up all you Ugly Mean Sons of BItche's,

Just looking at documentaries and found one that is particularly disturbing...a 12 year old sentenced to prison for 25 years...tried as an adult!...yes...it was for murder but this young boy is not a threat to society in my opinion...just made a very bad decision to help his friend in murder...

The other boy involved was 15 and decided to kill his step dad and asked for his younger friends' help...not premeditated as it was discussed only a few minutes before the murder occurred...so why did both receive such harsh treatment?...tried as adults and given 25 years in prison and will be thrown into the adult prison population when they reach the tender age of 18...

Although people need to feel safe...perhaps the judicial system is far too harsh...after all they are not adults...just foolish kids...they still can learn from their mistakes and become productive members of society...

Here is the documentary...what are your thoughts...

Ladies, its time to stop sending conflicting messages and sort out the hair pulling issue for once and for all. A lot of guys are uncertain whether it will be appreciated or not. Obviously its not cool to just pull the hair of a stranger on public transport for no reason, but if you have a nice meal of fish and chips, and things are going well, the conversation is flowing, at what point do you like your partner to grab a big handful of your hair and give it a good pull?

Since posting my blogs I,ve been coommented upon by several uninformed people that although I,m dyslexic It,s because I lack both interlect and a proper education.

men OVER 50 years old.... do you think still hot on bed?

Simply amazing that child s*xual predators are being hired by theme parks for children...I was shocked!! Although the crimes were not committed on theme park grounds...it still is disturbing...

Thank goodness the police are creating on line sting operations to nab these sick individuals...but is this entrapment?...police posing as young girls or boys on line to nab these s*xual predators...

Do you think we need to screen potential employees of these children theme parks with more scrutiny...such as a polygraph test?...

Here is a clip from CNN...

Indie publishing
1) Write your book
2) Put it aside for a month.
3) Read it, self-edit, and if you think it is now ready, send it to a couple of trusted readers (alpha readers) for feedback
4) Re-write it
5) Send it to test (beta) readers – a dozen is a nice round figure, male, female, different ages, different countries
6) Commission a cover from a professional cover artist who will have fonts and pics to which they own the copyright. This is important!
7) The beta reader feedback will show you where you haven’t made your point clear, or have been misleading. Rewrite.
8) Send the book to a professional independent editor. It will cost – but without editing, the best story will lose readers because the flood of little errors annoys and distracts them.
9) Publish.

Indie publishing isn’t policed in any way, which drives serious writers nuts. You can write anything you like today and put it on line tonight and order your friends to buy it. The average book sells 35 copies. Most sell two or three, especially of second books when the writer has run out of friends! Poorly written books with no editing and no input, often offered for free, have damaged the indie reputation - a lot of readers say they would never look at an indie book again. Every now and then an indie book has phenomenal success - 50 Shades is a fairly recent example – and sells in millions, but even those who bought it to be titillated sneer that the writing is appalling and it just proves all indie books are bad.

Being able to publish a book on-line at no cost created a tsunami – ten million and more books, many of which should never have seen the light of day, have hit the market and sent it reeling. There are still hundreds of books published every day, there are writing challenges like NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) to write fifty thousand words in less than a month (never mind the quality, feel the width) which launch hundreds of thousands more books in time for the Christmas ‘rush’.

The publishing houses hate it – obviously – and campaign all the time against it, especially because an increasing number of their best-selling authors are choosing to go indie. Why? Because publishers pay writers tiny percentages, pour most of their advertising and promoting into their top writers, and have total ownership of the books. If you are conventionally published you have little or no say over the cover, the editing, the marketing, and any opportunities that come up. Any advances paid are, usually, small, and when your books are returned unsold by bookshops, you have to repay royalties. Ouch.

Serious indie writers join associations like ALLi and work together. Publishing your own book is in no way a licence to print money (unless you write a 50 Shades) and for some who put out good stuff it still only brings in a couple of hundred pounds a month extra income. The more serious you are, the better you are at marketing and promoting, and the more books you have out there, the better you will do. Many of the writers in ALLi, however, are comfortably self-employed earning a couple of thousand pounds a month, employing assistants for research and formatting so they can concentrate on writing and marketing, and churning out a highly professional product. I’ll get there

You never know who's going to pop round for a cuppa.

Which do you think would you classify?

Small minds discuss people;
Average minds discuss events
; Higher minds discuss ideas
and Great minds act in silence.
Don't allow your brain to compare yourself to others as this is an insult to yourself.
