Supporting Documents
All students must submit the following documents to be considered for admission:
- A completed application form (if not applying online)
- Official copies of transcripts in both original language and an official English translation from all colleges and universities you have attended.
- Official Degrees or diplomas in the original language and an official English translation.
- Official transcripts, degree certifications and diplomas for each university degree must be submitted in both the original language of instruction, when that language is other than English, and in official English translation.
- "Official" documentation means original or duly certified and authenticated copies of the originals.
- Any document that is submitted by mail CANNOT BE RETURNED.
- However, an applicant is permitted to retain any original if he or she personally presents it to the Graduate Admissions Office for examination and copying.
- Official documentation should initially be mailed to the LL.M. program office, and we will forward the documents to the Graduate Admissions office upon a favorable admission decision.
- If you send original documentation to the Graduate Admissions Office, please also send a copy of each document directly to the LL.M. Program Office, as Graduate Admissions will not review applications until the program refers it to them, and we need the documents before we can decide to make the referral.
- Copies may be sent to the program as pdf attachments to email when necessary.
- In extraordinary circumstances —such as when only one original diploma is issued, or when the student is admitted contingent upon completion of graduation requirements at their home institution— the Program and the Graduate Admissions Office can rely on simple copies during the admissions process, subject to verification of the originals once the student arrives in Gainesville.
- Students admitted conditioned upon an examination of original documentation will not be permitted to register for classes until they complete the verification process.
- English Language Proficiency documentation when required
- The program follows the university's admission rules regarding English Language Proficiency including the list of acceptable exams, the minimum required score and the list of countries exempt from the test requirement. (http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/intl/admissioninfo.html#engproficiency).
- English Language Tests. For applicants whose primary language is not English, the results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or other English-language-proficiency exams authorized by the University of Florida are required.
- Because the method of teaching in the College requires a high degree of English comprehension and the writing of examinations and the research paper requires substantial ability to write in English, the LL.M. program strongly prefers a minimum overall score of 600 on the TOEFL test (250 for the computer-based test or 100 for the Internet-based test). A minimum score of 50 is preferred on that part of TOEFL which relates to oral ability to understand English.
- For applicants using the IELTS exam, the program prefers a minimum total score as well as a Listening score above 6.5.
- In addition, interviews (either in person or by telephone or videoconference such as Skype) will be conducted by a College of Law representative to determine further the applicant's comprehension of English.
- Submitting Test Results.
- IELTS and MELAB results must be submitted by mailing original certifications to the Office of Graduate Admissions.Please send a simple copy directly to the Program office as well either by regular mail or as an email attachment.
- TOEFL results must be submitted electronically by using the Institution Code 5812 and sending it to the attention of the University of Florida, not the College of Law; Division: Graduate Schools, not Law Schools; Department Group "Any Department Not Listed." The TOEFL scores are electronically matched to student applications, any discrepancy between the TOEFL record and your application, especially as to your name, will delay the process.Please send a copy of the printed TOEFL report to the Program office by mail or as an email attachment when you submit the scores.
- English Language Institute Alternative. Applicants are also permitted to show English Language Proficiency by successfully completing the course of study at the university's English Language Institute.
- The English Language Institute tests each student to determine their existing level of proficiency upon arrival.
- Based on the score in that exam, the ELI places the student at the appropriate starting level of education within the program.
- Most students then take two semesters to successfully reach the exit level for the ELI, which is the completion of all level 60 courses.
- However, depending on the starting level, students may take as little as one semester and as many as three or four to successfully reach the highest level of proficiency required to exit the ELI and enter a graduate program.
- Admitted applicants who meet the minimum proficiency standard may voluntarily choose to attend the ELI in order to improve their English skills prior to starting or during the program.
- English Language Institute.
- "Application Fee Cover" form, with a nonrefundable $30 bank check in U.S. dollars payable to the University of Florida (if applying online, this fee may be paid by credit card).
- Two letters of recommendation from law professors or other references commenting in detail on scholastic and professional qualifications. Letters must be in English or accompanied by a certified English translation.
- Personal statement/proposed study plan.
- Personal Statement: A typed personal statement recounting your background and why you have chosen to pursue the LL.M. in Comparative Law is required as part of the application. You should include your areas of special interest and your career goals. Consider your written personal statement to be "an interview on paper." Work experience following the first professional degree is encouraged, and applicants who demonstrate a commitment to careers in teaching and public service will be preferred. Outstanding achievement in the legal profession is another positive factor.
- Study plan: Admitted candidates must submit their study plan to the director for approval.
- Personal interviews, through teleconference when necessary, may be required by the director or requested by the applicant.
Application Process
Applications are initially reviewed by the Program Assistant to ensure that they are complete. If an application is not complete, the Program Assistant will attempt to contact the applicant to request any missing information or documentation. Completed applications are evaluated by the LL.M. in Comparative Law Program Admissions Committee. A favorable vote by the committee is required for admission. If an applicant is approved by the Admissions Committee, the application is referred to the Graduate Admissions Office for its approval, which is primarily dedicated to verification of the candidate's credentials. Once the applicant is admitted by the Graduate Office of Admissions, the program can authorize the initiation of the visa application process through the I-20 order if the applicant requires an entry visa.
The application process involves a faculty admissions committee at the Levin College of Law and the University of Florida Graduate Office of Admissions.
The LL.M. in Comparative Law Program operates within the University of Florida Graduate School, along with other graduate programs such as Engineering and History.
The Graduate School Office of Admission determines your eligibility for admission to the University of Florida by, among other things, ensuring that you have submitted bonafide transcripts. The Application for Admission, official English Language Proficiency test score, official transcripts (and an English translation, if necessary) and the $30 application fee should be sent to the Office of Admission, 201 Criser Hall
P.O. Box 114000, Gainesville, Fla. 32611-1400.
The admissions committee of the LL.M. in Comparative Law Program, made up of members of the faculty of the College of Law, decides whether to accept your application for admission to our Program. This committee will read your letters of recommendation, your personal statement, and consider your academic and professional record in making its decision. The "Department Copy" of the Application form should be completed and sent, along with copies of your transcripts, a personal statement, two letters of recommendation and your TOEFL score, to Professor Pedro A. Malavet, Director of the LL.M. in Comparative Law Program, P.O. Box 117643, University of Florida Levin College of Law, Gainesville, FL 32611-7643.
International Student Requirements
If the admitted student is not a citizen of the United States or a citizen of another country already admitted to entry into the United States, an appropriate entry visa will have to be processed through the University of Florida International Center.
Application Deadline
Applications are accepted throughout the year. Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Admission decisions will begin to be made, on a rolling basis. Admission decisions are made as soon as the application is complete. While the LL.M. in Comparative Law Program has no absolute deadline for applications, no guarantee of consideration is possible for applications that have not been completed by April 30. Because the Comparative Law Program begins with the Summer B-C session, generally in mid-July, applications received after April 30 are unlikely to be evaluated in time to allow the candidate to complete any required visa processing. If you are a United States citizen or are already admitted to the United States, the application process can be completed after this date.

"We sold about 700 turkeys this year, fresh turkeys," said Steve Cartinella, manager of Blue Ribbon Meat Company. "We also sell a lot of prime rib, whole ham, geese and lambs. Not everyone likes turkey. We also have fried turkey that is pretty good."
Cartinella has been working as a butcher on-and-off since 1974. He has been managing the Blue Ribbon store front since it first opened.
"Blue Ribbon was first opened in 1946 as a wholesale vendor and it's still a family-owned business," said Cartinella. "The storefront opened three and a half years ago."
Spices, like pepper and paprika, line the wall inside the cutting room, where Blue Ribbon employees slice meat off the bone into smaller pieces. The storefront is lined with meat that is ready to order.
Blue Ribbon offers other family favorites like bacon, pork chops and hamburger meat. It also offers more exotic meats like Argentinian chorizo and pates.
"We grind new hamburger meat every day," said Cartinella. "Our meat is guaranteed fresh, probably the freshest you can get. We don't add any additives to the hamburger meat, either."
Many of the lamb products come from the animals raised at the University of Nevada-Reno farm.
For those looking for organic or grass-fed products, those meats can be special ordered.
With the closure of Butcher Boy's and the lack of area competition, business has been doing well.
"Each year, we do more and more, get more and more popular," said Cartinella. "We sold more turkey this month than we did at this time last year. We have a lot of great customers. Some just walk here. Others drive all the way up from the south side of Reno. But we're still trying to get our name out. A lot of people have never heard of us before."
They have a devoted fan base, with customers raving on the butcher's Facebook page about the freshness of the food. "They are so much better than the grocery store," one reviewer said. "You have to try their giant bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos!"
"People like us for our prices," said Cartinella. "We are relatively less expensive than places like Costco and Scolari's. We carry choice beef. It's a better quality of meat you can find in most places."
The employees at Blue Ribbon beam with pride of their customer service.
"This is a place where we know your name," said Cartinella. "'Hi, Mrs. Smith. Here's your beef. Thanks for coming in today.' That's how things are done here. We give you great cuts of meat and great customer service."
For the rest of the holiday season, Blue Ribbon Meats is accepting pre-orders.
"Stop in and see what we have to offer," said Cartinella. "We are going to give you some of the best meat you ever eaten."
For more information about Blue Ribbon Meat Company, call (775) 358-8116.

Dave wrote:Uselses clearing 16' looked a lot more like a straight pole vaulter than a modern vaulter. I didn't look really carefully, but it didn't look like he had a lot of pushoff. His biggest gain was from a higher handhold rather than any sort of released energy from the pole pushing him up.
Indeed. The most arresting visual aspect of a fb vault vs. a stiff pole is the arc the body describes. In a straight vault the body swings up and then 'falls' over the bar with little 'trajectory'. In a fb vault there is a much more pronounced arc characterized by the angle of the push-off as the body is still ascending.
Anyone remember this dude?

My jaw dropped when I saw him vault; he looked like he was being THOWN over the bar when he vaulted; he was just along for the ride. Never seen anything like it till Bubka started doing it too.

|Loopy Laps
|Lunch #3
|In this game, students will speed up or slow down their movements in response to the healthiness of the food named.
|Students will distinguish between "go" (healthy) and "slow" (less healthy) lunch foods.
- Gather the students into a circle around you.
- Quickly review what makes a food a "go" food vs. a "slow" food. ("Go" foods help their bodies go and grow. "Slow" foods are high in fat and added sugar and can slow their bodies down.)
- Remind them that although sugar can make them feel excited at first, it will make them feel very tired after a while. Ask them if they like feeling tired.
- Explain that you will list some lunch foods (select examples from the "go" and "slow" foods listed below) and ask the students to call out "go" or "slow" for each one.
- Once they have correctly identified some foods, tell them you are going to play another game about "go" foods and "slow" foods called "'Go' or 'Slow'?"
- Tell them you are going to name lunch foods. If a food is a "go" lunch food, they should jog (or skip or hop) in a circle. If a food is a "slow" lunch food, they should slow-motion walk in a circle.
- Demonstrate the movements, then start the game with a "go" food.
- Have the students perform each action for 10-15 seconds before you name a new food.
- If you wish to challenge the group further and keep them on their toes, pick up the pace as you switch between "slow" and "go" foods.
- If time permits, review some foods and their "go" or "slow" classifications with the class. Remind the class to choose "go" foods more often.
Background Information
Although all foods can fit into a healthy eating plan in moderation, it is important to reinforce that healthier foods give the body more energy to play and grow. "Junk foods," (processed foods high in fat and added sugar), contain a significant amount of calories but add very little nutrition to kids' diets.
It is important to connect kids with their food and get them thinking about food less in terms of "good" and "gross" and more in terms of "healthy" and "less healthy" (or "go" and "slow").
Healthy ("Go") Lunch Foods and Drinks:
|baked fish
|whole grain pasta
|wheat crackers
|low-fat yogurt
|low-fat string cheese
|brown rice
|cucumber slices
|skim milk
|baked potatoes
|carrot sticks
|low-fat chicken burritos
|100% fruit juice
Less Healthy ("Slow") Lunch Foods and Drinks:
|potato chips
|hot dogs
|fried chicken
|creamy soups
|french fries
|white bread
|fried fish sticks
|soft drinks

Nitric OxideNitric Oxide
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Used for Amount WhyAthletic Performance 4 gram three times per day [2 stars]It has been speculated that AAKG may increase production of nitric oxide, a substance known to enhance blood flow. In one study, AAKG improved measures of strength and short-term power performance in weight lifters.
Nitric oxide is the popular name for AAKG (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate), a compound made from the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, a substance formed in the body's energy-generating process. AAKG is a popular supplement among bodybuilders and other athletes because of claims that it increases production of nitric oxide in muscles. Nitric oxide is known to have blood-flow-enhancing effects,1 which could in theory increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to exercising muscle. While L-arginine by itself is known to increase nitric oxide production, no research has been done to show that AAKG does the same. However, double-blind trials of AAKG suggest it improves some measures of strength and power resulting from weight training.2, 3

Things I liked: I dreamed a big bore air rife from the time I was 12, Now I am 58. My gun started out at a little less than 850 fps with round ball and after over 500 shots it is faster. The hand pump is ok for my disco. but it quickly became time for a scuba tank and at $7 per fill its worth it. I can get about 200 shots from a 100 cubit foot 3500 lb. tank and hundreds of shots from the disco. after that. Quarter size groups at 50 yards with horn. round balls and a 200 gr. muzzleloader bullet that a friend has and I'm good to go.
Wolfgang--I spoke with our tech department about the bolt handle, and failure to keep the screw tight on the bolt handle is what causes the breakage.
I've had one of these for about 4 years now and have put hundreds of rounds through it. Get yourself some bullet molds and soft lead and pour your own ammo. Saves lots of $. Dump the fill port probe and have a quick disconnect male foster fitting installed instead. No more leaks or split o-rings. Get a high pressure fill hose and have a quick-disconnest female fitting put on each end. One will go to your gun and the other to the QD. male fitting on your air tank. Forget the screwing.Go to Harbor Freight Tools and buy a small strap wrench. You'll need it to remove the barrel when you have to replace the O-rings in the load port. Keep 'em lubed with silicone grease to cut down on the wear. Save up and buy a 4500psi tank, forget about those cheap 3000psi ones, you'll only get 1 good fill and after that it's all down hill. The cocking handle is prone to break because it's out of pot metal, so keep the screw that holds it in place tight to get rid of any wobble. I ordered a spare one made of steel that I have with me when I go shoot. A broken charging handle means your day of shooting is over. They're available on-line. So far I havn't broken my original one yet. And yes, a power tune really helps. The barrel threads are metric, since it's a Korean gun. Those are 16 X 1.5mm but a 5/8" X 18NF thread will work just fine. I put a Beeman Muzzle Break on the end of mine with that thread and it sure dressed it up. Other than that, this is a bad-ass air rifle more than capable of taking out deer sized game. Get one, you won't regret it. If you want to see pics of my setup, get ahold of me at email@example.com
Things I liked:Value for the money - if you want a big bore air rifle its hard to beat the 909S. Lots of power for not a lot of money. I also like the looks of the single tube.
Things I would have changed:The trigger. The trigger on this rifle is absolutely terrible. Its gritty and the pull weight is somewhere in the double-action revolver range. There are tuners out there that can fix that though but I sure wish it came with a good trigger like many other top of the line airguns.
What others should know:If you're going to put a scope on this rifle - and you really need to to get the kind of performance its capable of - you will need the highest rings you can get. I used BKL high rings with a scope with a 40mm objective and still had to remove the rear sight blade to make it work. This is because the rear sight is very tall.
Things I liked: nicely mad very stylish look and extreamily accurate for a big bore air gun
Things I would have changed:the trigger is to heavy
What others should know:have it worked on by a gun smith for trigger and power tune

BOISE -- The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan on Sunday issued a statement marking four years that a U.S. soldier has been held captive by the Taliban.
Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford addressed U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's family directly: "I want to say that we know you have not given up hope, and neither have we."
The 27-year-old Bergdahl of Hailey, Idaho, is the only known American soldier held captive from the Afghan war.
He disappeared from his base in southeastern Afghanistan on June 30, 2009, and is believed held in Pakistan.
In Hailey, yellow ribbons continue to hang tied to the base of light poles and trees, symbolizing the town is not whole.
At a June 22nd rally in Bergdahl's hometown, 2,000 people prayed for Bowe's safe return to his loved ones.
"Bowe we love you we support you and are eagerly waiting your return home," said Bowe's mother Jani at the rally.
Bowe's father, Bob Bergdahl, told the crowd that years ago Bowe told his dad that going to Afghanistan was his role. He wanted to help the people of that country.
"He is just one of dozens of young people from this community that went off to war after 9/11 answered the call of their country," he said.
Bowe's parents stayed private about their son for years, but at that rally, they didn't hold back. Their strong presence and emotional words struck a chord with the audience.
"I will not leave you on the battlefield Bowe, these people here will not leave you on the battlefield, your country will not leave you on the battlefield, and you are not forgotten," said Bob.
New this month -- talks of possible negotiations between to the U.S. and the Taliban to exchange Bowe for prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
"A father does not leave his son alone on the battlefield. I don't live here, I live in Afghanistan," said Bob. "I might be standing here but I am living vicariously through my son."

Are you worthy of such delicacies? – This local gem is craftily hidden away from those unworthy; only the pure of heart may enter.
I need not travel to china, i have my own little piece of it right here in my neighborhood.
The first time i ate here, swear to god i went blind with happiness.
If you can navigate the treacherous streets of San Antonio, i recommend this holy grail of Chinese cuisine.
This restaurant is awesome! – The place is small but don't let that fool you. The food is great, and the prices are reasonable. I suggest getting a combination plate and chosing two items. I tried the mongolian beef and the kung pao chicken. The food is very fresh and the egg rolls are tasty. Try this place out!
Best Chinese food in San Antone – This is the best Chinese food in town plus the service is great. Prices are very affordable for lunch specials and they run daily from 11 AM to 4 PM so it is very accommodating schedule wise. If you like spicy, try a Hot & Sour soup for starters and Kung Pao Chicken as the entree. If in a group, try the group meals to sample several dishes. I also recommend the Curry Chicken.

Police: Woman crashes into school busMarch 19,2013Police: Woman hits school bus
A New York State woman is in fair condition after police said she rear-ended a loaded school bus Monday morning.
Shortly before 9 a.m., Darlene Erwin, 68, of Bomoseen, was driving a school bus with 15 Fair Haven Union High School students when she stopped for flashing red lights at a railroad crossing while traveling east on Route 4, according to police. Paulette Sheldon was also driving east in a 2010 Toyota Yaris when she crashed into the stopped bus, police said.
Neither the students nor the bus driver were injured, but Sheldon was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center, where she was listed in fair condition.
Drugs or alcohol did not contribute to the crash, police said.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: Soil beneath Greenland ice sheet predates dawn of mankind, Hitch faces true Hollawood problem head-on, Mark Twain on school boards, all in today's minute. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

How Can You Hook the Reader?
Let's get right into it and begin with page one of your story, manuscript, novel etc.
Most books I've read about writing agree: the writer must begin the work of grabbing the reader's attention in the first sentence. And if the first paragraph has failed to entice the reader to continue, the project does not stand a chance of getting beyond the slush pile in any publisher's office.
In my role at work, I often read and review new project ideas, book proposals and new manuscripts, and seeing so many projects, I want something to tackle me on page one. So I firmly agree that the writer must demonstrate his or her ability right away, or my red flags start to go up fast.
But I am talking about more than simple writing ability or good grammar. How really does one go about crafting a story, a chapter, an entire novel or even just a scene, so that the reader cares enough about the characters, the plot or the fictional world to continue reading? I have heard some say that sharp opening dialogue is the key to getting the reader to relate to the characters and thereby garnering their interest. Some writers use humor. Others will begin with an interesting symbolic metaphor or a particularly poignant bit of internal character commentary.
I don't think there is a single correct way to go about it. But how much grace do you give a book before you decide it's just too dull to be worth your time? Here are some thoughts on hooking an audience that fit this discussion:
In a blog post over at The Swivet about Joss Whedon, a writer ridicules Whedon's new show "Dollhouse" for starting too early in the story and for making fans of the show wait until episode 7 before the show "really gets going".
I haven't seen the show, so I can't comment on Whedon's storytelling in this particular case, but the point of this post is a good one. If you can't hook your TV viewer in the first 60 minutes of a TV show, should you really be making that particular show? Or did you start it in the wrong place? The writer posits the idea that if novelists haven't hooked their reader by page 60 of their novel, then the book won't find an audience.
60 pages? Seriously? If a book bored me to snoring, I don't think I would give it 6 pages!
If literary agent Noah Lukeman is correct, we writers have even less than 6 pages. In his book The First Five Pages, Lukeman writes that he is always looking for reasons to reject a query, proposal or manuscript. Essentially, he can make a decision about a book within the five pages of a manuscript. Wow.
I, for one, don't mind waiting a couple episodes for a show from someone like Joss Whedon. But I'm no Joss Whedon (nor a bestselling author), and so I think it's my responsibility to hook my readers on page one (with which I'm still fumbling a bit).
Here is the simple lesson I've been learning, and relearning lately. Less is more. Writers must create a heightened sense of mystery or wonder or curiosity fast - on page one, if possible. The rest of the story should be all about how that mystery or sense of curiosity is solved or satisfied: one small, tantalizing piece of information at a time. This is what I've got today.
Meanwhile, what kinds of things have you done to HOOK the reader in your writing? Do you agree with Lukeman that writers have five pages, or do you think 60 pages is reasonable?

I've always thought the First Sentence rule is useful to get writers to begin the story in the right place. But I have seen a melodramatic opening line/paragraph/chapter treated as a kind of license to meander through the next five pages or chapters.
Five pages (adjusted appropriately for manuscript length) seems like the right size to introduce a setting, character, story hints and above all, the writer, to the reader.
- Robert Treskillard said...
I think all the rules apply: The first sentence rule must get the reader hooked so they read those first five pages. The first five pages must hook the reader to get them reading the first 50. The first fifty better deliver, or else the book will be put down and forgotten.
Everyone's too busy now-days to waste time on a boring novel.
My problem (and the problem of many others) is that I have a prologue, and so I have to "hook" the reader twice ... back-story and the main-story. I also know that many skip the prologue, so I have to start chapter 1 assuming they're not hooked yet.
- LisaBit said...
Maybe I'm just too nice, but I give books 100 pages before I decide to put them down. Maybe its an artifact of reading far too much epic fantasy, but there are so many good books out there that take time to get going. Fellowship of the Ring is the classic example, but there are many more modern examples as well: Glass Books of The Dream Eaters, Kushiel's Dart, even A Game of Thrones to some extent. Hell, Kushiel's Dart actually takes more like 120 pages - the first time I read it I stopped at my 100 cut off and only picked it up again a year later after a friend pestered me to death.
That said, the flip side is that I'm less likely to buy a book in the first place if the first page or so doesn't impress me. Of course given the size of my stack, maybe I should be a bit more discerning... ;)

This is quite the conundrum: I've never bought (or didn't buy) a book base on the first line, paragraph, page, etc. To me it has always come down to the summary (whether on the back or inner flaps of the sleeve) of the story; that's what I view as the hook. If I find it interesting, I'll get the book and start reading without much thought at how it all begins.
On the other hand, I'm very critical of my own novels and I do abide by the first line/first page rule. And there was one instance when I changed the beginning of a story to a whole different timeline because I didn't like/think that first page was good enough.
It's tough, especially for a unpublished person trying to break in 'cause granted, there has been many brilliant books that didn't have the best of beginnings, and now more than ever, publishers are less likely to have faith on a manuscript and keep reading for just a bit longer. As Noah Lukeman says: he's always looking for a reason to reject a manuscript. Mean perhaps, but that's the industry now and we have to deal with it.
On the subject of "prologues" I see it as an opportunity to give the reader something tantalizing that would make them want to find out more even if the "actual" first page isn't as neck-grabbing.
- Alexander Field said...
Edward (etwriter), I agree, that first sentence rule can be abused if one is not careful - or if the writer takes far too much license with that idea. And five pages is my rule as a reader of new proposals, so obviously the hook must be planted by then!
Robert, ultimately I agree - the whole book MUST deliver. But a HOOK is more than simply good prose, right? I think the hook has to be deliberate. And speaking of the prologue issue, I have the problem as well! : )
- Alexander Field said...
Lisa, I'm with you - if the first few pages don't deliver SOMETHING interesting, even something small!!, I'm done. I want to know though, after you picked up Kushiel's Dart again, did you finish it?? And was it worth it? What kept you going? Was there a hook of some kind buried in that 120 pg lead up that drove you on?
- Pink Ink said...
There have been times I have said to myself, I'm just going to peek and see what the first line is like. Some books suck me right in from the get-go, and it's always an amazing experience.
I'd love to have that same effect with MY stories.
When I tuck in my kids in bed, I check out the first lines of their books to see if I could learn something. Esp. kids books, the beginning paragraphs have to be compelling!
- Alexander Field said...
Dragon King, yeah I hear you. Publishing these days is more competitive than ever before. My thought is, it is my job as a writer to remove every hurdle for agents, publishers, AND readers - why not! I want the reading experience to be the best it can be. And I agree with you, if you're going to use a prologue, make it part of the hook...right?
PinkInk, that's so true isn't it! Kids have such short attention spans - what a great idea. And yes, I always admire the writer who can very quickly pull me into a story, just like that. That's a rare talent, and a joy to read!
- Samuel D. Smith said...
This is a great post, and it makes me very scared.
I like the idea of the free first sentence, the chance to do something different, even poetic. I think what's most important is what comes right after that.
Also, I wake up in cold sweats over the beginning to my novel.
Not really. But kind of. Thanks for bringing back the trauma, Alexander.
- Samuel D. Smith said...
I forgot two things:
1. I think your point about deliberation is key. Does that have to do with pacing? I don't like it when a book is just so crazy at first that it has an unnatural pacing. But I worry that my novel doesn't have enough "spice" except for an interesting opening scene (in the prologue) and then as the book begins to climax in the last third.
2. I love the new blog look.
- Valerie Comer said...
Great new look, Alex!
I ran a workshop last year at Forward Motion on hooks, and all we looked at was the first 250-300 words. That's enough to know whether or not you're intrigued or not. Or read some of the opening page contests some of the agents run on their blogs from time to time.
My eyes glaze over pretty quick on most of the entries. Then I get to try to apply what I've learned in my own writing, and grabbing the reader in the first couple of paragraphs is hard to do
Really hard.
- Keanan Brand said...
A few years ago, at a local writing retreat, a friend and I hosted a mini-session and a contest, both called "Hooks, Lines, and Sinkers". The hooks part is obvious, but the lines part concerned dialogue, and the sinkers concerned clunky writing or overwriting.
The contest entries were hysterical; the winner of the "sinkers" was a page-long run-on sentence that told an entire story.
But I digress. This is supposed to be about hooks.
A couple of my favorite books open simply: "A horse, he came to understand, was missing" (The Last Light of the Sun by Guy Gavriel Kay), and "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit" (does this one even need a citation?). Both are fantasy, both are adventures, but they are vastly different in style and in content. Both sucked me in to the story.
In journalism, I was taught to never open an article -- even an interview -- with dialogue, a rule I was known to break; in a story, however, it works i.e. "On a post. In a pond," the seemingly bland opening line of Blaggard's Moon by George Bryan Polivka (which I'm reading for the upcoming CSFF Blog Tour -- good story), which describes an uncomfortable and ultimately deadly form of pirate punishment.
One of my favorite books, Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, opens with a line that must have seemed intriguing when I was ten but now makes me wonder why I kept reading: "When I left my office that beautiful spring day, I had no idea what was in store for me."
In The Westmark Trilogy by Lloyd Alexander -- an awesome writer of childrens' literature -- each book opens with an interesting hook:
1. "Theo, by occupation, was a devil" -- Westmark.
2. "Spring in the Carla River valley was a matter of opinion" -- The Kestrel.
3. "King Constantine IX of Regia had been killed three times and was bored with it" -- The Beggar Queen.
If the hook is whiz-bang, then the rest of the story should live up to its opening line (or be better than that line, as in the case of Where the Red Fern Grows), lest the reader be disappointed and not finish the book.
As a writer, one of my greatest fears is follow-through: Can I live up to my own greatness? (laugh) I can set up an intriguing scenario, but can I maintain it? Can I go the distance? My files and notebooks are full of good ideas and interesting lines that lead absolutely nowhere.
- Keanan Brand said...
I forgot to add this opening line from The Meaning of Night by Michael Cox: "After killing the red-haired man, I took myself off to Quinn's for an oyster supper." The book starts near the end of the story, then travels backward, but the twisty storytelling is excellent, one of the best books I've ever read; a modern novel written like an homage to the great novels of a century or two ago.
- Kerani said...
For this reader, if I'm not hooked in the first page to page-and-a-half, I don't finish the book. I have had my attention peeter out at about 50 pages, but that was when I quit reading - I actually lost interest long before.
And I have had anticipation, what-on-earth-will-happen-next?!!!?! drag me on to finish a book even when I've been v. underwhelmed by style, characterization, etc.
For this writer, it's hard. I want to set up the story and lay out the scene, instead of just going ahead and telling the story.
A bit of advice that I've heard is to write out the story, and then cut out the first fourth/chapter/three pages, so as to start as deep into the story as one could go. I'd be interested to know if other people have tried this, and if it's worked for them.
- Alexander Field said...
Keanan, I too have heard some of the maxims of the 'lead' in journalism. Funny how these rules get passed around like scripture. And what a great idea to check out some first lines in favorite books! Here are FIVE from randomly selected books on my shelf:
1. "I saw something. I saw something out of the corner of my eye."
- Ghost, Alan Lightman
2. "Elantris was beautiful, once."
- Elantris, Brandon Sanderson
3. The night before he went to London, Richard Mayhew was not enjoying himself."
- Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman
4. "Maman died today."
- The Stranger, Albert Camus
5. "'We are both busy people, so let's cut the small talk.'"
- Number 9 Dream, David Mitchell
Wow, they all seem to be rather short, poignant hooky lines, don't you think?
Kerani, you make another good point. If a writer can play the hook for all its worth, it almost doesn't matter if his or her style or writing isn't top shelf...so really, mastering the hook (throughout, not just in the first line) might actually be more important that gorgeous prose. Good observation!
- Alexander Field said...
Hey Sam, thanks for coming by. Sorry about the night sweats and trauma! As for the pacing question, I have the same issues with my novel in progress. I guess I'll be cutting something or adding in some new conflict to stir the pot!
Valerie, I'll have to check out some of the opening page contests. 250-300 pages is about a page of copy - but that's a great idea. Maybe we should run an opening line contest, easier to write, fun to play around with and should be fairly easy to judge...and learn from! : )
- Valerie Comer said...
The gal who co-facilitated the workshop with me wasn't convinced at first that under 300 words was a large enough segment. We ran six recent novels in various genres through Nancy Kress's criteria in *Beginnings, Middles, and Ends* to get the participants warmed up. Then they posted their own and we applied the criteria to them. We all learned a lot. Notably, how important it is to start out strong.
Funny, we called ours Hook, Line and Sinker also, because we were looking at more than the first line.
- Eve said...
I think the first 5 pages is essential. (at least to me as a reader).
That being said, I wonder how my book measures up. It's hard to have a good perspective when you're the one writing it.
- Alexander Field said...
Valerie, that's impressive that you've led a workshop on this topic...and yes, I've read Beginnings Middles and Ends, in college, great book! Very practical.
Eve, I agree. It's always hard to judge your own writing...especially when some days it reads like the next bestseller, and other days it reads horribly, like the worst drivel on the rack! I can easily swivel between those two poles!
- Cami Checketts said...
I make my ten-year old give every book fifty pages, but I rarely follow that rule myself!
I've read and re-read Noah Lukeman's book, but I agree with Eve, it's tough to judge your own work. Thank heavens for ruthless critique partners.
Thanks for the great post,

Through exhibits that explore everything from astronomy and physics to biology and paleontology, the Science Factory inspires a lifelong love of science in children as well as adults. Above all else, the nonprofit embraces a motto of "please touch," creating safe, engaging opportunities for children to act on their curiosity and gain insight into the principles underlying scientific and technological theories.
The Exploration Dome exemplifies the immersive nature of the Museum, surrounding audiences with a full-dome screen that displays digital and live-action films. These educational features can take guests to virtually any location in the world and beyond, including the heart of the Borneo rainforest, the depths of prehistoric oceans, the edge of our galaxy's super-massive black hole, and a universe where popcorn kernels never get stuck in your teeth. Permanent exhibits—including a feature on responsible recycling as well as a terrarium of lizards, frogs, and plants, complete with Renegade, the Museum's resident iguana—explore topics in more depth, complementing both the Exploration Dome's videos and an ever-changing roster of special attractions.
David Minor Theater's two large projection screens broadcast new releases, classics, and cult films, but there's just as much appeal happening off-screen. One example: the front row of Theater One, where a long spread of plush couches stands in for typical movie seats. Then, of course, there's The Livingroom Theater, an aptly named 16-person screening room outfitted with recliners, couches, and state-of-the-art sound.
Other creature comforts abound. The theater serves apps and entrees from local restaurants such as Café Lucky Noodle, The Jackalope Lounge, and Granary Pizza, not to mention local and seasonal beers from Ninkasi and Hop Valley, all of which guests can enjoy inside the theater during the show. Moveable tables at the end of the aisles also make eating or folding laundry during films a breeze. Moviegoers can even text their food or drink order to a special number and have it brought to them so they don't miss any of the film.
At Firs Bowl Lanes, brightly colored house bowling balls glide down 24 synthetic and wood lanes as automatic scoring systems prevent exaggeration-prone players from claiming to have bowled a 3,000. Anchoring the bowling center's concourse, these lanes attract both league and open bowlers, who frequent special weekend events such as Friday Family Night and the neon-lit Kosmic Bowl. The center's amenities include bumper lanes, a lottery, video games, and a diner-style snack bar where guests sit on low-slung barstools while enjoying food, beer, and other beverages.
Among the forests and hills of the Willamette Valley, Highway 58 Golf Range fills with the staccato pops of launching golf balls as golfers there practice every aspect of the game. Guests tee their range balls up year-round on either natural-grass tees or covered mats, sending the balls soaring toward Mount Pisgah in the distance. A short-game area allows for focused practice of near-green finesse, complete with a putting green, a chipping area, and a bunker where golfers perfect saves and practice guessing how many grains of sand are in a jar to win it.
After suffering from a back injury, former dancer and athletic fitness guru Elise Moore discovered Pilates during her rehabilitation. Her love for the exercise form continued to flourish even after she felt better, inspiring her to open her own studio where she could put her Pilates certification and 20-plus years in the fitness industry to good use leading group mat and reformer classes.
Sweet Cheeks Winery, composed of a 65-acre estate vineyard and 140 acres of sloping hills, churns out pinot noir, pinot gris, chardonnay, and riesling. The Executive Wine Tasting gives guests the chance to fill their face pouches with up to 14 flights of Sweet Cheeks' full lineup, including all exclusive bottles not released to the general public. Like a blazing barrel of apples, the 2009 Reserve Pinot Gris smells of fruit and has a hint of smoke, while the 2009 Vintage Riesling gives off subtle undertones of honeysuckle paired with the sweet flavors of apricot and peach. The 2009 Rosy Cheeks is a cuvee of tempranillo, pinot noir, and pinot gris, all blended and fermented together until they sprout a beautiful bouquet of strawberries and tickle the tongue with flavory tingles. A cheese board of Oregon artisan cheeses, maple-herb roasted nuts, and crackers is provided to complement Sweet Cheeks' wine; guests may also bring their own picnic basket of goodies and iPods to complete the experience. Sample fine wines from the 7,000 sq. ft. patio that overlooks the vineyard and the gentle, sloping hillside leading down into Briggs Hill Valley.
A comprehensive guide to attractions and things to do.

I am fortunate to have one of the best jobs in the world. I not only work in the Tower of London, but I have the privilege of living within its walls, along with my family. To live in a palace in the centre of London is really special, and something that most visitors find hard to believe until you actually point out your property. There are more than 900 years of history that the Tower of London has produced and even as a Guardian at the Tower I learn new things every day. Historic Royal Palaces is an organisation that I am proud to be part of and in my spare time I enjoy exploring our other palaces, such as Hampton Court and Kensington Palace to learn all about their fascinating history.

Barton first on Warnock's teamsheet
QPR manager Neil Warnock says Joey Barton will be the first name on the teamsheet and believes his experience can help the west Londoners flourish.
The 28-year-old became the first signing after Tony Fernandes' recent takeover of the club, penning a four-year deal at Loftus Road two weeks ago.
Barton was in the final year of his contract at St James' Park and was made available for a free transfer after criticising the club's recruitment policy via his Twitter account.
Warnock admits Barton's signature was quite a coup for QPR, who could hand the midfielder his debut against the Tynesiders on Monday evening.
"It is just great to have him on board," he said.
"Whoever we're playing he will be the first on the sheet and I am sure he would want it to be like that.
"We have got a lot of players to fit in and we haven't started yet.
"We've had people out on international duty so we've had a lot of work to do but it is an exciting time.
"The players that have come in, most of them have experience at the top level and that is what I thought we lacked.
"I thought we lacked a bit of nous higher up and that is why I am delighted to have got the players I've got in.
"It wouldn't have been possible without the chairman and (vice-chairman) Amit Bhatia.
"They have both been so supportive, it is fantastic."
As well as Barton, Warnock managed to bring in five other players after Fernandes' takeover - Anton Ferdinand, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Jason Puncheon, Armand Traore and Luke Young.
The new signings will all be vying to make their debut on Monday and Warnock declared himself pleased with his last-minute deals, despite missing out on a few signings.
"We missed out on Craig [Bellamy] but in fairness to Craig he rang me at midnight and thanked me for my interest.
"It was a thing that I knew right from day one that if David N'Gog went from Liverpool, he would be going there.
"I've always liked Craig and when that didn't happen, we took a last minute gamble on Puncheon.
"It is not really a gamble, we've only got him until January so it just gives somebody else an opportunity.
"Somebody who was desperate to come. He was that desperate I didn't even know he was here until Sky Sports News picked it up. I thought it was funny that."
He added: "After the Bolton game, [Fernandes] said 'what about Scott Parker?' and I said yeah and fobbed it off really.
"It was 24 hours later when I realised he was probably serious and we made a substantial offer for Scott, but I think in the circumstances I always knew that Tottenham would have him if they came in.
"But it showed me what quality was. When he asked me for number of players, Joey Barton was top of my list before Scott.
"I had a list of midfield players and other areas, full-backs in particular.
"I gave them the list and he told me to go and get them and it was just fantastic.
"I felt sorry for the chief exec Phil Beard, who had only come on the scene that week.
"He must've wondered what hit him to be all of a sudden involved in a deadline where we are trying to sign five or six players.
"It was chaotic but I don't think we could have done much better in what we did."

Sequence question
Given the sequence
find k
I found the answer as 291, through a tedious guess and check method, but I'd like someone to explain in simpler terms how to find k.

Re: Sequence question
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
I have the result, but I do not yet know how to get it.
All physicists, and a good many quite respectable mathematicians are contemptuous about proof.

You could find the quadratic. However, another way is to realize that , which, after solving, gives
