LAS VEGAS, Nev.—The Las Vegas Wranglers, the winningest team in ECHL history and an affiliate of the Phoenix Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL), announced they have signed UMass Boston defenseman Rob Florentino (West Roxbury, Mass.).
Florentino, a three-year member of the Beacons men's hockey team, becomes the first player under head coach Peter Belisle to sign with an ECHL team directly out of college. The Beacons have sent a handful of players to professional leagues during Belisle's seven seasons, including Bill Baker (Huntsville Havoc), Matt Atsoff (Augusta RiverHawks) and Gentry Zollars (Wheeling Nailers).
"We tell kids all the time that you can play pro hockey out of Divison III, but you've got to be the best in Division III to have that opportunity," Belisle said. "I think Rob Florentino was one of the best at his position in the nation and he's getting a great opportunity to play pro hockey."
"It's awesome for Rob and it's great exposure for our program. If we can have All-League, All-American type kids we can move them on to the next level, that'd be great for our program and great for them-provided they graduate. We're going to make sure that Rob graduates when it's all said and done."
The senior from West Roxbury made his professional debut Wednesday evening in a 4-0 loss to the Ontario Reign.
In his three seasons with the Beacons, Florentino was one of the top offensive defenseman in the ECAC East, finishing with 18 points or more in every season. This year, he enjoyed a career season, recording seven goals, 21 assists and 28 points. He finished his career at UMass Boston with the third-most points amongst defenseman in school history with 64.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound assistant captain was named to the ECAC East First Team in February, becoming only the fifth player in school history to be named to the First Team. Earlier that month, Florentino was named a Joe Concannon Award Semifinalist, for the best American born Division II/Division III player in New England.
The ECHL is a professional hockey league that feeds into the American Hockey League and NHL. Eleven former Wranglers have gone on to play in the NHL, including former collegiate players John Curry (Boston University), Tyson Strachan (Ohio State University) and Matt McKenna (St. Lawrence University).
Florentino joins a familiar foe on the Wranglers bench, as Castleton State College senior forward Josh Harris signed with the team earlier this week.

=3. Normal Moves=
-- Punches --
- Jab Punch -
-Standing: a quick punch to the face on the average size character (cable)
-Crouching: another quick punch, seems to have better range than the standing
-Jumping: another quick punch, i dont use it much because it doesnt have very
good range
- Strong Punch -
-Standing: this can be used as a launcher, has pretty good recovery time, use
-Crouching: has decent range. i never use it though
-Jumping: another move, nothing special about it. i never or hardly use this at
- Fierce Punch -
-Standing: Magneto pimp slaps all average sized characters and taller across
the screen. has excellent range, a little lag if blocked but unless
your fightning another Magneto or someone who dashes real fast, you
shouldn't have to worry about getting countered if this was blocked
-Crouching: Magneto's launcher of choice. has good height and range, high
-Jumping: good range and priority, fast and effective. i still prefer the
jumping roundhouse kick though
-- Kicks --
- Short Kick -
-Standing: its exactly what it says, a short kick to the lower legs of target
-Crouching: this is what i use to get a combo started. has very good range, is
quick and has excellent recovery time if blocked
-Jumping: has decent range. i prefer the jumping roundhouse kick, but this one
makes a decent backup
- Forward Kick -
-Standing: he extends his leg a little bit farther if used after a standing
light punch or kick. no priortity at all really, imo
-Crouching: has like no priority at all because when u connect this, you get
pushed back from the enemy. you cant continue to do nothing else
-Jumping: i use this almost as much as jumping roundhouse because it has good
range and you can dash in once you land and do a c. hp
- Roundhouse Kick -
-Standing: Magneto kicks twice. i guess its good to use if you have a opponent
right on you and you just want some space. i also think you can
cancel into a hyper grav after this move
-Crouching: this is Magneto's slide. has very good range, but not otgable or
anything so use this sparingly. if blocked, use a force shield just
incase ur opponent trys to counter the sweep they blocked
-Jumping: this is an excellent move. i use this all the time to start up a
combo. so i say this has excellent priority and no recovery time
=4. Special Moves=
-- EM Disruptor -- [hcf + p] (can also be done in air)
Magneto throws out of his hand a purple, oval shaped, long peice of energy,
just about extends the whole width of the screen. its comboable, has good
priority. if you cant finish a air combo with a magnetic tempest, (because you
dont have a super meter available) add this to the end of the magic series
instead of a fierce punch or roundhouse kick
-- Hyper Gravitation -- [hcb + k] (can also be done in air)
Magneto forms four energy compacted balls that go straight after the opponent.
Has good priority. Great to use if your enemy is above you can you cannot see
them. Has a little lag if it is blocked, so dont throw it close to your enemy,
throw it far, it travels just about across the whole screen wherever the enemy
is. Once your enemy is caught in this, they are at your mercy
-- Magnetic Force Field -- [hcf + k] (ground only)
Magneto extends his arms and forms the outer layer of a circle all around him.
if someone where to hit you for the time that ball is out, (about one second)
they will get shot away from you. Only time is use this is when I miss a
crouching roundhouse kick (sweep) Be prepared to be attacked if someone where
to stay away from this move
-- Magnetic Blast -- [u, uf, f + p] (only in air)
Magneto forms a u-shaped peice of energy and shoots it diagonally down to the
ground. I never use this move, its pretty useless, imo
-- Air Magneto -- [b, db, b]
Yes, Magneto can fly, but not very well. Leave flying for characters like
Sentinel. I never fly with Magneto, just not a good choice since he doesn't
move very fast and you cannot block while u are flying
=5. Hyper Combos=
-- Magnetic Shockwave -- [qcf + 2p] (ground only)
Magneto turns a little and slams his fist into the ground, forming walls of
thick to thin, tall energy bars across the screen. Its kind of like Hulk's
Gamma Wave in the way that the bars hit one at a time and go across the entire
screen and even past that. This is comboable, do this immediately after
launching your opponent with crouching fierce punch for easy and good damage
-- Magnetic Tempest -- [qcf + 2k] (can also be done in air)
Magneto pauses for a second before about 30 energy shards start shooting out
from him in all directions ahead of him. This does extreme damage if all the
shards connect (as if it were comboed) Do this hyper combo to finish off a air
combo by cancelling hyper gravitation to magnetic tempest. it does alot of
damage but takes practice to master comboing this into a air combo
=6. Throws=
-- Throw with fierce punch --
Magneto grabs and holds the opponent with one hand while turning their body
into energy chips and tosses them away from him. The opponent will be frozen
and helpless for about 3 seconds if you were playing against the computer, but
against human players they usually mash out of the throw before you can even
get to them
-- Throw with roundhouse kick --
Magneto grabs the opponent by the lower mid section, charges them with some
kind of purple energy, then throws them away from him. You can choose where you
want the opponent throw by moving the directional pad or joystick in that
direction while he still is holding the opponent
=7. Tips and Tricks=
-Cross up your opponent by calling out an assist while you are jumping over the
opponent, that way, your assist hits the opponent from the one side and you try
to get in a crouching short kick > crouching fierce punch then start your air
combo. It usually tricks alot of people to have to block two different ways so
they do not get hit. i like to cross up my opponent with either storm
(projectile) assist or cable (projectile) assist
-Air dash your way out of hyper combos
-Combo alot. you are not going to win by throwing EM Disruptors the whole game.
Magneto is strictly a combo maniac so you need some quick fingers to be able to
do most of his combos.
-When you throw ur opponent with the roundhouse kick, try to otg them up into
a air combo
-Always try to finish a air combo with hyper gravitation cancelled into a
magnetic tempest.
-If you do not have a super meter available to use a magnetic tempest while in
the air, just do (launch) sj. lp > lk > lp > lk > EM Disruptor (the fierce
punch version for more damage)
-Magneto has a few infinites, try to learn them and take advantage of them.
Something i need to learn also haha.
-Abuse Magneto's quick dashes. On the ground, if you blocked something from the
opponent, and know that move has alot of recovery time, you can usually get to
them by dashing forward, do a crouching light kick and then launch the opponent
for a deadly air combo
-Since Magneto doesn't take damage too well, just keep an eye on his health and
let him recover every once in a while if he has alot of red damage that can
turn back to yellow (actual life)
-Use a roundhouse kick hyper gravitation if the opponent is hovering over you
or is trying to play a keep away game from you. once you get them trapped in a
hyper gravitation, they are at your mercy for whatever you decide to do to
-Abuse Magneto's tri-jump. this is really advanced, even i dont do this well at
all but if you have ever seen storm or rogue go crazy on you while playing
against the computer, and you see how hard it is to fight against them, well
thats what they are doing. I need to learn this also hehe.
=8. Combos=
-The following combos were tested on Cable, an average damage receiver
-The following combos were tested on the level 2 damage setting
-The following combos are in order from least to most damaging
-Understand that 143 points of damage = fatal
- 1. j. rk \/ d.c. lk > c. fp /\ lp > lk > lp > lk > fp or rk
[8 hits, 53 damage]
- 2. j. rk \/ d.c. lk > c. fp /\ lp > lk > lp > lk > EM Disruptor

(then otg them with..) c. lk > c. fp /\ lp > lk > lp > lk > hyper grav xx
magnetic tempest
[96 hits, fatal, semi-infinite]
=9. Recommended Partners=
-- Psylocke --
Psylocke's anti air assist provides Magneto with a excellent and easy way to
set up huge combos. Her anti air assist (alpha) is when she does the psy-blade
move which is OTGable. If this connects, have Magneto do a crouching short kick
> crouching fierce punch > combo. Psylocke is also a rusher, she has a very
fast dash, just about almost as fast as Magneto's. All her supers are easily
comboable. Only downfall I can think of her at the moment is, just like
Magneto, she takes a little more damage the average tier character does. But if
you just play smart with her, throwing a light punch psy-shot after her
delaying crouching fierce launcher if it was blocked is always a good idea to
keep you safe. Make sure you combo those hyper combos at the end of air combos
to take some damage away from your opponent.
-- Cable --
I like Cable's projectile assist. It allows Magneto to cross up his opponent by
air dashing up and over the opponent while calling out Cable projectile assist
(alpha) then continuing to try to get in a crouching short kick > crouching
fierce punch > combo. With this, you have cable using viper beam on one side
of the opponent and you trying to get in a combo from the other side. Cable is
the average damage taker so you dont have to worry about him too much. I like
to use Cable in my lineup because Magneto and Storm charge up the super meter
very fast and once you get Cable in there, he is a character that has to abuse
those super meters to be extremely effective. Magneto is a up-close fighter,
and Cable is not, so they balance eachother out quite nicely.
-- Storm --
Storm is another speed demon and can charge up the super meter very fast also.
Storm's projectile assist (alpha) is one of the best assists in the game in my
opinion because it goes through just about everything. I think it goes through
most beams also. Storm's projectile assist also provides Magneto to attack from
one side and Storm throwing horizontal typhoons across the screen from the
other side of the opponent. Storm's Lightning Attack hyper combo is comboable
after a regular lightning attack special move. Storm is very fast and also has
tri-jump ability. Making her a fast, hard to block foe. If you use Storm with
Magneto, take advantage of getting your opponent in a nasty air combo with
Magneto, ending it with a Magnetic Tempest hyper combo, then about half way
through it, do a delayed hyper combo into Storm's Hail Storm hyper combo. Both
of these supers combined do more than half of the opponent's health, and it
does about 55 hits. So if your are going to use Storm, make sure you have your
character lineup similar to Magneto, Storm, <character of your choice> That way
the delayed hyper combo works correctly.
-- Sentinel --
Sentinel takes damage very well, meaning that it takes alot of hits and combos
to actually hurt him. He's also very big character with very powerful moves. All
his moves to chip damage. He is the fastest flyer in the game, yes he can fly.
His rocketpunch special move dishes out a lot of damage. And the reason I use
him from time to time in my lineup is because of his Ground Assist (gamma). He
performs his drone swarm special move. Reason i like this assist is because,
just as I stated with Storm and Cable, you can cross up your opponent having
Sentinel attacking from one side while you are on the other side trying to
launch your opponent for a huge combo. It also takes Sentinel two hits in a
row from other characters to be launched in the air before anyone can perform
an air combo on him. His moves extreme range. And you can control where you
want his drone swarm's to go by moving your directional pad, or joystick in the
direction desired.
-- Cyclops --
Cyclop's Anti Air Assist is another assist that provides Magneto to easily
combo the opponent if they were caught in it. Cyclops is also a strong, solid
character with good supers and combos. I dont use Cyclops much but I know his
Anti Air Assist sets up for some nice combos.

A Lifelong "Unschooler": Interview with Quinn Eaker
16 comments:
- Rane dae said...
Thanks to Quinn for that insightful explanation. I'm interested in unschooling but am honestly concerned if I could do it with the purity that he talks about. This is helping me to think more deeply about who I am, what I carry and how I interact with my children. Can I unschool myself? Or would that be de-school?
- May 11, 2010 at 7:59 AM
- Anonymous said...
Wow. This man sounds like an arrogant ass. If this is what unschooling creates, that is not something I want for my children. He goes on and on about how things don't pertain to him, he even stated "Authority doesnt really exist in my life. Authority is old paradigm. If someone tried to control me I would laugh and continue to live." Does he think he can just get away with anything? Do laws not pertain to him? This is a disgrace. I am all for an alternative to traditional schooling, but I think this guy is full of it.

I agree with the above poster. I did not like the way he came off AT ALL. He seems like a rebellious teenager. Down with the man! No authoritah!
- May 12, 2010 at 6:20 PM
- Ann said...
absolutely, very immature- he says over and over how he fortunately hasn't had to work in 10 years- really- because working is the real world in my opinion- and so is responsibility.
He reminds me of an immature child in a man's body.
I want my children to be scholars, to be leaders, to contribute to society. To be educated. I think we all have different opinions of how homeschooling works for us. To me, chores are important, and if my child has a pigsty of a room, they aren't respecting me, or themselves, etc. so they need to clean it!
- May 13, 2010 at 4:55 PM
- Ann said...
that isn't to say that he doesn't have a good attitude about some things, because he does, and he does inspiring things, and is living something he believes

- FriendWithBennafits said...
Anything you WANT for your child is control/manipulation
It is common but that is the way it is. A true genius/master lives from direct connection with inner source. to live for family/friends/society is to conform/mold/suffocate the potential of experience.
The harder it is for you to hear this the more true it is.
I do have no respect for authority and IT IS old paradigm.
- May 14, 2010 at 3:50 PM
- FriendWithBennafits said...
I want to simply and clearly address a few things.
I wrote that whole interview in the matter of an hour or so from an apple store while there getting an Iphone exchange. Every words was authentic and un diluted in full transparency. I do not care at all what others think or feel about what I say but I do know that how one reacts is an important indicator of inner consciousness.
I do not feel there was to much misspelling and I have been known for my great communication skills. It is very hard though for one to hear/understand something that one has inner resistance too. Pay attention to how you feel and ask why it is coming up that way. On top of this I also don't think that spelling is very important as long as one understands what is being wrote. It is such a common insult that people use to attack "Intelligence" I find it quite silly.
Because I do not condition/mold/express my self based on what others perception is, it is common for people to be uncomfortable/upset/angry with thoughts/ideas/beliefs that I hold. This is ok. It is an opportunity to rethink.....Or not.
Not only do I have a lot of friends but I have friends around the world that love, respect and share everything with me. As I do with them. I just cultivated a sustainable property in Texas with amazing fully sustaining gardens, houses, bees etc etc and gave it to a mother and child to do with as they pleased. This is easy because I already have everything & an constantly being provided with new opportunity every day. I have already been given the keys to new buildings and stores on the east coast to sustainably refurbish, access to organic gardens for our new restaurant etc etc. I am on tour atm with our "Vortex" show where we are curating galleries with Heartisan creations, providing amazing food/drink, holding space for people to embrace and enjoy this experience of life with highly conscious energetics.
This all isnt right or good it just is how I live my life. I share not for any reason but to share possibility. If someone can say "I dont agree with or want what energetics you operate from" I will say AWESOME! you must LOVE your life! Agreeing to disagree is high level peace.
I share unconditionally the truth of where I am at. I am evolving every day to clearer levels of empowerment. Life is a process. I step up and take responsibility for it and am thankful for the experience.
Thankful for this experience. I welcome all interactions for what they are and will be sure to ONLY do what I want hehe
Grateful again for this opportunity to look for grace.
- May 14, 2010 at 3:59 PM
- FriendWithBennafits said...
It really is possible to live the dream. TO live where we dont do anything we dont want to do.
Compromise is not necessary, sacrifice is not necessary. It is a choice, it is really more of a condition.
Life is so good that anyone who resents what I experience is just another opportunity to laugh.

- eb86 said...
Wow. this was an amazing read. I was partially unschooled as a child and really really learnt to open my mind and "Question Everything" IS my "motto" for life. Besides "know thyself"... I find myself in situations where I feel obligated to jump into the mainstream, even though I know it's an illusion I go with it for I always find a way to learn from the experiences. THANK YOU so much for this incredibly intelligent message, I really really wanted and needed to hear all of this, it reached me at exactly the volume and verb I was searching for :)

Namaste Mr. Eaker,
I found your interview very inspiring. The funny thing is with people that aren't quite as conscious, arrogance is easy to mix up for spiritual enlightenment. My husband, when I first met him, used to sound arrogant most times. However, now that I have learned, studied, and progressively changed my style of thinking, it has all changed! Rock on and enjoy life!

Wow, Quinn, thank you so much for sharing!
As an unschooling mum I have been going through a lot of "de-structuring" myself to reach this point of absolutely enjoying my life, doing what I love instead of working... in my eyes you are a standard for "sucessful" (whatever that means :)!) unschooling.
Maybe I will translate this interview, but for sure I will place a link on our Austrian plattform.
Greetings from Austria,

I am thankful that there are those who are thankful~
All that I share is simply for the sake of possibility*
I share unconditionally that which I feel to be important....Not because it is right or because it is better but because in the light years of awareness that I have explored this is what is on the leading edge of truth.
I need not judge others for suffering is painful enough*
I share this and much more for all who are ready and have nothing for those who are not*
No one need compare them self to me or use me as a standard.....Simply take note and consciously embrace that which is inspiring about this and forget the rest*
We all are where we are and it is perfect.....Only when we are in awareness and acceptance of what is NOW may we shift~
Infinite possibility exists.....Everything is true it is ALL ok......The question then becomes not what is the answer or what is right but what feels good*
All that is important awaits alignment~
Blessings in all that you experience~*~

I just came across this interview today for the first time! I am Quinn's mom Barb - hi everyone! Quinn is indeed a strong individual and has been his entire life. I have learned so much about how life is meant to be lived, through Quinn and my other two children - who, incidentally and naturally - have completely different personalities, styles and demeanors than Quinn.
Quinn's strength and power does not scare me although I understand that it does for some folks. Fortunately it's not my job, nor Quinn's, to change anyone!

As a middle-age unschooler (actually sat on the lap of John Holt at some back-to-the-land thingy back in the 1970s), I am interested to hear how the newbies are growing up and who they are becoming. While I love the passion of Quinn for unschooling, and I am glad to read about a fellow neo-hippie, I would say that while unschooling is different for all individuals and families, there are some very real challenges to the experience. I would say there are some very real downsides. It isn't for everyone. Some unschoolers have access to resources others don't have. Nothing wrong with that, but it's important to understand, it's an often hard transition to come to the country one was born in as an immigrant – know understanding the strange and bizarre behavior of my "fellow" Americans. I have had to learn that my experience was very counter-culture. To embrace this isn't the counter-culture of schooled people who go to Burning Man or stupid concerts, but a deeper more Beatnik attitude of introspection and rebellion.

Children are all born pure potential this includes the dysfunctional adults that are breathing as well*
The problem is that almost EVERYONE is abused and conditioned from birth and looses connection with true empowered consciousness~
The beauty that unschooling has the potential for really has nothing to do with the children but with the parents......because children are BORN pure potential there really is nothing that a parent need to but provide true freedom for the Self Design of a child......If they are interested in something and have true freedom they will explore it and all a parent needs to is support that exploration*
Parents get very cought up in what they are supposed to do if they are an unschooler or not....
They feel like their responsibility is so vast....
When reality is it simple*
Provide true freedom and support for whatever is important to them and thats it*
Life is easy abundant and enjoyable even in a totally dysfunctional world such as this when truly conscious and empowered....for we do NOT base our experience on this world but of our connection to source~*~
Yes unschooling may not be for every adult but it is for EVERY child if they have this true space for it. If the parents are not ready nor capable of this then there is little benefit at all for the children are just in another jail and a potentially MORE limiting one*

Quinn, thank you for sharing parts of your experience in life.
I am a mum to five young children, and sometimes struggle with knowing when and to what degree my children actually need my interjection into their experiences. As a benevolent, selfish, unrugged individualist, I err on the side of preserving and protecting innate individual freedom, but there are definitely some aspects of my mothering that need tweaking in this respect. Your frankness cut through to some of those things, and I thank you for being a willing conduit of such primal wisdom. :)
I definitely see that your communication style is uncommon, but I really did not find it difficult to understand your intentions and the essence of your expressions. I'm glad that you are forthright with your understanding that people who are willing/able/ready to just be, won't feel threatened by you or your self-expression, but rather, will be able to accept even if they disagree, and just go on being in either case.
It was a lovely serendipitous find, your interview tonight. Just what I needed. :)

I lost a loved one today.
People close to me know all about Sheila. My friends, family, and peers have met her on many occasions. Sheila gave me comfort and reassurance. She gave me peace of mind. But most of all, she gave me direction in life. We've had many good years together.
My wife killed her. It wasn't jealousy. It was negligence. She shoved Sheila into the glove compartment and cracked her touch screen.
Sheila was my GPS unit, a Garmin c330.
Way back in 2005, I was one of the first authors to use a GPS on a book tour. I preached incessantly about how every writer needed one, and many peers bought their own at my insistence.
But now, Sheila is cracked and useless. No more will I hear her tell me to turn left in 200 feet. No more will her sweet voice say she's lost satellite reception. No more, when I veer off course, will she replot my route while chiding me with her terse, "Recalculating."
Personally, with all the free publicity I've given Garmin, I think they should buy me a new one. But, alas, my calls have gone unanswered.
Which leads me to you, my fans and blog readers. I want you to help me get Sheila back.
While it would be cool if some uberfan just sent me a new GPS, I'm too jaded to believe that will happen. I could just spring for the $80 to get her fixed, but that would deny me the opportunity to try an experiment.
Readers of this blog know how I love experiments. The Internet is a fantastic source of information and entertainment, and it's also a way to make money. But few writers have been able to fuse the two.
So here's what I propose.
I've begun a Save Sheila fund. If you've ever benefited from my blog, or enjoyed my writing, I'm humbly asking you to donate 99 cents by clicking on the button below. It will lead you to my website, which will allow you to donate using PayPal.
PayPal is safe, free, and most people already have an account. If you don't, it's free to sign up for one at www.PayPal.com. The direct link to the donation page is http://www.jakonrath.com/tequila.htm.
Naturally, I don't expect anyone to give something without getting something in return. In fact, I don't expect anyone to give me anything no matter what they get in return. But this is an experiment, and I'm interested to see how it turns out, so I'm giving it a shot.
Everyone who donates 99 cents to the Save Sheila fund will get an ebook from me, emailed to them.
"But Joe," you're probably saying to yourself, "you've already got several free ebooks that can be downloaded on your website. Why should I give you a buck when I'm already getting the freebies?"
Because, dear reader, I'm offering to give you an ebook that isn't on my website.
I wrote nine unpublished novels before landing a book deal with my first Jack Daniels thriller, Whiskey Sour. Three of these novels are available for free on my website, www.jakonrath.com. Many times, readers have clamored for my other unpublished work, and I've always rebuffed them, claiming my early books aren't fit for human consumption.
Well, I've been lying. One of those earlier books is decent. And fans of my Jack Daniels novels might find it interesting, because it has Jack Daniels in it.
The book is called Shot of Tequila. I wrote it in 1997. It's a crime thriller. I actually had an agent who was interested in it, but he ultimately passed, saying it had too much action in it.
I know, I don't understand that comment either.
In 2008, I reread the book, and was surprised to find out it was pretty good. So I rewrote some scenes, polished it, and added Jack Daniels as a supporting character, just for fun.
If you donate 99 cents to the Save Sheila fund, I'll email you a .pdf copy of Shot of Tequila.
You may now commence with the obvious questions.
Q: Is Shot of Tequila a Jack Daniels novel?
A: No. The protagonist is a mob enforcer named Tequila. Jack Daniels is a supporting character. She appears in several scenes, as does her partner, Herb Benedict.
Q: Is it any good?
A: A few of my writing peers have read it and enjoyed it. The story takes place in 1993. It's sort of like Elmore Leonard on steroids. Readers will meet a younger, less experienced Jack Daniels. Consider it a prequel to her later adventures.
Q: Why are you doing this? Do you really need the $80 that badly?
A: The free ebooks on my website have been downloaded over 10,000 times. On the Amazon.com Shorts program, I have two short stories that have been downloaded thousands of times, and people paid 49 cents for those. I'm curious to see if anyone is willing to pay 99 cents for an original JA Konrath novel.
Q: Do you think people will?
A: No. I think digital media wants to be free. I've heard stories of authors who have made some money charging for downloads, but I don't believe those stories. That's why I'm trying it for myself.
Q: What if I donate 99 cents, then hate the book?
A: You can complain to my wife, the Sheila Killer.
Q: How long is Shot of Tequila?
A: It's 75,000 words. I've formatted it so it prints out at 171 pages, if you prefer printing it to reading it on your computer. You can also read it on your smartphone, Kindle, iPod, Nintendo DS, and pretty much anything else these days. If your dohickey doesn't read .pdf files, you can find a converter online.
Q: Will you post the results of this experiment?
A: Absolutely. I'll keep everyone updated on how many donations I've received. I'm sure there are many authors curious to see if this works.
Q: Can I link to this post and help spread the word?
A: I encourage you to.
Q: I love your blog. You're very generous with your writing advice, and you help keep me motivated. But I think your writing stinks. Can I donate to you without getting a copy of your lousy unpublished book?
A: No.
Q: How fast will I get the book after I donate?
A: There is no automatic download system in place. The ebooks are sent by me one at a time. I'll check my email a few times a day, and if I get any donations, I'll send an ebook to the email address that donated to me. If you've donated and haven't gotten a copy, you're welcome to email me and I'll make sure you get one.
Q: You're a popular author, with a few hundred thousand books in print, and your blog gets thousands of hits a week. Don't you think you'll make enough to save Sheila?
A: Realistically, no. But time will tell...

Walter Adds 2 Geometries to its Tiger•tec Silver Insert Lineup
Walter has added two new geometries to its line of high-performance Tiger·tec Silver inserts.
Related Topics:
Walter has added two new geometries to its line of high-performance Tiger·tec Silver inserts. Tiger·tec Silver, with its CVD coating, is designed to enhance cutting speed, reliability and tool life, and the RK5 and RK7 geometries bring these advantages to the machining of ISO K (cast iron) materials and join the MK5 universal geometry already available.
A key feature of the geometries is their plateau step between the location face and the cutting edge. This step enables the location face to be ground after coating, something that is not possible to do with standard inserts without a chipbreaker groove. The resulting uneven location face on standard inserts can lead to micro-vibrations and chipping at the cutting edge. By contrast, the evenly ground faces of the new Walter inserts ensures that they can be seated with maximum stability. As a result, wear is reduced, tool life enhanced, and process reliability increased, particularly in cases of high dynamic loads.
The RK5 for cast iron roughing operations is a classic flat top insert without chipgroove and delivers the advantages of speed, reliability and longer tool life, particularly in the machining of grey cast iron. RK7 is an extremely robust insert for heavy interrupted cuts, large depth-of-cut variations causing uneven material removal, and hard cast skin. Its geometry is similar to the RK5s, but it also has a protective chamfer on the cutting edge. It is also suitable for the hard/soft machining of hardened steels with hardness from 40-62 HRC, for which CBN inserts are not suitable in many cases. The existing Walter MK5 ("universal") geometry is suitable for medium machining of all cast iron workpieces. It has an open chipbreaker groove for a soft cutting action and is especially well suited for machining ductile cast iron, unstable components, or internal machining with low cutting pressure.

It's better than her dead! He should just be glad that I had control. And now, she can actually defend herself!
She runs up to him, just to tell him she is fine. Even if he doesn't want to believe it, she wanted this. Eyes closed, he turns away in my direction. Head down. She can't touch him, but she lifts a hand anyway.

Here's the latest of our news bulletins from the ongoing crisis at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
State of the Fukushima Reactors
Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) has formally raised the severity assessment of the most recent radioactive water leak at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to Level 3 ("severe incident") on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES). The agency first discussed doing so last week, but said that it needed to confer with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) before making the decision official. TEPCO still has not pinpointed the cause or location of the leak, which occurred in a tank containing highly radioactive water. Officials believe that approximately 300 tons of the water leaked into surrounding soil, and some of it probably poured into the nearby Pacific Ocean. The tank has a capacity of 1,000 tons; when workers checked it, they realized that only 700 tons were remaining. However, because TEPCO had not equipped it with a water gauge, no one is sure exactly how much water was inside before the leak began—or even when it began.
The incident prompted Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to declare that the government will finally take over dealing with the leak and the growing surfeit of radioactive water, nearly two and a half years after the nuclear disaster first began to unfold. "The government will deal with the situation responsibly, and will keep both domestic and foreign audiences well informed," he said. TEPCO and the government hope to release a joint action plan in September. Last week, Toshimitsu Motegi, head of the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI), which promotes nuclear power in Japan, said that the government may use reserve budget funds from this fiscal year to help underwrite costs related to the water crisis, including to repair TEPCO's Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS). That system filters most radioactive materials (but not tritium) from water used to cool the crippled reactor. ALPS was shut down last month after the very water it was supposed to filter began to corrode one of its tanks. Workers are now trying to line it with resin, but do not expect that the system will be available for test runs until at least some time next month.
Meanwhile, the NRA is urging TEPCO to increase monitoring of seawater at the utility's port, in order to better assess the effects on ocean water, as well as fish and other sea life. Shunichi Tanaka, the NRA's Chair, pointed out that because the cause and location of the leaks are still unknown, they cannot immediately be stopped. In addition, Tanaka criticized TEPCO for its current efforts to monitor oceanic radiation levels, calling them insufficient.
New analysis of radiation exposure levels of workers who were stationed at a radio relay station located just 20 meters from the tank shows that water may have begun to seep out as early as mid-July, although TEPCO did not discover the leak until August 19. TEPCO is basing the assumption on a study of rising beta-ray levels in the workers, who spent approximately two and a half hours per day at the station. However, because the company has not yet examined data gathered before July, officials admitted that they cannot confirm that the leak didn't begin even before that. TEPCO believes that the leak originally started as just a trickle, but because no one caught it, it eventually grew until 300 tons had leaked out. Rainfall in July probably spread it further.
Although the utility has 1,000 tanks containing radioactive water on the premises, it assigned only two workers to perform twice-a-day visual checks to look for leaks. They generally did not carry radiation detectors, which might have alerted them to the fact that radioactive water was escaping. The NRA reportedly advised or ordered TEPCO on approximately 10 different occasions beginning in July 2012 to increase the amount of patrols at the tanks and the number of staff performing them, but the company barely complied: it upped inspections from once a day to twice, but did not increase the number of staff performing them. TEPCO now says that it will employ 50 staff to perform four inspections per day.
Fishermen from Fukushima Prefecture, whose livelihoods have been decimated by the nuclear disaster, are stepping up their efforts to urge the government to intervene. Yesterday, Hiroshi Kishi, head of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives, hand delivered a formal request to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, asking him to address the current leak and prevent further ones. Kishi also called TEPCO President Naomi Hirose to his offices. Fishermen had planned to resume test fishing in September, in the hopes that radiation levels would be low enough for them to begin sales soon after. However, they cancelled those plans when the most recent leaks were announced, with the knowledge that consumers were unlikely to set aside their fears about the safety of seafood from northeastern Japan. "The operators of the plant are reacting too late every time in whatever they do," said one fisherman from Yotsukura, Fumio Suzuki. "We say, 'Don't spill contaminated water,' and they spill contaminated water. They are always a step behind, so that is why we can't trust them." Nobuyuki Hatta, Director of the Fukushima Prefecture Fisheries Research Center noted, "People in the fishing business have no choice but to give up. Many have mostly given up already."
Their fears about the long-term prospects of fishing off the northeastern coast of Japan may be justified. Tanaka has said more than once that he believes that releasing lower-level radioactive water into the ocean is inevitable, because the plant is running out of places to store it. "We cannot keep making tanks endlessly," said TEPCO President Naomi Hirose. And this week, researchers from the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ), a pro-nuclear organization, said that the water should be diluted and dumped into the ocean, rather than being stored. "It would be realistic to dilute the contaminated water to levels found in the natural world and release it into the ocean after removing radioactive materials other than tritium," their statement said. However, doing so would violate the 1972 London Convention, which prevents Japan or any other country from dumping radioactive materials into international waters. Experts have cautioned that radioactive materials could accumulate in fish and enter the food chain.
Mayors from Futaba, Okuma, Tomioka, and Naraha have joined Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato in formally demanding the decommissioning of all 10 nuclear reactors in Fukushima Prefecture, not just those that were damaged in the 2011 nuclear disaster. At the Fukushima Daiichi plant, reactors #5 and #6 did not melt down, and there are still four operable reactors at the nearby Fukushima Daini plant, although all remain offline. Residents of Fukushima overwhelmingly oppose restarting any of the reactors, but TEPCO, which operates all of them, has thus far ignored the opinion of residents and municipal leaders, refusing to agree to decommissioning. TEPCO said it needs to consider the nation's energy policy before making a decision.
TEPCO is also fighting a battle to restart its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Niigata Prefecture, where Governor Hirohiko Izumida has questioned TEPCO's ability to handle nuclear disasters. Izumida has said unequivocally that he will not allow any restarts until the root causes of the Fukushima disaster are uncovered, a process that could take years. "Now is not the time to talk about restarting the reactors, because the investigation into the causes of the Fukushima accident is not finished," he said. Izumida believes that the government should stop bailing TEPCO out and allow it to declare bankruptcy. Up until now, the government has adopted a "too big to fail" attitude where TEPCO is concerned.

A METI working group will reportedly advise the Trade Minister to include nuclear power in Japan's energy plan for the next 10 to 20 years. Prime Minister Abe has been a staunch supporter of nuclear energy, and is pushing ahead with that agenda despite public opposition to the plan, as well as worsening issues at the Fukushima plant.
Officials at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) have admitted to the NRA that they are storing 406 tons of highly radioactive liquid waste at the Tokai Reprocessing Plant in Ibaraki Prefecture. Although JAEA plans to treat the waste and eventually bury it, that process could take up to 20 years. In the meantime, if an earthquake or tsunami were to shut down power at the plant, 100 billion Becquerels of radioactive materials could be released into the atmosphere within 24 hours.
For the first time, victims who were forced to evacuate their homes as a result of the Fukushima nuclear crisis filed a lawsuit against TEPCO and the government in Western Japan. They are seeking damages in the amount of one billion yen ($10 million) for psychological stress, loss of their former living situations, forced evacuations, and in some cases, damage to homes. The case charges that government officials failed to take necessary safety measures. "My life was destroyed by the accident. I want to pursue the responsibility of the central government and TEPCO through the lawsuit," said Katsutoshi Sato, one of the plaintiffs.

TEPCO has consistently bypassed or completely ignored safety rules and laws. Why are the violations completely ignored by the regulating authorities. It's amazing what money can buy while ignoring the health and safety of not only the Japanese people but the world. The international community should step in. There is a lot at stake and obviously TEPCO is not qualified to solve these problems. 2 1/2 years have passed they still don't know what they are doing. The government is afraid of killing the Golden Goose. Thank you Greenpeace.

to Boris-- Why are the violations completely ignored by the regulating authorities.
because the LDP who ruled JP for ever ( except the short Democratic Party stint ) are old 'nomitomodachi' with Tepco and the 'atomic mura', this means Amakudari and nemawashi and zero transparency.
also when the accident happened--this means the tsunami struck the plant ( which was built on too low level--they even took a hill off to be able to build that low,) TEPCO was lost..and their TOP all ran away. DP had no authority--NPP and LDP is strong connected since decades and they cover each other. They lied to their own population for weeks, even though foreign media broadcasted the only logical truth. JP people not believed their own government as Sat AM after the quake Tokyo shops had zero food, no toiltepaper, no water. Everyone prepared to stay in house for days for the contamination.

Entegy, following its own decision to close the Vermont Yankee npp, is begging for more subsidies in order to protect "merchant" nuclear industry from "artificially deflated" energy prices.
Entegy is happy to cash the profits but when it comes to losses it wants the taxpayer to pitch in.
Next what? Rolls Royce asking for subsidies to protect it from articially deflated prices of Toyota cars?
The US regulations allow Entegy to wait 60 years before dismantling Vermont Yankee. Will Entegy still be in business by then? Will the funds set aside for decommissioning still be there by then? The people who know the plant inside out will definitely not be there. Entegy must start decommissioning as soon as possible, as it being done in Germany.

"the decommissioning of all 10 nuclear reactors in Fukushima Prefecture, not just those that were damaged in the 2011 nuclear disaster."
The statement above (from NHK?) is not correct: *all* reactors in Fukushima have been damaged by the quake. Fukushima Daini was inches away from a meltdown for one or two weeks after the quake.
In the quoted statement above "damaged" should read "destroyed".

Tepco is a criminal company covered and supported by the Japanese LDP and Abe. The Japanese people voted again for him and the zombies are back from years ago where they created nothing good for Japan. He should have been in charge and responsible when the LDP made disaster occured. It is not the builders of the plant, but Tepcos fault alone how the disaster was handled, pls read all details carefully. Naoto Kan did well to yell at top officials at TEPCO to go back when the dissater struck and work--those guys 'RAN' AWAY then a shame! and left the plant to its own. If NO Kan, who knows where Kanto-area would be by now. Nuclear power plants safety can be controlled to a huge extend IF the government and the plant management are not corrupt and run a plant appropriate. A smart and realistic energy mix is necessary and NPP produced and sold energy should contain, include all the risks and the decommission of plants in its price. No matter how safe you build a plant, if it is not protected against a suicide bombers attack, or a tsunami ( quakes are OK ) like Fukushima where Tepco took off a hill to lower the plants area on sea level and with no real tsunami wall built in an area that predicted 30 mm high tsunamis--to save a couple of dollars...for a wall and a cooling system that works...this is all the plants operator fault and not Toshiba's etc...and the government who has no real watching over authority...Even Kan had to yell at them to get them back to work...the cowards ran away...such an technology cannot be run and overseen by cowards.

Fukushima 1 we do not know yet whether it would have survived the quake if the tsunami did not hit it.
Fukushima 2 and Kariwa-Kashiwazaki were hit by quakes that required two years of repairs. Higashi Dori and Tokai were hit hard too.
Way too many close calls to be able to say that quakes are ok.

Is the World Health Organization revisiting its low estimations of health risks from radiation from Fukushima or still colluding with government authorities and the energy sector in downplaying the risks? What about the ecological impacts - on both terrestrial and marine species? Where is the IAEA - sitting behind computer monitors "evaluating the situation" like it did during the early days?

Countries like Germany pledge to be 100% clean green energy; no more nuclear energy needed there. their plants will all be dismantled. This needs to be done worldwide.

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — Seven business days after holding a news conference to turn in their petitions, marijuana legalization advocates announced on Wednesday they officially have enough signatures to qualify for a spot on the South Portland ballot.
"Voters were very receptive during the signature drive," said David Boyer, Maine political director of the Marijuana Policy Project, in a statement. "Most people agree law enforcement officials have more important things to do than punish adults for using a substance that is less harmful than alcohol. If this measure passes [at the polls], police can use their discretion to stop arresting adults for simple marijuana possession."
The South Portland city clerk's office had 20 days to certify that at least 959 of the names on the petitions were valid and from registered city voters.
The Marijuana Policy Project, the national organization which led the legalization campaign in nearby Portland last fall, announced it received that confirmation from the city on Wednesday. The group and its supporters turned in 1,521 signatures on July 14.
In addition to backing a referendum to legalize possession of 2.5 ounces of marijuana in Maine's largest city last November — which passed with the support of two-thirds of the Portlanders who voted — the Marijuana Policy Project is now seeking to get similar measures before voters in South Portland, Lewiston and York.
Unlike in the Portland ordinance, however, the proposed rules in the other three municipalities would legalize possession of only one ounce.
The organization already has turned in signatures in York, where a public hearing will take place on Monday before selectmen there consider placing legalization on the November ballot.
Boyer has told reporters that his group has gathered about half of the 859 signatures necessary in Lewiston, and petitioners there have until early August to finish gathering signatures.
"We hope to see as much support and enthusiasm among City Council members as we have among voters," Boyer said of the South Portland effort. "This is an opportunity for council members to demonstrate leadership on this issue. It's time to move beyond the status quo of prohibition and start making progress."
So far, South Portland officials have offered more vocal resistance to the prospect of marijuana legalization than Boyer and his supporters faced in neighboring Portland.
Last month, the South Portland City Council unanimously passed a nonbinding resolution opposing legalization. That action came on the heels of a news conference at which Mayor Jerry Jalbert, Police Chief Ed Googins, Superintendent Suzanne Godin and two city councilors — among others — proclaimed their opposition.
With the exception of a few city councilors who were outspoken in favor of legalization, most Portland officials stayed on the sidelines during the marijuana campaign there last fall, largely allowing the pro-legalization group control of the airwaves.
Boyer has been clear that his group is seeking the municipal-level legalization measures as a precursor to a 2016 effort to legalize recreational marijuana use statewide.
As is the case in Portland, the marijuana ordinances petitioners are proposing in the other three communities would apply to adults over the age of 21 and would maintain prohibitions on public use or display of the drug.
Portland police and state prosecutors have maintained that, despite the local ordinance legalizing pot in that city, they are still obligated to enforce state and federal laws outlawing the drug, leaving the referendum vote there largely as a ceremonial or advisory one.
Use of marijuana for medical purposes has been legal in Maine since 1999, with larger scale dispensaries of medical marijuana legal since 2009. The measure in Portland, as well as those proposed in the other three municipalities, would nominally legalize possession and use of the drug recreationally.

Washington D.C., Feb 13, 2013 / 05:09 pm ().- The Department of Defense has drawn criticism over new policies providing same-sex partners some of the benefits normally reserved to military spouses.
The new policies make "a mockery of the Defense of Marriage Act that is still the law of this nation," said Chaplain Ron Crews, a retired Army Reserve Colonel and executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.
Speaking to CNA on Feb. 13, Crews decried these new policies, saying that they essentially ignore the intent of federal law by treating same-sex couples as spouses.
Crews pointed to the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman for federal purposes. The U.S. Supreme Court will rule on a case challenging the law this summer.
President Barack Obama has previously announced that he thinks the Defense of Marriage Act is discriminatory and ordered the Department of Justice to stop defending it in court.
Now, Crews believes that the president's administration is violating the intent of the law by treating gay couples as if they were married couples.
In a document released on Feb. 11, the Pentagon announced that some spousal benefits will be extended to same-sex partners of active duty members of the armed services.
"At the direction of the President," the document stated, "the Department [of Defense] has conducted a careful and deliberative review of the services currently provided to the families of Service members."
"We have now identified additional family member and dependent benefits that we can lawfully provide to same-sex domestic partners of Military Service and their children through changes in Department of Defense policies and regulations," it said.
The expansion of benefits to same-sex partners follows a Congressional decision to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," thereby allowing individuals who identify as openly gay to serve in the military.
The new Pentagon document identifies a number of spousal services that will now be extended to same-sex partners of armed services members. These benefits include the provision of dependent ID cards, on-base shopping and recreation privileges, emergency leave, counseling programs, transportation services and compensation for a missing or captive partner.
Spousal benefits that are regulated by the Defense of Marriage Act – such as health care and housing allowances – are still reserved to heterosexual spouses.
However, the document explained that if that law is ruled unconstitutional, the Defense Department will "construe the words 'spouse' and 'marriage' without regards to sexual orientation," expanding these benefits to same-sex couples as well.
Also excluded from the benefits that are being extended to gay couples are on-base housing and burial. Secretary of Defense Leon Penetta said that these benefits were not included because they "present complex legal and policy challenges" and may be banned by the Defense of Marriage Act.
He added that the Department of Defense would continue to investigate these benefits and determine "how best to ensure that all Service members are treated equally regardless of sexual orientation."
Crews argued that in addition to defying the intent of the Defense of Marriage Act, the decision is unwise for a variety of reasons.
"It is an outrage that the Department of Defense would provide benefits to an unknown number of persons," he said, "at significant cost to the military, at a time when the military's budget is being reduced. It is even worse that this is being done without consulting Congress."

Material Details
- Wood: walnut
- Finish: non-toxic lacquer
- Material Description: Walnut adds timeless depth and character to your room. Even after walnut is harvested and made into furniture, it continues to be a living, breathing material that responds to its environment - it expands and contracts with changes in humidity and also changes color over time as it's exposed to air, sunlight and wear. New walnut starts as a dark chocolate brown and beautifully ages to lighter brown or honey color over time.
- Wood: walnut
- Finish: non-toxic lacquer
- Secondary Material: low-emission MDF
- Color: white
- Finish: non-toxic lacquer
- Material Description: Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made from wood fibers adhered using heat and pressure. The result is a stable panel that does not expand and contract with humidity like solid wood, making MDF an excellent core under veneers, or on their own once painted or powder-coated. Our MDF is California Air and Resources Board Phase II (CARB-2) compliant, which sets the lowest threshold in the world for formaldehyde emissions in engineered wood products.
- Secondary Material: low-emission MDF
- Color: white
- Finish: non-toxic lacquer
- Colors may vary depending on your monitor and printer. For color accuracy, request a swatch.
