Actually, it feels sort of strange to call Moss just an editor. The word seems rather old-fashioned and constraining for someone who presides over a growing content empire that encompasses print, digital, events, e-commerce and other revenue streams.
Yes, in 2017, New York, the print product, feels as vital as ever. And the Oct. 16 50th-anniversary issue, along with a just-published retrospective book, "Highbrow, Lowbrow, Brilliant, Despicable: 50 Years of New York," serve as vivid reminders of how essential the glossy has been not only to its hometown, but to American social, cultural, political and media history.
But New York Media, as the magazine's parent company is known, now has a revenue base that is 64 percent digital—and under CEO Pamela Wasserstein and Publisher Avi Zimak, digital ad revenue is on track to rise double digits by year end. The flagship NYMag.com website, and its sub-brands including Grub Street, The Cut and Vulture, draw a monthly audience of unique visitors that has grown to 20.6 million—up nearly 25 percent year-over-year. E-commerce revenue is on track for double-digit growth too. The Vulture Festival, born in New York four years ago, expanded to Los Angeles in November and drew A-list participants including Kerry Washington, Issa Rae and James Franco. And New York Media continues to form adventurous content alliances with brands such as Louis Vuitton, which backed Vulture's "How to Navigate an Art Fair With Jerry Saltz," and FreshDirect, sponsor of "Bittman's Kitchen," starring food writer and cookbook author Mark Bittman, who joined Grub Street as a columnist in June.
Bittman's addition to the team—along with this year's other high-profile hires, including Olivia Nuzzi as Washington correspondent and Fritzie Andrade as director of video—underscores the extent to which New York magazine is a white-hot media shop. Of course, the magazine, founded in 1968 by Milton Glaser and Clay Felker, has historically been home to a dazzling array of reporters and writers, including Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin and Nora Ephron. But such is Moss' personal stature that the chance to work in his orbit is its own talent magnet.
We'll note here that Brooklyn-born, 60-year-old Moss, who also had celebrated stints at other publications including The New York Times Magazine, Esquire and a short-lived but influential start-up in the late '80s called 7 Days, is pretty much the opposite of what you might expect of a media-world legend. He's gracious, unassuming and quick to laugh.
You can experience his lack of traditional media-grandee bluster via the latest edition of Ad Lib, the weekly podcast hosted by Ad Age Editor Brian Braiker. Here, a small sampling of their conversation:
Let's talk about how your job has transformed in the time that you've been at the magazine. How much editing do you actually do?
Oh my God. [laughter] Uh, well, what constitutes editing is now completely different than it used to be. It used to be you actually worked hard on a given story. I seldom have time to do that anymore. A lot of it is sort of managing the whole shebang and ... having hugely talented, capable people do most of the actual editing.
If you were to start a magazine from scratch today, (a) Would you? and (b) What would it be?
Oh man, I don't know. You know, I'm in a privileged position where I can basically play out my idiotic ideas on the magazine that I do edit. ... The internet has exploded the potential audience for your material. So it still feels like an alive and powerful medium, and the medium itself is morphing, so it's creatively challenging and interesting. I think this is a great time for magazines.

text: Hey everybody. I've been searching the forums and only seen a couple things relating to this. I got my MBP (Early 08; trying to save some cash) from Amazon less than two weeks ago. The other day I noticed a sizable scratch in the middle of the screen, equal to where the spacebar or top of the trackpad is when the lid is closed. It's probably a couple inches wide. It's WAY to straight to even be considered that I somehow did it. Since day 1 I've babied it, and I have it inside a Booq Vyper case (a semi-hard case, if you don't know) and then inside another bag, so it's very well protected. While some may say it's cosmetic, I do motion graphic design, and a lot of precision work, so I'm looking at a lot of detail close-up and it's not like it's hidden down in a corner. Here's the question: any chance AppleCare will take care of this? And the other question: can this be in any way considered user-created and then not be eligible for extended AppleCare? I think I'll just set up an appointment at the genius bar, but thought I'd try to get some opinions from you good people here. I'm hoping they can just do some kind of quick-fix, like replacing the screen cover. Is that even possible? Thanks for your help!

Let me introduce myself. I'm Deb Black, a veteran elementary special education teacher. I've had many roles in my teaching career, from having a classroom of students from K -6 with multi-disabilities who were considered part-time due to being in the classroom much of the school day, to being what I am currently, an itinerant learning support teacher who instructs small groups or one-on-one to students who are mostly learning disabled or in tier three RTII intervention groups. I'm also an inclusive co-teacher. This coming year, I'm even going to travel between two buildings. I consider teaching a professional adventure. The students are the best part! They make the adventure exciting, interesting and add spark to my life. The paperwork and data collection is the grueling part which I wish didn't exist.
I love learning, which is why I'm in the Instructional Media Masters program at Wilkes University. Searching for new ideas and helping people as a resource person motivates me to continue my adventure.
Personally, I have two sons who are following their dreams. Both have graduated from universities. One is an environmental/marine manager with NOAA. The other is a growing media artist. Both live far from home and are truly missed, but my husband and I are very proud of them and glad that they are happy! The oldest just got married in California, my first trip to the Pacific. Now my house has three cats to entertain me, along with my husband!

The Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment is a first step toward coordinated Countywide efforts to build a prepared and stronger community to rising seas and changing climate. In March 2018, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and directed staff to continue to assist the County and cities in preparing for the impacts of sea level rise, and to better understand and evaluate risks from other climate change impacts, including heat, wildfires, changing precipitation patterns and severe storm events.
Developing and implementing a climate change preparedness strategy for our County will require collaboration. No single entity can effectively tackle the significant impacts of climate change, but if we are better informed and continue working together, San Mateo County will be better prepared for the impacts of climate change.
Based on feedback from Sea Change SMC stakeholders, the County developed the following next steps, which together form the Climate Change Preparedness Action Plan. Next steps will include continued work on the Climate Change Preparedness Action Plan in partnership with cities and community stakeholders to facilitate planning and adaptation for sea level rise and other climate change impacts. The Climate Change Preparedness Action Plan includes three key phases: 1) Assessment, 2) Planning, and 3) Engagement and Implementation.
A key immediate step will be to launch a Climate Change Collaborative of local government staff, elected officials and community stakeholders. The Collaborative will help refine and finalize the Climate Preparedness Action Plan and develop a process for working together on next steps.

On the threshold of something new?
I wrote a book called Threshold Shift and sent it out into the wild of Amazon Kindle. What I realised was that the wild is a dangerous place where my book is unlikely to find sustenance among so many others. Why, it is unlikely to even be noticed among all the competing predators out there.
What it needs is that secret something to get noticed. But what is that secret something I ask you? Is it pay per click advertising? Kindle select? A news story? A poster in the local library? A free offer? A review in a big sf magazine? A posting on hundreds of forums?
I don't know yet. I definitely want to find out. But I'll start with a few sales and hopefully a few reviews, and take it from there.

The Confessions of an Intimate Someone
I didn't grow up among books. Though we had quite a few photographs on our walls, I didn't have paintings to gaze at or tear apart. Postcards that my uncle brought from foreign trips were a collectible, and I spent many years gazing at maps and imagining places, and watching travel and living, that one day I realized I could smell countries at the different corners of my house, and conjure architecture at the colours that hit my eye every once in a while. My sense of deja vu developed later, that I stopped between morsels and found myself among foreigners I knew from last birth, eating cheesy pizza, sipping sherry or any drink that glistened, and discussing cruises on the Mediterranean, wiping my lips on the napkin every once in a while.
Since I didn't grow up among books, I didn't get to flip them, nor fling them, nor step on them in disgust, nor rip them apart in frustration. All I could do was to hold them in clean right angels, never to injure its spine, face west, pray, and turn one page to the next in humility, overwhelmed at the printed dots, mystified at the apparent errors which never could be. Dog ears hurt behind my ears; unknown words, my eyes, brain and optimism.
Hence, when I learnt of the country in which everyone was lazy, and of the treasure hidden by the King himself beneath the rock causing traffic jams, and of the diligent one who moved the rock away and thereby won the treasure, I started searching for the King, and I found him everywhere. I found him in the Village Officer who wanted me to stand in a corner of his office and wait there for full fifty three minutes before he could issue me a Nativity Certificate; I saw a king in our Headmaster who found memory loss a crime than a health issue; I also found a king in the bus conductor who wouldn't let a student sit for he is paying concession rates. I also thought I saw a rock while they smirked, they giggled, they rounded their mouths in derision. It took me years and plenty of education (and I only found professional courses worthy enough to be called that name) to understand that beneath the rock was no treasure. But habits die slow, and each time I find myself in a government office, from hospital to electricity board to welfare board, I don't know how, but my spine bends, my lips dry, my voice lowers, and Sir's deluge docility.
And then I marry according to my Dad's wishes, and then I procreate after I get tired of condoms and my wife of relatives' questions, and then I age, and then I die. But before I die, I make a confession, of all revolutions that might have been possible.

Every year I highlight 5 albums that didn't end up on any critic's top ten lists. That's slightly misleading; I survey this Metacritic collection of lists, and if the album doesn't appear on 3 or more lists, it gets considered for this post. If it's a Christian album, I just search the usual way (read: Google) through some of the main Christian music publications. If I missed a list, it's okay; no one's life is over.
The Brilliance, All Is Not Lost: There have been several artists in Christian music history that have bucked (or set) the industry's trends, but there are few today outside of hip-hop. The Brilliance have some of the kitchen-sink creativity that most recently blessed Gungor before that band veered into emergent-church territory. This makes sense, since one of The Brilliance's primary members is David Gungor, the brother of Gungor's Michael. But where Michael's band has taken a decidedly meditative tack, David's has set his rudder directly toward celebration. Beautifully synthesizing several genres, The Brilliance overcome worship music tropes, celebrating a God for everybody with music for everybody.
Caroline Spence, Spades & Roses: I understand Margo Price receiving all of 2017's allotted attention for female off-the-beaten-path Nashvillians, because Price is brilliant. But now that 2017 is over, please turn your attention to its forgotten folk artist, Caroline Spence. Her 2015 album Somehow won me over with its plain-spoken heartbreak spiked with hard liquor. Spades & Roses is like Somehow, but with more liquor. This is best exemplified on standout track, "All the Beds I've Made," in which beds and all their accoutrement become a metaphor not for love, but for the hope that this one will make you forget the rest.
David Ramirez, We're Not Going Anywhere: I wrote about this album not 6 weeks ago, and I'm still on a high for the response it got. Ramirez himself retweeted the post and said it was "one of [his] favorite reviews for the new album," and I could have cried. You write about an album you love and you hope someone reads it. You never expect the artist to read it and, much less, appreciate it. Ultimately, I just want this album to get attention, because it's a devastatingly good folk album from one of Austin's best resident musicians.
Hiss Golden Messenger, Hallelujah Anyhow: You'll be forgiven if you're not into Americana and haven't heard of Hiss Golden Messenger, the Carolina-based outfit from the prolific M.C. Taylor. You'll also be forgiven if you are into Americana and can't remember which album of his is which. But holding this against him is like complaining that Cary Grant plays the same character in every movie- he does what he's good at, and he's the best at it. Taylor has a tried and true sound, a mélange of soul and backwoods blues befitting his scruffy look and family life. What makes Hallelujah Anyhow special in light of the rest of his discography is an unabashed celebration of life in the face of life's mundanity.
Joan Shelley, Joan Shelley: Another Americana artist on this list, yes, but Shelley is quite unlike any other Americana artist we are familiar with. That's partly because she doesn't even consider herself an Americana musician, but mostly because she's a singular artist. Her first few albums trafficked in Appalachian folk music, but Joan Shelley is a slight change in direction for the Kentucky artist. Her transfixing voice is still the focal point here, but she's less reliant on her usual guitarists to give her voice its home. Instead, she travels outside her comfort zone to songs with barely any production at all, and more of a reliance on plinking keys rather than plucking strings, and her music has broadened with her world.

Barnsley's upcoming play-off semi-final clashes with Walsall will be the biggest of Paul Heckingbottom's fledgling managerial career.
The caretaker Reds boss masterminded the club's first taste of silverware in over 100 years when they lifted the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at Wembley last month.
He stepped up to take the reigns when Lee Johnson left for Bristol City in February, and a seamless transition saw the team's rise up the League One table continue.
Heckingbottom, 38, is in his second stint as temporary chief, and knows that a return to the Championship is the ultimate prize for his hometown club.
"I didn't play the JPT down because I loved it to bits," said the former Development Squad Manager. "It's our first bit of silverware for 100 years but these games are actually bigger.
"In terms of the prize for the players' careers and the prize for the football club, these upcoming games now are even bigger but we knew that.
"A lot of people can be proud of the work they've put in and what they've achieved. We always said 'let's be in it in the last game of the season' and we were. That's always been our goal and luckily enough we managed to fulfil it.
"That's one box ticked, we've got another one to try and cross, and then on to a final so we've got a big hurdle in front of us in Walsall.
"They finished third and they've been up there all season so we know the job in hand, but again we'll approach it the same way we have been doing."
The Reds have a home tie on Saturday to kick off the two-legged semi-final against the Saddlers, before travelling to the Banks's Stadium five days later for the return fixture.
Heckingbottom's men have played a total of 56 games so far this season, but he says they will be doing all they can to keep the players in prime condition for one last push.
"There'll be a few tired limbs and a few tired bodies," he added. "We've just got over that hectic period and now we're coming into a new one."

Safe deposit boxes give a way for individuals to keep belongings safe but out of the house and less vulnerable to theft. http://9i9.eu/2p Articles of Safe First deposit Boxes are NOT FDIC insured.
Do not put your original will in a safe deposit box if you are the only owner (a copy is fine). You It's the depository safe that provides the people with such a comfort. It really is refunded when the tips of the safe deposit box are returned. The quantities are too small to aid any assured generalization, but it is interesting to see how widely dispersed security deposit box was by 1907, given that the commercial centre of the United States (NY) showed a solid preference for safe deposit box.
Together with the depository safe a person can ensure that his items are from the reach of the common people. Safe Deposit Package rentals range from $45 to $425 yearly plus suitable taxes. To consumers, safe deposit bins are a throwback to the times when documents couldn't be listed electronically and folks invested their savings in physical resources alternatively than property or intangible stocks.
The only illustration that I know of when a court order isn't needed to open a safe deposit box is good for probate purposes in certain states. For instance, London-based Metropolitan Safe Debris rents boxes for 12-month periods at the same time. A safety deposit box serves several functions - particularly maintaining your important documents or other items in a secure, off-site location.
At the same time it is very important for the individual to realize the importance of making certain this safety of the person is of perfect importance. Mr B deposited a locked field in safe custody at one of the firm's branches. They're safe first deposit boxes: small vaults you can rent to store rings, family heirlooms, documents and other activities you care about.

Those who have been at Hugh B. Bain Middle School over the years have fond memories of the annual Holiday Shops that have taken place inside the school. The Holiday Shop gives students an opportunity to browse for a gift for a special someone and to take it home wrapped and ready to go in time for the holidays.
After a year off last year, the Bain Holiday Shop was revived this year, bigger and better than ever, thanks to the combined efforts and dedication of the school faculty and staff. Faculty member Holly Scripsack spearheaded the efforts.
"Holly Scripsack approached me earlier in the school year and asked if this was something she could do," said Principal Jeffrey Taylor. "I was so happy to be able to say yes and to have her bring it back this year."
To make the shop possible, the school faculty and staff, along with community partners, including the Cranston Teachers' Alliance, donated all of the gifts, some of which were handmade. There were enough gifts that the more than 600 students at the school would each be able to shop for one, free of charge. The school staff also donated the wrapping products as well as their own time spent wrapping for the students. Students at Cranston High School East also used some of their own time, volunteering to help out at the shop or with the wrapping. Many of them were formerly Bain students themselves, and had participated in past years' Holiday Shop events.
The shop was set up for the three-day duration in the faculty lounge at the school where teachers normally would be eating their lunches. Fabric table cloths and table runners draped each of the half-dozen tables where the gifts were all spread out on display, soft music played in the background, and staff members quietly circulated through the room as the students moved from table to table, picking out a gift.
Scripsack made sure to hold back items from day to day, restocking the tables so that each day's shoppers would be getting equal opportunity to choose from a fully stocked shop. All gifts were free of charge to the students and the gift-wrapping services were provided as well.
"I have seen students coming down the hallways beaming, they're so happy," said Taylor. "One student said to me, 'This is for my mom,' and he was so happy. For me, this is what it's all about."
Scripsack agreed.
"This has been very heartwarming for me to watch," said Scripsack. "It's been very uplifting, especially at this time of year, seeing everyone come together. It's been very special and I'm so glad that I've been able to be involved."
The shop was kept a secret for families, with announcements and notifications being made during the school day and on Bain TV only, in the hopes that gift recipients will be fully surprised upon seeing their gifts.
"You know, we're always talking about educating a child and how we need to know their families, their parents, we need to form partnerships, to get families into the school, but this is a two-way street," said Taylor. "This is how Bain gives back to Bain."

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'circuit board' tag.
Ril3y left a comment on the Lincoln PCB with a few other artistic boards.
Not really a "circuit" but it was an attempt at how cool I could get a pcb. Next is to bake in a circuit next time. I try to use copper to do quite a bit of the words needed too!
Great art! Thanks for the tip!
We enjoyed this (sponsored) segment from Make about etching circuit boards. Like Collin, we got our start etching boards we found on the web, at first with toner transfer and later UV photo masking. We didn't know how the circuits worked, but it was still exciting to build something cool.
Our current method for single-sided prototype boards is about the same as in the video, but we use inkjet masks. Usually a mix of all ink colors, often called high quality black, has better UV resistance than black ink alone. We expose the board for 1 minute and 28 seconds under a tanning lamp from a thrift shop.

Arsonists set fire to a former dance studio in Lancaster.
Between 3.15pm and 3.30pm on Thursday, October 29, a large fire started inside The Dance Studio in Lodge Street.
The incident caused substantial damage with several fire crews called to put out the blaze.
Police believe the fire was started deliberately and are asking for witnesses to come forward following the incident.
PC Hannah Brew of Lancaster Police said: "One witness has seen a group of around six youths aged between 14 to 16-years-old running from the area but we currently have no CCTV to support this so do not know whether they were involved or not.
"There were however a lot of people in the area at the time who may have witnessed something."
Anyone with information can contact police on 101 quoting crime reference number WB1508843.
Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at Crimestoppers-uk.org.

The texture of this is something I really didn't expect, it looks like these were made with a paint brush to me. There aren't any special effects applied, even the LR Clarity slider is on the positive side of zero (that is making more clarity, less fuzziness). I was inspired to try this by a picture that appeared on Juha's Light Scrape blog last week. I think it had been on my list of things to try for some time before that.
Forest Impressions I

Forest Impressions II

I'm looking forward to applying this technique to some other scenes, I'd like to try something horizontal, or even a swirl. These were with 1/10 and 1/8 second exposures, respectively, I want to play around with that to see what else is possible. Should be fun, it's a really great way to get some smooth colors.
I also found out that this is called 'pan blur'.

Five Best Kitchen Ranges
Without doubt, kitchen ranges make a kitchen. They're the heart of the room, if not the home. A good quality range cooker will improve the kitchen appeal, help create and deliver wonderful home cooked food and some of the bigger models are incredibly versatile.
You can choose from among gar range cookers, small and large, or ones that are powered by electric. Modern technology just gets better and better and an electric model can perform just as well as a gas range can.
Any kitchen that house a beautiful stainless steel gas range always has an added feeling of warmth and, in many ways there a family investment. The five best models are feature below, according to their class, popularity and type.
Electrolux : EW30EF65GS 30in Electric Range Stainless Steel
This is a fabulous example of what an electric kitchen range cooker should both look like and do and it's worth every cent. It's almost a dream machine - elegant, stylish and the temperature control is nothing short of outstanding. The exterior is stainless steel and black, always sure to deliver a good looking appliance and the interior is a surprising blue - which adds to its aesthetic appeal by the bucket load.
The warmer drawer works a treat, the glide rack works eaxactly as advertized and it's super efficient to run. The oven heat is constant, it doesn't alter unless you want it to and the results are evenly cooked dishes - fab for baking and desserts. It's got light where you need it, a great easy to use temperature control panel and the burners heat up as fast as a gas ring. Simply awesome - the type of range that every home should have.
Bertazzoni : Professional X304GGVXLPG 30in Pro-Style Gas Range
This is the best professional gas kitchen range and it is, in a word - stunning. Engineered to a very high standard and designed around the needs of a pro cook, this one has it all. The worktop has four burners and the grates are cast iron - built to last a lifetime. The dual valve control controls the triple-ring power burner which is an awesome addition that can throw out some serious heat yet be lowered to simmer level in a hot second.
The oven delivers a regular heating level and though not the biggest in terms of size, it's more than adequate for those with a small to medium sized family. It looks beautiful, it works exactly as you'd expect a professional range to work and it's worth every last cent.
DCS : RDT305SSN 30in Pro-Style Dual Fuel Range, Self-Clean, Convection - Natural Gas
This is the best selling, top of the range convection oven kitchen range. It's dual fuel,the five burners being gas, the oven electric. The oven is a self-cleaner, which is always an attractive feature and the oven top is easy to clean and maintain. Pans are safe and easy to remove, due to the roller rack system and the grates are heavy duty and stable.
The oven is large and pretty roomy and and every one of the burners will drop down to a simmer. The large central fifth burner is fantastic for making paella on or for any dish that requires a large stock pot or saucepan and the quality of its design and engineering is evident wherever you look. Robust, heavy weight and heavy duty, a beautiful range.
Second, it has a very large convection oven
Frigidaire Gallery : FPGS3085KF 30in Gas Range - Stainless Steel
This is the best of the slide-in kitchen ranges and it's Star-K Certified and ADA compliant. It's another dual fuel, an electrical convection oven with gas burners. It's stainless steel, with complimentary black cast iron grates that are continuous across the oven top and the inner racks are the easy-side effortless type.
The select controls are a breeze to operate and it has a nahdy lttle feature that allows you to cook great pizzas and chicken nuggets to perfection. There's also a keep-warm facility, the warming drawer being one of many kitchen ranges more useful aspects. This is a range stove, packed with features despite its lower than average price tag - waht more can I say other than - buy it.
Maytag Gemini Series : MGR6875ADS 30in Freestanding Gas Double Oven Range - Stainless Steel
The Maytag is the best of the double oven kitchen range cooker models and will more than suit those that like the use of a separate half oven when cooking up a storm. It's a four burner, one of which is a super powerful 16,000-BTU - that's an awesome amount of heat and comparable with what you'd find on ranges double the cost of this one.
One of its best features as a kitchen appliance is the double oven feature. The top one is large enough to broil and pot roast in without having to bend your back. The lower oven will happily cope with the Christmas and Thanksgiving turkey, plus on a really busy day - you can run both without a loss of power. There are also three heavy duty oven racks, as well as an interior light, easy side temperature control and a food warmer that will stop food spoiling when some one's behind schedule. A fantastic value for money, low priced kitchen gas range.

Bill Would Require Presidents to Review Misconduct Claims
Bipartisan legislation announced Thursday in the U.S. Senate would require college leaders -- and at least one member of the institution's governing board -- to personally review all sexual misconduct claims involving university employees reported within a calendar year.
Colleges and universities would be required to submit annual certification affirming that those reviews had taken place and that top college officials hadn't improperly influenced any ongoing investigations.
The bill is backed by Senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow, both Michigan Democrats, as well as Senator John Cornyn, the Texas Republican who is the second-highest-ranking GOP senator. Senators said the legislation, dubbed the ALERT Act, was a response to the uncovering of abuses by Larry Nassar, the former Olympics gymnastics doctor and faculty member at Michigan State University, and Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant football coach at Pennsylvania State University.
"Our colleges and universities must do more to protect the safety of our children, and we must hold them accountable when they fail," Peters said in a written statement. "Too many young people have suffered appalling harm from abusers who should have been stopped by university officials. I'm introducing this legislation to ensure that 'I didn't know' will never again be an excuse for permitting monstrous abuse to continue under the watch of the officials we trust to look after our children."

Complete Smaug the Dragon Revealed by Air New Zealand
video from Air New Zealand (below), we now have a look at the complete dragon as he was installed on one of their Boeing 777-300ER. The 177 feet long image, according to Weta Digital Visual Effects Eric Saindon, "Capturing Smaug's presence and the amazing detail in his design while accommodating the windows, doors and wing shape was quite a different experience for us. It was great to see Smaug brought to life, and he appears even larger in the film!"

Amazon's Kindle Press choose TIME RATS 1
I'll be a hybrid author! And Amazon is the only publisher about whom I feel enthusiastic. I'm as pleased as Punch and Judy, as the offspring used to say.
It's difficult to predict which books on the KS site will be selected; of the five I've nominated so far, only one has been chosen. That was The Girl who Heard Demons, by Janette Rallison, which I thought was a shoo-in.
My estimation of my chances fluctuated wildly during the thirty-two day wait. No one knows the precise criteria for selection, beyond the books being proofread to a publishable, or near-publishable standard. (Near-publishable, since Amazon editors check the text and make suggestions if necessary.) A look at the list Published by Kindle Press on the Kindle Scout site suggests the books have to be competently written. A good cover helps. Many of the chosen authors have already published several books.
But any selection process has an element of personal taste to it. Last Friday afternoon I was judging the modellers' section for the Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Council. There were three judges, and we all agreed almost without discussion on the worst entries to be immediately discarded, and the excellent entries to be considered for awards. Only when it came to awarding gold, silver and bronze was there a mild disagreement over which was the best; and I think this came down to a matter of personal taste.
It gives a sense of perspective, to be judging one day, and judged the next.
Did I mention how pleased I am? I am very, very pleased. Dancing about pleased.

Well done Lexi ..... so there really is some justice in the publishing universe!!ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to my free copy for nominating Time Rats :)
I think it's just Amazon's corner of the publishing universe that has some justice :o)ReplyDelete
Kindle Press tends to be quick getting books out - maybe a couple of months. Thanks for nominating, Q.
Many congratulations, Lexi.ReplyDelete
Thank you both. Everyone is being very kind, and I do appreciate it :o)ReplyDelete
I am so pleased for you and it's very well-deserved. I can't wait to read the whole book.ReplyDelete
Well done, Lexi. I'm just coming to the end of the first draft of my sequel to The Rubicon and might submit it to Kindle Scout when it's a bit more polished. Looking forward to reading Time Rats when it's available. I loved the bit I read.ReplyDelete
FH, Kindle Press is pretty quick getting books out. It shouldn't be long :o)ReplyDelete
Suzanne, I would say KS is worth doing as long as you don't set your heart on it too much, as we don't know exactly what sort of book they are looking for. While it's not possible to dodge the disappointment if not chosen, I think KS may be one of those few cases where it's NOT a good idea to commit to the move.
Great news for you, and I was very pleased when I got the email from Amazon that Time Rats 1 had been selected and I would get a free copy.ReplyDelete
I love your books so much I would have paid!
Ice Diaries is the only book I have ever managed to leave a comment on Amazon!Replies
Thanks for nominating Time Rats 1, Coral :o) I think Amazon's idea is that voters who get a free early copy will write a review if they enjoy the book, and create a buzz for the launch. (Of course, if readers don't like it, one can only hope they skulk silently away...)Delete

Mortgage Bonds Keep Climbing, But Lag Behind U.S. Treasurys
Mortgage-backed securities closed higher Monday, boosted by strength in U.S. Treasurys.
Yield spreads between mortgages and Treasurys widened slightly as mortgage-backeds lagged behind in their upward climb. The yield spread is the difference in the yield of a given debt instrument and that of a similar-term Treasury issue, with a widening of the spread suggesting an increased perception of risk.

26 Baldota House, Bhandarkar Road. 2402 6021.
This farsan store sells sweets like Mysore pak, boondi ladoo and wheat halwa, snacks like chakli and chivda and also pickles, pulses, spices, jaggery, sambhar powder, Madras rasam powder and molaga podi (a kind of dry chutney powder eaten with idlis and other South Indian fare). They also sell their own brand of ghee.
B. Shree Sunders
Near the exit of Matunga station, Bhandarkar Road. 2416 9216.
This South Indian restaurant is best known for its curd-rice, pesarattu (a moong dal dosa stuffed with chopped onions), nachini dosa and idlis. Their idlis are made with hand-ground rice, which makes them fluffier than those served at most other establishments, where they are made with rava. Shree Sunders also serves a mean pav bhaji dosa.
C. Ram Ashray
Near Matunga station, Lakhamsi Nappu Road. 2414 2623.
A large variety of dosas, uttapams and wadas. Their upma comes highly recommended and they are happy to replenish your chutney and sambhar at no extra cost.

You can choose to eat your meal on a banana leaf or on a plate. A sign in the restaurant urges you towards the former; "Try eating in leaf in Indian way, without spoon", it reads. The advantage: unlike the plate section, in the banana leaf section, you get unlimited servings of each item.

Venkateshwaran Iyer and Smt. Ananthu Ammal expired due to the epidemic attack of small pox in the early childhood of Sri. V.S. Mani Iyer. While on their last breath though they much desired to at least have vision of their children, the villagers refused as they feared the epidemic deadly decease might spread to others. Then he requested to give a slate and pencil to note down his last desire addressed to their only daughter, Smt. Lakshmi Ammal. He expressed his bereave to leave, all their children alone like orphan and requested Smt. Lakshmi Ammal, to take better care of her brothers. Smt. Lakshmi Ammal along with her husband Sri. Ranganatha Iyer was really worthy to the words and maintained the whole family with great care and affection. But they have also their own difficulties. The main source of their income was the meager amount received by Sri. Ranganatha Iyer the only bread winner by way of cooking to household function and ceremonies. By appreciating the situation on by one all the children left their homes in their early childhood in search of livelihood. Sri. V.S. Mani Iyer like that of his other brothers left his home town Palakkad in his early childhood. He moved from one place to another and traveled almost all parts of India and served with various dignitaries in their home kitchen. And finally came to Mumbai and settled with his own venture in the field of catering by 1920's. With his sound skills and vast experience could easily give a very good introduction to Mumbaikars exemplary exquisite South Indian delicious delicacies. He himself as a born cook, cooked himself, served and delivered at houses & offices, in bicycle.

Welcome to Week 4
The problem:
You are always trying to organize events/meetings and are fed up of dealing with group e-mails and constant rearrangement of times.
The problem-solver:
Doodle is a simple, free way to schedule any event which includes several people. There is no registration required and the basic idea is that you set up an 'event' and input several days and times that are suitable. You then invite all attendees to go to a webpage and view the suggested times. They tick which they are able to attend, and by the end you should be able to see which time most people can make.
How to use:
1. Go to http://www.doodle.com/.
2. Click on the 'Schedule an Event' button.
3. Follow instructions for Steps 1-4 each time clicking 'next' to get to the next page.
- At Step 1, you come up with a title for your event and, if you want, add a location, which is automatically linked to Google maps to show your participants where the even will be.
- At Step 2, you decide on the dates that you are free and the time slots within each date that you are free and add them in the chart. If you want more time choices then you can add these at the bottom.
- At Step 3 you can change the settings and allow participants only to give one answer or to answer yes, no, or maybe etc.
- At Step 4 you need to decide whether you want to send an email to your colleagues/friends yourself or whether you want Doodle to do this. I tend to send the link myself but it is up to you!
4. If you have chosen to send the poll out yourself then check your e-mails from Doodle and follow the clear instructions in them.
5. Send the link out and wait for responses. Doodle will send you an e-mail every time someone votes.
6. You should get something like this in the end with a running total along the bottom to indicate when the most popular times are.

By now you've read or heard that, amid industry skepticism, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar yesterday lifted the Obama administration's moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. At the very least, there remain lots of zigs and zags that producers like Chevron
The moratorium on drilling in water depths exceeding 500 feet was instituted following an April explosion and fire aboard Transocean's
As Salazar said in a news conference, "The policy position that we are articulating today is that we are open for business." But that hardly means that an armada of deepwater rigs will be digging for oil by week's end, or perhaps even prior to the end of 2010.
Before drillers and their Big Oil customers can plunge into the deep at full bore, they must conform to a host of new federal rules -- with additions on the way. Included will be the requirement that the operator's CEO must certify compliance with all regulations. And independent engineers must inspect and certify each well's blowout preventer and cementing standards. I've mentioned it before, but I think as makers of blowout preventers, Cameron
So you'd think there might have been dancing in the streets of New Orleans and other places affected by the drilling stoppage. And there might have been among the up to 12,000 workers estimated to have watched their jobs evaporate -- at least temporarily -- during the stoppage. But there is also is a drillship full of concern about what the removal of the deepwater halt really means for the industry.
Indeed, companies have experienced a severe slowdown in the permitting process in the shallow water in the face of the moratorium that was technically limited to depths deeper than 500 feet. And as Todd Hornbeck, CEO of Hornbeck Offshore Services
Nevertheless, the road to normalcy in the Gulf apparently has at begun. And moratorium or not, Fools would be well advised to closely watch the Gulfs future developments in regards to the changing global energy picture.

Tonight finds me in Clearwater, MN. It has been an interesting and difficult couple of days of driving. Ice, snow, and roads closed down due to weather. Many bowls have been smoked while plugging along, sometimes at 15mph while trying to not run over the "four wheelers" who seem intent on getting themselves run over. Today I passed many four wheelers in the ditches and in the median. Oddly enough, but not surprisingly, every single one of them were four wheel drive vehicles. Those folks buy those vehicles and think they can drive at highway speeds on ice. Doesn't work. I am five miles from my delivery and securely parked for the night, watching it snow. I had a good dinner, a couple of beers in the truck stop pub, some conversation with fellow drivers and a couple of young ladies, and am now ready to hit the sack for the night once I finish this bowl of Frog Morton. All in all it was a successful if somewhat stressful day.
Oh yeah, this is my current desktop wallpaper image. There is just something about it that really appeals to me.
I missed your writings (will try to catch up today), as the holidays kept me busy. I hope you had a great Christmas and this year is a lot better than the last!
Oh, and interesting desktop!
Thanks, the holidays can keep a family man quite busy.

Good sleep, good wakeup. Really noticed how much I was dragging today - Lydia mentioned that maybe it was a Monday thing, and that maybe it was easier to NOT have a break on the weekends for some things. I definitely feel that having weekends helped me from exhaustion before…maybe it's a questions of certain habits.
