In intra-GPTX correspondence, Palmer referred to the action as "our Hail Mary." (That's an American football metaphor, in case you're not familiar with it.) The reason it seemed like a last-minute desperation bomb was that the case would be taken up after the state's official deadline for publishing of ballots. Apparently some counties had already printed, and even sent, mail-in ballots. Indeed the Court's opinion acknowledges Democratic Railroad Commission candidate Chrysta Castañeda's contention that the case was already moot.
It's important to remember that this decision does not find the filing fee provision in HB 2504 unconstitutional. The federal case still pending may make such a finding, but that won't happen until June 2021 at the earliest. With all that in mind, at last night's Zoom meeting of the GPTX State Executive Committee, I floated the idea of a fundraising campaign for a dedicated fund to pay filing fees for Green candidates. I couched my pitch in phraseology like now that this party has reached the age of majority, it's time for it to grow up and act like an actual party. GPTX as currently constituted will turn 21 next spring. Palmer agrees with me on that.
One of the cool ramifications of the Supreme Court's opinion is that there is no need to pay filing fees when a candidate files. There is no deadline specified in the relevant sections of the Election Code for paying fees—or, one would assume, the petition signatures in lieu of fees. Greens, Libertarians, and any other parties that gain ballot access can wait until after their nominating conventions and pay only for the nominees. That would certainly help avoid what happened this past spring, when two people filed to run as Greens, paid their fees, and were subsequently defeated by None of the Above at the Green Convention. Under current law, the Secretary of State's Office would be under no compulsion to refund the fees to candidates who do not win nomination.
Below are a couple of excerpts from the opinion that I found important and revelatory, with citations included this time. (Emphasis: boldface mine, underlines theirs.)
To be entitled to mandamus relief, Castañeda was required to establish that the Green Party co-chairs had a ministerial duty to declare the candidates ineligible. See In re Williams, 470 S.W.3d 819, 821 (Tex. 2015) (holding that mandamus may issue to compel performance of a ministerial act). "An act is ministerial when the law clearly spells out the duty to be performed by the official with sufficient certainty that nothing is left to the exercise of discretion." Id. (quoting Anderson v. City of Seven Points, 806 S.W.2d 791, 793 (Tex. 1991)). For the reasons explained below, Castañeda failed to prove the Election Code clearly spelled out the duty of the co-chairs to declare the Green Party candidates ineligible for their failure to pay the filing fee, and the court of appeals therefore erred in ordering their removal from the ballot.
In this case, the court of appeals concluded that because the Green Party candidates had not paid the filing fee, they were ineligible and the co-chairs had a statutory duty to declare them ineligible. ___ S.W.3d at ___. The court relied on section 145.003, which requires the co-chairs to review a public record presented to them concerning a candidate's eligibility and declare a candidate ineligible if "facts indicating that the candidate is ineligible are conclusively established by another public record." Id. at ___ (quoting TEX. ELEC. CODE § 145.003(f), (g)) (emphasis added). "In election cases . . . we are constrained in our interpretation by the principle that any statutory provision that restricts the right to hold office must be strictly construed against ineligibility." State v. Hodges, 92 S.W.3d 489, 494–95 (Tex. 2002); see also In re Francis, 186 S.W.3d at 542 & n.34. We therefore interpret the statutory provisions at issue with a candidate's access to the ballot in mind.

Fun Pianos duels out of summer into fall
Different areas of the country have different trends, something we've noticed in 14+ years of serving the Fun Pianos! by 176 Keys Dueling Pianos show throughout the entire country.
One things that is consistent everywhere, from Phoenix to Nebraska to Illinois, Florida and everywhere else is that summers are slower than the rest of the year. This is not to say we have nothing to do: weddings, county fairs, and other community events happen every week. But while folks in Phoenix want to get out of the sweltering heat, People in Iowa and Minnesota want to hit the water, North Dakota friends want to get together while they have a few weeks of sun…the events we play in the summer are generally the community and family minded events of weddings and festivals.
With fall comes the return of college events (including Texas and South Dakota in a couple weeks), corporate engagements and more of the full list of events we've been playing for well over 10 years.
This weekend, we're spreading our roster to Tucson, Chadron Nebraska, Beatrice Nebraska, Sedalia Missouri, and Reinbeck Iowa. After more shows in Canton Illinois and Rough Kentucky next week, we have a very busy week, with shows every day but Wednesday in Cincinnati, Rapid City, Kearney, Bloomington Indiana, Okoboji Iowa, west Texas, Madison Wisconsin and Woodland Hills (north of Los Angeles and Hollywood). With a small break when we have just one holiday weekend show (a wedding party in Plymouth Nebraska, outside of Lincoln), we're back at it the next week, hitting Colorado, Kansas, Williston North Dakota and Omaha.
Summer is coming to close, and the "real new year" is about to begin: School, Fall, Football…and Fun Pianos!

Wacker Chemie AG, a Germany-based chemical group, has started operating several silicone
polymer production lines at its Burghausen site, the company announced on July 5. The lines are for high-purity specialty silicones, encapsulation and coating compounds, as well as UV-activated silicones for the medical, LED and electronics industries.
The new facility meets Wacker's novel Clean Operations principles and thus fulfills quality and purity standards otherwise only typical of the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries. "In general, this plant is operating according to selected Good Manufacturing Practice principles, which makes it one of a kind worldwide," said Dr Bernd Pachaly, Head of the Engineering Silicones Business Unit.
Production, filling and logistics are housed separately and can only be accessed from outside via special airlocks. Particularly strict regulations apply to filling operations. Aside from special stipulations regarding clothing and hygiene, air and particle filters ensure compliance with the international ISO standard for class 8 cleanrooms.
Also, every single production step is monitored and documented constantly. "This is how we can make sure that our products leave the plant in top condition and meet all required quality standards," explained Dr Pachaly.
The new clean-operations facility produces Silpuran and Elastosil silicone elastomers for medical applications, as well as highly specialized Lumisil, Semicosil, and Wacker SilGel silicone products for encapsulating and coating electronic components. There is also a production line for UV silicones.

Memoir 44 – Pointe-du-Hoc
I played my third game of Memoir 44 for the Six-by-Six Challenge, this one being a simulation of the assault by the US Rangers on the cliff top positions at Pointe-du-Hoc. The deployment map below shows the cliffs overlooking the beach up which the elite Rangers would attack the various German emplacements and positions.
In this one either side had to gain 4 medals for victory, for which the Allies had the additional opportunities of capturing the wood hexes at the top of the board.
I played this one solo (both my possible opponents were at work while ironically I was on holiday – you can tell they are getting older and now both have university studies to fund) and therefore for once I could not lose. As with the previous games this did seem to be all about playing against the cards. The Allies had a whole series of right flank cards when everything they had was on the left or in the centre. Eventually this told when for a turn or two the Allies could do little but exchange cards while the Germans were able to rush up to them and shoot them to pieces, although even here the German battle dice were remarkably poor. In the end it was a clear German victory although it had hung in the balance for a few turns.
I remain to be convinced by Memoir 44. It may be quick and have a sumptuous looking board but there seems to be little opportunity to come up with a strategy for each scenario that cannot fall foul of the capriciousness of the cards. I get the fact that the gamer should not have "god-like powers" of control but there really ought to be a bit more reward for more carefully thought out play. I think I will play out my 6 games and then think seriously about returning Memoir 44 to eBay.

American streaming service giant Netflix unveiled its plans for 17 made-in-Asia programmes next year, while the likes of Hollywood actress Robin Wright and Mexican actor Diego Luna provided star power at its content showcase in Singapore.
See What's Next: Asia - the first such event in the region - was held at Marina Bay Sands yesterday, and continues today, as the company aims to strengthen its position outside of the United States and gain international subscribers.
Some of the upcoming Asian titles announced include Netflix's first foray into Thai-language programming with Shimmers and The Stranded.
Horror series Shimmers is about five teenagers who are haunted by the ghosts of their past in Chiang Mai, Thailand, while island mystery The Stranded will be directed by Sophon Sakdaphisit, the writer of acclaimed horror flick Shutter (2004).
Other titles to look out for include a slate of anime productions from Japan, including Pacific Rim, the anime series inspired by the hit 2003 Hollywood movie of the same name, as well as Altered Carbon, the anime adaptation of Netflix's live-action sci-fi cyberpunk series.
Taiwan will also offer a new Chinese-language programme with the romantic comedy series Triad Princess starring Eugenie Liu and Jasper Liu, while South Korea will release a period zombie series titled Kingdom.
The line-up of original content from India will be announced today.
Chief content officer Ted Sarandos said to a room of 300 journalists from around the region: "The beauty of Netflix is that we can take never seen before stories from South Korea, Thailand, Japan, India, Taiwan or elsewhere and easily connect them to people all over Asia and the world.
"More than half of Asian content hours viewed on Netflix this year are viewed outside the region, so we have confidence that our upcoming slate of Asian productions will find fans in their home countries and abroad."
Wright, 52, the star of Netflix's first original series House Of Cards (2013 to 2018), pointed out how the reverse is also true - viewers from all around the world are interested in her show even though it is specifically about American politics.
The actress, who plays scheming politician Claire Underwood in the series, said: "Every country I go to, I'm always shocked and surprised by how many people know House Of Cards in abundance.
"I guess it's because the show is really about the art of war, which is how politics works in every country.
"Yes, the show is Machiavellian and dramatic, but there's truth in it."
She did not mention her former co-star Kevin Spacey, who was abruptly fired from the show late last year in the wake of a string of sexual abuse allegations against him.
His character, President Francis Underwood, is killed off in the sixth and final season of House Of Cards, which was released on Netflix last week. Wright, who plays his wife, succeeds him as president.
She said: "I feel proud that we accomplished our goal... and concluded it the way we intended and close it out for the fans."
Now that the show has ended, Wright added: "I will miss her clothes and her shoes."
Later, Luna and American actor Michael Pena spoke about their upcoming show Narcos: Mexico, which looks at a drug war in Mexico. It was the first trip to Singapore for both of them and they were clearly excited.
Luna, 38, said: "This feels like a dream. I come from somewhere that is 14 hours behind, so this is the future for me.
"I called my kids and said, 'I'm in the future, guys.'"
Pena, 42, said of Marina Bay Sands: "I've been in only the hotel so far and it's as big as some cities. I might not even have to leave."

Wow. I have been busy. It seems my life goes in silly cycles. Off cycle things are low key and I find myself bored and looking for something to do. However, On cycle, well that's just intense. I'm never home and have no time and instead remain crazy busy. Being the social butterfly I am, I certainly prefer the on cycle. There's something about being constantly on the go that just works better for me. I find myself getting sad when I've got time on my hands. Too much time to think and reflect. I prefer a steady hustle and bustle, with my only down time being when I'm driving from place to place or in the shower. Which is how the last week or so has been going.
As I mentioned in my last post, I've signed on as an independent distributor with ItWorks! Global. I absolutely love the botanically based products that I have seen with my own eyes work and I am beyond excited to bring them to my friends. One of our best and most notable products are the "Crazy Wrap Things" or the Ultimate Body Applicators. During the launch week of my being with the company, I focused on wrapping my friends at a discounted rate. It's been awesome seeing the results and how excited my friends are at seeing their own bodies tightening, toning, and firming in as little as 45 minutes. As with every new endeavor, I'm a little nervous going into this. Failure is always a huge fear of mine, but after WidowU with The American Widow Project, I've learned to not listen to the nasty whisperings of self-doubt and I have decided that failure is not an option. So in turn, I've been busy with this business, but so far I love it. I'm excited that in one week it is already growing and I'm happy to see others getting into it and paving their own way, too. If you're interested in earning some extra money and would like to join my team OR if you're interested in trying out our amazing products, please do not hesitate to check out my site or email me here or at email@example.com. I've never been big on self advertising here in my space where I come to share and vent and reach out, but this is something that I actually think is totally worth sharing and I know that several of my blog friends would benefit getting involved and I wouldn't want to keep it from ya.
Along with the business, I've had plenty of time to have a little fun this passed week. I got to have a girl's night out and surprisingly met some cool people. I have been learning that I seriously need to stop focusing on how old I am getting and just revel in the fact that I am still awesome regardless of my age. Although meeting successful 21 and 22 year olds sometimes squashes that fact... haha. I spent some time at Quantico with some very good friends. I really wish I made trips down there more often because these friends are like family to me and it's tough to not see each other as often as we used to.
This Saturday, I had the honor of attending the retirement ceremony for Col. Will Costantini. I met Carrie, Will's wife back at my first Blog World Expo experience in 2011 in Las Vegas. Carrie is a riot and one of the greatest people I have ever met. She's a voice for military families, wounded service members and of course good ol' gold star families like mine. She is such a genuine woman and I'm honored to call her a friend. Her husband has served in the Marine Corps since the beginning of time (ok I'm exaggerating) and from what I heard at the ceremony was an incredible Marine, a great leader, and is a standup guy all around. They are awesome folks. The ceremony was really nice. In fact, it was basically in the commandant's back yard. I'm still reeling a little bit that I was not only invited to a ceremony in the commandant's back yard, but that I enjoyed a Bloody Mary and kind of lounged while I was there (I know, you can dress me up but can't take me anywhere), in all seriousness it was beautiful and the things the fellas who worked with Will had to say about him really said a lot about his character.
I also got to see MilBlog friends that I hadn't seen in a while as well as meet some more. I love the MilBlog folks, I had such a fun time. We adventured down to Quantico and ate at the famous Globe and Laurel. I've got to say, that restaurant is sooo rad. USMC stuff everywhere, even inside the tables. And the food was mighty tasty as well.
Then we journeyed on over to the Marine Corps Museum. I've got to say that was a little rough for me. The last time I went was with Jonathan. I looked around and I could see him in places we'd walked, up on a hill I made him stand to take a photo, on the concrete blocks by the door... the silly things we did replayed in my mind. But I've got to say I think I held it together pretty well and I enjoyed the walk through the park and all of the memorials they have out there. And the chapel that they have there - is SO money! Haha, seriously it's beautiful and amazing and you should go have a peek if ever you get the chance.
I left from the shindig I stopped in Columbia, MD and excellent halfway point for a birthday gathering for my friend and Phi Mu Sister Shannon. I'm really happy with how often I've gotten to see my sisters this summer, I've had so much fun. Shannon is such a good person and I am really happy I made it in time to celebrate with her. I also did some crazy dancing with a British boy. It was fun. I love dancing. Even if I'm terrible at it.

Look closer at the plume. Most of what you see if water vapour, if you look closely at the initial plume, you can see the blueish haze indicitive of sulphuric acid mist (SAM) from their new NOx reducing SCR. The majority is a steam plume, that goes pretty near to the county seat of Bedford, home of the Town and Country restaurant with the really neat neon sign.

On Friday, 9th September 2016, a fighting patrol team of 33 Brigade Nigerian Army following a tip off had contact with suspected kidnappers at Lame Burra forest near Dutsen Ganye, Gunduru and Kati Layin villages, Bauchi State. During a heavy exchange of fire, the troops killed 7 of the kidnappers and destroyed their camps. They also recovered 2 AK-47 rifles and 3 Dane guns at the camp.
The troops are still combing the general area to further track down other fleeing members of the criminal gang.
It is important to state that the Brigade after the initial successes of its Operation FOREST KUNAMA, which was aimed at clearing all livestock rustlers and armed bandits camps in Bauchi and Gombe States general area, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) directed them to maintain continued presence at the Lame-Burra forest. This is to prevent the criminal elements that fled from returning.
Subsequently, 2 Forward Operation Bases (FOBs) were established at Lame and Jimi to cover the Lame and Burra axis of the forest respectively. Troops usually carry out periodic fighting patrols into the forest from the FOBs.
In a related development, troops on Operation LAFIYA DOLE deployed at Forward Operation Base (FOB), Buratai in conjunction with local vigilante arrested a suspected Boko Haram terrorist named Adamu Damuna. He is currently being interrogated.

You may have heard me mention Getting Things Done (GTD) by David Allen in previous posts, this book is definitely worth a read. It has single handed improved the way I organise and manage my life. Some maybe put off as I was initially thinking this was just for businesses but the methods can be applied to all areas of your life whether that is at home or at work.
For those of you who are not familiar with the GTD methodology and do not have the book to hand here is a link to a 15 Minute Guide to GTD which I use frequently when I do not have my book with me.
David Allen mentions in this book that our brain naturally goes through a planning model which he refers to as the Natural Planning Model. This the process our brain takes when accomplishing tasks and should be applied when we are planning our projects.
So let's go into detail. There are 5 steps or phases to the Natural Planning Model.
Phase 1: Defining Purpose and Principles
This is where you ask 'Why?', what is the aim of what you are intending to do? This phase helps to set the boundaries and scope of your project and provide motivation.
Phase 2: Outcome Visioning
This is you visualise the end result, the outcome you wish to achieve. In order to plan a project you must first ascertain where you want that project to end.
Phase 3: Brainstorming
This is the phase in which you generate ideas for your project. David recommends that you put all your ideas on paper, get them out of your head so you can formulate them in some order. This will help focus on what tasks you need to do.
Phase 4: Organising
In this phase you take all of the ideas from your brainstorming session and formulate them into some form of plan. So you should hopefully have at the end a list of tasks that you will need to accomplish in order to successfully complete your project.
Phase 5: Identifying Next Actions
This is where you make a note of your first/ next physical action that needs completing before you can move on. What immediate action needs to take place so you can move the project on.
Another breakdown of these 5 phases can be found here at The Simple Dollar
I have found applying this method to my project planning extremely helpful when plotting and planning my projects.
To start with I wrote a Master Project list, this was the place I write down all of the projects that pop in my head I want to complete. This is a long-term goals list.
I then took the first project I wanted to complete and write it on a separate sheet of paper, following the Natural Planning Model. This details all the separate parts of the project that need doing for it to be complete. I also list my 'Why' and 'Outcome'.
The next thing that I do is write the first immediate action on my Next Actions list (the thing to remember with the Next Actions list is that it is essentially a To-Do Immediately list). Once I have completed the item I cross it off both lists.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I hope that it inspires you to go read the book or at least look at ways to help improve upon your organisational methods:)

Esteemed Market Guru Is One Of A Kind
"Great men, like comets, are eccentric in their courses, and formed to do extensive good by modes unintelligible to vulgar minds." - Charles Caleb Colton
Bob Farrell is the most important market guru never profiled in Wall Street Recap.
For decades, Farrell was the premier technician at the nation's largest brokerage, Merrill Lynch. Although other Merrill Lynch personnel of significance were chronicled in these parts, Farrell was not, maybe because he just seemed bigger than life. You can't telephone an icon, can you?
Four years ago, his sidekick, Richard McCabe, stepped into the chief technician's role at Merrill Lynch, freeing Farrell from the daily grind.
McCabe's stuff is interesting - Merrill Lynch issues a technical report once a week - but it wasn't Bob Farrell. Farrell was immortalized when he said, many years ago, "History repeats, but never exactly." What a perfect testament to brokerage analysis of all types. Or even life.
What resurrected Bob Farrell was CNBC, the financial-news television network. Last week, Farrell appeared on CNBC because McCabe was traveling. Suddenly, the fog lifted. Farrell has a way of explaining markets, and forecasts, that just makes things so much simpler.
Since he had appeared on CNBC, the thought occurred that maybe now was the time to introduce him to Wall Street Recap. So with little difficulty, a call was placed to his secretary.
The request was made. The call was on hold briefly. The secretary came back: You must call Richard McCabe, and she provided McCabe's number.
No, you don't understand. This isn't just about market forecasts. This is something of a biography, a brief profile of an icon for the benefit of both Wall Street Recap readers.
No luck.
Later, as I sought a way to explain that what you were about to read was what I thought Farrell might have said, elaborating on his TV comments, the phone rang.
It was Bob Farrell. My top three interviews now are Bob Farrell, Bob Farrell, Bob Farrell. Listening to him is like listening to your favorite uncle.
Farrell is 63, a 40-year veteran of Merrill Lynch. He has powerful roots: For the past 58 years, he has lived in five homes - all in a one-square-mile area near Tenafly, N.J.
It is important to differentiate between what Farrell does virtually without peer - technical analysis - and fundamental analysis. Most analysts and brokers subscribe to the fundamental view. Look at a company, its industry, profits, sales, management, the economy, competition, and forecast financial results. The technician looks at a stock's trading history, especially volume, to determine the future path.
In the 1950s, and at many moments since, technicians have been labeled voodoo artists, little more than market timers with a bad compass. Yet as time has evolved, they have gained credibility. The best analysts have blended technical analysis with the fundamental. Studies of both disciplines have shown that neither one has a corner on accuracy. Analysis, at its best, gives investors confidence and, in some cases, a profit.
Unique doesn't mean a few of something. It means one of a kind. Farrell is unique. The cornerstone of his education isn't from the technical side. It is from the fathers of fundamental analysis. Farrell received a master's degree from Columbia University, where he trained under the fundamental masters: Benjamin Graham and David Dodd. Farrell went on to become the most successful technical analyst of his generation.
"In 1984, at an all-day seminar at Columbia celebrating the 50th anniversary of the publication of `Security Analysis,' (Graham and Dodd's bible of fundamental analysis), I spoke on why Ben Graham was a closet technician," Farrell said.
Farrell was at Merrill Lynch three years when, in 1959, he agreed to become the brokerage's technical analyst. He claims he did it because nobody else wanted to do it and because he thought it would separate him from the huge pack espousing fundamentals. Most likely, he was the best qualified.
Farrell knew technicians were not respected. So in the 1960s, he couched his technical comments in fundamentalists' clothing. He found ways of saying things that appealed to fundamental followers but were based in technical foundations.
Before long, a handful of market technicians began meeting. The tongue-in-cheek name they adopted was the Tip & Clip Club, reflecting those who simply wanted to hype a stock they were eager to move. When the Market Technicians Association was launched in 1970, Farrell was the first president.
Not because Farrell was the best, the remarkable self-effacing man persists, but because he was with the influential brokerage house. Of course, Institutional Investor, a trade publication, named Farrell the top technician so often - 16 times - they might as well name the trophy after him.
This stuff is so interesting we ought to just forget about the forecast, but the forecast pays the bills. So what does Merrill Lynch's senior investment adviser (a title he crafted after turning over his daily duties to McCabe) believe?
"We're very late in a secular bull market," Farrell said. "There's a speculative peak that precedes the quality peak."
The speculative peak, when investors were eager to buy almost any new issue or humdrum stock, came in May. Using the 1961, 1968 and 1983 market tops as examples, Farrell said the quality peak, when the Dow Jones industrial average makes that final high, should land in the November-January time frame. If the 1929 and 1946 tops are indicators, the quality peak could stretch to 10 months from the May top, or around next March.
After the May peak, conservatism moved in. Professionals shunned smaller stocks because the market became less liquid.
"I think we're way overdo for a corrective process," Farrell said. As a result, the payback will be more severe. Farrell said he expects a sharp drop to start the downturn. Because so many investors enrolled in the "buy-and-hold" school of investing, he expects rally attempts. When a significant rally falls short, investors will become disillusioned. Gradual attrition will ensue. If the sharp reversal in 1987 was like a guillotine, in this one the investor will be sandpapered to death, Farrell said.
Farrell said the theory that investors will hang in, no matter what, brought to mind a quote he recently saw: "Never have people been so well informed and little tested."
The potential is scary, Farrell said. But he remains occupied four days a week - he takes Fridays off - fashioning an analysis of market sectors that will do well in a downturn and lead the market higher after the fall.
Farrell conceded he's not always right.
"It's one of the more excruciating times in life, when you have to eat crow," Farrell said. "Generally, I don't stay on the wrong side too long, just because I can't stand it."
That isn't often - and we're not making this stuff up.
Stocks and bonds
The Dow Jones industrial average of 30 blue-chip stocks last week rose 49.94 points to 5,888.46.
The Murphey Favre Northwest 50 of 50 stocks weighted by their regional economic impact gained 39.28 points to 3,492.47.
The U.S. Treasury's 30-year benchmark bond fell $11.25 per $1,000 of face value to close at $963.75. That was priced to yield 7.04 percent, said Cynthia Wells, Seattle-Northwest Securities vice president.
The big news is Tuesday's meeting of the Federal Reserve. Will the independent governor of the nation's interest rates raise rates? A leak surfaced that eight of 12 Fed governors supported a boost in rates.
Worries over the Federal Reserve meeting clipped $10 per $1,000 of face value off municipal bonds, reported Judith Cochrane, Seafirst Bank vice president.
On a kinder note, order-taking begins tomorrow for the state's annual sale of zero-coupon bonds designed, but not limited, to paying college expenses.

Well, we did it, we finally got a start on the approved Osprey Trail. The full background would bore you but suffice it to say we needed to get our proposed span across the seasonal drainage ditch by 1 July to meet a WA Dept. of Fish /Wildlife requirement. On Thursday 6/9 a dedicated crew hauled in the necessary tools (@ ¼ mile through uncleared brush) to cut up a 2 foot diameter fallen hemlock and install a split 10 foot section of it at the optimum crossing site. This was not the usual 2-hour Fun Day Trails effort, it turned out to be 4 ½ hours but the end result is a very solid and wide crossing. We will return to develop the rest of the new Osprey trail when we complete the new DNR connections.
Give these guys a "Thanks" when you see them around town: Denny Clawson-Schuch, John Fillers, Doug Huber, Jack Riggen.
Let's keep improving our trails,
Larry Scott

Memorial Church Re-Opens With Fanfare
By JORDAN E. VIRTUE, CRIMSON STAFF WRITER
Harvard's Memorial Church held a festive reception for around 90 students Friday night to celebrate the re-opening of the Church after months of renovations.
In a ceremony punctuated by musical performances and speeches, invited students attended the ribbon cutting and a formal dinner in the new "student oasis," the 2,500 square foot centerpiece of the revamped basement. The downstairs area also contains two newly designed conference rooms and a kitchen for student use. Click here to read more: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/2/13/memorial-church-reopens/

With clients in all 50 states, HLB is the largest law practice in the country dedicated solely to the representation of health care providers and suppliers. Since forming in 1987, the firm regularly represents hospitals and hospital systems; physician organizations; long-term care facilities; laboratories; pharmacies; home health agencies; health care trade associations; pharmaceutical and biotech organizations and various ancillary service providers. The firm currently has offices in Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
Dedicated Specialists
Each attorney in our national practice specializes in a specific aspect of health care law, such as Medicare and Medicaid payments, health care business transactions, managed care, fraud and abuse, licensing and certification, or litigation, arbitration and dispute resolution. Our Government Relations and Public Policy staff is similarly devoted to supporting the health care industry in Congress and in federal government agencies.
Our partners and senior government relations staff have decades of health care experience, which they share with other firm members. As a certified provider of continuing legal education, the firm is able to provide in-house legal training on health care issues that is not available to the general bar. Because a number of our attorneys have also been health care practitioners, administrators or government regulators, we are able to offer an added dimension of understanding to the issues our clients face.
Cost-Effective Expertise
We do not over-staff cases or train our attorneys at our clients' expense. Many of our attorneys have had years of legal experience before joining the firm. Most have trained at other national firms or have held high-level positions in government.
Our attorneys and government relations specialists also have established productive working relationships with key officials in many of the local, state and national government agencies that regulate our clients. These relationships provide us with ready access to government perspectives and often facilitate efficient and timely resolution of problems, whether in the context of a licensure survey, business transaction, litigation, or pending legislation.
Industry Leaders
Our attorneys and government relations specialists rigorously monitor legislative and regulatory initiatives and judicial developments for their potential effects on the health care industry. As a result, we have established many landmark legal precedents, and have influenced the outcome of or successfully challenged many significant legislative and regulatory initiatives to the benefit of our clients.
The firm has served as counsel for many of the leading health care trade associations, including the California Hospital Association, the California Association of Health Facilities, the American Healthcare Association, the Federation of American Hospitals, the Hawaii Hospital Association, the Colorado Hospital Association, the National Association of Psychiatric Treatment Centers for Children, the California Clinical Laboratory Association, and many others.
In addition, our professionals are often called upon to author and edit books and articles in their fields of expertise.
Our attorneys have also led such prestigious organizations as the Fraud and Abuse Section of the American Bar Association and the California Society for Healthcare Attorneys.

Ride2amillion is a 10-day event cycling over 1,500km from Malin Head to Mizen Head in Ireland - the most south-westerly point to the most northerly point. The plan is to depart on July 30th and arrive on August 8th.
The event is the craziest 5FTF challenge to date. The route follows the rugged and famous coast of the Wild Atlantic Way - touching the counties of Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Fermanagh and Donegal. It's certainly not the direct route!
The cycle is in aid of 5 For The Fight, a crowdfunding campaign for cancer research. The mission of 5 For The Fight is to put more researchers into the field in order to make strides and eradicate cancer. Over the past 4 years, 5 For The Fight has raised over €950K and hired 3 cancer researchers. Our goal is to raise an additional €50,000 which brings us to €1 million raised hence the name Ride 2 a Million!
Achieving this goal will allow us to set up 2 brand new research positions for 3 years. Our partners Breakthrough Cancer Research have been devastated by COVID losing the majority of their fundraising, this event means more now than ever before. Your support will go a long way.

The thing about compact cameras is that they don't attract attention. I'm hanging out in the club at Oracle Arena before the Warriors game with the Fujifilm X-20 taking pictures and enjoying the atmosphere. For this shot, I used the Pro Focus setting in the Adv mode to create the soft background. We once needed DSLRs to create this effect.

- Assess circumstances surrounding the injury: time of injury, mechanism of burn, whether the burn occurred in a closed space, the possibility of inhalation of noxious chemicals, and any related trauma.
- Monitor vital signs frequently; monitor respiratory status closely; and evaluate apical, carotid, and femoral pulses particularly in areas of circumferential burn injury to an extremity.
- Check peripheral pulses on burned extremities hourly; use Doppler as needed.
- Monitor fluid intake (IV fluids) and output (urinary catheter) and measure hourly. Note amount of urine obtained when catheter is inserted (indicates pre-burn renal function and fluid status).
- Assess body temperature, body weight, history of pre-burn weight, allergies, tetanus immunization, past medical surgical problems, current illnesses, and use of medications.
- Arrange for patients with facial burns to be assessed for corneal injury.
- Continue to assess the extent of the burn; assess depth of wound, and identify areas of full and partial thickness injury.
- Assess neurologic status: consciousness, psychological status, pain and anxiety levels, and behavior.
- Provide humidified oxygen, and monitor arterial blood gases (ABGs), pulse oximetry, and carboxyhemoglobin levels.
- Assess breath sounds and respiratory rate, rhythm, depth, and symmetry; monitor for hypoxia.
- Observe for signs of inhalation injury: blistering of lips or buccal mucosa; singed nostrils; burns of face, neck, or chest; increasing hoarseness; or soot in sputum or respiratory secretions.
- Report labored respirations, decreased depth of respirations, or signs of hypoxia to physician immediately; prepare to assist with intubation and escharotomies.
- Monitor mechanically ventilated patient closely.
- Institute aggressive pulmonary care measures: turning, coughing, deep breathing, periodic forceful inspiration using spirometry, and tracheal suctioning.
- Maintain proper positioning to promote removal of secretions and patent airway and to promote optimal chest expansion; use artificial airway as needed.
- Monitor vital signs and urinary output (hourly), central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary artery pressure, and cardiac output.
- Note and report signs of hypovolemia or fluid overload.
- Maintain IV lines and regular fluids at appropriate rates, as prescribed. Document intake, output, and daily weight.
- Elevate the head of bed and burned extremities.
- Monitor serum electrolyte levels (eg, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, bicarbonate); recognize developing electrolyte imbalances.
- Notify physician immediately of decreased urine output; blood pressure; central venous, pulmonary artery, or pulmonary artery wedge pressures; or increased pulse rate.
- Provide pain relief, and give antianxiety medications if patient remains highly anxious and agitated after psychological interventions.
- Administer IV opioid analgesics as prescribed, and assess response to medication; observe for respiratory depression in patient who is not mechanically ventilated.
- Provide emotional support, reassurance, and simple explanations about procedures.
- Assess patient and family understanding of burn injury, coping strategies, family dynamics, and anxiety levels. Provide individualized responses to support patient and family coping; explain all procedures in clear, simple terms.

Reckless Driver Flees After Crashing Car Into Gas Station
Casselberry police have arrested the driver of a car who lost control and crashed into a gas station, starting a potentially deadly fire. They report that the accident occurred around 2 a.m. one recent morning at a Circle K gas station as the driver was speeding down State Road 436 and attempted to make a turn at Howell Branch Road. Police report that the driver lost control of his car while making the turn and crashed into the gas station. Officers say that the quick actions of the gas station attendant prevented a much larger fire, as he assessed the situation and hit the station's emergency gas shutoff valve.
Police report that the driver attempted to flee from the scene on foot but was quickly apprehended. They have not yet released the name of the man, the make and model of vehicle he was driving at the time of the accident or the charges the man will face in connection with the incident. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident.
This driver's negligence and the accident he caused bring up an important point. When we think of injuries, we usually think of the physical injuries that people suffer when reckless drivers lose control of their vehicles and cause accidents. While no one suffered any physical injuries in this accident, the owner of the gas station certainly suffered financial injuries that affected his or her facility and ability to conduct business until the damage is corrected. With the assistance of an experienced Orlando personal injury lawyer, the owner could seek damages against the driver and his or her insurance company for damage to the property, loss of income, the costs of repair and other damages.
If you have suffered property damage due to the negligence of others and have questions about your rights and legal options, there is no substitute for experience, and James O. Cunningham is one of the most experienced Orlando personal injury attorneys in the area. He has a proven record of success helping clients since 1977 and has a sterling reputation for professionalism and getting results for clients. If you would like to schedule a free consultation to discuss your situation, call him today at 877-FL-INJURY (877-354-6587).
James O. Cunningham
Since 1977, personal injury lawyer James Cunningham has provided effective legal advocacy to people who are injured through the negligent actions of another person or entity throughout the Central Florida area. He fights to obtain recoveries for his clients' physical and emotional pain and suffering and pursues his clients' personal injury cases with a commitment to excellence and impeccable preparation.

Last December my family and I moved from England back to my wife's native Spain. My wife and I had work from home jobs and with our daughter growing up fast we felt if we didn't give it a go now we would never do it. Now she will have the benefit of growing up in two distinct cultures.
My work was my own internet consultancy doing web development, design and marketing, though since I've moved here, my passion for language and culture has been re-ignited – hence this blog – and I am doing increasing amounts of writing about it and plan to redevelop my Cross-Cultural Communication course ideas I had 15 years ago.
I have also started to use an incredibly useful online business builder called Site Build It! which forces you to be more focussed than a blog and has incredible search engine tools and advice to help make your site attractive to the search engines as well as (more importantly) visitors. I'll write more about that in a future article when I've made more progress with the niche site I am building using SBI! Incidentally they also have a great affiliate programme too, which can pay for the (amazing value) cost of the system with a couple of referrals. They are doing a 'Summer Sandals' special at the moment until June 21, making it even better value to get started. I genuinely recommend it not least because it requires no technical skill at all and so is great for work from home novices with limited IT knowledge.
I have worked from home lot in the last few years, especially since I made the very hard decision to almost completely outsource my technical team to deal with the downturn, remain competitive and develop my product ideas at lower cost.
Back in England I had a house with a garden to enjoy when taking breaks – or just to glance out of the window while working. Here we live in an apartment in town directly below my in-laws. This, as you can imagine, has it's advantages and disadvantages, but not so many of the latter as you might think. I could live anywhere, and apart from a few gripes about the fondness the Spaniards have for using their car horns (day or night) to declare right of way, and other city 'features', I am enjoying the convenience. Same goes for having the in-laws upstairs, especially since they are retired and have spent many years without their granddaughter.
As for the actual work routine, I am not naturally the most disciplined person but have this week come across Steve Pavlina whose website has a huge range of tips and techniques to help become more motivated and self-disciplined and so generate results. I have started implementing these and already finding a difference – not least just deciding to change and acting on it is motivating! And I have already today done one of those unpleasant tasks I had put off for weeks. Incidentally I found Steve through the SBI! forums – he uses it too, and is very successful by all accounts, so don't just take my word for it!
From a cultural perspective, working from home here is still a fairly new concept and one which even the family struggles with, assuming we are always available! But escaping from the constant rain of England and living more for the moment (and not spending half our time in the car and the other stuck indoors!) is certainly validating our decision. Especially now we have our car back (see my post on Spanish bureaucracy) and can take relieve from the summer heat by driving to a neighbouring village where the local pools are much quieter than here in town.
Another advantage of the flexible work from home lifestyle…

Up for sale is a very heavy hand blown crystal art glass vase, approximately 4 ½" tall X 4 ¼" wide X 2 ¾" thick, with a puckered rim. There is an exquisite detailed engraving of the Prague Castle plus matching pinwheels on either side of the engraving. Under these engravings is the Czech word "PRAHA" or Prague. The overall design is reminiscent of the Strombergshyttan art vases by GUNNAR NYLUND who designed most of the Strombergshyttan collections from 1952-1975. There is an engraved signature under the right pinwheel which is similar to the signature seen on similar Strombergshyttan vases found on the Internet.
It is in excellent condition with a delicate aquamarine shading, or hue, to the crystal. (Please note that the photos don't do this vase justice!)

Improving risk-assessment processes and enlarging internal audit's focus to encompass broader organizational risks that have business relevance are top priorities of chief audit executives, but a large majority think that to do that, their internal-audit functions need upgrading.
In a July Ernst & Young survey of 695 global chief audit executives, 80% said their internal-audit functions related to risk management have room for improvement, and 70% believe those improvements should be undertaken within the next 24 months.
"The survey points out clearly that the governance structure and risk management of a company drives long-term performance," Brian Schwartz, Ernst & Young Americas internal-audit leader, says. "And the internal-audit function itself is a critical part of the risk-management framework."
Still, it could be a more vital piece of the framework. While internal-audit's job is not to manage risk but to help an organization understand risk and to examine risk-management processes, internal audit does need to work more closely with risk management, for example.
"We're encouraging the auditing function to get together with risk management and share resources, because coordination is critical. They need to address risks holistically," says Schwartz.
Internal-audit's function differs from company to company, however. "Sometimes the audit function actually audits the enterprise risk management (ERM) process and sometimes audit is a catalyst to get the ERM framework going in a company," Schwartz says.
Regardless, internal-audit teams are now regularly focusing on a broader set of risks, the survey found. Strategic and operational risks are competing for center stage with more traditional areas such as internal controls and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, Schwartz says.
The chief audit executives surveyed said their teams now play a more prominent role in strategic organizational initiatives such as:
• Major capital projects (49%),
• IT systems implementations (42%),
• Mergers and acquisitions (37%), and
• Material contracts (32%).
It's no surprise that audit chiefs believe they need to add competencies to their team beyond traditional technical skills to tackle their broader role. Fifty-four percent of the audit chiefs surveyed, for example, said they have a plan to increase the business or industry acumen of their staff.
As stakeholders inside companies seek more cross-functional coordination on risk, internal audit also has to improve its communications to executive management and other departments. The E&Y survey found that 46% of respondents perform only annual updates or no updates at all to their risk-related audit plans. That can leave a company unprepared for events that arise throughout the year, like new product launches or retirements, new market entry, and litigation.
While audit plans used to be "set in stone," the trend now is to take periodic "fresh looks" at them, says Schwartz. "Risk profiles change as companies make acquisitions or move into emerging markets," he points out.

Intrepid Travel, Arnhem Land, Northern Territory © James Fisher, Tourism Australia
Immersive journeys
Take an unforgettable journey and gain a better understanding of Aboriginal spirituality at the same time with an extended immersive journey.
New South Wales
Ngaran Ngaran Culture Awareness – Yuin Retreat
See some of the prettiest coastal scenery of New South Wales while gaining an insight into traditional culture, on a two-night Aboriginal experience with Ngaran Ngaran Culture Awareness. The two-day, two-night Yuin Retreat invites guests to come, walk and listen to a sacred Dreaming of Djirringanj country, heartland of the Yuin people. Experience ceremony and Dreaming stories that have been passed down to connect to Country with tour highlights including a traditional smoking ceremony, sunrise beach ceremony and traditional reflections yarning circle. Enjoy resort-style accommodation and Aboriginal cuisine, including local seafood with a range of native spices. This tour is based in Narooma and the neighbouring village of Tilba – about four-and-a-half hours' drive south of Sydney. Transfers are available from Moruya, Sydney and Canberra airports.
Northern Territory
Lirrwi Tourism
People often speak of undiscovered parts of the world. But Arnhem Land, a vast region in the north-west of the Northern Territory, is the real thing: 97,000 square kilometres (37,450 square miles) of barely touched wilderness, equal parts beautiful, daunting and mysterious. The Yolŋu people have been Custodians of this land for millennia and, on a tour with Lirrwi Tourism, visitors are immersed in an authentic encounter with this ancient culture. Single and multi-day tours explore aspects of Yolŋu life, from song and dance to art and the yidaki (didgeridoo) – all against the backdrop of the wondrous parallel world that is East Arnhem Land. Here, the calendar is divided into six seasons, and Songlines – or Dreaming tracks – run through the landscape.
Western Australia
Kingfisher Tours
No-one knows Western Australia's ruggedly beautiful Kimberley region quite like its Traditional Custodians. Kingfisher Tours primarily uses local Aboriginal guides to lead its single and multi-day explorations of this extraordinary wilderness area in the state's north-west. This allows you to gain a deeper understanding of its key places, from the World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park with its beehive-shaped Bungle Bungle Range, to the jaw-dropping four-tiered Punamii-Uunpuu (Mitchell Falls), and the lonely islands scattered along the wild Kalumburu Coast. Tours depart from Broome or Kununurra and most begin with a scenic flight over the spectacular Kimberley landscape, followed by a traditional Welcome to Country ceremony. The greeting sets the tone for meaningful hikes to rock art, 4WD adventures to a remote Aboriginal community, and forging unforgettable connections around the campfire. These all-inclusive, small group experiences run from April/May to September.

Canadian businessman Albert Chretien was wearily slogging through 8-foot-deep snow in a thick forest near the Nevada-Idaho border in March 2011 when he collapsed and died of apparent exhaustion and hypothermia.
Hunters found Chretien's body Saturday less than seven miles from where his wife, Rita, waited in their disabled van, and six miles from the safety of Mountain City, Nev., said
Sheriff's Detective Jim Carpenter.
He had climbed a grueling 2,400 vertical feet in his cross-country trek before he died, Carpenter said Monday.
The Penticton, B.C., couple's ordeal
about 100 miles north of Elko in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. They were last seen earlier that day stopping for gas in Baker City.
Solving the mystery of where Albert Chretien wandered "is good for everybody, especially the family," Carpenter said.
Rita Chretien survived almost seven weeks in the van, subsisting on a small amount of trail mix, hard candy, melted snow and water from a nearby creek. She told an Idaho church congregation last month that she had pulled on fresh socks and wrapped herself in a blanket and was preparing to die on May 6 when she heard the sound of ATV engines.
Antler hunters Troy Sill, his daughter, Whitnie Sill-Herman, and her husband, Chad Herman, all of Elko, rode up to her van and asked if she was all right.
"No, I'm not," she said.
The area, at an elevation of 5,700 feet and 20 miles east of Nevada 225, was described last year by a local outfitter as one of the most remote and inaccessible places in the lower 48 states, a region seldom traveled until late June each summer. Underscoring the remoteness, Sill and the Hermans had to leave Rita Chretien and drive their ATVs nine miles to find cellular service to call for an air-ambulance.
Albert Chretien's body was discovered on the slopes of Merritt Mountain at about 8,100 feet in elevation by elk hunters Rodney Thompson and Jay Doke, both of Elko. Deputies accompanied the two men to the site Sunday and searched for evidence before collecting and transporting the remains to an Elko funeral home. The men were elk hunting on Monday and not available for comment.
Albert Chretien had been trying to shave a few miles off a road trip to a Las Vegas trade show when he turned off Idaho 51 at Grasmere, Idaho, and followed his new GPS unit onto a primitive and little-used Forest Service road. Rita Chretien, then 56, was asleep beside him.
They were 28 miles from Grasmere when their two-wheel-drive Chevrolet Astro lost traction and skidded off the slippery road into a gully. Three days later, with the weather worsening, Albert Chretien left the van and set off on foot to find help, carrying a blanket, water, trail mix and the GPS.
His body was slightly decomposed but surprisingly intact, Carpenter said. When the snow melted, his body settled among the trees and underbrush and between fallen timber on the forest floor, he said.
"It was heavily shaded, and the trees are so thick the sun doesn't get in there," Carpenter said. "Being basically covered, it preserved it very well."
Deputies identified him from items in the pockets of his clothing.
Searchers had repeatedly combed the area looking for Chretien, but the thick timber and fallen trees made the search difficult.
One lesson in the Chretiens' tragic misadventure is that motorists should always carry good maps in addition to a GPS unit when traveling across Nevada, Carpenter said.
"You can't go just by a GPS unit," he said. "They can give you bad information."
Carpenter said Chretien apparently discarded the GPS during his fatal hike because it wasn't found with his body.

WIP Jumping
So, while one WIP is resting, I move onto another. However, right now I have two others. I have two sets of characters, in two totally different settings, clamoring for my attention like two jealous children with a parent. When I pause in one, to think about which direction I want the story to take (I don't outline), the other child (set of characters) steps into the temporary vacant spot as if to say "my turn now". So, I let the first one stew in the back of my mind while I play with the second story. I know the best thing would be to permanently put one away until the other is complete. But that would be like locking one beloved child in a room so you can lavish attention on the other. It seems so unfair.
I am sure by now I am also driving my critique partners crazy. I am about to post chapters from my second story when they have been critiquing the first. Thank goodness they are an understanding group. Though I believe a former critique partner did mention ADD and my name in the same sentence. I am sure I don't know what they mean - lol.
Has this ever happened to you, or is it happening now? Do you have two or more sets of characters insisting you pay attention to them and ignore the others? Do you work on only one story and ignore the second?

Amy!!! I am the same way. At one time I had three wips going. Sheesh! What's up with that? In a way, I'm glad to jump back and forth because when I come back to the story, it's fresh again and I get new ideas.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, yes! At one point I've had three stories all trying to get my attention at the same time. And, of course, I wanted to oblige. So I worked on them all. Three stories that I got to about 100 pages each. Ugh. Then I had to make the decision to finish what I started so now I'm more disciplined and I make myself work on something until it's done--unless I know it's not going to work. But when I get new ideas, I'll still write them down and think on them enough that I know they'll be able to be developed later.ReplyDelete
There's no way I could do that! The older I get, the shorter my attention span. I envy those people that can read more than one book at a time!ReplyDelete
I'm a little OCD, so it's very hard for me to focus on more than one story at a time. Starting something before I've finished something else drives me a little insane. LOL! I do find that I have to put projects on hold often, though, to work on edits, etc... for my publisher. That's even rough for me to do. I have a story that I was almost done with in January, but I had to put it on hold and haven't been able to go back to it yet! ARGH! Sometimes I think I would probably be a lot more productive if I COULD multitask my manuscripts...maybe I'll try it someday :)ReplyDelete
I don't write but I read that way and do projects that way - - - but I have read that we really are more productive if we focus on just one thing until the end...........don't know if I could do that. I might get bored.ReplyDelete
Wow, I think that's good to be able to do that! I get confused with one or two articles, blog, and everyday life. :0 I have notes everywhere. My husband is afraid to throw anything away, just in case!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the follow! :) I have only had one novel at a time, but lots and lots of picture books all clamoring for my attention. :)ReplyDelete
I'm always telling the voices (future characters) to wait their turn and they try really hard to intrude on the current story.ReplyDelete
About once a week I spend an afternoon on them, researching, adding links to their folder but I dont write a word of their story. I do write down plot ideas/situations but you have to focus on one project at a time or nothing gets finished. :o)
I agree. Sometimes it is good to take a break so the story is fresh again.
I wish I could discipline myself to stay with one story and ignore the others.
Besides working on two separate WIPs, I think I am reading four different books. I pick up which one I am in the mood for.
I probably need a little more OCD and less ADD. I would probably get a lot more done.
I know I would get bored. I have been that way my entire life when working on any one thing.
I never said I don't get confused - LOL.
Lots and Lots of picture books can be just as demanding as two novels. So many stories, so little time.
I agree about the focusing and I am working on it. I have so many folders started with info I wonder if I will ever get all of the stories written.
LOL Amy!ReplyDelete
I've done it in the past, but now with fresh work. I'd just write a new wip while editing an old.
This is so funny! I hope you have fun with those bossy characters. :-)
I can't do that but I know writers who do. They'll write two manuscripts at a time, going back and forth. I guess whatever works for you, you go with. Creativity is a crazy thing and we have to follow our instincts. Like you, though, I definitely do better at revising if I go away from something and come back to it.ReplyDelete
This is happening to me now. I'm glad I have two ideas going, but it is hard for me to keep them seperate. I've made little progress on either one, so I have decided to put one to the side. Now I just need to decide which one.ReplyDelete
It used to until my current project started demanding all the attention. It's so spoiled. :D You sound like a awesome multi-tasker!ReplyDelete
I do--my current manuscript and one I want to add a few more words too. So not sure which way to go, but trying to be patient.ReplyDelete
I tried that once and eventually, the other story took over so much that I abandoned the other one until later!ReplyDelete
Yes! That's me. I almost cannot do it. My mind, my life, is my protagonist. I swear sometimes I even have their dreams. But I find when I stop by an old book, I make changes, and they stink. They are totally out of sync, you know?ReplyDelete
PS Great blog. Coming back soon!!
interesting post. I think everyone works differently. I love to have several things going at the same time, my hubby can only focus on one at a time. On vacation, I found myself writing children's poetry when those thoughts came. You can't always control your creativity and put it in little boxes to wait but grab it when it comes...ReplyDelete
Well, the characters that aren't bossy are collecting dust somewhere on the hard drive - lol.
It is crazy to go back and forth between the two, but it is the only way I know. I wish I could just stay with one and work straight through it.
So far, I have been able to keep the two separate. I hope I don't forget which one I am working when typing because the first is 1803 England and the other is 1794 Paris - big difference - lol.
B.J. - I am not sure I am that great at multi-tasking, but I try. My characters force me into this - LOL.
Terri - I gave up on patience and just go to the one screaming the loudest.
Melissa - working on ignoring the first one at the moment. It wasn't being cooperative so I have given it a time out. We shall see how long it lasts.
JD, thanks for stopping by. Whenever I force myself to write something in a story not yelling for attention it usually stinks so I try not to put me or my characters through it if I have something else I can be working on.
Lin, you are so right. You cannot control creativity.
It souonds like a crazy but good problem, having too many writing projects! Have fun. :O)ReplyDelete
