Our story: Delivering a fresh take on grocery shopping for more than 35 years.
On a crisp North Carolina spring day, back in 1982, a new kind of grocery store was created. The founders took their life savings and put it all into their dream: a fresh take on grocery shopping. They wanted to bring back the old-world charm of the market and on March 5, they opened The Fresh Market for business.
Over the past 30 years we've made it our goal to set ourselves apart from the rest. Our founders wanted to create a space that focused on the value of supporting local growers and charities, while offering the freshest and most delicious foods possible. By providing our customers with a warm and inviting shopping experience, The Fresh Market is more than just a store – it's part of a community.
Today, with over 170 locations, we are still committed to those values, while providing the warmth of a friendly local market rather than an over-industrialized shopping experience. Following the tradition of our original Greensboro location, customers are always welcome with warm greetings and remarkable service. And just like that same store we still offer fresh foods with the highest quality at the best value.

California Governor vetoes budget bill but Amazon tax provisions still breathing
California Governor, Jerry Brown, has vetoed the state budget presented to him. However, ABX 128 , the affiliate nexus tax provisions that passed the legislature on June 16th, were not part of the veto.
The affiliate nexus bill (ABX1 28) expands the definition of "retailer engaged in business in this state" to include any retailer who enters into an agreement under which a person in California, for a commission or other consideration, directly or indirectly refers potential purchasers of tangible personal property to the retailer, whether by an Internet-based link, a website, or otherwise, provided that the retailer has total cumulative sales of tangible personal property to California purchasers in excess of $500,000 within the preceding 12 months.
This is a trailer bill to the vetoed budget, so it is still unclear whether or not this bill can advance to the governor.

June 15, 2012 — Stentys SA, a medical technology company commercializing the world's first and only self-apposing stent to treat acute myocardial infarction (AMI), announced that it has enrolled the first patient in its APPOSITION IV clinical study using its new self-apposing sirolimus-eluting stent. The randomized study will enroll 150 heart attack patients who will be treated with either the Stentys stent or Medtronic's resolute drug-eluting stent, and will compare stent apposition in both groups at four and nine months after treatment.
Conventional drug-eluting stents have shown a high rate of persistent malapposition several months after heart attack treatment. This malapposition can trigger stent re-clotting, recurrence of the heart attack and possible subsequent death years afterwards.
"Long-term malapposition of drug-eluting stents has been associated with late stent thrombosis, so this randomized trial with the new Stentys sirolimus-eluting self-apposing stent will be carefully followed by the community," said William Wijns, co-principal investigator of the study and chairman of EuroPCR.
"Following the excellent results from the APPOSITION III study, we are going to add the Sirolimus-eluting stent to our portfolio and combine the best stent platform with a proven drug from the limus family," said Gonzague Issenmann, CEO and co-founder of Stentys. "Cardiologists will have access to Stentys stents eluting the two compound families available on the market."
The Stentys self-apposing stent solves the stent-sizing dilemma that cardiologists are confronted with when treating heart attack patients with conventional stents. It "fits snugly" into the contour of a blood vessel, and its shape and diameter adapt as the vessel dilates and the initial clot dissolves during the post-AMI phase, eliminating malapposition and its major complications seen with all other conventional stents.

Poltergeist is one of my favorite genre films of all time and it was only a matter of time before I pulled one of my favorite scenes from this one. The film is smart, creepy and thrilling. Today, I'm happy to present a moment that isn't an obvious choice, but it's an important one.
The focus of Insert Scream Here is to look at some of my personal favorite moments in horror. I'm not talking about "scariest movie moments," but scenes that just stand out, maybe because of a performance or a terrific FX gag or a turn of events in the plot that is executed brilliantly. It could be something subtle or wildly over-the-top. Insert Scream Here is simply a culmination of horror movie moments I just love.

2015 State Equal Pay Legislation by the NumbersAugust 20, 2015
Get the latest:
Update, October 21, 2015: Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) signed Senate Bill 1 into law, expanding state equal pay laws to close loopholes employers currently use to defend unfair wage practices and increase the penalty for violating this law. It also prohibits employers from requiring workers to keep their pay rates secret.
Update, October 11, 2015: Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) vetoed two bills that would have further strengthened California's equal pay law, augmenting the newly enacted SB 358. The first state assembly bill (AB 1017) would have prohibited employers from asking about a potential hire's prior salary history, while the second (AB 1354) would have required contractors working in the state to comply with a pay nondiscrimination program.
Update, October 6, 2015: Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) signed SB 358 into law at the Rosie the Riveter/World War II National Historical Park surrounded by advocates, including the bill's sponsor, state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara), and AAUW of California members. With the signing of this legislation, California now has one of the strongest equal pay laws in the nation.
Update, August 20, 2015: Hours after this blog was published, Gov. Bruce Rauner (R-IL) signed House Bill 3619 into law, expanding state equal pay laws to cover more employers and increase penalties against second- and third-time offenders of pay discrimination.
As most of the 2015 state legislative sessions around the country draw to a close, four states are celebrating equal pay wins, with two more hoping that their governors sign on to the bills they passed. Meanwhile, two other states still have exciting equal pay legislation pending. Here's a brief recap of the action.
4 States Approve New Laws to Fight Gender Pay Discrimination
Four states passed much-needed reforms to their equal pay laws.
2 States Await Gubernatorial Signatures
As of mid-August, the Illinois and New York legislatures had passed equal pay bills that are still awaiting signatures from the states' governors.
2 States Still Working to Pass Equal Pay Legislation This Year
California and Massachusetts have longer legislative sessions, and several equal pay bills are still in play in these states.
If passed, these bills could help close the gender pay gap in new and useful ways.
California has a trio of equal pay bills moving through the legislature. All three have passed the first chamber as well as committee in the second chamber. Assembly Bill 1017 would prohibit employers from asking about a potential hire's prior salary history. If enacted, it would be the first state law of its kind. Assembly Bill 1354 would require contractors working in the state to comply with a pay nondiscrimination program. Finally, Senate Bill 358 would clarify employer defenses to pay discrimination claims and prohibit employers from discriminating or retaliating against employees who are involved in proceedings to enforce these protections.
Meanwhile, Massachusetts has two identical equal pay bills pending, both of which have passed committee in the first chamber. Massachusetts House Bill 1733 and Senate Bill 983 have many provisions similar to the bills pending in California, including prohibiting employers from discriminating against employees who are involved in proceedings to enforce equal pay protections and barring employers from asking about a potential hire's prior salary history. The Massachusetts bills would also require pay regulations to be posted in public work spaces and clarify employer defenses to claims. One unique feature of the Massachusetts bills is the establishment of a "rebuttable presumption" of innocence — meaning that if the employer has taken certain defined steps toward eliminating wage differentials based on gender, courts will presume that the employer is innocent unless contrary evidence is supplied. This provision would act as a carrot to incentivize employers to curb wage discrimination and close the pay gap in return for minimizing their potential for liability.
21 States Are Stalled
During the 2015 session, at least 21 other states proposed equal pay bills that were ultimately defeated.
AAUW is committed to helping members advance equal pay legislation in their states. An updated edition of our report, The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap, will be released in mid-September with new analysis of state equal pay laws. Look for other resources related to this topic as the 2016 legislative sessions approach.
This post was written by AAUW State Policy Analyst Kate Nielson.
Get the AAUW Policy Guide to Equal Pay in the States
Until a federal law, like the Paycheck Fairness Act is passed, each state will continue operating under antiquated regulations and piecemeal state and local laws to combat unequal pay.

I tried WinGate 7 (Beta3 and RC1) on Win7 Ultimate x32 German (and also on XP Pro German) and i choose 'Windows Users and Groups Connector'.
After that in the navigation bar only the main categories (Welcome, Monitoring, Web...) will be shown. So i can't check or change anything.
I tried also to choose 'WinGate user database', add Full Permissions for 'Everyone' to 'All objects' and change User database provider to 'Windows Users and Groups Connector'. After this, i have the same result: I can Logon with Administrator, but not Subitems in Navigation.
I think, the problem is the German version of windows; the Name of the Admin-Group is here 'Administratoren' (User Paradise, who used also a german version, had the same problem; see http://forum.wingate.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=40862)
I tried it als on XP Pro Englisch and here it works fine.
Another question: if i purchase a License for WG6 now, can this License be used for 7?


text: WC - I think its safe to say that when it comes to the Dragon Age games, Dragon Age 2 was a big disappointment compared to the original RPG masterpiece that was Dragon Age: Origins. Gone was the country-spanning scope of the first with its varied dungeons, customisable companion armour and real sense of danger that would see your entire party ripped apart by a Darkspawn ambush at any moment. Dragon Age 2 felt very much like a rush-job as the pressure was on to continue this great new IP that its predecessor had started and with the news that Dragon Age 3: Inquisition could be just under a year away, many are demanding about what needs to be fixed.

From Trace:
Wolf Cento
What do we leave, living?
Always the silence remains kneeling—
each letter a closed house.
& what comes after, looking back
on the mind itself, looking for home
as night drifts up like a little boat
or a pattern of small flowers.
There a screen of vertical timber,
trees fade over into fog
just as bodies flow
safe from the wolf's black jaw.

Staircase Manufacturing: What You Need to Know
A new staircase can enhance the overall look of your home. There are numerous decisions to be made when considering a new staircase for your home. The type of staircase, materials, and stains are just a few things you need to decide on. Here is some advice to ensure you obtain the best possible staircase for your home.
The staircases Liverpool materials are one of the most important aspects of the staircase. There are many different materials to choose from. The type of material can also change the overall look of the staircase. Glass or metal will create a more edgy and modern look. However, these materials can be unwelcoming in some cases. Wood, such as pine, cherry, and oak, is more welcoming. Oak stairs give a classic look, but can also be stained and shaped to fit any home.
Style is also very important when deciding on a staircase. A great option for smaller spaces, such as lofts, is the spiral staircase. These staircases are compact, but still the center of attention. Curved staircases are long staircases that have a curve in them. The curved staircase is modern, yet elegant, and grabs the attention of all in the room. For classic and elegant look, you will want a circular staircase. For the most grandiose staircase, you will want the grand staircase. This staircase creates a huge statement, in which two circular staircases start at opposite ends of the home and meet together at the top. Each of these wooden stairs Liverpool styles can use different types of railings to create an overall statement.
When creating your staircase, it is important to always remember your joinery manufacturer Liverpool budget. With all of the different options, such as style and materials, it is easy to go over your budget. There are, however, ways to cut back so you can stay on budget. Choose which part of the stairs are most important, like materials, stains, railings, or style. Once you choose which factor is most important, start from there and work on. Though you may have to choose some different materials, you will be sure to stay on budget.
Choosing the manufacturer is the final step. To make sure you get the best staircase for your home, make sure your manufacturer will work with you, and your budget, to create the staircase you want. Before you choose your manufacturer, look at their other work and client reviews to see if they will fit with what you want. To make sure you get the best work done, this is an important step to take.
The overall look and feel of a home can be greatly enhanced with a new staircase. To create the best staircase for your home, make sure you make all decisions about style, materials, stains, and more, before you start. By hiring the right manufacturer, you can get the staircase of your dreams while staying on budget.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
This is how I keep my vegetables fermenting without any extra time, effort, equipment or money. It works every time!
Making probiotic pickles with no special equipment and no hot stove and no vinegar is extremely simple and SO delicious! Many different vegetables ferment beautifully and are well-worth the 5 minutes (+ 2 weeks unattended) it takes to prep them.
Sauerkraut is simple to make and so very tasty to eat, but I have a way to make it tastier! Add sweet potato!
My Grandfather always made sauerkraut in a giant 30 gallon crock. This is my homage to his memory. A small batch kraut made simply. Slice, Salt, Smash and wait.
If you're looking for a quick and easy fermented side dish, then give this sweet, tangy and spicy Napa cabbage salad a try. Once the Napa cabbage and carrots have fermented for a month, this recipe only takes a few minutes to prepare.
Homemade ginger beer with just three ingredients! It's a bubbly, nonalcoholic beverage like a soda, but its carbonation comes from fermentation!
This lactofermented garlic is buttery and smooth. The fermentation process takes away the fire and heat of raw garlic and leave a rich flavor. Great for adding flavor to any dish and for warding off cold and flu bugs!
To make a perfectly delicious batch of your own gourmet, artisan kraut, all you need is a big bowl, a quart-size mason jar, cabbage, sea salt, and patience.
Nothing compares to a naturally fermented pepper mash and chili sauce aged a full year.
A basic kimchi that includes all sorts of fall crops.

Open source software and web development are closely related to one another. Why? If you write a web application, anyone who receives the final product will see all of your source code without any hindrance (except PHP at some cases, but obscuring your PHP web application's source code is way tedious and clients won't like it). Therefore, it's common for the open source community to develop a lot of web applications as well as plugins for popular open source CMS or web apps like WordPress, Drupal and Joomla. Therefore, if you want to be a part of the open source community, programming the web is a great first step.
Now, we know that the web development niche is full of open source folks so we would want to start getting into it. In order to be a web developer, you need to learn the programming languages of the web. Let's get started.
The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the very first step that everyone makes towards web development. It's the core of webpages, the backbone of any other web language. HTML is used to define the structure of a webpage. It's a relatively easy language to learn and most of the time, learning HTML is accompanied by CSS and JavaScript, which we'll tackle next.
Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) is usually called the twin of HTML. HTML is for structure and CSS is for design. Using CSS, we can define how our webpages look and we must have HTML first before we can use CSS to define the design. Like HTML, CSS is quite easy to learn, but to be more accurate, let's say it's one level above HTML in terms of difficulty. Nonetheless, HTML and CSS should be learned side-by-side.
Not to be confused with Java, JavaScript or JS for short adds interactivity to your webpages. JavaScript is the hardest one to learn of the three because this follows programming logic. You'll have to learn variables, arrays, functions and others. But don't worry, learning JavaScript is easier than learning C++ (or similar programming languages). Now, it's complete, we have the design, structure and interactivity. Once you have a good grasp of HTML and CSS, it's generally a good idea to start learning JavaScript. With JavaScript, you can control both HTML and CSS and add different kinds of events, detect forms, create customized messages or add fanciness to your webpages.
PHP & MySQL
After you are quite knowledgeable with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, it's time to take your skills to the next level. PHP and MySQL goes hand in hand with one another and they will allow you to build complex web applications. They could take some time to learn, but if you get a good grasp of them, you can confidently indicate in your resume that you are a web developer. PHP is about the logic execution while MySQL is about database/data storage and retrieving.
The first three languages, HTML, CSS and JS are front-end languages, which mainly focuses on what the end-users see. PHP and MySQL are backend languages and they focus on manipulating and processing information at the server-side, a place where the end users can't see. In order to develop a fully interactive web application that can let users register and interact with one another, you need to have the knowledge of those five languages. A simple about page only needs HTML and CSS, probably a JavaScript for additional interactivity.
Learning web development is a step-by-step procedure. First, HTML and CSS, then mix JS. After that, start with PHP & MySQL and finally, try to build a simple web application to expand your experience and knowledge. When you finally get them all, you're going to want to get a decent web server to make sure that you can showcase your work to the world.

Your 6 Main Responsibilities As A Mom
1. Keep Your Children Safe.
This is the primary task during the early years. I've heard a child development expert say that your main job during the toddler and preschool years is to 'stop them from killing themselves.' In the first few years you have to worry about the dangers of drowning, sharp objects, poisoning, falling, stranger danger and so on.
In later years, you have to worry about keeping them away from drugs, alcohol, bad friends, and sexually transmitted diseases etc.
2. The second responsibility is giving your child the skills needed to live healthy, happy lives. This encompasses good nutrition, healthy living habits, exercise and forming good relationships with others.
3. The third important task of parenting is providing your child with the life-skills needed to succeed. This encompasses manners, reading, writing, cooking, laundry, balancing a checkbook and a host of other skills needed to function well in the modern world.
4. The fourth task that you need to perform in order to be an effective parent is to stay involved throughout all the different stages of childhood. From all animals, humans have the longest period of dependence. Parents need to be actively involved until kids have reached adulthood.
5. The fifth responsibility of effective parents is that you need to take care of yourself. You can't care for your loved ones properly if you don't make self-care a priority.
6. The sixth responsibility of effective parents is that you, not the kids, need to be in charge.
Home By Choice Book Review
Donna wisely points out that nobody, not even the most highly trained and paid professional nanny or babysitter can raise your child as well as you can. And she provides the research to back up her claims.
Donna makes a rather compelling case against daycare and backs it up with study after study. This book will probably make working mothers feel extremely guilty but Donna acknowledges that and says that "God has given us the emotion of guilt to redirect us."
The book takes a detailed and in-depth look at how your life will change when you make the transition from working mom to stay at home mom and she offers advice and suggestions on how to best cope. There's also some sound advice on how to deal with criticism from your boss, co-workers, family members and friends with regards to your decision to become a stay at home mom. There are also many useful tips on personal goal setting as it applies to stay at home moms. And if you're concerned about losing your personal identity once you give up your job, Donna offers some great advice and support as well.
There was also an unexpected section on dressing well (I agree, no frumpy sweats!)
The section on time-management was also full of great advice. And Donna shared some old-fashioned (but great) advice on both marriage and parenting. I found the chapter on organization really useful, even though I consider myself to be quite organized.
If money is an issue (and it almost always is!) then there's a section devoted to making money from home. It's rather basic but it does point you in the direction of other resources if you would like to pursue this avenue further.And the chapter on saving money helps you to stretch your money even further.
Even though I didn't particularly like the overtly Christian flavor to the book, I found it to be well worth the read. The copy I read and reviewed was borrowed from my local public library.

A Day In The Mind Of Your Defiant Child
A Day in the Mind of Your Defiant Child
by James Lehman, MSW
If you're the parent of a defiant child, you've probably wondered what makes him so angry at life—and angry at you. With the school year approaching, are you gearing up for another difficult year with your child, just hoping that he'll make it through—and that you'll be able to manage without falling apart? Realize that it doesn't have to be a daily battle of wills once you understand what's actually going on in your child's head. Here, James Lehman MSW breaks down some of your child's thinking on a typical school day.
Although it may feel like your defiant child hates you, that's usually far from the truth.
It's another day and another battle. The alarm goes off, and your child yells, "School sucks. Why do I have to go? It's not fair!" He hasn't done his homework (again) because, as he sees it, the teacher didn't explain the assignment to him. He adds, "Besides, my teacher is a jerk, and she doesn't like me, anyway." You find yourself yelling, "Hurry, you're going to miss the bus," but instead of getting ready, now your child is dragging his feet and shouting, "Leave me alone!" As on countless other days, he misses the bus and starts pleading with you for a ride to school, saying, "You don't want me to be late, do you, Mom?" Before he gets out of the car, he reacts to your speech about trying harder tomorrow by screaming, "All right, get off my back. Why are you always yelling at me?" and slams the door. At school, he gravitates to the wrong group of friends and goofs off in class; even worse, he talks back to the teacher instead of paying attention. When he comes home in the afternoon, he grunts at you before getting onto his video games (you think they're way too violent, but he loves them) listens to music which you find offensive, and talks openly about admiring people who are crooks and criminals. That night, you know your child is probably going to stay up until all hours playing more of those video games you can't stand, but you're so tired of fighting with him that you just fall into bed exhausted.
As a parent, you live this kind of situation every day when you have a defiant or "difficult" kid, but have you ever wondered what's going on in your child's head when he's fighting with you? Although it may feel like he hates you, that's usually far from the truth. Rather, kids get caught up in a long chain of what we call "thinking errors" that can tangle up their emotions and behavior—and make no mistake, unless they get help, thinking errors can dominate a person's thought processes throughout their entire lives.
Here's how some of the thinking errors used by the child above break down—and what you can do to challenge these faulty ways of thinking in your own child.
Thinking Error #1: "School sucks. Why do I have to go? It's not fair."
What It Means: One of the thinking errors this child is using is called "Injustice." Realize that many kids see things as being unfair. The danger is that once they label something as "not fair" they feel like they don't have to follow the rules or honor your expectations. This is pretty common in our society. If you're on the turnpike and the speed limit is fifty-five miles an hour, you'll see many people going sixty-five and seventy. It's because they think fifty-five miles an hour isn't fair—and once they decide it's not fair, then in their minds, the speed limit rules don't apply to them.
We all use thinking errors to justify doing things we know are risky or unhealthy. People use errors every day to gamble, lie, steal and cheat—or simply to justify having that second helping of pie. The problem is when kids use thinking errors to avoid taking responsibility. When they do this, they're not realistically preparing for the adult world which awaits them. Remember, it's not what the thinking error does—it's what the thinking error justifies or permits.
What You Can Do: It's important for you as a parent to challenge the error in thinking in a non-confrontational way. One thing the mother in our example could have said was, "You know school is your responsibility. If you don't get up, you're going to get an earlier bedtime. And it looks to me like you need to get more rest so you can get up on time."
Thinking Error #2: "The Teacher is a jerk—and she hates me."
What It Means: When a child says something like this, he's using a thinking error called "The Victim Stance". Some kids see themselves as victims all the time and in almost every situation. What they're doing is trying to reject the idea that they're responsible for anything. You'll ask them a question and they've always got a sad story. Part of that sad story is who they blame for not meeting their responsibilities. That's because when you're a victim, you blame other people. So these kids blame the teacher, they blame you, or they blame somebody else—and what they learn is if they stick to their story long enough, they won't be held accountable.
What I try to tell parents is that there is a sad story, and then there's a behavior story. The sad story is your child playing the victim; the behavior story is what your child did to other people or to property. And as parents, we always have to focus on the behavior story. Every child has to be responsible for the behavior story, not the sad story. Don't forget, when kids see themselves as victims, that gives them the justification they need to not meet their responsibilities. If you're a victim, they reason, you shouldn't have to do anything you don't want to do. And focusing on the sad story somehow supports their right not to meet responsibilities.
What You Can Do: When your child adopts the Victim Stance, what he needs to be hearing from you is, "You're not a victim. You're responsible for your actions." In this case, the parent could also say, "It sounds like you're blaming your teacher for not having your homework done. But you're the homework-doer—that's your responsibility. And it's not your teacher's job to get along with you; it's your job to get along with your teacher."
Thinking Error #3: "You don't want me to be late for school, do you?"
What It Means: This is the thinking error I call "Concrete Transactions". The Concrete Transactions mode is a way of thinking about things in which relationships with people in authority are simply vehicles your child uses to get around the rules. What he is saying is, "I'm your friend, and since I'm your friend, you're going to help me get away with things—or help me get things I'm not entitled to." So in your child's mind, relationships are designed to help him get around rules, expectations and responsibilities. In other words, he thinks, "If I have a relationship with you, then you won't make me follow the rules. You're going to let me stay up past bedtime and sleep late in the morning." So to your child, rules and the rights of others are seen as obstacles in relationships. The use of "Concrete Transactions" is designed to make you remove those obstacles instead of helping your child develop the problem solving skills he needs to manage the challenges he faces.
Know that if you're in this kind of relationship with your child, you're not really a person—you're a role. Simply put, your child will treat you the right way as long as you stay in your role. If you try to leave it and be more responsible and hold your child accountable, you will often get a very nasty reaction.
By the way, whenever I hear parents say they want to be their kid's friend, I become concerned. If parents want a friend, they should seek it outside of the home or get a puppy. These kids don't need their parents to be their friends. They need direction, limits, coaching, teaching and structure. Look at it this way: if you define friendship as a mutual relationship where two people really try to take care of each other, then the best way to be your child's friend is by being an effective parent.
What You Can Do: It's important that children face the true consequences of their behavior. And when an authority figure such as a parent or teacher lets them off the hook, it doesn't matter what they say to the child to justify it. As far as the child's concerned, it works: He won.
In the example above, I would suggest that if possible, and if it's safe, the mother should leave her child at home. Most kids complain about going to school, but they have no place else to go. And remember, if you leave him home, take the video game, cable box and computer control panel with you in the trunk of your car—and don't forget his cell phone.
Thinking Error #4: "This video game is cool. Mom doesn't know what she's talking about—she's so uptight."
What It Means: This child is using a thinking error called "Pride in Negativity". Defiant kids often take a lot of pride in their knowledge of unhealthy, secretive things. They have a fascination with negative role models because they see them as being powerful. These kids might hint at having a secretive, negative life. They may also take great pride in telling you that they know about different drugs and where to get them, and in their knowledge of crime—and how to shoplift and steal.
Kids who have low self esteem and no way to solve problems will gravitate towards peers who don't expect anything out of them. Those kids in general will see negative behavior as a solution to their problem. In the end, "Pride in Negativity" means self esteem and identity from negativity.
What You Can Do: One of the big mistakes parents make is to argue with their kids about the negative things their child is fascinated with. But fighting about those issues only gives the child more power. I personally think parents should have a structure in their home that forbids the games they're not comfortable with. You should also really ignore any Pride in Negativity statements by saying, "Look, I'm not interested in that stuff," and then walk away. In other words, give it no power. Remember, if you show your child that certain behaviors have power over you, those behaviors are going to be repeated. Conversely, behaviors that have no power over you will diminish.
It's important to remember that kids believe in the thinking errors they're using. As a parent, I believe to be overly confrontational is not the way to go. What's preferred is a corrective response that challenges or refutes the thinking error. After all, these errors are part of every day life. You'll find that people use them all the time. In fact, I find myself using thinking errors, and you might find yourself using them, too. But here's the risk for your child: kids, and especially teens, use these errors in thinking to avoid doing things that are difficult for them, and that's what makes them dangerous. Remember, adolescence is one of the most critical times in your child's development for them to learn how to solve life's problems—not avoid them by using excuses, manipulation or lies.

This Year Made Me Take My Reproductive Health Much More Seriously
It's never too late!
Are you a light sleeper? I am. I went for a sleep study a few months back, and after getting about 40 wires taped and glued to my body, all they could tell me was something along the lines of, "Well, maybe you're just a bad sleeper."
One of the first things friends find out about me is that I have an absolutely horrendous sleep schedule. I'm also always tired. And since modern medicine isn't exactly playing ball, I decided to figure out the basics of my "sleep hygiene" on my own.
For me, this was broken down into three rules:
1. Don't always hang out in your bedroom. I know this is hard, especially if you have roommates or live in a bachelor, but try your best to separate your sleep area from your work area. Apparently, our minds won't "switch off" as easily in an area you associate with stress/work, which is nice to know when you live in a glorified shoebox. I do my best.
2. Turn your phone on silent at night. Trust me, your alarm will still go off in the morning. Nothing good happens in the middle of the night anyway. That text can wait until morning.
3. Wear a sleep mask. Oh, you better believe it.
No, not a mask for your skin. A mask that blocks out light from your eyes. And oddly enough, this is what has helped the most.
It's not licensed as such, but this moulded sleep mask definitely gives me Batman vibes. It also sort of looks like a bra for your face. Regardless, the damn thing works. (Just Google search "molded sleep mask" for one you like.)
It's quite large on me, but I have a puny head. It fits perfectly on my boyfriend, and probably just as great on people with normal, human-sized heads. There's a velcro strap on the back, so you can adjust how tight or loose you want it. Even I can get this thing snug thanks to that little feature.
The area around your nose is completely covered, blocking out any light coming in (something traditional sleep masks definitely don't do). The cupped shape over each eye allows you to open your eyes at any given moment without that gross, squished feeling that happens with regular sleep masks. Crushed eyelashes? No thanks.
My sleep isn't perfect, but it's definitely improved since I bought this mask. I find I actually sleep through the night a lot more often when I don't have the morning light blinding me at 6am, and having your eyes covered sort of takes away the need to always be on alert. It helps me chill out, and just focus on sleep, which is more than I ever expected from a cheap little sleep mask.

I had the pleasure of spending the weekend attending ORDCamp in Chicago. It's an unconference bringing together a wide range of artists, founders, engineers, educators, writers, and even a couple of beekeepers. I learned so many things I expected to learn (cool new ideas, tools, and stories) but the overall Gestalt experience brought several unexpected realizations.
This is my fifth or sixth unconference. This format bring together people around some common philosophy or topic. Unlike a conference, there is no content set ahead of time. No confirmed talks, no pre-arranged speakers. The attendees construct the schedule together on the first night. This works way better than you'd think.
Session leaders are not necessarily even experts in their topic. It's perfectly acceptable to just start a session around a question you have been pondering, creating a space for an interesting discussion. I ran a session called "Training Animals (and Humans) for Fun and Profit." I'm not an animal trainer and I've never had a pet. A dog training book [1] changed the way I think about parenting, strengthening relationships, software user interfaces, and how to change my own habits. I wanted to share what I'd learned.
Sessions don't have to even be about ideas. One of the more popular sessions was watching someone play the video game Spelunky. Others were more hands on. I'm particularly sad I missed Flaming Nunchucks, which was exactly what it sounds like.
One reason this format works so well is that it creates just enough structure. Organizers make sure social norms and expectations are clear, give advice on how best to navigate the experience, and then put the content squarely in the hands of the attendees. This works so well precisely because there is a void to fill. If you don't step up and offer something interesting to the community it's going to be a pretty boring day. It puts people in a contributor mindset, which changes everything.
At normal conferences, you can really phone it in. Sit in the back, half-listen to the sage on the stage, flip through Twitter, hang out with people you already know. But at well-run unconferences, opportunities to engage feel precious and fleeting. You want to attend every session and meet everyone.
At the intro session, organizers Fitz and Zach encouraged us to settle in, "carefully place your stuff precisely anywhere" and lay off the tweeting and posting to indulge in a weekend for ourselves. I left my laptop and phone in my bag the whole weekend. I knew it would help my focus, but I didn't expect it to so radically improve my energy level. Instead of sliding into Twitter or email when I had a down moment, I had time to be thoughtful: to say hello, ask a question, get some water, or play Chopsticks on a musical Tesla coil. Twitter and email feel stimulating but are actually shallow and exhausting: aspartame for the mind.
When we felt the urge to check our phones, organizers and ORDCamp veterans enouraged us to see that as a sign to get up and leave the session we were in and explore others. Making it socially acceptable to say 'no' politely and find something that's a better fit for you isn't disrespectful. Quite the opposite: you get a better session, and the other folks in the room get engaged, excited partners. [2]
The other piece of unexpected advice came from ORDCamp veteran Bill. "Choose the session you're least interested in." I couldn't resist the interesting sessions for the first few rounds, for the 5pm slot I chose The Art and Science of Smoking Pigs. I'm never going to have the space to do it myself, and how much could there possible be to say about pig roasting?
Moshe blew me away. He's spent years refining his barbeque technique, and showed us the science, art, and culture that went into the best barbeque I've ever had. Not only that, but he fed us rib tips and barbeque sauce-covered Cap'n Crunch. And he brought a blow torch and charred up a few different wood samples so we could get a sense for the different smoke flavors.
Luck surface area [3] is an immensely useful concept. Bill's advice was essentially to increase my serendipity surface area, exposing myself to ideas that perhaps weren't interesting because I just hadn't seen them in the right light before. [4] I'll certainly never see barbeque the same way again.
Unconferences in general are all about increasing serendipity surface area. They are just enough structure to create an amazing skeleton, and then get out of the way and allow the incredible brains in the room to fill the space deliberately left empty. It's a structure that gets out of the way.
Hacker School is such a radically efficient educational experience for exactly the same reason. In some sense, it's a 12-week-long unconference with ad-hoc one-to-two person sessions. It's a school that gets out of the way of your learning. This is also why I chose an unstructured hack night as the first format for Women Who Code. The group simply a social platform to bring together phenomenal people and then get out of their way so they can build the code and relationships that they need.
The most surprising thing I'm taking with me is perspective on my daily life. NYC hardens you around the edges quickly. There's so much noise and hubbub to filter out, and so many people demanding your time, attention, and money. With world-class everything, it's easy to slip into casual jadedness. Seeing people share their excitement and passion for beekeeping and parenting and schools and tattoos and nunchucks and games and sousaphones, I couldn't remember the last time I was that viscerally excited about something. I want to put that feeling in a jar and keep it with me in the big city.
I'll let you know how it goes. In the meantime, get yourself to an unconference. Or make your own.
[1] Recommended to me by habit formation expert BJ Fogg, whose work has also been immensely useful.
[2] This is also great relationship advice.
[3] Luck surface area means increasing the opportunities you have to be lucky, either by increasing your exposure to opportunity or by preparation to take advantage of it when it comes around.
[4] Someone's offhand comment on Friday gave me a great new metaphor: ant trails. Ants wander around exploring somewhat randomly. As they go, they lay down trails of pheremones. When other ants come across these trails, they follow them. In short order, the entire workforce are no longer exploring, just trucking food back and forth on established trails. It's the best way to efficiently keep their colony fed…at the expense of exploration. It's very easy to go to sessions in your wheelhouse. Bill's advice got me out of my ant trails.

While I knew that most of my posts were pretty technical (after all, I did start my new blog to focus on other things) imagine my surprise when I realised I didn't properly cover the one thing this blog is supposed to cover: web application firewalls! The emphasize is on the word "properly": I provided a great deal of technical information but not enough content that would explain why one would deploy a web application firewall and how. This stuff had went into my conference talks and the Web Application Firewall Evaluation Criteria project, but I forgot to discuss the topics here. In an effort to fix this I am starting a series of blog posts called Web Application Firewall Concepts. Each post will be reasonably brief and cover one aspect of the technology, and I will continually update this post to serve as a table of contents.

Williamsburg was treated to a
taste of the intriguing history of Spain when archivist Peio Monteano Sorbet of
the Royal and General Archive of Navarre (AGN) came to William and Mary to
deliver a public lecture as well as two private classroom presentations.
The reason for Monteano's visit,
Lu Ann Homza says, is due to the 500th anniversary of the Conquest
of Navarre by the Kingdom of Castille. Monteano is a best-selling author in
Spain on the topic of this conquest, and regaled members of the Williamsburg
community with his lecture titled "The Conquest of Navarre and the Rivalry
Between Francis I and Charles V."
Monteano is one of the Pamplona
archivists—along with Don Jose Luis—who have helped Homza and her students over
the years.
Additionally, Monteano lectured to
Professor George Greenia's medieval Hispanic literature course on the presence
of the Black Death in Spain during the 1300s. He also attended Homza's History
of Spain class to deliver a presentation on the Royal and General Archive of
Navarre, and how its contents shape the picture of the Spanish kingdom.

It can be a little nerve-wracking to meet history face to face, something Ubuhlebuyeza Keswa found out last night when she met South African human rights activist Naomi Tutu.
It can be a little nerve-wracking to meet history face to face, something Ubuhlebuyeza Keswa found out last night when she met South African human rights activist Naomi Tutu.
"At first I was intimidated by who she is," said the Framingham State University junior, 27, originally from Johannesburg. "But then we spoke in (the South African language) Xhosa, exchanged greetings — it was good."
The spirit of Ubuntu — the South African concept of humanity, or brotherhood — was strong in that meeting, and continued to be the main theme of Tutu's speech later that night on campus.
Tutu, the daughter of South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a prominent opponent of apartheid in the 1980s, has forged her own legacy as a scholar, author and public speaker. She drew hundreds of students, faculty and residents to a packed Dwight Hall Performing Arts Center last night.
Tutu's visit was part of Framingham State's new President's Distinguished Lecture Series, which has invited six scholars to campus this school year to speak on a range of topics.
Her talk, titled "Ubuntu: Our Shared Humanity," documented how the word, for her, came to encapsulate apartheid South Africa, and later became a lens through which she viewed the world.
As a girl growing up in the segregated country, Tutu said she at first struggled to understand how Ubuntu, and a longer, associated African proverb — "a person is a person only through other people" — could apply to the oppression she saw all around her.
"I was taught that when you insult someone, when you diminish them and oppress them, you're saying a lot about yourself, and in some way, insulting, diminishing and oppressing yourself," she said.
On the surface, it didn't seem to Tutu that the white South Africans, who had the power, the money, and the comforts at the expense of their black countrymen, were proof of that. But eventually she realized they "were just as oppressed as were — and that oppression was fear," she said. "They were so terrified of losing that privilege, that they couldn't enjoy it."
It's been nearly two decades since apartheid fell, but Tutu still sees that fear all around the world, even in the U.S., where the political conversation "has really become all about us versus them. The fundamental thing is, what is wrong with our country, we can blame it all on them," she said, referring to the scapegoating she perceives in the national discourse.
It takes a firm commitment to Ubuntu, to seeing the humanity in each other, to overcome that, Tutu said. It also takes persistence, as she found out as a fledgling anti-apartheid activist while attending college in Kentucky.
"I wanted people to know what was going on in South Africa," she said. "College campuses offer you so many different venues to have your voice heard." There are still plenty of things in the world to inflame passions — "you just have to turn on the TV," she said. Even in Tutu's home country, the pall of apartheid lingers.
"It was such a big occurrence in our history," said Keswa, who moved to the United States five years ago and now lives in Waltham. "There's still remnants of it today."
That's why Keswa hoped her fellow students would take away from Tutu's talk the importance of embracing "the spirit of Ubuntu, to let bygones be bygones." Without it, "our world cannot move forward," Tutu said.

Seahorse is included with Ubuntu by default and should already be installed on your system. If it isn't, you can open a terminal window from the applications launcher and run the command "sudo apt-get install seahorse" to install it.

Create PGP Key
A PGP, or pretty good privacy, key allows you to encrypt and sign files with your private key. Your private key is protected with a password. Others can use your public key to decrypt the files and ensure they're from you, since only you have access to your private key.
Click the "File" menu, select "New," select "PGP Key" in the window that appears and click "Continue."
Type your name into the Full Name box, your email address in the Email Address box and an optional comment in the Comment box.
Click the "Advanced Key Options" heading in the window to view advanced key options.
Click the "Encryption Type" box and select an encryption type for your key. Seahorse's developers recommend the "DSA ElGamal" option, which allows you to sign, verify, encrypt and decrypt files. Other types only allow you to sign and verify files.
Set the key strength by typing a value into the Key Strength box. You can type any value between 1024 and 4096. Larger values are more secure if you're using a strong pass-phase, but operations take longer to perform with larger values. Again, the Seahorse developers recommend a minimum value of 2048 bits, which is the default.
Uncheck the "Never Expires" check box if you want your encryption key to expire eventually. The encryption key never expires by default. You can set an expiry time, if desired. Seahorse's developers recommend an expiry time of six months, if you want your key to expire.
Click the "Create" button and provide a strong pass-phrase. Unlike a password, a pass-phrase can contain one or more spaces.
Click "OK" to generate your key. The generation process may take a few moments. After it's finished, the generated key appears under the My Personal Keys tab.
- slide 3 of 5
Create SSH Key
A secure shell, or SSH, key allows you to connect to computers using the SSH protocol, usually used for terminal access. You provide each SSH server with your public key, and you can connect to each using your private key. You don't have to remember a separate password for each SSH server.
Click the "File" menu, select "New," select "Secure Shell Key" and click "Continue."
Type a description into the Key Description box. You can type your email address or any comment that identifies the purpose of the SSH key.
Click the "Advanced Key Options" header to view more options.
Click the "Encryption Type" box and select "RSA" or "DSA." The Seahorse developers recommend RSA as the more secure encryption type; use it unless you require DSA for a specific reason.
Set the key strength using the Key Strength box. Like with PGP Keys, you can select any value between 1024 and 4096. Higher values are more secure with a strong pass-phrase, although each operation you perform with your key takes longer with higher values. Seahorse's developers recommend not going below the default value of 2048 bits.
Click "Just Create Key" or "Create and Set Up" if you want to set another computer up to use the key.
Type a strong pass-phrase into the boxes and click "OK." Strong pass-phrases are similar to strong passwords, but you can use spaces in pass-phrases. SSH keys also appear under the My Personal Keys tab after they're generated
If you selected "Create and Set Up," provide the name of the computer and your log-in name, then click "Set Up." After you provide your password, Seahorse configures the computer to allow you to log in with your SSH key instead of your password on that computer.
- slide 4 of 5
Passwords and Secrets
To use Seahorse to store passwords and other private information click the "File" menu, select "New," select "Stores Password" and click "Continue." Click the "Keyring" box and select "Login," then provide a description and password. Seahorse stores the password in your login keyring, which it unlocks and decrypts with your system password when you log in to your Ubuntu computer. People can only access these passwords if you're logged in.
You can change a key's pass-phrase or export it, as well as perform other actions, from its properties dialog. Right-click the key in the Seahorse window and select "Properties."

Hayes, Huskies face Irish in tonight's Final Four
Denver - It was after a WNBA game last summer that an impromptu UConn revival meeting happened in the bar area of Geno's Fastbreak, the hip eatery at Mohegan Sun. It was a Sun-Storm game, which delivered Sue Bird, Swin Cash, Asjha Jones, Kalana Greene, Tina Charles, Jessica Moore and Renee Montgomery, among others.
The conversation flowed, much like the euphoric nectar, ping-ponging to this and that before the subject arose of UConn's loss to Notre Dame in the Final Four a few months earlier. And while the term "blame assessment" would be too strong, let's just say that some of the alums present made it quite clear that Tiffany Hayes' performance in that game was unbecoming of a veteran UConn Husky.
Was it fair? Maybe not. But this is a program where the lineage is as impressive as its winning percentage. Thou shalt not tick off the lineage, apparently.
"Well," associate head coach Chris Dailey was saying Saturday at Pepsi Center, site of the Final Four, "I appreciate their support. But it's easy to point fingers when you're not here every day. They could have easily pointed a finger at the coaches, too. We could have done things differently."
But it was, nonetheless, a regrettable, forgettable night for Hayes, whose four points in 33 minutes fortified the belief for some that Hayes' surname should be "Haze" in big games.
So now it's three days short of a year later, a groundhog day of sorts. It's the Final Four again, Notre Dame again (6:30 p.m., ESPN). This would be redemption's stage. It would make for quite a story, Hayes the protagonist in an allegory of persistence.
Hayes' career is a fascinating study. When UConn successfully recruited her, coach Geno Auriemma cracked Hayes was "Kalana, only good." Nobody really knew much about Hayes in the early days with the shadows of Montgomery, Charles and Maya Moore.
"When Tiffany got here," Dailey said, "she was able to be just part of something. She never had to learn any hard lessons. We had Tina and Maya. By junior year, more was expected. That loss exposed her. It had an impact on her."
It's not the worst news, especially if you support the theory of Kathy Auriemma, Geno's wife, who believes that suffering is the key to UConn's success.
"There hasn't been one championship team here that hasn't suffered," she said in 2007, the night LSU destroyed UConn in the Elite Eight.
Kathy Auriemma meant this: All the national championship teams endured bitter disappointment in the NCAA tournament before hanging the banner.
Just ask Greene. She was a post-Taurasi recruit who arrived here bearing relentless expectations. So did Montgomery and later, Charles. There were painful losses in Bridgeport, Fresno and Tampa that ended seasons.
"It wasn't easy," Greene said after UConn's win over Kentucky last week. "We struggled when we were expected to win. Tiffany was different in that she joined in to what was already going on. Then all of a sudden comes last year when it was a shift on to her. It's a big burden."
UConn fans, ever forgiving, get to know the players through what they read and see. Hayes, unlike many in the aforementioned lineage, keeps enough walls around her, preventing warm, fuzzy stories about her.
"She's not an easy kid to get to know," Dailey said.
Dailey said later that the best part of this story has been Hayes' response. She scored 22 points in the Elite Eight last week, drawing multiple hosannas, not to mention the tournament's Most Outstanding Player honor.
"Tiffany has grown to handle things better," Dailey said.
Hayes, UConn's lone senior, learned Saturday that teammate Bria Hartley was named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association All-America team. Hayes could just as easily have been selected.
But if nothing else, Hayes has learned that at UConn, it's about banners, not honors. This could be her last game tonight on redemption's stage. Stay tuned. Could be a fascinating watch.

By William James and Suleiman Al-Khalidi
LONDON/AMMAN (Reuters) - A radical Muslim cleric once called "Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe" was deported from Britain to Jordan on Sunday, ending years of British government efforts to send him back home to face terrorism charges.
A police convoy collected Abu Qatada from London's Belmarsh prison after midnight and drove him through the streets of the capital to a military airport. Soon after arriving in Jordan, he was taken under heavy guard to a nearby military court.
The legal battle to deport Abu Qatada has embarrassed successive British governments. Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "absolutely delighted" it was over.
"It's an issue that ... has made my blood boil - that this man who has no right to be in our country, who's a threat to our country, that it took so long and was so difficult to deport him," Cameron told reporters.
Jordanian judicial officials said the state security prosecutor charged Abu Qatada with conspiring to carry out terrorist attacks in Jordan in 1999 and 2000. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in absentia on those charges but will now be retried.
Abu Qatada, whose real name is Omar Mahmoud Othman, denied the charges.
"My client denied all the allegations, and he asserts that his return to Jordan was out of his own free will, in order to be with his family," Tayseer Diab, his lawyer, told Reuters.
The prosecutor of the military court ordered his detention in Muaqar prison in a suburb of the capital for 15 days pending questioning.
"His spirits are high and we hope to get him bail soon," said Mahmoud Othman, Abu Qatada's father, outside the court.
Many civic groups have criticized Abu Qatada's trial in a military court, saying it is illegal under the constitution and lacks proper legal safeguards. They demand he be tried in a civil court.
Jordan is seeking to improve its civil rights image but has long been accused by rights groups of widespread abuse of Islamist prisoners, which it denies.
Lawyers say many Islamists have been tried in the last decade with much fanfare to curry favor with the United States and bolster the kingdom's credentials as a player in the U.S. declared war on terrorism.
Jordan's Minister of State Mohammad al-Momani told Reuters Abu Qatada would have a fair trial "with the Jordanian judiciary respecting human rights."
Britain had said the preacher posed a national security risk, but courts had repeatedly blocked his deportation.
His return was made possible by an extradition treaty adopted by Jordan and Britain last week that satisfied the concerns of British judges about the use of evidence obtained through torture.
Sermons of the heavily bearded Abu Qatada were found in a Hamburg flat used by some of those who carried out the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
Abu Qatada was deported on the anniversary of the July 7, 2005 suicide attacks on London's subway and bus network that killed more than 50 people.
Linked by a Spanish judge to the late al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, Abu Qatada has been in and out of jail in Britain since first being arrested in 2001. He was sent back to prison last March for breaching his bail conditions.

Still haven't landed an agent? There are a few publishers that will still take you seriously, and while there are listings upon listings out there in the vast ocean of Cyberspace, relying on experience is better than reading submission guidelines, going through the motions, and waiting months (or years) for your work to be ignored.
What's my experience? See Rejection: Greatest Hits. While I haven't listed the names of the offenders, I've been considered (and beaten up by) some of the biggest names in Sci-Fi/ Fantasy publishing. What's more, I've often waited three times as long as the posted reporting times because my work was held for a second read or third read. Even my current publisher, albeit for legitimate reasons, is holding a novel well beyond the submission period.
Life's too short. You don't want to wait ten years to know who's worth your time. So spend ten minutes reading this post. You'll thank me later.
The editors at Tor might take awhile, and it might take a couple passes through their physical mail room in New York to reach the right person, but their acquisitions department does actively read and consider unagented manuscripts. If they feel your story has merit, they will respond with an e-mail and ask to read the entire novel. In my experience, if you get this far, you'll at least manage some notes from several different editors that will give you insight into how to make your fiction more marketable.
The other reasons for wanting to go with Tor are obvious. When an imprint of Macmillan sporting some of the biggest names in the field (Robert Jordan, Orson Scott Card, Terry Goodkind, etc.) and twenty consecutive Locus publisher of the year awards actively reads unagented submissions, you submit your work.
Keep an eye on Harper Collins. While the editors don't normally accept unsolicited submissions, they opened the floodgates to around 4,500 manuscripts for a two-week period in October of 2012. The plan was to find new voices for their upcoming digital line. Initially, the editors were only going to contact the authors in the running for publication, but as of December, this has changed. A recent press release indicates that they're planning to respond to everyone on some level, even if it's just a form rejection letter. This is progress, and to me it represents a potential paradigm shift in the way these mega-publishers plan to do business in the future. (I'll keep you posted, Dear Reader. Two of those 4,500 manuscripts are mine.)
Let's start with an image:
I just grabbed the first book out of Pyr's now-expansive catalog. Impressive, right? Now imagine it in high gloss as a wraparound image. That old cliche about never judging a book by its cover doesn't actually hold up in the industry. While this publisher has been around for a comparatively short amount of time, sales are up and new authors are being discovered monthly. I sent Pyr a novel a few years ago that, in retrospect, was nowhere near ready for publication. The editor I dealt with read the entire manuscript, corresponded with me over e-mail, and even asked a few questions about my world during his reading. You can't ask for more than that.
Well, at this point, I can. My best material is all Sci Fi. Pyr currently only accepts unagented submissions in the genre of Fantasy. Check their list of sub genres, though. You might still qualify.
This Canadian press seems to be expanding, and the editors are nice people who will provide you with notes on a partial if you catch their attention. Unfortunately, they're currently swamped and closed to submissions. Their yearly reading period typically begins in July, but it looks like they're now shooting for July 2014. Still, ChiZine is a great place to try after you've waited the prerequisite 6-12 months at one of the bigger U.S. houses, and your odds of at least getting feedback on your writing–which is crucial–are much higher.
Yes, L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, started this contest decades ago. The contest itself has nothing (in my experience, and other bloggers who have placed and attended the workshops have confirmed this) whatsoever to do with personal religious beliefs. It is, believe it or not, one of the most viable ways to be discovered because the contest judges are all successful writers from the industry.
All entries must be under 17,000 words, but the judges will consider novel excerpts if they feel like they have a sense of closure. Each quarter, those who place in the top three are awarded 1,000, 750, and 500 dollar prizes respectively and flown out to Los Angeles to workshop with major authors. There's also a yearly prize of 5,000 dollars for the top winner, not to mention publication in a very visible anthology.
One of my favorite new authors, Patrick Rothfuss, landed his agent through this contest after being rejected by the universe. Now he has two bestsellers, The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear. (I also know they read what you send them because I managed an honorable mention last year. Dave Wolverton, best known to me for his contributions to the Star Wars universe, sent me a signed award in the mail. The child in me thought this was pretty cool. I've also heard reports of feedback from finalists and those who have placed.)
Anyone who has yet to publish a novel professionally (less than 5,000 copies doesn't count), two novelettes, or three short stories is eligible to compete. I'm making a point to enter this contest every quarter in 2013 until I'm ineligible.
A list of publishers wouldn't be complete without the press that discovered my novelette in a competition last spring. Zharmae is an up-and-coming publisher that has recently acquired the rights to William Tedford's TimeQuest series. The editors are actively seeking new and established writers through general submissions and their annual competition, which has far fewer restrictions than Writers of the Future. (Some of the writers I was up against have several publications under their belts.)
Though 2012 saw only two books roll off this publisher's presses, Zharmae is doubling this in the first quarter of 2013 alone with two anthologies (RealLies and Irony of Survival), a novel (TimeQuest: Star Rashannon), and a memoir (Twat). I'd like to see this indie press, which seems mainly focused on speculative fiction, enjoy some of the same successes as Pyr, but only time will tell.
Are there other presses out there that accept unsolicited speculative fiction? There are plenty that claim to have opened their doors. These are the ones that will give you a fair shake. While I'm not planning on raining down fire and brimstone on my blog about their competitors, there's probably a reason I haven't listed them here.
It's a cut-throat business, fledgling writers. But it gets an awful lot easier when someone believes in you, and there are people with clout out there willing to do so. The trick is finding them. Good luck.

Game Cheating / Hacking / Modding in online and offline games on any system or console is 100% legal everywhere on this planet. Terms of Service are not law, nor actually enforceable contracts, since virtually no one actually reads them. You are allowed to modify software and hack it, as long as you are not making money selling someone else's product or directly causing them financial harm by unfairly competing in their market with them, which is not something that will happen to you, if you are just casually cheating to win games.
Law does vary depending on local jurisdiction, but so far no court has ever ruled cheating in a video game to be illegal anywhere on this planet. And as long as common sense is a thing, that is not going to happen in the future either.

Beware of Fake Hacks, Generators and Tools for Online Games
Online it is pretty easy to claim to be and have anything. Guys can pretend to be girls, scammers can pretend to have hacks that do impossible things. You know how it goes. – So it pays to be aware of what kind of hacks are possible, especially in Online Games:
- It is impossible to get unlimited free money / currency in online games
- It is impossible to get free ingame purchases in online games
- 100% of all "free gem generators" are survey scams, viruses, adware and similar shady deals.
- "Online hacks" in the form of websites for online and offline games do not exist.
Online games store all your account information in the game servers. These servers cannot be hacked. And if they were hacked, it would be fixed within hours… and certainly if someone managed to hack them, the last thing they would do is create some kind of generator to let people sue it for free.
Use your brain: If it sounds stupid, is impossible, sounds too good to be true, if it asks you for "human verification surveys", if it is on the internet where anyone can claim anything, then it is a SCAM.
Banned Game Accounts in Online Games
Any online game account can be banned at any time and for any reason. Developers and Publishers of online games have the right to ban you from their services without having to provide any reason. However, usually they only do so with good reason, since they are not in the business of rejecting free money, but the business of selling games.
Top Reasons why game accounts can get banned:
Is it possible to get my account back / unbanned?
It all depends on the game, the rules you may have broken, the situation ect. But generally you are A) innocent or B) Guilty of something. If A) you simply contact support, but much more likely you will have to go with B) and come up with a good story. The easiest defense is to change your IP using a VPN and claim that your account was accessed / used by an imposter. Read our full guide on how to get back your permabanned game accounts.

Our editor Mala Kumar shares a post about the little (and not so little) women in our books :
At Pratham Books, we love children - and that you already know! We love the women who allow kids to be kids in our books a lot too. Like the mother who encourages her kids to paint the gate in Little Painters, or the grandmother who gets her grandson to discover joy in Aaloo-Maloo-Kaaloo.
You may have met the lovable girls in our books. Rumniya is a brave young girl. Samira Goes Shopping, but comes back with a sweet-smelling gift for her mother, Ritu's letter Get's Longer as she learns to write, and Anu is a delight with her crazy imagination triggered by her Daddy's Mo. Girls are observant as you may know, especially if you've read What does Anu see? And oh, how creative girls can be, even if they do keep saying 'What shall I wear today?'!
You may have heard of smart Mimi and the Buffalo, and of a girl who dreams of the day when Chuskit goes to School. Have you met the brave Bulli and the Tiger? And dreamt along when Mumtaz embroiders her dreams? We're delighted to welcome Anaya and Anaya's Thumb to this girl gang. And Richa the young detective who features in Grandma's Glasses.
Storybooks leave strong impressions on young readers' minds. We do believe it is good to feature strong, warm, loving, independent-minded characters in our books to reinforce positive attitudes. And that is why it was a pleasure to publish the biography of Kasturba Gandhi, We call her Ba.
We'd be delighted to hear about the the women characters in books who have inspired you! Do write in. And have a Happy Women's Day!
