Great day out
The writer Brillat-Savarin quipped that 'A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine'.

AgileApps Free Trial
The fast path to process-driven applications.
Software AG's webMethods AgileApps Platform is an amazingly easy, incredibly powerful rapid application development platform. It's a fast way to increase productivity and deliver process-driven applications that enable you to quickly respond to changing business and process needs in weeks, not months.
Deliver process-driven applications in weeks rather than months. Using the AgileApps Platform, subject matter experts can visually assemble powerful productivity applications with ready-to-run processes, flexible business rules, document assembly, drag-and-drop e-forms, customized reports, interactive dashboards and mobile access.
Use AgileApps to build and deploy process-driven applications that engage constituents, including employees, partners and suppliers.
Streamline team-based activities and approval cycles by modeling and running business processes as a flow of automated and manual human-centric tasks.
Automatically access your information and applications on various Web-enabled mobile devices with dashboards, views and forms optimized for mobile devices.
Use AgileApps business rules to automate common activities to shorten response times and implement your best practices.
Visually create forms you need to capture a wide variety of data—from simple text fields to numeric values, to typical form elements like checkboxes and dropdown pick lists.
Respond quickly to new requests, issues and questions from multiple channels, including email, Web and social.
Meet performance goals and contractual service requirements that are critical to your department using SLAs and escalations.
Standardize user-facing messages to improve efficiency and ensure consistent messaging with pre-programmed responses to common questions.
Deliver an integrated and branded portal experience to constituents. Increase customer self-service and engagement by enabling community support and knowledgebase access and also by providing case submissions and tracking.
Insightful decision-making and information management is a snap using easy-to-configure views and reports that provide at-a-glance KPIs and give every user the information they need most.
Customizable business processes help you accelerate and streamline how work gets done. You don't need programming to create business processes, assign tasks, plan for escalations and send custom notifications.
Create powerful enterprise-grade case management applications that streamline and automate enterprise service requests by providing:
Instead of emailing a spreadsheet, turn it into a collaborative Web application. AgileApps was designed to overcome traditional software limitations so it can be used across your organization by people in research and development, HR, finance – everybody!
Using the business rules engine, you can implement and control your business processes, escalations, notifications and approvals the way you want. The dynamic rules engine checks for both time and event conditions to be met on any field value before executing compound, multi-step actions.
AgileApps provides you a variety of ways to interact and communicate with users. It's easy to switch channels by transitioning people to the most effective way to resolve the case: Web, Twitter®, Facebook, portals or email.
Manage your SLAs and tasks to never miss an important deadline. Whether you are concerned about meeting contract commitments, exceeding customer service expectations, or adhering to internal performance measures, SLAs monitor important tasks and track time left to respond to or resolve an open task. Automatic reminders and escalations bring your attention to SLAs that are dangerously close to violation.
Improve insight using beautiful and informative reports and dashboards that help you quickly understand key performance and service metrics. It's simple to create powerful reports that help you visualize your data and provide business insight. You can dynamically analyze information with ad-hoc reports, save often-used reports and schedule the delivery of periodic summary reports by email to team members so everyone is up to date.
Balance delivering great service and managing the cost of delivering support services by offering a customer support portal that lets customers:
Accessing important information from any smart mobile device is essential for a distributed and connected workforce. View and update cases, send messages, receive notifications and more from the convenience and portability of your smart phone or tablet.
The most valuable information helps you make better decisions. It's there when you need it—real-time, accurate and accessible wherever you are. The AgileApps Platform includes real-time information analytics, reporting and role-specific dashboards that can be customized and run on-demand providing access to application information across all devices. AgileApps fosters greater collaboration around data and processes in Web-based productivity apps to provide complete visibility of record and process changes in activity streams.
The only constant is change—changing business needs, changing processes, changing requirements and changing user needs. To keep up with this dynamic environment, organizations need digital business applications that can be updated—and ideally by those people using the application. AgileApps is designed from the business user's point of view and non-technical skill level. Subject matter experts can visually customize their application experience, including forms, fields, rules and processes, based on their evolving needs and requirements.
Most organizations have significantly more requests for applications than they have the funding or resources to complete. AgileApps reduces this long tail of unmet process application requests by making it time efficient and cost effective to assemble situational application or case management applications visually—no coding required!
Compared to building, deploying and managing traditional application architectures, the costs savings of switching to AgileApps are significant (especially when factoring in hardware, software licenses and personnel responsible for maintaining systems). The cost of AgileApps, like any Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, is scalable with your needs.
Create as many applications as you want on AgileApps. Cost will only change as you add users. This scalable pricing adapts to organizational changes so you pay as you grow. By creating multiple applications, you will develop an economy of scale that improves the overall value of each user license.
AgileApps delivers a fast ROI because the cost savings are immediate when compared to traditional homegrown, self-built, self-managed infrastructure. AgileApps applications can be visually changed and optimized throughout the development cycle. They can go live the second they are finished. You can use AgileApps sandboxing features to implement test-release processes to ensure software quality.
You can build multiple applications on AgileApps and share and repurpose them across the enterprise. Investments made for one project can be leveraged by another. Integrations for one project can be used by another. Custom code and components can also be shared. A common user experience and compatibility with enterprise single sign-on makes access a breeze and shortens the time it takes for users to learn and become productive on each new application.

"I have been working for Joan Witte for 5 years. She has done an excellent job on our Public Relations activities including blogs, press relations, articles, LinkedIn and many other projects. She is diligent, organized, creative and a solid writer. I can't speak highly enough about Joan."
–Paula Tompkins, CEO, ChannelNet
"Joan worked with me on several editorial projects in my time at the School of Kinesiology. She and I worked together to rework and enhance articles in the School's flagship alumni magazine, "Movement." Working with Joan, we were able to re-focus our stories with alumni in the magazine to relate to Kines alumni in a much more targeted way. During this time, the Victors for Michigan Campaign was launching, and Joan was able to hone in on stories that would connect and resonate with Kinesiology alumni across the lifespan – young and old."
— Christina Camilli-Whisenhut, Associate Director, Marketing and Communications, U-M School of Kinesiology
"She's a thoughtful and creative marketing communications professional. Joan is respected by her peers, thinks big, and leads strategically. She played a pivotal role in leading Ann Arbor Fiber, a collaborative effort with the city, community, and university to woo Google Fiber to Ann Arbor. Plus, she's one of the nicest people you'll meet."
— Chad Wiebisick, Director of Social Media for Michigan Economic Development Corporation
"Joan provided me excellent and abundant advice when it came to setting up my 2nd website. She approached the site from several levels…in order to get good value overall and best conversion ratios. She was able to answer and advise on user friendly issues such as the use of photos,copy writing, clip art, page layout, video, social media and blogging. She is current and up to date on internet marketing …. providing strategic information which will ultimately have a measurable impact on my bottom line. Further, Joan is the scheduled "education" presenter at every Chamber of Commerce Networking meeting — advising on various methods of marketing our businesses.
I would not hesitate to contact Joan if you are looking for someone who REALLY KNOWS INTERNET MARKETING."
–Nicol Merline, Hypnotherapist
"Joan provided excellent detail in her recommendations and her willingness to coordinate the launch of a major PR effort was great. Her insight of the market and understanding of our target audience was impressive."
–Bill Traver, Founder of BluFish
"Are you looking for a communications expert with extensive background in the information technology or financial services businesses? Joan and I worked together at Ford Motor Company, and I found her to be hardworking, driven, creative, dependable, well organized, enthusiastic and personable. She is an excellent writer and strategic thinker."
— Jim Bright, former Vice President of Public Affairs for Ford Motor Company
"When I became the consumer producer at WDIV-TV, Joan was a valuable source on a variety of consumer finance topics. I could always count on her to help develop interesting "news you can use" stories for television that met both our objectives. I have the highest respect for this talented and dynamic professional. Joan brings experience, vision and a history of commitment to every project she confronts. I cannot adequately express just how valuable Joan can be to you and your organization."
— Leona Gould-McElhone, former WDIV producer

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Landscape Architecture and Design' started by cuttenup, Feb 8, 2008.
Just curious how many of you guys do just landscape work or do most of you landscape as well as mow?
We do both but more landscaping if you have yearly conracts that is guarunteed income for the slower months that you hope you don't have.
Full service is the only way to go.
We get about 25 cuts on a good year in Baltimore I need to do other things
mowing sucks...
we do mostly mowing services all year long , with our climate we work all year long. we do installs when they come up but our area is packed with installers ...so we target the mowing.
Only design and install, its the way to go, I cant stand sitting on a mower and there is way too many guys trying to mow
We do both. I prefer landscaping and it pays better, but mowing is usually the 'foot in the door'. Mowing has lower margins, but technically profitable. The big knock on mowing is the quantity of competiion, but the reallity is very few of them have the machinery, financial capital, or knowledge to compete in the landscape genre.
we also do both. we only cut 3 days a week 80 stops.

Here we have for sale this exquisite little solid silver bon bon, or sweet dish, made in London in 1891 by William Comyns & Sons, of Beak Street W1.

It also bears the stamp of the retailers, Carrington & Co, of Regent Street.
It weighs 110g and measures 13cm diameter (main bowl), 7cm diameter (foot) and is 3.5cm high. We hope that it can find a home with a collector of such lovely, antique silverware. We recently saw a slightly larger dish with the exact same design, made by William Comyns and with a date a few years later than this one, for sale in an antique dealer's in Bakewell for £268.
We have set a genuine low starting price with , in the hope that it will generate a lot of interest and help us to raise much needed funds for Age UK South Lakeland.

Rep. Peter King Thinks Most Mosques are Run By "Radical Imams"
Via Think Progress:
Shortly off the heels of telling Frank Gaffney that "Muslim Americans aren't real Americans," New York Republican Congressman Peter King has once more attacked the Muslim community, again exposing his utter ignorance of the religion.
This week, King went on the Laura Ingraham Show to discuss his upcoming investigation. The guest host asked King how many American mosques he thought were "infected" by "radical jihad sentiment." King, who in the past declared that there are "too many mosques in this country" and called Muslims "an enemy living amongst us," was unabashed in his belief that "over 80 percent of mosques in this country are controlled by radical Imams":
HOST: Congressman, how widespread do you think this radical jihad sentiment is in US mosques? How many mosques do you think are infected?
KING: The only real testimony we have on it is from Sheikh Kabbani who was a Muslim leader during the Clinton Administration, he testified back in 1999 and 2000 before the State Department that he thought over 80 percent of the mosques in this country are controlled by radical Imams. Certainly from what I've seen and dealings I've had, that number seems accurate.
As Think Progress notes: "The best research on the subject, the Detroit Mosque Study from 2004, found that just "6 percent of Detroit's mosque-attending population espoused" extreme views, while the "vast majority of American-Muslims" rejected such beliefs. According to a 2000 study of U.S. mosques, over 70 percent of mosque participants "strongly agree" that Muslims should be involved in American institutions and should participate in the political process.
King will no doubt continue to produce such ignorant and xenophobic all over right-wing media as his "sharia law" investigations proceed.

Compare the headlines of this same newspaper when Obama won by 7 pts. over McCain vs. the Republican Gov. Walker victory by the same margin of 7pts. over his Democrat rival.
Web Link
No bias here. Nothing to see here folks. Just move on.
Original post made by !!!, Amador Estates, on Jun 7, 2012
Comments (7)
Yes, the headlines should have been as follows:
Ho-Hum, Obama Survives Election Contest with McCain
Walker Is First White Governor in Wisconsin to Win Smashing Recall Victory
No, !!! and I are not as retarded as you might think. Well, maybe we are. But racist? You bet. Just keep reading Weasel Zippers and you'll know what I mean!
Yes, DA is right. How can somebody compare a mere Presidential victory by a noncitizen Kenyan with the HUUUUUUUGE Walker recall victory in Wisconsin? Obama the Poser shouldn't have even made the front page.
You're complaining about biased media, yet posting a link to Weasel Zippers. Hmm...
Yup, linking to those newspaper headlines sure seems racist to me. No sense in pointing out the obvious to you hand wringing liberals.....it must be terrible carrying around all that guilt from yoyur plantation owner days........
Wisconsin: state
U.S.: 50 states.
Seriously, Weasel Zippers?
Walker is a better man than Obama. He has integrity and defends the rich against middle class workers. Obama just cozies up to the communists before he hands over this country to them.
7 pts stays 7 points . . . Should have the same weight 7% of 100 is still 7 % of 100....no less, no more.
Interesting Obama's headline was "decisive",but for Walker
he "survived" . Well, we all know where the 'PRESS' stands...always.
DA and Eve your acceptance of media bias only shows how twisted your standards are.
BTW Walker is the FIRST of any AMERICAN ANYWHERE to 'survive' any RECALL...... so 7% was far more than 'surviving'. IF you care about truth and accuracy, which apparently you don't. sad

The Modernisation of Social Housing in England
This paper outlines a conceptual approach to social housing in market economies that addresses problems with earlier frameworks. Focusing on changes in English social housing in the last 30-40 years, the paper outlines an analytical method of wider applicability. Modernisation is a contested term that has been used in a number of different ways in relation to housing. Accordingly we set out a precise definition for current purposes, based on the specification of two models: a mid 20th century public housing model and a contemporary social housing model, with modernisation defined as the process of moving from one to the other. Each model embraces three elements: the role played by social housing in the wider housing system, and aspects of both provision and consumption. It is shown that there is a consistent pattern and direction of change, which can be seen as a process of migration from the public sector towards the private market. The final part acknowledges some of the difficulties of reconciling the idea of models with an obviously dynamic housing system. In particular it is recognised that the social housing model has not reached (and may never reach) a settled state. Two future scenarios are briefly mentioned: one involving a radical transition to a more fully privatised social housing (which appears to be favoured by government), and another suggesting that there is little sign of enthusiasm for this among either provider organisations or consumers.

- Duration73 min
An acclaimed filmmaker from a young age, Solveig Melkeraaen Is used to being in control of her life in Norway. When she is felled by a serious depression, which sees her undergoing electroshock therapy treatment in a psychiatric institute, she turns the camera on herself, in an attempt to take back control. In this intimate and brave exploration of depression, we follow her on the road to recovery, as she teases out the reasons for her breakdown - a journey which sees her trying to puncture the stigma and silence that so often accompanies mental illness. Surrounded by her supportive siblings and loving partner, Solveig seems to be well on her way to recovery -- until a relapse threatens her fragile progress. Unflinching, blackly funny, and beautifully filmed - with highly stylised dramatic sequences - Good Girl breaks new boundaries in autobiographical filmmaking, and shines a light on how this devastating illness weaves its destructive path.

My challenge to myself is to create a damp-proof journal, but I need some help from you crafty clever people!
One of my lecturers has asked us to keep a spiritual journal. Best friend isn't sure she'll be able- she works as a gardener, and that's where she does all her best thinking! So I'd like to surprise her with a journal that can stand the rigours of a rainy muddy gardener's pocket. It needs to be:
a. small enought to fit in a pocket
b. resistant to damp
and C. she needs to be able to write in it!
One idea I had was to use a box as it's cover. I've seen little tin cased books. Any other inspiratons for me?

Sunderland are still keen on bringing Swansea City winger Andre Ayew to the Stadium of Light this summer, after it is understood that he wants a move away from the Liberty Stadium.
The Black Cats tried to capture Ayew back in January, but a bid in excess of £10million was rejected by the Swans, who are looking to push on themselves next season.
That bid has led to more speculation that Sam Allardyce may well close in on the winger to try and bolster his side ahead of the new campaign.
Ayew a target for the Black Cats
It isn't a big secret that Allardyce is a big follower of Ayew and the manager is targeting him as he looks to bring in players that fit the five areas in which he is aiming to strengthen this off season.
Sunderland are yet to make another approach, but Ayew has revealed that he is willing to leave the Welsh club after just one season there.
"There are good characteristics we have discovered with him and I hope he stays," Guidolin said to the Echo.
Swans boss Francesco Guidolin is determined to keep hold of the winger after he netted 12 times last season, but West Ham are also interested in luring him away from the Liberty Stadium.
Guidolin labelled the Ghanaian international as a "big player" and an "important" one for his side, who thrived with Ayew in the side last season.
Winger has big aspirations
Ayew still has three years remaining on his contract and it is believed that Swansea would cash in on the winger if they are offered a sum around the £15million mark.
There is interest by other clubs around Europe for the former Marseille man, and in a recent interview on French television, he stated that he still has aspirations to play Champions League football.
"Of course, every player wants to play for the Champions League or the title. A time will come when I'll aim for these," Ayew said.
The winger stated that he wouldn't "talk a lot" about what he managed to achieve with the Swans this season, but he did mention that club are after his signature.

The purpose of this blog is to promote civil discourse on issues of concern in the Niagara region.
July 9, 2007
Dumping millions of dollars into an antiquated facility that would require millions more in taxpayer monies to update was never a good idea. I am a firm believer that the public sector should never compete with the private sector. If there are businesses out there that can do the job more effectively and efficiently than the public sector, which is almost always the case, the private sector should prevail.
This position has nothing to do with the employees or the care at the facility. Besides the rampant sex parties that are alleged to have occurred quite frequently, I have heard primarily good things about the care to patients.
What does boggle my mind is the position of the Minority Caucus. Dennis Virtuoso, the current Minority Leader, has been extremely vocal about Mount View. Every time I watch legislature meetings or LCTV or read the papers, there is Dennis crying like a little girl about Mount View.
What Dennis doesn't acknowledge is that in 2003, while he was in the Majority, the Legislature was given multiple presentations by then Administrator Ed Marchi about renovating Mount View. That's right, the ball was absolutely in Dennis's court when it came to determining the future of Mount View.
What did he do? Absolutely nothing. His failure to act in 2003, when he was in a position to invest millions into Mount View has put Mount View in the position it's in now. Not the Berger Commission, not Greg Lewis, but Dennis Virtuoso.
I do wish the employees good luck in their respective futures. No one deserves to have this game played with their livelihoods. I am confident that the patients will be fine, there are many facilities within 50 miles that can accommodate them. And Edwina Luscksh, well Edwina must be the happiest person in Niagara County with the news that Niagara County can now proceed with the closure of Mount View.
After all, it's Edwina who attends every Legislature meeting, calls LCTV, calls WLVL every opportunity she gets to say that Niagara County has way too many employees. Congratulations, Edwina, you just got your wish with the prospective layoffs of 200 county employees.

Leave it to the private industry to do things like run health care facilities. It's insane to think that running a health care facility is part of the government's domain.
FREEDOM: Freedom is the ability to do as one pleases. The government is here to ensure freedom for all its citizens. The moment the government gets involved in health care facilities, or even a national health care system, freedom is lost for the people.
Here's a perfect example: If the US creates a national health care system because 'everyone needs and deserves health insurance coverage and SOOO many people are without it, a true travesty', then freedom is instantly lost for everyone who does not want to be part of the system. People who do not want to pay into the system, must pay, regardless of their own desires. This is a huge problem with many unions in NYS (eg. teachers unions): employees are forced to be members and have their views represented regardless of their desire. That doesn't sound very fair nor like freedom.
In this situation, people were forced into paying for a health care facility that most people would never use, simply because the government "said so": This doesn't seem like freedom to me and isn't.
It is not a coincidence that the US is the 'land of the free' and that the government is the least involved in the lives of its citizens. This was a great step away from the natural socialistic tendencies of organized government, back towards keeping the US the 'land of the free'.

I disagree 100%. I don't believe that there is a limit on what you can spend to care for our elderly. This is why facilities like Mt View must exist, people must always have an option.
- Monday, 09 July, 2007
But crystal, when does it end? If it's not the elderly, it's some other group. Government is obligated to pay for our "core" services.
Even that is a fine line, because the only service mandated by law in terms of public safety is the jail. Road patrols are a "luxury".
So when does it end? There is not a cut to be made that will not piss off somebody. We need relief. I'm sorry 200 people are losing their jobs, but if my tax bills go higher, I may lose my house, and that is what I'm looking out for.

Everyone always says reduce government and let the private sector do it more efficiently until whatever the "it" is becomes a proposal. Then the special interests start scaring the hell out of people and nothing gets done.
Let's be honest. Take away all perks from legislators. Take away cell phones from all county employees. Same thing for vehicles. You know what...it doesn't amount to any significant savings that will reduce taxes.
It might be symbolic. It might be the right thing to do...but I'm tired of people thinking the road to lower taxes is an easy ride.
You want lower taxes then some sacred cows have to go.

They have been talking about closing mount view since i was a little boy so it shouldnt be a surprise to anyone. I blame Ed Mcdonald for the closing. Mount view could have been sold, but he filed suit halting the sale till the Berger finally ordered it closed. Way to go Ed. You just cost us millions. Maybe the employees at Mount view should have taken a couple of cuts to help save their jobs when they had the chance. Instead they cried saying how much they cared about the patients. What a laugh. I know several aids that worked there and i thank god i dont have any family at that facility. Lets just say that i did feel sorry for the workers till i seen how they acted, and how the patients got treated. Closing that facility is the best thing that could have happened to yhis county.

PodCastle 200: In The Stacks
by Scott Lynch
Read by…well, A LOT of cool people! How about a full cast list?
Norm Sherman as the Narrator
Peter Wood as Lazlo
Dave Thompson as Casimir
Wilson Fowlie as Master Molnar
M.K. Hobson as Astriza
Graeme Dunlop as Lev Bronzeclaw
Anna Schwind as Yvette
Ann Leckie, Alasdair Stuart, Talia, Occicat, and Marshal Latham as the Librarians, Indexers, and Vocubavores
and Rachel Swirsky as the Head Vocabuvore
Originally Published in Swords and Dark Magic: The New Sword and Sorcery,
On the clock outside the gate to the Manticore Wing of the library, the little blue flame was just floating past the symbol for high noon when Laszlo and Casimir skidded to a halt before a single tall figure.
"I see you two aspirants have chosen to favor us with a dramatic last-minute arrival," said the man. "I was not aware this was to be a drama exam."
"Yes, Master Molnar. Apologies, Master Molnar," said Laszlo and Casimir in unison.
Hargus Molnar, Master Librarian, had a face that would have been at home in a gallery of military statues, among dead conquerors casting their permanent scowls down across the centuries. Lean and sinewy, with close-cropped gray hair and a dozen visible scars, he wore a use-seasoned suit of black leather and silvery mail. Etched on his cuirass was a stylized scroll, symbol of the Living Library, surmounted by the phrase Auvidestes, Gerani, Molokare. The words were Alaurin, the formal language of scholars, and they formed the motto of the Librarians:
Rated R: Contains violence, some language, and the coolest, most dangerous library ever!
Thank you, listeners, for an amazing two hundred episodes!

Something Wicked This Way Scuttles
Actually, before all that, what was that about insects?
After promising some manner of insectery, which in itself is a monstrous and unwieldly neologism (1), I appear to have failed to deliver. The thronging hordes in their millions of species have been conspicuously absent. Even the affectation "the insect man" is currently unsubstantiated.(2) Why, then, "theinsectman"?(6)
Insects and their invertebrate kin have an uneasy relationship with fantasy fiction. However, just as there are few environments in the physical world not yet conquered by the many-legged throng, so it is in literature. Tolkien himself peopled the Hobbit with surprisingly loquacious spiders, and of course he graduates to the glories of Shelob in his longer work. Once that door was open the way was clear for the arthropods to cut their evolutionary niches in the genre, eking out their lives in the peripheries of fantasy: Here there would be an insect enemy, an unnumbered horde of ravaging, mindless monsters to be destroyed without mercy. There we would find a sister of Shelob to trouble the likes of Conan, and invariably come to an unpleasant end.(7). Here, more gently, something more allegorical, such as the moths used by the killer in Harris' Silence of the Lambs. (8)
Which isn't quite what I'm doing with them. I'm giving them a new niche to evolve into. It's plain enough, and old Tolkien sets the standard, that insects aren't exactly our favourite part of creation. Tolkien's spiders show only his utter loathing of the breed, although he at least has the grace to allow the possibility that poor, hungry Shelob licks her wounds and resurfaces somewhere in the great bathtub of the Fourth Age. Elsewhere, insects are simply an easy way to have waves of bad guys that nobody cares about if you squish them, like the cop-out battle droids in The Phantom Menace.
I have always been fond of insects. I'm the go-to man to peaceably remove spiders or shepherd flies out of a window. It helps being in England, where being fond of insects is unlikely to get me fatally killed at any point. I sit in the cinema and cheer on the bugs in Starship Troopers, booing the wicked, expansionistic humans (9). It's not clear what went wrong, really, with insects. In earlier ages of the world, and in other places, they have plenty of good press. Achilles' picked men were called Myrmidons because of an admiration for the ants' discipline, and you can find deified mantids and beetles in old Egypt and Africa. In the west, though, the entire breed is viewed with horror and even the word "bug" appears to derive from something frightening (as in "bugbear").
So, what am I doing with the wretched creatures that's so different? Am I doing a Brian Jacques and writing some kind of insect Redwall? No, I am not. Empire in Black and Gold is a heroic fantasy played out between human protagonists that are as real as I can make them. But insects, yes. Just as a Native American tradition (I think) has it that the world is built on ants, because wherever you dig, there they are, so my book is built on insects and their kin.
And speaking of books, I was going to write about submissions again. More insects later.
After all, there are always more insects.
(1): Stephen Fry has coined (or at least I assume he coined it. With someone like Mr Fry such authority is a natural assumption) a rather pleasant phrase, namely "youtubery", referring to some piece of embarrassment, preferably involving a celebrity, caught on camera and subsequently distributed for the world to see. In this case it was, I think, Julie Andrews stepping someone out of brief as she encouraged a crowd of sports fans. (Sports? Some American sport. Baseball. Possibly that football thing that looks like armoured rugby. I don't know). I suppose in an earlier age before that internet prodigy was matriculated he would have had to say "You've-been-framedness" or even "Allright-on-the-Nightation", neither of which are remotely as easy on the ear.
(2): Of course the man who should be blogging under this name is Jean-Henri Fabre, the French Entomologist and writer, who managed in himself an unequalled marriage of prose style and scientific understanding. If he applied to me, in person, of course, I would without hesitation yield the name to him.(3)
(3): I'd also run like hell as he's been dead the best part of a century.(4)
(4): Although he makes a kind of return in inexplicable and bizarre circumstances as a villain in the encouragingly-titled anime series "Read or Die".(5)
(5): Four footnotes eh? Eat your heart out, Mr Pratchett.
(6): Not just because "thatinsectguy" is too informal.
(7): I can't actually place the provenance of this but I recall reading, a long time ago, a Conan (-esque?) comic where the musclebound hero faces an enormous spider that is being sacrificed to and worshipped by some degenerate locals. The name of this arachnid divinity? "The Decapitating God". The what? This, one assumes, from that school of fantasy art prone to give spiders and their cousins human faces from either laziness or ignorance of natural history. Spiders have two hollow fangs for injecting poison. Decapitating with what? Did it carry a huge pair of scissors?
(8): What's that? Not fantasy fiction? You mean all that could actually happen? Based on a true story, was it? Ah well, no doubt I'll get onto the subject of genre boundaries some other time.
(9): To the director's credit a valid reading of the film, for all Caspar Van Diem's Aryan poster-boy posturing. (10)
(10): Footnotes are addictive. I can see I'll have to rein myself in.
