A Book in Search of a Buzz: The Marketing of a First Novel
Published: January 30, 1994
(Page 2 of 5)
Long before it is sent out to fight for a place on the bookstore shelves, "Fishboy" will have to win friends inside the publishing house that releases it, especially among Doubleday's sales representatives, who pitch the company's list of titles to the nation's 30,000 bookstores. No sales rep has the time to tout every title on the list. Instead, a sales rep pushes the books he or she thinks will sell -- or, sometimes, the ones that seem of personal interest. If Mark Richard's editor, Ms. Talese, can't convince Doubleday's sales force that "Fishboy" deserves at least a mention when they're out peddling the company's products, then the book -- and the career that rides on it -- could end up in the jaws of a pulp machine.
Most publishers divide their offerings into two main lists, fall and spring. Six to eight months in advance of each season, the sales force and marketing crew gather at a series of meetings to review the upcoming list; the decisions that are made at these sessions -- closed to outsiders -- can make or break a book. Major houses like Doubleday publish between 100 and 150 titles a season. Profit margins are too thin to promote aggressively each item on such a large list, so at their sales and marketing meetings the companies practice a kind of literary triage. They decide who gets the full treatment -- the six-figure print run, the lavish book jacket, the pressure on the news media, the 10-city tour, the television interviews, the advertisements, the four-color posters and bookstore displays -- and who is left to rely on luck.
The editors who are invited to attend the sales and marketing meetings are given only a few moments to present each of their books. "I'd say we get an average of 26 seconds to represent five years' worth of an author's work," said a senior editor at a major publishing house (one of many consulted for this essay who insisted on anonymity). And, said another editor, if an editor's pitch is flat or oblique, "if the sales force yawns or says, 'We don't get it,' then chances are there'll be no tour or promotion budget. Your little novel becomes just another couple of lines in the company's catalogue."
SALES people, of course, speak the language of commerce, not culture, so a clever editor tries to give a book the cachet of a best seller. "At sales conference you never bore the reps with a plot," said Gerald Howard, an editor at W. W. Norton. "The easiest way to present fiction to them is by analogy; you say, 'This book is a Chicano "Ordinary People" or a Yugoslavian "Joy Luck Club" or "Catcher in the Rye" displaced to California.' "
Then again, an editor can try pitching the author, not the book. Nan Talese has decided that the campaign for "Fishboy" will turn in large part on Mark Richard. The story of his eclectic life should make good copy for Doubleday's publicists and, as a former radio disk jockey, Mr. Richard acquits himself so well in front of a microphone that Ms. Talese plans to let him address the sales reps directly -- by way of a videotape that will be sent to them with proof copies of the book.
And thus it is that Mr. Richard finds himself at the offices of his publisher this fine summer day, fussing in front of a camera as he prepares to tape a short pitch.
"Maybe," says Ms. Talese, doing a little coaching before the camera goes on, "maybe you can say, 'This is a ghost story,' so it has sort of a sense of mystery." (There is indeed a ghost in "Fishboy," but a ghost story it's not.)
The author is anxious, sweating through his polo shirt. "I want the reps to know that I'll do anything to make this book a success," he says. "Will they know who I am? Should I mention my first book?"
All at once the lights go on and the cameraman signals he's ready.
The author clears his throat:
" 'Fishboy' is the story of a discarded boy who has become a ghost. It is a story of murder and fratricide and patricide, but there also are some lighter moments and I hope even a love story thrown in. . . . I'm willing to go all across the country to give readings, to do whatever it takes to get this book out in front of the public. . . . I understand that you are the best at what you do. I would love to make this book such a success that the previous publisher will be very angry with themselves for letting this book go. Thank you, and it's nice to be with Doubleday."
"Great," says Ms. Talese.
"Very friendly," says the associate marketing director, John Pitts. "Very warm."
For his part, Mr. Richard seems uncomfortable. A postulant to literature, he has just painted his ambitiously unconventional work as conventional -- yet another tale with sex and violence -- just so he can win over his publisher's sales agents. (Much later, after a few beers, he will ask, "I wasn't too unctuous, was I?")
Now, however, back in the office of his editor, he encounters a more immediate problem.
"Did you bring the manuscript?" Ms. Talese asks.
The room grows quiet. He was supposed to have delivered his revisions today.
"No," says Mr. Richard, clearly diffident. "But it's O.K. I know we're on deadline."
"I know you know," says Ms. Talese.
"It's going to be better," Mr. Richard goes on. "I'm telling you it's going to be a lot better."
"When will I see it?"
Mr. Richard shifts in his seat. "I'm, ah, going south on the 17th."
"I think," says Ms. Talese, "that you should leave 'Fishboy' here -- before you go."
"I need to turn up the volume."
"You need to work."

In my previous post at the link below, I described how I started an eBay resale business several years ago and discussed the steps I took to grow the business in to a profitable entity.
My Money Blog – How To Start A Business
In this post, I want to do the following: 1) introduce to everyone the idea that they can unlock hundreds of Dollars of hidden money in your apartment or house by selling your unused items on eBay and 2) share the three key learnings from my eBay endeavors that will hopefully help you in your future selling.
Sell Your Unused Stuff on eBay
If you're like me (and most other people), you have A LOT of unused stuff around your house – DVDs and VHS tapes you no longer watch, books you have read or didn't read, old bikes, speakers, amplifiers, shoes, unused shoes, radios, and the list goes on!
Now, just think about this idea – being able to get rid of your stuff and making money at the same time! Sounds nice doesn't it? Well, if you're willing to put in a little bit of leg-work and have fun in the process, you can make this dream a reality by selling your stuff on eBay.
How do you get started?
First, go to the ebay.com at the following link, and register for a selling account Register at eBay. Once you have done that, you are ready to start selling.
Now, at this point, I could go in to pages and pages of details of how to set up auctions and sell on eBay. However, there are PLENTY of book resources available on this subject already on the market. So, I'm not going to waste your time by just repeating that here.
My favorite book for general tactics at eBay selling is a book by Marsha Collier called, "Starting an eBay Business for Dummies." The book has a very approachable layout, making it easy to find reference topics. Additionally, it is easy to read for beginning sellers. Pick up a used copy of this book at the Amazon link below!
Three Key Learnings To Help You Sell More and Make More
Listed below are the three things that I learned after many hours and trial-and-error of eBay selling. Put them to use and you will see results!
1) Not everything sells on eBay, so don't try to sell everything! – Use "Completed Listings" Option
As the title suggests, the first thing you have to realize when selling household items is that not everything that you want to sell is going to sell.
For example, on my shelf right now, I have a used, VHS copy of the Harrison Ford movie, Air Force One. Now, let's see if it will sell if I list it on eBay. I perform the search shown at the link below, and then on the left side of the screen, I scroll down, and click "show completed listings." This shows a list of auctions that have ended with products with the same key words as the product I am wanting to sell.
In doing this, I find that only 1 VHS tape of the last 30 auction listings has sold. This is not a good ratio, and will not be worth my time or the eBay listing fee money required to list the tape. I then move on to another item in my house, and using the same system, I can find out what will have a good likelihood of selling success.
2) You don't decide the price, the eBay marketplace does
So, using the method described in No. 1 above, you have found good evidence that something you have will sell in the eBay market. What's the next step?
Well, what you'll want to do is find an auction listing that has successfully sold (shows in green on the completed listing screen). Once you have found one, price the item you are listing at the same starting price or buy it now price. Don't expect to make more by thinking you are smarter than the market!
3) It's OK (and probably better) to mimic the auction listing format of successful listings
After finding a successful product listing as described in No. 2 above, if you like the format and information that is contained in the listing, don't be afraid to professionally mimic what is shown on the listing.
Ever heard of the concept of "not reinventing the wheel?" The same thing applies here. You want to use a format that works. However, do not copy the listing word-for-word because it could cause complaints from the seller if it is seen repeatedly.
Well, I hope this advice gets you started on the road to unlocking some hidden money by selling your unused stuff on eBay. Good luck!
Keep on learning,

December 22, 2015
The holidays are my favorite time of the year! I love the festive spirit in the air. I have heard so many great things about the LA Zoo Lights, which only happens during this time of the year! During this event, the zoo is transformed into an amazing wonderland of glowing lights and music. I couldn't miss out this year!! I had an opportunity to go and it was so much fun. The light displays were so incredibly beautiful!! The night that I went was one of the coldest nights in LA. The frigid temperatures left my skin feeling so parched. Vaseline Intensive Care™ Advanced Repair Fragrance Free rescued my dry skin. When I went home, I applied it all over and immediately felt moisturized. I used it for the next 5 days and my skin felt completely healed and so soft. I have mentioned in many prior posts that I have extremely sensitive skin, and am so hesitant to try new products, but I am so glad I tried this moisturizer. It has become my new go to! More photos from my visit to the zoo after the break….
This post is sponsored by Vaseline. Thank you for supporting the brands that help make my blog possible!

johnsonR replied to mikeh's topic in System Architect / HiQnet General DiscussionMike, I too have had a terrible time with the crown bss usm810 prosys whatever. I constantly had to reboot my crestron controller and sometimes reload the program just so that I could get the thing to work. Well one day I decided to watch my strings as they came back from the USM 810 on my com port to see why things were jamming or not responding. Well, figured it out. After countless hours of reading and tracing the Crestorn module you can download, I found that a buffer symbol preceded by a toggle was not triggering the closing of the recieving serial signals. This would cause the crestron module to panic as the strings would concantenate and result in a jammed com port. The *beep*dest thing solved. I commented out the recieve string logic, and never more has the crown crashed my crestron controller. Well now I have no feed back. So I bought a BSS 9088 and have never looked back. The module runs so smooth. Just thought I would let you know. tres

You have to enter the names one by one (add one, add the next ...). AFAIK, you can`t add them in a comma seperated list.

I also don't want to use a comma separated list, I want it to at like the other entry boxes.

I tested it and you`re right. Comma seperated list is supported at this field and the reason why no "popup" (auto complete) is available.
So I don`t think it`s a issue, but maybe stuff for a new feature request. (http:/

A weekly update of stories previously reported.
Twenty-seven months ago: Two suspects indicted in fatal shooting in Vineland
Twenty-one-year-old Vineland resident Jason Candelaria was fatally shot in the head while sitting in the back seat of a car in the parking lot of a liquor store on North Delsea Drive in May 2011.
Authorities identified two suspects, Manuel Ortiz Jr., now 23, and Jorge Gonzalez, now 20, in the shooting, but the two Vineland residents fled the area.
Ortiz was located in Connecticut a month after the incident, but it took another year before Gonzalez was located in Philadelphia.
A grand jury indicted both on murder, conspiracy, hindering and weapons charges July 26.
Both are now in Cumberland County jail as they await a trial date.
One month ago: State suspends oyster harvest in Delaware Bay
On July 19, the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection announced it suspended the oyster harvest from the Shell Rock Oyster Beds in the Delaware Bay off the coast of Cape May, Cumberland and Salem counties.
The department reported two instances of illnesses among humans for the bacteria vibrio parahaemolyticus, which has been attributed to this area.
On Thursday, the department announced it reopened the area for harvest after determining the shellfish from the oyster beds are now safe.
The department noted analysis of shellfish samples, lack of additional reported illnesses and changes in environmental factors that prohibit the bacteria as reasons to allow the harvesting.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the bacteria lives in brackish salt water and causes gastrointestinal illness in humans. It has a higher concentration in the summer.
Nine months ago: Millville church damaged in fire
Just a few hours before a planned Christmas dinner for residents of Center City Millville, a fire badly damaged the In His Presence Worship Center on Broad Street. The Dec. 22 fire caused the church members to find an alternate location for its services.
The church was dealt another blow in March when thieves broke into the church and ransacked the remains of the building.
Church officials reported the building's doors were kicked in and intruders stole copper pipes, heating vents, circulation pumps and other materials that could be sold for scrap.
The damaged site is now demolished and cleared, and the congregants are looking ahead to a rebuilt facility.
The Rev. David Ennis, who founded the church a decade ago, said the church community is reviewing architectural designs and they hope to start construction in November. The new church building should be ready by next spring, he said.
The plans are moving along and Ennis said the design of the new building will be different than the old one. The church plans to do more programs with youth outreach and the building will be designed to accommodate these new activities more easily.

Kauai: Anahola<< Back To Kauai
No Properties Listed
Anahola is a small coastal village located on Kauai's north east shore. The size of Anahola gives the town serene and laid back vibe, which is perfect for those looking to disconnect and unwind. While the area is designated Hawaiian Homelands, there are some luxury vacation rental properties in Anahola which will give your Hawaii vacation the feel of a true getaway.
Things to Do
What guests enjoy most about our luxury rental properties in Anahola is the privacy that comes with being in a smaller community. Because Anahola is a quaint little village, tourists enjoy unwinding on a local beach, but venturing in to nearby Hanalei, Kapaa, or Princeville for sightseeing. With that being said, there are still some local attractions worth visiting. The Kalalea Mountain has been nicknamed "King Kong" for its close resemblance to the famous fictional primate. The beautiful Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens are in nearby Kilauea and make for a perfect day trip. Complete with canyons, a beach, lagoons, a bronze sculpture collection and children's garden to name just a few of the top attractions; the gardens are nothing short of breathtaking. Anahola doesn't have its own golf course, but the Wailua and Price courses are nearby on the Kuhio Highway. Visitors may also opt to check out the local Farmer's Market on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays while outdoor adventurers will want to make the most of Hawaii's beautiful waters. Snorkeling, kayaking and paddle boarding are all great ways to enjoy your time in the ocean.
Our luxury vacation rentals in Anahola are close to two somewhat secluded beaches. Larsen's Beach, also known as Ka'aka'aniu beach, is a two mile stretch of golden sand with an off-shore reef making the area great for snorkelling. The access is off the beaten track which is why it is one of the least crowded beaches on the island. Just up from Larsen's is Waiakalua Beach. The scenery here is stunning however the waters are known for rip currents. While great for sunbathing, this beach is not recommended for swimming. The safest beach in the area can be found at Anahola Beach Park. An off-shore reef provides calmer waters for swimming and you can dry-off while catching some sun on its beautiful sand.
Restaurants and Nightlife
Kauai isn't famous for its nightlife so this island will most appeal to those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. While some of our guests prefer to unwind on the lanai of their Anahola luxury vacation rental, others prefer to wine and dine on the town. Being small in size, you may need to venture out to one of Anahola's neighbouring communities for something more lively but there a couple of local options worth exploring. You can't visit Anahola without stopping in to Duane's Ono Char Burger. What is lacks in ambiance, it more than makes up for in flavor, and Saimin fans won't be disappointed at the Anahola Cafe and Saimin stand. Those looking for a little more activity can drive in to nearby Kapaa for a visit to the Trees Lounge or Hukilau Lanai to enjoy cocktails and live music.
The Anahola Marketplace is filled with Kauai made goods ranging from clothing to handcrafted jewellery and delicious jams and jellies. You'll also find some great food vendors serving up local delights like Huli Huli, lua lua, and taro patties! If you're looking to sample some fresh, locally grown citrus and greens, you'll want to visit the Anahola Farmer's Market. This is also a great place to try some of the island's best homemade goodies. If you need some additional retail therapy, head on over to Coconut Marketplace in nearby Kapaa. This shopping center offers more than 30 boutique shops and eateries with the added dash of some authentic Hawaiian entertainment! You can enjoy a free Hula show every Wednesday at 5PM, and Saturdays at 1PM; or listen to the soulful sounds of local legend Larry Rivera every Friday at 5PM.
Weather and Ocean Conditions
Our luxury vacation rentals in Anahola are located on Kauai's northeast shore. Because Anahola is a coastal town, it receives less rain than what is typically seen inland. Most of the showers occur in the evenings and any daytime rain is relatively brief. Anahola's weather ranges from a low of 55 F to 86 F in January, and 68 F to 88 F in July, with the area receiving the most rainfall in the month of March. Ocean swells are largely dictated by weather conditions and wind. The Hawaiian trade winds blow across Kauai from the northeast, keeping things comfortable throughout the year. Because ocean conditions can change from day to day, it's important to take precautions, heed warnings and read the safety signs posted on our beaches as these are there for your protection.
Getting Around
If you are staying in one of our vacation rental properties in Anahola, you may want to consider a rental car. Anahola is quite small and you'll likely want to explore the surrounding communities. Taxies are available in the area although having a car at your disposal allows you to come and go at your leisure. Our concierge is available to help with arrangements if needed.
Vacation Info
Our vacation rental properties in Anahola provide our guests with high-end luxury accommodations combined with the privacy and the convenience of home. Anahola is a quiet tranquil coastal village located a short drive away from dining, shopping, and entertainment allowing you to easily set the pace of your Hawaii vacation. We provide our guests with Hawaii's top-tier luxury accommodations, and unparalleled customer service. Contact us to inquire about our vacation rental properties, and find out how we can help plan your dream Hawaii vacation.

Hard Times (Barnes & Noble Classics)
Set amid smokestacks and factories, Charles Dickens s Hard Times is a blistering portrait of Victorian England as it struggles with the massive economic turmoil brought on by the Industrial Revolution.
Championing the mind-numbing materialism of the period is Thomas Gradgrind, one of Dickens s most vivid characters. He opens the novel by arguing that boys and girls should be taught nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Forbidding the development of imagination, Gradgrind is ultimately forced to confront the results of his philosophy his own daughter s terrible unhappiness.
Full of suspense, humor, and tenderness, Hard Times is a brilliant defense of art in an age of mechanism.
Karen Odden received her Ph.D. from New York University, where she did her dissertation on Victorian literature. Most recently a lecturer at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, she is now a freelance writer and lives in Arizona.

A high-octane race between a sports car and a wing-suited sky-diver has helped win a production company international recognition.
Staff at Want Some Media, based out of Wimbledon Studios, are delighted to be in the running for the International Visual Communications Association (IVCA) Awards for its campaign for Nissan.
Their film produced for the campaign, which shows a race between a man in a wingsuit and a Nissan down a mountain, has attracted almost 1.4million YouTube views.
Want Some Media's executive producer, Des Paul said: "We're obviously delighted to be nominated for the IVCA award, especially to be recognised in such a strong field of competition.
"The number of Youtube hits on the film we made for Nissan just goes to show that when you create something that is genuinely compelling to the audience, even it is branded content, you can produce a piece of work that people actually want to watch and share, which is key in this digital age."
IVCA Awards are recognised as the premier marks of excellence for effective business and public sector communications in video, interactive projects, business television and digital media.
Winners will be announced on Friday, March 28 at an awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

Posted 4 years ago
Motorola's Moto X is to be on all the major US carriers.
No longer will AT&T be the only carrier for the Moto X smartphone. Soon Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint will carry the Moto X. Moto X is soon to have its price dropped to just below $100 along with a two year contract for phone service.
Moto X will soon have Android 4.4 KitKat, also.
Now, remember that the Moto X is no Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It doesn't have that big screen. Nor does the Moto X have a high capacity battery like the Droid Maxx. The Moto X is just a decent phone with a good look to it and Google's software onboard. If one goes to the Moto Maker Website they can even customize the smart phone.
Sounds like a good deal.

An update on the Transactional Data Reporting rule
May 19, 2017, Federal News Radio
Jason Workmaster appeared on Federal News Radio's "Off the Shelf" to provide an update on Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) implementation. According to Workmaster, GSA is "going to maintain this as a fairly voluntary pilot for at least some additional amount of time." He adds, that there is a decent question as to whether the transactional data rule is longed ...

The body, which regulates charities in England and Wales, said it was "very disappointed" gallery bosses had not asked its permission first.
The artworks include Chris Ofili's The Upper Room, bought for £600,000, and two pieces by sculptor Bill Woodrow.
Tate director Sir Nicholas Serota has accepted the criticisms and attributed the error to "a general oversight".
"It appears that no one at the Tate was aware that we should have been seeking permission of the Charity Commission," he said.
'Serious shortcomings'
The Upper Room - a series of 13 paintings of rhesus monkeys displayed on elephant dung supports - was bought in 2004 while Ofili was on the Tate's board of trustees.
Charity Commission chief executive Andrew Hind said its investigation into the sale had revealed "serious shortcomings".
"In any charity we would be concerned that such basic matters were neglected," he continued.
"But in a charity of the size and stature of the Tate we are very disappointed."
The commission ruled the Tate could keep the paintings but should ask for permission before buying any further works from its serving trustees.
In 2005 the Tate admitted it made a "technical error" by seeking a £75,000 grant from the National Art Collection Fund to go towards the Ofili purchase.

I was born in the city, studied architecture, wrote some things, worked as a journalist, tried to open a bookstore with some frineds and finally i've spent some years volunteering on organic farms.
Now i'm living in the countryside near Orvieto, working to build myself a better life.
Also, i'm learning to play ukulele.
Ruin everything.
Having wit, being an hard worker, lazing around, cooking, organizing and being a cat.
Also, wearing hats.
And hats.
Well, in those days everyone wears mustaches, so no one really notices mines anymore.
I like Daniil Charms, as a writer. Borges, Orkeny, Buzzati, Cortazar and Cioran too.
Old movies are best. Fellini, Kurosawa, etc. Still, i somewhat enjoy "trash" movies.
I read many manga too. And comix. Old european comix.
I enjoy videogames. 4x, rpg, grand strategy, city builder, mmorpg, etc... but as for now i don't have much time to spend on them.
I also like pen&paper rpg (AD&D, 3.5, Gurps, etc.) and board games but it's difficult to find good people to play with.
I love cooking (and eating). Italian, mediterranean, continental, chinese, japanese, etc...
I'd like to be a simple man with a easy life, but for the time being achieving that make me a little busy.
If you are happy with just talking, playing, laughing, banging, eating, sleeping and other things, then it's ok.
Do you like the countriside? I have some to share.

Phils rally in ninth to edge RockiesJun 21, 2012 - 4:47 AM Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - A two-out rally in the ninth inning and a rare error by Todd Helton allowed the Phillies to upend the Rockies, 7-6, in the middle installment of a three-game series.
Colorado broke a 5-5 tie in the top of the ninth on Dexter Fowler's RBI single off Jonathan Papelbon. Rafael Betancourt retired the first two hitters in the bottom half, and the Rockies were on the brink of just their second win in 13 games.
But Ty Wigginton started Philadelphia's comeback with a single and was running on a 1-1 pitch to Hunter Pence, who doubled high off the wall in left field to score Wigginton without a play at the plate.
With first base open, the Rockies opted to walk Carlos Ruiz, and Shane Victorino beat out an infield single to short to load the bases. Placido Polanco followed with a similar ground ball up the middle, and this time Marco Scutaro appeared to nab the runner at first.
However, the three-time Gold Glove-winning Helton was off the bag as he received the throw, and by the time he reshuffled his feet, Polanco was called safe by first-base umpire Alfonso Marquez.
"We gave them five outs in the ninth inning," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.
Betancourt (1-3) was charged with his third blown save, while Papelbon (1-2) earned his first win of the year despite giving up the go-ahead run in the ninth.
Wilin Rosario hit a three-run homer, while Chris Nelson and Michael Cuddyer each added solo blasts off Phillies starter Joe Blanton.
Blanton allowed five runs on six hits over his seven-inning start for Philadelphia, which received a three-run homer from Michael Martinez.
"Hopefully we take the momentum and keep it going," Polanco said. "We're going to try to turn everything around."
The Phillies struck in their first at-bat, as Juan Pierre tripled into the left-field corner and scored on a Pence groundout.
The big bats came out for both squads the next three innings.
Rosario blasted a three-run shot to straightaway center in the second, only to have Martinez counter with a three-run blast of his own off Colorado starter Alex White in the bottom half.
Cuddyer tied it in the third with a line drive several rows up into the left- field seats, and Nelson followed suit an inning later with an opposite-field round-tripper.
Again things pulled even in the home half, as Jimmy Rollins' two-out blooper to right plated John Mayberry.
Game Notes
Blanton has allowed 16 home runs in his last eight starts. He served up one in his first six...The Phillies won two straight at home for the first time since a four-game streak from May 13-18...Rockies left fielder Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-4 after missing the previous two games with a strained hamstring...The Phillies are 21-4 against the Rockies since the start of the 2008 season...Jeremy Guthrie tossed three hitless innings in relief after White surrendered five runs on five hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings.

i believed in a god once,
prayed to him for a whole week,
i swear, the south is a place of
mundane beauty, written on the
alabaster walls in parentheses
he was silent; you were too
sometimes it's people that i fear most,
millions of years of millions of cells
of millions of bodies,
edged up against the cliff so that
the icy breeze howls on the arch of our
blueprint vertebrae,
the ooze of manifest evolution, we rose
from the slime of the sun and ran
blindly into nuclear tomorrow
the worst we could do is be forgotten
listen, i've been trying to find a way
to make myself content with dying,
we're sacred, temple deities to homeostasis,
watching the summers drain down
with a glass of cool lemonade,
at night, my insides glow like fireflies
i'm made of stardust,
and i'll tell you a secret:
you are too

Google's been hard at work on the Google Chrome browser, adding features like smart malware blocking and factory reset. The new Chrome Beta on desktop and on Android comes with even more abilities, including telling you which tab that sound is coming from and switching tabs more easily.
Chrome Beta on desktops
The new Chrome Beta release for desktops includes a smart ability to find out which tab is being used for that sound coming out of your speakers or to get your image from your webcam. Often, you will have many tabs open and not know which one is making all that noise, but now, you will see a small icon on any tab that is using your speakers, webcam or Chromecast, letting you easily spot and disable it.
For Windows 8 and 8.1 users, the Modern UI of Chrome has been updated to include a new app launcher, much like what you would see on a Chromebook. Incidentally, you really should read James' great review of the HP Chromebook 11 HP Chromebook 11 Review and Giveaway HP Chromebook 11 Review and Giveaway The HP Chromebook 11 is the latest offering, a partnership between HP and Google with an 11-inch screen and 6-hour battery. Read More . The update also lets you manage multiple Chrome windows in Modern UI.
Chrome Beta for desktops is a free download.
Chrome Beta on Android
Android users running Chrome Beta can try out a new visual style for the Tab Switcher, which focuses on simplicity and ease of use. This style is also less power-hungry and meant to work on lower-memory KitKat devices, according to developer Francois Beaufort.
"If you want to check it out, enable the chrome://flags/#accessibility-tab-switcher flag on your android phone and you'll be able to use this new tab switcher," Beaufort said in a Google+ post.
You can download Chrome Beta for Android from the Play Store for free.

i dont uderstand why dont they work on memory effiecieny and memory leaks on "proccess by proccess" subject.This isnt any new thing,and quite frankly its useless for me....
It is however, something a lot of us have been clamouring for for years. I know I've closed multiple windows just to shut the sound up.
And quite frankly,its adobes problem,not chromes.When you open a tab of;lets say youtube..it starts automaticly.And why is that so?I have no idea,noone has ever considered to implement a press to play option,or pause the video/sound if the tab is not "clicked/active".And also those icons,more memory tab usage,its just for the looks.They are getting hardly of the course
Nice Feature :)

<i>The dunce of Dunners</i>
Say what you like about Dunedin's marketing types, but they certainly know how to make a splash.
Short of threatening to toss ropes over the lower limbs of the trees in Logan Park or burn crosses outside the West Indies' team hotel, they could hardly have hoped for more publicity for their upcoming cricket test. "It's All White Here". Good grief. That's not a promotional slogan; it's just an unfortunate fact of life.
It might have even been funny had officials reacted with enough alacrity to dismiss the idea as an unfortunate gaffe when they had the chance last week. But no, they backed down reluctantly on the slogan and decided to continue marketing the theme of a "White Out". Business houses will still be draped in white. New Zealand supporters attending the match will still be encouraged to dress up in white. If awards were to be given for missing the point, these guys would be runaway winners.
Highlights so far have included mayor Peter Chin insisting Dunedin is a racism-free zone because he is Chinese, and Dunedin City Council spokeswoman Debra Simes enlightening us with the revelation that no one involved in the plan had considered the chance of racial implications. Really? Talk about uttering the blindingly obvious. The question yet to be answered is how anyone could not? Are they living under a rock?
This is the West Indies, after all. Many, if not most, who visit Dunedin for the opening test will be descended from African slaves abducted and sold to white plantation owners by white British slave masters. A quick visit to any of the main islands in the region should convince any white-skinned doubters of the resentment that still lingers. For many West Indians, white is not as much a colour, as an issue. And they have a right to be touchy.
Almost all the early West Indies cricket teams had a white player as skipper, in keeping with imperial Britain's view that non-whites were intellectually incapable. Len Hutton's 1954 English tourists openly condoned racism in the Caribbean. Clyde Walcott said he was disgusted with what he saw. It wasn't until Frank Worrell's appointment in 1960 that a black man captained the West Indies for an entire series. Even then, that South African- born buffoon Tony Grieg still managed to enrage the West Indian tourists with a racially-charged slur in 1976.
It's a tough job deciding whether those who claim the Dunedin campaign is OK because it carries no calculated offence are simply embracing ignorance in order to duck the issue, or really are as clueless as they sound. Already we're hearing from simpletons who see nothing wrong with the promotion because, they claim, white is just a colour; nothing more, nothing less. They prefer to blame the entire controversy on (yes, you guessed it) political correctness. The last refuge of the socially retarded.
Thankfully, most folk have more common sense. An online poll on Thursday by Christchurch newspaper The Press showed that 31% of respondents thought the idea inappropriate, only because 50.7% opted for the answer, "has someone lost their mind?" Christchurch-based Sam Guillen, who played for both the West Indies and New Zealand, said he was in no doubt his countrymen would take offence. Dunedin-based Billy Ibadulla, the former Pakistan test batsmen and renowned coach, called it "stupid" and "ill-conceived".
These people clearly understand the reality: that it's not how locals interpret the message that counts, but how the West Indian people and the rest of the world interpret it. White hosts are not supposed to invite black guests into their house and bombard them with ambiguously racist taunts. Not any longer, anyway. The Dunedin connection might wring their hands and plead that no offence was intended, but what are they really trying to say? "Gosh, sorry - we didn't realise you were still so uptight. Aren't you guys over it yet?"
As for the weak apologies (to anyone who "might" be offended), you can only hope these are treated with the disdain they deserve. If any of the relevant officials were genuine about not wanting to cause angst for their guests, the promotion would have been pulled entirely. To go from "It's All White Here" to a "White Out" hardly qualifies as an emphatic rejection of the charge. Quite the contrary, in fact. It now looks like they're trying to get away with it by stealth.
The most ludicrous aspect of this controversy? Only that it's so unnecessary. Out of character, as well. Barring the treatment of Chinese prospectors during the heady days of the gold rush, Dunedin has no reputation for this type of insensitivity and, if anything, has been relatively enlightened on social issues, no doubt due to the influence of its fabulous university. It has always been the champion of the underdog; the spiritual home of David. A shade neurotic, perhaps, but never brazen.
Last week's aberration was just a silly mistake that can still be put to rights, if the powers-that-be are prepared to swallow some pride. There is still plenty of time, not only to scrap the daft "white out" campaign, but to also come up with a substitute promotion that wouldn't turn them (and by association us) into the laughing stock of world cricket. In fact, given the lack of thought that went into the initial idea, you'd imagine they could dream up a dozen new proposals by lunchtime tomorrow.
For all that, I still can't get over the DCC spokeswoman's comment about no one considering the possible racial implications of such an idea. C L R James, the great Trinidadian author would no doubt be turning in his grave. All the great struggles against white oppression, and now this? All the years of white hegemony, of being treated as second-class citizens, and now we expect them to not take any offence? Ah well, I guess CLR was right. What do they know of marketing, who only marketing know?

Method Man
Imre Lakatos and Paul Feyerabend, For and Against Method. Published by the University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London, 1999.
Anyone accustomed to thinking of philosophy as the otherworldly discourse of academics afflicted with what Fowlers' Modern English usage called 'abstractitis' would surely be surprised and delighted by Imre Lakatos' 'Lectures on Scientific Method' and by the book which houses them, For and Against Method.
Given to overflowing audiences at the London School of Economics in 1973, Lakatos' addresses are remarkable examples of the cross-fertilisation of complex ideas and pressing social and political issues. To be sure, Lakatos is concerned in his lectures to treat a perceived crisis in the epistemological foundations of science, but in 1973 epistemology and politics were not easily separated.
As early as the fourth sentence of the first of his eight lectures Lakatos is acknowledging that his is not an "esoteric problem just for armchair philosophers"; soon he is launching into the first of many practical applications of the models for scientific method he is concerned to consider. The history of science (not to mention pseudo-science) is replete with potential props for Lakatos' talks, but the Hungarian exile and disgraced anti-Nazi activist is determined to tie positions on scientific method to political positions, and twentieth century political phenomena as apparently diverse as the Hungarian revolution, racism in the Academy, the rise of fascism in Europe and the student disturbances of the 60s and early 70s are wheeled across the stage, often at considerable speed, to illustrate the dilemmas of the modern philosophy of science.
The texts of Lakatos' lectures form the most valuable part of For and Against Method, a 1999 book Lakatos is credited with authoring with his close friend and professional rival, Paul Feyerabend. At the start of the 70s the two men had, to be sure, planned a book of the same title; after Lakatos' death in 1974, Feyerabend did in fact publish his side of their argument as Against Method[1], the manifesto for 'epistemological anarchism' which won him fame, or rather notoriety.
For and Against Method, in its 1999 form, contains a wealth of documents which aim to ghost the book the two philosophers could never write together. Perhaps the most fascinating texts are found in the correspondence between Feyerabend and Lakatos between 1968 and 1974. The immediacy and openness of the letter-form reveals, even more than Lakatos' freewheeling lectures, the political underpinnings of an important set of philosophical debates. For Lakatos and Feyerabend, politics was nothing less than an occupational hazard, as is shown by this excerpt from a letter wrote out of Feyerabend's Berkeley office:
A few days ago a little revolution was going on in Berkeley with about $200,000 worth of windowpanes smashed, bombs going into police stations, one policeman killed, many wounded; I was on the street, when it happened, and almost got hit by a stone; next day, in both of my lectures, I preached…against "the revolution" (which, at any rate, is no revolution at all, it is ridiculous). Slogan (introduced here by me, but stolen originally from the KPD in Germany, 1929): the enemy is on the left. My lectures ceased to be systematic lectures long ago…[2]
For Lakatos and Feyerabend, epistemology was self-defence. Feyerabend's letters from Berkeley complain of persecution at the hands of university bureaucrats, right-wing colleagues, and members of an increasingly inflamed student body, not to mention the demented followers of Ayn Rand! Lakatos, for his part, had become an exile because of the possible consequences of his defence of what he considered scientific rationality, and there is evidence that he felt little safer in his new home, where militant political activity was on the rise. In one letter to Feyerabend he describes himself as the 'favourite Fascist of the [London School of Economics] Socialist Society'[3]. In the first of his 1973 lectures, he discusses the American Philosophical Society's recent decision to condemn the work of a group of researchers as 'racist, sexist, and anti-working class…dangerous and unscientific', and juxtaposes it with an account of Stalin's persecution of Mengelian biologists[4]. When, in a latter lecture, Lakatos asks his audience point blank 'What criteria would have to be satisfied in order to have a moral justification to burn down the LSE? [London School of Economics][5]' he can hardly be said to be making a joke.
For and Against Method is a valuable book because it shows, very clearly, the relationship between some major philosophical achievements and some major political events. Lakatos, who always saw his 'Methodology of Scientific Programmes' as a sort of bulwark against the irrationalist chaos he perceived in the modern world, is revealed by this very personal book as a man vitally concerned with the practical application of philosophy both in the social sciences and in society.
The mandarin image of philosophers and the naïve or doctrinaire empiricism of many sociologists have perhaps tended to obscure, traditionally, the links between conceptual and social investigation. It is these links that Lakatos, in his work and in his attitudes, forces us to consider.

Finally put the finishing touches on my new UI this weekend. It's nothing special, but I'm proud of it (moreso because I'm completely clueless when it comes to stuff like this).
Solo / Idle
10 man raid
Never really tried a minimalistic UI before, but I was bored and put this together for my rogue.
Of course, it'll change once I get closer to 80 etc, but so far I'm happy with it.
No Target: http://i33.tinypic.com/2v2jmeb.jpg
Target: http://i34.tinypic.com/4h83sj.jpg
Casting & Debuffs: http://i33.tinypic.com/2qjhd3q.jpg
Combat: http://i37.tinypic.com/9sqmwx.jpg
Crosspost from the Rogue forums.
This is a SS of my UI as combat, although I originally created it while I was Mut, as there's a lot more micromanagement to be done.
1680 x 1050: http://www.mypicx.com/uploadimg/4241...08302009_1.jpg
Pitbull frames, Energywatch and Classtimer directly beneath my character, MSBT for combat text, Bartender, SatrinaBuffFrames.
I have Classtimer combine my player and target frames so I have one set of bars where HFB, Rupture, SnD, and my DP stacks are all shown. These are placed directly beneath EnergyWatch, which is a convenient, easy to use energy and CP display mod.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions on my addons or how to configure them.
Sig by Mipeo
Updated mine a bit more. The Menu on top appears on mouseover.
What I'm wondering is - If polished a bit more, would anyone be interested in the compilation?
(I don't have a raid screenshot at the moment but the only difference is basically that there's a damage / threat meter (Skada) between the minimap and target unitFrame)
You may now kiss the ring.
I tend to make my UIs very cluttered for some reason. i guess whatever works for that person, right?
warning, large screenshots O.o
most recent screenshot on my pally (fresh 80)
havent taken a raid screenshot on my mage since this
kepi wich addons did u use for the bottom panels?
and why arnt u using Chicchai ? imo it will look btr
Kgpanels is making the bottom panels. Never heard of Chicchai.Originally Posted by jasje
Thanks Caiti for the Signature and Avatar
aa ok thought i asked u about the panels cause u aint listed it in your postOriginally Posted by Kepi
and this is Chicchai http://www.wowinterface.com/download...-Chicchai.html
and could u upload your latest ui kinda love it ty for the effort
ya ive never been a huge fan of the minimized chat addons.Originally Posted by jasje
I'd upload the ui but just about an hour ago my computer crashed ive had to reinstall wow and everything i had, so i lost my ui settings which i want to kick myself for >.> .... I took Caith UI's New Kgpanels Blocks and just added onto it i think it came out good:

the two blank boxes are Healer chat(middle) and Raid/Party chat (right)
Addons Seen:
Deus Vox Encounters
Satrina Buff Frames
Forte (Cooldown and Spelltimer)
Ill Upload this one once i get a chance after raid to make sure all my Reflux settings are correct.
Changed some colors around ... not a full ss but you get the idea.
Thanks Caiti for the Signature and Avatar
DAMN! Was SO hoping you'd finish that UI and upload it, love your work, but I just can't live without a single action-bar showing, so obviously I was thrilled to see the last one where you actually did have that!Originally Posted by Kepi
Guess I'll just have to wait till you go down that path again.
Part 2?
wellll i can show you what having the bars in the middle box will look like if you want. Give me like 10 minutes and ill give you an idea.Originally Posted by Doberkill
Update: Heres my interpretation of the UI with bars ... only two of them but ya all i can fit in the boxes.
[img width=500]http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6296/wowscrnshot093009114437.jpg[/img]
Update 2: Once I upload these two versions ill have to make 2 different uploads for them because i cant remove a panel from kgpanels in one reflux setting and keep it in the other, i should have both versions uploaded and ready to go later on today after i finish the daily heroic.
