Jaguar XF – Car B

The Jaguar XF is the perfect contemporary luxury wedding car. It is sleek, powerful and a little bit different. Arrive in a Jaguar XF and you will certainly get noticed.

We have two identical (white) Jaguars XF in our fleet.

Rental Fee

The rental cost for this car will depend on the distances and to be travelled and the selected options (personalised number plates, champagne & strawberries, additional decorations). The rental fee includes a chauffeur as well as standard car decorations (ribbons, rosettes, flowers ). Please call our office to check the availability and the final rental cost of this car before booking.

Depending on your age, there are a number of images that spring to mind when you mention a Jaguar. The ’50s and ’60s Jaguars were the preserve of bad boys – the bank robbers, the Kray twins, the Jaguar of that era was a perfect getaway car.

In the ’70s and ’80s, the car lost its cool appeal. It was the car preferred by antique dealers and middle-aged guys in golfing/boating gear that never went boating or golfing. Fortunately, the new Jaguars have returned to their bad boy roots. They are simply awesome.

The Jaguar XF distinguishes itself from its rivals, such as BMW 5 Series, by placing great emphasis on styling, both inside and out.

The cabin boasts plush leather upholstery, genuine wood trim, heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a sunroof, 250-watt, 10-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo with iPod and USB ports, a seven-inch touchscreen display and Bluetooth smartphone connectivity with audio streaming. The attention to detail is simply unbelievable.

Due to its sporty and classy appearance, Jaguar XF is frequently used as the car for the Groom and the Best Men.  Alternatively, our two identical Jaguar XFs would be suited for bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Need Help, Used Car Dealer, Small Claims?

I'll try to keep short again. Year ago I bought a used VW, car ran good, then timing chain broke and bent valves, car quit, wouldn't move no more. Dealer said he would try to fix, only if I sign goodwill agreemnt first. Goodwill said, no guarantee fix will work, car still AS-IS, may be damaged while fixing, he not paying for rental or hotel. Month later car running good. He offer to fix wipers because rubber gone and scratching glass, but I need sign first, so that fixed too. He said that since I had no car that month, he would give it to me free, and gave me a receipt on a payment I did not make. Unlike before, he didn't get my signature on this, we didn't have this agreement, but he did it anyway. FTC says you can sue a dealer for fraud or misrepresentation. I have evidence that he misrepresented my payment. Clerk at court gave me papers to fill out, says I can sue for damages (1X) + punitive damages (3X), for a total of 4X. But what do I sue for, just the payment $420 X4 = $1680? Or the whole thing, $8,700 X4 = 34800? I'm in Nevada, small claims max is 10k, anything more go to arbitration because I signed agreement, but I want more than 1680. How do I do that? I dont need grief, just help, please help

Dealer did not put payment in computer to let others know that the month paid for, it's a one man business, some young guy doing it all on his own, his own fixes, books, everything, so he doesn't need to make a note for his coworkers he dont have any, but he still misrepresented my payment anyways, FTC says thats misrepresenation is fraud, and I can sue

Update 2:

I'm not an idiot, I'm not a baffoon, and I'm not a piece of work, I don't need name calling, I said no grief, I just need help

Update 3:

I am aware that I asked this question before, but nobody helped

    There's good news, and bad news.

    First the good news... Your compensatory damages does not necessarily have to be limited to "economic damages" or "compensatory damages", such as the value of your payment, but may also include "non-economic damages", such as mental or emotional anguish, loss of compansionship (such as a strained marriage because your spouse got the idea that you can't pay your bills), inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, injury to reputation, etc...  The punitive damages that you mentioned earlier are often referred to as "Exemplary Damages", which is a pentalty that is not for compensatory purposes, but intended to act as a deterrent to prevent future violations.   Exemplary damages are usually only permitted if the injurious act by the seller was performed either knowingly or intentionally.  The suit may also seek court costs and attorney fees, as well as interest.

    Now the bad news...

    When a dealer (or any merchant) for that matter is sued for misrepresentation or for defrauding a consumer, it is typically a violation of the state's "Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act."  I believe that every state has such a law in effect.  I operate in Texas, and here it is called the "Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Protection Act (DTPA)."  DTPAs can vary from one state to the next, so while they are generally similar, what applies in Texas may not apply to you.  Under the Texas DTPA, a merchant (such as a used car dealer) may be sued if the merchant:

    1) - Breaches a Warranty - such as Implied or Express warranties

    2) - Commits an Unconscionable Act - Taking advantage of a consumer's lack of capacity (ex. selling a Ford Pinto for a million dollars to someone who has alzheimers)

    3) - Any False, Misleading or Deceptive Act - This list is quite extensive, so I hope this part is self explanatory.  But in general, it is an act that the consumer relies upon which is found by the court to be detrimental to the consumer.

    Obviously, you are not suing due to a Warranty concern (1), nor because you lack mental capacity (2), so that leaves False, Misleading or Deceptive Acts (3).  A quick review of part 3 is that the seller must of acted in a manner that the court finds to be detrimental to the consumer.  While the dealer may have misrepresented your payment, you must consider, what is the probability that the court will find that the dealer's misrepresentation of your payment was detrimental to you?  In my opinion, the odds are very low.

    What I'm saying is, your complaint doesn't fall under part 1, 2 or 3.  The DTPA doesn't cover your complaint at all.  Even if it did, I believe that most states require that the consumer send a registered or certified letter of written notice informing the seller of the complaint as well as the proposed remedy (such as monetary compensation).  The seller must then pay you the compensation that you asked with in a certain time frame (in Texas it is 60 days), if the seller fails to do so, only then may the suit be filed.  You didn't mention that, so I'll assume that you may have skipped that step.  Keep in mind that should you proceed with the lawsuit, and the court deems it to be frivolous, then the seller could also seek compensation for any damages that your suit may have caused, such as the economic and non-economic damages that I discussed at the start of my answer, as well as court costs and attorney fees, and interest.  The dealer could potentially seek exemplary damages.  You could raise the defense of "I acted in good faith and did not knowingly or intentionally file a frivolous lawsuit", but if you spoke about this to any friends or family and the dealer knows about it, and gets someone to testify that you knew that this suit was going nowhere, expect your judgement to be multiplied by 3X for exemplary damages.

    You should have refused to sign anything

  • 1 year ago

    Of course you can sue. You can sue you neighbor for having bad hair if you wish.

    Will you win? Doubtful. What exactly are you suing for? One payment that was "misrepresented"? This would be a COMPLETELY different case set aside from the car's issues. The judge would dismiss the issues with the vehicle in a heartbeat. You won't receive one cent for your hotel, rentals, etc. Any used vehicle is "as-is" unless noted to the contrary in writing. Do you have paperwork stating they would pay for everything in the event of a fix? From what you wrote, the dealer did everything to help fix the vehicle after point-of-sale in good faith. No law forced him to help you. He could've legally told you to take a hike.

    You keep saying "FTC says this, FTC says that"... nobody at the FTC is going to advise you on pre-court matters over the phone or in person. You can infer what you wish off their website.

    Your lucky he will even try to fix it. He had no way of knowing the timing would brake. This does happen, but is not all that normal a thing, if the values stems bent as a result. Any repair is a 50/50 deal. Small claims, MITE work; but I don't think it will be of any help.

    So you're asking if you should and what you should sue a person that did all they could to help you out and keep you as a customer. They even gave you a free month's worth of credit that you never have to pay on the car because they felt bad for your situation. And you want to turn around and sue them. You're a jerk! You want to stab someone in the back for helping you.

    Shame on anyone who "helps" you with this. And shame on you.

    You're confusing "nobody helped" with "nobody gave me the answer I wanted to hear". Sorry, but you've been told time and time again you have no case. The fact that you refuse to hear the truth doesn't change that fact.

    Dealer did far more than he had to. You would lose in court...quickly and decisively. Absurd to even consider it.  Your chances of proving misrepresentation are very low. But you can sue. It costs money and you will lose. It seems you are a slow learner. So go ahead & sue. Please. Then you will see.

    Let it go.  I think the dealer has been kind enough to even talk to you, much more fixing the car.  NO used car dealer will fix a car with a broken timing chain FOR FREE.

    The ink has dried up in the pint head nozzles. If it is an older HP or Lexmark printer you might be in luck as the print head was part of the ink cartridge and you get a new one with every new cartridge. Most other brands and newer printers have a separate print head that is too expensive to replace and the printer is likely trash.

How to Survive Your First Time in a Hostel | Ummi Goes Where?

Like it or not, staying in hostels is part and parcel of solo traveling, especially if you’re on a tight budget. For solo travelers, hotels can be a terribly expensive option because most of them don’t accommodate single guests, so you end up having to pay for two.

I find this to be a ridiculous way to spend my money. Plus, when I’m out exploring a new place, I spend most of my time outside. It doesn’t make sense to fork out so much for a room when I’m only going to spend a few hours in it. That money can better be spent on trying new food and experiences.

But apart from being a cheaper alternative to hotels, hostels offer something that hotels don’t: the opportunity to make friends with other guests. Although solo traveling does come with its perks (i.e. peace and solitude), sometimes it does get lonely out there, and you might crave for some meaningful conversations.

Me in a hostel in Hanoi in 2011

How to Choose a Hostel

In the old days (or at least, before I discovered online booking apps), I used to arrive at my destinations without any booking and simply hope for the best. Now, most accommodation providers are listed on online apps, so not only can you make reservations online, you can also compare their ratings, read reviews, and even see the rooms months before your trip.

The best websites for booking hostels are:

Read the hostel descriptions carefully. Better yet, read the reviews left by previous guests. They will give you a clearer insight on a particular place. But do bear in mind that what is right for others may not be right for you. So, the most important thing is to trust your gut and go with what suits you best.

Here are a few things to consider when choosing a hostel:

Hostels are usually centrally-located because their target market is the backpacker crowd who most likely won’t want to spend much on transportation. But this is not always the case. So, be sure to check. What’s the point of saving a few bucks on accommodation if you have to spend on taxis to get to and from the hostel? Most booking sites allow you to filter your search result based on location or distance from the city center. Other questions you might want to ask are: Is it located in a safe area of town? Is it safe if you arrive after dark?

Obviously, this will be one of the determining factors in choosing a place to stay. Be wary of offers that may seem too good to be true. If a particular hostel is much cheaper than its competitors in the same area, find out why. How many people will you be sharing the room with? Does the price include breakfast? Do you have to pay extra for towels and bed sheets? Do they offer refunds if you cancel the booking? Generally, cheaper hostels require you to pay in advance and don’t allow free cancellation. If you’re okay with the prepayment policy and can do without all the extras, you can save  yourself a lot of money.

Type of Hostel

Not all hostels are created equal. This is not to say that some are better than the others. It all boils down to what you like. Some hostels are geared for young and party-loving people, while some offer a more peaceful ambiance. Some are family-run hostels while some are owned by professional chains. Professional chains tend to adhere to a higher standard of service/facilities, but they may feel impersonal. On the other hand, family-run hostels may feel cozier, but you probably have to share the communal space with their children and/or pets.

Type of Rooms

In general, hostels refer to dormitories with bunk beds, but some may have single beds instead. The number of people in each room varies, from 4 to 20, or maybe more. Some hostels do have private rooms with either en-suite or shared bathrooms. Some offer female-only or male-only rooms. Some are capsules/pods (not for the claustrophobic!). Pick the one that suits your needs and budget.

As independent traveling becomes more popular, sanitary standards in most hostels are steadily increasing, but some parts of the world may not have caught up just yet. We sometimes hear stories of dirty toilets or bedbug infestation.
This is where the reviews come in handy. Personally, in my 10 years of traveling, I’ve never experienced bedbugs in hostels. But as a rule of thumb, if you’d like to check whether the place has them, look at the mattress, especially at the corners. Bedbugs leave egg shells, shed skin, and fecal stains, which look something like this:

Facilities & Services
Now that we’ve got the basics covered, check to see if they also offer any additional services and facilities (whichever applies to your needs):
  • 24-hour reception, in case your flight arrives late.
  • Late check-out option
  • Personal lockers in dorm rooms
  • Luggage storage
  • Fan, A/C, or heater
  • Laundry facilities (self-service or otherwise)
  • Shared kitchen (useful for cutting down on food expenses if you’re traveling for a long period)

  • In-house restaurant, cafe, or pub
  • Free breakfast or welcome drinks (I know a hostel that offers free beer every night!)
  • Linens and towels
  • Lounges/communal areas
  • Swimming pool
  • Car/motorbike/bicycle rental
  • Free parking
  • Free WiFi
  • Airport transfer
  • Tours and activities

What to Pack

Packing for hostels is going to be slightly different from packing for hotels. For instance, hostels won’t provide you with fancy little toiletries or toothbrush kits if you forgot to bring yours. So, to avoid having to buy them when you get there, make sure you bring your own supply. These are the extra things you need to pack if you plan to stay in hostels:

  • Toiletries – Some hostel bathrooms might have shampoo and shower-foam dispensers, but don’t count on this. Always bring your own.
  • Toiletry bag – Preferably a waterproof one with a hook or strap that you can hang on the bathroom door.
  • Towel – Very rarely do hostels provide towels for free, so always remember to bring your own. I recommend micro-fiber travel towels. They dry quickly and don’t take much space.
  • Sarong – Some hostels don’t provide blankets or bed sheets. If you feel uncomfortable sleeping on a bare mattress, use a sarong instead. A sarong is a multi-purpose travel accessory. It can double as a towel, scarf, skirt, picnic mat, and tote bag. Note: If you’re traveling in cold weather and staying in very basic hostels with no heating system, you might also want to bring a sleeping bag.
  • Padlock – Although most good hostels provide locker facilities, not all of them also provide padlocks. In any case, you might feel more confident using your own. The padlocks can also be used on your luggage or on your bedroom door if you’re staying in a private room.
  • Money belt – A money belt is a good option if you don’t want to leave your valuables in the locker when you sleep or go to the bathroom. It can be worn discreetly under your shirt.
  • Earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones – Sharing a room with 10 other people can be noisy. Even if they’re not talking or deliberately making noise, some of them might snore. Some might have to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, or leave very early in the morning. Some might toss and turn all night long. If you’re a light sleeper, be sure to pack earplugs or noise-canceling headphones to help you sleep better.
  • Eye mask – Hostels usually practice a lights-off policy at night. But if you need to go to bed early or wake up late, pack an eye mask for your own comfort. It can also be used on flights or bus/train rides.
  • Flip-flops – This is a personal preference, but I don’t quite like the idea of going barefoot in communal bathrooms. So, I always bring a pair. It’s the best footwear for tropical weather anyway.

Is It Safe?

Without a doubt, safety is a major concern for anyone traveling solo, especially as a female. We are often told not to trust strangers, and not to talk to them, let alone spend the night with them in the same room! So, it’s perfectly understandable how fear for your safety can stop you from staying in hostels.

Personally though, I feel safer sharing a room with 10 other people than staying alone in a hotel room or an apartment. Because think about it — what is the likelihood of everyone in the dormitory being thieves or sexual predators? Even if one of them has bad intentions, the fact that there are other people in the room will surely deter them from trying anything funny on you. And with that many people around, it’s also easier for you to seek help if you somehow find yourself in an uncomfortable situation.

That said, one can never be too careful. The following are safety precautions you can take when staying in a hostel:

  • Research the location – As mentioned previously, when choosing a hostel, always research the location. Google which areas to avoid in the city you’re visiting. Read the reviews to see if anyone has ever complained of feeling unsafe when walking around the hostel at night. Hostels are usually not as prominently situated as big hotels. Some may be hidden in back alleys or in dodgy areas.
  • Pair up with another guest – Try to find someone you trust and look out for each other. Talk to him/her if there’s a safety issue you feel concerned about.
  • Learn to say no – It’s typical for hostel guests to go out for dinner, drinks, or sightseeing together. But don’t feel obliged to go out with a roommate if he/she makes you feel uncomfortable. Learn to say no politely but firmly.

  • Opt for female-only rooms – If sharing a room with men makes you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in any way, try to look for hostels that have female-only rooms. However, these are usually more expensive and are not always available.
  • Leave your valuables at home – This applies to all travelers, regardless of where you choose to stay. Logically speaking, the more valuables you bring with you on your travels, the higher the risk of you losing them or getting them stolen. You don’t want to spend the most part of your trip worrying about your stuff. Of course, you can use the lockers provided in hostels, but if you don’t trust these either, better spare yourself the stress and leave the unnecessary valuables at home.
  • Trust your gut – If you feel threatened or harassed by another guest, do not hesitate to let the hostel management know. Switch rooms if you have to, or move to another hostel. Don’t worry about cancellation fees. Ultimately, your safety should come first.

What if You're an Introvert?

Many people stay in hostels to meet other travelers. But it can be intimidating to walk into a room full of strangers and be expected to make friends with everyone. Being a social-phobic introvert myself, I can totally relate to this. So, how do you make your hostel stay a little less awkward? This is my tried and tested trick:

The moment you see someone new, smile and say hi immediately. You don’t have to ask or say anything else. Just say hi, but do it as soon as you can. The longer you wait, the more awkward it will be. Once you get that out of the way, you can continue doing whatever you were doing. If they want to know more about you, let them ask the questions and take it from there. Chances are, some of them might feel as nervous as you are, and are glad that you made the first move to talk to them.

But what if you just don’t feel like talking? I get it. We need our downtime to recharge after a long day of socializing. The good thing is that many hostel beds have curtains to give you a semblance of privacy. Have a book with you in public places and read. Most of the time, people will get the hint and leave you alone.

What if You're a Mature Traveler?

At the mention of hostels, one might picture a place full of 20-somethings wanting to get drunk and have fun. While this is often true, it doesn’t mean that there are no older travelers staying in hostels. It also doesn’t mean that all young travelers are loud and boisterous.

Of course, there are youth hostels that don’t welcome people over 35. There are also ‘party hostels’ with a bar and loud music that goes on till the wee hours. But you don’t have to stay in those if you don’t want to. Avoid hostels with keywords like “fun”, “social”, or “party” in their descriptions, unless you’re into partying. There’s no age limit to that!

If you’re self-conscious about how you look in comparison to the youngsters, rest assured that the only person who cares about how your body looks is you. I have shared a room with people over 50 and I never spent my time staring at or thinking about their imperfections. I have my own insecurities and body-image problems to deal with.

If anything, I actually enjoyed talking to them. And as you make friends with younger travelers, you might also be pleasantly surprised by how mature and well-traveled some young people are. We can all learn from each other. Click here to read an article by Leyla from Women on the Road who wrote about staying in hostels as a 60-something traveler.

Coping with Your Roommates

For those of you who have never had to share a room with anyone, staying in a hostel can be a bit of a culture shock. You might discover that not everyone shares your ideals when it comes to cleanliness, privacy, or personal space.

Therefore, treat it as a lesson in patience and tolerance. Hostels attract all sorts of people from all walks of life. They probably don’t mean to annoy you. Sometimes, it could just be differences in culture and upbringing. Try to keep an open mind and be more forgiving.

However, if they make you feel really uncomfortable, you should say something about it, but do so diplomatically. When all else fails, talk to the hostel staff and see if they could resolve the matter with the offending party or move you to another room.

Don't Be That Person

In return, you should also do your part and observe the dos and don’ts in a hostel. They’re pretty much common sense, but we all could do with a little reminder. Sometimes, we are simply unaware that what is normal to us might be irritating to others. Don’t be that person that other people dread sharing a room with.

  • Do not take anything that’s not yours. This should go without saying, but if it’s your first time staying in a hostel, I imagine it can be confusing to figure out which one is shared property, and which one is not. A tube of toothpaste left on the sink? A jar of marmalade in the fridge? Some hostels do provide food for guests, so how can you tell? Well, if you’re not sure, just ask.
  • Hostel amenities are meant to be shared, and oftentimes, there are not enough for everyone. If there’s a limited number of power sockets, for example, or a limited supply of hot water in the bathroom, do not hog. Give others the chance to use it too.
  • Keep quiet at night. Wear earphones to listen to music or watch a video, and leave the room if you need to talk on the phone or have a messenger conversation with sounds.
  • Pack the day before if you have an early-morning departure. You have no idea how irritating it can be to hear someone packing in the middle of the night, especially if they use a lot of plastic bags.
  • Do not turn on the lights if you come in late at night or wake up very early in the morning. Use the torchlight on your phone instead.
  • Keep your belongings on your bed, or within a respectable radius. Make sure they don’t block the way or become a trip hazard to other people. If you get the bottom bunk, don’t put anything on the ladder.

  • Clean up after yourself, in the room, in the common areas, and in the bathroom. Everywhere, basically. For as long as you’re alive.
  • Follow hostel rules. Usually, these rules are relayed to you upon check-in. Some hostels might have curfews or a set time when you have to turn the lights off. Some might ask you to leave the room during certain hours of the day while they do housekeeping. A common hostel rule is to not bring visitors. Do not wear shoes if you’re not allowed to. Do not bring smelly food. Most hostels with dining areas don’t allow food to be consumed in the dormitories.

In a Nutshell

Hostels are intimidating — I, of all people, should know that. I’m an only child, therefore not used to sharing my space and my stuff with anyone. And many times, my social phobia gets the better of me.

Despite all that, when I’m traveling, I always favor hostels, not only because they are cheap (although that’s the main reason), but also because they get me out of my comfort zone and force me to meet people. I have to admit that my trips are much more meaningful when I get to connect with others, be it the locals or other travelers.

So, I will overlook the minor discomforts of staying in hostels because I think the pros far outweigh the cons.

      Hahah, ya, staying in hostels is not for everyone. It’s good that you’re being considerate of others and not hogging communal space. 🙂

  7. Kitkat Nelfei

    Very insightful entry about staying at hostel.. Maybe next time i will try this again 🙂 To be honest, it is an interesting experience when I travel alone last time in England and all the points you highlighted are true and valid tho! That give peace of mind to us and others too..

    • ummi

      Thank you, Kitkat. I imagine it must be interesting to stay in hostels in England, especially if it’s your first time discovering hostels. Maybe you should try it again next time!

    • ummi

      Awesome, Rane! Sharing a room with strangers may sound scary to those who have never tried it, but it’s actually not that bad, and quite fun.

144: “False Jesii Part 2” by Pissed Jeans

Pissed Jeans. Clever as the wind.One of the greatest videos I’ve seen in a while.  This song is a departure for the site.  I doubt I would listen to this music without watching the video.  It is funny, but it requires a certain type of energy, a certain frequency at which I rarely vibrate.  And no, this is not funk music.  It’s funky like a rotting banana, but in a good way(?).

It’s another Subpop artist, Pissed Jeans.  They’re punk, but they have a Wikipedia entry, so they’re not THAT punk.  By the way, Subpop doesn’t pay me, despite this being the third post of a Subpop artist lately.  Everything on this site is a labor of love, at least until someone offers to pay me, then I might just whore the site out.  But for now it’s totally pure.  Pure as the driven snow.

So put on your most blasé face and enjoy.

Song: False Jesii Part 2

3 things your book needs to be before you send it to an agent (and 1 it doesn’t!)

I’ve spoken quite a lot about the submission process on the blog. It’s a terrifying and exciting part of the writing journey. Deciding your novel is ready to send out to agents isn’t easy. You’ll always doubt yourself. That’s why I’m sharing three things your novel needs to be before you submit, and one it doesn’t.

3 things your book needs to be before you send it to an agent:

The very first thing your manuscript needs to be, is finished. Most agents/publishers ask for the first three chapters in a submission, so it can be tempting to send those out right away. But if you receive a full request, and you’ve not finished writing your novel, you may well lose that opportunity. Not only that, but knowing how your story progresses and ends will have a huge impact on those early chapters.
Untitled design (55)

There is no novel in the world that has been published without being edited. (If I’m wrong on this, do comment below as I’d be so interested!) Sure, if you land an agent, your next step will be to get an editor, but that doesn’t mean you can get away with sending the first draft in your submission. You need to edit. And, probably, more than once. You’ll need to check the spelling and grammar, fix plot holes, sow the seeds of foreshadowing and ensure you have consistency throughout.
Untitled design (56)

Read by someone else
Perhaps not the most essential thing, but in my opinion, the agent/publisher you submit to, shouldn’t be the first person to read your book. Seek feedback from friends and family or, even better, a beta reader or critique partner. Ask for honest comments. A fresh pair of eyes will spot mistakes you missed, will pick up on any part of the novel that is confusing or makes no sense. They’ll also be able to tell you if it was enjoyable, if the twist at the end surprised them or if it was too obvious. This feedback will likely breed whole new rounds of editing, but your book will be stronger for it!
Untitled design (57)

1 thing your book doesn’t need to be before you send it to an agent:

Friendly reminder; your book doesn’t need to be perfect. Not-so-friendly reminder; your book will never be perfect. Not to everybody who reads it anyway. Every 5 star rated book will have 1 star ratings. People enjoy different things, and perfection is impossible. As much as editing is important, it can reach a point where you’re so focused on making your story perfect, you never get round to submitting it at all. At some point, you need to accept it’s at the best you can do, and just go for it. Agents aren’t looking for perfect. They’re looking for great writing, compelling plot, and vibrant characters.

Does anyone have anything they’d add to this list? If yes, drop your advice in the comments below.

  1. Thanks for saying “Every 5 star rated book will have 1 star ratings.” That’s exactly what happened to my latest book (one 2-star and five 5-star ratings). The problem was that the 2-star one came first, and caused me distress until the others appeared.

  2. Yes, I’ve come across a few books that went to publish without any professional editing. Most of the ratings highlighted it. I also had to teach myself that there is only so much editing I can do before finally releasing a book to my editor.

  3. Would you recommend getting a book professionally edited/ proofread before sending to agents? It’s expensive, hence why I’ve never done it, but I think it’s sometimes hard to spot errors in our own work

    Liked by 1 person

    1. I think it’s up to the individual, but most agent talks I’ve attended say it isn’t essential. They tend to understand that your work will need editorial input at some point, and so if they like your pitch and your story enough, they won’t mind. Self editing to the best you can is the way to go, especially due to the expense of it all. If you really wanted to and can afford to, I’m sure it’s an incredible learning experience though! ❤ x

Make A Mortarless Stone Retaining Wall

Landscaping can be a quite difficult factor if you are not feeling inspired. Believe of 1 large stone getting hit by an additional massive stone, in a rock slide, an explosion or a seismic event. These smaller sized retaining walls are even then filled with mud to make raised flower beds or even make a fountain region subsequent to the patio or the entryway. Points like hand prints and dates can be set in the concrete to add to the beauty of it. Wood and stone can be built up exactly where the retaining wall is supposed to be going.

If your wall is 2 feet higher, 1-1/two feet wide, and 20 feet extended, you’ll will need roughly 60 cubic feet of stone. This will give you a nice flat surface to develop the rest of the wall on. You can use modest rocks to shim the stone so that it sits the way you want it. Each three or 4 feet, lay a tie-back stone (flat, extended and heavy) to provide extra stability.

These walls are generally created of concrete and they are constructed by placing forms in the designated region and then pouring in the concrete. If you are cleaning a stone retaining wall, invest in some qualified-grade degreaser, and place it directly into the reservoir in your garden hose sprayer. Walls over 4 ft. tall must be designed by a licensed engineer to assure sufficient strength. Pros can make greater stone walls, but normally they call for engineering knowledge.

Then continue each and every course, alternating the starting block between a half stone and complete stone. Gravel and rocks can be applied efficiently to hold water from operating directly into walls. Building two or much more little walls also could be less difficult on your back since you don’t have to lift the stone, block, or timbers also higher, or set up staging. Even the most desirable retaining wall can lose its charm if the wall is also massive for its surroundings. Procuring the suitable components can make a big distinction in the effectiveness of the retaining wall.

Some of the much more common types are constructed with stones and/or concrete, but some persons are getting truly inventive with the items they are using for their retaining walls. Even though fading in reputation, wood walls complement some yards and homes, specifically if the household has a rustic look (such as stained wood and stone). Stone walls fall into three principal varieties: rubble wall, cut stone and boulder walls.

Assignment | Informative Speech (Reinwald): Getting Started

SPCH 1315 | Prof. Reinwald

Your assignment notes that you are sharing "information with others to enhance their knowledge or understanding of concepts and ideas."  First, you will need to make your topic interesting to your audience and rethink and challenge any preconceived ideas you had about it. Second, you will need to be able to explain a complex topic in a way that your audience understands.

In order to do this, you will need to include a minimum of 3 main points with strong supporting materials and appropriately use oral citations throughout your speech. This guide will assist you in locating credible sources that related to your specific topic.

Narrowing Your Topic

Organize Your Thoughts with a Mind Map

Mind maps are a great tool to help you organize your thoughts and see new information or connections that you might not have previously been aware of.  As you develop your mind map, narrow your topic down from a broad topic to a specific research question. You will use this research question, and the keywords you've identified on your mind map, to search the library databases for resources.  As you utilize the research databases, continue to fill in information on your mind map to help you see if there are gaps in your research that you need to address.

Mind Map Process

Start off with your overall central topic: in this example, we're starting with Game of Thrones. What can you think of about that show? It's in the fantasy genre, it's adapted from a book series, it had a huge cast, it won awards, people liked (except when they didn't), it had highly-quality set design (except when it didn't)... and on and on.

You're trying to accumulate lots of ideas at this point! Big picture. Make connections, and write whatever comes to mind. When you start getting stuck, turn to Google, Credo Reference, and/or Wikipedia to get more ideas.

Once you've filled out the map of your topic a bit, look at where you have the most ideas: this is probably the strongest aspect of your topic, and what you should focus your research on.

All those other ideas? We're not going to use them. We want to deeply explore one narrow aspect of the big topic, not try to talk about everything to do with the big topic ever. (That's the job of probably a multi-volume book, not a short essay!)

It's important to still go through this process, though, even if we aren't using most of the ideas, because a) we have to see all this to figure out which thing we're targeting, and b) it still gives us context for how we actually understand the overall topic -- everything is connected! Plus, if we decide we hate our chosen topic, we can come back to drawing board and go another direction easily.

This end result of our mind map is the research topic we'd look into further for the paper: how the costumes were designed for the show and how they were used to reinforce aspects of the fictional cultures displayed. Now we can start targeting our research to just those aspects, either for the show in particular (probably web and news articles), but also more general resources about costume design that we can apply to what we've seen here.

Book International Flight Tickets & Save Up To Rs. 20,000

People, who have a passion to travel, explore new lands and visit important tourist destinations always try to find cheap international flights. 3.3.4 Please be aware that while some types of changes will not result in a change of fare, others, such as changing the place of departure (for example if you do not fly the first segment) or reversing the direction you travel, can result in an increase in price.

While many of the major legacy airlines (United, Air France, etc.) will charge more for booking one-way legs versus a roundtrip ticket, a rising number of low-cost carriers offer cheap one-way flights that are roughly half the cost of a roundtrip ticket.

Generally speaking, if you can fly an Asian airline to Asia (first-tierâ€ carriers like ANA, Cathay Pacific and Japan Airlines are the very best) or a European Airline (at least ones like Lufthansa and SWISS) to Europe it’s a better bet, and might even be worth paying a little extra.

Skyteam includes China Southern Airlines, Air France, AeromÃƒÂ©xico, Alitalia, China Airlines (Taiwan), Delta Air Lines, Shanghai Airlines, Korean Air, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Kenya Airways, China Eastern Airlines, Northwest Airlines, CSA Czech Airlines, Tarom Romanian Airlines, Aeroflot Russian Airlines, Air Europa, Vietnam Airlines.

Where you have a medical condition which you have any reason to suspect, or ought reasonably to know, might be exacerbated by the normal operation of an aircraft or could cause you difficulty if you are unable to gain access before the end of your flight to professional medical assistance you are obliged to seek professional medical advice before flying with us and produce to us, no later than 48 hours before the flight, a medical report from an appropriately qualified doctor, dated no more than 10 days before the date of your flight, confirming your fitness to travel on all flights on which you are booked.
