The Duchess travelled to Newcastle in the royal helicopter and was given a 25% discount card for Newcastle city centre shops. The royal visit is Kate's first official trip to the North East.
Kate received flowers from a little girl.
Kate met with representatives from local projects including people who worked to make London 2012 successful, representatives from the Institute For Ageing And Health where innovative research and training is carried out. The Duchess also met students from Percy Hedley School, a school which provides resources for people with motor skills challenges.

Yesterday Kate wore the Reiss 'Angel' coat (see this post for more on that) she wore last Christmas morning and today the Duchess recycled the Aubergine coat she wore for the Christmas service at Sandringham.
Kate teamed the coat with a black Alexander McQueen belt (with many thanks to the wonderful Anna from My Small Obsessions)
According to The Telegraph Kate wore a red Whistles dress underneath the coat.
It is thought the dress is quite possibly the Whistles Sofie Rae Dress (With many thanks to Anna). The €105 burgundy pure silk dress has a deep v-neckline and a floating midi skirt. The dress was also worn by Downton Abbey actress Jessica Brown-Findlay. Unfortunately it is completely sold out.
Kate wore her Aquatalia Rhumba Black Suede Boots again today. The weatherproof stretch boots have a functional half inside zipper and a padded leather footbed for comfort. They are available in black suede and espresso suede for $698. A good pair of boots are a wardrobe must have the Autumn/Winter and the Rhumba are a very stylish choice. Will you all be wearing boots for the coming season?
The Duchess accessorised with her lovely Kiki McDonough Citrine Drop Earrings. They are available for £495.
The final engagement of the day is at CRI Stockton Recovery Service where the facility is partnering with Kate's patronage Action On Addiction for the M-Pact programme.

10 Tips for Reducing Credit Card Debt in 2012
The financial crash of 2008 forced both borrowers and lenders to slam on the breaks, putting a freeze on most loans. Revolving credit, which is made up mostly of credit card debt, dropped in 32 of the 36 months during a three-year period as cardholders cut back spending while issuers lowered credit limits, tightened approval guidelines and cancelled risky accounts.
But this financial restraint is showing some signs of easing for both sides in 2012.
The latest Federal Reserve numbers from the monthly G19 report show that consumer borrowing increased by $7.65 billion to $2.46 trillion in October. This is the biggest increase in two years. Revolving credit climbed by $366.2 million in October, while non-revolving credit, including educational loans as well as loans for autos and mobile homes, increased by $7.28 billion.
Credit card issuers are once again aggressively marketing their cards, especially to consumers with good or excellent credit scores. Many people are probably seeing more credit card solicitations in their mailboxes with attractive rewards and balance transfer offers. Consumers need to guard against running up large account balances and getting themselves in a financial pinch once again.
Here are ten tips for reducing credit card debt in 2012:
1. Understand that paying off debt won't be easy. It took time to accumulate this credit card debt, and it will probably take even more time to pay it off. Do not get discouraged or give up. Eliminating debt and building a secure financial foundation for yourself or your family is worth the sacrifice.
2. Get an honest assessment of how much you owe for all credit cards debts. It may have been easier to pay the minimums without looking at the total amount that you owe, but misleading yourself only makes it worse. Write down a debt summary that includes the creditor, monthly payment, interest, balance due, credit limit and due date for each loan.
3. Contact your creditors to negotiate lower rates. The less money you pay in interest, the more money you use to pay off your bills. Unfortunately, negotiating lower rates for credit cards is now more difficult than several years ago but it doesn't hurt to try. If your lender does not offer a lower rate, shop around for another credit card.
4. Pay off the card with the highest APR first. Continue to pay the minimum on your other cards until you pay off the card with the highest rate. Then focus your effort on the card next in line. After you pay off the card, keep it open, especially your oldest cards. Losing this available credit can lower your debt utilization ratio which could lower your credit score.
5. Pay more than your minimum payment. Your minimum payment is usually only 2-5% of your balance. At this rate, it will take you many years to pay off your debt. Start with the card with the highest interest rate and try to double your minimum payment.
6. Balance transfer offers are currently very attractive so consider transferring your balance to a card with a lower rate. If your rate is above 12%, look for a card that offers 0% for at least 12 months. To take full advantage of this 0% interest, pay as much as you can above the minimum payment each month.
7. If you have a credit card balance, stop using it for anything other than necessities. Use cash instead. If you carry a balance, you are paying interest for every purchase, including clothing, entertainment or dinner. Factor that in to each purchase. For example If your APR is 15%, ask yourself if the purchase is worth paying an additional 15% in interest per year. Paying with cash will not only save money on interest, but it will also reduce the amount you spend.
8. Pay your bills on time, every time. Not only do you have to pay a late fee, but late payments can also appear on credit reports. Negative information like this can result in lower credit scores and higher interest payments.
9. If you are surprised by your current rates, check your credit report. It may contain an error that lowered your credit score, causing creditors to increase your rates. If you find an error on your credit report, contact the credit bureau to report it. They must respond to your claim in thirty days or remove the information that is incorrect or unverifiable. You can dispute by mail, telephone, or online. If the corrected error results in a higher credit score, alert your creditors to this and ask for a lower interest rate.
10. If you are in danger of missing a payment, or defaulting on your credit card loan, contact your credit card issuer as soon as possible. Your issuer may work out a payment plan with a lower rate or monthly payment if it will help keep your account out of default. If the first person you speak with can't help lower your rate or make adjustments to your account, ask to speak with a supervisor or someone who can. Persistence may be necessary to find the person who will help you. Explain that you are in debt, the steps you are taking to repay it, and what you can pay today. Document all conversations, including whom you spoke with, and the date, time, and the results.

Mention the word social media and a plethora of definitions and accusations will be thrown at you. Social media has been blamed for all of the ills of society as well as given credit for bringing about much needed changes. Whether it was helping foster revolutions, ensuring that a vigilente was apprehended, or teaching the steps to the latest dance, social media has had and will continue to influence the dynamics of the world's culture.
Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, You Tube, and Flickr are just a few of the sites that play a predominate role in the use of this online media. It is loosely defined as an instrument of communication that involves some type of interaction or dialogue between individuals or groups online. Because of its effectiveness and its ability to reach millions of people quickly, anyone using these sites wants to know what can be done to improve his site's ranking.
Ranking has to do with a website or web page's visibility; how often a it appears in a search result. If you connect your site or page to Facebook or Twitter, you will find your that your ranking will improve substantially.
However, there are some things you should do to take advantage of these sites' services. The first and most obvious is join the site and set up a personal profile. There is usually no cost involved and primarily it's just your introducing yourself to those who might want to read your thoughts and opinions or make use of your services. Biographical information, a real name or pseudonym, and a picture are pretty much all that is needed.
Next, add links to your profile that will lead back to your website. A link, the location of a resource, is like part of a chain. It will direct your viewer to another place in your document or to another document that provides support or another source for the information you've shared.
Join more than one site. This allows you to reach different audiences and provides more backlinks and traffic on your site. You can also share your post on social networks. This enables friends and viewers to receive regular updates about
activity on your site.
Finally, try adding a share button on each social network profile. This will allow anyone with a profile on the same site access to your page and it can be posted on theirs. The more your site is shared the more traffic it will receive.
If you take advantage of the available tool, produce good content, and align yourself with other profiles, you will significantly improve your ranking.

Originally published by Dupont Registry: http://blog.dupontregistry.com/lamborghini/lamborghini-veneno-what-does-it-mean/
"(It) is just an amazing mistake," said Leopoldo Peña del Bosque, curator of the Spanish web site Los Toros Dan y Quitan, in the only sentence he provided me in English. The name of his web site translates to "bulls give and take away," and it pays tribute to fallen matadors.
Through the power of Google Translate, I was able to have a conversation with Mr. Peña about the name chosen for Lamborghini's latest, extremely limited supercar, a 740-horsepower, 3-million-euro beastly bull that wears the name Veneno.
As Lamborghini states in its press release, Veneno is the name of "one of the strongest, most aggressive and fastest fighting bulls ever." A bull that became particularly famous after it fatally wounded the famous torero José Sánchez Rodríguez during the bullfight in the arena Sanlúcar de Barrameda's, Andalusia, Spain. Mr. Peña, however, says Veneno only wounded José Sánchez Rodríguez and it sounded to him as if Lamborghini's hadn't investigated the story completely.
He thinks that many people may have José Sánchez Rodríguez confused with his brother, Hipólito Sánchez Rodríguez, who was killed by a bull in Úbeda Anastasio Martin in 1915; Mr. Pena has heard of this mistake before. In the book Victimas Del Toreo Novilleros, Author Dr. Juan Jose Zaldivar Ortega furthers this claim and substantiates Lamborghini's story, saying José Sánchez Rodríguez was gored by a flagpole that entered near a molar and went up through the eye.
Even if Dr. Ortega's book is correct, the Veneno's namesake may still not match up to reputation described in the Lamborghini press release. Dr. Ortega also describes José Sánchez Rodríguez as a novice and the whole thing as more of an accident than revealing the extreme nature of the Veneno bull.

A Jacksonville teen is facing federal charges after authorities say he traveled to the Middle East to train with terrorists.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Tampa announced Thursday that a grand jury has indicted 19-year-old Shelton Thomas Bell on charges of conspiring and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. He faces up to 15 years for each of the two charges.
Federal prosecutors say Bell had planned to travel to the Arabian Peninsula and join Ansar Al-Sharia, which is an alias for Al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula. The group has taken responsibility for multiple attacks on Yemeni forces, including a suicide bombing during a parade in May 2012.
Authorities say Bell and a juvenile traveled to Jordan and made contact with someone who could facilitate their travel to Yemen to participate in violent jihad.

Dry Soda8/21/2010 01:15:00 AM
June 12, 2009
My cousin and I were watching T.V one night and I believe it was on the food channel or something and Dry Soda appeared on the screen. It so happens that they were located in Seattle so we took a day to go check this place out and see what this dry soda was all about. It was surprising ... interesting. It kind of reminds me of wine that accompanies food. This was pretty much how this lightly flavored carbonated soda worked. There's 7 different flavors and each one matches well with certain proteins and very well I must say. It wasn't amazing to drink alone, but my favorite one would have to be Vanilla Bean. The cool thing was that when we first entered the building we had no clue what we were going to be doing. It so happens that you get to sit there chat and try all the different flavors to see which one you like. There's also cards that shows you which flavor dry soda matches with what food.
I would have to say it was a really fun and interesting experience. It's not something I would buy all the time but if I had a chance and had extra money laying around I would buy it for fun.

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
I found this to be very heartfelt, probably because its a true story. So its different from fiction in that way.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Write about what you know, when you get small germs of ideas don't dismiss them, make a note of them, because you never know, one day it might all come together!
Author Bio:
I am a lady who tends to observe things from a different point of view, now that I have got to my 40's.
I have only recently started writing, but now that I have started, I seem to have difficulty stopping!
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Trimethy laminuria 'The Smelly Fish Odour Disease' is very difficult to live with and try to live a normal life at the same time.
For years I was keeping hidden the difficulties and hurdles I was going through and one day wrote down in a blog some of the happenings that were going on. From there I decided to put the blog into an ebook.

In a nondescript, tin-clad barn outside Athens, the Sons of Sawdust sat in their office, mulling the possibility of "terminal length" — the point at which a beard ceases to grow longer. Matt Hobbs' and Ben Hobbs' facial hair is an integral part of their brand, and their beards have stunted somewhere between Kenny Rogers and ZZ Top.
"We're trying to out-beard each other," joked younger brother Ben, 30. He wore khakis and a dirty shirt, slurped Jittery Joe's coffee and bore the telltale residue of a long day in the wood shop: grimy fingernails. In this equation, he's the obsessive craftsman, the workhorse, the artist.
"I wonder if I trim it," said Matt, 34, stroking his blonder facial mane, "maybe it'll grow again." With his trucker's cap tilted atop long hair, Matt will occasionally build a table, but he's more the entrepreneurial engine, the broker who keeps emails answered, phone calls returned and clients happy. These days, the clients are many.
Ben stops clowning around, momentarily, and gets serious about beard regeneration: "We really need to look into this."
This get-it-done determination is one trait the Hobbs brothers share, but that wasn't always the case. Both are also slender and tall — Matt stands 6-foot-4, and Ben a tad shorter — with tattooed forearms. Both are relaxed, articulate and proudly salt-of-the-earth Southern hipsters.
And not too long ago, both were so down on their luck, suicide seemed like a viable option.
But today, through a confluence of skill, luck and good branding, these two restless creatives have built a reclaimed-wood craft business with backlogged orders and clients from Los Angeles to New York. "American Pickers" creator Mike Wolfe is pitching a reality TV show about them to major networks. Should Wolfe fail, four other production companies are waiting in line to pitch their own shows based on the brothers.
The irony is that Sons of Sawdust has relied on old-fashioned mediums — woodworking and storytelling — to become social media stars, which is the root of their popularity (and how Wolfe initially found them). Their relationship to reclaimed wood traces back to a garage workshop three hours south of Atlanta, where two boys once were awed by their grandfather's craftsmanship. They called him "Pa."
Pa had no way of knowing that breathing life into forgotten lumber would become a metaphor for his grandsons' lives and their ticket to success.
One sunny day in January, around the corner from downtown Watkinsville, the Sons of Sawdust workshop screamed with table saws, band saws, chop saws, jointers, planers and sanders. Two flags — UGA and the State of Georgia — hung from rafters. In the back room sat a vast stockpile of boards and pillars from every structure they've disassembled, some pieces dating back nearly two centuries.
As usual, Ben was hunched over a project — a concrete-topped desk for State Farm offices in South Carolina. The desk's aprons came from the Acworth train depot's flooring, salvaged just a few months earlier. By the time a piece is finished, the brothers have expended so much effort with the wood, from nail-removal to urethane application, that letting go can be difficult. Matt's been known to choke back tears while waving goodbye to tables. Have a nice life, he'll say...

The Human Body
The Human Body
A series of cross curriculum project plans to support the creative teaching of the human body topic for Foundation Stage and Key Stages 1, 2 and beyond.
Science Curriculum
As we already know, an interest in science needs to be nurtured during the primary years and science lessons should be more than just painfully slow experiments or lists of formula. Science lessons can be truly awe-inspiring and one topic that is guaranteed to wow and wonder is the human body – with its gory pictures of muscles, blood, veins and skeletons. Pupils cannot fail to enjoy this area of the curriculum. To help you get creative with the class, this section offers a series of cross-curricular project plans (all linked to the theme of the human body). This page offers some background information on the human body. This information is by no means exhaustive – just a few bullet points to help you get going.
The Brain
- The brain is the human body's computer. It contains billions of nerve cells called neurons that carry signals to and from different parts of the body through the central nervous system.
- The brain is actually larger than you think – it triples in size from birth through to adulthood and crinkles up so as to fit inside the human skull. If it were all stretched out it would cover quite a large surface area.
- The human brain has two halves called hemispheres. The dominant half of the brain (the left) usually governs speech, writing, numbers and problem solving.
The Heart
- The heart is the body's pumping system and it pushes blood around the body.
- The heart has four cavities (open spaces) inside that fill with blood. Two of these cavities are called atria. The other two are called ventricles.
- The left side of the heart houses one atrium and one ventricle. The right side of the heart houses the others. A wall, called the septum, separates the right and left sides of the heart. A valve connects each atrium to the ventricle below it.
- The top of the heart connects to a few large bloods vessels. The largest of these is the aorta, or main artery, which carries blood away from the heart. Another important vessel is the pulmonary artery, which connects the heart with the lungs as part of the pulmonary circulation system.
- The largest veins that carry blood into the heart are the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The superior is located near the top of the heart. The inferior is located beneath the superior.
- The heart is surprisingly small. The average adult heart is about the size of a clenched fist and weighs about 310 grams (11 ounces).
The Lungs
- If the heart is the pump, the lungs are the body's bellows.The lungs are like two bags in our chest that fill with air and give our bodies the oxygen that we need to live.
- On average we take 23,000 breaths a day.
- The lungs transfer the oxygen into the blood stream. Blood is moving all around our body. So when the oxygen gets into the blood it can reach all our organs and cells.
- The blood also carries waste gas (carbon dioxide) back to the lungs – which is then breathed out.
The Muscles
- The human body is full of muscles and without them we would not be able to move. There are about 650 muscles in the body.
- Muscles are made of fibres, which consist of thickly packed long thin cells. The fibres are arranged in bundles that are wrapped in tissue.
- Muscles always work in pairs. They are attached to your bones by tendons. The muscle pulls the tendon and the tendon pulls the bone.
- Muscle movements are either voluntary or involuntary.
- All humans have two sets of teeth. The first set comes when we are babies and are called milk teeth. Human teeth start to fall out from the age of six or seven and are replaced by 32 permanent teeth.
- Humans have four types of permanent teeth. They are incisors, canines, premolars and molars.
- All teeth have two parts. The crown is the part we can see. The root is the part that holds the tooth securely.
- If you cut a tooth in half you would see three layers. The outside layer is called the enamel and is the strongest part of the body. It is made from calcium and salt. The dentine is the next layer and is the largest part of the tooth. The middle layer is the pulp and contains vessels and nerves. It is in this layer that we feel pain and temperature.
The Skeleton
- There are 206 bones in the human body and most are found in the hands and feet.
- Our bones protect the soft internal organs of the body.
- Every bone is connected to another one. Each connection point is called a joint.
- The largest bone in the body is called the femur, which is in the leg. The smallest are in out ears.
The Liver
The liver is the largest gland, and solid organ in the body, weighing some 1.8 kgs in a man and 1.3 kgs in women. It holds approximately 13 per cent of the total blood supply at any given moment and it has over 500 estimated functions.
About 60 per cent of the liver is made up of live cells (hepatocytes) and each of these have an average lifespan of 150 days. In every milligram of liver tissue there are approximately 202,000 cells. A brief summary of the liver's function follows, but remember there are more than 500 functions processing digested food from the intestine.
- Combating infections in the body
- Clearing the blood particles and infections including bacteria
- Neutralising and destroying drugs and toxins
- Storing iron, vitamins and other essential chemicals and
- Breaking down food and turning it into energy
Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They are located in the middle of your back, just below your rib cage, on either side of your spine. Your kidneys weigh about 0.5 per cent of your total body weight. Although the kidneys are small organs by weight, they receive a huge amount – 20 per cent – of the blood pumped by the heart. The large blood supply to our kidneys enables them to do the following tasks:
- Keep the volume of water in your body constant
- Remove wastes from your body
- Help regulate your blood pressure
- Stimulate the making of red blood cells
Fascinating Facts
- Your brain tissue is 85 per cent water.
- The human body is comprised of around 75 per cent water at birth.
- The weight of an average human brain is less than one bag of sugar.
- The human brain is smaller than an elephants but bigger than a monkeys.
- Your skin weighs twice as much as your brain.

Guardians of the Grimoire Book Tour hosted by CBL Book Tours
Rumors have spread among the immortals of a book that controls all the magic in both the human and spirit worlds. So what is the Spirit Mother to do when Kaël, a corrupt spirit, attempts to steal the Grimoire from her temple?
With no other option, she instructs Gaïa, a benevolent spirit, to hide the Grimoire in the human realm and to train three young girls in becoming the new guardians. Kerani, Tiluvia, and Cesca are awakened to their destinies, and thrust into a perilous journey as they race to Gaïa's island. Accompanied by the Kal'rana sisters, the girls discover the magic that lies dormant within them. But fate plays a cruel twist on them, as their magical abilities are unleashed before they are ready, and disastrous consequences follow suit.
In a land shrouded in magic, and filled with as many friends as there are foes, will the girls be able to fulfill their destinies? Or will the balance of magic be thrown into chaos?
Review: 4/5*
Once I received the email to participate in this blog tour, I knew there was no way I could pass it up. I expected the book to be fairly similar to many others within the fantasy genre although I had only encountered one other tale with a grimoire at its center. It is safe to say that this book was nothing like what I expected. It contains many of the fantasy genre's tropes - a long journey, magical powers, villains, dark magic - but succeeded in bringing something new to the genre.
Slight is successful in giving us villains we love to hate and heroines that we can empathize with, despite us not having the same supernatural powers. Kerani is the heir to the throne but is non-conformative to the usual ladies expected within such roles. Tiluvia is part of a big family in which she works on stalls in order to ensure money and Cesca lives only with her guardian. All three are brought together at Kerani's literal battle against her suitors. We follow their journey as they develop their powers, come to terms with being the guardians of the Grimoire and watch their friendship strengthen. The magical powers offered - especially to Tiluvia - aren't ones which I had come across before. It was something original and I am looking forward to seeing what Slight will do with these three females in the next book.
The villains are equally as appealing. We have Kael, a corrupt God whom has escaped from the fifth level of the afterlife, Nox, the untrustworthy and shifty chancellor and finally the corrupt sorcerer, Merazar. These figures constantly brought a wave of unease with them, there wasn't a single scene in which they weren't plotting some form of evil. The character in which I find difficult to place is Valconius. At one point I almost expected a cliched love affair to develop between himself and Kerani, but certain events within the novel threw my assumptions up in the air and I really can't wait to see what Ms. Slight does with it!
The world building was excellent, I was instantly transported into this new world. The language was clear and the book was written beautifully. I recommend this book to any fantasy lover - or anyone that loves living in a world far away from their own. A truly amazing book.

From the Desk of Dr. Marc Smith…
A Question for the Doctor:
I have a 110 pound mix breed (Border Collie/St. Bernard) who was diagnosed with a partial tear of his left ACL. I have been treating Kody with conservative management for the past several months and it has been moderately successful but I was wondering if the prolotherapy could be another option for him to speed him on the road to recovery. I do not want to have the TPLO surgery and I do not believe that the tightrope surgery is a viable option for Kody either.
Dr. Smith's Reply:
First off, I'd like to thank you for sending this question via our website. As a matter of fact, we see this type of situation a good bit in our clinic. Oftentimes prolotherapy for partial ACL tears is an excellent choice and can provide better results than surgery in this type of situation.
Below is some information on prolotherapy that I believe you will find helpful. Please feel free to contact our office at any time with questions or to schedule a consultation. We look forward to helping you and Kody!
What is Prolotherapy?
Can It Help?
Absolutely!! Prolotherapy can help a lot of dogs with torn cruciate ligaments. It is not a substitute for surgery! I repeat! It is not a substitute for surgery!! Each dog has to be evaluated individually to determine if prolotherapy is a viable option.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
4 sessions 3 weeks apart is standard.
Does Prolotherapy Require Sedation?
Yes! The injections can be somewhat painful!
How Long Does an Appointment Take?
If you have fasted your dog before the procedure, then the procedure takes about 45 minutes. You bring your pet to the hospital, then we will sedate, shave and surgically clean the stifle. Next, we do the procedure and allow the sedation to wear off. This can all be accomplished in about 45 minutes while you wait.
What Can I Expect Afterwards?
Generally speaking, the next day your dog will walk better. However, the whole process takes 4 months so expect mild improvement over time.
What Are the Risks?
The risks are minimal and include: sterile inflammation, infection, and any risk associated with sedation/anesthesia. However, by far and away, the biggest risk is full thickness tear of the partially torn ligament. Why? Because after the treatments, these animals feel better. The leg feels better!! And they overuse the leg and subsequently tear the ligament in its entirety. In other words, they feel too good while the ligament is repairing itself and the leg is overused. Dogs receiving prolotherapy should be restrained as much as possible over the four month course of treatment. I know this sounds ridiculous but it increases the odds of success. Leash walk too over this four month time frame.
What Increases The Success Rate?
Weight loss!! If these dogs stay lean, the vast majority will respond great to prolotherapy.

This weekend I had the distinct pleasure of being the guest speaker at the CTRWA chapter monthly meeting. When Jennifer Fusco, the CTRWA Chapter President, asked if I could be a guest speaker, my answer was a big YES! I've been a professional public speaker and speaker trainer for over ten years, so it's a natural fit.
Just one problem…I was stumped about what topic to speak on.
I'm a relatively new author on the scene and I wouldn't dream of telling anyone how to write their book or coach them on characterization. I'm just not comfortable with that. However, through my company Taney Speaker Training I run full-day workshops on public speaking all the time. Why not offer a workshop for authors on communication skills and public speaking that is specifically designed for authors?
In my experience, most authors are introverted and love the solitude that comes with being a writer. They can create fantastical worlds and characters you'll never forget…but ask them to pitch an agent, editor or bookseller and they are suddenly at a loss for words.
So I took the highlights from my public speaking & communication skills workshop and geared it toward writers. I'm happy to report that the workshop went well and the feedback has been extremely positive. Phew! Good thing….because I'm delivering the same workshop at RT 2012 in April!
If you're interested in setting a up a workshop like this for you group or company, visit my website http://www.taneyspeakertraining.com
Me with the CTRWA gang!?
The CTRWA group was just wonderful! They were engaged, asked great questions and many of them were willing to get up in front of the group and work on some of the skills we touched on.
This is a shot of me and the CTRWA President
Jennifer Fusco!?
While I was there, Jen was kind enough to give me a copy of the latest book in her Market or Die series, Integrated Marketing Plan Advice for Writers. I read it in under two hours but then I went and got a highlighter and a pen so I could back and take notes.
If you are a writer, self-pubbed or traditional, you must get this book! The entire MOD series is a must-have for every author. She takes marketing, which can be a daunting task for many authors, and makes it easy! I mean…it's like marketing for dummies…but she doesn't make you feel like a dummy. When you read this book, it's like you have your own personal marketing professional (which she is by the way for her day job) walking you through the process.
My favorite part was the Mad-Libs type exercise when she shows you how to create a positioning statement for your books. I know. You may be thinking…What the hell is that? However, Jen explains it all clearly and simply.
If you're an author and attending RWA Nationals in Anaheim this year, then you must attend Jen's workshop–Integrated Marketing Advice for Writers! Can't go to the conference? Don't sweat it because you can pick up a copy of her book and when you read it, you'll feel like you have her right next to you walking you through the process.
You can get your copy here on Jen's Market or Die blog.

Dot had a great time at a mystery party last night, so today you are treated to a re-run of one of Dabbled's popular projects!
How to make a cute little elephant purse by recycling old sweaters.. I did this as a Christmas gift last year. It's simple to make, cheap, and was much loved by the recipients. This is my own design, and I encourage you to try it yourself and add your own spin!

Another version of the Ele-purse. (This one is sturdier and more colorful).
See all recycled sweater projects here.
A reader does her own take on the elepurse – Nifty!
July 08 – The Baby Elepurse
The Process:
In case anyone wants to try it, here's how i did it. And please do, just give me credit ;). I'm sure someone with more skill could do a much better job, and this is a very creative project, in that you could vary the materials, face, or construction and come up with a very different outcome. Be warned, this was a no-pattern trial and error experiment, so the directions may not be the best I've ever written. If I do it again, and anyone is interested, I might make a pattern.
I picked a sweater from the ones I had bought. This one was a light green lambswool, either a ladies or girls size.
The original idea was a backpack, but I didn't know how long to make the straps, so I decided to go with a bag instead.
the "body"
I started by cutting a square out of the bottom, leaving one side seam intact. I reversed it, and sewed it into a pouch (if i'd done the backpack idea, this would have also been when i added the straps in). The bottom finished edge of the sweater serves as the open top. The size could vary dependant on the size of the sweater (and the desired end result), but i made the pouch just slightly wider than the top of the sleeve of the sweater. Stitch a ribbon or whatever you want to use as a handle on either side of the pouch. If I'd been feeling ambitious i might have tried making the strap out of the sweater material, but I wasn't.
the trunk/head
I cut the sleeve off straight at the shoulder. Since this sweater had 3/4 length sleeves, I used the whole thing, but basically, you need it to be a few inches short of the length of the pouch. Turn the sleeve wrong side out, and center the seam in the back. Now to make the trunk skinnier: About half way down the length of the sleeve, mark with pins. Come in about 3/4 in (depending on the size of your sleeve) on either side of the finished sleeve end, and mark with pins. You want a couple of inches between the pins. Then one each side, sew diagonally from the end pin to the middle pin. Turn rightside out and see if it looks vaguely elephant head like!
Turn the pouch so that the front is showing. Turn the trunk so the back is showing, trunk pointing up.
Slide the top of the sleeve into the pouch about 1/2 in and sew in place to the back of the pouch. The head and trunk should form the flap of the purse now.
the face
I just guessed on the ears. Trial and error gave me a 45 degree triangle, with one side rounded off, and folded a bit to make them stand up. Hard to explain in writing :). I just tacked them on the sides of the head, and covered with buttons. Then added buttons for eyes, and that was about it! More embellishment might be fun too.

Motorcycle Accidents
Due to the small size of motorcycles, motorists often miss seeing motorcyclists who share the road with them until it is too late and a collision has occurred. In a motorcycle accident, the motorcyclist is likely to suffer serious injuries, while someone in a car may walk away unscathed. Far too many people assume that a rider was at fault and are biased against riders who are hurt. It is important to consult a skilled injury attorney who understands motorcycle culture and what you are going through as a victim. Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorney Devin Sawdayi can help you explore your options and bring a claim against anyone who may have been responsible for the crash in which you were hurt.Seeking Compensation for Injuries in a Motorcycle Accident
If you are injured on a motorcycle due to a collision with a larger vehicle, you most likely will need to prove the negligence of the other driver to recover compensation. You would try to establish the driver's duty toward you to use reasonable care, the driver's failure to live up to this duty, causation, and damages. A driver's breach of duty may consist of numerous different acts and omissions, including driving while distracted, drunk driving, driving while fatigued, or failing to obey traffic rules, such as yielding the right of way.
When a driver violates a safety rule, and this violation is the cause of your accident, you may be able to establish negligence per se. This theory is also known as negligence as a matter of law, and it applies when a defendant violated a safety rule, the violation caused the plaintiff's injuries, the plaintiff is the type of person that the rule was intended to protect, and the accident was the type of event that the rule was meant to avert. For example, if your loved one was killed on a motorcycle because a truck driver violated hours of service regulations or ran a red light, you may be able to allege negligence per se. In general, if negligence per se applies, the primary issue in a lawsuit becomes the scope of the compensation that the defendant must pay.
In some cases, motorcycle accidents are the result of dangerous property conditions rather than another driver's negligence. For example, a motorcyclist driving through an unmarked construction zone may be seriously injured by the uneven pavement. In a premises liability case, a motorcyclist must establish that there was a dangerous condition about which the property owner knew or should have known, and the property owner failed to take steps to correct the condition or provide warnings. If the owner of the road is the government, there is a much shorter window of time within which to provide notice to the government of your claim, so you should consult an attorney right away.
Forms of compensation that commonly may be recovered if you establish a defendant's negligence include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, medical bills, lost income, and the costs of future treatment, among others.Discuss Your Motorcycle Accident Case with a Los Angeles Attorney

Although the tech space is booming and has been booming since a while now, the number of women with tech careers as compared to men is just 18-20%. Not just for India, this holds true all across the world as well. One tends to wonder why? Is it that women would be any inferior in this field? Or is it just that many don't even know that they have an aptitude towards it? Or what is it about?.
I attended Girls in Tech by PayPal in Chennai. PayPal's belief in diversity led them to ideate about 4 years back as to how they can entice women into the field of tech. This led them to devise Girls In Tech which is a program where girls at a very young age group of 8-14 are exposed to tech. This is the age when girls form their dreams about the future and PayPal decided to grab a bit of their mindspace, so they know they can dream in this direction too. It's relatively easy to understand what a doctor does or what a pilot does but when we have to imagine what a tech person does, a lot of us are clueless so obviously we cannot blame kids for not dreaming in that direction. When you have not tasted something, how can you crave it?
About Girls In Tech
Girls in Tech gives young girls a hands-on experience and understanding of technology at an early-stage. This is for girls in the age-group of 8-14 years. PayPal has been conducting these workshops since 2015. At these workshops, girls are exposed to tech in a very non-invasive and engaging manner. The practical aspect of this workshop helps the girls to imbibe the curriculum naturally. I was amazed at the way the workshop was structured. They exposed the girls to a visual programming software called Scratch, where each day they were given a task. Completing the task led them to learning the software. For girls who were in the advanced batches, they taught application softwares. The enthusiasm was amazing and the girls were truly brilliant.
PayPal's objective is to expose girls to tech and understand their aptitude. What they have noticed is that several girls continue to progress with learning these softwares and come back year after year while others realize it's not their game.
Shadowing an Engineer
It was amazing to see the inquisitiveness of the girls. One section of the workshop included shadowing an engineer at PayPal and understand what their day feels like. The questions that these future techies had were amazing. From understanding the role of the engineer to knowing what PayPal is about, they wanted to know it all.
Public Demand
#PayPalGirlsInTech started in India at the Chennai tech centre in 2015, the success of the program also led to its expansion in PayPal's Bangalore tech centre. Till date 100 girls have participated in the program. The participants are primarily children of PayPal employees. On public demand of the employees, this program was also extended to the boys through Kids In Tech.
The Fun Element
To keep the program light and the participants interested, second half of the day has some interesting activities like practical science experiments, dance sessions, robotics, craft and so on. The girls were bubbling with excitement and proudly showed me all that they had being doing from making UV pens to origami butterflies. Their enthusiasm along with that of the organizing team was contagious.
PayPal's commitment to diversity helped in devising this amazing program which will serve the long term need to entice women into the tech force. The practical method of conducting the workshop will ensure the long-term efficacy of the program. Good wishes to all the participants of #PayPalGirlsinTech #OnTheRoadtoSTEM

Lucy's quotes:
HBO's little known gem, Flight of the Conchords ran for one season this year and has been canceled. We will always have that one season of deadpan delight though and of course, their music. The show chronicles an attempt at fame by a contemporary New Zealand folk duo. . .folk/rock/reggae/rap. . .and I'm not sure what else. With them is their only fan, Mel [Comedian Kristen Schaal] and their manager Murray Hewitt aka Gingerballs [comedian Rhys Darby]. They come to America from New Zealand and they are ultimately outdone by a bossy bongo player. . . What more could you want in a TV series?
Bret McKenzie as Bret, who is sadly the ladies' man of the two:
''The eggs were really nice, like your lips...So....your lips look delicious...like as delicious as the eggs...probably more delicious.''
. . .Man that guy is smooooooth.
Watch Bret's moves as he pulls the classic Flight of the Conchords move by slipping into a music video out of nowhere. The only time the shy, reserved and hilariously dull singers break out of their quiet shell is when they morph into their musical personas, often with their embarrassing rap names. Jermaine-played by Jermaine Clement shows up along with what must be the finest backup dancers in all of hip hop:

Truck Graphics & Paintjobs - Zero Clearance
Time For A Change Or Time To Stop?
Folks will get a chance to read the complete coverage in the July issue, but I thought I'd share a few thoughts with everyone from the Goodguys' season opener in Costa Mesa, California, before this issue goes to press. I got to wondering, how does a person know when they're done with their truck, or if they've even finished it? After the show ended on Saturday I was heading north on the 405 and for some dumb reason I couldn't get this question out of my mind. It might have been because I ate way too many deep-fried artichoke hearts, or chugged down too many mega-energy drinks. I kept thinking about some of the trucks I saw there that have not been changed since heartbeat graphics and teal paintjobs were in. I'm not saying that teal isn't a pretty color because it's fine, but with so many of my friends flat-lining lately who wants to be reminded of a heartbeat? Although on the other hand the thought of heartbeat graphics does take me back to another time and place. It was in 1987 and the bright red DuPont enamel with a urethane crosslinker on my '65 F-250 was still shiny. I had a long-legged blonde girlfriend who looked like she had just strutted off the cover of Street Rodder magazine. The July '88 issue to be exact, but that's a story for another day, and definitely not to appear in this magazine. Getting back to what I was talking about, how does a person know when they've finished their truck, or gone too far? What happens to make a completed truck freeze in time? Is it like when a young couple gets married, buys furniture and then many years later they've become the grandpa and grandma with the weird antique furnishings or was it a conscious decision not to change? I can't really say, but one can't knock the guys who are still sporting '70's and '80's customizing trends, because if it wasn't for guys like them, we wouldn't have a bunch of cool survivors from the '50s and '60s around either. I'm not sure why these trucks stay the same though. Is it because the fellows who own them think they are perfect, and there's not one more thing that can be done, or is it all about the wallet? If someone were to take a critical look at my collection of my old trucks, I'm sure they'd say it must be a matter of time, and money.
There's another category of customized classic truck that's always in abundance at the car shows and that's the ones where the owner didn't quite know when it was time to stop and start on another truck. I have a theory on this, several actually. I think some of the overdone trucks, are because something tragic has occurred, and the owner didn't want to take it out of service. A good example that comes to mind is a close friend who kind of leans to the artsy-craftsy side when he has to do something to his truck. I always have to chuckle when I think of the time he made a matching pair of full scale '59 Corvette coves out of tooled leather that screamed in big fancy letters 1956 Ford F-100 and then plastered them over a brand-new door dent that was only on one side. My friend explained that not only was the dent gone, his truck looked cool, but it only took him a few days to whittle them out while he never had to quit driving. In my opinion all he needed to finish the truck off would have been to use Waylon Jennings' belt buckle, with some big cow horns for a hood ornament. Next in line is what I call the Mexican General treatment. Like all of the medals usually found on a Mexican General's chest these trucks are adorned from one end to the other with bright gee-gaws and baubles to denote a battle or historic occasion. Look inside and on the dashboard there will be anodized aluminum mini-plaques from truck shows and runs that date back sequentially to 1977. Outside on the grille and tailgate, there will be little white oval plaques with black lettered abbreviations denoting some country that no one has ever been to, or even heard of. Gee, it looks like I'm running out of space. So okay, did any of you guys learn anything from reading this? I didn't think so. Did any of you forget about all of the miserable things that are going on in the world today? Good, because that's all I was really trying to do. --John Gilbert

Jihadists cheer Trump victory
November 9, 2016
The decline of conservative internationalism
The Lebanese who support Trump
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pulled a stunner on Tuesday by defeating his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. Much ink will be spilled over why and how Trump trounced the Democrats. Suffice it to say, his victory was driven by rural White America voting against urban diverse America. Trump won the elder generation, while Clinton bagged the majority of young voters, an alarming trend for Republicans and their political future.
Until the future is here, America and the world will have to deal with a man who has not held any sort of governmental office, not even been elected as a member of a local council. This inexperienced Tump will be supervising the world's biggest government and strongest military.
Trump's supporters argue that his lack of government experience makes him an outsider and injects Washington with much needed new blood. They also believe that because Trump showed success in expanding his considerable inheritance, they expect him to show similar competence running America.
But America is not a company. While successful businessmen live by the rule of the "survival of the fittest," governments mitigate individual greed and alleviate the suffering of the less fortunate.
Trump's team has so far promised a throwback to the same tested-and-failed Lafer Curve voodoo economics: Cut taxes to incentivize capital, which goes to work, creating jobs and new revenues, which in turn will offset tax cuts. That's in principle. In practice, such a scheme worked for America's legendary President Ronald Reagan only because his government substituted its lost tax revenue with debt. As lower taxes delivered a short-term jolt and the government maintained its high spending — especially on defense — America's economy under Reagan saw unprecedented growth and prosperity.
But no government, including Washington, can borrow endlessly. Reagan's expansion was so short-lived that he had to raise taxes, and so did his successor George Bush Senior, a step that cost Bush reelection in 1992 in the midst of a recession.
One wishes, however, that Trump implements voodoo economics as planned. Instead, Trump cherry picks in a way that will make the Reagan plan go worse, faster. His amended Reagan economic plan creates contradictions.
Trump has promised to raise tariffs to balance deficits with America's trade partners. Decreased trade means less revenue for the government. Trump has also promised to fine American companies that do not re-shore their factories (bring them back from overseas). How will American corporations be incentivized to unleash the power of their capital, and abandon inversion plans (relocation to other countries) if Trump forces them to re-shore manufacturing, even at higher cost? What kind of free market decides for American companies where to open factories or which workers to hire?
Because Trump is a businessman, not an economist, he is probably unfamiliar with the literature that blames the slowing down of the world's biggest economies on their aging populations. In America, aging is believed to have subtracted one percent from GDP growth, from three percent in the 1990s to two percent over the past 16 years. With US national debt at around 100 percent, Trump will not be able to fund higher GDP growth with more government debt.
America's economic problems are structural. Policies, short of fundamental changes in demographics and other factors, can only mitigate economic troubles to an extent. It is unlikely that the US economy — now nearing the time of its cyclical recession — will be humming and churning with high paying manufacturing jobs, like Trump promised.
Come 2018 midterm elections, without delivering on his economic promises, Trump will see his popularity nosedive, and Republicans might lose the Senate, leaving Trump's second term in jeopardy.
Trump's failure as chief executive does not, in and by itself, threaten America. The US has seen many messiah figures ride the horse of hope in an election and produce only disappointment while in office. Between his "election smile" and his "malaise speech," former President Jimmy Carter lost favor with America, and eventually his bid for reelection. He might be the best example of how Americans can be duped by self-anointed messiahs, after which they regret their decision fast and throw their president out of office faster.
But knowing Trump, and judging by his character and campaign, the fear is that the man will revert to the only way he knows to keep his base fired up: Scaremongering and instigating his base against other Americans. Scapegoating others for one's failures is a known autocratic policy in failing states.
If Trump turns criticism against him into identity politics and clings on to power, the same way Republicans unconstitutionally blocked the replacement of a conservative Supreme Court judge, America might be sailing into unchartered territory. That's the scary side of Trump that threatens America, its democracy and the world at large.

Remember Me
mmmm liberal tears.. taste so good..
November 12, 2016
Sounds like you've enjoyed other liberal body fluids in the past.
November 13, 2016
Man up, Perez Hilton. You sound like an old lady. You'll be the first one thanking President Trump in a couple of years.
November 15, 2016
Regarding politics... He does not want to support and defend all and everybody for free! The US cannot support longer the costs alone. Is that wrong? Who ever needs their help has to spend also for his defense and not only enjoying the benefits of the free billions offered by the US. He is proposing to discuss with Russia the "enemy"! What is wrong with that? It will avoid wars and troubles. He wants less American troops abroad! Isn't it what everybody complains about? Now that a President is planning to do so, they all call him names. I will remind all of those that are doing so that WB came to power with same foreign policy intention. Thanks to some, and it is not CIA, FBI and all the conspiracy bullshit we have been hearing about, they made sure with 11 SEP to bring them back. We can here again debate for days... The most important for us is what his election can bring to Lebanon. One thing is sure, Hezbollah will be the one paying the bill after Syria and Iran will be neutralized not to bother anybody anymore, and this is why he has accepted to see Aoun elected and will also accept the next government and the one after. The rice will be to ease the pain he will endure if he keeps acting the same way.
November 11, 2016
Anything that is being said about Trump is bull....t! It starts with his alleged ignorance, to his lack of experience, etc... Time will show. I am a business man myself and apart, in very rare occasions, within the Arab world, I rarely met an ignorant one. They are all very much aware of everything. Those supporting these sort of allegations without proofs or proper arguments are the stupid ones. The man is successful in his businesses as well as a father. His empire and children are the proofs all the rest is bull...t! What he will do though is another issue. Regarding internal US social & economical policies, honestly we do not give a dam as they do not concern us. As far as international economics are concerned, whether we like it or not we are all connected. One bank in the State went busted and the world is still suffering to date of it. Therefore, the US need to restore their economy for all of us to profit from it too. It is in our interest to see a strong US economy and this will only happen if Trump manages to balance it. He wants to impose foreign products and services? Let it be! We will do the same for US ones! It is ethical to treat others the way we are treated. So I do not see the worry here. Everybody is complaining about the Chinese dumping in their markets. Well it is an opportunity to put more pressure on China to integrate the world system and accept to have a free Yuan just like other currencies. What is wrong with that? And we can go on....
Yet, the Lebanese love Trump. 72% said they favored him over Clinton. This says that the Lebanese are generally either desperate or stupid, or that they actually believe in Santa Claus, snowmen, unicorns, Superman and the like (they in fact do, except they have other names for their cave-dwelling bearded heroes who hear voices and heal diseases). No wonder they managed to turn the country into a slaughterhouse and a garbage dump for 4 decades now.
November 10, 2016
Excellent piece. If his outlandish promises were merely tactical just to get elected, then he is unlikely to act on them, thus eroding very quickly , as you point out, the very discontented base that elected him. But if his promises were genuine reflections of his ignorant thinking, and he proceeds to implement them, then he is bound to cause much havoc, across his own party, his own country at large, and internationally as well, thus sealing his demise. But having his stupid hands on the dangerous buttons is indeed scary. One hopes that more enlightened Republicans will surround him and control his temper tantrums and uncontrolled verbal diarrheas. Either way, his election does indeed represent the early twilight of WASP-dominated America. Statistics say that by 2050, WASP Americans will no longer be a majority. Unlike all other immigrations, which eventually stopped and assimilated, the vast reservoir of Latin American immigrants and its abutting geographical proximity to the continental US make it unlikely to ever stop and thus of never assimilating. Trump is thus like Nero, a prophet of doom called upon by his disciples to usher the fall of Rome.
Excellent piece of writing.

Being taught how to fish
I am not sure exactly which side of midnight it was when I finished editing and reviewing the video before leaving it to upload. The kids, or one of them woke me around five am and I was up to check if it had all worked out with the upload while I slept. An hour later I was stood on the street waiting for a lift to a lake out of town. I was showing a new fishing buddy one of the lakes I normally fish when there is enough petrol money in the kitty.
At the lake it was still enough for a little of the previous night's, cool air to have hung on in the shadows while the sun poked at the mist. We made our way along wading in the shallows and throwing shiny things about until the water deepened. It was not too long before I got my first taste of action as a largish pike took one of my soft plastic grubs close in.It walked, danced and rolled and then cut my line above the trace. I wound in and inspected the clean cut braid remembering it was 50lb.
A few minutes later Rolandas took a jack twenty yards away. I moved up the lake and it wasn't long before I heard some more splashes from his direction, twenty minutes later he was shouting and I ran back to find him with something a little larger. So I was being taught how to fish again and as a good student I raided his tackle box for another spinner to match his. It didn't work and by lunch time we had finished and it was off for home. Three to nil, but what a morning by the water.

Microsoft Word allows users to create documents filled with text, graphics and other information. If your materials, such as brochures, newsletters or reports, can't be contained on a single side of a page, you're able to create double-sided documents just as you would a regular page. As you work in Word, the software automatically adds a new page for you when you come to the end of a first. Double-sided document creation gives you twice as much space on the same sheet of paper.
Open Word, which automatically defaults into a single, blank page on the screen. Begin typing the document, such as a headline or a list of tasks.
Highlight the words and use the controls in the Font section of the ribbon at the top of the screen to change the font, increase text size and change text colour.
Add images to the document by clicking the "Insert" tab at the top of the page and clicking the "Clip Art" button below it. Type a description into the Search For box and click "Go," then double-click a graphic to add it to the document. Repeat to add more graphics.
Add a logo, photograph or other item by clicking the "Insert" tab and clicking the "Picture" button below it. Click "Browse" and navigate to the item to add. Double-click it and it is added to the document.
Press the "Ctrl" and "Enter" buttons on the keyboard to add another page to the Word document if you haven't already got to the bottom of the first page and had Word automatically create your next page.
Type additional information like "Continued from page 1" or "Please flip over" as desired to make your readers aware that your document is double sided.
Click the "File" tab, click "Save As" and type a name for the document. Save it to your computer.
Click the "File" tab and click "Print." Pull down the "Print One Sided" menu and select "Manually Print on Both Sides." Nudge the Number of Copies box up to the number of times to print the document (both sides) and click the "Print" button.
Most recent
- Most basic, inexpensive home printers are not capable of printing double sided. If you have a large office printer, you'll be able to print double sided. Otherwise, after creating the double-sided document, you'll need to send the first page to your printer, flip it over, reinsert it into the print tray and print page two separately.

Writing an introduction
Contrary to what you might think, writing the introduction and the conclusion of an essay can prove to be quite difficult and time-consuming. The introduction and the conclusion provide a frame for the essay, and should give your essay a clear and effective beginning and ending. This section concerns writing introductions; for more information on writing conclusions, see Writing a Conclusion.
By providing a carefully written introduction, you offer the reader a transition into the particular world of your analysis, your take on the subject that you are writing about, and your thinking. In other words, your introduction should provide a kind of road map to reading your paper. To your reader, your paper is a foreign landscape and your introduction can offer a guide to finding the way. Often, introductions offer a wealth of information that the rest of the essay addresses in greater detail. A good introduction will do the following:
A possible method for writing an introduction
You don't necessarily have to write your introduction first. As a matter of fact, you will most likely have to write (or at least re-write) your introduction once you are done with the main body of your essay. You will be in the best position to explain what your essay is about after you have written it.
After having read your assignment carefully, and after you have done some research, write a thesis statement and a preliminary explanation of what you are planning to do in your essay, and let this be your introduction for now. In this way your introduction will also serve as your own roadmap as you write your paper. As you write it is important to keep in mind that your argument might go in a different direction than you had originally planned. This is perfectly natural; actually it is to be expected. However, that is why it is necessary that you return to your introduction at the end of the writing process in order to make sure that the introduction accurately reflects the argument and structure of your paper.
Start your paper with something interesting. Avoid starting your paper with statements such as "In this paper I argue...", "This paper explains...", "My paper will argue that...". Though statements such as these point to the paper's argument, they are stiff and boring. Your introduction should grab the reader's interest, which these statements do not do. Instead of saying
This paper will argue that many movements of the Baroque suite originated as dances.
you might want to say
Many movements of the Baroque suite originated as dances.
and then go on to explain why and how you plan to prove your assertion. This makes for a much more confident and active introduction.
Other possible ways to start your introduction:
First Impression
Finally, always remember that your introduction is your chance to make a good first impression. If your introduction is dull, full of mistakes, too general, or without an argument, your reader is going to assume that your paper will follow that pattern. Such an introduction will make your reader approach your paper with great skepticism.
