1st 5 Pages October Workshop- Everett

Name: Sam Everett
Genre: Middle Grade fantasy

Ben Stiglitz died at a hundred and one, a noteworthy age. He was surrounded by the hospital’s head nurse on duty, a janitor fond of the nurse, and a nun who happened to be asking for directions to another patient’s room. There was no real reason for Ben to have died. He wasn’t sick, and he didn’t fall down stairs or eat a microwaveable Salisbury steak too fast. That morning, he simply locked his front door, took a bus to the hospital, and crawled into a bed to doze off. If he’d had family, they would have heard his nurse say he died from having lived so long.

His tiny shrug fairy Mona O’Naughton was there, too, and she heard it, and it made her smile.

She was certainly sad to lose Ben. He was her first human. She had seen him every day of his life, even if he had never once seen her.* But--a hundred and one! Her human! Her first human!
(*This was the way it was with fairies and humans, regrettably.)

She didn’t know another fairy whose human had lived so long, because getting a human to a hundred and one was a lot of work. When Ben was a baby he put everything into his mouth, and so Mona often found herself in his gullet deflecting pennies and marbles like a horsetail brushing away flies. When he grew to walk, Mona held his shoelaces tight so he wouldn’t fall and cry.

When he became an adult, he didn’t need her magic so much. Some years, all she did in an entire day was wake him up in time to go to work. He did like to sleep, after all. When he was awake, he worked as a counter of some sort at a small desk in a big building. It was the only job he ever had, though Mona never quite understood what exactly he did.*
(*This was the way it was with fairies and counting, regrettably.)

Once Ben was an old man, more and more he tried to eat old food. It seemed every two weeks Mona had to use all her magic dust and all her fairy might to tip a bowl of green muck out of his hands and onto the kitchen floor.* A shrug’s job was to make her human happy, and Mona knew humans were happiest when they weren’t deathly ill.
(*Two weeks being beyond the typical shelf life of cottage cheese, of course.)

The last help Mona would ever be for Ben was making the remote control to the hospital room television work. He didn’t understand this one. It was nothing like the model he’d owned for years. Fortunately, shrug fairies received constant training in gadgets because they were the things that made humans happiest and the things humans understood the least. And so Mona burrowed into the remote control through the button marked 8 and sprinkled her dust in all the right places until she heard Ben’s favorite channel crackle on.

And he watched the television and shut his eyes and went to sleep.

With these final words penned, Mona closed Ben’s book, tucked it into her pouch, and flew immediately to her godmother’s office for her next assignment. Sad as she was, fairies never thought to slow down.

Her godmother, Maw Nora, conducted business from a human coffee shop called the Seaside Café. The old building was decorated in oak wood, and its ground coffee made for an earthy aroma. In all of the fairy province called Evergood, the café most closely resembled a fairy’s natural forest habitat. It had the added benefit of housing no cats.*
(*Though humans did not generally believe in fairies, cats did, and took a wicked pleasure in swatting them out of the air.)

Once Mona entered through the keyhole of the café’s front door, the buzz of fairy wings working washed over her. Hundreds of fairy wings belonging to hundreds of fairies up to provincial business, zig-zagging from countertop to tabletop, from pantry to pastry rack, careful not to fly through a waterfall of steamed milk or between the pages of a closing book.

Maw’s office sat under an upturned mug on a high shelf. Mona approached it with all the bubbling energy of a child before the first day of school. Who, she wondered, would her next human be?

When she touched down outside of the mug, she removed her flight goggles, put on her glasses, and combed the wind out of her dark hair with her fingers. At the mug’s reception window, she was greeted by a filing fairy on the other side of the glass.

“What an adorable shrug fairy!” the filing fairy smiled. Fairies had many different jobs, and a shrug fairy was so named because her magical feats--moving a lost book to a table where a human has already looked, vanishing a jelly stain from a poor girl’s church dress--were the sort to make humans rejoice, mutter I-don’t-know-how-that-happened, and give their shoulders a shrug. “I like your skirt,” was the clerk’s compliment.

“You are a lovely filing fairy, and I like your mustache,” Mona said. The filing fairy’s blond handlebar was no more real than Mona’s neat and clean chevron, but every fairy day was some holiday, and this day was Mustache Day. While the filing fairy proudly fingered one end of her smiling whiskers, Mona dug Ben’s book from her pouch to slide it through the window. “May I turn this in and receive my next assignment?”

The filing fairy patted Mona’s hand. “My deepest sorrows for your loss.”

“Thank you. But at least Ben made it to a hundred and one.”

The filing fairy gave a quizzical look. “A hundred and one years in just this one book you say?” Then her warmth returned. “You have small handwriting, no doubt.”

“Don’t we all?”

The filing fairy threw her head back and laughed. “You should be a chuckle fairy, not a shrug fairy! You should go on tour!”

Mona returned a compliment: “You have the most contagious laugh.”

“Did you help yourself to some cake?” the filing fairy asked. “Please do.”

She pointed behind Mona, where a covered tray sat lonely on a table. On a normal day, Mona would not have hesitated to give that cake some company. But this morning her stomach was otherwise filled with butterflies excited to meet her next human, so she declined.

“I’ll get your human’s book directly to Maw,” the filing fairy said, “and you should hear back from us in a couple of days for your review.”

“A couple of days?” Mona had ironed her best skirt and washed her best cardigan believing she would meet with Maw this morning. What would she do for a couple of days? Fairies never took time off, and especially not shrug fairies, whose humans always needed their happiness looked after.

“This was your first assignment, wasn’t it?” the filing fairy said, amused. “A couple of days is normal, yes. Maw is quite busy, as you know.” She did look after all the fairies in the province. Not to mention there was the fairy shortage needing constant attention.

  1. Hi Sam,

    I read this with a smile on my face! The first paragraph drew me in with the voice and the humor. But I liked how those details were also connected to the character. They were important because they revealed Mona's pride in keeping him alive so long.

    I did like the next section describing Mona's tasks over Ben's life but it felt too long. I'd use only as much as you need as a window into how Mona feels.

    Mona is your main character and I want to know more about her. I found myself wondering if she found her job boring. For years she had almost nothing to do. Do fairies get bored? Do they want to do away with their old humans for a new old? Or is it a big deal to keep a human alive so long? Do you get a prize? Is Mona all about the prize and pride?

    In other words, what makes Mona tick?
    What will make this stronger for me is a sense of why Mona wants a new human so much? What is she hoping for? (Who is she hoping for?) Does she have a goal?

    A few smaller notes: I would maybe hold off on calling her a shrug fairy at the beginning. I found it confusing and I think you can wait and explain the different types of fairies when she gets to the Cafe. Also, the story slows down for me at the Cafe. Why the long conversation and then no meeting? It may all fit in with what comes next, but you want to be sure and keep the story moving forward.

    The asterisks are cute and I liked the first couple. After that, I wondered if there were too many because I felt they pulled me from the story. At this point, I'd probably leave them in and then figure out if ultimately you need them. But I'll be curious to know what others think.

    Hope that helps!

  2. Hi Sam,

    Thank you for sharing your work. Your story is so sweet and engaging.

    I agree with Amy about the asterisk footnotes. The ones that worked for me immediately followed the sentence in question. The others caused me to have to go back and re-read. Also, the first section (life of Ben) seems like we're reading a snippet from Mona's journal, so footnotes would make sense. But in the next section, after she closes Ben's book and tucks it into her pouch, it didn't seem the right time for another asterisk.

    I'd like to know if Mona is sad or stressed out that she won't receive a new assignment right away. Does a shrug fairy's happiness rely solely on the happiness of their human, or do they have their own motivations.

    I really enjoyed reading about Mona O'Naughton, and I suspect you're going to take her on a grand adventure. Nice work.

  3. This sounds like an adorable story! I liked that the story started with Ben's death. Because we're almost immediately introduced to Mona. Her introduction doesn't give readers time to assume this would be a more morbid tale. I liked hearing about how Mona was always there for him and the explanation of a shrug fairy.

    Ben lived to be 101, but what is this time to Mona? She seemed happy he lived that long, but how did it feel like it went by too fast? Too long?

    Also the final paragraphs imply that Mona didn't know there would be downtime. I found this a bit surprising because everything leading up to this makes it seem like Mona know everything she had to do regarding fairy life. She comes off as a very "by-the-books" person. I can understand her being impatient and wanting to get started with a new human, but I was thrown off by her seemingly being surprised that she wouldn't see Maw Nora right away.

    I'm in agreement with the asterisks. I liked the tone of them, but it did feel like were were getting too many of them. And some of them lead to more questions for me (like why do cats specifically believe in fairies).

    But this is a good start!

  4. Sam,

    After reading your pages, I said to my family, out loud, "This is the cutest story I've read in a long time!" and then read to them why she was called a shrug fairy. I love the entire idea behind this.

    I do agree with the asterisks. I actually think you could just put each of the lines in, in place of the actual asterisk. But it didn't really throw me at all - it just broke my train of thought to find the asterisk a little.

    I'm interested to know Mona more. I feel like I know more about Ben than I do Mona, and she's the one I'm going to be following for the next however many pages.

    I feel like my remaining comments very closely resemble the other comments, so I won't be redundant. But it's adorable. I'm excited to see next week's!

  5. Hi Sam,

    This is such a lovely concept. I love the voice, the world you’re building, and your main character. I would certainly want to read more to find out what trouble her next human will get her into!

    That said, I did have some issues:

    It seems to me like shrug fairies are guardian angels as well as making people happy. Perhaps the definition of shrug fairy is too narrow? I see these lines—"A shrug’s job was to make her human happy, and Mona knew humans were happiest when they weren’t deathly ill”—and—"Fairies had many different jobs, and a shrug fairy was so named because her magical feats--moving a lost book to a table where a human has already looked, vanishing a jelly stain from a poor girl’s church dress--were the sort to make humans rejoice, mutter I-don’t-know-how-that-happened, and give their shoulders a shrug.” Perhaps if they were together, I would get what Mona’s job was.

    I did not know the fairy was writing in a book until she closed the book. When I reread and noted the fairy talks about herself in the third person, I understood why I didn’t. Are these paragraphs supposed to be entries in a journal? Or her thinking about the entries she’s already made? It’s not clear without some sense of setting context. Where is she writing? At the hospital? In his room? Is she sitting on his bed or some type of fairy desk? The way these first paragraphs read to me now is like a prologue—I’m being told something for future reference. If it was set more in a scene with the above questions answered, I think I would be more grounded in Mona as a fairy with a human assignment.

    I also thought for a moment that Ben was the main character, even though it didn’t make sense in a MG story. Perhaps making this first paragraphs more journal-like would solve these problems for me. And in between entries/paragraphs, you could address the items Amy Fellner Dominy mentions about boredom, goals, etc.

    Once the fairy got to the café, you get into scene so I was better grounded. I knew what she was, where she was, and what her intent was. I agree that it may go on a bit too long (I don’t think you need the part about Mustache Day, for example), but I like the information conveyed. It gives me a wonderful sense of what the world will be like.

    I agree about holding off calling her a shrug fairy until the café and the asterisks. I wanted the explanation right after the entry, not later.
    All in all, a lovely opening.

  6. Hi Sam!

    Thank you for sharing your work with us.

    There's a lot to love here, particularly the voice and the interesting twist on the fairy trope. The dialogue was charming and the world-building is unique and compelling.

    Where I see the most room for improvement is in the introduction to the world and setting the central story question.

    At the opening, we are first introduced to an elderly character who died, which could be odd for middle grade, but the third person voice allows more leeway, so good choice there. It's also good that you get to Mona first, but I found this sentence disorienting:

    "His tiny shrug fairy Mona O’Naughton was there, too,"

    When I hit the word "shrug" I went back to re-read, assuming I'd misread. But I hadn't, and there wasn't an immediate explanation, so I wondered if it might be a typo. As we continue, we learn that Mona is a particular type of fairy and what that that entails, but we need that information sooner in order to avoid a disorienting start to the read. Something that kicks the reader out of the story on the first page can lead to them setting the story aside quite quickly, as they may assume the whole read will be equally confusing. Whatever approach you take, try to lead us in by spoonfuls so that we can follow easily, without stopping to re-read or figure anything out. It would also be good to limit some of the exposition about Ben, as the story starts to seem more about him than Mona, which leads to my next question.

    What is the central story question?

    By the end of this selection, we should have some idea of where we're going. Right now, we know that Mona will get a new assignment, but we don't have very much idea how she feels about it or what her prospects are, so there isn't a lot that keeps us turning pages other than a general interest in Mona's character and world. In order for that to be compelling enough to keep reading, the world would have to be exceptional, with vivid and unique details that trigger all of the senses. It would be better to start to hint at what the central story question is, especially as this is middle grade and so we need to know *how* it fits middle grade, exactly. Give us a trail of breadcrumbs. The best stories introduce a question in the first line, another by the end of the first paragraph, and more throughout the opening scene in order to keep hooking the reader and pulling them into the story.

    Regarding the asterisks, there may be too many, or it may be better to incorporate that pithy voice into the flow of the story. While I can decode them, they might be frustrating to younger readers, and again we don't want to give the reader a single reason to put your story down.

    Best of luck with your revisions! I can't wait to see what you do next!

    Melanie Conklin
    First Five mentor

  7. Love the voice! You've got great humor and a talent for words.
    What got me was the telling. In the beginning, I thought we were hearing a story, but then it changes with the journal. I had similar issues as Melanie with the re-reading, etc.

    My biggest suggestions would be to turn as much into forward action as possible. Let us see her flying and get swatted at by a cat. How does she feel? How dangerous is it for her? Give us some internalization and show more emotion through her reactions. Does she hiss back at the cat or become terrified?

    Let us see the mustache in a description or dialogue tag and then have the shrug fairy internalize. For instance:
    “What an adorable shrug fairy!” When the filing fairy smiled, her mustache tilted to one side.
    The shrug fairy realized today was Mustache Day and was glad she forgot. She hated how the fake ones scratched and tickled.

    One more note, we could use more sensory details.

    When telling is needed, keep it as close as you can to when it's needed to avoid confusion.

    By the end of this first five pages, though, you've accomplished a lot.

    Can't wait to see it next week!

Here & There: Seeing New Ground

June 2 - July 11, 2009

An exhibition for LAND/ART

516 ARTS announces Here & There: Seeing New Ground, our first exhibition for LAND/ART, opening Friday, June 5, 5-8pm. LAND/ART is a large-scale collboration organized by 516 ARTS, exploring land-based and environmental art, involving over 25 organizations during 6 months in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Mountainair. Here & There: Seeing New Ground features contemporary artists examining the landscape from perspectives that are both visual and cultural, including explorations of Native American film, as well as Native and non-Native artists who subvert landscape perspective to examine issues of the environment and human beings’ relationship with nature. Through photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, print, film and installation, these artists offer interpretations of the land and landscape both within and without human interaction. The exhibition is curated by 516 ARTS with experimental film artist Marcella Ernest and Nancy Marie Mithlo, Assistant Professor of Art History and American Indian Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison. The exhibition catalog features an essay by Nancy Marie Mithlo inspired by the film Intrepid Shadows by Alfred Clah (1966), on view throughout the exhibition.

Opening reception: Friday, June 5, 5-8pm

Live music DJ Mitchell Wilcox
The main reception is at 516 ARTS, plus check out the concurrent reception for COLOSSUS, a site project in the Gold Street Lofts, 104 Gold Street SW, Downtown Albuquerque.

Laurie Anderson reception: Wednesday, June, 10, 9:30pm at 516 ARTS + Dome Screening & Discussions with Laurie Anderson : Thursday, June 11, 7pm

Please join us for a reception for Laurie Anderson at 516 ARTS on June 10 immediately following her solo concert at the KiMo Theatre.

Hidden Inside Mountains, about nature, artifice and dreams, is a high definition film that debuted in Japan at WORLD EXPO 2005 on the largest high definition Astrovision screen in the world. Located in a fictitious world of theatrical spaces, this film of short stories unfolds through music, gesture, text passages and the poetry of juxtaposed, evocative visual images. Anderson says, “I was inspired by the present tense and directness of haiku. In this film I tried to use telegraphic language to describe the scale and sensuality of nature.” Laurie Anderson in Albuquerque is presented in partnership with AMP Concerts and UNM ARTS Lab.

COLOSSUS by Karl Hofmann in the Gold Street Lofts, Downtown Albuquerque
June 2 - July 11, open weekends, 12-4pm (closed July 4 & 5), Reception: Friday, June 5, 5-8pm

COLOSSUS is a site project in conjunction with Here & There: Seeing New Ground. A collaborative, site- specific art installation in the Gold Street Lofts in Downtown Albuquerque, COLOSSUS was created by artist Karl Hofmann and the students of Bret Aaker at Amy Biehl High School. The piece is a large-scale interpretation of the mountain Grosser Mythen in the Swiss Alps, a famous subject for Romantic artists and writers for centuries, revisioned out of scrap wood, cardboard and junk mail. The project uses waste-stream materials to explore contemporary and historical ideas of the Sublime as a source of inspiration. A soundscape by students of Blake Minnerly at the Media Arts Collaborative High School accompanies the piece. This project is part of an effort to showcase temporary art installations in empty commercial real estate spaces in Downtown Albuquerque.

by Timothy Horn in Santa Fe
Reception Friday, July 10, 6-8pm open Saturday, July 11, 12-5pm at 1711 Painted Sky Rd., Santa Fe, 87507

Australian artist Timothy Horn’s Medusa is a 9-foot wide chandelier-like structure, made of transparent silicone rubber. Medusa is based on engraved images of jellyfish by 19th-century German zoologist Ernst Haeckel, who created drawings of microscopic lifeforms and marine creatures. Haeckel’s attempts at rendering these ephemeral organisms were flavored by his imagination, at a time when technology didn’t allow for them to be recorded more accurately. Timothy Horn has been intrigued with the invented rules and role of subjectivity in Haeckel’s scientific study of the natural world. Horn’s 800-pound Medusa is temporarily installed in Santa Fe in conjunction with Here & There: Seeing New Ground for LAND/ART, and Horn’s work is also included in the exhibition at 516 ARTS.

PARIS – French far-right leader Marine Le Pen called Friday for a ban on wearing Muslim veils and Jewish yarmulkes in public, adding to religious tensions sparked by cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

In an interview with the Le Monde newspaper, Le Pen called for religious headwear to be banned “in stores, on public transport and on the streets.”

Asked if the ban should apply to the Jewish skullcap, known as the kippah or yarmulke, as well as Muslim headwear, she said: “It is obvious that if the veil is banned, the kippah is banned in public as well.”

Le Pen, who shocked the French elite by winning almost 18 percent in the first round of this year’s presidential vote, also repeated calls for bans on public prayers, kosher and halal foods in schools and foreign government financing of mosques in France.

President Francois Hollande denounced her comments, saying: “Everything that tears people apart, opposes them and divides them is inappropriate and we must apply the rules, the only rules that we know, the rules of the Republic and secularism.”

France was on alert at home and abroad on Friday following the publication of the obscene cartoons of the Prophet by satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday.

A Clue...to Internet Commerce

by Dana Blankenhorn

For the Week of December 8, 1997

Volume I, No. XL

This Week's Clue: Vaudeville

A recent PBS special finally gave me an analogy for all your problems in running a commercial Web site. The special was on vaudeville. The best site managers are running theaters, putting together bills. The best content is a vaudeville act. The audience is always a click away from walking out.

For a Web store or publication (they're becoming one and the same), staying fresh while keeping a dependable niche not only requires you to be on the look-out for fresh talent (or product), it requires keeping an editor's eye on your market - looking out for your reader or customer's interest. Whether you're looking for art, technology, copy, or product, you have to keep finding it, and making sure it's relevant, if you're going to keep people clicking back for more (or if you want to keep newsletter subscribers subscribed).

For vaudeville talent this meant an act (like this) might play 48 cities in 48 weeks, living out of a suitcase and taking a gigantic risk when change had to be faced (or a powerful theater manager had to be faced down). On the Web this is called freelancing. While the travel schedule is lighter (three cities in four weeks, then back home for a few months in my case), the pressure is no less real. A century ago the battle for time lay between doing the act and finding new material. Today it's a battle between reporting and writing (or speaking). In both cases you make money by doing, but you earn tomorrow by learning, and if you don't do both you're small time.

How do you keep the doors open? In both cases the key is the same - know your audience. The theater owner not only knew his town, but the slice of life in his town he was appealing to. A Web site owner must know the same things. They need to know who their readers (or buyers) are, they must keep an eye out for appealing material, and they must deliver. For Web talent, the challenge is to know your material, know how to deliver it, and to keep looking for new ideas.

All this surfing between 1900 and 2000 gives us several Clues to the Web's development, and how to stay ahead of the wave. Don't depend on your audience to surf - do that for them and bring the best ideas you find into your tent. Don't let your own act get stale - keep looking for new material. Don't be afraid of other media (as many old-time performers were) - you don't have to give the whole act away, just a taste and the attitude. Finally, the act (or the site) isn't in what you say, but how you make what you learn your own.

SSP (Shameless Self-Promotion)

It's our fall tour. On Tuesday we're speaking at Comdex Miami and then jetting to Internet World in New York. We'll see you there. I'll be wearing the beard and the gray fedora, as normal, and spending considerable time in the press room writing the next week's issue.

How do I afford such extravagance? Remember that it's Journalism -- checking the news, calling people, listening carefully, writing on deadline -- which keeps the clues coming, although I also handle consulting and commercial writing (ask about those rates via e-mail). Look for coming features in NewMedia and Internet & Electronic Commerce Strategies. If you're looking for excellent work -- like that found in my column at Atlanta Computer Currents or my regular work for Net Marketing magazine don't wait for the e-mail -- give me a call at 404-373-7634.

And now back to our show...

Submit This (Again and Again)

This week we talked to Bill Younker, CEO of Submit-It Inc., about his latest offering, called ClickTrade.

ClickTrade is supposed to let page owners benefit from all links - even editorial links - on their pages. ClickTrade lets page authors decide which links to support. Members can place links with the service and collect revenue from links they support. Links are tracked and recipricol - the system includes a graphic button on each advertiser's site that tracks the links. It goes into public beta tomorrow.

In addition to this, Younker said, Submit-It has launched the first in a series of content newsletters for its customers, with articles by leading lights like Danny Sullivan of Calafia.com. "The sign-up rate has been explosive," he says, but there's no feedback loop yet. The company's also bought PositionAgent, a software agent that monitors search engines. "What we're moving towards is helping people promote their sites not just on search engines but on the Web as a whole," he says.

The big danger here is the potential for fraud. Clicks are not an economic good. Although they may lead to purchases, there's no real money behind them. Worse, they can be faked, as Salon's Andrew Leonard noted in a cover story last week. Such tricks as "circle jerking" and "popping consoles" are now ruining the credibility of X-rated popularity lists. While you may not care if that business gets ruined, what happens when the MLM'ers, fraud promoters, and the rest of the spam community starts using this technology in earnest? (Leonard's story notes that one of the offenders in the "adultbiz" is Croatian - wanna try extradition when he goes after Yahoo?) Putting an economic value on a non-economic good, a good that can be counterfeited, can be asking for trouble.

One-Stop Shopping (For A Price)

What's most interesting about the new "one-stop" electronic commerce solutions from IBM and Hewlett Packard are what's not in them. VisualAge e-business from IBM is a complete software solution, with tools for Java and JavaBeans, a DB/2 database developer and NetObjects Fusion, as well as the Lotus Domino server and Netscape browser. It's aimed at Microsoft BackOffice. What's missing are a salesman and any Clue how to turn all this into a functioning online enterprise. Hewlett-Packard's Changengine can implement your current business logic and workflow in current software, integrated with Netscape's SuiteSpot for the Intranet stuff. EDS is in this deal, too, and they've got extensive experience building Intranets. What's missing, again, is your sales cycle.

What are our Clues here? The more large businesses adapt to Internet standards, the easier they are for you to do business with. What's missing, what you can supply, is a key component - the process of creating satisfied buyers. Software's competitive, but knowledge remains a seller's market.

What I Want For Christmas

As I have for the last few years, I tried the Web for my Christmas shopping. What I didn't find may yield some Clues for you next year.

Frankly, I didn't know what to get. Yahoo was fine when I knew what I was looking for, like animation cels (the Shopfind server bot, however, had problems with the term "cel") but for those on my list for whom I lacked ideas, I couldn't find any help.

Certainly, some personalization in a big Web store might have been helpful. What's your brother-in-law like? How old are his children? What interests him? How much are you willing to spend? Then, will you consider this, this and this? No? Tell me some more about him. This is the kind of stuff that's easy to implement, but I didn't find it - or I didn't know where to go to find it.

These are two different problems. Getting ideas, recommendations for someone else, and figuring out where to go to get such ideas - the Web doesn't offer that yet. So I went to Costco. Maybe next year...

Clued-in, Clueless

Clued-in this week is Infoseek , which appears to have solved (for now) the problem of Web site spamming of search engines. They're aggregating results from each server into a single listing, so you don't get dozens of "hits" from one site whose owner knows how to work the system. It's a good first-step toward getting out of the second-division.

Clueless this week is MSNBC, specifically Barton Crockett , who has once again confused tie-ins with market dominance. The success of QVC and Home Shopping Network in getting their viewers to buy from their Web sites doesn't mean TV (or TV values) will dominate the Web (or Web buying). Also, $3 million/month (his estimate of the QVC Web site's revenue) is a pimple on their totals. Failing to apportion some of the cost of programming to a Web site is another basic mistake, made by publishers and broadcasters alike. It's a mistake, however, that shouldn't be made by someone claiming to be an expert (or even a clued-in columnist). Once again, Barton - the Web is not a mass medium, but a mass of individual media. Wake up and smell the post-industrial age.

Ex Why

Story Sent in by Vivian:

I made it to the restaurant first. When Richard arrived and saw me, he clapped his hands together and laughed. He said, "You look just like Barbara."

"My ex. What're you drinking?"

"Uh... I was going to order a glass of Cabernet."

Richard called the waitress over and said, "Two glasses of Chardonnay." When she left he said, "Barb always drank Chardonnay."

I said, "Well... I'm not Barbara."

He gave me a look like I was nuts. He said, "I know that! Are you... what are you saying? That I can't tell the difference between you and my skanky ex?"

My turn to return that you're-clearly-nuts look. "No! What the hell are you talking about?"

He stood and said, "Fine. Enjoy your night," and left.

The waitress soon returned with two glasses of Chardonnay. I kept one and drank it down. Lord knows I needed it after that.

  1. OP, Barb wouldn't have drank that wine. You should know that.

  2. Seriously Richard, how skanky could Barb have been ordering chardonnay? Besides, OP is nothing like Barb. She doesn't have a drinking problem.

  3. By drinking that Chardonnay you only just prove how right he was that you were in fact his ex.

Guest Post at The Frugal Girls: How to Make a Cranberry Apple Pie

A few days ago I posted a little round up of Thanksgivings-past.

A common theme in those pictures was pie.

(Lots and lots of pie.)

If you were particularly observant you might have noticed one pie that appeared all three years:

In case you're wondering, it's a cranberry-apple pie.  Not only is it delicious, it's also easy enough for the smallest chefs in the house to make.

If you'd like to know how to make your own (or you'd just like to hear the funny way in which it became my Thanksgiving Day staple), head on over to The Frugal Girls where I'll tell you all about it in today's guest post.

Comments let me get to know my readers.

They also make me a do a little happy dance every time I open my email.

Don't you want to be a part of that?

Dr. Zaza Editorial on Essential Qualifications for CDC Directors
Opinion – February 17, 2018

The Hill published an editorial by ACPM President-Elect Dr. Stephanie Zaza on the importance of ensuring those appointed to public health physician leadership positions—like the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—have adequate training and background in public and population health.

ACPM Press Statement on Trump Administration's Budget
Press Release – February 12, 2018

ACPM is deeply concerned that the President's budget once again proposes to eliminate the sole source of federal support for our nation's preventive medicine residency training programs. The budget proposal—which targets funding at the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—would weaken the country's ability to respond to and prevent the very diseases and health problems that burden our health system today.

Next CDC Director Must Possess Public and Population Health Competencies
Letter – February 6, 2018

ACPM wrote a letter to Secretary Alex M. Azar of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services offering perspective on the qualifications necessary for the next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Specifically, ACPM asserts that candidates to this position must be capable of addressing the CDC's main responsibilities of ensuring the nation's health at a population and public health level, which requires competencies that not all physicians possess.

The side effects of acupuncture (although very rare) may be bruising, minor bleeding, feeling light-headed, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and muscle spasm.  They should only last for a short time.  Always hydrate yourself after treatment to minimize these side effects.

 We strongly encourage patient to eat something (even a light granola bar) before receiving acupuncture treatment.  The reason is that without eating anything, patient might faint after the treatment due to significantly lowered blood pressure.
 You should not receive treatment when excessively tired, hungry, shortly after sexual intercourse or drinking alcohol.

Star Wars: Rebel Rising is one of the latest YA branded books in the Star Wars  canon. The novel, written by Beth Revis, follows the exploits of Jyn Erso from the time she is “abandoned” by her family at the beginning of Rogue One to the time when she is picked up on Wobani later in the movie.

The book itself covers several years of Jyn’s life, much of it under the “care” of Saw Gerrera, where she learns the “art” of terrorism (essentially). Her learning focus was on how to fight and blow things up, but mostly her expertise was in document forgeries including access documents for ships. This allows her to get Saw’s people into and out of systems that they otherwise would not be allowed to go. And that is how she goes through her life from one situation to another. She uses these skills to constantly progress herself along and frequently get her into deep trouble.

I feel like I must address the YA issue. This is, I believe, the third major YA book in the new Star Wars canon since Disney took over and they are a weird bunch. All of these three, along with Lost Stars and Ahsoka, are these massive tomes that often top 400 pages. Granted the books are dimensionally a bit smaller than the adult novels from Del Rey, but they are still hefty books. However, not only are the novels long, the topics are often heady. Lost Stars is essentially a Romeo and Juliet story set within the Star Wars universe and Ahsoka follows the former Padawan after the horrifying events of Order 66. Rebel Rising even brings up scenes of torture, mutilation, and like is often the case with these YA novels, implied sex scenes. It goes far enough that I wouldn’t feel comfortable reading this particular novel with my daughter (who is 7 currently). I know these books are meant for older children, but the YA label gives the impression that they should be for the younger crowd.

Rebel Rising follows a trope that is becoming far to frequent in the new canon, which is the telling of people’s lives over the course of the novel. We saw it in TarkinLost StarsCatalystThrawn, Ahsoka (to an extent)Battlefront, and will likely see it in the new Leia and Phasma novels. And frankly, I’m getting rather tired of it. Tell me a nice, self-contained story that plays out over the course of the novel. I like those. These “connecting” stories that only really exist to fill in the blanks between other more important stories become dull and uninteresting over time. Rebel Rising falls into this problem for me. Not only is it long, but I found it rather dull at points and because the book is so large, no matter how long I read, I never felt like I was making any progress in the book. There was always so much more to go.

Upon reading the story there are a couple of things that popped out at me. I actually became rather invested in Jyn — much more so than I originally thought I would. I was constantly wondering if she would do the “good thing” or the “self-preservation thing” and it was frequently a toss-up what really would happen. The last quarter of the novel actually had me rather in suspense of which one she would pick multiple times. Also when she was left by Saw, I thought for sure that he would be coming back in the novel. I mean, he left her so early in the novel. That couldn’t be it. It didn’t feel like the time that was described in the movie and the movie novelization. But I guess that was it.

Overall, the story was alright. A bit dull at times, but I think that is more a result of the format issue than any problems with the writing. How else do you fill in every second of Jyn’s life? She goes from Catalyst, where she is born, directly into Rebel Rising, which leads directly into Rogue One. Pretty much every second of her life is covered, which is rather remarkable figuring she was a completely new character in the Star Wars canon as of late last year. The writing itself was solid and I did find myself engaged by the end of the novel so I can give this a pretty competent rating.

Quik Style Paddle Brush by Sam Goody

February 16, 2013
I was interested in this brush right when it first came out because it claimed to remove excess water "by 30 percent" so that your hair gets dryer faster.  Seeing as how my hair is extremely thick and considering that when I let my hair air dry it is still damp at night, I thought I would try out this brush because I needed all the help I could get!  In between the regular bristles are microfiber bristles which are intended to soak up the water as you brush your hair.

What I LikeAbout This Brush: Since the microfiber bristles go up pretty high, the actual bristles that de-tangle your hair when you brush are partly covered.  This made it way easier to brush through my wet hair.  It didn't hurt as much as in comparison to regular brushes, and when I did have some knots they were easier to get out with this brush.

What I Dislike About This Brush: Do I think using this brush "reduced water by 30% to dry faster" like the product claims it should have?  No, I don't.  I didn't really notice any difference in drying time, and when I think about that it makes sense.  It's not like I'm sitting there brushing my hair over and over.  As soon as a section gets de-tangled after one or two brushes, I move on.  Of course I'm not going to sit there brushing through my hair again and again after all the knots are out when I could be using a hair dryer.

Am I Happy With this Brush? Even though there is no/very minimal drying time difference when using this brush, I am happy with it because of how easy it is to get through my hair.  I recommend it if you have thick hair or hair that gets a lot of tangles.  The bonus for me is that my other brush snapped in half, so it definitely was not a waste of money since I had to buy a new brush regardless.

Do you own this brush?  What do you think of it?

  1. Too bad the drying part didn't work out. I would have totally bought it! I hate drying my hair. It takes so long!

  2. is it pink or silver

    1. It is silver/grayish. My camera broke, so I was stuck using a bad camera for awhile until I could get a replacement.

A tree house in the wilderness - Bee's Bower, Herefordshire

So remember I recently shared our glamping getaway in Mimi's tree yurt in Herefordshire? well after Mimi's Yurt we spent the second half of our glamping adventure in another incredible dwelling on the same site, which we also booked through The Cottage Co. But this place was like no other I'd ever experienced before - part tree-house, part-cabin, part canvas tent, Bee's Bower is an extraordinary place in every way. Perched at the top of corpse it stands alone, completely private overlooking the beautiful valley which surrounds it. The tranquil location and the incredible craftsmanship which has gone into this building really does make this a special place. Here is a glimpse into our getaway at Bee's Bower.

Sleeps: 2
Where is it: Herefordshire
How much: From £289 for 2 nights
Pets: Up to 2 well behaved dogs welcome
Note: Suitable for babes-in-arms but not suitable for toddlers.
I also wouldn't recommend to those who have difficulty walking.

The arrival

After parking our car in the small car park at the top of the site, we filled our wheelbarrow and followed the sign down to Bee's Bower. The great thing about this site is that all the accommodations are completely separate from each other.

 This means it is a good 5 minute walk from the car to Bee's Bower, and the walk takes you through a beautiful meadow with spectacular views. It's downhill on the way there so it can be tiring on the way back up depending on your fitness levels - which is why I wouldn't recommend this place to those who have difficulty walking.

As you approach Bee's Bower through the meadow path you start to see the canvas roof emerge through the flowers. To the left of the house there is a lovely fire pit and BBQ area.

On arrival Ralphy took it upon himself to inspect the property and check everything was ship shape  before we entered :-)

Inside Bee's Bower

The inside of Bee's Bower is simply a work of art. Just like Mimi's yurt, owners Tim and Bryony were keen to create indoor / outdoor living that exists in harmony with nature, and craftsman Zane Dutton-Thompson saw the creation of Bee's Bower through from start to finish. At the centre of the house is a huge tree stump that supports the hand-carved spiral staircase that leads up to a beautiful bedroom (and if I'm ever lucky enough to build my own house, I'm going to shamelessly steal the tree-in-the-middle-of-the-house idea because it's just so lovely!) Two hand-stitched woven armchairs sit facing a cosy wood burner and the open-plan kitchen, and dining table for two is tucked away in the far left.

My next favourite installation was the gorgeous beaten copper bath that sits in the corner. After a long day of walking it was the perfect spot for a soak whilst reading & sipping hot-choccy whilst looking out into the surrounding countryside.

Almost everything in Bee's Bower is handmade, including the bath taps which are fashioned from pipes and fixed to an incredible piece of driftwood which looks remarkable like Emu from 'The Pink Windmill' don't ya think? (for those that don't know that's a much lovely kids TV programme from the 80's.)

The large canvas door keeps the house snug and warm when it's chilly, but when when the sun is out you can roll it up and let the summer scent and breeze in. I absolutely loved sitting on this balcony with my morning coffee ... it's just a lovely spot where time seems to stand still. It's also a great spot for star gazing and scrabble re-matches too! And if that doesn't sound perfect enough the balcony also has a hammock ... which Ralphy and I took to napping in after our walkies.

A bedroom with a view

Up the spiral staircase you'll find the bedroom, and an impressive bedroom it is too. The bed is super comfy, with it's super soft bamboo linen. And just above the bed is a window that opens with a winch, and looks out onto the fire pit area.

There are some lovely touches in the bedroom, like a basket of hot water bottles and the lovely handmade wardrobe and shelf. The balcony that looks over the lounge below is another beautifully designed piece of work, with beaten copper leaves dotted along the wood branches. It was deliberately designed to allow you to see the view of the valley opposite. This however is why this incredible house is not suitable for toddlers due to the lack of safety railings ... I also wouldn't recommend you allow your dogs upstairs.

Kitchen & bathroom

The kitchen sits in the corner of the house, and with it's roll up canvas window, and stained glass window there is plenty of light. It is well equipped with everything you'll need. Like the rest of the house, every single piece of wood, piece of shelving, and every handle has been hand-carved. Many of the large beams are kept secure with thick ropes and wooden pegs, and many of the lights and lamps in the house are also handmade ....

The bathroom has a large shower cubicle with hot water, a lovely sink unit (with handcrafted taps) and a compost toilet. Compost toilets can take some getting used too, but these ones are absolutely fine. You do get the occasional fly hanging around but if you're a nature lover and you love the outdoors you'll take these things with a pinch of salt. Plus the owners are always on hand if you have any problems. However I will say, if you're looking for a super chic 5 star hotel experience this place is not for you. This is a rustic getaway adventure, and the price you pay for being so close to nature means you will come across creepy crawlies from time to time - as hubby discovered when he left the window open when settling down to read his book by the nightlight ... he's not too keen on moths either :-)

Out and about

There are plenty of walks on the doorstep and Offa's Dyke Path and the Brecon Beacons are just 2 miles away. There are also some lovely towns and villages nearby so you won't be stuck for things to do, and there are plenty of leaflets and recommendations in the house. I highly recommend a meal in The Carpenters Arms which is also in walking distance. The food is delicious the pub is incredible quirky and the locals are warm and friendly. We had such an incredible time at Bee's Bower and I was so sad to leave. Tim and Bryony are such a lovely couple and the haven they have created here is well worth a visit.

  1. Absolutely stunning - didn't know getaway places like that exist! The canvas plonked on top of a wooden house is sort of weird. I love the painted basin and the little sort of port hole window (?) - that seems very Norwegian. I'm still in the process of turning my 1930s terrace into a country cottage type place (I knicked the paint colour you used in your room from one of your older posts, which is now in our hallway and lounge)and this post is giving me more ideas. The tree staircase in the middle of the room must be gobsmacking when you're actually in the place, but probably a bit on the dangerous side for families, as you rightly point out. We stayed in an airbnb house in Harlech, Wales in August - the view was stunning and right on the doorstep, just like your view was there - nobody wanted to go back to rubbishy, normal life.

    1. Yes that's the problem Susan, a regular house seems pretty boring are experiencing something like this! :-) Oh lovely to hear your transforming your own house ... I'm itching to move to our next place so I can put down some roots and create a little haven :-)

Freedom of expression inspired by light

The use of lasers for jewellery manufacture and repair is fast becoming a matter of routine rather than the exception, as forward thinking designers and jewellers continue to take advantage of the many benefits that the technology brings to the industry.

However, away from the mainstream use of lasers for precious metal jewellery manufacture, artist David Poston continues to draw inspiration from the technology, breaking new ground in the way in which he uses his Rofin StarWeld laser to produce a diverse collection of stunning rings, bracelets and necklaces.

David’s work is primarily based upon the use of stainless steel and titanium, metals normally associated with the aerospace industry, with only small amounts of precious metals used as embellishment on the finished piece. David’s choice of materials reflects a desire to provide not only a visually attractive piece, but also a tactile experience, with a wide range of different metals, fabrics, and glass beads used in the production of an item.

The intricate and delicate nature of many of David’s designs reflects his depth of knowledge and expertise in the use of the laser for welding and joining. The seemingly limitless capabilities of the laser in David’s hands, provides the inspiration for ever more elaborate and technically challenging designs.

This partnership of craftsmanship and technology is clearly demonstrated in the Stainless Steel Circle Bracelet (Fig.1) where a combination of 1.0mm, 0.5mm and extremely fine 0.24mm diameter stainless steel wires are expertly joined to produce this elaborate design.

David’s wish to incorporate a tactile aspect to his work is evident in his Titanium “Donut” ring (Fig. 2). The unusual finish on this piece has been created by making hundreds of individual spot welds using the laser. The result is a colourful and textured finish that reflects some of the key objectives of David’s design philosophy and concept for this ring.

The results of a collaboration with Edinburgh’s Dovecot Studio’s can be seen in a stainless steel and woven tapestry (Fig.3), produced from a series of 0.5mm stainless steel wires, which are laser welded to create a complex 3 dimensional shape. The item is finished with a green woven fabric covering, by weaver Jonathan Cleaver, who was responsible for the design and completion of the textile contribution to the piece.

It is in areas such as this that the laser really comes into its own. In the course of completing the woven covering, one of the weld points became detached. With conventional joining processes this would have required considerable re-work to remove the weave and allow re-welding, however with the laser the repair was made by just pushing the material slightly to one side to expose the weld position and the joint was re-made with no damage to the delicate material around the weld area.

The fine and focused precision of the laser is further demonstrated in the range of painted tin bracelets produced by David. Manufactured from everyday and often iconic brand packaging (Fig.4), these 3 dimensional metal pieces have the appearance of being solid, yet they are produced by seam welding the thin edges of the material using the laser. Even on close inspection there is no scorching or discolouration on the painted surfaces either side of the 1.0mm wide welded seam.

For David, as an artist-jeweller, freedom of expression is essential. The inherent flexibility of the laser, combined with his craftsmanship and skill in manipulating both the metal and laser parameters, has allowed David to turn many of his artistic concepts into reality.
