moreCombining breadth of coverage with detail, this logical and cohesive introduction to insect ecology couples concepts with a broad range of examples and practical applications. It explores cutting-edge topics in the field, drawing on and highlighting the links between theory and the latest empirical studies. The sections are structured around a series of key topics, including behavioral ecology; species interactions; population ecology; food webs, communities and ecosystems; and broad patterns in nature. Chapters progress logically from the small scale to the large; from individual species through to species interactions, populations and communities. Application sections at the end of each chapter outline the practicality of ecological concepts and show how ecological information and concepts can be useful in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Each chapter ends with a summary, providing a brief recap, followed by a set of questions and discussion topics designed to encourage independent and creative thinking. less

fuckasaurus rex, I need to get caught up scanning the weekly watercolors I've done. It's hard to motivate to do that though, because they've been pretty shitty paintings the past few weeks. This one here of Dorien's mom Alione is the first decent painting in a while. This is her when she first meets Dorien's dad, Solien.
And confuses him for a deaf-mute. And probably nearly tries to molest him. And romance happens.

John Crist: Let's get started. No Jay Cutler questions, I promise. Let's get going with Devin Aromashodu. He is a name that Bears fans have fallen in love with and had a couple of hot games down the stretch. Do you see enough on tape that this guy can legitimately be a solid NFL starter, or did he just have a good month in some meaningless games?
Greg Cosell: Well, the way I look at this stuff is I look at it based on skills and attributes at the wide receiver position, so I feel there's enough tape to make a judgment, and I feel he's one of those sort of fluid, long striders. I think that he's got deceptive deep speed, which we saw in that game against the Vikings. I think he actually was laterally quicker on in-breaking routes that I thought he'd be, so I think he definitely is going to be a solid NFL starter, and, obviously, not that we want to talk about Jay Cutler, but I think Cutler did have a feel for throwing to him late in the season. He felt very comfortable throwing to him, and I think that will help the kid a lot as they progress this season.

Ah, makes sense, given the kingdom arms. A quick browse thru the O&A shows that the exact wording varies majorly, but I think this is an SCA-acceptable blazon: Gules, a bend wavy between two double bitted axes or, as an augmentation on the bend in chief a mullet of five greater and five lesser points sable. Despite the fact that the SCA generally avoids "charged with", that apparently can be used as well. I think such a blazon would be about as elegant as the one above (that is, not particularly in either case). (Examples: Alan Fairfax|9907M|a|Bendy sinister Or and gules, a canton sable, for augmentation the canton charged with an annulet Or.

Updated: January 6, 2013 10:20PM
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Josh Brolin spent some of New Year's Day and the following morning in a Southern California jail cell after getting arrested for misdemeanor public intoxication.
Santa Monica Police Lt. Darrell Lowe says the actor was not given a citation for the Tuesday arrest, which means he likely won't have to appear in court.
Lowe says Brolin was arrested just before midnight January 1, when officers found him heavily intoxicated on a Santa Monica sidewalk. He was booked into jail and released about six hours later after he had sobered up.
A call to a publicist for Brolin was not immediately returned Sunday.
Brolin is starring in the crime film "Gangster Squad," which opens this week.

bilingual dictionaries
dictionary (reference work)
SECTION: Specialized dictionariesOf all specialized dictionaries, the bilingual group are the most serviceable and frequently used. With the rise of the vernacular languages during the Renaissance, translating to and from Latin had great importance. The Welshman in England was provided with a bilingual dictionary as early as 1547, by William Salesbury. Scholars in their analyses of language, as well as practical people for...
evolution of
Italian from Latin
history of Europe
SECTION: Arts and letters...in Italian, the language Bembo chose for his dialogue on love, Gli Asolani (1505), and Ludovico Ariosto chose for his delightful epic, Orlando furioso, completed in 1516. The vernacular was coming of age as a literary medium.
pai-hua from Classical Chinese
SECTION: Education in the republic...to read without understanding the meaning of the words. Now, progressive scholars rejected the heretofore respected classical writing and declared their determination to write as they spoke. The new vernacular writing, known as baihua ("plain speech"), won immediate popularity. Breaking away from the limitations of stilted language and belaboured forms, the baihua...
history of Europe
SECTION: The growth of vernacular literature
SECTION: The growth of vernacular literature
In literature, medieval forms continued to dominate the artistic imagination throughout the 15th century. Besides the vast devotional literature of the period—the ars moriendi, or books on the art of dying well, the saints' lives, and manuals of methodical prayer and spiritual consolation—the most popular reading of noble and burgher alike was a 13th-century love allegory,...
Castilian literature
Spanish literature
SECTION: The origins of vernacular writingBy 711, when the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula began, Latin spoken there had begun its transformation into Romance. Tenth-century glosses to Latin texts in manuscripts belonging to the monasteries of San Millán de la Cogolla and Silos, in north-central Spain, contain traces of a vernacular already substantially developed. The earliest texts in Mozarabic (the Romance dialect of...
development of
book publishing
history of publishing
SECTION: Humanistic and vernacular booksConcurrently with the revived interest in classical literature and language came the production of vernacular books. A vernacular literature had long been growing; and anonymous medieval authors had composed poems and stories of first importance before the 14th century, but their transmission had been largely oral. In the 14th and 15th centuries vernacular books appeared. The anonymous classics...
Western literary themes
Western literature
SECTION: Vernacular works and dramaThe main literary values of the period are found in vernacular works. The pre-Christian literature of Europe belonged to an oral tradition that was reflected in the Poetic Edda and the sagas, or heroic epics, of Iceland, the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf, and the German Song of Hildebrand. These belonged to a common Germanic alliterative tradition, but all were first recorded by...
Russian literature
SECTION: Cultural life...cultural forces were, for various reasons, unable to assert themselves. They were physically dispersed, socially diverse, and set at odds by cultural and political disaffection. The development of a vernacular literature, which can be seen in the synthetic "folk songs," pamphlets, tales, and imitations produced for and by the growing educated class, remained a marginal phenomenon;...
use by
Italian poet and scholar, best remembered as the author of the earthy tales in the Decameron. With Petrarch he laid the foundations for the humanism of the Renaissance and raised vernacular literature to the level and status of the classics of antiquity.
Dante (Italian poet)...The poem amazes by its array of learning, its penetrating and comprehensive analysis of contemporary problems, and its inventiveness of language and imagery. By choosing to write his poem in Italian rather than in Latin, Dante decisively influenced the course of literary development. Not only did he lend a voice to the emerging lay culture of his own country, but Italian became the...
SECTION: Literary language...17th century and flourished throughout the 18th, but it was really a special form of rhetoric with antecedent models in Greek and Latin). The first person to write major works of literature in the ordinary English language of the educated man was Daniel Defoe (1660?–1731), and it is remarkable how little the language has changed since. Robinson Crusoe (1719) is much more...
Marco Polo (Italian explorer)
SECTION: Nature and content of Il milione...Mesopotamia, the Assassins and their castles, Samarkand, Siberia, Japan, India, Ethiopia, and Madagascar. Il milione is better understood not as biography but as part of the vernacular didactic literature, of which the Middle Ages offer many examples.
occurrence in
documents of state
diplomatics (study of documents)
SECTION: Physical appearance of documents...charters, and it was used for international documents well into post-Renaissance times, until it was superseded by French as the language of diplomacy. In public and private documents, use of the vernacular alongside Latin gradually developed. Apart from its early and unique appearance in the documents of the Anglo-Saxons in England, no vernacular was used in charters before the 12th century....
religious practices
Eastern Orthodoxy
Eastern Orthodoxy (Christianity)
SECTION: The role of the liturgyNormally, the content of the liturgy is directly accessible to the faithful, because the Byzantine tradition is committed to the use of any vernacular language in the liturgy. Translation of both Scriptures and liturgy into various languages was undertaken by the medieval Byzantines, as well as by modern Russian missionaries. Liturgical conservatism, however, leads de facto to the preservation...
Eastern Orthodoxy (Christianity)
SECTION: Missions: ancient and modern...worship and developed their own liturgical traditions. Even though, by the time of the Greek missions to the Slavs, the Byzantine church was almost monolithically Greek, the idea of a liturgy in the vernacular was still quite alive, as is demonstrated by the use of the Slavic language by the missionaries led by Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century.
Martin Luther's works
Martin Luther (German religious leader)
SECTION: Diet of Worms...Luther's translation profoundly affected the development of the written German language. The precedent he set was followed by other scholars, whose work made the Bible widely available in the vernacular and contributed significantly to the emergence of national languages.
The Protestant Heritage (Protestantism)
SECTION: Authority of the WordMythology aside, Protestants without exception concentrated on biblical teaching, actively translated the Bible into the vernacular, and disseminated it as widely as possible—aided by the invention of movable type in the mid-15th century and the resultant progress in printing technology. While the Bible was ordinarily read in the churches and interpretation was shaped by the old and new...
Roman Catholic liturgy
...1951 and 1955. The second Vatican Council (1962–65) endorsed the aims of the movement and recommended that Roman Catholics should actively take part in the liturgy; legislated the use of the vernacular for liturgies, overturning the traditional use of Latin as the sole liturgical language; and ordered the reform of all sacramental rites, a task completed in the 1970s. A new lectionary...
mass (Roman Catholicism)...which includes the offertory, the eucharistic prayer (canon), and the communion rite. The mass was changed greatly after the Second Vatican Council (1962–65), most conspicuously in the use of vernacular languages in place of the traditional Latin.
Roman Catholicism
SECTION: The mass...Roman rite until the 6th century. As a sacred language, Latin really has no parallel. Jews have always made a genuine effort to learn some Hebrew, and other sacred languages are archaic forms of the vernacular; the English of the Authorized Version of the Bible became the language of prayer in many Protestant churches. The effect of the use of Latin, it has been argued, was to make the liturgy...
The Sudan
Nilo-Saharan languages
SECTION: Writing...Swahili in Kenya). Nilotic languages such as Luo, Masai, and Turkana are taught in primary schools in Kenya together with English and Swahili. The official policy of Sudan with respect to the use of vernacular languages along with Arabic and English has fluctuated during the decades after its independence in 1956. In Ethiopia, Amharic remained the sole medium for public communication and...
SECTION: Impact of the Protestant Reformation and the Counter-Reformation on European universities...This school was one of the first to renounce religious orthodoxy of any kind in favour of rational and objective intellectual inquiry, and it was the first where teachers lectured in German (i.e., a vernacular language) rather than in Latin. Halle's innovations were adopted by the University of Göttingen (founded 1737) a generation later and subsequently by most German and many American...

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Henri' tag.
Our hearts are broken.
Henri the old Pup gave us a mighty scare last Spring right after we moved to our new forever home. We were blessed to spend time with him for several more months watching him frolic around the yard, along the country roads, in the woods, by the pond, garden, three feet snowdrifts; lounge by the pool, porch, fireplace, bedroom …in front of Ron Hawkins and spend quality "I could care less about you" time with his five feline siblings and lots and lots of friends who came to visit the new house.
Henri was the kindest soul and lived a good life. But he was getting old. And tired. And mostly slept, getting up every hour or so to spin around to plop back down or to follow mama or papa into the next room to be by us at all times. Slower to get up, harder to jump into the car for rides or on the bed at night. A little hard of hearing, a little more senile at times. And for a while there we were even making sure he had a doggie diaper on at night. Yet, the old doggie still managed to get cat food at all costs though, funny how that works, right?
A few weeks ago Henri seemed out of it, no fever like last time but labored breathing and hiding from us, tail between his legs …we took him to the vet where we learned he once again had a serious lung infection. He stayed overnight two nights, stabilized, got better and came home with two antibiotics and a steroid. About 8 days later, Henri waltzed into his checkup with that long waggedy tail and seemed to be fine. Another miracle recovery?!
And two days later, Henri got sick again. But different sick. Throwing up all over the place for hours and hours sick. Trembling and panting sick. The old pup followed me into the bathroom, which in itself wasn't unusual…but this time fell at my feet and just looked up at me with sad eyes. We took him back to the ER vet immediately. X-rays and blood tests were inconclusive, he had high levels of liver enzymes but this could be due to the meds. So he stayed overnight, the vet rehydrated him and 24 hours later we brought him home with nausea meds. Except we knew something was still wrong.
Henri's first night home was not good. I stayed up most of the night trying to calm him down between panting and shaking and sleeping. The vet really wanted us to keep an eye on him and thought it could be a reaction to the meds. The next day Henri got up (slowly) and went outside to go potty a few times, had tiny bit of chicken and drank water here and there throughout the day. But he spent the entire day/night in the same spot cozy in front of the fire with both Mama and Papa near his side all day. Calm, but definitely sick. That night we picked him up and he slept on the bed with us as usual…
Yesterday morning, he got off the bed and went over to the door to go outside, but then just stood there, turned around and plopped on the living room floor where he slept most of the day. No eating, no drinking, no potty. Not even a stinky butt boy fart. Around 6pm he managed to get up and wander into the foyer (which was away from mama in the living room and away from papa in the basement.) I gave him lots of love, held back tears, told him it was ok to go to sleep and we loved him. After that I walked away and went to bed bawling my eyes out. We called the vet and they said as long as he is still resting, wait until the morning when our regular vet would be in for an appointment. I cried myself to an early sleep.
In the meantime, Henri decided to muster up the energy and go downstairs to the basement where papa was watching a movie. Papa picked him up and put him on the couch and they stayed that way until he noticed Henri's breathing was getting shallow again. Papa carried Henri back upstairs and put him on the big round chair and woke me up, crying…saying we needed to take him in ASAP. Dani Cat (Mama Weber's little Mew Mew) jumped on the chair to next to Henri to keep him company while we got ready to leave, not a sweeter sight in the world.
Since our car is at the end of the driveway (cause we can't get it up in the snow) we decided to take the two seater truck…with Henri the Old Pup wrapped in a blankie on the front seat and mama squeezed in the back of the cab. Henri couldn't walk into the vet, he had to be carried. The vet techs took him in the back and put him on oxygen an IV, catheter and gave him a steroid injection. He would rest and we would talk to our vet in the morning.
The call from the ER vet came a little after 1am telling us Henri's heart stopped. They wanted to know how far we wanted to do life saving measures…it happened very quickly, and there was no sign of distress before it happened.
And that was that. Henri knew we loved him so, so much…and he decided where/when the best time to go be with his sister Sophie.
Thanks for the amazing memories Henri…mama and papa love you so, so much. Rest well old pup. And if you get a chance, give Simba Cat a good barking at just for old times sake.
Henri, like his papa, is a crazy creature of habit. We tried to move the out of place green chair that has been sitting in corner of the foyer into the other room and into the *future* nursery. Of course this was the chair Henri would sit on when mama was in the dining room at the table on the computer.
Well, today we decided to move my computer desk into the dining room with a view out the window of the front porch instead of the upstairs *office* area that we've not remotely done anything with. In about 10 years that large office area will make a fantastic upstairs living space/playroom but for now it's just completely unused. It was going to be our office but with HWMMS spending ALL of his time on the ground floor in the basement in his workshop with his computer and me sitting at the dining room table or sucked into the couch when I'm on the computer, it just made no sense. Now I'm trying to figure out where to place all the bookshelves. (In 10 years when that upstairs room is the playroom…the extra bedroom "nursery" downstairs will become the library/office. Long term plans are good but we live in the present right?)
So here I am typing away at the computer and Henri is pacing back and forth back and forth circle and scratching on the door and looking at me and looking at the empty corner where the chair once sat…about 10 minutes of this and I gave in.
Green out of place chair is back in the foyer. Henri is happy.
Last night I made 3 goals for today. Oh wait, 4 but one I can't tell you about. ;)
- 1. Take Henri for a walk
- 2. Spend time at Barnes & Noble
- 3. Write out dinner menu for next two weeks
Guess how many of these goals I've accomplished?
Instead I'm shooting for 7.000 posts on WordPress (with this post I'm at 6,998.)
I blame the amazingly warm enveloping hug of the woodstove.
87°! Does this look like a dog that wants to go outside in the cold, windy, wet and RAINY weather when our house is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo warm and cozy? (Now if it was snowing, total different story! But alas…)
Aside: I CANNOT BELIEVE MY 12 DAYS OF VACATION ARE OVER ALREADY! Boo.

Eragon (2002)

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Eragon was, to my opinion, an outstanding book. I couldn't put it down! Each Chapter is very exciting and hooks on to the reader. The book is very descriptive in detail, which is just wonderful! I Suggest those who love exciting books, read Eragon!
Eragon is one of those long fantasy books that isn't really new and doesn't have high excitement, but is very, very good at being a part of its own universe. There is a grand adventure here, starting with a boy who is about to become a man, but has his world turned upside down by events beyond his control. Through the book he learns to grow, not only as a person, but as someone who might one day have great things thrust upon him.
Paolini went to great lengths to work out the locations for this book, in such a way that you can practically see them in front of you. Readers might even feel as if they could simply walk out of their door and visit some of the places, such is the writing of their description. Each character also seems real, with positive and negative qualities balanced in each of them. Eragon is a hero, but he makes mistakes along the way, he has greatness thrust upon him, but it doesn't at all become something he settles into naturally.
This book has been compared to Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and many other stories, and I personally find some of the Dragon interaction a little Pern-like, but all of those elements mixed together make for some great storytelling. The cultures created within the pages are extremely real and well worked out. Of course, I am a little prejudiced when it comes to my enjoyment of this book, as I much prefer a story that treats dragons as intelligent creatures equal to those around them rather than greedy monsters out for a kill. The culture created there was much to my taste.
The most important thing I can say about this book is that if you have seen the movie and not read the book, forget everything you saw on the screen, pick up the book and read to the end. Usually movies are nothing like the books they were based on, but in this case the movie doesn't even come close. This book is by far the better choice.
Veramente un bel libro. I personaggi sono descritti molto bene, la storia scorre bene... Peccato per il film che ne hanno tratto: una vera schifezza!
I think the book was ok.It was good but nothing wow about it.Personally I don't like historical fantasy much but I don't want to limit my reading in any particular genre.So I tried it.
The story was good.The journey of a young boy with his simple normal life turned into something big and vast.The concept was good but the writing style...I don't know...too much description.
I found the long journey of Eragon and Brom was a bit boring.At sometimes it seemed they were travelling and travelling.And when Eragon was in Trojenheim,the description of that part was also a bit long.
But other than these complains the story was not bad.It was interesting and exciting.And the part where Eragon was dreaming about Arya was also good and nicely done.At the end though there was too much mystery remained unsolved like who was Eragon's parents,what was his real name(I knew from the first that it will not be revealed in this book),who saved him from the shade's memory.All these unsolved mystery was enough to keep me interested for the 2nd book.
''Eragon,'' for all its flaws, is an authentic work of great talent. The story is gripping; it may move awkwardly, but it moves with force. The power of ''Eragon'' lies in its overall effects -- in the sweep of the story and the conviction of its storyteller. Here, Paolini is leagues ahead of most writers, and it is exactly here that his youth is on his side.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440240735, Mass Market Paperback)Here's a great big fantasy that you can pull over your head like a comfy old sweater and disappear into for a whole weekend. Christopher Paolini began Eragon when he was just 15, and the book shows the influence of Tolkien, of course, but also Terry Brooks, Anne McCaffrey, and perhaps even Wagner in its traditional quest structure and the generally agreed-upon nature of dwarves, elves, dragons, and heroic warfare with magic swords.
Eragon, a young farm boy, finds a marvelous blue stone in a mystical mountain place. Before he can trade it for food to get his family through the hard winter, it hatches a beautiful sapphire-blue dragon, a race thought to be extinct. Eragon bonds with the dragon, and when his family is killed by the marauding Ra'zac, he discovers that he is the last of the Dragon Riders, fated to play a decisive part in the coming war between the human but hidden Varden, dwarves, elves, the diabolical Shades and their neanderthal Urgalls, all pitted against and allied with each other and the evil King Galbatorix. Eragon and his dragon Saphira set out to find their role, growing in magic power and understanding of the complex political situation as they endure perilous travels and sudden battles, dire wounds, capture and escape.
In spite of the engrossing action, this is not a book for the casual fantasy reader. There are 65 names of people, horses, and dragons to be remembered and lots of pseudo-Celtic places, magic words, and phrases in the Ancient Language as well as the speech of the dwarfs and the Urgalls. But the maps and glossaries help, and by the end, readers will be utterly dedicated and eager for the next book, Eldest. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:24:22 -0400)
In Aagaesia, a fifteen-year-old boy of unknown lineage called Eragon finds a mysterious stone that weaves his life into an intricate tapestry of destiny, magic, and power, peopled with dragons, elves, and monsters.

110 days (C. maxima) Oblong, teardrop-shaped, slate-blue colored fruit weigh 9 lbs. each. It has thick orange flesh that is sweet and tasty. An excellent keeper, this variety was popular in Missouri and Iowa back to at least the 1840's, believed to be of Native American origin, possibly from Mexico; it was introduced commercially by Hiram Sibley & Co. of New York in 1887.

What are the pros? Low maintenance
What are the cons? Hard to tell when mature
These squash are some of my favorite as far as flavor and texture go. They're dense and a little savory but just sweet enough. Pan fried in butter, topped with fresh picked cranberries and a touch of honey they are a perfect substitute for oatmeal. The seeds add a bonus crunch and flavor.
They did pretty well in a warm summer (for AK) with some cool nights and very dry conditions. I had to harvest too soon and they didn't keep at all, though. I didn't think they were going to produce and then, suddenly I had fruits on all my plants. They got to a good size pretty quickly. I think they'll be a little challenging to tell when they're completely mature. I'll be trying these again and treating them better!
In the meantime, suggestions for a winter squash that is less day sensitive than most would be awesome...

Got a good crop from these in the UK this year (8 from 1 plant) despite wet and cold spring hampering pollination. Useful shape for keeping as long round limits exposed inner flesh. Good flavour & fine texture, much like a Crown Prince, but seems to need longer to develop sugars. Not as good as Queensland Blue though, and still behind the Marina Di chioggia

The Victory Hammer S is the latest product of America's fledgling 'second' motor company with a slightly sportier stance and image than the stock Hammer due to mean black slathered everywhere and gorgeous Performance Machine Gatlin wheels, the rear wearing a massive 240-section tyre. Performance cruisers don't come any flashier than the Victory Hammer S.
The Victory Hammer S's 'Freedom' V-twin is a stormer, the brakes and suspension shame anything from Harley and all the controls are smooth and slick like only a quality, factory bike can be.
All things considered (huge weight, ridiculous back tyre) the Victory Hammer S's handling is pretty good. Yes, its tracking, steering and manouvrability can be something of a handful and take some getting used to but most cruiser riders will never try throwing it around in a way it wasn't really intended for anyway.
There are no common or garden, or in any way crude cycle parts and components, on the Victory Hammer S. Performance Machine wheels are the cream of the US custom scene and usually retail for well over £1000. Brakes are Brembo, hoses braided steel. Flash and brash it is.
At standstill, the Victory Hammer S is simply stunning: Mouth-watering, gorgeously-applied paint and chrome; Masses of sublimely-crafted alloy; and finish and detailing that wouldn't be out of place at the best custom chows on the planet. The Victory Hammer S is, quite simply, exquisite.
At £14,495 the Victory Hammer S is £500 more than the stock Victory Hammer, but then those wheels are worth more than that. That also makes it more expensive than any Harley bar the Ultra Classic Electra Glide. But think on this: the Victory Hammer S has a far better motor and is much better equipped, only you can judge the value, or not, or their respective badges. Find a Victory Hammer for sale

I'm not quite sure how the previous write of the review above can make comments without either owning or even riding a Victory. I have a 2009 Hammer S which has a slightly larger engine, a 106 cu.inch V-twin. I find the build quality superb and the paint finish second to none. The engine has a great deal of torque and will pull with vigor in all gears at almost any speed. I was surprised at how well it handles and it has a fair amount of ground clearance unlike other bikes in the 'cruiser' category. I wouldn't class this bike as your typical cruiser and more of a muscle bike, it shrugs off the typical image of the cruiser by it's aggressive styling and performance. The brakes are very positive and bring the bike to a stop with a feel of confidence. All of the bike uses premium parts and a build quality that puts a Harley to shame. I would not have considered a Harley as I don't like the whole image that it brings and the Victory looks almost a custom build that seems to attract the buyer that wants a bespoke looking and modern bike with attitude.
I never really considered this style of bike until I rode one and after that I was hooked. Try one and you might well be pleasantly surprised.

I don't know what you been smoking in that pipe, I roded the plain Hammer and I wpuldn't want one. If I wanted a bike that was nonharley it would been the Honda VTX1800. when you talk about Harley and that Hammer, see how much money you get for it in 25 years. Keep smoking and tell about the great KIa motorcycles.

Some Thoughts on Social Networks
Posted by Chris under All Too Common Mistakes, The Industry
[16] Comments
Before I got into publishing, maintaining my social network pages was easy. I joined Facebook in 2005, a bygone era where the most I had to worry about was whether or not my profile picture made me look chubby.
When I was lucky enough to land a job in publishing, I suddenly realized that my Facebook profile was filled with material I didn't exactly want every writer out there to see: three years worth of immature jokes shared with college friends, photos of me in silly costumes from various Halloween parties, and links to off-color material that made me laugh. I decided the day I became an agent that I was going to maintain Facebook only for my personal use. If I didn't know you or want every piece of information on my profile to be available to you, then we weren't going to be friends.
Predictably, I started getting friend requests from writers. Those were easy enough to ignore at first. Then I started getting from requests from editors. Those were a little tougher. After much hand-wringing (seriously, my hands were wringed), I accepted that in today's digital world, it was hopeless to hold out.
I'm sure many writers out there are struggling with the same issues. What should be on your Facebook page, your blog, your Twitter updates? Will you hurt your chances by posting something seemingly innocuous that could offend the wrong person?
The answer, unfortunately, is a very big maybe. We've all heard tall tales about editors reading bits of information about a writer that has turned them off to a project. I've personally encountered information about writers or my publishing brethren that made me hesitant to want to work with them. I don't go seeking this information out for the most part, but sometimes it has a way of showing up.
My main advice to you is to develop a strategy and stick with it. If you don't want all your information out there for the world to poke and prod, make sure that you're controlling what strangers can see. After all that hand-wringing I did, I've stuck to my guns and kept Facebook mostly personal by using different privacy settings (in case some of you out there were wondering why you can barely see any pictures of me or information but the basics, there's your answer). I decided that Twitter would be the tool I used more for communicating with writers and editors. For the most part, it's worked for me, aside from the *occasional query that references personal information about me and makes me squirm a bit (examples below).
So how about you? How do you make sure the information about you is only what you want people knowing? How do you ensure your professional identity is separate from your personal one in this connected world of ours? Or does it not matter to you?
*Nearly true examples of things culled from Twitter used in recent queries:
- Dear Mr. Richman: I hope you enjoyed your recent trip to California. I've written a book about surfers you may enjoy!
- Dear Mr. Richman: I recently read that you enjoy Philadelphia sports. How lame! May I interest you in a book about vampires?
- Dear Mr. Richman: I sincerely hope your rash has cleared up. My 109,000 word manuscript won't make you itchy at all!

Chris, Too funny! What to incorporate into your public world is a serious question. On my blog, which is mostly about writing, I have posted personal posts from time to time. For example, tales of my feline captors and our musical performances (my husband the doctor and I are also singer/songwriters). Last year, I had more fun than I probably should have posting about politics. (It's not my fault. Sarah Palin threw great material at me every day!!)
As a writer, I want to show my best side to potential agents and editors, but at the same time I want my blog to be a true expression of myself, warts and all. I've read advice by certain agents who say you should absolutely not put anything the slightest bit controversial on your blog. You never know who you might "turn off." I understand their point, but would I want to work with someone who would be "turned off" that easily? I suppose it depends on how controversial something is, but that's all subjective.
I'm not on Facebook, but I've recently embraced Twitter and am LOVING it! I resisted it for a long time until I went kicking and screaming into heaven. The writers, agents, and editors there are the most interesting and generous group of people. I'm honored to be a part of that world.
So, here's my query for you:
Dear Mr. Richman,
I live outside of Philly and can get you wicked Phillies and Eagles tix. Also, I love dressing up crazy for Halloween just like you. I'm hoping you might be interested in my fiction novel (it's not true, btw) called "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Phillies, But Were Afraid to Ask." Actually, it's called, "The Bamboo Train" and it's about Panda bears in Asia, but I was hoping the Phillies thing might spark your interest.
All best, D.L. Schubert
(You can contact my lawyer directly to work out the contractual details. Peace out!)

I also joined Facebook way-back-when, and I'm friends with people from middle school, high school, college, grad school and various family members. And that's why that one is now "In Real Life" people only (and is under my married name), and I made an account I keep for my 'professional' contacts. The same goes for Livejournal and for Myspace.
I've found keeping multiple accounts gives me even more control than privacy settings alone, and I don't have to worry quite so much about who can see what. I know exactly who has access to my personal accounts (I keep them locked), and if I'm posting to a "pro" account, I know what I'm posting will be mainly public and to be on my best behavior.
It might not work for everyone, but so far it seems to be working for me.

Hmm, Philadelphia sports fan? Do you mean like watching the Eagles lose to my Stillers or braving South Philly after dark to find the bestest cheesesteak ever? I'm the latter, although ilike the former as well
I do have to say, I find it amazing that agents put so much of themselves out there in the internets. I'd be terrified some writer would go off the deep end and start stalking me with their 209,000 word MS about the migratory patterns of seaweed. Writers are only slightly sane at best.
So are you interested in reading my MS on blue-green algae or what?
Chris says:
September 3rd, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I've thought about doing the two-account thing, but I feel like it'd be too difficult to maintain separate accounts when Facebook is already enough of a distraction as is.
Justina, your seaweed book sounds fascinating. Not right for me, though

As a former high school teacher, I swore I'd never get into the social networking thing. And then I had a friend convince me to set up a facebook page. I did nothing with it for at least a year until another friend told me about it. Next thing I know, I'm reconnecting with high school and college friends galore.
Then I got a friend request from a former student. A former student I absolutely adored, mind you, but a former student nonetheless. I knew if I accepted her request, I'd be opening the door to a lot more and consequently have to be more conservative about what I put out there for everyone to see. (Not that I'd put much objectionable material out there anyhow.) So I accepted her and subsequently many more.
Because I'd already made a decision to self-censor my facebook page before I became a writer, I have no fears about what a former student, future agent, editor, or reader might see. To be honest, if someone can't handle my obsession to that addicting Bejeweled game or my frequent status updates about drinking red wine and/or dirty martinis, then they shouldn't be "friends" with me.
I treat my facebook page like a postcard. I don't put anything out there I'd be afraid for everyone to see. Too personal? I'll send it in a message or to their email.
As I learn more about the necessity of social networking, blogs and websites for budding authors, I know that it's my duty to know where I want the line drawn to keep my professional life separate from my personal life. And it's my duty not to cross that line.
As far as embarrassing and potentially career-damaging pictures? None posted. Chances are good that I've got enough wine and vodka to bribe those folks to make sure those pictures are never seen.

I use LJ for my blog because of all the privacy settings. I review books for public viewing and will mention various, fairly non-personal things in public, as well. FB already has too many people that I don't want knowing my truly personal stuff, so it's the fluffy place (like the day I mentioned my love of cottage cheese and got tons of comments). Twitter is for shout-outs to books and authors I'm currently reading and loving. It's pretty much all I discuss there. I like having the different options, and I use my locked entries on LJ to discuss my more personal (and professional) challenges. It's certainly an interesting world with all the social networking available now!

Great topic.
I have three different levels of privacy setting on my Facebook account, so that I can reveal more or less to whomever. Of the eight hundred plus "friends" I have on Facebook, I probably am acquainted with five to six hundred of them via work and life and that sad stint I did in Folsom. But of those, the ones I actually count as friends are very few.
The rest of the people get varying degrees of access to my wall, my information, my pictures, my private dancing, etc.

I never put much personal information up on Facebook to begin with, but I did have a lot of pictures of my kids. At first, I decided to keep Facebook personal and use Twitter for networking and fun with the writing/publishing community. Didn't last. Like you, the requests kept coming from writers I really liked and respected and I caved to a few and then felt like I had to cave to all. So I read up on privacy settings and made groups for those that can and cannot access my pictures. I beleive I have it set so that my wall comments don't post to the homepage either.
I tend to be more lax on Twitter and tweet a mix of personal and professional content. I like to think I do it in a respectable manner, and don't share anything I wouldn't share in a group of strangers.

I have nothing to share with fans about my private life. My private life is I work, I yell at the kids to stop fighting, I drive around a lot on various pointless errands, I eat too much, drink too much, and do it all over again the next day.
This is why I don't like Facebook or Twitter. Even I'm not interested in my life so I can't imagine why anyone else would be. Ever notice how there are no 10 pm TV dramas about writers? Can you guess why?
Type, type, type, drink coffee. Type, type, type, puff on cigar. Type, type, type, eat hot dog. Tweet that.

I can't believe some of those tweets you got!
I keep my FB viewable to friends, family, and professionals that I feel close enough to share with. I do post personal stuff, but compared to what a lot of folks deem appropriate, it's not *that* personal. Mostly stuff about my travels.
The thought of sending a random query-like tweet to an agent or editor makes me feel yucky…like a used car salesman.

Lawsy, this new age of ours is crazy, huh? I like your plan of keeping FB personal and Twittering away to the masses. I might steal the idea.
PS. Forgive me for friending you
Totally kidding! I never have.

Wow. Those are creepy. I keep Facebook for old high school and college buddies and my blog for my writing life. I try to keep personal information out of it, and keep focused on topics of writing. Not that I don't stray to the occasional post about zombie sheep, but you have to spice things up once in awhile.
Larissa says:
September 5th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I, too, started Facebook before I started writing. I have decided to keep it personal and started a blog and twitter for writing contacts.
When I sell something, I plan to start a website and I'll do a fan page on Facebook.
And, yes, those queries are creepy. Yikes.

You tweeted about your rash? Must have been a doozy.
Jean says:
September 8th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
I'm thinking…keep it as separate as possible. The writing persona and then the 'yeah, that was me in grade 9, baby' persona. One for 'professional' and one for 'personal'. Those with pen names must just laugh at us.

[...] I've spoken about social networking before and won't rehash it here, but I'm beginning to see networking pay dividends. Writers from across the country know each other personally, are sharing and improving their work in online critique groups, and are better able to find things in common with editors or agents in order to better target their work.

Ok, for those students who intend doing the test here is some information that may be very useful.
First of all, you should visit the Cambridge English webpage. There you will find a lot of useful information and lots of tips and sample tests for you to prepare.
To do so, please click on the following link: http://www.cambridgeenglish.org
You can also try to read this document which I downloaded from www.gave.min-edu.pt: Projeto Key for Schools Portugal.
And after you do pass the exam (which I am sure you will!) you get a certificate that will look like this: Key for Schools Certificate Sample.
Well then, prepare, do your best but, above all, relax and trust in yourself!

Escitalopram is the active (S)-enantiomer of citalopram, which
has been shown to be twice as potent as citalopram with respect
to serotonin inhibition (Aronson and Delgado 2004).
With oral administration of 10 mg, it is rapidly and almost entirely
absorbed, and achieves peak plasma concentrations of 10–30
ng/mL in approximately 2–6 hours (Table
(Rao 2007). Its affinity for dopamine and norepinephrine
receptors is negligible. Like citalopram, escitalopram inhibits
serotonin reuptake. Radioligand single-photon emission computed
tomography (SPECT) studies with patients receiving escitalopram
or citalopram indicate that serotonin transporter occupancy in the
midbrain was higher with escitalopram (N. Klein et al. 2007).

More than not, people are so excited about a creative design they forget about the envelope. Don't fall victim to having to change your gorgeous design in the end to accommodate a regular sized envelope. It's best to have a full scope of your project from the beginning, including the envelope. Because we get asked about envelopes and sizes often, here is a little checklist or list of things to consider when designing an invite or something that needs mailing or delivering:
An unusual size will require a more creative delivery method. Unless you're into hand-making envelopes, we suggest you stick to a standard size. Here are some common sizes:
Most Announcement envelopes are called A-style sizing:
A-1 (or 4bar) : 3.625″ x 5.125″
A-2 : 4.375″ x 5.75″
A-6 : 4.75″ x 6.5″
A-7 : 5.25″ x 7.25″
A-8 : 5.5″ x 8.125″
A-9 : 5.75″ x 8.75″
A-10 : 6″ x 9.75″
These are just a few of the most common announcement sizes. Of course there are many square standard envelopes, etc. We suggest looking around at envelope sizes to get a feel for general sizing options.
Following one of these standard sizes will make your life easier.
What the flap?! Seriously though, some envelopes only come in a pointed flap option and some only with a squared flap. Some might come with both options. Just make sure you get this sorted out before you commit to a size.
Yes, the function of an envelope is a no-brainer. Its function is to protect and deliver. However, you might consider that a postcard might serve your invite or announcement well. It will save a few cents in postage to boot. Unless, of course, you'd like your RSVP status to remain a secret until received (you know so that your friends don't see that you personally scribbled in a note requesting an ovolactavegamicobiologicosmic-gluten free entree choice).
In short, just make sure that you don't forget to design for and with the envelope in mind.

SWEET FREEDOM Lyrics - Uriah Heep
As you look around you
Do you like what you see?
Though it sometimes
Makes you lonely
Do you like being free?
And are you sure you'll be okay
Without my company?
I just want you to be happy
Even if it's not with me
Sweet sweet freedom
Sweet sweet sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever meet
Sweet sweet Freedom
Sweet sweet sweet
What I'm really tryin' to say
sponsored linksIs that I will be around
Should you find that after all
You can't get by
With what you found
Oh, it wasn't just my heart you took
And gently tossed into the sea
Though it's hard to find
The words I need -
I guess it was me
Will the line between all this
And my love ever gonna meet
Sweet sweet Freedom
Sweet sweet sweet
Oh sweet, oh sweet sweet freedom
So sweet, so sweet

About the Author
In Her Own Words...
"It's a wonderful thing being able to go through your life doing exactly what you want to be doing--that's how I feel about both the writing and illustrating of children's books. To know that youngsters will be eager to turn the pages of a book that I have helped form gives me a strong sense of accomplishment and pleasure.
"I adored snuggling up to my mother while she would read (or I read to her) the same favorites over and over. Maybe that, coupled with crayons and endless hours of coloring and the love of nature, has helped form my destined fate.
"I entered the School of Visual Arts to study children's book illustration, though only one course really dealt with the subject itself. The other courses were related, combining graphics, type, painting, etc. I learned enough to know that I had better prepare myself for a graphicsrelated career because you just don't walk out and become a children's book illustrator. It's something that I found I had to work a very long time to achieve.
"In the interim, my husband, Tom, and I formed a graphic design studio, dealing with book jacket design (both trade and paper), photography, logo and movie design. I won't include all my growing pains with children's books but only mention the ultimate highlight. It was when, after numerous rejections-and a great deal of effort--I walked into the offices of Greenwillow and was greeted with smiles, had my portfolio reviewed, and was handed a manuscript.
"It was to me a now-or-never situation and I was petrified. The manuscript was The Piney Woods Peddler. Tom modeled for the peddler, and I spent some months in a stone mill in Millback, Pennsylvania. It was a perfect backdrop for the book, and many of the town residents are pictured.
"So much has passed since then, but a part of me still reacts the same every time I sit down at the drawing board to start a new book. It's that exuberance that comes over me, making every book just like the first one, even after thirty-five books and twenty years.
"My vision has grown since my daughter, Cristina, was born, because I see firsthand how important the early years are. I hope that the feelings I try to project within my booksthrough line, color, shape, and story — will make a difference to some young lives."

- Great chefhappyfanDined on 10/23/2014Julia's is a very fine dining experience with an interesting menu and excellent food. The ambiance is of course exquisite, the dining room being in Julia Morgan's little castle.Worth going just to see her amazing architectural style. There were 4 of us, and we had no trouble hearing each other but that might have been that we were there on the late side and there were not many other dinners. I know it can get noisy in the dining room when full. The risotto was delicious as was the salmon. The gem salad was totally fresh and dressed to perfection. I definitely recommend Julia's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining with Julia Morgandinnerfor2Dined on 10/21/2014Located in Julia Morgan's historic Berkeley City Club. The food is outstanding, ambiance quietly elegant, a la Julia. Great place to dine or just have a drink at the bar before taking in a live performance at the theater located in the same building. We just enjoyed a performance by the Hausmann Quartet (Berkeley Chamber Performances series.) Restaurant is generally quiet enough to carry on conversation but it can get noisy as sound builds and reverberates in vaulted ceilings. But that won't keep us from coming back. Looking forward to expanded menu offerings. So delicious! Compliments to the chef.Special Features:
- Great space, good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/17/2014I wanted to eat here to see and be in a space designed by Julia Morgan. The building was fantastic.

Even with high expectations coming in, they managed to impress. The service was fantastic. For example, our desire for four plates served one at a time as four courses was not only met with a smile, but they plated each up separately without us asking. We had a wine that was amazing, and not expensive. All four plates were fantastic. Well done!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/2/2014The Berkeley Club is a beautiful historical hotel. Our table was next to an open window in the dining room, which we appreciated because it was hot outside but pleasant inside. Dinner was prompt and service was excellent-friendly staff. My friend's tuna was over cooked and she expressed to the waitress that she preferred her tuna more rare. The waitress removed plate and returned later with tuna, cooked rare-excellent. I had the Risotto, which was also very good. Warm bread was brought to table before dinner was served, which we enjoyed with our wine. Service was great and we had a very pleasant evening there.Special Features:

It's an old building but the ambiance was superb. The ladies had chicken and the men had lamb chops. Both were delicious. Definitely a place that we will visit in the future simply for the food. Executive Chef Alaun Grimard definitely deserves five stars.Special Features:

My son was in town and he said he'd like to go to CPC for his birthday dinner... called, couldn't get in till 10pm. Hey, what about Julia's? What a grand surprise! Exciting to enjoy totally refined french cuisine. All the dishes we ordered from fish, steak, to vegetarian were a delight to the palette. We had just returned from France, dining in Paris and Burgundy and this was just as grand....at a fraction of the price. Go! Eat! Enjoy the Berkeley City Club and the elegant food and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- FIX THE CHAIRS - PLEASE!?GastronomyRocksDined on 8/22/2014In "hindsight", celebrating our anniversary, we had a wonderful experience with the exception of uncomfortable chairs! Our server–Jessica answered our myriad of questions with aplomb. She even had Chef Grimaud offer his recipe for the romesco sauce served with the squid appetizer. Our dishes included pungent beet salad, entrees of chicken prepared 2 ways and roasted lamb rack with its savory chimichurri sauce. My only negative was the accompanying eggplant and julienne "okay-flavored" red bell peppers were overdone for my taste. For dessert a shared dee-lish piping hot berry cobbler with a refreshing scoop of corn ice cream. The Chef was very kind to comp our dessert! Possibly because of our intended plan to FIX THE CHAIRS crusade? Enjoy!Special Features:

- Lovely for lunchTablefor2Dined on 8/13/2014I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday lunch on the terrace at Julia's recently. The Julia Morgan Berkeley City Club is an historic architectural gem, and Julia's location within such a beautiful building was a real highlight of the restaurant experience. The menu choices were inviting and seasonal, and the food was delicious with fresh ingredients and local sourcing. The waitstaff and service could not have been better - appropriate attention without being cloying or hovering, but with real concern about our comfort and enjoyment of our meal. It was very civilized to be able to talk without shouting over the din of noise found in many restaurants today! I would definitely return to enjoy the special atmosphere of Julia's again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- romantic eveningenjoyableexperiencesDined on 8/9/2014We went to Julia's for our first wedding anniversary and they knew exactly how to make it special for us! We were served complimentary champagne immediately upon being seated. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and also knew how to avoid being intrusive. The food was very good, although the menu is limited for vegetarians and for those who avoid seafood. At the end of our meal, the server brought out homemade corn ice cream for us with a candle and offered to take a picture. We had a wonderful time and we loved the atmosphere. We definitely would go back for future events. The building is also very unique and fun to walk around in.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Julia's is a Gem!BronzemanDined on 7/26/2014Julia's in the Berkeley City Club, named for the renowned California architect Julia Morgan who designed the club and over 700 other unique buildings, has transformed itself into a high-cuisine restaurant. The chef comes from a Spanish family that has been dedicated to fine food for generations. He has trained the kitchen staff and the wait staff to an impressive professional standard. The dining room, like the rest of the club, is far beyond charming. Every detail, including its decorations, was specified by Ms. Morgan, who often took long trips to Europe to find each elegant item. No other restaurant in the Bay Area can, in my opinion, offer Julia's integration of refined food, service and ambiance.Special Features:
- Hidden Gemopera4meDined on 7/24/2014After many years of mediocre food at the Berkeley City Club, Julia's is now one of the excellent restaurants in Berkeley. The atmosphere was always great but even that has been tweaked by the management. Hidden on the second floor of this lovely Julia Morgan building, Julia's shines like a beacon near the campus. It perfect for dinner before one of the numerous cultural events in Berkeley. Before a play or a concert, you will dine elegantly. The food is seasonal, fresh and delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special food, special place.CallalillyVIPDined on 7/23/2014Julia's presents top quality cuisine in a beautiful and relaxing setting. It feels like the old world, but the food is anything but tired! We had superb salads, the butter lettuce and the heirloom tomatoes--every ingredient excellent in both. The king salmon entree was cooked perfectly, absolutely fresh, and served over a fresh corn base that enhanced the salmon filet. Two fruit desserts were amazing. It was quiet on a Thursday night (which we very much appreciate), but it might get noisy when full due to the tile floors and high ceilings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
