- 1 c. evaporated milk
- 2/3 c. granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 T. active dry yeast ( 2 envelopes)
- 1/2 c. unsalted butter softened
- 2 lg. eggs lightly beaten
- 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
- 4 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 6 T. unsalted butter softened & divided
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 5 granny smith apples peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 2 T. ground cinnamon
- 3/4 c. confectioner's sugar
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 3 T. unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/2 T. heavy cream
Servings: Rolls
- DOUGH: In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it reaches 95-100 degrees. Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the dough hook and stir in the sugar and yeast. Let stand until the yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
- On low speed, add the softened butter, eggs, and sea salt. Add flour a cup at a time, beating at medium speed until a soft dough forms, about 3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the dough is soft and supple, about 5 minutes longer.
- Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to a large lightly buttered bowl. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and a tea towel, let stand in a warm place until doubled in size about 1 to 2 hours.
- APPLE FILLING: While dough is rising, make the filling. Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter and 1/2 cup sugar in a large skillet, then add the apples. Sauté until apples just begin to caramelized. (Do not over-cook or you will have applesauce.) Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
- Line the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend up the short sides. Butter the paper and sides of the pan; set aside.
- When dough has risen, remove the cover, and punch the dough down with your fist. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 10 x 24-inch rectangle.
- Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons butter out to the edges. Sprinkle the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter. Spread the apple filling over the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Tightly roll up the dough to form a 24-inch-long log.
- Cut the log into quarters. Cut each quarter into 4 slices (1 1/2-inches each) and arrange them in the prepared baking pan. (15 rolls will fit in the pan, you will have 1 roll left over) Cover the rolls and let them rise in a warm place until they are puffy and have filled the baking pan, about 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes, until they are golden and the apple filling is bubbling. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare glaze.
- CINNAMON GLAZE: In a small bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon with the butter and heavy cream until the glaze is thick and spreadable. Dollop glaze over each roll and spread with an offset spatula. Serve warm or at room temperature.

And suddenly it was December. Wow- how this year has flown by. We have been so lucky and happy to work on so many great projects this year, and there are many, many more to share with you. This is definitely one of my favorites that we have done lately, we started with their wood veneer save the dates cards using our hand drawn bluebird of happiness design, and carried that theme through to their mailed wedding invitation set. I love all the tiny extra personal touches we snuck in. Their cat waiting on the rsvp envelope, a tiny paw print on the map, a small nautical star here and there. It's so much fun for me to add these quirky personal additions- after all what's the point of a custom invitation set if it's not customized to you?!

_____It was a good thing dad was there, too. If he hadn't been, I probably would have gone home without doing any fishing, because the top of the ice showed long cracks and there was a distinct "pop" when I stepped onto the pond. That's . . . . not a good sound, but it turned out to be nothing. It seems the snow on top of the ice had been melting down the day before, then refrozen during the night, and was now melting again. So what we were walking on was actually a sandwich of frozen layers. The top was the crust of refrozen snow, maybe half an inch to an inch thick. Below that was 2-3 inches of slushy, grainy frozen stuff about halfway between ice and snow. None of that would have held me for a moment! But below those layers was a solid crust of ice almost 8 inches thick. It was perfectly safe and solid footing as long as we stayed away from brush sticking up through the ice. Dad went as far as to stop and drill a hole to check the ice, which convinced me . . . but not Donovan, who remained convinced for some time that we were about to go through the ice at any moment. For my part, if dad says it's safe, that's good enough for me. The man is an ice expert.
_____We were fishing a huge pond surrounded by wooden hills, a place owned by a distant relative out west of town. Things started out slowly, but soon we were pulling fish out of the dark, watery holes every few minutes. Kane loves ice fishing, and he's good at it, which makes sense; he struggles with casting, but on the ice, there's no casting to be done. He has a hard time seeing his line or a bobber out on the water, but on the ice, he can just lower his baited jig straight down over a brushpile or a small rock reef and wait for the bite. Donovan had a much harder time; he was just not setting the hook, and he was soon convinced that he had never caught a fish and never would. The poor kid was just looking for an excuse to be depressed. Dad came to the rescue again in the end, just as he often does; he hooked a bluegill and handed the pole to Donovan to reel him in. This he did without a smile or any indication that he was happy to be doing it, but he did it, so when I next found myself with a small bass on my hook, I called Donovan over and let him reel mine in, too. We did this a few times, and it was almost as if Donovan had only needed the practice. Maybe that was it, after all--maybe he just needed to get used to the feel of a live fish on the line. Whatever the reason, he perked up, started setting the hook with more authority, and began to catch fish. By the time we were ready to leave, he had a respectable pile of bluegill and crappie at his feet and a smile on his face.
_____By about 3:00 we were ready to go. We were nearly out of hot chocolate, the sun had gone back into hiding, the temperature was dropping, and we intended to follow Rule 6: Always get off the pond early enough to clean and fry the fish for dinner! This we did with alacrity and aplomb, and a fine dinner was had by all.

For example, the fire control centre project was costed at £100 million, is now running at £1.4 billion and is "only" two years late at present. On the subject of the big things, a very reasonable outline of what is wrong with the NHS. Similarly on the subject of the War on Drugs . When are we actually going to start having a rational discussion of this subject? A quick note on how the world changed in the past year. A change in thinking on the sub prime mortgage mess in the US. Will the music industry change quite so much as to lead to this dystopia? And finally, there'll always be an England and be careful how much electricty you try to save.

Summary this episode : Cook (Jack O'Connell) has a job delivering drugs to Manchester Revellers. When he is asked to help his employer's girlfriend find a house and finds that he is irresistibly attracted to her, he sets off a train of events which will lead him into a world of savage revenge and a confrontation with his own violent past.
Watch HERE
When mystery-thriller writer Richard Skins (Nathan Fillion) is called in to help investigate a series of copycat murders based on his books, he finds he enjoys the experience sufficiently to want to continue it. Pulling strings, he arranges to accompany NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), claiming he wants to study and use her as a personality basis for his next book series. Once that initial case was solved, Skins and Beckett continued to investigate strange homicides in New York, combining Skins's writer intuition and Beckett's creative detective work. Over the past four seasons, Skins and Beckett's relationship has grown even stronger as they've dodged bullets, captured killers, and solved countless murder cases with their unorthodox partnership.

As usual with OPI, I am in love with the pro-wide brush which makes it easy to apply the polish within 3 strokes. It looked a little streaky after just one coat - I settled on two coats but I think 3 coats would have been better as I can now see patches which seem to have a little less polish on than the rest of the nail.
|2 coats + Poshe topcoat
The colour is very flattering and I'd imagine it would suit all skin tones. It's the kind of shade you'd expect to find on a Mini Egg - yum!

Take Your Political Correctness Elsewhere
Many months have passed since I watched 'The Hateful 8' at the cinema, and got to bask in all it's violent glory. It's a film I had been looking forward to when I heard about it's script being leaked. I never bothered reading the script, instead I wanted to remain surprised, and I am so glad I held out from taking a sneak peak of what was to come. I saw 'The Hateful 8' with my four best friends and my partner, who are all open minded when it comes to film, and will usually give most things ago no matter how awful they are. These people were the best kind of people to watch 'The Hateful 8' with, because I knew once the film was over, the discussion would be full of praise, happiness, and our nostalgic buttons would be pressed. Is it bad when that button is pressed? Hell no. I know you elitist film snobs out there don't like to let yourself enjoy films which pander to your childhood or a period in your life where you were more impressionable. It seems we cannot like a film just because it pays homage to a genre or style of film, as well as being fun, which for people can be extremely engaging. It's becoming increasingly aware that we have to like films that have a message, as well as appeal to subcultures that were once ostracised. We are meant to be equals when it comes to film, we are meant to make sure that our films are politically correct with the right amount of diversity. This is how we are meant to engage with our audiences now as we are apparently more 'socially aware'. Well I call bullshit on that.
After watching 'The Hateful 8', I decided to peruse the message boards on IMDB as well as reading articles and essays on the film; opinions were very divided. 'The Hateful 8' is a film with no middle ground, you either loved it for it's creativity to incorporate themes from the film The Thing and melt that with the Exploitation and Spaghetti Western genres, or you hated it for it's lack of strong female lead, over-the-top violence and time length. I read an article on the film which stated how women didn't like the way Jennifer Jason Leigh's character was constantly battered around, whether it was an elbow to the face or her graphic demise. Firstly let's get this straight, her character was in a gang, she murdered people, she was caught, she had a freakin' bounty on her head which is explained pretty early on in the film, so why the problem? Is it because she's a woman? Would you have the same reaction if it was a white man? No you wouldn't.
The more threads and articles that I read on 'The Hateful 8', the more I was aware that people are really trying to 'police' what we can and can't watch by deeming what is socially acceptable, and what isn't. I am not saying important real life issues should not be brought to us through film. I thought 'Spotlight' was a magnificent film which brought forward an issue that NEEDED to be addressed. Yes we do need films like 'Spotlight', but what ever happened to us being in a fantasy. Why can't we just go to the cinema and watch a film because we like the genre or a specific actor that is appearing in the film? Why does it always have to be about a social justice theme? Why is everything so political, and why are film fans like myself forced to feel bad for not wanting to continuously bask in depression on-screen? I suffer from depression and anxiety and have done so for many years. I don't watch or read the news, you may think I am uneducated but to be honest I am depressed as it is already without having constant updates on why the human race is so shitty.
I love exploitation films which push the envelope and hold up a mirror to society and show everyone for what they really are in a grotesque and vile manner; I will never deny that. However I am deemed someone with a low standard of film taste because I love films like 'I Spit on Your Grave', which has just as much an important message to give as 'The Accused' - another film depicting the effects of gang rape. But why is one film deemed a respectable piece of cinema with stunning and real portrayals that are worthy of Academy Awards, and the other depicted as dirt not worthy of a proper cinematic release? Why the double standards? Oh you want diversity, you want to tackle 'tough' issues Hollywood, just as long as you get to pick and choose right?
Violence in films is an issue that is brought up a lot on the IMDB message boards, Twitter and Facebook. I cannot count the amount of articles I have read where people are disgusted with violence, depravity or anything with a tiny whiff of a film being gratuitous. I understand that violence is not everyone's cup of tea, that I have no problem with. But when I see the same kind of people that post those articles and shrieking "WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN" and then posting comments about how much they 'adored' the pretentious arthouse violence that we see in films like 'Salo' and 'Neon Demon', it makes me realise just how many hypocrites there are.
The Great Depression was a time when people needed that fantasy of a film. People would save every dollar they could to actually go to the cinema, and forget what real life bestowed upon them for a couple of hours. We are living in a time now where we are dealing with religious bigots, over-saturation of political rallies, high-school shootings, terrorists, global warming, third-wave feminism, Catholic church abuse cover-ups. And the last thing I want to see on screen is the exact same tripe which is blasted all over the news or social media.

Our Unexpected Journey/
Floyd continues to be a combination of active and quiet this week. Some friends came to the hospital to give him a haircut. And on one of the beautiful warm days, the therapists took him outside for some fresh air and sunshine. I'm sure he loved it. It's his first time to sit outside in almost 9 months. He always enjoys being outdoors!
I think sometimes he is bewildered by all that is going on around him. I see it reflected in his eyes. I can only imagine how strange (frightening?) it must feel to have no control over what is happening to you - and not understand things. We keep praying for the Spirit to remind him that he is loved and not abandoned.
There are many things that have been hard/difficult over the last months. It's been a challenging time on so many levels. But there are two things in particular that have seemed constant – and difficult.
The first one is the "aloneness." We married so young (18 and 21) – we say we "grew up" together. :) A deep friendship developed as we learned and grew. We've considered ourselves each other's best friends. We talked about everything. We loved being together. We had lots of plans for the future years.
It feels so strange not to have Floyd to talk to, process with, ask advice, and just share life after being together for 49 years. Everything happened so quickly with his illness. When things started on that Tuesday morning, we were just dealing with the problem of the pain – trying to find out what was wrong and how to bring relief. There was no inkling of where this was headed and how things would end up. I would have never dreamed that all these months later he would be in this condition. It often feels surreal.
I would have loved to have talked about "what if." And how shall I handle a myriad of things? What would you like me to do? There was never even a chance to say goodbye because we had no idea it would be needed.
I wish I could turn the clock back and do things differently. But we rarely get those kinds of opportunities. I saw a phrase recently that spoke to me - "When God conceals His purposes, He consoles with His promises." God has no responsibility to tell us all His purposes. I've longed to know what God is "up to." But I don't yet understand. However He doesn't just leave us on our own - He consoles us. I love how God balances things out!
I've been reflecting on a few of His promises. There are so many that it would take whole books to mention all of them.
"God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 - He'll take care of me, meet my needs. He'll be a husband to me in Floyd's absence.
" 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 - His grace is sufficient - His power will be with me in my weakness. He's not frustrated or disappointed in me when I'm weak. It's an opportunity for Him to show His power.
"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13 - He'll remember that I'm weak. He'll give me strength.
"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5 - I may feel alone as I shared above.....but I'm not!!! He never forsakes me. He never abandons me. He never leaves me on my own. Thank you Lord!
The second thing that has been very hard is that I feel "stuck" in a situation – while life around me continues on. This contributes to the feeling of aloneness. I am alone – while everyone else continues on with life, activities, etc. I have to daily keep going with no end in sight to what I'm walking through. It's a bit like being on a never-ending merry-go-round.......that goes around and around and around. The scenery doesn't change. The horse I'm riding on doesn't change direction. It just keeps going around endlessly.
I don't exactly know how to describe it. It feels claustrophobic - like things are closing in on me in the "sameness" day after day. And while I love going to be with Floyd, it's also such an emotional experience each and every time. I expect it to get easier because I know what to expect, but it doesn't.
There is nothing "wrong" about any of this – and I certainly want everyone else to continue on with their lives. But it's a just part of the challenge of what I face in my life right now. It accentuates everything else. I ask for His grace to be faithful as I circle around and around.
Again, as with just about everything in my life, I turn to the Word with this burden. The Word speaks to what I'm walking through and nourishes my heart to not faint, but persevere.
"I know whom I have believed, and I am sure that He is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me." 2 Timothy 1:12 - I have come to realize that God has "entrusted" this journey to me. I don't know why. I don't feel adequate to the task, but He's given it to me. I know that HE can help me "guard" this path I'm walking on and fulfill His purposes.
"David strengthened himself in the Lord His God." 1 Samuel 30:6 - Every time I feel weak, overwhelmed, stuck, inadequate - I breathe a prayer and ask for extra strength. Thank goodness God has a never-ending supply to draw on and give to me.
"The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms." Deuteronomy 33:27 - When I'm feeling particularly weak, I picture myself relaxing into His strong arms........or running to a secure dwelling place where I'm safe.
"I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill." Psalm 3:4 - Every time I'm feeling alone, stuck, like I just can't make it - I cry out. He hears me from His holy hill in heaven and sends His Spirit to help and rescue me.
I'm so grateful for God's faithfulness in meeting me in these things. He never reprimands me for my vulnerability and tenderness, my "rawness" in the emotions of it, my weakness.......He always responds with love and grace. And His word pours the balm of truth and who He is into my wounds. Thank you Lord!
Over these months the Lord has given me a way to process and handle these difficult times. God always provides help for what we face!
I've found that there are three simple keys/tools He's given me to respond with when I'm feeling weak, in need, vulnerable:
- The first is to simply dig deeper in my walk with the Lord. At the point of difficulty, I need to immediately acknowledge my need, my weakness. Doing that is a protection from the enemy trying to exploit my vulnerability with his lies! It also stops the focus of being on my needs, and turns it to a positive of deeper intimacy and friendship with Him. I'm sure one of the things the Lord wants to do in me during this journey is draw me closer to Himself!
I should also say - that sometimes when the hurt and pain is so deep and overwhelming, it may be hard to even pray and turn to Him. I find I have to choose to do that - to fix my mind on Him not on my troubles! It can be hard when the pain is so strong. But as I ask for His help, and go deeper in my love for Him, it brings peace of mind and calmness of spirit.
- As I'm doing this, I need to immerse myself in the truth of the Word. Going to the Word is so important because it takes the focus off of what I'm feeling to the solid foundation of what God says in His Word. The promises from the Word can also be turned into prayers. And, again, speaking out the firm, secure, wonderful truth from the Word is a further protection from the enemy.
- I also find it so very helpful to bring to mind how God has met me and our family in the past with answered prayer. I recall specific testimonies to mind of His goodness, His help, His provision, His healing. It's a "stake in the ground" in declaring God can do this!! He's helped us before and He'll do it again! It builds faith in my heart, and it releases a spirit of praise by acknowledging His faithfulness in the past.
In moments of vulnerability and weakness, I have found these steps to be incredibly life giving and helpful. It turns the difficult moments around, and gets them focused in the right direction.
The "secret" of finding His peace is in giving every pain, every care to Him.
"I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer." Psalm 40:17 - We are always in His thoughts, and He is ready to deliver!
I have been thinking about a quote I read. "Faith is the link that connects our weakness to God's strength." I pictured a heavy gold link charm bracelet in my mind. One end is a charm that symbolizes my weakness, my tiredness, my vulnerability. On the other end is a charm that symbolizes God's power, might, strength, sufficiency. And in between are links of FAITH!
I feel challenged to keep faith alive in my heart. Faith for all of God's plans and purposes to be fulfilled. Faith for God to meet me day by day on this long journey. Faith for abundant strength and grace. Faith for God to be glorified in His will for Floyd.
"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3 - He'll show us difficult things, impossible things. He'll answer prayers that we hardly have faith for, because He is great!
"The word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it." Hebrews 4:2 - Faith - that very important link that we need!
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 - I want to keep my faith alive to pray for what I do not yet see!
Some days in my tiredness, I don't think I can......but He can. I'm stirring my faith up to receive from His mighty hand!

With Monday's Anthony Weiner news, I'm seeing a lot of people make statements along the lines of this from John Fugelsang, which I don't think is quite right:
The thing is: Weiner's congressional career wasn't exactly brought down by the sexting scandal. It was brought down by the sexting scandal and by Weiner's status as a terrible coworker.
When Weiner became embroiled in scandal in 2011, then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she'd like him to resign, as did Steve Israel, the congressman who ran the campaign committee charged with electing Democrats to the House.
Weiner's lack of intraparty support in the face of the scandal was what made his position untenable. And he lacked support within the House Democratic conference for a reason.
"Offstage, those who worked alongside him say, Mr. Weiner was a lawmaker with little patience for making laws and a single-minded focus on generating attention so he could run for mayor of New York," The New York Times reported in 2013, when Weiner was seeking his comeback in the New York mayoral race.
In one instance, Weiner threatened to hold up the Affordable Care Act in committee if he was not allowed to offer an amendment to replace it with a single-payer plan. This would have burnished Weiner's left-wing credentials. But it would not have led to the enactment of single-payer — it would have forced Democratic colleagues to take another politically difficult vote. And if the amendment had passed, it would have led to the ACA being defeated in Congress.
Weiner gave up his demand to offer the amendment, but The Times reported he got a concession in exchange: a prime speaking slot on the night of passage, and the vote-tally sheet, which he held up on the cover of The Daily News.
In a way, Weiner was his party's Ted Cruz: He made a lot of noise about ideas like single-payer healthcare that turned on his party's ideological base, but he had few actual legislative accomplishments, and he made the hard work of enacting his party's achievable goals more difficult. This annoyed Weiner's colleagues, and it's no surprise that when a scandal had his career teetering over a ledge, they chose to push him.
So one lesson to take from Weinergate is not to text pictures of your junk to strangers, repeatedly, even after you have promised not to do so anymore. But another lesson to take is that there are consequences to being a bad coworker.

Our Future Today
What a wonderful train ride we've had on the M&ET! From our first locomotive -- a gas-powered passenger coach -- to several steam locomotives, to the GE 70-tonners, to the EMD SW1500s and, now, today's 2000Hp GenSets ... officially unveiled here.
No question the GE-70 tonners have been our dependable workhorses for many years. However, our growing need for greater power, along with advances in technology and a better understanding of the impact of emissions, M&ET has proudly joined a more green-era! As stated "After working with a Railpower demonstration unit for over two weeks, the decision to purchase their Eco-Motive locomotive was easy for us. Not only does the model meet our area's current and future emission standards, but it achieves a level of performance that our current fleet cannot match. The unrivaled tractive effort it delivers allows us to pull more with less, which positively affects our bottom line."
We are very pleased at M&ET to be one of the first railroads in the nation to operate a 100% GenSet fleet!
Color and graphics on this GenSet were designed by M&ET employee, Mark Forrest ...
... great job, Mark!

A novel in a month?
You can totally do that.
But here are my caveats: My opinion is not universal. There are many paths to writing and publication. Every writer has a different process, and often, every book has its own process. You don't have to follow these steps to find success.
That being said, I've written quite a few books and novellas, and if I could go back in time and give myself advice, this is what I'd say. I'd bring cake, though, because the truth is somewhat painful. Especially step 10.
1. Publicly commit to it and make yourself accountable.
Goals should be attainable, quantifiable, and public. So let your support system, whether online or in real life, know what your goal is, how you're going to attain it, and how to keep you honest. Keep your word count on your blog or tweet your progress every day. If you're following the NaNoWriMo rules, that means you're going to write 50,000 words between November 1 and November 30, which works out to 1667 words per day, give or take a letter.
2. Give yourself permission to suck.
Everyone's first drafts suck. Let go of perfection and acknowledge that there is no one way to write, no One Perfect Story. Just try to hammer out your story, scene by scene, goal by goal. Fix it later. Imperfection is the thief of progress.
Don't think of it as a masterpiece. Thing of it as a fun story you're telling yourself. Take risks. When faced with two choices, give your character a reason to choose the most interesting one. Safe choices are boring, and if you're emotionally clenched up and terrified of doing it "wrong", you and your character will only make safe choices.
3. Write a brief synopsis or outline to give yourself a road map.
It's hard to figure out where you're going if you don't know where to start and where you want to end up. Especially if this is your first novel, it can help to give yourself a short, not-too-detailed guide. Here are the basic things you need to know: who is the protagonist, what is the world, what is the instigating factor that kicks off the plot, what happens at the climax, and what happens at the end? You can figure out the rest on the way.
If it's your first book, I recommend having a single main character with a single point of view vs. trying for a GRRM-style sweeping saga that requires a map and language guide.
4. Make sure you know your protagonist and that they are not an everyman or a Mary Sue.
If you're going to stick with someone for 50,000 pages and several revisions, they need to be compelling and real, with strengths and flaws and a realistic backstory. Why are they the way they are? What will they learn in your story that will give them a satisfying character arc? What kinds of friends, lovers, and foes will challenge and compliment them in unique ways? What is the motivation that drives them on every page? What, in short, do they want, and what will they do to get it?
5. Know where you're going to start each day.
"Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." -E.L. Doctorow
And that means that whenever you sit down to write, you should've been thinking about where you stopped the day before and where you want to get today. One of the worst things a writer can do, in my opinion, is sit down with no earthly idea what to write. It's not going to magically pop into your brain just because you want it to. That's why I think the idea of "the Muse" is BS.
You are driving this car. You have to do the homework of knowing what the next scene is about. Maybe not all the details, but "He's going to wake up and find a dead woman on the porch," is better than, "Uh, well, he went to bed last night, and, um..."
My trick? I always stop writing at a place where I know what happens next. Then I think about it, really hard and figure out how to make that scene exciting. Next time I sit down, I know exactly where I am and where I'm going to go, one scene at a time.
6. Start writing. Sit down at your keyboard and do not stop until you've hit your goal.
1667 words is about 5.5 pages, if you're using the standard manuscript format. That means 1" margin all around, double spaced, .5 indent before each paragraph.
While you are sitting at your keyboard, do not browse the internet. Do not tell Twitter about how you're writing and then talk to other people about writing. Do not shop or check email. Just write. Do not get up until you have reached your goal. If you go over your goal, reward yourself.
I'm a big believe in rewarding yourself.
7. If you miss a day, do not berate yourself or feel like crap. Make up for it quickly.
Missing a microgoal just kills, doesn't it? It totally throws off your game and gives you permission to make the same mistake again. But in this case, the missed words will rain down on you like an avalanche if you get too far behind. 1667 words a day is doable. Missing four days and suddenly having a *does math* 6668-word deficit is pretty scary.
So in order to not set yourself up for defeat, put in the work each day. They may not be the best 1667 words you've ever written, and that's okay. Even pro writers have days when we feel like our writing is crap, but we have faith that we'll be able to fix it in the future.
Butt in chair. Fingers on keyboard. Write like a mofo.
8. Do not reread what you've already written. Do not look back. Move bravely forward.
Here is how momentum dies: You stop moving forward.
Revising is a thing that happens later, when you've got a completed book and you know how it all ends. That's when you take another look at your first chapter or that scene you futzed up. If you keep messing around in what you've already done, you're wasting time that could be used to up your game and get more words on the page.
Yes, some famous authors revise as they go. You are not (yet) a famous author. You are not that good. *I* am not that good. We mere mortals will benefit more from finishing one crappy book that we can fix later than from massaging a scene for days, seeking some ultimate perfection we'll never reach.
So keep typing. Don't look back. Pretend you're being chased by werewolves.
9. Final wordcount. Did you hit it?
YES, but I'm not done = GREAT! YOU WON! Keep going. Finish the book!
NO = THAT'S OK. Keep going. Finish the book!
The thing is, most YA and Adult books are around 70k to 100k words long, depending on the genre and how many words you need to tell the story. 50k isn't generally a complete book, but it's a great starting point. You will most likely know where you need to add scenes or bulk up words once you've got a complete story and are in revisions.
The point of NaNoWriMo is to write a novel in a month. This novel is not expected to be complete or perfect. That's what revisions are for. Which brings me to...
10. Remember: December is NANOFIXMO.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm teaching a NANOFIXMO class for LitReactor.
The sad truth is that THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO is finish a NaNoWriMo book and immediately start querying agents. They will not be impressed with a December 1 query letter that starts with, "I have just completed my first novel for NaNoWriMo and am querying you so that we can both make a million dollars." They will shudder and send a form rejection because rewriting is the biggest part of writing. And rewriting is not doing a quick read-through for typos and sitting around smugly, waiting for the full requests to roll in.
Rewriting is looking at theme, story arc, plot, tension, stakes, subplots, realistic characters, tone, voice, representation, grammar, and punctuation and making sure that your book is as tight as a narwhal's butt. Rewriting is putting your book away for a few weeks so you can look at it with new, more unbiased eyes. Rewriting is hunting for adverbs and purple prose and infodumps and darlings and DESTROYING THEM. Rewriting is showing agents, when you do query, that you are capable of the hardest, most humbling, most time-consuming part of the writer's life. Rewriting is a challenge, but it's necessary, and if you've taken the time to win NaNo, you should take the time to finish the job right.
I hope that helps, and if you have any questions, please ask in the comments or on Twitter, @DelilahSDawson.
Above all, remember this: I believe in you! YOU CAN DO EET!
And that's from the girl who wrote her first book at 32 while hallucinating from lack of sleep with a new baby. :)
Need more tips? Scroll through this blog for hints on developing ideas, editing, writing interesting characters, and more. Or hit that Resources for Writers tab at the top for all the links I used to get an agent and a traditional publishing deal within 2 years of writing my first book. I was found in the slush, and so can you!

What is data science? You may or may not have heard of it before because it is a newer term. It has only existed for 10 years in its current form with widespread use beginning just a few years ago. But what if I associate it with machine learning and data mining? Does an idea start to take form?
Data science, a somewhat nebulous term with many definitions, has a common root; data science is the process of manipulating data via mathematical and scientific methods in order to accomplish an objective, the outcome of which could be called a data analytic. Results are then displayed to your audience.
Data science is a rapidly growing field, spurred on by the big data revolution, and is hot right now.
And that is why the Mid-Maryland Data Science (MMDS) meetup was created. Data science will be a fundamental part of the next big culture shift. But to be an active participant, knowledge is required. MMDS is an avenue to obtain that knowledge.
So what is next? If the outcome of the data science process is a data analytic, then it is time to look at the pieces required for a successful analytic.
These are the focus areas of MMDS. Events and speakers will address one or more of these areas in across many different industries.
Without an adequate infrastructure, an analytic can never exist. Many common infrastructures today use hadoop, map reduce, hbase, accumulo, R and python among many other technologies. Most of these are geared toward big data but data analytics are not exclusive to big data sets.
People are the second component, the human infrastructure. The best data science teams are not solely engineers or statisticians or any other single group. They are technological melting pots comprised of many skill sets. The common trait they share is the desire to investigate data and discover correlations, both obvious and hidden.
Data is the currency of the data scientist and it is paramount for their survival. Data that is prepared and cleaned is data that is ideally unbiased and consistent. In the real world, this typically means that data is consistent and biased in known ways. When biases affecting the data are known, models can take those biases into account and attempt to mitigate them.
The point of a model is to simulate a real world situation. The better the model is at achieving that goal, the more helpful a data analytic will be. But models are not necessarily right for every situation. If the goal is to rank a list of items based solely on which item appears the most times, then a model is not needed. Part of the model creation process is to determine if a model is needed.
The two examples are a Nate Silver presentation of the political parties of winning presidential candidates at the state level over the past 50 years and a video documenting Foursquare check-ins in New York City before, during and after Superstorm Sandy respectively. Both are wonderful examples of presentations enhancing data to tell a more compelling story.
Just creating a data analytic is often not enough. It must also incorporate some sort of feedback mechanism. A feedback mechanism helps improve the model and therefore the analytic. Users are a dynamic group that can change over time and an appropriate feedback mechanism helps the analytic change with its users.
This slide was current as of the night before the presentation. At the time of this writing, MMDS now has 250 members.
Now lets see what skills MMDS members have and what aspirations they have.
The business category contains CEOs, CTOs, investors, founders of companies and startup consultants among others. Scientists are also a varied group. These include data scientists as well as computer scientists. At first glance, this looks like a mistake but members chose carefully between developers/engineers and computer scientists and so this distinction was kept for this metric.
MMDS members already have many skills that directly apply to the phases of a successful analytic. MMDS meetups will help round out the rest.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The essence of Christmas and Advent season is sacred to me, but the actual process of getting to December 25th can be stressful. My family is comprised of foodies. Everyone cooks and cooks really good food, so Thanksgiving has always been our special time.
I'm so extremely thankful I was able to get just enough time off of work to make it home to Chicago for Thanksgiving this year. It'll be the quickest trip, but a trip none the less. We can't wait to see our families.
Can I talk about my husband for a moment? If I'm going to say one thing I am thankful for this year, it is Jordan Short. He is kind, strong, funny, and the hardest working man I know. He supports my creative endeavors and holds me during the hard moments. I wouldn't want to spend my days with anyone else.
I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! And let's remember, calories don't count on holidays.

Four die in early morning Trinidad car crash
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — Four people, including a fireman, died after the vehicle in which they were travelling crashed into a lamp post in Central Trinidad early Saturday morning, police said.
They have identified two of those killed as fireman Kerwin Duncan and 28-year-old disc jockey, Dwayne Dick.
Police said the four men were returning from a party, when the driver lost control and crashed into a utility pole in Longdenville, near Chaguanas.
Two of them were thrown out of the vehicle and died instantly, while the other two men who have not yet been identified died at the Chaguanas Health Facility.
Relatives said that Dick had played at a party in Caparo and his three friends also attended the event to support him.
"I am still in shock. I still can't believe he is gone. This is so hard for me. I am just out of it right now," Dick's girlfriend, Shenell Sealey, told reporters, adding "I just wish this was a dream and I would wake up and see him".

Maryland My Maryland Lyrics
Maryland State Song Lyrics
Maryland My Maryland Lyrics
Written by James Ryder Randall
The despot's heel is on thy shore, Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door, Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore, Maryland! My Maryland!
Hark to an exiled son's appeal, Maryland!
My mother State! to thee I kneel, Maryland!
For life and death, for woe and weal, Thy peerless chivalry reveal,
And gird thy beauteous limbs with steel, Maryland! My Maryland!
Thou wilt not cower in the dust, Maryland!
Thy beaming sword shall never rust, Maryland!
Remember Carroll's sacred trust, Remember Howard's warlike thrust,-
And all thy slumberers with the just, Maryland! My Maryland!
Come! 'tis the red dawn of the day, Maryland!
Come with thy panoplied array, Maryland!
With Ringgold's spirit for the fray, With Watson's blood at Monterey,
With fearless Lowe and dashing May, Maryland! My Maryland!
Come! for thy shield is bright and strong, Maryland!
Come! for thy dalliance does thee wrong, Maryland!
Come to thine own heroic throng, Stalking wtih Liberty along,
And chaunt thy dauntless slogan song, Maryland! My Maryland!
Dear Mother! burst the tyrant's chain, Maryland!
Virginia should not call in vain, Maryland!
She meets her sisters on the plain- "Sic semper!" 'tis the proud refrain
That baffles minions back again, Maryland! My Maryland!
I see the blush upon thy cheek, Maryland!
For thou wast ever bravely meek, Maryland!
But lo! there surges forth a shriek From hill to fill, from creek to creek-
Potomac calls to Chesapeake, Maryland! My Maryland!
Thou wilt not yield the vandal toll, Maryland!
Thou wilt not crook to his control, Maryland!
Better the fire upon thee roll, Better the blade, the shot, the bowl,
Than crucifixion of the soul, Maryland! My Maryland!
I hear the distant thunder-hum, Maryland!
The Old Line's bugle, fife, and drum, Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb- Huzza! she spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! she burns! she'll come! she'll come! Maryland! My Maryland!

By Shankar Vedantam
Monday, April 28, 2008
Put yourself in the shoes of Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. You are widely seen by Democratic voters as a transformational presidential candidate. Democrats are nearly evenly divided between you and your competitor, and you think you are the best candidate for your party -- and the one more likely to beat Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in November. Your supporters passionately believe you ought to win the race.
The longer the race goes on, however, the more bitter it becomes. Increasing numbers of your supporters say they will never support your competitor. And growing numbers of Democrats, once excited at the prospect of two extraordinary candidates, are turned off by all the negativity. What should you do? Pulling out of the race means giving up your dream -- when you think you are the better choice. Staying in risks collective disaster.
The fault line in this dilemma -- the interests of a candidate pitted against the collective interest of his or her party -- shows up in many economic and political domains and is sometimes called the "tragedy of the commons." Individuals embroiled in similar dilemmas find them impossible to solve on their own, because they are confronted by a Hobson's Choice: Act selfishly and cause collective disaster, or act altruistically and aid someone else who is acting selfishly. Either way, selfishness wins.
"The way the system is set up, the more-selfish person has a higher probability of winning," social psychologist W. Keith Campbell said of the Democratic primary. "You end up with the more narcissistic, belligerent candidate."
Campbell once conducted an experiment that tested the same fault line. He asked volunteers to play the role of timber companies in a forest. The volunteers were told they could harvest a certain number of acres each year, and were also told how quickly the forest could replenish itself. The question was whether volunteers -- thinking on their own and without discussions with other volunteers -- would restrict themselves to taking less than half the timber that they were allowed. If everyone did this, the forest would replenish itself in perpetuity, creating the greatest wealth in the long term.
But because the volunteers did not know whether their kindness would be reciprocated by others or exploited by competitors, people raced to cut as much timber as they could and quickly razed the forests to the ground. Groups with volunteers more willing to think about the collective good preserved their forests longer. But selfish people within these groups had a field day exploiting the altruists -- and the forests perished anyway.
Campbell's experiment is particularly relevant to politics, because he found that groups with a larger number of narcissists -- people with an inflated sense of their own importance -- tended to raze the forests much faster than groups in which people felt less self-important. Politics, unfortunately, happens to be a domain that self-selects people with an inflated sense of their own importance.
In fact, one method Campbell used to ascertain whether a volunteer was a narcissist likely to cause collective catastrophe was to ask the person to choose one of the following statements to describe himself or herself. (No prizes for guessing how presidential aspirants would answer.)
1. If I ruled the world, it would be a much better place.
2. The thought of ruling the world frightens the hell out of me.
While it is easy to understand why worried Democrats have begun to advise Clinton and Obama to keep the good of the party in mind and to refrain from beating each other up so badly that neither can win in November, such advice overlooks the central problem with tragedies of the commons, which University of Arizona political scientist Edella Schlager summed up neatly: "Rational individuals are trapped. To act rationally, to pursue one's self-interest, leads to collective ruin. To act irrationally, to place the collective interest above one's self-interest, exposes one to exploitation."
Schlager said the only way to prevent tragedies of the commons is to set up structures in advance that reward long-term thinking and punish short-term selfishness. This happens mostly among competitors who share long-term interests and have social relationships of trust: If you and I are Maine lobstermen, we are likely to agree to set up limits on the overall catch each year because we see our future, and our children's future, inextricably linked. In the absence of trust and long-term relationships, the only way to prevent these tragedies is to have an outside regulatory agency step in to establish -- and enforce -- limits.
Bitter political contestants such as Obama and Clinton cannot behave like Maine lobstermen because a political race is, by definition, a short-term struggle. Minus intervention by "outside regulators" -- in this case, neutral Democratic Party leaders who can establish and enforce limits on the race -- a perfectly rational Obama and a perfectly rational Clinton can easily drive their party over a cliff.

text: NFG 14 Posted April 2 As a newcomer to A.Photo, I'm trying to ease my way in by remapping the shortcuts, and it's been a fairly tedious task. I've already lodged a bug for the ability to clear but not set the DELETE key, but the whole experience is sub optimal. 1. The warning when you're using a similar keystroke is only slightly more helpful than simply telling me 'that key is in use'. It tells me what command is using it, but not where, and there are literally dozens of options, each with potentially dozens more sub options to hunt through. For someone unfamiliar with the software, trying to find that obscure command (is it a tool? Is it under Document, Layer or Edit or Arrange or etc etc). It would be super helpful if it had a button for 'clear other', and better still if it let me re-map that other command on the spot. As a simple solution, one more option to list all the conflicts would help resolve the issues once I'm done remapping one group or another, otherwise it's nigh impossible to remember all the things that need fixing. 2. The search function is basically useless. A search for 'zoom' doesn't bring up any keyboard shortcuts at all, but there's at least nine (under 'View' if you're wondering). 3. The window in which all this is performed is very tiny, and cannot be resized. It's a needless additional frustration, selecting one of thirty five dropdowns and then scrolling through the commands therein. The window could be adjustable, so the user can expand it to show every command at once. 4. The Undo command, under 'Edit', always shows the last command used, instead of simply 'Undo'. Until the user figures this out, it's misleading. For example, right now it says 'Undo document properties' but if I use the brush, next time I view the settings it says 'Undo Paint Brush Tool'. There's no need for this to change, is there? I've mocked it up: a larger window (the blue line shows the tiny original size) and a popup to resolve conflicts. 1 Kaze reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unprofessional Habits that Could Cost You a Job
Annoying your coworkers, while never a good idea, is one thing. But annoying your boss with your unprofessional habits could cost you your job. Its leads you finding a new job. To help you avoid letting bad habits shine through at the worst moments, we asked experts to highlight some of the least professional behavior you could demonstrate that will almost certainly cost you a job.
Your bad workplace habits could get you fired or cost you a promotion.
Interview Skills
Here are the things you could be doing all wrong that may make your boss think you're not right for the job:
Being sloppy
Your resume is your first contact with HR or recruiters. And typos, grammar mistakes, and formatting issues will land it in the "no pile within a few seconds.
"If your resume is sloppy, they'll assume you are, too."
Showing up late to work
"The professional thing to do is to arrive on time, ready to do what is expected. It's not like they just sprung this job on you."
Not doing your homework
Employers take note of candidates that are educated on the responsibilities of the job opening in question and on the company itself. This demonstrates that you made the decision to apply for the job after considering the facts, rather than out of desperation.
Trying too hard to garner attention
If you want your resume to stand out, for instance, let it be because of its content and format. Using colored paper, a multitude of fonts, or even including confetti with your resume will attract attention, but not the right kind.
Smoking and drinking
Never smoke anything before a job interview, Your interviewer will smell it on you. Drinking before the interview is also a bad idea. While alcohol can help calm nerves, it does so by dulling the senses, Oliver says, and you run the risk of not sounding intelligent.
Practicing poor hygiene
Water shortage or not, if there's one occasion you really want to shower before, it's a job interview. Lack of effort in your appearance can be construed as potentially lacking effort in your work and work area.
Being late
Frequent tardiness is a common bad habit, but do whatever you can to avoid showing up late to the interview. It will tell the hiring manager that you are irresponsible, aren't taking this process seriously, and don't respect their time. And this is not the first impression you want to make.
Texting while waiting
It's a good idea to arrive a little early to your interview, but be careful not to let boredom get the best of you.
Texting while you wait will make you look as if you would rather be elsewhere.
Most waiting areas have magazines, Randall notes, and if you see a company brochure, even better. Reading that will reflect your interest in the company.
Grooming in public
Grooming in public a good idea to pack a small grooming kit for a quick touch-up before an interview. But rather than apply lipstick or brush your hair in the reception area, you should arrive a few minutes before the interview starts, duck into the restroom, and complete your final grooming before the interview.
Bringing too much stuff
Your portfolio and copies of your resume are all you need to bring to your interview — everything else is superfluous. Randall suggests leaving your latte or water bottle in the car and putting away your cellphone so you're free to shake hands.
Dressing too casually
Dressing too formally for an interview can tell an employer that you didn't research the company culture and you're not a fit.
Speaking without thinking
This is a terrible habit — and it can be especially detrimental during a job search. Saying the wrong thing to the receptionist, for instance, can crush your chances of landing a job.
Being too informal
While I'm not promoting a formal, 'How do you do?'-style greeting, you might consider stepping it up a bit when you're introducing yourself to the person who will be determining whether you get the job or not.
Projecting a bad attitude
If you doubt your abilities or see only the worst possible outcome, your interviewer might pick up on that negative energy. Similarly, it's important not to badmouth a former boss, coworker, or employee during any stage of the interview process. Even if your former boss or organization is known for its problems, a job interview is no time to express your anger. Another bad attitude, arrogance, is often confused with confidence. Walk into the interview with a mix of confidence and humility, smile, and show some enthusiasm.
Naturally, the purpose of an interview is to impress the company with your talent and skills. But be aware of oversharing; they may learn more about you than they need to.
To avoid oversharing, she suggests following a few simple rules: Keep it relevant. Leave your childhood out of it. Don't insist on special favors or accommodations. And don't use the term "deal breaker." Instead, listen and give the interviewer an opportunity to ask questions.
It's rude to interrupt. When you do, it shows others that you don't have any respect, judgment, or patience.
You may be really excited to be interviewing with your top choice for employer, but blurting out foul language is a surefire way to cut the interview short. Swearing demonstrates to others that you aren't able to calmly and thoughtfully deal with a situation.
Lying or exaggerating during the hiring process can destroy your chances of ever being hired with that employer.
Poor body language
What you say in an interview is as important as how you say it, and bad body language takes away from your words. some of the biggest body-language mistakes job seekers make include failing to make eye contact, failing to smile, and bad posture.
Nervous habits like jingling your keys, shaking your leg, and scratching your head can also be construed as boredom. Interviews are highly stressful, even for those doing the interviewing. Through your body language, try to convey how delighted you are to be given the opportunity to compete for the amazing job.
Not being gracious
A few things happen when you don't send a thank-you email. The hiring manager assumes you don't want the job. They think you're disorganized and forgot about following up. And there is a much higher chance they'll forget about you.
