EVANSTON, Ill. -- Authorities say an Indiana man died after he climbed down on a suburban Chicago elevated train track to urinate and was accidently electrocuted by the third rail.
The Cook County medical examiner ruled the death of 27-year-old Zachary McKee an accident due to electrocution. McKee was at a Chicago Transit Authority Purple Line station in Evanston when the accident happened late Sunday. McKee was pronounced dead at Saint Francis Hospital.
Evanston police say McKee was with two other people when he climbed down onto the track to urinate. That's when he fell onto the third rail. Police say one of the two people ran to alert a security guard, who called police and fire officials.

If you wish to go to the current Fangoria site, you may click the top logo, "Home" or "News" links. Or click here.
In the last few weeks, reader Bryan Kupko bombarded both Fango editor Chris Alexander and me with angry e-mails, calling us out for not putting the A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET remake on the cover of either FANGORIA #292 (April; my last as chief) or #293 (June; Chris' first). What a switch that was. Back in the 1980s, when Freddy's burned mug showed up on the cover of Fango and our spinoffs (GOREZONE, HORROR SPECTACULAR, FANGORIA POSTER MAGAZINE, HORROR VIDEO, etc.) at least two dozen times over a 10-year period, some readers berated us for the constant Krueger exposure. "Not another Freddy cover!" they'd cry. Wow, how times have changed.
Anyway, to answer Kupko's question, I wanted to give the new Freddy the cover of my final Fango, slotted for a month before the film debuted. It would be the perfect way to end my run as editor-in-chief, especially after my long association with the NIGHTMARE series. But the creeps at Platinum Dunes would not release anything of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy. Nada. Not a thing. Distributor Warner Bros. even claimed (lied?) that no close-up art showing Freddy even existed (!), though photos would eventually turn up in Entertainment Weekly and on the web, after we went to press.
I call that a pretty shameful way to treat a publication credited with helping build the Freddy franchise in the first place, and blame Platinum Dunes for the slight. They pulled the same "hide the monster" crap when we worked with them on their two TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE movies and the AMITYVILLE HORROR redux. On the latter, I spent an afternoon in LA going through the photo books at MGM to choose some cool cover images (like the demonic Indian), only to later have all my selects kiboshed by Michael Bay and co. The company's idea of us promoting their films is a one-way street; we can push their recycled productions to millions of horror fans on the web, cons and in the mag, as long as it's strictly on their terms. Want something in return, like an exclusive cover photo that would actually get people excited and buy Fango? Forget about it.
Why get so hot under the collar over this when, like you, I knew in advance that the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET revamp would suck? Well, for the record, the recent Fangos with the FRIDAY THE 13TH and HALLOWEEN remakes and last summer's HALLOWEEN II on the cover were a few of our best-selling issues ever, even though the majority of Fangorians hated those films. Go figure. For me, the new NIGHTMARE did not add anything to the Freddy mythos. The movie slavishly followed the original Wes Craven classic almost to a T, right down to the lame epilogue with the dream killer nailing Nancy's mom. With the amazing CGI toolbox at their fingertips, you would think that director Samuel Bayer and his team would really have opened up Freddy's sleep world and delivered something unique and special. But instead, we get the same old dank boiler room and similar, unimaginative settings. Haley makes for a creepy child molester (like he did in his Oscar-nominated turn in LITTLE CHILDREN), but sorely lacks the Wicked Witch of the West menace that made Robert Englund such a memorable presence. However, the almost universal negative response had minimal impact on the latest NIGHTMARE, as it had a huge opening (albeit an equally steep second-weekend drop) and has grossed over $56 million to date, more than any other NIGHTMARE film (excluding 2003's FREDDY VS. JASON).
This all brings me back to the gory days of being at the forefront of the initial outbreak of Freddymania. When I joined Fango in 1985, the first full issue I toiled on was #49, where A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE was represented by Krueger's countenance on the front. Back then, emerging independent studio New Line Cinema would bend over backwards to guarantee a cover story, even two in a row if they buttered us up enough. Under savvy fan-turned-publicist Gary Hertz, New Line gave us anything we wanted: interviews, exclusives up the wazoo, our own photo shoots, etc. Wanna talk to Robert Englund? Hold on a sec, we'll send him over to your office—in costume! (Yes, that actually happened, during the NIGHTMARE 2 press tour.)
In the '80s, the NIGHTMARE movies arrived annually like clockwork, and their box office kept growing. By the time of 1988's NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: THE DREAM MASTER, Freddy was everywhere: toys, posters, T-shirts, candy bars, rap songs, etc. The sleep demon became a pop-culture icon, and as a result, the films soon began getting sillier and sillier, with a cackling Freddy even riding a broomstick by the time of 1991's tepid FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE. Fango garnered its first initial newsstand sales spike with those early Krueger covers, which then-publisher Norman Jacobs milked to the hilt by flooding retailers with endless Fango Freddy fronts and numerous tie-ins. We even published several official movie magazines, licensed from New Line, that heralded NIGHTMARE 5, FREDDY'S DEAD (with 3-D photos!), WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE and eventually FREDDY VS. JASON.
We loved hyping the Freddy movies (but not that awful TV show), and not just because of all the cooperation we got from the appreciative New Line. The movies were good, scary fun, especially Craven's landmark first film, NIGHTMARE 3 (which set the sequels' template) and WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE (arguably the best of the bunch). Both FREDDY'S DEAD (despite the unbilled Johnny Depp cameo) and FREDDY VS. JASON (which spent 10 years in development), alas, emerged as missed opportunities.
In the pre-Internet era, New Line execs would read our Postal Zone section for Freddy feedback and tailor subsequent entries to reflect the tastes of the buffs. To give you an idea of how intertwined the magazine and the Freddy flicks were at that time, when creator Craven returned to the fold in 1994 with NEW NIGHTMARE, he insisted that the character of Heather Langenkamp's FX-artist husband in the film wear a FANGORIA T-shirt for his death scene!
Speaking of Freddy wardrobe, I once donned his sweater and crashed a wedding. Here's the backstory: to ballyhoo 1987's NIGHTMARE 3, Fango got to give away one of Freddy's actual ratty sweaters worn in the movie in a contest. Around the time the priceless prop (caked with fake blood, grime and sweat; see photo below) showed up in my office, I was invited to both a Halloween wedding (STARLOG staffer Eddie Berganza's big day) and costume party in the same day. So I surprised the bride and groom in full Freddy regalia—fedora, sweater, razor glove and latex mask—and chased the panicking newlyweds across the dance floor. Miraculously, Eddie (now an editor at DC Comics) and Cheryl have been together ever since, but the wardrobe was won by a reader who sent in his "Worst Freddy Nightmare" in our sweepstakes, the results of which Stephen King personally contested when we met at a party later that year!
Of course, the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET films would have been nothing without Englund. The role fit the former LA beach bum like a—pun intended—glove, and he truly made the character his own. How insulting that the actor was not asked to do a cameo in the new film, or something to acknowledge his contributions. (Then again, it was probably wiser to distance himself from the fiasco.)
One of the pleasures of my Fango reign was getting to know Englund and wife Nancy over the years, catching up with them at film festivals and conventions all over the world. Englund has always been a talkative, witty and cultured person who could charm both the average Joe and the intelligentsia alike. I also had the wonderful opportunity to work with him as a producer on several occasions, for the '90s TV special THE HORROR HALL OF FAME (which he hosted), Bravo's 100 SCARIEST MOVIE MOMENTS and FANGORIA TV's SCREAMOGRAPHY. You just ask Englund a question and let him roll! As a conversationalist, storyteller and interviewee, Englund delivered every time I ever had the honor to quiz him on camera. If you've ever attended one of his convention appearances, you know what I mean.
Will the latest incarnation of Freddy capture a new generation of fans? The box-office results may say otherwise, but hardcore Fangorians certainly can't be swayed, judging by many of the comments after Michael Gingold's Fango review. My pal, longtime Fango follower Santos Ellin Jr., summed up the new movie by saying, "It just ain't Freddy." Amen to that.

No worries, I asked for it! You actually had a lot of well-thought out reasons, and a lot of it comes down to personal preference, which I can't dispute. If I may play devil's advocate on a few of your points, though:
#1- Games have been $50+ for a long time. I remember NES games were $50, and most of them could be beat within a few hours or less.
#2- I personally don't think we'll be looking at JUST digital downloads for a long, long time. The last time I looked up the stats, something like 20% of the United States does not have access to broadband internet (even if they wanted to have it), mostly in rural areas. Furthermore, if they stop selling games in stores, stores will stop carrying their systems. Whichever system became the first to do so would have to have massive balls, because if (for instance) MS decided to go all digital and Wal-Mart said "eff you then, we're not selling your systems if you won't have us selling your games", it would be a massive advantage to Sony.
#3- That's another thing I don't see happening, at least not in the next generation of games.
As far as the extra stuff (achievements, entertainment apps, DLC) I would say that you don't have to participate if you don't want to. Of course, with achievements you have no choice...I guess you can turn off alerts so it doesn't interrupt your gaming, but you will still be earning them regardless. And yeah, it sucks when story-based DLC comes out which is overpriced, but I personally just don't buy stuff on Day 1. Even stuff like Dawnguard I will just wait on until it's on sale.
As far as game length, like I said, I remember the NES days of paying $50 for a 2-3 hour game (or at least, having your parents pay that much, ha ha). I'm always surprised when people say that games today don't have the value that they used to, since with every generation they have gotten longer and longer while prices have stayed right around $50-60.
Anyway though, a lot of your points are very good ones (I miss manuals, too!) and many of them are about personal preference- which is "to each their own" territory. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
1 - Agree 100% but considering the technology, the console's power, resources, etc., it just feels like you're paying more for less. Maybe, its because of all the DLC, Complete/GOTY/Gold editions, etc. It just feels like as a consumer im paying more but getting less. Its probably just me but I do agree with what you said.
2 - Agree in regards to say, Microsoft going all digital but not Sony or vice versa but I think that there's still a chance that it could happen with Xbox 3 and PS4 because when you actually make a list of positives and negatives, the positives far outweigh the negatives for Sony, Microsoft and developers/publishers. If not next gen, then 100% with Xbox 4 and PS5.
By going all digital, the cost is dramatically reduced for the companies in so many ways. No manufacturing (except consoles) of discs, cases, no printing of manuals, no distribution costs, etc. Then add in that in order to play the game, you simply buy it at full price or you dont. Companies would never ever have to reduce the prices of the games because there would be no reason for them to do so. It would eliminate them losing money from someone buying a used game instead of brand new.
With games being focused more on online gameplay day by day, the reality of companies going all digital is getting closer and closer. Look at Sony, they have that "day one digital" promotion or whatever its called. People will buy the available games via DD.
As for stores not carrying consoles, it wouldnt matter because with online, you can easily order via your PC and never leave your house. As for the 20% that dont have access to broadband internet/Fios/Optimum, etc., it wouldnt matter to the companies because the money saved from going all digital at worse for them, breaks even.
The number one focus on gaming nowadays is online. There's a reason for that. Companies, developers and publishers know what they're doing. They're basically preparing everyone for when the day does come that gaming goes all digital.
The worse thing that I hate about gamertags is with online passes and downloading roster updates, they can only be used on the gamertag that downloaded them. You can play DLC and the games using different gamertags because the content is licensed to the console, not the gamertag but in those other instances, its the opposite.
As for games nowadays not having the value, the cost of the actual game $50 to $60 between the NES days and now are the same and while the games nowadays have far superior visuals, etc., that doesnt make them better or more valuable than the old school games. Take any game from this generation, keep it sealed as a collector's item and there's still no way that it would be half of the value of an factory sealed SNES classic like Chrono Trigger.
In twenty years from now, this generation of games will at most be worth the same price now where as old classics will still be worth more. So while the technology and whatnot have advanced a lot, the games nowadays just dont hold that "I have to keep this game forever" sentimental feeling.
A lot of it is own personal opinion. I used to be a hardcore gamer back in the day. Now, im casual. The games themselves are still for the most part fun, entertaining and enjoyable but everything else around the games arent.
Anyway, like you said, "to each his/her own". I'm not speaking for anyone but me but I personally will be done with gaming once 360/PS3 is dead. My interest is nowhere near what it used to be and more stuff that I prefer gets taken away, the more my interest becomes less and less.
In the end, im in the minority who prefers the SNES/GEN era out of them all. But again, to each his/her own.

A sign at a US airport has fallen on a family, killing a 10-year-old boy and injuring other family members.
Deputy Coroner Derrick Perryman said Luke Bresette was pronounced dead at Children's of Alabama hospital.
Two other children were being treated there, and the mother, Heather Bresette, was taken to University Hospital, where spokeswoman Nicole Wyatt said she was in critical condition.
Firefighters estimated the arrival-departure sign at Birmingham airport weighed 135 to 180 kilograms.
Albert Osorio, 46, of Birmingham told al.com that he was close by when the sign fell.
He said a loud boom was followed by screams from the family and witnesses.
Then he and five other passers-by lifted off the sign.
'The whole thing flipped down on those kids. It took all of us here to stand it up,' he said.
Airport spokeswoman Toni Herrera-Bast said officials aren't sure how the sign fell.
She said it happened about 1.30pm on Friday in a pre-security area of the airport.
The airport continued operating while rescue workers tended to the family.
The airport completed the first phase of a more than $US201 million ($A193.55 million) modernisation effort and opened newly renovated concourses last week.
Mayor William Bell issued a statement saying the city offered its full support to the Airport Authority in investigating the accident.

Conferences: great places for networking
There are many networking events,
but I find that the best ones are
Web conferences
It is where you meet other geeks like you, book publishers, great contacts at some of the biggest companies, contributors to your favorite open source projects, potential start-up partners and the list goes on.
Who should care?
If you're a consultant, you will find service providers such as hosting or voip. You might also find clients or start-up partners. You will also meet people with complimentary skills who can help you out on contracts. You can even find book or magazine publishers if you have things to say.
As someone looking for a job, you will find your next employer. If you are already employed, you'll meet core developers on the projects or libraries that you use at work. They might answer your questions or take your feedback regarding their project.
As a business owner, you will find customers and service providers. You will also find employees or consultants if you're hiring. You will learn about interesting products that other companies are building that can be useful to you. You will also find companies or people who might purchase your own products or services.
As a head hunter or recruitment agency, you will find employees or consultants to refer to your clients. You will also find more companies in search of employees to add to your directory.
When will I find the time?
There are hours when no particular presentation interests you. Instead of going to a random one, skip it and go find people to talk to. They can hang out near the coffee and in hallways. they can sit with their laptops wherever there's wifi.
Use the breaks between sessions to talk to people instead of reading your e-mails. Every minute counts!
During lunch, don't go sitting by yourself or at a random table where nobody is in a mood to talk. You'll lose a whole hour of potential networking. Pick a table with people who asked interesting questions during the presentations.
There will probably be some scheduled networking events at the conference. Read the program carefully to find out when and where.
After the event, don't go home right away. Chances are that people will go out for a beer. Follow them (you don't have to get drunk). This is where you'll have a chance to find the people who are less visible in public, but are still very sociable.
Yes this will exhaust you.
But remember that this will expand your network.
You can even plan to stay an extra day (which I usually do) to get more face time with the people that you just met. Speakers, especially international ones, often stay extra days anyway because flights are cheaper when they stay a whole week.
How will I keep track?
You will meet so many people that you will forget their first names. Always take their business card if they have one. If they don't, make sure you have a small notepad ready. In any case, give them your card. Bring a lot of these, you don't want to run out.
When you receive a card, usually after a short conversation, scribble a note on their card to remember who they are or what you talked about. You would, for example, write "Zend_AMF" on Wade Arnold's card because he's the guy who wrote the component.
Make sure you ask people their names and remind yourself their names often. If you're no longer sure, ask them again. They'll understand.
When you get home, go though the cards and refresh your memory. Get in touch with the people through e-mail, Twitter or LinkedIn while the relationship is still fresh.
Do conference organizers care?
As a conference organizer, I do care. Having visited many international conferences, I know what it's like to be a visitor or a speaker. I know where, when and how networking happens at conferences. If I feel that something is missing, I tell the organizers and fix the problem at my own conference.
All comments to this post will be considered as suggestions for the upcoming ConFoo conference, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts.

We absolutely loved Guest House Douro.

De Vargas used the design of the lounge area to set the tone for the rest of the project spaces. A retro-modern look infused with turquoise and magenta accents sounds jarring, but under her direction it's pleasing to the eye. |

At the back of the long rectangular space is the kitchen. A turnaround time of three weeks would have scared away many other designers, but Charmean Neithart did not shy away from the challenge. The key was keeping the cabinets, hardware and appliances as simple as possible and having fun with the glass tile backsplash and wallpaper. Notice that the same gray-green and blue, beachy tones of the reception area are reflected in the tile backsplash and the rug. |

Nobody wants an STD. I guess that's why, when it comes to the topic of getting one, or especially the dirty screwed-up sociopaths who give them to people, emotions run high.
By June, I thought my vagina was in the clear. It was time, I decided, to start dating.

In my opinion, conversations about STDs are less than worthless.

I have been to the see my gyno, who I have in my phone as "Vag 911," five times in the past six months.
A bishop at a Catholic school in Canada has outlawed the Gardisil HPV vaccine for his students, under the archaic, broken logic that providing teens with the tools to protect themselves will only encourage them to bone.

Checking email on my phone while I wait for a flight to Los Angeles to visit my sister, I find one from Quentin. It's titled "Immaculate Infection."
Embrace your STDs, literally.
I'd suspected something awful a long time ago, when I got what I now know was my first outbreak. I know I shouldn't have, but I went about my sexual business in the usual way.

If you really want your teeth and gums to be healthy, you need to try some of the natural methods. In more extreme cases you will need to see a dentist, but there are lots of instances where natural remedies will give you relief with your dental problems. We'll be sharing some of the best ways to help you keep your mouth clean and healthy using natural and inexpensive methods, but remember that you have to focus on practicing good dental hygiene every day.
If you're looking for a safe and natural way to make your teeth whiter, start eating more strawberries. Products made to whiten the teeth often contain malic acid, and this enzyme is found naturally in strawberries. If you really want to get the full benefit of strawberries, mash up some of them and rub them on your teeth and leave them there for a few minutes. There's also a lot of benefit in eating strawberries, especially if you do a good job of chewing them and moving them around in your mouth first. Strawberries aren't the only food that helps clean your mouth -almost all high fiber fruits and vegetables are good for your teeth and gums. Junk foods, of course, do just the opposite, and promote dental problems, so this is another reason to eat more natural foods.
If you have dental problems, you may want to try the age-old remedy of using salt and water in a solution. This has been used for centuries to cure dental ailments. Gargling with water, mixed with sea salt, is a great way to keep your gums healthy and your teeth looking great. A discomfort that you feel may be reduced or removed by doing this simple procedure. A natural disinfectant, salt water has many uses. It is possible to prevent bacteria from living in your mouth and gums by using a salt solution in water on a regular basis. This is one practice you should add to your dental regimen, and it only takes a few minutes and costs almost nothing.
There may be a dentist in your area who favors holistic techniques, and this can help you stay well informed about natural ways to care for your teeth and gums. Because of the increased interest in subjects like natural healing and holistic medicine, many dentists now operate according to these principles. These dentists have the same credentials as any other kind of dentist, but the specialize in treating patients using safe and natural techniques. For example, they don't use amalgam based fillings, which contain mercury. Aside from any work you must have done right away, this dentist can make recommendations on how to take care of your teeth naturally. While there's plenty of information on this topic available, it's also good to have a professional on your side, who knows your particular needs. When your dental health is maintained at an optimal level; your overall health will reap the rewards. When you are attentive to oral hygiene, your teeth will be safer from things like cavities and tooth decay. Although your dentist is the authority on your oral hygiene; we have shown you ways that can help the final outcome with your dental visit.
May 9th
Have you ever had any problems with your teeth? If you have, you probably should look into ways to prevent these problems from occurring again using natural means. Our modern diet and lifestyle can make it hard to take good care of our teeth, as eating junk food and sweets contributes to tooth decay. It is easy to take a few easy steps to get your teeth and gums healthy again – that is the focus of this article.
You will find in this article many tips to help you with proper natural dental care. Our best advice is to use this information only after you have been to the dentist if you have an urgent need. Some people will have, for instance, an abscess tooth which needs to be taken care of right away. It is possible for some people, that have an infected tooth, to get sick because of the infection spreading throughout their system. Sometimes the infection will manifest not only physically on your jaw but also as a bitter taste in your mouth that will last for days. Antibiotics from your dentist will help get rid of the infection. He or she will also describe pain medication for the discomfort you are feeling. An abscessed tooth is best treated with a dentist, although you can go to a doctor or the emergency room if the pain is great and you do not have insurance to cover you. You've probably heard of the many health benefits of green tea, and this is something that's also very good for your teeth. The antioxidants in green tea not only help maintain a healthy metabolism, avert certain diseases and can aid in weight control, but can also deliver benefits for healthy gums. You have a few choices on how you would like to take advantage of green tea. If you do not like taking supplements, you can find green tea as an additive in mouthwash and toothpaste. However, it's probably best to simply drink a few cups per day, as this way your teeth and gums are directly exposed to the tea catechins, which are the healing properties in tea.
One specific holistic method that is not widely used is called oil pulling. This has been used proficiently in many practices like Ayurveda, a remedy used by the ancient Indians. This method actually will take out the dangerous toxins right out of your system. This practice is beneficial for a wide range of issues when it comes to your dental health. This particular practice has been used by those in India with sesame oil; which is just one type of oil that may be considered. This method will ask you to keep the mixture moving around in your mouth for about fifteen minutes. Simply swish and spit; the remaining bit of oil will help cleanse your mouth of any toxins. If you care about your health, you have to pay attention to your teeth and gums. You can keep your body healthier and avoid painful tooth and gum problems with the right preventative measures. Natural dental care can help treat some issues you already have and help you prevent new problems from occurring. If you apply these techniques consistently, and maintain your teeth using commonsense measures, you can keep your teeth healthy and white.

Flirting is a myth to me, like bikini bodies or the theory that flicky eyeliner is achievable, and not a wistful dream, shrouded in regret and cataracts. In short, I think I have more of a chance for the Olympics then ever understanding any sort of flirty behaviour. I don't think I'm especially remedial but if everyone wore a hat when flirting, it would make life a little easier.
I realise this demand might initially come across as slightly certain-historical-figures-insisted-on-this-and-segregation-based-on-arbitrary-characteristics-and-behaviour-is-tiresome. You might also point out that Hitler didn't actually make anyone wear a hat, but I think we can all summarily agree that he went a lot further and this whole flirting debacle doesn't need to go there. IT JUST NEEDS A HAT. Or a hand gesture.
Unlike dogs with their intuitive ear-satellites (I'm not a vet), I don't understand when somebody's flirting with me. I could sit there awkwardly chatting to somebody for twenty odd minutes on a night out, without realising he is APPARENTLY MAKING A MOVE. Braille would be clearer at this point of cluelessness.
I'm a fairly (overly) chatty person, and I assume most conversations with strangers on a night out are just a way of avoiding dubstep, whilst being able to smoke heavily and still drink gin. Therefore, any conversation will be enthusiastically taken up by me, and any chance of romance is ruined, as the advance turns into an enthusiastic Q&A hosted by me, peppered with my thoughts on politics and feminism.
Very quickly the advance is ruined as I relentlessly field questions about your chosen topic. It's essentially a drunker version of Mastermind. One particular highlight of mine is when a boy invited me out to the smoking area, and I talked about my interest in goat farming for twenty minutes. I'm not entirely sure when I last saw a goat that wasn't part of an internet meme, so I don't know where that particular desire stemmed from.
However, if a guy came up to me, sporting a SPECIAL FLIRTING HAT then I would immediately know. To be fair, on the extremely rare occasion that I have understood flirting, I am able to extrapolate suitable candidates (as I write this it is becoming inherently clear to me that I perhaps run my love life according to bad game shows) on the basis of a few interests: gin, feminism, doctor who, pizza, politics or books. An interest in one of those is suitable, and a crossover is EVEN BETTER (although I don't know what feminist pizza looks like - patriarchal pepperoni?).
However, a flirting hat would be a loud FLIRTING KLAXON and we could go from there. As it stands, I panic and accidentally talk about ghosts. Potentially with a crossover into goats. Donations for some sort of counselling are gladly received, gin is even better.

Writing a book seems like the easy part. I have seen many books that are on the Kindle shelf but are not selling, some in a series, as authors continue to write. The hard facts are that unless a book attracts a reader, it will not sell. I quit my job, but how do I start attracting attention and where do I start? Does anyone have any suggestions? Pearl Lover
Publishing is the easy part. Marketing, in my option is the hardest part of this whole crazy life style. My best bet would be to start spreading the word via word of mouth. Tell everyone you know about your book and ask them tell everyone they know about it and see what happens. Also consider starting a blog or any other type of social media (i.e. facebook, twitter) and post about your book there. Consider making up flyers and handing them out to people or making up business cards with your books information on it. When my first book came out last month, I thought about making up business cards, but decided to make bookmarks instead. You can make any of those in mircosoft word at no cost. Here's the link: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/
Hope that helps! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
I agree with you. I have started some of the ideas that you suggest but will add the bookmark, another great idea for spreading the word. How is your book selling? Thak you very much for the extra ideas.
It was no problem. In this industry, we all have to stick together and I'm glad I can help in any way that I can. My book is doing okay. I understand that I'm not going to be an overnight sucess well, overnight and that's fine by me. I don't write to make money, I write because I want to share my words, my ideas with the world and I don't care how long it takes.
I saw the numbers that Hocking did, something like a 250,000 books in one month, after she got going. Then, she took the big advance from the publisher, and the sales have dropped to around 3,000 a month. Not because she took the advance but because they increased the kindle prices to triple the original price that she had been charging.
She will be working for that publisher for a long time. But the worst part is that she lost her advantage because she took the money without evaluating the consequences. I agree, "I write because I want to share my words". Money is not a standard; it is just the consequence of successful action.
Thanks for your reply. I had my doubts about certain types of giveaways, and you have confirmed them. #80 is great because if you can get it there via with a giveaway, that is encouraging. I have listed for $2.99 because it is good for business. The key is to keep the sales coming in, a difficult job. Yes, there are many 'brilliant works'. I think that the reason is more than because the market is 'supersaturated'. But I do not know the answer yet. I have been working 14 hours a day with social media. Kea
As a blogger who reviews books, I understand the challenge of marketing. I fully agree with the previous comments that you should start a blog, this is a great way to connect with other bloggers (many of whom write reviews for books) and to spread hte word about your book. Should you start a blog my suggestion for increasing traffic is to write meaningful comments on other blogs, and in forums such as this. Also, I would recommend you consider joining a blog tour. There are many independant blog tour companies (that can be found on this site) that will organize a blog tour for your book for a reasonable price. Also, if you would like to take the DIY route in marketing your blog, you can contact book review blogs individually most of them have their review policies page for author's to request a review you can see mine here.
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much. I have checked your review policy and will send a request. It seems as if the blog page must be linked to others for success. I think that is what you have expressed as the essential feature. And the blog tours sound like a magnificent idea because I can stay at home while I tour. This is really a paradigm shift. I wonder what will change in the future. Thank you very much for your suggestions. I will expand my blog page. Kea
You are most welcome, I am happy to have been some help! I can't wait to hear about your book :)
I just sent it to you. Thank you for the interest. Kea
I know that givaways are really good to boost sales of your book. On my blog I got few articles about marketing your self published ebook http://joannamazurkiewiczco.ipage.com
The best tip that I have read so far on your blog is about engaging with others.
Interesting comment about giveaways 'really good to boost sales'.I will go back to your blog for more. Thank you very much for the input and link. Kea
I agree with others about starting a blog. I think a blog that corresponds with your genre will help you build a platform and attract an audience. On that note, writing guest articles for other blogs might also be a great way to get the word out about you and your book since typically guest articles are published with a short bio and link in the byline.

if you can hang things on the wall why not hang some fabric. If you wanted to go light you could buy some large sheets from a discount store and hang them from the ceiling/top of the wall. You could use starch to attach the fabric, but I have never done it myself and have no idea if it would leave residue on the wall. You could use Ikea drapery hardware to attach it at the ceiling - i am sure you could get really creative (maybe something with 3M hooks if you can't drill into the walls). Mirrors seem like the best way to create lightness in the room, but the only way to change the color (that I can think of) is fabric on the wall! Good Luck!

Not sure where the $700 figure came from, couldn't find that anywhere... but yes! $700 is quite reasonable. Maybe not for a nursery alone, but most people have to get carseats for their kids. Crib/cosleeper, bedding, clothes, bottles, cloth diapers -- if your able to splurge a couple of hundred on them it will save thousands over the next 2-3 years -- not to mention bouncers, bumbo, swing... Yes - some of these are optional items, but unless you are lucky enough to be gifted or receive 2nd hand items, babies do cost money!

First reaction:
10.bxc3? loses control of e5 and misses your ...c4 idea. 11.Be2?! is worse still because it loses sight of e4. At this point you control the center basically for free, and White cannot even reorganize with Ne2 because of his misguided piece placement. For the next few moves you seem to "get it" and White is too stubborn to backtrack his pieces and reorganize (e.g. 13.a4?). You miss a somewhat obscure tactic for (at least) the Exchange via 15...Nbxd2! It doesn't matter much because your position is overwhelming. The ..Bd7-..Bxa4 idea is fine IMO, but I guess you learned to be careful after 20.Nxc4. If your opponent didn't give the game away next, you probably would've reached a slightly worse opp. bishops ending (your Ne4 should force Bxe4 at some point). That would have been a shame considering how well you handled the first dozen moves. I might add that when you have a massive space advantage like that, definitely be on the look out for tactics that exploit your opponent's lack of space. Many times he won't be able to cover all of his weaknesses if you put pressure on the right spots. Nice game. |

Ole Miss continued its strong in-state recruiting efforts on Monday when the Rebels landed a commitment from McComb, Miss., shooting guard LaDarius White. White, a 6-foot-5, 200-pounder nicknamed "Snoop," chose the Rebels over Mississippi State after attending Ole Miss' second-round NIT win over Memphis Friday night in Oxford."I loved it," White said. "I loved the environment. I loved how they play. That's my kind of ball." White is the Rebels' second commitment for the 2011 class, joining Hickory, N.C., forward Tyler Poole. He is the third prominent Mississippian to commit to the Rebels in the past year, joining 2010 signees Dundrecous Nelson and Demarco Cox. "(The Ole Miss staff) is very supportive," White said. "They'd be at my games. I'd look up and see Ole Miss. I just like them. I got to know them more and more." Hilton Harrell, White's Jackson Tigers (AAU) coach, said White was leaning to Ole Miss going into his trip to Oxford last week. Once there, "he fell in love with it," Harrell said. "He loved the campus and he loved the environment. I think Coach (Andy) Kennedy has done a great job with the offense he runs. Lots of guards like it. They've been doing a good job with guard play and now they're getting the big guys like Demarco." White, who averaged 24 points, eight rebounds and four assists at McComb last season, is known for his versatility as well as his athleticism and his shooting range. He could grow into a small forward at the college level, and he has the ball skills to play point guard. "I think I can play all three (positions)," White said. "I can be a 1 or a 2 or a 3. It really doesn't matter." "I think he may grow into a (small forward)," Harrell said. "But he's a (shooting guard). He can also play the point. He can do it all. As good as he is, he has some upside to him. He can shoot from the outside, post up, dribble-drive. He's a good passer and a good team player. His work this spring, this summer and next year will determine how much he'll step in and help them." White might help Ole Miss long before he arrives in Oxford. His AAU teammate and close friend, five-star forward Johnny O'Bryant from Cleveland, Miss., is strongly considering Ole Miss along with Mississippi State, Memphis, California and others. "I'm planning on working him," White said, laughing. "It probably will work. I think it will." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now for a FREE Trial

Integrated Marketing in the Digital World
During the summer of 2009 I joined forces with a skilled advertising executive, Duane "DJ" Sprague, in a venture called Vortex Integrated Marketing. Although we both still have our own business ventures, when Duane and I have the opportunity of working together, we do so under the Vortex brand.
This e-book, Integrated Marketing in the Digital World, is the result of our desire to share some thoughts related to the importance of integration in all marketing disciplines and utilization of new media tools.
You can also find this information on the Vortex Integrated Marketing site, but I'm including here it on PeteCodella.com for my readers.
Announcing an e-book by Duane "DJ" Sprague and Pete Codella, APR
Integrated Marketing in the Digital World outlines how companies can build a power brand in today's digital world with integrated marketing.
Authors Sprague and Codella bring decades of advertising, marketing and public relations experience to bear on the subject of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC).
With a particular emphasis on social media and new digital tools available to communicators, Integrated Marketing in the Digital World outlines concepts and real-world examples of thinking and working in an IMC environment.

The white paper The Importance of Teaching outlined the intention to simplify the School Admissions and School Admission Appeals Codes ('the Codes') so that it is easier for schools and parents to understand and act upon, while maintaining fairness as the guiding principle.
The Education Secretary, the Rt. Hon. Michael Gove MP, published the Departmental response to the consultation on changes to the Admissions Framework on 2 November 2011, alongside revised drafts of the Codes. This followed a 12-week consultation on proposals to overhaul a system which is too often complex, confusing and unfair for parents. The consultation elicited 1,337 responses, 700 from parents who broadly welcomed the changes being made to the Codes.
On 1 December the Department laid the revised Codes before Parliament, as required under section 85 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. Subject to the views of Parliament, these Codes will come into force on 1 February 2012, affecting the 2013/14 admissions intake.
Copies of these Codes can be found below, so that schools and local authorities can take account of the technical changes that have been made since their publication on 2 November.
Key proposals include:
- giving adopted children who were previously in care the same, highest priority for places as looked-after children;
- introducing a 'national offer day' for primary places, mirroring that for secondary offers;
- giving greater freedom to schools to increase the number of places they are able to offer to parents;
- allowing schools to prioritise the children of staff employed there for two or more years, or who will meet a skills shortage;
- allowing infant classes to exceed the statutory limit where the 31st child is a twin or from multiple births, or of armed forces personnel;
- allowing academies to prioritise disadvantaged children who are eligible for the Pupil Premium; and
- allowing schools to take direct applications from parents to help reduce delays in finding a school place once term starts.
All documents are available to download from the associated resources section of this page.
The Departmental response to the consultation on the changes to both the Admissions and Appeals regulations was published on 10 January 2012. The consultation was held between 10 November and 5 December 2011 and received 256 responses, which broadly agreed with the proposed changes that underpin the revised Admission and Appeals Codes. Copies of these regulations and the response are available to download from the associated resources section of this page. Subject to the Parliamentary process, the revised regulations will come into force on 1 February 2012.
This will primarily affect admissions arrangements being locally determined in respect of the pupil intake for the 2013/14 academic year and thereafter. However, for appeals lodged on or after 1 February 2012 these will be dealt with under the Appeals Regulations 2012 and the revised School Admission Appeals Code.

Bugzilla – Bug 558
Portato fails on startup - only on Sabayon
Last modified: 2009-02-09 15:54:55 UTC
I get about 10 mails per day stating, that portato fails (mostly on first startup). The error log is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/portato/gui/windows/main.py", line 1247, in cb_pkg_list_selection self.fill_version_list(self.selCP) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/portato/gui/windows/main.py", line 929, in fill_version_list packages = system.sort_package_list(system.find_packages(cp, masked=True)) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/portato/backend/portage/system.py", line 213, in find_packages return self.geneticize_list(self._get_set(pkgSet).find(key, masked, with_version, only_cpv), only_cpv or not with_version) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/portato/backend/portage/system.py", line 169, in geneticize_list return [self.new_package(x) for x in list_of_packages] File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/portato/backend/portage/system_22.py", line 64, in new_package return PortagePackage_22(cpv) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/portato/backend/portage/package.py", line 54, in __init__ self._init_settings(True) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/portato/backend/portage/package.py", line 79, in _init_settings self._settings.settings.setcpv(self.get_cpv(), mydb = dbapi) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/__init__.py", line 1968, in setcpv for k, v in izip(aux_keys, mydb.aux_get(self.mycpv, aux_keys)): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/dbapi/porttree.py", line 406, in aux_get raise KeyError(mycpv) KeyError: 'app-portage/portato-0.7.5' Portato version: 0.11.1 Python version: 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Nov 20 2008, 20:10:49) [GCC 4.3.2] Used backend: Portage 2.2_rc14 pygtk: 2.13.0 (using GTK+: 2.14.5) pygobject: 2.15.4 (using GLib: 2.18.3) Asking several of the bug filers, it seems to _only_ happen on Sabayon (esp. Live-DVD (4?)). As portato-0.7.5 is ... well ... outdated, I suppose, there might be something wrong with the portage cache. I'll look into this later on. Just as a "tracker" bug for the moment.
Beside the component stating "Live DVD/CD", it also happens on (freshly) installed systems.
The problem on the Live DVD is, that there is no portage-tree included. Thus it is quite obvious why portato (and some other related tools) fail. Solutions: Either include a portage snapshot - or no portage tools at all in the Live DVD.
This should really get fixed. I spoke to several people, which thought "oh my god - a buggy release. lets look for another distribution"
Seems to be the same error on install: There is no portage tree existing. Running "emerge --sync" to get one fixed the errors.
(In reply to comment #4) > Seems to be the same error on install: There is no portage tree existing. > Running "emerge --sync" to get one fixed the errors. > You cannot built in an extra check (maybe run once) to check and see if an emerge --sync is needed? We expect our users todo this after they install Sabayonlinux. Reason to have it like this is to save some extra space on the ISO.
I now added this check ;)

This is my initial Gamma World campaign. I am making some changes here and there, but this is complete.
You might find something useful you can loot. It is set in New Mexico and the environs. The party is part of a traveling mutant circus ala Carnivale. It was designed as a sandbox campaign. There are links between adventures, but the party may follow whatever they wish. I have everything mapped, but it is all in Map Tool files. These do not "blow up" to a very good print quality though I did print some anyway. If someone wants the Map Tool files, and if I can host them on somewhere, let me know. Otherwise, I made Ye Olde Map Maker maps for each adventure, but there isn't a very good way to access those. If there is interest, I'll try to work something out. I am not tech savvy. I broke it down by type. This is the campaign "Gamma Report" I gave the players before the campaign started. Gamma Report These are the two introduction movies I showed them for two sessions. Movie 1 Movie 2 This is the campaign map of NuMex. It covers parts of Arizona, Utah and Mexico as well. Campaign Map These are the locations in detail, or, the "adventures" if you will. Badder Ambush Albuqerque Starport Epsilon Station (These are adaptations from the original mini-module. Some of content is from that module, some is mine. I didn't use the shuttle as a combat encounter area, for example.) Little Diablo (An Old West Theme Park ruled by a cyborg) Mines of El Diablo (outside of Little Diablo, the mines are being run by a Vegaz lounge-singiing robot) Temple of Ishtar Sewers of Ishtar None of this was designed for public consumption as such, so, if you have any questions ask me and I'll try and tell you what I really meant.
some of the Docs are saying i dont have permission to view them... but the space ports look coool.
Hmm. Let me fix those.
OK, try now. Hopefully they will work.
I am getting this message when trying to open the first item "Gamma report".
Sorry, we are unable to retrieve the document for viewing or you don't have permission to view the document.
all the others open just fine. Cool stuffby the way. many thanks.
Gamma Report link seems to be working now. Glad you like them.
This stuff looks awesome! I especially like the videos and the Gamma Report idea- really helps to give the players a feel for the environment
Uh...what can I say but......awesome?!
I totally had an idea of aping the West World movie but yah beat me to it. Though if memory serves me correctly there were other themed worlds which could be a fun way to bring in D&D fantasy characters into the game. Really good background and planning. Thanks for sharing!
There was Future World too. I think that one had robot presidents or some such.
I still have to figure out how to adapt Zardoz to Gamma World. :o
AAAAH that red tight outfit is burning my eyes!! Though having Zardoz actually featured in GW would be epic. I hope you make that a reality.
Wow! I love what I've read so far. I can tell that you've put a ton of effort into this adventure and it shows!
I have a quick question - I haven't GM'd in about 25 years and I am going to be running Gamma World for my 13 year old son and a couple of his friends. How do you think that this adventure will be for a bunch of newbs to GW? Once again, thanks for posting this awesome looking adventure...
Thanks. I think you're fine with new players. Just remember Gamma World was always a deadly game. I ran some of this adventure recently and it went well. I don't remember if I linked to the little intro movie I amde. Let me look. If you scroll down here on the YouTube page, you'll see tow Gamma World videos.

It could run from userspace with the right interface class. Or from the kernel if someone wrote a simplified Java interpreter or maybe a module compiler.
I suppose instead of Java it could be written in whatever VM it is that ACPI uses. Kernels already have interpreters for that.
It could be fairly nifty.

Actor William Shatner was recently left as red faced as, well, Captain James T. Kirk after a party with too much Romulan Ale. The Toronto Sun reports that Shatner was boarding a flight from LAX to South Africa when he was singled out for a security search and found himself with his trousers down around his ankles, revealing his underwear. Shatner was wearing loose clothing with no belt because he wanted to be comfortable on the long flight and his pants simply fell to the floor.
Shatner said "It was awful to have people looking at me with my pants down, probably the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me… it was a long flight so I wanted to wear loose clothing because I didn't want anything to bind me."
Whether traveling as an ordinary citizen, or as Captain of a starship, sometimes it is better to just go – rather than to "boldly go…"

The port is overseeing $3 billion in updates to its berths and cranes and other facilities, many of which are being completed in anticipation of the 2014 debut of the expanded Panama Canal.
Local officials agree that the canal's expansion will be a financial boon to Texas -- and in particular, the Port of Houston, which should see more and larger container ships docking in its berths. But officials disagree on the size of the economic benefits and the ability of the state's already congested railways and roads to handle the predicted significant uptick in traffic.
Kunz expressed confidence that the port, which had a record 8,073 ships call in 2011, will be ready for the increased traffic resulting from the canal's expansion. But he is wary about predictions of explosive, unprecedented traffic at the port and then northward, as trucks and trains travel through Texas, hauling cargo to the Midwest.
"I think that we will see an increase, but we are very, very conservative in what we forecast, about a 15 percent increase of the traffic we get on the trade lane from Asia to Houston," Kunz said, discussing the movement of container ships.
"What we do know is that this third set of locks that's being built is going to create a redistribution of cargo," he said. "It's not going to make the cargo grow. It's just going to be a redistribution.
"The West Coast is going to lose some. We're going to get a little bit. The East Coast ports are going to get a little. Everyone is going to share a little bit more in the wealth."
The seven-year expansion project will be the canal's first major widening in 100 years. In addition to being widened, the canal will double its capacity with two new sets of locks.
Jeff Moseley, president and chief executive of the Greater Houston Partnership, says the canal project is "a huge game-changer and the project of the century." "It will take us decades to fully realize the potential of this new capacity," he added.
Moseley is quick to emphasize the existing advantages of Houston as a port city, namely its railroad system. He said the rail lines would provide relief for highways clogged with cargo-laden trucks making the same passage as the trains, though less efficiently.
"There will be no more railroads built in America if you can imagine how prohibitive the cost would be, but Houston is blessed with this very strategic network rail -- a fabulous grid that literally connects Houston between the Rocky Mountains and the Ohio Valley," he said.
Harris County Judge Ed Emmett had promoted the Port of Houston's potential to be the "gateway of North America" for years. He agrees that the Panama Canal is a "big plus" but does not think it will be "the panacea that a lot of people think." He suggested that the current rail system might need work.
"The rail system needs to be redesigned, because even though the two major railroads serving here do a good job, the rail system was designed well over 100 years ago, and a lot of those rail tracks still go through downtown, which doesn't make any sense," he said.
With so many variables in the shipping industry and the competing ports lining the United States' edges, it is impossible to forecast what shippers will do.
Kunz hesitates to make predictions. "I've talked a lot about the expansion of the Panama Canal in the last couple of years," he said, "but the one thing I've learned is that nobody really knows what's going to happen."
The Greater Houston Partnership is a corporate sponsor of The Texas Tribune.

ID Card Delay - Updated Weds Oct 24/2012
ID cards are now ready for pickup at the soccer office.
Thanks to all team admin for getting them done.
Also, a big thank you to League Registrar Zeb, Team Pages, and the ladies at the soccer office who put in a lot of extra time to ensure the cards were completed as quickly as possible.
_As the cards are a bit later than anticipated, we will go with a soft start for this weekend, giving all teams plenty of time to pickup and plenty of time for us to deliver to out of town teams.
Please use the next 9 days to ensure all cards are correct; ID #'s match the photo, and the photo matches the name on your card.
If adjustments need to be made, they can be done now instead of panicking next Friday. _
Please do not wait until next Friday to pick up your ID cards.
Referee's will be made aware that ID cards will be in full effect starting Friday Nov 2/2012. No ID card = no play.
Should you have any questions, please read the ID card process that is explained in documents, under the Resources tab.
If you have any further questions, feel free to email me at
Thanks again._
Please note that ID cards will not be ready for this weekend.
They will be produced over the next week, ready for pickup on Friday October 19, and mandatory for games starting the weekend of Friday October 26.
If your team still has ID photos to submit (or resubmit) please do so ASAP, so they can be printed off in the current batch file. After this weekend it will be $10 to obtain an ID card for any player registered on or before October 14. For players registered after October 14, there will be no charge for an ID card.
