It took her, like, a year. She had all these fake fingernails and they broke. I had some too, and my mum said, “why do you want them? you’ve got perfectly good fingernails?” and they all fell off but I’ve still got one. It’s on my bedside table. It must be, like, well manky now.

Corruption and the risk of political destabilisation rank alongside the Russia-Ukraine conflict and information warfare as the principal security challenges facing Moldova. Confidence-Building in Moldova: Domestic and External Security Challenges assesses the priorities for a security strategy to rebuild trust at home and strengthen international co-operation to diffuse conflicts in the neighbourhood and to settle the Transnistria conflict.
The study by by Corneliu Ciurea (with additional analysis by Victoria Bucătaru) is the latest paper to complement the overview study, Security Alert on the EU's Doorstep: Strategies for Strengthening Security in the Eastern Partnership Countries, published by the Caucasus Institute for Peace, Democracy and Development/CIPDD (Georgia) and presented at a roundtable event hosted by the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM) in Warsaw on 21 June 2016.
• Confidence must be restored and maintained in the rule of law and the judicial system. The Ministry of Justice should undertake a detailed and transparent evaluation of the current shortcomings and introduce reform of the justice system, and needs to not only lead the reform, but to demonstrate tangible and successful implementation. An independent judiciary is a top priority.
• There should be a national campaign to promote good governance and establish mechanisms applicable to Moldovan society as a whole, and public institutions in particular. Reforms, under the monitoring of civil society, should include a set of good governance and public service modernisation landmarks, together with a timeframe for their implementation.
• It is a strategic necessity to strengthen the institutional capacities of the anti-corruption system. The government, working with civil society, should strengthen democratic institutions, and improve the capacities of law enforcement bodies by strict delimitation of powers, ensuring their independence and integrity, providing the legal and technical framework for sanctions and punishment, and creating mechanisms for the recovery of stolen assets.
• It is essential to promote continuous dialogue with representatives of Tiraspol and external partners to support the Transnistria settlement process. An initiative should be launched to elaborate and promote a genuine reintegration policy and eliminate barriers between the two banks of the river Dniester, and to ensure external support for a settlement of the Transnistria conflict that respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova. Efforts should be undertaken to implement the EU-Moldova Association Agreement throughout the country, especially in the context of the extension of the DCFTA component to the Transnistria region.
• The authorities should consolidate co-operation with the EU within the framework of the EU Common Security and Defence Policy and with NATO in its Partnership for Peace programme. Civil society should increase its knowledge and expertise about the EU Common Security and Defence Policy, establish viable co-operation with the Moldovan government, and also international partners, in order to strengthen watchdog practices in the defence and security sector. The government authorities should increase their efforts to interconnect with the EU energy market, in particular natural gas, ensuring the objective of real diversification of energy sources and routes by 2018.
Corneliu Ciurea is an independent security expert, and Victoria Bucătaru is Programme Director of the Foreign Policy Association, Moldova. The editor of the study was New Diplomacy Chair, Jeff Lovitt.
The paper was produced in the framework of the project Security Alert on the EU’s Eastern Doorstep by the Caucasus Institute for Peace, Democracy and Development/CIPDD (Georgia), in partnership with the Foreign Policy Association (Moldova) and the NGO Promotion of Intercultural Cooperation (Ukraine).

The World Championships, Chelyabinsk 2014, moved towards the conclusion of the individual competition as three champions emerged at the Traktor Sport Arena on Friday.
The women’s -70kg and -78kg judoka took to the tatami along with the men’s –90kg judoka with an expectant Russian crowd sensing more home medals in Chelyabinsk. The three world titles went to Colombia, Brazil and Greece as a global audience once again saw how judo is one of the world’s most practiced sports at the grassroots and elite level.
Hosts Russia have been on the medal podium every day to the immense pleasure of the home fans but a gold medal still eludes them and they will hope their fortunes can change on Friday.
The Traktor Sport Arena attracted a full crowd once again including sporting idols such as mixed martial arts legend and former Russian judo national team member Fedor EMELIANENKO (RUS).
EMELIANENKO, who won bronze at the 1999 Moscow tournament before it later became the Moscow Grand Slam, started his sporting career in judo and is a regular guest at IJF World Judo Tour events.
EMELIANENKO had high praise for the crown jewel of the Tour and spoke fondly of the host city of Chelyabinsk.
The 37-year-old said: “I have a great impression of the World Championships here in Chelyabinsk on my first day at the competition. I’m happy to see so many countries, athletes and supporters here and I’m pleased that everyone seems to be enjoying the event.
“I am full of pride for Russia for hosting such an important and spectacular event and especially as I used to be a judoka for Russia. I have fought for the honour of Russia and I know what the team is experiencing here. I know the Olympic champion Tagir KHAIBULAEV very well and I ask you all to shout for him on Saturday.
“This is a key event for all judoka in their preparations and qualification for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and I look forward to more judo in the coming days," added the SportAccord World Combat Games 2013 sambo ambassador.
After five days of competition, Japan are still top of the medal table with four gold, one silver and two bronze medals ahead of France and Georgia.
The final day of the individual competition takes centre stage on Saturday and features the men’s -100kg and +100kg categories and women’s +78kg category.
Olympic and six-time senior world heavyweight champion Teddy RINER (FRA) will be chasing a seventh crown which would equal the record of world title wins set by TONG Wen (CHN) and IJF Hall of Famer TANI Ryoko (JPN).
World champion and Olympic bronze medallist Yuri ALVEAR (COL) was unbeatable in 2009, 2013 and today as she became the third judoka to retain their title at the IJF’s marquee event. ALVEAR was overlooked in some parts coming into the competition but made a mockery of anyone who dismissed her as he concluded her day and third world victory by beating All Japan Championships winner NUNIRA Karen (JPN). The heartbeat of Colombian judo topped the medal podium after defeating NUNIRA by ippon from a ko-uchi-gake after just 61 seconds. ALVEAR sat on her knees on the tatam after she was awarded the win and looked up to as if to praise some divine inspiration.
In the first semi-final ALVEAR surprised world number one Kim POLLING (NED) who was well beaten in the end. POLLING, who just did enough in the preliminaries to reach the last four, was caught for a waza-ari in the second minute and then an osoto-gari added a yuko for the Colombian. The defending champion produced another waza-ari score to progress into the -70kg final. In the second semi-final NUNIRA conquered Junior world champion Barbara MATIC (CRO) who has made the step up to the senior stage with ease. MATIC, who won bronze at the European Championships in April, was undone on the ground as NUNIRA submitted the 19-year-old with a juji-gatame.
The first bronze medal was won by Onix CORTES ALDAMA (CUB) who abruptly ended the medal ambitions of her teenage opponent from Croatia. CORTES ALDAMA threw MATIC with uchi-mata for ippon to win her country’s second medal of the competition after Maria Celia LABORDE (CUB) took -48kg bronze on Monday. The second bronze medal was won by Baku Grand Slam bronze medallist Katarzyna KLYS (POL) who handed POLLING a second successive humbling defeat. KLYS stepped over a uchi-mata attack and took the lead with a yuko before scoring waza-ari with a ko-uchi-gari as her Dutch rival ran out of ideas.
Olympic and world bronze medallist Mayra AGUIAR (BRA) won her first world title with a ruthless performance having previously earned one silver and two bronze medals at the annual judo showpiece. AGUIAR, 23, defeated former world champion and fellow Olympic bronze medallist Audrey TCHEUMEO (FRA) in the -78kg final. The Brazilian ace, who only returned from a year-long absence through injury by winning the Tyumen Grand Slam in July, was in inspired form as she opened the scoring with a waza-ari from a low uchi-mata. Brazil, who only had a slender return of a -52kg bronze medal from Erika MIRANDA before today, were reinvigorated by AGUIAR who was lifted up off the ground by her ecstatic coach Rosicleia CAMPOS as teammate Maria PORTELA (BRA) was shown jumping for joy in the crowd.
In the first semi-final TCHEUMEO guaranteed a new world champion by ousting 2013 winner SOL Kyong (PRK) in 82 seconds with a harai-goshi. In the second semi-final AGUIAR defeated Olympic champion Kayla HARRISON (USA) who returned from injury in June as she won the Havana Grand Prix, the first IJF competition to carry points towards qualifying for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. AGUIAR went ahead with a yuko and added a waza-ari to her opening score as HARRISON.
The first bronze medal was won by HARRISON who saw off former European Championships bronze medallist Yahima RAMIREZ (POR) by the narrowest of margins. RAMIREZ was penalised with a shido in a scoreless contest which marked the return of HARRISON to World Championships podium and her country’s first medal in Chelyabinsk.
The second bronze medal was won by the vastly underrated Paris Grand Slam winner Anamari VELENSEK (SLO) who defeated SOL who was unable to recapture the form which saw her dumbfound fans the world around when she took gold a year ago. A yuko for VELENSEK was the difference as SOL lacked vigour and failed to trouble the scoreboard.
Athens 2004 Olympic champion Ilias ILADIS (GRE) won the third World Championship gold medal of his illustrious career in Chelyabinsk. The world-renowned ILIADIS, 27, has starred on the circuit for a decade and after today’s victory is now determined to fight on to the Rio 2016 Olympics. ILIADIS met one of the brightest young talents in the sport in the final as 20-year-old Krisztian TOTH (HUN) put forward a herculean effort on the tatami. ILIADIS triumphed by ippon as he attacked with osoto-gari and wrapped his arm over the top of his opponents right shoulder for a soto-makikomi and yet another world title. ILIADIS ran around the tatami with three fingers raised on each hand to show his number of his world title wins before embracing with TOTH who showed his respect for his idol by raising the hand of ILIADIS and turning to all four sides of the venue.
TOTH said: “It’s really a big surprise for me to be in the final and to be in the final with my idol, Ilias LIADIS. He’s a role model for me. I was probably not expected to medal at this level but it was my day and my dream came true. For the moment, I was ready for the preliminaries and the semi-final where I had a terrific fight. But I was not ready for the final, not yet ."
In the first semi-final TOTH sensationally defeated Kirill VOPROSOV (RUS) in an absorbing contest during golden score. Both men went toe-to-toe for five minutes and neither could produce a score as the Russian fans tried to energise VOPROSOV as they raised their volume for the raised stakes of the contest. TOTH silenced the crowd by scoring a match-winning yuko after 53 seconds and clapped the crowd to recognise their excitement for the contest and knowledge of judo. In the second semi-final ILIADIS downed Tashkent Grand Prix winner Sherali JURAEV (UZB) with a display of brute force that makes his one of the most popular judoka in the world. ILIADIS threw with o-goshi for a yuko and went on to the final.
The first bronze medal was won by world number one Varlam LIPARTELIANI (GEO) who was tipped for glory in Russia but had to settle for bronze as his world title dream is on hold for another year. Rio 2013 runner-up LIPARTELIANI threw JURAEV with tsurikomi-goshi for ippon and left the tatami with his left arm over his eyes. The second bronze medal was won by VOPROSOV as compatriot and Chelyabinsk’s own reigning world bronze medallist Kirill DENISOV (RUS) was unable to compete due to injury.

What is the 5th Line?
In Gyrotonic, there is a concept called the “5th Line”. Rather than a physical place, the 5th line refersto reaching out in all directions from one’s major “power center” located in the lower abdomen. It can be compared to central currents of electricity that move through the spine, the arms and the legs. It’s almost like you are a starfish freely and fully; taking up the space within and around you no matter your shape. The word yoga translates as “union” and 5th Line shares this sense of well being, calm, connection and vitality.

It was in 1976 that Duris De Jong, the great Dutch fencer, started a fencing club in Thousand Oaks, which he called Conejo Fencers. After running a successful lamp and home accessories business, he retired, and moved to Thousand Oaks with his wife Evelyn. Fencing became a regularly scheduled program available through the Conejo Parks and Recreation district. He taught classes and offered individual lessons for all three weapons in the art of fencing: foil, epee and sabre.
Because he was a competitor in two Olympic games during the 1920's, he was well aware of the international standard of competition in the various weapons. He was also a friend, acquaintance, or rival of nearly every legendary historical fencing legend of his time.
The "maestro" (Italian for "professor") as we called him, was certainly giving of his time and skill, but he was also a critical task master. His students were clear targets for this criticism mostly during their individual lessons, which were offered at every practice session, and in his "after bout" evaluations. Memories of these Duris-isms abound. "If I haven't told you once, I've told you a thousand times," or if he really wanted to make a point: "If I haven't told you once, I've told you ten thousand times!" When dealing with all of the various techniques of the sport, or a particularly complex move, with which a student was having difficulty mastering, he would many times step back and say; "K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, stupid." That usually got the point across. Another favorite: "Bend your knees!" The list goes on and on.
Maestro De Jong was also an accomplished pianist, who had particular interest in the music of Spanish composers. He and his wife shared their beautiful home with a Bluntner grand piano, and several "attack" poodles. They were also avid bridge players.
During the late 1980's the Maestro's hip began giving him problems, and he opted to have a procedure done to replace it. He recovered, and returned to his chores as the Maestro of Conejo Fencers. Unfortunately, in 1990 he passed-away. Still, his legacy lives on through his many students, friends, and the club itself.
Editor's note: Shortly before his death, Maestro De Jong handed his weapons and the care of the Conejo Fencers to his student and trusted friend Phil Hareff. Those of us who were lucky enough to know the Maestro, are sure he would be very proud of the work Phil has done, and continues to do.
The Art of Fencing article was written by Duris in 1936.
Swordsman's Hazard was written by Duris, Not sure when it was written.

The Whopper by Starboard Paddle Boarding is probably the most significant breakthrough in Stand Up paddle Boarding (SUP) since the paddle was introduced. This extremely stable 34 inch wide paddleboard provides support to keep on paddling through white water or other difficult conditions right away. It has reasonably good glide and The Whopper SUP turns on a dime while paddling. The extra nose kick makes it possible to even catch white water waves with ease. The stability of The Whopper makes it a breeze to paddle into waves and get surf as well. The BIG surprise is that this board rocks on a wave, it really turns and is a fantastic wave board for most conditions, and is surely the most versatile wave dedicated SUP board ever shaped.
The Whopper: Also great for Wake Paddle Boarding or (Wake paddling) The added width of the 34 inch wide Whopper SUP board makes it an excellent option for the new sports of wake paddling. Stand Up Wake Paddling is basically paddle boarding behind an outboard boat, using the board and paddle to surf the small boat wake. This new sport allows inland paddle boarders or boat enthusiasts an option for surfing when traveling to the beach is not an option. Because of The Whoppers extra width and ability to easily catch small waves it's the perfect choice for as a wake paddle board.
The Whopper SUP comes in all of Starboards standard construction options. Each level of construction offers slightly different options, colors and price points.

I would first advise myself to focus primarily on my school work and decrease the amount of hours worked each week. I would also tell myself to continue to persevere even through the darkest of times and continually strive to better youself. Never give up and always put forth your best effort. Do not let other discourage you.
I would tell my high school self to sit down first. I would begin by saying indecision is okay! You're not going to completely know what you want to do. I would also tell her that she should try different things and not be afraid. Last thing I would say without a doubt would be follow your heart. By following your heart, you will do things you always wanted to do, find love, and grow a backbone to grow stronger in the person you are. And most of all, high school Nicole, don't change a thing and don't be afraid.
I actually like how small the classes are, professors and doctors can work one on one with you more and you're not just student # whatever.
Residence Life! They choose favorites! If you apply for an RA position, unless you kiss their butts you won't get it! THE END!
my classmates are very supportive.
During my freshman year in college I learned so much that i wish i would have knew during my senior year. The most important advice would be to take your work seriously, but take care of yourself first. The work in college is important but you cannot do your work to the best of your ability if you are stressed out and making yourself sick. At the end of the day you are the most important factor in the four year journey to getting your degree make sure you are taken care of and great things will follow.
People who are not serious about their education and only want to party.
If I could go back in time and tell myself one thing, I would tell myself never let something get in the way of your dreams. They are you dreams and there should never be a person that comes in to your life and lets you change that. It is impossible for a person not to make a mistake, but if I could, I would tell myself to be careful with which boys I like. They can cause alot of problems and change you, sometimes not always for the best. Never stop working for my dreams. My dreams have been with me all of my life and they should not be thrown away because of one person. I will never give up on myself, but when times get hard, I know I have to stay strong. My advice would be never give up on my dreams, and just keep going. No matter what life has to say.
The best thing about my school, Alvernia University, is everything. It is impossible to say one thing that this school does best. I love the fact that if I ever need help, there is always a staff group aviable for help. This school sets us up for success, not to take our money and watch us fail. They want the best for us and I am willing to do my best to spread how amazing of a school this is. I was given an equal oppurtinity to succeed and to get to where I want to be in life.
The worst thing about Alvernia is the cost. I will be in debt for the rest of my life because of this decision I made. I know that teachers don't get paid much, but I am fine with that, I will just be working the rest of my life to pay off my college expirence. It is so costly that I feel as though I will never make it out of debt.
I’ve been in a bubble my whole life. I suppose that explains why I enjoyed playing with them so much as a child. My world, kindergarten through senior year, was two buildings separated by a parking lot; a high school with only three hallways; and I loved it. I never thought much about college or finding a job; I was perfectly happy in my bubble. Then near the end of my junior year, it popped! I was suddenly faced with ACT scores, college and scholarship applications, financial aid, and everyone asking me where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do with my life. I was so overwhelmed that I pushed everything aside and decided not to worry about it, which unfortunately, came with many consequences. I always tell myself, that if I could go back, I would give myself the help that I never had. I would have joined more clubs, made more connections, gotten scholarships, and graduated with the best, and everyone would be so proud. However, I will not waste more time looking into the past at “what could have been”, but am now going to focus on the future and “what could become”.
My classmates are helpful and kind, with the small classroom setting it helps us all get to know each other very well.
AS a high school senior, I would tell my self to study a lot more then I have been.
The best thing about Alvernia University is the education that I am reciving is pretty good. The small classroom settings and the friendly professors are also a plus. I can say as a Freshman, I am so far happy with my choice of going to Alverina University.
As a first generation college graduate the transition into a university was unlike any other. Both of my parents were raced in Mexico, they did not have the opportunity to experience the life that they have provided my siblings and me with. As I looked for advice from my family they gave me the best knowledge that they could without knowing exactly what to expect. If I could go back in time with this knowledge and experienced I would make sure that college was worthwhile. It was a wonderful experience but there are several things that I would do differently. First I would pay close attention to the people I surrounded myself with. It is very important to be around positive and ambitious people so that you can excel. I would also take more advantage of school activities by becoming more proficient in scheduling time for schoolwork and extracurricular activities. I would mostly take advantage of studying abroad because it would have broadened my understanding and viewpoints of different cultures and their perspectives. Overall being active within the school is very important because it would help in finding ambitious people that could result in life long friendship, knowledge and memories.
As of today I am very happy with Alvernia College. The gymnasium is very small for my liking but useful and I understand that they are remodeling and growing the gymnasium so I can not wait until its ready for use.
The main thing that I would tell myself as a high school senior is to work harder, not only to recieve better grades, but to prepare myself more for college. Throughout my high school career, I was always under the impression that the teachers were preparing us for college life. My freshman year in college, I found this to be false. The teachers did do as much as they could but I realized that it was actually up to the students to make sure they were prepared. This includes getting good grades, getting involved in activities, and setting up good study processes. These aspects carry over to college life and make it easier to transition more quickly if students already have things planned out. I know the rest of my college career will be easier to transition to since I now have an idea of what it is like, but I do wish I would have worked harder in high school to better prepare myself with or without the help of others.
A person that should not attend Alvernia is someone who does not like a small class room setting. So far, none of my classes have had more than thirty people enrolled in them. This aspect is great for students that want or need one on one attention from the professors. Some college students prefer to have a larger class room setting to do the work themselves or work in study groups. Alvernia allows students to decide how they prefer to work with or without the professor's help.
I would say you need to manage time more efficiently. College is a lot of work and you need to study for your exams.

text: Originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1904 for the D. D. Martin House in Buffalo, New York, this iconic chair was an embarkation from his earlier linear furniture designs, due to its round shape. Original features included a flared backrest, square spindle supports and a cushioned double-sided circular seat. In 1937, Frank Lloyd Wright re-created the Barrel Chair design in a larger version with other design modifications for the residence of Herbert F. Johnson, known as »Wingspread«, to accommodate the expansive rooms and towering ceiling heights.

Adam Beyer is back at it again, this time joined by house and techno legend Green Velvet and Beyer’s own protege, Layton Giordani. While the Drumcode and Relief label bosses need no introduction, Giordani is no slacker himself. With releases on Drumcode, Dancepush and Cr2 Records, Layton is already making a real name for himself – and the two-track Space Date EP is another solid accomplishment in his career.
The first track is a three-way collaboration featuring iconic vocals from Green Velvet. ‘Space Date‘ is a track that brings the listener to another world with its wandering psychedelic synth lines and encapsulating lyrics. The second track, ‘Rome Future,’ features just Beyer and Giordani and the vibes head straight to the underground. Heavy on the low end and precise with the high hats, the seven-minute track hypnotizes listeners. Along with several vocal stabs, one phrase is repeated over and over: Acid.
If there is one thing that is certain, it’s that this release is one steeped in mind altering musical talent.

The client’s primary desire at Denholm Road was to extend the ground floor of their 3 bed, semi-detached home to create a larger kitchen, living and dining space that took full advantage of their south facing garden.
The roof is designed as such to accommodate clerestory glazing that provides natural ventilation through two electronically operable windows and to create a variation in space and light to the living / dining room.
The large double sliding doors open into the depth of the external walls thus creating an unobstructed link to the garden. The extruded square window is designed as an internal window seat to maintain the connection to the garden even on wet days.

Their first night as World Tag Team Champions. Victory party. I’m just going to leave this right here. End of chapter 4!!
those two in bunk beds cuddling their belts is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.
Thanks! We need a chapter to end on a high note every once in a while.
Sleeping with the belt on can’t be comfortable but what ever floats her boat.
Bunk beds hmmm…..thinking….thinking….thinking….I like it. I should get some so Brenda can sleep in the bottom bunk and I be over her. Wicked grin.
But why? You got a prob at my feet?
Sun won’t make a habit out of it, but she’s going to enjoy it, discomfort and all.
Bunk beds and jammies. This must be a dream of one of their young fans. Cute!
The conditions have been met. They can go back to being singles competitors now, if they wanted to. But I have this sneaking suspicion that they will drop the belts to the Fujoshi, which will trigger Sun and Damage Inc. turning on Sabrina.
Gabrielle COULD let them out of being a tag team, but they’re enjoying it at the moment.
That’s cute. And in fairness I may have done something similar when I got my blue belt at BJJ. Although that belt was probably a little more comfortable to sleep with.
Brina’s face is absolutely adorable.

Winter, Secretary of the NAVY v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.
The US Navy was using mid-frequency active (MFA) sonar during its training exercises off the coast of southern California. The plaintiffs argued that the use of sonar causes serious injuries to marine mammals and sued the Navy, asking for declaratory and injunctive relief on the basis that the Navy had violated NEPA by conducting harmful sonar training without having first prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The District Court granted the injunction after determining that the plaintiffs had shown a probability of success on their NEPA and CZMA claims. The court of appeals upheld the injunction because the negative impact of the injunction on the Navy was considered speculative, and because the balance of hardships and the public interest favored the plaintiffs. The Navy filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court rules that the standard for granting an injunction used by the lower court (requiring only a possibility of irreparable harm) was too lenient. But even if the plaintiffs could have shown that there was a likelihood of irreparable harm (the correct standard), this was outweighed by the public and Navy’s interest in effective and realistic training. Deference must be given to the military with regard to the relative importance of a particular military interest.
The preliminary injunction is vacated to the extent challenged by the Navy. The balance of equities and the public interest tip strongly in favor of the Navy. The Navy's need to conduct realistic training with active sonar to respond to the threat posed by enemy submarines plainly outweighs the interests advanced by the plaintiffs.
The National Environmental Procedure Act, 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq.
the Coastal Zone Management Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1451 et seq.
the Marine Mammal Protection Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1361 et seq.

Local women's drop-in centre Chez Doris hosted a special Thanksgiving lunch on Friday. It will not be open over the weekend due to budget shortfalls.
Nearly 100 women packed into the Chez Doris drop-in centre on Friday morning for a Thanksgiving feast, laughing and chatting as they filled their bellies with turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie.
For some, it may be the last bite of food they see for days.
The day centre, which opened in 1977 and caters exclusively to disadvantaged women, was forced to start closing down on weekends this summer because of an overall budget shortfall of around $150,000 per year. With Monday being a holiday, Chez Doris’s door will only be unlocked again on Tuesday morning, so between now and then, it’s anyone’s guess where some of the clients will go.
And the weather is only getting colder.
The women who have their own apartments will undoubtedly be lonely over the next few days as families across Montreal gather to break bread and give thanks, but Boulos-Winton said she is most concerned for the clients who have no roof over their heads.
There are other meal programs in the city over the weekends, Boulos-Winton explained, but they are mainly located in the east end and the women have a hard time accessing them. There are also no weekend drop-in centres where people can spend the long hours between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Shelters that cater to both sexes are not always the best option for women, she noted, because some aren’t comfortable eating or socializing among men.
Alejandra Robert, 41, has been coming to Chez Doris since 2008. Once a successful real estate broker and busy mother of three, she suffered serious injuries in a car accident in the mid-2000s — and her life quickly began to unravel. Her short-term memory became fuzzy and panic attacks became a regular occurrence.
“I lost my children, my job, my house, my condo,” Robert said. “I don’t remember how I got here … but I came here and met people and they said they wanted to take care of me.
Robert is now set up in her own apartment with her youngest child, a 12-year-old girl. She still comes to the centre on a daily basis for additional support, and her story is far from unique.
The drop-in program welcomes up to 100 women each day that it operates. They are never questioned, and they are never turned away.
Chez Doris is carrying around $50,000 in debt as it struggles to maintain its existing services, which include hot showers, beds for daytime naps, medical care, counselling, clothing, cooking classes and computer training. The city of Montreal helps to keep the facility up and running to the tune of $30,000 per year, but according to Boulos-Winton, that amount has remained unchanged for over a decade while demand has only increased. At the moment, she said, what Chez Doris needs most is a major financial boost and some new volunteers willing to lend a hand as the temperature drops.

A classic Steinway, thoughtfully restored within the last 25 years. Well maintained by a private owner.
This Steinway B was originally crafted in New York in 1911 and was previously in the home of a diligent private owner in Connecticut. It has been the regular recipient of quality service and maintenance, including a full restoration in 1993 and additional new action parts in 2013, so it is sure to provide an impeccable musical experience for its next owner.
The Model B is the quintessential semi-concert grand piano, with a tone that is as distinctive as it is satisfying. It is certain to fill any space with the rich, complex, and nuanced tone that one can only achieve with a Steinway.
Additionally, in 2013 the piano received a new set of Renner hammers, shanks and flanges, resulting in a piano that is truly in top mechanical condition, ready to play by a pianist at any level.
This magnificent 6'11'' (211cm) grand piano is often referred to as ''the perfect piano.'' It’s a wonderfully balanced and versatile piano that does extremely well in intimate settings, teaching studios, and mid-sized venues.
The Steinway & Sons Model B (also known as the ''Music Room Grand'') is a piano designed for spacious homes, smaller recital halls, auditoriums, and broadcasting, recording, or professional studios.
While this instrument is in fantastic playing condition, it does exhibit some areas of cosmetic wear, most notably some lightening of the finish on the rim of the piano due to sun exposure. We've priced this piano exceptionally affordably in light of this cosmetic wear. Refinishing services are available if desired, please contact us for details.

Even in 2019, staying connected on the road can be a challenge. That’s especially true if you don’t have affordable access to cellular data, since Wi-Fi is often slow, unreliable, or just nonexistent when you need it.
Fortunately, there’s a wide range of useful apps and online resources that provide a more complete picture of Internet speed, reliability, and access around the world, helping you prepare ahead of time.
With the right tools, you can also easily check connection speeds, track down public Wi-Fi hotspots wherever you happen to be, and even book a hotel based on the quality of its connection.
These are ten of the best apps and sites we’ve found for measuring Internet quality and finding free, faster Wi-Fi while traveling. If you’ve got a favorite that we’ve missed, please share it in the comments!
If you plan to stay connected, it’s useful to know the general state of the Internet in a country before you go there. If broadband connections are often slow or unreliable, you may need to pack an unlocked hotspot or smartphone and buy a local SIM card with plenty of data.
Speedtest Global Index is a great place to start. Based on results from the Ookla Speedtest app (below), the site ranks countries according to their mobile and broadband data speeds. You can drill down for details on a specific country, including graphs of average speeds over a one-year period.
There’s a global average shown for mobile and broadband speeds as well, so you can compare specific countries against the bigger picture.
Speed is a key aspect of Wi-Fi access, but it’s not the only one. Accessibility and reliability are also key, both for visitors to a country and those who live there fulltime.
The Inclusive Internet Index attempts to measure this, ranking overall internet “inclusivity” in 100 countries.
Each country’s position is based on various factors, including Internet availability (both quality and breadth), affordability relative to average income, the quantity of local-language content, and more.
This index tries to move beyond simple data points to understand what “being online” really means for many people in 2019.
People are becoming increasingly concerned with their online security, and for good reason. Looking at the subject on a global scale, the Global Cybersecurity Index ranks most countries in the world in terms of their commitment to cybersecurity.
This information is collected by the International Telecommunications Union, a specialized United Nations agency. The most annual recent report (from 2018, pdf) ranks 175 countries, placing the United States at the top of the cybersecurity list, and the Maldives at the bottom.
The report includes a fascinating breakdown of how the rankings are calculated, taking into account legal, technical, and organizational measures, among other factors.
This index is especially useful for business travelers and digital nomads in assessing remote work environments around the world, and the approaches they need to take in securing their company and personal data.
Internet access at hotels is a crapshoot. Sometimes you’ll book accommodation with fantastic speeds and reliability, other times it barely works at all, and it’s hard to know what you’ll get in advance.
Hotel Wi-Fi Test tries to introduce a little more certainty into the process, helping you make informed decisions before making a reservation. The site collects data, provided by users, on hotel Wi-Fi speeds around the world.
As you’d expect, some cities have much more information than others. London, New York, and Bangkok, for instance, are particularly well-represented. Still, even smaller towns and cities often have at least some hotels listed.
After choosing the city you’ll be visiting, a list of hotels is displayed, along with their average download speed. The level of confidence in that speed is also shown, and you can filter by criteria like traveler rating, minimum speeds, and whether the Wi-Fi is free or not.
Do you regularly browse hotel reviews on TripAdvisor, or book hotels on Expedia or Hotels.com? There’s also a useful browser extension that adds the average Wi-Fi speeds directly into pages on those sites.
If you’re at a hotel, cafe, or elsewhere and want to check the Wi-Fi speed, there are several different apps and sites that can help. Our favorite is Speedtest by Ookla, and we often use it to verify a connection is usable before committing to a room or sitting down for a coffee.
The app (or site) is very easy to use: simply open it up, hit the big “Go” button, and wait for the test to complete. When it’s done, you’ll see the upload and download speeds in Mbps, along with the ping speed in milliseconds.
Unfamiliar with those terms? The company has helpful guides explaining them in detail, but in short: Ping is the reaction time of your connection (i.e. how fast it responds after your device sends a request), download is how fast data is sent to you, and upload is how quickly you can send data to others (eg, during a video call).
Armed with those three pieces of information, you can understand the overall quality of your connection at a given time. You’ll also get other, less-important detail at the end of the test, including the Internet service provider and IP address.
The results of your previous speed tests remain available, making it easy to compare just how good (or bad) your current connection actually is.
Each speed testing service uses slightly different methods, and as a result, you’ll get slightly different results from each one. If you don’t like Speedtest (above) for some reason, or just want a second opinion, take a look at Speedcheck.
As expected, you’ll get information on latency (another name for ping), download, and upload speeds. You can save your speed test history, and access useful summaries that chart your download and upload speeds over time.
There are free guides on the website, covering topics like Internet connection basics, modems and routers, and troubleshooting your connection. There’s also a speed test wiki that helps you familiarize yourself with relevant terms and concepts.
Finding a good Wi-Fi connection doesn’t start and finish with testing speeds, however. Apps like Wi-Fi Analyzer add other powerful tools to your Android device, and are especially useful when you have several competing networks to choose between.
You can check out the channel graph, for example, which displays real-time data on all of the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks in the area, including their relative signal strengths. A time graph shows signal strength over time.
There’s a detailed list of nearby access points, including which wireless channel and security protocols they’re using, and even their approximate distance from you. This is a very feature-rich app, so it’s worth checking out the instructions on the website to ensure you’re making the most of it.
The app is free and open source, supported by ads. If you pay the few dollars for the Pro version, you’ll remove the ads, gain an additional diagnostics feature for tracking down Wi-Fi problems, and get better support.
How do you find Wi-Fi outside of your hotel room? Unsurprisingly, perhaps, there’s an app for that. Wi-Fi Map includes hotspots in cities all over the world, with an extensive database that’s been crowdsourced over many years.
The website boasts of 100,000,000 worldwide users, with information on 100 million free hotspots in 200+ countries. Some cities have a particularly large list of hotspots, such as Istanbul (53,000+) and Moscow (nearly 35,000).
The free version is supported by adverts. Upgrading to a Pro subscription removes the ads, adds a VPN service for better security on public Wi-Fi, and most usefully for travelers, lets you download the hotspot database for offline use.
Competing with Wi-Fi Map (above), WiFi Finder also lets you find hotspots in your area. You can drill down from the map view to see the name of the location, along with any recorded upload and download speeds.
The majority of the locations tend to be restaurants and hotels, though anyone is free to add a location. If you’d like to give back to the wider community, simply click the “Add WiFi” button on the screen, and you take a speed test based on your GPS location.
The free version is ad-supported, and only includes hotspots that have had their speed tested. Like Wi-Fi Map, if you sign up for the Pro version, you can download maps for offline use and remove the ads, as well as accesing the full database.
There’s an iOS app by the same name (WiFi Finder) that is also a good option, but appears to be developed by a separate company.
Since there’s no central repository for Wi-fi hotspot information, each hotspot app and site has a different set of information. The WiFi Maps site is very basic, but since it’s easy to use and entirely free, there’s no harm in checking it out as needed.
The interactive site lets you see locations like hotels, restaurants, cafes, and museums with free Wi-Fi access around the world. You can zoom into a city to see specific locations marked on the map, along with their name, address, and any commentary provided by users.

If general principles exist that can explain properties common to all life on Earth, scientists hypothesize, then they may be universal to all life, even life on other planets. If a “universal biology” exists, it would have important implications for the search for life beyond Earth, for engineering synthetic life in the lab, and for solving the origin of life, enabling scientists to predict properties of alien life.
In astrobiology, there is an increasing interest in whether life as we know it is a quirk of the particular evolutionary history of the Earth or, instead, if life might be governed by more general organizing principles. When we think of life on Earth, we might think of individual examples ranging from animals to bacteria. When astrobiologists study life, however, they have to consider not only individual organisms, but also ecosystems, and the biosphere as a whole.

Discussion in 'Long Range Hunting & Shooting' started by Blind Man, Dec 25, 2012.
So I got a brand new 700 SPS Varmint from Santa today. Got it all decked out with B&C stock and Zeiss glass and then tried to cycle some rounds through it and I have vertical deep scratches from shoulder to the base of the brass. I found that the feed rails on both sides underneath are really sharp and fed the brass through and watched as the scratches were made. My question is, should I try to polish the rails on both sides and see if I can fix it myself or just send the rifle back to Remington? Will I void the warranty by trying to smooth them off do you think?
If you feel comfortable enough and think that the edges aren't so bad that polishing will do the trick then you can. I myself am not very "technically inclined" for that kind of stuff. I can figure out the problems with my guns but I have to have someone "fix" it for me.
Fix it yourself if you think you are able.
Send it back to Remington and let them fix it.
Fixing it myself would be my last option haha. With my luck, I would go to polish the ramp and the barrel would bend and break off.

Posted November 25, 2014 & filed under SIRENS History.
Soldiers who fought in the First World War, then called “The Great War,” and survived came home with devastating injuries to both body and mind. Over four million Americans served in the First World War, and served under ghastly conditions, facing for the first time in battle heavy artillery, machine guns, and poisonous gases.
And while these physical traumas were terrible, the internal traumas may have been far worse. PTSD – post-traumatic stress disorder – isn’t a new thing. Called “shell-shock” at the time of the Great War, the damage inflicted psychologically on soldiers servi ng in the war was unanticipated. Men in the 1900s were expected to be “masculine” and repress their emotions. Crying and breaking down were behaviors thought unacceptable, and were often cited as reasons for placement in insane asylums. Doctors, and the public, had no way to understand the experiences of these soldiers, and they were treated indifferently at best and punished for their behavior at worst.
The end of the war for these returning soldiers could not mean a return to “business as usual”, even if th at had been the hope. Technological advancements, urbanization, and immigration led directly to the social upheavals of the 1920s. With so many men serving, killed in action, or returning disabled in body and mind, women had been needed in the work force, and they were reluctant to return to domestic situations, which served to strengthen the cause of women’s suffrage and independence. This independence was evidenced by the adoption of less restrictive clothing and shorter skirts and the fad for shorter hair that was easier to manage.
Movements like pacifism, isolationism, and spiritualism grew following the end of the war as people sought to retreat from the horror. And the need for relief from the emotional traumas of the war may have contributed to the “anything goes” atmosphere that prevailed in the 1920s. Advertising, commercial manufacturing, the rise of the cinema, and the automobile promoted “new” and “more liberal” ideas that conflicted with the traditional thinking American soldiers left behind when then went off to fight.
Any war impacts the generation th at lives it and the decade that follows it, but the changes in society following World War 1 were rapid and extreme. It would have been a tough homecoming for those soldiers.
In my next post, what happened when women got the vote.

Your synopsis forms the basis for your query letter.
Almost all queries today are email cover letters; your manuscript or pages are sent as a Word attachment – but these are requirements you should establish first as some houses still prefer your pages in the body of the email and rarely do houses or agents ask for hard copy. Note also whether the editor/agent prefers pages (usually the first 10-20) or the full manuscript. Never send something from the middle of your novel.
All editors and agents will specify their requirements for submission, so follow those exactly.
The norm today is multiple submissions are acceptable as long as you notify the recipient of your intent. My advice is to limit multiple submissions to 3-4 agents/editors in each round, and if you should hear back in the positive let the others still considering your submission know that you have interest right away. Also, the norm today is that if you don’t hear back in three months, consider your work rejected. Not nice, not fair, but that’s what it is.
Should be no longer than a single typed page. Seriously. Shorter is better.
Should be addressed to the individual editor/agent. Check spelling, check your facts. Find out what the editor/agent has previously edited/agented because you will tell them why you believe your work is a good fit for them.
Your middle should be your synopsis or a reasonable facsimile thereof. This is where you really pitch your story, with an enticing, engaging summary based on your synopsis. Don’t go into details; leave the editor/agent hanging and wanting more – you are pitching your concept and selling your book.
Your ending summarizes your previous publications if any, and your professional writing related experience (i.e., membership in SCBWI or other professional organization, MA/MFA from wherever, whether you are/have been a teacher or librarian). Non-writing related experience need not be mentioned.
Don’t tell the editor/agent that your mother/aunt/children/students loved the story.
Don’t go on and on with gushy personal feelings.
Do sound professional, serious, and educated.
After sending this out for a couple of rounds, if you’ve had no interest, revise and try again. Good luck!

Hi Darlene! Please give readers a synopsis of WHEELS OF CHANGE.
Racial intolerance, social change, sweeping progress. It is a turbulent time growing up in 1908. For twelve year old Emily Soper, life in Papa’s carriage barn is magic. Emily is more at home hearing the symphony of the blacksmith’s hammer, than trying to conform to the proper expectations of females. Many prominent people own Papa’s carriages. He receives an order to make one for President Theodore Roosevelt. Papa’s livelihood becomes threatened by racist neighbors, and horsepower of a different sort. Emily is determined to save Papa’s business even if she has to go all the way to the President.
I love stories like yours that are set on the cusp of change. What inspired you to choose this particular time period and the shift from the era of carriage to car?
There were two family facts I discovered while researching my family tree. One was that my paternal grandmother’s father was a carriage maker in Washington DC at the turn of the Twentieth Century. The other was that grandma received an invitation to a reception held at the White House by Theodore Roosevelt. She attended that reception and met TR. The story grew from there.
While I was doing research I discovered just how much change was taking place during this time period in history. The more I looked, the more I realized how frightening it must have been to many people. I wanted to show how change affects us all and can bring welcome and unwelcome things into our lives. It’s up to each of us to decide the importance of those changes. We can’t stop change–it still happens all around us. But, if we make it work for us, we can see a better outcome.
Emily is a strong character. Do you generally begin with character or with plot?
I usually gravitate toward characters first, trying to find something special or unique that makes that particular character stand out. I also enjoy where the characters take me in a story; it is often to a place I hadn’t envisioned. Plot is always more difficult for me. I generally need several rewrites to flesh out plot elements. With WOC several plot elements were expanded or added after the manuscript was accepted.
You have several important subplots (in particular, Henry’s). Please tell us about them and how they came to be.
Henry was always part of the story. I wanted a character that was unexpected for the time and place, yet real and meaningful to Emily and her family. I doubt that a person of color like Henry would have been employed by my great-grandfather; but it seemed important to make that happen.
The rights and gender roles of girls and women became more fleshed out in rewrites than in my original version. The subplot with William and the mouse was also added later, as was the thread buying scene, and Emily building a miniature carriage for Papa. It amazes me how an editor – especially one who also writes, like Marissa Moss my editor at Creston Books – can make a suggestion that takes my mind in a whole new direction. I love that part of the revision process.
Do you have anything new in the works?
I have two projects actually. The first is a PB titled TOGETHER ON OUR KNEES about a little known abolitionist and suffragist, Matilda Joslyn Gage. The other is an MG historical set in a Pennsylvania mining town during Prohibition.

If you read my “Synopsis” post, you’ll see that you’ve already got a start on crafting a logline. But we’re going to take it a step further.
A logline is a one-sentence summary of your story. Think about a movie poster, with its brief but compelling summary, or the cover grab of your favorite best-seller. Those are loglines. And why do you need one? In part because you may experience an elevator moment.
Now, a caveat. If you go to a writer’s conference, whether SCBWI, local or national, or any other, you will encounter agents and editors. Since the basic premise of all world behavior is “be nice” it follows that you will not, no never, ever, confront an agent or editor with an unsolicited pitch. As in never. Do I need to repeat?
This is when you need a logline. Not a full-on pitch (that’s a longer item, for another time), but a one-sentence-can-be-told-in-30-seconds-or-less summary of your story. You can use it in that elevator moment, and you can use it in your query. Honing a good logline will also help you focus on what’s most important about your story.
In the 17th Century Caribbean Sea the roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow joins forces with a young blacksmith to rescue a governor’s daughter and reclaim his ship.
In a dystopian future where one segment of society rules all teen girl Katniss Everdeen takes her sister’s place in a televised game to fight to the death.
Put these elements together in a sentence that speaks to the high stakes of your story and you’ll have your logline.

Each time I attend a writing conference I’m reminded that one of the trickiest things to do correctly is write a synopsis. And yet the synopsis forms the basis of a query, so the more powerful you can make your synopsis, the better your query.
I’ll post on queries soon, but I’d like to give you a worksheet on synopses here. This worksheet will hopefully guide you through the steps you need in order to craft the strongest synopsis of your work.
You’ll be able to download this as a pdf file. Happy writing!
And to read about crafting loglines, see next post here.

Full disclosure: Lindsey is a dear friend. I’ve admired her work for as long as we’ve known one another – almost ten years! And we are agency mates, clients of Erin Murphy. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Please give readers a synopsis of EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN.
I was sucked into the story right away, and I confess that one reason was that Tommy is such a strong presence even in absence. How did you come to feel about Tommy?
I’m glad you felt Tommy’s presence strongly. Originally, he showed up in one of the stories when the novel was linked short stories that all occurred around this patch of dirt by the side of the road called the pull out. It was my critique partner Anne Bustard who said, “I think this particular story might be a bit bigger.” That’s when I went back in and did a floor to ceiling kind of renovation of the book and Tommy became a thread through all the stories.
I love the multiple points of view, the interweaving story lines. Did you write this novel in a linear fashion?
Do you mean did I write it from start to finish with a beginning, middle and end? Nope. When it was linked short stories, I wrote them one after another. Boom. Boom. Boom. But after I had the piece of Tommy going missing, I had a time frame so I had to weave each thread in relation to the moment he disappears. That’s all when I added in the first person sections of the kids who knew Tommy. Gradually, I found that what I was doing was writing around the negative space. If you have something or someone who goes missing, what remains is cast in sharp relief. Even if Tommy wasn’t part of another character’s life, his absence still affects that character. Like, when you lose your keys, you are kind off course looking for it and all the people you ask if they’ve seen them start looking and they go a little off course. Or worse, when your child wanders away from you at a store and you and everyone around you goes into a freak out until you find her. So if the center of a story goes missing, everything wobbles. I wanted all the stories around Tommy to have that feeling that life is just a little bit off course.
You know, Tommy would say that I did write the novel in a linear fashion because I wrote it in linear time whether or not I went back and shifted the structure of the book. That’s the kind of guy he is. I feel his presence every day. I probably always will.
The notes are brilliant, allowing us to see not only more deeply into Tommy’s way of thinking, but they connect the story of his disappearance with the physics of dimensional possibility. Was that something you came up with early on?
Almost as soon as Tommy showed up in my imagination, I knew he was a bright geeky kid who was a little bit off socially. Once his absence was a central thread, I started keeping Tommy’s journal. I wanted to know the way he thought. I wanted to know who he was. What I discovered was this brilliant kid who was in the middle of having his mind blown by particle physics. I knew his journal was important but all that I included in the manuscript that sold to FSGBYR was that little snippet at the beginning, which is still there. My editor Joy Peskin loved it so I included a bit more when I did a revision for her.
I believe I recall that this novel was inspired by true events. Is that correct? If not, where did it come from?
In the category of truth is stranger than fiction, I was double checking facts and I called the Blanco Chamber of Commerce because I set EVIDENCE in that neck of the Texas Hill Country in a town about the size of Blanco and I needed to check a few facts. I told the woman who answered the phone what my book was about and there was this long pause. “We had a boy that sounds just like your character who went missing a few years ago.” Then my side of the phone went silent. Turns out the boy came back but he had whole town in an uproar for a couple weeks. Wild, eh?
As for the stories in the rest of the book, they aren’t real but they are inspired by real events. For instance, when I interviewed Karla Faye Tucker on death row many years ago, I couldn’t stop thinking about how her story had led her to kill someone. Like where did the stitch in the fabric of her life break so that the whole tapestry unravels one very bad night? She haunted me until she showed up in this book.
Truth and factual events captivate me. Then I like to go back and look at the why and how of it. I’m a sucker for epiphanies. I love the aha of life.
That’s an amazing story. We were at Vermont College of Fine Arts together, a memory and friendship I cherish. Was any of this novel a part of your Vermont College experience?
When I graduated from VCFA, two stories–Comic Book and Lost–are in my creative thesis. But what was really important about the VCFA experience and this novel was faith. Faith in my writing. Faith in following and developing an idea. Faith that my ideas were worthy. I don’t know if I could have found that faith without going to VCFA. Every month for two years, I leaped off a cliff and sent my advisors pages and pages of writing. Each month, I made those pages better with tools in my writer’s toolbox. The VCFA experience was pivotal in my development as a writer and certainly this book.
You know the title of this novel comes from a quote in the bible about faith: “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” In way, this book is a result of that faith in myself as a writer.
What’s your typical writing process? Plotter, or pantser?
Hmmm, I bet I’m going to write every book just a little bit different every time. Even though, I probably pantsed my way into this novel, I held each thread in my head before I wrote them down. I knew where I was going with each section. I knew who the characters were.
On the next book, I purposefully journaled for quite a while. I figured out the characters, the backstory, the crisis and the climax. What was most important was finding the inciting incident. It is the moment that makes the story unravel to an inevitable conclusion. I think of backstory as the hand of god. The reader will believe one coincidence at the beginning of the book. I try to make sure that one coincidence will make all the dice in the hand of god fall on the table. Gradually. Inexorably. Fatalistically. Lovingly. (I have to absolutely love my characters.) After I finish drafting and let it rest, that’s probably when I will do that hard work of making sure it hangs together on the arc of a plot. I do like to write intuitively when I’m drafting but I’m holding the story in my head so I have a map of where I’m going. If writing a novel is like a road trip, then I’m all about the surprises along the way in the first draft. I still get to the destination because I have the map but I’m stopping at cafes and pull outs and overlooks all along the way.
The working title is Inside the Notes. Here is the inciting incident: A young girl arrives in Boston. First time away from home. She is staying with a couple near the music conservatory where she is studying for four weeks. As she is unpacking, the clock radio in her room clicks on (the coincidence) and she hears men’s voices reading poetry and letters. It is a prison radio show. The girl knows her father is in prison for killing her mother when she was two years old. It is the first time she has considered he might be real and have a voice. The journey begins.

I’m pleased to announce that my second novel and the companion to FAITHFUL, FORGIVEN, is now available as an e-book on Amazon Kindle for $2.99.
Kula Baker never expected to find herself on the streets of San Francisco in 1906. The daughter of an outlaw, Kula is soon swept up in a world of art and intrigue – a world she hardly dared dream of back in Montana. She meets handsome David Wong, whose smiling eyes and soft-spoken manner have an uncanny way of breaking through Kula’s carefully crafted reserve. Yet when a mighty earthquake strikes and the wreckage threatens all she holds dear, Kula realizes that only by unlocking her heart can she begin to carve a new future for herself.
This is the second launch for FORGIVEN. Unfortunately, it’s been out of print for almost a year, but fortunately my options as an author with an out-of-print book are now greater than ever.
I’ll share a bit of my journey in case you’re curious or in the same position.
I couldn’t be happier with the design, which pulls together an image of San Francisco after the earthquake and fires of 1906 with the period flavor of the girl’s clothing and the sense of searching that dominates the novel.
I found Elijah after scouring the web for cover designers and choosing him for the clarity of his designs. I also had advice on all matters including cover design from Chris Eboch and Dotti Enderle, who have much experience with e-book creation. And I should add that Elijah’s price was extremely reasonable.
After returning my electronic rights to me, my publisher graciously supplied me with an epub version of the manuscript. This was great, because it allowed me to retain much of the interior design; but Amazon uses mobi files, not epub, and I’d decided to launch with KDP Select because the terms are better for me.
My web designer Lynn Kinnaman helped me by converting the epub first to Word and then to mobi, and then we set up the book to publish. We had to go through several corrections but Amazon makes that easy by allowing you to preview the text since sometimes glitchy little software errors do creep in. I looked through the text carefully because I find it no fun to read an ebook with quirky issues.
If you have a final, clean manuscript in Microsoft Word, it’s much easier to go from there, but all interior design has to be removed. Frankly, I was thrilled to have Lynn’s help, as my left-braininess doesn’t extend to the tedious job of formatting.
It felt like it took forever, but really the process was very easy, thanks to all the advice and help. If you have questions, please fire away!

I’m pleased that my contemporary young adult short story Jewels, set in New York City, is included in this anthology of work by Bozeman-area authors. The anthology, published by Bangtail Press, is available exclusively at Country Bookshelf in Bozeman, Montana.
Wren pulls on a knee-high and slips her right foot into the shoe. The leather glows; her foot is dainty. A princess foot. She slips on the left. She steps away from Violet, away from the saleswoman, walks across the floor to the mirror, where only her feet appear, her torso sliced off at mid-thigh.
Her feet, in those emerald skins, could walk right out of the store and no one would know it was her. They might think, that’s Violet’s BFF. That’s Violet.
“I’ll take them,” she hears Violet say. Wren turns. Smiling, Violet leans toward the saleswoman and hands over a credit card. Wren purses her lips.
Wren lifts one shoulder and says, “Okay.” She takes the wallet from Violet and fishes out her card, placing it flat in the saleswoman’s palm. Wren feels hot, then cold, as her card slides through the reader.
Violet moves off, examining one pair of shoes after another. The saleswoman flips the tissue over the shoes, snaps the top down.

Fantasia announces a 2nd wave of 2014 titles!
Montreal, Thursday June 26, 2014 – Following last week’s first wave of programming announcements, the Fantasia International Film Festival is proud to unveil additional highlights to rev you up for our July 10th Press Conference, where our full 2014 film lineup will be revealed.
Fantasia will close its 2014 edition with the North American Premiere of Abel Ferrara’s WELCOME TO NEW YORK, the controversial latest from the legendary filmmaker behind such landmarks as BAD LIEUTENANT, KING OF NEW YORK, NEW ROSE HOTEL and the recently re-released MS 45.
WELCOME TO NEW YORK is loosely based on the DSK scandal and stars the iconic Gérard Depardieu in one of the bravest performances of his career. Co-starring is the equally sensational Jacqueline Bisset.
We are proud to be presenting Tobe Hooper with a Lifetime Achievement Award on the 40th anniversary of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, in front of the Canadian premiere of the film’s stunning new 4K restoration.
An underground comic artist mocks the wrong mobster and loses his drawing hand in retribution. The artist may be silenced, but the severed appendage returns, to continue drawing comics on its own - and commit some seriously bloody acts of vengeance! A splatter horror comedy about freedom of expression that’s as touching as it is profane. World Premiere.
Offered a chance to spy on his it-girl fixation (Sasha Grey), fan-site webmaster Nick (Elijah Wood) is drawn into in a sinister, voyeuristic plot. An ever-surprising, Hitchcock-inspired mind-bender from genius trickster-director Nacho Vigalondo that breaks all kinds of storytelling ground in exciting ways. Canadian Premiere.
A fascinating, hallucinatory documentary on plasmodial slime mold - a unique and bizarre organism, worthy of the weirdest science fiction, inviting profound reflections on intelligence, engineering, social dynamics, and the intersection of art and science. Enriching the otherworldly atmosphere is an appropriately subtle yet unsettling score by post-rock icon Jim O’Rourke (Tortoise, Sonic Youth, UNITED RED ARMY). One of the most astonishing films you’ll see anywhere this year, co-directed by polyvalent artist Tim Grabham and Midnight Eye co-creator Jasper Sharp. World Premiere.
A washing machine, the bathroom sink, even a puddle on the floor - only a few drops and the hideous Drownsman can pull you down into his watery hell! A new twist on the classic horror-movie stalker scenario, from the Canadian genre genies that brought you ANTISOCIAL and NEVERLOST. World Premiere.
Fresh, fun and frightening, this wonderfully inventive comedy/horror from New Zealand launched at SXSW and emerged on many critics’ lists as one of the top discoveries of the festival. It deconstructs conventional formulas of haunted house narratives and surprises with left-field twists that will leave you joyously slack-jawed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Stars Morgana O'Reilly and Rima Te Wiata. Canadian Premiere.
A pitch-perfect picaresque adventure laced with loads of decidedly Scandinavian black humour, Jonas Jonasson’s 2009 novel quickly became a Swedish bestseller, and has since sold over three million copies worldwide. Felix Herngren has struck gold with his brisk, witty, wisely assembled big-screen adaptation starring comedian/actor Robert Gustafsson, who captures Karlsson’s character through so many stages of his tumultuous existence. Official Selection: Seattle International Film Festival. Canadian Premiere.
An isolated, understaffed police station becomes a fortress of horror in this atmospheric and ultra-violent Irish chiller, which unfolds like an especially sinister TWILIGHT ZONE episode crash-landed into hell. Stars Polyanna McIntosh, Liam Cunningham and Douglas Russell. Winner of the Melies D’argent at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival. North American Premiere.
Alexandra Essoe, Amanda Fuller, Noah Segan and Pat Healy star in this horrific tale of an aspiring actress unhinging herself by plunging headlong into the demeaning depths of Tinseltown. A chilling examination of the grisly fallout when a soul-corrupting industry seizes upon a soul that has already begun to fester from the inside. A hit at the Stanley Film Festival, winner of the Director's Choice Award at the Boston Underground Film Festival. Canadian Premiere.

Since its publication in September 1900, L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has become America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale. The first totally American fantasy for children, it is one of the most-read children's books. It has also engendered a long series of sequels, stage plays and musicals, movies and television shows, biographies of Baum, scholarly studies of the significance of the book and film, advertisements, and toys, games, and other Oz-related products.
The Oz story has become a classic because it blends elements of traditional magic, such as witches, with ones from early twentieth-century American reality, such as a Kansas cyclone, a scarecrow, and a man made of tin. And, despite its many particularly American attributes, including a wizard from Omaha, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has universal appeal, demonstrated by numerous non-American translations and dramatizations. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of this timeless American classic, the Library of Congress has supplemented its unparalleled collections with costumes and other memorabilia borrowed from museums, other libraries, and private collectors.
