reviewtesseracts twelve

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Tesseracts Twelve, Claude Lalumiere (ed.), 2008, ISBN 9781894063159 This newest collection of Canadian fantastic fiction looks at the novella (17,500 to 40,000 words), the hardest-to-sell length of fiction. In a small town in Alberta, an intact baby woolly mammoth is found buried in the snow. When Samuel, the town’s “smart person,” touches the carcass, the mammoth’s life force is transferred to him, and he begins to have weird visions about being chased by beings on two legs. During a town-wide party, with mammoth stew as the main course (over Samuel’s strong objections), strange things start happening, and several of the townspeople turn into cavemen, and chase Samuel as if he is the baby mammoth. A young warrior, in feudal Japan, is sent to a small town to find out why they haven’t sent in their annual amount of rice. Taking along his concubine and his brother, the mayor of the town says that it is not their fault; the land is somehow cursed. Solving the mystery, the warrior is shocked to find that his concubine and his brother are not exactly what they seem. They are mythological beings in human form. Superheroes in present-day Korea deal with maniacal villains, inter-Korean politics, corporate downsizing (and overbearing mothers). As the world faces environmental catastrophe, reality-TV adventurers battle giant squids in the very deep ocean. Another small town in Alberta conducts pagan rituals during the year as if it was totally normal (though not everyone agrees). A pair of average women with the power of life and death travel the streets of present-day Montreal. Here is another strong bunch of stories from north of the border. They are very easy to read, and very weird. It’s recommended. Paul Lappen is a freelance book reviewer whose website, Dead Trees Review , has over 700 reviews on all subjects, with an emphasis on small press books.

marc morales on the beat east of tiffanys

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Sunday afternoon. After spending a good hour at Borders (57th and Park Avenue), I went to Staples (right across the street) to buy a rim of paper for my printer. Since I am a cop -on and off duty- I always take a quick look of the whole scene of any place I go. By the pens and markers section I saw a tall blond (her back to me) talking to a man who looked like Yo Yo Ma (the renowned cellist). Didn’t make much of it; the store was a little empty, unlike weekdays when it is usually crowded. So I went about my business. Before long I found myself at the computer shelf, just curious, testing the keyboard for the new Notepads. So engrossed was I in the damn gadget that -though sweet and low- a female voice startled me: “How much do they weigh?” “Less than three pounds,” I replied. Wowza! The chick next to me was a six-footer, blond hair cascading on her shoulders, white jeans, oversized $300 Marc Jacobs sunglasses on top her head. I am a cop, so I’m trained to size up a person in mini-seconds. Major babe, I thought. Although she might not have been as well schooled as me in sizing up people, I could tell right away that she was processing me. I could see her slow scan traveling from toes to fingers to my hair; and then she locked eyes with me. People tell me I look like Mario Lopez, except that Mario has black hair and dimples, and I brown hair and pimples. So I figured she liked celebrities, or why would a good looking woman approach me? I usually initiate the chase. After some innocuous talk about the Swine flu and some techie talk, I got a little personal and said, “Tall and pretty as you are, you gotta be a model.” “Not anymore.” After and awkward moment, as we both waited for the other to lead on, I held my tongue as well as her stare. “I freelance,” she said. When you make detective in the Force, you get to take classes, workshops, and seminars in interrogation techniques. As it is I am totally unschooled in this aspect of human relations. Yet my instinct told me that because she was picking her words with caution, she was prodding me to keep talking and to keep asking questions. Hmm, I thought, she? wants me to ask her ‘freelance what’? But I won’t. Before I became a cop, I sold mutual funds for a while. My sales manager always told me, “Be in control; don’t let the prospect anticipate your answer-or they’ll have a ready answer-’no’ in most cases.” Being a salesman can teach you a lot about people–lots of psychology for sure. But there’s no substitute for a good college education. Thank God, come September I’ll start at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. So, instead of asking the obvious follow up question ‘what do you freelance?’ I asked her, “You work in Wall Street-investment banking?” That caught her off guard. “First time anybody ever said that to me.” “Real estate?” “Hardly. That field is in the dumps; can’t make money there. Besides, I hear every housewife that gets divorced applies for a real estate license.” I smiled and said nothing. Digging into her big Prada bag –which go for $2,500, unless is a knock off, in which case is only $25– she pulls her iPhone, touch-screens it daintly, and looking into my eyes, she casually says: “Oh, my! Ten-Fifty-two, at PJ Clarke’s.” It only took a fraction of a second for her to detect that my eyes showed that I had understood what she just said. I could just see the wheels turning on her street-smart mind: Cop on the floor. Run! Right was she. Only a cop would know that 10-52 means “dispute in progress.” Totally in control, nimble and wing-footed she ambled past the cashiers counter, on her way out the door. “Wait,” I wanted to yell, but no sound came out of my mouth. More than disconcerted, disappointed, or even disheartened, I felt like a fool. I’ve responded to lots of calls for help, misdemeanors, petty crimes, street disputes, anger-management situations, traffic violations, domestic violence, shop lifting, etc. Like medical doctors, I’ve developed immunity to pain and virtue. I guess you can say I am a bit of a cynic. And like that French philosopher Descartes, I tend to doubt people. But somehow I was rooting for her, wishing and praying subconsciously that she was a good decent egg. Humiliated, outsmarted, outfoxed, and craving for revenge, a little voice inside my skull told me, “Don’t just stand there like a dummy with your jaw unhinged. Check her out.” So, I walked over to the manager, who is an amiable man, and I asked him, “Did you see the tall blond…she was here a few minutes ago.” “Oh, yeah-I see everyone. My job.” “Does she come here often?” “Everyday. Sometimes three or four times a day.” “How come?” “Meets people here. During the week she goes for the executive types, them with the expensive suits, dress-shoes, silk ties-you know well-heeled dudes. The older set.” “Why would she approach me?” “I asked myself the same question. I figgered she liked you.” I’m gaining a lot of respect for this guy. So I’m brazen and asked a blunt question: “Is she a hooker?” “I have her card, behind the register. Dudes many times aren’t interested in her services, so they throw them out in the trash can.” The card read: Wendy Foxx Physical Trainer That evening I searched Twitter and Facebook, and yes, she came up. Nice face shot. Nice body shot. In Twitter she has almost two thousand dudes following her. So, just to be thorough, I also ran a search in Craiglist-lo and behold, she was also listed there: masseuse. Now I am torn. I am a tough ambitious, ‘don’t get on my way’ type of man, and can’t wait to make detective. But now I have a moral dilemma: should I give Vice a tip? I really gotta think hard about his. My old Accounting teacher at LaGuardia College –of which I am a graduate, Paralegal Studies and English Lit– once said that he lived by this saying: “Love God and do whatever you want.” It’s only now that I’m beginning to understand what he meant. Yo, man–I need help. Just because my name is Morales doesn’t mean I have to be moral–does it? Retired. Former investment banker, Columbia University-educated, Vietnam Vet (67-68).

where to promote my niche product

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Well this always a popular topic after you have decided on your niche product. I mean it’s always confusing which option to take. The 2 most popular ways are Pay-Per-Click or good old article marketing. Let me explain the 2. Pay-Per-Click is a highly powerful option used by many big time internet money makers out there today. If you’re unsure what PPC is jump onto your Google search engine and punch something in, do a search on say “babies clothes” and on the right of the Google list top 10 you will see short ads in green advertising for similar products in the market of “babies”, there Pay-Per-Click Ads. Now as I mentioned above PPC is very powerful and Google will put your ads up as many times as you like being seen by millions of people but as the name says you pay for every click. That means that every time someone clicks on your ad you get charged a fee. The more popular the keywords you use the more it will cost per click. Now if people go on and buy your product that’s great you’re making money back, but if not……….well you know. Don’t get me wrong an expert PPC marketer will make hundreds of thousands of dollars but you need money to put into first. If you’re like nearly everyone out there you don’t want to put huge sums of money down in the beginning and that brings us to option 2, Article Marketing. Now Article marketing is simply writing an article on your chosen niche product then submitting it to an article host site. Simple! Ha-ha! Well it’s simple as soon you get the hang of it. This thing your reading is an article. All articles should be between 400 - 700 words otherwise Google looks at it as spam and nobody sees it. The greatest thing about article writing is you control what’s said and you get to express yourself in writing then publish your work online and people read it. I mean you’re an author now! That’s awesome I love it! Tell me if this is familiar for anyone. At school I sucked at English class and writing essays because I had to use correct grammar and write on a topic I didn’t enjoy but with article marketing grammar doesn’t have to exist at all and your obviously writing on a topic that you enjoy, just type like you’re talking to a buddy at it flows right on to the screen. Another huge benefit to article writing is that it doesn’t cost you a dim!! That’s right you do not have to spend a single dollar to advertise your chosen niche product. Awesome! Potentially you can make money with no money down. What kind of other business can you do that with? So team it’s up to you how you go ahead with your hot niche and I hope I’ve shed some light on the 2 best options for newbie internet marketers. I have had success in various avenues online. I now guide people to online riches and help them choose the most profitable options out there today. Qualify now for a FREE Money Making Shortcut! Quit Stalling Find a Market Niche Today!

how to write a good essay

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Every year ordering custom essays becomes more popular among students. Many potential clients consider using custom writing services because it saves their time, helps them to concentrate on their favorite subjects and offers more opportunities for personal development allowing active involvement in interesting activities besides studies. One of our writers decided to conduct research on different approaches to essay writing. He recorded the story of his friend who shared with him his experience of writing an essay for his English Literature class: …During my sophomore year at high school I was assigned to write an argumentative essay on any topic. I showed the first draft of the essay to my teacher. He read it carefully and then said, “This essay is not what I want.” I felt disappointed and angry at the same time. What’s wrong with my essay? Why didn’t he explain? I came home and decided to read it again. The first thing that I noticed was the introduction that didn’t catch attention of the readers. My essay was about gender inequalities and employment. I started with describing historical events related to gender issues and illustrating some facts which did not explain the topic of my essay. Therefore, I revised the introductory paragraph of the essay providing striking statistics about progression of gender inequalities for certain job positions. The introduction became interesting to read because the facts in the introductory part of my essay were taken from sources which were difficult to access and not actively “advertised”. Because of the uniqueness of the introduction readers were easily involved into the process of reading the essay; their desire was driven by their curiosity in further development of my arguments. However, my introduction was still not perfect. The next element that I had to revise was my thesis statement. Thesis helps a reader to focus on the main point that a writer is going to prove by his/her essay. It may seem easy because before writing an essay you record your central idea immediately and then collect information and build your writing process in accordance with the main idea. Nevertheless, the thesis statement that you have in your mind may not be persuasive in written form. It is essential to remember that your thesis statement is not a summary of the essay that you were assigned to write. On the contrary, it is your standpoint on the chosen topic. Thus, it should include your own opinion, the opposite point of view and the summary of supportive facts which will be presented further in the essay. The question is how to fit all those elements into one sentence of your thesis statement. It may take quite a long time. However, if you manage to write strong thesis statement you’ll succeed in presenting the complex idea of your essay using simple text. It does not mean using simple vocabulary; it rather means developing more persuasive arguments and making your essay easier to read. The thesis statement in my essay was: “According to sociological research, in multinational companies women have fewer opportunities than men to be hired for managerial positions.” I thought it was a perfect thesis statement; however, it was absolutely unacceptable. To begin with, the thesis statement of my essay was biased because it did not reflect the point of view of the opposite party. Besides, the main points which support the idea of the essay were not summarized in the thesis statement. Thus, I revised the thesis sentence and wrote the following: “Even though some researchers believe that the new perception of the role of women in modern society established equal opportunities for men and women, psychological indicators and sociological findings demonstrate that women have fewer opportunities to be hired for managerial positions in multinational companies.” At last I finished my work on the thesis statement! The writing process went smoothly. I already had the structure of the essay in my head. First, I recorded the first sentences which explained the central idea of each paragraph in the main body of the essay. Later I reorganized my notes which I took while reading useful literature on my topic and supplied each paragraph with the evidence that supported my arguments. In the conclusion, I summarized the key points and restated the thesis. I showed the second draft to my teacher and his only comment was, “I’m glad that you learnt how to write an essay.”… Probably this story will remind you your personal experience of learning how to write essays. The story is interesting because this student discovered himself those mistakes that he made while writing the first draft of his essay. His knowledge came from practice. He was able to write a good essay but he would spend less time on his improvement if he did research and used online guides on writing essays.

botox the temporary wrinkle solution

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

in the health and beauty market because of its ability to erase and minimize wrinkles. The stunning success of the Botox has made a huge splash BOTOX solution has had beauty enthusiasts lining up to receive their wrinkle treatments. Are botox treatments safe? After all BoTOX is a protein toxin produced by clostridium botulinum bacteria. This is the first cousin to the deadly botulism bacteria. Botox has been safely used by opthamoligists for over a decade without any serious side effects being reported. This drug has actually been around since the early 1960’s. Originally it was used as a treatment for crossed eyes. The manner in which botox works is that it is injected into the muscle where the wrinkles appear. When the botox is injected into the muscle the frown lines, crow’s anticipated to be used on over 4.5 million patients in 2006. They are more popular than breast augmentation. Current botox patients report that after several treatments that the effects of this wrinkle cure last feet and laugh lines temporarily disappear. I stress the use of the word “temporary” because a botox treatment normally lasts about 3 to 6 months. Botox treatments were approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment of muscles that produce frown lines. Botox injections have quickly become the fastest growing cosmetic procedure and are much longer. It is important to note that Botox is ineffective for fine wrinkles because fine wrinkles do not appear because of facial expression caused by facial muscles. On the flipside, the one negative of botox treatments is a slight and temporary drooping of the eyelid. At the present time this appears to be the most important side effect of botox treatment. While botox has been safely used by millions of patients, it is recommended that pregnant women, or women who are breastfeeding their babies as well as patients suffering from neurologic disease should never use botox. Botox treatments do not work for everyone. However, over 90% of patients who have been surveyed are extremely happy with this procedure. This temporary cure for wrinkles has created quite a bit of excitement in the health and beauty field. This procedure is administered by qualified plastic surgeons. The average cost for a simple botox treatment is about $200 - $400 for each area that it is applied to. Did you find this article useful?

all that you wanted to know about freelance writers jobs

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

You have finally decided to give freelance writers jobs or freelance writing a shot because you are confident about your writing abilities, you have arranged for the set up by putting in place your laptop, internet connection, anti plagiarism software etc and you have also read up a few articles on freelance writers’ jobs and freelance writing. You can also boast of having a few articles published here and there. And deep down in your bosom you wish to leave your mark in the publishing world and want to earn a name for yourself as a freelance writer. But have you weighed up all the options before you? In this article I shall talk about a few avenues open for a freelance writer which will let you earn a decent living for yourself. Freelance writers’ jobs - Magazines Freelancers can find a good freelance writing job for themselves in magazines. There are many kinds of magazines nowadays on every imaginable kind of topic, be it sports, photography, fashion, women’s magazine, movie magazine, health and fitness or teen magazine etc. Try to get a freelance writing job with a magazine that fits your interest bill, for example, if you are more comfortable writing about sports issues, then go for reputed sports magazines. Start off with a few niche topics which are close to your heart, say, lifestyle topics and try to stick to these and earn a name for yourself in that particular niche before thinking about working your way up. You will find it is far easier to write about something that pleases or interests you. With time and practice, as your fields of interests and expertise will increase, try to expand your freelance writing horizons and try out your options with more magazines. When you start out you may have to concentrate on fillers, don’t expect your article to appear as the cover story. But they bring in good money and are fun to write. Greetings cards freelance writing You can also consider dipping your fingers in the greetings card segment where you have to write out the content for traditional paper cards and e cards while taking a break from regular writing. As a freelancer you can also try your hand at tee shirt or bumper sticker, magnet, doormats or ceramic mugs slogan writing. Freelancers are appointed to write those cheeky one liners that you see on tee shirts or mugs. And the pay is pretty good, though there is no fame. But you may get paid for each word you write. As with any project, your skill is enhanced with each and every word that you write. So don’t dismiss this type of work as being beneath you. Posters freelance writing job You can also consider the freelance writers jobs of poster writing where you can earn through royalties and a steady stream of money may trickle into your bank account for a poster content that you wrote perhaps 4 years back. It is a nice surprise to receive a payment when you are least expecting it. Of course you fully deserve that bonus whether it is a surprise or not. Resume writing Another viable freelance writing job for which freelancers are regularly appointed is resume writing which is different from funny anecdotes or flowery prose creation. You could advertize your services both online and offline. In resume writing, freelancers will have to use attention grabbing, crisp and professional language. It is encouraging when you find that your skills are being enhanced with more work.
