Taken from the Boy Scout Website:
"The Boy Scouts of America relies on dedicated volunteers to promote its mission of preparing young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law".
When an organization such as Scouting maintains their unwavering stance on solid principles which have not changed in 100 years, we can rest assured that it can weather any storm SO LONG AS SCOUTING IS UNITED in this endeavor. When the institution begins to cowtow to RELATIVISM, it no longer stands united; rather it begins to erode those very principles clearly stated in the Scout Law and Oath which have given it strength and fortitude over the last century. 10 years ago, Scouting won a major Supreme Court case which allowed the organization to hold firm to their principles. If this decision to allow each unit on their own to decide whether or not they wish to redefine these same principles pushes through, Scouting will splinter as an organization and membership will assuredly decline over the course of time. An organization, like a house, can not stand long if its very foundation is compromised.
The foundations of the Scouting Movement, the Scout Oath and Law, were based on morals and ethics which are unwavering in their importance, especially now in this current age of relativism. Don't let the directionless drifting of our society erode an institution which may be the last best hope of our young men's future and the future of this great nation.

The storyline and the results of the 2012 Oregon Trail Rally mimicked the 2011 edition of the event with Subaru Rally Team USA's David Higgins again leading from the start and pulling away for victory. The win, his fourth Oregon Trail Rally career victory, vaults Higgins even farther out of reach of his rivals in the points standings as he seeks to defend his 2011 Rally America Championship title. Higgins and his co-driver Craig Drew kept their mettle while at the wheel of their BFGoodrich Tires-shod 2012 Subaru WRX STI after their closest challenger dropped out of the event and Higgins ran nearly unchallenged for a large portion of the event.
Higgins' dominating win at Oregon had its only hiccup early on the second day as he slid off a slippery, rain soaked, corner at high speed. The #75 Subaru WRX STI literally bounced back on the road but the encounter with the scenery inflicted moderate damage to the suspension along with mild body damage. Higgins was able to drive back to the subsequent scheduled service and a quick repair from his service crew put his STI back on the charge.
"This is a big win for us and gives us a really firm grip on the championship," explained Higgins. "We took maximum points and Antoine [L'Estage], our closest rival, did not finish, so it couldn't have gone any better really. Our Subaru was just perfect, it's so well suited for these conditions and really proved this weekend to be equally as tough too."

Dear all,
It was a great experience having you all involved in our project "Painted Hands". Thanks a lot for all your inputs, ideas, etc. As I promissed, here it is the outcome of last monday (for the immediate future):
I dediced to start with a trial in the Kindergarden where my daughter goes. Tomorrow I´ll have a conversation with the director of I-Kids. The pilot project goes like this:
Afterschool art session in I-Kids New Zealand (2 sessions/one purpose: create a Christmas present)
Session by donation: One part will be destined to cover the cost of the art materials
The other portion to buy art supplies for children in need from Venezuela
The same activity will be organized in a Venezuelan school with children of the same age as the ones in New Zealand but no donation will be required from the families since they live in poverty.
Who will deliver the sessions:
In NZ: Elizabeth Parra + 2 or 3 engaged mothers/fathers of I-kids.
In Venezuela: Teachers of the chosen school.
What do you say?
I´m looking forward to start! Thank you again ;)
All the best to the rest of the projects!!!

Hey Everyone, have decided to finally just do it and quit the Kratom, I'v quit it a few times before with bad withdrawals but was easy enough to do. This time it feels alot harder. For the last week I'm on the leaf so I'm hoping that helps. I have a supply of xanax and loperamide, does anyone know if that combo could help me, my habit is near a year now. Im doing a big walk across France and Spain with my girlfriend so I have to be off it by the time we go. She hates me on it and gives me serious shit about it and I reckon she would finish with me if she knew I was still on it.
I have never really been on anything else other than kratom and alcohol but found kratom to be a source of serious pleasure that snuck up on me and is now affecting my life way more than I like. While it may be mild in comparison to opiates I guess you have to pay the piper sometime in someway.
I'd be happy for any advice or ideas from anyone, I'm glad I can bitch about this here, have felt alone with this for ages, even went to doctors and councellors with no help, I would of got more help if I was addicted to poppy pod tea.

Hey Father Stack, Welcome to Bluelight. Is looking forward to the trek across Spain and France getting you the motivation to put aside the kratom? Sometimes setting a date and tapering is what works for some people. I have no kratom experience so I'll be watching this thread for some more knowledgeable people to chime in. Best of luck on getting past kratom and enjoying your trip.

09-05-2009 00:33Even tho Iv quit kratom before, I forgotten how bad the anxiety and depression is. I have been very depressed even when I was on kratom sometimes but it's a pain in the ass. I feel raw and that I'm depressed and anxious and feel like reality is too gritty at the moment. I went all day untill 8.30 and then burned some. Feel ok now but really hungry. It's amazing how you think your prepared and then you get a kick up the ass of some anxiety that you did'nt think you would get. Anyway it's great to say it out somewhere, thanks guys.
09-05-2009 01:49
can you take other non opiate stuff for anxiety?
I have anxiety and depression today really bad and I dont know why.
09-05-2009 04:19
list your w/d symptoms, then try to find a medicine/cure for each one
pain - aleve, exercise, hot baths, any other non opiate pain relievers
anxiety - xanax, but only short term, also very addictive, take it only as needed, preferably not everyday
stomach issues - loperamide will work just fine
Restless Leg Sydnrome - Xanax or other benzos
insomnia - ambien or other sleep meds, again only if absolutely necessary, you are doing something in the morning and need the sleep
exercise and take lots of hot baths/showers
you might have lower appetite, maybe make yourself a few days worth of chicken/beef soup and put it in the fridge so you can drink a cup here and there and still have some nutrients.

I have a lot of experience with kratom withdrawal... I've been using it daily with a few times quitting/breaks for about 4 years. The worst part for me is the extreme restlessness and not knowing what to do with my time (boredom).
The boredom can be combatted by going outside and doing stuff. Schedule your day so you have a lot of things to do.
The restlessness/discomfort can be helped with loperamide, definitely. Large doses will reduce the restlessness and give you a bit of overall relief, although it's certainly nothing like kratom. Alcohol can help if you get really desperate, but of course it would be worse to be addicted to alcohol. The last time I quit I got drunk 3 nights in a row so I could sleep at least a bit. The restlessness almost totally prevents sleep for me.
The good news is that for me at least the withdrawals last 4-5 days, and then they're over. Then the key will be to replace the role that kratom played in your life with something else.
Good luck. I've gotta do this again some day. It costs WAY too much money and I hate being a slave to a plant.

09-05-2009 16:57Ye, I think no1reason for quitting is being a slave to the plant. I am still taking small amounts but no extracts or large amounts. I have felt very anxious and depressed lately so I'm sure thats part of lowering my dose. Tommorow I plan to 24 hours without any at all. I fully realize Iv got to quit now, I'm going easy on myself but I plan to be off it soon. One of the worst things I'v come to realize is that when Iv not taken it for a while the world looks very gritty and uncomfortable, even watching TV can be very uncomortable. It's an awful feeling hard to describe. I also think everyone has a different experience. I am also yahoo messanging a girl whos going throught the same stuff, I plan to give myself as much support as possible which really helps the mind.
I drink those protein shakes, Iv lost loads of weight nd Im sure its cause I always spaced out eating to accomodate keeping my kratom buzz going, thats a slave. I find the xanax to definitely help the anxiety but I feel guilty for taking it afterwards which ads to the whole thing.
Thanks for all the posts, it defo makes me feel that I'm not alone, all in all I'm sorry I kept taking kratom because if I could of controlled it, it would be the best rewardafter a long week!

07-02-2010 00:44somebody please help! i'm hooked on kratom. can someone give me a taper schedule and/or help with loperamide,cimetidine? please, please help!
07-02-2010 01:09
I'd start by figuring out how much you take and writing a taper schedule for yourself that will use up your remaining kratom... don't buy any more of course!
There is no way to not have w/ds, but as was mentioned above, you can medicate for each symptom. Also, get out and exercise.

07-02-2010 02:14damn.... I tried kratom ONE time when I was withdrawaling from a small fentanyl and heroin binge I had like 2 summers ago.. It was some pretty weak stuff. People actually get addicted and withdrawals from this stuff???!!! hahahaha.... Seriously guys, You don't know what pure agony and suffering is untill you have had the W/D's from an IV heroin habit, and your connect is out of town for 3 days. Does kratom withdrawal leave you on the bathroom floor in the fetal position in a pool of your own diarrhea shit with goose bumps and throwing up all over yourself?

07-02-2010 02:33Hey- if this guy feels like he's suffering without Kratom- then let's take him at his word. He feels like he needs help, period. It may not be heroin but it's the withdrawal he's experiencing.
Stack- codeine is readily available in France. The French pharmacies are very liberal and hangovers are often treated with codeine mixtures. The codeine should keep you ok but only take it AT NIGHT as needed. Try not to take more than 60mg and you should be able to sleep if that's a problem. Otherwise- I recommend you tough out the days. Hiking is awesome during any type of withdrawal.
07-02-2010 11:40
Never done Kratom, but I'd just treat it like any other opiate withdrawal (tons of threads on remedies). It affects the mu-opioid receptor so it has similar effects to a weak opiate.
You should be fine, just take immodium and as little of the xanax as possible. I mean seriously, are you going to risk losing this girl over Kratom, of all things?

Is being an asshole needed?
W/d's are w/d's no matter how you slice it. And while you think kratom is a mild drug, it still is an opiate and still can cause dependency, and he will still get opiate w/d. For someone who has only used that, and no other drug, its going to suck. And he is looking for some help, not someone to laugh at him.
Just because you think your cool by experiencing H w/d, doesn't mean you are. Maybe with your group of junkies, but not here man.
Anyways on topic:
|How much Kratom are you using? The best plan would be a taper. Gradually reduce you dose little by little. Take just enough where you are comfortable. stay at that level for a week, and gradually lower yourself. When you are as low as possible, jump off.
Benzo's, Benadryll, and imodium will help you out. try to stay busy, I find if you are out and about, not matter how crappy you feel, it always seems to help me out.
Good luck.

For mild opiate withdrawals I find a positive frame of mind, a couple beers and some bud can really help. Just do not make it a habit (except for the positive thinking of course), many a former opiate user turns to the booze after they drop the opiate use. Frankly, I find the legal one much more conducive to living a functional life though.

Uh... it may not be an IV heroin habit but it certainly does cause withdrawals. I used to be a kratom addict before I moved on to poppy tea and can recall having withdrawals when I wouldn't use, particularly depression. I'll admit that kratom withdrawals were a walk in the park compared to PPT withdrawals, but lets not belittle anyones experience here okay? Opiate withdrawal is opiate withdrawal and it's unpleasant to varying degrees dependent on individual factors, the drugs used, and doses taken. If he/she says they're suffering, then I believe them.

I have quit taking kratom twice by tapering before although admittedly I am on it again right now and will be starting my own taper soon.
You can make your own taper schedule depending on how fast you want to quit. The quicker the more discomfort I would imagine.
The thing to do here is start keeping a log of your doses. Weigh all of them so that they are all the exact same. This stabilizes the level of the active ingredients (Mytragynine?) in your body. Stay like this for a couple days at least then lower it by a certain amount and then stabilize at this dose for a few days before lowering it again. I lowered mine about .5 grams each time as I was taking 4 grams every 3 hours. If you follow this pattern it isn't that uncomfortable at all. You can adjust this depending on how quickly you want to taper and how much your taking.
I suggest you buy some phenibut to take on the days you lower your dose. You will feel almost nothing. The worst symptom I get is restless legs and muscle aches. It can be very irritating and almost impossible to sleep and phenibut is very effective for this.

Tapering seems like a good, plan. My buddy has limited experience with kratom, but he urges anyone that taper with kratom make sure that the dosage drops are a little larger when compared to other taper plans. This would allow one to be fully sure that they are indeed reducing the dose. A .5 gram dosage adjustment seems fine.
Really the most important part about any taper is a true commitment to it. Its all about getting into the mindframe of taking steps to take care of a problem, rather then getting high to avoid that problem. Sounds basic but its huge.

28-02-2010 00:08I've quit kratom three times since I started using it over 3-4 years ago. I would use it daily and up to six times a day and every time I quit I did it cold turkey. The first time it took one day, second time it took three days, third time took five and the last one took nearly 10 days! I had to waste an entire week's vacation to get off of it. I certainly could not work while coping with the wds. And now I am back on the stuff and would really like to get off the stuff for good. It's too damned expensive and I'm sick and tired of having to plan ahead to make sure my next order won't be late and risk wds on work days.
Like I said, I've been totally abusing kratom, it helped me with depression and got me through the hell of work (which I hate). I even take kratom openly at work, nobody asks me what it is and for the rare ones that do, I just tell them it's a natural herb which helps me against depression and loss of energy. All of this to say that I've come up with certain "recipes" to make the wds less of a pain.
The best thing for me to alleviate the pain and RSL... is coffee. A nice big cup of coffee always helps me for a couple of hours. You won't be able to sleep at all, so might as well just dampen the pain with a warm cup of coffee. I tried tea and other warm drinks, but coffee is the only thing that helped. Take a lot of really hot baths and relax as much as possible. Make sure you are in a warm environment, cold is your enemy here as it will worsen your symptoms. As for depression, I would also equip myself with some strong 5-htp pills which I would take 2-3 times a day. It won't get rid of the depression, but it will help a bit.
The only thing I have never been able to escape is the restlessness/lack of sleep. I've tried melatonine, but it never did anything for me. The few hours of sleep I did get throughout the week were due to sheer exhaustion. And no matter what you do, you will have to struggle with bouts of absolute torment. Every day, at least once in a while I found myself shaking uncontrollably on the sofa, my face dug deep into a pillow, moaning away in pain, eyes all teary and itching.
It might not be heroin wds, like that prick who thinks he's so cool and manly to have gone through, but kratom wds are hellish enough and not walk in the park as some would suggest. I am completely incapacitated for the first couple of days and need to busy myself as best I can during those first few days. After day three-four or for me five, you'll ba able to walk about and do a few things, but you'll be in terrible shape and the depression is to be reckoned with.
Anyway, good luck. I'm planning to quit in May (another week's vacation gone) and hopefully it will be for good. If anyone has any solutions as to a way to get some sleep (and perhaps avoid the coffee) would be welcome. I would prefer not having to go to the doctor to get precription drugs, but if it's the only way... Here in Canada you can't just buy whatever drug you might want to test against wds, so my ears are open to new formulas...

28-02-2010 03:19took a look at this thread again, and wanted to apologize for being a douche bag in my post up above. Not sure what I was thinking at that time, sure it has something to do with my occasional methadone crankiness... Opiate withdrawal sucks and I have extreme empathy for anybody going through opiate withdrawal, cause I know mine were complete hell and suffering. Kratom is an opiate isn't it? And by the way to the cool guy that posted after me, when did I say i was cool for experiencing heroin withdrawals? go back to poppin lortabs buddy, and quit trying to be an e-badass

01-04-2010 00:40Hey Guys, Iv just read this after many months, just to update you,
1. I got off the Kratom
2. I got onto Codeine
3. I got off of Codeine
4. I got onto Codeine again
5. Im now off all substances except stout, which is a birthright:
When I was in France I felt bad, in total withdrawal and had to walk 25/30km a day that I CWE'd a box of N+ i had in my bag and that was it, I started taking probably 200mg of Codeine a day in pill form such as n+, It made me forget all about Kratom. I withdrew from the codeine twice and was alright, i did it twice and can say it's not as bad as kratom w/d, however its still a pain in the ass to w/d from. I still really think Kratom is safer than any opiate and was an asshole to go there. since then iv gotten healthy even, still go for loads of walks, play wii for hours, all the excercise games, and get a blanced amount of opiate stimulation form excercise. I have on occasion gone to then headshop and relapsed with the "K" but it looks like kratom will be banned here soon. This is a total shame as i know people who were serious addicts to hard opiates were given a godsend when kratom became known to them.
Thanks to all you guys,

Nouvella is looking for a PR intern
Sunday, September 22nd, 2013
About Nouvella
Nouvella is an independent publisher dedicated to novellas by emerging authors. The press utilizes the LAUNCH program, wherein the reading community can invest in the career of an emerging author by purchasing a "share" in the author during a designated one-week period. For every share purchased, the patron will receive a limited edition, hand-signed copy of the novella, a letter from the author, and an e-book version.
The books are small, designed to fit in your back pocket or your purse, to take with you wherever you go. Two hundred "share" packages are available during the author's LAUNCH week; after the week is over, the book will be available for its list price on the site. It will also be available via Small Press Distribution and various booksellers.
Our authors have gone on to sell books to Riverhead and Little, Brown, and our novellas have been featured as the Amazon Best Books of December Debut Spotlight and have been awarded the National Jewish Book Award for Outstanding Debut Fiction.
Job Description
Nouvella is looking for an unpaid, part-time Public Relations Intern to assist with traditional and new media during book launches. The position will last six months, for 5-10 hours a week, and has the opportunity to extend. This is a telecommuting position, though preference will be given to candidates in the Los Angeles area that have the ability to meet with staff members periodically.
We are looking primarily for college students majoring in publicity and marketing, but if you are a college grad and couldn't be more perfect for the job, we want to hear from you too!
- Draft press releases
- Liaise with press and bloggers to coordinate author interviews and reviews
- Participate in marketing strategy meetings and campaign implementation unique to each launch
- Other marketing assistance as needed
Basically, we're looking for someone smart, reliable, passionate, and good at what they do—someone who can bring fresh ideas to the table and who is constantly engaged with the literary community. Bonus points for those that are eager to talk about what they're currently reading (and sometimes baseball) in our weekly staff emails.
How to Apply
If this sounds good to you, please send a resume and one-paragraph cover letter in the body of your email to editors (at) nouvellabooks.com with the subject line "PR INTERN." We look forward to hearing from you!
Twice the size
Friday, April 19th, 2013
…editorially speaking. Nouvella has recently added a couple of super sharp editorial assistants to our masthead. Without further ado, Eve Gleichman and Melissa MacEwen. (And Emma and I did the questionnaire too, because we didn't want to feel left out.)
Eve Gleichman, editorial assistant
Last thing I read that was so good, not only did it knock my socks off, it stole them forever: Tenth of December by George Saunders
Currently reading: The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer
Favorite novella: Goodbye, Columbus by Philip Roth
Favorite libation: Earl Grey
If someone absolutely forced me to recite some poetry, I would recite: From the desk of Derek Walcott: "I would have learnt to love black days like bright ones/The black rain, the white hills, when once/I loved only my happiness and you."
Melissa MacEwen, editorial assistant
Last thing I read that was so good, not only did it knock my socks off, it stole them forever: Slouching Toward Bethlehem by Joan Didion. I read this in California during the summertime; I will never forget commuting an hour and a half on the train to my internship every day and daydreaming about the Santa Ana wind. My senior thesis will be partially inspired by this book, that's how much I loved it.
Currently reading: McSweeney's 42; Underworld by Don DeLillo. About to start The Serpent and the Rainbow by Wade Davis.
Favorite novella: I honestly haven't read very many novellas; I've been meaning to read The Eye by Vladimir Nabokov for a while now.
Favorite libation: Red wine. Yes, I'm a snob.
If someone absolutely forced me to recite some poetry, I would recite: "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe (my grandfather and I are both obsessed and we've both memorized extensive portions of it).
Emma Bushnell, associate editor
Last thing I read that was so good, not only did it knock my socks off, it stole them forever: The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer. Every time I picked up my copy I was excited to dive back into the turbulent lives of my new friends. The novel unfolds more like life than a story with a beginning, middle, and end does. It follows five friends from their meeting as teens at an idyllic arts camp in the Berkshires as they grow from their ironic adolescent selves through all the stages of adulthood into their late fifties. Wolitzer masterfully guides her characters on their own individual paths as they discover what comes of early talent and how relationships evolve with age and circumstance. It's one of those fat books that still isn't fat enough; you want to keep continuing and continuing so these characters can enjoy longer lives than the ones Wolitzer has given them on the page.
Currently reading: Mrs. Woolf and the Servants by Alison Light. Nonfiction is rare for me, but what's a Virginia Woolf die-hard to do when she reads this essay on The Millions?
Favorite novella: Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. My favorite novella, though it takes as long to read as a novel because of the sentences as dense and rich as a Burdick's hot chocolate.
Favorite libation: Now I'm tempted to say Burdick's, but that's no fun. I will never say no to a nice basil gimlet.
If someone absolutely forced me to recite some poetry, I would recite: I am known to get through the third stanza of Tennyson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade," no matter the interest level of my gimleted comrades-in-arms.
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Last thing I read that was so good, not only did it knock my socks off, it stole them forever: Play it As it Lays by Joan Didion. It's unrelenting. Devastating, and then more devastating.
Currently reading: All That Is by James Salter. It's very Salter-y.
Favorite novella: We Don't Live Here Anymore by Andre Dubus. I did my full profession of awe for Novella Month last year. Also: Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx.
Favorite libation: A greyhound. I also love champagne, especially celebratory and/or free champagne, which is very different than cheap champagne.
If someone absolutely forced me to recite some poetry, I would recite: "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, though I don't think I'd get much further than "I met a traveler from an antique land." After that, I'd have to resort to some Shel Silverstein.
Nouvella is sweet on you
Friday, February 8th, 2013
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and we are here to help woo your smarty-sweetheart. Or else creep out your smarty would-be sweetheart. Either way, these Valentines are the perfect thing to share with that bookish someone.
Have a better line? We want to hear it. Submit your best literary come-hither on Twitter using #LiteraryComeOns; the three best entries (picked by the Nouvella staff, as we enjoy V-day with our cats) submitted by Wednesday, February 13th will join our series of cards, and the winners get a free book (or tote bag) of their choice from our store.
Getting Familiar
Sunday, November 18th, 2012
And so we find ourselves at the end of another launch!—Well, okay, this is coming about a week late, but we were busy on the road for release parties in LA and NYC this past week. A big huge thank you to all who participated in the launch and came to the release events.
If you didn't get a launch package, regular copies are officially for sale in our store. It's also available through our distributor, SPD, which is where you'll want to head if you're a bookseller. Amazon, Barnes & Noble and iTunes are all carrying the e-book (and addition to us, of course, and we'll love you the most if you buy direct). Amazon will be carrying hard copies soon, but apparently they were having issues last week, so stay tuned if that's your venue of preference.
If you missed out on the LA release, Panio will be reading at Book Soup for a party for the very hip Rattling Wall on December 13th. Mark your calendar.
Lastly, the holidays are very suddenly upon us. We've got some neat stuff planned for holiday sales, so check back in for some Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals (by the way, does anyone else hate the word "cyber" as much as I do?).
Oh, and next on the launch pad? Derek Palacio with How to Shake the Other Man launching in late winter 2013. Start your search engines, friends. It's going to knock your stockings off.
Thanks, as always, for being bookish and supporting our endeavors here. Happy cookie season!
Helter Swelter
Sunday, July 1st, 2012
So summer is here, which indicates the arrival of any number of liberating things, but chief among them is what we book-ish types refer to as "summer reading" (which, in my opinion, means nothing other than you get to read whatever you want.) Last month, in honor of Novella Month, we compiled a list of recommended novellas via Twitter, so if you're looking to bolster your summer reading with some medium-sized fiction, the list is here. Thanks to all who participated; we had a terrific time discovering all the novellas we didn't know about, and we'll be announcing the three winners of Nouvella subscriptions shortly, so stay tuned.
In other news, while we've mentioned it here and there over the last few months, we're thrilled to officially announce our next title: A Familiar Beast by Panio Gianopoulus. Our second novella of 2012 will be coming your way mid-September, so check back with us soon for more details. In the meantime, you can follow @panio on Twitter, where he keeps a Game of Thrones-centric feed (which is really the best kind of feed.)
And speaking of new things: there are changes afoot at Nouvella! We're pleased to announce that we are now officially distributed by Small Press Distribution, which means easier access for bookstores and for the general reading public. Initially, for our first two releases, physical copies were only available here during launch week and later, at a select bookstores, but we realized that a good number of readers who found out about the release post-launch were having a heck of a time tracking down a physical copy. Which made us sad. So from here on out, launch week will work a little differently: "share" packages will be limited to 300, and for a set price, each investor will receive a signed and numbered 1st edition copy of the book, a handwritten thank-you note from the author, and an e-book. After the launch week is over, copies of the novella will be available for their list price through the site, through the SPD website, and through various booksellers. More books = more reading = more happiness. (So if you didn't get a copy way back when, The Last Repatriate and The Sensualist can be secured through the SPD site now; booksellers, check out the booksellers tab for store discounts.)
Lastly, in case you are somehow follow us on Twitter and don't follow Electric Literature (I think there are maybe…3 of you), we're pleased as pie to announce that we are a partner for their new venture Recommended Reading. It's a terrific, community-curated project that aims to deliver one incredible story to the literary masses once a week. They're about a month and a half in, so if you haven't checked it out yet, you've got a healthy archive to look through already. What this means for us is that we'll be excerpting novellas in Recommended Reading before they're released. It's what the French might call "super chouette."
Other than that, we hope you all have the loveliest summer and that it's not too sweaty (unless you'd like it to be.) We'll be rolling out more on A Familiar Beast before you know it, so keep your antennae turned our way.

For those of you that are curious about our next book, you can sneak a peek at Daniel Torday at least twice:
Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m Daniel will be on the following panel:
R115. A Room with a Review: The Art of Literary Criticism
(Andrew Ciotola, Mindy Kronenberg, Daniel Torday, Scott Parker, Christina Thompson)
Wiliford A, Hilton Chicago, 3rd Floor

He'll also be reading on Friday at 5:00 p.m. at the
Syracuse MFA alumn reading, GRAIN OF SALT.
Center for Book and Paper Arts
Columbia College Chicago
1104 S. Wabash, 2nd fl.
Come and acquaint yourself with the work of our next author. See him in his natural habitat. Get excited for The Sensualist.
Safe travels, friends. We'll see you soon.
In the New Year
Saturday, January 7th, 2012
Happy New Year, Nouvellaers. Twenty-twelve has arrived and so far our year has set out skipping. First case in point: we are absolutely thrilled to announce the release of our next novella, The Sensualist by Daniel Torday. We don't want to divulge too much too soon, but we're busy behind the scenes right this very instant, getting ready for a mid-March release. In the meantime, read up on this Dan fellow (web hint: Five Chapters and 52 Stories). You're going to want to get in on the ground floor on this one, believe you me. Stay tuned for more details.
And now for a bit of news from the Flatmancrooked vault: In celebration of selling out of the second edition of Edan Lepucki's If You're Not Yet Like Me, we are offering the very last of the first-edition copies (we came into a few extra copies after a shipping mishap during the October 2009 launch.) Head over here for more details and to get one of the 15 remaining signed copies.
Lastly, I wanted to reiterate my thanks for all the support this last year. The release of our first Nouvella title, Matthew Salesses' The Last Repatriate, went terrifically. Some great write-ups have gone up at The Stage and at Ethel Rohan's blog, and it appeared on "best of" lists at Big Other and NANO Fiction. If you're still itching to see Matt read and/or pick up an illusive hard copy, you're in luck: he'll be reading at Brookline Booksmith on Wednesday, January 18th at 7pm, along with Elizabeth Searle, author of Girl Held in Home. The following week, on January 23rd, he'll be at "the sexiest reading series in Cambridge" at Literary Firsts, 7pm, Middlesex Lounge. Precisely one month later Matt will be doing the Writers Series with Margot Livesey at Salem State University (that's February 23rd, 7:30pm). And finally, the web's coolest fiction contest (so says I): "My Protagonist is Matt Salesses." It's essentially exactly what it sounds like, and it'll be judged by Matt Bell (How They Were Found), Laura van den Berg (What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us) and Steve Himmer (The Bee-Loud Glade). The winner will be announced at/around AWP, and prizes include various books.
Thanks for checking in. As always, more exciting news soon.

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011
Thank you to everyone who helped make Matt's launch a terrific success! It was a thrilling week all around and we're looking forward to hearing from all our investors as the books start to arrive in mailboxes. Speaking of which, the books will ship out mid to late-November—just as soon as they're all signed. The thank you notes will arrive separately and soon after; they'll be coming from Matt in Boston and the books will be coming from me in California, so keep an eye out for your postman not once, but twice.
If you missed the launch or else if you are a Matt superfan, the e-book version for Kindle, iPad and Nook will be released in a few weeks, so stay tuned. In the meantime, Matt will be having his release party at Newtonville Books in Boston on November 16th at 7PM. The very next evening he will be fighting the good fight at Literary Death Match at what appears to be a very cool club. That's November 17th at 7PM as well. Come shake the man's hand and enjoy all the awesomeness that LDM has to offer.
Thanks again for all your support so far. More news of the best variety coming very soon.
Nouvella in the August issue of NYLON

(And yeah, that's a sneak peek at Matthew Salesses' cover for The Last Repatriate. Keep it under your hat.) Read the piece (and access an archive of the very cool Shelf-Help) here.
NYLON is on the stands now, available at most fine purveyors of news and media—even at Wholefoods, we hear. Go out and get a copy. You'll be cooler for it, promise.

A variety of topics were discussed June 28 at Madera County District 5 Supervisor Tom Wheeler's Town Hall Meeting, held at Wasuma Elementary School in Ahwahnee. Among them, Eastern Madera County Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced it is gearing up to begin construction for a planned no-kill animal shelter in Ahwahnee.
A controversial state rural fire fee was attacked, a new registry for abandoned structures was announced -- along with a new comprehensive "311" phone number for county questions -- and Wheeler said he'd push for another year of reduced impact fees at 66.7%.
SPCA animal shelter
Eastern Madera County SPCA announced it is going before the county soon to request a permit to build their planned 8,000-square-foot no-kill animal shelter on 6.5 acres near Wasuma Elementary School in Ahwahnee.
"When you drive by the site, there's a sign that says the 'potential future home' of the shelter," said Tom Burdette, Eastern Madera County SPCA county liaison. "Well, it's not potential anymore. It will be."
The local SPCA has raised enough to cover immediate infrastructure -- things like grading the pad, installing wells, plumbing, septic and roads. Still, to build the shelter buildings they'll need to raise another $950,000 (what will be less after money raised during the honorary mayor race is counted, Burdette said.) The next step is securing a lease in August, hopefully at a nominal fee from the county because the group will provide a community service for residents, he said. After obtaining a lease, the group hopes to get a conditional use permit in October and have the site "build ready" within 18 months.
The local SPCA sees finishing the groundwork as a crucial step to get more donations for the construction of the buildings.
While the shelter will sit on 70 to 80 acres of county land across from the Ahwahnee Regional Park, Wasuma Elementary School and the Ahwahnee Cal Fire Station, it will not cost taxpayers a dime, either in construction or operation, Burdette said.
"We are going to do the construction for the lowest bid we can," Burdette said. "We are following the rules that any other private business or entity would follow because we aren't using public funds."
The shelter will include dog and cat communities, a spay and neuter clinic, dog park, and meeting rooms for things like school education and pet adoption.
Fire fees
A controversial state rural fire fee -- slated to go to the general fund -- has been reduced from $150 to $115, and will be billed by the state to 17,600 parcels in Madera County and 880,000 total throughout California, Wheeler said.
The California State Board of Equalization reported it can only bill 4,000 people a month. and the Howard Jarvis Tax Payers Association has prepared a lawsuit and is waiting for the first person to receive a bill, he said. While the fees have been slated to go to the state's general fund, which funds Cal Fire, most at the June 28 meeting doubted that fire fees would be used to help local stations fight fires.
David Irion, Cal Fire and Madera County Fire Department division chief, said most Cal Fire dollars are currently earmarked for fire suppression -- what help firefighters fight fires -- and the rural fire fee funds have been earmarked for "fire prevention" -- and only about $1 million so far.
Abandoned homes
The county started a registry in April for abandoned and depressed structures, what includes foreclosed homes. Upon changing hands, all to-be abandoned buildings must be registered with the county and are required to fix things like broken glass and graffiti, and cut back weeds, to ensure they don't become a detriment to the area.
"I think it's a great program and it keeps these houses up," Wheeler said.
Reduced Impact fees
The impact fees Wheeler was instrumental in implementing -- reducing fees associated with building by 66.7% for one year -- will expire in September. While the second year is slated for a 33.3% reduction, Wheeler said it's been so successful he will push for another year at a 66.7%.
"Building permits are three to four times what they were," he said. "In March and April we got 15 permits for wells, which means someone is drilling to build, and that means people are working and we have sales tax and property tax coming in."
"311" contact number
Wheeler announced a new "311" program that will start Aug. 1 -- an easy to remember phone number people can call for information about all non-emergency county services. 311 operators will be available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to answer questions and refer callers to proper agencies. Information is also available at MadCo311.com.Along with helping save the county money, the new 311 number ensures residents can always get in touch with someone at the county, even on furlough days, Wheeler said.

Homemade snorkel setup
So I am looking at rigging up a snorkel. All of the aftermarket kits are 400+ dollars and just go to the side of the stock airbox. Thing is, the stock airbox already gets water in it. I want this thing hardpiped so no water or anything can get in, and the filter only gets air from the snorkel. i have all kinds of ideas in my head about how to make this work. I think I could run 4'' pipe from the stock tubing down, along the frame, up between my tool box and bed like a stack, then have some kind of tip over the cab facing forward. With this, I need ideas about where to put the filter in this, and what kind of filter. Is that too much piping for an intake? I dont mind losing a few HP, I just dont want to hurt anything. Another idea, run a 90 from the stock tubing to the firewall, another 90 thru the hood and put a little scoop tip on the end. Again, what filter and where to put it? My idea for a filter is to seal off the factory box and pipe the snorkel to under the filter, and use that. I think a 4'' pipe wouldnt look too good ran out of my fender and up the A pillar which probably means I'll have to buy the snorkel kit. Looking for any ideas or advice, besides staying out of the water.

From what my Jeep friends tell me when it comes to adding a snorkel, it's not just the intake that will need to be waterproofed. Other parts of the engine such as the batteries, turbo(s), alternator, etc. Those were in regards to modified Jeeps but i would think they still hold true to our trucks.
What do you think? |
umm... just wondering but what do you do with your truck that you need a snorkle?
Why a snorkle, the airbox is already 4 ft up in the air, so if your going that deep the cab is gonna be leaking and everything is gonna be F'ed up quick. But id like to see it done.
just hope you never blow a turbo boot in the water romping on it
While they have a point about other stuff getting f'd up I'm sure it can and has been done! You should look for some off road forums and maybe even jeep forums, when I had my jeep I was on jeepfourm.com all the time.. Serious wheels on there! I think you can buy alternators made for stuff like that.. If you Youtube jeep/truck water crossing you will see that it can be done. It sounds like you have some good ideas about the air snorkle, maybe check out S&B filters since they make tons of different sizes.
Now you also have to think about your axle vents and stuff like that or your going to have to change the fluid every time you go swimming ha. I think if I were to attempt something like this (I want too) I would get an old jeep or old mechanical fired diesel to lessen the amount of systems that water will effect.

Heres one of the snorkel kits Ford Super Duty F250/F350 Safari Snorkel, 7.3L Diesel
Now, I'll never drive around in water up over my tire for more than a second or 2. But when you hit a puddle with some speed water gets pushed and sometimes up to my windshield, and last time I was out pullin a buddy, I went thru a pretty deep puddle fast trying to keep momentum and my truck bogged down like I'm in a few gears too high, and when I got to the other side, I looked in the airbox and watched the water pour out and I luckily had another filter with me because the one I had fell apart in my hands. Scared the crap out of me worried about my turbo but the inside of the hose was dry and clean. I just want to be safe. I'm 17 I cant afford a play truck yet. I dont really go wheelin in my SD, I'm the tow truck |
I know its your money and your truck but $500+ is alot to spend plus cutting a hole in the fender just for every once in a while when you might go in deep water to pull somebody out. Same your money get a 6" lift and the air box will be alot higher then haha
I see a SIPPY HOLE in your future, lol!!! If not I would tell your buddy to call someone else. If they are stupid enough to go out in stuff like that they deserve to get stuck. Diesels need a lot of air, a lot more than you think. Nothing will kill a diesel faster than dirty air, so your filter is key. Oh and K&N ain't going to cut it. I am sure this has been done but from what you describe I can't see why you would want to do this??

Watch out for the N spot between the second and third blots.
5 or 6 bolts to chains. Well protected.
I'm sure that all 30' of this route is high quality but I find it hard to believe it can be worth 3 stars. And what's the deal with 5 or 6 bolts in 30', well protected is an understatement.

Montreal workshop day 1
Posted: June 5, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 15 Comments »It's a bit of a different post today because it's day one of the first of my summer workshops. The weather took a turn for the better so we were able to paint outside all day which really helped. It would have been quite a different experience had we been inside a classroom! I have to say it was a really fun group of people who were all up to the challenges I gave them and they turned out some wonderful paintings by the end of the afternoon. Today we worked on finding and keeping lights and darks in the painting and tomorrow we will experimenting with wet on wet. I think they are ready for that. As for me, it was a bit of a challenge to paint in front of a crowd and talk at the same time but you can see my demo below, in progress and at the end of the day.
Here is my demo in progress:
Here is the painting at the end of the day:
And here is a montage of the great work the students did:

Looks like you had so much fun today and their paintings are great too!
Wish so much i could have been there peeking from behind everyone!
But instead was enjoying this beautiful day on the lake in my kayak and missed seeing you on the campus. Have wonderful day tomorrow and can't wait for my workshop this summer! -
I'm super jealous of all your students! What a privilege!
I agree with Andrew.
Looks like you all had a very productive time. But, Shari, I would watch out for those "students"… from what I can see, it looks like some of them are pretty darn good. -
Great results …. your and the class's
It looks like a best day.You are right ..it was beautiful..I gardened all day..being outside was perfect.
I would have liked this even better though:)Do you have to be advanced to take your workshops?
how fantastic – looks like a great workshop!
I am so jealous — I should have been there!

JANUS Bag Search randomly puts cards into an anti-passback area and marks their status as 'Failed Anti-Passback'. This is done at the same time that a valid entry is registered and is determined upon the probability settings that have been pre-defined e.g. 1 in 10, 1 in 20 etc
Upon an egress attempt by any card in this anti-passback area, the system will prohibit them from leaving and their details will be flagged at a local PC which is monitoring the Bag Search system. Verification at the PC will reset the user's anti-passback status who will then be able to egress in the normal way.

I started off with a tube top and played around with the design and ended with a couple of detailed finishings.
Perfect for casual wear or for a night out, paired with jeans/shorts.
Hem along the two longer ends of the fabric. This will be the hem on the top and bottom part of your tube top.
For my top, I hemmed the two edges together and flipped it inside out so you end with a hem going down the middle of your back.
- This would be the back view of the tube top -
*Fabric with some stretch will make this project easier to work with and will generally fit better.
Start with 1m of your fabric choice. (This should be enough for the 3 components of the top: the tube top, the strap, and the bow) Measure around your chest to make the tube top portion. You should end with a rectangular shape like this.
Turn your top over to the front side and now we are going to cinch the front into a sweetheart-cut.
To do this, you want to pinch the middle of the fabric to how ever low you want your V to be. For mine, I cinched about 2-3 inches. Hold this in place with your thumb and index finger.
This part is a little bit tricky. You want to hold the two parts in place like so and turn it away from you until the stacks are on top of one another. Once you have this part in place, sew the cinched fabric together (about 1-2 inches should do) until it's all connected.
This is to make the strap for the top. There are lots of variations to making a strap as some like to have a tie behind the neck, which requires two straps, but this features a single strap.
Start by cutting out a strip of fabric that is 2-4 inches thick, depending on how thick you want your strap to be.
- Be sure to cut the strip longer than you would want it so that you can snip off excess fabric rather than not having enough. -
To make the strap, you need a shoe lace.
Sew the top of the shoe lace to the top of the fabric like so (end where the dotted line stops).
Sew alongside the shoe lace to the fabric, making sure that you don't sew the shoelace to the fabric along the way. Continue until you've reached the end.
Hold the end of the strap gently in one hand and pull the shoelace with the other. Pull the entire strap through itself, until it is right side out and snip off the shoelace from the end to end up with something like this.
For this step, put on the top and measure the strap from one side to the other to feel out how tight you want the strap to be. (Make the two marks on the inside to indicate where the strap ends will be sewed).
Sew the ends of each strap onto the inside of the top so that the hems are hidden.
To make the bow, cut out two strips of fabric (one to attach to the top, and the other to create the bow) to your width preference depending on how large or small you want your bow.
For my top, i've made the bow slightly smaller in size.
Sew the two ends of the bow onto the backside of your top, approximately 2-3 inches away from each side.
- When doing this step, make sure you don't sew the ends through to the front of the top. -
And there you have it!
A simple but cute halter top with a sweetheart-cut front and a bow detail on the back. Hope you like it!

Maroon 5, Overexposed
They might have the moves like Jagger, but Maroon 5 lacks the grooves on their fourth album in 10 years, Overexposed. The title, a self-deprecating wink to the band's ubiquity (and maybe frontman Adam Levine's frequent and much-appreciated nakedness), demonstrates what happens to a band when they become as big as these boys: In pursuit of singing competitions and hot models, the music – this time with Max Martin and Ryan Tedder taking on production – falls through the cracks. "Payphone," the fine first single, is a quick rewind – not just to when you needed a dime to make a call, but to Maroon 5's neo-soul soft side that had gays and girls swooning. Pretty much the rest – as overproduced as it may be Overexposed – will not be loved. "One More Night" does the funky-reggae thing, masking Levine's pained plea – an old trick the band can't let go of (see past singles: "Misery" and "Makes Me Wonder"). Worse, even, are the words themselves: "Here I am waiting, I'll have to leave soon" launches "Daylight"; "I know you wanna stay, but I think that you should go" is the poeticism of "Tickets"; and can we start a movement to stop the metaphorical use of "tattoo"? Please? "Sad," despite also ignoring subtlety in lyricism, is onto something better than any of the perfunctory funk-pop: With just piano and Levine's raw vocals, he sings his heart out … and we swoon.
Grade: C
Justin Bieber, Believe
With the Biebs' Tiger Beat days numbered, it's time to pull a Timberlake: His third studio LP, Believe, is a post-puberty breakthrough – the kind that moved his teen-idol contemporary into manhood (and he has tattoos to prove it!). But even if Believe doesn't eclipse Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds in innovation, or even in vocal awesomeness, it still establishes the little mister as more than a write-off. "As Long As You Love Me," irresistibly stretching his falsetto into a stuttery riff, works his matured voice (i.e. sexed-up) into a layered house throw-down that has him asserting love's power over money and food (he really is growing up). There's no denying the charm of Jackson 5 throwback "Die in Your Arms," or escaping the giddy energy that envelopes "Thought of You" (Usher comes to mind during the chorus); though spanning a gap that Bieber isn't too eager to bridge on this hopscotching effort, both are among the finer examples of pop this year. And the bad news? His Nicki Minaj pairing on disco-spun "Beauty and a Beat" – not only one of the worst play-on-words ever but also a song that Minaj steals when she goes all cougar with "Buns out, wiener/But I gotta keep a eye out for Selener." The title track, a swamping gospel ballad with an emotional wallop, is more his style. Makes you believe he's got more up his sleeve.
