This application is related to, and claims the benefit of the earlier filing date under 35 U.S.C. �119(a) of, PCT/JP 2005/019583, filed Oct. 25, 2005, and Foreign Application JAPAN 2004-316735, filed Oct. 29, 2004.
[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei07-203434. Nevertheless, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, images in a specified range and those in other ranges are coded by their respectively specified image qualities. Accordingly, at the time of a decoding they are limited by their specified image qualities, so that it is difficult to decode them with a various resolutions. Also, it is difficult to achieve a reproduction processing such as one for reproducing only an image of a specified range.
In order to resolve the above problems, an image coding method according to one embodiment of the present invention is such that information for specifying a region of interest defined on an image is explicitly described in a codestream containing coded data of the image. The “information for specifying a region of interest” may be information which is coded by referring to difference information between frames. This “different information” may be represented by a variation between frames in at least one of position, size and shape of the region of interest. It may be a difference between an average value of at least one of values representing the position, size and shape of the region of interest in each frame and values corresponding to those of a frame to be coded. Alternatively, it may be a difference between an average value of a variation, between frames, of at least one of the position, size and shape of the region of interest and a variation of a corresponding value between frames in a frame to be coded. Further, it may be a difference between an average value of variations between frames and at least one of values representing the position, size and shape of the region of interest in each frame. This is effective if the region of interest is greatly enlarged and reduced and the like. The “information for specifying a region of interest defined on an image” may be coded as a function of time. This is effective in a case when the region of interest varies with a certain rule.
Another embodiment of the present invention relates to an image coding apparatus. This apparatus comprises: a region-of-interest setting unit which defines a region of interest (ROI) on an image; an image coding unit which encodes the image; a ROI information coding unit which encodes information for specifying the region of interest; and a codestream generator which generates a codestream by including therein the coded image and the coded information in an explicit manner. The “region-of-interest setting unit” may define the region of interest on the image by a specification from a user or by an automatic recognition of an object.
Still another embodiment of the present invention relates to an image decoding method. This method is characterized in that a region including a region of interest is decoded from a codestream by referring to information for specifying the region of interest defined on an image wherein the information is explicitly described in the codestream that contains coded data of the image. The “region including a region of interest” may be a region of interest, a region including the region of interest and its peripheral region, or the entire image.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a codestream. Here, the codestream is indicated by a term “sequence” used in MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group). In MPEG, a coded signal for the one entire video program is called a sequence. The sequence starts with a sequence header and ends with a sequence end as shown in FIG. 3, and a plurality of GOPs are described between them. The GOP describes a GOP header and a plurality of pictures. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of pieces of ROI information are described in this GOP header. Various parameters, such as coding conditions, required for a decoding are described in the GOP header. In the present embodiment, the ROI information is described therein, too.
Next, a description is given of a method for determining by the ROI region control unit 44 the coordinates and the size of regions containing a ROI region and its peripheral region. FIGS. 5A-5C show ROI regions in each division level of wavelet transform coefficients. FIG. 5A shows a state where a ROI 90 is set on an original image 80 of division level “0”. FIG. 5B shows an image 82 of division level “1” obtained by performing one time wavelet transform on the original image 80. A transform image 82 of division level “1” is constituted by four sub-bands LL1, HL1, LH1 and HH1. The ROI region control unit 44 specifies ROI regions 91 to 94 in the transform image 82 of division level “1” necessary for restoring the ROI region 90 in the original image 80 at each of sub-bands LL1, HL1, LH1 and HH1 of division level “1”.
FIG. 5C shows a transform image 84 of division level “2” which is obtained by performing another wavelet transform on the sub-band LL1 that is the lowest frequency component of the transform image 82 shown in FIG. 5B. As shown in the figure, the transform image 84 contains four sub-bands LL2, HL2, LH2 and HH2 of division level “2” in addition to three sub-bands HL1, LH1 and HH1. The ROI region control unit 44 specifies ROI regions 95 to 98 on the transform image 84 of division level “2” necessary for restoring the ROI region 91 in the sub-band LL1 of division level “2” at each of the sub-bands LL2, HL2, LH2 and HH2.

Grumbles of aFoodie | Alétheia
ἀλήθεια, ας, ἡ (the state of not being hidden)	Grumbles of aFoodie	by maramcm
I am a sworn foodie.
Check out my instagram, 70% of what I post are food and I can’t help myself.
I have this thought to never starve yourself just to save money. I think it’s pretty reasonable since eating is actually a necessity and restraining yourself won’t get you anywhere. Plus the fact that drawbacks will come swallowing you down when you restrict yourself from one of the pure heavens in life. Drawbacks such as looking soo skinny your face is like a skull and that is not beauty for me. Or having those cravings or wants you never had since all you did was restrict yourself from spending. Or maybe having those regrets in like that you can never take back. You will never know those what ifs if you don’t try.
I have a sensitive tummy. Believe, it’s hard when you’re a foodie but this doesn’t stop me from being who I really am. This started in college, I was hospitalized because of amoebiasis. Then I recovered but then I later found out that I have gastric ulcer which makes this worse. Because of my amoebiasis, I am restrained with some foods I can’t eat and the funny thing about this is I can never tell until my tummy aches. Another is my ulcer where if I eat a lot, I tend to get bloated or get heart burns. A lot of people get this because acidity is a common thing with Filipinos but to hell with these right? I am going to eat as much as I can because this is me.
To those who tries their best to reduce weight, please don’t get mad at me. This is just a personal point of view. I also have this attitude to never repeat a restaurant. There are tons of restaurants in the country, even in Manila and I try my best to try it all. Well, except for those days when I’m really saving but for those days where my tummy overrules my mind, that’s what I do. You can still eat well without spending that much. It’s all about budgeting. Save at least 20 a day, try out a new restaurant every two weeks and you’re good to go. You don’t have to eat out everyday. That’s absurd! Unless you earn 5,000 net a day and you’re single and you live nearby without any other expenses, then you have no problems but for someone who just want to try things out, then once a week is good enough.

US services sector growth slowed in OctoberAFP – Mon, Nov 5, 2012 11:24 PM SGT
Growth slowed slightly in the US services sector in October, but remained at a solid pace with a pickup in hiring for the third month, the Institute for Supply Management's monthly index showed Monday.A day ahead of the presidential election largely fought over the economic recovery, the ISM monthly purchasing managers index (PMI) for the services sector slipped to 54.2 from 55.1 in September, holding exactly at the same sluggish but positive pace of the past 12 months.The ISM said respondents to its surveys expressed a "positive but guarded outlook on business conditions and the economy.""Outlook is positive yet still guarded. Clients have some pent-up demand that they are acting on with short-term contracts," said a respondent in the professional, scientific and technical services sector.In sub-sectors of the PMI, ISM said business activity and new orders grew more slowly than in the previous month, but that inventories were contracting and hiring picked up pace."The modest pullback ends a run of three straight monthly increases, but still leaves the service sector comfortably in expansion territory, and running at a firmer pace than during the mid-year soft patch," said Robert Kavcic of BMO Capital Markets.

A Jewish Grandmother : Think of Of The Worst Possible Things to Have Done During that "Extra" DST Hour on Friday
Think of Of The Worst Possible Things to Have Done During that "Extra" DST Hour on Friday
Among f2f friends, blog friends, email friends and facebook friends, I'd been talking/writing about that "extra" hour we'd have on Fridays before Shabbat because of daylight savings time. Not in a million years would I have guessed, been able to predict what I did and where I was for that hour on Friday afternoon.
Nu, have you guessed yet? I was at a funeral. A neighbor, a friend, younger by a few years, died in her home that morning. I'll write more about her later. I'm still in shock. She had some health problems, but she wasn't sick, expecting to die. None of us expected her to die. She's survived by both parents, a child and a sister.
I had no idea that anything had happened. Nobody called me. I took a one minute break to check emails, since we hadn't gotten our weekly community newsletter, and I had been hoping that someone would send me a computer copy. That's how I saw a notification, from the Shiloh email list. I began rushing all of my Shabbat preparation in order to have time to go to the funeral.
The family decided to make the funeral as short as possible. Instead of starting from the synagogue or home, we met at the cemetery. Lots of people attended to pay respects to the dead neighbor and her family, one of Shiloh's triple-generation clans. One of the things that really got to me at this funeral was that it was conducted by a neighbor who is fighting cancer. Six months or so ago he had gotten a very bad diagnosis and has undergone treatments. So listening to him and watching him in this role as Chevra Kadisha was rather amazing. I'm glad to see him alive and well and never expected that he'd be burying the other neighbor. As in the past, he motioned to me to do the kri'ah, the knife cut to rip the mourner's clothes. I've done it quite a few times for the women, but this was the first time I had more than one mourner. At this funeral there were three generations.
HaMakom yeNachem...May G-d Comfort...
4/02/2011 08:39:00 PM
Baruch Dayan Emet.May the coming week be one of besurot tovot, yeshu'ot, and nechamot.
baruch dayan haemet. There is nothing else to say.
May G-d give strength and comfort to the three generations of mourners.
4/3/11, 6:41 AM
Baruch dayan haemet. So sorry to hear.
mii, thanks, HaMakom y'nachem...

Battle Bunnies: Horus Heresy Black Oculus.
Horus Heresy Black Oculus.
A new Horus Heresy Short Story has been released. It also hints at a close revisit to the Tallarn story.
Following the events of 'Angel Exterminatus', the Iron Warriors find themselves trapped in the Eye of Terror. Eager to rejoin the war they seek to escape and jump their entire fleet into a black hole – genius.
This story follows the Navigators of the Iron Warriors fleet. As if being asked to pilot hundreds of ships through a quantum impossibility weren't enough, these psykers have to do so while enduring the attentions of the Eye's daemonic inhabitants. The experience will leave all of them... changed.
As well as a tense story in its own right, this new Quick Read is a precursor to the infamous Battle of Tallarn, the largest armoured engagement in galactic history. You can expect more on the way about this infamous conflict very soon.
Check out this free extract then download the full story.
Really hoping to see a full Novel at the Horus Heresy Weekender 2015 and maybe another one of their great Horus Heresy Anthologies.
Follow our coverage soon.

I'm not sure if I prefer all this short stories they are bringing out or to wait a little bit longer and have full novels
Drake Seta 20 January 2015 at 19:59
I do like a small short story now and again. When we go weeks and weeks without a story they really take the edge off.
Tom Dixon 25 January 2015 at 03:50
Short stories are great! But the fact that they repeat a large number of them in the Anthologies, and if you wait for that you get a great book and artwork, makes buying the short stories less worthwhile..

Barbara Rudolph Fine Art: May 2010
"Little Nest"
Another little oil painting from my bird series, "Little Nest". There are so many birds outside my window searching and scavenging for just the right materials to construct a place to lay their eggs. They are natural little architects working hard to gather little leaves, spider webs, twigs and even dryer lint. They stop periodically to take a dip in the bird bath since our weather here is going to be around 100 degrees today. I am enjoying painting a new series of detailed still lifes in oil. This little painting is just a fun quick little one I sqeezed in. It is only 4"x4" on a canvas panel. For more information

Book (new release on domestic violence) "A Season For Savages"
A SEASON FOR SAVAGES
About two years ago I met a woman named Bella Levine. I used to bring fine art magazines to a man at the group care home where my father was placed. He used to get very excited over having some new art magazines to page through. As time went by, I eventually met his daughter Bella, who was in the process of writing this book, "A Season for Savages". As we came to know one another I found out about her book and she asked me if I would consider doing the cover for it. I agreed to do it, and this was her vision for the cover. I painted it in oil and the idea she had was of a mother and child just coming out of the dark. The sun is coming up and it is representing a new beginning for her. She used the painting for the book jacket. Both our father's passed within about a month of each other this past winter. We re-connected recently and I found out that her book was just released. It is now available on Amazon and will be in book stores soon.
This book tells the story of a domestic violence victim who goes through an awakening. Each person is ultimately responsible to guard their soul from predators. All women have a right to live life as they see fit. It is begging for awareness of the growing problem of domestic abuse.
You can find it on Amazon now for $13.95
Bella Levine is in the process now of writing her next book.

"So Many Birds to Paint in so Little Time"
If it seems as though I have not been posting many new paintings lately, that is because I have set an insane goal and am working on a larger number of them at one time. I paint in oil and have come to love painting with more detail. I also spend countless hours working on new still life ideas and doing a lot of research at the library. You know the old saying, "never judge a book by its cover"? Well....I do the opposite these days. I am constantly in search of books with great titles or interesting bindings. (I hope to make time to actually read a few of them too.) My next series will be on "Murder Mysteries" and each one will certainly include a bird or two. I had so much fun last summer working on my "To Kill A Mockingbird" painting. It was very time consuming and sold so fast I hardly had time to see it in the frame. That experience has inspired me to begin my new series of birds & books. I will also include my "bird portrait" paintings, and my "Sunday Brunch" pieces. I think I am becoming a bit of a recluse because time just slips away so fast when I get involved in a new painting idea. I have been also spending a lot of time photographing birds to use in my new still life paintings. At the last "Celebration of Fine Art" show I met a professional photographer by the name of "Robert Campbell." He has been kind enough to offer up some of his wonderful bird photography to me for reference. (Some are included in my photograph above.) I have listed some of his wonderful books in my side bar with a direct link to them. He also has many other wonderful books for sale.
The next "Celebration of Fine Art" show opens on January 15th, 2011. Wow...that ony gives me about seven months to paint "100 Bird Paintings." Do you think I can do it?

Bird Watchin - Backyard Birds
I am so happy to see the mother hummingbird back after losing her babies in that terrible landscaping accident. I am hoping to see her build a new nest up a lot higher up next time.
She loves my bottle brush tree
This little tiny bird (Verdin) also loves the bottle brush tree. She stays away from my feeders and prefers to just find food in this tree. She is not much bigger than the hummingbird and she is almost as fast. I have yet to capture a really good picture of her, but she sure is fun to watch. She has a yellow head and a tiny white body. She is very camera shy.
I purchased some little red buckets to hang in my trees. I fill them with bird seed to attract the red house finch. They have become so popular now that I have mockingbirds, woodpeckers, a big crow and her baby, black chinned sparrows, songbirds of all sorts, a thrasher, a cardinal and way too many mourning doves. The doves I found are very mean birds and fight with eachother. The sparrows and finch are very friendly and even feed eachother at the feeders.
"Hurry and tell everybody....it's the really good seed this time."

CALVARYPHX - NW Campus
Join 960 The Patriot and Faith Talk 1360 KPXQ for Faith and Freedom, An inter-religious dialogue on the most fundamental questions in life. Where we agree and where we differ.
The evening features a candid, entertaining, and in-depth inter-faith conversation between three nationally renowned public intellectuals: one Jewish - Dennis Prager, one Christian - Alistar Begg, one Muslim - Zuhdi Jasser, and moderated by Maricopa County Attorney - Bill Montgomery.
Dennis Prager is one of America’s most respected radio talk show hosts. He has been broadcasting on radio since 1982 and is an amazingly gifted man and moralist whose mission in life has been crystallized – to get people obsessed with what is right and wrong. He’s the founder of Prager U. He’s considered one of America’s five best speakers and is widely sought after by television shows for his opinions.
Alistair Begg serves as the senior pastor at Parkside Church near Cleveland, Ohio. He has written several books and can be heard daily on the radio program, Truth For Life, which stems from his week by week expositional Bible teaching at Parkside Church.
Zuhdi Jasser is a frequent guest on the Fox News Channel and President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy. He is also a regular contributor to national and international media. He is an ardent advocate in Islam for freedom, liberty, and the separation of mosque and state through modern Muslim reforms against the ideology of "political Islam" or Islamism. He is author of the book, "A Battle for the Soul of Islam: An American Muslim Patriot's Fight to Save His Faith".
Bill Montgomery our Maricopa County Attorney is committed to vigorously prosecuting crimes and holding criminals accountable. He believes in the responsible application of Arizona's tough sentencing laws to ensure violent and repeat criminals are kept away from our fellow citizens and communities while seeking innovative strategies to deal with issues such as substance abuse and mental health. He is committed to partnering with law enforcement along with business and civic leaders to protect and strengthen communities, and has been an outspoken advocate for protecting children.
$100 VIP ticket - includes 6:00 pm VIP Meet & Greet Reception with photo opportunity and special speaker premiums including Dennis Prager's "Rational Bible" on audio cd, along with the book "The Hand of God" by Alistair Begg, and a Truth For Life portfolio that includes a "This One Thing I Do" Disc.

FWO Honored at The New School	Last night, The New School’s Office of Student Development & Activities held their 10th Annual Student Leadership Awards, honoring individuals and groups at The New School who demonstrate a commitment to community leadership. We knew ahead of the event that our advisor Lori Lynn Turner received a nomination for Outstanding Advisor to a Student Organization, but we were surprised to learn that FWO had also received two nominations, one for Outstanding New Student Organization and one for Outstanding Student Organization or Group.
We are proud to announce that Lori Lynn won for Outstanding Advisor to a Student Organization! She was presented with a beautiful framed award, just as fabulous as the one you see here. Lori Lynn has worked tirelessly to support the FWO since its inception, and was instrumental in encouraging and facilitating our most successful and ambitious event of the year, our Women Writing in the Age of ‘Post-feminism’ panel back in March. We are thrilled to see Lori Lynn’s hard work and dedication as an advisor, feminist, and an all-around inspiring person recognized.

Film, Food & Feminism: FWO Screens ‘The Purity Myth’	Join the Feminist Writers Organization at The New School as we celebrate the end of the semester and look ahead to the organization’s future by enjoying an evening of film, food, and feminism!
We will screen the “Purity Myth,” a documentary version of Jessica Valenti’s book of the same title, in which Valenti “trains her sights on ‘the virginity movement’ — an unholy alliance of evangelical Christians, right-wing politicians, and conservative policy intellectuals who have been exploiting irrational fears about women’s sexuality to roll back women’s rights.”
No need to be a student to attend, all are welcome, but we encourage you to RSVP.
FWO Screens ‘The Purity Myth’
Wednesday, April 25th, 6:00 p.m.
72 Fifth Ave., room 306
Don’t discriminate a book by its cover	Last week’s Sunday Book Review section of the New York Times has an essay by Meg Wolitzer, “The Second Shelf: On the Rules of Literary Fiction for Men and Women“. It’s yet another discussion about the disparities between published men and women authors, and she takes a closer look at book covers and how even those tend to convey sentiments of the books and their authors to the public.
Look at some of the jackets of novels by women. Laundry hanging on a line. A little girl in a field of wildflowers. A pair of shoes on a beach. An empty swing on the porch of an old yellow house.
I took semiotics back at Brown University in the same heyday of deconstruction in which Eugenides’s novel takes place (he and I were in a writing workshop together), but I don’t need to remember anything about signifiers to understand that just like the jumbo, block-lettered masculine typeface, feminine cover illustrations are code. Certain images, whether they
summon a kind of Walker Evans poverty nostalgia or offer a glimpse into quilted domesticity, are geared toward women as strongly as an ad for “calcium plus D.” These covers might as well have a hex sign slapped on them, along with the words: “Stay away, men! Go read Cormac McCarthy instead!”
It’s interesting to think about, given how size and shape are associated with men and women’s actual appearances. Shelley Jackson, in the FWO panel last week, described good writing — per critics — as being “lean”, and someone remarked the other day about how few women writers can write as sparsely as Hemingway. Perhaps there’s something to the declarative all-text titles on book covers by men that women’s books state less aggressively, but are starting to adopt more actively nowadays?

Daring to use the “F” Word: New School Students will Lead Panel Discussion on Feminism, Writing, and Activism	On Monday, March 26, 2012, the Feminist Writer’s Organization (FWO) of the New School will host and moderate a panel discussion titled Women Writing in the Age of “Post-Feminism.” The event, co-sponsored by the Writing and Gender Studies Programs at the New School, will examine the possibilities and limitations for women in the literary industry and will investigate writing as both a battleground and a crucial tool in the continued struggle for women’s rights.
The panel will feature four contemporary women writers whose work spans diverse genres and professions. Ann Snitow, director of the Gender Studies Program and Associate Professor of Literature and Gender Studies at The New School will speak from her experience as a feminist activist, writer, and teacher. Snitow has participated in movements for women’s rights and social justice across the globe for over thirty years, including most recently Occupy Wall Street, and is the author of numerous essays and books, including The Feminist Memoir Project: Voices from Women’s Liberation (ed. with Rachel DuPlessis,Crown 1998; Reissued by Rutgers University Press, 2007). New School faculty will also be represented by fiction writer and artist Shelley Jackson, who teaches in the graduate creative writing program. Whether printed on the page, such as her 2006 Tiptree award winning novel Half Life, or the flesh, as with her 2003 project SKIN, a story published in the form of tattoos, a single word etched onto the bodies of over two-thousand volunteers, Jackson’s work utilizes non-traditional forms and experiments with language and meaning.
Two poets from outside the New School community will also bring their perspectives to the panel. Camille Rankine is the author of Slow Dance with Trip Wire, selected by Cornelius Eady for the Poetry Society of America’s 2010 New York Chapbook Fellowship, former Manager of External Relations & National Programs at Cave Canem Foundation, and acting Assisant Director of the Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Manhattanville University. Rankine will discuss the politics of identity in contemporary women’s writing. Cate Marvin’s poetry has also garnered multiple awards and acclaim, including her first book,World’s Tallest Disaster, chosen by Robert Pinksy for the 2000 Kathryn A. Morton Prize. Marvin teaches poetry writing in Lesley University’s Low-Residency M.F.A. Program and is an associate professor in creative writing at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York. Marvin is also co-founder of VIDA: Women in the Literary Arts, an organization that “seeks to explore critical and cultural perceptions of writing by women through meaningful conversation and the exchange of ideas among existing and emerging literary communities” (vidaweb.org).
In an age where some purport that equal access to institutions of power has heralded the “end of sexism,” and with it the end of the necessity of feminism, women writers continue to question the present and envision new and strengthened roles as both women and writers in the future. The FWO hopes this event will spark a broader dialogue about a range of issues effecting women’s lives while highlighting the innovation and diversity of contemporary writing by women.
Wed. Feb. 22nd, FWO Hosts Networking Social	The FWO, a New School student group that believes reading and writing can be revolutionary acts, invites you to the next Student Org. Networking Social this Wed. Feb. 22nd, from 6:30pm to 8:30 pm, at Qi Restaurant, 31 W. 14th St. (between 5th and 6th Ave.).
Stop by for some food and drink on us and to hear what the FWO and other student organizations are doing this semester. Whether you are a student, faculty, or staff at the New School or just a supporter in the community, this is a great opportunity to come discuss issues related to reading, writing, feminism, student and other social organizing, and to learn how you can get involved. We hope to see you there!

Kimberly Bartosik’s ‘i like penises’ at Danspace - Review - The New York Times
Dance|The Pas de Deux Between Art and Dance
The Pas de Deux Between Art and Dance
By CLAUDIA LA ROCCO SEPT. 25, 2011
Picasso and Massine, Graham and Noguchi, Rauschenberg and Cunningham: visual art and dance have a long history of entanglement. Here’s another pair to add to the list, Kimberly Bartosik and Jonathan Allen. Ms. Bartosik’s “i like penises: a little something in 24 acts” was presented Thursday night at Danspace Project, in conjunction with the French Institute Alliance Française’s Crossing the Line festival.
The festival is all about entanglement. But “i like,” though it featured the real-time creation of a large collage work by Mr. Allen, only sporadically approached a full joining. The art forms mostly just nibbled at each other’s edges. Mr. Allen even periodically wheeled offstage the low platform to which his canvas was stapled, so that Joanna Kotze, Marc Mann and Edmond Russo, charismatic space eaters all, could have full run of the large circular space created by two curving rows of audience seats. (Roderick Murray’s gorgeous and thoughtful lighting offered the best sculpture of the night; New York has such a wealth of fine designers these days.)
Which isn’t to say the dancers and Mr. Allen didn’t have a lot of interactions; his materials were largely composed of dollar-store trinkets doled out by the dancers, who vied for his attention when not luxuriating in the colorful junk themselves or trying to squirrel it away from each other.

At one point a seated Mr. Russo cradled Ms. Kotze in his arms amid one pile, creating a 99-cent Pietà of sorts. In another passage all three stuffed objects up their shirts, desperate hoarders on the go. Neither size nor quality mattered in their overexcited, claustrophobic universe of stuff. Quantity ruled.
This hoarder aesthetic is not uncommon in dance. Perhaps the impulse stems from a sense of impoverishment among those whose art rarely produces objects. And perhaps that is a cheap statement; but big pockets of “i like” felt so disposable as to encourage dismissal. The emotional swing from arch suggestivity to inanity to manic chatter is overly familiar to anyone with a television; it’s dispiriting to see it so frequently recycled on our stages.
Ms. Bartosik is of course commenting on this television culture, even offering a swipe at “So You Think You Can Dance,” including sound clips from that show and a parody of a typically overwrought duet. It’s the choreographic equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel, and on Thursday it drew titters.
Cheap shots are O.K. But Ms. Bartosik also studs her choreography with big, showy moments (triumphant, exaggerated lunges, the endless unfurling of limbs) without offering enough of the finer texture that, minute by minute, makes import. It’s easy to laugh along with such a critique, harder to feel fueled by it.

I'm involved in a great mentorship project right now as part of a Yahoo Group. In reading the messages between the mentees and the mentors I've seen a pattern begin to develop. I'm not sure if it's because we're writing YA, but a lot of us don't want to follow the rules. Maybe we're all 16 emotionally, and as my good friend Phillip was fond of saying in first grade - we don't need no stinkin' rules. Rules are for the lesser writer. Rules are for the people who have no imagination.Rules are for the people who want to be published.If you're writing for yourself and your friends, then never mind this post. Go crazy. Pull together a 500k word young adult contemporary with a talking dog as a main character.There are some rules that unfortunately, new writers need to be aware of (and actually follow) if they are writing in the hopes of seeing the words on their laptop become a book someday. I'm going to gear this toward getting an agent because I firmly believe that you need to get an agent in order to write anything longer than picture books. Yeah, another stinkin' rule.Some of my favorite rules include:YA = Younger than 18. I hate to say this, but if you're writing about college students, you probably won't be able to sell it as YA. Yes, college is much easier to write - no pesky parents to worry about. But agents probably won't look at it. If you do manage to snag an agent with this manuscript, they're probably going to tell you to rewrite it as high school students before they'll send it out. Yes, I know that ALONG FOR THE RIDE by Sarah Dessen (one of my favorites) is set in the summer between high school and college. She's Sarah Dessen. You're not.Keep it under 100k. We've all see the doorstops that pass as novels these days - 300 to 500 word (mostly paranormal) books that look like serious reading. Anything over 100k words is going to be a red flag for an agent. Save the big stuff for your second (or third) book.Know your genre. Contemporary isn't fantasy isn't dystopian. Each genre is a separate being with it's own rules and regs. Study up and know what you're writing before you start submitting. If you're not sure, I suggest a few days spent perusing the posts over on the message boards at Verla Kay. A confused agent isn't likely to read very far.Get a hook. Your gentle coming-of-age story about a girl who comes to terms with her parents divorce might be really well written, but you probably won't get an agent to read it. It's been done. Find something about your story that is amazing and original and will get the agent excited to read on. A rockus coming of age story about a girl who reacts to her parent's divorce by hooking up with a hot guy who turns out to be an alien sent to bring her back to the mothership? Much more likely to get pages requested. Oh, and make sure the hook comes early in the book. Like the first page.No more backstory. The great thing about middle grade and young adult books is that they don't fool around. We don't want to see two pages on how the light is falling in the room as the sun sets over the dunes. We don't care. Get to the juicy stuff and make it quick. You might also want to rethink that prologue. Go ahead and write it if you must. Then delete it.Get rid of the cliches. Does your book start with a dream? With a character looking in the mirror? Does she have a dangerous but attractive lab partner? Are one or more of the parents dead (okay, guilty as charged)? You need to brush up on your cliches because agents have seen them all. There are tons of great blog posts out there about the dreaded YA cliches - one of my favorites is by my pal Joelle Anthony (whose Restoring Harmony is a rockin' book).The rules are a pain, but worth following, at least for your first book. I know of what I speak. Just ask me about the contemporary/romance/thriller set during freshman year of college I wrote. It's awesome. And unsold.Agents get hundreds if not thousands of query and sample pages every month - don't give them a reason to reject you off the bat.On this date: In 1990, Henry and June is the first NC-17 rated film.
Great post--and so true! Once you're published and a solid producer, then yes. Of COURSE there are exceptions. And maybe some of your readers here are exceptions to the rules. But everybody still needs to know the rules! (Okay, babbling in a circle tonight. I think I'm done.)Thanks for the post!
Sometimes it's hard to hear, but it's all true. So often a writer is just desperate to get their story out, without asking themselves why, or for who. Whom. Anyway.Thanks for putting the message out there--
Thanks guys - I wish I'd listened to these things starting out. I'd have fewer 'practice' books under my belt.And Lisa, one of our emails got me thinking, but then I saw several posts/tweets in a row by people who were either writing college-age YA or books with upward of 300k words. Just something to keep in mind ;) And your book will be great in HS too.
