Mauk takes charge
Spire changes format; gains an editor
The Everyman Players will present 'The Book of Job' at
Bethel Friday, October 17.
by Marjorie Rusche
Marty Mauk, sophomore, is this
year's editor of the Spire. Marty
comes to Bethel from Des Moines,
Iowa. He plans on pursuing a history
Marty was a sports announcer
for WBCS last year, participated
in Intramurals last year and this
year. His interest in the Spire
developed through working on it
as a staff member last year.
The Communications Board has
screened Marty for the position,
and will be working with him
throughout the year.
What got Marty excited about
being editor is the change in the
format of the yearbook. This year,
the Spire will deal with one basic
Orlin and Irene Corney will bring
two productions of religious thea-ter
into the Twin Cities next week-end.
The two famous theater di-rectors,
designers and writers have
brought their Everyman Players
out of Pineville, Kentucky, for the
third national tour. "The Book of
Job" which began this enterprize
in 1956, and the later "The Romans
According to Saint Paul" will both
appear in the area.
The company will present "The
Book of Job" at a special convoca-tion
on October 17 at 8 p.m. in
the college fieldhouse. Admission
is free if you bring and present a
Bethel I.D. card. Tickets for the
general public will be sold at the

English of the Authorized
version is the language spoken in
a triumph of choral drama.
The two plays are evolutionary
works. In 1956 the Baptist Churches
in England asked Corey, who was
then Theater Director in George-town
College in Kentucky, to tour
a theater production. He began to
search for material and eventually
chose the original language of the

earliest book of the Bible. He re-arranged
it to make an effective
stage statement and then followed

theme, "What is the 'soul' of Beth-el?"
The social, academic, and spir-itual
life of Bethel students will
be investigated.
There won't be any more mug
shots, group shots or organizations
and athletic teams, faculty or ad-ministration.
All these aspects of
college life will be included, but
the photography will be more can-did
and personal. Senior pictures,
however, will probably be retained.
Marty emphasizes, "We are try-ing
to get away from students
flipping through the yearbook and
looking for their own picture or
pictures as a couple of pages in
their own life; instead, we want
students to look at the yearbook as
a book that combines the individu-
The play uses the earliest form
of drama, the Greek Chorus, as
the friends of Job oppose him in
unison and the women support him
in chorus. It is recitative without a
score. The voices speak, moan,
chant, whisper, and groan as the
terrible trials of Job follow the
debate between Satan and God
over Job's virtue.
More than one hundred tableaux
developed out of the writing and
then Irene Corey took over. The
Byzantines had wanted to picture
God as they knew the story, but in
a way that was larger than life.
Irene Corey saw that parallel and
designed the costumes in Byzantine
style with wigs, costumes, gloves
and shoes all a part of the jewelled
and glass mosaics which have in-spired
audiences so much. With
lights and makup, no scenery is
needed. The mosiac structure and
the stark chorus responses make
Corey's point.
The first performance of "The
Book of Job" was in the college
chapel at Georgetown. The re-sponse
was overwhelming and it
predated the Archibald MacLeish
"J.B." on Broadway by a year.
Many critics have suggested a dou-ble
bill of the Coreys' play and
In 1957 the opening was followed
by tours of churches in Kentucky,
then to the General Association of
Kentucky Baptists in 1958, televi-sion
in Louisville and a Canadian
performance on the way to Eu-al's
own life with the life of Beth-el."
Students are encouraged to turn
in any candid shots they may
have. Marty also plans on using
material from graphic classes, cre-ative
and journalistic writing from
some of the Coeval and Clarion
"The staff for the Spire will be
open to new ideas because we are
completely throwing away the old
format of the yearbook and de-veloping
a new one," Marty states.
"So if you have any suggestions,
or want to work on the yearbook,
come to the staff meeting Thurs-day,
October 16, at 7 p.m. in the
coffee shop."
According to present plans the
Spire will come out in the spring.
rope. The International Protestant
Commission asked that it be the
final religious feature of United
States Week at the Brussel's World
In the fall of the year the Southern
Governor's Conference saw
what was to have been the final
production in a precedent break-ing
performance for that group.
But the success there received too
much publicity and the play has
never stopped.
In 1959 "The Book of Job" open-ed
in The Cathedral of the Hills
at Pineville, Kentucky, where it has
played each summer since. It was
supposed to fail, according to ex-perience,
but instead it has played
to visitors of everyone of the 50
states and many European nations.
It played for three consecutive
seasons in New York, made three
European tours and is now on its
third American tour.
The play and its purpose are
designed from ancient language
and a 3,000 year old story in the
midst of modern questions about
magnitude in theatrical terms. Cor-ey
believes that in this age of
answers by knowledge, there re-mains
a question which traces an
arch back to God, and his play is
motivated in that way.
The Coreys are people of com-mitment
to a responsible theater
of values for man, and are promi-nently
identified with religious
drama and children's theater in
America and abroad.
News of the plans for interim
have finally been released. At the
faculty meeting October 2, faculty
members approved the list of
courses recommended by the Interim
Committee report, and final-ized
general financial, housing and
curriculum arrangements.
Interim will run from January
The student who is enrolled in
both semesters at Bethel, will be
charged no extra for the interim
course or for housing during that
time. Those who are attending or
will attend only one semester, will
be required to pay half of the
normal charge for a three credit
course—$93.75. One semester stu-dents
will also be charged $22.50
for room and board if they decide
to stay on campus. The half charge
policy was decided upon in view
of the fact that the cost of interim
is being drawn from the two sem-ester
Working students who are not
taking an interim course, but wish
to stay in campus housing, will be
charged the normal cost of room
and board for this period. Stu-dents
who are neither working nor
taking an interim course will not
be permitted to remain on campus.
An attempt to house commuting
students who wish to live on cam-pus
during the interim will also
be made.
The wish on the part of Interim
Committee is to create unity of
spirit, a total experience by pro-viding
for spiritual and recreation-al
needs of the students as well
as the academic.
According to the Interim Committee
chairman Philip Carlson,
students should plan to spend 6-8
hours per day on their interim
course. The exact amount of time
will depend upon the instructor
and the nature of the course. In
most cases however, evenings will

Interim courses will each be
worth three credits and will be
evaluated on the pass/fail basis.
None of the courses offered in the
regular semester curriculum will
be duplicated during interim. De-partments
will be deciding in the
near future how they plan to ca-tegorize
the interim course.
With the exception of the Israel
tour, there will be no travel tours.
The committee felt that in view of
the short amount of time available
for organizing such tours it would
be better to disallow them this
first year. The trip to Israel is
being planned by a national group
and arrangements have already
been made. Future travel tours will
probably be included in the interim

Debate opener viewed a success

Upon making a careful scrutiny of the results of a recent Harris
Survey, we find some very interesting insights into racism. The results
of this survey are further substantiation of other public opinion and
sociological surveys of the last year.
The White American has an amazing capacity for overlooking or
sidestepping reality. In response to the question, "Do you feel that
Negroes are discriminated against in the way they are treated?", whites
responded 35% yes, 54% no. In contrast, the black response was 77%
yes, 15% no. Obviously, a good number of the white population have a
very large blindspot.
The white response, however, was quite lopsided and stratified.
By age groups, whites under 30 said yes in 56% of their responses, while
those over 50 answered yes only 28% of the time. College graduates
also varied with those with lesser education: 54% yes as compared to
24% yes, respectively.
It is extremely difficult to believe that so many whites are capable
of denying the existence of discrimination.
Take a trip to the deep South. See the pitiful condition of the
black school systems. Sit in one of the overwhelming number of
restaurants that ignore, without technically "discriminating." Walk
down a city street on a hot evening and see the blacks sitting around,
on "their" side of the street. Hear the repeated slur, "Bay" slip from
arrogant white lips.
Or if the South isn't for you, go north and see what ghetto housing is
in Harlem, Watts, Hough. Talk to a talented black musician who
is the choir director of a large Methodist church, though he is not
permitted membership. Get to know a brilliant young engineer who has
been forced into menial labor because he is black.
In the stratification of the white response, Mr. Harris sees hope
for the rise of a "New Coalition" of civil rights forces. The groups
most sympathetic to the cause of racial equality are the fastest growing
in our population — those under 30 and the college-educated. Combined
with the black vote and other minorities this coalition should be a
majority of the electorate by 1972.
This presents a problem to Richard Nixon and Attorney General
Mitchell's strategy. The conservative elements that they are catering
to are a shrinking portion of the voting population. Either Mr. Nixon
must change his position or face a difficult re-election bid. One way or
another, things must change.

Change seen inevitable
Almost everything that can be said about the war in Vietnam has
already been said. Being against it is now becoming popular. For
those who have been involved against it for some time, it's a little
The fact that the stigma of this protest is lessening is a victory,
but in the victory, there is a sense of defeat as one recalls the irreparable
damage done to some individuals in the change of public opinion.
The sense of defeat lies in the realization that this victory for
change is only one battle won — the realization that there lies ahead
many unpopular causes which will in time be "the thing to do."
It seems that after experiencing one such reversal of opinion as
has taken place concerning the war in Vietnam that people would
approach change with less emotionalism and more rational thinking.
Much as most people hate to admit it, change is the very essense
of being alive. Something which remains always the same, soon be-comes
stagnant and meaningless. Even things which seemingly never
change, such as Christmas or Thanksgiving, change in the minds of
the participant and thus retain their usefulness.
That the physical world is continually changing, one cannot deny.
In order to continue to relate to it, attitudes must change also. As
the rate of change continues to increase, so must the rate at which
attitudes change.
Educated individuals, especially, should understand this principle.
Change is inevitable. Christian individuals should continually evaluate
the present and anticipate the change so that in fighting for an un-shakeable
principle, they do not find themselves defending a mere
cultural ethnocentrism which is irrelevant, or even contrary, to their
relationship with God.

Live your humanity to the fullest! Bethel athletics

To the editor:
To the editor:
Tradition says that there is a
"battle royal" raging within my
soul. It tells me that I am both the
host of tremendous struggle be-tween
the supernatural, the super-latives
of morality, and that my
eternal destiny may well be deter-mined
by the outcome.
Actually, this "battle royal" is
usually no more than a few border-line
skermishes. Yet there is a
struggle of a different n a t u r e,
which does exist in every person.
Like the traditional view, it in-volves
my eternity, but it is that
part of my eternal life in Christ
that I live right here in earth.
It seems as though there is an
ever-present obsession for people
to develope a style of life which
has been firmly anchored in the
middle of the road. Everyone is
looking for the easy way out, or in,
as the case may be. How many peo-ple
do you know whose ultimate
goal in life is to find a nook where
they are cozy, content, and com-fortable?
There is one dominating princi-ple
involved in this type of life—
"Don't do it, think it, or feel it,
unless it's convenient." This is the
secret for the "well-adjusted life"!
If it puts you out in any way, for-get
it. If it makes you hurt a little
or puts you on that limb, junk it.
For me, this life of comfort would
not be so undesirable if it didn't
involve the sacrifices which must
accompany it. For a life in the mid-dle
does demand that you forfeit
certain things.
First to insure that you aren't in
anyway influenced by any out-lying
forces which may cause you to wan-der
to one side or the other, you
must narrow your field of vision.
You must cut your scope to the
point where all you can see is that
white-dotted line shraight ahead.
This makes you blind to the beg-gar
lying in the roadside. Were
you to stop and dig down under
those rags, you'd be shocked to
discover that the beggar resembled
a hundred different people who
had shown you need you refused to
see, needs you may have met by
taking five "inconvenient" minutes
of your time.
But life in the middle can also
dull other senses. And soon a
deafening cry for help is filtered
through a strong and polished
mess of rationale, and all you
perceive is a faint and distant
But the biggest price we pay for
walking this road is that we lose
that intensity and deep feeling for
life that comes only when we ex-pend
ourselves. We must dare to
care, no matter what the cost. We
can choose to begin or end once
every moment.
As Christians, this should be a
lifetime of continual beginnings in
which we, hand in hand with Christ
can experience a new dynamic type
of living. This life style gives me
a freedom I could otherwise never
experience, a "more abundant life."
I don't have to get hung up on
my guilt, because that moment of
failure was followed by another
moment, one in which Christ and I
can start again where we left off.
And I don't have to be afraid of
things "of this world." To para-phrase
Ted Weis, I can listen to,
look at, and experience a lot of
different things. If they're wrong,
Christ will let me know. But in
either case, right or wrong, I can
learn, and this will make me a
stronger Christian, because Christ
and I have a moving and function-ing
relationship. Newness and
change are no longer threatening
to my faith.
In the middle of the road, no
matter how straight and narrow it
may be, all I see is white on black.
All I hear are my own shuffling
feet. All I feel is my own hunger,
thirst, and incapacitating fear of
Christ saw, Christ listened, Christ
felt. Christ lived his humanity to
the fullest.
If you're afraid to try living
Christ in this way, I hope you enjoy
walking down very long, narrow,
and "super" straight highways.
Barry Anderson
In reference to Mr. Weko's re-marks,
as expressed in The Column
of October 3, be pleased to accept
the reactions of one interested on-looker,
to wit:
The essence of Mr. W e k o's
thought concerning Bethel football
is indisputable and, by the way,
quite commendable. There is, as he
emphatically suggests, no room for
indiscriminate criticism of either
the football team, or athletics in
general. There is, on the other
hand, as he apparently overlooks,
a definite place for intelligent an-alyzation
of the situation.
The football team deserves sup-port,
if for no other reason than
the work which each player puts
in. It is obvious, though, that sup-port
will not be rendered on this
ground alone .The why's and where-fore's
are many.
Consider this year's schedule.
To be sure, it is desirable to play
such teams as Macalaster, Hamline,
Morris, et al.; Bethel has had, and
possibly will have teams that can
compete comparably with the
schools mentioned. Until such time,
however, let us approach the mat-ter
While not advocating the deli-berate
scheduling of "pushovers,"
this observer would like to see a
more realistic asessment of the
team's potential before contracting
teams that are obviously out of
Bethel's class. Granted, schedules
are made in advance. But so are
good football teams.
This leads to the problem of
numbers and although bodies do
not make a successful football
team, they certainly constitute a
good start. Why don't prospective
athletes get excited about playing
football for Bethel? Why is it be-coming
increasingly difficult even
to field a team?
The most obvious answer to these
questions is yet another: Who
wants to play for a loser? But the
problem is much deeper and would
at this point seem to parallel Mr.
Weko's arguments. Who wants to
play for a school which, for the
most part, doesn't seem to care one
way or another whether it has a
team or not?
But while Mr. Weko would blind-ly
argue for continuation of the
football program under the con-ditions
that exist, this observer
would venture a cautious opinion.
If winless seasons, lack of players,
and student unconcern continue,
perhaps Bethel would be better off
without football. Such would be a
most unfortunate occurrence, but,
to steal a phrase tram Keith Te-kautz:
"Get on the ball or get on
the bus."

Guys and girls habits differ
Bethel community plans Fed. court rules
Moratorium activities right of counsel
by Arne Bergstrom
Plans for activities for October
15th Vietnam Moratorium are well
under way at Bethel. A committee
of concerned students are meeting
Saturday to finalize the plans. The
committee is composed of students
from several different areas of in-terest
on campus. Activities are
planned throughout the metropoli-tan
area as well as at Bethel.
A special chapel service is plan-ned
to give students a concern for
peace and a view of the Christian's
response to the world today. The
speaker for the service will be Dr.
Philip Hinerman of Park Avenue
Methodist Church in Minneapolis.
An emphasis on prayer and medita-tion
for peace and Vietnam will
follow the service. Small groups
are urged to gather informally for
prayer and meditation around cam-pus.
An academic study of the Viet-nam
situation will be held starting
at 1:30 p.m. A teach-in for the pur-pose
of studying the history of
Southeast Asia and how it relates
to the current problems will initi-ate
the activities. Members of the
political science department will
conduct the teach-in.
A symposium for the purpose
of inter-action between the two
sides on ideas in question will also
be held. It is planned as an op-portunity
for those of differing
views to interact on a more for-mal,
academic level. It will not be
a place for emotional attacks on
opposing sides, but a chance for
the differing sides to sit down to-gether
for discussion.
The purpose of the afternoon
moratorium activities at Bethel is
to make us as Christians more
aware of situations present in the
world today. It is necessary to
realize not only the oneness in
Jesus, but also that individuals are
uniquely different and are no less
human because of it. The accept-ance
of this uniqueness is the ba-sis
for the understanding which is
necessary in the discussing of dif-fering
The evening's activities include
a rally at the Macalester Field-house.
The rally begins at 7:30
p.m. with Julian Bond, State Legis-lator
from Georgia, and Walter
Mondale, US Senator from Minne-sota,
as the main speakers. Bus
service is presently being planned
to bring participating students back
to the college. More specific infor-mation
as to bus transportation
will be posted around the campus
and in the Daily Calendar.
Activities for those who are more
politically inclined have been plan-ned
by the Minnesota New Mo-bilization
Committee. There will
be a 9 a.m. rally at the University
of Minnesota, at 10 a.m. a march
to the Federal Building, and sev-eral
afternoon teach-ins at the
University of Minnesota. Informa-tion
on further developments will
also be posted around the campus.
Students and faculty are urged
to become involved in the activi-ties
even if just to become more
informed on the whole question
and its relationship to the Chris-tian
(CPS)—The San Francisco Fe-deral
court has handed down a
draft decision that could signifi-cantly
disrupt draft procedure
while freeing a number of present
1-Aers from induction.
Judge Robert I. Peckham ruled
this week that universally enforced
regulation that prevents draft re-gistrants
from being accompanied
by legal counsel when summoned
before a local draft board is in-valid
and "constitutionally suspect."
Judge Peckham was the magis-trate
who ruled earlier this year
that members of draft boards must
be residents of the area from which
they send men.
Those men who have appeared
before draft boards, usually on
summons for being delinquent in
registration, and who have stood
mute or requested the assistance
of an attorney or counsel have nor-mally
been held in contempt and
clasified 1-A. Their classifications
are now invalid and most draft
boards will probably simply ignore
them rather than submitting to the
legal rigamaroll necessary to
change the person's classification
or validate the 1-A status.
Judge Peckham clearly ruled
that only Congress can refuse the
right of counsel for any person
being interogated by federal insti-tutions
and that no legal delegation
of this power had ever been grant-ed
by the President (and through
him local draft boards). Besides,
Peckham continued, such a dele-gation
would be "constitutionally

with them. They both agree, it gets
pretty lonesome, especially when
at least ten of the guys joined them

Rumor has it .. .
. . . that Bob Olson won a bet on the Viking-Packer football game
last Sunday.
. . . that Gordon Nordmark (Second New) has a contract out on
Don Larson (Falcon) in the intramural football showdown this Saturday.
. . . that last year's Twin City Hockey League champions from
Upper Glader hovel moved their franchise to Upper Esther and are
looking for a real challenge from a new team from Lower Shields in
the Sunday morning circuit this winter.
. . . that the music department will get more floor time in the
fieldhouse this coming season than the basketball team will.
.. . that Midway stadium will be packed with Bethel fans Satur-day
afternoon to watch (and cheer) as the Royals avenge last year's
whipping from Jamestown.
.. . that the cross country team has become sick of taking second
place finishes and with some fan support will win their next meet at
home against Stout, Eau Claire and Gustavus.
. .. that a lot of people liked what "The Column" said last week,
but did not apply it to themselves.
Cross country team takes
second place at Como
The soccer team traveled to their
first defeat last Saturday b u t
bounced back with a big win in
their first home game as they
edged their season mark to two
wins and a loss.
It was a long one-game road trip
to Trinity College in Deerfield,
Illinois, where the first setback
came. Both the offence and defence
worked hard, but could not muster
a scoring kick. Meanwhile, Trinity
mounted a 2-0 lead in the first
half and scored an insurance tally
in the last half to walk off the
field with a 3-0 victory.
The game was clean fought and
well played with the home team
having a little more experience
and finesse to have the edge.
Tuesday's game was a complete
turn - around. Bethany Lutheran
Junior College from Mankato pro-vided
the competition, and a brisk
wind provided a problem of ball
control. And it was not a cleanly
fought contest.
Bethel won by a score of 4-3
and though the score was close
throughout the game, the Royals
dominated on offense.
Striking early, Bethel got sev-eral
shots off in the first few
minutes and with only three and
a half minutes gone, Pete Wicklund
took a centering pass and slammed
it in to break the ice.
With the wind advantage in the
first half, Bethel kept the attack

down in the Bethany defensive
zone. However, with the Bethel
halfbacks playing up, Bethany man-aged
to get the ball down into the
attacking zone with only two full-backs
to guard against the advanc-ing
wall of Bethany Vikings. They
knotted the score with 16:30 gone
in the 45 minute first half.
With lots of determination, the
Royals kept working for a goal
and ten minutes after the Bethany
goal, Pete Wicklund rippled the
nets with his second goal. Two
minutes later, Lee Granlund drove
home a shot to boost the lead to

With Bethel fighting the wind,
the second half was a little more
tense. Play seemed more evenly
matched as each team exchanged
scoring threats. Perhaps the big-gest
boost the Bethel offence had
was the play of half-back Tim
Larson. Larson stole the ball sev-eral
times and manuevered his way
upfield until he could feed the
wing. Danny Peterson, the center-half,
also made a great contribution
with his booming kicks.

Several loyal Bethel fans braved
the drizzly weather in Morris, Min-nesota,
Saturday afternoon, to
watch the Royals fall 31-0 to the
University of Minnesota Cougars.
Morris scored 14 points in each of
In the first home meet of the
year for the Royals cross country
team, the harriers took a tough
second place.
On a beautiful, sunny day last
Saturday, the Bethel Royals hosted
Hamline, Gustavus Adolphus, and
Golden Vally, at the home course
in Como Park. It was a great day
for running and a great day for
watching too, though very few
spectators showed up.
All the Royal runners seemed
ready to go, and they nearly pulled
off a victory settling for second
place as Golden Valley took it all.
Golden Valley was first with 47
points, Bethel second with 48,
Hamline third with 49. Gustavus
brought up the rear with 63.
Once again Dwight Carlson
paced the Royals and finished
fourth, over-all, right ahead of up
and coming freshman Mark Ander-son
who took fifth. Next for Bethel
the first two periods to take a 28-0
half-time lead.
Doug Patnode scored two touch-downs
and gained 134 yards in 14
carries to lead the Morris offense.
The Cougars only score in the
second half was a 25 yard field
goal by Ed Salcede.
was Rich Swanson who developed
a side ache on the third lap and
had to settle for twelveth position.
Paul Youngquist and Tom Mesaros
finished right behind Swanson in
the thirteenth and fourteenth spots.
Dave Greener and Bob Downey also
ran to finish out the Royal roster.
Prior to the meet, the Royals
held a practice meet with St. Tho-mas
on Thursday which St. Thomas
won. Anderson, Carlson, and Swan-son
took the top Royal positions
at the time also.
Next week (the remainder of the
season) the Royals will be at home
against Stout State (Wisconsin),
Eau Claire (Wisconsin) and again
against Gustavus Adolphus.
The meet will offer really good
competition, and the race will pro-bably
be pretty exciting. The team
needs fan support badly so if at
all possible, come down to the Co-mo
course at eleven Saturday morn-ing.
Frequent showers during the
game lessened the player's maneu-verability,
but didn't dampen their
spirits. Although the Royals were
actually out of the game by the
end of the first half, they charged
up during the half-time break and
battled Morris to a virtual stand-off
during the second half.
Outstanding players for Bethel
were Murray Sitte, who led the
team in rushing with 68 yards in
13 carries; Fred Swedberg, who
averaged 46 yards per punt; Tom
Swanson, who fired up the defense
during the second half and re-covered
a fumble; and Jim Carl-son,
who made several tackles on
punts and kickoffs. Bob Olson, Bar-ry
Anderson, and Dave Pound also
gave their usual fine efforts.
This week the Royals tune up for
their homcoming contest by tackl-ing
Jamestown, North D a k o t a.
Jamestown has a record of 4-0 go-ing
into the game and is the lead-ing
rushing team in the NAIA. If
the second half of the Morris game
is any indication of what is to
come, the Royals should put up
quite a battle this Saturday.

gift basket put together by City Grit for Williams-Sonoma.
Sarah Simmons, founder and chef of City Grit, is inspiring in many ways. Her creative and entrepreneurial spirit shines through all her work, whether showcasing celebrity chefs' from around the country at her NYC culinary salon, or championing artisan food makers in projects like this great basket.
Also featured in this basket is Three Jerks Jerky. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the "jerks," Daniel Fogelson recently at Cheese Plus' 9th Summer Artisan Food Festival. I got a chance to taste his jerky, and can happily say it's amazing, and worth seeking out. So, if you're looking for something uniquely curated with a dad's taste buds in mind, then I encourage you to head over and order one up.
Speaking of dads, I also wanted to take a moment and introduce you all to my father, Al Manfredi, pictured here rocking the always fashionable SFQ baseball cap. He's been a huge supporter of SFQ and my culinary career from the very beginning, as you can see from this photo below. Those are his arms and feet as I'm about to create something delicious for him.
He enthusiastically spreads the word about SFQ wherever he goes. He's retired now, but taught P.E. and coached Varsity Basketball at Rio Americano High School in Sacramento, CA for over 25 years, so he runs into many former students and colleagues, and makes sure they know all about the sauce and our story.
Along with my mother Peggy (also invaluable to the cause), he makes local deliveries for me, and they both keep me up to date with pictures of our sauce displays on stores shelves around town.
He'd be a great father even without all the extra help he gives, and I wouldn't have found all this love, happiness, and success in San Francisco without him. Thanks Dad! I love you!
A classic American BBQ sauce, lustily elevated with hints of chocolate, coffee and oak-aged wine vinegar. Rich and complex waves of spice and heat appearing and fading into a long, balanced finish.
"...I have no doubt some serious work went into getting the formula just right because no one flavor dominates, the spice and seasonings all meld together beautifully. I couldn't stop dunking my short ribs into this sauce. I'm convinced it would make just about anything taste good."

Breast Cancer Research, Sep 2008
Introduction Despite the fact that people older than 65 years of age have the highest incidence of developing breast cancer, these patients are excluded from clinical trials in most cases. Furthermore, most physicians tend towards therapy regimens without the use of dose-dense, highly active taxane-based treatments because of a lack of data regarding toxicities of these compounds in older patients. Methods Pooled side-effect data were analyzed from four prospective, randomized clinical trials in which patients of different age groups (< 60 years, between 60 and 64 years, and > 64 years) with primary breast cancer received taxane-based chemotherapy. Results Dose delays, dose reductions, hospitalization, and therapy discontinuation increased with age. Hematologic toxicities and some nonhematologic toxicities were generally more common in older patients. Leucopenia increased from 55.3% in patients aged < 60 years to 65.5% in patients aged > 64 years (P < 0.001), and neutropenia increased from 46.9% to 57.4% (P < 0.001). There was no difference, however, in clinically more relevant febrile neutropenia between the different age groups. Thrombopenia shows a similar age-dependent increase, whereas there is no difference between the age groups concerning anemia. Hot flushes and elevated liver enzymes decreased with increasing age. Conclusions The present pooled analysis of a substantial cohort of older primary breast cancer patients demonstrates that taxane-containing (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy is feasible in older patients and that toxicity can be reduced by sequential therapy regimens.

The Story Of A Dress: Jessica Alba's Exclusive Met Ball Diary
When we first got word that Jessica Alba was working with Tory Burch to create a dress for this year's punk-themed Met Ball, we were eager to get a behind-the-scenes look at the experience. Luckily, the Tory Burch team agreed to capture all of the memorable moments--from the first sketches to the final look-- leading up to the big event. We talked to Burch and Alba about the design process, what they love about punk, and more, so keep reading to see details of Alba's fitting and preperation for the red carpet and our exclusive Q&A with Alba and Burch.
Q: How did you collaborate on the dress?
"Tory presented some really beautiful options. We chatted about what materials and silhouettes are most flattering on me, and we put the concepts together."--Jessica Alba
"I found a beautiful laser-cut leather and asked Brad [Goreski, Alba's stylist] about whether it would be a good option for Jessica. They liked the idea, and we then came up with several sketches and she picked the graphic cutout fishtail silhouette."--Tory Burch
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: What excited you most about working with each other?
"I look up to Tory as a businesswoman and designer. She has exquisite taste, and her pieces reflect that."--Jessica Alba
"Jessica is an incredible person and a good friend. In addition to being an actor, she's an entrepreneur and a devoted mother, so we always have a lot to talk about."--Tory Burch
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: Is the laser-cut pattern based on something, or was it designed by the Tory Burch team?
"The laser-cut pattern is a floral design. I love the idea of using a tough material and making it feminine with a floral element."--Tory Burch
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: What about punk culture, music, and fashion inspires you to translate this to your Met Ball gown?
"Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen have always been inspirations of mine (even one of The Honest Company's signature diaper patterns features skulls). My dog is named after Sid Vicious. I love the Sex Pistols and The Pixies. The satirical nature, social commentary, and political issues of the punk movement that are expressed through fashion and music is something that I have always gravitated toward."--Jessica Alba
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: What does punk mean to you?
"It's about the counterculture and a great music scene--my favourite punk bands are The Clash and the Ramones. I love that the music spurred a whole fashion movement that continues to influence designers today."--Tory Burch
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: How do you work punk into your everyday dressing?
"I wouldn't describe my personal style as punk. I like to mix patterns, which has an anarchic quality but it's more bohemian than punk in spirit."--Tory Burch
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: What were your inspirations for hair and makeup for the specific look you're trying to achieve with the dress?
"The dress is very elegant and statuesque, but with and edgy twist. With this year's theme, I felt like I could push the limits and wear a look that is a bit more punk rock."--Jessica Alba
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: If we're not mistaken, this is your fifth Met Ball! What are you most looking forward to about the exhibition?
"The exhibitions are always exquisite. There is nothing better than walking through them during off hours. It almost feels sneaky and punk rock in and of itself. I'm looking forward to seeing everything, watching the performance, and, of course, hanging out with Tory as she is one of my favourites in the business."--Jessica Alba
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: What are you most looking forward to about the exhibition?
"I love fashion, music, and art. I can't wait to see how the exhibit brings it all together. I also love the way street fashion and culture influence design."--Tory Burch
Photo:Noa Griffel
The final touch: a pair of Christian Louboutin platform sandals--perfect for dancing the night away.
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: Was there a specific element of punk that you used as a springboard for the gown?
"Leather is a signature punk material and the cut-outs are a nod to punk's anarchic, deconstructionist spirit. It's a bold, graphic look that's softened by the elegant, feminine silhouette and the laser-cut floral design."--Tory Burch
Photo:Noa Griffel
"With the theme being punk, I was able to collaborate with Jessica and her stylist, Brad Goreski, and makeup artist, Lauren Andersen, on her look in a way that let us "colour outside the lines" so to speak."--Jen Atkin, hairstylist
Photo:Noa Griffel
Q: What inspired this particular silhouette?
"Jessica's dress embodies two different ideas for a design that's bold and graphic but also elegant and very feminine."--Tory Burch
Q: How are you going to pamper yourself the morning after?
"I will be up bright and early celebrating the launch of my enhanced e-book for The Honest Life. Then I get to spend the afternoon hosting an amazing baby shower for a very deserving local NY mum who won Honest's Ultimate Baby Shower contest for her incredible dedication to her community--she created a non-profit that provides much-needed health education and services to Punjabi women."--Jessica Alba

We've forgotten what you have to pay for and what's free. I was reminded of it recently and I thought I do a good deed and remind you in turn. You pay for a motorcycle. The enjoyment of riding it is free. You pay for a meal. The tingle of your taste buds is free. Are you getting my drift?
There was a time when I used to complain about how some websites I liked weren't updated often enough. I mean, they were such good reads that could the author not update it every twenty minutes or so? And then I stopped. As much as I like books, I realised that some of these sites, updated annually as they were, were still free. Whereas I was obliged to pay about a thousand bucks for each book I bought. And I bought a heck of a lot of books. I still do.
There was also a time when I used to tell people to be safer on their bikes by doing this, that and theo other. I stopped doing that as well. I realised that advice was as free as your right to use your life in any way you please.
There was, further, a time when I used to wonder how old I'd get before a manufacturer would launch a motorcycle that I could dream about, and then in rapid order, afford. And then own. And then settle down with. I stopped doing that as well. I guess wobbling around madly in love when I'm sixty will still be good enough. And the bitterness of the wait simply isn't worth the gall.
There was a time, when I used to blog heavily. Don't know why I stopped doing that. And then I realised that I used to be free. Heh heh.

Depending on where you live, a significant percentage of you and/or your family's life could be spent in the car. At times you may even ask yourself why you bought the big fancy house and the little sports car; it should have been the other way around.
Make the most of your travel time by taking some time to organize your car.
2) Flashlight – From late night reading or to find a dropped earring between the seats a flash light is important, even if you wouldn't dream of changing a tire in the night.
3) Trash bin – Keep one in each door so there are no excuses for stray tissues and gum wrappers. Empty the bags each time you pump gas. My favorite type is flat and slides into the door cubby. I've only found them at car washes or gas station gift shops. You could also recycle gallon size resealable bags–just not one you previously used for frozen fish. A shop towel or some paper towels can also keep your auto neat and tidy.
4) Cash – I read somewhere that Jackie Kennedy always kept a dollar zipped in her purse for emergencies. A dollar won't go far these days, so I recommend a $10, two $5, and five $1 bills in your glove box or center console. If you spend it be sure to put it back, and don't ever let your children or husband see where you hide it.
5) Girl Stuff – Why is it that bad things come in multiples? It's rare for me to have just one thing go wrong in a day. If I'm going to split my pants, pop a button, chip a nail or have an early visit from my monthly visitor, it's all going to happen at once. The Working Girl Survival Kit contains 22 health and beauty essentials including stain remover, a mending kit, an emery board, and even feminine hygiene products, all in a compact aluminum case. You can also make your own kit by filling a Jane Marvel Pouch or document size Barcelona Bag.
6) Emergency Repair Stuff – It's not that I can't change a tire or jump start a dead battery, it's that after working full-time and parenting a baby and two teenagers I'm tired. Just dialing roadside assistance from my mobile phone seems like a lot of work. Nonetheless I keep jumper cables and a tire iron, but only in case I find a cute nice stranger to assist me.
7) Snacks – Break the fast food habit by keeping a few travel friendly snacks in your car. A bag of nuts, an energy bar (pick a type that won't melt), or some trail mix will keep you from chewing your arm off or worse– eating junk food. If you have kids, a few juice boxes can also come in handy.
8) Office Supplies – I'm not suggesting you prepare the TPS report during your morning commute, but there are some occasions when you could use a few office supplies on the road. Kill time waiting for a meeting or appointment by getting some work out of the way. A quick thank-you note to a client. Pay some bills. It's amazing what you can accomplish with some basic supplies like envelopes, a few stamps, two pens, a pencil, a sharpener, a highlighter, sticky notes, paper clips and a note card or two. In the electronic age it's nice to send a handwritten note, and the only time I have for that is when I'm stuck in a doctor's waiting room for several hours.
9) Trunk Organization – How do you keep all this stuff from rolling around your trunk with every stop? If you have a trunk, use a sturdy cardboard box to contain all your supplies.

Our blog fairy is back from sabbatical and ready to tell you a little mood board story:
I think some names get a bad rap – for instance "Ochre". It really doesn't stir the imagination – or does it? Ochre is often seen as the plain one, not hanging with the popular colours like Teal or Pink, but just waiting to be recognised for her own worth. Well, Dulux have chosen Ochre as the Colour for 2016!! And this could be why – she is so versatile and earthy. Throw her in with neutrals like grey, black or white and she shines. She tones beautifully with brown or green. She helps others shine – see how classy Teal, Turquoise or Sky Blue and even Orange look when she's with them. When you pair her with Purple, she takes on a golden glow. Maybe we should have called her Honey and she would have been hanging with the popular colours, but she remains down to earth and natural.
Here is an example of Ochre with Beige (yet another bleh name) and yet they team well in a monochromatic layout and make the photo the feature.
Why not try Ochre today and see what she can do for your next craft project.
Check out our Ochre products featured in the mood board above:

MIDDLEBURY — Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) has secured a combined total of more than $710,000 through two grants to help propel its proposed $4.2 million Middlebury headquarters closer to reality.
James Moulton, ACTR executive director, confirmed the two grants during an interview with the Addison Independenton Thursday.
BRISTOL — Rep. Dave Sharpe, Bristol-D, told the Bristol selectboard on Monday that the town might end up saving more than $100,000 on the South Street Bridge replacement project, slated for 2013.
He explained a section in the Transportation Bill passed by the Vermont House last week, which would require towns to pay only 5 percent of the total cost of a bridge replacement project — instead of the usual 10 percent — with the state picking up the balance.

BRISTOL — Local lawmakers on Monday hailed the Vermont House's passage last week of proposed fiscal year 2013 General Fund and transportation budgets, spending plans they said would maintain key services for Vermonters while beefing up repairs to the Vermont's roads and bridges.
The $5.01 billion state budget reflects a 6.4 percent hike in spending but will not require any increase in broad-based taxes, Rep. Willem Jewett said at the Legislative Breakfast in Bristol. The Ripton Democrat serves as assistant majority leader of the House.
MIDDLEBURY — The Rolling Acres, Buttolph Drive, Butternut Ridge and South Street neighborhoods of Middlebury will resonate with construction activity this spring and summer as the town will initiate a combined total of almost $6 million in infrastructure improvements to those areas.
The most dramatic work will occur on South Street, which is slated for a $3.5 million makeover that will span two construction seasons, according to Middlebury Director of Operations Dan Werner.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County Transit Resources officials this spring will roll out a public campaign to raise up to $700,000 to round out the financing of a new $4.2 million transportation headquarters in Middlebury that could be built by early 2013.
MIDDLEBURY — Vermont Agency of Transportation officials plan to replace the Sand Hill Bridge on Route 125 in East Middlebury with a similar span during a four-to six-week time period during the summer of 2014.
Kristin Higgins, VTrans project manager, announced those plans on Jan. 25 at a gathering of more than 20 people at Middlebury's Ilsley Library. Participants included neighbors of the 88-year-old span that crosses the Middlebury River at the bottom of a particularly curvy section of Route 125.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury's historic covered Pulp Mill Bridge will close on Jan. 2 for an estimated 10 months of extensive repairs designed to make the span more structurally secure and durable.
BRISTOL — Replacing two bridges in Bristol — the South Street Bridge and the Route 116 "Stoplight Bridge" — has been on the Vermont Agency of Transportation's to-do list since the early '80s. VTrans officials meeting with Bristol selectboard members Monday said the timetable for completing that work would be pushed back six months from the timeframe they gave in March.

Tour Description
Today you will see some of the best sights that this beautiful harbour city has to offer. Your Driver Guide will provide expert commentary as you weave your way through the bustling city streets to key landmarks.
The Rocks
Situated at the very base of the Harbour Bridge, the Rocks is a lively and popular spot for locals and visitors alike. In a time long ago, the area was inhabited by the indigenous Gadigal people, before the first European settlers claimed the land in 1788. Your Driver Guide will share stories, both tall and true, of the characters and events that shaped this port community. From the Rocks you will get a stunning view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the largest steel arch bridge in the world.
Mrs. Macquarie's Chair
Mrs. Macquarie's Chair sits high on the peninsula known as Mrs. Macquarie's Point. The chair is an exposed sandstone rock that was hand carved into a bench by convicts in 1810. It is said that Mrs. Macquarie, the wife of the then NSW Governor, was known to visit the area to take in the views.
Opera House
From Mrs. Macquarie's Chair you will get a birds-eye view of arguably the most recognisable icon in the World, the Sydney Opera House. This World Heritage listed building is considered a masterpiece of late modern architecture and a world class performing arts venue.
The Gap
You are now heading to the entrance of Sydney Harbour, known as the Gap. A dramatic ocean cliff on the eastern coast of Sydney, the Gap will give you breathtaking views of the New South Wales coastline.
Bondi Beach
Australians are renowned for their relaxed and outdoor lifestyle and Bondi Beach is a prime example of this. One of the most famous beaches in the world, it is a captivating location brimming with lifeguards, surfers and tanned beach-goers. You can wander along the shoreline and dip your toes into the cool ocean or treat yourself to something from one of the many cafes and restaurants (own expense).
On the return journey your Driver Guide will take you through famous suburbs such as Double Bay, Paddington and Kings Cross, each with its own unique streetscape and intriguing history.
Optional Add-Ons:
You may choose to upgrade your tour with a pre-tour luncheon cruise on Sydney Harbour. Enjoy a fantastic buffet lunch and commentary to set the scene for the remainder of your day. Once your lunch cruise docks, you will be escorted by a cruise representative to join your coach tour.

Radio operators ham it up on JBER
With easy Internet access almost anywhere these days, we often forget that everything depends on sensitive electronics and in many cases on fiber-optic and other cables underground or even under the ocean. Many things can disrupt those connections, from earthquakes to mudslides and fires. When that happens, there's an outage — usually repaired quickly. But in the case of a big event, like a major hurricane, there may be days of isolation.
Into that vacuum step ham radio operators. (The term came from the first decade of the 20th century as a pejorative; a 'ham actor' was incompetent, and professional telegraphers thought amateurs were unskilled.)
"During Hurricane Katrina, communications equipment wasn't just down, it was under water," said Ron Keech of the 673d Communciations Squadron, who serves as the secretary for the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson amateur radio club. "Before (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) got there, ham radio was up and running."
Amateur radio personnel got communications going, relaying information about what different areas hit by the hurricane needed.
"We don't broadcast, we communicate," he said.
In the 1964 earthquake in Alaska, for four days, all military communication was down - but amateur radio was working, Keech said.
The military has long supported amateur radio; Fort Richardson had a Military Auxiliary Radio Station for many years, although it has been off the air for a while, Keech said. The Elmendorf MARS station is affiliated with the ham club. MARS is a Department of Defense-affiliated network, which can relay information between federal agencies like the DoD and FEMA on federal frequencies.
"We have people coming out of the woodwork who were here in the 50s and 60s, talking about Elmendorf Air Force Base. So we catch them up on what has happened here, and learn the history."
The call sign KL7AIR was assigned to Elmendorf in 1948. "We've had an unbroken history of that call sign," Keech said. "There were other stations on Alaska bases, but they're gone now. We're trying to maintain that history." Trading contact, or QSL, cards with operator call signs on them is a long-standing tradition, and Keech said there are still QSL cards from Alaska stations around the world.
"We still get QSLs (contact cards) from Air Force Station Shemya in the 1970s."
But JBER has a ham radio station and Keech encourages anyone with base access to get involved.
"It doesn't take a genius," Keech said. "We have everyone from basic operators to guys who build their own radios, from 14 year olds to the elderly.
"If young people are involved and have confidence with it, they can be of benefit to the base and the community," Keech said.
There are amateur radio operators in the emergency operations centers in Anchorage and Wasilla, he noted. "It's a designated volunteer position for backup functions; they can communicate with the Lower 48 while other systems are getting fixed."
JBER's ham club meets in the Civil Air Patrol building off Dena'ina road on the back of the flight line, Keech said. The club moved there in 2004. There are about 14 people active in the club - almost all civilians - and they would like to see some new faces.
"Seventy percent of hams are 60 or older," he said. "We're trying to preserve the call sign; it's dark in Alaska in the winter, but whatever the weather is, someone's on the net."
"The principal function is to provide and maintain a viable working station for active duty people," Keech said. "If they can't have a station at home, that's what the club is for."
The hobby isn't hard to get into, Keech said.
"The cost is cheap compared to some other hobbies," he said. "This is a poor man's hobby. ... The tests are free, and the license is good for 10 years. If you can't afford a radio, we have ones that can be borrowed or you can use the club. Some people get involved enough to get into contests."
A radio setup can be small enough to fit on a desk or in a vehicle, although some people have extensive studios.
The tests ensure that operators know basic safety and electronics, radio etiquette and regulations. Once an operator has that basic license, it's hands-on training for achieving higher levels. The payoffs are communicating with people around the world and helping in emergencies when other communications fail.
"The world likes to talk to Alaska," Keech said. "We're kind of hard to reach. But if I point my antenna over the North Pole, I pick up Europe - and everyone wants to log a contact in Alaska."
Amateur radio operators often compete to get contacts from different states and countries, with awards organized by their home clubs.
"There are lots of hams in the (Alaska) bush," he said. "Obviously there are lots in the population centers, but every night I talk and listen to people in Deadhorse, Nome, northern Canada, Kotzebue - people so far off the roads they have to fly in. But they have a ham radio.
And there are several nets on at night, so there's a gaggle of people in Alaska on the radio, and if there is trouble, someone will hear.
"Even satellite phones can be very unreliable here in Alaska, because the satellites are so far down off the horizon they can't connect," Keech said.
Hams man checkpoints on the Iditarod trail, he said, relaying times and providing communication where even news crews don't get to. When aircraft go down in the bush, it's often someone with a radio who relays information back to emergency services.
"Cell phones and email are great when they work, but don't put all your communication eggs in one basket," Keech said. "When things break, they tend to break catastrophically. And although systems are robust, they're not perfect. One good earthquake in Prince William Sound would sever 80 percent of communications between Alaska and the Lower 48."
The Federal Communciations Commission allows ham radio to operate because it provides an essential service.
The motto of the American Radio Relay League - the association for amateur radio - is "When All Else Fails." The association has more than 156,000 members, according to its website. Because operators pay for the equipment and maintain and operate it, it's off the grid - and less susceptible to damage.
"If the equipment survives the storm or crisis, the operators are on the air," he said.
The aurora borealis is caused by solar wind in the atmosphere - and they can disrupt GPS and other communication.
"The radio gets noisy," Keech said. "We might have to relay a message, but we get through."
For those considering getting into the hobby, Keech has nothing but encouragement.
"They don't need to buy equipment; they can contact the club on base. We have manuals, which were donated; they give you the basics of everything in the test. There's no charge for the tests, which are available in Anchorage twice a month.
"There are practice tests online that people can take. If they're consistently passing, they can go take the Technician test and get on the air."
"It's not difficult," Keech said. "It just takes a little effort to get the license and then get to the club. You have to start somewhere."
For military personnel, being active in amateur radio can be good for evaluation bullets as community service.
While knowing Morse code is no longer a requirement for the test, learning it does open up more horizons in ham radio, Keech said. There are also ways to link computers to the radio.
"A computer can pick up the tones and filter out the noise," he said, offering clearer communication even in a solar storm.
For communicating long distances, operators can bounce radio frequencies off Mount McKinley, the ionosphere, low-earth orbiting satellites and even the moon.
"The hobby is so big, it's hard to describe all the things you can do," Keech said.
The club meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 5 p.m. at the club building.
For more information, visit the club's website at KL7AIR.us or email [email protected].

Writers and Editors' reference guide
As most of you know, if you've read the thread by BridgeBurner pertaining to reference guide for writing and editing, I've decided to create that list of website that could be helpful for writers and editors.
If any of you have more links like this one, don't hesitate to PM them to me and I'll add them as they come.
This one appears to be a site for English as a Second or Foreign language but it's easy to follow and has lots of examples and the proper names for everything. It mainly seems to deal with verbs, but it has all of the coulda', woulda', shoulda' stuff and how to keep tenses in agreement within a sentence/paragraph etc.
Advanced English Lessons
"The link is Purdu University's Online writing lab -- the best of the University Online Writing Lab sites out of the few I've checked out -- most are similar, but Purdue's explanations of knotty problems seems to me to be a bit more comprehensive and explanatory.
It's oriented to acedemic and business writing but the explanations -- especially the grammar and punctuation eplanations -- are applicable to any kind of writing."
My Elucubration
You make as much sense as me! Welcome to my club ... or is that cult? Welcome anyway.

Everybody Should Read That!!!!!!
I think that anyone who's seriously into writing and/or editing should take a definite close look at this. This is
informative and so clear and concise. It should be required, IMHO, to read it before deciding to write or edit any stories.

Most of the Volunteer Editors do both. In the real world of publishing, copy-editors get paid well, and Literary Edotors are only available for very large sums of money, and usually only for very well-established writers

Copy editing doesn't pay much simply because more is expected of the writer; what with all the available tools at the ready for them to do their own proofing of a manuscript.
Since I've been in Literotica, I've probably had at least a dozen people ask for my assistance in editing something for them. I always tell them I'll take a look at it, but if I immediately see many obvious and glaring technical errors, I'm not going to take on the project. Not only would I have to edit the content of the story, but the mechanics, as well, something they should have taken care of before submitting it to me.
In terms of those I've helped with the actual literary content, I've noticed a trend that is even common in the mainstream of the publishing industry. New authors tend not to listen or heed the advice of editors. When I have helped a small handful of folks here on Literotica, in terms of content and style, they universally refuse to listen, as if I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. I mean, geesh, I'm not trying to toot my own horn here or puff out my chest and boast, but, wow, you know, I really DO do this for a living, and, if I do say so myself, I know for a fact I make just as much working on my own, as an editor, than if I had an office with a large publishing house. I think most folks would be rather surprised to know what I make and how much I charge and that plenty of authors are willing to pay for those services.
Snooper is absolutely correct, when he says literary editors don't come cheap. That might even be a bit of an understatement. There are some very good reasons for that, too.
But I will say this: there is one person I helped who was really nice and fun to work with, and they actually listened to what I had to suggest. And later on, when they sent a story for me to look at, I was really quite impressed with it. That makes the VE program worth the effort.
On the other hand, there are those who've asked for help, and in the end I really had to wonder why they bothered, since they didn't want to pay attention. I had one person send me a story, which was, by and large, ok, though I did spruce it up for them. The end product did read much better - although they rejected nearly all of the changes I suggested, opting to keep the story essentially unchanged. It was wholly wrong of them to do so, as the changes were necessary, IF they wanted their story cleaned up professionally. The only real issue I had was that the person, well, more or less, plagarized the story; they took a story that was already out there in the mainstream, made a few slight modifications, gave it a more modern feel, but over all, merely adjusted the cosmetics and called it their own. When I brought this to their attention, well, they didn't think it was a big deal, and, to be sure, it wasn't all that much. However, geesh... I told them, well, if you had actually submitted this as a real story to a real publishing firm, not only would they reject it, simply because the story was standing on rather "iffy" ground, but they might also casually alert other firms to be on the lookout for your work, in case you really DID plagarize for real somewhere else or at a later time.
But it fell on deaf ears, I think. I'm fairly certain, if I recall correctly, that they submitted their story to a contest on here and it actually placed, though only second or third, I believe. Well, in a sense, that was disappointing, because it only served to nullify my editing suggestions and advice. I think the person walked away from that experience with the idea that they were more astute and aware of their own work than they really were.
There's nothing wrong with having your own creative style, which this author I helped seemed to use in order to excuse the many errors in their work. However, new and inexperienced authors MUST realize there are tried and true methods that DO work. You can't simply break from them under the premise of individual creativity. "That's just MY style." IF you can make it work, great, but nine times out of ten, it won't, and you need to rethink your strategy. That's what an editor is for: to help you plot and plan your story more effectively.
Well, anyway, I think a lot of authors here that ask for help via the VE program need to understand a few things, before requesting assistance. Do as much proofing of their work before submitting, and then be willing to let the editor go over their work with a red pen, so to speak. They're only there to help, not hinder

And, yes, I know
what I'm talking about.
I'll even toot my own horn: read any of my stories and compare them to anything on this website. And that's not bragging. It's simply a matter of pointing out that what I know about writing and editing, as compared to those such as yourself, is painfully obvious. And, the only reason I have those skills and to such a degree, is because I've worked in the field professionally for over fourteen years.
What's truely pathetic is your attitude toward writing. I've seen it an untold number of times over the years by hopefuls such as yourself; cocksure of themself and their skills, but woefully mistaken on both counts. But that seems to go with the territory. Seems like every green writer thinks they've got what it takes and doesn't need the advice of a literary editor. Nooo... Why, that new author knows it all. They know what sells and what doesn't and the why behind it all.
...that is, until a copy editor gets ahold of their manuscript and laughs, as they toss it.
Gosh, I just can't imagine why every well-known and published author has their own private literary editor. Hmm... really makes ya wonder, doesn't it?
What's truely pompous is your arrogance and the assumption on your part that anyone who happens to know what they're talking about (ie, more knowledgable on a particular subject than yourself) must surely be a pompous ass.
This is precisely the only reason someone like you will never become a published author: you think you have all the answers and know-how necessary to succeed in this business. Well, buddy, I've been in it for a LOT longer than you, and, I can assure you, you are very wrong.
But, then again, I'm sure you knew this already, right?
I got a hoot out of this...
A few Literotica editors are too 'helpful.' For example, one rejected an essay I wrote because he or she thought that the paragraphs were too long. That's an authorial, not an editorial, decision
Wrong. It depends on the publishing house you go through and what their editors will accept, but, nine times out of ten, if a professional editor suggests you break up the paragraphs, you'd be wise to do it. After all, the object is to get you published and well-read, neither of which will happen, if you don't allow the editor to do their job. They're in a position to know what sells. You're not.
In other cases, so-called editors have neglected to correct occasional typographical errors that were overlooked during the writer's own proofreading, editing, and revision process.
There isn't a literary editor in the world who will not reject a story like this from an unpublished author. Time is money, in this business, and I don't have time to do what YOU, by your own admission, should have done adequately from the start. Attention to detail counts, and it starts with the AUTHOR.
Editors should confine themselves to editorial tasks and resist the temptation of being a writer at the author's expense
This idiotic and wholly amateur statement is enough to convince me that you haven't the first clue, as to the division of labor, when it comes to publishing.
If they want to write a story, they should write one of their own, not mangle someone else's story
Of course, if you knew anything about publishing, you'd know that it's the job of the author to pen the story and that of the editor to disentangle it so that it reads smoothly and in such a manner as to entice others to read it.
You knew that, right??
A good editor is as valuable as he or she is rare
And, trust me, good writers are even more difficult to scrape together. But, then again, that's only because, like you, they generally think they already have what it takes to succeed. Naturally, they don't, but, for some reason, usually ego-based, they tend to think differently. Hence, they fail.
The problem is that bad ones abound, especially when their services are voluntary and virtually anyone can sign up to be one
So, since you obviously know more about this than me, for example, why don't you sign your name up to be a volunteer editor? In fact, I'd gladly put my skills to the test, writing or editing, against yours any time.
Heck, why not just send me a sample of your work? I'll look at it for free; pro bono just for you. Make it 1,000 words or less. And, you have my absolute guarantee, I'll be perfectly fair in my assessment of your work.
