The OC Book Festival and Ehriad is Finally Here!

Hello everyone,

I just thought I'd put up this quick post to remind you that the Orange County Children’s Book Festival is this Sunday, September 30th (here is the link with all the info:  Be sure to come on by if you happen to be in the area.  This is my first year going to the festival, so I’m eager to check out all the booths and to see all the other authors (and hopefully meet some new readers, too!).  I plan on taking lots of pictures and writing up a post to tell you all how it went, but if you can make it, be sure to come on by and say hello.

Also, I want to let everyone know that Ehríad is now available from, and for $.99!  If you enjoyed Faelorehn and Dolmarehn, be sure to check out this newest addition to the Otherworld Trilogy. The novella is really three scenes from Faelorehn told from Cade’s point of view.  The whole story ended up being a little over 26,000 words, so not as long as Faelorehn or Dolmarehn, but hopefully it will help fill the time until Luathara is released.  Below is the blurb I included with the ebooks.  Until next time, happy reading!

-J.E. Johnson

From the author of the Otherworld Trilogy . . . Three scenes from Faelorehn, told from Cade’s point of view.

A Single Thread of Magic

Cade MacRoich is Ehríad, a faelah bounty hunter.  When he is compelled to deal with a collection of particularly nasty monsters in the mortal world, he stumbles upon a stream of Faelorehn magic that leads him to something astonishing.

The Morrigan’s Game

The children of the Weald are protected by the forest’s ancient magic, but when the Morrigan’s faelah manage to break through that barrier, Cade’s sister calls upon him for help.

Broken Geis

Cade has tried in vain to forget about the alluring Meghan Elam.  Unfortunately, the Morrigan’s interest in the young Faelorehn girl puts her in danger and makes Cade realize he is willing to risk everything to keep her safe.

Another Look at Ehriad!

Hello readers!
     Well, I don't have a solid post for this week and I don't know what the future looks like for blog posts (at least until I'm done with Luathara), so I've been feeling a wee bit guilty.  In order to make up for it, I thought it would be fun to post another snippet from Ehriad.  This is the scene where Cade first sees Meghan outside of her high school.  Hope you enjoy and now back to writing/editing!
-J.E. Johnson
* * *
I reached the outskirts of the high school within fifteen minutes of leaving behind the swamp.  As I caught my breath, I studied the students pulling into the parking lot and reluctantly spilling out of their cars.  I wrinkled my nose at the barrage of smells and sounds that attacked my senses.  Several dozen perfumes and colognes clouded the air, along with the high-pitched laughter and false promises being thrown from one person to the other.  Combine that all together with the general angst and unavoidable desperation that permeated the atmosphere and it was enough to give one a headache.  I was very glad I never had to attend high school.  I would not have survived it.

Fergus and I had been in this area only a week or so ago, checking into a possible faelah problem.  I’d been wearing my old trench coat and had used my glamour to adopt the guise of an old homeless man.  Most people left me alone when I took up that particular costume, so I wore the same cloak of glamour now: one of a decrepit, retired veteran down on his luck, lingering in the woods for no apparent reason.

A few more minutes ticked by before I caught a glimpse of that brilliant blue magic again.  It trickled out of an old gold minivan.  I felt my muscles tense as the van pulled up and parked.  The door rolled open and the girl, Meghan, stepped out with her friend.  I took a small moment to wonder why I hadn’t detected her strange magic here last week, but then brushed that thought aside once she started moving across the parking lot.

I focused my attention on the group of teenagers, especially on the girl I had discovered earlier that morning.  They were a good distance away, so I sacrificed a fraction of my glamour, pulling it away from my disguise and using it to enhance my vision just enough to get a clear picture of my quarry.  The girl turned and looked in my direction.  My relaxed pose stiffened.  Pretty little thing, but not in a typically human way.  In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if her peers thought her to be strange-looking.  Humans were often a bad judge of real beauty, in my experience.

I continued to study her, grateful my hood covered most of my face.  She was tall with dark, curling brown hair and high cheek bones, but it was her striking eyes that gave me pause.  Hazel, flashing to gray, then green and blue, and back to hazel.  My heart sped up and I felt my own well of power begin to burn, like a coal coaxed to life by a bellows.  Not just a human tainted by glamour.  Oh no, this girl was Faelorehn.  Suddenly I felt winded, as if someone had punched me in the stomach.

There were plenty of Faelorehn and half-Faelorehn people living in the mortal world.  Some chose to live here, some merely liked to visit.  But there was something different about her; something I couldn’t place.  Most Faelorehn wore their glamour like a mantle, hiding their true identity in the mortal world.  But this girl . . .  Hers was locked away and almost impossible to see, like something lurking beneath a sheet of dark water.  Yet the magic that trickled off of her was as visible as the stars in a moonless night sky.

The girl and her companions glanced away, and I took the opportunity to slip behind the trees.  I would look into who this girl was, this Faelorehn with hidden glamour.  And while I was at it, I’d try and forget those eyes and her alluring face, too.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this little exerpt!

Sneak Peek at Ehriad!

Hello everyone!
     I've been getting a lot of emails and questions about the release date for Luathara (Book Three of the Otherworld) lately, and all I can say is that I'm going to do my best to get it out by November 1st.  I can't make any solid promises, however, because I have a lot going on during the next few months (the Orange County Book Festival at the end of the month, getting back into the rhythm of the new school year etc.).  But I would just like to let you know that I greatly appreciate all your messages and comments and that they do encourage me to keep on writing (even when my Muse demands a vacation ;)).  I can't thank you all enough for your wonderful support and enthusiasm for this series.
     I have also been working on Ehriad, my novella that will be a handful of scenes from Faelorehn, told from Cade's point of view.  I'm almost done with that book and I hope to have it out some time this month.  As of this moment, it is a little over 16,000 words, but may end up being more or less after editing.  I have no set date on its release, however, I am happy to give you guys a small excerpt to help tide you over until it's complete.  Again, thank you for all your emails and wonderful comments and I hope you enjoy this little preview!  (WARNING: There may be a few typos . . .)
From Ehriad, a Novella of the Otherworld . . .
The sharp snap of a twig and a low, almost imperceptible growl informed me that the creature I hunted was now only a few yards away.  I assumed his growl of frustration was aimed towards the branch he’d broken, giving away his presence, and not by any means meant to intimidate me.  No matter, I had planned it this way.  I had known he’d been following me for a good fifteen minutes now.  It helped when you had another pair of eyes, and a good nose, to help you along.

How close? I sent to my spirit guide.

Ten feet, to the right, Fergus answered.

His mind was sharp, focused on the hunt.  Even better.
I let my body ease out of the tense stance it had taken at hearing the sound of the snapped twig.  One more minute Fergus.  I’d let the creature stalk me for sixty seconds more.

The thing about faelah is despite their vicious, blood-thirsty tendencies, they weren’t very smart.  I was only a few feet from the dolmarehn now, boxed in on most sides by the steep walls of the culvert, and the faelah was somewhere above me, close to the edge but remaining out of sight.

What exactly are we dealing with? I asked my spirit guide.

About my size, dark, no hair.  Small eyes, big teeth, sharp, thin claws and a tail like a rat.

I nodded to myself.  This particular monster resembled most other faelah: the grotesque, zombie-like imitations of an animals created from the long-dead body parts of many others.  If the people of the mortal world could see it, they would be cursed with a lifetime of nightmares to disrupt their sleep.

Fortunately for them, the faelah’s glamour kept it invisible from sight.  No, only my people, the Faelorehn, could see the faelah.  At least until they were destroyed and a small window between the time their glamour faded from their bodies and their flesh turned to ash did the mere mortals get a chance to catch a glimpse.  This was one of the main reasons I lured as many as I could back into the Otherworld, or at least deep enough into the woods to kill them where they wouldn’t be seen by anyone.

The crunch of dead leaves met my ears again, along with Fergus’s words: Get ready.

I slipped my hand into my boot, pulling out a long knife, pressing the dull side against my forearm so that I could stab if necessary.

In the next breath, the faelah leapt from the edge of the ravine and used the trunks of dead trees crisscrossing my path like ladder rungs to make its way down.  The faelah came to rest only fifteen feet in front of me, a monster looking very much like a partially decomposed mountain lion.  It growled at me, showing several long teeth, and twitched its reedy tail.  Just as I had suspected, this one wasn’t going to let me lead it back into the Otherworld.  Looks like it would have to be a kill.  Not that I regretted it much.  Most of the faelah had been other animals at one time, animals that had been transformed by the Morrigan.  I bared my teeth in a grimace, hoping to intimidate the monster.

A flash of white caught the corner of my eye and a giant wolfhound joined us, using the same method the faelah had to reach the gully floor.  He landed behind the creature, bearing his teeth and laying his rusty ears flat against his skull.

Kill? he sent me.

Yes, this one will have to be a kill.

The beast howled and snapped its jaws before hunkering down on its hindquarters.

Here goes . . .

With preternatural speed the faelah leapt, mouth gaping open, massive paws tipped with needle-thin claws outstretched.  I froze for a fraction of a second, then with one swift movement, jerked my hand diagonally across my body, swiping the sharp edge of my blade against leathery skin.

The yowl in the monster’s throat died and I quickly sidestepped, letting the body hurtle past me.  It landed in a tangled heap in the dirt, the head nearly severed from the rest of the body.  Its limbs twitched a few times as black, putrid blood spilled from the open wound.  I wrinkled my nose at the smell, but didn’t gag.  I was used to the stench.

As I cleaned my blade I felt the faelah’s glamour swell like a bubble, growing larger and larger until it burst.  There was nothing to see really, but my own well of magic felt it all the same.  If there had been mortals around, they would now be gaping, dumbfounded at the atrocity lying at their feet.  I didn’t even stay to make sure it turned to dust.

“Come on Fergus, time to go,” I said to the wolfhound.

Wounds? he sent me.

No, not even a scratch.  I was, after all, very good at my job.

Author Spotlight: Interview with C.E. Martin

1. Quickly, give us the title and genre of your book and a 30-word or less tagline:
"MYTHICAL: Heart of Stone" available for $.99 on Kindle, Nook and Smashwords.
When a super soldier comes back from the dead with no memory of who killed him, he sets out to complete his last mission.
2. Who is your intended audience and why should they read your book?
Originally, I planned this for ages 16 and up. I have since been admonished that it's a wee bit graphic on the violence side for that.
Anyone who likes pulps or big adventure should read "Mythical". I patterned it after the classic Doc Savage and Tarzan pulps but then amped it up with a bunch of paranormal and supernatural violence. It's about as over the top as you can get.
3. How did you come up with the title of your book or series?
I wanted a nice simple, one-word title for the book, then ended up making that the Series name- "Mythical". There are two books up right now ("Heart of Stone" and "Brothers in Stone") and I'm trying to finish the third novel in time for October 1st. Then it's on to Books 4 & 5.
I think "Mythical" perfectly sums up the novels- they take place in a modern world where ESP and Magic are known by the general populace but not very common. Governments use the paranormal the same as other weapons, but out of the public eye. The heroes of the stories are soldiers protecting the U.S. from the magical and the mythical.
4. Tell us a little bit about your cover art. Who designed it? Why did you go with that particular image/artwork?
I designed the cover with some healthy critiquing from my cousin who has a graphic arts background.
Each cover in the first three books is linked- storm clouds, tinted Red, White and in book 3, Blue. The clouds are symbolic of the looming threat of the monsters in each novel. Each novel then has a unique symbol as well: For Book 1, "Heart of Stone" I chose an ororborous dragon eating it's own tail, held by a stone hand; symbolizing the shape shifting villain (who can turn into a dragon) and the living stone soldiers that fight it.
5. Who is your favorite character from your book and why?
That's a tough call... I really like the old super soldier who's cursed and can never age or die. He's a relic of the 20th Century, left over and fighting to fit in as the world changes around him. But then there's the character of Josie Winters, a seemingly-typical teenage girl who overcomes her fears and wants to do what's right. I really like Josie, but that may be because I have two daughters as well. I purposely created the character of Josie so that the super soldier who can't have kids ends up in a father-daughter relationship (in future novels) that he has no idea how to deal with.
6. How about your least favorite character?  What makes them less appealing to you?
Femagick, a female sorceress who used to be a costumed vigilante but now moonlights for the FBI when she's not headlining in Vegas. I purposely wrote her to be a vile, vain, horrible person, but she makes such a brief appearance I think it's lost on the reader. I put a lot of thought into her then just didn't get to develop her better.
7. If you could change ONE thing about your novel, what would it be?  Why?
I'd have put more action in the beginning, instead of starting with a mystery that slowly builds to an action-packed climax. When I wrote this I wasn't sure that I was going to turn it into a series. Had I been positive of that, I'd have made the book have more action, sooner, to better fit in with the sequels.
8. Give us an interesting fun fact or a few about your book or series:
The old super soldier, Mark Kenslir, was born in 1928 and possessed a natural immunity to magic and psionics. But then he got himself cursed and is now frozen in the same form he was in 1962. He can't age, he's stuck with the same goofy haircut, and he keeps coming back from the dead. He's buried a lot of his friends and fellow soldiers and may just be getting tired of all the fighting.
9. What other books are similar to your own?  What makes them alike?
Warren Murphy's "The Destroyer" series is probably the closest, content-wise. Remo Williams is a super assassin who protects the world from all sorts of crazy, supernatural beings and mad scientists. With his super-martial art, Sinanju, there's plenty of violence and gruesome demises.
10. Do you have any unique talents or hobbies?
My kids are most impressed by my ability to belch at will- my wife, not so much. As for hobbies, I tend to watch a lot of B Movies and play Xbox with my friends and kids.
11. How can we contact you or find out more about your books?
There's a sporadically-updated blog for the series at, or you can follow my occasional snide remarks on twitter @troglodad
12. What can we expect from you in the future?
I'm set to do 5 Mythical books then will wait to see if the series gains any popularity. If not, I have a horror-comedy novel I'd like to finish about a mailman who finds out he's a werewolf- the same night zombies invade his subdivision.
13. What can readers who enjoy your book do to help make it successful?
Read it, and spread the pulpy goodness. Writing is easy- I could crank one of these out every month. But marketing is rough. There's so much good, indie stuff out there to be read, and a lot of us are lost in the endless selections. "Mythical" isn't for everyone, but fans of pulp and big adventure should like it- if only they could find it.
14. Do you have any tips for readers or advice for other writers trying to get published?
Like Yoda said, "don't try- do." Self-publishing is easy. Writing is easy. The only hard part is marketing and a lot of that is luck anyways. I'd rather finish some novels and say I tried then sit back and say I didn't try simply because I didn't think I could find readers.
15. Is there anything else you’d like to say?
"It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye." I like to tell my kids that. And if you read Book 2 & 3, you'll see how often that phrase pops up in my subconscious.
16. And now, before you go, how about a snippet from your book that is meant to intrigue and tantalize us:
It was the giant’s turn to attack. Despite the incredible pain in his kidney, he struck out, right hand held flat, knifelike. His six fingers struck Kenslir’s chest with blinding speed, tearing through fabric and flesh just under Kenslir’s sternum.
Kenslir grunted from the impact. He looked down at his chest and saw the giant’s arm in his torso, almost to the elbow.
The giant grinned. He had learned long ago to form his heart on the left side of his chest, to avoid the spears, swords, knives and other weapons that had so often been employed against him in this form. But the black haired man with the strange green-black eyes had normal human anatomy. His heart was exactly where it should be.
The giant wrapped his six fingers around the heart and jerked it out of Kenslir’s chest.
The giant stepped back, then raised the heart to his chest, opening his mouth. He wondered if he was actually salivating at the thought of all the power the heart held. He was just about to put it into his mouth when he noticed it had changed color. And gotten heavier.
The giant looked closer. The heart had turned gray. Blood no longer dripped out of it. The giant squeezed the heart. It had turned to unyielding stone.
“I’m going to be needing that back,” Colonel Kenslir said.
The giant looked up, more surprised that Kenslir was still alive than by the petrified heart in his hand. But there Kenslir was, with a gaping hole in his chest that wasn’t even bleeding. And with a large pistol in his hand, aimed right at the giant’s face.

Author Spotlight: Interview with Keith A. Ferstl

1. Quickly, give us the title and genre of your book and a 30-word or less tagline:

Madman Dreams Book One: Reanimated. YA Science Fiction.

Thanks to the murderous act of a madman, Jonathan Chaulk discovers that his one chance to save McKenna Dupree, the girl of his dreams, will come only after her death.

2. Who is your intended audience and why should they read your book?

Readers who enjoy fast-paced, character-driven science fiction with lots of unexpected twists and turns will find a book written just for them. Those who seek a thought-provoking, exciting page-turner should give Madman Dreams a read.

3. How did you come up with the title of your book or series?

On the surface, the ideas explored in the series, are exciting and reasonable, but when they are filtered through the minds of madmen, they become distorted dreams. The title Madman Dreams is a result of tinkering with those themes, and finding a concise way of distilling them into the title. And it doesn’t hurt that during this decision-making process, my wife was a willing sounding board, too.

4. Tell us a little bit about your cover art. Who designed it? Why did you go with that particular image/artwork?

Since the phoenix theme plays a predominant role in the story and throughout the series, I wanted it on the cover. Graphic designer Asfar Shah designed the cover. The colors, flames, and soaring phoenix captured the tone of the story.

5. Who is your favorite character from your book and why?

Picking a favorite character presents the same difficulty as choosing your favorite child. You love them all, and it’s difficult to pick one over the others. If someone put a gun to my head—and McKenna just might—I’d say she has a slight lead over Jonathan. As a strong female character, I like her intelligence, her inner strength, and I admire her spunk.

6. How about your least favorite character?  What makes them less appealing to you?

Although Dr. Sandor Serpa has villainous characteristics, and doesn’t hesitate to do whatever it takes to reach his ultimate goal, he’s operating from the position of doing what must be done for the greater good—at least in his mind. I find myself disliking Trace Connors even more. He wields his power with vicious, selfish intent.

7. If you could change ONE thing about your novel, what would it be?  Why?

I regret taking so long writing it. I started working on it several years ago, but it took me a while to commit wholeheartedly to the project. Had I made the commitment earlier, I would’ve been on the path toward doing what I love that much sooner.

8. Give us an interesting fun fact or a few about your book or series:

The wind sled that appears on the first page was inspired by wind sleds that operate between Bayfield and Madeline Island on Lake Superior. The nanobots described in Madman would likely be the size of about one micron. For comparison, a human hair is about one hundred microns wide; a red blood cell is about eight microns in diameter and three microns thick.

9. What other books are similar to your own?  What makes them alike?

The use of nanobots, although implemented for different reasons and effects, makes BZRK by Michael Grant similar and alike. Cryogenics also plays a significant role in both Madman and Across the Universe by Beth Revis.

10. Do you have any unique talents or hobbies?

I enjoy swimming and riding my recumbent bike on nearby paved trails…until I have to go uphill, then I’m not such a big fan.

11. How can we contact you or find out more about your books?

To contact me or find out more about my books you can email:, visit my blog:, or website: I’m also on Facebook (, or Twitter, @KeithFerstl.

12. What can we expect from you in the future?

Madman Dreams Book One and Book Two are already available in e-book format at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I’m working steadily on Book Three with high hopes for a September 2012 launch.

13. What can readers who enjoy your book do to help make it successful?

Despite all the different marketing channels available, at the end of the day, the key to success is word of mouth. If readers enjoy the book, please let others know!

14. Do you have any tips for readers or advice for other writers trying to get published?

There’s an old axiom: Writers write. It still holds true today. I would add: Readers read. So many books, so little time!

15. Is there anything else you’d like to say?

Thank you for taking the time to read this interview. And thank you in advance for reading my books. It means the world to me. Please feel free to contact me. I’d love to hear from readers!

16. And now, before you go, how about a snippet from your book that is meant to intrigue and tantalize us:

Excerpt: Madman Dreams Book One: Reanimated by Keith A. Ferstl

The arctic air that churned down across the Canadian border bit into Jonathan’s face. The cold wind exhilarated him. McKenna, snuggled in the cockpit beside him, shouted with excitement as the Raven flew across the ice.

They’d been crisscrossing the lake for almost two hours when they spotted what appeared to be a naked man stumbling toward them.

Jonathan jerked his head up and yelled a warning, but the man didn’t hear or chose to ignore him. He swiftly steered the iceboat into the wind. The sail flapped like a sheet on a clothesline as the boat skidded to a stop. They scrambled to the crumpled figure and watched helplessly as he collapsed and curled into a fetal position.

Jonathan yanked off his parka and draped it over the man’s exposed body. He dropped to his knees beside him, pulled off his glove and pressed his fingertips to the man’s neck, searching for a pulse.

McKenna knelt next to them. “Is he alive?”

He pushed the panic down. “I can’t get a pulse!” He tried to roll the body over to begin CPR, but the man’s contorted muscles refused to relax.

McKenna pointed toward the island. “Someone’s coming.”

Looking up from the body, he saw a black Land Rover heading in their direction. Was it from the Institute? He didn’t have time to dwell on the questions that popped into his head. Were they watching us? Were we under surveillance? Is that why they were so quick to respond? Or had they been pursuing the man? Right now he didn’t care about the “why” surrounding the cavalry’s arrival. He only hoped the rescuers reached the man in time.

He forced himself to look at the man’s face, twisted upward, eyebrows and eyelashes coated with a thick layer of ice crystals, bloodshot eyes frozen open, lips a dark blue.

The vehicle’s wide tires crunched to a stop a few feet away from them. Two figures, wearing orange hazmat suits, exited the vehicle.

McKenna’s gasp mimicked his own.

The taller of the two orange suits handed each of them a black rubber mask. A clear plastic hose connected it to a stainless steel canister. “Put these on, and step away from the body! Do it now,” he ordered, “or you’re dead.”
Thank you Keith for taking part in my Author Spotlight interview! I hope your writing continues to flourish and we hope to see more of you in the future.

Can't We All Just Get Along?

I often see bumper stickers similar to this:
I imagine that a lot of people believe that peaceful coexistence of all worldwide religions is possible.
I disagree. Not because I don't want to get along with everyone, but because I don't think it is possible.

There are a variety of reasons why I believe this to be the case, but today I would like to point out one hindrance to this ideal. There is one simple unifier of all of the above faiths, with the exception of one.

Islam denies Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
Buddhism basically doesn't regard Jesus Christ at all.
Science - Christian Science denies the deity of Jesus Christ, but I don't think this is what is implied. Many scientists today deny the deity of Christ, deny the miracles of Christ, deny the Resurrection of Christ and deny the Ascension of Christ
Judaism rejects Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
Paganism rejects the idea of a single, all-powerful God, of which Jesus Christ is a member.
Wicca denounces Jesus Christ as Son of God, Savior and Redeemer.

Christianity declares that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, condescended from heaven to earth through a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed a vast variety of miracles that were witnessed by thousands, died on a cross as the propitiation of sin, was buried in a tomb, rose three days later, appeared to hundreds of people for forty days, ascended into the clouds and will return as the triumphant King of Kings, Lord of Lords and establish His Kingdom for all eternity.

There will come a time when everyone on earth joins together in harmony.

First it will be in fear and awe:
“Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen." - Revelation 1:7

Then it will be in bowing before the God of the universe:

"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." - Phillipians 2:9-11

We will coexist eventually.
It just won't be how most of the people who placed these bumper stickers on their vehicles are hoping.

God Is Still God and He Is Still Good

This messed me up during my lunchtime today.
May I live a life that is not wasted.

"This is Mandy, Zachary James Smith, went to be with Jesus at 3:05 p.m. on Sunday May 16th. He is no longer in pain. The cancer has lost and Jesus has the victory in all of this. The battle has been won. I know you all loved Zac, and his presence is missed in our home. Please pray for peace and comfort for my family, as we now figure out how to continue his story to the best of our ability. Watch out because those kids of ours, well let’s just say they have a lot of wisdom from Zac in those little heads. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for them.

Death cannot take away what is already His. To God be the glory. Always."(via)

Two Growth Milestones in a Single Day

In the course of one single day this week, some big things happened in our family. On Monday, our eldest daughter, Lydia, decided on her own that she was going to start going to the bathroom on the toilet. With just a couple of minor mishaps since then, and a couple of nap-time/night-time diaper events, she has successfully made it to the toilet every time she has needed to go. Not to be outdone by her big sister, Lainey decided to show off her talents by rolling over for the first time on the same day. She repeated the event shortly thereafter, but has yet to repeat it that I am aware of.

Within a handful of hours, we went from having two girls totally utilizing diapers, to having one baby in diapers and a toddler who wears them for sleep times. In that same time frame, we went from having one very mobile toddler and one stationary infant, to having one toddler running around and an infant beginning to move across the floor.

These are definitely exciting times in the Walker house.

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward." - Psalm 127:3

Lift Me Up - TuesdayTunes

A lot has been said about Christina Aguilera botching the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner at the beginning of this year's Super Bowl. Having sung the national anthem in a baseball stadium and a hockey arena in front of thousands, I can tell you that it is no easy task to remember the flow of words in that moment and hit all the notes correctly.

Christina Aguilera is incredibly talented.
She messed up on a very public stage.
Perhaps we could extend mercy and grace to her there as well.
I pray she comes to know Jesus.

Lyrics for "Lift Me Up" by Christina Aguilera:

So the pain begins
As the music fades
And I'm left here with
With more than I can take

If you lift me up
Just get me through this night
I know ill rest tomorrow
And ill be strong enough to try

When the static clears
And all is said and done
I will realize
That we all need someone

If you lift me up
Just get me through this night
I know ill rest tomorrow
And ill be strong enough to try

So when you see me crashing
And there's nowhere left to fall
Will you lift me even higher
To rise above this all

If you lift me up
Said if you lift me up

Said if you lift me up
Will it be higher

When you see me crashing
And theres nowhere left to fall
Will you lift me even higher
To rise above this all

If you lift me up
Said if you lift me up
If you lift me up
Just get me through this night

The Healthcare End-Run Option

Thomas Sowell once again speaks the truth:
ObamaCare is another piece of Congressional legislation for which there is no federal authority in the Constitution. But when someone asked Nancy Pelosi where in the Constitution there was any authority for passing such a law, her reply was "Are you kidding?"

Two federal courts have now said that they are not kidding.

The ultimate question is whether the Supreme Court of the United States will back them up. That may depend on how soon the case reaches the Supreme court.

If the issue wends its way slowly up through the Circuit Courts of Appeal, by the time it reaches the Supreme Court, Obama may have put more of his appointees there-- and, if so, they will probably rubberstamp anything he does. He would therefore have done a complete end-run around the Constitution and be well on his way to becoming the Hugo Chavez of North America.

I have to create a work of art that reflects the absurdity of our meaningless universe, or our reaction to it (pick from the six existentialism themes)
I was thinking of doing death absurdity.
I was going to draw a picture of someone working hard to become a doctor his or her whole life, but the person ends up dieing naturally. Tell me if this is a good idea if you have one please suggest or expand on this one. Thank you so much!

  • lit - , Saturday, January 19, 2008 at 4:09pm

    Existentialism... <G> I immediately thought of Sartre's "No Exit". How about a picture of a wide open door with two people fighting to get through it. You could give an impression of the space that lies through the door. If one of them wins, then he walks into oblivion. If neither wins, then they are fighting to go nowhere forever. How about that for - an existential dilemma. <G>

Posted by on Tuesday, March 3, 2009 at 11:10am.

Can someone please look over my paragraph and tell me if theres anything wrong with it.

American Revolution - Patriot or Loyalist Paragraph.

Introduction - Who are the Patriots and Loyalists.

Which side would you have chosen and why?

MUST have 3 reasons.

The paragraph is below.

  • History Paper - , Tuesday, March 3, 2009 at 11:11am

    Loyalists were people who were loyal to the King of England during the American Revolution. They supported the King and his policies. Many of these people were wealthy, land owners or had been appointed by the King to serve in government positions. The Loyalists were also American colonists in favor of keeping things the way they were. Many Loyalists had come to the colonies to make a better life for themselves and their families, but they still enjoyed the privileges of British protection.

    The patriots were American colonists in favor of separation from England. They felt England wasn't doing a good enough job of meeting their needs, and forcing them to do things without their consent or approval (taxing them on tea, when they didn't have representation, for example).
    The Patriots wanted a change and were willing to fight for this change, thus the American Revolution which lasted from 1775-1781.

    Contrary to popular belief, only one-third of all American colonists were Patriots. One-third were Loyalists, and the rest didn't care either way.

    I would have been a Loyalist because England was the strongest empire on Earth at the time. Plus England had a well trained army, and could give protection to the colonies.

    The loyalists knew that the number one power in the world was England, not only militarily, but economically as well. Some maybe feared the power of England and therefore stayed loyal. Others knew that as the number one economic power, England was the prime buyer of American raw materials and agricultural products. One does not want to go to war with ones number one customer.

    Another reason is as long as American colonies were closely tied to England, the great British Navy would protect American products. There were many pirates and privateers preying on shipping lanes. The British Navy helped stop them. The loyalists didn't want that protection to end. There was also the frontier. British troops were protecting the colonies along the Appalachian Mountains. The loyalists didn't want that to end either. They were willing to pay taxes in order to pay for the British troops in the colonies.

    Lastly the revolutionists would only sever ties with England and start a new kingdom. This would cause major problems. No other form of government had existed for over 1500 years-except when Oliver Cromwell took control of England. Unless you were born to a royal family, you were only the a subject of one monarch or another.

    Would you rather be a patriot or a loyalist?
    Would you rather be a patriot and have a weak government, with a untrained army of hatters, farmers, blacksmiths, etc....?
    Or would you rather be a loyalist and live under a strong government, have protection from invaders and a well trained army? I choose Loyalist.
    My conclusion isn't that great, but I couldn't thing of anything else.
    Thanks for your assistance.

(how do I go about solving this, i know i need to conver 88days to secs and that would be 126,720. but I don't where to go from there, help please)

What is the average linear speed of Mercury about the Sun? (The distance from the Sun to Mercury is 5.80 1010 meters. The orbital period around the Sun is 88 days.)

  • physics - , Monday, March 8, 2010 at 7:56am

    The speed of Mercury in orbit is
    V = 2 pi R/(period). Your conversion of the period to seconds is incorrect. You have apparently converted it to minutes.

    Use R = 5.80 10^10 meters as the distance of Mercury from the sun.

Google Testing Reader Subscriptions in Search Results

Today I was working on building out a new site, which involved adding some functionality to a WordPress site that I started last night. I wanted to add breadcrumbs to the theme, so I remembered that Joost de Valk has the correct WordPress code for this on his site.

I searched [yoast breadcrumbs code] and was returned this SERP –

What’s Going On?

Apparently, Google is testing showing you personalized results (through Search, Plus Your World) through your RSS/Google Reader subscriptions. I see the same test when I search for my friend and peer [ross hudgens] because I am subscribed to his RSS feed as well –

Now What?

If this test becomes more than that, I think this shows the value of having people sign up to receive your updates via RSS. Even those RSS is dying, and most people are getting their updates through Twitter and social networks now, this is an interesting move for Google. I can’t imagine that this one will be successful, but Google seems to be clasping at straws, trying to get personalized results into your SERPs. I think Google+ is eventually the goal for this, but it’s not used enough so now Google is asking themselves “Well, what now?”

So have people sign up to your RSS feed by making a clear call-to-action. Here’s mine:

If it’s your first or second visit, you’ll see a different call to action for just the RSS feed.

Personally I wonder if Google would ever give us stats on how these changes affect click-through rates. I’d love it if Google would show something similar to what they show for author stats, but I don’t think they want us knowing how these different factors help or hurt our sites.

Have you seen this test? Think it’ll stick around?

Winwick Wind Farm

Soil Stabilisation of Access Tracks and Crane Platforms

Client: Blue Energy

Surfacing & soil stabilisation

Soil Stabilisation

Faced with the challenge of constructing over three kilometres of new access track and six crane platforms on arable farmland with no suitable sources of aggregate in the local area, Jones Bros drew on its expertise in soil stabilisation to design and construct an innovative solution that was not only fit for purpose but also offered significant cost, programme and environmental benefits.

Traditionally wind farm tracks and crane platforms are constructed using geosynthetics and imported aggregates to achieve the required axle loads and bearing capacities. After analysis of the soil type at Winwick, we were able to propose a design using lime and cement to reinforce a depth of 600mm of soil, capped with a layer of recycled road planings.

Soils were stripped and stockpiled to a depth of 400mm below finished level. Our specialist rotovation plant was then used to apply an initial dose of lime to condition the soil prior to the addition of cement. The matrix was then compacted before placing excavated subsoil to form the second layer and repeating the process. The stabilised soil was expected to take 7 days to cure however we found we were able to achieve passing plate load tests within 2 days.

By taking this approach, we were able to reduce the quantity of aggregate imported to the site by over 22,000t, resulting in 2,200 less HGV movements. During the wind turbine delivery and erection phase of the works, no problems were encountered with the pavement structure, with only minor maintenance required to the granular surface on completion.

2002/05/27 IMF and World Bank: Out of Control
THE International Monetary Fund and World Bank are institutions out of control. For evidence, consider the institutions' feeble and fatally flawed debt relief program. Under their Highly Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) initiative, the world's poorest countries can receive reduction of approximately one third of their current payments to overseas creditors -- if they endure six years of closely monitored, extremely intrusive "structural adjustment." ... HIPC is the institutions' most important fig-leaf, a program designed to obscure the view of the harm they are doing to poor countries.

Greenwash + 10
The UN's "Global Compact" with global corporations associates with notorious violators of UN values -- Global Compact companies have already violated the Principles of the Compact, without censure -- or even acknowledgement -- from UN officials. The Global Compact represents a smuggling of a business agenda into the United Nations. It should not be considered a contribution to or framework for the Johannesburg Summit. Here's the evidence.

The United Nations Development Programme's "Human Development Report 2001 -- Making new technologies work for human development" attempts to address a key question for the 21st century: will technology entrench millions in even greater poverty -- or can it be used to eradicate poverty and suffering? But it chooses the wrong challenge. The key issue is not "making new technologies work for human development". The challenge is enabling poor people to make technologies work for them.

Murder that is a threat to survival
There is a strong link between diminishing global biodiversity and the disappearance of languages. While new trees can be planted and habitats restored, it is much more difficult to restore languages once they have been murdered. It has taken centuries for people to learn about their environments and to name the complex ecological relationships that are decisive for maintenance of biodiversity. When indigenous peoples lose their languages, much of this knowledge also disappears. And languages are being murdered today faster than ever before in human history.

Seed patents threaten world food resources

These negotiations are a life insurance for humanity against rapid environmental, social and economic changes. Future food supplies will be under threat unless the talks succeed.

The wreckers who trade in misery
Dedicated and well-organised groups are ruthlessly chipping away at the remnants of the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) credibility. There is a real danger that they will cause the rules-based trading system to collapse, destroying efforts to reduce poverty and global inequality. The wreckers are not from the broadening anti-globalisation, anti-WTO protest movement. They are the governments of the world's richest countries, using their power to subordinate the WTO to their national interests and to the pursuit of corporate profit, regardless of the cost to poor countries, public health and the environment.

BP -- Beyond Preposterous
BP Amoco won a Corporate Watch "Greenwash Award" for its thoroughly misleading ad campaign "Beyond Petroleum". The slogan "Beyond Petroleum" is supposed to mean moving "beyond fossil fuels" to renewable fuels, but BP uses it to refer to its marketing push for natural gas -- a fossil fuel. BP spent more on its new eco-friendly logo in 1999 than on renewable energy. This was BP's second Greenwash award in 18 months. Read how BP boss Sir John Browne won a Greenpeace "Academy Award" for "Best Impression of an Environmentalist" for creating "an environmental fantasy of epic proportions". And behind the fantasy?

Technology and the poor

Technology, Poverty and the Future of the Developing World

-- from
Human Development Report 2001 - ITDG response, Intermediate Technology Development Group (now Practical Action), see Practical Action website for further information:

UNDP website for HDR

The United Nations Development Programme's "Human Development Report 2001 -- Making new technologies work for human development" attempts to address a key question for the 21st century: will technology entrench millions in even greater poverty -- or can it be used to eradicate poverty and suffering?

Revolutionary changes in technology are driving forwards globalisation. But globalisation is creating greater inequalities than at any time in history.

The Human Development Report 2001 (HDR) is a vital and powerful first contribution which can inform a new worldwide debate.

But it chooses the wrong challenge. The key issue is not "making new technologies work for human development". The challenge is enabling poor people to make technologies work for them.

The Intermediate Technology Development Group (ITDG), with 35 years' hands-on experience with technology issues in poor countries, says the HDR reflects old thinking about new technologies. What is required is new thinking about all technologies which are of use to poor people -- whether those technologies are "old" or "new".

This means starting with poor people and what they need from technology -- not starting with technologies and "applying" them to "poverty".

It means building the capacity of poor women and men to choose and use technology; to adapt, develop and improve it; and to manage it sustainably over time. Without addressing these factors, no technology can be successfully "applied" to their livelihoods.

And it means subjecting any new technology choice to the "three As" analysis -- whether it is Affordable, Accessible, and Appropriate (see below).

Under this approach the HDR's concentration on "new" technologies and global policy frameworks fails the key challenge -- enabling poor people to make technologies work for them.

Old thinking, false assumptions

The HDR reflects old thinking about new technologies. It starts with the technologies, not with the people and their environment. It assumes a model of technology transfer in which a technology is researched and developed far from its potential application and then taken out and "diffused" to tackle poverty.

It assumes that this transfer of the "new" technologies is both practical and desirable (for example, it does not question the as yet unproven benefits of biotechnology in agriculture). It assumes that "countries" make these technology choices.

Despite analysing some technologies which are "old" but have still to diffuse to poor people it has no answer as to why this should be so. Some transforming technologies which clearly reduce poverty include: electricity, still not available to two billion people; technology for safe water supply, still denied to one billion people; and adequate sanitation, which over two billion still lack.

How can we be sure that, for example, information and communications technologies will not meet the same fate -- particularly when one third of humanity has yet to use a telephone? What are the barriers to people's access to technology, and how can they be tackled?

The three As test -- affordable, accessible and appropriate?

The barriers to technology diffusion are best understood by using the three As analysis. The grassroots partners of ITDG -- poor women and men -- would look at any technology option and consider whether it is:

The "new" technologies are not immediately affordable or accessible to poor people. And there are serious questions about their appropriateness.

New technologies developed for and within rich countries are not easily affordable to people surviving on $1 a day. The HDR itself vividly illustrates the distorted priorities and injustices of new scientific and technological development within a liberalised framework for trade and investment -- static levels of public-sector R&D and a rapidly growing dominance of private-sector R&D, almost all of it in OECD countries and addressing rich men's desires and anxieties, not poor women's suffering.

Even could they afford them, poor people may find new technologies inaccessible. They may require extensive existing infrastructure, such as power and telecommunications, which do not exist in poor communities. Or they presuppose a high level of education, skills and training in the user. Or information about them is not available locally. Or there is no development of back-up services for the products such as computer software or replacement photovoltaic cells.

Technology developed at a great distance and for other markets is unlikely to meet the local needs of poor and often isolated communities. Agricultural biotechnology, for instance, is specifically targeted at medium- or large-scale commercial farmers. By encouraging dependence on single-seed varieties, it might drastically undermine the livelihoods of smallholder farmers who need a range of locally adapted varieties as a hedge against specific risks such as rain failure or pest infestation.

Even "appropriate technology", where it has not been actively developed in partnership with the users, will fail. Solar cookers, for example, are simple, efficient and low-cost alternatives to traditional biomass fuels. But they have not been adopted by local people -- whose labour patterns in their fields and markets do not fit with spending the main part of the daylight hours cooking.

Some new technologies may be adaptable to pass the three As test, but as yet the proof is slim.

So the technology question must be widened -- if technology is to benefit poor people, what is really required is new thinking on all technologies which they can potentially use.

Need for new thinking on all technologies

By contrast to the HDR, ITDG proposes that technology will only solve problems of poverty if we start from the people, and what they need from technologies.

With the decline in economic and political power of the nation state, "countries" rarely can choose technologies, except in a general policy sense. It is people, not countries, who make technology choices.

The focus of the 21st century technology debate should therefore not be falsely restricted to "new" technologies, but should include all technologies of use to poor people.

Some brief examples:

The "opportunity costs" of neglecting these low-cost technologies in favour of untested (and, in the case of biotechnology, potentially damaging) "new" technologies may be critical.

The 35 years experience of ITDG and many others in the "appropriate technology movement" is that any opening up of technology options ("old" or "new'), requires technology to be seen not only as technical hardware and software, but as a process comprising other variables such as information and knowledge, skills and training, organisational and management capacity, and the use of markets.

New technologies will only "transfer", and other existing technologies be adapted and improved, if there is:

Policy frameworks -- local versus global

While the HDR makes some very valuable recommendations for policies at the global level, these will have little relevance or effect unless accompanied by powerful new thinking on the use of technology at the local level.

This will require much more investment by multilateral agencies, donor governments and developing country governments in demonstration projects to assess how to build poor people's technological capacities.

It will then require commitment to expand upon the best of these local lessons on a widespread scale.

It will require the political will to enter partnerships with poor people, their associations and institutions, and to remove the barriers in their way.

ITDG's recommendations

ITDG welcomes the HDR's clarion call for new action on the role of technology in development. It welcomes many of the global policy recommendations made by the report.

In addition ITDG would recommend that:

  1. All technologies of potential use to poor people are considered in global and national technology strategies -- not just the "new" technologies. Which will be most sustainable, and create the biggest benefits?

  2. The most important efforts of multilateral agencies, donor governments and developing country governments should be directed towards building the technological capacities of poor people -- and particularly women, who are 70 per cent of the poor, and whose technological contributions are usually overlooked.

  3. Many more "intermediary" organisations, who can help poor women and men to expand their technology choices, should be stimulated and funded -- appropriate technology institutes, NGOs, local authorities, and associations of small producers, for example.

  4. On Research and Development, the new international partnerships recommended by the HDR should specifically aim to create greater developing country capacity for R&D; and at national level, public funds should be used to support low-income and marginalised technology users to undertake incremental R&D.

  5. The local and traditional knowledge which is one of the greatest technological assets of poor people should be protected by:

The HDR focuses on the "new" technologies -- principally ICTs (information and communications technologies) and biotechnology, with mention of renewable energy technologies and nanotechnology -- and examines how they can be made useful to poor people. Its starting point is the technologies, and it overlooks the vast range of technologies in daily use by poor women and men.

By contrast, ITDG's approach is founded on Schumacher's dictum: "Find out what people are doing, and help them to do it better." That is, ITDG starts with people and enables them to achieve sustainable livelihoods by building their own technical and organisational capacities, achieving technology choice, and adapting and improving technologies.

Appaholic: Scroll the Torah, 21st century style
October 18, 2012 14:07
The Torah for iPad app lets you actually “touch” the Torah while “scrolling” through it with a virtual hand-shaped pointer.

Even though the High Holy Days are well behind us, there are some practices and customs that are relevant throughout the year. Seeing at the last of the High Holy Days was Simhat Torah – where we celebrate the conclusion of a cycle of Torah readings, expressing our joy by singing and dancing with the Torah – it seems only natural that Appaholic would jump into the spirit of things.

Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page.

As an ode to the Torah, this week, we turn our eye to one special iPad app, Torah for iPad.

While there’s no substitute for the real thing, this Rusty Brick app does go the extra mile in an attempt to recreate the feel of standing beside a real Torah. Not only does the Hebrew lettering mirror the script found in an actual Torah, the app even comes with a “yad” – the hand shaped pointer traditionally used to touch the parchment of the Torah.

Readers who are less familiar with the Torah text and scholarship should, however, take caution: There is little English in this app. While each Parsha can be quickly accessed through an English-language index, those searching for English commentary, insight and analysis should search elsewhere.

At the start of this cycle of the Torah, if you're feeling inspired to start this cycle of parsha readings off on the right foot, consider investing in this Rusty Brick app.

Cost: $7.99
Requirements: Compatible with iPad. Requires iOS 3.2 or later

Appaholic is a bi-weekly column which thematically reviews mobile apps with a Jewish or Israeli twist. If you have an app to suggest, send details to

The 2014 winners of the prestigious Wolf Prize were announced by Education Minister and chairman of the Wolf Foundation Shai Piron at an event at the Land of Israel Museum in Tel Aviv.

Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page.

The internationally renowned Wolf prize is awarded annually to a number of laureates in the sciences, as well as in the arts, and is considered second in importance to the Nobel Prize.

This year, the five $100,000 prizes will be awarded to eight winners from four countries – the United States, Canada, Sweden, and Taiwan – for their exceptional work in the fields of medicine, agriculture, chemistry, mathematics, and painting and sculpture, it was announced on Thursday.

The prize in medicine will be awarded this year, to Israeli Prof. Nahum Sonenberg of McGill University in Montreal for his discovery of the proteins that control the protein expression mechanism and their operation, and to professors Gary Ruvkun of Mass General Hospital Department of Molecular Biology and Harvard Medical School and Victor Ambros of the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the United States for the discovery of the micro- RNA molecules that play a key role in controlling gene expression in natural processes and disease development.

In agriculture, the prize will be awarded to professors Jorje Dubcovsky, of the University of California, Davis, and Lief Andersson, of Uppsala University in Sweden, for their contribution to the study of plants and animals, through the use of cutting-edge genomic technologies.

In chemistry, the prize will be awarded to Prof. Chi-Huey Wong of Aacademica Sinica in Taiwan, for his numerous and original contributions to the development of innovative methods for the programmable and applied synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycol-proteins.

The prize in mathematics will be awarded to Prof. Peter Sarnak of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, United States, for his deep contributions in analysis, number theory, geometrics, and combinatory.

In the arts, the prize will be awarded to Olafur Eliasson, a Danish artist of Icelandic heritage, for his integration of arts and science, which evokes personal and universal moments of epiphany.

The prizes will be awarded to the winners at a state ceremony at the Knesset, and attended by President Shimon Peres, in May.

The Wolf Foundation began its activities in 1976, with an initial endowment fund of $10 million, donated by the Wolf family, with the aim of awarding prizes to outstanding scientists and artists for achievements in the “interest of mankind and friendly relations among peoples” and to award scholarships and grants to students and scientists engaged in research at Israeli higher education institutions.

The state comptroller oversees all the foundation’s activities and the education minister acts as chairman of the council.
