Natif de Los Angeles, Aceyalone a grandi au son de la funk, du blues et de Marvin Gay. À l'âge de 13 ans, il découvre la culture hip-hop et devient fan du rappeur RUN. Une anecdote raconte sa rencontre avec RUN DMC, accompagné de son complice Myka 9, où les deux gamins ont osé défier les stars du rap lors de leur tournée à Los Angeles. Cet esprit de compétition devient l'un des moteurs d'Aceyalone, l'amenant à exceller dans l'art du freestyle, faisant de lui une figure emblématique de l'underground californien.Vers la fin des années 80, Aceyalone s'associe à Myka 9, PEACE et Self Jupiter pour former le groupe Freestyle Fellowship, à l'origine de deux albums cultes, "To Whom It May Concern" et "Innercity Griots". Leur réputation s'est solidifiée au Good Life Café, un lieu emblématique au cœur de South Central, ayant réussi, au début des années 90, à transformer dans un quartier marqué par la violence, un café en un endroit neutre où seuls le processus créatif et le talent sont pris en compte. Les règles y sont strictes : seuls les plus talentueux survivent.Le Good Life Café est devenu une véritable institution du rap, où la contribution d'Aceyalone a joué un rôle majeur. Il a su se distinguer en développant un style de flow unique qui a influencé directement ou indirectement des artistes tels que Kendrick Lamar, Busta Rhymes, Bones Thugs and Harmony, mais aussi plus près de chez nous un groupe comme TTC. Il était donc logique pour nos Dj's de proposer ce mix sur Aceaylone, un artiste qui devrait être plus souvent cité dans l'histoire de cette foutue musique.Hébergé par Ausha.

I heard Bella's story first time at an event in Manchester. I was taken aback. Bella told her story about being the survivor of sexual assault, and I knew I needed to ask her to share with me on the podcast. Bella does so brilliantly and bravely. She's honest about her healing journey and the varying steps and challenges in putting her life back together after trauma.Bella started Consent for Breakfast (orginally known as To Whom It May Concern) as a means of amplifying the issues around consent, rape and sexual assault. We talk today about how this has created a whole new sense of purpose and direction in her life. Even though Bella would never have chosen this path, her healing journey has swung open a door to something way more meaningful career wise than she'd have planned for herself hadn't she gone through it. Bella is a living testament that the richness of purpose can contain a road to recovery that isn't planned or chosen but redemptive in its nature.Learn more at: instagram.com/consentforbreakfast/Keep being courageous,Rachael xWHO'S BEHIND THIS PODCAST?I'd ridden pretty high on the creative career rollercoaster.

There are others who did it. Who are right in the centre of figuring that out. I'm trying to find the people, I needed to hear, at the time I felt I was free-falling from the loop-di-loop.BUILD A CREATIVE LIFE YOU LOVEI've found creativity + courage = the best storytellers building a life they love.The stories we tell ourselves are powerful.I'm looking to find people who are building a creative life but it's not always been easy. Call On Courage posts the conversations I was looking to find when my career dreams were sliding out of view. Your creative life is worth making happen even when doors close or you're dealing with difficult people. I'm in your corner encouraging you to keep going.I'm not all over the 'Gram or Tik Tok famous.

B. Cox looks back at The Pharcyde's debut classic album Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde as it turns 30. In the midst of a genre shift of power over their home base of California, the former dancers turns emcees and producers released their debut album to little fanfare, but would become recognized in the industry for their easy going and humorous style.Produced entirely by group member J-Swift, the group (also made up of members Slimkid3, Bootie Brown, Fatlip and Imani) provided audiences of a view of living in Southern California that was noticeably different in tenor and landscape than most of their counterparts in 1992.Using humor, witty banter, clever bars with bravado laced with references of sex, weed and female entanglements catered to an audience seeking an alternative to the party and gangster rap that made West Coast hip-hop popular.The album released two notable singles: the wise-crack song "Ya Mama" and the classic single "Passin' Me By", which has become their more recognizable track to date. While not a commercial success, the album was critically acclaimed and largely credited along Freestyle Fellowship's To Whom It May Concern and Del the Funky Homospaien's I Wish My Brother George Was Here with helping to popularize the West Coast alternative hip-hop scene which helped lead to the success and visibility of later acts such as Hieroglyphics, Jurassic 5, Blackalicious, Dilated Peoples and more.Visit The Vault Classic Music Reviews Onlinewww.vaultclassicpod.comSupport The Vault Classic Music Review on Buy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/vaultclassicpodShow NotesAlbumism: The Pharcyde's "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde" Turns 30 | Anniversary Retrospectivehttps://albumism.com/features/the-pharcyde-debut-album-bizarre-ride-ii-the-pharcyde-album-anniversaryMedium: BackSpin- Pharcyde "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde"https://medium.com/@mediamaven0103/backspin-the-pharcyde-bizarre-ride-ii-the-pharcyde-1992-ca42ce00e88dAnywhere The Dope Go: The Pharcyde: Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde-Throwback Thursday Reviewhttps://www.anywherethedopego.com/the-pharcyde-bizarre-ride-ii-the-pharcyde-throwback-thursday-review%EF%BF%BC%EF%BF%BC/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vault-classic-music-reviews-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Tara Lipinski, the internationally acclaimed figure skater who won over the world's hearts when she earned the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Olympics - earning her the distinction as the youngest individual gold medalist ever in Winter Games history - has applied the same grace, finesse and assiduous character as a role model to empower a whole generation of young girls to achieve any goal they set their minds to. Tara was also recognized as the youngest ever World Figure Skating Champion and United States Champion. In the time since her Olympic triumph, Lipinski has taken the same championship-style approach to her roles as a TV sports commentator for NBC, NBC Sports and Universal Sports, an actress, a philanthropist and more. In following her love for performance as a popular professional ice skater into these new high-profile jobs, it is clear Lipinski was born to be a performer both on the ice and on the screen.Today, Tara is NBC's prime time figure skating TV Analyst, covering events like the World Figure Skating Championships, the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, the U.S. Figure Skating National Championships and the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. After her huge success at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, with NBC Sports, she was promoted to the NBC prime time team for the 2018 Olympic Games in South Korea. Aside from figure skating, NBC has enlisted Tara for its live event coverage of the Kentucky Derby, Super Bowl XLIX and 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Previous to her role at NBC, Tara attended Olympic Games where she worked with many of the world's top media outlets and partnered with sponsors, further burnishing her global stature as an iconic Olympian of accomplishment and inspiration.The strength of character, determination, expertise and Tara's infectious joie de vivre that has become her enduring brand can be seen in the golden moments of her winning Olympic performance, yet were instilled at an early age. It all began when as a three-year-old in Sewell, New Jersey, she started roller skating, and went on at age nine to win the primary girls freestyle title at United States Roller Skating Championships.At 13 years old, Lipinski went on to become the first female skater to land a triple loop/triple loop jump combination - a signature element of her performances. On reaching the amateur pinnacle of her sport with her Olympic achievements, Tara turned professional and proved her public appeal has a strong audience draw on such events as Stars on Ice, Champions on Ice and Ice Wars. She co-headlined with Scott Hamilton and Kristi Yamaguchi on the Stars on Ice tour and starred in the Pro Team competition Ice Wars that aired on CBS prime time.A deal with CBS Television resulted in her own primetime special, Tara Lipinski: From This Moment On, and led to dozens of cameo TV appearances and acting roles on such primetime series as Kidding, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Malcolm in the Middle, Veronica's Closet, 7th Heaven, and The Young and the Restless, among others.Tara also authored two bestselling books entitled Triumph on Ice and Totally Tara.Lipinski currently divides her time between Los Angeles and New York as well as the house she helped design on the South Carolina coast when she has time to get away from her busy career.ABOUT HER NEW SHOW WEDDING TALK, PREMIERING OCTOBER 13th CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL ENTERTAINMENT PUTS A RING ON THE ORIGINAL SERIES WEDDING TALK PREMIERING OCTOBER 13thDive into all things weddings with hosts Olympic gold medalist and commentator Tara Lipinski, event planner Jose Rolen and wedding designer Jove MeyerPremieres exclusively on the Chicken Soup for the Soul and Crackle free streaming appsCrackle Plus, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (Nasdaq: CSSE) company and one of the largest operators of advertising-supported video on demand (AVOD) streaming services, today announced the original series, Wedding Talk, starring hosts Tara Lipinski, Jose Rolon and Jove Meyer will debut October 13. Wedding Talk will be available exclusively on the Chicken Soup for the Soul and Crackle ad-supported streaming apps, as well as Chicken Soup for the Soul's free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel.Olympic Gold Medalist and Olympic commentator Tara Lipinski pivots from sports to fashion as she discusses all things nuptials with wedding planner Jose Rolon (New York's famous Jose Rolon Events) and leading wedding designer Jove Meyer (named Top Planner by Harper's Bazaar, Brides, and The Knot) during each 30-minute episode of Wedding Talk.The 10-episode series is a deep dive into stunning wedding footage gathered from Love Stories TV. The three hosts dish on the destinations, decor and - of course - the dresses, as well as every other element that makes these events momentous. This expert trio isn't about dragging the newlyweds down the aisle; instead, Wedding Talk is a celebration of every ceremony, a discussion of what's hot and what's not in the wedding industry today, and inspirational ideas for viewers to create their own dream day if they just open their minds to the possibilities.The series is executive produced by Jess Loren, Erick Geisler and Matt Hanna for production company To Whom It May Concern LLC, and executive produced by Michael Winter and David Ellender for Chicken Soup for the Soul Television Group and Rachel Silver of Love Stories TV."Our viewers are going to fall in love with the romance and emotion of the spectacular weddings featured in Wedding Talk," said Jeff Meier, head of programming for Crackle Plus.

"The diversity of their audience, as well as a passionate love for wedding content, reflects the variety and inclusiveness of the series and, like the couples we feature, will make for a perfect match!""We wanted to approach the wedding space in a very untraditional way," said Jess Loren, executive producer and founder of To Whom It May Concern. "Taking cues from the world of EDM, we created a clubby studio vibe with moody floral graphics, and metallic and neon accents on our new LED volume wall. Epic wedding films deserve an epic delivery on the production world's latest and greatest LED technology."

Stuart and Cristiano open the lid on the Bee Gees' ‘Life In A Tin Can' and discuss their (mis)interpretations and of the album's loose concept. Released in January 1973 - only three months after ‘To Whom It May Concern'! - and recorded in L.A. with arranger Johnny Pate, this is an album that saw the brothers covering new territory. Despite garnering little chart action, Stuart and Cristiano uncover ‘Life In A Tin Can's' ever-growing charm and appeal, with its matured songwriting, sophisticated arrangements, authentic instrumentation and heart-meltingly beautiful vocals from Robin.

Brady welcomes one of his favourite artists in Colicchie. This is a real dream come true. Colicchie's music helped Brady through some of his darkest days of addiction and maybe even more so now in recovery. Pittsburgh rapper Colicchie rose up from years of struggling with addiction to find success and hope in his music. A rapid decline into drug addiction in his teenage years led to troubles with the law and multiple stints in rehab in his early twenties. After getting clean at age 23, Colicchie began writing raps, turning stories from his tumultuous life into confessional, unflinchingly honest songs. Themes of addiction, depravity, and recovery came up time and time again in songs like "Drug Addiction," "Recover or Die," and "To Whom It May Concern." A video for "Drug Addiction" went viral in 2017, reaching millions of listeners, many of whom were struggling with addiction themselves and took inspiration from Colicchie's story. Check out Colicchie's music, available on all platforms. #addiction #colicchie #hope #recovery Subscribe to Coliccie's YouTube Channel
One startling new reality for the disciples-become-apostles was the abundance of the gift of grace which continually energized, motivated, filled, blessed, sweetened, their day in day out lives. The writers of the books of the New Testament regularly acknowledged it, not just as a standard letter-writing salutation with all the warmth of a ‘To Whom It May Concern,' but with live-edge relief and in-their-face, can't-breathe-without-it gratitude. Jesus' departure back to the Father and the subsequent arrival of the Holy Spirit initiated an era of ambassadorship through those men, the likes of which they couldn't possibly have dreamed. On the outside they remained as before, but on the inside, they went through the same ‘all things are made new' radical transformation as the one through which Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, empowers his Church today.
To Whom It May Concern 01/18/2022
"It would, when you're caught up, when you're actually caught up in the grips of addiction and all that, it's not like I could just stop, I needed to go to treatment. I needed to go to jail. I needed like something to happen in order for me to really hit that bottom." Pittsburgh rapper Colicchie rose up from years of struggling with addiction to find success and hope in his music. A rapid decline into drug addiction in his teenage years led to troubles with the law and multiple stints in rehab in his early twenties. After getting clean at age 23, Colicchie began writing raps, turning stories from his tumultuous life into confessional, unflinchingly honest songs. Themes of addiction, depravity, and recovery came up time and time again in songs like "Drug Addiction," "Recover or Die," and "To Whom It May Concern." A video for "Drug Addiction" went viral in 2017, reaching millions of listeners, many of whom were struggling with addiction themselves and took inspiration from Colicchie's story. Colicchie was born Chas Smith in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He grew up without a father, raised by grandparents who picked up the slack for Smith's mother, who dealt with addiction herself. He began experimenting with drugs in his early teens and was fully immersed in heroin and crack addiction by the end of high school. Years of substance abuse led Smith to a dangerous life on the streets and multiple overdoses, all bracketed by short-lived attempts to give drugs up. In 2005 he began rapping, using the creative outlet to support his efforts to stay clean. Performing around Pittsburgh and working toward recording music, Smith drew content for his songs from his own harrowing experiences with addiction and recovery.

To Whom It May Concern; THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING. Inspired by Jaypea
A year ago, most of us were speaking in meetings full of team members or giving presentations to rooms full of people. But those faces have now changed to boxes on a screen, and our messages have moved from in-person to virtual. Being an effective communicator is a challenge on its own, but doing it virtually adds even more complications. According to Matt Abrahams, co-founder and principal at Bold Echo Communications Solutions, virtual communication only accentuates the challenges we've always had with public speaking. He says being an effective virtual communicator requires overcoming three challenges: Getting and holding attention Being clear and concise Maintaining engagement Attention is the most precious commodity in the world today. When people aren't in the same room as the speaker, it's much easier for them to get distracted. It's up to speakers to hold their attention. Many of these challenges can be addressed by focusing on your audience. Abrahams says too many people are fixated on what they want to say instead of thinking about what would be valuable to their audience. He says speaking without focusing on the audience is like writing a love letter and addressing it To Whom It May Concern. Before preparing a speech or presentation, take time to reflect on who your audience is and what they need to hear. Once you understand your audience, you can structure your message to be clear and concise. Abrahams recommends structuring your communication to answer three simple questions: What? Say what it is. So What? Share why it's important. Now What? Teach what you can do with that information. Understanding the audience and following a structure creates a speech that is clear, concise and on message. People are much more likely to pay attention to clear content that applies to them. Doing the work upfront to understand your audience and structure your presentation can help overcome all three of the virtual communication challenges. Storytelling is also a valuable tool, especially for virtual communication. People connect with and remember stories far more than they remember statistics. Abrahams recommends having a goal for your story and telling it in six words. If you can convey your key point in six words, it can be your starting point for crafting a larger story. The best way to become a great storyteller is to practice and listen to other great storytellers. Even after the pandemic has subsided, virtual communication is here to stay. Abrahams believes that in the future we'll see a hybrid approach with both in-person and virtual speeches and presentations. Being a successful communicator in the future will require these strong virtual communication skills.

Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde is the debut album of American hip hop group The Pharcyde, released on November 24, 1992 through Delicious Vinyl Records and EastWest Records. The album was produced by former group member J-Swift, and features only one guest appearance, provided by little known Los Angeles rapper Bucwheed (known then as "Buckwheat" from The Wascals). In the years after its release, Bizarre Ride has been hailed by music critics and alternative hip hop fans, as a classic hip hop album along with Souls of Mischief's 93 'til Infinity, and has appeared in numerous publications' "best albums" lists.Released during the dominant Gangsta rap era of West Coast hip hop, Bizarre Ride was described as "refreshing" due to its playful, light-hearted humor and lush, jazzy production. Along with albums such as To Whom It May Concern... by Freestyle Fellowship, and I Wish My Brother George Was Here by Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Bizarre Ride helped establish a new alternative scene on the West Coast, followed by artists such as Hieroglyphics, The Coup and Jurassic 5. Despite its wide critical acclaim, the album produced only moderate sales, peaking at No. 75 on the Billboard 200 album chart in 1993. However, on the strength of the second single, "Passin' Me By", the album was certified gold in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on March 28, 1996

Tuesday Teaching Tip 226 Introduction Designing a presentation without an audience in mind is like writing a love letter and addressing it: To Whom It May Concern. Ken Haemer Parsons, Rob. The Heart of Communication: How to really connect with an audience . John Murray Press. Kindle Edition. Today we continue our series based on the book "The heart of communication: How to really connect with an audience" by Rob Parsons. In my "What we're reading (https://youtu.be/Pzd_3sc2h3U) " series I reviewed the full book (look for episode 49 (https://youtu.be/Pzd_3sc2h3U) ). In this series of "Tuesday Teaching Tips" we're going to take a bite-size look at each of his chapters to see what might be relevant for us. Today we look at the significance of remembering that we are talking to ordinary people Ordinary people Who are you speaking to? Do you know who they are? Do you know how ordinary they are? That's not to say they are not important. You are ordinary too! Most peoples challenges, most of the time, are not wrestling with the nuances of the atonement. They are, "How do I get through the rest of this week?" "How do I save my marriage?" "How do I help my child not to go off the rails?" "How can I pay the mortgage?" That's not to say theology is unimportant, I'd be the last person to advocate that position. It's just that all those hours spent studying can remove us from the realities of the lives of our listeners. How did Jesus speak to the crowds? He, “Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. He did not say anything to them without using a parable.” (Mark 4:33–34) Rob relates that these words changed the way he spoke forevermore: ‘Remember that when you preach, you will be speaking to ordinary people.’ What does this mean in practice? Two things to bear in mind: Don't "dumb down" your talk. That would be patronising. Examine your talk to see if people with a low level of education at a high level of education can get at least something from what you are going to say. They may not get everything, but will everybody get something? Bear in mind that not everybody needs significant academic or intellectual stimulation to be able to grow in Christ. Conclusion Theology is vital to our talks. However, if our approach to that theology is preventing us from connecting with our listeners, then adjustments need to be made. Questions: "Do you know your tendency? Is it to be too intellectual, or not intellectual enough? If there was a group in your congregation who might tend to miss out because of your approach, who might they be? What could you do to correct this?" Please add your comments on this week’s topic. We learn best when we learn in community. Do you have a question about teaching the Bible? Is it theological, technical, practical? Send me your questions or suggestions.

The Faction Election War Won (1) (audio) A Word For the 2020 Elections Rick Sergent - 11/12/20 I THE LORD SIT ON THE THRONE OF HEAVEN. I SEE THE SECRET DEALINGS OF EVIL MEN AS THEY COLLUDE TOGETHER IN DARKNESS. THEY SAY TO THEMSELVES, "WE GOT THIS NO ONE CAN SEE US NOR STOP US" I THE LORD SIT ON THE THRONE OF HEAVEN AND LAUGH AT THEIR PLANS, FOR THEIR PLANS WILL COME TO NOTHING. I THE LORD SIT ON THE THRONE OF HEAVEN. I LAUGH AT FACEBOOK, I LAUGH AT YOUTUBE AND OTHERS. I LAUGH AT THEIR FACT-CHECKERS. I THE LORD WILL CALL THEM OUT! I WILL SAY CHECK! THEY WILL MAKE ONE LAST MOVE, AND I THE LORD WILL SAY CHECKMATE! THEY WILL LOSE THEIR LIBERTY BECAUSE THEY ABUSED THEIR LIBERTY. I THE LORD SIT ON THE THRONE OF HEAVEN. I HAVE PUT A CROWN ON THE HEAD OF DONALD J. TRUMP, AND NO MAN SHALL TAKE HIS CROWN! FOR, I HAVE ANOINTED HIM AND APPOINTED HIM FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND. Garrett Crawford: This is a portion of the Dana Coverstone dream. Could this key be the key to the bottomless pit. The very key that unlocks hell on earth? (And releases the Demons in this war) The whole dream here: https://444prophecynews.com/those-that-refuse-to-get-ready-will-be-left-wanting-in-the-end-dana-coverstone/ Then I saw a Conestoga wagon with Kamala Harris driving it, led by two mules (The right and left of the Democratic party), and Joe Biden was riding the one on the left. At her side, there was the mechanical box that would trigger the dynamite and it (The plunger) was in the upright position. The wind blew the covering back to reveal several cases of older style dynamite and some just loose in an open wicker basket. (The unstable explosives that are dangerous to the ones who transports it). Harris began whipping the mules and hitting Biden as well with the whip. The mules started moving but Biden was oblivious as the wagon started picking up speed heading toward a target. Hillary Clinton was standing behind President Trump who was on his knees and she held a Roman Gladius knife to the left side of his neck. She was a wearing what resembled a Wilma Flintstone dress that was ugly and unfinished. (She has crude works) She had a very gaudy ring on her index finger that looked like it had blood on it. (representing her authority to bring death) There was a skeleton key hanging from her neck and was dangling in front of President Trumps eyes and it had blood and black mold all over it and it had stained the front of her dress with a stain that looked like the lightning symbol from the Nazi SS. (The Key to release demons of death on the earth. Rev 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. (Locusts are a class of demons. The Satanic D-S plan on releasing Witchcraft/Rebellion, anarchy, slander, lieing, murder, communist, demons loose on the US. The Nazi’s killed many Jews and twice as many Christians and in operation paperclip they were imported into what is now the CIA to infect them.) The wagon started picking up speed and Harris pushed the plunger on the trigger and jumped off of the wagon as it headed towards Clinton and Trump. (They will sacrifice their own, like Biden and Hillary, to try to get President Trump. And of course Harris could then be president.). Hillary’s face was giddy but I saw that there was a large animal trap close to her leg. (The beast will be caught in their own trap as the scriptures often show.) Trump grabbed the key hanging in front of him and pulled it down, then struck Hillary’s face with his fist as it came down. She dropped the knife and stepped into the trap and the President ran off quickly. (Psa 141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape.) (Garrett note: They think they have trump trapped and cornered. Now is the time they get rid of biden before inauguration day so Kamala can become president. Its the perfect setup.) I heard 3 handgun shots and watched 3 secret service agents in suits jump in front of all three bullets to shield the President as he got into the beast [presidential limo] and was taken away to safety. The secret service agents surrounded the car with muskets and no sunglasses on. (The D-S is desperate to get President Trump as they did JFK and Abe.) Hillary tried to pull her leg away but could not and the wagon struck her and there was a great explosion which damaged buildings and a big hole. It also threw the carcasses of the mules up on top of the building rubble where the smoke was coming off them like they had been grilled. (End of the Democratic Organized Crime Party) Biden was lying face down in the middle of the street with wheel tracks over him and a vulture was sitting on his head. Harris was crying in disbelief (That they missed the President) and her tears looked like they were the size of quarters. And I saw the church with a separation line and no middle ground left as sides had to have been taken. (There are still many leftists in the so called Church) There was fire on the altars in churches around the nation and fire moved on the heads of people who had been praying. (An outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Act 2:3 And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.) And above the heads of many people in the church I saw the actual question mark symbol above them and they appeared very confused by what they were seeing in the world and in the church. I heard a voice say: “Those who refuse to get ready will be wanting in the end so Brace yourself and tell others that I have warned them to brace themselves for they are about to see even more shocking things.” (Many are not preparing because they believe they will be raptured before they see any trouble.) The Lord has told us that some of this chastening can be lessened with prayer but that He will not completely remove this war. Some people will be removed from earth. Antifa And Black Lives Matter Are Coming Sandy Shaw 11/24/20 (David’s notes in red). In this dream, I know that the military is still all the way for Trump. They do not work for Biden. Its not just the National Guard and I know that the Marines are fully cooperating with Trump. And certain pockets of military are with Trump. In this dream, I’m sitting in the dinning room looking outside the window. I don’t see them, but I hear them, helicopters, and it reminded me of when I lived in California. It was like when the police were searching for criminals. So I started praying for whatever was going on. Then I started to have a vision. I saw a bunch of pickup trucks coming down the highway from a small town. They were full of people dressed in black. When I saw them, I immediately thought of Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM). And at the end of the truck caravan were old school buses filled with more BLM. They made a turn into the middle of town. Then the vision changes. There are military trucks filled with National Guards. There were ten trucks. They were ready with weapons. Then I saw the enemy get out of their trucks and run into the streets. There were hundreds of them running into the streets, shooting up the buildings and all of the old houses that were down town, breaking down the doors and killing people, putting buildings on fire and they blew up the post office. Nobody was safe! Antifa and BLM didn’t care who they killed; young men, old men, women and children. The National Guard had made it to the other side of town, near the post office that had just blown up. They stopped and I heard the words, “Get out and engage!” Some of the trucks, the military got out, and trucks kept going and got out at a different corner. They were at war. They were fighting. Two of the military trucks made it all through town. The national Guard was blowing up enemy trucks and their buses. The National Guard were finding people trying to hide. A guardsmen found a small group of people and said, “Go, run and hide in the hills if you can get there.” That’s when the man said, That town is already destroyed. Then the vision stopped, still in the dream in my dining room, Merlene, Amber, Angelica, Vanessa and Eve came to the front door. And someone said, “We came to clean your widows, wipe down the walls and mop the floors.” I said, “Wait a minute. You may not want to do that. Chaos and fighting is in town. So you need to go back home and stay out of town. Don’t let them see you, or you can stay here.” I said, “Listen. Hear the helicopters?” Then I woke up. Part Two, 11/25/20 It starts the same. But in a dream, when I have the vision, I’m standing on the ground. I can see in more detail. I heard in more detail their plans. They have been going around in different states, starting from one end in going to the other, killing people. Especially those who were for President Trump. But it really didn’t matter. They were going to finish “creating their new world.” There were more National Guard that were brought in, in helicopters. They were called snipers. The Lord had taken me to stores. There was nothing in any store, and they were all shot up. In restaurants, all the food was taken. Walmart was completely boarded up. But at the back of Walmart, I could see where BLM were bringing in things in crates. (Walmart staging area for the left) Then the vision ended. I was here in the dining room again. The women were coming into the room from the door. The only thing different was when the Lord said, “Call David, it hasn’t started yet. “I smelled the turkey and that woke me up. (So this may mean that at thanksgiving or maybe leftovers, the massacre had not started yet? The Supreme court has not ruled Trump as President yet but that could be the signal to start the anarchy.) I received these verses by faith at random. My finger came down on “narrow and wide gates.” Mat 7:13 Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many that enter through it. 14 For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Witchcraft Used in Church and State Factions Jeff Shaw, 11/19/20. (David’s note in red) (Pray for all the lawyers representing Trump and all those who fight against the demonic factions. The lawyers report that witchcraft is being sent against them.) In a dream, it was dark out and our house was dark as we just got in from going out and as I went to the living room door to turn the lights on at the switches and as I did. Xxxx (A witch and Judas who works for the factious leader and has tried to kill Sandy because her dreams are revealing their sins and plans. They have killed a few people who fell away and died shortly after they were attacked with witchcraft and slander. They have tried to kill me a few times.) tried breaking into our front door and I yelled to Tiombe to go pray.. go pray.. (The attempted break in is spiritual but real) Then I shoved Sandy into our room and shut our bedroom door.. Xxxx (the witch) tried to continually break into our house and I was fighting her off with the door.. I yelled at her, "YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED IN MY HOUSE!!” ("What we bind on earth is bound in Heaven”) Then I woke up... Demons Try to Kill Sandy Sandy Shaw, 11/21/20 (Don and Merlene transcribed). When I went to dialysis, the demons were running amok telling me I was going to die. And after hearing that for about thirty minutes, I said, “Tomorrow, is not promised to you and I know where I’m going.” The man sitting next to me, in his late seventies, full of demons and telling me of his sexual encounters with both male and female, trying to go into detail. I got so upset that I had to asked the Lord to forgive me. I didn’t want to hear what he was saying. And a simple quote, “I don’t want to hear it.” They had no effect on those demons, so I used some choice words out of anger. When I got home, I started having severe menstrual cramps. I have not had a cycle in ten years and now I was hemorrhaging. I called Merlene. She started a prayer chain. A couple hours later Merlene said everyone had prayed. I remembered when I told her I would wake up, I would feel refreshed, renewed and healed. PTL! The reason why I am sharing this, is how the enemy tried to put things on us to manifest the curse and to impart their demons. The Demons Threaten Sandy Shaw, 11/20/20 (Don and Merlene transcribed) In a dream I’m praying for the bulletin board and everyone on it. My prayer changed, I said, “Lord, only you know what can change hearts and bring them (the faction) to their knees. And I’m asking you Lord, how can I touch the hem of your garment to be pleasing to you. Teach me the words you want me to say that the enemy cannot take away. That’s when the enemy came in my dream saying, “Where are you? Was it your time? (They ask just such questions in the flesh to see if their witchcraft killed her but they always fail because their god is not the God.) God doesn't hear you. He doesn’t care about you. You’re nothing: you’re a nobody. It‘s almost the end of the year. And God is going to give me your life.” I remember saying, “Shut up. I’m so tired of your lies.” Trump Wins, Anarchy Begins Sandy Shaw, (Don and Merlene transcribed) (David’s notes in red) In this dream me and David are in the living room standing in front of an old console TV. It had a split screen. On the right side it showed the background of the White House and the commentator was saying, “It is now official, Trump has won the presidency. And it showed the number of votes for Trump and Biden. The other side of the screen, they were showing war in our cities. People were shooting at each other. The police, the National Guard were out. And we could see things exploding. Then the Pennsylvania governor came on TV and said, “Succeed, from the union?”(Which is the nature of faction) Then the Lord said to me, “It is time to go get Missy.” (Who lives in Pennsylvania which have cut themselves off from the states and probably during martial law so travel may be impossible except for God’s way.) I turned to David and said, “David, the Lord just told me, I have to go get Missy.” And he said, “Well...I think you better go get her then.” Then the Lord took me to Merle and Missy’s front door. When I knocked at the door, Merle answered it and was surprised. “Sandy, What are you doing here?” I said, “I come to get you and Missy.” And he looked outside and didn’t see any car. He said, “How did you get here?” I said, “The Lord brought me here.” I said, “Where’s Missy?” He said that she is in the house. She said, “I was watching for you.” Missy grabbed Merle’s hand and I grabbed Merle’s hand. Then we were in my front yard. Merle said, “What just happened?” I said, “The Lord just translated us.” Then I woke up. (Eve also had a dream they moved here. OK, with martial law and secession from the union travel any other way than God may be impossible during this civil war. “All things are possible with God” I have been translated in my body once and in a vehicle once and to make a flight that I had missed and was leaving the airport.) Hatred of the Factious Missy sent this to me. It is a letter that was put in a Trump supporters mailbox from an evil neighbor: To Whom It May Concern, You are receiving this letter as you still have Trump signs posted on your property. This is a reminder to you that every major news source, including Fox News, has called the race for Joe Biden. Even Pennsylvania GOP Senator Pat Toomey says that Donald Trump’s attempt to get state legislatures to “dismiss the will”of voters is “inconsistent”with a democratic society. By continuing to support Trump and his false claims of election fraud, you are actively threatening our country’s democracy and the will of the people. Election day was over three weeks ago. Your signs are a continual stain on our neighborhood and we ask that you remove them immediately. The community has its eyes on you and your ignorance is extremely unwelcome here. Every time my family is forced to drive past and Look at your signs, we are reminded of the immense hatred and welcomeness that Donald Trump and his followers have for people of color, members of the LGBT+ community such as myself, and literally every other minority group. It is time you take a step back and do some self reflection. Removing the Trump signs from your property is the least you can do to make up for the hatred you have helped spread throughout this community. I have taken the liberty of writing the names of some unbiased news sources on the back of this letter that I hope you choose to look into in the future. Additionally, I have attached a photo of Senator Pat Toomey’s latest tweet acknowledging Trumps defeat and congratulating President-elect Joe Biden. It is never too late to repent for the sins that you have committed However, should you choose to ignore this letter and the results of the election, this will not be the last you hear from us. Sincerely, Your Annoyed Neighbors Vision of the Lord Awakening Against His Enemies Marie Kelton 7/23/20 I had an open vision this morning during the prayer meeting. It was right after Judy finished talking about her verse. Act 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. I was looking at the sky through the opened door at Denny and Debbie's house. I saw the Lord Jesus in the sky, He was on a bed sleeping, but then he wildly woke up from it. This verse came to mind about the Lord waking up from sleep like a mighty man. Psa 78:65-66 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach. Also, when I saw the vision the song popped in my head "He's coming in the clouds king's and kingdoms will bow down.” Preserved From Destruction Claire Pienaar -7/23/20 I asked the Lord as I planned to drift off to sleep to show me where the attack was going to come from, as we’re in the midst of a beast/harlot faction in this little town. The Lord immediately showed me this vision while I was still awake: I saw myself on a stage in a huge, old fashioned theatre with tiered balconies, box seats and a gallery. I was on the stage down below. The stage took up the entire ground level of the theatre. I had a page-boy kind of haircut, and I was wearing a white flowing garment. My hands were by my sides, out-stretched with palms facing outwards (I think I represent the persecuted true church). I was watching myself from the vantage point of the left box up near the gallery. I saw snipers in black clothing everywhere, with silencer-guns. I saw red dots everywhere, showing the danger in this theatre coming from every possible direction. I saw myself in the cross-hairs. I prayed for protection for myself, and as the first bullet flew, I was covered by the biggest pair of wings I’d ever seen – easily twice the size of a man. I did not see who the wings belonged to, but these wings looked like large hands, folding over one another. No bullet could penetrate through that. I then saw an old-fashioned cartoon-like bomb drop from behind one of the stage lights that were directed straight at me. This bomb fell onto the wings but instead of exploding it remained suspended there – diffused, no longer burning and it tumbled to the ground gently. The words came to me: “Hide me under the shadow of your wings” Psalm 17:8 I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random and I received this – Luke 21: 20-22: But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand. Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein. For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. My finger was pointing to “mountains” and was on “let not them that are in the country enter therein”. I asked the Lord for another word by faith at random and received Micah 7:17 – 18, with my finger on “they will come trembling out of their dens”: They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places; they shall come with fear unto Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in lovingkindness.

Episode Notes Jummah Mubarak! Ramadan has started and another episode is here. Probably second to last for the season...Today's episode is a very special one since it is a crossover with another Muslim Podcaster. Well multiple podcasters. The Modern Skeptics are a group of 4 girls who produce a show called To Whom It May Concern. Here is what it is about in their own words: "To Whom It May Concern, Our opinions matter, but are rarely sought out. That’s why the 4 of us decided to come together every week to talk about how we view various issues as young, Muslim American women specializing in different professions. Through this podcast we’re hoping to build a network, promote dialogue, and connect with others who are dealing with similar issues. Join us on our journey as we talk about current events, politics, mental health, and fun light-hearted conversations. So kick back, relax, and turn that volume all the way up.Sincerely, The Modern Skeptics"And so that is what I did. I sought them out and asked if they wanted to share how Quarantine has been going for them. And it was amazing to hear. We dived into 4 very unique but intertwined lives that ranged from frontline healthcare workers to a law student wondering if the Bar is delayed. We talked book recommendations, daily routines, and how their podcast has been doing.

In 2014, I wrote the following email to a woman at the Tourette Association of America. -- To Whom It May Concern, First, though I am writing this letter to you today, I would ask that you do not share the following story publicly. At least for the time being. Last week, I wrote a friend of mine – a renowned storyteller and videographer – with the idea that my wife Jeanette and I have been considering: sharing our son’s story. And, inevitably, our story. As parents, painful as it is to admit, we didn’t do this right. You’ll see what I mean in the ensuing pages. In conclusion to this story, I have attached a brief write up as penned by Nolan, detailing his experience. The combination of our narratives should give you a clear picture of what the past few years have been like. We haven’t shared this story with anyone. Given Nolan’s current acting and modeling career, we’ve been cautious. We don’t want to ruin his shot at growth within the industry he loves. How, then, can we share our experience in such a way that it doesn’t come across as crippling, but rather: empowering? At this point in our journey, it is finally becoming the latter, but the road has been long and lonely. Only a few people know about what I’m here to share, which I would assume is similar to many of the stories you hear. Read more at www.CraigBrain.com

Rekka:00:09 Yes, yes, and also. Kaelyn:00:11 But wait, there's more, there's more. It is also Book Day for Rekka Jay! Rekka:00:17 Well, RJ, Theodore, Kaelyn:00:19 RJ Theodore. Rekka:00:19 Wherever she is. Kaelyn:00:20 Wherever she is. RJ Theodore, author of Salvage the second book of the Peridot Trilogy from Parvus Press, released today. Um, so yeah, big day for Rekka. Very exciting. How you feeling? Rekka:00:31 I'm feeling oddly calm about, Kaelyn:00:33 Well, that's because we're recording this before it's actually happening. Rekka:00:36 Yeah. That's the truth. Kaelyn:00:37 It's still, it's still, it's still happening. Rekka:00:40 It's still coming up. Yeah. Gosh, yeah. Now, now you're getting me nervous. Kaelyn:00:44 And so, uh, yeah. So today, today's records book day, very exciting. Rekka:00:47 So if you are listening to this live or otherwise, you can go find yourself a copy of Salvage, um, and if you don't have the money to buy a book, you can request it from your local library, which also would be very - Kaelyn:01:00 That would be fantastic. Um, also today, you know, maybe you could show Rekka a little love, tweet her some, uh, some congratulations, some support. Um, you know, if you listened to the previous episode as, you heard that uh book launch days are stressful. Rekka:01:16 Stressful, a little weird. Kaelyn:01:17 Anticlimactic, yeah. Rekka:01:19 A little quiet, I work from home, so it's just like me alone in my office and nobody's blowing birthday noisemakers or anything. Kaelyn:01:27 Well, now, guess what we're going to do. So, yeah. Anyway, we're, we're really excited for Rekka's book launch and um, we're also super excited for Submissions September. I'm real, I'm giddy excited about this. Rekka:01:41 Kaelyn may be slightly more excited than I am. Kaelyn:01:43 Um, yes. So, you know, we've been a teasing slash threatening this for awhile. Um, so we're doing four episodes and actually it's going to be five episodes, it looks like. Yeah. Rekka:01:54 At least. Kaelyn:01:54 In September. Um, so this is our schedule this week, um, you can see from the title of the episode, we're talking about preparing your submission. Um, we're gonna talk a little bit about getting your submission ready and then actually submitting, which is a lot of me ranting. Rekka:02:10 There is a launch sequence. Please adhere to it for everyone's safety. Kaelyn:02:13 Yeah, which is a lot of me ranting about submissions, guidelines. So, you know, just a, just a warning, get ready for that. Um, next week, September 10th, we're going to be talking about query letters, uh, their function, how important they are, how to some tips for writing them and what they should be doing. Rekka:02:31 Yep. And also, you know, we, we talk about getting your stuff ready for submission in this episode. It doesn't mean yeet it. Kaelyn:02:40 Yeah, sure. Rekka:02:40 After this episode, keep listening. Kaelyn:02:42 Keep listening. Rekka:02:42 We've got more good stuff for you, the rest of the month. Kaelyn:02:44 September 17th is agent's week. We're going to be doing two episodes of. Rekka:02:50 Right. And that's, that's the one that's like, oh, okay. So one a week, but also a fifth one. So we've got a lot of great people who volunteered to come on and give us some of their personal experiences, including an agent. Um, maybe, you know, like if we have more than one at that, after we've recorded this, then we'll include more than one. But, um, so we're going to split that up into an episode up from the agent side. And one from the author side. Kaelyn:03:15 Yes. So, um, I know that's something we're, we're really excited for that because that's something that a lot of people, um, are in the dark about. Rekka:03:22 Yeah. And it's the big scary part because that's like quote gatekeeping. Kaelyn:03:26 Yes. Rekka:03:27 So this is the part where people start to get very nervous. This is the judgment before people even read your book thing. Kaelyn:03:33 Yes. So then finally, September 24th, we're going to be doing an episode about what's going on on the other side of things where me, for instance, an acquisitions editor. What I'm doing when I'm getting submissions, what I'm considering, how I'm reading things, how I'm responding to them, et cetera. Um, so we still have some time for if you have a few questions for now. Rekka:03:58 Like if you're listening now we can probably get your question in at the end of the month. Kaelyn:04:02 Yes. So we were talking about, you know, potential six episode of if we have a bunch of questions doing an doing kind of a wrap up episode, um, you know, if there's any topics that people were particularly interested in or things they wanted to engage in more, um, you know - Rekka:04:18 Or if we have, we muddied the waters for some reason. Kaelyn:04:21 Yeah. Or if you're very confused. And, um, so, uh, you know, if we have enough we'll probably maybe do something with that. Rekka:04:30 Yeah. Kaelyn:04:30 In the end of the month. So we're really excited for this. I um- Rekka:04:36 She smiling's it's just like teeth all over the place here. Kaelyn:04:39 Yeah. We were talking about, you know, um, but we do organize shows ahead of time and you know, plan out what we're going to say. And we were kind of mapping out for the next couple of months, um, what we're going to talk about. And there were a lot of topics related to submissions and the more we looked at it, we were like, maybe we should break these instead of breaking these up. We should put them all together. And then it's like, okay, well we've got about three or four episodes of material here, but then doing them every other week is kind of - Rekka:05:10 It's like months and months of just one topic. Kaelyn:05:12 Yeah. And it's also sort of disrupting the flow. So we thought that this would be good, you know, for four topics, four weeks submission, September. And I'm that way it's kinda taking you through a process and hitting different points of things that are going to happen. So, um, we're really excited to do this. We hope it's going to be entertaining and informative as always. And Yeah. Rekka:05:37 And so here we go. Kaelyn:05:38 Uh, hope you enjoy the episode, everyone and, and the rest of Submissions September and we'll see you next week. Rekka:05:45 Yes. Kaelyn:05:57 [inaudible] Kaelyn:05:58 Rekka first episode, Submissions September. Rekka:06:00 Yes. Kaelyn:06:01 This is very exciting. Rekka:06:02 It's, I'm a little distracted again today though. Kaelyn:06:04 Is something happening? Rekka:06:08 She forgot me. Kaelyn:06:09 I never forget you! Guys Rekka's book comes out today. Rekka:06:12 Yes. Kaelyn:06:13 Book Two of the Peridot Shift trilogy. Salvage. Rekka:06:17 Salvage came out today and so it's my book birthday. It's a big day. It's also the first day of Submissions September. Kaelyn:06:24 Yeah. But real quick, let's go back to you. So if you're listening to this tweet Rekka some, uh, some love and encouragement @bittybittyzap. Yeah, she would very much appreciate that. Rekka:06:34 I would not be, um, against the idea of getting some, some call outs on Twitter and stuff like that. Positive call outs. Um, because book days book birthdays are lonely for some reason. Kaelyn:06:47 No, it's not. You're here with me. I. Rekka:06:48 am here. Kaelyn:06:49 Yeah. Um, cause we're recording this exactly on September 3rd. Rekka:06:54 Totally. Kaelyn:06:55 Yeah. Yeah. Um, but it is also, this is the first episode of submission September, which we're, so I'm, I'm really excited to do this and it's because I get to yell about a lot of stuff. Rekka:07:06 Kaelyn's been like building up and building up and building up things to say about this for awhile. Kaelyn:07:11 Oh, the thing is I tricked Rekka into this and because before she, she agreed and then before she knew it, she was like, oh, this is a manifesto as told through five podcast episodes. Yeah. Oh that's right, everyone. Rekka:07:24 Potentially six. Kaelyn:07:25 Potentially six. There's- Rekka:07:26 She's already threatened there might be six. Kaelyn:07:27 There's already, possibly six. There's definitely five. Rekka:07:30 Why not 20? Kaelyn:07:31 We've got, we have some really good stuff coming down the pipeline. Um, um, so yeah, today we're talking about preparing your submission, um, and getting it out into the world and seeing if anyone wants it. Now, um, I'm going to qualify real quick here that I am treating this the same as if you're preparing to submit or query to an agent or if you are submitting directly to a publishing house because these rules apply to both situations. Rekka:07:57 Right. Kaelyn:07:58 And there are rules. Rekka:07:59 So you know how you try to go out to high school wearing your really cool new like accessory or whatever and you try to get out of the house before mom sees you and then like you hear her call you back from the other end of the, she's like in the kitchen and you just like, can I make it in the door? Like, just won't open. This is like Kaelyn is calling you back from submitting whatever you were going to submit. She just wants to check just your ready. Kaelyn:08:24 Look - Rekka:08:26 It's out of love. Kaelyn:08:27 There's a lot of moving pieces here. Um, so we're going to kind of break this down into two parts. One is preparing your submission, which is how do I know this is ready to be put in front of people. And the second is going to be submissions guidelines. And I apologize in advance for how excited I am to talk about submissions, guidelines. Rekka:08:48 Near and dear to Kaelyn's heart. Kaelyn:08:49 Yes. Um, so the first, the big question, how do I know this is ready? How do I know time to send this out to people? Rekka:08:56 As a writer, I've been working on my story forever. I've been revising it a lot. I don't know if it's good enough. I mean that's why I'm sending it out cause I'm asking, please tell me, but this is good enough and you know, at what point do I stop fiddling with it and start finalizing it and send it out. Kaelyn:09:17 So I kind of always think of this as, you know, they say like if you make a journey by halves, half of the distance at a time, you'll never actually get there. It's kind of the same thing. You're down to a millimeter. And if you keep dividing it, you're just, you never going to get there to a certain point, you do take a step back and say, okay, this is done. So when do you submit it? The answer that I know everyone's going to love is when it is the best possible version it can be. Rekka:09:48 Another way I've heard this phrased is that when you can invest more time in it and the return on that investment of time is not significant. Like if you could make another revision pass, but if you were just like - Kaelyn:10:04 If it's not going to help, that's when you know the half journey. You're not, you're not getting any farther at this point. Rekka:10:10 Yeah. Kaelyn:10:11 Um, so we have talked about, you know, this, uh, episode two we talked a lot about, you know, pre-acceptance of your work and, um, then also working with an editor. Um, so hopefully we won't go too much into that. Again, probably people have already read it. If you're working with a freelance editor, if you've gotten notes, if you've had some Beta readers, um, you - Rekka:10:34 Hopefully, it's not just you at this point. Y. Kaelyn:10:36 eah. Yeah, I mean, you know - Rekka:10:38 It might be, but like, you know, if you haven't found anyone who's interested in it, it might be that you need to work on your pitch and maybe you're telling them too much before they open it up. But, um, you can hire people to read it if you are really not sure. Kaelyn:10:53 Yeah. Rekka:10:53 But chances are you're pretty confident in this thing. You're proud of it. You, you want to send it out. Kaelyn:10:57 I hope so. Rekka:10:58 Yeah, you should be. Kaelyn:10:59 So that's the story state of things. When you're ready, when it is the best possible version it can be and you can't do much more to it right now. The other side of things from besides story is mechanics and style and grammar. When is that ready? Now I will say acquisitions editor. I do not expect to get submissions that are perfectly copy edited. There's a reason we have copy editors. It's because those that's hard to do. Rekka:11:30 Yeah. Kaelyn:11:31 So that said, please use periods please capitalize. Please have a basic understanding of how commas work. Rekka:11:44 Um, if you run this through like grammar check in word or you get Grammarly and you run through and you disagree with every suggestion, every suggestion, you probably need to reconsider your stylistic choices. Kaelyn:11:59 Yes, definitely. So with knowing when your submission is ready in that regard, do basic writing checks, make sure that your grammar, punctuation, spelling is correct to the extent that you can get it. Like I said, no one is expecting a professional copy edit here, but watch for egregious errors. And I'm going to say something a little, I won't say controversial, the beginning of this is the most important part. If you can't, if you don't have time to comb through every single page of your manuscript, please for the love of God, at least do the first 20%. Um, because me the acquisitions editor, that's what I'm going to read first. And insider secret, I know people are doing that and I appreciate that. Now that said, if I get through your first 20% of your book and it devolves into, you know, misspelled words and abstract punctuation and you know, some really interesting uses of commas, I'm, that's gonna be a major red flag for me. So, but please pay extra special attention to the beginning of your book. Please, please proofread and closely check the first page of your book. Rekka:13:22 And I'll say it again. If you haven't read your entire book out loud yet, do that. Like, that's, Kaelyn:13:26 Yeah. Rekka:13:26 That's a good step to um, to making it more legible and definitely catching things that you haven't seen because you've looked at it too much. I think it's always important at least once in your books, you know, existence, um, to read it aloud. And if major changes happen, then it's always good to read new sections. Kaelyn:13:45 Absolutely. Rekka:13:45 So here's a really good place where you're going to catch stuff where you went, oh, I didn't even realize I did that. And it'll make your editor a little less mad at you. Kaelyn:13:52 Yeah. Um, one of the, you know, I think I've mentioned this on, on this podcast before, but I use what I call the Colin Coyle method. Colin's, the publisher at Parvus Press. And he always says, your first sentence is buying me your first paragraph, first paragraphs, buying me your first page. First page is buying me your first 10, first 10 buying me your first chapter. You are trying to get me to keep reading. Now part of that is story which, you know, I, I can't help you or offer advice on that in this context, but I can tell you that your grammar, punctuation and spelling is something that I'm going to be paying close attention to there. So - Rekka:14:31 Yeah. Kaelyn:14:32 Just please make sure, check the beginning of your book. That's very important. It's important throughout, but especially the beginning because that's the first impression you're making on me. Um, that's, you know, and you're going, well why is that such a big deal if you're going to get a copy editor? Because a couple things. One, it's setting the tone of your book. And I don't mean that in terms of story or style. I mean that in terms of what kind of a writer are you? Um, it's showing me that you're paying attention, that there's attention to detail and that's giving me a sense of what it's going to be like to work with you. Because if I'm getting a book through submissions and it's a mess in the first chapter, I'm going, well, this person doesn't care that much. I have other people here who put a lot of time and effort into getting this to a point that they want me to read it and this person just slapped some stuff together and sent it to me. That's, and it's wasting my time to now. So that's just gonna start off with leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Rekka:15:37 Right. But then plus every strange choice or, um, you know, uncaught mistake is a potential like tripping point where an editor might get, it, might be enjoying the story, but then they get popped out because like the sentence doesn't actually finish and, you know, go straight to the next paragraph, um, without, you know, the second half of the last sentence or something like that where you go, oh wait, and then you're out of the book, you're back in your room and you're wondering if you want to keep going. Kaelyn:16:06 I've had submissions where, um, I've had repeated paragraphs one right after on the first page, first page, repeated paragraphs. I've gotten ones that have really bad spelling errors in the first sentence. And it's not like they fat fingered a keyboard here, you know, like I've seen that and it's kinda like, alright, they were obviously just, you know, doing one last check through, accidentally leaned on the x. You know, it's, that's, that's fine. Um, but like first sentence spelling error is not, you know, that's not, it's not a good look for you to start with. Um, so please, you know, check, spend some time and do this. I know it can be boring. I know it can be a lot and I know it can be mind numbing, Rekka:16:54 But if you don't want a publishing deal bad enough to put this effort into exactly. Because you're going to be doing this a lot. Like there are more edit versions to come. Kaelyn:17:05 And that's what I mean when I say this is showing me what you're going to be like to look at. Because if I'm your editor and most any editor, I would hope you're not getting away with anything. Rekka:17:16 Right. Kaelyn:17:17 Um, if I put a note in your manuscript and you ignore it, that's going to be a problem. So it is a, it is a first impression. Your first page is trying to hook the, the editor, but it's also making a first impression. Um, so please pay attention to these things. Um, again, especially the beginning of the book, especially your first sentence. Um, because it does, you know, it's not like, oh well, whatever. It's just one little thing. No, it is showing so much about and what you would be like to work with. Rekka:17:51 Right. Kaelyn:17:52 It's very important please, I get hundreds of submissions every time we open for submission. So if it's a matter of the first person who couldn't be bothered to spellcheck their document Rekka:18:05 And spellcheck is on by default in most cases, if it's giving you a red squiggly line, consider you spelled it wrong. Kaelyn:18:11 Yes. Well assuming you know it's actually a word and not something - Rekka:18:15 Right, yeah, I know we're talking genre fiction. So you know, the spelling of your characters name may always get a red squiggle, but that doesn't mean like turn off your perception of red squiggles. Like scan the documents, see what else is, you know, coming up as an error. Kaelyn:18:29 Yeah. So if it's a choice between someone who couldn't be bothered to spell check the document and someone who clearly put a lot of time, work and effort into being careful about this, guess who I'm going to be more interested in working with? Rekka:18:39 Right. Kaelyn:18:39 Um, I will say, you know, and a big thing at Parvus is we're very into getting good stories. But if it's a good story from someone, that's going to be a nightmare, we don't want. Rekka:18:51 Right. Kaelyn:18:51 Um, a big part of this is figuring out can we work with this author? Do we want to work with this author because this is my time and my hours out of my life. So I'm not going to put that into something with someone that I don't want to work with. Rekka:19:08 And there is a certain percentage of your decision that's going on, gut feeling. And so these kinds of obvious disregard for your time, Kaelyn:19:17 Oh yeah, they're massive red flags. Rekka:19:18 Massive red flags, and they're going to send your gut feeling. Kaelyn:19:23 Exactly. Um, so your book is in the best possible state it can be You've spelled checked it, other people have read it, you're ready to go. So we're going to do more on a querying and how you find these places. Um, but, and again, for the purposes of this, we're lumping publishing houses and agents together. Rekka:19:46 Right. Kaelyn:19:47 Um, you query an agent, you submit to a publishing house, but it's tantamount to the same thing. Rekka:19:53 Right. Kaelyn:19:54 So what you're going to do is look for people that are open for considerations. For agents they'll say, I'm open for queries for publishing houses, they'll say, we're open for submissions. The first thing you want to do is do some research on this house or person. Rekka:20:09 Right. Kaelyn:20:10 Look at what they're interested in and where you will find this right off the bat is in their submissions guidelines, Rekka:20:19 Right. Yes. Most of the time they will tell you exactly what they are not looking for and if it's in that list it means they are sick to death of it. And you are no exception to that rule. Kaelyn:20:28 Yeah. Your book is probably not so special and interesting and unique that it's going to change their mind. Rekka:20:34 Right. So if they say no zombies and no werewolves, no, vampire romances is just - Kaelyn:20:39 Just don't. Rekka:20:40 - don't, and you've written that, don't, don't go for that. Kaelyn:20:43 Um, the other thing you should be doing though is looking at either, you know, other authors that the agent represents and the kind of stuff they write or in the case of the publishing house, the other things they've published. And just kind of see like where you would fit into this. Rekka:20:58 Yeah. Kaelyn:20:58 Do your research on these things. It's really important. Especially I would say, especially with publishing houses, you know, check them out, make sure that you know, this isn't some kind of predatory vanity press. Um, and with agents, um, good agents by the way, if you know they're interested in working with you, if you ask them, you know, can I talk to some of your other clients? They'll have no problem with that whatsoever. Rekka:21:22 Because they don't want you to talk to other clients, you probably don't want that agent. Kaelyn:21:26 That's a big red flag right there. Um, so, but submissions guidelines, what this is going to be is kind of two parts. One is what I'm looking for and what I'm not looking for, like the kinds of things that we're publishing. And then the other is, here's how I want you to get your submission together in order to present it to me. Rekka:21:45 Yep. Kaelyn:21:46 I think people do not take these seriously enough. Rekka:21:52 Or it looks like a big overwhelming bit of text. So they just do the best they can. And they have a manuscript that they um, they have made sure is in a standard manuscript format and they just throw it on over. Kaelyn:22:04 And why do they like what's so special about them? Why do they want it in this format? Because they're the one who's doing this and they get to say so, right? Rekka:22:10 They get to say so and they probably have a good reason. Like this is worked out for them in the past. It makes their job a little bit easier and makes them less cranky when they approach the submissions, which is exactly what you want. Kaelyn:22:21 But I will say their reasons for it are none of your business. If that's how they want this, then - Rekka:22:26 It's not up for debate. Kaelyn:22:27 It's not up for debate. And if you want to submit to them, that's how they do it. Um, I have had people write to me and say, well, I really don't want to do this because, and my answer is I don't care. Rekka:22:40 Yeah. Kaelyn:22:40 You know, like I write them back and go, well listen, you can submit however you want, but if you don't follow this submissions guidelines, there's a very good chance that this isn't getting looked at. Rekka:22:48 Right. Kaelyn:22:48 Um, so the other part of the submission guidelines are going to be do this, do this, don't do this. I want it in this format. Um, for publishing houses, I know for us we ask for a query letter and then your entire manuscript. Rekka:23:05 Which is not 100% of the time common. Kaelyn:23:09 Um, it depends. Yeah. You know, some, uh, I know a lot of agents now are that used to be a thing. Agents wanted your first a few chapters and a lot of them now are saying, I want your entire manuscript. Um, and this is kind of going into how it's easier to transfer digital files. Before agents didn't want your entire manuscript. They didn't want a hundred pages. They wanted the first few chapters. Rekka:23:31 Right, because these were arriving in a mail room. Kaelyn:23:32 Exactly. Now it's, you know, there's um, you know, you have like a submissions manager and it's really easy to go into. Um, we ask for, you know, your entire manuscript. I think a lot of publishing houses that do open submissions, we'll ask for your entire manuscript. A lot of agents are asking for entire manuscripts now, so if somebody asks for your entire manuscript, send the entire manuscript. One of the reasons that we do this is I want to know is this done? Rekka:23:57 Yeah and does it end okay? Kaelyn:24:01 Yeah, that's another - Rekka:24:01 I mean, you may not make it that far. Kaelyn:24:03 But well, if it's something I'm strongly considering, then I - Rekka:24:06 You jumped to the end. Kaelyn:24:08 I want to read it and you know, at least get an idea of where it's going, make sure it doesn't completely go off the rails. Um, but that's a question. You know, like when I, every time we open for submissions, I get at least a dozen or so that are like, here are the first five chapters of my book. And it's like, well, yup, out the door. But also the big thing is I'm wondering is, is this finished? Is this all you've written of the book? I'm not going to wait a year for you to finish writing this. Um, there will. So that's one thing, you know, they're gonna say, I want to these things, I want to query letter, I want the entire manuscript, I want a little bit of a bio from you. Maybe you know, that kind of stuff. Then there will be other guidelines with say a word count. Um, Parvus we have a 60,000 minimum for novels. Rekka:24:59 Yup. Kaelyn:24:59 And again, I constantly get emails going, mine's at 45. Is that okay? No, it's not. Rekka:25:06 It's not 60. Kaelyn:25:07 And is that less than 60? Rekka:25:10 There's your answer then. Kaelyn:25:10 No, it's not. Okay. Please don't go into this thinking I'm special. Rekka:25:19 Truly, I am the exception to this unnecessary rule. Kaelyn:25:23 Yeah. Mine's 45,000 words, but it's a really solid book and I think you guys should definitely take a look at that. And what that's saying to me is I do not want to take a look at this and I don't really want to work with this person. Yeah. Um, pay attention to the submissions guidelines. If they say they want anonymous submissions, make sure you have that. Rekka:25:45 Yeah. Kaelyn:25:46 You should have a version of your manuscript with all of your personal information scrubbed from it. Well how do they know how to get in touch with me then? Rekka:25:54 Their system is set up. Kaelyn:25:55 Don't worry about that. That's when you, you know, for us, for instance, our submissions manager, you have to register your new username. It's um, so we'll find all your information in there if we need to. We'll go look it up by manuscript ID and be like, okay, this is how I get in touch with this person. Don't worry, they'll figure out how to get in touch with you. They've done this before. Um, read the submissions guidelines, follow them. This is the easiest, silly thing you can do to immediately get yourself knocked out of consideration is not following the submissions guidelines. Why is that, Rekka? Rekka:26:33 Because if you want to have a professional relationship with a publisher, you need to show them that you are professional. And the easiest way to do that right from the start is to follow the submissions guidelines and give them exactly what they're looking for and nothing they aren't. And also, you know, just not proving that you're going to be difficult at every stage of the process. Kaelyn:26:57 Exactly. It's. Rekka:26:58 Speaking of being difficult. Hey, as a publisher, will you sign an NDA before I send you my, my manuscript? Kaelyn:27:06 Oh God. Yeah. Um, here's this is, I am not sure, [laughs] Rekka's watching me like make like very exasperated facial expressions and like - Rekka:27:18 I can't see past your hands what youre expression. Kaelyn:27:20 Like that are just like covering my face. Like, I don't know where this paranoia comes from. And in some cases that's the only way I can. Rekka:27:33 Somewhere there's an urban myth or it's probably happened. But somebody sent a manuscript off to somebody, they said, no thank you. And then a book came out that was awfully similar. So that author of course assumes that it was stolen and maybe, you know, like I said, there's probably cases where it did happen that way, but an NDA isn't going to stop the publishing house from doing that anyway. This is why you research a publishing house before you submit. Kaelyn:27:54 Yeah. I mean if, if that happens to you, then you've got amazing legal recourse because in this day and age, everything is digitally tracked. Rekka:28:03 So that it's not like you're sending off sheets of paper, they just tear your name off the top. Kaelyn:28:10 Um, don't make ridiculous, outlandish requests. If anyone emails me and says, can you sign this NDA? I'm not even going to respond to them. Rekka:28:20 Right. Kaelyn:28:20 That's like, and that's telling you how difficult they're going to be right off the bat. And plus that aparent level of paranoia is going to pervade through the entire process. Rekka:28:28 But also it's showing me I don't trust you. Kaelyn:28:30 Yeah. Rekka:28:31 Why? Like hold on, why do you want to work with me? Kaelyn:28:33 Right. Um, and there's a lot of trust that goes into what's gonna come next. Yes. And it's setting, well, I can't say it's setting a bad tone for a relationship because there isn't going to be your relationship at that point, but you really need to reevaluate what you're doing., if you think that everyone you need to send your book to your manuscript to, it needs to sign an NDA. Rekka:29:02 A publisher sees so many books and if they have an open call for submission, they're looking to buy books. So if you have a great book, they're going to buy it from you. They're not going to steal it from you. Kaelyn:29:13 Yeah. Because I mean alternatively we're just going to publish it as from this publisher? Who's going to be the author. So do I take it and do I take it and give it to another author? What would be the point of that? It's so don't, don't be obnoxious. I like, that's the only way I can come up with to describe that is that's borderline obnoxious. I'm sending these sort of things, making demands of the publisher and look, the power dynamic here is definitely a little weird. And if you're a writer, not great because the truth is you don't have much if you're doing an open submissions call. So don't send NDAs to people. Um, but yeah, and back to Rekka's point. This is showing me what it's going to be like to work with you. If you can't follow a set of directions that doesn't bode well for the time, money and investment we're going to put into you. For agentss it's the same thing. They're going to spend a lot of time trying to shop you around, talk you up, get you the best deal possible. And if you're going to make their lives miserable, you're maybe not someone when they want to be having as a client either. So the submission guidelines are there to make my life easier, but they're also there to show me a little about you and show me how you function. Show me if you can follow directions. Rekka:30:35 And one thing I, I feel I need to say is like we make it sound like, you know, don't be difficult, don't whatever. It doesn't mean you're going to set up an expectation that this publisher can walk all over you. What you're showing them is your competence. So if you are competent enough to follow submissions guidelines in the first place and you're competent enough to write a good story that they want to buy, they will also expect that you are competent enough to stand up for your rights when it comes to negotiating contracts, et Cetera, et cetera. So don't feel that by not asserting yourself with, you know, various, um, you know, like standing your ground sort of mentalities at the beginning of this that you are going to end up like being the doormat for this publisher. That is not, that is not what we're trying to set up here. We're trying to set up a great working relationship Kaelyn:31:22 And I will take this a step further and say, I'm not saying don't be afraid to ask questions if you have a question, um, you know, email them and just say, Hey, I'm, you know, what's best for me to do with this sort of thing. Um, now that said, before you do this, you should try to figure out if your answers in the submissions guidelines. Rekka:31:43 Cause it's probably in the submissions guidelines. Kaelyn:31:46 Um, one thing that I'm a little bit of a gray area about is like, well I read in your submissions guidelines that you're not taking things with werewolves in them, but my werewolves are in space and it's Scifi. Rekka:32:00 Right. Kaelyn:32:02 So, Rekka:32:02 So if you don't understand that, they're like talking specifically say about urban paranormal romance and it's not that clear but like, you know, clarify. But. Kaelyn:32:14 And I would also say, you know, if you want to email them, that's fine. Um, and to be honest with you, there's a good chance, you're not going to get a reply back. Um, but you can also put that in your query letter. Rekka:32:25 Right. Kaelyn:32:25 And you know, Rekka:32:26 Just in a query letter - Kaelyn:32:27 Yeah. We're going to talk about query letters next week and that's a good place to kind of make any sort of conditional kind of stuff that you want everyone aware of. Like, I know this title werewolves in it, but it's werewolves on Mars. That actually might make me go. Huh. All right. I'll take a look at that. Rekka:32:46 Right. So, yeah, maybe not asking the question about like your specific story, but the questions about the submissions guidelines themselves. Kaelyn:32:54 Absolutely. Rekka:32:55 Send an email and say like, um, I'm looking at this email and I think there might be a typo in your like email address or something like that because it doesn't match the domain name, like, yeah, you can write an email about that. Kaelyn:33:08 Just to clarify or you know, just to make sure like this is, um, I'm going to go on a little short tirade here right now, I apologize. When asking questions like this again, keep in mind how many emails and how much stuff is going on. Please take the time to actually compose an email. Um, I don't know if everyone, I think most people probably feel the same way with this with me, and I don't know if this is me being overly fussy, but I hate when I get emails that are just, hey, so like what about this thing? And that's it. Rekka:33:45 Yeah. Like keep in mind that no, this is not your official submission. This is probably talking to somebody who might review your submission as a professional corresponds. Kaelyn:33:53 This is not, you're not sending me a text or a DM. This is, hi Kaelyn. You know, I'm so and so. I'm, I'm interested in submitting to you. I just had this one question because I'm getting ready to submit and I don't want to get disqualified for something silly, Rekka:34:10 Right. I, Kaelyn:34:13 I don't know if it's just a pet peeve of mine if it's just, you know, something that really sets my hackles up is when I get emails that - Rekka:34:23 It's like one line and it's right to the question and it just comes off as rude and demanding. Kaelyn:34:28 Demanding is exactly that, right? Like, hey, tell me about this. Like, no, first of all go read the submissions guidelines second, like take some time and compose an email for me. You know, I'm not saying this has to be, you know, the equivalent of the Queen's invitation. Rekka:34:43 I mean, this isn't a query letter itself. You don't have to worry too much about it, but just be nice, you know, like - Kaelyn:34:48 Like you would any other professional setting, Rekka:34:50 To Whom It May Concern if you don't know who you're writing to, exactly. And say I'm reviewing - like, here's what I'm doing, here's my question. I appreciate your time and answering it. Kaelyn:34:59 Yeah. Rekka:34:59 And sign off professionally. Kaelyn:35:01 It doesn't need to be paragraphs. Please don't make a paragraphs. Um, but think about, you know, if you were interviewing or applying for a job, same thing. This is a professional setting. Rekka:35:09 Let me tell you people still, you know, I've interviewed people and I have still got emails like that. Kaelyn:35:13 No. And I mean, I'm sure you know, there's, it's, it's systemic of, you know, the online, it's symptoms of the culture, unfortunately. Um, but that is, that's another thing that is gonna make me go like, oh my God, this person, why do, why would you send this to me? Um, so just be conscious, be aware of this as a professional interaction. Rekka:35:38 Yeah. Kaelyn:35:38 So that's getting your submission ready. Um, do your research, do your spell checks. Um, talk to people that you know, can maybe point you in the right direction and follow the submissions guidelines. It is the smallest thing you can do to get yourself removed from consideration unnecessarily. Rekka:36:03 It's really surprising what a fight people will put up when it's not that much effort. Kaelyn:36:08 Yeah. And one thing I will say also is, um, when I say research, especially publishing houses agents as well and especially publishing houses is check for context. Yes, maybe what you're writing falls within the submissions guidelines, but make sure it is actually something that you think they'd be interested in publishing. Um, can I tell a story that's slightly inappropriate? Rekka:36:35 I mean we can cut it later or if I, if I go, you know, I don't like this story. Kaelyn:36:39 I got a submission once that was an epic, you know, high epic fantasy and it was, you know, very sword and shield like, um, I have no, I don't remember anything about what it was about because all I remember is within the first two pages I got lengthy graphic description of three different men's penises. Rekka:37:04 Hmm. Kaelyn:37:07 Extolling the virtues of each of them. And, and I'm reading this going, this person is not a bad writer. And this sounded like this was maybe an interesting story. I, but no. Rekka:37:20 However I'm done. Kaelyn:37:21 I'm burning this, I'm going to print it out just so I can burn it. Um, so that's just another thing. Rekka:37:28 So know your audience. Kaelyn:37:29 No, that's exactly. Yeah. Know your audience. And that's a good thing to keep in mind while researching publishing houses, if they don't seem like they're interested in having stories with graphic descriptions of male genitalia crammed into the first 300 words the book, Rekka:37:48 I mean maybe pick up one of their other books and see if that's in there. Kaelyn:37:52 Yeah, yeah. I mean, if you're gonna, if you're going to go for something then like that, I mean one may be don't, but two, you know, make sure - Rekka:37:59 There's an audience for it somewhere, you've just got to look a little harder.

Jordan Tarver is a writer, photographer, storyteller and van lifer. A 5 week trip to Europe turned into 3 months pushed him outside of his comfort zone and made him realize who he was always meant to be. He talks about the lessons he learned from the trip in his book, Moment: Vol.1 : To Whom It May Concern. Born & raised in Rohnert Park, CA, he found his passion for the outdoors from camping trips with his family. Always wanting to live in Southern California, he attended Cal State Fullerton where he majored in finance. It was through greek life that he found his passion for photography. After graduating, he moved out of his apartment and traveled Europe solo for 3 months. It was on this trip that he began to find love for writing as he was journaling daily. Returning back to SoCal, he worked at a mortgage company for 16 months, writing part-time on the side. With two previous writing opportunities not work out in his favor, he continued to push forward until he landed his full-time gig with FitSmallBusiness.com. His van, The Story On Wheels, has inspired him to keep writing stories which he hopes will guide him to an opportunity to work for National Geographic. In this Episode Jordan discusses the importance of time blocking, rewarding yourself for the small victories, being inspired versus being jealous, how to become the best version of yourself and how you can manifest anything into your reality. - If you enjoy this podcast, please leave us a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast App with your honest feedback OR screenshot this Episode, post it to your Instagram Story tagging @JordanTarver & @PurposeintheYouth! - Connect with Jordan!

Lane Kawaoka is a City Project Engineer and Licensed Professional (PE) Civil/Industrial Engineer. Short after graduating college, during his first 5 years of his career, he supervised a traveling, union-based crew that required 100% travel away home. During this time, he traded the most important resource, time, for money. In 2009, he was able to save for an A-class rental that rented for $2200/a month in the Pacific Northwest (how embarrassing a Rent-to-Value Ratio of 0.5%!). After his 2nd acquisition of a duplex in 2012, he was looking to make a 3rd but the market was appreciating and he saw the numbers would yield negative cashflow. With this realization, Lane converted his portfolio to markets with stable multifaceted job markets and Rent-to-Value Ratios that would yield healthy $250-$400/month spreads between the rents and expenses (mortgage, vacancy, professional management, repairs, and capital expenses). Today Lane's portfolio consists of 11 single family homes in Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Pennsylvania. Jason caught up with Lane to discuss some 1031 exchange tips that Lane utilizes with his properties. Key Takeaways: [1:55] How Lane became interested in real estate [4:10] Why Lane believes the stock market formula is impossible to beat or even project [7:46] Lane's home auction experience that showed him not everyone with money is smart [10:28] Why Lane is in the markets he's in right now [13:00] The 45 Day Deadline with your 1031 [16:01] What you need to ask yourself before your start your 1031 exchange [20:29] When you start approaching the end of your 1031 exchange deadline [22:20] Filling out "To Whom It May Concern" letters, and Jason's paid off $237 tax lien from the 90s that's made his own "To Whom It May Concern" letter a part of every deal he makes Website Mentioned: www.simplepassivecashflow.com
A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
Sensuous words and terms of endearment. Think of a beautiful word. Now, is it simply the word's sound that makes it beautiful? Or does its appeal also depend on meaning? Also, pet names for lovers around the world: You might call your beloved "honey," or "babe," or "boo." But in Swedish, your loved one is a "sweet nose," and in Persian, you can just say you hope a mouse eats them. Finally, in certain parts of the U.S., going out to see a stripper may not mean what you think it means. Plus, clutch, dank, girled up, gorilla warfare, dead ringer, spitten image, butter beans vs. lima beans, and the whole shebang. FULL DETAILS May a mouse eat you, or in Persian, moosh bokharadet, is a term of endearment suggesting the recipient is small and cute. Another picturesque hypocorism: French mon petit chou, "sweetheart," but literally, "my little cabbage." To go gangbusters is to "perform well and vigorously" or "act with energy and speed," as in an economy going gangbusters. The term recalls the swift aggression of 1930's police forces decisively breaking up criminal gangs. The old-time radio show Gangbusters, known for its noisy opening sequence, complete with sirens and the rattle of tommy guns, helped popularize the term. Sotnos, with an umlaut over that first o, is a Swedish term of endearment. Literally, it means "sweet nose." A listener in Billings, Montana, wonders about two of her boyfriend's favorite slang terms: clutch and dank. Clutch most likely derives from the world of sports, where a clutch play requires peak performance from an athlete, giving rise to clutch meaning "great." Dank, on the other hand, is used among cannabis aficionados to describe the smell of good marijuana, and was popularized by Manny the Hippie's appearances on David Letterman's show. Quiz Guy John Chaneski is on the hunt for four-letter words hidden inside related words. For example, find the related four letter word hidden in the last word of this sentence: A union member might find him despicable. When writing a business letter, what's a modern salutation that doesn't sound as stuffy as Dear Sir or Dear Madam? To Whom It May Concern, perhaps? The answer depends on the context and the intended audience. A Boardman, Ohio, was confused as a child after reading about guerrilla warfare and wondering what those big, hairy primates could possibly be fighting about. In mining country, a stripper is an huge piece of machinery churns up the soil in search of coal veins. This caused no end of hilarity one Christmas Day for a Terre Haute, Indiana, family when a new in-law was scandalized by the thought that all the menfolk were enthusiastically heading out to see a new stripper. More than a century ago, the Springfield Republican newspaper in Massachusetts proposed a new word for that twitterpated time in an adolescent's life when one discovers the joys of flirtation: being all girled up. The Republican is also the publication containing the first known instance of someone suggesting the term Ms. as an honorific. Schadenfreude, from German for "damage-joy," means "delight in the misfortune of others." How dry is it? In the middle of a drought, you might answer that question is So dry the trees are bribing the dogs. What makes a word beautiful? Is it merely how it sounds? Or does a word's meaning affect its aesthetic effect? Max Beerbohm had some helpful thoughts about gondola, scrofula, and other words in his essay "The Naming of Streets." Several years ago, Grant wrote a column on this topic for The New York Times. The origin of the whole shebang, meaning "the whole thing," is somewhat mysterious. It may derive from an Irish word, shabeen, which meant "a disreputable drinking establishment," then expanded to denote other kinds of structures, including "an encampment." The phrase the whole shebang was popularized during the U.S. Civil War. Two familiar terms that have inspired lots of bogus etymologies are dead ringer and spitting image. Dead ringer probably comes from horse racing, where a ringer is a horse that may look like other horses in a race but is actually from a higher class of competitors, and therefore a sure bet. The dead in this sense suggests the idea of "exact" or "without a doubt," also found in such phrases as dead certain. As for the term variously spelled spitting image or spittin' image or spit and image, Yale University linguist Larry Horn has argued convincingly that the original form is actually spitten image, likening a father-son resemblance to an exact copy spat out from the original. If you want to reassure someone, you might say I've got your back. In Persian, however, to indicate the same thing, you'd say the equivalent of "I have your air," which is havato daram. What's the difference between butter beans, lima beans, and wax beans? The answer depends on where you live and what dialect you speak. Oh, those romantic Germans! Among their many terms of endearment is the one that translates as "mouse bear."

Hyperbolic Headlines Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity!!!! Or maybe not. You've seen those breathless headlines on the internet, like "You Won't Believe What This 7-year-old Said to The President!" They're supposed to lure you to another webpage--but now there's a backlash against such clickbait. Plus, the most beautiful word in the Icelandic language. And if being disgruntled means you're annoyed, does being gruntled mean you're happy? Plus, gleeking, balloon juice, belly stretchers, scared vs. afraid, peruse, belting out a song, acknowledging the corn, To Whom It May Concern, and that awkward silence in elevators.FULL DETAILSIn Icelandic, the term for "midwife" literally translates as "light mother." Icelanders voted it the most beautiful word in their language. Similarly, in Spanish, the phrase for "give birth," dar a luz, translates literally as "give to light." Gleek doesn't just mean "a fan of the TV show Glee." It's also a verb meaning to shoot a stream of saliva out from under your tongue.Disgruntled means "unhappy," and gruntled means the opposite, although you almost never hear the latter. Playing with such unpaired words can be irresistible, whether you're a poet or an essayist for The New Yorker. A century or so ago, balloon juice was college slang for "empty talk."An Indianapolis caller wonders if there's any difference in meaning between the words scared and afraid. Why did the chicken cross the basketball court? Spoiler alert: the answer is a groaner.Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a puzzle involving expressions that pair famous people with the last syllables of their names. For example, what kind of drinking vessel might a mustachioed genius named Albert use?The word peruse is such a confusing term that it's best to avoid it entirely. Some English speakers were taught it means "to read casually," while others were taught exactly the opposite. If you take a job at an airline, beware if your new co-workers ask you go find them a belly stretcher—they're playing a practical joke on you.The elevator doors close, and there's that awkward silence while you and your fellow passengers wait for the doors to reopen. Is there a word for that silence? To confess the corn or acknowledge the corn is to admit that you are, or were, drunk.A former copydesk chief points out the circular nature of dictionaries using citations from newspapers that in turn consult dictionaries and the AP Styleguide for questions of usage. A lunch hook, in college slang from a century ago, meant "a hand"--as in, "I'm going to hook my finger through this doughnut hole."We're so jaded by the clickbait titles directing us to sites like Upworthy that the site Downworthy is doing something about it. And imagine what it'd be like if serious literature got the same treatment. To belt out a song onstage probably derives from the idea of belting your opponent in the boxing ring.There's no hard-set rule about whether to capitalize the phrase To Whom It May Concern, though it may also be worth figuring out who you're addressing, and writing to them instead.Did your teacher ever make you write a sentence over and over as punishment? That task is called a pensum.A Somerville, Massachusetts, listener wonders about a phrase her family uses, freeze your caboogies off. Its origin is unknown, and it's unclear whether it's related to another term for the backside, bahookie.This episode was hosted by Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett.--A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donateGet your language question answered on the air!
