The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson, Mama’s Boy & Scholar by Scott Muskin wins Parthenon Prize for Fiction

April 7th, 2011 by mariodm




The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson, Mama’s Boy & Scholar by Scott Muskin wins Parthenon Prize for Fiction










Brentwood, TN (PRWEB) December 16, 2008

The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson, Mama’s Boy and Scholar has been awarded the 2007 Parthenon Prize for Fiction. Established in 2007 by Nashville entrepreneur John Spence, the Parthenon Prize (http://www.parthenonprize.com) was created to give excellent, unknown authors a chance to place their works in circulation

In 2007, the competition garnered over 350 highly qualified submissions from throughout the country. The 2007 winner was awarded an $ 8,000 cash prize and an offer of a full traditional standard book publishing contract. The final judge was Tony Earley, author of Jim the Boy, Here We Are in Paradise, and Somehow Form a Family. The competition was so successful that the prize has been increased to $ 15,000.

Hooded Friar Press will release The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson (Hooded Friar Press, ISBN: 978-0-9817609-2-6, Hardcover, $ 23.95) on February 1, 2009.

Hank Meyerson isn’t the whiny sort of mama’s boy. He’s more the wry, shaggy, chubby sort. Hank Meyerson is an over-thinker, a ranter, and sometimes, a crier. He adores Emily Dickinson. He kibitzes. He has the audacity to fall in love with his sister-in-law. Repercussions of a tryst kick-start a story of love, loss, and ultimately, redemption. Traversing from Minneapolis to Montana to the fateful shallows of the St. Croix River, Hank waltzes toward tragedy with dazzling wit, affecting insight, and raw ruminations on everything from duck jokes and the toy industry, to art, atonement, and our great human frailty.

According to Tony Earley, author of Jim the Boy, “The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson is a vibrant, unruly stew of a book. Part slacker comedy and part Cain-and-Abel tragedy, it simmers, and ultimately boils over, with the long list of appropriations – cultural, familiar, marital, extra-martial – the narrator makes in order to construct a self he can live with. Hank Meyerson is simultaneously insightful and clueless, lovable and despicable, righteous, unrighteous, and self-righteous, in the myriad ways on the best drawn characters in fiction are.”

The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson, Mama’s Boy and Scholar establishes Scott Muskin as an original and exciting new voice in contemporary fiction.

Scott Muskin holds an MFA from the University of Minnesota and a BA from Grinnell College. He was a finalist for the 2005 Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction for his collection of short stories. Scott lives in Minneapolis with his wife, new baby daughter, and their dog.

Hooded Friar Press (http://www.hoodedfriarpress.com) is a traditional publishing house dedicated to publishing high-quality books by new authors. Members of the news media wishing to request an advance review copy of The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson, or an interview with novelist Scott Muskin are asked to contact Maryglenn McCombs by phone – (615) 297-9875,

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) February 12, 2004

DrinkingStuff.com, a leading online retailer of bar supplies and innovative drinking related products, wants to give something back to party goers across the country: free breathalyzers, to be exact.

The offer, for one free disposable breathalyzer to anyone who asks, was announced by DrinkingStuff.com President Michael LaPeter, to celebrate the newest addition to their mission: “From the beginning we’ve focused on helping college students and young adults have more fun for less money- now we’d like to help them have that fun safely, too.”

He emphasized that the offer was open to anyone who asks, and for as long as the stock lasts. “We’ve purchased hundreds of breathalyzers to give away, and if we can afford it we’d like to double that number.”

The website, http://www.DrinkingStuff.com, offers much more than just free breathalyzers. Innovative products such as “Hide a Beer” Can Covers, solid ice shot glasses, and beer funnels are combined with funny, informative content and powerful online tools such as a Blood Alcohol Content Calculator, Drink Converter, Calorie Calculator and more.

Recently featured on Storm and Birdsey’s 103.7 FNX radio show, DrinkingStuff.com was originally created by two college students and has been growing in popularity daily as fellow students and party goers demand more innovative products that simply can’t be found on any other U.S. site: “Other bar supply sites do exactly that- they supply bars. We focus relentlessly on customers who like to throw or go to parties, and we provide them everything they need except alcohol to have a great time.”

To receive your free breathalyzer, visit http://www.DrinkingStuff.com/free

Poetry Collection Celebrates the Profound and the Funny

Poetry Collection Celebrates the Profound and the Funny












Vacaville, CA (Vocus) November 3, 2010

Winston Churchill once famously quipped, “A joke is a very serious thing.” Anyone who has a favorite comedian (and who doesn’t) knows just how insightful well-placed humor can be. Innovative author Stacy Sofscole knows well the power of humor. In his darkly humorous poetry collection, Animal Crackers (published by AuthorHouse), he tackles the struggles and philosophical issues of life with a wit and charm that delights.

“I want people to feel free and liberated after reading this book,” says Sofscole, “and I hope it will allow them to look at the world through a new lens.”

An excerpt:

New Years

In the middle between old and new

Passion filled to the rim

In the middle between me and you

Overflowing Midnight swim

Feather-soft silky skin

Laid across the leather seat

Honey spout milking sin

Splicing spirits, conversing feet

Underneath the citrus moon

Open spores drip the salt

Of sonic waves meeting dunes

Coming to its gentle halt

Playful in manner, Animal Crackers is a thought-provoking work by a new voice in poetry.

About the Author

Stacy Sofscole is a native Californian artist who created the linguistic dialect Brainbow featured throughout his debut work, Animal Crackers.

AuthorHouse is a premier book publisher for emerging, self-published authors. For more information, please visit authorhouse.com.

So What? Who Cares?

April 2nd, 2011 by mariodm

So What?

 

Did you ever notice that there is an endless conversation going on in your mind

called Self-Talk or Internal Dialogue? We stopped being aware of it because it

has always been there. It is called – Thinking or Steam of Consciousness.

 

We hold conversations between our – I, (personality) and our – Me, (mind-body connection) 24/7. Don’t you ask yourself questions before making decisions? How about searching your mind for alternative ideas or suggestions? Well, tell me, who are you talking to?

 

So What

 

“Sew buttons on your nose, and see if they stick,” is what our Inner Child would

reply. Inquiring-Minds want to know the answer to – So What? (why are you wasting my time?) So this: if you learn how to persuade your right-brain, you control your destiny.

 

Example

 

If you are not a speed reader, you are wasting two-hours daily and losing up to 50%

of new long-term memory. Subvocalization is hearing each word you read in a report, article or book pronounced in your mind. It slows you down to a snail.

 

Subvocalization is self-talk operating when we are reading. Slow as molasses.

There is a strategy to reduce subvocalization up to 80%. You triple your learning.

 

Control

 

Homo sapiens are brainwashed to believe we run our life, the world and ourselves -

using our Will-Power, volition, and left-brain. NG (No Good). Get this: humans

are run by our automatic functions called Non-Consciousness, not our Consciousness.

 

Wait: the power is in our Right-Hemisphere, non-conscious mind, and the Emotional elements of our brain. Will-Power, left-brain consciousness and reasoning, only control one-sixth of our brain’s mind-body connection. See:

Nervous system, Immune system, limbic system, et al. Right-Hemisphere.

 

Score

 

The brain score is 83.33% for non-consciousness and 16.67% controlled by consciousness. Stay with me: our conscious left-brain has a Broadband width of a maximum of 40 Bits of information per second. Aha. Our non-conscious, right-brain has – get this – 11 million Bits of information per second. No joke.

 

Google: Broadband brain capacity. That’s 40 for leftie, VS 11-million – righty.

 

So What – Twice

 

But, your conscious left-brain can Reprogram, Recondition and associate your non-conscious  right-brain and emotions, through repetitious persistence. Whatever you most often think about consciously – your goals, burning desires, and emotional needs, are automatically accepted by your non-consciousness as Its goals, burning desires and emotional needs.

 

The secret of left-brain power is our ability to Influence-Persuade and Convince

our right-brain to pay attention to our needs and goals. How?

 

Repetition

 

Your Mama was right – Repetition is the mother of learning. Not once or twice,

but consistently 24/7, use Affirmations (Every day in every way, I am speed reading better and better, and it is getting easier and easier.) Insert whatever your goal is, and it works. Your right-brain believes what it hears, sees and feels, the Most.

 

What else? Flashing Mental Imagery from your conscious to non-conscious. See yourself winning the race, getting the prize, accepting the promotion – repetitiously.

Seeing is believing, according to your non-conscious mind.

 

What Else

 

Emotional Intelligence includes flashing your powerful Feelings from conscious to

nonconscious by smiling and applauding or jumping up and shouting. This convinces your non-conscious, right-brain you mean business about obtaining your

goal and desire. Use it or lose it. Convince your right-brain or forgetaboutit.

 

New Story

 

If you want to persuade, influence and convince folks, you must sound more like them. We all have an accent – even if it is the standard accent of middle America.

We trust people and want to deal with them when they sound more like us – huh?

 

I once had a buyer of a ,000 preschool center in Florida tell me: “the real reason

you convinced me is you sound just like my brother in law, and he is a great guy and

trustworthy.” It turned out great for him for the next 20-years.

 

Foreigners

 

When we listen to folks – even if they just won the Nobel Prize – with a foreign accent – we straight out do NOT believe them. We are hardwired with an internal

unconscious bias because we cannot easily understand their enunciation of English.

 

When you listen to someone with a regional or local accent (New York has many)

we decide they are not believable based on their sound, not the content of their

ideas. They sound – dumb, uneducated, cornball. So what?

 

If you are in the business of convincing others your product or service is best,

record yourself and see how differently you sound from your prospect. You will

be shot down not because someone else is better, but because you sound – funny.

 

Practice before a presentation, to sound more like the locals than like a Harvard

professor. Even President Obama aims to sound like the citizens, not an Ivy Leaguer

and Harvard Law School graduate. It makes him more believable.

 

Fact

 

A foreign accent undermines a person’s credibility in ways both the speaker

and the listener are unaware of consciously. The reason is it takes more effort

from the listener to understand the speaker’s meaning. It causes distrust.

 

Recent research indicates we do not believe in the competence of folks who

speak differently than we do. It applies to hiring, firing and promotions.

Take speech lessons, and be aware of the negative power of accents.

 

ELF

 

English is the Lingua Franca of the world. People in commerce use it

when both parties need a language in common. It is derived from Italian

meaning Frankish Tongue, and was originated in Eastern Mediterranean

ports to expedite trade.

 

ELF (English as Lingua Franca)

 

When both parties to a conversation use English, it is not the perfect grammar

we learned at University. It is a hybrid English that gets the point across.

Remember, we trust our own accent, and everything else scares us. Practical.

 

It is all about group identity and in-groups, and out-groups. The more you fit into how locals sound, the greater your power of influence and persuasion. You

want to be part of the In-Group, and practice makes perfect. They will love you

for sounding like them.

 

Google: professor Patricia Bestelmeyer, University of Glasgow, appearing in the

Journal: Society For Neuroscience, Nov. 18, 2010

 

See ya,

 

Question: would you be more competitive for promotions in school and career

by reading and remembering up to three-times better than your peers?

FunnySalesCartoons.com Voted “Best Social Network for Salespeople”

March 31st, 2011 by mariodm




FunnySalesCartoons.com Voted “Best Social Network for Salespeople”













Drinking from Firehose Sales Training Cartoon


Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 25, 2010

FunnySalesCartoons.com was voted “Best Social Network for Salespeople” by subscribers to SalesPop, a leading sales industry website. SalesPop’s editors caught up with Eric Blumthal, CEO of sales alignment software leader count5 and creator of the Funny Sales Cartoons community:

SalesPop: Congrats, your peers throughout the sales community have named the site as Best Social Network for salespeople! To what do you attribute the site’s success?

Eric Blumthal: “FunnySalesCartoons is successful because we learned from our mistakes. We first launched Funny Accountant Cartoons and Funny Consultant Cartoons a few years back and they were complete failures – quite frankly, I think we were targeting the wrong demographic – those guys just aren’t very funny. On the other hand, most sales people have a great sense of humor – and we have a site that consolidates all of the funny sales-related content in one place for them.”

SalesPop: What have you found sales professionals enjoy the most about Funny Sales Cartoons?

Eric Blumthal: “They like that Funny Sales Cartoons is sort of like Facebook or LinkedIn – minus the formality of those sites – and most importantly, without that weirdo from high school that wants to ‘friend’ you.”

SalesPop: What gave you the idea to create the network for sales professionals?

Eric Blumthal: “I’m in sales – I don’t take myself too seriously – and I can’t go through the day without laughing at something. The site is completely self-serving in that regard; I’m just glad that there are other funny (and / or sick) sales people out there like me that help contribute to the site.”

SalesPop: What can we expect next from Funny Sales Cartoons?

Eric Blumthal: “Funny Sales Cartoons will not stop until we have consolidated all of the funny sales and business related cartoons, video’s and jokes in the world! And we’ll probably kick off a funny sales blog later in the year.”

Computer Game Developers Satirize American Politics

March 31st, 2011 by mariodm




Computer Game Developers Satirize American Politics










New York, NY (PRWEB) June 10, 2004

The latest to come from the video game industry isn’t a new game, but a 3D animated cartoon series satirizing American politics. By combining biting satire with the speed of computer game technology, the creators of “On the Campaign Trail with Lenny & Larry” can put jokes about the latest news headlines in their cartoons as soon as the very next day. The New York based animation and game development studio, the ILL Clan Inc., helped pioneer a new technique of real-time animation known as Machinima in 1998, with their first short, “Apartment Huntin’.” Today this group of comedians, 3D animators and computer programmers are best known for their unusual, live animation performances, which include opportunities for the audience to interact with the animated characters.

The group has enlisted the talents of game developers and animators from all over the world to help produce their latest cartoon series. “It doesn’t matter what country you’re in, making fun of Bush is like shooting fish in a barrel,” says Mike Steven, a 3D game-level designer in Hampshire England who designs 3D backgrounds and environments for the show, which follows two out of work lumberjacks as they pursue the two cushiest jobs in America: President and Vice President.

“We’ve got background’s and 3D environment’s being made in England and Germany, new 3D characters being created in Australia and all the writing, voice acting and editing being produced right here in Brooklyn” says Matt Dominianni, the show’s director and cofounder of the ILL Clan Inc. The show’s cartoon stars, Larry & Lenny Lumberjack were also created at the ILL Clan animation studios in New York by another of the ILL Clan’s cofounders, Emmy award winning 3D animator, Paul Marino.

“Machinima (Machine + Cinema) is what we in the 3D animation industry call the technique of using computer game technology to create animated movies,” says Paul Marino, author of the new book Machinima Artistry and executive director of the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences. This combination of the techniques of film-making and the technology of computer games has helped open doors for 3D animators to show off their talents, without breaking the budget.

In addition to cartoon shorts, the ILL Clan uses Machinima to perform animation for live audiences. One such performance took place at the awards gala at the 2004 Florida Film Festival, in which the ILL Clan’s characters co-hosted the evening’s ceremonies, and presented awards to the festival winners. The cartoon characters were projected on-screen, while the ILL Clan performers voiced and controlled the characters like puppets, from backstage. Their talent and experience as improvisers allows the performers to make the animated characters respond to the audience and the human gala host.

According to the ILL Clan, the technique of Machinima is more like shooting film or TV, than the usually time consuming and cost prohibitive process of pre-rendered 3D animation. “Because we are basically shooting animation live, we don’t have long render times and can make 3D animation much quicker,” says Frank Dellario, cofounder and president of the ILL Clan. “When people think 3D cartoons, they think long render times, a room full of computers and high costs. When we think 3D cartoons we think 3 laptops and a server pushed so far to the max we have to keep it in the fridge to cool it down.”

The speed of the Machinima process allows the ILL Clan to make more timely 3D animation than has ever been possible before. The group uses this advantage to hilarious effect with each new episode they publish on their website, http://www.illclan.com. “We read the latest news, we write jokes and record the 3D animation that same night, and post the result on our website the next morning.” Says, Matt Dominianni. “I’d like to see Pixar do that.”

Episodes of “On the Campaign Trail with Lenny & Larry” can be viewed on the ILL Clan’s movies page, http://www.illclan.com/movies.htm

Note to Editor: Please use all capitals for the word “ILL” in the name ILL Clan.
