A primitive knife for the caveman in all of us…Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
SOG has built a reputation for themselves in the knife industry, and for good reason. They make a lot of good knives. They are also one of the many knife companies that subscribe to the idea of "tacticool" knife design. Meaning, they don't just focus on making good tactical knives, but that they also try to give them some sex appeal too.
In general I cannot really complain about this way of thinking. Personally, I grade all of my blades on both functionality and aesthetics. I like knives that not only work well, but look cool. And being dead sexeh, or simply evil looking, certainly doesn't hurt their grade in my book. 😀
However some folks occasionally tend to take it just a little bit too far…
Folks, meet Bob. Say hi Bob! My friend Bob here, is a SOG Fusion Jungle Primitive. "Wassat?" you say? Well, he's a cave man. Or a cave knife. Actually a Cro-Magnon or prehistoric modern knife, to be exact. Yep. Prolly ought to be in a museum. With all the other primitive knives. But here he is. Looking us right in the eye, and trying to establish alpha knife dominance over the lowly pocket knives we all happen to be carrying. A modern day barbarian. Heh.
LOL OK, yes, perhaps I'm being a little mean. But it's all in the name of a little fun. I don't really mean anything by it. 🙂 The SOG jungle primitive is not actually a bad knife. In fact I think that, apart from one or two features that are minor pet peeves, it's actually a great knife. I think they just kinda took the tacticool thinking to a bit of a new level. But not actually in an entirely bad way either.
Lets start with the kraton grip, which should be fairly grippy, even in adverse conditions. SOG went one better by molding an artistic faux knurling to the pattern of the kraton grip, (which they are calling a "Digi-Grip"… go figure) that gets irregular at the top and bottom. Nice touch actually. The shape of the grip is also very nice, with a decent guard at the top, and ridges at the bottom and top of the inside curves to help increase traction. The pommel, protruding from the grip of this full tang blade has been given a small saw tooth finish. This, I am on the fence about, for reasons I'll get to later.
The blade on the Jungle Primitive just drips with that second kind of cool (aka Tacticool). The blade is a large 9.5 in clip point, with lots of belly, a good combination for a survival blade. Just above the grip, the first inch and a half of the blade sports a serrated edge. Just above the grip, on the spine, we have a thumb recess with the same saw tooth pattern used on the pommel. Above that, a cute little divot for who knows what. And above that, we have my main pet peeve; a section of rearward facing saw teeth. Lots more on those later.
Obviously, this knife was designed with optimal grip for both gloved and bare handed users in mind. The size and the shape of the little saw teeth both on the thumb section on the spine, and on the pommel pretty much make that fairly clear. However I tend to think the design is perhaps biased a little too much towards the gloved users. The serrations seem overly large, like they would actually become tiresome against a bare thumb over long periods of use.
But that could just be me being a wuss. The other thing, is that the same pattern on the pommel makes sense if the knife is going to be used in a reverse "ice pick" grip, with the thumb over the pommel. Again, the saw teeth would provide added purchase for your gloved thumb, but would probably become very irritating against a bare thumb. Another concern would be that because a common use for the pommel is as a hammer, and there are some things that you might end up splitting instead of hammering, because those teeth would concentrate the force of each blow into a few very small points instead of across the whole pommel.
Now as you can probably imagine, this is by no means a small knife. It is basically a knife modeled on the large, single knife only, survival role. As I've said in other posts, going this route is far from ideal, the ideal would be to carry a much larger heavy knife (a camp axe or a machete), and at least one small knife. However if you have to do it with just one, this would definitely fit the bill.
But now, if you all don't mind, I'd like to vent about my one major pet peeve with this design: THOSE BLASTED SAW TEETH ON THE SPINE!!
The most hackle raising feature of this otherwise very cool knife was how the spine saw was implemented. Rather than put an actual saw blade on the spine, the folks at SOG opted for the much more difficult "dino tooth" option. They went back in time, grabbed some hapless velociraptor, performed an X-Men, Wolverine-style dental job to replace all of its teeth with steel, then pulled it's newly transformed steel teeth out and stuck them on the back of this knife.
No. Really. That's what they did. What? Don't beleive me?
Ok, fine. Maybe they didn't. But it certainly looks like it. Which wouldn't be so bad, except that a velociraptors teeth are designed to help them catch and eat live prey. Not for SAWING WOOD. Do any of these knife makers actually ever look at a real wood saw any more? Seriously? Have you ever seen teeth like these on a wood saw? A hand saw? A folding wood saw? Branch cutting saw? Anyone? Why is it so hard for knife makers to get that oh, so simple little detail right?
I mean I can understand the cool of having the spine of your knife look like a hungry velociraptors jaw, but this knife is supposed to be a survival tool FIRST, and cool tool SECOND. Weapon/tool aesthetics aren't called the SECOND kind of cool for nothing. Pro tip folks: Always get your basic design fully functional before you go designing in the sexy. OK? Aaaaand… I'm done. End rant.
OK. To be fair, the knife is still quite evil. In a jungle primitive kind of way. My kind of aesthetic. And it will do most everything you might want it to do. Some things (such as sawing through wood) will require a little more effort than others. But it will get the job done. Just remember that if you are looking for a knife for survival purposes.
The way I see it, there's the tool, and then there's the cool. Sometimes you can have both the tool and the cool. Sometimes the cool overwhelms the tool. Me personally, especially for survival use, I prefer the tool to pwn the cool. Because if you are in a survival situation, the cool ain't gonna get you through. It will be all about the tool… 🙂
Now say that 20 times fast. 😀

Gay's 20 points lead Raps to 102-89 win over Hornets
Toronto Raptors' Rudy Gay (right) shoots on New Orleans Hornets Al-Farouq Aminu during first half NBA basketball action in Toronto on Sunday February 10 , 2013. (Chris Young/ THE CANADIAN PRESS)
The Canadian Press
Published Sunday, February 10, 2013 8:55PM EST
TORONTO -- Rudy Gay had a game-high 20 points and Kyle Lowry added 14 points and 10 assists as the Toronto Raptors defeated the New Orleans Hornets 102-89 on Sunday.
John Lucas scored 10 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter and Amir Johnson chipped in 14 points with seven rebounds as Toronto (19-32) won its second straight and improved to .500 at the Air Canada Centre this season (13-13).
Robin Lopez's 19 points led the Hornets (17-34), who lost for the first time in three games. New Orleans guard Greivis Vasquez had 17 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
Jonas Valanciunas, who was making his first start since missing 18 games with a broken finger, had 11 points 10 rebounds for Toronto. Lowry's double double was his fourth of the season.
Lucas, who had just six points at half time, added three in the third quarter before breaking out for 10 in the fourth to match a season-high.
Toronto used a late 9-0 run in the second to take a 50-47 lead into halftime.
The Raptors opened the second quarter with an 11-point lead, which was quickly erased by the Hornets who went on a 10-0 run to start the period. The Hornets had 27 of their 47 first half points from the bench led by Brian Roberts, who finished the game with 15.
Toronto scored 10 of its first 24 points of the game off dunks highlighted by a monster, uncontested, one-handed jam by Gay.
Gay, who came in averaging 24.3 points since his trade from Memphis, became the first Raptor to have five straight games with 20-plus points since Andrea Bargnani (Dec. 28, 2011 - Jan. 4, 2012) last season.
Sunday marked the final between the Raptors and the Hornets franchise, who will be called the Pelicans beginning next season. Toronto also won their final game against the New Jersey Nets and Seattle Sonics before they changed their names.
Notes: Landry Fields dressed for the first time Sunday after missing three games with back spasms and finished with 4 points. ... Raptors Andrea Bargnani was a late scratch with flu-like symptoms. ... Blue Jays great Joe Carter took in the game from courtside.

Raspberry Mocha sponge cake
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I didn't have lady fingers nor mascarpone cheese so I got creative. —Dr. Emm
Serves 9
Eggs, flour, sugar, mocha, vanilla paste, cocoa powder, French press coffee, baking powder, salt, Starbucks raspberry syrup, butter, powder sugar, pinch of salt
- 5 Eggs
- 1.3 cups Flour sifted
- 3/4 cup Sugar or stevia if you prefer
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla paste which I prefer to extract
- .5 cups Butter
- 2 cups Powder sugar
- 4 shots Starbucks Raspberry syrup
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Brewed Starbucks French press
- 1 shot Mocha (optional)
- .5 cups Unprocessed Dutch cocoa
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- Whip five room temperature eggs into soft peaks add a pinch of salt or cream of tartar in the process as well the 3/4 cup sugar slowly not to deflate the eggs. I prefer to add the vanilla paste or the extract of your choice directly to the eggs to get rid of the 'egginess' once th eggs are voluminous falls down in ribbons sift the flour and baking powder a bit at a time and work the way you'd when making French macrons with a spatula flipping gently the ingredients until mixed transfer to large baking sheet and put in a 350°F oven for 18-20 mins rotating in the middle and then let it cool.
- Use leftover coffee from the morning add a touch of mocha to the mix to your taste I also use Starbucks mocha powder per instructions. Ladle over the sponge cake once it's completely cooled.
One stick of soft butter or half a cup, two cups powder sugar and a few pumps of raspberry syrup until you achieve the desired consistency
- .5 cups Butter
- 2 cups Powered sugar
- 4 shots Raspberry syrup (pumps)
- Place one stick of butter or half a cup in a deep enough bowl and using hand mixer add the powder sugar a little at a time at low speed add a few pumps of the raspberry syrup until you achieve the desired consistency and a pinch of salt to taste and balance sweetness.
- Now this makes much more than 9 servings depending on how you cut it. After using spoon or ladle or pastry brush to moisten the sponge cake with coffee make sure that it's not soggy flip it over to the other side and spread the raspberry buttercream over the sponge cake you can leave out the edges or depending on how you cut it then sift a light dusting of unprocessed cocoa. Now get out your biscuit cutter and I don't recommend for this particular cut anything but a biscuit cutter and cut through the cake then stack the circles on top of each other. I prefer two layers but you can stack three if you prefer. Add remainder of buttercream to the sides to seal it. Place in fridge until ready to serve.

From the President
Welcome to all the new members and subscribers who have discovered SPAWN this month!
Yesterday was Mark Twain's 176th birthday. He's easily one of the most quoted authors of all time. Here's a great quote from Mr. Clemens that also relates to the theme of this issue:
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
Any creative endeavor requires a bit of courage. Putting your creative works out into the world for public scrutiny can be daunting.
A mentor is someone who has been where you want to go, offering support, advice, and encouragement. As you'll discover in this issue, a true mentor is someone who helps you believe you can be great.
And who doesn't want that?

Editor's Note
This month we're talking about mentors. Patricia Fry gave me the final kickstart to write. I met her in St Louis seven years ago, a chance meeting that changed everything.
A friend and I had coffee; as we left, she said, "Somebody told me about a book fair, want to go?" And we did. There were artists, vendors, food, and books everywhere. My friend shopped paintings and I shopped books. Most vendors smile and nod as you sail by, trying not to be trapped into a sales pitch. Patricia just smiled and said, "Are you a writer too?" I was so astonished that someone would mistake me for a writer that I stayed to talk and ended up buying two books.
After the fair, Patricia and I e-mailed, and with encouragement (and threats), I wrote. I submitted. I got published. At first, I wrote about my dog Izzie. Those pieces came from the heart and, I think, went a long way to getting me published. It also encouraged me to do more. Now I'm branching out into other areas—after writing the first article that didn't have even one dog in it, they came easier.
It took a while for me to work out in my mind, just what a writer is and does. A writer writes instead of waiting for a Muse to whisper a story into the ear. A writer asks for more work instead of starving in an attic. A writer isn't insulted by the change of words or phrases, but learns from every edit. A writer eavesdrops on conversations, reads the paper for ideas, and says, "What if?"
Writing is said to be a solitary job, but with the help of a mentor and a group like SPAWN, writing becomes a community.
Writing is an art. Writing is a craft. Writing is a job. It's just the best job you could have.
Thanks to the mentors who get us to write.

Ask the Book Doctor:
About Copyrights, Mentors, and Simultaneous Submissions
By Bobbie Christmas
Q: After a book is written, how do I go about protecting my work with a copywrite [sic] before sending it off to prospects? Is the standard initialing acceptable? Would I need to initial each page? Would I need to get it notarized, so the idea cannot be taken by someone else?
A: According to current law, you own the rights to your copy—hence copyright, rather than copywrite—the moment you complete a body of work. If you find that someone has used your material without permission, you have the right to sue, whether or not you registered the copyright or published the book. You don't have to initial the manuscript, register it, get it notarized, or do anything, because you automatically own the rights to your intellectual property, based on the fact that you created it. The law protects you, should anyone use your material without your permission.
Professional editors, publishers, and agents also know the law and will not steal your material. On the flip side, when editors, agents, or publishers see that an author has copyrighted a manuscript, they perceive they are dealing with a paranoid person or an amateur, so don't prematurely register the copyright on a manuscript and give others the opportunity to make an incorrect assumption.
Manuscripts are always open to change, whereas copyrights are not, so a copyright should not be registered until the material is edited, proofed, and laid out, right before the book goes to press.
If you sell your book to a publisher, ask your publisher if it handles the copyright registration. Most publishers register the copyright in your name for you, prior to going to press. If you plan to self-publish, register the copyright right before you send the final file to a printer. Follow the procedures outlined at the government Web site http://www.copyright.gov/register/literary.html.
Q: Where can I find a mentor to tell me where to send my poetry to get it published?
A: Mentors are a rare find indeed, and they don't hang out shingles announcing their availability. I was blessed with a mentor early in my career, because we had been friends in college before he became an accomplished poet. He read my poetry, picked out two specific poems, and told me a magazine that might be interested in them. He was right, and the magazine accepted both poems, for which I received two contributor's copies. I was on my way though, and after that I found my own markets.
Instead of waiting for a mentor to appear, patronize literary magazines. Buy single copies of many literary publications or subscribe to several and support the market, because publications need supporters, too. Subscribe to WritersMarket.com, which lists poetry markets and gives their guidelines. Once you become familiar with the poetry market, you will know when, what, and how to submit to each potential publisher.
Q: What does "simultaneous submission" mean?
A: When an author sends the same book proposal or novel query to more than one agent or publisher at a time, it is called a simultaneous submission. For several reasons, the method favors those who are doing the submissions. It speeds up the process by allowing writers to send out many submissions at one time, an important ability when responses sometimes take months, if they come at all. In addition, if more than one agent or publisher shows an interest, the author has negotiating power. For that reason, some agents and publishers don't care for simultaneous submissions and prefer exclusive submissions.
Those that do not accept simultaneous submissions will say so in their guidelines. When you see such a note in the guidelines, submit to those agents or publishers last, after hearing back from most or all others. If, however, you have only one particular publisher in mind, submit your query or proposal to that publisher first, with a note that it is an exclusive submission. If you receive a rejection from that one publisher, you can then send simultaneous submissions to others.
At the end of the cover letter of all simultaneous submissions, add a line that states, "This is a simultaneous submission."

Book Review

The Frugal Book Promoter, How To Get Nearly Free Publicity on Your Own or by Partnering with Your Publisher (2nd edition) by Carolyn Howard-Johnson
(HowToDoItFrugally Publishing 2011)
Print and Kindle
416 pages — $17.95 (US) http://www.howtodoitfrugally.com
Most of us enter into publishing not understanding that book promotion is up to the author. I still meet hopeful authors who expect someone else to do the marketing of their books and handle sales. As you will quickly learn from this book—The Frugal Book Promoter—the author is responsible for promoting his or her book. An author who comes to this realization may be stunned and confused about where to begin and wonder, "How much is this going to cost me, anyway?"
Howard-Johnson is an ideal expert to answer the many questions you have about book promotion, as she is a former publicist for a New York firm and a marketing instructor for the UCLA Extension's Writer's Program. Not only that, she loves marketing—"almost as much as writing," she says.
I love Howard-Johnson's method to quell authors' insecurities about the task of book promotion. For example, she tells readers to "just get over it." She writes, "This first section of The Frugal Book Promoter helps assuage your fears. Trust me. Great marketing is merely sharing your passion with others. And it's lots of fun." Now that's comforting, isn't it?
The thing we soon find out about book promotion, once we get involved, is that there are as many ideas and activities to pursue as there are authors and books—and one size does not fit all. As Howard-Johnson says, "Publicity is not a quantifiable or predictable science." And she tells authors, "You can't possibly learn all you need to know about publicizing your book in one evening. Publicity is like practicing piano. The more you do it…"
While I'm impressed that she provides plenty of information about many and various book promotion ideas—most of them no- and low-cost—I especially appreciate that she offers so much guidance to go along with them. For example, she gives lessons on honing your radio and TV skills, explains how to get signing opportunities at tradeshows without having to rent an expensive booth, and how and why to get awards for your book.
I especially like her "Eighteen Publicity Commandments." They range from "Thou shalt educate thyself, thou shalt listen to thy readers" to "Thou shalt practice publicity goals." And the Appendices contain a goldmine of tools for authors: sample query letters, media releases, blog entries, invitation for tradeshows, phone pitches, and tip sheets.
Do you need this book in your home library? If you are an author or you plan to be one within a year or two, this is one of several books on book promotion that you should have at your elbow. Read it through once or twice and then keep it handy as a reference guide for the duration of your promotional activity with your book. How long should you continue to promote your book? For as long as you want it to sell. And that's how long you will need this book within easy reach.

Before You Hire a Mentor
by Barbara Florio Graham
I've been paid to mentor authors since 1995. That year, I helped the Professional Writers Association of Canada set up their first mentoring program, which was funded by the federal government.
Under that program, I was hired by Ann Douglas, a successful writer who published a parenting newsletter, wrote magazine articles, and taught a class at the local college. She was already working five days a week while managing a household with three young children.
She hired me because she wanted to find time to write her first book, so our mentoring began with some time-management tips, and then went on to work on her first book proposal.
If you go to http://www.having-a-baby.com/ you'll see that she's now the author of twenty-nine books—several of them worldwide bestsellers—and is in demand as a speaker in person and on TV.
She and I agree that mentoring worked for her because she was highly motivated, already knew me, and respected me enough to trust my advice, even when I suggested she stop her newsletter and hire someone to take over the mundane tasks so she could carve out time to work on her first book.
Here are a few guidelines if you're considering hiring a mentor:
- The best mentors don't work for free, unless there's a close friendship. At the very least, work out an exchange of services, but don't expect someone to take a lot of time to help you, unless you're paying.
- Check out any potential mentor thoroughly. Does he/she have a Web site? Are there testimonials there with clickable links so you can contact these references? If you check my testimonials page, you'll find Web sites you can click on to see how those I mentored have fared.
- Does the mentor have the level of education necessary to provide you with solid information? If you're looking for help with your writing, it would be wise to look for a mentor with an English or journalism degree.
- What kind of work experience has he/she had? If all a mentor has to offer is his/her own experience publishing a book, you'll be receiving a very narrow perspective, without the breadth of options you need in order to make good choices.
- Establish clear parameters. I charge a set-up fee to allow me to get to know the person I'm going to be mentoring, including checking the person's Web site and reading a few samples. I then charge by the hour, with a three-hour minimum to start. This financial commitment ensures that the person I'm mentoring is serious about this project and will follow through. I also have a couple of other rules, such as no phone calls (too time-consuming, and without any written record of what each of us said), and complete flexibility. That means anyone who hires me can take time off, for whatever reason (illness, vacation, family visits) and resume later, "banking" any unused time.
If mentoring is successful, you'll both feel as if you've made a new friend, someone you can call on in the future when you have a quick question or a success to report.
Barbara Florio Graham is an author and publishing consultant who has mentored more than fifty people since 1995. She's the author of three books, Five Fast Steps to Better Writing, Five Fast Steps to Low-Cost Publicity, and Mewsings/Musings, and is the managing editor and one of eighteen contributors to Prose to Go: Tales from a Private List. Her information-rich Web site is www.SimonTeakettle.com, where you'll also find Simon Teakettle's popular blog.
Mentors I've Known
by Helen Gallagher
There are mentors I've known and loved throughout school and my writing career, but none of them know they helped me.
First are the famous mentors, such as Julia Cameron (The Artist's Way), Natalie Goldberg (Writing Down the Bones), and Joan Anderson (A Year By The Sea).
Then, there are those who motivated me through roles great or small. Susan Tiberghein (One Year To A Writing Life: Twelve Lessons to Deepen Every Writer's Art and Craft) spoke at an International Women's Writing Guild event in Chicago a few years ago and I've been following her work ever since. She commanded a class in personal essay/memoir, and used her life stories to help us recognize the magic within our own life. Her entire class is a self-care holiday, teaching through love, helping writers reach deeper until they respect that inner voice that expresses their truth. She is truly an amazing mentor.
Last, inspiration often comes from quiet encounters: the colleague who takes a city bus for thirty miles to attend a workshop, hoping to begin publishing her poetry. She gives more to the participants than she gets, and sees such hope and promise in the potential of every speaker, and every sentence. She quietly inspires me to write more, and to appreciate the privilege of time and resources I have available to me.
Mentors give me the ability to write—a gift not unlike the compassionate example these lovely people shared with me.

Suggestions from a Writing Mentor
by Darryl Laurant
As a longtime journalist, former magazine editor and the founder and director of The Writers' Bridge (www.writersbridge.net), I've learned a few things about freelancing. That doesn't make me an authority by any means, but probably qualifies me as a mentor. Having a gray beard doesn't hurt.
My specialty is freelance article writing, although the suggestions below could be applied to any genre. Some involve attitude, some involve action. Selling anything to anybody usually requires a stroke of luck, but there are ways you can position yourself to lure good luck in your direction.
- Realize that your window on the world is unique. No human being who has ever lived or ever will live will have your precise combination of genetics, ethnicity, geographic location, interests, philosophy and life experience. You look at things in a way no one else can, and don't ever forget that.
- Establish credibility in a subject or two. That's different from being an expert. If you own a Doberman, that gives you the credibility to write about Dobermans. If you're a twin, that qualifies you (at least in the mind of most editors) to write about twins. Start there, and expert status can follow.
- Writing is not a magical gift. It's a skill like any other, and you get better by repetition. Just as you wouldn't expect to break par the first time you pick up a golf club, writing may be more of a struggle than fun at first. Trust me: you'll get it, eventually.
- Having said that, remember that whether you're writing an article, a press release, or a novel, how you present the story is more important than your ability to dance with words. A good story will sell itself; a bad story, no matter how incandescent the prose, probably will not.
- Create a body of work. In the bad old days, that meant cranking out sweat-shop prose for non-paying publications or content mills to collect "clips." Now, you can simply start a blog. Editors want to see something.
- Understand that you have something to offer. Magazines and Web sites need "content" (however vague that term may be) to survive, so don't be apologetic in your query letters. The more you appear to respect yourself, the better chance an editor will respect you and consider your offering to be of possible worth. p.s. They don't care that you've always wanted to write for them.
- Don't send completed articles to editors. The people who put out magazines and Web sites like to dictate the length, tone, and sometimes even point of view of an article. If you dump a completed piece of work on them, chances are it won't mesh with what the editor has in mind (hence: "This is not what we need at this particular time."). Give them enough of the idea to hook them, then say why you're a good person to write that article and how you plan to go about it. It's not nuclear physics.
- Excise the word "rejection" from your vocabulary. If someone doesn't want what you're offering, they're simply making a choice among numerous alternatives. You do that yourself every day when you shop or turn on your TV. Don't take it personally.
- Don't give up. My proudest moment as a freelancer has not been my biggest check or my largest exposure; it was an article I sold on the seventh try. Keep working it.
- Don't try to work in a vacuum. Communicate with other writers. Find a partner for reciprocal editing and comments. The great thing about freelance writing is the personal space. The hardest thing about freelance writing is the personal space.

How to Use Best-selling Authors as Mentors
by Victory Crayne
As a fiction writer I have often wished I could get a best-selling author to be a mentor for me. Then one day it dawned upon me that I had dozens of best-selling authors almost within arm's reach—on my bookcase.
Oh, I didn't have moment-by-moment instructions from those mentors, but I had their finished products as living examples.
Now, you have to know that I've been a professional editor of fiction novels for about six years, and during that time I have acquired a lot of knowledge on the craft of writing fiction. I know the vocabulary of the industry—tension, show versus tell, emotion, pace, characterization, description of setting, description of body language, surprise, etc.
So I began a deliberate study of best-selling authors in my chosen genres. I asked myself: "What did the author do very well that I have not done as well yet?" When I finished a novel, I tried to identify a skill that writer had exhibited that was better than my own.
Many times as I read a novel I felt I was peering over the shoulder of the author as he or she was writing it. I could tell why the author was doing a certain thing. For example, I could see why a writer ended a chapter with a so-called end of chapter book, and when it was overdone.
I noticed that I kept coming back to the same authors, even if I didn't know the stories in advance. Why? Because the author had been consistent in delivering on the promise of a good read, and very importantly, the author had a writing style or voice that was very comfortable and entertaining for me.
Many of my clients were beginning writers and very few had an author's voice yet. Best-selling novelists, on the other hand, almost always have a distinctive voice. As I settled into reading one of my favorite novelists, I quickly got into that author's voice as if I were putting on comfortable clothing.
My main writing goal is to become a best-selling novelist myself, and I have many bookshelves of mentors to guide me.
Victory has gained a reputation as an expert for her articles on writing fiction, including How to Critique Fiction. She is a ghostwriter and editor. Writing classes use her articles as teaching aids. She founded and is the current president of the critique group www.sfnovelist.com Web: www.crayne.com E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Today marks the beginning of the bring joy guest post summer series.
While I'm taking some time away from blogging (ie. spending my days at the library & swimming with my kids), I've asked some of my most awesome friends, & blogger friends to step in & guest post.
I am so excited for you to meet some pretty spectacular people!
Everyone in this series is someone I either know personally &/or have developed an online relationship with over the years.
Our first post in the series is from Lauren Cash.
She has her Masters in Psychology and will begin a program shortly to obtain her Masters in Nutritional Science and also fulfill the requirements to be a Registered Dietitian. She is passionate about working with those who struggle with disordered eating. I appreciate Lauren's emphasis on intuitive eating & her holistic, balanced approach towards food.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm a 20-something or because I'm in graduate student circles, but no one seems to cook anymore.
Not only do we not cook, we also don't invite people over to our homes for meals.
The natural way to be social these days seems to be to go out to eat together. I keep hoping to myself that this will change as soon as we move into our own spaces and aren't sharing apartments with roommates.
I would like to believe that the reason that we don't invite others over to cook and eat a meal together is out of courtesy to roommates. But you know what? I'm starting to think this isn't the case. The issue is not simply that when we eat together we go out to restaurants. No, we also don't cook when we're at home either. We've outsourced this responsibility (let's be honest, for so many people it's a chore) to the food industry.
Processed and pre-made foods are mainstream.
Even if you happen to be following a recipe, I bet at some point you'll include a pre-processed ingredient. We all blame time for these habits. Or lack of energy. This seems especially rampant with the students I've associated with on various campuses. Trader Joe's caters to this culture with all of their ready-to-go dishes.
Outsourcing our meal preparation is expensive, decreases the quality of the ingredients, and disregards the power of community.
In Micheal Pollan's book, Cooked, he explains that cooking not only provides a meal, but it also cultivates community relationship. Not only are you gathering around the table as a group and consuming the exact same food, but it is also a bonding experience to create meals together in a kitchen. Further, this process isn't the individualistic affair that eating separate dishes can be.
In the past, preparing of meals was more of a social activity than it is today. After World War II, following the increase of women working outside the home many families fled to the suburbs, both of which decreased the occurrence of cooking at home (Pollan, 2013).
If you would ask someone why they think we don't cook as much, I'm almost certain they would say because we're too busy. Or that as a result of this busyness we're simply too tired to cook. (It's as a *chore*, remember?)
It is true that we are busy, Americans spend more time working than any other industrialized society adding up to more than two more weeks per year than the other societies.
Someone else might say it's because so many more women work outside of the home.
Although this may be partly true, both women who solely fulfill a homemaker role and those that work outside of the home have decreased the amount of time they spend cooking at home since 1965 by 40%.
It might feel easier to allow the food industry to do most of our "cooking" for us, but let's face it, corporations don't cook the same way we do, that's why we call it food processing (Pollan, 2013).
People talk about how much of a hassle fresh food (read: produce) is because you have to hurry up and use it before it goes bad.
It's pretty humorous if you think about it though: we want food to last a long period of time, but in order for it to do so, we add so many ingredients and preservatives that we end up making it un-food like.
The bottom line is that yes, we're busy and it does take some effort to prepare your own meals, but it takes a lot of time to avoid making meals too.
As Pollan points out–all the time it takes to get ready to leave the house, decide on a restaurant, drive to it, sit down, order, wait for the food to be made, eat it, wait for the check, drive home… it takes a good long while!
We honestly do have time if we're doing that long drawn out process and spending so much time in front of our screens (TVs, tablets, phones, etc.). We've made ourselves busier. But we've lost a lot as a result.
So let's go back to cooking in our homes more–it will be beneficial for both our wallets and our health.
Also, we can socialize more with others and can control what is going into our dishes.
A few tips for preparing meals at home:
- Focus on the joy of the community building aspect of preparing & eating meals with others at home.
- Enjoy the practice of preparing meals from beginning to end.
- Experiment with new dishes and tastes.
- Create an enjoyable consuming space (ie. get a pretty table cloth, light some candles).
- Take joy in the fact you're saving money! (And often, time.)

Why do we eat out so much?
How can we bring back the art of dinner parties in the home, even as people that might share a living space?
Lauren writes her blog, Breathe & Nourish, about body acceptance and focuses on all aspects that contribute to well-balanced physical and mental health.
She hopes that through her blog and her future work as a dietitian she can aid others in an authentic and approachable way to positively change their relationships with their bodies and with food.

WHEELING - Reports show the Marcellus Shale natural gas rush sweeping across West Virginia could bring billions of dollars and thousands of new jobs to the state over the next several years.
Now, the state's largest academic institution is looking to help "optimize gas production in the region," as West Virginia University's College of Engineering and Mineral Resources is using data-intensive science in an effort to save time and resources during gas development.
To help fund the research, WVU is receiving a $354,000 grant from the nonprofit Gas Technology Institute.

The probe into the death of baby Simeon, whose head was sliced into during Caesarean surgery, will begin today.
On March 1, Quelly Ann Cottle underwent a Caesarean section at the Mt Hope Women's Hospital, during which her seven-month-old baby was cut on the head, resulting in his death.
Dr Javed Chinnia has since been suspended, pending the outcome of an independent investigation.
Both Cottle and her husband, Emil Millington, called for an investigation into their baby's death.
Baby Simeon was buried on March 19.
An autopsy found the baby died from a laceration to the head which caused massive blood loss and hypovolaemic shock, as well as prematurity with severe intrauterine growth retardation.
Attorney General Anand Ramlogan appointed a team comprising of consultant obste-
trician and gynaecologist attached to the University College London Hospitals Dr Melanie Clare Davies; Dr Petronella Manning-Alleyne, neonatologist and former head of the Neonatal Unit at the Port of Spain General Hospital; and retired Appeal Court judge Mustapha Ibrahim.
The Express understands Davies was scheduled to arrive in Trini-
dad last night and will begin work with committee members today at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mt Hope.
The probe is expected to take four days—today, tomorrow and Monday and Tuesday of next week.
Ramlogan had said the committee would determine what went wrong, why it went wrong and what should be done to prevent it from recurring.
"It is going to be a no-holds-barred approach. I am going to encourage the committee to shoot from the hip and let us deal with the problem frankly and squarely," he said last month.
Speaking to the Express yesterday, Cottle said she was relieved to hear the investigation will be starting.
She said she was called by hospital officials and informed of this.
"I am okay for now, I find they take real long, but thank God they are starting. We want to get answers as to what happened that day and why Simeon is not with us today," said Cottle.

A recent review of the status and utilization of the health benefit plan shows that we have experienced another relatively stable year. Therefore, health and vision insurance plan rates will not change in June 2012.
Language changes and improvements to the health plan will be communicated later this summer; however, your deductibles, co-insurance percentages and out-of-pocket limits will also remain the same. There will be no changes to the vision plan.
Effective in June, the dental insurance rates will increase slightly. The employee cost of single coverage will increase by approximately $1 per month. This increase is based on the trend of costs for dental care in general and the utilization of the plan by our participants. The college will continue to contribute approximately two-thirds of the premium, and your premiums will continue to be pre-tax deducted through the flexible spending plan, making the actual increase slightly less. There will be no changes to the coverage provided by the plan.

Publix has Porterhouse steaks on sale this week for $7.99/lb. That saves you $3.50/lb so plan to make this recipe at least once this week – it is amazing!
The recipe calls for a Prime cut of meat, but I've found the Choice cuts at Publix are still amazing when made this way.
This is one of those times I think I am better off not knowing what I don't know! I'm afraid if I try the Prime cut I won't be able to go back! Then I would have to cut way back on my Porterhouse eating and that wouldn't be good! Well, I guess it would be good for my health, but my taste buds would be very sad – and we just can't have that!
I adjusted this recipe to serve 2. Instead of a 4lb Porterhouse, I get about a 1.5- 2 pounder.
I look for the thickest cut with lots of marbling. Marbling = Flavor folks so it is worth the effort to search for the best looking cut!
Sprinkle the meat with a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of sugar. Toss on pepper to your liking and then cover it and put in the fridge overnight. Let those seasonings work their magic all night long…all night….all nigh... Oh sorry I got distracted with the song. Back to the recipe…
I take the steak out of the fridge about noon the next day to let it come to room temperature. Yes, it sits on the counter for hours. We keep our house around 79 degrees, so it takes time for the meat to warm to room temperature. This will vary depending on how warm (or cold) your home is.
Cooking your meat at room temperature ensures more even cooking throughout
Cooking your meat at room temperature ensures more even cooking throughout
Heat a large pan over fairly high heat and add a thick slice of bacon! I really like the Publix brand Thick Sliced Bacon – that is some good bacon! Allow the fat to render and then throw on your steak and let it CARAMELIZE!
Because I am working with a smaller cut than what Michael (like how I feel I am on a first name basis with him...) suggests in his recipe, I only let the steak cook for about 3 minutes. If it is a very thick cut I might go a little longer. After about 3 mins, flip that baby over and add a tablespoon of butter, a ½ a head of garlic along with some fresh oregano (1/2 tablespoon works well) to the pan. Be sure to use FRESH oregano – the dry stuff is just nasty! Once you try the fresh oregano, you'll throw out that dry stuff never to buy it again! It's true.
Cook for another 3 mins and then remove from heat to a cutting board. Let the steak rest for about 10 mins. Then check the temp with an instant read digital thermometer. If you don't have one – get one! You can pick one up on the cheap just about anywhere.
If the steak reads 120 degrees you are done! Slice it up and enjoy all of its tender, juicy goodness! If it's not quite up to temperature after resting for 10 mins then you can slice it and put it in the preheated 450 degree oven for just a minute or 2.
Watch it closely!
Overcooking makes me sad and, again, we just can't have that.
Overcooking makes me sad and, again, we just can't have that.
While the steak is resting you can mix up the garlic butter as stated in the recipe. I tried it once, but honestly this steak is so good we didn't feel the roasted garlic butter added anything. Which is strange if you know of my love affair with garlic.
You can serve this with just a salad and be ever so happy. I really LOVE the Publix brand Caesar Dressing - try it! It is downright tasty!
Now if you want to be in sheer bliss you would serve this with garlic smashed yukon gold potatoes and sauteed fresh baby spinach with (what else) garlic! Go ahead and serve that spinach right on top of those potatoes - it is a taste sensation!
If you like wine try pairing this with Kendall Jackson's Pinot Noir
- it is quite tasty and goes nicely with most meats!
...and just about anything really - even by itself! It is gooood!!

We are available for consultation and site visits at these times- other times by appointment by email (email@example.com)
After 35 years at 44 Chapel Street it was time for a change to a web based operation and to offer guidance based on many years of practical experience.
Keeping your aquaponics system in balance means giving the fish what they need so their wastes can provide nutrient to grow your plants. However fishfood does not contain all the trace elements that plants need for healthy vegetative and flower growth. A foliar spary allows you to give the plants what they want without adding the trace elements to the water.

FIT Classes
Absolute MMA and Conditioning offers a range of challenging and fun fitness programs for all fitness and experience levels that utilise elements of Boxing, Kickboxing and MMA.
Our Boxing FIT, Kickboxing FIT and MMA FIT programs use real combat sport techniques in a supportive and positive non-contact environment and they will quickly get you into fighting fit condition while teaching you a lot of new skills along the way.
- Train like a fighter without the full-contact
- Learn from experienced professional fighters
- Develop your technique while getting in the best shape of your life
- Improve your strength, cardio and flexibility
- Get a well-rounded training program without the boredom of traditional cardio and gym
- Make some great friends in a positive, friendly training environment
Our Boxing FIT, Kickboxing FIT and MMA FIT classes are much like their full-contact counterparts (Boxing, Muay Thai and MMA classes) but with a much stronger focus on improving your fitness, strength and flexibility. That is not to say that technique goes out the window however; we have experienced fighters watching your form and guiding you through every class.
Classes will start with a sport-specific warm-up that generally involves some light bodyweight exercises, shadowboxing, stretching and drills to get you loose and ready to strike. If you've never done this kind of training before, that's fine – we'll guide you through it.
Following the warm-up you will be taken through a variety of different drills, exercises, and combinations on both bags and pads, as you would in a typical boxing, Muay Thai or MMA class, but with a stronger emphasis on keeping you working hard.
Every class will be different but to finish you will usually be working your core, doing a number of ab exercises to end the session.

Amaranthus retroflexus
Amaranth family (Amaranthaceae)
Description: This plant is a summer annual about 1-3' tall that is either sparingly branched or unbranched. The central stem is stout, round, light green, and more or less covered with white hairs; it also has fine longitudinal veins that are white. The alternate leaves are up to 6" long and 4" across (excluding the petioles), becoming smaller in the upper half of the central stem. They are cordate-ovate or elliptic and smooth or slightly undulate along the margins. The base of each leaf is rounded or wedge-shaped, while its tip is rounded and blunt. The lower surface of each leaf is usually pubescent, while the upper surface is less pubescent or hairless.
The central stem terminates in a stout panicle of spikes with whitish green flowers. This terminal inflorescence is up to 6" long (rarely longer in large plants). There are also shorter axilllary panicles of flowering spikes or simple spikes that develop from the axils of the middle to upper leaves. The flowering spikes are bristly in appearance from the crowded flowers and pointed bracts. Rough Pigweed is usually monoecious with separate pistillate (female) and staminate (male) flowers on the same plant. The pistillate flowers have 5 pale white sepals, an ovary with 3 styles, and no petals. The staminate flowers have 5 pale white sepals, 5 stamens, and no petals. The sepals are oblong and about 3 mm. in length; their tips are either short and pointed or flattened. At the base of each flower, there are one or more green bracts about 3-6 mm. long. These bracts have long pointed tips. The blooming period occurs from late summer to early fall and lasts about 1-2 months. Cross-pollination of the flowers is by wind. Each pistillate flower develops a single seed in a membranous bladder (utricle). This utricle splits up to release the seed. Each small seed is dark brown or black, flattened, and circular; it has a smooth and shiny surface. The root system consists of a short stout taproot that is usually tinted red. This plant spreads by reseeding itself.
Cultivation: This plant is typically found in full sun, mesic to dry conditions, and a soil containing loam, clay-loam, or gravelly material. Its size can vary significantly according to moisture levels and the fertility of the soil. The seeds can remain viable in the soil for 30 years or more.
Range & Habitat: The non-native Rough Pigweed is a common plant that occurs in most counties of Illinois (see Distribution Map). It is originally from South America. Habitats include degraded upland prairies, cropland, fallow fields, farm lots, gardens, gravelly areas along roads and railroads, sunny areas along the foundations of buildings, and waste areas. Highly disturbed areas are preferred.
Faunal Associations: Insects rarely visit the wind-pollinated flowers. The caterpillars of the skipper Pholisora catullus (Common Sootywing) feed on the foliage, as do the caterpillars of several moths, including Holomelina aurantiaca (Orange Holomelina), Hymenia perspectalis (Spotted Beet Webworm Moth), Spilosoma congrua (Agreeable Tiger Moth), and Spoladea recurvalis (Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth). Sometimes Disonycha spp. (Flea Beetles) chew little holes in the leaves. The seeds of pigweeds are very popular with granivorus birds as a source of food during the fall and winter (see Bird Table). Pigs and cattle eat pigweeds readily, although the foliage can cause bloating and other symptoms of nitrate poisoning if an excessive amount of the foliage is eatened. Deer and rabbits eat pigweeds to a limited extent.
Photographic Location: Along the pebbly foundation of the webmaster's apartment building in Urbana, Illinois.
Comments: Rough Pigweed is another weedy member of the Amaranth family, although its seeds are an important source of food to birds. It is quite similar in appearance to another common weed, Amaranthus hybridus (Slender Amaranth), and prefers similar habitats (perhaps those that are slightly drier). Rough Pigweed tends to be shorter and stouter in its growth habit than Slender Pigweed. The flowering spikes of Rough Pigweed are usually more stout and bristly than those of Slender Pigweed; the flowering spikes of Rough Pigweed are whitish green while in bloom, while the flowering spikes of Slender Pigweed are more green (because its sepals are less conspicuous). Using a 10x hand lense, it is possible to observe that the sepals of Rough Pigweed often have flattened tips, while the sepals of Slender Pigweed are more pointed at their tips. Furthermore, the floral bracts of Rough Pigweed are up to 6 mm. in length, while those of Slender Pigweed are up to 4 mm. in length. Red forms of Rough Pigweed apparently don't occur; reddish pigweeds are usually Slender Pigweed, or less often a cultivated Amaranth that has escaped from gardens.

Blake Shelton and Alicia Keys Battle Over Team Miley Contestant on 'The Voice'
One performance stood out from the rest during another round of battles on The Voice Monday night. Team Miley members, Aaron Gibson and Sa'Rayah, left everything on the stage as they crushed a performance of Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart's song, "I'll Take Care of You." All of the coaches loved the performance and Miley struggled with the difficult decision of who won the battle and remained on her team.
After careful consideration, Miley announced that Aaron was the winner, leaving Sa'Rayah up to possibly be stolen by another coach. As Sa'Rayah was walking off the stage, Blake Shelton hit his buzzer, which was quickly followed up by Alicia Keys hitting her buzzer. With both coaches wanting to steal Sa'Rayah, the choice was, once again, up to her. The soulful singer was having trouble deciding, so Adam Levine thought he'd help by sharing his opinion, saying, "I'm not saying pick Alicia, but I'm just saying, don't pick Blake." Sa'Rayah ended up taking Adam's advice and chose Alicia as her coach.
Blake took the rejection personally as he joked that Alicia was targeting him, saying, " It's becoming a theme around here, Alicia swoops in and she steals whoever I'm after. I'm starting to think that she hates me."

At first glance, Warlocks seem to have a LOT in common with Sith Inquisitor from SWTOR. Selfish, greedy, arrogant. Will do anything to get power. Exploit it, use it for your own good, let others suffer if it will grant you power. Pretty much the polar opposite of a Paladin.
Lorewise, all we seem to hear about fel magic is, "It's bad, don't use it". We saw what happened to the Orcs and the Blood Elves - it seems like it would take a very rare individual to be able to wield demonic powers without being consumed by them.
So is it true that fel magic is WoW's version of the Dark Side of the Force? Or are playable Warlocks shown to have some degree of control over their nature/ability to resist its corruption?

Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
I was after a really nice watch because later in the year its my 40th birthday. I saw this watch as its a 1974 design, I thought thats the watch I want.
Unbeknown to me, when delivery arrived just how big the package was, I just thought that they packed it really well, when I opened it, there was this very large polished wooden box, and inside that was my watch along with 4 spare pads, so theres room to house 5 watches, and it also had a brass plate to which I can have my name engraved and stick it to the box aswell.
Im very pleased with the overall presentation of this watch and of the box too although not looking forward to turning 40 though.
