Reaffirming my previous post, I remind you that Debian is better integrated from the start than CentOS. Not bug-free, but fewer problems. Naturally I'm running my preferred desktop environment, XFCE. It lacks some of the bells and whistles, but it's far more comfortable and less troublesome.
As part of one of my lessons today I was running some system checks on an XTerm (virtual console). At one point I issued the command
dmesg — basically the informative stuff about how the OS is wading through discovery of the hardware, followed by standard system alerts in time sequence. Among those alerts is firewall stuff (UFW): I noticed the firewall was blocking some unusual activity. Of course, it made reference to IPV6, which has a totally different IP address format. So I had to look up first what were the reserved network addresses in IPV6, and sure enough the problem was something on my system trying to get out past the firewall every few minutes.
[UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:021e:c9ff:fe29:2927 DST=ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 LEN=64 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=1 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=UDP SPT=8612 DPT=8612 LEN=2
The "SRC" is the source of the activity and that turns out to be the same thing as 127.0.0.1 in IPV4 (the address for localhost, the machine on which you are working). The "DST" part is the reserved code for a form of open broadcast. In effect, my machine was asking if anybody on the LAN had a certain thing. The ports (SPT and DPT) were 8612, a telltale number used by Canon printers. But this wasn't some activity coming from the printer spool (AKA "CUPS" in Linux). So I kept searching until I found references to "Pixma" — a product line from Canon. It almost had to do with some kind of Pixma driver somewhere. Eventually I discovered this was activity from the SANE service on my computer, the Linux implementation of scanner drivers; lots of Canon Pixma devices are "all-in-one" printer, fax and scanner. So all this time I was getting a sort of ping signal from the SANE service looking for any Canon Pixma machines on the network.
I have no intention of using such a thing and don't own a Canon printer. So I killed the SANE service:
systemctl stop saned.service
systemctl disable saned.service
Oh, and just to make sure, I edited
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf to turn off the network searching function. The first line after all the explanation at the top of the file is "net" and I just commented it out so:
#net. No more firewall pings on that port. Naturally this triggered a scripted complaint that I was violating some LSB standard (Linux Standard Base) — big whoop-de-doo.
One small victory on the way to figuring out this stuff.
Update: That didn't work. Can't learn anything if I don't fail sometimes. It was a good thing to shut down the SANE service because I have no intention of using it, but that didn't stop the pings. A couple of hours later they came again. More research. I stopped a service called "cups-browse" and that seems to have worked:
systemctl stop cups-browsed.service
systemctl disable cups-browsed.service
Since the firewall activity shows it's periodic over the day, I'll have to check again in the morning. I can't just shut down CUPS itself because I do print to PDF regularly from my browser. It's the best way to save documents without wasting paper.
Update 2: 24 hours later and not a peep from my firewall. Killing cups-browse (recently deprecated in CUPS development) will stop the LAN noise on port 8612.

2016 started out with some uncertainty for me. I was in my third year of teaching and really considering looking for a job that was closer to home and in my own community. I had been commuting 45 minutes to work for 3 years and with wanting to start a family in the next few years, I knew I needed to make a change. I'll admit, I was SO nervous about many different things involved in getting a new job. The preparation (and for anyone who has ever applied for a teaching job, you know the amount of work that goes in to preparing your application), the interview process, leaving a school I came to know and love, starting all over again, leaving my amazing teaching team that had become my family, etc. After talking with many encouraging people (Michele, Amy, Emily, Lesley, Shana, Jen- thank you all for your help and support) I took the plunge and applied for two different teaching jobs closer to home.
Within a month, I received a call. A few months and three interviews later, I was offered a job as a Second Grade Teacher. After that last interview, I remember feeling like all of my worries and fears had diminished. I knew I would be joining a great team, in a great school district, and in a community that I grew up in.
The Summer of 2016 was an unforgettable one. We traveled to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for our first family vacation with my husband's side of the family. This is one experience I will never forget. Let's just say what you see on the internet is not always what you get and we learned that real quick with our beach house...
Upon pulling up to the house we noticed that the house was already going to be a complete disaster. There was a trash bag on the porch, beer cans all around the patio, missing pieces of siding, and that was only the outside. After having to kick the front door to open it, we walked into a complete mess. Clogged sinks and toilets, hair caked to the floor, stained furniture, beer cans, unmade beds, dirty floors, more beer cans, I could seriously go on and on. I am not very picky when it comes to staying overnight somewhere and this place did look immaculate online. However, in person, this house was disgusting.
After the sweet housekeepers arrived, we found out that the house we were placed in was considered the "party house". The house that "no matter how much this house is cleaned, it will never be clean." Yeah... that was our breaking point. A few phone calls later (and a few threats to take our money back and leave) we were placed in a GORGEOUS 6 bedroom, private pool, ocean front home. It's funny now when we look back at the experience. But I think God had a plan and we have him to thank for leading us to a beautiful home where we could actually enjoy the week as a family.
I also had my first experience with visiting a few of the New England states as we traveled to New Hampshire to visit my Aunt Ginger, Uncle Joe, and cousin, John. This was another experience that I will never forget. We had such a carefree week enjoying time together as family. We traveled to Mount Washington, visited the crystal clear waters of Salisburry Beach in Massachusetts, explored the cute town of Barrington, New Hampshire, and best of all, enjoyed time as a family at my Aunt and Uncle's beautiful home. We enjoyed every meal outside on the patio and ended the night by the fire eating leftovers and s'mores!
Another exciting part of 2016 was that my husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. I feel like I say this all the time, but God truly blessed me with a great man. We challenge each other every day and he may roll his eyes when I mention starting a new project (we are currently doing a shiplap wall in our bedroom and I swear he wants to kill me). But, one thing is for sure, the love we have for each other is truly one of a kind. I can't wait to see what 2017 has in store for us my love! <3
And finally, at the end of 2016 I started this little blog. As you know, starting this blog was not an easy thing for me. I worried too much about the "what ifs" and judgement. But, this little blog has given me so much. I have learned to rely more on faith to guide me rather than my own worries and concerns. I have learned sometimes you have to struggle to find your peace. This blog has become my creative outlet and I am so thankful that I found it. It has helped me find that balance and peace in my life that I so desperately needed. I am so excited for what is to come of this blog in 2017!
I want to challenge you to find that outlet that helps YOU find peace. Whether it be journaling, drawing, crafting, exercising, singing, selling/doing make-up or skincare, etc. Find it and hold on to it. Don't let fear or judgement hold you back. Finding balance and peace was my goal for the end of 2016 and you can bet that it will be my goal for 2017 as well.
I hope 2016 left you with many great memories and I hope 2017 blesses you with many new ones!

|HOME » online historical archives » underground railroad »
We're most frequently asked for information about the underground railroad.
Since this was an illegal activity, nothing was written down at the time and we rely heavily on hearsay and tales passed down by "old timers". There are quite a few old tales.
"Father" William Bradford Dodge, the local minister at the time, was a fervid anti-slavery activist. His involvement in anti-slavery activities did quite a lot to establish Millburn as a part of the underground railroad. Father Dodge was elected president of the Lake County Liberty Association in March, 1846. This group was established to sway public opinion about slavery.
One of the means for changing public opinion was to have lectures, such as this one in 1854, by Dr. R. L. Cooper.
Rev. Dodge also wrote letters to the editors of newspapers, such as this one in January, 1866.
Many visitors to Millburn ask which buildings in town were used to shelter slaves. We have to answer honestly that we don't know. We suspect that "Father" Dodge may have been the best person to ask.
Beatrice Anderson pulled most of the local information together in her scrapbook.
We also have a lengthy article about the Underground Railroad in general.
Barbara Apple, Waukegan News-Sun Librarian, wrote a newspaper article about the underground railroad in 1981.

Doing business online is one of your best options to raise extra income. Success is governed by two main factors, visitor traffic and sales conversions. How many of the right people can you attract to your site, and how many of those people can you persuade to take a given action? There's no rent to pay when starting a business online, unless you count yearly domain name registration and monthly website hosting, both of which are minor. Basically, you need to register a domain name describing the type of business you want to start, and then build the website using a template in HTML, adding a database and programming routines as needed.
Just making a website isn't enough, if no-one can find it on Google, Yahoo, Bing, or Baidu, which collectively account for 94% of all searches. You'll then need online marketing skills, and the ability to drive conversions. To get valid incoming links, write some more articles, and submit to article hubs, or post on Facebook and Google Sites, with 3 to 4 links on each page that deep-link to your own website pages, not just to your homepage. Beyond major requirements within the accounting department, you may consider William Penn College MCAT test scores as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

ATHENS, OH --December 2, 2008-- LibLime, the leader in open-source solutions for libraries announced today that the Plano Independent School District (ISD) in Plano, Texas has selected a Koha ZOOM appliance solution for their next integrated library system.
Encompassing 68 schools, Plano ISD is nationally recognized for its education excellence. Twenty-four Plano schools have captured the prestigious National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence honor, awarded by the U.S. Department of Education. Several Plano ISD schools have received the honor twice.
Plano ISD has selected LibLime as their partner for support and training of their Koha library system. In addition, LibLime is responsible for the data migration of their current collection of over 1 million items.
"We planned to upgrade or replace our current library automation system during the 2008-09 school year due to its announced end of life in terms of future enhancements." says David Schuster, Library Technology Coordinator for the school district. " After evaluating existing proprietary library systems along with a variety of open-source options, Koha ZOOM became the obvious choice due to its flexibility and promise of long-term development and support," says Learning Media Services Director Diane Lutz.
LibLime became a key component in the Plano ISD decision due to its proven ability to add specific functionality to the Koha application and its willingness to work closely with the district in developing identified enhancements.
Many developers contribute to the improvement of the Koha ZOOM open-source code, so Plano ISD is confident that issues will be resolved and changes made quicker and more efficiently than with proprietary counterparts.
"The decision to seek out a web- based, open-source automation system was in line with our district's desire to use open-source whenever available," stated Mary Hewett, the district's Executive Director for Instructional Technology.
About Plano Independent School District
Plano ISD (http://www.pisd.edu) serves the residents of approximately 100 square miles in southwest Collin County. This area includes the City of Plano, northern portions of cities of Dallas and Richardson, the city of Parker and parts of Allen and Murphy.
Plano schools have been the recipient of several state and national honors, including the National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence honor, awarded by the U.S. Department of Education. Plano ISD recently received outstanding scores on the 2008 accountability ratings report given by The Texas Education Agency, scoring "exemplary" on 18 out of 25 academic indicators.
The school district's website and online instructional center have captured several top state and national awards for innovation in design and user-friendliness.
Plano ISD has also pioneered "University Ready", collection of online tools and resources designed to engage students (prek-12) and parents in preparing for post-secondary education.
About Koha ZOOM
Koha ZOOM is the next-generation release of the award-winning Koha open-source integrated library system. Notably, it includes a powerful search engine based on Zebra, a high-performance indexing and retrieval engine. Koha ZOOM's search engine can read structured records in practically any input format (e.g., email, XML, MARC) and allows access to them through exact boolean search expressions and relevance-ranked free-text queries. It supports large databases (more than ten gigabytes of data, tens of millions of records) as well as incremental, safe database updates on live systems.
About LibLime
LibLime is the global leader in open-source solutions for libraries, with a mission to make open source accessible to libraries. Rather than sell software licenses for static, hard-to-customize software products, LibLime educates libraries about the benefits of open source, enabling them to make choices about how best to provide their communities and staff with better technology services. LibLime then facilitates implementation of open-source in libraries by providing outstanding development, customization, support and training solutions--solutions tailored to each library's needs.

We find that firms are more likely to split their stock if their peer firms have recently done so. The effect is comparable to an increase of 40-50% in the share price. Splitting probability is also increasing in the announcement returns of peer splits. These results are consistent with social learning from peers' actions and outcomes. The unique features of the setting and various further tests render alternative explanations unlikely. We find no clear benefit in following successful peer splitters. Firms are sometimes suspected to succumb to imitation, and the effect we document may be a case in point.

sports app is easiest way for athletes to get info they need to win
Thursday, December 12, 2013

Ohio City
When remodeling a kitchen, people usually rely on friends for advice on contractors and architects. Brides use websites and friends as resources when planning their wedding. Entrepreneurs Brian Verne and Mike Eppich figured: Why not create a place where athletes can get advice on apparel?
So Verne and Eppich created
, a mobile app where athletes can brag about the apparel and equipment they use to train. "Influences have a place," says Verne. "Athletes are concerned with how they look and the products they are using."
Phenom is designed to give amateur athletes a leg up on the decisions they make.
"Phenom connects athletes with the best gear, equipment and training opportunities based on what their peers are using right now," says Verne. "From buying a new product to vetting a trainer, camp or combine, Phenom will become the easiest way for athletes to get the inspiration, advice, product information and professional reviews they need to win."
Verne describes Phenom as "an app to promote your style and your hustle." Users create a digital profile in a virtual locker to share what they like and are using. "The virtual locker has information on how they're using that stuff, where they're using it and how they're training and competing," explains Verne.
After first starting a successful performance apparel company, Verne and Eppich decided they needed to expand their vision. "We wanted an app that had a heartbeat, to capture things in real time – people getting ready to train and wanting to compare equipment," says Eppich. "The whole idea is to see an athlete's day or athletic career in every single segment, from the training they do to their post-workout after the game."
Verne and Eppich have seven part-time employees in New York, a vice president of finance in Boston and are planning on hiring two to three full time developers in their Cleveland headquarters. On January 7, the two will head to New York to pitch Phenom to investors in First Growth Venture Network's SecondGrowth.
To build awareness of the app, Phenom recently hosted an open house during a soft launch at their downtown Cleveland offices.

I am taking a blog hiatus. This is an encore presentation of a previous post.
If you've been studying the craft of writing for long, you've heard all the "rules." You know that you're supposed to show not tell, use active not passive verbs, eschew adverbs, maintain consistent POVs, avoid repetition, and all the rest.
But it's easy to get too caught up in the rules and get frustrated at trying so hard to follow them that you find your creativity stunted. In addition, some writers are actively resentful about the rules, feeling like the Writing Establishment is trying to keep everyone in a little box and not allow writers' artistic visions to shine through. I want to share a few thoughts about writing rules.
1. They're not meant to be slavishly followed.
They're meant to be thoughtfully considered and used when appropriate.
2. The time to apply "writing rules" is usually not in your first draft.
That's when creativity reigns. Only think about the rules in your revision process. Writing is more a creative, right-brain process. Editing and applying rules is more a left-brain process. Try not to get your brain too confused by doing both at once.
3. Writing is not ABOUT the rules.
The rules are just TOOLS to help you write effectively. The goal in writing is to engage your reader, draw them in, make them want to keep turning the pages, whether you're telling them a story or giving them information. So writing rules are simply the means of helping you do that.
The only time "rules" ever come into play is when you or your editor recognizes that something's not working. Maybe the book is getting boring, the characters don't feel believable, the arguments in your nonfiction work are falling flat, the reader isn't engaged. It's pretty easy to identify what's wrong. However, figuring out how to fix it—that's where the rules come in. Rules are a means of identifying how to fix a problem so that the reader remains engaged.
The only reason to maintain consistent and strong POVs is to keep your reader deeply involved with your characters. The reason to show not tell is to keep your reader's imagination active, keep your story alive and visual in their mind. Each of the rules serves a purpose – it's a tool to help you create a written work that others want to read.
So whenever you get frustrated by the rules, or can't figure out why or if you should follow a rule or break it, go back to the reasons behind the rules and ask yourself: Does following this rule strengthen my work? Can adhering to a rule make my manuscript more readable and enjoyable? Do I know enough about the reasons for the rules to effectively break them?
By going back to the purpose of writing rules, you can save yourself frustration, and focus instead on the goal: powerful and engaging writing that people want to read.
What's your opinion of "writing rules"? Do you find them challenging, helpful, frustrating? How do you decide when to break them?[ Next Post → ] [ ← Previous Post ]
This post is timely for me and I am grateful you ran it again. I needed to be reminded not to get too bogged down with the rules. I happen to love studying the craft of writing. For me, it's like a puzzle. As I pour over book after book, I am able to put the pieces together.
Still, there has to be a point where I put the books down and write freely, without the expectation of getting it right the first time; it's not going to happen.
I'm confident I've spent more than enough time studying the craft of writing.
Thanks again for this wonderful reminder!
I am more of an instinctive writer than someone who goes by the rules, but as I've developed my writing style over several years, I've noticed something interesting. If you really pay attention to what sounds good and reads well, you stumble across the rules by accident. Especially with adverbs and passive voice, as you revise and edit your writing, you realize how both those things weaken the style and they start coming out. At least that's been my experience! However, I still cling to occasional adverbs when I feel they're absolutely necessary – rules aren't a writer's god, after all.
I think a lot of new writers get very attached to rules because a formula seems easier to follow. I know I was. I still run into people who are like "a good character must NEVER have this trait!" and I roll my eyes.
I think there are too many writers who trot out rules and act like you have to follow them to the letter or else. I have a book I'm working on in omniscient viewpoint. When I decided to go that route, it was after I tried third and first, neither of which was right for the story. I did recognize that omni was more difficult to write so I did a lot of research to learn how. Posted the a chapter for critique to see if I was on the right track, and I had like ten writers trot out the rules, "Don't use omni" (which is unfortunately a rule listed in many craft books). The most appalling thing that was that they jumped all over me and were very insistent that I could not use omni because of that rule. No one actually critiqued the writing. Since then, I've met several other writers who've asked for omni critiques and have been treated the same way.
You know I have been telling Tom Wolfe about the exclamation point rule for years. If he would just stop using them so much and follow the 'rules' I am sure he would publish more books. I could go on forever but that it just one author who immediately came to mind.
Our language rules are constantly changing as are the criteria for what is publishable. The king of rules today is a simple punctuation mark that every publisher looks for buried deep within your prose, $$$
What is this word, "Rules?" Can someone explain? I know it not. Perfection comes naturally….
Oh, wait. Are we talking about Planet Fiction where I am Queen of all the Wild Things and where music plays wherever I go and flowers spring up wherever my foot treads? Or are we talking about the real world in which I live? Rules. Oh yeah. I remember now. Grrrrrr.
I find writing rules to be helpful. After you clear out all those extra, unnecessary words, remove those adverbs, show don't tell…the story just seems to come together nicely! Great advice about not applying rules on your first draft!
Really good points. I recently edited my first pages according to as many rules as I could gather — all you posted above plus information gleaned from author bloggers etc. One of my critique partners highlighted phrases in my pages with comments like "odd phrasing" "stilted" etc. And she was right! I'd tried so hard to fit the rules that some of my writing lost its flavor and didn't read smoothly. I had to step back and remember sometimes the best way to say something is the most direct, even if means using "that" or "was" or some kind of writing no-no.
Timely post as, like Stephanie, I have been editing my MS and trying to apply ALL the rules that I could find in books, on blogs etc but I finally decided that I was getting too pedantic. In my determination to abide by the rules I was losing my voice and killing the novel. But I realise that there are many places where knowing the rules has helped remove the poor sections. Thanks for all the comments too.
Rules need to be there, like like jackets, chocolate and Diet Coke.
Terrible writing is obvious, but really good writing flows in such a manner that one never notices that the rules have been broken.
That because you follwed your theory (right Cherry?) and the words fell into the just the right places.
*liFe jackets…hahahaha! Here we are discussing rules and I can't spell. This is what one gets on Day Three of a "one day trip home".
Good point, Jennifer. There's something skeletal about a book written with rigid rules, particularly in the dialog.
One of the things I look for when making revisions is the intention of what was written. Is a particular phrase or scene intended to convey something necessary to the story, to impress the reader with flowery description, or maybe as a filler to give length to a short, but necessary chapter? While looking at these questions I can spot where rules were broken, and whether or not the broken rule is a good thing often depends on whether or not it was broken just to be broken, because it doesn't only stand out – it lurches out and vomits in my lap.
Repetition was mentioned, and I find it to be a very useful tool, rather than something to always be avoided.
I find writing to be always compatible with my life, not something I need to balance. 'Nothing is set in stone' in my life; nor is it in my writing.
Rachelle, I very much like your approach of not worrying about the rules until the second draft.
For me, that also helps in understanding the purpose of the rules.
First draft is me getting my thoughts on paper, and figuring out what direction I'm going.
Second draft is all about putting myself in the position of the reader, and trying to improve communication.
Thanks for sharing!
Again, as an artist I am compelled to say, "Rules were meant to be broken". Twentieth century art would have been blase if Picasso hadn't broken some rules.
Thank you for a well written piece of information. The only thing keeping from mastering the art of creative nonfiction is I can't find enough rules to worry about. Good Job.
As one who has been writing for a relatively short time compared to most here, I am thankful for the rules.
In my first draft of my ms, I opted to not worry about applying them, in the interest of getting the story down on paper (or the screen).
As I work through revisions, I'm looking at where I "broke" the rules and fixing those places. My challenge is to find the balance of knowing when rules should dictate, and when rules should suggest how to improve my writing. My hope is that, as I learn how to best apply the rules, I will be able to see when it's okay to "break the rules with panache," as Ane Mulligan said above.
I love how easy it is to check for adverbs with word processing. Doing a search for "ly" and "just" takes me through the MS in no time.
I have to search for "very" very often. I overuse it very much.
Stephen, I just love to use that word, "just." Maybe I overuse "Maybe" a little bit too. 🙂
Me too. That Find/Search feature is the best. 🙂 You caught mine, eh? 🙂
As a budding musician, I found theory to be dull, dry and confining – until I realized that music theory was no more than an explanation of what our ears hear and like to hear.
I have a way with music. I can play by ear, but I am no uber gifted Mozart or Bach. When I play by ear or accompany, I have to go back and fix the awkward parts by referencing music theory.
As a writer, I have a way with words, they sometimes gush faster than I can type – but, I don't have a way with punctuation or spelling – so I frequently have to refer to the rules or a dictionary.
"the rules come into play when you or your editor realize something is not working" – is an application of the rules I can live with- or should that be; is an application of rules with which I can live?
I believe it was Winston Churchhill who said–
The rule about not ending a sentence with a preposition is one up with which I shall not put.
I took four semester of theory. The first three taught us the rules and the last one told us to break them. 🙂
I've always espoused learn the guidelines or rules. THen you'll know when to break them with panache. But if you don't know them … how can you be sure your work sings?
Again, I love your balanced approach to the business. I have benefitted greatly from critique partners who have insisted I follow rules. My writing is definitely much better for it. However, I do have places in my manuscript where the reader is supposed to feel the action like an out-of-body experience, and things are being done to her. Thus, I use some passive voice and, dare I say it, floating body parts.
I like the rules, have a little love affair with them. But they stunt me. I love the idea of keeping them out of the first draft, but can I shut off my analytical mind? It's so loud!
In times like this, you go with the flow of the day. One chapter is free and unencumbered in the draft; the next is ferreted out to a fault and so on.
I'm not sure who came up with the adverb rule that other commenters are referring to, but I first heard about it in Stephen King's book On Writing. It made an awful lot of sense when I read it, so I went over to my bookshelf and pulled out one of his books. Flipped it open to a random page, and zowie! There was an adverb.
Currently I'm working my way through Mark Twain's Roughing It. While it's a fun story, I keep thinking it would be so much better if he followed the rules on punctuation and on the whole "not only…but also" structure. What an amateur. I bet he was self-published.
Twain used CreateSpace, if I recall.
I thought Twain was a Lulu guy. I'd Google it, but as Abraham Lincoln so eloquently (yikes, an adverb!) quoted, you can't believe everything you read on the Internet.
Thank. You.
This post "was" so freeing! Ever since learning the rules, I found myself editing as I wrote, rethinking each sentence so much so that they started sounding choppy. Ugh.
Now I know. Write first, then edit.
Got it. Bless you.
sometimes breaking them is half the fun
To help you be a better a writer, here are the best "rules" ever said about writing to keep things in proper perspective. These quotes — "quotations" for the purists — come from a book that I put together called "Life's Ludicrous Handbook".
As far as I'm concerned, "whom" is a word that was invented to make everyone sound like a butler.
— Calvin Trillin
At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammar and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.
— Elizabeth Barrett Browning
This is the sort of English up with which I will not put.
— Winston Churchill
George Moore wrote brilliant English until he discovered grammar.
— Oscar Wilde
Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
What the devil to do with the sentence "Who the devil does he think he's fooling?" You can't write "Whom the devil- "
— Paul Goodman
A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the other one.
— Baltasar Gracián
When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs . . . I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb's bleat.
— Henry David Thoreau
When I was teaching (engineering) I made a special point to use grammatically correct English, including the dreaded 'whom'.
The students liked it and tried to imitate me, while some of my colleagues thought me snobbish, and mocked my grammar as an affectation.
Funny that you would say that.
When I was taking my Engineering degree so many years ago, I failed English three years in a row. The Associate Dean wouldn't let me into fourth year Engineering unless I took English in summer school.
How does that old saying go? Something like:
"Four years ago I couldn't spell Engineering. Now I are one!"
Another saying from way back:
"Stick around kid. I will learn you a lot."
Here are four authors, much more successful than me, who also failed
Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent and The Burden of Proof, failed English in his freshman year at New Trier High School. Nevertheless, he eventually attended Amherst College, earned a law degree at Harvard and became a bestselling author.
Although not an author in the strictest sense of the word, "Peanuts" cartoonist Charles Schultz, not only failed English at Central High School in St. Paul, Minnesota, he failed algebra, Latin, and physics. Schultz's cartoons were turned down by the school's yearbook staff.
Moreover, after taking a cartoon drawing course by correspondence, Schultz's job application for a cartoonist's position at Walt Disney studios was rejected.
Brilliant British playwright Noel Coward, creator of worldly comedies such as Hay Fever, Private Lives, and Blithe Spirit, never graduated from grammar school.
American writer Leon Uris, bestselling author of historical novels including Exodus, Battle Cry, and Trinity, failed English three times at Philadelphia's John Bartram High School.
So what does this all mean?
Leon Uris summed it up quite adequately when he declared, "English and writing have little to do with each other."
One can feel so indignant when that happens.
Did you use sentences like "For whom is Diet Coke an actual meal?" when pondering the entire menu at Cracker Barrel?
Great quotes. I particularly like WC's.
I needed this right now! I am halfway through my first round of revisions and finally came to a realization tonight. I use a lot more passive voice when my character is a princess (She can travel between two worlds), and the difference is helping tell my story. It takes her some time, but she is realizing that life as a princess is passive; everything happens to her, and she is not in control of her life. In this case, breaking the rules is not only acceptable, but nearly necessary.
It feels good to know that I don't have to force these passages into active voice!
Using PV as a storytelling device is an interesting idea, but like the use of dialect, it can get old, and make those sections of the book drag.
A possible remedy might be introducing those sections in PV, and then subtly switching to AV to maintain continuity of pace.
You might want to write sections in both style for comments from your beta readers. Not your crit group – they'd be likely to jump on the technical aspects.
(This suggestion comes from a lecture by my late mentor, Marvin Mudrick.)
Luckily, these are the scenes that have a lot of action and dialogue. The PV only shows up in her thoughts, so I think it's pretty balanced.
I'll try writing it both ways to see though– thanks for the idea.
Recipe for rule keeping:
Start with the point not the rules.
Make your point and then read the point you've made. If it isn't readable and clear, rearrange until it is. Allow only enough bling to compliment the point.
Rules honored.
Simple or simplistic?
Excellent summary, but I suspect that it would be predicated on a thorough knowledge of the rules…otherwise the 'rearranging' would be a disastrous flailing-about in a shark-infested sea of verbiage.
I will print it out and pin it to the wall above my computer, whence cometh my inspiration.
You're correct, but…
Like most, I was dragged through one grammar class after another throughout my school years but still failed a basic grammar test after arriving at college! Consequently, I was not allowed to take any college level English classes until I first passed a "REMEDIAL" course in grammar.
Insulted and humiliated I took the class and passed with flying colors but my anger had nothing to do with my success.
The teacher was brilliant! Instead of focusing on rules she focused on the versatility of words.
The lesson that changed my thinking forever was one that involved her shoe. No, she didn't kick me. That had been tried before, also without success.
She took off a shoe, held it up to the class and asked, "what is this?" We all said the obvious, "a shoe."
She then held the toe of the shoe and starting banging the heel on the table like she was driving in a nail. Again the question, "what is this now?"
We all looked at each other blankly, then back at her and, like fleas trained to jump no higher than the rim, sheepishly said, "shoe???"
To which she responded, "no, now it is a hammer." That day the light came on for me! Words are not fixed parts of speech. They bend. Square ones can become round if necessary.
Knowing the rules wasn't my problem. Knowing how they worked with words was. I love the rules but I don't have them memorized (I did at one time). I just make my point and then check for clarity and readability. Usually when that process is finished the rules are happy.
If the sentence or paragraph just won't behave, apply my rule [I don't think it's original with me though]: When in doubt, take it out.
Removing the ornery material (with the safety net of "save as") usually works like a charm.
Sometimes the material insinuates its way back,in a different place or broken up or whatever. But so much better.
"Show not tell" is jargon, in my opinion. I guess it means create a dramatic scene, not just a narrative. But sometimes you need a concise narrative thread to connect scenes, so the book isn't endless.
I love that you said "show not tell" is jargon; you're right. The sentiment is there, but sometimes — especially on online critiques where any Jane or Joe can post their opinion — this phrase is thrown around ALL THE TIME and sometimes the telling is appropriate. Sometimes the showing muddies up a scene and feels forced. The worst critique comment I've seen online was "sounds told." It SOUNDS TOLD. I laughed for awhile on that one.
Well said. When I was writing by the rules, I sounded like an English teacher, a stuffy one (I was), but I gave that up and found my voice. I had to do this by writing in character. I took the voice of a male slave during the Civil War and, through him, found my own voice. Stick to the point and forget the rules is my advice. Rules apply only in the editing stage, never in writing.
I agree, Corinda. First person rocks!
(And my protag. is male, too, and historical. Very different time & place.)
I used to think the adverb rule was just something people made up due to a dead appendage of a tree trapped inside their…anyway…
The rule makes sense to me if I go with the explanatory questions. Does the adverb add something to the meaning? Can the adverb be removed and the meaning remain unchanged?
"She mumbled softly" is redundant. Not only that, but it repeats itself. "Softly" adds nothing.
"He softly stroked her hair." As opposed to stroking her hair with a brick?
Some adverbs add meaning, however, so I will break the rule in rare cases. "She scolded him gently." "Gently" added meaning, because people often scold harshly.
Anyway, I just wanted to very quickly throw in my rather simple two cents. 😛
PJ, you've picked out a perfect example of when a rule should be broken, with the gentle scolding.
There really isn't a milder replacement for 'scold', in the context you used. I might have suggested 'reprimand', but I had an image of the lady in question gently slipping a non-judicial letter of reprimand into the gentleman's service record. Ugh.
The limitations of the language sometimes require adverbial modifiers.
("She Stroked His Hair With A Brick" would make a really good title for a really bad country song, eh?)
You said "eh"!!Well said, my similarly aged Padawan.
You do realize Andrew, that in no time, PJ will post a Youtube video of him singing about bricks ?
On YouTube sing I may.
Oh, dear, a monster have I created?
Such a lovely thought for a song.
On a hot summer's day, on a roof made of tin
She worked pounding nails at the old motor inn.
It was there she first saw him getting ready to leave
And her heart longed to take him to the Denny's that eve
But he didn't hear her whistle and she had to think quick
So she stroked his hair with a brick.
You picked a fine time to heave scree, Lucille…
I just bit off the end of my cigar. Happy now?
that prepositional phrase changed your story from a romance to a murder mystery in 3 words. Well done, sir!
Thank you, Adam. 🙂
Excellent example, PJ! Thanks!
Some adverbs add meaning, however, so I will break the rule in rare cases. "She scolded him gently." "Gently" added meaning, because people often scold harshly.
Not sure I agree… If she scolded him gently – why wouldn't you just show it? You are assuming these lines are in a vacuum. I would much rather say "She scolded PJ by making him go to his room for fifteen minutes"
Depends where this is in the story – do we know SHE – what's she like, do we know what he did ect ect – whats the line before this, whats the line after this – you can easily get this across without using gently
Perhaps context is mandatory for all examples. This was an attempt to show the proper use of adverbs and why they are shunned in most cases. Then again, there are purists who want to ban adverbs from the written word, so I keep those on my list alive and help them escape.
Postulated – that one should be able to write at least a book-length work that is wholly constrained by the rules, saying exactly what one intends to say, before choosing to break them. Here's why.
Rules are like muscle memory for an athlete – for example, a golfer.
The technique of golf is best learned through endless hours and bloodied hands on the practice range, developing a swing that will consistently be repeated no matter what the club selected, no matter what the light or the weather. The practice range is flat, and the target unvarying. It's work, and it's mind-numbing.
The art of golf is learned on the course, in developing tactical and strategic shotmaking methodologies that address the varying landscape and sight pictures that make up the course's architecture, along with the added stress of competition.
The dependable, repeatable swing is a tool – the key that grants admission to learning the art in a meaningful way.
All the competitive spirit and innate athleticism one may possess will avail naught if the swing is not absolutely dependable, and made so through years of honing. (This is another way of saying that age and experience will always trump youth and talent…which I find increasingly comforting as the years pass…)
I know this about golf, because it was a road I attempted to travel – and on which I failed.
You definitely birdied that one, Andrew. Or as Bill Murray would say, "It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"
What a great analogy!
And who knows, that golf game may come in handy one day.
The pursuit of golf has sent many a cart into the ditch.
I am aghast! Your author intrusion was the only human sentence in the entire essay.
Thank you, Andrew, for helping me to better understand why I shall NEVER be a golfer! 😉
Seriously, though…good analogy!
Although, I must add my own pearl…"golf is for people who can't play hockey".
I do agree ABS, one must know the rules in order to bend them just right, and not break them.
It's a delicate balance between following the rules and giving freedom to your distinctive voice. Saying "It's my voice" is no excuse to flagrantly ignore good writing technique — but some authors do just that. And some authors smother their voice under an avalanche of dos and don'ts.
I thoroughly believe in following the rules (for example, don't use fragments) ONLY until you're familiar with the craft. Then you can experiment and find your style.
Take care,
I believe it was Captain Jack Sparrow who said, "they're more like guidelines."
Sure, "show not tell" makes sense. But we're telling a story. So perhaps we need to TELL.
"Avoid adverbs." Yes, words like "suddenly" can be overused. But words like "furtively" help paint the picture.
Just my $0.03.
Yep, it was the inimitable Captain Jack, from whom all TRUE wisdom flows.
Well, okay…him and Gandalf.
Nope, it was Captain Elizabeth and she was quoting, let's see, she was quoting the Captain of the Black Pearl?
I thought it was Charlie Brown from whom all true wisdom flowed?

Kendrick Lamar's artistry literally makes me happy. Especially when he's on his Pro Black tip. I have a real soft spot for conscious music. Whether it be Hip Hop, R&B, etc. doesn't matter. I need to feel it in order to talk about it. Kendrick purposely stimulates his fans with messages in his music that often speak to my life on a personal bit. "Humble" seemed to have did that for everybody.
Don't get me wrong, music has changed for the better again in my personal opinion. But at one time, there seemed to be nothing for the average looking women to listen to from men. Atleast not the woman who wants to keep to her morals or just doesn't wish to be ridiculed about her body or called out her name. Sorry if i'm prissy like that but hey i'm sensitive and ish.
Show me somethin' natural like afro on Richard Pryor
Show me somethin' natural like ass with some stretch marks
I've never been opposed to anyone changing something about their body that they don't like, but for those who appreciate their little booty or natural body, I think this line was appreciated across the board! Speaking from a realistic point of view because I've read tweets via Global Grind that oppose his standpoint arguing that he's more Misogynistic and shallow then we'd like to say:
Kendrick has a rather patronizing, shallow way of looking at situations relating to women. I wish I could tell him about himself lol
— fat and boujee (@delafro_) March 31, 2017
But I cant help to feel indifferent because in music, if the artists can't express themselves as real and as raw as possible then what do we have? Sounds more like a puppet if you ask me.
The song also speaks volumes visually on spirituality.
This scene reminded me of the men from the Nation of Islam that walked with Denzel Washington in the movie Malcolm X. But also gave me a Scarface kind of vibe as well. So there goes a double whammy to contemplate on.
But being that he has referred to himself as the king in the past, perhaps its all a reference to royalty. There was a theory speaking to the idea that he was speaking to BIG Sean, but I wont entertain that. Check out the video for your self and tell us your thoughts below:

The U.S. Treasury Department and IRS have released the final regulations under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Under FATCA, U.S. taxpayers with specified foreign financial assets that exceed certain thresholds must report those assets to the IRS. In addition, FATCA will require foreign financial institutions to report directly to the IRS information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers, or held by foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest.
FATCA is here to stay. It's broad-reaching and complex. So how do you implement its regulations in a pragmatic way for your organization? This webinar goes beyond an overview of FATCA to a practical discussion of what your organization must do to be compliant, with recommendations from seasoned tax professionals on how to prepare for the long-term impacts.
After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:
•Describe how the final FATCA regulations will impact your company
•Identify key issues facing U.S. withholding agents in both the financial services and non-financial services industries
•Develop an action plan of what your organization should be doing now to prepare and become compliant for FATCA
•Recognize legal and operational challenges surrounding FATCA compliance
Eligible for 1 CPE Credit
Ross Belhomme and Peter Grant will present a 45 minute webinar on the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and its impact on global exchange of information regimes, including the development of the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) by the OECD. Ross and Peter will discuss how clients and advisers have adapted to the new landscape and what they can expect to see in future from the increasingly complex reporting requirements.Read more >
The due diligence requirements for new and pre-existing accounts are now set and deadlines are quickly approaching. There are less than 10 months until FATCA goes live and foreign financial institutions across the globe need to start getting ready now. FATCA's Final Regulations and the model intergovernmental agreements ("IGAs"), although complex when first read, can be simplified to make implementation more efficient.
In this complimentary webcast, Navigant's FATCA experts Richard Kando and Jeffrey Locke will discuss concrete steps, challenges and best practices that all financial institutions need to know to successfully operationalize FATCA's due diligence requirements.
By now many have heard of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and its impact on the US and international capital markets. The FATCA provisions, which will be phased in beginning on January 1 2014 could dramatically alter the way US corporations raise funds abroad, the way non-US financial institutions are forced to comply with US tax law, as well as the way many foreign investors invest in US securities.
The panel will discuss:
The background of FATCA;
The FATCA 30% tax on "withholdable payments" such as interest, dividends, and securities sales proceeds beginning January 1 2014 and on "passthru payments" beginning January 1 2017; and,
The impact of FATCA on capital markets transactions including equity and debt offerings, swap transactions and other structured products.
The due diligence requirements for new and pre-existing accounts consume nearly 100 pages of the FATCA Proposed Regulations. The end game - proper classification of account holders - is the same for both the update of onboarding procedures and the pre-existing account review, but the best way to approach each of these regulatory challenges may be different.
Join us on Wednesday, June 27th at 1pm Eastern as Navigant FATCA specialists Richard Kando and Jeffrey Locke discuss the challenges and best practices that foreign financial institutions should consider when operationalizing FATCA's due diligence requirements.
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") is likely the most far-reaching statute to combat offshore tax evasion in recent history. FATCA generally mandates foreign financial institutions ("FFI") and non-financial foreign entities ("NFFE") to identify accounts owned by, or for the beneficial interest of, United States taxpayers to the Internal Revenue Service. The penalty for non-compliance is steep: a 30% withholding tax on certain payments.
This webcast provides an overview of FATCA and examines the legal and regulatory impacts on foreign financial institutions.
What You Will Learn:
--FATCA Overview
--The Law and IRS Guidance
--Practical Considerations
Who Should Attend:
Representatives from Compliance, Tax, Operations, Legal and Client Services from financial institutions. Also, in-house and outside counsel interested in or currently working on matters involving international tax, anti-money laundering or anti-corruption will benefit from this program.
Please join Richard Kando and Jeffrey Locke of Navigant Consulting, and Philip West, Esq., a partner at Steptoe and Johnson LLP, as they address these issues as well as your questions.
Aileen Barry, Director, National Tax Investigations, DLA Piper
Alan Granwell, Partner, International Tax, DLA Piper
Michael H. Plowgian, Attorney-Advisor in the Office of the International Tax Counsel at the US Department of the Treasury

Most of the main tax season deadlines have come and gone. It's now time to collect your notes and start preparing your review to internal stakeholders. How do you compile this information and present this data in a clear manner that will help drive process improvements for next year?
Sovos is presenting a complimentary webinar that addresses these concerns that will be hosted by Wendy Walker who has over 15 years of reporting and compliance experience, including organizations like Zions Bancorporation and Chase.
Why are season reviews so powerful?
1. Creates alignment and more efficient communication with all the people, departments, and vendors involved with year-end processing.
2. Improves the overall process by bringing visibility to the impact tax reporting processes can have when they go well and when they don't.
3. Creates better risk management (with penalties increasing twice this year) by facilitating valuable discussions and feedback needed to improve the accuracy of data, meet state and federal deadlines, and identify shortfalls and limitations of current systems and processes.
This webinar will discuss six ways to help your review make a difference.
•Document the details!
•Decide when to conduct the review.
•Determine who should attend the season review.
•Set ground rules for the meeting in advance.
•Set basic questions to use as a guideline for discussion.
•Share and build on the results of the lessons learned.
Wendy Walker is an experienced tax information reporting professional with over 15 years of reporting and compliance experience. In her former roles at Zions Bancorporation and Chase, she managed compliance and operations functions (and teams) associated with US withholding tax and 1099, 1042-S, and state reporting. Additionally, Wendy was the FATCA Reporting Officer at Zions, responsible for researching and advising the various lines of business of their obligations.
New FATCA 30% tax on "withholdable payments."
New FATCA tax on "dividend equivalent" payments.
Repeal of the U.S. "bearer bond" exception.
Regulation is a key driver in the industry and in an unprecedented age of openness and transparency continues to be the no. 1 driver for asset managers investing in data and reporting initiatives. Companies want to mitigate the risk of inaccurate information being in the public domain and many are embarking on data management projects – which will save time, reduce errors and automate processes. The key themes we see center on capability to deliver a systematic, repeatable and auditable data publication process for client-facing data.
This webcast will focus on how upcoming regulations will impact the industry and how asset managers need to prepare to ensure they stay ahead in a highly competitive market. Specific topics to be covered include: the latest version of AIFMD, the final throes of the Retail Distribution Review, the latest on KIID for PRIPS, UCITS V, how being important or "SIFI" is no longer so desirable, Volcker, FATCA and last but certainly not least Pillar III of Solvency II. Finally, we will touch on what is around the corner and run through some recommendations with respect to preparing for the swathe of upcoming regulatory change.
