Not impressed
"Well for me these didn't work...and within about 10min. I have flat feet & mild bunions and I think arthritis in the ball of my foot. I walked around the house with these and jogged in place a bit and within minutes the bone over my arch (1st metatarsal I think) felt strained. I felt also like at lease in one foot it was overcorrecting my step so I felt like i was walking on the outside of my foot. I think i like the Sauconys that are not for flat feet and just use an insert!"

Nothing better

CLINTON, MASS. -- Nypro Inc. President and CEO Ted Lapres said Nypro needs to get bigger -- through the sale to Jabil Circuit Inc. -- to keep up with consolidation in its global markets.
The plastics packaging industry has undergone consolidation for years, with a regular series of blockbuster roll-ups, often fueled by private equity money.
Nypro's largest market is health care, and consolidation also has come to the medical-disposables sector.
Jeff Mengel of Plante & Moran PLLC said medical disposables — products designed to be used once for tests or drug delivery — have similarities to packaging. The high-volume medical-disposables business is part of the consolidation trend, he said, "and global is a big component for it."
Here is a look at some major medical consolidation deals:

In Which I Am Brutally Honest
First, I'm physically incapable of being condescending as I literally look up to pretty much anyone over the age of twelve. (Speaking of short jokes, yesterday my daughter said, "Tomorrow's short day at school!" My husband raised his eyebrows at me and said, "Are you the guest of honor?")
Second, I'm guessing what happened was this. Dear Anon, never having read my blog before, popped over following a link. Anon saw the following: Young idiot debut novelist who is a NYT bestseller telling other writers to quit asking to cut in line because she'd already put in her time and now it was their turn. Dear Anon, who is probably writing and querying and dealing with those frustrations (which are infinite), most likely thought, "What do you know about the line?"
Friend, I know plenty. I didn't just fall into getting published. It wasn't all some big, happy accident story that makes aspiring authors want to rip out their hair. I got a degree in English with an emphasis in editing. I wrote a book. I queried that book for a year. I read hundreds of other books. I wrote another book. I queried fifty agents. I got one. That book went on sub and nobody wanted it. In the meantime I had written two other books. I picked one of those, I edited it, it went on sub, and everybody wanted it.
It was an incredibly happy ending years, and years, and years in the making.
So yes, I know something about lines. Please don't think "This is all easy for HER to talk about from where she is now." I have been where you are. I was there for a long time. I have not forgotten.
Of course it was never my intention to imply that aspiring writers need to quit whining and just wait. I was actually trying to point out why sometimes it takes a long time and sometimes it doesn't and that it never makes any sense. It was meant to be encouraging. Another commenter even pointed out that it was overly optimistic to say if you wait in the line you will get on the ride.
Brutal truth time? Yup. It was overly optimistic. The vast majority of people writing who hope to get published will never get there.
Too much honesty for a Wednesday? I think so. But there it is. Publishing is an industry. It responds to a fickle, ever-changing market. It's an industry that is currently in flux, with many publishers bleeding money because of outdated sales systems. It's an industry that is shifting and adapting daily to the changing business landscape. Books. Are. Products.
And not every product can or will find a place in the market.
You are not the gatekeeper. Nothing beyond your own writing is up to you. The industry does not care how many years you have spent dreaming of being an author. It does not care how many manuscripts you have worked on to get where you are today. It does not care how much time and energy and desperation you have logged pursuing that dream of seeing your words in print in a bookstore.
You can write your entire life and never get published.
You can write your entire life and never get published.
The odds are against you. It's sad and infuriating, but it's true. So here is my question: Are you writing to get published, or are you trying to get published because you love writing?
If you said yes to the first part, you are in for a world of pain and frustration. You've set your sights on something you literally cannot make happen on your own*. I'm not saying it'll never happen. If the entire point of your writing is to get published, you may very well succeed. But I'd imagine there is very little joy in that, because once you're published, what's left? Deciding you must be a bestseller? Deciding you must get a film deal? Where is the contentment? Where is the fulfillment in what you do?
However. If you are trying to get published because you love writing, never lose sight of the why. Don't get so focused on having a book that you lose the reasons you write those manuscripts in the first place. Writing is amazing. The best writers I know write because without writing they would be lost. They write because of the sheer giddy joy of creation. They write because they genuinely, unabashedly love telling stories. They stick it out through the frustrations of drafting and the agonies of edits because they are deeply committed to what they are doing. They move forward from rejection and failure because to quit writing is unfathomable, even if some days it feels like they would be far saner if they just gave up. They perfect their craft because it's important to them that what they are writing and expressing is written and expressed in the best possible way.
Yes, you should understand the industry. Yes, you should be smart about the elusive and mythical "market" to help your manuscripts and books have a shot at getting published. Yes, you should know how to get published and do your best to get there. Yes, it is okay to want to get published with a desperate, aching need that other people will probably never understand.
Just please, don't let the pursuit of publication (at any stage) kill your love of writing. Publication isn't up to you, but a love of writing you can keep and nurture and be nurtured by for your entire life, regardless of whatever else happens.
In the end, with a book deal, without a book deal, it's still just you and the words on the page. Do you see them as a means to an end, or an end in and of themselves?
*Excepting self-publishing. Please just assume all of my talk of "publishing" refers to traditional publishing, not because I have anything against self-publishing, merely because I know nothing about it.
And, yeah, way too much heavy for a Wednesday, what with all of the other things going on in the world that we can and should be feeling bad about:

Well said!!! I didn't catch the first post that brought on this comment but I love this. I'm still waiting in line and though it took me a year or so (still have days) I'm waiting more patiently. I want to wait! I want to get there with the right book, the right agent and the right timing. Ugh but what a hard lesson to learn!
Thank you for sharing your journey with so much honesty and humor!

Oh yikes, that was a mean comment. Frowny face and boo to anonymousers everywhere.
But just so you don't take it personally, I think sometimes people just get their panties in a twist because even if you're writing for the love of writing, which I think most people are (I imagine creative writing with the only goal of being published wouldn't last long), it gets old thinking, "Hey, I suck at this thing I love to do!" Which isn't especially true, but is a sometimes inevitable conclusion after receiving dozens of rejections. (And here I thought 43 ding letters from firms during law school was rough ...)
Back on a happier/funner note, whenever I get rill bummed out, I just conclude I can always self-publish and at least enjoy having a real copy of my stuff on my own shelf. And then I bust out my old copy of MOON PEOPLE (which, if you haven't read, you need to) and reconsider the wisdom of that idea ...
MOON PEOPLE makes everything better.

Very well said, although I was taken aback a bit by that anonymous comment. Condescending? I didn't sense that at all. But it probably was someone who was frustrated and ate the wrong cereal that morning.
But it is for the writing, isn't it? I'd rather write to the end of my life and never be published than be published once and stop. Being published is the plus side of my writing, not the verification.

Perfect for ASH WEDNESDAY, though.
Remember you are dust, but your words are electronic and will live longer than even you may want them to. (Let it be a reminder to would-be snipey anons.)
I am beginning to see, by looking at writers with whom I can identify, but who are ahead of my in the Disneyland line, that the difference between a good published writer and a good unpublished writer is pretty much time and tenacity.
Your story is illuminating and actually does contain advice: if you fail keep going and don't be afraid to keep failing until you hit that lottery number--an agent/editor who falls for your work.
Also, don't get too tied to any one project.
I sent out 70 queries to agents on my last book, but before I even hit send I had the next book outlined. As the rejections trickle in for the one that's out there, I barely feel a prick. I am too excited about this next one.
I plan to keep going on in this way until I get to the front of the line.
It may not be inevitable, but it's more likely this way than by pining and whining.

Thanks for this Kristen, I'm going to mention this on my blog today. Not just because you were so honest, and we writers need to hear the truth (even when we don't want to - which is what I think ANON's problem probably was), but because you also understand that a little bit of sugar helps the medicine go down (LOVE the Flight of the Conchords at the end!).

Wow so true. I've read so many posts that sugar coat things and whenever I read posts like these I actually know what I'm getting into as an aspiring writer. I spent years writing and editing and getting rejected and then writing and editing more and I'm not even 19 (I will be soon though!) I've grown really tough skin through my experiences, but I doubt it will protect me from some the trials and tribulations this business has, but I have time. Maybe it's different because I'm still very young, but I can wait until my time comes. In the words of every fluffy blog post "you may get thousands of noes, it only takes one yes" or something like that.

Nice post. I'm at the "Finally got an agent a year ago, still trying to get a contract" stage. Is it better than the no-agent stage? You betcha.

Quote of the day goes to Yoda (first post)!! haha.
But seriously, Kiersten, you are absolutely right, and have every reason TO be right, since you've been there, ARE there, and WILL BE there again and again.
I for one LOVE to write because I LOVE WRITING. It's who I am. Sure, I can't support my finances by writing my novels right now, but I CAN support my soul. And without that, I got nothing.
So here's to that soul, may it forever be filled with stories to tell. *Virtual glass clink* :)
On a side note, would it be meaningful for me to toss a review of Paranormalcy up on my blog? And/or perhaps Stephanie's book? Just wondering. :)

It seems that in this day and age people can no longer be anything but neutral. I've read many other personal blogs where bloggers have to post pictures of messy houses, messy clothes, screaming kids etc..because people accuse them of having perfect lives. It really bugs me when people have to be so critical and simply can't take things for what they are.
I thought your post was real, encouraging and came from someone who had FINALLY! got through the long line, took the ride and is now passing back the word that the ride is worth it and to stick with it even though sometimes it seems other writers have Fast Passes.
It is posts like yours that encourage me to work harder, gives me inspiration and encouragement and a needed daily dose of humor. Thanks!

I might have to quote that short joke. I hear an awful lot of them (hello, five feet), and that's one of the best. The rest of the post was great, too. I've found that I can't even write if I think too much about publishing. All the stress kills the creativity, and who wants that? I'm writing because I enjoy it, and if no one ever sees it, at least I know I will have accomplished something personally. Also, way to incorporate Flight of the Conchords. :)

Wow. I vote for many honest Wednesday posts in the future.
On a side note, when my son was in pre-school, he filled out one of those mother's day papers that was supposed to list my favorite meal, flower, activity, etc. He wrote my favorite store was "short people's store". After months of trying to figure out what this place might be, I learned it was the school uniform shop.
Oh yes, gotta love buying school uniforms. His teacher, a colleague, told me she had to laugh when my guy asked her to spell "short people's store" for him because, you guessed it, I'm short.

In praise of this post I was going to go with an analogy about gemstones — how each of your posts is like a gem and how all of the gems scramble to make it onto the Magicke Gold Tiara and how this gem of a post will probably sit in the centre in a band of Platinum — but then I beheld an all-singing all-dancing Disney lobster, flick-flacking from the CGI-waves and soaring high above all the other all-singing all-dancing Disney lobsters to somersault through a flaming hoop as drums rolled and fanfares blasted, and I would have commented something along the lines of and this post is such a high soaring all-singing all-dancing Disney lobster but by the time I got to the drums and the fanfare it had spiralled down from the far side of the hoop and landed on my head and now I can't remember what day it is.

I was hit over the head with a similar realization this morning, but you said it far more succinctly than I could. You are 100% right about the journey and the love of writing, and I'm trying desperately to bring myself back around to that feeling and away from this obsessive need to get published. Wise words for a Wednesday, I say.

Great post, Kirsten! I thought your Disneyland line analogy was pretty amazingly spot-on. Everyone has to wait, but you just never know who will get the shorter line or the longer one,and obsessing about it will only drive you nuts.
That said, while I agree that not everyone will get published, I think perseverance counts for A TON in this industry. The more we write, the more we grow as writers, the better our books get, and the more likely we're going to hit that perfect story at the perfect time.
Really, the only SURE way not to get published is to give up.

You've said it very well. So has Mr MacNish.
But an awful lot of writers can't hear this stuff. They need to believe the fantasy the way they see it on TV: nerdy kid writes book and becomes an overnight millionaire--forever superior to those little people who mocked him.
Last week Jim McCarthy said at least half of the queries he gets are for weak knock-offs of best sellers. That means half the people writing are writing to publish and not for the joy of it. If there's no joy--stop. Right now. Almost anything else will make you more money.

I thought the Disneyland analogy was sort of cute and very evocative.
It's a shame when commenters wish to lambast a blogger but hide behind an anonymous tag. If you want to be rude, own it.
That being said, I'd love to cut in line...but I'm pretty sure I'd get tased.

People are so brave when they're anonymous.
So comparing publishing to the lines at Disney somehow translates to "I'm awesome and you're not?" I must not be too quick on the uptake, because I don't see it.

firstly, it sounds like anon has a stick up his/her arse......
and secondly, I would have been in no way polite in my response to him/her...but for the purpose of your blog will keep it to a nice clean 'get knotted'
I'd just like to add that you seem to be a very NICE, CALM and RATIONAL, KIND and OPENLY FRIENDLY PERSON obviously everything that anon is not...
Its pure jealousy on their part, let them stew in their own juices. And you should continue to enjoy the successes that you so rightly deserve. ♥

I think what you are saying here gives us sound advice, as well as a reminder of why we write in the first place. Thank you for the gentle reminder.

The mark of any good post (philosophy, rant, or belief) is if said idea can be applied to other disciplines as well.
My day-job affords me the opportunity to build teams of very smart and dedicated people. Over the past 16 years of professional life, I've had the fortune of interviewing over a thousand very smart people coming from some of the best universities in the county.
I am disheartened when they come to the interview wanting to know how to get "there" faster. They are looking for the shortcut. They want to kiss up to the right people, say the one brilliant thing during a meeting, and have a chance encounter on the elevator.
This post is not too heavy for a Wednesday. It is important for people to know that the world does not function with shortcuts. And if it does once in a while, it's not sustainable. It is always about the hard work. Luck may come your way, but only the prepared can see the opportunity and do something about it (or not blow it).
Stephen King says that some things are like "playing darts in the dark. You may hit the mark, but you didn't deserve to."
I hope this message gets to everyone, in every role, in all capacity of professional goals and aspirations.
Kiersten, you're a rock star!

Great point. An aspiring author has no control over what the industry wants, and it's possible that a work will never be accepted by a traditional publisher. You briefly mention self publishing. It's no easy way out, because it is TON OF WORK - but, it is a way out. It is a means to publishing. If a person loves writing enough that they are going to write book after book, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to get their work published, then they can be published. That's the beauty of self publishing. It is possible.
Self publishing requires more work for the author - more marketing, more networking, more everything else, in order for it to become a feasible lifestyle.
So for any who read this post (which is excellent, by the way), just know that self publishing is possible. Just do a TON of research on the topic and be flexible and creative - the methods vary much more than you might think. If you're willing to put in the work, research, time, and patience, you can still publish.

Saw the comment. Yeah. You're being very kind, which is more than admirable. I hope Anon actually gets why you wrote up that post, and sees what you were trying to do, meaning HELP writers. Not belittle or discourage them. I understand being frustrated about the business and not getting anywhere, but I don't think taking your frustration out on people--especially those who were just trying to help--works. Then again, it might for others. It doesn't for me.
This isn't a business with shortcuts. There just aren't any. There's a waiting period for every step, and if you don't encounter it in one, you'll encounter it another. That doesn't change just because you want it to, so isn't it better to accept it and just keep working at your dream? It's all about patience, I believe, and with enough of it, I do believe anyone can get published. It just means you'll have to write a lot, a lot more than you probably ever dreamed of. But if you love it, it'll all be worth it in the end.
Anyway, great post. It's admirable you didn't lose it when I think it would've been well within your right to.

The "So You Want to Write a Novel" video that went viral a couple months ago seems appropriate here.
out of respect for Kiersten's site, I won't include the link - it's easily accessible on YouTube.

I think waiting in line at Disneyland is a perfect analogy.
We all know the ride will be fast, and fun, and over too quick (no matter how long it lasts.)
We all know the wait will be worth it in the end, or at least we'll say it was AFTER we're on the ride.
We all know that the ride can break down right before we get on, even after we waited an hour. That stinks! That ALWAYS feels completely unfair. It's the risk we take when we get in the line. Maybe this trip isn't our trip to ride that ride, but next trip will be, because you know we'll be back for more.
We all know that some people get a FastPass and zoom ahead of us. Maybe we'll be the one with the FastPass next trip.
To sum it up... your analogy rocks! Probably because you rock. You do.
Can I get a FastPass to meet your agent now? :o)
- March 9, 2011 at 11:29 AM
- Julie Geistfeld said...
Hey, one more thing... we can use the wait time to complain about the wait time or we can use it to get to know other people waiting, talk to the friends we're waiting with, eat an ice cream cone...
Shout, hey, how was the ride, to the people getting off.
Hey, how's the ride by the way? I enjoyed that goofy picture of you screaming on the big drop, funny stuff!

So really you should look at the waiting in line as it's own ride.
The last time I was at the amusement park waiting in line for the roller coaster, this group of kids in front of me starting singing 'Moving on up' and slapping a beat out with their hands. It was by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
The wait in line was a lot better than the actual ride. Maybe because I hate roller coasters?
I wouldn't hate getting published though. But that's not why I write. I write for that same feeling of amazement that I got watching those kids in line. Pure happy.

Anon comments are great! That means you're big time and saying something of importance. People don't go out of their way to remain anonymous and comment unless you've moved them.
I think it's the highest form of flattery in the blog world.

You forgot to mention that if you are part of the YA Mafia, they shut down Disneyland so you can go on the rides in peace.

I really enjoyed reading that post! I mean, it's blogs like yours that show us authors powering through edit after edit and still being able to bring out another book after a year because they love writing. Good for you!
I'm not exactly a writer, so it's not something I will ever worry about, but I'm happy to be informed.
By the way, no offence, but I totally laughed out loud to your husband's joke :D It was a good one! I'm 5'1" so I'm practically laughing at myself ;)
Oh, and awesome video! Even though I kinda lost it after the monkey disease, or monkey blood or whatever that was, it was crazy! Haha! Loved it!

So I've been ice skating for twenty years, and people ask me all the time if I'm going to the Olympics. Heck no. I skate because I love to do it. And just because you skate everyday doesn't mean it's a golden ticket for the Olympics. Same goes with writing. I skate/write everyday because I love it. It makes me happy. Some people get it. Some people don't. And I sometimes feel sorry for the people who don't. You know, the people who sorry for me because I'm not in the Olympics or published. They probably think I've wasted all that time for nothing. But, in actuality I feel sorry for them. Because they probably don't have something that makes them happy like writing and skating make me (other than family and friends, which always come first).
Sorry for the longish comment. Great post.

Darn. it. I was hoping for the Disney ending, not the Disney line :P
Great post! And har har to your husbands joke! And of course now I have this image of you in the Disney line, jumping up, down, sideways trying to when it is your turn....no....wait. I imagine you put your head down and...wrote! Loved your book (as do the teens I talk to) AND squeee on Supernaturally making it's way out in August.

I write because I love it. Publication is something to strive for, icing on the cake, but it's the process that I enjoy the most. If I never get published, that's ok! :)

- Dara said...
Thanks for this!
And also, this is the 21st century. People can self publish now if they want to "skip" the traditional line. Of course that doesn't mean you'll be successful--it's a crap shoot there too and there's TONS more work you have to put into it to be successful. But if people are desperate to see their book in print, that's an option.
I'm still going to give it my all to go the traditional route, even if it takes me until I'm 40 (that gives me another 14 years, LOL).
Again, thanks for the post!

As I was reading your post, I kept discovering you were taking words right out of my head and phrasing them even better.
If we are writers, we can't help writing, can we? It would be physically painful to stop. I think I would self-combust.
You do seem so witty, clever and successful that it appears you have the leprechaun's pot of gold.
Thank you so much for graciously responding to that anonymous comment. Great words.

Oof. As soon as you said "anonymous comment" I had to go check and see what it said because I DID link to that post on my blog, and I have a young writer friend who reads my blog on occasion, and has the occasional tenacity to be blunt and mean about things. Fortunately, the writing style does not match up. Phew!
However, what I wanted to comment on was your grace in reception. Rock on.
I came to the realization a while ago that I would keep writing even if I never got published. The back-up plan is to publish one copy of each manuscript under a penname and put it on my own bookshelf in hopes that my children will some day read it and say "this book is so cool, I want to meet this author!" *smirk*

Well, I have to say I'm glad for the negative comment (don't get mad at me just yet) because although I appreciated the "line" metaphor and what you were saying, and although I think that a lot of writers out there would benefit from what was said, I really, really liked the honesty of today's post. Just like in every business, there are a-holes that make it and angels that don't. (If you need an example of this, go watch American Idol.) As you pointed out, the important question is, why? Why are you writing? Who are you doing it for? And, even if you never get published, will you be proud of what you did? Because at the end of the day, it's you and a computer, or a piece of paper and a pen, and even the best efforts are a waste without the right motives. Which brings me to my last point: I appreciate the hell out of writers like you, Kiersten, because even if I never get published, I can be a part of the writing community through blogs like this one. Some people blog to hear themselves talk (or write, I guess, but you know what I mean). Some to help their career (which isn't bad necessarily, but in and of itself it's not a good enough reason). And some others blog because they care about their fellow writing friends. They take time away from writing books that make them money to give advice to writers that might never sell books that make them money, but the important thing is, maybe they will. For me, at least, I know that I would not and will not succeed without being humble enough to accept the advice of those that have gone before me in the line.

I've been reading your blog for a long time so I'm pretty sure you're guess is right: Anon has never read another one of your posts. Seriously, I can't imagine you being condescending--even if you were wearing 5-inch heals.
I think learning that this process takes time is hard, especially if you haven't been following the industry for a while. We all have this natural desire to see our books published, like, yesterday. It's important to know that's not the case, and I appreciate how honest you've been with these past posts. No, it's not fun to hear that you can't just sneeze out a manuscript and see it on shelves six months later but it's the truth. And we do this for the love of writing, not the money or awards or anything else.
Besides, if you want fast money, you're better of in Vegas.

One Week Class: Cultural Experience Holiday: The "Mystique" Mystery And Marvels Of Cuisine In Andalucia
What makes a particular dish "Spanish" and in particular, Andalucian? Why are most Spanish dishes prepared a particular way? Why does Spanish cuisine often taste better in Spain? How can I tell the difference between Italian and Spanish olive oil? How can I alone create many different tapas? What is REAL Paella and how can I prepare it at home? How did Paella develop in Spain… or DID IT?
These are a few of the mysteries that will be solved during your culinary vacation holiday at Casa Cebadillas. Learn some of the many secrets of traditional Andalucía cuisine. Create delectable and memorable dishes for your friends and family. Enjoy both "hands-on" cooking and class instruction and learn how to interpret and create recipes, handle cooking equipment, understand technical terms and produce delicious food. You will learn how to first see what is available and THEN develop a menu, as well as how to entertain at home confidently and efficiently using the freshest ingredients available.
You will learn how to prepare a host of versatile traditional dishes with confidence and gain a greater understanding of how to select and use basic ingredients, such as olive oil and spices, to make your Spanish meals successful. You will acquire skills that can be used at home to impress friends and family alike!
Casa Cebadillas uses the very best organic, local, seasonal produce and promotes food that has been grown in a way that is sustainable, environmentally sensitive and supportive of local businesses. The class instructors will actually walk through the village stopping inside locals homes to buy produce freshly harvested that day!
The geography, climate, and numerous cultural historic influences that encompass Spain's extensive history have led to a unique cuisine with literally thousands of recipes and flavors. While a significant portion of Spanish cuisine derives from hundreds of years of Jewish and Moorish tradition, Spain's Christian ethnicity has also been a primary influence and a source of differentiation from other Mediterranean cuisines.
Class Leaders Christopher and Arthur have lived in Torrox for many years and are the creators of Casa Cebadillas, the unique dining experience in Torrox Pueblo. Together they are eager to share with you some of the culinary discoveries they have made in this wonderful part of Andalucia. This holiday provides an in-depth adventure into Andalucian cuisine including field trips to the Olive Co-op, a visit to a local Cortijo, the opportunity for participants to purchase fresh produce from local vendors and prepare daily meals, a full wine tasting guided by Director of the Wine Education Institute and a market trip into the Alpujarras, and the finale is when the participants prepare a meal for six locals!
The one week cooking school Culinary Class in English program includes hands-on cooking sessions led by Christopher Carnrick as well as guided visits to markets, vineyards, shops, and local restaurants. All cooking programs take place in a manner to allow you free time to explore.
Each day's program offers something different; the prepared menus shared while taking in views of the white village of Torrox and the sea. In the background you can hear the goats and sheep herders in the distance and the smell of fresh roasting local chilies.
You will be given an insider's guide to the regional production of local olives and oil, cheese and wine as well as and tastings. Our Spanish Wine expert, Steve Ochman, Director of the Wine Education Institute in Sussex and author and contributor to several Spanish Wine magazines will show you how to select the best the region has to offer and how to locate these wines one you arrive back home. All instruction is in English. Recipes are geared for preparation at home once you return to showcase your new skills! Guests are supplied with supplies needed for the week.
For a few weeks each year Casa Cebadillas, the unique culinary experience in the historic village of Torrox Pueblo, Spain opens its kitchen and guest quarters for personalized culinary class to a small number of guests eager to share in the food, wine, and culture of one of Spain's most diverse and vibrant regions of Andalucia.
Guests cook with wild Mediterranean herbs gathered from the garden, venture down the streets into local household salons for fresh salad greens, fruits and vegetables from local markets, olives from the local groves, and prepare unique Mediterranean, Sephardic, and Moorish-Arabic dishes.
Included in your culinary vacation Spain cooking holiday is a field trip to a local cortijo to watch the preparation of a meal from a local family. Your culinary vacation in Spain offers this grand finale: The cooking school students plan and prepare a meal for a group of six locals!

Hello George,
Thanks for adding me! In response to your questions, I just moved to Lehigh Valley, PA from Cumberland County, NJ. In Cumberland County the unemployment rate is horrible. I was out of work for 6 months. I moved up here and found a job immediately. It probably depends on what exactly you're looking for. I took the first decent opportunity that came my way that fit my busy schedule. I am a manager for a small retail store and I attend college full time for Medical Coding and Billing. What exactly are you looking for? Are you looking to relocate? Good luck to you; we'll talk again soon.

One year ago, we finally replaced the original pair of sinks in the master bathroom of our recently acquired 20 year old home with Home Depot�s best selling Lamosa ceramic lavatory manufactured by Sanitarios Azteca from Mexico. With the new sinks, we replaced the original 1-1/4" traps with 1-1/2" fittings and have enjoyed much more efficient drainage of both sinks than what the original builder had installed. We did not alter any of the original plumbing after the traps.
We are now experiencing what appears to be �sewer gas� out of both of our new sinks. I have checked the traps, which both contain water, and are unobstructed. I have checked the vent and the drain lines for any obstacles that may be causing the symptoms. All appear to be fine.
We have lived in this house for three years, with the original fixtures, 1-1/4" traps and never experienced these odors before. Now with the new fixtures in place, we have to flush warm water with household bleach through both sinks and their respective overflows to eliminate the odors, which inevitably will return in a few weeks of what we believe is buildup inside the sink.
Has anyone compared the functionality of bathroom lavatories between different manufacturers such as Kohler, American Standard, and the Lamosa Sanitarios product offerings?
We have exhausted all measures, short of replacing the sinks with Kohler Products, which was our original first choice, but cost twice as much as the Lamosa fixtures. Have you experienced a situation such as ours? Help?!

United States of America 1935
An animal
oil and pelt on canvas
not signed, not dated
183.0 (h) x 153.0 (w) cm
Purchased 1980
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
© Jim Dine
After Jim Dine moved to New York in 1958 he became associated with a group of artists, including Allan Kaprow and Claes Oldenburg, who created performance art events or 'Happenings'. This established Dine as an artist who queried the categories of conventional media such as oil painting, implacably separated from bronze or marble sculpture. Nonetheless, An animal is one of a group of works begun by Dine in 1961 in which the legacy of recent art is still apparent in the free, painterly technique of its oil paint. But the paintings were combined with real objects fixed to the surface, with their identity written below.
In An animal, an old fur coat is spread out flat across the upper part of the canvas, while the lower part is covered with the lush, turbulent surface of an Abstract Expressionist style of oil painting. Across the bottom, Dine has inscribed 'an animal' in capital letters. Thus he lampoons the 'sensuous skin' of Abstract Expressionism. He also explores the relationship between linguistic symbol, painted surface, and real objects; 'It was an idea I had like a lot of my pictures then, that a painting should be an object'.[1]
The real fur in An animal came 'from a ratty old coat I got at a junk store that gave me the appearance of a Russian bum, mainly because my people come from Eastern Europe … Everything was grist for my mill and I've always believed in making a silk purse from a sow's ear.'[2] By removing the bearskin from its normal human uses—as clothing, as a rug—and naming it, Dine reasserts its original purpose, to cover the living creature. He also questions the two-dimensionality of painting: taking the rug from the floor and placing it on the wall denies illusionism, the assertion that traditional art truthfully represents three-dimensional reality.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in to me or sent the link
. It is amazing.
I would be already crying when the lights started fickering.
But it's so funny when she screams, lol
Based on whay everyone was saying yesterday i will not be watching this alone! I'm such a wuss.ReplyCancel
@Krab–NO. I thought this was pretty mean and went a little too far. Some people would be so scared and on the verge of heart attacks. People have had heart attacks from much less.
The only ones I did find kind of funny were when there was more than one person in the elevator. If I was with someone else, I wouldn't have been quite so scared. Rarely do more than one person see a ghost! (That's my rational thinking I guess…)ReplyCancel
I thought it was mean and not funny-the first lady seemed the bravest.ReplyCancel
Count me as another who was laughing so hard I was crying. My boyfriend actually came in from another room to see what was so funny.
Then again, if that happened to me it would be so NOT funny. You would already be anxious with the lights going out in an elevator, then there's a little girl there? W.T.F.
I think this was cruel. Seriously this would scar me. Not to be drama queen or anything, but this could give someone PTSD.ReplyCancel
I watched this yesterday when you guys recommended it on the other thread. I thought it was really funny, but mean too. LOLReplyCancel
oh man so mean but really funny
The guy who put this is is extremly wealthy in Brazil. I wonder if he paid the "victims"? I can totally see someone suing over this.
People can be such dicks. But I love that the victims clutch their bags like its going to matter. Clearly, the little demon doesn't want your Chapstick. It's funny to watch but I would have died, vomited, peed and died again if it happened to me. I DO NOT handle that stuff well.ReplyCancel
Heh…I wonder how many people peed their pants?ReplyCancel
I watched this too because someone posted it yesterday and I'll say what I said there – it's a goof prank, but I would poop my pants, or possibly punch the girl out of pure fear. And then I'M the asshole.ReplyCancel
I got the impression the elevator didn't go anywhere? Sure it probably rumbled and made noise like it was going up but since she kept crawling in through that space it seemed more like movement for effect. When the doors reopened they were just where they were to begin with.
(The last guy hauling ass and being chased was classic)
<——-so going to hellReplyCancel
I saw this last nite and could not stop laughing!! Its not cruel, its a practical joke…lighten up people! I love to be scared and seriously wish my friends could come up with a joke this good to play on me!!!ReplyCancel
Actually, I was worried about the little girl. What if someone had just reacted and hit her?
Also, heart attacks?
See I would have attacked the monster so that little girl would have gotten hurt.ReplyCancel
Everyone is concerned about heart attacks. I'm more worried about the number of people who probably pissed themselvesReplyCancel
I would have been tempted to smack that girl once she screamed at me. Not hard, mind you, but enough to get her to know whats up.ReplyCancel
Saw this with Mr Eve last night and we both were crying from laughing so hard! A little part of me feels guilty but it's funny!ReplyCancel
Am I the only one who would have beat her little ass? Lol. I know she's supposed to be a ghost. But once I swung my purse and realized that she could actually be hit I would have been all over her! Sorry little girl. I love kids by the way. But if I have to choose between me and the little creepster, she would have been in the corner clutching the shit out of thst doll by the time I realized it wad a joke. Lmao.ReplyCancel

An annual scholarship fund is being established in memory of Juanita Varela Childs, a high school Spanish teacher at Carbon High, who was tragically killed in a car accident with her husband Kim, and 8 year old son Mason on Dec. 11, 2005. They were returning from Salt Lake City after hearing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Juanita had taught for 13 years and was known as the heartbeat of Carbon High. Born in Mexico, she moved to Los Angeles with her father and four younger brothers after her mother deserted the family. Her father, who earned $600 a month as a custodian at UCLA, instilled in her a love of life and value for education.
She joined the Mormon Church when she was a teenager. Upon completing high school, she boarded a Greyhound bus for BYU-Idaho and then transferred to BYU. During this time she completed her mission in Chicago, often giving away her belongings to those in need. She graduated from BYU in April 1992, with a major in Spanish teaching, and a minor in ESL. While at BYU, she started the first Mexican American student's club.
In 1993, Juanita married the love of her life, Kimball Childs from Castle Dale. Their son Mason was born four years later. Their home was in Price.
Four scholarships will be awarded each year to students who are graduating from Carbon High. They will be students who, like Juanita, have overcome adversity and are continuing on with their educations. A priority will be given to students who have been involved in public service.
Carbon High is being joined by many supporters in this scholarship drive. More than $3,000 has already been donated. They hope to raise $50,000 that will allow the scholarships to be given in perpetuity to deserving students. The fund will also be supported each year by a student fund raising drive at Carbon High.

Looks like he is obviously going to be released. N based on his last words before getting sealed it would seem that if he were to be released he would want to fight juha bach since he would provide some sort of a challenge to aizen...and if the bankai stealing abilities are based on strength...then ichigo shdnt be much of a trump card unless he can reach his FGT levels again.

Customer Reviews
Comments: these things are freakin great i love throwing these with a 1/4 swimbait hook. they work great for anything, drop shot, swimbait ,texas rig, they just all around catch fish.
From: Wyatt: FL 5/6/16
Comments: I had been using the Keitech easy shiners for quite some time with great success, but couldn't get the colors I wanted (even at TW). Did a little searching on here & came across these lures & I am really happy that I did. They are extremely effective lure and in all honestly. They will be replacing the Keitech's in my arsenal. For one they are a little cheaper (which is always nice), but they are significantly more durable than the Keitechs. I went out on the Allegheny river tonight for some walleye & caught 10 on the same swim bait. That would never happen with the Keitechs. I bought a bunch of colors but the best ones this evening were albino and silver flash minnow. All in all I am really happy I gave these baits a shot & I highly recommend them.
Comments: When I opened the bag and looked these baits over I could see that they are right up top with the Keitech lures. I grabbed me a bunch of all different colors because I know that when the news gets out they will be hard to find. The action of these lures are incredible. On the fall they shimmy and shake and when you lift it up off the bottom it really comes alive. I catch a lot of walleye and smallmouth bass in the winter and large mouth bass year round. Tackle warehouse always has the baits you need at the price that the weekend angler can afford. Pick you up a few of all the colors because they will all catch fish. If I was hungry and had a lead head jig and a couple of these swimbaits, supper would be ready soon.
From: Wiliam: Hohenwald, TN 12/10/14
Comments: These baits are awesome on an umbrella rig or by themselves rigged on a 1/4 oz. jighead; smokin shad color is my favorite.
From: Wayne: Mooresville, NC
Comments: This a great swimbait to use as a trailer for a 1/4 oz fish head spin.

ACCA invites you to our much anticipated, year-end event. You will hear from a panel of industry specialists across accounting, industry, academia and recruitment who will discuss and debate the future of accountants as we know them. Recently, News Limited media featured stories suggesting that accountants were among the Top 5 jobs facing extinction.
Our Panel will question issues including:
� The decreasing number of accounting positions� particularly at entry and mid-level, due to offshoring, automation and general cost pressures
� Whether accounting skills are still vital for the effective management of organisations
� How will accountants of the future gain their entry level experience
� What will accountancy career paths look like in the future
� How will the education of future accountants need to evolve to address these workplace changes
Through exploring this provocative topic, we aim to gain a better understanding of how accountants will remain critical to the future of business and what we, as a profession, need to do to adapt to the new world order.
It will also be a great night for networking with your ACCA colleagues and achance to meet new contacts.

Is this thepolitical process?
'Cause I'm here toget involved in it.
Question one:will you pledge today
to somehow reduce taxes
while simultaneously loweringthe deficit?
Hey, that's a good idea. Sure.
If it'll win me the election,then yes.
We have a saying up in Alaska.
That's all.
Senator Travers?
Look, let's be honest here.
No one likes taxes, but they payfor our basic needs:
roads, schools, defense.
If we hope to realize ouraspirations as a great planet,
we must each payour fair share
to achieve those noble goals.
Thank you, Senator.
A thoughtful and lucid answer.
You will be destroyed!
(metal clanks)
Is that you, Big Throat?
In the flesh.(giggles)
Listen, I need some dirton Senator Chris Travers.
How quaint.
But I supposeI should do my part
for political intercourse.
Come closer,and I'll expose what I know.
There's nothing.
He's as clean as afreshly waxed buttock.
Hey! Did you put your tonguein my ear?
Certainly not.I don't have a tongue.
Oh, good.'Cause I don't have an ear.

Well? What did youget on Travers?

Nada. He's clean.
I'm sorry, but there'snot one unusual thing
about Senator ChrisZaxxar Travers.
Wait, wait.His middle name is Zaxxar?
Sounds kind of alien.
The voters hate aliens.
They sure do, but this guy'sas human as you or me.
I don't care what he is.
We'll start a rumorthat he's an alien.
Hey, yeah.That'll cost him votes.
Then, when he says hewas born on this planet,
we make him cough uphis Earth Certificate.
Keep it on the news,put him on the defensive.
Oh, this is sneaky.

Title: Sisters Red
Author: Jackson Pearce
Details: Hardcover, 326 pgs
Published: June 7, 2010 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
isbn: 0316068683 (ISBN13: 9780316068680)
Reading Level: Young Adult
Acquired from: Purchased
Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris– the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.
Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts fiercely alongside her. Now Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves and finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax– but loving him means betraying her sister and has the potential to destroy all they've worked for.
I actually read this book a couple weeks ago but at least the ending left enough of an impression I remember it quite well. Although this book seemed like it wasn't really anything special at first I did start to really get into the story before the middle.
I found myself predicting what would happen, and well, I was right. So, in my opinion, too predictable. But to be honest I don't really see that as a negative aspect.
I thought the sisters relationship was pretty accurate as far as most sisters out there and it felt real to me. The romance also felt real and I thought it was sweet.
Although the book certainly didn't 'blow me away' I found myself quite liking it.
You can find Jackson Pearce at her livejournal.
