The FOMC minutes certainly showed that rates are going to be locked in at the current rate for at least the next four months; even with expected rate rises towards the back-end of the year, money will remain cheap in 2015 on a historical basis. This will mean liquidity support for markets will remain this year.
Looking ahead to the coming weeks, several major events and data releases are due that will set up Q1 and beyond:
- Non-farm payrolls tonight are predicted to show that even with the interruption of the Christmas holiday period, the US added 240,000 new jobs. This will support the FOMC minutes' economic outlook that consumer sentiment is rising solidly.
- US earning season starts on Monday and Alcoa's release will be watched as bottom-up support of the economic assumptions from the Fed. The likes of AMEX, MasterCard and Visa will be particularly interesting, considering the final quarter of the year will see a spike in consumer spending and whether or not the economic forecasts are translating into actuals.
- The US earning session will also illustrate the effect of USD strength and whether this has had a detrimental effect. With approximately 53% of corporate America revenues coming from oversea, the rapid appreciation against is major trading partners, particularly the EUR and JPY, has fundamental analysts concerned that earnings are likely to be impacted. If there is lower corporate growth due to the currency differential, the effects of monetary policy over the past five years may unwind and non-farms may fall back below the target level of 200,000 jobs a month.
- The Greek elections could be the deal breaker for the EUR and the common currency union. The outcomes from the election are clouded and the fallout from a negative result is worrisome at the very least. The zone is also weeks away from the expected announcement of European-styled QE. The question that needs to be asked here is – what if Mario Draghi doesn't act to buy sovereign bonds and just continues his rhetoric? Will his 'whatever it takes' mantra come crashing down around him as the market loses confidence?
- China data over the coming two weeks will set up how the PBoC and the central government will react to support growth in the world's second largest economy. Today sees December CPI data which has remained well below the official estimate of 3.5% year-on-year, and may see China pulling different monetary levers to alleviate this issue on the back of another sub-par read.
- China is also a few weeks away from releasing its fourth-quarter GDP figures. Estimates are forecasting year-on-year growth of 7.2%. This may be a little weak for comfort and I see the acceleration of the 300 infrastructure projects announced a few weeks ago, worth CNY7 trillion, as a sign the central government is looking to shore up the GDP forecast. I also see further changes to lending facilities and credit flow, despite the fact 2014 saw largest level of excess credit flowing into the country.
Ahead of the Australian open
We are calling the ASX up 41 points to 5422 as energy stocks surge in the US. This should see a snap-back in the energy sector here after four days of savaged selling. November retail sales are also due for release today and despite the lead in the month to Christmas expectations are for sales growth to moderate to 0.2% month-on-month from 0.4% in October. Listed retail stocks have struggled over the previous four months and were hoping for a boost from the Christmas period.

Create a sales plan by setting sales goals, developing objectives based on those goals, learning about the company's target customers, and developing a plan to sell the product or service to those customers. A good sales plan addresses both short- and long-term sales goals, and must take into account competing businesses that offer the same product or service.
Begin the sales plan with an executive summary which includes information about the company, the products or services they sell, what sets it apart from other businesses in the industry, and how the business will succeed in the short- and long-term. Include financial projections for the next few years.
Set an overall goal for the sales plan, such as increasing sales by 20 percent in the next 12 months. Outline smaller sales objectives that will help the business realize this goal.
Dedicate one section of the sales plan to market research. Include information about the characteristics and size of the target market, along with the company's market share. Identify competing businesses, and analyze their quality, prices, marketing campaigns and competitive advantages.
Create a budget to better understand the financial resources needed to meet sales goals. Include labor, advertising, supplies, and travel costs in the budget.

It's been a long, exciting path to this huge milestone in NOYA's journey to store shelves. We are proud to announce that the big day is finally here and NOYA can now be purchased throughout select stores in NY, with more to come in Florida and California over the next several months. You can access the following link for an updated list of stores that carry NOYA lip balms: Store Locator
In order to share in the celebration, we thought we would take you on a quick trip along the steps it takes to create a simple, all-natural and kosher product such as our yummy lip balms.
Step 1: Finding nature's secrets
The concept of adding a protective layer to the lips has been around for 100 of years, yet in recent times we have begun to complicate this very simple need. Before creating NOYA, we found that most balms had a long list of ingredients in them, each requiring hours of laborious research just to find out a) what they are and b) what they do. Finally we thought to ourselves: there must be a simpler, more natural way to nourish and protect the lips, and that is when the idea behind NOYA lip balms was born. It wasn't easy to find just the right textures and ingredients to work with, but finally we settled on the three main components of NOYA balms: extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, and beeswax. (Check out our NOYA Lip Balm Series for a description on why we selected each of the ingredients we use!)
Step 2: Finding a balance
Once the ingredients were settled on, it took extensive work just to finalize the right balance and combination to create a formula that's light yet extremely hydrating and non-greasy but substantial enough to last through hot coffee sips and late night kisses 😉 Plus, we wanted the balms to be a little more fun than your standard lip product and have a taste that's irresistible! We chose to use all-natural Stevia to add some yumminess to two of our balms, the Cherry and Vanilla along with all-natural flavoring. After multiple trial and errors, we came up with a Vanilla flavor to rival the sweetest of cupcakes, and a cherry that's a tangy dance on your taste buds. The Mint was a bit tricky, but we think we balanced our spearmint balm to be a perfect, cooling minty sweet goodness that perks you up while moistening your lips. Lastly our Classic lip balm is a simple, no nonsense flavorless lip balm meant for the purists among you! It has only three ingredients and as far as we know is literally the simplest, purest lip balm there is on the market! If nature itself were to create a lip balm, this might be it. 🙂
Step 3: Perfecting the packaging
The original NOYA lip balm tubes were bright and colorful! Hard to believe, but we had a completely different, crayon box inspired look in mind for our NOYA brand. The packing itself was going to be bright and full of colors as well, but after hours of back-breaking work by a design team, (and some sleepless, caffeine-infused nights for us) the colors slowly melted off. We felt that a more modern edge to our packaging conveyed our brand's mission of a simple and natural lip care line more than the bright, vivid packaging ever could. Even our signature splash of water design went from being a monsoon-sized graphic eating up the packaging to a more demure, eye-friendly wave.
What's up next for NOYA's creative team? Perhaps a line of completely biodegradable packaging? Hmm… 🙂
These are just three of the unexpected and fun aspects of creating a lip care line. A lot of time, we had to work off the cuff and experiment with new flavors or create completely novel ways of packaging our lip balms. And we aren't done yet! Our team is already researching ingredients for new products, and we promise to keep you posted. Stay tuned! And as always, live divinely.

Image: YouTube/Star Trek New Voyages
Star Trek fans are some of the most creative fans out there, exemplified by everything from their cosplay costuming to the fact that some create entire Trek episodes themselves to put on the internet. There is more fan fiction than actual episodes and some of the fan-made videos are arguably better thought out than the big-budget movies. It's no wonder, then, that CBS and Star Trek New Voyages would team up to give fans the opportunity of a lifetime: to learn from their favorite filmmakers and produce their own Trek fan film alongside people who worked on the actual productions.
This new project, the Star Trek Film Academy, was announced by New Voyages producer James Cawley at the Star Trek Las Vegas Convention, on Aug. 5. There will be a few scripts for fans to choose from when it comes to making their own film, and will likely have to trek to Ticonderoga, New York - the location of the New Voyages sets which have now been coverted to a museum. According to ARS Technica, fans will be able to begin making their own films in the fall, with finished products released in the spring. It's expected that there will be two sessions per year.
CBS and Paramount are notorious for recent attempts to put the kibosh on fan-made productions, citing copyright violations to just about anything in the Star Trek universe from the Klingon language to prosthetics. While the recent Prelude to Axanar kerfuffle may have discouraged film-savvy Trekkies from embarking on their own mission aboard the Enterprise, this new Fan Film Academy may be a beacon of hope.

In 1966 two mathematicians published a paper titled "Recognizing the Maximum of a Sequence", proving that dating in New York is a hell of a lot tougher than it is in Ames, Iowa. Psychology Today's below...
The rule proven by math experts John P. Gilbert and Frederick Mosteller is pretty simple: We reject the first 37% of all dating candidates and then choose the first candidate who was better than the one before it. Your chances of choosing the best candidate (or husband) are considered most optimal using this method. And those chances are only 37 percent. And to make matters worse, evolutionary science has established that it is the female who chooses the male. Depressing, right?
What does that mean for the single, spouse-hunting New York girl?
Take a look at some averages. Let's say the typical New York woman meets 1,000 men in her lifetime (or, if she's got a healthy social life, in a couple years). Using this math rule, she will reject the first 369 men who cross her path before finally settling on the first man who comes along who is better than all those who came before him.
That number seems daunting when you consider that she may have to meet a lot more men before she finds one who is better than those before him. And she must first determine that those 369 men are bad candidates.
Remember, in order to determine who the first man is who is better than all the ones who came before, you have to evaluate each of your dates very carefully. It's not like you can just hang up on the phone calls or delete the email messages from the first 37% of the suitors. You actually have to go on dates and talk to them and evaluate how good they are (even though you know that you will automatically reject the first 369 men). So you have to go on at least 369 separate dates in New York before you can even begin to consider each candidate seriously for marriage.
In other words, she can't just spill champagne on 369 dudes at the (nightclub formerly known as the) Boom Boom Room and expect Prince Charming to haul her onto the dance floor.
The author of this article used a similar dating scenario in Ames, Iowa, to illustrate how much better one's odds are when she or he leaves New York.
In the Great American Breadbasket, Sally Single might only have to vet ten men on average before the finds the best candidate. For those who aren't mathematically inclined, ten is far fewer than 369.
Keep in mind that this is proven to be the best formula for choosing a mate no matter where you are.
And I am now booking a one-way, non-stop flight to the middle of Iowa. (Not really.)

The best way to treat a stomach virus is through taking plenty of fluids because its main risk is dehydration. Having a healthy diet and enough rest will also help in treating the condition. A person can use medication to treat a stomach virus, but he or she should only do so after consulting a doctor.
If one has this condition, the body usually needs enough rest to fight the virus. Reducing the amount of daily activities and getting enough sleep are quite necessary. Taking a lot of fluids is essential, especially if one is throwing up regularly. Clear liquids, such as water, are the best to consume. A patient should avoid drinking beverages, alcohol and soda as they tend to upset the stomach. Eating healthily is also crucial in treating a stomach virus. Foods to avoid include high-fat foods, dairy foods and spicy foods.
This condition is called gastroenteritis, though it is commonly known as stomach flu or stomach virus. It is usually confused with flu or influenza. The stomach virus is a condition that affects the small intestine and the stomach. It can take 2 to 3 days for this condition to get better, as stated by Brown University. This condition can be prevented by practicing good hygiene.

Professor Julia Ott directs the interdisciplinary Robert L. Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies at the New School. In the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown, a number of programs to study capitalism have emerged, from Harvard to the University of Georgia. University presses have followed suit, producing new work fundamental to understanding our current crisis. Here are five crucial contributions.
The Costs of Luxury in Early America
by Jennifer L. Anderson
Harvard University
Press, 2012
Buy this book
You've seen the musical—now enter Alexander Hamilton's material world. In Mahogany, Anderson invites us inside the founding fathers' surroundings, in which luminous objects made of silk, silver, and mahogany were featured.
The "consumer revolution" of the mid-18th century is as central to capitalism as the Industrial Revolution that followed. In the West, Europeans gained access to more goods than ever by exploiting slave labor. Venturing forth from the British West Indies (much like Hamilton himself), Anderson's account blends ecological, labor, cultural, and imperial history.
Hidden Costs and the Decline of the American Middle Class
by Devin Fergus
Oxford University Press, 2017 (forthcoming)
Buy this book
Debt stands between millions of Americans and their dreams of economic security. Land of the Fee reveals a hidden system of charges that keeps Americans from getting out of it.
Fergus fingers a predatory system that makes it unnecessarily expensive to work, educate, own, and live. In many industries, lobbyists have worked to dismantle consumer protections, resulting in surreptitious fees—often waived for those who can afford them, and targeting communities that can't—which have become the norm for American banks, insurers, airlines, colleges, and universities.

Ah, I've been waiting for this one to come out. Mark Ryden's newest Micro Portfolio will feature fifteen 5″ x 6.5″ postcards depicting paintings from The Tree Show. At only $12.95 for the set, this is pretty much a must-purchase, a perfect entry into Ryden's mind-blowing imagery. These go up today (Thursday, April 16th) at 8am PST. Visit PorterhouseArt.com.
11 Responses to "Mark Ryden's "Micro Portfolio 5 – The Tree Show""
i'm the happiest girl in the world – a ryden microportfolio that i don't have to break the bank on
so are these gone now?
Looks like it's out of stock right now, but I'd imagine that this will be an open run.
these sell out on last gasp too? I check about 8:30 pst and after adding to cart it said out of stock
I am pretty sure it hasn't gone up on Last Gasp yet….just the "place holder" right now….
Open run or limited? THeres no word on that.
My guess is "limited" in some respect, like 20,000 or something in the first printing, but probably will be reprinted once those sell out like most of Last Gasp stuff
lastgasp still has them. just ordered one.
They are due to arrive at our warehouse this week, most likely, and will begin shipping next week (after 4/27). There are a lot of orders, so expect a bit of a delay if you were not one of the first to order it. We'll do our best to get them out to you all. I've seen an advance copy and the set looks great. The first printing is 10,000 copies, and a reprint is possible. Please ask your local independent retailer to stock this and other books by Mark Ryden.

Western Cape DestinationsEdgemead, Northern Suburbs
The residential suburb of Edgemead that lies at the foot of the Tygerberg hills to the north of the centre of Cape Town is regarded as a suburb of Bellville.
The leafy village is only 20 km from town and has easy access to the N1, making it a sought after suburb for residents of Cape Town, and a popular place to stay, particularly as it lies so close to the Durbanville Wine Route, fast becoming one of South Africas top wine districts.
Edgemead may have had humble beginnings as a suburb with affordable housing for first-time buyers, during the 1970s, but today it is a sought after neighbourhood in an area that has benefited from initial controls in the title deeds that included no overhead telephone or electricity wires and no trees removed without permission. Even advertising was strictly controlled, with the effect that today this is a green, garden suburb with open spaces and sought after properties, particularly as investment opportunities.
Grand West Casino, in Goodwood, is a major draw card to Edgemead. The world-class casino has been designed in the style of historical Cape Town with a childrens entertainment centre, an Olympic size ice rink and a variety of restaurants, pubs, clubs and shops.
And Tygervalley and Canal Walk - both easy destinations from Edgemead - make this an exciting shopping destination, and place retail at the centre of a visit to Cape Town - an exhilarating venture in this retail heart of Cape Town.

We've had a wonderful year linking up and sharing free motion quilting triumphs and tribulations, working through projects big and small, and sorting out everything from a puckering quilt top to a ugly stitches.
I consider the Free Motion Quilt Along to be a wonderful success because not only have you guys learned a whole lot, I've learned loads about teaching on video and sharing more effectively here online.
In case you'd like to see a "before" and "after" for me, all you have to look at is this video from last year:
So we've all learned a lot and grown this year as quilters! Now let's link up and see some "before" and "after" shots from everyone that has quilted along this year:
Now you might be wondering what is to come in 2013. Rest assured, you will still find a wonderful place to link up and share your quilting progress here each week.
But a few things will change:
- Free Motion Quilt Along will now be linking up on Fridays to become Free Motion Quilting Friday (FMQF).
- We're no longer going to stick to a lesson format. On Fridays, I'd like you to link up with ANYTHING you have free motion quilted in the past week. I'm hoping many more quilters will jump into sharing, even longarmers because we would all enjoy seeing a lot more quilting in real quilts!
- The last point rolls nicely into this one - we will be having many more videos! I want to branch out with a lot more techniques and fun new designs and these will be posted a lot more often during the week.
I'm wanting to free myself from the stress of being a perfect teacher (impossible goal anyway), and instead move into the role of mad quilting scientist - I want to experiment with weird materials, paints, dye, multiple fibers, and of course, loads of new designs.
In fact, I think it's high time I set a new design goal to work towards here on the Free Motion Quilting Project. How about 1000? It might take 5 years, it might take 10, but one day we will reach 1000 designs!
So understand that I don't expect you to follow along perfectly with me in 2013. I want you to try out designs and techniques as YOU see fit, as it works with your life and the quilts you're working through.
During this process, I'm going to be working on Express Your Love, a beautiful goddess quilt that is hopefully going to combine my love for teaching, self improvement, and experimental quilting all at the same time.
This is going to be a wonderful year of learning, sharing, and exploring the wonderful world of quilting! I can't wait to get started!
But we still have a few more days of this year to go, and this is always my favorite time to work through a big project. I'm off to finish outlining Duchess Reigns and I'll see you again on UFO Sunday!
Let's go quilt,
Leah Day

About Rickenbacker:
Rickenbacker is a name that is absolutely revered among musicians. With their distinct tone and shape, these instruments have become sought after by artists and collectors around the world for over half a century. Loaded with history, Rickenbackers are truly special instruments that have an important place in popular music.
Of course, one can't say Rickenbacker without the iconic "Rickenbacker Sound" coming to mind. First rising to prominence with the Beatles in 1964, the Rickenbacker's jangly tone quickly caught on with the likes of the Who, the Byrds, and more. Just like that, a legend was born.
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers led the Rickenbacker charge throughout the late 70s, using the instruments to help make the early Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker records instant classics. Even today, artists like Stevie Van Zandt, Jay Ferguson, Robin Zander, Jesse Lacey, Carrie Brownstein, Laura Jane Grace, Dwight Yokum, and more all rely on the hi-gain chime and shine of Rickenbacker guitars to help their sounds stand out from the pack.
Of course, Rickenbacker also makes some absolutely thunderous bass guitars. As a matter of fact, Rickenbacker bass guitars are the only ones that Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead uses on stage as well as in the studio. With a seemingly endless string of world famous players making their mark with a Rickenbacker, it's no wonder that they've landed in a class all their own.
So which Rickenbacker is right for you? Well, that depends. Are you after a bass? Then check out the 4003 Bass. Maybe you'd rather play the guitar? Then strap into the 360 Electric Guitar. If you'd rather a 12 string guitar for maximum chime, then the 360/12C63 C Series 12-String Electric Guitar might be right up your alley. Whichever Rickenbacker you choose, one thing is for certain, you're going to sound amazing.
Take some time to think about the features that you love, and in no time flat you'll find the Rickenbacker that is right for you. And once you do, you'll wonder why it took you so long to experience the Rickenbacker Sound for yourself.

Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of passive electronic components or failure before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g. because they are classed as "hazardous"). Useful information on this will be found in our Material Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more detailed questions, please contact our sales offices. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product specifications.

First pic is of all the boards I've built in the last 2 days. 2nd pic is walnut and birch with a curved birch strip in the middle of the walnut. Birch strip is also endgrain. This one was made to match a walnut and tiger maple cheese board I made a few days ago. 3rd pic is walnut and cherry with zigzags. 4th pic is just a random pattern I threw together with walnut, cherry, and birch with a juice groove. Glue lines are a bit off on that one. I'm usually very careful during glue up, I didn't even notice until I started sanding, but I guess it can happen to anybody. 5th pic is another zigzag, also walnut and cherry with a juice groove. Thanks for looking.

Quick Reference
Frenchscientist and statesman. With the French physicist Augustin Jean Fresnel (1788–1827), he established the wave theory of light and studied its polarization. In 1811 he invented the polariscope for measuring the degree of polarization of light. This instrument allows light from solid and fluid surfaces to be distinguished, and Arago used it in several astronomical studies. One was an extensive study of the total solar eclipse of 1842, in which he determined that the Sun's limb is gaseous, and examined polarized light from the chromosphere and corona.
Subjects: Astronomy and Astrophysics.

About Us
The Second World War was a caesura for the history of the square. Although some buildings were spared from destruction, the buildings Platzl 2 and 3 are considered some of the Munich's oldest remaining residential buildings, still with the famous "Ohrwaschel", which are asymmetrically installed small roof additions for the crane. These are, together with the corner building Platzl/Pfisterstraße, typical Munich "Zinshäuser" which are apartment buildings where several parties lived on different floors. In this case, there is an additional angled complex of different centre and back buildings, which were connected with "Platzl Alleys" that were created a few years ago.
Platzl Hotel since 1956 in the heart of Munich
But the Pfistermühle, Platzl stage, and the apartment buildings at Münzstraße had major damages. The Platzl had to be closed on November 5, 1951, because of disrepair.The owners of the Aying Brewery, Franz and Maria Kreszenz Inselkammerbraved the deciding step and purchased a share in the Platzl. At the time, this was a very high risk for the country brewery that was small back then, because Platzl's future was no longer said to be great.
No Munich entrepreneur wanted to take the risk of rebuilding. But the Inselkammer couple was successful, and in Spring 1953, the Platzl was in business again. In 1956, it was followed by the "Platzl Hotel". In 1986, the old Platzl was replaced by a new construction that opened its doors in 1988.
Restaurant Pfistermühle, Crossbow Tent, Wirtshaus Ayingers and Platzl Alleys
Back then, the restaurant, Pfistermühle, was also remodelled. In 1990, Peter Inselkammer became the Host at the Octoberfest and took over "Crossbow Tent". The latest acquisition following the opening of the Wirtshaus Ayingers in the year 2000 were the Platzl Alleys.

Dan Joseph with MRCTV visited the George Mason University campus in Fairfax, Virginia and asked numerous students basic questions about the U.S. Supreme Court. He asked students what its function was and whether they could provide some of the names of Supreme Court justices. Many of them were not familiar with it or what its purpose was.
One student responded, "The job of the Supreme Court? Umm…I know something about the checks and balances that it does?"
In response to the same question, another student said, "I mean, I know that the state and the Supreme Court should, like, give back to the community, like, I was just in Government 490 right now." Joseph clarified, "So, give back to the –" and the student finished his sentence with a nod of assurance, " – community."
Trending: Science is Settled
When asked if they could name a Supreme Court justice, one student answered, "There's the one woman," to which Joseph corrected, saying, "There are actually three women." The student laughed and said, "There's that really old lady."
Another student responded, "Other than Scalia that just died? Probably not."
"Can you name one that's currently living?" asked Joseph to another university student. "Uhh, not off the top of my head, no," he replied.
Another said, "I don't really know much about the courts." Later in the video, when asked about a replacement for Justice Scalia, this same student replied that either Judge Judy or Judge Brown – of reality court show fame – would make a good replacement for the deceased Justice. "They'd both do a much better job than Donald Trump would or probably, possibly Obama any day," he added.
A girl couldn't name a single Supreme Court justice, saying that she wasn't "really up to date." "Okay, that's all right," Joseph joked. "I mean, they're only there on the court…forever. So, it's no big deal."
The same student in the GOVT 490 class who said that the Supreme Court was supposed to "give back to the community" also wasn't able to name a Supreme Court justice, because "that's not really my area of expertise."
Take a look for yourself:
Remember, these people vote. Sometimes more than once.

Many great writers ask year after year, "Why is it so hard to get published?'' In many cases, these writers have spent years—and possibly thousands of dollars on books and courses—developing their craft. They submit to the appropriate markets, yet rejection is always the end result. The culprit? A weak query letter.
The query letter is often the most important piece of the publishing puzzle. In many cases, it determines whether an editor or agent will even read your manuscript. A good query letter makes a good first impression; a bad query letter earns a swift rejection.
The elements of a query letter
A query letter should sell editors or agents on your idea or convince them to request your finished manuscript. The most effective query letters get into the specifics from the very first line. It's important to remember that the query is a call to action, not a listing of features and benefits.
In addition to selling your idea or manuscript, a query letter can include information on the availability of photographs or artwork. You can include a working title and projected word count. Depending on the piece, you might also mention whether a sidebar might be appropriate and the type of research you plan to conduct. If appropriate, include a tentative deadline and indicate whether the query is being simultaneously submitted.
Biographical information should be included as well, but don't overdo it unless your background actually helps sell the article or proves that you're the only person who could write your proposed piece.
Things to avoid in a query letter
The query letter is not a place to discuss pay rates. This step comes after an editor has agreed to take on your article or book. Besides making an unprofessional impression on an editor, it can also work to your disadvantage in negotiating your fee. If you ask for too much, an editor may not even contact you to see if a lower rate might work. If you ask for too little, you may start an editorial relationship where you are making far less than the normal rate.
You should also avoid rookie mistakes, such as mentioning that your work is copyrighted or including the copyright symbol on your work. While you want to make it clear that you've researched the market, avoid using flattery as a technique for selling your work. It often has the opposite effect of what you intend. In addition, don't hint that you can rewrite the piece, as this only leads the editor to think there will be a lot of work involved in
shaping up your writing.
Also, never admit several other editors or agents have rejected the query. Always treat your new audience as if they are the first place on your list of submission possibilities.

August 2007

Author's Note: And the bunnies keep breeding… started minutes after I finished my 2nd fic…
Summary: Tommy receives Kimberly's letter in "No Business Like Snow Business", Kimberly's mother receives a phone call from her daughter and Jason is thrown into the middle of it as something seems suspicious and the letter is out of character for Kimberly...
Divine Intervention
The jangle of the phone woke Jason Lee Scott from a deep sleep. He groaned, rolling over to look at the clock and trying to focus. He squinted at the glowing numbers, letting out a muttered curse as he realized the time.
Three in the morning. Who called him at three in the morning?
The phone jangled again, insistently - stubbornly - calling him from an untroubled sleep and refusing to let him slip back into it. He threw back the covers and pushed from his bed. He should have put a phone in his bedroom. Padding on silent feet, he stepped into the hallway and pulled the phone off the hook. "Somebody better be dying."
He blinked, surprised by the voice on the other end. "Mrs. Hart?" Kimberly's mother? Why was Kimberly's mother calling him at three in the morning? What could possibly be so important that – his brain finally caught up with his thoughts – oh yeah; she was in France. "What can I do for you?"
"I didn't wake you, did I?"
"It's three in the morning, Mrs. Hart - I'm usually sleeping at this hour."
"Jason, I'm terribly sorry, but this couldn't wait."
Obviously. He rubbed his forehead, leaning against the wall as he struggled to wake his mind up to deal with his friend's mother. He hadn't even known she had his phone number - or why. The only connected he had with her was her daughter. "Has something happened to Kimberly?"
"Then you know?"
He blinked. "Know what?"
"That Kimberly broke up with Tommy?"
Jason straightened, his eyes flying open and his brain kicking into over drive. Kim had broken up with Tommy? Not in this lifetime. "No way."
"It's true!" Mrs. Hart's agitation was finally working its way clearly into Jason's waking mind. "She called me to let me know all about her new boyfriend."
"Is she happy?" Jason knew Tommy wouldn't be. His friend had adored Kimberly, treating her like the princess he believed her to be. Tommy was going to take it hard.
"That's the problem and why this couldn't wait. I'm sorry for calling you so early, Jason, but I'd like you to talk to her about this decision. Call it mother's intuition, but something is wrong here. Kimberly didn't sound as excited about this new beau as she has about Tommy. There's something missing from her voice."
"Uh, Mrs. Hart, Kimberly won't like me messing in her personal life." And neither would Tommy. "If Kimberly's making a mistake, isn't it hers to make?"
"I'm trying to prevent either of them from being seriously hurt by all of this. I happen to like Tommy and he's proven to be good for her. This new beau sounds to be overly controlling."
"Controlling? Of Kimberly?"
"She's talking about dropping out of her Gymnastics before the competition so she can see the world with him."
Kim giving up gymnastics for some guy? Jason felt a cold silver of fear slide down his spine. If Kimberly had broken up with Tommy because of another guy, was it possible it was because she'd been enspelled to? That someone or something was controlling her in an effort to take the White Ranger out of commission? He checked the time. Three fifteen. "I'll see her this morning, Mrs. Hart - I'll talk to her then."
"Oh, Jason, thank you! I would, but being half-way across the world... well... it's just not the same as face to face. I trust you'll meet her new beau and judge for yourself?"
"I'll see what I can do; both Tommy and Kimberly are my friends, Mrs. Hart, I don't want to see either hurt."
"Will you call me when you know?"
Jason assured her he would and took down her phone number before hanging up his phone. He stared at it, his mind reeling with the revelation. Kimberly had broken up with Tommy. He didn't believe it. Kimberly still talked non-stop about him and his letters - and about Christmas. The mistletoe, the party and the Power Rangers all pitching in to help – she gushed about Tommy's gift to her and never took it off.
How could she do such an abrupt about-face - just last week before she'd been trying to talk him into another visit to Angel Grove to see everyone - and the way she said it, Jason had known she'd meant Tommy. He shook his head. He was happy for his friends. Kim was one of the few people who could understand what Tommy went through on a daily basis - and the only other Ranger to have forcibly lost her powers. Their whole relationship was supportive of one another, bonds that couldn't be broken - only Kim had. Why?
He looked at the clock again, making a face. He was awake now and no amount of trying was going to let him sleep. He headed back to his bedroom to find it communicator - Billy had made it for him last Christmas as a way to keep in touch - and made a firm decision.
Whatever was happening, he was going to get to the bottom of it. But he would need the help of those who still had the ability to assist Kimberly better than he did if she were indeed under some kind of spell.

Branding covers a lot of ground. Logo designs, social media banners, business cards, and pretty much anything that gives your business a beautifully consistent feel, fall under this umbrella.
Even in the digital age, people still like a tangible connection to your business. This usually comes in the form of a slick business card, letterhead, or flyer, which are some of my favorite things to design.
The visual representation of your business is important, but it is merely fluff if you don't have a strong message behind it. Allow me to provide written materials that represent your brand's vision.
Web Design
WordPress, Squarespace, and other online platforms make building a website easier than ever, but there is still a learning curve and creative process involved. If you don't have the time, hand it over to me!
Don't go into that meeting with the same boring templates! I will customize a presentation to your unique needs. Blow everyone away in the boardroom with your ideas presented beautifully.
English Language Proofreading
Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors look unprofessional in any language. If your business is trying to enter the English-speaking market, it pays to have a native speaker edit your content.
Don't be in the majority of businesses that miss the mark on SEO! From constructing an effective hierarchy of internal links to building backlinks, I'll make sure you rise above your competitors in search engine results.
Content Writing
Are you ready to launch a blog but lacking engaging content? I can provide you with blog posts and other engaging content that will draw visitors in. Don't go online with a skeletal website!
Ghost Writing
Not everyone has time for doing a long-form project on their own, and there are some people out there with great stories that can't write them. Ghosts come in real handy for situations like these.

Liliana Hart has done it again! This latest instalment in her Gravediggers series is fantastic. I want to be Miller Darling. She reminds me of Joan Wilder who was my role model. I love Miller's spunk, her dedication to her work, the fact that she puts in so much research and more than that I admired her for the strong bond she had with both her best friend and her absentee brother. She never tried to be anything other than herself and it was so refreshing to see that she saw her flaws and her fine attributes and was happy with herself. Elias Cole was such a complicated man, a man who worried about the possibility of hurting someone if he got in too deep and I loved how we the readers got to see that it was already too late the moment he walked away he was already in too deep. I loved the lighthearted feel to this story, while it was as intense and as action filled as the first, maybe even a little more action filled Miller's easy attitude went a long way in making everything seem more like a grand Lark even though she still took everything completely seriously. I cannot wait to read the next in this series to see if the author can surprise me with a new twist or feel. But one thing is for sure I'm positive it will live up to my expectations because this one definitely did. If you haven't read The Gravediggers yet, trust me pick them up, you'll love them.
The Story: Miller Darling is a bestselling author in a deadline daze, but if anything can bring her back to reality it's finding her brother's severed finger in her mail and dealing with the sexy man who has been haunting her since the night he lit her fuse and walked away. Now she must go off into the wild unknown with a man she can't control herself around, rescue her brother and meet her deadline all while dodging dangerous criminals.
The Gravediggers aren't exactly what they seem. They're the most elite of the world's fighting forces—and all they have in common is that they've been betrayed by the countries they've died for. Because they are dead. To their country, their military, and their families.
Sometimes the dead do rise....
Miller Darling is one of the most popular romance novelists of her time. Not bad for a woman who doesn't believe in romance. She's as logical as they come, and she doesn't believe in happily-ever-afters. What she does believe in is family, so when her brother disappears, she doesn't think twice about packing her bag and her laptop and heading out to find him.
Elias Cole lived and breathed the life of a Navy SEAL. Now he's "dead" and his hero's honor tarnished. The only thing keeping him sane are the men who are like him—The Gravediggers—and the woman who makes his head spin. He's never met anyone like Miller Darling. Her smart mouth and quick wit keep him on his toes, and damned if he doesn't find that appealing.
When Miller receives a package from the brother who abandoned her asking for help, it's clear she's in over her head with the mess he's gotten himself into. She needs a professional, and Elias is just the man for the job. Only her brother is a former SEAL—the man who left his team to die—and Elias is more interested in vengeance than saving his life.

General Motors Co. hasn't ruled out making changes to the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid's lithium- ion battery, Mary Barra, senior vice president of global product development, told reporters in Detroit.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating the Volt to find the cause of three fires that occurred in the car's battery pack in the weeks following separate collision tests. GM is working with NHTSA to find the cause and determine if a fix is needed.
"If we learn from this process and have to make changes in the field, we will," Barra said. "If it's something that we feel is important to the safety of the vehicle, we'll find a way to do it."
GM has offered loaner cars or will buy back Volts from concerned owners if they feel the cars are unsafe. GM has made the Volt one of the centerpieces of its U.S. marketing.
If a Volt owner wants the automaker to repurchase the car, "we'll have a conversation," Barra said. "If we get to a point where we think it's the right thing to do, we will put the customer first and that's what we will do."
The automaker has said it developed a procedure to handle the car's battery after an accident.
A Volt caught fire three weeks after a side-impact crash test May 12 while parked at a NHTSA testing center in Wisconsin, leading regulators to conduct more tests. Volt battery packs were damaged in three more tests in November, causing two fires, NHTSA said Nov. 25 in a statement on its website.
Volt's Range
NHTSA isn't investigating the Nissan Motor Co.'s Leaf or Tesla Motors Inc.'s Roadster, both of which have lithium-ion batteries.
The Volt can go about 40 miles on electricity before its gasoline engine kicks in and powers a generator, which recharges the battery. It has a range of 379 miles with electric and gasoline power combined. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last year estimated the Volt would average 60 miles per gallon in combined gasoline-electric driving, compared with 50 mpg for Toyota Motor Corp.'s Prius.
The Volt's range is about four times what Nissan's Leaf electric car travels on a single charge.
The Volt has been on the market for a year and went on sale in all 50 states in October. In January, GM plans to boost production to 60,000 a year from a rate of 10,000 annually. GM sold 6,142 Volts this year through November.
GM rose 2.4 percent to $21.46 at 2:46 p.m. New York time.

Obtained from: Personal Library
Read: October 7, 2012
This superbly factual account of the life and death of Austria's Prince Rudolph reads like a fast-paced thriller. The colorful and controversial Prince--the last and most talented of the Hapsburg line--was discovered dead on January 30, 1889, in the royal hunting lodge at Mayerling. Beside him, also dead, lay his mistress, the beautiful young Baroness Mary Vetsera. What happened that day remains a mystery that has evoked endless speculation and countless dramatic re-creations--none more engrossing and entertaining than Barkeley's vivid telling.
════════════════════════════ ❧ ════════════════════════════
|Crown Prince Rudolph
A product of the times, The Road to Mayerling omits and/or downplays many of Rudolph's short-comings. Maybe it is just me, but I seriously doubt that his political and personal situations were as simple and one-sided as Berkeley portrays them here. While I loved the political analysis of the period and the extensive translation of Rudolph's personal correspondence, I am far from convinced by the author's conclusions.
The book is probably the most complete examination of Rudolph available to American readers, but having been published in 1958, I can guarantee it lags far behind the multitude of more recent German language publications.
Worthwhile reading, but like so many things, The Road to Mayerling must be taken with a grain of salt.
════════════════════════════ ❧ ════════════════════════════
"Out of the darkness which surrounds us... from the night of reaction, may we at last awake to the dawn of a better time in which our ideals will be victorious. First let us free ourselves from the grip of pessimism which is tantamount to submission to fate and to the loss of self-confidence. Let us always be aware that better times must come, when we shall have to answer for those principles to which we have devoted our lives."

Inside Mac OS X 10.7 Lion: Apple drops FTP, adds WebDAV file sharing for iOS
Changes in Mac OS X Server file sharing
Apple has billed its Mac OS X Server product as "open source made easy," rolling together a variety of standard Unix services and open source projects and integrating them within an approachable, graphical interface in Server Admin.
With the release of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Apple created two interfaces for Server: the ultra simple Server Preferences, which made configuring services as easy as setting options in System Preferences, and the more complex but powerful Server Admin (below).
In Lion Server, Apple has greatly enhanced Server Preferences and renamed the app simply Server. Rather than being a simplistic set of preference panels, the app has transformed into what appears to be a toned down Server Admin, with an interface reminiscent of iTunes or the Finder.
Apple also appears to have removed much of the duplicated overlap in functionality between Server Preferences and Server Admin, relegating all file system and many other user-facing services (including web, instant messaging, and contact, calendar and wiki services) to the new Server app while leaving only network and backend services (such as DNS, DHCP, Xgrid, and more complex Mail settings) to the more technically inclined Server Admin.
Formerly, configuring file sharing on Mac OS X Server involved turning on individual services (AFP, FTP, SMB or Sun's NFS), then configuring shared folders under the Sharepoint tab of each service. In Lion Server, Server Admin is no longer even used to set up file sharing. Instead, it's simply a matter of defining a folder and checking boxes for AFP or SMB support, just like a desktop Mac.

Valkyria Chronicles is getting a much-needed rerelease…..in Japan, anyway. Sega has put out a new trailer for the game hyping its impending console jump to the Playstation 4.
You might be wondering if there's going to be any real difference (they can't "remaster it in HD" since the original PS3 game was in HD). Well, Sega says they'll be enhancing the visuals by utilizing the more powerful PS4 hardware. They'll also include all the DLC you had to originally buy separately, and add trophy support. The important thing is to make the first Valkyria game easier to find for anyone who hasn't played this game yet.
And Sega has an ulterior motive: they'll be releasing a brand-new chapter in the Valkyria series with Valkyria: Azure Revolution, and it would help sales if more people were familiar with the series. And to entice those who have already played the game, the remaster will include a Valkyria: Azure Revolution demo!
For now, this release is only scheduled for Japan. We'll just have to watch the new trailer and dream.

Italy crisis: PM Letta battles for parliament support
Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta is battling to rescue his coalition after five ministers loyal to former PM Silvio Berlusconi pulled out.
A confidence vote will be held in parliament on Wednesday.
Tensions are running high between Mr Letta's centre-left grouping and Mr Berlusconi's centre-right party.
Jitters about Italy's economic reforms hit government borrowing and shares. The Milan stock market fell almost 2% and the interest rate on bonds rose.
The current coalition government was put together with difficulty after inconclusive elections in February. Italy's economy, the eurozone's third-largest, is struggling to achieve any growth and Mr Letta is trying to push through unpopular austerity measures.
The government's debt burden has grown to about two trillion euros (£1.7tn; $2.7tn). It reached 127% of total national output (GDP) in 2012 and is forecast to go above 130% this year.
Political uncertainty
Berlusconi pulled his five ministers out of the administration on Saturday. He has attacked the government's failure to prevent a rise in VAT (sales tax) to 22%.
But those ministers have now given mixed signals as to whether they are actually leaving the government.
After meeting the prime minister, President Giorgio Napolitano said the rebel ministers' equivocation had led to a "climate of evident uncertainty regarding possible developments".
Because of that, Mr Letta would go before parliament to see "what could be done".
Mr Letta clearly believes his centre-left grouping, led by the Democratic Party (PD), still has a chance of attracting enough support in parliament to continue in government, says the BBC's Alan Johnston in Rome.
The crisis follows weeks of worsening ties between Berlusconi's party and Mr Letta's grouping.
Berlusconi's legal problems have cast a long shadow over the coalition, with the former PM threatening to undermine it if he was expelled from the Senate for tax fraud.
A committee of the Senate is due to decide on his expulsion this week after the Supreme Court recently upheld his conviction.
Mr Letta warned late on Friday that he would resign unless his coalition cabinet won a confidence vote.
But Berlusconi pre-empted that, describing Mr Letta's comments as "unacceptable". He later said all five ministers of his People of Freedom (PDL) party were resigning.
However, most of the five ministers appeared to challenge the former prime minister's order to leave the coalition.
"I thoroughly understand his state of mind, but I cannot justify or share the strategy," said Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin. Reforms Minister Gaetano Quagliarello and Transport Minister Maurizio Lupi also appeared reluctant to pull out of the cabinet.
"We want to stay with Berlusconi but not his poor advisers," Mr Lupi said.
Mr Letta had responded angrily to Saturday's resignations, accusing the PDL leader of telling Italians a "huge lie" in using the sales tax as an "alibi" for his own personal concerns.
The February election failed to produce a clear majority for centre-left or centre-right.
The narrow victory for the centre-left, led by the PD, gave it 55% of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies automatically.
But in the Senate there is no automatic majority. There the difference is just a few seats - and the government needs to control the Senate to rule effectively.

Watch Al Pacino's "Say Hello to My Little Friend" Outtakes from the 'Scarface' Blu-ray
While all the talk online this week has surrounded what George Lucas is and isn't adding to the upcoming Star Wars Blu-rays, there are other Blu-rays arriving in the month of September, too. Like the Blu-ray for Scarface, starring Al Pacino as that guy who screams out "Say hell to my little friend" as he blows up his enemies with automatic weapons in a fit of rage. You may have noticed this scene highlighted on those posters hanging up in your friend's dorm room.
In advance of the Blu-ray release, Universal Home Entertainment has released a fun little behind-the-scenes clip featuring several outtakes of Pacino reciting that iconic line. All of the outtakes build to the one they actually used in the film. It's a pretty cool way of showcasing the different versions of that moment, and one I'd like to see from more films when they hit Blu-ray.

This was the world of medicine when Thomas Dent Mütter began his trailblazing career as a plastic surgeon in Philadelphia during the middle of the nineteenth century.Although he died at just forty-eight, Mütter was an audacious medical innovator who pioneered the use of ether as anesthesia, the sterilization of surgical tools, and a compassion-based vision for helping the severely deformed, which clashed spectacularly with the sentiments of his time.Brilliant, outspoken, and brazenly handsome, Mütter was flamboyant in every aspect of his life. He wore pink silk suits to perform surgery, added an umlaut to his last name just because he could, and...
