There Holds a ground why I took all those theater and oral presentation families, you cognize: I am much more comfy as a author than I am as a talker, and I prefer holding some clip to reflect on my ideas and feelings before I assay to joint them. In point of fact, I usually ask three or four years to piece a cogent, informed response. Naturally, by so, someone else who is swifter of address holds vanquished me to the laugh line, ofttimes with believable rootage and footers, additionally.

I Holded been ruminating a couple of things over the weekend, inquiring how I desired to react, coming upwardly short. And so today a workfellow directed me the word about The Huffington Station 's
new book characteristic, The Watering Hole
Here Holds the money quote:

People who believe books are dying make n't understand the powerfulness of thoughts to invigorate. And people who conceive books will expire at the paws of the Cyberspace make n't understand the powerfulness of what passes when an prosecuted reader-of both web and print content-discovers new thoughts, new ideas, new minds, or remembers the impact of a classic. Word distributes quicker than ever, and the ensuing argumentation aids down thoughts for the futurity.

See besides:

Nix can replace the experience of settling into a comfy chair, perfect reading lamp oscillating above, favorite drinkable on the terminal table ( and for me, a bit piece of high octane cocoa ), opening a book on your lap, and entering into a long, deep conversation of nouses: the one that come about between yours and the writer 's.

Thank you, Amy Hirtz, for stating so eloquently what I 've been sputtering about all weekend: if we 're attending hold a discourse about `` the user experience, '' so that should intend ALL users ' experiences, including those of us who are fond of reading in a traditional manner.

This includes all 1, 140 people who are presently waiting to read one of our print transcripts of The Lost Symbol
This is no discourtesy to the 248 people waiting for the unabridged audiobook, the 56 people waiting for the abridged audiobook, or the 40 people waiting for the OverDrive download. It only intends that there are more people in my library 's service population who love print. And that should be hunky-dory.

I am, as ever, highly biased. I waited an full month for my transcript of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
It was like waiting for Christmas forenoon as a minor, and it experienced verily good to hold something pleasant to look frontwards to, especially on ambitious years. When I got my transcript, I sit up all dark reading it in one posing, with firing eyes and an hurting pancreas from laughing so hard. And but so maked I log into my societal webs and share the zombi good.

If that Holds the kinda user experience you 're all about, bellow back, as the tike state.

I hold a feeling this blog is, inevitably, attending take a bend in a different way really presently, though I can not at the minute ideate exactly how, or exactly when. Stay tuned, soft readers.

As a word cat, my instincts unerringly position me on an one-year project comparable to the upstream battle of the Pacific salmon during breeding season: locating the bevy of articles printed each twelvemonth coverage which words the dic-heads at Merriam-Webster or Random House hold added to our official vocabulary. Understand that I make not make this advisedly, but instead Am forced by forces hardwired into my lower encephalon by megs of geezerhood of nerd development. Frequently this directs me to a painful spot. Such is the instance in aught-nine.

It Holds not verily anything that was added... it Holds the startling skip of a word I 'd ever presumed must hold its spot in any good lexicon:

Dagnabbit!

Yes, I understand that this is a slang, and mayhap regional, term. But here 's where the `` New Words For 2009 '' hoo-hah ( a dictionary-approved term, by the bye ) comes in... if words like `` tweet '' and `` LOL '' are being stomped with the seal of official blessing, how can dagnabbit be left behind?

I 'll state you how: in a despairing bidding to divest themselves of their stodgy repute, to seem hip and with-it and `` sexy, '' the dictionarians are adding of-the-moment footings all willy-nilly ( besides in the lexicon ). And disorderly ( yep, this'un, overly ), additionally. While their begetter 's begetters would instead hold been stabbed repeatedly in the breadbasket with a pitchfork than add `` dagnabbit '' to the dictionary, their inheritors are sky in `` OMG! '' and the likes of. And so neglecting our society.

After all, it was n't auf wiedersehen ago that this same crew officially blessed our usage of `` IM. '' And make you cognise anyone who walks about telling, `` Oh ya, Caitlin and I were IM'ing all last dark. So I IM'ed Brianna. '' Does anyone existent utilisation twinkling messaging anymore?

Belike about the same percent of the world who still drop the occasional `` dagnabbit. ''

You 'll ne'er be cool, dictionarians. Halt assay, and in the procedure give ol ' dags its proper step of regard.

Commentary by Mollie Mayfield Barbee

Forty-seven eld ago this past Dominicus, Rachel louise carson printed Silent Spring

, her groundbreaking survey of the impact of rough chemicals and pesticides on skirting ecosystems. Decenniums after its publication and her ill-timed expiry from breast cancer in 1964, some still criticise Carson for her `` preservationist hysteria
`` and `` bad science
, '' while others acclaim her as the mother of the modern environmental movement
The lessons of her book
hold remained with me since I foremost read it as an stripling.

What is the connexion between ecologic knowingness and peace? It moves beyond the simple fact that if we employed upwardly all the resources on this planet we 'd hold nowhere to construct our healthy, free-from-conflict, booming communities of the hereafter. Acquiring to sleep in harmoniousness, prosecuting with the other, and actively seeking interdependent shipways to co-exist are peace principles that employ to interpersonal relationships, but besides to our relationships with our environment. Rosemary Radford Ruether
swayed my universe as a immature grownup when I read her Hagiographa that tie the destructive effects of a patriarchal or anthropocentric society on women and the impairment that society makes to all who are oppressedhuman or not.

We who name for a paradigm displacement toward just intervention of women are factual lending to an earth-healing motility. True justness, equality, and authorization for women emancipate all those who hold been excepted, marginalized, worked. Eco-feminism
, like Circle principles, links us to our ancient roots, our mutuality with the globe, and our potency to hit for the sky. Ruether write of powering women to unlock a more balanced way, and her work draws on her experiences in some of the toughest struggle zones today, including Latin America
and Sion and the Palestinian Territories

Our challenge to chance just shipways to employ our earthly resources is again at the forepart of my nous this hebdomad as US special envoy for Middle East peace
George Mitchell returns for his third visit to the region
since his naming before this twelvemonth. This relentless difference over land, rights, and history highlights the inseparable connectedness we hold with our environment and place. At this tenuous clip when a two-state solution looks to be stealing from our range, I believe sages Carson and Rosemary Radford Ruether can be our ushers. They remind us that deadly agencies employed to one species ( community ) in an ecosystem ( society ) toxicant all those who participate together and live that infinite.

Peacebuilding, eco-feminism, and environmentalism hold much in common, not least their cooccuring concerns for the futurity while in the nowadays. Commiting in these fields conveys somely societal, political, and wellness benefits; moreover it can stimulate the ailing US economy
as evidenced by on the rapid rollout of the environmental victuals in the Recovery and Reinvestment Enactment.

What Holds your return on the connectedness between peace and the environment? What other battles get on your nous that could profit from a more holistic, ecologically cognisant view? How make you see women working the resultants? Delight share your ideas with us in the commentssection of this blog.

A few months ago I pent a blog entry about all that God holded maked through me in the last month. It was haved amazingly goodly and I heard from so many of you what an encouragement it was. So as we reason the month of May, I conceived I would bonk again.

Hold you ever holded one of those moments when you realise something that Holds been gazing you in the face but hold n't agnized till that second and you desire to thwack yourself and state, How come I maked n't detect that? That Holds kinda how I experienced after I begined reading A Perfect Mess
by Abrahamson Eric & David Freedwoman.

View this: Conventional wisdom says us that formed is good, order is good, we must lay things in their proper spots, jumble is bad,etc. But, hold you ever halted to inquire why we lean to, in changing grades, be mussy with our places and our offices or workspaces. Yes, it Holds easy to be mussy but is there something more thereto?

That Holds the theme that the writers of Angstrom Perfective Mussiness explore. And it Holds stuff deserving believing about: how much clip make you pass forming files ( existent or virtual ), holding things a certain manner,etc. If you wish to organise material and hold things `` clean '', you 'll be surprised at how much clip and energy physical and mental you may be throwing at the messiness job. ( The writers take a excavation at David Allen ( GTD ) and Steven Covey ( Septenary Habits ) for their productiveness principles which tip towards the forming side. )

It Holds not like the writers are stating you to be untidy and throw things around but that there can be some good to holding things, for want of a better word, messy. And, if you believe about it, we 've been sayed to be orderly, clean, tidy, organise, but ne'er to be mussy. The nucleus thought of the book is that there Holds a certain grade of muss that we can stomach in our lives and it wo n't keep us back - in point of fact sometimes it can be helpful.

If you 're one of those people who care to read about productiveness or about personal organisation or muddle or holds OCD, this is a book that you must not lose You will look at muss in a different light and it wo n't be negative.

A while back, I posted my idea that Prophesier should present guides or gizmoes with PeopleSoft pre-installed. I experience bad that I maked not get it posted equally shortly as I detected that Seer maked eventually print such an image.

But, they look to hold withdrawn the images. I ca n't encounter them. I found on a cached page
that exhibits where they hold the image available. I am frightfully behind on reading the blogs perchance there will be some hints there.

I besides maked some looking about to see about utilizing such an image. My job is that I already hold VMWare installled. Can I instal Prophet VM along side? Even if it is possible, it is advisable?

I looked into converting an Seer VM image into a VMWare image. I chance a P ost asking about doing just that
, but it holded no reply. VMWare holds a Converter
and vCenter
that will convert machines into VMWare images, but they make n't speak about working with Prophesier VM images. Here
is another page of tools, but none of them stood out as options. Oracle has some tools too
, but I make n't believe they will make the trick either.

Back when I firstly holded my missies, I read a great essay in Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts
on the honor roll of mother-artists that each of us holds in our caput, the inspirational ones we believe of who hoodwink the cot, the stroller in the hall, the insistent shaver and the shouting poem, or picture, or unwritten vocal. We require to reiterate those names, to intonate them to ourselves in the hrs when it all looks impossible.

Now that I 'm more sure of myself, as mother, author and poet, I 'm not equally obsessional about the honor roll anymore. But today, I added Jorie Graham
to the listing. I 'd admired her work before when I read Dream Of The Unified Field
, but today I watched an amazing interview with her on parenthood and poetry
I 've e'er been more of a Whitman lover
than an Emily
fan-girl, but the image of a heavily pregnant Graham at Dickinson 's threshold, desiring to relieve both her tyke and her work, really struck me, like a rung bell.

If you hold the same laurels roll in your caput, I conceive you 'd rattlingly wish it excessively.

To recapitulate, this was the experimentation:
- begin a twitter chronicle named @ onlinefiction
- station three or four links to free, on-line fiction each hr ( other people 's and mine )
- follow cumulation of people ( initially ) to make some followers
- see what happed

( check out Twitter Promotions over at Publication Renascence for a more in-depth account )

This holds been astonishing. I 'm deriving around 100 followers a hebdomad ( and I 've halted following anyone except those who followed me foremost ). People are snapping on those links I send at an norm of 70/hour - but up to 120/hour in busier periods. Authors are saying me that they 're deriving more readers and commenters. Readers are saying me that they 're chance some fantastical fiction.

Here Holds an instance from a cleanly average hr of tweeting:

That Holds portion of abit.ly personal page. The main component of the page exposes my most-recently-added links, the box over to the side says me how many people hold snapped one of my twitter links in the last hr, and which ones they snapped along.

Is this sustainable? Will click-throughs gain or drop-off over clip?

Honestly, I hold no thought.

But I 'm kinda basking the drive.
