behind the scenes of Wattpad, behind the scenes of writing, book covers, How to use Wattpad, Publishing, social media, Wattpad, Wattpad tips, writing, writing tips
A while back a writer-friend asked how Wattpad works and if it's even worthwhile to add to one's author platform.
I referred her to my post from last August: 9 Reasons Why Wattpad is Good for Your Writing.
Basically that post is all about practising your writing – a lot – to become a better writer. No matter which writing platform you choose to use.
But she wanted to know about Wattpad specifically.
I hedged a little. What do I know about Wattpad?
So in April I posted this as part of my Social Media Success post:
If you're like most writers, you only see that novel that wants to get out of you. You eat, breathe and sleep that novel. Nothing short of finishing that novel, polishing it to perfection and having it traditionally published with adoring fans fawning over it will ever be good enough.
But as we all know, there are several paths to the road of being a published author. The one thing they all have in common: great writing.
And how do we get to the point of being great writers? We write. A lot.
Whether that's by joining a writing community like Wattpad (I already told you my nine reasons for doing so) or one like Writing.com which focuses more on critiques (I've covered how to give a good one) or a writing community that only works in one language like INK: Skryf in Afrikaans (I've shared how awesome that's been for me) or even one where you get paid to write like on Patreon (read the interview with two awesome authors using this platform to get a handle on how it works), it doesn't really matter how. It only matters that you do. Writing more and getting other writers to tell you what's working and what isn't, is the only way to grow.
No matter what you decide to do, your profile must stand out.
For example, to make your Wattpad page stand out: a proper bio piece, links to your other social media networks (it has to be the full URL if you're going to mention it in your about piece), a cool header, your profile pic, and a reading list. This makes your profile interesting even without your current WIP.
Don't believe me (even after all those cool links), check out my Wattpad, Writing.com and INK profiles. Perhaps it'll inspire you…
Not really about Wattpad, is it?
I thought hard and long about it, made a lot of notes, doubted my expertise on the matter (after all, I only use a small part of that huge network) and finally decided that maybe I don't know everything, but what I do know might help others.
Let's start with why you want to use Wattpad.
For me, it's about sharing stories as I try out new writing techniques. Being part of the Fantasy Community is a great way to interact with like-minded writers and get feedback on my writing.
Check out this cool badge on my Stories on Scrolls book.
I try to take part in a Fantasy Community prompt competition once a month, writing new stories for (mostly) my Stories on Scrolls collection. I've tried first person narrator, omniscient narrator and – my favourite – limited third person narrator. I've tried various fantasy sub-genres too… and figured out that I simply love writing dark fantasy.
Though a lot of people will tell you to join clubs, this is the closest I've gotten. If you have more time available than I do, feel free to check out the clubs and communities (and tell us in the comments which ones work for you and why!).
Back to the story.
You write your story, whether that means chapter by chapter or whatever your method is. You proofread and edit until you're happy with it. That means your grammar, spelling, typos, and other issues are sorted out: no-one wants to wade through your hastily written first draft filled with draughts, typos and sticky plotholes.
Then you decide how frequently you want to post a new part of your story.
Some people will tell you to update every other day to get your book a lot of algorithm love. Or only on Friday afternoons (my Friday in South Africa or someone else's Friday in the Pacific Northwest?).
I've tried the Friday-thing. I've tried the every-other-day-thing. I've tried the posting-every-day-thing.
What works?
The right tags for your story.
Tags? Telling people what your story is about in a word or phrase (e.g. #darkfantasy).
Make sure that you know the genre of your book. It doesn't help anyone if you send someone to read a dark fantasy story and it's actually chick-lit.
Updating your story every day or every other day is great – I've had books climb the charts that way. (They had the right tags.) But once a month is fine too – as long as your readers know when to expect a new story (put that as part of your blurb or in your bio).
I've heard the whole disagreement about front covers for your books. Some people pay professionals to do it. Others get the artsy folk in the Café to help them – for credit in the blurb of the book or something like that. Some people use a program like Canva. (Though that sounds like another program that I'll have to learn how to use, taking away from my writing-time…)
Me? I get a free pic on Pixabay, Morguefile, Unsplash or another of those friendly free for commercial use sites. Using Microsoft Word, I add my title and other fun stuff to the cover. Then I take a screenshot, change things a little in Paint, and finally put the PNG file through Format Factory to get an appropriate sized JPEG and upload the nice cover to my new story folder on Wattpad. Voila! (I use roughly the same method to add pretty titled pics on the blog too…)
And though, compared to other covers, it doesn't always look professional, I'm happy with them. Because, compared to my favourite books in the brick-and-mortar bookstore, my stories on Wattpad aren't ready to be compared with professional work. (Well, once I've rewritten them and had them professionally edited, then we'll do that comparison. So why pour money into a cover that's only a "working cover" (like a "working title") that might change once the venue changes?)
You can always check out Leslie's Graphics for Beginners she shared during the #AuthorToolboxBlogHop last week for more about how to create graphics and covers.
Or Caroliena's break-down of covers she shared during the #AuthorToolboxBlogHop last week.
Oh, with each new chapter I'll add a picture at the top. It just makes it prettier when I add it to a Pinterest board. (Yes, I have a Pinterest board dedicated to each of my books on Wattpad.)
Every time I read a story, I vote on it. (It's easy: just press the star icon.) Not only does it remind me where I've left off in a book, it also tells the author that I've read it. (Maybe that's just what they need that day to keep writing…)
I also try to comment on every story I read. As a writer, I can tell you what I've liked about the story or if there's a little something that's bothering me (like using "endower" instead of "endeavour" because spellcheck decided on that).
Commenting doesn't have to be a place only for Trolls. I've heard the horror stories of people leaving gross emojis or horrible comments on stories. And though the closest I've gotten to a horrible comment is someone telling me I need to edit – while their own comment is riddled with typos and spelling errors – I've thanked them for reading and commenting. Maybe because I've learned a long time ago that meeting ignorance and intolerance with kindness and good manners confuses the hell out of people… *shrugs* I'm a complicated woman.
I always answer comments. I feel that if someone had taken the time to read and comment on my story, it's only polite to answer them. Especially if they've offered advice. Of course I've ran into people who ignore my comments and advice – it's a free world. If a tad rude…
Now why do people covet votes and comments? Even asking at the end of a chapter for people to vote and comment (as do I)?
To get to the top of the Charts.
The "what's hot?" charts for each genre is where people searching for a new read hang out. I've had stories with a #1 in Fantasy beneath them… The top 1000 in each category gets ranked up to number one. People read the first chapter (reason chapter one has a lot of views) and either continue reading (adding the story to reading lists and their library) or they move on. Point is: getting on the chart is good for your story (and probably your other stories too).
Climbing the charts is all based on votes, reads and comments. So get your tags, updating schedule, genre, grammar and all that other stuff sorted out and see where you can end up. That's how people measure success on Wattpad.
Being on Wattpad isn't just about getting your work read. It's about reading other stories too. That's why a reading list is so important. It shows people that you've actually taken time to read the work of other Wattpadians. You can have several reading lists (you can customise them when you're on your profile or when adding a new story to a list).
And if you can, translate your stories… It's a good way to practise your writing skills in all the languages you can write in. (It's my Afrikaans stories that have made it to #1 in Fantasy, BTW.)
Still, the most important thing about Wattpad is writing a good story and having fun while doing so.
Other things you might want to know:
The other day I learned that I'm on a list of "Adult Wattpad Users". It came as a bit of a shock. No, I know exactly how old I am (most of the time), so that's not the issue. What did confuse me was how big the divide on Wattpad can be – thus far I've steered clear of unnecessary wars. I don't have a "teenagers are rude, adults are good" attitude when I'm on Wattpad – after all, I write for teenagers and spend most of my time with my teenaged characters. (Oh look, another Animal Farm reference.)
I've had an equal amount of teenagers and supposed adults ignore my comments on their stories. And no: I have no idea what your age is when I choose to read your story, I just know that the premise intrigued me.
I know I'm probably considered rude: when my internet is down or my service provider decides to send all my emails into the ether, I cannot answer Private Messages (PMs) or comments and sometimes Wattpad eats my messages too (though rarely).
I don't sweat the small stuff. After all, my goal is to be a hybrid author (traditionally and self-published) one day. Wattpad isn't the beginning and the end of my world – it's a place where I share stories, try out new writing techniques and make friends who are also interested in fantasy.
There are a few books on Wattpad success you can check out on Wattpad:
"Wattpad Fantasy Writer's Advice"
And my favourite: "How to get to #1 on Wattpad – Hints and Tips"
Getting it right is a big secret…
Well, that's all I know. I think. I'm sure there are a lot of other ways to use Wattpad. And I'm sure that what works for me, won't necessarily work for you.
Do you use Wattpad? How have you experienced the platform? Any advice about using Wattpad you'd like to share?

Author and lawyer Madeline Gleeson has written a detailed history of Australia's second offshore processing regime, from 2012 to the present day. Accessible and superbly researched, it deserves to be widely read.
Madeline Gleeson is a lawyer specialising in refugee law and international human rights. Offshore: Behind the Wire on Manus and Nauru is a detailed history of Australia's return to offshore processing. Reintroduced in 2012 by the Gillard Labor government, much secrecy has surrounded offshore processing. Despite government attempts to draw a veil around Manus and Nauru, there is a wealth of reports, investigations and first person accounts, allowing a shocking picture to emerge.
The four hundred pages of Offshore catalogues an astonishing amount of reported abuse: rape, child sexual abuse, beatings, physical and verbal abuse. Page after page. If that isn't bad enough, there is the poor state of the facilities: asylum seekers forced to sleep in humid, mouldy tents with inadequate protection from the rain, unsanitary showers and nowhere decent to go to for purposes of recreation. The whole idea of offshore processing, of course, is to make the lives of asylum seekers as bad as possible. Despite this, the level of cruelty is extraordinary. Even items basic to human dignity are made difficult to obtain: women are not supplied with enough sanitary napkins and underwear for men, women and children are always in extremely short supply. One boy is reported to have had his genitals exposed because he only had one pair of shorts that were ripped - and no underpants.
To make things even more hopeless for the asylum seekers, Manus and Nauru operate in legal limbo. If guards abuse detainees, who is responsible? Australia continually shifts blame back onto the host countries, while the host countries point the finger at Australia. For example, three Australian guards were flown out of Manus when they were accused of raping a local woman, rather than face court. Basic healthcare is also dreadful. Twentyfour-year-old Iranian asylum seeker Hamid Khazaei almost certainly died due to neglect: a cut on his leg developed into septicaemia. Timely medical care would have saved his life. In a terrible irony, Hamid's organs were donated to Australians.
Madeline Gleeson lays out the facts of what we know in calm, dispassionate language. As she says in her conclusion, we can't say we didn't know what was going on.
Offshore: Behind the Wire on Manus and Nauru, by Madeline Gleeson. Published by New South Books. ISBN: 9781742234717 RRP: $29.99

Top notch organization!!

I was so surprised by Loc-Tite Inc, and how prompt and professional everyone I have spoken to has been. Sometimes, when you see something that seems too good to be true, it generally is. However, I am pleased to say that Loc-Tite Inc is much less expensive than other companies. I will most definitely be calling Loc-Tite Inc if I need a dumpster again in the future. Thank you to everyone!!

When Canadian law just isn't reason enough.
As reported by CTV:
Leaders urge Muslims in Canada to obey fatwa
Representatives of Canada's Islamic community issued a call to action on Wednesday, urging Muslims to obey a religious edict that condemns violence and sanctions peace.
"Muslims have undertaken to obey the laws of a country of their residence, and thus they must be faithful to that undertaking," according to the fatwa issued by Iraq's most senior Shia cleric, the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.
The Lebanese Islamic Centre's Linda Clark told reporters at a press conference in Montreal that the edict means it is a sin for Muslims in Canada to act against the fatwa, which is a legal opinion or ruling issued by an Islamic scholar.
. . . "And as soon as they enter it they are pledged to live there in the same manner as the rest of the population without causing any harm to public security and safety."
Ah, gee, thanks for the help . . . but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the thought that any segment of Canada's Muslim community might be taking its marching orders from foreign religious leaders.
I've got an idea. If you want to live in Canada maybe you should live by the laws of the land, just . . . because . . . and not because someone's issued a religious edict.
So what would happen if an influential, foreign, Muslim leader issues a fatwa that runs contrary to Canadian law in the future?

text: THE PAULOWNIA TREE, ESSENTIAL AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE The Paulownia tree (Paulownia Tomentosa), also known as Kiri and the Empress Tree, originates from China, and its characteristics are very useful against planetary pollution, desertification, and global warming. It is capable of purifying infertile soil and absorbing 10 times more CO2 than any other species. As well as providing us with therapeutic properties, such as anti-viral action on the Enterovirus 71, it inhibits the proliferation of monocytic leukaemia cells in humans, and its fruit contains potential anti-inflammatory effects.At the end of the 1970s, work began on genetic improvement which permitted the creation of a new hybrid, considerably bettering its resistance to pests and disease, and improving its capacity to maintain its environment unaltered and neighbouring species of tree unaffected.Its leaves are 40cm wide and it can grow to a height of 27 metres. It is the fastest growing tree on the planet. It quickly regenerates roots and its growth basin, making it resistant to fire and tolerant to pollution. There is no need for replanting as after pruning it reshoots and makes up to 7 times more stems. It prospers in contaminated soil and water and purifies the land where it grows by way of its nitrogen-rich leaves, which give nutrients to the ground when they fall and decompose. However, its growth is very slow in these conditions. For favourable growth it requires deep, well-drained soil, preferably sandy. It does not tolerate salty soil. It is capable of growing on poor or eroded land a long as it has organic manure and water for root development, essential for the first 21 days after planting. After that, it can resist moderately dry conditions. It is adaptable to a wide variety of climates, tolerating extreme temperatures from -20º C to 45º C, its optimal temperature being 20º C. Its main characteristic is its efficiency to carry out photosynthesis: an adult tree can capture up to 21.7 kg of CO2 every day, which converts to 6 kg of oxygen. Its only limit is the altitude of the land, as it will not grow in areas above 2000 metres. Its nitrogen-rich leaves make a good compost and very good for fodder due to the high nutritional content.Its wood is of high quality, although one of it uses is in the manufacture of biomass for power stations and domestic heating. The wood is crushed and pressed into pellets, an excellent solid bio-fuel and a good substitute for coal, and with neutral CO2 emissions.For some years now, various projects of extensive plantation have been coming to light in countries such as Mexico and Argentina, and in Texas, to purify the soil and recover its properties, and to combat environmental pollution. It is an excellent initiative which we would do well to heed in the endeavour to recover land degraded from our improper usage.Information on its medicinal properties:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25744451https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21175584https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28968119Further information:http://paulownias.es/http://www.worldpaulownia.com/

The paper by Carol McCluer continues below
II. Real Love Is Care for the World
In one Aesthetic Realism consultation, when I said I liked going out with men I saw as impressive, my consultants explained:
Women want to have power over men they see as powerful....If a man is very much given to something, a woman would like to get his mind off it. So do you think you'd like Mr. J. to stop reading Tolstoy and give his attention to McCluer?
I answered, "Yes." And they said,
If you were really interested in him, you would want him to care more for literature, not less.
My learning from Aesthetic Realism that the purpose of love is to like the world made possible my marriage to Aesthetic Realism associate Kevin Fennell. Together we are the parents of a daughter, who is 11. In consultations, I began to get the education about love women are yearning for; I learned what it means to have a strengthening effect on a man, to see him just as he is and in relation to the wide world.
In one consultation assignment as we were coming to know each other, I wrote about Kevin in relation to this main principle of Aesthetic Realism: "The world, art and self explain each other; each is the aesthetic oneness of opposites." I was studying how he, like everything in reality, is an aesthetic situation. This is the power of seeing—completely opposed to the power of conquering. Through it, my feeling for Kevin Fennell grew larger; I liked myself for this kind of thought, and the triumph I had gotten through conquering men was hollow in comparison. I wrote:
Kevin Fennell...has a self that is like no other, making him a unique example of the human race. And yet he needs things and people in order to live...He needs books to know more and to feel more; he read Martin Chuzzlewit and his feelings mingled with those of Charles Dickens....There are impressions of the world in him....He has a memory of the Colorado River. As he talks or thinks about it, the river becomes him and he becomes it--both composed and excited at once.
As I continued having Aesthetic Realism consultations, I had larger, deeper emotions about everything—I saw the opposites in a plate of food, in cars on a city street, in a painting by Renoir, and in people, including the man who became my husband. And as I was more affected by things and people, I felt freer, more truly powerful: my thought was clearer and I had hope and happiness. And I knew at last I could like myself for how I was with a man.
More coming in my next post!

The guilty pleasures of watching GM go bankrupt
I don't think we should bail out the
failing failed American carmakers. I admit that I'll feel a guilty pleasure watching them go down the tubes.
It isn't that I don't support a vibrant American auto industry, or that I don't want to cushion the blow of all the layoffs that a collapse of the carmakers would entail. It's just that throwing money at the Big Three won't do either of these things. It'll be like flushing money down the toilet. And even if it would postpone the inevitable, I want my guilty pleasures now, dammit. I want to watch Rick Wagoner go down with his ship.
The carmakers aren't in this mess because of a little liquidity crisis, or a run of bad financial decisions that leave them short of cash. They're about to go belly up because their basic business isn't viable anymore. I have to admit, it gives me a sort of perverse pleasure to see GM going down the tubes after decades of building crappy cars. Perhaps its products aren't as inferior to their competitors as they were in the 1970s, but if you peruse Consumer Reports at all, you know that Toyota and Honda are still flogging GM on reliability even now. Oh, free market, work your magic.
It's also sinfully delicious to see the Big Three begging for money after the bottom fell out of the market for gas-guzzling SUVs. All the lobbying muscle that once went into fighting increases in the CAFE fuel economy standards tooth and nail may not be enough now to get the government to help them build better small, fuel-efficient cars. Too bad, so sad, Rick. You bet the company on the Hummer when you had to know that gas prices weren't going to stay low forever.
I'm also a little giddy about the failure of Detroit's carmakers after years of watching them do too little to push for national healthcare. They like to whine about their high health care costs, but they did far too little to push for the government-funded national health insurance that would have relieved them of many of the financial burdens they're complaining about.
Of course, none of this is going to make up for the real pain of a failed American auto industry. But that pain should be treated with something other than a bailout for the Big Three's shareholders.

Prep: 1. Grate ginger. Zest orange Make: 1. Preheat oven to 425. 2. In a blender, mix together eggs (and yolk), pumpkin, sugars, salt, spices, evaporated milk, orange zest and whiskey. 3. Pour in prepared crust. 4. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 350 and continue baking, 45 minutes, or until knife comes out clean.
After many years of experimenting it turns out that the secret to pumpkin pie is whiskey! Not enough that it becomes boozy, just enough to give it a tiny almost unidentifiable something extra. That said, the whiskey isn't strictly necessary, but like the title says it definitely makes it better. If you want to make your own pie crust try our "basic pie crust" recipe in the gatheredtable library. We have cream cheese and gluten-free pie crust recipes as well! - https://www.gatheredtable.com/recipes/61739 To really take this up a notch make your own pumpkin puree - https://www.gatheredtable.com/recipes/702824 You can also use heavy cream instead of evaporated milk if you prefer, and if you have cardamon on hand adding 1/4 teaspoon is an amazing addition!

Rahy's Attorney won the 2008 Woodbine Mile.
Canadian turf champion Rahy's Attorney returns to defend his Woodbine Mile (Can-IT) crown against a strong group of turf specialists in the $1 million event Sept. 20 that includes the sharp mare Ventura and New York invader Bribon.
Ten are entered in the 13th edition of the Woodbine Mile, which, like last year, is a Breeders' Cup Challenge race guaranteeing the winner (upon payment of appropriate starting fees) a berth in the Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) Nov. 7 at Santa Anita Park.
The Woodbine Mile, which is race 10 with a probable post of 5:42 p.m. EDT, caps a great day of turf stakes racing at the Toronto track. Also on the program is the $750,000 Northern Dancer Stakes, presented by V-Tech (Can-IT), at 1 1/2 miles, which brings out defending champion Champs Elysees and Marchfield, Canada's Older Male Horse of 2008. The $300,000 Canadian Stakes (Can-IIT), at nine furlongs for fillies and mares, is topped by Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (gr. IT) victor and Eclipse Award winner Forever Together.
In an evenly matched Woodbine Mile field, Rahy's Attorney is the third choice on the morning line at 9-2, behind Shadwell Metropolitan Handicap (gr. I) winner Bribon (5-2) and Ventura (7-2), who ran second to Rahy's Attorney in last year's renewal and has not started since April 9. Bribon, the 124-pound high weight, drew post 5 for trainer Robert Ribaudo, while Ventura, trained by Bobby Frankel, has post 9. The Ian Black-conditioned Rahy's Attorney is just to her inside.
Black, who was not concerned about Rahy's Attorney's wide draw because of the long run down the back side, thinks the stakes record time of 1:32.72, set by Soaring Free in 2004, is in jeopardy.
"I suspect they'll break the record," he said. "It's firm. He showed he could handle it firm in the spring. He set a track record himself."
Among the other leading candidates in the Woodbine Mile are local hopes Jungle Wave (6-1), winner of the Play the King (Can-IIT) in his last start, and always-tough Sterwins (8-1). Ferneley (8-1), impressive winner of the Del Mar Mile Handicap (gr. IIT) last month, ships in from Southern California for trainer Ben Cecil.
Rahy's Attorney, with Slade Callaghan aboard, can become the first back-to-back winner of the Woodbine Mile.

Hybrids In Bloom
A couple of big stories in the wide world of scripting languages running on virtual machine platforms.
- IronPython, the .NET implementation of Python created by Jython creator Jim Hugunin, released version 1.0.
- The two primary developers of the JRuby project, implementing a Java-based Ruby interpreter, were hired by Sun with the mandate to bring JRuby to 1.0.
The amazing thing about IronPython is that it benchmarks as being faster than traditional CPython, which seems sort of counter-intuitive. (I'm assuming, based on nothing at all, that there's a higher memory load, but if I'm wrong, I'm sure somebody will point that out).
One of the interesting things about JRuby is a certain shift in momentum. When Jim Hugunin created JPython, the primary goal was to be able to use existing Java libraries with Python syntax. The JRuby team (and by extension, Sun), in contrast, seem to be comparatively more interested in using existing Ruby libraries (like Campfire and Rails) on a JVM backdrop than in using existing Java classes.
For instance, JRuby does not seem to have an analogue to the Jython shortcut of using converting attribute assignment in Jython (foo.bar = 3) to a Java bean setter (foo.setbar(3)), which makes Java classes feel more Pythonic. (Again, correct me if wrong, the existing tutorials don't touch on this point, and I'm basing this on a possibly out-of-date article). (UPDATE: Somebody did correct me -- JRuby does have this style. I wonder if it also works on constructors the way Jython does. So the point below is somewhat invalidated.)
And I don't mean this as a good/bad thing, either -- it's perfectly all right for the different tools to have different priorities. It's fascinating that Ruby is now seen as bringing a host of useful tools to the Java platform, in a way that I think we would have been laughed at a few years ago for suggesting that strongly about Jython.
Good luck and more power to everyone, I can't wait for Java on Rails...

Two Pine Bluff men arrested in separate homicides earlier this year have been formally charged with the crimes.
Two Pine Bluff men arrested in separate homicides earlier this year have been formally charged with the crimes.
Last week, Prosecuting Attorney S. Kyle Hunter charged Jonathan Wyshawn Jones, 21, with first-degree murder and Ivory Jones, 23, (no relation) with capital murder.
Jonathan Jones is accused of shooting Bendrell Urquhart, 24, who was pronounced dead after police responded to a reported shooting at 4410 W. Hepburn St., on April 26, and Ivory Jones is accused in the death of his 2-month-old son, Corey Jones, inside a house at 10 N. Richard Court on May 9.
During a probable cause hearing for Jonathan Jones on May 6, Deputy Prosecutor Maxie Kizer said a witness told police Jones had come to the house to buy marijuana from Urquhart, and said he was going to go outside to get his money.
Detective Jeremy Oswalt said in a probable-cause affidavit that Jones pulled out a silver handgun and shot Urquhart twice before fleeing the scene. Jones was identified as a suspect after police showed a witness a photo lineup.
Urquhart�s brother, Rashad Urquhart, allegedly shot Jones after the incident and Jones, who was not identified as a suspect until the following Monday, was treated for that wound at Jefferson Regional Medical Center.
Rashad Urquhart allegedly told police he threw the gun he used away. He had previously been accused of hindering apprehension or prosecution for not telling police of Jones� alleged involvement in the shooting.
Bond for Jonathan Jones was set at $250,000 and during the probable-cause hearing he said he would hire his own attorney.
During a probable-cause hearing for Ivory Jones on May 10, Detective Jerry Lambert said police and emergency medical personnel were sent to the house after receiving a call that a child was �unresponsive.�
Lambert said Ivory Jones told police he awakened and found his son �cold, pale and unresponsive� and emergency medical personnel worked on the child �to no avail� before contacting the coroner�s office.
During the initial investigation, Lambert said, Jones gave police a false name and it was only later that they determined his true identity. He allegedly admitted giving the false name because there was an active warrant for his arrest that had been issued after he failed to appear in court in June 2012.
Jones also allegedly told police �he had been on the run for about a year,� Lambert said during the court hearing.
Lambert also said Jones initially said his �2- or 3-year-old boxer had caused the death by lying against the infant but the dog had nothing to do with it.�
According to Lambert�s testimony, Ivory Jones �has an extensive criminal history, is on probation, and has drug charges pending in Jefferson County Circuit Court.�
Ivory Jones will be held without bond at the adult detention center.

The following stories from the October 12, 2007, edition of AOPA ePilot were provided to AOPA members who expressed an interest in the particular subject areas. Any AOPA member can receive information tailored to their areas of interest by updating their preferences online.
My ePilot – Student Interest, Training Tips
If you fly from an airport where the line staff attends to the needs of your trainer before and after every flight, landing at your destination on a solo cross-country may present you with your first opportunity to take responsibility for refueling or aircraft servicing. Before that day arrives, make it a habit to watch refueling, aircraft towing, and cold-weather preheating operations carefully. Ask the line staff to explain safety procedures used in each operation.
For example, you may never have connected a grounding line before in preparation for refueling. What is its purpose? To prevent the hazard of static electricity from creating a spark in the presence of vaporized fuel. There's a right way and a wrong way to attach a grounding line from its source—your lineman's fuel truck for instance—to the aircraft. "Connect the grounding wire to unpainted metal on the aircraft; if it's not brittle the engine exhaust is often a good choice, otherwise try the metal lugs on the nosewheel strut where the towbar attaches. Just as important, don't forget to disconnect the grounding line before you try to taxi away," Dale Smith advised in the August 2003 AOPA Flight Training feature "Think tank: Be well grounded in proper fueling procedures." Note his reminder to remain with the aircraft any time it is being serviced. You might see something you don't like in the way the aircraft is handled, or even catch a misfueling incident before it becomes an accident cause.
You know from studying your sectional navigational chart against airport symbols in the VFR chart user's guide that your destination airport offers fuel. Now make sure that your arrival won't take place at a time when that fuel is unavailable. A look at the entry for the Ames Municipal Airport (AMW) in Ames, Iowa, in AOPA's Airport Directory Online shows hours when service is available. A note also gives contact information for making arrangements at other times.
Include this level of research in your study of potential emergency airports that lie along your cross-country routes. En route, know your position relative to these alternates at all times in the event that you must divert for weather or a mechanical repair.
My ePilot – Training Product
Learning airspace can be a daunting and demanding task in the quest to become a pilot. Teaching the concept of 3-D airspace with a 2-D chart only compounds the problem. Where In The Air is a new company that is seeking to make the airspace learning process easier with large 3-D airspace models. Though only available for certain California airspace, the models could potentially be useful for teaching the concepts anywhere in the country. The models are priced from $92.99 to $735.25. For more information, see the Web site.
Note: Products listed have not been evaluated by ePilot editors unless otherwise noted. AOPA assumes no responsibility for products or services listed or for claims or actions by manufacturers or vendors.
My ePilot – Student Interest, Final Exam
Question: The aircraft I fly for my flight training has a burnt-out wing-tip strobe. Can I fly the airplane or must I delay my scheduled flight until the strobe light is fixed?
Answer: The anti-collision light system must be fully operational per FAR 91.205 (c) and (d) during both day and night flight operations, so the airplane is grounded until the bulb is replaced. Additional information on this subject can be reviewed in the Pilot Information Center's online subject report, Aircraft Lighting.

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
In reference to the death of Osama bin Laden, I posted the above on my FB page. [One caveat before I start: I am NOT a political person.] While I do not condone any of bin Laden's actions, I am curious as to why so many people gleefully rejoiced in his death. If it had been up to me, I would rather have seen him caught. I would like to have seen him stand trial for what he did and face a jury. I would have liked to see democracy in action -- not violence. I would have liked for countries without democracy see how a democratic country works. I think that the integrity of the CIA and USA has suffered because of the actions which resulted in bin Laden's death -- we stooped to a lower standard. Was bin Laden a bad man? That I do not know -- I am not the One who will judge him. Were his actions bad? Yes. They were bad. I would just have liked to see him stand trial, know the charges against him...and think about it before suffering the consequences for his actions.

Murder by the Book
If mystery or crime thrillers are your genre of choice, Murder by the Book has it in spades. As the largest crime fiction bookstore in the country, it has stacks and shelves dedicated to fantasy espionage and mystery thrillers.
When Houston-native McKenna Jordan bought the store from its original owner in 2009, she maintained the same ambience and integrity established since the doors opened in 1980. The store itself is bright and open, with plenty of space to browse. Hand-written notes along the shelves offer advice from the knowledgeable staff, and book signings and author readings are frequent occurrences.
A modest children's section also has some great selections for young readers, and non-book items like tote bags and clever coffee mugs are also available. A monthly discussion group also meets in the store, typically the third Wednesday of the month. Discussion topics vary month-to-month, but include themes like historicals, new authors, and award nominees.
Tip: Follow Murder by the Book on Twitter to find out about upcoming events and book signings.

Kaboom Books
Kaboom Books has 83 sections and 72,000 titles of used books, but you won't find a single copy of 50 Shades of Gray inside. That's because, as co-owner John Dillman says, "I only sell what I know."
Because used bookstores often acquire their inventory book by book — with individuals bringing in their copies to sell —Dillman says he only accepts items that he has some knowledge of. Which is really impressive when you consider the massive amount of information lining the walls of Kaboom. Books are crammed into simple pine shelves from the floor to the very tall ceilings, often requiring a ladder to reach the top. And that doesn't even include the thousands of duplicate copies not on display.
It's easy to imagine spending hours inside Kaboom, browsing shelf after shelf of gently faded paperbacks of poetry or fiction or psychology. In fact, many do. And it's not just those in the neighborhood that swing by. Dillman says people come from all over the country to visit the store. "Used bookstores are a destination," Dillman says. And Kaboom Books is definitely one worth the trip.

Blue WIllow Bookshop
Blue Willow Bookshop is not just a bookstore, it is a neighborhood hub. In addition to book signings and author readings, the store has several active book clubs — even independent neighborhood book clubs can get discounts on their book selections if they register with the store — and kids are welcome for "storytime" every Thursday morning at 10 a.m. for book readings, art activities, and songs. Blue Willow is also a big supporter of local book-related events, including Teen BookCon, and the Bookworm and Tweens Read festivals.
The staff at Blue Willow Bookshop like to call themselves "a merry band of booksellers with opinionated advice." And that is exactly what you'll get. The book selection is sizeable — with an impressive collection of children's and young adult titles — but there's no hint of "big-box" feel. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, with great suggestions if you are not sure what you are looking for. If they don't have what you need, they are happy to order it.
Tip: Follow them on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for their top picks or fun book-related trivia.

Becker's Books
Every available nook, cranny, and corner in Becker's Books is filled with books. The Becker family opened the renovated-home-turned-bookstore in 1994, and it now houses an expansive collection of used, rare and out-of-print titles in just about every genre.
At first glance, the sheer quantity of books and seeming lack of organization can be overwhelming — books are stacked up wall to wall and up to the ceiling, sometimes even in haphazard piles on the floor. But if you are up for a little exploring, there is no shortage of leather-bound treasures to be found. Be prepared to spend a couple of hours roaming and browsing the winding shelves. If you find something you like, you can always curl up on one of the many cozy chairs set up throughout the store and read a few page while breathing in that delightful old-book smell.
Tip: An online inventory is also available on the store's website if you are looking for something specific.

Kinect technology coming to Windows Phone 8?
Hands-free gestures were in development for Windows Mobile 7.
VR-Zone.com is claiming to have inside knowledge suggesting that Microsoft is working on bringing Kinect Natural User Interface to Windows Phone 8.
Apparently inspired by the success of Siri on the iPhone, Microsoft has developed a new appetite for Natural User Interfaces (NUI).
VR-Zone claims the technology will show up either at launch or in the first or second update after.
Apparently the biggest challenge for the R&D department is lack of room for Kinect cameras on smartphones:"Kinect has three cameras, one of which his infrared. We can't put an IR camera on a smartphone, and without it, NUI won't work in dark." (See Canesta, now owned by Microsoft, small sensor here)
While the story may be a late April's Fools by VR-Zone, we must remember had been thinking in this direction before, saying:
"Windows Mobile 7 will use motion gestures, something the iPhone does not. It will not use an intricate and complicated series of gyroscopes and accelerometers. Instead, it will use the camera on the phone to detect motions and create appropriate actions. You will be able to shake, twist and otherwise manipulate the phone and get things done. The phone will be able to perform actions when placed face down on a surface, and it will know when it is in your pocket or bag."

Sprint Galaxy Nexus signs to hit stores on the 15th
Sprint customers that covet the LTE Galaxy Nexus, your wait may finally be coming to an end. A tipster over at Phandroid has supplied photographic evidence of window posters advertising the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint, and they came marked "do not display before" date of April 15th.
We know the phone is coming soon – it's already cleared the FCC, and both April 15th and the 22nd have figured prominently in rumors for the long-awaited launch of Google's flagship Android handset for "the other U.S. CDMA network." In a way these posters don't clarify between the two, as the advertising could go up a week early in an attempt to stoke interest. Regardless, it looks like Sprint customers should see a launch either this weekend or next.
If you've been waiting with bated breath for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus, we recommend you exhale (breathing is good for you) but then go ahead and enjoy the visual confirmation that the Galaxy Nexus will grace your network of choice in the very near future:

Samsung Galaxy S III To Feature a Home Button, Five-Row Icons?
The latest rumors regarding the Samsung Galaxy S III were talking about a May 22 event to be held in London, on an alleged invite which featured part of a render (hopefully to what will be the real deal). Today, a new set of rumors surfaced courtesy of the Korean Digital Daily and it's about how the manufacturer will reportedly keep the home button.
The original Samsung Galaxy S and the Galaxy S II both featured a hardware Home Button in addition to the capacitive buttons on its left and right. According to reports, there were internal discussions regarding the design of the upcoming phone which divided the design teams in two: those in favor of the Home Button and those who preferred a buttonless aspect, pretty much like the Galaxy Nexus.
Rumor has it that the team in favor of a home button won and that the Galaxy S II refresh will sport a rectangular, elongated hardware button on the bottom, below the screen on the relatively thin bezel. As far as software is concerned, reports have Samsung preloading the Galaxy S III with a version of TouchWiz which will allegedly sport not four, like on the Galaxy S II, but five icons on the home screen, like the Galaxy Note. This would definitely work if rumors regarding a 4.65-4.8-inch screen turn out to be true.
Whether the above (or part of it) turn out to be true is yet to be seen. What's interesting though is that Samsung managed to keep this pretty much under wraps and build a rather impressive buzz around the most anticipated Samsung phone of all time.

Quad-core HTC One X on sale for $630 without a contract
The business of selling imported smartphones is pretty hot right now, as the US carriers are more stringent in their testing and approval phases, so the newest gadgets from Samsung and HTC, for example, come later here than in the rest of the world.
Daily Steals is at it again, with its one-day-only offering of an unlocked HTC One X with a quad-core Tegra 3 processor (the international GSM version) for $629.99. Shipping and handling will set you back another five bucks, but the end $635 price is a pretty good offer for what is probably the hottest Android handset on the market right now, if you can't wait until the dual-core One X version lands on AT&T.
The site recently had a one-day sale of the 16GB GSM Galaxy Nexus, so it is apparently fixated on juicy Android offerings - nothing wrong with that.

AT&T readying a Galaxy Nexus with 4G LTE?
Rumors on the web run rampant, especially when it comes to unannounced smartphones. Well this one is no different, and this one, like many other rumors before it, comes from that good ole "very good source". AndroidRevolution is claiming that their "very good source" at AT&T, has said that SIM cards for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus have been sent out for testing, even giving a SKU for the SIMS of 73057, saying their LTE enabled. One cause for concern is they claim the SIM cards are of the standard size (Think: credit card), compared with the micro SIM that the Verizon G-Nex uses. Seems a little odd, but this could just be an error. Remember, this is a rumor afterall. However, the addition of the SKU number for the SIM cards does provide a little more certainty to this one and we may very well be close to seeing AT&T's first Nexus branded device. Let's hope this one pans out. Would anyone be interested in an AT&T Galaxy Nexus? Maybe this will be that new improved model we've heard rumblings of in the past?

Wall Story
We drove past this windmill many times on the way to the beach,
situated on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean salt marshes.
Thankfully we managed to stop a few times at sunset on route home to capture it on camera.
I was lucky because it was cut down this year, it was really sad to see the top rotors resting in the vines..
It was beautiful lit up at sunset, I even climbed it once!
Martine pretended she didn't know me, but that's another story!:-)
We've been asked about our thought processes when we use textures.
Firstly, if you get the format or crop of the image sorted I think you're halfway there.
Here I noticed the ground at the same level as the texture's skirt,
a lucky marriage made in heaven. The rest just fell into place...
This recipe uses textures from both sets..
As always its the first listed used to the last.
Leaden Hall - Opacity - hard light @ 94%
Copy of base image - Opacity - Luminosity @ 14%
Lime Plaster - Opacity - Color @ 68%
Copy of base image - Opacity - soft light @ 98%
Copy of base image - Opacity - Color @ 34%
Necropolis - Opacity - soft light @ 65%@

Mars and Venus Aligned
Planning for the best Valentine's Day
By Dennis Poust and Mary DeTurris Poust
We meet. We fall in love. We do everything together and everything in sync. And then, somewhere along the way, maybe after a few years of marriage, maybe after a few children, we notice that we've lost our communication groove and things are not quite like a storybook romance.
We thought with St. Valentine's Day approaching, this would be a good time to look at how married couples can foster intimacy and communication long after the honeymoon is over. As you'll see from our separate takes below, men and women often come at this topic from very different perspectives.
Dennis' View: We've all heard some variation of the newlywed joke premised on the honeymooners never setting foot outside of their hotel room. The jokes may be cheesy, but there's inarguably an element of truth to them. The human sex drive is powerful, and at no time does it seem as strong as in those first months of marriage.
This time is truly a gift for the new couple, but it is important to understand early on that such intensity is not possible to sustain. Couples must learn to allow their sexuality and their intimacy to evolve for the long haul and the changing life situations that come with age and the birth of children. Think marathon, not sprint.
I'm not saying that sex doesn't matter. It certainly does – a lot. The marital bed should never simply be just a place to sleep. A healthy marriage must find a way to maintain a robust love life through the years. But as the initial passion subsides, other forms of intimacy must come into play, too.
It's all about realistic expectations. Sometimes love can be expressed just as powerfully with a single kiss goodnight and falling asleep in each other's arms as it can in a decidedly more intimate embrace. The really good news is that if you can find those more subtle forms of affection, a prolonged, strong sex life should follow naturally. And that strong sex life, in turn, will feed the subtle displays of affection as the cycle starts all over again. Kind of like photosynthesis.
But you have to work at it, with each partner willing to give a little to meet the other's emotional and physical needs. If you can keep this cycle going, satisfaction will follow –
in every sense of the word.
Mary's View: Balancing out the need for eros in a marriage is the equally strong need for agape, that self-giving love that separates a sacramental relationship from one based solely on physical attraction or companionship. Intimacy in marriage is all-encompassing, taking in not only the sexual aspects of the relationship but the deep soul-level bonds that are forged when two people put self-interest aside in favor of true partnership.
Of course, it's not that simple, is it? Let's be honest, there's clearly a difference in the way men and women approach intimacy and communication. After all, the pop culture notion that men are from Mars and women are from Venus didn't materialize out of nowhere.
Women, especially after having children, are more likely to look for intimacy in the little affections that are shared in day-to-day routines – the kiss on the way out the door, the hug after a bad day, the flowers for no reason at all. Men, on the other hand, may consider the sexual side of the relationship the place where real affection is shown. In other words, it's a minefield of different perspectives, and without ongoing and open communication, it can get pretty tense.
So maintaining intimacy is about maintaining communication, and I'm not talking about conversations regarding meetings and appointments. I'm talking about heart-to-heart stuff, where you turn off the TV – gasp! – and discuss the issues that might be sapping some of the joy from your marriage. You don't have to review your life story and everything you ever wanted from your marriage, so you men can breathe a sigh of relief. You do have to talk honestly about what each of you needs to feel loved and appreciated. And then, even if you have very different ideas about what that means, you meet in the middle and offer a little of yourself for the good of your partner.
On St. Valentine's Day, think about adding a new twist to the usual chocolates and flowers. Perhaps you can have a long conversation over a quiet dinner, like you used to do in the "old days." Or maybe you can begin to plan for that second honeymoon, or at least a weekend away. Keeping love alive doesn't have to cost a lot and it doesn't have to be difficult. It's as simple as making time to listen to each other, not just with our ears but with our hearts.

IDS is an acronym for Intrusion Detection System. An intrusion detection system detects intruders; that is, unexpected, unwanted or unauthorized people or programs on my computer network.
Why do I need IDS? A network firewall will keep the bad guys off my network, right? And my anti-virus will recognize and get rid of any virus I might catch, right? And my password-protected access control will stop the office cleaner trawling through my network after I've gone home, right? So that's it - I'm fully protected, right?
A firewall has got holes to let things through: without it, you wouldn't be able to access the Internet or send or receive emails. Anti-virus systems are only good at detecting viruses they already know about. And passwords can be hacked, stolen or left lying about on post-its.
That's the problem. You can have all this security, and all you've really got is a false sense of security. If anything or anyone does get through these defenses, through the legitimate holes, it or they can live on your network, doing whatever they want for as long as they want. And then there's a whole raft of little known vulnerabilities, known to the criminals, who can exploit them and gain access for fun, profit or malevolence. A hacker will quietly change your system and leave a back door so that he can come and go undetected whenever he wants. A Trojan might be designed to hide itself, silently gather sensitive information and secretly mail it back to source. And you won't even know it's happening - worse, you'll believe it can't be happening because you've got a firewall, anti-virus and access control.
Unless, that is, you also have an intrusion detection system. While those other defenses are there to stop bad things getting onto your network, an intrusion detection system is there to find and defeat anything that might just slip through and already be on your system. And in today's world, you really must assume that things will slip through - because they most certainly will. From the outside, you will be threatened by indiscriminate virus storms; from hackers doing it for fun (or training); and more worryingly from organized criminals specifically targeting you for extortion, blackmail or saleable trade secrets.
From the inside, you will have walk-in criminals using social engineering skills to obtain passwords to, or even use of, your own PCs; from curious staff who simply want to see what their colleagues are earning; and from malcontents with a grievance.
What you really mustn't assume is that this is fanciful, or that you don't have anything worth stealing. According to experts in the field even something as basic as stored HR data on your employees is worth $10 per person on the black market. Search for 'FBI' on this site, and see the variety of attacks and dangers that exist; and how often there is a degree of success despite firewalls and anti-virus and access control. You still need all of those defenses - but you also need an intrusion detection system.
What do I need in IDS?
Intrusion detection describes the intention - not the methodology. There are several different ways by which this can be achieved; so anything that detects intrusions is an IDS. Which method you choose really depends upon what you need: and if you don't already have in-house security expertise, it would be worth employing a consultant to help reach your decision.
Note that IDS is no longer a new technology - it's a mature technology. Since the term is no longer new, it no longer has that 'buzz' required by marketing managers. This has been aggravated by analyst firm the Gartner Group proclaiming that IDS is dead and replaced by IPS. This is wrong. Ignore it. IPS is different to IDS. Vend ors and security experts know this, but the result is that manufacturers are tempted to find new terms - and one of these is Network Behavior Analysis. This is a good and useful approach; but one of the primary purposes of NBA is to detect intrusions – in other words, IDS.
Remember, too, that good security is the right level of security for you. You need to strike the right balance between the cost of the security and the value of your goods - there's no point in spending more on security than the value of what you're protecting. Risk management principles using a thorough risk analysis will help you decide how much to spend.
Armed with this information, you can look for features such as:
* attack halting (stops the attack, whether it is a program or a hacker)
* attack blocking (closes the loop-hole through which the attacker gained access)
* attack alerting (either pop-up to an online admin, or email or SMS to a remote admin)
* information collecting (on what is done by the attack to the network, and from where the attack came - helps gather forensic evidence should a prosecution become necessary or possible)
* full reporting (so that you can learn from your mistakes, and prevent future problems)
* fail-safe features (such as encrypted messages and VPN tunneling within the IDS to hide its presence from, and inhibit interference by, any hacker).
If you've got a large network, or particularly valuable information, you may like to look out for the extras offered with some intrusion detection systems:
* honeypot or padded cell (a fake network or area designed specifically to attract and contain attacks, so that you can analyze them and learn from their behavior)
* vulnerability analysis (so that you can check your network for all known vulnerabilities in order to pre-empt rather than just detect intrusions)
* file integrity checker (a mathematical way of knowing if a file has been altered in any way, and therefore potentially compromised by an intruder)
One other point - don't think that you're so small you don't need or can't find an IDS. IDS as described above is available for large enterprises on down. But even if you just have a couple of PCs, you can still get, and still need, an intrusion detection system. It's just that for a single desktop system it goes by different names and has less automated features: it's a personal firewall and an anti-spyware program. The purpose is the same - to detect and stop intrusions - it's just that here you have to manually keep it up to date and manually conduct regular scans and it isn't as intelligent or sophisticated.
Where do I get IDS?
Here are a few suppliers to get you started - but keep checking back to this resource center, because we'll be adding more companies and more products all the time:
* AirDefense
* Arbor Networks
* CounterStorm
* Enterasys
* Lancope
* Snort
* SonicWALL
* StillSecure
It will also be worth looking at Unified Threat Management. This is often a physical device, an appliance, and it just means that you get more than one security feature in a single box. Unified Threat Management will frequently include an IDS.
How can I evaluate IDS?
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you know what you need, and what you can afford. Then you need to know what's available. Only then can you decide what to get. So first check the Buyer's Guide in this resource centre to see what you can get. Conduct a risk analysis exercise - use a consultant if you need to. And then, knowing what is available and what you need, consult our Comparison Guide and see what product comes closest to that need. And if you have specific queries, problems or worries - get some free help and advice from Ask the Experts .
