Firm Debt Structure and Firm Size: A Micro Approach
AbstractMicro industrial firm panel data on short-term and long-term borrowing (term debt structure) for annual and quarterly time periods over the years 1995-2008 are used to test an insulation hypothesis and a related volatility hypothesis. The former test uses a regression model relating the ratio of accounts payable in trade to long-term debt to firm size and other variables. The focus is on a micro perspective of the firm's response to the FED's monetary policy. If differs from an earlier macro perspective that focused on the existence of bank lending channels. The latter hypothesis uses the panel heteroscedastic variances recovered from the first testing procedure to test for a quadratic-form risk function (either U-shaped or inverted U-shaped) using sigma squared and the coefficient of variation as risk indexes and firm size as a determinant. The findings suggest that there is some evidence that firms do insulate themselves from the effects of monetary policy and that retained earnings have a significant role in the insulation effect. The evidence also suggests that the risk index, the variances, is related to firm size by a U-shaped quadratic function. As firm size increases, not only does the term-structure ratio fall, but the volatility falls and at a falling rate of change, approaching zero for a sufficiently large firm.

Review by Edward Carmien
Hoyle Board Games (HBG) is a fantastic collection of 14 board
games. Battling Ships, Mancala, Reversi, Backgammon, Chess, Line
'em Up, Dominoes, Snakes and Ladders, Checkers, Placer Racer,
Pachisi, Yacht, Chinese Checkers, and Zen Bones make up the roster
of games. If you see some games you think you've heard of before,
you probably have: "Battling Ships" is of course "Battleship,"
Pachisi is you know what, Snakes and Ladders is Chutes and Ladders,
Yacht should have a Zee on the end, and so on.
It may seem that HBG is taking the cheesy, rip-off route by
giving these lookalike games soundalike names. Luckily, the excellent
manual includes a droll, but also very learned, history of each
game. In each soundalike case, there existed a game before American
game companies got a hold of it, according to the manual. The
manual, in fact, could quite possibly be the best thing about
this software package.
Opening the game reveals a sumptuous box: as with much software,
the game is overpackaged. It's too bad that software companies
are forced to fight for shelf space using ammunition culled from
the world's forests. Firing up the program reveals a RAM-hungry
little beast replete with animated, talking opponents and a very
slick game menu that gives you a quick peek at each game as you
slide the mouse around.
Most of the games are quite entertaining. Some are duds for
adults; I didn't have a chance to expose the game to any kids
kids, though. Battling Ships moves a little slowly, even with
animations turned off, but it is worth a game or two even for
jaded old gamers...if only for the nostalgia value. I can see
this game being a big hit for face to face play with a live person
(though playing with a physical game would be much more convenient
unless we're talking about a wired, multi-CPU household). Mancala
is a good interpretation of the "out of Africa" game.
Reversi and Backgammon provide good challenges to experienced
players, though. Chess does not however, being much better
suited for casual players. Line 'em up ("Connect Four")
proved to be much more aggravating than I thought it would--the
computer is really good at seeing slant solutions.
The dominos game includes several variations, but is limited
to sixes, which was a mild disappointment. Snakes and Ladders
looks like it might be fun for kids, as does Placer Racer, a
kind of "Tetris With Guns" game (and the only game
in this collection which reflexes count). Pachisi and Yacht are
exactly like their more familiar counterparts, though I found
the Parchisi game hard to control with the mouse, and Yacht moves
slowly, as you spend a lot of time watching the dice cup move
and the dice fall. Chinese Checkers is a delight; I'm sure many
people have seen the game, but few have ever owned the game and
had five other people around to play it. Zen Bones is a variation
on Mah Johng, including multiple setup configurations and tiles
that animate when matches are made. Checkers joins Pachisi with
some annoying mouse-control problems--getting those checkers
to drop on the square requires exact placement. None of the caveats
I've mentioned so far are truly serious, however; they are merely
minor blemishes on an excellent suite of games.
Though the game is a memory hog, it ran without complaint,
except when I asked it to "fill screen," when it quietly
aborted neatly to the finder, causing no other problems that
I noticed.
The animated characters are clever and well-done, and their
antics are completely under the player's control. There is background
music if you like that sort of thing, and the game includes two
animated background environments: a cabin and a spaceship, "in"
which you can play HBG.
Hoyle's Board Games is well worth the money, as it gives you
access to hundreds of dollars of board games. Of course, playing
face-to-face with a crowd at one computer can be awkward and
tiring, so it came as a great relief to see that the game includes
an internet play option, as advertised on the box.
But wait. Does it? Since the game is on a hybrid CD, the box
mentions PC-only internet play. There's even an internet "globe"
on the main menu screen. Unfortunately, the Mac version is not
included in this fun (though it is easy to imagine it was meant
to be, but perhaps didn't make the ship date). Internet play
for the PC version is through www.won.net, and from what I was
able to see of the on-line game-playing process, I'm almost happier
that the Mac version is incompatible. You have to wade through
(using a browser) various Java permissions, including scary permissions
that allow Javascript to modify files and start applications
on your computer.
In theory, there is an insert that comes with the game to
let you know that the Mac version is not internet-capable. No
such insert shipped with my copy of the game, so if you run out
and pick up HBG for your Mac, keep that in mind. Then again,
such omissions are not unheard of--if you open enough copies
of enough games, you'll find boxes without CD's enclosed, or
manuals, and so on. Even so, it's a pity Sierra didn't take greater
pains to notify buyers the Mac version does not include internet
play--if you pick up the box, the words "Free Internet Play"
are sure to catch your eye. This is a major disappointment, and
I hope Sierra will take action to either make the game internet
capable or make it clear on the box exterior that the Mac version
is not internet capable.
Speaking of disappointment, discovering that the game was
not internet-capable was the only major flaw I discovered while
using this software. The manual, with history, strategy tips,
and clear instructions for each game (I learned more than one
new thing about various games just by reading the manual--and
I'm a game maven!) is outstanding. I wish more game companies
took the time and effort to produce such stellar documentation.
The games are fun, and players can set a wide variety of options,
allowing for different challenges playing the same game.
An internet-capable version of this game would earn a 4.5
from this reviewer. Too bad I have to downgrade it to 3.5, pending
a patch or upgrade that fixes that problem.

The jury's still out on whether or not the latest exercise trend toward minimalist workouts -- shorter, more strenuous ones over gruelingly long, kinda moderate ones -- is really as beneficial as some fitness experts are saying. However, I'm trying it out anyway because, well, because I'm willing to try anything to make exercise work in my life.
I HATE EXERCISE. HATE, LOATHE, DETEST, and ABHOR it. I've tried many different workout plans to get into a sustainable fitness routine, from joining the gym to jogging daily around my neighborhood, but nothing sticks. That said, I'm also a busy, working mom who NEVER finds time to work out -- or, if I'm really honest, finds the gumption to prioritize regular exercise. Sound familiar?
That's why the recent Scientific 7-Minute Workout piqued my interest. I mean, I always have seven minutes! So I've been doing this workout five days a week for a month. Five days a week! For a month! Here's how it's going ...
I'm not interested in losing a bunch of weight but more toning some problem areas and maintaining my current weight as I move from age 40 to (gulp!) age 50 and beyond. Of course, a nice five pounds off my frame would surely be welcome, but if my body can stay where it's at right now (for all eternity haha), then I'll be pretty happy (while wearing clothes).
And well, it's a good thing weight loss isn't my goal because after one full month of regular exercise, I haven't lost a single pound. But DON'T STOP READING YET -- I have gained several things that I feel are more important to me right now.
Here's what I've gotten out of these shorty but daily seven-minute workouts:
Who knows if this seven-minute turned 11-minute thing will stick forever. I'm under no illusions that I'll be doing it forever. But it feels good right now and in a way that's also really manageable and positive, something I never ever have said about a workout plan before. And for me, this is a wonderful first step toward changing what's in my head about exercise first. That's HUGE, so I'm going to enjoy it and hope the progression continues!
Do you do a minimalist workout? If not, would you try it or do you think they're bogus?

Need Dating Advice? Ask Your Abuelita
Couple embracing (© Quavondo/Getty Images)
"La suerte de las feas las lindas la desean," I hear my mom's voice echo in the back of my mind.
Naturally she thinks I'm beautiful, I'm her daughter. And while I'm a hopeless romantic and would love to believe that luck is the determining factor when it comes to successful dating, the reality is that it's all about how we play the game.
While mom's words on luck may be a little off, they are meant to offer comforting reassurance in between dating mishaps - which happen more often than I'd care to admit. The good news, as I have discovered is that I'm not alone.
I continue to meet many talented, beautiful, and caring women who are experiencing similar frustrations. In sharing our stories, I've noted patterns in our "modern day" behaviors that leave us broken hearted including our impulsiveness to want immediate results.
Obviously something isn't working. Maybe it's time to go back to the basics and take a note from "mamá" and "abuelita" on the unwritten rules of the dating game.
Let him lead!
This not only holds true in dancing, but in love. Men are by nature hunters and they are excited by the chase. The old adage that "anything worth having is worth fighting for" is spot on. When you work hard towards obtaining something, you value it much more and want to take care of it. We all can relate to this, whether it's fighting for career growth or saving up to purchase a dream, so it's understandable.
Enjoy the journey and try not to be overly eager and rush the process because you have a hidden agenda. The anxiety of not knowing what will come next is an adrenaline rush for him fueling his anticipation to see you again. You can take a closer look at this rule in an excerpt of Maria Marin's new book, "Si Soy Tan Buena, Por Que Estoy Soltera."
Don't buy the cow, when the milk is free
We've all heard this before, but many of us brush this rule aside convincing ourselves that we are the exception. We tell ourselves, "I'm different than the other girls and in time he will see." News flash, as harsh as this may sound, that time may never come if you shack up too soon.
Don't just take my word, abuelitas, or mamás on this one. In his book "Think Like a Man, Act like a Lady" Steve Harvey shares that even a man who sees potential may become disinterested because it's become too easy. He recommends a 90-day rule. If he is really into you he will wait. It's a good method to weed out the unworthy. See it for your own eyes here in a very interesting interview.
Don't buy the cow, when the milk is free
No, you're not seeing double, this rule is on here twice because in our modern day society it is twofold as it also applies to cohabitation. There are mixed views on the pros and cons. I admit I think cohabitation can work, but you need to set clear expectations upfront. A great read in the New York Times by clinical psychologist, Meg Jay, takes a look at the "Cohabitation Effect."
If he's not willing to invest then it's time to say adios!
Ladies, I'm not talking money here. The biggest investment anyone can make is their time. If your only form of communication is a text, this is a red flag. Take heed. It may mean you're not the only one or that you're not a priority. Picking up the phone to talk (even a quick hello) or inviting you out regularly shows interest, because we know actions speak louder than words.
La indiferencia mata - Have other interests!
By no means am I suggesting to ignore your object of desire, but don't make him the center of your universe. Balance is key because even a good thing can get old. Many women lose themselves in the potential of a relationship and find it difficult to pick up the pieces when it doesn't work out. I've polled a few of my male friends and they shared that what attracts that great guy in the first place is your spirit of independence, confidence, and interests. So, it's okay to have other plans.
What other unwritten rules of dating have "mamá" and "abuelita" shared with you?

Topic - No carbs - advice and sympathy required
What Goes Up - on 01 Jan 2013
Bloody New Year resolutions. Mrs WGU will be eschewing rather than chewing carbs for the forseeable future, and apparently I'm joining her in this for dinner by way of support. I do pretty much all the cooking, and frustratingly I love my carbs; doesn't matter which form they take - I can quite happily sit down to a dish of pasta tossed in a little olive oil and a few choice flavourings, anything rice based, spuds are as staple as staples come...
All (okay, most) of the dishes I love to cook now have a very big hole in them and I need some ideas which will simultaneously save me a half-hour argument every evening and still hit the spot. I enjoy cooking and usually put a fair bit of time into it each evening so no worries about extravagant / laborious recipes (in fact that would be preferable). Any thoughts? Just to rub further salt into the wound I can't just make it fun by replacing carbs with more fat (I will of course, but have to be subtle about it).
Protiens - no worries, so I'm thinking things like cassoulet, stuffed aubergines with lamb mince and spices and so on, and can fry / griddle / grill up all sorts of meat and fish . The problem is more what goes with it, because frankly the thought of a week of side salads leaves me shuddering. I mean, soup without bread to go with it? Everything I've come up with so far just seems like a light supper to me (so of course step one will be carbing it up at lunchtime instead, but I still want to feel reasonably satiated at the end of my evening meal). At a push some roasted butternut squash will do for one or two, but I need more than that.
And apparently a plate of cheese is not dinner. I beg to differ, but apparently I don't make the rules anymore.
Help me UKC, you're my only hope.

The Nature and Scope of Critique on Author Salon
Author Salon writers become authors the old fashioned way. They earn it.
Author Salon is looking to discover, develop and promote high-concept fiction and nonfiction projects for agents, film producers, and acquisition editors at major publishing houses. By "high concept" we mean a story premise that sounds sufficiently unique and commercially viable, regardless of genre. In other words, a story that publishers (and their marketing department) will want to publish, and market. Please read the AUTHOR SALON PROFILE GUIDE for examples in the form of synopses and hook lines. We need to discover and communicate the hook.
If the above can be achieved, our peer-and-pro writer workshops will serve to develop, refine and monitor the process of masterful execution.
Author Salon exists for all those aspiring authors who take their work and time seriously enough to engage in an ongoing and productive evolution of their manuscripts, as well as their prose craft, regardless of whether they intend to become published by a major house or an independent press. Appropriate and honest utilization of AS critique criteria (noted below) in our writer workshops enables a writer to develop a keen editorial sense when it comes to reviewing the work of others, thus making it possible for them to edit their own work in a more productive manner. It also prepares them for the task of effectively communicating with business professionals on the site (editors and agents) regarding any matters or issues associated with the proper rendering of character, narrative, plot, story premise, and all else.
General rules, notes and criteria as follows. Please read the Author Salon STEP BY STEP GUIDE before you read this page.
- Critiques of a writer's project at Author Salon, regardless of level (IP I or Editor Suite), are based on the extensive structural and narrative matter provided in the writer's profile, and on additional writing samples as deemed necessary by writer peers or professionals at Author Salon. At Editor Suite (ES) level, critique provided on Author Connect or in a member's Critique Space officially requires critique based on the profile as well as on the first 50 pages of each writer's project, going up to 100 pages as necessary and appropriate. ES level writers are advised to base critique on the profile first and on the first 50 second.
- Author Salon editors, mods and administrators will work with writers and their manuscripts beyond the ES level to prepare them for submission to agents and publishers.
- Whenever writers at Author Salon methodically critique work written by their peers, we ask them to wear the eyeglasses of an agent or editor in this business. See it from their viewpoint, not from the viewpoint of the average workshop writer. Ask the same questions: Will I put my career on the line for that novel? For that memoir or nonfiction? ... If not, why? The right answer makes a huge difference in the way writers choose to approach the development of their own novel or nonfiction project.
- Writer peer groups are not to provide any critique for a writer's project unless and until the writer has made it clear by communication via site email and/or in the proper Author Connect forum that they are ready to receive critique. Writers are not to use outside email to work on their projects, only site email and other means of communication. Author Salon needs to have a clear record of works in progress and all critique associated with that work.
- Once a writer signals to their group they are ready to begin having their project critiqued (based on their current project and bio profile), peer group members may use the current Critique Space criteria (see categories below) as a basis for initiating preliminary critique in the topics designated for such critique in the Author Connect forums.
- As noted above, writer peers may also request additional samples of narrative including the writer's first 50 pages, or even more as necessary, up to 100 pages. For more information on acquiring critique at Author Connect, or utilizing Critique Space, please review the AS STEP BY STEP GUIDE.
- Upon satisfactory completion of preliminary critiques by writer peers and AS staff as appropriate, and upon the inclusion of project profile updates necessitated by such critique, the writer may choose to call for official rating and review in their profile Critique Space. Official category ratings, and subsequent comments in support of those ratings, may not take place in formal Critique Space (CS) in each writer's profile unless and until the writer has formally called for formal Critique Space review.
Critique Space star ratings explained as follows:
***** PERFECT. Facets of the work argue for the writer comparing favorably with the best authors who have ever lived. **** VERY GOOD AND PUBLISHABLE. Without doubt, the work presents itself as commercially publishable and agents will represent it. *** GOOD BUT NEEDS TWEAKS. The work as a whole is well done, but still needs tweaks and editing to achieve the next rank. ** AVERAGE. The work is evolving towards a state of potential publication, but still needs work in several areas. * REBOOT. The work shows promise, but more importantly, a need to address basic structural and narrative issues.
- No one is to post any review in a member's CS at any time without this official call. For more information on critique at Author Connect, please review the AS STEP BY STEP GUIDE.
- When engaged in critique at any level, peer group members must be critical, courageous and fair with their critique. The purpose is not to be laudatory or negative, but to provide depersonalized and accurate critique that will help the writer and their project evolve to a competitive state. Peer group members should also utilize and reference the AUTHOR SALON CRAFT POINTS AND EPIPHANY guide when providing critique, paying special attention to crucial areas of structural and narrative craft. Is the writer at a Level 3 for narrative? Do the scenes evolve in the proper manner? Is the first major plot point obvious? And so forth.
- Decorum must be observed at all times. Peer group members will act in good faith and writers will accept critique with style and grace. Recalcitrance and undue stubbornness will not be condoned.
- Writers with insufficiently balanced and incomplete critique in their respective Critique Space will have their petition to advance to Editor Suite (or to Marquee if already in Editor Suite) denied if critique as a whole appears too laudatory, indecisive, vague or inaccurate. It is therefore in the interest of each writer to make certain their peers maintain a high level of critique at all times.
- Denial of petition will also take place if critique has not productively led to sufficient improvement in the writer's project profile. All writers are responsible for updating their profiles (btw, save prior synopses for reference if needed). Writers have the right to form a new Peer Group for critique if they feel they need more critique to succeed. Writers also have the right to form two Peer Groups, or even more groups simultaneously, as long as at least one of the groups provides the writer with no less than a 3.75 evaluation (three four stars and one three star) when averaged over all four categories. However, excessive "peer shopping" to achieve only positive evaluations is frowned upon and will count against the writer when it comes to CSpace review by AS.
- Author Salon staff and editors reserve the right to comment, if appropriate or necessary, in the Critique Space of each writer, and will do so from time to time. Author Salon in all cases is the final authority on matters of critique and project quality. NOTE: AUTHOR SALON CAN AND WILL OVERRULE CRITIQUE THAT IS INAPPROPRIATELY POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.
- Writers must use the In Production and Editor Suite Forums at Author Salon Connect to obtain advice and to experiment with concepts, titles, and narrative before calling for Peer Group evaluations in Critique Space, and whether such evaluations be initial evaluations or subsequent.
The following are issues and points that must be raised and discussed in any Critique Space evaluation or Author Connect critique by all members of the Peer Group. If these issues and points are not included and argued effectively in the Critique Space evaluations, the evaluations will be considered invalid by Author Salon and petitions on the part of the writer to advance to a new level at Author Salon will be denied.
Note: feel free to use your personal blog or the AC forums for purposes of drafting work and presenting for peer review as needed.
Premise and Plot
- First of all, does it appear the writer has faithfully attempted to complete the profile questions, or do the responses appear incomplete or simply poor? Is the synopsis on the first page too long? What can be done to improve the profile? List everything you can think of.
- Does the premise or story concept sound high concept? Original? If so, why? Defend your conclusion. What makes it unique when compared to published novels or nonfiction in the genre? You must effectively argue this case for or against. If against, present examples why it might not be sufficiently original to capture the interest of an agent or publisher.
- Are you able to discern the primary source of dramatic tension and complication that creates the major plot line? Can you create a conflict statement such as the examples used in the AS Profile Guide from matter available in the writer's project profile? If not, why not? Is the plot line going forward vague, nonexistent? What can be done?
- Is the first major plot point that changes the course of action and begins the second act of this novel clearly defined in the project profile synopsis? Can you state it? Keep in mind that the first major plot point begins the plot line noted above, i.e., the rising action of the story as a whole.
- Insofar as you know, does the story as presented in the project profile satisfy the mandatory tropes of the genre? If so, how? Be inclusive with your response. Demonstrate knowledge of your genre and its tropes. Does the author do anything to present or frame the tropes in a unique manner? If not, can you think of any way to do this?
- Does the novel or nonfiction possess a setting and/or unique world that works to high-concept the novel, or at least make the story much more interesting and unique? If so, what features of this setting do you find unique or valuable to the story when compared to others? Do specific circumstances or characters evolve from the setting that make it valuable? If so, what or who are they?
- What novel(s) published in the last few years does this story most closely compare to? Why? This must be supportable with specifics and not general statements. Does it compare favorably? Is it sufficiently unique despite the comparison? If so, why?
- Why is this story, as presented in the project profile, one that publishers will buy? To put it more simply, why is this story one that readers will pay to read? Respond to this with clarity and detail.
Plot, Setting and Conflict Outline
Writers will reference the PSCO PDF FILE and create their PSCO according to the guide. PSCOs will be posted in Author Connect for review. Writer peers will review the PSCO in Critique Space once an official call is made. Writer peers will focus their rating and critique on the quality of the plot and plot elements (e.g., reversals and complications), on the variety and energy of the settings, and on the proper placement of three-level conflict throughout the story.
Narrative and Style
How does the story read? Each one of the following bullet points must be addressed separately in Critique Space.
- Is the prose itself completely free of errors and ambiguity? Does the writer say more with less or is she/he wordy? Are the verbs sufficiently active or too much variation of "to be"? Also, is the writer good at description? Not sure? Ask them to provide examples of description of objects, events and people.
- Is the reader oriented spatially or do characters feel disembodied? If this narrative were film, would it make sense?
- Is the narrative sufficiently engaging? If yes, what makes it engaging? If no, what should be done to make it engaging? Be specific.
- Does the narrative include, as a whole, the three levels of conflict as noted in the AS Profile Guide, i.e., internal, social, and plot related? If so, list them one at a time, and their context. If not, what should be done to include them?
- Are the scenes set properly? Do they have a defined beginning, middle and end? Do we get a clear concept of who/what/where, etc?
- Does the prose itself evidence mastery of the form given the demands of the genre? If so, how? If not, why? What can be done to improve it?
- Does the narrative present situations, issues, circumstances, characters or plots that seem too predictable or stale from overuse? Or would you term the narrative more unpredictable and original, insofar as possible given the demands of the genre? Be specific with your response and compare a defined slice of narrative from the writer's project profile (at least 300 words) with a slice of narrative taken from a comparable published work in the genre. Cut and paste, or else type this comparable narrative into the Author Connect forum. This is critical.
- If more than one point of view, does the writer juggle the multiple POVs with skill? If so, how? If not, why not? Ask for more narrative samples as necessary.
The main thing here is to focus on the manner in which the characters reveal themselves in the course of the narrative, via dialogue and action.
- Do they feel real or simply two dimensional?
- Do we observe them at their best or worst in the course of performing an action?
- Is the author using show-don't-tell techniques to portray them or simply delivering exposition?
- Do you feel any sympathy or empathy towards them?
- Is there anything unique about them or do they feel overly stereotypical?
All Else
This is a catch-all category for all other issues that can make or break. Consider carefully! Does the title sound original and does it grab you? Is the hook line adequate or sloppy? Is the conflict stated precisely or vague? Is there a defined climax? Is there a real antagonist or all in the mind? Are the comparables appropriate or no?
All these things need to be working! Consider carefully, be honest. Titles, hooks, conflict, climax, and comparables must be methodically addressed.
Critique of First 50 Pages (Editor Suite Critique Only)
We know from experience that agents and editors in the business look for highly polished and engaging narrative right from the first line, as well as cinematic scenes, sympathetic characters, and the launch of major plot tension, among other things. We need a means for making certain their expectations are met.
All of the questions, one at a time, that apply to the Character and Narrative sections above also apply to the first 50 pages submitted by each ES-level writer in the Author Connect forum. There is some overlap with a few of the questions below so take note. In addition, the following new ones also apply and must be addressed individually and in detail in the Author Connect critique forums, and later, in Critique Space on Author Salon (note: pages of narrative from each writer's project will NOT be posted in Critique Space on AS, only the critique itself).
Author Salon and staff will give special weight to the critique and quality of the first 50 pages when making a decision whether or not to advance a writer to Marquee.
- Does the first line of the first page sufficiently hook the reader? Is it a great first line? Does it make you go WOW? If not, why not? Is there a better first line deeper in the story? If so, what is it?
- Do the critical first five pages get things going quickly, begin with show-don't-tell narrative as well as a scene that depicts engaged characters? Or do they deliver too much expository narrative that slows the pace?
- Is there sufficient tension on every page? Any dramatic irony in play? Mysteries introduced? Suspense of any kind? Conflict? What keeps us from taking our eyes off the page?
- Is dialogue too quiet or riveting? Overdone or tight?
- Does the opening avoid overused openings, e.g., beginning with a dream, riding in a car or other, looking out from a cliff, waking up in the morning to alarm clock, waking up to darkness, being chased, and so forth?
- Does the FIRST MAJOR PLOT POINT take place before the first 50 pages end, i.e., the inciting incident or circumstance of major complication early in the story that begins the main external plot line which propels us through the bulk of the novel? In a screenplay, the first major plot point would begin the second act or rising action of the story.
- Are there adequate and polished examples of interior monologue, regardless of viewpoint? Is the reader able to transition into the character's mind and back out again smoothly? If yes, provide an example. If not, provide an example and discuss solutions.
- Are there polished examples of narrative description of specific objects in the first 50 pages? For example, characters and environs? Do the examples compare in mastery to good published authors in the genre? Defend your position. If this is not the case, it must be noted.
- Are there polished examples of an activity of any sort observed by a character.
e.g., watching a horse race, a parade, a group of people dancing, etc. How does the writer handle the dynamic imagery on the page? Is it mastered or does it need work?

Hear my voice, strong willed, defiant. I do not succumb to what tries to silence me for I am here and now and I shall be heard.
The rings of Saturn are the most extensive planetary ring system of any planet in the Solar System. They consist of countless small particles, ranging in size from micrometres to metres, that form clumps that in turn orbit about Saturn. The ring particles are made almost entirely of water ice, with some contamination from dust and other chemicals.
Although reflection from the rings increases Saturn's brightness, they are not visible from Earth with unaided vision. In 1610, the year after Galileo Galilei first turned a telescope to the sky, he became the very first person to observe Saturn's rings, though he could not see them well enough to discern their true nature. In 1655, Christiaan Huygens was the first person to describe them as a disk surrounding Saturn. Although many people think of Saturn's rings as being made up of a series of tiny ringlets (a concept that goes back to Laplace), true gaps are few. It is more correct to think of the rings as an annular disk with concentric local maxima and minima in density and brightness.[citation needed] On the scale of the clumps within the rings there is much empty space.
The rings have numerous gaps where particle density drops sharply: two opened by known moons embedded within them, and many others at locations of known destabilizing orbital resonances with Saturn's moons. Other gaps remain unexplained. Stabilizing resonances, on the other hand, are responsible for the longevity of several rings, such as the Titan Ringlet and the G Ring.
Well beyond the main rings is the Phoebe ring, which is tilted at an angle of 27 degrees to the other rings and, like Phoebe, orbits in retrograde fashion.
In December 2010, National Geographic suggested that the rings of Saturn could be the remains of a giant lost moon that was stripped of its icy shell before it crashed into the planet.
(Photo: The full set of main rings, imaged as Saturn eclipsed the Sun from the vantage of the Cassini spacecraft on 15 September 2006 (brightness is exaggerated). The "pale blue dot" at the 10 o'clock position, outside the main rings and just inside the G Ring, is Earth.)

MS04-038 CRITICAL Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer
Five remote code execution and three information disclosure
vulnerabilities exist in Internet Explorer.
Is it just me, or does this signal a push for a FULL code-audit on IE?
Microsoft have been plagued by the vulnerabilities discovered in their
packages (MS-RPC, LSASS) over the past 2 years, however, the vulns
discovered in IE have been pushed by the wayside without too much fuss.
It is about time Microsoft started taking note of the amount of reports
they are receiving in one of their 'flagship' products, and order a
complete, professional (did I say third-party? They already employ 30+
secure programming 'experts') audit on their most seemingly vulnerable

Obesity, chemical and biological not just consumption and lack of exercise?
Obesity is rampant in 6-month-old kids, every animal in touch with human cities including rats, zoo etc. How can a six month old be morbidly obese unless a strong endocrine disruption is occurring? Chemicals in agriculture are certainly suspect as are new viruses. But why would it be a virus unless the immune system is unbalanced?
People over ate decades ago and no one saw a 400-1000 pound person except in a circus.

Jun 4 2012: another thought, anyone ever noticed the exponential rise in obesity has co-incided with the campaign to get people to stop smoking. Smoking is an appetite suppressant, keeps people thin, give up smoking people reach for food to compensate, usually sugar as a compensation for lack of nicotine. Look around you and ask the obese people when they gave up smoking, it is quite fascinating. There is your diabetes epidemic. love the cyclic nature of it

Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band due to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo split on May 1, 1994, after completing a farewell tour. Following the breakup, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn, while the remaining members continued as Wilco.
Although Uncle Tupelo broke up before it achieved commercial success, the band is renowned for its impact on the alt...

The quilt was originally intended for raffle at this year's National. Maureen, the Executive and Board are now hopeful this unique, special piece will be sponsored back to us, and thus forever stay in our historical collection.
We want to proudly display "Throughout the Years" at every National Specialty show.
The Club's goal is to raise a minimum of $2000 between now and the end of August. This money will be used to offset the high costs of putting on our world class, indoor event in the coming years.
Unless someone prefers to make an anonymous donation, we will acknowledge your contribution in a very special way! The quilt's label, sewn on the back, will include your name (or kennel name) as one of the sponsors. Our Club will also include your name in a beautiful "thank you" ad for our 2014 National Catalog. If you can't attend the show, we will gladly mail you a hard copy of this ad as a keepsake.
"Throughout the Years"
is about paying tribute to our past and giving support to the future of our breed.
Will you please help us bring this quilt to its intended home at our show?
Any amount would be greatly appreciated.
About the Quilter:
Maureen Charlton. "Altana Shepherds ", has the honor of breeding Altana's Mystique, the top-winning Dog of all time, All Breeds. This record places the German Shepherd Dog in this prestigious position in the Record Books.
Our breed has been a part of Maureen's life for many years, giving her great success and the opportunity to make some very special friendships along the way. She says "German Shepherds make my life complete and I will always treasure the wonderful times they have given me."
Maureen has always had an interest in making things, and "quilting" is a great way to continue
showcasing her love for the German Shepherd Dog!
The German Shepherd Dog Club of Canada has one major show in the fall to end the show season. This is a very large exciting specialty for conformation and obedience and sometimes Agility and Rally with an average of 200-300 GSD's entered from all over Canada, the USA and sometimes Bermuda and even Germany.
This is the show to see!!
This is the show of shows as all the work and winning done during the show season is basically capitalized on here as this is where most of the titles of those top dogs are won.
There are opening ceremonies and usually demonstrations during intermissions. There is a video set up to catch all these amazing dogs on tape then tapes are sold to allow breeders to preview the quality from all over and maybe choose that special male they might want to breed their female to in the future. There is a camera shoot for all the winners to keep those prestigious moments forever. There are some beautiful perpetual trophies that stay with the club and grow in size over the years as the names of winners are put on their perspective trophies.
The show is held indoors in a hockey rink (minus the ice) on sod that is brought in specially for this show. The ring for showing is almost the size of the rink itself and it is amazing to watch the stamina of both dogs and handlers going around this ring as they are being judged. The double handlers are a show onto themselves and something to see.
There are booths to shop at, a silent auction, a large trophy table, banners flying and ribbons galore. A cafeteria, cafe and vending machines are available for all your needs.
Fun and camaraderie for all.

"Throughout the Years"
A Commemorative Quilt Featuring our Club's Logos
The German Shepherd Dog Club of Canada will be unveiling our "Throughout the Years" quilt at this year's National Specialty Show in Kitchener, Ontario. Now in its final stages of creation, it showcases every Club logo from 1925 to 2014.
Maureen Charlton envisioned, designed and created this quilt and we are grateful for her thoughtfulness and generosity. Her classic, commemorative design also serves to honor our Club's long-time, hardworking members (past and present), and our beloved German Shepherd Dog.
Club Historian, Librarian and Secretary Tom Morgan found each logo from the Club's archives, and secured an anonymous donor who had them transferred onto silkscreen. Maureen credits Tom's hard work and enthusiasm as contributing factors in this idea coming to fruition.

SANDPOINT, Idaho.—People in the Sandpoint area were coming to terms in April with one of the area's largest employers filing for bankruptcy.
Coldwater Creek announced it on Friday. That means roughly 500 people in North Idaho will be without jobs.
A former employee told KREM 2 News about the company's history and its importance to Sandpoint. The former employee said there was once a time when people flocked to the Sandpoint area to work at Coldwater Creek.
Employees continued to arrive at work and fill the parking lot on Monday morning, but things were set to change. The women's clothing company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy citing its declining assets and tough retail conditions.
A former employee who worked as a designer for the company for several years in the late 90s and early 2000s said the years at Coldwater Creek were some of the best of her life. The woman said people moved to Sandpoint to work for Coldwater Creek, which was the area's largest employer.
The former employee said she thought outside of the box and was innovative in the company's development of its website.
The company also helped to jump start the careers of several other Sandpoint business owners. The former employee said the company's bankruptcy hits especially hard given the company's economic and educational ties to Sandpoint.
A company spokesperson told KREM 2 News that when the jobs are eliminated the employees will not receive any severance pay but are eligible to continue to receive health care.
Coldwater Creek is expected to cease its operations within a few months.

The road to recovery begins
with a journey from inside you
The best way to begin any journey on the road to recovery is to choose a place and a partner that you can trust and feel comfortable with. A place where you can escape, unwind and heal your troubled soul or any addiction that is impacting on your ability to live a healthy, normal life. A place where you are understood, nurtured and helped in privacy and total confidentiality. There is a place where you can go. This is Riverview Manor, South Africa's premier specialist clinic.

No, Steve Carell did not make a secret cameo on The Office last week
Despite appearances to the contrary, the bearded man in the above photo is not Steve Carell. But honestly, did you guys really think Carell would make a 5-second cameo on the worst season of The Office to date?
Tags: television the office steve carell
thank god, I was wondering.
We're Kevin and Todd, and we like television. We'd write a more wordy description, but there's a rerun of Seinfeld on.

An introduction to Wittgenstein's Tractatus by G. E. M Anscombe ( Book )
65 editions published between 1959 and 2005 in 3 languages and held by 1,623 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
On certainty by Ludwig Wittgenstein ( Book )

Intention by G. E. M Anscombe ( Book )
62 editions published between 1957 and 2002 in English and French and held by 1,472 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Intention is one of the masterworks of twentieth-century philosophy in English. First published in 1957, it has acquired the state of a modern philophical classic. The book attempts to show to detail that the natural and widely accepted picture of what we mean by an intention gives rise to insoluble problems and must be abandoned. This is a welcome reprint of a book that continues to grow in importance."--BOOK JACKET
Zettel by Ludwig Wittgenstein ( Book )
63 editions published between 1967 and 2007 in 4 languages and held by 1,436 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Remarks on the foundations of mathematics by Ludwig Wittgenstein ( Book )
58 editions published between 1956 and 2001 in 4 languages and held by 1,409 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The posthumously published writings of Wittgenstein which first appeared in 1956 with the title "Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics" almost all take their origin from the period September 1937-April 1944
Remarks on colour by Ludwig Wittgenstein ( Book )
39 editions published between 1977 and 2007 in 4 languages and held by 1,174 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Part III of this volume reproduces most of a MS book written in oxford in the Spring of 1950. I have left out material on "inner-outer", remarks about Shakespeare and some general observations about life; all this both was marked as discontinuous with the text and also will appear elsewhere. Part I was written in Cambridge in March 1951: it is a selection and revision of the earlier material, with few additions. It is not clear whether Part II ante- or post-dates Part III. It was part of what was written on undated loose sheets of foolscap, the rest being devoted to certainty
Three philosophers by G. E. M Anscombe ( Book )
41 editions published between 1961 and 2009 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,112 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Gottlob Frege. - S. 131-162
Human life, action, and ethics essays by G. E. M Anscombe ( )
14 editions published between 2005 and 2011 in English and held by 1,007 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This is the first collection of essays by the celebrated philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe since the publication of three volumes of her papers in 1981. This new collection includes articles published subsequent to those volumes and not hitherto gathered, previously unpublished papers on human nature and practical philosophy, together with the classic essay "Modern Moral Philosophy" and a few otherwise difficult to obtain early pieces such as her Listener article "Does Oxford Moral Philosophy Corrupt the Youth"? The appearance of this volume is a major publishing event
New essays on Plato and Aristotle by Renford Bambrough ( Book )
25 editions published between 1965 and 1979 in English and Undetermined and held by 971 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
What can the study of the history of ancient philosophy bring to the study of contemporary philosophical problems and questions? In 'New Essays on Plato and Aristotle' eight distinguished philosophers address topics in Greek philosophy that are connected with current philosophical issues
Remarks on the philosophy of psychology by Ludwig Wittgenstein ( Book )
42 editions published between 1980 and 2003 in 5 languages and held by 928 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This bilingual edition of the Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology presents the first English translation of an essential body of Wittgenstein's work. It elaborates Wittgenstein's views on psychological concepts such as expectation, sensation, knowing how to follow a rule, and knowledge of the sensations of other persons. It also shows strong emphasis on the "anthropological" aspect of Wittgenstein's thought
From Plato to Wittgenstein essays by G.E.M. Anscombe by G. E. M Anscombe ( )
6 editions published in 2011 in English and held by 795 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In 2005 St Andrews Studies published a volume of essays by Anscombe entitled Human Life, Action and Ethics, followed in 2008 by a second with the title Faith in a Hard Ground. Both books were highly praised. This third volume brings essays on the thought of historical philosophers in which Anscombe engages directly with their ideas and arguments. Many are published here for the first time and the collection provides further testimony to Anscombe's insight and intellectual imagination

With school and work, I never really get a full day off and my mom works really hard as well- seven days a week for her. So last weekend on Good Friday when we both finally had a day off, we took advantage of it and went to the states for a day trip. Of course we were accompanied by The Wangs, our partners in crime. The officer at the border even asked us if we travel to the US together often (I guess they must have records in their computers), we said we were best friends. Anyway, I knew it was going to be a serious shopping trip because I was rudely awoken at 6:30 am. I didn't even have a chance to shower! It was barely noon before we got hungry so we drove over to Eagles Buffet, located in Tulalip Resort Casino, right beside Seattle Premium Outlets.
We have been here several times before but I don't really think much of it. It's a typical buffet with reasonable prices, a little on the higher end side, at least relative to Old Country Buffet. There was a short queue and we waited maybe about 15 minutes. I wanted to try my luck at the slots as we waited but the legal age in the states is 21 and I am still a couple years away.
The Lunch Buffet ($12.95 for Adults) was reasonably priced, considering the location. Seniors get a 15% discount, and you qualify if you are 50 years old or older. Included are complimentary drinks and they seemed to have a wide variety but you have to ask your server. I ordered raspberry iced tea and it was very good. I'm not sure if it's unlimited refills because I didn't finish my drink. Our server was rather rude but she warmed up to us as our meal progressed. It's okay, it's a buffet. But I don't think it's ever okay to be rude to someone.
The restaurant is huge! There were so many tables and thus, it made for a very loud restaurant. I could barely hear our conversation at the table. It's rather annoying but I was too hungry to care. The decor is quite nice but mostly average to me. Nothing struck me as eye-catching but it wasn't bad either.
There was a Mongolian grill.
The craving station. There was roast beef, ham and a salmon.
The one thing I really liked was their extensive dessert selection.
And I mean extensive! They even had at least 10 flavours of gelato as well.
This is my first plate. For the record, I suck at buffets so don't judge me. The roast beef was very tough and I only ate about a quarter of the piece. Too bad because I hate to waste food, I just couldn't eat it. It physically pained me to consume. I also got a bunch of what I call "fake Chinese food" from another station I did not photograph. There was also a create-your-own pasta station.
My second plate was from the create-your-own Mongolian grill. I wish I had gone here first because this was quite tasty! The chicken was my favourite meat while the pork was very tough, like the roast beef. I did not add any pieces of beef as it was frozen and suspicious looking. I would not eat that even if you paid me to.
My third plate consisted of baked wild Sockeye salmon, BBQ ribs and a pizza that I wanted to try because of the artichoke. The salmon was absolutely divine! I had two pieces and it was amazing after amazing. It was so tender and moist. The first time I saw it I laughed because I thought I could make salmon better than that but it is infinitely more juicy and flavourful than the salmon I make. Absolutely delicious! I could just have three plates of salmon and be completely satisfied. The tartar sauce and fresh lemon juice really complete it. The ribs were also very good but not on par with the salmon in terms of flavour. The BBQ was not fully marinated into the meat but the meat itself was very tender and just fell off the bones. I was unable to finish the pizza but the artichoke was good.
My dessert plate was lemon/lime sorbet, bread pudding and a carrot cake cupcake. The lemon sorbet was the most sour sorbet I've ever had in my life. I could not bare to finish it. My face now has permanent wrinkles from all the cringing. The bread pudding was good and so was the carrot cake. I was way too full to eat anything else after this.
It was a great place for a quick refuel in the middle of our shopping day at the outlets but it will be a long time before I return. The food is simply average and I hate buffets. There is also a Olive Garden and McDonald's right outside in the parking lot so it's not like you don't have other choices.
