Time Critical!
- Maintain scab protection
- Evaluate bloom and set for early thinning decisions
It's Wet and Bloom
The rain and fog have kept at it for going on five days. After today (May 6, 1998) there may be a little relief for most of state tomorrow, and for the next few days, though showers are still in the forecast.
Bloom has progressed quickly. It hasn't been especially cool (high 50's and 60's) so tree growth has kept going during bloom. Apple and other fruit development is generally about 2 weeks earlier than usual at present.
McIntosh growth stages for various
- Hawley tight cluster
- Ashfield bloom
- Belchertown early petal fall
- Northboro late bloom
- Sterling late bloom
- Wilbraham petal fall
Scab Summary
There have been very few infection periods at the HRC this year. Two, both rated as "low risk", to be exact. Looking at abandoned trees, a few scab lesions can be found, but certainly not many. It appears that we have largely escaped the early-season pressure seen further south. That is, unless "mistakes were made". There is one report of scab in a commercial orchard with a history of scab.
This past week the situation got a lot worse. The scab pressure has been extremely high. First of all, inoculum levels have peaked. There's plenty of "soft", susceptible foliage. And of course, it has been rainy and foggy.
Fungicide use gets extremely complicated right now, with extended wetting and bloom at the same time. Here are some of the issues.
The prolonged rain releases scab spores, and gives them plenty of time to infect. The relative warm temperatures, in the 50's and 60's, keep the spores maturing and releasing. At the same time, the rain is washing fungicide from leaves. And the trees keep right on growing, outstripping the protective layer of fungicide. So, by mid-bloom, 5 days or so from the last fungicide application, fungicide protection is weak to gone.
One option is to hope that an SI fungicide can be applied at petal fall, and that petal fall will come within 10 days of the last fungicide application. With this approach, remember to use at least TWO SI applications after petal fall. Also apply a contact fungicide with the SI to maintain fruit protection.
A second option is to apply a protectant fungicide of some sort during bloom. Putting on anything during bloom isn't very popular, particularly since the fungicide can't be mixed with an insecticide. Most years a bloom fungicide is not necessary. This year may be an exception. This year, consider it if you are not going to use two SI applications following petal fall.
Captan offers the most effective broad-spectrum management of scab right now. (Take a look at last week's article on scab.) But captan use is complicated by oil, which may go on with Agri-Mek. Is there a phytotoxicity problem? The general safety guidelines say "do not use captan within 10 days of an oil application". However, there are several reasons to consider shortening that interval to 7 days or even a little less. First, the amount of oil applied with Agri-Mek at petal fall is only a quart, compared to the 1 to 2 gal. applied earlier in the season. Temperatures are more moderate than they are earlier in the year (hopefully). And good scab control can be gotten even if the rate of captan 50 is cut back to 1 lb./100 gal.
The EBDC fungicides offer good scab protection, though they should be used at full rates to get the most benefit. They don't have oil problems, but they may interfere with mite biocontrol. This year, with all the wet weather, if you are using oil, an application of EBDC at petal fall, or even 2 applications at bloom and petal, will probably have minimal effect on mite predators.
An SI fungicide alone is not a good idea. At petal fall, it becomes a worse idea. Issues of resistance and activity spectrum aside, SIs don't protect fruit as well as foliage, and may lead to a situation where leaves don't get infected but fruit do.
This is a high-risk period for scab. If captan isn't an option, EBDCs are the next best one. If you can't see spending all that time on a single fungicide application, but are still worried that protection isn't adequate, consider an alternate row application.
Fire Blight Problems?
In the past, the only real option for predicting fire blight was the Univ. of Maryland/USDA model, Maryblyt. This has generally worked well. It has been used almost exclusively as a computer program, and a number of people who might find it useful have not tried to use it. More recently Tim Smith in Washington state has been working on a model for fire blight in the Northwest. It uses a combination of inoculum risk, and potential for bacterial build-up and infection in bloom. Last year, this model showed promise in Maine. It doesn't require a computer, but simply a record of high and low daily temperatures during bloom.
By Maryblyt's estimation, we have had moderate risk of fireblight, starting over the last weekend in many areas. On the other hand, the Washington model rates the risk of fire blight as low. Maryblyt assumes a relatively uniform population of bacteria at the beginning of the season, and estimates the inoculum build-up before bloom. This year, Maryblyt estimated that the bacterial population was high going into bloom. The Washington model estimates inoculum using the history of fire blight in the vicinity of the orchard being evaluated, and ignores build-up prior to bloom. It says that temperatures during bloom so far have been too low to cause fire blight problems. Take your choice.
Streptomycin applications are most effective if applied just before or within 24 hours of high to extreme infection risk. That's why we have models to estimate risk.
European Red Mites
Hatch of overwintering red mite eggs has been seen in all areas of the state. However, nymphal levels remain fairly low, suggesting that early-season oil and prebloom miticide routines have been fairly successful thus far.
The availability of Pyramite as a mid-season rescue material should not carry with it a false sense of security. Maintaining early-season mite control is critical in keeping summer populations at bay, as numbers of mites can increase exponentially through the growing season. In general, a single oil application will kill 60-70% of overwintering eggs and a double oil program will kill 90-95%.
Without regard to the early-season management program used, we encourage growers to monitor for mite population buildup on a weekly basis. With such monitoring, we recommend the following treatment thresholds, developed in New York and intended for use in deciding when treatment is warranted, beginning at petal fall.
* Take middle-age fruit cluster leaves
** Take middle-age leaves from anywhere
Plum Curculio Efforts
This year is the second of a major effort across the state to monitor the buildup of plum curculio populations. The study involves the use of black pyramid traps intended to intercept PC moving towards tree trunks and cylindrical twig-mimic traps intended to monitor PC population levels within the tree canopy. At each monitored site, trap captures and fruit damage will be assessed every 3-4 days.
Thus far, in three monitored orchards at 25-50% petal fall (5/5), low numbers of PC have been captured in the black pyramid traps, as immigration has likely been inspired by the relatively warm, calm, humid evenings of this past week (5/1-5/5). Given that the curculios are stirring in the hedgerows, movement into orchards will begin in earnest when the temperature exceeds 70o for a couple of consecutive days.
From year to year, there is no substitute for each grower monitoring PC hotspots on a daily basis: examining fruit for signs of feeding and egglaying. King fruit are likely to receive the earliest injury, and growers should be prepared to move into action soon after petal fall.
Petal Fall OP Sprays
There are two basic approaches to the first application of pesticide against plum curculio, border row and whole-orchard spraying. Unfortunately, there is no sure-fire way to decide which will be the most efficient. In general, if the weather is conducive to high levels of PC activity (2-3 days above 70o or 2 days above 80o) then a whole orchard spray is probably in order. If the weather after the first detection of PC feeding or egglaying in the orchard is cooler, then the invasion is slower and a border row spray is probably sufficient. In deciding which strategy to employ, another important consideration is the presence and activity of tarnished plant bug and European apple sawfly.
Although TPB have been a no-show in most orchards this year, other parts of New England have seen moderate populations developing over the past couple of weeks. As reported in last week's issue of Healthy Fruit, TPB can stay active in the orchard through bloom, and damage during this time can be significant. Plant bug monitoring traps are not a good indicator of activity during bloom, so growers who traditionally have high TPB populations should inspect blossom clusters through bloom to monitor for increases in TPB damage. The window of opportunity is currently open for sawfly activity as well, as most varieties in most areas of the state are between early bloom and early petal fall. Thus far, no monitored orchards have exceeded thresholds for a treatment specific to EAS, and the petal fall PC application will likely take care of the EAS that are present.
Leafminer adults have continued to build on red sticky trunk traps. Despite the wet weather during bloom, first-generation egglaying is apparent on blossom cluster leaves. Research over the past 20 years has shown that LM populations can increase 7 times from first to second generation. Given this, growers who are seeing trap captures exceeding threshold levels would do well to consider a petal fall application of either Provado or Agrimek.

Humans have memory triggers that set off very strong recollections of past experiences. A memory trigger can be a sound, a particular scent, or something you see that flashes you back into your past. These triggers cause you to relive long ago times so intensely, nothing else exists but the moment you are reliving. Memories relived so strongly, so vividly, you feel the same feelings you felt when the memory was born.
Our dog digs the rugs with her nails to get it "just right" so that she can walk in a circle to the "right" angle and plop down to sleep on the rug. Periodically I notice the fur balls gathering on the rug and think of what Grandma might mumble. The right thing to do would be to shave those fur balls. So I get my sharp razor blade out and spend about twenty minutes shaving these one by one. I eventually have to put a bandaid on when I'm done but the rugs look brand new.
"Smell is the most powerful trigger to the memory there is. A certain flower or a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer has no texture, no context. It's there and then it's gone. If it's to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be... smelly." This is so true, to this day I love the smell of pulp from the local paper mill and fresh cow manure. I can't stand pig, horse, or turkey manure but don't mind the manure smell from a holstein. The smell of both remind me of my childhood. I'm looking forward to being a grandmother someday but am in no big hurry. I'll pass on the traditions of pedicures, day lilies, no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies and sweaters. I hope to pass on some of my own like the fresh smell of herbs, the garden and love of watching birds.
All I know now is that my sons think I'm weird. My oldest son told me this week, "Mom you're weird, some mothers do yoga, and it's ok don't get me wrong but you blog, love birds and love basketball. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings but I don't know anyone that's like you." I smiled and didn't take it personally. I thought it was great. I don't want to be like anyone else. If my grandmothers were like everyone else my brain wouldn't have been triggered by these wonderful memories.
The two offices of memory are collection and distribution.

With Camp Nou closed to fans due to clashes between protesters and police in Barcelona over the Catalan independence referendum, Barcelona defeated Las Palmas 3-0 on the strength of two second-half Messi strikes.
The brace meant Messi is now La Liga's top scorer, and has a career-best 11 goals after seven La Liga matchdays.
Messi's previous best total after seven La Liga matchdays was 10 in the 2011-12 campaign.
With Neymar sold to PSG, Luis Suarez injured and out of form and new signing Ousmane Dembele a long-term injury absence, Messi has been forced to take on more of the scoring burden for the Catalans this term.
The 30-year-old's double also brought his total for the calendar year to 45 goals in all competitions, at least 14 more than any other La Liga player. THINK YOUR FRIEND WOULD BE INTRESTED?

In cases where there is not yet a clear model, or where the environment is too complex and changing too fast for the model of practice ever to be fixed, developmental evaluators can be of great assistance by helping people articulate their hunches and hopes, do "vision-directed reality testing," tracking emergent and changing realities, and "feeding back meaningful findings in real time so that reality testing facilitates and supports the dynamics of innovation. Instead of evaluating a program to determine whether resources are being spent on what they're supposed to be spent on, developmental evaluation helps answer questions like, "Are we walking the talk?

This trend presents a challenge to healthcare providers and facilities striving to provide dignified care that is effective and safe both for the patient and the provider. Many bariatric patients, due to their size and difficulty with mobility, require assistance with numerous activities of daily living. The more mobility-dependent the patient is, the greater the risk for injury for those providing the care. The additional myriad of bariatric patients' co-morbidities makes these patients especially vulnerable for health complications during their hospital stay.

What comes after high-heels?
Izzie with her dress-up shoes... and apparently she needs a quad stroller, she's managed to stuff 2 teddies and 2 Elmos in her stroller. I think that exceeds the safety limits of the device?
Maddie with her dress up shoes.
Yesterday I stopped by Kid-to-Kid a used kids toy and clothing shop. Right in the entrance was a pile of dress up shoes for a buck each. I thought, why not? They love dress up. They do have a little heel on them, so that worried me a bit, but they love clonking around in my shoes, so I figured if they could manage those, then they could probably manage these.
Well they love them. Maddie especially, but dress-up seems to be her forte lately. The only problem is that they are slick on our linoleum, so I've got to figure out a way to scuff up the plastic. (You would think a child's dress up shoe wouldn't be slick!?!) Anyway, the girls are clonking around the house in their pretty shoes this morning.

Scuff 'em up with sand paper or put a piece of duct tape on the bottom. I used to have to do that to your stride-rite walkers.
They look sooooo cute! Chris came home pouting last night cause you put them to bed early and he didn't get any twin-time.

The girls and I were chatting about the baby coming and the days following her birth. How long it might take to have the baby, - will she be here by lunch or will it be dinner? Visiting the hospital and their plans for the weekend. They asked if you can die while having a baby - it can happen but rarely in modern hospitals. They find the idea of the spectacle of milk coming in particularly funny.
They are most impressed with two days of breakfast in bed while in the hospital. Their conclusion was it sounds as if I am going to a hotel for the weekend. Not exactly my darlings, not exactly!

News and views from the German-language region of Europe
Trip to Suriname, Day 1
|[with comments] Filed under UCG-Holland
After a train delay of some two hours, I made it to the Netherlands for tomorrow's flight to Suriname.
Originally I wanted to come over to the Amsterdam airport on the day of the flight, tomorrow. But since we have to check in at 9 a.m. (the flight is at 11 a.m.), there is no train connection early enough in the morning to get me to Schiphol airport by 9 a.m. So Marcos Rosales and I decided I would come today and spend the night in Gouda, which is where he lives. For the high-speed train connections between Germany and the Netherlands and France they use two different trains. Apparently the trains that run in Germany and the Netherlands will not work properly in France. However, they used the wrong train on today's trip. Instead of it being a train that normally goes to the Netherlands, it was one that goes to France. So our trip ended at the Dutch-German border. From there the passengers were transported by bus to Arnhem in the Netherlands, where everyone was able to get on another train to Utrecht. So the EU is still working on getting unified, it seems.
I made it to Gouda at 10:30 p.m. and Marcos picked me up at the station. Tomorrow we leave at 7:30 a.m. for the airport.
Comment from Rainer and Margit Barth:
Dear Paul and Marcos, we wish a good flight and God bless your trip to the brethren in Suriname!

Why feminisim and being anti-war intersect so fiercely...
In addition to losing their children, or their own fathers or brothers, they may also lose their children's fathers, leaving them to explain it in some way, that will allow them to preserve whatever might be left of their children's own innocence.
In some wars, women's and girls' own bodies have been used as repositories for acts of ethnic cleansing, making rape, finally, an act of war or terror, and punishable as a war crime. In other wars, women and girls are raped and tortured-- if not to gain some sort of "actionable intelligence"-- then merely for sport or as an outlet for soldiers' rage.
Knowing these things, perhaps you, too, feel as utterly outraged as I do that rightwing ranters, who still feel entitled to support this misbegotten war in Iraq, feel equally entitled to mock the women of CodePink and their supporters during their Fast opposing the war, just because it does not fit all of their (the right-wingers') parameters of what constitutes a proper Fast! They mock them because they can. Because they are mocking women (mostly), who are unprotected by humvees, flack jackets, and automatic rifles, and "armed" only with their uteruses (and their minds and hearts?) to distinguish them from the war mongerers. (Yes, I know there are some right-wing women who support the war-- and I ascribe that enigma to a dominant Athena archetype in their personalities.)
What I really want to know is whether the under-documented, but well-anecdoted, cases of innocent civilians, especially those including women and girls being raped, tortured and murdered will allow this same war to fall within their own parameters of a well-thought-out and -executed war? Just wondering...
However, given the lack of coverage of the real Iraq in the MSM, perhaps one should give the War's supporters the benefit of the doubt, in case such ranters are not aware of the "situation on the ground" as it is now for most Iraqi women. If so, and if you know any, you might invite them to read some of the following...
In spite of rape being vastly under-reported in Iraq, reports of horrific abuse are beginning to accumulate, and are listed and summarized in this report on "Sexual Terrorism and Iraqi Women," by Ruth Rosen (author of The World Split Open) on TomDispatch.com.
Mostly likely the war-supporting ranters were/are aware of the story of the young Iraqi girl/woman who was raped, murdered, her body burned, and her family slain, but still consider such an outrage to be a rare occurrence. Perhaps it was, since her family was slain, too. However Rosen's writings, as well as other sources cited just prior to her article indicate that the problem is much more wide-spread, but vastly underreported. Underreported, because these rapes occur in a culture where the shame of rape attaches itself, not to the perpetrator, but to the woman, often resulting in honor killings, not just of the perpetrator, but often of the woman (or girl!) herself.
Tom Englehardt also links to the most recent post by Riverbend, a young Iraqi woman blogging from Baghdad. Who can even begin to comprehend what that must be like? Riverbend's eloquent prose explains it to us, including these two paragraphs:
Imagine your 14-year-old sister or your 14-year-old daughter. Imagine her being gang-raped by a group of psychopaths and then the girl was killed and her body burned to cover up the rape. Finally, her parents and her five-year-old sister were also killed. Hail the American heroes... Raise your heads high supporters of the 'liberation' - your troops have made you proud today. I don't believe the troops should be tried in American courts. I believe they should be handed over to the people in the area and only then will justice be properly served. And our ass of a PM, Nouri Al-Maliki, is requesting an 'independent investigation', ensconced safely in his American guarded compound because it wasn't his daughter or sister who was raped, probably tortured and killed. His family is abroad safe from the hands of furious Iraqis and psychotic American troops.I know what my own rage feels like when I read of these atrocities... to think that this is being done in our names! (We need to invent new punctuation just for this outrage about war) How much more rage is it possible for a human to feel? Perhaps it's now ironic that I am opposed to the death penalty, for I would, under similar circumstances, undoubtedly feel as she does: hand them over to the locals.
It fills me with rage to hear about it and read about it. The pity I once had for foreign troops in Iraq is gone. It's been eradicated by the atrocities in Abu Ghraib, the deaths in Haditha and the latest news of rapes and killings. I look at them in their armored vehicles and to be honest- I can't bring myself to care whether they are 19 or 39. I can't bring myself to care if they make it back home alive. I can't bring myself to care anymore about the wife or parents or children they left behind. I can't bring myself to care because it's difficult to see beyond the horrors. I look at them and wonder just how many innocents they killed and how many more they'll kill before they go home. How many more young Iraqi girls will they rape?
The problem is that those who really should be handed over to the locals are safely ensconced in Washington, where they have plenty of air conditioning to buffer them from the heat, and even the necessary equipment to rescue themselves and their surroundings when there is something as unusual as a flood, and plenty of electricity-- day and night-- as well as potable water, fuel for their cars, and relative security to go about their business each day, rather than hunkering down in their homes, unable to leave for fear of being kidnapped, raped, murdered. Yet, they are the ones who have brought down this fate upon tens of thousands (or more?) of Iraqi people, especially women. So much for the much-lauded "liberation" of Iraqi women, who were already leading more secular lives than the rest of their Islam-dominated sisters.
It is a small comfort, but it is something, that at least one member of Congress feels similarly. Rep. Jim McDermott, writing at the Huffington Post, makes an excellent case for Bush's keeping Rumsfeld instead of accepting his resignation... but transferring him to Baghdad. For the duration.
Great idea, but I think there a number of others who should be required to go with Rumsfield, which brings up a technical point: Does Congress have the power to send Bush to Iraq, as well, as a condition of approving any additional funding? Again, just wondering... After all, he is the Commander-in-Chief, or as he prefers to call himself: the Decider. Shouldn't the Decider also be present?
* Pretty ironic, isn't it, when you consider the numbers of self-righteous, right-wing men who would deny a woman the right to choose whether she wants to continue a pregnancy? To put it in their own terms: How can they know whether her "means & ends" equations are any less valid than their own?

Baby Boy's hair had started to get a little crazy over his ears, so I found a children's hair salon a couple of miles from our apartment. A few hours after my parents landed, we took Baby Boy to get his first haircut. We signed up for the full "Baby's 1st Haircut" with the certificate and saved hair, but when we arrived, the woman said he didn't really need a full haircut. She just trimmed above his ears, charged us a quarter of the cost, and told us we could come back for the full deal when he has more hair.
It started out surprisingly well. He sat still for a 12.5 month old, but then someone started cleaning with a vacuum. It went downhill fast after that. She was a huge pro and finished up fast.
I think his haircut makes him look older, but he looks adorable (as always)!

|First two blocks of a scrappy tree quilt.
Since I was sewing, I decided to make something I've needed but never remembered until I needed it:
|Scrap batting and scrap strips, along with extra ribbon from favors from our wedding last year.
Yay! Small projects like that needle case are so satisfying... there's the satisfaction of finishing something, and of that something being immediately useful.
I guess the only downside of what I've been working on tonight is that the trees make another WIP... but, I think at least as a flimsy they will go quickly, and since Christmas is approaching, I will be motivated to work on them. Perhaps I will make them the reward blocks to work on while I make my brother's T-shirt quilt...
Back to sewing!

I called Matt Lodder - the Cary Cycle Surgeon http://carycyclesurgeon.com/Home.shtml and made an appointment for today. Matt did a great job fitting me for my road bike back in February and is a wealth of knowledge about "all things Bikes". I had absolutely no hesitation going back again for this one.
Fitting for a tri or time trial bike, where you (in theory at least) spend all of your time in a more aggressive "aero" position is a little different to being fitted for a road bike with a completely different frame geometry (this is 58 cm frame), but one thing that hasn't changed much this year though, is me! I may have lost a few pounds and, hopefully, gained a little flexibility, but my "vital statistics" are basically the same, so this gave Matt a good head start over my last fitting, where he started by taking all sorts of body measurements and making me do all sorts of exercises on the floor!
After reviewing my (loose) goals and objectives for next year we got to work. Here's The Slut set-up on the trainer in Matt's workshop and ready to go, with Matt about to make some starting adjustments.
First thing to look at was saddle height. I knew that we had to take a litttle off the length of the seatpost based on a few quick test rides that I have taken. Carbon framed tri bikes don't have "round" tubes, so there isn't limitless ability to simply slide the seat post up and down. Soon enough I was holding my breath a little as Matt was cutting the seat post with a hacksaw blade specifically designed to cut carbon.
I'll spare you all of the details, but to cut a long story short, we spent the next 90 minutes playing with all sorts of adjustments and fine tuning until we had things right. The seat was moved back on the seat post so as to create the correct relationship between my knee and the bottom bracket; as a result the handlebar stem was shortened slightly (we might add back to this a little over time); the aerobars were adjusted and so on.
Here's the result... as you can see, I don't have the flexibility to ride in a very "flat back" position - I'm quite "rounded" (OK, OK, I'm a freakin' hunchback!), but then again, so was Lance Armstrong relatively speaking and he seemed to manage OK! There's a 6 cm drop from saddle to bars, which I guess is "respectable" for an old geezer like me.
|Please note that that isn't my gut - it's a baggy tee shirt!
I can't wait to get The Slut out on the road and put her through her paces!


text: Well so much for this blog holding me accountable. I started it a few months ago in hopes that I would be more intent in having a quiet time and sharing my thoughts with others. But time and others things got in my way. I can say I had a busy few months with two weddings (including my own) and moving, but aren't we all busy? Of course, but what a relief that God is never too busy for us! As I was reading in Romans this morning, I realized that not only will others hold me accountable, but more importantly, God will hold me accountable for actions (or lack of them) and deeds. Romans 14:12-13 also made me stop and look at myself. Even though I depend on others, or things of this world to make me do "what is right", I shouldn't depend on others, or things of this world. Makes sense? Well I guess we can have it both ways. However I need to remember that while I can turn to others for encouragement, and accountability, the responsibility lies with me and me alone. Jesus used the fellowship of his disciples for comfort and companionship at times, but he didn't depend on them to help him have a personal relationship with His Father. That was his desire and need. I hope that I can begin, continue, and live a life of accountability before Him on my own and in the company of follow believers

The USC School of Cinematic Arts will partner with Celestial Pictures in December 2014 and January 2015 to present 7 feature films from the Shaw Brothers
catalog. They have films available on DigiBeta and DVD, and are interested in finding other venues across the U.S. that might be interested in booking
their titles across the next year, and to help them out, I wanted to share some information with everyone:
Celestial Pictures owns the Shaw Brothers film library, the world's
largest Chinese film collection, with over 760 feature films originally
released over
half a century's time frame. The library has inspired countless
filmmakers with its vast pool of classics including "Five Deadly
Venoms," "Hex," "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin," " One-Armed Swordsman," "King Boxer"
and "The Flying Guillotine." These award-winning Shaw Brothers films
have been
digitally restored frame-by-frame, and distributed in cinemas and on
home video, television, and new media markets worldwide.
Celestial Pictures is eagerly looking for the right partners to arrange Shaw Brothers Film Festivals so as to introduce our classic collection to more US
audiences especial to youth markets. In the past few years, we have been partnered up with numerous institutions and organizations including University of
Chicago, University of Michigan, Cinefamily and New York Asian Film Festival, and we hope to extend our path further by collaborating with new partners
around the States.
To contact Celestial Pictures directly about their library and possible collaborations, please be in touch with Josephine Ng:

I am lucky to be joined by Glenn Muller from Ontario, Canada. Author of Torque, a crime thriller novel, Glenn traversed the self-published path to publication, and assures us that just because it has the word 'self' or 'independent' in it, independent publishing does not mean you do not have to do it alone with his introduction to self-publishing.
We Are Not Alone.
Old notions die hard, and the one that self-publishing and vanity presses are two sides of the same coin lingers on. Yet writers have known for some time that digital technology has created a paradigm shift in the publishing industry, and those willing to embrace the new tools have found success away from the traditional path to publication.
Most authors like to work alone but the smart ones realize that, at some point, they will need help with their masterpiece. This point has always been the fork in the road between the traditional publisher and the vanity press; authors fortunate enough to attract the attention of an agent, editor, or publishing house would benefit from professional resources while the rest would have to send their best package to a printing house, pay for a trunk load of copies, and rely on family and friends to buy a product that often lacked professional polish.
That fork is still in the road but, thanks to the Internet, another path called self-publication has appeared that gives authors easy access to a range of editors, cover artists, proof-readers, publicists, reviewers, and readers. Having successfully traveled that path, I can confidently say that we are no longer alone in our endeavours.
Self-publishing is not solo-publishing; it is a route to publication where the author maintains the most control over the book they have worked so hard to create. Although numerous pages could be written on the pros and cons of self vs traditional publishing, this article is about the support available to DIY writers. Similar to company directors, these authors hand-pick the people they'd like to work with and there is no limit to the number of people they may ask to join their team.
Once a writer has wrestled their scribbling into reasonably cohesive chapters, it is time for another opinion. While family and friends may be willing to help, it is too early in the game for them – you need more qualified eyes, and for that I suggest a writer's forum where you can post some or all of your book for others to read and make suggestions for improvement. You can make some excellent friends and contacts, here, and if you play your cards right (return the favour), you can get some or all of your previewed work edited for free. If the work needs a deeper massage, editors for hire are just a click away.
After heeding the editorial comments and polishing your work, the next phase is publication. The e-book publisher and distributor, Smashwords, has an excellent free tutorial on how to format your manuscript for e-book publication, and their simple to use software makes it easy to attain a professional appearance. If you are not able to create your own cover art, there are plenty of graphic artists willing to help at very reasonable cost. For physical books, CreateSpace is another free resource with plenty of support available.
Once you have your manuscript formatted, there are many online retailers – Smashwords, Kobo, Amazon, iBooks, Barnes & Noble, etc. – who will not charge for distributing your book; they just take a percentage from each sale and send you royalty cheques.
Then comes the final, and some say the toughest, phase. Marketing. While traditional publishers will have a budget for promoting a book, it is still up to the author to do most of the legwork. This is where family and all of your friends, old and new, come into play. You can pay for publicity in various forms, but the best promotion is word of mouth and, here, social media rules. By now, you will have made friends with many other writers, editors, etc. and by promoting each other's work through media like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, the self-published author effectively expands their potential audience.
So, the next time you see a book labeled as "self-published" keep in mind that the author not only worked extremely hard to bring it to life, but did so with support from a network of skilled and motivated people. We are passionate about what we do, and we are not alone.
For more from Glenn, check out Torque.
After nine years on the road, driving instructor Chas Fenn knows how to avoid accidental death - it's the intentional kind that gives him trouble. The intentional kind is the seductive Brittany Reis who plans to carve a niche in the street drug trade with a new hallucinogen. When her lab technician suddenly dies, Reis is forced to partner with an aging con man who sees the opportunity as a last chance for a big payoff.

Avengers #22 - Cover
2 comments:
I love this cover! Stan's caption is at such odds with Jack's image- Cap's sensational battle? Rather "See Caprtain America give Powerman his lunch money." Surely Jack's most uncharacteristic Cap pose.
The previous issue where the Swordsman throws Cap off a building is my favourite Kirby/Wood cover, but this is gorgeous.
- 2:37 a.m.
SEE CAP COWER IN FEAR AGAINST THE UNSTOPABBLE POWER MAN! That copy would have fit the picture!
This is a nice cover that would have been better without the added pics of the Avengers, but I guess Stan didn't think one Avenger on the cover would be enough (even though he was the most popular Avenger!)
I love the previous Kirby/Wood cover as well. I wish Wood had inked more Kirby, but Stan reportedly didn't like the combination!

I don't know what to write about... again. But I'm going to begin anyway because last time I stumbled upon the inspiration through writing.
So it's Tuesday. That means that I have Microeconomics, KRAM, and Nonprofit (blahhh). I'm ready to be done. I've already gone, really. My brain has been checked out for a while now. It's time for a break. I would really love to live in a simpler way. Not all this striving all the time to get things done. Productivity. Efficiency. Tired. Actually, I was just telling a girl on my hall the other day that I wouldn't mind being Amish. She was like, "uh, do you know what they believe?" Haha... it was a nice thought in the way back part of my head where I idealize things. It's bad but the busyness of our culture makes me want to check out from reality.
Also, I get a little irked whenever I ask anyone how they are and they list all the reasons why they're so freaking busy. I don't even like to hear myself say it. No, I especially don't like to hear myself say it. It's not that I'm really annoyed with that person, it's just dumb that we have to be so crazy. It's like those parents who sign their kids up for 15 different activities every year. I just want to ask them, "are you nuts?!" Kids like just chillin too.
Ok enough of that. I'm really not in the mood to complain. Long story short, I'm ready for summer. Summer is looking hopeful.

Simple, mild, manners really are one of life's little pleasures.
Before we moved to the Charente, we were warned by several acquaintances that the French have a knack for being rude, arrogant and not too well endowed in the manners department. We have yet to come across anyone who has fulfilled that stereotype and today I was reminded of how wrong these prejudices are.
Coming out of a DIY shop in Barbezieux, an old french gentleman (complete with beret and stripy jumper I'm delighted to add!) took the time to shake our hands and greet us with a "bonjour monsieur et dame" before carrying on with his shopping.
It struck us that wherever we have travelled in the Charente, people do actually take the time to say hello to each other. In bars, at the doctor's, in restaurants, we are always greeted with a smile and a "bonjour" or "bon soir", depending on the time of day.
My brother's friends (all of whom are teenage boys) make the effort to say hello to all of the female members of the family with the traditional kisses on the cheek and the menfolk with a hand shake. I can't imagine any of his English friends doing that. We were lucky to get them to look at us.
I realised that good manners are an excellent way of blagging your way into a new culture, and let's face it, they're easy to master in any language...

Before I do something horribly wrong... I am about to connect a SkyFi 3 to a Nexstar+ hand controller and I don't want to cause the end of the universe (if a butterfly flaps its wings and we get hurricanes, if I smoke a hand controller then the Large Hadron Collider is obviously going to swallow this universe! ... Not a slippery slope at all)
Do I use a standard USB 2.0 A Male to USB 2.0 Mini-B?
Or an On The Go (OTG) spec cable?
The Quick Start Guide doesn't talk about USB cables a whole lot (except for plugging into mounts with a B plug, with clarifications for iOptiron and Meade). But there is a lot of bold about things going badly is you get the connection wrong.

Here's Lydia at the Stingrays Hockey game! She had a good time :) We kept her out past her bedtime, but she had fun. She didn't start fussing until 2 minutes before the end of the game! By the time we got home, she was pooped and ready for bed.
Here's a short video of little Lydia. There's not much to it, but you can really see how much she has grown.
I've been working hard lately. Busy at work and trying to save energy for home. I did manage to clean the house today so that Lydia has some clean floors to crawl on! Gary has been working hard too - he's been doing his usual finagling with trucks and destinations and trying to get more work and fit it in! It's all worth it though :) Work to live, right?
There are many things that have happened this year. It's been quite the journey since Lydia was born. The closer we get to her birthday, the more mixed emotions I have. I'm excited to celebrate her coming so far. I'm also slowly letting go of some guilt, anxiety and worries about her development. So I'm not really sure how I'll feel once her birthday weekend rolls around. We're not sure what to do yet - I have a few ideas of places we can go and things that we can do to celebrate. I know we'll be thinking about being in the hospital and all the things that have happened. We'll be thinking about the scary NICU experience. We will celebrate that Lydia is beautiful and doing well. And we will be thankful that we're lucky. The strides she has made this year have saved me from a lifetime of guilt and burden...and for that I am thankful.

Okay, this was a first for me . . . I had to go to the grocery store this morning as we were running short of a couple of items. To make things a little easier for my sister, I took Annika with me. I would swear on a stack of Bibles that this account is the absolute truth - - she was perfect. Just perfect. On the way there she sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. In the store she just looked at things on either side of the aisle and smiled. It didn't surprise me that many people gave a double take when they looked at her. Her soft curls around her face are adorable. (I'm just a wee bit jealous.) Plus, she was so well behaved. As I said: PERFECT. Even in the check out line, she never reached for anything. And yes, for those of you who may be wondering, she was wide awake. My one regret is that I didn't take a picture of her in our cart. On the ride home she sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star again. Oh, one more thing along this subject - I am so proud of myself because I was able to work the complicated buckle on her car seat (it's like a 3-piece jigsaw puzzle).
When I got home, my sister told me Josiah was also perfect. No trouble at all. He's been playing so nicely with his toys.
Got to go. It's lunch time. :-)

Whatcha Readin' and Listenin' To Wednesday: November 12, 2008
I appreciate your response to this new feature. It's been great to see what's getting your attention, and it's given me a few ideas for future readings and listenings. Don't worry—this Wednesday thing will not supplant all other posts here; despite a crazy couple of weeks, I'll have a "traditional" rant post up later this week.
I've finally wrapped up Thomas Friedman's Hot, Flat, and Crowded. (Trust me, listening to a book read over 17 CDs is no easy feat.) A couple of books have had me spending ample time tiring my eyes, as you'll see below, but it's a musical highlight I'll share with you this week.
For more years than I care to count, I've admired and respected the music of Steve Hackett, so much so that I planned a trip to London a few years ago around the chance to see his triumphant acoustic concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
Hackett was the lead guitarist in Genesis back in the classic days of the band—when Peter Gabriel sang, before pop trumped progressive for the group's soul. His catalog since he left the band in 1977 has included some aural brilliance, including one of my featured CDs this week, Spectral Mornings (1979). The title track, in particular, is a moving instrumental piece that this week—like in many occasions before—brought tears to my ears upon a focused listen.
I don't care what flavor of music you enjoy the most—pop, rock, classical, metal, you name it—get this song from iTunes. Then grab a glass of your favorite wine, turn the lights down, breathe deeply, and bask in the pure emotion he brings out of his guitar.
The Road, Cormac McCarthy: I bought this a while back when it first came out in paperback. But I only just got around to reading it, spurred on by a blurb about the forthcoming movie adaptation, starring Viggo Mortensen. The last time I saw a movie without having read the book upon which it was based (The Golden Compass, based on Philip Pullman's Northern Lights) I vowed to read the book first. It's sparsely written and dark—it is McCarthy, after all—but hard to put down.
Death By Black Hole and Other Cosmic Quandaries, Neil deGrasse Tyson: The most publicity-savvy astronomer of our generation explores aspects of space and our place in it—including what would happen to you if you fell into a black hole. Often repetitive, but greatly entertaining.
Listening To:
Steve Hackett, Spectral Mornings
Finger Eleven, The Greyest of Blue Skies
Frameshift, Unweaving the Rainbow
Anthrax, Persistence of Time
Don Henley, Building the Perfect Beast
The Who, Who's Next

A couple of news stories that seem entirely unrelated caught my eye in the last day or so. In one of its increasingly-frequent moments of press-release-publishing vacuity, breakingnews.ie reports that... well, just read the headline.
It's nonsense, of course. The very words 'online survey' are enough to confirm that. The only distressing part of the story is that it seems that 67% of respondents took it seriously. But why is it nonsense? Why shouldn't we treat it seriously? The country has a long history of believing such things. In fact, in the introduction to his Book of Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry published a little over a hundred years ago, WB Yeats recounts his asking a Sligo man if he believed in fairies. "Sure, amn't I annoyed with them", was the answer.
Even today, such beliefs still exist, but for most people the belief is in a magic man who lived two thousand years ago rather than wee folk sitting on pots of gold. There is some hope, though.
The BBC is reporting that Ireland is one of nine countries in which religion will in time become extinct. One's first thought is, of course, that in time it should become extinct everywhere; we can only assume that they mean the relatively near future. Reading the paper they cited (pdf) was to a certain extent futile for one as lacking in erudition as I, but I was able to glean a certain amount from it; enough that I think they were being optimistic, but not overly so. Furthermore, in the specific case of Ireland, there are also other reasons for thinking that it might be a distinct possibility.
There's no doubt that the church has always been in a powerful position in Ireland, but it was really only with the advent of the Free State that they were directly able to affect policy (one thinks immediately of Dev and his relationship with Archbishop John Charles McQuaid). And although their behind-the-scenes power gradually decreased, it's really only since the turn of the millennium that they've seen their temporal -- not to mention moral -- authority diminish significantly.
And now we find ourselves in a position where Fianna Fáil, a party that's corrupt to its core, yet one that has ruled more or less continuously since the days of De Valera, has been eviscerated. Curiously, this was only peripherally related to their pernicious greed, and more to do with their staggering incompetence.
Could the church suffer a similar fate? It certainly deserves to. As more and more details of their atrocities come out, it becomes more and more obvious that any hand-wringing or mealy-mouthed apologies are intended only to save the church's position (or 'special position', as the constitution had it until 1972). If the details hadn't become so public via the church's many victims, would it have volunteered them? The can hardly be a single individual in the state who thinks it would.
And so, coupled with the appetite for change (genuine change, and not the vacuous change espoused by the former opposition), there's the distinct possibility that the rate of abandonment will accelerate. The generation currently in school could well be the last to grow up in a state where the church controls most primary and secondary education, where the church is seen as an arbiter of morality rather than a malevolent organisation dedicated to the protection of rapists, where the prevailing thought is "suffer little children to come unto me" rather than simply "suffer, little children".
All this is cold comfort, of course, to the church's thousands of victims. Enlightenment was always going to come at a price, but it's unlikely that even the most pessimistic expected it to be this high.

This One Direction song is all about Louis Tomlinson's breakup. Sob.
Louis Tomlinson has gone and broken a thousand hearts with his latest admission.
With just two days until the boys release the full album Made In The A.M, Louis has unveiled the band's track Love You Goodbye, and has all but confirmed it's about his split from Eleanor Calder.
It's about to get super emotional.
Talking in a video about the song, Louis said: 'It's the most personal to me. It was one of those moments that when this song was coming together you felt a real excitement about it. Just the idea of the song is interesting for me. Everyone has that time after a breakup where you have to see your ex again, it's kind of about that.'
Louis and Eleanor called time on their relationship after four years.
The lyrics include lines like 'I know you're saying you don't want to hurt me but maybe you should show a little mercy,' and 'My heart's already breaking baby twist the knife,' and 'One more tast of your lips just to bring me back/ to the places we've bene and the nights we've had.'
Oh Louis.
But it's not just the absolute sobfest of a song that's hitting Directioners hard. It's Louis' unbelievable high note he hits midway through the song.
Swoon over that high note here:
MORE: One Direction are performing in the Radio 1 Live Lounge and their fans can't handle it
MORE: 8 times Noel and Liam Gallagher couldn't stop bitching about One Direction

The state Publicity Secretary of the APC, Samuel Agbo, told newsmen yesterday that the said report was deliberately intended to incite the Benue workers and the electorate against the administration of Governor Samuel Ortom. "This strategy has become the trademark of the opposition since it lost favor with the people in 2015 and is desperate to return to power to continue with looting and plunder," Agbo said, urging members of the public to discountenance the allegation of planned sack of Benue workers as reportedly made by the PDP state official. "Areas for consideration for further reduction of the Benue State wage bill from the current N7.8 billion to N4.5 billion include disengagement of all contract staff, supervised table payment, placement of medical students on scholarship rather than salary, among others. From the forgoing, genuine workers on the payroll are under no threat whatsoever," Agbo explained.

Miss Lily has come down with a little bug/virus. She has had a low-ish temp, between 100 and 103, for the last 3 days, so Jason took her to see the Doctor just to make sure it wasn't an ear infection or anything. She checked out OK, just going to have to run its course. Jason said as they were walking through the parking garage to load up and come home Lily screamed out loud and then listened. Then she told Jason,
"Daddy, that's my echo it's bouncing off the walls." Can I take credit for this bit of genius, not really, unless you count turning on 'The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That'. They love that show...glad they are getting something out of it to.
We had a chill at home day for the most part. The EI ladies came over to go over their plans for Xander. He has been getting services for a year and a half now, and we are seeing HUGE improvements, but there is still room for more. So we are going to keep the help coming, though now it will go down from an hour a week to a half hour a week.
Big happy boy, you may not recognize it but that is Xander's 4th of July shirt he wore just before he turned 1...it is sized 12-18 month!
Jericho is getting better at sitting, next I think he will start to work on crawling :)
OJ, that cat is a glutton for punishment!
