Editing Memoir and Narrative Nonfiction
NEW! Requested course topic.
Thursdays, October 15 – November 19
Online (6 sessions)
Memoir and narrative nonfiction (for example, travel, natural history, and literary journalism) have some similarities to fiction: characters, scenes, and dialogue — and often a storyline. However, such manuscripts have other issues to explore and contend with, including chronology, issues of fact and fiction, and the reflective narrating voice. This class includes weekly lectures and online discussion. Participants will read a published work of memoir or narrative nonfiction of their choosing in order to analyze its elements. We'll focus on structural- and developmental-editing issues and communicating with authors in the form of editorial notes and letters.
Instructor Barbara Sjoholm is the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction. She was co-founder of Seal Press and a publisher-editor there for many years. She now runs the Author-Editor Clinic, a mentoring program for developmental and structural editors working on longer manuscripts.

Dealing with Nightmare Clients
NEW! From a popular author and speaker on the freelancing life.
Online (4 sessions)
We've all had them: clients and editors who stiff us, mess with our deadlines, and contact us round the clock. In this class specifically geared toward rookie and veteran freelance writers, we'll discuss how to chase down MIA payments, handle runaway revisions, deal with clients who are always late with deliverables, and set firmer boundaries with project managers and editors. We'll cover contract clauses that can help prevent scope creep, deadline changes, and late payments. And we'll look at how to determine whether a troublesome client relationship is salvageable. The last class session will be devoted to answering all your burning questions about any nightmare clients you're dealing with now.

Any tips on promoting cruise?

I do not know what area you are from, or how long you have been in the business, or what your experience is. Under this area "General Cruise Chat" there is another thread "Good Cruise Prices" where the moderator Sandy and Carol have some good words on the value of a TA and what TA's can do for their clients. Farmerjohn has mentioned some also. It goes way beyond just being there "incase" something goes wrong, and to provide coupons and a free bottle of wine. You will learn clients that are only looking for freebies have no loyalty to you and will book elsewhere if it saves $5. You could have booked that type of person three cruises, providing them great service and price, and lose them on the fourth (Whoops, they forgot about the first three). Ofcourse everyone wants the best deal. Who wouldn't. I don't know too many people that would walk in and say "Give me the worst price you have!" Sadly, in this fast paced and technology world we live in today so many people don't have loyalty, and don't recognize the value of service. They don't place a value on all the time they research on the internet, when they could have been spending it more productively, or with there families.
Learn the demographics and psychographics of your clients. Get as educated as you can on cruising, destinations, do seminars at sea. Keep up on what is happening in the cruise industry by reading all your trade news, and attending conferences. Good-Luck

Brent Rooney makes the case that since no studies were ever done of abortions on animals, performing them on people is a clear cut case of "human experimentation." Coincidentally, these "experiments" are being done primarily on black and Hispanic women:
"Suction" abortion (VAA, Vacuum Aspiration Abortion) performed on Black American women and Hispanic-American women is EXPERIMENTAL UNPROVEN surgery, since there are zero published animal studies demonstrating safety from risks of future premature births, mammary (breast) cancer, etc.
On 16 January 2008, Dr. Sharon Camp, President of the research arm of Planned Parenthood (AGI, Alan Guttmacher Institute) admitted in an email to me that AGI could find no published animal 'suction' abortion study.
It is an ethical scandal that "suction" abortions were performed on humans before safety
validation via published animal studies.
Margaret Sanger would be proud. Reading on:
In 2004 Black American Women had 38.2% of all U.S. abortions, according to CDC (Centers for Disease Control) data.
Since Black Women only represent about 13% of the U.S. female population, 38.2% means that Black American Women had 4.1 times the IA (Induced Abortion) rate as the non-black U.S.
population in 2004.
According to a 2007 study of Missouri women, Blacks have 3.7 times the risk of extremely pre-term birth (under 28.0 weeks' gestation).
So where's the harm?
These findings are backed by what Rooney calls "the Polish anti-experiment":
When Poland passed extreme restrictions to IA (induced abortion) access into law in 1989, government officials did not know that they were conducting an "anti-experiment."
Opponents to the new law predicted dire results for women's health. Between 1989 and 1993, Poland's IA rate per 1000 births plummeted by 98%. Between 1995 and 1997, dramatic trends occurred (according to United Nations data):
This Polish "miracle" was documented in the Winter issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons via the Rooney/Johnston letter.

Connections to combat loneliness
Connections to combat loneliness – Age Concern volunteer managers making a difference
Today is International Volunteer Managers Day and Age Concern is celebrating its own wonderful volunteer managers.
"Volunteers and their managers are vital to Age Concern, and support our work in many different ways. Our Accredited Visiting Service coordinators manage over 2,000 dedicated volunteer visitors aged from 18 to over 90, who make a huge difference in the lives of lonely and socially isolated older people throughout New Zealand" said Age Concern CEO Ann Martin today.
Andrea Billingsley, the Tauranga coordinator, says, "Our volunteer visitors make such a difference that it's challenging to fill the gap when a really great volunteer visitor has to step back from their role. It's important to respond quickly, as the older person can come to really rely on their weekly visit, and the friendship and support that the volunteer provides."
Andrea adds, "I love the job. The best part for me is going out to assess the older people. I want to make a good match with the right volunteer, so I often spend an hour at the first interview learning about their lives, their jobs, their loves. Quality matches can sometimes last for years, and we screen and train volunteers carefully at the beginning, so that we find people who are willing to commit to the role."
Today organizations across the globe will be celebrating their Volunteer Managers and the wonderful contributions they make.
To volunteer for Age Concern, visit our website at www.ageconcern.org.nz or call your local Age Concern.

UF coaches out to motivate Debose
Published: Monday, September 24, 2012 at 5:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 24, 2012 at 5:10 p.m.
The up-and-down career of Florida wide receiver Andre Debose appears to be back in a downward cycle.
Debose was held out of the first half against Kentucky this past Saturday. Now, it appears he could lose his role as the Gators' No. 1 punt returner.
Debose returned two punts for only eight yards and had no receptions against Kentucky.
"We need to get more production out of our punt return group," Muschamp said. "We've got some explosive guys. We need to settle on a guy and get a guy back there that's, No. 1, going to field the ball, but No. 2, can get the ball north and south. Stick your foot in the ground and get north and south."
A former five-star recruit, Debose is still struggling with consistency and work ethic in his redshirt junior season. Muschamp said Saturday that Debose did not play in the first half against UK because he did not practice well during the week.
"Anybody who is in the coaching profession, there's a key to every kid, and we've got to find that key to motivate any young man, not just Andre." Muschamp said Monday. "Day in, day out, to consistently perform well, to consistently do it the right way. Because, generally, your practice habits carry over to the game.
"I'm young, but I'm old-fashioned. I believe that. Guys that don't go out and consistently perform well in practice, it generally carries over to the game. As coaches, we want guys that consistently do it well and do it right. We promote that within our program. We're going to practice what we preach around here to our football team.
"Effort as much as anything (with Debose). Just consistently doing it the right way. It's consistently doing it the right way. Consistent effort."
Muschamp reiterated that players who don't consistently perform well in practice are not going to be playing a role on Saturday.
"The good players I've been around. … Jason Taylor, one of the best practice players I've ever been around," Muschamp said. "Junior Seau, one of the best practice players I've ever been around.
"They're going to be in Canton, Ohio, for a reason. God blessed them with a lot of ability, but they took advantage of the ability. They took it to another level."
LSU game at 3:30 p.m.
Florida's home game against LSU on Oct. 6 has been set for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff and will be televised by CBS Sports.
Nixon looking to improve
Debose isn't the only veteran player fighting to hang onto their playing time. Senior right offensive tackle Xavier Nixon shared playing time with true freshman D.J. Humphries against UK, and Muschamp said after the game that Humphries will continue to play more if he keeps practicing the way he has.
Muschamp said Nixon has been battling an injury, and struggling some with his pass protection.
"He's been banged up," Muschamp said Monday. "He's had a shoulder. He's had a legitimate injury there. He's a guy who has pushed through it. I think run assignments the other night were very good. He blocked extremely well in the run game. He didn't finish on a couple of things. Protection is something we need to solidify as far as his pass protection is concerned."
Outside run defense needs work
Despite pitching a shutout against Kentucky, the defense still needs some work on its perimeter run defense, Muschamp said. Kentucky's backs got outside on the Gators several times for good gains.
"In every defense, we have a primary run-force player who is in charge of the edge of the defense," Muschamp said. "In most situations, that's a secondary player or linebacker. Then we have a secondary run-force player that's in charge if a run-force breaks down.
"We haven't done a good job replacing the primary run-force player with the other guy. A little of that is understanding. That all goes back on me. We haven't done a good job coaching it.
"A lot of times it's want-to. That 230-pound back is running at one of our corners. We've got one that's real excited to go tackle — Loucheiz Purifoy — and the rest of them have to get more excited about tackling. You have to want to tackle."
Early look at the Tigers
Muschamp said he watched some of LSU's 12-10 win at Auburn on Saturday night, but he was mainly watching as a fan.
"Just watched it on Saturday night a little bit, not as a coach, just kind of enjoying watching the game," he said.
Muschamp started looking at the Tigers as a coach Sunday.
"We started last night. We started this morning," he said. "Typical LSU. Physical. Tough. Recruited extremely well. They do a good job of developing their players. They have a physical style of play, which you appreciate as a coach."
SEC award
Senior nose tackle Omar Hunter was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week for his career performance against Kentucky.
Hunter recorded a career-high eight tackles in UF's 38-0 win over the Wildcats. His previous career high was six tackles against Arkansas in 2009.
Pharr to head Gator Boosters
Former UF player Phil Pharr has been named the Executive Director of Gator Boosters, Inc. Pharr has spent more than 30 years with the organization.
Pharr has served as Associate Executive Director of Major Gifts since 1993, and on the Gators Boosters staff since 1981. He replaces John James, who retired as Executive Director in June.
Additionally, Doug Brown, previously Associate Executive Director for Annual Giving, has been elevated to Deputy Executive Director for Gator Boosters.

Hi -
Do those of you who own a DVC-500 get condensation on your hopper lid now & then? I searched this forum to see any posts about condensation and they all say this is because poor draft / needing a baro damper, etc. But with the DVC-500 being an airtight unit, I don't think those reasons apply, do they?
Do you get condensation on your hopper lid? We've been burning the stove for 3 weeks now so I want to ask to be sure we aren't wrecking our stove in its first season.

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Other Ready Meals "
During a recent holiday in Spain, my wife and I visited one of the many restaurants and looking for a vegetarian meal, came across a similar ingredients of Mozzarella Ravioli and enjoyed this mouth watering meal.
When we returned to England, my wife was shopping on line at Tescos and looked for a similar ready meal as a matter of interest. Well it so happened to be available and with anticipation, when it came with the delivery, we thought we would have it that evening.
Adding a few potatoes and some vegetables to cater for two, we boiled the contents as directed shortly after the vegetables because it only takes 4-5 minutes to cook from boiling.
Once we removed it from the pan I tasted the tomato juice for added seasoning. This I only had to add a little before we sat down to enjoy. But one bite into the rviolli and I had to tell my wife to stop. It had meat in it!
We looked at the packaging once again and the ingredients. they were as we expected but the contents were not the same.
I phoned the tesco Customer Services the following day, who refunded the money with no problem and a sincere apology with a pledge to look into the problem.
I have the house to myself, a rare treat. I love getting to be in charge of the remote and the fact that I don't have to compromise on my food choices. Trouble is that left to my own devices I tend to get too absorbed in what I'm doing and simply forget to eat all day then it's 8pm and my stomach is growling and I feel faint from lack of food so I end up getting a take away.
I was determined not to let this happen this weekend so decided to stock up on some no preperation food. The tomato and mozarella salad from Tesco looked delicious albeit a bit pricey at £1.99 for a little pot so I decided to try it.
When I went shopping on Friday it had been a lovely day. Problem was that Saturday was freezing and salad didn't seem nearly so appealing. I decided instead to make a pasta sauce.
On opening the tub I've got to admit I was a little disapointed. The bottom of the tub had several mozarealla balls infused in a delicious oily dressing but a few sprigs of rocket and some cherry tomatoes had simply been plonked on top. I admit not looking at the salad closely before I bought it but I had assumed the tomatoes would be chopped and mixed in salsa style.
I took the cherry tomatoes with some more from the fridge and chopped them very small and fried in a pan with a little olive oil and some garlic until they were soft and took on a lovely mushy creamy hue.
Meanwhile I boiled some spaghetti and when it was cooked stirred the tomatoes through and then chopped the mozarella and also stirred that and the rocket through.
My meal was simply delicious. The heat from the pasta melted the cheese slightly and gave it a lovely smooth stringy sensation and the peppery rocket mixed well too. The oil was delicately flavoured with the herbs adding interest to my meal without making it greasy.
Overall this little tub of salad was delicious but I couldn't help feel a bit cheated at how little I got for my money. At 125 calories per half pot (but who's going to just eat half!) it's not too bad and at least you know the calories are also giving you a lot of goodness. A delicious treat but too expensive to indulge in on a regular basis.
While I was out shopping yesterday I fancied something quick I could eat as soon as I got home without cooking. In Tesco I looked at uninspiring potato salad and ready cooked chicken in the chillers and eventually found myself in the salad aisle looking at their prepacked salads. The one which stood out as being more exciting than the rest was this Tesco Finest Tomato and Mozzarella Salad which looked delicious and light on a warm summers evening such as we had yesterday.
This salad comes in a small square pot, similar to those you would use at a supermarket self service salad bar. It looks nice and classy with its silver Finest label, which also works to seal the pot closed, decorated with balls of mozzarella and ripe plum tomatoes. Through the clear pot the salad looks lovely, it's obviously layered with the green salad at the bottom topped with the tomatoes and small mozzarella balls.
When I got home I arranged the salad on a plate along with a cooked chicken leg that was in the fridge. It all looks succulent and fresh, I cannot wait to tuck in while sitting in the garden with a nice glass of juice.
The rocket leaves are delicious, they have the perfect peppery and slightly bitter flavour and are so much more interesting than normal lettuce. They are a naturally soft salad leaf but have absorbed some of the basil infused oil and this has given them a delicious moist texture which tastes fresh and summery.
The small cherry tomatoes in the salad are gorgeous, they are sweet and fleshy and absolutely freezing cold in the middle which I found very refreshing. They are extremely fresh and this is apparent by the stretched appearance of the skin and the way the tomato juice literally spits out as I spear it with my fork. The tomato and rocket go beautifully together as the tomato helps to counteract some of the bitterness of the rocket.
The best thing about this salad in my opinion is the mozzarella. It is delicious. The balls of cheese are slightly smaller than the tomatoes, but still large enough to cut in half to make the treat last that little bit longer. The mozzarella is soft with a texture that gives very easily when I use the side of my fork to slice it, the balls are a pure white and look to be hand shaped as they are not a uniform shape or size. It has the gloriously bland creamy taste that mozzarella is known for. There is much more mozzarella in the pot that I thought there would be and I was glad for that because these little squidgey balls made all the difference to the salad.
This whole selection of lovely salad foods are drizzled with a light basil infused oil, it is Sunflower Oil flavoured with basil and oregano then seasoned to perfection. This oil dressing marries together all the individual flavours of the salad and gives them something in common, I cannot say I can taste the different components of this oil separately but I would say it is definitely Sunflower Oil with a difference. It's not a heavy oil and doesn't actually make the salad greasy, it's light and gives the salad an extra depth of flavour.
Diet wise it's not the very best salad to have, each pot has 250 calories and 12.2g of fat but it has still got to be better than eating a burger or cheese on toast for your meal. It's quite a small salad so I'm glad I had my cold chicken leg and dollop of mayo on the plate with it. This was also nice too incidentally so it was a delicious meal all round, especially when the basil oil dripped onto the chicken. Lovely.
At the moment these salads are on special offer where you can buy two pots for £3, or they are priced at £1.99 each which I think is fair for the quality of the salad. The use by date is only three days in the future though (mine was anyway) so I wouldn't advise stocking up on these as the ingredients will deteriorate very quickly once this date has passed.

Forget jostling for the underdog status, the "big game Brumbies" know the odds are stacked in their favour ahead of Friday's Super Rugby quasi-final against the Western Force.
The equation is pretty simple for both Aussie sides heading into the last round of the competition.
Win and they progress to the finals, lose and they are almost surely bundled out of the competition.
It's a scenario that would normally have both sides angling hard for the underdog tag.
But not the Brumbies.
Head coach Stephen Larkham knows his side has a lot of advantages heading into the derby, and he intends to make the most of them.
He admits the Brumbies' deep run into last year's Super Rugby finals should give them an edge over the Force - who have never played finals footy in their nine year history.
"We are a big game team. And this is certainly a big game," Larkham said.
"We've had a couple of finals campaigns. We had a qualifying final here at home last year against the Cheetahs, then we went over and beat the Bulls."
Then there's the fact the match will be played in chilly Canberra.
"There's certainly an advantage of playing at home, and there's just a six day turnaround for the Force," Larkham said.
The Brumbies on the other hand are coming off a bye week, the extra rest allowing Wallabies Matt Toomua (groin) and Sam Carter (ankle) to return to the starting line up.
Fellow Test players Pat McCabe (shoulder) and Joe Tomane (cheekbone) will also return, albeit off the bench behind fullback Jesse Mogg and winger Clyde Rathbone.
"The Force have a few guys out injured," Larkham adds.
"Hugh McMeniman has been suspended as well, which makes a bit of a difference to their forward pack.
"So there's a fair few things going in our favour."
While the game could end up being the last for Rathbone, captain Ben Mowen, and director of rugby Laurie Fisher in Brumbies colours, Larkham insists the squad has avoided talk of that this week.
"We're certainly not talking about this being the final game of the season, we are talking about this being the start of our finals campaign," he said.

The car mechanic from Coulsdon, Surrey, had the winning ticket which has netted him £107.9m - the fourth largest amount so far.
The mystery man, who is also said to be a racing driver, will reveal his plans at the news conference.
After the lucky punter produced his ticket, a National Lottery spokesman said: "We're delighted Friday's ticket-holder has come forward to claim this amazing prize.
"This massive win ranks fourth biggest on the National Lottery rich list and is the first EuroMillions jackpot to be won here in the UK so far this year."
The vast sum of money could buy any amount of luxuries, including the Greek island of Omfori, currently on sale for around £41m and a Lamborghini Veneno, one of the world's most expensive cars at a cost of £2.4m, and still leave plenty of change.
Closer to home, the winner could invest in a 21-bedroom home in Mayfair, one of the capital's most exclusive areas, which is on the market for £90m.
Colin and Chris Weir, who won a £161m EuroMillions jackpot in July 2011 are still top of the list for UK lottery winners.
Friday's winning numbers were 6, 24, 25, 27 and 30, with the Lucky Star numbers 5 and 9.

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. - Should teens be expected to work part-time jobs while in high school?
My kids are still a little young and we haven't crossed that bridge but the subject came up recently when my husband and I started talking about the first jobs we ever had.
It's funny how you can look back at things in your life like your old high school jobs and wonder how much those early job experiences helped.
When you throw the teens and part-time jobs question out there, my immediate response seems like a no-brainer... Of course teens should work to get some real-life experience.
But, the more I talked to my husband and the more I looked back to my own experiences, I saw just as many pitfalls and lost opportunities as benefits.
There were some real differences between us when it came to how we were raised and it made me wonder how we would approach the issue with our kids.
My work situation as a teen was relatively sheltered.
I was a waitress at Big Boy from age 15 to age 17.
Sure, it wasn't the most glamorous job in the world but it was exposure to customer service and learning how the restaurant business worked.
My Big Boy job was also on the low end of part-time - only 12-15 hours a week.
My cheerleading schedule and academics took care of my time Monday through Friday.
I grew up in a very traditional, almost stereotypical Italian family.
We were very family-oriented.
My 12-15 hour work weeks didn't net me a lot of money.
I was very fortunate that my parents chipped in to help with money if I ever needed something for school or wanted to go to the movies.
They knew my after school activities (cheerleading and school clubs) were important and chewed up a lot of time.
My parents didn't give me very much in terms of money, but they definitely helped.
I rarely asked for extra money to go somewhere but when I did, they usually obliged.
Long story short - I didn't have a lot of money but I never went without.
My husband's situation was different.
He started a paper route when he was 14 to buy his own guitar.
My husband was on the hook for most of his teen expenses (gas, entertainment, trips, guitar lessons etc.)
If he wanted something, he had to buy it.
His paper route job led to a dishwashing job at a Chinese restaurant and then a busboy/cook position at Pizza Hut for the rest of high school.
While my husband's teen jobs taught responsibility, they weren't necessarily in fields that taught a lot.
His teen jobs also required him to work a lot of week nights and weekends.
Since my husband didn't play high school sports, he worked between 25 and 35 hours a week.
When we were talking about our teens and jobs, he almost lamented that perhaps he had worked too much and missed out on valuable experiences, or maybe the hours can affect your ability to excel in school.
That said, he did have the pocket money he needed to date, save for Spring Break, and buy all the cassette tapes and guitar lessons he wanted.
Looking into the crystal ball for our kids, it's still way too early for us to make decisions yet as to when or if my kids will need or want to take part-time jobs in high school or even how many hours they should work if they do work.
Both my kids are already showing signs that they want to be heavily involved with high school sports and activities.
I'd like to be able to help them out money-wise, but that's likely going to be difficult.
When I was a teen I could fill up my gas tank for $12 or go to the movies for $5.
It sounds great for me to say I'd pay for some of their non-sports after school activities.
But, the first time they ask for a tank of gas and movie money, and the total comes out to be $75 each, I'm going to do more than blink!
I shudder to think about the look on my husband's face one day when my daughter asks for prom dress or spring break money!
When I was a teen it was "just expected" that kids should just march out and take whatever job, no matter what it was, that came their way.
When it comes to my husband and me, only our fashion choices back then were as dubious as our job selections.
Neither of us regrets working, but we could have done better if we would have thought out our job choices a bit more than we did.
I'd like my son or daughter's first teen job to really help them with a skill they could use moving forward.
Setting up the breakfast buffet at Big Boy or my husband washing dishes at 1 a.m. on a Saturday taught the value of hard work but there was little else we took from those experiences that we could apply to our future.
I'm hoping my kids will be able to pursue a skill or craft that may apply to their future or, at the very least, be a little more selective when it comes to jobs than my husband and I were.
There's a lot to think about when it comes to kids becoming teens and working high school jobs.
I want my kids to learn the value of hard work when they're young but I also want them to focus on their grades and have a social life with their friends as well.
Hopefully they can find a nice balance.

text: Mr. Scot 34,528 Report post Posted September 1, 2013 Yeah I'd kind of like to know why Austin isn't even on the table if he's not. The "reasons" would be nice to see rather than just the statement, I thought he'd be worth a look. Worth remembering that Gettleman's familiarity with him could be a reason why he wouldn't want him. If his opinion of him in NY was bad, he might say "stay away from that one, he's not worth it". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

|New Consumer Education Agency
|Britain's biggest pensioner organisation, a leading trade union representing care workers and a major charity tackling elder abuse, have joined forces to respond to the government's green paper consultation on the future of care. The National Pensioners Convention (NPC), GMB and Action on Elder Abuse (AEA) have identified three key concerns surrounding the government's care proposals, which they say could jeopardise the safety of older people and damage the quality of the services they receive. Their joint response to the green paper calls for: 1. A new National Care Service to be funded through general taxation rather than the use of one-off lump sum payments, private insurance or through the use of existing care or disability benefits. The organisations believe that the proposed National Care Service can only be properly financed through a universal tax-funded system, and the government's instant dismissal of this option is not evidence based, but politically driven. There is wider support for this amongst the public and other stakeholders than the government seems prepared to acknowledge. 2. A new National Care Service to be properly regulated with regard to registration, standards, monitoring and inspection of care providers and those employed in the care sector. There should be new requirements for the registration of care providers so that 50% of staff in care homes and all new staff working in domiciliary care would be suitably qualified. The General Social Care Council should also be responsible for registering, inspecting and regulating paid care workers. 3. The use of individual budgets for older people to be reconsidered as they raise serious concerns about personal safety, the quality of care and unacceptable responsibility that will be placed on many vulnerable users. Individual budgets purport to give individuals choice and control over their care, but for many older people they will be an unacceptable burden. Individual budgets also raise serious concerns about the safety and protection of vulnerable individuals who will be responsible for employing their own care workers, who at present are exempt from registration, regulation and inspection. Dot Gibson of NPC says, "Care in the UK is in crisis. For years it has been the Cinderella service of the welfare state, under funded and overlooked, and this long awaited green paper has clearly missed the opportunity to put this right. Suggestions that people should pay lump sums or take out private health insurance just won't tackle the inequalities in the system. Older people and their families have a right to ask: why when education, the NHS and many other public services can be funded by society as a whole, should the care of our most vulnerable pensioners be left to individuals? For generations that have already contributed to our society, the fairest and most effective way of providing good quality care to everyone is through a tax-funded option, and it is disgraceful that the government has ruled this out of the consultation before we've even had a debate." Sharon Holder of GMB says, "The workforce, which accounts for 80% of all social care expenditure in the UK, is low paid, nearly half work part-time, is supplemented by migrant and agency workers and is predominated by female staff. There is no longer a requirement that 50% of staff employed in care homes will be qualified to NVQ 2 level, and, as a consequence, the quality of care provision across the sector is suffering. The failure of the government in the green paper to devote any significant attention to workforce issues simply underpins the lack of any real commitment to delivering the high quality and innovative services users want and the government desires. If the future of care and support in England is to truly improve, then, more needs to be done to regulate standards, monitor provisions and improve the conditions of the workforce." Gary Fitzgerald of Action on Elder Abuse says; "The funding and delivery of social care support has a major impact upon the quality of life for many older people, and the constant re-writing of eligibility criteria to exclude them from access to anything other than critical support has resulted in an increase in neglect within our communities. The transfer of social care from regulated, managed and supervised services to the unregulated provision of 'cash for care' is dangerous. It goes against all that the government knows about elder abuse and it unnecessarily increases risk without any safeguards being put in place. Older people do not want to become employers and managers in their old age; they want quality care that is flexible and safe, and it is about time the government listened to their voices."

Anyway, onto my essay. I think we've all see the "I'm just a normal person blah blah" stuff before so there's nothing new here. I moved here from New Jersey back in the summer so I'm still branching out and trying to meet new people. I was in the Navy years ago where I worked as an electrician on sub hunting aircraft. Nowadays I go to school and work pretty much seven days a week so making time for a social life is a bit challenging but I do manage it, I've got family in the area and between them and everything else I manage to stay pretty busy. When I'm not working or going to school I enjoy most things that guys like to do, for example video games, sports, getting some drinks and stuff like that. Nothing too far out of the ordinary. I live by myself with two cats, so if you don't like cats or are allergic we're probably not going to have much in common.
I'd like to meet someone who has the same sense of humor as I do, I try not to take life too serious and I feel that a lighthearted outlook is key. In that same vein, please be over your ex and emotionally ready to move on. Kids don't freak me out, I have a little boy of my own that lives with his mother in NJ. Being a 38 year old man I realize we all have drama and events in our lives that have shaped us and made us who we are today, if you don't have any issues at all in your life I'd have to think you lived under a rock for your entire life!
So to briefly recap :
• Lives by himself in his own apartment with two cats. Has his own car and is gainfully employed and attends night school to get his aircraft mechanic license.
• Cooks! Cleans! Even vacuums!!
• No ex drama. In fact we're pretty good friends still (she lives in New Jersey).
• Are over your ex. Like really. This is the major one.
• Have a sense of humor and some wit. A little back and forth is nice to have with someone, after a while talking about the weather gets old.
• Live reasonably close to the seabrook area.
Music is very eclectic. My tastes run the gamut from 80's up through more typical stuff. Took, Hammerfall, Metallica, Cake, Breaking Benjamin, Flogging Molly, Alice in Chains, Deadmau5, Amy Winehouse, Beatles, Black Crowes, Danzig, Five finger Death Punch, Foo Fighters, Godsmack, hollywood Undead, Iron Maiden, Jackyl(dont hate me), etc etc. Not into country much at all
Favorite TV shows: It's always sunny in Philadelphia, Archer, Workaholics, Boardwalk Empire, Firefly, Carnivale, Game of Thrones. I don't have a whole lot of time to watch TV, I mostly stream it or just download it and watch it later when I have time. I read a good amount, mostly pulp sci-fi novels that I truly love.
I also have a bit of a trash mouth.
Bonus points if you have tattoos and have a little bit of a trash mouth.
I'm not really into the Barbie stick figure thing, so if you'd describe yourself as "curvy" or "a little extra" then you get lots of bonus points!
You read for pleasure, you love zombie movies and you know the difference between your and you're.

Here are 10 things you should know for Wednesday, Dec. 11:
1. -- U.S. stock futures were declining and stocks across the globe were mostly lower as investors have drawn the conclusion it's likely the Federal Reserve will curtail stimulus for the U.S. economy this month.
European shares were flat. Asian stocks ended Wednesday's session with losses. Japan's Nikkei 225 closed down 0.6%
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. Wednesday includes the Treasury Budget for November at 2 p.m. EST.
3. -- U.S. stocks on Tuesday closed lower amid budget talks in Washington and profit-taking after the S&P 500 reached a record high on Monday, and concerns the Federal Reserve might curtail its bond-buying program of $85 billion a month as early as next week
4. -- Congressional negotiators reached a modest budget agreement Tuesday to restore about $65 billion in automatic spending cuts from programs ranging from parks to the Pentagon, with votes expected in both houses by the end of the week.
Officials said the increases would be offset by a variety of spending reductions and increased fees elsewhere in the budget totaling about $85 billion over a decade, enough for a largely symbolic cut of roughly $20 billion in the nation's $17 trillion debt.
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who with his Senate counterpart, Patty Murray, D-Wash., unveiled the measure on Tuesday, will pitch the measure to skeptical conservatives at a closed-door GOP meeting on Wednesday. Democrats are set to discuss it as well, but the measure won an immediate endorsement from President Obama.
5. -- MasterCard (MA), the credit card giant, announced Tuesday a 10-for-1 stock split, an 83% boost to its dividend and a buyback plan of $3.5 billion.
The stock closed Tuesday at $763.61. The stock split will push the shares below $80. The split is scheduled to occur Jan. 21.
The new quarterly dividend of $1.10, or 11 cents after the split, will be paid Feb. 10.
"Today's actions reflect our ongoing commitment to deliver shareholder value as well as our confidence in the long-term growth and financial performance of our company," said Ajay Banga, MasterCard's president and CEO, in a statement.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli was right to not join with other states in the case between a family whose son was killed while serving in the military and the nut case Fred Phelps and his small band of followers from Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas.

Beyond the Hills Gallery & Home Accents has become a hub for local artisans and craftsmen. Vera Swain is from the area and said she always wanted to own a business. A year and a half ago she opened her store.
"I decided in 2009, I was going to go for it," Swain said.
Lynchburg College and the Claytor Nature Study Center began a tour of Bedford area civic groups with a stop by the Bedford Kiwanis Club's luncheon meeting last week. The college and the Claytor Center were represented by John Stafford, a fundraiser for the college, and Dr. Greg Eaton, the Claytor Center's director.
Stafford and Eaton were there to talk about the Claytor Center's planned Eco-Village.
Last year, Bedford County Public Schools cut out funding for the Early College program. This year's graduating seniors will be the last group to graduate with taxpayer funding.
The program still exists, however. There are a group of high school juniors now attending, with their parents footing the bill, and the program is taking applications for a new group of juniors for next year.
Bedford County Public Schools may get more local money in the next fiscal year, after all.
This assumes that the supervisors follow their past practice of equalizing the real estate tax rate and sharing half of additional discretionary revenue with the school division, which would increase the local transfer to the schools by $1.1 million.
Monday, at about 11 p.m., city of Bedford Police responded to the parking lot of the Bedford County Sheriff's Office on Falling Creek Road in reference to a possible hit-and-run vehicle crash that had occurred in the city.
"This will be my last run," said Sheriff Mike Brown, when he announced last week that he will seek reelection as sheriff this fall. "It'll be 20 years."
By 20 years, Brown means that when he leaves office in 2016 if he's reelected in November, he would have completed 20 years in office. He was first elected in 1995 and took office in January, 1996.
Like a lot of folks in Bedford County, Richard Franklin has spent more than his share of time hunting.
"I was born with a pistol in my hand," he jokes.
Bedford Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred around 4 a.m. Sunday.
On Sunday, March 6, a resident of the 1000 block of Gum Street in Bedford contacted the Police Department and reported that the robbery had occurred, according to Bedford Police Chief Jim Day. Investigators were advised that several men had entered the residence by force and held the occupants at gunpoint while accomplices ransacked the home looking for money.

This Frugi gown is elasticated at the bottom to make nappy changing a breeze - It even has integral scratch mitts! The gown is available in one size, designed to last from birth to at least 6 months. We advise you to buy two - one on, and one in the wash.
- Machine washable at 30
- Can be tumble dried on a low heat setting
Note- Organic cotton isn't coated with all the nasty resins that conventional cotton uses to prevent shrinking and Items will shrink up to 5%. But don't worry, theses clothes have been cut to take that into account. So, go ahead and pop them in the washing machine. A 30 or 40 degree wash will be fine (and saves the planet too!). If you tumble dry them, tumble them on a low heat

Researchers at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado/Boulder, and the Colorado A summary of the effects of instruction for children with learning disabilities reveals several significant findings. A recent meta-analysis was conducted on 85 single-subject-design studies in which children or adults with learning disabilities received treatment to enhance their academ-ic, social, and/or cognitive performance. H. Lee Swanson and Carole Sachse-Lee, University of California/Riverside found that in word recognition, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics, language, social skills etc., interventions significantly increased performance. In combination with an earlier meta-analysis of experimental-group studies, results reveal that students with learning disabilities benefit substantially from educational intervention.
Successful treatments included direct instruction (teacher-directed drill, repetition, practice and review); breaking down a task into small steps with frequent testing and feedback; interactive small-group instruction; and cognitive-strategy instruction that directed students to focus on task requirements, procedures, and monitoring their performance. These four interventions produced the greatest increases in students' achievement. Cognitive-strategy and direct instruction had particularly pervasive positive effects.
The effects of strategy instruction differed, however, by reading level and overall ability. The largest treatment effects with cognitive-strategy instruction were seen with students in the low-average IQ range (85- 90) who tested in the lowest quartile in reading. Studies that combined cognitive-strategy instruction and direct instruction produced particularly large effects for these students. However, students with higher IQs and low reading skills benefited more from interventions other than cognitive-strategy instruction. Students with a large discrepancy between IQ and achievement were more resistant to improvement than students with less discrepancy. These findings are important, these researchers conclude, because they suggest that certain characteristics of the students contribute to the success or failure of educational inter-ventions.

NEW YORK (Jun. 25)
Expansion plans for the Jewish Theological Seminary were approved in principle by the executive committee of the institution's board of directors at a meeting held today. New facilities endorsed by the committee include living quarters for faculty and students, a library, and other needed educational buildings.
The Committee indicated that no time schedule for the construction of the new facilities could be given at this time, since financial arrangements have not been completed. The committee was making an announcement at this time in order to honor its moral commitment to residents of the Morningside community to keep them informed of developments affecting housing in the area. The land occupied by two buildings in this area will be required for the new construction.

Halo 2
Review by maul000
"Could anything be any better?"
Could anything be any better? Halo 2 is 1 of the best X-box games I have ever seen. It is a FPS (First Person Shooter). I think that it really makes it better than third person shooter.
The weapons in this game make it different and more enjoyable than the small amount of weapons in Halo Combat Evolved.Each weapon just has a perfect difference from each other.It seems that in the human world there is a weapon that is used for the same ability as each other. For a example a Beam Rifle (Alien Weapon) and a Sniper Rifle (Human Weapon).The weapons were very enjoyable to use, I also like how they save some awesome weapons for later in the game.
Vision and Graphics-
The graphics in this game are awesome.In the scenes in the beginning and in the middle and at the end of the levels are really good. When you are playing through the levels the graphics are unbelieveablely awesome.You can see everything that is going on around you and you can see what you need to see to make it out alive and be the only one who could be able to save the Human Race.The on screen information shows what weapon you are holding and how much ammo you have left.The sheild is your only health that when it is depleated you will die.Your sheild will replenish if you can take some cover.
In Halo 2 you will face a number of different enimies.The Flood, Aliens, Brutes and there is different types of each kind of enemy.Some enimies are tougher than others.Some aren't even worth using ammo on.There is also some robots that are kind of hard to shoot.1 of the toughest enemies is a Hunter.They are 12 feet tall and they have a unlimited wepon that can not run out of ammo.The easiest enemy is a Grunt.They are the Minor rank of the Convenant.They can be killed with a slash of your gun.
In Halo 2 you will have to move quickly through the levels.There are tanks and there are fast moving machines.The Human tank is called a Scorpion and the Human fast moving vehicles is a Warthog.
Halo 2 is a awesome game made by Microsoft and published by Bungie.The story takes a winding turn as it takes you into the role of a Alien Elite.The graphics are good and the weapons can kick some alien butt.You can melee people with your weapon in close range of if you are out of ammo.In each weapon there is a specific purpose that it is used for.The enemy charge weapons can not be reloaded.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Album: Glasvegas (Columbia)
In stores: Now
Why we care: London music mags, a cynical bunch for sure, are calling Glasvegas the "best new band in Britain." This earnest, noisy quartet combines the working-class jangle of their Scottish roots (that's the "Glas-") with the hopeful despair of Sin City (that's the "-vegas"). Think the sturm of My Bloody Valentine sullying the glitz of the Killers.
Why we like it: Lead singer-songwriter-guitarist James Allan looks just like Joe Strummer — and kind of sounds like him, too. But Glasvegas doesn't long to start a white riot. They just want to crawl into a pub and romanticize their blue-collar lives. Daddy's Gone uses '60s-girl-group sh-booms to tell a tale of familial woe.

Grade: B+
Johnny Cash
Album: Johnny Cash Remixed (Compadre)
In stores: Jan. 27
Why we care: When Elvis got the posthumous remix treatment (A Little Less Conversation), it made fun, if slick, sense. The King's R&B was inherently danceable and built for boogie. But the late, great Man in Black interpreted by Snoop Dogg and the knob-twiddling guys who did the Sopranos theme? Sounds like trouble.
Why we like it: Snoop's do-over of I Walk the Line leaves the Man in Black sounding tinny and weak under heavy hip-hop. That's just wrong. But Alabama 3 drags Leave That Junk Alone through electro-grit and treats Cash as an otherworldly hero with the voice of God. Enough smart DJs here do the same.

Grade: B-
Willie Nelson & Asleep at the Wheel
Album: Willie and the Wheel (Bismeaux)
In stores: Feb. 3
Why we care: Now here's a much more natural collaboration. Smokin' Willie Nelson and those rootin'-tootin' rapscallions in Asleep at the Wheel tackle classic Western swing songs all handpicked by late producer Jerry Wexler. This project has been percolating for years, but the Red-Headed Stranger and his steel-pedal pals tackle 12 frisky numbers with a relaxed verve and reverent energy.
Why we like it: Swing legends Spade Cooley and Bob Wills get their cuts covered and cooked with extra pep. Ray Benson runs the Wheel like a saucy square-dance caller, and Vince Gill and Paul Shaffer make cameos.
Reminds us of: Woody's Round-Up
Download this: Sweet Jennie Lee
Grade: A
Company of Thieves
Song: Oscar Wilde
In stores: iTunes
Why we care: I used to have a huge crush on Natalie Merchant. It made sense in an opposites-attract sort of way. I was an unrefined, Funyuns-eating goon. The 10,000 Maniacs dervish was a wallflowery feminist who didn't own a TV. I'm telling you, I loved that crazy gal. I'm now feeling very much the same way about Genevieve Schatz, the spinny, yelpy lead singer of Chicago trio Company of Thieves. I'm fairly certain she'd hate me . . . and I dig that about her! I'm over you, Merchant!
Why we like it: "We are all our own devil / And we make this world our hell." Schatz takes modern life to task as crunchy guitarist Marc Walloch plays as if he's in a Rolling Stones tribute band, a sweet and sour combo for sure.
Reminds us of: Who am I kidding? I STILL LOVE YOU, NATALIE! WHERE ARE YOU?!

East Brunswick All Girls Choir return to New Zealand this February
Wednesday February 5th, Whammy Bar, Auckland
Sometimes it's folk, other's just plain abrasive, it can sound like the old dainty blues and even "quite pretty". Since 2008, Melbourne's East Brunswick All Girls Choir have been playing anywhere and everywhere.
Lining up alongside the likes of Thee Oh Sees, The Chills, The Bats, Darren Hanlon and Children Collide, EBAGC are fast gaining recognition as one of Australia's best new acts.
"DEAD AIR doesn't sound like a
conventional record but it sounds just right, with skeletal
guitar lines and rolling thunder rhythm sections ratcheting
up the intensity without ever using more velocity as a
get-out clause"
- Craig Mathieson, Sydney Morning Herald.
Returning to New Zealand after shifting sands across the globe East Brunswick All Girls Choir have a swag of new tracks and a new album just about to breach womb.
With new single Dirty Bird released late last year they're ready to bring the filth to the doorstep, like a shitty present the dog leaves on your bed.

The color is kind of sheer but it is easily layere...read mored for more pigmentation. This lipstick has an average staying power it does not really last through a meal or too many kisses from my hubby. The taste is not the best but most lipsticks are like that.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
You can stop reading now. The message in the headline is my whole post and what I'll conclude at the end.
For those of you curious as to why it's impossible—keep reading.
Yes, I know this topic has been covered ad nauseam, but apparently we need to cover it one more time because I continue to see writers and authors trying to write in more than one genre.
Writers tell me frequently things like, "I really am a romance type, but I don't want to shut the door on cozy mysteries so I'm going to do them too. Is that okay?" Or, "My passion is non-fiction, but I really want to publish novels as well so I'm working on both. Do you think editors and agents will mind?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. They'll mind. Fiction or non-fiction. Not both. And if you choose fiction, you get to work in one genre. Only one. You must choose one direction or another.
For those of you who don't know, I've been a marketing professional for more than 20 years. Let me assure you I'm not basing this statement on opinion only. But rather than get technical, let me give you a few illustrations to show you how this works.
A Few Changing Genres Examples
• Let's say your favorite radio station is KMPS, the number one country station in your city. You've tuned in a least a few minutes every day for the past five years. Then one day you tune in and the format has changed. It's now Classic Rock. You're not pleased. Even if you are a Classic Rock fan, this isn't working for you. When you tune in to 94.1 you expect country. But the station says, sorry, Charlie, no tuna for you—it's flounder now. You say sorry as well and never listen to the new station.
• Or imagine walking into your favorite sushi restaurant with a friend on Saturday night. They bring you the menu and surprise, the only thing on it is steaks. Problem. You might like steak, but you weren't expecting it at this restaurant. If you wanted steak you would have gone to your favorite steak house.
See, once you brand yourself into a reader's mind, it is EXTREMELY difficult if not impossible to remove the first brand and put another on top of it. You think tattoo removal is impossible? Try re-branding yourself in another genre.
One more example and then I'll let you start telling me I'm wrong and about the exceptions to my statement. (You can't use John Grisham since A Painted House sold dismal numbers compared to his legal thrillers and only serves to prove my point.)
Once upon a time there was a man named James. James was a talented musician. Very talented. He joined three other very talented musicians. They made music. But as many bands do, they broke up.
So James started another band that dominated the charts with a slew of number one songs and they sold out massive arenas all over the world. He wrote theme songs for hit movies. Then he became a painter and displayed his paintings in prestigious galleries as well as continued to make music as a solo artist.
But even though his first success (his first band) happened more than 40 years ago, people STILL reference him by who he was in the first band—not by who he's been for the past 40 years. It's just dang hard to get that genre out of the brain and replace it with a new one.
