Autumn is a subtle magician, blending the warmth of October days with cool nights into silvery bands of fog which appear at dawn. Some morning fog hovers over the uplands, twists through its trees and sits in its marshes until the sun burns it away.
Autumn is a subtle magician, blending the warmth of October days with cool nights into silvery bands of fog which appear at dawn. Some morning fog hovers over the uplands, twists through its trees and sits in its marshes until the sun burns it away. Other times, fog curtains rise and vanish before the heat of the day, their disappearance as elusive as an early-morning dream.
One recent Tuesday night as I drove from Plymouth to the Cape and crossed the Sagamore Bridge, fog swirled across the windshield and obscured the curves of Route 6. Suddenly, the rear lights of the cars ahead of me seemed to blink and then went out, like the extinguished candles of a jack o' lantern. As I drove through the thickening darkness, I could barely distinguish the white lines of the highway and recalled fog's conventional description as being "as thick at pea soup." Reflexively I turned on the high beams, then realized what Cape sailors and fisherman caught in fog banks at sea have long understood: that dim light illuminates a focused path far better than bright beams.
About a week later on a gloriously sunny October day around noon as I headed north on Route 149 from Marston's Mills I noticed patches of fog rising from the ground bordering the Cape Cod Airport and the adjacent woods. What, I wondered, caused fog there on an obviously clear, calm day?
Essentially a land cloud, fog appears on the Cape with unceremonious frequency and all too often overstays its visit. At the elbow of our peninsula, it is playfully referred to as "Chatham Mist." So frequently does fog surrounds Nantucket, delaying the arrival and departures of planes and boats, that the island is nicknamed the Grey Lady. Legend tells us that wind, currents and shoals were responsible for the 3,500 shipwrecks that occurred along the backside of Cape Cod near Truro before the construction of the Cape Cod Canal, but fog, too, was to blame.
Before lighthouses, fog horns and GPS, fog inevitably struck terror into sailors because it prevented their ability to spot other vessels, steer clear of shoals and gauge their bearings off-shore. Even today, regardless of the latest electronic navigational devices, fog remains a hazard for sailors, fisherman, pilots and motorists.
Since time immemorial, fog has fascinated human beings. Ancient Greeks thought it belonged to Notus, god of the south wind, who created the changing weather patterns of late summer and early fall. The Tsimshian Indians of the American Northwest considered fog a gift from their goddess Support-of-Sun, who used it to cool the land. Famous novelists like Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Dickens have used fog to create the atmosphere for mysteries and ghost stories. American poets have compared its whimsical appearances to that of the domestic cat. In 1915 American expatriate bard T .S.Eliot wrote" The yellow fog rubs its back upon the window-panes" and "licked its tongue into the corners of the evening." A year later, Carl Sandburg's poem "Fog" described its arrival "on little cat feet...looking over harbor and city/on silent haunches/and then moves on." For all its fanciful literary associations, Cape Codders know that fog can be an unpredictable and often dangerous, hazard, more foe than friend, and rarely as winsome as a household cat.
Scientists have categorized fogs into eleven different types: radiation fog, ground fog, advection fog, sea smoke, precipitation fog, hill fog, valley fog, freezing fog, ice fog, garua fog and artificial fog. Those who frequent the beaches of Cape Cod or sail near the coast are familiar with "sea fog" or "sea smoke," created when salt, released from breaking waves, condenses water and drifts to shore in "banks."
In autumn, fog seen on the uplands of the Cape is typically radiation fog, formed after a calm day when warm air masses come in contact with the cooling ground of night. Closely related to that is ground fog, which, as its name implies, hovers near the earth and leaves most of the sky visible. Often, whatever it is – radiant or ground fog -- those moist, silvery veils seem to appear and disperse unpredictably, reminiscent of the ghosts who walk our neighborhoods on October 31st .
At this writing, heated references to land clouds figure prominently in America's s public conversations over the airways -- especially as we approach the more chilling days of November when voters attempt to penetrate the foggy politics of the coming elections.

If we but believe the Lord's word, [many] are walking in the shadow of eternal death, are already committed to the grave of hell, and liable to be devoured forever by the eternal, unquenchable fire, unless from their hearts they turn unto Christ and his word, repent, and become regenerated, as the Scriptures teach. Therefore, consider seriously the heartrending misery and wretchedness of their poor souls which must live forever, either in heaven or in hell, and strive diligently and faithfully whether they may not yet, in some way, by your faithful ministry of pure love, and by the direction and instruction of the divine word, be rescued and delivered from everlasting destruction, and be made partakers of eternal salvation. – Menno Simons (founder of the Mennonite tradition)
Disclaimer: All dialogue is based on my best recollection and could not possibly be word-for-word exactly what was said. But it's dang close. Unfortunately, I do not record every conversation I have and my memory is that of a thirty-eight year-old with poor diet and exercise habits. Keep this in mind.
I wish I'd been more like the chaplain at Eastern Mennonite University when I was a college pastor. He wasn't afraid of disagrement in the least, no matter what it was about. Instead, he was excited about it, saw opportunity to learn together. "We value dialogue here," he told me before the concert/dialogue in the coffee shop began.
I doubted whether the students would even participate in dialogue. I remember 19. There's no way I would have stood up in public, in front of a crowd, to disagree with somebody. No way.
After a few more songs, I read the words of the young Buddhist written in the school paper. I wasn't sure I understood what she was saying. (That's why, through Facebook, I invited her to attend the discussion or talk with me privately if she preferred.) I asked the students if they could explain her point of view to me. No takers.
I was pretty sure she felt judged by me and my words in chapel, excluded, unloved. I admitted that, for someone who is not a Christian, it must sound incredibly unloving when someone says that apart from Jesus there is no other way to be accepted by God.
But then there's love in that message too. And I'd preached love in chapel. I did it again at the coffeehouse.
I read from Ephesians 2:1-9, which says we're separated from God, deserving of wrath – all of us – but it's God's great love that moves Him to send Jesus, to rescue, reunite us and forgive us.
A brave young woman stepped up to a microphone and asked if I'd read a popular book on Hell called Love Wins. She sweetly – perhaps even apologetically? – wondered how I could believe in a loving God and also that people go to Hell. She seemed, to me, brokenhearted by what the existence of Hell could mean for fellow students she loved. She said she liked the ideas in Love Wins. The God of that book seemed more loving, more lovable. "I just feel like…" she said. "I wonder what your thoughts are."
"What if hell is real?" I asked her. "What if I could prove it? I think we'd still have a problem. Can we really really hate an idea and it still be true? Can we still love God if He does things we don't like at all?"
In high school, I shared, during the first Gulf War, my Dad was on active duty. I was proud of him (still am). My family is full of Christian soldiers I love. I wore an American flag jacket to show my support. I didn't question that war or any other. War was in the Old Testament. America was punishing bad guys and protecting innocent people. God approved. I was sure of it.
Then, after 9/11, lots of Christians of all stripes were talking about the right and wrong of war in the media and I was mad that there was even a debate. I wanted to prove my side right so I started studying the bible, praying, talking to wiser friends, and wound up reading Mennonite writings on non-violence.
I began to have doubts. I fought hard against them.
Mennonites like John Howard Yoder and guys they influenced, like Stanley Hauerwas, made me angry. I scribbled vitriol in the margins of their books. I felt like these men were attacking my country, my family, my God.
I didn't understand how God could be loving and at the same time say we shouldn't stop millions of people from being slaughtered by Hitler, Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
How is that loving?
Common ground.
"Most evangelical Christians in America would have the same problem with Mennonite non-violence that you have with their Hell," I told her.
I wonder if we all have moments when God disappoints us or makes us angry and so we make Him over in our image, to better fit our feelings.
"God knows when I'm disappointed with Him. He hears about it when I'm angry," I confessed. "He can handle it though. And He's patiently taught me, and sometimes I don't like what I learn."
Today, I'm almost certain the Mennonites are right about non-violence. I don't want them to be. And I don't want people to be separated from God now and forever either.
"I've expected His ways to be my ways and His thoughts to always be in line with mine…but the bible says they aren't."
That may have been the sentence that generated the most discussion of the night.

You will agree with me that many PC users in our area are undoubtedly Windows Users. We all know the windows start-up sound and I guess some might have thought of changing the sound before for reasons best known to them, probably because they do not like that sound or just wished to. If you found yourself in this shoe, then this tut. is for you and for those that doesn't care, read on for educational purpose.
So how would you change the windows startup sound? Well there are two ways to change the default start-up sound on windows. The first method makes use of a registry hack, which is definitely something I won't suggest to novice windows users. Since I have been emphasizing on making things easier for you, I would suggest you to make use of the second method, which is very simple and makes uses of a free program called "StartUp Sound Changer" to change the start-up sounds on windows.
Start-up Sound Changer, as the name suggests is a free windows program that is capable of changing Windows Start-up sound without performing any registry hacks yourself (which in maximum cases ends up screwing you Computer).
Using StartUp Sound Changer is very simple, all you need to do is to simply extract the executable(.exe) file to your desktop and run it with administrator privileges. Next you will need to select a sound file for replacing the default startup sound and you are done. The following instructions will guide you through the process of changing the start-up sound on windows using StartUp Sound Changer.
Important: Since windows only allows you to use wav files for system sounds, make sure you convert your sound file to the .wav file format. If you dont have a audio converter, you can make use of this site to convert your sound files online.
- Step 1: Download StartUp Sound Changer from the link provided at the bottom of this article and Run the "StartupSoundChanger.exe" file with administrator privileges. When you Run it, You will see the following interface.
- Step 2: Click on Replace and select the wav audio file that you want to set as the default startup sound for windows. Finally click on Open.
Voila! Now the start-up sound for windows would be changed. Restart your computer and you would be able to hear the new start-up sound set by you.
In case you want to revert back to the default start-up sound, simply run the software again and click on Restore.
Attention: This is definitely the easiest method by which you can change the start-up sound on windows. However the program only supports Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Be warned! You should not try this on Windows 8 as it will mess up your desktop.

$500,000 refurbishment for Gibbs Hill Lighthouse
The Ministry of Government Estates has earmarked $500,000 to refurbish Gibbs Hill Lighthouse.
Work is scheduled to begin next month for the specialised contract but operations will be staggered to accommodate the businesses that operate out of the Southampton facility.
The announcement yesterday by Minister Michael Scott comes in the wake of criticism on the rusted state of the building.
Many of us would be aware of the very public discussion going on about the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse and its state of disrepair. The Ministry committed to a budget to ensure that this major building was placed on our list of upgrades, said Mr Scott.
We determined after the assessment of this work that has to be carried out that sandblasting, scaffolding of the entire building and the placing of sheeting around the lighthouse was going to necessitate the closure of the premises as a matter of safety of patrons of the [gift shop and restaurant] there.
This has largely driven the reason for the delay up until now because we all appreciate that businesses attracting cruise ship visitors to this site has been ongoing and running at pace throughout the summer months during the peak of our tourist season.
Be that as it may I regret that there has been this ongoing state of disrepair of the lighthouse but at the same time we had to balance the needs of the businesses in repairing the building.
The work entails painting the exterior of the lighthouse, sand blasting all metal surfaces and installing a new 48in high guardrail on the observation deck.
Existing washroom facilities will be modernised and expanded and washrooms t hat are accessible to the physically challenged will be added.
The main cottage at the lighthouse and ancillary storage buildings on the site will be upgraded and renovated also, said Mr Scott.
Following an exhaustive assessment two companies specialising in the type of work required have been shortlisted for the contract.
To that end, we have sought quotations from painters and construction companies with expertise and experience in painting and repairing tall steel structures, said the Minister.
I deeply regret that the renovation and rehabilitation work at the lighthouse has not commenced as yet.
However, I am able to confirm that the job of painting the lighthouse has now been tendered and the selection process has been concluded.
The businesses there are not only pleased that we are going to begin next month, but they are also pleased that were going to work in such a way to ensure that the work can be staged and staggered in such a way that the businesses clientele will not be adversely affected right up until December.
This will allow some of the important engagements with the restaurant to take place. I do want to emphasise that the businesses have been great partners with the Government in ensuring that we commence at the earliest possible time to get the job done.
He continued: There is general recognition that in order to complete the required scope of work efficiently, cost-effectively and safely, including the erection of scaffolding and sandblasting, the lighthouse and its grounds will have to be closed to the public.
I am obliged to make the point here that the tendering process and the closure of the lighthouse grounds in order to carry out the works at a time that is convenient to the concessionaires at the lighthouse have contributed significantly to the delayed beginning of the renovation project.
In these circumstances, I am pleased to advise that the work at the lighthouse will commence next month. I am satisfied that the work to be carried out will see the lighthouses speedy return to a condition of excellence about which we all can feel proud.
There can be no doubt that Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, with some of the most stunning views in the world, remains one of the Islands premier tourist attractions.
The Government therefore agrees that every effort must be taken to improve the facility both aesthetically and from a safety and health perspective.
On a separate matter Mr Scott also disclosed that the tendering process for bids to run the cafeteria on the top floor of the Government Administration Building has been extended.
Acknowledging that the response to date has been less adequate, Mr Scott said the process will be extended for 21 days to encourage interested parties to participate and take advantage of this important business opportunity.
Details will be published in the official Government Gazette.

GENE SIMMONS Punisher Bass Reviews
I've been playing for 30 years and have owned many instruments of varying quality.
A KISS fan since the beginning and now a member of a tribute band, I felt I HAD to grab a Punisher as long as the price was right.
A decent bass and definite conversation starter but only at a reasonable price. I feel for anyone who paid over $1200 for it...there are many better basses around for less.EuGENE rated this unit on 2006-10-12.
Purchased this bass on eBay for 1500.00 it had never been played. The bass had to be professionally set up as the neck was back bowed and the strings were on the frets.
Don't believe the hype! The bottom line is that if you are buying this to play than save your money or invest the 1500 in an American Fender, Warwick, Spector...get the point? The first time you touch the signature it will rub off. If you are a collector than have fun! Personally I would go for one of the earlier numbers as they look a lot better than the later ones. I have been a Kiss fan since the 70's & always liked Gene Simmons however this money making scam leaves a bad taste in my mouth.Tom D rated this unit on 2004-06-12.

Issue 18Uncategorized
Taking Pride in Your Religion
Ahhh, June! Time to get your Pride on! Gay Pride celebrations are happening every weekend in the tri-state area and beyond. For those of us who have been around a while (you know who you are!), this era of unprecedented acceptance of gays in the mainstream media, pro sports, politics and entertainment is both humbling and empowering. Today's gay youth will never truly understand the struggles of those who came before them; the drag queens who fought back at Stonewall, the radical dykes whose in-your-face attitudes helped advance women's rights, and those who quietly blended into straight society, changing the public's perception of gays to the point where many of those formerly opposed to the concepts of tolerance and inclusion, became allies to the LGBT community.
Religious Traditions
For many, Pride month is tinged with sadness because, despite advances, they still feel unwelcome in the churches, synagogues or mosques where they worshipped as children.
In the past, being ostracized by one's religious institution could be seen as a generally accepted consequence of coming out. Today, however, GLBT people are reclaiming their place in houses of worship in large numbers. For some, it's the sense of community that comes with membership in a congregation that they want for themselves or their children.
For others, it's a realization that being gay and being religious need not be mutually exclusive. And for many, it's the desire to carry on a family tradition of First Holy Communions, Bar or Bat Mitzvahs and other coming-of-age celebrations and religious holidays and to honor the spiritual origins of holidays like Christmas, Passover and Ramadan.
So, how does a GLBT person reconcile his or her sexuality with the perceived Biblical prohibitions of homosexual identity or expression? For those whose personal religious upbringing puts their or their family member's, sexuality at odds with the core doctrine of their chosen religion, I highly recommend the documentary, "For The Bible Tells Me So." Director Daniel Karslake's award-winning film, takes on Leviticus and some of the other verses of scripture that are often quoted in anti-gay rhetoric espoused by radicals like Fred Phelps as well as those who are sincere in their concern for how GLBT people will be judged by God.
Acceptance of gay people into organized religions has been slowly increasing since the 1970's. "Open and Affirming," a term used to describe gay-inclusive congregations, has become much more common over the past decade. This indicates full acceptance of gay people into a particular affiliation, and differs from the traditional "Love the sinner, hate the sin" approach taken by some denominations. There are many options available to today's GLBT singles and families seeking full acceptance, not mere tolerance, into a religious community. For those searching for a religious home, a quick Google search for an "Open and Affirming (Church, Synagogue, Mosque, etc.) will produce many results. But welcoming congregations abound, and with a little persistence, it is possible to find a spiritual home that fits your needs and those of your family.

Warhammer 40K 6th Ed. Landspeeders are now Awesome!
August 21, 2012 by darrell
August 21, 2012 by darrell
In my humble opinion, the land speeder haven't become good, it got better.
The land speeder have always been a good choice, maybe not the tooled up version but the simple one with either a heavy flamer or a multi-melta.
Countless times have my little 65 point (now 60) speeders zipped across the board and blown up a dreadnought or a tank twice its points.
Even if it didn't do anything, it's only 60 points, not a big loss and they usually scared my opponent into focusing more into it than it was worth.
I play Eldar mostly and Dark Angels and I'm quite happy fast skimmers came out of 6th much improved.
Darrells right about the bases. That's not modelling for advantage the damn things are always breaking.
I do like and use the tactic of a cheap unit that my opponent has to deal with or suffer.
Hopefully Ravenwing landspeeders will get the option to deepstrike, double up on flamers and meltas in the new DA codex or maybe something juicier
Sadly very untrue for the Eldar side of the house for "skimmers getting better". Vehicles not effecting objectives and 3+ to hit in CC was a crippling blow to Eldar standard tactics.
Well, Flamer speeders will be a prime target for my lootas and dakkajets it seems:-P
Problem is, as with most ork things, both of those are quite unreliable (lootas D3 shots and dakkajets being in reserve).
I owe 5 of them and field them regularly in various builds, and in most of the cases they pay of well the points investment. I usually field a a squadron of two or three equipped with mix of assault cannon and multimelta and it seems to work pretty well. Initially I'm going after heavy vehicles and then infantry or light armour ones.
Now that terrain is just beautiful, is it bought or did you guys make that yourself?
@tenntrollet We made that ourselves. We'll show you how… some day… 😉
i use them inn my ravenwing army, just that since i cant go x2 flamer i use to go multimelta and typhoon missiles works just as fine 😛 close up and boom gone 😉
Darrell, may wear shirts that would look at home on John Boy Walton, but he knows his 40k. Just ordered my 1st 2 Land Speeders.
In 5thed I would bring a Land Speeder Storm with my Carcharadons and do the whole scout move, regular move, disembark and assault in one turn. With the old Chapter tactics of furious charge and old assault rules it could deal with most non close combat infantry units. Now I have no ideas of using the Land Speeder Storm except for putting a bunch of snipers in them and skimmer them around, but that breaks the fluff which I am trying not to stray too far from.
What would be good tactics that will make my scouts still close combat fluffy and live long enough for a second round of combat?
My army also consists of Tyberos with w/ Terminator Chaplain and 6 Lightning Claw Terminators as an additional troop choice in a Crusader plus Iron Clad in a Lucious Drop pod. I was going for an expensive low model army but very killy 1500 points.
I was always a fan of Landspeeder Storms, they gave my deep striking Grey Knights army some issues.
However, now that the Scouts can't hold objectives while inside, it's a better idea to increase the unit to 10 Scouts and take a Librarian to use Gate of Infinity to steal that objective Turn 5.
Many thanks for the tip!
I'm about to start painting my 2x Land Speeders today. I was going to have 2x MM/HF, but I'm now going to have 1x MM/MM and 1x HF/HF.
PS I play Salamanders, w00t!
Not rating thunderwolves? Shame on you Darrell!
Though I see your pt on the double flamer… I'm still quite a fan of the mix (or at least double melta)
A little cheese when facing say: a guard parking lot, is to blow up a chimera with ML's, then put your flamer template over the hull of another one, toast 5 guardsmen & use the melta to blow up the other chimera
Double melta also got better because you can deep strike, get a 5+ cover (because deep strike counts as cruising speed, and cruising speed grants a 5+ Jink) & fire your 2 melta's
Also, I quite like the typhoon variant (with MM) now in 6th Ed: 12″ move, 5+ cover & being able to fire 3 S8 AP3 (or lower) shots? Yes sire!
Mixed Flames/Melta Speeder are absolutely viable, depending on what you like to use them for. They add a flexible element to my army that I usually miss in case I do not take them. Kinda swiss armykinfe like.
If I would play something like a 1200-pts Jumpers BA army. I would need some suppression for my Assault marines. Would LS work well in combination with VV? (Melta's or Flamers? The latter seems like a better option)
Or is there a better way to knock-out nasty CC units, or units that I'm afraid of?
no thunderwolf cav? really Darrel? they're awesome…before i had to reluctantly sell my wolf army due to financial reasons, my cavalry reliably killed marine squads, not to mention that if you take a character with them and put saga of the warrior born on him…you got yourself a hell of a beat stick. get yourself a unit of cav, even if it's only 2 or 3, you will not be dissapointed, i assure you…just make sure you give them all stor shields!

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard had to face the media today and talk about the fact that Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels decided to back out of his agreement to be the Colts' next coach. Ballard's press conference was delivered in the tone of a person talking themselves up in the mirror after a bad breakup.
And then he finished things off with this bit of half-hearted sass:
He also revealed that Andrew Luck still can't throw a football. So things are going great in Indianapolis.

As you are no doubt aware it's Peer Review week (19 – 25 September 2016) this week. Peer reviewing is something that is so important to us at Policy Press both in terms of helping us in commissioning and shaping our books and our journal content and ensuring that we continue to meet the highest possible standards in publishing quality research.
In today's guest blog Evidence and Policy Associate Editor Kathryn Oliver shares her thoughts on the importance of peer review and why being a peer reviewer is central to her practice as an academic…
I've been part of an academic community for 15 years now – and in that time have learned from many hundreds, if not thousands of colleagues, both in person and in print.
Reading and writing together is how most scholars interact, and what helps science of all kinds advance. Writing and publishing papers is what supports academic and research careers – and it's all totally dependent on peer review.
Much has been written about academic publishing models. Some call for open source publishing; others for post-publication review; still others for journal boycotts, especially after corruption scandals. But the quality of our work is best assessed by our peers – like democracy, it's the least worst system.
"I've often fantasised about a system where academic journals pay peer reviewers for the work they do…"
I've peer reviewed grants applications, REF submissions, PhD applications and papers. I was lucky enough to receive a thorough training in critical appraisal which meant I had the skills to assess the quality of work through a relatively structured process. I've often fantasised about a system where academic journals pay peer reviewers for the work they do, but for now, all this work is, apparently, unpaid. It is true it's not in my job description.
So why do peer review?
I choose to see peer review as part of my scholarly duties. And more than duties – it's a way of keeping in touch with my academic community, and giving something back to all those editors, readers and reviewers who have helped me learn how to write more succinctly, more accurately, less boringly.
We all know the pain of getting back the dreaded peer review comments, and of course there are good and bad reviewers out there, but a good review helps you develop as a writer and as a researcher; points you to literature which is relevant and useful; saves you from unnecessary duplication of work and introduces you to new method and theories.
At its most positive, peer review is a constant learning process, not a battle. At the very least, reviewers help to maintain high scholarly standards, and advance academic debates in your field.
These days I review about a paper a month – it takes me an hour or so to read the paper, make notes, and a few minutes to write up my report for the editors and the authors. Some colleagues do more, some do less.
"…apart from building up your brownie points, I often find it an interesting and positive experience myself"
There's no doubt that it is another task for already busy academics, and many simply don't respond to requests (despite still publishing themselves). But the recent suggestion to rank reviewers by a journal seems a little extreme. I think the Carrot of Good Karma is incentive enough.
I now sit on the editorial board of Evidence and Policy, and am responsible for co-ordinating peer review requests, and making editorial decisions based on reviewer recommendations. Every time I invite a reviewer I wish we had some way of rewarding their time – but for now, gratitude will have to do. And, as I say, we all rely on others to review our work – apart from building up your brownie points, I often find it an interesting and positive experience myself.
Dos and don'ts
- 1) If you've never done a peer review before, get in touch with editors or register online with journals – you can be often be selected through your personal keywords. Ask more experienced colleagues or supervisors if they will pass on the next relevant request they get to you. The first few I did took 6, 8 hours – I've learned what to look for now. Practice helps!
- 2) Always read the journal scope and guidelines – remember that while you are making ((hopefully constructive) comments for the author(s), you are also mainly helping an editor to make a decision about whether a paper should be published in that particular journal. I usually write a 2-3 sentence note to the editor explaining my recommendation, and raising the key editorial decisions to be made. We can't all be experts in every journal, but making it clear to the editor what needs to be judged is a big help.
- 3) If you have questions about the paper, or the process, or if you just want an extension – get in touch with the editor. Most would much rather have a brief email exchange than wait for weeks for you to respond with a half-hearted effort
- 4) Be firm, be fair, and imagine you're on the receiving end. It's a process, not a judgement.
- 5) Finally, don't accept all requests. I take the most relevant where I think I really have something to say. Pass the others on, or tell the editor where to look – we're always grateful for anyone who saves us a few minutes googling for alternatives.

Current Adds Research Head, Talent
Current TV has hired a director of research as well as some new on-air talent, including the co-founder of the Lyricist Lounge, officials said Tuesday.
Brian Fiori, a veteran of UPN and stations such as KRON-TV in San Francisco, will serve of Current's vice president of research.
The youth-oriented network has also recruited Anthony Marshall as creative director for viewer-contributed-content marketing and programming, as well as program host. Marshall is a co-creator of the Lyricist Lounge, which began as five MCs hanging out in a rehearsal hall and turned into a showcase for underground talent such as Eminem, 50 Cent, Sean "Diddy" Combs and The Black Eyed Peas.
Marshall also developed The Lyricist Lounge Show for MTV: Music Television, where it garnered strong ratings.
Finally, Current hired Christof Putzel as an on-air reporter and producer.

Which begs the interesting question: what books do people want to read? Possibly as many kinds as there are readers. You probably won't find celebrity or sporting memoirs in the mid-list. A mid-list novel isn't a blockbuster or a bestseller although many bestsellers used to come from the fertile ground of the mid-list. These were called breakthrough novels. After publishing several interesting and well written books, an author who had built up a modest following among the reading public would suddenly write a book which 'took off' and made him or her (and the publisher) quite a lot of money. You'll sometimes find prize-winning novels on the mid-list, but although prizes help to boost sales, they are no guarantee of a bestseller, unless you're talking about the Booker or similar. Now, conventional publishers tend to strive for certainty. After a few underperforming books – and the bar is raised ever higher in terms of sales - a mid-list writer will often be dropped and as a result will find it very hard to be conventionally published again. The harsh truth is that it is better by far to be a debut novelist with potential than a middle aged one with a mid-list track record.
The mid-list may encompass everything from good, well-written genre fiction to novels which some would judge to be literary, but not wildly experimental, with a very great deal of interesting and readable work, both fiction and some non-fiction, in between. A writer may find him or herself at the popular or literary ends of the mid-list and I suspect that many of the 'literary' novelists of previous ages would find themselves well and truly mid-listed now.
Every area of creativity has a fertile centre ground. Lots of pieces of work of varying degrees of quality and popularity will grow there, but nobody seems to be able to predict exactly which of those works will suddenly achieve star status. If all these celebrity, sporting and political deals had done as well as predicted, publishing would not be in such an allegedly parlous state and bookshops would not be going out of business. Success in the arts is tricky and audiences are (as any playwright knows) strange, variable and fickle. Nobody has yet managed to come up with a magic formula for pinning them down.
Until now, writers doomed to mid-list shame have tried hard to hide it, either by striving vainly to escape from the label, or pretending that they belong elsewhere. But the relentless erosion of the midlist seems to have had the effect of destroying the fertile ground within which genuine success might be nurtured.
|This is what it's like to be a mid-list author!
This is one of the reasons why so much of the mid-list seems to have shifted to eBook publishing. Newly empowered mid-listers – many of us well published, but with a backlist of 'not quite commercial enough' novels, stories and/or non-fiction - are reclaiming our lost territories and I think we need to stop apologising for writing the kind of books people want to read, even if they may not want to read them in hundreds of thousands.
My unashamedly mid-list new novel will be published not too long after you read this post, in good time for Christmas. I've blogged about it already. It's a book called Bird of Passage, with a cover by a young and talented digital artist (better known for working on video games) called Matt Zanetti. It has been through several incarnations and in many ways, the gatekeepers were right about those early drafts. The version of it sent out all those years ago wasn't right and the feedback received was invaluable. I worked on other things, but I was drawn back to it time and again.
Gradually, over many rewrites, the whole focus of the novel shifted, so that one of the characters became much more central. It's a love story, for sure, but it's an obsessive and difficult kind of love with more than a glance at Wuthering Heights along the way. Matt's cover seems to be a pretty accurate reflection of the loneliness, the mental imprisonment, and the buried suffering of the 'hero' – if hero he can be called. The bird, by the way, is the mysterious corncrake, as well as the hero himself.
So it's a new and different novel, with a new title, but because the old version had been sent out many years ago and (rightly) rejected, I was told that there was no way the new version could be sent out again, no matter how different. I think that's the dead hand of mid-list thinking at work with no leeway for change and development.
Which is why I'm so thankful for the eBook revolution. I've grown very fond of this book and these people, especially Finn. I've lived with him for a very long time, my Bird of Passage. And in due course, I'd be delighted to get some feedback on the novel from anyone who thinks they might enjoy reading it.

What does Grade 9 look like? Below is a model essay discussing Dickens' presentation of Christmas.
In order to achieve top marks, your answer needs to be perceptive, exploratory and conceptual.
How does this answer achieve this?
How does Dickens present Christmas in 'A Christmas Carol'?
Throughout 'A Christmas Carol', Dickens presents Christmas as a unifying force within Victorian society, and he sets out a moral obligation for his readers to adhere to his vision.
Dickens presents the notion that choosing not to celebrate Christmas divorces individuals from society and God. In his description of Scrooge, Dickens makes it clear that he is an isolated character; the word 'sole' is repeatedly used to describe Scrooge in the first few pages of the text, which emphasises this. As a third person omniscient narrative voice is used, the reader trusts this version of Scrooge and is not surprised to see him subsequently exclude himself at Christmas. As an allegorical text, Scrooge's behaviour is intended to symbolise that of the wealthy business man and those within Victorian society who have not yet embraced the growing movements for economic and social reform. As Scrooge is presented as being evil with his 'red eyes' and different from everyone else in society through his exclusion at Christmas, so Dickens represents this group of people from his real world in the same way. Through this subtle lean to satire, Dickens aims to incite change, unifying his real world as well as that in the text.
Indeed, throughout Stave 1, every voice we hear refers to Christmas positively and with reverence – with the exception of Scrooge. This begins with the narrator who tells us that Scrooge sat working 'of all the good days in the year, on Christmas Eve'; it continues with Fred, Bob and the portly gentlemen all exchanging Christmas greetings and demonstrating that they share the view that Christmas is a special time of year. The juxtaposition of Scrooge's attitude and those of every other character in the story, demonstrates clearly that Scrooge is isolated by his failure to engage in celebrations; however, everyone else we meet, despite their varied social positions, are bought together by sharing in the season. This is even more poignant when we consider the nature of Victorian society. At this time, the social classes were distinct and separate. This makes the shared values of the carol singer, the employee and the gentlemen even more remarkable; thus, Dickens demonstrates the unifying power of Christmas on society as a whole.
This is reinforced by the narrator's descriptions of Londoners celebrating together. Repeatedly, Dickens lists people from all elements of society partaking in similar festive activities. From the 'Lord Mayor' to 'his cooks and butlers', the 'drunk and blood-thirsty' 'tailor' and a 'party of ragged men': all elements of society are unified by Christmas. Thus, Dickens reiterates Scrooge's isolation in his refusal to participate. Scrooge is symbolised by the 'water-plug being left in solitude…turned to misanthropic ice'. The personification of the ice demonstrates that isolation leads to unsociable, unneighbourly and, by extension, unchristian behaviour; as one of the bible's commandments instructs Christians to 'love thy neighbour'. In a society for whom Christianity was prominent, this emphasises the moral nature of this message; Dickens promotes the importance of allowing Christmas to create unity between all members of society, rich or poor. This pattern is repeated throughout the text as we see miners, sailors, families, friends and employees, all joining in Christmas celebrations.
Certainly, Scrooge's isolation is only ended when he embraces Christmas also. At the end of the text the reader is presented with a man fully redeemed. He exclaims that 'Christmas Time be praised for this!', and continues to embrace the Christmas traditions he had spurned as the story concludes. In doing so, Scrooge also interacts with all members of society as he 'patted children' and 'questioned beggars'. Thus, even Scrooge is united with his fellow man through his celebration of Christmas.
Indeed, this is never clearer than in his depiction of the Cratchits. Not only are they presented as a loving and unified family, we see that Christmas has united them further, even allowing Martha to come home and celebrate on Christmas day. As Bob Cratchit is so easily fooled into thinking that this is not the case, the reader gets the sense that Martha is rarely allowed home and away from her work. Thus, her presence with her family at Christmas is all the more significant. The symbolism of the Christmas pudding as 'a small pudding for a large family' is highly relevant also. Firstly, it acts as a motif for Christmas, signalling that the Cratchits celebrate the season in much the same way as others in society despite their poverty; thus, Christmas unifies society through shared practices. However, the parallelism within the sentence emphasises family's happiness to share although they had so little. The importance here is their love for one another and the happiness they share in being together. As the children 'danced about the table', we are presented with a happy and lively family scene thanks to Christmas. This is reinforced by Dickens' presentation of Belle's family earlier in the text also and, finally, when Scrooge joins his own once redeemed.
Ergo, the power of Christmas to unify families and society as a whole is made clear throughout the text. However, more importantly, Dickens presents this a Christian and moral duty to his readers.

On a recent visit to Sligo I visited Lough Gill, Ben Bulben, and Knocknarea. Lough Gill is where Yeat's was inspired to write "The Lake Isle of Inisfree". It is absolutely stunning here, so peaceful beside the lake, little streams are flowing through the forest everywhere and everything seems to be covered in moss! It's really magical. Knocknarea is where Queen Maeve is said to be buried. It is a steep enough walk up Knocknarea to Maeve's cairn but the view is fantastic. It was really wild and the wind was howling when we got to the top and too windy to hold the camera steady so I used photos from when i was at Knocknarea the last time. A few days later I found out that there was a sculpture of Queen Maeve in Dublin. It's just outside Connacht House on Burlington road created by artist Patrick O'Reilly. She looks fierce but it's such a pity that it's not in a place more visible to the general public.

I was not aware that a child had to be persuaded to be religious in order to satisfy the state.
Neither of my children are religious and have not been persuaded either way, both are white of british/albion origin thus i assume, i should be challenged by the state. I await their challenge with open arms.
What if the child decides for themselves to be religious, does the lack of persuasion go against them?
Do you get more points for persuading them really hard or choose a really hard religion to get your head around?
As religion is a form of mental slavery thus a negative for the child, is it ok to persuade them into other negatives such as voting, joining state agencies, becoming a person and so on?
Is this persuasion a tool of tptb in order to get people to become persons?
Hey holy vehm, thanks for your input too mate, hope you're keeping well
Yes, I raged internally when I read this too. It's almost saying that Religion HAS TO BE forced upon them to be considered 'categorised'
Proof, beyond a doubt, that they DO NOT WANT FREE THINKERS!!
I have ALWAYS had the same opinion that should my children ever want to follow any religion it would be entirely their own choice. I would support and love them as usual but ensure that they were fully informed of all facts regarding their chosen religion. I personally refuse to poison my mind with any form of religion but also realise that they are entitled to their own freedom of choice.
'Persuasion' = ARGH!!! Dont get me going on that word!!
Just to clarify.....
When I spoke of 'Child A' It was my choice not to include my childrens names.
The statement regarding 'religion' was in ALL my childrens assesment papers. They had a set of papers each.
So this statement was actually made against Child A,B,C &D!!
I dont mind giving my partners or my name but want to keep some form of anonymity for my children

Hi guys.
Hope you're enjoying the bank holiday weekend!!
You might remember a few months back I posted about starting a teeth whitening system with Smile Brilliant. You can refresh your memory here!
So after I got back from Hong Kong I had received my customised trays and was able to start my journey!
I used the trays for the first time on the 19th of August. All I needed to do was apply a thin line of the Teeth Whitening gel onto each tray and wear them for 1-3 hours. As it was my first time I only wore them for an hour.First Impressions: Weird!! I wasn't expecting it but I felt quite a tingly sensation on my gums. It was a bit painful but nothing I couldn't handle. The sorest part was actually taking the trays out. My gums weren't used to them and they felt sensitive when I ran my tongue over them. The next day I did 10 minutes with the Desensitising Gel and it felt pretty sore putting the trays back in.
I took a few days break to let my gums rest and that was honestly a great idea! When I whitened my teeth again on the 23rd, I felt no pain! After the initial usage, I haven't felt any pain since. I think I just needed to get used to it! I find it very hard to remember to do this every night so I usually whiten my teeth every few days, along with using the desensitising gel straight after. (This also helps lock in the treatment!)
My Progress!
This is before any treatment. As you can see my teeth aren't terrible, but they do have a tinge of yellow. I want them to be white white!
Granted the lighting's different here, but this was more to show the white streaks that started appearing on my front teeth. This way actually my fault as I completely forgot I had cosmetic fillers on my front teeth! I chipped my front teeth a few years ago ( I bit down on a fork… dumbass) and you can't actually whiten fillings. It's not a big deal though cause I need to get them redone anyway.
As you can see now, my teeth are quite a bit whiter. They're still not where I'd like them to be but I'm only half way through my gel syringes so I'm not worried! You can see that some parts are whiter than others but I'm hoping that evens out over time.
So the process is quite slow but I can notice the difference in the colour of my teeth. I think I'm going to start putting the trays in more often, maybe even once a day for a week or so to see if that makes a big difference!
Prior to Smile Brilliant you could only get custom fitted trays from the dentist ranging $500+ whilst Smile Brilliant offer packages from $120+.

Chefs from across the west coast of the states got together and began to converse. The topic of discussion was about chef pant and the fact that they are functional, easy to move around in and comfortable but, could these pants be something that satisfies everything and still be considered fashionable? The answer birthed Cookman wear, a new line that would satisfy every chef's demands.
Later, they became the preferred pants to wear not only in the professional kitchen environment but also during off the clock hours due to the combined comfort, design, and functionality it offered, eventually gaining the one-mile wear status.
Despite the name, Cookman wear isn't just for chefs. They are very affordable and comes in a variety of design patterns that isn't catered to any specific age or gender so anyone and everyone can enjoy these pants.

Name that tune
One thing I have noticed is that the top grossing songs and albums on iTunes are a big pile of goose crap. We listen to a lot of the same mindless, derivative music these days. The time has come again for me to spend some iTunes store credit, and I was wondering what you all have been listening to lately.

New scissor sisters is mad good. And marina and the diamonds is life changing awesome.
