American fashion expert Carson Kressley took on the challenging task to transform this shabbily dressed couple. And the result … a dapper-looking character straight out of Hollywood, along with his wife, who took on a new chic look. Remarkably, they looked just like a celebrity couple after the makeover.
Becky and her husband, Darren, have been married for more than 20 years. She was told multiple times that Darren resembled the famous actor Tom Selleck.
However, Darren, whose wardrobe consisted of tons of T-shirts, a vast collection of baseball cap, jeans with stains and holes, dressed nothing like a typical Hollywood star.
"I'm positive that Tom Selleck doesn't dress like this," Becky revealed to The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Owing to Darren's moustache, overalls, and liking for baseball caps, Becky started thinking "he is resembling Mario from Mario Brothers."
Darren had no problems going to work with his stained, holey jeans either, because he worked in the construction industry.
In fact, Becky wasn't pleased with her own dress style either. As a nurse, her daily uniform was none other than scrubs and slippers.
She had a habit of slipping into her furry slippers at home and everywhere she went—from running errands to doing the grocery shopping.
"I wear them everywhere," she said.
Becky wanted Darren to look less like the funny-looking Super Mario character from the Nintendo video game, and wrote to Oprah Winfrey, asking for help.
Oprah enlisted the expertise of style guru Carson Kressley for this challenging task—to transform both Becky and Darren.
Could Carson and his team solve this couple's fashion woes?
Yes, they did!
When Darren and Becky walked onto the stage after their very own makeovers, they were astonished by each other's new look.
Like waving a magic wand, Carson successfully turned Super Mario into a handsome gentleman.
Clad was looking dashing in a brown cashmere sport coat and black turtleneck. With his new aristocratic mien, he could easily pose as a Hollywood heartthrob.
"You don't have to put on a shirt and a tie and go through all that trouble," Carson said. "You can pop on this black turtleneck."
And Becky looked every inch the chic French woman. Donning a blue leopard dress, a belt to accentuate her slim waist, and a black leather jacket, she was looking gorgeous.
Carson chose black opaque hose and black boots for Becky to make her appear 4 inches taller.
"She's petite," Carson said. "It gives her a little extra length."
Check out the couple's stunning transformations in the clip below:

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
Listen, we're all busy. We're building our lives with our careers and our travels and our talents and our children, our loving and dreaming and breathing and creating. The last thing we need is our makeup holding us back in any way.
That's why I've tested out some new alleged "all day" makeup products to see if they're up to snuff. Because honestly, who actually has the time to worry about concealer touch-ups or bleeding lip color when there's a world we women have to take over?
Finding a foundation that lasts all day without becoming horrifying-looking feels like an endless, uphill battle. Even worse are formulas that you love at first and then, after a few weeks of use, they just . . . stop working? Start caking? Start becoming effective only in showing where all of your pores are by pooling inside of them?
Yeah, I'm familiar with that.
Luckily, NARS has come to the rescue (as always). It just released a new all-day foundation that is lightweight with good coverage that actually lasts, so you don't have to run to the bathroom in regular intervals throughout the day to make sure your makeup is behaving.
I'm a girl who loves to hate and hates to love foundation. I need it more often than not, due to an unruly complexion that tends to get worse throughout the day with internal and external stressors. I usually find that all liquid foundations are the same (read: bad), but I remain optimistic when wonderful companies like NARS release new products boasting weightlessness and staying power. So I gave this new formula a try.
I immediately loved this foundation just for its consistency and texture. It's very liquid-y and milky, and it lacks the usual thick creaminess of other foundations. I see this as a good sign, because there's less of a chance that it will become cakey and dry out on my skin, but I also worry that it will lack the coverage that I need.
I applied all over with a flat foundation brush and the results were fantastic.
I love this foundation for giving me great coverage without feeling heavy on my skin, and for making my skin glow. It lasted all day without any apparent signs of giving up on me.
Oh! Another must-have for all-day wear for anything going on your face? Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray.
Basically, it's hairspray for your face: It sets your makeup and keeps it in place all day and night. You essentially just mist it onto your face once your makeup is done. (I wish you could see me applying this stuff. Spritzing liquid at my face apparently makes me nervous and jumpy.)
This product is definitely worth the price, in that a little bit goes a long way, and the bottle is huge.
I've been on the hunt for a mascara that lasts all day without flaking that also doesn't irritate my eyes. I mean, are full, black lashes by day worth burning, bloodshot eyes by evening? (And don't even get me started on how it feels when poisonous mascara-liquid drips into my eyes when I wash my face.)
Enter: Blinc Mascara. I don't know how I hadn't heard of it before. This mascara formula is different than traditional mascaras in that it creates "tubes" that adhere around your lashes rather than product that paints on your lashes.
Now I know that sounds like a crock of BS (I mean, "tubing technology" — are you for real?), but I was definitely intrigued. The formula is said to be water-resistant, easy-to-remove with the combination of warm water and "gentle pressure" (no makeup remover required), and gentle to sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. I gave it a try.
Blinc applies like a normal mascara, but the structure of the brush and the way it feels going on doesn't feel quite traditional. Rather than painting on layers of goop to create the illusion of thickness, I felt like I was applying the formula to each individual strand.
The mascara should be applied quickly and in as many layers as you desire before it dries, but once the formula has set and the "tubes" have formed, leave it alone. I recommend grabbing a lash brush to use with this mascara to create the best definition.
I loved the look and feel of this mascara. It was definitely gentle on my eyes, and showed no signs of faltering or flaking throughout the day.
But what about that tubing technology? I went to wash off the product using the instructions of warm water and gentle pressure. Lo and behold...
Amazingness. Tubing technology is a real thing that I am a fan of.
This mascara also comes in a variety of colors (purple, green, blue) if you're into that sort of thing.
I love lip color, and I love incorporating it into my everyday life rather than just reserving it for nights out. But one thing I don't like about lip color in the office is having to touch it up and not always knowing if my lipstick is half-faded when having a discussion with a coworker. (Because nothing is more embarrassing than accidental ombré lips.)
I am a fan of a couple all-day lipstick formulas, but even those that I love have their faults, which include drying my lips out and feathering after several hours. Always intrigued by Too Faced's Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick, I felt compelled to try it when the brand recently released eight new fantastic shades, ranging from sexy grape purple (Villain) to a neutral pinky rose (Sugar).
The company says this lipstick will give you the staying power of a stain, the intense color of a liquid lipstick, and the shine of a gloss. Okay, game on.
I grabbed myself two of the new shades in opposite hues, Frosting and Velvet:
I love the application of this lipstick: The liquid lipstick squeezes onto the soft applicator brush tip, which is built into the tube. You smudge and smush the lipstick around with the applicator until you reach the consistency and shape you desire. The lipstick never fully dries, so you don't get that usual all-day lipstick dryness, but it also doesn't have the goopy moisture of a gloss: It is the perfect balance.
Oh, and it smells like candy. (A plus.)
Here's me in Frosting . . .
And in Velvet . . .
Do you have go-to all-day makeup products when you don't have time for touch-ups?

Carrie Underwood has given her ice hockey star husband Mike Fisher a pass to play the gritty sport for at least another two years - because she knows the tough guy can take care of himself during games.
The singer's husband has signed to play for the Nashville Predators in Tennessee for another two years, and Underwood insists she'll be cheering him on among fans, even though he's known for his ice fights.
She says, "I don't enjoy it, but I know he can take care of himself, and I know he doesn't mind fighting.
"I've learned he's a tough guy. Mike's the kind of guy that does not complain. He could have, like, a broken ankle, and you'd never know it."

If you are in the process of researching the best carpet cleaning, then you might have a lot of work to do. There is quite a bit of a competition in this sphere of the cleaning services, and the difference between the prices asked and the services offered can differ immensely.
I would like to give you an insight given by some professionals in this business which can help you make your pick, and can even help you actually clean your rugs and carpets by yourself.
First and foremost, the best way to keep your carpeting in good and clean shape for the longest possible time is to practice regular cleaning. Well, this may be a no-brainer, but still it is worth mentioning that the dirt, bacteria and harmful allergens your carpets accumulate can become quite unhealthy and can cause serious breathing difficulties, itching, and a number of allergic reactions. This is why regular hoovering is an absolute must. Also, taking care of removing spills on your carpet should be done as soon as possible after the accident, in order to prevent further damage and permanent staining.
By taking good care of your carpets you will prolong their life, and will save a lot of money in the long run. After all, imagine needing to replace the rugs and carpets at home and what the cost would be…
Be aware though that professional cleaners claim that even if you vacuum every day, the residue and dirt accumulated in the carpets over time can reach to the amount weighing as much as the original carpet weighs itself. This is why, according to the carpet cleaning experts, you need to plan and hire a professional carpet deep cleaning at least once in 18 months and more often if you have pets or a lot of traffic at your premises. So, this is a good reason why you should contact your preferred carpet cleaner and discuss the best cleaning schedule for your home with them.

The city of Henderson and the U.S. Department of Justice reached a settlement Monday after receiving complaints about the Police Department's dealings with the deaf.
According to officials, the complaints, filed under the Americans with Disabilities Act, alleged that the Henderson Police Department was not providing sufficient access to sign language interpreters or other aids when dealing with the deaf or hard of hearing.
"People who are deaf or hard of hearing must be able to communicate clearly with law enforcement, whether they are crime victims, witnesses, arrestees, detainees or just members of the public," said Jocelyn Samuels, acting assistant attorney general for the civil rights division.
When asked if they would be willing to resolve the complaints voluntarily, the city of Henderson readily agreed.
Among the new models for dealing with the deaf and hard of hearing, officers will now use a pictogram to ask a person if they would like an interpreter. If requested, one will be provided within one hour "under most circumstances," officials said.
The city agreed to pay $35,000 to the complainants.
"What's more important, prospectively things will improve and the problems that existed in the past will be rectified," said Allen Lichtenstein, general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union.
In addition to the settlement payments, the city agreed to provide better interpreter availability, training for officers, staff members, and volunteers on the ADA and plan to adopt other policies consistent with the ADA, officials said.
"This agreement provides an effective model for Nevada's — and the nation's — law enforcement communities to work with deaf and hard of hearing citizens. The people of Henderson should be proud of their city's leadership," said U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada Daniel G. Bogden. "The commitments made by Henderson are simple and cost-effective; the city will be better able to protect public safety while complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act."

Facebook Reaches 20-Year Privacy Settlement With U.S. Government
"A small number of high-profile mistakes... have often overshadowed much of the good work we've done," CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a blog post.
NEW YORK - Facebook has reached a 20-year privacy settlement with the U.S. government, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Under the agreement, the social network would be required to ask users for permission before changing the way their personal information is released. Facebook will have to go through independent privacy audits every two years for the next two decades.
The settlement was seen as a way for Facebook to appease Washington and Wall Street ahead of a planned IPO expected for next year.
STORY: Facebook Eyes $100 Billion Value in IPO by Mid-2012
The Federal Trade Commission raised privacy concerns after changes to the social network's privacy settings in Dec. 2009. The changes made some aspects of users' profiles, such as name, picture, gender and friends list - public by default.
The FTC argued that this threatened the "health and safety" of users, in part, by exposing "potentially sensitive affiliations" such as political views and sexual orientation.
"I think that a small number of high-profile mistakes... have often overshadowed much of the good work we've done," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a blog post, according to the Journal.

Making A Coach Proud
Aug. 5, 2009
By Amy Farnum
Coaches always burst with pride when they see former student-athletes give back to their sport and community, and most, like Kevin Morris, are eager to help them do so.
Mobolaji Akiode, who played for Morris at Fordham University, is making her collegiate coach proud by creating "Hope 4 Girls" – a non-profit organization that uses sports to help young women in Nigeria realize their highest potential in all aspects of life.
Akiode spent her childhood in Nigeria before moving to the United States and attending Columbia High School in New Jersey, and then earning a Division I scholarship at Fordham. She graduated with an accounting degree in 2004, and then became a member of the Nigerian National Team (2004-2007), which included a trip to the 2004 Olympics and the program's first-ever victory at the Games.
During her time with native country's team, Akiode began thinking about how sports had created so many opportunities for her, and wanted other young African women to have the same experience and started organizing a non-profit basketball camp.
"She wanted to give back to Nigeria, and came up with the idea a couple years ago that she was going to start a non-profit basketball camp," said Morris. "She mentioned it to me and asked me to coach if she ever got it going. I said, 'of course.'"
Morris applauds Akiode for her work on the camp, and the now head coach at Rutgers-Newark is excited to be participating as one of the clinic's coaches.
"She really worked on it over the last couple years in getting coaches and donors, and getting a site," said Akiode. "She lives in the United States, so the logistics are tough. She wanted to bring in 60 girls from all over Nigeria to one site. I think there will be players from most if not all of the states in Nigeria. She contacted me in May and said the camp is on – she did all of the work."
Akiode coordinated all of the travel and visa applications, and Morris also received advice from a pair of Nigerian sisters that he has had on the team the last two years, such as using plenty of mosquito repellent.
The camp is being held in the Ogun State of Nigeria, and runs from Aug. 3-7, and then the coaches from the U.S. will enjoy a few days of sightseeing. The trip is Morris' first to Africa.
"I've been fortunate enough at other schools to have been on European trips with the teams, and you get an appreciation for different styles of basketball," said Morris. "You see a different way of doing a drill or a different out-of-bounds play but my feeling is that this will be about the young girls who have probably not been exposed to basketball at this level.
"I think this is why Mobolaji wanted to start this camp – to give them a greater opportunity. I know she feels she was really blessed to have a Division I scholarship and play in the Olympics. She thinks there are more girls out there that can play, and if given the opportunity can show what they can do."
The experience will be interesting as 60 young girls are brought together from all over the African nation for one purpose.
"If not for this camp, would not be going to camp at all," said Morris. "They are going to be appreciative and hard-working. Mobolaji was an outstanding hard-worker herself – whatever she demands of these campers is something she has lived herself as a player."
Akiode is currently an accountant at ESPN headquarters, but is also pursuing a Master's Degree in sports management. Morris enters his ninth season as head coach of the Scarlet Raiders in 2009-2010.

After all the lawsuits, op-eds, PR campaigns, industry ads and guilt trips, the best argument against pirating content may involve simply humanizing the creative process.
There's no better way to do that than for the artist to put him or herself out there. And there's no better way to do that than to skip polished PR drivel and go to rawest, most direct communications channel available, which, as of right now, is Reddit. The comedian Louis C.K. took to the message board this week to discuss his contribution to the economics-of -content debate, a self-produced $5 DRM-free download of one of his performances that garnered him hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit within a few days of its release.
The Reddit Q&A, as you can imagine, is alternately profane and useful as a glimpse into the thinking behind his decision to eschew corporate marketing and distribution systems and sell directly to fans:
I can only do this because I'm an individual and I can decide what my risks are that are acceptable and i can make my own goals for what is success. So I forwent (is that a word?) a lot of conventional routes and tried this. I am risking and there may be a ceiling to the success, but for me it's okay. i feel like as of this year, I make enough money as a standup my goal now is to bring the cost down for those who buy my stuff. i really mean that . It makes me much happier. Also I did see that there might be a tremendous upswing to this. I was really excited about this material and I thought it would be really cool to just put it out there myself with a little electronic hat that only takes fives and just see what happens.
A rather icky promotion from Amazon that gave discounts to shoppers who used a price-comparison app in brick-and-mortar stores and then bought from the online retailer ignited a rather global discussion of , of all things, local bookstores. (Books weren't included in the promotion, but still.) The novelist Richard Russo dropped a New York Times op-ed piece that recruited literary bigs like Stephen King and Scott Turow to help dismantle Amazon's attack on the little guy. It was Russo's allusion to a movie classic, however, that won me over:
As I see it, the problem with Amazon stems from the fact that though it started out as a bookseller, it isn't anymore, not really. It sells everything now, and it sells it all aggressively. Maybe Amazon doesn't care about the larger bookselling universe because it's simply too big to care. In a way it's become, like the John Candy character (minus the eager, slobbering benevolence) in Mel Brooks's movie "Spaceballs" -- half man, half dog and thus its own best friend.
Sadly, a Mel Brooks citation is not dispositive and so Russo's piece had its critics, among them Slate's Farhad Manjoo, who produced the very Slate-ian "Don't Support Your Independent Bookseller," which caused its own backlash. Wired's Tim Carmody did a nice job unpacking the debate and called for nuance in understanding its terms:
Amazon didn't happen to your local independent bookstore; America happened to your local bookstore, from television to Waldenbooks. However, that doesn't mean that traditional literary culture has to go extinct; it needs to evolve. We can (and do) have co-operative stores owned and operated by their patrons; we can (and do) have specialty stores where specific communities can come together, grouped by literary taste or politics or sexuality or genre; we can (and do) have new models of self-publishing, both print and digital, flourishing outside the boundaries of Amazon or any of the other emerging giants of distribution.
Since Spotify rolled out in the U.S. earlier this year, a lot of optimistic discussion around music-industry economics has focused on the subscription service -- making it essentially a hope that , if not great and white, is certainly large-ish and eggshell. The dream may get even smaller and dingier after Michael Robertson's piece on GigaOm detailing why Spotify will never be profitable. He puts the situation in a universal language -- hot dogs -- imagining a tube-steak purveyor with a single supplier enforcing a draconian set of terms, dictating price among other things:
Would this imaginary hot dog establishment be able to generate a profit? Never, because the economics are one-sided. The supplier will always elect the formula that captures the largest amount of money for themselves, completely disregarding the financial viability of the store. If the store miraculously managed to generate a profit, the landlord would simply raise the rates after two years. Such economic demands may be imaginary for the hot dog business, but they are the stark reality that every digital-music subscription service such as Spotify, Rhapsody, MOG, Rdio, and others must confront.
If you follow sports journalism, it'd be pretty hard to resist the notion that it has gotten better. Once the province of tedious gamers, star-f'ing profiles, and go-nowhere rumor-mongering, the field has developed a serious side, as New York's Gabriel Sherman observed this week. The centerpiece of his evidence is an excellent series by The New York Times on the late pro hockey player, Dirk Boogaard, whose role as a physical enforcer and fighter undoubtedly hastened his demise:
In the past, critical sports coverage was mostly directed at individual owners and coaches, for boneheaded decisions, and individual athletes, for their alleged greed come contract time. The critical change is that reporters and commentators are now asking tough questions of the leagues and executives who hold the real power. In the emerging Dickensian narrative, players are merely cogs in an industrial machine, used up and spit out. Pieces like the Boogaard series are laying bare the human costs of that arrangement.

(Reuters) - McDonald's popular $1 McDouble cheeseburger, which has lured customers to the Golden Arches since 2008, is getting hard to sustain as rising beef prices threaten the company's profit margin.
The world's biggest restaurant chain launched a competing $1 Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger in December. It also made the new sandwich - with one beef patty rather than the McDouble's two - a star of current television commercials, a status it shares with the McDouble.

By Vedant Kabra (Hrithik's Super Fan)
First things first – I am Hrithik Roshan's biggest fan ever. So you are signing up for this (apparently) lopsided review of Mohenjo Daro.
It'll be hard to express in words what I felt during the movie. The movie was flawed – yes. But then, in its perfect imperfections – it became more than just a film. It became an experience.
At least for the Hrithikian in me – the 3-year-old who sang KNPH songs with half-correct lyrics, the 12-year-old who waited under his building to meet him and the 19-year-old who posts a letter every month and waits everywhere to meet him. No, the entry scene isn't replete with heroism. There're perfect angular shots of Hrithik's tanned biceps. Now, if you're a Hrithik fan – the film has you right there. Soon, he is introduced in his full glory and it is the first 10 minutes when the film starts and the first 10 after the interval that you wouldn't want to miss.
A slight current passed through my body as I saw him on screen. It's unfair to keep us fans waiting for 2 years, but there is such novelty in every release – that it becomes less of a release and more of a celebration.
Yes, there's the much talked about crocodile scene and then the story unfolds. Sarman and his lovable best friend Hojo embark on their journey to Mohenjo Daro. This is precisely the drabbest portion of the film – with the story trudging at a snails pace and no such character development. Well, to be honest, I was just greedy to see more of Hrithik the hero then.
Frankly, the lead actress could have done a better job. She smiles and she (almost) cries and that's about it. She's pretty, but her range of emotions are limited. None of the supporting actors barring Maham (Kabir Bedi), Junu and Hojo have done a job that deserves a separate mention. Arunoday Singh has all the makings of a deliciously evil villain but he was under utilized. Frankly (again) – this film could have been renamed SarmanNama or some such and it'd have not mattered. For its a one man show all the way – he emotes, he dances like a dream, he loves 'innocently', he fights and he ultimately saves the civilization. As long as the 6 feet tall frame is on the screen, you really do not need anything else. (I went for Hrithik alone and I haven't made a better investment in long. This has got to be the best ₹200 I have spent in forever.)
True – a fan like me would want to dance. The film has those moments but each time these moments come – you'd want to only clap for Hrithik (yes, HR is synonymous with these scenes.) The right after interval duel(s) (it's never been seen before in Bollywood and you'll be at the edge of your seat for the most part) and the climax (it's never been seen before in Bollywood and you'll be at the edge of your seat for the most part x 2) – will leave you more enthralled than you've been in a while.
Some questions remain unanswered – all of which are pivotal to the film's plot and unlike every movie-spoiler around you – my conscience dictates me to NOT spoil any HR film. Ever. While the flaw of the film lies in the story – I also believe the film could have been fast-paced (at least in the first half). Importantly – while HR and Pooja lacked the much-needed chemistry – the chemistry HR shared with his friend Hojo more than made up for it.
It would be unfair to not dedicate an entire paragraph to the CGI. It was top-notch and the flood that struck the region LOOKED like a flood in the truest sense. The top shots of the settlement look believable as did the crocodile.
I'm glad it was the trailer that was not so good. With social media ho-hum before the film's release, I was a tad bit disheartened. But the film more than made up for that.
I am not too sure about the historical flaws and I couldn't care less. As the quintessential Indian Cine goer – I was more than just SUPERDUPERTROOPER happy with the entertainment the film delivered.
Why was it an experience ?
I laughed with the film.
I felt the pain when the secrets were revealed.
I was sad when Sarman was beaten up.
I was happy when Sarman killed X, Y, Z (can't name them. Conscience of a serial spoiler.)
Mohenjo Daro was Rahmagic at its best.
Dear Hrithik – you could come to the screens more often. More than once in two years. You give me nothing to complain about. Water right scripts would seal the deal.
But who am I kidding. I am happy as long as you're on the screen.

We just got word that local composer T. C. Crosser is working on a new modern chamber orchestra piece entitled "Salt: The Vignettes" and he needs some help to cover the cost of musicians, recording, mastering and archival footage of the entire process.
Written for string quartet, piano and percussion, the piece is an autobiographical account of Crosser's time as a homeless youth living in San Diego before being adopted by a number of performing arts organizations in Southern California and making a name for himself within the performing arts community.
After five years of music for film and modern dance projects all over the country and abroad, Crosser says he's going back to his roots with this work. He describes it as being reminiscent of his earlier work but with strong influences in Punk, French Jazz and Russian string composition.
Usually dance companies commission him for large dark comedic absurdist works, but he's now really excited to not only be able to do an autobiographical work on a more intimate scale but also to make it purely San Francisco based which he hasn't done in more than five years.Crosser told us that the entire work is being done in the Tenderloin in his composition studio right next door to Studio C on Hyde between Turk and Eddy. Since 'Salt' is about the homeless he says it's fairly fitting given the location. When we asked him about the biggest similarity between the homeless communities of San Diego, where he experienced it, and San Francisco, he said:
When you're in survival mode you have a tendency to focus more on the little things (i.e. bumming cigarettes) and the constant looming emotional reflections of how you got there in the first place.
Right now he's stil in in "composition mode" and working with his group of musicians to map everything out. His team of "amazing musicians" are: Kevin Rogers (violin, SF Conservatory), Erik Malmquist (violin, SF Conservatory), Ivo Bokulic (viola, backup for The Family Crest), Jerry Liu (chello, SF Conservatory) and J M Paul (previous drummer for Patty LaBelle). The work will be recorded with with Scott McDowell of Hyde Studio C. Although Crosser says fundraising is not going nearly as well as they had hoped, they're hoping to at least have the live performance ready by the end of March and after that to raise enough funds to hit the studio.
So if you'd like to see this chamber music composition finished, head over to Kickstarter to support them.

Monday, March 12, 2012
The good news was I was still able to work on the important writing. Blogging can take a back seat to the WiPs. I finished yet another round of rewrites on Parallel Lives and decided to take one last, quick pass through (actually, it's to make sure the latest alterations are really in there, since I did some of them as separate docs. "newchapter30", for example, or "33a", etc. Most of the time I'd work on them as a separate doc and then paste it right in, but some of them didn't go that way. But it was sailing along.
Until now.
Last week I had a sit down with one of the people in my writing group. We had a great conversation about the book and I walked away feeling pretty darn good about it. BUT…she suggested something. In her view, one of the key characters was like this – and she drew a half circle in the air with her hands – and you want her to be like this: and here she made a complete circle. We talked about ways to round her out a little, and I could see the possibilities, and I could see that the underpinnings were already there. Most of it would require a bit of tweaking. So, I sat down to try to write.
And nothing happened.
Most of this doesn't require much beyond some tweaking, as I said. The problem is where it requires a fairly big change, and that ain't happening. I'm not sure if this is a case of me being afraid to kill a pretty major darling or if it's my instinct saying the scenes in question are perfect* as they are, but it just ain't happening. I've been spinning like a one-legged duck in a whirlpool. So now I've got my blog mojo back and my book mojo missing. Crap.
*Knowing that 'perfect' means it's not really perfect, but is probably good enough to stand as is.
And now I'll shift gears and drop this in. I'm not good at picking favorites at anything, but this is probably my favorite song from my favorite album. No video, just one great piece of music. See you on Friday.

Welcome back! Nice job working on those revisions. That "fairly big change" character revision sounds tough. I guess, since you don't want to change it, you think the story as a whole would be better how it is now?ReplyDelete
I understand. March has some pretty painful memories for me, too. On the bright side, it's almost halfway over. :)ReplyDelete
I'm glad you're so close to finishing revisions on Parallel Lives. As for your writing group's suggestion, well, sometimes you just have to go with your gut. Good luck!
If it's not coming, I would write down as much as you can remember of what you see happening with this character--just notes to yourself. Then come back later and try to work it. You can continue writing with the changes in mind as though you've already made them. If that makes any sense at all.ReplyDelete
Good luck!
What this tells me is, rather than your writer's group companion being correct in her assessment of your character (Madison??) needing some rounding out, maybe she doesn't, in your mind. And since your the author, you really know best. She's your creation, so you have to be willing to change her. If you like her as she is, then she's exactly as she was meant to be. Just because someone says you might think about doing it this way, doesn't men you have to, or that they are right. You have to feel totally comfortable with your revisions.ReplyDelete
Thanks, folks. Donna, it does make sense, and is a good approach to take. I've made a bunch of notes. Some are easy and I could probably work them in in a few minutes. Others, not so much.ReplyDelete
Completely agree, Nancy. The suggestions made tapped into something that's deep in my gut, one of those nagging little doubts, so I can definitely see the validity in what she said. However, I think after a week of not being able to take it anywhere, the writing, so to speak, is on the wall.
Sometimes, that's just your instincts. You can't follow every piece of advice you get. You'll never finish your book and it will end up a disaster. Even advice that makes a valid point doesn't always need to be followed. This is where you have to really have a set as an author because you have to put your foot down and say, that's a great point but this is the way it's going to be. When I was making the rounds of crit partners on Finding Claire Fletcher, one of my partners thought I needed to inject Claire's religious beliefs into the book. Since it is not a religious-themed book, I decided not to do this. Not because it's not relevant but just because I would be trying to do too much. The crit partner really did make a great point but in the end I had to make the decision that I was satisfied with it as it stood. There's nothing wrong with that.ReplyDeleteReplies
And in the end that's what I've done. I saw the possibilities, and because of that little nagging thing I gave it a shot, but it just wasn't working. The little nagging thing is not nagging now, and I'm 'done'. At least until an agent or editor tells me otherwise, hah hah.Delete
Alas, due to an overwhelming tide of spam from Anonymous commenters, you must now be a registered user to comment. Sorry, folks, I hope it does not cause inconvenience.

the aircraft engines were inches off the lawn as shown in the official parking lot security videos.
The light poles in question officially defied all known physics laws and did not rebound in a manner reflecting being struck by a 535 mph golf club or baseball bat. Several apparently just laid down gently next to their bases and several flew in directions completely different than the easterly trajectory of the wings which officially and allegedly struck them.
Not one photo and not one eyewitness (besides Lloyde England) reported the light pole sticking out through the windshield, including the Federal agents guarding the taxi. There was no sign of injury or even a bandaid on the face of Lloyde, even though he allegedly sat inches away from an alleged projectile piercing his windshield with great force.
First of all, people have a hard time relating relative positions of objects from an areal photo when they are used to only seeing them from the ground. That is a fact. Even reading a map can be difficult where everything is in a clearly defined grid with no clutter but when it's a photo it totally changes perspective.
Prather: Up there, where that building is, right there.
CMH officer: Towards the Navy Annex...
Prather: The Navy Annex, above midway. You can see where is a little area on the roof... the lower roof [...]. Right along in that area is where the American Airlines plane came directly across that, and it was only about 3 and half or 4 feet above that. We thought it was the weirdest thing. "It is too damn low", we were saying [...].
So as it came across there... and once the plane came across the building it lowered down [...], it came on down in between where the gas station [CITGO] is and our parking lot. [...] Then he just aimed that nose of the plane like a missile straight over the Pentagon. So as it came right there everybody just ran. I ran into the [inaudible]. [...]
We came just side of this door, we looked over our shoulder on this side (because we were turned this way), that's when we noticed that big airplane come across that building. And I'm just shocked the plane as close it was, he didn't take the roof of that building off.
CMH officer: The Navy Annex?
Prather: Yeah. That's how close it was. It was 3 and a half four feet, I wouldn't give 5 feet, I wouldn't think it was that high.

You are correct about one thing. I am giving this debate far more time than it deserves. And in typical truther fashion, you resort to name calling and ridicule.
I offered a very plausible explanation for Lioyde's account based on the info you posted. Then on further examination realized there was in fact yet another possibility. Both much more plausible than him being part of some deep dark conspiracy. Something you will never see because you aren't interested in truth, only in proving that your theory is correct. The only thing what I said contradicts, is what you believe.
You bold and underline (why not italicize too?) like it has some relevance when I clearly identified "the 1st 2 witnesses" and the "maintenance guys" and pointed out exactly where their stories conflict and how the margin of error is close enough to put the plane within striking distance of the 1st pole. My comments were my opinion of your interviewing technique which I personally find questionable. It's not that I only reviewed 2 witnesses, it's that they were the FIRST 2. I saw no reason to pursue it any further.
I know I will never change your mind. Nothing will ever change your mind. God himself could never change your mind.
I'm not concerned about you. It's all the other people that read this crap and take your word for it. I beg people to examine the evidence for themselves and not be swayed by the person presenting it. And rather than accept the highly improbable, examine exactly what is possible.
Don't sweat it kid. You have your 15 minutes of fame. You have in fact written yourself into the story.

Light poles are nothing like a ball floating in air or setting gently on a tee. A lot of the energy imparted to them would have been used simply ripping them from their base.
Add to that the fact that they would have been hit above their center of gravity which would have generally sent them flipping into the ground, not into the air.
I shouldn't bother with this one either. I doubt any witness was actually ASKED if they saw the pole sticking out of his car as the physical evidence is quite obvious (well at least to some of us).
Lloyde clearly stated in all interviews that one of the first things he did was take it out of the car with the help of another person. Now you can point out how that other person never said a word and went on his way (oooooooooo. How spooky).
From the article above:
Houston Fire Department District Chief Jack Williams said the twin-engine Gulfstream jet, arriving from Dallas Love Field, apparently clipped a tall light tower at a Beltway 8 toll plaza, shearing off a wing. He said the severed wing rests near the base of the tower.

Now you are resorting to lying about what I said, once again failing to quote me.
I did not call you a name nor did I ridicule you.
Talk about a convoluted, inaccurate, and well...schizophrenic response!
Perhaps they're schizophrenic too?
This is the only witness I've seen so far where there is some evidence to support this.
The evidence proves that no plane crashed in the Pentagon and the plane that people saw tree top level over Arlington timed perfectly with the explosion was actually banking and going relatively slow when compared to the fraudulent NTSB reported speed of 460 knots.
This is confirmed by aviation professional witnesses Sean Boger (heliport air traffic controller) & Terry Morin (at the navy annex) and also by ANC employee William Middleton.
All said it took around 10 seconds to fly from the Navy Annex to the Pentagon.

China probably unstapling the visa issueDecember 9th, 2010 - 11:46 pm ICT by ANI
By Smita Prakash
Brussels, Dec 9 (ANI): The stapled visa issue between India and China seems to have been settled. Though neither side is expected to make a formal statement, a government official speaking on background on board Air India One said that he did not expect Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to make a statement during his visit to India from December 16-18 on China no longer issuing stapled visas to Indians residing in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
However, the fact is that China seems to be moving in that direction.
Recently, when Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh met with Wen Jiabao in Hanoi, Vietnam, on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit, both leaders had discussed the issue.
Dr Singh made India's displeasure known over the Chinese procedure quite evident when he said that "both parties" need to show sensitivity to each other's core issues.
Official sources say that Wen Jiabao had then assured Dr Singh that they (China) would take care of the matter.
So far, India has turned a blind eye to people traveling with stapled visas outside the country. For example, Israel used to offer stapled visas for those who wanted to travel to Israel, but didn't want their passports stamped for fear that some countries which do not recognize the state of Israel, might not issue visas to people who had traveled to that country.
However, in the past two years, Israel has not been issuing stapled visas either.
India used to allow people with stapled visas to travel out of the country, as that is usually a common practice.
However, with China, it became more of a diplomatic tussle, as stapled visas were being issued to people of the troubled state of Jammu and Kashmir, which gave the impression that China did not recognize the status of Jammu and Kashmir as being part of India.
"As far as India is concerned, there is no grey area regarding Jammu and Kashmir. It is a part of India, and the people of the state are no different in their status as in the rest of India so they should be given the same visa status as other Indians," said the Indian official.The official said that while no country is willing to admit that it made a mistake and revoked the decision instantaneously, the steps it takes to correct its mistakes is what should be taken into account finally.
The fact that the Chinese side has indicated to India that it will "sort out the matter", is a sign that Beijing is probably stopping the process of granting stapled visas.
However, India is likely to bring up the issue during the Chinese premier's visit.
The official said: "China wasn't one to make grand statements. They move surely, but quietly-whether on the boundary issue or action on trade-related matters. They do their work surely but steadily. The India-China border is one of the most peaceful borders that India has. The intrusion level has gone down."
The official further said: "That the two sides have 'shown an inclination to manage issues of concern' and 'show sensitivity to each other's core concerns'."
Euphemistically speaking, this means that both India and China know that they will probably never see eye to eye on any issue, but that open bickering and grand standing would achieve little.
Instead, moving at a snail's pace, but moving forward is probably more productive than getting hopping mad at each other on every issue.
India is expected to raise issues impacting bilateral ties during Wen Jiabao's visit. (ANI)

I think everyone round here uses full Chrome anyway but since the agreement to flog off the Opera browser business to a Chinese firm, I've had two hacking hits with at least one set of IPs coming from China which is sad as it literally never happened before, or this fast (twice in 3-4 days). If Surfeasy stays independent then no worries.
Sad to see it the old Red "O" go after all these years but Win10 can be enough of a headache without hackers on top seemingly preferring to steal Google and other general info for fraud purposes.

Sharon Grant, forced to resign as president of the Chicago Board of Education after her indictment last month on federal and state tax charges, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court to income tax evasion. Grant, who admitted she failed to file tax returns for 17 years, faces 2 to 2 1/2 years in prison when she is sentenced Oct. 19. Grant, 45, declined comment after her guilty plea in the Dirksen Federal Building. In a statement she said her tax problems "in no way interfered with my efforts . . . on behalf of the children of Chicago. While I am extremely sorry for my shortcomings, they do not dampen the fact that our children have improved and will continue to improve in their academic endeavors." Asst. U.S. Atty.
