How can I get noticed?
November 9, 2012 | Written by Chip MacGregor
We're sticking with answering a bunch of shorter questions for a few days…
One author wrote and noted, "As I research book publishing, I'm intrigued by the 'platform' thing. And as I think about how to build my platform, I'm having a hard time discerning whether publishers would consider my platform attractive or small potatoes. I edit a professional magazines (10,000 readers), help manage an advertising agroup (500 advertisers), am busy with the local Chamber of Commerce (another 500 members), contribute to a popular blog site, have access to a handful of other groups, and have been invited to submit articles to some very popular websites. Is that enough to get an editor's attention?"
That certainly sounds like the start of a good platform. Of course, some of the "platform" issue will depend on what you're writing and who you're writing to. If all of your professional contacts are finance related, and you've written a romance novel, publishers may tend to discount the value of all those contacts. But if you're writing a book that speaks directly to your contacts, I imagine publishers would find your data base of people interesting. There's not really a magic number that you're trying to hit — other than to say "the bigger it is, the better they'll like you." However, you're really beginning to think like a publisher when you approach your platform this way. How many people do you already reach? How often? In how many ways? How can you approach them about your book? Those are questions to talk about with a prospective publisher or agent.
Another wanted to know, "If my book is published with a small house, what are the chances it will get into Target or Wal-Mart? Do those companies only buy books from big publishers?"
Wal-Mart and Target use book buyers to select the books they sell. The larger companies have full-time sales staff dedicated just to those accounts (for example, Grand Central has a couple sales people who do nothing but sell to Wal-Mart). That exclusivity, and the size of their lists, gives them a big advantage. They have a lot of products to show the buyers, they're talking all the time, and they've worked to understand what the seller does best. That said, you never know what a Wal-Mart will buy. They like high-concept books that meet the felt needs of blue collar people, so if you're doing something like that, you stand a chance. And yes, they'll look at it, assuming your publisher has a sales rep who gets in front of them.
Someone wrote this: "I've approached several editors and agents who all say to me the writing in my novel is good, but the topic isn't right for their needs or the market right now. However, everybody who reads a series of chapters in my book tells me they love the story. How can I get an editor to give me a break?"
Um… I can think of several responses for you. First, your writing might not be that good, but your friends might love you. Second, your writing might not be that good, but your friends aren't as sophisticated as the editors and agents you're talking to. (Put another way, who do you want to take publishing advice from — your friends, or professionals in the industry?) Third, your writing might be good, but right now isn't the time. If that's the case, STOP TRYING TO SELL THAT BOOK AND MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE. Most novelists don't get their first book published — they go through several manuscripts before they find one that hits. Fourth, your writing might be good, and you just need to keep trying until you hit the right editor and the right house. If that's the case, then you need to go to some conferences, meet editors face-to-face, and ask them to read some of your book. Not just talk about it, and not just read the synopsis, but give them a sample chapter and sit quietly while they read a chapter during your meeting time. Fifth, your writing might be good, and everybody in the industry is wrong… but I doubt it. I mean, it's possible. But in my experience over the past three decades, I've met a lot of authors who felt their stuff was great, and in fact it wasn't. Just a thought.
An author wrote and noted, "I have three books with a small niche publisher. Since my next book is outside that niche, do I need to get an agent? And do you think I'm established enough as a writer that I could get a publishing deal before the book is fully written? Or should I not even bother to begin a conversation with an agent until it is completed?"
It depends on the book, but generally speaking we are moving toward having nearly every book at major houses represented by an agent. We're a specialized society, and the agent knows how to protect the author's interests (because the publisher, while a nice guy, is not in business to protect the author's interests). Think of an agent doing what a lawyer does as he draws up your will, or what a good realtor does when she draws up your closing papers — bring experience to look after your best interests in a legal transaction.
With three small niche books, I doubt you'd be considered "established" in the world of commercial publishing (though it would depend on how successful those books were). However, I wouldn't necessarily wait to talk with an agent. You've been through the process, so go ahead and start having those agent conversations. Even if the book isn't done, a good agent should be able to evaluate your book idea, and perhaps give you some direction in the writing.
Someone asked, "With the economy still experiencing a downturn, would you recommend writers, especially new writers, wait for better times to approach agents and publishers?"
I am SO tempted to say, "No, I recommend they call someone besides me," but I won't because people keep accusing me of being snarky. Um… okay, for all the talk of oil prices and home mortgages ruining our economy, people still seem to be buying books. Yes, I think publishers are scared (everybody seems to be retrenching these days), but I can guarantee you they are all looking for a GREAT idea, expressed through GREAT writing, by an author with a GREAT platform. If you have all of those pieces in place, don't wait. If you don't have all those pieces… well, you probably aren't ready anyway.
It doesn't get talked about much, but it's an issue. US publishers like to have their authors on US soil, so that they're available for phone calls, media interviews, book tours, and the like. It's certainly possible to live elsewhere and do well in the States (Ms Rowling did okay, as I recall), but for most beginning authors, living outside the US is just another reason for a publisher to say "no thanks" to your proposal.

Now, I don't want to give too much away – but I would be remiss if I didn't dedicate a post to this fantastic book. The Philly Dog is giving away one copy of "Breakfasts with Buster" to a lucky ready who posts a comment by September 19th at noon, in honor of The Natural Pet Expo which is on September 27th. The author of the book, Valerie J. Wood, will be at the Expo! Bring your book to get autographed!
"Breakfasts with Buster" is the touching memoir of the author's experience with her dog, Buster, who was diagnosed with bone cancer. It details their journey and experiences of taking an aggressive battle against the disease by using holistic methods to give them all what they so desperately needed – "another few breakfasts with Buster."
What is most amazing about the book is how transferable the experience is to any pet owner who has gone through the heartbreaking event of learning that your pet is seriously ill. And if you have been lucky enough to not have gone through this, someday you might face the veterinarian who tells you the prognosis is terminal, a decision must be made today, or to fight is useless. "Breakfasts with Buster" shows that when standard veterinary care fails us, there is another option. There can be hope. There can be another few breakfasts together.
Each page turn brought a lump to my throat, or made me nod my head with a big smile across my face. We can all relate – regardless of whether it is bone cancer, or kidney disease, or any other kind of disease.
What is extra special about "Breakfasts with Buster" is the way the author chose to fight the battle – by using holistic methods. The book is informational, educational and, most importantly, a source of hope. It not only provides a detailed description of Buster's regimen, it also provides a bibliography of resources on holistic healing, suggested foods and supplements, recommended foods and even foods that should be avoided.
Can't wait to find out if you are the randomly selected winner? Remember, you can buy the book at the Expo on the 27th. Or, you can get it here.

Humanity continues its heroic struggle against the hideous Chimera in this follow-up to the PlayStation 3's top-selling launch title. Taking place two years after the events from the first game, Resistance 2 has you controlling Nathan Hale as the war campaign moves from England to the United States. The setting is an alternate 1953 America, a landscape ravaged by war and alien occupation. Fight alongside a group of super-soldiers called the Sentinels and attempt to stave off the effects of the Chimeran virus surging through your bloodstream. The enemy is now equipped with deadly new weapons in addition to modified armaments from the first game. Game types include a solo campaign, cooperative play, and online warfare for up to 60 players simultaneously. The co-op option features a distinct storyline parallel to the main campaign and includes support for up to eight players. It also offers a choice of three character classes: medic, soldier, and special ops. In addition to possessing special attributes, each class can earn experience in combat. New equipment and armor can be unlocked by achieving certain level milestones. The online component features improvements over the first game, with new social networking tools and an open invite system bolstering such multiplayer mainstays as skill-oriented matchmaking, stat tracking, and dedicated servers. | |

The gameplay is, of course, a lot of fun but they removed a couple aspects that I really liked in the first game and that made the gameplay different.
First they removed the ability to have all guns at one time. In Resistance 2 you are only allowed two guns at a time and you can switch them out as you find them. I realize this is more "realistic" but I enjoyed the game far more when I wasnt so limited in my choice of weapons at any one time. I loved being able to decide how exactly I wanted to kill the enemy.
The second aspect that was removed is the health bar aspect. In the first game the player had a health bar divided into 4 sections. If you were injured, you would only regenerate up to the next section. Resistance two has decided to move over to the Call of Duty health system in that the more you are injured the louder you hear a heart beat and the screen blurs some. If you hide for a minute you calm down and are back to full health. This removes the need for health packs and planning around a limited level of health.
These two changes take some of the character out of the game, in my opinion. I enjoyed the different strategies involved with the health system in the first game as well as the versatility of being able to choose from all the weapons at any time. Another change is the way the story is told. No longer do you get black and white screens with a british woman voiceover, in Resistance 2 you get bits and pieces from the small amount of Intel you collect around the levels and the rest is just radio conversations. In addition the technology seems like it has become very advanced for the early 1950s. Maybe they took it all from the Chimera but the equipment and clothes the humans wear seem very 21st century to me.
Despite these changes, the game is still a lot of fun and the graphics are beautiful. I definitely recommend the game but dont expect as much uniquiness compared to other games in the same genre.
I've played the first one so I already knew the story line. If you haven't, it's ok because you won't be too lost in this one.
The Campaign mode is excellent! The story line and plot blend very well with the gameplay and it keeps you wanting to play more because you want to find out what happens. However, there is such a good use of the check points that if you only have a little bit of time to play, it would be no problem.
The Cooperative mode is very fun as well. Although it does take quite some time to level up your character, it is well worth it. The three classes are all fun and equally useful while playing. It only gets more fun as you progress through the game.
The Competitive mode is the bread and butter. The way everything is put together is near flawless. The maps are fun, and sometimes irritating, but that's what makes it so good. The many different kinds of modes are all fun except for Deathmatch, because the spawn killing is horrible. My favorite, and probably the most fun, is Skirmish because it gives you objectives to complete while still mass killing the enemy. The only overall flaw with Competitive mode is the game searching system. Sometimes you will look for a large game, expecting the big 60 person matches, and you only get like 20 person match. I've even read that some people will get into 10 person matches when searching for large games. I've also read the opposite where people search for small games and get into 20 or 40 person matches. It may get a little frustrating, but it doesn't deter from the gameplay at all.
Overall, Resistance 2 is one of the best PS3 games out there, and by far one of the best FPS games on next-gen consoles. Unlike many other sequels, it isn't just a clone with a different storyline, it completely revamps the game to make it a superior game overall.
It was very obvious from day 1 Sony and Insomniac focus was on PSN/multi-player. We heard a lot about it. Now the game is out, every bit that was promised is delivered. My most favorite parts in the game are the co-op missions. It is so much fun to play with buddies split-screen, the game levels are randomly generated. The experience is never the same any time you play back the levels.
Co-op missions are class based. Dont try to run around and get killed. You need to be organized and push inch by inch. Every one has a role to play and all of them are fun. You can play with upto 8 people online. The game completely suits itself for the number of people playing at a time. I like it when there is a minimum of 4 people, with a good medic. It is so satisfying and epic.
They have also pushed the competitive bar to 60 players. It gets really crazy at the last min when every one converges to the center. It has a similar feel to UT3 warfare mode. If you are tired of the vanilla kill count based games, R2 is the decisive answer.
We are going to be talking about R2 for a long long time to come. This has set the bar for multi-player. We are going to see a lot copy cats too. The engine has been revamped a lot from R1. The game never slows down with all the explosions and 60 people running around. It is a amazing technological achievement. Even PC games couldn't do what R2 has done on a console. Competitive levels are much more methodical than run and gun. It takes a few shots before the person dies. So you can always move away and find a better flanking position.
Competitive multiplayer levels are very well balanced. It is not winner takes all. If you play well you become a bigger bulls eye in the map. So every one has a chance. It also increases the challenge for higher skill palyers. It is a win-win. Very well thought out maps. Take your time and play slowly. It is a very enjoyable game. If you are looking for a simple bunny hop and shoot multi-player; you are in for disappointment.
The game is slightly different from R1. No more weapons wheel. You can just carry two weapons at a time. You also get a Uncharted style fully recovering health. Some of old weapons are tweaked to make it more interesting to use. Art direction also has changed. Now visuals have a pop. Forest is no more the post apocalyptic gray burnt one.. it is a green lush forest. Every thing feels fresh and natural.
Resistance 2 is in direct competition with LBP for its massiveness. I don't think there is any other games that packs so much content in a single disk. I have a strong feeling Insomniac filled up the entire Blu-ray disc.
Single player mode much more narrated. The game walks you through a very cinematic presentation. The games takes control of the camera to several times to show all the glorious backgrounds and set pieces. Boss battles are huge. Some of the levels are just one single big boss battle. You are just circling around slowly taking the health of the big behemoths.
So far I have killed more than 1000 enemies in single player. The game sincerely makes you feel helpless. AI is stunningly smart. My winning formula is survey, find a safe position, move & fortify, then survey again. Run and gun doesn't seem to work. I was able to be finish R1 without thinking this much.
Audio in this game is amazing. This time it feels lot more like Hollywood. Weapons pack a punch. If you have a 7.1, close all the doors and crank up the volume. You will be in the edge of the c
I purchased this game because I had just recently purchased a PS3 and had seen adevertisements for "Resistance: Fall of Man". I purchased both and recieved this one first, This games blows my expectations out of the water. The controls are perfect especially for having so many primary, secondary and alternate weapon abilities. Graphics are seemless with few to no glitching ( rare concidering the massive size and your weapon range ). A good rule of thumb is if you can see it you can shoot it. And you can see enemies as far off as your line of sight. The story will capture your imagination and is a great stand alone release. I haven't played the original but I am now interested in seeing how it all began. If you like shooters like Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Killzone and Dark Sector ( Weapon set up is a lot like Gears and Turok )this is a very good title to own.
I bought this game some time ago because I had just finished the first game Resistance, which by the way is one of the best games I´ve played so far. I hoped resistance two was better or at least the same quality. At first I hated it because it took me some time to learn how to play cooperative because I played the first one with my brother. This format is a bit different, but once you learn to use it it is simply awsome. The best part I consider is that you have to work yourself up into a complete soldier by gaining experience and weapons through your kills and objective completion. This is a very good idea and keeps the player wanting more. The down side of this is that you have to repeat the fisrt level (which is quite large by the way) like 6 times before you have the option of advancing to the second level. This after some time gets boring because you learn by the fifth game where and when enemies will attack and it looses the element of surprise....which however comes back as soon as you make enough merits to go to the second level.
In the end I dont regret it at all. I think it has great graphics and is tough so it makes you work hard to obtain your goals.
If you have the chance buy it. It is addictive and it grows on you every time you play it!

Hi, all! I just wanted to introduce myself, since I found this thread and started EMF a couple weeks ago - that's how long it took me to read through ALL the pages in this thread, lol! I pretty much stop by every day to lurk, but didn't feel right about posting until I felt caught up on everything.
I'm 28 yo, 5'8", 177 (last time I weighed, which was Friday), goal weight ~145 - 150
The macros I've been aiming for are:
Cals - 1700
My ketostix turned dark purple the 3-4 times I tested last week, and I also have a blood meter (the one demuralist posted, thanks!) that should be arriving any day now. Been out of town since Sunday, so I haven't had a chance to test for ketones or weigh this week. Since I started, I've lost 5 lbs to get back down to my Primal low (some water weight, some that I gained back during Easter, blah), so that's been encouraging.
Just wanted to say thanks to Pebbles for starting this thread, and all you other encouraging and supportive ladies (and I did see a few gentlemen as well, so don't want to leave you out)! I've enjoyed following everyone's progress, and getting ideas from various N=1 experiments. Keep up the good work!

She also enters into a tempestuous relationships with aging, moody movie producer Lou Manahan and handsome but untrustworthy beachcomber Sam.

Clinton County Formulates a Cradle to Career Plan for Education's Interaction with Economic Growth
Clinton County's Partnership for Community Development is looking forward to the year 2040 to create a competitive economic future. The group has been holding a series of forums on how to foster such growth. The latest, to be held this week, assesses how education and the business community must work together to foster economic development in the region.
This year the Partnership for Community Development has focused on four sectors: arts and culture, recreation, transportation, and education as the basis for workforce and economic development. On Thursday, a panel discussion will focus on the education and business linkage. The Development Corporation President and CEO Paul Grasso is part of the Partnership's Vision-2-Action Project.
Clinton Community College President John Jablonski says the Clinton County partnership is working on a cradle-to-career education concept.
The regional THRIVE cradle-to-career initiative is based on SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher's cradle-to-job STRIVE program. Clinton County was the first rural county in the country to join that network.
Clinton Community's John Jablonski says the overall goal is to give the area a competitive economic edge.
A community forum and creation of action implementation teams regarding education's interaction with economic growth is planned at Clinton Community College on Thursday evening.


text: The common name "flies" encompasses a very diverse group of insects that belong to the order Diptera which means "two wings." They number over 120,000 species worldwide. Only the coldest parts of the earth (the Arctic and Antarctic) are devoid of flies. Some members of this order are well known for their disease carrying capacity such as the mosquito and Tsetse fly, while others are pollen gatherers and mimic bees. Fly larvae (maggots) play an important role in the clean-up of carrion.

is a concept in Judaism that is so important for us to remember. Each of us is unique, significant and valuable simply because we exist. We don't need to prove ourselves worthy, we already are. We were created worthy. But we must believe that. If we don't, life can become quite miserable. We can spend our days on a hamster wheel of constantly proving that we are good enough.
The world was created for me, and you, and everyone else. What a wonderful thing to know. Let's breathe that in, and let go of the fight. Let's embrace the amazing creation that we are, bring our light out, and share it with others.

Life is terrible! The economy sucks! And things are only getting worse.
I've been thinking about how messed up our world is and wondering just how things could have gotten this way. Or maybe they always were. But why? Why in all of creation are things here on earth so bad? And then it hit me, this is the land of FREE WILL. Here we have the right to choose for ourselves. We have the freedom to make every kind of bad choice. And it all adds up… to one colossal, global mess.
And there doesn't seem to be a lot we can do about that.
But then I thought, even if we have a tendency to make mistakes, FREE WILL can also be used to focus on the good. And you know what they say, whatever you focus on expands.
So in contemplating my resolutions for the new calendar year, I've been tinkering with the idea of focusing on and embracing all the tiny little bits of good that exist, even in the midst of the mess.
Instead of lamenting the terrible economy, the political conflict, the global disasters, maybe I could embrace and enjoy my (thankfully, for now) excellent health, my beautiful kids and the precious little time I have before they go off to college, the unbelievable circle of friends and community that I have, and the truly special people that life has unexpectedly brought me.
We can spend a lifetime fighting with life, and with its unfairness and injustices. But life can also be sweet and filled with joy and beauty, and real pleasure. Those are the things that empower us to get up and deal with the very real challenges that we are duty-bound to address.
In 2011, I resolve to use my FREE WILL to seek out the beauty, the joy, the magic that is there in life and to share that with everyone I know.
Exercise your Free Will in the new yearMake a list of all that is good in your life. If you can't think of anything, keep at it. You need to find at least 100 things, people, or qualities that are truly good. On January 1st put down the first thing, and each night after that add at least one item to the list. Take time to go over the list. Share it with your family and loved ones. Challenge them to do the same. During the day, choose to make your conversations focus on those good things and not all the challenges that surround you. At the dinner table, talk about what is wonderful in your family - that you have each other, that you get to share this time and this life together. Do the same with your friends when you see them. Remember focusing on the good creates more good. Then you can go do more good in the world.

Humility is not something we naturally seek out. It is a quality that we gain, generally against our will. We often spend our days doing our level best to avoid the kinds of circumstances that teach us humility. But humility brings many benefits. When you are truly humble, it means the hard shell of the ego has been cracked open and your essence can shine through. With your soul finally laid bare, your chances of life really working out for you are significantly greater. And there are very good reasons why.
Humility puts us in synch with the Universe, and opens up possibilities of Life working in new and perhaps easier ways. When we are humble we recognize that we are just human, that we will fail, and that we are all, eventually, in the same boat. This awareness can transform our relationships. With our hearts open, we begin to see others in a new light. And we become ready to give and receive love and kindness – that which nourishes and strengthens our inner self and our bonds with others. Humility may be exactly the tweaking we need for our lives to fall right into place.
Thankfully, we don't have to wait for Life to humble us. We can practice humility by seeing ourselves in the eyes of our fellow human beings – whether it's Angelina and Brad, the homeless man at the street corner, or the friend who is facing a great challenge.

When clients start working with me, almost invariably, they come seeking a greater sense of control in their lives. The need for control is a very natural inclination for us. Control brings certainty in an uncertain world and with that comes a measure of security. Or so we hope.
Trouble is we plan and G-d so often has another design in mind.
In helping people find the deep inner sense of safety that they're looking for, I guide them to do the opposite of that tendency to control. I teach them to surrender and to trust. Surrender to the flow of Life, and Trust that they have the capacity to match and rise above whatever Life may bring their way.
Life is always and entirely beyond our control. All we're meant to do is accept it for what it is, recognize the flow and then show up for ourselves. Each of us has a unique role to dance in the much larger choreography of life. And that's all we need to do. But we must do it. We must dance our dance. And we must trust that we are what it takes to live our particular life just the way it needs to be lived. Therein lies real security.

It takes courage to keep moving forward when you don't know exactly where you're going, and when life's twists and turns have left you more than a little unsure of yourself. It takes courage… And it takes a deep belief in oneself to not give up when it seems like the odds are stacked against you. The task may seem ominous, but we, humans, have the capacity to rise above, to forge ahead, to transcend. Not only can we do this, but we must! It is our very purpose - to take what life presents and to fashion from it something beautiful.
In these unusual days, it so important to remember that the impossible situation we may face is merely an opportunity that life is giving us, to find that part of ourselves where we are greater than the challenge, whatever it may be.
Happy Chanukah everyone!

We all know that it is important to be grateful. But how many of us actually practice gratitude? No! We are more likely to spend our time worrying or kvetching about all the things that are going wrong or that are likely to go wrong. If instead, we would take time to be grateful our quality of life would immediately and exponentially improve.
Practicing gratitude means we're focusing on all that we have – our gifts and abilities, the people who love us and whom we love, our community, all that we get to experience on life's journey, and the many material blessings that we do have. Even in the most difficult of circumstances there is often so much that we have to be grateful for, and focusing on the good helps us to transcend the challenges. Gratitude also attunes us with the source of all goodness, and allows us to receive more of what we want.
Make a list of all the special people and meaningful things you have. Take your time and put down everything that is wonderful in your life. And have a Thanksgiving filled with gratitude!

Abraham Maslow wrote, "The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness." In today's increasingly chaotic and uncertain world these words were never more relevant or applicable. But it's not easy to be present. Is it? We may want to be in the moment. But our mind? Well, it has another agenda altogether. And our multi-tasking, technology-driven, social media lives seem to be all about being everywhere but here and now.
So what can we do?
Being present is not easy, but it is fairly simple. We have to connect with what is real, be aware of where we are, use our senses, feel our bodies. In fact, being aware of our physical being is the immediate and direct antidote to the willfulness of our mind - which would likely take us spinning in any direction.
As we go through the day, it helps to pay attention to the small things: the taste on our tongue of the coffee that we're sipping, the smell and feel of the soap as we shower, the beauty of the sky as we drive on the freeway (yes – I'm in LA), our breath – in and out. Truth is there is nowhere but here, no time but now. What we do with this moment creates the experience of the next moment. And the power to create our lives, to make it beautiful, special, filled with love, happiness and success, comes from being fully conscious of what is, right now. So - let's delight in the small things, it's the only path to what we seek.

Relentless change whittles away at our egos, and it's painful. But less ego, means more room for our essence. With the ego tempered more of our soul can shine through. And our souls are what we need. It is our soul that allows us to be really happy, successful, and prosperous. It may be on a path that is different to our ego's path, but that's okay because it would be our true path. And that's the only path we want to be on, for as we know, life is all about the journey…

He fishes his stuff WWWWWWFB, too [grin]

The Reel Fantasy, But of course, I am biased.
Go with Ken on the Hot spot, Great guy
Hot Spot......but you must have him show you his method of stunning a tuna that is flopping on the deck - its a dont miss!!!

Good luck in September.
I Don't think you can miss with either the Reel Fantasy or the Hot Spot. I don't personally know the Capt Ken but all I hear is great things about him. I have some friends that have fished with him and they were very happy.
The Reel Fantasy guys will put you on the fish. These guys are extremely knowledgeable and have a boatload of state of the art tackle. Good Luck
HOTSPOT, friend of mine has fished with him the past few years for the tuna tournament. Capt. Ken knows his stuff, never met him personally but all I hear are great things.

I always wonder how much holiday to take in December? Is a month long enough, is two months two long. So have used my state of mind to tell when I am ready rather than the body.
Short, sharp and fun racing. Natal champs was over the weekend at Pirates which meant surf, even on a small day. I only do the ski races which makes it an easy weeks racing compared to most doing champs.
The most innovative event I went to last year, the HP Urban Rage presented by Jeep Apparel is coming on TV this week in South Africa. A must to see, Supersport 1 on Tuesday at 830pm. More details at http://www.urbanrage.co.za
Filling Ant's bottle on top of Berma!
Saw an amazing physical feet today. Ant Stott lived up to his nick name of Superman today in the second leg of the Duzi canoe marathon paddling his way from 4 min down to a massive 13min lead. Hectic!
Housemate Ant Stott on Pinetree portage running like a machine!
Got the privilege of choosing my glasses for the year from a long time supporter in Rudy Project out of their range for 2009. Looking through their classic website at www.rudyproject.co.za I battled to pick as there is just so much cool new stuff. You have to go check out the new range!
The Varsity College Surfskischool in Durban has been closed over the Xmas period due to the beach road closers but will be open with its first classes for 2009 on the 10th Jan!
I am currently in the amazing little town of St Francis in the Eastern Cape at the moment taking some valued time out. After a mammoth effort in training for Dubai I have been super blown out. Body telling me something so listening for a change.


text: Umai Umai is only a couple blocks from my house, luckily for me, because I might not have found it otherwise. My wife and I have eaten there many times, sometimes with friends who never heard of it, and it's always a delightful time. It's a BYOB so we usually take a couple bottles of sake or a light wine...

Traffic Jam in the Rain
By Art Braitman
To relieve the frustration of being in a traffic jam over a long period of time, taking a few shots out of the side window seemed the natural thing to do. It helped that there was beauty all around. The misty weather conditions added to that. Juxtaposing the vehicles in the middle of nature seemed a bit ironic and surprising.

"A tricycle of any kind is inherently unstable. That is why tricycle ATVs have been all but banned. A bicycle makes coordinated turns -- the rear wheel follows the path of the front wheel. A trike cannot do that; it has no differential like a car and so they tend to skid."
The delta recumbent trikes are tippy - some types really tippy. My first one was like that and got wobbly at about 17 mph.
I'm talking about the tadpoles - two front wheels, one rear wheel - as stable as anything could be and the good ones track super straight slow or at speed. They are solid. I've never taken a downhill tight turn at speed so I can't argue about the stability of the recumbent tadpole trike v a two-wheel upright...however a tadpole will not flip and skid over a little gravel under a wheel like a upright bike will.
Seems to me the upright riders risk a lot of falls on our roadways due to unseen sand, gravel or rocks in the road.
Providing safe off road cycling and walking paths would be cost effective looking long term.
We would attract tourists.
More importantly we would be breathing cleaner air without the toxins spewed by cars and trucks on the roads....lessening lung disease from inhaled toxins and stay healthier costing taxpayers much less than the initial cost of the off road paths and maintainable at far less cost - it seems to me - than our roadways.

Egypt crisis: What role will Omar Suleiman play?
Egypt's Vice President Omar Suleiman, who addressed Egyptians after the televised speech of President Hosni Mubarak Thursday, urged Tahrir Square protesters to 'go home.' It is unclear how much power Suleiman now wields.
(Page 3 of 3)
"Mubarak is Pharaoh in his own mind. He's laughingly referred to as Pharaoh all over the Arab world. I don't think this guy [Suleiman] sees himself that way at all. I think he would see himself as public servant who would take the country toward elections," Lang says.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
Lang argues that Suleiman would not have the stamina or the desire to become Egypt's next president. He adds, however, that Suleiman "is also not afraid to use force to put the country in order."
Having come from the military, like all Egyptian leaders since 1952, along with his tough stances on Hamas, Iran, and political Islamism, make him a popular choice with the armed forces in Egypt and the governments in Israel and US.
According to a US diplomatic cable dated May 14, 2007, titled "Presidential Succession in Egypt" and released in December by WikiLeaks, Suleiman was being groomed for succession:
"Egyptian intelligence chief and Mubarak consigliere, in past years Soliman was often cited as likely to be named to the long-vacant vice-presidential post. In the past two years, Soliman has stepped out of the shadows, and allowed himself to be photographed, and his meetings with foreign leaders reported. Many of our contacts believe that Soliman, because of his military background, would at least have to figure in any succession scenario."
But would Suleiman be good enough?
While Suleiman has no time for hobbies, according to Lang, he is a voracious reader, especially of the works of Ernest Hemingway. "He's probably read everything that Hemingway ever wrote," says Lang.
And now, with Mubarak increasingly under pressure to step down, eyes are looking to him as the man who will be tasked with keeping Egypt afloat amid a sea of public unrest and demands for political reforms.
But for tens of thousands of protesters in Tahrir Square, it's not just Mubarak who is the problem – it's his whole regime, including stalwarts like Suleiman.
"Yes, it's Mubarak, but it's the system, too," says Ahmed Dadr, a soft-spoken student who said he was exhausted from participating in street battles with the police. "Getting rid of Mubarak and keeping the system means the revolution hasn't succeeded."
Staff writer Dan Murphy contributed reporting from Cairo.

I'm staying with a friend at Peterborough near the George. We have an extreme craving for some good donuts, ie. pretty light and fluffy rather than chewy and doughy. We tried some mini donuts from a stand near cathedral sq but could not find it again. Can anyone tell us where to find some nice donuts preferably near Cathedral Sq or Peterborough St or anywhere in between so we can walk there. As detailed directions as possible, we don't mind takeaway or sit down with caffeine. help!
thank you in advance!
If you want good donuts you're not going to find them in Christchurch!
There are only a few "Dunkin Donuts" in NZ abd they are all in Auckland. There's a Donut King in Tauranga. - Both as far away as you can get from Christchurch!
There is a company called "Lil Orbits" that does mini hot cinnamon donuts that generally run out of caravans. Im unsure if they have those in Christchurch or not though.
If you get desperate and want the not so good kind you can try the bakery sections of Pak N Save or New World supermarkets (but from one Donut lover to another - im not recommending those!)
Good Luck.

When the sun rose over Tompkins Square Park last Sunday after a long, hot, angry night, broken glass and bloodied brows bore witness to the most violent conflict between the police and a crowd in New York City in years.
A week after what both sides agree was a riot, an inquiry by The New York Times into the events of that night, and into the decisions leading up to them, has found many instances of conduct by the police, who were called to confront crowds of protesters hurling bottles and verbal abuse, that appeared to violate either police rules or the law.
In an unusually harsh preliminary evaluation, Police Commissioner Benjamin Ward has already admitted that poor planning and tactical errors led the police to lose control of the situation, and he has questioned why mid-level commanders did not consult higher ones sooner. He has also promised a full investigation by the Civilian Complaint Review Board into nearly 100 complaints of police brutality, and the board will either substantiate or refute the claims.

I'm in the same boat. Mirror cover/cap costs the same or more than the entire assembly. Makes no sense, just wanton gouging.
I'm biting the bullet and buying an entirely new mirror (assembly w/ cap) on ebay. UPDATE 12/3/2012: The mirror arrived today. Looks pretty good and came pre-painted black. I stuck the cover onto my OE mirror and it fits but the top edge seam isn't 100% flush with the rest of the housing. I tried to reseat it but got the same result. Not a big deal. I haven't tried attaching the cap to the aftermarket mirror that came with it but I assume the fitment would be better. Thought about swapping the entire mirror assembly too but the aftermarket is not heated so I decided against it. Overall I'm happy as long as it doesn't fall off again. Paid $65 CAD shipped and it came in two days (they're located in my province). http://myworld.ebay.ca/primechoiceautopartsoutlet I'm left with a brand new mirror assembly sans cap that I'll either post on kijiji or keep as a spare.

"That is a dangerous, defeatist belief," said the President. Dr. King called America the "greatest purveyor of violence in the world today." He was right. And it is still today.
Read Whole Story
How would the NRA, who suggested after the Sandy Hook shooting in Connecticut that we provide armed guards in every school across America, at a cost of nearly $8 billion per year, respond to New Jersey's shooting?
What we say, do, and eat has global implications, and on these three major security frontiers we must do better: religious, food and climate security. Each of us has a role to play, and each of us is capable of making a difference.
We know from the countless stories of many marginalized American communities -- from LGBT communities to Latino immigrants -- that bullying is practiced, promulgated and promoted in America. Why are we so good at it?
The tragic Colorado theater shooting must stimulate a debate on more than mere gun control. Here's why.
Discrimination and prejudice is quite possible in the U.S. and it seems ever apparent in all things arguably related to Fethullah Gulen. America should be welcoming a Muslim scholar promoting secular education, science, tolerance and nonviolence -- not castigating him.
Lest we think the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin in Florida has little legal relevance for our Washington metro area, think again. All eyes should be on the state of Maryland.
A bigger question that must also be asked is "Who is Florida?" We could ask a question about the direction America is headed on race and violence but let's stick to Florida for a moment.
On Syria, there is a back-story from which the US should learn, lest it be repeated again. For years, long before the killing by President Bashar al-Assad's government began, the US preferred a policy with Damascus of disengagement. It is unclear why the White House pursued this.
Given the World Bank's focus on poverty, economics and climate, and given Sachs' wealth of experience in all three, there is no better candidate.
If the State of Mississippi is ultimately trying to save lives with Initiative 26 and reduce its high teenage pregnancy rate -- one of the highest in America -- it should focus on prevention instead.
This week's announcement that climate change is shrinking plant and animal species and is likely to have a negative impact on human nutrition in the f...
Refusal by US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Members of Congress, and now the Super Committee, to cut US defense spending puts our country on a dange...
Reduce income inequality and you reduce the rates of every kind of social malaise that are draining our federal, state and local budgets and services. Eradicate both and you have a certain moneymaker for America.
With $3.7 trillion already spent by the US on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is painfully apparent that this money is not being spent wisely; in some cases, it is simply being stolen.
Since "climategate" first broke the news two years ago, American efforts to enact effective climate policy at the federal level have been significantly undermined by a confluence of events.
October 7 marks the tenth anniversary of the US war in Afghanistan. After expending $4 trillion and thousands of lives, the US needs an exit from the depressing impasse of its militarized foreign policy.
While I recognize that there are legitimate concerns regarding the use of public funds for these charter schools... it seems that at the heart of this is an undercurrent of phobia about Islamic teaching in America.
The propensity in the U.S. to conflate Islam with violence precludes the possibility of nonviolent Muslim protest motivated by an internal incentive, be it secular or religious. However, the concept of nonviolence is not foreign or new to Muslims.
That the economics of peace have had such a hard time prevailing in policy conversations is, in part, because the dominant language, lobbies, and learning environments are all geared toward the mechanics of war.

IUB evolutionary geneticist Michael Lynch will lead a multidisciplinary research team that includes IUB biologists Miriam Zolan and Curtis Lively, IUB mathematician Elizabeth Housworth, and genomicists Justen Andrews and John Colbourne, both of the Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics located at IU Bloomington.
Genetic recombination is a critical phenomenon in the life cycles of all sexual organisms, and it is also the main reason why every human being looks different. Lynch and his team will focus primarily on genetic recombination in Daphnia, a genus of tiny animals also known as water fleas. Daphnia species have been used for decades by biologists around the world for basic studies of how genes work.
The grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Frontiers in Integrative Biological Research program, which encourages the cooperation of biologists, engineers, sociologists and information scientists in research.

Taliban Urges Rejection Of U.S.-Afghan Security Deal
As a bilateral security agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan begins an approval process, the Taliban's leader urged Afghans to reject the deal, calling it a colonial arrangement with elements of slavery.
The message came in an email on the eve of the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday. In it, Mullah Mohammad Omar told Afghans to keep fighting, as NPR's Sean Carberry reports for our Newscast unit:
"In an email statement, Mullah Omar calls the draft security deal a colonial agreement and a document of slavery that will only prolong war in Afghanistan. He says that the Afghan people must continue to oppose the Afghan government and foreign powers.
"Omar again calls on the Afghan people to reject next year's presidential election, calling it a western exercise. President Karzai continues to push for reconciliation with the Taliban and claims that Afghanistan will not compromise human rights to entice them to negotiate.
"Yet, the Taliban statement calls for an Islamic Emirate where women wear the veil and the sexes don't mingle."
As we reported Sunday, the new security deal was brokered over two days' worth of talks between President Hamid Karzai and Secretary of State John Kerry. Karzai has called for a Loya Jirga, a traditional council made up of public and tribal leaders, to vote on the agreement.
"They might get these documents rubber stamped by a fake Loya Jirga but it will not be acceptable to the Afghans," Mullah Omar wrote, according to Pakistan's Express Tribune. "Throughout the history, the real representatives and Loya Jirgas of the country have never signed documents of slavery."
The U.S.-Afghan deal provides for as many as 10,000 U.S. troops to be deployed in Afghanistan after the current mission's 2014 pullout date. The agreement also assures Afghanistan of U.S. support in case of an attack.

This programme focuses on...
- Home
- Pupils/Students
- Education Professionals
School Leaders
Support Staff
- Parents
Health & Safety
- Businesses/Charities
Expert Alan Howe gives two newly qualified primary teachers the task of planning a Year 3 lesson on rocks and soils.
The programme follows the teachers as they take very different routes and structure quite different lesson objectives supported by remarkably different websites. Their planning is put to the test in the classroom, but what will our expert make of them?
Lesson Planning on the Web explores how web material can enrich a lesson. One lesson is enhanced by the use of photographic evidence from the internet, while the other uses an ICT-based website game.
Also addressed is the importance of beginning the planning with clear objectives. The teachers also appreciate the need to critically review what comes up in a search in light of the needs of a specific class. As the NQTs create "bespoke" lessons for their classes, they begin to realise they can take ownership of the curriculum by using this kind of online planning support. It is an important message and one consistent with the DfES Excellence and Enjoyment Strategy for Primary Schools.

Yes, The Pirate Bay Stores IP-Addresses (Temporary)
There has been some buzz about the Pirate Bay's "privacy policy" this week.
Twitter user @pokex started it, by pointing out that The Pirate Bay is storing the IP-addresses of its users.
The story was picked up by ZDNet today, with the disclaimer that they could not verify the accuracy of the screenshots.
But we can…
The information shared by Pokex is not new and comes from an older news article covering a Pirate Bay "hack" in 2010.
At the time a group of Argentinian hackers have managed to gain access to The Pirate Bay's admin panel through a security breach, but no user information was leaked to the public.
The hackers did show what information TPB shares on its users.
So yes, like pretty much every website on the Internet The Pirate Bay stores IP-addresses. At The Pirate Bay, this is mostly used to deal with the massive onslaught of spammers.
For those who value their privacy it's probably wise to use a VPN service, but that should be common knowledge by now.
Update: The Pirate Bay team told TorrentFreak that the IP-addresses are stored temporarily, and that they will be unavailable in case someone gets their hands on the server.
"IPs are stored for 48 hours, and they are stored in ram so if someone tries to take a server the information is lost"
"They are stored in a HEAP table in mysql, wich is the memory storage engine, and are encrypted in case someone finds a sql-injection and takes the database"

Drawing on a vast array of research contexts ranging from brand collecting, globalizing food in India, and art consumption to rock festivals, dog shows, and fan fiction, this volume suggests both the breadth and depth encompassed by Consumer Culture Theory (CCT). CCT is a specific interpretive approach to understanding consumer behavior that has crystallized in the past few years out of an evolving stream of research conducted over the past few decades. These chapters present cutting edge CCT research and are a subset of the work presented at the first CCT Conference. Besides its focus on consumption, CCT research emphasizes the cultural context of consumer behavior with the intent of constructing theory.As the innovative writings, photography, and poems in this volume illustrate, rather than being a single theory, Consumer Culture Theory is a set of empirical and conceptual approaches emphasizing non-positivist methods and culturally constructed meanings. These chapters present a rich stew of ideas, findings, and insights that represent the best of CCT. Together they sketch some of the domains that CCT research seeks to inform.Collectively they should enlighten, inspire, and empower further research in the CCT spirit. It is international in scope. It provides a qualitative and quantitative approach to consumer behavior research.
