I've just finished attending the 2019 International Virginia Woolf Conference, a marvelous event focused this year on questions of Woolf and social justice. Most (but not all) of the attendees were affiliated in some way with academia, and one of the questions that recurred through the conference was: How do we combat negative stereotypes of the humanities and show the valuable work people are doing in our fields? Woolf's concept of the "common reader" is one that haunted many attendees, since most of their work is not aimed at such readers, and, indeed, Virginia Woolf herself would likely be repulsed by the ways academic writing has become so insular — she didn't much care for the academic writing of her own day, and ours is often, if anything, only more abstruse.
One attendee pointed out that it is only in universities that the humanities have been put into crisis — in the world beyond the university, there is a clear hunger for art, theatre, history, philosophy, literature, etc. Another attendee pointed to Kevin Birmingham's award-winning, bestselling The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce's Ulysses as a model of a serious work of scholarship that does not cut out a general readership. There are challenges to such work for academic careers, however. Not just the challenges of trying to avoid writing about, say, the imbrication of hermeneutical hierarchies troping the dis/embodied humanimalian metropole, but the challenges of hiring, promotion, and tenure. For many committees, impenetrable writing published in inaccessible journals is the greatest scholarly achievement. Read Kevin Birmingham's acceptance speech when he won the Capote Prize: "Publishing with Penguin or Random House should be a wonderful opportunity for a young scholar. Yet for most hiring committees, a trade book is merely one that did not undergo peer review. It's extracurricular. My book exists because I was willing to give up a tenure-track job to write it."
In some places, this is changing. In my own tenure-track job, for instance, I am supremely lucky to work with people who actually value open, public writing and research more than they value traditional, closed-access academic writing and research. Such places and people seem scarce in the academic humanities. But we're also a regional state university where teaching and service are more important than research; if I were at an R1, I'm sure I would be under pressure to make my work more obscure and inaccessible.
But for the sake of the ideas and information I'm about to share, let's pretend that you, dear reader, are in a position to write less obscurely for more accessible venues. Then the problem becomes one multiple people expressed at the Woolf conference: We're not trained for that and don't know how to even begin.
I do actually know something about such writing, however, because before I fell into the groves of academe, I wrote and published for general audiences, and still try to do so whenever I can. I've never had the discipline or tolerance for risk to make a living as a freelance writer, so there are many things I don't know about the best practices for landing writing gigs, but I know how to get started and I know where to turn for more info. Here, what I will do is offer some resources, tips, and then a quick case study of a piece that I first wrote for a conference presentation, submitted to an academic journal, and once it was eventually rejected, turned into an essay that the Los Angeles Review of Books published.
Writing for a general audience as an academic
The first thing you need to do when writing for an audience that is more than 5 people (each of whom with a PhD in your field) is to think about that audience, to imagine it. What do they know and not know? How do you envision them? This is just an exercise, but it's an important one, because there's actually no such thing as "a general audience". Your writing will both include and exclude, no matter what — it will, for instance, likely exclude kindergartners who are just learning to read. Think about who you want to include and exclude, because that will help you think about your diction and style as well as what material is appropriate, how focused you can be, what you can assume the audience already knows, what will need careful explaining, etc.
Here's an example from my own recent experience: I have a book coming out from Bloomsbury at the beginning of next year. (It's an academic book, submitted before I knew I would get my current job and not necessarily need to publish a rather academic book to have any hope of a career.) The original draft assumed an audience familar, to some extent at least, with all three of the writers I write about in that book: Virginia Woolf, Samuel R. Delany, and J.M. Coetzee. The problem, peer reviewers and the editor pointed out, is that such people are few. I might be the only one. I was thrilled that my editor recognized this, because then we were able to pinpoint exactly who we thought the book's audience might be: people strongly interested in one of the writers, who may not know anything about the other two. That shifted how the book needed to be written. What I focused on in revision was making sure each chapter was meaty enough to be interesting to a specialist but also contained enough introduction and explanation to help someone who knew little about a particular writer understand why I thought that writer was important to the overall argument, and how the writer's work fit into that argument. It felt like a tightrope walk, but it was also a lot of fun, because I kept that idea of an audience in mind and tried to think like a teacher.
Once you've got a sense of audience, then you have to work on your writing style. This is related to audience. Whether writing is good or bad usually depends on who it's trying to communicate with. Good writing for one audience is bad writing for another. Jargon-heavy writing with multiple footnotes for every sentence may be just fine for a highly specialized audience familiar with the vocabulary and seeking to see how an argument fits within a critical history, but it's awful for anybody else.
Here, I'm going to offer two books to help you untangle the academese from your prose. There are others, definitely, and if this is a topic of serious interest to you, you'll find them, but if you just want to know how to write more clearly, then these are the books to start with:
- Dreyer's English by Benjamin Dreyer
- Style: Toward Clarity and Grace by Joseph Williams
Read Widely
Once you've clarified who you want to write for and have practiced writing clearly, then you need to make sure you've done some good reading. This should go without saying, but in my experience, a lot of people need a reminder: You can't write what you don't read.
Reading will also help you find markets for your work. This is why you need not only to read, but to read widely. Expand your knowledge of what kinds of things are being published. Check out some recent volumes of The Best American Essays and The Pushcart Prize. Read Literary Hub and subscribe to the LitHub Daily newsletter; also Arts & Letters Daily; also Bookforum.
Read exemplary writers of nonfiction: Of course, for folks at the Woolf conference that means Woolf, but Susan Sontag and Tressie McMillan Cottom were also mentioned, and I would add Guy Davenport and lots of others — but you can, I'm sure, make your own list.
Pitching and Publishing
If you've read widely, you'll have found numerous possible places for publication. Not just highly prominent venues like The New Yorker, but, if you've done your homework, some smaller places as well, places more likely hospitable to someone without a long resume of publications. (But don't rule out the big publishers. I once had a good exchange with an editor at The Atlantic about whether a piece I was working on would be a good fit for them. All I did was email a query to the Culture & Books email address on their contact page. I suspected it wouldn't be a good fit for them because of length, and I was right, but we had a good exchange and I learned more about the kinds of things they are looking for, and they encouraged me to submit. I should probably do that sometime. Got a bit sidetracked with other stuff…)
Once you've found some places you'd like to send your work, you need to investigate how they want to receive submissions. Most places want a pitch for a nonfiction article: A brief email explaining what you want to write and why you're the person to write it. I'm not especially good at pitching, so I'm wary of offering advice here, but you can find lots of articles online about the do's and don'ts of pitching nonfiction. Think critically about such pieces — there's a lot of junk on the internet aimed at aspiring writers, so do your due diligence.
How do you find how and whom to submit your writing to? That depends on the publication. Smaller places tend to put a submissions link right on their website, larger publications (not wanting to be deluged) often hide it. Look for the small print. Use your search engine skills. Try the databases at Poets & Writers, New Pages, or Duotrope. The information is out there. You're an academic; you know how to do research!
Then send your pitch or, if they want a full manuscript, your writing. You might not hear back — ghosting is common. Be prepared for that: set a deadline for yourself where if you haven't heard back, you'll submit elsewhere. (Or submit to multiple places simultaneously, if you're willing to risk having to tell an editor that the thing you pitched is no longer available because somebody else scooped it up.) Gird yourself for rejection. And be pleasantly surprised when they respond positively.
For books, you really will probably need an agent. Don't let that be a scary thing. Agents are looking for good, authoritative writers. The hard part is not so much finding an agent as it is finding an agent who's good for you and your project. You need your agent to be excited by your project. There's plenty of information out there on finding agents — Poets & Writers has a database, for instance — but one technique you should add to your repertoire is to look up the agents who represented work that you think is somehow similar to your own. Read the acknowledgments of books (where authors usually thank their agent) or query a search engine with "Who is the agent for _________". If they were passionate about a book you are passionate about, then that might be a good agent for you. Seek out their submission guidelines. Find at least 5 and preferably 10 agents to first submit to. Then, once they all say, "Thanks, but no thanks," submit to another set of 5 to 10. And another set. And…
(Also note: Don't ever pay an agent. That's not how agents work. If an agent asks you for money, that's not an agent, that's a scam.)
For more information on writing and publishing, check out Nick Mamatas's book Starve Better. For writing book proposals, there are tons of websites and books out there. Look for one written by somebody who knows what they're talking about: check out their record. It's not an esoteric task, but you do want to make sure you have a sense of the basic format and purpose.
If you're thinking about making your work accessible, then you might also want to think about open access publishers like Punctum Books. Certainly, it's nice to dream of a big book deal with a major publisher, but access is something we really should be thinking about as scholars. The ideals of a publisher like Punctum (not that there are, yet, many publishers like Punctum) may mesh better with your own ideals than the ideals of a multinational corporation.
Twitter may be a useful tool
Let me suggest that you learn (if you haven't already) to use Twitter, not for self-promotion (though it might be useful for that), but for information gathering.
Yes, Twitter can be a vile cesspool, or it can be full of irrelevant idiocies, or it can be a vile cesspool of irrelevant idiocies … but if you think through who you are following and why, it can be useful. Follow the Twitter accounts of publishers you're interested in, find editors' accounts to follow, seek out other writers. One way to do this is to look at who it is that people you are interested in follow. Click on the list of whom they follow and use that to build your own list. You don't even ever need to make a Tweet of your own if you don't want; you can use Twitter simply to receive the information and ideas from other people. You might, though, discover new opportunities by engaging with people and building a network, because by being a good and thoughtful member of a Twitter community, other people might find you and ask you to write for them. Just remember, though, as my colleague Robin DeRosa likes to say: A personal network isn't something you get but something you grow. It takes time and repeated engagement. For growing a network, 10 minutes on Twitter 5 days a week is probably more effective than 50 minutes on Twitter 1 day a week.
Case Study: "On Samuel R. Delany's Dark Reflections"
In 2016, the Los Angeles Review of Books published an essay I wrote on Samuel R. Delany's novel Dark Reflections.
That essay began as a presentation for the 2014 Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) conference in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Soon after the conference, I expanded it into a journal article and submitted it to a journal that I thought it had a relatively good shot at getting into. That journal took about a year to reject it, sending it out to various peer reviewers, all of whom recommended publishing it, but then the editor, with no explanation, said, "Nope." I was so angry at it taking this long, and the result, that I vowed not to publish the piece with an academic publisher, because I was, at that moment, going through one of my periodic bouts of thinking all academic publishing is a hideous torture chamber of sadists seeking masochists.
I didn't have to do too much to adjust the paper for a nonacademic audience. I cut some footnotes; the ones I didn't think I could cut, I incorporated into the text. I adjusted the citations so they would be useful and clear to a general audience but not require a reference list. From the moment I decided to aim the piece at a not-necessarily-academic audience, I had thought of the Los Angeles Review of Books as the ideal publisher. I had published one review with them before, and they had published other pieces about Delany. I went to their contact page and followed the instructions, sending a description of the essay. An editor got back to me quite quickly asking for the manuscript, he liked the piece a lot, we did a couple edits for clarity, and then a month or so later the essay was published.
I'm now grateful to the academic journal for rejecting it, because the essay has received a significantly larger audience than it would have otherwise, and it still says exactly what I wanted to say about Delany and the novel.
If this story seems strangely easy … well, yes. If you're used to the rigmarole of academic publishing, general publishing will often feel like liberation. There are all sorts of absurdities and pitfalls with general publishing, but in my experience the worst of that publishing is not as soul-destroyingly painful (and slow!) as the worst of academic publishing.
Not every subject is a good fit for non-academic publishing. We need both worlds. My 2018 article in Woolf Studies Annual needed to be an academic publication, and it needed, really, to be an article for people interested in the minutiae of Woolf criticism. There are a few parts of that article that a more general audience might be interested in, but most of what the article is about is really only of concern for a highly specialized audience. Which is fine. I like addressing a highly specialized audience now and then. I just don't want it to be the only audience I have.Image: Photo by JF Martin on Unsplash

2 P.M. (Showtime) STAGE BEAUTY (2004) In this high-end costume drama about theater in 17th-century England, directed by Richard Eyre and based on a play by Jeffrey Hatcher, Billy Crudup, above, portrays Ned Kynaston, among the last of the old-school female impersonators and a specialist in doomed Shakespearean heroines. Claire Danes is Maria Hughes, who starts out as his stage-struck dresser and later becomes his rival as women are allowed to appear onstage. Rupert Everett hams it up as King Charles II; and Tom Wilkinson is Othello to Ned's Desdemona. "For about two-thirds of its length 'Stage Beauty' is propelled by a complex and fascinating set of ideas about sexual identity and theatrical performance," A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times. "But as it rushes toward an upbeat ending, the movie at once recoils from this notion and bizarrely succumbs to its logic. In disowning drag and in straightening out Ned Kynaston, 'Stage Beauty' — absurdly for a work that professes to revel in the love of theater — takes a literal-minded stand for the straight and narrow in both sex and art."
9 A.M. (CUNY) IRISH WRITERS IN AMERICA Contemporary Irish and Irish-American writers discuss their creativity and how being Irish affects them in this 13-week series, which begins with Colum McCann, the author of "TransAtlantic" and "Let the Great World Spin," a National Book Award winner, and the Emmy Award-winning television writer and comedian Conan O'Brien. "The great lie is that the writer knows what he or she is doing," Mr. McCann says. "It's not true. You write toward what you want to know." Mr. O'Brien has a slightly more humorous take. "Anyone who tells you they love writing is a liar — or a bad writer," he says. (Repeated at 2 and 8 p.m.) In "Day at Night," at 9:30 a.m., Ayn Rand, the author of "Atlas Shrugged," is interviewed by James Day in a digitally remastered episode from 1974.
12:30 P.M. (C-Span) 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY The historian David McCullough will read from the president's speeches and the United States Naval Academy Men's Glee Club will perform in this live broadcast from Dealey Plaza in Dallas. At 2:10, the network will take calls from viewers. And at 2:30, James Taylor will perform and Gov. Deval L. Patrick of Massachusetts will speak at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.
8 P.M. (NBC) DATELINE NBC Kate Snow interviews Katherine Walton, an American living in Kenya, about being trapped with her five children inside the Westgate mall in Nairobi during the attack in September. Faith Wambua, a Kenyan, talks about the ruse she used to keep herself and her two children and alive.
8 P.M. (History) J F K ASSASSINATION: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE The network examines the results of a poll about who killed President Kennedy, left, and the alternate explanations presented by the 71 percent of participants who did not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman. "Lee Harvey Oswald: 48 Hours to Live," at 10, chronicles Oswald's final two days.
9 P.M. (NBC) WHERE WERE YOU: THE DAY J F K DIED Tom Brokaw combines archival footage from NBC News with personal recollections and reflections from more than 40 others, including the widow of a Dallas police officer who received a letter from Jacqueline Kennedy and a neurosurgeon who examined President Kennedy.
9 P.M. (HGTV) HAWAII LIFE Mainlanders turned Hawaiian real estate brokers try to seduce others to follow in their footsteps. In this episode, an architect with a tortoise menagerie decides to build his dream home on Maui after discovering that he can't find a house that suits his needs. At 9:30, a couple trade Baltimore for the Big Island on a budget of $375,000.
MIDNIGHT (WE) THE LYLAS Bruno Mars's sisters — Jaime, Tiara, Tahiti and Presley Hernandez, right, otherwise known as the Lylas (for "love you like a sister") — continue their pursuit of musical superstardom in Los Angeles after leaving behind the sand and surf of Hawaii. But a vocal coach tells them their singing is awful.
1 A.M. (13) THEATER TALK Cherry Jones and Celia Keenan-Bolger discuss their roles as Amanda Wingfield and her daughter, Laura, in Tennessee Williams's "The Glass Menagerie" at the Booth Theater. Susan L. Schulman talks about her new memoir, "Backstage Pass: True Tales From a Theatre Press Agent." KATHRYN SHATTUCK

Eat fish to supplement DHA to make your baby smarter
Eat fish to supplement DHA to make your baby smarter
Eating fish to supplement DHA makes babies smarter.
Fish contain a lot of DHA, and it is closely related to brain development and human evolution.
What recognition method is used to ingest DHA?
It is not difficult to answer this question.
Just prepare the fish meal every day.
To supplement your body with DHA, eat more fish.
Some people say, "I like to eat vegetables when I want to eat them.
Then it is recommended that you add a fish to the dishes you want to eat every day. This will increase your IQ and lay a lot of material foundation for the wisdom and flexibility of your mind.
Starting today, eat fish every day.
The hypothesis that eating fish with a clear mind and eating more fish can make your brain smart has been confirmed by experimental research in Japan and other countries around the world.
Improving IQ is an important issue for humans.
At this point people will naturally take care of this issue.
In human evolution, DHA is indispensable for the development of the brain. The question is how DHA is correct.
How does DHA work and why DHA can improve IQ, everyone must want to understand this issue.
If you do not understand why fish contain DHA, and do not understand the mechanism through which DHA enhances brain function, you will naturally not be able to grasp the correct method of DHA.
For your body, for your offspring, it is necessary to figure out the knowledge about DHA.
Fish eaters are clever. Fish eats are indeed clever. Professor Croft of the British Institute of Brain Nutrition Chemistry published in his book "The Motive Force" and published the book "Eating Fish Can Be Smart"hypothesis.
The main point of this hypothesis is: the development of the brain is immeasurable DHA.
This view has been confirmed by scientific experiments years ago.
Every country agrees that eating fish can strengthen the brain. What 's more, Professor Croft pointed out: "Japanese children who eat fish often have higher IQs than children of European and American people who eat meat.Is the main research motivation of most scientists. "
DHA is abundant in fish. Many countries have said that fish is a smart food since ancient times. Chinese folk also say that eating fish can strengthen the brain.
In other words, although there has been no scientific proof in the past, countries have spread praises for the nutritional value of fish.

I am so fortunate to be living in the town I grew up in! Winston-Salem is the place I love to call home. Steeped in tradition and innovation, Berkshire Hathaway is a lot like my town. Well rounded and always looking ahead.
Real estate comes very natural to me because It was a way of life in the house I grew up in. My father owned a real estate company so I get my passion for helping clients honestly. I always loved being in the office pretending to have my own desk working on deals.
As your agent, I look forward to helping you through the process of buying and selling your home. My knowledge and experience with the best real estate company is a match that produces great results and happy clients!

She does an awesome job!!

I had complete confidence in Kim throughout our home buying experience.Less

We were moving to Winston-Salem from Florida. Kim showed us many neighborhoods and helped us narrow down areas we would like to explore. She showed us many houses and when we decided on our new home, she helped us through many bumps in the process. She was very professional. She was very responsive to our questions and requests, answering my many texts and emails usually within 15 minutes. I had confidence that she was guiding us down the right path for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying a house in Winston-Salem.

We met Kim at an open house and she offered to send us some listings without obligation since we were not working with an agent. The listings and guidance she provided were so good that we bought a house within two weeks. We had to return to our home in Florida before closing and Kim handled all the details for us via phone, text, and email with no problems whatsoever. She is knowledgeable about the area, detail oriented, and I felt very comfortable with her suggestions and recommendations. It was a pleasure working with her and I highly recommended her.Less

What is in a dark dark wood about
In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth WareIn a dark, dark wood
Nora hasnt seen Clare for ten years. Not since Nora walked out of school one day and never went back.
There was a dark, dark house
Until, out of the blue, an invitation to Clare's hen do arrives. Is this a chance for Nora to finally put her past behind her?
And in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room
But something goes wrong. Very wrong.
And in the dark, dark room....
Some things can't stay secret for ever.
Ruth Ware - In a Dark Dark Wood [REVIEW/DISCUSSION] [SPOILERS]
Dark, dark wood
Sometimes the only thing to fear…is yourself. Leonora Lee to some, Nora to others is a reclusive writer, but when an old friend unexpectedly invites her to a weekend away in an eerie glass house, she reluctantly agrees to make the trip. But a haunting realization creeps in to the party: they are not alone in the woods. Forty-eight hours later, Nora wakes up in a hospital bed with the knowledge that someone is dead. This gripping thriller will have readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page. Ruth Ware worked as a waitress, a bookseller, a teacher of English as a foreign language, and a press officer before settling down as a full-time writer. She now lives with her family in Sussex, on the south coast of England.
Based on the title, In The Dark Dark Wood and the great eerie book cover, I was hoping for creepiness and devilment in the snowy outdoors, but instead received a fair to middling somewhat predictable crime-myste. Based on the title, In The Dark Dark Wood and the great eerie book cover, I was hoping for creepiness and devilment in the snowy outdoors, but instead received a fair to middling somewhat predictable crime-mystery that nonetheless kept me reading into the early morning hours. While the character's actions and conversations seemed a bit juvenile for their age, still a solid 3 Star entertaining debut read from an author I would definitely try again. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Want to Read saving….
I started IN A DARK, DARK WOOD on an airplane, kept dipping into it whenever I was left alone, devoured another big chunk on the flight home, and after that.

text: A driving simulator study was conducted by using the same setup in two driving simulators, one with a moving base and one with a fixed base. The aim of the study was to investigate a selection of commonly used performance indicators (PIs) for their sensitivity to secondary tasks loading on different modalities and levels of difficulty, and to evaluate their robustness across simulator platforms. The results showed that, across platforms, the longitudinal PIs behaved similarly whereas the lateral control and eye movement based performance indicators differed. For modality, there were considerable effects on lateral, longitudinal as well as eye movement PIs. However, there were only limited differences between the baseline and the cognitive and haptic tasks. For difficulty, clear effects on PIs related to lateral control and eye movements were shown. Additionally, it should be noted that there were large individual differences for several of the PIs. In conclusion, many of the most commonly used PIs are susceptible to individual differences, and, especially the PIs for lateral control, to the platform and environment where they are acquired, which is why generalizations should be made with caution.

An Era of Moral Crisis
Sohrab Ahmari-ism, Courtesy of David French
The battle between the "liberal" conservatives—that is, those who still believe in free markets and civil liberties—and the illiberal nationalist conservatives has been out in the open ever since Sohrab Ahmari launched a broadside against "David French-ism," naming the National Review writer as his avatar for the supposed cultural weakness of "classical liberalism." So a […]
The God That Failed First
On Friday, I sent out an overview of Sohrab Ahmari's attack on conservative "liberalism"–a word he is using in its correct sense, unfortunately. That piece is now up at The Bulwark. But there is another aspect of that story that I wanted to delve into a little more deeply, which is the brief but dramatic […]
Lord Acton Versus Pope Francis
The most perceptive and simultaneously most obtuse comment on the current crisis in the Catholic Church is a headline by Marc Theissen: "Suddenly I Understand How [the] Reformation Happened."

I just came across such a comically grotesque philosophical expression of everything that's wrong with our culture that I had to write a piece on it for The Federalist.

Marxifix Maximus
The symbol of the Pope Francis era has to be the "Marxifix"—the crucifix in the shape of a hammer and sickle presented to the pope by Bolivian socialist Evo Morales.

I have started Laudato Si, Pope Francis's newly release papal encyclical on global warming, and it's something of a slog.

That's right, I am going to be half laid off in two weeks. Which means I have two weeks to find either another part time job, or I need to find a full time job.
At first I wanted to puke, now I think it might be a really good opportunity to pursue something else. Though I might have an interview with another design firm. Which would probably be the same. But I will hopefully find something with a boss that's a little less anal. That would be nice.
How are all of you? I'm sorry I'm not back to 100% blogging, but the stress of all of this layoff stuff has made my stomach and digestive system a war-zone, and indigestion and bad poops don't make me want to blog! Wait, poop sort of does, but I don't really want you to know the consistency of my poop, and I doubt you want to know that much about my life!
I've got a few prospects though, so I'm excited, one of which is an animal shelter. Don't worry, it's not the one that jerked me around last year. Oh brother, thank goodness it's not that one.
Though I will say that one nonprofit called me "overqualified." But they still want to interview me, which is good.
I still feel pretty sick about all of this. It's a tough thing, a layoff, and I'm not even fully laid off. However, I was told I am the least valuable because I don't bring in any billable time, which is pretty insulting. Yes, I love being the office bitch, can I please do the dishes every week?! AWESOME.
Hopefully I get to do something more meaningful, and hopefully someone wants to pay me full time for it.
I hope none of you have been laid off. God it's so awful. Even Steve got laid off. These are some seriously rough times dudes.

80% Sure it's a WomanPublished January 14, 2009 bathroom , funny , humor , humour , poop , work 7 Comments
I can't figure out if it was the constant waking up last night, or the dogs standing on my hair this morning that gave me this slow burn of a headache. Outrageous! Oh well, I've taken two of those fast-acting Tylenol, oh right right, "Rapid Release," which almost rapidly-released in my mouth because I didn't swallow them right away. Apparently too much Advil will kill you or something, so now I'm onto Tylenol. Wait, I bet it's just because I cancelled my chiro this week. The Dr. is somehow killing me using his magical chiro telepathy. What a goon!
Also, I forgot to water the plants at work this week on Monday, so I hauled ass to the bathroom to fill the watering can and when I opened the door I got slapped in the face with a burst of terrible, evil post-poop smell. I hate smelling anyone's old poop smell, especially when you can tell by the smell that it was a really awful poop. I don't know how I can tell, I just can. It is my gift. It is my curse. I guess if you're going to have a terrible poop, it's going to be first thing, but it seems like every time I go into that bathroom right when I get to work, someone has had an awful poop. I should leave a note explaining,
"To the person having terrible shits in this bathroom in the morning:
Let's talk about your diet. This isn't normal.
But you know what? I don't think I want to know who it is. Would it make it better? I am 80% sure it's a woman, unless some man is just going to the larger ladie's bathroom to take a dump. Which, I happen to think is 20% likely.
I'll catch you one day, mystery pooper.

It's not like I'm not getting things done while I'm at my desk, I guess my mind just gets a little uptight and anxious when I have to sit all day. Which just happens to be 5 days a week.
There are really pros and cons to both customer service jobs and desk jobs, and I just think it's the individual that decides which is more interesting for them. Not that we're all working in the industry that we'd like to be anyhow, but I think we all know which we prefer.
Though I will say that with so many pros and cons to each side of the coin, it's sort of hard for me to say which I prefer. I miss working in customer service because as much as there are terrible, TERRIBLE customers out there, at least I was DOING something all day. Except the slow periods. That shit was the WORST.
And then there are the pros of office work. I get to dress nicely, I get my own computer, I have instant access to the internet, and I don't have to deal with those shitty customers.
But I think it's maybe the solitude that I dislike. Not that I am really alone. I guess it's more being alone in a room full of other people. It sort of feels unnatural. Like when you're in junior high on a date and you think you're supposed to hold hands but you're so nervous your hands get all cold and sweaty, and then you just end up going the entire date without touching. Oh how I don't miss those days! But then again, no one should go on a date in jr high. Unless you want to practice failing at a lame relationship. Which I did!
I guess it could also be the type of office job you have. I tend not to produce anything tangible, so I never see my work, which makes me feel like I am not contributing, when really, I look after the whole office, so that's a lot of work.
The fear for me comes when I think that I'll end up at a desk the rest of my life and it will never amount to anything substantial in society. But is that really what it's going to take to make me happy? I don't know. I know I've had some really rewarding days in nonprofit organizations, but I've also learned a lot about graphic design. Enough to know that I likely should have gone to school for it, but would I really want to step back into school now and get yet another degree? Not really. A Masters? Eh. Not unless it was somehow in something I could really call my own, because clearly they don't offer Masters in nonprofit.
It seems like the first step is always the most difficult one to make.
The Politics of a ColdPublished August 28, 2008 work 6 Comments
Tags: sick day!
So I've been laid out all week with some sort of a terrible cold. Is 'exploding ass' and 'projectile vomiting' part of a cold, usually? It's like two terribly different, terribly TERRIBLE illnesses just sort of mashed up together in some sort of illness casserole and I ate it up like it was a delicious bowl of jello. Actually, speaking of Jello, I ought to be eating some of that shit because I can't seem to eat anything else without it running in one direction or the other to get out of my body!
My biggest meal in the past week has been the burrito I consumed after a lot of careful thought today at lunch. Why the careful thought, you ask? Because I am sure it's going to spray it's way out of me later today. I figure it's better to at least try and absorb some sort of nutrients from a food I like instead of eating chicken noodle soup at every meal. Though I am pretty sure that Lipton's chicken noodle soup contains absolutely nothing that resembles chicken. I mean, it's neon green for Pete's sake! I know this because I spilt some on my carpet earlier in the week and spent 20 minutes Bissel-ing the hell out of the rug to get the radioactive soup stain out of my life. It probably only took 20 minutes because I was keeled over weakly rubbing the scrubber back and forth and a very slow pace.
It took me a good 5 days before I actually stopped feeling guilty about being sick and actually laid down for the whole day. I didn't try to tidy. I didn't even try to watch a full episode of one of the 150 court TV shows that seem to be on ALL. DAY. LONG. How glorious it was to just sleep all day. I wish I had a week off to do that without all the coughing and the sore throat! I guess that's why they call it being sick and not, say, a vacation! Yeah, you can have 3 days off, but you're going to have to pay with some sort of stomach/head infection combo! TAKE THAT!
My poor abdomen feels like a wet balloon filled with half-eaten ribs. I always forget about this part of being sick. Normally I can avoid it with cough drops, but I've been advised to avoid any medicine other than vitamin C, as everything else will make me yak. I guess I should get in the tub or something? Does humidity help a cough? Or does it make it worse? Perhaps I ought to just stand outside in some of this glorious Vancouver rain and just soak it in.
It really takes coming to work to realize that you shouldn't have come to work.

Am I right?!
It's eerily quiet here at work, only because I am the only one here. It's nice though, because I was actually able to set up a whole new computer for a co-worker without having ten other people ask me to fix something on their computer. I'm pretty proud of the fact that I am the only one here that knows anything about computers, even if that means I constantly get interrupted to fix something. I feel like I am the Master of the Network! ALL MUST PAY HOMAGE TO THE MASTER OF THE NETWORK!
Luckily, this will earn me Monday off, and I love having a weekday off, so it's win win. I like being home when everyone else is at work, because then I can go anywhere I like without the INSANE crowds. Delightful.
I went to a party last night that someone attended posing as "Dancing Bear." Literally they got dressed up in a suit, bear paws, and a bear head, and talked in a bear voice, and danced all evening for us. I never even saw their face, it was the weirdest, and yet, most awesome thing I've ever seen.
Holy crap someone's gonna get shanked.Published October 12, 2007 work 2 Comments
I don't think I could have gotten more stressed out than I became this morning. Now, don't get me wrong, I like my job a lot, but when all the shit hits the fan at the same time, I seriously want to just scream and go on a punching rampage.
Most of this stress was caused by computers. Computers that I know how to use, and apparently NO ONE ELSE does. For instance, how to properly check your email. Or make a label for an envelope, or where there might be a desk in the building with a free computer and phone.
I also pretty much gave myself a pretty hefty burn on my middle finger from trying to get the shredded shards of an envelope out of a printer. Note to everyone: DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING INSIDE A PRINTER. They heat that shit to like 300 degrees. I am not kidding you. I touched my finger to what I thought was the ink cartridge, and instead got a SEERING HOT blast of pain, which made me run to the kitchen to slam my finger into some cold water.
Then I get the joy of having this dude who is like death manifested into life come in to ask me about some documents for about 30 minutes.
Then enter everyone here coming into my office saying "MY ______ DOESN'T WORK, WAAAAAHHHHH!"
Oh man, I just want to slip into a nice coma right now.
Thank goodness I booked myself a nice, long weekend.
Are You KIDDING Me?Published June 27, 2007 work 5 Comments
Well, I finally got the opportunity to talk to my boss, which was about as easy as attempting to travel to see the Wizard when you're in completely ridiculous ruby slippers. I should have just walked into her office, clicked my heels, and chanted that there was indeed, no place like home.
We sat down and she talked about receiving my notice and respecting it, but then things took an unexpected turn. She actually looked like she was going to cry. Now, slap me if I'm crazy, but I figured I'd get to see some kind of joyous dance ending in the splits. Luckily I managed to keep my jaw from hitting the floor after seeing her distress at my departure. I can tell you that out of all the confusing and frustrating times at this job, that the half hour I spent talking to her about my departure was the most ridiculous.
She talked about how good I was doing, how proud she was of me, and how she would like to write me a reference letter and help me get a new job.
Uhhhhh….I'm sorry, did I walk into the right office here? Am I dreaming? Come on, there's got to be a hidden camera somewhere in here.
She even offered to try and help me get a job with the same org. in Vancouver after I told her I was moving. I believe that I had somehow stepped into an alternate reality at that point. I could have pooped myself out of shock.
Then she went into how bad she felt about the age difference between me and the other women here, and how that must have been tough for me.
Naaaah, I love having my arm halfway down into a huge bag of potato chips while everyone else discusses the hidden fats in the crackers they bought. I really do.
Maybe my boss fell off the roof of the shelter and forgot that she was constantly ON MY CASE and criticized me on a regular basis. Maybe she fell on a pile of old rainbows and lollipops and now rides a unicorn to work.
She apologized for being hard on me, and also stated that the job had too many broad expectations, but that she was really happy to have had me in the job.
At this point I pretty much wanted to walk out and tell her to call me when my real boss came back into work.
Either way I guess I have a lead for a job at the same org in Vancouver if I want it, and a letter of recommendation. It'll probably blow up into fairy dust when I walk out of the building anyway.

JACKSON TWP. Julia Landauer, a 27-year-old NASCAR champion, gave a winning talk as the first speaker for the 29th year of the Kent State at Stark's Featured Speakers Series.
Landauer spoke on Oct. 1 at the KSU conference center with an agenda to encourage others to go after their dreams no matter what roadblocks get in their way. She encourages women's empowerment and is an advocate for STEM education.
The NASCAR racer has set records both on the track and off. She is a two-time champion and has become the highest finishing female in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series' 64-year history. Landauer's courage does not only show on the track but also as a contestant on the 26th season of the CBS TV reality series "SURVIVOR".
The 2014 Stanford University graduate was named to Forbes Magazine's top 30 under 30 list for sports in 2017.
Landauer encouraged those in the audience, especially, the younger students present from North Canton's Middle School STEM class, to go after their dreams.
"If you can dream it, you can do it," she said.
Landauer dreamed of racing from a young age as she spent much of her youth racing go-karts. It was something they did as a family and she loved speeding around the track. When she began racing cars, she felt the undertones of the men not wanting to be beaten by a "girl" in some situations. However, she has found when she does get the respect, it is very loyal.
She also realized early on that to race and live her dream she needed a basic knowledge of technology and Landauer, a New York City student, made her way across the country after high school graduation to attend Stanford and major in Science, Technology and Society. She began her speaking career while in college with a TEDx talk. She speaks for universities, corporations and conferences which includes Fortune's Most Powerful Women.
Through her racing, Landauer has been able to be a strong advocate for STEM education. She also serves as an external advisor to Hyundai Motor Corporation's Center for Robotic-Augmented Design in Living Experience. Her science education is a big part of understanding the race industry. She also collaborates with Spotify, Disney, The Abingdon Company and the One Love Foundation. She collaborated with Disney doing an inspirational video promoting the movie "Cars 3".
She spoke about the advances in safety in racing and how a STEM education is used in racing – understanding the car, the science of the slant of the track and how to maneuver the car through the curves and angles of the track. STEM is used in racing but is also used in many careers from cooking to fashion she told the audience.
One of the things Landauer encouraged the audience to do is stick with a problem until it is solved. She said work with your fears.
"Fear and excitement are closely related." Landauer said, "Jump in and make it work."
She talked about the fact visualization does work. Basketball players who visualize making baskets in their mind find when they get on the court it has helped in their shots at the basket.
"Make allies and build relationships, you never known when a relationship you make can help you down the road," she said.
Landauer was asked how she liked being on "Survior" and she responded that it was hard; she was happy she did it; but it was miserable.
She was also asked what her most frightening experience has been. Surprisingly, it was not a driving experience but while skiing in Europe. She said she and her dad skied down the mountain that was featured in a James Bond movie where they had just about eight feet to ski down with cliff drop offs on both sides. One wrong move and they would be off the cliff.
Coming up next in the speaker's series, March 10, is singer-songwriter, philanthropist and actor Bryan Terrell Clark. He starred as George Washington in the hit "Hamilton: An American Musical" on Broadway. He has been on "Empire," "CSI: NY" and "Blue Bloods." For more information visit www.kent.edu/stark/featured-speakers-series.
The programs are free, but tickets are needed and will be available beginning Feb. 17 at the Main hall information desk beginning at 7:30 a.m. on the release date. Tickets will remain available while supplies last during regular business hours Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

My daughter laughed at me when I said I didn't like to watch curling because everyone else seemed to be into it. Whenever it's on TV, the announcers always have to explain the rules and strategy to newcomers who don't actually know how curling works. My daughter said I was a hipster. I had never heard this term before, so that doesn't make me a hipster, right? P.S. she hangs out at Target, and I've heard this qualifies as well. What are the rules for when people just throw the term out arbitrarily?
I discern two distinct inquiries. One, is it hipster to not watch curling because of the tendency for non-Canadians to jump onto the curling bandwagon every winter? Two, are there any consequences for misusing the term hipster?
In order to respond to the first point, stay with me for a bit while I sketch out a rough timeline of modern curling from the hipster perspective:
1998: Curling returns to Winter Olympics after long hiatus. Hipsters pay no heed, focusing instead on hating popular Olympians in mainstream sports, particularly figure skating and snowboarding.
1999–2009: Canadians enjoy curling in relative peace. For unknown reasons, hipster awareness quietly builds in anticipation of 2010 Olympics. First recorded instances of drunken hipster "curling" contests staged in frozen alleyways across the country. Hipsters enjoy opportunity to claim solidarity with "gentle northern neighbors," i.e. Canadians. Canadians remain ambivalent about American hipsters.
2010: First Olympics where hipsters take serious notice of curling. Hipsters declare allegiance to team Canada, often stretching the truth with claims of having been into curling "since the 90s." First semi-official hipster curling leagues appear in midwestern hipster hubs (Madison, WI; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN; etc.). Within six weeks, hipster curling leagues sprout up in snowless localities where inventive hipsters bend the rules
2013: Peak hipster curling fandom.
2014: Ironic hipster curling fandom spills over into genuine appreciation of the sport. Hipsters speak knowledgeably about curling during 2014 Winter Olympics. Impressed by savvy hipsters, mainstream everyone else starts piling on. Suburban moms post avidly on Facebook about favorite curlers. Too many dank curling memes to count.
2018: Hipsters mostly over it. Too many people annoyingly obsessed with serious-faced Korean curler Kim Eun-jung and her Pokemon socks.
As you can see, the hipster-curling relationship has come full circle in the past decade. Your current stance on curling is very hipster provided you used to be into it, but now you're not. If you're not feeling the curl on account of pure contrarianism, that might even be more hipster, but I'm honestly not sure.
Fortunately, arbitrary use of the term hipster is not punishable under either the California Unwritten Hipster Code or the federal Hipness in Trending Act — two laws you've probably never heard of before. If someone misuses the term, real hipsters take no offense because they know better, and non-hipsters don't know anything is wrong because they don't know better. In either case, nobody's harmed, and no harm, no foul.

Threat Intelligence is now a key resource for Security Operations Centers, yet operationalizing it remains a challenge. In this blog, Graham explores some of the most common challenges and how Corvil can help.
By Graham Ahearne January 14, 2016 Thinking
Attack techniques are becoming more evasive and more sophisticated. In response, Threat Intelligence, which provides proactive, tailored, evidence-based knowledge on cyber attackers and their TTP (tactics, techniques and procedures), has become commonplace as a key resource for Security Operations Centers (SOCs). It is estimated that by 2017, as much as 75% of large enterprises will receive customized Threat Intelligence.
This knowledge is typically provided in consumable forms, including Machine Readable Threat Intelligence (MRTI), yet many Security Operations teams I've spoke with recently are still struggling to effectively operationalize their MRTI. How can they most effectively put it to use to maximise their ability to detect and investigate attacks within their networks? Here's the missing link: the comprehensive knowledge contained in MRTI needs to be coupled with comprehensive visibility of their internal networks and activity. Yet this integrated solution seems to continue to remain elusive for most. Let's explore some of the challenges:
So how does Corvil help Security Operations teams boost the performance they get from their Threat Intelligence?
Corvil's platform achieves comprehensive visibility through an agent-less, passive tap of the network, which it utilises to perform high-speed stream-based L2-L7 decoding, full packet capture and advanced real-time analytics. This visibility, combined with a flexible framework for MRTI ingestion (supporting a range of sources including those based on STIX & TAXII from the likes of FS-ISAC and others), offers superior, real-time, threat indicator detection. How? Glad you asked:
What about when threat indicators are detected and it's time to investigate? A Security Analyst will have many open questions, each of which are challenging to answer: What's the full scope of this attack? — When did it start? — Who is patient zero? — Was any sensitive data compromised? Corvil helps with this too, reducing Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) by providing Security Analysts with SIEM integrated, high definition visibility in the form of messages and packets (available for high speed search), from all observed activity associated with the relevant attack and impacted entities (hosts, users, data).
Check out this recent webinar covering our integration with iSIGHT Partners as an example of how Corvil can enable your SOC to maximise the effectiveness of its Threat Intelligence.
If you are ready to boost the performance you get from your Threat Intelligence, contact us to discuss next steps. Getting Corvil setup in your environment for an evaluation is quick and easy.

It was never this good in Beach Blanket Bingo. Kut U Up's singer/bassist Chris Cote assembled the lineup for Camp Shred, a combination campout, beach party, music fest, and surf-industry demo held at the Cardiff State Beach campgrounds. It's free, all ages, and there's a beer garden if you're 21.
"You can camp the whole weekend," says Cote about Camp Shred, March 11 and 12. "The surf and skate industry will be there with booths to let you try out the latest wetsuits and boards. The stage is on a bluff on a tractor trailer right in the middle."
Cote says Camp Shred will mark the debut of the Mitchell and Messer Tropadelic Jam, including guitarists Isaiah Mitchell (Earthless) and Gabe Messer (Harshtoke, Drowning Men). Cote will spin vinyl and host a trivia contest. "We'll play a song from a classic surf movie and the first person to run up and tell me what movie it's from wins a prize."
While their name suggests a metal band, Encinitas-based Monarch is different from other local longhair psych-rockers such as Joy or Earthless. "We love all that stuff but they are a lot heavier," says singer/guitarist Dominic Denholm. And like their jammin' elders the Allman Brothers, they also have vocals.
Their name Monarch, he says, is more about the butterfly and a unity with nature than a governing entity.
Denholm says the chance to play with Mitchell at Camp Shred brings him full circle. "In middle school we used to get guitar lessons from Isaiah." Mitchell worked and taught at Moonlight Music in the La Paloma Theatre building.
"To us, Camp Shred is like a surf party on the beach," says Denholm. "You don't get to do that anymore. This is, like, in our own backyard...or I guess you could say in our front yard."
Cardiff State Beach (Seaside)
2504 S. Coast Highway 101, Solana Beach
Camp Shred is presented by Surfer magazine, which just became the biggest surfing mag in the lineup. "Surfing magazine just folded," says Cote about the 53-year-old glossy. "I know a lot of good people losing their jobs. It's a bummer. The same thing happened to me." Cote was editor of Transworld Surf when it folded in 2013.
SWIMM, Trevesura, and Americana duo Dorothy and Bill also perform. For more information on Camp Shred, go to campshred.com.
