Oh, BTW, I have this one photo of Bec smiling (a little evilly, I have to say) behind some Autumn leaves, and she looks like she could be NH's sister.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You are SUCH a lucky man.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I've seen people post treatises in (more or less) serial format, that is, divvy the work up into a series of connected articles. Any chance of doing so with your piece?
It would be tough, because he's said it's like a sandwich of two little sections around a big proof about how industry could be more efficient that takes up most of the length. Have you found any beta readers yet, Tyop Boy?

Tyop Boy?
There's something kinda endearing about a typo in Typo, ya know?
In other news, I should still be working. But really? I'm wasting time until Frontier House starts. I'm hoping for some actual blood shed this episode. Let's see what the Hatfields and the McCoys were really about people....

Julie, when you 'come out' you really 'come out' huh? Don't you think it's time to change your tag? (BTW tongue is firmly planted in cheek!!)
Should I mention exam stuff or not, are you on schedule?
Nou, I'm reading Gar's article but considering I'm a 'beta-ing newbie' with a few things happening at the moment, I'm sure the more the merrier if you want to help too.
(sorry I'm taking so long Gar)
Hey Julie, in all seriousness your thoughts this week have been well worth reading. Thanks.
and in fact I read some of your words as inferring that some of the discussions of late maybe played a small part in drawing you back in to posting which if true has helped me not feel too responsible for some of the stuff that has been happening (take a breath sorry for the run-on) and if I've read too much into your early posts it doesn't really matter and thanks for the nice words in B*reau the other day Nou :)

moonlit - I don't know about Julie, but I have huge heartin' for those who put the stuff they're really trying to say in small print, particularly at the bottom of their posts. Some people read those things as lawyerly disclaimers. Not me. Nope. I read them as the things whispered into a friend's ear, after the more public conversation. It just charms me.
Tyop Boy?

Plus this one so sweetly references the whole inisipipalicious vibe.

Don't you think it's time to change your tag?
Whatdyahave in mind?
Blow hard? :)
As for everything else, it's either guilty as charged. Or possibly, thankyou.
I'd whisper stuff, but the wee font tag isn't my friend. Inisipipish bugger that it is.

psssst Cindy,
What did you think of the Millman article linked in NAFDA?
and would I be overly or unfairly extrapolating from the thoughts behind your wonderful 'soul' posts that the 'free will' issues that are being discussed elsewhere must be ringing some rather large Pythonesque church bells in the Cindy brain (running on again take a breath) and I know I shouldn't discuss it in here so I'll stop now as this was really just an excuse to whisper sweet somethings in Cindy's ear
Eta: Julie, maybe 'breath of ...' and I mean as in FRESH air not HOT air. (hee, hee)

Hi Nou - yeah I have about six betas at the moment. And while they are looking I'm editing. Nothing that requires me to send a new version to the betas - I've improved the sourcing in the biomass section and stuff of that sort. I have chopped the introduction significantly - made it less awkward and shorter, changed some language I think was a bit offputting.
And I'm now thinking that when done, there may be a way to split it. The large section might be divided into two sections - one on efficiency, one on renewable sources. There are magazines out there who publish articles up to 8,000 words - including some dealing with left economics. And if I can deflate the article enough - cut it from 20,000 to 12,000 words - then I could submit it as a three parter to almost any appropriate publication. (Most publications will accept up t0 4,000 words.)

If I only had a brain...
I keep thinking you could submit it to the 1970s New Yorker. And that really doesn't help, does it?
