Red reigns as Valentino readorns itself
When they formulated plans to renovate the Valentino's South Coast Plaza boutique, the creative directors of the Italian designer brand were aiming to create an intimate atmosphere. Last week, that's exactly what guests encountered as they mingled shoulder to shoulder at a private party celebrating the store's reopening.
Red was the theme of the evening, with the new Rouge Absolute Signature Collection – a customizable, all-red collection exclusive to Valentino's West Coast retail boutiques - taking center stage. Customers can choose from charms featuring the letters of the alphabet and symbols such as a skull, a star, a peace sign, an ampersand and a heart.
Harper's Bazaar executive fashion and beauty editor Avril Graham, who flew in for the occasion, highlighted some of her picks from the spring/summer collection: iconic rockstud pumps (available in many permutations, including a killer red camo Swarovski crystal-embellished version), the long-strand necklaces with astrological signs meant to be worn double-looped (this was given by the Harper's Bazaar editorial staff as a gift to their editor-in-chief) and her $3,300, animal-patterned, cocoon-esque coat that she deemed versatile enough to be worn with an evening gown or dressed down with a T-shirt and pants.
Valentino ready-to-wear is all about drop-dead elegance, so it needs an environment that showcases that aesthetic. The 2,300-square-foot boutique features a contemporary design that Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, creative directors at Valentino, developed with architect David Chipperfield. Configured as an enfilade that starts with a room for accessories and ends with a room housing ready-to-wear, the boutique's interiors feature luxe materials such as gray Venetian terrazzo with Carrara chippings, American walnut, marble and leather.

|[jira] Created: (COCOON-1864) RepeaterJXPathBinding - order of row is inverted
|Fri, 16 Jun 2006 07:50:29 GMT
RepeaterJXPathBinding - order of row is inverted ------------------------------------------------ Key: COCOON-1864 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1864 Project: Cocoon Type: Bug Components: Blocks: Forms Versions: 2.1.8, 2.1.9 Reporter: DennisDam I found a bug in the forms block of Cocoon 2.1.8 / 2.1.9. I found that putting a min-size / initial-size attribute on a repeater element in the CForms model, inverts the order of rows upon binding the form. So for example the input document looked like: <document> <row>a</row> <row>b</row> <row>c</row> <row>d</row> </document> and my repeater model element's intial-size was set at 3. After transforming the forms template with the forms transformer, I see the following field instances (pseudocode): <field>c</field> <field>b</field> <field>a</field> <field>d</field> So what happens? The JXPathbinding for the repeater inverts the order of the elements with index < initial-size! I traced this bug back to the org.apache.cocoon.forms.binding.RepeaterJXPathBinding class, where I found the following code snippet in the doLoad() method: while (rowPointers.hasNext()) { // create a new row, take that as the frmModelSubContext Repeater.RepeaterRow thisRow; if (initialSize > 0) { thisRow = repeater.getRow(--initialSize); } else { thisRow = repeater.addRow(); } I changed this into: int currentRow = 0; while (rowPointers.hasNext()) { // create a new row, take that as the frmModelSubContext Repeater.RepeaterRow thisRow; if (currentRow < initialSize) { thisRow = repeater.getRow(currentRow++); } else { thisRow = repeater.addRow(); } and now the binding works correctly / like I want it to work :). I must note that I do NOT use an identity in my repeater binding declaration. But I think it would be logical that leaving out the identity element should result in preservation of the order the elements occur in the input document. regards, Dennis Dam -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Rex Chisolm, PhD (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: This book reviews the current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms responsible for signal transduction in a variety of eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms as well as Drosophila, C. elegans and Paramecium. It consists of 16 current reviews by the leading researchers in the field.
Purpose: By providing reviews of a variety of signal transduction systems in model organisms amenable to genetic and molecular genetic manipulation, the authors hope to stimulate students and investigators interested in signal transduction process in higher systems. Because the model organisms represented in the reviews in this book have produced many important new results and insights into how cells sense their environment, this book has a good chance of contributing to this goal.
Audience: This book is intended for investigators interested in microbial systems as well as for students and investigators interested in the broad question of signal or sensory transduction. The book largely succeeds in this regard. The reviews are generally by leaders in the field, but they are easily accessible to students and postdoctoral fellows.
Features: This is an attractive and readable volume. The book makes good use of figures and diagrams to aid in understanding concepts presented in the text. Because the reviews are reasonably current, the cited literature is current though about mid-1992. In general, the appropriate papers are cited and this book should serve as a useful jumping off point for people interested in delving into the primary literature. The table of contents and index are also useful tools for finding topics of interest.
Assessment: This book should be quite useful. It would serve as an excellent basis for a graduate course in signal transduction in model organisms or as part of a course on signal transduction. It would be a valuable addition to any medical or science library, not to mention the personal libraries of graduate students and investigators interested in signal transduction.

Resolving Conflict in the Workplace
Unresolved workplace conflicts represent the largest reducible cost to any organization.
Is your business or organization conflict competent? Conflict competence requires the ability to manage anxiety and make deliberate choices to address differences constructively and productively.
Offering your employees a confidential, external, non-adversarial process through agree2agree can be the difference between resolving conflict and the risk of costly litigation. More importantly, providing this option indicates that you value your employees and are dedicated to maintaining a healthy and respectful workplace culture.
According to Daniel Pink, author of the New York Times Bestseller, DRiVE, three things motivate people: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Every respectful and successful workplace provides an environment that supports these intrinsic motivations as essential for its employees to thrive.
Importantly, the inability to resolve workplace conflict through internal means does not equate to weakness or reflect a personal or organizational defect. Resolving conflict is dependent on the context and dynamics of a situation. Simply stated, in many workplace situations, employees involved in conflict are often concerned that those internal to the organization may have biased perceptions of the situation. Retaining a conflict resolution professional external to the organization will alleviate such concerns.
Published at the Society of Human Resource Management Association (SHRM) website on June 19, 2016:
"Create a culture of kindness. The [EEOC'S] Select Task Force recommends two new forms of training intended to cultivate harassment-free workplaces. "What we learned from academics and investigators is that if one does what's called "workplace civility training"—a very skills-based training on how to be respectful—that can help [employers] avoid harassment on the basis of protected characteristics," Feldblum said."
"To be effective, 'you need training that is live, in-person and customized to your workplace,'" Lipnic said. "You need someone who understands what your workplace is.'"
– See more at: https://www.shrm.org/publications/conference-today/pages/eeoc-harassment-task-force.aspx#sthash.kXpYPNR0.dpuf
"Ultimately, it appears that the most important thing for maintaining a solid base of employees and team members is to create a fair, collaborative workspace in which people feel like their immediate work matters."

Research Confirms
- on average, every employee wastes 3 hours a week on conflict (multiply this time by the hourly wage to determine the direct cost to the business);
- managers waste an estimated 8 to 16 hours per week on workplace conflict;
- up to half of all voluntary turnover may be directly associated with workplace conflict; and
- between legal and other fees, the cost to the business may well exceed more than $100,000 per employment dispute.

RadioShack to Shutter As Many As 1,100 Stores
Article Comments 37
Mar 4, 2014, 8:17 AM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
RadioShack reported its fourth quarter earnings today, and revealed that it plans to close twice as many stores as initially forecast. The company said slow foot traffic, heavy promotions, and weak smartphone sales during the holiday season led to a quarterly loss of $191.4 million. The company had warned it would close about 500 stores to cut costs, but has now doubled that number to 1,100. The closures will leave RadioShack with about 4,000 stores still open in the U.S. RadioShack is in the process of updating both its image and its sales strategy with a focus on electronic entertainment devices. It sells devices from AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless.

Great friendly and helpful employees. Would have been nice to have breakfast included in the cost of the room , i.e. Hampton Inns.
Hotel staff was friendly, room was clean and comfortable, and the cookies were delicious upon check-in and check-out. I wish the room would have had a bathtub/shower combination, but it only had a shower. The ice machine on my floor was not working properly, but they sent someone up promptly to fix it. The only real complaint that I had was that I was double charged for my stay. I was charged once through my booking site and again at the hotel. I still haven't received my refund yet.
Every worked well for us. Needs refrigerator in rooms.
Loved the central location. Staff friendly. Clean. Great cookies. Shower curtain smelled like mildew. Wish beds were queen, instead of double.
Pay extra for parking. Should be included. This is the highest priced hotel in town.

Pentagon's 120-Member Wikileaks Task Force Prepares for New Document Dump
To handle unredacted names in Wikileaks' Afghan War document release in July, the Pentagon set up a 120-member Information Review Task Force. Now they're worried about Iraqi informants in the big upcoming leak: "Maybe no one's name will be released."
The new set of documents from the Iraq War, which are low-level reports of violent incidents across the country over a span of several years, are said to total some 400,000 pages in all and will be released soon. And the Pentagon is preparing itself in the event that Wikileaks does not redact the names of Iraqis who have worked for, or have had any sort of contact with American forces in the country. "We are prepared to take steps to notify people named in the documents," one Pentagon official told the Wall Street Journal. "There are a lot of names [in the documents]. We can't chase every single person. And we have to see what happens. Maybe no one's name will be released."
We'll soon see how Wikileaks founder Julian Assange goes about his latest noble deed. He's surely got his hands full after losing his spokesman, oh and that pesky rape case that won't go away. Hopefully he's at least had his people take the time to redact the names of Iraqis whose lives and families could be in danger.

Skip to comments.Not what you'd expect from Woody Allen
Posted on 08/07/2012 8:16:43 AM PDT by pjd
The latest Woody Allen movie is so much not what you would expect from Woody Allen, I have to post this little commentary. I don't know if he suddenly had an epiphany or something, but I was totally blown away. Heavy spoilers follow...
Ok, early on he starts criticizing his daughter's new Italian boyfriend whom he refers to as a Communist because he is a pro-bono lawyer, union supporter, etc. Woody's movie-wife says that he used to be like that. He says, "Yeah, when I was younger, but I was never a Communist. I don't even like to share a bathroom."
Anyway, as the story progresses, Woody makes more and more comments related to "What's wrong with success?" Meanwhile, the left-leaning boyfriend is progressively shown in a negative light while Woody's pro-Capitalism stance is continually championed.
By the end, the left-leaning boyfriend has to admit that he was wrong and apologizes. It was unbelievable! It was the first time ever, that I've seen a comedy in which the right-leaning character is not a straw-man and mocked throughout the story, but instead, it is the self-righteous liberal character who is portrayed that way.
So, I'm just saying...This is a really, really, really funny Woody Allen movie. OMG. I was laughing so much. It pokes a lot of fun at liberalism and liberal society and supports a more right-leaning perspective. Totally not what you would expect from Woody Allen. so I'm just sayin'...
Gosh! I forgot to post the title of the movie. :To Rome with Love".
I would have to receive a direct order from G-d to see a woody allen movie...and free transportation and ticket from same.
Woody musta grown up.
He's in long pants, now.
"Maybe he's had a discussion with his accountant? "
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
I liked Midnight in Paris, but I was glad to see Allen in this one. His neurosis is usually not duplicated by the lead actor in his movies. And aren't they all him living vicariously though them.
One non-political one on the plane "I don't do turbulence."
I know what Allen comments will come here and deservedly so, but I have been addicted to his movies for a long time.
Maybe he likes money more than he likes his values?
People can see the light but I wouldn't bet on it until I saw further proof.
I so loved Allen's earlier movies. IMHO, they were genius. Then he got weird and serious. And marrying his stepdaughter didn't help.
Why do so many brilliant people throw everything away?
Sounds a lot like "One Two Three".
Everyone jumping into bed with strangers turned me off.
Utter fiction: No self righteous liberal twit has ever apologized, especially for their misguided political beliefs.
I couldn't separate the movie from the movie-maker and viewed the whole thing as a disgusting rationalization of his own messed up personal life.
The whole time he was making his movie, he was sleeping with Mia Farrow and their daughter! And in the movie, he's pontificating on his themes to Mia Farrow, who's blissfully unaware how close to home his blather and rationalizations really are.
So, if he's looking to come aboard on the right, I'd rather pull up the gang plank.
Maybe he can cast Morgan Freeman in his next movie.
Loved it. Also the Kardashian skit/theme where people are deemed by media (and "everybody") as being famous because they are famous. Like Rush pillories President Kardashian (no substance, all hat-no cattle).
The movie also features a ton of very beautiful women and great scenery.
I wonder how genuine Woody's sentiment is and I wonder if other wealthy individuals with long-standing (albeit, blind) allegiance to Liberalism will themselves see and FEEL the frightening depth and dimension of this 'institutionalized theft' that "O" is putting into place.
More than likely he knows he has the liberal followers and is now trolling for the conservative dollars.
All dialog and plot devices point inexorably to the wisdom and correctness and desirability of his character.
No Woody Allen script has ever deviated the slightest from the above. There is no self reflection and no character growth - other than the 'growth' of the other characters into recognition of the wisdom correctness and desirability of Woody's character.
I wouldn't have time for a Woody Allen movie even if he didn't molest his stepdaughter and the sister of his children.
He must be sleeping with an 18 year old Republican.
Great line! I think I will
steal borrow it.
His movies in the 1960s and 70s were goofy fun but marrying his step-daughter kind of ruined the Woodman for me. But thanks for the review, I would never have guessed.
Maybe it is true, then—the Ancient saying-—Wisdom only comes with Age.
As Communists always note——so everyone stays ignorant and hates their parents and has no respect for them-—Never listen to anyone over 30.
Conditioning to think old people are fools, is the opposite of what both Socrates and Confucius stated. Experience will produce Wisdom-—if one is willing to open their mind up to Knowledge and study. Growing in knowledge is a daily thing.
BTW, the genius of our Founding Fathers was extraordinary because of their young age——I read that somewhere. Their thinking was profound considering their young ages—Madison particularly. He was requesting the latest books of importance from Jefferson who was in Europe at the time-—anything new on political thought or philosophy. But back then, people didn't have TV and Bread and Circuses like they do now (agitprop) to take them away from acquiring knowledge.
Note: The very LATE date of entering a "school". Independent thinkers do NOT go to an indoctrination center before the Age of Reason-—that was Dewey's influence (Fabian Socialist) who wanted to shape the "plastic minds" of the masses and get them before their Christian Foundation was laid and away from the influence of loving parents-—so they are emotional cripples and self-conscious about everything.
Look at Abe Lincoln-—how easily he was swayed by "group think"-—HA! No school than a few weeks when he was around 8.
"Group think" is the result of the Prussian system of education the Socialists designed for Germany which was dragged to American Schools (and Russian)-—along with Marxist curricula (moral relativism) by Dewey.
If it was an epiphany that Woody had-—it is a true belief in God. That is all which will make him Wise.
I detest Woody Allen movies. Last one I watched some of was Midnight in Paris not knowing who the director was. Once I saw one of the long drawn out scenes with cheesy music off it went.

I just visited Rotten Tomatoes. Not one review, and I read about ten, mentioned this aspect of the movie. The flick seems to have generated more negative than positive comments.
I LOVED Woody Allen's early movies. I HATED his later movies. I am disgusted by his relationship with his stepchild/wife.
Having said that and being dragged to see his last movie, I split a gut laughing.Absolutely hilarious! This is the Woody Allen of old.
"I would have to receive a direct order from G-d to see a woody allen movie..."
Point taken. But if you are ever in the mood for a really funny and entertaining movie and not have to worry about having your political sensibilities insulted, keep this in mind.
Most artists are failures as human beings, unfortunately.
Glad to hear about the new Woody Allen movie ... the last few have not been that good.
The Once?
I'm stealing that.
I remember Eric Hoffer saying that given the very high mortality rate, poor nutrition, poor medical care, etc. ... people in ancient times (right up to the 19th century, when medicine improved) had a very short life expectancy. Forty years old was extreme old age. He said 'history was made by juvenile delinquents'.
The gratuitous Tea Party smears in 'Midnight in Paris' were a huge turn-off for me. I'm wondering if some adult didn't get to him over that and turn his head around, or if he thinks conservatives have short memories...
Someone must have told him - you can gross more than $10-$15 million in sales if you write for an audience outside of Manhattan dwellers.
Why do so many brilliant people throw everything away?
That is the question I have been asking my whole life. It is what makes me cry when I watch "A River Runs Through It."
I rather enjoyed Crimes and Misdemeanors mostly because of Martin landau.
One, Two, Three was a hilarious movie, with Jimmy Cagney doing a fine turn in a comic role set in Cold War Berlin.
More likely he's sick of his current aging liberal wife and has the hots for some conservative-leaning, younger beauty. New Yorkers like Woody Allen take sides when it suits their personal needs (sex, money, status, etc.), but not out of any principled stance. In the Manhattan-Hamptons fish bowl being a liberal usually gets you more "toys".
The Once...great!
"The Once"...great!
Not really. Some ages of the greatest minds in Western Civ. lived very long lives. (Western Civ. had an incredible advantage—in the beginning —because Greek language was perfect for expressing abstract ideas, also. )
There was a short life expectancy, yes-—but those who lived short lives hardly affected knowledge and ideas. You had to live long enough to be Wise and to write—or like Socrates—have others write your thinking down. (Jesus is an exception). Our Founding Fathers besides Franklin—were amazingly young—like Madison who was born in 1751. It was highly unusual. People like Nietzsche and Einstein showed incredible genius early-—but again, it was pretty astonishing and exceptional.
Pythagorus 75
Ptolemy 78
Sophocles 90
Socrates 70
Plato 80
Aristotle 62
Cicero 69
Marxists want you to THINK the young are "wise". They started making "OLD" people look stupid over 50 years ago (Conditioning/Brainwashing) (Archie Bunker) and making it so teenagers don't listen to "ignorant" parents—because they don't "know" anything.
That is what the Socialists did to the families in Germany—with the Hitler Youth. It was to keep children stupid and not learn from people who KNEW what was REALLY going on.
I didn't figure out what was going on until after 40. I was STUPID —not about pop culture—or child development-—BUT about ideology—why people think how they think? No Clue about Marxism, Liberalism, Progressivism, Theology=-—all the really important ideas that shape WHY you do everything. (Philosophy). No one teaches Aristotle anymore—The Father of Logic. Schools got rid of Classical education-—makes people rational—logical—they can debate ideas well.
The young are ignorant. (They are good for armies, but you need Patton's for genius). Confucius and Socrates thought you needed to be 30 before you really could "start" being wise-—you never had enough experience to know "reality" prior to that. Think of it. How wise were you at 20. I was SO incredibly naive. 30 was much, much better and I only got wiser the more I studied and interacted with more people. Time is crucial to Wisdom.
John Locke—Father of Classical Liberalism—72
Thomas Hobbes—91
Karl Marx 65
Machiavelli 56
William Wilberforce 73
Thomas Reid 85
Ben Franklin Independence he was 70 his death 84
Thomas Jefferson 83
John Adams 91
Samuel Adams81
Thomas Paine 72
Age is crucial to Wisdom. All history proves it. I left off many brilliant people but I am out of time. :)

The Cognitive Neuroscience of Aging: Linking Cognitive and Cerebral Aging
The Division of Neuroscience cosponsored this exploratory conference, which was held in conjunction with the annual Cognitive Neuroscience Meeting. Dr. Denise Park—a grantee of NIA—organized the conference, and 8 of the 13 speakers also were NIA grantees. Although there is an increase of studies that focus on the relationships between cognitive aging and cerebral aging, knowledge concerning the neural basis of cognitive aging has been based on two disciplines that have had little contact with each other. This conference's goal was to develop this area of the cognitive neuroscience of aging, while encouraging students and researchers to exchange ideas and discuss scientific issues. The conference's sessions included:
- Noninvasive measures of cerebral aging and their relation to cognitive aging
- Cognitive functions: age-related changes in neural activity
- Pathological brain dysfunction and rehabilitation
- Models in cognitive neuroscience of aging

I had a great time yesterday talking to a class at the University of Akron. The topic was Television & Politics, one I've spoken about before, but one that regularly offers new items for discussion. I went in with a handful of notes, tried to make the presentation more of a conversation than a lecture, found some students were willing to hold up their side of the conversation and realized that time was almost up when there was still plenty to talk about.
In fact, as time ran out, I found myself apologizing for not leaving more room for questions. And I later kicked myself when I went back through my notes and realized that I hadn't hit some planned points, including one I've made here more than once -- that the changes in TV technology are going to create information gaps in the audience, because not everyone can afford to keep up with the new tech.
But, as much as I talk about television with people I know, it's always good to encounter a new and different group and to hear their thoughts, even if those thoughts are focused on a specific subject. Sometimes I get column ideas from those conversations, but more often I get a renewed sense of pleasure about television, and thinking about TV, and so feel good about doing what I do.

On Tuesday, two NFL quarterbacks -- one with two Super Bowl rings and another with none -- spoke about changes regarding their team's offense.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo danced around questions regarding changes to the offense and refused to answer who will call plays, saying only: "I'm just the quarterback and I'm trying to get better and help this team."
Romo didn't answer if he asked for more input with the game plan.
"The older you get, you develop that a little bit as a quarterback," Romo said. "If you do some good things in the past, then that allows you to show that you can have a little more of that. That's part of the growth that takes shape."
Meanwhile in Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisberger also talked to reporters about changes to the Steelers' offense.
"There's been some changes this offseason in some of the offensive philosophies, playbook and some things that I think are good," Roethlisberger said, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "It's some compromise from all the different position coaches, the running back coaches, the line, and quarterback coaches. I think we've taken a little bit of everything and made it a lot better."
When asked if he requested the changes, Roethlisberger laughed.
"There were some things," he said.
Romo had a chance to take a similar stand Tuesday regarding his role with the team. Romo has always had input with the offense. After all, he's the quarterback. But Jerry Jones put him in a bind by talking about his increased role as if he never had one before.
I've always thought Jones was trying to justify Romo's new $108 million contract by adding these "duties" to Romo's responsibilities. The quarterback's time at Valley Ranch and his input with the offense might increase a little bit, but not much more than it's been in the past.
Romo had a chance to say this Tuesday. He didn't.

2010 Mac mini optical drive replacement and harddrive upgrade.
rylander -
My Problem
The optical drive had failed and I wished to replace the stock harddrive with a solid state drive.
My Fix
Perfectly. It was not nearly as difficult as it first appeared, but I certainly could not have done it without the guide, nor without the tools.
My Advice
Removal of the power supply requires that one lift slightly the tab through which its fastening screw passes. I had a heck of time getting the power supply to slide out until a realized this.

Sardines in Olive Oil from Brittany
La quiberonnaise

Wonderful Atlantic sardines
La Quiberonnaise only work with perfectly prepared, highest quality sardines. These sardines are aged for a year before being put on sale, to allow the fish to soak into the oil to perfection. The result is a gorgeously soft sardine without any scales or bones.
Did you know? Sardines improve with age as the oil in which they are canned soaks into their flesh. Like wine, really good sardines have their own vintage. If you are going to store them for a while before eating, you can ensure that they are kept in the very best condition by turning the tin over every six months or so.
These sardines were awarded 3 stars out of 3 in Gault & Millau magazine in 2001.

Kelly Clarkson's Boyfriend Makes Surprise Visit After Dog Drama
Kelly Clarkson received a surprise visit from her music manager boyfriend on Tuesday when he decided to lift her spirits after one of her beloved pet dogs almost died.
RELATED: Kelly Clarkson: I've Finally Found Someone
The "Since U Been Gone" hit-maker says she was heartbroken when her pooch Joplin was hospitalized for an undisclosed reason, but she had to pull herself together to perform a concert in Ohio hours later, and she's grateful fans gave her the energy she needed to get through the emotional time.
In a Twitter post on Wednesday, she writes, "I had the worst day yesterday because my little baby Joplin, one my dogs, almost died and I was a wreck. He is now at a vet hospital and doing better. Please say a prayer for him."

She added, "Thank you to all of my fans that came out last night to my Ohio show! Y'all are the best! Thank you for making my night better. You have no idea how much I appreciate it."
Clarkson's night got even better when her beau, Brandon Blackstock, hopped on a plane to be by his girlfriend's side.
She adds, "My boyfriend is a pilot and flew in to surprise me and be with me because I was so sad. He wins Best Boyfriend Award ... hands down. I'm very lucky he loves me so much."

lots of Wild Cards news
December 21, 2016
I have a new Wild Cards story up at Tor.com. "The Thing About Growing Up in Jokertown" is essentially a YA story, which I'm not sure has been done before in Wild Cards. I hope it's a fun read for people.
Lots more ahead for Wild Cards. Over on his Not a Blog, George has announced what we're calling the American Triad, exploring parts of the Wild Cards world outside of New York City. First up there will be Mississippi Roll, in which I have a story.
And did I mention there's a brand-new official Wild Cards website? This will be the place to go for news and awesome content, like the comic strip I did to commemorate writing my first Wild Cards story.
Kansas City Worldcon Schedule
August 15, 2016
At long last, here it is. Most of my stuff is concentrated on Thursday and Friday, but I'll be around all weekend. It's a big weekend: we're celebrating the launch of Amaryllis and Other Stories as well as the newest Wild Cards novel, High Stakes (I'm not in this one, but Earth Witch is!). I'm looking forward to seeing people with new books in hand!

event in Santa Fe next weekend!
July 18, 2016
Hey guys! Next week, we're having a big Wild Cards group event at the Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sunday July 24, 2 pm. I'll be there! So will George R.R. Martin and I think 19 authors total. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with everyone. There is a ticket fee — or, you can buy a book! There'll be plenty for sale and this will be an excellent opportunity to get as many signatures as possible. Check the event link there for details.
It'll be a zippy whirlwind weekend away for me, and the start of about four weeks of travel. I'm actually looking forward to it — many adventures await. I just hope I can get everything done this week like I need to, like revise my newest Wild Cards story, get my next newsletter out, vote for the Hugos, and so on, and so on…
And I'm so glad the new Ghostbusters film did well this weekend. Maybe we'll get more, now that the origin story is out of the way…
Hey! So it turns out the first of the string of Wild Cards stories I have coming out went live this week! "Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza" is up at Tor.com. Check it out! I've been wanting to do this topic for a while now: deal with the Wild Card virus being passed along through the DNA of victims — people who've inherited the virus rather than been newly infected, and what it looks like to have a family with a Wild Cards heritage. (Very rare, granted, given the fatality rate. But still, it happens.)
In other news: I made part of my niece's Halloween costume this year:
I'm thinking back to when my Mom made me a Wonder Woman costume when I was about 5, and it was all felt because that's what was available. Now, we've got gold lamé, sparkly stickers, all kinds of fancy fancy things to make costumes with. I'm wondering how much of the cosplay revolution is due to the availability of great materials — or if cosplay is driving the availability of great materials? I don't know.
Speaking of cosplay, I'm making a Thing that I hope to have finished by Mile Hi Con next week. I decided to try to adapt an existing pattern, and it's kind of kicking my ass — it's just ever so slightly beyond my skill set. Which I guess is good, because I'm learning something. We'll see if I can figure it out this weekend. If I can just get the collar to work, the rest will be cake. *rolls up sleeves*
NYC, Wild Cards, etc.
January 27, 2014
Before the book tour, I spent a couple of days in NYC being a tourist and hanging out with writer friends. I stayed in the East Village, and it wasn't until I got there that I realized I was just a few blocks from Jokertown in the Wild Cards universe, which is a chunk of the Lower East Side.
In fact, when I got home, I checked: in my upcoming story in the next book, Lowball (read a sneak preview of Lowball here!), Ana Cortez, Earth Witch, is living on East 5th Street, also very near Jokertown. This is near where I was staying, a block off 12th Street and 1st Avenue:
Totally in Ana's neighborhood! I'd never been in this part of NYC before, and it's one of those parts of the city that looks familiar and iconic — tenements with fire escapes, busy streets full of rushing pedestrians, funky shops and restaurants everywhere you turn. I had some great Indian and Chinese food, and kept looking over my shoulder for characters from the books to walk by.
I also visited the Cloisters, the Met's storehouse for medieval art and home of the unicorn tapestries, because I'm a medieval culture geek and I'd never been there. It wasn't until realizing I was staying in Ana's neighborhood that I also remembered that the big superhero battle in Wild Cards 2: Aces High, takes place at the Cloisters.
It was a gloomy, cloudy day, and I was very glad I brought my umbrella. Atmospheric, but a somber kind of atmosphere. I thought less about the scene in Aces High, and more about what it must be like in the Wild Cards universe to walk there thirty years after the big events. Would anyone even remember? Would the scars still be visible? Would there be a memorial? Maybe something like this:
(I actually imagine Dr. Tachyon on an innocent stroll through the park chancing upon this sign, and collapsing in a fit of uncontrollable, guilt-wracked weeping.)
If I were really going to do a true Wild Cards tour of NYC, after Indian food in the East Village and a stop by the Cloisters, I'd really have to go to Battery Park, the location of Jetboy's tomb, as well as the Empire State Building, home to the restaurant Aces High in the past, and now Stellar (my own invention for my story in Busted Flush). I'd take a walk down the Bowery to really get into Jokertown proper. I didn't have time to do all that — maybe next time. I also need to double check, but I'm pretty sure one of the Wild Cards gaming books (such as the one from Green Ronin) has a travel guide to Wild Cards New York. Not a bad way to see the city, really.
I'll leave off with this, a view to Midtown from Central Park, where I watched a squirrel building a nest and wondered if Bagabond was nearby:
One other thing I did: I got to go to one of the Fantastic Fiction readings at the KGB bar, a series I've been hearing about for years, and I was happy to finally get to attend — especially since one of the featured readers was Joe Hill. (Ellen Datlow was there taking pictures, there are a couple of me!)
award recs
January 13, 2014
It's award nomination season for the big genre awards! Everyone's posting about all kinds of stuff from last year! I posted my own 2013 bibliography a week or so ago. But now I'm going to talk about other stuff that I'm likely to nominate.
I didn't read a whole lot of new stuff this year, unfortunately. It's just the way the cards fell. Of what I did read and encounter, here's what I'm likely to nominate.
Fiction: My recommendations are heavily weighted to what's online, because that's what I read in the corners of my time. But there are others.
- "The Last Dignity of Man," Marjorie Liu's novelette from The Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination is on my list.
- Wild Cards stories "When We Were Heroes" by Daniel Abraham (novelette) and "The Button Man and the Murder Tree" by Cherie Priest (short story) weren't just good Wild Cards stories, they were good stories.
- "Sing" by Karin Tidbeck (short story) also really good.
- YA novel The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater (the follow up to Raven Boys) was excellent, as was middle grade novel Zombie Baseball Beatdown by Paolo Bacigalupi. Oh, that twist at the end…
- For the Campbell Award for Best New Writer, I think Max Gladstone is still eligible. I still talk about his series, starting with Three Parts Dead, as demonstrating that genre boundaries are definitely made to be broken.
I was introduced to artist Aaron B. Miller's work this year. Kinuko Craft is an artist I nominate every year. Galen Dara is up and coming and definitely someone to watch — she did the marvelous piece depicting Harry and Marlowe for Lightspeed.
Best related book: Jeff VanderMeer's Wonderbook. It's such an astonishing accomplishment — a fully illustrated book on creativity.
I finally started reading webcomic Strong Female Protagonist this year, after many recommendations. Like many of us these days, it's picking apart superhero tropes and doing some pretty far-out things. I described it to someone as Watchmen, but with a lawful good alignment instead of chaotic neutral.
Drama Short Form:
- I'm still on the quest to keep Doctor Who out of this category, but if you must nominate Doctor Who, consider "The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot." Snark with love.
- There's astronaut Chris Hadfield's cover of Space Oddity.
- And then there's the Marvel One Shot as found on the Iron Man 3 DVD: "Agent Carter," which broke my heart five different ways then built it back up again by the end. I haven't seen anyone talking about this, but I thought it was fantastic. It's a year after the war, and Carter is trying to make her way in a world that doesn't want her anymore.
Drama Long Form: We have a plethora of movies to choose from this year. Here are my choices (I only get 5 nominations on the Hugo ballot):
- Frozen
- Iron Man 3
- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
- The World's End
- Pacific Rim
The movie category is going to be way interesting this year, given I left off Gravity (which I don't think is really science fiction), Europa Report, Ender's Game, and all those other movies I just didn't go see. Oh, and Hansel and Gretel: Witchhunters came out last year too! Oh, for one more nominating slot. . . Also the short form, what with Almost Human, Sleepy Hollow, Agents of SHIELD, and Orphan Black all starting up this year. I don't know where to start with those episodes.
Whew! Meanwhile, I have a couple of weeks to catch up on some more reading. We'll see if anything else squeaks on to my list.
a mini promotional post
January 16, 2013
I was going to rant about TV shows today, but a couple of things came up, so I'm doing a mini promotional post instead.
Daniel Abraham's story about Curveball, "When We Were Heroes," is live on Tor.com. One of the fun things about working on Wild Cards is a) getting to play with other authors' characters, and b) seeing what other authors do with your characters. This story marks a big step in Curveball's life, and I have to be honest, I'm kind of glad I wasn't the one writing about this. I would have tried to be a little too nice and polished. But Daniel did a great job. I get teary, reading this story.
A reminder: the e-book of my collection Straying from the Path is available on all platforms. (This link goes to Kindle.) Go forth and read!
My writing has been a bit manic over the last week. I'm working on three different things, pretty much simultaneously. I'm revising Dreams of the Golden Age (aka Age of Tin), but because I don't want to lose forward momentum on two other projects I'm working on, I'm trying to get new words down on them as well. It's a little frenetic, but I finally feel like I'm getting stuff done, after lurching out of the holiday season. I'm going out of town at the end of the month — let's see if I can wrap one or two of these up before then, shall we?

New London — The spokesman for Looking Out for Taxpayers delivered petitions to City Hall Thursday morning with more than 850 signatures calling for a second referendum on the budget.
William Cornish walked into the City Clerk's office, where Assistant City Clerk Dawn Currier time-stamped the documents. At least 483 signatures, or 10 percent of the those who voted in the last municipal election, were needed for the petition to be valid.
Some residents are upset at the $41.3 million 2012-13 budget, which represents a 5.1 percent tax increase. But some are also protesting the administration's attempt to quash a second referendum.
Avner Gregory, who joined Cornish in delivering the petition, said residents were "very earnest and ready to sign" the petition.
"There are citizens that do have a backbone, and this is the proof," he said. He said citizens as a form of protest could choose not to pay their taxes if the city continues to not listen.
Cornish said the LOT group wants the city to reduce the budget and lower the tax rate. The city can use an $800,000 reserve for uncollected taxes to lower the budget, he said.
"Our contention is, collect the taxes," he said. "You don't need a reserve fund if you collect the taxes."
Cornish also said he wanted to ensure the rights of citizens are respected.
"We are free to petition our government," he said.
Last month, voters defeated a $42.3 million budget, which represented a 7.5 percent tax increase. The council approved a new budget after cutting about $1 million.
Before anyone had organized for a new petition, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio announced that a second referendum would be illegal. He originally told City Clerk Nathan Caron not to accept petitions but later amended his directive to say that while petitions can be accepted, the clerk's office should not spend any resources to certify the signatures.
Finizio said the city cannot have a second budget referendum because it has expended more than 25 percent of its yearly budgetary allocation.
Any further direction on action or inaction resulting from the petitions will come from City Law Director Jeffrey Londregan, Currier said Thursday.
Council President Michael Passero has said voters have the right to petition. Under the city charter, once the council receives a petition from the clerk with the required number of certified signatures, it has the option of lowering the budget or bringing it to a citywide vote. The clerk has an obligation to review and validate any petitions, he said, citing a 2007 lawsuit filed against the city.
The next City Council meeting is Nov. 5.
The Committee of Petitioners for the petition included Gregory, Susan Plunkett, Dwight Gross, Andrew R. Lockwood Sr. and Barbara Hample.

Scaling up first-of-a-kind processes from pilot scale to commercial or semi-commercial production present additional challenges and opportunities. In many instances this is an iterative process. During the engineering phases, fresh insights usually lead to process modifications. These have to be tested and verified before they can be implemented in the design. This paper will present examples of these situations, and lessons learned that might be helpful during the initial design of the pilot plant.
