Location: WA State/U.S.A.
Age: Too old to say.
Question: How long have you been writing?
All my life – literally for as long as I can remember. I was given an old script type-writer (an antique even then!) at about age 7. I quickly took to typing after being shown "home," position – and loved to fill all that white space with that beautiful script! No poem, Hallmark card, or church hymnal from my grandmother's piano was safe from my innocent plagiarism! I typed so many favorite verses, poetry and inspiring thoughts I came across. Of course, I am just old enough that this was in a pre-digital world, when copying was far less available, and more of an elite technology. I copy-typed my heart out and put the pages in special home-made poetry and music journals– and imagined I was saving all those beautiful words for something special, and important. Though I didn't know what! J
I wrote my first 300 page "novel," by the third grade. (Thank you Mrs. West, my teacher, for all her "critiquing," and encouragement!) The biggest game changer for me was a school writing competition I won in the 4th grade – where, as a result of my writing being chosen out of all the others – I was sent as an Ambassador to represent my school at the Young Writer's Conference. That was a defining experience – especially for a shy girl who had changed schools many times by then…
Question: What was the first publishing experience you had, and when?
In the May, 2014, issue of Foster Focus magazine, my narrative poem, "Open Window", was given a six page layout in celebration of the much celebrated Foster Care Month – at least in the foster care world. It was an unexpected and humbling honor – as I had submitted the poem months earlier. It was so lovely to see this tender, poetic story in print. I had much hope that it resonated with others in the deeper way which only poetry can do – and in the very least, validated their experiences in the composite story of the poem.
Question: Tell our readers about your first book. (For example: What was your inspiration for writing it, and what was it about)?
My first self-published inspirational book is going to be "Paths of Friendship", and it's the debut title in a series I am so thrilled about! The Pebbled Lane Series is the brain, or rather heart-child of a prolific writer who has always loved to write about the seasons and holidays, in poetry and prose. I love to write when the larger cultural mood is striking, contagious, and heartfelt; to capture those sentiments of the individual experience in real-time.
On top of that – Pebbled Lane Books are givers on three fronts: either by helping authors have a real publishing opportunity. And yes, (quality) self-publishing is a REAL publishing opportunity, no matter how much the traditional, corporate publishing market wants to deny the reality of Indie's growing, and likely soon to be dominant share of the pie.
The second way that Pebbled Lane is a giving project is that several titles in the series are giving at least a portion, if not all the proceeds to a worthy, heartfelt Cause.
Last, but not least – Pebbled Lane Books' ultimate purpose is to offer something memorable, inspiring and positive to a readership who appreciates a good, clean, engaging and enjoyable read.
"Paths of Friendship", the first book in the anthology series, will be released on December 1, 2015! It is appropriately, a Cause Book, for a dear, young and close friend (of my daughter's) who has been suddenly and unexpectedly taken quite ill, with a serious, long-term illness.
Question: What are some of the titles in your series?
Some of the titles in the Pebbled Lane Series include, "Paths of Fear", "Paths of Gratitude", & "Paths of Resolutions", and there are many more in this inspirational series.
Last question, if someone comes across this article and reads it, what would you like to tell them about why you think they should try reading your book or books?
Connie Kerbs aka The Fostering Mom, writes to inspire, and engage at many levels. I put my best foot forward, as an artisan of the writing craft, as a contributor to the literary landscape, and as a person. I surround myself with others who believe the same – to create the unique, the good, and the beautiful, and what I very much hope will be enduring, meaningful work you won't want to miss.
For me, it's all about what I call "living the gratitude," – and understanding that whatever you put out there comes back to you many times over. So, best make the ripple be of good things…
Anything else you'd like to add that I didn't ask you, but you would like to share with our readers?
Just my favorite quote from Mother Theresa:
"We can't all do great things, but we can do small things with great love." This is good advice – for so many facets of life. It's gotten me through many challenges as a foster parent, as the mother of a large, (sometimes larger than others!) family, as a wife, daughter, employee, and friend. As a writer, it's also a reminder to just give and do, and be our best – in the small, singular moments that life is really made of. In this way also – the true riches of life experience are magnified, and so much more deeply appreciated.

Parents of 2-year-old boy buried under bridge plead guilty
GRETNA, La. – The parents of a toddler who was found buried in a garbage bag under a Louisiana bridge have pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice.
After Thursday's plea, State District Judge Raymond Steib Jr. sentenced Gabrielle Whittington and Onterio Thompson, both 22, to five years in prison — three of those suspended — and three years of probation.
NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reports (http://bit.ly/2mcrrdA ) the couple was originally arrested on the obstruction charge and unlawful disposal of human remains after Thompson led investigators to a shallow grave where 2-year-old Timothy Thompson was found in July. The latter charge was dropped.
The coroner's office determined the child's death to be a homicide, but the cause of death remains undetermined. Whittington and Thompson have not been charged with murder, though prosecutors say they're continuing an investigation.

Air travel sucks. Sure, the very idea that we can travel from the East Coast to the West in under six hours is amazing, considering that a couple of centuries ago it would take several months, many diseases, and a few dead oxen. But still, you have to be at the airport a couple hours in advance, you have to let the TSA agents have their way with you—without taking you out to dinner first—and then get on a plane and just sit there for who knows how long before it takes off. All of these are givens at this point, but things can get even worse. The last thing you want is one of your worst nightmares to come true while you're going through all of the usual airport routine—nobody ever wants their hard drive to crash, but if you're a photographer coming off of a very big shoot, you really, REALLY don't want your hard drive to crash. Especially when you're the official photographer of the Miss America pageant, and especially when that very big shoot was, well… the Miss America pageant.
"My hard drive crashed at the airport when I was leaving [the pageant]… I was devastated," said Bruce V. Boyajian, official Miss America photographer for the past 15 years. "I'm at the airport, just freaking out!" Luckily for the 57-year-old Boyajian, he managed to recover about 80% of his data; even more luckily, all of the "important stuff" was still there. However, the ordeal was enough for him to seriously consider some way to back up his data on the fly. An acquaintance told him about CRU-Dataport's external hard drives, and Boyajian has been using them ever since the 2008 incident. "Being able to carry [the CRU-Dataport ToughTech Duo] in my camera bag is just… *laughs*… I take it everywhere I go," Boyajian said.
Despite that stroke of bad luck, as well as a couple others—he spoke of a time when Dom DeLuise almost walked out of a shoot because he thought the $5,000+ Leica M6 Boyajian was shooting with was an amateur point-and-shoot—Boyajian has had it pretty good. The Richmond, VA-based photographer has had a very impressive 30-year career, shooting for big names such as The New York Times, The Associated Press (which is how he got noticed for the Miss America gig, as he was covering the event for AP), and the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers team. However, way back when, Boyajian was just a fresh-faced teenager trying to get his first photography job.
"Two guys hired me to open a portrait studio in Gertz Department Store in Long Island," said Boyajian. "Once that studio had several school contracts, we moved on to East Windsor, CT, to a standalone studio." The good days weren't going to last too long, though. "We were successful enough to get a loan from the bank to open more studios, but then the two guys took the money and ran," said Boyajian. He moved back to New Jersey and started freelancing for local papers.
He gradually moved his way up and now enjoys a diverse set of assignments: he'll be taking pictures of items for auction houses one day, and the next, he'll be shooting former First Lady Laura Bush at a private D.C. function. Oh, did I mention his formal photography education doesn't go beyond high school? "No college or art school," said Boyajian. "[I] had a great art teacher, George Adams, in high school, and studied with a photographer, Ron Williams, that shot our yearbook."
Miss America? Former First Ladies? The NBA? "No college, no problem" indeed.

WELLINGTON, July 6 (Xinhua) -- A pair of bamboo umbrellas drew public attentions in Wellington, along with series of Chinese products of creative design, during the ""Beautiful Zhejiang Cultural Festival"" held in New Zealand Portrait Gallery on Wednesday.
With the theme of ""Integration"", the exhibition brought products of daily life created by young designers from Chinese Zhejiang Province, aiming to represent oriental aesthetics and the beauty of crafts design.
Jianguo Yu, the curator of the exhibition, told Xinhua that they try to bring creative ideas with simple designs to kiwis. The exhibition, which displayed in many countries before, includes some international award winning designs. It will showcase contemporary Chinese art designing, as well as to bring Chinese creative products into the international scene and be appreciated worldwide.
The Chinese Ambassador to New Zealand Wang Lutong said that all the products in the exhibition designed and made by very young and talented artists from Zhejiang Province with natural materials. It is a part of the cooperation on creative industries between New Zealand and China.
""In the world of technology, creation still matters. It gives us the inspirations and holds a unique place in our heart. Arts, culture and creative industries are also important to our commons and business, therefore it is vital to our wellbeing,"" said Wang.
As a fan of Chinese art, Wellington mayor Celia Wade-Brown sees Chinese calligraphy and traditional painting as ""something frozen in time."" She said that the creative products of Chinese art in the exhibition are examples of craft, technology and beauty of ""today's life"".
""I think this exhibition, in particular, brings an understanding of contemporary Chinese art design. We often see many beautiful landscape paintings, lovely calligraphy scrolls. Today's exhibition is something quite different for Wellington people,"" said Wade-Brown.
The exhibition is organized by Zhejiang Provincial Department of Culture, Chinese Cultural Center in New Zealand and Wellington City Council. Zhejiang and Wellington city entered into a strategic economic partnership in 2012.
" Benefits of PPI: PPI claim or payment protection insurance claim is also known as credit insurance claim or credit protection insurance. It is a form of an insurance product that helps the consumers to insure the repayment of loans that they had taken. In many cases it has been found that the borrower has died or has lost his job or facing any other kinds awkward circumstances which is preventing himher to earn a stable income. It is in these cases where PPI plays a vital role by helping the borrower to repay the debt. PPIs are widely sold by more or less all the banks in the country and also by many other private money-lending organizations.
Features of PPI: The most significant feature of PPI claim is that they can be purchased in order to insure all kinds of consumer loans which predominately includes home loan Landon Collins Giants Jersey , car loan, personal loan, business loan etc. These claims even cover the credit card policies and are considered to be an add-on facility besides the wide array of facilities that are already being provided by these kinds of claims. The policy even covers a wide array of insurance claims which predominately includes credit life insurance, credit disability insurance, credit accident insurance. These policies are of immense help during any case of accident and if a person succumbs to death or becomes disable.
Policies Covered by PPI: PPI is used to cover up a wide array of insurance policies which includes medical insurance, car insurance, home insurance. In case any particular individual fails to pay the premium then a certain amount from the insured PPI is deducted in order to pay the premium. This will ensure that the insure policy is never lapsed.
Drawbacks of PPI: PPI claim usually covers minimum amount of lone payment for a finite time period. The time period usually varies from six to twelve months. During this period the borrower must find other modes of loan re-payment as after the interval of twelve month the claim gets lapsed. It can easily be concluded that the time period as covered by these claims are long enough because after an interval of twelve month anybody can start working again. However there is certain disadvantage of these kinds of claim, the basic drawback is that the policy is bought by the customer but the benefit goes to the company that provided the claim. These companies enjoy the profit soon after the borrower starts repaying.

Go and Serve Reflections
This year's Go and Serve trip to Mobile, Alabama was transformative for both the students and leaders. As we were forced outside of our comfort zones, our faith became real and relationships were deepened.
Here are a few of the reflections from the students:
- Before the trip my faith was there but as a result of the trip my faith became real and tangible.
- This was the first time I saw what it meant when people talked about making God's kingdom real on earth. I found out what it meant when the Lord's Prayer says, "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven."
- When we came on the trip we stayed with the people we knew. Now at the end of the trip we know everyone on a deeper level.
- Before the trip I thought homeless people were just lazy and uneducated. After hearing the stories of the homeless, I know that just isn't true.
Here is a video slideshow of some of the pictures from the trip.
Thanks so much for the prayers and support of everyone! Now we get to plan for Go and Serve 2012. This will be the 50th anniversary of the first Go and Serve trip in 1962!

What exactly is a french dip sandwich?
- Diane said...
kat - "Philippe The Original is one of the oldest and best known restaurants in Southern California. Philippe's was established in 1908 by Philippe Mathieu, who claimed the distinction of having created the "French Dipped Sandwich." One day in 1918, while making a sandwich, Mathieu inadvertently dropped the sliced french roll into the roasting pan filled with juice still hot from the oven. The patron, a policeman, said he would take the sandwich anyway and returned the next day with some friends asking for more dipped sandwiches. And so was born the "French Dipped Sandwich," so called either because of Mathieu's French heritage, the French roll the sandwich is made on or because the officer's name was French. The answer is lost to history"

This sounds like a place to check out whenever I find myself in LA again--which is generally about once a decade!

Glad to see you made it to Philippe's! Man, I love that place. My mom and sister are coming for a visit this spring, so I'm sure I'll be down there again soon. I like to take visitors there.

A burglar from Rushden has had his sentence increased after mounting an appeal with "no merit whatsoever".
Karl Michael Rayner, 39, of Park Road, Rushden, burgled three homes, tried to break into two others and stole two cars, all in a matter of hours.
In our judgment, the overall sentence was richly deservedLord Justice Burnett
He was jailed for four years at Northampton Crown Court last January after he was convicted of three burglaries, two attempted burglaries, two thefts of a motor vehicle and one count of driving while disqualified.
Three senior judges at London's Appeal Court rejected Rayner's sentence challenge, and ordered that he serve an extra month behind bars for pursuing an appeal which had "no merit whatsoever".
Lord Justice Burnett said Rayner left the bedsit where he lived in the early hours of July 14, 2013, before carrying out the series of offences.
He broke into two nearby homes.
He stole car keys from one property and made off with the homeowner's Volkswagen Golf.
Rayner crashed the car in a ditch in Wymington soon after, before forcing his way into another home in the village.
In Podington he burgled yet another property and took a Saab car from the driveway.
Rayner's home was later searched and police discovered a watch he had taken during the spree.
Days later, police found the keys to the Saab in a house where Rayner was arrested.
He told officers that he was not involved in the break-ins, blaming others, and later claimed at his trial that he had been at a friend's house at the time.
On appeal, Rayner argued that his sentence was too long.
But Lord Justice Burnett, sitting with Mr Justice Gilbart and Judge Richard Griffith-Jones, said: "In our judgment, the overall sentence was richly deserved.
"There are some who might consider it on the light side."
The judge also rejected an application for Rayner to appeal his convictions, and said: "We have concluded that both the applications have no merit whatsoever."
He said Rayner pursued his appeal despite being warned it had no prospect of success.
For wasting the court's time, Rayner was ordered to serve an extra 28 days before he would be considered for release.

I have realised that this is a underlining problem that I have been experiencing myself sense I bought a support ticket a long time ago.
I know this because i realised I have made a similar post before.
The issue is that I didn't think much of this issue at the time so I did not proceed. However, as my client is not happy, I would appreciate some help.
Previous Post
I have built an ecart a while ago and make been selling .mp3 files etc using it fine.
However, occasionally customers come back and tell me they get this error.

Pellet boiler RTB 3 - 30 kW
Warning: Last items in stock!
Availability date:
Range: 3 - 30 kW
Efficiency: >90% (Class 5)
Heats: 300-500 m² (based on well insulated home)
Replaces: 7500 l.of oil/y
Width: 623 mm
Depth: 843 mm
Height: 1022 mm
Refill every: 2 - 3 days
With the RTB's Automatic Air Compressor Boiler Cleaner, cleaning your boiler can be reduced to as little as 2 times a year.
Prevents the build up of ash on the burner head by periodically blowing compressed air over the burning grate. This allows for greater efficient burning and extends the length between maintenance cleaning.
Most modern pellet burners today are able to modulate between 10-20 steps over a heat range from 30%-100% of power.
The greater the number of steps the more accurate your system is at producing the heat demanded by the home.
Due to our sophisticated controls and our highly accurate dosing of pellets via an internal auger, our burner can produce heat at an amazing 90 steps and over an impressively wide heating range from 10 -100% power.

Warning: Graphic content
Tatyana Kozhevnikova, 42, from Novosibirsk, Russia, who holds the Guinness World Record for "vagina weightlifting," will demonstrate her unique skills on E4's
The Body Shocking Show
on 10 p.m. March 14.
The video above is a sneak preview. It shows her lifting weights with her genital muscles. Although, Kozhevnikova lifts only 6kg dumbbells in
The Body Shocking Show
, the Guinness Book of World Records confirms she has lifted a 14kg glassball with her genital muscles,
The Huffington Post
She will demonstrate on the
The Body Shocking Show
her technique for lifting heavy weights with her vagina.
According to
The Sun
, speaking through an interpreter to stunned show hosts Jessica-Jane Clement and Pete Firman, she said: "I insert this wooden egg equipment. And then you just tighten your vaginal muscles and hold the egg inside."
She then fits the weights to the equipment and lifts them in the air.
Kozhevnikova runs an
"Intimate Fitness"
website where she offers people training in the art she calls "Intimate Gymnastics." She said: "I haven't just stumbled upon this talent. I had normal vaginal muscles like any other woman but I've achieved it after 20 years of vigorous training."
She explains that she began lifting weights with her "intimate muscles" after her first child when she noticed the muscles got weak.
In a 2009 interview with
The Morning Star
, she said: "After I had a child, my intimate muscles got unbelievably weak. I read books on Dao and learned that ancient women used to deal with this problem using wooden balls. I looked around, saw a Murano glass ball and inserted it into my vagina. It took me ages to get it out!"
The Huffington Post
reports she said she uses "custom-made vaginal balls" and a variation of weights to strengthen her core muscles.
Intimate Fitness
website also offers five-day pelvic training exercises for men so they can achieve "ideal buttocks." She also offers training for "perfect abs" which she says children may also benefit from.
She explains the practical benefits of vagina muscle training: "It's enough to exercise your vagina five minutes a day, ladies, and in just one week you'll be able to give yourself and your man unforgettable pleasure in bed."
Daily Loaf
comments that men will tend to agree that "nothing is more pleasurable than having your [intimate part] crushed by [a] titan force of your partner's intimate lady muscles."

Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will come to an end with Ant-Man this July. Phase Three will start up with the last announced Captain America film, Captain America: Civil War. I'll go into more of what to expect after the break but first let's look at the major McGuffin of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Infinity Gems.
Currently if you are not living under a rock and avoiding the current telling of the Marvel Cinematic Universe you will have noticed some references to the Infinity Gems over the last couple of movies in the First and Second Phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the comics each of the six gems control an aspect of reality, when all six are harnessed the wielder is akin to a god in levels of power and control of all aspects of reality. The primary story arc for the Infinity Stones was the Infinity Gauntlet minis series where Thanos with all six gems take on the entire marvel Heroes in an all-out battle royal.
Let's first ID the stones we've seen.
The Space Stone: The source of power for the weapons of Hydra, known as the Tesseract it later becomes the source of conflict in the first Avengers Film.
The Reality Stone: Shown in a fluid state in Thor: Dark World and called the Aether. Used by Malekith to bring the universe into darkness. It is given to the Collector at the end of the film to safe guard the Reality Stone.
The Power Stone: The object of desire in Guardians of the Galaxy, used by Ronan and later controlled by the Guardians who gave it to the Nova Corps to hide in their super space cop evidence vault.
The identity of the most recent stone with SPOILERS after the break.
The Mind Stone: Found as the source for Loki's staff, which was given to him by Thanos, and used by Hydra to enhance humans giving them super powers. It was used to complete Vision who currently wields the stone and acts as a keeper.
So where is the next set of stones going to come from? Let's hazard some guesses:
The Time Stone: Able to control time I'd not be surprised if it shows up in Thor: Ragnarok as Thor does return to Asgard at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron because the showing of so many of the gems at one time is a bad sign. It may even explain the cycle of life on Asgard and the legend of Ragnarok.
The Soul Stone: Doctor Strange would be an easy fit to show off of the soul stone, but I'd really like to see it in Marvel's Iron Fist which should be a great seed for Doctor Strange and add stronger ties to the Netflix TV series and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
I think the rest of the planned films outside of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, should avoid direct use of the stones as the source of conflict for those stories. We have had three films where the stones are major plot drivers, while the most recent Mind Stone and early showings of the Tesseract were more subtle with their place in the plot.
So what do we expect from the next set of films for Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Captain America: Civil War (May 2016)
This will get the ball rolling and it will break up the status quo of the current set of Heroes. I expect Captain America will be arrested at the end of the film, with Bucky taking the mantel of Captain America with prodding from Black Widow, Hawkeye, Falcon and Nick Fury. I think they could even kill off Captain America as per the comics and the Time or Soul Gem could be used to bring him back later –
Doctor Strange (2016)
This will be an intro movie but it will have seeds from the Marvel's TV series. Already we're seeing a more mystic side in the series: The image one the wee bags of drugs from Gao's business are the symbol of the Steel Serpent. The 'greek girl' is Elektra. The red ninja is a member of the Hand. Even that old lady Gao is super strong and she sees a psychic, lots of references to K'un-L'un a multi-dimensional realm that is accessed through magic and is where Iron Fist gets' his powers that also has links to Doctor Strange being about eastern mystics. Doctor Strange will fight off his classic rival after mastering magic and at the end he will start his role as the Sorcerer Supreme. I can see him being important to tap into the Infinity Gems once the war starts.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017) will be one of the pillars that launches Avengers: Infinity War. I expect Thanos to show up or be somewhere in the background but otherwise I have only a few small guesses on the next chapter for writer director James Gunn and his film. My best guess is it will have to do with Peter Quill's half alien heritage and maybe how the Power Gem may have affected the team long term.
Spider-Man (2017)
Hopefully something better than the last Spider-Man film.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
A film ending the Thor movies, and another lead up to the next Avengers Film. Thor will fight Loki, Asagrd will go to war and the nine realms will fall. I expect Thanos to be part of this either directly or indirectly.
Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 (2018)
This will be starter film leading into the next half of the Phase Three films acknowledging the scope of the danger, or it will be part 1 of a two part film – a shitty idea. I think this one will be about the heroes fighting Thanos' last minion and figuring out he's been the threat since the start. Black Panther will have already been in Captain America: Civil War, I think the end of this film will lead him to go home and gather his people's resources for the coming final battle.
Black Panther (2018)
With Wakanda mentioned now a few times, I expect the Black Panther being him versus Claw (as seen in the most recent Avengers film) as he deals with leading his people to join the rest of the world.
Captain Marvel (2018)
I expect they will keep parts of the Mrs Marvel origin. She will be wounded in one of the most recent films either on screen in that film or flashed back. Captain Marvel will rise and learn how to be a hero while fighting off one of the many Captain Marvel villains.
Avengers: Infinity War Part 2 (2018)
This is the big final movie for many of the characters. Captain America will come back from jail or death with the powers of the Soul Gem. Iron Man will put on the suit one more time. Thanos is come and the Avengers will knock out his teeth.
Inhummans (2019)
The last film on the list is the odd duck. We're seeing Inhummans in the current series of the Agents of SHIELD series, with Skye being a big pusher but this movie is after Avnegers: Infinity War and 5 years after we started Skye's story. They will come out of hiding after being forced to help out in maybe the infinity war… I dunno. They are hard to fit without being careful to not break the mold, much like Thor had to do when he first showed up.
Well that's a lot of guessing.
- Cheers

When I think of things I'm thankful for, my gerbils, Charlie (left) and Gus (right) are pretty high up there on the list. And as anyone who has ever talked to me for longer than five minutes can tell you, I love those little guys more than some people love their children.
Gus and Charlie came to me a year ago through Shawsheen River Gerbils and not a day goes by where they haven't delighted me, frustrated me, made me laugh, or figured out some way to make me love them even more than I did when I woke up that morning. They jump on my lap when I'm sitting on the couch, they chatter at me when I pet them, they eat from my hand, and they've also learned how to fake "losing their balance" (and I know it's fake because they are perfectly capable of keeping their balance most of the time) so they can hide under the couch and eat all the crumbs there. They are, in short, perfect.
So to celebrate Thanksgiving, as well as their Adoptaversary, and also because I will take any excuse to photograph my gerbils doing something adorable, I decided to make them a little "turkey dinner".

If you've ever heard someone described as a person who "wouldn't hurt a fly", what you didn't know is that the phrase totally was made up to describe me. It physically pains me to see a dead animal or hurt one. I can't look at roadkill. There are only humane pest traps in my home or I throw tantrums. Once, we found a caterpillar in our celery and I raised it to a moth before setting it free. I'm pretty sure I named him, too, but I can't for the life of me remember what. When I was little, I used to try to keep bugs as pets inside jars. I'd dig for pill bugs (seriously, these are my favorite insects ever) and I'd tend to the mother pill bugs who were crawling with larvae. Yeah, I was that kid. The kid who was an insect midwife. (In case you were wondering, no, I wasn't very popular.)
So really, I don't kill bugs. In fact, it's a credo – unless the bug is doing something offensive such as eating my food or clothes, or biting me, or destroying my house (I'm looking at you, carpenter ants and mosquitoes), I don't touch them. Yes, flies are annoying, but as far as I'm concerned, they've clearly proven, through their supreme evasion techniques, to be worthy adversaries, and I simply usher them out the door. Spiders I welcome – they kill irritants I didn't even know were in my house. Beetles, earwigs, and what have you are politely scooped in a cup and released into the world with a bon voyage.
For years, I have driven my family and friends crazy with my yelps of dismay and lectures on how this was their land first, and now we're living here, and how we need to share and cohabitate, and how would you like to be flushed down the toilet? But I fear my kumbaya spirit has been slain, and the creature I'm taking my rage out on?
The moth.

For years I had the opinion that sweatpants I only wear for jogging. But the new trackpants already have an important place in my wardrobe. They are not only very easy to wear but look very stylish at the same time! In the office I would combine them with a classical black blazer, a silk blouse and pumps.
Today I wear the trackpants with the white gallon stripe with a silk blouse and plateau sneakers.
The trackpants from Minx is available via Deutsche Modedesigner. Have a nice week!

|If you use a targeted ant bait, the ants will take most if not all of it back to the nest and consume it. I figure you use so very little to gain so much, especially with fire ants!
Our local County Extension released a parasitic wasp that is helping a lot with fire ant control around here. Maybe ask your County Extension about this?
There are insecticides that use Spinosad which is organically acceptable since it does not persist in the environment, but is broken down by natural soil processes. http://www.2ndchance.info/flea... I talked yesterday to someone who used a Spinosad powder to make an ant bait. Don't know how well it works, though.
The other way to go is DE, diatomaceous earth. You can try spreading it around the ant mounds and see if it helps. It will certainly kill some of the ants in a completely non-toxic manner, but it may actually cause the nests to 'bud' or divide and spread around, eventually making the problem more widespread.

|We had success with coffee grounds. We got them free from Starbucks. Doesn't kill them though, they just move somewhere else. If you leave a 5 gal. bucket with Starbucks you can go back in a couple of days and pick it up full of grounds (and filters). Bring a second one to leave for refill.

Sep 28, 2014 7:39 PM CST
|While you are at Starbucks, or any other of your favorite coffee shops, grab a packet or two of Splanda.
Rip open one packet and carefully sprinkle the contents on one ant mound; do this in such a way that you do not disturb the ants.
The ants will not be alarmed and later will find the 'food' that you left for them; they will carry it down into the inner sanctum.
Everyone will get an ant size stomach ache and decide to move away from the area.
Okay, it's not an all natural solution, but it does work and costs very little, even if you actually buy the box of Splenda.
(I got mine at a yard sale for $1.00 for and entire industrial size box.)

I care about writers and authors and in the end I hope to help them navigate the publishing waters. I stay up on the new trends and the way the publishing world is changing. I do all this because I want to help, to keep the frustration level down for all the writers out there that want to have a dream realized and become a published author.
Along with this, I am frustrated by other well-meaning bloggers and authors sending out ill-advised or out-of-date advice and thus keeping the crazy chain of writers going down the wrong path.
The big publishers are not taking new work. Their agents are not taking new work! Do I need to say this again? NOT TAKING NEW WORK. NOT LOOKING, COULD CARE LESS THAT YOUR BOOK IS THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!
I am not trying to be mean but these are the facts. Small houses are taking new titles (well, some are), and some are looking. But this means low royalties and a ton of headache. But do what you will. Back to the main grievance...
If we know that these publishers are not taking new work WHY ARE YOU STILL TEACHING AND TELLING WRITERS TO WRITE QUERY LETTERS?!? Come on! Really. This is stupid, crazy and like banging on a store window after hours and wondering why they won't open up for you.
Look at it this way, if you are a big publisher and you receive an unsolicited query letter, what do you do? I'd bet you would have a big meeting with all your investors and grant 100k to this unknown project. After that, you publish and market this book, and spend even more money on bookmarks and posters to give out at Starbucks. Now you, the big publisher, have to try to sell this book in this market to people that would rather get it free from the library. Does this all make sense now?
So, the store is closed unless you are famous. Are you famous? Anyway, they are closed; the big agents are closed. The sane thing to do is to leave them alone, or you can keep sending in your perfect query letter and they will keep throwing it in the trash.
Below are some things you can do to ensure that you will never be a published author:
*Write and send out query letters.
*Go to all the writing conferences.
*Read all the how-to books on publishing.
*Hunt for a book agent.
*Talk about your book you are working on but just talk, talk ,talk...
*Join a local writers' group and sit with all the other non-published (and never going to get published) authors and in 20 years still be working on your book.
*Over-edit your book.
*Wait until your book is perfect.
*Perfect your book proposal.
*Don't market yourself until your book is out.
*Minimize eBooks and online social media.
*Look at your book as a hobby instead of a business.
*Write for the public and not for yourself.
Believe me, I researched all the different publishing options for a year and almost gave up. But once I saw what I could do, it changed everything. My advice? Find a small, out-of-the-box house and talk to a real person who will work with you on your project and make it the best it can be.
This is the time of the author; the writer can now hold all the cards. It is time to take back your power. Take it, own it and claim what is yours!

New to the world of publishing your words on the subject are refreshing. The amount of articles that I have read online about how to get published is mind boggling. The frustration that you convey in your article describes exactly what I have been feeling. Trying to get someone to read my work is hands down the hardest thing that I have ever done. You and your publishing house continue to give me hope. Thanks again.ReplyDelete
Thanks Aaron, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and feelings. (loved your knocking on a store front analogy)ReplyDelete
Another great post, Aaron! You're on a roll! :-)ReplyDelete

When Fischer qualified for the 1958 Interzonal at Portoroz, Yugoslavia, in order to get used to the venue and international chess, he arrived in Belgrade early and played a two-game match (both drawn) against Janosevich and then defeated a promising young Matulovich 2.5 -1.5 despite losing the first game.
Matulovic participated in five Chess Olympiads (1964-1972), winning 2 silver and 2 bronze team medals, one gold and 2 silver individual medals. He also played in four European Team Championships (1961-1973), winning three silver medals. His best result was equal first with Gligorich, Ivkov and Polugaevsky at Skopje 1969 ahead of former World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik and Efim Geller. Although he played in many Interzonals he never advanced to the Candidates stage.
In the 1970 "USSR versus Rest of the World" Matulovic played on 8th board against Botvinnik where he lost one game and drew three. There was controversy over this pairing as Matulovic as well known for his "Botvinnik complex" and his long history of poor results against Botvinnik. There were accusations that the Soviet team captain had placed Botvinnik on a lower board than his stature would warrant in order to take advantage of this. Of course, there was never any doubt that he was never in Botvinnik's class, so the controversy, in my opinion, was nothing mote than a tempest in a teapot.
Controversy was nothing new to Matulovic though because he was known for playing out hopeless positions long after etiquette said he should have resigned. All that, as annoying as it was to his opponents, was minor when compared to the controversy surrounding the 1970 Interzonal at Palma de Mallorca where he was accused of throwing a game to Mark Taimanov in return for $400 bribe. His loss allowed Taimanov to advance to the Candidates matches...not that it did Taimanov any good because he was defeated by Bobby Fischer 6–0.
At the Sousse Interzonal in 1967 he played a losing move against Istvan Bilkek then took it back after saying "j'adoube." Bilek complained but the move was allowed to stand. This incident earned Matulović the nickname "J'adoubovic." It's been said that was neither the first nor last time he pulled that trick; rumor has it that he once did the same thing against none other than Bobby Fischer.
In this position Bilek has just played 37...Qc-c6 and Matulovic answered with 38.Bf3? and before Bilek could play 39...Rxf3 Matulovic put the Bishop back and played 38.Kg1. Matulovic claimed he was adjusting the pieces. The game ended in a draw. After this incident, Matulovic was given the nickname "J'adoubovic".
Matulovic was not the only player in the history of chess to throw games, take bribes or take back moves, so it's not clear why he has been vilified by the press and his peers for such conduct when the same shenanigans by stronger players than Matulovic have been ignored or glossed over.
GM Nigel Short, aka Nasty Nigel, never known to mince words or exhibit good taste, said on Facebook on hearing the news about Matulovic's death, "They say only speak good of the dead. He's dead? Good!" Matulović was convicted of vehicular manslaughter and served nine months in prison for a car accident in which a woman was killed.
The following game features a nice finish.

Brian Orelli: MannKind's Afrezza is like that kid in school that had tons of potential, but never amounted to anything after getting a bad rap with the teachers because his older brother was a troublemaker and the principal never let the teachers forget it.
In case you haven't been following along with the metaphor, Afrezza's older brother is Pfizer's (NYSE:PFE) Exubera, and the principal is the Food and Drug Administration.
Afrezza is a good product, in theory at least. Inhaling insulin is more convenient for patients than injecting the drug. And the insulin gets into and out of the blood stream quicker than injected insulins, which mimics what happens with non-diabetics and should prevent the insulin from reducing patients' blood sugar levels below where they should be.
But as Sanofi launches the drug for MannKind next year, it's going to have a hard time convincing doctors to prescribe a drug through the lungs. The FDA wants doctors to test for lung function before prescribing, after six months and every year after, even if there are no signs of a problem, suggesting the FDA doesn't have confidence about the long-term use of Afrezza. Keep in mind that Exubera was linked to lung cancer, which will also be in the back of doctors' minds even if the link was inconclusive.
Afrezza might have been able to overcome the unknown long-term issues -- they're only potentially a problem, after all -- if it was substantially better than injected insulins. Unfortunately our mean principal, the FDA, didn't give Afrezza a chance to succeed, failing to put anything on the label about Afrezza decreasing the likelihood of a hypoglycemia (low blood sugar.) The only mention of hypoglycemia on the label is in the warnings and precautions section because taking too much -- just like with injected insulin -- could be life-threatening.
If Mannkind hadn't lined up Sanofi, I feel like it would have gone the way of Dendreon, the maker of an effective prostate cancer treatment that never signed on a partner and continues to stumble. But the Sanofi deal sidesteps a lot of the risk of going it alone.
Sanofi's feet-in-the-street have been clamoring for another product to pitch alongside the company's top selling Lantus and with 7 million Lantus patients worldwide, Sanofi knows a thing or two about winning scripts.
Not only did Sanofi hand over $150 million up front to partner on Afrezza, it also agreed to pay MannKind a royalty rate that's arguably above the industry average at 35%. Admittedly, 35% of zero is still zero, but I'm willing to bet that Sanofi can position Afrezza as an adjunct therapy to Lantus, especially in type 1 patients where Afrezza is approved only for use alongside long acting insulin such as Lantus or perhaps Sanofi's next generation drug, U300.
Clearly, the Sanofi deal doesn't solve all of MannKind's woes, but it does throw it a much needed lifeline. Even if Afrezza is a commercial disaster, Sanofi's upfront payment boosts its cash position to over $200 million, putting it in a net cash position (MannKind's debt totaled $186 million exiting the second quarter). And if Sanofi can turn Afrezza into a top seller, MannKind could find itself the beneficiary of $775 million in milestone payments, too. Sure, you need a lot of this stuff to go MannKind's way, but it may be a bet worth taking, especially given that the number of people with diabetes globally is expected to surge from 365 million people to 552 million people by 2030.
