Environmental concern after backhoe falls into Naples canal
It took more than 20 workers and several hours to lift a backhoe out of Royal Harbor where it had slipped Wednesday morning from a barge while dredging Naples Bay.
Harbor Master Captain Roger Jacobsen said environmental damage was minimal.
Denny and Janet Hartman were watching the backhoe work from their new seasonal home on Bluefin Court.
Denny, 68, noticed the barge seemed to be tipping toward one side as crews scooped muck from the water, plopping it into a section of the barge. He was talking on the phone at the time but decided to hang up.
"I said something spectacular is just about to happen," Denny said.
The backhoe began to slide and the man operating it fell into the water with the machine.
"I gave a split second thought to going in after him, but I didn't have to," Denny said. "That's the fastest I've seen a guy move in Florida."
City crews responded to Bluefin Court off Snook Drive shortly after 10:30 a.m. to aid SteMic Marine Construction, the company dredging the bay.
Some diesel fuel leaked into the water but SteMic crews had one large boom already in place to prevent water disturbance while dredging. Jacobsen brought more booms and absorbent materials when he responded. He said there was no danger of the fuel moving out into the Naples Bay because there was no current.
SteMic coordinated the clean-up efforts, arranging for an arborist to remove a palm tree and 12-foot-high privacy bushes to make way for the crane that would pull the backhoe out of the water around 5 p.m.
SteMic has been dredging the bay for nearly five months and this is their first major accident, Jacobsen said.
"It's still an environmental issue, but not as big as it could be," he added.
The Hartmans moved into their home one week ago and chose the neighborhood for its quiet atmosphere and secluded location. Their bushes had to be removed for the crane, but will be replaced at no cost to them. A small dock belonging to another homeowner will also be replaced.
"We moved here for the peace and quiet and all of a sudden all he'll broke loose," Denny said.

Soul's Cookin' with Tony Adamo and Mike Clark
Fred Harris/Urbanzonepushradio New York City,NY
A new conception in soulin' and groove time was born when legendary drummer Mike Clark, co-leader of the Headhunters, formerly (Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters) took one step and beyond by bringing in guitarist/composer/arranger, Steve Homan and jazz, funk organist/arranger, Delbert Bump for session work on Tony Adamo's new CD. Their recording session solidified the soul cookin' groove that is now the foundation for Adamo's new funk music. Bump and Homan have previously recorded with Mike Clark on his CARNIVAL OF SOUL CD. Clark has also brought in high voltage funksters with some heavy souln' in the form of Rob Dixon and Gary Mielke, the co-producers of the Headhunters new PLATINUM CD. Super percussionist and long time Headhunter band member, Bill Summers, laid down his percussion tracks at an earlier recording session with Clark, Dixon and Gary Mielke. Mike Clark will oversee Adamo's recording session starting on October 19, 2011 at the Static Shack Recording, Indianapolis, IN.

Here you go, gentle readers: A sneak peek at the 97% sure cover for My Demon Warlord, My Immortals Series Book 7. This is not the final cover, as in there are still some tweaks to do.

Sneak Peek: Cover of My Demon WarlordSunday, March 1st, 2015
Progress Update for My Immortals Book 7Monday, February 23rd, 2015
I've hit critical mass for My Immortals Books 7. I'm over 50,000 words now which means mostly the story is there and now I just need to write it better. I'm mostly pretty sure that the title will be My Demon Warlord. Final word count will be around 95,000.
I'm doing my first paper read through and I have already completely re-written chapter 1 three times. This is good news, actually, as dire as that sounds. I am revising using a fountain pen with copper ink. This is fun.
The chapter I thought might be chapter 1 is currently chapter 22.
I love doing the first paper read through. It's when magic happens. I see themes I didn't know where there, and that will be interesting to follow through with, and I get to see where things really work and where they don't, and knowing that matters a lot.
And now, back to it.
Writing, Will Write, Have Been Writing. Also: ReadingFriday, February 13th, 2015
My RITA reading is all done. Now I'm back to reading Judith Ivory. It's a slice of reading bliss…
I attended a writing function last night where someone else paid for dinner and I got to chat with lots of Romance authors and persons in the business. But I had to drive to San Francisco and … Hey! I did find parking on the street, there's that! My car, bought used, and now paid for, is getting cranky in its old age. I never know which key (I have two, no, no fob…never never buy a car without a fob….) will actually open the door. Any door. And now I'm never sure which key will actually start the car. One of these days the answer will be "None of them!" Sigh. Anyway, I was glad to find parking because that meant I wouldn't have to give the valet 10 minutes of instructions about what to do if the door(s) won't open and how to voodoo the ignition. But I didn't get home until midnight and I had to be up at 5:15AM — I was at least smart enough to not even try for the 4:00AM workout — and so my point is I'm really tired right now.
I've been working on My Immortals 7 and things are going pretty well. I'm liking the story a lot and am almost at the point where the story is really essentially done and there's not much plot left to deal with.
What the title will be, I don't know yet. I have a few ideas, but nothing I want to commit to yet, and that is why I cannot show you the cover for Book 7 — because the cover is all done except for a place holder title from Book 5. But I love, love, love the cover.
I'm going to be writing another historical novella for a second anthology with Grace Burrowes, Miranda Neville, and Shana Galen. The anthology title should be Dancing in the Duke's Arms. We were able to arrange a custom photo shoot and so provide some very specific requests for poses and emotions to be conveyed for our cover image. We've selected the image we want to use, but there is nothing to show you yet.
Also, I know the story I want to write for the anthology, and it's an idea that keeps nagging at me.
Six weeks into 2015 already! I should be doing my taxes but I'm not. Yet. ::Shrug::
Inspiration – Some of my favorite Bollywood MoviesSaturday, February 7th, 2015
As some of you may know, I am a fan of Bollywood movies. My knowledge and expertise is narrow, but I've been fortunate enough to have people who are knowledgeable provide me with recommendations. Including, as it happens, some members of the offshore development teams I work with.
Here's a list of some of my favorites, with some links to reviews where I've done them. You can find more if you click on my Arjun Rampal Fan Page tab.
This link will take you to my movie review posts, most of them are Bollywood movies so just scroll past the American Sniper review.
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi — This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I love it. You all should watch it. Shah Rukh Kahn.
Om Shanti Om — SRK AND Arjun Rampal
Rajneeti — Arjun with homage to Quentin Tarrantino — so, if violence bothers you, maybe skip, but this is a political film.
The Last Lear — Really really really good movie.
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham — a recent recommendation from one of the offshore devs I work with. This is about family.
Band Baaja Baaraat — @alisharai recommended this on twitter. Super cute movie with a super hot kiss scene.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai — SRK, with one of the hottest shoulder touching scenes in the history of ever. Persevere to the 2nd half of the movie.
My Name is Khan — SRK. I bawled like a baby.
EMI — kind of a silly movie but thoroughly redeemed by one of the love stories — probably a must see for Romance authors.
Mass Reorg AKA Progress!Tuesday, January 20th, 2015
Over the weekend I did my first big reorganization of My Immortals 7. This time around, I'm trying to keep some vague keeping track of stuff in Scrivener, because it's a great tool for that, while doing the actual writing per usual. Scrivener was very helpful in allowing me to structure, label, and organize the story the way I wanted to.
I don't write in scenes. At least so far I don't. But I have chapters that must move together, if I do move things around, because they're linked by time or story flow. And Scrivener made that easy.
But it does mean I didn't write as many words as I'd hoped. On the other hand, because the new order makes me happier and because now everything flows and is paced better, it was easy to see how and where I would up the ante.
I'm off to do that now.
Stuff! That's Going On!Sunday, January 11th, 2015
Well. Did you notice that it's 2015 already? What the?
I'm working on My Immortals 7, which is Kynan and Maddy. I have 21 chapters so far. Everything is in the wrong order at the moment, but that's actually fully expected. I'll be doing another Regency novella scheduled for summer, too. After Immortals 7 and the novella, I start work on the Dark Elf story — the world for the story The King's Dragon, with Mair and Dal Atul.
So. Here is a picture of a rose I took back in November.
Allow me to restate. I didn't take the rose. I took the picture. Just in case you were wondering.
Resolve?Monday, December 29th, 2014
As we close out 2014, I've been thinking about resolutions. I figure I have 6 weeks where I might actually follow a resolution. So, I need some good resolutions. Assuming that "Be a better person" type resolutions are a given, along with "be smarter about money" and "Eat Less Exercise More" here's a few that come to mind:
1. Read more stories;
2. Look in the mirror before I leave the house (possibly disqualified for falling under the "be a better person" category?);
3. Get that body piercing I keep thinking about;
4. Take ALL the risks with the stories I write;
Anything else I should add?
Dead Drop is On Sale Now!Wednesday, December 17th, 2014
Dead Drop, My Immortals Series, Book 6. Demons and Witches for your Reading Pleasure
Palla is a demon warlord's deadly assassin who has no idea how to behave around humans. Wallace Jackson is a pacifist street witch with power she can't access. He's desperate to unlock her magic because only she can help him rescue his former lover from unending suffering. Their unlikely, volatile partnership transforms their lives and their hearts.
This is NOT the novella version. This is rewritten, reordered, and significantly expanded. Go forth and buy. And read. And enjoy. The print version is ready, too. Who wouldn't want demons and witches to read about over the holidays?

The Self-Publishing DelusionTuesday, November 18th, 2014
So, there was this article: Second Thoughts about Self-Publishing over at Publisher's Weekly.
This article is an example of what I call the Self-Publishing Delusion. It goes like this: someone who did not do anything like enough research into the new publishing landscape self-publishes a book and is disappointed that he's not a NYT Bestselling author. Follows from this, an article all about how Self-Publishing isn't all the thing after all.
As is the case here. The author, in 2012, decided to self-publish his novel. In print only. A novel he seems to have marketed only to friends and family and only using traditional methods to gain attention. His second novel did not do as well as the first and now he is sad and disappointed because apparently books must be marketed. My God, the crass commercialism.
Dude. Are you serious?
Who the hell, even in 2012, would think self-publishing = CreateSpace? Five minutes of mediocre Google-fu should have uncovered the limitations of CreateSpace as a vehicle that reaches traditional outlets OR readers. If you want to be an author, then there is no justification for not doing due-diligence. And due diligence would have meant a month or more (and you'd need less, to be honest) researching the heck out of your publishing plans. The kind of research that justifies making any dollar investment in a business decision should have included things like, who are the leading self-publishers and what/how/why are they doing?
If he'd done that, here's what he would have found out:
- CreateSpace does not = traditional print publication.
- By doing ONLY a print book, he did not each the core avid reader, because they read digital.
- By choosing ONLY CreateSpace, he was unable to get into traditional print outlets.
- In 2012, the dual strategy of CreateSpace and Lightning Source was still a viable work-around to the Book Store problem. The fact that he did not do enough research to find Alan Shepard's site is a huge red flag.
- Writing careers rarely have trajectory after only two books. Research beyond what's said in the traditional publishing space would have uncovered that his expectations were unrealistic in any publishing venue. A self-publisher should reassess after 5-10 books under-perform. Not two. (Snarky aside: a traditionally published author won't have that luxury.)
- If he'd paid any attention to what traditionally published authors experience in the business he would have found out that all authors, traditionally published or self-published, carry the majority of the marketing burden.
And that's just a response to what he says of his experience in "self-publishing."
Inform your Decision
You, the author, need to investigate every aspect of the business of New Publishing. You, the author, are solely responsible for understanding the disconnect between what traditional publishers say and what authors say. You, the author, must understand who is succeeding in all spheres of publishing and figure out why and what that means for your strategy.
The traditional publishing space has a vested interest in perpetuating several myths about the business of being an author. Places like PW and DBW put out an astonishing amount of disinformation about that. Likewise, there are people and companies who have a vested interest in selling services to authors. All those claims must be examined, parsed, and dissected.
There's a reason many, many mid-list authors are leaving traditional publishing or diversifying their careers with both. You, the author, must understand why that is. How can you make a sound business decision without knowing the pitfalls of both?
Of course he did not have the results he wanted and hoped for. If he'd done his research, his self-publishing plan would have looked very different. Instead, he approached the business of being an author as an ill-informed newbie who stayed ill-informed. His lack of research means he didn't do any of the things known to increase book sales and build a career. He gave up too soon.
In short, he fell prey to traditional publishing delusions about self-publishing.
Really?Friday, October 31st, 2014
Agent Andrew Wylie had this to say:
"I believe with the restored health of the publishing industry and having some sense of where this sort of Isis-like distribution channel, Amazon, is going to be buried and in which plot of sand they will be stuck, [publishers] will be able to raise the author's digital royalty to 40% or 50%," he said. "Writers will begin to make enough money to live."
Quoted in The Guardian
[publishers] will be able to raise the author's digital royalty to 40% or 50%," he said. "Writers will begin to make enough money to live.
What alternate universe is Wylie living in?
1. ISIS-like? Are you kidding me? We'll start with insensitive and offensive and leave it there, actually.
2. Publishers have had 80 years to position themselves to pay writers more money. What they've done, since before Amazon, is reduce the money they pay authors. Why on earth should any writer believe that the demise of Amazon will mean authors will FINALLY be paid more?
Oh wait. I forgot. Wlyie only represents literary authors whose advances are funded by paying less money to the writers of genres that actually make money.
Let's see here, continue self-publishing and earning 30-70% of the price I set or …. Accept 40% or 50% of net, maybe. Someday.
Well, gosh. No, sir.

discover an abiding sentiment: they are no longer alone. Olga Baclanova lent to the role of the murderess a passivity and a hidden energy, a sort of parsimony of effort which made the character singularly real; but more than anything else The Docks of New York was notable because of its photography. Seldom have we seen anything more beautiful than the scenes with which the film opens, the glistening bodies of the stokers in the oily steam, the smoky port with its fog, or than the low bar where, as a joke, Bancroft decides to marry his drowned woman and, in the midst of an incredible uproar, sends for the clergyman. As in Underworld, American vitality is added to the beauty of misty outlines and of faces half-hidden in shadow. In The Docks of New York the silent film reached a kind of perfection evermore to be regretted, which gave hope that through this German the American film was about to become humanized. He created two or three stirring and powerful films and provided a dramatic model full of verve and vigor.
In a different realm some remarkable technicians outside the studios had perfected the animated cartoon: Max Fleischer had created Koko, and Pat Sullivan had given us Felix the Cat, whose absurd adventures, which seldom obeyed the laws of reason, transported us to Alice in Wonderland's world. These animals with their quaint bodies created a sort of grotesque poetry, half fable and half nonsense, which had the charm of a child's dream. These films had real value and were to have further uses.
IT IS impossible to restrain a feeling of melancholy when one comes to the end of reviewing the chief events in silent-film history. Between 1927 and 1930 this form gradually expired, first in America and then in Europe. It is difficult to regard what came to take its place as a sufficient consolation, despite any number of excellent films. Not everything about the silent film was perfect, but at the end of its short life it possessed an enor-

Tidal flats, which are important reserved land resources, have a vital role in climate change. To evaluate the contribution of coastal saline soils to carbon sequestration, field tests were performed over a 3 year period at the Dafeng Wanggang Experimental Station in Jiangsu Province, China. Six artificial agro-ecosystems, including wasteland (WL), freshwater fish culture (FC), Sesbania culture (SC), barley culture (BC), mixed culture of fish and Sesbania (MCFS) and mixed culture of fish and barley (MCFB), were established according to developmental processes of coastal saline soils. At the initial stage of tidal flat reclamation, the soil organic carbon (SOC) increased by 59.4 t ha−1 in the FC system during 3 years, which was much higher than that of the WL system (40.7 t ha−1). When the tidal flats evolved into high saline soils, the MCFS system sequestered SOC more effectively than the FC or SC systems with increases of 53.1, 16.9 and 8.3 t ha−1, respectively. Subsequently, in the low saline soils, the maximum soil carbon sequestration was obtained in the MCFB system (35.8 t ha−1) followed by the BC (17.5 t ha−1) and FC (13.5 t ha−1) systems. Therefore, proper development of tidal flats to farmland and the subsequent establishment of optimised artificial agro-ecosystems make an important contribution to carbon sequestration and climate changes in coastal areas.

Court Denies Request to Halt Instant Racing
A public policy group's request to halt Instant Racing at Kentucky Downs was denied by the Kentucky Court of Appeals Oct. 5.
A public policy group's request to halt Instant Racing at Kentucky Downs was denied by the Kentucky Court of Appeals Oct. 5.
The Family Foundation of Kentucky continued its efforts to halt Instant Racing at Kentucky Downs Sept. 21 when it asked state Attorney General Jack Conway to classify the games as illegal slot machines.
Citing increased numbers of patrons attracted by Instant Racing, Kentucky Downs reported live on-track handle for its four-day all-turf meet increased 2.9% to total $313,614.

During Ellis Park's 31-day day race meet July 2-Sept. 5, the Henderson, Ky. track saw declines in all-source handle that were in line with the overall decrease in 2011 U.S. betting on Thoroughbred racing.
The Family Foundation of Kentucky has filed an injunction in the Kentucky Court of Appeals to halt the operation of Instant Racing machines at Kentucky Downs.
Kentucky Downs Sept. 1 officially became the first racetrack in the state to operate expanded pari-mutuel wagering in the form of Instant Racing machines.
Amid the uncertainty of reception in the marketplace and a lingering legal challenge, Kentucky Downs officially christened expanded pari-mutuel wagering via Instant Racing machines during an evening reception Aug. 30.
Kentucky Downs will inaugurate Instant Racing in Kentucky Sept. 1 and believes the form of pari-mutuel wagering can help restore "vibrancy" to the state's horse racing industry.
The president of Kentucky Downs said the track is nearing completion of work needed to implement a form of Instant Racing and that it will be a "first class" operation and that the opening date will be announced soon.
When Kentucky Downs becomes the first Kentucky track to implement Instant Racing, it will do so with the takeout from the electronic games allocated to purses during the first year being used to help defray startup costs.
The president of Kentucky Downs says action by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission July 14 approving a new form of exotic wagering that uses electronic machines will provide an economic and morale boost to the industry.
The staff of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission is recommending that the regulatory body on July 14 grant approval to Kentucky Downs to become the first track in the state to implement Instant Racing.
It appears Kentucky Downs will be the first racetrack in the state to apply to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission for an Instant Racing license.

Kentucky Downs wrapped up its 16th season of live racing with increases in on-track business for its six-day turf-only race meet that ended Sept. 23.
Entering the $200,000 Kentucky Cup Turf (gr. IIIT), Rumor Has It had not hit the winner's circle since Nov. 5, 2005. The 7-year-old gelding was 0-for-10 during that span, which was why he was sent off at odds of 59-1 Sept. 13 before romping to a 3 3/4-length victory.

Developments are under way that could wipe batteries off the face of the Earth. Researchers at the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI), a consortium of Oregon educational institutions, say they have made significant breakthroughs in a power source that essentially turns 20 pounds of batteries into 8 ounces of fuel the size of a cigarette lighter.
The immediate aim is to use nanotechnology — science on the tiniest scale — to replace cumbersome military batteries and eventually power everything "from cell phones up to systems that run a tank," said Kevin Drost, ONAMI's co-director of research.
A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. By comparison, a human DNA molecule is 2.5 nanometers wide and a cold virus is about 20 nanometers. Scientists have found that matter this small behaves differently than larger particles, meaning perhaps monumental changes ahead.
So far, spill-resistant jeans and stronger tennis rackets have been trotted out as nanotech wonders. Now defense-related projects are beginning to bear fruit.
ONAMI's pocket-power source is good news for soldiers who carry equipment such as night-vision technology, communications and a Global Positioning System unit and burn through batteries daily. Batteries are not only heavy, but they present a supply-chain challenge because soldiers need frequent shipments for replenishment in remote locations.
ONAMI researchers say they have bypassed that problem by developing nanotechnology liquid-fuel cells.
Their first working prototype for the fuel cells is in conjunction with a portable air-conditioning system that will keep a soldier cool in hot climates. The unit runs on hydrocarbon fuel and will be the size of a paperback book weighing about 3.5 pounds.
Mr. Drost said the system is not pie in the sky; a usable unit will be ready in three to five years.
Nanotechnology-structured products are attractive to the military because they can shrink equipment while boosting its performance, according to Mihail Roco, the National Science Foundation's senior adviser on nanotechnology.
"Nanotechnology offers advantages of smallness, speed and complexity that was not possible before," he said.
Nanotech-based sensors that detect anthrax molecules before they become a threat are already being used in Iraq, Mr. Roco said, though he wouldn't give details.
"As these products move into production, they become classified."
ONAMI's nano-based battery alternative is one result of $24 million in nanotech funding won in 2003 from sources such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. The consortium is part of Oregon's "Silicon Forest," a cluster of high-tech research and development institutions that represents the state's ambition to join leaders California, Massachusetts, Illinois and Texas.
ONAMI has a $21 million annual budget from the Oregon legislature and relies on the work of about 70 researchers. It hopes to win a chunk of the $3.7 billion 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act signed by President Bush in December 2003.
Skip Rung, ONAMI's executive director, said engineers design and modify tiny fractal structures referred to as "microchannels," passages the width of a human hair or smaller. Once optimized in the required way, the microchannels greatly accelerate energy and chemical processes.

Shapiro: We Have to Stop Treating Liberal Groups with Civility
When Editor-At-Large of Breitbart News, Ben Shapiro, shows up on Glenn Beck's radio program to promote his new book, "Bullies: How the Left's Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans," what do you think they talk about?
Why, the need for "civility" of course!
Shapiro claimed that groups like Media Matters colluded with the White House in weekly meetings where they plotted strategy on how to destroy Beck by monitoring his program in order to find clips they could take out of context and then use to target his advertisers and ultimately drive him off the air.
"These are not pro-First Amendment people," said Shapiro. "These are not pro-free speech people. These are not pro-civility people. They're not civil and we have to stop treating them as though civility is going to win the day ... The moral high ground doesn't do us a lot of good when we're fighting people who are absolute thugs."
Shapiro justified his call to stop being civil with liberals on the grounds that there is some of a "Geneva Convention with regard to civility" whereby only those who abide by the convention deserve its protections. And since liberals basically operate like terrorists, they are not entitled to the convention's guarantees of civility; an idea that Beck thought was absolutely "profound":
Again, this was Glenn Beck and the Editor-At-Large of Breitbart News claiming that other people are uncivil and therefore undeserving of being treated with civility.
