Hoagland family
I was reading what you wrote on Daniel Parmelee Hoagland's memorial #46123387. I am wondering if you know where Ida Bergen Hoagland, she was a sister to Daniel, is buried? Daniel was my 6th cousin once removed, in other words very very distant. My grandmother was Blanche Belle Hoagland, she was his 5th cousin.

One hundred seven years ago today, Leslie Townes Hope was born in England. You might know him better as Bob. Yes, it's Bob Hope's birthday and we're celebrating by bringing you this special poem, which salutes all of those who have supported the USO and our Troops…
Throughout its noble history the USO has been there for America's brave, honorable ones who answered our beloved country's call on behalf of us all, standing proudly tall defending the home of the brave, and keeping the USA the land of the free with oh so many in harm's way.
The USO has gone and continues to go with patriotic volunteer entertainers from legends to new star faces bringing enjoyable reprieve to our troops near and far away, with a message of appreciation, respect, and support for their valiant duty to country!
The USO truly exemplifies love and pride of America, as does all the involved celebrity patriots with a special salute to those being there whenever asked like… Bob Hope, Wayne Newton, Martha Raye, Ann-Margret, Gary Sinise, and Toby Keith.

This is an awesome recipe, and no it has no oil and no eggs. I assembled mine early in the a.m. and after 6 hours just could not stand it to wait any longer. Baked it in a 9x5 inch pan. for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Turned it out right aeay without any problems.Mia,thanks for sharing.
Mia, this is amazing!! Right from the beginning the mixture smells absolutely wonderful, I was very reminded of making a Christmas cake!! I marinated overnight, and baked for just over an hour, turned out great. my husband, left in charge of the apples, sliced rather than dicing, not too important, I think! The final result, for me, had much the texture of a Christmas pudding/dumpling, rather than cake or bread, but its wionderful, by itself or with cream/custard!!! I had a few glace cherries which I pushed into the top as it baked, more because I had them than for any other reason!!! Great recipe, Mia, I know I will be making this again, made for Beverage Tag.
What an excellent bread...but...I think it is more like a fruit cake but loads better...no candy things in it...the texture is very dense and my first cut into it the side broke away...so it is on the crumbling side...but the flavor is out of this world good...the rum is dominate but that's ok with us...**hick**...just kidding but you really do get the taste of the rum...I can see the hubby smearing butter on it...or even heating in the microwave and topping it with whipped cream or the suggested vanilla ice cream...btw...not sure if the hazelnuts were suppose to be whole...I did search for the whole ones...but all I found was chopped so that's what I used...yummy bread...made for Spring 2014 PAC...=)
A wonderfully rich and moist fruit loaf! A word of warning: DO NOT bake this in a 9 x 9 square pan, even if the pan has the same capacity as a large loaf pan! In a square pan, the loaf is flatter, bakes faster, and is done at around 40 minutes, which is not enough time for the alcohol to evaporate - the loaf was still pretty potent! ;-) I went and bought a 9 x 5 loaf pan for the second attempt, and was rewarded by a beautifully sweet and flavourful end result. This recipe will definitely get made again, thank you Mia!
I don't make bread that often, but this one caught my eye, This is one very tasty, flavorful loaf that I made for lunch, and everyone had this delightful treat after school. Made this exactly as posted, and can not wait until the fall to go apple picking here at Indiana's largest apple orchard right down the road in the fall. Thanks for posting this great recipe. Made for Market tag.
I definitely not a good judge when it comes to the varieties of alcohol or its substitutions, but I have used both brandy & rum in mincemeat, so . . . In this particular recipe, instead of the rum I used apple brandy ~ Other than that, I followed the recipe right on down & we had an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TASTING LOAF, & I now have a great keeper recipe, too ~ Thanks for sharing it!

Summertime in the Las Vegas area means plenty of sunshine and high temperatures.
Sunburn occurs when the skin is damaged through prolonged or excessive
exposure to the sun's rays, which contain damaging UV radiation.
If your child has developed a sunburn, there are several at-home remedies
you can use to relieve his discomfort. Serious sunburns or sunburns that
occur concurrently with heat exhaustion or heat stroke should be seen by a
children's emergency care provider immediately. Otherwise, follow these simple tips.
Keep Your Child Hydrated
Sunburns can be associated with dehydration, which can quickly escalate
into a serious health concern for children. Keeping your child hydrated
with water, juice, and sports drinks can help to prevent dehydration and
improve comfort by hydrating the body and the skin.
Apply Lotion to Your Child's Skin
Applying a moisturizing lotion or calamine lotion to your child's
skin can help to relieve the pain of a sunburn. However, don't use
lotions with antihistamines, hydrocortisone, or benzocaine unless directed
by your pediatrician. Rather than rubbing lotion into your child's
skin, dab it gently on the affected areas.
Dress Your Child in Loose Clothing
Tight clothing can irritate sunburned skin. Dressing your child in light,
loose-fitting clothing will help to keep him cool and comfortable while
his sunburn heals. You should also take steps to
protect your child's skin from the sun during the healing process—hats and long-sleeved clothing will allow
the skin to heal without allowing the burn to grow worse with added sun exposure.
Sunburns aren't an inevitability of fun in the sun. Applying a child-safe
sunscreen with SPF 15-30 every two hours can prevent the redness, discomfort,
and other complications associated with sunburn in children. If you have
more questions about sunburn or
summertime health, please call Sunrise Children's Hospital's Consult-A-Nurse
line today at (702) 233-5437. You can also find more information about
our children's hospital in Las Vegas when you visit us online.
Whether you're preparing for a family road trip or simply planning
to run to the store, car safety is important for your baby.
Your pediatric physician can help you determine the best practices and products for your child's
needs to ensure he always rides safely and securely while on the road.
Use a Car Seat
The advent and use of seat belts have drastically reduced the number of
injuries and deaths associated with automobile accidents. However, babies
cannot sit in passenger seats or use seat belts because these tools are
not an effective and safe way to prevent an injury during an accident
for a small child. Newborns and infants should be placed in a
rear-facing car seat in the backseat of your vehicle. Always use the straps or harness to secure
your baby in his seat, even for short drives, and make sure the seat itself
is secured properly using your vehicle's seat belts in compliance
with the seat's user manual.
Leave Yourself Reminders
Children should never be left in a parked car, even on a temperate day.
Vehicle-related heat stroke is a serious risk to your child's health
and can occur quickly inside a parked vehicle. Many heat stroke deaths
are accidental—thus, it's vital to leave yourself a reminder
that your child is traveling in the car with you. Placing your cell phone
or purse in the backseat ensures that you won't leave the vehicle
without seeing your child's car seat as well. Alternatively, consider
leaving a toy on your passenger seat or in a cup holder so you'll
remember to check the backseat when you see it.
Staying safe on the road with your baby is easy when you have the right
tools and information. At Sunrise Children's Hospital, we have the
resources and the
healthcare services to promote better health and wellness for your child at every age. Please
visit us on the web to learn more about our children's hospital
and emergency care services in Las Vegas, or call (702) 233-5437 for a
physician referral.
Diarrhea is a common condition that may have many causes. While a minor
bout of diarrhea can be handled with home care, prolonged or severe diarrhea
can quickly cause dehydration in children. If you are concerned about
the severity of your child's diarrhea or believe he may be dehydrated,
it's important to seek prompt
pediatric care in Las Vegas. Below you can get a look at some of the reasons your child may be suffering
from diarrhea.
Viral Diseases
One of the most common causes of acute diarrhea in children is a viral disease.
Viral gastroenteritis is caused by Rotavirus and is a highly contagious and extremely common
condition that causes diarrhea within 12-48 hours of contraction. This
virus can also cause vomiting, fever, chills, abdominal cramps, and headaches.
Rotavirus is most common during the wintertime, but a vaccine is available
to protect your child's health.
Bacterial and Parasitic Infections
During the summer, bacterial infections are the most common cause of pediatric
diarrhea. Bacterial infections may be contracted through improperly prepared
or contaminated food, and include E. coli, Salmonella, and Shigella. Parasitic
infections can be contracted through contact with contaminated water.
In fact, Giardia is the most common parasitic cause of diarrhea in children.
While home care and regular hydration are typically the best treatments
for children with bacterial or parasitic diarrhea, medications such as
antibiotics may be recommended in some cases.
Food Intolerances
Food intolerances occur when the body has difficulty digesting a certain
food. This condition differs from a food allergy in that it does not trigger
an immune system response, and instead, generally causes symptoms associated
with indigestion. In some cases, food intolerances can lead to diarrhea,
particularly lactose intolerance. If your child seems to suffer from chronic
diarrhea with no acute cause, his condition may instead be linked to his diet.
Sunrise Children's Hospital, we are pleased to offer comprehensive pediatrics in Las Vegas, including
children's emergency care and outpatient services. You can find
out more about our children's hospital and how to treat common the
most common childhood diseases on our website or by calling (702) 233-5437.
Constipation is a common problem in children, and in most cases, it does
not cause for alarm. However, there are times when constipation does not
resolve with home remedies and your child needs to see a
pediatrics specialist for care. If your child is experiencing constipation, here is what you
need to know.
Recognize the Symptoms
Often, kids will report to their parents that they are experiencing pain
when they are going to the bathroom, which can be the first indicator
of constipation. Passing hard stools may be painful to your child, which
suggests he or she is constipated. In some cases, children who are constipated
actually seem to have diarrhea, as liquid waste moves around a blockage
that is associated with constipation. In other instances, you may notice
on your own that your child seems to be going to the bathroom less. This
may be caused by withholding stool, which occurs when your child attempts
to avoid having a bowel movement, often because of a previously painful
experience. Withholding stool triggers a painful cycle of constipation.
Consider Dietary Remedies
If your child complains of constipation, often making a few simple dietary
changes can help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water, and serve
a high-fiber diet that includes whole grains, beans, and probiotic yogurts.
Frequently, making these dietary changes will ease constipation and encourage
a healthier digestive process.
Talk to a Pediatrician
A pediatrics specialist should evaluate constipation that doesn't
respond to dietary treatments or that recurs.
Dr. Howard Baron of Sunrise Children's Hospital explains in this video that treatment for constipation for children should
begin in the primary care pediatrician's office, who may then order
a referral to a pediatrics gastroenterologist as needed. Doctors may suggest
stool softeners, laxatives, or in severe cases, an enema, to help kids
with persistent constipation get well.
Parents can rely on the care their kids get from Sunrise Children's
Hospital, from basic preventative pediatrics in Las Vegas to
children's emergency care. If you're concerned about your child's symptoms, call us
at (702) 233-5437 to speak to a nurse and ask for a physician referral.
Going to the children's hospital for
emergency care is something every parent dreads. However, you can make this overwhelming
situation a little more manageable by taking a few small steps to ensure
your visit goes as smoothly as possible. When it's necessary to
seek emergency care for your child, keep this advice in mind to minimize
the stress surrounding your visit.
Be Prepared
ER visits tend to be less stressful if you prepare for them well before
you know you'll need one. Create medical records for every member
of your family that includes information about current medications, allergies,
pre-existing health conditions, and the dates of past surgeries or major
medical procedures. Print paper records to store at home and in your care,
or keep the records on your phone. To provide the best emergency care,
the medical providers will need to know this information, so gather it
when things are calm instead of trying to cobble it together in the face
of an emergency.
Pack a Bag
In some emergencies, you don't have time to stop and pack things
for your visit, but when time allows, doing so can make the visit easier
on everyone involved. Grab your child's favorite toy or blanket
plus some things to keep him or her occupied while you wait, such as coloring
books or small games. If you have to bring siblings, be sure you pack
things to keep everyone occupied and tension at a minimum.
Lead the Way
Although seeing your child experiencing a medical emergency can be traumatic
for parents, your child will be looking to you to gauge how upset or fearful
he or she should be. Be calm and confident, and your child will follow
suit. Your visible anxiety will increase your child's fear as well
as that of his or her siblings, so demonstrate your trust in the hospital
to help your kids feel secure.
As a dedicated provider of
children's emergency care in Las Vegas, Sunrise Children's Hospital offers specialized care tailored to
young patients and their families. Find out how we can put your mind at
ease when your kids need medical care by calling our children's
hospital today at (702) 233-5437.

NCAAF Team Report - Clemson - INSIDE SLANT
Clemson's primary concern heading into its final two regular-season games is the health of quarterback Tajh Boyd, who took a jarring hit against Georgia Tech in the Tigers' most recent game and missed the final quarter.
X-rays revealed no broken bones, but a bruised Sternoclavicular joint. Boyd has taken treatments, curtailed his practice time and plans to be ready to go for the final home game of his career on Saturday against in-state FCS rival The Citadel.
"It's still a little sore, but that's just the nature of it," Boyd said. "We've taken some measures to make sure that I'm as healthy as possible. The coaches and the training staff do a great job with that.
"We're doing everything in our power to make sure I'm healthy. I can practice, but it's up to the coaches and how they feel about it. I'm feeling pretty good right now."
Despite rushing the ball 443 times over the past three seasons, Boyd has proven to be quite durable. Fittingly, Boyd will break the Clemson record for consecutive games started at quarterback on Saturday; it will be Boyd's 38th consecutive start, breaking the record held by Charlie Whitehurst.
"Tajh is a battler," offensive coordinator Chad Morris said. "He's a warrior, and that's what you respect about him."
Boyd says it would've taken more than a bruised joint to keep him out of his final home game, especially when he's the leader of a small senior class that will be bidding farewell to Memorial Stadium.
"It's going to be special," Boyd said. "It has been a good ride. We feel like a big part of what's been done here at Clemson the last few years."
And there's plenty of opportunity remaining. The Tigers are 9-1, ranked seventh in the latest BCS standings and are in line for a BCS bowl. Clemson also is attempting to post a third straight 10-win season for just the second time in school history.
Coach Dabo Swinney points to Boyd as the catalyst.
"Our vision was taking this program back to the top and making Clemson nationally relevant," Swinney said. "Being able to recruit the best of the best is important, and guys want to come and be around a player like Tajh Boyd. I told him when we were recruiting him that he could come to Clemson and help me build a program at a place where it hadn't been done for a long time. He believed in it."
NCAAF Team Report - Clemson - NOTES, QUOTES
--QB Tajh Boyd, who already is the ACC's career leader in touchdown passes with 97, could hit triple-digits against The Citadel. Boyd, who will be making the school-record 38th consecutive start of his career, would like nothing more than to go out with a bang in what will be his final home game. Boyd enters the game as the holder of 52 school records and could match an ACC record on Saturday -- he's one shy of Philip Rivers' league-record 18 300-yard passing games.
--WR Martavis Bryant is coming off a career-best game that included five receptions for 176 yards and a touchdown. "What a tremendous job he did," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. Bryant was named ACC Receiver of the Week for his efforts, which came in front of 22 NFL scouts. But the junior receiver's primary issue throughout his career has been consistency, so it'll be interesting to see how he follows up his big-time performance.
--LB Quandon Christian apparently has figured out how to defend the triple option. He had eight tackles, including three behind the line of scrimmage, and was named Defensive Player of the Game by Clemson's coaches against Georgia Tech. Now he gets a chance at another triple-option team when the Tigers play host to The Citadel in what will be the senior's final home game. "We've got to be ready to go," Christian said. "We got a couple of three-and-outs at the beginning of the Georgia Tech game, and that really helped us with momentum for the rest of the game. We've got to do that again Saturday."
--Clemson had 10 tackles for loss against Georgia Tech on Nov. 14, and the Tigers continue to lead the nation in that category with 95 tackles for loss in 10 games. The Clemson record for tackles for loss in a season is 119 by the 1991 Clemson team that featured future NFL standouts Chester McGlockton and Levon Kirkland. Leading the way this season is junior DE Vic Beasley, who has 17 tackles for loss, including 10 sacks.
SERIES HISTORY: Clemson leads the series 30-5-1; Clemson has won 15 straight in the series, with The Citadel's last victory coming in 1931.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Nobody's 100 percent, right now. Our kicker's not 100 percent. Everybody's got bumps and bruises." -- Clemson coach Dabo Swinney on the health of his team after 10 games
NCAAF Team Report - Clemson - STRATEGY AND PERSONNEL
Scouting the running game: Roderick "Hot Rod" McDowell will continue to carry the bulk of the load for Clemson, what with his backups at less than 100 percent. Zac Brooks, D.J. Howard and C.J. Davidson all are nursing nagging injuries. "Hot Rod is our every-down back right now," offensive coordinator Chad Morris said. "Zac has been banged up, and D.J. with his ankle has been limited in what he can do." As long as McDowell stays healthy, the Tigers are in good hands. "He gets better the more carries he gets," Morris said of McDowell, who has a team-best 737 yards this season.
Scouting the passing game: The Citadel boasts a veteran secondary, but that will likely prove to be of little hindrance to Tajh Boyd and company. Boyd is blessed with a wide array of weapons, so it's a pick-your-poison proposition when attempting to cover the Tigers' plethora of pass catchers. Biletnikoff Award semifinalist Sammy Watkins leads the way with his 71 receptions and 1,086 yards, but he has plenty of help in Martavis Bryant, who's coming off a career-best 176-yard outing, and Adam Humphries, who has 34 catches for 413 yards. The receiving corps is healthy and happy, as Boyd has been adept at spreading the ball around -- a school-record 12 different Tigers have at least one touchdown catch this season.
Scouting the run defense: Clemson limited Georgia Tech's triple-option attack to nearly 70 yards below its average last week, so The Citadel's triple option sizes up as not so intimidating. The Bulldogs have a quarterback (Ben Dupree) and running back (Darien Robinson) who could both go over 1,000 yards on the season -- or not. The front seven of the Tigers' defense has emerged as a team strength, with plenty of interchangeable parts. And facing an option attack for a second straight week could play into Clemson's hands. "It beats seeing it for the first time all year," defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "There's carryover. I'd be surprised if we'd forgotten everything we'd learned up to this point."
Scouting the pass defense: Clemson should hold an overwhelming upper hand here. The Citadel has attempted just 76 passes this season, and the Bulldogs will be hard-pressed to suddenly unleash an aerial assault against a Tigers secondary that is experienced and deep. Clemson's defense has intercepted at least one pass in 13 consecutive games -- the longest such streak in the nation -- and appears to be getting better by the game. The Citadel's leading receiver has 15 receptions, so unless the Bulldogs have a secret weapon or two, Clemson should give up yardage begrudgingly through the air and perhaps keep its interception streak going.
Scouting the special teams: Freshman T.J. Green flashed his athleticism last week, making two bone-jarring tackles on kickoffs and earning the Tigers' Special Teams Player of the Week award. But there has been plenty more to Clemson in the kicking game, led by senior Chandler Catanzaro, who has made 36 of his last 38 field goals and booted a career-best 51-yarder against Georgia Tech on Nov. 14. An added bonus? PR Adam Humphries is averaging 10.9 yards per return.
--RB C.J. Davidson is questionable after suffering a knee injury at Virginia on Nov. 2.

I am 61 and have been taking Enalapril for many years. Not even sure how long, at least 10? Probably longer. I resisted BP meds for a long time. In April I suddenly got a rash on my neck along the hair line - very itchy rash. I think at the same time my skin started to feel sort of "rough" is how my husband describes it. And now I have a very itchy rash on lower back - much bigger patch. I really have to wonder if it's the Enalapril as nothing else had changed. My dermatologist gave me an antibiotic liquid to use and said if that didn't help in a month to then try the coal tar ointment. Anyone else have this experience? If yes, what did you do? The pharmacist said if it's the Enalapril I'd have to get an entirely different class of BP med. I have since learned that I'm pretty sure the BP issue is because of my MTHFR mutation ....

VH1's anti-bullying commercial plays up revenge factor
Anti-bullying public service announcements are very commonplace these days in mainstream media, but rarely are they pulled off quite like the one VH1 recently produced.
Played to the tune of Gloria Gaynor's popular 1978 hit "I Will Survive" the commercial shows a defenseless male student getting picked on, only to pick himself up with one strong declaration and a slight lyric change.
"I spent so many nights working on my revenge. I'll be your boss, and then I'll make you be my slave."
While the rest of the clip portrays the boy and other victims getting flogged by towels in the locker room, sat on in the classroom and tied up against the flag pole, they all remain comically steadfast in their belief that one day they'll have all the power.
It's an interesting take to say the least.

Please Hollywood, Don't Make This Movie
I've gotten some pretty good reviews in the past, and my collaboration with Scott Wolf has received more than its fair share of good ones. But this is the first time a reader has loved a book I've worked on and then expressed a desire for it not to be made into a film!
As always, These Dead Lands: Immolation remains on sale at Amazon in both ebook and print formats, and we hope the audio version is out by the end of the year. In the meantime, These Dead Lands: Desolation continues its journey through the, ah, birthing process. Stay tuned!
For My Writer Friends
This blog is mostly directed toward the readership—specifically, my readership, as nascent as it is. Today thought, I'm going to stab the right pedal, throw in a little right cyclic, and while keeping the power pegged at around 85%, exit the pattern to do something a little different.
Truth be told, I've always been a little pissed with authors who are always hocking their work. Back at the turn of this century, I made contact with one David Brin, the scribe who presented us with the Uplift War series, a truly fantastic science fiction serial that set the (SF literary) world on fire back in 1983 with his second entry, Startide Rising. (I'd bought his first entry, Sundiver, back in maybe 1980 but actually read it after the second book.) I'd thought back then that maybe, possibly, I'd be able to foster something of a relationship between us, author to author. Instead, I got the standard "buy my stuff!" with breakdowns of all the past works and upcoming works, and a quick "And hey, you're from my home town!" just to ensure there was a bit of a personal connection. (At the time, I was in Los Angeles, California. I recall LA fondly, which is why I'm overjoyed to see it laid low in my series The Last Town.)
It was a turn-off, obviously. That a Big Name Author™ would respond to one of his readers in such a mercenary way kind of pissed me off. But of course, the fault is my own. What was I expecting, really? To a lot of authors, readers are just a means to an end. To this day, whenever I see an author hocking his wares on FB, or just posing holding his book out front, it sends a subliminal signal that at the end of the day, his/her target audience is just a series of dollar signs that need to be cultivated.
Lesson one: don't do that shit.
Just kidding. We all have to mix in sales with our correspondence, because that's part of doing business. Especially when you're selling the fantasy of fiction; you need to lean forward in the foxhole and push yourself, otherwise you'll be lost in the jumble. That was all Brin was doing back in 2002, trying to maintain some degree of awareness with his readership with the status of his work. While it pissed me off then, it doesn't now.
Lesson two: Ignore Lesson One, but you need to be cool about it.
I get approached by incubating authors quite often. Taking time to read the work of others is a dicey thing; they invariably think they're professional caliber, and you invariably think they're not. This is an exercise in skipping across Occam's Razor. You want to help, but in doing so you delay your own work. Sometimes, this is a gesture you should freely offer. Other times, it isn't. Which is which I'll leave to you to decide, but I'll offer some tips—if the requestor's Facebook posts are frequently misspelled, beg off. If the requestor is a fanboi who you suspect is going to offer a tired pastiche of other genres with Star Trek technology thrown in…pass. If the author is offering work that seems replicated from your own—oh sweet Jesus, find a way out of it. Legal reasons aside, you do not want to start reading stuff that's like your own, because you never know what your wetware is going to recall years down the road, and the last thing you want is for someone to come after you for "ripping them off". (By the way, plagiarism is only a real thing when you do what Stephen Ambrose did, and present another author's work word-for-word as your own. Ripping off someone else's intellectual property, such as retelling another story with different words and with different details, is a dicier proposition, but still capable of summoning legal injunction. Avoid this.)
Sidebar, yer Honor: I have about four point zillion story ideas already, yet people always approach me with "an idea" that could be a big hit if I were to write it. Sometimes, that works out, such as when Craig DiLouie came up with the idea for The Retreat series. In the most cunning of ways, he pitched the premise to me at Spark's Steak House in New York City one summer evening, and waited to get to the pulse of the matter until after I'd consumed several glasses of wine while miserly sipping from his glass of home-brew rosé. Obviously, when a writer of Craig's distinction comes to you with a request for a meeting, you should take it seriously. Regrettably, most of the folks vying for your attention don't have his marquee value. So unless someone like Shawn Chesser or Hugh Howey or Scott Wolf (?) approaches you, go shields up and wait it out. Maybe they're not nutters just looking to hitch their wagon to whatever star you might be in possession of, but be tough and analytical. This is a business. Be a businessperson, not just a glorified typist.
Continuing the sidebar, and this leads to some deep waters: I honestly write maybe nine hours a week. If I'm dedicated to it, that nine hours a week translates to six figures in writing income. In my normal daytime life, I work 40 hours a week and still make six figures, which sounds like a lot until you become familiar with New York City economics, and then you discover that makes you a near-transient member of the middle class (something New York politicians are desperately trying to stamp out; they envision a city populated by both the ultra-rich and the ultra-poor, so they can lobby the former for funds to support the latter). Now listen kids, nine hours a week isn't a lot of time to spend on something so profitable. If my personal life didn't include a foreign-born wife who can't really integrate into American society and a child who wasn't scoring a ten-point-zero on the special needs scale, I could so do that in my sleep. At my best, when I know where a story is going and I know what I need to do to get there, I crank 2,000 words an hour. In nine hours, that's 18,000 words. In two months, that's a long book. In theory, I should be able to pump out a minimum of six really fat books a year.
Damn me, but life just doesn't work that way.
The boss needs you to go all in on a three million dollar project, and surprise, you're the only smart guy on the team. The wife can't get up before two in the afternoon for weeks on end. The kid gets sick. The truck throws a rod even though you change the oil religiously, and your mom goes into the hospital. The dog needs its shots, and the kid needs someone to drive him to therapy, and you're the only one with a driver's license. Then you get sick, because you're exhausted from running full throttle for weeks at end. But sleep eludes you, because your bank has just encountered a severity one emergency, and remember, you're the only smart guy. Your father dies, and he was penniless but somehow managed to amass a mountain of debt. The second car, the troop carrier you use for shopping and daily family errands, gets a critical recall but the dealership doesn't have the parts in stock, and won't for the next three weeks—so you can't really drive it with your kid, and remember, the truck is getting repaired. You don't own a bicycle, so it's time to break out the Mark 1 running shoes and get busy in this thankfully pedestrian-oriented place you live.
Suddenly, that time-intensive thing called writing needs to be deferred.
Lesson three: Take care of life. The writing can and should wait.
Okay, okay. All of this should make common sense, at least to most people. If you're already lost, you're not one of the "most people", so the following might be difficult for you. But if you're made it this far, by all means–press on! The primer is over! (Warning: Mucho Foul Lingo approaches!)
THE REAL DEAL: WHAT IT TAKES TO WRITE SUCCESSFULLY (and if you disagree, blow me)
Ah, the business of writing! So much to say, so much experience to impart! These are where the real nuggets of knowledge exist, or at least those which I can present. Take note, class. Quiz later!
Listen, let me make it really, really simple. Pay attention, lads and lasses…this is a 54-year-old son of a bitch telling you what he knows. If you're older than me, piss off, and let me know how your 401(K) is doing, because mine never included tending to a special needs kid who will outlive me by 50 years. So you think YOU have problems?
Bullet list, in my personal pecking order:
Write a fucking book. Sounds easy, but isn't. Takes weeks, months, years. Be dedicated. Be thorough. Be able to push on past the fallacy of "writer's block", which is the code name assigned to your circumstances when you think you want to write, but instead want to watch America's Got Talent or maybe check out PornHub and see what's new. Nothing autobiographical in that last example, I guarantee. And if that isn't sufficient, I plead the Fifth. I never knew about that rogue porn server, honest!
Get your work edited. Seriously, if you can afford to hire an editor but don't, you're fist-fucking yourself in the ass without lube. I learned this the hard way with The Gathering Dead, where I depended on my own editorial skills to see me through. I got very, very lucky here—the story I told was apparently strong enough to make most folks see through the maze of typos, illogic, and general asshattery that went on in the early drafts. Yes, a full-on edit of this morass of gonzo wordology cost me a thousand or so dollars, but in the end…it was worth it. Now recall, I make six figures at the outset. This means I can afford to piss away money on editorial expenses. For those who can't, don't release your work right away. Have it read. Not by your mother or your boy/girlfriend, but by people you trust to give you honest-to-God feedback. In the days of CompuServe, which my dear friend and occasional co-author Derek Paterson will recall most fondly, these were called "That's Nice Dear" critiques. Meaning, these were offered by people who were afraid of offending you. Avoid these, they only prolong the agony.
And keep in mind that just because D.J. Molles managed to put out works that were ridden with typos, inaccuracies, and a Special Forces Hero™ who always got his ass beat and made the worst calls in history but still managed to score big sales, doesn't mean that you will. More likely than not, you'll be wondering why you make $3.42 every month.
Just ask my pal Jarret Liotta. Even my name on the cover of Dead in the City of Angels wasn't enough. Sometimes, the story sucks, and you need to know about that before you release it. Personal experience here, folks…personal experience.
Get a real cover. Listen, I pay over a thousand bucks for most of my covers. My wife shrieks at that, but this is the first thing that people will see. Make an impression. And that impression doesn't include whipping something up in PowerPoint using some image from the web and calling it a day. Sometimes, you have to pay it forward, and with covers? Dudes…pay it forward. Please. Because while no surveys have been conducted about home-brew covers, I'm operating under the presumption that they're about as well received as Hillary Clinton's home-brew email server. Which was probably running Exchange Server 5.5 in plain vanilla format, without even the benefit of ESMTP/TLS. (Though due to Bryan Pagliano's limited immunity to prosecution, we'll never know which best practices table was followed.)
When you think it's ready for release…it isn't. I came into this with a backlog of stories. City of the Damned was accepted and paid for by two publishers before ranks changed, new editors and marketing people came on board, and it was eventually tossed from the slots. I got to keep the advance money (Oh, an amazing 5,000 bucks!) because I wasn't the defaulting party, but it still left me high and dry. My agent(s) got to keep their commissions, and after taxes, I was about $3,000 ahead per sale. But the book wasn't published, meaning my champagne dreams and caviar wishes were once again deferred. But COTD had already been edited, so it truly was ready to do. The Gathering Dead? Not so much. I uncaged that one early, and have the poor reviews for it. Don't be a dick like I was. Sit on your multimillion dollar, sure-fire best seller for a month or so and go over it with a fine-tooth comb. You'll be amazed at what shakes out after a couple of rereads. "What, you don't like that Hansel and Gretel go down on each other? You think there's a problem there?"
Yeah, things like that.
Writer's Block Doesn't Really Exist. This is, like, the biggest whiny-bitch excuse to get around writing. Yeah, as I type this, I should be finishing up These Dead Lands: Desolation. Or Earthfall 2. Or the prequel to The Gathering Dead, titled Whispers of the Dead. But I'm not, so is this writer's block at work? No, writer's block is actually the sissy millennial's way of getting out of work. But here I am, actually writing something as opposed to watching Magnum P.I. on NetFlix. Writing is a solitary profession, and it involves periods of the long, hard slog through your own mind and the desolate landscapes it presents. This is part and parcel of the job. Just do it, and save the excuses for another time.
Sometimes the story you came up with sucks/isn't that awesome. Listen, this happens to all of us. I'd hoped for a major career change with Charges, a story about a guy with no special skills who manages to survive a mass EMP event. I happen to think it's a damn fine story, because it's one that average folks might be able to relate to…if they happened to be emerging from a skyscraper on Billionaire's Row after the lights went out forever. While I still have enough hope for Charges to continue on with the series (next book is called Marauders and the third is called Ravagers), I'm smart enough to correct past mistakes going forward. (Look for an emphasis on action, and less on Navel Gazing, which I cover below.) And the fact of the matter is, I shot myself in the ass the moment I decided on the storyline. As someone who's read his fair share of post-apoc stories, I know instinctively what the readers want to see: the maligned survivalist who's at long last proven right when the hammer falls, and has to lead/defend/establish his new community in the next age of mankind. It doesn't matter if the hero is a sixteen year old who suddenly, inexplicably, has all the depth and experience of a Marine with 35 years of service as a senior NCO or if he's just a Joe with a bunch of guns and a gut full of fortitude down Fort Sam Houston way—at the end of the day, people don't want to read about some New York City liberal who manages to get lucky, even if his back story is well-rounded and plausible. They want a hero who's prepared to take on the new America.
Reread the above paragraph and learn from it, my erstwhile padawans. Sometimes, genre determines the outcome, not the author. You might actually be adroit enough to spin a tall tale that runs counter to consumer expectation, but unless your name is Cormac McCarthy not only will you be spurned, people will hate the fact you forgot what an apostrophe is.
Enough with the navel-gazing—get on with it! Sometimes, we as authors find ourselves confronted with a set of circumstances that require a lot of back story. Back story that, in the end, never becomes meaningful in the context of the story we want to tell. This results in boring text. And boring text has been typified by the oracle of writing, Elmore Leonard, thusly:
"Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip."
Yes. This. If you've written something long and convoluted and oh so priceless to your character's development which he/she doesn't actually do but only recalls in reverie, get rid of it. Then go see your doctor for a shot of antibiotics to ensure you aren't carrying boredomitis with you for the rest of your life.
Now, if this can be sketched in a paragraph or two, then drop it in. A couple of paragraphs becomes motivation. If it waxes on for page after page—my personal standard is two, unless it's a gritty flashback like the Afghanistan scene in The Gathering Dead, which illustrates the gulf between McDaniels and Gartell—then cut it out, or figure a way to distill it down to its bare essence. This is one of two areas where legacy publishing beats the tar out of self-publishing. The legacy guys know how to get a story moving. Well, mostly. Unless they're editing a story by already-mentioned literary lion Cormac McCarthy, then they have to wrestle with the whole apostrophe-versus-Chicago-Style-Guide checklist maelstrom, which I'm sure had a lot of heads hitting desks over at Knopf-Doubleday.
This item ties in neatly with the following one, which is:
Get to the fucking point. You have a lean, mean story to tell, but you keep slowing it down because you've been infected by that disorder known as Purple Prose. Listen, really…who gives a good God damn that the draperies in the New York City penthouse apartment are wrought with actual gold filament? Who lives here, Hugh Hefner? And if so, what the hell is that crusty old fossil doing in New York City anyway, do they allow 8,000 year old Viagra patients to travel? Here's a great example of what not to do:
It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
That's, like, one fucking sentence. Even Roger Zelazny wouldn't have churned that out (or would he?). Become close friends with Our Pal The Period and his slutty sister, The Comma. And at least check in every now and then with their dumb cousins, The Ellipsis and The Em-Dash. You never know, they might actually prevent someone from returning your book and cursing your name in their final epitaph.
Research is fun, but it's not writing. This actually ties in to #1, but I've been drinking and didn't think to add it up there. However, in a last-ditch bid to put off going to Alcoholics Anonymous, it's also important enough to call out on its own. While I know and follow this rule, others don't. There's a guy I know, smart fellow, very up on what's happening in the world, who wants to write a book. He keeps sending me fiery bon mots about what this character backgrounds are, what this plot point would be, how awesome that scene could play out. And mostly, he's right—he's got some solid stuff going on, stuff that I'd be writing right now. Literally, everything is laid out except for some bargain-basement mechanics that could be straightened out in twenty-four hours.
But instead of writing it, he keeps sending me more little tidbits about the book that still hasn't happened. "Hey, did you know that X in this circumstance could result in Y? I should put that in my book!"
Why, yes. Yes, you should, you fucking jerkoff, except you're apparently too lazy to get to writing that book you're talking about.
In this instance, I transcribed one of his scenes to my Blackberry (My Blackberry! Oh, the humanity!) and showed it to him. He read it and said, "Hey, that's my stuff! I mean, it's written pretty well and the words are all different, but that's like, my stuff! Right?"
My response: "Yeah, it was six months ago. Guess what, it goes in my next book, and you don't get shit. I figured since it's been all talk up to now, that it's free for the taking. So, really man, thanks for giving me $25,000 in first-month royalties for free. Love you, bye."
Now listen, I'm actually not going to do this. Like I said, I have roughly eleventy-billion ideas already—I don't really need to crib from someone else. But my aside had the desired effect. The dude is now writing, as opposed to researching and playing a bunch of "what-if" games. And I wish him well, he has some dynamite scenes out there in his head, I hope he can distill them down to a linear format that eventually finds its way to one kick-ass post-apocalypse book.
Don't do this, people. Don't sit around thinking about something and never making it happen—this obviously has a larger context in life than writing a damn novel. Know a hot girl/guy you want to ask out? Plan the approach, then execute. Have a few grand in a bank account but are waiting for just the right moment to enter the equities market? Listen, Brexit was your cue, so if you missed it, get in now anyway. Saw a job opening but your resume isn't fresh enough to make an impression? Get that stuff squared away RIGHT NOW, and that means stop reading this page.
Because really…research, plotting, contemplating? None of that is writing, and writing is where the money is.
Oh my God, this book sucks—I can't release this!
Ah, the bane of every writer. At least, every writer who has managed to progress past #4.
So you've written 30,000 40,000 100,000 130,000 words over many months and many revisions. It's been read, reread, proofed, edited, and proofed again. The prose is tight, the story is dynamite, and the characters and their motivations are solid. But you're ridden by fear. What if it tanks? What if no one likes it? What if I get bad reviews? What if it charts at #4,389,000 like that shitty zombie novel Dead in the City of Angels by Stephen Knight and Jarret Liotta?
There's a line in a famous novel that I like to quote in circumstances like this:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
Written by Frank Herbert in his science fiction masterpiece, Dune.
Alternately, I could offer up this sage advice from Scott Wolf, who in Army Special Forces was given one of Herbert's honorifics from the same novel—Muad'Dib:
"Stop being a fucking pussy."
It should be noted for those unaware, that Muad'Dib was described by Herbert thusly:
"Muad'Dib is wise in the ways of the desert. Muad'Dib creates his own water. Muad'Dib hides from the sun and travels in the cool night. Muad'Dib is fruitful and multiplies over the land. Muad'Dib we call 'instructor-of-boys.' That is a powerful base on which to build your life, Paul Muad'Dib, who is Usul among us."
(The above should be read in the terse, husky voice of Stilgar.)
Both quotes basically take you to the same place. You've done the work, now let it run free. If it loves you, it will come back. If you're lucky, it will come back towing a huge duffel bag full of money and the admiration of thousands, including pictures of nubile Tennessee girls flaunting their wares delivered directly to your email account. More possibly, it will just come back smelling really shitty like it's rolled around in an open sewer outside of Shenzhen, China, and you should examine it for used condoms clinging to its matted fur before allowing it in the house. But either way, you'll have to own up to it. Writing has never come with a warranty or a guarantee of any kind. If it did, we'd all be making millions.
And we're not.
Keep the faith, brothers and sisters. Write, and keep writing. Success may not find you, but if it does, it will have done so only if you provide the world with the gift of your words. If not, if you only think about writing but never do it, then I can only offer the following (paraphrased from Sydney Poitier in the flick A Piece of the Action which I saw in 1977 in a theater in a black neighborhood of Akron, Ohio):
"What you're talking about here is masturbation. It feels good, but generates nothing."
So at least keep your happy sock handy. And use far less parentheticals than I did in this missive.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to SFC Ballantine trying to figure out how he's going to handle Diana Li in These Dead Lands: Desolation.

Quick Excerpt from The Last Town 5: Fleeing The Dead
As the fair desert hamlet of Single Tree, California completes its fortifications and the townspeople await the legions of the dead, Detective III Reese and his LAPD and National Guard comrades still have to find a way out of Hell Angeles. To set up this excerpt, the group has been forced out of hiding and are trying to make to the Santa Monica Pier. In the middle of the day. While driving around in a very noisy but durable National Guard five-ton truck.
Not the most stylish of rides…but it does get the job done.
As the civvies took their positions, Reese got up and turned, facing outward, his rifle already shouldered. Plosser had been right. Ahead, a gaggle of several dozen stenches lurched toward the truck, drawn to it like bees to honey. Bates was apparently eager to hasten the meeting, and he pushed down on the throttle. The five-ton truck obliged by accelerating toward the stenches. Even though they were facing down an object whose flight they hadn't a chance in Hell of altering, the zombies surged forward. The faster ones picked up the pace, hurrying to their own end.
The truck didn't even slow down when it hit the first wave, plowing right through the six or seven runners that charged the vehicle. When it hit the main body of the dead herd, it began to rock from side to side; not because of the mass of dead bodies braining themselves against the truck's extended bumper and winch, but because of the squirming corpses that were being crushed beneath the truck's forty-something inch tires. Reese had to hold on tight to prevent himself from being hurled over the side.
"Oh my God," Marsh moaned, before vomiting over the side of the railing.
"Crap, Detective—you gonna be like this on the boat?" Thanh asked.
Marsh made to respond, but his reply was transformed into a gurgling roar as he vomited again.
"Attaboy, Marsh!" Plosser said. "Give them just what they're looking for: a nice, hot lunch!"
The Last Town 5: Fleeing the Dead, the second to final entry in the serial, should be out at the end of the month or in early July. Stay tuned, as always.
Live From New York…
…it's The Retreat 4: Alamo!
This just went live on Amazon, folks. So if you'd like to get your crazy, demented Klown on…you know what to do!
THE RETREAT 4: ALAMO Excerpt
Heading your way around the third week in June: The Retreat 4: Alamo. The battalion is rolling hot once again as it leads a mass of evacuees, dependents, and fragmented military units toward the rumored reconstituted safe zone of Florida. Craig DiLouie is back at the helm, and he's in fine form this time, let me tell you!
As always, the below excerpt is offered without any guarantee that what you read here will be in the released product, etc., etc.
Route 180 cut through trees and farmland. As it topped a rise, Corporal Sandra Rawlings saw the convoy strung out ahead of her through a brown haze of dust. Dozens of vehicles and trailers, hundreds of soldiers, thousands of civilians. A farmhouse burned in the distance, surrounded by fields trodden into mud. From here, the retreat looked more like a rout.
The Humvees and trucks crawled along the road, overloaded with wounded and children and gear. The Trailblazers scout platoon and Alpha Company, Captain Hayes's hard chargers, formed the vanguard. Then Headquarters under Jane, with Echo, the logistics company, under Johnston, and the mortar and medic platoons. Charlie under Sommers, Delta under Perez. Marsh's Bravo Company, which had gotten decimated during the kamikaze attacks in Philly, had been placed in the rear with the civilians and what was left of the Pennsylvania Guard's 56th. Later, they'd be integrated. If there was a later.
Everywhere, people coughed on the dust in the afternoon heat of this, the last dregs of summer. Babies cried. Gear clattered. The vehicles snarled and coughed exhaust. Otherwise, it was a subdued march. They'd come nearly two hundred kilometers out of Philly, through Gettysburg. They felt sickened and numb, even the hard cases, even the big hairy Sergeant Muldoon, who seemed born for a war like this.
Rawlings remembered first meeting her squad, these lightfighters of Company B. Before that, at Harvard Stadium, she'd been a leader; the boys there had been so shell shocked, they'd all but given up, but rallied to her mothering. These 10th Mountain guys, however, had seen her as a leaf eater. She'd proven herself—not by any single heroic act, but simply by covering her sector and shooting straight—and when they looked at her now, they often forgot she was NG, a Nasty Girl.
They'd changed since that first time she'd met them and they'd tried to intimidate and impress her with their barracks routine. Gone was the grab-ass, the macho posturing, the dumb jokes, the bitching. They were starting to look like the lost boys of Harvard Stadium, which worried her. They didn't talk about how they missed KFC and beer and PS3 and going to football games, the comforts of home. They were home, what they called the Home Front, and it was filled with blood. They missed everything. They missed the ones they loved. The world didn't make sense anymore. They were supposed to do the fighting and dying while their loved ones stayed safe. Now here they were, safe for the moment, while so many people they knew were probably dead or cowering in some government stronghold.
Rawlings felt the same guilt. She remembered getting called up in Beantown and reporting to the Muleskinners, a logistics unit with the 164th Transportation Battalion, Massachusetts National Guard. Boston was falling apart from the horrifying epidemic. Everybody thought once the civilian governments had pulled their heads out of their collective ass and unleashed the military, things would get back under control. The Army held the line for a while, but only a while. Every day, the gunfire got a little louder, a little closer. Every day, things got worse.
Boston's major arteries had been closed off to civilian traffic and used as super lanes for troop movements and logistics. Day and night, the Muleskinners hauled supplies all over the crumbling city. Then one day, a five-ton broke down on the Massachusetts Turnpike, near the Big Dig. The convoy pulled over. Lieutenant Spaulding set up a security perimeter while the gearheads got to work. The Muleskinners shared cigarettes and sweated in their combat uniforms. Rawlings popped a fresh stick of gum in her mouth and chewed like she wanted to kill it.
A group of police officers appeared at the fence and looked down at her. Some wore riot gear. About thirty in all. They'd come out of the Mass Pike Towers, a low-income housing project. One raised his hands and waved frantically over his head, making Rawlings stiffen. While she stared back at them, they began climbing the chain-link fence and loping down onto the highway. They glanced over their shoulders. Wherever they'd come from, something bad had happened.
"Sergeant," Rawlings said. "We got company. Some kind of trouble."
Lieutenant Spaulding was already jogging toward them. Sergeant Nance sighed at the sight. "Look at her go. Wonder Woman to the rescue. Like we need this shit. We got a schedule to keep."
Rawlings heard Spaulding ask, "What do you guys need?"
"Christmas," a cop said and cut her in half with his shotgun.
Rawlings swallowed her gum. "They're crazies!"
"Shit!" Nance said. "LT! Shit! Loonies!"
The cops tore into their outfit with a joyous cheer. The officer who'd killed the Lieutenant grinned at Rawlings, sweeping his finger across his throat. She raised her M16 and fired a three-round burst, missed, and fired again. The man fell to his knees laughing, smoking pouring out of his chest.
They're cops, she remembered thinking. This wasn't supposed to happen. It couldn't be happening. But it was.
Nance dropped without a sound, half her face gone. One moment, she was a human being shouting orders, the next, a falling sack of lifeless meat. Everywhere, people screamed, others laughed. Rifles popped. Rawlings fired again at a charging figure. Something blurred in the corner of her eye; her mouth exploded in pain. She reeled, spitting blood and splinters of teeth, as a gorilla in a bulletproof vest swung his baton again with savage glee, ringing her helmet like a gong.
She fired on reflex. The bullet entered his right eye, bounced around, and shot the mess out the back of his skull. Then she blacked out.
She awoke in Harvard Stadium, her friends dead, her unit destroyed. Two weeks later, she'd been forced to kill another friend, Private Scott Wade. Six weeks after that, she watched another good man, Jeff Carter, die.
So much horror and death, yet she lived.
Rawlings often wondered why.
In the distance, bodies dangled from a dead power line. The battalion hadn't seen a Klown—short for Killer Clown, the nickname the lightfighters gave the laughing infected—in days. She wondered where they all went. The fields here had been trampled flat. A massive army had passed through this place.
Marching next to her, Muldoon nudged her shoulder. "You okay?"
Rawlings stared at him. Was anybody okay?
"You're okay," he told her.
Unlike the other Bushmasters marching with their heads down and their shoulders clenched, the big NCO walked easily. He'd shrugged off the horrors of Philly days ago and was back to his old insufferable self. He was doing okay. He was doing just fine. The sergeant seemed at home with all this. A true survivor.
Despite all the affection Rawlings felt for the man, she hated him right then.
"Our earnest and intrepid Colonel Lee has gotten us this far," Muldoon said, loud enough to be heard by the whole squad. "We'll reach Mount Weather soon. Corporate Nutter will grab his balls and tell the President he didn't vote for her."
Nutter said, "Is that an order, Duke?"
"Ramirez will drink his Mexican ass stupid. Donegal will bitch about something. Make that everything. Garza will somehow get the clap."
"Hooah, Sergeant."
"And Cline will look for the nearest gay bar."
The squad burst into laughter, earning them worried glares from the people around them.
Sparta 3-1, this is Sparta, over, Muldoon's radio buzzed.
"Go for 3-1, over."
Knock off the laughing. Now. Over.
Now Rawlings joined in. Laughing felt dangerous but good.
Muldoon said, "Just boosting morale, Lieutenant."
You're killing everybody else's. Gonna give somebody a heart—
"Negative contact, Sparta. Say again, over."
What the—? Wait, one.
"Train!" somebody cried.
Rawlings stiffened as a flurry of panicked screams rippled through the civilians. She looked across the helmeted heads of Bravo and saw a civilian with a scoped hunting rifle standing on an RV.
"Train," the man repeated. "There's a train coming!"
More Evolutionary Coverness (?) for THESE DEAD LANDS: DESOLATION
First off, a correction for a previous post on this topic. Below is one of the alternate covers that was presented of Hastings bailing out onto the train. Wolf and I discarded it, not because it's bad or anything, but just because it wasn't sufficiently dramatic. It is good work, though!
Now, back on topic. We already agreed upon a format, and the next revision Marc sent to us is below:
Good stuff, but the main character seems a bit out of scale, and unless the Chinook is drifting sideways, he's kind of away from where he should be. Another guy was added, blasting away at the dead. But Wolf's major problem with this: the stars on Old Glory aren't right. But as you may remember from this earlier iteration, it's generally all sorts of good.
Marc's latest revision…
…has a different sky, a modified aspect, more guys, guns, and zombies–and oh yeah, Hastings actually kicking the head off a zombie. That was an unexpected surprise, and if he can get enough brackish gore in there, it'll be perfect! Flag modified, our crew chief is whipping out the pistol, and some neat-o spark effects thrown in for good measure. Wolf approves, and so do I, so this is the launching pad for the final.
Now…if only I could deliver my pages so Mr. Wolf can start his slice…😀

Giving S.M.A.R.T. Feedback to Millennials
Thu, 2014-12-11 10:16
Article by Karl Moore
Many managers today don't relish giving feedback. In the past, feedback was associated with the annual review, a thoroughly unenjoyable hour where everyone involved couldn't wait for it to end. Today with Millennials as the future of our organizations, feedback is more central to the role of manager than ever before.
