CH Jackpot Kingsbury Beamer

There is only one all breed show in the Midwest this weekend and that is the Evansville Kennel Club in Princeton. We hear that David Jay Hyman’s Best In Show was the Harrier, CH Jackpot Kingsbury Beamer. We think every BIS by a rare breed is special, but we are told that Beamer’s win is the first by a breeder handled Harrier. Beamer was bred by Kevin Shupenia & Donna Smiley-Auborn, is owned Dorothy Shettle, Linda Whitney & Chuck Whitney, and handled by Kevin. Congratulations to them all.

Rangers Put Up a Flurry Against Buffalo, UFC Thoughts, NJPW & More

How about that beautiful shirt from WEBLEEDBLUE.com? What a way to open up the new year by the New York Rangers and here on DOINow.com. As always, check out the archives on the right hand of the site and feel free to spread the word about this blog!

The Rangers held their first game of the year, at the new MSG, this past Saturday night, embarrassing the last place Buffalo Sabres 6-1. The game was over 10 minutes into the first period, as the Rangers earned their fans a 50% off coupon at Papajohns, if you choose to eat that shit, by scoring 3 consecutive powerplay goals.

This game was exactly what the Rangers needed and exactly what they should’ve done. Sometimes when you hear stats, trends and facts suggesting one thing, usually, the game plays out another way. However, in this case, everything happened the way they should’ve. After all, the Sabres started  their back-up goalie, Michal Neurvirth, who played last night. The Rangers should’ve blown away the Sabres, if they were really an upper-echelon playoff team, and the Rangers just did that.

The Rangers powerplay was a thing of beauty. I can’t remember clicking this well at any other point this year. The days of the Tortorella PP seemed like a distant memory watching this game. The Rangers got 3 quick power play goals, all in succession, by Brassard, Kreider and Nash. MSL assisted on two of the power play goals, with one excellent pass to Brassard. The Rangers really worked the deflection tonight and they were all over Buffalo.

If that wasn’t enough, Dan Boyle threw in an even strength goal, making it 4-0 by the time the first period ended. Fans were already checking the train schedules home, as this game was done in the first period!

Carl Hagelin extended the lead to 5-0 in the second, before Henrik Lundqvist allowed a soft goal to Drew Stafford immediately afterwards. I guess you can’t blame Hank at this point, he’s like a new puppy. Whenever the Rangers get a huge goal, he immediately lets the other team score on him. It’s happened all season, and it happened here. At 5-1, it doesn’t bother you as much.

That wasn’t all. Jesper Fast, fighting for the 12th forward spot on this stacked forward team, added another goal. Between Fast & Miller, Tanner Glass is having a hard time cracking into this line-up, pun intended.

Henrik Lundqvist, who I’ve been hard on all season, and justifiably so, earned his keep, saving 24/25 shots, against the last place Sabres. I thought Tablot should’ve started this game, since it seemed like an easy game and would’ve gave Hank some rest, but AV likes to start Hank against cream puff teams to boost his stats and ego. Of note, no reporters asked any of the Rangers about Zuccarello taking a team picture without King Contract in it.

Hank was tested hard twice in the game and came up big. He gave up juicy rebounds and was out of position, but he was able to hold down the fort, outside of the soft goal to Stafford. His level of play has increased. Let’s see if AV has the balls to start him all 3 games on this west coast trip against top competition.

There’s not much to say about this game except that it was a complete team effort. Everyone played well. The only thing you could really shake your head on was a silly icing by JT Miller before all the goal scoring in the first period. However, that’s being nit-picky.

This win may have been the biggest complete team effort all season. Everyone played sharp. This is a game the Rangers should’ve dominated. They did.  Great teams should destroy weak teams. The Rangers did just that against the Sabres. This game featured slick passing, great defense and many lit lamps. The guy who has to play the Rangers horn after every goal got a work-out tonight. A work-out any Rangers fan is happy to see.

However, play time is over. The Rangers now embark on  tough 3 game road trip on the west coast, taking on the Ducks, Kings and Sharks, before returning home to the Islanders. There are no weak teams on the horizon. This will be a litmus test for the Rangers and it’s time to handle business.

All I have to really add is that the Rangers did their job and did it well tonight. It’s hard to judge anything, because Buffalo is atrocious. We will find out who these Rangers are come next week at this time.

I’ll be back Thursday to recap the first Rangers road-trip game against the Ducks. Until then, I give everyone on the Rangers an A+. Everyone held their own, did their jobs and showed why you don’t want to face the Rangers on any given night. LETS GO RANGERS.

After the Rangers put an asswhipping on Buffalo and after 2 NFL playoff games, I was ready for some UFC. As a customer of UFC, I go out of my way to watch the big fights, but skip the small shows. UFC just runs too many shows to keep up on. I prefer the days of old. Even one PPV a month is too much for me. However, the big fights I’m either at a bar, or invite friends over and order it. Due to shitty weather here, I decided to buy the PPV and have some friends over.

UFC is a niche sport. I feel when you watch it with casual or non-fans, you’re trying to sell the sport to the people you’re watching it with. Luckily, one of my friends is into it as much as I am. The others either fell asleep or went home after the football. Tonight’s show was a tough show to sell a new fan on. I miss those Strikeforce Showtime shows of old, where you had a 2 hour show with exciting finishes. It’s tough to attract new viewers or sell the sport to casuals when you have a PPV show full of decision finishes.

I’m not going to recap every fight. Go check out the MMA sites for expert recap and for the results. I will say, I enjoyed the PPV, but even as a hardcore fan, I found the show boring. It’s tough to be up and get amped for slow fights that drag to a decision.

I was glad to see Cowboy Cerrone win, and hopefully, he will get a title shot in the future. He is marketable for the UFC and he’s always got a fighting chance to win.

The main event sold me on this show. I just miss the old UFC’s, where you would get 2-3 marketable fights. It’s easier to sell on your casual friends and you get rid of all the dreck that it takes to get to the big fights.

As far as Jones vs Cormier, I thought Cormier fought a great fight. He fought his fight. However, Jones is just a phenomenal athlete. The one thing that I enjoyed the most, was that these guys didn’t do the usual post-match hug or interview praising their opponent. I paid for this show, thinking that these guys really do hate each other. I left this show thinking the same thing. I didn’t feel like a “mark” who was sold on a fake issue after this event.

Many times, after purchasing these expensive PPV’s, I feel ripped off. I didn’t get that feeling tonight, but I also didn’t feel like I got a great show either. That’s the crapshoot when you buy these events. Overall, I enjoyed the night with my friends and felt the UFC delivered a solid event. I’m looking forward to 1/31.

As you’re reading this, it’s 3:30AM, EST on Sunday morning. I’m wide awake and decided to order the NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 9 PPV. Luckily, Cablevision told me this would be a free purchase when I decided to cancel my order. Why did I decide to cancel? Cablevision said this would be in HD, but it came in SD. That was all it took when I complained, and since I’m a “Gold” customer, Cablevision said this sushi shit show was on the house.

I’m halfway through this show and I’m not impressed at all. I doubt I will do a full review of this show because I’m not hooked or entertained. I’ve been doing WWE reviews recently, because I have enjoyed the product for different reasons, such as the MSG House Show entertaining kids and a Raw that I thought hit on all cylinders. I’m not going to waste my time doing a review for the sake of being negative, so I’ll just give my quick thoughts here.

The first match was a 4 man tag team match. Nothing makes sense. I feel like this match is a fuck you to Shawn Michaels. Every team does 287374343 super kicks and no one sells. This comes off as totally indy and not major league level. There’s no selling and there is no story to be told. It’s just a collection of botched and overly contrived spots.

The presentation is also terrible. Being in SD in 2014 comes off indy and not professional at all. The crowd is about 30 feet away from the action which takes the crowd heat out of the match for me.

One of the reasons I ordered is because Jim Ross was doing commentary. However, he doesn’t know anything about the product, which means he knows less than me. He’s probably mentioned Bruiser Brody about 3838483 times, which would be relevant if it wasn’t 1985. Matt Striker, who is terrible on commentary, just hits his basic cliches and stuff he reads off wikipedia.

I’m a new viewer of NJPW. The announcers haven’t explained to me once why any of these matches were happening. Maybe that’s because of the booking, but how should I know? This is supposed to be their Wrestlemania, but it just comes off as a collection of botched indy spotfests. It would be great if the announcers told me why these matches were happening. There is no story telling at all.

Maybe I’m too Americanized. However, I miss the video packages that I complain about during WWE PPVs. If you order a WWE PPV, you know why matches are taking place and 20 minutes of video packages are a waste of time. However, this is a PPV for a new audience. A video package explaining what and why I’m seeing something would be crucial.

I know JR did his homework, but he comes off just like me, a new viewer. He said he didn’t want to pronounce words because he didn’t know how. I get the allure of JR, and that’s why I bought the show, but the announcers aren’t doing anything for me. I’d be interested if other people agree with this. JR also seems to be calling out the wrestlers for not selling or telling a story, which I wonder is because he’s just as American as me. I also wonders what melts faster next to a high powered radiator – plastic or Matt Striker. Just brutal.

Anyway, as I leave you, I’m sticking with this NJPW PPV before I fall asleep. The grainy SD and JR & Striker running through their cliches should get me there in no time.

Let’s go Lions.

Robert Peston aka Hamlet

Have you noticed that since the credit crunch has taken over just about every news story coming out of our TVs at the moment, Robert Peston is getting as much time on TV as Lorraine Kelly?

It's true he is on every 6 o'clock bulletin now. With his quips about the financial woes of the country and how it's all the fat cat bankers who are to blame.

He is really making the most of his time on the box and it's like he treats every link as if it's an RSC production. Last night with the announcement that Bradford and Bingley were basically done for he was in super form, drawing huge amounts of breathe and then snorting it out with disgust.

Why can't he talk normally? The situation is bad enough without him coughing all over it. His intonation is like an excited five-year-old asking for some sweets from his mummy and why does he pause for absolutely no reason whatsoever?!

I hope this CC is over soon so we only have to see Peston on Comic Relief and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

I totally agree. And how did he climb to such a position in broadcasting with a sttttutter? His intonation is mental.

Marketing Your Social Media Presence

YOld school marketing tactics are needed to pump up your social media presenceour a brand manager and those non-tech types keep telling you that they want your company on Facebook. They want videos and they want whatever that Twitter thing is.

What they don't know is that their old school mentality is exactly what's needed to get the new school mentality going.

What I mean is that social media isn't a field a dreams. If you build it, they won't come. You need to listen to the questions of the guy in the field, i.e. your audience. Get at the heart of what they're asking for and give them what they need.

However, just like Ray Kinsela (played by Kevin Costner), you have to do your homework and use all the tools in your arsenal to get the people to "show up."

For example, if you're a business to business widget manufacturer and want to set up a Facebook fan page to keep your customers up to date on innovations in the space, they won't know that the fan page is there unless you market it.

Put the Facebook logo on your website. Put the URL to the Facebook page on your business cards. Make the Facebook link as part of your company's email signatures. And, by the way, don't forget about all those materials you print and bring to trade shows. Slap the Facebook logo and the URL on them.

In order for your social media tactics to work, you have to treat them like a product. You have to market them just like you would a website. If people don't know it's there, they won't find it.

Attention spans are getting smaller and smaller and people need constant and subtle reminders within their flow of the day that these channels are there to educated, entertain and connect with them on some level.

It's important to remember that social media is just another marketing channel. And just like your other marketing channels, it needs to work in tandem with the other tools to give your audience a holistic view of your company, products or services.

Bead & Button 2008 was as exciting as last year, perhaps even more so since we were caught right in the middle of heavy thunderstorms and tornado alerts during the entire time we were in Milwaukee. On Saturday both vendors and buyers were 'locked in' the building as one tornado decided to whizz through or at least was nearby Milwaukee.

I began lampworking yesturday after returning from Milwaukee on 9 June and taking a well-needed break. After each long-haul flight and event, I feel very exhausted - not just physically but mentally. I guess age is catching up on me!

I made small disc beads which can be woven into bracelets or neckpieces - aka 'Robin Atkins Beaded Treasures' styles. These discs may be also made into and worn as single pendants, and therefore I made some larger disc beads for that purpose. My next step is to have them lined with sterling silver tubes.

I decided to show you the beads taken directly from the top as well as a frontal shot as beads viewed from the top tend not to have a three-dimensional feeling.

Very Official As Of Today

As of today, I am officially going on an indefinite sabbatical with my lampworking. It's been delightful for the past almost-nine years with my bead making, being to share my portfolio on the Internet with the entire world. As tough as it is to make this decision, I long to use other media to express my creativity and unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on how you want to view it) my glass bead making no longer generates that kick or challenge I, as a "thrill-seeker" (no pain, no gain...), look for whenever I sit at the torch.

This morning, my faithful old Nortel Minor was the first to be bubble-wrapped - yes, it was a humbling and emotional experience (though no tears shed, no, no, I have yet to humanize my torch) to wrap my baby in bubble pack!!! - she's been with me since the start of my lampworking. Exactly two weeks after I started with lampworking - I used a hothead during the first two weeks and was banished by my family to practice in the kitchen as the hothead was terribly loud - I bought my Nortel Minor (she is music to the ears after the hothead!). Then, about two years later, I began a three-to-four-year affair with a Lynx torch. Well, the Lynx was not as faithful as my Minor, he was high-maintenance and I hadn't taken enough care of him. What else can one expect from a fella??!! Before he dumped me totally, I dumped him first. Anyway, my dear Minor took over where the Lynx left off and she's been the main drive behind my beads for the past years.

I still have beads from past to present that I shall be listing for sale. I shan't disappear altogether for now. Who knows when the faithful Minor will emerge again. There is a possibility for the old to join in with the new adventures. I like to leave a gap and not close the door completely, but for now, it's time to concentrate on my new ventures.

I hope you will continue to join me on this blog for more updates on my new adventures. Thank you for being around and following my work - may I leave you with my new beads I made recently.

Microsoft Office 2010 Web apps revealed

Take a look at the Microsoft Office 2010 Web apps, which will allow you to work on your presentations, documents, and spreadsheets from anywhere.

One of the biggest new additions to Microsoft Office 2010 (review) is the ability to use Web apps to access your work anywhere. Though they're not as feature-rich as their counterparts in the desktop version, we think many will find them useful for edits, changes, and even sketching out ideas while away from the office.

Microsoft made Web versions of the most used apps in the office suite including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote. All offer enough basic features to work on the go, and you can always transfer a document back to your desktop for further tweaks when you return to the office.

How Are You Different? The Three Key Principles Of Differentiation

Posted by Michael Lindberg on Jun 16, 2017 10:43:54 AM

principles of differentiation

“Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two – and only two – basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs. Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.”

- Peter Drucker

Producing Results

Innovation and marketing really do – or at least should – go hand in hand. Without product innovation you might as well close down operations today rather than tomorrow. It’s a great shame that most new products end up as failures, but there is a very good reason for this: Too much focus on ”business as usual”, not enough on customer value.

According to Clayton Christensen, a professor at the Harvard Business School, most companies make the understandable, but grave mistake of trying to outsmart their competitors by continuously developing products that are a little faster, better, smaller and so on. However, the customers don’t really demand these minor improvements: in many cases they just end up making the products more expensive without offering any real differentiation. And differentiation really is the name of the game.

Key Principles Of Differentiation

With so much competition, markets are driven by choice today; customers have huge choice, and companies that don’t stand out will get lost in the crowd. Indeed, companies must address differentiation in three key ways:

  1. If you try to be everything for everybody, you very soon undermine what makes you different
  2. If you ignore changes in the market, your difference can become less important and make you obsolete
  3. If you stay in the shadow of your larger competitors and never establish your uniqueness you will always be weak

These are some of the lessons taught by Jack Trout who, together with Al Ries, is one of the founders and pioneers of positioning theory: i.e. about how you create an impression in the customers’ minds that is different from your competitors’ position. One of the most successful ways to differentiate your company from the competition is through an innovative business model. Although many people associate business model innovation with the likes of Apple, Uber, and Netflix, the case of Xerox from the 1950's is as relevant today as it ever was.

Business Model Innovation

In 1959 Xerox introduced the revolutionary dry-process, plain-paper Xerox 914 copierThere was one problem though; it cost six times the price of the traditional alternative and consequently was extremely difficult to sell. Therefore, they had to develop a new business model. Rather than selling the machine, they leased it for $95 a month and charged a few cents per copy for copies made in excess of 2,000 per month. Due to the speed and convenience of the Xerox 914, customers started making many more copies than they had previously, which meant that the copier that could not be sold suddenly became a huge revenue generator - because of an alternative business model. You must find a way to do the same.

Osel Tendzin--Sex Scandal and Aids

Letters of The Current Situation

In late November 1988, rumors began to circulate that the Vajra Regent Ösel Tendzin was sick with AIDS and that he may have infected a sangha member with HIV. Regardless of your point of view on the issues, the turmoil that followed was excruciating and heartbreaking.

Many sangha members called for the Regent to step down, and many others expressed their support of the Regent's continued leadership.

The Current Situation (TCS), as it was known, grew into a bitter dispute that seemed unresolvable, and over the course of the next three years, generated a flurry of letters and official statements, several of which are presented on this page (see below). Most of these letters and documents were widely circulated at the time. But the last three — Karl Springer's letter to Khyentse Rinpoche in July 1991, and Khyentse Rinpoche's letters in reply to Karl Springer and Patrick Sweeney a few weeks later — have only recently come to light and are presented here for the first time in a public format.

Khyentse Rinpoche died just seven weeks after these letters were sent. Before his death, he left copies with one of his students for safekeeping and said that they might be useful someday. Last summer (2005) these letters made their way to North America, where they passed through several hands before finding their way to the Chronicles.

Happy Birthday Bruce

 Happy Birthday Bruce - I am sure you really enjoy all that biking - this was the best photo I could steal from you - all the others would not play ball. And I am sure you will look so much better tonight!

 Just so you remember your heritage - a little kiwi pressed into Modeling paste for a bit of depth

and the beautiful city of Wellington where you were born just a few years ago - the cable car took us up to to the university where you and Grant enjoyed your time at the varsity creche while your mother worked hard.....

This is better

 Catching up on my errant ways. I like to blog but time has simply slipped off the radar. We have bought ourselves new chair covers for our favourite little corner - bought them from a place in Sydney but I would never deal with her again. When they arrived (despite sending measurements) they were too narrow across the bottom but do you think she had the manners to reply to my emails? She could have replied and told us that they would stretch into place after a few sittings instead of having us cross and panicking. The other ones we have had for over 30 years and while they still were basically okay, were starting to tear in the corners. So now we are recoloured and revamped. See the chillie plant in the foreground? Very very hot little chillies and many of them.

 Friday night we went to the opening of the Fringe Festival - this was outside the Gardens of Pleasure looking down into town. Plenty of people around - we didn't go to any shows - just checking things out.

 We also went into the Cultural Centre - big queues - best avoided

Back at the Pleasure Gardens

My big desk still awaiting action but loving the transfers onto Evolon  and before anyone asks - that is a boab tree or two. Printing off info about Broome for transferring and colouring with Starburst Sprays. Thinking it might turn into a little book or something. This is such a great transfer idea - simple and easy.

If you like following my recipes, I have added a couple more on my recipe page.

Yes I am still here

 As we have continued to have plenty of hot weather, there is always one person who finds the right spots
This is one Harley found this week

 and a very comfy closeup - good excuse not to make the bed I guess until her ladyship is ready for a move

 Last Sunday we went to the new markets at Leederville and very impressed - we stocked up on lots of lovely fresh fruit and veggies  and prawns and coffee - we will be back early tomorrow. Aren't these flowers glorious? They fit our Indian Summer theme to a t
Last Monday - Ian bought me lovely roses because he knew how cross I was going to be - on Tuesday I had to report for jury service - you cannot get out of it in WA - even though I am not an Aust citizen. I see it all as a bullying sort of thing and don't lecture me about how we all should do it - I didn't see a single person looking excited. About 1000 people in a holding pen - I took winding - knitting - words to write - books to read and ignored the very important people bossing people around. People got called for 3 day trials - others got sent home and suckers like me got called for an 8 day trial - all 50 excited people I could see. I didn't have a chance to talk to the judge because I wasn't called but I can say that I have taken the interest to note that the trial has gone 8 days and will be on again on Tuesday. Poor suckers. So the flowers were gorgeous and on Tuesday night we went out to eat at Cocos in South Perth - not been there for a long time.

What have I been doing in my studio? Making a lot of mess - as you can see. Lots of lovely Magical Micas in this picture - they work on every surface I have tried. In front is a laser printed photo transferred onto Evolon - part of my family research stuff. Really enjoying this technique - not crisp like TAP but even looking at this image you can see it has worked pretty well. I have sprayed it with a Moonglow Spray for that silvery effect.

 Bruce's bike room - very neat and tidy - I remember a child whose bedroom drove me nuts.....

Good breakfast made by me - corn fritters - mushrooms and a salad  - much better value than what we had after the markets last Sunday if I may say so.

Is it hot today? YES

 It is very hot here today - 44 at least and a record - okay inside but between the house and the studio you wouldn't want to linger. Silly Harley, who is usually sleeping in her box under my desk in the afternoons, decided to lie outside in the sun but even when birds came close she didn't budge. Finally saw some sense and came back inside. I have been very busy this week working on a variety of things as well as proudly having all the clubs away by 10th (a miracle for me) and I finished this book cover for lots of my Kimberly Dreaming pieces.

I had a lot of scraps over - I keep everything when I am stitching and embellishing and as I am working with letters and words quite a bit at present I embellished lots of scraps on a flimsies and laid some scrim over the top then cut out a k and a d and crudely stitched them to one of the pieces I am working on. Lots of potential of ideas on this front.

 And look what turned up yesterday. A lovely gift from Shelagh - so wonderful - Unison pastels.

Lots of playing coming up - and dirty fingers as well. Love new toys.

I am working on another project as well and trying to coax Evolon to shrivel for me. Of course it burns and carves but this is something else for texture.

it's 2104 and moving right along - already

 When you go away you work very hard before you go and then start all over again when you get back - but it was a lovely break and our brains did have a holiday. Because it was about the 40th year I hadn't made my pavlova for Christmas, I decided to make it for the new year and very nice it was too. We paced ourselves with a helping each for a few days. We had a nice new year's eve in the back garden with a bbq and amazingly it has been quite cool at night although I think all of that is about to change.

I have spent all weekend working - surprise - packaging loads of Maori carded wool - it takes for ages and tomorrow I will do the last lot. I have more than enough things on my list but I am very pleased with myself becasue I have sent out all of the POMs - even though they are no longer on the web we still have a heap of people receiving them every month. Plus I have got quite a few of the clubs ready to post - and for me it is only 5th of the month. Plus I have a new club ready to announce as well.

 I have only been up to the studio late in the afternoon this weekend - bit of a swizz but I cut up lots of fabric for a project and have a big basket full up for tomorrow's action.

 The newspaper I was working on - I have now started on hand dyed fabric - added extras and twin needled it all. This is just a small section of something I am hoping to get done in time to enter it for an exhibition - if I don't finish I have other plans.

 I also cut and rolled our new hand dyed hessian - love stitching on this surface - and these are two of the little stacks. Ian has had the naming rights for the stacks. - http://www.thethreadstudio.com/catalogue/fab/hessian/stacks.htm

Tonight we took ourselves down to the river for fish n chips.

We exactly colour match the repair on site to your exiting sanitary ware, ensuring the repair will blend in 100%.

We also source obsolete sanitary ware.

Give us a call or fill in the quick quote on the right and we will get right back to you.

We thought our basin was beyond repair. I called Sara at DreamMaker and she asked me to send her a photo which I did. She got straight back and said it would be no problem to repair.  The technician who carried out the work ensured the rest of the bathroom was sheeted up and he swiftly completed the work. The end result was as good as new and we were delighted both with the service and the quality of work .

Okay, Cole, you're good to go. We get you. We get what you're doing behind the bar at Flight Risk. Even why you've got that motorcycle stashed in the alley out back instead of the Escalade. You're up, Lara.

"What do you mean, 'I'm up?' Do I look like someone who's ever held a baseball bat in her hands?"

Hmm. There's an idea.

"Yeah, a bad one."

Okay, then, what's your reason for being, kiddo?

"You know about my sister."

I need to get you into Flight Risk. I need to get you there on a certain night, at a certain time. I need to set up your meet. I need a good reason for Cole to take you to the safe house. I don't think your sister will do it. Too early to drag her into it. If we even keep her at all.

"Wait. You're gonna vanish my sister?"

Dunno. What do you think?

"Let me talk to Cole."

Your wish is my command, princess.

"What's up, baby?"

"Are you hearing this?"

"What do you want me to do, whip out my Glock?"

"You're supposed to be a bartender right now, G-man."

"Right. So what'll it be, Ace? And what are you doing here?"

"In Flight Risk."

"I got a tip."

"What kind of tip?"

"Yeah. Sure. Right. As if."

"You're gonna have to tell me, baby. One way or another. I can't protect you if you don't."

"I guess I could tell you. But then I'd have to--"

More Changes (Healing Hearts and Emma's dilemma)

Emma, Emma, Emma, my dear girl. You MUST stop going to the cliffs to spy on Adam.

"Do you think I do not know that? I am at my wit's end. My circumstances are dire. I cannot think what more to do...But there is something about the wretch that draws me. I cannot help myself. He is...a distraction."

Perhaps you are still in love with him?

"No! Never. Not after...what he did to Michael."

You know that was not his fault.

"I know nothing of the sort!"

Perhaps if you search your heart.

"My heart is frozen. And with one scant tin of tea remaining in my pantry, I cannot think of love."

Perhaps the viscount might help you.

"Look at him! Look at the way pain twists his features. And how he forces himself to exercise his wounded limb despite it. I cannot approach a man so determined and proud. I have that much pride left. Even if I have nothing else..."

I think he will help you, Emma.

"But at what cost?"

So I guess I'm keeping Betty Boop...and Taryn Kincaid.

Right now, she exists only in my imagination. And in Twitter, where she's got her own account. (So far, there's only a "testing-testing-testing" Tweet and only @ScrltLtr is following her. Funny how that works!)

Maybe I can get her to do the actual writing for me, too!

I'm still getting the feel of her. It's kind of weird after decades of being someone else. But...considering the amount of hats I wear and screen names I already juggle...what's one more? least part of the name was part of my address for many it won't be that foreign!

For those of you who participated in Truckin' and Dickens, I'm taking those pages down. But watch this space. New pages may be coming. One of these days!

And watch this space ( Carina Press ), too!

The Call, Part 2

Okay, so I totally missed The Call.

But I got the e-mails!

Carina Press, Harlequin's digital first imprint, wants to publish (the tentatively titled) Healing Hearts!

(No one's suggested a title change yet. But that's what it says on their pre-contract form, "tentatively titled," so that's what I'll go with.)

I'm so malleable.

Don't you all agree?

You may now call me Taryn. Kincaid. Taryn Kincaid.

(Trying it out on the "About Me" portion of this blog...just to get a taste of it on my tongue. So to speak.)

Here's Snoopy (And, of course, Woodstock):

My World

Whew. So it has been an interesting few weeks for me. The Good, the Bad, the Ugly.
Mostly good.

A steady paycheck again. Ah, how I've missed that. Books, yes! I can buy you! Shoes, yes! I can buy you too. Weather muy caliente? No problemo, let's crank up the AC. And buy new clothes! And lots of iced Starbucks!

Okay, so my time is no longer my own. It's billable. And I get home late. So late that I am 20 hours behind the rest of the Twitter and Blogosphere. And I'm too tired to change the channel with the remote control. And my paralegal looks like Morticia Adams and scares me a little. Okay, a lot. Enough so that I've taken to emailing her everything in explicit detail so she won't feel the urge to come into my office and ramble on and on about nothing for 45 minutes without once looking me in the eye.

In the midst of all the readjusting, four ceramic tiles mysteriously fell off my bathroom wall. For no apparent reason. Okay, maybe old age. Maybe the heat. Maybe the humidity. Maybe they just decided to give up the ghost. Miraculously, none of them broke.
Carefully preserved them, got some goopy combo tile adhesive/grout stuff and a plastic trowel from Home Depot and decided to do-it-myself. I mean, not exactly rocket science, eh? I can read directions. I have degrees! Yeah-sure-right.
The little plastic trowel was not precisely cooperating with me. Soon I was slathering the stuff on in handfuls. Manicure, ruined. Cuticles white and pasty. Goopy stuff all over the floor and sink. Tiles, sliding like slimy escargot down the wall. Plop. Crash. Smash. Carefully preserved for a week, now all smithereens. This is why plumbers and tilers and contractors command the big bucks, butt cracks notwithstanding. Now we know.

On the fiction front, not much work. Days spent writing motions and Pre-trial Reports tend to leave your brain as mushy as tile adhesive and as fractured as the ceramic tiles that skate down your bathroom wall. And, of course, it's been muy caliente!
Trying to get back to Lara & Cole. Left them in sort of a precarious place while trying to create a new beginning for them. Think it works. At least it works for me! (Trying to take care of some of the later backstory feeds, also to set up their situation, their meet, and to provide an intro to characters who might pop up later. Evil and otherwise.) Characterization is key.

And last, but not least...

Yesterday, I got a Call. A sort of The Call, I think. Voice mail message on the machine. Nothing definite to report. Someone interested in talking about my Regency novella. Someone I'm very interested in talking to in turn!
As the weekend ticks by, I am trying not to do the happy dance prematurely. But it's increasingly hard for me to believe that any busy editor/publisher/agent on this oil-soaked planet would bother to call and leave a message on the answering machine in order to tell you why you should consider taking up tiling as a avocation, stick to reading rather than writing as a career, and never bother him/her with your worthless prose again.

So...Adam and Emma: Here's looking at you, kids!

Root Canal filling

A root canal or endodontic procedure on a tooth is simply the removal of the nerve of the tooth. This is done in cases where the nerve is infected or traumatized.

Although many people have heard horror stories about root canals, 99% of the time it is not a painful procedure.
If the nerve becomes infected, (see toothaches) then the nerve needs to be removed from the tooth. How do we do this? the tooth is numbed using a local anesthetic. Once the tooth is numbed, an opening is made into the nerve chamber using a dental hand piece. After the access is gained, the contents of the nerve chamber are carefully removed using special instruments. The chamber and the roots are them carefully cleaned out using instruments and medications. After the canals are cleaned, they are filled and sealed using a special material. This prevents any bacteria from reinfecting the tooth. After a root canal is performed, it is imperative to have a crown placed on the tooth. The crown protects the tooth and prevents it from fracturing. After the crown is placed, the tooth returns to normal function.

Figure 1 : Infected

As you can see from figure 1, the tooth has become infected. This can be caused by a number of factors including decay, trauma, or large failing restorations. The nerve canal which appears black in the picture signifies the death of the pulpal contents. Not only has the nerve died, but the blood vessels have also died. The nerve chamber and its contents are removed by first gaining access through the top of the tooth.

Figure 2 : Access opening and
cleaning of the canals

Once access is gained to the nerve chamber, the contents are removed using special instruments called "files". These are basically pipe cleaners that remove any debris inside the chamber and canals. The number of canals varies from tooth to tooth. Usually there is one canal per root. Anterior teeth have fewer canals than posterior teeth. It is important that all the canals in a tooth are thoroughly cleaned out. As you can see in figure 2, the file is cleaning the canal to the end of the root.

Figure 3 : Canals cleaned and
ready to be filled

Once the canals have been cleaned with the files, the canals are filled with a special filling material. The purpose of this filling material is to seal the canals and prevent future infections inside the tooth. After the canals have been filled, the tooth is covered by a crown. This protects the now fragile tooth from fracture. It is important that the crown be placed soon after the root canal is finished otherwise once the tooth fractures, saving the tooth becomes near impossible.

Here's how your tooth is saved through treatment:

  1. First, an opening is made through the crown of the tooth.

  1. An opening is made through the crown
    of the tooth into the pulp chamber.

    The pulp is then removed. The root canal (s) is cleaned and shaped to a form that can be filled.

    The pulp is removed, and the root
    canals are cleaned, enlarged and shaped.

    Medications may be put in the pulp chamber and root canal (s) to help get rid of germs and prevent infection. A temporary filling will be placed in the crown opening to protect the tooth between dental visits. Your dentist may leave the tooth open for a few days to drain. You might also be given medicine to help control infection that may have spread beyond the tooth.

    The pulp chamber and root
    canals are filled and sealed.

    The temporary filling is removed and the pulp chamber and root canal (s) are cleaned and filled.
  2. In the final step, a gold or porcelain crown is usually placed over the tooth. If an endodontist performs the treatment, he or she will recommend that you return to your family dentist for this final step.

    The crown of the tooth is then restored.

How long will the restored tooth last?
Your restored tooth could last a lifetime, if you continue to care for your teeth and gums. However, regular checkups are necessary. As long as the root (s) of a treated tooth are nourished by the tissues around it, your tooth will remain healthy.

I'm a huge Android fan and also the founder of the DroidLessons website. I started obsessing about the Android platform as soon as I got my HTC EVO phone in mid-2010. Ever since then, I have been obsessed with learning all that I can about the Android OS and sharing that knowledge with my friends and family.

    Just a heads up.
    – You can also create the folder and open the folder,
    – Press the up key (or apps key)
    – Look for app you want, press and hold icon.
    – It will automatically close the apps drawer and place the icon in the folder.
    – Release the icon.

    This is just a little faster and saves a step.

      Thanks. Is there a way to set up the folder so that after selecting one of the apps the folder itself closes? That way you do not have to click the x to close the folder if that is the default option you prefer.

    I can’t seem to make any new folders on my home screens. Help, please, anyone.

    1. Brad
      Brad September 21, 2012 at 9:33 am .

      never mind. Figured out how to make them now. Simply drag one home screen app icon onto another and the folder will automatically be created with both app icons inside.

Broken Windows and the ‘Slowdown’

A few weeks ago, as New Yorkers (well, tourists) rang in the New Year at Times Square, an unusual thing happened: no one got arrested. Since late December, low-level arrests in the city dropped by over 60%, citations for traffic violations fell by 94%, and summonses have been down by 90%. These extraordinary events were part of a virtual work stoppage or ‘slowdown’ of police activity conducted by the NYPD.

NYE police

Tensions have been growing between New York’s largest police union, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, and Mayor Bill de Blasio, who the union blames for the shooting deaths of two officers on December 20, 2014. This slowdown also comes in the midst of national protests that have adopted the slogan “black lives matter” following the killing of three unarmed black men, Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Ezell Ford, by police officers. In response to the “anti-police” sentiment garnered by protests and comments made by Mayor de Blasio on police brutality, the NYPD stopped issuing fines in New York and claimed they would only make arrests that were “absolutely necessary”.

This of course raises a few questions: What arrests are deemed “necessary”?  Why are they happening in the first place?

Screen Shot 2015-01-16 at 4.10.51 PM

Source: NYT

Low-level summonses were among the arrests that dropped the most, which include “quality of life infractions” such as noise violations, loitering, acts of vandalism and public drinking.

These quality of life infractions are part of a wider police tactic known as “broken windows policing”, wherein low-level offenses, such as vandalism, are considered precursors to larger crimes and are thus heavily punishable by law. It is a controversial tactic, that has been championed by New York Police Commissioner William Bratton, but has little evidence to prove its effectiveness. In reality,  ‘broken windows’ has led to the over-policing and criminalization of low-income communities and communities of color. According to the New York Daily News, 81% of the 7.3 million people summoned for quality of life crimes between 2000 and 2013, were Black and Latino. At its extreme, this police technique can also be attributed to the murders of Eric Garner, Michael Brown and Ezell Ford (among others), all suspected of committing minor infractions.

In Eric Garner’s case, he was initially apprehended for selling untaxed cigarettes.

Source: Ramsey Orta

One recent protest chant “Broken Windows, Broken Lives” speaks to the damaging and long-lasting effects of such tactics on communities that are repeatedly and disproportionately punished for minor infractions, which can send them into cycles of financial debt and incarceration. As Matt Ford suggests,

The human implications of this question are immense. Fewer arrests for minor crimes logically means fewer people behind bars for minor crimes. Poorer would-be defendants benefit the most; three-quarters of those sitting in New York jails are only there because they can’t afford bail. Fewer New Yorkers will also be sent to Rikers Island, where endemic brutality against inmates has led to resignations, arrests, and an imminent federal civil-rights intervention over the past six months.  A brush with the American criminal-justice system can be toxic for someone’s socio-economic and physical health.

For more, check out Molly Crabapple’s informative and heart-breaking video,”How Broken Windows Policing Harms People of Color” below:

The NYPD ‘slowdown’ has paradoxically demonstrated how ineffectual (and “unnecessary”) this kind of heavy handed policing can be, for despite the city-wide work stoppage, crime levels did not surge.

Screen Shot 2015-01-16 at 4.11.14 PM

Source: NYT

It has also brought tensions between communities and the NYPD to the fore. For many residents, the slowdown was a cause of celebration and an opportunity to reflect on what life without a heavy police presence can mean. Here is an extract from a beautiful piece entitled “Life Without Police: A view from the corner” by Eli Hager:

Among young black men in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the New York Police Department’s two-weeks-and-counting “slowdown” in street-level policing isn’t just the news – it’s personal. […] Charles Franklin, a 27-year-old student wearing a Shepard Fairey hat that reads “OBEY,” is […] enjoying the latest trend in policing.

“This is how it’s supposed to be,” he says, referring to the “quiet” he’s been sensing, the “lower volume” of cops he’s been seeing on local corners. “I’m not talking about guys getting away with nothing, I’m talking about feeling safe. The police driving up on us, because of some hearsay, and jumping out, that don’t make us feel safe. The police smelling every drink I drink, looking in my bag every time I come out the store, that don’t make me feel safe.”

“This is how it’s supposed to be,” he reiterates. “We feel safe. And for once, we’re not running late – usually we always be running late because of having been hassled.”

As the NYPD’s slowdown comes to an end, perhaps this exercise will serve as a demonstration of the ineffectiveness of broken windows policing. If nothing else, it has contributed to the nationwide conversation spurred by the “black lives matter” movement, on how we police our communities, and hopefully, it will ultimately lead to the dismantling of a system that targets, criminalizes and kills black and brown lives.

Album of the Day #38: HEADQUARTERS- The Monkees

Title: Headquarters

Artist: The Monkees
Label: Colgems
Year: 1967
Songs: You Told Me*/I'll Spend The Rest Of My Life With You**/Forget That Girl***/Band 6#/You Just May Be The One*/Shades Of Grey##/I Can't Get Her Out Of My Mind**/For Pete's Sake###/Mr. Webster**/Sunny Girlfriend*/Zilch#/No Time^/Early Morning Blues And Greens^^/Randy Scouse Git^^^
Written by: *Michael Nesmith, **Tommy Boyce & Bobby Heart, ***Douglas Farthing Hatelid, #David Jones, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork & Mickey Dolenz, ##Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, ###Peter Tork & Joseph Richards, ^Hank Cicalo, ^^Diane Hilderbrand & Jack Keller and ^^^Mickey Dolenz
Produced by: Douglas Farthing Hatelid
Thoughts: If there is anyone who truly believes that the Monkees themselves were not musicians and "just a whole cash-in", raise your hands so I can throw you a copy of Headquarters. This album truly proves that The Monkees could all work as musicians themselves and didn't need a helping hand from the corporate heads at Colgems. All Mike Nesmith's songs are brilliant, particularly the striking opening, "You Told Me." "Forget That Girl", written by producer Chip Douglas (under his pseudonym, he is also the only session player here, with his strong bass playing) is another charming track here. Mickey Dolenz even gets in the act of songwriting with his rousing, rocking closer, "Randy Scouse Git". What makes this album the best Monkee album, though, is what's not here: a hit single. I don't know who's arm they twisted to let them do this, but I think it's a move that truly helps this album stand out from the other hit-driven Monkee LPs.
Rating: 8/10

Another Angle

Matt Kreuch sent me an excellent e-mail last week about broadband, and he graciously agreed to let me share it with you. It raises some interesting questions about infrastructure in the U.S. and how data caps are affecting how we consume media.

I said last year that a war was looming between service providers and content providers over data caps, but that hasn't happened yet. I don't see any way that it's not coming, though.

From here on, it's all Matt.

I've enjoyed reading your analysis on the used games market and the cryptic release notes on the Xbox One.  I mention these together because this speaks to a much larger trend in gaming and that is the digital delivery of most media today.

First, some back story and why this is relevant to me.  Seven years ago I moved from CT to Northern Virginia (less than an hour from DC).  In selecting a new home, I thought I covered all the questions I needed to research before committing to my area.  The home was 1 year old in a new build community.  Upon moving in I was hit in the face with the one question that did not cross my mind at the time which is broadband availability.  My town in CT has had broadband cable service since the mid-1990's so my wrong assumption when moving to VA was that broadband is like every other utility in a modern home and that I would have choices.  Very bad assumption.  My service today is a local wireless service that I am fortunate enough to have a line of sight to the tower on a hill several miles from my home.  They classify themselves as broadband but it's a VERY loose definition (up to 1.0 Mbps).  The bandwidth fluctuates greatly.  I work from home and often can't VPN in because the service is too slow.  When kids get home from school and on weekends the service slows to a crawl.  It's really horrible.  I tell my kids tales of "true broadband" and they think I'm making stuff up.  They have never experienced broadband connectivity and they play online games daily (they wonder why they always die in online shooters!).  Lastly, the service is expensive at $70 per month.

Over the course of the past year, I've been campaigning to my county representatives to deliver broadband to my area.  Here comes the funny part.... My county, Loudoun County, is regularly reported as the fastest growing county in America with a high median income and tech savvy residents.  I live 18 miles away from one of Verizon's largest offices.  My neighbors are executive for tech firms (Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, etc.) supporting the government and almost everyone I know also works from home.  We are growing so fast that a new high school is built almost every year in our county including a new one on the border of my community.  Further, the county has a 15 year agreement (we are in year 8) in place with Verizon and Comcast to deliver broadband to the "western" portions of our county which they have ignored--quite simply, because they can.  I've read the agreements thoroughly and the broadband providers re-interpret specific language in their favor to escape the density requirements that should govern where they install service.  In October of last year I got really serious about the dire need for broadband in our area and was quickly struck by what a monumental task this is.  It's literally been a 2nd job for me.  I've made tremendous progress including a recent conference call between the county and a group of Verizon execs where they state they will make a decision within the next 30 days, however, I'm not hopeful that anything will ever really get done (I'd bore you to death if I walked through the bureaucratic nightmare I've been navigating to get this far).  The county even issued a study recently where they identified the lack of progress in broadband coverage and called out my community as the prime example.

So why am I telling you all this?  With the primary delivery of media turning to digital delivery, what consideration is being made to the majority of the US that does not have access to true broadband?  I buy most of my games off of Steam now since there is absolutely no selection at the big box stores anymore.  A typical download for me is 3 days for an 8-10GB game.  I usually start it late at night and clog my bandwidth for a 3 day period in which my wife yells at me that she can't get her email.  My kids both play the same games I do and we take turns downloading a new game.  They both play World of Warcraft which was a 21GB download and a miserable week + for all!

The service providers have pretty much stopped installing fiber and cable services.  They are now turning to their branded wireless services such as the Verizon 4G network.  The problem with this model is that these services all require data caps.  For Verizon 4G, 15GB data cap is a $90 per month service.  This is just not acceptable.  Below is a map that shows broadband coverage in the US.  I think this is eye opening in that without cooperation by the broadband service providers to deliver no cap service to the masses, digital delivery is becoming a deal breaker for many of us.  I play games much less today because of it.  I can't enjoy the same experience with online features, constant updates, new add-on releases that other do so I just don't bother anymore.  This applies to movies (Directv & Dish are only options in my area) and other digital media today as well (no Smartv for me).

 I've rambled on enough but I haven't heard this side of the story anywhere.  I don't think we, in the US, are willing to commit enough to our infrastructure to make digital delivery accessible beyond the major metro areas.

Copenhagen summed up

by James Delingpole:

I take it all back. Copenhagen was worth it, after all – if only for the sphincter-bursting rage its supposed failure has caused among our libtard watermelon chums. (That’s watermelon, as in: green on the outside, red on the inside).

The funniest thing is that eco-religionists kept insisting that Copenhagen was the LAST chance, the VERY LAST CHANCE for the world to DO SOMETHING about CLIMATE CHANGE!!!! And it's so true, until next time, that is, and the next time after that, and the next time after that. Climate Change conferences are the Never-ending Story.

Celebrating the explorer

“But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.”

Carl Sagan

It’s the Columbus Day holiday weekend, and while most don’t give the holiday much thought, many simply acknowledge it’s a long weekend that helps transition from summer to fall, and sets up the holiday season for its run through Halloween, Thanksgiving, and into the Christmas/New Year extravaganza.

While the significance of Columbus Day may be somewhat misplaced, there is much history behind the day. Wikipedia explains Columbus Day as follows:

“Many countries in the New World and elsewhere celebrate the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas, which occurred on October 12, 1492, as an official holiday. Columbus Day first became an official state holiday in Colorado in 1906, and became a federal holiday in 1937, though people have celebrated Columbus’ voyage since the colonial period. In 1792, New York City and other US cities celebrated the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World. President Benjamin Harrison called upon the people of the United States to celebrate Columbus Day on the 400th anniversary of the event. During the 400th anniversary in 1892, teachers, preachers, poets, and politicians used Columbus Day rituals to teach ideals of patriotism. These patriotic rituals were framed around themes such as support for war, citizenship boundaries, the importance of loyalty to the nation, and celebrating social progress.”

Aside from the ample history behind Columbus’ recognition, perhaps the greater significance is the spirit of Columbus Day.

Christopher Columbus, after all, was an explorer who saw things differently. He wasn’t afraid to challenge conventional wisdom, to use new science to prove his theory, and expand the European view of the world of the 15th century into a global vision. While others can debate the finer points of who first discovered the New World, natives, Vikings, or Columbus, the significance of his audacity should not be downplayed.

Leave it to a well-known dreamer, Carl Sagan, to encapsulate the successes of risk-taking dreamers.

Columbus, Fulton, and the Wright Brothers are all icons of history because they rose beyond conventional wisdom to prove what they knew in their hearts and their heads to be right. There is a difference between dreamers who have vision based in science and probability, and those who merely dream of the impossible or improbable.

Today’s dreamers who might be remembered in a century or two might include Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, or some other high-tech visionary whose influence will leave an indelible mark for centuries to come.

So while we may honor Columbus this weekend, perhaps the real celebration should be for all the visionary risk takers who were unafraid to sail into uncharted waters. Without their vision and courage, the world might be a much different one indeed.

Interview with Linda Johnston, Editor and Illustrator of Hope Amid Hardship: Pioneer Voices from Kansas Territory

Dan: Good morning, Linda, and welcome to the Extra Gravy Interview Show,  a somewhat irregular feature on Biscuit City, going out to all our readers and listeners on the Biscuit City Network. Welcome to our newly renovated glass-enclosed observation post.

Linda: Thanks! I’m glad to be here. I must say that the observation post is smaller than I expected.

Dan: I’ll admit it is cozy, but serviceable. Anyhow, I first met you at one of our Write by the Rails meetings which were held Monday evenings this summer. You had a manuscript copy of a portion of your book and I think it’s accurate to say everyone there was blown away by it. How did you get the idea for such a book?

Linda: When we lived in Kansas about twenty-five years ago, we lived close to an historic site on the Santa Fe Trail, just outside Kansas City. I was a guide there and one day while waiting on a group, I saw the diary of a pioneer woman on a shelf in the library. She had traveled the trail, and I became interested in similar diaries, particularly women’s stories.

I could identify with moving and leaving everything familiar behind since we had moved so much with my father in the Air Force and then after we married. My story, in a sense, was the same story as the pioneers.
 I continued to research and read pioneer diaries off and on for the next twenty years.  Although I had always wanted to do a book, five years ago I became serious about it and took a writing class at NOVA.  I did research at the Library of Congress and at the Kansas Historical Society when I visited my daughter who was in school at the University of Kansas.

I should say that I also became interested in diaries kept by men. They were exceptionally observant and many wrote very well. Some of their script is beautiful as well.

My book tells my story as well. I am interested in art, nature and in the emotions of moving and going to a new place. They’re all there in the book.

Dan: It’s unusual for a book about pioneers to focus on the positive experiences in their lives. Why did you take that approach?

Linda: I asked myself, what did I want my readers to know about these pioneers? What was life like for them on the frontier? How did they cope with what they encountered? How would I have dealt with similar circumstances?  I went back to Kansas every year and found a few more diaries that intrigued me each time.
These people have become very real to me and an important part of my life and of my story. We’ve traveled together all these years.

The original diaries are time machines—they’re a direct connection to the past. When I hold one of them, I’m touching someone’s life.
I want to tell the readers about one man, Samuel Reader, who kept an illustrated diary from the time he was 14 until he was 80. That covered the span of years from about 1855 until 1915. Imagine having such a record of your life!  I have a photocopy of Samuel’s self-portrait above my computer.

Dan: How do people react to your book, generally?

Linda: People are enthusiastic about it and interested in it. It’s so personal, I want people to like what I’ve done. I’ve been fortunate to be able to sketch and paint. I keep travel journals and I illustrate them, which is what people did before the advent of inexpensive cameras.
So many people are turned off by history, but this is a book for those folks who normally would not pick up a book about history.  It shows a different perspective.   It’s the personal story of real people and their lives. I wanted to make history personal. It’s taking a look “between the ticks on the time line.” Anybody can read about people who made history: I want to write about people who are history.
I want people to understand that these pioneers had the same emotions, struggles and heartaches as we do. The context of their experience and understanding it are everything.

Dan:  Did you find a publisher while you were working on it or did that happen before you started?

Linda: Last October, I was at a Women Writing the West conference in Seattle.  Those attending had the opportunity to sign up and meet with editors and publishers who were presenters at the conference in order to pitch a book.  I did just that.  I met with Erin Turner, from Two Dot Books, an imprint of Globe Pequot Press.  I thought targeting the regional imprint of a larger press would be a good fit for my book.  As it turned out, Erin loves Kansas history and has written two books on Kansas herself.  Also, I had had some experience talking about my project at a few other conferences and that proved helpful.
So, I prepped for my presentation. I had props—a picture of Samuel Reader, a leather covered diary and some of my paintings. I felt at ease with her and we connected. I sent my manuscript to her and touched base at Christmas and New Year’s. In March I got an email that she was interested in my book and needed some additional material, which I sent immediately. She sent a message that she was going to pitch the book to the publishing committee the next day.
She emailed me that afternoon after the committee presentation to tell me that they wanted to publish the book. I was so excited!
They sent a contract, and I hired an attorney to review it. That was costly, but it was worth every cent.

Dan: Please tell us about your trip to Kansas this summer to gather more information. You also did something when you discovered the graves of some of the people mentioned in your book. I thought that was very touching. Please be sure to tell us about that.

Linda: Last spring I received a grant from the Kansas Historical Society to complete my research.  I made a trip to Kansas in August to do that.  While I was there I gathered more information and met some fascinating people.  I also visited the gravesites of several of my writers, including Samuel Reader.  The experience was important and very special.
 We don’t usually hear the words, “pioneers” and “fun” used together. But they, like us, did have good times as well as bad.  That’s why the book is called Hope Amid Hardship.
 One settler, Joseph Savage, went to Kansas in 1854.  He went back to New England the following spring to get his wife and five children. . . He went back to New England, remarried, and returned to his farm in Kansas.  His experience shows the character of many early settlers.
That strength, along with hope for the future, got them through difficult times, including droughts in 1856 and 1860.  During that time, settlers received aid (clothing, money, and other supplies) from eastern states.  This helped them survive as well.
Another woman emigrated there, was homesick, and didn’t want to stay.  Her father-in-law would not allow her to leave, so she stayed. She wrote poetically about the wildflowers and nature, and although she might have been “sad and sorrowful” one day, the next day she went to church and recorded that Kansas had invigorated her and that she had never felt so good, that it was a “fairy land.”

Dan: Please tell us about some interesting people you met in the course of doing this book.

Linda: I got in touch with Bill Griffing, who had posted some of his ancestor’s (James) letters online.  James lived in Manhattan, Kansas Territory.  Another of my diarists, Thomas Wells, lived in Topeka but moved to Manhattan in 1870 and lived next door to James the rest of his life.  The two families became lifelong friends.  I was delighted to learn that two of my favorite writers were dear friends. After all, these are people that I have come to care about.  This illustrates the network of relationships that characterizes a society.

Dan: You have an interesting way of working on the book. Would you describe how that happens?

Linda: I paint for a week and then I write for a week, every day, eight to ten hours a day.

Dan: I might add that the paintings are charming and lovely. What sort of projects do you have planned in the future?

Linda: I might like to do a book on Pike’s Peak.  Many settlers traveled from the Kansas Territory to search for gold there.  I would also like to do a children’s nature book, maybe on nature journaling.  I participate in a writing workshop for fourth and fifth graders each summer and really enjoy that.
As part of my book project, I would like to encourage kids to keep a journal and understand that their everyday lives are a part of history.  I will incorporate this into my website, which is my next big project once I have turned in my final manuscript.

Dan:  Wow! That’s quite a list. Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Linda: I feel very blessed that this project is coming to fruition and involves all the things that I enjoy.

Dan: When does your book come out?

Linda: The launch date is August 13, 2013.  The book will be published by Two Dot Books, an imprint of Globe Pequot Press. I’ve already got the caterer lined up for the release party!

Dan: I want to thank you for being our guest today, for an informative, far-ranging interview. We’re looking forward to seeing your book when it comes out. I’ll put a notice here when it does with some information about how our readers can get a copy. We wish you the best in your work!
 We’ve been talking with Linda Johnston, editor and illustrator of  Hope Amid Hardship: Pioneer Voices from the Kansas Territory. It’s a beautiful book and one that I look forward to reading
This has been the Extra Gravy Interview on the Biscuit City Program, brought to you on the Biscuit City Network. Stay tuned for more interviews at irregular intervals. And so we bid you a fond farewell from the glass-enclosed observation tower.

A2000HD & Indivision ECS with LCD monitor, picture shifts to the right. I have the centering as far left as it will go, and it still is a little shifted to the right. A500+ with GBS 8220 is centered after adjustment, but shifts right without adjustment.
