Great entries! I am choosing a winner on Monday, so stay tuned.
Purifying project management
Desired Color Scheme:
As seen in logo attatched/ blue /grey
Desired Style:
web 2.0 sort of, simple, clean, engaging, and really beautiful.
Accepted File Formats:
psd or vector AND tiff or JPG
Greetings Designers,
We are starting a new company and are in need of a design look for the site. There are two pages that need to be designed. I have seen many excellent designs at sitepoint, and that's why I am here. So thank you in advanced. I have just had our logo designed, and you will find that in the file attached to this project. It contains jpg, ai, eps and svg. However, the logo/color scheme I am going with is found the jpg called logo_actual_colors.jpg. Please build the templates of this.
Page 1- Front page
Front page This page needs to sell our product in about 10 seconds to the customer, and I deeply care about its quality, and clarity. Here is what it should contain:
Logo teamvibes
Slogan Purifying project management
Screen shot section (main item they should see)
Screen shot of Main task view (the other page you are designing) with quote
This is what you see as manager
Screen shot of desktop client (provided)
This is what what those you manage see
(or something to this effect)
Big links demo now sign up for free
Footer ( small links of some sort) - home faqs pricing contact more info
This front page should resemble the style of the rest of the template, but I think it should be different enough so have a good product sell on it.
Page 2 - Template
For this page you will find a mock up of what elements need to go on the page. It's a view of tasks that have been assigned to people, and being looked at in a category view. There are many views, but they are all fairly similar, and I will have the programming team mimic your design everywhere else in the code.
This site is going to be developed with ajax/php/mysql. The feel of the site will be very dynamic. If you go to netvibes.com, you will see basically how the main tasks area should act, with the drag and drop capability. I only mention this to give you an idea of how it should be designed.
It would probably benefit you to stick fairly close to my layout design. Not the styling of course, but the general layout is what I am happy with. I need a design which is attractive and simple enough to make you want to look at it.
Here are some notes on what I want from your design:
Web 2.0 feel
lite background
not terribly strong colors
not terribly strong branding
Sites that I think are designed well to sell:
Again the files you will need:

Pre-Owned: 2007-2013 Audi Q7
If nothing else, the Audi Q7 is an object lesson in how to make something stylish out of something huge. It's a fullsize, seven-seat SUV but somehow hides its bulk well with carefully drawn lines and proportions.
The Q7 has been in North America since 2007. A second generation is set to debut as a 2015 model, so now's a good time to look at pre-owned examples.
All-wheel drive is standard, but the Q7 has never been offered with a low-range transfer case. In addition, its ground clearance of 8.1 inches is nothing to boast about, so off-road performance isn't the Q7's strong suit. But there's no denying the imperious on-road driving experience, superb build quality, and classy cabins. The Q7 is built on the same platform as the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg.
Propulsion came initially from a 3.6L V-6 good for 280 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque or a 4.2L V-8 making 350 hp and 325 lb-ft.
The real star engine is the 3.0L TDI, using Audi's "Clean Diesel" technology, available from 2009 onward. A respectable 225 hp is developed by this turbocharged V-6 but with diesel, it's all about the torque: a hefty 406 lb-ft. Consumption is 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. Compare that with 14/20/16 and 13/18/15 respectively for the 3.6L and 4.2L gasoline drinkers
With the second and third row of seats folded flat, cargo volume is 72.5 cubic feet. The "wrap-around" design of the tailgate means a usefully wide aperture for loading.
A mild facelift distinguished the 2010 model year. The front bumper was tidied up, the grille received vertical accents and the rear bumper sprouted a chrome strip. LED tail lamps were now standard, along with LED daytime running lights and turn signals. And the multimedia interface (Audi's MMI infotainment system) became easier to use.
In 2011, the 3.6L V-6 and 4.2L V-8 engines were replaced by two version of the supercharged 3.0L TFSI V-6, one making 272 hp and 295 lb-ft (this was bumped up by eight more horses in 2012) the other making 333 hp and 325 lb-ft. Fuel consumption is 16/22/18 for both units.
The more powerful version went into the S-line Prestige trim level. This was also the year when the automatic transmission went from six to eight ratios.
Trim levels are Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige, with Luxury and S-line as popular packages. Even the "base" Premium trim includes leather upholstery, heated front seats and a power tailgate. Prestige offers the option of an adaptive air suspension, a particular boon for towing. Available safety features include intelligent cruise control and blind spot monitoring.
The very top-end audio system is a Bang & Olufsen 1,000-watt 14-speaker set up optimized especially for the Q7. it sounds amazing.
There's only been one official recall, which involved a problem with the automatic tailgate closing mechanism of 2007 and 2008 models.
Here's a general thing but bears repeating: On examples with towing hardware, make sure all the electronics work as they should. Towing capacity for the 3.0L TDI is 6,600 pounds.
A 2010 3.0 TDI Premium is good condition is valued at $36,765. For comparison, a similar 2010 MBW X5 xDrive 35d fetches around $29,989, while a 2010 Mercedes-Benz GL350 Bluetec would be in the region of $36,908.

Joyless performances make for a bad day for moviegoers
As one who thinks Die Hard one of the best action films ever, I must with a heavy heart urge all fans of John McClane to skip this movie.
In 1988, off-duty cop John McClane (Bruce Willis: Looper) walked into an office Christmas party and became a terrorist-killing legend. Twenty-five years later, McClane has dispatched baddies in office buildings, airports, the burroughs of New York and the streets of D.C.
The fatigue is starting to show.
A Good Day to Die Hard follows our beleaguered action hero to Russia, a journey that, much like this movie would have been more topical and interesting in the 1980s.
His son Jack (Jai Courtney: Jack Reacher) has had a little trouble in Moscow. Long estranged, McClane goes to see Jack before he's sentenced.
He arrives at the courthouse as Jack orchestrates an impressive jailbreak. Turns out Jack isn't a bad seed; he's a deep cover CIA operative hoping to turn a fellow prisoner into one of our government's biggest assets. John is willing to help, but Jack is still angry with his father for an unhappy childhood. When the mission goes south, Jack has no choice but to ask his dad for help.
No one appears to have cared about the quality of the production. The direction is uninteresting, with action sequences seemingly snatched straight from other films. The script is painful with stale lines like "you were never there for me dad!"
The plot makes no sense, even by action-movie standards. So much emphasis is put on the fractured relationship between father and son that you expect an emotional explanation of what happened. You won't get it, because emotions are for wimps.
Worst are joyless performances from Willis and Courtney. Courtney is a charm vacuum who can't seem to do anything but scrunch his eyebrows and flex his pects. It's a shame that McClane's only boy didn't inherit his father's charisma.
As for Willis, one wonders if he was a hostage on the set. He sleepwalks through his scenes, barely bothering a jog as he dodges bullets. Once a dirt-smeared everyman who barely survived his encounters with German terrorists, McClane is now a bland action hero who can survive two major car crashes without a scratch and spit out catchphrases. His dead-eyed performance is so perfunctory that you can practically see him calculating how many house payments this movie will make. Willis is capable of better — he starred in two great films last year, Moonrise Kingdom and Looper — so it's especially disappointing to see him falter in the role that made him a star.
By the time the McClane boys barreled into the radioactive bowels of Chernobyl without hazmat gear, this critic ran out of good will. Apparently good old American machismo repels radiation poisoning.
If you're set on enjoying action-movie nostalgia with a past-his-prime star, I suggest The Last Stand. At least Schwarzenegger enjoys his movies and want you to as well.

ITHACA, N.Y. -After nearly 68 minutes without a goal, the Dartmouth men's soccer team came out on the losing end of a 2-1 double overtime loss to Cornell. The win gives Cornell sole possession of second-place in the Ivy League standings with one week left in the regular season.
Cornell (14-1-0, 5-1-0 Ivy League) used a goal from Tyler Regan at 102:37 mark to seal the win, keeping the Big Red perfect at home this season. The overtime loss was the fourth overtime loss for the Big Green this season.
Dartmouth (8-7-0, 4-2-0 Ivy League) controlled play in the first overtime session, receiving shots on goal from Gabe Hoffman-Johnson (Falmouth, Maine) and Colin Heffron (Upper Brookville, N.Y.), but still couldn't get one past Pflasterer.
Goalkeeper Noah Cohen (Johannesburg, South Africa) spearheaded the Big Green backline and made seven saves in the contest. As a group, the team held the nations leading scorer, Daniel Haber, without a goal despite six shots on goal.
The Big Green opened the second half, looking for an offensive spark. Brad Jacobson (Larchmont, N.Y.) and Patrick Murray (Lakewood, Ohio) opened with two quick shots to test Cornell goalkeeper, Rick Pflasterer but he turned both shots away.
On the offensive side of the ball, Heffron led the way with three shots on goal, the team as a whole posted 14 shots.
The teams tested each other throughout the remainder of regulation with both teams putting on extreme pressure in the final minutes of regulation. Heffron and Alberto Gorini (Incisa Valderno, Italy) both had opportunities but couldn't break through.
Cornell's Haber also had two looks late in the half but neither team could capitalize sending the Big Green to its fifth overtime contest.
In a fairly even first half, it took the Big Green a little bit of time to get into rhythm on the offensive end of things. Cornell opened the game with the first five shots of the contest, attempting to test the Big Green defense early.
The Dartmouth backline turned the Big Red away and was bolstered by a save from Cohen on a Haber shot in the 13th minute.
Dartmouth took the early lead on goal from Heffron at the 28:54 mark. The sophomore midfielder connected with a free kick from Kevin Dzierzawski (Oakland Township, Mich.) to put the Big Green ahead.
Unfortunately, the lead wouldn't last long as Stephen Relsert put a ball past Cohen to tie the game at 1-1 just two minutes after the Dartmouth score.
The Cornell goal seemed to have energized the home, team as they held the Big Green without of shot for the reminder of the half, while posting six shots of their own, including two from leading scorer Haber, which Cohen was forced to make saves on.
Dartmouth closes the 2012 regular-season on Friday (Nov. 9) against Brown at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on Fox Soccer Channel as its "Game of the Week".

For ease of track laying, our pre-cut cork cut outs match identical track pieces of a major uk supplier and are so cut to give an overhang from the sleeper edge, thus allowing the track to have a ballasted shoulder. All pieces are cut from 3mm thick cork sheet and a simple glue dab on the underside, once the track formation is formalised, is enough to hold them in place ready for track pinning. The advantage of our cork pre-cuts is that they reduce noise and give a cushioned ride to your locomotives and rolling stock. All of our products are designed and manufactured in the UK.

Maintenance Strategy Review
Maximizing plant efficiency in line with business goals
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a Japanese philosophy that advocates integrating machinery maintenance into the manufacturing process to eliminate waste or losses while producing quality products. By producing as fast as possible with no reduction or no unplanned downtime, the goal is to increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and reduce equipment failure.
By working with SKF and combining MSR and TPM, you can expect to:
- Reduce equipment damage and losses
- Increase availability and reliability
- Reduce overall machinery maintenance costs
- Employ an optimized maintenance strategy
- Increased safety
We achieve this by concentrating preventive and predictive maintenance efforts where they will do the most good, eliminating waste and developing a fully documented basis for your food or beverage machinery maintenance programme. This process then becomes a "Living Programme" for continual maintenance.

There have been some exciting things afoot for a number of local and regional musicians.
First up, local soul-rock supergroup The Curtis Mayflower — featuring Pete Aleksi on guitar, Duncan Arsenault on drums, Jeremy Moses Curtis on bass, Brooks Milgate on keyboard and Craig Rawding on vocals — has beat its goal on a Kickstarter campaign for the release of the band's debut album.
According to the band's Kickstarter page, the musicians "traveled to Lamoine, Maine, with engineer Dave Westner and set up shop in an old farmhouse. With 12 channels of analog gear and some nice mics, 11 songs were recorded live in a room. One take each. The result is a batch of songs that capture a moment of sincerity in great Rock and Roll songwriting."
But even though the band's met its goal, it's not too late to throw some money at them. Perks on the Kickstarter campaign include everything from digital downloads to VIP concert passes.
And if you need more convincing, just listen to the band's smoldering blues song, "Last Kiss."
The Curtis Mayflower isn't the only local music heavyweight with new work in the wind. Singer-songwriter James Keyes has a new album out, "The Middle," which I'll probably have more to say about later, but for now, I'm very much digging on his rock-fueled blues number "Darkness Comes Creeping."
The Middle by James Keyes
It's a hard-driving song, wrought with righteous anger and apocalyptic fervor, and it's reason enough to get excited about the album (even if I weren't already.)
Lastly, on a tangential note, Boston musicians and filmmaker Michael J. Epstein and Sophia Cacciola — both of the Michael J. Epstein Memorial Library and Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling — have started a Kickstarter campaign for their second feature film, "MAGNETIC," which is set to start filming in December.
The film, according to the Kickstarter page, is a movie about mix tapes, sheep and the end of the world, which will star Boston singer Allix Mortis in all the parts. Which is odd sounding, admittedly, but the duo's first effort, "Ten," was strange and fun, too, so hopes for this one are high.
There are a number of perks on the Kickstarter campaign, including downloads of the movie, but the most intriguing one is, starting at a $60 donation, "A limited-edition physical hand-made mix-tape copy of the score and soundtrack music from the film." Which is totally old-school. (Victor D. Infante)

Hello everyone! Just found this forum. I'm a Reds fan who grew up in the UK but my mum is from Cincinnati so went to games every summer (had to tell this to a zillion people in the past week).
I didn't realize the Reds were in CA all week until last weekend. Happened to be in SF... 9 days later I've been to 7 games.
Anyone know where I could let people know about a first row ticket in the Sony Club I have for the Padres vs. Reds game tomorrow? It's in the section next to the Reds dugout... so I think it would be pretty good experience. Willing to part with it for a fraction of what I paid, i.e. would love to be able to cover the cost of gas to/from SD from LA if possible.

A new mobile browsing option from Bing is going to make it a bit easier to find your way to Crate & Barrel at Bellevue Square or Starbucks at University Village. Bing said it has expanded mall maps to m.bing.com, making it "easier to get where you're going and find what you need on the go."
Bing announced mall maps for the Web last December — just in time for the holiday shopping season. The company's directory of mall maps has now grown to more than 400, according to a blog post from the company.
"Venue maps are a great way to save time and frustration when planning your next summer vacation or that last minute shopping trip – getting you in and out the door faster," the company writes. "Additionally, we now also provide the capability to search on the map."
As I've noted in the past, Bing isn't the only one attempting to make it easier to find stores at shopping malls.
Seattle's Point Inside was an early pioneer in the field, and it just announced that it added 80 more mall maps to its service. We've asked Point Inside if they have partnered with Bing on their new offering, and we'll update this post if we hear more.
Point Inside also has mobile maps for airports, something that Bing also plans to expand into.
[Hat tip to ReadWriteWeb, which notes that "someday indoor maps will probably be ubiquitous."]

Breakfast Braid
I created this recipe years ago and was thrilled when it won first prize in a newspaper cooking contest. Stuffed with ham, cheese and olives, it's hearty enough to satisfy Santa himself.
Total TimePrep: 50 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.
Makes2 loaves
- 3-3/4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup grated Romano cheese
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1-1/2 cups diced fully cooked ham
- 1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup diced green pepper
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 1 jar (2 ounces) chopped pimientos, drained
- 3 tablespoons chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
- Additional Romano cheese
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, cheeses, soup mix, sugar, yeast and salt; mix well.
- In a saucepan, heat milk, water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Add eggs; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- For filling, in a bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, ham, mozzarella cheese, green pepper, onion, pimientos and olives; refrigerate until ready to use.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll out each portion into a 12x10-in. rectangle. Place on greased baking sheets.
- Spread filling down the center of each rectangle. Drizzle each with 2 teaspoons butter. On each long side, cut 3/4-in.-wide strips on a diagonal, about 2-1/2 in. into center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Pinch ends to seal. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until browned and cheese is melted. Remove from pans to wire racks. Brush with remaining butter and sprinkle with additional Romano cheese. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School
Notes From a Street-Smart Executive, Mark H. McCormack
People who are miserable in their jobs dread going to work and come home frustrated, defeated and weary. The cost of job misery is very real, both for the individuals who are miserable and for the companies that employ them. Scores of people suffer every day as they trudge off to jobs that make them cynical and unhappy. Over time, this dull pain can erode the self-confidence and passion of even the strongest people.
A 2005 study by the Gallup organization found that as many as three-quarters of U.S. employees hate their work, and that the primary driver of job dissatisfaction is not pay or benefits, but rather the relationship that an employee has with his or her supervisor. Such widespread dissatisfaction kills morale and productivity within companies, and drives up the cost of recruiting, hiring and retraining new employees, all of which take a huge toll on the bottom line. Gallup estimates that the annual cost to the U.S. economy due to lost productivity is somewhere in the vicinity of $350 billion.
The Three Signs
The causes of job misery are as simple as they are common. Learning the three signs of job misery is the first step toward eliminating it. The signs are:
Anonymity. All human beings need to be understood and appreciated for their unique qualities by someone in a position of authority. People who see themselves as invisible, generic or anonymous cannot love their jobs, no matter what they do.
Irrelevance. All employees need to know that their jobs matter, to someone. Without seeing a connection between his work and the satisfaction of another person or group of people, an employee simply will not find lasting fulfillment.
Nonmeasurement. Employees need to be able to gauge their progress and level of contribution for themselves. Without a tangible means for assessing success or failure, motivation eventually deteriorates as people see themselves as unable to control their own fate.
Ask most employees whether their managers are genuinely interested in them as human beings, whether their jobs have relevance to someone other than themselves or whether they can measure the success of their jobs, and most will say "no."
Overcoming the Three Signs
Learning the three signs is one thing, but overcoming them is another. Many managers may need to fine-tune their skills or develop an entirely new skill set. Here are some tips and strategies for addressing each of the three signs:
Anonymity. The best way to remove any sense of anonymity or invisibility that surrounds an employee at work is simply to get to know him or her. To manage a human being effectively requires some degree of empathy and curiosity about why that person gets out of bed in the morning. Take some time to sit down with each of your employees and ask what's going on in their lives. It is important to reinforce and demonstrate this interest regularly.
Irrelevance. One of the most important things that a manager must do is help employees see why their work matters to someone. Even if this sounds touchy-feely to some, it is a fundamental part of human nature. Whether helping customers, patients, travelers or their immediate supervisors, employees need to know that they are helping someone and not merely serving themselves.
Nonmeasurement. People want ways to measure their work so that they can get an intrinsic sense of accomplishment. The key to establishing effective measures for a job lies in identifying those areas that an employee can directly influence, and then ensuring that the specific measurements are tied to the person or people they are meant to serve.
Even when managers understand and appreciate the importance of addressing the three signs, they very often struggle to do so. To be the kind of leader who demonstrates genuine interest in employees and who can help people discover the relevance of their work, a person must have a level of personal confidence and emotional vulnerability. Without it, managers will often feel uncomfortable, even embarrassed, about having such simple, behavioral conversations with their employees.
However, more than anything, managers need to understand that job misery at work is costly, unnecessary and treatable. Managers can change the way they approach their jobs so that employees find true fulfillment in theirs.

Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, Emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Paramount Studio!
Earlier this week two independent producers announced that they were trying to make a sequel to It's A Wonderful Life, to which the internet said NO, NO, NO. But now the mighty Paramount has stepped in to play the hero stating, "LOL you need the rights dummies." The studio released a statement to Variety saying:
No project relating to 'It's A Wonderful Life' can proceed without a license from Paramount. To date, these individuals have not obtained any of the necessary rights, and we would take all appropriate steps to protect those rights.
It's a Christmas Miracle! Meanwhile somewhere, someone is pitching an all CG remake of the Sting.

Pathology services maintained at Stawell
MANAGEMENT at Stawell Regional Health has welcomed news that St John of God Pathology will honour its current contract for the provision of services at Stawell Hospital.
St John of God Pathology had announced in July that it had advised hospital management, local medical staff and pathology staff in Stawell, Ararat, Kerang, and Kyabram of a proposal to provide a more sustainable pathology service without laboratories on site.
It was announced that the current funding for pathology services in public hospitals was inadequate to support the significant laboratory infrastructure that St John of God Pathology has in place in a number of small sites, given the relatively low volume and complexity of pathology testing required.
As a result, the proposed changes would have seen urgent tests still conducted on site, but using instrumentation located in the hospital wards. All other testing would be conducted at regional laboratories in Bendigo, Ballarat and Horsham under the proposal.
However, Stawell Regional Health acting chief executive officer, Liz McCourt, said she had met with the chief executive officer of St John of God Pathology, Michael Hogan earlier this week, to reiterate her organisation's position in relation to the proposed changes.
Mrs McCourt said she once again made it clear that Stawell Regional Health would not be accepting St John of God Pathology's offer.
"I am pleased to confirm that St John of God Pathology will honour their contract to provide Pathology laboratory services for Stawell Regional Health," she said.
"This announcement comes despite significant pressure from CEO Michael Hogan for Stawell Regional Health to accept their proposal of point of care testing machines and closure of the laboratory.
"We have previously enjoyed a good relationship with St John of God Pathology and I regret their attempt to railroad or pressure the organisation into a decision that was not in the best interests of our community.
"I am pleased that they have come around to our way of thinking."
Mrs McCourt said the backflip would mean a great deal to the Stawell and district community.
It would have seen the Oncologists denied access to fast blood tests to assess people's health in preparation for chemotherapy. The point of care units cannot test for platelets, the red blood cells, which are an important indicator in decision making for providing chemotherapy on a given day to a person. Inability to provide on-site lab testing would cause unnecessary and potentially dangerous delays.
Mrs McCourt said as a further consequence, there would not be on-site blood matching for surgical cases such as joint replacement surgery or hysterectomies.
"Stawell Regional Health is pleased for our community members, the staff who care for them and for our hard working colleagues in the St John of God Pathology laboratory, who would have been negatively impacted by this initiative," she said.
"We prefer not to deal publicly with such issues into the future and regret that St John of God saw fit to make a public announcement without adequate or appropriate consultation."
St John of God Pathology's chief executive officer, Michael Hogan, said it was always his organisation's intention to honour the current contract to 2017, but options needed to be considered to make the service more sustainable going forward.
"We have a contractual obligation to provide the services until 2017 and we never said we wouldn't meet those obligations," Mr Hogan said.
"Our proposal was to put forward a new model that would enable us to provide a more sustainable pathology service at Stawell and Ararat in the future."
Mr Hogan said St John of God Pathology would continue negotiations with the boards at both Stawell and Ararat hospitals to develop a more sustainable service model.
"The model we presented has clearly been rejected by Stawell Regional Health," he said.
"However, we will be continuing our negotiations with hospital management to come up with a suitable model that is sustainable.
"We are in no way wanting to remove services. It's a matter of making necessary changes to make the service sustainable. St John of God Pathology is eager to continue being the service provider for Stawell and Ararat hospitals, we are saying we just want to do it in a different way to ensure it is sustainable.
"If it isn't the current proposal that is accepted, then we will need to find another option."
Liz McCourt advised this has been a difficult issue for both St John Of God and Stawell Regional Health.
"The matter has been satisfactorily resolved and we look forward to continuing to work with St John of God for the next three years," Mrs McCourt said.
"This is important as it is in the best interests of the community and Stawell Regional Health."

Ok cool! Thanks guys. Ive never done it before but its a must on this custom I think.
Looks good to me, nice job! Did you have to modify Ash's head to fit on the Obi-Wan ball-joint? I want to do one now! EDIT: what paints are you using? You might have less problems with joint chipping if you use the high-quality paints and if you prime the figure first (not saying that you don't, but I found that this helped a bit in terms of joint-chippage). ..prime the figure first ... that sounds redundant
Hey, those look great! I would say maybe add some additional weather to Neyo. He has some areas that look nice and worn, while others are a bit shiny still. But it's looking very good.K'Kruhk looks like he's turning out well. I think it's fine if your version has boots. Just be sure to try and add some texture to the areas you are adding to his hair. And the Coleman Trebor is a good base for him. Perhaps a bit small, but still realistic.
I've wondered about how a tinted window might look on one of these?

2004 Ford F-150 Supercab XLT
January 2005 Towdown
The Ford F-150 has been the most popular truck in America for a bazillion years, so when Ford revamped its flagship pickup for 2004, we were quite interested in the results. Along with a more angular, squarish look comes a coilover front IFS suspension, large four-wheel disc brakes and a very torquey three-valve-per-cylinder 5.4L engine. Add to all this the 3/4-ton-ish Ford Sterling 9.75-inch rear axle that Ford 1/2-tons have enjoyed for years, and it seems a foregone conclusion that you should stab a trailer behind the rear bumper and hammer down. So we did.
The truck Ford sent us for our testing was a 4x4 SuperCab with the upscale XLT trim package, 5.4L engine, heavy-duty four-speed auto and freeway-friendly 3.55 gears. Higher tow ratings and better pulling power could be realized by checking the box for the optional 3.73 or even 4.10 gears, but we have to work with what the manufacturers give us.
Load Carrying
With the 5.4L engine, trailer tow package, 3.55 gears and 144.5-inch wheelbase, our F-150 tester was rated for a maximum 8,300-pound trailer. Ditching the 4x4 option, selecting 3.73 gears and squeezing into a standard cab will let you tow 9,900 pounds. Our test truck had the 6.5-foot bed, which is a good compromise between cargo capacity and overall vehicle length compared to the available 5.5-foot and 8.0-foot beds. Our tester didn't come with a bedliner, but there were tie-down cleats on the inside of the bed.
Inside, our truck had the 40-20-40 split bench seat with a fold-down console in the middle seatback. There is lots of room inside for CD cases, sunglasses and all your other sundries. There are also four cupholders for the front passengers to fight over and an optional DVD housing that can slide front to back on a roof-mounted track. Ours was empty (no DVD player), so we put Cheetos and other snackies inside. The rear seating area should be considered a penalty box for all but small children and little people traveling to and from the carnival. Also, when the rear seats are folded up for cargo carrying, part of the metal frame remains on the floor. There's no tray that drops down or any other way to get a flat surface to lay bulky stuff on, so unless you're carrying lots of little stuff, your big items had better be able to ride in the bed.
On The Highway
The F-150 rides nice loaded or unload-ed, but the longer wheelbase suffers badly from what we refer to as freeway oscillation, induced when the tires fall into the troughs and crests of concrete freeway seams at the same time. It's like riding a horse on a pogo stick. This is minimized, however, when a trailer with some tongue weight is on the rear.
Power-wise, you appreciate the 300 hp on tap from the three-valve 5.4L as you pull down onramps or try to pass with a trailer. Lots of velvety-smooth acceleration is available with the tap of the throttle. The power delivery is very linear. You never feel a great surge of acceleration, but a quick look at the speedometer will usually tell you you're moving quicker than you think you are.
The four-speed transmission is one of the best of any vehicle we've tested. There's no Tow/Haul button and we never found ourselves wanting one. The tranny always seemed to know exactly what to do to keep our truck-and-trailer combo rolling. It downshifted exactly when we wanted it to and held the lower gear for passing or climbing exactly until we wanted it to. It's like it was hooked to our brain, which is funny because unlike some magazine writers we know, we're not robots.
Hills And Mountains
If we liked the 5.4L's 300 hp on the freeway, we loved its 365 lb-ft in the mountains. Even with the weenie 3.55 gears, we could lug our 5,500-pound trailer up steep mountain grades without spinning the engine past 3,000 rpm, even at elevations above 9,000 feet. Like on the freeway, the smart tranny proved itself, letting us give the engine 11/42-throttle, more or less, before kicking down to a lower gear. There are few things worse when towing than having an engine and tranny combo that needs to constantly upshift and downshift to get your junk to the trailhead.
Another nicety was the stability and smooth steering on tight, twisty mountain roads. Whether going up or down, we never felt our trailer pushing or experienced any understeer. It's a balanced package that inspires confidence, but that can also get you into a little trouble, as we'll mention in the braking section.
Descending big mountains, we were pleased to find some compression braking afforded by dropping the column shifter from "D" to "3". Granted, there wasn't a whole lot of compression braking on tap, but in a sea of vehicles that lately have offered zero, even moderate holding power was a welcome luxury.
The brakes on the F-150 are big and powerful. They grab well, but they're hampered by an ABS system that doesn't really seem to work correctly. More than once while coming down twisty mountain roads or trying to avoid dumbasses in town that always seem to pull right in front of a moving trailer, we got into an emergency situation where we needed to jack on the brakes hard. Doing so caused the rear tires to lock up in short bursts that were violent enough to loudly squeal the tires and break traction. Then the rear of the vehicle would fishtail and get squirrely. This isn't the thing you want happening when you have more than 2 tons of trailer and Jeep strapped to the back of your rig.
Once you're rolling, there's no trouble pointing the F-150 where you want it to go. It handles well, steers comfortably and is so civilized you hardly feel like you're driving a truck. However, like most other Fords we've driven, our tester seemed to suffer from a rather large turning radius.
The F-150 doesn't turn that tight, so pulling into some parking spots or backing a trailer into a tight place may require a backup or two. Also, although the side mirrors are nice and large and afford a big field of view, the bed is very deep and the tailgate towers above the visibility line of most trailers, so if you can't use your side mirrors to back your trailer, you're hosed.
Bottom Line
Well-balanced workhorse that won't complain at the end of the day.

The menacing black box lurking within your entertainment center just got a bit less menacing, as Netflix adds the bright and colorful "Just for Kids" to the PlayStation 3 version of its streaming video app.
For those of you unfamiliar, the picture above depicts the Backyardigans, a group of singing, dancing and imagineering young animals that always find things that they've never seen before in their backyard. That's why every day they're back for more.
These little bastards are a staple of Netflix's "Just for Kids" section. Already available on the PC and Wii and coming soon to the Xbox 360, tablets, and whatever else, "Just for Kids" give parents a way to graduate from having to strictly control their children's video intake to being able to go get a damn sandwich for crying out loud, damn kids.
I am familiar with this feeling. I am also familiar with the entire Backyardigans series. My nine-month-old children, on the other hand, only stay for the opening song and then go back to finding dangerous things to put in their mouths.
So yes, now your children have a destination for child-safe programming on the PC, perfect for winding down after a long day of Modern Warfare 3.
Now it's time for us to have a snack.

Jon and Kate Gosselin are divorcing. Quelle surpris!?!
Having intimate experience with divorce, I try not to be judgmental about anyone who finds that they simply cannot make their relationship work any longer. However, in this case, I must make an exception.
These two are the most self-absorbed, neurotic pair I have ever seen and it's incredulous to me that they continually whine about the intrusive paparazzi who are causing them so much stress. Have they not welcomed cameras into their homes and lives to "share" their wonderful, fairytale lives? It's a slippery slope, peeps, and you guys let Pandora out of the box when you signed on for all those episodes and all that denero. And, isn't this really what it's all about? Money?
Sorry, but I have a real problem with the fact that these two have made a fortune off of the cuteness of their kids via TV, books, motivational speaking tours and "freebies". While I can understand accepting help from people wanting to help when you are overwhelmed with such a large brood, these people took it to the extreme and now, they are paying the piper.
The problem is that it's the kids who will pay the cost. While they will remain in their million dollar estate with designer clothes, playhouses and part-time parents, all they really have are each other. Make no mistake, this "decision" will have lasting consequences on these kids. Mady already needed couseling before all of this, now Kate will have to publish another hypocritical book just to cover the therapy bills for the rest of the gang. Or, perhaps she can get a sympathetic psychologist to donate their services a la her tummy tuck and his hair plugs. (You cannot make this crap up.)
The problem with sanctimony and rigidity is that it usually bites you in the butt. Early on, Jon and Kate espoused that their faith was what sustained them and their kids. Each season has brought less thankfulness/faithfulness and more entitlement/riches. For example, trips to Disney, New York, Hawaii, Utah, North Carolina….two new houses in five years, matching designer clothes (even for every day), etc., etc. While these people started out as an inspiration to others facing the challenge of large families, they have now become the object of pity and all at the hand of greed.
My advice to these "parents". Quit this show. Jon, get a real job and hold on to it. Kate, go back to nursing and support your kids like normal people and not by exploiting their obvious cuteness and unusual situation. Spend time with them instead of traveling on book tours or speaking engagements. All of the "things" are not going to ease the pain of seeing their parents' relationship dissolve, nor the public fascination associated with it. And really, do you think that people will be interested in seeing eight kids go through puberty?
Forget about the money, for once…
Money, Pink Floyd

When I worked in DC, I used to walk out the front door of my office building and across the street to the National Portrait Gallery, to think. I'd stroll and think. It was the perfect place to do so; with free admission you can simply pop in for 15 minutes and roam the halls, rubbing elbows with America's earliest painters or modern photography exhibits, just long enough to get your mind working in a different direction again.
Now when I walk out the front door of my office building, I quickly find myself at Michael Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's a block east of CNN's LA bureau on Sunset and Cahuenga. A news ticker streams the headlines across the street to Amoeba Music, one of those old dinosaurs–a real live record store. If you were wondering where to find the best pizza in all of Hollywood, let me just tell you, this place is like walking into and out of Brooklyn just crossing the threshold. If you tweet Joe's Pizza @joespizzait they will give you 15% off your order. They're on Hollywood Blvd. and Wilcox.
Note to self: Don't get derailed by the costume shops and bewildered tourists muddling over the pink and black, flecked terrazzo streets. Hollywood Blvd. can seem like a strange place, but the buttoned up hipster kids are really just programmers and the cats with the full sleeve tattoos are the graphic designers. Trailer Park, the entertainment marketing agency that puts out the slickest movie trailers for blockbuster films and designs campaigns for the latest video games, is just up the boulevard.
Walk down Wilcox to Selma and you'll see one of the most precious gems of all. The empty building directly on the corner gets buffed over almost every day because almost every night street artists put up new wheat pastes. If you catch it at the right time, you can find some pretty epic work.
Art that is born from a determined, rebellious spirit and put into action, long after the rest have resigned to the morning. Art that knows no boundaries, for better or worse, in the search for a voice. The same way that a good and gritty ground game in a campaign can achieve an eloquent brilliance. Or epic disaster. But somehow still give everyone a good laugh.
During the election, it was awesome.
I started snapping them with my iphone whenever I was quickly passing by, then posting the photos to Instagram. Different artists have found the posts and its connected me to new friends and collaborators. The pieces I've spotted have been so unique and special to me, for their content but also for their ephemeral timeliness, like pop culture hitting you on the head with a hammer. Then disappearing the next night. A real live street art twitter.
That's the fortunate thing about doing what I do, in the place I do it. We consistently embark on new creative endeavors. Surrounded by corporate news headquarters and small powerhouse production shops, 15 minutes to the local government of Downtown LA, and never too far from a coffee shop for those long and caffeine-fueled brainstorming sessions. We strike a chord between fine art and street art. Guerrilla film-making and presidential advance. Nestled in the craziest little neighborhood, but ready to travel anywhere, in the name of inspiration.

Reading aloud--particularly poetry or children's tales--is a simple but effective way to practice vocal skills. You can focus on emphasizing or "popping" different words, varying your tone and volume, pausing for effect and more. And it's easier for you to focus on those skills when the text is both familiar and not your own. Here's a video of First Lady Michelle Obama reading "The Night Before Christmas" at a children's hospital this week to get you started.
You'll find another font of poetic inspiration and good read-aloud resources from Julie Andrews, who, with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, has published Julie Andrews' Collection of Poems, Songs, and Lullabies. You can hear them discussing the book and hear them recite poems here on this episode of NPR's Diane Rehm Show--audio will be available later today.
The Eloquent Woman wishes you and your family and friends a wonderful holiday and a great new year ahead!

1. It shouldn't be hard to sit very stillAnd think about Jesus, his cross on the hill,And all that he suffered and did for me;It shouldn't be hard to sit quietly.
It shouldn't be hard, even though I am small,To think about Jesus, not hard at all.
2. I think of the miles he walked in the dust,And children he helped to love and to trust;It shouldn't be hard to sit tall in my seat,To listen politely, to quiet my feet.

Since we launched Flash Access 2.0 at Streaming Media East on May 10th, things have been extremely hectic. During the weekend I was able to catch up on my blogging and wanted to provide a quick update for those of you following this space.
I've been spending some time on the road, and will continue through the month of June, helping people understand how Flash Access can help them with content monetization. This included a week in Hollywood meeting with the major studios and some online service providers; we walked away with a strong sense of support for the technology being used for premium content. Requests for information continue to pour in from around the world. Frankly, the level of interest in Flash Access has exceeded our expectations.
But it isn't just about Flash Access. Adobe is, once again, changing the content distribution landscape with a number of technologies that are becoming available this month. Last week we put the finishing touches on HTTP Dynamic Streaming, Adobe's technology to enable streaming experiences (fast start, trick play, network DVR and multi-bitrate support) using standard open source HTTP servers for both live and video-on-demand services. This technology, which will be supported by the major Content Distribution Networks, enables massive scalability by leveraging the existing installed base of HTTP servers.
We also released version 1.0 of the Open Source Media Framework. By creating a standard framework for development of video-rich applications on the Flash Platform, we are making it easier for content providers to monetize content while reducing the development time. Perhaps more importantly, OSMF enables easy integration of plug-ins from the ecosystem of partners offering everything from ad placement, measurement, optimization, etc.
And then of course there are Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2.0, both in final stages of beta. These new versions of our runtime are taking Flash Player to a whole new level of content protection, with built in support for Flash Access on PCs/Macs. In addition, there's a big push to bring the power of Flash to other devices, including smartphones, tablets and TVs.
So how does all this come together and what does it mean to you? Flash Access 2.0, Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2.0, HTTP Dynamic Streaming and OSMF 1.0 can be combined to create a rich and secure experience, with low cost and high revenue potential. Who would say No to that?
One question I keep getting is whether Adobe is discontinuing RTMP/RTMPE. That's not the case. For a lot of people, Flash Media Server, SWF verification, RTMP (Real Time Media Protocol) and its secure counterpart RTMPE will continue to be the best solution, eg to create interactive experiences with data flowing in both directions.
A concern I've heard from some people is that Flash Access is "too heavy" when all you need is some sort of "lightweight protection". I think this is at least in part a perception issue based on people's experience with traditional DRM systems. It is also important to consider that in order to enable access to ever more desirable content (eg higher resolution, earlier release windows), content owners expect a higher level of robustness.
One of the reasons for the widespread adoption of RTMPE to protect premium streaming content has been its simplicity, scalability and user experience. We have taken steps to make sure that remains the case when using Flash Access, whether it's used for streaming of live content with HTTP dynamic streaming, for VOD or for electronic sell-through models requiring download with local playback. But that's the topic for another blog post some other time.

Sounds like Cassidy is just the type of player we want/need at present.
Parish showed his wares across the season for the Falcons and Vic Country as a big, bustling ball-winning midfielder who gets clearances and possessions at will. The younger brother of emerging Bombers midfielder Darcy, Parish is great with his hands at ground level and can feed the ball out to the runners. He's also very big for an onballer, which could appeal to a club looking for depth in that area.

Inspiration and Perspiration
What type of book do you read for writing inspiration, and why? Do you read fiction or non-fiction, and what genres? Mysteries and YA, or archeology and astronomy?
Good question Deb! I guess I need different kinds of inspiration.
For book ideas? Recently, I read through a copy of Scientific American and got so many new sci-fi ideas. I love mooching off the latest technology! The Little House books by Laura Ingalls inspired my second novel about a kick-ass, flint-lock rifle-shooting gal in the upper Mississippi territories. I wanted to take a smart, strong frontier girl and amp her up a notch. Someday I'll revive Polly Sterling out of that shelved novel.
But truthfully? Most of my ideas don't usually come from books or magazines. I have a running fascination with the human body, disease, mortality, and fertility that keep cropping up as themes in my writing and poetry.
For writing style and plotting? YA books for sure. When I'm sad that I've hit the last page, or have to reread a paragraph just so I can turn of words around in my brain again...*sigh* These books make me sweat and work harder (No inspiration, no perspiration!). Here's a teeny, tiny list of books and how they inspired me:
The Hunger Games: Make every sentence earn its existence. There is no superfluous fluff in there.
Harry Potter: Keep the MC's goal very clear and the reader desperate for a resolution. (JK should have renamed the book "That-Which-Cannot-Be-Put-Down")
The Scorpio Races: Flawless world building. Loved her non-stagnant, lyrical prose.
There are so many other books that inspire me (as well as many that have taught me what I don't want to do), but then this post would be waaaaay too long.
Is there a particular book that's inspired your writing?

I think reading anything and everything is inspiring to me. And as you said, some show what NOT to do. Which is just as good! :o)

Um ...
I want to read about your kick-ass, flint-lock rifle-shooting gal.
- February 8, 2012 at 5:55 AM
- Laura Pauling said...
I love finding books that inspire me to write better. Like Jessica said, finding ones that are just so so help to. I find books with a great story and books with great prose equally inspiring.
- February 8, 2012 at 5:56 AM
- Miranda Hardy said...
Several YA books I've read recently have inspired me. Thirteen Reasons Why...great concept and lesson. Delirium...world building and description. Daughter of Smoke and Bone....imagination is incredible.
- February 8, 2012 at 6:22 AM
- Bryan Russell said...
Too many inspiring books to count. Lately, Irmgard Keun's After Midnight and Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone. Those books make me happy I'm a writer.
- February 8, 2012 at 6:26 AM
- Natalie Aguirre said...
Yes, I agree. I get inspired so much from reading authors like the ones you mentioned. And reading ones that don't work as well that show how things can be better. I find as I grow as a writer I learn even more from the books I read.
- February 8, 2012 at 6:39 AM
- Unknown said...
Great insight. For me, depending on the genre I'm writing at the time will determine what books are most inspirational. However, I do get great ideas for books from magazines and things I read.
- February 8, 2012 at 6:45 AM
Anything by Lloyd Alexander or Diana Wynne Jones. I go back to those two all the time for that peculiar blend of humor and deep truth.
Wrede and Stevermer's Cecy and Kate books have also been a great inspiration for me, in how they so seamlessly blend reality and magic into a remarkably believable world. Plus, they're a lot of fun, which is always great for starting the writing juices flowing!
- February 8, 2012 at 6:58 AM

I think every book I read inspires my writing. I seriously haven't picked out a book I didn't love in like over a year now.

I'm sure I've said this before so sorry for repeating - but SE Hinton's The Outsiders really really really fired up my initial passion to write!
Take care

I actually like to read non fiction books to inspire me. Usually something about a writer that stuck with it and got her book published, and she is now successful. Something really motivating.
- February 8, 2012 at 7:17 AM
- Deborah Walker said...
I've recently been inpired by Carrie Vaughan's urban fantasy series, Kitty. For it's page turning quality. And it's linear first pov narrative, which has helped me immensely with my attempt at a novel.
- February 8, 2012 at 7:27 AM
- April Plummer said...
I really don't know now to answer that. I just read so much, and so much inspires me in different ways. Sometimes, an author's humor like the book I just finished. Sometimes the prose (also like the book I just finished). Sometimes, if it's a nonfiction, it'll give me ideas. YA may give me hope for our youth...or make me fear for our youth and give ideas. Just...reading in general. I don't read stuff I can't get into, so if I'm into it, it's going to inspire me in some way.
- February 8, 2012 at 7:34 AM
Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child were the biggest inspiration. Dean Koontz and Dan Brown too. Hunger Games was great. No fluff is right. Looking forward to the movie.
- February 8, 2012 at 8:06 AM
- E. Arroyo said...
When I'm actively seeking inspiration I reach for non-fiction.
- February 8, 2012 at 8:12 AM
- Nancy said...
Haven't read the scorpio ones. I will have to try that since I love the others. I love early and later Dean Koontz (especially Watchers), not so wild about his middle years.

I love it when a book inspires me. It's been awhile Gotta get reading again! Thanks for the reminder!
- February 8, 2012 at 8:47 AM

Great interview! I agree that reading books inspires writing. Reading other people's experiences comes as a second inspiration to your own experiences.

Michael Shaara's historical fiction classic "The Killer Angels" meant the most to me.
The way he uses short yet powerful sentences to create a dramatic story and paints the strengths and flaws of his characters so well was and is inspirational for me.
- February 8, 2012 at 10:00 AM
- February Grace said...
What Dianne said!!!
- February 8, 2012 at 10:05 AM
- Meredith said...
Those three books have inspired me, too. I get a lot of inspiration from people-watching. And art--I love going to the museum, finding a painting, and trying to develop a concept from it.
- February 8, 2012 at 10:15 AM
- Kimberlee Turley said...
I love Diana Wynne Jones. Whenever I put down one of her books I can't get my computer booted fast enough to start writing again.
- February 8, 2012 at 10:52 AM
- Laura Josephsen said...
Hunger Games and Harry Potter are both very inspirational.
The Chronicles of Narnia were some of the most influential books to me growing up. Nowadays, there are all sorts of stories, but I tend to be drawn to speculative fiction books. Or books that tug on my heartstrings and make me laugh in there too.
- February 8, 2012 at 11:16 AM
- Connie Keller said...
The Hunger Games was really inspiring to me.
But usually when I want inspiration, I try to read outside the genres I write. I try to pay attention to the strengths of those other genres and think about how to incorporate those strengths into what I write.
- February 8, 2012 at 12:26 PM
- Krispy said...
When I need inspiration, I reread parts of favorites. Amazing writing inspires me as much as it can sometimes depress me. Haha. I totally agree about your book examples.
Lately, the books that have inspired me are THE SCORPIO RACES (for flawless, effortless world-building and atmosphere setting), DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE (for lyrical writing and wildly imaginative world and myth-building), and THE SPACE BETWEEN (for complex characterization - humanizing non-humans and walking the delicate line between good/bad, broken/saved, love/loss).
- February 8, 2012 at 12:39 PM
The last book that inspired me was The Near Witch by Victoria S.
She has a way with words that make me re-read paragraphs just because.
- February 8, 2012 at 1:23 PM
- Margo Berendsen said...
I just read a YA contemporary from a few years ago, Right Behind You, by Gail Giles, and it really inspired me. I read it one night!~ I definitely plan to go back and analyze how the author put it together!
I keep hearing about the Scorpio Races - must read it!
- February 8, 2012 at 1:53 PM
- Cynthia Chapman Willis said...
No one book has inspired me. Whenever I read gorgeous writing or a story that shines in some way, I am inspired. It's always a treat. Oh, and I loved The Scorpio Races, too. Flawless word building is right.

ROFL! That is so true.

I read everything, and I find inspiration in strange and unusual places.
- February 8, 2012 at 5:13 PM
Markus Zusak's "The Book Thief" is incredibly inspiring. Sometimes I'll just turn to a random page, and every sentence is so unique and gorgeous. I could live ten lifetimes and never write like that...
- February 8, 2012 at 5:51 PM
- Carrie Butler said...
Great post, Lydia! So many books have inspired me--especially the ones that linger emotionally. :)

Great post I love Patrick Ness' trilogy, it is fast paced and gripping througout.
This next suggestion isn't YA but I so love Lori lansen's The Wife's Tale simply because she seems to break all the rules in How Not to Write a Novel and still writes a compelling read. The description on first page is so evocative.

- DL Hammons said...
This may actually be opposite of what your talking about. I read a book by MARY HIGGINS CLARK, but I don't remember the title of the book. I just remember thinking to myself after I finished it..."this is a relatively famous author, and I know I can write better than this!"
- February 9, 2012 at 8:58 AM
- Ghenet Myrthil said...
I'm also inspired by YA books, and when I read them I always pick up writing tips. :)
- February 9, 2012 at 11:50 AM
- Karen Lange said...
There are a lot of books that inspire me, everything from my WIP genre to books on the craft. I need to lobby for more reading hours in the day. Looking forward to reading about Polly when you bring her around. :)
- February 9, 2012 at 12:59 PM
- Coleen Patrick said...
I read all kinds of books, but in YA John Green's stories usually inspire me, especially Paper Towns because it has just the right mix of humor and depth.
- February 9, 2012 at 1:38 PM
I am inspired by biographies.
James and the Giant Peach inspired me to write for kids.
And I love reading amazingly written novels... That also inspires me.
- February 9, 2012 at 3:33 PM
- Sarah Tokeley said...
I read pretty much anything I can get my hands on. Perhaps this is why I can't settle on a genre for my writing :-)
- February 9, 2012 at 3:59 PM
- Golden Eagle said...
If a book is good, I'll find myself inspired by it. :) Though I love reading non-fiction science books for story ideas.
- February 9, 2012 at 7:38 PM
- Angela Ackerman said...
One book that inspired me was Katherine Langrish's TROLL FELL. The description was so well done. I wish I could write so vividly. :)
- February 9, 2012 at 10:04 PM
- Theresa Milstein said...
Harry Potter is a wonderful example of how to do a series. I think The Hunger Games is a perfect example of how not to do a series. Each book got worse for me. That's inspiration too. I can figure out what went wrong, so I know how I would do things differently. Honestly, I'm shocked about the hype. When the first book is a best book, it makes me have zero interest in seeing the movie.
- February 10, 2012 at 4:54 AM
Awesome answer!
I love the examples you give.
- February 10, 2012 at 2:28 PM

So many inspirations from Three Musketeers to A Million Suns. Hmm, maybe books with numbers in the title work for me.
