7:15 PM: Blog writing for all you out there... how are you all doing?
I had some questings asked yesterday in the comment section about the gross yeast video:
"Do you wash that before next use?" No, this is waste yeast. Notice the environment is not exactly conducive to sterility! When we collect yeast from the bottom of a fermenter we use a sterile yeast keg (dedicated to yeast), a scale (so we know how much we collected), and a sterile hose. If we are going to be using this yeast within a day or two we don't worry about acid washing. If it is to sit around for a week or longer then we wash it and feed it.
This is before we harvest yeast:
And this is after:
"Do you have a lab where you can test the yeast for health?" No we do not, we have a simple layout and not much space. We test the yeast by the "scratch and sniff" method, i.e. smell, color, and feel. We also track how many generations the yeast has been used and what beer it was in.
I'm excited to relax this weekend! Gallatin County Fair here we come!
Cheers, Prosit, and Skoal!

As of tomorrow I will have completed my fifth sub job all of which (for some strange reason) will have been for Special Ed teachers or P.E. coaches (basketball and dance). Weird. Never have I ever subbed for either of these positions before but all of a sudden that's all I'm getting down here. My first day as a Special Ed English teacher went great with only one minor upset. The absent teacher was still in the building attending a conference and so would poke his head in every hour just to check on me and the students. However, when he did this in his second hour class, one of the students, angry that I wouldn't turn off the light during the movie they were watching, cried out "She's a B!" At this point he stood up and shoved his desk forward, "She's a B!, a B!" Well, needless to say, the teacher pulled the student out in the hall and the other students gasped. One girl sitting near me say, "Aww, did you hear that Miss? He called you a bitch! I wouldn't take that from him if I was you; I'd kiss his ass!" Well, I obviously didn't kick his ass, but rather took it in stride as I've certainly been called worse. The student returned to class, silent and well behaved after his teacher calmed him down and threatened to send him to the office. The teacher was very apologetic, but I assured him that if that was the worse thing that happened today, I would count it as a good day at school.
My second day was less eventful as I never had more than two students in my class at once. This type of class was designed for students who had been kicked out of their normal classes and so came to my room for a designated amount of time in which they could do their normal class work and hopefully prove themselves obedient enough to return to their regular classroom. I had a TA (teacher's assistant) for every class so very little was required of me. Nevertheless, I tried to help the students with their homework. However, when trying to help one student write a resume and after asking him to change his desired employment from strip club manager to restaurant manager, and then having him refuse to do any of the rest of the work for the resume besides write down the job he intended to apply for; and after asking a second student what his homework was, have him turn to a random page in his book, point to a paragraph and saying "that," and after calling his bluff and then having him turn to a different page one hundred or so pages away from the first one and pointing to another random paragraph and saying "that," I gave up. I went back to checking Subfinder on the web for an available job the next day.
This third teaching job in special ed was as a TA for students with severe mental and physical disabilities. I'm not exactly sure of the PC term for this, I know "handicapped" is taboo, so please forgive me if "disabilities" is taboo too, I mean no ill intent, I just lack knowledge. This was by far the most rewarding experience of the three. I played children's monopoly, worked on the alphabet and words, colored and drew, and sang with the teenagers. One boy with downs syndrome took to me, and when I left the classroom 6th period to help antoher teacher, he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He had a book that played each instrument's different sound and songs, and was delighted when I sang "Take Me Out to the Ballfield" along with the trumpet. One girl, Monique, couldn't speak, but sure could color even with her two small, crinkled hands. I loved watching her fill in her haunted houses and scary spiders with the bright colored pencils. Her diligence at cutting out the finished picture with two hands that don't work as well as mine (or probably yours either) was inspiring. She loved was she was doing, and didn't mind at all that my hand's or her teacher's worked twice as fast. She was a delightful girl, positive and silly, even when her classmates would get mad or throw temper tantrums. It was a great day, and I'm happy to announce that I'll be returning there tomorrow. The woman in charge of substitutes came in at lunch to ask if I could return on Wednesday to which I obviously responded, "Of course!"
So tomorrow starts day four in Special Education, day two in "life skills," the class I enjoyed the most. As for the P.E. classes, I could certainly do without. There's no teacher/student interaction other than, "Play basketball" or "dance or I'll write you up." I will say though that when I told the basketball students of Lanier High School to play nicely, one boy responded, "Miss, we from the hood, we don't play nicely."
And there you have it.

Abigail graduated from Kindergarten! This year has been so special for so many reasons, making the end of her Kindergarten year sort of emotional. Remember her first day of Kinder, shortly after walking her in for the first day of school, my water broke and our sweet Grace Astrid Ross blessed us with her presence. Despite all of the chaos (with Grace alone we had 6.5 weeks in the hospital after birth, two open heart surgeries- one of which was in Boston and a whole lot of ups and downs in between), this school year was packed full of SO many rich memories and blessings! On Abby's last day of school they had a little performance and awards ceremony. We got to watch Abby (and all the other sweet Kindergartners) perform about 5 songs for us and afterwards we went to her class room for individual awards. The awards were "candy" themed and Abby got the "Sweet Tart Award" which read "You are a genuine sweetheart, anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend!" Abby's best friend, Julia (aka Ju Ju) got the same award in her class. I thought that was so special considering they both could have received any of the other 18 "Candy Awards", but they got the same one! Those girls are certainly blessed to have each other! Abby's amazing teacher put together a slideshow with pictures that she took throughout the year, while the song "You'll Be in My Heart" played in the background... cue the tears!!! It was precious and will serve as a great reminder of God's goodness through a colorful year :-). We love and appreciate you, Mrs. Gazaway!!!
Abby had her tap recital on Friday night, which was such a treat to watch!!! Their routine was to "You've Got a Friend in Me," which was a perfect fit for Abby because she has grown up with all things Toy Story for the past 3 years, thanks to Andrew.
Her dancing sponsor, Nana Lu Lu, came into town for the festivities too, making it even more special!
Andrew didn't want to be left out of the spot light, so last night, he got all packed up and ready to go to....
get a staple in the back of his head! He was bouncing around on Abby's trundle bed (they have been having slumber parties in Abby's room since she got out of school) and decided to bounce on his booty and throw his head back... the wood border of the bed didn't make for the best pillow, so he ended up with a nice deep gash. Thanks to your prayers, David and Andrew left for the hospital and returned home with a staple about 30 minutes later. That in itself is truly a miracle in my mind and by God's grace, Andrew was super brave. He only let out a small whimper when they put the staple in (he was distracted by having his head phones on and watching Despicable Me, so I think that he was caught off guard).
If you don't like blood then scroll down really fast, so that you can avoid the next picture... It's really doesn't look that bad (especially since we took the picture after cleaning off most of the blood), I just want to be sensitive to people that don't enjoy bloody images (i.e. Jackie- sorry that you caught a glimpse of the staple at church today :-).
I like this picture because you can see Gracie's two teeth (on the bottom) and her Cindy Loo Who hair doo :-)
Gracie got to attend her first wedding on Saturday night! It was such an honor to get to pray for the bride and groom during the ceremony since they hold such a special place in our families hearts! Nana Lu Lu had a playdate with Abby and Andrew while we were at the wedding and you can tell that they had a ton of fun due to the explosion of toys in the background of this picture :-).
The two youngest members of the "Zipper Club" at Abby's recital...
Update on Grace's Cardiology appointment- she didn't have an echo this time, so we don't have a very clear picture as to exactly how her mitral stenosis is doing (her Dr could still hear it when she listened to her chest, which means it must still be in the moderate to severe category), but all of her other measures (oxygen levels, blood pressure, chest x-ray, exam) were stable (normal for her). We are grateful for a relatively uneventful visit! Thank you for your prayers! Will you please continue to pray that God would keep Grace healthy, that her mitral stenosis would improve without any intervention, and that her heart is growing and functioning perfectly for a biventricular repair? Please also pray for an uneventful cardiology appointment for Abby, which is scheduled for June 22nd. Thank you, Village! We truly feel your prayers and pray that you know just how much you are appreciated and loved by us all!

Background Information
Changes to the global climate system influence the local and regional climate and weather in the Great Lakes region. However, Changes to the global climate system influence the local and regional climate and weather in the Great Lakes region. In our region, many of the impacts of climate change are likely to be indirect results of more serious climatic impacts on people elsewhere, including migration, higher prices for agricultural products (including biofuels), geopolitical and economic instability, and demand for the Great Lakes' fresh water. However, they are not necessarily the same in magnitude, and may vary seasonally and over time.
Without swift mitigation, likely climatic changes in the Great Lakes region over the next 100 years include hotter summers, milder winters, and changes in rainfall frequency and intensity. A likely analogy is for Wisconsin to have the summertime climate of present-day Arkansas and the winter season of present-day Iowa. If those changes occur, they will lead to changes in the character of the region. Likely impacts include changes in the plants and animal species that live in Wisconsin, less complex ecosystems, and greater incidence of drought and flooding, in addition to reduction in wintertime outdoor recreational activities. However, there may also be positive impacts, such as a longer growing season. These impacts are found by scientists combining regional climate change projections with what is known about how the plants, animals, and hydrology of our region respond to changes in the ambient conditions and ecosystems in which they live.

iPhone 7c Likely Known As iPhone 6c, "Launching January" - Mystery Sources
Apple rumours crop up all the time but they're usually about the iPhone 7, the company's next flagship which is scheduled to launch inside Q3 2016.
Amidst all the iPhone 7 chatter, however, there has been another handset mooted to be making a return in 2016 — a reboot of Apple's iPhone 5c, the colourful, plastic chappy the company released alongside the iPhone 5s in 2012.
As usual, you'll want to take this report with a pinch of salt — Apple rumours are ten a penny these days and, more often than not, they turn out to be complete BUNK.
Nevertheless, the idea of a 4in iPhone isn't all that implausible. There are A LOT of people inside Apple's ecosystem that do not like Apple's bigger iPhones. Hell, I even know two of them personally.
Anecdotally, it does sort of make sense. There does appear to be a niche for the iPhone 6c in Apple's portfolio; people do like smaller smartphones, especially older and less tech savvy types like my dad. But a niche is a niche and it doesn't automatically mean a new product will be unveiled to fill it. Apple is shifting A LOT of iPhones as it is.
However — sources in China beg to differ. According to multiple reports, Apple will launch the iPhone 6c (yep, that's what it is apparently called) in January and then release it in stores a month later.
Unlike the iPhone 5c, though, the iPhone 6c WILL NOT be made from plastic. Oh no! That is way too 2012. This handset will be a thoroughly metal affair, similar to the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s, and available in a handful of colours — colours (and price) will be how Apple differentiates it.
So what are we looking at here? Simple: either the iPhone 5s or iPhone 6 repackaged with a 4in display and sold as a brand new phone. This is what Apple did in 2012 and it made a PILE of money in the process and if you know Apple like most people do making money is one of its favourite things to do in the world.
I'm not 100% convinced if I'm honest. But, what the hell, if it'll make them some money then why wouldn't they do it?
What say you?

This is all spoilers all the time.
So Vin is a character I thought was super well done in the first Mistborn novel. This time around it's not going so well for me.
She keeps claiming that Elend Venture is a good man and he loves her. This is what she says over and over again, and yet she refuses to talk to him about her problems. She's always being told not to trust people in her head, and the one person she should have the most faith in, she doesn't. Then some dude comes along out of nowhere and she believes every word he says and lets him manipulate her without fight and without struggle. Her internal dialogue is always "Don't trust anyone, don't trust anyone" and she doesn't. Then some person she doesn't know comes along, working for the enemy, clearly with the goal to manipulate and distract her, and she falls for it. This isn't the case of well defined character traits being exploited, this is just maneuvering characters to a position where they can be duped and feel guilty for it later. I already see it coming and I'm not amused. It wouldn't be bad if there was an explanation I bought. Here's the problem I have.
Elend Venture is fucking great. Like, really fucking cool. So fucking cool. He's a good guy. He's the best man Vin knows. I understand, and to some level empathise with the idea that Vin doesn't believe that she is worthy of being with Elend. That makes sense with all of her insecurity issues. What doesn't make sense is that she never talks about it with anyone. The other problem with this is that we're suppose to buy that Vin may actually choose to go with this other guy instead of Elend. If this made any sense to me, I'd still not want to follow Vin anymore because that would make her a pretty awful person. It's not that her choosing to hurt Elend's feelings would make her bad if she was pursuing her own happiness. That's not it. It is the idea that he makes her happy and he is willing to do what he can to make her happy. She loves him, and her reasons for leaving are selfish and self defeating. She won't be happy with Zane for a hundred reasons described to us between the first book and the first half of this book. She knows this, and the only reason she would be doing it is because she doesn't want to talk to her boyfriend about how she feels insecure and he can be like, don't be dumb, and then things can move on. (Note: Since writing this post I've finished the book. This is basically what happens.)
I understand that Zane is using magic on her to some degree. I get that, but Vin is good. Vin would be rolling copper hard around someone she doesn't really know. There should have been some sort of internal dialogue when she wasn't around him where she thought about the inconsistency in feelings she has around him. Maybe I'm wrong, but nowhere does it mention that she puts up walls of copper to prevent herself from being manipulated by Zane. This is just a stupid move. I don't buy that someone as skittish as her would make this oversight.
The final thing is this. Fuck Sanderson's ideas of gender roles and shit. It's really freaking frustrating to have to sit through a bunch of "I'm not a lady cause ladies do this." This is especially frustrating when there are women who did exactly what vin is doing. It's also stupid to have to hear a bunch of "well you just know how teenage girls are. They're all fucked up." and also, "Man, all women are weird, but this one especially so." Just seriously stop this. There's no need. The book is also majorly heteronormative. The only time we get references to teenage boys acting odd it's in reference to how women make them feel. And before you come in with some bullshit about "he's being accurate to a time period", he's not. He has no need to make his society like this at all. Refer to the last post I wrote actually. I don't want to rehash to much of this, but he's made an entirely different society and an entirely new world. Why import our society's sexism?

There is nothing that will get my attention faster or make me jump higher than to be greeted by a precious little-bitty blonde with her five adorable little fingers sticking up in the air showing me, "Mommy, poopoo."
Ewwww!! Yukkkk!! Run, run, run, to the bathroom, don't touch anything on the way, barf, gag, ewww, yuk.
Apparently, she has become quite aware of her bodily functions AFTER the fact. I've tried to introduce the potty, which she loves to sit on, but just doesn't get the idea of what is actually supposed to happen while there. But she will tell me, "wee wee" and grab herself after the incident and of course she has to go examining herself to see what is the issue after the "poo poo" fact.
Ewww. But this is a stage we are in and it will pass all too quickly and later I'll reminiscence and laugh. However, I should be in really good shape for as much as I have to jump and run with her!!

What is CAA record?
The Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) DNS Resource Record allows a DNS domain name holder to specify one or more Certification Authorities (CAs) authorized to issue certificates for that domain. CAA records can set policy for the entire domain, or for specific hostnames. They are also inherited by subdomains, therefore a CAA record set on domain.com will also apply to any subdomain, such as subdomain.domain.com (unless overridden). CAA records can control the issuance single-name certificates, wildcard certificates, or both.
Flag in the CAA records
All CAA records will have the default issuer critical value of 0, which means they are "not critical". Flag 128 is used for "critical"
Type in the CAA records
Type allows you to choose how you want certificates to be issued by the CA. Each CAA record can contain only one tag-value pair.
issue: Explicitly authorizes a single certificate authority to issue a certificate (any type) for the hostname.
issuewild: Authorization to issue certificates that specify a wildcard domain. Please note: issuewild properties take precedence over issue properties when specified.
iodef: (Incident Description Exchange Format) Specifies a means of reporting certificate issue requests or cases of certificate issue for the corresponding domain that violate the security policy of the issuer or the domain name holder.
Value in the CAA records
The Value field in the CAA records specify the domain name of the CA provider who is allowed to issue SSL certificated for your domain.

remove the back brake drums ,slacken handbrake cable then run a mini grinder around the lip on the edge of the drum .Then adjust the auto adjusters manully so when the drum is push on it just goes on ,tap with a hammer all around the drum to level the shoes and if need be adjust up a bit more ,then when finished re-adjust the cable so you have three notches on handbrake lever

Kara Home Rumor Substantiated
From Today's Asbury Park Press
"Some companies have filed documents with the Monmouth County clerk's office, saying that Kara Homes Inc. of East Brunswick -- which anticipates filing for bankruptcy -- has not paid them for work.
For instance, Whitman Construction LLC said that Kara owes $44,326.75 for siding and roofing work done on a project in Sea Bright, according to a Notice of Unpaid Balance and Right to File Lien.
On Sept. 12, H&D Prime Construction Inc. filed a notice that it was owed $146,323 for supplying and installing siding and stucco at Kara at the Tradewinds in Sea Bright."

Fantasy NASCAR Recommendations for 2011 Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway
Posted by chadmusselman on June 27, 2011
The boys are back in Daytona for the Coke Zero 400. This is a pretty cool race, seeing the cars under the lights with all of their special paint jobs for the 4th of July weekend. It also helps that Daytona provides some tight racing and close finishes. For your team this week, it seems that chasers may be the easy pick. Nine of last year's chasers are the hottest drivers having the top average finish over the last five races. No one is hotter than Kurt Busch and his 5.4 average finish. Will he be the chaser to put on your team this week?
This Week's Recommendations:
Chaser: Kurt Busch
Yes, Kurt Busch is the Chaser that you should have on your team this week. Kurt doesn't have a win at the track yet, but don't let that scare you away. Not only does Kurt have the best average finish over the past five races, he has 7 top ten finishes in the last 8 races at Daytona. He's fourth in points and is having a great season. Kurt Busch should be on your team.
Alternate Chaser: Carl Edwards
Edwards doesn't have the best record in Daytona with 0 wins, 4 top five and 6 top ten finishes in 13 career races, but he does have four consecutive finishes inside the top ten which no other driver has. Oh, and he is the points leader right now, let's not forget that. Only 7.3% of you had Edwards on your team last week, so he could be worth picking up and gaining points on the competition.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Among active drivers Earnhardt Jr. has the 4th best average finish at Daytona. Two of his 18 career wins have come in Daytona as well. Dale really made his name at restrictor plate races and there's no reason he would do poorly this weekend. If he avoids trouble he should finish in the top ten. Of the races he finished outside of the top ten he was 35th, 29th, 36th, 32nd, 36th, 27th, 39th, 24th, 13th, & 13th. So, stay out of trouble and Earnhardt should get you a top ten.
Juan Montoya
In Montoya's first five races at Daytona his average finish was 27th with 14th being his best. Since then, in his next four races at the track, he finished 9th, 10th, 27th, and 6th with an average finish of 13th. It looks like Montoya has figured out the superspeedway and gained some respect from other drivers to give him the room needed to stay in the race to the end.
Dark Horse: David Ragan
In David's 9 career races at the track he has collected 3 top ten and 2 top five finishes with an average finish of 16.8. After Sonoma Ragan fell two spots to 20th in points, but look for him to have a rebound this week at Daytona and contend for a top 15 finish. He's not a bad driver and does have 4 top ten finishes this season, so it's not out of the question.

Prettier Than Elizabeth Taylor: Part 2
There she was! Taking her victory walk.
Teasing long before Dita: Natalie as Gypsy.
So not Mary Anne.
I wanted to be a pretty little girl. I hoped to grow up to be a siren. It is with amusement and a pinch of shame that I reveal to you that my mom got me to take baths through playing up a rivalry (one-sided, needless to say) that I had with Elizabeth Taylor. I aspired to be the prettiest girl in the world. Mom would tell me that I was, except when I needed washing, then the title of the prettiest went to Elizabeth. So, I'd get myself clean and check with Mom, "Am I prettier than Elizabeth Taylor?" "Prettier than Elizabeth Taylor."
No wonder I'm such a wreck now.
I had a crush on, and wanted to be Ginger on Gilligan's Island played by the lovely Tina Louise. To heck with the wholesome Mary Anne, Ginger was a real glamour girl. She had the heavy lids, heavier makeup and slinky wardrobe that I wished to grow into. I cut her picture out of the TV guide and colored her hair red with my orange marker. I cherished the secret hope that my third grade teacher, Mrs. Y, also a redhead, was Tina Louise in disguise. In retrospect, she probably wasn't.
Career wise, I really thought that I would be a ballerina, but my ambitions also ran to both Miss America and Gypsy Rose Lee as played by Natalie Wood in Gypsy. I dressed up and practiced for both positions in front of my bedroom mirror. Rosebud printed flannel jammies were covered by my grandma's nylon nighties, lots of costume jewelry and an air of triumph, as I paraded down imaginary stages.
Who knew what adulthood really had in store? Can you imagine me telling Nellie that she would be a librarian someday?
Labels: glamorous girls, Me

Loved your blog today! I don't think that there is a woman out there who didn't at some point want to be Ginger too! Your stories of you as a little girl as so sweet and make me think of my own girlhood. Great posting!!! Mona

Don't Talk Yourself into 'Writer's Block'
Here's what I think of writer's block:
I don't.
I don't think of writer's block. I don't think about it. I don't expect it. I don't believe in it. I don't get stuck in it. Ever.
Let me be clear. The state of staring at a page and having nothing to write there isn't foreign to me. The experience of not knowing how the hell to solve this plot problem or how to answer this story question or what word to choose here — all familiar.
But I don't acknowledge that experience as a "block". It's just something that happens. I'm not actually stuck. If I talked myself into getting stuck, it'd become a bit like agrophobia (which is the fear of having a panic attack, a self-fulfilling condition).
The phenomena people call writer's block is really a bit like being on a three lane highway and finding your lane has come to a standstill. But there's a lane either side of you that's moving. So it's your choice: you can sit in that blocked lane if you want and you can change lanes if you want. Completely your choice.
Do NOT talk yourself into writer's block. There are so many other things you can do besides freaking out that you can't you can't you can't or the words won't won't won't:
- Lane 1: another project: getting out of one headspace and into another: notes for a story idea, a fun scene in another project that's easy to write, etc, etc…
- Lane 2: a writing exercise that breaks through the blockage: for example, asking yourself what are four other options here, or WWSKD (What Would Stephen King Do), etc…
- Lane 3: Letting your mind wander: lying down with music you like playing and letting your mind wander until it comes up with cool ideas … or it takes a nap … win win …
- Lane 4: Doing something else and coming back to it later…
- Lane 5: Forcing your way through the block: just write something and don't worry if it's complete crap or doesn't work; just write something that moves you on through the tough place and into an easier part of the project to write.
My long-suffering writing buddies are familiar with seeing me do this in the middle of a draft: "[INSERT SMART SOLUTION HERE]. Tony picked up [SOME KIND OF GROOVY WEAPON] and threatened the zombies with it." Those [placeholders] are a way to keep me moving instead of getting frustrated because right then and there I don't know the SOLUTION and I haven't chosen a GROOVY WEAPON.
Fellow wordsmith, do not talk yourself into a block. Keep moving. You can do it.
Shannon Lawrence: Four Ways Horror Can Be Beneficial
Blue Sludge Blues & Other Abominations
by Shannon Lawrence
Four Ways Horror Can Be Beneficial
2. Satisfaction. We love seeing the monster get obliterated, the psycho killer caught, the ghosts banished. Humans seek justice, and there is something intensely satisfying in seeing justice delivered in whatever form that might take. If we can't have justice, we'll happily take catharsis.
3. Horror often reflects the fears of current day issues. People are already thinking about these things, worrying about them. When a horror story comes out that addresses our base fears, we get justification for our fears and can often see at least that single survivor make it through, which gives us hope where we might not have had it before.
4. Distraction. Don't want to think about the stresses of your daily life? Read some horror. Focusing on these false fears can be a perfect way to avoid thinking about other things stressing you out, and the release provided by tensing and relaxing as the story moves like a roller coaster can relieve some of that real life tension.
Bonus: Horror burns calories. While they haven't done a study on reading horror, one was conducted on folks watching a horror film. They burned off up to 184 calories during the course of The Shining. Just think how many calories are burned when that two hour film is replaced by a book that takes longer to read!

Why Did I Write a Werewolf Novel?
I have been asked this. More than once. Sometimes by people who don't know why I "waste" time writing speculative fiction anyway. Sometimes by people who think the genre isn't popular). Sometimes by people who are genuinely curious.
There are two answers to this question.
The first answer is: I wanted to and an idea came to me and I acted on it.
In fact, through there are of course many changes from the initial draft of Black Marks to the final production, the guts of the story remained the same: a man with a problem whose desire to be good makes life worse for him and for someone he cares about.
There were also the details such as the silver allergy, and the curse hitting the sufferer on three nights a month rather than one (so we could have more werewolf action and more complexity than just that one night). When you have something as clear as I had it then, you have to write it. Or at least, try.
The second answer is: I could not find a werewolf novel I enjoyed.
As a youngster, I enjoyed several werewolf movies, comics and also a TV show. But everything I read as a "mature" adult left me either pissed off or bored. Where was the thrill? Where was the polished prose? Where were the interesting characters and the subtle menace and the human being wrestling against his demon?
I started and stopped so many MANY books after the first sixty or sixteen or six pages (and sometimes after the first page).
Because I could not find what I loved, I wrote it instead. And while it'll never win me a Booker or Pulitzer, Black Marks became and is that thing that I love. I'm proud of it and I'm glad it's brought pleasure to so many others.
Since writing it, I've fortunately discovered several shifter/werewolf novels I truly enjoyed cover to cover. You can find my list of completed reads here. There's not many books on it. And each one is VERY different from the ones around it.
In conclusion, I am always ALWAYS fascinated by the wrestle between our inner selves and outer selves and I think it's this that I look for in a wolf novel. How about you? What do you look for?
Terrain and Towns: Doomsday's Child's Tasmania
Let's face it. I have taken a lot of liberties with the topography and geography of Tasmania in the Doomday's Child series.
The terrain around the east coast and for some way inland is largely mountainous. Not mountainous like the Swiss Alps or the Rockies, but it's mountainous nonetheless. Rugged. The country that Lewis and Elliot hike through is based on forest and farmland more in the midlands of the state.
Apart from Hobart, Launceston, Jericho and the Esk Highway (these last two are mentioned in Book 2), the other locations are fictional. The Downs for example–the former sheep farm and orchard that Elliot and Lewis end up at–for the sake of writing the story, I located it on the coast (on the Tasman Highway) and in the triangle between the Elephant Pass Road and the Esk Main Road. But very very little of the types of properties and roads I mention in the story to be in that area (including the one they drive in on with the Cambodian families) are accurate. A quick glance at a map will tell you that (about the roads), and the properties along that strip are often vineyards, farms to be sure (but far hillier than The Downs) and there is the magnificent Iron House brewery/distillery if you're ever in that area.
There is definitely no honking great Barnabas Island off the coast (that's sort of based on Bruny Island a long long way south of there). Birns River Bridge (Jock's home town) is typical of towns you will find up in those mountains near Fingal or St Mary's.
I'm a believer in accuracy and research in as much as it serves story; where it doesn't, I believe in making things the hell up. We all want interesting stories, after all, and stories that work.
But I did base these locations loosely on typical places and real terrain in Tasmania (like Bruny). The following images are taken with my dodgy iPad during the 2017 touring vacation my wife and I took, driving from Hobart up along the East Coast and across the hills/mountains to Launceston and Devonport.
Tasmania is a beautiful state. These few images won't do it justice. But they may bring some of the story to life for you. And I offer them in that spirit.
The kind of terrain through which Elliot, Lewis and Birdy flee from the undead horde in the middle of Book 1
The kind of terrain inland around The Downs. This is what they would scout through in Book 2 to scavenge for resources or hunt wallabies. Much thicker. More places for decomposing zombies to hide and ambush…
Two views of a farming property like The Downs, seen from the road and through the wire…
Typical views of the beach and true coast that the residents of The Downs might see across the "highway":
The Downs homestead from the front. Imagine breaching this when you don't know who's inside, nor what they're armed with:
And lastly, while it might not be very interesting, this is the small creek I envisage splitting The Downs from roughly west to east, which will feature in a couple of scenes for Book 2 (the book I'm currently writing at the time of this blogpost).
I love Tasmania. If I were to ride out an apocalypse, I can't think of a location more suitable for it.
On the other hand, if there's never an apocalypse to survive, then "Tassie" is also a great place to cruise around on vacation! Especially without zombies, outlaw bikers and other desperate survivors all trying to kill you.
I hope this has been interesting. If you've visited the Apple Isle, please comment with your experiences and favourite places; I'd love to hear of it.

Emerian Rich: 5 Questions, 1 Statement
Pete: Who the heck are you and why are you on my blog?
Emerian: I am Emerian Rich, horror writer, artist, and Horror Hostess of HorrorAddicts.net. I came to tell you and your readers about my new vampire book, Dusk's Warriors.
Pete: Vampires have been done to death. What makes your book special?
Emerian: Dusk's Warriors has the traditional kind of vampires who thirst for blood and then three other kinds. These other three vampires have different "elixirs" that grant them immortality. One is a dream vampire that feeds off the dream energy of mortals. I really enjoyed playing with the idea of an immortal elixir and how different emotions or mortal motivations could be fed upon.
Pete: They say writers are their characters. Is there any character that you identify especially?
Emerian: I guess they are all a little bit me, but two characters in particular reflect my personality at the time I first created this series. Kristine, the meek, mild, broken character was who I felt like I back then. And then there's my hero Jespa, who I wanted to be. She's tough, strong, and takes care of business. As I get older, I feel like I let my inner Jespa show more.
Pete: Do you have any Australian vampires?
Emerian: Funny you should ask. I have a fan who wrote me from Australia and wants me to write one. She has offered to be the voice on the audiobook. Currently, I have no Australian vampires. Mostly because the characters I have written from other cultures are based on or influenced by people I know and have spent a lot of time around. Unfortunately, I haven't had the pleasure of knowing any Australians for a long length of time. But now we are friends that could change.
Pete: Slow it down. We aren't friends yet, are we? What constitutes a friendship?
Emerian: Someone who doesn't slam the door when I ask to guest blog?
Pete: You don't have very high expectations, I guess we are friends then.
Emerian: I knew I'd win you over. 🙂
Pete: What is your response to this statement: You should be a writer who does it for the art, not the paycheck.
Emerian: True. You really do have to love it and not expect much. If you can make a living at it, that is awesome, but you can't go into it thinking you will. After all, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
Dusk's Warriors by Emerian Rich
Heaven has opened up and welcomed the vampires of Night's Knights into a new reality. As they struggle to find their place in their new world, trouble brews on Earth.
Demon servant, Ridge, is causing havoc by gathering up all the souls on Earth that have been touched by immortality. When he injures one of the Night's Knights crew, he launches a war between the vampires of Heaven, the Big Bad in Hell, and a mortal street gang of vigilante misfits.
Will Julien, Markham, and Reidar be able to defeat the evil that's returned, or will they once again need Jespa's help?
Available now at Amazon.com in print and eBook
Praise for Dusk's Warriors:
"All hail, the queen of Night's Knights has returned! Emerian Rich's unique take on vampires delights my black little heart." ~Dan Shuarette, Lilith's Love
"A world of horror with realistic characters in a fast paced thriller you won't be able to put down."
~David Watson, The All Night Library
Praise for Night's Knights:
"Fresh, original, and thoroughly entertaining." ~Mark Eller, Traitor
"Emerian brought the Vampire Novel back from the dead." ~C. E. Dorsett, Shine Like Thunder
Emerian Rich is an artist, horror host, and author of the vampire series, Night's Knights. She is the hostess of the internationally acclaimed podcast, HorrorAddicts.net. Under the name Emmy Z. Madrigal, she writes the musical romance series, Sweet Dreams and she's the Editorial Director for the Bay Area magazine, SEARCH. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and son.

Author MJ Bell: 5 Questions, 1 Statement
At time of writing, I am many chapters into MJ's Bell's Before the Full Moon Rises and loving it. I have literally dozens of books on my To Read shelves, so when I bought this at Denver Comic Con recently I thought I was crazy to add yet another novel to the shelf. But I'm sure glad I did. Excellent YA fantasy that I'm enjoying as a middle-aged male reader. I recently pitched MJ some questions and a statement to respond to. And here's her responses…
PETE: What is it that motivates you to write?
MJ: I don't really have to be motivated to write. For me, writing is more like breathing and eating—I crave it every second I'm not doing it. And when something takes me away from it, you know, like life, family, household chores, the story whispers in my head until I can get back to it. I'm just one of those people who loves to write.
PETE: Your Secret Prince series is YA. What do young people look for and need from a novel?
MJ: Ha! If only I knew that, I would be as rich as J.K. Rowling!! But teens today have so many more pressures on them than what I had when I was that age. Peer pressure and social media outlets are brutal, and I think that's why so many young people tend to gravitate to fantasy/scifi novels. They need a place they can escape to and get emerged in, away from the realities of their lives. And they want some part of the book to be something they can relate to their own life, whether it be the character's personality traits, the character's struggles, the relationships, or the situations.
PETE: What made you choose a French heritage or connection for Deston you main character?
MJ: I fell in love with France the first time I visited, so there's that. But also, the Forest of Brocéliande (significant to the story) is in France, so it made sense for Deston's mother to be French. Why I chose the Forest of Brocéliande is because I'm a huge fan of the King Arthur legend, and it is said that Merlyn the Magician went to Brocéliande after he left Arthur. That's where Merlyn met Nimue, and it's also where Nimue trapped him in a cave of ice. He is supposedly still there today, waiting to be released. And since Merlyn has a BIG role in the Secret Prince chronicles, it again made sense.
PETE: What's your advice for young people wanting to become a published author like you?
MJ: The same advice I give all new authors. Don't judge your success by the success of others. Everyone has different goals, and just because someone else might put out 12 books a year, does not mean you are a failure if you only put out 1. It's easy to get bogged down and deflated if you try to follow someone else's path that isn't right for you. Just do what you can, the best that you can, and be happy with it, for writing even 1 novel is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud.
PETE: What's the next or new direction for your writing?
MJ: I'm currently working on a science fantasy – time travel. It will be a single book, because my life is too full right now to keep up with a new series. I loved doing the Secret Prince trilogy, but it was a lot of pressure to get the next book out in a timely fashion for the readers. And I'm a slow writer to begin with, so that added even more pressure (it was only my own personal pressure, but it was still too much!).
STATEMENT TO RESPOND TO: A lot of the advice to indie authors says that we can't be successful unless we write and release 3-4 books per year.
MJ: If this weren't a family blog, I would throw out some choice words for that statement! Haha. Success, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. In my eyes, if you've written and published a full-length book, you're successful, because it is not easy to do! But of course, I know what they're talking about is financial success. Even with that, I don't know that I agree. There are many highly successful indie authors who take a year or more to write a book. Look at Darcie Chan for example. Her very 1st book sold over 400,000 copies and was on the WSJ Best Seller's list for 28 wks. Her next book didn't come out until 3 years later. E.L. James' books are also about a year apart. So these two examples alone blow that statement out of the water. Sure, it's great if you can pump out a lot of books in a short time. And of course, the more books you have available, the more opportunities you have to sell. But each sale we get and every book we put in the hands of a reader is a success, and we should rejoice in those moments instead of despair that we can't live up to another broad statement.
PETE: thanks for your time!
As a mom of 3 boys, MJ Bell wrote the Chronicles of the Secret Prince trilogy to appeal to boys as much as girls. Readers will recognize several Arthurian characters/places in this trilogy: Mordred, the Lady of the Lake, Avalon, and Excalibur's twin brother sword, which is given to Deston…and of course there's Merlyn…
She holds a Mom's Choice Award (Gold Award Winner for Fantasy). More about her here.
Before the Full Moon Rises (and the rest of the trilogy) is available here.

So What's Next, Pete?
A few readers have been asking me variations on the question "So what's next?"
So here's my answers to those variations:
- Both novels have been attracting terrific reviews and there have been questions about sequels for both. At the moment, there'll be no sequel for Black Marks (sorry!), but there'll be plenty for Doomsday's Child (can I hear an amen?).
- With Black Marks (BM), I've tinkered with ideas for a sequel for a couple of years now (that novel's been essentially finished for that long), but I'm yet to come up with something that won't dilute or cheapen the impact and themes of the initial story.
- With Doomsday's Child (DC), I am already well down the road to completing the first of two (and possibly three) followups. Book 2's first draft is nearly complete. I'm also writing a short story for release between Books 2 and 3 (it'll sit before the original story and so be kind of a 0.5 in terms of chronology). The short story's first draft is halfway complete.
- Like many authors, I have other projects at various stages of completion. One thing I'm considering is releasing some medieval fantasy under a pseudonym. Reasons being that a) it'll be a different genre from my other novels, b) it will potentially be a little more upbeat, fun, PG-rated. I'm interested in the thoughts of anyone who can be bothered commenting here: would it bother you to buy a book with Pete Aldin's name on it which wasn't dark, gritty, violent and full of bad language? Is that what you've come to expect? Or would you like something I've written which is completely different from the noir thriller style? (BTW, you can purchase a book of short fiction of mine — on all platforms including iTunes and Kobo — which would give you a sample of my range. The Kindle copy can be found here: Nine Tales. 99cents).
- There's a collaboration with another author in the winds (maybe two collaborations), but we won't get to them until next year. I'm also chipping away at a scifi crime thriller which may be done next year some time, but I'm hoping to shop that around some major publishers. Initial feedback from critiquers on the first draft is very positive.
- However. In terms of you the Reader, what's next will be more Elliot. More DC. More post-apocalyptic shenanigans exploring life in an emerging dark age. I'm enjoying writing it and that has to translate into fun for the reader.
Hey. Thanks for asking! 🙂
Top Ten Aussie Spec Fic Books of My Past Decade
Before about 2005, I never read Australian fiction. I also rarely watched an Australian TV show or movie mainly because they were no good, and they still aren't mostly.
But I had no excuse for avoiding local writers — this was simply ignorance on my part. Australia can be proud of its speculative fiction authors (and publications, such as Aurealis). I am hooked on local produce now; my palate has become edu-ma-cated.
So it was difficult to set myself the task of rating my top ten reads since I became thus edumacated. But I found it fun, and it reminded me again of just how much Aussie-produced wealth is out there in our libraries and bookshops.
In no particular order:
- The Business of Death – Trent Jamieson. Well this one is in a particular order, since this short trilogy is one of my favourite reads ever.
- The Extraordinaires – Michael Pryor. YA. Lively, funny, immersive and professionally polished.
- Worldshaker – Richard Harland. Also YA. Intelligently constructed world building and a gripping (and at times funny) plot.
- Epilogue – FableCroft Publishing. With variations on a theme by writers such as Steve Cameron, David McDonald, Tehani Wessely, Thoraiya Dyer, Jason Nahrung, Tansy Rayner Roberts, Elizabeth Tan, Jo Anderton, Lyn Battersby. The theme is an always-interesting one (what happens after the end of the world?) and these takes on it are creative, diverse and brilliantly crafted.
- The Ghost of Ping-Ling. Peter Cooper's fantasy adventure has been slated as a children's book, and sure this is a book my kids would have loved me reading to them when they were younger… But I'm an adult and I LOVED it. Fun, funny and tense enough to make you finish a chapter no matter how much you wanted to go to bed, Blue Jade Book 1 is a fresh take on the crowded genre of medieval fantasy. Peter Cooper draws on Eastern mythology to create the magic and spiritual foundation for his world. And the trio of child characters who take on the frightening people and creatures of their world are clearly differentiated from each other. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.
- Ghosts Can Bleed – Tracie McBride. Well okay, Tracie is a Kiwi. But she lives in Australia. And that was good enough for us to claim Split Enz as an Aussie band. Her collection of short stories is 5 stars all the way. Razor sharp storytelling. Seriously: download the sample on your Kindle and you'll see.
- Salvage – Jason Nahrung. Brooding, compelling, pacy. The perfect vampire novel (novella?).
- The Vengeance Trilogy – Devin Madson. Probably the best epic fantasy trilogy I've read and I've read a few. A revolving multiple viewpoint plot where all the POV characters speak in first person. Facinating magic. And political intrigue that works particularly well because the politics are above all on the level of personal gripe and offence and redemption.
- Slights – Kaaron Warren. True horror. A main character I did not like for the entire book and who still compelled me to read the next paragraph. Superb.
- Confessions of a Pod Person – Chuck McKenzie. Tight, clever and often very funny short stories. Definitely worth a look.
Black Marks Winners
Congratulations to the five Goodreads Giveaway winners. Your copy of Black Marks will be in the mail shortly.
I hope you enjoy. Thanks to everyone who entered and good luck with some other giveaways out there…
Chuck Regan: Five Questions
It has been my pleasure to work with Chuck Regan – Artist on the cover art for Black Marks. If you like that cover, thank Chuck! In the process or working with him, I also discovered he is Chuck Regan – Author. At the time of writing, I am 80% through his book Chimera Shakes and have read the first two chapters of Leviathan. I own both books. Great novels. Great writing. Let's ask Chuck some questions, shall we?
PETE: Why book covers? What drew you into this line of work?
CHUCK: I have 20 years experience designing for advertising agencies, and after a string of layoffs (advertising is very volatile industry), I wanted to try something new where I had more direct influence over the end result of my efforts. Prior to advertising, I had spent an embarrassing amount of time and energy trying to break into the comic book industry as a writer/artist. By 2008, and the economic downturn, I was focusing more on writing stories without pictures, so designing book covers for that stuff I was writing seemed like a natural extension.
Some guys I met through Shotgun Honey teamed up and we started self-publishing anthologies of stories—zombies, sci-fi, noir, westerns—and all those books needed covers, so that's where I started with Zelmer Pulp.
PETE: What things should an author do to make it easier for an artist to collaborate with them?
CHUCK: One issue I sometimes get are clients who already have a cast-in-iron idea of what they want on their cover—multiple characters and complex scenes. I tell them you gotta think like a billboard—catch the eye in a half-second. Less is more.
And a little about pricing here. I'm an indie publisher myself, and my budgets are nonexistent (I'm just lucky I already have an in-house illustrator on call), so I understand the sticker shock when I quote a price. I've had to turn down quite a few projects that would have been a lot of fun to work on, but when I quoted $500 for a highly detailed scene which would have required a lot of back-and-forth with the client, designing the character, costume, and background, one client countered my offer with 'I can only pay you a hundred bucks.' A lot of times, I'll take a low bid just to illustrate something cool and add to my portfolio, but a project usually takes 12 to 20 hours or more to complete. I can't think in terms of hourly rates, but a hundred dollars is ridiculous.
So I guess my answer to this question is: clients on a budget should consider giving the artist some room to have fun and explore options. The more excited and involved the artist is with the project, the more energy goes into their expression, and that, ideally, will translate quickly to the audience scanning a real or virtual bookshelf. You want your designer to love doing what they are doing for you, and if you can't enthuse them with money, let them do what they do best. They'll love you for it, and it will come out in their design. Ideally, it will work out that way. There are a lot of crappy designers out there. Ask your friends what their opinion is of the designer's portfolio first.
PETE: Awesome advice. So, you have your own line of novels. I'm most of the way through Chimera Shakes and loving it. What is the inspiration for the novel?
CHUCK: It's great to hear you like that story! I had two editors at a Bizarro publisher reject it for being 'too insane'. Too insane for Bizarro?? Cool. I'll take that as a compliment. A positive reaction from another author is the best compliment I can hope for, though.
Once the guys started dropping out of Zelmer Pulp, I still had stories I wanted to tell—short stories and longer projects, which usually started as ideas kicked around in our Facebook message thread, or through other publishers' calls for entries—so I started my own imprint, 'Rayguns and Mayhem' to put out my own stuff. It's purely a vanity press, and I wholly embrace that.
Yeah, so inspiration. I had just finished reading 'Zombie' by Joyce Carol Oates, which is a First Person POV unreliable narration about a serial killer who is trying to create zombie sex slaves by lobotomizing them. It's one of those stories that sticks in your head like a tumor. It needed to be purged.
The first scene I wrote for Chimera Shakes was of the assassin in the rafters of the rock concert, which was inspired by a fun rockabilly song by Deadbolt, called 'Tijuana Hit Squad'. I ran with that song as a short story prompt, adding in some elements from 'Zombie', making the hit man schizophrenic and an unreliable narrator. The novella grew out of that.
PETE: What kind of research did you have to use in order to get inside the main character Jasper's head (so well)?
CHUCK: Um… yeah. Well, I researched the psyche profile of people with schizophrenia and schizotypal personalities to get the details as accurate as I could. I also read a few memoirs of what it was like to live with the disease. It's always fascinated me, but to be honest, I would probably chart well within the spectrum of the disorder. It helps to be a little crazy to write crazy.
Seriously though, my wife is a student of psychology, and she's given me some concerned looks over the years, but particularly after I read this story aloud to her. I grew up in a religious cult, so the paranoia induced by trying to discern what is a message from supernatural forces or just a random events derives from that cult experience. All of this I poured into Jasper Hobbes.
PETE: Well, I'm tellin' ya, it works. And as someone who works with people with mental illness, I also found it empathetic to someone with such a condition. Last question: How do you manage your time to fit it all in, day job, writing, designing?
CHUCK: For the last couple of years, I've been working part time from home doing freelance graphic design and illustration, so I set my own schedule. I made it a ritual to spend a couple of hours in the morning writing each day, when it's still quiet. My prose-related synapses start to stretch thin after 3 or 4 hours, so then I move on to the illustration and design part of my day. My days vacillate between those efforts, depending on what projects are due.
My wife has been very understanding as I pursued this change of career, but it doesn't compare to the money I was making working as an art director in advertising. I haven't been able to bring in quite enough money to sustain us, so I'm back to looking for a real day job again. I'll still make time for writing and covers, because there's still a lot of crazy that still needs to come out.
PETE: Thanks again, Chuck!
Chuck is what they call a "stand-up guy". I've enjoyed working with him on Black Marks and I'm enjoying reading his work. If you're a writer looking for an artist, talk to Chuck. If you're looking for fresh spec fiction, look at Chuck's.

Villa Dos Cisnes Conchas Chinas
Villa Dos Cisnes Conchas Chinas is a luxury five bedroom, five and two 1/2 bath Mexican colonial-style home located high in the hills of the Sierra Madre mountain chain in the exclusive Conchas Chinas neighborhood, a five minute drive away from the Romantic Zone in the Old Town of Puerto Vallarta. Built on four levels around a central courtyard, the house has approximately 10,000 square feet of living area with spectacular views overlooking the Bay of Banderas. The infinity pool, dramatic winding staircase, hacienda-style iron chandeliers, multiple fountains and weeping walls, brick bovedas, high-beamed ceilings, fully-equipped exercise gym, large media/entertainment room and full-time staff will satisfy the expectations of the most discriminating of travelers.
From any one of several terraces or balconies, you will find awe inspiring panoramic views of the Bay of Banderas framed by colonial period Mexican arches, antique furniture and art. All bedrooms are air conditioned with ceiling fans. The dining room comfortably seats up to twelve people and the house contains a total of twelve rooms that provide bountiful areas to socialize in large groups as well as smaller spaces for more intimate gatherings. A restful stay is assured by a complete full-time staff including cook, housemaid and butler. The large open layout with multiple terraces easily accommodates wedding parties and business events in an elegant hacienda setting reminiscent of the colonial period juxtaposed against stunning views of the Bay of Banderas which combine for unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime events.
Under the Spell of the Two Swans
Caught between the luminous and eternally blue sky above and the buffeting waters of the Pacific Ocean below, you and your guests will fall under the same spell as the legendary Dos Cisnes who nested in the hills of Conchas Chinas, never to return to their homeland. With the spectacular views overlooking the Bay of Banderas, you will grasp all things beautiful, be immersed in the mysteries of nature, feel the savage splendor of the jungle landscape, experience unforgettable relaxation, encounter chances for development, and make your dreams come alive.
Hacienda Living with Modern Day Luxuries
The dramatic entrance to the house opens onto a view of the central courtyard with cascading fountain on the floor below and a view across the living room out to the sea. The dining room provides a serene environment for memorable dinners with the calm sound of the trickling water of the weeping wall in side terrace complementing the impressive view of the ocean beyond the terrace in front. The terrace provides a perfect environment to take in the views of the Bay during breakfast to the peaceful sound of the cantera wall fountain. The terrace sitting area provides a perfect after-dinner retreat to relax as colonial-period saints look over you and your guests from their niches high on the wall. A small informal sala off of the main living room provides an intimate retreat for more private conversations or some personal quiet time.
Upstairs, the master suite surrounds one in Colonial period art with a private sun-bathing terrace, Jacuzzi bath with stunning views of the Bay, and a private retreat room off of the bedroom with flat-screen satellite US television programming. All rooms in the master suite have independent music controls from the Bose Lifestyle system in the Retreat room.
In the floor below the living area, a Media/Entertainment room off of the central courtyard fountain and weeping wall accommodates a large crowd for game playing or television/movie viewing with US programming satellite television from the Bose lifestyle DVD/music system. Three bedrooms are located off of the Media Room, two with king-size beds and one with two Queen-size beds. One King-size bedroom has a private bath, and the two remaining bedrooms share a common bath.
The floor below contains another King-size suite with private bath, the exercise gym, and the infinity pool area with sunbathing terrace and bar area suitable for large gatherings and events.

After spending more than a billion dollars and risking ecological disaster in the biggest oil exploration campaign ever in the Arctic, Cairn has found no commercially extractable oil at all, putting its entire Arctic drilling project in doubt.
The astronomical costs (and the company's plummeting share price) mean that there will be no further exploratory drilling off Greenland for the foreseeable future.
Not by Cairn, anyway.
Other oil companies - including Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron and Statoil - all hold licenses to drill in an untouched area off the north-east coast of Greenland. Elsewhere in the Arctic, Shell plans to start drilling in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas of Alaska next year, and Gazprom in the Pechora Sea north of Siberia.
Cairn's demise is good news for the environment but we must remain vigilant.

This is my January pair of socks from stash. The yarn is ONline in the colorway: City. It was stashed in October 2007 and came into my stash as a birthday present from my son.
The pattern is a plain stockinette sock on 64 stitches using size one needles.
I figured the yarn was busy enough that the socks didn't need a knit-in pattern.

what is already proving to be
the most scraptastically vicious
and wonderful game of Calvinball yet.
I'm gunning for last place.
When it comes to creating pages,
I am more turtle than rabbit,
and I know that with Celeste
hip-hoppitying waaaaay ahead of the crowd
(we're talking fourteen pages
and twenty-six valentines already for her
since February began, um, yesterday),
slow and steady
is most definitely not going to win the race this time.
I'm not in it for the win, though.
I'm racing against myself, really,
trying to create pages on the move and in the moment,
in the course of a busy week.
I figure that more of my daily preoccupations
will have a chance to be documented that way.
Here's one that emerged within the last hour:
One down! One point earned for the layout.
However, as this is Calvinball,
I believe an additional point is given to the first layout
of a first time participant,
So there.

As everyone probably knows by now, there is a nationwide recall on specific canned dog & cat foods manufactured by Menu Foods and sold under various other brand names. Affected pets seem to have signs and symptoms of kidney disease, including, but not limited to anorexia, lethargy and vomiting. A complete list of foods currently affected by this mass recall can be found at:
Most of the foods affected are cheaper "supermarket brand" foods, but included on the list are a few manufacturers who sell "premium" foods: Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet and Nutro. Not all of their foods are affected by the recall -only specific canned foods produced at a specific plant in Kansas within a certain date range. More specific info can be found at the following sites:
Menu Foods says they have narrowed down the culprit to wheat gluten, an ingredient used in the affected foods. They had a "new" distributor for wheat gluten at their Kansas manufacturing plant between 12/3/06 and 3/6/07. It is unclear at this time what other foods were manufactured in this time range using wheat gluten from the same source. Other manufacturers and brand names of food may or may not be recalled as more information is gathered.
If you have any of these affected foods with matching date and plant codes, discontinue feeding them immediately. Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet and Nutro all carry a 100% guarantee, so you will get refunded for the food. I have also been advising clients to discontinue feeding (or eating?) ANY food containing wheat gluten until the food companies and FDA sort out this whole issue.

I wasn't sure where to find out the specifics on the recall, so I really appreciate this information. Thanks!

At first, the food we fed our cat of 14 years, Cleo, was not on the list. But, then more names were added, and I think one of those brands was one we used. Our cat died about a month ago, just as this was unfolding, and she died of kidney failure. Thanks for the information.

It's no secret that I'm not the biggest fan of small children. I find that most of them are bratty, messy and and not universally cute (simply being a child does not make you cute!). It's the select few that are well mannered, well spoken and well put together that I feel warm and fuzzy towards (now that I think about it, I feel this way about adults too). As someone big into clothes and make-up, my friends say my future daughter will end up on Toddlers & Tiaras, fake eyelashes and all! I, however, have different plans for her...plans to follow in the footsteps of my pint-sized obsession: Suri Cruise!
This child is the epitome of style and I'm in love! Photos all found at the Suri Cruise Fashion Blog, genius!
