One afternoon, I received a
phone call from Boutwell
informing me that he was in
Balboa Naval Hospital and when I
inquired what happened he said,
"I got run over by a beer
truck," and when I said, "Don't
give me that crap," he insisted
that it was true. As it turned
out, when he was leaving one of
his favorite haunts by the back
door, a beer delivery truck ran
over his foot. No matter how
hard he tried to live it down,
from then on he was known as
"Beertruck" Boutwell.
The Navy issued "Beertruck" a
set of false teeth shortly after
he joined and he loved to use
them in crude ways. One of his
favorite tricks when we were
drinking beer with our
shipmates, was to drop his teeth
in the pitcher of beer therefore
claiming it for himself. Nobody
argued because they didn't want
to pour themselves a beer with
Boutwell's teeth smiling back at
them through the brew.
"Beertruck" was not the
barmaid's favorite customer.
One afternoon, we were off
the coast working with marines
bringing small boats into the
well deck of the ship. Boutwell
and I were in the ballast shack
flooding tanks to raise the ship
up and down to allow the boats
in and out. We discovered there
was smoke coming from behind the
electrical switchboard and I
told "Beertruck" to get me an
electrician and a CO2 (fire
extinguisher). The next thing I
realized the Commanding Officer
was standing in the ballast
shack telling me Boutwell said I
wanted to see him. We laughed
until tears came to our eyes
when we figured out "Beertruck"
did what he heard me say.
Boutwell made my time in the
Navy seem a little shorter and
wherever you are, "Beertruck,"
thank you for being you.

Flash in the Pan
A Quarterly Posting at Tiny Lights
by Dan Coshnear
The ancient Greeks had 6 words for love:
Eros> (sexual passion, desire),
(playful, childlike),
(love of everyone or selfless love),
(longstanding, emphasis on giving love),
(compassion for self).
If you're unfamiliar with these terms, you might say, cool, I'm going to remember them. But, if you're like me, you won't.
is easy, think of Valentine's cards.
, think Philadelphia, city of brotherly love.
sounds like
, but it looks like "agape," which means "mouth wide open." Someone says, "Try to love everyone," and your jaw descends rapidly. Everyone? Really?
From here it gets more difficult.
sounds like "magma," liquid rock, or like "dogma," hardened rock.
, forgive me, sounds like "fellatio," an act of love, at least sometimes, but rarely committed upon oneself.
? I draw blank.
Combinations? Permutations? There are 63.
, for example. That's amusing.
. Bends the mind.
I'm not sure 63 covers all the possibilities.
A few years back, I prepared to drive to the dump with garbage and recycles in the bed of our fickle Mazda pickup. The hard work of loading was done. When I turned the key, the truck started, a tablespoon of relief. The day, as I remember it, was breezy, late spring, every shade of green. The dump sits in a hole near the crest of Pocket Canyon; the end of a pleasant drive on a serpentine stretch of Highway 116. I set off with the windows open, evaluating the suntan on my left forearm, and the look of me in the driver's side mirror, lightly whiskered, in sunglasses, hair blown back. I thought, this is about as handsome as I'll ever be. I could spread myself in any direction across the broad front seat. I felt expansive. I had room to think, and my mind was popping with memories of people and places and songs I thought I'd forgotten. For example, I'd forgotten that years and years before I'd lived in NYC and rode the subway every day, sometimes so crowded I couldn't scratch myself. Once a man, unwittingly, I think, parked his briefcase between my cheeks. More years back, I hitchhiked, everywhere. I was often the grateful guest in someone's passenger seat, but not at home. Not at home like this—a wish fulfilled. I felt happy, with a simple sense purpose that made me freer, happier. I was getting rid of crap.
But that's not my point.
Dear Ancient Greeks, every once in a while, I love my life so much it hurts, or to be a little more precise, what hurts is the impossibility of holding onto the feeling and the fear of letting it go, but really,
what I'm talking about is the overwhelming desire to share the feeling. To share it with someone on the big front seat of a Mazda pickup on the way to the dump. I'm going to call this sensation #64. It might also be called the impulse to write.

Move over Birchbox, Sephora is about to change the beauty box business with a subscription service called Play. The box subscription service is huge right now, with every niche you can think of including health, shaving and of course beauty.
Play by Sephora will give women five makeup, skincare or haircare products to sample. Of course all of the big brands who already love Sephora will be on board, Marc Jacobs beauty, Bumble, Glamglow just to name a few.
What is cool about the service is that each month there will be a theme so your box will be based on that theme each month. If you are trying to be frugal, imagine getting really cool samples of all your favorite brands at just $10.00?
If you are in Boston, Cincinnati or Columbus Ohio, you get to sample the program first as early as September. Do I think you should get rid of all your other boxes? Absolutely not, I still believe boxes like Curl Kit and Curl Box are necessary in the market because you get even more targeted merchandise to suit your personal needs.
There is no information yet on whether you will actually receive full size products in your box, sometimes a brand might surprise you every month or so which makes signing up so worth it. We can only hope Sephora can keep up with what we are already used to. Would you sign up for the Sephora subscription?

Heading to the Inauguration? The Metrobus is one of the best ways to get there.
Please note that 50 Metrobus routes will be changed on Inauguration Day. The
WMATA says that buses traveling near the National Mall will display a sign in the windshield telling you it is going to the Mall.
Metrobus will operate on a normal weekday schedule before the Inauguration, and then on a P.M. rush hours schedule in the afternoon. Traffic will be stopped before the National Mall, so you may have to switch buses to on the other side.
Sign up for Metro Inauguration alerts at
wmata.com/inauguration for transportation changes and alerts.
The WMATA recommends the following bus service corridors for getting into the National Mall Area:
You can also get to Inauguration events by taking the Metro. Find out which Metro stops to take here:

Most Commonly Used Types of Power Tools
In our everyday tasks, tools play important role. You will need a complete set of tools at home, in your car, in the office and in any commercial and industrial establishment for tinkering. You can use various types of tools in many different ways. Individual tools have very significant importance because they have unique characteristics that are intended for their specific uses. It is of much importance to keep a set of tools especially at home. It is also a must for every homeowner to at least have basic knowledge on how to use or operate the different types of tools. There are circumstances beyond our control that can happen at home. You can eliminate the possible burden if you have basic knowledge on how to use such tools.
There are tools that can be easily and conveniently used given that we have a very advance technology nowadays. Aside from the basic manual tools, the tools that are somewhat more advanced in terms of functions are called power tools. These tools are commonly seen in commercial and industrial businesses. Below is the list of power tools that are very useful for all around use.
Ceramic Tile Cutter
In home renovation or remodeling especially in the bathroom, a ceramic tile cutter can be of great help. This power tool is designed to accurately cut ceramic tiles. As compared to breaking ceramic tile using manual tools, this one can cut neatly without causing breakage in other areas. You can precisely cut end and corner pieces without sweat.
Band saw
A band saw is a power tool that you should keep at home always because of its many uses. This handy tool is for wood and metal cutting. If you need some woodwork or any crafts done, this power tool can help you get things done immediately. You can find hand held band saw and free standing band saw in the market. These two types of band saws differ in specific use but both provide accuracy. There are some instances that a free standing band saw is more suitable to use and vice versa.
Air Compressor
When you need to paint lots of square footage, an air compressor can be of great help. You can easily connect the air compressor in the sprayer to make the task easier to finish. If you use air compressor rather than brush in painting, work is done efficiently at the least possible time.
Another most common and most useful power tool is the drill. In any establishment and at home, a drill is very much needed. You will need a drill in hanging artworks or installing shelves. When it comes to assembling furniture and fixtures and fixing the fences, you can also use a drill. It is a must to have a drill in every tool box.

Check with the computer programming department for course registration deadlines, and software programming program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Philander Smith College.
Businesses of all types have a profound need for talented software specialists. Programmers often start out with a bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering, followed by intensive on-the-job training. Computer science (CS) degree programs may cover diverse programming languages, depending on the application involved. For example, the C# language combines the robustness of C++ with the advanced features of JAVA programming. The C# language is most easily compiled within Visual Studio IDE, a rapid-development platform. If you are writing a web-based application in ASP.NET, you will be required to code in C# or Visual Basic for the backend.
Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank's computing needs. On the other hand, the JAVA language may be used to develop enterprise-level applications and accelerate the design of video games or iOS/Android mobile apps. By way of comparison, some large websites that make use of the Python language include Pinterest and Instagram. In fact, many CS students gain hands-on experience in software development by completing a business internship at a software company while still in college. The median annual wage for computer programmers was $90,530 in May 2017. Beyond major requirements within the computer programming department, you may consider Ozarka College midterm exam schedule as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

About invisible braces:
Invisible braces have become an increasingly popular option for people wanting to straighten their teeth and improve their smile without the wires, brackets, and physical discomfort of conventional metal braces. There are three different versions of invisible braces: Clear trays, lingual braces, and simple wire. Although there are aesthetic differences between these three invisible types, all of these options were designated to offer the same teeth straightening benefits associated with metal braces.
Benefits of Invisible Braces
Among their many benefits, invisible braces:
1. Can be used to treat both children and adults
2. Blend in flawlessly with your teeth
3. Can correct your bite and straighten your smile
4. Improve your overall health
5. Improve the aesthetics of your smile
6. Can dramatically subtly transform your smile in a dramatic way
7. Extremely comfortable and fully customizable

A small while back a small group of friends did random animation tests just to have a chance to animate things that we wanted that wasn't part of the stuff assigned by our classes. I decided to animate this duck character that plays with a muddy puddle.

January 29, 2011 (7th meetup): Rewriting Your Manuscript
Last Saturday, January 29th, our writing group met up again at Borders Torrance. We had three new faces join us for the meetup on "Rewriting Your Manuscript."
A usual, we started our meeting with introductions. After stating our names, current projects and answering a strange but creative question from the box, we proceeded to the next activity.
I like to start our meetups with a hopeful, positive note, so before diving into our main topic, I had everybody join in an activity inspired by the recent SCBWI-LA Westside schmooze.
In that schmooze, Rita told us about her Illustrator friend whose instructor required his students to spend 15 minutes illustrating three dreams or goals that they wanted to achieve. They put this illustration in an envelope and forgot about it until a year later. When they opened their illustration, they realized that all the dreams they had illustrated had come true.
I explained to the group, that though it seems like magic, the principle behind this activity is the same principle behind the Harvard study: In 1964, all members of the Harvard Business School graduating class said that they had clear goals they wanted to achieve. However, only 5% of them took the time to write these goals down. A follow up study 20 years later revealed that 95% of those who wrote down their goals were able to achieve all of them. Among the other half of the class who said they had goals but didn't write them down, only 5% reached their expected goals.
The truth is when we write down our goals, it becomes a written contract to ourselves. It sparks personal motivation within us to achieve these goals. And since we've written down exactly what we want to achieve, we see our goals more clearly, and our brain starts seeing innovative ways to achieve them.
I then handed out pieces of blank paper. I instructed them to write down their writing-related dreams and goals for 5 minutes straight. I encouraged them to write down all the details they could think of– the name of the agent who is going to them back and say "I'd like to represent you", the name of the publishing house who is going to give them a six-book deal, the color of the dress they're going to wear when they accept the Newbery medal,etc.
The activity helped us get into a positive and hopeful mindset. We were now ready to tackle the topic of Rewriting.
I gave out handout1 which described the four types of editing: Proofreading/Copyediting, Line Editing , Content/Developmental Editing, and Heavy/Substantive Editing.
We discussed the difference between rewriting and editing, the four kinds of editing, and the different processes of writing, just to get a clearer picture of what rewriting means.
We agreed that there are generally four stages to writing a novel:
Stage 1: Writing the First Draft
Stage 2: Rewriting
Stage 3: Editing
Stage 4: Copyediting/Proofreading
Ideally when we write the first draft, we don't stop to edit ourselves. Grammar, punctuation, spelling and all the nitty gritty things don't matter at this stage.
What matters is that our stories have a beginning, middle and end, and that it gets finished.
Once we are done with our first draft, we move into the second stage of writing, which is rewriting/revising our work. In this stage, we go through our first (or 2nd or 3rd) draft with a creative eye. This means that spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors shouldn't distract us from polishing and tightening our stories.
Instead, our focus is to fix the story itself—character, plot, setting, etc. Before we even begin to actually rewrite our story, we must do some content editing. This means we have to look at the flow and the structure of our story.
After developmental editing, usually comes substantive editing—which means we reorganize paragraphs, sections, or chapters for overall clarity or readability.
Elements of style such as punctuation, spelling, word usage, grammar and sentence construction fall under the third stage.
Copyediting/Proofreading is the final stage before we send off our manuscripts. Here is where we check that everything is totally correct—there are no typos, the format is perfect and the manuscript is ready for an agent's eyes.
Content editing is basically what we do when we revise for Story. Substantive or Heavy editing is similar to revising for Structure, since this is the part of rewriting where we rearrange our scenes, chapters (and even paragraphs) so that our story can flow smoothly.
Before we can Revise for Story or Structure, however, there are certain steps we must take in order to prepare for a major rewrite.
James Scott Bell in his book REVISION & SELF-EDITING lists down 6 Steps to follow before rewriting. I added my own tips, as well as other authors' tips I found while researching the topic, and shared this with the group.
2. The Preparation Phase
3. Print Out and Prepare a Fresh Copy
4. Get Ready to Read
5. Read
6. Analyze
*** You can check out James Scott Bell's article here:
Once we've done all these things, we're ready to do some actual rewriting based on the many notes we made.
The next thing we need to do is gather all our needed materials:
- Manuscript copy
- Favorite editing pens
- Notebook/pad where we jotted down possible revision notes
- Other notes that we created while working on the book, plus maps, charts, diagrams, character descriptions, etc, which we used while writing the novel.
Robert J. Ray, in his book The Weekend Novelist Rewrites the Manuscript, says that there are three important elements to consider when rewriting: Story, Structure and Style. When you rewrite, always rewrite for structure and story first When story hums and structure runs smooth, work on Style.
Revising for Story
Freelance editor Victory Crayne says the following things:
- Content is King. Your story may have technically correct English, but still fail to sell.
- The first draft is often for you, the writer. Now go back and rewrite it for your readers.
- Writing to entertain is much harder than writing perfect English. Writing to entertain so well that hundreds of thousands of readers can't wait until your next book comes out requires a whole lot more. It requires two critical ingredients: (1) a great storyline and (2) excellence in storytelling. Just writing perfect English won't get you there.
It's important that we know what our story is really about before we even try to rewrite entire paragraphs or chapters.
Revising for Story, also known as content editing, can save us a lot of time and trouble.
As a basis for our discussion on rewriting for Story, I used author Holly Lisle's awesome article on One-Pass Manuscript Revision: From First Draft to Last in One Cycle.
You can read the whole thing here:
In this article, she recommends going through the process of discovery in order to get your story right. She suggests activities for figuring out our manuscripts' themes, sub-themes and story arc.
Revising for Structure
Every story has a three act structure, also known as the beginning, middle and end. Knowing our story's structure, allows us to understand what's supposed to happen within each part.
For instance, in the Beginning, we're supposed to introduce the reader to the setting, the characters and the situation or conflict they find themselves in, as well as their goals. When we revise our manuscript, we must figure out if we have accomplished this or not.
Peder Hill's article on Conflict and Character within Story Structure was a great jumping off point for our discussion on revising for structure.
Afterward, we discussed some techniques for revising structure. I suggested that the use of index cards was a great way for figuring out the flow of a story.
In the index cards, we write down the title of our scene/chapter, along with a scene/chapter description. We can even assign a particular index card color to each of our major characters/major storylines.
Once we've finished our index cards, we lay them out on a big table or on the floor, and figure out if our story is flowing smoothly based on the scene descriptions. If not, we rearrange the index cards until the story does flow.
Picture from Chris Bell's blogpost on Manuscript Mapping.
Check out her article here.
I also suggested the use of the software program Anthemion Café Writers Storylines, as this is similar to the index card technique.
Holly Lisle's article: One-Pass Manuscript Revision: From First Draft to Last in One Cycle, once more came in handy. In the final part of our meetup, we discussed steps to take in the actual rewriting of our manuscripts.
Towards the end of our meetup, I gave out a list of writing books which I found helpful in my own process of manuscript revision. Other members also suggested books they found useful.
Our heads were buzzing with a boatload of information by the time we ended the meetup. All of us had our minds set on rewriting our manuscripts based on what he had learned and shared with each other that day.

I'll try and make the next meeting
Wow, what a thorough breakdown. Thank you! I have Bell's book on revision. I need to get that out and re-read it.
OK, this was an amazing posting. Anyone who'd never consciously tackled a revision would come away with an excellent starting point.
One thing I personally find key to the revision process is getting distance. Sometimes it means putting it away for awhile so I can kill off characters and scenes dispassionately if they don't serve the story. I wish I knew how to gain distance faster.
Hope to make your next meeting. Please tell me the time, date and where you meet.
Jale' Pullen
What a great post, Nutschell, jam packed full of helpful info and links. I'll refer back to this while working on revising my novel. Thanks!

The accommodation is over 3 upper floors with an open-plan living and dining room and kitchen on the first floor, directly overlooking the bustling and lively cobbled square in which it is situated.
First Floor Description
The double bedroom, with en-suite shower, as well as the separate family shower room is on the floor above.
Second Floor Description
A further twin-bedded room occupies the third floor, with lovely views looking out towards the Welsh Marches.
Other Notes
Due to the accommodation being placed over 4 levels it is regrettably not considered suitable for the disabled, very elderly or young children. Please note there is two shower rooms but no bath.

Finally, the "Beetlejuice" sequel we deserve.
Michael Keaton is out because he's too busy with "Birdman," but Funny Or Die has graciously provided us with a worthy replacement in Natasha Lyonne. Duh!
The "Orange is the New Black" star shows us she's spooky as hell in this update of our favorite Winona Ryder movie. Besides "Heathers," I mean. And "The Age of Innocence." And "Little Women." OK, it's only a fairly good Winona Ryder movie. Whatever. Go Natasha!

Android Questions? Ask Android Device Experts for Answers ASAP
Hi, thank you for contacting JustAnswer.com. My name is Russell. I will do my best to provide the right answer to your question.
The task of transfer of Contacts from the Samsung S2 to the Samsung J1, may depend in part upon what Android version is on the S2 and what Android version is on the J1.
But often, just logging in and/or configuring your new J1 to your Google account (if you store your accounts with your Google account!) will cause it to locate/use/upload (?) your Google Contacts, and make them usable on the new J1. Have you tried that yet?
Or do you have no Google account configured on the old (S2) phone either?

A formally convergent method for calculating the thermodynamic properties of solutions containing molecules not widely different in size and interaction energies is developed using the cluster-integral approach of the theory of imperfect gases. The potential energy of the actual solution is referred to the potential energy of a suitably chosen 'reference liquid'; the correction terms which are required to give the correct energy for the solution give rise to cluster integrals which contain distribution functions of the reference liquid as factors in the integrand. Even if all the cluster integrals are neglected a useful result may be obtained. The first cluster integral, corresponding to the second virial coefficient in the theory of imperfect gases, is comparatively easy to evaluate. This approach provides a unified and formally exact basis for existing approximate theories of solutions, as well as a method for obtaining more accurate results.

***Special Offer***
Everything You Need to Write a Great Regency Era Book is Seconds Away - And For a Limited Time You Save 87%!
Get my Painless Historical Fiction: Regency Era ebook PLUS my comprehensive 5-Day Regency Workshop for one low price. Offer good until the timer hits zero!
►Have you always been a fan of Regency Era fiction by authors like Jane Austen and wished you could write something similar?
►Have you noticed lots of Regency fiction on bestseller lists and know there's real money to be made as a Regency Era author?
►Have you avoided writing a Regency Romance because you're afraid you don't know enough about that era?
►Does the idea of spending hour after grueling hour doing tedious Regency Era research keep you from even getting started?
►Are you worried that your story will have mistakes that readers who are experts about that time will pick apart in book reviews?
You are definitely not alone!
Hi! Britt here. I got my start writing non-fiction, which I did for a long time. I had also, of course, been an avid reader of fiction all my life. When my children were young, I even wrote a few fiction books (in Danish) based on stories I made up for them.
So, when I decided to start writing Kindle fiction, I was confident that I could do it.
After all, I had some good stories, I had written plenty of non-fiction, and I'm a good researcher.
So, I researched other books that covered both the time and the setting that were relevant to my own book idea.
I quickly discovered that I had NO idea what I was up against!
I was completely surprised by some of the ugly reviews some of these books had gotten. That's when I started reading about the experiences of many historical fiction writers.
When you add an historical element to fiction, you attract a lot of new readers. People are fascinated with different time periods in history.
And that reader awareness presents some problems for new historical fiction writers:
• Your readers might know more about your time period than you do.
• They might have read more fiction that takes place during that era.
• They might have read non-fiction about that era, too.
• They might have saved every History Channel program even remotely related to that period.
It can be intimidating. It's the main thing that keeps good writers with good story ideas from writing historical fiction.
But those readers weren't born with the information. People born in 1980 don't come into the world understanding the plight of a girl in Jane Austen's time.
There's no reason why you can't learn about that time, too. And you don't have to be an expert on every single thing during that time period.
You only have to know enough to tell your story.
That's hugely important, so I'm going to say that again...
You only have to know enough to tell your story.
Even if you write a time-traveler story, where someone from the present time visits some other era, they will only be exposed to so much during the course of your book. They won't experience everything from that era.
Even if you DID know every trivial fact about that time period, if you put everything you know into your book, it would be remarkably boring (and really long).
That's if you ever even finished writing it. You probably wouldn't.
So, I decided to learn the things that I would need to know to tell a good number of stories in just one period: the Regency Era.
Why that time? Because it's an interesting period in history, but also because it's one of the most lucrative categories in historical fiction.
Historical fiction sells!
If you didn't already know this, now you do. It really really sells!
And Regency Era fiction, in particular, is one of the most sought after by readers.
Regency Era fiction readers are incredibly loyal, too. That's great news for you as an author of such stories.
Once you make even a minor name for yourself, readers will line up to buy your next offering... over and over again.
So, I set out to learn just enough about that period to write a competent and interesting story. I didn't need to know enough to write a history textbook covering every last detail of every year throughout the entire period.
After doing this research, it dawned on me that I could share it with others interested in writing Regency fiction, saving them all the time and effort I'd already spent.
And that's exactly why you're here!
Inside Painless Historial Fiction: Regency Era, you get 80 pages of period-specific info, details, and important historical events.
The entire purpose is to give you a clear understanding of life in the Regency Era so that you can write a work of fiction that impresses readers and is free of embarrassing mistakes.
There's a lot here, but it's not too much. What I mean is, I know you're not writing a history class textbook. You're writing a work of fiction that you want readers to enjoy and find entertaining.
So I give you what's important to know, but skip all the mind-numbing tiny details you'd never need anyway.
Here's what you'll find inside Painless Historical Fiction: Regency Era
►Royalty of the time - Including intrigues and how the public viewed them.
►Women - Overview - Overall issues facing females at this time. They are a major focus of this era
because of the unique challenges and obstacles they faced.
►Inheritances - How lands, titles, and money passed in this era.
►Historical Timeline - Major events and literature of this era.
►The Poor - The challenges they faced and how their lives were different in this era than in
later ones.
►Poor & Working Class Timeline - The major historical events impacting the lives of the poor and working classes during this era.
►Women Timeline - The major milestones affecting females at this time in England.
►Married Women's Rights - The rights and legal issues facing married women in this era.
►Marriage & Courtship - Societal rules and class issues surrounding marriage and courtship in this era, including jilting and proposal refusals.
►The London Season - The importance of being in London at certain times of the year, especially for young women and eligible young men.
►Titles - A layout of the basic titles and peerage hierarchy for the various classes and
military in Regency Era England.
►Transportation - A breakdown of the various means of conveyance common at this time, including which were most likely to be used by various classes and ages.
►Women's Clothing & Hairstyles (and Hats) - A breakdown of the popular clothes and hairstyles of the day (hats, too), including which classes wore what. There are a lot of important daily life details here!
►Men's Fashion - What men wore was also very important in this era. I give you the important
details you'll need for your book.
►Hygiene - What people did (and didn't do) in this era to keep clean might surprise you.
►Cosmetics & Toiletries - A basic breakdown of the make-up and body beautification practices of the day.
►Food - Everybody had to eat then, just like now! Find out what they ate (and when).
►Hobbies/Sports - What were the common entertainments and sporting activities of this era?
Leisure was important for the wealthier classes. Find out what they did.
►Crime & Law Enforcement - There's always crime, regardless of the era. Get the details on what was done and how the law was enforced and criminals apprehended.
►Regency Vocabulary - I've compiled a handy list of common era-specific words and phrases to make your writing easier and more authentic.
►I've also included a 'Bottom Line for Writers' portion at the end of each section to give you a kind of cheat sheet (short version) distilling all the main points.
The reviews are in, and people are loving this! Check out what some happy readers have to say:
This report is easily the best all-around Regency reference I've seen for anyone who'd like to write stories set in the early 19th century. You've summarized key elements that make the Regency different from Georgian times and the Victorian Era.
Even better, you've kept this simple with each "Bottom Line for Writers" section related to everyday life of both the English upper and working classes.
Regency fiction has a particular style and context unlike any other. It's not just Jane Austen, London Seasons, and trips to Bath. The wit, social calendar, and manners of that world were extreme and structured. If an author gets it wrong, Pemberley enthusiasts -- including me -- will shriek in horror and post terrible reviews. Your report can prevent that.
This report covers the basics every aspiring Regency author must know to succeed. It's a complete foundation for anyone writing novellas and short reads. For authors working on novels and multi-volume Regency series, you've explained diverse (and important) topics with clear pointers for additional, genre-specific research.
I read Regency novels daily. I own at least a dozen Regency reference books, plus two full notebooks of related, printed articles.
Your full report -- all 82 pages -- is getting its own notebook. On the first read-through, I was already taking notes for future Regency plot twists. Even with my background in Regencies, your "bottom line..." sections highlighted some innovative story ideas that had never occurred to me.
Thank you!
Quickly scanned the PDF, this is the perfect info I needed to get started with historical fiction. I'm looking forward to the workshop, I know it's going to be great!
I LOVE your research on Regency Romance...I've always wanted to write a Regency romance but didn't quite know how to go about it. This research is thorough and really helped to get me going on the right track. Thank you!
Everything I've included has one purpose: to make it as easy as possible for you to write a great Regency Era book without all the tedious research usually required.
Sure, you could do it yourself. Just be aware that I'm a very good researcher and this took me a long time to put together. I'm talking about many hours over several days.
Or, you could pay a researcher to do it for you. That's certainly a viable option. There are many competent researchers for hire online. Something of this scale will run you several hundred dollars, easily. And you're likely to get a lot of extraneous information you don't really need.
Why not skip those alternatives? There's no need for you to spend hours on boring legwork. There's no need for you to pay someone hundreds to do it for you.
It's already done!
I know you want to write a great historical fiction book from the Regency Era.
It's a HOT category!
►There's a ton of money to be made!
►Regency readers are incredibly loyal!
►They can't wait for the next book to come out so they can BUY IT!
I know what's been holding you back. It's fear.
It's scary to think about writing a work of fiction about a totally different time, especially when readers are knowledgeable.
You won't get far if you don't have the necessary information about that period of time at your fingertips.
You need to be totally confident that you'll get it right. And now you will!
But it's a lot to digest, no doubt about it. So I'm including INSTANT ACCESS to my 5-day workshop to help you get started writing your own Regency Era book right away.
►This is for you if you know you need an extra push and some more personal guidance than you'll get from an ebook only.
►This is for you if you're tired of reading ebooks and not doing anything with the info you learned from them.
►This is for you if you want to look back in a week or two and see a finished work of fiction, ready to post to Amazon and make you some money!
►This is for you if you want some cool bonuses that only workshop participants will get! [See below for details]
The workshop will be presented on a blog as text, with a questions/comments area at the end of each day's material so everyone can benefit from the answers.
There will be no video or webinar material.
All workshop material will be available 24/7, so you can access it whenever it's convenient for you.
You DO NOT have to attend anything "live" or change your schedule in any way.
You'll have the opportunity in this workshop to ask any questions that come up and get a quick reply - right there in the workshop post.
Sound good? No - it's great! :)
I know you'll really love it!
Here's what we'll cover each day of this workshop:

We've all been there. You're not alone!
This workshop is the cure. Commit to taking action this time.
Don't worry that you don't have enough experience or aren't a good enough writer. None of that matters for this!
As you saw, there are three excellent & exclusive BONUSES:
1. The 'Hasn't Happened Yet' Timeline.
2. 'Marrying Up' Love Triangle Plot.
3. Regency Romance Chapter-by-Chapter Template.
►You'll be getting a helpful timeline of when important things happened or were invented, so you can avoid mistakes other writers often make that are very embarrassing when readers point them out. This will help you avoid poor reviews, which can kill your book sales!
►You'll also get a Regency Romance plot and instructions on how to modify it for your own unique work of fiction. Again, this is an exclusive bonus only for workshop participants!
►And you'll also receive a chapter-by-chapter writing template to help you write your books faster and more expertly. This bonus alone is worth more than the cost of the workshop!
Normally, you would pay $297.97, but until the timer hits zero, you get both the Regency Era ebook AND instant access to the 5-Day Workshop for 87% off!

It's the second week of the second month in the first year of the second decade of the 1st century in the 3rd millenium. Yes, I did say all of that. It's my first blog of the year and I'm at a loss. Not real sure what I should talk about today. Thursday is the deadline for the Appeal Board to decide if I'm goin to have a job. How does that work? Well, I'll either be getting my clearance back or not. So I'm definitely more irritable then usual. But that's not why I'm blogging today.
For those that really know me, I tend to question things til I get a real answer. If its somethin I actually care about, I will be determined to get an answer. That determination is both a good thing and bad thing. For instance, this whole ordeal wit my clearance is driving me insane cuz I have no idea what's goin to happen. I bugged the paralegal to get answers that she didn't have. That's not a bad thing. I kno someone that used to ask crazy questions to a woman he was interested in cuz he had no idea what they were or what they were aiming to be. That's when it can be bad.
So how does one change his/her personality to keep such things in check? An answer I wish I had. For years I tried to mold my personality into something unique, but I'm pretty much stuck in my ways...which I don't mind for the most part. But then there's times when I do things that even annoy me yet I just have to know. Why does it have to be that way? Why is it so hard to control something so primative?
I decided late last year that 2010 was goin to be a year I release crutches from my life. A year I change who I associate wit and I did a damn good job at first. Yet, here I stand repeating mistakes. I fall for a lot of shit and can't say no as often as I'd like. It's a fucked up situation but all I need is the balls to be an asshole. Then again, that's a personality change I wouldn't be happy wit. It's not me. It's not how I want to be thought of. So I'm stuck wit being a doormat.

PC HealthBoost™ boasts a high conversion rate—6-12% download-to-conversion—tested over the past three years. The software also features a refund rate of about 3% (low for the industry), and 24/7 native U.S./U.K./Australian-based support.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 04, 2013
Software affiliates take note: Boost Software™ is paying software affiliates $150 to take a test run of their cutting-edge registry cleaner, PC HealthBoost™. But what's the catch?
The catch is that Boost Software™ after testing ads, landing pages, and creatives for three years, is finally ready to release its flagship software to the affiliate community at large. Confident that PC HealthBoost™ will outperform similar offers, the company is offering a $150 bonus to all new Boost Affiliates who sell 5 or more downloadable copies of the software.
The offer is open to all affiliates who are new to the Boost Affiliates program, whether they are veterans of performance marketing or new to the affiliate space. The business's owners are offering the bonus to all new members.
How difficult is it to make those sales? According to the Boost Affiliates new affiliates web page, not too difficult. PC HealthBoost™ boasts a high conversion rate—6-12% download-to-conversion—tested over the past three years. The software also features a refund rate of about 3% (low for the industry), and 24/7 native U.S./U.K./Australian-based support.
In addition, the Boost Affiliates program offers a free media course, affiliate link generator, tested graphics and visual creative, tutorials, and an extensive keyword list. Among the graphics are trust seals from companies such as Tucows (5 Stars) and ScanSafe.
Another graphic that seems to inspire trust with consumers is Boost Software's™ status as a Microsoft Gold Partner status in Application Development. PC HealthBoost™ is rated 5 stars by customers at the Microsoft Pinpoint website, and was called "Safer and more stable than your garden-variety registry cleaner" by Brothersoft, from whom it gained the Editor's Pick accolade.
Boost Software was formed in 2009 by super affiliates Amit Mehta and Peter Dunbar. The two had been selling registry cleaners and similar software, and were becoming frustrated with the quality of most offers. Many of those offers seemed to them like "here today, gone tomorrow," products. Even the good offers didn't have technical support that Mehta and Dunbar felt was adequate.
The pair decided to create robust PC optimization software with a robust build and substantial technical support that would have staying power in the PC optimization tool market. They spent over $300,000 developing the software before releasing it in 2010.
Like most business leaders with an affiliate background, Dunbar and Mehta are enthusiastic about continual testing. They test landing pages, creative, and even site graphics on a regular basis in order to achieve PC HealthBoost's™ higher-than-average conversion rate.
The Boost Affiliates program recently began to offer PC HealthBoost™ on the Clickbank network. Clickbank has been in operation since 1998, making it one of the oldest online affiliate networks. Software affiliates interested in earning $150 to promote Boost Software's registry cleaner can learn more at BoostAffiliates.com.
Terms and conditions do apply. The five sales must be from 5 different locations 7 days after your initial sale. Test sales and other sales that you do under your own account do not count. They must be legitimate sales. You may not receive multiple bonuses by using multiple user IDs.
