Affiliate Accounts
Writer Unboxed has affiliate accounts with both Amazon.com and IndieBound.com. That means if you click on a book link and are directed to a choice between those two sites, our affiliate ID is electronically attached. And if you purchase a book via one of those links, we receive a small commission from the store for providing that service in the first place, which goes back into helping to pay expenses here at Writer Unboxed. Regardless of affiliations, you're charged the same amount for books purchased through those stores, so we hope you'll see this as a potential win-win situation and purchase books through our links when you can. Thanks for your support!
Books Received for Interviews
Personal relationships between WU contributors and other authors occasionally lead to interviews published on WU. When this happens, readers can assume a copy of the interviewed author's novel was provided to the interviewer free of charge, in order to conduct a personal and book-specific Q&A experience, often coinciding with an author's book release.
Non-Discrimination Policy
Writer Unboxed is an equal-opportunity blog. We choose our guest bloggers and contributors based upon merit, and never on the basis of race, ancestry, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, or veteran status.*
Policy on Comments
Comments are sometimes moderated at Writer Unboxed. This doesn't mean that comments counter to a poster's perspective are disallowed; on the contrary, we welcome all viewpoints. However if a comment seems to exist only to rib (or barb) a contributor, it will be deleted. We welcome your thoughtful and constructive comments, and hope you'll become a valued voice within the WU community.
tinyCoffee Plugin
In the spring of 2015, WU introduced a new plugin to the website called tinyCoffee. This allows readers of a post to donate a small amount of money to the author of that post, ranging from $2-$20. None of this money goes to Writer Unboxed; it is exclusively for the author. A small percentage does, however, go to PayPal.

AUSTRALIA now has its very own hybrid.The Victorian-built Camry uses a four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor in order to cut its fuel consumption.
The official fuel economy number is six litres per 100km, which makes it by far the most efficient vehicle produced in Australia.It is also almost one second faster to 100km than its petrol sibling - although it is no hot-rod, taking 8.9 seconds to do so.
A stepless continuously variable automatic transmission is standard and all Camry Hybrids come with an impressive amount of standard gear, including six airbags and electronic stability control, keyless entry and start and a rear-view camera.

For the ones still confused about North Carolina laws on Fixed Blade Knives.
I have spent about a week talking with LEOs and calling the local Magistrate, all while carrying in my pocket the NC Statutes of CCW and OCW. I asked the same question to every LEO i could find, "Are Fixed Blade Knives legal to carry?". The answer was the same across the board, "Yes, as long as the knife's total length is NOT longer then 6 inches, it is NOT double edged, it is NOT concealed, and it is NOT being used as a weapon for terror".
The only person than had a different answer was the Magistrate. He said there is no limit on the length of a knife and as long as it is being carried in the open, not concealed, it is legal. This is also backed by the NC Statutes. Keep in mind, if someone feels "unsafe" due to your actions whether physical or verbal, they can call the police and if they find you carrying a 12 inch knife, expect to get a reason why you have it.
For those who need a break down of what I have learned here it is;
The knife's total length can only be equal to or lesser then 6 inches.
The knife only has a single sharpened edge.
-False edges are good.
-Double edged knives are considered "Daggers" no matter the length
The knife is only to be carried in the open.
-If you are talking to any LEOs and they can NOT SEE the total length of the knife, then it is considered concealed.
The knife cannot be waved around in a threatening manner or in a way that will cause others alarm.
-Unsheathe the knife only in self-defense.
-Unsheathe only for the intended utility use.
Lastly, just use your head. If it feels wrong, looks wrong, and smells wrong, then its most likely wrong. Everyone ignores this last part for some reason.
Please share any personal experiences with carrying a Fixed Blade Knife in public or if its just to add more input on this subject, so we can help others with what to expect.

Contemplative Photography Workshop (Level 1)
Miksang Contemplative Photography
'When we actually see directly, the world appears fresh, vivid and alive.'
Workshop Description
Miksang Level 1: Opening the Good Eye
"Opening the Good Eye" is an introduction to the discipline and delight of direct seeing and perception-based photography. We begin to develop the ability to synchronize our mind and eye so that our habitual patterns of seeing and labeling dissolve in a moment of stunning vivid, perception.
During the course we will work with visual exercises and photographic assignments to explore the world of form. We develop confidence in our ability to connect directly with what we see, stay fully present with the perception as we fully understand its qualities, and then express our experience precisely with our cameras.
Pre-requisites: None. Open to all levels of photographic experience.
Workshop Details:
Each day begins with visual exercises followed by a shooting assignment. After lunch we meet for editing, and you will also have free time, for relaxing, socializing and recharging. After dinner we meet for the photo review. All in all it's good fun for all of us.
Optional we offer a meditation instruction. If you like you may join the daily meditation sessions at Dechen Chöling in the morning and the evening.
Camera: a simple point and shoot camera as a SLR camera are both fine. Minimum of 8 megapixels.
The workshop is all digital.
Miksang Contemplative Photography is a workshop about perception, learning to be open, and see the world around us just as it is. In that sense, we begin to open to the world of form, the many varied aspects of our visual world. From that point of view it is important to realize that in this first workshop 'Opening the Good Eye', we do not explore flowers and nature, as they are too loaded with familiarity and concepts.
Level 1 is followed by Level 2. Thus you might want to enjoy a full week of contemplative photography , including the two Miksang Workshop Levels 1 & 2. If you attend both levels we offer a special price of 750 Euro for the full week. Click here to see Infos about Level 2. Please note that there will be additional material costs: 20 euros.
This retreat is taught in English. Translation into other languages are available at no extra costs. Please give us notice of your request as early as possible - about 2 months in advance -, so that we can provide translation services. In case you register short-term please get in touch with us in case you need translation into your language.

WNYC Election Night Blog
WNYC is on the scene at campaign headquarters in New York and New Jersey. Our reporters are sending in dispatches about what they see and hear as election night unfolds.
Patricia Willens, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 12:09am
Bloomberg says he'll be back at work bright and early tomorrow morning, promising to continue his initiatives. He congratulated Thompson for a spirited campaign. He tapped into crowd spirit for the Yankees and walked off to Sinatra's 'New York, New York.' The crowd is leaving fairly quickly, but with many smiles.
Andrea Bernstein, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 12:03am
No acknowledgment by Bloomberg of his squeaker victory. The speech sounds like what Bloomberg has been promising all along...lower crime, better health, higher school test scores. 'We're going to make the next four years the best yet.'
Andrea Bernstein, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 11:17pm
I was talking to a senior administration official, who said of a third term 'it was going to be hard anyway,' even without a $100 million plus sqeaker. But then, as we were speaking, the understanding that nearly half the voters don't like Bloomberg sunk in. 'Wow. It's going to be hard.'
Patricia Willens, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 10:54pm
When told the race was tight, down to just a couple percentage points, Bloomberg supporters are surprised. One man blamed light turnout. Another said it may have come down to anti-Bloomberg sentiment, saying he was not very strong on the campaign trail. But others waved off the dramatic numbers, saying Bloomberg is a non-traditional politician and would pull through. As the hour wore on, the spread opened up a bit more. Still, all the Bloomberg campaign representatives disappeared around 9:30, presumably rewriting their talking points and maybe the mayor's speech. Geoffrey Canada of the Harlem Children's Zone just did a quick crowd rousing speech and the band is back, with a funkier set than earlier in the night.
Arun Venugopal, at Thompson Headquarters, 10:36pm
The crowd here at the Hilton has been electrified. Every speaker on stage is driving home the message that NYC's voters are rejecting big spending tonight--'Money can't buy everything!'--and turning to Thompson. There are flat screens all around the ballroom, and people are paying close attention to the returns, looking for those micro-shifts in favor of their man.
Andrea Bernstein, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 10:32pm
It's a bubble here, no one knows how close it is--49 to 4--with 72 percent of votes in. The senior staff has disappeared. I did find Oliver Koppell, the City Councilman and erstwhile State Attorney General, who was stunned speechless. If you know Koppell, you know how unusual that is. 'Term limits' was the reason he said, and when asked about what it means for a third term, he had a one-word answer: 'Trouble.'
Arun Venugopal, at Thompson Headquarters, 9:56pm
NY1 just showed 49-48, with 17 percent of the vote counted. A big cheer went up here at the Hilton, and everyone started chanting 'Bill Thompson!' The crowd is getting pumped.
Andrea Bernstein, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 9:45pm
An 84-year old, somewhat slower-talking-than-you remember Ed Koch just took the stage, to welcome Bloomberg to the club of three-term Mayors--Hizzoner included-- LaGuardia, Wagner, and Koch. 'Bloomberg,' Koch said, has restored New York 'to what it once was.'
Arun Venugopal, at Thompson Headquarters, 9:43pm
As I type, the Christopher Cross song 'Arthur's Theme' ('When you get caught between the moon and New York City...') is playing here at Bill Thompson's election party. This is not the first but the second time I've heard it in the last hour. Thompson's election nite iPod seems to consist almost entirely of minor-key songs about New York. Other telling examples: Don Henley's 'New York Minute,' Billy Joel's 'New York State of Mind,' and Sting's 'An Englishman in New York.' Oddly, it makes for a more sophisticated party vibe (far better than an endless stream of rock anthems, no?), and to be honest, people seem to enjoying themselves and their mini-burgers. Rep. Anthony Wiener is in the house--sounding relieved not to have been the Democratic candidate up against Bloomberg's bottomless treasure chest. Bill De Blasio is also milling about, and I'm told Freddy Ferrer is due soon. Thompson himself is expected around 10:30. A big cheer goes up when NY1 shows Bloomberg leading by just 7 points, with 8 percent of ballots counted.
Karen Frillmann, at Corzine Headquarters, 9:30pm
There are lots of folks milling around in purple t-shirts with bright yellow lettering that spell out SEIU--Service Employees International Union. Talking with two women near the coffee bar, they said they spent the day going door-to-door in New Brunswick in an attempt to get registered voters to the polls. They said it went 'OK,' not great. They said people were interested but not anything like last election day. The ballroom at the Hilton is finally beginning to fill up and there are lots of people watching the TV screens that report the race for the New Jersey Governor's seat is close to a dead heat between the Democrats and Republicans.
Kathleen Horan, at Liu Headquarters, 9:26pm
Andrea Bernstein, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 8:54pm
Ed Skylar, the bean pole-like Deputy Mayor, is wandering through the crowd now, as is Howard Wolfson, the campaign Communications Director, who usually doesn't make an appearance if he thinks he's losing (Hillary Clinton, New Hampshire primary). Wolfson is edging past waiters with mini-cheese burgers and chicken tenders. There are also folks who just like Mike Bloomberg...the charter school people...others who feel the Mayor helped make their project work.
Patricia Willens, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 8:41pm
Supporters are streaming in at a steady pace. The R&B band is in full swing. I spoke with a West African mother who has been in the city for the last 40 years, and is raising her children here. She applauded Bloomberg for his pro-immigration positions and improving the reading curriculum at her school in Queens. Then there was the president of a Korean veterans group who said his group joined a coalition endorsing the mayor last fall. Finally, a board member of an all-girls charter school in the Bronx said the support from the Department of Education has made her school possible. When asked about term limits and the money the mayor spent on his campaign for a third term in office they all shrugged their shoulders and repeated their support.
Andrea Bernstein, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 8:22pm
In 2001, Mike Bloomberg held his election party in a Times Square blues club. Waitresses carried lighted trays that said 'Mike for Mayor' with fancy canapes. By election night party standards it had flair--not, perhaps, as much flair as the party he threw at the Democratic National Convention in 2000 (before he ran for Mayor)--with a tray of oysters overseen by a live mermaid (okay, an actress). But it had more flair than tonight's election party in a giant ballroom in the Sheraton New York. Sterno is heating 'sicilian' pizza and hot dogs, and there's an open bar (lavish by the standards of most campaigns, where you're lucky to find peanuts). Still, it's like the party for the bat mitzvah of your wealthy cousin.
Karen Frillmann, at Corzine Headquarters, 8:21pm
The ball room at the Hilton Hotel has scattered signs that say 'Latinos for Corzine/Weinberg' and 'OPCMIA Families Support Corzine.' There's lots of press, but this room--which is expected to fill with Democratic supporters--is pretty empty. The polls have closed in New Jersey but none of the big guns or behind-the-scenes players are emerging with even a peep.
Andrea Bernstein, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 8:02pm
You won't see it when Mike Bloomberg takes the stage tonight, but under the risers where he and his supporters will stand are long decals with a mosaic of "YOUR ETHNIC GROUP HERE" for Bloomberg. Pakistanis, Irish, LGBT, Women. Not surprising, the Mayor is legendary--in political circles-- for having his website translated into 14 languages. But tucked in among the ethnic groups is "Bus Riders for Bloomberg," Bus Riders? Never knew 'em to have a sense of identity politics. Maybe we'll be seeing bus riders rallies from here on in…
Karen Frillmann, at Corzine Headquarters, 7:38pm
Campaign officials say they're 'satisfied' with reports on voter turnout numbers in traditionally Democratic districts. In the last two gubernatorial elections in New Jersey, turnout was close to 50 percent, a far cry from the 73 percent that turned out a year ago when President Obama was elected.
Karen Frillmann, at Corzine Headquarters, 7:16pm
The 3rd floor at the Hilton Hotel in East Brunswick is slowly filling with a 'who's who' of New Jersey politics, local and national media and all the hangers on. At the sports bar adjacent to Governor Corzine's rented gathering spot there are murmurings that turnout was light. The countdown goes to 8:00 when the polls close and more will be disclosed.
Arun Venugopal, in Jackson Heights, 7:11pm
I just witnessed an interesting sidewalk showdown of sorts between two City Council candidates in Jackson Heights and their supporters. In front of PS 69, Mujib Rahman, who is running on the Independent, Republican and Conservative tickets, is handing out a campaign flyer calling Daniel Dromm, his Democrat opponent, a 'radical activist for gay special interests.' Dromm is a gay activist and beat incumbent Helen Sears in the Democratic primary. Dromm and Rahman exchanged words and Dromm's supporters refused to shake Rahman's hand, saying they were offended by what they saw as gay baiting. Rahman played dumb at first, but told me he represents 'the silent majority' and that Dromm and company 'go to town on gay issues and nothing else.'
Jackson Heights has one of the largest gay populations in New York City. Dromm says he hadn't experienced any homophobia during this election until this incident, and his aide, who like Rahman is Bangladeshi, said that his community is not homophobic and wants to keep its religious values separate from its politics.
Patricia Willens, at Bloomberg Headquarters, 6:53pm
The Sheraton just north of Times Square is a massive hotel that hosts major events almost every day of the year so this election night party fits right in to the hustle and churn of the lobby and meeting rooms. Inside the ballroom the volunteers are wandering around, but with purpose and energy, in t-shirts that say things like 'Women for Bloomberg.' Behind them a massive blue banner says only 'Progress.' But mostly this is the time for equipment checks. Photographers are talking lens types, bored TV cameramen are munching on popcorn, sound engineers are taping cords to the carpet. Journalists are calling in to their editors or...posting to their blogs. I'm told doors open to supporters at 8 and then the real party will begin.
Beth Fertig, in Flushing, 4:31pm
Joshua Proctor, 13, and Jah-Leel Fulmore, 13, are volunteering for the Bloomberg campaign outside Bland Houses in Flushing. They said they volunteered over the summer because they like the mayor and they can get recommendation letters for high school. They also got invited to the election night party in Manhattan.

We understand the dilemma of the United States Postal Service. It has lost billions on its operations in recent years and has to find efficiencies.
However to us and we think most people the concept of efficiency means providing the same or faster service using fewer resources. It doesn't mean providing far worse service at the same price.
But that is how the proposed closure of the Paducah postal processing center will shake out for many businesses, including ours. In addition to the business impact, it is a slight to the local workers at the center, who despite having older equipment are consistently more efficient than the processing center in Louisville and are among the most efficient in the state.
Simply put, the Postal Service plan is to close an efficient local operation and save money by adding a couple of days or more to the time it takes to deliver local customers' out-of-county mail. Is it any surprise, then, that this quasi-government operation continues to hemorrhage revenue and mail volume?
The closure will mean that a letter mailed from Paducah to Murray will now route through Evansville rather than being sent directly, adding at least a day to the delivery time. For The Paducah Sun it will likewise mean that many of the 368 newspapers we currently deliver by same-day mail to our customers will now be delivered two or three days after the publication date. This will cost us some customers and greatly inconvenience those who remain. (People who receive our newspaper by mail live in areas where carrier delivery is not feasible).
The change will also mean delays in processing and delivery of billing statements for the newspaper and other local businesses that have a regional customer base.
Overall it is fair to say that from a business competitiveness standpoint, none of this is good for Paducah businesses or the Paducah market.
Of course the Postal Service is burdened by the fact that it is a quasi-governmental agency under the thumb of Congress. Many of its financial woes stem from onerous mandates Congress has placed upon it.
There was an illustrative article in the Washington Post recently dealing with a federal mandate that the Postal Service deliver groceries at a loss by air to small Alaskan bush communities. This is not exactly in tune with the Postal Service's mission to deliver the mail. This "mail" includes such items as dog food and TV sets, and delivering it isn't cheap. A 12-pack of Coke costs the Postal Service $21 to deliver to the bush, but it is required to do so - and at less than cost. Further, the Postal Service is required to pay air carriers above-market rates for the deliveries. The Post article says the Postal Service has lost $2.5 billion over the past three decades running this program.
Another major source of bleeding for the Postal Service is the congressional mandate that it put aside $5 billion a year to fund future health care costs of retired postal workers, well in excess of what actuaries say is needed.
So yes, efficiency is hard when Congress gets into the act, and the Postal Service suffers greatly from that. But in the case at hand, it is hard to understand how the Postal Service expects to stop the bleeding of customers and mail volume when it takes actions such as the one proposed for Paducah, which is sure to drive away business.

By Chris Miskiewicz
The florescent lights flicker above me. I can hear them. But, more important is the fact that I can feel them. It's something about the electric. I know it is.
My stomach hurts, and I can smell this shirt. I hate this shirt. I really do. But my stomach is killing me. It's the Taco Bell. It's got to be.
There are four people standing dull eyed on line. Two women. The blonde is cute. Two guys. Both guys are getting pissed off by how slow we are. I already don't like the guy with the brown hair and black jacket. Roberta is falling asleep behind the counter, and Jack doesn't have any idea what's going on. Jack isn't even his name. "Jaqualababo" is. Whatever that means. He fucks up every order. It never fails.
"Next. Welcome to Kinko's. How may I be of service?" I say in my most sarcastic voice to the blonde girl.
"Um. I, like, need to have my resume copied. I, like, need about ten of them," she smiles.
"Sure thing," I go, handing the pages over to "Jack" who will probably fuck them up.
"Thank you."
"Not a problem," I say, staring at her little hat and perfect boots. But she doesn't want to talk to me.
"How was your day?"
"Fine." She looks around me. Past me.
"A little cold though, huh?"
"Just a little."
"Yeah, well, I'm burning up," I said, catching her looking back towards the guy with the brown hair.
"Here dey is," Jack says, handing over the pages just as things were starting to heat up between us.
"It was nice talking with you."
"I'm sorry, but can we move this along?" Brown hair guy says.
"I'm sorry sir, but I'm helping someone else right now," I say, smiling brightly. I really hate him.
The blonde girl leaves. My stomach hurts. I can still feel the electric lights above me. Then the place empties out until he comes in at around three in the morning.
I tell you, I could pick them out of a police line up. The way their eyes look. The way they move. How they clutch the folder tightly against their chest.
"Excuse me?" he asks, timidly moving up to the counter.
I see his swollen and teary eyes. How broken up the guy is.
"Welcome to Kinko's. How can I help you?"
He stares at me for a good twenty seconds before placing the black folder on the counter.
"I'd like it if you could make me a copy…of her."
I shake my head.
"Her, huh?"
He nods, almost breaking into tears.
"Yeah, she's my…my girl…ex-girlfriend."
I exhale. I get about three or four of these guys per week on the night shift coming in like they've just had their heart ripped out. It's always the same.
"Could you make a copy of my girl? Could you make her just like the real one? Could you help me? She was the best girl in the world and I can't live without her?"
"Color or black and white?"
"Well…color. I'd like her to be exact."
"Uh huh," I said, grabbing an order form. "Let's see what you have here."
He opens the folder pulling out dozens of pictures from every angle, holidays, in her favorite clothes, smiling, pissed off, fat, thin, looking good and bad at the same time.
"This is everything that I could find," he sniffled.
"Sure. Yep."
"She's the best one. She's the best girl in the world."
"I bet she is," I said, not really paying any attention to the pictures as I filled out the form.
"She is. She is and I lost her."
"Do you want a duplicate made or just the single copy?"
"A duplicate?"
"Yeah. How many of her do you want?"
He shakes his head.
"Just one. I just want her back."
I felt my stomach gurgle again.
"Look buddy, they may look the same, but they're different. You know that right? It's a copy. They break. Sometimes the color even runs. They don't say the same things. And they don't have half of the personality of the original.
"Sure they show up pretty, but there's nothing upstairs. You know what I mean? It's just a pretty face, but it's not your girl. You understand that right?
"You can't bring them outside when it rains because the paper gets all funny. I've even seen some of them on trash day all used up waiting for the garbage men to come and take them away.
"And the garbage men…Jesus! The garbage men do the worst shit to them in the dump. You don't want to know all of the sick sex stuff that they make them do to each other. It's sad. And you're a good-looking guy. You'll find someone new in no time, and then what are you gonna do with this poor copy? Are you sure you want to do this?"
As usual, he says the same thing as the rest of them.
"Yes. I just want her back."
"Okay. Fill out this form and then you have to go talk to Jack over there when you're done. It takes four days. You come back in two to check out the proofs and it's just two days after that. Then you can take her home."
"Good. Thank you," the poor bastard said.
I picked up the folder and threw it on the pile and went to finishing my other orders. Around five AM I got to his. That's when I opened the folder and felt my heart stop as I took the time to stare at her pictures.
She was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen a woman who looked like she did. She was breathtaking. I saw how happy he was with her. How he seemed to gleam at her side.
I looked over my shoulder. No one was watching. Then I checked the duplicate box.
She came home on Wednesday and I quickly threw out the others. Francine, Jenn, Dina and Frankie. I asked them to go downstairs and wait by the curb. The only problem was that it started to rain, and I looked outside and saw that their colors were running.
They stood there getting wet until the garbage men came and threw them into the back of the truck, loudly laughing about whatever sick fantasy they were gonna make my old girls do.
Some men just don't get art.
"Well Linda. This is your new home," I said while pulling the blinds closed.
She smiled. There wasn't as much of that vacant look in her eyes that they all get. She was new. She was perfect, for now.
"How do you like my place?"
"I like it."
"That's great. I want to show you your favorite room. It's the bedroom," I giggled. "It's right this way."
"I'm very excited. I like it."
"Maybe later we can go out and get some Taco Bell. Would you like that?"
"I like it," she smiled, making the corners of her mouth crease into perfect points.
"Yeah. I thought you would," I said as I walked her into the bedroom, glancing at the clock to see that I had the whole day to play with her before I was on the night shift again.

Margarito sparring session
Report and photos by Ricardo Conde
Three-time world champion, the "Tijuana Tornado" Antonio Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs) of Mexico continues his preparations at the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy in Oxnard, CA for his showdown with seven-time world champion and considered widely by many to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world, Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs) of the Philippines, which takes place on Saturday, November 13th at the $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX for the vacant WBC junior middleweight championship and will also be shown live on HBO Pay-Per-View.

"This is probably the best training camp I've had throughout my career. We're working as hard as we can with the goal to beat Manny Pacquiao on November 13th," said Margarito. "I know I have what it takes to beat Manny Pacquiao, we've put a great team together and we'll come out with our hands raised in victory that night."
Margarito has enlisted the help of southpaw's, WBC Continental Americas junior middleweight champion Austin "No Doubt" Trout (21-0, 13 KOs), 2000 Olympic silver medalist and junior middleweight contender Ricardo "Slicky Ricky" Williams (16-2, 9 KOs), welterweight prospect Cleotis "Mookie" Pendarvis (10-3-2, 4KOs) and highly talented junior welterweight prospect Karim "KC" Martinez (2-0, 2 KOs).
"Margarito puts a lot of pressure on you and if you're not ready he'll wear you down. He just keeps coming at you, you think he's going to throw three punches; he ends up throwing six, seven, sometimes eight punches at a time. I don't think he knows what taking a step back means." said Austin Trout after his recent sparring session with Margarito.
"We couldn't have picked a better group of sparring partners," said chief trainer Robert Garcia. "They're all great fighters and they're all pushing Margarito to the limit. I know that with the work Margarito is putting in the gym, and his determination to win, we'll definitely beat Manny Pacquiao on November 13th and we'll prove to everyone that Margarito belongs at the top," continued Garcia.
In his last outing Antonio Margarito defeated Roberto "La Amenaza" Garcia (28-3, 21 KOs) on May 8 at the Plaza Monumental in Aguascalientes, Mexico via unanimous decision.
Also, scheduled to be on the undercard will be former middleweight champion Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik (36-2, 36 KOs), super bantamweight sensation Guillermo "El Chacal" Rigondeaux (6-0, 5 KOs) and undefeated NABA/NABO welterweight champion Mike Jones (22-0, 18 KOs), in separate bouts.
The Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito world championship fight is being presented by Top Rank, in association with Cowboys Stadium and MP Promotions and will be produced and distributed live on HBO Pay-Per-View. Remaining tickets are priced at $700, $500, $300, $200, $100, and $50 and can be purchased at the Cowboys Stadium ticket office, by phone at 800-745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.

"Sketched by themselves" The panorama tested by the 'panoramic'
Examining the pertinence of the notion "panoramic literature", famously used by Walter Benjamin in a series of studies on nineteenth century manners, on the basis on a French, Belgian, English, German, Spanish and Austrian corpus: that is what is at stake in this issue. Benjamin's heuristic model, drawn from the spectacle of the panorama, seems to capture the 'scopic pulsion' which is connected to the advent of the social democratic state and which, underlying these texts, manifests itself in effects of specularity and reflexivity. By its unifying vocation, the model also brings to light another dimension of these texts, namely a characteristic dialectic of similarity and difference, of individuality and universality, inherited from the Enlightenment and arguably also indebted to the optical illusion. In returning to this notion, the present issue engages in a critique of panoramic reason, which is also a critique of critical reason in its analysis of the moment when, in each of the countries under consideration, a 'panoramic literature' constitutes itself as an object of study and a literary-historical question. The issue hence forms both the antechamber of and the springboard for an upcoming site, "Sociorama", which will be devoted to interdisciplinary research on international "panoramic" literature.

Our Electrical Work
"We hired Choice Electric to upgrade our electrical system and lighting for our home remodel project in a competitive bid with two other contractors. This included all new electrical wiring and lighting for our kitchen, plus new recessed lights, pendant lights, switches and receptacles throughout the house. The work was completed to our satisfaction and passed the City building inspection with no issues. Chris was always friendly and helpful. I think I received excellent value from Choice Electric and would recommend them without reservation."
Tom R.
I needed to upgrade my electrical amperage and also to replace my electrical panels. I had no idea which electrician to hire. I found Choice Electric on the Internet and called them for a bid, based on the wonderful reviews I read about them, on Yelp!! I also got 2 other bids. Choice Electric was financially a good price and Chris is very professional and he knows his stuff!! Choice Electric lived up to their proposal and promises. My whole project went very well and I am extremely satisfied with their work!! I would recommend Choice Electric for any and all of your electrical needs!!!

Sermon Illustrations
Frederick John Gilman, The Evolution of the English Hymn, Macmillan, 1927, pp. 223-225
Charles Wesley wrote some of his hymns to promote his brother John's doctrine of entire sanctification. The second verse of his "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" asks God to "take away our bent to sinning." This was too much for Calvinist Augustus Toplady. In a magazine of which he was editor, Toplady wrote an article in refutation, detailing a picture of man's potential for sinning. He arrived at the mathematical conclusion that a man of eighty is guilty of many millions of sins, a debt we can never hope to pay but for which he need not despair because of the sufficiency of Christ. He closed the article with an original poem. "A Living and Dying Prayer for the Holiest believer in the World."
This poem, now one of the most beloved hymns of all time, and know under the title, "Rock of Ages," was born out of party spirit.

Hi, I am interested in creating a wordpress site for my band. We have a myspace up but I would like to get out from under that. I do not want a flash template, just something that's very informative yet creative. I am learning to use photoshop at ground zero. I would like to be able to add an mp3 player to the html code as well as possibly a widget that lets me update a section on the front page from Twitter. I have already seen a few themes that look pretty cool. I just don't know the range of content that I get to edit and how challenging it may be.
I'm new to this and looking for insights and recommendations. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
My best suggestion to you is find what theme looks best to you and serves the purpose you want as close as possible. This way there is need for minimal changes. Then, purchase that template, get yourself a hosting provide and follow the instructions for setup.
Once you've activated the template and you're online, play around, ask some questions, read over the message boards, checkout some wordpress tutorials and have some fun It's all about the trial and error my friend. It's a great learning tool.
Best of luck. I hope someone can provide you with something useful

To many artists (and true art-lovers) art is their spirituality, their faith, their religion – leading their path, teaching them philosophies, morals, ethics, belief-systems, connecting them with with their own selves, humanity, nature, truths, a higher force (?) like nothing else can.
So does that make an artist's studio (or wherever it is that they work) their temple?
A studio is a sacred place that you come to do some bit of reflection and thinking.
– El Anatsui
If a sacred area is one that you respect/revere/protect/connect to in a spiritual way (however you define that), is a place that you meditate in (how many artists go into a "zone" or into a "state" when they work?), or perhaps even connect with the divine or a higher force (whatever that may or may not be), then a studio (and other places where an artist creates) seems to fit the definition.
Studios, Churches, a Temple, and a Synagogue:
* Pics of studios are from Pinterest. Check out my Studios & Workspaces board to see each of the studios above. The pics of the temples, churches, and synagogue are stock pics.
I definitely see some similarities in the pics above. The use of light and space, windows and grand walls, specific seating and work surfaces.
Is your artistic space sacred to you? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
And in case you haven't seen it, here's Marilyn Manson dropping by an art class to talk to the students about the importance of art and how, to him, it's like a religion.
"…for some people like me [art] is the closest thing that can be religious. I think the idea of God is supposed to be about creation. I think artists put things in the world. I think that's ultimately spiritual to me."

I need ideas to feed a very large group of people - kids and adults. This is a fundraiser in our homeschool co-op and about 40 people usually want to purchase the meal. It is a lunch, needs to be vegetarian and needs to be inexpensive (the point is to *raise* money after all ;) ) I did our first one today, it was an enchilada lunch. I charged $5 a plate, the meal was bean/potato enchiladas with homemade sauce in corn tortillas. Served with fresh fruit (grapes & orange slices), and a choice of spanish rice or tortilla chips. It was super yummy and we made nearly $200! woo-hoo!
I don't want to do another mexican-themed one, and am looking for ideas! Here's some I have so far - please add your own ideas or comment on what I have:
- Some kind of bean soup - chili? minestrone? with fresh bread & sala
- Spaghetti, some kind of veggie or salad and garlic bread or fruit maybe?
- Baked potato bar (a serve yourself bar with baked potatoes and toppings)
I need to do two more of these big lunches... help!
Mama of 3 amazingly sweet kids , living the dream on our urban farm
curried veggies with tofu or chickpeas over rice
homemade bean burgers (or veggie burgers), with a variety of burger fixings
thai peanut noodles and stir-fried veggies
Lentil curry over multi-grain rice is a really great way of feeding large groups of people but not sure how popular this will be with your particular crowed.
Great ideas, thank you! I will have to say that brown lentils are one of the few foods I really don't care for, so I wouldn't make those in any kind of large quantity :)
Mama of 3 amazingly sweet kids , living the dream on our urban farm
Lol. One of my top go to things I make :) but I know not everyone likes them! Also, red lentils are pretty good compromise. Potato samosas are delicious (and cheap) but maybe too much work? Can you get premade dough for the pockets, if so they are yummy and easy. You just need to spice the potatoes according to your palate.
i can understand.
but do you know there are many kinds of lentils.
have you ever tried french lentils - they are like the brown ones - but smaller and green.
or try the red lentils - which are skinless and make gread burger patties.
OP how about a big hearty bean soup with cornbread. it goes REALLY well together. esp. pinto beans or black beans soup.
can you do eggs?
how about frittata or spanish tortilla. both go well with a salad and garlic bread or any ethnic bread like armenian or russian or afghanistani bread (are you making the bread or buying them. ethnic bread is really CHEAP and delicious - i use 3 'loaves' for 30 people and they are 2 bucks a piece).
winter is coming up. roasted veggies.
or stir fry veggies over rice noodles or bean noodles.
A pasta dish seems like a good idea, either a cold pasta salad or a warm preparation with veggies. You could always do the sauce separate so people can choose how much or how little sauce. Garlic bread or garlic knots and a salad with vinaigrette would be good sides.
Book loving, editor mom to 2
I love the idea of a hearty bean-based soup with bread. You could probably do something like that for VERY cheap.
Back when I used to cook for a crowd on a budget, a favorite dish was chick peas and tomatoes over rice. The chick pea/tomato thing was vaguely indian spiced. I think the recipe came from "Moosewood Cooks for a Crowd" - which is a great book to check out, BTW.
What about homemade pizzas?
GREAT BOOK i agree.
i have found in my experience chickpea is one bean that is not commonly liked by many people. i have had better luck with black bean and pinto and even cannellini beans - not chick peas. in fact after watching people not eat the amount they usually would i stopped really making them for random big groups.
me on the other hand LOVE chick pea and can eat it in any way possible. even just boiled with some salt.

Wine Glossary
At J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, we are continually striving to make your wine experience as fun and engaging as possible. We believe that wine should be friendly and accessible, and, as part of this philosophy, we've put together a glossary of wine terminology to help demystify the wine experience. We hope that this glossary will explain some of the more technical wine lingo, as well as illuminate the winemaking (and wine tasting) process, and, in turn, help you enjoy our wines even more.
Acidity: The tart quality that gives wine a sense of body and structure. Acidity gives wine structure, which is essential in a balanced wine.
Aftertaste: See "Finish" below
Alcohol: Alcohol contributes to a wine's body and texture. Lower alcohol can give the impression of a sweeter wine.
American Viticulture Area (AVA): A particular winegrowing region that has distinctive geographical features, such as Arroyo Seco, Paso Robles, or Napa. Applications are submitted to and approved by the TTB.
Appellation:See above (AVA).
Aroma:The scent of a wine. The term aroma is sometimes applied to younger wines, while the term bouquet is often reserved for more aged wines.
Balance: Balance occurs when there is harmony among all of the desirable elements in a wine: acidity, fruit and, where appropriate, tannins. A well-balanced wine has all of these elements in proper proportion.
Body: The overall texture or weight of wine in the mouth. Wine can be "light-bodied," "medium-bodied" or "full-bodied."
Bouquet: The complex aromas that develop with age in fine wines.
Brix/Degrees brix: A unit of measurement of the amount of sugar in wine grapes.
Buttery: A term for the rich, buttery flavor and smoothness of texture in some wines (usually oak-aged white wines) resulting from the presence of lactic acid.
Clone: Within a given varietal (ie. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, etc.) there are often many clonal options that can be grown. Different clones of an individual varietal can highlight unique flavors or aromas, or may be particularly suited to specific soils or climates.
Enology: The study and making of wine.
Fermentation: A stage of the winemaking process in which the sugar in grapes is converted into alcohol and CO2 by yeast.
Finish: The aftertaste, or final impression, that a wine leaves in the mouth. Usually, the longer the finish the better.
Fruit: A term used to describe the aroma and flavor of a wine. Wine rarely ever tastes like grapes. Rather, the taste of a particular wine can often be described in terms of other fruit, such as apple, black currant, cherry, citrus, pear, peach, raspberry, strawberry, etc.
Grip: The structure and firmness of flavor in a wine.
Late Harvest Wine: A wine made from grapes that have been left on the vine longer than usual in order to concentrate sugars.
Lees: A natural sediment resulting from fermentation; lees contact during aging can give wine additional depth and flavor.
Legs: The tracks of liquid that run down the sides of a glass after swirling or sipping.
Length: The time that the finish or aftertaste persists in the mouth; generally, the greater the length, the better the wine.
Maceration: The process of soaking grape skins with wine during fermentation in order to extract color, tannin and aroma.
Malolactic fermentation: A secondary fermentation that converts wine's tart malic acid into lactic acid. The result is a softer, mellower wine with a slight buttery sensation.
Nose: A term for the overall smell of a wine, its aroma and bouquet.
Oak: The aroma and flavor that result from aging wine in oak casks or barrels. Time in new oak can give wine a heavily toasted, vanilla aroma and flavor, while older oak barrels impart a more delicate and subtle flavor. Oak softens, rounds out and builds the body of a wine.
pH: A measurement of the acidity in a wine; the lower a wine's pH, the more acidic it is.
Racking (draining and pressing): The process of moving wine from one container to another after fermentation, leaving the sediments (such as lees) behind in the original container.
Residual sugar: Unfermented, natural grape sugar that remains in wine after fermentation is stopped by refrigeration.
Sur lie: A French term meaning "on the lees," this term refers to the winemaking practice of leaving wine – usually white wine – in contact with the lees after fermentation, which adds flavor, body and complexity.
Tannin: A naturally occurring component found in the skins, seeds, and stems of grapes. Tannins (which are most prominent in red wines) impart an astringency when the wine is young, but resolve into delicious and complex elements when the wine is cellared under appropriate temperature conditions (55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit).
Terroir: The French term for "soil," terroir refers to the physical and geographical characteristics of a particular vineyard site that influence the aromas and flavors of the resulting wine.
Vintage: The year in which the grapes for a wine were harvested
Viticulture: The study and science of grape growing.
Yeast: The microorganism responsible for fermentation by converting the grapes' sugar into alcohol. Yeasts can be cultured or indigenous (wild). J. Lohr commonly uses a dozen different yeast strains in fermentation.

When a cougar is reported in a neighborhood we will usually investigate if there is enough information and it is timely enough. Usually, cougars do not pose a threat when they are just passing through. However, if they are repeatedly seen in a residential area or have killed pets or livestock, then we become involved. However, something large on a roof could be anything including house cats, raccoons, or even a Halloween reveler throwing something. If you see tracks or sign or actually see a cougar, please let us know. Thank you.

Bad Day at the Plastic Mines #5
Oh yes, Shawn is back with the fifth installment of Bad Day at the Plastic Mines, this time illuminating Abstract Dictation, a new concrete language / experimental artform using ipads & other technology. It seems computers try to translate your words into print, and in the conversion process some interesting things happen. Add more than one voice to the mix and you have scrambled sentences for breakfast.
This one-page/doublesided/folded zine is always fascinating to read and shows what can be created with a piece of paper, something to say, and some ink.
