[b]Sahur Full-Moon Off-Road Ride[/b] 3aug2012
Sahur Full-Moon Off-Road Ride
3aug2012 The Holy Month of Ramadhan is approaching its mid-life. The full moon will be out, marking the 14th day. The weather has been good, apart from the haze coming in from Indonesia. Its time to do something different. To get through the full day fasting, Muslims normally wakes up about 1 hour before the first light of dawn creeps into the morning sky. Then its one whole day of abstinence from food and any form of water. Smoking and all other 'worldly desires' are prohibited during the same period. Meaning riding a bike during the fasting period will be particularly taxing. Hence the need to do more night riding. Which leads us to this ride. 24 bikes turned up that night. Including two Lady Motorraders, Justine on her F650GS and Khai on her G650GS. Pictures tell the story better; My ride started earlier. After breaking of fasting that day, I rode to the local Harley dealership to hang out with my harley friends. Coincidentally they were also doing a Sahur Ride, heading to Malacca, 170km South by highway. The Crossbone and the moon. I 'borrowed' my wife's Baby GS for this ride as it was parked most conveniently in the garage. Parked silently with Harleys in the background The Harley Boys By the time I left HD there was about 20 HDs of arious sizes that turned up. It was a short 12km ride to our RV point, a gas station just of the man NSH Highway that leads to KLIA, KL's Airport. By the time I got there Cee Kay and 5 others were already there. Within the next 10 minutes more arrived. Plenty of Baby GS on this ride. The Tiger was also present 3 Multis turned up including the one ridden by the DCM President. Our favorite whipping boy, Lamb, on his MTS2 Waiting for the last two We were scheduled to leave at 2330. We rode the Highway for about 18km. We turned off the highway and found ourselves at the start of the gravel route after 5 minutes riding. ABS n ASC set. 26km of off-road awaits ahead Crossing this unused uncompleted bridge. We descended from the bridge into a small complex of 100houses After which the road got really dark. [ And into a more rugged off-road track After 30 minutes of riding we stopped here for some photos I was pleased with the pictures from my Olympus, shot using just moonlight. After the lengthy stop, enjoying the moonlight, we rode to Banting for some refreshments From there we rode to Bukit Jugra, to the lighthouse viewpoint. the Lighthouse Our sahur was 75km away in KL. We left for home by 5AM. The video below tells a better story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0lpt2V2YJM |

German couple riding around the world
We are a German couple riding around the world for allmost 2.5 years now. In mid october we´ll ship our bikes to East Timor. Might take us roughly two month to get to Malaysia (app. mid December?). We haven´t yet decided, if we´ll stick to West Malaysia or if we´ll do a detour to the east (Borneo), too. The most important and enjoyable thing about our journey is to meet fellow minded local bike riders/travellers! If you are interested to meet us, just drop us a message. We would love to stay with you for a night or two and swap some traveller´s stories or talk about bikes or what ever! Furthermore we are very interested in the motorcycle club scene. I work as a freelancer for the german MC-magazine (bikers news) and I plan to write an articel about the MC/biker-scene in south-east-asia. Therefore we would welcome any chance to get an idea of malaysian motorcycle club life or to attend motorcycle meetings. By the way: how do I have to imagine a malaysian motorcycle rally? Is it like in Europe, where many riders gather somewhere in the nature and camp there? At night there´s usually some entertainment programm. How about Malaysia? Or is it more a ride-out and a party in bar, like it is done in some other countries. Cheers Panny

Planning a trip to Malaysia
Hello from New Zealand
My friend Oscar and I will be coming up to Sepang MotoGP 12/13 October this year. We will be departing from Singapore 18 Oct at the end of the week following the GP. This means we have about three days to travel from Sepang to Singapore. Flights are the only concrete plans at this stage and we need to plan the 3 day trip south. This may or may involve riding motorcycles. We would love to hear from some locals with touring suggestions, places to visit, accommodation ideas and travel tips. Rental car and train are the other possibilities I guess. Cheers, Johnny Wellington NZ

I have mixed feelings about this race, but on the whole I would recommend it. The pros are pretty straight forward: - Beautiful course, especially after the first 10k. - Very enthusiastic and supportive kids manning the water/gatorade stations. They were great. - Nice excuse to get away for MLK weekend. - Generally fast course, except that this year the headwinds were out of control. I read in the paper that the dude that won the race ran 12min slower than he expected. The negatives are: - Host hotel (British Colonial Hilton) is a dump. I would recommend staying at the Atlantis. There's a Carmines there so you can a) enjoy a wonderful property, and b) carbo-load on some fine Italian pasta. - Organization is not optimal...different packet pickups for for Komen 5k and Marathon was a bit annoying. Other: - Only about 115 people ran the marathon, so if you are looking for crowds in the last half of the race, don't count on it. I actually loved the solitude...It was absolutely beautiful running along the Bahamian coast, all alone, wind in the face, thinking...I am finding my inner chi... Overall, though, I would say this is a race that is worth doing. It's got a ton of potential to keep getting better.
This was our first trip to the Bahamas and what a wonderful introduction to it we had! The marathon really made it even more special. Everything about it was perfect, from the packet pickup to the party on the beach at the finish line. I loved every minute of it. The course was beautiful and always varied enough to keep the legs strong. The wind was pleasant, except for a couple miles when it was a bit of a challenge, but every race has its challenges. The weather was perfect, in truth. One of the aspects of this marathon which I really enjoyed was definitely the volunteers and the Bahamian spectators. Everyone was so friendly, cheerful and helpful. We felt very welcomed during our entire stay, and the marathon was no exception. Good aid stations, well supplied like any of the big races. Great goody bag. Great award ceremony at the end (I won my AG!) with cute conch shells given as trophies. What a wonderful idea! Thank you so much Sunshine Insurance Marathon Bahamas for making my race such a great event. And thank you Bahamas for the wonderful vacation my husband and I had! We will be back!
I love what Marathon Bahamas displaces at every marathon since 2010, to which i have been apart of. The 2010 marathon was my first one every, i did that in 7hr, in 2011 my time was 6hr and now 2012 my time is 5hr. I think i'm moving ahead. 2013, mmmm, what would it be. Can't wait to see, but i'll see you'll there again at the finishing line. Keep it up Marathon Bahamas, i'm your number # fan.
I ran Barbados Marathon last year which was very poorly organized and I was expecting something slightly better here in Bahamas. However, I was very amazed on how well this race was organized. From the expo to the race itself, it was wonderful. Of course the course itself was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you race officials for such a great experience!!
My wife planned a warm weather vacation for us. She was nice enough to schedule it around a marathon for me. It turned out to be a great race! I have done big-city marathons, small marathons, and many in between. The Bahamas had great weather the whole race. Nice, early start. Where there were people, they were cheering and fun. Water stops were good and spaced well. The finish area was good. My only complaint would be packet pickup. It was disorganized and not good. Hopefully they can figure it out in future years. We met some great people from all over the world. I would definitely go back and do this race again.
It was a great experience to run the Bahamas Marathon. The start/finish was just a short walk from our hotel in downtown Nassau, the Colonial Hilton. The expo in Cable Beach was easy to get to by bus for $1.50. The weather was cool enough to run in, and almost ideal. The breeze helped. One critical error: not having a lead bike caused the leader to turn around too soon (never trust the relay runners!). I guess some of the signage blew down or whatever. The tech shirt could have had a nicer design; I know sponsor logos need to go on the back, but they were on the front too. Good job with the course marshaling and hospitality.
Although there is much room for improvement, it was generally a positive experience for me. Some shortcomings could probably be attributed to the fact that it was an inaugural event. The course was not completely closed to the traffic, but cars were very infrequent and the police did their job well by making sure that runners had priority. I generally liked the course because it was scenic and mostly flat. The biggest hills were the two bridges between mile 1 and 2, but they were at the point when there is still a lot of glycogen in the muscles. Due to small number of participants I ran alone in the second part, wondering at times whether I was lost. Mile markers were not very well visible and did not have clocks. There were no age group awards, a disappointment for some, I am sure. On the other hand, it felt very private and personal from the expo to the finish line. The pasta dinner at the opening ceremony was excellent. The expo staff was very friendly and helpful. Spectators, although sporadic, were awesome. There was no shortage of water and Gatorade at the fluid stations. Finishers were greeted with festive music and a constant drum beat. It felt like a true celebration.
I currently live in the Bahamas, but I promise you that is not the reason why I'm writing this. In 2010, we had the inaugural marathon in the Bahamas, and it was more than great. The course starts from a historic landmark, and dips into the neighboring Paradise Island before taking you farther towards the west of the island, running besides the ocean for most of the course before ending in a great environment at the Arawak Cay. The route was properly laid out, traffic control was well-managed, and water/aid stations were sufficiently placed. There is room for improvement, but I wouldn't worry about it because I believe that they are already working on the feedback and bringing in means to make it a much better experience next year. The course, besides giving you an enduring and refreshing experience, also gives you a prelude to a great vacation that you could have in this friendly and warm city. Overall, a great way to start the new year with a marathon medal, especially if you are planning on a holiday during then. I'm going to be running this course again for sure!

Again, I fully respect artists' and authors' wishes....any of them who don't want this info "leaked" in this thread need only PM me or post in this thread, and I'll gladly remove the info.
But otherwise, there's no need for all the secrecy, since HMX has already stated it's not against the rules, and since the whole idea of the RBN is exposure. There may be exceptions, as always, but let's not devil's-advocate this too much. ;) The bands are in it to get their names and music out there, and that's exactly what we're here for. Remember, the HMX devs themselves were the ones who started this thread originally, so they understand all the hype (and I'm sure they want to promote it as much as possible).

Hi all,
Details now online for club camp to Southern Spain: http://tinyurl.com/cceczwc
The camp will be based at Kinetic PB who have converted a rowing center built in 2005 for an international championship into a training facility for endurance athletes. I've been and visited the place and the training on offer is excellent. As there is an open water canal on site as well as a permanent transition area then doing specific brick sessions and races is very easy. A group of MTC coaches are going out to the facility over NY in order to get used to the swim, bike and run options in the area so that they can properly support the camp at the end of February.

"And do as adversaries do in Law, Strive Mightily, But Eat and Drink as Friends"
Channeling Shakespeare, the new pub in the Caspersen Student Center encourages students to "strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends." Framed Harvard Law School memorabilia line the walls, including archival maps of campus, criminal and tort exams from 1871, and an 1897 letter to students from Dean James Barr Ames, which begins, "My attention has been called to a growing practice of smoking in the corridors in the intervals between lectures. … "
The pub is open Wednesday through Friday evenings. The cafe, adjacent to the pub, is open Monday through Friday, and for brunch on the weekend as well.
The new pub has become a student destination for dining, socializing and even studying. The billiard room is decorated with posters from HLS Drama Society parodies, including 1982's "It's a Long Way to Certiorari."

Walgreens recently presented research from two retrospective cohort studies exploring HIV and comorbid medication adherence at HIV-specialized pharmacies and the implications for HIV patients with serious mental illness.
With more than $7.2 million in sales for the 52 weeks ended Sept. 8, the landmark launch of Orasure Technologies' OraQuick In-Home HIV test last year was a key driver behind the 11.7% growth in the home-test kit across U.S. multi-outlets, according to IRI.

Jus soli
Jus soli (Latin: right of the soil),[1] is the right of anyone born in the territory of a state to nationality or citizenship.[2]
Countries that have acceded to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness will grant nationality to otherwise stateless persons who were born on their territory, or on a ship or plane flagged by that country.
At one time, jus sanguinis (right of blood) was the sole means of determining nationality in Europe (where it is still widespread in Central and Eastern Europe) and Asia. An individual belonged to a family, a tribe or a people, not to a territory. It was a basic tenet of Roman law.[3]
An early form of partial jus soli dates from Cleisthenes' reforms of ancient Athenian law. It developed further in the Roman world, where citizenship was extended to all free inhabitants of the Roman Empire, especially with the Constitutio Antoniniana (Edict of Caracalla).[3]
But it was much later, when the independence of the English colonies in America, and the French Revolution, laid the foundations for jus soli and with the social and economic development of the 19th and 20th centuries, and above all, the massive migrations to the Americas and Western Europe, that jus soli was established in a greater and greater number of countries.[3]
The geographer Jared Diamond has calculated that if the application of jus soli since 1850 were abolished, 60% of Americans and 80% of Argentinians would lose their citizenship, and 25% of British and French.[3]
At the turn of the 19th century, nation-states commonly divided themselves between those granting nationality on the grounds of jus soli (France, for example) and those granting it on the grounds of jus sanguinis (Germany, for example, before 1990). However, most European countries chose the German concept of an "objective nationality", based on race or language (as in Fichte's classical definition of a nation), opposing themselves to republican Ernest Renan's "subjective nationality", based on a daily plebiscite of one's belonging to one's Fatherland. This non-essentialist concept of nationality allowed the implementation of jus soli, against the essentialist jus sanguinis. However, today's increase of migrants has somewhat blurred the lines between these two antagonistic sources of right.
Lex soli[edit]
Lex soli is a law used in practice to regulate who and under what circumstances an individual can assert the right of jus soli. Most states provide a specific lex soli, in application of the respective jus soli, and it is the most common means of acquiring nationality. A frequent exception to lex soli is imposed when a child was born to a parent in the diplomatic or consular service of another state, on a mission to the state in question.[4]
Blurred lines between jus soli and jus sanguinis[edit]
There is a trend in some countries toward restricting lex soli by requiring that at least one of the child's parents be a citizen, national, or legal permanent resident of the state in question at time of the child's birth.[5]
Jus soli around the world[edit]
Jus soli is observed by a minority of the world's countries. Of advanced economies (as defined by the International Monetary Fund), Canada and the United States are the only countries that observe birthright citizenship.[6][7][8][9] As is shown clearly on the map, the jus soli is mainly in use in "the new world" — the Americas. Since 2004, no European country grants unconditional birthright citizenship.[10][11]
In an August 2010 report, the Center for Immigration Studies, through direct communication with foreign government officials and analysis of relevant foreign law including statutory and constitutional law, was able to confirm that 30 of the world's 194 countries grant automatic birthright citizenship (although they were not able to obtain definitive information from 19 countries).[8]
States that observe jus soli include:
- Antigua and Barbuda[9]
- Argentina[9]
- Barbados[9]
- Belize[9]
- Bolivia[9]
- Brazil[9]
- Cambodia[12]
- Canada[9][13]
- Chile[14] (children of transient foreigners or of foreign diplomats on assignment in Chile only upon request)
- Costa Rica[9][15] (Children born to non-Costa Rican citizens obtain citizenship if registered as a Costa Rican by the will of either parent during minority or by his own will up to the age of twenty-five)
- Dominica[9]
- Ecuador[9]
- El Salvador[9]
- Fiji[16]
- Grenada[9]
- Guatemala[9]
- Guyana[9]
- Honduras[9]
- Jamaica[9]
- Lesotho[17]
- Mexico[9]
- Nicaragua[9]
- Pakistan[9][18]
- Panama[9]
- Paraguay[9]
- Peru[9]
- Saint Kitts and Nevis[9]
- Saint Lucia[9]
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines[9]
- Trinidad and Tobago[9]
- Tuvalu[19]
- United States[9][20]
- Uruguay[9]
- Venezuela[9]
Modification of jus soli[edit]
In a number of countries, to discourage illegal immigration, automatic citizenship by jus soli has been withdrawn or restricted by imposing additional requirements, such as requiring that at least one parents be a legal permanent resident or that a parent has resided in the country for a specific period of time.[8] Modification of jus soli has been criticized as contributing to economic inequality, the perpetuation of unfree labour from a helot underclass,[5] and statelessness. Jus soli has been restricted in the following countries:[21]
- Australia:[5] Since 20 August 1986, a person born in Australia acquires Australian citizenship by birth only if at least one parent was an Australian citizen or permanent resident or upon the 10th birthday of the child regardless of their parent's citizenship status (see Australian nationality law).
- Colombia: a person born in Colombia with at least one parent being a Colombian citizen or resident is automatically a Colombian citizen (see Colombian nationality law).
- France: Children born in France (including overseas territories) to at least one foreign parent who is also born in France automatically acquire French citizenship at birth. Children born to foreign parents may request citizenship depending on their age and length of residence (see French nationality law).
- Germany: An exception to the increasing restrictiveness toward birthright citizenship, Germany, prior to 2000, had its nationality law based entirely on jus sanguinis. Now, children born on or after 1 January 2000 to non-German parents acquire German citizenship at birth if at least one parent has a permanent residence permit (and had this status for at least three years) and the parent was residing in Germany for at least eight years.
- Iran: Article 976(4) of the Civil Code of Iran grants citizenship at birth to persons born in Iran of foreign parents if one or both of the parents were themselves born in Iran. See Iranian nationality law.[22]
- Ireland: On 1 January 2005, the law was amended to require that at least one of the parents be an Irish citizen; a British citizen; a child of a resident with a permanent right to reside in Ireland; or be a child of a legal resident residing three of the last four years in the country (excluding students and asylum seekers) (see Irish nationality law).[5]
- Malaysia: a person born in Malaysia on or after September 16, 1963 with at least one parent being a Malaysian citizen or permanent resident is automatically a Malaysian citizen (see Malaysian nationality law).
- New Zealand:[5] Since 1 January 2006 a person born in New Zealand acquires New Zealand citizenship by birth only if at least one parent was a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident (see New Zealand nationality law).[23]
- South Africa:[5] Since 6 October 1995 a person born in South Africa to South African citizens or permanent residents are automatically granted South African citizenship (see South African nationality law).
- Thailand: Thailand operated a system of pure jus soli prior to 1972, but afterwards, due to illegal immigration from Burma, the Nationality Act was amended to require that both parents be legally resident and domiciled in Thailand for at least five years in order for their child to be granted Thai citizenship at birth.[24][25] Furthermore, someone who has Thai citizenship by sole virtue of jus soli may be stripped of Thai citizenship under various conditions (such as living abroad) which do not apply to people who have Thai citizenship by virtue of jus sanguinis.[26]
- United Kingdom: Since 1 January 1983, at least one parent must be a British citizen or be legally "settled" in the country (see British nationality law)).
Abolition of jus soli[edit]
Some countries which formerly observed jus soli have moved to abolish it entirely, conferring citizenship on children born in the country only if one of the parents is a citizen of that country. India did this on 3 December 2004, in reaction to illegal immigration from its neighbor Bangladesh; jus soli had already been progressively weakened since 1987.[27]
Maltese nationality law changed the principle of citizenship to jus sanguinis on 1 August 1989 in a move that also relaxed restrictions against multiple citizenship.[28]
Ireland abolished jus soli, which had been enshrined in the constitution, in favour of jus sanguinis in the 2004 referendum on citizenship, as a reaction to a perceived influx of asylum seekers.[citation needed]
- Barbados: The Barbados Ministry of Labour & Immigration recently proposed ending automatic birthright citizenship, noting in a recent report: "It is the Department's view that the legislation should be amended to stipulate that (as in the United Kingdom and the Bahamas) children born in Barbados will not be deemed to be citizens of Barbados, unless at least one parent at the time of the birth, has permanent status in Barbados. In addition persons born in Barbados should not be deemed to be citizens where the parents are residing illegally in Barbados."[29]
- Antigua and Barbuda: Similarly, an official from Antigua and Barbuda told the Center for Immigration Studies that the country's current effort to tighten immigration policies may include an end to automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.[30]
United States[edit]
The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution reads, in pertinent part, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Its wording was initially interpreted to exclude many Native Americans because they were not considered "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States and, thus, were not American citizens. However, Congress later extended citizenship to all aboriginal peoples in the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.[31]
In the 1898 case United States v. Wong Kim Ark 169 U.S. 649 (1898), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" restriction applied to two additional categories: children born to foreign diplomats and children born to enemy forces engaged in hostile occupation of the country's territory. The Court also rejected the government's attempt to limit Section 1 of the 14th Amendment by arguing that it was intended solely to allow former slaves and their descendants to become citizens.
The Court thus held that the petitioner, a child of subjects of the Emperor of China whose parents were lawfully living in the United States where he was born, was a U.S. citizen by birth. Notwithstanding the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, his citizenship status could not be revoked even if his parents were not American citizens at the time of his birth and all three made several trips to China afterwards.[32]
In an analysis of Census Bureau data, the Pew Hispanic Center found that about 8 percent of children born in the United States in 2008 (about 340,000) were offspring of unauthorized immigrants, with a total of 4 million U.S.-born children of unauthorized immigrant parents residing in the country in 2009.[33] The Center for Immigration Studies asserted that up to 400,000 children are born annually to illegal immigrants, representing about 10 percent of all children born in the United States.[34] Citing their numbers and concerns over "anchor babies", some lawmakers and activists have proposed abolishing jus soli in the United States.[5][35] Other commentators have argued that the Supreme Court's interpretation of the 14th Amendment was incorrect and should be narrowed to only establishing the civil rights, privileges and immunities of the freed slaves.[36]
Hong Kong[edit]
A modified form of jus soli is provided by the Basic Law of Hong Kong, but with respect to the right of abode in Hong Kong rather than nationality. According to Article 24(1) of the Basic Law of the territory, in force since the July 1997 transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong, all citizens of the People's Republic of China (PRC) born in the territory are permanent residents of the territory and have the right of abode in Hong Kong. Furthermore, according to Article 24(5) of the basic law, non-PRC citizens born to non-PRC citizen permanent resident parents in Hong Kong also receive permanent residence at birth. Other persons must have "ordinarily resided" in Hong Kong for seven continuous years in order to gain permanent residence (Articles 24(2) and 24(5)).[37] In Hong Kong, most political rights and eligibility for most benefits are conferred to permanent residents regardless of citizenship; conversely, PRC citizens who are not permanent residents (such as residents of Mainland China and Macao) are not conferred these rights and privileges.
Hong Kong's Immigration Ordinance initially restricted the application of Article 24(1) to babies whose parents had the right of abode at the time of the baby's birth. However, the Court of Final Appeal struck down this provision in the Immigration Ordinance in the 2001 case Director of Immigration v. Chong Fung Yuen.[38] As a consequence, many women from Mainland China began coming to Hong Kong to give birth; by 2008, the number of babies in the territory born to Mainland China mothers had grown to twenty-five times the number five years prior.[39][40]

Sunday, February 21, 2010
The article was inspired by Elmore Leonard's how-to book for writers, 10 Rules of Writing, which is about to come out in paper in the UK from Weidenfeld & Nicolson. (It doesn't seem to be available in the US except as a grandly overpriced $50 hardcover or Kindle ebook.)
But the Guardian article is free and has some wonderful advice from an assortment of contemporary literary heavyweights from Joyce Carol Oates to Neil Gaiman.
Some suggestions were common to most of the lists: edit to the bone, always read your stuff aloud, and don't write for markets.
I was interested to note that most of them also agree with the agents I quoted last month in advising against prologues.
Here's Elmore Leonard on the subject:
"Avoid prologues: they can be annoying, especially a prologue following an introduction that comes after a foreword. But these are ordinarily found in non-fiction. A prologue in a novel is backstory, and you can drop it in anywhere you want."
And Hilary Mantel:
"Be aware that anything that appears before "Chapter One" may be skipped. Don't put your vital clue there."
Here are ten of my favorite tips from the survey:
1) Roddy Doyle
"Do not place a photograph of your favourite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide."
2) Richard Ford
"Think of others' good luck as encouragement to yourself."
3) Anne Enright
"Imagine that you are dying. If you had a terminal disease would you finish this book? Why not? The thing that annoys this 10-weeks-to-live self is the thing that is wrong with the book. So change it. Stop arguing with yourself. Change it. See? Easy. And no one had to die."
4) Jonathan Franzen
"Interesting verbs are seldom very interesting."
5) Esther Freud
"Trust your reader. Not everything needs to be explained."
6) Neil Gaiman
"The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you're allowed to do whatever you like".
7) Michael Morpurgo
"It is the gestation time which counts…By the time I sit down and face the blank page I am raring to go. I tell it as if I'm talking to my best friend or one of my grandchildren."
8) P. D. James
"Read widely and with discrimination. Bad writing is contagious."
9) Joyce Carol Oates
"Keep in mind Oscar Wilde: "A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.""
10) David Hare
"Write only when you have something to say."
But in closing, it's good to keep in mind Al Kennedy's tip on taking advice from other authors: Don't "give older/more experienced/more convincing writers…charge of your brain, or anything else – they might be bitter, twisted, burned-out, manipulative, or just not very like you."
And this from Margaret Atwood: "Nobody is making you do this: you chose it, so don't whine."
6 comments:
Dearest Miss Allen,
Bummer. I was planning on writing a prologue to this comment, but maybe not.
Great post. I particularly like Miss Atwood's suggestions, & when it comes to writing for teens & kids, a heap of writers should take Miss Freud's advice more seriously.
Thanks again for a fine post.

Fantastic post as usual. Thanks for this, now I have something substantial to balance my 'crazy' against.

Neil Gaiman always says something that inspires me. My favorite advice of his is his article "Where I Get My Ideas From" (it's on his website) he says, essentially, that gets ideas by looking around and asking "what if"--all you need to write is an imagination, a belief in the impossible! That's so inspiring.
Anne Enright's tip is one I should probably listen to....but it's so hard to change your story, even when you know exactly what sections need to be changed! Sometimes I wish the silly thing wrote itself, grrr.
Anyhow, good post. - February 22, 2010 at 10:05 AM
- christineA said...
This is all wise advice. I even agree with most of it! I especially appreciate Margaret Atwood. I really must stop whining.

- Teebore said...
I love #1, and #5 is something I constantly remind myself.
I also think it's worth pointing out the inverse of #8 is true, as well: good writing is also contagious. - February 25, 2010 at 9:36 AM
- annerallen said...
Thanks, Teebore. You're right: we would be wise to remember that good writing is contagious, too.

Want to make a good first impression? Show those pearly whites. First impressions occur within the first three seconds of meeting someone. To feel your best when making your own first impressions, be sure to smile, whether you feel happy or not. It's free and it's fast.

Not once in 13 years as the head track and field coach at Nodaway-Holt has Jamie James ever been able to watch one of his girls athletes win a state championship.
By the end of this weekend, that could change.
The most dynamic girls athlete to come through Nodaway-Holt in a long time, junior Megan Rosenbohm enters the Class 1 State Track & Field Championships in Jefferson City as one of the top gold medal contenders in two of her four qualifying events—the long jump and triple jump.
If she can win one or both, she'd be the first state champion at Nodaway-Holt since Randy Miller won the triple jump in 2003.
"It's just going to depend on how she performs that day," said James who will accompany Rosenbohm at state. "If she continues to progress like she has in both jumps, she's going to give herself that opportunity. It would be a great accomplishment to bring home one. Two would be even better. That is possible for her."
A state title is about the only thing lacking from Rosenbohm's extensive track and field career resume.
She's won five medals in two years at state—three as a freshman and two as a sophomore.
Last year, she came close to winning the triple jump, finishing runner-up to Westran's Brenna Cerveny.
Rosenbohm is the No. 2 seed in this year's triple jump field and the top seed in the long jump, both of which she won at districts and sectionals.
The triple jump is first on her state agenda today at 2 p.m.
Rosenbohm jumped 34-2.50 to win sectionals, a mark that's second only to St. Elizabeth junior Allie Heckemeyer's 35-8.
No one else in the field of 16 jumped further than 34 feet at sectionals.
Rosenbohm's season best in the triple is 35-0.75 at districts.
The long jump is Rosenbohm's fourth and final event of the weekend Saturday at 2 p.m.
She is competing in it for the first time at state since her freshman year.
Rosenbohm's sectional winning distance of 16-4.25 is close to three inches further than what her two closest competitors—Heckemeyer and Salisbury's Sarah Wilhite—jumped last weekend.
James estimates there are five girls in the field that have jumped over 16 feet at some point this year.
"It's an extremely competitive field," said James. "She has as good of a chance as anyone to win it. If she performs to the best of her abilities, she'll have an opportunity to bring home a state title."
Rosenbohm is not considered a state title contender in either of her other two events—the 200M dash and 400M dash. And to medal in either one, she'll have to run better than her seed.
Page 2 of 3 - She's ranked 13th in the 200M dash (27.74) and 10th in the 400M dash (1:02.88)
A top eight finish in each preliminary race is needed to advance to Saturday's finals which would assure Rosenbohm of a medal.
Rosenbohm has medaled in the 400M dash twice and finished seventh last year. She has never run at state before in the 200M dash.
The prelims of the 400M dash are today at 3:20 p.m. and the finals are Saturday at 2:05 p.m. The 200 prelims are today at 5:05 p.m. and the finals at 3:05 p.m. on Saturday.
"If Megan runs her personal best in the 400, she'll make the finals," said James. "If she runs what her best has been all year, she should still have a chance to be in the top eight. The 200 is probably a little harder. The majority of the 16 kids are very close."
Rosenbohm is Nodaway-Holt's lone state qualifier and one of only two Nodaway County athletes competing in multiple events.
Five of the remaining county state qualifiers are going for the first time and two—Jefferson's Shanna Welch and West Nodaway's Emily Cordell—are returning medalists.
Welch made it to state in the triple jump for the fourth straight year with a third place finish at sectionals.
She's medaled in each of her previous three trips to state, finishing fourth as a sophomore and sixth as a junior. Welch is seeded seventh this year with a mark of 33-3, putting her in contention to medal again.
Cordell earned her way to back to state in the 400M dash, running second in sectionals. A fourth place finisher at state last year, Cordell is seeded eighth with a time of 1:02.47.
She'll be in the first heat of the 400 prelims today at 3:20 p.m.
"I think she'll do really well," said West Nodaway head coach Roger Johnson. "If she goes down like last year and knocks time off, she's got a chance to be one of the top kids in the state. She wants to improve upon her finish from last year."
Another state returner with medal hopes is North Nodaway sophomore Alysa Lyle in the high jump.
She won the event at sectionals with a season-best height of 5-0 and is seeded seventh, three spots above last year's 10th place finish.
Chamois' Allison Mehmert owns the top height of 5-3, while the third through seven seeds are all at 5-0.
Lyle jumps today at 11 a.m.
In the boys triple jump, Northeast Nodaway junior Steve Schulte is right on the edge of medal contention, seeded ninth.
He jumped a season-best 40-9.75 at sectionals to finish fourth. Schulte make his state debut at 11 a.m. Saturday.
Page 3 of 3 - NEN senior teammate Sage DeLong is the 13th-seeded runner in the 100M dash field with a time of 11.67.
All 16 state qualifiers ran in the 11's during sectionals.
The 100M dash prelim race is today at 1:20 p.m. and a top eight finish advances DeLong to Saturday's finals at 1 p.m.
The only other boys qualifier—West Nodaway sophomore Trevor Meyer—competes in the long jump today at 11 a.m.
He's also a No. 13 seed with distance of 19-4 that got him fourth place at sectionals.
"We feel he's going to have to jump 20 or better to be in contention for a medal spot," said Johnson.
West Nodaway's 4 x 400M girls relay is an even bigger underdog to medal, seeded 16th with a time of 4:38.49. The Lady Rockets qualified for state as the final seed out of Sectional 4 with a dramatic last-lap rally by Cordell.
She and senior Madison Hagey—a member of last year's 4 x 800M relay—both have state experience, while sophomores Toni Caroll and Mel McGinness are first-time state qualifiers.
The 4 x 400M prelims are tonight at 6 p.m. and the top eight run in the finals Saturday.
"We've been fighting some injuries all year and hopefully we're getting through that," said Johnson. "We definitely have the potential to drop time when we're down there which is a good sign."

The WBC has stated that Floyd Mayweather is in a "voluntary stage", and that he does not have to face his mandatory challenger, Manny Pacquiao, in his next fight.
Manny Pacquiao is now the official No. 1 contender to Floyd Mayweather's welterweight title belt, but that doesn't mean the fight is any more likely to happen than it was before.
Find out what you missed the past week. Countries highlighted in this review include the USA, UK, Argentina, Mexico, Thailand, Japan, China, Russia, Germany, Australia, Canada, France, Panama, Poland, New Caledonia, and the Philippines.
Richard Schaefer loves to say he doesn't care what Bob Arum says or does, but second to that is only Richard Schaefer's love of paying close attention to everything Bob Arum says and does, then taking the veteran promoter to task.
Manny Pacquiao's November 23 win over Brandon Rios just didn't move the needle in the build-up, as the fight did Pacquiao's lowest buyrate since 2008.
Ruslan Provodnikov's manager says he wants his man to face either Juan Manuel Marquez or Timothy Bradley for his next fight. But a lot of it will depend on who Manny Pacquiao battles in the spring.
Find out what you missed the past week. Countries highlighted in this review include the USA, UK, Argentina, Mexico, Thailand, South Korea, Italy, Latvia, China, Germany, Nicaragua, and Poland.
Floyd Mayweather Sr says that while Manny Pacquiao did a good job this past Saturday, he did that job against an opponent who couldn't do anything, and he still needs to prove more to fight Floyd Mayweather.

- RPaddict said...
I think this is the hottest photoshoot of the two of them. The chemistry is spot on. I love watching the video of the shoot.
I felt so stupid watching an hour of them getting their pictures taken.
The sad thing I enjoyed every minute of it.
They're eyes are so green and beautiful.
Think I'll go watch the highlights and listen to "Breathe me" on youtube. - September 29, 2009 at 9:47 PM
- Golnaz said...
It really doesn't get much hotter than these two! Loved the VF photoshoot of them!
- September 29, 2009 at 10:04 PM
- Karina said...
They're beautiful in similar ways-the dark hair and pale skin and pretty eyes. They look like siblings half the time.
The VF shoot was the best shoot Robert ever did. He was able to be very masculine in these shots--so often they overpose him or overstyle him or put him in clothes that make him look like a poser.lol
In this shot, he was tan, well-fed, dressed casual but hot, and posing like a real man. Love it. And him and Kristen are just ridiculous together in these shots-just gorg. - September 29, 2009 at 10:24 PM

Kristen is stunning. Hair is gorgous. That's why it drives me crazy when I see her looking like she did at comic con. It's hard to believe this is the same person sporting that mullet.

I cant wait to see him posing with someone else for once. BEL AMI!! Im over them being together fo shizzle in every freakn photo.
- September 29, 2009 at 10:40 PM
- rosa said...
They look great together as always...they shot that shoot about 10 minutes away from my house, which drives me mad!
I actually don't get sick of them together in pictures. I do get sick of him having to pout in most pictures that make publications. I like hiim smiling more. - September 29, 2009 at 10:46 PM
- rpattz-turns-me-on said...
do you think Rob would have the same intense chemistry with any other co star??
my answer is NO.........And please dont say (emily de raven) those two together looked Odd,
the R/K chemistry cannot be duplicated. - September 29, 2009 at 10:54 PM
- Spidermonkey said...
@Kathy- so true, so true. I don't see how anyone could set eyes on him and not want to get in his pants. How could that be possible??

- amazeofgrace said...
holy hottness........!!!
- September 29, 2009 at 11:27 PM
- Loisada said...
She was feelin' him... hell she had the Hallelujah chorus zingin' through every bone in her body! Honestly don't know whether to envy or pity Kris that day. With his hands cuddling her ass, her thighs straddling his chest, and his chin nestled down in her completely exposed cleavage, she didn't have many bodily secrets left at the end of that day. A girl likes to keep a little mystery about her! I hope she got some of her own back by teasing the hell out of our boy...
- September 29, 2009 at 11:52 PM
- JandR said...
Just cos I've been indulging in a little Midnight Sun this morning I'm gonna say that the gust of wind that is blowing her hair back filled her senses with his delectable scent and she half closed her eyes with the overwhelming desire to crush herself against him then and there and do all the dirty little things his hands on her ass had been suggesting to her for the past several minutes.... panting yet? I know I am ;-)

They both look absolutely stunning.
Jules, I agree.

I saw like four minutes of that shoot, and it's hilarious of these two...There's a part where she puts a leg up and her undies are exposed, and he's bent over in front but looking back and talking, and she catches him looking up her skirt and she flips him off while laughing....she is a lucky girl, the photographer had him readjust his ass holding hands and she had to jump up and reland in his hands...hilarious outtakes video on this...

Rob is a beautiful creature! - September 30, 2009 at 2:48 AM

I'd feel him too if he held my ass like that! Gawd, it's only 9am here, I can't already have this kind of thoughts in my mind LOL
In the first pic, his face looks like 'now get the hell out of here and leave us alone' LOL - September 30, 2009 at 3:45 AM

Damn I'm jealous of her! His big hands on my ass - stradling him that way - those damn bedroom eyes and that sex hair. Wow!!

The VF photos are the sexiest!!!

It may very well be the 'hottest' photshoot of Rob and Kris. Did you notice how long Rob had Kris up in he arms (I meant her ass in his ands :) Just saying… the man has some strength in those gorgeous arms of his and can clearly last a while (sigh)
- September 30, 2009 at 12:37 PM

They're both very attractive people. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Kristen has fallen for his charm like the rest of us. How can she resist?

I used to have a Github account and later eventually deleted it. I felt Mercurial was a superior source control system and so I wanted to stick with that. At work we switched to using git. And that's when I discovered gitextensions.
Gitextensions in my opinion makes git usable for me on Windows. My only real complaint with git was that there wasn't a good gui for it on Windows. Git also has a few features that I can definitely say are superior to Mercurial, fast-forwarding for instance.
I've moved most of my open source code over to Github as of now. There are some things that I haven't moved and probably will never move but will remain on Codeplex.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Briar Rigg House! I loved the privacy of staying somewhere with only one room. It meant we had the whole sitting room to ourselves, with a lovely log fire and beautiful views of the garden.

The owner greets you with a huge smile and is friendly. The unit itself is so old and outdated but it was a place to sleep. The bed was actually comfortable, but only one pillow each on the bed.

Under the full snow moon
Poem and photos by Jamie Lund after snowshoe hike in Jay Cooke State ParkBy: Jamie Lund, Pine Journal
Muted voices murmuring
anticipation of
snow moon snowshoe hike
A quiet crowd,
snowshoes under a full snow moon,
air humming with excitement.
Snowy paths,
peaceful woods,
red glow sticks mark the way.
Moon plays peek-a-boo
among the clouds
as the groups walk single-file
into the crisp white night.
Up and down hills,
over fallen logs,
past crackling fires of
winter campers.
Hikers howling at the moon.
Back at the center:
hot chocolate satisfies,
cheery fire warms,
under the full snow moon.

Spine Surgery: Robert Wood University Hospital presents a less invasive spinal fusion surgery which eliminates lower back pain.
Through our partnership with OR-live.com, the leaders in healthcare webcasting, we are able to provide access to their archive of live operations, broadcast from leading hospitals in the USA.
We feature a recording of a live webcast of one of the latest spinal fusion surgery techniques. Surgeons at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Jersey perform an innovative spinal fusion to eliminate the debilitating discomfort for back pain suffers. The spinal fusion procedure is known as transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion or TLIF. Most patients are out of bed and walking the day after the surgery, typically spending only two days in the hospital. Some patients return to work as early as two weeks following the procedure.
You will need to download and install RealPlayer Basic or RealPlayer Plus to view the webcasts.
