Paul Graham has made available a tarball prerelease of his new arc language. I'm currently running Ubuntu gutsy on my laptop so it needs a quick patch
~/lisp> tar -xvf ~/tmp/arc0.tar
~/lisp> cd arc0
~/lisp/arc0> wget http://blakeley.com/linux-date.patch
~/lisp/arc0> patch arc.arc linux-date.patch
~/lisp/arc0> rlwrap -C arc mzscheme -m -f as.scm
Use (quit) to quit, (tl) to return here after an interrupt.
then you can go through the tutorial, or play with the webserver, which we'll start in a new thread
arc> (defop hello req (pr "hello world"))
arc> (= webtest (thread asv))
#<thread: asv>
arc> ready to serve port 8080
and then look at http://localhost:8080/hello
The prompt doesn't quite come back correctly here, but you can carry on typing
(defop hello req (pr "hello world changed"))
and refresh the browser. Kill the thread and quit with
arc> (break-thread webtest)
arc> (quit)
Though initially disappointed that there was no native compiler (written in arc of course!), I've warmed to the syntax – I didn't find myself in a fighting the language, or frustrated that I had to reinvent stuff I didn't want to e.g., here's how to split up a string using spaces or commas
arc> (tokens "abc def,ghi" [in _ #\ #\,])
("abc" "def" "ghi")
There's plenty to play with by reading through the source. So far, it feels fun.

The. Bra. BROKE.
One of the straps broke clean in two, with ten minutes to go before the end of my exercise class. It was mortifying. I had to spend the rest of the class with one of my arms clasped to my chest, doing all the exercises one-sided. I mean, I say mortifying – it was mostly just hilarious (my fitness teacher laughed for five solid minutes when I told her), but it also really freaked me out. We all know that we SHOULD wear sports bras, right? They're better for your back, and all sorts. But this was a clear, tangible sign that some bras are physically not STRONG enough to support your bouncing boobies during exercise.
That's a pretty extreme situation, but the ramifications of not wearing a sports bra are very real. If your boobs aren't properly supported and are bouncing about all over the place (you're loving the imagery, I hope), you're actually making gradual, small tears in the tissue inside your breasts. This is permanent. You know those old ladies you see on the street with boobs down to their waistband? That's most likely from a lifetime of never wearing a bra.
Until now I've been wearing a very cheap sports bra from Primark. It does the job, but the elastic is already stretchier than it was and I've been worrying that it wasn't helping all that much. So when LingeriePlease offered to send me a Triumph bra to test-drive for Where Are My Knees, I obviously jumped at the chance.
I actually can't recommend it enough. The bra is very well-fitted, but also not uncomfortable. In fact, I'm not really aware I'm wearing it at all. But it's seen me through several very energetic Zumba classes, with hardly a bounce in sight (and I'm an E cup). I wore my older bra the other week and really noticed the difference – wearing a good bra made me realise how supported I wasn't.
What about you? Are you wearing a good bra to exercise in? Or is it on your to do list?

Trends favoring online pro bono
A 2013 study done by the Pew Research Center indicates that 85% of American adults are internet users and that 70% of American adults have some sort of high-speed internet connection in their home. As of 2013, sixty-four percent of households with incomes between $20-$30,000 have internet accessibility and fifty-four percent of households with incomes between $10-$20,000 had internet access (as of the 2013 study). The Pew study showed a dramatic increase in smart phone ownership just in the two year period between May, 2011 and May, 2013, so these numbers probably underestimate present internet access via smart phone usage as of the spring, 2015.
The trends are clearly in favor of increased internet usage. There is no reason to believe that use of the internet for requesting and receiving legal advice will not continue to grow with every passing year. It is also clear that although limited scope advice, whether provided in a walk-in clinic, a telephone bank, or over the internet, is no substitute for unlimited scope representation, limited scope advice can provide an invaluable tool to low income residents who cannot possibly afford a lawyer.
History of interactive pro bono websites in the U.S.
We know from experience that interactive websites can successfully help thousands of low income citizens. For the last four years, the Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services and Tennessee Bar Association has operated an interactive pro bono website entitled www.ONLINETNJUSTICE.org. On this website, volunteer lawyers sign up to provide pro bono legal answers to low-income families across Tennessee. The site has helped over 8,000 clients since it was launched in 2011. Since 2011, the states of Alabama, Indiana, Minnesota, South Carolina and West Virginia have launched similar interactive pro bono websites, using the same software. Those sites have operated under the respective names of www.Alabamalegalanswers.org, www.Indianalegalanswers.org, www.MNlegaladvice.org, www.SClawanswers.org and www.WVonlinelegalhelp.org. Our firm owns the rights to the software and licenses it to responsible organizations for free under a licensing agreement.
Benefits to lawyer volunteers
The experience in Tennessee and in the other states which have launched interactive websites has been that these websites provide a significant benefit to lawyers. Government and corporate lawyers, who have difficulty providing pro bono in the public arena, are able to provide pro bono services online. Senior lawyers who no longer have a traditional practice are grateful to have the opportunity to use their considerable experience for the benefit of low income clients. Lawyers who are disabled or are on family or medical leave or who have taken a break from traditional practice to assume child-rearing responsibilities, are also happy to have the opportunity to continue to use their skills for the benefit of low income clients. Lawyers also like the fact that they can do pro bono any time of the day or night in any location with internet access. On the internet, lawyers can do pro bono while they sit with their children, while in a doctor's waiting room, an airport gate, or while riding in a car, bus or train. These sites would also provide opportunities for law student/lawyer collaborations.
The experience in all the states which have launched these sites so far has shown that this online pro bono tool is an important part of the mosaic of pro bono services lawyers can render in carrying out the highest ideals of our profession.
Benefits to low-income clients
The benefits to clients are obvious. Clients in rural areas with very few if any lawyers in their area or in urban areas where the clinics are difficult to attend can get access to advice. In Tennessee, for example, we have had many heart-warming stories about clients who have been able to remain in their homes by asserting their statutory and common law rights they learned about online, clients who have struck better compromise arrangements with creditors as a result of understanding their rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act or federal bankruptcy laws and, of course, clients who have received advice on how to find unlimited scope representation for matters of critical importance such as child custody and conservatorship. Often it is more difficult to create public awareness of a local limited scope clinic than to create public awareness about the existence of a website. Having one web portal allows public awareness to be promoted on a state-wide basis. Of course, a pro bono website is there 24/7/365 for clients – a walk in clinic may not be held but once a month or even once a quarter.
Presently, in addition to Alabama, Indiana, Minnesota, South Carolina and West Virginia, we have signed licensing agreements with Arizona, Mississippi, Wisconsin and Montana. Also, the ABA Pro Bono Committee is in the process of exploring the feasibility of a national pro bono website to which all states would have access. If you are interested in launching a site in your state and/or if you would be interested in having your state participate in a national site, please contact me at email@example.com or Samantha Sanchez at the Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services at firstname.lastname@example.com.
George "Buck" Lewis is a partner at the law firm Baker Donelson and chair of the firm's Appellate Practice Litigation Group. Mr. Lewis is the past president of the Memphis Bar Foundation, the Tennessee Bar Association, and the Tennessee Supreme Court Access to Justice Commission. He's a recipient of the ABA Presidential Citation for Access to Justice and inaugural Justice Janice Holder Award from Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services.

Being able to add Diagnostic PICOs

Merging PICOs
When importing PICOs from RevMan or reviewing the PICOs made by others, it is sometimes easier to organize the PICOs in a different way. For instance, Cochrane often organises their PICOs on types of outcomes (1 PICO for effectiveness, 1 PICO for adverse effects). However, in MAGIC it may be easier to view both the positive and negative outcomes in the same PICO. Therefore it would be nice to be able to move an outcome to another PICO or to simply merge 2 PICOs into the same.4 votes

Every so often a book comes along that creates a real buzz. Everyone seems to be talking about it and it's all over social media, particularly in the sphere of Twitter's reviewers, readers and bloggers.

The Roanoke girls seem to have it all. But there's a dark truth about them which is never spoken. Every girl either runs away, or dies.
Lane is one of the lucky ones. When she was fifteen, over one long, hot summer at her grandparents' estate in rural Kansas, she found out what it really means to be a Roanoke girl. Lane ran, far and fast. Until eleven years later, when her cousin Allegra goes missing – and Lane has no choice but to go back.
She is a Roanoke girl.
Is she strong enough to escape a second time?

Posse! I've missed you! Sometimes the very unfun pieces of real life get completely in the way of all of the fun in the Posse-verse. Just dreadful. How about some news instead?!
So much has happened! First, Happy St. Patrick's Day! Yay! Did you celebrate?
Adi's had loads of streaming happening and we've even had some new games in the mix! He's completed the Far Cry 4 streams so make sure you keep up with the videos as they are posted to Youtube. If you've enjoyed Adi's roleplay of Far Cry 4 and you haven't yet checked out his other roleplay series, make sure you do! There are loads to choose from in the playlist section. Leave him a little love as you're watching. A like, a comment. Let him know you were there!
There have been plenty of other games on stream if Far Cry 4 wasn't your cup of tea. The always fantastic fan favorite Posse Wrasslin should be a go to for loads of laughs and all the title change drama you crave! We've had a Posse Up! stream with some Borderlands. Also had a little Rock Band to shake it up. But not just any Rock Band, no no. Adi really kicked it up with some Beatles Rock Band! Adi's also started taking us into the world of L.A. Noire complete with assistance from the Posse! Make sure you follow Adi on Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and here at TheAdiposeTV so you don't miss out!
Of course we've had loads of our favorite gem matching game between our amazing weekly Doctor Who: Legacy streams (with guest lists that range from the incredible Legacy team members to the one and only Facebook mod extraordinaire, Sharee, marvelous Posse peeps and even actors from Doctor Who!) as well as pop up streams during Adi's race to complete the expert levels in order to bring an expert Adipose to the game! For those of you in the United States who have moved in to Daylight Savings Time, you may have noticed last week's stream wasn't at its usual time. The UK will be moving their clocks forward on March 29, so until then, the stream time will be an hour later than you are used to. The April 2 stream will be back to our time zones being in sync. Mark your calendars accordingly!
The great thing about Adi's streams is that it's not just games. The chat is active 24/7 and you'll almost always find some Posse members and Adi fans just hanging out chatting away. But in addition to the game streams, we have plenty of other streams going on as well. Are you a House of Cards fan? Have you watched Season 3 yet? Adi has and was able to share a review of the season that you can check out right here.
We're also moving right along in our weekly review streams of the relaunched Doctor Who episodes. We recently discussed Series 3, Episode 7: 42, a double review of Series 3, Episodes 8 and 9: Human Nature/The Family of Blood and Series 3, Episode 10: Blink. Stop by the chat this week to find out about the next review show so you can join us!
Let's talk Posse!
Our very own tabitenor17 has put together a great piece looking at some Posse art. Head over to check out her Flashback Friday AdiMemes! Love it. Thanks for the images smallbluemonkey and JenDivine!
We don't have any birthdays to announce this week. Stop by the chat and let us know if you want to be on the list so we can celebrate your day in our news section!
What we do have is tons of Posse-versaries! A whopping THIRTEEN to celebrate! A very happy Posse-versary to Angelina_M, ConfuseThePolarity, JenniferHeckel, JodyNye, js42day, Judge1232, Magical12325, SmallBlueMonkey, Spazz981, Tabitenor17, TomBakerFan73, Web247, and WhoIsTheMole. Yay! Six months of Posse awesomeness! If you haven't renewed your subscription in the Possiest Posse to ever Posse, make sure you stop by the chat and talk to one of the mods about renewing!

...our Little Peanuts.
*Just* finished this piece! It's needle-felted wool, polymer clay + cut paper. My good friend from Kent recently had twins, and their entire nursery is decked out in elephants (only with their trunks UP--that's good luck she says.)
For an EPIC behind-the-scenes on this piece.... go HERE!
(...hoping she doesn't check my blog; she's not getting this until Thursday...)

Absolutely astonishing! You should do more in the felt. The step by step is interesting as well.ReplyDelete
Thanks! The felt is really fun to do.... once in a while.ReplyDelete
It's a v e r y s l o w process! I like being able to crank out clay/cut paper quickly.
Wow! Nice! I can believe it took a long time. Very cute.ReplyDelete
They're gonna love it!
That's incredible! Thanks so much for sharing the process and wonderful piece!ReplyDelete
very cool multi media! We tried finding you at the store on Sat - when do you usually work?ReplyDelete
Very nice! It's be cool to see picture books done this way.ReplyDelete

A quick update on The Urban Studio fall happenings:
The Urban Studio welcomed friends to view the work of the summer participants while enjoying creative drink specials and live music by Last To Show First To Go. Thanks to everyone who made the night truly smashing!
If you would like to be on our e-mail list for future events and fundraisers, please e-mail Phil Valko at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Urban Studio Opens Its Doors to a Packed House for Gallery Fundraiser Night:
The Urban Studio also participated in Art Outside, the alternative art fair held at Schlafly's Bottleworks. We invited people young and old to get their hands dirty and draw their houses with charcoal, and adults answered questions about their community. These answers and house drawings will be assembled into a ticky-tacky town mural of St. Louis! We will, of course, keep you updated on the mural progress and whereabouts.
Artists proudly displaying their charcoal houses:
A young fair-goer works diligently on his masterpiece:
On November 2, The Linus Foundation hosted a benefit gala for The Urban Studio at the St. Louis Contemporary Art Gallery featuring an open bar, a live band, and amazing Maya Lin sculptures. The event was nothing short of stupendous, drawing more than 500 people! The Linus Foundation is an organization run by Washington University students that throws parties for a good cause. We are incredibly appreciative to them for choosing The Urban Studio as their recipient for a second year in a row and for working so hard to make this event a success. A big thank you to everyone who attended the event as well!

Looking at and Grabbing Items From the Updated Blogotex (pt1)
Looking at and Grabbing Items From the Updated Blogotex (pt1)
Hi there! Today I put together a look from my Blogotex finds when looking over all the updated features. What was added, what was changed, and how i feel about it.
When blogotex first came out, I loved and hated it. It was annoying I could never actually talk to the designer or CSR and I felt like I couldn't keep up with deadlines.
Adding an option to look at items, to chat in a group, to leave notes, to take vacations..it's pretty amazing and I'm impressed.
I also feel it's a great plus having blogotex when you might have a limited amount of groups in secondlife. I do feel I still struggle with grabbing items without reminders or it right in my face..but otherwise, I like it a lot. What do you think?
Check out part 2 where I set up the actual photo and lighting and part 3 where I edit the photo in photoshop:
give it a go editing here:

CAPTRUST's Jason Stephens, director of nonqualified executive benefits, kicked off the SouthWest Benefits Association (SWBA) Annual Conference, delivering a pre-conference workshop on nonqualified deferred compensation issues. He presented the findings from a recent research study that analyzed potential retirement accumulation at a range of income levels. In attendance were CAPTRUST's John Pickett, Travis Whitten, and John Matejka. The three-day SWBA event was held in Corpus Christi, TX on May 13.
Employees at all income levels face obstacles as they prepare and save for retirement. But the issues are especially acute for higher wage earners restricted by Social Security and qualified retirement plan limitations. Stephens' workshop discussed the unique retirement challenges many higher income professionals face as published in a paper titled "Striking the Limit."
Stephens' research—published in April—indicates that individuals earning more than $200,000 a year cannot achieve a comfortable retirement relying on Social Security benefits and qualified plan savings alone. However, he said, "Employers can positively impact retirement readiness for this employee group by offering nonqualified deferred compensation plans to help them save more on a tax-favored basis."
The Southwest Benefits Association Annual Conference is the region's premier benefits education and networking event for elite benefits professionals.

The Power of TED
Do you ever find yourself completely worn out by the relational storms around you? Perhaps it's your relationship with a spouse, or a teenager. Maybe it's your boss, or your work environment. Wouldn't you love to find a way to deal with these kinds of storms in a positive and proactive way?
One of the books that is often on our "Recommended Reading" list is called "The Power of TED*" TED is an acronym for The Empowerment Dynamic. You may be wondering what The Empowerment Dynamic is and how it can affect you. In a nutshell, this book is about the simple act of leaving the Drama Triangle for a new way of living—known as The Empowerment Dynamic.
What is the Drama Triangle? The Drama Triangle, first described by Stephen Karpman, describes three damaging or unhelpful mindsets – The Victim, The Persecutor, and The Rescuer. If and when you find yourself operating from any of the three unhelpful mindsets, you may feel trapped in the Drama Triangle and you may experience accompanying negative emotions in your life.
In "The Power of TED," author David Emerald introduces a new framework that he describes as the antidote to The Drama Triangle. This antidote, "The Empowerment Dynamic," is used to help you intentionally shift your mindset and behavioral approach in order to optimize your performance and achieve positive results in your interaction with others. When you make a shift toward The Empowerment Dynamic, you can achieve greater sense of awareness and you will find that additional choices become available. The book will encourage you to become a Creator when you may feel like a Victim, to become a Challenger when you may be tempted to behave like a Persecutor, and to become a Coach when your natural tendency may be to act as a Rescuer.
It is important to understand that these "mindsets" or "modes" in the Drama Triangle happen to all of us, all the time. They are not fixed personality traits. The benefit of the book is that it helps you to make a choice to leave The Drama Triangle and move toward The Empowerment Dynamic. Here are some ways to begin to make that shift:
- To shift from Victim to Creator – Move from reacting to choosing and ask yourself, "What is it I really want?"
- To shift from Persecutor to Challenger – Move from tearing down to building up and ask yourself, "What new skills is this situation calling for?"
- To shift from Rescuer to Coach – Move from telling to asking and ask yourself, "What can I do to support them in their own learning?"
If you find yourself surrounded by "drama" in your home life, your work life, or in any relationship you're a part of, The Power of TED* is for you. If you would like to purchase your very own copy of "The Power of Ted," please stop by any of our new Spend Life Wisely lobbies at First United Bank or you can also visit the TED Shop online for books, workbooks, MP3s, etc.

When my friend, Sarah, was in town about a month ago, I told her about my love for made-for-TV holiday movies. Think Lifetime, ABC Family, and the Hallmark channel. I got her sucked in one morning watching A Christmas Wish with Kristy Swanson. It was a tearjerker. Sarah was a goner. I've brought her over to the dark side. I now text her whenever I find another good holiday movie. So, I wanted to share the wealth with you all as well.
These movies are perfect during the holidays when you are home and need some background noise basically. Have these movies on when you're baking, decorating the tree, wrapping presents, doing laundry, etc.
I posted last year my "rules" for picking these holidays movies. So, far these movies are my favorite ones I've watched this holiday season…
1. Hitched for the Holidays
This movie with Joey Lawrence was by far my favorite TV Christmas movie! I'm almost embarrassed to say how much I liked it!! I immediately text Sarah to tell her how good it was. Yeah, Sarah was at a Ray Lamontagne concert at the time. Julie = nerd, Sarah = awesome
2. 12 Dates of Christmas
Amy Smart & Mark-Paul Gosselaar?? Duh, that's a no-brainer that it will be good. 🙂
4. Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade
5. Holiday High School Reunion
Take these movies for what they are. Cheesy, mindless fun…the plots are predictable, but doesn't everyone want to see a happy ending in December?!

What You Need to Know About Buying Farmland in The Good Old U.S.A.
Are you amongst the misinformed? Did you think farmland lost its value? Think again, it is the most solid investment you can make, and it has surpassed stocks for over ten years, according to the USDA.
It is expected to continue, and the only people that seem to recognize its true worth are the investors from china. In USA Today an article from 2012 stated 51 percent of all farmland sales were by foreign investors. Britain and China have invested about 440 billion dollars and Japan a mere 300 billion.
As food costs continue to rise so will the costs of farmland. The rich soil of America will so belong to other countries, and only a handful of hardworking citizens will continue our heritage. Investors also bring jobs, so it is not too discouraging. The point is if you want good farmland now is the time to buy it. Don't wait until you have to pay British prices for American farmland.
The average farm has a total return on investment of about 15 percent. The average cost of these golden fields has nearly doubled over the last few years, and soon it will be far outside the reach of the average person if there is any left to buy at all.
Nothing is easy nor should it be. Buying and running a farm is hard work that demands special equipment and uncertain risks. Farm equipment doesn't come cheap, and frequent maintenance is mandatory. Weather risks such as tornadoes, droughts and floods are all factors to consider, so having a thick safety margin is key to keeping your hair on you head. Another expense is the labor force, will you have to hire people to work the land and if so what are your liabilities?
The high sale prices of particular crops such as corn have gained the attention of worldwide investors. They offer so much money that farmers are selling land held by their families for generations. Our farming history is nearly obliterated and with it. our one great safety factor. Americas source of self-sustenance.
The average cost of the finest farmland is over 5000.00 per acre and increasing daily. The demand is greater, and the cash flow follows. There isn't a great deal of farmland remaining that is reasonably priced, but when you find it, grab it.
There is a 44-acre farm available in Maine right now. Pictured on the left you can see the beauty for yourself. However, the real beauty is when it's your family's home you're looking at. When it is your farm you are working and the fruits of your labor on your dinner table.
Perhaps one of the sweetest moments in life is driving up to a property like this and saying "we are home kids' and as of this moment that can be your reality.
The property is still available with all mineral rights intact at less than 2000.00 an acre. All it takes to discover more is a single phone call or a click to our website.

The hit Broadway show Thoroughly Modern Millie performed by an all youth cast. The winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie was the 2002 season's most awarded new show on Broadway! Based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film, Thoroughly Modern Millie takes you back to the height of the Jazz Age in New York City, when "moderns," including a flapper named Millie Dillmount, were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and rewriting the rules of love. This high-spirited musical romp is a delightful valentine to the long-standing spirit of New York City and the people who seek to discover themselves there.
Set in New York City in 1922, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of young Millie Dillmount from Kansas, who comes to New York in search of a new life for herself. Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man and then marry him. However, her plan goes completely awry. The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls to sell to the Far East, her wealthy boss is slow in proposing marriage and the man she actually falls in love with doesn't have a dime to his name… or so he tells her.

If you're anything like me, you're probably going to either end up with ten mountains of paperwork, or you're going to quit writing. I've done both. Luckily, I didn't truly quit for long, and you shouldn't either.
A couple of years ago, I decided to stop circle-jogging and set some career goals. Since I did not set deadlines, I am still working on getting my act together. That's why you don't want to do what I did. Instead, do what I am telling you is better to do. Otherwise, you'll get some paper mountains made of the below:
- Project Planning - Some projects planned to the end but never started; some projects never planned at all beyond a title; and some projects finished, but done so poorly because they were never planned they are now trash.
- Project Deadlines - In notes and journals, and on walls and lamps. Most of these are never met because they're lost in the mess.
- Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Goals - I took the trash out! Most of the Goals were in it.
- Note boards - I'm outnumbered by these monstrosities.
- Notebooks - A billion. All full. All crap. Some of them might be in another language. Some of them look like a serial killer wrote them. It's okay if I'm crazy, I promise. But it's not okay how many trees I've murdered.
- Sticky notes - I LOVE THESE GUYS!!! But when you have a thousand of them on the wall, you can't read even one.
- Sketches of Characters and Settings - This is cool...until you change your story idea and a picture that took 12 amazing hours to draw...is no longer applicable. Yet you still hang on to the picture because it might inspire some other story.
- Horrible Sketches of even more Horrible Ideas - Lots and Lots of These.
- Research Folders filled with Nothing - I always plan to organize and give up the moment I finish labeling the stupid notebooks. Too many. Too much. Why?!
- Research Folders filled with Scraps of Everything - I love scraps. I also hate scraps.
- Research Folders filled with Too Much of Something - Every day of my life is now worthless.
- Dishes - Because why not?
It's hard to get through it all. I have over 10,000 pages of books I have completed, and rewritten. Some of them I started anew after realizing how bad they were. All of those 10,000 pages are in one single series. That single half-done series covered just four badly written, unplanned, horrible books. My shelves are bowing. My devices are full. And I have made ZERO real progress. Just more mountains.
I would keep going, but not only do you likely now get the point, you are probably laughing at me enough to lose track of where I'm going with this post. Where was I? Ah. What to do??? WHAT TO DO???!!! A fire could have the power to free me, right? But oh, the horror. As I said before, if you're like me, you're probably going to either end up dead or...Wait. I didn't say that.
This is how you fix this determined circle of madness:
For the love of God, your Soul, and your Sanity. Please, I beg of you, STOP.
You need to make a decision right here in order to save yourself the agony of giving up what you love when you have an emotional breakdown someday in the future. Answer a couple of questions. Get your North figured out.
Do you want to become a better writer? If yes, keep reading. If no, stop reading. Forever. Do you want to develop your already amazing talent into a money-paying hobby someday, or even a full-time career? If yes, keep reading. If not, nothing I say will be of any use to you whatsoever. You can go make your Paper Mountains of Dead Trees and then change your mind when it's too late. (Like me!)
IF you want to get published by a traditional publisher or become self-published, you are going to need to start with being realistic. Tell yourself you're not likely to hit it big with just your first book, not unless you learn everything necessary to the industry, marketing, networking, platforming, editing (quiz: what's a galley edit?), or the inside-out, know-hows of writing commercially publishable bestsellers' material.
Now. When you knock yourself down to the bottom step and you realize there is a lot you are going to need to learn, you might feel a little lost like I did. Lucky for you, that's what this post is for. I'm giving you something no one else gave me. An idea of where to frickin' start. Once you know where to start, with everything laid out in front of you like college course material in the instructor's syllabus, you can begin to inch forward.
You create your career plan before you screw it up and get lost or quit. Meanwhile, you continue to practice writing between research sessions in order to hone your skillset.
Every goal that is met in your career plan serves as another victory under your belt. And guess what? If you do it right, you won't have to go back to the beginning like I did.
My intent is to become a full-time author. Is yours? I have had to put some of my writing to the side and only dabble as my soul demands in order to feed my inner beastie. This has allowed me to get some perspective, do some research, and then get some real perspective.
Here is my horribly misshapen list of everything you need to look into before beginning your career / paying hobby. If I find new stuff to look up along the way, I will add them. If you think of a few, share them in the comments.
Turn this into a checklist, print it out, put it in with your Career Goals syllabus, and research the hell out of each topic. Figure out what is best for you personally, and then adapt it. Take detailed notes as you learn, and share what you learn as you go--it helps you understand what you are learning better. And most importantly, always work toward completing the next step.
This is the order of business:
- Research apps that help writers.
- Research habits of successful, bestselling writers.
- Research pitches, synopsis, plot structure, etc.
- Research productivity tips for writers. There are ways to reach 10,000 words a day, guys. Familiarizing yourself with recording devices is one of them. It is awkward at first, just like learning to type is, so I suggest using them for writing prompts first, to practice.
- Research how to write commercial fiction: plot structure, character arcs, and other components of stories.
- Research Trello and editorial calendars. You may use other systems, but Trello is the best in my opinion. Editorial Calendars will give you deadlines and push you to achieve more by certain dates. Trello is great for that, as I said. I'll repeat myself later.
- Write a business plan. Where do you (as a writer) want to be in five years? Ten Years? How many books do you want to have published 2 years from now? How many books do you want to have published by the end of next year?
- Research the editing process.
- Research the marketing process
- Research platform development - and get started NOW!!! Even if you take baby steps. Having a single user ID across many social media platforms helps your searchability. Mine is always 7bloodfire -- whether I am on Twitter, Facebook, Wattpad, or even Tumblr. I even own the 7bloodfire.com domain name for 10$ a year through blogger.com)
- Research how to create your own brand. Think series books, or a specific type of fiction or memoir you are good at. That's what your brand will be from, and you need to figure out what it is and how to develop it.
- Research how to make money from writing novels, how to set improve sales and traffic, etc.
- Research what all goes into a self-published book: cover pages, ISBNs, marketing, costs for print, promotions, gift ideas as promotions, contest ideas as promotions, etc.
- Research how to promote your book: conferences, tours, press releases, starting book clubs, etc.
- Research Web Site Development and HTML.
- Plan the focus and layout of your site, blog.
- Create your site, blog.
- Research networking and creating business partnerships. Implement as it comes up.
- Start, join, or hire: Review Groups / Beta Readers / Book Clubs.
- Attend Seminars / Conferences / Webinars / PodCasts, etc.
- Research setting up Seminars / Conferences / Webinars / Podcasts
- Set Up your own Appearances at Seminars / Conferences / Webinars / Podcasts later, when you are famous, too. If this is a goal, it stays on the list. Get used to the idea that writing is a business. And businesses have training seminars and meetings.
- Research and Develop Email Lists, Customer / Fan Bases, etc.
- Research and then get paypal or other online banking methods of getting paid for ebooks and physical books
- Research and keep up with Industry News.
- Research genre types and how to write in them. Same with looking up published books' lengths. This gives you idea on what is expected across the board.
- Create a Career Journal and add to it: Projects, Goals, Syllabus, Scheduling, Tours, Travel, etc.
- Improve your writing productivity one project at a time. It's probably best to start with dictation practice--use a recorder and speak the story. Then transcribe it later.)
- Incorporate all research into one place for easy reference
- Put the editorial calendar to use
- Practice and incorporate anything new that works - dictation and transcribing? Yeah!
- Research copyright laws, like Fair Use, Plagiarism, etc.
- Research using social media for business use, like marketing campaigns, posting times and frequency, etc.
- Research blog post types, like Round Up posts and other types.
- Implement Deadlines, break down your project into stages, and strive to meet those deadlines.
I am almost halfway through my list. And I HIGHLY recommend Trello for the Editorial Calendar. If I didn't say that before. I told you I would say it again. Here's a link to Trello, if you want to get started: Trello.com. I will be covering the many uses of Trello as I continue my 'setting up for success' articles.
So, as you can see, if you're like me and got the ball rolling before you knew where it was going to have to go in order to get commercial, you'll have to put the writing addiction on the back burner in order to get your alphabet straight. You have to research what to research. Having a good list to start with HELPS.
As for improving your skill at the craft? I always recommend Donald Maas's Writing 21st Century Fiction. It's...AMAZING.
By the way, traditional publishers want you to already have a huge platform with a couple of thousand fans anyway. You'll be marketing your own material even if they sign you on, and after 6 months, whether your book sells or not, you become competition to the very company that signed you on. (Better look up publishing contracts while you're researching! There is a saving grace called a backlist.)

Can social Singnals Improve SEO ?
According to Google's Matt Cutts, social signals do not influence rankings as of yet. He first stated this in response to the many claims that Google +1s could influence rankings.
In case you missed it, I dug deeper into the anatomy of Google Plus and showed how you could get do-follow links from it. The very fact that you can get do-follow links as a result of someone giving your website a +1 seems to discredit the claim that G+ has no influence on rankings and I am not the only one who seems to think this.
QuickSprout Says Social Matters
According to a study conducted by Quicksprout, there is a noticeable difference in the position of a keyword when social signals are given. Here are their findings.
As you can see, two different sites showed an increase in rankings that correlated with Google Plus activity and another two sites were positively influenced by Facebook and Twitter signals. You can read the full study on SearchMetrics and you can view an infographic of the data on Quicksprout's Blog.
Stone Temple Says No On Google +1s
Many people argue that correlation is not causation which is what a study by Stone Temple Consulting attempted to demonstrate.
Image property of Stone Temple
The results of their study only led to more heated debates by industry professionals, but they do determine that at a minimum, Google +1s drive discovery and that they most likely lead to faster indexing. The study also notes visits by GoogleBot to the shared page shortly after the +1 occurred. Stone Temple goes on to note that repeat visits are made to the same page from subsequent shares.
Stone Temple Says No to Facebook Too
A few months after the study on the impact of Google +1s was completed, Stone Temple decided to test the impact of Facebook likes and shares. This study was set up like the G+ study in that it attempts to show causation instead of correlation and here is what they decided.
• Google is not likely to count likes as a ranking factor because they cannot distinguish the source of the like to establish credibility.
• Getting shares on Facebook is also not likely to directly impact your rankings as a high percentage of even authority Facebook posts are not indexed by Google.
So What Can We Deduct from the Studies?
Since both Quicksprout and Stone Temple are very reliable sources for information, it is safe to assume that they each had the results they disclosed. As pointed out by Stone Temple, correlation is not causation. This means we can assume that social signals do not always directly impact rankings and when we combine that with the information from Quicksprout we are left with the following possibilities.
1. The impact of social shares on keyword rankings is dependent upon the niche and competitiveness of a keyword. This could explain why Stone Temple did not see a result and QuickSprout Did.
2. Great content is more likely to be shared and as such, natural links will occur and result in increased rankings. In the Stone Temple Study, no inbound links were indexed for the test pages, in the QuickSprout study, it is not disclosed whether natural links occurred as a result of the shares so we can assume the shares led to links and that is the cause.
Here is My Thought
When social shares occur in conjunction with inbound links, they validate one another and have a greater impact on rankings. We know that Google can determine an unnatural influx in back links to a site; so why are all sites not penalized for inbound link spikes?
We also know that a variation in the typical links occurring to a page can be a warning sign and for this reason, a brand new site getting 500 links in a single day is a red flag whereas an established site can get that many without issue.
If you consider a piece of viral content, you could literally have hundreds or thousands of links built to a page in a very short time and these links can be international, from un-related or semi-related sites, and they can come from sites with no PR or authority.
If you have a new site or one with a history of generating few back links and you attempted to build links to that site rapidly, you would likely get penalized. If that piece of viral content mentioned above happened to be on your new site and it lead to a massive influx of links, you are more likely to improve your rankings than to get in trouble.
Why is this?
The difference in the two is social signals and citations. By citations I am talking about un-linked mentions of a brand or website on other sites.
If you were to create an SEO campaign that mimicked viral marketing, you would need to
• Create massive social signals across Twitter and Google+
• Generate a measurable increase in the amount of citations to a brand or site
• Rapidly increase the number of inbound links with variables based on the link profile of a relevant authority site

One to three weeks working holidays now offered ALL YEAR ROUND.
5 hours working on the ranch each day: mucking out, cleaning tack, exercising horses, helping with children's lessons etc. We provide food and accommodation. Two hours each day of riding lessons, trekking out, schooling horses and stable management.
Buy Diazepam Canada
What do you pay?
220 euros for 1 wk pp (includes two day's off each week, meals provided)
378 euros for 2 wk pp (includes two day's off each week, meals provided)
510 euros for 3 wk pp (includes two day's off each week, meals provided)
Airport transfer not included (see opposite prices). A bus schedule can be provided.
Basic casita or caravan accommodation (normally sharing twin bedroom accommodation with another, although private bedroom can be arranged when available) with shared cooking and bathroom facilities.
With our Working Holidays you are paying a set fee. For example, one week Working Holiday = 210 euros, and this guarantees you a minimum of one and half hours riding and tuition each day.
Your accommodation and food are provided in an exchange for your work each day: so you are basically volunteer working in exchange for your food and lodge. If you prefer to choose accommodation near the Ranch and come up each day for your riding and tuition, you would not have to part take in the volunteer work. Obviously you would then pay for the accommodation you have chosen. We can help you choose accommodation near the Ranch.
wwoofer in spain, andalucia If you choose to stay on the Ranch, the accommodation is VERY BASIC, but comfortable. This is not the same accommodation as we use for our treks and trail rides. You will be staying in a small casita (like a little dormitory with two single beds) with a kitchen next door, or in a caravan.
The kitchen is shared with some of our farm help too. There is no hot water in the kitchen: we boil the water to wash up. We have an outside compost toilet, and a hot shower in a separate building, which is used by all on the Ranch (normally
there are a minimum of 6 other people staying).
We provide the food for breakfasts and lunches, which we ask you to prepare for yourselves. Everyone takes turns to make evening meals: we supply you with the basic ingredients, and a mostly vegetarian diet.
The weather can be warm, so you will need sunscreen and -tshirts.
It can however, change very rapidly in the high altitudes: we are over 1000 meters above sea level in the Sierra Nevada, and we ride up to higher altitudes (2400 meters) so also bring lots of warmer clothes such as fleeces and waterproofs.
We have solar lights in the bedroom and kitchen and candles in the caravans, but recommend you bring a torch for trips to the loo in the dark!
We normally breakfast before 8am, and start work just after.

Obamination: State of the Union: Illegal Immigration?
In this installment on the STOTU we turn to Immigration issues. [Click this link for the Prepared Remarks.]
Didn't we say NO already Didn't we repeat it loudly and clearly? And when they tried to ram the "DREAM Act" down our throats we shouted our refusal to accept it. Obamination will not accept a negative answer any more than Shrub did.
Obamination won't even complete the fence, which drug lords are using a catapault to overcome. Mexicans are not the only wet backs. Numerous Muslim terrorists are mingling with them but Obamination does not give a damn. He has his Secret Service to protect himself, the rest of us don't matter to him.
Illegal immigrants are more likely to organize gangs of street thugs and found Meth labs than to engage in scientific research or found legitimate enterprises. Masses of illegal immigrants are threatening the financial viability of our schools and hospitals.
We need to say it again, to repeat it with higher volume and increased profanity. We must make the newly elected and installed majority in the House of Representatives fully aware of our absolute, principled and permanent objection to alien amnesty schemes. Send this link to your Congressman:
You can easily send an email to your Representative through the handy form provided by http://www.congress.org. To create the link, copy and paste this html code exactly as it appears here: Loud & Clear.

It was One World Presentation Management Ltd. who led the association community towards this level of presentation management in the 1990's, and, we continue to improve the experience for presenters and attednees alike. Conference faculty demand a bullet-proof system that works with their busy schedules, and will prevent distractions from complicated screens or procedures.
One World staff possess a keen understanding of the mindset of the presenter, and can assess situations with great speed and accuracy, so precious time is directed towards achieving results, not experimenting or trying to fix things. A successful meeting needs people who know what to do and can get it done immediately so that presenters can achieve their goals at the podium.
It was One World Presentation Management Ltd. who designed many of the IT Solutions that first guided medical meetings into the computer era. Staffed by consultants and technology experts, One World brings over 30 years of meeting experience and technology development to today's conference community.
We are software developers and service providers who work side by side with every-day users from one end of the abstract/presentation processes to the other. No other company works with program committees, directors and submitters from the inception of a meeting, and then also guides and assists organizers, audio visual, and presenters at the actual meeting.
Long-time industry expert, Mark Rosenthal has taken his 30 years experience in the conference/presentation industry and applied imagination and technology to develop solutions to the medical association and conference community. Mark is the leading technology designer of the One World family of software products.
Since 1984 Mark has personally sat down at a computer with tens of thousands of conference presenters. As an IT professional Mark has designed network configurations and software strategies in eighteen countries from Windows 95 to present. As a software developer he has met the challenge of global clients, transcending complications of culture-based user customs and expectations.
With a successful background in international business ventures, Shannon specializes as a communications consultant, with a focus on international conferences. Fluent in English and Japanese, and conversational in several other languages, Shannon's communication skills are the perfect requisite for designing and organizing online forms and database management systems that intuitively meet the challenges of our users from around the world.

Salomon: the Pragmatic Realo (Satis Shroff)
Freiburg is a provincial town in the Black Forest and lies in the vicinity of France and Switzerland. We locals call
this three country triangle 'the Regio,' which is rich in culture and
tradition, and there's a lot of cooperation between the three countries. We
have exchange of students school-kids and university students between France
and Germany and the younger generation of Germans find it cool to speak French
and do the Abitur (equivalent to GCSE 'A' level) as well as the French
Baccalaureate and possible end their studies in Paris. The German-French School
in Freiburg makes it possible. Since we are EU countries, learning Spanish,
Italian and Latin declinations at school are tres chic.
The last war in Germany is long over, the one in Afghanistan is merely a conflict as we are advised to say, and a modern
city has arisen from the ashes of the ruins with the help of the Trummerfrauen,
those dear old ladies who helped to clear the debris left by the Lancaster and
other block-busting bombers of the Allies. Despite the modernity, Freiburg has
retained its water canals, 'bächle,' which run through the middle of the town,
ad its cobbled streets. There's an old saying that itf a visitor should fall
into the 'Bächle' then he is destined to be wedded to a maiden from Freiburg.
The Bertold's Brünnen which is a modern fountain sculpture and bears only a
small resemblance to Bertold V, the Duke of Zähringen. The town of Freiburg im
Breisgau was founded in 1091 and it was in 1120 that it received the right to
have a market. This act was carried out by Konrad von Zähringen.
Although the Freiburger like to call this town the 'Black Forest metropolis' it remains one of the warmest provincial
university towns in Germany. Ihringen,
a small wine-growing town, is the warmest. The Sport Club Freiburg team which
also plays soccer in the Bundesliga, is fondly dubbed as the 'Breisgau
Brazilianer,' known for the fresh, attractive style with as minimum of cost for
the management. But that was a long time back and at the moment it's fighting
for its existence in the first league. It can't compete with Strassbourg or
Basle not to speak of Grasshopper Zürich but it's nevertheless in the German
football news.
Freiburg was, till recently, in election fever. Three candidates dominated this Schwarzwald town landscape. But as far
the easy-going, civil servants-type of Freiburger were concerned it was a storm
in a tea-cup. Freiburg, it might be noted, is a Black Forest Green City, and
when the results were announced Dieter Salomon 49, and his pretty blonde wife
Helen Hall-Salomon, were delighted. A Green mayor in a Green City of over
200,000 inhabitants. The best supporters were from the rural suburbs, which are
actually CDU territories. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) didn't have an
appropriate candidate and so they opted for Salomon, who with his tailored
suit, blue striped tie, white shirt, rimless glasses and pomade in his hair
looks like a well-styled Christian Democrat candidate. This political realo has
the necessary political acumen to make it big in Brussels as a representative
of the green party but he chose to be the Oberbürgermeister of a provincial
town, so to say, the head mayor because he feels like a captain on the bridge
of his ship.
I know Dieter Salomon personally because we lived in the same hostel during our student days: Thomas Morus Burse at the
Kapplerstrassse 57. Wonderful memories of student days. We talked about it in
Kappel together after the farewell ceremony of Herr Gross, the local mayor of
Kappel, was over. Mrs. Hug and Professor Hug, a well-known historian were also
there. I chanced to chat with a CDU official about the elections and he was of
the opinion that 'Dieter Salomon has to watch out for the voters in the west of
Freiburg.' That's where the poorer section of the town live, like
Haslach-Weingarten for instance. Freiburg East, where Kappel lies, is
conservative and has more Christian Democrat voters.
Be that as it may, Dieter Salomon attained 50,5 per sent and has been granted another eight years as a green
head-mayor. Ulrich von Kirchbach (SPD) managed to get 29,2 per cent and Günter
Rausch who was supported by the left-oriented initiative followed up with 20,1
per cent. Rausch, who is a professor at the EFH Freiburg, a dual system
university, was very satisfied with the election results. His wife Stefanie
Rausch was euphoric and found it 'sensational toll.' Her husband styled himself
as the Last Mohican, I mean the Last Green, meaning thereby that Dieter Salomon
was more conservative rather than a green, and the CDU party even backed him.
If he ever crossed the floor, the CDU would greet him as one of their own. On
the other hand, Ulrich von Kirchbach, who actually didn't stand a chance at all
against Salomon, tried his best to get past the green candidate but the latter
remained adamant with better arguments. Salomon had the better ecological
Salomon's serious countenance changed to that of a moderate smiling one when he was re-elected. Only 45,2 per cent of
Freiburg's population turned up at the elections. The rest were busy in their
gardens after the long, harsh winter or went to cheer the local soccer team: SC
Freiburg versus Wolfsburg. We won 1:0. Salomon said at the Rathaus, which is
the town council and not a rat-infested house: Mehrheit ist Mehrheit. Majority
is majority. Dieter the olde Burseaner is right.
Meanwhile, this Schwarzwald town has returned to its leisurely lifestyle as can be seen in its many Gästehäuser,
cafes, restaurants, the Bermuda Triangle near the university café and
wine-stuben. At the Freiburger Münsterplatz you can have your German sausages,
in the cute taverns and inns your good bürgerliches meal with spätzle, cordon
bleau or steak and lots of salad and a golden glass of German beer or local
wine, if you prefer, from loess-laden Kaiserstuhl or the Markgräferland. Ah, ist es nicht ein schönes Leben? Dolche vita in

Control Mobile Data Securely on Cellular and Wi-Fi
Network and Device Security
Shield your business from mobile threats
Stop malware at the network layer before it gets to your device. Defeat mobile security attacks on cellular and Wi-Fi before they happen. Unique and proactive functionality makes mobile data secure. Using a combination of SIM-based policy settings and network analysis, we provide a three-tier defense:
- Threat Prevention
- Compliance
- Device Security
Threat Prevention
Block malicious content at source
Compromised websites and malicious content are actively blocked. We use machine learning to counter threats by continuously analyzing 500 million end-user behaviors and 100s of millions of websites per day. One billion websites are presented in a manageable 26 categories, or 150 for organizations that want more granular detail.
Make sure staff comply with the rules on their mobile devices
Enforce rules that comply with your own company policies. Adhere to regulations like MIFID, GDPR and Sarbanes Oxley. Simplify compliance by building it into everyday activity in a single dashboard that surfaces all mobile activity across the organization.
Device Security
Data Loss Prevention
Prevent possible data breaches ensuring data is always secure, even when a device is lost or stolen. Deploy essential MDM features like password protection, remote locate, lock and wipe.
Actionable Insights for Mobile Data
Asavie Moda's reporting and incident management delivers intelligent analysis of data to enable fast, effective operational decision making. Businesses can monitor activity and prioritize actions to optimize mobile use and fix security threats.
Insights from the network
Every business can personalize their data experience
Because Asavie works at the network layer, business can define what rules can help minimize security risks, improve productivity and give them the greatest control. Armed with this insight allow or deny access to 26 categories covering 1 billion websites. With 50% of all mobile data traffic is on video, why not block access to streaming services when data usage limits are approached (restricting users to mission-critical tasks)?
Protecting Tablets with Asavie Moda & UEM
Leading UK Mobile Network Operator, O2, provided a tailored tablet lending solution to Leeds Libraries. iPads are enrolled through Apple DEP; Apps, APN, PIN protect and new wallpaper are pushed through IBM MaaS360; and all data management controls are provided by Asavie Moda. Read the case study
Manage all mobile data
Regulate expensive mobile data
Transform the way you control costs and usage of mobile devices and data. By having visibility into what your devices are being used for, your can block time-wasting websites and restrict improper use. Avoid bill shock by limiting access to business only applications and websites.
Our customers save on average $210 per user every month.
Valuable insights into mobile usage
With knowledge of how staff are using mobile devices, you can choose the right policies and plans for your business. Asavie has many powerful ways to filter, navigate and export reports.
- Which content has been blocked?
- Which categories are used most regularly?
- What websites are being used most?
- Where in the world is your data being used?
- How does mobile data usage change between business and outside of business hours?
A personalized mobility experience
Apply policies on both cellular and Wi-Fi to manage what each employee can and can't do in order to drive productivity.
- Set data limits
- Throttle speeds
- Limit access to websites and apps
- Manage data quotas before the line and after the line
- Vary policies by time of day
Access business apps from anywhere
One insurance provider found they were closing fewer sales, despite their 75-strong sales team having access to the right tools, Asavie Moda reports uncovered that a third of staff were spending large amounts of time using their work smartphones for personal use.
Armed with this insight, the company restricted categories of websites including Entertainment, Lifestyle, Sports and Streaming video. Within 6 months they experienced a 20% increase in the number of weekly client meetings.
Support employee productivity
Focus on the job at hand
Make sure staff don't waste their time by applying policies on what each employee can and can't do online. Create rules to control to all work-related content and limit access to non work-related content. For example, you can limit Facebook and allow LinkedIn.
