The authors of The Siblings' Busy Book have shared this great craft. Using leaves, paper bags, paints and a few other materials you can create this gorgeous fall leaf place mat. This is a great kids craft for them to work on.
- Fallen leaves
- Crayons
- Ribbon and hole punch
- Scissors
- Paper grocery bags
- Glue sticks
- Washable tempera paint
- Paintbrushes
- Clear contact paper
On a pleasant autumn day, you and your children can gather a variety of fallen leaves. When inside, cut paper grocery bags into 8-inch-by-11-inch rectangles for your toddler, preschooler, and school-age child. Your children can then glue leaves onto these homemade place mats or lightly paint a leaf and press the imprint onto them. When the finished place mats are dry, cover them with clear contact paper and trim the excess.
As your older children make the place mats, make your baby a bib from the same materials. Cut a bib shape from a paper bag. Show her some brightly colored leaves and describe their colors: "This leaf is yellow; this leaf is orange." See if she coos or reaches for her favorites. Glue the leaves to her bib, cover it with contact paper, and use ribbon and a hole punch to secure it around her neck. She should wear the bib only under your close supervision.
Your toddler may enjoy gluing leaves onto the grocery bag with your help, but he may have an easier time creating his place mat if you skip the bag altogether. Instead, tape an 8-inch-by-11-inch sheet of clear contact paper sticky side up to the table and encourage him to stick the leaves directly to it. During this process, however, your toddler may discover that the dried leaves will often crumble if he tries to pull them off the contact paper or if he presses them on too roughly. If this happens, talk about cause and effect—and make sure he has lots of leaves! When he's done, cover his work with another sheet of contact paper.
At this age, your preschooler has the dexterity to paint one side of a leaf and press it onto her place mat. Encourage her to use different colors of paint and different shapes of leaves to create a design.
School-Age Child
For an added art challenge, encourage your school-age child to incorporate the leaf imprints into a drawing on his place mat. For instance, he can turn an imprint of a maple leaf into butterfly wings or an imprint of an oak leaf into the flames from a rocket.

Taylor Swift, One Direction + More to Perform at iHeartRadio Music Festival
Huge stars will be hitting the stage to perform at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in September.
Clear Channel announced the fest's lineup earlier today (July 23) to the screams of pop fans everywhere. Taylor Swift, One Direction and Ariana Grande will all be performing their massive hits at the MGM Grande Garden Arena in Las Vegas. (Taylor and Harry in the same location? We can already imagine the headlines!)
With all three acts working on their next albums, it's almost a guarantee new music will be gracing the fest. But if the temptation of hearing previously unperformed tunes isn't enough to draw a massive crow, then performances by Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Iggy Azalea and Nicki Minaj definitely will.
And we're still not finished listing all the performers! Fans of Lorde, Usher, Paramore, Calvin Harris, Motley Crue, Zac Brown Band and Eric Church will also be flocking to Sin City to see their music idols.
The star-studded festival will take place on Sept. 19-20, and tickets go on sale Saturday (July 26).

Messi passes Pele's goals in 1 year as Barca wins
Barca star striker, Lionel Messi surpasses legendary footballer Pele's record.
Lionel Messi surpassed Pele's milestone of goals in a calendar year by scoring for the 75th and 76th time in 2012 to move within nine of Gerd Mueller's all-time record as Barcelona won 4-2 at Mallorca in the Spanish league.
Xavi Hernandez unlocked Mallorca's defense with a free kick in the 28th minute before Messi struck in the 44th. Cristian Tello added a third goal a minute later at Iberostar stadium yesterday.
After Mallorca netted twice early in the second half to breathe life into the match, Messi stepped up to score again the 70th to ensure victory as Barcelona rebounded from its loss at Celtic in the Champions League. "Leo's records are spectacular" said Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova.
"It's spectacular when you think that he scores so many goals. Some few players reach these numbers in seven or eight seasons, he does it in one. And most of his goals are great goals."
This is the latest scoring feat for the Argentina forward, one of the leading candidates for the Ballon D'Or. Messi scored 73 goals in the 2011-12 season for Barcelona, breaking the previous European club record of 67 goals set by Mueller in 1972-73. He also set a Spanish league record of 50 goals last season and broke Cesar Rodriguez's 57-year milestone of 232 goals to become Barcelona all-time leading scorer.
Barcelona's 10th win in 11 rounds extended its club-record start and opened up a provisional 11-point gap over third-place Madrid ahead of its game at Levante.
Also, second-place Atletico Madrid stayed three points behind the pacesetters by easing past visiting Getafe 2-0 thanks to goals by Adrian Lopez and Arda Turan. Joaquin Caparros' Mallorca tried to follow Celtic's defensive blueprint from Wednesday's upset in Glasgow.
But the strategy didn't last even half an hour. Xavi Hernandez took full advantage of a foul earned by Cesc Fabregas on the edge of the area. The Spain midfielder bent a beautiful free kick over the defensive barrier that turned goalkeeper Dudu Aouate into yet another spectator as it fell into his net. "Both Xavi's opener and Leo's goal to make it 4-2 were the turning points to the match," said Gerard Pique, who made his first start for Barcelona since injuring his foot in September.
Messi converted Barcelona's 75 percent of possession into a deserved second goal when the Argentina forward dribbled by several defenders and unleashed a left footed-shot that Aouate let slip through his hands. Tello then quickly made it 3-0 by curving a strike from outside the area into the far side of the goal. When it appeared
Barcelona would cruise to the comfortable victory, two errors allowed Mallorca to get back into the game. Mallorca's Michael Pereira pulled one back in the 55th after Javier Mascherano lost the ball. Two minutes later, Victor Casadesus made it 3-2 from the penalty spot following Sergio Busquets' handball in the box.
But Messi received a chested pass from Alexis Sanchez and smashed the ball into the top corner to restore Barcelona's two-goal advantage and crush Mallorca's hopes.
Messi's seventh double of the season increased his league-leading tally to 15 goals. He has 20 in all competitions this season.
Pele scored 75 goals for Brazil and Santos in 1958.
Mueller had 85 in 1972 for West Germany and Bayern Munich.
Elsewhere on Sunday, Athletic Bilbao beat visiting Sevilla 2-0 for its first back-to-back wins of the season, while 10-man Valencia stayed winless away this season after drawing 1-1 at Valladolid.

Press Release:
Panel Discussion and Sneak Peek of Upcoming Feature Film Release "This Is Where I Leave You" on Friday, May 30th Sets the Stage for Highly Anticipated Consumer Book Event
NORWALK, CT – April 8, 2014 – Hot on the heels of its recent announcement of BookCon, a one-of-a-kind interactive consumer book event, ReedPOP, the world's largest producer of pop culture events, announces a star-studded kickoff celebration to usher in the show. Exemplifying the show's mission of giving fans an experience where books and pop culture collide, ReedPOP will host a special panel and sneak peek of the upcoming film adaptation of Jonathan Tropper's bestselling book This Is Where I Leave You. The panel discussion will feature two of the stars of the film, Jason Bateman and Tina Fey, along with director Shawn Levy, and Tropper, who also wrote the screenplay, based on his novel. It will be followed by an exclusive Happy Hour to celebrate the debut of BookCon which will feature access to a number of top authors, giving fans the ultimate interactive experience. The limited access BookCon kickoff event will happen on the eve of BookCon on May 30th at the Special Events Hall in the Javits Center.
The all-star BookCon kickoff event was created as a window into the type of events that BookCon will offer attendees. The day-long event is crafted for creative-minded, passionate book fans in the publishing capital of the world. Every aspect of the show is thoughtfully designed to appeal to the modern-day book lover with an appreciation for broader pop-culture and where these worlds intersect. By bridging the world of film and literature, the panel is a prime example of the mission for this consumer event and will usher in more exciting events and panels soon to be announced.
The hour-long panel, moderated by Entertainment Weekly's Anthony Breznican, will start at 4:00 PM. A limited number of tickets for the BookCon kickoff event will be available for all those who purchase BookCon and BEA tickets for an additional $10. ReedPOP will also offer tickets as part of a VIP package that will include special artwork, a signed copy of This Is Where I Leave You, First Access to seating, access to BookCon on Saturday, and more.
"This is exactly the type of event that embodies what BookCon is all about and sets the tone in a truly impactful way," said ReedPOP's Global Senior Vice President, Lance Fensterman. "This is our way of celebrating the debut of BookCon and giving fans a unique experience that will carry into the following day."
Announcement of the kickoff event follows ReedPOP's recent news of BookCon and its lineup of feature headliners including Amy Poehler, Martin Short, John Grisham, R.L. Stine, Stan Lee, Cary Elwes, Cassandra Clare, and Maggie Stiefvater.
Jonathan Tropper says: "This Is Where I Leave You was launched at BEA five years ago, so returning now to introduce the movie for the first time is a fitting and deeply satisfying way to celebrate the adaptation."
Additional exciting details about BookCon exhibitors, talent, and sponsors will be revealed in the coming weeks. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit www.TheBookCon.com or BookCon's social media pages (Facebook, Twitter & Instagram).
The dramatic comedy "This is Where I Leave You" is directed by Shawn Levy, and based on the hilarious and poignant bestselling novel by Tropper. It features a starring ensemble cast including Golden Globe winner Jason Bateman ("Arrested Development"); Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Tina Fey ("30 Rock"); and two-time Oscar® winner, multiple Golden Globe honoree and 2013 Emmy Award nominee Jane Fonda ("Klute," "Coming Home," HBO's "The Newsroom").
When their father passes away, four grown siblings, bruised and banged up by their respective adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Confronting their history and the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting ways amid the chaos, humor, heartache and redemption that only families can provide–driving us insane even as they remind us of our truest, and often best, selves.
Shawn Levy, who helmed the blockbuster "Night at the Museum" films, as well as "Date Night" and "Real Steel," directs from a screenplay by Jonathan Tropper.
The film also stars Adam Driver (HBO's "Girls"), Rose Byrne ("Bridesmaids," "X-Men: First Class"), Corey Stoll ("House of Cards," "Midnight in Paris"), Kathryn Hahn (NBC's "Parks and Recreation").
"This is Where I Leave You" is produced by Paula Weinstein ("The Perfect Storm," HBO's "Recount") Shawn Levy, and Jeffrey Levine ("The Family Man"). Mary McLaglen ("Real Steel," "The Proposal") and Jonathan Tropper serve as executive producers. The creative filmmaking team includes director of photography Terry Stacey ("Safe Haven," "50/50"), production designer Ford Wheeler ("Rachel Getting Married"), editor Dean Zimmerman ("Real Steel") and costume designer Susan Lyall ("RED"). The music is by Oscar®-winning composer Michael Giacchino ("Up").
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Spring Creek Production, a 21 Laps Production, a Shawn Levy Film: "This is Where I Leave You," opening September 12, 2014. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.

"The thing is that this life is so precious and mysterious, I don't know what to say about it most of the time. Words are like birds, passing through the trackless sky. The dog barking, the sound of the purling stream,the wind among the weeping willow trees: how are these not right off the tongue of the Buddha?" –Lama Surya Das
Lama Surya Das is one of the foremost Western Buddhist meditation teachers and scholars, one of the main interpreters of Tibetan Buddhism in the West, and a leading spokesperson for the emerging American Buddhism. The Dalai Lama affectionately calls him "The Western Lama." The following is a teaching from his blog, which can be found on his website here.
Look for Lama Surya Das' book "Buddha Standard Time" on Amazon!
"Wisdom and compassion, the Buddhist words for truth and love, are like the two wings of a great bird. As a bird cannot fly with only one wing, we need wisdom to know truth and warmhearted loving compassion to live closely together and get along in this world. The word "religion" implies uniting and bringing together, and should not become a divisive force in this world. Each of the world's major religions has their own version of the Golden Rule, to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." And there is only one person we can ask to do this: ourselves. Each of us must focus on our own behavior and let it be good. Let's learn to love and accept ourselves and each other with patience and tolerance before it's too late to save this, our endangered planet.
Each of us is unique and significant, and has our role to play in this great pageant. Everything we do makes a difference, whether large or small. It's not how large our works, accomplishments, and deeds are, or even if they are recognized, seen, and appreciated. It's how much love we put into them that makes them meaningful and even great in the long run. Even something as simple as being polite is connected to morality and self-discipline, steadying and easing the societal and family wheels. Politeness requires patient attention, alert presence of mind, and conscientious care for others as well as oneself — all factors of contemplation, meditation, prayer, and awakening. Pay attention, my dear friends. If we are not here now, we won't be there then. This I can guarantee. Developing present awareness by consistently remembering to integrate mindfulness into our actions, rather than mindlessly sleepwalking through our days, helps bring us all that we want, need and aspire to, a better quality of life for ourselves and all our connections."
~ Lama Surya Das

The Texans have climbed to the top of some respected NFL Power Rankings after their filthy night in Chicago as they grabbed their eighth victory of the season against the Bears on Sunday Night Football.
Next up, the Texans will face the Jaguars on Sunday at Reliant Stadium. And here's something to keep your Texans enthusiasm going.
Houston rapper Dre LaDon recently released a music video for the song H Up 4 Dem Texans, which featured Houston's most familiar Texans fans.
Texans defensive end Antonio Smith, some dancing girls, the Battle Red Freaks and other fans are featured in it. And if you pay close attention and don't blink, you might see my two-second cameo.
Tell me what you think. See if you recognize any of these fans.

I'm telling you, this week's issue of Us Weekly is balls to the wall – Janice Min is gunning for the GMD, and the girl is ferocious!
Here's Katie in Louisiana back at work with Queen Latifah bouncing the most tacky ass costume curls and a rather genuine and refreshing smile, clearly happy at being let outside for a change. Because according to the Us article, her life is as far from freedom as it gets.
Get ready for chills, chills, chills.
The piece is titled: Why Katie Won't Leave, describing a life consumed by Scientology, to the point where a source has said she is "sick and tired" of her husband's beliefs. Apparently she's at the Scientology Celebrity Centre three times a week, and is surrounded by a steadily rotating crew of "minders to make sure that nothing is said or done that would be critical of the Church".
Thing is, all seem to be in agreement that Katie is still deeply in love with Tom, that she is doing whatever she can and agreeing to whatever he asks, including Mommy Classes, because she is true to her man and her marriage. Certain issues, however, suggest that she is not so devoted to the Xenu – in particular her relationship with Victoria Beckham.
The friendship has been allowed to continue supposedly because of the Beckhams' potential to be recruited. But Katie's attachment to Posh "indicates she's not fully committed to the Church". And her ambivalence to the Xenu, especially since she's married to one of the highest ranking Operating Thetans in Hollywood (I'm not kidding you, that's what they call it – Operating Thetans – and they have levels, and the GMD is Level 7 out of 8), could have disastrous implications for him in the Church. Even more alarming, if she does ever decide that the Xenu is not for her, those around her who've pledged allegiance to Scientology would have to sever ties – and that includes Little Sci.
As such, according to the magazine, keeping Katie in line is of critical importance to Tom Cruise, with professional, personal, and religious implications.
Now don't tell me that doesn't scare the sh-t out of you.
But a light moment in between, shall we? And this is why I love The Posh. Because The Posh is too cheap to join the Church, one of the few occasions where her avarice is actually defensible.
So last weekend, Victoria and her boys are at Bluebell's christening. Supposedly the GMD kept calling her, demanding to know whether or not the ceremony was Christian or Scientological…
After too many irritating questions, Victoria snapped to him: Not interested in Scientology!
See? She's priceless.
More chilling details including the "signs" of Cruise Control can be found in the magazine. Oh and PS. Did you know that as an Operating Thetan, Tom Cruise can move inanimate objects by simply willing it? If you can spare half an hour and want to learn more, head to Rolling Stone and read all about it – thanks to Ruthie for the tip!
Chills, chills, chills.
And that is why Tom Cruise is the best actor ever and totally deserves an Oscar and helps firefighters and policemen and heroin addicts and raises the most amazing, marvelous children - praise Thetan, ah-Xenu.

When evaluating HCM vendors, it can be difficult to know which will work for your organization.
Read the latest "Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud HCM Suites" report to get a side-by-side comparison of key HCM vendors and learn why the world's leading research and advisory company named Workday a leader for the third year in a row, positioning us highest in the Leader's quadrant for our ability to execute.
We were able to not only accomplish the 'Big Bang' without any productivity gap, but we accomplished the whole project in less time than we imagined by a factor of two. Most companies take multiple months beyond what Hewlett Packard experienced, and our Workday partners were right there with us to make that happen.

The summer movie season now officially begins in early May, thanks to last year's blockbuster May releases: Spider-Man 3, Shrek The Third and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. This May, there are no fewer than 23 movies coming out, including "tentpole" films Iron Man, Speed Racer, Narnia and Indiana Jones. And the schedule is overcrowded with wannabe blockbusters all summer long, raising the chances that we'll see some high-profile flops. [Variety]

We brought you Entertainment Tonight's tease of the first official "Captain America: The First Avenger" trailer - Well, we need not be teased anymore. The full trailer has arrived.
Sure, it still has the oddly-placed shot of young Howard Stark (father of Iron Man Tony) pulling down his sunglasses 80s-movie style when confronted with a newly-buff Steve Rogers (Stark, we see you shiver in an....tici......pation) - but the rest strikes all the right notes. Rogers' never-say-die attitude, the mounting evil of the Red Skull's Hydra army, and FINALLY a shot of Cap throwing his mighty shield.

"Saturday Night Live" aired a movie trailer mash-up over the weekend, mixing scenes from the apocalyptic disaster flick "2012" and footage altered to show Sarah Palin winning the next presidential election. Her vice president in the "SNL" satire, called "Palin 2012": Conservative crybaby Glenn Beck.
The timing, of course, is at least half the joke. Palin's been everywhere lately promoting her new book, including on stage with Oprah Winfrey, who had some big news of her own this week. While Palin is playing coy on her future, there seems little doubt the Republican former Alaska governor is mulling a 2012 run for president.
Beck, meanwhile, not so quietly began laying the groundwork for a life beyond flooding the airwaves with tears, vitriol and conspiracy theories. Hours before "SNL" aired, Beck announced he's developing a "100-year plan" for the country, and said he'll run seven "conventions" where attendees "will be immersed in learning about topics ranging from self-reliance, community organizing, the economy and how to be a political force in your own neighborhood and country."
He promised to reveal his plan at the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28, which he touted as "the birthday of a new national movement to restore our great country." Beck didn't mention that he'll be speaking from the same spot where Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech 47 years earlier to the day.
Just a guess here, but it's a good bet Beck's dream differs somewhat from King's.
Beck didn't say whether he has an eye on elective office, but it seems unlikely he'd shy away from an opportunity his actions appear aimed at creating. At the very least, he's looking to become a kingmaker: He told The New York Times his conventions will feature voter registration drives, and he suggested he'll be helping candidates with views similar to his.
Beck's views are a problem with some, including the Anti-Defamation League, which described him in a report last week as the mainstream media's "fearmonger-in-chief."
The ADL pointed to Beck's comparing President Obama to Hitler, and promoting a crackpot theory that the Federal Emergency Management Administration was preparing concentration camps for "dissidents" (he later backed off).
He's not as easily dismissed as his rhetoric: Beck has a couple major platforms – a Fox News TV show and a syndicated radio program – from which to spout such nonsense. And he's exploiting both the split within the Republican Party and Obama's declining popularity at a time when many folks are struggling to make ends meet. Unlike, say, former CNN talking head and possible electoral candidate Lou Dobbs, Beck isn't giving up his bully pulpits – or being forced to – as he jumps into blatant political organizing.
The latest "SNL" also featured a "Weekend Update" segment with Al Gore, whose efforts to raise awareness about global warming were once likened by Beck to the Holocaust.
Gore joked in the "SNL" bit that it's time "to out-crazy the crazies." He was talking about going to extremes to get attention for the fight against global warming, but he might as well have been giving political advice to the Democratic Party and mainstream Republicans.
While both Gore and Beck have different concerns about the next century, let's consider the next couple of years: Come 2012, Beck's tears could be replaced by laughter.

I'm an anti-theist. I used to be an atheist but I realized that it did not describe my true feelings. And let's face it somewhere between theist, atheist, and anti-theist it's all about your belief system. I grew up Mormon in the deep south. My family are multi-generational Mormons active in both their faith and church leadership. I left my religion at the age of 18 as I watched friends of mine coming back off their missions. Young men and women who had been brainwashed and inculcated into the hyperbolic microcosm that is the mormon religion.
Upon leaving my parents faith I wandered randomly through different belief systems. Anything from New Age Wicca to Judaism were up for exploration. I read Alister Crowley and Confucius. All of them were fun. The more bizarre they were the more time I seemed to spend exploring them. But all of them were lacking. None seemed to be based in reality.
I love science. I have since my mother loaned me her college astronomy textbook at 7 years old. Despite her faith she studied to be a secondary science teacher. At BYU they have a very effective method of allocating faith and studies for people. I read National Geographics with rabid fascination. I was disciplined for reading science books at the school library that were 'beyond my level'. I loved the tangible nature of the scientific method and the amazing discoveries about our universe.
Over time I came to reject the variety of belief systems I ran across. They all seemed to have similar issues and some unique ones. They were a cult combination of fantasy and heresy. The people that belonged to them rarely behaved in the pattern proscribed by the scripture they followed. Or if they did it got even more bizarre. They hated outsiders with valid questions. And eventually I was left with atheism.
It wasn't hard to come to. I already had a malicious attitude towards my parents faith. I just broadened the scope as I began to realize how little difference there was between any of them. They all were lost. Fantastical stories that were so human-centric as to just be ridiculous. Science has shown us much of the universe we live in and there just was no place for god, shiva, etc.
But recently I've moved beyond my atheism. Or maybe it has grown to a broader concept of the state of humanity. It came to me while reading buddhist scripture and the yoga sutras. I know, a strange place to find yourself when coming to these types of conclusions. However, while reading this monastic literature I came across the concept of science. The people writing these documents in antiquity start their writings with descriptions of science of experience, logic, reasoning. Why would they use such a words when they were practicing these ancient religions? How is that the yoga sutras of Patanjali written millennia ago would describe the practice of ascetic yoga as 'the science of the mind'. Or the Dali Lama would describe logic based analysis of reality as the basis for a meditative practice. These were some of our early critical thinkers I realized. They were practicing in a world view that had not yet developed the instrumentation required for great scientific discovery. But their desire was the same. Reality, science, the human experience needed to be realized without dogmatic belief systems but with a fundamental practice.
And so I finally crossed from atheism to anti-theism. I believe that religion is wrong. Wrong for every reason. Wrong for humanity. Wrong for our future. Any time a single human gives up their capacity for critical thinking to worship or obsesses we all lose. We lose their their contribution to our innate humanity. Their ability to be a part of a critically thinking community.
Therefore I believe that any theistic belief system is a negative impact on humanity. Only by releasing ourselves to think critically can we improve ourselves. Only by questioning and re-questioning will the answers become apparent. Through this path, letting go of our structured belief systems, and testing them to break and transfigure will our true humanity reveal it's place in the universe.
Think critically, test often, and enjoy the results.

One author's story about the elusive book self-publishing process
The elusive book publishing process: A little risk, a little reward
Subscribe now
My favorite thing about the Internet is the way it makes so many of us into storytellers. It turns people on to sharing their own experiences, especially experiences they might be uncomfortable relating in person. My enthusiasm for the Internet's encouragement of transparency extends beyond digital confessionals and group therapy and well into the mundane: instruction manuals; wikis packed with the sort of minutiae one used to have to wait to overhear at a cocktail party; and the open listserv a friend maintained as a shared journal, where my every entry addressed the lone lurker no one knew (but who seemed to be named Paul and kept showing up in the output of a REVIEW DIARY-L).
I've come to count on this recurrent trait of the Internet, the way it appeals to the need we have to regale or caution or consult the tribe. There's a specific refrain I hear or say every time my social circle has a question come up in conversation, usually voiced while reaching into one's left pocket: "Hang on, I'll ask the Internet."
I am utterly reliant on this when writing. The longer I spend in front of a draft, the more tabs I open. I rack up one search after another to check the spelling or meaning of a word, the floor plan of a big-box retail store, the history of Nihilism, a recipe for bread pudding, yet another synonym for "ran". The Internet can cough up a wrong answer as easily as a right one, of course, but it can give me enough information to keep writing rather than sacrifice my authorial rhythm to an hour of detailed research. (Importantly, whatever I find in a search engine when I fact-check my work is probably also what my readers will find when they casually do the same.)
I say all of this to frame the disappointment I felt when I decided to self-publish an ebook and found that plenty of other writers had strong opinions about what not to do—but no one was willing to spill the beans on what worked. I quickly realized that this was something like my father's flat refusal to discuss his income with anyone other than my mother and his open offense at the idea that anyone would ever ask about such a personal matter as his professional life.
Even writers who openly discuss their business dealings usually eschew sharing the secrets of their success. They traffic instead in cautionary tales, of which there are more than enough. I've found reports of countless scams preying on the ambition of those new to publishing. Writer Beware is my favorite source of such information and I recommend anyone who's interested in publishing their own work begin the planning process by checking the options they're considering against the money traps discussed there.
All the shalt nots in the world don't add up to a single thou shalt, and that was my problem. My novel Perishables won the 2012 Laine Cunningham Novel Award with an unpublished revision. This win gave me the motivation to tamp down my paralyzing timidity and try to sell it, for real money and everything, to someone who might never have met me but would think my story worth their time. I could formulate the basics of a plan for self-publishing, but I couldn't compare it against plans executed by others. I groused about the lack of positive advice and plunged ahead with my own plan, damn the torpedoes.
Somewhere along the way I was advised that a good cover can sell a book but a bad one can kill it. I found a few visual artists on Google+ who had been recommended as possible sources, then emailed six of them at random. I was very direct: I told them I planned to self-publish my first novel, that I was completely clueless, and that I wanted to discuss retaining them as a cover designer. Three ignored me, one rubbed me the wrong way, one gave me a very polite response that he was too busy at the time, and one responded with nothing but enthusiasm. The artist I chose, John Ward, was enthused both by writing in general and by the synopsis I'd given him of Perishables—describing it as a zombie novel that isn't really about the zombies but is about frustrated geeks and a vampire who lives in suburbia and what they do when the dead rise.
Very early in our discussions, John made a radical suggestion that slotted perfectly into the tab of my frustration with others' silence: that we conduct the entire process of cover design—brainstorming, drafts, and revision approvals—transparently via public posts on Google+. I hired him immediately and told him I was going to extend his suggestion to trying to document everything about the publishing process as openly as I could. Thus, The Perishables Project was born.
My stated goal with The Perishables Project was to record what was required for me to sell 10 copies to total strangers. I wasn't sure anyone would care about that, but I got questions before I'd even started. And once I did start posting, I racked up interested observers from all over the place. Many of my friends are fellow creatives and they wanted to know what it would be like to offer their work for others to consume.
There were a lot of writers on Google+ who were interested in observing the cover creation process as it unfolded. People wanted to talk to me about the project, both in person and online. I got a number of personal messages via social media sites, email, and Twitter with specific questions. In all of these cases it was clear that each correspondent had spent significant time—perhaps years—nursing these questions like a too-strong drink.
It's easy to understand why. There is a vast chasm of vulnerability and courage between the word processor and a stranger's eyes. Perishables was the most recent output from years of writing I've done almost completely in private. I've resisted calling myself a "novelist", but Perishables is the tenth book-length work I've written. That it's the first I've tried to publish in any formal way is a direct result of how precious the writing process is to me—coupled with the stark terror of what someone might think if they were to read any of it.
All stories are told with an audience in mind, even those told by writers who never plan to share them with anyone. A writer who never reveals their work to others writes for some tight-lipped audience of the imagination. Those phantom readers are the most precious of all to a fragile ego, because they never have anything bad to say about the words that land on the page. The fact that they don't have anything good to say is a small price for avoiding the cut of criticism. I suspect that fear of an unpredictable public reaction is also what prevents creators and self-publishers from discussing their marketing efforts.
An attempt to get the attention of a stranger—and going further to encourage them to read and respond to one's work—is terrifying in its own right. Telling the world why and how one hopes to do so compounds that fear. The word 'hope' is the central issue. Anytime a person hopes for anything they must necessarily fear rejection or failure. A writer who actively publishes and markets their work is stringing together a whole bunch of mutually compounding hopes: that we write well, that readers notice our work, that they read our work once they notice it, and that they are glad they invested the time and money to do so.
When I publicly declared that I was going to share everything—what worked, what didn't, what I tried, and when and where and why—it was in part a way to combat that timidity in myself. Putting my own work out was terrifying, yes, but what if it became a series of experiments in which failure was just as interesting an outcome as success? That made it okay for me in a way it had never been before.
I'm a network security engineer by trade, and learned a long time ago that failure had to be a learning moment if I wanted to succeed in my career. I had never taken the step of extending that realization to my writing. I don't write to pay the mortgage so I don't care if someone "steals" my idea for marketing their own work. I don't particularly share my father's sensitivity to personal questions, either.
When you share ideas and ambitions, you hope to improve them by dragging them into the sunlight and seeing what people think. The ideas don't go away. I'm not sure I believe it's even possible to "steal" an idea in the first place. It's possible to duplicate the execution of an idea, yes, but ideas themselves do not disappear when two people act on them.
Our culture has room in it for The Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor, Dark City, and eXistenZ—and they're all distinct from one another despite significant overlap in their core concepts and their release within a couple of years of one another. I published a novel about a vampire and a bunch of zombies, but I didn't invent either genre. When I make a sale, it does not deny any income to Anne Rice (or Joss Whedon or Poppy Z. Brite or Bram Stoker or Octavia Butler or any of the countless other creators of stories involving vampires). There are more Linux distros out there than anyone can count and users seem to enjoy that about it. I use an open source operating system and open source productivity software at work and find myself having more conversations about why than I ever do about why not because their advantages are so much more interesting than the brief list of their shortcomings.
Likewise, putting my ideas out there allows others to copy them, suggest improvements, or improve their own efforts—and none of this has never allowed anyone to take my ideas, successes, or failures away from me. To the contrary, it provided me with new ideas and new successes (and some new failures—err, learning experiences).
Opening up to friends and interested observers has created a virtuous circle: by being willing to share what I do, I've helped others open up about what they do and I've learned from their experience in turn.
Over Labor Day weekend, at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, I attended a workshop on marketing for authors. It was one of the rare instances I've found of writers being willing to share what worked for them. Something said over and over was this: a writer's competition is not another writer. Authors do not have to fight over some finite set of readers. Most authors' core audiences are people who read voraciously and across genres. They're people who read everything they can get their hands on and those people are always eager to read more authors, not fewer. An author's competition is instead the Xbox or Netflix or art museums or anything else that takes a reader's time and eyes away from books—and I say this as someone who likes all of those things. No one said that talking about marketing is itself a form of marketing, but everyone was exploiting exactly that.
Everyone in the room was interested in learning how to market a creative work. We had all figured out that the potential reward of sharing experiences and asking questions was worth the risk of admitting we had done something stupid or had been too frightened of failure to try anything at all.
This is the open source ideal, isn't it? Writers who see a measure of success with one idea and then immediately try to build a fence around that concept and steer everyone else away from it are the publishing world's version of closed-source software.
Closed-source writers are safe to have all the bad ideas in the world, and they'll never have to face the embarrassment of anyone knowing what didn't work for them. But, by doing this, they also face the incredible challenge of developing their audience in that nebulous single-occupancy decision-making realm that is both an echo chamber and an absolute vacuum. They make it harder for themselves in the name of making it harder for writers they see as the competition. That seems terribly short-sighted to me.
How many proprietary software projects have failed because the coders couldn't get it past the alpha build without help and no one was willing to admit that until the budget was wrung out and the leads had moved on? How many good ideas never see the light of day because their originators are too frightened someone will steal them? How many stories never get written or published because the writer can't bear the thought of someone saying they didn't like what they read?
Every stage in the process of creation is burdened by the possibility of rejection, but ambition cannot be transformed into success without the heat of risk and the catalysts of feedback and alternative ideas. The smart creator recognizes this and builds it into the process.
Public reaction is dangerous and terrifying, but danger and terror are compelling. Stories about vampires and zombies wouldn't exist otherwise. Making any project open source—whether by publishing code and inviting revision or by posting what I've done to market Perishables and waiting to see what everyone thinks I should do instead—suggests all manner of nerve-wracking risks. It also opens up a whole realm of new rewards. As my main character says at one point, "A little risk, a little reward; they're all anybody ever gets." One requires the other, and new paradigms are formed by those who learn to embrace that.

At least 18 of Illinois' 98 Soil and Water Conservation District offices will close by June 1 because money promised in the state budget is not being provided.
At least 18 of Illinois' 98 Soil and Water Conservation District offices will close by June 1 because money promised in the state budget is not being provided.
One of those, in Lawrence County in southeastern Illinois, will close today (Friday), said Richard Nichols, executive director of the Association of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Districts.
The Scott County office will close May 1, and others in the area told the association they will follow in another month, including those in Morgan, Macoupin and Christian counties.
"Districts will still exist. Directors will still have an office, but the employees won't be there to provide services," Nichols said.
The districts work with private landowners to administer government conservation programs. They assist farmers in dealing with erosion problems, including engineering and design work for projects such as sediment-retention basins and dry dams built to control erosion.
The Sangamon County Soil and Conservation District, which has five full-time employees and one part-timer, is not in danger of closing, said executive director Barb Mendenhall. However, one of the district's programs is feeling the financial pinch.
The Conservation Practices Program, which shares costs with private property owners, hasn't gotten promised money from the state. The district is working off of funding left over from last year's budget, Mendenhall said.
"We always have a list of people with work they would like to have done," she said.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich's budget office has said it has no choice but to withhold funds from the districts because state tax collections are coming in below expectations. The administration believes there is a $750 million hole in the budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30.
The budget office released a written statement Thursday again encouraging lawmakers to approve a plan that allows the governor to take money from restricted state accounts to make up the shortfall.
"Ag isn't the only group affected," spokeswoman Kelly Quinn said. "Some grants for education are also being held."
Nichols, though, thinks there is a reason money is being withheld from conservation districts and the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Services offices.
"When you look at the groups affected, it appears downstate interests have been singled out," Nichols said. "We think the possibility is there that Gov. Blagojevich is attempting to apply pressure to downstate legislators to approve his programs."
Nichols pointed out that Soil and Water Conservation Districts aren't only downstate. A district that serves both Kane and DuPage counties in the Chicago suburbs also has told Nichols that it will probably have to shut down June 1.
Extension offices statewide are trying to figure out how to cope with the funding shortfall, and U of I Extension is bracing for the loss of as many as 450 jobs in its offices.
"We are worried about cutbacks in staff," said Monica David, U of I Extension coordinator for the Master Gardener program. "The fear is we will have to cut back the programs master gardeners are offering to the public, if we don't have the staff to manage the volunteers. If we don't have the staff, we will be in deep doo-doo."
Jennifer Fishburn, who oversees the Master Gardener program for the Sangamon-Menard Extension office, said the 133 master gardeners in the two counties collected more than 47,000 pounds of fresh produce for area food banks. The food came from a program that encourages gardeners to grow additional vegetables for donation.
Robin Orr, the U of I Extension specialist who runs the Food Stamp Nutritional Education Program, said, "In a worst possible scenario, we could lost 40 to 60 percent of the program" that provides information on nutrition, food budgeting and even cooking schools for people who receive food stamps.

Here are some programs overseen by Cooperative Extension and Soil and Water Conservation District offices:
-- Conservation Practices Program — Administered by conservation districts, it helps landowners control erosion, including through construction of grass terraces, sediment-control basins, dry dams and other structures. District staff will advise a landowner on the best option for controlling a particular erosion problem and do design and surveying work. Costs are shared, with 60 percent coming from the district (from state funds) and 40 percent from the landowner.
-- Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program — Also administered by the conservation districts, this program encourages farmers to take land out of production that is within a 100-year floodplain. Grass or trees on the land instead of crops reduces sediment flowing into waterways. Landowners are compensated. District offices administer the state portion of the program, including monitoring to ensure crops aren't later planted on the land.
-- 4-H — The largest program run through Cooperative Extension, 4-H has about 480,000 participants statewide ages 8 to 18. Although 4-H is usually associated with agricultural and livestock showings, it offers programs in areas such as computer science, rocketry, home economics, natural resources, mechanical sciences, community service and more than 200 others. Entry point for the program is mostly through local Extension offices, said Sharon Petefish, Extension specialist for 4-H youth development. More than 27,000 volunteers work with 4-H, in addition to full-time Extension staff who oversee the program locally.
-- Master Gardener — Another Extension program that has more than 3,300 volunteers who work with youngsters, jail inmates, visit nursing homes, and conduct other programs to teach the art of gardening and answer questions about gardening issues. People who want to become master gardeners apply through local Extension offices and then must complete 60 hours of training in horticulture, plant diseases, insects, soils and other issues. After passing an exam, master gardeners keep the designation by continuing to spend time working with the public.
-- Family Nutrition Program — County Extension offices administer this program to provide a million-plus people on food stamps with a variety of nutrition-related information. It can include how to make the most of a food-stamp allocation, how to shop for good grocery deals, how to read food labels, budgeting, food safety and even cooking tips. Many of those hired to offer this advice are food-stamp recipients themselves, said Robin Orr, U of I Extension specialist. Staff goes to churches, community centers, schools and "places where people on food stamps live and work and play," she said.

You would need to get the part number off the back of the instruments.
Hope somebody can help, I have recently purchased a 1998 Skoda pick up 1.6 petrol, it has had some modifications done including a new interior.
I have noticed my temp gauge does not move much over 70 deg. I have replaced the temp sensor and the thermostat checking for damage to the end cover housing but this has not improved the problem.
I am wondering if the dash panel has been replaced along with the rest of the interior and now the temp gauge is no longer paired with the reg number / temp sender.
Does anybody have any advise on how I can investigate my problem further? Makes me feel edgy driving around not knowing the true temp. The cooling fan does cut in and I noticed the gauge needle dropping slightly.
Many thanks
You would need to get the part number off the back of the instruments.
If you can get the the number I can tell you if the unit MAY be the correct one. The system the dealer uses for identifying parts to the car using the VIN (called FI suggestion) only started in around 1998 on the Golf 4 and even on the Audi A4 was not fully operational until 2002 ish and later for Skoda.
You can search for any parts number you want for you vehicle on http://www.partsbase.org/skoda/pick-up-pick-eu-1998/
2010 Golf GTD (170) CBBB, 5 Door, Shadow Blue, Flat Tyre Indicator, Service Plan, Basic Protection Pack + VCDS.
I took a couple of photos of numbers on the instrument panel, Im sure its not the original as the surround is a different colour than the dash board.
Any help would be great. Does anybody know if there is a difference between the black sender with a blue ring and a black sender with a yellow ring ?
Thanks for advise everybody, it's greatly appreciated.
I posted picture of various numbers from the back of the instrument panel yesterday morning but am still waiting for approval from the site moderator.
look forward to further help
I was hoping there would be a VW type part number sticker on the back of the unit such as 6U2 919 033 G, which is what I think it should be and this is listed as sill being available but will probably go onto a factory backorder, the list price is £326.14. There is only one other unit listed but that is for the "FUN" model. Unusually for a VAG product, a lot of spares are listed for this car such as the temp gauge which is £30.31. According to my system, you car should have the sender with the blue identification ring from some manufacturers and the yellow one from others but Febi say blue and so do Hella.

TRIPOLI, Libya, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- The ex-Libyan officer convicted of plotting the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 bombing and released from a Scottish prison two years ago is near death, officials said.
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi was near death at his home near Tripoli, CNN reported Sunday, showing images of a weakened man wearing an oxygen mask in bed,
Al-Megrahi, released by Scottish officials for humanitarian reasons because he was dying from cancer, received a hero's welcome in Libya, which maddened leaders of the United States and other Western governments who have called upon Libyan rebels to extradite him. The rebels' Transitional National Council has refused the requests, bedeviling its Western backers.
Al-Megrahi's death would end the possibility of getting his account of the Libyan government's role in the bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, in which 270 people died, 189 of them U.S. citizens, The New York Times reported.
Al-Megrahi's family told CNN they were caring for him without help.
"We just give him oxygen," al-Megrahi's son, Khaled, said. "Nobody gives us any advice. There is no doctor. There is nobody to ask. We don't have any phone line to call anybody."

The Good Natured range consists of a variety of mainly UK produced salad crops, herbs, fruits and vegetables. What makes them different from other brands, is that they are free from pesticide residues, as they are grown using natural predators (ladybirds, not lions!) to see off the nasty crop-munching pests. This makes them slightly more expensive to buy than regular fruit and veg, but a similar price to organically-produced products.
The vine tomatoes and cucumber we tested looked pretty enough and tasted as good as any organic salad products we've eaten. I can't say that I would be prepared to pay the extra for them (having stopped receiving an organic box for cost reasons), but I would certainly prefer to see wide-spread use of this method of horticulture to help decrease both the price of pesticide-free fruit and vegetables and the use of pesticides in the UK. There is more information about the way Good Natured products are grown here.
Find Good Natured products in larger ASDA stores. Look out for the labelled products in green boxes.
Greek salad
- 1 small lettuce, washed and shredded
- ½ cucumber, cut in half and sliced
- 2 large vine tomatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 green pepper, sliced thinly
- ½ small onion, sliced thinly
- a handful of Greek olives
- 125g Greek feta cheese, sliced thickly
- dried oregano and olive oil to serve.
Scatter the remaining salad ingredients over. Top with the feta cheese and sprinkle of dried oregano. Drizzle a little olive oil over to serve.
Integrity Statement
I received a voucher towards the purchase price of Good Natured products. I was not required to write a positive review and the views expressed are genuinely those of myself and my family.

WASHINGTON (NNPA) – This week marks the 46th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, August 28, 1963. Nearly a half century since the march that drew more than 200,000 to Washington, D.C., Black activists confess they have changed their strategy in the wake of an African-American President, but they contend that their commitment remains the same.
"I think that some leaders are now reluctant to engage in public struggle because President Barack is in the White House. But, I would remind you that a public demonstration for justice would not be a march on the President. That would be unfair," said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, president and CEO the Chicago-based Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. "We supported Kennedy over Nixon, but we still had the march on Washington. We supported Johnson over Goldwater, but we still had the march on Selma."
Though public demonstrations by Black activists have been scaled back significantly since the election of America's first Black president, the intense focus on issues is still the same, Jackson says.
"In 1963, we were marching for the right to vote. Now we're marching to the polls by the millions all over the nation. Activism now is the election of city councils and state legislatures, Congress and President of the United States," Jackson says. "When you fight, you fight with the whole armor of God – litigation, legislation, registration, demonstration. All of those are forms of fighting….Even in 1963, we had won the '54 Supreme Court decision, the '55 Montgomery bus boycott, and students across the South marched on Selma. Even then, we used litigation, legislation, registration and demonstration. We've always used several forms of fighting."
Jackson admits that the current lack of street activism that had resurged during the eight years of the Bush Administration may be necessary to make ultimate progress on issues through the first four years of the Obama Administration.
"We have made milestones politically – two African-American governors and an African-American president – but, we still have a disproportionate number of infant mortality, shorter life expectancy, discrimination in hiring, in home foreclosures and in student loan debt. So, it's mid day in our politics, but mid night in our economy," Jackson says.
He was referring to the nation's jobless rate that has neared double digits while the Black unemployment rate has passed 14 percent and well above that for Black males.
Street demonstrations are not only still needed to fight remaining inequities, but to counteract the uprising of White-led right wing activism around the nation in the wake of health care legislation, Jackson says.
"The evidence of hostility is shown clearly in the town hall meetings", he says. "We are still fighting. But we're winning. The reason why the right wing is acting so hostile is because they are feeling desperate. They lost the White House. We won."
He concludes, "Our agenda has not changed. It's just that instead of having an adversary in the White House, we have an ally."
The National Urban League's Marc Morial agrees.
"We have to be fundamentally realistic. Our constituencies voted for this President … Black leadership's roll is to support the public policies that we believe will benefit our constituencies. I think we must realize that personality politics in my opinion are [unnecessary] when there's an opportunity to work along with a president for the shaping of public policy that benefits our community. Having said that, I believe it's important to recognize that Black leadership's roll is to hold every elected official accountable. And I sometimes wonder why people say we have to hold Obama accountable, when I don't hear that kind of conversation from some people about the Congress of the United States, congressional leadership, about the governors and the mayors."
Morial says it is much easier to work with a president who has been historically friendly toward civil rights and equality.
"Some of the fights and the pushing and the shoving takes place beyond the view of the media. In the previous administration, sometimes we had no choice but to hold press events, to write letters and to do things," Morial says. "There's an opportunity with this administration that if we access the system, if we push our agenda aggressively, if we seek to meet with and participate in shaping the public policy as some of us are. It's not just about what we say publicly. It's about what the results of the policies and the programs are."
Morial says he has been working with the Department of Labor on accessing green jobs and green job-training in the Black community in order to lower the Black unemployment rate.
Political observers have intently watched the first 200 days of the Obama presidency.
Dr. Julia Hare, co-founder of the San Francisco-based Black Think Tank says while Black leaders should not treat Obama any differently than the 43 White presidents who came before him, there does appear to be a need for more activism on economic equity.
"I don't believe they've become too soft on this president," she said. "They didn't press White presidents on issues such as 'draconian drug laws' and 'police profiling'."
But, Hare observes there has appeared to be a fear factor in Black leadership's reluctance to criticize the first Black president on issues such as the need to get economic stimulus dollars to the poor faster instead of to banks and financial institutions that caused the crisis.
"Some of them are terrified of being accused of being haters, jealous of the man," Hare said. "The financial crisis is killing people. And of course if it's making White people sick; then it is murdering Black people."
U. S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Cali.), chair of the Congressional Black Caucus which now has 17 subcommittee chairs and four full chairs in Congress, says the president is doing a remarkable job given all that's on his plate. She says it's a relief to not have to fight like they did with the Bush Administration.
"We met with the Attorney General Eric Holder. He gets it on mandatory minimum, on the devastation of this policy on African-American males in terms of crack cocaine and powder cocaine disparity. We're working on that, straight up, out front, we've talked to him about it and we're working on it. And there are many, many issues like that," she says. "So, this wouldn't have happened, I know, under a different administration. The president gets it. … When you look at what he's done already, it's just amazing."
She concludes that giving praise when politicians do right is just as important as criticizing them when something is done wrong.
"The positive is what we need to accentuate. We have a very forward-thinking, progressive, bold agenda and that's what we're working on in terms of the Congressional Black Caucus agenda, but also the president's agenda, which 99 percent of the time is in sync. So, I see us as being in partnership with members of Congress with the Executive Branch that speaks to the Black community, communities of color, but probably the whole country."

You will probably not hit this bug unless you perform some media recovery in 18.104.22.168/AIX.
Ok. In case you hit
ORA-10878: parallel recovery slave died unexpectedly during a DUPLICATE or a RESTORE command, you can disable parallel media recovery with
The usual warning applies : do not use hidden parameter without guidance of Oracle Support. Open an SR if you hit this bug. Check for a patch on your plateform. Read notes 9728806.8 and 315631.1.
Note: for a RECOVER, the option RECOVER NOPARALLEL must be safer. Unfortunately there is no such thing like DUPLICATE NOPARALLEL
Update: This could also happened with standby, if you have stopped your standby site for a while and after restart you get ORA-10878 and ORA-00448 and evtl core dumps or internal errors, then stop dataguard (set dg_broker_start to false) and start the recovery manually with the noparallel option, until all logs are applied. Once this is done, you can restart dataguard, which will then in normal operation mode apply only one log at the time.
