Last updated June 5, 2016.
Con or Bust's annual online auction is its principal source of funds for the entire year. Items may be submitted for auction now through Tuesday, May 24, 2016, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern (time zone conversions, countdown). Bidding will begin Wednesday, May 25, 2015 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern (time zone conversions) and end Sunday, June 5, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. (time zone conversions, countdown), EXCEPT that last-minute bidding on an item will extend the bidding for that item (see below).
This page contains information on offering something for auction, bidding on auctions, and paying for your auction winnings.
Offering Something for Auction
New in 2016: offers should be made before bidding starts (otherwise Con or Bust might have to collect sales tax).
All you need is an email address: fill out the form on the Submit an Auction page. You can even upload images if you don't want to host them elsewhere! You'll get an email confirmation from email@example.com when the post is published.
Common things to offer are books and advance reading copies (ARCs), naming rights to a story character, jewelry, baked goods, editing, knitted goods, and so forth, but feel free to offer any good or service that's legal, practical, and morally and ethically appropriate. You can also look at past years' tags (2013, 2014, 2015) or indexes (2013, 2014, 2015) to get a sense of what's been offered previously.
Notes and suggestions:
- Good-Faith Estimate of Fair Market Value of Item: So that Con or Bust, Inc., can fulfill its obligation to send proper receipts to those who donate, please give a good-faith estimate of the fair market value of what you are offering for auction. This won't display in the post, it will just be added to the winner's thank-you email.
- Shipping costs: the default is that the person offering the item will pay for shipping. If the cost of international shipping is an issue, people have in the past shipped internationally after the bidder has offered to donate extra to Con or Bust, or have limited their auctions to domestic shipping only. If you think this may be an issue, please check shipping costs ahead of time and make a note in your auction post. (Also, if you're offering things media mail, please note that means US-only.)
For authors auctioning their own books, an additional possibility is to see if your book is carried by the Book Depository, which ships free worldwide. If it is, you can borrow an idea from E.C. Myers and offer to send your book to international bidders through that site and separately mail a signed, personalized bookplate.
- Food: if offering food, either figure out what you need to do to ship internationally or restrict your offer to your own country.
- Items to be made specifically for the auction: if you are offering original creative work to a prompt, or custom-made crafts, please consider whether you've done anything like that before and what a realistic delivery time is. I would like to avoid people winning stories, knitted goods, etc. that the seller has trouble creating within the delivery time stated.
Bidding on Auctions
How to Bid
Find things to bid on by searching over in the sidebar, looking at the 2016 auction tags, or sorting/filtering the Google Docs index (manually updated, may be delayed).
(Note: publishers, authors, and other donors have generally donated books and other items on the understanding that they will be bid on by fans for their personal use, and not by resellers. Please respect this so that people will feel comfortable continuing to donate to the auction.)
While bidding is open (see below), leave a comment stating the amount of your bid in U.S. dollars, with a working email address (which will not be displayed). You can also subscribe to comments to get notified of later bids.
Where multiple identical items are being auctioned in the same post, and the top n bids win, each consecutive bid must still increase, for the reasons stated here.
When to Bid
Bidding will begin Wednesday, May 25, 2015 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern (time zone conversions) and end Sunday, June 5, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. (time zone conversions, countdown). However, last-minute bidding on a specific item will extend the deadline for bids on that item. Specifically, if a valid bid on an item is received from 3:50 through 4:00 p.m., bidding on that item will be automatically extended by the same period of time.
Here's the flowchart:
Was a valid bid on an item posted with a timestamp from 3:50 through 4:00 p.m. on June 5? A valid bid is higher than the last one.
- No.
- If the last valid bid on an item was timestamped 3:49 p.m. or earlier, then that bid is automatically the winner.
- Yes.
- If a valid bid was timestamped 3:50 p.m., 4:00 p.m., or any time in-between, then bidding on that item is automatically extended until 4:10 p.m.
- Next, either:
- no further bids are received timestamped on or before 4:10 p.m., and therefore bidding is over at 4:10 p.m. and the last high bid wins; or,
- another valid bid is timestamped on or before 4:10 p.m., and bidding continues until 4:20 p.m. Repeat as necessary.
If an item's bidding period has been extended by last-minute bids, the bidding period will automatically extend until no bids have been received during the last extension period, at which time bidding automatically closes. A moderator ruling is not required for bidding on an item to be extended.
Paying for Your Winnings
You don't need to wait for me to notify you that you've won. When you pay, please provide the following information:
- What item or items you are paying for (it's fine, in fact preferable, to pay for multiple items at once);
- If your email address is different than the one you used to comment, what email address was on your comment; and
- Your shipping address, if you're having something shipped (if you use the PayPal button and the address in your PayPal account is correct, you can skip this step).
To donate online, you can either follow this link to the PayPal Giving Fund and have 100% of your donation go directly to Con or Bust, or you can use the button below and have your donation reduced by a PayPal fee (a lower charity rate of 2.2% + $0.30). What's the difference between the two methods?
- If you need to use a credit card rather than a PayPal account, you must use the button. (You may need to click "Continue" on the left side of the screen, above the credit card logos.)
- If you use the PayPal Giving Fund, you must then forward your acknowledgment email only to firstname.lastname@example.com with the information above. (Please do not send money directly to that address!) This extra step is necessary because the Giving Fund doesn't allow you to leave notes with your donation and doesn't notify us immediately that your donation has been made, so I literally won't know you've paid.
Please don't hesitate to use whatever method is most convenient.
If you donate using the above button, on the "review your donation" screen, please click "Add special instructions" (in small letters underneath "Purpose" and "Con or Bust"), and add the information listed above. (If you run out of room, forward your email to email@example.com with the information.)
Once I've matched up your donation with your winnings on the spreadsheet, you'll get two emails from firstname.lastname@example.com: a thank-you receipt for your records, and an email putting you and your seller in touch.
You can also mail a check, but please contact me at email@example.com before doing so.

6 Simple Ways to Slash Your Winter Energy Bills
These simple DIY insulation projects from AARP The Magazine can help you save up to $1,000 on your energy bills this year.
1. Plug wall openings
About 15% of air in the average home escapes through wall openings, an inconvenience that can be remedied by spraying insulating foam sealant around holes that lead to the outside. This quick trick can save you as much as $150.
2. Weatherize windows and doors
Control drafts by sealing small leaks around windows and doors with acrylic caulk to put $200 back in your pocket.
3. Update your thermostat
Did you know that replacing your thermostat can slash your heating and cooling bills by 20%? Purchase a programmable thermostat to control your bills and your bank account.
4. Blanket your water heater
By insulating hot water pipes with foam sleeves, you can increase tap temperatures 2 to 4 degrees and save up to $200 a year.
5. Seal and wrap ductwork
Eliminate unnecessary air leaks by sealing basement, attic and furnace ducts with mastic (a waterproof, flexible sealant). This simple project can increase your savings by $400.
6. Dress the hearth
Though fires warm you up for the moment, the flames remove warm air from the house and send it up the chimney, increasing heating costs by about 10%. Purchase a glass screen or heat exchanger to reduce heat loss and put $200 back in your wallet.

It is certainly steep but the walk is nice and there is a Catholic Basilica and astronomy museum at the top.
3 Days in Shanghai
One Day in Shanghai
Shopping Guide for Shanghai
A very special park with astronomy museum and an observatory, A Catholic Basilica high up on the hill and a bamboo forest worth taking a walk.
Sheshan Forest Park is a relatively small park surrounding the Sheshan mountain (hill).
It has well kept parts and it seemed there were lots of guides around the day I went.
The Sheshan Catholic Basilica (a national monument) is at the top of this hill, while the Astronomical Observatory is on the hillside.
You will find lots of people, mainly...
Great spot to take the kids for a half-day trip. 3 hours walking around two little hills (about 80m vertical accent from parking lot to summit). No actual paths, just paved walkways. Wasn't too crowded when I went. Not something to do unless you live in Shanghai and looking for convenient ways to escape the urban jungle in my opinion.
Sheshan is a small hill in the songjiang district of shanghai with a church and short board walk on top. While the hill is a little underwhelming there is plenty to do in the area including a botanical garden, happy valley amusement park and Thames town. So definitely make a day of visiting this area but if you only come...
Visited during weekend and while there were fairly much people wouldn't say that it was too crowded & some of the pathways like the wooden plank way from West gate to the South gate was very quiet and offered forest views which are so rare in Shanghai overall.
Recommend visiting the hill top astronomic museum (entrance 12 RMB) too as...
If you live in Shanghai, have a free weekend with nothing to do, and the weather is favourable, a brisk walk up Sheshan is a nice morning activity for you. An hour's drive from the city, I got to the North Entrance just before opening time on a Sunday (8 am). Entrance is free - you need to pick up...
The view on the top of this mountain is very good except for the many day's were the air pollution is very high, there is litter everywhere you go, people just leave there bottles on the floor even if there is a bin beside them. There used to be an amazing bamboo made park which had tons of obstacle courses...
Bored with all this mass of people and noisy environment? understand. If you think u can escape from it... No way. This unique hill is a landmark, it is a short exercise to climb it on rather well maintained walkways. On top of is there is a neogothic church, closed, for renovation. Maybe. The view is nice. But ... Your...
Well, in Shanghai you are always happy to be in the greens, no? Here a nice forrest is an exception, in Europe we are used to it. A bit artificial for my taste, but green is green!

How to Use Board Portals to Enhance Corporate Governance
Most people are familiar with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the increased companies' investment in financial controls and attendant software systems. However, the ultimate responsibility for companies lies with their boards. An increasing number of companies are turning to board portals to both ease the burden and improve corporate governance. Knowledge Center contributor Joe Ruck explains.
People often wonder what technology has to do with corporate governance, and how any piece of software can assist in matters of ethics and oversight. In fact, there are three clear areas where software such as board portals can help. First, improved visibility into normal operations. Second, greater responsiveness in case of ad hoc meetings. And third, risk mitigation around discoverability.
Improved visibility
Clearly, any decision can only be as good as the assumptions on which it is based. Directors need drill-down access to a whole range of information, much more than can be either supplied to them in a timely manner or searched by them in paper format. Some paper board books today can consist of upwards of 2,000 pages and are delivered in boxes. It's not realistic to expect anyone to wade through more than 2,000 pages of dense reports to find the figures they want.
A board portal liberates the directors from requiring dedicated staff to prepare reports for them. And, with global Internet access, board work can now continue outside of formal board meetings, according to the demands of the business.
Greater responsiveness
Events are unpredictable. They can range from unsolicited takeover attempts (such as Microsoft's offer to buy Yahoo), environmental accidents (like BP's Alaska spills) and litigation (like the U.S. Justice Department's investigation into BAE). In these cases, the board has to assemble immediately to review the situation. A physical meeting is usually out of the question due to the dispersed geographical nature of most boards. Attempts to use insecure infrastructure such as e-mail and faxes can lead to both a breakdown in communications as well as information leaks. Hotel staff, for example, can hardly help but read an incoming fax, if only to identify the recipient.
Depending on the content, such information leaks could have substantial financial effect in the markets, or lead to severe legal complications. Board portals, with their secure, closed-system e-mail, alerts and secure Web conferencing, remove these concerns and support ad hoc board meetings with zero notice.
Taken out of context, the private deliberations of board members could have significant consequences. For the same reasons that attorney-client privilege and medical records privacy are both considered sacrosanct, boards need to be able to deliberate in private. This requires systems that do not in any way audit directors' access and private notes, as well as prevent any internal systems staff from seeing the portal content. As you may imagine, this does create substantial challenges in support, since, by definition, support staff can never actually see the screens or content that's causing the problem.
While deliberations must remain private, it's equally important that a formal, auditable record of final decisions is made. Using a board portal, the General Counsel can enforce the preferred policy for a retention period with rules that will stand up to external scrutiny. This supports any requirement for discovery in a professional and time-sensitive manner. Further, the latest generation of board portals is able to extend the document retention policies to documents stored locally on the board members' laptops-an essential but sometimes ignored part of the puzzle.
Effective corporate governance requires effective and efficient process. Fundamentally, board portals, like all software, are there to help enforce and institutionalize that process.

|Arab Americans voting at Woodworth Middle School
DEARBORN — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders won big in east Dearborn neighborhoods in the Democratic primary, indicating that Arab Americans favored the democratic socialist senator from Vermont over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Dearborn voter Jawaher Almuraisi said she chose Clinton because she thinks the former secretary of state is the right candidate to beat likely Republican nominee Donald Trump.
"My daughter tells me to vote for Bernie," she said. "But I am voting for Hillary. We want to elect a woman for the first time."
The story of Almuraisi and her daughter is telling of the political generational divide that manifested itself in the community this election.
Sanders beat Clinton 210 to 101 at the polls at the Southend's Salina Elementary.
At McDonald Elementary, near Wyoming and Warren, Sanders received 278 votes, compared to 132 for Clinton. At St. Alphonsus (Warren and Schaefer), the count was 243 - 95 in favor of Sanders.
Arab Americans voted 2 to 1 for Sanders in almost every east Dearborn precinct.
At Becker elementary (Miller and Warren), Sanders received more than twice the votes Clinton did.
The senator won 59 percent of the votes in Dearborn, overall.
Sanders courted the Arab vote and met with community leaders a day before the elections and held two rallies in Dearborn.
Less than 25 percent of east Dearborn ballots were Republican, but fear of a Donald Trump presidency affected the decision of many Democratic voters. The Trump factor might have pushed some people to vote for Clinton because she appears more electable than Sanders.
"I really like Bernie," Hala Hammid, an Egyptian American voting at Maples Elementary, said. "But I'm going for Hillary. I want the Democrats to beat Trump."
Khaled Ahmed, 38, also voted for Clinton because he believes she can defeat Trump.
"She's good," he said. "The economy was doing great when her husband was president."
But the youths were more charmed with Sanders' "political revolution."
Hadi Srour, 20, who was voting in the presidential elections for the first time, said he prefers Sanders because the senator has spoken on issues that matter to young people, including affordable education.
"More people are involved in this election," he said. "Trump is mobilizing a lot of people on both sides."
Saba Shoubah complained that there was no line of voters at the precinct where she cast her ballot.
"If you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem," she wrote on Facebook, addressing Arab Americans.
Shoubah, 26, suspected that Clinton's supporters are backing her because she seems stronger.
"But Bernie Sanders is a leader that we would need, that genuinely has everyone's best interests at heart," she told The Arab American News.
Houaida Ahmad, 21, an electrical engineering student at Wayne State University, said Sanders won her vote because she agrees with his policies that aim to help less fortunate Americans, especially on education and healthcare.
Trump wins Dearborn
Surprisingly, Sanders was not the only winner in east Dearborn. Trump won the most votes in east side precincts in the Republican primary.
At Oakman Elementary, near Chase and Tireman, a predominantly Arab American neighborhood, Trump received 39 votes. Ohio Governor John Kasich was a distant second with 11 votes.
It hard to track where those Trump votes came from. They could be the ballots of White residents or Arab American Trump supporters.
While most Arab Americans are outspoken against Trump and scared of the prospects of his presidency, some community members are not immune to his seemingly frank "outsider" approach, which makes him popular among Republicans.
Both Sanders and Trump won over all in the city. On the Republican side, Trump received 3,196 votes. Kasich was second with 2,447. For Democrats, Sanders bested Clinton, 7,258 to 4,837 votes.
Sanders' appeal
Ali Baleed Almaklani, the executive director of the Yemen American Benevolent Association, said Sanders won the Arab vote because of his appeal to the youths and the direct communication with the community.
"He came to Dearborn twice," Almaklani said of Sanders. "He personally met with Arab American leaders. Hillary did not do that."
Almaklani added that Sanders' concern about inequality registered well with Arab Americans, who are mostly working and middle class families.
"Sanders was very straightforward with blaming Wall Street for the financial crisis," the YABA director added. "People in our community liked that. They found it honest."
Almaklani stressed the need for Democratic party unity, no matter who the nominee is, saying that Democrats are the most representative of the interests of the Arab American community.
The Arab American News surveyed more than a dozen Arab American voters, none of whom cited U.S. policy in the Middle East as a top issue for choosing a candidate.
Dr. Sally Howell, an Arab American studies professor at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, said intra-Arab divisions about the Middle East are pushing foreign policy lower in the political priorities of Arab Americans.
"The Middle East right now is so complicated that there is no Arab position anymore on foreign policy," she said. "It used to be easy in terms of the Arab vote and foreign policy issues; it was mostly about Palestine...

It was a big night at the Golden Globes for "Boss" star Kelsey Grammer. On Sunday (Jan. 15), the actor not only walked home with the prize for best lead actor in a TV drama, but Grammer also announced that he and wife Kayte Walsh are expecting twins.
USA Today reports Grammer as saying, "Fatherhood is always different based upon the character that comes into your life. They arrive and tell you what they have to do. I'm really looking forward to meeting these new arrivals."
Grammer already has three children, one from his marriage to Doreen Alderman and two from his nearly 14-year marriage to Camille Donatacci. Grammer and Walsh wed in February 2011.
As for Grammer's award, he beat out a formidable field that included Steve Buscemi, Bryan Cranston, Jeremy Irons and Damian Lewis.
Congrats on both accounts.

Lie Algebras, Cohomology, and New Applications to Quantum Mechanics
About this Title
Niky Kamran and Peter J. Olver, Editors
Publication: Contemporary Mathematics
Publication Year 1994: Volume 160
ISBNs: 978-0-8218-5169-2 (print); 978-0-8218-7751-7 (online)
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/conm/160
MathSciNet review: 1277370
This volume is devoted to a range of important new ideas arising in the applications of Lie groups and Lie algebras to Schrödinger operators and associated quantum mechanical systems. In these applications, the group does not appear as a standard symmetry group, but rather as a "hidden" symmetry group whose representation theory can still be employed to analyze at least part of the spectrum of the operator. In light of the rapid developments in this subject, a Special Session was organized at the AMS meeting at Southwest Missouri State University in March 1992 in order to bring together, perhaps for the first time, mathematicians and physicists working in closely related areas. The contributions to this volume cover Lie group methods, Lie algebras and Lie algebra cohomology, representation theory, orthogonal polynomials, $q$-series, conformal field theory, quantum groups, scattering theory, classical invariant theory, and other topics. This volume, which contains a good balance of research and survey papers, presents a look at some of the current developments in this extraordinarily rich and vibrant area.
Pure mathematicians, applied mathematicians, and theoretical physicists.

It was the 4th BMW Art Car in the series created by Jochen Neerpasch, the man who birthed the M1, and Hervé Poulain, the French racing driver and art auctioneer. Advertisement Prior artists had painted a scale model of the car, then had their artwork laboriously transferred to the full-size model. But Warhol insisted on painting the car himself, dipping his fingers into the paint, daubing it on with a foam brush, smelling its intoxicating fumes, feeling the bodywork with his own hands. His signature is on the car, signed with his finger right by the exhaust.Warhol painted the M1 in a paint shop frequented by BMW, right outside Munich. By the time the television crews had rolled in, he was finished. "Should I paint another car?" he asked, pointing at a brand-new BMW, one that was belonged to the man who owned the paint shop.

Sounding Out New Words
Sounding out words isn't just an exercise for young children. As your child gets older, he'll encounter more challenging vocabulary in the books and educational materials he's reading. Teach him how to use the phonetic skills he's already mastered to sound out words. Particularly when you're reading together or he's doing homework, resist the urge to pronounce a difficult word for him. Instead, give him a chance to sound it out and applaud his efforts.

Android expands to variety of gadgets
As Google's Android mobile operating system grows, it's become obvious it won't just be in smartphones and tablets anymore. These days, Android is in everything from your watch to your bathroom mirror.
Wimm One
A new product category is making a lot of headway lately: the smart watch. After someone designed wristbands for the iPod Nano, the idea of wearing a small computer on the cuff took off.
A relative newcomer in the market, Wimm One is soliciting Android developers to contribute to its app marketplace. In its current form — mind you, this is the developer kit model after all — this is a relatively bulky watch, but it's got a lot of potential.
Using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to connect to phones, the watch can display text messages or incoming call information on your wrist. A suite of apps shows useful information at a glance, including upcoming calendar appointments or RSS feed updates. A built-in accelerometer and magnetometer can also track the wearer's movements.
The SC1630 is a smartphone with a 3x optical zoom and 16-megapixel sensor.
One of the included apps is Labyrinth, which utilizes these features to create a game you can play simply with wrist motions. WIMM's Micro Apps store will be live in beta in about a week. The developer kit is available for $199.
The Cybertecture Mirror is also an interactive screen that connects you to the Web.
Cybertecture Mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall, will you post a new status on my Facebook wall? No ordinary reflective device, the Cybertecture Mirror is an interactive screen that lets you connect to the Web, check the weather, read the day's news and, yes, check Facebook all while brushing your teeth.
Measuring 50 by 80 centimeters, which is what the device's designer says is the average household mirror size in Hong Kong, the touchscreen mirror runs on the Android operating system. The mirror includes a scale that can measure weight, body mass index, fat content, bone mass and water mass — information that can be sent to a doctor.
Where might you find such a device? Luxury hotels, including the Peninsula Group in Hong Kong and the Al Qasr in Dubai, and the homes of wealthy. The Cybertecture Mirror retails for $7,700.
Polaroid Smart Camera
Camera maker Polaroid's SC1630, which debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show, is a so-called smart camera, a new category of devices. With a 16-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom and 18 scene modes, it's apparent this smart camera is in a league far above the already impressive optics in the iPhone 4S or Nokia N8.
Polaroid's latest has the potential to be a phone as well. The company is in talks with wireless carriers and could sell a contract-free model. Still, it boasts much more masterful specs than the smartphone cameras on the market, and Polaroid is hoping developers will create apps to take advantage of the SC1630's superior photo capabilities. The camera will launch in April, retailing for $299.
Nyxio Smart Android TV
If CES is any indication, 2012 will be the year of the smart TV. As such, it was only a matter of time before televisions adopted the popular Android platform. At CES, Nyxio Technologies unveiled a connected TV running on the open-source platform. The Nyxio Smart TV with Android OS, which will range in size from 21.5 to 65 inches, will have access to almost half a million apps from the Android Market. Imagine playing "Angry Birds" on a 65-inch touchscreen. The company expects to ship the new TVs in April, with pricing beginning at $450.
Rydeen DV621 Radio
Rydeen Mobile Electronics' DV621 is a radio that runs on Android. Designed with cars in mind, the multimedia receiver includes hardware buttons and a customized Android interface.
The large icons are spaced in such a way on the 6.2-inch touchscreen to make it accessible but not distracting for drivers. The device uses a GPS antenna to work with Rydeen's navigation software or Google Maps.
An additional dongle enables Internet connectivity, so the radio can function like a tablet, minus the fact the DV621 is not portable in the traditional sense. Using Bluetooth, the radio can sync with phones. There's already a mic in the front panel, but a separate connection mic can be added in the car. Pricing and availability have not been announced.

Thanks Joanne, for taking time to "splain" some of the more techie stuff -
which I did not understand at all - but now at least me thinks I have some
basic understanding. At any rate, I spent a couple hours this afternoon roto
tilling some additional space in the wooded area of my back yard for
additional hostas. I have not told my wife about it yet and expect some
backlash from her. I have 4 other gardens which I never seem to have enough
time to devote to, and now I've gone and enlarged my hosta bed. Well, only a
little for now. I have about a quarter acre of oak woods and the high canopy
provided by the oaks is perfect for hostas.
Thanks again - Ronnie

Lisa Hendrix is represented by the interviewer's Pump Up Your Book Promotion, a public relations agency specializing in online book promotion.
After years of daydreaming complex stories for familiar characters from film, TV, and books — nearly always involving a romance that hadn't been included by the original writer — Lisa Hendrix borrowed a page from motivational speaker and author Marsha Sinetar and decided that it was time to start doing what she loved and hope that the money really would follow. She began writing the medieval romance from hell, a manuscript that taught her a lot, but which is now safely locked away where it can do no harm.
In April 1992, she carried a dot-matrix printed synopsis into an appointment with a Genuine New York City Editor at a local conference and pitched an idea for a historical romance set in the American West. The editor was interested and requested a partial manuscript, along with assurances that Lisa would buy a better printer. Credit card in hand, Lisa set out to comply. She mailed the proposal a month later, and five months after that, received The Call. Hostage Heart and Drifter's Moon were soon on the shelves, followed by contemporary romantic comedies Razzle Dazzle, To Marry an Irish Rogue, and her first single-title lead, Runaway Bay.
Now she's gone back to her medieval roots with Immortal Warrior, Book I of The Immortal Brotherhood, a new series featuring a crew of Viking warriors cursed to be immortal were-creatures. Book II, Immortal Outlaw, will follow in 2009.
We interviewed Lisa to find out about her writing life and her new paranormal historical romance novel, Immortal Warriors.
Thank you for this interview, Lisa. Can you tell us a little about yourself and how long you've been writing?
Thank you for having me. I never know what to say when people ask me about myself. I don't see myself as that different from most writers, from the tendency toward shyness (e.g., answering questions about myself) to the fight with a spreading butt to the overactive imagination. I've been writing for nearly twenty years and published for about fifteen. There were a couple of breaks in there due to family issues, so Immortal Warrior is my sixth published book, and the first in my new series, The Immortal Brotherhood (more about that later)
Do you write full-time?
Well, as full-time as the mother of two active teenagers can. Unfortunately, I tend to go in fits and starts, with too much fun and research at the beginning of a book and insane, caffeine-laden hours near the end.
At what point in your life did you make up your mind you were going to become a published author?
I told my mom that I wanted to write books when I was 8. I think I saw it as an easy way to make a living. Boy was I wrong.
I toyed with the idea again in about 1986, during one summer when I didn't have work. I got serious about it in 1989/90, when I cranked out 70,000+ words of a really awful medieval romance that taught me much about plotting and character development. An idea for another medieval morphed into a western, which ended up being my first published book, Hostage Heart.
Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
Immortal Warrior is the first in my new series about a crew of Viking raiders cursed to live for eternity as weres of their fylgjur, their spirit companions. This first hero, Ivar, spends his days as a great eagle. He's managed to make a tentative life for himself by working as a mercenary/spy for the Norman king, but one evening the loneliness becomes too much. Instead of asking King William for payment in gold, he asks for land and a hall where he can enjoy the company of men for a time.
What he does not expect is that with the land comes a wife – a beautiful, intelligent, aggravating wife from whom he must somehow keep his dark secret.
What was the inspiration behind your book? Why did you feel a need to write it?
I had a dream. That's not usually how I come up with characters, but it's what happened this time. I awoke with a crystal-clear image of a tall, blond man in formal evening clothes. I knew nothing except that he was a thousand years old – and that turned into a bear every morning.
I had to figure out all the rest, but it all evolved from there.
What kind of research did you have to conduct to write your book?
A lot. I had to find out about Viking culture and religion; therianthropy (shape-shifter mythology); Norman England; medicinal herbs; castle construction; Anglo-Saxon myths and religion; women's roles in medieval times; forms of address; clothing, right down to belt buckles; how books were constructed; food. In other words, all of it. It was like fantasy world-building as far as the degree of detail goes, except it's all real and someone, somewhere, will feel obliged to tell me if I get it wrong.
What message are you trying to convey with this book?
My books are about how the power of love can help a person find his or her place in the world.
Do you have a website? Do you manage it yourself or do you have someone run it for you?
Yes, I do, at lisahendrix.com. My blog is also located there, as is my Contest page (which you may want to visit for a chance to win some Viking treasure).
So far, I've done it all myself, with some help from my computer-jockey husband. It's a WordPress site hosted on a third-party ISP, using a free theme I found that switches between Day and Night–-perfect for my immortal Vikings. At some point, I'm sure I'll turn over management to a third-party, but I'm not there yet.
Readers can also find me at MySpace (myspace.com/lisa_hendrix), Facebook (www.facebook.com/pages/Lisa-Hendrix/18625590885) and Goodreads (www.goodreads.com/profile/LisaHendrix)
What's next for you?
The next book is Immortal Outlaw, the story of Steinarr the Proud, who is a lion by night. I'm having a lot of fun with this one, which is my take on what really happened in Sherwood Forest. I'm just finishing it up, and it will be out June 2009.
The Immortal Brotherhood consists of nine men, the nine survivors of the crew of raiders caught by the sorceress Cwen. She cursed all of them, so of course they all have to have books. And since that first dream image was of a man who was a thousand years old, each book will be set in a different century, bringing the whole series through that thousand years into the present. It's going to mean a lot of research, a lot of fun, and a lot of work. It's also going to require a fair amount of patience from my readers, since I'm not the world's fastest writer. But in return for that patience, I promise that each of the guys will have his book.
Thank you for this interview, Lisa! Do you have any final words you'd like to share with my readers?
I really enjoyed it, thank you.
My final words are a reminder of what a great thing books are, especially when times are a little unsteady. They're cheaper than going to a movie, they can be re-read as often as you like, and they make great gifts: all in all, one of the best treats you can buy yourself.Powered by Sidelines

ARIA checkboxTriState widgets do not trigger object:state-changed:checked events during a state change.
Test case:
Two examples linked from here http://www.disability.uiuc.edu/ita/brasic/citaweb/test/aria/checkboxTriState/checkboxTri1.php
DOMi shows for me state change events are fired when I click on checkbox. Scott, how do you get this?
I tested the checkboxTriStates again this morning and I am not getting any object:state-changed:checked events. I am using Accerciser to test running under Linux using the following version of Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007082204 Minefield/3.0a8pre. Contrast the checkboxTriStates with a normal HTML checkbox which are triggering the event.
It's strange because on windows I see this event by foxevent tool too.
btw when the state is off and when it is on for tristate checkbox? true and mixed - on, false - off?
If we are stuck with a two state at-spi event then yes, checked and partially checked = 1 and unchecked = 0.
Sounds good
true = STATE_CHECKED
mixed = STATE_CHECKED STATE_MIXED (ATK_STATE_INDETERMINATE / STATE_SYSTEM_MIXED)
false = 0
so here we have two bugs
1) on linux we state changed event is not fired for checked state
2) we should fire state changed event for state mixed
Hold off on this bug, because the PFWG is considering removing checkboxtristate. Instead, role="checkbox" would be able to support checked="mixed".
In addition, we'll also need to support this for pressed="mixed" now, on anything that supports pressed (I don't think we support pressed="mixed" at all yet.)
We may well just support all these new things in this bug.
PFWG decided to remove checkboxtristate.
checkbox needs to support checked="mixed"
and we need to support pressed="mixed" on roles that support pressed.
So we need to fix events for all of these.
Created attachment 280484 [details]
Test case with checkboxes -- last one is tristate checkbox
Created attachment 280485 [details] [diff] [review]
See description below
1) Fix ARIA role/state table to remove checkboxtristate role and support checked|pressed="mixed",
2) Track state of last focused item,
3) If mixed state is different after change to pressed|checked, then fire additional state change for mixed state
Comment on attachment 280485 [details] [diff] [review]
See description below
Nice to see checkbox simplified (IMO). I notice a checked|pushed event can directly precede the mixed event. Seems to make sense. Looks good.
On an unpatched version of Firefox I am seeing the accessible getting destroyed and a new accessible created for every state change. Can this be fixed? This causes major problems in Orca.
That's because of the image frame change. Please file a separate bug for that.
Will is concerned that state 'mixed' should be 'indeterminate' as defined by the AT-SPI spec.
Yes, we do that, sorry for not saying that.
We map our state MIXED to INDETERMINATE for ATK/AT-SPI.
Fixed, but note that this is no longer done with checkboxtristate, but via checked="mixed" on something checkable or pressed="mixed" on a button.

Teenagers from poorer backgrounds remain much less likely to go to university, and to study at a top institution, according to a report by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
It also issued a warning that some universities could run into trouble if they fail to attract enough students and raised concerns about a major slump in the numbers of people studying part time.
The new study looks at the impact sweeping changes to higher education funding have had on universities.
Tuition fees were trebled last autumn, with new undergraduates now charged up to £9,000 a year for a degree course.
Graduates begin paying the loan back once they are earning at least £21,000.
The study says that while the evidence shows that the reforms have not made poorer youngsters less likely to study full time, there are still "significant gaps" between different groups of students.
Official data, published by UCAS, shows that 18-year-olds from the wealthiest areas are still three times more likely to apply to university than those from the poorest areas, the report says.
And entry rates to universities that require top A-level grades are six to nine times greater for students from advantaged areas.
The study says the impact of the reforms on encouraging more disadvantaged young people to go to university are not yet known, and the issue needs to be monitored.
The report also reveals how different institutions have fared in recruiting students since fees were trebled.
It says there is a "mixed picture" with specialist universities and further education colleges the only groups to maintain similar numbers of students between 2010-11 and 2012-13.
It adds that only 13% of universities with the highest entry requirements increased their full-time student numbers, compared to a third of those with the lowest requirements.
"Some institutions with the lowest entry tariffs saw as much as a 15% increase," HEFCE said.
But around half of institutions with lower entry requirements saw their numbers fall by 10% or more, it adds.
The study concludes that England's university sector is in "reasonable financial health", with no institutions facing insolvency in the short term.
But it warns: "There is wide variation in the financial performance and the health of different institutions within the sector, and some institutions will face difficulties if they experience repeated falls in student recruitment."
Overall, figures suggest that the numbers of young people planning on going to university may be recovering after a "dip" last year - the first year of the fee hike, HEFCE's report says.
But it raises serious concerns about part-time students, saying that the numbers of people starting part-time undergraduate courses has fallen by 40% since 2010-11.
This is equivalent to 105,000 fewer students, the report argues.
It says there is emerging evidence that part-time fees rose in 2012.
"Students who might have found the money to pay the previous lower levels of fees may simply be unwilling to pay higher fees, despite the fact that loans are offered on the same terms as for full-time students," the report says.
HEFCE chief executive Sir Alan Langlands, said: "It is difficult to draw firm conclusions at this early stage of the reforms.
"The sector is currently in reasonable financial health, and student demand appears to be recovering after last year's fall.
"But today's report also highlights some causes for concern: in particular, sharp drops in recruitment to part-time courses and a related decline in mature entrants. And although recent positive trends in widening participation appear to have been sustained in the first year of the reforms, disparities in the recruitment and retention of students by social background and gender remain unacceptably stark.
"HEFCE will continue to monitor these and other issues, taking action as necessary."
Under major reforms, last year universities were allowed to recruit as many students as they liked who gained at least two A grades and a B at A-level.
This is being lowered this year to cover students with ABB at A-level.
Around 20,000 places were also set aside for institutions that kept fees below £7,500 - a scheme known as "core and margin".
HEFCE's report says that overall in 2012-13 recruitment to universities fell below planned numbers by around 9%, equivalent to 28,000 places.
A number of universities said that they had departments that were "cautious" in making offers because they did not want to breach their set student limit.
Vice-chancellors' group Universities UK (UUK) today said it was launching a review into part-time study.
UUK president Professor Eric Thomas, said: "We have been concerned for some time about recruitment to part-time courses. It is particularly striking that enrolments to part-time courses have declined despite the recent extension of loans to part-time students.
"These figures show starkly that there is a serious issue, and we are determined to get to the bottom of it.
"That is why Universities UK is pleased to have been asked by the Minister for Universities to review the evidence on part-time study, and to make urgent practical recommendations on how this provision can be developed."
Rachel Wenstone, Nation Union of Students vice-president for higher education, said: "The Government urgently needs to address the decline in part-time student numbers. They have failed to account for less traditional students and forms of learning in making their changes and this is pushing many away from education.
"Part-time student numbers have been falling since the economic crisis began but the Government have created an unsustainable situation by jacking up fees placing a huge burden on potential students.
"Students from disadvantaged backgrounds and older students are more likely to study part-time than others and a lack of investment in part-time study will have disastrous impacts on diversity within universities."Reuse content

Withstands forklift abuse!!!
My warehouse guys kept banging into my rolling door tracks, so I bought several of these and placed them with 5/8" redheads. They work great. Super heavy duty.
The most critical review
Nice product, have ordered from Global before. I was not pleased with the extended period if time that it took to get 2 bollards. Months! I don't have exact dates with me but it was not acceptable.
Very Well Made
Your review: Well made bollard this is the third one we've ordered and installed. Very satisfied with the results. Protects our driveway card readers. Haven't had an incident of the card readers being hit since installation.
Pros: Heavy duty material and weight. Pre painted and has a stripe on top.
Cons: None.
Do the job
Your review: Bollards came as expected with no chips or dings. Dimensions were correct and bright enough to be visible. We haven't run into one yet with a forklift so they seem to be sturdy without actually testing them.
Pros: Good price and availability
Cons: None
42" Round Bollard
Your review: This is a great bollard as far as bollards go. The finish is better than some hi-dollar cars on the road. Bright yellow is a great warning and is hard not to see. Very solid...construction able to stand-up to all but the most malicious intent. Bolt down base makes it easy to use.
Pros: Hi-viz, easy to install, cost effective.
Cons: Heavy but that's what you'd expect!
Great little bollard
Your review: This is an excellent little bollard, I have installed a lot of these bollards. The only issue I have had is the holes for the anchors are a little big, we use 1/2 inch anchors and the washers that come with the anchors will slide through the hole.
Beautiful Bollards!
Your review: These bollards work great to protect valuable equipment from damage by careless drivers or maybe people who just can't drive. The finish is tough and durable with a color that can't be missed. The bolt down base makes them fast and easy to install. This is an excellent product at a fair price!
Excellent Product
Your review: I was trying to find a source for a bollard and Global had several choices. The bollard is of excellent quality and construction. I bought 2 of the 4" x 42" along with the bolt kits. Everything came in and works perfect.
Thanks for the great products Global....

Volkswagen Alternator - Genuine VW Audi 06B903016AB
VW/Audi OE: 06B903016AB
Alternator by Genuine VW Audi
Alternator by Genuine VW Audi
Originally, since cars run on DC power, engines were equipped with generators. Later it was found that alternating current was more efficient to produce, so generators were replaced with alternators, which produce AC power. The power is immediately converted to DC through a series of diodes and directed to the battery, which then powers the rest of the vehicle. The alternator is most commonly driven by your engine drive belt. A working alternator should generate close to 14 volts. If the measured electrical voltage drops below 12v it is a sure sign of an alternator charging issue, generally followed by a battery light on the dash illuminating. When diagnosing a charging problem, it is wise to also inspect all related ground points as well as the system voltage regulator, most often located on or in the alternator itself.

About Genuine VW Audi
The colossal Volkswagen Group, comprised of Audi AG, Skoda, SEAT, Lamborghini, Bugatti Automobiles, Porsche AG and Bentley Motors among other automotive and industrial marques began life in 1937 with the VW Type 1. Intended as affordable transportation for Germany's prewar working class masses the Type 1 ultimately carved out a foothold for VW worldwide as the Beetle. Accepting the torch from the Type 1 were the Golf, Sirocco and Polo, all based on the Audi 50 and enormous successes that defined the form and function of compact cars for the foreseeable future. 1975 saw the introduction of the Golf GTi, another milestone for VW as it created the "Hot Hatch" segment. Current Offerings from VW implement direct injection, turbocharging, variable valve timing and common rail diesel injection once again bringing class leading performance and fuel economy to the people.
Sometimes advanced, proprietary systems require genuine parts. With a comprehensive inventory of Genuine VW parts and an extensive network of resources eEuroparts.com is able to source parts for your cutting edge MK7 to your classic MK1.

Mini impressed us all when it revealed the Superleggera Vision concept at the Paris Motor Show a couple of months ago. But even before the little roadster concept debuted, there were already rumors of its production potential. And those rumors are only being further entrenched by the emergence of a series of patent renderings.

Mini's Superleggera Vision Concept may not be a Paris Motor Show debut, but this is the first time we've seen this stunning all-electric roadster in the metal, having been first shown on the tony shores of Lake Como at Villa D'Este in May. While it's small in stature, it's still big on both presence and detail, from its overall stubby yet sleek proportions to its Union Jack taillamps, Jaguar-esque rear fin and elegant rearview mirrors.

We fell in love with the Mini Superleggera Vision Concept from the moment we laid eyes on it. The little convertible blends retro and modern together better than any Mini in years. There is even more good news about the roadster as well because the company is considering actually building it. We even have some renders of what the production version could look like.
