Volkswagen has been around for more than sixty years. All those years, the maker of the well-loved Kombi van had turned Volkswagen into a household name (since most companies trusted Volkswagen for delivering couriers among many others).
It comes as no surprise why the German brand is working toward the future of transport and mobility. Only recently, the company formed a committee involving the University of Art Brauschweig, the German Post Office and the Volkswagen Group Research. Needless to say, the countless initiatives of this group gave birth to a new concept vehicle especially made for the logistics and delivery industry.
eT! Concept vehicle, as explained by Prof. Dr. Jurgen Leohold, embodies all the basic requirements of customers who are running the courier and delivery services. Also, they have done all the necessary research to help them develop an ideal vehicle for the future. In line with this, the Volkswagen Group Research Director mentioned about focusing on zero emissions driving, semi-automatic driving functions and aesthetically motivated design standards. Leohold also said that his team developed the eT! based on the technologies we have today while also taking inspirations from the previous years.
As a matter of fact, the eT! concept could be the beginning of lightweight commercial vehicles. All the necessary details to deliver semi-automatic, zero-emission and sustainable transportation are applied on the concept.
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety backs up the eT! project. Meanwhile, Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber also has something to say about the concept vehicle. The spokesperson for the Board of Management of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles said that the eT! combines a wide range of innovation that will be highly useful in the field of logistics. That includes semi-automatic and electric driving which will make everyday tasks more systematic. Thus, this type of vehicle is a good concept for the future.
As far as we can tell, the day-to-day work routine of courier drivers and mail delivery personnel will be shorter, safer and made even simple. The eT!'s semi-automatic function can follow the delivery guy from one place to another using the "Follow ME" command. On the other hand, the courier staff can also activate the vehicle's "Come to me" button to send deliveries even without any driver behind the wheels.
Aside from the easy breezy technology, the eT! can be operated using the "drive stick" located at the passenger's side. The concept vehicle also features a standing seat for easier access. In fact, they had done all the necessary adjustments to create a wider door and workspace so that the delivery person can get hold of the parcels more quickly.

Carlton County Attorney resigns as instructor after showing up to class intoxicated
CARLTON, Minn. -- Carlton County Attorney Thom Pertler has resigned as an adjunct instructor at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College after he showed up to class intoxicated.
He tells the Duluth News Tribune he and a friend shared two pitchers of beer before he drove to the class on Minnesota statutes. He says he was embarrassed by his inability to communicate with students.
Pertler says his condition was exacerbated by the pain medication for his injured shoulder.
Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College officials said a complaint was made against Pertler but no disciplinary action was taken. School officials said they couldn't comment further on its Feb. 27 resignation, citing state law.
The 47-year-old has been county attorney since 2005. He started as an adjunct instructor in 2000.

Unanswered: SQLPLUS spool to CSV file
What is the better way that I can export data recordset to a .CSV file from Oracle SQLPLUS?
I want to output the records with comma seperated values to a .CSV file on Unix and "ftp" to a Windows2000 Desktop and open in MSEXCEL.
select * from table1.
I have to schedule this on Unix through cron job and therefore using SQLPlus command scripts to run it.

In an earlier interview with a news site, Ravi Nookala of Sony U.S. told the world that the company won't be making use of Android Wear. Instead, Sony will be focusing on its own smartwatch platform. Accordingly, since time and resources were already invested in the project, they might as well push through with it.
Presently, brands like HTC, LG, Asus and Motorola have announced that they will be working hand in hand with Android Wear. LG's upcoming G Watch and Motorola's Moto 360 are some great examples.
A few days ago, Sony's official Twitter account claimed that it won't be saying no to the possibility of integrating Android Wear in its products. "Lots of talk out there today. We're focused on SW2 & Smartband right now, but door's def not closed to #AndroidWear – early days…" said the tweet.

Police have launched a murder investigation after a 26-year-old woman, believed to be a nurse, was stabbed to death outside a hospital in Blackpool.
Officers received a call shortly before 8.30pm last night reporting that the woman had been attacked as she approached her car in the staff car park of Blackpool Victoria hospital.
She was taken to the hospital's accident and emergency department but had died from her injuries by the time officers arrived.
Lancashire police have appealed for witnesses to help them trace a white man, described as being in his 30s and stocky.
Police believe the woman's attacker, who may have been on a bicycle, was known to her. Detective Superintendent Ian Critchley said: "We have launched a murder investigation following this incident and I would appeal for anyone with information to get in touch with us as a matter of urgency."
A spokesman for the hospital said: "We can confirm that an incident occurred in the grounds of Blackpool Victoria hospital which resulted in a female being seriously injured. She was taken to A&E where she unfortunately died of her injuries.
"The police have been informed and are investigating."
Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or Blackpool police on 01253 407 236.

Stock #213-MWK
Engine: 302 CID V8
Transmission: 4-Speed Manual
Mileage: 24330 ( undocumented )
Body Style: Coupe
Exterior Color: Blue
Interior Color: Black
A true X77 bodied '69 Camaro Z/28 with a 4-Speed! The Z/28 was introduced as the highest performer of the Camaro lineup. With a 302 rated at 290 horsepower and an option of 4-speed manual transmissions, lots of racing, both legal and otherwise, has been done in these machines over the years. This example started life as a Rallye Green, but has since been painted this beautiful coat of Dark Metallic Blue. Unfortunately, as is not uncommon with these street legal racecars, the original "DZ" coded engine was damaged and replaced with a 302 CID engine rebuilt to factory specifications. The M21 4-speed is believed to be original to the vehicle, as well as the 4:88 12-bolt rear axle.
The standard black buckets are in fantastic shape and show minimal wear. The dash layout brings back a time of simplicity with large, easy to read gauges showing your current speed, the time, and engine speed. The lenses are all clear, giving you an unobstructed view to the vitals of your engine. The shifter sits at the perfect altitude to let you dominate the gears. Whether just cruising along, enjoying the sights and sounds of your town, or barreling down the track, hunting for quicker times, this machine does it all...
Options on this beautiful '69 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 include: AM/FM/Cassette, Power Brakes, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, Radial Tires with Raised White Letters, and Rallye Wheels

As summer kicks in lots of other projects take over and Betty stays to the way side...fear not she'll be back later in the year with her friendly bakerettes!
We'll be teaming up with the Craft Guerrilla for a one off event.
Our pop up* vintage tea party will be on hand to quench those thirsty crafters.
So ladies and gentleman make sure you keep those diaries free and come have some tea and cake with us at the East London Craft Guerrilla "Craftea party"! Lots of bunting,sweet tea and delicious cakes to help you keep up your strength while crafting....oooh heaven!!!
Check out our last Vintage tea party blog entry from 2007 http://handsomebetty.blogspot.com/2007/09/saturday-22nd-of-september.html
More info to come soon.
*Please note that the term "Pop up" refers to events that happen sporadically,for a short amount of time and in unusual venues that otherwise would host other types of events or even function as a static high street shop from a big international chain. There seems to be a question of it being an American creation/trend but further reading shows it to be so in the way that it is there,in the States,that it was first made popular and brought to everyone's attention. About a year ago or so POP UP events made it BIG here in the UK but many New York based companies and independents hosted many types of events ranging from boutiques/shopping to restaurants for a longer then we've been doing it...references date back to 1999!
It's now come to the UK and it's proved to be quite popular. Other London based entrepreneurs host similar events. Please do not confuse us with them. We don't want to take anything away from their endeavours as well as take away from ours.
In this years art trail we are hosting an independent,one off event. A pop up tea party.Our first was 4 years ago before it was even called a "pop up" event.So actually we were doing it without even knowing!We're not bothered that others want to take ownership of the name and idea. We wish them luck! Unfortunately the reality is that with technology,globalization and the web ideas spread and get noticed quicker then ever before! So to call "pop up" ventures original and belonging to someone in specific is a little bit arrogant and naive.
Basically it's a marketing tool and was pioneered by mega buck companies as one. Lots of big corporations have used it and now many smaller independents have followed suit. It's a fab idea and we love that so many people have embraced it and made it about alternative choices to mass produced shopping. The amount of joy and liberation such events give not only to the hosts but also to the visitors is amazing.
You might want to read the article featured below so to get a sense of what it's all about and how it started...

text: audio latency Issue: This might not be a big deal to most but today, I went to the Android market looking for a music app, something like NanoStudio for iPhone. I found a lot of 2nd rate loop creation synth nonsense. After trying different free versions of paid software I asked myself "why are there no good music apps for Android?" I emailed the creators of NanoStudio to ask if there are any plans to release an Android version of their software. here is the reply: "Not until they get their act together with audio latency, no. Shame really because NanoStudio's written to be cross platform" This greatly disappointed me. I am a music producer going on 10 years (hip hop, Trip hop, Electronic, etc..) so you can understand my interest in this issue. iphone, iPod have amazing music apps of this sort. Android has nothing close. YouTube - NanoStudio iPhone - First Demo I went here: Issue 3434 - android - need NDK support for real-time low latency audio; synchronous play and record - Project Hosting on Google Code And learned that a great amount of Devs are looking to bring great music apps to Android but because of the audio latency issue with in Android their hands are tied. Maybe if enough of us star the issue Google will listen? I don't normally rant, maybe I was due..


text: I have been looking for a sleeve/pouch style case for my Incredible. I do not want a case with a belt loop. I want one that is very thin that I can put on my phone when I slip it into my pocket or backpack. I do not want a case that attaches to phone. I'm I big fan of Sena cases and they have one like this (they call it the UltraSlim). Here is link to N1 version: Sena Cases - Designer Leather Cases : HTC-Google Nexus One-UltraSlim The N1 is similar in size to the Incredible. Any thoughts on if this will work? Is anyone else aware of any cases like this that will work for Incredible? It has to be tight enough that it does not fall off. I would be interested in neoprene ones as well but I can't seem to find any. Thanks!

If you want to become a fighter pilot, you will not find the tips to become one through most military recruitment campaigns. They want enlisted, not so much officers, but they do want both. If you want to fly the STOVL F-35, you need to become a marine officer. If you want to pilot the standard F-35 without a lift-fan, you want to join either the Navy or the Air Force. Many people will work hard enough to become a fighter pilot, only a few have the physical dimensions and good fortune to become one of these guys.

A special note on the vision. Some will join a military academy young with the hopes of becoming a pilot, only to find out their senior year their vision starts to go 20/30-40 and on. You can still be an officer, but not a pilot. Only after you are an established pilot, may you have the slightest chance of continuing flying with the need for reading glasses... and that's all that they will allow. Don't walk on a beach during a windy day without complete eye protection, etc.
-you can have your vision corrected surgically to become a pilot, but you MUST, MUST have it authorized and notarized by the military, through an ROTC program (or a military school) They currently only allow one method to have your eyes surgically worked on, and it isn't the most painless one.
-If you are serious about becoming a fighter pilot, tell your parents, and make sure they evaluate every SINGLE no matter how minuscule thing they do, and cater it towards becoming a fighter pilot
-Every single thing you do from the moment forward you choose to become a fighter pilot must be calculated, nearly every moment of your life to the point you become a pilot. (no poppy seeds as an example.)
-be the star at your school, gotta aim as high as you can go
-get job experience ASAP
-set the absolute highest standards you can
-physical standards have to be exceptionally high. Not quite Michael Phelps high, but nearly that high.
-study philosophy books about being in the military
Trying to become a fighter pilot is an amazing effort, one that is rewarding even if you do not become one. You are going after something more difficult to become than a medical doctor. Becoming a fighter pilot demands expert-level development from a very early age, you are at about the time you will start. Earlier may have been better, but you still have a chance.
-You HAVE to talk to someone who is a pilot that will give you recommendations on how to live your life.
-If you want to join the Air Force, you have to know someone to become a pilot. Navy and Marines aren't the same. You have to be recommended by your senator to the Air Force to become a pilot. If he recommends a nephew of his instead of you... oh well.
-get A's in school, take the hardest classes (you have quite the competition)
-DO NOT LIE EVER AGAIN. There is such a thing as inappropriately telling the truth, but you cannot lie. There is zero tolerance in the military for that. You can make a mistake and possibly go so far as to being irresponsible once (say getting drunk or failing to meet an obligation), but you CANNOT lie.
-don't expect to become a fighter pilot by becoming a warrant officer. You have a lot going against you. Warrant officers fly helicopters and smaller aircraft at the most (usually). You have to go warrant to lieutenant to accomplish that, and by the time you get there, you may be too old.
-excellent psychological health.
-The military can hold almost everything against you if you do something wrong. Keep note of that.
-Pick your friends wisely. If they drink underage or have a blemish of having done drugs, disassociate with them. No exceptions.
-Avoid using any websites that have less than excellent character standards (like joke websites ...and that other kind of website)
-Ease off myspace and facebook. If you have your name attached to someone who is not a good person... good luck. You cannot afford to have someone post something about you that would kill your chances of becoming a fighter pilot.
Read everything you can about becoming one. No single source will be able to provide all the information you need. I know that at the end of a blue angels airshow or thunderbirds airshow, they will show how normal they are by talking with people at the end of the show. They have a normal demeanor, but they truly are superhuman. Sorry, just the way it is. In fact, I would go so far as to say you may not want to continue using this or any other forum, just in case you get part of a political debate or if you get accused of making a false statement/post/etc. This is a serious commitment.

Start with getting an eye exam by an AME Aviation Medical Examiner (civilian doctor) first . If you have 20/20 now, then do the rest. If you don't have 20/20 now you may as well plan on another career. I could fake 20/20 for the eye exam I got scrubbed by not recovering my night vision fast enough.
But it's been a good diverse career as a USAF engineer.
Remember you can have your vision corrected, but like the guy said above, you may as well plan on another career, and take fighter jets as a second place opportunity. You CAN have your vision corrected, but it will take some luck to be suitable for the surgery. You won't know until after you recover whether you are still a viable candidate. You have to have good night vision as well. I have a mild problem with night myopia, even though my normal daytime vision may be ok enough to be a fighter pilot. Something to fix your vision problems is with eye exercises, by using a marzden ball and other practice by focusing with varying lenses. Sometimes it's just an imbalance in muscle strength with your eyes that needs fixing.
Just remember, the military may not throw recommendations as to what you must be prepared for. They want to see some natural, and not entirely trained ability. You will in a way, be a representative of the country when you are up in that air, and you have to be your best. Find a personal flaw, fix it. Be evaluated again, and fix the next thing. All those neuron connections in your brain have to have the right paths for you to make it. If you meet the recommendations and requirements I have posted with an attitude of competition, great. If you met it with dismay... I'd reconsider, but also develop that way of thinking away. It isn't healthy.
Great thing is, after retiring from being a fighter pilot, you can be on a one-way trip to be paid over 100k a year or more to be an airline pilot. They like to take in ex-military pilots. Airline piloting wouldn't be as time consuming as the military, you'd be paid well on top of your military retirement pay, and it just might be a bit less stressful. (depending on your rank, you could make 25 to 40 dollars an hour for 40 hours a week just for having a pulse... and you don't have to do squat. That's pretty lucrative don't you think? BTW, you don't have to be a fighter pilot to get that, just a modest to high ranking officer, or a high ranking enlisted upon retirement. Some admirals or generals, depending on the military affiliation, will be fishing for trout with their grandchildren while they're making $70000 a year for having a pulse. AND, it's inflation adjusted pay. AND you have health coverage thanks to your government. AND you can go back to college while having it paid for, at least mostly completely paid for. It depends on the coverage. AND your wife or husband will be covered in several ways, unless you get a divorce of course. AND you can still shop on a (exceptionally clean) military base for tax-free products.

heres alittle bit about me I have a 3.6gpa, don't smoke, don't drink, 20/20 vision [got checked last year] I was 1 of 3 soph on the varsity wrestling team, this year i plan to go to state and my senior year im going to win it. My dad and grandpa were Marines. I know im going to join the military after collage i just can't decide on what to be, i know my ASVAB score will decide my MOS but im looking at Force Recon, Marine jet pilot, or Marine attack helicopter pilot. For me once im in the military there's
only two ways out Retire or die.
thanks for all your help.
Sounds good!!! 3.6 gpa is just fine. Higher is always better (everyone knows that), but you seem to pose little concern to me considering it's that high and you are yet to enter your senior year. Good to know you have already been indoctrinated into the military lifestyle, that helps a lot. Were they officers or enlisted? Not that it bears any importance to your chances of getting in. You do not have to reveal everything. I don't recommend it actually.
Just remember, always weigh what you write down on the internet or anywhere else. People tend to believe what they read. It better be a benign truth. You're doing excellent. BTW, get some help from your dad and grandpa for help with physical training. If you're already wrestling, you seem to be on a perfectly fine track already. Gotta do something sports oriented.
There was a show on Discovery Channel about this. They had a group of Canadian pilots competing for a CF-18 squadron position. It's pretty gruelling. One poor guy was near in tears because he kept failing the G test. It's not like the good old days when you got 10hrs training then were strapped into a Spitfire to kill some Nazis. I think the show was called Jetstream. It might be available on DVD.

An international day of celebration and protest, solidarity and struggle
May Day: International workers' day
May 1886 - Chicago, USA - "The Haymarket Affair"
May 1st 1886 had been set by the American Federation of Labour as the date by which they wanted the eight hour day to be introduced. Demonstrations and strikes in support of the campaign reached a peak on that day. Two days later a meeting of strikers in Chicago was fired on by the local police, killing several and wounding many more. The following day a peaceful rally was held. When the police moved to break it up a bomb was thrown, killing a policeman and the gunfire that followed killed and wounded both police and workers. It was admitted later that most of the police injuries and fatalities were caused by 'friendly fire'.
Eight anarchist leaders were arrested for the bomb throwing, although there was no evidence that they were in any way responsible. They were all found guilty and four were executed, and a fifth committed suicide in prison. These became known as the "Chicago Martyrs".
The American Federation of Labour (AFL) decided to have a mass demonstration on May 1st 1889. AFL president Samuel Gompers wrote to the Congress of the Second International proposing an international agitation for an eight hour working day. The Congress agreed a resolution calling for "a great international demonstration" in support of the eight-hour day. It was agreed that the following May 1st would be that day.
May 1st 1890 was the First International Labour Day and demonstrations were held in U.S. the as well as Australia and countries all over Europe, including Britain.
Each subsequent year more and more cities and countries held rallies and demonstrations.
For example,
1892 - Brazil
1893 - Greece
1896 - Russia
1907 - Chile
1918 - Indonesia
1920 - Egypt
1924 - India
1922 - China
1923 - Japan.
However people have not always been allowed to celebrate May Day freely. In 1929 in Germany, May Day demonstrations were forbidden, and police fired on demonstrations that did take place, killing and injuring many.
In Britain in 1949 and 1950, May Day demonstrations were banned in London, although they still took place.
Some of what are thought of as the older May Day traditions continued, for example dancing around the Maypole and Morris dancing.
Walter Crane was an artist who did much to further the celebration of May Day. He created beautiful drawings which were used on leaflets to publicise May Day and published as the covers of May Day editions of different newspapers.
Most were in Justice, the paper of the Social-Democratic Federation, but others appeared in the Clarion and Labour Leader, the paper of the Independent Labour Party. These drawings incorporated the earlier concepts of May Day and "Merrie England" with the ideas of international socialism. Some of his well known designs are :
- The Solidarity of Labour (1888)
- The Workers' Maypole (1894)
- A Garland for May Day (1895),
- Flowers for Labour's May Day (1898).
In Britain there was disagreement over whether May the First or the first Sunday in May should be the day of celebration, and there were marches in London on both these days. This was before May Day became a public holiday in 1978, although the holiday is the first Monday in May, not 1st May necessarily.
And there is still variation in the day when the celebrations and demonstrations take place; sometimes it is the Monday, but sometimes the previous Saturday or Sunday.
In the United Kingdom support for May Day demonstrations has varied over the years. In 1926, on the eve of the General Strike, there were much larger demonstrations than in previous years.
In 1933 there were marches against fascism and war, and in 1937 against fascism and for support for Spain. Again, in 1938, there were huge demonstrations in London, with the theme of support for the Spanish Republic.
In 1945 the May Day rallies celebrated the overthrow of fascism in Germany and Italy.
Types of resouces held at the Library
There are programmes of May Day events dating from 1926, although not all years are represented, for Burnley, Chesterfield, London, Salford and many other places. From these we can see what are the themes are for that particular year, eg 'The 8 hour day', 'Peace', 'Defeat of Fascism', 'Support for Spain', or 'Public Services'.
We have many flyers advertising these events. There are also leaflets to be handed out at the events, on various aspects of May Day, or on what is relevant on that particular May Day.
We hold books, pamphlets and newspaper articles about the history and meaning of May Day, throughout the world. We also have copies of the 1897 and 1907 editions of Walter Crane's Cartoons for the Cause which are compilations of his May Day drawings.

May 2014: May Day leaflet, 1900
The 'May Day International Labour Festival' combined tradition with solidarity of labour. An estimated 12,000 people and 150 associations connected with the Social Democratic Federation and London Trades Council gathered to enjoy maypole dancing, cycling, athletic sports and tug of war, alongside a banner competition, socialist choirs, six platforms featuring 'all principal speakers of the movement', and 'The Great International Labour Meeting'.

Hyundai Motors and affiliate Kia Motors Corp on Friday announced that has named Kim Hae-jin as new chief of research and development, just a month after Kwon Moon-shik and two other executives resigned over a huge recall in the U.S. and South Korea.
Kim Hae-jin, 56, was head of engines and transmission development; he will report to Yang Woong-chul, Hyundai's vice chairman for research and development.
Back in April, Hyundai and its affiliate Kia Motors recalled more than 1.7 million cars in the United States for cruise control problems (cruise control not disengaging) and some malfunctions that may prevent brake lights from illuminating.
On the same time, Kia and Hyundai have also recalled about 160,000 vehicles in South Korea for the same issues.
On Friday Hyundai said: "This new appointment is aimed at solidifying our quality management".
The company also changed two executives in charge of engineering and electronics technology.
Last year, Hyundai, the largest carmaker in South Korea spent more than $1.5 billion on research and development projects. That's about 1.9 percent of its revenue. By contrast, BMW, the world's largest premium carmaker spent 5.2 percent of its revenue on research and development programs.

Oh, yes. I really am a gigantic idiot*. Let me tell you why.
Yesterday. Went to the Y and did weight machines, two different types of bicep-training ones. Put on the most weight that I though I could handle so that I'd work my muscles to exhaustion like you're supposed to. Then I went swimming. Did 800 meters. Worked on my breaststroke (first time!) and the crawl.
Did all that the day before Starting Block's Urban Orienteering Race.
And I crocheted a bunch yesterday and pretty much all day today. Not typically heavy arm work-out, but I could feel it in my arms today for sure.
And tonight we ran 6.5 miles in the race. And I carried a water bottle, flashlight, and sometimes a clip board during the 2-hour downtown-Springfield scavenger hunt of a race.
I can't bend my arms past 90 degrees without sharp, cuss-word inducing pain in the part of my bicep just before the crook of my elbow. But this is not the end of my attempt to convince you I am idiot. Lots of people over-train or occasionally forget to plain their workouts around races.
So when I got home, I took some NSAIDs (under supervision of the best doc in the world**), showered, inspected some chafing in sensitive places and applied the requisite Body Glide, and then went downstairs to heat up my rice heating pad thingy. Which had some safety pins on it from the last time I used it. I did not notice these before I put it in the microwave. I believe the relevant equation here is
metal + microwave = BAD
Yep, that's it. Here's the picture evidence. Look for the nasty black lines around the edge of the rotating tray. (Click for a larger view.)
Heard crackling. Remembered seeing those pesky pins and stopped the microwave. Reached to unhook the pins so I could throw the heating pad back in the microwave.
Well, guess what. Even when metal has only been in the microwave for 17 seconds, it is hot enough to burn you. Now I have a little white line on the side of my index finger exactly the width of a safety pin.
So, here I sit. Rice heating pad thingy balancing on my biceps, holding an ice cube between my index and middle finger. Typing with one hand.
See. Gigantic Idiot. I told you.

National Novel Writing Month, or NaNo for short, has begun. Yesterday to be precise. And I missed it. I had a family emergency sprout up that took the entire weekend to resolve and so I ended up without logging (even for my own benefit) any writing time.
But you know what? That's ok. I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'm not out to try and "win" NaNo. By that I mean that I'm not going to try and kill myself to make the 50k words in 30 days goal that defines NaNo. I will do my best to get close but pushing myself to frustration to be able to cut and paste a "I Won NaNo!" button on my home blog isn't worth it. That's not MY goal.
My goal is simple: to sit down and write something every day. I have one idea that is my NaNo project, but I have a few other projects that I would really like to work on and finish as well. So, I plan on writing a little on my NaNo Project, then working a little on another smaller project and getting it completed. No, that doesn't follow the NaNo contest guidelines but so what? Isn't the whole premise of NaNo to get you writing? What does it matter if it's one new project or an older one? As long as you are writing every day and reaching whatever reasonable word count goal you have set for yourself, I don't see that WHAT you write matters all that much.
So, what is my NaNo project? I am taking on and retelling King Lear. I was inspired this past September after I watched Sir Ian McKellen's 2008 performance of Lear. His portrayal of the mad King sparked an idea that I ruminated on for at least a week before realizing I was prepping my story already. I had most of my characters and scenes began playing out in my head. All I had to do was write them down. That's where NaNo comes in.
Thanks to NaNo I had to hold off on actually sitting down and writing the story. Because I had to wait to begin writing until November, I was forced to actually prep. I had some research to do (I still have research to do). There were character sketches I wanted to write out. And, horror of all horrors, I actually began outlining! A natural pantser (thanks to writing poetry…A LOT of poetry), I was outlining…in my head. I know. I can't believe it either. But I did.
I don't have all the mechanics worked out. But I have enough that it didn't matter that I missed writing yesterday. As far as I'm concerned, all of my prepping (which includes writing about 500 words of a summary that could be a possible opening chapter) should count towards my first day work. I sat my butt down and wrote every day in October. Granted, it was for a poetry challenge but I still sat down and wrote. I also did lots of reading, on my subject and off it. I planned, I plotted, I wrote. (Google Translate says that is: "Aluero, confirmaro insidiatus scripsi" in Latin.) As far as I'm concerned, I have made a great start. And let's face it, we're going to need all the little bits of encouragement and support as November marches on and NaNo becomes a pain in the butt to get through.
So, a few tips.
- Don't beat yourself up if you don't make your daily word count. Some days you are going to have a word count euphoria while others you might manage two words.
- Take breaks. Get up and walk around. Go for a walk outside if it's nice. Make a cup of coffee or tea. But take a break. Get your mind off of writing for a bit. It will help if you come back to your writing with a fresh mind.
- Reward yourself, even for small goals. Basically, be your own cheerleader. Do something kind for yourself like having a piece of chocolate (or your preferred delectable treat) or watching a movie (see tip #2).
- Ignore all your natural inclinations to surf the web and social media sites. Set your phone to vibrate or turn it off completely if it's a big distraction. It's a proven non-scientific fact that once you sit down in front of your computer to write you find a hundred other things to do instead of actually writing. So, put on the blinders and turn off the distractions.
- Remember that "winning" NaNo is NOT the goal. Writing every day is.
NaNo is a good exercise in dedication. It's helpful in that it forces you to try and make a habit out of writing every day. And if you are sincere and determined to be a writer, then writing every day is not just a necessity, it's your writing oxygen. Even the great writers knew it. Practice makes perfect isn't just an adage, it's a well-known fact of every craft.
Here's to hoping you've made a great start to NaNo! Happy writing this week!

Fishermen blocking the towpath
Josher replied to Chertsey's topic in Fishing, Cycling and WalkingWell at least they are not blocking the car park - not here anyway! Wednesday 14 March 2012 Canal lock out anger Wigan Today A WIGAN canal has been restocked with fish - despite anglers being locked-out! Fisherman were delighted when the watchdog Environment Agency announced a scheme this week to boost their sport by pouring more than 4,000 gleaming juvenile coarse fish into the Leeds and Liverpool to revive an area blighted by pollution. But this has now turned to anger because British Waterways (BW) are refusing to unlock the gates to a fisherman's car park on canal land near the towpath which has been the centre of a long running dispute. The national canal owning body - which became a charity earlier this year - installed the barrier following a rash of fly tipping on the car park. There were also two separate incidents of joy riders using the car park access to drive stolen cars into the canal waters. They have subsequently refused to remove the bar-barrier despite a long battle with the fishing club who paid for and built the car park on BW land in the first place more than four years ago. Now the anglers are threatening to challenge British Waterway's newly acquired charity commission status over the issue because it means that only fit and younger fisherman will be able to carry all their baulky equipment to the canalside. Angling Trust Wigan member John Weedon also claims the continuing closure is illegal because it breaches the terms of the Disabled Discrimination Act because it effectively bans disabled anglers from being able to access the rejuvenated canal length to enjoy their hobby. Mr Weedon, who lives nearby in Abram, says that there is no reason why BW can't operate a key system at Dover Lock as a number of other land owners who lease fishing rights on their waters successfully do. He also points out that the Dover Lock car park is a key access point to the Plank Lane/Wigan Pier canal towpath walkway the council have spent "hundreds of thousands" creating. Mr Weedon, 68, said: "It has annoyed everybody around here. And I have lost count of the number of times I have had my ear bent by anglers about it. It was locked a couple of years ago and there is just no way that Waterways will move on it. The car park may be on Waterways land but it was built and paid for by Ashton Centre of Northern Anglers and I think that they are being treated appallingly. Keeping this gate locked is completely against the Disabled Discrimination Act and I have worked with the DDA for more years than I can remember supplying briefings on behalf of disabled anglers and I am at a loss to know how they have got away with it for so long." A spokesman for the Environment Agency said that they had no jurisdiction over the management of the angler's car park at Dover Lock. She confirmed: "Following a pollution incident in the Leeds Liverpool Canal a number of years ago, the Environment Agency has recently restocked around 4,000 fish into this section of canal. Roach and Perch have been put into this section of canal to help re-establish the fish stocks, and help to improve angling in the area." British Waterways had no one available to comment.
Selly Oak ..
Josher replied to Josher's topic in Waterways NewsLatest ... Selly Oak Canalside store plans unveiled Birmingham Mail Mar 12 2012 SUPERSTORE giant Sainsbury has drawn up fresh plans for a city store which includes the restoration of a historic canal. A revised planning application for the development of the former Battery Park site in Selly Oak has been submitted to the city council. The derelict acre site will get a new major superstore, doctors surgery, offices, a shopping and entertainment complex with restaurants and bars, student flats, a canalside piazza and a low energy combined heat and power generator. About 3,000 jobs will be created through the development. Plans were revised following consultation with residents during the autumn and will be put on show next weekend. Neil Carron, of Land Securities, Sainsbury's partner on the development, said: "Thanks to the initial consultation we have been able to identify aspects of the plans that needed to be reviewed. This has resulted in a revised proposal which will transform Selly Oak into a vibrant destination, while also creating 3,000 much needed jobs." Development manager for Sainsbury's Kevin Macmillan added: "The public exhibition is a chance for the local community to see the revised plans. So we strongly urge residents to come along and view the proposals and see for themselves the considerable benefits this development will bring to Selly Oak." Changes include a new road layout, a canal link revising the historic Lapal Canal route, improvements to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal basin, fewer shops and more places to eat and drink, environmental improvements and a new doctor's surgery. There will also be some spin-off investment in Bournbrook Recreation Ground and Selly Oak Library. The full proposals will be unveiled at a public exhibition at the Christian Life Centre on Bristol Road on Friday, March 16, between 2pm and 7pm and on Saturday, March 17, between 10am and 1.30pm.
No dogs? - perhaps not indoors, but we sat outside in the sunshine with our dog. No problem at all, staff including the landlord were about and our dog is pretty had to ignore!

Wates will work with restoration contractors William Anelay, which has already carried out initial enabling works to make the site safe and ensure each of the elements are recorded. Subject to planning consent, restoration of the 19th Century open pan salt works will begin in April. John Shannon, business unit director of Wates Construction in the North West, said: "We are delighted to have been chosen as partners on this restoration project, which will see us working within Marston's community. We have extensive experience in heritage refurbishment and are committed to ensuring the redevelopment of this Scheduled Ancient Monument will be led with the utmost care and commitment." Cllr Stuart Parker, member for culture and recreation, said: "With a track record spanning 40 years in the restoration of cultural and heritage buildings, we are confident that Wates brings the expertise a project of this sensitivity demands. Industrial archaeologist Chris Hewitson will be responsible for monitoring, investigating and recording the buildings and finds unearthed during excavations. The salt works is expected to re-open in spring 2014 as a 'living museum', providing a unique insight into a period in history when Cheshire produced 86% of the nation's salt. Visitors will be able to explore the restored buildings, discover how the salt works operated and find out how the industry impacted upon Cheshire's people, economy and landscape. The project is being funded by a £5m Heritage Lottery Fund grant and a £3m contribution from the council. Lion Salt Works was established in 1894 by the Thompson family and remained in their ownership through five generations. Salt was produced by evaporating brine over an open fire in large lead pans. It ceased trading in 1986 and was purchased by the former Vale Royal Borough Council. A Scheduled Ancient Monument, it is the last open pan salt works in the UK and one of only three remaining in the world. The planning application is due to be considered by the council's planning committee on 20 March.
Marina plans revealed
Josher replied to Josher's topic in Waterways NewsLatest ... Jobs hope for Northwich Marina development 14th February 2012 The Business Desk Northwich Marina development H2O, the joint venture company between British Waterways and private developer bloc, has submitted plans to redevelop Northwich Marina in Cheshire. The firm said that it had received "strong support" for a scheme which could create 230 jobs during a consultation exercise with local residents. More than 750 members of the public attended a public exhibition and of the 170 who left comments, 82% offered full support while a further 14% expressed support with some reservations. H20 plans a scheme that will invlde an 18,000 sq ft Waitrose foodstore and parking for town centre shoppers, improvements to waterways including 40 mooring berths for boats, new waterside restaurant and cafe facilities and a retirement village with 58 new homes and a restaurant designed for the elderly. Richard Thomas, director of bloc and development manager for H2O, said: "These proposals will regenerate a long underused and mostly vacant site that has severe constraints to development. This is an opportunity to deliver a significant phase of the town's regeneration plans in a relatively short timescale, as well as providing a potential catalyst for future phases of regeneration in Northwich." Mike Coates, British Waterways' northern investment & development manager, said: "The proposed improvements to the waterways have received very strong support from residents and waterways users. The proposals will give public access to Northwich's new waterfront and will enable us to maintain and enhance the waterways network for the benefit of all users." Geoff Hope-Terry, chair of Weaver Valley Partnership, said: "Northwich's rivers are part of its unique heritage offering and these proposals will play a key part in transforming the town's future."
HS2 Rail link petition
Josher replied to Emerald's topic in General BoatingNew canal bridge plan for narrowboats Wednesday 11th January 2012, Express and Star Plans for a railway bridge over a Staffordshire canal have been revised to make more room for narrowboats to pass underneath. The bridge is part of the controversial high speed rail line that will cut through the countryside. Changes were made to the route of the £32 billion line, including more tunnels in the Chilterns, prior to approval being given yesterday by the Government. The route is due to see the 225mph trains crossing the Trent and Mersey Canal twice in close proximity near to Woodend Lock above Fradley Junction. But the plans were revised to make more space for boats. Staffordshire County Council and Lichfield District Council had both objected to the high speed rail line amid concerns from residents about the effect on the countryside. North of Lichfield the high-speed line will require a 1,607ft retaining wall to be built close to Vicar's Coppice followed by a 672ft viaduct near Fulbrook Farm along with a 311ft retaining wall. The proposed route passes close to the villages of Whittington, Streethay and Hints, where residents and businesses say their lives will be devastated. Michael Fabricant, Conservative MP for Lichfield, said the changes to the bridge were welcome but added: "As a keen narrowboater I am obviously pleased to know there will still be traffic able to use the canal and there has been a clear commitment given to mitigate the impact on surrounding neighbourhoods. But a number of my constituents will be disappointed by this decision, to go ahead with the high speed rail line."

Josher replied to ditchcrawler's topic in General BoatingFrom the BBC 6 January 2012 Last updated at 09:32 River Avon reopened under Bath's Victoria Bridge Bright orange buoys stop river traffic from sailing underneath the Victoria Bridge on the River Avon in Bath Bridge owners Bath and North East Somerset Council want the listed structure reopened by 2013 A section of the River Avon in Bath, which had been closed to boats amid fears about the safety of a footbridge, has been reopened. Victoria Bridge, which was used by pedestrians and cyclists, was closed in October 2010 but last November the towpath and river underneath was shut. Emergency stabilisation work carried out by Bath and North East Somerset Council has now been completed. River users have been warned the headroom is now 0.5m (20in) lower. A spokesman for British Waterways said the stretch was now open to river traffic, but he advised "caution" because of the high level of water in the river due to recent heavy rain. The Liberal Democrat-led council wants to have the listed bridge reopened by winter 2013. A spokesman said it was working on a three-phase solution to protecting it, which included emergency works, temporary works and full restoration. He added it was expected the works would cost some £3m, which would be paid out of council reserves or loans. The towpath remains shut until further notice.
Narrowboat home is lost under waves
Josher posted a topic in General BoatingSad but all still smiling! Friday 6 January 2012 Goole Courier SINKING: Norman and Pauline Brown with their cat Sammy and dog Billy. Their Narrow Boat sank at Rawcliffe Bridge. AN elderly couple lost their home, after 15 foot waves on a district canal caused their narrowboat to sink. Pauline and Norman Brown, whose barge sank at Rawcliffe Bridge last Wednesday, were just able to save their pet cat and 24 year old dog, Billy, before their boat, Little Nell, met its watery end. "It was just freak weather," said Norman, aged 69. "It was around 2pm and the weather changed dramatically. The water was very rough and the waves were ten and 15 feet high. They burst the canopy at the front of the boat and then the water started to get into the barge." Norman heroically managed to steer Little Nell to the bank, and was then able to get Pauline, and pets Billy and Sam to shore. "But the boat didn't go without a fight," Norman said. "We got to the riverbank and it took her about half an hour to go down. We tried to save her but she sank about half an hour after we got on dry land." The couple have been living on their narrowboat, which they bought 25 years ago, for the past eight years and had travelled from the Blue Water Marina at Thorne, where Little Nell was berthed, to spend the New Year at Rawcliffe Bridge. "It was very bad luck really," Norman continued. We were just 100 yards away from the marina when it happened. If we'd got in there, we'd have been safe." They are still waiting to hear which of their possessions are salvageable. We'll have to wait until they've got the boat to the surface before we know anything," Norman said. "It is our home, so everything we own was on there." However, the kindness of their fellow boat enthusiasts and the people of Rawcliffe Bridge were the silver lining on the couple's storm cloud. The owner of the Blue water Marina is lending them a narrowboat to live on temporarily, until their insurance cash comes through and Paul Smith, owner of the village's Black Horse pub, put them up for free whilst they stayed in Rawcliffe Bridge. Fellow boat lover Nigel Lipp attempted to help the couple save the boat and also gave them the use of his motorhome as they faced their first night of homelessness. "I could see they needed a bit of help and if you see people in trouble you help don't you?" Nigel, who also lives on his boat, said: "We tried to secure the boat but it was too far gone by then and we just had to watch it sink. It must be upsetting for them to lose their home."
Olympic Moorings Restrictions Announced
Josher replied to Tim Lewis's topic in General BoatingFrom 3 July to 10 September 2012 a mooring control zone will be in place on the following: Regent's Canal, from Little Venice to Limehouse Basin; Hertford Union Canal; Limehouse Cut; River Lee Navigation from Bow Locks to above Hackney Marshes (Lea Bridge Road). Anyone who doesn't have a home mooring or hasn't pre-booked a visitor mooring will be asked to leave these zones for the duration of this period. Wow theres a blow Guess some of the C&Cers will have to remember how to start their engines 14Skipper Lucky guess? Houseboaters being 'forced out' from Olympics area. River Lea residents claim they are being priced out and uprooted from their community by British Waterways Friday 30 December 2011 Hackney Citizen 'Continuous cruising' boats will have to pay over £100 a week to moor in the controlled zone during the Olympics. British Waterways (BW) has been accused of "forcing out" Hackney's boaters after it announced plans to limit mooring times and impose fines for overstaying in an area close to the Olympic site. The organisation, which looks after waterways including the Regent's Canal and River Lea, wants those who live on narrowboats to buy visitor passes, some costing in excess of hundreds of pounds per week, to moor in a specially designated zone close to the site. British Waterways said the measures were necessary to cover the costs of increased security in the area and to ensure all boaters had a chance to book spots close to where the London 2012 Games will take place. But Hackney boater Frank Kelly, who has to regularly attend Homerton Hospital due to health problems, said the requirement was unreasonable. He said: "Our boats are our homes. It's an entirely reasonable thing to expect to live in our homes, to be able to access our jobs, GPs and healthcare, and interact with our chosen community, and not be separated from that." While boaters with permanent moorings will be unaffected, continuous cruiser craft such as Mr Kelly's, which are required by law to make a journey around BW's network once every two weeks, will have a particularly tough time avoiding the so-called Controlled Mooring Zone (CMZ). View British Waterways Olympic 2012 Exclusion Zone in a larger map Here Mr Kelly, who has started a social media protest campaign backed by dozens of other boaters, said he had no problem with restrictions being put in place around the Olympic Stadium but felt British Waterways was trying to profit from paid moorings – a claim the organisation rejects. He said: "We're happy to move within a reasonable area, and our movements take us out of the area briefly, but that's different from being forced out for two or three months." A British Waterways spokesperson said: "We're not looking to profit in any way. It is likely we will just be covering the costs of the extra security we'll be required to provide for the slots. We want everyone in the country to have the same fair chance to book one of these spots when they're coming to enjoy the Olympics. "Boaters within the zones as well have the opportunity to book these spots — if they decide to do that, they will be staying within the zone. Otherwise, we're working very hard with the local groups to make convenient mooring spots available outside the zone." British Waterways' plans mean boaters will require a visitor pass on what is essentially the entirety of Regent's Canal, along with Lea River south of Lea Bridge. Some fear this will push boaters without a permanent mooring west of Little Venice near Paddington and north of Lea Bridge Road in Hackney. British Waterways said the Controlled Mooring Zone had been created in conjunction with the police, requiring the organisation to have records of all craft travelling within the zone during the Olympics. The spokesperson added: "The police have asked us also to set up a wider control zone across the waterways in London — they want us to have a record of everyone who comes into and out of that zone, and who is within the zone. There will be checkpoints so the police will have the security of knowing who's on the waterways at the time." The police said discussions about the Controlled Mooring Zone were ongoing.

Burslem Port Project
Josher replied to Josher's topic in Waterways NewsProgress... Restoration of Burslem branch canal will cost £51.5m less than forecast Friday, December 30, 2011 The Sentinel The empty Burslem Branch Canal, pictured in 1962. WORK to reinstate part of a former canal will cost £51.5 million less than forecast. Government agency Renew North Staffordshire had priced the restoration of the Burslem Branch Canal at £56 million. But a study by engineering firm AECOM has predicted that the design and construction of the Burslem Arm will cost £4.5 million; one-12th of the original sum. It is estimated that an additional £1 million will then be needed to rebuild a footbridge and historic warehouse along the stretch. It is a major breakthrough after a 16-year fight to reconstruct the canal at Middleport. David Dumbleton, aged 75, who is a trustee and project officer for the Burslem Port Trust, said: "I am absolutely delighted that the hard work is starting to pay off. "This is an important step for the project, but there are still many challenges ahead. We believe the project can be completed within 18 months of receiving funding." The Burslem Branch Canal, which runs along Furlong Lane, opened in 1805 and closed after a major breach in 1961. If plans go ahead, the Burslem Arm will once more be a branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal. Trust member Roger Savage said: "The new study has given us the plans we need to submit and the cost for digging up the canal area. We were originally quoted such a large sum because we were told we would have to put costs aside to buy land, but this is no longer the case. We are delighted to hear that the cost is not going to be as much as expected, because when you compare it to £56 million it's quite a small figure. This project will bring regeneration to Middleport." It is estimated that 27,000 narrowboats and boats sail along that stretch of the canal every year. Mr Savage, who is also chairman of the Stoke-on-Trent branch of the Inland Waterways Association, added: "We are looking for funding to ensure that the project can go ahead, including a potential bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund."

not easy
Hahahahaha ... what do I think? I think that most investors are crazy ... because many of them would rather leave an apartment vacant, even if over long period, instead of dropping a little in rent to ensure rental income ...
What do I think?
I think you agents have a complete lock on this industry in Beijing, and you do nothing to make it better. I think you're thieves, liars, and contribute NOTHING to the process of finding an apartment or making life easier in Beijing. You just add a layer of complexity and headache that shouldn't be there in the first place. I think you're rent-seekers who make life impossible for people. I think you're basically mafia. I think you're scammers who've squeezed every independent operator out of the process.
Are there good agents? Sure, somewhere, probably. I haven't met one.
Consider how hard it is to find an independent landlord in Beijing. Consider how every advertisement on every housing website is guaranteed to lead to a bait and switch operation. Consider how in the information age, when it should be easier than ever before for me to find a phone number, contact a landlord, and comparison shop, I can't even find a photograph of an apartment that's genuine. If I want an apartment, I have to pay you a deposit I'll never get back, and a fee on top of that for getting lied to.
My list of bad experiences is too long to recount. And people who know me know I'm not picky. I'm happy to fix things myself, I take good care of the apartments I live in, and I pay my rent on time. I'm tired of broken air conditioners, crappy furniture I can't get rid of, and everyone telling me there's a service charge when the contract says there isn't one.
Agents in this city add no value at all. Instead, they dilute the resources that should make finding an apartment easy until they're useless, then charge you unbelievable sums of money for allowing you access to what should be free.
You parasites can all go fuck yourselves. Including you, June. Get out of my internets.
And they say English teachers are bad...
Investment speculation is the root cause of housing woes. Give me a social problem and I will find a way to blame capitalism.
Real estate agents are just a convenient scapegoat of the petty bourgeoisie. But who doesn't like a convenient scapegoat?
I'm a real estate agent and I look for private owners on the web=) However it isn't true to tell agents make things more complicated: Just try to figure the energy you would have to spend to find an apartment in any area of Beijing you don't know, seeing place after place without any guarantee or professional advice.... (I assume you're using a professionnal who knows his stuff). The agents trolling with fake pictures on the web(hilarious when you know your stuff) also doesn't explain by itself that there are such a few small owners adds.....not everyone can or want use the web to rent out. Also: Agents don't have any responsibility on Beijing construction business being rotted by corruption and incompetence. But our duty is to point potential issues to tenants.
That's a rather complicated attempt at justifying your existence, and it comes up rather short. I've found four apartments in Beijing, and only once did I use an agency; even then, the agent didn't really do anything and the only reason I paid him his fee was because he was a nice fellow. All he did was place an ad on thebeijinger, answer a phone, and walk with me from the subway to the apartment. That's nice, but not worth several thousand RMB.
I've had far more success renting properties more-or-less directly from the owners (or the owners' surrogates) by finding renters who want to end their leases prematurely. The tenants then tell the owners that I'm a friend taking over for the duration of the rental contract. The upshot of this is that owners are also less likely to significantly raise rents for subsequent leasing contracts when dealing with a new tenant who ostensibly knows what their "friends" were paying the previous year.
(This method of searching for rentals is eminently useful for dirt-poor hipster expats like myself.)
You can blame construction companies for incompetence or developers for corruption, but half-assed appeals to the vague expertise of your "professional advice" or to flimsy "guarantees" are not compelling; as long as the law favors developers over consumers, there's little incentive for anyone in the real estate agency to be honest or competent. At best, real estate agents are obscurantist middle-men oiling the gears of a bureaucratic machine that alienates the people from the land.
We're not doing the same business...I'm more the kind of real estate agents that works his ass on whole East Chaoyang/Dongcheng/Shunyi etc.
I'm sure you work your ass in a lot of upscale neighborhoods. That's why I'd never insult you by comparing you to the common streetwalking agent I was talking about. No, when you meet someone at the subway, you escort him to the property. That's way classier.
The "nice fellow" who doesn't get paid much but can make ten times its salary in thirty minutes just because some SOHO was build 200 meters from his office is very far from what I do.
Cool story, bro.
Of course direct owners are the best option to keep the price down if you can speak Chinese and know how to negociate a bit, but you'll miss a lot more apartments, that's a fact.
I don't know what kind of clients you deal with, but most of us only need one apartment. I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
Hahahahaha .. of course they do, of course they do ...
You just say that to justify the real estate phenomenon of taking clients to two or three utterly shitty apartments before showing them one halfway decent one.
