Working on the rectangular mirror because none of y'all are helping me out.

I still need G-Whiz references and suggestions for the embellishments on the oval mirror.

Dear Beta-readers…

Since nobody new volunteered - please let me know if you have not received your copy of Kung Fu Zombies.

If it is not in your inbox - check your spam, trash and junk folders. I tend to wind up in there for some reason.

This book is probably going to be my one chance at making an income so PLEASE HURRY with getting back to me. Even if it’s to tell me that you don’t have the time/effort/stamina to beta read.

Thank you for your help.

ellenkushner:

I’m raising money to save my 100+ year old home from foreclosure. It really started a few years back on April 27th, 2011. Our house sustained hail and straight-wind damage that brok…

I’ve known JaNell for years.  She’s a reader and an artist, a maker of quips and jests, vivid, witty designs and bold color. I’d wondered why I hadn’t been seeing her usual quips online - and then I got this, and I understood.

The most harrowing part of this story to me - buried deep in her request for help to keep her house  - is what’s happened to her eyes:

“After the surgery…straight lines are twisted and curved; many sections of the color spectrum are just gone; everything is washed out and seen in tunnel vision.

It took me about six months to train my eyes to track together enough to read - my favorite pastime, formerly. And my design work - the way I paid my bills - it took even longer to relearn how to do that. I can only work a few hours a day while using a large tv as a monitor and it’s not an issue that glasses can fix. It is as good as it’s going to be.”

If you’re warm and safe right now, maybe you can throw just $10 toward this brave woman’s fight to stay in the game.

Or just go straight to her art on Etsy (jewelry! fused glass!) and Spoonflower (coffee cups! skulls! carrots! bowling!) to do some holiday shopping where it will do the most good.

Thanks.

Someone who is expert in Minecraft and/or redstone please help me. In creative mode, this piston does this. In survival mode, it also does this.

Is it something I did? Is it my computer?  What am I doing wrong? By all accounts, this setup should work… but ‘should’ is not 'does’.

Occupy Needs YOU!

If you live near an Occupy camp, or feel any kind of horror at the fact that the brutal arm of injustice is currently destroying books… Occupy Needs You!

To turn up.

Bring books, sleeping bags, tarps, food… Anything you can spare. Everything you can carry.

Bring them to the rally points and bring a message with you.

Occupy now needs to keep a watch on the police, to be aware of raids. People in the camps need to be able to grab what’s most precious to them and move at a moment’s notice. We can not allow this to happen again.

Occupy needs to sue the police in a class action suit against the loss of the property they are now destroying. Expense is the only language they understand. Make this as expensive as all hell.

And, most important of all, Occupy needs to get right back into the park, stronger than ever before. Show them that they can make things unpleasant, but they can not kill the spirit of justice. You can each contribute to something big, and something big needs to happen in America.

You can’t make them pay. Yet. You can make things awkward. You can make them inconvenient. You can make them expensive. You can make oppression more effort than listening.

This is a war on people who don’t want to spend anything on you. Make that impossible. It’s the only way to make them hear what you’re trying to tell them.
