False Dichotomies (I Don't Fit In Your Box)
"False Dichotomies (I Don't Fit in Your Box)" explores the pervasive black and white thinking of our largely gendered society and insists on thoughtful reflection to deepen or widen that thinking. Drawing from the traditional Victorian era, black and white hexagonal tiles resonate specifically with current bathroom access battles in this life-size work presenting a blended human figure composed of split iconic gendered bathroom signs.
The standard binary of female/male is challenged as a false dichotomy, marked in this piece by the "W" and "M" chest emblems altered into a zig-zag superhero shield; the "skirt" of the left-sided figure being referenced as a ghost cape on the right; and finally, the neutral genital flower, indicating a root that is gender free.
The angled placement of the figure on the background is both intentional and reactionary. Gender fluidity does not fit in the narrowly defined standard binary "boxes" created by society, and neither does this hexagonal human (h=68″) fit into the show dimension restrictions (h=60″). Prioritizing the full figure meant a sideways mount at an awkward angle, paralleling the oft-challenging expression of an authentic self as faced by many nonconforming or transgender people in our culture.
How does looking at the figure affect you as part of society? When noticing the grotesque exaggeration of an archetypal male shoulder do you assume features of strength and protection? When seeing a triangle shape extending from the side of a leg, do you assume the predictable skirted garb of a girl with associated vulnerability and shame-filled rape culture, or do you seek and find a superhero cape – symbolic of hidden talents and magical powers? Is there a peepshow/sideshow aspect of the viewer as voyeur made safer/more acceptable by the cover of the fabric medium and does this also serve to make the unspeakable into something we can begin to discuss?

text: Stinger Drink Recipe By Kelly Roper The Stinger was once considered a cocktail strictly for members of high society. It's even rumored to have been a favorite of millionaire Reginald Vanderbilt and author Somerset Maugham. These days, the drink isn't quite so common as other popular cocktails, but since the International Bartenders Association lists it as one of their officially "unforgettable" cocktails, it's worth your while to give it, and a few of its variations, a try. How to Make a Stinger Cocktail The classic Stinger recipe calls for white créme de menthe. If you're not a fan of mint-flavored cocktails, don't let that scare you off. Combined with brandy or cognac, the drink is rather smooth and even a little soothing. Mixing a Stinger is fairly simple. Although you'll find slight differences in the exact measurements of the two key ingredients in various recipes, the following recipe is a good representation of this cocktail. Related Articles Sazerac Drink Recipe 15 Best Cognac Cocktails Galliano Drinks Ingredients 2 ounces cognac or brandy, your preference 1 ounce white créme de menthe Preparation Combine the two ingredients in a shaker with some cracked ice. Shake briefly, and strain the contents into a chilled old fashioned glass. If you prefer your drink extra chilly, add some ice to the glass before you pour the drink into it. Alternatively, you can simply stir the ingredients with ice, and then strain them into an old-fashioned glass if prefer your cocktail stirred rather than shaken. You can always tweak the ingredients in your Stinger to adjust the flavor to your taste, but there is one substitution you really shouldn't make. Don't use green créme de menthe in place of white in the classic recipe. Popular Variations of the Stinger The easiest way to change up a Stinger is to substitute a different kind of liquor for the cognac or brandy, such as using vodka for a vodka Stinger, rum for a rum Stinger, tequila for a tequila Stinger, and so on. There are also several other versions of the classic Stinger. The Green Stinger, AKA Green Hornet Ingredients 2 ounces brandy 1 ounce green créme de menthe Preparation Simply combine the ingredients in an old fashioned glass, and stir. The Bee Stinger Ingredients 2 ounces blackberry brandy 1 ounce white créme de menthe Preparation Combine the brandy and créme de menthe in a shaker with ice, shake for a couple seconds, and strain the drink into a cocktail glass. The Amaretto Stinger Ingredients 2 ounces of Amaretto liqueur 1 ounce white créme de menthe Preparation Combine the Amaretto and créme de menthe in a shaker with ice, shake briefly, and strain the cocktail into a cocktail glass. The Dixie Stinger Ingredients 3 ounces bourbon whiskey 1/2 ounce white créme de menthe 1/2 teaspoon peach liqueur Preparation Combine the whiskey, créme de menthe and peach liqueur in a shaker with ice, shake for a couple seconds, and strain the drink into a chilled cocktail glass. Choose Your Stinger Between the classic Stinger and all the variations, there's a good chance one of these recipes will hit the spot with you. Enjoy one after dinner, or even drink one to let the mint help settle your stomach. This is one classic drink that every cocktail enthusiast should know how to make.

Another Texture
Sheelagh is behind the Fun Weeks Challenge over on Cardmaking Paradise and is encouraging many of us to experiment with and explore different textures in our crafting. For the next piece metal foil or duct tape is being used; I opted for aluminium tape which can be bought from Pound shops, DIY shops or similar. This tape is on a roll and has a paper backing under which is an adhesive.
Starting with a house shaped piece of greyboard various items were glued to the greyboard – in my first piece I used card shaped £ sign, wooden shapes, charms, piece of chain and twine. Once everything is adhered into place then the aluminium tape is carefully 'massaged' over the shapes; to define the various shapes I used cotton buds. After covering the whole piece with tape I used an embossing stylus to make indentations around the edge of the piece, then used a blunt pencil to draw other shapes. Then I covered the whole piece with black acrylic paint, let it sit for a minute and wipe it off with kitchen towel. This gives the effect of Pewter; other colours can be added even alcohol inks can be used. To highlight particular areas a small sanding block can be gently employed.
The flower was made from a tomato puree tube; once opened out and cleaned to expose the lovely golden sheen of the inside of the tube a flower stamp was stamped using Stazon black ink and cut out with small scissors. I dabbed over the shapes with alcohol ink, glued two flowers shapes together and curled the petals. A button was added for decoration.
Not being satisfied with making one house shape I went on to create another one!
For the shapes and texture I used an open weave taper such as used by plasterers to cover joins when putting up plasterboard and readily available from any DIY or hardware store. It is slightly sticky so can be just pressed into place, I used this plasterers tape to texturise the roof and represent a window. Small wood discs were adhered along the roof line; a wooden bird on a branch was adhered to the greyboard with other charms added. The row of 'flowers' are made from flower shaped wooden buttons with thick yarn as stems. On the oblong plaque is a metal button, shrink plastic cat, metal key charm and wood heart. The letters are greyboard/chipboard. All covered with aluminium tape and the shapes emphasised by using cotton buds to press around the shapes. The whole was coated with black acrylic paint as for the top house shape only this time I added other colours of acrylic paint and wiped them off . The house shape had blue and red paint added but the oblong plaque had yellow and orange.
Thank you for looking x

What are the main tourist attractions in Normandy?
The name Normandy comes from the digestion of the words "North man" (in Scandinavian languages). In fact, the region gets its name from the Vikings (north men) who settled there over a millennium ago. Since, Normandy has seen its fair share of action. What are some of its tourist attractions?

Small-business Savvy: Building Your Team
By Glenn Muske, Rural and Agribusiness Enterprise Development Specialist
NDSU Extension Service
Building and running a business means handling a variety of tasks and duties.
Some of those duties you may enjoy and some you may not. Some of those duties you may be good at and some may frustrate you.
One task that many small-business owners continually tell me they neither enjoy nor feel competent at or even do on a regular basis is handling the accounting aspects of the business.
Typical comments are that they don't understand what they are doing or don't know how it helps. Therefore, the task just doesn't rank high on the list of things they like to do and it gets pushed aside.
You know you need correct and timely financial information to ensure you are making money and to make decisions short term, such as sale pricing, or long term as you determine your return on investment from your marketing campaigns.
So if you don't enjoy doing these things, how can you get them done?
This becomes one of the tasks you face: knowing when to consider hiring someone or finding an outside source to help out. It is part of considering who you want on a team to help you run the business. Even if you do some of the financial work inside the business, you still may want or need someone to give you some added outside perspective.
So how do you find an accountant to be on your team? You do it just like you search for other team members: Look at your needs, examine who can meet those needs, interview the leading candidates and check referrals for each person.
First, you need to know what aspects or duties you or someone within your business will handle. Duties beyond that are things for which you want help. Of course, the more you can do internally, the lower your costs, but it's a balance. Decide where your resources can best be spent.
The second step is the search for candidates. This can be scary for many business owners because accountants may use unfamiliar words and terms.
You can get a listing online or through the Yellow Pages. This also is a great time to use your professional network to see who others may recommend. Plus, it's a reason to head to events you normally may not attend to ask whom others are using.
As you enter this phase, ask those other business owners how helpful their accountant is in explaining financial statements in terms they understand. Also ask the other business owners whether they specialize in a particular industry. If they primarily are working in construction and you are in retail, would their accountant be a good match for your business?
Don't necessarily rule out this accountant. But now you have some great follow-up questions to ask the other business owners. Does the accountant respond to calls or contacts? Does he or she respond on a timely basis? Does the accountant get things done on time and when promised? And finally, ask the business owners if they feel they are getting what they paid for (be sure to ask what the accountant does for them).
Once you have some possible accountants identified, you need to interview your leading candidates. Don't hesitate to talk about your specific needs. Also, get a clear understanding of fees and costs. Find out what your dollars buy and what is extra.
Also, find someone with whom you feel you can build a long-term relationship.
Another thing to consider is whether you need this person to be in your community or the work can be handled from a distance. Both of these options have positives and negatives. Finding the best person for the job may be the key deciding factor.
Several business owners I know have commented that getting financial management help was the best decision they made. Only you can determine what it may be worth to you.
A business team can help you reach your goals. Think hard about who you need on your team. Then take action.
And don't forget, lots of people, organizations, agencies and resources out there can help you. They include our website, https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/smallbusiness. Be sure to sign up for the monthly newsletter.
More information is available at your local Extension office, as well as at http://powerofbusiness.net and http://www.eXtension.org/entrepreneurship.
The Small Business Administration and its related organizations, such as the Small Business Development Centers and Service Corps of Retired Executives, along with many other state agencies, also can be valuable resources.

Thank you for your interest in installing a bicycle rack adjacent to your place of business in the public right-of-way. Bicycle racks are available free of charge to businesses within the Beverly Hills City limits. The following guidelines will assist with your Rack-On-Request application.
General Process
Following receipt of a Rack-On-Request application, the City Transportation Engineer (or designated technical staff) will conduct a field check within two weeks to determine if a bicycle rack can be installed adjacent to your place of business.
If rack installation is feasible adjacent to the business address, City staff will contact the applicant with the proposed installation location and timeline. If the location is not suitable for a bike rack, staff will contact the applicant explaining why the bike rack cannot be installed at the desired location and offer an alternative location when applicable.
For cost efficiency, staff will attempt to group Rack-On-Request installations based on the number of requests received each month. Installations will take approximately two month to coordinate, but the timeline can vary with the number of racks requested each month and available inventory. A Notice of Installation will be mailed to adjacent businesses prior to installing any bicycle rack equipment in the public right-of-way.
Bicycle racks will be installed in the public right-of-way on concrete sidewalk where space allows. Racks can only be installed on cement surfaces. The following surfaces will not accept bicycle rack mounting equipment:
- brick
- porcelain tiles
- cobble stone
- dirt or grass
- tiled surfaces
For additional information, please contact Transportation Planning at (310) 285-1128 or send an email to email@example.com.

Data loss/leak prevention solution is a system that is designed to detect potential data breach / data ex-filtration transmissions and prevent them by monitoring, detecting and blocking sensitive data while in-use (endpoint actions), in-motion (network traffic), and at-rest (data storage). In data leakage incidents, sensitive data is disclosed to unauthorized personnel either by malicious intent or inadvertent mistake. Such sensitive data can come in the form of private or company information, intellectual property (IP), financial or patient information, credit-card data, and other information depending on the business and the industry.
The terms "data loss" and "data leak" are closely related and are often used interchangeably, though they are somewhat different.[1] Data loss incidents turn into data leak incidents in cases where media containing sensitive information is lost and subsequently acquired by unauthorized party. However, a data leak is possible without the data being lost in the originating side. Some other terms associated with data leakage prevention are information leak detection and prevention (ILDP), information leak prevention (ILP), content monitoring and filtering (CMF), information protection and control (IPC), and extrusion prevention system (EPS)

Moving Pictures by Tobymac
"...has high-energy, constant movement and incredible dance choreography."
For the first time, all of tobyMac's music videos are available on Moving
Pictures. It is an extreme collection of live and conceptual videos. This
DVD has high-energy, constant movement and incredible dance choreography.
The stage chemistry between Toby and his band is undeniably electric, to
say the least.
All of his concept music videos from the four studio albums including the hits "Irene," "Get This Party Started," "Gone," "Boomin," "Lose My Soul," and "Tonight" are packaged in this DVD. Select live videos from his best-selling live DVD Alive & Transported (2008) are also included.
If you have never had the opportunity to experience a tobyMac live concert, this is the DVD to own even if you already have Alive and Transported in your collection. (Alive and Transported was a live recording of the Portable Sounds Tour in Houston, TX, including covers of popular DC Talk songs "Jesus Freak" and "In the Light".)
Without a doubt, tobyMac is a creative entertainer and consummate performer. More importantly, he is a Christ-follower. tobyMac (Toby McKeehan) was one of the first Christian rappers. He was an original member of the Christian singing trio DC Talk until 2001. He is also a Grammy Award-winning recording artist with six #1 hit CHR singles including "Gone," "Made to Love" and "Lose My Soul" as well as producer and songwriter.
Two of the conceptual videos, "Showstopper" and "City on Our Knees," were created by up-and-coming directors. They presented their unique approach to his lyrical and musical content without him appearing in the video. This reviewer's favorites include: "Lose My Soul," "Made To Love," "Feelin' So Fly," and "Extreme Days."
I would have liked to have seen a "behind-the-scenes" commentary with tobyMac and directors . . . a little extra segment for his fans included!
Toby has helped establish a camp, near Nashville, Tennessee, for young musicians who seek to improve their pop and rock skills. Unfortunately, this baby boomer doesn't meet the age requirements for that adventure. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying his musical styling and Holy Spirit inspired lyrics today. Suffice it to say, this collection of Moving Pictures is worth more than a thousand words! Thank you Tobymac for being faithful to your divine calling.Dale Lewis now mans the front desk at the EFCA (The Evangelical Free Church of America) National Office in Minneapolis, MN. He was the graphic designer/pre-press production artist for over twelve years before being asked to step into this new role. Prior to that, he was the publications manager at his alma mater, Northwestern College in St. Paul, MN in the public relations office as well as the adviser to the college's yearbook. He's a director/actor/writer for the Hope Church (Oakdale, MN) adult drama worship team and was the senior editor of the church newsletter. He's also written two collections of poetry, "Whispers of Assurance" and "On Life: Constant Communion Without Ceasing" as well as a devotional entitled "Eternal Education."

Song of the Fireflies
By J. A. Redmerski
Narrated by Chelsea Hatfield & Douglas Berger / 9 hours 50 minutes
"I loved every last word! Beautiful, heartfelt, consuming--I couldn't put it down. There's pure magic in J. A. Redmerski's pen." --- KATY EVANS, New York Times bestselling author of the REAL series
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Edge of Never and The Edge of Always
Brayelle Bates has always been a force of nature. Even as a child, Bray's wild and carefree spirit intimidated everyone around her. The only person who's ever truly understood her is her best friend, Elias Kline. Though every fiber of her being wants to stay with Elias forever, Bray can't bear the thought of him discovering her agonizing history. She's done everything she can to keep him at arm's length, including moving away. But their undying bond was too strong a pull to deny, and Bray couldn't survive without him. Now she's back home with Elias, and things have never felt more right--until one night changes everything.
Elias vowed never to be separated from Bray again. So when she decides to flee in a desperate attempt to escape her fate, Elias knows he must go with her. As the two try to make the most of their circumstance, taking up with a reckless group of new friends, Elias soon realizes there's a darkness driving Bray he can't ignore. Now in order to save her, he'll have to convince Bray to accept the consequences of their reality--even if it means losing her.

This is the chilling moment an Israeli bomb was captured on camera hurtling towards a house in Gaza.
As the bomb bears down on its target, people below can be seen scattering and running for cover.
One man is covering his ears as he braces for impact, two children can be seen turning on their heels, while several men appear frozen, gazing skywards. A motorbike is seen turning in the street.
The photograph was taken around 2.30 in the afternoon from a street corner on al-Halla in the heart of Gaza City.
The picture serves as a startling reminder of the human impact felt by the relentless Israeli bombardment.
It's been reported the owner of the house received a call from the Israeli military warning anyone inside to evacuate the building.
Within moments, the family of 35 was fleeing the building as word spread quickly around the neighbourhood of the impending attack.
The house was destroyed by the missile.

The Works of Charles Darwin, Volume 1
Diary of the Voyage of the H. M. S. Beagle
The Works of Charles Darwin
Published by: NYU Press
416 pages, 6.12 x 9.25 in
- Paperback
- Published: February 2010
Charles Robert Darwin (1809–1882) has been widely recognized since his own time as one of the most influential writers in the history of Western thought. His books were widely read by specialists and the general public, and his influence had been extended by almost continuous public debate over the past 150 years. New York University Press's new paperback edition makes it possible to review Darwin's public literary output as a whole, plus his scientific journal articles, his private notebooks, and his correspondence.
This is complete edition contains all of Darwin's published books, featuring definitive texts recording original pagination with Darwin's indexes retained. The set also features a general introduction and index, and introductions to each volume.
" Are they needed? To be sure. The Darwinian industry, industrious though it is, has failed to provide texts of more than a handful of Darwin's books. If you want to know what Darwin said about barnacles (still an essential reference to cirripedists, apart from any historical importance) you are forced to search shelves, or wait while someone does it for you; some have been in print for a century; various reprints have appeared and since vanished." ~Eric Korn, Times Literary Supplement

The sun is shining, your shades are on and there's nothing ahead but miles and miles of enjoyment.
You love being behind the wheel on a nice warm day. But, as the temperatures rise so do your chances of encountering car trouble, bringing your joy ride to a screeching hot stop. To help keep you on the go, follow these tips from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, the Wall Street Journal and Consumer Reports.
Before Hitting the Road in Extreme Heat
- Check your cooling system (or have a professional do it). Make sure you have enough coolant in the tank, but also consider having your system flushed and refilled — especially if you can't remember the last time you had that done. Experts recommend this service about every 24 months. Don't forget to examine the hoses and belts under the hood, and even your radiator cap. It should be on tight enough to maintain the system's pressure.
- Gauge your tires. You should check your tire pressure (including the spare) once a month, before driving. They're sensitive to heat, which can increase pressure and the risk of a blowout.
- Test your AC. You don't want your air conditioning to fail during a warm-weather drive, so have a mechanic take a look if it's not operating at full-blast.
On the Road (and in the Parking Lot) When the Weather's Hot
- Carry an emergency kit. Every car needs emergency supplies. Make sure you have plenty of water in case you get stranded.
- Remember that it gets hot inside, too. The temperature inside a car can rise incredibly quickly on a warm day. When it's 90 degrees outside, it can take just 10 minutes for a car's interior to hit 110 or higher. So don't ever leave children or pets in a parked car (even in the shade) when it's warm out, and bring a cooler bag with some ice packs if you're grocery shopping. You should even be careful when you're getting into your car after it's been in the sun. Almost everyone has painful memories of touching a hot seatbelt buckle!
- Keep kids and pets hydrated. It's typically warmer in the back seat and cargo areas of SUVs, wagons and minivans, so make sure passengers are getting some air, and bring plenty of water and snacks.
- Keep your gas tank full (or close to it). Hot weather can sometimes bring power outages, which could prevent you from filling up when you really need it.
- Have an electric car? Watch the weather. Research has shown that extreme weather — hot or cold — can have a significant impact on the batteries of electric cars. In some instances, your travel range could drop by 40 percent or more.
What to Do If Your Car Overheats
Maybe you skipped a scheduled maintenance check. Or, maybe you're just having some bad luck. But, when you notice the temperature heading higher than the halfway point on your dashboard indicator, it's time to start thinking about what to do. These tactics may help:
- Turn off your AC and turn on your heat. Doing both can help take some stress off your engine.
- Pull over if it's safe. If your temperature dial shoots up, or you start seeing water or steam coming from under the hood, call a tow truck. If you see smoke coming from the car, get out and move away if you're able to do so safely.
- Be careful when examining the engine. Take care popping the hood, and don't open the radiator cap when your car is overheating.
- Add coolant or water only when the car is cool. You'll have to wait a while, but adding coolant or water to a hot engine can do significant damage.
Being mindful of the weather — and how to keep your car running smoothly in it — can help make sure you don't get burned this summer. Have fun and stay safe!

The new golf shop opened its doors to members and visitors on Saturday 3rd August with a ceremony lead by club president Tony Carrington.
The idea of converting the snooker room into a golf shop was first pitched 10 years ago by former captain and three-time chairman Edward Harris. Ed is no longer with us but we are delighted to finally see his vision come to fruition and thought it would be fitting to dedicate the shop to him. This has been commemorated with a plaque on the wall just outside of the entrance. Ed's widow Maggie Harris was invited to cut the ribbon and officially open the shop on Saturday evening.
Special thanks must go to Martin Finn for all the hard work he dedicated to building this shop. Without him this wouldn't have been possible.
We have new premium clothing in stock provided by Glenmuir and Greg Norman including polo shirts, jumpers, trousers, shorts, skorts and socks! The tops in the shop are of course pillar box red but if you wish to purchase club shirts in different colours, to wear whilst playing away matches or simply just playing on other courses, we have brochures in the shop from which you can place orders through us. We also have a sale on stock from the old pro shop that has the old logo embroidered on it.
The shop will be open from 7:30am every morning until 4:30pm. We hope you love the new shop and hope to see you pop in and see us soon!

I do most of my blogging on LinkedIn these days, at least anything that needs more than 250 words. Here's the LinkedIn stuff. I also write a bit about fitness on Medium and the freelance life at 100 Days, 100 Grand.
Tag Archives: copywriter
I am shocked and astonished…
Every so often, I write a jokey letter to a company whose products made an impression. Here's one to Eve Mattresses – finally, a sleep solution that doesn't involve all those horrendous cloth pockets and springs.
Freelance consultant? Why you should take credit cards
Professional services like consulting and copywriting aren't sectors you'd expect to accept credit cards; you can hardly imagine a sharp-suited ex-McKinsey guy or interim marketing director whipping out a card reader. Or can you?
I've recently started taking credit cards through my site Chris does Content, and it's had a surprising effect. Not so much for longstanding clients on retainer (although they have the option) – but in the first month after setting up card payments I've had several clients buy single days of my creative consultancy by card.
Why? I'm guessing three things matter:
– To escape the hassles of overseas PO'ing. With the vast majority of consulting-type tradespeople limiting their market to their own country or city, taking cards expands your market with little effort. (The clients who've taken it up so far are in France and Taiwan.) I've always had an international roster, but not everyone's lucky enough to have a background and contacts in Europe and Asia; taking cards exposes you to that broader audience.
– To enable faster response. If someone's putting me on their credit card, I know they need stuff fast – and if schedule allows I can usually move them to the front of the queue. With basically zero argument to be had over payment cycles, a exchange of emails is all it takes to get things started; how'd you like 2,000 words of SEO'd up copy 24 hours after first contact? Can do.
– To take advantage of extreme discounting. I'm currently offering a 25% discount for one-off projects paid for by card, and it seems to benefit both sides – the client gets a competitive price, I get paid in 3-5 days instead of the 60-90 day payment cycles many EU businesses work on.
If you're on your journey towards being a six figure freelancer, it's a useful addition to your payment options. Give it a go!
Dear bookshops: I'm sorry
I feel guilty whenever I visit a bookshop these days.
At first glance it's not obvious why. I read three books a week, buy several more. And as an indie author I depend on people buying books for an increasing chunk of my income.
But in the last four years, precisely 0 of those purchases have been on paper.
I'm a Kindle fanatic and a minimalist; I've given away half a thousand print books over the last year or two and my shelfspace at home doesn't even stretch to a metre. That combo is killer for any bookshop.
And I'm sorry.
From the bright detailing of the big chains to the musty corners of the independents that still dot Charing Cross Road, I enjoy them all. Browsing, visiting, wasting time. But unless there's a coffee shop, I no longer have any reason to buy anything in them. I am driving them out of business.
But just as no teenager today can believe we used to carry around music machines that stored a single album, I simply can't bring myself to buy the print edition of any book. Books take up too much space. How and why could I possibly justify purchasing a kilogram of dead tree, when a thin grey slate that weighs next to nothing can store two thousand of them?
Like I said, I'm sorry, bookshops.
But I'll make you a promise or two. It's not much, but it'll help. Maybe.
- I promise I won't come in to paw the books before buying them on Kindle. That's theft of resource, plain and simple. If I want to read the blurbs, I'll do it at Amazon.
- I promise I'll buy a coffee. If there's a tea stand out back, I'll stick around and buy a beverage, maybe a croissant or something. Even if I'm not hungry. I owe you that much.
- And I promise I'll do anything short of outright charity to keep you around. When you run Writers' Nights, I'll support them. When I want to rent space, I'll look at you first.
Let's face it, your business model is bleeding out, and unless you're a City Lights or a Shakespeare & Co you haven't got long. But our streets are richer for having you in them. And I really, really want you to stay.
This head's note to her pupils has gone viral. And it's wrong.
That's it, I've snapped. Could everyone raving about this head's letter to her pupils PLEASE try and See The World As It Really Is?
Here's why. The school has numerous advantages in educational terms. Its cachement is wealthier and more homogenous than average (easier to teach). And it has a large intake (resources per child go further). If any school should be at the top of its game, this one should.
Yet it's rated merely "good" by Ofsted. (Which means "bad" in the nuanced argot of inspections.) Its exam results are BELOW AVERAGE.
Despite having every advantage in the book, this school is not succeeding.
Could that be the real reason its head sends letters like this… to deflect attention from what really matters?
Aside from being poorly written (packed with bad grammar and overlong paragraphs) the letter's takeaway is that "education doesn't matter much". All you have to do is let it all hang out and be yourself. No suggestion you might be able to change yourself for the better. To take control of your own existence and be self-actualised. Where's the ambition? The drive? The urge to succeed, the celebration of success? Nowhere.
"You're perfect as you are" might be a nice thing to say to kids, but it's poor prep for life.
See the World as it Really Is, people. This school sucks, and it's because of the namby-pamby fuzzy-thinking liberal-leftie attitudes displayed by this so-called teacher.
Adding a second dimension: the Nolan Chart
The Nolan chart gives form to what happened in the EU elections… and why those you'd think of as right of centre, like me, aren't happy with its swing rightwards.
Politics isn't a single Left-Right axis; it's a boston box, with both small-state and big-state variants of Left and Right. I'm a hardcore libertarian (NOT "liberal"), at the extreme top-right: favouring high personal freedom and high economic freedom. On the left side, the bottom left would be socialism and the top left traditional liberalism.
The UK's big three parties each occupy one quadrant: Lib Dems top left, Cons in the top right, and Labour bottom left. As nominally centrist parties, each is in the approx centre of its quadrant, with Ed Miliband's lot maybe slightly further southwest and David Cameron a bit further northeast.
UKIP (and the other far-right parties that won on Sunday) often call themselves libertarian, but are actually pretty low on personal freedoms. (As we'd find out if they exercised real power.) So all belong at the bottom right, many of them at the extreme southeast corner.
Seen in this context, Nigel Farage's success is easy to understand: he simply saw the open marketspace and moved into it. Politics, like life, can often be understood by the dynamics of marketing.
This mailing to a cold list got 19% response. Here's how I did it.
It might not look much. But this one-page letter to a cold list (part of my 100 Days, 100 Grand project) returned an incredible response rate… between ten and twenty times what a snail mail campaign usually delivers. (And hundreds of times what you'd expect from anything beginning with "e-".)
One director called it "the best piece of direct mail [he'd] received since starting the agency".
As an exercise in navel-gazing, here's the text of the letter… with my notes on why I think it worked.
Opening para: making friends
Nobody writes proper letters any more, do they? The kind you open without a click. Scribble notes in the margins. And delete with a crumple. When you do get a proper letter, you notice it.
Ah, the kick-off. It breaks most of today's rules: no upfront offer, no call-to-action. It's a preamble.
But… it interests you, doesn't it? A straightforward truth: you don't get personal letters any more. A real person wrote this, thinks the reader. And I'm guessing most of them got past this para without aiming it into the circular file. Takeout: before establishing your offer, first establish you're human.
Body copy: setting the scene
I noticed «COMPANY». Because you're sky-high in SEO for "«CUSTOMPARA1»". (As I am for "London copywriter".) I'm writing in the hope you'll notice me. Because your "«CUSTOMPARA2»" approach syncs with what I do: custom copy for content marketers.
This para's where I swing in the big guns: extreme personalisation in the mailmerge fields. (With a parenthetical riff on my own SEO rank.)
«CUSTOMPARA1» is the search phrase I used to build my list: the first few pages of Google results are, by definition, hot prospects. While «CUSTOMPARA2» is the agency's (they were all agencies) approach to its work lifted from its website. (It's usually a punchy portmanteau term like attract-convert-repeat.) So we've established rapport: I know what they do, and I took some effort to find out.
Callout 1
Add chrisdoescontent.com to your list of freelancers...
Now here's the first part of the offer, centred and highlighted as if with a yellow pen. It only took two paras to get here, and it jumps off the page – most importantly, it tells the reader what they've got to do. Something a surprising number of mailings forget.
The support act…
Why use me? Because I've done a lot of what you want. My stuff combines fresh ideas (I'm an indie novelist on the side) with experience gained at top-10 ad agencies (200+ campaigns and 1000+ articles across Asia and Europe.) All backstopped by research methods from a top-1% MBA that keep the insights solid. That's why clients use me for years and stay friends forever. More at chrisdoescontent.com/what.
Once your reader's interested you need to give them a reason to stick around, so I added the backup. Hard numbers and facts are what work here; your readers are getting down to business, and the touchy-feeliness of the intro is over. (Well, almost.) Yes, I do what it says on the tin. Now questions are forming, it's also time for a link.
… with backing dancers
While I haven't worked for clients on your roster, like «CUSTOMPARA3» or «CUSTOMPARA4», I have created campaigns and programmes for big names like «CUSTOMPARA5». I'm mostly B2B, in tech /media /telecoms, finance, healthcare, automotive and aerospace. Know-how that may be of use to you: hit the ground running and all that...
Into the mailmerge forest again. The data here took ages to extract. <<3>> and <<4>> are the names of actual clients on the prospect's roster. There's no fast way to build metadata like this; until The Semantic Web hits its stride (at least another decade) trawling through websites by hand is the only option.
And <<CUSTOMPARA5>> is a handpicked selection of my clients – clients which match as closely as possible the sectors the prospect operates in. I'm moving in closer with every sentence.
...but it's pricey, right? Nope. Try £450 for a 1,000wd+ research paper or consideration content, less for snacks and snippets elsewhere on the nurturing pathway. Or £225 for a 500wd listicle with metadata. And turnaround times that can drop to 24 hours if your deadline's hot.
It's time for go in for the kill. Content marketing – the point of this mailing – is price-sensitive, and while I try not to compete on price, it's a reality of this space. I simply worked out what I need to work up a killer article (half a day min) and priced it in.
You can lean on me for teasers, pages, posts, blogs... Buzzfeeds, featurettes, infographics, and newsletters... microsites and Case Studies and White Papers. The whole kit and caboodle, with metas, tags and links whomped up and ready to go. I've worked on platforms from WordPress to HubSpot to Uberflip to SlideShare, in formats as diverse as PPC, ePub, and XML. I'm also conversant with 12 CMSs, HTML5 and CSS. See chrisdoescontent.com/portfolio for the exhibit.
Notice I used a couple of buzzwords in the previous para – listicle, metadata – to show I've got a grip on social and content marketing? They were warmups.
In this most verbose paragraph in the letter, I list the applications and formats I think they work with, and will expect me to know. It's filler, but solid filler.
Callout 2
...and get your first content marketing brief answered for FREE
Again highlighted, the second of the 2 callouts communicates my offer without anyone needing to read the body copy. (As any good piece of marketing should.)
Closing para and call-to-action
But there's one thing you don't get: hassle. Contact me with a brief; I'll write you a sample you can use at no cost. I'm on 07876 635340 or email@example.com; current availability's about 9 days/mth. Let's talk.
It's time to sign off. All the boxes are ticked here: offer front and centre, with a note that subtly communicates further proofs (I'm available, but not too available, 'cos that'd mean I'm no good.) Hammered home with a homily.
Do I need to mention the letter was personally signed? My wrist's still sore.
Footer block
PS. You can download a PDF of this letter from chrisdoescontent.com/?attachment_id=«xxxx». (All right, proper letters don't work for everything. Let me know if you went all TL;DR on me.)
Every sales letter needs a PS. This one adds a neat trick: I uploaded each individual letter (not the template) to my site, and the reader can download the exact letter he received by clicking a unique URL. I finish the way all sales letters should: with a chuckle that gets the reader's head nodding.
How could it be improved?
Being self-critical is a good trait for any copywriter, so here's what I think I did wrong.
First, I should have put the offer in the postscript somehow. People still scan down to a PS before they get into the body copy. And using the too long; didn't read euphemism was borderline; while agency bosses are web-savvy, they don't always speak geek.
Second, the transition between the opening and second paras doesn't quite hit the mark. I talk about letters being noticed, yet when "I notice them" it's not because I got a letter. Small stuff, but it's lapses like these that make tears in a piece of copy's overall fabric.
Third, the backup in the middle. Lengthwise it works, but I'm divided as to its density. Too much jargon? Am I sounding clever rather than intelligent? On the edge.
But ultimately, this letter worked for me, so you be your own judge. And if you'd like me to do some content marketing for you – or just write you a sales letter or two – contact me here.

Don't ya just love holidays??
I needed a new little something to wear on Valentine's Day.
I had a cardboard heart laying around on my desk just begging
to be played with. I painted it white and wrapped it in cherry
Divine Twine.
I added a bit of rickrack around the edges.
Sweet but, it needed a little something. So, I dug threw my stash
and landed on these vintage plastic flower pieces.
I stacked a couple of flowers and added a vintage button.... done.
Now should it be a pin or a hair clip...... dilemma.
I decided on the pin.

I've been doing it again. I've been trying to go back and rescue myself, which is impossible. No wonder I've been feeling hopeless, because it's a task that I have no hope of being able to accomplish. Unfortunately, when I fall into trying to do this, I trap myself in re-experiencing trauma memory after trauma memory. As Mama Bear said today, it wouldn't be so bad if my adult was witnessing it and supporting the child part, but I go into the child part and simply re-experience the trauma. Nothing good comes from re-experiencing trauma over and over. It doesn't facilitate healing; all that it does is stir up trauma symptoms to some degree or other.
In my session today, Mama Bear urged me to not engage with every memory, but to instead practice simply letting them be. I told her that it felt like a betrayal of the child part to leave her to the memory, to which Mama Bear replied, "C., you are thinking as though the child part is a real child inside of you, not a part of you."
I stopped, stunned, but soon realized that she was correct. I was acting as though I needed to rescue a real child- a child whose needs I needed to put before my own. But as separate as the parts can sometimes feel, we are all a part of the same whole. I was forgetting that the distress that I feel now when I engage with the memories is every bit as important as the distress that I remember. And even worse, by putting myself back in the memory in a futile attempt to help the child that I was, I was instead helping to keep all of me in that distress. I have to remember: I'm not trying to rescue a child; I'm trying to rescue me. All of me. In some ways the now me is the most important, or at least where the ultimate healing needs to be focused, because that is where I should be living and that is where all of the best stuff is. I don't want to live my childhood over again, but really living now could be a very good thing.
Then Mama Bear dropped the real bombshell on me: "You have already lived through everything that happened to you. You don't need to experience every detail of it again. What you needed was for the adults in you life to see what was going on then." That's exactly what I have been doing. I have been acting as if my being there with the child part during the abuse will somehow change what happened. I desperately want to change what happened. But I can't change it now. I did the best that I could to deal with it then and I couldn't change it then. I needed an adult to change what happened. I have never had the ability to change what happened to me; that ability lay outside of me and I had to rely on the adults to do what they should do. It's not my fault that they didn't.
I'm not sure whether it is more freeing or heartbreaking to take in that stopping the abuse was out of my control. Mama Bear reminds me that I wasn't fully helpless, because I got myself through what happened and got myself to where I am now, but in terms of stopping the abuse, I was helpless. Helpless sounds bad, but in this case, because it is the truth, there is a good facet to it. It absolves me of the responsibility for stopping the abuse, for saving myself. It isn't my fault. It isn't my shame that it happened. It wasn't that I let it happen; it was that I had no control over the actions of the adults in my life. Stopping an abusive adult requires the intervention of another adult. I couldn't make it happen on my own.
I can stop trying to make it up to myself. It wasn't my fault that I couldn't save myself. I may need to repeat that to myself a lot before I fully believe it.

Companies have always been left with the burden of keeping and organizing files. But as boring as it may sound, keep appropriate records and know how long to keep them is essential for businesses of any size. Needless to say, have a sound and reliable file retention policy on the side while the business operates has become indispensable.
The unfriendly regulatory environment that companies face has become a major factor that led to the need to have a good record retention policies. Big companies earning millions of dollars may face multiple lawsuits from time to time. This has caused them to invest in eDiscovery software and other ways to improve document management To respond if someone takes them to justice. But it is not just a multi-million dollar business that took a record retention and management to a higher level. Even mid to small sized businesses have recognized the need for good records retention policy.
surge in electronically stored information (ESI) for the subject to use computers in their daily work has also contributed to the search for better record retention policies. Unlike paper documents, electronic data is more complicated to manage.
main purpose of the record retention policy is self-protection when faced with legal action. A poor record retention management could cause millions of dollars in lawsuit fines. The sensitivity of the issues involved in the record retention has caused discussion about how it could successfully be implemented. But most would still agree that a more effective way to establish a reliable record retention policy by using a third-party eDiscovery software and document retention policy solution.

Supreme Court of Maine
July 13, 2017
ROWLAND S. WHITTETv.DANIEL C. WHITTET
Submitted On Briefs: June 29, 2017
Rowland S. Whittet, appellant pro se.
F. Levenseler, Esq., and Edward M. Collins, Esq., Hanscom,
Collins & Hall, PA, Rockland, for appellee Daniel C.
SAUFLEY, C.J., and ALEXANDER, MEAD, GORMAN, JABAR, and
Rowland S. Whittet appeals from a judgment of the Superior
Court (Knox County, Stokes, /.) granting a permanent
injunction and authorizing, pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 66, a
special master to proceed with the sale of a parcel of real
estate located in Rockport. Our review in this appeal is
limited to the court's orders of December 15 and 22,
2016, and Daniel C. Whittet's motion, filed in this
appeal, for sanctions.[1]
Because Rowland (1) has failed to provide transcripts of the
relevant proceedings or a substitute to allow for adequate
appellate review, (2) mounts untimely challenges to earlier
decisions of the trial court not at issue in this appeal, and
(3) has made no argument as to why the court erred in issuing
the December 2016 orders, we affirm the judgment. See
Springer v. Springer, 2009 ME 118, ¶¶ 7-8, 984
A.2d 828 (stating that where there is an inadequate record to
review, we are "bound to accept the court's factual
findings and to assume that they are supported by sufficient
competent evidence in the record"); Holland v.
Sebunya, 2000 ME 160, ¶ 9 n.6, 759 A.2d 205
("The failure to mention an issue in the brief or at
argument is construed as either an abandonment or a failure
to preserve that issue.").
Pursuant to M.R. App. P. 13(f), we may award costs, expenses,
or attorney fees as a sanction for appeals that are
"frivolous, contumacious, or instituted primarily for
the purpose of delay." "Sanctions are appropriate
in egregious cases, " namely when a party seeks relief
"with no reasonable likelihood of prevailing, "
thereby increasing litigation costs and wasting time and
resources. Estate of Dineen, 2006 ME 108, ¶ 8,
904 A.2d 417 (quotation marks omitted). "To support a
finding of frivolousness, some degree of fault is required,
but the fault need not be a wicked or subjectively reckless
state of mind; rather, an individual must, at the very least,
be culpably careless to commit a violation." Lincoln
v. Burbank, 2016 ME 138, ¶ 46, 147 A.3d 1165
(quotation marks omitted).
Rowland's opposition to the motion for sanctions, filed
one day late, contains arguments and unsupported allegations
with little apparent relevance to either the motion for
sanctions or the merits of the appeal. In a 2013 judgment,
the trial court proposed several contingent dispositions of
the real estate to sensibly resolve this protracted dispute
between the parties. Despite a number of court decisions to
the contrary, including a 2016 finding of contempt,
Rowland continues to maintain that he has complied with the
2013 judgment and is entitled to full, unencumbered ownership
of the disputed property. His subjective belief is belied by
the numerous decisions that have rejected the same meritless
claims and arguments that he continues to make in this
appeal[3]-claims and arguments that have effectively
delayed enforcement of the 2013 judgment and wasted time and
resources. See Lincoln, 2016 ME 138, ¶ 46 &
n.8, 147 A.3d 1165; Harriman v. Border Tr. Co., 2004
ME 28, ¶¶ 6-7, 842 A.2d 1266 (sanctioning party for
pursuing duplicative and vexatious litigation for the
purposes of harassment and delay). We accordingly impose a
sanction of attorney fees and treble costs. See M.R.
App. P. 13(f). Daniel C. Whittet will be awarded attorney
fees in the amount of $4, 517.00 and treble costs in the
amount of $216.24 for a total award of $4, 733.24.
entry is:
C. Whittet's motion for sanctions is granted. He is
hereby awarded attorney fees and treble costs in the amount
of $4, 733.24.

Our family's favorite Kosher dill pickles – Kosher dills with lots of fresh dill and garlic.
I've been "puttin' up" again, y'all! This time it was our favorite kosher dill pickles. And when I say favorite, I really mean these are a favorite.
My daughter and grandson almost beg for these pickles every year. As a matter of fact, my old recipe notes say that the summer before A was born, I put up 30 quarts of these dills. By the time he was born in September over half of them were gone.
Use Proper Canning Procedures!
Before I get started with the recipe, I want to take a minute to mention the importance of using proper canning procedures. If you haven't canned before, or if it's been a while since your last canning session, please review the process and get all your equipment ready before you start.
One of the best resources for new and seasoned canners alike is the Ball Blue Book. It's published by the people who make the Ball canning jars. It's available in lots of locations and on the web at amazon.com.
Some other good online resources are:
- National Center for Home Food Preservation (University of Georgia)
- Home Food Preservation Site (Pennsylvania State University)
- The USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning
- "Some Canning Do's and Don'ts" from The New York Times
The National Center for Home Food Preservation even offers a free online course in food preservation. It's well worth the time for the amount of information you get!
Now, let's get started making pickles!
Our family's favorite dill pickles - Kosher dills with lots of fresh dill and garlic. Click To Tweet
How to Make Favorite Kosher Dills
Prepare the Produce
Peel and halve the garlic. Trim the dill and set both aside.
Prepare the cucumbers by removing 1/16 inch from the blossom end of each. You'll need to remove that tiny little sliver because there is an enzyme that remains in the blossom end of cucumbers which will cause your pickles to become soft while in storage. Cut into halves or quarters as you wish.
Prepare the Canning Jars, Lids, and Rings
Wash your jars, lids, and bands in good, hot soapy water. Rinse them well making sure all traces of soap are removed.
Set the bands aside. Place the lids in barely simmering water and leave them there until they are needed later in the process.
Fill the canner with water and bring it to the boil. I like to put my jars in the canner and let them heat up along with the water. Some people hold them in a 200 degree oven. This just works best for me. You always want to fill hot jars. Putting hot food in a cold jar can cause breakage. Likewise, putting a cold jar of food into boiling water is just asking for all your hard work to end up in the bottom of the canner.
Remember you're working with lots of boiling water when canning. Always use a jar lifter for removing jars from the hot water to prevent scalding.
Fill the Jars
The recipe for our favorite kosher dills is simple. Cucumbers, salt, peppercorns, dill, garlic, vinegar, and water. Adjust the amounts according to the number of quarts you're making. I always make these pickles in quart jars so that I can keep the cucumber halves intact. If using pints, you'd need to cut the halves across and use only half the amounts I give for each jar.
For each quart jar of pickles, bring 1 cup water and 1 cup vinegar to the boil.
Meanwhile, in each jar place 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon dill seed (or 3 heads fresh dill), 6 black peppercorns and 2 halved garlic cloves. Note that each dill head counts as a teaspoon of dill seed. I only had a few heads this time so I used one head of dill and 2 teaspoons of seeds in each jar.
Pack the halved or quartered cucumbers into the hot jars.
Using a canning funnel, pour the boiling vinegar and water solution over the jar contents leaving 1/2 inch of headspace (the space between the top of the liquid and the top of the jar).
I realized right before I was about to put the lids and rings on that I had not included the garlic in the jars. Yikes! Just goes to show you that with this recipe it's never too late to add an ingredient. You could even sneak a hot red pepper in there if you wanted to!
Wipe the top rim of each jar carefully with a dampened paper towel. This is to make sure that there is nothing on there which would prevent the lid from forming a complete seal.
Place the lids on top of the jars and screw on the rings until just finger tight. Don't force the rings or tighten too much. The jars must be able to expel air during the canning process in order to create the seal.
Process Using Low Temp Method
Place the jars in the canner rack and lower them into the simmering hot water. Place the cover on the pot. Process in simmering hot water (180-185 degrees) for 15 minutes (low temp pasteurization method).
Notes about processing times: Normally, you begin timing at the point that the water has returned to the boil. However, for these pickles I use what is called the low temperature pasteurization method. This method can only be used for high acid recipes and must be monitored carefully to make sure the water remains above 180 degrees for the entire processing time.
Processing time must also be adjusted for altitude. For this recipe, the processing time is 15 minutes for altitudes from sea level to 1,000 feet, 20 minutes for altitudes from 1,001 to 6,000 feet and 25 minutes for altitudes over 6,000 feet.
Cool Jars Completely Before Storing
Remove jars from canner, place on a clean dish towel and allow them to cool completely (24 hours recommended). After jars are completely cooled, you may remove the bands. Be sure to test for a complete seal. Any jars that failed to seal are not shelf stable but may be placed in the refrigerator.
You will notice when you remove the jars from the canner that the cucumbers have become a more olive color and there is undissolved salt in the bottom of the jar. That is normal. By the time the jars have cooled overnight all the salt will have dissolved.
Store the jars in a dark, cool place. I recommend six weeks of standing time for the flavors to fully develop.
