Working on Revisions
The overarching notes were a little overwhelming at first. I had to sit and think about them. So I did the page edits first because I knew when I went in to fix other stuff it would change the page numbers. I'm almost done with my revisions and am pretty sure I'll have them in by deadline, which is so freaky (the fact that I have a deadline, eeek!) I can barely believe it.
Is there a certain way you'd handle revisions? Do you use any kind of organizational tools like Excel?
For a great, in-depth post on handling revisions on a contracted story, check out Jody Hedlund's post.

I'm so excited for you and love reading about what the process is for you!!

Jessica, who is your editor? Mine is Melissa. Love her!
When I received my revision notes, I had about 8 changes to make--a few took seconds and others took several hours. I know future books will have many more changes, I'm sure.
For me, I did the easy ones first, then pondered the more challenging ones. I did not use a spreadsheet or anything like that. I'm not even sure how I would use one.
So excited for you!

Generally I read the overarching stuff first, which my agent always puts in the body of the e-mail, then start at page one and re-read the entire ms., fixing the line edits as I go. I also am fixing the overarching stuff as I go along, too, because often that changes things going all the way back to page one. Revisions are exhausting!!! But VERY rewarding, I've found. I feel this huge sense of accomplishment when I finish.

Yeah, I've been overwhelmed by seeing all the revision requests. I can't look at the whole and have to work on one scene at a time or I start to get all panicky. Baby steps!

I tackle the little things first. I know it's backwards, but they are more manageable and once I get those out of the way I feel like I can conquer more.
Exciting stage for you.

Oh boy - I'm right there with you!
I have a post scheduled about my experience for Monday!

- Jessica R. Patch said...
Wow! So exciting. I'd probably be overwhelmed too. Katie did a post not too long ago about how she revised. Very organized. I see she commented she was writing one for Monday.
Praying you meet deadlines and expectations! Yay!

- Anita Grace Howard said...
Woohoo on getting the edits done on time! Proud of you, girlie. I usually just dive in at the beginning point and insert my changes along the way. That way I can fix any ripples that appear. I would def. do line edits the way you did, though. First, before the pages change. So exciting to be doing edits for an editor! :)

I'm with Wendy...little things first and get them out of the way.
Excited for you!

- Jessica Nelson said...
Jessica, I think that's a smart way to do it. :-)
Awww, thank you Terri! *hugs*
Hi Lisa, mine is Emily. I wouldn't know how to use a spreadsheet either but I think some others do that. 8 changes is pretty good! :-)
- July 6, 2011 at 12:01 PM
- Jessica Nelson said...
Stephanie, I totally agree that they're rewarding! Your process sounds good. Do they use track changes? Mine didn't, so I have to do page numbers first or everything shifts with the edits. lol
No panic allowed, Linda! ;-)
Good point, Wendy. I agree!
Oooh, Katie, I can't wait to read it!

- Erica Vetsch said...
I just got a revision letter today, so I'm rolling up my sleeves and ready to dive in.
This one is going to take a bit more work than the last few, because I'm smack up against my word count and will need to take out as much as I put in.
- July 6, 2011 at 12:03 PM
- Jessica Nelson said...
Thanks for the prayers, Jessica! And yes, Katie strikes me as very organized too. Probably good qualities for a teacher to have. ;-)
Anita, dive is right! You don't mess around. LOL
Thank you Loree!

- Jessica Nelson said...
EEEk! Erica, that sounds challenging but I know you'll do it awesomely. :-)
- July 6, 2011 at 12:51 PM
- Karen Lange said...
I'd do my revisions the same way, I'm thinking. Haven't tried Excel or anything else like that. If I do, I'll let you know. Congrats on making the deadline!

I'm so glad you're sharing your process with us, and I'm thrilled to get to experience this amazing success with you vicariously.

- Laila Knight said...
How exciting for you! I hope I'm not the only one who thinks revisions are exciting. You're just that much closer at getting your book ready for publishing. And the more editors help polish the more amazing it'll be. My use of Excel has been limited to numbers and list making.

- Sarah Forgrave said...
I tend to be a details-first kind of person, but I'm trying to switch it up this time. Once I finish drafting, I'm going to try and look at the big picture first. We'll see how long that lasts... :)
- July 6, 2011 at 3:53 PM
- Jessica Nelson said...
Excel is my nemesis. LOL I admire anyone who uses it well.
Deb, I can't wait to read your story, published! You're such a beautiful writer.
Laila, no, LOL, revisions are definitely exciting to me!
Sarah, I bet you'll do fine. If it's your own editing, def. do the big picture first. ;-)
- July 6, 2011 at 4:05 PM
- Julie Jarnagin said...
I print out my revision letter. I read it. I think about it (or pout about it :)) for a few days. I start tackling the easy changes to get my momentum going, and I slowly work my way up to the scary changes. When I'm finished I can see how necessary the changes really were. Good luck!
- July 7, 2011 at 10:23 AM
- Anonymous said...
That makes perfect sense, doing the edits that have page numbers first! Plus then you had some smaller successes to help motivate you toward the big one, as well as time to think about how you'd address the overall story goals. Smart! I'll have to remember that if/when my time comes.

I know it is stressful, but it still sounds cool, doesn't it; "deadline." Congratulations.

Julie, there are def. some I feel like pouting over but others I'm like, "why didn't I think of that?". LOL
Hey Anon, thanks for stopping by. ;-)
Oh yes, Warren, I LOVE having a deadline. It makes things so much realer to me, in a good way.

Revisions mean that you have a story to get out there. What fun. You have a great attitude. I'm sure the overarching thing will fall into place just like the page by page fixes. You can do it. This is so exciting to learn the process from your experience.
- July 8, 2011 at 12:49 PM
- Keli Gwyn said...
I trust the revisions are going well, Jessie. Two things I've learned are that I'm not a writer but a re-writer and that each editing pass makes my story better than it was before. =)

Congrats on being at this stage in your writing career! How exciting (and I'm sure a bit stressful with a deadline!)
I've just had my first encounter with my editor at Highlights for Children magazine. It's for a short children's story - certainly not overwhelming, as I can see editing an entire book would be. My editor at the magazine edited my work and then asked me to proofread the first copy. I submitted my suggested edits, and I am eager to see which ones of them they use in the next round of editing.
And thanks for commenting on my FB page! Always good to see you!

In a scenario that can best be described as Grinch-like, Amazon Web Service suffered an outage on Christmas Eve that ended up taking out Netflix during what surely would have been a busy night of online movie delivery.
Netflix pointed the finger at Amazon for the unfortunate turn of events. "We're sorry for the Christmas Eve outage. Terrible timing! Engineers are working on it now. Stay tuned to @Netflixhelps for updates," Netflix tweeted at 4:25 p.m. PST, Dec. 25.
Amazon said the outage was due to an issue with AWS Elastic Load Balancing, according to the New York Times, but AWS has yet to offer a more substantial explanation of what went wrong.

UNDP Supports the Establishment of One Stop Shop Agreement in Al Tafileh Labor DirectorateAug 19, 2013
Amman, 19 August 2013 – The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Ministry of Labor (MOL) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Monday, to establish a One Stop Shop in Al Tafileh Labor Directorate Employment Section and offer training for the staff to manage and operate the center.
The MOU, which was signed by the H.E. Dr. Nidal Al Qatamin, Minister of labor and Minister of Transportation and Ms. Zena Ali Ahmed, UNDP Country Director, aims at establishing more One Stop Shops in other governorates after evaluating the experience in Al Tafileh and in case of securing the needed additional funding.
The establishment of the One Stop Shop in Al Tafileh is one of the outputs of the "Youth Employment Generation Programme in Arab Transition Countries - Jordan Component - Phase II" project which is financed by the Government of Japan and designed and implemented by UNDP-Jordan to address the complexity of youth unemployment bottlenecks and contributes to poverty reduction and social stability in Jordan. It builds on the experience and lessons learned gained from the successful implementation of the Phase I of the project (March 2012-March 2013). This second phase of the project is currently under the process of implementation in 6 governorates distributed equally in the North (Ajloun, Jerash), Middle (Al- Balqa) and South of Jordan (Maa'n, Karak, Al Tafileh), characterized with high level of poverty and/or unemployment rates. The project is designed to target young people aged 15 to 26 years, with a special focus on recent graduates, school drop-outs or people with university diplomas with the necessary experience and skills that would enhance their marketability and employment opportunities. One Stop Shop approach for providing employment services is recognized as one of the best practices to ensure efficient and effective provision of services to job seekers. Developing a modern employment office that provides employment services in a One Stop Shop is an excellent starting point to enhance collaboration and coordination between the different entities providing employment services in Jordan.
The one-stop-shop is expected to receive around 4000 unemployed youth who are seeking guidance and training. It is expected that 30% of the beneficiaries will be unemployed women. The main objectives of this solution are:
- Decrease rising unemployment rates in governorates.
- Empowerment of the youth and women, who are most vulnerable to effects of unemployment, poverty and social disturbances.
- Provide access to basic high quality employment services such as job placement, job matching, carrier guidance, consultations to vocational education and training programs, in addition to help entrepreneurs in conducting feasibility studies and accessing funds.

Communications Officer
Office of UN Resident Coordinator in Jordan

MacFarlane wins Townwide golf title; Nolte takes Senior crown for 3rd straight year
Annesley MacFarlane's sons Sammy and Will gained their share of notoriety while competing in their respective sports at Brunswick School. Wednesday, Annesley MacFarlane garnered a lot of attention with her own athletic achievement at Griffith E. Harris Golf Course.
Though MacFarlane said she spent a lot of time recovering from some shots she wish she hadn't hit, her performance was good enough to become the new Townwide champion at the Woman's Town Golf Tournament. Posting a round of 86, MacFarlane won her first Townwide title at the annual event, edging Jane Sprung and Chris Mayuko Koike, both of whom finished just one shot off the pace.
"Anytime you can win a tournament like this it is something very special," said MacFarlane, who plays out of Round Hill Club. "I found it tough out there today and I actually had to say goodbye to my driver on the 10th hole and use a five wood off the tee going in. Sometimes golf is just about managing on a day you don't bring it all out there."
MacFarlane managed just fine Wednesday and had the winner's trophy in her possession as proof. She placed third in the Townwide flight last summer, finishing behind two-time champion Deborah Jamgochian and runner-up Brooke Nethercott.
"I always look forward to competing in this tournament," said MacFarlane, who won the closest to the pin contest on the 11th and seventh hole. "The course played beautifully, it's in super shape and I like the way Joe Felder (head PGA golf professional at The Griff) runs these tournaments. The pace of play is attended to so well and we zipped around pretty quick."
After not playing golf for years, MacFarlane picked up the sport again when she moved to Greenwich about 20 years ago. She's enjoyed playing rounds with her sons Sammy, Will and Jamie over the years, all of whom are athletes. Sammy MacFarlane starred at linebacker and fullback for Brunswick for four seasons, registering a team-record 107 tackles his senior year. Will MacFarlane served as one of the captains of the Bruins golf team and was a standout squash player and Jamie, who is still a student at Brunswick, is on the football team. Will and Sammy MacFarlane have continued their athletic careers in college. Sammy is a fullback at the University of Virginia, while Will plays club squash at Stanford.
"Both of my parents played golf, so it was fun to play with them and I've enjoyed being with our boys on the golf course," MacFarlane said. "Golf has really added another dimension to my life. I've met people from lots of different places because of it."
Sprung was pleased with her second place showing in the Townwide Flight, but more importantly, was happy to be on the course again. A breast cancer survivor, Sprung was paired with Cecilia Bowers, who also has recovered from the disease.
"Because we are both breast cancer survivors I feel like we have a special bond," said Sprung, who made her first appearance in the Town Tournament. "I feel like we were able to play our best because we were supporting each other. Today was the first day that I felt like I had my game back. It was a great experience."
Pamela Jennemyr, a Greenwich High School student shot a 98 in the Townwide Flight. Sponsored by The Dowling Group and Vineyard Vines, the tournament also recognized the low net winners in the Townwide, Senior and Super Senior flights.
Koike earned low net honors in the Townwide group (68), while Connie Bowman was second (71) and Gloria Simon was third (80).
Heidi Nolte continued her reign of supremacy in the Senior flight, winning the title for the third consecutive year. Sinking a birdie putt on the par-4 sixth hole and a par putt on the par-5 14th hole, Nolte carded an 88.
"It was a struggle all day," said Nolte, who took long drive honors on the fourth hole and won the closest to the pin contest on No. 15. "I had to gut it out and wound up making some good saves. The rough was tough, which made it a challenge."
Despite being the defending champion, Nolte couldn't help feeling a few butterflies as she teed on No. 1.
"You get a little nervous in a tournament like this," Nolte said. "It's not like going out and playing a regular round. But I was pleased with my round."
Petra van der Lee Saichin placed second in the Senior flight (89), followed by Laurabeth Rodgers (90) and Aie Teck Lau (90).
"I am very pleased with my score, I have never played the back nine so well," said van der Lee Saichin, who shot a 41 on the back nine. "I had some good putts on the back nine, which is very challenging. I always love playing in this tournament and I hope to play again next year."
Suzanne Cincotta didn't finish among the leaders in the Senior flight, but she enjoyed playing her first round at The Griff.
"Petra (van der Lee Saichin) recruited me to play, I have never played here before," Cincotta said. "It's a really nice course and I had a lot of fun watching all of the good players out here."
Patricia Dadakis was the Senior flight low net champion (68), followed by Josephine Chiapetta (69) and Tina Allen (70). Dadakis' gross score was a 91.
"I am thrilled," Dadakis said. "The last couple of years I haven't done well, so I wanted to shoot in the 90's today. Finishing with a 91 is a good day for me. Competing in this tournament is a good test of your own skill."
After finishing second behind Yanna Saari in the Super Senior flight last summer, Mary Cleworth captured the title Wednesday, shooting a 96. Saari placed second in the Super Senior flight (98). Carole Kiachif was the Super Senior low net winner (73), followed by Emily Koester (78) and Thomasina Bulger (78).
"I thought I was doing better last Monday before it rained," (the tournament was suspended last week due to inclement weather) said Cleworth, who was closest to the pin on the seventh hole. "I had a few good pars today though and it feels great to win it this year. I'm very excited."

Does anybody remember the classic game Hocus Pocus? It was an old sidescrolling platform game made by Apogee in 1994.
What would happen if Hocus Pocus was a fps like Doom, rather than a sidescroller? Inquiring minds wanted to know! Hocusdoom is a Total Conversion for Doom 2 that attempts to bring Hocus into the third dimension in a dazzling new adventure!
Link to Doomworld Forums page
[===== Download: =====]
Requires the latest stable version of GzDoom and Doom 2.
Be careful using unstable devbuilds, as obviously they may not always work.

Hocusdoom will have relatively the same features as the original Hocus Pocus. You complete maps by collecting all available crystals. However, you can also find red crystals that let you warp to secret maps at the end of the level. You are awarded points for finding treasure, killing enemies, and completing each map within a time limit. At the end of every episode your highest score will be recorded.
Rapid Fire - Fire a long continuous stream of shots lightning-fast. Lasts for 30 seconds and doesn't use extra shot ammo.
Flamethrower - Fire a short-range stream of fire that leaves smoldering ground. Incredibly powerful and rare! Lasts for 30 seconds and doesn't use extra shot ammo.
Extra Lightning Bolt - Lets you fire lightning bolts faster. Your shots slowly recharge, but charge faster if you hit enemies.
Twin Shot - Shoot two bolts at one time. Gives 40 shots per bottle.
Splitter Shot - Shoot three bolts in a spread pattern. Gives 30 shots per bottle.
Laser Shot - Shoots a beam of lightning that pierces through enemies. Gives 20 shots per bottle.
Power Shot - Shoots a single large ball of energy that splits into smaller shots. Devestating against single enemies and tight groups. Gives 20 shots per bottle.
Fireball - Gives 3 shots that will obliterate and pass through any baddie. Bosses are a bit tougher but will still go through them!
Power Wand - Special secondary weapon that is incredibly powerful, but ammo is limited! Make short work of those monsters! This weapon destroys itself when you run out of ammo.
Jump Potion - Lets you jump super high. Only useable once.
Teleport Bottle - Warps you to another area of the map. Only useable once.
Along the way to find those crystals you'll grab treasure to get the top score!
Ruby - 100 points
Diamond - 250 points
Goblet - 500 points
Opal - 750 points
Emerald - 750 points
Crown - 1000 points
Ankh - 1500 points
Other types of secret treasure await, worth much more. Happy hunting!
[===== Help Needed: =====]
While I don't mind doing most everything by myself, there is one thing I could use help with--enemy sprites. I can use the original sprites for side views, but I need front and back views for them. If anyone would like to help, I'll provide a spritesheet that you can use as a base, to keep everything consistent.
Edit: As of 2017 I have 3/5 of the sprites done, however many still remain. If you still wish to help, please let me know!

Jim Domke and The Shooter's Bag Concept
"I designed my first Shooter's Bag to solve a problem, without a thought that I might actually end up in the photo bag business. As a staffer at the Philadelphia Inquirer, I needed a bag I could work out of fast, and on the run if need be. Most bags are designed more like carrying cases or storage devices, with way too much bulk and padding. This is not only awkward and unnecessary, but takes away utility, speed and capacity. The bag I created had the necessary cushioning, yet tons more room. It was designed so that I could get at my equipment instantly, without having to take the bag from my shoulder. My colleagues liked my ideas and so did thousands of other photographers. What started out as a kitchen table experiment is now a line of intelligently designed and executed bags and accessories that are recognized throughout the world as the photojournalist's choice. Thank you for considering Domke; an American-made camera bag of the very highest quality."
Domke Bags for cameras are unlike other bags because of their flexible design and lack of bulk. Domke Jackets are a perfect companion to Domke Bags. You won't find thick walls and you won't find heavy foam or space wasting padding in Domke cases and bags. Domke Jackets are as comfortable and practical as Domke Bags! The absence of thick walls and heavy padding means you can fit more equipment in less space and the bag hugs your hips instead of bouncing against them. Some Domke Bags are also Water-resistant. Domke Bags are made in the USA and are available in a number of colours depending on model. Many models feature the famouse Domke Gripper strap. Domke Jackets have 16 pockets to keep your gear accessible.

Judging from media reports, Israel might appear to be in the midst of a radical and violent political and religious polarization. "Hilltop youth" from the settlements are seen allegedly burning mosques, as well as attacking "peace activists" and even IDF officers. Haredi men are shown assaulting secular women in segregated buses and even on sidewalks, and members of Israel's democratically elected Knesset are portrayed as waging war against the courts and civil society.
As in many press reports on Israel, the reality is often sensationalized and exaggerated out of all proportion, both for commercial reasons ("Jews are news") and as part of the campaign to portray the Jewish nation-state as doomed to failure.
In reality, Israeli society is far more unified than American society, with its all-out ideological warfare between conservatives and liberals. Unlike in the United States and many European societies, the conflicts and acts of violence from Beit Shemesh to Mea Shearim are confined to small fringes, and they reflect the ideological and power struggles between the different extremes.
In each case, the fringes on both sides benefit from the confrontation and manipulate the clashes in order to promote their visibility and power. The perpetrators of the attacks on women (and even schoolgirls) and of other forms of violence are known as the sikarikim – a small haredi fringe seeking to gain attention through extremism. At most, a few hundred individuals are involved. In contrast, the vast majority of this community, like other Israelis, is clearly repulsed by this violence, and many rabbis have denounced these actions.
But in parallel, Israel also has an intolerant ultra-secular fringe, waging ideological war against what they see as closed and antiquated versions of Judaism, and the haredi community's failure to carry its weight economically or in the army. In politics, as in physics, for every action by one extreme, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The attacks on the women and girls have provided the excuse for the anti-religious to spring into action. On both sides, supporters have been bombarded with warnings of dire threats to treasured values unless the faithful stand strong.
Violent incidents involving a small group of young extremists in the settlements, under the name of "tag michir" (price tag) follow a similar pattern. Fundamental questions related to the borders of Israel, the status of settlements beyond the pre-1967 "green line" and whether a lasting peace agreement with the Palestinians is possible remain wide open and intensely debated. Most of the settlement community is repelled by this crude violence, and the tag machir group represents the hard-core fringe. But they gain legitimacy by opposing groups from the other ideological extreme, such as Peace Now and Machsom Watch. Both sides use headlines and attention to promote their visibility and influence, and to attract funding.
In contrast, the vast majority of Israelis are alienated by all of these groups, as reflected in voting behaviour and public opinion polls. The general public across the religious-secular and left-right spectrum rejects both the ideologies and the use of violence and intimidation. Israelis have grappled with a number of very complex dilemmas for decades, and most realize that radical "solutions" and miracle cures don't work.
But in both the Israeli and international media, each incident becomes a headline – a certain sign that Israel is cracking at the seams. Many reporters ignore or don't understand the unique complexity that Israelis face. These details fare poorly in the competition for news space. Other journalists have a pre-formed hostile attitude toward Israel, blowing any incidents out of proportion and giving all of the fringes far more credit than they deserve. This gives the extremists the attention and influence they crave.
Israel is a very complex country, with more than its share of rough edges and plenty of room for improvement. But the manipulated images of violence and extremism are far from the reality.

Grand Island Fire Co.
Shortly before 1 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28, Grand Island Fire Co. firefighters responded to a call of smoke in a residence, which was discovered by the Love Road occupant who had returned home from a shopping trip.
When Engine No. 5 and firefighting crews arrived on location within two minutes, heavy smoke was encountered throughout the interior of the home. GIFC Deputy Chief Matt Osinski stated that "unattended cooking" caused overheating, which shattered the glass on a countertop electric stove. Although the fire was out upon arrival, damage was estimated at approximately $1,000.
A thermal imager was also used to rule out fire extension into nearby walls, flooring, etc. This valuable device permits firefighters to "see" into enclosed spaces to spot hidden fire and will be demonstrated at the GIFC Fire Prevention Open House on Oct. 12, Osinski noted.
All GIFC units returned to service at 1:21 p.m.

This article was reported by NAM aidsmap.
An article in NAM aidsmap reported on a new study, published in the journal "AIDS," that showed young men who have sex with men (MSM) have viral loads that point to a high transmission rate. Researchers found that the mean viral load of young MSM, approximately 125,000 copies per milliliter (ml), was significantly higher than the typical 47,000 copies/ml found in their heterosexual counterparts.
Study authors noted that these high viral loads could be attributed to the reality that young people are diagnosed closer to the time of infection, when viral loads are extremely high, whereas many adults are diagnosed later, when viral loads have declined already. Late diagnosis is a factor of HIV-related sickness and death in the United States. Health experts emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and care to assist persons in living longer, healthier lives, as well as lowering the transmission rate. Low viral loads through antiretroviral therapy greatly reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to sexual partners. A "test and treat" approach is urged as a way of controlling the epidemic.
Sexuality and mode of transmission both were associated with viral load, with significantly higher rates in MSM and homosexual sex compared to heterosexual sex or mother-to-child transmission. "Our findings suggest that the population of HIV-infected youth may be a highly infectious population," the authors wrote, which they admit may be due to prompt diagnosis. "As supported by our higher CD4 cell counts and proportions with CD4 cell count more than 350 (over 2/3) compared with adults (43%), youth are more likely diagnosed closer to their time of infection than adults and, therefore, viral dynamics may skew viral load data."
The full report, "HIV Viral Load Levels and CD4+ Cell Counts of Youth in 14 US Cities," was published online in the journal AIDS (2013; doi: 10.1097/QAD.0000000000000183).

Bake Sale Backlog
There are so many bake sale stories to tell, I need more than a few cookies to get through them. I need an uninterrupted, non-stop, bake-sale-blog-a-thon, complete with coffee and quiet, as well as cookies.
Rather than camping out on Thursday night/ Friday morning to get the best deals available on Black Friday 2008, I think I'm going to get up early, order some cookies from the Cookies for Kids' Cancer cookie sale going on now and write up as many of the amazing, inspiring, wonderful bake sale tales as my hands can stand. Tonight, though, I'll simply feature one AMAZING Cookie who took Gretchen's birthday wish and made it her new life mantra: bake sale, bake sale, bake sale.
Meet Jennifer Fish of San Francisco, California. Jennifer is a more than a fan of Cookies for Kids' Cancer bake sales. She's the poster cookie for the vision of Cookies for Kids' Cancer. Since August, Jennifer has held three bake sales and is currently in the midst of a fourth Cookies endeavor. Here's a quick rundown of how Jennifer has made Cookies a part of her everyday life.
1. Gretchen's birthday wish became Jennifer's birthday party – Jennifer began her bake sale odyssey moments after Gretchen announced her birthday wish for 100 readers of Prince Liam's blog to host bake sales. She started with an email to all her friends with the subject, "This is very presumptuous but IF anyone wants to know what I want for my birthday I want cookies. I'm serious." In the email announcement, Jennifer went on to say, "I would love to have a bunch of cookies to sell at various events between now and the end of the year. So . . . if you are in the baking/philanthropic mood, I'd so appreciate any number of any kind of cookie or any baked goods you think I could sell. Frankly, I don't care if you bake them. If you want to buy your favorite cookies that's fine, too. Don't worry about packaging. I now own 2,000 lovely cellophane bags and tissue and am working on the gift tags. I simply want to help Gretchen raise money so other kids do not have to go through the hell Liam is going through." With 5 minutes of prep time, Jennifer raised $150 that was then matched by her company's match program. Tips: believe bake sale proceeds can make a difference and be willing to ask for donations.
2. Mitzvah Day is a way to get kids involved – After the success of her birthday bake sale, Jennifer then decided to organize a Temple bake sale as part of Mitzvah Day, which every Temple has. Mitzvah Day makes it easy to get the kids and the congregation involved with baking or selling. Jennifer's sale tale has a special twist. . .after striking up a conversation about Cookies for Kids' Cancer on a business flight, Jennifer enlisted Beth Jordan of Clif Bars to be in the Cookies army. Beth was immediately interested in supporting the cause and getting her company involved. Thanks to Beth, 600+ Clif Bars were donated to the Mitzvah Day sale. Tips: make Cookies a part of your life. Talk about it wherever you go. You never know when another good cookie is just waiting for the opportunity to help.
3. Election Day. . .remember our grassroots drive to get 50 sales in 50 states on Election Day? Even though Jennifer already hosted TWO Cookies For Kids' Cancer bake sales prior to November 4th, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to give it another go on Election Day. Her plan: in addition to baked goods, she and co-workers sold 'recycled' leftover Halloween candy. They packaged it by color–red candy and blue candy. Tips: If one bake sale is good, three must be better!
The latest news from Jennifer . . . she's only just begun to spread the word about Cookies for Kids' Cancer. Jennifer and a team of volunteers, including Fraya Berg who flew out from NYC to help her, just last week baked 100 lbs of biscotti to send to clients as holiday gifts and included info about Cookies for Kids' Cancer.
You might be waiting for the right moment, the right event, the right timing to have a bake sale. Our message to you – stop waiting. Hosting a bake sale is simply the right thing to do, whether you raise $10 or $1,000. Your bake sale will spread the word to everyone around you about the immediate and desperate need for pediatric cancer funding. And if you cannot host a bake sale, simply click on "Buy Cookies" right now to purchase a dozen or more gourmet cookies from Cookies for Kids' Cancer.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the vehicle was presented to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate presently in production. Original sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 devices for the very first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the model year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, however numerous modifications were made at the standard opening of the brand-new model year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of generators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. In the case of at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made enough distinction to necessitate designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually endured with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Ashby MN are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were having to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller than the first version however, due to the extra equipment needed to fulfill brand-new US emission and safety regulations, was much heavier than the first model. Performance was reduced and in the very first year only 385,993 cars were offered.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Ashby MN were readily available between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a 3rd time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was actually huge enough for 4 people. The trunk was larger and so was the engine bay. The body styles offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 speed car and Ford built 10,478 commemorative replicas. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Recently we noticed a hummingbird that kept coming to our red geranium flowers but didn't stay to feed. That got us wondering what was going on. We did a little research and found out that Hummingbirds need to eat almost constantly just to stay alive. They must eat more than their own weight each day just to survive. In fact, they have to eat more frequently than any other type of bird or animal.
So, we made a really easy feeder to attract that little hummingbird ... or maybe there were more than just that one. It was hard to tell. Since Hummingbirds are attracted to the color red, we took a small, red, plastic coffee container we had saved from our recyclable box. You could use any red container that will hold up outdoors, but the coffee container already had a lid, so it was perfect for our feeder.
Simply cut an opening on each side of the container, like a little window. Our opeining is about 2.5 inches wide and 2 inches high. You can either set your feeder on a fence post or balcony or attach string/wire to hang from a tree branch or garden hook. You don't have to make the opening too high up on the container, otherwise you will have to add a greater amount of "homemade nectar" when you refill it.
We had a few fly-bys from a hummingbird within the first half hour. Since the hummingbird didn't stop to feed after the first two flybys, we decided to strengthen the sugar solution. We have found, and also read, that to first attract the hummingbirds you need to mix a solution of 1 part hot water to 1 part sugar. This ratio is similar to the flowers that the birds get the most calories from. In fact, if you keep a strong solution of 1:1, then the hummingbirds won't need to feed as often each hour. They may still need to feed around 5 times in an hour, but if they are getting less caloric intake, either from the sugar nectar or certain flowers, they sometimes have to feed as many times as 14 times in an hour. Wow. How incredible.
Within about 20 minutes of strengthening our sugar solution, we had our first Hummingbird feeding from our feeder. You can see the hummingbird in the photo, which isn't the best but we did capture it in the photo.
When you fill your feeder, fill it to the edge of the opening, so the birds can get the nectar. Change out the solution every 4 or 5 days and clean the feeder before refilling. Once you attract the Hummingbirds, be sure to keep the feeder filled. They will conme to depend on it and they really need the nutrition prior to flying South once it starts to get cool. But be aware that you may have a bird or two that won't fly South until very late in the year. In fact, we've read that occasionally a bird will stay into part of winter. But it does depend what part of the country you live in.
It is simply amazing that these tiny Hummingbirds will fly all the way into Mexico, and other parts of Central America ... even into South America, then fly back up North again in the Spring. They fly straight across the Gulf non-stop. There are over 50 species of Hummingbirds and some even fly as far North as Canada.
After about 6 hours, we have now seen 3 different Hummingbirds. Two of the birds appear to be Ruby Throated Hummingbirds and the other is very tiny and we think it is a Calliope, which are usually seen in the western part of the country but sometimes they fly East prior to migrating. We have seen Hummingbirds over the years that visit the geraniums but our geraniums are sparse this year. We are located in central Pennsylvania.

Last weekend I finished reading Ciceronis filius by U.E Paoli (PDF, 8 MB). Thinking that it is worth reading if someone is learning Latin, I decided to write a short review.
The sub-title gives a good impression of what it is about: puerilis narratio ad domesticos Romanorum mores illustrandos in usum scholarum redacta. However, this is also a bit misleading. Contrary to other Latin readers, especially those geared towards absolute beginners (e.g. Reed's Julia or Fay's Carolus et Maria), it is not "puerile". The book (91 pages of actual text with many pictures) instead uses the story of Cicero's son to illustrate Roman life. The story providing the framework begins with the birth of Cicero's son and ends with the death of his father, drawing an often quite critical (but not entirely damning) picture of the father. Filling out the framework are passages covering many aspects of Roman life (the material world, customs). The most important ones:
- Birth and customs associated with it
- Names
- House (also about the insulae)
- Nuptials
- Feasts, Eating, Kitchen (including utensils)
- Children's games
- School (and utensils)
- Medicine
- Furniture: beds and tables
- Mail service
- Funerals
- Villa rustica
- Travel (and carts)
- War (trated only very briefly)
- Clothes, hats, shoes
- Baths
- Gladiators
Language: Paoli uses the entire Latin grammar (including subjunctive, conditional sentences, etc.). The difficulty level stays the same from the beginning to the end. I think that it is a good book to read right after finishing learning Latin grammar.
Sample text:
This passage is quite representative, also for the size of these. The longest ones are not more than twice the size of it.De secundis mensis.
Perfecta cena, non ante secundarum mensarum initium fiebat, quam dominus Laribus, vino mero in mensam effuso, libasset. Larium parva signa in mensa ad id statuebantur; omnes bona omina proferebant. In secundis mensis placentae adponebantur melle vel caseo confectae, variis cum pomis, atque ad irritandam gulam, quo libentius convivae potarent, sicca bellaria, uva passa, arida ficus. Tempus enim potandi erat, nec ulla iam edendi cupiditate satur conviva tenebatur.
A small hint: use Anthony Rich's Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary and Greek Lexicon while reading this book (in my opinion a must-have, at least as a PDF).

Sabrina is the Gym Leader of the Saffron Gym. Known as "The Master of Psychic Pokémon" ("The Mistress of Psychic-type Pokémon" in Generation IV), she has had psychic powers ever since she was a child, when she accidentally bent a spoon. She apparently dislikes battling, but is hard to beat because she can communicate with her Pokémon telepathically. Her fame has grown so much that even Trainers living in the Sevii Islands have heard of her. Previously there were two Gyms in Saffron City, a Fighting-type Gym and a Psychic-type Gym. Sabrina used her advantage to defeat the rival Gym and strip them of their Gym status.
She appears to have the ability to see the future. In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal she states that three years ago she foresaw the arrival of another strong challenger (realized in the form of Ethan, Kris, and Lyra). After this second defeat, she accepts that her ability of foresight may be limited.
In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen, Trainers must navigate warp tiles to find Sabrina hiding in the middle of her Gym. Defeating her will earn them the Marsh Badge and a Psychic-type TM: TM46 (Psywave) in Generation I; TM04 (Calm Mind) in Generation III. The Gym maintains a similar style in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver. The warp tiles are maintained, as is the Badge: Sabrina, however, gives no TM in Generation II and TM48 (Skill Swap) in Generation IV.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Sabrina has received a major redesign, now sporting a vastly different hairstyle and changing her wardrobe from a conservative dark-red turtleneck to a completely new, more casual-looking outfit. After her initial defeat in Saffron City, she ventures outside of her Gym. She can be found at the dock for the S.S. Aqua in the Olivine City Harbor at any time on Friday. After the player has obtained her phone number here, she can be called during Sunday afternoon to arrange a rematch at the Fighting Dojo she once defeated.
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Sabrina appears in the Pokémon World Tournament as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. She also takes part in Pokéstar Studios movies as Magic Queen Bellelba (Japanese: まほうクイーン ジュジュベ Magic Queen Jujube), a villain in Mystery Doors of the Magical Land Series.
Sabrina also appears in Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2. A large number of her Pokémon here are not of the Psychic-type.

In the anime
In the main series
In the anime, Sabrina was the fourth Gym Leader Ash encountered. He initially challenged her in Abra and the Psychic Showdown, and had a rematch with her in Haunter versus Kadabra.
Sabrina inherited her psychic power from her father, who had the ability to teleport from location to location, as well as telekinesis. It manifested when she was young, and it was soon apparent that Sabrina's abilities far exceeded her father's. She was able to use her psychic powers to do many things — teleportation, telepathy, telekinesis, and transmutation.
As her power increased, she grew more obsessed with developing it. She became less and less emotional, using her abilities for destructive purposes, even transforming her mother into a doll. This caused a deep psychological rift. The emotions she tried to shut off developed into a separate personality — a young girl who manifested as a puppet around Sabrina. Sabrina's mind was divided into the cold, callous woman with a thirst for power and the little girl who just wanted to have fun.
Sabrina became the Leader of the Saffron Gym, and turned it into an institute where fellow psychics could develop their powers. Ash was headed to Saffron City one day, unknowingly watched by Sabrina. Sabrina's younger self used her psychic abilities to save Ash and his friends from Team Rocket. The next day, despite warnings from a mysterious man, Ash challenged Sabrina and lost miserably. Sabrina used her powers to shrink Ash and his friends, but they were saved by the same man. He cautioned Ash that only Ghost-type Pokémon could defeat Psychic-types.
Ash resolved to catch a Ghost-type Pokémon. After a trip to the Lavender Tower, Ash returned with a Haunter he had befriended. Ash challenged Sabrina to a rematch, but Haunter had wandered off in the meantime. Ash managed to escape Sabrina's wrath, rescued by the mysterious man once again, but Brock and Misty were transformed into dolls and placed into a dollhouse, where they met Sabrina's mother in the same predicament.
After talking with the man, who was revealed to be Sabrina's father, Ash returned once more, and during the match, Haunter appeared and started to playfully tease Sabrina. Haunter's antics delighted Sabrina so much, that she was no longer able to contain her emotions and started to laugh. This caused her two personalities to merge back into one. Ash was deemed the winner of the match because of the inability of Sabrina or her psychically-linked Pokémon to battle, and he won the Marsh Badge. Haunter chose to stay with Sabrina and her reunited family.
She was seen in a flashback in The Tower of Terror.
This listing is of Sabrina's known Pokémon in the anime:
On hand
Kadabra first appeared as an Abra in Abra and the Psychic Showdown. Sabrina used it in a one-on-one Gym battle against Ash. During the battle with Ash's Pikachu, Abra evolved into a Kadabra and with its Psychic-type attacks, it eventually caused Ash to forfeit the match to save Pikachu from being further injured. It was shown that Sabrina and Kadabra share a strong psychic bond.
Ash later returned for a rematch in Haunter versus Kadabra. During the battle, Ash's Haunter appeared during the battle and made Sabrina laugh for the first time in years, which caused Kadabra to laugh as well due to the psychic bond it has with Sabrina. Due to this, Sabrina decided to give the Marsh Badge to Ash.

Haunter first appeared in The Tower of Terror. Ash went to the Pokémon Tower to capture a Ghost-type Pokémon, because Sabrina's father told him Ghost-type Pokémon were strong against Psychic types like Kadabra. When he was there, he ran into Haunter, as well as its other two evolutionary family members Gastly and Gengar. Ash did not capture any of the three Pokémon, but on the way back to Saffron, he discovered Haunter was following him and decided to use it in his battle with Sabrina.
After returning to the Gym and announcing he wanted to battle Sabrina again, Haunter disappeared, forcing Ash to use his Pikachu once again. Before the battle was completed, however, Haunter appeared in front of Sabrina and started making faces, causing her to smile and laugh for the first time in many years. Because Sabrina and Kadabra shared a psychic connection, both her and Kadabra were unable to battle from laughing so hard. After Ash was given the Marsh Badge and was ready to leave, Haunter remained in Saffron City.

None of Alakazam's moves are known.
|File 3: Giovanni
In the manga
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga
The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga presents a more sympathetic portrayal of Sabrina. She appears in the chapter Haunting My Dreams as a kind and gentle shrine maiden who runs a Gym in the mountains with her Abra.
When she was a child, Sabrina's Pokémon were all killed by a gigantic Haunter called the Black Fog that used Dream Eater to suck out their souls. After defeating Ash in a Gym battle, Sabrina hears of the Black Fog appearing at the Pokémon Tower, and goes off to defeat it. Unfortunately, she herself falls prey to the Black Fog and her soul is sucked out. Eventually, with Brock and Ash's help, Sabrina is able to defeat the Black Fog. (Although Ash tries to catch it with an Ultra Ball, it kills itself using Selfdestruct rather than let itself be captured.)
Abra is Sabrina's only known Pokémon. It was used in Ash's Gym battle and won. Later, it was able to hold off a Haunter nicknamed the Black Fog.
|Haunting My Dreams!
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Sabrina is one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and serves under Giovanni in Pokémon Adventures.
She first appears in Meanwhile...Vileplume!, where she floats on top of her Kadabra and spots Red leaving with an Eevee that Team Rocket experimented on. She comments how perfect it is that Eevee is in his hands and takes her leave elsewhere. Under Giovanni's orders, Sabrina captured Moltres and brought it to him at Saffron City. She attacks Red at Pallet Town, where she reveals that she has kidnapped Professor Oak and taunts Red by telling him to come to Saffron City. Once they arrive, they find out that Sabrina's Mr. Mime closed off Saffron City with a barrier.
Once Red, Blue, and Green manage to get past the barrier and inside the Silph Co. building, they are split up and face the three Rocket members alone. Sabrina is paired up against Green, who she forces to relive painful moments of her past by using her psychic abilities to pry into her mind and make her fears look real through illusions. Green eventually escapes the illusions by goading Sabrina into slashing her dress open, revealing two of her Pokémon hidden in her chest. Green's Pokémon use sound attacks to prevent Sabrina from using her powers and causing the illusions to fail. With Sabrina distracted, Green takes this chance to steal Sabrina's Marsh Badge and make her escape.
Sabrina eventually gets out of the attack and finds Red and Green with the Badge Energy Amplifier. Angered, she summons Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno and has them surround Red. When Green activates the machine in order to obtain the new Pokémon she assumed it would create, she accidentally causes the three legendary Pokémon to fuse into one creature. Sabrina commands Thu-Fi-Zer and uses it to attack the three with its great strength. Eventually, it is defeated when Red, Blue, and Green combine their attacks into one and manage to separate the three Pokémon back into their original forms.
In the Yellow chapter, Sabrina reappears with Koga and Lt. Surge to help battle the Elite Four on Cerise Island. There, they reveal that after their defeat at the Silph Co. building, they managed to escape and were planning on making a comeback before the Elite Four showed up. Although reluctant, the Rocket triad decides to work together with their former enemies to defeat their common opponents. Sabrina uses the Spoons of Destiny to decide with pair would face which member of the Elite Four. Sabrina is paired up with Green, and the two head off to face Lorelei in battle.
As soon as they arrive to face their opponent, Lorelei binds the two together with her ice handcuffs. Due to their lack of proper teamwork, the battle was only made harder with Sabrina and Green bound together. Eventually, Green defeats Lorelei after revealing the arm that was bound to Sabrina's arm was actually her Ditty in disguise and uses it to tie the villain up. This angers Sabrina, who soon yells at Green for fooling her just like she did to Lorelei. With the battle over, Sabrina leaves Green to meet up with Giovanni, who had also come to help battle. Although she and Lt. Surge suggest restarting Team Rocket again, Giovanni tells the two to go home and continue tending to their Gyms.
The battle with Lorelei gave Sabrina severe frostbite injuries on her wrist. She managed to cure this by traveling to Mt. Silver and bathed in the hot springs found there. There, she encountered Red, who was there to cure his own frostbite injuries, and told him that something was going to happen at the Pokémon League. After leaving, Sabrina leaves Red a note telling him about another hot spring that can cure his frostbite much faster so that he can get to the Pokémon League quickly.
Afterward, she travels to the Pokémon League to have an exhibition match with the other Kanto Gym Leaders against the Johto Gym Leaders. Sabrina is paired up against Bugsy, whose attempts to befriend her end in vain. Despite the type disadvantage, Sabrina manages to defeat Bugsy with her Mr. Mime, who uses it abilities to create invisible walls to its advantage. When the Masked Man attacks the Pokémon League with his army of mind controlled Team Rocket Grunts, Sabrina assists her fellow Gym Leaders by battling the army. Once the battle had finally ended, Sabrina went back to usual Gym Leader duties.
Much later, Sabrina makes an appearance in the Black 2 & White 2 chapter. Here, she is revealed to have become an actress at Pokéstar Studios. When she notices Whitley having trouble picking a movie to act in, Sabrina has her Alakazam use its abilities to pick out a Brycen-Man movie for her.
This is a listing of Sabrina's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
| Drowzee was used to sneak up on Erika prior to the showdown in Saffron City. However, it was noticed by the Grass-type Gym Leader and was easily defeated by Erika's Vileplume's Petal Dance.
None of Drowzee's moves are known.
|Blame It on Eevee
Kadabra is Sabrina's mode of transportation and often carries her on his back. He was able to disguise himself as Professor Oak and presumably other people as well. During Sabrina's battle with Green, he is shown to be one of Sabrina's most powerful Pokémon with very strong moves.
| Mr. Mime was used by Sabrina to keep a massive Light Screen around Saffron City in order to keep intruders out. She fell to Red and Blue's teamwork in using Blue's Golduck to find her and Red's Pika to attack her. She was later used during the Gym Leader tournament, where she battled Bugsy's Scyther and defeated his Heracross.
Mr. Mime's known moves are Light Screen, Barrier, Confusion, Encore, and Psybeam, and her Ability is Filter.
|Peace of Mime
| Alakazam first appeared on Cerise Island, where she was used to hand out the Spoons of Destiny. Later, she helped battle against Lorelei's Ice-type Pokémon. She also made an appearance in the Black 2 & White 2 chapter, where she helped choose a movie for Whitley.
Alakazam's only known move is Psychic, and her Ability is Synchronize.
|Karate Machop!
| Venomoth was first used to battle Lorelei on Cerise Island. Due to Sabrina and Green's inability to work together, her moves were quickly blown away. Once Green was knocked unconscious, Sabrina was effectively able to knock out Lorelei's Cloyster with a repeated usage of Mega Drain. In the Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter, Venomoth was seen at the Mt. Silver hot springs and later appeared with Sabrina at the Pokémon League.
Venomoth's known moves are Sleep Powder and Mega Drain.
|Valiant Venomoth!
Moltres, having been captured near the Indigo Plateau, first appeared on Cinnabar Island, where it fought against Blaine and Red before being sent to Sabrina. During the battle between Red, Blue and Green and the Rocket Triad members Lt. Surge, Koga, and Sabrina, it was merged with Articuno and Zapdos to create Thu-Fi-Zer. Once it was beaten, the three birds separated and returned to the wild.
|Holy Moltres
Thu-Fi-Zer is the combined form of the three Legendary birds that came into being with the power of Red's Gym Badges. It fought against the three Pokédex holders of Kanto in the Silph Co. building before it was separated by Saur's SolarBeam, Blasty's Hydro Pump and Blue's Charizard's Flamethrower.

After defeating Giovanni with the taste of his own medicine, Sabrina gives the Marsh Badge to Satoshi and he heads on to the next town.

Sabrina appears as a Trainer figure in the Groundbreakers expansion pack of the Pokémon Trading Figure Game.
- Her Japanese Leader title is エスパー レディ.
- In the Generation I games, Sabrina, along with other Trainer classes, is seen with a whip. This is a leftover from the development of Pokémon Red and Green since Game Freak considered the idea of humans fighting against Pokémon themselves at one point, according to Ken Sugimori.[1]
- In Pokémon Red and Green, there is an oversight that causes the player to win against Sabrina even if they lose by returning to the Saffron Gym; this includes being registered as a winner and receiving the Marsh Badge and TM46. This error was fixed in Pokémon Blue and the international Pokémon Red and Blue.
- Sabrina is the first Gym Leader in the anime to receive a Pokémon from a main character. The second is Gardenia.
- Although Sabrina's official hair color is grayish-blue, there are many depictions of her with green, purple or black hair.
- Even though Sabrina isn't an Aura user, one of her quotes in FireRed and LeafGreen has her describing Psychic abilities in a manner similar to Aura's description.
- In Pokémon Red and Blue, she is the only Gym Leader who uses a Pokémon not of the type she specializes in during Gym battles.
- Sabrina uses a Venomoth on her team in all the games in which Koga does not use one on his team, and vice versa.
