Botched Beginnings—Common First-Page Killers
Posted by Author Kristen Lamb in Writing Tips on May 31, 2016
We can Twitter 'til we flitter and Facebook 'til we face plant and that won't matter much in the greater scheme of things if we fail at our single most important job—writing a great book. Our single greatest challenge is to hook the reader hard enough to buy (and then read) our novel.
Sales ultimately are impacted by reviews and if no one reads and no one finishes?
Yes, covers are important and social media is vital, but those sample pages can mean the difference in No Sale and Big Hit.
One writing book every writer should have is Hooked by Les Edgerton. I think this was the first craft book that truly woke me up and showed me all I really didn't know about writing.
As a new author, there were far too many elements I believed were important when in reality? Not so much. Additionally, because I was focusing on the wrong "stuff" I was failing to develop the "right" stuff.
What I love about Hooked is how Les demonstrates how all the factors that go into making great beginnings don't just evaporate. These are tactics we must keep employing throughout the work to keep the reader engaged and turning pages. Our job is to obliterate sleep, to send our readers tired and grouchy and over caffeinated to work…but ultimately satisfied.
Let's talk about some common ways beginnings fall flat.
The Writer is Easing Into the Story
Nope. I can't tell you how many times I've had writers wail, "But you don't understand! The story really starts on page 50."
Okay, then cut off 49 pages and you're golden.
Modern audiences simply don't have the attention span for us to go on too long. Yes, I get that the authors of yesteryear got away with this, but they were competing against shoveling manure and shoeing horses, not YouTube, Facebook and 24-hour entertainment. Additionally, writers back in the day were often paid by the word, so that sucker was padded worse than a freshman term paper.
These days we need to get to the point as quickly as possible and fiction is about one thing and ONE thing only. Problems.
Readers Don't Need a Set-Up…Really
We writers can be really guilty of brain-holding. Readers are smart. Really. We don't need to go ten or twenty or fifty pages to "set up" the story problem so the reader doesn't get lost.
Even Andy Weir's The Martian begins with:
I'm pretty much f**ked.
That is my considered opinion.
Six days into what should be the greatest two months of my life, and it's turned into a nightmare.
Weir doesn't start with the crew landing on Mars and bonding and working to "set up" the sandstorm that strands Watney on Mars. He starts right in the guts of the problem and we (readers) keep up just fine.
We Don't Care Why
Often new writers will begin a novel with a lot of telling and flashbacks in an effort to explain why a character is a certain way. We don't care. That is the realm of psychotherapy, not fiction. Want to see who a person (character) really is? Toss them into a problem.
Sure, later in the story we can divulge the character was abused or abandoned or whatever, but the beginning is not the place for that. Yes, we eventually know that Connelly's character Detective Hieronymous Bosch grew up an orphan after his mother (a prostitute) was murdered. We eventually find out that these circumstances fueled Harry's choice in occupation and even his world view. But the Bosch books never begin with this. That is for later.
Because the past is in the past and cannot be changed, therefore it is not a story worthy problem. It is a bad situation, not true drama.
In fact, we as the writer need to know these details, but sharing them might not always be a good thing.
Hannibal was far more interesting before he was explained.
Readers are perfectly fine with meeting a fully formed character (flaws and all) and just rolling with it from there. In fact, the wondering why a character thinks or acts a certain way often drives the reader to turn pages hoping that it eventually will be explained.
Inner Demons
My previous point dovetails nicely into inner demons, which we will explore in another post for sake of brevity. I get a lot of novels that begin with thinking and more thinking and waxing rhapsodic over "inner demons." Here's the deal, we don't like people who go on and on about their personal problems and character flaws in real life. Why would we pay to endure that in print?
Fiction is therapeutic, but it isn't therapy.
Remember that we are using the story problem to make the reader care about the protagonist. If we jump the gun too soon and start dumping a lot of emotional baggage on the reader, she is going to feel like she is trapped in the checkout line with that stranger who feels the need to share details of her ugly divorce.
We have to earn the privilege of the reader caring.
Beginning with thinking and internalization presents a structure problem as well. Internalization is part of what is called a sequel. Sequels can only happen as a direct consequence of a scene. Scenes are action and goal-oriented. All fiction begins with a scene (problem/conflict).
Outer Problems Versus Inner Problems
Humans feel far more comfortable with outer problems (initially) and it is what draws us in. If you have ever visited a major city like NYC, then think of it this way.
On the sidewalk there are countless faceless people.
If we notice someone crying? We might (big on the might) get involved, but we wouldn't feel very comfortable. If, however, a person is carrying a briefcase and the latches give way spilling out the contents? Most of us wouldn't think twice about helping the person gather her papers.
We also would feel far less weird if after we helped gather the papers, we "found out" the person was discombobulated because she was upset over a personal problem (was just fired). We might even want to know more because we've established enough report to activate empathy.
This is the difference in using an outer problem to hook versus inner drama.
Good fiction goes right to a tangible outer problem.
Beginning with Melodrama
Any time I see a book that opens with a funeral, a death, a hospital scene, I cringe. This is going to sound cruel, but we really just don't care. If we have not been introduced to the characters who are clinging to life or recently deceased? We have nothing emotionally vested and so sections like these are just tedious.
***This goes along with a protagonist starting things off by relaying her abuse history as a child.
And the more the writer tries to amp up the "feelings" the weirder it gets for the audience.
I get that the story might be prompted by a death or a tragic event, but there is no reason to drag us along if we don't know the dearly departed.
Remember that even in Star Wars, we did spend at least a little time with Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru before they were butchered. If the story would have started there? It would have just been weird.
There are a lot of other things that go into crafting excellent beginnings, but we will talk about those another time. I am trying something new, though. Thursday, June 16th I am holding a Battle of the First Pages. If you've ever been to a conference and to an agent gong show, this will be similar.
I will upload your first page in the W.A.N.A. virtual classroom (all you need is internet and pants are optional) and will read until the point I would have stopped (or, conversely, where I am hooked). Then we will parse the first page sample for what the writer did well or what could be done better. Sign ups are limited but it is only $25 for two hours of fun and games and the recording is provided for free with purchase.
Anyway, I do love hearing from you! What are your thoughts, opinions, questions regarding beginning?
To prove it and show my love, for the month of MAY, everyone who leaves a comment I will put your name in a hat. If you comment and link back to my blog on your blog, you get your name in the hat twice. What do you win? The unvarnished truth from yours truly. I will pick a winner once a month and it will be a critique of the first 20 pages of your novel, or your query letter, or your synopsis (5 pages or less).
Upcoming Classes
All W.A.N.A. classes are on-line and all you need is an internet connection. Recordings are included in the class price.
Again, I am trying something new and offering an open and interactive workshop. Is your first page strong enough to withstand the fire?
June 16th, 7-9 EST. Cost $25
This is an interactive experience similar to a gong show. We will upload the first page and I will "gong" when I would have stopped reading and explain why. We will explore what each writer has done right or even wrong or how the page could be better. This workshop is two hours long and limited seats available so get your spot as soon as you can!
June 17th, 7-9 EST. Cost is $35
Just because we made As in high school or college English does not instantly qualify us to be great novelists. Writing a work that can span anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000+ words requires training. This class is for the person who is either considering writing a novel or who has written a novel(s) and is struggling.
We will cover the essentials of genre, plot, character, dialogue and prose. This class will provide you with the tools necessary to write lean and clean and keep revisions to a minimum.
For those who need help building a platform and keeping it SIMPLE, pick up a copy of my latest social media/branding book Rise of the Machines—Human Authors in a Digital World on AMAZON, iBooks, or Nook.
The Single Best Way to Sell a Lot of Books
Posted by Author Kristen Lamb in Business on August 9, 2013
There are a lot of ways to try and sell books. One way? Non-stop Twitter book spam, "Buy my book! Buy! Buy! Buy! #writer #books #ineedmoney #indie #selfpub." Just make sure you set it to automate to EVERY writer hashtag and to repeat every fifteen minutes. People LOVE THAT.
We can advertise fifty times an hour and never have to bother actually talking to people on Twitter. Hey, our time is valuable, whereas others? They have plenty of time to be on Twitter, so why not give them a GREAT BOOK?
Then there are of course, form-letters on Facebook. "Dear Valued Person, I noticed you like puppies. My book has puppies, please buy now!"
We can also
rufie invite people to FB fan clubs for our book against their will.
Me: When did I become a member of The Raven's Chest Hair Fan Club? *scratches head* *leaves group*.
Then there's always Goodreads Begging: "Hi, I've never even said hello to you and don't know you from a hole in the ground, but my book is the best thing since Scratch-and-Sniff stickers, yet strangely not selling. I'm sure together we can make my book NUMBER ONE!"
Or not…
In my new book, Rise of the Machines–Human Authors in a Digital World I actually spend a lot of time explaining why advertising and marketing doesn't sell books in the new paradigm (or any other, for that matter) and what changes to make for any advertising or marketing to be more effective. Yet, ads, banners, book trailers aside, people want to read a great book.
This means our best way of selling books is…
You ready for this? *drum roll*
Writing great books.
Price is no longer as big of a determining factor as it used to be. A couple years ago, John Locke started the .99 bandwagon and many authors jumped on. At first readers were excited, until they realized the slush pile had just been dumped onto their Kindles and Nooks.
This is good news and bad news. Bad news? Being cheap isn't the game-changer it used to be. Good news? People are gravitating to higher priced books, because there is a presumption of higher quality. This means good books can make more money. Yay!
***Btw, I said higher priced not stupid priced. Traditional publishing has taken many a hit for this. Strange fact. Consumers won't pay the same price for an e-book as a glossy hardback. Wow, who would have imagined that?
Yet, just because potential readers are gravitating to higher priced books, doesn't mean an automatic purchase. It means our customer's time is *gasp* valuable. Yes, they are browsing the slightly more expensive books…to whittle down which books they will invest time in reading sample pages. We have to earn the sale.
Our sample pages, which are the beginning of the book, are our most priceless selling tool.
I know most of you've heard agents and editors usually give a book one to three pages, before continuing or chunking into the circular file. You might be thinking one to three pages? But, my story really gets going on page 21.
I've run the first-twenty-pages-contest on this blog for about three years. Most of the samples I get? I don't need 20 pages. I need one. I already know all the writer's bad habits and level of education and skill (or lack thereof). It's simply shocking how many of the same problems plague the beginning of most first-time novels.
And it's easy to think this is all very unfair, but think of your own experiences browsing a bookstore. Aside from cover and interesting title and story description, what do we do? We open the book and scan the first couple of pages. If those first pages stink, we don't give the writer twenty of fifty or a hundred pages to sell us.
Unless you wrote Girl With the Dragon Tattoo but he was dead.
So when you are dead, I suppose people give more gratis, because I cannot count the number of times people have said, "Well, yes GWTDT bored the paint off the walls, but after the first hundred pages, it's awesome!"
I…am not that motivated. I gave the book more than it's due (because the writer was dead) and gave it 20. Next! I'm aging here.
So if you are reading this blog and you're dead? You get more leeway. Also, what's it like on the Other Side? Feel free to leave a description in the comments :D.
For the rest of us who remain among the living? One to five pages.
I can tell 99% of what's wrong in a book by page five, and so can agents and editors (and readers, though they might not know what is wrong, only they aren't hooked).
It's sort of like going to a doctor. He/She can tell from the sphygmomanometer (been DYING to use that word) which is a blood-pressure cuff, a look at skin pallor and basic symptoms to tell if a patient has a bum ticker. No need to crack open the patient's chest and stare right at the sickly beating heart.
Most new writers (especially) have what Candy Haven's calls a fish-head. What do we do with fish-heads? We cut them off and throw them away, unless you are my family, who are
scavengers Scandinavians and then they make soup *shivers*. This actually explains the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo mystery.
The writer was dead and Swedish. Apparently Swedish readers looove fish-head-story-soup and somehow convinced others to give it a try. Not saying these are bad books, btw. Clearly, they have a huge fan base and rave reviews. I'm just I am not patient enough to get to the good stuff (and neither are a lot of other people).
Most new novels need to lose the first hundred pages. But that's just something I've gleaned from experience. Yet, who cares about the first hundred if we can't care about the first five? Often, the problems in the next 95 pages can be fixed by knowing what went sideways with the first five. Seriously.
Sample pages are…samples. If we go to Sam's or Costco, how many will stop for a sample of egg rolls, pizza, or Acai juice? How many will stop to sample the Fish Head Surprise?
My point, exactly.
For a fantastic resource about this, I highly recommend Les Edgerton's Hooked. Also, August 21st, I am running a Your First Five Pages webinar. Bronze is $40 and Gold is $55 (I look at your first five pages) and use WANA15 for 15% off. The webinar is recorded in case you can't make the time and a PDF with notes will be sent to you following the class.
What makes you stop reading a book? How long do you give books? Are you patient enough to wait a hundred pages for it to get interesting? What do you find the hardest about writing the beginning of the book? Have you lopped off your own fish heads?
I LOVE hearing from you!
To prove it and show my love, for the month of August, everyone who leaves a comment I will put your name in a hat. If you comment and link back to my blog on your blog, you get your name in the hat twice. What do you win? The unvarnished truth from yours truly. I will pick a winner once a month and it will be a critique of the first 20 pages of your novel, or your query letter, or your synopsis (5 pages or less).
ANNOUNCEMENTS: I have a class coming up SOON, Creating Conflict and Tension on Every Page if you want to learn how to apply these tactics to your writing. Use WANA15 to get 15% off.
Winner of 20 Page Edit for July is EDWARD OWEN. Please send your 5000 word WORD document to kristen at wana intl dot com.

New Immigration Bill to create hostile environment for migrants
The Home Secretary, Theresa May MP, in introducing the new Immigration Bill, said she intended to "create a really hostile environment for illegal migrants". The bill was read in parliament for the first time today with an accompanying media fanfare and headlines that helped introduce the 'tough' new rules.
The Immigration Bill, once enacted into law, which is expected to receive Royal Assent in the 2014 Spring, will make it:
(i) easier to identify illegal immigrants by extending:
- powers to collect and check fingerprints;
- powers to search for passports;
- powers to implement embarkation controls;
- powers to examine the status and credibility of migrants seeking to marry or enter into civil partnership.
(ii) easier to remove and deport illegal immigrants by:
- cutting the number of decisions that can be appealed from 17 to 4 – preserving appeals for those asserting fundamental rights;
- extending the number of non-suspensive appeals. Where there is no risk of serious irreversible harm, we should deport foreign criminals first and hear their appeal later;
- ensuring the courts have regard to Parliament's view of what the public interest requires when considering Article 8 of the European Court of Human Rights in immigration cases;
- restricting the ability of immigration detainees to apply repeatedly for bail if they have previously been refused it.
- (iii) more difficult for illegal immigrants to live in the UK by:
- requiring private landlords to check the immigration status of their tenants, to prevent those with no right to live in the UK from accessing private rented housing;
- making it easier for the Home Office to recover unpaid civil penalties;
- prohibiting banks from opening current accounts for migrants identified as being in the UK unlawfully, by requiring banks to check against a database of known immigration offenders before opening accounts;
- introducing new powers to check driving licence applicants' immigration status before issuing a licence and revoking licences where immigrants are found to have overstayed in the UK.
- In addition the Bill also contains measures to:
- introduce a new requirement for temporary migrants who have only a time-limited immigration status to make a contribution to the National Health Service;
- give the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner new powers to better regulate the immigration advice sector, to protect migrants from exploitation and prevent spurious and inappropriate applications which waste public funds and delay the handling of immigration cases;
- simplify the current fees legislation, which is spread across a number of different Acts, amending the criteria and process in regards to the Home Office's ability to charge fees for immigration services.
Don Flynn, Director of the Migrants' Rights Network, said:
This is largely about creating a more hostile environment for migrants. The government seems to intend that migrants will have to go through all these difficulties of establishing their immigration on many different occasions when they are going through the routine business of life.

Pacific Gyre Lagrangian drifters are calibrated instruments designed to measure
water currents and collect environmental data in oceans, lakes, and rivers. Modifications
can include, but are not limited to, additional sensors, different telemetry options
and alternate drogue depths.
Specifically designed for coastal environments,
the Microstar drogue is centered at 1-5 meters below the surface.
The SVP drifters track currents
at fixed depths between 5 and 100 meters.
The SLDMB can be deployed by hand or air. The drogue automatically opens when in contact with water.
This drogueless shallow water drifter follows surface
currents and resists being caught up on reefs or other underwater obstructions.
Strap the Globeacon to a buoy to monitor its location
anywhere in the world using the Iridium SBD satellite telemetry system. Real-time status and data available
via the web, text messaging, or insert directly into your own application using our API interface.
Deploy by snow machine or air to track ice floes anywhere on the planet.
Track the settling location of sediment cause by stormwater runoff.
The Sediment Tracker's high-drag drogue lowers at a controlled rate approximating sediment falling to the ocean floor.
Low cost object tracking. Just activate and attach to
anything you want to track. Perfect for ghost nets, flotsam, jetsam, lagan, barges or any other unmanned debris.
Available in sizes from 8 to 18 inches in diameter with optional environmental sensors.
Copy files from one computer to another via satellite.
Plug the SatDrive appliance into your network and configure using the simple web interface.
Then just send files using any common protocol to the SatDrive "send" folder and they will
be automatically transmitted via satellite to your destination.

Manchester United 1 FC Porto 1
(Porto win 3-2 on agg)
FROM the Rio Ferdinand affair to their manager's row over Rock Of Gibraltar, Manchester United have contrived the most extraordinary ways of undermining this deeply flawed campaign, but it was hard not to feel sympathy at least for their defenders as they crashed out of the European Cup last night.
It is the rearguard who have come in for the most ferocious criticism this season, but, led by the exceptional Gary Neville, it was they who seemed likely to come out of a scrappy match as the heroes. Then, just as all their hard work looked certain to be rewarded

McClatchy-Tribune: Immigration by executive order
President Obama's announcement Friday that he will temporarily halt the deportation of some young students and veterans who are in this country illegally is a step that is in some respects worrisome – and yet one he's right to take.
Students who were brought to this country illegally as children by their parents and have grown up here should not be the top enforcement priority over criminals who pose a threat to communities; veterans who have served in this nation's military similarly are owed preferential treatment under its immigration laws. Allowing these people to remain here is the humane thing to do.
But using administrative authority to achieve that goal presses the limits of presidential power. In this case, there are reasons to be wary of its reach – deciding, even temporarily, not to prosecute an entire group of lawbreakers comes perilously close to making new law – but also to recognize that the complexities and history of immigration suggest that Obama's move is defensible under the circumstances.
Federal authorities lack the resources to expel all of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in this country. Given that fact, it makes sense to set priorities and use prosecutorial discretion to decide who should be targeted for deportation. Previous presidents have exercised such discretion to temporarily stave off deportation of immigrants or to set enforcement priorities. In 2007, for instance, President George W. Bush halted the deportations of Liberians, whose country was emerging from a civil war.
Obama's action differs in scale – rarely have whole classes of immigrants been granted protection without a crisis back home – but it builds on ample precedent. Moreover, it is limited in scope: Only immigrants who came to the country before they turned 16, have lived here for at least five years, who lack any serious criminal convictions and are students or high school graduates would be eligible, as would honorably discharged veterans.
Friday's announcement angered anti-immigrant groups, which complained that the president's action amounts to little more than a blanket amnesty. That's not true. His order defers action against those it covers for two years and allows them to work during that period, but it does not assure them a permanent place in this country.
Because of that, the president's move only interrupts the deportation of young men and women who should be allowed to stay; it does not secure their futures here. What is needed is a lasting solution, but Obama cannot deliver that on his own. It required the full exercise of his presidential power to grant temporary reprieve to these worthy recipients. It will require the partnership of Congress to produce the change in the law that will make those protections permanent.

135g (1 ¼ cups) unrefined golden caster sugar, or light raw sugar
25g (1/4 cup) liquid glucose
560ml (2 1/4 cups) water
4-6 lemons
1 egg white
Zest all but 1 lemon, ensuring you avoid any bitter white pith. Place zest, sugar, glucose syrup and water in a pan. Bring to the simmer. Once sugar has dissolved, allow to simmer for a further 5 minutes then set aside and allow to cool.
Juice the lemons, you should get between 1.25 and 1.5 cups of lemon juice.
Add the sugar syrup to the lemon juice, bit by bit, tasting each time, until you are happy with the balance of acidity and sugar. Remember that once frozen, the flavour will be muted so it does need to be quite intense. Strain through a fine sieve.
Chill the mix completely before adding it to an ice cream churner and following the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the sorbet is churned and almost set, whisk an egg white until light peaks form. Fold through sorbet before placing it in the freezer to finish setting.
To serve, place sorbet in the fridge for 20 minutes to soften slightly. Grate remaining fresh lemon zest over the top.

Chapter 2: It wasn't my decision
It was a cold winter night in Cleveland and I was waiting for Deuce to pick me up. We we're going out for my birthday. The wind chill was below 20 and even my fur lined fetish coat wasn't keeping me warm. The moon was hiding distantly behind clouds waiting for the right time to reveal itself. I never thought at this young I would fall in love with a man that was 6 years older than me. Deuce had that effect on me though I just couldn't resist his tender kisses and warm hugs. I still couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that I was getting married.
Deuce pulled up in a 1976 Lincoln continental with whitewall tires and 22' spokes. A beautiful sky blue, and tinted windows.
"What took you so long? It's freezing' out there."
He kissed me. That let me know he wasn't in the mood to argue about anything. Which was good, It was my birthday and I shouldn't be startin' stuff because he was only a few minutes late even though it seemed like hours.
"How my baby girl today?" "Good and you?" A smile gleamed at me from his gorgeous face. "Where we goin'?" "Somewhere special."
We went to his house and there was candle light set at a table for two. He had my favorite Chinese chicken and broccoli. We sat down and he turned on the cd player which I happen to hear the temptations singing. Deuce knew I loved the temptations.
After dinner we went to the living room and romantically started to kiss. He started to kiss my neck and gently rub my thighs. Then I knew. He's expecting more out of me than I wanna give up.
"Come on baby, I'll be slow" "No, I can't I'm not ready to" "Kida, baby I love you."
That's when it hit me, this is the guy I'm going to marry so I can. I did. I couldn't believe myself afterwards I mean I just gave away the most sacred thing a girl ever possessed. I stayed the night with him, my parents wouldn't even know I was gone. I couldn't sleep, I kept tossing and turning wondering why in the hell did I do what I just did. Deuce was my man and yes I loved him but things only got worse after this.

In an appeal decided on May 23, 2014 at Docket No. 11-1486, the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals vacated in its entirety the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ("FERC") Order No. 745 due to FERC's lack of jurisdiction over the retail electricity market regulated by the states. Order No. 745 set compensation levels for suppliers of demand response resources that participated in Regional Transmission Organizations' day-ahead and real-time electric energy markets. Demand response, as defined by FERC, is the reduction in consumption of electric energy by customers from their expected consumption in response to an increase in the price of electricity or a reduction in response to incentive payments designed to induce lower consumption of electricity.
FERC claimed that Order No. 745 narrowly focused on "wholesale demand response" which it defined as a customer reduction in energy consumption in response to incentive payments. FERC contrasted this wholesale focus with "retail-level demand response" where consumption is reduced by customers in response to high prices. FERC argued that regulation of wholesale demand response was squarely within its jurisdiction under sections 204 and 205 of the Federal Power Act, which task FERC with ensuring that all rules and regulations affecting rates in connection with the wholesale sale of electricity are just and reasonable. In FERC's view, the nexus between wholesale rates and demand response is that as electric demand is reduced, wholesale electric prices fall.
The District of Columbia Circuit found FERC's linkage between the demand response program and its authority over matters "affecting" wholesale prices to be too tenuous given the Federal Power Act's Section 201 limitation of federal regulation to matters" which are not subject to regulation by the states". Because incentive payments were made under Order No. 745 when retail customers decided to reduce retail electricity purchases and therefore reduce retail demand, the Court held that this demand response initiative constituted unlawful direct federal regulation of the retail electricity market. If FERC could assert jurisdiction whenever the retail market "affected" the wholesale market, the Court reasoned that the Federal Power Act Section 201 prohibition of federal regulation over the retail market would be rendered useless.
FERC's reliance on a statement of policy in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that encouraged and facilitated demand response was not sufficient to avoid reversal of Order No. 745. The Court viewed Order No.745 as going far beyond removing barriers to demand response, and construed it as attempting to draw demand response resources into the wholesale electric market and dictating the compensation providers of demand response resources must receive. The Court was also skeptical that the demand response payment of full locational marginal pricing ("LMP") was just and reasonable. It cited with favor FERC Commissioner Moeller's separate opinion in Order No. 745, and observed that under Order No. 745 customers received both (i) payments equivalent to compensation paid to generators and (ii) the "saved" expense of avoided generation costs. The Court did not consider FERC to have adequately explained what appeared to be overly generous compensation for demand response. The Court vacated Order No. 745 in its entirety as ultra vires agency action.
In his extensive dissent, Judge Edwards found that the Federal Power Act was ambiguous on whether foregone electric consumption was a sale of electricity. This dissenting Judge seemed impressed with FERC's finding that demand response improved the functioning of wholesale markets. Judge Edwards concluded that FERC can indirectly incentivize action that it cannot directly require so long as it is otherwise acting within its jurisdiction and not directly regulating an area reserved to the States. According to the dissent, given the ambiguity of jurisdiction over non-sales of electricity and the impact of demand response on wholesale prices, deference should have been paid to FERC's statutory construction of its jurisdictional authority, and Order No. 745 upheld.
FERC's demand response rules guided what was generally regarded as a valuable restraint on wholesale electricity prices. The next few months will determine whether there is a consensus that this decision has created a problem that needs a legislative or regulatory fix. FERC will now have to consider whether it can effectively encourage and adequately compensate demand response in some new approach that has more of a "wholesale" flavor than was conveyed by Order No. 745. The fact that state level demand response programs are possible complicates the issue and moves demand response to the forefront of discussion issues between and among federal and state regulators. We think the upcoming NARUC Summer meetings in Dallas just got a new hot topic.

A new survey sponsored by the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization finds rising interest in behavioral and demographic ad targeting plus social and mobile search.
A survey commissioned by the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization projects spending on search engine marketing will reach $14.7 billion this year and $26.1 billion by 2013, fueled by advertisers` increasing willingness to pay more for more targeted reach and to expand participation in newer search venues such as social media and mobile platforms.
"Online advertisers are redefining the touch-points which extend search and keyword targeting, all of which provide additional opportunities to reach consumers," says Kevin Lee, SEMPO board member and chairman and chief executive officer of search engine marketing firm Didit.
75% of the online advertisers and interactive agencies polled in SEMPO`s 2008 State of the Market survey say they`d pay more for pay-per-click advertising that is targeted. On average, those surveyed said they`d pay 10% more for demographic targeting and day part targeting, which is the practice of serving ads only at designated times of the day; and 13% more for ads that target online consumers based on behavioral data. Two in five of those surveyed said they are not currently targeting searchers but plan to do so in the next 12 months.
Approximately one-third of respondents said they`d tried locally targeted search advertising and reported high satisfaction with program results. 34% had tried local search and deemed the results "okay," according to the survey. 62% said they would pay 1% to 5% more for local targeting and one in five would pay premiums of 6% to 10%.
54% of those surveyed expressed interest in using contextually targeted advertising attached to video search results, with two in five saying they`d pay the same for video search as they currently pay for traditional search. Among those willing to pay a premium, most would pay 20% or less.
48% said they`d be interested in contextually targeted ads served on mobile platforms, with two in five willing to pay the same for mobile search as they pay for traditional search. Those willing to pay a premium for mobile targeting would not pay more than an additional 30%.
More than 40% of the respondents reported they are actively promoting their brand on social media, with Facebook the social network cited by most, four out of five.
The survey, conducted for SEMPO by Radar Research and Intellisurvey, was based on results from 890 search engine marketers, mostly based in North America.

Author has written 11 stories for Dragon Ball Z, Teen Titans, and Young Justice.
Name: Lauren but you can also call me LouLou :)
Age: 26 (March 16, 1987)
Gender: Female
Please follow me on twitter (I LOVE followers!) at: twitter.com/chibilauryn
First I would like to say, feel free to chat me up, PM me whatever. I love making friends that have similar interest, especially when it come to fanfiction and topics such as Teen Titans, Young Justice, B:TAS, DCverse, music, the color pink...whatever.
I just recently graduated with my BA in English from UTPB and am starting my graduate program. Scary! Never thought I'd get this far. After that...not entirely sure...you'd think by now I would have some goals and plans for my future, but I want too much out of life to hold onto one dream and one specific future.
Although I haven't done much writing, I've done plenty of reading. And I mean A LOT! I've been reading fanfiction since I was in the eighth grade, so about 10-11 years. You'd think that I would have more of my own work, but whenever I get into the story writing mood, I come here and read instead. I've wanted to write more lately so hopefully something comes out of this! Also if you haven't noticed, almost all of my fics are song titles, because I am very unoriginal lol
Some things about me? I love music for one. Anyone who knows me knows that I have this sorta great love/borderline obsession...alright, full blown obsession, for Green Day. I've been a member of GDC (Green Day Community) for about 5 years now and in those 5 years have been to so many events around the US and have met so many people. I sorta also use those events as an excuse to travel, which brings me to the next thing: I love to travel!! I'll go almost anywhere, From San Fransisco to New York. I could talk about Green Day all day! :D Another band I really like is My Chemical Romance. Lately I have been rediscovering my love for them. They are another band that I have traveled far and wide to see and they put on an amazing show!
Hmmm...I never really know what to put in these things...
OH! if you have any fic recommendations, please!! Please send them to me and I don't mean this as a way to shamelessly promote your fics, but feel free to. What I really mean is that if you have read a really good fic, especially if it relates to a topic I'll list below, and want to share, please do! Like I have said I have been here for about 10 or 11 years, so have a hard time finding fics that are utterly amazing that I haven't already read. You know the kind of fic that you want to read over and over again? Ones that you return to years later, just to relive the magic and you spend days and nights fantasizing and day dreaming about...ok so that may be a bit extreme, but hopefully you get the picture. I will also be adding my own list of recommendations at the bottom of this. There are great stories out there that I would love to get more people to read and please review these stories. It's always great for the author to get feedback. Doesn't have to be detailed, just let them know what you thought and if you liked it. I too have been guilty of not reviewing a fic I've read, so I know how it is, but I also know that there is no excuse and I now try to read and review as many stories as I possibly can.
My FanFiction Interests
In general, I would have to say that my favorite type of fics to read are darkfics...and I mean DARK...ones where the characters go through physical and/or mental Hell are the best kinds. I want the story to make my heart ache and make my soul cringe. Which is why I think I love the TT apprentice fics so much. They are usually dark and full of good torture and Robin is never the same at the end of it.
Anywho...Here are my categories:
Dragonball Z
Pairing I like from:
Pairings I hate:
Lord of the Rings
Teen Titans
I'm in love with the apprentice stories and I know they have been done so many times, even Slade is tired of them, but I can't help it. Slade is such a great villain and Robin is the perfect victim. I also like fics where people 'find things out' and go "le gasp!"...I don't really care what that 'thing' is that makes them go "le gasp!" Could be anywhere from Robin's past to the fact that his shoe laces are untied (le gasp! He has shoe laces!).
Pairings I like (slash included lol):
Pairings I don't like:
Young Justice
Also, because of this fandom, I really like the father/son fics. You gotta love the over protective DaddyBats that has become associated here. Also, I love things that surround Dick and his identity...probably because his sunglasses crack me up lol Also his use of language or dissection of language is pretty funny..."aster", "whelmed"...
Pairings I like:
Pairing I don't like:
X-Men: Evoution
Pairings I like:
Pairings I don't like:

Hi Friends!
This recipe has been a long time coming. I finally got my act together so that I could share the best tuna salad recipe with you. It's one of my staple lunch/dinner/snacks and many of you have asked for the recipe!
Tuna Salad with Avocado
A few things you should note. I measured the ingredients because I know people will ask, but this is not an exact science. I don't usually measure when I make it. You can easily add in more ingredients or leave some out and it will still taste just fine! You could also make this with canned chicken. Also, it's impossible to make tuna salad look visually appealing.
Dress this lunch staple up or keep it simple, either way this recipe is great when you need a healthy meal in a snap.
5 minPrep Time
5 minTotal Time
- Combine the tuna, avocado & hummus in a bowl and mix well.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasonings.
Let's chat:
Do you like tuna salad? How do you make yours?

|SSB Fraudulent Cheques in circulation
|Written by Administrator
|Thursday, 20 May 2010 00:00
(May 18, 2010) The Social Security Board has confirmed from separate sources that fraudulent cheques, alleged to have been issued by the Social Security Board, were presented to and cashed by at least four business houses in Belize City. The cheques obtained were issued in the names of Darnell Garbutt and Michael Gomez, and enchased using Social Security Cards as identification.
The Board has been collaborating with the banks in an ongoing Police investigation into the matter, with the expectation of early arrest, conviction and exposure of the perpetrators.
The Board is hereby cautioning the general public not to accept third party cheques, but to refer them to the banks, which are in a much better position to validate cheques issued.
