Bakery brings popular meat pies back to Lake Square Mall
By Rosalind Jennings, CORRESPONDENT
January 26, 2011
LEESBURG — At his eatery in the Lake Square Mall, Sal Arena has brought back the popular meat pies known as pasties. Arena, 58, added them to his menu of cookies, pastries, muffins, cinnamon rolls, lunch items and coffee at the JonDé Bakery. In addition to the traditional pasty of beef, pork, potato and onion (with rutabaga optional), he has other pasty varieties such as vegetarian and chicken. The meat pies with buttery crusts were brought to Upper Michigan by miners from Cornwall, England, in the 19th century, according to historical accounts.

July 10, 2014
LEESBURG - A mini-wave of commercial development is continuing for Leesburg, bringing new businesses and major renovations of existing buildings along U.S. Highway 27 and near Lake Square Mall. "In general, the economy is improving and we are seeing more development coming into Leesburg," city spokesman Robert Sargent said.

" Developers have finished or are about to break ground on several new projects, while vacant properties are getting major makeovers and new tenants, he said.
Struggling Lake Square Mall to go on auction block
By Eloísa Ruano González, Orlando Sentinel
November 11, 2013
LEESBURG - Lake Square Mall still buzzed with shoppers when Myrna and Richard Hasman moved to the city northwest of Orlando 14 years ago. Storefronts were mostly filled and the food court was packed with hungry customers. But Lake County's only enclosed mall has been struggling for years. Still, mall lovers such as the Hasmans were shocked and saddened by word last week that the largest anchor store, Target, is closing and the mall is going up for auction. "There used to be much more activity," said Myrna Hasman, 75, after a foray with her 81-year-old husband to purchase slippers, socks and a pocketbook.

Converge Teen Centers in Lake Square Mall struggling financially
By Rosemarie Dowell, Correspondent
May 9, 2013
LEESBURG - A free faith-based center for teens in the Leesburg area is struggling financially, despite a steady and growing following from the youths it serves. Converge Teen Centers opened adjacent to Sears in the Lake Square Mall in November with the backing of 30 area churches and community service organizations eager to give teens a place to call their own, but financial support has dropped since then, said the Rev. Mike Matheny, children's and youth pastor at My Father's House in Leesburg and a founder of the center.

Lake Square Mall, once the social hub of the county for bored teenagers, is in limbo while a New York businessman who buys distressed malls tries to close a deal to buy it for the $13.6 million that he bid on auction.com for the property. Mehran Kohansieh, who also goes by Mike Kohan, wouldn't say what his specific plans are, if any, beyond trying to attract new tenants for the mall on U.S. Highway 441. But who still shops at that mall? The question isn't easily answered. In 1989, Dr. Nick Przystawski stopped by the mall when he first visited Lake County.
Leesburg utility upgrades reduce outages in Silver Lake and Lake Square Mall areas
November 7, 2013
LEESBURG - Power outages that once could take hours to fix in the vicinity of Silver Lake and Lake Square Mall are now often solved within minutes or seconds, thanks to technological improvements, city officials said. For more than a year, the city utility has been adding new equipment and burying electricity-distribution lines that had dangled from poles along the roadway in a section that includes more than 4,000 residential and commercial customers. The area runs from County Road 44 and U.S. Highway 441 close to Sleepy Hollow Road east toward County Road 473. Staff report

J.C. Penney store at Lake Square Mall a fading memory
May 9, 2014
LEESBURG — The J.C. Penney store at the Lake Square Mall is a fading memory. Two women, above, peer this week into the empty mall anchor store, which closed May 3. The outline of the store name can still be seen even though the letters have been removed. The store still has a customer service counter, below left, although there are no customers to serve. Penney's announced in January that it was shuttering 33 underperforming stores, including the one in Leesburg. That news came in the wake of word that the Target store at the mall was closing, which happened Feb. 1. The closures leave Sears and Belk as the remaining anchor stores.

New York investor completes purchase of struggling Lake Square Mall for $13.28 million

March 27, 2014
LEESBURG — A New York investor who specializes in trying to revitalize distressed and aging malls has completed the purchase of the struggling Lake Square Mall for $13.28 million, records show. The mall was acquired by Mehran Kohansieh, who also goes by Mike Kohan or Mike Kohen. He now owns 14 malls in the U.S., including two others in Florida, according to his website. One of his most immediate challenges is to find a new tenant for the space J.C. Penney will vacate in early May. Another anchor store, Target, closed Feb. 1 but was not part of the sale.

LEESBURG - It's the end of an era that started with a sendoff from a soap-opera star. The Target store at the Lake Square Mall opened March 15, 1992, with a guest appearance by Scott Thompson Baker, who played Dr. Craig Lawson on TV's "All My Children. " It will close Saturday, a month and a half shy of its 22nd anniversary - and far short of the 41-year run of "All My Children" on ABC. (The soap lives on the Internet through the Online Network). Hours for these final days are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eligible employees were offered the opportunity to transfer to nearbyTargets.

Leesburg's Lake Square Mall sold at auction for $13.6M
By Eloísa Ruano González, Orlando Sentinel
November 21, 2013
A lucky bidder snatched up the Lake Square Mall for less than what New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, paid for their three-bedroom condo in New York City. The struggling mall sold for $13.6 million, said Jon Murchinson, spokesman for Auction.com. That's $400,000 less than what Brady and his wife reportedly paid for their home. Murchinson would not say who purchased the property. However, he expects the buyer will close on the property within a month or so. The three-day online auction wrapped up Thursday.

She said the company decided to close the store "after careful consideration of the financial performance and potential of this specific location.

place to be, Lake Square Mall faces a shaky future
Lauren Ritchie and COMMENTARY
January 22, 2014
The future of the Lake Square Mall seems pretty shaky at the moment. The mall, which opened in 1980 during the heyday of enclosed shopping, soon will be losing two of its four big anchor stores: Target is closing on Feb. 1 and J.C. Penney will shut its doors in May, leaving only Sears and Belk. After owning the mall for only a year, California-based Macerich auctioned it for $13.6 million. That prompted local leaders to speculate that the buyer may put some cash into the declining shopping venue to revive it. However, the deal hasn't closed yet, creating an aura of suspense.
Looming J.C. Penney closing another blow to struggling Lake Square Mall
By Jerry Fallstrom, Orlando Sentinel
January 16, 2014
LEESBURG - The announcement that the J.C. Penney store at Lake Square Mall will close is another blow to the struggling shopping center where its largest anchor store, Target, is due to close Feb. 1. When Penney's closes in early May, Sears and Belk will be the only remaining anchor stores at the mall, which opened in 1980 and for years was a Lake County hotspot. But in recent years it has fought to compete with shopping centers that have sprouted in Eustis, Mount Dora and Tavares, plus a surge of commercial activity at The Villages mega-retirement community.

99% vegan, not working towards 100%.
No longer on the Board of Directors but still a member. It's a worthwhile charity to support, since no other charities seem to be educating us about the impacts of food choices on the environment.
I love meeting people with great stories to share and sharing tips on restaurants and recipes.
Hard to generalize once a group gets above a thousand people! I especially like that this group is welcoming to non-vegetarians. We all have an awareness that our food choices impact the planet and wanting to shift to more plant based foods more often unites us. New people have sometimes felt uncomfortable seeing that the people who attend our events are all long time good friends when in fact the people they were seeing were mostly strangers! It's just that kind of group--people make friends fast because we tend to have a lot in common.

$33m research facility to focus on biosecurity
Biosecurity research will be the focus of a new $33 million research facility officially opened today at Gatton, west of Brisbane.
The Centre for Advanced Animal Science at the University of Queensland's Gatton campus is the result of a collaboration between the university and the State Government.
UQ Vice Chancellor Paul Greenfield says some of the country's best scientists will be working on projects to prevent and fight diseases affecting the agricultural industry like the Hendra virus and equine influenza.
"I think biosecurity has grown due to a whole series of world events, but certainly I think those two events have shown just how we're not immune from those issues and how we need capability and this facility provides that capability," he said.
"Now these facilities will allow research into how these things can be prevented and if they do occur how they can be minimised."

Most Helpful Guy
I was in a similar situation as you, We were together for 3 years then she came back, now she left again. Its really hard and I don't know what to tell you. What I told myself is that you know what if you are meant for each other you'll find each other again, if not then this is the best thing that could happen although it doesn't feel that way. You have to be careful and not be the girl who will be there when he is done dating around, it de-values you. YOu just have to go out there and try to move on and the best way to do that is try new guys. YOu might see there is something better out there. Or at least he will see you with another guy and that might knock his head, that you are wanted out there and if he wants you, he better come back because some other guy is in his place. I was in the same situation as you are, I wanted to marry my ex, but know we broke up had some time apart, I met another girl, that I have a huge crush on whom I'm trying to persue and she makes me smile, makes me happy and makes me feel things that I never felt with my ex. This might be the best thing just take advantage and if you guys are meant to be you will get together again. Feel free to talk to me or ask questions. Happy new year.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - NFL teams will spend this week's annual scouting combine trying to get answers out of college prospects.
They will need to tread carefully.
A year ago, three players contended they were awkwardly asked about topics that seemed to reference sexual orientation. Two weeks ago, Missouri defensive end Michael Sam and NFL hopeful publicly announced he was gay.
Questions are sure to be a hot topic this week in Indianapolis.
"A lot of people want to know what the rules are and whether they're different in the NFL, and they're really not," said Camille Olson, an attorney with the discrimination litigation practice group of Seyfarth Shaw. "It's pretty clear, it's black-letter law. An employer is not able to take into consideration for any employment purpose someone's sexual orientation. If the answer is, 'Locker rooms are different,' you still can't ask questions on that topic."
The NFL has reiterated that point after college tight end Nick Kasa claimed that one team asked him if he "liked girls" during last year's combine. Within a week, running back Le'Veon Bell and receiver Denard Robinson said they were asked similar questions. All three were drafted.
League officials responded with an investigation but found there was no violation of either federal or state laws or of NFL protocol.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press last week in an email that the league has sent a memo to all teams reminding them of those standards.
Personal questions, like the ones Kasa, Bell and Robinson were asked, could take on new significance now as Sam attempts to become the first openly gay player in the NFL. Publicly, Sam has received widespread support, from his former teammates and coaches to President Obama.
Longtime NFL executive Bill Polian doesn't believe Sam's announcement should change a thing in the eyes of league scouts and decision makers.
"I've always taken the position that a person's sexual orientation is none of my business," said Polian, architect of the Colts' Super Bowl team and the Bills' four straight AFC championship teams. "We always had a position (with the Colts) that a player has familial obligations, so it would be reasonable to ask do you have a steady partner, do you have any children or siblings that you have to support. Those are perfectly legitimate questions to find out what the guy's facing in terms of his obligations. But a person's sexual orientation is none of my business, and I always made it clear to everyone we had, it was none of their business, either."
Olson said she considers questions about familial obligations to be inappropriate but not necessarily illegal.
Still, some wonder how Sam, the reigning SEC defensive player of the year, would be treated in NFL locker rooms and whether teams may try to get those answers this week, especially in light of how things reportedly played out in the Dolphins locker room between Jonathan Martin and his teammates last year.
Any team that takes Sam in May's draft will be under a white-hot spotlight.
Polian, now an ESPN analyst, said that's something Sam and his team must be prepared for.

Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase is already deep into preparations for the Oakland Raiders.
Every Thursday the Bears typically make the next-game's starting quarterback available via press conference.
The Antrel Rolle Show is off and running, and despite the Bears' 0-3 record the safety is optimistic about his team finding an identity and starting quickly this week against the Raiders.
Surprise, surprise! Fantasy sports are having a moment.
In poker, chess and certain other endeavors, you don't so much play the cards or the board, as play the man. In the NFL coaching fraternity, maybe it's a little bit of both.

Applications of 2 Kinds of Clipping Masks-Playing Hide and Seek with Pixels!
One can play hide and seek with digital images- By applying two kinds of clipping masks. This way, even if a photo has unnecessary elements they can remain hidden. Reintroducing the layering masks and the clipping masks.
Even for an experienced artist the learning process is always on. So here is a lesson for them too, even if they have used it themselves at some point for a client. The process is barely 10 minutes and if you are game…let's get on with the hide and seek. To understand the way it works, let is redefine what masking is and what are the 2 kinds of clipping masks that can be useful. A mask handles the pixels of an image (just like the skeletal frame/scaffolding of a building). The larger the number of pixels, the more definite masking can be done via layers. The masking controls the layers of pixels. This could be clear, transparent or opaque. When the mask works actively it makes the pixels transparent. And the opposite happens when it is not active. The pixels remain opaque or cloudy depending on the layers. The mask also is activated in varying degrees and is apparent from the clarity or opacity of the image. It gives different degrees of transparencies. This is one of the most effective Photoshop tools that can be useful in making images more powerful and visually stunning. Any digital artist will try to use the mind bending creativity to produce such results.
For an example, try to create a document with as many as 5000 pixels. Even if it sounds boring to the advanced users, it might just help in honing the skills. One is layer masking and the other is the clipping mask. Both can be used with each other or even separately. Either way it enhances the image. When using the layer mask it is used one at a time-one-on-one. Simply said, it is one layer and one mask only. Advanced users do know that multiple layer masks can be applied too. But even then each mask and layer is single sheets applied as copies. Apart from stacking as layers (like thin cheese layers!) they cannot be exploited otherwise. They are able to manage the transparency and opacity of one layer at a time. A layer mask can be created by clicking on the layer palette. Use the mask button to make a new mask. With the use of active application the selected pixels are visible. The unselected ones are transparent. The transparency occurs in varying degrees. A black and white layer mask can be created besides the image that needs to be worked on. If working on a PC use ctrl+click or shift-click for a new selection on the mask. The mask can be turned on or off. With alt+click one can even toggle the application. Edit the mask as required after preview.
The other kind i.e 'clipping masks are multi-purpose. Many layer effects can be produced with this feature. If the layer mask is a mere modification, this one is capable of interacting with many layers. It is not one-on-one in nature. This may be a little more tedious to work on.
There is a third kind of layering mask in Adobe. This is also another artwork that advanced users can employ. It uses a vector shape to define the area. This acts like a window frame. Everything outside is invisible and the inside a visible. Seek, and you shall find!

Berkeley rental rates skyrocket, causing headaches for students and those on middle incomes
This is the second in a Berkeleyside series on housing. Read our first story on short term rentals.
The heated economy has pushed Berkeley rental rates significantly higher this past year, a jump of anywhere from 10% to 30.9%, depending on which study you look at, forcing some students to double and triple up in mini-dorm-like situations, and middle-class workers to stretch to meet their rents.
At the same time, technology workers and those in finance or other well-paying professions are snapping up luxury apartments that can cost from $2,500 a month for a studio to $5,400 for a three-bedroom, two-bath pad.
"The problem is that we are an extremely desirable community," said Mayor Tom Bates. "With high rents in San Francisco a lot of people choose to be here. As a consequence we have huge demand." … Continue reading »

Short-term rentals are squeezing out Berkeley renters
This is the first story in a Berkeleyside series on housing. Read the second story on rental rate increases here.
In late January, Daniel Moore came home to his apartment in a 12-unit complex on College Avenue to find there was a new keypad lock on the front gate.
Moore, who had been living at 3100 College for 12 years, didn't have the combination to the keypad. He was locked out of his own building.
That was just the first of a series of mysterious changes to the apartment complex, alterations that his landlords never told him about. Suddenly, washer and dryer units were installed on every landing. New couches appeared in the hallways.
Then Moore started hearing loud noises from the unit above him. It appeared as if a family of five had moved in suddenly and the kids were stomping on the new stone kitchen floor. That family moved out, but was replaced by others, people who stayed up until 3 a.m.
It turns out that three units in Moore's rent-controlled building had been converted into short-term rentals through online rental company Airbnb.
"Airbnb has replaced our quiet environment with noise, anxiety and the nuisance of a steady flow of transients who have no investment in living here," Moore wrote in a letter he sent to the City Council and the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board." … Continue reading »
Rent Board commissioner Alejandro Soto-Vigil challenges 22-year incumbent Linda Maio in Berkeley's District 1
Alejandro Soto-Vigil, city Rent Board commissioner and aide to Councilman Kriss Worthington, has filed to run for Berkeley City Council in District 1. He is the sole challenger to incumbent Linda Maio, who has occupied the seat since 1992.
Soto-Vigil said he is running to burst what he calls the "bubble" of the current council.
"I think I could take the bubble out, and bridge people who are on the ground to council," said Soto-Vigil, who grew up in Richmond and graduated from UC Berkeley and the UDC David A. Clarke School of Law in Washington, D.C. "I want to know what the pulse is of the people." … Continue reading »

Is the tech boom putting pressure on Berkeley rents?
Artist Leigh Wells still hasn't gotten accustomed to the constant noise from the trains that run right behind her West Berkeley live-work space. And she tries not to think about the toxic emissions from the neighboring steel manufacturing plant. In fact, if it weren't for the affordable rent, and the close-knit artist community at the 1450 Fourth St. complex, she'd never dream of living there.
But when the rent in a unit in Wells' building went for $300 a month above asking price — and her own rent was given a $450 hike — she quickly realized that times are changing. … Continue reading »
Sid Lakireddy sues rent board candidates for libel
The nephew of a notorious landlord who was sent to prison for transporting minors from India for the purpose of illegal sexual activity has filed a defamation lawsuit against four former Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board candidates.
Sid Lakireddy, president of the Berkeley Property Owners Association, said that Igor Tregub, Alejandro Soto-Vigil, Asa Dodsworth and Judy Shelton libeled him when they sent an email to supporters that overtly suggested Lakireddy was involved in the criminal case brought against his uncle, Lakireddy Bali Reddy. … Continue reading »

Op-Ed: Rent Board Commissioner Tregub: 'More work to do'
Rent Board Commissioner Igor Tregub delivered this farewell address to a November board meeting:
It's difficult for me to evoke my feelings about the orderly transition of policy-making authority that I am about to pass on. Some transitions can be planned for over the course of months or even years; in my case, I had less than two weeks to take the projects I planned to undertake and pass them off to the next board. As unexpected as this shift … Continue reading »
Board candidate accuses Capitelli aide of trespassing
A candidate for the Berkeley Rent Board, who is also an aide to City Councilman Kriss Worthington, filed a police complaint Monday charging that the aide to City Councilman Laurie Capitelli trespassed on his property.
Alejandro Soto-Vigil said that his wife saw Capitelli's aide and campaign manager, Pamela Gray, walk onto his property on Berkeley Way around 3:20 p.m. to look at a recycling bin that was stuffed with campaign signs.
"Pam apparently had gone onto our doorstep and porch looking at things and then she went to the recycling area and pulled out some signs and started taking photos," said Soto-Vigil.
Capitelli told Berkeleyside that he and Gray were delivering campaign material to Soto-Vigil's neighbor when they saw that the recycling bin contained campaign signs. Since so many of Capitelli's signs have been torn up or taken during the election, he wanted to see if any of them were in there. They were not. … Continue reading »
Two slates fight for seats on Berkeley's Rent Board
A June 2012 grand jury report that slams the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board is at the center of the two-slate race for four seats on the board that oversees the city's rent control law.
Berkeley Tenants United for Fairness, TUFF, joined forces over support for the report's conclusions that the board "lacks oversight and accountability," and that it's up to Berkeley voters to "change the direction of the BRSB."
The Tenant Convention Slate, TCS, chosen by a nominating convention in July, blasts the report, saying it "relies on inaccuracies, half-truths and innuendo," and is based on policy concerns rather than evaluating the board's implementation of the rent control law. … Continue reading »
Rent Board makes minor changes after critical report
In response to a critical report by the Alameda County Grand Jury, the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board will commission an outside expert to review the appropriateness of the program's workload and staffing.
And while the board will not consider reducing the director's $183,000 salary, it will conduct an annual assessment of his performance in addition to the full-scale review it now does every three years.
Despite agreeing to those changes, the Rent Stabilization Board took issue with the tone and conclusions of the Grand Jury Report, which was released in June and stated the board was a "self-sustaining bureaucracy that operates without effective oversight and accountability." … Continue reading »
Sunshine committee decries 'unfair' ballot
The citizen committee behind the Berkeley Sunshine Ordinance on the November ballot has sent city officials a lawyer's letter threatening a lawsuit unless changes are made to the wording of both the ballot question and the city attorney's published analysis.
The proposed Sunshine Ordinance establishes new meeting and agenda requirements for the Berkeley City Council, the Rent Stabilization Board and the city's many commissions. It also creates increased disclosure requirements and creates a new Sunshine Commission to monitor and enforce the ordinance. Among the issues in contention between the current wording and the committee's desires is whether the cost — estimated by the city at $1.5 million annually — can or should be included, and whether the new commission's authority to sue the city should be specified in the ballot question.
Bradley Hertz at The Sutton Law Firm writes, "In order to avoid litigation, we demand that the ballot question and City Attorney's Analysis be amended forthwith to cure the fatal flaws that now exist." … Continue reading »
Grand Jury criticizes Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board
A highly critical report by the Alameda County Grand Jury has found that the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board is a "self-sustaining bureaucracy that operates without effective oversight and accountability."
This rent board pays Jay Kelekian, its director, $183,000 a year to oversee a $4 million budget and manage just 21 employees – which is more than the city Berkeley pays its director of public works, who oversees 326 employees and has a $90 million annual budget, according to the report.
"The executive director makes an exorbitant salary that comprises nearly 5% of the entire budget of the agency," according to the report. "The Grand Jury finds this unacceptable and concludes the board needs to reprioritize services and to reduce costs, not only in its administration but in services to the citizens of Berkeley." … Continue reading »

Two Reviews, Six Novels You Need to Know About
I've been very busy lately reviewing books. This is because people send me books to review, so I read and review them. Anything else seems impolite.
Still, I have one rule about reviewing: If I don't like a book, I don't review it. This is partly because of the aforementioned polite thing, but there is also some logic to it. There have been about a thousand books published during the time it took me to write this sentence. If I don't like a book, I don't want you to know about it. I'd rather your bandwidth were taken up by books I'd like you to read, or at least by books that I would not not like you to read. Why would I bring a book I don't like to your attention? The current state of publishing takes care of bad reviews for us.
With that in mind, I've had a couple of reviews published online in the past week or three. First, my 2014 rock novel omnibus review was published at
The Rumpus
. I worked on this piece for the better part of a year. Names like D'Erasmo and Doyle are bandied about.
Check it out
Also, my review of Patrick O'Neil's
Gun, Needle, Spoon
came out a little while ago at
. Good stuffs.
To be clear, I do not, in these reviews, avoid stating what I don't like about these books. Any perusal of the links above will show that much. But if I'm reviewing it, there is something about it worth your attention to my mind.
That being said, feel free to
judge my judging
for yourself

The readings themselves will be short, engaging, and the perfect accompaniment to your

The Ten Reasons Why I'm Turning my Refreshments Memoir into a Novel
I have decided to turn my memoir-in-progress
Nineteen Ways to Destroy Your Rock Band: My Life in the Refreshments
into a novel. There are exactly ten reasons for this change.
Reason #1:
Despite a few hundred folks within my circle, there is not much demand for a Refreshments memoir. I know this because I have tried to sell it. Many in the industry love the idea for my memoir
the Refreshments aspect, which they don't care for because we weren't the Beatles. Solution? Take the Refreshments out.
Reason #2:
The finished, polished memoir is all of 48k. This is too small. The process of fictionalizing it has freed me up to explore ideas I would avoid if it were a memoir, which means I can get this thing to 60k, which is where it needs to be. No more novellas ever.
Reason #3:
I'm very intrigued by the recent-ish trend in fiction to write more or less straight memoir a la Knausgaard, Tao Lin, David Shields, etc. as novel. I call this Barely Fiction. It used to be you'd write fiction to embellish an idea. Now, many write fiction when they want to tell the truth. This is complicated, but it excites me as a writer.
Reason #4
This means I can have a novel finished by next year!
Reason #5:
It also means I can give
One Star
--what would become my fifth novel--the time necessary to make it wham-o.
Reason #6:
I've always had a problem with being a little ahead of the curve when it comes to, ahem, market readiness. I released
Stuck Outside of Phoenix
, set in 1990, in 2003. My second,
Ghost Notes
, set in 1995, was released in 2008. My third,
, set in 2000, came out in 2014. That's really too soon on all three accounts for enough people to feel nostalgia for these eras. This change would put my Barely Fiction effort, set 1993-1998, out in 2017-18, and would have
One Star
, set in 2005, out in the 2020s. This all makes more sense to me.
Reason #7:
Everyone reads my novels like they're memoirs anyway!
Reason #8:
It allows me to skip the baggage of having to write about real people, giving me just enough cover to make the book more interesting.
Reason #9:
Did I already mention that no one wants to publish the memoir?
Reason #10:
I'll take truth over fact any day.

What I'm Up To: Part I
As we patiently wait for Netflix and Satan (Amazon) to add
Stuck Outside of Phoenix the Movie
, I thought I'd string together a blog or three about what I'm writing these days.
First, I'm very close to finishing the screenplay version of
Ghost Notes
, which is now called
. I've been working on this off and on for years, and I finally feel like it's ready. I'll be putting the finishing touches on it in the next week, and sending it out to the folks who might be able to do something with it. If you're curious, the way forward is to read
Ghost Notes
, my second novel in the great chain of novels that will become ten.
Also, I'm taking a chapter a week of my novel-in-progress
One Star
into my writers' group The Whom. (We changed our name to The Whom on a whim, and no one bothered to protest. Incidentally, The Whom members
Rebecca Kelley
Heather Arndt-Anderson
both have had books come out in the last few weeks. This group gets it done, and it's all good.)
One Star
brings back Hote from
Stuck Outside of Phoenix
as he navigates the world of tribute bands in 2005. Don't expect this anytime soon, but know it's coming.
I have a five-book omnibus review on 2014 rock novels coming out soon at
The Rumpus
, and I also wrote a 6,000 word essay on my youth and R.E.M. that has got to find a home somewhere. I'll keep you posted.
Finally, I haven't mentioned my memoir
Nineteen Ways to Destroy Your Rock Band: My Life in the Refreshments
. Its plight is a bit of a longer story, so I'm going to write up that blog next week for you.

The Rules of Your Novel
I never post Internet-y pieces anymore, but let's change that with this one about the making of
"No more Woody Allens ever," I declared. No, I wasn't trying to rid the world of accused sex offenders. I was making the rules for my third novel.
For simplicity's sake, I'd reduced the number of possible male protagonists to two. First, there are the Woody Allens: nervous, over-read, over-thinking, probably-very-skinny guys who second- and third- and fifth-guess every move they make. Woody Allens can't do anything as simple as go to the grocery store without wondering, Is the store open? Do I have enough money? Will it be crowded? Will the milk spoil before I drink it? Then on the way home, Did I spent too much money? Was the checkout clerk hitting on me? What does it all mean?
The second type in this far-too-limited-but-still-somehow-useful-to-me paradigm are the Clint Eastwoods. These are characters who operate from simple, manly codes and don't stop to think about what they're doing before they do it. A Clint Eastwood goes to the grocery store, munches on a tomato while strolling the aisles, punches a customer who looks askance at him, and beds the checkout clerk. Both of my first two novels featured a protagonist who takes days to do something as simple as get out of town. For my third novel, the main character would be a Clint Eastwood and not a Woody Allen.
I set off writing about Badge, an aging rock guitarist and recovering alcoholic who fistfights, plays the ladies and gets in innumerable conflicts because of it. Being a ruminative guy myself didn't help my Clint Eastwood-making tendencies—Is this line going to offend someone? Is that face pummeling okay? What's my mom going to think?—but I fought against the tyranny of my own better instincts. I wasn't trying to create a character who wins good citizenship awards; I was trying to create a compelling one. Badge didn't give a damn, and neither should I.
I spent a few years getting
in shape, and in 2009 I passed the novel on to its first beta reader, my friend Andy, a bushy-bearded potter in his sixties. Andy and his wife Gina were both big fans of both my first novel
Stuck Outside of Phoenix
and my second
Ghost Notes
. Andy was excited to read it, and the pair seemed like the perfect candidates to try out
early on. About a month later, I met Andy to discuss the work.
"It was . . . interesting," he said, handing the manuscript back to me.
"Great," I said, picking up he didn't like it at all. "Did anything jump out at you that you thought needed work?"
"Well, there was one thing. Not me, of course. Gina mentioned that … you know … the curse words could be toned down."
This surprised me. As much as
drank and fought and fucked, I'd never thought his language would rub anyone the wrong way. I didn't remember monitoring swear words in my earlier novels. I write about rock musicians. Can you imagine Keith Richards saying "shucks" and "golly"?
I ignored the specific criticism, but I couldn't get past the broader, vaguer one that Gina and Andy, loyal readers of my work, didn't embrace
. I resolved to give the novel more attention, and to get more opinions. I gave it a complete revision and joined a writers' group, submitting a chapter of
each week.
The group was led by published author Karen Karbo and consisted of ten or so people I didn't know—mostly women ranging in age from forty to sixty. These folks had no problem with Badge's language, but they pointed out many specific problems with the story and its characters. "Is this the same singer who was in Chapter Two? She was sassy then and seems docile now." "The end of Part One is too early for them to jump in the sack. Can you stretch out that tension longer?" "Badge's ex-wife falls a little flat. Can you give her some attritute?" Some expressed mixed feelings about Badge himself. He was a unlikable at times, maybe misogynistic. All this was exhilarating and frustrating. At one point, sick the criticism, I blurted, "They're just words," which led a fellow member to say, "Did you just say, 'They're just words'?" Her point was clear. Words are the whole game.
It became important at this point to explore my own feelings about Badge, which as a Woody Allen type wasn't hard at all. Did I like him? I certainly empathized with him, an older guitarist struggling to keep his music dreams alive while staying sober and remaining present in the life of his ten-year-old son. Still, I knew Badge crossed some lines of appropriateness, especially when it came to his relationships with women. At one point, he suggests that his girlfriend had to stay in line or she'd see the back of his hand, going so far as to clap loudly, startling her. He leaves his son behind in Albuquerque while he tours the country in a rock band. There are scenes where Badge and other musicians chat about the backsides of famous female singers. I reminded myself that many great novels violate moral codes—
Lolita; The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; Rabbit, Run
. Was Badge too rough to be a good protagonist, or were my readers squeamish? In the end, I felt Badge might not be for everyone, but he wasn't going to become a Woody Allen on my watch.
In late 2010 I started submitting
to agents and editors. Some expressed interest, but ultimately no one wanted to take on the novel. One agent, with whom I'd built some rapport over the past decade, specifically didn't like Badge, calling him a controlling "Henry Higgins type." None of the other agents seemed impressed with him either. Was I wasting my time trying to publish a novel with a jerk for a protagonist?
I joined another writers' group and after a few months passed
around to three members. I bought pizza one night and the four of us discussed the novel.
I guess I wasn't surprised when two of them found Badge unsympathetic. One wrote "You lost me here" in the margins when Badge was being particularly domineering with his love interest. Another didn't like Badge's attempts to manipulate the woman who was going to have his baby. My Clint Eastwood was coming off like Don Draper without the charm. It was time for a change.
Without altering the plot, I toned down some of Badge's more controlling moments. As his love interest moves away from him for another man, I made him less angry and more awestruck. I made him less controlling with the woman having his baby, and I modified his more edgy rhetoric. I saw all this as bending my "no Woody Allens" rule without breaking it, a tip of the cap toward empathy without (hopefully) losing the soul of the novel.
Again I submitted
to agents and editors, and I received no offers. Out of ideas, I hired Karen Karbo to give
one more read-through. Karen had always liked
, and had given me good feedback on the novel in her group. I passed it on to her, and we met to discuss it.
Karen still liked much of
, especially some of the description of what it's like when Badge plays concerts. She offered good ideas for moving sections around, simplifying scenes, deleting others that slowed the novel down. She understood that Badge was supposed to be a Clint Eastwood type, and didn't mind his rougher edges. It was reaffirming to know I wasn't alone in liking him, but I couldn't deny the mountain of paper- and cyber-rejection I continued to pile up from submitting the novel. Something was still wrong with him.
At this point I started thinking about Badge's parents. I'd stayed far away from mentioning them in the novel—nobody cared about a Clint Eastwood's parents—but my character needed a new dimension. I knew all about Badge's parents; I'd written pages and pages of back story to familiarize myself with his past. Bringing up mommy and daddy issues smacked of Woody Allen, but I ignored my reservations and got to work planting mentions of his parents in the novel. I referenced their breakup when Badge was eight, his father's drunkenness, his mother's support of his musical ambition. I even started the novel with a scene from the night his mom throws his dad out of the house, showing Badge, headphones on, disappearing into the music while they screamed in the other room. All of a sudden, it was clear why music meant so much to him—escape, protection—and why keeping it an integral part of his life well into adulthood was so important to him. My "No Woody Allens" rule had served me well enough for most of the seven years of writing
, but by this time sprinkling in some very non-Clint Eastwood elements made Badge come to life more than ever.
For the novelist, there's nothing like a blanket rule to serve as a useful guide, or as a kind of motivation to get the words down. Still, there may come a time when those rules need to be tossed out for the sake of the story. In the end, we make the rules, so we can break them.

I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group (Minneapolis, MN) in March 2015.
Getting a job at United Health Group is a long process, but it can be done, so if you're interested in working here, don't give up. I applied online to a ton of open positions - they have dozens of open project management positions at any given time. For one of these positions, I received an email from UHG recruiting inviting me to a digital interview (this email went to my spam folder in Gmail, so CHECK THE SPAM!!!). Upon receipt of the email, you have 48 hours to complete the interview. The digital interview is awkward. I'm lucky enough in that I have a new desktop Mac with a webcam. This whole process would be tough to do on a tablet or smartphone. I thought I royally screwed the digital interview up, as I stumbled on my answers and didn't think I was articulate enough. It's very awkward talking to yourself. Keep in mind though, most of the other candidates also think it's awkward, so if you blunder through some of the questions, don't fret too much. And SMILE! The questions are pretty easy -- very basic interview questions ("Tell me why you want to work here" "describe one of the projects you managed") and there's only 5 of them but again, it's awkward! Make sure you dress up (I work my suit) and be mindful of any background clutter. Apparently they liked me enough to proceed to the next round. The next round consisted of two phone interviews -- one with HR and one with the hiring manager. My hiring manager was located across the country, so there would be no in-person with her. The hiring manager didn't ask me any silly interview questions - it was just a conversation about my skills. Again, I thought I bombed it, but I must've done well, as about a week and a half later, I was invited for an in-person interview with two team members. The in-person was a breeze. It didn't seem like an interview. I just had a conversation with two team members on-site, about what I'd be working on when I initially start the role. I knew I had the job when I left, as one of the team members said he would start the process with HR that afternoon. The next day, I had an offer from the UHG recruiter by phone. They make an offer, and THEN they do the paperwork after you accept -- it's background check by an outside firm and a drug test (pee in a cup). All in all, this whole process took about 2.5-3 months, from initial online app to my start date. It's a long process, but it's a huge company and if you want to work here, keep applying.

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group (Morrisville, NC) in August 2015.

Did the face to face interview on Aug 3 and received a call 2 days later that i was offered unemployment contingent on background and drug testing. received an email to login in to my profile and consent to background. A day later i received another email to schedule drug test and it MUST be done with 2 business days. I start Aug 24, 15-week training class, base pay is 13.46 a an hour. I am so glad they called me back this was the main job i was hoping for !! Glad i did not lose hope. Training is m-f 8-5. After training your schedule could be anytime between 8am-8pm and no weekends or holidays !! Before the interview i would definitely go to their website and look up the history and what the company is all about, they are big on culture, diversity and helping people live a healthier life. You can also chat online with recruiters to get tips and advice about the interview process.

She was personable and open to my questions. This particular position is filled on a revolving basis as a senior level consultant. At the end of the interview she told me I was a good candidate and she would refer me for an interview with the hiring manager. Because it's a standing position, that will happen on an as needed basis. I appreciated the immediate feedback on how the process works, and how my qualifications matched up.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group.
I was chosen among 30 candidates and I had one interview with the recruiter and the second with three people (manager, associate director, senior director) which lasted for 1 hour and 30 min. I was hired over the phone and had to take an exam (stats, math, and SAS programming).

- Declined OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult Interview
The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group (Gilbert, AZ).
Company now uses 'Hirevue' which is a one way video of you answering questions every 2 1/2 minutes (I had 7). Since it is one way with no interaction any correction to tone of voice, volume, cadence, etc. w/o feedback is impossible. Also body language is one way so if you are expected to look w/o blinking into the eye of a brightly lit camera lens for two minutes then you will fail. All in all this is a very low budget approach that only someone in HR could love. Unless you are connected to a hiring manager who can look past this impersonal part of the process you are probably in trouble.

I applied online. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group (Sugar Land, TX).
Process took about 1 month and a half . I took the online assessment and 2 days after , got a call from a recruiter to schedule a phone interview . The phone interview consisted of questions regarding work history as well as behavioral questions . There were also questions regarding if there were any metrics you had to reach in each of the jobs you've had . After the end of the phone interview , the recruiter scheduled me for a face to face interview the next day. That interview was a lot less stressful since the interviewer was very calm and nice . He went over the company's values and also what the duties are for the position as well as a couple of behavioral questions . He said that the hiring process is quicker now so I should hear a response back by the end of the week. Sure enough, I got a call from a recruiter giving me a conditional offer meaning that I would have to pass the background screening as well as the drug testing to finally be an employee . I accepted and they sent me 2 links ; one of them to update my profile and consent to have my background check and the other detailing the offer as well as other policies of the company . 2 days later , I received 2 emails for the drug screening and it gives you 2 business days to complete it .

<I'm not wrong. At all. Not everyone pays attention to tweets and domain registrations. Most people just looked at the site.
"A CGI shot of planets in space? Well, considering that the only game like this from SE is Star Ocean, it's probably a Star Ocean game!""Oh look, it even has "Star" on the side!""Oh look, there's a countdown clock. This must be an announcement for something big, like a new console Star Ocean game!"
It's not unreasonable nor stupid for someone to think that this would be Star Ocean 5. Stop being a blind sheep, it's sickening.
I don't get it. I've posted only 3 reviews on this site. Once it was to get XIII's 6.9 to a 7.0 but that didn't work out.
