Linux mint_Tellico1.3.5
Dear Robby,
i'm a complete newbie in this part of the forest. On installing Linux Mint (Helena) I found Tellico 1.3.5 and gave it a try, since I have a biggish (greater than 1K vols) library.
Having wandered round the forums and then found 2.1.1 and your notes about bug fixes, I uploaded it
to my Mint installation but can't seem to get it to install. Now I find that 2.2 is available.
My questions are:-
1) is 2.2 a better bet than 2.1.1?
2) having quite a chunk of data in 1.3.5, how do I protect that time investment while trying to get 2.2 installed and up and running, please?
Thank you for all your work on what seems to me to be a useful piece of software.
Hamish Wilson (email@example.com)
Re: Linux Mint
1) Version 2.2 has some fixes and improvements that version 2.1.1 doesn't have.
2) To backup your data file from Tellico 1.3.5, go to File->Export->Zip and make sure to include images. Then you can install a newer version and not worry about losing data.
Keep in mind that Tellico 2 is a KDE4 application, and Tellico 1.3.5 runs on KDE3. It's hard to tell what the current version of Tellico in the Linux Mint repositories is
I would really recommend trying the current package in the repository over trying to compile it yourself at the moment.
Preset table column entries
Up until a week or so ago I was able to open a new record in a custom Tellico file and see some predefined entries occupying the first column of a table field. I achieved this by putting the following as the 'Default value' in setting up the field:
Enter stats; Send index; Send invoice; Respond to feedback; Enter on website
However, this no longer seems to work and what I see now is a string of all the predefined entries occupying the top left-hand cell of the table. Is there some new delimiter which will have the effect I want now or has this feature been lost?
Otherwise Tellico is a fantastic program and I am delighted with it.
Thanks and regards,
Jon Jermey
Re: Preset table column entries
Hi Jon,
You're right. I changed the character used internally for row separation, in order to support having multiple values in a single cell. Tellico now uses the "Line Separator" character, U+2028. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to tell you to type that in as part of a default value. It depends on your text input settings.
Here's how I ended up doing it. I just pasted the character from emacs. :) In emacs, typing 'Alt-x ucs-insert' and then entering '2028' (without the quotes) gives me a weird looking character. I pasted that in the default box for the field, and that seemed to work.
You can probably find several other ways of doing. Sorry to have caused this inconvenience, it shouldn't ever change again. :)

Are You Being Undercheesed? January 1, 2012Posted by bobv451 in business, e-books, End of the World, movies & TV, sci-fi, serial fiction, steampunk, VIPub, westerns, writing.
That's what an ad for a pizza joint asked me. I had never considered life in those terms, perhaps because I drop in on Cheese Magnet regularly. But "undercheesed?" If so, I need to watch more cheesy sf movies. (I did watch This Island Earth last night and no, it is not a cheesy movie. It's pretty decent and one year Santa will bring me an interocitor.)
I doubt the world will end, but watching Dick Clark's Rockin' NY last night made me think it is possible. Poor ole Dick looked like a zombie. Any year that begins with Lady Gaga and Michael Bloomberg co-pressing the lever to drop the ball already has 2 strikes against it. My option was watching "Hair Removal at Home" on Ch 2. Or watching metaluna monsters menace Faith Domergue.
The year is already filling with projects. Have 2 westerns under contract, have agreed to take part in a Western Fictioneers project of a story collection set in Dogleg, Kansas and have lots of other projects begging to be done. No lack of work. Now all I need are sales, so pitch in, everyone, do your part, feed those e-readers you got for Christmas.
I have a small window of opportunity to work on the first of the Empires of Steam and Rust stories so will cut this short. Already up to 15k words in the "First Passage" and just getting into the plot after introducing the situation, the bad guy and the two good guys. And the compressed-air powered dog, Fulton.
Off to see if yet another brick and mortar bookstore has bitten the dust. I leave you with this snarky cartoon hope for 2012.

Quilt Row 3-Square 6-Brenda Myers/
Row 3
Square 6
December 24, 1943 – June 6, 2005
A wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend left this world on June 6, 2005 as the result of a stroke and brain aneurysm. She gave so much of herself throughout her life that it seemed so natural for her to make the decision to be an organ donor, a decision that she made in the late seventies. She was always extremely adamant about her wishes to be a donor, so when the time came for her family to be questioned about donating her organs, the decision had already been made by her. Brenda's family is very proud to know that her liver, kidneys, and corneas went to five different recipients in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Mexico, and they are very sure that she would be pleased as well.
Brenda was born and raised in Lake Arthur, LA. She was the daughter of Austin and Mary Abshire. In 1960, she married Phil Myers and they spent most of their lives in Louisiana and Texas. They had three children, Philip, Mitchell, and Nadine. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and being Granny was her favorite job. She truly adored Blake, Austin, Lydia, Maeve, and Sean, and the feeling was (and still is) very mutual. She never met a stranger, and touched the lives of everyone she ever got to know.
Her square contains a smiling sun because she loved teaching and singing the song "You are My Sunshine" to her children and especially to her grandchildren. It also has a willow tree because this was a tree that she loved and after her death, her family planted a weeping willow tree in her memory. The praying hands and the cross symbolize her strong faith and her belief in God and prayer. The lavender color of the fabric was chosen because other than black (which was her favorite), it was a shade that she liked.

Thumbs up, thumbs down: Clemson vs. Georgia Tech
Ray-Ray McCloud: The sophomore looks like a totally different player from last season as he is playing with more confidence and appears quicker. He led the Tigers with eight catches for 101 yards and added 17 yards on punt returns.
Cornell Powell: The true freshman had a bit of a coming out party with five grabs for 44 yards, including a critical sliding third-down grab in the first half to keep a drive alive.
Dorian O'Daniel: He continued his streak of playing well against Georgia Tech with nine tackles including two tackles for loss. He was all over the field in the first half with six stops in the first two quarters.
Brent Venables: Clemson's defensive coordinator should offer a clinic on stopping the triple option. In the past two seasons he has held Paul Johnson's rushing attack to less than 100 yards.
Running game: The Tigers totaled 138 rushing yards on 38 carries, with star running back Wayne Gallman managing only 59 yards on 17 attempts. The problem isn't all Gallman, though. The Clemson offensive line didn't provide much of a push.
Kicking game: Greg Huegel missed a short field goal in the first half and Ray-Ray McCloud fumbled a punt return that could have given Georgia Tech good field position, but the Tigers recovered the fumble. Huegel also had a kickoff go out of bounds.
Georgia Tech's passing game: The Yellow Jackets completed 4 of 14 passes for 29 yards with an interception. The few occasions when Justin Thomas had an open receiver he didn't have time to get the pass off.
Officials: There were questionable calls against both teams all night. The most noticeable mistakes included a Clemson pass that traveled three yards forward being originally called a lateral and a Georgia Tech pass that went a couple of yards backward being called forward and not reviewed. Had the call been correctly made, Clemson would have scored on the play.

When you're a beginner just getting into the iron game, anything and everything seems to work in your efforts to build muscle. When you become more advanced, however, it's just the opposite: Gains come slowly, and only with a smart approach to your training. But rather than throw in the towel, it's time to adjust your thinking about why some approaches are successful and others aren't.
You already know that building muscle requires a training stimulus. Add nutritional support and rest, and your muscle fibers respond by growing bigger and stronger. That adaptation continues for a while, but ultimately it slows and you reach a plateau—a no man's land of zero gains.
Here's your proverbial fork in the road: You can either continue to do what's no longer working—the very definition of insanity—or you can change the training stimulus to something novel and unique your muscles are unaccustomed to. In other words, with a little creativity, you can inject some variety into your training and create a new stimulus that once again allows you to make gains like a beginner.
With that in mind, here are four challenging ways to introduce some fresh madness into your workouts that'll goose your training and boost your results. If you're ready to build muscle like a beginner again, give any of these challenges—all centered on some variation of the number 8, which is why they're called "Crazy 8s"—a shot!
Challenge 1: 8 Sets of 8 Reps on Leg Day
In the 1960s, one of the top trainers was Southern California gym owner Vince Gironda. He was the guy top bodybuilders sought out if they were stuck in a training rut or needed to break a plateau.
One of his most popular methods was 8 sets of 8 reps, which he designed specifically for bodybuilders whose goal was to build muscle size and lose fat. The high volume of work done with just a few exercises with fairly challenging weights seemed to be the perfect recipe for gains in muscle and losses in body fat.
It's really quite simple; just pick three exercises and perform 8 sets of 8 reps. Choose a weight that's roughly your 12-rep max, but stop all sets at 8—don't do more, even if you can. At first, you won't be able to complete all 8 reps on your later sets, but this approach will boost your strength over time so that you eventually can.
What made Gironda's method really challenging were the strict 30-second rest periods. Stick to 'em if you really want some crazy growth! This challenging leg workout may not take you longer than an hour to complete, but you might need a week to recover.
Challenge 2: 8-Second Reps on Shoulder Day
Many people train with little thought to the quality of the positive (lifting) or negative (lowering) contraction, simply pushing as fast as hell to get the set over with. But just because you do 8-12 reps doesn't mean they're quality reps.
Some exercise scientists measure what's called time under tension (TUT), or the speed of your reps. For building muscle, you want a set to ideally last 40-60 seconds. So those super-fast reps may not be pushing you into the ideal muscle-building zone as measured by the clock.
So let's slow things down a bit to ensure you're maximizing your TUT and doing quality reps, both going up and coming down. This week's challenge is to take four seconds on the concentric contraction and another four on the eccentric. Each rep should take precisely eight seconds. This means you have to not only lift the weight, but have total control over it using a slower, less-explosive motion than you normally would.
If each rep takes eight seconds, you want to complete 6-7 reps to fall within the optimal TUT range. Be humble and go light, because you're probably not going to be able to handle the normal poundage you're accustomed to.
Challenge 3: Supersets on Chest Day
Guess what: It's Monday, so it must be chest day! Rather than take a number at the bench-press station, let's change things up a bit by supersetting two chest exercises: a multijoint followed by a single-joint move. And we'll even flip the last one so you'll do the single-joint first. That's four pairs of exercises in all, or eight total movements.
A superset means doing two movements back-to-back with no rest in between; you rest only after you complete both, which counts as one superset. Starting with a multijoint press allows you to recruit additional muscle groups so you can lift heavier at the top of each superset. Then, a single-joint move helps you target and really fatigue your chest.
Doing supersets allows you to complete more work in less time, which is ideal if you're on a crunch. But it also does something completely different: it alternates press-and-fly movements in your routine. Normally, you probably save your fly movements until last, but not here. You'll generate a more intense pump with this kind of training, but expect your strength to trail off toward your third superset.
Just make sure to grab all the equipment you need for each superset before you get started, which in some cases might mean grabbing two sets of dumbbells rather than just one.
Challenge 4: Tabata Triceps
If you're like most of us, you want to finish your workout with a bang rather than a whimper. One unique way to do that is by applying Tabata training principles to your routine. Tabata requires you do 8 sets of all-out movement for 20 seconds, interspersed with 10-second rest periods after each set. It's a type of interval training that, when done as the last exercise of your weight workout, can deliver an incredible pump.
What's so intense about Tabata? For one thing, you complete the entire shebang in just four minutes. The intense pump engorges the muscle with fluids that not only brings in nutrients while stretching the muscle fascia, but the intensity has also been shown to temporarily boost growth-hormone levels, and GH is both anabolic and lipolytic (fat burning).
To get the biggest effect, use Tabata with a multijoint exercise that recruits the largest degree of muscle mass, but one that's easy to get into position for. Because you're going nearly all-out, a machine movement might be safest because it allows you to maintain better form as you fatigue.
Choose a weight in which you can do about 12-15 reps with good form, but you're doing it for time, not reps. And make sure you use a timer to do it right!

Hair cutting techniques furnish us with brand new ideas to sculpt our strands.

Apparently, the popularity of layers can be attributed to its power to complement all face shapes and hair textures.

evokes mixed feelings. But then, for many people, so does any
teen mom.
On the one hand, you want to be supportive and encouraging of a teenage mother. To reassure her that, although it will be challenging, she and her baby can still have a great life.
On the other hand, you ache for how hard it will be for her.
"We support a teen's choice to raise her child," we say. "If only it hadn't happened!," we think.
Teen motherhood is a topic very much in the news these days. The U.S. has the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the developed world. Each year, it's estimated, 750,000 girls between 15 and 19 will give birth.
Seeing an audience, ABC created the drama The Secret Life of the American Teenager and MTV has produced the reality shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Moms. And now comes the announcement that the young Ms. Palin will be making an appearance on The Secret Life.
The show is pure soap opera, with painful overacting, convoluted sexual subplots and enough lip gloss to pollute a small lake. Is it exploiting the topic of teen motherhood? Maybe.
But then, what is an effective way to get through to teenagers about the consequences of teenage sex? It's not like adults haven't been trying. There are thousands of brochures, books and web sites on the topic. Schools try, too. In New Jersey, health education classes in Grades 1 through 12 are required to include information on Human Relationships and Sexuality. Even MTV's trying, with its own StayTeen.org, to get the message to teenagers in a relatable way.
And now Bristol. Again, the mixed feelings: There are lovely photos of her cuddling with her son, and sad stories of lonely nights spent rocking a crying baby. She appears on magazine covers and TV shows, trying to walk the line between "my son is so wonderful" and "my life is so hard". She becomes an "abstinence ambassador" for Candies (that purveyor of sexually charged advertising). She announces she will not have sex again until she gets married.
It's uncomfortable to watch her. She is so young. And there's the disconnect between her message and the fact that she--unlike other teen moms--has actually found a way to make money from her situation.
But her words, to her credit, are blunt. "If girls realized the consequences of having sex, nobody would be having sex. Trust me. Nobody," she told People. "Girls need to imagine and picture their life with a screaming newborn baby and then think before they have sex." Missing the prom "kind of sucked." And: "This is my full-time job now. My life comes second now."
That's what having a baby is, and it is a tough reality to adjust to, even for a grown woman.
Bristol is speaking a truth: Babies are adorable but mothering is hard. Better to complete your education, get established in a career, choose a husband first.
If kids won't believe the adults, maybe they'll listen to Bristol.

Letters to my Hero
Dear Rob,
Today is Mother's Day so the first thing I want to say is thank you for making me a mommy five times. You are a amazing man and I love you.
Thank you for calling us this morning. It made my day.
We had a good day. We went to church and then decided we were going to the movies. So we returned the books to the library. You may laugh but I ended up going off post and then back on to find the library. Then we walked around the PX for a while trying to waste time. Then I took the kids to the playground. While they played I cleaned out the van. Then we washed the van and vacuumed it out. Then we went to the movies. We saw Diary of a wimpy kid. The movie was good (I know we already saw it) but the popcorn was horrible, burnt and dry. I should have returned it.
Then we headed home. We stopped at KFC to pick up dinner for me and taco bell for the kids. When I opened my plate guess what was there. CHICKEN LIVER, I was in tears. I guess that is pay back for all the times I told the kids we were having liver for dinner.
Ooh yeah, I did have something gross happen today. All week Grace has told me she is putting her stinky panties in the dirty laundry. NOPE, she was putting them in the basket of clean laundry in our bedroom. Several pairs. I was wondering where they were. Then this evening she stepped in the dirty panties and well let's just say it was interesting. So we get all that cleaned up and then it happens…..
What you may ask. Hope brings me the half empty bottle of gummy vitamins and says "mom, someone ate all the vitamins". Then confessed it was her. After a phone call to poison control I know she is okay. What a day. I did get a moment to hold a kitten. I am so anxious for them to come out, although I know that will be a whole new issue with the dog.
I love you baby and hope you get some rest tonight. I hope your subway sandwich was good. SHOOT that is what I should have had for dinner. Then we could have said we had the same dinner and I know it would have been correct. Maybe another day. I love you, good night

The latest addition to my teapot collection is a 24 ounce Pugg teapot by Tea Forte. I was looking for a small versatile teapot and this pretty little "Cherry Blossoms" pot seemed to be just right.
This teapot includes a stainless steel infuser basket for loose tea and an interesting removable stainless steel lid. I read somewhere that you can take the lid off and put the ceramic pot in the dishwasher.
The large loop handle is great and easy to get a good grip on when pouring tea or rinsing out the pot.
I like being able to take the infuser out in the morning when I mostly use tea bags, and then replace it in the afternoon for my loose tea. My only complaint would be how this pretty teapot pours. It seems that whether I pour my tea quickly or slowly, the spout dribbles tea – maybe because of the unusual narrow shape.
So, I guess I'd recommend this teapot. You can check out the other pretty colors and patterns on the Tea Forte link above. And for those of you who love yellow – that pot is $10 off today. ☺

Tomorrow (Friday July 25th), Fox Searchlight is adding the original, darker ending to its hit horror film 28 DAYS LATER. After the film's credits have finished rolling, the words 'What if...' will appear on the screen followed by the alternate ending.
'The alternate ending is bloody scary, but I think that the pure horror enthusiast will enjoy seeing it the way it was originally conceived,' commented 28 DAYS LATER director Danny Boyle. Fox Searchlight is inviting audience members to email to the director and screenwriter Andrew Garland at email@example.com with their questions and thoughts. Answers from the duo to the emails will be then posted at www.foxsearchlight.com.
Ironically, the new ending to 28 DAYS LATER will arrive on the film's 29th day of release.

Johanna Konta didn't appreciate having her performance questioned after losing in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.
As the last British player remaining in the tournament, Konta was the crowd favorite against Barbora Strycova on Centre Court but lost 7-6 (5), 6-1 despite holding a 4-1 lead in the first set. She attributed Strycova's comeback solely to her opponent's good play - and bristled at the notion that it was her own mistakes that were at fault.
Asked by a reporter whether she should ''look at yourself a little bit about how you cope with these big points,'' Konta shot back: ''Is that in your professional tennis opinion?''
A testy exchange followed, with the reporter saying that if Konta wants to win a Grand Slam tournament one day she should be willing to learn from matches like this one. Konta interrupted him to say ''please don't patronize me.''
''In the way you're asking your question, you're being quite disrespectful and you're patronizing me,'' she said. ''I'm a professional competitor who did her best today, and that's all there is to that.''
After Andy Murray ended a 77-year wait for a British men's champion at Wimbledon, the country's tennis fans - and media - have become increasingly hopeful that Konta could become the first homegrown female champion since Virginia Wade in 1977.
But Konta, who reached the semifinals at the All England Club in 2017, insisted it wasn't the pressure that got to her when she was leading.
''I guess what happened is that I have an opponent on the other side of the court who has everything to say in how the match goes, as well,'' she said. ''I don't think you need to pick on me in a harsh way. I mean, I think I'm very open with you guys (in the media). I say how I feel out there. If you don't want to accept that answer or you don't agree with it, that's fine. I still believe in the tennis that I play. I still believe in the way I competed.''
Konta wasn't the only player to waste a 4-1 lead on Monday. Zhang Shuai and Karolina Muchova also did so before losing in straight sets in their quarterfinal matches. Zhang was beaten 7-6 (4), 6-1 by seventh-seeded Simona Halep and Muchova lost 7-5, 6-4 to No. 8 Elina Svitolina.

Having your heart broken is a funny thing.
When you were a teenager, it was the end of the world. It was like your drama switch being turned on; all your emotions being amped up to 11. Frankly, it was embarrassing. As we get older, we assume that those kinds of responses are left in the shady, red faced days of our youth. We assume that we are wiser now and that in every relationship we enter into, we are shielded by the sanctity of good choice and careful consideration. That we have evolved beyond such incidents and all will be good and well. Then we have our hearts handed to us through our arses and we realise how little we have really travelled.
I'm not being fair here, of course. A lot has changed.
Whereas you might have once stomped your little feet regarding the end of a relationship and looked for people, objects and small, defenseless animals to blame, now you are just left with the heaviness of responsibility. You look for your part in proceedings and pick through every failing like it was the Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Instead of rage and a litany of 'fuck you's' toward your ex, you are just left hung in sadness, possibly regret and lament what might have been. In place of a drunken bender with your mates which works to replace pain with a well earned sense of drunken shame, you are just left with yourself, your thoughts and the long hours in which they ferment.
Once upon a time, under such circumstances, we would be drunk right now. Yes, it is seven o'clock in the morning, but that younger us would have raised the flag of rebellion, called in sick to work and would be necking a bottle of something substantial now. That'd show them.
Seasoned us, older us, wearier us does things like write instead, for a handful of readers with markedly good taste. We are sober in these moments. We have rarely been more sober. We would love it to be otherwise, but time has taught us that all a drug or alcohol induced state is going to give is more pain, later and an inability to deal with it. We don't want to salt the ground we've walked upon or purge the memories of the cause of our heart ache.
We just wish things otherwise.
So, with the option of righteous self-destruction taken off the table, we get on with it. We set ourselves again to the task of pushing that boulder up that mountain, every minute feeling like a day, every day feeling like a year. But it shifts.
It's not going to help you forget. I can't even say it's going to help you move on. I don't know what it's going to do. But it's something and in the face of the great miasma of nothing which threatens to consume, it's the better option.
Hurt and loneliness are weights. They are heavy to lift, they make living difficult. Yet they make you stronger too, if you can survive them.
So survive them. Nothing is set in stone. No path is pre-determined. Survive.
You set the path. How. When. Which. Where. Who.
You are in control, if not of the circumstance, then at least of your response to it.
If you never want to love again, that's fine. If you want to do everything in your power to win your love back, that's fine. If you want to commit your life from here on in to the study of the sex lives of Peruvian beetles, that's fine too.
Survive. Survive for now.
Then live.
There is nothing else. There is only life. Live it.
Surviving is the lowest form of existence. It serves a purpose but we deserve so much more.
We won. We arrived. We made it onto this earthly plane.
So take your prize.
Live. With your heart broken. With your scars showing. With your eyes crazed. With your soul held out before you. Live.
It's so much easier than living like you're dead.

: Has anyone heard of this? I got asked if I have ever "Traded on looks?" by a man who is a bit of an arrogant person in his everyday life. I had no idea what he was trying to say. What does this mean? Thanks!
It means to use your physical appearance to achieve some goal. When stopped for speeding, the beautiful girl traded on her looks to avoid getting a ticket.

Belogorie claims Russian derby to vie for third Champions League crown
Belogorie BELGOROD was seen as the clear-cut favourite of this semi-final for this team could rely on an impressive series of five straight wins over their opponents from Tatarstan by combining a series of Russian competitions spanning from the 2013 Superleague to the last edition of the Supercup. On top of this, Belogorie could also count on the loud support of more than 200 supporters who had all travelled on a charter flight to Turkey's capital city. On the other side of the net, the players of Zenit were extra motivated to break that negative streak also by last week's victory of Dinamo in the women's competition, the starting point of a potential unprecedented clean sweep by teams from the same city in the CEV DenizBank Volleyball Champions League. The Tatari crew was composed of only 20 people, but their presence was nevertheless to be felt on Saturday afternoon at Baskent Volleyball Hall.
Another interesting fact to mention: two players included in the roster of Belogorie – i.e. Sergey Tetyukhin and Alexander Bogomolov – were back to Ankara 19 years after winning gold at the Junior European Championship that had taken place in Turkey's capital city in 1994. Russia had topped the charts back then as the team also included the likes of giant Alexey Kazakov – who started this season in Kazan before switching back to Belgorod and for this reason was no longer eligible to play in this year's European Cups – and of Vladimir Kastornov, who was also in Ankara on Saturday afternoon co-commentating the match for NTV Sport +.
The first point of the game was scored by Russia's Olympic hero Dmitriy Muserskiy and Belogorie quickly opened a small gap (4:1) to immediately set the tone of the game. Both teams found it difficult to display the necessary consistency from the serving zone but even though Zenit gradually found their way into the match, Belogorie led the way at the first technical time-out (8:5) after a terrific triple block on US American spiker Matthew Anderson. Trying to add another chapter to Russia's supremacy on the international stage, both of these teams were also vying for their third title in the competition, an accolade that only Italy's TRENTINO Volley could achieve since the inception of the Champions League 14 years ago. Belogorie had dropped only two sets on their way to the Final Four Tournament and even the star-studded Tatari armada from Kazan seemed to have difficulties to stand the pace imposed by Muserskiy & Co. (11:7). Maxim Mikhaylov woke up his side with an ace that reduced the gap to only two points but Belogorie responded promptly by scoring another two. Zenit tried hard to keep the pace of their countrymen but again it was Belogorie that got the edge at the second mandatory stop (16:13) after showing superb Volleyball in all fundamentals. As the game resumed, again and again both teams missed a good share of their serves, before a block by Belogorie setter Dragan Travica moved the score up to 21:16 and prompted a time-out by Zenit mentor Vladimir Alekno. Only a couple of minutes later it was then Gennady Shipulin who had to stop the game after a "lucky ace" by Evgeny Sivozhelez had sparked some nervousness among his players. He got the reaction he wanted and his guys cruised to the provisional 1:0 (25-19) that was cashed on a terrific crosscourt killed by Georg Grozer.
To start the second set, Alekno decided to rely on the experience of Roman Yakovlev who replaced Sivozhelez after a very disappointing performance by the latter in the early phases of the match. One figure taken from the stats of the first set could easily explain Belogorie's supremacy in the game: Shipulin's players had successfully concluded 54% of their attacks while that same figure stood at a very poor 27% for KAZAN. However, the Tatari train was back on track leading the way at the first technical time-out (8:7) though Grozer continued to put great pressure on Zenit block and defence to keep the score very tight. Zenit claimed nevertheless their largest lead since the beginning of the match by the time the second technical stop was called (16:13); the Tatars then widened that cushion to four points (19:15) but after a time-out asked by Shipulin, Belogorie stormed back to -2 (19:17). On a net fault by their opponents, Belogorie almost completed their comeback (20:19) but Zenit then responded by scoring four in a row; the Tatars had already started their celebrations when a decision by the first referee was overturned by the challenge system but KAZAN had to wait for only a few seconds more until Matthew Anderson sealed the 25-22 that re-opened the fate of the match.
Zenit's efficiency in attack had moved up to 60% in the second set, whereas Belogorie had killed only 36% of their spikes, a clear indication that the match had followed a totally different plot than in the first set. However, the "Lions" from Belgorod were quickly back to their usual standards in the early phases of set 3 (5:2) and showed glimpses of their class to cruise to the provisional 8:4 at the first technical time-out. There was not much that Zenit could do to stop that storm (13:5); Alekno decided to change one of his middle-blockers with Alexander Abrosimov joining the actions, but he also got to feel the power and height of Muserskiy's block. Though Zenit attempted a late comeback with a 7:2 break that moved the score to 15:10, Tetyukhin, Muserskiy, and Grozer propelled their side to a 20:14 lead that paved the way for the final 25-18 cashed on a serving error by Zenit.
Belogorie re-asserted their intention to prolong their winning streak storming out to a 5:2 lead in set 4; Alekno did not change any piece of his starting six, with Abrosimov and Yakovlev still in the game for Apalikov and Sivozhelez, but similarly to what had happened in the third set, Belogorie's supremacy was just overwhelming (13:7), especially behind the serving line. At this stage Maxim Mikhaylov took his side by the hand to bring back some hope for a tie-break (13:10) but Muserskiy responded by scoring the next point to immediately contain that threat. Alekno looked hopeless realising that the final whistle was just round the corner (20:14) and eventually Zenit lost for the second consecutive year a Russian derby in the semis of the Champions League (last season it was edged by eventual winners Lokomotiv NOVOSIBIRSK). Belogorie cemented their supremacy in the match with a splendid final rush (25-17).
"Volleyball is like mathematics and if you make as many mistakes as we did today, you end up losing, so this defeat does not come as a surprise to us. At the same time I would like to congratulate the team of Belogorie and wish them the best of luck for the final where we hope they will win the title and carry on the Russian supremacy in this competition," said Zenit mentor Vladimir Alekno.
"That was the fourth time we played Belogorie this season; we had lost three matches in a row but we always played in Belgorod, so this time we were hoping to change this negative trend since we were playing on neutral ground," commented Zenit setter Nikola Grbic. "We eventually did not succeed in doing this and could not display our best. We have to regroup, get back our confidence and start fighting for the title in the Superleague which is the last trophy we can win this season."
"I would like to thank the many fans who have travelled from Russia down to Ankara for this Final Four Tournament. It was good to get to feel such a nice atmosphere already during the semi-final," said Belogorie BELGOROD captain Taras Khtey. "Tomorrow is a new day; we will now regroup, follow the second semi-final and try to get ready for the most important game of the weekend."
"I would like to congratulate my players who have achieved the goal we had set at the beginning of the season," said Gennady Shipulin. "This is very remarkable especially with the very tight and demanding schedule we have had in the Russian Superleague, flying very often to Siberia and then back home. We feel ready to take on the final and will be doing our best to win the title."

Good old BuzzFeed have done it again, getting women to bikini wax their boyfriends and capturing it on camera for our pleasure. It's good.
First up - props to the couples, one of which have only been dating for two months. Ouch. As the guy predicts, "this is gunna be worse than meeting your parents". So true.
They have high hopes though. "I'm looking forward to wiping my arse and there not being any resistance", one says, as an esthetician teaches the girlfriends to take it ALL off.
There's swearing, screaming... even blood – and results. Would the boys go through it again? "Mad respect women, but hell no!", one concludes.
Watch and LOL:

UK and the Schengen Zone.. Long-term Travellers Need to Be Mathematicians!
Until last night, i thought that i had 3 months for EACH of the countries in the Schengen Zone (Google is your friend)! Talk about naive and misinformed! I have 3 months TOTAL for the WHOLE AREA!
I HAD planned on using my 6 months allowed in the UK for spring and summer, then in the fall, heading into the Schengen Area and spending anywhere from a month or three in every country, indefinitely! Hehehe.. oh man.. *shakes head* *sigh* So yeah, this new info CHANGES EVERYTHING!!
So.. here's the NEW IMPROVED low-down.
Once i step off the plane in London, my 12 Month UK Time-clock begins, with 6 months allowed to stay. Then, ASAP, the next day or so, take a small trip to Paris, which will start my 6 Month Schengen Time-clock, with 3 months allowed to stay. In/out privileges, as long as i don't go over the amount allotted.
THAT way, i can take a bunch of side trips into Europe during my 6 months in the UK, and when that time is up and i MUST leave the UK, my 6 Month Schengen Time-clock will be finished, and i can start a NEW 6 Month Schengen Time-clock.
Then i'll do a few countries... starting in Iceland for the aurora?... Germany for Oktoberfest?... Italy to Greece, ending up in Barcelona, Spain for xmas. It's all timed for xmas in Barcelona because, well, where ELSE in the world are there not one, but (count-em) TWO POO-related christmas traditions?? I just can't miss out on that bizarre cultural experience!
Which leaves me 3 months left in BOTH my UK Time-clock and my Schengen Time-clock, and i can't step foot in ANY of the countries!
So... i'll have to head elsewhere.. outside of the area for 3 months. Morocco? India? Macedonia? And then.. we'll see from there whether i go BACK and start my Time-clocks again to travel around the countries i missed, or something totally different. I guess i'll find out when the time comes. IF it comes and i haven't chickened out long before then!
And.. if i think about it.. my little trips into Europe while i'm in the UK, means those weeks will not be clocked, so.. i can add them to my 6 months allowed! IE: I spend 1 week in Paris, 1 week in Amsterdam and 1 week in Berlin. That's 3 weeks that i didn't spend in the UK, so.. i can stay 3 weeks longer than the end of the summer! IF i wanted to. OR after my 3 months are up from my 2nd Schengen Time-clock, because i'll still have 3 months left in my UK Time-clock.
Does it all sound complicated? It IS! (OR, maybe i'm just not explaining it well). But anyway.. like i said.. long-term travellers need to be mathematicians!

Before I had children, my Mum and I would often venture into Leeds every Sunday. We would park near The West Yorkshire Playhouse (back when parking there was free) and with a hop, skip and a jump past the bus station and deserted market, we would soon be walking through The Victoria Quarter salivating at the clothes we couldn't afford in Harvey Nichols. I'll admit that I miss those Sundays. Nowadays, my Sundays consist of me wearing jogging bottoms all day, cleaning the house, marking books and having a five year old threaten to (and I quote) 'kick me in the face' if I kiss her one more time and a one year old literally using my hair as a rope.
I wouldn't have it any other way though…
Recently, my Mum and I (accompanied by my five year old) drove into Leeds one Sunday in order to acquaint ourselves with the new John Lewis and Victoria Gate shopping centre and it is fantastic. However, as we were walking around familiar shopping areas such as Briggate and Commercial Street, the familiarity of my home city was gone and I felt that I just didn't belong there anymore. Since having children, my beloved city has changed almost beyond my recognition (in a good way – well, apart from the £25 burger I had at Five Towns…) and it is filled with achingly fashionable men and beautiful young girls with the most perfect of eyebrows (who all – I might add – look the same) and I longed to be home where no one could pass judgement against my jogging bottoms and messy hair.
Also, from home, I can easily plan my transformation from behind the safety net of my computer. Very rarely do I spend money on myself and very rarely do I have money to spend, but I have found a website that directs you to where all of your favourite brands are in the sale. Therefore, if I am to venture out this autumn (and with Black Friday waiting around the corner), this is what I want to be seen wearing:
The Uggs
My love affair with Uggs has lasted more than a decade now. From my first pair of the original tan fur lined Uggs to my current leather biker ones, these boots have been a staple of my winter wardrobe. My current Ugg boots are about to enter their fifth season and despite hating to admit it, they are starting to look a bit tatty and – dare I say it – dated. Therefore, I would love to own a pair of these Lana Biker Knee Boots because it has been a few years since I had a pair of knee high boots and perhaps even longer since I had a pair of boots I could wear through the day with a heel. Being five foot eight, I get a little paranoid tottering around in heels during the day, but the heel on these boots is not sky high and I love that it's chunky which, I imagine, means that they are extremely comfortable and everyone seeks comfort from their Ugg boots.
The Jeans
Those who know me, know I am a jeans and t-shirt girl – so much so that an ex-boyfriend once asked me why I dressed like a fourteen year old boy when I was twenty five. At thirty five he would still disapprove because jeans (albeit skinny now and not baggy like ten years ago) continue to be a staple in my wardrobe alongside a pair of Adidas Originals or a pair of Converse. Therefore, the next item on my wishlist would be these Reflector Jeans from Barbour, which are a bargain at £40. I have to admit that when it comes to looking at Barbour products, I often automatically navigate to their coats, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these very flattering jeans. I would team these up with my current Stan Smiths, or, if I wanted to my day look to be more dressy, I would try them with the Lana Biker boots.
The Coat
With the cold air really coming in this week, my tatty old grey cardigan just won't cut it anymore. In my denial to admit that summer is over, I have been refusing to wear coats and choosing only cardigans or my three year old Jack Wills body warmer. I have never really been into long flowing colourful coats; I much prefer darker shades and shorter jackets. I spotted this coat whilst browsing for Converse trainers and it really caught my eye. I think it looks really comfortable and warm (and I hate being cold) and would look great with a pair of jeans and trainers. If it made me look like the model in the photograph, well, that would just be an added bonus.
The splash of colour
Okay, to almost complete my new autumn casual outfit, I guess I had better add some colour. With the dark nights coming in early now, I might be guilty of buying too many dark clothes and my new fashion overhaul would go unnoticed. I saw this jumper in the Ted Baker section of Love the Sales and it immediately caught my eye. I have been a fan of Ted Baker for years, but tend to only buy their evening wear because it can be a tad expensive for 'every day' wear. However, I thought that this bright pink jumper was a real bargain at almost half of its original price. Teamed with the biker boots, the jeans and the black Converse jacket, this jumper would be the splash of colour the outfit needs to stand out in a crowd.
The bag
Finally, would any outfit be complete without the show stopping bag? I find the Harper Satchel extremely classy and I can't imagine it ever going out of fashion. It is also quite sizable which means that it could possibly fit in it a couple of packets of baby wipes because no matter where you are and no matter what you're wearing, if you're a mum, you will probably find yourself in a situation where you need a baby wipe or five.
The Christmas Do
This is the final one, I promise. This year, I am attending the 'Work Christmas Do' which is a rarity for me because late night drinking and early morning parenting is not a good mix. However, I have signed up, paid for my turkey and now I must find a show stopping outfit. Four years ago, I bought a short, black Ted Baker dress for a winter wedding and it is an outfit I still wear today – I love it. If it's not broken, why fix it? With this in mind, I have gone for Ted Baker again and chosen this Moven Summer Dress in black. Even though it is called a summer dress, I think it is suitable for winter because of its staple colour: black. I love it because it is short, (but not too short) and because it has sleeves. I hate to see bare arms in the winter. I also hate to see white legs in the winter, so I would wear this with black tights and a pair of killer heels because it's okay to wear killer heels at the 'Christmas Do' even if you're five foot eight and a thirty-five year old mum of two, right?

Of late, Parisian restaurants have shunned the kind of fussy service and florid interiors that once defined French dining. Yet even the most modern and creative new establishments seem to favor the multicourse tasting menu. In other words, there's still a soupçon of rigidity.
Not at Le Servan, a neo-bistro in the 11th Arrondissement where the à la carte menu is serious but the experience is distinctly laid-back. "We really wanted to let people choose what and how they were eating," said Tatiana Levha, its 30-year-old chef and co-owner.
Ms. Levha, who was born in Manila and grew up in Paris, offers a succinct menu that she describes as "traditional French cuisine with a little Asian twist." Each dish is tweaked daily: one day you might be served tête de veau with sorrel sauce; the next day it arrives with gribiche sauce, made with hard-boiled eggs.
With its, airy, contemporary décor, floor-to-ceiling windows, casual atmosphere and friendly service, Le Servan, which opened in April, did not go unnoticed by local food critics, bloggers and the general public. But what made it instantly popular was Ms. Levha's résumé: She spent time at L'Arpège and L'Astrance, two venerable restaurants with three Michelin stars each.
That training was plentifully on display during a recent weekday dinner. One of the four appetizers on offer was "oeuf au plat," a sunny-side-up egg surrounded by warm seasonal mushrooms atop a soft Cheddar cream sprinkled with duck jus. An entree of suckling lamb from Lozère, seared and then slow-cooked to perfection in an oven, was served on the bone and topped with an anchovy dressing; next to it was a mix of butter-blanched salicornia (a marine plant) and green beans, along with bits of vinegar-marinated cauliflower and tiny wedges of fresh Tahitian lime.
Dessert turned out to be a delightful surprise: It looked like a traditional Paris-Brest, but its taste was more complex, filled with a light butter cream laced with crunchy praline along with hazelnut paste and a hint of salt.
Ms. Levha said that she "wanted to open a place where people could have very good food at affordable prices," which is exactly what Le Servan delivers. But stating that the dishes are "nothing complicated" might be false modesty; any intended simplicity is belied by outstanding skill and creativity.

I would love to have Thanksgiving dinner later in the evening around 5 or 6, but our families always have them so early. My FI's family has their "dinner" at 1, and my family is having theirs at 2:30. To me, this is lunch time! Just once I would love for Thanksgiving dinner to actually be during dinner time.
So bees, when do you sit down to eat?

I'm going to come right out and say that I think if you're looking to write the next great American novel, there's probably a good chance you won't self-publish it. It could very well be that you could write the next great 21st century novel as a self-published novel. I think 21st century literature has one important thing in common with self-publishing. The internet. Things haven't been as accesible to independent writers as they are right now. You could publish your own book from your own bedroom if you wanted to. And unlike those barbaric days pre-y2k where you'd have to photocopy everything and hand it out to get it read, these days you can put out a book and get it read.
Some people absolutely swear not to go there, which I think is a professionalism thing. That's cool. Some people think it's a great place to start. That's cool too.
I read this blog post yesterday, which got me thinking about the whole "to self-publish or not to self-publish" debate all over again: How Self-Publishing Got Me a Book Deal, by Jason Jack Miller.
And when the topic of self-publishing, or publishing on the internet comes up, I always think of the book, John Dies At the End, by David Wong. He put the book up on his blog, and because of the demand the book was attracting, it went into print. And a film's being made out of it. And he's writing a sequel.
It's silly to say that self-publishing never pays off, or that it's the wrong way to go. But it also doesn't excuse bad writers from their lack of success with publishers/agents. It's not the right way to go for everybody, and it's not the wrong way to go for everybody. You've got to work out for yourself if self-publishing is right for you.
As for me, I'm not selling books until I get a publisher. That's where I'm at right now. But it hasn't stopped me self-publishing novelettes or short story collections or stuff like that and giving them away for free.
The first year I really started writing, before I started uni, I wrote quite a lot of short stories, and I decided I wanted to give them to friends. Once I got a decent amount of stories together I compiled them into a short book, looked into techniques on how to bind books, bought my ink, paper, glue, tape, accessories, and printed out my own books and I was literally binding them in my own bedroom.
It was frustrating when the printer stuffed up or I got the formatting wrong, or things like that, but it was basically just stuff I was putting together for fun. And I learned a bit from the experience. The stories could have been better, but hey, I was just a 17/18 year old country boy at the time, with no professional writing, editing or publishing experience. I'd like to think I did alright.
Then I went to uni and got a bit of experience with writing and editing. The editing was really basic stuff, informal, really. I wasn't doing professional writing or anything, so I didn't pick up anything on publishing/printing from uni. That's ok. After my first year at uni I wrote my first novel. It was a steampunk adventure novel. I don't remember it being all that good, but I don't remember it being all that bad either. And with very minor editing, I got my brother to make a cover, and I got it printed up through Lulu, I bought a bunch of copies for family/friends and such. I've still got copies lying around. I didn't make it available to the public. It was more for the sentimental factor of writing and publishing my first book. A couple of times it's automatically been made available to buy on Lulu, and at one point it was on the apple ebook store. This was years after I got it printed, and needless to say, I took it back down. And because it's not a book I want people to buy, no one knew about it, and no one actually bought it. It's probably not the smartest move I've made, but it's given me some good experience and I don't regret doing it.
In my second year of uni I took a class on experimental writing. We did some poetry and spoken word/slam poetry. Then we had a major project of our own choice. I did a zine. It's nothing I'd looked at before, but it seemed to represent a DIY/underground culture that reflected my values, like what I did with my short story collection a couple of years before, and the novel the previous year.
The zine was basically a more experimental version of what I was doing when I was just out of high school. It mixed poetry and flash fiction with quirky art. And as with before, I had a lot of fun piecing it together. Admittedly, it was a lot shorter and much easier to bind. But as with before, I did a bit of reading and research into the different ways you can put a zine together.
I even turned it into an ezine and made it available here: Splinters if you're interested in seeing where my writing was at about a year and a half ago.
To me, doing stuff like self-published zines and short stories and such, it's about getting my work out into the internet so people can read it. I mean, what will happen when I publish my first book and people want to know what I write like if they can't find anything to read? Before this whole internet and social media thing, it was more about real world promotion, word of mouth, getting stories in magazines and such. You can still do those things, but you can also get stuff published in online journals and zines and things, network with other writers, publishers, and editors, share your writing where people can access it at the click of a button and give you feedback at the click of another button.
Since I did that zine, I've played around with different ways I can display my work in electronic media, such as blogs. I did a zine as a blog a while back, and an art/comic blog, and a choose-your-own-adventure blog. It's all publishing online, a variety of self-published media.
I'm yet to self-publish and sell my own books, but the option is there, and I don't think it should be written off unless it's been properly considered.
Just a couple of months ago I published the first part of a web series called Once Upon A Time On Mars. I could probably just as easily finish the thing and try to find a publisher for it, but while I would be writing, rewriting, editing, then running around after agents or publishers, I've got stuff that people can read while I work on more stuff to publish.
And now, I've found myself going back to this idea I had earlier on in the year. To compile a short collection of bizarro short stories and poems. I originally thought it'd be something I'd put together then set aside for when I start professionally publishing books. But then I thought, I'm always writing, it's not like I won't have the chance to write more material for another collection later down the track. And if I put it out now, while it's still fresh, people will have more stuff to read. And they'll also get a glimpse of the stuff I started off doing, in making my little books from home that didn't look the prettiest, but had that whole DIY/underground feel to them. If it didn't cost me anything to write, edit and assemble, I might as well distribute it for free, like those people making their own zines, fanzines and things, handing them out to whoever will read them, that what I really want. People reading. And having fun reading. And maybe occasionally thinking about something they wouldn't otherwise think about.
I'm hoping in the next week or two, I'll have a flash fiction/prose poetry collection up online. Pterodactyl's Last Stand. It's not pretty. It's low budget. It's just who I am and what I do. I'm still learning and gaining experience. I'd love to get into editing zines, anthologies, novels. But right now, I'm 21, writing up a shitstorm, and giving people some idea as to what to expect when I've actually got books you can buy.
Also, I'd love it if you'd keep this in mind for when that glorious time comes: A Bestseller in the Making: 7 Ways You Can Help Your Author Friends
