THE LION KING's Chantel Riley and Ben Jeffrey to Appear on WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE, 12/10
In celebration of the 15th anniversary of "The Lion King" on Broadway, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," with Emmy Award-winning host Meredith Vieira, will host two principal actors from the hit musical as contestants on Monday, December 10. Chantel Riley (Nala) and Ben Jeffrey (Pumbaa) will play "Millionaire" as a two-person team and will donate their winnings to The Actors Fund, a national human services organization that helps professionals in performing arts and entertainment in times of need, crisis or transition. The duo is guaranteed to win a minimum of $10,000 for The Actors Fund.
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" will honor The Great White Way next week with "Broadway Giveaway Week," airing December 10 – 14, 2012. Check local listings or go to http://www.millionairetv.com for time and channel.
Throughout "Broadway Giveaway Week," "Millionaire" contestants will be asked one Broadway-themed question during gameplay. If they answer correctly, they will win tickets to a Broadway performance of "Mary Poppins," "The Lion King" or "Newsies" for themselves as well as members of the studio audience.
Earlier this fall, Meredith Vieira made a cameo appearance in Broadway's "The Lion King" as a "Bird Woman" in the hit musical's iconic opening number, "Circle of Life." Her 'one-night-only' cameo took place on November 1, 2012, "The Lion King's" first performance after Superstorm Sandy forced the production to shut down for several days. "I was so proud to be part of that particular show that night," Vieira said. Vieira was in the audience for "The Lion King's" opening night performance 15 years ago and said she remembers being "mesmerized by the entire show." "To actually be back and be part of it, is something I'll never forget," she added.
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" with host Meredith Vieira currently is in its 11th season. Vieira has hosted the daytime version of "Millionaire" since the show debuted in 2002. She is a multi-Emmy Award-winner and has won two Daytime Emmys for her work on "Millionaire" (2005 and 2009). Throughout her ten seasons on the show, Vieira has hosted over 1,800 episodes and handed out more than $70 million in winnings to "Millionaire" contestants. "Millionaire" is produced by Valleycrest Productions Ltd. and is distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic Television. Rich Sirop is the executive producer. In addition to serving as the host of the show, Meredith Vieira serves as co-executive producer. Visit "Millionaire's" website at http://www.millionairetv.com.
Among the most successful titles in entertainment history, with a cumulative gross in excess of $5 billion, the title has already earned more than the biggest hit films in movie history: more than the Lord of the Rings trilogy combined, more than the six Star Wars films combined, and more than Avatar and Titanic, the #1 and #2 highest-grossing films in movie history, combined.
With eight productions currently playing around the world, it will make its South American and Portuguese language debut when it begins performances in Sao Paolo, Brazil in February 2013. With that production, The Lion King's 21 productions will have played in 98 cities in 16 countries on every continent except Antarctica.
The Broadway production has played through three Presidential administrations, four mayoral elections, eight New York City team championships and the opening and closing of 536 Broadway shows.
The show's director, costume designer and mask co-designer Julie Taymor continues to play an integral part in the show's ongoing success. The first woman to win a Tony® Award for Direction of a Musical, Taymor has in recent years supervised new productions of the show in Las Vegas, Madrid and the UK tour and just completed casting the Brazilian production in Sao Paolo.
As it enters its 16th year, The Lion King remains ascendant, continuing to reign as a cultural phenomenon and one of the most popular stage musicals in the world. Since its Broadway premiere on November 13, 1997, 20 global productions have been seen by more than 66 million people and, cumulatively, run a staggering 96 years. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions (under the direction of Thomas Schumacher), The Lion King is the fifth longest-running musical in Broadway history and only the second show in history to generate five productions worldwide running 10 or more years. Translated into seven different languages (Japanese, German, Korean, French, Dutch, Mandarin, Spanish and Portuguese), The Lion King can currently be seen on Broadway and on tour across North America, in Tokyo and on tour in Japan, in London's West End and on tour throughout the UK, and in Hamburg and Madrid.

text: When I heard the news yesterday that Channing Tatum was going to be named The Sexiest Man Alive by Kneepads, I asked around the office and everyone thought Channing has a great body, but that by far the sexier person between Channing and Ryan Gosling is Ryan Gosling. The most common comment about Channing was that if you were at a bar and could not hear anything that anyone was saying and Channing Tatum had his shirt off that he would win, but that if you were having dinner in a quiet place and clothes were on, that there is no way anyone would pick Channing. Apparently Channing's publicists convinced Kneepads though, so it is another runner up kind of year for Ryan Gosling.

PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania field hockey team has a rare out-of-conference week this week. The Quakers start things up with a Wednesday trip to Easton to face a Lafayette squad ranked 13th in this week's NFHCA national coaches poll. Faceoff is slated for 7 p.m.
The Series with Lafayette: The Quakers lead what has been a tight series between these regional rivals, 17-15-6. These teams have met every year since 1974. Lafayette has won the last four matchups, including a 4-1 decision last year in Philadelphia and a 3-0 decision two years ago in Easton. Prior to that, Penn had won four in a row.
About Lafayette: The Leopards (8-1) have won six in a row, and started Patriot League play in a big way with a 4-1 win over preseason favorite American on Saturday. Deanna Dicroce leads Lafayette with 18 points (5g, 8a), while Emily Valeo has three goals and a team-high nine assists. Brittany Blass and Jenna Seybert have four goals each for the Leopards, who have outscored their opponents 27-11 so far this season. Jessica Deutsch has been in goal; she has a 1.26 goals-against average and a .744 save percentage.
About Penn
*At 5-4, Penn is off to its best start since the 2004 season (also 5-4 after nine games). That Quaker team ended the regular season on an eight-game win streak to finish at 13-4 overall. They also went 6-1 in Ivy League play to tie for the title.
*Penn has already surpassed its win totals from 2011 (4) and 2010 (3) and matched its win total from 2009. Another win will tie the program's win total from 2008.
*Penn has already matched its goal total from last year, with 24. The 2009 team was the last team to score more than 24 goals, with 26; the 2008 team had 28.
*Senior Sarah Hasson was named co-Ivy League Player of the Week after recording two goals and an assist in Penn's Sept. 22 Ivy win over Harvard; it was her first multi-goal game since she had two of them as a freshman.
*Freshman Elizabeth Hitti scored a goal and added an assist in the win over the Crimson, and earned her second Ivy League Rookie of the Week honor for her efforts.
*Hitti and Amelia Cohen had two goals apiece last Wednesday night in the Quakers' 4-3 win at La Salle.
*Cohen is Penn's top goalscorer, with six, while Hitti and junior Julie Tahan have five apiece. Hasson has now scored four goals this season, while junior Sunny Stirewalt has three.
*Hasson and Hitti both have four assists this season; they lead the team in that category. MaryRose Croddick and Helene Caniglia have two apiece, while Emily Corcoran and Tahan have one.
*Sophomore Carly Sokach has played every minute in goal so far for Penn, combining for 28 saves against eight goals allowed in the last three games (eight saves with two goals allowed last Saturday at Dartmouth). She also saved a penalty stroke against Harvard. Sokach has a 2.97 goals-against average and a .703 save percentage for the season.
*Mandy Epstein and Tahan are this year's captains.

Otley's Lizzie Armitstead, Great Britain's first medallist of the London 2012 Olympics, believes cycling is clean now and should not continue to be tarnished by past issues of doping.
Nicole Cooke, the 2008 Olympic road race champion, retired this week, taking a parting swipe at dopers - an issue prominent ahead of Lance Armstrong's interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Armitstead, who won road race silver in London, said: "To me it's old news and should be left there. I just find it upsetting because the sport that I love, cycling, is clean now. My sport now is not that sport anymore.
"We shouldn't be adding fuel to the fire because for me, if I was a general member of the public and I saw someone in Nicole's position, at the top elite level of sport saying something like that, you're going to believe it."
Cooke revealed she had been offered performance-enhancing drugs during her career, but Armitstead insists she has not.
The 24-year-old was adamant the men's side of the sport is clean too.
Her boyfriend is Adam Blythe, who rides for BMC Racing.

As you can tell I'm in an animal print kind of mood, makes me feel a little feisty! Saturday night we were invited out for a birthday dinner in Downtown L.A. and I couldn't throw this dress on fast enough. The Natural Leopard Surplice Chalice dress (courtesy of Torrid) was a perfect pick for our night out. It's a great alternative for the normal jeans and top combo. It fit me really well, but as you can tell I did have to put a tank underneath so I didn't show all the goods. I don't think the hubby would of liked that. LOL! I really liked the length and how it hit right at the top of the knee. I'm 5'6, a size 16, and this dress is a Torrid's size 1. And like always, I kept the styling simple, because it's a bolder print. How would you have worn this dress?

Taylor Swift channels '60s icon on stage with the Stones
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio | Listen to Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Forget about playing Joni Mitchell. Taylor Swift should set her sights on portraying Marianne Faithfull instead. The blond superstar did an admirable job of channeling the '60s icon Monday night, when she joined the Rolling Stones on stage for a rendition of "As Tears Go By."
The ballad, of course, was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, but was released first by Faithfull in 1964 before the Stones dropped their own version a year later.
In addition to the song, Faithfull also had a well-publicized relationship with Jagger which began nearly 50 years ago--the likes of which was almost eerily reflected in Swift's fresh and pretty duet/dance with the classic rock frontman on Chicago's United Center stage. Swift's long blond hair and mod romper combined to make her a visual dead ringer for the gamine '60s-era Faithfull.
Filing this under 'friends forever'. @mickjagger twitter.com/taylorswift13/…— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) June 4, 2013
Filing this under 'never in my wildest dreams'.Thank you @rollingstones for inviting me to Chicago to sing with you. twitter.com/taylorswift13/…— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) June 4, 2013
The Rolling Stones very rarely perform "As Tears Go By" in concert, a fact that Jagger made note of before introducing Swift to the Chicago crowd.

Hanswarft 1
25859 Hallig Hooge
Phone +49 (0)4849 9100
The flat, undyked Hallig islands situated in the Wadden Sea are the perfect place to experience life on the coastal mudflats and the constant ebb and flow of the tides. Up to thirty times a year the islands are completely submerged by water – a perfectly normal occurrence for residents, a source of fascination for visitors.
The houses are built on protective man-made hills, known as Warften. When the water recedes after a couple of hours, life returns to normal.
These sparsely populated islands were formed by storm tides hundreds of years ago. Today they serve as a natural breakwater, protecting the coastline on the mainland. In 2001 the inhabitants of the five larger Hallig islands (Gröde, Hooge, Langeness, Nordstrandischmoor and Oland) voluntarily opted to join the existing Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea biosphere reserve as a development zone in order to farm more sustainably and to live in harmony with nature.
People and nature in perfect harmony
The coastal wetlands and salt marshes are home to some 250 species of animal that you won't find anywhere else on earth. Every spring and every autumn, millions of migratory birds stop at the Wadden Sea as they journey between their breeding grounds in Siberia, Greenland and Canada and their winter habitat in the south. When the tide is out, the sea bed provides them with plentiful food for their long trip.
Between the coast and the Hallig islands
Here, the journey is the destination. If you travel to the Hallig islands by boat, you might see seal colonies, complete with seal pups, or learn from a fishermen what delicious offerings are to be found in the sea.
When the tide is out on the mudflats, you can walk across the sea bed, but only in the company of one of the expert guides, who'll tell you all about the mudflat worms, the molluscs and the marine life in the tidal channels. You might even find some amber, a highly sought-after material used in traditional regional jewellery.
Magical traditions and customs
Each season brings a new spectacle to the Hallig islands. At the end of February traditional bonfires known as biike are lit to drive out the winter. Spring sees the arrival of the migratory birds and the Brent Goose Festival. Whether visiting for the day or staying overnight, guests are always welcome to join in with the local customs such as Frisian bowling or the lock festival. You can also admire the traditional costumes that have been making a reappearance on celebratory occasions since the mid-90s. In summer the salt marshes are in bloom and you can explore the Wadden Sea on foot. In autumn, a strong breeze blows across the mudflats, and lovingly maintained museums and exhibitions offer shelter from the wind and the elements. And in winter? The cold months are a time of idyllic peace and quiet with only the occasional roar of the sea to be heard.

Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
oh shit, didn't know anything about that. 'phone me' 0800 stuff is embarrassing.
here's a vid where JDS talks about Hunt
if anyone watches this and can be arsed to summarize what he said, that would be very kind, can't watch it myself
Last edited by Jimmy Boogaloo; 24-05-2013 at 01:01 PM.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
theres a video somewhere from yesterday where Hunt states that his drive to fight and win is because he thinks he's the best fighter on the planet an people keep telling him he's not good enough.
can't find the video but it's a good watch.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
Losing to McCorkle wasn't the best start but anyone who beat a prime Wanderlei Silva and a prime Mirko Cro Cop definitely deserved another chance lol.
At the media scrum yesterday Dana described Hunt's story as one of the best stories in the history of sport.
If he gets by Dos Santos and then wins the title i'd say we would have a story that would outshine the Rocky films!
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
Seems like if jds wants to take him down and sub him then he could do so fairly easily. I think most people are pulling for hunt but I just have a feeling that jds will stand with him and tko him after hunt gasses. Hope I'm wrong.
Fuck no-gi
http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Min...os-Silva-52735"I think 'Cigano's' ground game is the big difference in this fight, and he can take it. 'Cigano' and Hunt are two great strikers. Hunt has very heavy hands and is a great counterpuncher. 'Cigano' has to try to keep the fight at a distance, using his larger size, and go for the takedown when they're in the clinch. 'Cigano' has a great game on the floor. This is his fourth camp with Ramon Lemos, who's an excellent ground coach. I believe that taking Hunto to the ground is his great

Orem • A group of Warriors huddled along the first-base line and started their roar. They couldn't quite contain the emotion suddenly befallen on them as they held a navy blue jersey to the sky. The jersey had the No. 6 on the back and read "Warriors" across the chest.
Then they screamed his name.
"We see you, K.J.!" one Warrior yelled.
"I miss you, K.J.," said senior Jake Lindsey, tears flooding his face.
On a misty May day, the Snow Canyon Warriors saw K.J. Harrison, and K.J. Harrison saw them win their second consecutive Class 3A state championship at Utah Valley University. The Warriors won three games in seven hours, including two in a row against rival Desert Hills. The 7-1 win in Game 2 capped a season dedicated to a loved one lost.
Kreg "K.J." Harrison, a 16-year-old rising sophomore star, drowned last June in Supai Canyon on the west side of the Grand Canyon weeks after the Warriors defeated Juan Diego to win the 2012 title.
"I think we play best," junior Clint Gates said, "when our team is facing adversity."
Snow Canyon faced more than adversity entering Saturday. It faced talent, tests and a rival it had lost to in three straight games, most recently in Friday's 3A winners bracket final.
But the Warriors defeated Spanish Fork 5-2 in the losers bracket finale Saturday morning to earn a rematch with the Desert Hills Thunder, who hadn't lost a game to a 3A opponent all season.
"Because K.J. wasn't with us," Lindsey said, "we knew we'd have to play every game like it was our last."
Lindsey did. He had five RBIs in what could have been his last game in a Warrior uniform, including a two-run homer in Snow Canyon's 16-6 five-inning Game 1 rout of the Thunder.
The Warriors, previously confounded by the Thunder, cleared the rain clouds from the get-go and raked hit after hit while taking advantage of five Desert Hills errors.
"We were not going to have any letdowns," said senior Chandler Day, who had five hits in the two games against the Thunder.
The Warriors kept their word.
In Game 2 of the impromptu Region 9 3A title game series, Snow Canyon continued to do what it started against the Dons: base hit, run, take the lead and hold onto it.
Tyler Wardell drove in Gates and Day in the bottom of the first inning. Day doubled home Mason Smith in the bottom of the second, and the Warriors offense would put continuous pressure on the Desert Hills defense from there, scoring two more runs on errors or infield singles.
And there was Gates, a small yet stout lefty who handcuffed the Thunder offense inning after inning. He pitched into trouble and wiggled his way out. He finished it out, pitching seven dazzling innings with just one earned run in the 7-1 victory.
"We couldn't take him out," Snow Canyon coach Reed Secrist said.
He didn't. The icy touch previously hanging around the Warriors when they played the Thunder turned into fiery demeanor. When Gates induced a weak fly ball into center for the final out of the game, the players, as most do, piled near the pitching mound.
No. 6 was there, that navy blue jersey hanging alone in the dugout, but Secrist couldn't help but think what this season would have been like had K.J. Harrison been in the lineup each day.
"It'd be nice if he was standing here with us right now," Secrist said, "because he'd definitely been one of our guys this year and definitely would have contributed to this."
Jake Lindsey still couldn't contain the emotion. His wrists were taped with the "6" on each arm and his eyes were turning more red. He was with Harrison on the field celebrating euphoria at Kearns High School last year.
"We realized who we were playing for," Lindsey said. "K.J. was going to guide us through it."
This year was different. K.J. Harrison wasn't here, but he was, every step of the way.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made a misstep when he described 47 percent of Americans as feeling entitled to government aid, his vice presidential running mate, Paul Ryan, saidSunday.
"We've had some missteps," Ryan said on "Fox News Sunday," adding that one of them was the comment Romney made at a private session with donors about the attitude of almost half of Americans.
Romney "acknowledges himself that was an inarticulate way of describing how we're worried that, in a stagnant Obama economy, more people have become dependent on government because they have no economic opportunity," said Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Romney's comment, made in May, surfaced in a secretly recorded video first publicized Sept. 17 by Mother Jones magazine.
Ryan also said that, in the Oct. 11 debate he will have with Vice President Joe Biden and the three Romney will have during the month with Obama, the Republican ticket will offer voters "a very clear choice" on issues including the economy.
Asked by "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace about recent polls showing Romney trailing Obama, Ryan said the Republican ticket is "running against an incumbent president with incredible resources."
Still, the Wisconsin Republican said, "We are going to win this race."
Romney will turn the race with Obama "upside down" with his performance in their debate this week, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said on CBS's "Face the Nation"
"He's had a tough couple of weeks, let's be honest," said Christie, who gave the keynote address at the Republican convention. Yet the morning after the Oct. 3 debate in Denver, "you are all going to be scratching your heads, saying, 'Wow, we have a barn-burner now,'" Christie said.
Christie said the debates will give Romney a chance to talk directly to voters nationwide without "being filtered by anybody." He also said Romney performed well in the debates during the Republican primaries.
First Debate's Importance
Ryan played down the importance of the first debate in the Fox interview, saying, "I don't think any one event is going to make or break this campaign."
Obama travels today to the swing state of Nevada, where he'll hold a rally in Las Vegas before settling down in nearby Henderson for practice sessions before the first debate. Romney is in Boston today, with no public events scheduled, as he prepares for his encounter with Obama.
Ohio Senator Rob Portman, a Republican, is playing the role of Obama in Romney's practice sessions, while Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, a former Democratic presidential candidate, is playing Romney for Obama.
The two also will meet in debates on Oct. 16 and Oct. 22.
Romney must make two separate pitches during the debates, Newt Gingrich, the former U.S. House speaker who sought this year's Republican presidential nomination, said on CBS's "Face the Nation" today.
"You first have to make sure people say Obama's stagnation is unacceptable," and then make the case for what a Romney approach would be, Gingrich said. Romney "doesn't have to hit a home run, but Romney has to be at the end of the debate Wednesday night a clear alternative," he said.
Romney Boost
Some Democrats on today's television talk programs said Obama's lead in the polls will shrink after the debate because the former Massachusetts governor will get a boost from being on the same stage as the president.
"This race is going to tighten," David Plouffe, a senior adviser to Obama, said on NBC's "Meet the Press." On ABC's "This Week," Plouffe said, "We believed all along that Governor Romney probably has more benefit out of this debate potentially than we do."
Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, a Democrat, said on "Meet the Press" that Romney needs a bump in the polls to keep alive his presidential hopes.
Ryan, during the Fox interview, criticized Obama on foreign policy, especially the administration's efforts to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Obama projects "weakness and equivocation in dealing with Iranian leaders, Ryan said.
''The Ayatollahs, by virtue of their conduct, don't believe the president when he says his interest is to stop Iran'' from obtaining nuclear-weapons capacity, Ryan said.
Obama in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 25 said the U.S. ''will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,'' and that the time for a diplomatic resolution to the issue ''is not limited.''
Christie: 'A tough couple of weeks' for Mitt
Washington • New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says it's been a "tough couple of weeks" for Mitt Romney in his presidential campaign and there's no way to "sugarcoat" that.
But Christie says there's good news on the horizon for fellow Republicans. He says Romney is going to do "extraordinarily well" in the first debate with President Barack Obama on Wednesday night. After that face-to-face meeting, Christie says "this whole race is going to be turned upside down."
Christie tells CBS' "Face the Nation" that every time Romney was backed into a corner during the GOP nomination fight, he "came out with a great debate performance because that's where he shines."

WATCH: Puddle Of Mudd's Wes Scantlin gets angry on stage
Listen to Puddle of Mudd on iHeartRadio
Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin is once again making headlines for something other than his music.
TMZ recently posted footage of the rocker berating someone in front of the stage during last Wednesday's Puddle of Mudd show in Dallas and tossing things into the crowd.
It's unclear what triggered the rant, but Scantlin can be seen ending it by throwing a microphone stand to the ground. The gossip site says paramedics were called to the venue to treat a concert-goer, but the medics didn't reveal what caused the injury or whether it had anything to do with Scantlin's antics.

What is TechMeetups?
TechMeetups has been setup to create a global network of Tech communities from San Francisco to Sydney. We believe that Tech communities are isolated and great things can be achieved if we connect within our cities and outside our borders.
Our global community started out with the launch of the London Silicon Roundabout Tech community in December 2010. Following it's success in becoming one of the city's fastest growing groups, we have launched TechMeetups communities in the following locations:
Europe: London, Berlin, Lisbon, Manchester, Paris, Budapest, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Dublin, Munich, Vienna, Barcelona & Brussels
USA: New York, Dallas, Miami & San Francisco
Asia: Bangalore, Bangkok, Mumbai & Singapore
Others : Sydney
You can see our latest list of communities here.
Why become a member of TechMeetups?
Anyone who is thinking about starting their own software or web company and wants to bounce ideas off each other and meet potential partners or investors are welcome to join this group!
Our aim is to connect the various tech communities to help our members network, connect, invest and launch products in the hottest technology clusters. We plan to organise monthly meetups to cover various technology subjects that are of interest to our members.
- GET INVOLVED IN EVENTS WORLDWIDE on TechMeetups!
Check out all upcoming events in all our communities and promote your company in one of them!

We know that in the critical window of a 1,000 days, we can provide the nutrition so children have the basic immune strength to protect themselves from simple diseases against which they would otherwise die, and we know that simply trying to address diseases without also making sure these children are well nourished simply won't achieve the outcome we seek. And we know that healthy behavior such as the one being promoted in this photograph are essential to success, even if we have enough resources for the commodities, the drugs, the diagnostics that are often what we talk about in price. It's ultimately the way people behave that determines whether or not our goal, our shared aspiration of ending child death, is actually possible.
As President Obama has said, the interests of the United States align squarely with the desires of the Ukrainian people—and we remain a committed partner as you weather this crisis and build a new future. It will take ingenuity. It will take focus.
But most importantly, it will take the courage to confront a deeply corrosive system that has embedded corruption into the fabric of Ukrainian society. From the massive impunity of the nation's previous regime to the kind of petty bribery that supplements a civil servant's meager salary, corruption has become a way of life.
USAID is committed to inclusive development, not only as an issue of human rights, but also because discrimination and exclusionary laws contribute to poverty. We cannot have inclusive development if LGBT populations are excluded. Their active participation is necessary for our success.
Some of the challenges we face, but also the progress we've made in getting important reforms through the Congress of our food aid and assistance programs, are starting to create a new and stronger American ethic around our collective responsibility to genuinely lead on the issue of ending hunger and creating food security.
We all know and you've heard earlier today that by 2050, the world will need to feed 9 to 10 billion people and will need to do it by driving productivity improvements—in particular, in places where productivity has been relatively low—and by bringing online much of the commercial potential of food production in places like sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central Asia, where there is still great gains to be made.
-As prepared-
Hamjambo mabibi na mabwana. Good afternoon and thank you for inviting me to launch this important project with you. Today we celebrate another achievement that will bring water and sanitation to more Kenyans, and that is truly something to celebrate.
Thank you to the UNWTO and the Department of Tourism (DOT) for inviting me to this conference to talk about climate change response from an international perspective, specifically how we can build sustainable tourist destinations that are resilient to environmental threats and climate change impacts. I commend the organizers for engaging development partners, public and private sectors to make economic growth more broad-based and inclusive in the Philippines. Allow me to share USAID's perspective as a development partner that recognizes the need for protecting the country's environmental and natural resources in order to promote an agenda of economic growth.
We have an exceptional mission, and we do pursue it with some exceptional people. But 842 million people—the great majority of whom are children—will still go to sleep hungry tonight. Over the next three days, as you share experiences and ideas, I encourage you to ask yourself and each other: are we transforming fast enough against our aspirations?
As this impressive report shows, there is no question we have the tools: massive capital, cutting-edge innovations, high-impact partnerships and—perhaps most importantly—unprecedented presidential and bipartisan leadership. The rest is up to us—the leaders in this room and in cities around the world. I look forward to carrying forward this conversation with you over the next three days.
On behalf of the American people and the U.S. Embassy Manila's United States Agency for International Development, allow me to extend our sincere appreciation for inviting us to participate in today's celebration of the Persons with Disabilities Day. I am honored to be among leaders from the government, private sector, and the PWD community, who are championing the rights and welfare of persons with disabilities.
If we are going to end extreme poverty by 2030, it will be your generation that takes it across the finish line. This is your moonshot. And we need you to lead. Those of you who become ministers in your governments will need to prioritize the poor, fight corruption, and demand tough reforms. Those of you who join the Foreign Service at State or USAID will need to focus relentlessly on data, accountability, and results. Those of you who will become business leaders will need to take risks to deliver solutions not only for the urban middle class, but poor, rural communities. But all of you—and this is harder than it sounds—will have to stay connected to the spirit of compassion and service that is so evident on campus this weekend.
On behalf of U.S. Embassy's United States Agency for International Development USAID/Philippines), it is my honor to be here with all of you this evening. The province of Bohol has a special place in the development work of USAID/Philippines. We have worked together for decades to accelerate Bohol's economy and transform this historical region from a conflict area to become one of the Philippines' prime ecotourism destinations.

I'm just trying to teach myself Linux here. I've installed Ubuntu 9.04 as a training ground, and now I've decided to try to move on to Backtrack, but I'm stuck at one of the basic steps.
When trying to create the partition tables, I get up to the 'write' step and see this:
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
The kernel still uses the old table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
Syncing disks.
The irony here, is that I've come a LONG way to get this live disk to boot with the correct xorg.conf, and honestly, I'd rather not reboot.
Is there something I'm missing? Does the drive need to be remounted or something?

Slash, Mark McGrath, & more mourn Ray Manzarek on Twitter
Listen to The Doors on iHeartRadio
Slash says he's having trouble finding the words to express his feelings following the death of The Doors' Ray Manzarek. Nevertheless, the guitarist was one of many rockers who took to Twitter Monday to mourn the legendary keyboardist.
Slash says Manzarek and the Doors represent the sound of Los Angeles to him, adding that they were one of the first bands he remembers hearing when he moved from England to L.A. Slash's former Guns N' Roses bandmate Matt Sorum tweeted that Manzarek was a "genius," and says he feels honored to have had the chance to know him and play with him. Likewise, Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath called his onstage moment with Manzarek a "highlight and a blessing."
RIP Ray Manzarek words cannot express...— Slash (@Slash) May 20, 2013
The Doors represent the LA sound to me. It was the 1st band I remember hearing when I came from England; "Light my fire," I'll never forget.— Slash (@Slash) May 20, 2013
Ray Manzarek RIP so honored to have known him and played with himA genius— matt sorum (@mattsorum) May 20, 2013
Will always be considered a highlight and a blessing for me, sharing the stage with Ray Manzarek...R.I.P. twitter.com/mark_mcgrath/s…— mark mcgrath (@mark_mcgrath) May 20, 2013
Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, Weird Al Yankovic, and actor Elijah Wood are just a few of the other stars thanking Ray for his contributions to music and sending their condolences via twitter. Manzarek died Monday at the age of 74 after a long battle with bile duct cancer.
Thanks for the great music Ray Manzarek!— Krist Novoselic (@KristNovoselic) May 21, 2013
Oh man.So terribly sad.We lost a great one.#RIPRayManzarek— Al Yankovic (@alyankovic) May 20, 2013
Working with Ray Manzarek was one of the biggest thrills of my life. Thought it might be a good time to share this: bit.ly/12qhWDa— Al Yankovic (@alyankovic) May 21, 2013

The San Bernardino County school board voted 4-0 Monday to move forward with the legal process of removing board member Gil Navarro from office.
The vote follows a decision by the Attorney General's Office that determined there was enough evidence to allow the board to sue.That was based on Navarro being elected in November to the Board of Directors of the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, a position the school board determined is incompatible with his other elected position. Navarro has been on the school board since 2006.
"There is substantial issue as to the incompatibility of the two offices Mr. Navarro currently holds, because we have found similar offices incompatible," Supervising Deputy Attorney General Susan Duncan Lee said in a June 11 letter that did not actually decide the offices were in fact incompatible.
Navarro did not take place in the vote or the discussion.
He said afterward, though, that he planned to fight the decision.
"I don't agree that four persons can decide whether I (can) be on the county Board of Education," Navarro said. "It's up to the voters in Area D (the portion of the county Navarro represents) to decide, and if they decide they don't want me there, it's up to them."
Navarro's seat, which covers schools in San Bernardino and Rialto, is next up for election in November 2014.
In a prepared statement, board President Bette Harrison said board members had felt a responsibility to get guidance from the attorney general.
"This is a legal matter that needs to be resolved and the proper channel is to go through the judicial process," Harrison said. "A clear resolution is in the best interest of all parties concerned."
The board's decision was to initiate a "quo warranto" proceeding, which involves the attorney general acting to remove "any person who usurps, intrudes into, or unlawfully holds or exercises any public office" in California.
That gives the district permission to sue, although Navarro says the school board's vote did not authorize a lawsuit.
In another case, the Attorney General's Office decided that an officer who sets water rates for a local agency can't simultaneously serve on a school board.
"A significant clash of duties and loyalties may ... arise in such matters as the Water District setting the wholesale water rate that will be passed on to the school district by the retail water agencies involved," the attorney general found in that case.

Man charged with stealing Rolex watches from Foxwoods
Mashantucket — State police casino unit has charged a Dedham, Mass. man with stealing four Rolex watches worth $73,800 from the Foxwoods Watch Co. inside the Grand Pequot Casino on Dec. 30.
Police said that Thomas W. Nee, 41, entered the back room of the store, forced his way into a locked display case and stole the watches. He then ran out of the casino and took a tour bus back to the Chinatown section of Boston.
Police identified him on Wednesday and on Thursday, while casino unit detectives applied for an arrest warrant charging him with first-degree larceny, they and Massachusetts police monitored locations where Nee was believed to be. They then took him into custody when the warrant was issued. Nee waived extradition when he appeared in Dorchester Superior Court on Friday and was returned to Connecticut. He is being held on a $75,000 bond and is slated to appear in New London Superior Court Monday.

Query Letter Formatting
The amount of time you spend formatting, coloring, bolding, italicizing, and adding pictures to your query is inversely proportional to how professional it looks when you're finished.

Quick, snappy,informative. Makes sense to me!

I'm sure you can't share, but my mind boggles. Are they proposed book covers done on MS Paint? Or come-hither jacket photos? Perhaps blackmail shots of people in compromising positions?
- March 4, 2008 at 1:30 PM
- Sam Hranac said...
Thank you!
Why aren't there more formatting options on this thing!
- March 4, 2008 at 1:30 PM
- Adaora A. said...
How do you do all that to an e-query?
That must mean they're doing the abominable 'attachment' or they are...dun dun dun: sending it via post with all sorts of embelishments.
All look and no substance?
- March 4, 2008 at 1:33 PM
- Linnea said...
It stands to reason that embellishments just get in the way of what you're trying to sell - your writing.
- March 4, 2008 at 1:44 PM
So just a spritz of perfume on the letter is all you want?
If only there was a way to make them scratch -n- sniff...

you can post a picture in the body of an email, no attatchment, by scanning it and saving it to your computer. Then select the picture you want in an email.
- March 4, 2008 at 2:28 PM
Break out da crayons!
- March 4, 2008 at 2:28 PM
It's a pity the people perpetrating these perfidious practices are probably not privy to your public pronunciations.
I briefly considered sending a snail-mail query on colored paper once, then realized that all it did was make my query look stupid. The query itself was bad, but (un)fortunately it could not be recognized as such until you actually started reading. . .
- March 4, 2008 at 2:31 PM
- Anne Dayton said...
But I love bling. Bling makes everything better. Sigh.
- March 4, 2008 at 2:31 PM
"spritz of perfume"????
Oh, no, otherkatie, I'm certain you meant a spritz of cologne d'scotch. Didn't you?
Maybe, if Nathan is an even better boy than usual this year, Santa Snark will bring him a REALLY BIG CLUE GUN for Christmas. Early. Like at Easter. On spec...
- March 4, 2008 at 2:33 PM
- Moose said...
I am so tempted to send you a query letter with a picture of a blanket and "RIDDLED WITH SMALLPOX" written in Comic Sans font underneath. Maybe with a postscript reading, "You can help me develop the plot, right?"
(Heh. This is what happens when I eat a chocolate muffin in the morning.)
- March 4, 2008 at 2:36 PM

I wouldn't even wait for you to finish the novel before I offered representation.

Great post, Nathan. Short and poinant, like a query ought to be.

I worked for a Dallas agent some years back. We received a query from a man in prison, written long-hand on notebook paper about "cell block romance." I gotta tell you, it was enticing.
- March 4, 2008 at 2:45 PM
- Margaret Yang said...
Kind of makes you long for those bygone days, back in 1995, when e-mail was only capable of text. It gave those clueless people fewer weapons with which to shoot themselves in the foot (or shoot themselves in the font, as our dear Miss Snark would say).
This was your best, most snarkilious post ever.
- March 4, 2008 at 3:01 PM

well, well, all I can say is you must have gotten quite the doozies this week.
It seems you're on a query rampage!

When I was in college, I worked in a university fundraising office that was looking for a new entry-level fundraiser. Knowing I was going to be hitting the job market myself soon, the person chairing the search committee showed me a resume and said, "Here's what NOT to do."
The applicant included her measurements and glossy.

I just discovered your blog, but I'll be back regularly. Excellent advice from an authoritative source.
Sorry I don't know how to add color and a banner headline to my comment, though.

After reading Nathan's post yesterday, I decided to blog about queries myself today.
Included in my post is a link to a free download from Agent Noah Lukeman - 103 pages of outstanding query writing advice.
I just got done reading the booklet myself and all I can say is: WOWIE! It's an eye-opener and a gold mine of information.
Here's the link to the blog post. Lukeman link is at the bottom of this post: http://josephinedamian.blogspot.com/2008/03/query-eye-for-not-so-straight-writer.html
- March 4, 2008 at 3:28 PM
It occurs to me that every agent's query submission guidelines can be boiled down to one rule: "Don't send me crap."
Of course, the exact definition of "crap" requires some research.
- March 4, 2008 at 3:41 PM
- Morgan Dempsey said...
So what you're saying is: the bar is so low on queries right now that this is a good time to send.
I hope you enjoy reading the second, fifth, and thirty-seventh chapter of my 450,000word fantasy epic. I'll be printing them in Algerian because it really best represents my novel, nay, my soul.
The paper will be pink, and scented.

I'm guessing the pictures aren't even that good.
What a waste of google image.
- March 4, 2008 at 4:01 PM
- Melanie Avila said...
Best. Post. Ever.
Well, maybe not ever, but I can understand your frustration and I'm not an agent. I've been on the hiring end for graphic designer positions and it's scary what people who really should know better do to make an impression. I'm shaking my head at what you must be going through.
- March 4, 2008 at 4:25 PM
- julcree said...
You mean I could have sent pictures? Man, I wish I'd known that. I've got a sweet one of my cat. Has nothing to do with the story but she's just so cute. At least when I get a rejection, I'll know the world has seen the beauty that is Etta the cat.
Seriously, why would you ever include a picture?
- March 4, 2008 at 4:37 PM
- Kaleb said...
I can't even imagine what would go through someone's mind if they were to include photographs with their query. Unless it's of themselves wrapped in a feather boa while wearing a landscape of leopard print and bright crimson lipstick.

I once tried to explain to an unpublished novice writer that her lovely letterhead, complete with head shot and title 'Romance Author', was going to annoy more people than it enticed.
Message not received.
Sorry Nathan, I think you are stuck with the dodgy queries.
- March 4, 2008 at 5:13 PM
- Just_Me said...
Benwah- I like the idea of blackmail photos. Do you know where I can get some?
Poor Nathan, I wish I could help you out but I'm still in the revision stage and I'm not willing to rush a query on a bad draft. Maybe by the end of the year.
In the meantime, chin up, San Francisco is a fabulous city with some great places to eat an dit's almost beach season. You'll survive.

How about MP3 queries? I was going to send mine in the form of a tone poem, with the actual query read so low as to be heard subliminally beneath it.
- March 4, 2008 at 6:55 PM
LOL, that cracked me up! And scary, but there's a truth to it, but not the truth that encourages one to add pictures and such.

Well, I for one am very disappointed.
My glitter pen is as good as useless... Emoticons may as well be switched off (poor little guys). They're so peppy.
And damn the LIARS who sold me that "Shape Your A** for Literary Submissions" workout dvd. All that sweating and clenching for nothing.
- March 4, 2008 at 8:54 PM

Kirsten, maybe you could write your query with your glitter pen, then scan it and send it as a jpg!

Three Times A Charm
That's the number of times you have to shovel and/or sweep snow in a night, to be rendered 'blog-incompetent.' (Although I'm aware "anon" over at bookends might think I'm always in that state.)
I want to write a defense of query pics sent to lit agents (hey, what's wrong with a little jpeg here or there?), but I don't think I'm quite up to it (still dazzled by all that after-dark snow blowing off the rooftops, like frozen smoke) (too much looking forward to finishing a short story by Gogol, Russian writer) (too engrossed in the Texas Dem primary outcome) etc.
But I make things. By hand. I design the things I make myself! I mass produce them (relatively speaking, if you make a 1,000 of something by hand yourself, it's mass production of a sort). I'm from SE Michigan, where Henry Ford & Co. invented mass production in the first place. I'm a writer who comes from a long line of tool & die makers, engineers, designers (okay, two generations, so sue me). I design things to go along with my poems and stories - it's like translating my writing into 3 dimensions. So don't mention it in a query letter? Hmm...
"It's a Detroit thing, you wouldn't understand."
Wanda B. P.S. Still puzzling over the smallpox-as-comedic-gold reference...maybe that's a SF thing an SE person wouldn't get. I looked up smallpox on Wikipedia...said that it was called "small" pox to distinguish it from the "great" pox - syphilis. Always seems like in historical films, you've got ONE character "disfigured" by smallpox, so their romantic prospects are nil...but seems more likely back then, a whole lotta people had pitted faces...kind of like acne and teenagers before Retin-A and such hit the shelves. You never see a movie with two people both scarred by smallpox falling in love...there's always just the one, wandering unloved through the film, hiding their face in all kinds of ingenious (to the filmmaker) ways...

Need some advice:
Is it wise to send query to an agent for a book that is not yet complete?
- March 5, 2008 at 1:36 AM
It's generally considered a waste of time to query for an unfinished manuscript, particularly so if you're an unpublished writer. Some agents even state specifically in their guidelines that they do not accept incomplete manuscripts. The reason being that it's hard enough for an agent find something salable out of the flood of *completed* manuscripts, and then here you are trying to say, "take mine, it's one of the salable ones, it's just not finished yet and I have no track record!"
But you can try. But you might not want to, because it would be kind of a downer to get rejections while you're still writing the first draft, and then you would have burned a few bridges already.
But mine is just the opinion of an unpublished writer (although I have just been offered a deal at a small house).
- March 5, 2008 at 4:05 AM
P.S. Mona: I was also assuming in my above comment that you're talking about querying for fiction; non-fiction is different and I know nothing about that.
- March 5, 2008 at 4:07 AM
For a (side-blinded) moment, I did not see the 'inversely proportional to' part of the blog post... It was downright scary.
- March 5, 2008 at 8:20 AM
- Taylor K. said...
Mona: As said above, querying for an unfinished fiction manuscript is a waste of time. Nonfiction is totally different however. It is often good to query about your nonfiction concept so that you can find out from an agent if the idea is publishable before you spend all the time researching, writing, and editing said book.
that said, just because agents say that a book won't be published does not necessarily mean not to write it. It all depends on how important said book idea is to you.

The workouts are never for nothing. Besides making a person ridiculously healthy, they really up the ante on the facebook profile picture.

Thanks anon and thanks Taylor K. I just wish Nathan could tell us what he thinks about the matter.
- March 5, 2008 at 11:40 AM
- Nathan Bransford said...
anon and taylor are speaking the gospel. Gotta finish the manuscript if it's a novel (and polish it and then polish it some more), if it's nonfiction you can query with a proposal.
- March 5, 2008 at 11:44 AM
Thanks Nathan. A lot. Would you be interested in a YA Fantasy? and I must mention I really like the fact that you are such an hands-on agent.

Web Presence and, um, Rat Tails
Re: "But Moose is extremely funny and has a great blog."
In her blog, Josephine Damian describes putting the question to Donald Mass, as to what he thinks of a wannabe writer having "a blog, a myspace, a website, if they already demonstrate the ability and willingness to self-promote."
His reply, as per Ms. Damian: ""I don't give a rat's ASS about ANY of that!" Reason: "...the biggest thing I'm afraid of with these blogs is that it scratches the itch."
Well, if those words don't brand themselves upon a writer's brain, I don't know what will!
So having that in the back of my mind (I hesitate to say, with a rat's ass in the back of my mind), my visit to Moose's "great" blog, written by an "extremely funny" person, wasn't entirely innocent...just to mix metaphors, I have to also wonder about "buying the cow when the milk is for free," meaning, if the blogger is scratching the writing itch by writing the blog...aren't the readers of such (i.e., the more "literary" blogs, less focused on nuts-and-blots of getting published), scratching their itch to READ "literary output," otherwise known as novels, etc...?
I mean, I had to ask myself the hard question, based on what I read on Moose's blog, would I want to buy something she'd written. Lay down cash. Or more likely, send a string of numbers and exp. date into cyberspace.
Well, the impression I take from the blog is of a "humorist," and the last humorist I bought was James Thurber in high school. So no...with a cold eye, I might say, why are there 11 pasta sculpting pics, I only really need to see 3 or 4...I wonder, maybe a magazine editor would hire her to write a piece based on this blog...but then I've seen other freelancer's blogs, and they just gave writing samples from actual magazine articles they'd written...there wasn't ANY of their personal life in there at all...
Now, maybe someone will want to leap to Moose's defense, i.e., "Wanda, we don't give a rat's ass what you think of Moose's blog."
But I know for myself, there are things I have posted in blogs, that I "recognize" - wow, I can do something with this, I can shape this into a novel. And then the public output becomes private again...I'm thinking specifically of Moose's "Memories of Being Eighteen Years Old in Manhattan" - they almost seem like somebody went through a short story or first chapter of a novel, and just picked out lines that they liked (yellow markered them, since they are college scenes) - they're great lines - I wonder, where's the rest of the story? Or novel chapter. Or magazine article? Is that what magazine articles are like nowadays?
Anyway, those were some of my thoughts visiting Moose's blog. Don't know if Moose wants to jump in here and discuss how she sees her blog in relation to her (paid) writing career - but isn't a blog kind of a...I don't know...long-playing query letter? A really super-attenuated query letter. A query letter that never ends...a teeny-tiny red flag waved at the publishing industry, continously...and even teeny-tinier, posts on agent's blogs, like this one...

Um. Wanda? Moose isn't a novelist. She's a real-life friend of mine. I was just letting you know that the "smallpox" thing was just an in-joke, and I was pointing you to her funny blog by way of explanation (i.e. she's very funny).

A query letter is a business letter - 12 point type, single spaced, etc... It's improper to send a business letter on personal stationary.
Don't create work for yourself.
Before I retired, I had to act as a "contracting officer" for all the print jobs.
Story #1 - the quality of images on the internet is awful, ugly and can't be used on printed paper. It's technical dealing with dots per inch. Leave it to the professionals. I know, I've bought everything from CD covers to conference displays 25 feet long.
Story #2 - you don't own the copyright and therefore can't use the photo. Let the professionals buy a photo for you. They do it every day.
Story #3 - One pair of authors decided they wanted a particular image that they created on the front of their report. The graphics department threw a fit for several reasons. The colors weren't "pure" nor specified by pantone, there was no true black and no true white. The design bled off all four edges of the page with no allowance for the spine of the book. It took too much time and effort and in the end, a boss chose the graphics department's illustration because it looked professional.
Don't make extra work. Keep the query letter simple black text on a white page.

Real-life friend...and wannabe novelist...and potential client of Curtis Brown. Excerpt from Moose blog bolded for your convenience.
Re: "Um. Wanda? Moose isn't a novelist. She's a real-life friend of mine. I was just letting you know that the "smallpox" thing was just an in-joke, and I was pointing you to her funny blog by way of explanation (i.e. she's very funny)."
From Moose's blog 01/29/07 (which is why I posted what I did about the, er, um, "rat's tails," I did go and read her blog, of course as a writer I'm heading to the section entitled "writing"!!!!):
"Considering that I've only had about two weeks of practice with the fiction writing, it's maybe a bit egotistical to be expect proficiency already. Listening for the phone call informing me of my Pulitzer for my story about the mute monkey is really just giving me tinnitus and a bit of a strained neck. If I have to write six crappy novels to get one good one, maybe that's not time wasted. Maybe that's just my process. All right, maybe five crappy novels. No, three. Three short crappy novels. I could do that.
I'm pinning all my writerly aspirations on the hope that stubbornness is its own reward. Even Albert Einstein said, "It's not that I'm so smart. It's just that I stay with problems longer." I'm pretty sure he's lying because if anyone has historically proven smarts, it's Albert Einstein. But he makes a good case for sticking it out. The IT - the greatness - is something you acquire, not something you are given or are not given. We see people being good at stuff - we don't see them becoming good.* I find this comforting. Also, depressing. But I enjoy writing. I'm happier when I'm doing it every day. So, whether I write a novel that someone (or even two someones! I have goals!) reads or a whole bunch of gibberish that dies under the delete key, I still win."
Moral of story: Don't assume someone (I'm referring to myself here) is posting on a lit agent blog for "no reason" or "weird reason" or "what the hell is that all about?" I'm interested in the relationship between blog writing and the more "official" literary output someone has. I'm also interested in the interpersonal aspect of the publishing industry.
Frankly, I feel like I've just had a "Scrooge moment" - where he goes with the Spirit of Christmas Present to his relative's house, and they are all playing a word game, and Scrooge gleefully joins in, shouting out the answers, even though no one can hear him. Except it's Balderdash, and you all in San Francisco, and I'm in Michigan.

I can never get the balance between sultry and desperate right in my shots. And if I'm holding the camera myself, my chest is too paltry to make for a good 'incidental cleavage' shot.

Thanks for your time, love your blogs.

I used to be gatekeeper of the resume slushpile for my company. It gave me a teeny little insight into the world of agenting.

Hi, Nathan:
Thanks for your blog! It's been incredibly illuminating. I do have a question... When you query an agent that lists a 6-8 week response time AND you can't simultaneously submit to other agents at the same agency, what is the proper protocol for proceeding when you've gone past the eight weeks with no response? I'd like to move on to other agents, but I don't want to step on toes.
- May 1, 2009 at 6:13 PM
MAJOR TIP: email the query to yourself before you send it to the agent. Add any important formatting the computer knocked out (like your hard returns and paragraph indents -- not the picture of Daffy Duck).
Send it to yourself one more time to be sure you caught everything, delete the Fw: on the subject line and the record that you sent it to yourself, and send it to the agent.

Hi Nathan,
I appreciate your response and have been scanning your blog as well as many others for answers. So far I have been able to find a few answers to some of my questions, but there always seems to be a bahzillion more :o)
I recently completed and illustrated my first children's book (of a series hopefully) and am in the process of revisions while I research how to write query letters and absorb the whole publication process. I was curious as to whether it would be appropriate to include quotes in a query. Ironically some of my friends have been posting some status updates on facebook that would represent the market for my book. Good idea? Bad idea?
The name of the series is also the exact name of something else on the market, which I didn't know at the time, but thought "hey, maybe they'll endorse it, go big or go home right?" Is this something I should mention or leave it out? I'm afraid to leave it out because I wouldn't want an agent to think I haven't been doing my homework. Maybe just say that I recognize this and I am open to make changes to the title?
This post completely foiled my plan to include pictures of cute and fuzzy baby animals that would melt anyone's heart...so I was thinking of including a double sided coin along with a note- "heads, you represent me." :oP
Thanks in advance,
- February 28, 2012 at 3:08 PM

Try the airmon-ng script!
I am using a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180 wlan adaptor.
aireplay is working well - i can fake-connect and inject.
But i if i start airodump-ng i get the following error:
Error setting monitor mode on wlan0
somewhere in google i found the advice to try this:
but switch-to-hostap does not exist and i have no clue.Code:Test #1 switch-to-hostap then airodump-ng -w /tmp/test wlan0 or airodump-ng -w /tmp/test wifi0 Test #2 do the same with the other driver switch-to-wlanng then airodump-ng -w /tmp/test wlan0 or airodump-ng -w /tmp/test wifi0 hope it helps
If i start ubuntu dapper drake everything works well with patched drivers.
Any advice?
Yours sincerly
KwinzCode:bt ~ # airmon-ng start wlan0 Interface Chipset Driver wlan0 RTL8180 r8180 (monitor mode enabled) bt ~ # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11b Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.457 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Retry:on Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off bt ~ # airodump-ng --ivs --write test wlan0 Error setting monitor mode on wlan0
Also Ubuntu and BT2 are two different flavors of Linux. Don't expect that just because your card works in Ubuntu it will automatically work with BT2.
Thank you for your response and for your help. I am just a bit confused because
HERE[1] and HERE[2] ist is quoted that the card is supported.
Yours sincerly
[1] ht*p://backtrack.offensive-security.com/index.php?title=HCL:Wireless
[2] ht*p://backtrack.offensive-security.com/index.php?title=Changelog
Choice #1 buy a new supported card- http://search.ebay.com/search/search...11t&category0=
Choice #2 mess around with your shit for days trying to get it to work and the end result is_who knows
I'm not trying to be a ass but in my opionion why not have a lot of cards that work for diferent pourposes. i have a vpn wire less card, a injection card ,what im saying is that $20 bucks on ebay is pretty cheap. dont give your self a head ache with the card. learning bt can be head ache enough at times
I get the point.
But if iam buying a new card, i'd prefer one with support for an external antenna.
Can you recommend one?

Dries Van Noten Spring 2014
There's something about the sheer scale—and yet the modest, unshouty personality—of a Dries Van Noten show that tells us so much about him and how he gathers women to him. You might think that only a grandiose ego could think of showing in a space so vast that his first model was so far away she was practically the size of a doll as she began walking toward the audience in her simple cream tank dress with two tinselly gold ruffles running from hemline to hip. That could be construed as arrogant, right? The fact that she was followed by 49 others, hiking in their cork soles over a far tarmac horizon to eventually pose against a golden screen might have added to the suspicion that Dries Van Noten is into epic statement, too. But no. In the middle of that hangar-size space stood a metaphor for a single person speaking directly to a legion—one man playing electric guitar. (He was Colin Greenwood, of Radiohead, by the way.)
To the clothes. Van Noten's antennae are tuned to the feeling for the Japanese designers which is taking hold all over the place: on the one hand, pleats (like Issey Miyake), and on the other, frills (like the work of Comme des Garçons). A cross-current is the taste for gold, which has already surfaced in collections as disparate as Meadham Kirchhoff and Dolce & Gabbana. Van Noten merged all those influences into accordion-pleat skirts and the conceptual frills which wound their way around tops, skirts, and dresses. "Ruffles on speed!" he joked backstage.
Still the sheer length of the show allowed for a complete picture of Van Noten's aesthetic—his way of hinting at the folkloric and ethnic and the kind of women who've always wanted to weave world-traveling souvenirs into their wardrobes. "I thought about how Tamara de Lempicka, Loulou de la Falaise, and Charlotte Rampling dressed," he said. "And I wondered how they'd do it today." That would explain the translations of peasant smocks in natural, undyed fabric and lace, and the elaborate tasseled-carpet-shoulder bag which lent its influence to tassel-fringed knits further down the line. It's easy to imagine his loyal followers getting plenty out of this show, as they always do. And next February, they will all be turning to Paris again, when a major retrospective of Van Noten's work opens at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, curated by Pamela Golbin.

"The Art of Music" opens with Kyrgyzstan and Uyghurs music
Raised in both the U.S. and Pakistan, Adnan Hussain's childhood of writing stories led to studying Computer Animation at the Savannah College of Art and Design. After graduation, he relocated to Los Angeles to work in Visual Effects and Animation at studios such as Walt Disney Feature Animation and Sony Pictures Imageworks. Along side work on feature films, he works under his company Mad Guru, to create animated films and projects designed to provoke thought and bring diverse people together.
Hussain's work deals with human rights. His 2009 animated short film Gul was an innovative painterly computer animation which dealt with the subject of family conflict. It won several international awards, and screened at Slamdance, Patios Human Rights Festival, Tehran International Animation Festival, Anim'Est and Mill Valley, among other festivals. The musical score featured an original recording by the Girnari Jogi Group, which was later used to crowd fund an entire album for the group when they lost their homes to floods in Pakistan. In addition, the short film Gul was recently adapted into a bilingual, English and Urdu language graphic novel for the iPad.

This combination of creating pieces that showcase rich culture and creative uses of mediums alongside serving social causes and benefiting artists is the work philosophy of Hussain's company, Mad Guru.
Artist Statement
The paintings in this show were inspired by my journey with three friends, backpacking across China, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, followed by a solo trip to Pakistan. Each of us brought unique skills and interests to the group, but above all, we benefit from a love of music and a genuine appreciation for connecting to people. We accomplished this by performing music in Uyghur bazaars, aboard Uzbek trucks, as guests of Pakistani officials, in Kyrgyz homes and picnics, for Mongolian tour guides, and many others. Wherever we found ourselves, despite the rigors of travel, we met with the kindness of strangers and through music, crossed language barriers that our words could not.

The show features 19 original works in watercolor, ink and gouache depicting music and musical instruments from the region. As part of my goal to bridge cultures and benefit artists, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jorge "Tyme" Martinez, a friend and local artist who lent his graffiti born aesthetic to 6 of the pieces in the show.
After enjoying the exhibition, I invite you to take the journey further through the Mad Guru online component of the show.
