Police officer fires shot as thieves make off with radar
A policeman fired a shot early yesterday as he tried to stop thieves driving away with stolen speed detector equipment. The radar - worth between $600,000 and $700,000 - was grabbed from a roadside post where a sergeant was using it and destroyed as the thieves escaped.
It was believed the equipment was seized by illegal road racers who in the past have smashed detector equipment with baseball bats in revenge for previous arrests, a police source said.
The radar - used by the force since 1980 - was set up on a section of the Kowloon-bound lane of Tsuen Wan Road commonly used for illegal racing. It was manned by a sergeant working on his own, while colleagues were operating another post on the opposite side with a laser gun.
Senior Superintendent Philip Woolcote-Brown from New Territories South traffic unit said the operation had been mounted after complaints of speeding cars.
At about 3.15am, a white car approached the sergeant's guard post. The officer gave chase as a man grabbed the tripod and ran back to the car. Assistant Kwai Tsing district commander (crime) Superintendent Dennis Wong Fook-lam said: 'The car stopped and then moved forward at high speed. The sergeant fired a single shot as it tried to ram him. It stopped near him and then reversed again to Texaco Road where it disappeared.'
He said the tripod was on the car's rear passenger seat but the radar equipment, including the camera, battery and printer, were hanging outside the vehicle and were smashed and scattered on the road as the car sped off. The tripod was later found abandoned outside Chun Sing Industrial Estate in Kwai Fuk Road, Kwai Chung.
'It appeared the culprits did not want to steal [the camera] but try to damage it. Although the radar equipment is worth between $600,000 and $700,000, no one would want to buy it,' Mr Wong said.

McNISH: YOU HAVE TO BEAT LE MANS
Allan McNish has raced to Le Mans enough to know that the greatest challenger to overall victory never ends. It's not another car, another driver or another team. It's Le Mans itself.the track, the endurance, the weather, the history and even the past.
It's the past that McNish wants to beat the most. The tenacious Scot has been coming to Le Mans since 1997, missing the race from 2001-2003 while in Formula 1. After crashing early in his debut race McNish scored victory the next season in a works Porsche 911 GT1, the first of what many thought would be multiple victories in the world's greatest sports car race.
Or at least that was conventional thinking. Le Mans has been the albatross around McNish's neck that he hopes to rid himself of 10 years after that glorious win with Laurent Aiello and Stephane Ortelli. He gets his next crack this weekend in the diesel-powered Audi R10 TDI he shares with Dindo Capello and Tom Kristensen, teammates who have a combined nine overall wins at Le Mans.
Last year the trio seemed to be on their way to an easy victory before a broken wheel sent Capello off the circuit with eight hours left. It was a crushing blow for McNish and the rest of the No. 2 crew.
"Since 1998, I have led in every race here at Le Mans," McNish said. "Last year we had a three-and-a-half lap lead after 16 hours and then all went wrong. So sitting here in advance you can never say if you will be on top of the podium or even finish the race. You have to beat Le Mans before you beat any of your competitors. And beating Le Mans is the hardest part of it."
This year's race is even more of a challenge with three factory Peugeot diesels being the biggest threat to Audi's dominance that has seen seven Le Mans victories in eight years. McNish, Capello and Kristensen will start fourth, the best of the Audis but still behind all three Peugeots. But as McNish knows all too well, anything can and usually does happen.
"Le Mans is such an unique race - a very special circuit, 24 hours, so many miles," he said. "It's like a whole racing season in a day. And the race is not only about car speed. It's about team capabilities, it's about working under pressure, it's about coming back from problems, and it's about strategy. I think the importance of car speed is as high as the importance of team work and strategy."

On its own, saying that small businesses need capital is not news. However, saying that the rate of small businesses accessing capital has hit a three-year high holds some serious weight.
The Q2 2015 Dun & Bradstreet and Pepperdine Private Capital Access (PCA) Index shows, "The rates at which small businesses are requesting and accepting capital have steadily increased, hitting the highest levels since 2012." But even since the previous quarter, small businesses' need for capital has increased by an astounding 9.1%.
At Direct Capital, we always want to learn more about our customers' business needs so we can better tailor our products to their sales goals. This report explained why the 3,693 business owner respondents sought external financing. The table below gives a brief snapshot of their financing demands.
For the financing industry as a whole, it's also important to understand general satisfaction rates of customers accessing that financing. Where are areas for improvement? The respondents, overall, were extremely pleased with the speed and general process.
To show just a quick snapshot, we chose to focus on satisfaction rates of lease and loans, since those are the main facets of our business.
- Percentage satisfied with pricing and contract terms:
- Lease: 83% (up 5% since Q2 2012)
- Business bank loan: 87% (up 5% since Q2 2012)
- Percentage satisfied with the general process:
- Lease: 85% (up 6% since Q2 2012)
- Business bank loan: 85% (up 14% since Q2 2012)
- Percentage satisfied with the time elapsed from point of first contact until funded:
- Lease: 86% (up 4% since Q2 2012)
- Business bank loan: 80% (up 9% since Q2 2012)
The PCA Index also helps financial institutions plan for the future. Are businesses planning on accessing capital in the coming months? For what purpose? How can you make sure they are getting exactly what they need?
The report showed 33% of businesses are planning to access capital in the next six months, the highest future forecasting since Q2 of 2012. And of that 33%, 60% said their main purpose for that expected financing is to grow and expand their business.
Since Direct Capital is here to help businesses across the company grow and expand, we're excited to see what the future brings.
For more information on this report, visit the Pepperdine University Graziadio School of Business and Management website. And, for more on Direct Capital and how our financing solutions can help your small business, visit our website.

Very friendly staff. The owner Brian is helpful, and easy on the eyes too :) (that's just a bonus - the work they do is very good also).
Apr 28, 2007
They are AAA rated. They are friendly. Their knuckles don't scrape the ground. They took my car on no notice, put new front brakes and rotors on and did the state inspection in about 4 1/2 hours.

Great!! I think i've finally found a mechanic that I will stick to.

Fountain Street Auto is a true mom and pop shop. Mom and Pop are both always there, and son Brian runs the show (and I agree with the other reviewer, he's really cute!). Brian is very friendly, and clearly assumes girls like myself are perfectly capable of understanding car repairs. I've been there probably about 7 or 8 times now and every experience has been great. They're extremely honest - often trying to talk me out of making expensive repairs to my old jalopy - but their kindness goes above and beyond: Once I couldn't arrange a ride home from the shop and Mom offered to drive me herself, and seemed happy to do it, even though we ended up stuck in a traffic jam for 20 minutes. Only once did they screw anything up, and when I brought the car back in, they owned up right away, profusely apologized, fixed the problem immediately, AND, because the problem caused me to burn up a bunch of gas, Brian handed me 15 bucks in cash as I walked out the door to make up for it - I hadn't even asked! What more could you want? They also seem to have cultivated relationships with other decent folk: an autoglass guy and a tow truck guy they recommended both ended up being great. I can't say enough glowing stuff about this little shop - they are sweet and honest people who deserve your business.
Jul 29, 2009
They are great over there. I did have one of those moments where i thought they screwed something up, but really an oxygen sensor just blew.
Aug 12, 2010
They are awesome. I've been going to them since they were on Ridge and Shurs, and I've moved 10 miles away, but I've not found a better mechanic. Always honest, dependable work, but the kicker is that Brian will always let you know what they're going to do, and what they won't do but that you might want to consider getting done at some time in the near future. As in, "you're gonna need new tires in the next few months", but they don't lie to you and tell you that you need them now which I'm sure 90% of mechanics do. He gave me choices on a cat converter that was going to be expensive and did it for cheaper than if I went with a more expensive part. Who does that? Only issue is they seem to always be busy and getting in can be tough. And no Saturday hours. But that's about it. I've talked to other people who use them and they tell the same stories. Highly recommended!

Street Teams: Your Book Launch Secret Weapon
134 comments :
I am on several author street teams and love every minute of it :-) Some authors require more than others (say do 6 or so influencing actions) while others simply want reviews posted on various sites. And they do make it super easy to share things on FB or Twitter! Since I am on so many teams, I don't always have time to do some extra stuff myself (write something for social media sites) so if I can copy and paste or share from the authors page, it makes it super easy for me to do so :-) Sometimes the authors publisher will make book quote graphics (meme's) and we can share them from there. I do like to make them myself as well...usually two or three will do. I request my library purchase a copy of the book and/or Overdrive digital library to purchase the ebook copy. Basically, I try to do what I can for the authors outside of posting reviews. Thankfully, the authors are pretty laid back and easy to "work" for :-) Love connecting with authors and other readers in this way!ReplyDelete
It's loads of fun and I really do enjoy helping where I can to get the word out about new books for my authors!
I would love to be in the draw for all three of your ebook series, Wyoming Mountain Tales. Thank you so much for the chance Misty!Replies
Trixi - thanks for sharing from a reader's perspective. This is something I'm just starting to think about and your comment was very helpful.Delete
Trixi, like Terri, I really appreciate your input from a reader's view. It's good to know that the ready-made tweets and such are a help! Thanks for all you do to spread word of our books!Delete
I love that you mentioned asking your library to order the book, Trixi! That's such a great idea! It sounds like the authors you work with are blessed indeed! :)Delete
Trixi, this is great feedback from your experiences as a reader and street team member--thank you! And thanks also for being such a great "cheerleader" for authors of Christian fiction!Delete
Welcome back to Seekerville, Misty! Wow, what great information. So much information. Do you do all this yourself or do you have a VA to help? Because I am seeing overwhelming in my mirror. LOL.ReplyDeleteReplies
Tina, that's an interesting question! The amount of work has been what's stopped me from doing a street team in the past.Delete
Hi Tina! So much fun to be back in Seekerville! Wouldn't it be nice to have a VA to help with all the details?Delete
The main thing I've found to help with the details is to plan my timing WAAAAYYYY ahead of time. I plug dates in when I need to send the ARC to my team, when I need to send them the social media links and memes, and when I should send retailer links for them to post reviews.
2 other things I've found that help with not feeling overload:
- I'm now using Mailerlite to send emails to my team. That way I have all the email addresses organized, AND I can write and schedule the emails way ahead of time.
- With the launch of my marketing book last month, I added social media share links at the bottom of my book page, then directed my launch team there. Here's what that looks like: https://theambitiousauthor.com/marketing-books/
The more I can do ahead of time (or all in one sitting), the better! That way I don't have to remember what to do when. :)
Misty, I switched over to MailerLite earlier this year and have been really happy with them for my e-newsletters. Very straightforward interface.Delete
Me, too, Myra! I've mostly finished switching to them form Mailchimp and have been pleased so far. :)Delete
I'm still with Mailchimp <-loser! Must look at this. Thank you.Delete
Misty, welcome to Seekerville. Love this! :) And your post gave me an idea for something to do for my team. Yay! :)ReplyDelete
Since I write historicals, my team is called Pam's Calico Crew . They are amazing, and I am so thankful to have each and every one of them in my corner. The crew has a private/secret Facebook group where we communicate with each other.
I've kept my group small, under 20 people, but I'd like to add 10 or so more, though. So if anybody's interested, go to Pam's Calico Crew to sign up.
And I'm with Tina. I need a VA! Especially one who's a Goodreads go-getter! lolReplies
Pam, I had forgotten you have a team! I'm glad to hear it's working well for you.Delete
What a neat name for your team, Pam! I love the idea of a private FB group, but I haven't been brave enough to commit that much time to it, lol. :) I'm part of Karen Witemeyer's team and we voted on the name Karen's Krusaders. That makes it so much fun, doesn't it! :)Delete
Pam, I just applied for your street team. I didn't know you had one :-) I've not YET read a book by you, though I have read quite a few of the Barbour novella collections. So maybe they might have contained your stories! And I really love the name! I've helped vote for team names before, it's a lot of fun.Delete
Thanks Trixi! Checking email now. :)Delete
Misty, wow this post is so helpful. I have three published novellas and I'm just starting to think of ways to generate more interest in my books. Thanks for all the ideas.ReplyDelete
I'd love to be in the drawing for everything.Replies
Terri, if you check out Misty's website, there's a tab for writers with some good information and links to blog posts.Delete
Misty came and talked to our ACFW local chapter and had loads of excellent information!
Hi Terri! Blessings on this writing journey! It truly is a journey as we all learn how to meet new readers. :) What genre do you write?Delete
Welcome, Misty! So much great information here...definitely a post for my Seekerville notebook. Thanks so much for visiting. I'd love to be entered into the drawing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Misty, these are wonderful, concise tips for all authors to consider. I have a group of about 20 influencers, and I love these people... they aren't afraid to spread the word about books, about awards or sales, they jump in and help as needed, and they read the books when I send them, and post reviews... They are a blessing to me for every release, for every story I've told once I was smart enough to band them together!ReplyDelete
Thank you for this marvelous post!Replies
Ruthy, I had forgotten that you and Pam both have launch teams. How do you keep in touch with your influencers? Do you also have a FB group like Pam?Delete
I love the way you describe your team, Ruth! They sound like a WONDERFUL group of readers!!! :)Delete
Missy, I don't have a facebook team, I use e-mails... and like Misty suggested, I try to send the books out early, but sometimes they don't get to me early!!! EEEEK! So then I'm mailing quickly and double mailing... But these influencers (many of whom are right here in Seekerville, or facebook friends and readers) are so good at getting word out... and cheering! I don't do a lot of extra with them, and I don't push them ever because I find that annoying when authors do point systems and credits, etc.... Mostly because I've got enough to keep track of. So that system wouldn't work for me, I keep is Simple with a capital S... :)Delete
Amen to Simple!!Delete
Thanks for the info, Ruthy! I like the idea of simple.Delete
I wanted to chime in here about an email list vs. an email list. I researched this and asked others for their input. And, with their permission, I joined a couple of folks teams to see how their application process worked and to see how they interacted with their team. (So, if someone wants to shadow my team, fill out the app ... or just send me a message on FB.)Delete
The reason I opted to go with a private FB group was because the group makes it a two-way street.
I can interact with my crew so much easier, post direct links to releases, sales, memes, videos, etc. and their data plan (nor mine), doesn't get maxed out.
But, even better is that my crew can post to the crew. If they blog or post a review on GR or pin something, or are tweeting, they can send it to the crew, and those who can and have time can share. Quick and easy way to cross-promote and it's all right there.
And, since I'm so visual, this works well for me. Hopefully as well for them. :)
Here's another tip. On Facebook, you can create new lists for your friends. Not only do I have lists for local, family, fans, etc. I have a Calico Crew list. That way I can drop in to visit my crew and get tho know them on their on "turf" as well. I also send them birthday cards.
So, to each her own, but I'm glad I opted for the FB group. I feel I've gotten to know my crew so much better than I would have through email.
Great feedback, Pam! It's always so helpful to hear other's experiences!Delete
Very helpful, Pam! I'm really enjoying the FB group I set up the week I posted on the blog about fitness. So I can see how fun it would be to use a FB group.Delete
Ruthy!!! I didn't know you had a team, if you ever open up spots I would LOVE to be on your team because I've fallen under the spell of your books :-) And I consider myself an enthusiastic reader.....lol!! And because I'm a really nice person to boot! Ok, seriously though, I really would love to be a part if you are ever looking to add to your team. I've loved your Double S Ranch books (and left reviews all over), though I still have to read "Peace in the Valley". It's been sitting on my shelf waiting for me to get to it. I have two review books first and then I'm all over it like butter on a hot biscuit!! I guess I put it off because I don't want to see the series end :-( Those Stafford brothers are something special!! Now I'm anxiously looking forward to what's coming up next for you.Delete

Absolutely, Kathy! Blessings!Delete
This is so important. I'm grooming some people now, but I wasn't sure what I'd be asking them to do. This helps.ReplyDelete
Misty, all I can say is Wow! As an author who didn't have a launch team for my debut novel, I know its importance and have been forming one for the release of an upcoming novella and future works. Your tips here are great. Thanks much. I'd love to win How To Market a Book Release.ReplyDeleteReplies
Misty, we're so glad to have you with us today! You've really helped me on a topic I've been very curious about. I'm seriously considering starting a street team.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yay! Thanks so much for the opportunity to visit Seekerville again, Missy. You and the other ladies here are such amazing people! I'm always in awe of how much you get done and how much fun you have doing it! :) Blessings!Delete
Misty, it's so great to see you here. Thanks for the great advice!ReplyDeleteReplies
I am on several street teams and this experience is so wonderful. It helps prepare me for the time when I will have a book published. I love helping the authors. If get an arc e-book I love when it is sent through funnel because it acts like a regular e book which means it will save my spot, The ones that come in as a document are not as easy to read.ReplyDelete
I just started a journal with each early book I read written at the top. Then each time I share a post or pin on pinterest etc I can jot it down. Then when the author wants me to tally up all the things I did, I know exactly what I did. If I were only on one it might be easy but I am on 15-20 teams so this way I can keep track for each book.
One word of caution. For one author I was required to give a 5 star review. I contacted her and because I had some problems with the book and could not in good conscience give a 5 star review. I am no longer on that time. I am concerned that this is the kind of thing that would cause problems with posting reviews on Amazon.
Thanks for posting this post. Please enter me in the drawing for authors which I hope one day I will be.Replies
Wow, Wilani, what a great idea to have a journal of all your promotional activities! I'm sure it does help you to stay organized.Delete
Wilani, I love your idea of a journal keeping up with your posts, shares, pins, etc. Brilliant!Delete
Hi, Wilani! WOW! 15-20 street teams? What a blessing you are to the author community! And I agree that the journal idea is a good one. Blessings!Delete
Wilani, I also appreciate the info on Book Funnel since I've seen authors asking on loops which service works best. I'm glad to hear it's easy for readers to get the books.Delete
How can an author require you to leave a five star rating?? I've ran into a situation recently where I didn't particularly connect with a book by a certain author, though I had read other books by her. Even though I loved her other books, this one didn't appeal to me. So I simply left a lower rating and explained in my review why I did. Basically, I said I didn't connect with the story, but I would still recommend her book to readers who love her work.Delete
I don't think it's fair for an author to require a certain star rating. Not every book of theirs will necessarily appeal to every reader. I think if I would have seen that requirement in the application or if the author specified that up front somehow, I would have moved on!
And lastly, about star ratings. I don't particularly like them, at all! I sometimes don't know what's a fair rating...say, all five star ratings. Or is it fair to throw a few four stars in there? If I give a three star, I state my reason in a fair & honest way without tearing the author apart. If I give less than a three star, I simply don't leave one. I go and email the author and explain why I feel I can't leave one. They are pretty understanding about it :-)
Pretty long explanation, sorry!! I guess it sparked something in me when you said an author required five star ratings! That's totally unfair to me. Just had to throw my two cents in.
Misty, it's great to have you as our guest today! I have been hesitant to develop a launch team, but your explanations and ideas give me encouragement. "Keeping it simple" really appeals to me, as the very thought of adding one more commitment into my schedule makes me shudder!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello Misty! I enjoy the fellowship of street teams that I am a part of.ReplyDelete
Please enter me in the drawing.Replies
Misty, welcome back to Seekerville! Thanks for sharing the terrific tips for forming a Street Team to get the word out about a new release. Some of my loyal readers have wanted to help but have never posted reviews and were uneasy with the process. I've realized that I should've given detailed information on how it's done.ReplyDelete
Hi, Janet! How wonderful that you have loyal readers who want to help! Sounds like you have the makings for a fantastic team. :)Delete
Janet, yeah, it sounds like you could come up with some instructions to use. And give sample tweets, etc. Might work well for them!Delete
Even when readers love a story, some are uncomfortable with writing reviews. I'm grateful for readers who make the effort and are willing to try something new.Delete
Misty, welcome to Seekerville! Such tremendous ideas - thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
I've been on launch teams and it's always a lot of fun. It's a treat to read ARCs and I enjoy dishing about great stories. I'm not able to do this as much as I'd like, but it's a fun experience.
Best wishes on your continued success!Replies
Hi Misty and welcome to Seekerville. What a great post and so timely. The publishing paradigm has changed so much, it is wonderful to have ideas for present day promotion and marketing. I love the idea of street teams. I've been wanting to start one and now have a nice list to work from. Thank you. Have fun today and thanks again for sharing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey, Misty, WELCOME TO SEEKERVILLE!! And THANK YOU for introducing me to BookFunnel.com -- I am ecstatic!!ReplyDelete
Every time I release a book, I have problems sending out arcs because most people don't want PDFS (myself included!), and I don't get a mobi made until the book is edited and ready to post on Amazon, so that ends up being too late. But with BookFunnel.com, it looks like I can purchase the $20 a year option (even though I am not a beginning author), which would give me exactly what I need. Question: just because the $20/year option is labeled "First-Time Author," that doesn't mean I can't purchase that option even though I am not a first-time author, does it?
Also, I am very interested in using Calibre, but I am pretty tech-illiterate, so is it easy to use? And does the free download allow me to convert my Word docs into both mobi and e-pub files relatively easily?
Thanks, Misy! Very helpful today.
Great questions, Julie! I looked at that first time option, too.Delete
Hi Julie, yes! You can use that $20/year option even if you're multi-published. It's a fantastic option.Delete
Calibre is super easy to use once you've done it a time or two. It took me a little bit of trial and error to find the three or so buttons I need to use to convert a Word doc to epub and mobi, but I can now get it done in a minute flat (not counting processing time for the files). I imagine you could Google any questions you have and find lots of easy answers. :)
Great info, Misty! Thanks for sharing. I need to read it all again and save for future reference!ReplyDelete
So glad you can be with us today in Seekerville! Hugs!Replies
This is definitely important info. Thank you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for all this helpful information! Asking is usually so hard for me. (I like to hide behind the computer and write, lol.) But as a future book marketer, I'll have to get over my introvert nature. Please enter me in the drawing for your marketing book! Thank you :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Preslaysa, I'm the same way! It's tough to ask. I was a terrible saleswoman when I had a Mary Kay business. I loved sharing products but fretted over being pushy. I would say dumb things like, "This is my favorite product but I know it's expensive and you may not want to spend that much." LOL! It's a wonder I made it in that business for so long. :)Delete
Ha ha! I love it. The sales person telling the potential customer why they shouldn't buy the product. I used to sell Mary Kay too. I loved getting the seller discount on product, but not the actual sales part!Delete
Hi Preslaysa! I'm a total introvert, so I can relate! It's a lot easier to talk with readers from behind a computer. :) I still get all red and tongue-tied when I talk with readers in person.Delete
Yep can totally relate ladies. A) I'm an introvert and B) I sold Arbonne and Creative Memories wayyyyy back in the day. And I was horrible at it. I was my best customer and that's not the goal.Delete
The last couple of years in my MK business I just used the product personally and also occasionally ordered for one or two good friends. :) That was about the time I decided to focus on writing.Delete
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who is terrible at sales! It's a little easier online. Like you, Misty, I get a bit tongue tied when speaking. At a book signing, I can sometimes forget someone's name--people I know well! It's nerve wracking.
Hi Misty!!!! The amount of knowledge in your brain astounds me. Your a writing/marketing/organizing genius and I'm amazed and so honored to have you as a writing partner. I hope you have an awesome day!ReplyDeleteReplies
Love this post! I am on several street teams and love it. Getting to read a book before it's out is so much fun lol. I do reviews, share posts, share tweets, ask for a copy at my library, and share quotes. I like interacting with the authors, getting to see covers first, hearing about an upcoming story, and interacting with other readers who love the same author.ReplyDeleteReplies
Great info Misty!ReplyDelete
This is one of those posts I need to save since I'm not published and don't have a book to launch.
I agree w/the making it easy for people. Sometimes a person will ask for support and I will try to do as they ask, but I don't want to spend 30 minutes figuring it out.Replies
Oh, wow! This is a lot of great information, Misty. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
As I'm one who is still trudging along the path to publication and I don't have a book to launch, yet, I will be saving this article to reference at a later date.
Please, drop my name in the drawing for the signed paperback of your new book for writers, How to Market a Book Release. Thanks!Replies
HI Misty!! Great information and yes please toss me in for the How to Market a book drawing.ReplyDelete
As a reader, I've been on several launch teams and love the chance to not only read an ARC but give the book a healthy start. It's super cool to be part of that.
As a writer, I definitely see the value in a launch team. How soon would you recommend compiling a group before the book releases?Replies
You'll be launching one before you know it, Sharee! I'm still grinning about that! :)Delete
Great question, Sharee! When to gather the team depends mostly on when your ARC will be available. I'd say plan to have the team roster finished 2-4 weeks before your ARC is ready. Much earlier than that and people tend to get distracted. :)Delete
Blessings on your writing journey!
Thanks for this informative post, I had lots of questions about street teams and you answered them!ReplyDelete
I'm sick, so disappointingly I haven't gotten much writing done today. Mainly I've spent the day sprawled out on the couch re-watching Pirates of the Caribbean for the 150th time.
Please enter my name for How to Market a Book Release.Replies
Hi Misty:ReplyDelete
Thanks for such a comprehensive set of marketing ideas. You've given us a lot to digest here as would be the case with any very rich meal of ideas. I like all your suggestions and I'd like to also have you comment on two disturbing marketing trends I've noticed.
1. Author newsletters that announced something like this: "You know that book you paid 9.99 for when it came out last month? Well now it's on sale for $.99 cents. Be sure to tell all your friends." Doesn't this teach your early adaptors to wait before buying your next book?
(Greatest Management Principle: "What gets rewarded, gets done.)
How about offering the fans getting your newsletter a discount on pre-orders that others do not get?
2. Books that are won in various ways when a author does a guest blog are more and more being sent directly from Amazon with no note from the author. A wonderful marketing opportunity is lost here.
How many autographed romances have you seen at used bookstores? I have not got one in over 1000 romances bought.
Also, since the publisher is paying for many of these 'free' print books, only the paper copies seem to be able to be won. This is the case even though the kindle cost is probably less than the postage to mail a print book. (Note: A Kindle book can't be given or sold to someone else.)
Now since a Kindle book costs less and can't be given away or sold, the reader may still prefer it because of a need for larger type. (This is a reader by the way who really wants to read the book.)
I think a prize book should be signed by the author with a little comment. This 'touches' the reader, makes a valuable connection, and turns the book into a mini-collector's item. Not likely to be sold or given away and more likely to be escape from any TBR pile.
I really believe that an author greatly increases her chance to become an auto-buy author by making a personal connection with a given reader.
What do you think?
Vince, I've had at least two people tell me they found my books (autographed to someone else) at used bookstores. And I've seen one that I had autographed in my own local bookstore! :) It was a common name, so I never knew who sold it. But it made me wonder! LOLDelete
I totally understand making books special and personalized. For years I sent my paper author copies, autographed. But in recent years I got so I would often send prizes from Amazon because of saving a trip to the post office (and also because the winner sometimes preferred e-books). But if someone specifically requests an autographed copy, I'll usually send it. :)
Hi Vince,Delete
I love your final comment, "I really believe that an author greatly increases her chance to become an auto-buy author by making a personal connection with a given reader."
That sums up one of the principles I teach about how authors interact with readers, especially on a mailing list!
I understand why some authors send books directly from the printer, as it eliminates one set of shipping charges (I'm guilty of this occasionally myself). But you're exactly right about that personal touch of sending an autographed copy!
To address your other question, "How about offering the fans getting your newsletter a discount on pre-orders that others do not get?" I like the premise of that idea, however it would be hard to pull off because of ebook pricing logistics. Something I've done instead is to offer my newsletter subscribers a bonus, like a behind the scenes story, character profiles, deleted scenes, etc.
Thanks for your well-thought comments, Vince!

Hi Misty! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with those in this post! One thing I learned from being part of an influencer group was to buy a book from the author's back list to offer as a giveaway with the review of the new release. Especially if the release is second or third in a series.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow, Natalie. So you give away an older book in a post where you post a review? Did I understand that correctly?Delete
Natalie, I think you're probably talking about a review on a blog, right? And that's a fantastic idea! I always hesitate to giveaway a book I'm promoting when I guest blog, because I feel like it discourages readers from actually buying the book in hopes they'll win. Giving away an earlier book in the series is a great giveaway for a blog!Delete
Hi, Missy! Hi, Misty! Yes, that's correct. I do this when I review on my own blog.Delete
I learned this a couple months ago, so now if I know I'm going to review a book, I'll keep an eye out for sales on the author's preceeding titles.
It's eas for readers to think I'm giving away a copy of the review book, since that's so common, but at the beginning of the past I'll ask them to read the giveaway rules carefully.
As another member of several street teams, one of the things I love about them is the community. In several of my teams, we share prayer requests and lift each other up during difficult times.ReplyDeleteReplies
Such a helpful post, Misty, and truly interesting! I'm still unpublished at this point, but I'm bookmarking this for future reference. Thank you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Misty, I've been checking out your website and it is definitely informative.ReplyDelete
My book is coming out next Tuesday, the 18th, and I am prohibited from sending out copies in advance. I won a contract through Amazon's Kindle Scout program and people who voted for me get a free copy. However, no one is required to write a review.Replies
Walt, I got my copy! I can't wait to read it.Delete
How exciting that it's finally almost release time!
Missy: I'm reading it now and it is the best thing I've read from Walt yet. Wonderful start. High hopes for it.Delete
Thanks for the kind words, Walt, and congrats on the Kindle Scout contract! That's interesting about not being able to send out ARCs, although I understand why Amazon might make that choice and it sounds like they have a plan in place to make up for it.Delete
I pray you have great reviews from those who voted!
"It's not procrastinating if something's getting done."ReplyDelete
I don't agree with this. All my procrastinating involves getting lower priority stuff done that is less painful to do.
"No matter what you are doing or how hard you are working, it's still procrastinating if your not doing your top priority work."
I'm procrastinating right now! I should be working on my RPP book but at least I'm doing something that may help others.
There are a lot of busy hands in the devil's workshop, too. :)
Too funny, Vince! I'm also guilty of procrastinating the big things by doing busy work. Now, go get to work on that RPP book. :)Delete
This is a great post! I am a part of the street team / launch team for a few different authors. I find that the ones I do the best job of promoting and not just reviewing for are the ones who have easy to share memes and things. I haven't figured out how to create my own.ReplyDelete
I would love to be entered in the giveaway. The series of 3 eBooks sounds wonderful. debbiewilder (at) comcast (dot) netReplies
Great feedback, Debbie! Blessings!Delete
Misty, I've written quite a list of items that I need to do, culled from this post. I needed this! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I'd love to have your marketing book, and I promise to actually use it and post reviews. LeeCarverWriter at g mailReplyDeleteReplies
That's wonderful, Lee! So glad this post was helpful and I hope you win the book! :)Delete
I am blessed to be a part of several street teams, some have been good and others just so/so. I think interaction is key. There are a few street teams I've been on where it seems like the author is absent unless it's like the week before release day, and then all of a sudden they are posting Every. Single. Day. They don't really give me that warm and be fuzzy feeling lol. Sure, I know as a reader and blogger I'm there to help, but why can some authors take the time to talk to us weekly and others don't?ReplyDelete
A tip for authors - get a street team coordinator. This person can help you out in so many ways, both with keeping in contact with team members, keeping them in track, and making the group fun. I've got ideas as far as contests, keeping team members interested and involved, and tips for posting in the team group page too. It can really make the experience so much better, and lighten your load :)
What a great post!! Thank you Misty for sharing with us.
Wow! These ideas are amazing. I'm almost excited about marketing now! I haven't gotten to the end of the comments yet to leave Misty a comment, but wanted to stop here and thank you, Pam, for mentioning FB groups. I have had some lovely private bible study groups on Facebook. I had never considered doing the same for a launch team! Thanks for the tips. ��ReplyDelete
I have been both a Street Team member and an Influencer and I prefer print ARCs because I use a Kindle app on my Android phone. When the ARC is offered only as an ebook I love it when an author uses BookFunnel because these ARCs are so easy to get. I always consider being chosen an honor and I try to do my best to promote the book. Thanks for an interesting post!ReplyDelete

Top Ten Most Innovative Music ArtistsNataly
The Top Ten
Rock, Psychedelic music and art rock was invented by The Beatles, Alice Cooper-KISS-Ozzy Osbourne, etc. Were all influenced by The Beatles, the band were the first band to evolve as artists, have fans across the world that number in the billions, the first band to be iconic, legendary, innovative, groundbreaking, massivley influential and rule the world on commercial and artistic success-The Beatles were the first innovators and we would have NO MUSIC without The Beatles
There wouldn't be a modern pop sound without the Beatles. The only group from that time period who's sound could sound like today. Just listen to She Loves You or I want To Hold Your Hand.
Also, they were able to transform and do a complete 180 from their early '60's selves.
If want to hear innovation, just listen to the entire Sgt. Peppers Album. Game over.
Yesterday in the life will be never again...
They didn't innovated psychelic music at all, many other bands were already, they just imitaded & popularized the genre
Only the beatles and Elvis presley had more influence on pop music, but no one was innovative
He was a cute and talented kid, but most of his adult act was a ripoff of James Brown and Jackie Wilson.
Michael Jackson is innovation.. end of story!
I knew he would be number one before I even read the list, simply, the greatest.V 5 Comments
All her romance songs would prove how chithra is best innovator
Chithra is best innovator for her songs
She has the most sweetest voice ever... I bet you
Brian Wilson was a musical and lyrical genius. Paul McCartney himself said so. (Don't quote me on that) - higgsboson2142
The combined fact that this pretends to be a list of the most innovative music artists, and that David Bowie is not in it, should be reason for all involved to hang their heads in relentless shame and ponder about the gradual decline of the internet, music culture, and society in general.
Wait whaaat?
Bowie is master of reinvention. I don't wanna be rude, but I honestly can't find any reason why u say beatles, k s chitra, jackson and beach boys are more innovative than him... It's a joke!
Acoustic & electric. Folk, country, Rock, blues, Traditional, R&B, Christian, Disco,... Several things which defy labels or genre... And Sinatra interpretations! - Billyv
They are unique and defined progressive & concept albums
Why is LP above one of the most innovative artists of ALL time? Without PF, most bands wouldn't be here today.
Profound influence on alternative rock...same with Iggy Pop and the Stooges
The Contenders
Their style is pretty much versatile, and combine elements of hip hop, rap, rock and metal. It innovated music of the 21st century.
They always do something different for each album.
So innavative, SO AWESOME, it's a shame their on the bottom of this list.
They should in top 5
They are awesome
They are best
The best guitar lineup in history; Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. They created the music that is known as hard rock to this very day.
Most of the innovations that are credited to Led Zeppelin were actually created first by Jimmy Page when he was in The Yardbirds.
Later, after some personnel changes and a minor name change to "The New Yardbirds", Jimmy Page changed the name of the band again... to Led Zeppelin.
This list is supposed to be the innovative ones. And while Elvis isn't necessarily the best artist, he was the one who made rock music big. He opened the eyes of the world to rock, and rock is still a huge genre. To put it simply: No Elvis-No Beatles. So he should be waaay higher up. - Tweepster
How the heck is Freddie in the 21st spot? HE'S BELOW BEYONCE? - ImAKillerQueen
Nobody can beat this awesome artist - very well respected
Robbie Williams is awesome and the best
Michael Jackson did funk, disco, and new jack swing with some rock and roll. The Beatles did rock, some psychedelic rock and baroque in Revolver. Madonna has done all of that plus Latin, country, folk, classical, dubstep, house, acid jazz, trip hop, techno, and pretty much every genre their is. Madonna went past songs about love and sang about religion, abortion, sexuality, and morals. Madonna is the best innovator of music and she will never lose her impact no matter how "old" she gets. Hail Queen Madge.
The women is smart. No doubt about it. Never seems to run out of ideas.

Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee announced his retirement Tuesday, following a series of questionable comments that put him in hot water -- referring to "those damn Catholics" at Notre Dame in a joke and taking jabs at the academic quality of rival schools.
In a conference call, Gee insisted he wasn't retiring because of his comments.
"I live in turbulent times and I've had a lot of headwinds, and so almost every occasion, I have just moved on," Gee said. "I have regrets when I have said things that I shouldn't have said, but I have no regrets about having a sense of humor and having a thick skin and enjoying life."
Gee served as Ohio State's president from 1990 to 1997 and 2007 until now. He has one of the largest compensation packages among public university presidents in the nation, which he acknowledged in a 2012 Marketplace interview.
"I've never been in the position of defending my salary. I look at the output and hopefully the people of Ohio are getting a good effort out of me. The quality of my institution is something that I take great pride in," he said.
Self-described as "quirky as hell," Gee joked that he has one month left "to ruin the university."
OSU Provost Joseph A. Alutto will serve as interim president until the the school's board of trustees can find a replacement.

At the start of every engagement we take time to listen and fully understand our client's objectives. We can quickly assess even the most complex cases and devise and execute a strategy to fulfil our client's objective.

It would seem a no-brainer that a magazine called Guns and Ammo would have a staff out to protect gun owner rights.
It turns out not all things are as they seem.
On Wednesday G&A editor Jim Bequette stepped down right after he fired editor/columnist Dick Metcalf over an article Metcalf had written.
Read the PDF copy of the article here.
That particular column called for some measure of gun control and it didn't set well with subscribers or other staff.
"The fact is, all constitutional rights are regulated," Metcalf reasoned in the piece. He then wrote that he had heard from many who said "the government doesn't have the eight to tell me whether I'm qualified to carry a gun."
Metcalf then compared gun ownership to driving a car asking if "just anybody should be able to buy a vehicle and take it out on public roadways without any kind of drivers training, test, or license"
Before the magazine ever hit stores the column was already being ripped by gun owners and personal rights advocates.
Bequette was quick to respond saying "I made a mistake by publishing the column. I thought it would generate a healthy exchange of ideas on gun rights. I miscalculated, pure and simple."
The Washington Times points out Metcalf isn't alone in the unemployment line. Two other writers have been let go since 2007 for columns with similar opinions.

This Wednesday at the Hollywood Theatre, Cinemapocalypse comes to Portland! Read all about this insane grindhouse event here, and then come back for your chance to win two tickets to Trailer War!, the first of Portland's two Cinemapocalypse events!
Trailer War! pits local grindhouse godfather Dan Halsted up against Lars Nilsen and Zack Carlson from Austin's infamous Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Halsted will be facing off with Nilsen and Carlson to see who can show the best collection of grindhouse trailers. As Halsted's Grindhouse Film Festival site puts it:
For one night only, we'll be setting the most violent, reprehensible and ungodly 35mm explosives for the absolute supreme Battle of Celluloid Insanity. The Grindhouse Film Festival will be going head-to-head with the visiting exploitationeer duo of the Cinemapocalypse Tour to present a dehumanizingly fierce barrage of classic film trailers featuring the very excruciatingest horror, kung fu, scifi, prison, nudie, cannibal, manimal, exploitation, hicksploitation, blacksploitation and sploitationsploitation! These miniature bursts of mankind's most twisted and unhealthy brainwaves are destined to transform you into the next stage of human life after dynamiting you through the back of the theater. This is the cinematic event of the year!
Want to go? FUCK YES YOU DO. So here's how: Email me no later than 5 pm today (April 20), and make sure your subject line is "sploitationsploitation." At 5, I'll pick a winner at random*, and alert them via email by 5:30 or so to let 'em know how to pick up their tickets. If you don't hear from me by then, that means you lost (sucker!), so go buy tickets here.
Cinemapocalypse: Trailer War!, Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, Wed April 22, 9:30 pm, $8
Cinemapocalypse: Hicksploitation Double Feature, Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton, Thurs April 23, 8:30 pm, $8

Unanswered: URGNET HELP: SQL/Oracle get weekly record
Hello -
I have a question on forming the query using SQL. I have a table that has a column named START_TIME which has strings in the format
YYYY/MM/DD HH:MMS (19 characters)
I want to get the current date and time from the system and then form a query that will pull records from the table that has the current date to 7 days back.
i.e., I need a query that will pull record for a week from today (having in mind the date format specified)
Any help?

By converting the string of chars to a date you will be able to use standard date arithemetic. This should get you started....
select to_date('2002/12/30 21:03:19','YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MIS')-7 from dual

Personally, I think you'd be better off storing your START_TIME as a date instead of a string.

Whilst I (and probably everyone on here) agrees that storing dates/times as dates is the better way to go, it doesn't answer the original question.
However, if I were to make such a sugestion and if the original poster was willing to change the table and/or the numerous systems relying on it then this might also help -
alter table [tablename] modify [columnname] date
maybe an ....
alter session set nls_date_format = 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MIS'
would also be useful before the modify column? I don't know I haven't tried it? But then I didn't suggest it either.
Comments with usefull suggestions welcome. Comments on their own... nah you can keep them, they don't really help anyone - they just alienate them.
Marist, clearly you are knowledgable in the Oracle arena but your posting style can give people the wrong impression. Me included. I don't believe it is your intention and I don't want to be flamed to hell and back over it either.
I'm sorry - I wanted to send this personally rather than on the forum - but I'm a programmer, not a forum user:-( Maybe AndrewSt will delete this once you've got it.
Kindest Regards

In these busy and hectic days people often times dont take time for themselves. They run here, run there and never ever stop, not even for a minute or two. We know, as we are the same way.
What we do though is try to take a few minutes prior to bedtime to just sit with no television, no computer and just reflect on the days events and to make a mental list of things to be thankful for just for that day. We are bath takers so, often times, we add essential oils to our bath water.
If we arent taking a bath, this is when we may diffuse a little Lavender . It helps to calm and relax, and is nice to smell. Now, if you dont like Lavender (yes, there are folks that dont care for the smell) then find another essential oil or blend you like.
Maybe you prefer to take a moment or two before the kids come home from school. Or during your lunch break at work.
Im sure you are wondering why we suggest you smell essential oils for your Take me away moments.
The mind has a type of sensory that will help you to respond to certain stimuli. If you get into the habit that when you smell certain scents you try to respond similarly each time, it eventually will trigger the response more quickly.
This theory was with the Pavlovs Dogs back in the early 1900s. Although they were dogs and the stimulus was food and a bell to stimulate salivation, the theory is similar. (Look up Pavlovs Dogs to read more if you arent familiar.)
If you use the same smell to have you feel relaxed and calmed, eventually, just thinking about the particular scent may trigger you to relax. When you do smell the scent you should almost immediately have the calming effect. This is very helpful for young and old.
Of course, there are chemical constituents in essential oils that may also trigger varying responses. So smelling them is helpful to trigger your emotional, physical or spiritual response especially when it comes time to taking a moment for yourself.
Experiment and find the essential oils to help you not only relax, but also to help you feel alive and energized. Everyone is different.
For us, Peppermint . and Minty scents are stimulating and energizing but we have known several folks that Peppermint actually helps them to relax. The same is true with Lavender. Most folks get calm and have a serene feeling, while we have known others to be more alert and ready to take on the day.

GRAEME STORM dropped 42 places on the second round of the BMW International Open in Germany.
The former British Amateur champion was placed third at the end of the first day in Cologne but was unable to repeat his heroics and fell down the leaderboard.
Storm's 73 today means he is still a healthy five-under for the tournament going in to the weekend, although he has four shots to make up on Spanish leader Pablo Larrazabal.
Loading article content
After bogeying the fourth and making triple bogey seven at the seventh, Storm regained his composure to birdie four of the first six holes after the turn.
But then back-to-back bogeys at 16 and 17 proved costly and he starts Saturday in tied 45th place hoping he has got his mistakes out of the way in the second round.

How to Connect Your Tablet to a TV (LCD or LED TV)?
If you want a bigger and better viewing experience of your tablet screen, you can view it in LCD or LED TV via HDMI connection. Like me, I usually use my tablet (my PLDT Telpad) when we want to have a videoke or karaoke craze in our house. I search lots and lots of latest karaoke videos in youtube in my PLDT telpad (tablet). My telpad is connected to the internet through wifi. To have a bigger and better viewing experience, I connect my PLDT telpad (tablet) to my 48-inch LCD TV. You may ask how do I connect my telpad (tablet) to the LCD/LED TV?
You must have or buy a Micro USB to HDMI Adapter (or cable).
This type of cable or adapter will connect the telpad (tablet) to the LCD/LED TV. Your LCD/LED TV or any kind of TV should have a HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port or connection.
You are going to connect the Micro USB PIN to the telpad (tablet). On the other hand, the HDMI PIN will be connected to the LCD/LED TV.
TAKE NOTE: Not all tablet or smartphone has the capability to output its screen (display) to an LCD/LED TV.
As of this writing, the price of the adapter/cable is Php 480 and can be bought in any CDR-King branches.
How to Connect this Micro-USB to HDMI Adapter/Cable?
Before connecting the adapter/cable, make sure you set the SOURCE of the TV to HDMI. Then, connect the Micro-USB PIN to the tablet/phone and the HDMI PIN to the HDMI port of the TV.
How's the Result or the Display of the Tablet to the LCD/LED TV?
The display is crystal clear. You can really enjoy viewing the tablet (telpad) display in a bigger screen. The display output has the maximum resolution of 1080 pixels.
Do you have any problem connecting your tablet or phone to the LCD/LED TV or any type of TV?

Recurring rumors of CNN partnering with a broadcast network are nothing new, but New York Magazine's Gabriel Sherman reports that sources say CBS News and the cable network are in "advanced negotiations" at the moment, with one source telling NYMag that talks have been going on for months:
CBS News and CNN are in advanced negotiations about signing a news-gathering partnership, according to executives familiar with the discussions. The talks revolve around how the two news divisions can combine operations in a bid to cut costs and expand audiences on both sides. While such conversations have occurred over the last decade, the current news-business climate — plummeting CNN ratings, ever-shrinking evening-news audiences, major layoffs at ABC — make a deal more logical than ever before.
There are already a lot of talent-ties between the networks. Erica Hill, Betty Nguyen, and Elaine Quijano left CNN for CBS earlier this year, and Anderson Cooper regularly contributes reports to one of CBS' flagship programs, "60 Minutes."
"CBS Evening News" EP and former CNN president Rick Kaplan recently described CNN as being "in a freefall."
Last summer, CBS News and Sports President Sean McManus told TVGuide of a partnership with CNN: "Nothing is on the horizon. Having a cable partner would be nice, but if I look at the coverage any one of the major events that have taken place in the last two years…I think we've done as good a job or a better job than any other news organization whether it's cable or network."

Set in San Francisco, California, the show chronicles widowed father Danny Tanner, who, after the death of his wife Pam, enlists his best friend Joey Gladstone and his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis to help raise his three daughters, D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. It aired from September 22, 1987 to May 23, 1995, broadcasting 8 seasons and 192 episodes.

Let the heavens rejoice – providence has intervened and all is right with the world. In an announcement last week, Melissa McCarthy confirmed that Sookie will appear in the Gilmore Girls revival after all! It wouldn't have been the same without the third leg of the show's neurotic triangle (although maybe that's Emily? Or Luke? Or Taylor?). In any case, we can't wait to see what crazy kitchen hijinks Sookie is up to these days.
Netflix have also confirmed that the four-part series will be released "later this year", with creator Amy Sherman Palladino stating her preference that all four not be released at once.
On those two happy notes, here are some other events we're hoping to see in the revival:
1. Rory and Lorelai well-adjusted and happy
Luke and Lorelai cohabiting with their twins, Leopold and Loeb, while Rory is out in the world doing golden child things—and also being single, because we need the drama. If we could get a glimpse of the satanic altar they pray to every night to stay so young and beautiful (and desirable to all men within a hundred-mile radius) that would explain a lot…
2. Luke is a secret millionaire
Because he'd hate it and so would Lorelai. He's had the same car for decades and only owns two caps (Lorelai blue, and not-with-Lorelai black). Every person in town is in his diner daily, so you know he's sitting on piles of cash. By the time the reunion rolls around, he'll definitely own the half of town not already owned by Taylor.
Doing anything that could be considered "running the world."
4. A buddy Dean and Taylor
Dean takes over Doose's market after Taylor breaks both legs in the course of some wacky Star's Hollow improvement scheme (installing town-approved rain gutters? Putting up decorations for the Star's Hollow Square Dance Festival?). Slowly but surely, Taylor will make Dean over in his image…
5. Another dance marathon
Kirk becomes Town Selectman and is thereby prevented from defending his dance marathon title, clearing the way for Lorelai to finally triumph. It's fifty-fifty whether she'll be able to convince Rory or Luke to be her partner.
6. The Family Van Gerbig
Lane and Zack have passed their musical talent on to their twin sons, and have formed a family band like a punk rock version of the Von Trapps. They are super famous, but still down to earth because: Mrs. Kim.
7. Sookie and Jackson's mystery child
It's a girl! So Sookie can get back at Jackson for not getting the vasectomy by naming her something normal, NOT Colgate. The entire brood regularly spends Friday evenings singing to various fruit and vegetable crops.
8. Beau Bellville
It doesn't matter what flimsy excuse Amy Sherman-Palladino uses to bring back Jackson's older brother Beau, but Nick Offerman NEEDS to make an appearance (never forget Rune told him Lorelai was a nymphomaniac).
9. Much Ado About Christopher
He doesn't have to be dead, but he should be living in Paris with Sherry and Gigi. He only appears as Rory's proud Dad when she inevitably receives a young journalist of the year award, or, you know, a Pulitzer. His visit is uneventful and he promptly flies back home.
10. Fixing Season 7
Seriously, could Season 7 be written off as a town-wide, gas-leak-induced fever dream that never actually happened? (Unfortunately, A S-P has already denied us this one…)
11. Emily
In widowhood, she's become a late-in-life lesbian.
12. Jess action*
Oh, Jess. The book-loving bad boy who just couldn't get himself together enough to deserve Rory. He doesn't have to be her forever man (although he is), but he IS a published author and he DID straighten Rory out when she was going off the rails, so a little bit of romance is not out of line! Just saying.
13. Star's Hollow townspeople are still fabulous
Miss Patty's memoir I'm So Glad I Had All That Sex is a bestseller and she's planning to cast Sofia Vergara as herself in the Broadway show. Babette and Morey have opened a cat-funeral service and are in high demand as the feline population of Star's Hollow ages. Michel is convinced gluten is poison. Andrew's bookstore is hanging in there, despite dual pressures of Amazon and e-readers. Kirk and Lulu have thankfully not yet procreated. And that hussy, Eastside Tilly, continues to have the gossip before anyone else.
* Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed herein are Emily's alone. Elle's strong (and incorrect) conviction that Logan was the best of Rory's boyfriends is hereby noted.

BIRMINGHAM -- The Alabama Emergency Management Agency reported three deaths from strong storms and possible tornadoes that swept through the state Monday night and early Tuesday.
Limestone County Coroner Mike West says 60-year-old Dorthy Jean Hollis and her 33-year-old son, Carlton Earl Hollis, were killed about 5:15 p.m. Monday when their mobile home was destroyed in the Coxey community 10 miles west of Athens on U.S. 72.
Neighbors told reporters that the two were encouraged to go to a shelter at the Billy Barbs mobile home park, but declined.
A spokeswoman at Athens-Limestone Hospital said 17 people were treated at the hospital for storm injuries and two were admitted.
Tuscaloosa officials said University of Alabama swimmer John Servati, 21, of Tupelo, Miss., was taking shelter in the basement of a home when a retaining wall collapsed about 10:30 p.m. Monday. He was pronounced dead at DCH Regional Medical Center.

Anyone had a Nex stolen?
So I just recently had a baby. Have been getting plenty of great shots of her with my Nex 6 + SEL35 combo. I brought them to my parents house yesterday and left the car unlocked outside. In the midst of grabbing a hundred different things I left the camera in the car. 24 hours goes by and I see a great photo op, where is my camera? Just spent 5 hours looking for it and it is no where to be found. After realizing that the car had been unlocked with the camera likely in plain view for a few hours I have determined someone swiped it. Tons of drugs in this former nice neighborhood so, no surprise.
Anyways... I am left with
SEL16 + 12mm Converter
What should I buy to replace this combo? I was pretty happy with it but if I am going to spend anywhere over 500 dollars to replace it I am not going to cut pennies, although pennies are important to me so cost is an issue.
Do I get an RX100MKIII to hold me over for a couple of years? Then upgrade to FF when they get the new PDAF system on an A7II? Would also allow me time to save up. This camera is also alot more pocketable and I would appreciate that. How much will my IQ be degraded with this camera? Anyone have both? Is it that much of a difference compared to the 6+35?
Do I grab an A6000 and another 35 for a grand and basically get the same pics I was getting?
The issue here is timing. She is only 9 weeks old so I figure I have at least a generation or two of camera bodies before she is moving around with the quickness. At that point I was the most recent, up to date autofocus system available. The A6000 will likely be slow by then comparatively speaking.
God. This is a horrible feeling. Anyways, thanks for your advice everyone.
