Can you guys give me your recipe? I'm wondering about the consistency of my own. Seems a little thick should it be this way or more pliable like play doh? Mine always is more like clay. THX in advance!
16 oz bag of Marshmallows
2 lbs sifted powder sugar
2 TBSP liquid ( I use a mix of vanilla and water)
Melt marshmallows and liquid until smooth in microwave ,stirring often.
Knead in as much sugar as possible. It will be dry and kinda tough. Coat with shortening ,place in ziploc bag and let sit for at least 8 hours.
This is my favorite recipe and method. I don't melt the marshmallows completely to liquid.
If your MMF is too clay-like you may just need to knead it more. You can also try adding small amounts of vegetable shortening as you knead it to soften it.
I use the same recipe as jamiekwebb; but I don't always use the entire 2 pound bag of PS. I just knead it until it feels like the correct consistancy; it also just takes practice to get the feel of it Keep trying, you'll get it right! HTH.
I made black fondant from chocolate mmf recipe on Sunday. My question is, does it harden like fondx or other store bought fondant?
I do the recipe that MisWheels does, but I put a 1/2 cup of Crisco in it too. 1/2 cup Crisco on bottom of bowl. Add 1/2 of the sugar. Add Melted marshmallows/water mixture. Mix with dough hook until incorporated. Add rest of sugar until you get desired consistency. Since I started adding the 1/2 cup of Crisco, I found that it is much easier to work with.

Becoming an entrepreneur has several benefits. When you successfully build your own business, you are on your way to building financial freedom. Achieving financial freedom means you now have enough money to invest in instruments. Then you have enough to put in real estate, stocks, fixed deposit, etc.
One other advantage of being an entrepreneur is that you are your own boss; you do not have to report to anyone; the business picks up your bills; you have become the responsibility of your company.

HTC® Radar 4G: New Smartphone that supports HSPA
HTC Radar 4G, a Windows Phone offering from T-Mobile, was recently made available for review at the San Diego CTIA event that gave people a peek at the device. The most notable thing about the smartphone is that it supports HSPA . The phone features Windows Phone 7.5 or Mango, being the first update to mobile OS of the Microsoft. Although this update is already sent to certain Windows Phone handset users, none of them have a mobile OS at present, other than HTC Radar 4G.
The design of the phone is also impressive. It has unibody aluminum build, similar to several high-end HTC smartphones. The color scheme of the phone is all-white, which is highlighted by strong colors of the Mango.
Also, HTC Radar 4G is the first smartphone that runs Windows Phone Mango OS, supporting T-Mobile HSPA 4G network. But, like HTC Amaze 4G smartphone and Samsung Galaxy 2, it does not support HSPA 42 network. The phone supports HSPA 14.4, which is a little slower than other networks of T-Mobile. Apart from all these features, observers have noted that this phone has all the basic features that are expected from a smartphone.
The phone has a 1GHz Snapdragon microprocessor, a 3.8 inch LCD display screen, and a 5 megapixel camera. It also has a front-facing camera. HTC has not said anything when it will release the phone officially.

The Sorely Trying Day
$11.96 $14.95
By Russell Hoban and Lillian Hoban
What a mess! The cat is on top of the grandfather clock, the dog is barking and lunging, and all the children are squabbling and shouting. Well, who started it? Each child points to the next, and even the dog blames the cat. But the truth is another story. From the author and illustrator of the Frances books.
Hardcover, 48 pages
The wit and cleverness of The Sorely Trying Day could not be more timely, and the book has a delicious ring of political satire that adults will enjoy...The absurdity of each crime (one child hurls paint at another merely for laughing 'in that peculiarly aggravating way') will make children of 6+ shriek with mortified recognition. It would make an excellent, and pointed, present from any grandparent or godparent.
—The Sunday Times (UK)
Just to mention [the Hobans] brings to mind words like warm, endearing, delightful, charming.
— Jane Yolen, The New York Times Book Review
Marvelously fired to a bubbling point of irresistible laughter.
— Publishers Weekly
A long-out-of-print classic from the authors of the beloved Frances books, The Sorely Trying Dayoffers a timely antidote to stress. Try reading this aloud to the family at the end of, well, a sorely trying day.
—Los Angeles Times

Mrs. Jennifer Brummer
8th Grade Homeroom/Jr. High Science/S.S.
Welcome to the wonderful world of science! I am Mrs. Jenny Brummer, a young at heart science geek; therefore, teaching junior high science is a perfect fit for me. I have been teaching what I LOVE to students since 2000, and I have been blessed to call Our Lady of Lourdes "home" since 2010. My husband, Mark, and I were born and raised Catholic, and my husband is an alum of Saint Teresa High School. Our Catholic faith has always been very important to us. Consequently, faith-based education for our children was always a priority, and thankfully, the Lord lead us to OLOL. All four of our children are currently OLOL students, so to say that my heart and soul are in this school would be an understatement. I graduated from Illinois College in 2000, with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. While there, I also earned my middle school and science endorsements and lettered in varsity basketball all four years. The experience and training that I received and continue to receive are of chief importance; however, it was the influence of several people in my life that has really motivated me. Education has always been a priority in my life, and I have my parents, George and Jill Murphy, to thank for that. They instilled a strong work ethic in me that I never take for granted. As a toxicologist and registered nurse, they were also the first to introduce me to the world of SCIENCE. I grew up loving it! Then, there are three teachers from my past who I try to emulate on a daily basis. First, Mrs. Cowdrey, my 6th grade teacher, taught me how to be loving, caring, and nurturing. I knew that when I walked into her classroom I mattered. I hope my students realize how much they matter to me and how hard it is to let them go when they graduate. Second, Mr. Owens, my high school biology teacher, LOVED science and it was so evident. His enthusiasm for science radiated from him and he is the reason that I chose to teach science. I strive to be someone else's "Mr. Owens." Lastly, Mr. Furman, my high school English and history teacher, taught me how to set and reach high expectations. He was tough, and there was no greater satisfaction than succeeding in his classes and knowing that he was proud of my performance. Seeing pride on my students' faces when they have conquered something that they think is out of their reach is beyond compare. I try to be a sensitive, caring, and patient teacher who works well with students of various backgrounds and learning capabilities. I am dedicated to helping your child learn!

Mr. Matt Barker
8th Grade Homeroom/Jr. High Social Studies
My name is Matthew Barker, and I am the Social Studies teacher here at Our Lady of Lourdes. This is my first year teaching, and so far, it has been an exciting year. I graduated from Kentucky Christian University in Grayson, KY in May of 2016 (Go Knights), and I moved back to the Land of Lincoln over the summer. I was born in Kansas but moved to Lincoln, IL in 2002. I attended Chester-East Lincoln School during my elementary years and graduated high school as a Lincoln Community High School Railsplitter. While in high school, I had many opportunities to serve and tutor students in the area, and that is when I realized that I wanted to become a teacher. Social Studies is a subject that I always found interesting. I love learning about different cultures and seeing how it impacts our lives today. Being a Social Studies teacher also means being a Social Studies student because new things are always being discovered. I am looking forward to both teaching and at times learning alongside your student.

Jr. High Religion
My name is Melinda O'Brien. I hired in as a fourth grade teacher, but have taught in grades 3 through 8. I like fourth grade because the students are full of curiosity and energy. The curriculum is interesting in the fourth grade because it includes studying the regions of our country, learning multiplication facts (as well as learning loads of other math skills), getting to know our earth, and practicing writing for a variety of audiences. Most of all, I like helping the students know God and His love and presence in their lives.

Mrs. Tricia Shumaker
I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Art Education from Millikin University. My teaching certificate is K-12. I have held elementary teaching positions in Champaign Schools and taught Junior High at Stephen Decatur Middle School. I then stayed home with my 3 boys ( they all have attended or are still attending OLOL) I first began volunteering at Our Lady of Lourdes as a resource for Art Pals beginning in 2007 bringing lessons and supplies for parents to teach the art classes. I was then given the chance to teach all the classes when Our Lady of Lourdes dedicated a classroom to be an Art Room. I believe creativity is something that kids need in order to solve problems and think outside the box. In my classes we touch on artists to make them culturally minded but we also explore our own ideas.
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain one once we grow up." -Pablo Picasso
Students K-7 meet on a rotating basis each Thursday and 8th graders can elect to take Advanced Art as one of their electives which meets every week.

I am going for my restricted license on this monday....do i have to take any document(that pink sleep or anything).... SR-22 and enrollement is filed already.. so i just take with cash or credit card?
To be on the safe side, take any documentation you have regarding your case, though it sounds like you have taken care of everything, so you should only need cash/credit.Ask a similar question
DMV will require that you show them proof of enrollment in the class, the SR-22 and the filing fee. As the other attorney stated you should take all your paperwork to DMV.Ask a similar question
Although you believe that both your SR 22 and Proof of Enrollment are already filed, I would suggest that you bring copies of both in case there has been some oversight by the DMV.
Additionally, it must be established that yiour license has been suspended for at least 30 days.
You should have received a letter from the DMV, Notice of Suspension. Just in case there may be an issue as to when your license was suspended, I would also bring a copy of this letter as well.
Finally, you need to be able to pay for the DMV fees, be prepared to tender their fee.
Best of luck with your efforts to obtain a Restrictive License.

Dawn is Disappointing: Norwegian Dawn Cruise Review by gingi615
Overall Member Rating
Dawn is Disappointing
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
When we arrived at the port, check in was pretty smooth. There was a bit of line, that moved somewhat slowly, but once we were at the agent's desk, check-in went relatively quickly. We boarded the ship and were given our complimentary glass of champagne which was a nice touch. The last cruise we went on, we were given some very nice looking mixed drinks upon boarding, but immediately told that we had to pay for it.
We went straight to our cabin, an inside on the 10th floor. We decided to book an inside cabin to save some money since we figured we would hardly ever be in the room. As soon as I opened the door, I felt let down. The room was very small and kind More of dark. The was hardly any floor space, the bathroom was tight, and the only TV was a 13 inch "tube" TV. in an awkward spot. Over my bed was a bunk bed that was folded up and on the wall, but it left an awkward 4 inch ridge over my bed. I hit my head on it accidently a few times. The TV only had 4 or 5 commercial channels. The rest were NCL channels promoting their excursions, specialty restaurants and stores. Can you imagine a ship TV without CNN? Well this one did not have it. The room had a nice mini-bar that was well stocked which was a nice touch. Ofcourse like most hotels, the items were ridiculously priced. Our cabin steward was very nice and friendly. For the most part she did an excellent job keeping the room clean, and consequently was the only person we gave an extra tip to. However, on more than one occasion, we didn't have enough towels, and twice no bath mat. The NCL staff was terrible in supplying these items. It took hours to get the towels. We never received the bath mat. We were forced to use a beach towel as a mat once, and the other time I had to physically leave my room and go ask for one. The night before the cruise ended, I didn't have a wash cloth to use in the morning. When I called housekeeping, they claimed they would send someone up with it, but never did. The next morning, my friend had to go out in the hallway and find a cabin steward to get the wash cloth.
The freestyle dining is no good. There are only two "free" elegant restaurants, the Venetian and Aqua. These restaurants fill up quickly. Most people want to eat dinner between 6 and 7:30, so they can attend shows and other activities. Consequently it becomes almost impossible to get in the "free" dining rooms during these times. A ship staff member actually suggested that we have dinner at 5:30 or 8:30. So much for eating when you want to. If you don't have a reservation, you will be waiting for a while to get in. Some guests complained of having to wait over 45 minutes to get a table. If you tried to reserve a table you had to do it a day in advance or at 8:00 in the morning or something. The other so-called free restaurants amounted to a snack bar "Blue Lagoon", a cafeteria style buffet "Garden Cafe", and a hot dog and hamburger stand "Bimini Grill". Hardly places where you want to eat dinner. Once inside the "free" restaurants, the service was fair to poor. The waiters were slow and many times had trouble understanding you. One night our water glasses had horrible dishwasher water spots on them, which looked terrible. We waited 10 minutes before anyone took our drink order, and then another 10 minutes before the drinks arrived at the table. The waiter would take our meal order, and then come back a few minutes later and ask us again what we ordered. The menus are the same every night, no variety. One night when we did eat at 5:30. The maitre D tried to steer us to sit in a part of the restaurant that we did not want to sit in, even though the restaurant was virtually empty. If we did not insist, our preference would have been ignored. The food in the Aqua and Venetian restaurants was good but not great, but the food in the other free restaurants, was basic fast food and mediocre. I saw people walk away from whole plates of food at the Blue Lagoon, the only 24 hour restaurant, which is more like a snack bar. The specialty restaurants were very nice, if you could get a reservation, but costly. You had to pay $25.00 plus a mandatory 18% tip and whatever your drinks cost. You could see how this could easily add up. So basically you have pay to get good food and good service.
The shows were good but not spectacular. If you went to any show that was not in the main theatre, the Stardust, unless you arrived early, you would end up standing. The disco, Dazzles lounge, was a joke. A 10 x 10 dance floor in an open lounge. No feeling of being in an exciting club with lights and video screen and club atmosphere. The DJ was terrible, no variety in the music. While you sat there hoping they would play a song you would want to dance to, you were constantly hounded to buy drinks by the bar staff.
The pool area was also very disappointing. Very crowded, and the main pool had no shallow section. So basically, if you did not know how to swim or tread water, you could not use the main pool, unless you were willing to hold onto the edge of the pool. There was a 4 foot deep pool behind the stage, but it was small and isolating. I felt like I was in a kiddie pool. The hot tubs were always crowded and hard to get into. There just weren't enough of them. The beach towel service was awful. You would sign a slip for the towel, and then when you returned, they couldn't find your slip. Thankfully I was not charged for the towel. Once I put my towel on a nearby table, with no one seated there, while I used the hot tub, and someone swiped it. One of the days the ship was docked in Bermuda, by 11:00 a.m. they were out of towels. The person behind the desk was rude. I asked him if there was anywhere else on the ship I could get a beach towel, and he coldly said no. Can you imagine being in a beautiful tropical island, and not being able to get a towel to get to the beach? I finally went back to my floor and begged my cabin steward to give me the towels.
The onboard spa was nice but very pricey. For a hot stones message, after the mandatory tip, I paid almost $200. The massage room was small and not prepared properly. There was one thin sheet on top of the table. Even the sheet they gave you to drape yourself was one sheet and thin. To add insult to injury, the therapist opened the door to my room without knocking first. I felt like my privacy was violated. She suggested some products after the massage to use, but they were also ridiculously expensive. For the price of products, I could have had another massage. The most ridiculous and unfair part was that there was a fee to use the spa pool area, even if you had already paid for spa treatments. This gave you a feeling of being nickeled and dimed by NCL. Everywhere you looked on NCL, you were having to pay for petty things. It was ridiculous.
In summary, the cruise was very disappointing. You pay for your cruise, and then get on board and are confronted with all of these "hidden costs" including a $12.00 a day gratuity charge. If the service had been excellent, I would not have minded paying the gratuity. It's like bait and switch. It's a way for NCL to keep the cruise booking price artificially low to get you on the ship.
I would skip the Dawn and NCL unless they make radical changes. Less

BWW Review: Top 10 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Retellings
Since we're celebrating A Week of Beauty and the Beast all week, of COURSE I want to tell you about my ten favorite retellings!
Dive into these great novels while you count down to the new movie!
Are you ready to see what I've come up with?
In no particular order...
1) BEAUTY by Robin McKinley
This was the first retelling of B&B I'd ever read. I LOVED it. My book is literally BATTERED. I loved it so much! Robin McKinley even came out with a second retelling of the tale, ROSE DAUGHTER. I loved that one, too. Because of BEAUTY, I own every single book Robin McKinley has ever written and buy her novels as soon as they come out!
This is a very traditional retelling of the classic tale!
2) HEART'S BLOOD by Juliet Marillier
This was one of the first books I ever reviewed, and it knocked BEAUTY off as my favorite B&B retelling. I loved how "realistic" it felt. There's less emphasis on magic. The "Beast" had a palsy as a kid and it left him with a lopsided face and a non-functional right side of his body. I loved how grounded it was. This was actually my first Juliet Marillier novel, too, and a lot of people say DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST is their favorite book by her. While I love that one, too, this one is my favorite by her. IDK if it's the B&B theme or because it was "my first" or what, but it's my favorite!!!!
This is currently my favorite retelling of B&B.
3) A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES by Sarah J. Maas
I was really excited when ACOTAR was announced. I'd been enjoying the Throne of Glass series from Sarah J. Maas and was eager that she was starting a new series--and that the first book would retell one of my favorite fairy tales. I was lucky enough to receive an advance review copy, and when I finished reading the book, I literally picked it up and hugged it to my chest. I needed that connection a little longer. I couldn't let go, couldn't say good-bye. I was reluctant to give it to my then co-reviewer Kat the next day because it would no longer be closely. I've never been that emotional over a book before or needed to be so connected to it!
I read it again last year when the sequel (a retelling of my favorite Greek myth Persephone and Hades) came out, and didn't love it quite as much the second time, but figured out why after reading the sequel. I still enjoyed it a lot, though. I'm SO excited to see how the series ends in May and find out what the third retelling will be!
What I love so much about this retelling is that it's very true to the original French story even as it's wildly different. It's NOT a direct retelling. There IS no Beast. But there are so many elements from the story that are there if you know the original tale well, and it really enhances the original story being told.
This is now my second-favorite retelling of B&B. It's just so good!
4) HUNTED by Meagan Spooner
This book releases TODAY!!!! I'm really excited for you all to read this so we can talk about it. I love that, like in ACOTAR, the "Beauty" character is a hunter and takes care of her family. I like that she finds the curse, not her father. And the curse itself? OH MY GOODNESS. It's not at all what I expected, but works so well. I loved the way the story ended and the way everything twisted together. I'm going to have such a hard time reviewing it this week without spoilers, but you're definitely going to want to pick this new release up!
5) WITHERING ROSE by Kaitlyn Davis
The Once Upon a Curse series by Kaitlyn Davis is really different in that something happens to collide our world into the fairy tale world (Think of how Kansas collides into Oz in The Wizard of Oz). I love how she twists the tale of B&B and how UNIQUE it is to any other retelling I've seen. The rose with the falling petal? It's living INSIDE Omorose. Every time she uses her magic to heal or to grow, a little piece of her dies and the petals of her heart fall. It's such a cool image. And dangerous, too! I get shivers just thinking about it!
6) OF BEAST AND BEAUTY by Stacey Jay
For one thing, Beast is the female and Beauty is the male. Yet both characters are a little bit of both Beauty and Beast, and neither is just one of the roles. There's a bit of a Romeo and Juliet-esque star-crossed lovers element to their story. Oh, plus, this book is pretty sci-fi and takes place in a completely unique realm. I really loved this one and was so excited that Stacey Jay came out with another fairy tale retelling entitled PRINCESS OF THORNS!
7) THE CURSE GIRL by Kate Avery Ellison
Want a book full of atmosphere and creepy qualities that will send chills down your spine as you read?
I'm reminded of the way Jane Nickerson uses atmosphere so effectively in STRANDS OF BRONZE AND GOLD, which I've reviewed previously for FTF. If you're a fan of Nickerson, you'll appreciate Ellison as well. There's a lovely creepy chill to everything, and it sucked me into the story right away.
Another good comparison comes if you've seen the 1946 Jean Cocteau version of La Belle et la Bête (Which can often be found airing on TCM or purchased from the Criterion Collection...with English subtitles, of course!). The rooms are haunting and different from anything visual you can imagine, being an enchanted house. The rooms are just as dark and eerie in THE CURSE GIRL. There's even a room called the Hall of Regret and another called the Labyrinth. Things are constantly shifting and changing, with a mind of their own.
It's really hard to explain the atmosphere and mood well, but you'll understand once you start reading!
8) THE PRINCESS CURSE by Merrie Haskell
This is touted as being a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, and it definitely starts off that way. But then the story twists and the main character--who had been a specter, and not one of the sisters--is tossed into her own fairy tale, which is a mash-up of Beauty and the Beast and Persephone and Hades. I wasn't expecting this twist when I picked the book up, and it really endeared the story to me! The mash-up doesn't seem like it could work, but it does--really well, too!
I would love to see more books set in this world, and have bought up every book Merrie Haskell has published because I love her writing style so much!
***My Review***
9) CRUEL BEAUTY by Rosamund Hodge
I don't know where my review of CRUEL BEAUTY disappeared to, but I really loved this retelling. And I struggled with it at first, too. I started reading it and went, "Ugh, a paranormal retelling? DON'T WANT." So I put it down. Then I picked up the e-novella GILDED ASHES and began to understand the world. I decided to try CRUEL BEAUTY again, and this time I devoured it. It's dark and has little twists reminiscent of tales such as Bluebeard and Rumplestiltskin that add flavor and depth to the tale. It's so much darker than I'd anticipated and normally not my type of read AT ALL, but I wound up really loving this version of B&B!
10) BAREFOOT ON THE WIND by Zoë Marriott
When I found out that Zoë Marriott was FINALLY writing a companion novel to SHADOWS ON THE MOON, her dark Japanese retelling of Cinderella, AND that it would be based on Beauty and the Beast, I was SO EXCITED. I couldn't wait!!! I love both of these stand-alone fairy tales set in the same wonderful, magical world, and continue to love all of Marriott's fantasy novels, even though she isn't as exposed to overseas audiences, being a UK author with a small US distributor. But if you ever see her books on the shelves, be sure to pick them up because they're gorgeous!
11) UPROOTED by Naomi Novik
I guess this one is kind of a cheat....so it's a bonus #11! But I couldn't NOT add it, so.....
UPROOTED is not ***actually*** a B&B retelling. BUT when I read it, I felt it had a lot of elements in common with the tale I loved so much, and I could see it falling under the umbrella of this tale for fans looking for new stories to embrace. It's such a great instant classic, immediately reminiscent of HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE by Diana Whynne Jones and The Immortals Quartet by Tamora Pierce.
It may not BE a fairy tale, but it often feels like one. It centers aroudn Agnieszka, who is chosen by the Dragon and locked away for ten years in his tower. The Dragon normally chooses beautiful girls, but this year, he chooses plain Agnieszka, who is brimming with untapped magic...

Developmental Editing: Starting and Building Your DE Business (ONLINE)
August 7-August 28
This four-week class helps new editors start and grow their developmental editing business. Instructor Jennifer Lawler, a former acquisitions editor, has freelanced in book development for nearly twenty years with both individual and corporate clients.
While the focus of the class is on building a business to develop fiction, most of the information can be used to build a business that develops nonfiction as well (or a business that includes both fiction and nonfiction). Whether you're a new editor or an experienced pro adding developmental editing to your menu of services, this class is designed to help you gain more business and earn more money for your efforts.
Each week, new lessons will cover various topics about starting and building your business, including exercises you can do to help target your audience and develop a growth plan as well as conducting the crucial initial manuscript assessment that allows you to appropriately develop a fee quote for a prospective client. Each lesson has conversation prompts to help encourage participation on the forums, as well as an assignment (such as writing a letter of introduction) for which the instructor will give feedback. In our time together, we will devise strategies specific to your skills and talents to make your business blossom.
About the Instructor: Jennifer Lawler has worked for many years as a freelance book development editor on a wide range of editorial projects for traditional book publishers as well as independent authors—everything from cookbooks to memoir to paranormal romance to thrillers. She launched Crimson Romance for Adams Media (now Simon & Schuster), overseeing all aspects of acquisitions, editorial, and production. She has also worked as a magazine editor for MSP Custom Publishing.
She is the author or coauthor of more than forty nonfiction books and novels, including her popular and award-winning Dojo Wisdom series (Penguin). She has written a number of romances under three pen names.
She worked briefly as a literary agent and has taught in the biomedical writing program at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, the copyediting program at the Univeristy of California–San Diego, and for the well-respected Loft Literary program in Minneapolis.
She earned her PhD in medieval English literature from the University of Kansas and a black belt in Taekwondo at approximately the same time. She hasn't quite decided which has been more helpful in her career.

S-Corp, LLC, Sole Proprietor? What's the Right Business Entity for Your Freelance Business? (WEBINAR RECORDING)
Recording--Any time
Freelancers need to make plenty of complex decisions about how to organize their business. One important decision is whether to operate as a sole proprietor or form a legal entity, such as a limited liability company, to house the new business. Legal entities can shelter personal assets against lawsuits arising from a business, but they also come with additional costs. The goal of this webinar is to provide freelancers with a firm basis for making the right decision in this sometimes confusing and always technical arena.
This webinar will cover the most common business types for freelancers (sole proprietorship, limited liability company, S corporation). We'll discuss the basic structure of each business form, the mechanics of their formation and maintenance (with examples), and the potential costs. The webinar will also address the kinds of legal risks that freelancers face and how forming a business entity can help manage those risks. There will be ample opportunity for questions.

A Primer on Academic Editing (WEBINAR RECORDING)
Recording--Any time
Many opportunities exist to work with academic writers and publications, but editors who lack multiple advanced degrees sometimes hesitate, wondering if they have anything to offer a scholarly writer. Or they may shy away because they find academic writing exasperating and mystifying. This webinar recording provides insight into the world of academic writing and writers and offers up a few tricks to help editors tackle scholarly work with confidence.
The webinar recording addresses:
- How is academic writing/editing different from other types of writing/editing?
- Why do academics write the way they do?
- What should editors do when working with academic materials?
- What should editors NOT do?
- What should you know to get started?
- Where can you look for academic editing work?
Presenter Tammy Ditmore, of eDitmore Editorial Services, successfully transitioned from editing for daily newspapers to proofreading articles for scholarly journals without spending a minute in grad school. Much of her work in the past two decades has been with academic writers and publishers, including Sage Publications, Baylor University Press, and Pepperdine University. In addition, Tammy's English-professor husband provides her up-close and personal glimpses into the often-mysterious workings of an academic mind. More information about Tammy and her work is available on her website at http://www.editmore.com.

Editing With Inclusive Language (WEBINAR RECORDING)
Recording--Any time
Editors are an author's first line of defense against political gaffes, insensitive language, and inadvertently exclusive language. How can we help our clients reach a broader audience and avoid losing readers or making embarrassing and offensive errors? Using examples ranging from transgender pronouns to the Israel-Palestine conflict, Sarah Grey will help attendees gain a better sense of what to look for, how to educate themselves about the vocabulary of sensitive topics, and how to communicate with authors about these questions in tactful and constructive ways.

Medical Editing 101: An Introduction (RECORDING of 3 SESSION)
Recording--Any time
This 3-part webinar series introduces experienced editors to the world of medical editing.
LEVEL: Advanced
Week 1: Overview of Medical Editing
What is medical editing? Basically, it's the same type of editing most of us do, only the work is focused specifically on health-, science-, and medical-related content. Fellow EFA members Katharine O'Moore-Klopf and Julie Munden, who specialize in medical editing, will introduce you to this niche type of editing most often referred to as medical/technical editing. What skills does one need to edit medical/technical copy? How does it differ from nonmedical/nontechnical copy editing? Where can one learn more about this skillset? Who employs freelance medical editors? These questions (along with many others) will be explored in this 3-week webinar series.
Week 2: Editing Journal Articles and Working With ESL Authors
The publish-or-perish mandate has spread around the world, making it highly likely that editors in the scholarly and technical arenas will edit for authors who are ESL (English as a second language) authors, also called non-native English speakers. This is rewarding but intense work requiring special preparation. You must know the writing and cultural issues to watch for and how to deal with them. In addition, you must know how to build solid working relationships with these authors to keep them coming back with more projects. In this session for experienced editors new to working with ESL authors, veteran medical editor Katharine O'Moore-Klopf will share her editing tips and her relationship-building secrets with you. You will also be given access to a handout with plenty of links to articles, blog posts, and books on working with these authors. This webinar covers much of the material that Katharine addressed in her presentation at the national EFA conference in 2016, so if you weren't able to attend the conference, this is your second chance.
Week 3: Editing Promotional & Nonpromotional Medical Materials
Within the world of medical editing there exists another niche-type of editing that is called promotional/nonpromotional medical editing. Everyone has seen or read the ads for a new drug with its long list of side effects, some of them alarming, along with the familiar prompt to "talk with your doctor." Those ads are called pharmaceutical consumer health care advertisements, otherwise known as promotional material, which encounter a multistep, internal, and rigorous journey through a process called promotional review before they are ultimately submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration for final approval and dissemination to the public. These ads are an example of only one of the several hundred pieces that accompany a drug's promotion, which also includes marketing, education, and sales training material. And all of them require a certain medical "eye" that only a medical editor can apply. In this webinar, you will learn from seasoned medical editor Julie Munden about the different types of promotional and nonpromotional medical materials that exist, how to edit these materials, what to look for and correct so that these materials will pass the scrutiny applied by the in-house pharma Medical, Regulatory, & Legal reviewers (otherwise known as MRL, LMR, PRC, RC, MAC, & MAP, to name a few), and how to hone and advance your medical editing skills with the changing health care landscape.
Julie Munden is a medical editor with over 20 years of diverse experience in the pharmaceutical sales & marketing and medical communications industries. She has been a freelancer for 14 years. Julie's more recent experience includes editing pharmaceutical sales & marketing training material, including product and company websites, eLearning and interactive media, and medical journal articles for medical communications agencies, also known as MedComms. She specializes in critically reviewing promotional & nonpromotional pharmaceutical deliverables that involves fact-checking, annotating, highlighting references, reference binder management, and uploading these deliverables into clients' electronic management systems, such as VEEVA Vault, Zinc, and Aprimo. Julie's in-house pharmaceutical industry experience includes work for Aventis Pharmaceuticals and Wyeth (now Pfizer) as an editor and copywriter in the Sales & Marketing/Promotion & Review Divisions. Her current client base includes boutique and international MedComms who partner with Merck, Genentech, Amgen, Astellas, Johnson & Johnson, and Bristol-Meyers Squibb, to name a few.

"I know I'm in a profession I love when I'm so excited about some aspect of it that this is all I can talk about over pre-dinner cocktails with friends. (And yes, they pretended to be as excited, well, at least for a few minutes). Why am I so thrilled? This class! I've been intimidated to use wildcards and macros since the first day I learned those words.after Adrienne's lessons, I attempted the Polo Bear macro, and much to my happiness, after typing in my own troublesome words, bam! It worked on a client's project. Then I wrote my own little macro to do some file clean up. It worked, too. Yippee! And then, oh my gosh, I tried that little trick of replacing "xx" in autocorrect with an oft typed author query. That one alone must have saved me half an hour today."

A virgin Michelada, or not so bloody mary. This is a spicy tomato based mocktail with bold flavors, and a fun kick perfect for hot, sultry, climates, or eating alfresco with friends! It uses Clamata. I was surprised that Clamato and so many other great flavor drinks are a part of the Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Who knew?
As you probably know by now, I am not an alcohol drinker, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the refreshing nature of a cocktail. I just prefer to make a mocktail out of it, so I can get all the flavor and half the fun. Hahaha, just kidding. But in all seriousness, I love the idea of big, refreshing drinks, topped with fun ingredients, and enjoyed with family or friends. One drink I have been meaning to make for a while now is a (Not So) Bloody Mary. I love tomato juice, and love all the fun toppers that go into this popular drink!
Well, it just so happens that National Michelada Day is coming up on July 12th so I figured it was high time I make a virgin version of Michelada.It is like a Bloody Mary that uses beer instead of vodka. But since my version is alcohol free, it could technically be a virgin version of either.
Michelada made its first appearance in Mexicali at the "Bar los V-tarros". The story goes that Mr. Camacho, the owner of "Bar los V-tarros," wanted an antidote to the hot climate, and he and his good friend created the now very popular Michelada, a mix of Clamato® with beer, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lime, and pepper. Since then popularity of the drink has spread, and now we even have a day to celebrate it.
So let's celebrate with a family friendly Michelada! The key to this drink is the Clamato® juice. It is made with tomato juice and a blend of spices that livens the senses, and was created in California back in 1969. It is still awesome today, and even more fun with extra cool glass garnish. You could probably garnish with whatever you want, I loved the way these garnishes looked, but they were also the perfect flavors to compliment the spicy tomato juice mocktail!
What is your favorite cup garnish? Bacon? Lime? Pickled veggies? The world is your oyster!
Celebrate National Michelada Day by making your own! Check out http://www.clamato.com/en/drinks for more recipe ideas, and http://www.clamato.com/en/about for more information on Clamato®. Clamato is part of the Dr Pepper Snapple Group, a leading producer of flavored beverages in North America and the Caribbean. They have 6 of the top 10 non-cola soft drinks, and a portfolio that includes 7UP, A&W, Canada Dry, Clamato, Crush, Hawaiian Punch, Mott's, Mr & Mrs T mixers, Peñafiel, Rose's, Schweppes, Squirt and Sunkist soda.

Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis, including that of the demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, the concentration camp outside Krakow. Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, a man named Oskar Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson's life, and the lives of his mother, his father, and two of his four siblings, by adding their names to his list of workers in his factory - a list that became world renowned: Schindler's List .
This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler's List child, perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Most notable is the lack of rancour, the lack of venom, and the abundance of dignity in Mr Leyson's telling. The Boy on the Wooden Box is a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything you've ever read.
About the Author
Dr. Marilyn J. Harran is the author of The Holocuast Chronicle: A History in Words and Pictures, which has sold more than 250,000 copies. She holds the Stern Chair in Holocaust Education at Chapman University, where she is also the founding director of the Rodgers Center for Holocaust Education. Dr. Harran is a 2008 recipient of the Spirit of Anne Frank Award and a member of the board of the Association of Holocaust Organizations. She lives in Orange, California.
Leon Leyson was one of the youngest members of Schindler's List. He brings a unique perspective to the history of the Holocaust and a powerful message of courage and humanity. Believing that no one would be interested in his story, he rarely spoke about his experiences until the film Schindler's List received worldwide attention.
A graduate of Los Angeles City College; California State University, Los Angeles; and Pepperdine University, he taught at Huntington Park High School in Huntington Park, California, for thirty-nine years. In recognition of his many accomplishments as educator and witness to the Holocaust, Mr Leyson was awarded an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Chapman University.
Mr Leyson passed away in January 2013, leaving behind his wife, Lis; their two children; and six grandchildren.
