Encouraging walking: the social and economic case
Increasing daily physical activity is a key part of tackling the obesity crisis.
Walking or riding a bike to school used to be the norm, now it's more unusual.
This is of course leading to weight and fitness problems in children - they're simply not burning sufficient calories.
Not to mention traffic congestion, global warming and children without independence or road sense.
But what's happened within a generation to change this daily habit so dramatically?

Basketball isnt really my thing but i wanted to try and watch it and then all of a sudden, i felt like playing basketball. And we had basketball for PE which was great.

At first I thought it was intriguing, but as it went on I found it to be incredibly repetitive. At some point the show just became incredibly bland because of the lead character and the one-dimensional nature of the plot.

The first season is the best, as it hooked me with promises of good characters, interesting basketball games, and decent animation.
Pros: Good animation, likable characters, and fun sports.
Cons: Really bad plot. The main character is praised for being "invisible" on and off the court. In fact, the ONLY thing he is ...
SPORTS ANIME. YES!!!I have a thing for sports anime, so I watched KnB, Free! and Haikyuu. I love how these shows have a running theme of victory, friendship and happiness - it just makes me feel so happy! I mean, it also makes me want to exercise, and then I remember that it's more fun to watch the Generation of Miracles do all that stuff.Read more

2 out of 3 people found this review helpful:1st Season is the BestI love the mix of personalities, teamwork, and competition in this sports anime. It had just the right amount of humor and story-pacing too. This series hits those notes well. Well, the FIRST season does at least.Read more
The second season would be perfect except for one thing: the games are taking too long. Seriously, basketball has 48 minutes of actual game play and yet they're devoting 5+ episodes ...
Quickly Topping My Favourites ListI'm a big fan of basketball, but I'm not a big fan of sports anime. I was hesitant to give this a shot, but my best friend got me to watch the first few episodes and I was hooked. And, no, you don't need to care or understand basketball to watch this, though I find it does help. I end up screaming at the screen just like I do during real NBA games, hahaha.Read more

Dear blog friends,
I am taking a blogging break until mid-October. I know that it looks like I already took a break, but my husband and I were visiting family in India, and we didn't have regular access to the Internet for a few weeks. I didn't have time to write, either, so now I am working again on the rewrite of my mystery, and I have a deadline to meet. Please come back in mid-October, when I'll be blogging again (and visiting your blogs as well).
Thanks for your understanding, and I look forward to reconnecting in four weeks.
Happy blogging, and happy writing. Ciao for now, Elizabeth.

|The main entrance of
Se Cathedral
Braga is a city of churches, given its long history as the the religious capital of Portugal. But you see the interweaving of Roman and Baroque in many of the churches, and also many of the mansions and museums. One example is the old Archbishop's Palace, where the Jardim de Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara Garden) is nestled in a back square of the former palace.
|You can see how the word "Palace"
applies here.

Back to the churches: You could call Braga a city of churches. As the religious capital of Portugal, there are over thirty-to-thirty-five churches, in addition to the Sé Cathedral, and all quite distinctive. There is Igreja dos Congregados on the one side of Avenida Central bordering Praça República (Republican Square (two views below).
|Seen from the Arcada, which fronts
one end of Republican Square.
|Seen from across the triangular park
that starts at the Arcade and ends in
Largo Senhora Branca.
There were other churches of note: Bon Jesus, four miles out of town, up in the hills, which we did see last fall while attending a photography exhibit. (Our pictures were mainly of the exhibit, but here is a plaque on one wall.) A small, baroque church on a street behind the Arcade, Igreja da Terceira Ordem Regular de São Francisco (Church of the Third Regular Order of Saint Francis). And inside the arcade is a small church, Igreja Paroquial de Nossa Senhora da Lapa (Our Lady of Lapa).
|If you look closely, you'll
see more beautiful Azulejos.
Then there were the museums. I'll concentrate on two that captured our attention. On our first trip, we went to the Museu da Imagem - The Image Museum, that specializes in photography exhibits. I had read of this museum in a travel article posted in the Huffington Post and was particularly interested, because my husband does black-and-white photography. Online, we made friends with the director, Rui Prata, and when we visited, we got acquainted with him and this beautiful museum. It's partly housed in an old tower of the original castle and an adjoining building that looks out on the street. Inside are current exhibits and historical photographs of Braga, and Rui Prata was generous with his time, telling us much about the history of Braga. He himself is a photographer, a curator of exhibits, and has recently retired from director of the museum to move to Finland from where he still curates exhibits all over Europe.

|This particular exhibit was
about the 1974
Carnation Revolution
|Later Rui treated us to dinner
and introduced us to some fine
Portuguese wines.
We'd often heard about the Museu dos Biscainhos, a historical mansion, originally built in the early 17th century by a noble family. Inside its many rooms are collections of 17th and 18th century European and Asian furniture, ceramics, porcelain, glass, paintings, etc. The baroque palace or manor had its own chapel, servant quarters, carriage house. But it was the 18th century baroque garden with statues, fountains, pathways between hedges and flower beds, and trees that blew me away, and I focus my pictures on its beauty. 9One tree is a giant tulip poplar, sent from Virginia to the nobleman's family 2 centuries ago.)
A 200-year-old tulip poplar and me.
Did I mention it was huge?
Moments like this give you a sense of your size in the scheme of things.
Last, but not lease, I'd like to mention our good fortune to meet Inȇs Barbosa on our first and subsequent visits. Inȇs is getting her Masters at University of Minho and was interning at the hotel where we stay (Hotel Senhora a Branca) until just recently, when she went to work for Lufthansa in Porto. She patiently answered innumerable questions about Braga, about Portugal, about Fado, etc. On our last visit she told us about some of the Folklorico groups in Braga. The group she belongs to were to perform in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, the day after we left Braga.
|In Folklorico costume.
How about you? Do you belong to a heritage or historical interest group of some kind? Do you love historical buildings and gardens?

Well this post is mainly about some of our favorite eateries, but a later one will hit the highlights of some special places to see. (And then we'll move on to our nephew's wedding last week.)
One of our favorite hangouts when we go to Braga is Café Vianna, a café overlooking Praça da República (Republican Square). There are tables inside and out, but we sit at an outside table under one of their giant umbrellas sipping wine and people-watching.
|Café Vianna used to be a
hub of political activity in
the years before Salazar.
|Now it's just a popular place
for tourists to enjoy.
|It's almost always busy.
The square is dominated by an immense circular fountain, and on a hot day it's refreshing just to watch the streams of water shoot up and splash down. (It was hot in early June!) The square was being decorated while we were there (as was the city) for the coming Festa de São João (St. John the Baptist), a very popular festival that occurs mid-June.
|I was surprised by a rainbow!
|The arches are part of the decoration
for the coming Festa de São João
|Two gracious women at
the tourist office, Márcia
and Cristina, have helped
me a lot with my research.
The eating places in Braga are quite interesting. Each of them has a unique flair. And I don't mean just what kind of food they serve. They combine ideas about eating. For instance, on our last trip, we discovered a wine bar called Copo. But Copo isn't just a wine bar. or a tapa bar, although that, too.
|A little dining hall.
|Unless you prefer the garden.

What's not to like?

Avenida Central, not

|Books, books, books! What's not to like?
Not far from Centésima Página is a remarkable place called Casa do Professor, a home for retired teachers -- at any level: elementary to university level. It houses a library and a restaurant and bar, among other features. The goal is to make the teachers feel at home. But the restaurant is also open to outside guests and parties. We didn't take any picture of it, but here is a website that can tell you more about it . There is a buffet dining room at street level, and both a cafeteria and a menu restaurant down a few stairs to the next level. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced. Being vegetarians, we had a vegetable-filled pastry for lunch that was so good I could swoon over it. And a party of teachers were at a group of tables near the far window, having a wonderful time.
Last spring, visiting the Museu Imagem for research, (Image Museum), a unique photography gallery, we were privileged to meet the director, Rui Prata, who introduced us to both the fabulous three day photography exhibit last fall, and also Casa do Professor, as well as two other noteworthy restaurants. The names of those two wonderful restaurants elude me, but we found two more in a little square (Largo da Praça Velha) near the museum: Taverna do Felix, and Anjo Verde.
Anjo Verde means Green Angel, and it's all vegetarian food that must be cooked by angels! Last fall we enjoyed a memorable lunch of eggplant parmigiana cooked just right. We split an order, and their portions are so generous we still were quite stuffed. I only have one picture to share, but this website can show your more of the interior, as well has samples of their wonderful food :
Right next door, in the same largo was a restaurant I'd been intrigued by online while doing research - Taverna do Felix (Felix's Tavern). I want to place a scene in my book there. These pictures should give some idea of it's distinct ambience, which is both elegant and cosy.
|A great selection of wines.
|Gray lace on white linen.
|Combined with Marilyn!
Little tables were also in clusters, here and there. We were among the early guests, but were welcomed in, and "Nina" the owner, explained the wonders of Port to me as she and a warm and friendly waitress named Sandra set things in place: White Port is an appetizer, and red Port is for dessert. (I knew about the red, but not the white, did you?) In the course of the evening, she gave us a sample of each. Here's a video that gives you more information about the restaurant and owner, and you'll encounter the beautiful Portuguese language as well. And here are some photos of the food: as well as more pics of the restaurant. Our meal was lovely. We do eat fish, and we had broiled sea bass beautifully presented.
Meanwhile, the restaurant had started filling up, and there were couples at various tables from all parts: Netherlands, Belgium . . .

My next Fado discovery was the great Fadista, Marisa da Luz, in Braga, Portugal.
At Mercado das Tapas, various Fadistas perform, but when we went last year we were fortunate to hear Marisa da Luz. We liked her so much that, when we knew we were going again early this month, we requested her. There are many things that make her such a good Fadista: To begin with, she has a beautiful voice with quite a range. But she also pours such feeling into her songs, they wring your heart.

But it has felt great to just relax after the hectic days leading up to our trip -- the bathroom remodel, putting the house back together before our trip, the book signing at Time Tested Books (a delightful evening), and setting up other book signings after we return. When we got to Galicia, we just gave into the trance of taking long walks and long drives for photo shoots, visiting friends and neighbors. We've been blessed with beautiful sunny days, although it's been a little windy at times, and at times there has been the usual sprinkle of rain. And at this time of year, the countryside abounds with wild broom, whole fields of it.

Cuckoos call, and you see the flash of black and white wings of the magpies. And in Tuiriz, near the church, two stork nests rise atop poles that seem to be their designated area. Originally they built their next on the church steeple. Meanwhile, nearby, around the corner from our house, Eva's chickens peck the corn she gives them that is responsible for the brilliant gold of their eggs.
Still, around all the tranquility, this is a working vacation for me, and I will be back to work on my cozy mystery re-write starting this afternoon, and a book review will soon follow this post.
Also, please check out Rosi Hollinbeck's interview with me, review of my book, Imogene and the Case of the Missing Pearls, and a giveaway, on her blog, THE WRITE STUFF.

So when I learned Imogene and the Case of the Missing Pearls was going to be published in June, I knew exactly where I wanted to have my book signing. MX Publishing sends exclusive shipments to independent booksellers who give pre-publishing signings. The signing went very well. I'll skip now to pictures of the evening. An evening of great fun, I have to add. It felt like one big party! And, you can see in the background, what a great bookstore this.

|First in an exciting mystery

It's my pleasure to have this award-winning author as my interview guest today. I'll get right to it:
EV: Have you always been interested in writing? When did you first get into it seriously?
With The Secret of the Golden Flower, the second book in my Nicki Haddon mystery series, my wonderful editor really worked hard to get it right. Nicki,the main character, is a female Chinese James Bond, and anytime a book has a number of clues, etc. the editing can take almost as much time as writing the book in the first place.
EV: What are you working on now, or can you say?
EV: Ah . . . Janis Joplin. I can believe she would. When oldies-but-goodies come on my car's radio, she outshines all the other singers the DJ plays.

I promised pictures of my students' art exhibit, and here they finally are. The exhibit went up March 14th, and it's coming down tomorrow so that I can pass back the art pieces Thursday (our last class this year.) The art club is one of the great joys of my life, and I am especially grateful to the South Natomas Community Center on Truxel (Sacramento) for supporting these classes, and to University Art Store on J and 26th Streets for holding the exhibit this year. We had a little reception on the opening day (punch and cookies) and whole families turned out to see it. The students are normally 8-to-13-year-olds, but this year I had one 7-year-old and two 13-year-olds.

The long silence since my Christmas
posting was due to the exciting news that my middle grade mystery, Imogene and the Case of the Missing Pearls, will be published in June by MX Publishing. I was busy with formatting and editing issues to get it ready. (MX Publishing specializes in Sherlock related books, so Sherlock fans can go HERE to see a wonderful selection.) You can also read more about my book next door on my Victorian Scribbles blog HERE:
Not surprisingly, I have been reading a lot of mysteries both for young people and for adults. I recently joined Capitol Crimes, the local chapter of Sisters-in-Crime, since I'm currently working on a cosy mystery for adults. I was invited there by a friend, and it's her book I want to talk about today: Flint House, by Kathleen L. Asay, published by Bridle Path Press.
Flint House is a mystery, in fact a bundle of mysteries revolving
Liz Cane, a cynical journalist with The Sacramentan, goes for an interview with Maisie Flint, the unpleasant owner of Flint House, a Victorian landmark in town. At one point, Maisie interrupts the interview to check on something upstairs. A few minutes later she tumbles down the stairs and dies.
Did she trip? Or was she pushed?
The tenants of Flint House are life's strays, hiding out from life in this rickety, shabby old Victorian. One mysterious tenant is called The Princess. No one knows her real name, but all the tenants seem to adore her, whereas none of them were especially fond of Maisie. The tenants also face eviction once Maisie's distant relative shows up to claim the house. The Princess claims to have a solution that will save Flint House. Then she is found in an alley, beaten nearly to death.
A random attack by a stranger? Or was she attacked by someone who knew her?
Despite herself, Liz gets drawn into their lives. She finds herself pursuing the story, partly as hard-bitten reporter, and partly because she cares about this motley collection of people who have become a family to each other. She's also obsessed with solving the mystery of The Princess's real identity.
I know it's almost a cliche these days to say "I couldn't put the book down," but I couldn't. It was an engrossing read, and the characters are memorable. Despite the events I've mentioned, it's also a heartwarming read. I highly recommend it.
And no spoilers here. You will have to read the book to answer the questions raised above.

We have been traveling, and I started this post when we were still in England, visiting family. (Post about that to follow when I finish the posts about Spain.k) We got back late last night (actually early this morning), but I had promised to get back to two events in the earlier part of our Galicia visit, and here they are:
|David and Pepe
|David and Terri
On this particular Friday, two main musicians were playing. We had dinner first (around 9:30), and the music started around 11:00 p.m. One of the musicians sang, both of them played, and they went through a whole gamut of popular songs from the 80s -- in English. They were really good. Here are a few pictures:
|The main duo.
|The singer.
|Hearfelt guitar work.
Occasionally a third musician joined them and sang along. They had a good sound! (I wish I had gotten the name of the group.)
|The servers thought they were
pretty good, too. Singing along
with great gusto!
|Susana, server extraordinaire!
|Processions . . . this is a special
galician bagpipe called a gaeto.
|A medieval damsel . . .
|A verrry young knight Templar!
|From one of the plazas.
|And the little ones on burros!
|Entertainers on stilts.
|I don't know how
they do it!
|This woman was really into
her role.
|The ever-present
|I suppose this is where the knights
collected their helmets.
|To defend their king and queen.
(Isabel and Ferdinand).
|King of Castile y Leon.
|Such beautiful birds! I think they said
this unusual raven (with the white stripe) is distinctive to Galicia.
|The horned owl is so commanding!
|But this hawk is pretty
impressive, too.
|One of the trainers and a snowy owl.
|The other trainer watching
a falcon he released.
|They finished off the show
with an interval when people
could pet one of the birds.
|And who would you guess is petting that snowy owl?
Yup. Yours truly. It was really an awesome experience.

|Five big rocks that may surprise you.
|Craig, Melanie, and their
loveable dog, Slawit
They are from England, but they have lived in Galicia for about ten years, and Craig has written a book about their adventures. He also has a blog, and he wrote nice a post about the dolmen HERE . Enjoyment of wine in Spain is contagious, and he has started growing his own vines and making his own wine (which is pretty good; we get to sample it whenever we go to Galicia. ) In addition, they have restored another home, and this one they rent out. (You can learn more about it at his blog site.)
So, back to the dolmen. And what is a dolmen? you might ask? Wikipedia gives a pretty good explanation of dolmens and where they can be found, HERE . Basically a dolmen is considered a megalithic tomb. Usually it has a flat capstone on top of the standing stones. Rajan and I wonder if the stone in the picture above that is off to the right is the original capstone for this dolmen. Originally dolmens were covered up with earth mounds, and 5,000 to 6,000 years of erosion have uncovered them.
|Even with enlarged photo, it's hard to tell. After all, the
trees are pretty tall, and it's hard to tell hear just how tall.
Even with Craig and Melanie's good directions and the picture on Craig's blog post, we had to look for it. Despite signs, from a distance, it's hard to appreciate the size.
This should give you a better idea:
|How on earth did they prop these stones up?
Anyone who know me knows I have a thing about old buildings. I love to touch old man-made structures, whether 12th century walls or Roman era bridges, whether in England or Spain. But our British friends all find this somewhat amusing. After all, they remind me, they grew up surrounded by historic buildings and Roman bridges. It's no big deal to them. But I always have to touch these old edifices that, I feel, bear still the mystical aura of humans touching them long ago.
So, you can imagine how enthralled I was to touch something that humans touched maybe 5,000 or 6,000 years ago.
|Yup! Pretttty impressed. And pretty happy, too.
1. A blog friend, Julian Hones, gave me the "Inspiring Blog" award on her great site, My Writing Life . Julia is an editor of a magazine and writes poetry and short fiction. The blog carries some "pass it on and give information" duties that will have to wait for another post, but I was certainly pleased to get it. Thank you, Julia.
2. I made this announcement on Facebook, but for those of my blog friends who are not on FB, My Flash Fiction, "Persephone," is in the current issue of Fiction Attic Press and will also be in the Flash in the Attic anthology. You can read it HERE: If you have time to read it, I'd love your feedback.
Meanwhile, how do you feel about old buildings? Do have that irresistible urge to touch them and imagine who touched them so many years ago?

the Inspiring Blogger Award
6. Renee Hand's The Crypto-Capers Review is a children's book review blog as well as a platform for her radio show, Stories from Unknown Authors. Renee also writes winning interactive mysteries. How cool is that? Check out her site, and you may find yourself being interviewed if you've written a children's book.
7. Mark Noce has a rather eclectic blog, sharing news about his flash fiction publications, gardening, music he likes, and news about other writers. It's always a feel-good experience to read one of his posts.
On to the Liebster Award, which Sandra Cox kindly gave to me. Sandra's blog is called, not surprisingly, Sandra's Blog . Sandra is a prolific blogger as well as a prolific author. Spend a little time at her site. Her pictures will make you smile. Meanwhile, the Liebster Award is given to bloggers with less than 200 followers, ferreting out blogs you think are worthy of more followers. (Thank you, Sandra!) The rules for accepting the award are to share 11 random facts about myself, answer 11 questions posed by the blogger who nominated me, nominate 11 bloggers who qualify, and pose 11 questions to them. Happily, Sandra modified the rules, asking 6 questions, and nominating 5 newbies. So I am following her lead:
The questions she asked:
1. If you were an animal, what would you be? Probably a dog. I love animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. They are so loving and loyal.
2. What is your favorite genre? That's a hard one. Mysteries and historical novels are about equal.
3. When reading, do you prefer paper or a hand held device? Paper, for sure!
4. What's your favorite vacation spot? Galicia, Spain.
5. What's your favorite charity? Another hard one. We contribute to a number. I suppose Southern Poverty Law Center, a remarkable organization that goes after hate groups in this country and prosecutes hate crimes.
6. If given the choice, where would you live? Right where we live now. As a runner up, Galicia would be next, but we are quite happy where we are.
Okay, my nominees are:
Richard Hughes at Writing and Living by Richard P. Hughes , is an eclectic blogger, sharing thoughts about writing, art, life in general, publishing issues. Right now he's running an interesting series of interviews with other bloggers, called, "Where I Live and Why I Like It.
Rosi Hollinbeck at The Write Stuff reviews children's books, interviews authors, and does a wonderful job of culling and sharing links to help writers in every sphere of writing. I always look forward to her posts, and you will too.
Kenda Turner at Words and Such post book reviews, interviews, and shares rich thoughts about the writer's journey. Always a good read.
Loretta Proctor at Books and Other Things blogs about books, art, and music, "and all things creative and beautiful." Her current post is about Seamus Heaney, one of my favorite poets.
Jeanmarie Anaya's delightful blog, Jeanmarie Anaya is definitely worth your while. Humorous, pithy, eloquent. She writes about a number of writing issues, and wrote a lovely tribute to Robin Williams.
And here are my six questions for these worthy recipients:
1. Where is your favorite place to read a book?
2. When beginning a new W.I.P., do you write by hand or wordprocess?
3. What are three of your favorite books?
4. If you could be a character in a novel you've read, who would you be?
5. Which author, living or dead, do you wish you had the opportunity to meet?
6. When did you begin to write for yourself (as opposed to doing early homework assignments)?
And that's it, folks. I look forward to your comments, (feel free to answer any of the questions I posed for the nominees), and I do hope you check out the blogs in both sections of this post.

|A plate full of pulpo. You eat it with
toothpicks, bite by bite. Then you
break off chunks of crusty bread and
sop up the spiced olive oil. Yum!
|Our wonderful neighbor,
But then our neighbor across the lane from us treated us to pulpo at the feria in Monforte, 20 minutes away from our village, and, as usual, we were enthusiastically swept away. (This is the neighbor who keeps sheep, and sometimes in the mornings, we awaken to their soft bleating.) Off we went, my Fado post tabled for another day.
Pulpo is octupus, boiled, cut in small pieces, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pimiento - which in this area, means hot red pepper. All of our neighbors simply love pulpo, and their enthusiasm has been contagious. Though vegetarians, we do eat pescados and mariscos (fish and seafood), but octopus was a new experience for us. When done right, meaning boiled long enough, it comes out moist and tender and just delicious. It is served at long tables, in special buildings at all the fair grounds, and one of the servers comes around with a bottle of the house red wine and a loaf of fresh bread to go with it.
|The woman boiling this pulpo
is the neighbor of a woman in
Turiz, Melucha, whom we met
years ago when she was walking
her cows down the road to graze.
The people in these neighboring
villages all know each other, so
Miguel was able to tell us this.
|Rajan, adding his touch. We
actually see this woman and
another (who is distantly re-
lated to Miguel), at ferias in
the other villages, since the
market days in the villages
fall on different days.
|One of the long tables set up for this
event. For those who don't like pulpo,
there is also barbequed beef or sausage.
|Despite the note about beef, most of
these people are eating pulpo,
always the favorite.
|Good to the last drop.
|Definitely a satisfied customer.
Feria is "fair" or market day, and in the mornings, nearly everything is sold at a feria: shoes, blouses, scarves, belts, beaded jewelry, plants, fruit, all kinds of produce, honey, bread loaves of all types, utensils for making wine, utensils for making the home-made brandy so popular here, aguardiente. One shot of that will blow your head off, but most people around here confine it to a little shot in their coffee when they do decide to have it. There is also a special drink they make, using aguardiente, called quemada, with orange peel, apple peel, coffee beans, and sugar, blogged about, before, HERE. (Scroll down to the very bottom of it, and you'll learn about the drink and the history behind it, as well as seeing the clay vessel they make it in and the clay cups they serve it in; the set is also called a quemada, and it is also sold at the ferias.)
While we were there, a gypsy playing an accordion came in and played some melodies that were so familiar to the crowd, some sang along. It was an absolutely charming touch (and he gained a few coins for that) but, alas, I didn't take pictures. A memorable lunch, for sure.
How about you? Have you ever eaten octopus? Have you ever found yourself eating a dish you thought you never would?

|My writing corner when it's tidy.
|Although this is what is usually looks like.
Hello, again, at last, after the long silence. I have keenly missed blogging and connecting with blog friends, but I had to put writing first these last few weeks, and it's paid off. I finished my mystery, and now I'm doing the re-thinking, re-conceiving, additional research, etc. that is so much of the re-writing process. And I have been reading a wonderful book that I just have to share. The Art of Character, by David Corbett.
I first came across Corbett's insights in an article titled, "Characters, Scene by Scene", in the January, 2015 issue of Writer's Digest. (Yes, I know it's not January yet, but that's how magazines do things.)
In his article, Corbett emphasizes that "dimensional characters are born from drama—not description." Yes, you should know descriptive and biographical details: eye color, hair color, height, weight, hobbies, work history, biographical information, etc., but that's doesn't create characters who live and breathe. What brings them alive on the page is interaction with others in scenes that serve a purpose in the story.
To paraphrase just one of his examples: How your character looks isn't as important as, say, how her appearance makes her feel, how it makes others feel, and how this translates into behavior. The same is true of age: How does her age affect her interactions? I have to say that just reading this article inspired several insights into my main character and a couple of others, and I immediately sent off for his book, The Art of Character. Here's the book at Amazon, although several sites sell it.
The Art of Character does not disappoint. It's like a course in creative writing, with exercises that are challenging but oh-so useful if you want rounded out characters that truly drive your story. It's also like a course in psychology, probing your characters fears, desires, hates, loves, spirituality or lack of it. Or a course in sociology. Or philosophy. Or literature. (Corbett gives solid examples of stories, plays, novels, that illustrate the concepts he covers.)
You can tap into this book as deeply as you feel your work calls for, but the advice and insights gleaned from it are useful for any genre: light fiction, cosy mystery, MG or YA novel, literary adult fiction. It's the best book on writing I've come across in a long time. And it's the kind of book you can return to again and again.
You can visit his website to learn more about this book and the best-selling mysteries he writes. Meanwhile, I have to get back to the last chapter, the one on "voice". Happy reading.
And happy writing.

Online business world
The business trends are dynamic. The modern industrial setup has not only changed the trends of personal life, but the methods of commercial activities, have also undergone a shift. The modern methods of communication and contact are so fast that nothing is unapproachable now. One such trend of development includes the online business world. On one hand it is creating wider opportunities for the businesses and on the other hand, it is adding convenience and utility for the consumer. Inspired by this global trend, I decided to start an online wholesale homeware store, about six years ago. I had to arrange for a number of resources, which were uncommon to traditional businesses. One such resource was the website for my business, which would serve as the main medium between my store and the customers. I put up all the items including retro gifts accessories and toys in my store on the website, so that I can market all my items to sell for profit. But after a few years, I observed that my website was lacking the potential to attract a large number of customers. In the beginning I considered it to be a general trend of the market, but the most shocking part was to know that the competitors were a lot more successful in attracting and retaining the online customers.
See your business flourishing
Since the beginning of my business venture, I was told that the website will be the main platform for my business, to get flourished and enhanced. In this case I made a thorough research to know the ways in which I can boost my business and retail store dealing. My search results were directed towards the use of web hosting services. So my next venture was to get an appropriate web hosting company. So I contacted one of the best web hosting companies. But when I came to know that my website was unable to attract customers, I was really upset, as I was paying a large amount in the shape of web hosting fees and still I was unable to get the desired result. It was a serious point of concern for me and my business.
Over fatigued by this falling business situation, I consulted my friend who had a good experience in online business. After knowing all about my business, he told me that the real solution for my business was the use of SEO services. Initially I was not convinced, but when he told me about the real time examples of the businesses, I was interested. He gave me the reference for the SEO Company, which he was currently working with. But I was determined to do a search myself and then decide the most appropriate thing for my business. I hired the most well-known companies and the results were marvellous. It's been two years since I hired these SEO professionals and the results are beyond the expectations and imaginations. My online retail store is experiencing a 200% increase in sales.
Many people may ask about the miracles the SEO service can do with your website. Initially I was also sceptic. But to explain it to the readers, I will try to explain it in the simplest way. The SEO service is like an optimization technique, in which the content of the website is arranged in a way which makes the website, attractive to a search engine. In this case the quantity of the content does not make a difference, the quality does. So my SEO company did it all for me and now my website appears on top pages of Google. This way my online retail store has become more prominent to my customers and they can easily locate my store, without encountering my competitors first.
I will suggest SEO to everybody, as it's a good approach for the current standards of web marketing. In this era of fast communication and development, the customers are overwhelmed by choices. These choices can make them act cautiously. In this case businesses can no longer succeed if they do not respond to the current trends of the market. I will suggest to everybody who's encountering a decline in the sales, that nothing is better than the SEO services. In this way your business will get streamlined and become highly competitive. The most obvious effect is in the form of increased sales. So if you want to see your business flourishing, get SEO services.

Effective content marketing is about mastering the art of storytelling. Facts tell, but stories sell.
Last week, I visited Comic Con Austin with my 7-year-old son. The people in costumes, the famous actors, and characters were not what caught my attention. What fascinated me is the engagement that people had with these characters, many of whom have been around for more than 50 years. That is the value of great content. I caught up with Shane Gibson, chief social officer for Wizard World and Comic Con to discuss the power of these iconic brands and to discuss social media marketing with these audiences.
Effective content marketing is about mastering the art of storytelling. Facts tell, but stories sell.
Great content marketing planning follows the structure of a powerful story; using an inciting incident that compels you into the narrative arc, strong characters including a hero (protagonist) and an enemy (antagonist), and a sense of conflict and resolution.
The main characters include your brand and your customers. This is the main reason to use content marketing personas, as they allow you to play the role of your customers empathetically as they engage in dialogue with your brand. After all, the origins of the word persona come from script writing and the ancient Greek theaters. Content and social media marketing should be focused all around the conversations you are having with your customers.
When you know and understand personas, you can begin to discover why your customers do what they do:
Now you can begin to plan persuasive content marketing scenarios that will entice people to participate in the conversions that are critical to your business success. Are you planning and delivering the next marketing blockbuster or are you winging it hoping not to be the next flop?

Commentators have differed in their interpretation of this watercolour. The German critic Will Grohmann, for example, saw the figure as a 'fashionable lady, who is spite of her striking elegance is more or less helpless in face of the oppressive spirits'. In the Bauhaus where Klee taught in this period the work was known, he said, as 'The English Miss'. Others emphasise the erotic connotations of the imagery, and Klee's use of arrows as phallic symbols. For Christain Geelhaar the 'young lady's adventure' referred to in the title is sexual in nature.

John Harrigan: Dogs on trails, left in cars, and more on Hydro-Quebec
I LOVE THE French-Canadian culture, history and language, having ancestors in St. Marie de Beauce and Scotts-Irish where I live. We are around 30 percent Francophone here in northern New Hampshire and Vermont, and so a potpourri. Hence, this is not an anti-Hydro-Quebec rant.
But wait, there's more:
At the Woodstock KOA we had a conversation with fellow campgoers about animals in the road, chiefly deer and moose. My take was that we owe animals a clean and quick death. There are no "animal hospitals" within reach of most of the northern parts of New Hampshire.
I've put down animals that I've seen thrashing in agony. I've been told we should wait for an "official." But who in the front of agony would or should wait for an "official?" Readers?
Jack Heath, on whose WGIR Friday 8 a.m. show I'm a regular, asked me a surprise question: Should hikers have their dogs on leashes?
I said yes, unless they have their dogs under voice control. And believe me this is based on a lifetime of hiking.
Oncoming hikers have no certainty about a loose dog. Is it overly protective? To me, nobody should assume that anybody else loves or wants or trusts your dog.
I've spent nearly a lifetime on high-country trails. These days there are so many dogs on the trails that I don't want to bother with guessing, or policing.
"Curb your dog" is an urban term unfortunately transferred to rural situations. First, clean up after your dog. Second, leash it or have it under voice command so that you don't spoil other hikers' experiences.
Dogs in cars.In Lincoln, we left two dogs in our vehicle while we went to (a) eat some snacks, and (b) try out the Segways. A well-meaning law enforcement officer immediately drove up to explain that he was certain to get reports about the dogs.
We explained that we were dog-loving people, had parked our rig in the shade, had walked and watered the dogs, would never leave our dogs in untenable conditions, and would be back to check them if we stayed too long.
Still, he said, he was sure he'd get calls. And we said, "Tell the callers we've acted responsibly." He left, saying "Thanks."
To me, a good guy, Sergeant Deluca. When I asked about the name, he said, "It's the Smith name in northern Italy."
This national hysteria about dogs and kids shut in vehicles is in the long run a good thing, but to responsible dog owners is nothing more than a hassle.
Now that the hayseeds (that's us) have forced this get-rich-on-our-landscape scheme to bury part of the line that would be Up Here, that apparently no one has paid attention to (that's us) in the North Country, what does that make residents, taxpayers, and adjoining people on down the line? Chopped liver?
We camped out (in a cabin, I've been on the ground in or without a tent and all, done that, and my bones are getting old) at the Woodstock KAO Campground for the past three days, and had a great time, dogs and children playing like mad. It was one of the best places we've ever stayed.
The Hydro-Quebec line would go right through there, the owners said. They are horrified.This brought to mind what opponents have said all along. If this for-private-gain, not-for-our-gain (New Hampshire exports power), landscape-insulting thing goes through, some of us won't even see it, because it would go through other neighbors' land, out of sight. So it's not "my back yard" (NIMBY). It's "EBY" - everybody's back yard.

Oracle Information InDepth

US Manufacturers Turn to Enterprise Project Portfolio Management to Capitalize on Growth Opportunities
A new white paper from Oracle, "Manufacturing Outlook: Improving Time to Market, Operational Effectiveness, and Innovation in a Highly Competitive Environment," explains that there's good news and bad news for US manufacturers in the current economic environment. On the plus side, manufacturing production is expected to grow by 2.4 percent in 2014 and 4.1 percent in 2015. The bad news? Many manufacturers are still struggling to recover in the aftermath of the recession, when many companies closed plants, reduced staff, and lost customers.
In the following interview, John Reichard, Oracle's director of discrete industry strategy, discusses how an updated business strategy and the right enterprise project portfolio management (EPPM) solution can help manufacturers capitalize on growth opportunities in today's volatile market.
Q: What current fundamentals make the US a strong manufacturing environment?
A: First, this country has a mature and extensive infrastructure in place, along with a strong workforce that is highly trained and skilled with the latest technology used in sophisticated manufacturing processes.
Q: What's the flipside? What challenges will manufacturers be facing in the months ahead?
A: One of the biggest is the ability to quickly bring the right products to market at the right time. If a manufacturer can't meet changing customer demands, customers will look to competitors. The challenge extends beyond satisfying current demand—manufacturers must continually replicate the product delivery process to keep sales momentum growing and create greater market share.
Q: How can manufacturers do that?
A: They must focus on three key areas: financial discipline, operational excellence, and risk mitigation. As manufacturers manage these aspects of bringing products to market, they derive better returns on investments and ultimately increase stakeholder and customer satisfaction.
Q: What's the role of EPPM solutions in these efforts?
A: The right EPPM solution provides visibility and collaboration across the enterprise. It is scalable and enables manufacturers to answer key questions, such as: Do we have the resource capacity to deliver the products that are in demand? Do we have the necessary financial support? Do we have the tools to enhance visibility and collaboration and offer integrated scheduling and real-time reporting throughout the value chain? Do we have the talent and resources to develop new products with quality and meet budget expectations?
Answering these questions can be difficult in large organizations where departments are siloed and there's little communication or understanding of the status of important projects. That contributes to delays and budget overruns, as well as quality issues. With an advanced EPPM solution, managers can see across the project value chain, and with the benefits of real-time reporting, understand the status of each project. That minimizes delays and promotes the effective use of resources, equipment, and budgets.
And when it comes to risk, threats may occur from environmental, legal, and compliance issues that arise during the project and can affect the product after delivery. Executives can use EPPM to identify, model, and mitigate risk to help them formulate effective strategies.
Q: What sets Oracle apart in this market?
A: Oracle is committed to the manufacturing industry, with a history spanning more than 30 years. Oracle's Primavera family of products enables collaboration and communication across global teams and partners without jeopardizing a manufacturer's intellectual property. It provides better visibility and traceability of activities, which helps companies improve product quality and mitigate risk. Primavera also helps managers analyze resource requirements, including comparing demand versus capacity, to help accurately forecast resource requirements across programs and projects.

Crypt above Marilyn Monroe up for auction
It's altogether ooky-- for a few million, you can be Marilyn Monroe's upstairs neighbor for all eternity. Or at least until floodwaters wash away your corpse.
Ah, is there anything Americans won't sell?
Add this to the "sounds like a bad joke but isn't" file, if you can fit another slip of paper in there without the thing bursting apart at the seams-- the crypt directly above Norma Jean Baker is up for sale on ebay, and the bidding has stalled out at a cool $4.6 million.
We need a moment to compose a few sordid gags about the late Ms. Monroe. So give us a second to get our heads together before clicking the jump.
Gimme Noise will give a high five to anyone rich and funny enough to snap up this crypt, and an extra around-the-world, behind-the-back five if he or she agrees to be buried face down for comedic effect.
To make this crypt even sexier, it's directly beside Hugh Hefner's future resting spot. Which means that, while the winning bidder spends eternity hovering over the remains of the world's greatest sex idol, any spectral lust will be tainted by the fact that, in all liklihood, Hef will be looking on with creepy, detached amusement, his smoking jacket cinched around his waist.
The plot doesn't come risk free-- consider the risk of having your afterlife haunted by the phantoms of Monroe's numerous lovers. One can fairly expect their time in the land of wind and ghosts to be visited by the vengeful spirits of Arthur Miller, Clark Gable, and JFK. Between the three of them, I'd expect a monumental ass-whooping could be administered.
As of now, just a few minutes remain to bid. So those large in the wallet and small in the brain had best be quick.

2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
We love the commanding view of the road
and the smooth ride. VERY comparable
to the "Luxury SUV's". The interior is
very luxurious with incredibly
comfortable leather. The engine could
be a little more powerful but it's a
truck...how quick does it really need
to be? It has plenty of power for
towing but not as quick as others on
the road.
Leather seats. DVD system has wireless
head phones that make the ride so QUIET
with kids. Lot's of room for camping
equipment and the ability to get you to
the site.
More powerful engine. Full economy
(obviously). Could REALLY use power
folding mirrors since the truck is so
wide and most garages aren't.
2003 Ford Expedition XLT Premium Rwd 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
Great car/truck. Have put on 4,500
miles both in-town and on the road.
Not one problem, fun to drive. Great
room for a large family of big people.
i am 6'4'', 300 lbs and find it the
most comfortable ride i have
experienced in 20 years (of course I
wasn't 300 lbs all those years either).
Interior, especially the leg room in
the third seat area.
More power, better gas milage. Just
2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Rwd 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
I only owned it a month before it was
totaled by a head on collision. We
were stopped and the air bags deployed
and saved us after God. Prior to that
it was enjoyable to drive. I owned a
1999 and enjoyed it also, but the 2003
was the best. It was a real pleasure
to drive. As soon as the insurance
settles, I will own another.
Airbags, seat belts, and air
conditioned seats. Next comes the back
up warning and tilting rearview
mirrors when in reverse.
Some other way for the cigarette
lighter to be in the center console
tray other than looking like a do it
yourself project.Make the air
suspension standard again.
I am spoiled by my car. I love the new
look of the 2003, the a/c seats, the
dvd player, and the easy steering. It
has more luxuries that I didn't know I
needed. :)
Very happy.
back up sensor, a/c seats, captain's
chairs, dvd player, driver 1-2 options.
back up sensor needs a back up light
system. Cadiallac Escalades have a 3-4
verticle row of lights and they light
up the closer you get to an object. Can
improve on too much. It's a wonderful
vehicle. Spoil you rotten. :)
Compared this to the Chevy, Toyota and
GMC SUV's of similar size. The
excellent third row leg room was
important to us with tall sons. We went
with the captains chairs in the second
row. Easy of entry is great. Sound
system is just ok. DVD is nice for the
long trips. We liked the Toyota Sequoia
but no captains chairs so leg room in
third row was poor. Gas milage about 13
in city so far. All in all very happy.
Great interior room, folding power
third seat, DVD and van or car like
Better sound system.
