Lessons for Life: Much Ado About Imus

Don Imus used rapper and comic talk to describe a group of black basketball players. The words he used were defamatory and down right rude. Nobody would have noticed if he said those same words on the Daily Show or Comedy Central where filth abounds. Don Imus used the words to describe the young women of the Rutgers University Basketball team that played for the national championship.

Although the words were said in Don’s usual drown, they were picked up by the media and microphone-grabbing black activist. Indignation roared! Imus quickly apologized. After all, he was talking on cable where nothing is regulated and everything goes. On cable, vulgarity, jibes, and insults should not be taken seriously. In other words, he didn’t really mean what he said.

The media quickly picked up on the story. Although the young ladies, to their credit, were more tolerant to Imus than most blacks, the media furry cost Imus his job. Now he is out in the cold—where he probably belongs. He has a history of racial intolerance—as most everyone does— but his intolerance is a public record. Read my article at:

"Three Great Enchiladas From One Basic Recipe"

Enchiladas are good but a little variety helps. Here is how to make chicken, steak, and cheese enchiladas all at the same time. Oh, did I forget pork?

My son spent 2 years in Peru and likes enchiladas. As I say in the article, I made too many last night for a party and had enough left to feed an army. My son with his 13 kids is such an army.

He called me today and said that he had a steak and a chicken enchilada and that they were very good indeed.

He said the kids, who cook a lot, wanted the recipe.

I knew that would happen so I wrote the article this morning. It was approved by ezinearticles.com a bit faster than usual so I was able to just send the kids to tjbooks.com where there is a feed of titles and abstracts at the bottom of the page. One click and the kids have the recipe.

Writing 101: Writing the Keyword Article

Writing articles for the Internet is one way to drive traffic to your site but they must be read before anyone follows your links to your sites. Using keywords will help you write articles with a high hit number when folks search the web. Of current interest is Anna Nicole Smith who's keyword popularity was not in the top 300 last December but peaked to Number 1 soon after she died. She has dropped to #49 but that is still a very high rating and it could go higher if the media has its way by placing doubt on the cause of her death. Learn how to write, blog, and ping your articles for maximum readership and visits to your sites by reading my article:

Testing First or New Novel Writer Software

I decided to see how the First Novel or New Novel Writer software performed. I've used such software programs before and I wanted to see how this inexpensive performed. Other than not having a search function that I could easily find, I found the software efficient for choosing genre, defining characters, places, and objects.

As for the research function I found that I could verify historical information easily online as I wrote a novelette. I particularly liked the detail that could be added to characters and places and objects as I went along. I liked bringing in a new character and then immediately use the software to define the character. I could always refer back to my character on the fly and see if his eyes were green or blurred.

The Chapter headings were great. You click on the chapter and it tells you what to put into it. It gives an example from Henry Potter. I simply read the list of details expected in the chapter and wrote the chapter.

It took one week of part time writing to produce the novelette of 17,000 words. I could flush it out in a few weeks to the word requirement for the genre I chose of 50-200,000 words.

I decided to write a detective western in the very late 1800s. It is called The Hunt for Lester Gorney a story of the hunt for a rapist murderer who preys on teenage girls but will kill anyone that get in his way.

I used Peter Ott as my protagonist who my readers (both of them) will recognize from my novels, Bull where he is not the protagonist and Revenge on the Mogollon Rim where he is the protagonist.

You can read the novelette at www.tjbooks.com/novel.pdf Go to Adobe.com if you do not have the free access Adobe Reader. There is no charge but please do not infringe on my copyright because I don't have the money to sue you.

I ordered the mail version of the writing software and got it in a couple of days. That despite the program was developed in England. You may have the option to download the software.

UFO: Xrytspet Shows Me a Universe with a Yellow Glow

Xrytspet visited me yesterday and after we settled our differences on her tricking me and eating my Omaha Steaks, gourmet hamburgers and franks, and my beef stroganoff from the freezer in the garage she took me on a tour beyond our universe in the FnL7 Time Craft to show me how dumb I am on dark energy. Why we quickly returned from our space voyage. The article is at:

Writing 101: Character Motivation Requires Research

If your characters are not driven, your writing will be boring to your reader.

Note that I said, “reader,” not “readers.” The only reader will be you!

Nobody wants to read a "ho hum" novel or short story. We study Poe first then Gary Jennings, author of Aztec and other historical novels. I also point out motivation in characters in my western and detective novels.

The Stock Market Is Not Always Nice: What To Do When the Market Drops?

When the market drops, what do you do? During the mid-80s-flop my friend gobbled up quality stocks that had dropped in price, and because of the price drop, the yield (dividends) went up over 8 percent. That could be a consideration in these shaky times. My Hack Writer article is at http://www.ezinearticles.com/?The-Stock-Market-Is-Not-Always-Nice:-What-To-Do-When-the-Market-Plunges?&id=471209

Dark Energy: The Hack Writer Reads Scientific American

I’ve always liked cosmology, probably because my father often talked about it. The February 2007 issue of Scientific American has an article by Christopher J. Conselice entitledThe Universe’s Invisible Hand. Christopher is an astronomer and Lecturer at the University of Nottingham. He was at Cal Tech until recently.

I enjoyed the article. Chris explained how galaxies stopped merging and settled into regular shapes, how star formation dropped off, and how dark energy became a major player in our universe. Black holes have become quiescent (but don’t get too close.) All of this occurred when the universe was about half the age it is now.

I often tell my wife my theories on the universe. She politely listens. She has heard me say many times that black holes have to be one of the oldest features of the universe and did not form later by large mass concentrations simply grabbing up ancient matter. Yes, they grabbed up matter but they were already there. I no doubt will be proven wrong on this because I’m not an astronomer or an cosmologist.

I’ve never understood dark energy or its origin. But like my black hole theory, I now “know” what dark energy is. Dark energy is the very essence of the universe. Everything in the universe including the fabric of space was created by dark energy. In other words, all of the energy available to create the matter of the universe was not used up in the Big Bang. My black hole theory was based on what we engineers call incomplete combustion. If there is anything perfect in this universe, other than you and me, I haven’t seen it. Now, Christopher didn't say that dark energy is the essence of the universe. I did. But what was the catalyst for the Big Bang? My article is at
