Keeping it really weird panel! #yalit14 pic.twitter.com/JQaliwMS2m
— Paula J. Gallagher (@paulajgal) November 16, 2014
There's nothing better than a crowd of librarians and authors to remind me how lucky I am to be in this line of work, and to inspire me to keep on writing and earning my place among this bunch.
This past weekend, Austin hosted the annual YA symposium of the Young Adult Library Services Association. I participated in the Saturday evening Book Blitz — in which authors seated behind stacks of publisher-donated books get blitzed by librarians snagging their share of signed copies — as well as a Sunday-morning panel discussion including (left-to-right in Paula Gallagher's photo above) Jonathan Auxier, Lisa Yee, Andrew Smith, moderator/organizer/wrangler Kelly Milner Halls, Bruce Coville, and Laurie Ann Thompson.
It's going to be a full week, as I'll also be speaking at the Indiana Library Federation's annual conference — Shark Vs. Train is a winner of the Young Hoosier Book Award — and then reading Attack! Boss! Cheat Code! at a Barnes & Noble back here in Austin.
If you're interested in hearing me talk for, oh, 27 minutes and 59 seconds, but won't be making it to either of those events, I'm happy to offer a third option: this podcast interview that author Jason Henderson recorded with me last week. Enjoy!

Lisa Yee is the the award-winning author of many novels for children, including Millicent Min, Girl Genius, which won the first Sid Fleischman Humor Award in 2004.
You might also know her because of her famous pal, Peepy.
|Lee Yee works the room.
The crowd is playing a game with Lisa Yee: Name That Line. After reading through well-known first lines and trying to name the title, the room now goes through, choosing their favorite three, and thinking about why they chose them.
Here's a sampling:
"All children, except one, grow up." ~ Peter Pan
"There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife." ~ The Graveyard Book
"If your teacher has to die, August isn't a bad time of year for it."~ The Teacher's Funeral
First lines are very personal. They sets the tone for your story. With that line you're giving a clue as to who is telling the story.
There's no formula for the perfect first line. Lisa likes to think of first lines like food. They can be an appetizer (a bit of a taste or a tease), an entree (nice and meaty), or dessert (really lovely and delicious). A first line needs to wet the appetite.
Check out Nancy Pearl's Book Crush to find lists of things in books for kids/teen, like great first lines. You'll find the first line of Millicent Min, Girl Genius included in that list of great first lines.
Here it is:
"I've been accused of being anal retentive, an overachiever and a compulsive perfectionist, like that's a bad thing."
Definitely worth of that list.
What makes a great last line?
If your first line is the promise of the story, your last line is the payoff.
When you write your last line it can be helpful to know what you are writing towards as your draft.
Don't ignore that your you have first and last lines within a book. Pay attention to those too, like the first and last lines of a chapter.

The Hispanic Division and the Center for the Book of the Library of Congress will honor Sonia Manzano for The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano (Scholastic) with the America's Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature by the Consortium of Latin American Studies Program on Monday 23 September in Washington DC.
First Book made headlines this past summer when they targeted purchases from two publishers to increase the availability of diverse books for young readers. After distributing books from HarperCollins and Lee and Low around the country, First book has announced the second phase of their program.
So what's next for First Book? In June, the group unveiled at the Clinton Global Initiative America the planned next phase of the project, a "Commitment to Action" that includes outreach to 30,000 new schools and programs, special collections of diverse and multicultural titles, matching grants for educators, and an influential council of authors to help inspire new books and stories.
In the past few weeks, I've noticed a growing dynamic in the demand for diversity in characters and authors in YA lit. Sure, it may be just another phase that the industry is experiencing, but I feel a real commitment from the individuals who are speaking up. They're making statements that express concerns and beliefs they live with all the time. School Library Journal recently held a virtual conference "Embracing Diversity" which resulting in an article full of diversity resources.
The mosaic on Elephant Rag blog is a great place to find new books that reflect the world around us.
From authors Kelbion Noel and Zetta Elliott
Everyone deserves to see themselves in the pages. That's what Diversity Reads is all about. Allowing youth the opportunity to enjoy speculative fiction featuring characters who look and deal, just like them. The non-profit is introducing a quarterly series, featuring multicultural authors of speculative fiction works, featuring main characters of color. Stay tuned for an event near you!
Their first event, "Black Magic" is in Toronto on 21 Sept.
Author Carole Boston Weatherford visited the Brown Bookshelf to discuss her book, Birmingham 1963 which pays homage to the four girls who lost their lives in a church bombing 50 years ago.
Lisa Yee is publishing on Paper Li. STET, Good Books and Bad Dogs and Outer Space Stuff is brought to you daily.She's much better at that than I am! I have a weekly publication but all I news I manage to collect comes from YALSA. I'm working on it!
Author Cynthia Leitich Smith will be presenting a Graphic Novel Writing workshop in Austin on 5 Oct. To prepare for this event, her blog recently featured an interview with her conducted by Samantha Clark, Austin SCBWI's regional advisor, Why did she take her Tantalize series to graphic format?
The Tantalize series struck me as a great fit for graphic format. The books are genre benders–Gothic fantasies with strong elements of romance, mystery/suspense and some humor. They're high action, rich in setting – an alternative Austin; Dallas; Chicago; small-town Michigan; Montpelier, Vermont – and offer diverse protagonists and visually arresting creatures (angels, vampires, werearmadillos).
Me? I'm working at the reference desk today! I'm looking forward to my first visit to Rose Hulman's library this week to hear a speaker that's part of the Muslim Journey bookshelf on which we've partnered. And, I'm reading reading reading for BFYA! With regards to BFYA, I'm really excited to have identified several ways to distribute the books I've been receiving. Of course, some have been going to the Indiana State University library! Advanced copies have been going to area teachers for their classroom libraries. Others will soon ship to the Boys and Girls Club of Burbank and in March I hope to distribute the remaining hundreds to school libraries here in Indiana. Thanks to a wonderful suggestion from Suzanne Walker, the Children's Librarian for the state of Indiana, I'm planning a mini-grant program to send the books to the neediest libraries in the state. Hopefully, I've found a way to get it funded as well!
You?!! I hope you have a fantastic week and that your favorite team wins, unless they're playing the Colts!

Head on over to the main PaperTigers website to read our new interview with the wonderful Lisa Yee and find out about the background to some of her best-selling books.
After having my emotions wrenched between tears of laughter and genuine weeping during Lisa's presentation at Serendipity 2012 in Vancouver earlier this year, I came back to the UK laden with her books. Older Brother, Younger Brother and I have been hijacking them from each other ever since – and it's just as well I've read them as Younger Brother will bring a character matter-of-factly into conversation while I now have the necessary knowledge to do the mental somersault towards the fictional identity of this "person". So if you don't yet know Lisa's books, I can thoroughly recommend them for you and any middle-grade/YA readers you know. In the meantime, head on over to our interview to find out more…

One day a year he is Santa Claus, but the other 364 days Dan Santat works as a children's book writer and commercial illustrator. He is also the creator of Disney's animated hit, "The Replacements."
Dan has written and illustrated his own books and books by other writers. His new graphic novel, SIDEKICKS came out in July and he has another wonderful picture book coming out this month that is written by Jill Esbaum titled, Tom's Tweet which is a slapstick funny story that pays homage to the selfless act known as parenting. All in all Dan has written and/or illustrated nineteen books.
He graduated with honors from the Art Center, College of Design and lives in Southern California with his wife, two kids, a rabbit, a bird, and one cat.
For all you writers and illustrators who have wondered, what is the best way to develop and present a graphic novel, you are going to love this post.
Dan takes you through his process on developing his new graphic novel about SUPERHERO PETS!
Captain Amazing, superhero and savior of Metro City, is getting old. He's out all hours battling arch-villains, catching thieves, and helping little old ladies cross the street. He doesn't even have time for his house full of pets. He needs – a SIDEKICK!
Captain Amazing's four pets agree. But each one of them thinks HE should get the sidekick spot – and a chance for one-on-one time with the Captain. Get ready for sibling rivalry royale as pets with superpowers duke it out for the one thing they all want – a super family.
It began with a simple painting. Back in art school I took a class where we had to do a series of paintings that revolved around a theme. At the time I thought I wanted to go into the animation field so I decided to work on my character design skills and flesh out simple ideas of animals doing silly things. Towards the last month of the course I painted an animal super hero, which I called The All-American Beaver. The idea of a super animal really intrigued me and so I decided to paint another superhero animal. The next week I followed up with a painting of a cat who could generate large amounts of static electricity with his fur which I properly named Static Cat. Even though the term had ended before I could explore more possibilities I was suddenly obsessed and wanted to create more.
As I was sketching the characters over and over again I really didn't think of a solid storyline until I had sold the manuscript to my editor. All I knew for certain was that they were all starving for attention and wanted to compete for the affections of their owner to find out who would be the favorite house pet of the house. In my mind I originally thought that Fluffy would be the leader of the group. He was going to be this arrogant loudmouth who wanted to just be bossy and give orders to everyone so he could wear a costume and be famous. Roscoe was the young naive kind hearted softie with massive strength (Think Lennie from "Of Mice and Men")

But it wasn't on purpose.
She was just talking about the story she wrote for the DEAR BULLY anthology due out next month.
Her entry perfectly illustrated the importance of creating dimensional bullies: characters who have wants and needs, and who have reasons for harming those around them--getting as specific as identifying the day our antagonist was hurt badly enough to want to hurt others.
So, yes. Tears. But also lots of laughs as she walked us through the paces.
|Lisa Yee
And then we identified our favorite literary villains. Lord Voldemort, we love to hate you. The British press, meanwhile, really loves to hate Satan. They identified him--and not Camilla Parker Bowles (kidding! she's real!)--as literature's foulest villain. Which, when you think about it, seems kind of stereotypey.
We moved on to some key definitions:
A bully is a person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker.
"Bully" started out as a good thing, she mentioned. Over the years, the definition morphed and it changed.
A villain is a person guilty of capable of crime or wickedness.
That word, she said, is French. A villain worked in the fields in a time when everyone wanted to be a knight. When bad things happened, they blamed the farm people. "A villain did that." Mon dieu!
An antagonist, who could be a bully or a bad guy, is a person who actively opposes or is hostile to someone or something.
"Your antagonist in your story is going to be working against your protagonist," she said.
She shared with us seven story archetypes we writers use, from "man vs. himself" to "man vs. society," and we came up with examples of stories that fit each archetype.
Then she walked us through a couple of writing exercises: one in which we outlined a variety of characteristics we'd need to know about our antagonists (everything from their age, outward appearance, self-perception, wants and needs, as long as one word that best described them). We used that as the basis for a revealing paragraph about our antagonist.
My favorite part, and not just because I played a teen thief, was doing a Q&A with participants to figure out the characters' backstory and motivations. We then wrote a murder scene from three points of view--a third person, and first person from both the teen thief and her rich-lady murder victim. The effect was stunning. By having well developed characters with clear motivations, we ended up with richer writing that was more nuanced and compelling.

Yeah. I thought it was an Onion headline too: Werner Herzog reads potty-mouthed bedtime audiobook. I think that's overseas, though. Here in the U.S. we got someone else.
That's a good headline. This one's not bad either: Children's author ejected from plane for bad language. Strange thing is, it says the fellow in question (a New Yorker) has a book for kids due out this August. Can't find any evidence of this on Amazon, though. Hmmmmm. Thanks to Jennifer Schultz for the link.
- Author Lisa Yee recently came to town for BEA. While here, she met with a veritable TON of folks, including myself. For an image of me balancing a Peep on my once massive belly, her blog is the place to be.
- I love the Twin Cities, particularly when their schools offer fun free courses for kids on making their own books. Thanks to Monica Edinger for the link!
- She's not particularly well-known here in the States (she's best associated with her book, The Gruffalo, and it's recent Best Animated Short nomination at the last Oscars) but Julia Donaldson is now the official Waterstone's Children's Laureate in the U.K.
- Twitter rumor: Due to a recent exchange between Neil Gaiman and Adam Rex, it sure as heck sounds like Rex has illustrated a book by Gaiman with a target audience of 2-year-olds. I am now officially a gossip columnist, am I not?
- Love the idea. Bad Ideas for Self Promotion. Particularly the one concerning celebrity endorsement. Well played, Charise Harper. Well played, indeed.

Lisa Yee: On Revision...
It was standing room only for Lisa Yee's session on revision. Lisa started out by talking about her first version of her novel Millicent Min, Girl Genius which she said was "episodic and weird." In her next version, 11-year-old Millicent was in college, but editor Arhtur Levine suggested Lisa explore a version in which the main character interacts with kids her own age. She continued to revise--and what was constant through each revision was her character.
There was a show of hands to see who loved revision and who hated it. Those who love revision, Lisa said, often love is so much that they can't stop themselves. Those who hate it can't get started.
Lisa, who is currently revising a work-in-progress from first person point of view to third persion, said she she can fall so much in love with her writing that she doesn't want to cut any of it. But when you look at your work, she says, ask yourself, "If I had to cut my story by 20%, what would I cut? She said that generally her first three chapters can be thrown away.
One tip she gave was taking your document and making a copy of it, changing the font, adjusting the margins just slightly, and making it look like something someone else wrote--this can help you look at your story in a different way. She also suggested reading your manuscript out loud as you revise to hear words in a different manner than reading it silently. Also circle what you think is really great in your story and that becomes your standard to adhere to.
For revise-a-holics, she suggests setting deadlines for yourself, or have your writers group set them. This way you can force yourself to write to a deadline and write on a schedule.
Finally, she recommended everyone check out the radio program Bookworm on KCRW featuring an interview with Tobias Wolf (there are two--try the fiction one) in which he talks about his writing process--he just keeps cutting.

Everyone, it's time for some whistles, cheers, and big time whoops!!
Today, we are celebrating the official release of Absolutely Maybe (Arthur A. Levine Books, 2009), penned by the one and only Lisa Yee! Woo Hoo!!
ABSOLUTELY MAYBE by Lisa Yee (Arthur A. Levine Books, 2009),
Young Adult, 288 pp.
That's right, the former Miss America and author of the wildly popular Millicent Min, Girl Genius; Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time; So Totally Emily Ebers; and Good Luck, Ivy!, has written a funny, touching young adult novel about 16-year-old Maybe (short for Maybelline), who hitches a ride from Florida to California, where she discovers just what she is made of. Phew! This book is coming out just in time; ever since I finished Good Luck, Ivy!, I've been suffering from serious Lisa withdrawal, simply wanting more more more from this Sid Fleischman Humor Award winner.
Anyway, Maybe's life is pretty tough. Her mom, who goes through men like Kleenex, takes her scuzzball boyfriend's side after he tries to rape Maybe, so she's left no alternative but to run away from home. She takes to the road with her friends Hollywood and Ted, hoping to find her real father, whom she thinks is a famous movie producer.
After they get to California, her friends get in the groove right away. Hollywood, who's been accepted to the USC film school, starts working on a documentary, and Ted finds a job and moves in with the famous Gloria de la Tour. This leaves Maybe to fend for herself. She is traumatized by the idea of babysitting triplets, stops for some tacos (my kind of book!), and ends up working at Taco Truck #4, where she proves to the owner and herself that she's capable of creating some pretty awesome stuff.
What else? Finding her real birth father is not as easy as she thought it would be. She does meet her former stepfather and his girlfriend, but is hurt and betrayed when she sees Hollywood's documentary. Who are her true friends? More importantly, if she's not the charm school beauty queen her mother wants her to be, just who is she? There are many life lessons to be learned for this determined, spunky, resourceful main character who eventually comes into her own -- Kool-Aid dyed hair and all. It promises to be a great read!
Now, in honor of Lisa, put on your sunglasses, grab a taco, and slurp some souperstar soup. Oh, and have your peeple call my peeple.
Today's Special: Glitterati Gumbo (guaranteed to induce delicious fantasies
of Brad and Colin, maybe).
Absolutely Maybe may be purchased through IndieBound or your favorite online bookseller. What are you waiting for?

Scholastic did a series of wonderful interviews with Lisa that are not to be missed. It's totally cool hearing about all her books and her writing journey.

I'm standing next to Marjetta Geerling, Alex Flinn and Mindy Weiss. Marjetta wrote Fancy White Trash and signed my copy with a fancy pink pen. She told me YA doesn't have to be depressing and she was right! I read her book, loved it, and saw positive themes throughout the novel even in the midst of serious subject matter. Alex Flinn is the author of many books and the recipient of many awards. Go Alex! Mindy is a Blueboard friend and it was nice to meet her in person.
The great Lisa Yee! What can I say? I loved Millicent Min! Don't let Lisa's small stature and cuteness fool you--she's sharp as a razor and really funny (very quick texter, too).
Gaby Triana worked behind the scenes for months to get the conference going. Not only is she the author of several award winning novels and a nice person to boot, she's hot, too!
Donna Gephart wrote As If Being 12 and 3/4 Wasn't Bad Enough, My Mother is Running for President! My daughter snagged this book from me when I got home and she loved it! Donna and I had exchanged a few emails before the conference, and I was eager to meet her. She is a warm and caring person, and I love her for that.
I had a blast hanging out with Debbie Reed Fischer. She introduced herself as a military brat like myself, and said we had much to talk about. The author of Braless in Wonderland and Swimming with Sharks, Debbie is quick, funny, and just as pretty as the models she writes about.
This is what it looks like when children's writers party! Kimberly Lynn constructed all the decorations, and she did a fantastic job!
I miss Miami! I spent a year there when I was 17 and still remember so many things about it I liked, the main one being that it wasn't my hometown...
This too is one of the perks of being an author -- meeting other authors! It sounds like you had a great time.
Wow, that looks like a great time. How did I miss the Miami SCBWI Con?!
Well, I was at the NYC one. And I'll definitely be going to the one in LA so I can meet some of my crit partners.
Glad you had a good time.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sending me the pix! I'm so glad I met you and your book is wonderful in every way. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read your next one. Hope to see you in Orlando in June. :) xoxo deb Love your blog!
Great photos. Thanks for sharing.
Is that what you call a "Babble" of Writers?"
Great pics! I live in FL and I've never been to Miami. Must go. :)

Lisa Yee gems:
If you've ever been to Red Lobster, I wrote the menu. Crispy Golden Fries? That's me.
Hey, a menu is a story: beginning, middle, and end.
Lisa said that she was working on a book, sure that the main character was 11. She morphed into being 12. And ultimately, telling the story that needed to be told, the character ended up being 17, and the book was a YA.
Arthur's advice to Lisa back then (and now):
Just write the story it needs to be.
In all the genres, the difficulty is letting go of the anxiety of what you percieve to be the rules of the form.
Lisa chimed in on that - she had a character who was a run-away, and her first instinct was that the character would swear a lot - the percieved rules of the form. But then she realized that her character DIDN'T swear a lot.
Linda Sue:
I want to write a story, and the best story I absolutely can. When she wrote "A Single Shard," she thought it would be an adult book.
When I write my novels, I don't know where it's going to be shelved when it's out.
And they shared so much more great advice and insight!

Since Sid wasn't able to attend, Arthur A. Levine graciously stepped in. Arthur read Sid's contribution for this panel, including these gems:
Most our lives are sequences of scenes - and in this respect, art is like life.
Emotion is common to all genres.
Without emotion to touch us, one is left with typing paper.
Linda Sue Park:
Still, today, when revising my novels, there are several run throughs on the language level, in which I revise my novels like a poem.
She even goes through the draft one time during revisions, focusing solely on where the period falls - like in poetry!
She writes poetry in the fallow times between novels.
Her first picture book was adapted from a poem she had written thinking it would be for an adult poetry collection.
More on this great panel to come! Hey, people keep coming in - it's standing room only now!

Bobby vs. Girls by Lisa Yee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book may appeal to my fifth grade students for the mere fact that it is a story where the boys go up against the girls, which always seems to be popular. But the fact that Bobby, the main character, and his friends are only in the fourth grade may turn off some of my fifth grade students who seem to think they are so far away from fourth grade. (Even though they are not.) The story itself though is perfect for a third or fourth grade student.

How can books I loved as a child remain popular, when society changes so quickly? Nobody had cell phones or internet when I was in elementary school. So how can books written at that time still appeal to today's kids? I believe the books that stand the test of time have unique characters readers can relate to, cheer for, and fall in love with, combined with situations that kids still have…like annoying siblings, school issues, fights with friends, and trying to see where you fit in our world.
I blogged about this on the Mixed-Up Files...of Middle-Grade Authors site today. I'd love to know why you think some middle-grade books remain popular for over thirty years, and which current books you believe will become timeless. Hop on over and see which book I believe will become timeless, and find out what amazing authors like Lauren Myracle, Wendy Mass, Bruce Hale, Laurie Friedman, and Lisa Yee think about timeless middle-grade books.
Don't forget to check out our second summer giveaway, where one lucky reader will win these three fabulous middle-grade books:

Mallory Goes Green by Laurie Friedman (hardcover)

Her speech was so funny, modest, and inspirational, I caught up with her by email after the conference to ask her additional questions. Here's what she said.
Q. How long did it take you to write your first novel and how many drafts did you do?
A. It took me over six years to write my first novel and I probably wrote twelve bijillion drafts. Maybe more. Actually, there were so many drafts that I lost count. I do know that I wrote three entirely different novels, but kept the main character each time. The final version ended up being MILLICENT MIN, GIRL GENIUS.
Q. What do you think made the difference in making it good enough to be published?
A. I was so stressed out about writing well, that I forgot how to write at all. Everything I did was so self-conscious. It wasn't until I approached the book as if I were writing email (where I don't think at all, I just write), that I found my voice and gained confidence.
Q. What's the one piece of craft advice that changed how you approach a novel?
A. I think it was Stephen King, in ON WRITING, who said that you should approach dialogue like gossip. That is, something you want to overhear.
Q. What do writers starting out now need to know and remember as they start on the path toward publication?
A. I often hear writers say that their goal is to be a bestselling author. That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself. Your goal should be to write a good sentence, a good paragraph, a good page . . . and eventually a good book. It takes time, so remember, small steps.
Want to know more? You can catch up with Lisa Yee at her web site or via her blog.
Thanks for the inspiring interview. It's good to know that someone so successful took so long to write and revise her first book like me. It gives me hope. And she has an awesome editor--Cheryl Klein.
I LOVED her keynote at the conference--just sad I didn't get a chance to meet you guys. :( Great interview!
Lisa is so right - its baby steps all the way. What a terrific post!
Approach dialogue like gossip--I like that :-) Also like approaching writing like you would drafting an email. Thanks for the interview!
Great advice about relaxing. I've fallen into periods of self-consciousness, where I feel nervous about writing--and, predictably, it sounds terrible. I have to concentrate on getting back into my normal mode of just writing for the joy of it, and really getting into what I'm writing. Forget the critics, the agents, and the publishers while you're writing!
Lisa is always inspiring! Thanks for sharing,
I loved this interview, because Lisa so real about her writing process. I also liked that idea about dialogue being gossip.

Guess who came to the local-ish American Girl store the other day?
None other than Lisa Yee! She wrote the latest Girl of the Year Books about Kanani, a Hawaiian girl. She also wrote Millicent Min, Girl Genius, and the subsequent stories relating to it. Oh, and also, she's awesome. Add to that a few kids who are both American Girl and Lisa Yee fans, and you have the ideal day trip!
Lisa is from California, so it was great to get to see her on our coast! Here she is with the Dubois girls. Amazingly, she is still smiling after having met with approximately five thousand (mostly) little girls, with another thousand still to follow.
Poking around in the American Girl store, we couldn't help but notice that our pal Mary Beth's new book was on the shelves there, too! Check out the Paper Shaper Forest Friends, a make-it-yourself book of adorable animals in MB's signature style.
Yes, Millie thought you should see what the back of the book looks like, too!
I bought some stylin' shoes while we were there, too.
Doll shoes. Unbearably cute saddle shoes!
They do not fit me. But so help me, I will find the ideal miniature feet for them to fit on.
It's a shame we don't have any cats anymore!
Great photos, Liz! The girls look beautiful and you can tell they had a great time at AG with Lisa Yee.
You have such a fabulous family — so fun meeting everyone!!! (And your husband was such a good sport to hang out at the American Girl store!)
woohoo! That is just great for Miss Marybeth! It all certainly looks fun…wish i had girls instead of boys
What a great day that must have been! And it's so awesome that you say MB's book there too.
Sooooo cooool!!!!!!

We found out that Lisa Yee was going to follow up her American Girl signing with a signing of her latest book at The Blue Bunny. I have been wanting to check out this store for quite a while, so it was the perfect excuse to head up to cute, old town center in Dedham Mass.
The Blue Bunny is the brainchild of author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds. I have a lot of respect for his philosophies and work, so I expected that the store would be a great blend of toys, books, art, and fun. And it was!
Here we are with our friends the Sheas, who came up from CT for the signing.
Seriously, for me as a toy designer and a children's book creator, it doesn't get much better than this! The children and adults who were there that day seemed to agree- it's a grand place to explore.
According to Lisa, ours was the very first copy of her new book, Warp Speed, to be signed. WooHoo! The book is about a Star Trek geek (there might be a couple… a few…OK, FIVE Star Trek fans in our house), so it was a must-have addition to our nearly complete Lisa Yee library. She's such a great writer- and just the kind of role model that you want your kids looking up to.
I got to hold Peepy! She's clearly a girl. And we both were rockin' the stripes.
Lisa's back in sunny California now, but we are glad to have seen her here on the East coast. We will certainly be back to The Blue Bunny- and if you live in these parts, check it out. You won't be disappointed!
Hey, Liz! Your family looks wonderful and colorful. I love how you all celebrate books together. And I think Lisa Yee is so cool.
Miss you!
What a great store! I hope to check it out some time.
So great seeing your family twice in two days! And it was so cool to sign a hardcover or WARP SPEED for the first time!!!!

If it only took craftsmanship to make a haunted house movie, "The Changeling" would be a great one. It has all the technical requirements, beginning with the haunted house itself. It's a vast Gothic pile somewhere near Seattle, with staircases winding up into the gloom and a hidden door to an attic room where a child's tiny wheelchair moves by itself.
George C. Scott plays the man who moves into the house. He's a composer who recently lost his wife and child in an auto accident, and he's come to Seattle to forget the past. He rents the big old house because it has a large music room. But the house turns out to be a little too well furnished: It has a piano that plays itself, doors that open when nobody's there, and a habit of waking him up with loud thuds.
Scott begins to suspect something is wrong (you do not have to be a quick study when you live in this house). He consults the local historical society, and is informed by the society's staff crone that people were not meant to live in that house. More stuff happens. An old music box in the attic room plays a song Scott composed only that morning. There's a nightmare vision of a child being drowned. The house ghost identifies itself at a seance.
All of these developments are handled with a great deal of skill by director Peter Medak, an interesting filmmaker whose credits include the insanely eccentric "The Ruling Class." Medak is a little too fond of wide-angle shots (his choice of lenses makes all the rooms look wraparound), but he takes a good, basic approach to the haunting phenomena. This is a scare movie with taste.
And yet, halfway through the movie, admiring the craft of the seance scene, I found myself wondering why I didn't really care what happened. And, as an admirer of George C. Scott's acting, I found myself thinking the unthinkable: That Scott wasn't creating a character I was really worried about.
That's because the Scott character is almost always self-possessed. He's the kind of man who can return alone to another haunted house after dark, climb down into a forgotten well where the bones of the original ghost have been found, and rummage around for more clues.
He's too impassive. Maybe that was a deliberate acting choice, with Scott declining to indulge the tradition of overacting in ghost movies. And maybe, then, it reveals a need on the part of the audience for at least a little overacting, a few sweaty histrionics to cater to our childish scare instincts.
"The Changeling" does have some interesting ideas, especially one involving the present-day identity of the man who benefited from the long-ago death in the house. And it has two absolutely sensational shots, one looking down into the abandoned well from a teenagers cozy bedroom, and the other looking back up from the well.
But it doesn't have that sneaky sense of awful things about to happen. Scott makes the hero so rational, normal and self-possessed that we never feel he's in real danger; we go through this movie with too much confidence.
"It's a madhouse!"

Very nice and simple motel unit made especially pleasant by a) lovely owners b) home baked breakfast goodies and c) it's location. Although only a couple of miles physically away from the touristy Kennebunks, metaphorically it is miles and miles away - and all the better for it. Lovely quiet location next to some fantastic and simple food options.
The units are somewhat small but functional. Clean and presentable are the name of the day. No noise could be heard from other units and looking at the other clientele they seemed a discerning bunch.
A little gem - plain, simple & honest.

New Vermont distillery to produce vodkaOctober 15,2012New Vt. distillery
to produce vodka
WINDSOR Vermonts newest distillery is planning to produce a line of vodka made from locally grown grains from local farms.
American Crafted Spirits plans to begin operations in Windsor in December.
Peter Jillson, the companys CEO, said the $1 million distillery will use corn, wheat and rye for its products.
He said his first product will be called Silo Vodka, and that hell later expand to gin, flavored vodka and brown spirits. The vodka initially will be sold in Vermont, and later in New Hampshire and Maine before being marketed outside the region.
The distillery is being built in the Windsor Industrial Park across from Harpoon Brewery and the Vermont Farmstead Cheese Factory.MORE IN This Just InMore than 26,000 people were without power when severe thunderstorms rolled through the state in... Full Story

NEW YORK -- David Wright spotted shortstop Jose Reyes wincing during a throw from the outfield grass to first base during the seventh inning Saturday. So the New York Mets third baseman summoned manager Jerry Manuel from the dugout.
Manuel then pulled Reyes from the game against the Atlanta Braves with the lingering effects of a right oblique injury. The shortstop won't attempt to play again until the Mets resume action Thursday in San Francisco after the All-Star break.
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal will replace Reyes on the National League All-Star squad, although Reyes plans to attend Tuesday's event in Anaheim, Calif., and be in uniform. It marks the second time in Reyes' three All-Star selections he will attend but be a spectator. He also was forced to watch the 2006 game in Pittsburgh from the dugout because he was recovering from a sliced pinkie that required seven stitches.
"David is one of the guys who knows me better than anybody else here," Reyes said about his longtime teammate. "He said, 'I can tell on your face that you don't feel too good.' And they took me out of the game.
"It's been bothering me [in] everything that I do," he said of the injury. "I'll just try to back off a little bit and try to rest a little bit and see what happens in the next few days."
Said Manuel: "When I went out, I asked him, was it sore? He said it's a little sore, but he was fine to play. He kept saying, 'Hey, I'm OK. I'm OK.' I just decided the best thing was to take him out."
Reyes had been scratched from a June 30 game in San Juan against the Florida Marlins after feeling discomfort on his right side during batting practice. He returned to the lineup six days later. As a concession to the injury, the switch-hitting shortstop has since only batted from the right side during games.
Reyes underwent an MRI exam on Friday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, which the team announced came back clean, including for a potential rib cage fracture.
"The doctor said sometimes the MRI doesn't show what you have there. This is a tricky injury," Reyes said. "At least it's not a stress fracture."
Mets officials have insisted Reyes could do no additional harm by playing through the injury.
Still, the decision to allow Reyes to talk his way into the lineup because of the magnitude of the series against the first-place Braves contradicted this year's stated emphasis on conservatism when treating injuries. After a rash of injuries in 2009 -- including Reyes getting rushed back from a right hamstring tendon issue and having continued false starts -- the Mets went so far as to post "Prevention & Recovery" signs throughout the clubhouse this year to emphasize the importance of cautiously treating injuries.
Had the Mets placed Reyes on the disabled list at the time of the injury in San Juan, he would have been eligible to return for the second-half opener in San Francisco, which he's now targeting anyway in a still-injured state.
Manuel and Reyes both insisted starting Reyes the past four games with limitations was not a mistake or imprudent. Manuel noted team doctors have suggested he could do no additional harm. The manager added that even a limited Reyes was a better option than rookie Ruben Tejada, who replaced Reyes in the seventh inning and is in a 1-for-22 rut.
"It wasn't a mistake, because I think I feel like I can play," Reyes said.
Said Manuel: "I don't know if anything can heal while you're playing, but I don't think we have any major setbacks because he did play. I think, if anything, it's kind of breaking some things up in there for him. He's been a little cautious. He's been down these roads before. But he's OK. He'll be fine."
As for the All-Star Game, Reyes said he's committed to traveling to Anaheim. He already has flown nine family members from his native Dominican Republic to New York, and has plans to send them to the event.
"You have to do what's best for this team," Wright said about Reyes' All-Star Game withdrawal. "The All-Star Game is great. It's fun. It's a tremendous honor. But it's about this team. It's about these guys in here.
"I talked to him, and he was in some pain. To get to where we need to get, we're going to need him healthy in the second half."

Ten Years On
Happy Birthday Knoppix 6.4
Ten is a fair age for a Linux distribution that doesn't have massive staff resources to back it up. Klaus Knopper looks back with a sense of satisfaction after just having compiled version 6.4. As a tribute to the community, this version includes only free software.
When the Knoppix 6.0 CD hit the repositories in 2009, users had many reactions: "Back to the command line?" "I always said Unix was an operating system for geeks." "Help, my computer's talking to me!" What had happened? Klaus Knopper had simply set the talking Adriane menu for visually impaired users [1] as the default boot menu, which confused the majority of sighted users.

Error with switchable graphics
Product number: Dv7-6070ca (LP473UA)
Operating System: Windows 7
Changes to Operating System: I have talked with Hp support assistants in the past and have been told to a full restore to the date that the problem has happened I have done twice
I have to graphics card in my laptop a Intel family graphics card which is okay for basic use and a ATI Radeon 6770M. However I can't switch graphics cards and am stuck with my intel card but it over heats when playing games most of the time and Its annoying that I have only have the ability my computer has available to me.
Now then I have downloaded and tried all of the updates suggested here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategor
I have contacted HP tech support in the past and I keep getting passed on and told that I have to wait for an update to come out in order to fix this problem. (If you wish I can try and find my old transcripts for you ) So my question is when is the BIOS update coming out or how can I fix this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Why Mainframe Folk Should Care About Web 2.0
MartinPacker 11000094DH Visits (2871)
I presented a set of (someone else's) foils on Web 2.0 to my team meeting last week. (Interestingly, being 6 months old they were already way out of date - what with Twitter and all.)

When Good Work Doesn't Go To zIIP / zAAP Heaven
MartinPacker 11000094DH Visits (2477)
Whenever I talk about zIIPs and zAAPs I'm reminded of Zip Zap miniature radio-controlled cars . But (to get past the censors I have to say) zIIPs and zAAPs are not toys. Here's an extract from a post on MXG-L that Bernie Pierce made. (I reproduce it with his kind permission.)
