You don’t have to be in combat to be a veteran.

During World War II, Ysaac Elizalde provided the troops with the food necessary to give them enough energy to prepare for the horrors of combat. Elizalde would go on to make a career of this, delivering milk to thousands of homes in Corpus Christi, Texas, for more than 40 years.

Born in 1921 in Bee County, Texas, he doesn’t remember much from his youth. He says he didn’t feel the effects of the Great Depression to the same degree the rest of the country did.

“We always had plenty [of food],” Elizalde said.

His father, Ysidro Elizalde, prohibited him from attending school.

“My father would say, ‘Why do you need to go to school? Learn to work,’” recalled Elizalde in Spanish, adding that he never learned to read or speak English as a result.

By age nine, he was already working full time in the fields with his father. It seemed Elizalde was destined to work the fields for the rest of his life, until the day he was drafted when he was 19.

On Dec. 7, 1941, the United States was hit with a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, and the small Bee County town of Beeville, where Elizalde lived, soon felt the impact. The U.S. declared war, and needed hundreds of thousands of men to fill the military’s ranks as a result.

Elizalde was soon drafted into the Army.

“They took us. Whether we were young or old, they took us,” he said.

The Army allowed Elizalde to branch out from the small ranch he worked on in Beeville and experience the rest of the world. First, he’d get shipped off to San Antonio, Texas, for four or five days. And then, for the first time in his life, he’d receive some formal education: For three weeks, he went to classes as part of his basic training in Fresno, Calif.

“I finally learned my ABCs,” said Elizalde, adding that he even picked up how to write a little.

After four to five months of basic training, he was shipped to Oregon as an assistant to the cooks. He peeled potatoes and dished out food in lines.

Little did he know, he’d spend the rest of his working years serving food to strangers.

For the last year of his short military career, Elizalde was stationed as a member of the Army Air Corps’ 306th Training Group at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas, where he assisted the cooks. He never saw combat, and says he feels fortunate for that.

Elizalde was honorably discharged Nov. 5, 1943, at the rank of Private. He says he remembers his homecoming clearly because the first thing he did when he got home was ask his girlfriend to marry him.

She said yes, and 65 years later, he and Elumina Perez Delgado are still married. They have three grown children: two boys, Iszac and Eloy, and a girl, Nelda.

“I think us still being married is a great example for the younger generation. It shows we took our vows seriously,” Elizalde said.

Within 18 months, he found a job delivering milk in Corpus Christi. He’d spend more than 40 years delivering in the area, becoming the iconic milkman, now largely a part of American history.

“At first, I didn’t drive the truck; I just assisted the other drivers in loading and unloading their trucks,” said Elizalde, who still remembers the times big changes were made to the way milk was distributed. “First we used glass bottles, the cartons, then, finally, plastic bottles.”

Elizalde says he worked his way up the milk-services ladder from deliveryman to dispatcher, and that the hardest task was going to Houston to pick up dairy containers.

“I would come in at 12 midnight and it took a few hours to inspect the shipment, then, on a good day, we could make the round trip in four hours,” he said.

Elizalde recalls facing little discrimination growing up.

“Everyone was Latino mostly; there wasn’t a lot of prejudice going on,” he said.

He does remember a discriminatory incident from his return home after his service, however:

“We stopped in San Antonio to get some food, but the restaurant did not want to serve Mexicans,” recalled Elizalde, adding that a bystander came to his rescue.

“He told them that we were just as American as anyone in there; they are in service and they are troops.”

Elizalde says he left the restaurant with a full stomach.

At the time of his interview, Elizalde was 87 years old, long-since retired from the milk business and living in Beeville, to where he moved back to take care of his mother, Eusebia Cano Elizalde, until she passed away.

“I moved back here because I promised my dad I would take care of my mom if he passed away. He would say silly thing[s] like he wanted mom to die first so she wouldn’t suffer after he was gone,” Elizalde said.

His father died first, in 1983. Elizalde remembers the words he said to him to ease his mind:

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll take care of Mom.”

Elizalde prides himself on owning his own piece of land and still being able to drive. He accepts that today’s young people are different from how he was, but urges them to look back to the past, so they can be grateful for all the rights and privileges they take advantage of today.

“Today’s youth does not know what it is to suffer,” Elizalde said.

Mr. Elizalde was interviewed in Beeville, Texas, on March 27, 2009, by David Silva.

Kidz becomes PlayStation IP sub-agent

Samantha Loveday

By Samantha Loveday

May 18th 2010 at 10:40AM
Kidz becomes PlayStation IP sub-agent

Firm to develop consumer products programme for Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

Target Entertainment Group has appointed Kidz Entertainment as the licensing sub-agent for the PlayStation brand and selected software IPs across Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

The firm will manage a merchandise programme spanning all consumer product categories, excluding PlayStation peripherals and PlayStation specific accessories.

The PlayStation brand incorporates the PlayStation logo, the format logos and well-known symbols and phrases like 'The Game is Just the Start'.

The IPs licensed to Kidz are LittleBigPlanet, God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Wipeout, EyePet and Invizimals.

"We are delighted to be working with Kidz Entertainment and expanding the PlayStation licensing activities into several new territories," said Richard Woolf, director of licensing at TEG.

Morten Geschwendtner, chairman and director of business development at Kidz, added: "We are delighted with this new deal, which will spearhead our focus on corporate and non character brands. We have just hired a former Sony employee to head our brand management in this area and are looking forward to developing strong partnerships with licensees and retailers across Scandinavia and Eastern Europe."

No Netbook Concessions For Windows 8

I recently pointed out that Microsoft’s current requirements for Windows 8 don’t make it a great choice for older netbooks. Despite speculation, it doesn’t seem like Microsoft will be doing anything to make Windows 8 more effective on those devices.A post about screen sizes on the Building Windows 8 blog reinforces that Microsoft has no intention of backing down on its current screen resolution requirements (a minimum of 1024 by 768) for Windows 8. The post argues that this doesn’t impact many machines in the market:

Looking at the data about devices in the marketplace today, we see that only 1.2% of active Windows 7 users have screens with a resolution of less than 1024×768. When designing a new platform that supports the devices of today and tomorrow (with undoubtedly higher resolutions) we optimized for the majority of today’s screens (i.e. 98.8%) without sacrificing the experience and complicating the developer story for legacy screens. In addition, the runrate of new PCs with screen sizes of 1024×600 and 1280×720 has dramatically fallen and, to the best of our knowledge, almost no new mainstream PCs are being manufactured with this resolution.

While some people (me included) have speculated that Microsoft will produce a ‘starter’ edition of Windows 8 for netbooks, it seems more likely that netbooks will either adopt a higher resolution, or companies building simpler devices will stick with Windows 7 Starter.

Another interesting stat from the post:

On laptops (over 75% of PCs purchased by consumers) most applications are run maximized all the time—this makes sense given the real estate available and the design points of most interfaces and web sites.

I’ve copped heat from Mac fans in the past for my own preference for running apps maximised, something that is hard to do with many Mac OS X apps (unless you use the very handy RightZoom). Those criticisms become somewhat more muted after Apple itself began promoting full-screen apps, but it’s good to see that I’m not alone in working that way.

Opinion   Kristan Hawkins   Nov 22, 2012   |   12:49PM    Washington, DC

Last night, my husband and I went Christmas shopping for our boys and out to a movie, our first evening without Gunner and Bear in months. Which movie did we chose to see? Lincoln.

The movie picks up immediately after President Lincoln’s re-election in January 1865. Against the advice of his Cabinet members and advisors, President Lincoln decides that before the end of the Civil War, the House of Representatives must pass the 13th Amendment, permanently abolishing slavery once and for all.

The story details President Lincoln’s epic fight to get the Amendment passed in the House, building a coalition of Conservative and Radical Republicans and a few Democrats to obtain the two-thirds majority necessary for passage. It was a loose coalition, with the majority of those voting preferring to pass the Amendment at a different time or to go further than simply abolishing slavery. At every turn, diplomacy was needed.

It was an uphill battle, one that the majority thought to be impossible, but having a leader in President Lincoln made the impossible Amendment a reality.

During the entire movie, I couldn’t help but think of our fight to end abortion in our nation. Replacing the word “slavery” for “abortion” during the movie gave me chills.

Last week, the Washington Times asked me to write an op-ed about the future of the Republican Party and abortion. In the article, I asked where the William Wilberforce (the British politician who led the fight to end the slave trade and slavery in Great Britain) of our day was, the political leader who could lead our nation of our the darkness of abortion. And during last night’s movie, I couldn’t help but think what could be possible if only we had a President 100% determined to make abortion a thing of the past.

I truly believe this day is coming. I see it in the young people we inspire and train every day on the campuses.

And while the next four years will be a challenge for our movement and nation, I believe they will be a turning a point. A time when our movement will look back and note that things changed after the election of 2012. The fight to end abortion got more strategic, sophisticated, and intense than ever and mobilized millions.

And this Thanksgiving, while our team is busy finalizing our strategy for 2013 and beyond, I am thankful for so many things – not for material things but for the inmeasurables – my family who allows me to do this work and sacrifices time away from me as I travel this country, our movement of over 700 fearless pro-life student groups across the nation, our passionate, dedicated team at SFLA, and for you, our spiritual and financial supporters of this mission work.

You allow our work at Students for Life of America to be possible. You have walked alongside of us for these past 6 years as we attempted to do something never before done. And because of you, lives are being saved every day where abortions happen the most – on our nation’s college campuses – and we are ending abortion daily by reducing the “demand” for the horrific act by identifying, inspiring, and training young people to be Ambassadors for Life.

And if you ever want to see first-hand the progress we are making in training our nation’s pro-life generation, please come out and join us on a campus, at a regional conference, or at our national conference on January 26th. I would love to show you this generation’s abolitionists.

I hope today is a wonderful day for you and your family – a time of thanksgiving and remembrance.

As you gather for prayer today, please include a prayer for those mothers who are, today, deciding whether or not to allow their child to live; for healing for those who have already chosen abortion; for those birthmothers who have selflessly placed their babies with adoptive families; for those students who stand bravely, no matter what the costs, for Life on campus; and for the current and future leaders of our nation – that we will inspire and support a leader in the mold of William Wilberforce of Abraham Lincoln to rise up and work with the millions of pro-lifers across this nation to finally end abortion in our lifetime.

    Yes, the larger size option is best for this as it has the longest line length and greater height off the ground.

    Does this model come with any warranty?
    Yes, this is covered by a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty for the frame and 12 months for the cord.

Did these fixtures truly hang in the countryside home of a European aristocrat or do they merely look the part, draped in faceted crystal beads, and multi faceted hand polished teardrops. Gracefully curved wrought iron tapered arms are joined by straps or wander off into elegant curls. The rich Peruvian Bronze finish completes the Victorian look.

This dress is gorgeous!!! It's a corset type dress so you'll need to know how you want to lace it up. But the Ribbon is included and removable so you can change the ribbon at you leisure. It's also quite puffy on the bottom, giving me a wonderful princess look. The dress shipped and was delivered 3 days before i expected and it even cane with a lovely dress bag. I will definitely continue to buy from Light in the Box!

The dress is beautiful, my daughter loves it. It was received very closely to the time we were told it would be, which I was happy about. The only problem we had was the poor customer service and the run-around we had in the beginning was almost to the point of me canceling the order. Again though, the dress did turn out great and fits well!

Early slate tests Long Beach
Jeff Wilson/Herald
Melissa Rubin, right, a four-year varsity player and a key to Long Beach’s midfield, looked to avoid a pair of Manhasset defenders April 3.

After a spirited run to the Nassau Class B girls’ lacrosse semifinals last spring, Long Beach opened 2014 by facing what could prove to be the toughest three opponents on its schedule.

The Lady Marines sandwiched a one-goal victory over St. John The Baptist between conference defeats to powerhouses Garden City and Manhasset, which have combined for the past 20 county Class B or small schools championships.

“Facing the teams we did to start the year can only help us moving forward,” Long Beach coach Rachel Ray said. “We played at a high level last season and brought back a pretty young team. We’ll get better every game.”

Ray said she was pleased with the 11-10 victory at St. John The Baptist on March 31, but wanted to see more production in the first two conference games despite the high level of competition. “It was a little disappointing we scored only seven goals in the two games,” she said of a 6-2 defeat to Garden City on March 22, and a 16-5 loss to Manhasset on April 3. “I wouldn’t mind seeing Garden City a second time.”

Long Beach’s strength is at midfield, Ray said, with seniors Liz Rourke and Melissa Rubin, and junior Hannah Sofield. Rourke, in her fifth varsity campaign and coming off an Honorable Mention All-County season, is headed to play at San Diego State. “She’s been a big part of our team since eighth grade when I brought her up after watching her play one JV game,” Ray said of Rourke, who scored four times, including the tying goal with 55 seconds left, against St. John The Baptist. “She’s a consistent scorer and defender, and takes almost every draw.”

Rubin is a four-year varsity performer and another strong two-way player. She will play collegiately at Berkley in California. “Melissa takes the game seriously and is similar to Liz in many ways,” Ray said. “They both have great stick skills and we count on them a lot.”

Sofield, who netted the game-winning goal with 36 seconds remaining at St. John The Baptist, is an excellent defender who sees the field well. “There could be times we use her at in-close defense,” Ray said.

I've got one of these and still have LOTS of questions about how to make my Ubuntu work smoothly.

1. Battery Power.
The fan is ALWAYS ON, even if I don't use any apps. So, instead of the promised 8 hours I only get 3 hours of battery life :-(
Tried all the powertop hints. Maybe I have to switch to that internal graphics card?

2. Suspend.
Latest Bios installed, however just suspend/resume does not work.

3. Boot.
Sometimes the GRUB freezes after a few seconds instead of continuing the countdown. So, I have to always hit the Enter Key when the boot menu pops up.

4. Network Manager
The ubuntu/Gnome Networkmanager drives me crazy. I can not edit configurations - it asks me for a password but then still tells me I have not enough privileges!? Why can't it just connect my 3G stick automatically? And what's that stupid keyring??

Great to get some advice from you people who have figured out some of these problems!

The great thing about Unix is that you can write programs to do just about anything you want. The down side is that you may have to write a program every time you want to get anything done. A Unix system administrator—and the average Linux user is his own administrator—is faced with a seemingly never-ending stream of small jobs which are too tedious for human hands but too infrequent for a large programming effort.

Most of the programs I write are run once and thrown away. A significantly smaller number see action as often as once a week. I can count the number of programs run every day on one hand. Obviously, I can't afford to spend much time on any one program. I need a language in which it's easy to develop, easy to debug, and easy to extend. C, the traditional Unix programming language, doesn't offer any of these. In this article I'll introduce a language which does.

Scheme is closely related to Lisp, a language whose name once stood for “LISt Processing”. Lisp first saw the light of day in 1958; unfortunately, it has not become a stellar commercial success since then. In fact, common knowledge says that Lisp and its sister language Scheme are bloated and slow. While that may have been true in the bad old days when every programmer wrote in assembler and toggled the program into the computer's front panel with his teeth, today it's more important to maximize programmer productivity than to minimize machine cost. Scheme advances this goal by providing the programmer with a flexible but safe language which allows him to operate at a higher level than he would with C.

Scheme's Features

How exactly does it do that, you ask? First, and most importantly, Scheme provides automatic memory management. A C programmer must explicitly allocate and de-allocate every object he uses. If the program allocates more than he de-allocates, memory will leak and be wasted. If the program de-allocates too often, the program will behave incorrectly or even crash. Thanks to a process known as “garbage collection”, a Scheme programmer need only concern himself with allocation. He allocates an object when he needs it, and the Scheme runtime system frees it when the object is no longer needed.

Scheme provides a richer selection of data types than C does. While the C programmer has only numbers, characters, arrays, and pointers to choose from, the Scheme programmer has at his disposal numbers, characters, arrays, strings, lists, association lists, functions, closures, ports, and booleans. In addition, Scheme and C disagree on how to handle typing information: C assigns a type to each variable, and each variable may hold only values of that type. Scheme assigns no type to variables, but identifies each value with a type. One of the benefits of this approach is that it allows “polymorphism”, which means that one function can take arguments of many types. For example, you might have one function that could search for a word or a list of words.

An arguably peripheral issue plays an important part in making Scheme such a wonderful language for development: Scheme is available in both interpreted and compiled implementations. My experience with interpreted languages shows that development with an interpreted language leads to faster prototyping and debugging of the finished product. After two years programming in interpreted languages (mostly Perl and Scheme/Lisp), I cannot tolerate the edit-compile-run cycle that plagues the C programmer. With most Scheme interpreters, you can simply reload the particular function definition that you have changed. You have the full capabilities of the language at your disposal from the debugger, and you can even modify a running program!

Finally, a Scheme program is usually safer and more robust than its C counterpart. The Scheme primitives are type-safe—unlike the C primitives which will let you add a string, a character, and an integer, or cast any number to a pointer and then dereference it—and the Scheme environment provides significantly better error-checking than any C compiler could.

The Bottom Line

Why does C allow these deficiencies to exist? Do Scheme's conveniences come for free? Of course not.

As with most things in computer science, you are given three options: fast, cheap, and correct (you may pick two). The most common Scheme implementation, an interpreter, suffers from slowness and slightly inflated memory usage. Scheme compilers produce much faster code at the expense of larger executables and decreased (or totally removed) error checking. Which two of the attributes you pick depends on which two you need. Most programs don't need to be blindingly fast, but you can make Scheme fast if you need it.

Another drawback stems directly from the overwhelming popularity of C. Most external libraries and system interfaces are available as C-linkable libraries. Scheme users have little or no access to such libraries. My favorite Scheme implementation's solution to this is its Foreign Function Interface (FFI). An FFI allows a Scheme program to access variables and functions written in another language. Here's a short Scheme program that uses the FFI provided by Bigloo, a version of Scheme, to access the C function “printf” and the global system error variable “errno”:

(module ffi-example
        (foreign (int errno "errno")
                 (int printf
                       (string . foreign)
        (main show-errno))
 (define (show-errno argv)
   (printf "The value of errno is %d" errno)

Scheme can allow C the use of its functions through similar directives. With a decent FFI, Scheme and C programs can share data and interfaces as freely as two C programs.

Even the slowest Scheme interpreter is adequately fast for most of my day-to-day programs. Most Unix programs spend most of their time waiting for I/O to complete, and mine are no exception. The few programs that must be as computationally efficient as possible gain respectable increases in speed from using a Scheme compiler. In some cases, a program compiled by the Bigloo compiler at maximum optimization ran exactly as fast as the C equivalent compiled with “gcc -O2”. A trivial example is provided below. (See the table and two program listings).

(module optest
       (main main))
(define (main argv)
  (let ((b (string->integer (cadr argv)))
        (j 0))
    (do ((i 1 (+ i 1)))
        ((> i b))

IPcop and IP blacklisting

Hi guys, I have been using linux for quite a while now, and I am starting to become confident with the OS and I am really enjoying using Linux.

Tomorrow I will be installing ' IPCop 1.4.6' on and one of my machines to protect the others, all linux machines.

Now, I am sure I can get this set up without a problem, the documentation is very good, but what I am looking for is a way to incorporate the IP Blacklists from into the firewall.

IS this possible, and if so, how can it be done? I would run linblock on each machine, but it uses far too many resources for my liking. So having it all Incorporated into the firewall machine would really make my network more secure.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance;

Some Analysts Still Don't Get It

Oct 27, 2011, 18:00 (4 Talkback[s])

"In the early days of Linux, analysts were spouting all kinds of nonsense about Linux. It was pretty clear that folks from firms like Forrester and Gartner weren't clued in entirely about what Linux is, how open source works, nor did they have any vision for the future.

But after 20 years, I figured that most analysts with a major firm like Forrester would know better than writing silly posts that say mobile has killed Linux's hopes for world domination. Unfortunately not.

DAMAGE DONE through August 1st

RAISING RUFUS through August 8th

Agent Spotlight: Adriann Ranta

This week's Agent Spotlight features Adriann Ranta of Wolf Literary Services, LLC.

Status: Accepting submissions.

AdriannRanta About: "Adriann Ranta is a literary agent at Wolf Literary Services, actively acquiring both fiction and nonfiction, specializing in children's and young adult novels. A magna cum laude graduate of the University of Arizona, she served as managing editor of Between the Lines, The Editorial Department's e-zine focused on the business of publishing, before moving to New York and working as foreign liaison, permissions and rights manager, and scout for Anderson Literary Management.  While an avid reader of most subjects and themes, she is most interested in gritty, realistic, true-to-life stories with conflicts based in the real world. She likes edgy, dark, challenging voices, unique settings, and everyman stories told with a new spin." (via e-mail 2010)

About the Agency:

“Wolf Literary Services is a full-service literary agency specializing in dynamic, quirky books written for all ages. As an agency, we have a deep respect for the place where “low” art meets high art—we like a good story, regardless of genre.

“We specialize in the kinds of books that meaningfully connect with their readers—the stories that keep you up all night so you know what happens next. We are excited by books that are provocative within a familiar context—we love writers that can subvert a reader’s expectations.

“WLS provides our clients with support, experience, and the assurance that their literary careers are in reliable hands. We believe in passionate representation, open-minded mediation, and a quality, professional presence in an unpredictable industry.” (Link)

Web Presence:

Wolf Literary Services website.

Publisher's Marketplace page.

What She's Looking For:

Children's picture books, chapter books, middle grade, and young adult. Adult fiction and non-fiction.

From Publisher’s Marketplace:

“Adriann Ranta represents both fiction and non-fiction, and is most interested in realistic, true-to-life stories with conflicts based in the real world. She likes edgy, dark, challenging voices, unique settings, and everyman stories told with a new spin. Her emphasis is narrative nonfiction, approachable pop culture analyses, punchy literary fiction, middle grade, and young adult books.” (Link)

From an Interview (04/2011):

“I love dark, quirky projects that approach classic themes in new, fresh ways. Like, say, witches, only funny and with cheerleaders. I love ghost stories à la ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD, cool sci-fi/steampunk projects like CINDER, I adore smart boy books like OKAY FOR NOW or anything by David Almond. While I’m always looking out for YA and MG, and the occasional author/illustrator for picture books, I also represent adult fiction and non-fiction and I’d love more narrative non-fiction on quirky subjects.” (Link)

From an Interview (04/2011):

“I’d love a great ghost story, a fresh YA romance, a reimagining of a classic boy’s adventure story, some quality kid’s nonfiction… but am open to pleasant surprises too!” (Link)

From an Interview (1/2010):

"I personally enjoy edgier books with quirky, unique protagonists. I love spunky, fresh narrators that show a different view of the world we see every day. I have a hard time with fantasy with no rooting in the real world.

"An engaging voice is crucial in trade non-fiction, and a bizarre topic, new perspective, or unique credibility usually hooks me." (Link –broken)

From an Interview (12/2009):

"WLS as a whole is specializing in children's books (picture books, middle grade, and young adult), but we're both open to adult works as well. I still love gritty mysteries and procedurals, and both Kirsten and I have a penchant for weird/disturbing thrillers and horror stories. Literary fiction is really tough right now, especially in adult, so it would have to be spectacular, but I'm still open to nonfiction as long as it has some fresh, cool angle." (Link –broken)

What She Isn't Looking For:

“She is open to all genres for all age levels, though is not currently considering academic non-fiction, self-help, spiritualism, religion, or sci-fi.” (Link

"Fantasies on weird planets featuring characters with unpronounceable names are a little too much for me—ditto to faeries, ‘chosen ones,’ or sci-fi in general. I'm sick to death of vampires, angels, zombies, and werewolves. I'm open to picture books, but not ones about Jesus. " (Link –broken)

"I love quirky, funny books like ones by Tom Robbins, Christopher Moore and Carl Hiaasen; creepy, un-put-downable mysteries like ones by Tana French, Steig Larsson, and Boris Akunin; groundbreaking young adult books like ones by Sherman Alexie, Cory Doctorow, and Barry Lyga. I'm also a huge fan of Mary Gaitskill, Jonathan Lethem, David Sedaris, Norman Maclean, Junot Diaz ... etc!" (Link –broken)

"There are a lot of aspects of a manuscript that can be fixed through the editing process, but voice seems to be one of those things that you either have or you don’t. If the writing itself is boring, stilted, awkward, unrealistic, or self-conscious I don’t care what it’s about, I can’t read it." (Link –broken)

Her Advice to Writers:

"Read, read, read, read, read! No matter what happens with ebooks, iphone apps, hardcover editions, self-publishing, print-on-demand, or Google, write because you can't live without reading." (Link –broken)

"The representation process is very subjective, which makes personalization and research incredibly important. Sending a manuscript to an agent that pointedly doesn’t represent your genre is a waste of everyone’s time. Be patient, be persistent, be positive-just like any other professional relationship, sometimes random timing is everything. (That was unintentionally alliterative.)" (Link –broken)

Things not to say:

“’The book I’ve written defies comparison or genre.’ ‘I’ve invented my own language, in which I’ve written this high fantasy novel. I’ve included a glossary for your convenience.’ ‘Let’s make some money!’

“Also, query letters that go on and on about the lessons and moral underpinnings of the book, without saying what the friggin’ book is about.” (Link)

Editorial Agent?

Given quotes in her interviews and her editorial background, I believe she is editorial as needed.

"[...] An agent is present in most every aspect of publication (from line-editing a rough manuscript to cover consultation and publicity) so it feels impossible to have a boring day. [...] I still enjoy the editing process, but I find agenting more varied and eventful." (Link –broken)

Kendare Blake, Peter Hoffmeister, Michelle Krys, Daniella Martin, Mindy McGinnis, among others.

As 7/2012, Ms. Ranta is listed on Publisher's Marketplace as having made 6 deals in the last 12 months, 2 six-figure+ deals, and 8 overall.  Recent deals include 1 biography, 1 general, 1 parenting, 2 young adult.

Note:  PM is usually not a complete representation of sales.

Query Methods:

E-mail: Yes (only).

Snail-Mail: No.

Online-Form: No.

Submission Guidelines (always verify):

Send a query letter and the first 50 pages for fiction or a proposal and sample pages for non-fiction. Queries should be directed to queries(at)wolflit(dot)com.

See the Wolf Literary Services website or Ms. Ranta’s Publisher's Marketplace page for complete, up-to-date submission guidelines.

Query Tips:

"The query letter is indescribably important! We do ask for the first 50 pages of the manuscript, but if the query letter doesn’t exhibit the author’s skill as a writer or the hook of the manuscript, there’s no reason to read beyond that pitch letter. The query letter should be the apex of an author’s writing skill." (Link –broken)

Response Times:

The agency only responds if interested. However, Ms. Ranta still tries to respond, usually within a month.

What's the Buzz?

Ms. Ranta has been with Wolf Literary Services since Aug 2009. She is still actively building her client list and most interested in children’s book.

I recommend following her on Twitter @AdriannRanta where you can get a peak at her personality and see some commentary on queries, manuscripts, and more.

  1. Thanks Casey - I love your Spotlights!

  2. Ms. Ranta has reviewed her profile and supplied a current bio and e-mail address for queries.

  3. I'm glad to hear some agents are finally over vampires, zombies, et al. Publishers Lunch is still announcing huge deals on zombie books, but there doesn't seem to be that much new to say about them. I hope publishers will start making room for something new.

  4. Hey Casey,

    I'm always in awe of your agent spotlights. They're a must-read, in my opinion.

    I wanted to let you know I've awarded you the One Lovely Blog award today. Thanks for your blog.

  5. Thank you for another great profile.

  6. I take a 'stroll' every day through Literary Rambles...before I even brush my teeth!! As always a superb source of great info. Congrats 'Our Casey.'You are loved and appreciated by all! Even those of us who live the other side of the Atlantic. Ann Marie

  7. Thanks for the profile, Casey!

    Does Ms. Ranta want the 50 pages in an attachment, or pasted into the email?

  8. Thank you, everyone!

    It doesn't seem to be specified anywhere, so I assume they're not picky about it. If you can, paste it in the body. If your e-mail service won't support that much, I'd include about 10 pages in the body and attach the 50. Best to you!

  9. If I were to wager a guess at why, I’d say that users don’t “browse” forms. The interaction style users engage in with forms is different, and requires its own study and design best practices. This is a very interesting post, and the comments are also fantastic to read. I’ll have poses to have a little re-think about my own contact form on our new website, as this some interesting questions!
    study abroad

  10. (First post) I was fortunate to find this blog about a month ago and look forward to seeing what you have here. It's been a great resource for me and others. Thanks for this one, Casey, as always.

    One question: Is this (Ms Ranta) spotlight supposed to show up on the Agent Spotlight page, because the latest one there is for 3/4/2010. Maybe this is just my computer being cached, but it's actually happening on both computers.

  11. Hi Karen! Thank you for delurking and leaving a comment. Yes, Ms. Ranta's profile is supposed to show up under the Agent Spotlight page. I fixed it. Thank you!

  12. Hey Casey, was doing research on this agent and saw that their website is up now: http://www.wolflit.com/

    Thanks so much for these Agent Spotlights - they're so helpful!

  13. Thank so much, Jennifer! I added the website and updated her sales.

  14. heye me too Ranta...m proud of U...

    Anup Ranta
    India (Shimla)

  15. Thank you so much for posting these. I use your site a lot.

  16. Seriously this girl is so misinformed about the market. I understand being sick of vampires, demons, angels, and zombies. Because, there are a lot of books based around them. But, she lost me at werewolves. Werewolves have not truly been explored. (Yes, they have books.) But not as nearly enough to be sick of them. In fact, Werewolf stories (I'm not talking about them being just added to vampire stories!) are disappearing slowly of the shelves.

    It's because so many vampire books include them, that agents and many reader are confused about the werewolf market.

  17. Anon, I think she is sick of seeing these in her inbox, she wasn't commenting on the market. This goes to her personal tastes.

Finding Wisdom

No one can give another person, wisdom. No one is born with it. It cannot be taught, yet it has been highly prized by most of the world’s major religions and philosophies over millennia. Is wisdom still to be prized and if it is how do we find it? Where and how do we look for wisdom for today and for the future? Are the answers in established religions, in new belief systems, in science or our inner selves?

Betty was our Live Oak Ministerial intern in 2013-2014. She graduated from Meadville Lombard in 2014 and is currently working as a community minister helping to establish the Adult Basic Education program to go along with Live Oak's English as a Second Language program.

Cities Honor Veterans

By Andrew Tellijohn

To Richfield Mayor Debbie Goettel, the opportunity to help veterans fly to the nation’s capital to see the memorials built in honor of their service is a personal thing.

Goettel’s father was a decorated Korean War veteran, who did not live long enough to see the memorial celebrating his service. But Honor Flight, a national nonprofit Goettel and veteran in Washingtonorganization, is helping World War II and other veterans all over the country fly to Washington, D.C., to tour war memorials and other monuments at no cost to the veterans.

While there is no formal tie between the City of Richfield (population 36,000) and Honor Flight Twin Cities, the city supports the efforts of the nonprofit. It’s just one way the city— which last year dedicated a new memorial for all veterans— honors those who have served in the military.

And like Richfield, cities across Minnesota are proud of their veterans. In honor of their great service, cities build monuments, hang pictures, fly flags, provide special services, and more. There’s no doubt city staff and officials have a special place in their hearts for our veterans.

Honor Flight Twin Cities, sponsored by Minnesota Vietnam Veterans Charity, provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many veterans. Richfield city officials get involved by writing letters to Honor Flight participants. The veterans receive these and other letters at “roll call” at the beginning of each Honor Flight trip—just like the roll call when they served during the war.

The city promotes the Honor Flight program at events and helps reach out to local veterans to make sure they are aware of the program. “Richfield as a city is really trying to promote this and see as many World War II vets go as possible,” Goettel says.

Long day of sightseeing
For each Honor Flight trip, the soldiers and escorts arrive in D.C., and are transported to their first monument by 8:30 a.m. They visit all the city’s memorials throughout the day, with meals in between, and are honored by Boy Scouts, musicians playing “Taps,” and others who thank them for their service at every stop. They return home the same evening.

The highlight of the trip is the sprawling World War II Memorial, Goettel says. “For many, this is the only time they see [the memorials].”

Goettel served as an escort in 2012 for two Richfield men. She’d like to do so again. In the meantime, she’s going to continue promoting the program to help see as many locals get to Washington as possible.

“It was wonderfully impactful to hear their stories about how their lives went,” she says, adding that some were uplifting while others had clearly struggled when they returned from the war. The memorial “can be a place to put some things to rest,” she says.

Duluth’s honor flight involvement
Honor Flight is a 9-year-old organization with hubs nationwide. In addition to the Twin Cities hub, Minnesota also has a hub in Duluth, called Honor Flight Northland, which sends vets from northern Minnesota and Wisconsin on the same trip. That group has taken six trips and is planning for its seventh, says board member Karin Swor.

Duluth (population 86,000) is an active veterans community, Swor says, and local citizens and news stations have been helpful about getting publicity out for the event. Like Goettel, Swor also does this work for her dad.

“I do it in his memory,” she says. “I never did get him to Washington.”

Daniel Fanning, communications and policy director in the office of Duluth Mayor Don Ness, says he and other city officials “have been supportive of the effort, both as city staff and fellow veterans.” But he gives credit for the program’s success to Swor and the rest of the Honor Flight volunteers.

“It’s quite a process, and they’ve done an outstanding job,” he says.

Vet-friendly Montevideo
In Montevideo (population 5,300), honoring veterans means taking care of their daily needs. The city teamed up with the Montevideo Area Chamber of Commerce and the local Veterans Service Office to create its Veterans Friendly Community (VFC) program.

Through the program, veterans receive services, discounts, and other assistance to ensure all their basic necessities are met. The vision statement of the program is: “We envision a community where our veterans can live in affordable housing, have good jobs and raise families, have access to health care [and] senior services, and can live out their lives in peace.”

The VFC program encourages businesses to offer discounts and services to make life easier for the 30,000 area veterans. The businesses that do this are designated a “Veterans Friendly Place,” earning mention in the VFC newsletter and the right to use official program signs.

The importance of the military to the area is frequently visible, says City Manager Steve Jones. Montevideo is headquarters for the Minnesota National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 15th Field Artillery, which was active in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, the Veterans Service Office is located in Montevideo, and the city partnered with Chippewa County to build a VA clinic in 2002. Next it has plans to build a veterans home. “It’s very important to us,” says Jones.

“People are always looking for things that we can do to support our veterans.”

Cleveland attracts Moving Wall
The City of Cleveland (population 717) will honor local veterans this summer by bringing to town a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

The Moving Wall is a traveling replica that has visited every state. Cleveland is expecting 20,000 visitors during the showing July 24-28. “It’s a big deal for the whole county,” says Cleveland Mayor Richard Walter.

Walter sent in a request to host the Moving Wall about three years ago, which earned the city a place on the waiting list. He received notice in February that Cleveland had been selected.

The city and the local Vietnam Veterans Last Man’s Club are sponsoring the event, but a memorial committee has been seeking grants and has gotten donations of time and money to cover expenses from several area businesses, schools, and civic groups, Walter says.

It’s a moving remembrance for Walter and other area veterans, many of whom lost several friends during the war. “It’s an emotional thing,” he says. “It’s a healing process.”

Many initiatives in Montgomery
In Montgomery (population 3,000), the city has been supportive of several initiatives brought forth by the local American Legion and Vietnam veteran John Grimm.

While visiting his hometown of Wautoma, Wisconsin, a few years ago, Grimm toured a veterans memorial building. The foyer was lined with framed pictures of veterans. John Grimm He returned to Montgomery, where he has lived since 1992, with a plan to create a similar memorial. Now there are more than 200 pictures of local veterans displayed in about two dozen buildings around town.

The city also agreed when Grimm proposed an avenue of flags, which has since been named Veterans Memorial Way. In addition, the city has a massive 70-foot flagpole that flies a 20-by-30-foot flag at Frandsen Bank & Trust, along with Veterans Memorial Park, a joint effort of the American Legion, the VFW, the Boy Scouts, and other community members. The memorial in the park features 315 engraved pavers that honor living and deceased veterans.

Grimm says the city has been great to work with throughout these projects. “They’ve been very cooperative,” he says. “It’s spectacular.”

“As the wife of a Vietnam veteran, being part of the dedication of Veterans Memorial Park was one of my proudest moments as mayor and as a resident of the city,” says Montgomery Mayor Jean Keogh, who adds that these initiatives have drawn visitors to the community and caused a surged in community pride at a time when morale needed a boost.

Montgomery also has a Memorial Day program that starts with church services and includes a program at the American Legion during which a “roll call” is read honoring those who served and died. City, VFW, and American Legion officials also sponsor the Le Sueur County Veterans Van, which is used to transport vets to medical appointments.

“We can never forget [the veterans’] loyalty and dedication to the nation,” Keogh says. “This is our way of remembering. We owe them for all the freedoms we enjoy.”
