Most Recent Data Report
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Data Report (PDF - 311 KB) - updated January 1, 2020.
Updated monthly, and includes the number of:
- petitions filed,
- adjudications compensated and dismissed,
- awards paid by type and amount,
- claims by vaccine, and
- adjudication categories by vaccine.
The United States has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in history. In the majority of cases, vaccines cause no side effects, however they can occur, as with any medication—but most are mild. Very rarely, people experience more serious side effects, like allergic reactions.
In those instances, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) allows individuals to file a petition for compensation.
What does it mean to be awarded compensation?
Being awarded compensation for a petition does not necessarily mean that the vaccine caused the alleged injury. In fact:
- Approximately 70% of all compensation awarded by the VICP comes as result of a negotiated settlement between the parties in which HHS has not concluded, based upon review of the evidence, that the alleged vaccine(s) caused the alleged injury.
- Attorneys are eligible for reasonable attorneys' fees, whether or not the petitioner is awarded compensation by the Court, if certain minimal requirements are met. In those circumstances, attorneys are paid by the VICP directly. By statute, attorneys may not charge any other fee, including a contingency fee, for his or her services in representing a petitioner in the VICP.
What reasons might a petition result in a negotiated settlement?
- Consideration of prior U.S. Court of Federal Claims decisions, both parties decide to minimize risk of loss through settlement
- A desire to minimize the time and expense of litigating a case
- The desire to resolve a petition quickly
How many petitions have been awarded compensation?
According to the CDC, from 2006 to 2017 over 3.4 billion doses of covered vaccines were distributed in the U.S. For petitions filed in this time period, 6,571 petitions were adjudicated by the Court, and of those 4,525 were compensated. This means for every 1 million doses of vaccine that were distributed, approximately 1 individual was compensated.
Since 1988, over 21,491 petitions have been filed with the VICP. Over that 30-year time period, 18,473 petitions have been adjudicated, with 7,044 of those determined to be compensable, while 11,429 were dismissed. Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $4.2 billion.
The content of this website reflects the current thinking of the United States Department of Health and Human Services on the topics addressed and does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind the Department or the public. The ultimate decision about the scope of the statutes authorizing the VICP is within the authority of the United States Court of Federal Claims, which is responsible for resolving petitions for compensation under the VICP.

Zevious, Red Reiter, Needle Driver
Saint Vitus
1120 Manhattan Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11222
This event is 21 and over
"The music of Zevious shrewdly juxtaposes order and its opposite: structural intensity pushed to its breaking point in the most appealing way. These boys are brilliant and fearless."–Vijay Iyer
Zevious are a unique electric jazz band for the modern era. This instrumental power trio are equally influenced by the sound of early John McLaughlin/Tony Williams Lifetime, Meshuggah, the 'downtown punk-jazz-harmolodic' school (James Blood Ulmer/Music Revelation Ensemble, Decoding Society, Curlew), Magma, Vijay Iyer and Ben Monder among others. This is not your father's jazz band.
Zevious used to be a jazz guitar trio. Their 2007 self-titled debut CD featured a set of knotty jazz compositions and technical soloing that the group performed at jazz clubs. Very quickly thereafter, by the beginning of 2008, the band had broken away from the bonds of tradition and were developing a sound that had been developing and incubating since their first album. Mike ditched the jazz guitar for a Telecaster and DeBlase replaced his upright with an electric bass and they both picked up distortion pedals and cranked them up. Zevious began combining progressive rock grooves, tech metal, structured group improvisation, and complex song forms with a conventional jazz sound, creating a unique compositional style. Their new sound points towards a focused musical ground where it is apparent that this band can shred. Their songs now wind through peaks and valleys of odd-metered and hard-hitting bass and drum grooves with contrapuntal guitar interjections that morph into unison riffing, with hard-hitting, complex drum workouts and stop-on-a-dime style guitar breaks coupled with subtle, brooding segments. Their second album After the Air Raid is the culmination of nearly two years of hard compositional and rehearsal labor and showcases a powerful, rhythmically intense and highly structured sound, making this a record with lasting depth. Beautifully and simply recorded, mixed and mastered by Colin Marston (of Behold...the Arctopus), the striking live sound of the band is masterfully presented.
"In form, Zevious is a traditional power trio of electric guitar, bass and drums. But the group didn't start out this way in 2006, when it featured an acoustic jazz format. With the substitution of electric instrumentation and distortion pedals in 2008, its approach to music changed, but its grounding in group improvisation remained. After The Air Raid is a genre busting brawny recording that leans more towards technical metal than jazz. That said, the trio favor odd-metered grooves and a rocking beat. Guitarist Mike Eber, also a member of the bands Smother Party and Mea'l, wrote seven of the tracks, bassist Johnny DeBlaze the other four. The band juxtaposes quiet intensity against noisy distortion on "The Children And The Rats," culminating in a silent stoppage. Zevious favors the thunderous bassline over a swing one, but retains the skill of a jazz band. Its quiet/loud approach makes for a winning sound." – All About Jazz
"Zevious is devious. It may look like your everyday electric jazz trio (guitar, bass, drums), but Zevious is anything but typical. Guitarist Mike Eber, bassist Johnny DeBlase, and drummer Jeff Eber give off the aroma of jazz-flavored metal, but their sophistication - odd-metered rhythms, unexpected harmonic ideas - slyly bubbles up. Their influences range wide: There's a little bit of fusion forebears John McLaughlin and Tony Williams's Lifetime in here, some electric free improv in the vein of Nels Cline and Last Exit, and nu-metal a la Rage Against the Machine. Compositionally and rhythmically, though, their next of kin are modern acoustic improvisers, folks like Vijay Iyer and Ken Vandermark. The interplay between the Eber cousins is central. The drummer states the beat and then finds a way to play around it, while the guitarist first plays the "right chords'' and then harmonizes against them, often in ways that are deliberately unsettling. Even when they turn it down - as they do on the title tune, an eerie duet between guitar and bass - the music is both frightening and beautiful." -- boston.com
"If your thing musically is the prototypical, gnarly, and loud instrumental power trio, then Zevious should be right up your alley. Led by new electric guitar hero Mike Eber, this band should wipe the floor with any comparable group that dares to perform with such a bold, in-your-face posture. Though claiming various primal jazz fusion influences, the unmistakable sound of Robert Fripp and King Crimson from their trio period and the seminal album Red cannot be denied. You also hear the British Canterbury concept via Gary Boyle or Alan Holdsworth, a little bit of the progressive sound of the Muffins, and even pieces of Frank Zappa, the jazzier Jeff Beck and Robin Trower, or Gary Lucas creeping in alongside a punk attitude. With brother/drummer Jeff Eber and bassist Johnny DeBlase (love that name) Zevious makes inroads toward establishing a new fusion amalgam in varying tones and shapes. Everything here is short, concise, and to the point, whether it be on the choppy flailing during "Come Cluster" and chord driven "iNCITING," the jarring noisy or alternately serene contrasts in "The Children & the Rats," the bass-shaded, underground, and litigious "That Ticket Exploded," and slowed, dank, unassuming, deliberate "Gradual Decay". Where Mike Eber's personal voicings come further to the surface on the goth power rocker "Mostly Skulls" with cleverly omitted measures, it is on the title track that he's in a diffuse and neo-laconic element, far beyond the pale. He's practically fluid in his steel-trap, deadly technique for "The Noose," straight-up funky on "Glass Tables," and evokes the snarly Fripp sound in a fast-paced "The Ditch." The opening track, "Where's the Captain?," gives a good indication that Robert Fripp's schizoid man, somewhat R&B-nfluenced, hard-edged, dark guitar is at the center of this trio's core. Listen to this recording and Red back to back to see if you don't agree with the parallel universe this band exists in. Where Zevious definitely suggests a Zen-like concept welded onto a deviated (or even devious) attitude, you'll find the music is fully realized, a terrible wholeness reflective of today's societal anxiety and tenseness released -- nay shot out of a cannon -- into the ether." – All Music Guide

Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac and is a Feminine, Fixed, Negative, Water sign. Scorpio is represented by the Scorpion. People born between October 23 and November 20 are ruled by Mars, God of War and Pluto, Lord of the Underworld.
Pluto imparts the powerful, dark and deep side of Scorpios while Mars influences them to feel invincible. Like Aries which is also ruled by the God of war, Scorpio sees life as a battlefield. Those born under this sign are extremely deep, intense, intuitive and strongminded.
What you'll find in this article:
They truly believe that nothing is too difficult to achieve or overcome. Scorpios feel confident when in full control of the situation and people around them. Jealousy, manipulation and stubbornness are stumbling blocks to their relationships with others.
Scorpio loves love and yearns to find someone for keeps. These individualsare very cautious in dealing with others and prefer to guard their thoughts and feelings tightly. Truth is, they like to downplay their feelings in order to protect themselves.
If a Scorpio admits that he/she likes you, chances are he/she is already deeply in love with you. It is quite difficult to read them, it is best to go with the flow and see where it leads to. Never play mind games with them because it will just backfire.
The surefire indication that a Scorpio has fallen for someone, is when he/she confesses his/her deepest secrets. The possessive nature of those born under this sign is strongly manifested in a relationship. They try to control their partners because they are scared of losing them.
The best love match for them is people who will not be overwhelmed by Scorpio's controlling nature and those are more than willing to be dominated in the name of love.
It is important that their partners nurture trust and help Scorpio find emotional balance. They match well with Water and Earth signs. What do the stars say about a Scorpio-Scorpio love match? Read on to find out.
Scorpio Woman and Scorpio Man
Scorpio woman is considered as the most mysterious of all the signs. She is bewitching, deep, intuitive, friendly and complex.
It is not easy to win the heart of a Scorpio woman. She is a proud creature who wants to get her way. It is difficult to figure her out because she's got a lot going on, behind that friendly façade. Lucky is the man who breaks her wall of defense because Scorpio loves with all her heart, mind and soul.
This lady has a lot of admirers but her heart will never stray. She is an extremely loyal, devoted, affectionate, caring and passionate partner.
She is the type who would support her man in all areas of his life; Scorpio woman matches well with someone who is equally enamored, appreciative, affectionate, understanding and faithful.
What does she expect from the man she loves? Appreciation, attention, honesty, devotion and faithfulness.
This lady is possessive by nature. A man who continues to socialize without her approval will surely earn her ire. Scorpio woman is demanding. One has to pay close attention to her needs and demands because she expects to receive as much as she gives.
Those born under this sign are extremely jealous so her partner must never make the mistake of flirting or cheating. A scorned Scorpio is not a sight to behold and whatever plans she will cook up to get even will surely send shivers down the spine.
A Scorpio man is desired by many but only one woman can capture his heart. What kind of woman makes him fall hook, line and sinker? First he gets attracted to a woman who seems unattainable. This man lives to be challenged so even in love the harder the pursuit, the better for him.
When he is certain about someone, he will pursue her relentlessly. Yes….he is jealous and controlling of his ladylove. This is because Scorpio man wants to protect his partner and their relationship. Those born under this sign are known to defend and guard people they love fiercely.
Once a woman gets involved with him, it will be clear that he prefers to do things his way, so she should be willing to let him lead. Scorpio man invests heavily on his relationship that's why he wants to be in control and on tight watch over his ladylove.
There's no such thing as personal space because he wants to do and accomplish things with his partner all the time. Women who require time and space for their independence will make the Scorpion look elsewhere.
He matches well with a woman who can relate and connect with his emotional intensity. Flighty and free spirited women won't click with this guy.
Scorpio And Scorpio Compatibility Verdict
Scorpio-Scorpio love match is probably one of the most intense pairing in the zodiac. Both are enamored with love itself so expect romance between them to fly off the charts. They are also a powerhouse combination.
These two share the same ardor for success and no goal will be difficult for them to reach especially when they go for it together. Both will be supportive and protective of each other.
They think and feel alike ….. Will there ever be trouble in paradise? Sadly, yes….. Both are sociable and have a lot of admirers. It is highly likely that jealousy will be triggered.
Since they are proud people, Scorpios tend to bottle up their true feelings which lead to resentments accumulating overtime. Things can get really ugly when pent up emotions explode.
The one who's been hurt more will surely not let it pass without exacting revenge. Love will win in the end but this can be a nasty recurring cycle, so they have to learn how to be honest with their feelings.
If they get to master the art of communication, their relationship will be strong and most likely lead to marriage. They make wonderful, protective and nurturing parents.
Compatibility Verdict: Scorpio – Scorpio love match sizzles and the flame will continue to burn for a long, long time.

What causes large electric resistances?
Thin wires or wires made of poor conductors. Some metals are simply better at carrying current without wasting energy than other metals. It has to do with how often a charge bounces off of a metal atom and loses energy. Copper, Silver, and Aluminum are good conductors while stainless steel and lead are pour conductors. Metals tend to become better conductors as you cool them and worse as you heat them. Semiconductors such as carbon (graphite) are poor conductors but have the reverse temperature effect. At low temperature they are poor conductors but become good conductors at high temperature.

How to Use Oracle Cards for Healing
How to Use Oracle Cards for Healing
There are times when you just want your questions to be answered with a yes or a no – or you may wish to receive more direct guidance, that may be less detailed or complex in terms of the advice, but is easier to understand. While psychic readings online and offline have been known to provide answers, there really are those instances when you may be more interested in these simpler more direct answers.
Don't get us wrong, psychic readings can also throw up simple and useful guidance, but Oracle cards give us all a chance to receive this simple guidance, where we may not want to delve too deep into a subject, and just get some direct and gentle guidance or pointers, that we can use to build on. This is when Oracle cards come in handy.
There are also hybrid decks that utilise the gentle messages of guidance from the Oracle cards, along with the structured detail often found in Tarot card decks. These too can be incredibly useful – it all depends on personal preferences, but these decks are good for beginners (and experts), who want a bit of balance between the 2 different feels of both Oracle and Tarot.
Angel Cards are also a type of Oracle Card, and probably the most popular. You may wish to read our post for more information: Angel Oracle Card Readings Vs. Tarot Card Readings.
And if you are also interested in reading Tarot Cards yourself (there are many similarities, tips and a video here), then you can visit our post: DIY Tarot Card Reading – How to Read Tarot Cards Yourself.
Here are some steps that you can follow when using Oracle cards:
- Clear the card deck
It is important that you clear your card deck before starting, and for good reason. Oracle cards are very sensitive and they have the ability to absorb the energy of anybody who touches the deck. One way to clear the deck is by placing it in one hand and slowly sweeping the other hand over it. While doing this, make your intentions known that you want to clear the cards and say a prayer. This process will remove the old energy from the cards, and prepares the deck for the new special energy that will be coming from you.
- Prepare the deck
When you're done clearing the deck, introduce your own energy to the cards by touching them. Start by gently tapping the corners. After that, flip the cards so that the artwork is now facing you. Fan the cards and place them near your heart. Think of intentions or prayers that you want to bestow onto them. Remember, the cards are sensitive so be careful with your thoughts while doing this.
- Ask your question
Think of the question that you need to be answered. If you're doing this for somebody else, ask that person to think of their question. They can also say it out loud if they want to. Remember, the Angels can hear your thoughts, so it isn't really necessary to voice out the question.
- Shuffle the Oracle cards
Keep thinking of the question while shuffling the deck. Ask your Angels for guidance and answers while doing so. If there's more than one card that jumps out of the deck, just put it on one side because that will still be part of your reading. Pay attention to the thoughts that enter your head while shuffling as these will help understand the cards that will be drawn. If you receive a feeling of knowing, or if you hear certain words, it's time to stop shuffling the cards. You won't make a mistake because the Divine Law of Attraction will make sure that you choose the right cards.
- Choose your Oracle card
Once you stop shuffling, choose a card. The card that you draw, whether it be from the top, middle, or bottom, is always right. This card is the answer to your question. Notice where your eyes go, how you feel, and what you think while looking at the card. That's your answer. You can also draw 3 cards for Past, Present and Future, or any other configuration you want. The World is yours to experiment with.

If you need more help in processing all of the answers from the Oracle cards, or you want more in depth guidance, that gives you more of a road map, so that you can use the guidance to explore complex queries, or indeed if you are just fascinated with the revelations that a live psychic reading can bring – whether you choose to get an Oracle, Angel, Tarot Card Reading or a Psychic Reading that may utilise many different skills and methods – then you may want to seek help via psychic readings online, or from our team of trusted psychics at Psychic 121 Readings.

Java for Talend Tips
Using a ternary expression to check if a value is null
Simple test to see if a field is null. I'm using this in Talend to determine if I copy the value into a new note field. You could use a length test, but if the field is a date, then you need to do it this way.
row1.field1 != null ? do_this_if_true : do_this_if_false
The four horsemen of mediocrity

Common fonts to all versions of Windows & Mac equivalents
iCloud folder location
On Mac OSX (Mavericks) you can find your 'iCloud' documents in the relevant application folder like this:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Mobile Documents/CODE_AND_APP_NAME/Documents/
Each application keeps its own documents in a sandboxed folder.
You can make an alias for a file and then move that to an appropriate folder, for example, I'm using Byword on the Mac, iPad and iPhone, thus I want my 'List.md' file kept in iCloud. Putting an alias to it on the desktop makes it easy to edit on the Mac. Using GeekTool I can have it automagically display the contents of 'List.md' on the desktop, essentially a 'live' file no matter where I edit it, even from iDevices.
Multiple ternary expressions
This is how to use Talend to concatenate multiple columns (fields) into one field neatly.
Say we have three fields, row1.field1, row1.field2, row1.field3 that we want to insert into a output.notes column.
In the tMap component, use the following expression:
(StringHandling.LEN(row1.field1) > 0 ? "Field 1: "+row1.field1+" " : "")+(StringHandling.LEN(row1.field2) > 0 ? "Field 2 "+row1.field2+" " : "" )+(StringHandling.LEN(row1.field3) > 0 ? "Field 3 Address: "+row1.Address+", "+row1.Suburb+", "+row1.State+", "+row1.Pcode+" " : "")
What this does is check to see if field1 has anything in it (i.e. has a length longer than 0), if it does, it adds the field and a space after it to buffer it against the next field. If it doesn't, then it doesn't insert anything. It then does the same for fields 2 and 3.

Using a ternary operator in Talend Open Studio
I'm currently preparing some data for import into SugarCRM for a client. The source data has a column that contains the given names (i.e. "Jane Mary") and a second column containing the surname (i.e. "Doe").
Using Talend Open Studio we want to separate the given names into first_name and middle_names columns. So, how do we split the first name and middle name?
By using in the tMap component an expression.
For the first name, we do this:
StringHandling.INDEX(row1.GivenNames," ") > 0 ? StringHandling.LEFT(row1.GivenNames,StringHandling.INDEX(row1.GivenNames," ")) : row1.GivenNames
And to extract the middle name/s we use this expression:
StringHandling.INDEX(row1.GivenNames," ") > 0 ? StringHandling.RIGHT(row1.GivenNames,StringHandling.LEN(row1.GivenNames)-StringHandling.INDEX(row1.GivenNames," ")–1) : ""
This type of expression are known as a ternary operation – see examples.
The basic format of a ternary operation is this:
test condition ? do this if true : do this if false

Why Bitcoin matters – Micropayments
This was new to me:
A third fascinating use case for Bitcoin is micropayments, or ultrasmall payments. Micropayments have never been feasible … because it is not cost effective to run small payments … All of a sudden, with Bitcoin, that's trivially easy. Bitcoins have the nifty property of infinite divisibility: currently down to eight decimal places after the dot, but more in the future. So you can specify an arbitrarily small amount of money, like a thousandth of a penny, and send it to anyone in the world for free or near-free.

Installed Roxio Creator Suite 10. Tried to uninstall using Revo Uninstaller.
Then tried to uninstall the remainder Roxio files using Revo, but I got error box unable to fine a certificate file, I clicked OK but the message keep coming back.Then I get a message that says 'please wait while windows configures roxio creator suite 10', I then click cancel but message keep coming back. I also got a 1706 error. I tried to reinstall but got a message that said that another installation was already running. Somewhere along the way I got a 1500 error. I do not have the .msi file (I searched my drives). How do I get rid of Roxio and its error messages? HELP
Roxio software is the buggiest software I have EVER come across !
If you merely search this XP forum with Roxio you get MANY "hits"
A friend of mine insisted on using Roxio Easy Media Creator on her systems starting with version 7.0 and their software has caused her / me all sorts of grief !
You could try this then re-installing it, but it didn't help for me with Roxio EMC 10.
Complete Uninstall of Creator 9 & 10 on Windows XP
In my latest case a message popped up saying there were updates available for EMC 10, do I want to install them? or similar . I clicked on NO or Remind me later or similar and the damn thing installed the software anyway !! , BEFORE I had a chance to disable my anti-virus software from running ! Whether it was interference from the anti-malware software that caused it or bugs in Roxio's software, installing the updates trashed EMC 10 and I could not fix the problems !
Even after doing the above procedure the original EMC 10 software would NOT install.
I searched using Roxio and similar in the registry, and there were STILL hundreds of entries there !
uninstall Roxio Creator Suite 10

Advantages of electric rotating hook:
(1) complete the high-altitude alignment by itself.
This hook can rotate the hanging objects around the lead perpendicular to the position.
(2) bad environment used in the health of harmful hoisting workers.
If high temperature, dust, poisonous gas and radiation, electric rotating hook can be used to complete lifting work without hoisting workers.
(3) use in units where labor is tight.
Using electric rotating hooks can be used to reduce the cost and increase labor productivity.
On the above occasions, crane drivers operate in the driver's room, rotating the hanging objects around the plumb line during the hoisting, keeping the hook in place after the opposite position.
Product introduction
1. Scope of application
The hook group is the most common type of hoisting tool in lifting machinery.
The hook is often hung on the wire rope of the hoisting mechanism by means of the pulley block.
The hook is the most widely used in the extract device, which has the characteristics of simple manufacture and strong use.
2. Product classification
The hook is divided into single hook and double hook.
The manufacturing method is divided into forged hooks and stacked hooks.
Single hook manufacturing is simple and easy to use, but the force is not good, most of it is used in the working environment with a weight of 80 tons;
The weight of the weight is often used with a symmetrical double hook.
Fold type hook by several piece of cutting forming plates riveted together, individual crack of plate when the hook won't destroy, security is good, but the weight is bigger, mostly used in big lifting weight or lifting steel barrels of cranes.
3. The handling methods for the following problems are found in the use of the hook:
(1) in the dangerous section and thread part, the surface has cracked or broken
Those who crack are discarded.
(2) the hoisting of metal liquid can be worn or corroded
5% of the original size, 10% of the original size of other hooks, should be scrapped.
(3) the plastic deformation of the dangerous section and the hook shall be scrapped.
(4) an increase of 15% from the original size shall be scrapped.
(5) the tip of the hook torsional deformation of more than 10 ° above should be scrapped.
(6) when the plate hook bushing is 50% of the original thickness, the bushing should be scrapped.
(7) the spindle shall be scrapped when the axis of the hook is 5 % of the original size.

The Joy of Writing
It's Done!
Here's how writing a book goes for me.
I get up in the morning, read in bed until I hear my egg white frying and smell the coffee, get up, brush my teeth and make my way out to breakfast on the back porch. Yes, I have a husband who makes me breakfast every morning. Highly recommended for every writer, and everyone else.
After feeding and watching the birds, I take care of housekeeping items. That can mean actual things to do in and around the house for our continued existence or it can mean answering emails, checking on yoga students, catching up with friends.
Time to sit down to write.
In two hours a reminder goes off for me to do at least 10 minutes of yoga to rescue my joints and then it's back to writing. If bells didn't go off every two hours, I could (and have been known to) sit and write for 8 hours without moving. That might work for a 20 year-old but not so much for my old bones.
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I am blessed with this routine and with writing a first draft that flows. I'm a little in love with my characters. I wish they were real so I could have a cup of coffee with them.
And then….It's Done! Great feeling, right?
Then I start on the first edit.
Wake up. Read. Breakfast. Birds. Housekeeping.
Procrastinating. Editing? Not so much fun.
But, okay, at some point…It's Done!
Second and third edits, with beta reader assistance, more procrastinating, no longer any need for a reminder every two hours unless it's a reminder to get back to editing.
Finally…It's Done.
Now it gets harder. The big re-write. Bless the beta readers. One character needs more depth. One chapter needs to be torn apart. Too many adverbs. Too many words.
Suddenly I find myself watching TV series downloaded from Netflix in the middle of the day while my re-write beckons. I have to help a friend find a wedding dress. I need a new playlist for my Sunday night yoga class.
The first draft took four months of fun and the re-write took almost as long but of procrastination. I hear James Patterson's words in my ear – your writing is not holy! If it doesn't move the story forward, get rid of it.
And then, today at 5:10 p.m…It's Done!
I feel like a Cucumber Gin Gimlet or two or five and dancing all night.
My manuscript is written, edited three times and re-written. I've sent it off to three new beta readers.
Sure, I'll be back at it next week after I get feedback but, for now, It's Done.
The Characters Write their Story
Writing Yoga for Detectives: First Lesson https://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Detectives-Lesson-Prero/dp/1512109371 was the kind of experience you've all had where it grabs you by the heart and you trip over your own feet, laughing, trying to keep up.
It was joyous and fun and refreshing.
I met Jaya, Arielle, Tal, Ansui, Rose, and all the others, along with my readers.
Friends of mine asked me if I had modeled Jaya after myself but, really, there's some of me in all the characters. Sure, on some days I feel like Jaya. But on others I'm much more Ansui. At times I'm Tal, while at others I'm more Yitz. Sometimes 82 year old Rose and sometimes 9 year old Arielle. They're all inside me.
Mostly, they took on personalities of their own. Words flew out of their mouths via my fingers on the keyboard, not the other way around. When I tried to create their conversations through my fingers, they most often didn't ring true and I had to wait patiently for my fingers to let go and surrender to the characters.
The story line tumbled out day by day. I was never quite sure where it would all end up.
These are all the kinds of realities that can be frustrating for would-be authors to hear.
What does it even MEAN? That the characters are in control of their actions and words in a book, and not the author? That the story tells itself, instead of the author making all the decisions?
I remember a Hebrew teacher telling my class, when asked how we know whether the plural of a word is the feminine ending "oht" or the masculine ending "eem", that it just rings true or not. "How in the world does anything ring true to someone only just now learning the language?" I thought, in frustration.
Frustrating or not, it's true of language and it's true of writing.
I fell in love with the characters of my first book. And that's what's complicating my second.
The story is taking me to some dark and dangerous places this time. It's not clear to me yet, as I begin writing Chapter 28, if all my beloved characters are going to survive. The plot is twisty and following an ominous path and there are some days when I'm too fearful for my characters to continue.
Several of my characters have begun to show less attractive traits, alongside the wonderful traits with which I originally fell in love. And that's hard. In some ways, oddly, I'm finding it harder to expose their faults than it is to expose my own. (Someone has suggested that, perhaps, their faults ARE my own.)
We're traveling to parts of India and Spain where I've never physically been. How peculiar that after reading about these places, seeing photographs of them and writing about them, I feel that my characters have taken me there and shown me around, through their eyes.
Writing. Not an experience for the faint of heart.
As if self-discipline weren't challenging enough, there you are, meeting yourself on the path over and over, in the most unanticipated places with the most unexpected feelings. Not all pleasant.
This time my characters and their story are sometimes dragging me forward reluctantly instead of grabbing my heart joyfully.
But I'm all in for the journey.
The Yoga of Max's Discontent
The book can be read and enjoyed on several levels.
It is interesting as the tale of one young man's personal journey toward a better understanding of the meaning and purpose of his own life. The reader follows Max's development from a childhood of poverty in the projects to financial success on Wall Street; from his close relationship to a childhood friend and his younger sister to a life seemingly far from each; from certainty to confusion to acceptance of both. Max can easily be the archetype young person in the Western world of 2016.
On another level, The Yoga of Max's Discontent clarifies the basic concepts of attachment, The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, the path to Enlightenment, no-thing and emptiness. I've been teaching meditation for close to two decades, teaching yoga for 5 years and practicing for eight. A decade of reading Buddhist thought and philosophy quite intensively as well as listening to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of hours of excellent dharma talks didn't bring me to the clear understanding this book did.
Of course, it's undoubtedly the combination of all those factors. In any case, I greatly appreciated this book's crucial part in that process.
Max's own confusion at each stage in the development of his path toward Enlightenment created the possibility for suspending my own disbelief in such seemingly bizarre events. His difficulty in grasping the logistics of his spiritual advancement allowed me to recognize the stepping stones in my own journey.
Paradoxically, the clarity I gained also brought me to the realization that enlightenment is not, in fact, something I choose to seek. To the contrary, I've become clearer in my understanding that should I ever approach that state, my choice would be to remain on the path of altruism in this world.
Jaya's in Trouble!
In Yoga for Detectives: Lesson One, Jaya began to understand that her guru's plan for her may have something to do with her ability to solve mysteries and protect good souls who are in danger. But she, herself, is never in any real danger.
In Yoga for Detectives: Lesson Two, all that changes. In the very first pages we come upon Jaya alone, bruised and broken, awaiting certain death.
The twists and turns of this second book take our characters through the crowded streets of Mumbai, into the ruins of temples in Goa, crossing into Basque Country, delving deep into the archives of The British Museum in London and, finally, making their way through the labyrinth of the Three Counties Caves System in the Yorkshire Dales.
Deceit and desperation are the name of the game as Jaya and her friends discover that some people are willing to do anything to prevent the truth from uncovering a saint's extreme unsaintliness.
Once again Ansui, the elder statesman of The Brahmacharya Das Legacy Meditation Center in Manhattan, brings his grumpy disposition, wise quotes and loving heart to the tasks which threaten those good souls who come under Jaya's protective wing.
We learn, together with Jaya, to appreciate Daniel's inner strength and creative intellectualism, as he helps unravel the intricacies of centuries-old secrets. Working together with him from far away, Ananda begins to acknowledge her own growing feelings for Daniel, painfully in conflict with her understanding of Jaya's relationship with him.
And, always, the children's stories are interwoven with the danger, tragedy and heartbreak which the adults encounter. Another young cousin, Yarden, joins Ariel and Tal on a lark, in a European vacation which may be their final adventure.
Sinister and highly dangerous men, cloaked in the righteousness of their religious order pull apart the lives of all the characters we grew to know and love in Yoga for Detectives: Lesson One.
Will they survive for a third lesson?
Read the sequel, Yoga for Detectives: Lesson Two to find out. Available on Amazon Summer 2016.
A Jerusalem Icon Saved – Sefer v'Sefel
One of the toughest things about living a country where the primary language is not English is the lack of easy access to books written in English. I've been living in English book poverty for 36 years. Every time I'm in the U.S. I swallow books whole at the amazing public libraries. I have been known to sit in Barnes & Noble for entire days, reveling in the sheer luxury of being surrounded by books, glorious books.
Kindle has made my feeling of impoverishment much less poignant and, yet, there's still something comforting about the feel in my hands of a book made of paper, bound in a cover, with artwork and author info.
In a little alleyway, up some slippery stone stairs, resides a true icon of Jerusalem called Sefer v'Sefel. Since my very first days wandering the streets of my new and quite glorious city, this super well-organized 2nd hand bookstore has been my refuge in the desert of English books. The proprietor, Uri, a native Hebrew-speaker, for some reason unknown to me, opened up well before I moved to Israel in 1979 and presided over his kingdom with equanimity, a pleasant demeanor and excellent recommendations for almost 40 years.
For the past several years that he has been unwell, which came at a time when ebooks put a serious dent in the store's income, Uri remained a steadfast presence in his realm. But I began to have a feeling of doom walking up those familiar stone stairs, anticipating the day when the gate would be locked and there would be a sign with the dreaded word – CLOSED
Last week when I walked in the (thankfully open) store, I saw a cheerful young woman putting away some books in their rightful place. I responded to her welcoming smile with one of my own and told her I was very happy to see that the store was still in operation.
Her response was, "Well, I certainly am, too, since we just bought the place."
My heart signaled the bittersweet reality to my brain. I won't have the enjoyment of those short but lovely conversations with Uri anymore and Uri won't experience firsthand the love and appreciation he inspires in his decades -loyal customers but the icon that his "baby", Sefer v'Sefel, has become will remain alive and he can pamper himself a bit now that he no longer has to keep up his tradition of ALWAYS being behind the Sefer v'Sefel desk, rain or shine, economic boom or bust.
Thanks, Uri, for 40 years of consistency and the love of books.
Best of luck to Zia!

ArtVilnius 2018. "A Field Of Options" and more
Covering the art fair that was happening in Lithuania's capital from June 7-10
Lithuania has two things that sets it apart from other countries in the Baltic context. Firstly, there is a great four-lane highway between Panevėžys and Vilnius with the maximum allowed speed of 130km/h and which stretches for more than 100km, and secondly, the contemporary art fair called ArtVilnius which gathers the crème de la crème of the Baltic art community in Lithuania's capital. It is, without a doubt, a commercial initiative, and you could become the owner of one of the fair's art pieces presented in a wide price range, from a few hundred euros to a price with a few more zeroes.
But on the other hand ArtVilnius is not just about buying and selling but rather the fair is a big and respectable art festival which is, without a doubt, worth a visit, and it presents itself as quite significant, and not just at the Baltic level. The amplitude of its development is not halting, which is indicated by the current fair taking place in its usual Litexpo complex for the 9th time in a row. It's not just the quantity of galleries exhibiting at the fair (this year it's 55), but the overall level of quality and the combination of "commercial offers" and the objects and projects that are simply only exhibited in the framework of ArtVilnius. One of the spaces in Litexpo is called just that, "Projects", and here you can find not just a sharp and relevant exposition by the crowned "king of black humor" Estonian artist Marko Mäetamm, but also work by a Lithuanian duo SetP Stanikas and their carefully thought-out and impressive installation "Tsar". The tempo and level of the duo's work is certainly admirable, considering just a month ago another Vilnius gallery Vartai exhibited their new and complicated work at their booth at Art Cologne.
Ivars Drulle at the Alma Gallery (Riga) booth
In "Projects" there is an installation by the Latvian artist Katrīna Čemme called "What is Lost is Lost Forever" (Katrīna won the Baltic Young Artist Award in 2017). If we were to talk about winners, then we should also congratulate another Latvian representative, Ivars Drulle, who won the title of Best Artist of this art fair. "Alma", the Riga gallery representing him, was chosen as one of the TOP-7 galleries of the fair. TOP-7 turned out to be rather international this year: besides Alma, there was Contour Art Gallery (Lithuania), Foku (Estonia), Galerie des Petits Carreaux (France), Kogo (Estonia), Piktogram (Poland) and The Rooster Gallery (Lithuania). Some of the most memorable from this list were the multi-layered statement from The Rooster, a gallery that has been exhibited at ArtVilnius for a few years, and an installation by the Estonian artist Laura Kuusk called "Field of Possibilities" at the Foku booth. It consisted of glass bottles with metal spoons in them, placed among several fans that blew air while the metal spoons clinked and the chorus of these sounds allowed one to switch off from the usual rhythm of the fair and to meditate upon that noise.
Field of Possibilities by Laura Kuusk. FOKU (Estonian Union of Photography Artists, Tallinn) booth
This year the focus of the fair was on the Baltic galleries (and in that sense, ArtVilnius is showing respect to the 100th year anniversary of these countries' independence) and the Baltic "wave" was varied and impressive. As per tradition, the Riga gallery Māksla XO exhibited strong pieces as it brought not only painting of different formats (Ģirts Muižnieks, Ivars Heinrihsons, Ieva Iltnere, Artūrs Bērziņš), but also a sculpture by Ginters Krumholcs called "Sunrise". You could look at the works of Aija Zariņa at the Agija Sūna Gallery booth, but you could also see Latvian artists represented not just by galleries from Latvia, but, for example, one of the galleries of TOP-7, a Tartu gallery called Kogo which exhibited an artwork by Elina Vitola called "Common Issues in Painting and Everyday Life". And that was not the only gallery with an erased "national" context, like the Vilnius gallery Tsekh, originally from Ukraine and showing works by both countries' artists. But of course Lithuanian galleries in general were represented the strongest and that was mostly due to painting and photography.
Jonas Mekas. Poets Never Sleep video by Audra Vau
A kind of "patron" of the whole affair was a video portrait of the master of avant-garde cinema, Jonas Mekas, smiling from a vertical monitor, holding a small camera in his hand aimed at the viewer – this is a work by Audra Vau called "Jonas Mekas. Poets Never Sleep". It was exhibited in an extensive part of the fair called "Takas" ("Paths"), which showcased sculptures, installations, video art and performances not directly related to the galleries. Here the Lithuanian sculptor Vladas Urbanavičius became the prize-winner of ArtVilnius, and another Lithuanian artist, Rimantas Sakalauskas, won the prize for the "best young artist" who exhibited a multi-component video installation, and this was not his first time winning a prize at ArtVilnius.
100 Metres of Art by Iveta Laure
There is a lot of art at the ArtVilnius fair and an artwork by a Riga artist Iveta Laure somehow reminds us of that, called "100 Metres of Art" – the passage to the upper "sculpture" floor of the fair was tied with bundles of her textile sausages. It seems very right that the fair is supported by cultural Lithuanian institutions and sponsors as it allows a real event to be created unclouded by the commercial component. On the other hand it would be wonderful if Latvian and Estonian galleries would be closely followed by more collectors of those countries as well. ArtVilnius is worth it.

Article from todays Wall St. Journal on choosing a financial planner. Plus, what to do in the event that your current financial planner retires or sells his business to a larger company.
From , "Advisor turnover roils investors".
When Jerry Roberts got news that his longtime financial planner was retiring and selling his practice to a larger company, "it was very unnerving."
"I very carefully chose my original planner," a sole practitioner in the Robertses' hometown of Indianapolis. "I was cognizant of his investment philosophy, his range of capabilities, and his past experience. I didn't know anything about the new firm coming on," says Mr. Roberts, a 64-year-old retired bank officer.
Like the Robertses, a growing number of people who have spent years building a relationship with a trusted financial adviser are having to start over again with someone new. Planners are getting older -- the average age is 55, and nearly a third are over 60 -- and they are retiring at an accelerating pace, often without a specific succession plan in place. That in turn is helping to fuel a wave of consolidation in the industry, as big financial-advisory firms and banks, including Wachovia Corp., Pennsylvania's Susquehanna Bancshares Inc. and Alabama's Compass Bancshares Inc., seek to control a larger share of Americans' retirement assets.
Read the whole article at the link above. Not just for those whose planners are moving on; there are tips in there for anyone who's shopping around for a financial planner.

Advisor turnover roils investors

In the months following events at Neraka, it was clear that the Dragonarmies were all-but defeated.
Once-emperor Ariakus miraculously escaped the destruction on the wings of his favoured dragon-mount Kabrathorn. He spent weeks in the Taman Basuk, risking capture in a doomed attempt to muster the scattered Dragonarmy remnant under a new banner.
But Evil must turn upon itself. Without the guiding promise of their Queen's return, the disparate forces fell upon each-other in a violent squabble for land and power. Even the Highlord's considerable presence wasn't enough to stop this, and he disappeared soon after ragged contingents of the Red Wing stumbled into Whitestone forces moving south from Kalaman and were obliterated.
Ariakus remains public enemy number one.
Meanwhile the remaining forces of evil pushed out from Neraka. Some headed north, and ran into the renewed vigour of the Whitestone forces pushing south on news of victory in the Taman Basuk. They were quickly wiped out, laying the ground for a lasting peace in the north. Thus purged, Nordmaar and The Northern Wastes became the prosperous foundation on which the new Whitestone Accord could be built.
Hearing of Gunthar's successes, garrisons stationed at the High Clerist's Tower and other fortresses in Solamnia attempted similar feats, but their numbers were much smaller and they couldn't prevent a surge of scattered evil finding a foot-hold in Estwilde, Lemish, and Nightlund. Solamnia itself, defended by a re-energised Solamnic Order, emerged from the ashes of the war with new hope and renewed support amongst the common people. As the military backbone of the Whitestone Accord, one of its primary mandates is now the purging of evil in the west.
To the south, the Dragonarmy remnant found more of a foothold. Silvanesti, having defeated the evil of the Dragonorb with the help of the Heroes of the Lance and its Qualinesti cousins, was starting the long process of rebuilding when the dragon-forces which had once occupied the forest turned south from the Taman Basuk and took up many of their old positions. Over time, with the forces of the Whitestone Accord stretched thin and unable to help, the elves were pushed back to just a few thousand square miles around their capital Silvanost. The Silvanesti elders viewed this abandonment as a huge betrayal, and withdrew all support from the Accord, focusing only on the rebuilding of their homeland and the defence of its borders.
Elsewhere, the Plains of Dust acted as a natural fortification against evil migration to the south-west. Abanasinia and Qualinesti, the very birthplace of resistance during the War of the Lance, were left relatively free to rebuild.
To the east, things are grim. Massive Dragonarmy migration into Khur overwhelmed what little defence the likes of Flotsam and Goodlund could muster, and the entire region of Balifor from Flotsam all the way to the southern coast, was quickly occupied. Only Kendermore, where the redoubtable population put up enough of a fight to persuade the invaders to halt their advance, saved Goodlund and the Dairly Plains from being assimilated.
The kender maintain their defence to this day, harassing encroaching forces and making them regret even coming into sight of the hills and forests of the kender homeland.
The nation formed by this mass-migration is now known as Krelland. Led by "Emperor" Quam Ak-Ruaal, a Khurish mercenary who peddled vast sums of money for influence during the wartime occupation of his homeland, Krelland exerted a string pull on the disenfranchised Dragonarmy forces embittered at total defeat on the very eve of ultimate victory.
In the short time since it was established, Krelland has shown surprising durability, while its population demonstrate an unnerving commitment to their own greater good. This is a matter for some concern, as it appears Quam has achieved what Ariakus could not.
Krelland is a hot-bed of heathen religions and burgeoning cults. Quam publically swears fealty to a spirit called the Sundered Wyrm, assumed at first to be a representation of Takhisis, but upon further investigation by agents of Whitestone publically declared to be an invention of the self-styled-Emperor himself, intended as a common divinity under which the more spiritual of Krelland's citizens could be united. Despite the Accord's assurances, devout followers of this new religion have been springing up in locations surprisingly distant from Krelland, lending credence to the idea that the Sundered Wyrm is a legitimate representation of something, even if the nature of that something remains a mystery for now.
Meanwhile Krelland's borders have expanded north along the eastern slopes of the mountains into Kern, and the Bay of Balifor is now completely under Quam's control. A line of fortifications stretching west from Flotsam all the way to the opposite coast at Alan Ak-Khan makes invasion of Krelland from the mainland a difficult proposition at best, especially as the general populations's appetite for war has already been strained beyond breaking point.
Meanwhile, news coming out of Krelland suggests that its Emperor is making preparations for expansion on two different fronts: east, with a concerted push into Kendermore, and west, where he hopes to expand his influence into the Taman Basuk and assimilate the powerful Dragonarmy remnants still hiding in the foothills and mountains around Neraka.
Krelland is considered a serious threat to peace on Ansalon. Its representatives, upon arriving at Kalaman and demanding a seat on the Whitestone Accord, were summarily ejected from the city and told to expect a less forgiving welcome should they ever return. It's high on the Whitestone Accord's list of problems, but it will be some time before the manpower – let alone the will — can be mustered to address it.

The BeerBros Homebrew Shop has opened it's doors for business! After a lot of hard work, we have finally opened our shop in Hillcrest, at Oxford Village.
What's on the Shelves
The shop's shelves are stocked with base malts, speciality malts, yeast and hops. We also have bottling equipment, brew kits and fittings, along with equipment like brew pots, beer guns and thrumometers. Basically everything you'll need to brew beer. Home brewers will be happy to know that they can stop in here to stock up on the ingredients for their next brew, or just to browse the shelves for items they didn't know they needed.
Homebrew Shop Grand Opening
The opening this last weekend was a great success, thanks to the hard work of the brew crew and the support from friends and family – and by this we mean our extended beer-related family from Durban Homebrewers. The crowd was treated to some fine examples of craft beer – our thanks go out to 1000 Hills Brewery, Doctrine and Clockwork. And we also had some of our own homebrew on tap. The day was a crazy 36 degrees, so the beer was quaffed with great enthusiasm. But the very-able barmen from Quills were certainly equal to the task – thank you, gents.
Given the speed with which the beer was going down, it helped to have a tasty selection of beer snacks on hand. We couldn't have kept the hordes happy without the much appreciated help of our new neighbours – The Curry Okies, Red and Black, and of course, Union Square.
Thank You Brewers!
But our sincerest thanks go out to you, the brewers. Needless to say, the Homebrew Shop would not be a reality without your support. Your enthusiasm for the shop blew us away and we couldn't be happier to be here, helping you with your brewing. Whenever you've asked, we've done what we can to deliver. The Homebrew Shop is the latest realisation of yours (and our) dreams. Thank you for believing in us and for supporting us along the way. With this shop, we're here to help, to get you what you need, and to support you in all of your beer-making adventures. So, here's to the journey; may it be a long one.

The total area of occupation has a size of less than 7000 km2. Horned Guans feed on a variety of fruit, flowers, and leaves in the forest canopy, but also on herbs on the ground. The nest is a simple, and for the size of the bird relative small structure made of leaves and roots, placed in the lower to upper forest canopy. Horned Guans move singly, in pairs or family groups through the forest. At times groups of more than 10 birds gather on rich food sources. Horned Guan is classified as Endangered because habitat destruction and hunting are threatening the small populations.

seing the wrong page? Again?May 22nd, 2008
Funny how Apple sometimes 'fixes' things by giving the remedy a new name:
Under 10.4 the 'fancy' cache would go made quiet frequently. Basically you'd see the wrong web page, while other commands like

sudo lookupd flushcache
used to fix that. Of course the bug has not been fixed in 10.5.2 but the remedy is called now:

Material fraud can occur where employees have access to cash – either via a cash register or other cash transactions not handled through a cash register. In order to help prevent the theft or misappropriation of cash, noted below are some basic controls over cash registers and/or cash receipts:
• Require that paper receipts be given to customers.
• Cashiers should not have authority to "void" or "override" a transaction or approve refunds; these transactions should be approved by management or supervisory personnel.
• Cashiers should not operate from one cash drawer.
• Unannounced ("surprise") cash counts should periodically made of cash drawers.
• Surveillance cameras and/or spotters should be used where appropriate.
• "Management Override Reports" should be reviewed and approved by higher-level officers or officials.
• "Trend analysis" and "data analytics" should be used to identify any unusual increases or decreases in cash receipts (i.e. a review of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual cash trends).

DALLAS - Developers are asking for choice business digs in new buildings in the booming Uptown market.
"Based on recent proposals, rents continue to skyrocket in these premier, existing assets—and are now coming in at around $52 per sf," said Walter Bialas, vice president with commercial real estate firm JLL.
"They also are essentially full in terms of occupancy, so limited space options exist," he said in a new report. "Combine that with the need to wait for 6 to 18 months for the new properties to be completed, and you have a unique situation where existing tenants and renewing tenants have few top-tier location options."
The sky-high office rents being quoted in some of Uptown's newest office developments are about twice the citywide average.
Since 2011, office rents in Uptown's prime buildings have shot up by almost 30 percent, according to JLL.
So far there's no sign of oversupply and a slowdown in rent growth.
"With a continued strong local economy for the next two-plus years, there is no sign of rents plateauing in high-demand locations," Bialas said.
See JLL's 1Q 2016 office report here.

Christmas dinner on an open fire?
I did toy with the idea of making an oven and trying to roast my dinner but decided against it. I did make an oven in the garden once when I was a student. It did somewhat surprise the neighbours when I jemmied up a couple of paving slabs for the purpose. I managed to turn a chicken into carbon in 20 minutes and to burn a cake to a cinder in 7. On another occasion I was sharing with an Australian and a Kiwi and they would have barbeques for breakfast! In an attempt to out-do them my then girlfriend and I found a chimney pot and turned into in a tandoor. Well my girlfriend read Heat and looked on with what would probably best be described as great patients and I burnt my fingers a lot but the result was a fantastic all though possibly underdone tandoori chicken.
So currently the plan is to cook everything over an open fire with the Jetboil as back up. This plan is subject to change, I don't think I will be able to get pizza delivered to a grid reference on Christmas day though.

Have you thought of using a Dutch Oven
Good luck and look forward to your postings.
Have a Merry Christmas.

I have thought about a Dutch Oven but I'm going to try to avoid buying any more kit. I realised this morning that the Swedish Army Billy can that I use seals pretty well so I could put that next to the fire but away from direct heat and roast in that. Then I started getting carried away and thought it may be fun to make an eath oven after all. I guess it doesn't really mater what I do as it's not as though I'm trying to impress anyone with my culinary skills. Besides I'm fairly sure that the satisfaction gained from cooking Chrismas dinner in such a way will far out way whatever it tastes like.

Hey! I've seen you on TV! So how was it like to stay in the forest?

Food! What a wonderful way to attract interest to your woodland living project. Everyone is interested in food. One advantage of roasting over the open flame as opposed to baking in an improvised oven is that the gases from the wood make the food taste delicious (vegetables included). The big disadvantage is lack of control over the temperature. What's needed is a simple method for judging the temperature of the fire at various distances from the embers.

16 December - Cockeyed optimists
you probably know, I live in the 'poor' end of the borough, Lesnes Abbey ward to
be precise. There's not a lot wrong with it, my neighbours are all good,
Bexley's only Zone 4 station is close at hand and Lesnes Abbey park is kept
looking beautiful all year round. What's not to like about the Lesnes area? I'd say
it is the fact it has no heart; no centre and no shops to speak of. If it does
have a centre, it's a rat infested bomb site, the erstwhile Harrow Inn. Demolished
about four years ago and Bexley council has
refused every offer to redevelop it.
There is now a branch of ASDA a mile away which has helped bring a bit of life to the downtrodden north despite the best efforts of councillor Kerry Allon to have the plans rejected. He succeeded first time around! Now he plans to stand for election in Lesnes ward (previously Belvedere). It's a brave move, all the local Tories have done a runner for 2014. Unsurprising, their majorities were as low as six in 2010 and they are going to struggle next time around.
Nothing very obvious has improved within the Lesnes ward since the Conservatives came to power. Parking has become more difficult and much more expensive and we now have a main road on which two buses have difficulty passing. That's about it if you don't count the silly eight inch high fence around the park which is supposed to keep motorcyclists out. At least it works against wheel chairs. If anyone can think of a single improvement in Lesnes ward since 2010 (or even 2006) for which Bexley council is directly responsible please tell me about it.
You don't usually see politicians around these parts, not even on polling day outside the polling station but if Twitter comments are to be believed both Conservative and Labour have been out in force canvassing. I suspect a degree of optimism has been employed, both claim support. Neither party has knocked on my door and I would have been happy to give the Tories a warm welcome too.
Probably the Labour candidate knows he doesn't have to call, we've spoken at council meetings so he will know my views already. His Tory counterparts Elizabeth Anderson and Keima Allen showed up once at the Civic Centre but only to crawl up cabinet members' backsides with planted questions.
The only politician I have seen on my doorstep in the past eight years, it could be longer, is Chris Attard of UKIP.
Lesnes Conservatives. Lesnes Labour don't seem to have a website.

The Free is not the only book I've got out this autumn, you know. Oh, no. The Free's just my October book; my September book (i.e. this very month!) is a handsome collected edition of the comic I wrote earlier this year: Rogue Trooper: Last Man Standing.
I'm quite proud of it, to be honest. Future war, lone warrior, talking gun, conspiracies and chaos. How can that not sound like fun to any right-thinking reader?
You can get it in paper-and-ink form or e-form alike, and if you're tempted but need a little help taking that all important next step of ordering the thing, here's a nice succinct five star review from bigcomicpage.com to do the helping.
Here it is on Wordery, look (I know the cover's different, but that's it, honestly). I really am being helpful today. I might need to go have a little lie down.

Women do a few things that ensure a failed relationship, but before you fly off the handle, take a second to look at things from a man's perspective. You might understand why you and your significant other have quit on each other.
1. You disclose the "dirty details" to your friends.
Women with girlfriends who know more about you than he does are less likely to have a devoted partner. And if you share details of your personal intimacies in your relationship, especially your bedroom activities, you don't deserve his devotion in the first place.
How would you feel if you knew he was discussing the details of your body or skills with his friends? And please, don't think we don't know that you're doing it. Any guy with a modicum of intelligence knows.
Plus, your friends aren't really good at hiding the fact that they know more about us than we'd like them to. Interestingly enough, women who are in fabulous relationships tend not to share any details of their intimate relationship with their friends.
Men like to feel that they're part of an exclusive team; don't deprive them of that by letting others know what's going on in the locker room. Instead, do right by your partner and talk to him about how you feel.
2. You think you can change/fix us.
Ladies, we will only modify our behavior if we're convinced that doing so will make us happier, better men. Any modification to our behavior based on your insistence will not be sustained.
The reality is that you'll see the best part of us when you start dating us. This is when we're trying to impress you. From that point on, you'd better hang on because those little habits you sort of don't care for will later generate a raging wave of resentment towards us.
So, when you consider making a life with a man, look to how his actions make you feel, then listen to his words to see what they make you think of him as a partner.
If his actions make you feel insignificant in his life, cut him loose. And if his words make you think he's unkind or inconsiderate, head for the hills. Just don't try to change or fix us — because you can't. We aren't broken; we're just not for you.
3. You bombard us with social media and technology.
Set aside the Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and other social media. Women need to stop creating an alternative universe — a fantasyland — if they hope to have a rewarding relationship.
Honestly, do you really think spending hours reading about other people's trips to the grocery store, or looking at pictures of people's pets, or reading recipes you'll never attempt truly improves your life?
Stop watching how everyone else is living and start writing your own story, and living your own life. Every time we look over at you and you're on Facebook, we move further away from you emotionally, every single time.
4. You fail to understand and embrace what interests the man in your life.
Not so much what, but why a particular thing interests him so much. If you can understand and embrace his interests before you get too far down the line, you'll be able to share his passion.
If not, you'll be embarking on a life where you both look outside the relationship for satisfaction. You'll be existing in each others presence, but not truly living life together.
For example, his passion may be watching football games on the weekends. You may hate watching football, so why in the world would you commit to a man whose hobby will occupy your entire weekends for a good part of your life? On the flip side, if you understand and appreciate the value of why he loves football, you might have a shot

Read about how Panthers Head Athletic Trainer Ryan Vermillion helped get Lineback Thomas Davis ready for the Super Bowl.
Being offered a seasonal internship with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2015 season was one of the most gratifying moments of my life. Not many Athletic Trainers are privileged to have the opportunity to work in the National Football League and experience what goes on through the daily functions of an NFL athletic training room. Therefore, I made it a mission to act as a human sponge and absorb as much knowledge as I could throughout my time with the Buccaneers.

After 23 years as an athletic trainer, the Kansas City Chiefs' Rick Burkholder has earned the respect of those across the NFL. That could be due to the fact that he's the president of the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society (PFATS), or because three of his former assistants and an intern are now head athletic trainers with the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins.

Before visitors can enter in the area together with the statue, they have to don the right traditional clothing for the area.
Na Muang Waterfalls
While Koh Samui has lots of waterfalls, the Na Muang waterfalls located inland are among the most beautiful because they are ideal for doing such things as swimming, exploring, climbing, or having a picnic. The bottom of the first waterfall may be reached via the "staircases" made by the tree roots and rocks, and at the base can be a large natural pool in which the water is cool and refreshing. The next waterfall is approximately thirty minutes away and is known as Namtok Na Muang or "purple waterfalls" as the rocks contain shades of purple.
