Career Advice
Too many people approach their job searches from the perspective of their own needs. They need a job, they need to make more money, they need flexible working hours and benefits. This is not the way to get a job. In fact, this "me-too" method of job seeking is unlikely to get you anywhere.
In this article Harrison discusses the importance of using association websites in your job search. One of the best places to track down jobs which (1) few people know about and (2) you stand good odds of getting an interview if you apply, is association websites. Associations are not experts in advertising themselves, and so the jobs on their websites are far less likely to be found by people looking for jobs online. The people you are competing with in the job market generally are not researching association websites for job opportunities and leads. Employers typically like posting jobs on association sites because applicants from association sites tend to be serious about their profession. If you are in the job market, using association sites for research is highly recommended.
Your résumé is an extremely important document. There are entire books written about how to craft them. I have written at least one myself. There are scores of résumé consultants, companies, and others that will work on your résumé for a fee. Hiring one of these services can be useful and can improve your résumé. Nevertheless, most résumés can improve dramatically by following the below advice.

The Dangers of Getting Jobs Through FriendsBy Harrison Barnes on Nov 23,2018
recent posts
Avoid people with a negative worldview, and who are unenthusiastic about their jobs. Their negative energy will rub off on you if you allow it, and you will find yourself experiencing the same negative results and unhappiness as them. Seek out people who are succeeding and doing great things in their careers, and who love what they do. Learn to view your job and surroundings from the light rather than the dark side.
In this article Harrison discusses the reasons why the best executives are so highly paid. According to him the main reason for this is that exceptional executives are rare. A top executive has to make numerous decisions and calculations whilst taking every factor into account each day. There are very few people who have the capacity to organize people, increase productivity and profitability, all while facing criticism and driving a company forward. The survival and prosperity of a company depends on having people who can give good orders – and have them carried out by others. Those who can lead groups typically are the highest paid people inside corporations and groups. The highest paid executives are able to implement and get things done; the lowest paid typically are not able to do this.
Your reactions to the world around you determine your state of mind and your progress in life. While most people tend to blame others for what is happening to them, you must learn to react in a positive way. You must understand that you usually cannot change the people and things around you, but you can control your reactions to these things; when you choose not to react negatively, you open the door to growth and fulfillment.
The secret to a happy career and life is realizing that we too need to love ourselves unconditionally. There is no other choice.
Here are 21 pieces of career advice no one ever gives you from well-known career advice expert and legal recruiter Harrison Barnes.
In this article Harrison discusses the importance of keeping one's job secured, and how external factors affect job security. It is crucial for job seekers to choose the right kind of job, the right kind of organization, and to have the perfect pay-package for enjoying job security to the fullest. Professionals in high positions in an organization are more prone to getting chucked off rather than those in lesser positions. The complexity of an organization also plays a crucial role in hampering or promoting a sense of job security among different workers in an organization. Competitiveness in an industry is also a harbinger of increasing insecurity in jobs, as there is constant push-and-pull with regards to resources.
Your happiness and quality of life depend largely on the meanings that your ascribe to the things around you, so you must communicate with yourself in a way that makes you feel positive, not negative. You must interpret your life's events in a way that makes you feel good about yourself rather than otherwise.
Concentrate on the process, not the results, in order to succeed in your career. Focus on the entire process of what you are doing, refine each step of that process, and make sure to constantly improve each step. Pay attention to the small, seemingly insignificant details, because they will add up to make a huge difference.
It is important to have high standards. For the most part, life will pay any price you ask of it. The people who achieve the most in the world have incredibly high standards. It is like this with businesses as well. A great piece of machinery, or a great service, is like this because of the standards that are followed.
There are two kinds of people; value creators and value extractors. Your career success will largely depend on your skill at either of these two things. Value extractors prefer an environment where value is already being created, while value creators look for areas of maximum opportunity. While value extractors seek stable careers, value creators seek to build up organizations rather than work within them. You need to decide if you are a value creator or extractor, commit to one or the other, and never look back.
Be the person you want to be; if you see yourself naturally going in a certain direction, then you must allow yourself to go that way. Be grateful for every little thing in your life, and you will position yourself to receive more good things. You must hold the correct mindset to achieve a successful life and career; "get your mind right", look at the world differently, and get away from your established ways of doing things.
Your perceptions of the world determine your reactions, and your reactions in turn determine your destiny. External factors do not dictate your life and destiny so much as your response to them, which is usually dictates by your emotional state. You must challenge yourself to make the best use of disorder in your life, and use it as a basis to develop a superior kind of order.
The most successful people are often obsessed with and are incredibly knowledgeable about the minutiae of their work. You must concentrate and develop an understanding of the details that others "gloss over" for true happiness and success in your job. When looking for a job, you will find greater success by looking for openings in places that others overlook. Focusing on the small details will, in aggregate, bring you much greater success than focusing on the bigger picture, so start by tending to one detail at a time.
Determining whether you are most interested in information, people, places, or things can help you better understand your career and life priorities. Everyone's motivation is different, and their motivation places them in one of these categories. These are deep-seated personality types, among which there is no intermingling, and each has its positive and negative points. You must find a work environment in which your natural inclinations and interests are nourished.
In order to reach your full potential, you must avoid depression, obesity and unhealthy foods, boredom, and uninteresting people. Your daily activities should seek to improve in each of these categories; as you do, you will find yourself better equipped to face life's challenges. Maintain various interests in addition to your work, and try to connect with interesting people to establish a healthy self-esteem.
Imagine you are a doctor working in a small clinic in the suburbs of Chicago. You are surrounded by uninspired doctors who are happy going back and forth to work each day in exchange for a salary. You, in contrast, have no interest in money and are concerned with curing a fatal heart disease. In fact, you have been working on curing this disease for the past 15 years.
There is vast potential beneath the surface of each individual person, and it is the same with the job market. Many people fail in there job search because they only pursue one tactic, find nothing, and conclude that there are no jobs available. When looking for a job, you need to go deep beneath the surface, and exhaust every job board, employer website, and other possible avenue in order to get ahead.
It is important to establish rules for yourself that empower rather than frustrate you; creating rules about your goals prevents you from finding fulfillment in your current situation. Rules create the impression that your life is imperfect, and you will never find happiness in your life and career. Instead, make sure you have rules that motivate you to move forward rather than hold you back.
Ranking people, assets, opportunities, etc. is one of the most powerful practices that you can implement. Ranking people against one another motivates them to grow, improve, and get progressively at what they do. Ranking naturally motivates people to improve, and companies who fail to do so often find themselves mired in mediocrity. Many people, however, mistakenly avoid rankings and the implied judgment of their abilities. You must use rankings as a means of escaping your protective shell and seeing the truth about yourself and your situation.
In this article Harrison discusses why emotional connections are so important in the workplace. In virtually every company, there are people who are not needed at all but are kept in the jobs due to some emotional connection. In every industry when layoffs occur, generally the first to go are those who do not have an emotional connection to the organization. According to Harrison there is a huge value attached to having emotional connections in your job. The holiday party, invitations to spend time with your boss outside of work, and other similar occasions are extremely important because they are a chance to form an emotional connection with the people you are working with. The emotional connection will take you farther and will last longer than any other sort of connection.
Salesmanship is one of the most important skills you can have in your job hunt. You can use personality as a means of standing out and selling yourself, making sure that it comes through in everything you are doing. By injecting personality into your job search, you will soon notice changes in your life and career. People with personality succeed in sales because they draw attention; employers want to hire people with personalities, and a good personality can be your best job hunting tool.
To reach the goals to which you aspire, you must compare yourself with people superior to you for motivation. Most people prefer to look at life the way they wish it to be, rather than as it truly is. Move out of your comfort zones and face reality. Don't seek out or compare yourself with the average people around you, as doing so will only mire you in mediocrity rather than push you forward.
Rather than committing to a career, many people switch jobs and take positions that require completely different skill sets; consequently, they never truly master their primary skills. While there is nothing wrong with changing careers, you must find something and devote yourself to it; many people have succeeded in relatively simple jobs, because they have committed to and mastered their craft. Develop a specialized interest, nurture it, and continually improve at it, and you will find the universe rewarding you.
Being present is crucial to your career's success and longevity. The more that you are present in your career, the more valuable you will be to your employer, and thus the more likely you will be to keep your job. Employers want commitment and presence in their employees, and those possessing such attributes will always prevail over those who do not.
Things will not always go the way that you want them to go, so you must not be discouraged by adversity in your job hunt. When you persist and consistently put forth your best effort, things are much more likely to go in your favor. Also, you must resist others' efforts to undermine your efforts and potential; focus instead on doing everything in your power to fight on and complete the task at hand.
Be supportive of those around you; the more you do this, the more successful you will be in your work and life. In terms of your career, you need to constantly add value and focus on adding more to your organization than you take. Use your learning to constantly seek new forms of revenue generation and support your company's growth.
Many people have intuitions about areas in which they would like to improve or things that they would like to avoid. Your intuition is usually correct, and trusting it can help you avoid bad things that might befall others who ignore their intuition. People are all aware, on some level, of the things holding them back, but few people are willing to acknowledge and address these things. Knowledge of your weaknesses and what you should do about them comes from your intuition.
Ignoring obstacles and setbacks will take you extremely far in life. The quality of your life will depend on how you deal with life's inevitable setbacks and the intimidation of others. Develop an unconquerable spirit that disregards life's setbacks, and you will experience massive success. Get up on time, and keep persisting when other people quit in order to achieve your goals
When you are a commodity, you can be replaced on a whim and have no value beyond anyone else in the market. Do something that differentiates you from others. When you are unique, you are no longer someone whom employers can easily find on the open market and your value will increase. Establish yourself as irreplaceable due to your unique skills. Understand your employers' needs and desired direction in order to create value for them.
Karma, or the universal idea that you reap what you so, governs your career and your life; the karma that you create in the world determine most of the events in your life. Understanding and accepting this universal law empowers you to take control of your life, because you directly control what happens to you. The amount and type of energy that you put into your life will always return to you in kind.

Tag: 'room service'
July 29, 2009 at 9:36 am
When I saw the cannoli on the discarded room service tray, I knew it would be mine. Oh yes, it would be mine.
The cannoli had no bite marks in its shell, and other than a bit of tomato sauce smeared onto the side, it was in perfect condition. It seemed wrong to let such a fine cannoli go to waste, so I decided to rescue it from its tray outside the hotel room next to mine and give it a home in my stomach. The only obstacle between me and the cannoli was the Shutter Sisters suite, directly across the hall from my room, open all day during the conference I was attending. People came and went from the suite regularly, grabbing free candies and viewing demos of photo editing software. I would have to be discreet, or else I would be caught by any one of a dozen women who knew how to use their digital cameras.
I got my room key out, arranged all my bags on my shoulders carefully, and inserted the key […]

The user was getting the normal error message.
Cannot sign in to Lync. You may have entered your sign-in address, user name, or password incorrectly. If your sign-in information is correct and the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
Since the error message pointed to login credentials, I verified the following.
- I reset the user password to be sure.
- Account was not locked out.
- I could sign in from the user machine, which confirms that it is not a machine issue.
The problem was that a required attribute was not set for the user. When Lync 2010 is deployed in a resource forest along with Exchange, the MSRTCSIP-OriginatorSID attribute should match the msExchMasterAccountSid. In this user's case, the attribute was not set (blank).
Once I set the attribute using ADSIEdit, the user was able to sign in straightaway.

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) - October 9, 2012 --A former college student in Rhode Island has been ordered to serve two months of home confinement for killing a rabbit with a hockey stick and using its body as a puck.
The Providence Journal reports that former Salve Regina University student Nicholas Coyle reached a plea agreement with prosecutors that spared him jail time. The sentence was imposed Tuesday by a Superior Court magistrate judge in Newport.
Coyle must also undergo psychological counseling.
The 20-year-old from Merrick, N.Y., could have faced up to two years in prison if convicted on the original felony charge of malicious injury to an animal. He had pleaded not guilty.
The charge was downgraded to animal cruelty, a misdemeanor.
WPRO-AM reports that Coyle also must perform 100 hours of community service.

Today a few of us gave a little talk about our time in India, and of course I was spreading the Good News of veganism through cookies: I made a batch of the "you got peanut butter in my chocolate" cookies from "Eat Drink and Be Vegan." Yet another big success! Musty took one bite and declared "These are the best cookies you have ever made. EVER!" Wow! I saved a few for dessert with my grandpa, and the others were all gobbled up! Never to be seen again.
For the non-chocolate, non-nutty types I also made a batch of the "Lemon Poppyseed Sparkle Cookies" from ED&BV. Yum! I really loved these. Lemon poppyseed is always a great combo, and these are great.
Tonight I made dinner for my grandpa... and it turned out that my aunt Sara was there too. We watched the Oscars together, which was fun even though hardly any of us had seen any of the movies. Hee hee. Still fun to see all the fancy people and the moving speeches. I'm a real sap for all things poignant and heartfelt. I made the Ceaser Salad from 'Nomicon. Yum! We all loved it. It was fun making the croutons and the yummy fancy dressing. It sure does make a lot of dressing, so I left the extra dressing for my aunt to make more salads for my Grandpa while I'm in China.
I also made us some calzones and brocolli. The calzones were *delicious*!! They had tomato sauce, VWAV "Green Garden Puree", sauteed mushrooms, and sauteed Sundried Tomato Tofurky Sausages. Dang! Some real yumminess. The dough was totally fantastic, it was the herbed, sourdough pizza dough I got at the farmers market last week. YUM. I'll definitely buy it again. By the way, I love that Green Garden Puree stuff. The only little changes I've made to the recipe are: saute the garlic, add 1 tsp salt, add 1 small can sliced black olives. It's great stuff for pizza, calzones, lasagna, manicotti, etc. If you haven't made it yet, I really recommend this recipe.
Speaking of VWAV, the other day I made the "Fronch Toast" for breakfast & it was so fantastic! I love this recipe so much. For this recipe (and the crepes) I am forever indebted to Isa. When I became vegan, I never thought I'd enjoy french toast again... but instead we had a wonderful & delicious little breakfast party together! See that little half-banana? That's my nod to healthy eating.
To go with the soup, I made the Torta de Ceci. I've blogged about this before, it's a lovely dish, and you should make it. Here' s the recipe on one of my old posts.
I'll be gone for 10 days while I'm off in China. Thanks to you all SO MUCH for all the good freezable food ideas. I feel so grateful for this great community. I'm gonna make up a big lasagna tomorrow! That seemed to be the #1 suggestion. Thanks friends!

Post subject: opinions on gourmet standard cookware
I am about to start investing in high-quality cookware. I am wondering if anyone has any opinions on the
Gourmet Standard
Tri-Ply "professional" cookware.
From what I understand it is completely clad cookware, made in China, and sold for about half of what you would pay for All-Clad.
I'd like to hear from anybody who has an opinion on this cookware, or any other suggestions for other brands that are "all-clad" without the "All-Clad" pricetag.

We have the stainless Chicken Fryer (no teflon) and are quite pleased with it. It's quite comparable to three different All Clad pieces we also have. The folks at Cook's Illustrated also use and like some of the Gourmet Standard products. Their online site (cooksillustrated.com) is subscription, but I think you can use a free trial period.
G S also makes some nice bakeware; we have the stainless 9 x 13 and loaf pan with meatloaf insert.
I suggest trying one small example first and see what you think. The open stock source I used is:

Post subject: Gourmet Standard is good
It's good stuff. I bought a Gourmet Standard tri-ply 5.5 Qt dutch oven a few years ago, and was happy with it. At the time, their tri-ply line wasn't induction-compatible, but now their stuff is.
I just replaced my cooktop this week with an induction unit, and so I'm replacing most of my cookware with Gourmet Standard. My new dutch oven arrived today, along with a 12" saute pan. I've also ordered an 8" frying pan and a 3 qt sauce pan, but they're still on the way.
Unfortunately, Gourmet Standard doesn't make a tri-ply saucier, as far as I can tell, so I had to replace my lovely Kitchen Aid 2.5 qt saucier with an All-Clad model; I expect I'll miss the nice rolled edge.
If you have specific questions about any of the pieces I've listed above, I'd be happy to answer them, but I really doubt you'll be dissapointed.

Oh, I forgot to mention: I really prefer the handles on the Gourmet Standard pans to the handles on the All-Clad pans. The All-Clad handles have a weird, concave shape with sharp edges whereas the Gourmet Standard and nice, rounded squares.

I've never heard of Gourmet Standard until this post, but after a quick review of their website, I wouldn't buy from them.
The outer layer is 18/0 SS, so I can't imagine that your cookware will retain the SS look for long. It won't really affect the actual cooking surface, but it's not something I'd buy long term. The cooking surface is only 18/8- probably good enough, but even good flatware is 18/10 or 18/12.
For those not familiar with the nomenclature, 18 refers to 18% chromium content, and 0/8/10/12 refer to the nickel content. It's the nickel that makes SS stay pretty, while the chromium gives it the initial color.

In my experience, GS cookware looks fine even after years of use.
As I posted earlier, I recently bought a bunch of GS stuff based on my experience with a dutch oven that I bought a couple of years back. I used that dutch oven roughly once per week for years and when I gave it away it still looked as good as the All-Clad fry pan I bought at the same time. (The GS cookware wasn't induction compatible when I bought the dutch oven.)
Even if I could tell a difference, I can't imagine myself spending twice the money for functionally equivalent cookware...

Gourmet. The simple use of that word sends me in to a lather. As with Organic, it once meant something. Quality, integrity and the word amoungst the crowds that, "it was good". You knew the people, the place and the standard.
If you want to kill a product, use the term Gourmet or Organic.
Let's just say I give you a handtruck of fresh vegetables and herbs, cream, and cheese from your local perveyor, meat products from the butcher. Let's just say. And all you have are pans from someone's camping kit. Are you screwed? Do you tell the person that I simply cannot prepare you a wonderful meal because you do not have All-clad?
Buy some pans, buy some pots. Play. Find what you enjoy and have some fun. Who the hell cares?
If you have a camera use it. Don't spew on forums on how it falls short. If you have a pan, fry it. Don't piss and moan about it's performance. I can outcook you with a hole in the ground and out photography you with a shoe-box with a sheet of 4x5 film.
The point is, get out there and enjoy yourself. Light that fire, burn that pan, try that ingredient and don't lose sleep over which dumbass non-stick saute pan you use.

Post subject: Le Creuset stainless
Maybe you're already aware of it, but I just discovered recently that Le Creuset now sells a stainless line.
I haven't cooked with them, but I saw some in person in the store and I was impressed: Fully clad, rolled lips, nice handles, and interior measurement markings.
Prices seem to be in the upper tier, but not quite as high as All-Clad.

I've been playing around with a couple of the Le Creuset saucepans for a couple months now and I have to say I like them. They perform really well and clean up as easily as my All-Clad. Some people like the handles of the Le Creuset which are beefier than the All-Clad - I haven't made up my mind yet. They do get used quite a bit.
I thought the internal volume markers would be used more though. It seemed like such a good idea, but I never use them.

18/0 is common for the outer coat now. I think it is required for use on induction stove tops.
The thing that makes me wary of Gourmet Standard is the thickness. Their saute pan is only 2.5mm. I've heard that 3 mm is the minimum, and that top of the line cookware has 5mm.
Did the Cooks Illustrated article compare saute pans at all?

Induction heating does require a ferritic or martensitic stainless layer. One common characteristic of these is that very little nickel is present... as somebody already mentioned.

Newton Kansan
HUTCHINSON — To get to the next level, the Newton High School football team is going to have to make a lot more stops on defense.
That was the lesson the Railers learned from Hutchinson in a 56-32 loss Friday in Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League Division I play at Gowans Stadium in Hutchinson. The only stops the Railers made were on Hutchinson turnovers.
"That's something we've got to get better at," Newton coach Nate Wollenberg said. "... They're a great team. We knew they were a great team. I give them a lot of credit. I'm proud of our kids. They played hard. We didn't have two offensive linemen who started for us. We lost our safety in practice on Wednesday (Sam Pierce). Seth Hill went down for us in the first quarter. Those are four key guys for us. Then you have to start making adjustments."
Newton had several chances on offense to stay close, or even tie the game.
"It was within reach for a while there," Wollenberg said. "Our kids kept playing. They are one of the top-notch program in the state. We're getting better. We will continue to grow."
Game stats were not reported at deadline. Hutchinson quarterback Turner Wintz rushed for six touchdowns and passed for another.
For Newton, Bradley Million rushed for two touchdowns and caught a touchdown pass. Braedon Morrison passed for two touchdowns. Jack Kingsley led the Railer offense in the second half.
Hutchinson opened the game with two long touchdown drives on its first two possessions. Newton went three-and-out on its first two possessions. The Railers got back in the game when a Hutchinson fumble was recovered by Ty Voth. Two plays later, Braedon Morrison hit Bradley Million for a 24-yard touchdown pass.
Hutchinson made another long touchdown drive that the Railers answered in one play, an 80-yard pass from Morrison to Luke Porter. Hutchinson finally threw a couple passes late in the second quarter, hitting for long yardage and scoring on a 16-yard pass from Wintz to Emilio Tafolla.
A Railer fumble late in the first half, set up a 37-yard run for Wintz. Newton had a long drive stall because of penalties. Kingsley intercepted a Wintz pass at the Hutchinson 44. Newton drove the ball to the one as time expired, missing a chance for a touchdown when the intended receiver fell down on the final play of the half.
Newton made up for it to start the second half, as Matt Willis ran back the kickoff 94 yards for the touchdown. Newton's two-point conversion run fell just short. Newton got the ball back on a fumble, but gave it back on downs four plays later. On the following play, Wintz ran the ball in 70 yards for the score.
Newton replied with a four-play, 67-yard drive that ended on a four-yard Million run. A Hutchinson fumble set up a 46-yard Million run. Newton missed the two-point conversion to keep Hutchinson up by 10. A 45-yard kickoff return for Hutchinson set up a 34-yard scoring run for Wintz.
Newton got to the Hutchinson 15, where a 33-yard Kendall Gaeddert field goal attempt missed just wide. Hutchinson went 80 yards the other way, scoring on a Wintz two-yard run. On third and 21 in the series after a 15-yard Hutchinson penalty, Wintz ran the ball 22 yards for the first down.
Newton got to the Hutchinson 25 with 12 seconds to play, but a sack on fourth down ended the drive.
Newton falls to 2-2 overall and in league play. The Railers host Goddard Eisenhower at 7 p.m. Friday for homecoming. Eisenhower fell to 1-3 after a 21-13 loss to Arkansas City.
"They continue to get better," Wollenberg said. "They are doing a great job. Our kids know we're building. We have two wins, and it's exciting, but our coaches and players know we can do better. Number one right now, we need to get healthy. The execution and timing is not where it could be."

Hearts ... to the Bluffton High athletics department and its winning ways.
The success of the programs is a tribute to the athletes, coaches, fans, parents and all who help make the experience a healthy one and also a productive one.
The latest story of success is about the girls tennis team. It beat Ashley Ridge on Thursday to clinch the No. 2 seed in SCHSL Region 8-AAAA for the state tournament.
Bluffton will play in a playoff match Tuesday for the first time in school history. This feat is no small one and in a new region at that makes it even more special. Hats off to coach Bob Brown and his team.
Catie Meighan won No. 1 singles; Taylor Soop at No. 2; Justine Wilson won at No. 3; Cooper Baxter lost at No. 4; and Angie Castrillon won at No. 5. Lauren Bierschenk and Anna Rathke won at No. 2 doubles.
This is Bluffton's ninth consecutive playoff appearance and fifth consecutive winning season.
Darts ... to the statistics from September that nationally tell a story that reflects home resales dropped in September as the market fell.
The latest numbers serve as a reminder that the housing sector is far from recovery despite recent signs of improvement. The National Association of Realtors reported Friday that existing home sales dropped 1.7 percent last month to an seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.75 million units.
Nationwide, the median price for a home resale was $183,900 in September, up 11.3 percent from the year before as fewer people sold homes under distressed conditions. Distressed sales include foreclosures.
The inventory of homes - those for sale on the market - fell 3.3 percent during the month to 2.32 million.
Locally, realtors report an uptick and say the bucking the national trend. That's news we like to hear and to share.
Hearts ... to the pain at the pump that is starting to subside - again.
We're again happy to report good local news in terms of how much it costs to fill up the old gas tank. The latest check at a Bluffton station showed $3.30 for a gallon of regular unleaded. Just think what the price could fall to after the election.
Let's enjoy the cheapest gasoline prices in the nation while we can. It certainly makes filling up the tank less of a chore.
It's fall and there are a lot of people traveling back to the Lowcountry after an extended stay up in the Northeast. And as the holiday season approaches, we'll see more and more people hitting the road for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Darts ... to the unfortunate traffic incident more than a week ago that claimed the life of a Bluffton teenager.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the family, classmates and the other two young people in the car at the time of the wreck.
Such a sad story to report when a senseless incident takes someone at such a young age.
May it also be a lesson to us all to cherish life and to let people know how we feel about them often.
Life is precious and should not be taken for granted.
Hearts ... to the simple fact that the debates, that have in this election season have been become the butt of so many jokes, are over after Monday night.
We also give another set of hearts to all the moderators as they took a beating from the press, the candidates, the crowd and from nearly everyone who watched or didn't watch.
It's a tough job that someone had to do. We can honestly say we are glad we are not in their shoes.

I like this book, especially the way it is written. The stories are short and sweet. My favorite part was the story of the girl who rolled down the aisle during a school awards ceremony. That story could be about me. Since I've read both books in the series, I can say this one is much funnier.
I would recommend this book to anyone. If you're having a bad day, this book could really make you laugh.

We presented our work at the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine's Annual Conference on Sunday and were humbled and overjoyed at the enthusiastic response. Over 325 physicians, MDs, PhDs, and IBCLC—the true breastfeeding rock stars who are cheering on moms and babies—heard and embraced our message, and are ready to roll with Best for Babes!
Since our founding two years ago, the Best for Babes Foundation is the first independent, trusted non-profit to re-brand the breastfeeding movement, create a positive, inspiring and empowering message, change the conversation and develop innovative social marketing tools that are igniting change and bringing together respected celebrities, the best corporations, leading foundations, fashion, the media, the medical community, and advertising around a common cause. We've acted as a powerful catalyst in the breastfeeding movement and industry, and are seeing the ripple effect and echoes of our vision and clarion call everywhere, and we are very happy about that! We have volunteered tirelessly through great personal adversity (including Danielle's breast cancer) and the incredible support and love we have gotten from you all, our friends and fans on Facebook and on Twitter has made all the personal sacrifices worth it!
Specifically, we shared with the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine:
- It is time to change the conversation about breastfeeding and shift the pressure off moms and on to the barriers–what we call the "booby traps"–that are keeping moms from achieving their personal breastfeeding goals. We charged the crowd to join us in "cheering on, coaching, and celebrating" ALL moms, helping them to make an informed feeding decision without pressure, judgment or guilt. (See our CREDO!) Why? Because moms who want to breastfeed are having a negative breastfeeding experience, they and their babies are suffering, and it is creating a backlash against breastfeeding. When we remove the "booby traps", we allow moms to have a positive breastfeeding experience and share it with their families, friends, and peers, allowing breastfeeding rates to rise naturally. Most moms want to breastfeed, and deserve to succeed!
- It is time to make breastfeeding the "mother of all causes" and to elevate it on par with Susan G. Komen and other successful campaigns that have won the following of millions. Breastfeeding has a positive impact on almost every single cause we care about—-whether it's breast cancer, infant mortality, premature birth, life-threatening allergies, heart disease, education or the environment, to name just a few, and it deserves the same attention and resources that all these causes enjoy.
- Marketing, the Media and Creating Consumer Demand: We need the true Rock Stars of Breastfeeding–the doctors, board-certified lactation counselors and health providers–to help us share the stories of moms who are struggling, get evidence-based, accurate, positive and inspiring messages into the media, and to put positive social marketing pressure on the barriers by recognizing and rewarding those who are truly champions for moms. For example, the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is one of the most powerful tools to put pressure on all the hospitals—70%, according to the Centers for Disease Control—that continue to undermine moms who WANT TO BREASTFEED!!! Yet, so few mothers have even heard of the Baby-Friendly Hospital designation, and don't know to demand that their hospital meet the baby-friendly (and mom-friendly) criteria!! We need your help to market what works and cheer moms on.
- This cause needs more collaboration, not less. There is much work to be done, and the barriers to breastfeeding are formidable and are costing our society billions and billions of dollars. Mothers and babies can not afford splintered efforts; they need synergy and a united front among the leadership. This cause is woefully underfunded and our dollars and our resources of time and energy need to be spent where they truly matter most and can have the biggest impact. We need to bring everyone together under an independent, trusted umbrella whose sole purpose is to help mothers and babies, without any other agenda.
We will be sharing more of what came out of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine's Conference and what this incredible organization is doing to help moms. We would also be happy to share our presentation with those that want to be part of THE SOLUTION! We wanted to leave you with two wonderful comments:
I am a physician and Fellow of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine who just attended and tremendously enjoyed your presentation about "Best for Babes." My experience in trying to help mothers and their children to breastfeed has included just about every situation your excellent website identifies as "booby-traps." I love that concept and I applaud your foundation's approach towards moving mothers away from blaming themselves, breastfeeding advocates and other mothers for their breastfeeding problems, towards identifying the real barriers that cause so many mothers to wean long before their personal breastfeeding goals are met.
The booby traps to successful breastfeeding abound and one of the biggest is the medical system. How is it that I trained to become a pediatrician for 8 years and graduated with ZERO training about breastfeeding? Then I set out to work in a highly respected hospital that was accepting their formula for free. 92% of maternity facilities in the US are doing that TODAY. How about that for a dirty little secret? Arent we suppose to market health, and not be a middle man for a pharmaceutical industry? Then we had hospital policies that separated the brand new perfectly healthy baby from the perfectly healthy mom. Why? So we could get our paper work done. Unless your nipples and breasts are 80 yards long and can go under locked doors and up and over warmers, going to that nursery is a monstrous obstacle to breastfeeding. Then the nurse helping you out, well she probably had zero minutes of training on breastfeeding as well. You can't keep it going if you don't get it started. The problem is not you new moms, WE are the problem. Do the best you can. You are doing a great job!! MD from Boston
Thank you again, Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, for inviting us to speak. We were invigorated by meeting many of our heroes, and by the amazing work you are doing to help mothers and babies. We are proud and honored to partner with you on upcoming initiatives . . . stay tuned!

HENDERSON arrival on the Gold Fields. 1855-1861
I have a John HENDERSON born in Dumbarton, Scotland in 1825. Married Mary Dogherty, born in Carvan near Dublin, Ireland. A number of children born in Scotland including Hugh, James, John, and then Neil in 1855, then William born in Nuggong Reef, Victorian Gold Fields on 6 October 1861. John died also in 1861 on 13 January.
So, they must have travelled to Australia within the years of 1855 and 1861.

WHITE Herbert Built own house in Rosebud
Built Own House
Five years ago Mr. Herbert White of Auburn-gve., Auburn, set to build a house. It is now finished. In these days, when houses are (or were until the war came so near our doors) run up in a matter of weeks. Five years seems a long time to take to build one, but the point is that Mr. White did it all by himself. The task is more creditable when it is considered that Mr. White is a boot operative by trade, and had had no previous experience of building. He dug sand from his land in Point Nepean-rd., Rosebud, where the house stands, and made cement blocks by hand - 5000 of them - one at a time. The house is built on modern lines and has four large windows in front. The kitchen has a range and a large porcelain combination sink, which were put in by Mr. White. There are, besides, a bathroom and washhouse.
Transcribed from a newspaper clipping kept in a family scrapbook. No date stated.
Family story was that Herb rode his push bike from Auburn to Rosebud every Friday and rode home again at the end of the weekend.

Hub City Co-op, an independent member-owned grocery market planned for the 83-year-old tire store at 176 N. Liberty St., across from the George Dean Johnson Jr. College of Business and Economics, announced it has secured a $571,800 loan.
South Carolina's first cooperative grocery store in downtown Spartanburg is almost in the bag.
Hub City Co-op, an independent member-owned grocery market planned for the 83-year-old tire store at 176 N. Liberty St., across from the George Dean Johnson Jr. College of Business and Economics, announced Wednesday it has secured a $571,800 loan from the Lowcountry Housing Trust.
The loan will enable the co-op's board to purchase the 8,000-square-foot facility from its owner Champion Investment Corp. But it is contingent on the co-op reaching its $3.58 million fundraising goal by July 12.
"Securing the loan from Lowcountry Housing Trust is a huge step toward accomplishing our fundraising goal," said Erin Ouzts, board chair of the Hub City Co-op. "With the support of the LHT, not only are we closer to reaching the funding goal, we also have the support of an outstanding community development organization that believes in the power of the cooperative business model to build stronger, more economically-sound communities."
Ouzts said that the co-op has raised more than $1.6 million in investments and will be seeking the additional $1.9 million through fundraising efforts over the next two months.
As of Wednesday the co-op had 980 owners who will each pay $150 for a three-year stake in the venture. That is just 20 shy of the group's original goal of 1,000 owners prior to completion. Ouzts said the number keeps growing and is expected to continue to grow when the market opens.
In April, Hub City Co-op officials launch a new owner investment campaign "Invest and Grow," allowing its owners to buy preferred shares and other loan offerings.
Current investments range from $1,000 to $100,000, and have come from owners in Spartanburg, Boiling Springs, Inman, Chesnee, Roebuck, Pauline, Campobello, and beyond, according to the co-op. Ouzts said the average investment is $4,800.
In total, Ouzts said the co-op has raised about $145,000 from ownerships, $344,500 from investments and over $1.13 million from various sources, including the Lowcountry Housing Trust, a $10,000 matching grant from the non-profit organization Food Co-op Initiative and a $10,500 gift from the Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
"We commissioned a market study that said Spartanburg is a perfect location for a co-op," she said. "With the support of the Spartanburg community and our dynamic, growing downtown area, we clearly have a solid foundation to establish South Carolina's first retail consumer grocery co-op. It will be a great store for the whole community to enjoy whether they are owners or not."
This is the last leg of the co-op's fundraising and planning journey. If the fundraising goal is met, construction will begin in mid-august and the store could be open by May 2014.
Non-owners can still shop at the store. Co-op officials have already begun their search for a store manager to lead a team of about 30 employees. Board member Alan Duesterhaus said there has been a groundswell of community support around the co-op with over 100 volunteers helping out.
City officials have expressed their excitement for the project in terms of what it will offer the community and the way it will help connect the St. John Street corridor with businesses on Main Street.
"We are excited about the Hub City Cooperative," said Spartanburg City Manager Ed Memmott, in a statement. "It will be a terrific new healthy amenity for downtown workers and residents and yet another unique and compelling reason for folks from throughout the region to regularly visit downtown Spartanburg. Perhaps as importantly, we admire the fact that this is a first-in-the-state volunteer-driven initiative that further illustrates the dynamic energy and creativity of the people of Spartanburg. We look forward to helping make it a reality."
Co-op leaders said they were excited by Wednesday's announcement and are confident that all of the capital will be raised by mid-July to satisfy the terms of the loans.
"I think for a lender to invest in a grocery co-op, which is a very different concept for them, says a lot about this project," said Hub City Co-op board member Fran Fried. "The fact that we made it through the due diligence process speaks highly about the preparation that went into this … It makes all of that preparation worth it.
Fried and Ouzts said the co-op heard about Lowcountry Housing Authority from the United States Department of Agriculture's rural development program and the Greenville-based Appalachian Development Corp.
Hub City Co-op is garnering interest from other parts of the state and the country, Ouzts said. The S.C. Coastal Conservation League has even expressed interest in locating food distribution facility in the area.
"As a CDFI, LHT seeks opportunities to invest in innovative projects that not only benefit underserved communities across South Carolina, but are likely to serve as models for community development throughout our state," said Michelle Mapp, executive director of the Lowcountry Housing Trust.
"That is why we are excited to partner with Hub City Co-op, the first of its kind healthy food retail co-op in South Carolina. By leveraging our capital with other stakeholders, this loan will provide community and economic opportunity for the Spartanburg area and access to healthy food for its residents."

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in the studio of Magyar Rádió where he gave an interview on the programme 180 minutes of the public service radio station Kossuth Rádió Photo by Szilárd Koszticsák/MTI
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán takes the view that Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic should be looked upon as an agent of the Socialist International whose duty it is to attack Hungary.
"The things that the Croatian Prime Minister says we do not regard as the opinion of the Croatian people", Mr Orbán said on Friday on the programme 180 minutes of the public service radio station Kossuth Rádió, indicating that Zoran Milanovic and his party form part of the Socialist International, and the parties that belong to this organisation see immigration as a good thing.
The Hungarian Prime Minister believes that the instincts of the Visegrád Countries, the V4, function well as far as immigration is concerned, "there is a problem with the countries which take a more ideological stance". As an example, he mentioned French and Italian politics, while a section of the German and Austrian political elite, too, clearly sees migration as a positive phenomenon, and therefore encourages it.
Regarding the Austrian position, the Prime Minister indicated that politics in Austria "is currently in a state of turmoil" due to the local elections; this is something we must acknowledge, and "we must seek to find ways to cooperate with the Austrians". He remarked, however: it is not right that while Hungary is attempting to protect the borders, "they are shooting us in the back with friendly fire".
Concerning the UN meeting held in New York this week with regard to the issue of migration, Mr Orbán said: his impressions were mixed. From among the leaders of Europe, the Maltese and the Hungarians proposed the introduction of global quotas wholeheartedly and courageously. In this context, he added that one of the problems is, in his view, that Europe is divided; there is no united response to immigration.
In answer to a question regarding the difference between the European and global quotas, he said: it is not fair that Europe should take on all the troubles of the world. "We are simply not able to do this" as this would crush the continent's form of living.
It is not fair, he stressed, that the United States does not take in migrants, or only takes in migrants in very small numbers, the rich Arabic countries "seem to hesitate", and Israel and Austria do not receive immigrants at all. Meanwhile, "everyone is turning their regard towards Europe" because someone sent economic migrants on this path.
The Prime Minister takes the view that people know very little in the world about the true nature of migration, for instance, the illegal business of human trafficking, or the fact that around 80 per cent of the migrants are young men who "resemble more an army than destitute asylum-seekers".
Mr Orbán further said that the Geneva Conventions make it clear: people who are in trouble are entitled to assistance, but "there is no á la carte refugee". In other words, a person who is in trouble cannot say that a certain safe country does not suit him and wants to go to another one. However, this principle is not being enforced, he continued, because some European leaders are happy to see their countries being flooded by tens of thousands of foreigners who are arriving in a completely uncontrolled manner.
As long as Europe fails to make clear that it cannot take everyone in and before entering the continent, everyone must undergo a procedure outside the territory of Europe, "they will keep coming", he said.
Mr Orbán repeated: the Hungarian Government firmly believes that demographic problems should not be solved by means of immigration. If other European countries attempt to solve their demographic problems "with men who resemble young warriors", they are free to do so, "but we cannot accept this approach being forced on Hungary", he said. He remarked that a section of the Hungarian left, too, looks upon immigrants as a great opportunity. In his view this is a fatal mistake.

In the world of ultra-low-energy homes, water heating is often the largest energy user. It's time to pay attention to this significant energy load.
Selecting a water heater involves decisions about the type of fuel used, how and where the water is heated (especially the issue of storage versus tankless water heaters), and whether water heating can be combined with space heating. Here's a review of the most efficient products on the market to suit your particular water-heating needs.
The vast majority of water heaters in North America are storage-type—an insulated tank with either an integrated gas burner, or one or two electric-resistance elements. The advantage of storage water heaters is that the water can be heated with a relatively small burner or heating element, while still providing ample hot water. Even when much of the hot water is used up, the tank remains stratified, with remaining hot water staying at the top where it is drawn off.
Recovery time depends on the capacity of the gas burner or electric elements. Hot water recovery is an important property of a storage water heater; it is generally presented as the "first-hour rating" in gallons. This is the amount of hot water that can be delivered by a water heater during one hour. With storage water heaters, this assumes the tank starts fully charged with hot water, so the first-hour rating is the volume of the tank, plus the volume of water that can be heated in an hour (assuming standard assumptions for temperature rise).
To calculate hot water demand for a family, you should figure out the peak usage period, then use rules for hot water use for those needs. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) assumes 10 gallons of hot water for a shower, 2 gallons for shaving, 4 gallons for hand dish-washing and food prep, 6 gallons for a dishwasher, and 7 gallons for a clothes washer. So for the morning period, one-hour water use might total three showers, one shave, and one hand dish-washing, for a total of 36 gallons. The first-hour rating would have to meet that.
Disadvantages of storage-type water heaters include the potential to run out of hot water and the standby heat loss from the large temperature difference between the outside and inside (often 60°F or more). Inexpensive storage water heaters may have just an inch of polyurethane insulation, providing as little as R-6. The best have R-12 to R-15 in foam insulation. With gas storage water heaters that have pilot lights, the pilot itself throws out a lot of heat (typically about 300 Btu/hour), which can contribute some heat to the tank, though most of the pilot light heat actually escapes up the central flue. Depending on water heater location in a building, the climate, and the time of year, standby losses may either reduce a building's heating load or increase its cooling load, though the impact of this is fairly modest.
There can also be losses from storage water heaters via the supply and discharge pipes. Storage water heaters should be installed with "heat traps" that prevent the thermosiphoning (natural circulation from hot water rising) that can occur if the water heater is located below a home's plumbing. Adequate pipe insulation should also be a part of water heater installation (see "Reduce Demand—Improve Efficiency" article in this issue).

Rodney Storms sat in the Comcast Center stands last month during the Maryland women's basketball program's elite camp and struck up a conversation with the mother of Lexie Brown. Three summers ago, Brown – now a freshman point guard for the Terps – committed to Brenda Frese's program when she was just a rising high school sophomore in Georgia.
The fortuitousness of the conversation wasn't lost on Storms, who had brought two rising sophomores on his Atlanta Cagers AAU team up to College Park for the camp. Days later, South Forsyth (Ga.) guard Sarah Myers and West Forsyth (Ga.) center Jenna Staiti decided to follow Brown's path from Georgia to Maryland by making their commitments two years before they will graduate high school.
"Why commit so early? That was something that we talked about for a long time – myself, their parents," Storms said. "We were able to talk to the Brown family, who committed early. It just really gave their daughter the ability to focus on becoming the best player that Maryland wanted."
In Myers and Staiti, the Terps' landed two prospects with similar backgrounds but vastly different games.
Myers, 5 feet 11, averaged 18.9 points as a freshman for South Forsyth. With a father who played Division II basketball and an early introduction to the sport – Storms has coached her in summer ball since she was 8 – Myers reportedly possesses great maturity toward the game.
"She has a jump shot that is one of the most beautiful jump shots I've seen," Storms said. "She has a high basketball IQ. She's 5-11, still growing, long arms, long feet. She'll be a sophomore starting in August. She can score from anywhere. She can defend, shoot jump shots, she can drive. She does everything."
The Atlanta Cagers practice three times a week during the summer. Myers also shoots with her dad another two or three days a week. And once a week, she works with a trainer who also trains "a guy that's trying to get back into the NBA, two college players, then another elite high school kid," Storms said.
"We were sitting [at Comcast Center], watching [them play] and just talking," Storms said. Lexie Brown's mother "said, 'God, she reminds me of how Lexie looked in ninth grade.' Lexie was a McDonald's All-American, a top-rated player. So that was a huge compliment. Sarah is going to be a phenomenal college player. She is truly, truly dedicated to the sport."
While Myers spent her free time on the basketball court in elementary and middle school, Staiti was in the pool. A nationally ranked swimmer, Staiti just started playing basketball with the Cagers after her eighth-grade year. The 6-foot-5 center has dominated other girls her age, but there's still plenty of development ahead.
"We would watch her play in seventh and eighth grade. She was 6-1 at the time, everyone else was 4-11, 5-1," Storms said. "She didn't learn the physicality of the game, the mental aspect of the game or develop a basketball IQ. She's come a long way. But her upside is through the roof. It's coming with competition.
"The person we compare her to is UConn's Stefanie Dolson – probably the top post player in the NCAA for women's basketball. She has that opportunity. She's 6-5 now, has a swimmer's body, looks like Michael Phelps, the girl version. Unbelievable. She's going to be really great."
Storms said that Myers – a 3.9 student – hopes to study journalism at Maryland. Staiti, meanwhile, looks forward to continuing her development with what Frese wants in a post player in mind. The coaching staff was a big factor for both players, Storms said.
"Being a top-five program, you have stability in the program," he said. "When you're at a mid-major school, you have coaches still looking to climb the ladder – two years here, three years there. It's a transitional type of situation. Stability is key in players' development and growth. … That stability is key. Where does Brenda go? She's already at the top of the mountain. There's great stability in that program."

The Iowa straw poll held every four years to help pick the Republican candidate for president has come under heavy fire from conservative critics who say it should be abolished. The latest assault on the poll comes from the conservative magazine National Review. NR says poll has to go.
The straw poll was created by local Republicans in 1979 as a means to help leading presidential candidates raise money and show off their ability to organize support. Past winners who later won the Republican presidential primary include Bob Dole and George W. Bush.
Yet the event has increasingly been used by fringe candidates to elevate their profile, a trend that has spurred more high-profile candidates to avoid the straw poll. Neither Mitt Romney in 2011 nor John McCain in 2007, the eventual party nominees, took part.
In the 2011 straw poll, Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann came in first place, followed by libertarian Republican Ron Paul. Neither candidate won a single state in the primaries and Bachmann dropped out of the race early.
The event also sank the candidacy of former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, the third-place finisher and probably the party's second most qualified candidate after Romney.
The straw poll is held about six months before the Iowa caucus, which is first vote in the presidential primary season. The poll is widely covered by the media, a dry run ahead of the presidential election.
Little about the event is democratic, however. Participants have to pay $30 to take part in the vote and Republican candidates often pay for the tickets of supporters. The poll also gives excessive weight to certain voting blocs such as social conservatives who are not reflective of the party at large, critics say.
"Ames does more damage than justice to the nominating process, and ensures that the country's first view of the Grand Old Party's latest presidential crop is through a distorted lens," The National Review wrote in its editorial.
The assault on the straw poll was initially launched last week by Iowa's Republican governor, Terry Branstad, who said the event has outlived its usefulness. Other conservatives have also chimed in.
Yet it's the state Republican party, not the governor, that has final say over whether the event survives.
Iowa's State Republican Chairman A. J. Spiker defended the straw poll last week in a posting on the poll's website: "I believe the Iowa Straw Poll is possibly the best way for a presidential campaign to organize (put in place county and precinct leaders & activate them) for Iowa's First in the Nation Caucus. I think it is detrimental for any campaign to skip the opportunity presented in Ames and I disagree with Governor Branstad about ending our Iowa Straw Poll…The State GOP and the presidential campaigns will determine if there is an Ames Straw Poll come 2015."
There's little reason why local Republicans should feel compelled to eliminate an event that brings them – and the state – so much attention. Nor is it likely that little-known Republicans candidates will decide not to attend given their need for a higher national profile.
If that's the case, Iowa conservatives could find themselves in a showdown with national Republicans in 2015.

It's my great pleasure to present debut novelist Kerry Nietz.
Kerry Nietz is a refugee of the software industry. He spent more than a decade of his life flipping bits—first as one of the principal developers of the database product FoxPro for the now mythical Fox Software, and then as one of Bill Gates's minions at Microsoft. He is a husband, a father, a technophile and a movie buff. He has one previously published book, a memoir entitled FoxTales: Behind the Scenes at Fox Software. A Star Curiously Singing is his first novel.
JA: Congratulations on your debut novel, A Star Curiously Singing. What's the book about?
KN: A Star Curiously Singing is a speculative Christian novel with a decidedly cyberpunk feel. It takes place in a future hundreds of years from now, where much of the world is living under something akin to sharia law.
It is dualistic society, where average people live on the streets in near-squalor and the powerful ride above them in cable car-like conveyances. This latter group is shrouded in high tech, to the point of needing specialized human "debuggers" to handle their machines.
That's where my protagonist comes in. Sandfly is a debugger who's summoned to solve the mystery of why a bot malfunctioned. The unusual circumstance? The bot has been to space. Deep space. Something about the trip made it malfunction. So it is a sci-fi mystery novel, of sorts.
JA: What was the "from submission to contract" process like for you?
KN: Unusual, I guess.
My publisher—Jeff Gerke—is also a former acquisitions editor who now does freelance work. When the first draft of my novel was complete, I knew there were things about it that were outside the norm for novels. Plus I'd reached the point in my writing career where I really needed some constructive input about my style.
So, I hired Jeff to look over my manuscript and see what he thought. His initial response was very positive. There were some flaws, of course. But Jeff really got my story and style, and even hinted that if the flaws were addressed, he'd be interested in publishing it himself.
I spent the better part of a year addressing those things. The back and forth continued, with me sending him chunks that I'd changed, and him commenting or suggesting improvements—until finally one of the things he sent me was a contract. Now here we are.
JA: I hear you break all kinds of fiction rules with this novel. How so?
KN: Yes, I'm the author Jeff now has to apologize for when he speaks at writer's conferences.
The biggest rule I break is the tense. My novel is written in first person present as opposed to first person past. There are a couple reasons for that.
First, my protagonist Sandfly is this technologically enhanced individual who lives very much in the present, so the tense choice seemed to fit his personality and story.
Second, prior to this novel I wrote a memoir of a portion of my life in the high-tech industry. In that book, I wrote the prologue in first person present to give the reader a feel for what it was like to be me at that time. I received lots of compliments on the book as a whole, but the section I often got specific comments about was that very first chapter. Something about it really resonated. It made me wonder whether I could write a whole book that way.
Turns out I can.
KN: I hope they think: "Wow, that was really cool! I've never read anything like it." Then I hope they appreciate the story and the broad-stroke messages I try to convey. Also, aside from all the rule-breaking, I think I show things in this novel that have never been shown before, even in science fiction.
JA: What's next for you in the writing arena?
KN: If this book finds favor with the buying public, then a sequel is a very real possibility. I have about 50,000 words written in that direction, in fact.
JA: What's something people might be surprised to learn about you?
KN: Given the fact that my first two published books are tech-filled stories, they might be surprised to learn that I don't own a cell phone. It is the one glaring hole in my otherwise tech-filled façade. I don't feel the need to have one. Plus, sometimes I like being unreachable.
JA: What's the one far out sci-fi technology you'd most like to see become a household item?
KN: My book has a chapter where Sandfly rides an elevator to space. That's not a household item, I know, but it is something that isn't far outside the realm of possibility. An elevator to space—what could be cooler than that?
JA: The current theme of my blog is The Year of Dreams. If you could realize one life-long dream right now, what would it be?
KN: This is it. Having a novel published.
JA: Last but not least, how can people keep up with your latest publishing news?
KN: Either http://www.nietz.com/ or http://www.kerrynietz.com/ will find my website. Please check it out. I think it is very cool. Thanks!
Sandfly is a debugger. He is property. Bought and paid for by his master, a relatively benign lord in a future Earth living under sharia law.
All other faiths but one have been banned. And the word of the great Imam is supreme.
Sandfly just wants to debug his master's robots and avoid the mental pain shocks sent from the remote triggers owned by all the masters. But now he's been called into Earth orbit. Apparently the masters have a new spacecraft—one capable of interstellar flight. And on its maiden voyage, the only robot on board went mad and tore itself limb from limb.
Why? Better question: does it pose any risk to humans?
When Sandfly reviews the bot's files and replays its last moments, he hears something strange playing in the bot's ears as they orbit Betelgeuse.
He hears singing.
Is it just solar winds interfering with the robot's wiring? Or is it something else?
As Sandfly pieces together the clues, the masters spread the trap before his feet. Everyone is racing to the same conclusion, but only one side welcomes what that singing represents.
If you'd like to be entered to win a copy of A Star Curiously Singing, just leave a reply to this blog. I'll pick a winner at random on October 15th. Please leave an email address so I can contact you if you're the winner. (To prevent spammers from trolling for your email, please use this format with the brackets--you [at] yourmail [dot] com--or something similar.) Good luck!
