The Puppet Mistress
Dear Agent:
Seventeen-year-old Vaila Grayson is the reigning video game champion. Her celebrity brings her a video game prototype to review. With no saves, continues, or resets, walking away is not an option, as a strange magic imprisons her inside her room. The only way to escape terrible monsters and challenging riddles is to successfully complete the game or let her avatar die. Vaila might be able to focus, if Sir Cenric Alva, wasn't a sexy, twenty-one year old knight, and so very real. Unaware he's a pawn in her game, Cenric believes he has fallen victim to a puppet master, an evil magician who controls his movements. Renegade magic threatens to annihilate all magicians, including Cenric, and finding a Spanish princess is essential in destroying the darkness.
During a battle with a mystical beast, the princess is killed. Cenric is bitten, but it is Vaila who bleeds from a similar wound. Her soul is now tethered to Cenric's and enduring each others pain and wild emotions seems minor compared to dealing with the love blooming between them.
Their new goal is to stay alive while searching for a way to slay the dark magic. With an unforeseen doom stalking along the periphery of their adventure, Vaila only has one chance to save them both.
"The Puppet Mistress" is a 70,000-word YA fantasy novel with romantic elements, told in alternating points of view.
I think you got caught up trying to answer everybody's questions and comments from the last version. Taking a step backward is, paradoxically, a natural step in the evolution of the query. While you've cleared up some issues readers were having, you've introduced a few more.
What's happening for me, mostly, is that I don't have a sense of real story arc. For some reason, this version to me sounds more like a gaming story line. There are monsters and riddles and renegade magic and a Spanish princess who seems to be key to all, but no sooner do we learn about her than she's dead and then there's another random monster, a new goal and some disembodied dark magic, which may or may not be the same as the renegade magic and/or the darkness and/or the stalking doom.
I think even the way Cenric is described here is subtly different: "and so very real" doesn't necessarily mean to me that he's a living, breathing human. I was also surprised to learn that he seems to be a magician as well as a knight? In this version, there's an awful lot of magic and evil magicians and it all feels kind of random. As written, too, it now seems that the tethering of Vaila's soul to Cenric's is a consequence of him being bitten.
Also as written, the "one chance to save them" bumps right against them needing to find a way to slay the dark magic, but at this point there's been multiple things they've needed to be saved from. I'm feeling the dark magic isn't the Big Bad here because it doesn't feel like it's manipulating the random beasts and riddles.
Plus, this is a game. They slay the dark magic and win and then what? Is the question of the "then what" part of the stakes? An obstacle? I think that not looking beyond the game itself is one aspect that makes this feel like a gaming story. It's a closed system, and this query isn't convincing me there IS anything beyond this game campaign for these two.
Coincidentally, I saw this yesterday about half of a 2-book, 6-figure deal being about gamers getting caught up in the game, so I think interest is out there. It just has to feel elevated from the campaign itself.

Query Revision 62: Redux
The Puppet Mistress
9 comments:

Maybe if I bang my head against the wall, it'll shake some creativity loose.
"The Puppet Mistress" is the first book in a trilogy and maybe that's where the story arc is getting muddled. I understand that this story needs to stand on its own in regards to conflict and resolution. Some sources say you mention series potential in the query and others suggest leaving it out. What is the consensus on this?
Yes, the bite is what causes Cenric's and Vaila's souls to be tied together.
I've done the exercises addressing character motivation, turning point, and the dark moment, but I'm obviously struggling to portray that, with compelling flare, in my letter.
Back to the drawing board.

I think you have a special hurdle here to overcome -- the prejudice against "game campaign" stories. While of course being true to, you know, gaming campaign stories. Your turning point and dark moment, etc, may well happen within the campaign but I think you need to somehow make it relevant to Vaila's life outside the game.
As far as consensus about anything when querying - HA! Most of the advice I've seen is to assure the reader the first book can stand alone, but go ahead and mention it has "series potential." My advice is to make clear the arc of *this* book but perhaps mention something of the larger arc. I take it they don't defeat the thing that's stalking them from the periphery? You can hint it's there, but there needs to be something concrete they obtain at the end of THIS book.
Is escaping with their lives enough? I dunno. Does the dark WANT something from them? Why does Vaila even get the prototype? Why is a magician setting up this kind of interactive play? Why is a pixellated world intruding upon ours? Not all the ends have to be tied up in the first book, but I'm not sure the query can ignore mentioning something of the larger arc in this case without making the book sound like an actual deus ex machina story.
I think the bones of the query are there; for this story, I think you need to layer in the assurances now. (FWIW: I rewrote my last query 5 times before it was removed enough to not be immediately pegged as a ripoff of Jurassic Park.) It all comes down to reader perception.

I think this is a book I'd read but I'm a bit confused about what's going on.
I like the idea of Vaila being a game champion and getting a game to review, and then being drawn into the game.
What I didn't understand is why she had to complete the game when apparently she could just let her avatar die. Is she physically trapped in her room? What will happen if she dies in the game?
I'm now realising that her avatar is Sir Cenric, not some image of herself as I'd assumed, and I'm finding the idea of falling in love with your own avatar to be rather strange.
If she fails in the game and her avatar dies, does she die in real life? (I don't see why she would.) I'm not sure what succeeding in the game entails either.
I don't know if you've read Charles Stross' Halting State but it's the nearest I've seen someone come to making what happens in a computer game seem to matter in the real world, and I thought he'd fudged it a bit in places!
These are just my random thoughts. If none of them are any use, then please just ignore them!

I looked up avatar because I was confused also. An avatar is the user's representation of self. Still confused.
I'm looking at scrambled eggs. Cencric in para one thinks he's in the clutches of an evil puppet master, in para two Vaila's soul is tied to C's they endure each other's pain, wild emotions ensue but those wild emots are minor to blooming love. Huh? How did that happen?
Next para they have a new goal. Staying alive, that was her first goal. I think. The Spanish princess who had to be found to destroy the darkness, was she supposed to be killed to destroy the dark? If so, why do they have to slay dark magic? Is the darkness different from the dark magic? I am guessing so. Alluding to unforeseen doom doesn't tell me anything about the story. I don't think the princess matters to the query.
I guess at what's going on.
Focus on the story, not events and extra characters. Hope that helps.

Attraction to a computer game character seemed ridiculous to Vaila until the day she tested a super game and tumbled into love with Sir Cenric, her screen Knight. The game becomes complicated when Sir C takes a nasty nip from a dragon and Vaila bleeds . Virtual/actual reality blending bites.
Communication is hard with a computer screen dividing worlds but not impossible. Emotions blend in this new age game. As the two take on murderous other world challenges the game grows a spider web of complications inside and outside of the program. Cenric hates having his strings pulled.
A Knight is just what Vaila needs in her life. If she can help Cenric stay alive her most important challenge will be to figure out how to merge their worlds and lives. First, he has to quit thinking she's an evil puppet master.

I love your revamp of this query. It's awesome. Thank you.
I was under the impression that "avatar" could be used interchangable with "video game character." My mistake has led to a lot of confusion.
Hopefully I've cleared that up with Take #4, though I feel like I'm writing in circles.
While seventeen-year-old Vaila Grayson is the reigning video game champion, she is overwhelmed by a game with no saves, resets, or continues. Stubbornness won't allow her to walk away and neither will the dimpled smile of her video knight, Sir Cenric Alva. She soon realizes Cenric is not just a collection of pixels, but a real person under a curse.
Unaware he's a pawn in her game, Cenric believes he has fallen victim to a puppet master, an evil magician who controls his movements. This complicates his quest to destroy the Negura, a renegade black magic that threatens to annihilate the magicians of 14th century Spain.
When Vaila's fighting skills fail to deliver against one of the Negura's beasts, Cenric is bitten, but she also cries out when blood dribbles down her arm. Their souls are now intertwined. Emotions and pain alike are shared and death would certainly take them both down.
The guardian of secrets holds the information to defeating the Negura, but finding him will unearth more that just their enemy's weakness. Hidden abilities are rising to the surface in Vaila as she enlists her ingenuity to tackle side quests and terrible monsters. Her greatest challenge, however, is ignoring the sparks igniting between her and Cenric. With the Negura stalking her every move, Vaila has only one chance to stay focused.

All-Stars, avatar is interchangeable with video game character. Our friend Mac just happens not to be familiar with the word or modern gaming, I guess. And I think FH was confused by your writing, not the word. Make things clear by introducing Sir Cenric as such: "...her avatar Sir Cenric Alva..."
Is the setting in the video game world or in the real world? Your latest revision makes it sound like she gets sucked into the game, but earlier versions left me with the impression that she was more or less hypnotized by it, much like the Haunted Majora's Mask youtube legend.
If she's sucked into the game, take a step back and look at the overall plot. You might try focusing the query on her purpose for being drawn into the game (not forgetting goal, motivation and conflict).
If this is a psychological and/or haunting story that mostly takes place in the real world, make that clear while focusing on internal conflict and characterization.

Oh my, am I confused again? I didn't think I was until I went to Wki and they gave me this.
Avatar (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaAn avatar is a computer user's representation of himself/herself or alter ego whether in the form of a three-dimensional model used in computer games, ...
A-S, whatever works. It's no never mind to me. Language, meaning and use change rapidly. Matt, you gave me a good belly laugh/coffe spew. I appreciate your delicate phrasing.
Your last take, if this is a query, you need to cut it back. Take those hedge clippers and trim away. Brutal, like losing a limb for every phrase but necessary.
I could be wrong but from what I read the length is enough for those evil agents to hit auto reply.
Having blurted that out, you are getting closer to how you want to present the query, right?
I confess I did the Anon query, I couldn't get signed in, (new computer)running late so copied and pasted then took off for the bus at a run.
I'm going to re-read your last again.
Best you two,

Once I put this in a word doc, it isn't too long at all. Sorry! I played with it. One issue: when does C. realize he's not in the hands of an evil puppet master? Does he love her back when he's bitten and his fear goes away? Maybe a line at the end – if (when) she wins, then where do the two of them go/meet?
Seventeen-year-old Vaila Grayson, reigning video game champion, feels overwhelmed playing a game with no saves, resets, or continues. She's stubborn and won't walk away from the game and the dimpled smile of her video knight, Sir Cenric Alva. The game goes to a new level when she realizes Cenric is a real person under a curse.
Cenric believes he has fallen victim to an evil puppet master who controls his movements. His quest to destroy the Negura, a renegade black magic that threatens to annihilate the magicians of 14th century Spain and his entire family.
Vaila's fighting skills fail to block one of the Negura's beasts. Cenric is bitten but blood dribbles down her arm. Their souls are now intertwined, like it or not. Emotions and pain are shared. Death will take them both out of the game and their lives.
The Guardian of Secrets holds the key to defeat the Negura, but finding him will let other monstrous things loose. Hidden abilities rise in Vaila as she tackles side quests and terrible monsters. Her greatest challenge, however, is ignoring the sparks igniting between her and Cenric. With the Negura stalking Cenric Vaila must focus. She's playing the game of their lives.
Good luck and we all feel like we're writing in circles after rewriting so much. You made progress, good progress here. Ignore/use my changes, I was jamming around with it,

The FTA has welcomed TfL's plans to improve cross-river connectivity across east London, which will help relieve congestion hotspots for freight operators such as the Blackwall Tunnel.
TfL's Connecting the Capital vision proposes 13 new bridges and tunnels, which will boost the number of river crossings between Imperial Wharf and Dartford by more than a third.
They are to be built to support the predicted population rise in London from 8.6 million to 10 million by 2030 and relieve pinch points on existing infrastructure.
The majority of new river crossings will be in east London, where population growth is predicted to be highest. There are currently just three road crossings in the 23km between Tower Bridge and the M25.
A consultation was launched yesterday on two of the proposed crossings to improve connections between east and south-east London: Gallions Reach to link Thamesmead and Beckton; and Belvedere, linking Belvedere to Rainham.
It follows a previous consultation, now closed, on a new crossing at Silvertown, which would connect Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Docks.
Natalie Chapman, FTA head of policy for London, said she welcomed the proposals as cross-river connectivity in east London is "extremely poor" in comparison to west London.
At present, the alternative crossing in east London is the Blackwall Tunnel, with its 4m (13.1ft) height limit restricting access for taller lorries and leading to lengthy detours to the M25 to cross the Thames.
Chapman added: "The Blackwall Tunnel is a key pinch point on the capital's network, it is unreliable and the regular congestion around it means the local area suffers particularly from poor air quality. FTA fully supports the proposals for a new crossing at Silvertown and today's announcement of plans for additional crossings further east is good news for business."
TfL added that each crossing could cost up to £1bn, with costs partly funded by a charge for vehicles to use them, which it said would also help manage demand. No decisions have yet been made on costs.

LOS ANGELES — Vivid Entertainment has released "Wolverine XXX: An Axel Braun Parody" online at Vivid.com.
The film is also available on VividTV and the DVD version will be in stores on Sept. 10.
A spoof of the fan favorite comic character that entered pop culture after the Vietnam War, director Axel Braun said he'd approached his latest adult parody movie with his usual attention to detail.
"Wolvie has always been one of my favorite superheroes, and I wanted to do him justice," Braun, said. "Even though Hugh Jackman did a terrific job making the character his own, there were several things that always bothered me, one being his height (Wolverine is supposed to be much shorter), and the other one the fact that in six movies he still hasn't worn the iconic yellow/blue costume…so I decided to fix all that."
Adult star Tommy Gunn stars as the mysterious mutant superhero with an unbreakable skeleton, retractable Adamantium (the indestructible metal alloy bonded to Wolverine's skeleton and bone claws) and an overly developed sex drive. He eventually discovers that he has been used and experimented on as a living weapon by several governments and agencies over the years, each altering or wiping his memory to suit its needs. While unraveling the threads of his past, Wolverine encounters other fascinating characters — and hot sex.
Braun added, "This is a career-defining role for Tommy Gunn. He put a lot of focus and energy into it and he is absolutely superb as Wolverine. Aiden Ashley commands the screen in every scene as Domino, and the banter between Derrick Pierce as Deadpool and Xander Corvus as Spider-Man is all kinds of awesome. There's a lot of story, a lot of fun, a lot of really cool costumes and plenty of sex…so hopefully adult movie fans will love it as much as I do."
The cast also includes Allie Haze as Rogue, Andy San Dimas as Jean Grey, Asa Akira as Mariko, Charmane Star as the handmaiden, Maya Hills as Lady Deathstrike, Evan Stone as Sabretooth, Lexington Steele as Nick Fury, and Mike Moz as Professor Xavier.

The Energy Bill was first introduced to Parliament - into the Lords - on 8 December 2010.
On 15 March 2011, the Energy Bill moved to the House of Commons with its First Reading.
The key Second Reading stage was held on Tuesday 10 May 2011 and the Commons Committee Stage was held over three weeks in June 2011. Steve Brine sat as a Government MP on the Bill Committee and made many contributions to the line by line scrutiny of this Bill.
The Energy Act received Royal Assent on 18 October 2011.
The Act seeks to provide for some of the key elements of the Coalition's Programme for Government and its first Annual Energy Statement, and has three principal objectives:
- Tackling barriers to investment in energy efficiency to homes and businesses
- Enhancing energy security; and
- Enabling investment in low carbon energy supplies
The key purpose of the Bill is to provide a step change in the provision of energy efficiency measures to home and businesses through the Green Deal. It will create a new financing framework to enable the provision of fixed improvements to the energy efficiency of households and non-domestic properties, funded by a charge on energy bills that avoids the need for consumers to pay upfront costs. Steve Brine has recently secured confirmation from Ministers that the Green Deal will also be available to Park Home owners. See more on this story here.
The Act is the first step in our legislative programme and further legislation will be sought to implement, for example, the findings of the Electricity Market Reform Programme.
Full details of the Act, including the Green Deal ...
You can see full details on the Energy Act page of DECC's website here. You can search this page on the Parliament website for contributions by Steve Brine during the passage of the Energy Bill in 2011.

The benefits of Making Tax Digital include:
· Cash-basis accounting so that thousands more will be able to pay tax based simply on the difference between money they have taken in and what they have paid out, meaning tradesmen will pay tax on cash received rather than invoices issued
· Prompts and alerts to help businesses get tax right and giving advice on tax reliefs they might be missing out on
· Greater certainty over tax bills so businesses don't have to wait until the end of the year to find out how much they have to pay.
The decision to exempt the smallest businesses and landlords from digital record-keeping and quarterly updates follows months of constructive engagement with business and agent groups. The government is also considering deferring digital record-keeping and quarterly updating for a further group of small businesses and will explore options to assist businesses with the transition. Finally the consultation documents confirm that those who cannot go digital will not be required to.
The Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Jane Ellison MP, said:
"We are committed to a transparent and accessible tax system fit for the digital age, and Making Tax Digital is at the heart of these plans. This new system will make the UK's tax administration more efficient and straightforward, and will offer businesses greater clarity when it comes to paying their tax bills.
"By replacing the annual tax return with simple, digital updates, businesses will be able to concentrate on putting people and profit, not paperwork, first."
Mike Cherry, FSB National Chairman, said:
"Today's announcement by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury Jane Ellison MP on quarterly tax reporting proposals is incredibly important. Together with the Chief Secretary David Gauke MP, we have seen real dialogue with the business community. The Government has listened to FSB representations on behalf of small businesses up and down the UK.
Removing small firms and the self-employed with modest turnovers altogether from the proposals will now mean that in addition to the 1.6 million small businesses and landlords that were already excluded, as a result of these changes announced, a further 1.3 million small firms and landlords will no longer be in scope. This means that half of the UK's 5.4 million small businesses will not be affected by quarterly tax reporting. The expansion of cash accounting, a longer lead-in time for implementation and the offer of direct financial assistance will also help.
FSB will be submitting new evidence into the consultations announced today, and look forward to working with the Government and contributing to its Making Tax Digital agenda."
Edward Troup, Executive Chair, HMRC, said:
"Making Tax Digital represents very significant change. It will bring the tax system into the 21st century and help make HMRC one of the most digitally-advanced tax administrations in the world. Going digital will abolish the annual tax return as we know it by 2020, replacing it with a personalised digital service through which taxpayers will be able to send and receive information to HMRC at the click of a button.
"There is still a lot to design and develop, and it's important that we do this hand-in-hand with our customers and their representatives; these consultations are the next step in this process."

Ensuring food security in a future which will have constrained resources, and which will be feeling the effects of climate change, is one of the thorniest issues facing policy makers today. The natural resource base upon which agriculture depends, soils, water and biodiversity, is being degraded. Supplies of fossil fuels used to make inputs, and minerals such as phosphate, will become increasingly scarce. This means that we urgently need to improve the resource use efficiency of farming systems.
In short, the answer is yes, although we should perhaps be talking about how organic farming can help the world feed itself. As well as investment in organic and other agro-ecological methods for farmers in the Global South in order to increase local food production and markets, for the Global North it is imperative that we see a significant shift in diets.
As well as changing our farming systems, it's as much about eating differently, feeding our livestock differently and wasting much less food.

In Ruth Porat's Case (and Google's), $400+ Billion in Market Capitalization. The most important employee at Google IS NOT the computer science engineer working at Google X's latest moonshot project. Google's most important employee is Ruth Porat.
Here's The Wall Street Journal's (WSJ) Alistair Barr quote regarding Porat's influence and performance during her first Google Earnings Conference Call:
Porat's performance helped push Google shares to a record in after-hours trading Thursday, valuing the company over $400 billion for the first time.
According to Allstair, Google's stock price surged $65 billion in market value in Friday's July 17th trading. So is Ruth Porat the $65 Billion Trusted Advisor or $400 Billion Trusted Advisor?
I'm going with $400 Billion because it makes for a better headline.
Porat's Former Wall Street Analysts Peers on Why They Trust Her
A Monster Opening. If Google's July 16th Earnings Conference Call was analogous to a Hollywood summer blockbuster movie opening, it's safe to say the critical reviews are glowing. From Alistair Barr's WSJ article, On First Conference Call, Google's New CFO Is a Hit:
"I would rate her a solid 9 or 9.5" out of 10, said Neil Doshi, an analyst at Mizuho Securities USA. "She gave a lot more qualitative and directional information than her predecessors and she seems to be more in-tune with the investor community."
"The stock clearly reacted positively to CFO Porat's remark that the possibility of capital return is in the company's thinking," said Daniel Salmon, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets.
Respect Your Audience Because Your Spoken and Written Words Matter. The words financial analysts carefully listened for during Google's earnings report according to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal included but weren't limited to:
- Prioritize
- Prioritization
- Discipline
- Focus
- Continued Growth
- Capital Return
Build Trust by Listening to Understand and Seeking to Be Understood. Google notoriously maintained an antagonistic relationship with Wall Street. Porat is transforming that past relationship by:
- Showing she wants to provide Wall Street analysts more information and transparency
- Building trust by developing a framework to share information behind Google's decision making
These quotes from both the Alistair Barr (WSJ) and Conor Dougherty (The New York Times) articles provide clues on how Ruth Porat will build and reinforce trust with the Wall Street community:
(From Dougherty's Article) Analysts are starving for specifics about what exactly is driving this and what it means about Google's core search business and growing areas like YouTube. During the call, one analyst asked if more specific disclosures would be coming in the months and years ahead. Ms. Porat did not make any commitments, but said: "I am trying to create a framework that helps you understand where we're going."
(From Barr's Article) She also said Google will try to give investors more details about its businesses. Google's stinginess with information is a common compliant on Wall Street. "I'm trying to understand how best to provide more insight into the drivers of the business and beyond what is currently provided," she said.
Communicate as a Representative of Trusted Communities. Before joining Google, Ruth Porat served as one of Morgan Stanley's Co-Heads of Technology Investment Banking. She is a Stanford University alumnus and serves as Vice Chair of the Stanford University Board of Trustees.
Ruth Porat IS Silicon Valley. And, her words and actions showed why on July 16th.
A Personal Note as a Dad to Two Young Daughters
What Is Not Stated Is Just As Powerful As What Is Spoken (or Written). Conor Dougherty's New York Times article shared a very telling quote (and sentiment) about Ruth Porat, Google, and Silicon Valley:
"She confirmed that they are more open to focusing on expense controls, more open to providing new disclosures and more open to potentially returning cash," said Ben Schachter, an analyst with Macquarie Securities. "Those are the three things people wanted, and she came through."
So I'm Going To Say It (and Write It). There is a fourth thing people want. And, it extends beyond Silicon Valley's self-anointed "we're here to change the world" statements:
Women of all ages (but especially young, professional women) need to see someone of Ruth Porat's caliber and status kicking ass and taking names at the highest levels of Silicon Valley senior executive management.
As a Dad to two young daughters, I'm betting on people like Ruth Porat and Marissa Mayer (every day of the week and twice on Sunday).

Chile overtook Thailand to become the leading supplier of fresh fruit to China in 2016 according to data from Direcon-ProChile.
China imported US$1.207bn of Chilean fruit last year, an increase of 23 per cent on 2015. Overall, Chile now account for a 21 per cent share of the Chinese fruit market up from 7 per cent nine years ago.
Thailand was in second place with US$1.15bn, followed by Vietnam with US$635m.
Chile eclipsed other Southern Hemisphere suppliers such as New Zealand (US$33m), Australia (US$225m), Peru (US$175m) and South Africa (US$162m).
Cherries led the export charge for the fifth consecutive year, with shipments totalling US$648m, or 54 per cent of fruit exports by value. Grapes were in second place with sales of US$282m, followed by plums (US$79m) and blueberries (US$77m).
"Since the free trade agreement came into effect on 1 October 2006, our trade with China has been steadily increasing and in 2015 it became our biggest trading partner, a position that we maintained last year," said Alejandro Buvinic, director of ProChile.
He also highlighted the 125 promotional activities that the association organised in China last year with had a strong focus on food.
"Conditions in China offer a tremendous window of opportunity, both in large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, as well as in emerging markets like Guangdong, Shandong, Henan and Sichuan, the country's four most populous regions," Buvinic continued.
Avocados were among the fastest growing product, with shipments totalling US$36m compared with US$7m in 2015.
"Chilean fruit stands out in the Chinese market," said Buvinic, "98 per cent of imported blueberries for example are from Chile, as well as eight out of 10 imported cherries and plums".
A total of 370 Chilean companies exported fruit to China last year compared with 68 firms in 2007.
Analysts predict that China will play an increasingly important role in global trade in the coming years if President Trump steps up US protectionism. Asked if this could have a negative impact on Chilean exports to the US, Buvinic noted that: "while it's too early to know whether this will affect us this year, we are nevertheless prepared to face this contingency".

"I am so happy that I found Jo and his shop! I had been going to a different shop, Hancock on Bloomingdale, but was quite unhappy with the service and the way they treated me (including gaslighting me - essentially telling me that I was hearing things, that there was no problem)."
"World Class Customer Service!!! Problems with vehicle explained and repair options given. Things done in a timely manner. Staff and service rival a 5 Star Hotel. Thank you for ALL your help. God Bless."
"Joe has the best service of any shop I have ever been to. He is honest and fair and will beat about anyones price. I have had my Cadillac and Envoy worked on there and both have been completed timely and correctly. I have told all of my friends about this shop...If they do not become a Franchise and expand in the next couple of years I would be surprised...other shops and dealerships could take a lesson from this shop and not worry about how much you can get out of a guy and instead focus on how to keep a customer for life."
"Great repair shop! Honest, dependable and reliable with fair pricing. I have had major and minor repair work done at St. Josephs and have always been happy with the service. Highly recommended!"
"Great experience being a women needing work done on my car.. Explained what was wrong before doing any work and only fixed what needed to be fixed.. Thanks for the honesty and great service.. I have already referred a friend..quality service from honest people.... Keep up the good work and God will continue to bless you and your business!!!"
"I have used St Joseph Auto in Brandon, FL for my personal vehicles as well as referred them to friends and family. They have always provided top notch service at a great price. Whether for a car, truck or van, they really know their stuff! I have always felt confident in their work and never felt like they were recommending unnecessary services or parts. The owner seems to work very hard to maintain a great reputation. I would highly recommend them!"
"St. Joseph's Automotive has given me wonderful service at a very fair price. Joe has gone beyond what is normally found in a repair shop to make sure my repairs were done properly and that I was pleased with the work. The mechanics working in the shop are experienced and knowledgeable. Above all else, St. Joseph's has always been honest and trustworthy with all of their recommendations, promises and work. I heartily recommend this repair shop to anyone living in the Brandon area."
"Jo and his mechanic Bill are the best! Jo is honest and fair. Bill is very knowledgeable and helpful. I will bring my truck for any repairs."
"Very good service & professional! Don't hesitate of bringing your car! Because Jo will take care of it!!!"
"Joseph & His Crew are the best, honest mech. in the Brandon area. They have did 2 major rebuilds on my previous Honda & Jetta... Joe & his lovely wife are very helpful & making our experience very delightful... brought another car & me & my wife will continue to use St. Josephs Automotive services for a long time... thanx to Joe & his crew."
"This was my second visit (Nov. 25, 2013) to Jo's place. I had the timing belt, water pump, valve cover gaskets, and belts replaced on my 2001 Nissan Frontier. His prices are slightly below other shops (good thing) and the quality of work is spot on. I live in Tampa so the drive to drop off and then pickup is not fun, but I feel it's work the effort to go to a shop that will give you an honest estimate for repair/preventive work and do the job right the first time. Jo even replaced a few worn parts at no extra charge. A co-worker (Richie A.) took his truck there as well the week prior and he is very satisfied as well."
"I have had work done here several times and can say that this is one of the best shops in the area. They got the jobs done quickly and also for a very reasonable rate. The owner there, Jo, is also a very honest guy. He doesn't push any unnecessary work on you. Would definitely recommend this place to others."
"St. Josephs Automotive is an honest, dependable automotive repair shop. We all know this can be hard to find these days. I met Jo the owner in July of 2013. He was very friendly and professional. I've had a few repairs done on a couple of vehicles since July. His prices are very reasonable and his mechanics always did a great job in a timely fashion with state of the art equipment. I highly recommend St. Josephs Automotive to anyone looking for a good trustworthy auto repair shop!"
"I started having intermittent problems with the air conditioner in my 2001 Nissan truck in early 2010. Several shops tried to diagnosis the problem. We had a fan clutch changed in 1-2012, the AC high pressure hose was switched out in 11-2010, and the AC pressure cycling switch was replaced in 2-2012. The air never worked correctly for more than a day or so after any of these "fixes." I resolved myself to fact that the AC would work in that vehicle only when it wanted. I took another one of my vehicles to Leonard's (now St. Joseph's Automotive) in 11-2012 because of a coworker's recommendation. Leonard's fixed that car and I was pleased with their work. Fast-forward to 7-2013 -- I decided to give Leonard's a shot at the truck AC. This was going to be my "last" try. Since I live in Tampa and don't get over to Brandon that often, I was surprised to arrive at the shop to find Leonard's was sold and is now "St. Joseph's Automotive." I admit I was a little hesitant, but I gave them a shot at the air anyway. The guys at St. Joseph's Automotive correctly diagnosed the problem as a bad thermal control amplifier. So, finally, after 3 years intermittent air problems, I'm happy to report the AC has been working every day in my truck for the past month. It's Tampa in the summer, so you can image my wife and I are thrilled to be able to hop in the truck and know the air will turn on! Thank you Jo Arayil!"
"Great Service and Price, won't go any where else."
"Great service... on time & Honest! They give you an estimate and stand by it, Joe makes sure you are clear on what is to be done and when you pick up your vehicke he takes the time to review exactly what was done. Family run business who care about their customers. My husband was highly impressed and as he does work on our cars that says a lot!"
U guys r the best. Thank you
"The best auto repair shop in Brandon I should say . I have been bringing my vehicles here for the past three years. Jo always does an excellent job at a reasonable rate. You cant beat his price elsewhere."

The news. It strikes her
like the force of gail winds
during a hurricane season
she often sees never.
All is lost and he
along with it. She should
have known better. A smarter
woman would have. The old
dump rake needed fixing.
She had known better.
But when she learns of
the accident in their hay fields,
her hands never stop moving.
With one hand she firmly grasps
the one quart glass jar
and with the other, the wooden handle,
which she continues to crank.
Turn upon turn upon turn.
Not enough butter in the ice box,
she says, holding up
the container of milk cream.
She should have known
they needed more
for evening supper.

Lincoln County Animal Shelter selected as Hannaford Helps Reusable Bag Program Beneficiary
Lincoln County Animal Shelter of Edgecomb, a nonprofit committed to the care and adoptions of homeless animals across 25 mid coast rural towns in Maine, has been selected as a beneficiary of the Hannaford Helps Reusable Bag Program for the month of August.
This program has been designed to support local nonprofits like LCAS.

Morata to Chelsea done?
The move for Morata was stepped up again as Chelsea negotiated with Real for Danilo, although they will now lose the full-back to Manchester City, as the Brazilian player opted for their contract offer, rather than the one from the Blues. Chelsea are "close" to completing the signing of Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata despite links to Milan, say reports. In 26 games last season, he matched that total.

Losing your car keys is one of the major headaches that you can have, and more so if you urgently need to reach somewhere. It has also been seen that people often get their car key stuck inside the ignition and thus damaging it by force. This can lead to a hole in your wallet, and having a replacement key is the only wise decision keeping such a scenario in mind. Getting replacement keys beforehand will not only help you out in emergencies but will also save you a lot of time and money that goes into ordering another key from your dealer.
There is still some time for the day when smartphones will replace your car keys, but until then, follow the below given tips to stay out of trouble.
Show the Problem to a Locksmith
Car keys come mostly with a spare set, but it can happen that your spares get lost or damaged. People also sometimes forget where they keep their spare keys, which further complicates the matter in case you need them. If you don't have any spare key to show to the locksmith for getting a duplicate, he might give you a master key. But still, there are times when the locksmith needs to know the car brand and model to make a replacement key for it.
Transponder Type Keys? No Worries!
If you have transponder type car keys, then it can get a bit difficult to find spares, because car keys mostly are pre-programmed for a specific vehicle type.The locksmiths that specialize in automotive keys can easily bypass this. They can use a blank key to program it for the specific vehicle model. Getting this type of key might be costly, but it is way cheaper that buying one from your car dealer. An advantage is that you would get the new car keys immediately for use after programming, so you won't have to wait for your dealer till he sends the new car key.
Replacement for Keyless Remote Keys
It will be easier to get replacement keys if you have keyless remote keys or key fobs. Automotive locksmiths are equipped with replacement key fobs, which can be programmed for your specific vehicle type. Your automotive dealer can do the programming too, but an automotive locksmith can solve your problem much quicker.
Apart from key fobs and transponders, other types of keys too are coming in to the auto market. Many of these include smart keys, switchblades, and laser cut. These modern keys are made to prevent auto-theft. These keys are much more expensive than the regular car keys and can cost you anywhere between $100 to $200. You can get them directly from the dealers for a discounted price.

Some key points of the discussion:
- First fiber in will likely solidify their position as a monopoly provider. This has huge implications for competition, network architecture and regulation.
- The 50 homes in our project are peanuts for operators here in France. The key will be using this as a high-profile test case for the business model.
- This little project could help apply pressure on local candidates running for office next year. Hopefully we can make open-access fiber one of the main campaign issues at least in the village.
- The power of Web/Telco 2.0. This came up in two ways. First, it's so easy to make connections with other like-minded people with the interactive Internet of today. Second, and Benoît pointed this out, we're likely not long from the day where you can offer a complete third-party "triple-play" offer using Joost, Gmail and Skype.
I've also asked Benoît for help locating people with fiber expertise in the area. This is going to be really important because as interested as I am personally, I need to find someone who really knows installations here in France.

Peru's World Cup Fever Begins
Lima has been in the grip of football fever ever since it qualified for a play-off with New Zealand by drawing with Argentina and Colombia. First leg in Wellington was a goal-less draw despite Peru's footballing superiority but this week they put that right with a 2 - 0 win. They had to play both legs without Paolo Guerrero, their one star player, who failed a dope test in Brazil where he plays for Flamengo. It was like Argentina without Messi except that Guerrero's team mates did better than Messi's do when they are deprived of his services.
Such football fever is a rarity anywhere, even in Brazil in the days when they ruled the world. Thursday was declared a national holiday. How ill it be when they get to Russia? Apparently the crowds in the stadium and massed in the surrounding park where the match was being shown on big screens set off the earthquake sirens in the centre of town.
Actually, it is cheering that people here have something to be proud of and that brings society, one of the most economically divided in the world, together. It was a great achievement to qualify, ahead of the likes of Chile, Paraguay and Ecuador and without star players, other than Guerrero. It would be a tragedy if he were denied the opportunity to play in Russia. It was impressive to see his team mates dedicating their victory celebrations to him after the final whistle. Qualifying for Russia has been all down to team work, discipline and making the most of the talent they've got.
Peru played the first, away, leg with skill and discipline denying New Zealand possession and any real scoring opportunities while creating several of their own, only to be denied by the All-Whites outstanding goalkeeper, Marinovic. For the return leg, Peru's Argentine manager, Ricardo Gareca modified the improvised formation where Jefferson Farfan was brought in to the striker's position normally occupied by Paolo Guerrero. Instead his most creative player, Cristian Cuevas, and Farfan were given more wide ranging roles which paid off with the two goals, the first a thunderous strike by Farfan from a perfectly laid on pass from Cuevas who had the All Whites' best defender, Reid, going first one way then the other as he dribbled in from the left. The second goal came from an equally stunning strike from defender Cristian Ramos.
Again, Peru played as a team dominating the first half, as they had in Wellington, and stifling New Zealand's determined assault in the second, though the other outstanding figure was right back, Luis Advincula who barely mistimed a tackle over the two legs and whose anticipation enabled him to cut off his opponents' passes before they reached their destination.
The credit really should go to Ricardo Gareca, the Argentine manager. There's nothing flash about him and he's very reserved when talking to the press or being interviewed on tv. He doesn't come with an awesome CV either but Peru is lucky to have him after a string of failures.
In large measure that was down to corruption and incompetence in the Federation, as it is endemic in the country as a whole. It's certainly no coincidence that Peru's resurgence comes after the former president, Manuel Burga, who presided over a good part of the 36 years that Peru failed to qualify for the World Cup finals, was forced to resign when corruption charges were brought against him in the US along with a number of other former FIFA directors. Whether by coincidence or not, his first day in court came on the day Peru took to the field and booked its passage to Russia. His successor, Edwin Oviedo who took over in 2015, was instrumental in bringing Gareca in. It has not escaped people's notice that he has set about cleaning up and giving a sense of purpose to the sport in Peru, conspicuous in a country which in most other respects displays only rottenness and self interest at the top.

May 19, 2017 08:45 ET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - May 19, 2017) - In light of a decision to pull its application for approval of vosaroxin in the European Union, Sunesis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: SNSS) has designated its BTK inhibitor program targeting chronic lymphocytic leukemia as its new lead program.
Included in this article is: Sunesis Pharmaceuticals Inc.
In a May 1 research report, Wells Fargo expressed the view that SNS062, the Sunesis Pharmaceuticals Inc. drug in development for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that is resistant to Imbruvica (ibrutinib), is "a greater value driver for the stock."
The report notes that company resources directed toward gaining approval from the European Medicines Agency for vosaroxin, which targets acute myeloid leukemia, will now be directed toward a clinical trial for SNS062.
"We see significant upside potential on novel BTK inhibitor SNS062 in the large IMBRUVICA resistance market and with potential validation by YE17," the Wells Fargo report concludes.
In a May 10 report, Edison Investment Research states that Sunesis "will be initiating a Phase Ib/II clinical trial in Q217" for SNS062. The study is expected to read out in September 2018.

Words, The Complete Lyrics Volume 8: Su-Thev

softcover , 29.6 x 29.8 x 0.4 cm , 0.261 kg
Lyrics from Such A Night to The Vicious Circle
This is the eight volume of what pretends to be the ultimate collection of lyrics and the story behind them. The volumes now all together span some 250 pages, but the end is in sight: I expect two more volumes will be publised to cover all the remaining songs. The first volume was published in 1997, and the others were released irregularly the following years. Volume 8 was published in late 2003.
This volume has an interesting story about the song 'The Climb' (originally called 'The Slime'), which was released on the Follow That Dream release 'Viva Las Vegas'. The song 'The Mississippi River', also called 'The Tupelo Years' is listed as supposedly the one and only song ever written by Elvis himself.
Question arises why not publishing it all in one book? Well, every page has four columns of text in a small typesetting, which would lead to a vast 800 pages if published in one book and in normal typesetting.

I do love a Georgian drama, and Helen Dunmore has written a brilliant depiction of eighteenth century Bristol. Birdcage Walk is so authentic I could smell it. Dunmore's city is one where women have agency without being too modern and she weaves historical fact into a dark tale of a marriage that is dangerously controlling.
The year is 1792 and Lizzie Fawkes is barely more than a girl. Recently married to John Diner Tredevant, a property developer and widower in his thirties, their relationship is one of passion. This was not an arranged or forced marriage, rather Lizzie tells the reader several times how she longed to be with him and ignored her mother's advice to wait. It is only now, as he gradually becomes more controlling and demanding, that she wonders about his first wife, Lucie, and what really happened to her.
While Diner is concerned with making money from his most ambitious development, a terrace of fine houses overlooking the Gorge, Lizzie's family are radicals, busy writing their pamphlets and spreading word of the French Revolution. Their ideals are the very opposite of Diner's, and she defends him to them even as his scheme falters. In uncertain times, as the French bourgeoisie are being lead to the guillotine and there is talk of war, who will want to buy a fine mansion house? In turn, Diner sneers at the fanciful idea of women's rights that Lizzie's mother writes about, thinking of the radicals as clueless idealists.
The prelude of the novel is present day, a novice dog owner who likes to stroll along Birdcage Walk, a path that leads through a real graveyard in Clifton, Bristol, it's church gone after being bombed during the second world war. Helen Dunmore wrote an excellent piece in the Guardian on the inspiration for the novel, and also her recent cancer diagnosis. Legacy is an important theme of the book. Diner hopes that his grand terrace will outlive him. Lizzie's mother, Julia, writes pamphlets and is revered and reviled for what she publishes. These writings no longer survive, though in the present day her husband, Augustus, is still remembered a pamphleteer. Strange, when Lizzie tells us that it was Julia who wrote so compulsively, not her husband:
Hannah sniffed: her nose was red, with a drop hanging from it. 'It's rest she needs, not writing-boards.'
Sacrilege, coming from Hannah. Mammie's ideas flowed most clearly at night, with one lit candle to speed her pen while Augustus slept on beside her. There was nothing more important than that those ideas of hers should be captured and set down. Hannah had always arranged our days for that purpose. Our rooms were clean, our clothes washed and our food cooked, but even so Mammie needed the night for her work. She would wake with her mind suddenly, startlingly alive. She'd sit up in bed, reach for her writing-board, prop it against her knees, and seize on her thoughts before they vanished. Who would imagine, from the clarity of her treatises, that they sprang from a warm bed?
Birdcage Walk is a masterclass in how to write historical fiction well. Using fact and fiction in equal measure, this is an involving story with a satisfying conclusion.
