Pssst…. Mona's Rave of "Through the Silent Caldera"
November 24, 2012
Karen Fleming remembers how after she had first wrote her first book she would read it over and over again making sure every word was spelled correctly and there were no grammatical errors. She reflects how she read the book over a hundred times or more between editing and reclaiming her book from Publish America. This book was the beginning of her life's work that she just refused to give up on it. She retells how she was spellbound that she had written poetry she was actually proud of and had no doubt it was publishable.
Karen’s good friend Mona recently had left her an absolutely wonderful review that she wasn't expecting.
“Karen, your gift as a poet takes to the sky as an angel. Your brilliance shines from every line of this book. Like all those fleeting moments of our lives - beautiful, joyful, and those filled with sorrow. You capture them all and bring the magic to life in an incomparably creative way. Through the Silent Caldera truly is a masterpiece - but more than anything else, it is the very essence of life. We love you!" Mona
There are days when I have received such beautifully written comments that … it reaffirms my belief that all the exhausting and grueling hours I spent perfecting this book was well worth my efforts.

Pssst…. Unpubublished Writers There's Hope
October 28, 2012
But only now has she written a "Pssst Post". Otherwise we'd not have found her.
And what's her Pssst? Its that she's going to be a published author. What’s strange is that nothing went the way it was supposed to. Apparently she's written several books, but goes it alone without a book deal. What went different this time is that the one that landed her fame and fortune with a three book deal with Penguin’s digital-first line, Intermix, is that the book hadn't been written. Not a single word.
She sold on proposal. And so this great news has an underlining story for all those unpublished writers out there…

Pssst… Here’s where you should be recruiting top talent!
October 24, 2012
In this Pssst… Nick outlines his expectations of how the job market will level the field for great talent as the economy is destined to recover.
"During a bust, revenues and profits crash. Business tanks, and companies lay off workers because they can’t afford them. As the cycle turns and we start toward a boom (or think we are, anyway), sales take off, revenues spike, and profits surge."
"If you want to recruit top talent — dedicated workers who are ready to move — you need look no farther than the most profitable companies that haven’t been hiring. They may be advertising jobs, but…., they’re just pretending. They’re not hiring at levels significant enough to sacrifice their artificial profits. Their best employees are ripe for the picking."
Have faith… you're worth more than what they're paying you… Read this!

Pssst…. Voluteering in the USofA
July 02, 2012
One of those girls is going to volunteer at a summer camp in the USofA. "Actually, I’m quite looking forward to it as I’ve never volunteered in a developed country before and certainly never with 150 or so kids ranging in age from 4-17 all in one place! In the words of an old volunteer buddy from India “yowser!”
We can only hope that there will be follow up blogs detailing her adventure… for from the tone of the blog, this group of girls only celebrate successes.

Pssst…. WEgo, do YOUgo?
June 29, 2012
Never in her wildest dreams did Erin Olson think she would be writing about Jesus. "Really, are you kidding me?" she laughs. "But when Jesus gets a hold of your heart, it is hard to let Him go." She keeps a very nice blog, little on the religious side for me but a very nice blog. I don't worry about robbing elbows with anyone and generally look for sites that will expand my experience, and Erin's does.
Erin's PssstPost read "As I stood there in the heat sweating like a pig, the Holy Spirit was whispering to me, “The planting and watering must take place for things to grow and multiply. If we fail to plant, we will never see blooms. If we fail to water, baby believers will fail to take root, shrivel up and die. But, with the right amount of water and care, the believer will dig deep, be secure and teach others how to get just the right amount of water. Some will plant, some will water and some will harvest. It doesn’t matter who does what, it just matters that it gets done. Don’t continue to take in water if you see that someone else needs it more.” (See 1 Corinthians 3:6-7) As I looked over my flowerbeds, I could see this whisper playing out. I noticed my newly planted annuals (Mexican heather and zinnias) were burnt up – some hadn’t even taken root, just flopped over and out of their holes -- a pathetic sight indeed. My more established shrubs were fairing much better. For the time being, they are still green."
Read her post, ponder it and see if you can apply it to your life…

So in a moment of relationship evolution, Kate writes a self-effacing blog entry that describes not only her history of "attracting either stolidly stoic men or fawning sycophants", but also how she's not going to put up with men with these traits. But that's not the real find…

"Understandably so, there is nothing so sad as those pale, pathetic tomato wannabes that overrun the produce sections during the off season...which is most of the year. Consequently, during tomato season, people go nuts for the vine ripened, blood red beauties that we have the good fortune to have in Oklahoma."

I had contacted the Animal Welfare Foundation of Iowa earlier this week to see about maybe fostering for them. However, when I contacted them, I didn't count on how much they needed foster homes and how fast they would get me approved and get me a dog. "

Pssst…. Wanna Buy A Regional Jet Cheap?
May 22, 2012
She’s a trade journalist who has covered issues as diverse as aviation, employment and training, welfare reform, economic development and agriculture/agribusiness. She’s also spent five years on “the dark side,” in senior corporate communications positions at two airlines and an aircraft engine manufacturer.
Benét covered the regional aviation industry from 1993 to 2001. During that time, she watched as regional carriers grew up and became almost mirror images of their larger airline partners. In this interesting article she explores how high fuel costs and industry changes may create an inventory of great aircraft available at dirt cheap prices (relatively). Not like you’re going to be able to park it in the driveway.
This is a great article that makes you think about an industry that many of us just take for granted …. Aviation is a business and not just a replacement of the Greyhound bus.

"I promise you that I love my family. Love them. Would stop a bullet for them. Challenge trains to push them to safety. I wouldn't trade any of them for any amount of treasure.
But.
If I don't get some alone time soon everybody's gonna be visiting me in the loony bin.
For the last ten days to two weeks, everybody has been sniping at everybody else in every single combination you can think of. Constantly. Spouse has been on vacation so he's been helping out enormously (thank you spouse!) but the non-stop warfare has worn me thin. That last little nerve has been scraped raw and everyone has broken out the tap shoes to dance on it."
Albeit sympathizing for Steph's plight, how about the blog being a book or movie plot.

Pssst.... It's called the nap.
February 06, 2012
The term "nap" as it applies to fabric generally refers to the direction in which the open ends of the fibers naturally lie, such as in a velvet piece. Normally, the fabric nap would be in the down direction. However, to achieve a darker, richer color, sometimes these fabrics are used with the nap in the up direction. This darker color is the result of the reduced reflection of light off the fibers.

The turtle tried again and again while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts. Finally, the female bird turned to her mate.
“Dear,” she chirped, “I think it’s time to tell him he’s adopted.”

Pssst.... Wanna read some Smut? Pete Thinks You Do
January 31, 2012
One of England’s finest and most loved writers explores the uncomfortable and tragicomic gap between people’s public appearance and their private desires in two tender and surprising stories.
Pete says "Smut by Alan Bennett, consists of two novellas. And while not nearly as lustful as the title suggests, both stories are humorous, intriguing, and highly entertaining. In the first story, the person one would expect least likely to engage in voyeurism (the prim widow Mrs. Donaldson) suddenly can't get enough when the opportunity presents itself. In the second, Graham, the perfect banker son, is perhaps not all that he seems. Yes, his fingernails are exceptionally clean, but what does that prove exactly? Read this funny little book and you'll find out all his secrets -- and more!"

Let’s just say I prefer a home that has a fresher scent. Admittedly, pets are not the only culprit when it comes to disturbing scents, but that’s the topic at the moment.
Beyond the initial offense, my concern for you as a pet owner is your health, your children’s health, your guests, and your property value. You probably don’t even know it exists anymore because you’re so used to it."

Stepxen opened up a Twitter account in March of 2009. He wasn’t really sure why other than he needed a Twitter account.
"I was very confused about the real purpose of it. I still see people today that are really confused about what the heck it’s even good for. I have learned recently that it is a pretty neat tool to have at your disposal."
"I’ve always kind of thought that having a Facebook account kept you in touch with everyone but we end up having friends, people who add us because we have friends in common, former friends, enemies, etc… And then we have to see what all of these people are doing or thinking, or they may comment on what we are doing ..."
"Twitter on the other hand is a little different, you follow someone that you want to follow, you see what they say… You just read a “tweet” from someone and keep going... "
So Stepxen gets it.. he get's Twitter... and wrote a nice explanation for us... Drop by and read his stuff!

Pssst.... Don't tell anyone.. Big Oil makes money.
January 19, 2012
I know how shocking this must be for many of us.
But it’s true. Literally. The duty of Big Oil’s executives to their shareholders is to maximize their profits. There’s nothing wrong with that, in theory. They are in fact, quite good at it. The top five oil companies alone have made almost a trillion dollars in profit in the last decade.
You just need to remember that making money – not providing jobs or energy security for our nation – is what they’re all about. Therefore, if you want to find out what’s really going on with the oil industry’s latest pet project – Keystone XL – all you need to do is follow the money."
... and this is exactly what I (Chief Pssst Poster) thought might be going on with Keystone XL. But I'm still a big fan of the pipeline for it's jobs, revenues, profits and the fact that those profits are coming to American companies and not foreign companies. Part of any business is to keep its competitors from making profits.

Sounds like Mommy DJ needs some late night advice herself? Do you have a foolproof remedy or do you just default to stareing at the ceiling too?
" I remember waking up as a kid and realizing my parents had been up for hours. It never made sense to me. I was thinking, Why are they up so early? How boring.

Pssst.... Be aware if you get a parking ticket
January 01, 2012
The crushing feeling of finding a ticket attached to the windshield of your car is enough to ruin any New Yorker’s New Year.
But there are ways to fight it, if you’re armed with the right information. While certain parking and meter regulations are suspended Sunday and Monday for the holiday, they’ll resume Tuesday.
Larry Berezin, chief operating officer of New York Parking Ticket LLC, believes city parking spots are scarcer than ever and tickets are up this time of year because of all the tourists in town for winter break.
“Visitors to my website have increased significantly over the last three weeks,” said Berezin, a lawyer whose company offers advice on fighting such summonses.

Pssst.... Mum's Gone to La La Land
December 30, 2011
Pssst is a funny little word and you find it in the oddest places. "Mum's Gone to La La Land" is one of those sites which on first look didn't qualify, I can say this because the "Pssst" just didn't measure up to being in a place that was of any interest ... to anyone. And that's what I'm here to do, find you interesting Pssst Posts. (I dare you to find the Pssst ob Mum's site).
A side benefit of searching for Pssst is that searching takes me to very ODD places. "Mum's Goes to La La Land" is exactly that.... ODD. She's gone around the bend ... and seriously FOUND La La Land! Mum has a twisted mind.
I encourage you to run the site... a guaranteed laugh.

Pssst.... Wanna Buy Premium Remodeling on Sale?
December 28, 2011
We live in a society of supply and demand. Things that everyone wants to own (a Mercedes SLR) typically cost more than things no one wants (a Yugo). The same applies to services; a haircut from someone who cares about the details and has years of experience in creating the latest styles will demand a premium over a cut delivered by a beauty college student just starting out with scissors.
But what if you wanted that car, haircut, (or in our case, remodeling) that was the better quality option, but you wanted to secure it at a discount. Well, for the car, it might involve looking for a used model, for the latest haircut you might have to look for a coupon or promotion… but what about that finished basement, attic storage space, or outdoor kitchen/deck dream?

Maybe XMas is the day you'll propose?

Part One
Think about her…. Remember: This moment will be a zillion times more important to her than it could ever be for you—stuff of legions…. and will be retold by her and her sister again and again—so really consider what SHE would like….and waiting until half-time of the big game is probably not the direction….think ‘romance’….Drew Brees is cute but! I think you get the point. If you think about it, I’m sure she’s probably dropped a hint or two and will appreciate any effort you make to personalize the proposal in a way that says, “Yes, I ‘hear’ you …and totally ‘get’ you”.

Pssst.... Sometimes you just need the advice of The Bad Ass Mama
December 12, 2011
Academic success does not necessarily prepare one for motherhood.
Let me explain.
I (Sherice, otherwise know as One Bad Ass Mama) am a firm believer that there is a difference between book smarts and street smarts. Academic learning and common sense, knowledge and wisdom. Each is valuable in its own way, and not all folks are created equal when it comes to any of the above. I'd like to think that I have a good balance of book smarts and street smarts, and just enough common sense to make me dangerous. But my true strength is traditional academic learning. I'm a nerd, a geek, bookworm, teacher's pet. You name it, I've been called it and have LOVED every minute of it....
... It hit me on the way back from gymnastics this weekend. The teacher let me know that Angel only got 3 stamps (instead of 4) because he was not following directions during the parachute activity (I was changing Victor's pamper, so I didn't see him through the window). She told me that, while his skills were very strong and he did a great job in the smaller group stations, he tended to wander during larger group activities. This, of course, was nothing new to me but I was hoping that it was just a phase that he would magically emerge from. Like, tomorrow.

Pssst.... Something for those menopausal power surges
December 12, 2011
This spring, I (Sharon Lovejoy) hosted the UK Herbarium group blog party one month and my dear friend Rita contributed her recipe for elderflower cordial to the party. When our elderflowers bloomed I gathered some and followed her recipe. Simply delicious and I began to just crave a nice cold glass of water mixed with the cordial in the evenings. Coincidentally, I started sleeping like a newborn baby… I eventually ran out of the cordial … and started sleeping poorly again…

Pssst…. Hey, it’s Diana Gabaldon here, at the Ball!
December 03, 2011
Diana Gabaldon is the author of the New York Times #1 best selling, international award-winning OUTLANDER series (including the Lord John Grey novels), described by Salon magazine as “the smartest historical sci-fi adventure-romance story ever written by a science Ph.D. with a background in scripting “Scrooge McDuck” comics.”
Here’s what Diana has to say about her newly released novel: I’m thrilled by the advent of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER. I never like to do things I’ve already done, and I haven’t here; SCOTTISH PRISONER is a hybrid novel–something between the “Big” books of the OUTLANDER series and the shorter Lord John ones. It’s set in 1760, and is an adventure/crime/historical novel (with occasional sex and more frequent violence), featuring Jamie Fraser and Lord John in equal measure. If you’d like a brief preview, the first 19 pages are available on Scribd, here:....
Best of all, Diana will be giving a free copy of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER to a lucky Debutante Ball reader. The contest is open to everyone. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment.

Pssst.… Need a Cheap Couch to Stay in NY? } Illegal
December 02, 2011
Bunking in other people’s apartments is a growth industry. There’s a whole (and growing) online universe of apartment-swapping, of sublets, of short-term rentals, promulgated by firms like Airbnb.com. And, as it turns out, nearly every such deal is illegal here. Last spring, a law went into effect that bans the rental of New York City apartments for fewer than 30 days, providing what the mayor’s office described as “a clear definition of what constitutes transient and permanent occupancy.” Yet “the legislation hasn’t changed behavior,” says Paul Gottsegen, president of Halstead Management Company, adding that his firm continues to field complaints from neighbors about illegal renters. Stuart Saft, president of the Council of New York Cooperatives and Condominiums, says that owners in buildings he represents have begun demanding that their boards act upon transient guests.

Pssst.... Wanna know a secret?
November 23, 2011
Brace yourself, this secret is a goodie! Yoga Flirt is NOT about the pole. I know, shocking right?
In any form of yoga, the asanas or postures, the physical stuff we do with our bodies, isn’t what yoga is all about.
Let me explain.
The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit word yuj, which means to yoke or create union. So with yoga we are creating a union with our mind, body, breath and spirit. Yoga Sutra 1.2 offers this definition, “The restraint of the modifications of the mind-stuff is Yoga.” What this means is that the goal of yoga is to have a calm, still mind. Not empty or blank, just one-pointed focus.

November 23, 2011
What seems like many years ago now, I was driving up to Naryn and as we passed through the town of Kochkor, I saw a sight that made me smile. Draped over the fences were row upon row of colourful shyrdaks, felt carpets. There were even shyrdaks laid on the side of the road. I mentioned this when we got to Naryn and I was told that they were cleaning the carpets. Apparently, twice a year you should shake the carpet and beat it with a carpet beater, stick or tennis racket, then lay it out in direct sunlight for about three hours. You shouldn’t try washing it with soap and water nor use a brush or a vacuum cleaner because this can destroy the felt.

I was walking hurriedly and hopefully to reach the class before the starting of the lecture, while I was making my long and wide steps I noticed her behind doing the same, I opened the door and stepped into the class and stayed seizing the handle waiting for her to pass through, when she became beside me for my surprise she rewarded me with attractive smile that woman can give to a gallant man like me who value deeply that sensitive creature who called ”the woman”. After the conclusion of the lecture and without intention I vow, the same scenario repeated itself once again and I think at this point we exchanged few words outside the class for the first time and it was the beginning and for my astonish I started replacing that impression of that stern woman who have nothing for all!!!!

NaNoWriMo is upon us, and while I'm not taking part this year, I am going to use the premise of NaNo to set an almost impossible goal for myself for November.
By the end of the month I will have my 85,000 word manuscript revised to 60,000 words. Much of the revision entails new writing, because ...anytime you change something at the beginning of a novel, it has a ripple effect, much like dominoes falling.

Pssst.... Allyson West-Giant Fail?
October 27, 2011
oh, i was thinking about "Said Date" recently, noticing that I hadn't anything too terribly Eventful to blog, when I realized, actually, that besides movie dates, I had been the one to initiate the last date.
and oh my god, wasn't it a big FAIL on my part.
I invited Said Date over for dinner.
with my "parents."
("parents" only because my birth-parents live in Texas. and these "parents" are undeniably my parents here.)

Pssst.... Heard Any Good Gossip Lately?
January 03, 2011
No, I'm not talking about that juicy tidbit of gossip that tastes so good when first swallowed but sours one's spirit as soon as it is digested. Moreover, I'm definitely not talking about that news that makes you secretly rub your hands together because you just 'knew' the 'truth' would come out about that person who you hoped would one day fall. Destructive, manipulative, vindictive gossip is never good. There is enough teaching and more than enough scriptures warning and commanding us to keep away from this sort of speech. We are cautioned to keep away from such evildoers that would speak slander and delight in seeing the downfall of others.
