Mad mad skills!! Excellent job!ReplyDelete
I suppose I shouldn't mention I recently learned a friend has 3 old cast iron sinks... Don't know what they look like yet. If one was good, we would meet you half way... Say maybe Fredericksburg VA.
I'm cruel. Lol!!
No doubt about it . . . miracle guy . . .ReplyDelete
Happy it worked . . .
Looks wonderful . . .
Get a good nights sleep!
Oh my word, this sounds like so many projects we start. So glad you did cut it. It looks amazing and so does the new sink and faucet.ReplyDelete
Looks great! My whole house is a never ending project....ba dum bum!ReplyDelete
Smooth job! I would have expected no less though. Kim, I wanted a white porcelain sink something terrible. No use, ended up with a stainless one, on sale at Costco but much better than the previous one. But someday, if this sink wears out before I do, I want one.ReplyDelete
Our never-ending project is replacing the kitchen floor--because we just haven't started it. Even though 7 boxes of flooring have been sitting under my dining table for over 6 months now. One of these days...Replies
Oh Dewena, floors are a really big job. I can imagine that's a daunting one to start. Perhaps in the fall when it's cooler...I'll be on the lookout! Thanks so much for the sweet comment and so glad to see you pop up in the comments. You have been missed! 😊Delete
It looks great. Sometimes we have run into a problem like that. You think that remodeling is easy, but than the project takes a turn. You are right, never ending.ReplyDelete
It looks great! That was a very clever fix! Happy Graduation!ReplyDelete
It looks great! We are doing something similar. My hubby added board and batten to our dining room wall, and has been adding new trim to all our dining room and kitchen windows. He put subway tile up in the kitchen and just finished trimming out the window behind the sink. It really is never ending sometimes!ReplyDelete
we bought a new dishwasher the old one sucks and the new guy still in box sitting in the livingroom for 5 monthsReplyDelete
I am so impressed!ReplyDelete
Great job
Looks great Kim! However, the graduation of your darling daughter has been so sweet and endearing!ReplyDelete
Happy Summer!
Like AnnMarie said, our entire house is a never-ending story. And there's always an uh oh, a hitch, a glitch, a stumbling block, a screw up....always a something that throws us off stride so we have to stop and ponder, ruminate, generate ideas until we can figure out how to make it work or work around it.ReplyDelete
DIY-ing has definitely bumped up our ability to think outside the box by about a hundredfold, lol!Replies
I have to agree, 100% Kim! The DIY troubleshooting has been more educational than any class I have ever taken...neither high school, undergraduate, nor graduate work were nearly as challenging or encouraged creative thinking as much as all these oops, uh ohs and hitches you mentioned.Delete
That was a very good save and a great job by your hubby! The new sink and faucet are beautiful.ReplyDelete
and he has the patience of Job to go along with his mad skills!ReplyDelete
but secretly? I think he probably gets a kick out of such a job well done too.
you could have your very own 'flip this house' show! just a thought. but you do love it! xoxo
Happy graduation! The window still looks great. What a project and you both worked great together! So glad it all worked out for your beautiful kitchen.ReplyDelete
You never cease to amaze me with all your talents and creativity Kim! Where there is a will, there is usually a way, and I read with interest how you made this happen, I'm so glad that it all worked out for you in the end! Your sink is gorgeous!!!! I know you are enjoying it immensely :) It's been a very busy summer here too, but a great one. Loving the sunshine and the outdoors. Blessings and hugs :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Marilyn, you are so nice!! I think this is just what happens when two very stubborn people get their minds made up about a project. Like you said, where there's a will, there's a way!! I hope you are enjoying your busy summer and the sunshine in your lovely garden!! Blessings and hugs back to you sweet friend.Delete
He absolutely has mad skills, and I bet he loves that we all think so too ;). Gotta love these guys of ours. They probably love that we have blogs and brag on them. LolReplyDelete
And I guess our never ending project is the freakin whole house!,
Oh Kim, you both rolled over 5:50 am back to work .. I just love how you write .. I just love the friendship you have with your husband.ReplyDelete
The girls .... I bet they think they have two CrAzY parents, or did they already know that.
P.S. I am glad you like the chair. It truly is so comfortable. :-) I am happy it worked for us.Replies
Carla, you always make me smile from ear to ear. Your comments about my writing go straight to my heart! Thank you sweet friend...and yes...they totally think we're crazy. "Another project...really?" Someday they'll get it...I hope!! Enjoy the weekend!!Delete
Professional finish in the work! Looks good!ReplyDelete
He did a really good job on that. What a tedious, hard job to keep that straight with a hand saw! Wow. THe new faucet looks beautiful. Great job all the way around. xo DianaReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 26, 2018 at 6:09 PM
Kim- you and your husband should flip houses. You have incredible inspired and your husband has the skills!ReplyDelete
Hah! It never ends does it! I didn't even think of something like this as a problem.ReplyDelete
Well, it looks beautiful now! Who would ever guess it could be such a problem? Seems like he could add trim on the edge to hide imperfections, but what do I know, LOL? Thank goodness for the hubbies who can do anything, right?ReplyDelete
I wish you would have given a FULL picture of the finished project.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Christi, thanks so much for taking a peek at my project. If you'd like to see the entire sink project you can check out these three links to see the project soup to nuts...and you can see the full windowsill there as well! Hope that helps!Delete

Great idea! All our window sills stick out like that! And one of the sills, I have been fussing about, has puppy chew marks in it! Just one question tho...as my husband has Parkinsons Disease and nothing would be cut straight (lol), would you mind sending your husband to do mine? lol He might enjoy our west coast weather. Just teasing, we have a top notch handy man that takes good care of us! Happy 4th of July!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh Terri, we were just talking about the trading our wintery weather for some west coast sunshine with some west coast friends. It sounds like a lovely offer...and who knows, maybe somedays we just might be neighbors and I could send him on over! I hope you have a lovely July 4th, as well...and puppy chew marks? Too cute!!Delete
Mad skills indeed! :)ReplyDelete
My never ending summer project is simpler...weeds and shedding dogs :)
Oh wow! That really is mad skills! What a perfect job! I never would have thought about the windowsill being in the way. We had a "space" issue once too when we bought a new wall light fixture for the hallway. What I failed to realize was that the attic door opened from the ceiling right above where the light fixture was. The fixture stuck out quite a bit from the wall and the attic door barely, and I mean barely opens with about a sliver of space between the two! Whew!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's so funny, isn't it, how things you see and use every day can suddenly become an unanticipated issue. Like your attic door, I never even thought about the sill until...thank goodness he was able to make it work! Glad your light fixture works, too!!Delete
Kim, where there is a will there is a way. So the old saying goes and you and hubby made it look easy. It looks like it was always that way. You two did a good job. Someday I will tell you about my encounter with a toilet and a shower door..Happy Thursday..xxoJudyReplyDelete
Hey~ before you go, let me know what you think! I love comments and respond to them all. Thanks so much for visiting! *Please refer to our privacy policy if you have questions regarding your profile.

Understanding The Implications Of iPhone X Supply Constraints
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone suppliers may have to wait a little bit longer than expected to ride the iPhone X tailwinds. KeyBanc analyst John Vinh expects most iPhone supplier stocks to remain range-bound while Apple works past temporary iPhone supply constraints.
According to Vinh, these constraints make it unlikely that suppliers will exceed near-term estimates, and true demand for the iPhone X will be difficult to measure for the time being.
"As we recently noted following our recent trip to Asia, we believe supply constraints associated with the 3D sensing 'transmit' module are likely to put an expectation for sales of 40M iPhone X units in 2H17 at risk," Vinh wrote Sunday.
Vihn noted that these supply constraints could persist into the first quarter of 2018. While fourth-quarter guidance numbers for iPhone suppliers may be ok for now, iPhone suppliers may dial back market expectations for Q1 2018.
Channel checks with iPhone carriers indicate iPhone 8 supply is lean, but iPhone 7 demand has also been troublingly high. The reportedly higher-than-expected iPhone 7 demand could cannibalize iPhone 8 sales and weigh on Apple's average sales price and margins. Vihn said this trend is "modestly worrisome."
For now, he says traders should expect iPhone supplier stocks to mostly remain range-bound while the market pieces together the iPhone X supply situation and ultimately the market demand for the device.
KeyBanc maintains the following ratings and price targets for major suppliers:
- Broadcom Ltd (NASDAQ: AVGO): Overweight, $290 target.
- Cirrus Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRUS): Overweight, $70 target.
- Skyworks Solutions Inc (NASDAQ: SWKS): Overweight, $120 target.
- Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ: QRVO): Sector Perform, no target.
- Synaptics, Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNA): Sector Perform, no target.

Increasing competition has taken some of their holdings. Note Anyone who feels that a traders something beyond their control you could switch to a less than ideal type of business shall be adjusted accordingly at the same time focusing on cash flow and can be reinvested in the industry for his help they have needs. To this end they must put all these objectives and then create specific step by step action plan to achieve each goal. These owners of the companys marketing of specialty with the marketing of existing products into new niche markets and started to diversify into other areas of new divisions the originals were related niche.

I'm trying to set up a contribution webform with paypal. I've created a payment processor using paypal express, with sandbox details, and assigned it to a contribution page. I can make a test contribution through the contribution page and it works well. I created a webform using webform_civicrm referencing that contribution page and then tried making a test donation that way. The paypal button does not appear, and if I click "submit query" (which appears instead of the paypal button), it sends a GET request to this url:
resulting in BAD_INPUT_ERROR.
I think the non-appearance of the paypal button is a red herring; the url_button parameter is not passed but if I hack the button url into the code, it does appear, but the same thing happens when I click it.
The reason I need to use a webform rather than a contribution page is that I need an activity of a custom type to be created when the contribution is made, with custom fields that the user will fill in when they make the contribution.
There are no console errors Nothing in watchdog or Civi logs except in regard to the missing 'url_button' index. The webform is set up very simply, I just set the contribution page and payment processor. Not sure what else to say in that regard.
To be clear: "BAD_INPUT_ERROR" is a Paypal error code, it comes from them. I've looked for API docs to see what might be wrong with the above GET request but have not found any relevant docs. When I make the donation using the contribution page, it does not make the same GET request, but a different one, using a token, which succeeds.

In the classroom - as in life generally - technology giveth, and technology taketh away. This year, make sure your school is getting the very best out of edtech, while minimizing the downside.
With educators under growing pressure to integrate connected technology in the classroom - and students increasingly online at school, at home and everywhere in between - maintaining digital safety and wellbeing has emerged as an urgent priority for schools.
A perfect storm
The mobile explosion has added fuel to an already-blazing fire. The average American student now acquires a smartphone by age 10, and virtually all bring their personal smartphones to school.
Because the vast majority of these devices have their own data, they become major "escape routes" for students seeking to bypass school filtering. For the same reason, they are also widely used for hotspotting to other devices.
It's a perfect storm for risk - to students' safety and wellbeing, and to the school's ability to maintain duty of care.
Our community approach
And it's not just a classroom problem - it's a community problem. Tackling it requires a community response.
That's exactly what Family Zone's unique ecosystem approach is all about.
Our solution encourages collaboration between parents and schools to view, monitor and manage student access to online environments in any setting, on any network, and across all devices.
The aim? To establish healthy routines to support positive behaviour for learning.
Protecting students in the classroom is critical. But protecting them in their own family rooms and bedrooms at home is too.
And that challenge demands parent education - and parent empowerment - to ensure sensible, sustainable boundaries and open communication.
Customisable, compliant, collaborative
Keeping children under digital lock-and-key is no longer a winning strategy, or even a feasible one. Hence our commitment to a learning-led approach that integrates world-leading technology with ongoing educational enrichment right across the school community.
At the same time, we understand that every school faces unique challenges. We take the time to understand exactly what it is that you want to achieve as a school, then work carefully with you to tackle those challenges.
Our School Relationship Team will work closely with you to ensure our solutions help you achieve your own targets in a way that works in your school culture.
People plus technology
Put it all together and you have Family Zone's Partner School Program: a holistic solution that delivers a powerful bundle of technology and access to an amazing team of people.
Partner Schools get the advantage of Family Zone's full suite of technology ‐ School Zone, Mobile Zone and School Community Platform ‐ plus exclusive access to our School Relationship Team and Cyber Experts.
It's a unique synthesis of world‐leading software with unparalleled expertise and educational support. And it's your best guarantee of a digital safety solution that meets the needs of your school community.
Why become a Partner School?
Benefits to Partner Schools include:
✓ Visibility of student internet activity
Traditional filtering/firewalling solutions don't provide data about students' online behaviour to admins, teaching or pastoral care staff. School Community Platform solves that problem, with easy access and remarkable visibility of student activity online.
✓ Classroom internet management
Family Zone Classroom empowers teachers to view and manage student internet activity, right in their own classrooms, as it happens.
✓ Managing VPNs in school
Students may be using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to bypass network filtering, putting the school's duty of care at risk. Family Zone's machine-learning technology is a world-leader at detecting and filtering VPNs.
✓ Maintaining compliance
Teachers can't be everywhere. Family Zone can - to block risky and inappropriate content to enforce CIPA requirements on all devices, school-owned and otherwise, on campus on on the go.
✓ Managing hotspotting
Despite existing rules, students may be using their phones as hotspots, thereby avoiding the school's current filtering and reporting systems. With Mobile Zone, the school can manage personal smartphones during school hours to put an end to hotspotting for good.
✓ Mitigating cyberbullying
When students manage to access social media throughout the school day, cyberbullying incidents increase. Family Zone's holistic solution prevents "leakage" - and makes firm social media filtering possible.
✓ Managing personal smartphones
Rules around phones are notoriously hard to enforce. Mobile Zone empowers the school to manage student mobile devices during school hours, and gives parents the option to do so at other times.
✓ Supporting digital citizenship and wellbeing
Sustainable protection for student users needs to go beyond monitoring and filtering. Family Zone's education-rich solution focuses on developing understanding and responsibility in young users, and creating open dialogue between teachers, parents and students.
Family Zone's Partner School Program. Your best-in-class solution for student internet management that puts education at the center.

"Feds seek Champlain cleanup cuts; state pushes back: EPA chief, Vermonters at odds over who pays $2B price tag" – The Addison Independent
I'm very proud to have co-authored this article about the future of the Lake Champlain cleanup project under the Pruitt-led EPA and the Trump Administration. I focused on the future of the project from a federal level and spoke with folks from the EPA and Vt. Sen. Patrick Leahy's office.
As I wrote in the article, Leahy, as the Senate's longest service member and the vice-chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, is in a great position to save the project. The Lake Champlain project is just one of a number of projects that Administrator Pruitt has proposed cutting.

5 things you need to know Wednesday
Funeral for family members killed in Texas shooting
Funeral services will be held Wednesday for eight family members killed in the mass shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Among the 25 victims of the Nov. 5 attack were associate pastor Bryan Holcombe and his wife, Karla; their son Marc Daniel Holcombe and his 1-year-old daughter, Noah; their pregnant daughter-in-law, Crystal Holcombe; and three grandchildren, Emily Hill, Greg Hill and Megan Hill. Crystal Holcombe's husband, John Holcombe, and two of her children survived. In a Facebook post, the Franklin Funeral Home also listed "Carlin Brite Holcomb" — the name John Holcombe and the surviving family members chose for Crystal's unborn child.
Puerto Rico to get half of power grid back online
Half of Puerto Rico's power grid will be back up Wednesday, a consequential milestone for the U.S. territory decimated by back-to-back Hurricanes Irma and Maria roughly two months ago. While it could be months before power is completely restored to the island, lawmakers are pushing to rebuild a grid better capable of handling extreme weather. Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló told senators the island wants to increase dependence on renewable sources and develop a system of microgrids. Other vital systems are slowly returning to the island, too, Rosselló said. Water systems are now 90% back, telecommunication systems are 75% restored, and roads, supermarkets and hospitals are all re-opening.
Political turmoil escalates in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's military detained President Robert Mugabe and his wife Wednesday, although the army denied reports of a coup after taking over the state broadcaster.Mugabe, 93, one of the longest ruling leaders in the world, came to power in 1980 during the country's war of liberation against white-run former British colony Rhodesia. Last week, he sacked Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former defense minister with strong ties to the military, replacing him with Mugabe's wife Grace, 52.
Da Vinci's 'male Mona Lisa' up for auction
Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi, his haunting, 500-year-old portrait of Jesus Christ, can be yours Wednesday — but bring your checkbook. The painting, said to be the only one of da Vinci's 20 known works in private hands, is expected to fetch well over $100 million when it goes up for auction at Christie's in New York. Da Vinci's Mona Lisa might be more famous, but Mundi boasts a greater radiance, having been recently cleaned. "This is the holy grail of Old Master paintings, some people call it the male Mona Lisa," says Christie's expert Francois de Poortere.
SpaceX plans mystery launch as holiday rocket season kicks off
SpaceX is taking to the skies yet again on Wednesday night. Elon Musk's rocket company is planning to take a mystery payload for the U.S. government into orbit.While not the first government mission, details on what exactly is being launched remain a mystery. Aerospace and defense company Northrop Grumman, which is working with the government, revealed only that the mission was for the "U.S. government." The launch is set to be the kickoff for the Space Coast's holiday season, with at least one more Eastern Range mission on the books, as well as a planned demonstration of SpaceX's highly anticipated Falcon Heavy rocket expected before the end of the year.

Saving Lives
At Sea
'Saving Lives at Sea' is a popular series on BBC2 that documents the lifesaving work of the RNLI, with real stories of rescues. To spread the word and encourage those who had seen proof of the RNLI's work to engage more actively with the charity, the RNLI asked bbd to implement a campaign that would support the series. The main challenge was that assets belonged to the BBC and messaging could not suggest any partnership.
bbd designed a suite of printed brochures, videos, posters and social assets to coincide with the BBC series. These encouraged viewers to find out more about the work of the RNLI, submit their contact details, and possibly explore the option of volunteering, fundraising, or otherwise engaging with the charity.

Malcolm Turnbull has pledged Australia's ongoing support for Afghanistan and signed a $320 million development agreement, during an historic visit by President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani.
Dr Ghani was greeted in Canberra on Monday night by thousands of Hazara protesters, many of whom travelled from interstate, who demanded the two countries revisit a 2011 deal to send failed Afghan asylum seekers back.
However Mr Turnbull turned on a warmer welcome saying Australia would remain focused on helping Afghanistan in its efforts to become more prosperous, secure and self-reliant.
The pair signed a memorandum of understanding for the Afghanistan-Australia development partnership worth $320 million over four years to 2020.
The two countries will co-operate on infrastructure, education and employment of women and girls, agriculture and water management, training of Afghan civil servants and anti-corruption initiatives.
Also, Geoscience Australia will work with the Afghan mines ministry to improve the management of energy, mineral and water resources.
The leaders also discussed the security situation in Afghanistan.
Australia has lost 41 troops there since the US-led operation in 2001.
The current Operation Highroad involves about 270 Australian Defence Force personnel involved in training, logistics, administration and special forces duties.
Dr Ghani laid a wreath at the Australian War Memorial before he met with Mr Turnbull.
The protesters are urging the Turnbull government to refuse deals to send asylum seekers and refugees to Afghanistan.
Barat Ali Batoor, a young Hazara photographer driven from Afghanistan by civil war, said security in the country had deteriorated.
"Afghanistan is extremely dangerous for the Hazaras if they are forced or voluntarily deported to Afghanistan," he told AAP on Monday.
Mr Batoor said one Hazara man was deported from Adelaide to Afghanistan last week.
"There is an extremely high risk of being targeted there," he said.
The protesters also want assurances Hazaras are kept safe in Afghanistan, saying the community has been subjected to systemic discrimination, genocide and ethnic cleansing.
"Hazaras have been systematically discriminated against for a very long period and during President Ghani's (time in power) it has spread widely," Mr Batoor said.
"Peaceful rallies there have been hit by suicide and targeted attacks."
Inside Government House, Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove and Dr Ghani inspected Australia's military guard before stepping inside for formal discussions.
The pair exchanged pleasantries about Canberra's dreary weather and the last time they met before their topic of conversation took a personal turn.
"You look good," Dr Ghani told the governor-general as the pair took their seats.
"Since last time I saw you, I've probably taken off quite a bit of weight," Sir Peter replied.
"How much?" the president asked.
"About 22kg ... I just did it deliberately because I wanted to be energetic in this job," Sir Peter said.
Dr Ghani's four-day visit to Australia - the first by an Afghan president - will wrap up on Wednesday.


text: Favorite Loads: Hot off the Press .40 Smith & Wesson Layne Simpson - January 04, 2011 I don't participate in USPSA/IPSC competition anymore, but back when I did, I managed to stumble along and miss fast enough to become a master-class shooter. My first love was Open-class shooting where I used a red-dot-sighted race gun that held almost enough .38 Super cartridges to shoot an entire match without reloading. I eventually got around to shooting Limited class as well, and it did not take long for me to see that the additional capacity of .40 S&W guns being used by others allowed them to get off more shots between reloads, and that gave them an advantage over me and my .45 ACP. So I switched to a high-capacity gun in .40 S&W that could be loaded on Friday and shot all weekend.In those days, I averaged shooting at least 500 rounds of .40 S&W ammo each week in practice and churned out all that ammo with a Dillon 1050 progressive. I shot cast rather than jacketed bullets for three reasons: they were less expensive, they were just as accurate--often more accurate--and they extended barrel life. The bullets I shot were from Bull-X, and they had a black coating that helped to eliminate bore leading and greatly reduced the amount of smoke at the muzzle. Sad to say, the company is no longer in business, but a web search should turn up companies offering .40-caliber lead bullets.Another option for those who are not into high-volume shooting is to cast your own using molds from Lyman, RCBS, Lee, and Redding. Bullets cast as soft as wheelweights work great for low-velocity plinking loads, but alloys with a Brinell hardness of 12 or higher are required to reduce bore-leading at top velocities. Lyman's No. 2 recipe consisting of lead/tin/antimony percentages of 90/5/5 is an excellent choice for all-around use, but if bore leading is still a problem, an increase in antimony to 6 percent should make life easier.

Five more books about writing
1. How to Write Tales of Horror, Fantasy and Science Fiction
edited by J. N. Williamson
This is a collection of over 20 essays by different writers. Ray Bradbury, writing in his unique, evocative style, tells how he used lists of nouns to spark his imagination and come up with stories like "A Sound of Thunder". William Nolan provides examples of opening lines which don't just hook the reader – they reel him in to be scaled and filleted. The historical model for Conan the Barbarian, how to make suspense as tense as action, the background of a fantasy series inspired by the ancient Middle East… they're all here.
The only difficulty with obtaining this book is that it was published in 1987 and is out of print, but I found it at two local libraries.
2. How to Write Best Selling Fiction
by Dean Koontz
This book was published in 1981, when Dean Koontz was still writing taut, good horror like Midnight and Whispers. I'd recommend it to new writers because there's a lot of basic advice, but it's also got excellent examples of some of the techniques and tactics Koontz used at that time to build suspense and flesh out backgrounds. There's also the story of how he produced a set of intriguing titles from the single word dragon. I never get tired of reading that one.
I also like the simple, entertaining description of the business of selling books, even though this is a short section towards the end. Until I read this book, I didn't realize that stores could return unsold books to publishers for full refunds.
Unfortunately, this book is out of print. Another caveat is that Koontz tries – with the best of intentions – to stress the importance and potential of mainstream fiction over genre fiction. If you're a genre writer, you might not agree with this, and given the popularity of some genres these days, it may not apply.
3. The First Five Pages
by Noah Lukeman
I thought this book would be about how to polish the first five pages of a manuscript, but Lukeman knows that there's not much point in a manuscript that starts like a rocket and ends like a squib. As a result, this book covers hooks but also deals with mistakes in dialogue, pacing, focus and so on. I especially like the section at the start about the different sounds produced by alliteration, resonance and even punctuation marks. The tiniest, unnoticed details can make quite a difference.
The only thing that didn't work for me is that some of the examples seem… basic, for lack of a better word. Most writers can tell that when John says hello, Mary and Mary says hello, John and John says how are you, Mary? and Mary says very well, thank you, John, and yourself?, this is poor dialogue. I'd have liked to see more subtle mistakes.
4. The Writer's Complete Fantasy Reference
from the editors of Writer's Digest books
This is a collection of information (mostly anthropological and historical) which will probably be helpful to new writers of fantasy. I like the diagram of a medieval castle and all the different types of weapons, though this is by no means an exhaustive list and I've learned almost as much from Wikipedia. The section on magic is extremely detailed, and lists about thirty different ways to predict the future. The usual fantasy races get basic descriptions, but this does not go into biological or cultural depth.
As a reference book, this deals mostly with worldbuilding, and specifically with the normal, historically accurate type of worldbuilding that's likely to be found in traditional, heroic and epic fantasy. Then again, the scope of fantasy is almost unlimited these days.
5. The Art of Fiction
by Ayn Rand
While I enjoyed most of this book, it's not for everyone. I would recommend it to writers who like Ayn Rand's novels and who are experienced enough to recognize which parts of the book won't work for them.
The best section for me was the one where Rand rewrites a pivotal scene in The Fountainhead with slightly altered dialogue for a character – dialogue that says the same thing in principle but has a completely different tone and which made the character different as well. I like it when writers illustrate their points like this. There is also advice on plot and character that I found helpful.
Where the book falters is in its discussions of style, especially Rand's advice to writers never to use four-letter words or brand names (two words: Stephen King). That's one reason I wouldn't recommend it to new writers.

I love Noah Lukeman's book. Granted, some of his basics are, well, basic.
However, since I sometimes do workshops for high school or middle school students, the basics work fine. I often recommend his book to high schoolers as well as any others who want to write for publication.
Plus, it's a good reminder of the basics for more experienced writers, too.

Hi Becky,
Good point - the examples would work well for students. I forgot about that. A book cannot be All Things to All Writers. :)

Hi Marian,
I enjoyed your book reviews. Too bad Koontz's is out of date. I loved his older novels. House of Thunder, Midnight, Lightning....

Here are FAQs. We hope these would help you.
Answers do not correspond to all globes.
Why are globes tilted ?
Many globes are made to tilt at an angle of 23 degrees to match the actual tilt of the Earth. Incidentally, it is this tilting of the Earth, relative to the sun as it orbits around it, that causes the seasons to change and give us more daylight hours at certain times of the year.
How can I do if the name or the boundaries of countries would change after I bought the globe?
There is a special service called "Refresh Program (charged)" in regard to the globes of Replogle Globes Japan.
Check use guide inside the globe's package about details.
The map has been updated at cycles of roughly one-two years. Therefore, you may say that it can always buy the globe of the latest version when you buy the globe.
In addition, because the globe bought by using refreshing service can be renewed to the always latest globe, it is possible to buy it at ease.
Can you wrap the globe as a gift ?
We wrap the globe with ribbon and wrapping paper for nothing.
Whole wrapping with the long ribbon(charged), greeting card(free) are also available. Click here for sample. You can choose them in the order sheet.
Is it possible to put the memorial plate on the base ?
We make metallic plate with the character carved on it. This service is charged. Click here for sample. It needs 7 to 10 days to make it. Please ask us when you order for details.
I'm worried about gap of the map of hand-crafted or press-crafted globes...
The globes except for those illuminated have a map printed on the paper and in the processes it's changed to a spherical shape. Next, the raised relief is done. However, the height of the mountains differs in each point, so the degree of the paper pulled also differs in each part. Today's technology can not completely solve this problem.
In manufacturing section, they are trying to reduce this gap. Of course in the inspection the one with flagrant gap is removed, but actually it's impossible to make the one with no gap. Sorry but understand it please.
*The illuminated globes are made of plastic(not sticked on) and there is no gap. If you would mind the gap, we recommend you to buy the illuminated globe.
How up-to-date is the globe ?
Most globes are made within a year. You could use the globe without anxiety. The map has been updated at cycles of roughly one-two years. Therefore, you may say that it can always buy the globe of the latest version when you buy the globe.
What is the difference between the political map globes and physical map globes ?
political map is a map with contrasting and colorful boundaries.
physical map is a map with true-to-life color, as the ocean in blue, forest in green, and desert or ice in its natural color. National boundaries are shown in red lines.
Where in the illuminated globe can I find the lamp ?
The lamp is inside the globe ball. It corresponds to the domestic outlet. The lamp is available at electrical stores.
You can turn the light on and off with a switch. The degree of brightness is about from 5 watt to 30 watt, so it doesn't have a lighting effect but does make the interior smarter.
Moreover, you can see the writings on the globe better than usual with its brightness.
The globe above sees easily with the lighting, and is Caryle of the popular article that name of a place information is abundant.
How many countries are on the globe ?
They are indicated based on the table of the country of the world published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.
Check official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan to see details.
Is the celestial globe a constellation?
You may think that it put the constellation seen from the all earth on a round ball. However, it is not because all of these constellations are seen from Japan. Road "Ecliptic" that the sun passes is drawn on the surface of the ball, and the constellation (starry sky) seen from Japan based on this today can be seen. There is the one being drawn for the beautiful illustration based on Greek myths with the constellation and the Milky Way in the celestial globe, too. Beautiful space comes fantastically to the surface when the indoor illuminance is dropped and the celestial globe is lit.
The celestial globe in the photograph above is with built-in the lighting and The CELESTIAL of the popular article that the illustration is beautiful (English version).
I found some flaws like cuts on the surface of my globe. Is it defect ?
The globes except for those illuminated have a map printed on the paper and in the processes it's changed to a spherical shape. Next, the raised relief is done. However, the height of the mountains differs in each point, so the degree of the paper pulled also differs in each part. Finally, remaining part is put inside the globe. Sometimes the marks like cuts would be left on the surface.
This is inevitable because of the way of making. Sorry but actually it is impossible to make one with no flaw.
*The illuminated globes are made of plastic(not sticked on) and there is no flaw. If you would mind the flaws, we recommend you to buy the illuminated globe.
I want to see the globes actually...

I recently had a Nutritional Counseling appointment with Denise. I basically needed some reassurance that I was doing 'everything' ok. Sometimes when we are not perfect with our daily consumption of food and supplements we think we are not making a difference. I explained my personal situation with her and she reassured me that I was doing a great job. Denise also provided me with some great advice that will help benefit my overall health both now and the future.Paulette K

Home > Pacific Whale Foundation
Well, you would think that the Pacific Whale Foundation would be the perfect company to go on a whale watch with on Maui, and if that was you're first thought, you would have been right. These guys just can't wait for the whales to come back in the winter. They love to go out and see them and incorporate all sorts of research into these whale watch tours as well. In mid-winter they even coordinate an island-wide whale count involving hundreds of people standing at various locations on the island and on the waters counting the whales during a specific time on a specific day. They have whale watching tours that leave from both Lahaina and Maalaea Harbors all day long and the "marine naturalists" they have on board will tell you the fascinating story behind these gentle giants of the sea and make sure to answer all your questions.........In addition, 'dolphin watches' are a big part of the Pacific Whale Foundation's agenda and they have tours that go out to the island of Lanai to find them. Molokini snorkel tours are also on the list of their adventures and they even have one tour that combines a Molokini snorkel tour with a Lanai dolphin watch for a full day of fun. For the real adventurous, you can also sign up for a rigid hull inflatable similar to a Zodiac raft that will take small groups off to Lanai to observe the marine life.

If you are coming to Maui on a cruise ship then you need to make sure you browse our Maui cruise ship category before you make any reservations for activities during shore leave.
Dinner cruises usually include: full dinner, an open bar, live entertainment and the best show of all: the islands, the sea, the mountain peaks, clouds, sun, stars, and - as often as heavenly possible - the moon.
Unlike Maui's famous Humpback whales, dolphins are year-round residents of Hawaii and can be seen off all the Hawaiian islands during virtually every month of the year.

The stiff Maui's trade winds provide for great Maui sailing trips. If the notion of Maui sails intrigues you, you've come to the right spot. The Maui sailing climate and prevailing winds provide the best possible sailing environment.
Perhaps you're interested in just taking a sightseeing boat tour off the coastline of the island without going snorkeling. This is the page where you want to find your Hawaiian tour boat.
There's a reason people love snorkeling on Maui. The ocean waters surrounding Maui and its neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokini are comfortably warm, have great visibility (often in excess of 100 feet), and are teeming with beautiful coral formations and colorful tropical fish.
Many vessels on Maui can take you on a sunset cruise, most leaving from Lahaina harbor. Catamarans, sloops, schooners, and even power vessels - no matter what boat on Maui you take, one thing is certain, it will be the beginning of an evening you will remember for a long time to come.
In the 1800's Lanai was purchased by the Dole family and became the major producer for the Dole Pineapple Company. This role has diminished in recent years and Lanai has now taken a front seat in the tourist industry.
Sometimes you just can't fit a square peg in a round hole. We have accumulated here on this page a few of the activities we offer on the island that just don't seem to fit in any of the traditional categories.
