Blog Reboot
I have decided to reboot "Swim Against the Grain." New location, new name, new look. In other words, it's a new-and-improved version of this blog, only now I'll have my trusty sidekick iggi. Or am I iggi's sidekick...? No one will ever know.
As graduation from my MFA program creeps closer to the present, I have come to realize that this blog needs more structure, more focus, more direction. The new blog will feature regular weekly columns including book reviews, tips and news, a weekly writing challenge and more.
Thank you to all my readers for following my adventures and misadventures thus far. "Swim Against the Grain" will continue to exist on the web, but starting today I will be posting exclusively at the new location. Please join me at the new site: iggi & gabi.

Ordinary Genius
This book has given me the courage to try writing a little poetry of my own. OK, so most of the time, the poems morph into prose, but that's beside the point. What this book has done is open my eyes to the gracefulness of language, the beauty of gesture. I have fallen in love with language all over again.

She's the part of me who comes up with all the stories and makes me write them, often at imaginary-gunpoint. Whenever my mouth gets me into trouble, it's usually because iggi's out of control. She's the one who decides "today I don't want to write a serious post, I want to write a story about vicious bunnies." iggi doesn't *do* serious. Funny and silly... definitely. Even loopy sometimes. But not serious.
iggi is a curious creature, one of many moods and temperaments. Since her writerly inspiration is often tied to her moods, I've come up with a handy-dandy guide. The iggi-meter at right will let you know which iggi is around today.

Happy Foolery
My brother, sister and I were stuck in ski-school for the day with an instructor who was a total dope. He had no interest in teaching us anything and instead, brought his girlfriend along on the lesson so she could cut to the front of the lift lines with the class. Even worse, his girlfriend was one of those snow-bunnies who had no clue how to ski so our class had to wait at the lift while our skiing Casanova helped her up when she fell and guided her to the bottom of the run.
At lunch, we lost our patience. Even though the snow bunny had decided to call it a day and go home, we were still frustrated at having lost a whole morning of good skiing. So we decided to pull a prank. While our love-lorn Romeo went into the lodge to get a table, we grabbed his skis and poles and buried them in a snow bank. When he came out after lunch he went ballistic.
His precious skis! How could someone steal his amazing-top-of-the-line-super-expensive skis? He was even on the brink of calling the police to report them stolen. Worse yet, since the lodge where we had lunch was at the top of the mountain, how was he going to get back down? And his boss was seriously going to kill him for not finishing our lesson either.
In the end, we caved and gave him back his skis. We may have lost another half hour on the slopes while he threw the hissy-fit over his skis, but it was so totally worth it. At the very least, I don't think he ever brought his snow-bunny girlfriend on a lesson again.
In honor of April Fools, I'd like to know... what's the funniest/silliest/SO-most-worth-it prank you've ever pulled?
And in honor of it being the first day of the month: Rabbit rabbit!

A Bunny's Tail
Tuesday, March 23, 2010
God of Carnage
The play opens and already, the audience wants to know: how long until these characters lose it? Everyone seems so civil at first, except not. And then at a pivotal moment (courtesy of Ms. Liu's character Annette) and after that all bets are off.
This play is a great example of plot structure at work. The first section is restrained, though we know it's only a matter of time before these characters snap. Then there's the second section, when the civility quickly unravels. Finally, we get the last segment, where everyone--the characters and even the audience--is gasping for air, like kid retreating after a playground brawl.
One of the other elements I much enjoyed was how the writer (Yasmina Reza) doesn't feel the need to explain every detail. Annette's perpetual nausea, Michael's refusal to let Veronica have a drink. The story could have been heavy-handed and explained all these moments, but Reza holds back, and I think the play is stronger for it.
Overall, a great night out and a fabulous performance.

Beware the Ides of March
Soothsayer: Ay, Caesar, but not gone.
--Shakespeare (Julius Caesar III.i)
Some may find the Ides of March depressing. A death-day of sorts. I, however, find this day empowering, as a day when I can bite my thumb at all the naysayers to my writing life.
I try not to complain about writing or publishing, because generally, there isn't much to complain about. In Portuguese, there's a saying that roughly translates to: "If you run because you enjoy it, don't complain about being sore." Writing is sort of the same thing. If you feel the need to complain about it, then really you should ask yourself: why are you writing in the first place? If it's such a pain in your backside, why not take up something you like better? Like basket-weaving or ceramics.
Even the most upbeat and optimistic of writers, though, find themselves up against a wet blanket or worrywart once in a while. These are the people who pester you with irrelevant questions like: "When do you think you'll actually 'make it' as a writer" or "So, do you think your book could be the next Harry Potter" or, my favorite, "Why don't you stop this silliness and get yourself a real job."
Well, once a year, we writers get a special day when we can turn to these people and say:
E tu Brute?Today is that day. Enjoy it while you can because it only comes around once a year.
And to those writers out there who get soaked by wet blankets and just shake the water off, like a dog does after a bath: keep doing exactly what you're doing. Write on!

Happy Pi Day
This is the day when we celebrate that most beautiful of ratios, called Pi (AKA 3.141592...etc).
So tell your friends. Celebrate all things circular. And while you're at it, eat some pie.
p.s. Mark your calendars for five years from now because that will be Super Pi Day! Woot!

One Dot a Day
What if it's not really a dot, but a huge swamp of despair that seeps off the page and into your writing space and swallows up your floor, your furniture and everything around you? What if that swamp turns into an enormous black hole, a vortex of nothingness that eats up life as you know it until all that's left is you and a blank screen.
That's when it's time to smack some sense into myself.
Seriously, it's just one stupid dot, one tiny splotch of ink on the page that is my outline. It's just a dot. I can write a dot. That's, like, the size of punctuation. It's no biggie. Maybe I can't write a whole book today, but I can write a dot. I'll even throw in some words for good measure. And it doesn't even have to be a good dot at that. Just a dot.
Julia Cameron wrote in her book Supplies that when you run into a wall in your creativity, don't try going up over it. Instead, do what those characters in prison-break movies do: they make a hole under the wall and wriggle their way under.
So that's what I'm going to do. Just one tiny dot, and it can be a lousy dot while I'm at it. And maybe, just maybe, when I've written a handful of lousy dots, I'll have the beginnings of a real project.

Not a Jolly Holiday
First, it probably didn't help that I've seen the movie version a gazillion times and I was constantly comparing book Mary Poppins to Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins. While Mary Poppins in the movie is stern but kind, whimsical but sensible, Mary Poppins in the book is vain, mean and self-centered.
Second, the use of magic in the book seems somewhat backwards to me. In the movie, while she's sometimes reluctant to use magic, Mary Poppins makes wonderful things happen. The magic is a way for Mary Poppins to relate with the children: Jane and Michael. In the book on the other hand, she happens to have this magical thing about her but she constantly denies that anything magical has happened. Rather than the magic bringing Mary Poppins closer to the children, she uses it as a way to push the children away. Magic is supposed to be what makes Mary Poppins such a wonderful nanny, but book Mary Poppins seems reluctant to share her magical world with Jane and Michael.
Die-hard fans of the book may argue in favor of the book's superiority to the movie because it includes so many scenes and elements that the movie omits. A few examples:
- Only the two oldest Banks children appear in the movie. The book also includes two toddler twins: John and Barbara.
- Mary and the children go shopping and meet Maia, one of the Pleiades.
- Mary has a birthday party in the Zoo with the animals. The children attend.
- Mary takes the children around the world using a magic compass.
- The children and Mary go to Miss Corry's shop to buy gingerbread square.
In the end, I'm sorry to say that it would take a lot more than a spoonful of sugar to make this medicine go down.

This is Why I Love my Quill-Wielding Friends
Thankfully, I know a few writers who aren't afraid to talk some sense into me, no matter how much I hate to listen. It takes courage to talk someone down when they're approaching a writing precipice. But these are courageous folks and to them I'm so grateful.
Daily Quota
What I'm realizing, though, is that if I don't figure out a way to keep myself accountable, as soon as school is done and I have no more deadlines, I'm at risk for losing all writing discipline. This is why I've decided that I need to implement a daily quota regimen.
Here's how it's going to work: I write one dot per day. By this I mean, I write one scene (or group of small scenes) each day. No word quota but I'm shooting for at least 1K. The rules are as follows:
- Writing anything that's not my book is a bonus and won't count towards the quota.
- Outlines, character sketches, doodling, brainstorming, etc. don't count either.
- I get one day off per week. If I make it through a week without needing a day off I get double kudos.

Monkeys on my Shoulder
Here I am, writing away at my thesis and I've got these two monkeys on my shoulders. (Why monkeys? Check out the Infinite Monkey Theorem. It will make sense, really.) One monkey goes by the name Prudence, the other Maverick. They don't agree on anything, especially as regards my thesis.
Prue: Write something safe. Write something easy. Write something where you know you'll succeed.
Mav: Safe-schmafe. Write whatever makes you happy.
Prue: This isn't like workshop. You have to hand it in For Real and your graduation depends on it.
Mav: Who cares if what you hand in isn't great. The important thing is that you learn something, right?
This argument continues ad infinitum. The main point of contention always comes back to the issue of my POV characters. Prue thinks I should choose one protagonist and write just that side of my story--at least then I'll finish something. Mav says that the dual POV is more interesting, not to mention more fun.
The thing that really gets me, though, is that a lot of my readers (including my adviser) seem to be more in agreement with Prue and I'm siding with Mav. Which brings me to my dilemma:
If a writer decides not to follow a critique or piece of advice, is that hubris on the writer's part, or is that the writer being true to her vision?On one hand, I don't want to be that writer. You know the one--that's the writer who makes everyone read her stuff and give critiques, then completely ignores everything they say. Or worse, it's the writer who makes a point of defending his work against every critique point the group makes. All I know is, I've been on the "group" side of this equation and it stinks. Not to mention that the folks advising me to take the safe road may be totally right. They might see something I just can't see and I'd be committing thesis suicide if I don't listen. (This last part is Prue whispering in my ear.)
On the other hand. In my heart, I know I have a plan for this little book. It's taken until this weekend for this plan to fully crystallize , but it has, and it now means writing the story according to my "artistic vision." (Besides, as Mav puts it, this way's much more exciting.) But it might also mean that I careen off the road altogether and end up in a ravine.
So, my question is: Can anyone explain what the difference is between ego and artistic vision when rejecting a critique? This is really important because I need to know which one I have.
Also, does anyone have any monkey repellent?

Getting Over It
Then there's the additional problem of how poetry often intersects with pretension. Sure, not all poetry is hoity-toity, intellectual-with-a-capital-I, but it's a lot easier to sound smart when you analyze poetry than it is, say, when you discuss sci-fi YA thriller. With poetry you can use fancy terms like "post-modern" or "onomatopoeia" and be embraced by other verse lovers. Try doing a post-modern analysis of a picture book and you'll get a lot of eye-rolls. In short, poetry lets you get away with acting literary.
This reminds me of the poetry unit we did in high school. My English teacher--a brilliant woman who made my college professors look like wimps by comparison--relied on Socratic method so if she called on you, you'd better have something smart to say or you were toast. If our analysis of the assigned text was not up to snuff, she'd pace around the room shaking her head and muttering "pearls to swine... pearls to swine..." And every time she was about to say something truly ingenious and life-changing, she would rap her bony knuckles on the blackboard and say "Ladies. Pearls of wisdom are spewing from my lips. Write them down!"
Which brings me to the point of this post: lately, I've also become oddly obsessed with poetry. I've been reading it compulsively (which I never did before) and even--dare I say it?--trying my hand at it a little. I know that nothing good will come of this clandestine love affair with language, but I keep at it all the same. It's kind of like watching a scary movie... I know it's going to make me scream, but I can't bring myself to switch the channel.
I'm sure you're wondering what has made me reconsider my aversion to verse. That's easy. It was this poem: Introduction to Poetry by Billy Collins.
I'm not going to beat poems with stick until they bleed meaning and metaphor. While I'm at it, I'll stop taking poetry and literature and myself SO seriously. I'm going to have a little fun.

Book as Experience--Week 3: Space, Part 2
In design, there are two basic approaches to representing an object in three dimensions: isometric perspective and vanishing point perspective. While objects appear "3D" regardless of which perspective we use, there is one key difference between the two approaches.
In isometric perspective, size remains constant regardless of how near or far away an object is. This type of perspective is especially useful in drafting, where measurements and distances must be precise. Below is an example of a cube shown in isometric perspective. Notice that while our eyes recognize it as a cube (all sides are equal in size=the definition of a cube), the three-dimensionality looks a little "off."
In vanishing point perspective, on the other hand, objects appear smaller if they are farther away. Look at the cube in vanishing point perspective below. Notice how the sides of the cube appear to be different sizes, the closer they are to the vanishing points, yet our eye still reads the cube as a cube (i.e. we perceive all the sides to be equal size). In fact, this perspective appears more "real" to us than does the isometric perspective, where sizes remain constant.
How does this concept translate to writing? Three words: Point of View (POV).
Writers talk a lot about POV. There are tons of fancy labels you can memorize: first-person peripheral, third-person limited, omniscient, objective... the list is endless. Books on writing dedicate entire chapters to defining and understanding all these categories.
Thing is, when we get hung up on 1st-person versus 3rd-person, omniscient versus limited, it's like we're looking at the world of our story in isometric perspective. Sure, it looks 3D but there's something rigid about that doesn't feel quite right. This is where Narrative Distance comes in.
Narrative Distance (or Psychic Distance, as John Gardner called it in The Art of Fiction) is "the distance the reader feels between himself and the events in the story." Gardener uses the following examples of third-person narrations with varying levels of distance.
- It was winter of the year 1853. A large man stepped out of a doorway.
- Henry J. Warburton had never much cared for snowstorms.
- Henry hated snowstorms.
- God, how he hated these damn snowstorms.
Zoom Lens Exercise (inspired by an exercise from Now Write! Ed. by Sherry Ellis): Select a short section of narration from your current project (2-3 paragraphs should do the trick). Now rewrite it three times, keeping it always in third person. The first time, zoom in so close, you can practically see your protagonist's pores and skin cells. The second time, zoom out and give us a bird's-eye view of the protagonist and her world. Finally, choose a middle ground between these two extremes.
[Note: if you want to make it really challenging for yourself, try doing this in 1st person. I would advise against trying this exercise in 2nd person, unless you feel like giving yourself a migraine.]
Questions to Consider:
- What kind of information does the reader have access to when you're in birds-eye-view mode? What about in pores-and-skin-cells mode?
- Which of the three variations in narrative distance did you find most challenging? Which came easiest?
- Who's telling the story in each of the 3 versions? Who's the audience? Do either of these things change as narrative distance changes? Why or why not?
Axiom #3: If POV is the telescope through which we view a story, narrative distance is the lens that pulls the image into focus.

Funny Valentine--A Contest!
Maybe it's because I've been hit with a case of the sillies, or maybe it's because I've always found Valentine's Day to be the lamest, stupidest, most idiotic holiday ever invented, or maybe it's because deep-down, I secretly want someone to send me a valentine after all...
Regardless of the reason, I've decided today is the day to start my first contest and the category is: Funny Valentine!
- Who gets to play? You, that's who.
- What do you have to do? Write a silly valentine from one fictional character to another. Originally, I was going to limit it to children's book characters but now I've decided to leave it open. Go wild, go crazy. TV characters, movie characters, comic book characters... they're all fair game. The only "rule" is that the characters must be fictional.
- When is all this craziness going down? Between now and Valentine's Day (submissions close at 11:59pm EST on Feb 14th). I'll select the winner using the very scientific method of pulling a name out of a hat
- Where do you send your valentine? Post it as a comment to this post, so we all can read it and have some giggles.
- Why? Now there's the rub. Maybe it's because you too have been feeling a wee bit silly lately. Or perhaps you agree that Valentine's day is the lamest, stupidest, most idiotic holiday ever invented. Or maybe you're in the mood to send a silly valentine. Oh, wait... you mean prizes... Alas, there won't be fame and there won't be fortune, but I can promise some good ol'-fashioned fun. And you'll be crowned Grand Poobah of Funny Valentines.

Book as Experience--Week 2: Space, Part 1
Gabi's Tension-Expectation Theorem: Tension =
When we write, we establish patterns for the reader. These patterns--if repeated enough times--will raise the reader's expectations. When we raise expectations but then turn around and give the reader something she wasn't expecting, we create tension.
And Here's a Corollary: There are no accidents in writing. If you're going to create tension, do it with intent.
This Theorem will come up again and again as we look at "Book as Experience." The writing techniques we will discuss are all tools we can use to raise the reader's expectations, and break these expectations if we so choose.
Which brings us to our first technique...
Today's Topic: Space (Part 1: Positive and Negative Space)
In design, we talk about positive space and negative space. These are not value judgments; positive space does not mean space that it is "good" and negative space does not mean "bad" space. Rather, positive and negative space refer to the space occupied by an object versus the space around the object.
Positive Space: This is the space occupied by the object.
Negative Space: The space around an object. Note that by looking at the space around the object, you can gain information about the object itself.
A great example of positive and negative space at play, of course, is the faces/vase picture (shown below). Do you see two white silhouettes on a black background or a black vase in front of a white background? It all depends on which object is the positive space and which is negative space. Notice also that it is virtually impossible to see both as positive space at the same time. In order to see the vase, you have to let the faces disappear into the background, and to see the faces, the vase must become negative space.
At this point, you're probably thinking: "Thanks for the design lesson, Gabi, but can we get to the writing now?" Here's the thing: whenever we write a story, we have to take positive and negative space into account. Think of the positive space as the space occupied by the story; this means the negative space encompasses all the other "stuff" that never makes it into the story proper. As writers, we need to be ever conscious about the interplay between positive and negative "story space," making active decisions as to what we will include and what we will leave out.
Axiom #2: Negative space can tell you as much about your story as does positive space.
Rosencrantz-&-Guildenstern-Are-Dead Exercise: (A study in positive and negative space)Select a minor character from your story. It doesn't matter which character it is, as long as it is not the POV character. Follow this character "off stage" and write a short scene (2-3 pages). The idea here is to examine the negative space around your story with an eye to better understanding the story itself.
As for the Theorem from the beginning of this post, when we write a piece, we establish rules for the reader regarding the positive and negative space of the story. If, however, we flip the positive and negative space, this creates tension for the reader. If we pull this swap artfully, we can create conflict and increase the reader's interest, but if we are not careful this type of switch can confuse the reader and be disastrous to our story.
The key is to understand how positive and negative space work and make them work for you.

He's Just Not that Into You
In the movie, the protagonist Gigi realizes that the reason guys weren't calling her back or asking her on a second date was not because of some bizarre male dating strategy she must decode. The ugly truth was: they just weren't all that into her. The movie's title, based on a line of dialogue from Sex in the City, becomes a mantra for Gigi as she makes her way through the ups and downs of dating.
So what does the mantra "He's just not that into you" have to do with writing? Well, oftentimes, I find myself getting obsessed about the craziness of writing... and eventually getting published. How is it that a story I wrote "on the fly" gets accepted for publication within 24 hours but another story I've polished for months keeps getting rejected. Conspiracy theories immediately pop up in my twisted mind. This is when I reread a passage from one of my favorite books on writing: Make Your Words Work by Gary Provost.
According to Provost, if you're not writing well enough to get published, then you are not qualified to judge the merit of your own work. "The writing's just not good enough" is the aspiring writer's version of "He's just not that into you." Sounds harsh, I know, but this concept is actually very liberating.
In Provost's own words:
"If I told you that your writing is fine, but that the peculiarities of editors and other machinations of the publishing world have conspired to leave you out, I would be telling you that there is no hope... But I'm telling you that constant rejection means you are not writing well enough yet, and that means you have control of the situation. You, not them. All you have to do is work harder and study more and keep an open mind about your writing. Be persistent, be humble, and be curious, and your writing dreams will come true."
In other words: the publishing world isn't out to get you, or me, or any of us writers. It's just that the writing's not all that good enough. Yet.
The only thing you have to do is make it better.

Ode to Nemo and Fifi
Who fell for a poodle so pretty.
They cuddled and napped
Until one day he snapped
And he bit her without any pity.

Book as Experience--Week 1: Devices
Today's Topic: Devices. Literary devices are perhaps one of the easiest ways to superimpose an experience on a book or story. Using a non-traditional format (diary, play, screenplay, letters, journalism, etc.) the author can alter how the reader interacts with the story.
Exercise: Select a character, situation and prop at random (or using our handy-dandy booklet). Write a 1-2 page piece in a nontraditional format, using a literary device of your choice. Literary devices can include (but are not limited to) poetry, epistolary form (letters), journal/diary format, song lyrics, play or screenplay, an interview, etc.
Questions to Consider:
- How does the author create a unique reading/listening experience for the reader/audience?
- What is this experience?
- How does the literary device play a role in creating this experience?
- How does this piece redefine what it means to "read"?
- Does the format of the piece force the reader/listener to adopt a particular role in relationship to the text? (Audience, voyeur, investigator, etc?) If so, what is this role?
Axiom #1: Stories are not just written or told, they are designed.
Book as Experience--Introduction
But now down to business. This week I began a mini-lecture series for my writing group. This lecture series sprung out of a term paper I wrote last semester on the idea of Book as Experience. I've designed several different mini-lessons, along with companion writing exercises that illustrate them. As my group meets weekly on Tuesdays, I will be posting my lesson notes on the blog after our meetings.
Today I kick off this sequence of posts. Check in every Tuesday for a new post and writing exercises.

New Year, New Decade, New Goals
Then I read the latest post (Hello, New Year) by fellow writer and blogger, Ghenet, and it inspired me. So this year instead of making resolutions, I will set a few specific goals. Goals are good. I can do goals. They're specific. Compact. Manageable.
Goals for 2010:
- Yarn Diet. Yes, it's that time of year when I need to stop acquiring more yarn than I can knit. Yarn diet works on one simple principle: before I'm allowed to get new yarn, I must complete a project of equal size and scope and either gift the item or find room for it in my closet. Easy right? Considering I have upwards of a dozen half-finished projects right now, I'm not sure "easy" is the right word.
- Writing. The idea is to start by writing 500 words of something every day. Once this starts to feel easy, I'll gradually increase the number by 100 words until I've come to 2,000 per day (which is the actual goal).
- Blogging. This blog needs a schedule. The idea of "blogging whenever I can" makes it too easy for me to procrastinate and leave the blogging for tomorrow. I need figure out a schedule and give myself deadlines so that my posting stops being so erratic.
- Healthy Decisions. I'm resorting to self-bribery on this one. I know myself and I'm fully aware that eating right and exercising is not going to happen if I do it just for the sake of "being healthy." So from now on, every time I make a healthy decision (choose a healthy food option, go to the gym or running, walk instead of taking the subway, etc.) I can take one coin from my loose change and put it in my piggy bank. This bank is my yarn fund and it trumps the yarn diet.
But that's the point of these New Year's goals after all; I only need to worry about one thing at a time.

If you would prefer to dip your fingers in a pot of fragrant, cloud-like, whip - to squeezing out a cold, handful of mass-produced shampoo - this is the product for you, in this or any other of FP's glorious scents. Does great things for my hair and operates beautifully as soap or shaving foam.

Absolutely in love with this brand. Smells just as it says & leaves skin feeling soft & scent lingers on the skin for some time afterwards. Very little product is needed to get a great lather. Highly recommend.

Johnston Press, embroiled in a prolonged Competition Commission inquiry into a buy-up of six free newspapers, will not have to face another when it swallows up the UK's fifth biggest regional group, Regional Independent Media, for £560m in April.
The Department of Trade and Industry gave consent for the deal as long ago as November 2000, after an inquiry into a Johnston bid in partnership with Newsquest and Guardian Media Group. That consent was renewed a year later but the consortium bid for titles including the Yorkshire Post and five evening news-
papers was abortive.
Johnston chief executive Tim Bowdler told Press Gazette: "We started talking to RIM in the middle of last year, separately from the consortium.
"We had reached a point where it was clear to all of us that the consortium was unlikely to be successful.
"We had exclusivity. We did extensive due diligence and we were close to doing a deal when September 11 intervened. The stock market fell out of bed and our share price went down to 239p, so we had to kill the deal.
"It wasn't until late January that we felt confident enough to resume discussions." Bowdler, who didn't get to bed until 3.30am on Tuesday when the deal closed, said it will extend his company's share of the regional newspaper market to 14.3 per cent, up from 9 per cent.
Bowdler commented: "RIM is a great fit with us. We publish in Yorkshire and RIM is a natural complement geographically extending into Lancashire." RIM's Scottish titles will also fit a company whose first paper was published in Scotland in the 18th century.
Johnston has applied for consent to buy RIM's recently-acquired Scottish titles. If it doesn't come in time for the deal deadline on 12 April, it will leave the titles with RIM and try again later. Johnston turned in good results last year, with profits before tax and exceptionals rising to £73.6m from £65.5m in 2000.
Bowdler says Johnston is not about to sell or close any RIM titles nor make big redundancies.
"We are buying fabulous newspaper titles. We are not buying them to strip them but to invest and build on a strong portfolio.
"Keeping the journalistic resource in place is part of that," he stated.
RIM chief executive Chris Oakley says he has mixed feelings about the deal. He would have liked to take the company to flotation.
"But we are venture capital-backed. Venture capitalists look for an exit and if they have got to choose between the certainty of a good offer now and the uncertainty of the markets in a year's time, it's pretty tempting to take the money," he said. Whatever our personal feelings might have been, this is the best exit for investors."
Oakley is to continue to work with those backers, Candover, looking for opportunities for them in media in Europe. But he says he will not retire or sever his links with newspapers.
l In three of RIM's centres, Wakefield, Leeds and Preston, journalists are balloting on industrial action over pay.

Early sockeye numbers were blown out of the water this weekend, as what started off as a closed fishery, opened up on the weekend with surprisingly good results.
Sport fishing advisory board member Bob Cole said more than 200,000 sockeye have gone thorough the counters at Stamp Falls, and he expects DFO will double their run size estimate this week.
Returns were strong enough to allow First Nations gillnetters onto the river to fish for food, but their is no commercial sales agreement in place yet.
Cole said anglers were getting their 2 fish limits quickly ahead of today's commercial gillnet opening and an expected seiner opening later this week.

The one day it rained during our week in San Juan, we decided to check out Plaza Las Americas, one of San Juan's largest shopping centers. Instead of being holed up in the hotel room, the concierge I spoke to recommended the mall or a few museums nearby. Complete with a large indoor movie theater showing the latest stateside releases, a number of eateries, and a number of unique stores (some found only in Puerto Rico), I was more than happy to check it out. The mall opens pretty early at 9:00am and closes at 9:00pm, so there's more than enough time to start on the retail therapy. Just bring your wallet and appetite, in case you're up for something to eat indoors.
What I particularly liked about the mall was its unique moving sculptures in the main drag that served as the focal point of the area. My son was completely fascinated with the manatee with its moving arms and the people tossing pennies in the fountain. Walking around the three levels of the mall, you'll also find beautiful colored hanging sculptures and decorative mosaics on the floor. The interior is wide, spacious, and adorned with bright Caribbean colors to uplift your visual senses. It isn't drab or monochromatic like some of the malls I've visited in the U.S. As for its stores, you'll find some favorites such as Sephora, Gap, Banana Republic, and Build-A-Bear Workshop for the kiddies. However, it's worth looking at some of the local stores such as Pequena Ola, Ilori, or Valija Gitana. Also unique to Plaza Las Americas are some of the fast food eateries located in different points of the shopping center. Instead of having one major food court, a number of vendors are scattered in a few of the wings or galas, making it more convenient for the hungry shoppers who don't need to move towards one area for food. We ended up at the Deli Cuisine for some fast home cooked mom and pop Puerto Rican food, just because I wasn't tempted to try anything that resembled food from back home (i.e., pizza, Mexican, Japanese, American, etc.).
Plaza Las Americas is certainly a worthwhile shopping excursion, but don't forget to support the local boutiques and stores outside of the shopping center. If you need to pick up souvenirs, I would skip shopping at the mall, since mall prices are comparable to those back in the States. Also, I didn't recall seeing a store dedicated to just Puerto Rican souvenirs, but if you must shop for something, definitely spend it at one of the non-U.S. brand shops. After all, you can get that same T-shirt at the Old Navy store back home, so you're better off buying that unique sunglasses from Ilori. A big plus to the mall is its central location in San Juan and accessibility for the tourists; there are taxi stands outside the main area and easy bus routes to take you to and from the hotel. The cab fare from the Condado area to Plaza Las Americas will cost you $10. Also, try to grab some fresh fruit from the vendors selling them, since they're absolutely delicious.

Today happens to be one of the cutest holiday's all year long!It may not have a big following, it may not even have any decorations associated with it, but Groundhog Day is simply the most darling holiday because of this little guy…
Legend say's the groundhog will either emerge from its hole on a sunny day, see its shadow, get scared, and hide leaving us with six more weeks of winter, or it will emerge on a cloudy day, see nothing noteworthy and predict an early spring.
Celebrate in style with a special dessert this evening!
- Milano Cookies
- Sliced Almonds
- Melted Chocolate
- Peanut Butter Chips
- Chocolate Pudding
- Oreos
- Begin with some Milano cookies. Use sliced almonds for the ears. Dig through the bag to find a good pair and then slice them in half the short way.
- My glue of choice is usually melted chocolate. They work even better than the Ziploc Bag method and if you have extra chocolate, just store it in the bag for next time! Next, grab a bag of peanut butter chips and cut the little tips off. Glue the chip "cheeks" onto your groundhog with chocolate. Next pipe a little nose and two eyes. I used white chocolate to pipe in some teeth.
- Next, mix up some pudding. I divided four 4-serving boxes among 12 cups.
- Add some "dirt" with crushed Oreos.
Place your groundhogs in the cup and see what happens! Winter will surely last longer than these fun little desserts. Whether or not the groundhog sees it shadow this year, I am voting for more snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The year is 2070 and the Earth is battered, bruised and broken. Mankind has ultimately failed as stewards of the planet and humanity is basically screwed. This is the setting for Anno 2070 a game from Related Designs and Ubisoft Blue Byte. As a long time Civilization fan Anno first caught my eye in a TV commercial which featured its interesting art style and Civ-like gameplay. However I knew very little about the other games in the series and considering all the great games being released this fall/winter it quickly slipped my mind….that is until I saw it on Steam. Anno has been the first game of the many game purchases I've made this season that was able to grab me away from Skyrim and here is why.
Anno 2070 unlike most games in its genre takes place in the future where most games visit humanities past. And unlike most games set in the future it takes place on Earth instead of some obscure world. This is a large part of the games appeal. Showing us a version of Terra Firma which has been ravaged by climate change (Regardless of one's stance on the issue) creates a well established link between the player and the game universe. Also the games main factions and their different takes on the issue threatening civilization cover both extremes of the climate change issue in very realistic ways. On the one hand you have the Eden Initiative who focuses on more environmentally conscious policies. On the other hand corporations (Much like Cockroaches) are alive and well in 2070. The Global Trust focuses on the exploitation of Earth's remaining resources for profit and is far less concerned with sustainability. There is also a third faction the S.A.A.T which can be earned during gameplay and stands to augment the other two factions with technology that falls in between the two extremes.
Anno 2070 has a variety of gameplay modes and most of it is what you'd expect. Campaign, Continuous (Which is a sandbox and can be configured for whatever you're in the mood for.) make an appearance. There are also a few less common game modes and some online functionality that I will get into more detail with in a minute.
First up are the Campaign/Continuous modes: This is pretty standard fare really. The campaign I found was a bit short and frankly played as a rather longwinded tutorial for continuous and multi-player modes. I thought it was interesting that the designers made the choice to have the city you made in the first level of the campaign carry directly through for the rest of the campaigns act. This is a cool feature, and I won't deny it bothered me a bit in other games when I'd build a base in a level only to have it look completely different in the cut-scenes. However this is a double edged sword it is entirely likely that poor city planning will come back to bite you in the ass. So be careful where you put things. This is just as true in Continuous play games.
Now I want to talk a bit about what really struck me with Anno 2070, the online community. Anno 2070 has a bunch of cool features which help to keep the game fresh and add a bunch of post purchase value. First up we have the voting which asks players to vote on which faction they want to support in the game universes fictional Senate. Supporting one faction over the other will give the player different advantages based on which faction they support. There is also a similar system for voting on which of the three faction leaders will be chosen as World Leader. The winning faction will provide benefits to all players regardless of faction support. So if the Eden Initiative leader wins all players get his benefit regardless of who you voted for.
There is also one more online feature which I'm a big fan of which are Daily and World Events. Daily Events are exactly what they sound like. Every day the game will present players with a single new standalone mission that can be played as any of the factions and provides faction specific benefits when completed. Less frequently there will be World Events which are missions that occur on a much larger scale and supposedly will effect the story. These missions also have voiceover and animations which make them similar to campaign missions. I think Ubisoft did well with these two features as they add a lot of stuff to a game I would have considered far too short if left out. The one drawback of this system is an internet connection and Uplay accounts are required to gain these benefits. This is slightly offset with the ability to play the main game offline. (A feature which was not included in previous Anno games.)
Anno 2070 is not for the feint of heart as building an island empire to save humanity is no easy task. You are dropped on the map with nothing but your Ark and a Shipyard and it is up to you to place homes, industries, power plants, and defend them from enemies. Expanding across to other islands on the map only adds to the challenge and that's before you consider trading with other factions and gaining access to the tech faction to augment your own faction's forces/industries. A single Anno 2070 game will take somewhere between 3-5 hours. There is enough depth to the game that taking a faction from a few houses to a multi-island spanning empire with more then a dozen underwater cities (High-tech Atlantis FTW) is a satisfying feeling… even if you had to forgo food, sleep and matters of personal hygiene to get there.
However 2070 is not perfect. The music in the game starts off as pleasantly ambient. But with such a few gameplay tracks in a game you're playing for hours on end these quickly got dropped for more entertaining songs from my iTunes library. Also With so much depth comes a certain degree of frustration if you make the mistake of diving into the continuous mode before completing the campaign. But in such a game with such depth this is understandable as no tutorial could cover the multitude aspects adequately. And in-game data-logs provided by your A.I assistant EVE ensure you're not completely in the dark.
All in I think Anno 2070 is a triumph for the series. The game is beautiful, has tons of replay value and is addicting as all hell. If you're looking for a strategy game with some light RTS elements this holiday season you could do far worse then Anno 2070.. Maybe make a playlist first.
Presentation: 7.5– The menus and user interface are confusing at first and the game never takes the time to explain them. But once you get the hang of them they add quite nicely to the atmosphere of the game.
Graphics: 9.0– Easily one of the most beautiful strategy games I've played. The detail when zooming in is staggering as little people, drones and hover-cars zip around the city your creating with the occasional wild animals and planes for good measure. Ubisoft did not skimp here!
Sound: 7.0-As mentioned above I found the lack of tracks a bit of a disappointment, however the voice over work is high quality and that at least makes up for the music.
Gameplay: 9.0– It should come with an illegal substance warning. Deep, utterly absorbing and will keep you crawling back for more.
Replay Value: 8.0– The Campaign is a little short and really gives you no incentive to come back to it. This is countered at least for the moment by the online modes and the fact that continuous mode can keep you hooked for the better part of your life all by itself.

Each mattress has its benefits and drawbacks. All you need to do will be to choose one that matches you the most. Selecting a low-cost bed with the prime is not unachievable once you know the key.
First and foremost, go to the best source for bedding. Besides heading for the bed division of a shop, you possibly can straight away visit mattress factory showroom or perhaps a vendor. Often, they give you more choices and inexpensive prices in comparison to retailers. You can also find cheap beds online. Just like factory showrooms and sellers, online suppliers offer lower prices if in comparison with merchants. A lot of them even supply zero cost transport service when your house is within the surrounding area of their stockroom. A way less traditional idea is usually to try to look for second-hand bedding. Not all individuals agree to this approach, but if you are on an exceedingly rigid budget, you will find a quality previously owned mattresses in the marginal rate. If you happen to be worried about cleanliness, you can always steam clean the mattress to remove spots and irritants.
After choosing the best destination to get a mattress, you must explore the choices available. Look at the cloth, dimensions, shape, and price tag on the bedding. Make a list of the pros and cons of each one item to help you evaluate them quickly. Remember to keep in mind, it may not always be relating to the make, but it's about the relaxation the mattress provides.

Memory foam beds are very widespread these days. They provide your body far better support as compared to spring mattresses do. They provide help to always keep your backbone aligned and supply good support. If you have difficulties with back problems you will seriously want to consider obtaining this sort of mattress. Another valuable thing about the memory foam bed is it is protected in non-allergenic together with anti-microbial cloth, which is a help should you have extremely sensitive skin or if you could have inhaling conditions like asthma. The only negative aspect of memory foam mattresses is that they get quite warm when you are relaxing all this may cause you to rise uncomfortably warm.

Well this is a new one..
It's been reported that Katie Price is back in contact with her former fiance Leandro Penna after the break down of her marriage with Kieran Hayler.
The pair who were engaged for six months back in 2012 are apparently back in contact with one and other as a source has said to Close Magazine:
"She's been in touch with Leandro. He got in contact when he heard about her mum, and they've been speaking regularly.
"They met up in Miami earlier this year and she told him what was going on in her marriage too. She's fond of him."
The pair broke up when Leandro told The Sun that Katie had spent the night at Simon Cowell's house and that's when he broke the engagement off.

Claremont has been around since 1907 and pioneered many important developments in social care and development. These included programmes in the 1920's and 30's which became models for the Welfare State, one of the first child care services for working women, and even free acting classes as a route out of poverty.
The building was originally built as a Christian mission attached to the rear of the main church building (which is now The Crafts Council building on Pentonville Road).

The Claremont United Reformed Church (URC), who own the freehold of the Claremont building, no longer continues to meet weekly in one of the halls but passed the baton of charitable work, and responsibility for the entire building in a generous lease, over to the charity in 1998 (Reg. Charity No.1070611).
The charity's constitution is secular and the charity is independent of the church. There is however provision for two church representatives to sit on the board.

Claremont's new vision started to emerge in response and reaction to institutionalized services and day centres. Who would want to go to a "day centre", we asked, and what kinds of things would they feel about themselves if they did? With so many day centres and community centres, why were so many older people still sitting alone at home?
We wanted Claremont to be a place that we ourselves would want to visit as customers/clients and to which we would like to invite our friends and acquaintances. We wanted to be different from places where staff members, in unequal relationships, create neediness, anxiety and dependence on the part of their clients by being the rescuer or "concerned sympathetic ear". Equally we didn't want to be a place defined by rules and regulations and the unwritten dogma of small established cliques.
Below: 1960's Lunch Club in the Old Hall
We believed that people, especially those feeling themselves to be in real need, were often both profoundly under-served and also sometimes ready to let themselves be defined as being "ill" or "marginal". We wanted to help change that and develop a place where individual personal expression, exploration, responsibility and change were central and would help forge real relationships and real communities. Central to that, for us, was the general notion of creativity.
One of the first Claremont examples of the enormous positive impact that being creative can have came about in a puppet making group (the participant's name has been changed to preserve privacy):
Henry, aged in his late seventies, had always been very withdrawn, rarely saying anything to anybody. A widower, he had no friends and no remaining family. Henry was encouraged to take part in a drama and puppet workshop. I will never forget walking past their group one morning and hearing him cry out with all his might, ´I love you!´ Henry was speaking through a puppet he had made. It was as though a dam had burst for him – he started talking passionately about so many of the things he had been bottling up. Since then, Henry has found a new voice, has made several friends at the centre and takes an active role in social activities. There is no doubt in my mind that that class and follow up sessions have facilitated radical improvements in Henry's enjoyment of and involvement in living.
Being creative, striving for and inventing meaning, even in the face of meaninglessness, is something that gives us a special sense of our humanity. It is a reaching beyond ourselves, a cry, and a celebration of being alive. It is a process that is open to all, regardless of age, language, cultural background, skill, class, wealth or physical ability and without it we are diminished as human beings. Although deeply personal, it is also an activity that can be profoundly social, engendering social cohesion, inclusion and development.
Life is rich with possibility and choices. Life also faces us with our own limitations. Sometimes we can have debilitating difficulty with these possibilities, choices and limitations. At other times we may perhaps move artfully through crises. How we respond defines who we are, who we can become. Claremont is about people exploring and discovering their personal, social and spiritual worlds and through such exploration, discovering or recovering their sense of personal meaning and agency as well as their connectedness with others.
