Second Chance Pitch Slam is here! Please read below for rules, and information on how to participate!
If you have already participated in Pitch Slam 2, Second Chance Pitch Slam is a chance to be seen and read again, only this time, by a group of great small presses interested in reading your work whether historical, contemporary, paranormal, science fiction or something of a mash-up! Judges hail from InkSpell Publishing, Tribute Books, Magpie Eclectic Press and Month9Books!
For a list of participating publisher bios, click here!
PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT, ADD PITCHES OR OTHERWISE UPDATE, DELETE, REMOVE, INCLUDE, ADD, REVISE, RESPOND, ETC. to any of the below pitches unless you are one of the participating judges. All of the rules of Pitch Slam 2 apply to Second Chance Pitch Slam. Please be sure to read the rules prior to posting. All comments not made by judges will be deleted.
If a judge/small press wants to see more of your submission, they will reply with a note asking you to send it. Judges may not comment on your submission, or they may give their opinion about how to improve. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, RHETORICAL QUESTIONS.
Judges will read your pitches July 1-14, 2012. For those of you who did not originally participate in Pitch Slam 2, you will have a chance again in September when we hold Pitch Slam 3.
Good luck!
The pitches will be 5-6 sentences in length and should be pasted in the COMMENTS section with your full name and title of the work. No pitch longer than 6 sentences will be considered. The pitch should give the reader an idea of what the story is about, including the major conflict. For example, below is a pitch for Harrry Potter.
"Harry Potter is the most miserable, lonely boy you can imagine. He's shunned by his relatives, and forced to live in the cupboard under the stairs. Harry's world gets turned upside down on his 11th birthday, when an invite to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry arrives. He learns of the evil Lord Voldemort who killed his parents, and then tried and failed to kill Harry when he was an infant. Harry later learns he was saved for a reason." -- from Wiki Summaries
Members will enter pitches beginning Monday May 28, 2012 at 9AM EST. You may post pitches (as many as you have) any time between Monday May 28, 2012 and Monday June 4, 2012. YOU MAY ONLY POST PITCHES FOR TITLES THAT ARE COMPLETE.
Agent judges may read and respond pitches at any time.
During the week of June 4-11 however, agent judges will read and respond to/comment on pitches.
Judges will be looking for their top 5 pitches (per judge). A total of TWENTY (there are 4 judges) members will have a chance to revise and resubmit based on agent feedback. These are the TWENTY finalists. You may ONLY revise and resubmit IF a judge requests that you do so in the comments they make to you. Judges are instructed to ignore any revise and resubs which have not been approved.
Upon completion of pitch review, judges will POST their top 5 pitches by author and title, establishing the top 20 finalists ON June 22 no later than 3PM EST. So be sure to check back then!
Once posted, those finalists will have a chance to revise and repost during the weekend of June 22-30, 2012.
Judges will review the revised pitches and choose 1 (each judge) as winners: 1. The best and 2. A second best, and 3. Runner up, by July 15.
The four who win the top designation will be awarded a full manuscript critique from whichever judge has chosen them. However, judges may request more than one manuscript from members of the top twenty, or from ANY pitch they like, regardless of whether the pitch itself made it into the top twenty.
Pitch Slam 2 Agent Judge Profiles
Tamar Rydzinski worked at Sanford J. Greenburger Associates prior to joining the Laura Dail Literary Agency. She graduated from Yeshiva University in 2003 with a major in literature and a minor in business.
Tamar is not interested in prescriptive or practical non-fiction, humor, coffee table books or children's books (meaning anything younger than middle grade). She is interested in everything else that is well-written and has great characters, including graphic novels. A fantastic query letter is essential – "you need to make me want to read your book, and be excited to read it," she says, "with those first couple of paragraphs."
Pam van Hylckama Vlieg joined Larsen Pomada as an Associate Literary Agent in 2012 to represent young adult and middle grade children's book authors. Over the past four years Pam has become one of the top YA book bloggers in the country at Bookalicious.org. She partners her blog with Hicklebee's, a children's bookstore in San Jose, CA.
Pam writes fantastical YA and MG fiction and is represented by Laurie McLean, also of Larsen Pomada Literary Agents. She lives in the Bay Area of California with her Dutch husband, two children--a boy and a girl the perfect set--a Jack Russell terrier, a bulldog puppy, and a small guinea pig. It is her greatest dream to own a menagerie.
Michelle Witte* is an agent at the Mansion Street Literary Agency. She is interested a variety of YA & MG fiction, including: Magical realism (think Sarah Addison Allen for teens/tweens), Obscure fairytale retellings (Just say no to 12 Dancing Princesses!), Fantasy, Supernatural (creatures you run from, not date), Sci-fi, Mystery/Suspense, Adventure, Contemporary realistic, Historical. Michelle is a bit weary of Paranormal Romance and Dystopian at the moment. She would love to find a great manuscript that is:
Elana Roth* is an agent at Red Tree Literary. She's a Brooklyn-based creative type, specifically of the word variety. After 4 years of agenting at other people's companies, she opened Red Tree Literary to continue working with a select list of children's and young adult authors on her own.
How she fell in love with children's content is a long story that begins by sheer dumb luck with an internship at Nickelodeon Magazine. Books followed when she began working as an editor at Parachute Publishing, where she spent 5 years learning the publishing ropes on series for kids of all ages (and that includes some adults). She switched to agenting in 2008.
Educationally, Elana is a graduate of Barnard College and the Jewish Theological Seminary, where she earned degrees in English literature and Bible. Surprisingly, it's that second degree which comes more in handy when trying to make conversation at cocktail parties.
* YALITCHAT.ORG member
Pitches are open to members of YALITCHAT.ORG, regardless of tier. Do encourage friends who aren't members to join, and pitch their Young Adult or Middle Grade titles.
DO pitch only Young Adult and Middle Grade titles. May be speculative, contemporary, historical, non-fiction.
DO test your pitch out in Query Kick-Around or First Pages for feedback from other YALITCHAT.ORG members.
DO have a friend or colleague read your pitch for clarity, spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
DO use as many lines are as needed to form a fully-realized pitch.
DO sample pitches online for the proper format. Google is your friend.
DO NOT present the same pitch more than once.
DO NOT delete a previous pitch that was commented on by an agent judge, because it had errors, and replace it with a new one. The new one will NOT be read.
DO NOT PITCH AGENTS OUTSIDE OF PITCH SLAM. That means, on twitter, on Facebook OR on YALITCHAT.ORG.
DO NOT RESPOND TO PITCHES thanking agents for commenting or asking for clarity. DO NOT RESPONG TO PITCHES AT ALL, UNLESS ASKED TO DO SO.
DO NOT pitch a title that has not been written, or in is the process of being written, or you are considering writing, etc. YOU MAY ONLY PITCH COMPLETED, fully revised, and edited titles.
DO NOT PLAGIARIZE another's idea, pitch or story, or in any way present it as your own. Our staff will troll the forum during pitch slam to remove and disqualify vastly similar stories.
DO NOT ask an agent judge about the status of your pitch.
DO NOT add anything other than your 6-line pitch to the comment, except your full name, work title, genre, category. For example: Georgia McBride, YA Fantasy, BEWARE THE GODS, Pitch: Greatest book ever written by a human. You know you want it.
DO NOT claim to have the greatest book ever, or that your title is like another well-published title. Just pitch your book.
DO NOT post questions or anything other than pitches in the comments section. DO NOT COMMENT ON OTHER pitches, or offer feedback or support below. COMMENTS ARE FOR JUDGES ONLY.
Wishing you all the best of luck. This forum will open for comments on Monday May 28, 2012. If you have any problems pitching, or posting, please contact member support at firstname.lastname@example.com, and someone will respond to your note within 48-hours.

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR PITCHES BELOW! Good luck!
If the agent/judge suggests changes or revisions to your pitch, that is an added bonus. DO NOT RESUB UNLESS THE AGENT/JUDGE ASKS FOR A REVISE AND RESUBMIT (R and R). Any resubmission made without request of the agent/judge will be deleted.
PLEASE DO NOT RESUBMIT unless you are asked to. You know when you are asked if an agent/judge says, "please revise and resubmit." DO NOT respond to questions asked which are based on the lack of clarity in your pitch. Agents/judges are asking these questions because they are trying to guide you toward resolving your pitch in a positive manner, suitable for submission to others. All responses that are not requested, will be deleted.
Additionally, 1 line is equal to 1 sentence. Computers are all different sizes. You cannot measure a line by how many appear on your computer screen. Again, 1 line=1 sentence. You may submit a pitch containing less than 6 lines, but not more than six lines or sentences. All pitches with more than 6 lines/sentences will be deleted.
Heather Hawke, A LEGACY OF FROST AND FIRE, MG SF/fantasy
Right after twelve-year-old Justin texts his friend, "Beat game. Blew everything up," a dragon hurtles out of a portal and sets his neighbor's house on fire. Incriminating evidence points to Justin, so he goes on the run and looks for an answer in the rubble of the blasted house. What he finds is a quest to return a dragon egg to its mother. On the other side of the portal, dragons are intelligent but near extinction – and the egg in Justin's hands is their last hope. Pursued by a dragon desperate to recapture the egg even though it would doom his kind, Justin must interpret texted clues to find the mother dragon. But if he can't reach her in time, dragons will go extinct and he will never see home again, not even juvenile hall.
This is fantastic. I would love to see the first 10 pages and a synopsis pasted into the body of an email to email@example.com.
Nice pitch, though I am confused about one point: Do dragons know how to text? If so, that's something to see. If not, it'd be good to make that sentence a bit clearer.
I agree with Michelle. Where are these texted clues coming from? I know this is a short pitch, so this is hard, but I think it would be great if you could add that little bit of information.
Based on the pitch alone, this reads like a weird mashup of items that don't really seem to go together in my head (texting + dragons = ?), but also feel too familiar to other notable projects I've seen before (Eragon).
Month9Books would love to read this. Please send your first 3 chapters to us at email@example.com with Yalitchat pitch slam in subject line. Please also send your original pitch. Thanks!
Magpie Eclectic Press would love to read this. Please send your original pitch, query, and the first three chapters of your manuscript (including the prologue if you have one) to email@example.com. Also, please include your name and contact information in the body of the email, and "Second Chance Pitch Slam" in the subject line. Thank you!

Sail-World.com : Formula Windsurfing World Championship set for Viganj
Formula Windsurfing World Championship set for Viganj
'Formula Windsurfing in Viganj'
Bofor Viganj
The 2013 'ESET NOD32 Antivirus' Formula Windsurfing World Championship is set to take place at Club Bofor, Viganj, Croatia from the eighth to 13th July and will be sponsored by NORT d.o.o. The venue is well-known to many racers, having hosted previous editions of the Croatian Open Championships. This year's event is also a stop on the 2013 European Cup Tour.
Viganj is a small tourist place on the peninsula of Peljesac, 6km from Orebic and about fifteen minutes by boat from Korcula. It is ideal place for swimming and all kind of water sports; and especially good for windsurfing -'Viganj is a good spot with 20 knots of seabreeze every day. In July works like a watch!'
Peljesac is a great Peninsula in the south of Croatia. Nearly at the very end of this peninsula, on the see-coast of Adriatic see, is situated a village Viganj. Everybody who has good knowledge of the Adriatic coast can confirm that this part of Croatia belongs between the most wonderful places. Peljesac peninsula is about 80 Km long, with mostly rocky coast, romantic bays and high mountains. The highest mountain of Peljesac is Sv. Ilja with altitude 961 m. Below this mountain and on the coast is the Orebic - not very large historical town.
'If we continue from Orebic in our journey, we reach after approximately 6Km our village in Viganj - a place with its own specific friendly atmosphere, place where the people are going back for their whole life.'

Christmas is No Time for an Iranian Revolution
In an effort to halt Iran's nuclear program, Washington and the West have been ramping up the pressure with sanctions and threats of war. None of it will work. The Green Movement has been vanquished, and the country -- both its leadership and its people -- are poised not for revolution, but more of the same.
HOOMAN MAJD is the author, most recently, of The Ayatollah's Democracy: An Iranian Challenge.
An annotated Foreign Affairs syllabus on Iranian politics.
Holiday shopping in Tehran. (Morteza Nikoubazl / Courtesy Reuters)
It was Christmastime in Tehran, and forecasters were predicting another early snow. On a cold day last December at the bazaar in Tajrish, the wealthy historic neighborhood in northern Tehran, shoppers avoided the exposed alleyway stalls and instead headed for the warmth of the nearby mini-malls, which were as overheated as any in the United States. Inside one, kids gathered around the window of a Christmas shop to gaze at the ornaments and plastic Santas inside. A few other shops also had Christmas decorations -- perfectly legal in the Islamic Republic, even if the religious authorities frown on them. Christians are free to celebrate as they wish -- there are even Christmas trees for sale on the sidewalks in the Armenian neighborhoods of Tehran.
The decorations contrasted sharply with the thousands of black and green "Ya Hossein" flags fluttering outside virtually every street-side shop, celebrating Shia Islam's Imam. There were the vans and cruisers of the Gasht-e Ershad, the morality police, who guard Persian society from sartorial affronts to Islam. This year they extended their unwelcome presence well into the winter months (they normally appear in the spring, when coats come off for the season, and are gone by the early summer), lest a stray strand of hair poke from underneath a woman's scarf, or, worse yet, her coat not quite reach her knees.
So it was Christmas, but it was also Moharram, the Arabic name for the month in which Hossein, the grandson of the prophet Muhammad and patron saint of Shias, was martyred in Karbala. It is the most holy month for Shias, celebrating as it does their most venerated saint, whose martyrdom is their very raison d'être. As some Iranians went about their daily business, shopping for food and household items, the more pious attended mosques for mourning ceremonies -- rites that for hundreds of years nothing, not even international crises, revolutions, or the winds of war could prevent, much less interrupt. And this year Iran indeed faced a mounting international crisis. Over the last year, the West had ratcheted up pressure to combat the country's nuclear program, but still, its virulent rhetoric, increased sanctions, and even covert action had not changed Tehran's plans.
From the very beginning of the revolt in the Middle East, Riyadh has reached beyond its borders to influence events. So far, the kingdom has successfully outmaneuvered its rival Iran. Democracy, meanwhile, hasn't even qualified as an afterthought.
Yesterday's announcement of a plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States is just the latest story in the struggle now unfolding between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Opponents of military action against Iran assume a U.S. strike would be far more dangerous than simply letting Tehran build a bomb. Not so, argues this former Pentagon defense planner. With a carefully designed attack, Washington could mitigate the costs and spare the region and the world from an unacceptable threat.

LETTER | Reader disagrees with Jan. 11 editorial on guns
January 25, 2013 · 2:45 PM
I disagree with your editorial (Jan. 11) supporting the National Rifle Association's response to the Newtown tragedy which proposes that we turn our schools into armed encampments. What does it say to a child when the mentor leaning over her to help with a math problem has a gun at her side? How does a teacher communicate values of citizenship and cooperation while his armament suggests that the final arbiter of human interaction is violence?
You rightly noted: "We can't predict…when or where a shooting will take place." We must acknowledge therefore, that arming teachers will not "ensure" safety in our schools. Rather we must work towards a society that minimizes both the desire and the opportunity to wreak such havoc on our fellow citizens.
This is more complex than simply asserting that there are "bad guys" and "good guys." Much gun violence occurs accidentally or when "good" people experience too much stress such as children accidentally killing themselves or others with a parent's gun or soldiers "cracking" and using their military training to murder innocent civilians or their fellow soldiers. Any resolution not only needs to keep guns out of the hands of the "bad guys" but also to address the ease of accessibility of lethal weaponry which frequently causes harm at the hands of otherwise "good" people.
This task may well include challenging the entertainment industry to examine the impact that some of its products may have on desensitizing people—especially impressionable youth and those struggling with mental/emotional issues—to the true horror of killing and violence.
America stands as a grand experiment in the value of self-governance. Our Bill of Rights serves as a clarion call to the best in the human endeavor. Surely we can discover ways to safeguard the hard-won rights articulated in the 2nd Amendment while addressing the lethality of the armaments developed since our founders enshrined those rights in our constitution. It is difficult to understand the need for some of the types of guns and ammunition that are currently being marketed by the arms industry. We need more than platitudes such as, "When guns are outlawed…"
Are we not self-assured enough of our rights and trusting in the essential beneficence of our government to have an honest discussion about this?
Newtown reminds us that gun violence is a serious problem that requires a cooperative effort to resolve. I hope it will motivate us to undertake this task so that those lovely innocents will not have died in vain.

"We've had a great success in our first year," Redding said. "I attribute all our success to the Lord, but at the same time, he's surrounded us with great people."
The venue does have a lot to brag about in its one year in operation: It has hosted 30 shows and more than 20,000 patrons; welcomed national renowned performers, such as Toby Keith, Ricky Skaggs, Alabama and Steven Curtis Chapman; hosted nationally recognized musicals "Veggie Tales Live!" and "Smoke on the Mountain;" and begun plans for the Harold Shedd Music Gallery.
"We've been on a steep learning curve," said Redding, owner of R.K. Redding Construction Company of Bremen. "We had to start from a dead stop [...] but we've had great marketing support, great support from volunteers and the surrounding community. And we've had the most encouraging and positive feedback from the community and the artists themselves."
Redding says he and his staff have worked diligently to make both patrons and performers feel at home at Mill Town. The venue can hold 1,000 people, which is plenty of room for a large crowd; however, it's much cozier than the large Atlanta venues that hold roughly 20,000.
"When Amy Grant was on stage, she said she liked the intimate feel of [the venue]," Redding said. "I've been really blown away by the artists' reactions."
Of course, the Mill Town staff also works to make the artists feel welcome back stage.
"My wife created the Green Room so artists would have a place to relax back stage," Redding said. "We cater food for them so they can have a nice meal; we help them unload their trucks. We want it to be a positive experience for not only the patrons but also the visiting performers."
And that attention to detail seems to be paying off as the venue continues to attract big names in country, gospel and bluegrass music. In fact, Redding expects more Nashville-quality acts to head to Bremen this year.
"We're beginning to get calls from further and further away from other artists, and even venues wanting to share talent."
But Redding says that's not all fans have to look forward to this year. Plans are underway to open the Harold Shedd Music Mill Gallery in spring, which will serve as a tourist attraction celebrating renowned music producer and Bremen native Harold Shedd as well as local music history.
"People in Nashville love Harold," Redding said. "The artists he's helped over the years want to give back and say thank you, and being a part of this is another way they can do that."
Redding says he looks forward to the rest of 2013 as he and the Mill Town staff are looking to make this year even better than last.
"We're just getting used to a typical show night," Redding said. "But now that we know what needs to be done, we want to continue to grow and make it better. We want to provide the best possible night of entertainment and family enjoyment for those coming in both the front and the back door. At R.K. Redding, we understand that our client is our most valuable asset. We want to do what's best for them and make them happy. Whether you're building buildings or providing entertainment, it all goes back to the same philosophy."
For their anniversary weekend, Mill Town plans on hosting the Triumphant Quartet, The Isaacs and The Diplomats Feb. 1 and 2. Check out their web site, www.milltownmusichall.com, for more information.

Remember her niece, Mukta Bhakta has trouble holding back the tears.
"She was the first child in the family," she says. "When Suhani was born, I felt like I became a mother."
Suhani Bhakta was 12 years old when she died last Sunday. She was crossing Broadway when she was struck and killed by a police vehicle. She was not in the crosswalk. Officials say a near-by SUV was probably blocking the officer's view.
"I'm going to miss all those Mother's days she called me to say 'HappyMother's Day, Aunt.'"
Currently using lights and sirens is based on a police policy. After a similar incident in 2009, Eyewitness News found out the policy states officers can turn their lights and sirens on when going to a call to protect lives, during a chase with a suspect or when pulling people over. Police say they review their policies every year. When asked Friday if it's been updated or revised, we were told that information could only be released by the Police Chief.
The family is supporting a petition urging police to change the policy, requiring officers to use the lights and sirens when going to a crime scene. The petition is also asking that to become a city law.
The Highway Patrol continues to investigate the accident.

E L M LYNBROOK MALVERNE EAST ROCKAWAY VOL. 10 NO. 34 Entered Second-Class Matter Post Office, Lynbrook, N.Y. LY 3-1300 THE FAMILY NEWSPAPER Thursday, January 14,1971 10< Two Candidates For Mayor Claim "Home Party" Endorsement Flagpole Donated For Patrick Heniy Park Left to Right: Deputy Mayor Kurt Arndt/ Trustee William Buzzeo, Mayor Francis X. Becker and Trustee William O'Brien look on as Mr. & Mrs. August Ulm unveil the plaque which reads "In Loving Memory of our Son, Lee A, Ulm." Mr. Ulm in 1970 was named "Lynbrook Citizen r ' ^ " flagpole in Patrick Henry Park is a memorial to their son. CONGRESSMAN-ELECT NORMAN F. LENT (standing) and his staff meet with constituent Mrs. Charles Staudenmaier of Lynbrook at Lent's new Con-g^ ressional office at 53 No. Park Ave., Rockville Centre. Assisting are Mrs. Carolyn Langford, Secretary (left) and Mr. Robert Roman (right)# District Representative. Lent invites 5th District residents to call 5o6-2121 if I may be of help with personal or community affairs. he The Home Party of Lynbrook, Inc. announced its candidates for Mayor and Trustees in the Village of Lynbrook election on March 16. 1971. The candidates of the Home Party are Thomas A, Rice for Mayor, Mrs. Benay Phillips and Salvatore Martino for Trustees. Michael Kostyrka, founder of the Home Party in 196$, also an-nounced his candidacy for Mayor under the Home P a i ^ banner. Thomas A. Rice, a long-time resident of Lynbrook, is active in various civic organizations and its causes. He has a Masters degree in Business Administra-tion and is particularly interested In Lynbrook Village financial problems. Mrs. Benay Phillips, a life-long resident of Lynbrook is known for her many and varied community activities. Salvatore J, Martino, a resident of Lyn-brook for 38 years is well known for his work as President of the West Lynbrook Association, a post he has held for over 2 1/2 years; and for his active mem-bership in the American Legion Post #335 and other organizations in L ^ r o o k , The candidates will soon announce their platform called "Program For Pro-gress.' Mr. Kostyrka's platform will stress the present administration as liberal spenders. He plans to open his campaign headquarters by February 1 st. Thomas A. Rice Mobile Registration Vans To Schools Noting the small number of youths who have attempted to register under provisions of the 18-year-old vote ruling of the U.S, Supreme Court, Hempstead Town Supervisor Alfonse M. D*- Amato today called on the Nassau Board of Elections to dispatch mobile registration vans to every high school and college in the county. In letters to Elections Com-missioners William Meisser (Republican) and Marvin Cristen-feld (Democrat), D'Amato said this time of year is tailor made for such a program. "We're months away from the busy pre-election registration period," he said. "This is the logical time to encourage these young people to become a vital part of the electoral process. We must move affirmitively and decisively if we are to fulfill the spirit of the court ruling." One registration van visiting a different school each day could cover the entire county in just a few months, D'Amato said. Elections officials estimate that 40,000 Nassau youths are eligible to register, but as of Wed., Jan. 6, only 166 had availed themselves of the opportunity. The U,S. Supreme Court has lowered the voting age for federal elections to 18. Since the first federal election will take place in November, 1972, youths who turned 16 on or before last Nov. 1 are eligible to register. Students Demand Release Of Political Prisoners Members of Nassau County Young Americans for Freedom are demanding the release of American political prisoners who are being held in Communist prisons. This outcry stemmed from the arrest of Mark Huessy, an American student who was studying in East Germany. Huessy was arrested for "crit-icizing" East Germany and "try-ing to convince other persons of his viewpoint." On Friday, September 25, Mark Huessy was sentenced to seven years In prison by an East German court. His sentence, according to one source, was without parallel in recent years. Edward J. Martin, Nassau YAF chairmafi, requested "all Ameri-cans to show a demonstration of faith in the right of free speech by sending letters to President Nixon urging him to put the resources of the United States government behind getting Mark Huessy and other American political prisoners out of East German and Communist prisons.

Hello Everyone!
You all know my love for accessories. One of the brands that come to mind when I think about eclectic products to the high street finds is Accessorize. Walking through the store literally takes you on a trip through a magically diverse world of accessorizing. This week Stilettos Diary collaborates with one of my favorite accessories shop Accessorize.
I don't think I need to formally introduce Accessorize India. Tucked away in one corner of Orion Mall, you will find Accessorize shop. I don't know why every time I see Accessorize it reminds me of Harry Potter! Strange right? The shop is so colorful and the display is vibrant, I get transported to my magical world of accessories. I thought this week I will dedicate post to those "little things" we use to accessorize every day looks. Moreover, these accessories can be styled with Indian as well as western outfits.
I choose these owl pendant and earrings set because they are great transition pieces. You can stack together few chains or just wear single chain to make a statement. Owl with polka dot feather (polka dots did it for me, isn't it adorable?. The evil eye bracelets are great for causal, work and party wear. Wear it to office as a delicate bracelet, causally with jeans stacking up more arm candy or work to a party with more rhinestone embellished bracelets. The ethnic bag is a must have this summer. White dress, ethnic bag, rhinestone earrings and sandals screams summer! The best part about this bag it goes well with western, indo-western outfits as well. Lastly, I choose fox and stone ring to complete my "little things" set. What do you think of my picks from Accessorize India and check out how I styled it HERE! Also find few of my other favorite picks from the store.
Do let me know which is your favorite pick and how you would style it.

Brewers Trade Greinke to Angels

In medieval Norway the basis for agriculture was poor. Many people lived on the coast and boat building skills were easily the best in Europe. The result was voyages of discovery, trade and brutal raids. The voyages began in the latter part of the eighth century and stretched from Greenland in the west to the Caspian Sea in the east.
The Vikings built longships with broad, flat-bottomed hulls. These ships were perfect for use in shallow coastal waters and up rivers. The Vikings could easily reach far into foreign lands.
To begin with only a few made the voyages, but the fleet gradually grew until there were hundreds of longships sailing to England, Scotland, France and Ireland.
The Vikings came as pirates to plunder and kill. Their reputation spread terror along most of Europe's coasts. But their posthumous reputation is not quite fair. They were not just ruthless warriors but also skilled traders and administrators.
The Vikings founded a number of cities and colonies, including Dublin and Normandy. Between the years 879 and 920 they colonised Iceland, which in turn became the springboard for the colonisation of Greenland.
By the 1100s the Vikings were weakened by domestic unrest. At the same time many other European countries were becoming stronger and more difficult targets.
We date the end of the Viking age from the fall of Harald Hardråde, when he unsuccessfully tried to conquer England in 1066.

To start your day right, you need a new breakfast model, one that fits your busy lifestyle and provides the energy you need to sustain that life.
Fiber first
Breakfast is the best time to get the whole grains and fiber your body needs. Dietary fiber comes in two varieties. Both are good for you:
Fiber also protects the heart and is associated with a lower risk of diabetes and stroke. One study showed that for each 10-gram increase in your daily fiber intake, the risk of heart disease dropped by 19%.
Here are some great breakfast options and their fiber content:
High in insoluble fiber | Serving Size | Grams |
All-Bran cereal | 1/3 cup | 8.5 |
Bran Chex cereal | 2/3 cup | 4.6 |
Prunes | cooked, 1 cup | 14.0 |
Raisin Bran cereal | 3/4 cup | 4.8 |
Whole-wheat bread | 1 slice | 1.9 |
High in soluble fiber | Serving Size | Grams |
Apple | 1 medium | 3.0 |
Oat Bran | 1/3 cup raw | 4.9 |
Pear | 1 medium (with skin) | 4.3 |
Strawberries | 1 cup | 3.9 |
Most high-fiber cereals are made with wheat bran, which is rich in insoluble fiber. Oats are an excellent source of soluble fiber, though many oat cereals contain only a trace of oat bran fiber, the part that really counts.
Choose a cereal that has no fat (or very little). This means many so-called healthy granola cereals are out. Choose a cereal with less than 10 grams of sugar per serving.
Note: It may take a while for your gut to get used to a high-fiber breakfast cereal. If intestinal gas is a problem, start with ˝ sized portions.
Breads and spreads: An occasional treatIf you use breakfast spreads, here's some advice:
A Harvard study concluded that eating an average of one egg per day is unlikely to have substantial overall impact on the risk of heart attack or stroke in otherwise healthy people.

What was the name of Ashley Simpson's song? - Kelly Rowland Dishes On Being Envious Of Beyonce & Her Abusive Relationship On New Track 'Dirty Laundry'
Kelly put that thang on this song! Seriously, I am so proud of her. I have been SO over her music lately because it was becoming redundant (all about sex). But being honest in her music is EXACTLY what she needed and this is by far the very BEST song she has ever had!This song is so relatable on so many levels. How many times have our girlfriends gotten married, had a baby, or gotten that promotion – and although we loved them dearly, we struggled to be happy for them? It's reality sometimes. We still support them. We participate in the wedding, we go to the baby showers, and we watched them be successful in their careers while waiting for OUR turn. And then we feel bad for being jealous.
The Beyonce stans really don't need to hop on this like, "I KNEW IT!" and "Who wouldn't be envious of Beyonce?"This record proves that Kelly is HUMAN – and not that her main characteristic is jealousy or envy. And it takes A LOT of strength for her to do this.
But is the guy she sings about Roy Williams? Who else did she date that we know of? I tell you this: If transparency is the theme for Kelly's album, I'm THERE FOR IT!!!

I wouldn't exactly say it's a secret, but I'm a bit of a closet audiophile. I've reviewed a couple of audio products for Android devices in the past (like portable speakers and headphones), and am always interested in Android-friendly sound solutions.
Today, I'm taking a look at the Philips Fidelio AS851 (yes, that is kind of a lame name), Philips' top-of-the-line Android speaker dock. How can a speaker dock be designed for Android, you ask? Well, Philips realized that their popular line of iPhone docks could pretty easily be converted to be Android friendly by changing the dock connector to a microUSB connection, and releasing the Fidelio app for Android handsets.

Stocks Fall for Second Straight Day
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Major U.S. equity indices slumped for a second straight day Thursday after jobless claims rose and data on general business conditions came in soft. Stocks also suffered from Wednesday's selloff that had resulted from the Federal Reserve's release of the minutes from its January meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 47 points, or 0.3%, to 13,881.
Breadth within the Dow was negative, with losers outpacing winners 21 to nine. Bank of America (BAC) , Intel (INTC) and Home Depot (HD) led decliners on the blue-chip index.
Boeing (BA) , Wal-Mart (WMT) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) were the top gainers.
Boeing is expected to detail Friday its plan to return the grounded Dreamliner jet to service, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. Shares added 1.7%.
Wal-Mart announced quarterly earnings from continuing operations of $1.67 a share on revenue of $127.1 billion. Analysts expected profit of $1.57 a share on revenue of $128.9 billion. Shares of the world's largest retailer tacked on 1.5%.
Hewlett-Packard reported a profit of 82 cents a share on revenue of $28.4 billion. Analysts predicted the tech company would post earnings of 71 cents a share on revenue of $27.79 billion during its fiscal first quarter. Shares increased more than 5% in after-hours trading.
Volumes were heavy on the exchanges as investors traded 4.23 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange and 2.04 billion shares on the Nasdaq. Decliners were ahead of advancing issues by a 2.2-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 2.3-to-1 ratio on the tech-heavy index.
The S&P 500 shed 10 points, or 0.6%, to 1,502. The Nasdaq fell 33 points, or 1%, to 3,131.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) slipped 0.6% on Thursday after Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn hosted a conference call about the iPhone manufacturer's proposal to eliminate preferred stock.

"Hi Diane! I was just lucky to find your site. I have 5 kids and have given 4 of them anniversary plates on their 10th anniversaries. Three of them came from an artist who has gone out of the business and the 4th one requested the password to my email account to place an order! There is no way I would give this info to anyone! So I spent several hours browsing other sites until I came to yours and found exactly what I wanted. Your site looked secure, was easy to navigate and had what I wanted. I also like your article about the history of your company – and the price was right! So , thanks, I am looking forward to seeing my son and daughter-in-law's plate hanging in their kitchen.

The author of this article, Peter Rees, has known Paul for many years, since he was one of his tutors for the Post Grad. Diploma in Marketing.
This post contains the 1st section of a 2 part interview.
Here are a few details of his remarkable career…
PR Smith MBA, PG Dip (Fin), B.Sc. (mngt), Diploma in Marketing
Paul has helped hundreds of companies from innovative SMEs to IBM via his consultancy and seminars and thousands of companies via his books.
A Dubliner, based in London, Paul's marketing consultancy integrates basic marketing with cutting edge social media, digital body language, virtual worlds and creative thinking. Paul works in both B2B and B2C markets in Europe, USA, China and Africa. Paul's SOSTAC ® Planning System is used around the world and his books are published in seven languages. Paul is author of Strategic Marketing Communications; Great Answers to Tough Marketing Questions, eMarketing eXcellence, Marketing Communications – a 'marketing major' (Chart. Inst. Marketing) and his own (self published) personal passion and social media campaign to get sportsmanship back on the agenda, www.GreatMomentsOfSportsmanship.com.
1. You are perhaps best known for the excellent SOSTAC ® marketing planning methodology and model that you developed. Can you say how it came to be developed? Why do you think it has such a broad following and such wide usage?
Although SOSTAC® is so simple it actually took me almost 10 years to develop. When I took my MBA back in the 80s I was so frustrated reading books with long meandering marketing plans that were over complicated and impossible to remember. So I kept in touch with my classmates and asked them to send me just the contents page (list of contents) from their marketing plans.
I analysed all of them and developed my own new structure – which went through several iterations until I came up with SOSTAC®. I knew it was a winner and registered it as a trademark.
Everyone is welcome to use it – all I ask is that they acknowledge me as the inventor, use the registered trade mark symbol and put a link to my web site www.PRSmith.org (ideally using the anchor text SOSTAC ® as the anchor text (or the blue hyperlink text).
Situation Analysis (where are we now?)
Objectives (where do we want to go?)
Strategy (how do we get there)
Tactics (the details of Strategy – marketing mix etc.)
Action (the details of tactics- who does what)
Control (measurement)
That is why it is so simple – it's easy to use, has a strong logical structure and can be adapted to any plan – whether a business plan, marketing plan, social media marketing plan, personal plan etc.
Add the 3M resources and you've got an outline plan. I'm developing some SOSTAC® eWorkBooks & Planning templates to be released this September.
2. How well do you think marketers perform Marketing Planning, especially in the emergent area of Digital Marketing? How can they improve their performance here?
Strategy is a common weakness in many plans. In fact, a few years ago I co-authored a book about Marketing Communications Strategy and discovered that a lot of companies do not have any crystal clear, razor sharp strategies.
To get a good strategy several options should be considered before selecting the final strategy. If the strategy is wrong everything else is wrong. As Kenichi Ohmae once said to me 'There's no point rowing harder, if you are rowing in the wrong direction.'
Key components for strategy include: STOP & SIT – Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning linked to Objectives and Sequence, Integration and Tools.
With digital marketing strategy, deciding which tools to use and how much resource to allocate is particularly challenging. I suggest you allocate budgets according to where your audience is (online or offline). And also consider constant testing i.e. testing and measuring reactions to different tools and offers.
This is why digital marketing actually gets easier as everything is easily memorable and easily changeable. However, social media is not a short term campaign, it takes time to build a following and then even more time to maintain it with great, relevant, content and, most importantly – engagement.
Highly engaged small number of followers is better than a disengaged massive following. Ask your followers what they want. The will tell you. Then deliver it. Digital marketing naturally creates customer driven businesses. Marketing utopia – which is fully explained in the the FREE Download Chapter 1 of my 5th ed. Marketing Communications – integrating offline and online with social media today from my PRSmith Marketing facebook page PR Smith web site.
3. I believe the new 5th edition of your book 'Marketing Communication' is available soon. What has changed since previous versions? How have your ideas developed?
Four new chapters: New marketing (integrating social media into processes); Brands; CRM and the final chapter is about Web Sites and Social Media. As in previous editions, the first half is about the background to comms i.e customer psychology, communications models, comms agencies, planning etc., while the second half addresses each of the 10 comms tools online and offline.
I also introduce the Ladder Of Engagement which, I hope, helps people to put a simple structure on an often chaotic social media world. It also helps marketers to choose different strategic levels of engagement with their customers according to their resources available. All of this is downloadable as a free chapter from my facebook page PR Smith Marketing facebook page or my PRSmith.org web site for a few months.

"The Tale of the Phenomenal Ingenue"
I absolutely loved everything about this book, including Janis's awesome and honest narration. She uses her stunning voice to sing the listener in to each new life chapter. Her words paint pictures, her voice sounds heavenly. GREAT story of a hard-working optimist.
"Triumph Over Tragedy Never Sounded So Good"
First, this is the best narration performance I've ever, Ever, EVER heard. Kristen's sultry, rich, expressive voice is ahhhmmaaazzzing... I wouldn't care if she was reading the yellow pages; this girl could make anything sound interesting and entertaining. Couple her better than Bacall voice with the story of her life, a crazy life (and she's only 45), with no fear, no holding back, spilling her GUTS - it is perfection. Creatively told, cleverly written and thoroughly engaging. I can't say enough about this book and I'm convinced that hearing it makes the experience complete. Kristen should read every book ever committed to audio.
"Loved Every Minute"
Audible gave this book to me as a free gift. I check out these free offerings with a heavy dose of 'doubt I'll listen to the whole book'. So, imagine my surprise when I became completely engrossed by these treasured stories told first-hand by their owners, ranging from beautiful to heart-wrenching and poignant. I drove to my destination alternating between hearty laughs and uncontrollable tears streaking my cheeks. I made myself late for my dinner date because I had to sit in the car to finish. I listened again on the return trip and bookmarked a story to share with my husband when I got home. Every remarkable story is about love, either shared, lost or its uncertain future. Wow. Just wow.
"I Don't Care About How Much You Hate Men"
No one can argue that Julie Klausner is an intelligent, extremely gifted, clever lady with anecdotes for days about her dating follies, or should I say foibles. Having my own series of comical dating missteps, there were plenty of times throughout this book that I could completely identify and I laughed heartily at her sassy quips. But then, she takes unexpected turns down dark alleys and gets reeeealllllly candid; it gets twisted and uncomfortable and I can't wait until she redirects out of her hate rant. Hey, I have horror stories too, but hers seem out of place in this mostly comedic account of her dating life. Sometimes it is downright painful to listen to the jabs she takes at her (likely unwitting) suitors, but more troubling is comprehending the self-inflicted jeopardy she routinely deposited herself in. I guess I appreciate her utter honesty, but I can't decide if all of it should have been contained in one book; it can be jarring. The thing that bugged me the most was her abhor and contempt for the men she loved so quickly, and then turned on like a viper when things didn't work out quite like she planned. She was such a WILLING victim, I feel a good portion of the poop soup was made with her own hands. At the end of the day, love is worth it, if you stop picking the low-hanging fruit and realize you can reach for more.
"Opportunistically Speaking"
I'll start with I love an accent and had zero trouble listening to this book. I'm always happier when a writer can narrate their own book, because it brings authenticity. I also appreciate when a writer is in over their head and calls in a pro. Not the case, Greg Smith can read his own book.
I really enjoyed this book initially. South African boy does good, wins scholarship to Stanford, procures Wall Street Internship and amazing career ensues. Greg gave enough insight and definition to his (complicated) work, so a novice could follow along and not get bored or overwhelmed with jargon. I felt like I learned things and even found myself making the hand gestures to buy and sell, like I was standing on 'the floor' (people driving by just thought I was nuts).
My problem is Greg comes across as a lily-white, do-gooder surrounded by blood-sucking heathens. It just doesn't feel genuine when you elevate yourself at the expense of others. He was the only good guy in a sea of scum... right (said sarcastically). He writes openly about his peer's weaknesses, his superior's faults and personality quirks even about hanging out with strippers in a hot tub in Vegas with his GS bretheren (whatever happened to what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?). He burnt people to write this book all the while he is portraying himself as saint. He totally covered his own a## and made a premeditated exit from GS, while simultaneously ripping the rug out from the company that took VERY good care of him for 10 years. It feels kind of gross and disingenuous. I ended up not liking this guy.
Listen, I LOVE a juicy tell-all and I still respect people I've admired if I learned they've done something outside of my moral boundaries. I just think this guy saw an opportunity... that is it precisely... Greg Smith comes of as an opportunistic jerk and by the end of this book I stopped caring about what he had to say.
"Stiff if right..."
I'm a forensic/true crime enthusiast, which is embarrassing in and of itself to admit (I always feel like it is a seedy and depraved appendage of my life) ANYHOW... this book was impossible to get through. The narration is monotone, jarring and annoying, the story is boring and lacks anything to make me commit to it... and I was only listening.
"Naive girl..."
We all make mistakes when we are young, so I can see how she worked for a "business" whose practices didn't end up meshing with moral beliefs. However, this girl (she seems remarkable immature and naive) found her career turned upside-down because one day she unexpectedly participated in an (ultra-sound guided) abortion, in a clinic she MANAGED. She really didn't understand what they were doing behind closed doors until 7 years later!? She worked there for 8 years. Her excuses were heavily-religious themed and conspiracy based... I bailed about halfway through the book because her narration was too wide-eyed and whiny. LAME.
"LOVED it Twice"
I enjoyed this book so much, I listened to it twice. I've never done that before. Scott Shepherd sounds just like Sammy - INCREDIBLE narration. What a life, Sammy! He is the living representation of what a can-do attitude can accomplish.
"I Got on an Emotional Rollercoaster w. M. Doughty"
You know how it feels to find out a person you've exalted is, well, only human? When you actually make their acquaintance, the air of mystery is dissolved and the unique, impossibly cool person you imagined is really kind of a jerk? I had that exact reaction listening to this book...
I consider myself equally a fan of Soul Coughing (I'm not supposed to say that, Doughty HATES it) and Doughty's solo work. I found both of them at roughly the same time, so I gave the music equal consideration and was not put off by the vast differences. Regardless, you do not have to be a fan of either to enjoy this book, which is a bunch of raw, exposed nerves I found impossible to put down. This biography is equal parts maddening frustration (repeated self-imposed torture at the hands of others & himself) and pure entertainment - I loved it.
Super glad Doughty decided to read it himself, because he reads in succinct defiant bursts, which really lends itself well to the overall experience.
So while I'll probably never make Doughty's real acquaintance, this was enough of a glimpse into his life for me to know we're not meant to be friends (I feel he hurts people's feelings too easily and I'm just a sensitive girl). I still admire his talent, intelligence, determination and ability to save his own life. Sad to find out about the horrific dysfunction of the band during its 7 year life (and sad to learn what a bunch of DBs the guys in the band were to each other), but most marriages end in divorce too... even though Soul Coughing never even had a honeymoon.
"Rob Lowe is my Friend"
WONDERFULLY narrated! Rob Lowe's life (to date) story is intelligently crafted, full of fun, honesty, is detailed, but concise. I would never label myself a Lowe 'fan', nor do I go nuts for famous people (because the reality is usually horribly disappointing), but after listening to this book, my affection for Rob Lowe has grown exponentially - I know we could be friends.
