Have you ever read the Choose Your Own Adventure book series? They give the reader the delightful power to direct characters through plot twists to their favorite ending.
Unfortunately, we've been hearing from too many authors who consider books anything but a great adventure. When it comes to publishing, they don't feel any sense of control over their own book. Some are staring uncertainly at the options while others are feeling disappointed and disillusioned with their publisher.
It doesn't have to be that way. It shouldn't be that way.
We've seen the guts and dedication it takes to pour your story onto paper. It's time to reclaim your sense of adventure and power in publishing by bringing some clarity to your next step: Choosing your publisher.
Let's take a look at three publishing options. We'll give you a few pros and cons of each path – as well as the two questions that should guide your decision.
Traditional Publishing
This is the traditional way that authors were published before self-publishing came along. In traditional publishing, you take the time to research the publishers that may be interested in your manuscript, send them a query letter, and wait to find out if they will represent your book. An interested publisher will purchase the rights to your manuscript.
Pros: There are big benefits. The publishing house often bears all or most expenses. Also, you and your book have instant credibility as well as an opportunity for broader reach.
Cons: Waiting to hear back from publishing houses can be very time-consuming since it can sometimes take more than six months. And because many people are vying for a chance with them, the odds of being selected are competitive. Most will expect you to approach them through an agent and to be able to prove how you are already a marketable author. Also, the traditional publisher owns the rights, which means they have the control of your book. This impacts the amount of royalties you receive from sales and means that they have the final say on every aspect of the book. They may also have additional stipulations, such as required attendance at book conferences.
At the other end of the spectrum is self-publishing. With this option, you own the rights to your book and are responsible for every aspect of the project. This path is available to any author who wants to be the publisher of his own book.
Pros: With the development of Printing on Demand (POD), publishing is now easily accessible to any author. You no longer have to wait on traditional publishing houses to see your book in print. The main benefit of this path is retaining control of your book. You call the shots on what it says, what it looks like, and when it is published.
Cons: The downside to making every decision on your own is that you may not be making the best decisions. This path can also feel pretty confusing and overwhelming at times because of the hundreds of big and small decisions and research that come with creating a book on your own. Some online platforms don't allow you to speak directly with your editor or formatter, which means things can get lost in translation. Unfortunately, a tell-tale sign of a self-published book is when quality is sacrificed for the sake of the budget. For this reason, readers can often spot a "do it yourself" book and won't take the writing seriously. This takes away from your credibility and can hurt your marketing efforts.
Assisted Self-Publishing
This is what we call our model. We're a book publishing team that manages the self-publishing process on behalf of our authors, from editing, formatting and cover design to printing, distribution and some marketing. We bridge the gap between the two options so that self-published authors have some of the benefits of being represented by a publishing house. We'll tell you the pros and cons of our approach, but when you're contacting assisted publishers, be sure to ask a lot of questions because each company does things a little differently.
Pros: This option is for authors who are ready to begin the process toward publishing a manuscript – and who want collaborative guidance on how to do it. We advise you on the best choices for your book, providing honest feedback and other considerations. It's an intimate process with a lot of back-and-forth on ideas and details. You retain control of the process and the book while relying on experts for quality work. This collaboration impacts your marketing efforts because the public sees that you're more than a "one-man band" – your book cover and marketing materials show that you're backed by a publishing company.
Cons: Engaging a project manager throughout the process makes this option more costly than self-publishing on your own. Also, an assisted publisher may share in book earnings, so be sure you're comfortable with company policies. And while some assisted publishers have an audience, you're still essentially a self-published author and may not achieve the same reach as in traditional publishing.
Two Important Questions
As you consider your publishing options, it's time for some self-reflection. Ask yourself these two questions:
▪ What are my short-term goals? That is, what do I want to happen within the first year that the book is published?
▪ What are my long-term goals? What do I envision for my book 10 years from now?
Now prioritize your list of goals to find out which you value most. For example, some authors value wide audiences and sales while others value a legacy they can pass to their children. Still others want to publish as inexpensively as possible. When you're honest with yourself, your goals will point you to the type of publisher that is right for you.
Now that you have some clarity on the paths to publishing, you can take your next step with confidence. Choose your own adventure!

After my morning and early afternoon appointments, I walked into my office, which is where the gerbils live, and I found two of the girls, Scissorpaws and Jefferie, scuffling and covered in blood. COVERED in blood. Because I'm smart, I broke up their fight with my hand.
That wasn't the bite that caused all my bleeding though.
I knew I had to separate the two fighters, so I tried to pick up Scissorpaws to put her in my gerbil travel cage and that is when I got the bite that caused all my bleeding.
I called to Sam to bring me the phone and a towel for my finger and I was covered in blood and the gerbils were covered in blood and I did a really goddamn good job of traumatizing my first born, so let's just call that a win, okay?
Then I had to make an emergency call to the vet. Ironically, when the vet receptionist asked, "Is this an emergency or can I ask you to hold?" I told her I could hold because I evidently am not willing to admit I am making an emergency call even if I am making an emergency call.
I panicked a little when I was trying to figure out how to get both animals to the vet without creating a tiny cage match in my car because I only have one travel cage. Sam is the brilliant one who suggested I put one of them in Tupperware. He's smart. And level-headed.
I used scissors to stab air holes in the lid though—AND I did it BEFORE I put the gerbil in it—so I'm not completely useless.
|This is after they came home from the vet. There was a lot less blood by this point.
I was sitting in the waiting room at the vet hospital when it occurred to me that a gerbil bite might be, you know, bad for me as well as the gerbils. I texted my sister the doctor to ask her how likely it was that I would die from a gerbil bite and she told me that it was likely and I should get treated.
I found this upsetting, but reasonable.
I left the gerbils with the vet, who was giving them fluids and anti-inflammatories and antibiotics and pain medicine because those poor little guys were ripped up. They really did a number on each other. Also, If we were to determine how much money I spent per ounce of gerbil on this visit, well, let's just say I was already depressed enough and also unable to count that high in my semi-agitated state.
Happily, all the treatment those little guys needed gave me ample time to, you know, get a tetanus shot.
Before I was able to go to a human doctor though, I had to go to the pet store to get new gerbil cages because clearly these two gerbils will never be able to live together again and also I can't trust them with Jetpack, who remained unscathed through the great Gerbil Fiasco of 2015.
Then I waited at an urgent care clinic for an hour and a half for a doctor to confirm that I had, in fact, been bitten by a gerbil and should get a tetanus shot. It then took six minutes for a nurse to give me said tetanus shot and put a bandaid on my finger.
The gerbils still weren't ready, even though they'd been at the vet for three hours, so I drove home and assembled my new gerbil cages. Then I went to the vet to trade a million dollars for my damaged gerbils and their medicines, which need to be administered via teensy syringes twice a day for ten days.
I very carefully put the gerbils in their new cages, which turned out to be veeeeeery interesting to the cats.
|I put them way back on a shelf, surrounded by books so the cats couldn't push them off of the shelf.
Guess what happened right after I did this?
It turns out when you purchase
I heard a crash and ran into the office to find that the cats had knocked Jefferie's cage to the ground and the poor gerbil, although still safely in the cage, thank God, was presumably not very happy, so I moved the new cages with their new residents to my bedroom behind a now permanently closed door so the cats don't use them as maracas.
Thus far I've administered medicine to them twice and no one has been bitten, which, yay! I also haven't developed tetanus, so I feel pretty good about that, even if my arm hurts where I got the shot.
Both Jefferie and Scissorpaws seem to be doing okay, although they are pretty beat up. Poor kiddos. I have no idea what set them off. But silver lining, at least now we get to hear the scribble scrabble of gerbil paws on plastic all night long, so there's that.
Fingers crossed for a quick and pain-free recovery for them. I think this incident may have scared me straight from getting new rodents for a while.

Wellness Wednesdays: Wireless Edition Pt. 2!!!
2 comments:
Hi Lance I am just responding to your post on the acor listserv. As you and your mother prepare for her stem cell transplant I thought you might be interested in reading some parts of my blog. I am a 45 yr. old woman I was diagnosed with mm 10/08. I had tandem transplants one in January of 09' and one in April 09' I blog about them at howtomoveamountain.blogspot.com Both transplants were started as an outpatient. However the second one was tougher as I was admitted to the hospital for two weeks due to infections. Your mother can get through this!! especially with your support. She will be very weak for a while. I was in complete remission after the second transplant and am now on Maintenance chemo. Have finished 9months of 12 months protocol. good luck to you both. I jsut thought you might like to read of my experiences since they were both different. Take Care, KrisReplyDelete
Kristine! My apologies for such a delay in response! I have been SUPER busy with the MAM event!!! (If you have a facebook account, PLEASE join and encourage others to do so! We must spread awareness of this little-known disease! Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=122041064482879 ). i will take a look at your blog FOR SURE! Thank you for your support! and can I just say...I LOVE the title of your blog! (Secretly, I am jealous I did not come up with it...ok, not so secret anymore).ReplyDelete
And congratulations! Remission is probably THE most beautiful word in the English language, aside from C.U.R.E! I am truly and sincerely happy for you :) It warms my heart to read such inspirational stories.

This is a fun little song about a little rabbit hiding behind a cabbage and teasing the farmer to come find him.
I turned it into a "jeu de main" (hand game) because it's been a while since we've done one and the kids loved it!
Here's the video and lyric sheet.

Box Top Fitted!
Originally uploaded by Cathymk.
At the moment it is attached with sticky tape – I think it would be better glued down. I hate the idea of glue, but I do think it would be best in this case. Martina the designer has suggested adding some twisted cord around the edge and I may do that.
What next? I have the part with the design for a band for the inside of the box and another 2 parts which comprise a tape measure cover. There will be a new part to this project next month. Wonder what to expect? I think there is supposed to be a pouch for WIPs.
I've also been working on my Ornament for the Christmas ornament exchange on the Stitching Bloggers Exchange Board. It's fun and not as fast a stitch as I thought it would be. This ought to keep me occupied for the rest of the weekend.

Yes, the pictures are "after" the Willem van de Velde de Oude drawings
As with my past work, which can be seen at Kentishknock.com, these pictures are "after" the drawings of Willem van de Velde de Oude.
The Battle of Dungeness picture
I believe that the ship to the left, firing at Blake's flagship was the Campen (40 guns). The Campen was a new ship that had been built earlier in 1652. Joris van der Zaan was the captain of the Campen from September 1652 to the first day of the Three Days Battle (the Battle of Portland) when he was killed. At this date, the Campen still had 4-24pdr guns, a lower tier of 12pdr guns, with the rest being 6pdrs.

The Dutch fleet right before the Battle of Scheveningen
One list of the Dutch fleet that I have is dated 1 August 1653. That is just nine days prior to the Battle of Scheveningen (the Zeeslag bij Ter Heide) on 10 August. The list has ship names, captains, guns, sailors, and soldiers listed. The list is slightly odd in that it was compiled right after some ship changes were made and does not totally reflect them. For example, Cornelis Evertsen de Jonge was flag captain for Johan Evertsen on the new Vlissingen (50 guns, 150 sailors, and 55 soldiers). The West Cappel and the Vlissingen are both listed with Cornelis Evertsen de Jonge. There are some striking features, such as a Middelburg Directors' ship named Bonaventura not being listed. The only new Middelburg Directors' ship was that of Cornelis Tiebij. The name and details are omitted from this list. The list does not actually say which city hired each of the Zeeland Directors' ships.

Lists of ships at the Battle of Scheveningen
I have lists of ships from right before and right after the Battle of Scheveningen (the Zeeslag bij Ter Heide). One curious fact is that I do not see the collection of odd ships that I had thought were in the battle. I was printing the pages with lists last night, so I had a fresh copy with the reference on the pages. For example, while the Roosencrans (44 guns) is there, I did not see the Bonaventura, said to have been hired by the Middelburg Directors. The Bonaventura was the captured English hired merchantman Anthony Bonaventure, captured at the Battle of Dungeness.

One disappointment
I am amazed and disappointed that I still don't have a good list of the Dutch fleet for the Three Days Battle (the Battle of Portland). Even for the Battle of the Kentish Knock, I only have an approximate list. One exists, apparently, but I don't have it yet. Probably the best lists that I have are for the Battle of the Gabbard and the Battle of Dover. I have a pretty good list for the Battle of Scheveningen. I have a good list for the voyage to the Shetlands in July and August 1653. I have only partial information about the fishery protection squadron that was attacked on 22 July 1652. We can hope that the missing information exists somewhere and just has not been found yet, but some of it may just not exist any more.

So, what ship would Bartel Simonszoon have commanded on 12 June 1653?
Perhaps it is all a mistake, but there are several sources that say (perhaps not independenty) that Bartel Simonszoon commanded an Amsterdam Directors' ship that carried 30 guns and had a crew of 120 men. The easy answer is that he is a duplicate with misspelling of Barent Timonsz Soudaen, who commanded the ship Gulden Pelicaen in the Battle of the Gabbard (the Zeeslag bij Nieuwpoort). I have known about this for almost a year, but have been concerned about the "easy answer", because there is a list from 24 June 1653 that gives the crew, as well as the number of guns. Of course, the ship name is omitted. Witte de With's journal gives the guns and crew for "Bartimeus Soudaen's" ship as 30 guns and 120 men, so perhaps there really is a duplicate entry in the status report about the Zeeslag bij Nieuwpoort.

The Dutch fleet lying off Vlissingen on 23 June 1653
Perhaps two-thirds of the Dutch fleet lay off Vlissingen after the Battle of the Gabbard that was fought over 12 and 13 June 1653. We have several lists dating from about 23 June 1653 that list the ships. A few ships were at Goeree and about one third of the fleet lay in the Texel Roads. That was where Witte de With was after the battle. He was apparently the senior naval officer present at the Texel. I can only imagine what the fleet lying off Vlissingen looked like. I assume, from maps that I have seen, that they fleet lay no farther west than Vlissingen and were mostly anchored from there and farther from the open sea.
Monday, April 07, 2008
I was just looking at a document from July 1652 that confirms what I determined by analysis about Rotterdam ships in June 1652:

My Dutch family connection
I have started doing genealogical research at Ancestry.com. I found out tonight that I seem to have a Dutch ancestor: Matilda Lemon, born in 1812. One 19th Century census says that Solomon Beardsley's mother was born in "Holland". Her name was Matilda Lemon and she was married to Elijah Hubble Beardsley. She died relatively young, in 1860.

Discover the ancient technique of encaustic painting. Made of beeswax, damar resin and pigment, it is recognized for its luminous layering capacity to build rich surfaces. The process involves heat fusing layers of paint together to create smooth and textured finishes. Basic techniques are covered in this workshop including incising, transfers and stencils.


text: HPC 0 #1 November 11, 2017 This post is directed to current and former riggers. A "yes" or "no" answer, along with a reason would be much appreciated. Please read carefully and try to stay on subject. Would you repack a reserve in a Racer rig? For the sake of argument (and to avoid re-addressing an old thread) please assume no dual RSL; either no RSL at all or single-sided set up per manufacturer's instructions. Also assume the rig is in excellent condition, and no more than a few years old. Finally, please assume the reserve is a currently-made PDR. The reason I ask is because not too long ago someone in the NW was trying to sell a Racer. He was very honest and said that the reason was because he couldn't find a rigger in the NW that would repack his reserve. We all know that the Racer is the only currently-manufactured rig in the US that uses a fully external reserve pilot chute. To the best of my knowledge, it's also the only one with a 2-pin reserve. Please keep replies in line with the question at hand. No comments regarding the Racer's looks or differences with other rigs unless it has to do with the reserve container. Also, please no comments on cost-of-ownership due to 2-pin reserve as it relates to AADs. Those of you who've been in the sport for any length of time know that jumpers seem to either love or hate this particular rig, for various reasons including the reserve system, rig's appearance, etc. Thanks.What's right isn't always popular and what's popular isn't always right.

Ever since Absolut Vodka started handing out big piles of cash to every member of hipster movie royalty they could get their hands on, more and more brands are trying to get in on the indie bandwagon. Here's Nike's attempt: a feature-length documentary about Brazilian culture (seems to be mostly football) by relatively unknown filmmaker Daren Bartlett.
It looks quite slow.

6. Zhengbang Frequently Asked Questions
Can you supply tarpaulins with specified size and weight?
Yes. We can manufacture with particular sizes and weight, but your order should be at least 10 ton, otherwise there will be too much waste in lamination. Our lead time is generally 1 month upon receiving your deposit, and minimum quantities will apply; please contact us for details. For immediate requirements, we can supply you with ready-made tarps in very rare occasions.
Why is there a seam on my cover?
There are seams on most tarps as in most cases only 1 piece without welding other pieces can hardly fabricate a tarpaulin of specified sizes. On some of the smaller tarps with sizes of 1 direction less than the width of woven fabric rolls, a seam may not be necessary.
Do you offer a guarantee to the lifespan of your tarpaulins?
No. Because tarpaulins are subject to different weather and put to so many different applications, the length of time can't be guaranteed. Generally speaking, a heavier grade tarpaulin and/or tarpaulin with UV stabilizer may last longer than an economy grade tarp.
We cannot be held responsible for damage caused by wear and tear, or degradation through UV. Please also bear in mind that eyelets can come under a lot of pressure, and so any stress points should be reinforced. Even for heavy duty tarps, no guarantee is given to the eyelets. Please also avoid any sharp edges and constant friction, because this can reduce the lifespan of your tarps.
What intervals are the eyelets? Can I have smaller intervals?
Eyelets are on all 4 sides and spaced all around the hemmed edges with about 1 meter interval, or 1 feet or as per customer specification. However the cost might be a little higher if you want smaller intervals.
How long can I receive my order?
Generally standard orders of 1x40' container are up to 5-7 working days to load the containers from date of order, but since there are also other orders, you may have to wait, and the general lead time is about 1 month.
Are your tarpaulins guaranteed?
Yes, all our products are frequently tested in the process of production, and are guaranteed to be free from defect at the time of purchase. Therefore if your tarp has a defect due to a manufacturing fault, please report such problems to us with a digital photograph of the fault However, we will not accept any responsibility for the misuse of our tarps for warranty claims.
The tarpaulin I received is shorter than the size stated.
There are cut size and finished size in tarpaulin industry. Cut size is the industry's standard way to manufacture tarps. When you lay an order of tarpaulins, e.g., 4m x 5m, we cut the woven fabrics rolls into 4m x 5m cloth, with many pieces combined, and that is the cut size. This material is then made into a tarpaulin. However, in the process of making the hems you will have to fold about 5 cm on each side, and every time when welding two pieces together another 5 cm will be consumed, and that makes the finished size at least 10 cm shorter than cut size.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept TT and LC payment. The payment is usually 30% deposit and balance at sight of B/L.

DECATUR, Ga. – With a 65-54 victory over four-seed Agnes Scott in the Great South Athletic Conference (GSAC) Championship, third-seeded Pine Manor won its first-ever women's basketball conference title and just the second conference championship in any sport.
Junior captain Alexis Lee (Akron, Ohio), who averaged 12.5 ppg and hit a big three to get her team into the title game, was named the GSAC Tournament MVP.

Senior Natasia Franklin (Windsor, Conn.) helped extend her final season with a team-leading 17 points. Freshman Erica Jones (Atlanta, Ga.) contributed nine points and had a team-high eight rebounds.
The Scotties got a big contribution from sophomore Brittany Howard (Winterville, Ga.) who had a game-best 18 points. Howard and classmate Miranda Arnold (Kennesaw, Ga.) each had a nine rebounds, a game-high.
The Gators jumped out to an early four-point lead as they spread the ball around with four of the five starters each contributing points.
Agnes Scott tied the game at nine when Howard made a layup, but the Gators responded with an 8-0 run that was capped off with a three-pointer from Shaquanda Middleton (Savannah,Ga.).
Pine Manor was able extended the lead to ten halfway through the period as Franklin drained a pair of free throws.
Coming out of the break Jones made a layup to extend the Gator lead to five, then the Scotties went on a run. They scored the next six points and took their first lead since the opening possession when sophomore Care Bacon (Ellenwood, Ga.) hit a jump shot.
The next six minutes were tightly contested with Pine Manor clinging to a one-point, 45-44 lead. The Gators then scored the next nine to extend their lead back to 10. Bacon scored to end the run, but freshman Sabrina Vail (Lowell, Mass.) responded with basket from downtown to give the Gators their biggest lead of the afternoon, 57-46.
Pine Manor answered almost every shot the Scotties made down the stretch. They stormed the court as time expired to celebrate their historic accomplishment.
The Gators will find out who they will play in the first round of the NCAA tournament on during Monday's selection show at 2:30 p.m. It will be streamed live and can be viewed here.

R. Jonah ben Elijah Landsofer, (1678–1712), rabbi and author, an opponent of the Shabbateans. R. Landsofer lived in Prague and, like his father and grandfather, was a professional scribe. It has been suggested that his name Landsofer ("scribe of the province") refers to his occupation, his real family name being Bunzlau after the town where the family originated. Landsofer was a versatile personality, and studied both Talmud and Kabbalah. He was sent to Vienna by his teacher, Abraham Broda, to engage in disputations with the Shabbateans. Only some of his works have been published, among them Me'il Zedakah (Prague, 1757), responsa; Benei Yonah (ibid., 1803), a comprehensive work on all the rules of writing of the Sefer Torah, and the importance of its being written elegantly (in one place the author writes at length on bibles printed by gentiles, "which Jews do not refrain from reading," and concludes that they should be discarded); Kanfei Yonah (ibid., 1812); novellae on the Shulhan Arukh, Yoreh De'ah, up to chapter 110. In his Me'il Zedakah, he mentions his Me'orei Or on matters connected with the Sefer Torah, which was never published. At the end of Me''il Zedakah there are notes to Euclid, proof of the author's wide interests. His ethical will, first published in Derekh Tovim (Frankfort, 1717), reflects his piety and exceptional humility. Despite his premature death, he was regarded as one of the outstanding scholars of Prague.
R. Moses ben Menahem Graf (also known as Moses Praeger; 1650–1700/1710), kabbalist born in Prague. After the conflagration in the Prague ghetto (1689), Moses moved to Nikolsburg (Mikulov), where he studied under the kabbalist R. Eliezer Mendel b. Mordecai. He was given lodging and support by R. David Oppenheim, who, like R. Samson Wertheimer of Vienna, encouraged the publication of his writings. Leaving Nikolsburg, Moses attempted to settle in various European cities, reaching Fuerth in 1696 and Dessau in 1698. It is not certain whether he died there or whether he returned to Prague in his later years. R. Graf's published works include: Zera Kodesh, a kabbalistic work with an appendix describing the exorcism of a dibbuk in Nikolsburg (Fuerth, 1696); a second edition, without the dibbuk story, was published by R. Simeon b. David Abiob of Hebron, together with his Bat Melekh (Venice, 1712; reprinted Munkacz, 1893); and Va-Yakhel Moshe, a kabbalistic discussion of various portions of the Zohar and of the Adam de-Azilut, with a special commentary on the latter concept entitled Masveh Moshe, introduced and annotated by R. Samuel b. Solomon Kohen, cantor in Brody (Dessau, 1699). In this last work Moses often criticizes the teachings of R. Moses Cordovero and his followers.
Rabbenu Asher is a significant personality in the development of Jewish law. The outstanding student of and successor to R. Meir of Rothenberg (Maharam) as the leader of German Jewry, Rosh left Germany in 1303 for Spain due to the persecution of the Jews in the former land. He initially stayed at the home of R. Solomon Adret (Rashba) in Barcelona, moving, in 1305, to Toledo, where he became the head of the rabbinic court. More than 1,200 of Rosh's responsa are extant, answering inquiries from as far as Russia. Rosh's authoritative halakhic rulings in his Piskei ha-Rosh were codified by his son, R. Jacob ben Asher (Tur) in the Arba'ah Turim.

On the 29th December 2009 I removed my false nails and decided it was time to sort out my fingers. You can find my first post HERE
My nails were awful. truly awful. Look!
I think I can probably stop blogging about my progress now. 🙂
Lemony Flutter is great but if I stop using it my cuticles suffer immediately.
OPI Nail Envy, I'm sure it worked and helped strengthen my poor nails, but I stopped using it when I realised it was that causing all my China Glaze application problems. I've had no further issues since I switched to cheapy Boots 17 Strengthening Base Coat.
Yes I know my polish is streaky.
Congrats on the nails. Such a great improvement! I've got Lush's Lemny Flutter and love it.
Wow that stuff does the job well!
well done! they look lovely!
totally forgot about the new mac collection… if my bf buys it, it doesnt count right? and as we talked about the transdesign split BEFORE P10P that doesnt count either… plus im helping you out so its not an entirely selfish purchase….
'who are you trying to convince, me or yourself?'
yes yes, i kno.
Wow, they look really brilliant, well done! You should be very proud of yourself 🙂
Thats crazy-amazing!! My cuticles are so bad right now…we have to use bleach-water at work and its killing my hands. I might have to pick this up XD
Big improvement! What are you using on your cuticles? I've been trying a nail oil from Sephora, but it doesn't seem to be doing much.
Thank you everyone. 🙂
Kiradris, just Lush Lemony Flutter, all the time at first and now when I remember, but at least once a day.

Wherein I decided just now to have a semi—regular feature where I say a hearty "Fuck You!" to legitimate targets of my "Fuck You"edness. Let me know if you would like this feature I instantly made up to continue. It'll be like Andy Rooney griping, but with more swearing.
Entry 1: Movie theatres and their un-cinephile commercial reasons for limiting a good movie's run.
I was looking forward to seeing the Roger Ebert doc, Life Itself. I only have one independent/art house theatre in my area, and I have to drive about ten minutes to another city to see that, even though I live in L.A (because the central planners who designed the city were drunk that day). So when the movie opened there two weeks ago, I knew I was risking it by not going that weekend. Then I knew I was further risking it by not going last weekend, when it still was on. I thought everybody loved Roger Ebert, and so the film playing at that only location, servicing four cities, really, would attract enough people to keep it going for a while. But, nope. I look up the theatre's page and the movie's gone. Now, if I want to see it, I'll have to drive 25 miles on the freeways to an area I don't even know (did I mention L.A is huge and has no central plan?). And yet, Earth to Echo and Maleficent are playing at multiple different theatre chains around me. One is even playing Dinesh D'Souza's America. At least Boyhood is playing at my regular art house. I better see that this weekend, or else I might miss it.
So a big fuck you to the state of the movie industry—studio and distribution—for this shitty state of affairs.

Update (11.16.16): The Browns have lost again. This weekend they host the Pittsburgh Steelers. If Cleveland falls they'll be 0-11 for the first time in franchise history and the first time any team has lost eleven straight to start a season since the 2011 Colts.
An 0-16 season is becoming a real possibility. The only team to accomplish that sad feat is the 2008 Lions. To avoid ending up like Detroit, Cleveland will need to win one of its remaining six games.
The team's best chance comes in Week 14. The Browns will be coming off a bye at home against the Bengals. Cleveland has a 29.0% chance to beat Cincinnati.
Overall, there is a 24.3% chance the team goes 0-16. Up from 4.8% just a month ago.
Bookmaker Paddy Power is offering a prop bet on the Browns going winless. You can cash in on their misery at 7/4 odds if you believe 0-16 is a possibility. However, the implied odds suggest there is a 36.4% chance Cleveland remains defeated at the end of the season. So even in futility, there is no value betting the Browns.
Browns vs. Steelers
There is a Pro System trend for this game that is 135-85 (61.4%) ATS.

Original (10.11.16)
Charlie Whitehurst is in at QB.
— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) October 9, 2016
That one tweet sums up the Browns' quarterback situation and season.
Cleveland began the year with Robert Griffin III calling the plays but he suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1 that placed him on injured reserve. Journeyman Josh McCown took over the starting job but he also got shelved with a shoulder injury.
Rookie Cody Kessler was the next man up and looked competent in three starts before rib and chest injuries forced him from the game against the Patriots last week. Enter Clipboard Jesus. Charlie Whitehurst filled in for Kessler but was knocked out of the contest with a knee injury.
The Browns have subsequently cut Whitehurst and elevated rookie quarterback Kevin Hogan from the practice squad. At this time we do not know who will start Sunday against Tennessee. Whoever does play quarterback for Cleveland will be the 27th different starter for the Browns since 1999.
Cleveland is now 0-5 and a rebuilding season is spiraling out of control.
Will the Browns go 0-16?
After 10,000 simulations of the 2016 season, there is a 4.8% chance that Cleveland goes winless.
The probability of Hue Jackson's squad losing every game this season is similar to the team's chances of winning five games (7.6%), which is something the Browns have only managed to do twice in the last five years.
Cleveland's failures are all too familiar. Since returning to Northeast Ohio in 1999, the Browns have only two winning seasons and one playoff appearance.
A return to the postseason is a ways off. Cleveland has dropped seven straight and 14 of 15 dating back to last season. An 0-16 season isn't likely but it isn't improbable either.

His dark hair has long since turned white. The years have accentuated his features, and sunken eyes surrounded by deep, dark circles betray a lifelong anguish.
His dark hair has long since turned white. The years have accentuated his features, and sunken eyes surrounded by deep, dark circles betray a lifelong anguish.
But after 47 years, former Secret Service agent Clint Hill says he has become convinced that he could not have prevented President John F. Kennedy's assassination in Dallas.
A dozen years after Kennedy was killed, Hill expressed his guilt in a brutal, emotional 1975 interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes for not climbing aboard the president's limousine more quickly to shield him from the fatal shot.
"Had I turned in a different direction, I'd have made it," said Hill, who had just retired for health reasons at age 43. "It's my fault. And I'll live with that to my grave."
He subsequently withstood many difficult years, including bouts with alcoholism and pills, before taking hold of his life. After two trips to Dallas - with his wife in 1990 and fellow former agents last June - and spending hours in Dealey Plaza, Hill no longer feels that way.
"I came to the conclusion that I did the best I could, and there was nothing more I could have done that day," he said during a panel last week at Georgetown University that previewed The Kennedy Detail, a book and television documentary in which Hill joins other members of Kennedy's protective detail in telling their version of that day's events.
On Monday, the documentary will air on the Discovery Channel on the anniversary of Kennedy's death.
They're speaking out now, former ageny Jerry Blaine said, to counter the increasing belief that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a larger conspiracy when he killed Kennedy.
"Over 47 years, there has not been a single bit of evidence to show that it was a conspiracy," said Blaine, who helped advance Kennedy's ill-fated Texas visit. "If we don't speak up and put a balance to this, history would never know exactly what happened."
The book contains previously unpublished nuggets, such as the incident at 2:15 the next morning when Blaine, on duty at Lyndon Johnson's Washington home, thought he heard an intruder and found himself pointing a loaded submachine gun at the new president.
But the heart of the story is their detailed description of one day in Dallas.
As Kennedy's car crept through downtown's crowded streets, Hill scanned the crowd from the running board of the follow-up car; Kennedy had barred agents from the back of his limousine. Suddenly, Hill heard "a loud, explosive noise to my right rear." He jumped down and ran toward Kennedy's moving car, never hearing Oswald's second shot.
"When I got to the president's vehicle, just as I approached it, the third shot rang out, hitting the president in the head, just above the right ear," he said. "It left a hole about the size of my palm."
He climbed aboard the trunk, pushing Jacqueline Kennedy onto the seat. Seeing the extent of the president's wounds, he signaled thumbs-down to the follow-up car "so that they knew the situation was dire."
At Parkland Hospital, the first lady initially refused to leave the limousine until Hill covered Kennedy's comatose body and bloody head with his jacket.
Though many details had been told before, the story remains riveting, especially for those of us who vividly remember that day.
The situation an inadequately staffed Secret Service faced in Dallas, Blaine notes, was one Kennedy himself once cited as when he'd be most vulnerable. "The one thing we always feared was somebody in a window hidden away with a rifle, which is what happened," he said.
For years, the agents never discussed the assassination among themselves. But after reconnecting at a 1990 San Antonio meeting, Hill returned to Dallas, where he says in the book he first "realized that, even had he been on the back of the president's limousine, Oswald would have hit the president."
It remains one of our era's seminal moments. "Everything changed," Hill noted last week. "The age of innocence just died right there."

In this third instalment of Neesons' "state of the nation 2017" video series, realtime captioning/CART is highlighted.
Like so many things, realtime captioning/CART (Computer Access Realtime Reporting) has really progressed in the last 20+ years. When Neesons first started providing realtime captioning, using an LCD projector with enhanced fonts was a really big deal. There was little that could be changed back in those days, so if you wanted captioning in a room, you needed a good front seat!

I was referred to Nigel by another of his satisfied clients. We were re-structuring the finance for our rental properties and also buying a new house for our family.
I had a detailed spreadsheet including cashflow for our 2 businesses as well as the rest of our finances. Nigel took the time to get to know us and understood all the details, including some suggestions for improvement.
He then obtained favourable rates and the finance we needed.
We found Nigel a pleasure to deal with and can recommend him if you are looking for good advice and expertise in addition to finance.

I was a bit apprehensive at first about using a mortgage broker for my refinancing but Lauren has completely changed my view! From my first meeting with her it was clear that we were going to get on well.
The whole process was so simple and I had to do very little except provide her with the necessary paperwork - which was all done by email, so convenient! She organised absolutely everything including changing the security details with my insurer.
I said to her more than once "Where's the catch, it seems too easy?" It turns out there was no catch - it's just the way she operates. The whole process was seamless and everything went off without a hitch.
I honestly can't say enough good things about Lauren and how effortless she made this experience for me. I've already referred her to a work mate of mine and I'm sure she's also going to be raving about her very soon.
Thank you so much Lauren!!!
Shamilla - North Shore
'As a complete newbie to the ways a mortgage can be tailored, I can honestly say that without Lauren's expertise I would still be battling away with the banks. Lauren has a great understanding of how the banking system works and always goes over and above to get things across the line for me, often under very tight time frames. I therefore have no hesitation recommending Lauren for anything to do with your mortgage needs.'
Phil Hodder
'A quick note to say thank you once again, the level of expertise and service provided has made buying my first investment property relatively easy (well, much easier than I had anticipated after some conversations direct with the banks.) I've recommended you to all my family and friends.Thanks again Lauren you're a superstar.'
Tony – Mt Eden
'We thought our existing bank would show us some loyalty when our mortgage came up for renewal as we had banked there for 12 years, however the interest rates they offered to us were very disappointing. Our friend recommended we contact Joel as he had got them a great deal. Joel worked his magic with the big banks and gave us 3 offers to choose from that ended up saving us over $3600 a year in interest. Joel really had our best interest at heart and we have recommended him to our friends and family who all say the same thing, professional, efficient and made it seem so easy and hassle free'
Stevie & Amanda – Ponsonby
'I wouldn't be in the position I am in now if it wasn't for Joel's advice, support and encouragement. He helped me purchase my first home 4 years ago which I was quite nervous about but he was always there when I had a question to be answered. Now I am the proud owner of not only my new (nicer) house but 2 rental properties and I am pre-approved to buy my 3rd. Joel was generous enough to pass on his knowledge, experience and his contacts to me like my Accountant and Solicitor which made everything so easy. I recommend Joel to anyone who is looking for a Broker that genuinely cares about his customers'
Samantha - Takapuna
'We got there in the end didn't we. Thank you Tristan Stewart for getting this past the line, I know I can be a right pain in the behind at times and demanding - with 10 million expectations, however, you have done everything possible to remain cool, calm and collected. I have really appreciated your patience with me and the fact that you always put me on to people who offer excellent service. For that I am ever so grateful, I don't have time to muck around, I have a lot going on with work, kids and our rental investments and you have made the process extremely smooth. Your service is impeccable!
Thank you ever so much, you are definitely one of the best brokers I have ever come across….and I have definitely dealt with a few!'
Tapere Hewett-Kaulima
'As a female on my own, buying my first property was a daunting task. Going to open homes every weekend and not really knowing how to progress from there almost put me off. I didn't really have any support up here in Auckland so I decided to surround myself with experts. If you are serious about getting on the property ladder and are clueless in this area, I suggest you do the same. The thought of dealing with a number of banks to get a good rate and then trusting them made me nervous. What's more, the time it would have taken me to deal with the bank alone and learn as I went, was not an attractive option. I took valuable advice from friends and got myself a broker to do all the hard work for me as I had enough on my plate and one less job made all the difference. I was lucky enough to make contact with Lauren Young – what a life saver. I really learnt a lot from her, she is very knowledgeable and I got amazing rates and was well looked after. All I needed was a little hand holding. Thanks to Lauren my journey was much easier. I will recommend her to all my family and friends and friends of friends as I know first-hand how tough this property-mortgage game is.'
Martina Rangihuna
'Glenn continues to be a fantastic help. I always recommend him to any friends and family who are looking for a loan.'
Neil and Kerry - Auckland
'Glenn Stanley is professional, polite and a pleasure to deal with. He returns phone calls speedily, takes ownership and exceeds expectations in customer service. We have used him before, which is why we came back to him this time and will continue to do so.'
Nick and Christine - Torbay
'Glenn did not over promise and then under deliver – everything he said he would do he did in a very timely manner and kept me well informed.'
Todd - Auckland

Patriotic party to honor Vietnam-era veterans
Young Americans Overseas (YAO) will play host to the second annual Veteran Fest, a festive patriotic party, on Sunday, Aug. 5 at the Downtown Event Centre (700 Crockett St.) in Beaumont, sponsored by Humana and Marvic International LLC Construction.
The event begins at 2 p.m. and will include a Vietnam Era Veterans Pinning Ceremony at 2:30 p.m. YAO and Humana are commemorative partners for the Vietnam War Commemoration, a federal program established in 2012 by the President and Congress to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, and to thank and honor Vietnam veterans and their family members.
The pinning ceremony is meant to recognize Vietnam veterans and their families for their service. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, 9 million Americans served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War and approximately 7 million are living today.
Veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces between Nov. 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975, regardless of location, are eligible to participate in the ceremony. Family members are recognized as well.
"This is anticipated to be one of the largest pinning ceremonies in Southeast Texas to date," said Dr. Margot Gage, founder and director of Young Americans Overseas. "We do not want to miss anyone, so that if someone knows a Vietnam veteran or is a Vietnam veteran, now is the time to please come forward to get your award from the Department of Defense."
There will be free food along with free drinks at Veteran Fest along with plenty of live musical performances.
The event is also free and open to the public to attend by RSVP by calling (409) 923-0704 or online at www.yaoverseas.org. Priority seating will be given to active-duty military, first responders and veterans. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. Seating is limited.
"Vietnam veterans are the only era veterans that received a traumatic welcome home," said Gage. "Young Americans Overseas decided to have a big party in celebration of Vietnam veterans because Vietnam veterans did not get a proper welcome home."
The mission of Young Americans Overseas (YAO) is to assist young Americans, especially Post 9/11 veterans and their families, with reaching their full potential and traveling abroad. Their goals are to assist Post 9/11 veterans with housing, resources, sponsor youth community engagement programs, and hold special events that inspire, educate and entertain.
Gage, who is also an assistant professor at Lamar University in the Sociology Department, started this nonprofit with her husband, Victor, who was a member of the Royal Netherlands Air Force.
"My father was in the Air Force and I have aunts and uncles who served in Vietnam as well as a number of cousins currently in the military," said Gage. "Although I did not serve myself, I wanted to contribute in my own way. My husband and I started this nonprofit to encourage young people to travel abroad and to assist Post 9/11 veterans with housing upon their separation from the military."
YAO launched the first-ever veteran first housing complex in Jefferson County, and Gage said that 100 percent of the proceeds from Veteran Fest will go toward building Texas's first Women Veteran and Women First Responder Park. In May 2017, YAO held a groundbreaking ceremony at 2390 Linson St. in Beaumont.
Musicians scheduled to perform include John Thibodeaux, Highway Sisters, Byrd Law, Dustin Kelley, John Cessac, Courtney Hale Revia and Wild Rabbit Salad.
This will be the second year for Cessac to perform. Gage said that he has been a great supporter of veterans and was a hero during Harvey as he tirelessly helped rescue those that were flooded.
Thibodeaux, who was deployed to Afghanistan, is a popular artist in the Golden Triangle and has recently announced a new album titled Moments Like This. The record's first single, "Buzzed On Loving You," is currently charting on the Texas Country charts.
"I am performing one of my songs off the new album for Veteran Fest called 'Thank a Soldier'," said Thibodeaux. "I'm honored that I can pay homage, through my music and performance to my fellow veterans and am glad to see them get the recognition they deserve."
Thibodeaux has also been nominated for two Texas Country Music Awards, Emerging Artist of the Year and Cajun Country Artist of the Year.
Special guest speakers have been invited to take part in the festivities including veteran, former sheriff and gubernatorial candidate for Texas Lupe Valdez. Gage also said the Department of Defense will fly keynote speaker Col. Mark Franklin from Washington D.C. to address local Vietnam veterans.
"Humana has a long-standing commitment to the military and veterans, so that's why we felt it was important to be part of this year's Veteran Fest," said Matthew Berg, Humana's Northeast Texas sales manager. "One of the relationships we have is being a commemorative partner to the Vietnam War Commemoration program, which aims to honor those who served during the Vietnam War era. When Vietnam veterans returned to the United States, there were no welcome home ceremonies at airports or other public places as is the case today. This is our opportunity to welcome these veterans home and thank them for their service."
Gage added that it was important to teach the youth about the Vietnam Veterans.
"This is why we are going to have a lot of fun activities for young people including games, petting zoo and face painting," said Gage. "We hope to see young people come out and shake hands with Vietnam Veterans. We've also invited iRule Dance, who is a local youth dancing group, to perform a special dance for Vietnam Veterans. I always try to incorporate Lamar students in all Young Americans Overseas events. This year you will see a number of my past students out there dining and dancing with the Veterans."
Veteran Fest will conclude at 6:30 p.m.

Slammed Society is an event we host throughout the United States that features cars with one thing in common, being low. This year we decided to bring it to Japan and unlike last year when it was solely a Hellaflush Event, we wanted to bring in more styles of how people tune their cars. Hellaflush was a category at the event and lots of people came out to support.
I was able to take some photos from our Slammed Society Japan event before it opened. Please look out for the official video we're going to be releasing very soon here on the site. We had an awesome time there and we hope everyone that joined did as well. Thank you for coming to the event.

Geraldine O'Hara describes her time in Africa treating Ebola in her audio diary.
One day she describes seeing a woman saying goodbye to her son for the last time while her son is being wheeled into another room for treatment.
Her son never comes back, but a young boy starts tagging along with her because he has no one else left.
O'Hara is amazed at the strength of the woman, who immediately after losing her son picks herself and starts caring for someone else's son.

Spyware, Adware, Malware, and Viruses move throughout the internet like the plague: a couple systems get infected, and they become hosts, and then a few more become infected from those couple and it exponentially goes from there. Once your system has spyware in it, the programs these days contact outside sources to download more spyware programs into your system so your system progressively gets worse and worse each day and with each reboot.The longer you wait to get it fixed, the more the spyware downloads into your system and the longer it takes to repair. If you wait more than a month, it's pretty much guaranteed that will have to get the system rebuilt. You should get your PC checked and fixed in less than one week of the suspicious activity in order to drastically reduce your cost of repair.

Patient safety and specifically medical errors have received a great deal of attention over the last decade following the publication of key reports, which identified that patients are harmed every year across the NHS as a result. These reports raised the profile of patient safety within the NHS. However, little was done to address issues of patient safety and harm at an organisational level. Therefore, the Health Foundation (a British charity dedicated to improving the quality of healthcare) in 2005 launched the Safer Patient Initiatives (SPI phase I and phase II) to test ways of delivering safer care on an organisation-wide basis.
The first phase of the study involved four NHS hospitals (one in each country in the UK) and 18 control hospitals over an 18-month period. In an innovative study design, the second phase of the study included nine SPI and nine control hospitals. Quality of care and patient safety improved to the same extent in both intervention and control hospitals. No additional effect of the Safer Patients Initiative could be detected. This could be because of general improvement of patient safety across the NHS as whole, which in turn may have attenuated the incremental effect, making it difficult to detect. Alternatively, the full impact of the safer patient initiative may be observable only in the longer term."
Dr Maisoon Ghaleb, a lecturer in Patient Safety from the School of Pharmacy, was involved in the evaluation of this programme (specifically involved of the assessment of quality of care of patients admitted to these hospitals. It was apparent that quality and safety of NHS care has shown a clear improvement, but this programme had less of an impact on frontline medical staff and clinical outcomes than expected. More information can be obtained in the two large evaluation studies published on bmj.com on Friday 4th February, and The Health Foundation's full report can be seen on www.health.org.uk
Patient safety and adverse events are a key government target optimisation of medicines use across the NHS as highlighted by the Department of Health (equity and excellence: liberating the NHS, 2010).
Currently, the School of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmacy Practice is focusing its research in patient safety including prescribing errors in primary care, medicines related problems (a major cause of Hospital related admissions) in management of elderly patients in hospitals, and human factors involved in clinical handover. The research group work with local NHS trusts to ensure the research impacts on the overall patient safety agenda. The school not only focus on medicines safety but the ever growing challenge of drugs misuse, which impacts through adolescents to adulthood.

The students who shop at your store may feel like a captive audience, but that doesn't mean you should downplay their value as loyal customers. Why not reward them for their loyalty with a program that allows them to accumulate points towards a future purchase? We recently ran a story about how The Phoenix Bookstore did just that.
Is this something your store should consider? Absolutely. Find out why in the following excerpt from an article by Jed Williams and John Swanciger, originally posted on Entrepeneur.com.
The philosophy behind a customer loyalty program is simple: Repeat customers are rewarded and businesses increase sales. It's a basic but powerful strategy.
For instance, My Starbucks Rewards, the coffee giant's customer-retention program, significantly contributes to the company's record growth. Starbucks claims that the program played a key role in its 26 percent rise in profit and 11 percent jump in total revenue in 2013's second quarter fiscal results.
Whether the goal is to continually increase sales or to jumpstart sluggish revenue, customer-loyalty programs appear to have become a staple for many large corporations. But what about small businesses? Manta's and BIA/Kelsey's joint report "Achieving Big Customer Loyalty in a Small Business World" reveals that for early adopters who already have a customer loyalty program in placed, 64 percent of them report it's been effective, meaning it makes more money than costs to maintain it. It's important for business owners to keep in mind that customer loyalty isn't just for big businesses – a well-designed program can help any size business scale and reach new heights.
Here's why customer loyalty programs matter to small business:
A repeat customer gives and gives. Having a customer-loyalty program could help you increase repeat customers, which, in turn could boost your business's revenue. A repeat customer spends 67 percent more on a given purchase than a new customer does. And they should be rewarded for this action, as retaining customers is less costly than acquiring new ones. By providing loyalty programs for current customers, small-business owners are not only saying thank you but are also motivating them to continue to be their brand ambassadors. They can easily spread the word about a business to their professional, personal and social networks, helping small-business owners increase their customer base even more.
Rise above the competition
It can be difficult for a small business to compete with a large brand considering that most large brands have more locations, resources, marketing dollars and the ability to offer lower prices. However, a good customer-loyalty program is an easy way for small businesses to show their personal side and remain competitive in spaces dominated by big business.
For example, many consumers may not love the coffee at a big-brand coffee chain but do love the fact they can earn points through their purchases and save money in the long run. However, it would be very simple and cost effective for a small coffee-shop owner with quality coffee to do the same.
Customer loyalty doesn't cost a fortune. Customer-loyalty programs don't have to drain small businesses' budget. While some corporations spill millions of dollars into loyalty programs, small businesses don't have to follow the same tactic to achieve promising results.
Customer-retention programs are not just for big brand name players. They can provide many benefits for small businesses, such as increasing sales, helping them stand out and developing a stronger relationship with their customers -- and technology is making it easier and cheaper than ever before to launch one.
Does your store offer a loyalty program? Tell us about it in the comments!

text: Hi, I'm relatively new to Erlang, and as a mini project to work on as I learn, I'm writing a simple message queue. I'm having some problems retreiving data from the mnesia table I am using to store my messages. My job records are defined as : -record(job, { id, body, due = 0, priority = 1 }). and after much playing around, the code to retreive the job with the highest priority I have is Q1 = qlc:q([ X || X <- mnesia:table(job)]), Q2 = qlc:sort(Q1, {order, fun(Job1, Job2) -> Job1#job.priority > Job2#job.priority end}), C = qlc:cursor(Q2), R = qlc:next_answers(C,1), I know this is not the most efficient way, but I'm struggling to find a fast way to do this, and this is without also sorting by the due date which I also want to be able to do. In SQL, the query would be something like SELECT * FROM jobs ORDER BY priority, due_at LIMIT 1 which with the right indexing would return a result very quickly even with a large amount of rows. The code above takes a few seconds with 100,000 records in the table. I feel like I'm missing something somewhere, but am running out of ideas. Thanks, Barry
