Video Of The Week - Austin's Stiletto Stampede
Austin's annual stiletto stampede is not a marathon by any stretch of the imagination, but it is not for the faint of the heart either. That's because the brave women and men that participate in the 100-yard sprint not only don pink hats, wigs and even fairy wings, but also, stilettos that sport a heel of at least 5-inches!
Now in its fourth year, the fun race was founded by a group of enterprising residents of the beautiful Texas city to raise money for breast cancer awareness and research. This year's event which took place on October 20th, was a giant success with hundreds of women, men and even dogs all eager to kick up their heels, for a great cause!

The River Sheaf in Abbeydale
In 1891, the site was converted by Joshua Tyzack into a farm (Avenue Farm). The visible remains are:
the stone-overflow shuttle from the upper dam;
the lower dam, which has been cut in two by a farm track;
a channel which fed water from the wheel back into a stream.
The tilt shop and buildings were rebuilt as barns, one of them shows the date 1901. These have been recently restored as stables.

The new Superman's secrets
Traditionally cast only to ham it up as villains in Hollywood films, British actors have suddenly become in demand…More
Superheroes and their villainous counterparts aren't exactly struggling when it comes to the cool stakes. In fact, if anything, they've got too damn much of the stuff. But handing out even more of it to the comic book stars is designer Josh Siegel, aka Rogan Josh.
His modernist posters give a new spin to some of our favourites, from Superman to Batman to Iron Man. They all look incredibly wall-friendly so if you're feeling generous, could you get us a few for the ShortList office?

Waking Up the Garden in Springtime: What to do and When to do it...
Finally! The snow has melted back from my lawn and garden, revealing crocus, snowdrops and the bright green tips of daffodils pushing up from the ground. Honey-scented witch hazel perfumes the air and the sweet sounds of birds cheer up the grey, rainy days. The garden is slowly waking up from it's winter slumber, and it looks like spring is here at last. We're all itching to get outside and do something in the garden, and some of us are lucky enough to have already started. Indeed, gardeners in warmer climates may find the earth warm and ready to work, but for those of us in the more northern reaches of the country, it will be some time yet before we can turn our soil.
When early spring arrives, many gardeners have questions about what they can and should do, and when to do it. At this time of year, it's very hard for gardeners to be patient. If lawn and garden beds in your area have dried out, you may begin cutting back last year's growth and raking out debris—but start too early and you risk compacting wet soil. Before you begin working in your garden, reach down and scoop up a handful of earth. Is it moist and crumbly like dark chocolate cake? Then go ahead and get started. Is it wet and mushy, more like uncooked batter? Well then, it's best to put down your tools and go for a walk instead. Preserving your soil's structure is far more important than a tidy appearance.
In the garden, as in many other areas of life, timing is everything. So how do gardeners learn all the little tricks and bits of wisdom necessary to avoid costly mistakes and maintain a healthy and attractive garden? Some folks are fortunate enough to have a green-thumbed mentor—a friend or relative with years of experience and helpful advice to share. But not everyone is so lucky. Thankfully, modern gardeners have access to reliable, regional advice at the tips of their fingers. Many classic gardening publications and national organizations now maintain helpful websites with free and useful information. For example, I love visiting almanac.com, the website of The Old Farmer's Almanac. The almanac itself is a wonderful, old-world magazine, filled with the kind of useful gardening tidbits you might hear straight from the lips of the farmer, if he weren't so darned busy! And their website is a fantastic, online supplement to the classic yellow and white journal. Also worth bookmarking is the website of The National Gardening Association. This fantastic, free, online gardening resource offers well-timed, daily horticultural advice for gardeners in every USDA region.
If you are new to gardening, or simply feel like you could use a few fresh ideas, check your local paper for workshops and seminars offered at local gardening clubs. Come April I will be teaching a few classes of my own, and the number one book I recommend at my garden maintenance seminar is Tracy DiSabato-Aust's The Well-Tended Perennial Garden. Many, many books have been written on the subject of garden maintenance, and as someone working in the field of horticulture, I can be pretty critical of these books. This particular title is not only simpy and beautifully written, but it is also thoughtfully arranged by task and season. DiSabato-Aust so thoroughly covers all of the oft-overlooked details of perennial gardening, that I have come to believe her book is a modern garden-library classic. While this is the perfect gift for a young gardener, The Well-Tended Perennial Garden is also a handy guide for any perennial enthusiast.
Has the snow in your area melted yet? What are you itching to get started on in your garden?

When she isn't spreading compost or pruning shrubs, she can usually be found writing articles or giving seminars on all things gardening.

Falling in love feels good. It's the excitement of being with that special person who makes you feel great when you're with them. And that's how most romantic relationships begin. But "falling in love" stage isn't enough to sustain a marriage throughout a lifetime together. That takes a maturing love that still delights in the other but also decides to love even when the feelings aren't present.

Rethinking the Front Lawn as a Garden
Organic Gardening
Although they soak up large amounts of water, chemicals, and (over time) homeowner's money, front lawns often sit unused. Organic Gardening details how artist, architect, and author Fritz Haeg has helped bring a greener and suprisingly social solution to American yards.
Haeg has published two editions of Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn, and this particular article explains the process of and neighbor's positive reactions to the change.
"To create the garden, Haeg and Ridgley smothered the lawn with thick layers of newspaper and then topped it with a soil-compost mixture. Circular mounds of the mixture function as unframed raised beds. Wood chips define pathways. The plants make up the design of the garden." A variety of climate-appropriate seeds are sewn, and, as the garden grows and transforms the yard, Haeg points out that the change can become a topic of conversation and point of socialization for neighbors.
Read the full article at Organic Gardening.

For anyone who'd like to read more about Mr. Ridgley's garden, he has a blogspot blog over here. sadly, he has only posted once, but he HAS responded to comments in the past.
Er, wordpress, not blogspot. I've got blogspot on the brain!
My wife and I have been converting our property to be food-producing for a couple of years now. Because I hate grass (I (half-jokingly) think promoting the love of lawns is a form of social control, but that's another story...) we started in the front yard, replacing most of the grass with raised beds. It's been awesome, and I can attest to the social benefits of it. I have met many neighbors while I worked out there that I would not have otherwise. My wife has chronicled much of the process on her blog, starting with this post from 2009: http://www.moderncrafter.com/2009/05/yard-makeover-part-i.html
Just make sure that if you put a vegetable garden in your front yard, you won't be facing almost 100 days in prison.
@keeperrox You beat me to it.
Good thing I left Michigan for Salt Lake City, or else we could have been facing the same irritation.
@qhartman I agree with pretty much everything you said. Since ripping out much of our front yard and replacing it with a deck and garden, we have met many of our neighbors and feel much more part of the neighborhood.
Before and after pic. Garden is a little slow this year with the lingering winter we had here in SLC. Though our winter garden was much better this year.
Seams (such as the ones that hold your clothes together) are sewn.
Seeds (such as the ones that become plants) are sown.
I hope this becomes a revolution, seriously. Communities would benefit as well as the planet. Kudos!
The government will be in everything you do.
Hey Joshish. I'm also in SLC and would like to talk to you about a post you wrote on adobe. What did you end up doing? Insulating the outside? I'm re-stuccoing my house near the Capitol in the next week or so and trying to decide if/how to insulate the outsides ... Love to hear from you. Thanks! Kelly email@example.com

champagne and strawberry jelly
I wanted to treat some guests to something a bit fancy and a bit special, yet could be made well in advance. I hit on a "strawberries and champagne" theme and sidetracked over to jelly. So I had strawberry jelly made with champagne with strawberries suspended in it. I'd intended to make a champagne foam to top it off too, but I just couldn't be arsed! I recommend making half the mixture, setting the first lot with fruit in, then … Continue Reading ››

Chiropractic Medicine: A Natural Asthma Treatment?
A Growing Field
Doctors of chiropractic are medical professionals who believe in the power of the body's own healing abilities. To this end, these specialists use a natural approach to help resolve various health challenges. Their efforts focus in large part on the spinal cord and its function in relation to the body's other systems and on keeping these in a proper working state in order to maintain optimal health.
In the past, this method was used mainly for people with head, neck, joint and back pain, among other things. But as modern medicine has gained a better understanding of how the body works, the use of chiropractic practice has spread to address other conditions, including asthma.
A Natural Asthma Treatment
The idea behind using chiropractic adjustments to lessen asthma symptoms is that by manipulating the spine, it will open up the rib cage and help to open the airways and lungs to improve airflow there. However, many experts question the appropriateness of using this technique to treat medical conditions, including asthma and other respiratory disorders.
Much Controversy Exists
Research on the effectiveness of this type of treatment is still very limited and the topic is quite controversial in terms of whether it makes a real difference. That being said, some people do believe this holistic asthma treatment does work. So if you've had little or no success with other treatment methods, or if you suffer from severe side effects from taking high doses of asthma medications, trying chiropractic approaches could make sense. Just keep in mind that it may not replace your prevention and medication strategies, but rather is better used to supplement them, at least at first until you start receiving health benefits. However, if this natural asthma treatment ends up being effective, over time you may find the amount of medicine you require will eventually lessen.
A Word of Warning
If you're considering visiting a doctor of chiropractic for a natural asthma treatment option, just be sure to talk to your primary care physician first to see if he thinks this is a safe idea. While using chiropractic therapy doesn't have the same side effects as taking some of your asthma medications, there are certain risks involved in using any type of spinal manipulation and should only be done by someone who is highly trained and well respected in this area.

Spaghetti and Meatballs Reviews
Gourmet | January 2009
reviews & comments (125)
I love cooking so much! As I take a little time to visit Gourmandia sites, I feel so glad because I discover a wide variety of recipes! This site has knowledgeable information about cooking recipes and cooking skills!
I've tried lots of Italian pasta recipes and even experimented with a few of my own creating, but this is by far the best meatball recipe I've ever tried. I make a couple of substitutions (I opt for all beef with no pork, and add some basil to the recipe, baking instead of frying), but without any major tweaking it's been my go-to recipe for the last year. The soaked bread adds an exquisite moisture to these meatballs that makes them substantial, but also beautifully light. This recipe satisfies even the heartiest appetites around my house, and a range of taste preferences. I don't think you can go wrong with this recipe!
We really enjoyed this spaghetti recipe but we made some deviations. First, I prepare a larger portion since my family has an extreme appetite. Second, I added mozzarella partially and the rest is cheddar. My three-year old son enjoyed putting some cheeze in. We will surely cook this again coupled with delightful dessert which you can find at http://www.gourmetrecipe.com/recipes/tiramisu. Really an enjoying meal!
I made the meatballs only. I only had ground beef and skim milk, and these are the best meatballs I have ever made, period.
After DYING to find THE BEST meatball recipe ever, I tried this after reading all of the great reviews. WOW... I made it (halved) THREE TIMES in one week over the Christmas holiday! Here are the "tweaks" I made: absolutely added fresh basil to both the sauce and the meatballs. After learning an Italian restaurant owners "top meatball secret," I too added raisins (golden) to my meatballs. Sounds crazy, but I soaked about 10 oz of goldens, popped them in the micro for about 30 seconds to fatten them up, and added them to the meatball mixture. Even people who claim to hate raisins raved over the subtle sweetness. Instead of using whole milk to soak my bread, I used buttermilk at another reviewer's suggestion. The last time I made these meatballs, I replaced the group pork with mild ground sausage, then OOPS! Forgot the eggs all together! Ultimately, they were the best meatballs I've made so far. Also, like many other reviewers, I found that frying them was not the way to go. Either stuck to the pan like h*ll or were WAAAAY too greasy. Baked 1.5 to 2 inch meatballs at 375 for about 30 minutes total. I turned them for even cooking in 10 minute intervals. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this receipe!
Very very very good recipe!!! That being said, there a few things that I thought needed to be modified. First of all oh my goodness halve the salt in the sauce!!! You will ruin your sauce if you use the full amount. Second of all, use a much smaller amount of milk to moisten the bread, otherwise the mixture is way too wet, even with squeezing it out and all. Also, having both fried and baked the meatballs, I find baking them was much better due to the fact that the meatballs have so much cheese in them that they stuck like crazy to the pan when frying despite using lots of oil to fry them up. Also, don't skimp on buying the fresh flat leaf parsley....I made the meatballs once with and once without the parsley and believe me, the batch WITH parsley was so much better!! And....don't be fooled by the deceptively simple sauce-at first I thought "Ugh it's too plain" but you know what? It's the simplicity of the sauce that works so well with the delicious meatballs.....keep your doctored up sauce recipe and make it sometimes, and then for something different, make this uncomplicated sauce and killer meatballs....they are SO GOOD.
This is my favorite meatball recipe. It is wonderful and fairly easy. I sometimes brown the meatballs in the skillet and then bake them. They are fork tender every time.
This is the best recipe for meatballs I have ever used. They come out perfectly each time, particularly if you use the "claw" method described in his article (position your fingers like a claw to combine ingredients, and only combine as minimally necessary). I prefer using linguine over spaghetti and the recipe for sauce/meatballs freezes easily. Highly recommend!

Even in the face of murder victims piling up, the wedding guests set off on a scavenger hunt. How long will it be until the hunters become the prey?

Mouse Tracks Shawl Pattern
Finally, I have a pattern for sale online as a printable, electronic file (PDF). I have about ten more almost ready to sell, and many more designs lined up behind those. Here is a brief description:
This variation of the vintage neck scarf pattern that crosses in the front through a channel to hold it closed includes strategically placed increases/decreases to lengthen the shawl in the back, and intermittent short rows to provide flare. The lace patterns (the diamond edge and the mouse prints neckline) are inspired by patterns in Gossamer Webs by Galina Khmeleva and Carol Noble, Interweave Press, 1998. This pattern includes instructions for altering the length of the shawl.
• Sport weight, sock weight, jumper weight, or fingering weight
• 11 oz (312gm) or
850 – 900 yds (780m – 820m)
• Straight or circular (the shawl is knit back and forth)
• U.S. Size 2 or 3 (2.75mm or 3.25mm)
Every row of this shawl is charted. Garter stitch and a small amount of 1x1 ribbing are the basic techniques used throughout. 10-page PDF pattern

Transportation Safety Planning (TSP)
Transportation Safety Planning (TSP) is a comprehensive, system-wide, multimodal, proactive process that better integrates safety into surface transportation decision-making. Federal law requires that the State and Metropolitan transportation planning process be consistent with Strategic Highway Safety Plans. It is important for the process to consider projects and strategies to increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized users. State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) play the leading roles in transportation safety planning. However, to make the greatest impact, it is importation to look beyond the traditional stakeholders. Other stakeholders who should be at the table should include:

Havre de Grace Mayor Wayne Dougherty and members of the City Council honored an employee who went "above and beyond" her regular duties to produce a guide for new residents.
Laurie Dawson, a secretary in the city's Department of Public Works, was recognized during Monday's council meeting.
Dougherty read a proclamation in Dawson's honor as she stood before the council with her husband, mother, brother and sister-in-law behind her.
"I know the amount of stress and strain that office holds," the mayor told Dawson, acknowledging her daily duties of communicating with Havre de Grace residents.
Council President Randy Craig and Public Works Director Larry Parks were also present for the ceremony.
Dougherty noted Dawson strives "to find new and improved ways" to communicate with residents who contact Public Works.
"It's a pleasure to have you in that office," he said.
Dawson "spent every spare moment" producing the city's "Welcome Home! Havre de Grace Citizens' Resource Guide."
The mayor introduced the guide during the Oct. 7 council meeting. The 31-page booklet is a resource for new residents and contains information on city services, municipal contacts, local employment opportunities, local schools and recreational and cultural opportunities.
An electronic copy can be found on the city's website at http://www.havredegracemd.com/resourceguide free printed copies are available at City Hall, the Police Department, Visitor Center, Havre de Grace Library or at the Lewis Lane Activity Center.
Parks praised Dawson's positive attitude, work ethic and inventive nature.
"When she doesn't have something to do, she finds something to do," Parks said.
Dawson was also congratulated by members of the council during the period of the meeting reserved for council member comments.
"What a true, true gem she is," Councilman David Glenn said. "Her can-do attitude and her tireless dedication is matched by very few people."
Craig said later that the council does not honor city employees on a regular basis, but does recognize "from time to time" those who have gone well beyond their normal duties.
Manager of Tourism Brigitte Peters was honored in May for her work in bringing the city War of 1812 celebration to fruition.
Thousands of people came to Havre de Grace for the celebration weekend, which included a re-enactment of the British invasion of the city in 1813, 200 years prior.
License agreement approved
The council members voted 5-0 in favor of authorizing the mayor to enter into a license agreement with the operators of the Lorien Havre de Grace Skilled Nursing Center, in order to allow the placement of a sign in the city's right-of-way along Route 40.
The nursing center is operated by Lorien Health Systems; the company is headquartered in Ellicott City and operates assisted living, skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities across Central Maryland.

So I've been thinking about something that was left unsaid. And what I've (so slowly) come to realize is that she didn't owe it to me or anyone else to talk about it. Although I still wish that it had been said when it could have changed things, it doesn't change the way it went down or the way it was for years. And it's selfish and unrealistic to pretend it could have been any other way, as it was her decision when or if to say anything at all. It's so strange because I have defended others for not saying anything but when it comes to your family not saying it to you it seems more clear cut and it's not. It's not. It's dangerous to talk about it. It can ruin your life even now, especially now, but even more so during her formative years. I can understand it and no one owes anyone else the whole truth of their lives all the time. I'm glad that I took the time to think about it. I've been struggling with it for the past month or so but it's true. I'm still figuring it out but I feel like I'm on more even ground now.

Likes: it works. however, it takes little time to fill the Nemo Astro Insulated with this pump.
Dislikes: it takes little time to fill up the Nemo Astro Insulated with this pump. however, would prefer to use dry air then blowing up the pad with mouth.
Weighing just 1.5 pounds and bolstered with foam, the compact NEMO Astro Air Insulated inflatable sleeping pad is ready-made for 4-season backpacking. Dual valves make inflation and deflation easy.
Zoomify would go here, or a larger image... This is a temporary placeholder... The settup of this may change depending on whether we are in fact using Zoomify.

Flea drops are probably the best treatment for flea on dogs. These topical treatments work fast and are more effective than flea combs, shampoos, and sprays. If you want to quickly end the battle against fleas on your pets, flea drops are the way to go. In a matter of hours the fleas on your dog will die, giving relief from the bites.
There are a few different flea drops available in the market today, so here we will help you understand which is best for you and your dog.
Benefits of Flea Drops for Dogs
Flea drops are the most powerful and most effective type of flea treatment for dogs. Most flea control products for pets will only kill the adult fleas, and are not meant for lasting prevention. Flea drops on the other hand, will kill eggs, larvae, and adults. Flea drops are also powerful enough to only require one treatment a month, even through shampooing. This will end a flea infestation much faster!
Keep in mind, flea drops are effective because they use higher concentrations of insecticides. However, if you don't want to use insecticides on your dog, you still have options. Sentry Natural Defense are flea drops that are completely natural and non-toxic.
Common Active Ingredients
- Imidacloprid – a insect neurotoxin that will kill flea adults and larvae (more effective on adults)
- Permethrin – naturally derived insect neurotoxin that kills adult fleas
- Fipronil – insecticide that affects the central nervous system on adult insects
- Pyriproxyfen – a juvenile hormone that prevents larvae from pupating into adults
- Methoprene – another juvenile hormone that causes larvae to never reach adulthood
- Essential Oils – natural insect control (Peppermint, Cinnamon, Lemon Grass, Clove)
Flea drops will often contain more active ingredients than other flea products, so it is essential that you carefully read the safety label. Depending on the size of your dog, different concentrations of ingredients will be used. It is important to only use flea drops intended for the size of your pet, otherwise the drops may be ineffective or they could harm your dog. These topical treatments should only be applied once a month. This differs from other flea control products which may be applied daily, weekly, or as needed. Never use dog drops on cats.
Best Flea Drops for Dogs
Bayer Advantix for Dogs
Bayer K9 Advantix flea & tick drops are one of the more popular brands of flea drops for dogs. This product contains imidacloprid, permethrin, and pyriproxyfen for the active ingredients. The combination of these ingredients makes it very effective in eliminating eggs, larvae, and adults of the most common parasites on dogs. These include fleas, ticks, flies, and mosquitoes. Advantix will remain effective for 30 days, and it is waterproof. This product also works best if applied before the flea season starts. It can be used on puppies as young as seven weeks old.
Frontline Plus for Dogs
Frontline Plus for dogs also is the main competitor of Advantix, and works in a similar way. The active ingredients in Frontline Plus are fipronil and methoprene. This is a combination of neurotoxins to kill adults, and insect growth regulators hinder development of larvae. Similarly to Advantix, this medicated ointment should only be applied once a month, and remains even after baths and water immersion. This is because the active ingredients are kept in the dog's oil glands, and are released as fur grows. One Frontline Plus package contains three applications, so your dogs will be protected for from fleas for a three-month period.
Sentry Natural Defense
If you are looking for a more natural type of flea drops for dogs, check out Sentry Natural Defense. This is an insecticide-free product and the main active ingredients are essential oils. These include peppermint oil, cinnamon oil, lemon grass oil, clove oil, and thyme oil. Essential oils are plant's natural defense to insects. So they are deadly to insects, but harmless to mammals. These all-natural ingredients are safe enough even when there are children and other pets around. Sentry Natural Defense gives up to four weeks of flea control for dogs and puppies. It is veterinarian tested and approved.

El Paso has a city council election coming up in May and one of the big issues is expanding health benefits to domestic partners of gay city workers. This has riled up some religious city residents who think this is pure sin.
At least one candidate determined to rescind the domestic partner benefits is running in each city council race.
In District 1, minister Manny Hinojosa is running against the incumbent. According to what Hinojosa said recently, there probably is no need to have an election. Who could beat God's handpicked candidate?
"I've got God and the Holy Spirit on my side and if you ever get on your knees and pray you'll find out," said Hinojosa.
Candidates like Hinojosa are supported by El Pasoans For Traditional Family Values. The leader of this loose group of community members, Barney Field, said that Christians "didn't resist" the "erosion" of their values, but now is the "time to take a stand."
"Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God and love each other. I live by those commandments," Field said.
There is obvious irony in stating that people should love one another while seeking to deny health benefits to those who do love each other.
Irony and being the self-professed chosen of God are not all that these candidates have to set them apart from the usual civic-minded candidates.
Malcolm McGregor is running in District 8 with the promise of a Christian, theocratic agenda for El Paso. Theocracies have generally died away in modern times, but Iran stands as an example of what one looks like. Of course, that is a Muslim theocracy. McGregor and his ilk undoubtedly see a Christian theocracy as different.
Again, this group of Christian, theocratic candidates must seem inevitable for El Paso. Surely, God would not accept anything less. Perhaps to prove that point, McGregor pointed to the earthquake and tsunami that has killed thousands of Japanese.
"Japan had built tsunami walls along their coasts but this tsunami was bigger than that. No matter what you say, they either weren't blessed with protection or they were cursed with an earthquake. God did say, Christ did say that earthquakes would increase in the last days and that's what we're seeing," McGregor said.
That's right. God cursed the Japanese. It must be true because it's straight from the mouths of His handpicked candidates in El Paso.
It always amazes me how those who claim to have a loving God can justify the death of thousands by putting the responsibility for those deaths on Him.
There is a video of McGregor's words here.

Cron, Lisa
Adult Nonfiction PE1408 .C7164 2012
|p. 1
|1 - How to Hook the Reader
|p. 6
|Cognitive Secret: We think in story, which allows us to envision the future.
|Story Secret: From the very first sentence, the reader must want to know what happens next.
|2 - How to Zero In on Your Point
|p. 23
|Cognitive Secret: When the brain focuses its full attention on something, it filters out all unnecessary information.
|Story Secret: To hold the brain's attention, everything in a story must be there on a need-to-know basis.
|3 - I'll Feel What He's Feeling
|p. 44
|Cognitive Secret: Emotion determines the meaning of everything-if we're not feeling, we're not conscious.
|Story Secret: All story is emotion based-if we're not feeling, we're not reading.
|4 - What Does Your Protagonist Really Want?
|p. 65
|Cognitive Secret: Everything we do is goal directed, and our biggest goal is figuring out everyone else's agenda, the better to achieve our own.
|Story Secret: A protagonist without a clear goal has nothing to figure out and nowhere to go.
|5 - Digging Up Your Protagonist's Inner Issue
|p. 84
|Cognitive Secret: We see the world not as it is, but as we believe it to be.
|Story Secret: You must know precisely when, and why, your protagonist's worldview was knocked out of alignment.
|6 - The Story Is in the Specifics
|p. 103
|Cognitive Secret: We don't think in the abstract; we think in specific images.
|Story Secret: Anything conceptual, abstract, or general must be made tangible in the protagonist's specific struggle.
|7 - Courting Conflict, the Agent of Change
|p. 124
|Cognitive Secret: The brain is wired to stubbornly resist change, even good change.
|Story Secret: Story is about change, which results only from unavoidable conflict.
|8 - Cause and Effect
|p. 144
|Cognitive Secret: From birth, our brain's primary goal is to make causal connections-if this, then that.
|Story Secret: A story follows a cause-and-effect trajectory from start to finish.
|9 - What Can Go Wrong, Must Go Wrong-and Then Some
|p. 166
|Cognitive Secret: The brain uses stories to simulate how we might navigate difficult situations in the future.
|Story Secret: A story's job is to put the protagonist through tests that, even in her wildest dreams, she doesn't think she can pass.
|10 - The Road from Setup to Payoff
|p. 185
|Cognitive Secret: Since the brain abhors randomness, it's always converting raw data into meaningful patterns, the better to anticipate what might happen next.
|Story Secret: Readers are always on the lookout for patterns; to your reader, everything is either a setup, a payoff, or the road in between.
|11 - Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch
|p. 200
|Cognitive Secret: The brain summons past memories to evaluate what's happening in the moment in order to make sense of it.
|Story Secret: Foreshadowing, flashbacks, and subplots must instantly give readers insight into what's happening in the main storyline, even if the meaning shifts as the story unfolds.
|12 - The Writer's Brain on Story
|p. 219
|Cognitive Secret: It takes long-term, conscious effort to hone a skill before the brain assigns it to the cognitive unconscious.
|Story Secret: There's no writing; there's only rewriting.
