Why? The flavor that first attracted me to theses author has changed. The stories have grown tired or changed focus so completely as to bear little resemblance to the prose which captured my imagination years ago. Yet, to my dismay they remain on the best sellers lists even when their reviews are horrid.
Don't get me wrong, I have the greatest love and respect for these authors and wish them nothing but the best but, as a writer myself, it makes me wonder about the process. Is New York so afraid to venture beyond a chosen few or so out of touch with what the reader REALLY wants that they would rather print a "sure thing" no matter how tired than take a risk on something new and fresh?
I am much more likely to download an unknown these days than one of my former favs. The characters I have grown to love have changed or disappeared, the quirkiness and humor that held me spellbound has been replaced with redundancy and the plot by bad, if graphic, sex. YAWN
Are you finding this to be true as well? I'd really like to know! Drop me a comment. Find me on Face Book, Twitter. Let me know what you think and where the industry is headed.

Elevations along the top of the Rim range from 5,000 to 8,000 feet.
The unique landscape was created by extreme erosion and faulting that has sculpted spectacular canyons and buttes. The rim serves as the geographical divide between the cool high country above and the hot, dry desert below.

The latest results of the annual survey of the public service show a disturbing rise in workplace harassment and a significant rate of workplace stress.
"This is a very disturbing trend," said Robyn Benson, PSAC National President. "Departments and agencies need to act on this and ensure public service workplaces are safe and healthy."
The annual survey of federal public service workers was taken in February and March of this year. It is a shorter version of the Public Service Employee Survey, which is taken every three years.
Harassment, discrimination and poor workplace mental health for many
One-third of public service workers (34%) said their workplace stress was "high" or "very high". A similar number of respondents (27%) felt that their workplace was not "psychologically healthy."
The percentage of workers who said they have been harassed at work was up to 22% from 19% in 2014. The results were even higher for equity groups, with the highest rates of harassment (40%) being reported by workers with disabilities. Aboriginal workers also reported high rates of harassment (33%).
Discrimination at work is also a growing problem. The survey shows a higher rate of employees who said they were victims of discrimination at work, particularly for members of equity groups. In the survey, discrimination was reported by 32% of workers with disabilities, 20% of Aboriginal workers, and 19% of "visible minority" or racialized workers. In all cases, those numbers were up from the previous survey in 2014.
Work of Joint Task Forces clearly needed
PSAC and Treasury Board recently began work on two important joint initiatives: the Joint Task Force on Mental Health and the Joint Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion. Both of these bodies are made up of representatives from the union and the employer.
"The survey results show the urgent need for this work to continue," said Benson. "In the years to come, surveys like this will be the benchmark of how successful we are at addressing these important issues."

Ahead of Santa Cruz rationing vote, state allows more water to stay in reservoir
By J.M. Brown, Santa Cruz Sentinel, 2/24/14
SANTA CRUZ -- To help Santa Cruz better cope with the ongoing drought, the state water board has approved an urgent request by the city to release less water from Loch Lomond Reservoir than regulators typically require for environmental reasons.
The state issued the temporary order with the requirement that Santa Cruz implement mandatory service cuts by May 1 and determined the move was exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review because of the drought emergency declared by Gov. Jerry Brown in mid-January. The city reported that fisheries regulators do not intend to oppose the order.
"It's very significant," conservation manager Toby Goddard said of the Feb. 14 decision from the State Water Resources Control Board. "Over the 2014 season, it will allow us to retain about 100 million gallons of water in the reservoir that could be budgeted for us this season."
That amount represents about 3.5 percent of the reservoir's overall capacity -- important considering the 75 million gallons that evaporate from the lake each year, largely during the summer. Fed by flows from Newell Creek, which are severely diminished due to the drought, Loch Lomond is the city's largest water storage facility and presently 65 percent full.
During normal winters, the city doesn't take water from the reservoir because it can divert water from the rain-fed San Lorenzo River, Santa Cruz's primary water source. But the city has drawn down the lake this year because the river is flowing at levels unseen since the historic 1977 drought and there are mandated cuts in coastal stream diversions to boost fish habitat.
With seasonal rainfall just 26 percent of normal during this second consecutive dry year, the City Council is poised Tuesday to declare a water shortage emergency designed to reduce overall use by up to 25 percent, or 3 million gallons per day through rationing. The city seeks a reduction of up to 10 percent in indoor use and a two-thirds cut for outdoor use.
The city will set monthly water budgets for single-family and multi-family residential accounts and significant restrictions for large irrigation accounts. Customers will not pay higher rates for water used within their allowance but will face penalty rates of up to $50 for each unit of water -- equal to 748 gallons -- used above their limit each month.
Goddard said optimal use is 50-60 gallons per person per day for a single-family home. While that may not require a sharp cut in indoor use for some customers, the average consumption rate per household can grow substantially in the summer when residents water lawns and gardens.
Follow Sentinel reporter J.M. Brown at Twitter.com/jmbrownreports
WHAT: Declaration of water shortage emergency and rationing plan
WHEN: 7 p.m. Tuesday
WHERE: Council Chamber, 809 Center St.
INFORMATION: www.cityofsantacruz.com
While the city of Santa Cruz recommends customers focus on reducing water used for irrigation during a drought period, the Water Department offers these tips for lower consumption inside the home to about 50 gallons per day per person:
1. Install high-efficiency toilets
2. Purchase an Energy Star clothes washer
3. Use a showerhead rated at 2 gallons per minute
4. Fix leaks

This is the last in a series of posts teaching you how to create your first Angular 2 application with ASP.NET Core in Visual Studio Code. Here is the list of posts:
- Part 1 – Prepare Your Machine and Get to Know Visual Studio Code
- Part 2 – Configure a Basic ASP.NET Core Backend
- Part 3 – Configure Angular 2 Dependencies
- Part 4 – Create the Angular 2 Application
- Part 5 – Automate Common Development Tasks
- Part 6 (You are here) – Integrate Angular and ASP.NET Core Routing
This article discusses an important part of the integration between client and server – routing. Angular 2 has its own router and so does ASP.NET Core. In the following sections you learn to setup routing in Angular 2 and then how to support the Angular 2 routing with ASP.NET Core.
This post addresses the high-level concerns of integrating these two routing systems. For more information on the individual routing features for each framework, read about Angular 2 routing here and ASP.NET Core routing here.
.NET Core SDK Preview 3: This tutorial uses .NET Core SDK Preview 3 which is available on GitHub. This version includes 'alpha' support for MSBuild-based projects that use
.csprojconfiguration instead of
project.jsonconfiguration. Microsoft announced that MSBuild is the common project configuration for .NET Core based projects going forward. By using MSBuild, the goal is to better prepare you for future versions of the tooling.
If you would like to jump straight to the code, it's all on GitHub.
Refactor to Multiple Components
In order to implement routing for Angular 2, you need to have multiple components in the project.
Move the contents of
AppComponent to a new component called
PairingComponent which is responsible for pairing Sriracha with foods.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
moduleId: module.id,
selector: 'my-pairing',
template: `
<input type="text" [value]="food" (input)="foodInput($event)"/>

Sriracha sauce is great with {{ food }}

export class PairingComponent {
food = 'kielbasa';
foodInput(event: Event) {
const target = event.target as HTMLInputElement;
this.food = target.value;
AppComponent becomes the application shell including the navigation. For now, the
PairingComponent is rendered directly in the
AppComponent template.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
moduleId: module.id,
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
Pairing |
About
export class AppComponent { }
Also, create a third component called
AboutComponent which serves as a second view.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
moduleId: module.id,
selector: 'my-about',
template: `

About Sriracha

This is what Wikipedia says about Sriracha sauce:

It can be recognized by its bright red color and its packaging: a clear plastic bottle with a green cap, text in Vietnamese, English, Chinese, French, and Spanish, and the rooster logo. David Tran was born in 1945, the Year of the Rooster...

export class AboutComponent { }
Finally, you declare all of these components in the
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { PairingComponent } from './pairing.component';
import { AboutComponent } from './about.component';
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ],
imports: [
declarations: [
export class AppModule { }
app directory now looks like this:
Run your application to see the new navigation.
Configure the Angular 2 Router
To configure the
AppModule routes, import
RouterModule and
Routes from
@angular/router. The
Routes type is an array of
Route objects used to define the routes.
When navigating to
http://localhost:5000/pairing the application should show the
PairingComponent. When navigation to
http://localhost:5000/about the application should show the
AboutComponent. There is also a third scenario. When navigating to the root of the application,
http://localhost:5000/, the application should redirect to
http://localhost:5000/pairing as the default.
This is what the
Routes array looks like:
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', redirectTo: '/pairing', pathMatch: 'full' },
{ path: 'pairing', component: PairingComponent },
{ path: 'about', component: AboutComponent },
pathMatch property must be set for all redirects. In this case, the value
'full' denotes that the redirect should occur when the path is at the application root or is otherwise empty (
Next, register these routes with the
RouterModule and register the
RouterModule with the
This is the final code for the
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { PairingComponent } from './pairing.component';
import { AboutComponent } from './about.component';
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', redirectTo: '/pairing', pathMatch: 'full' },
{ path: 'pairing', component: PairingComponent },
{ path: 'about', component: AboutComponent },
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ],
imports: [
declarations: [
export class AppModule { }
Finally, the Angular router depends on a
base element with
href defined. You add this in the
head of
index.html so that Angular can update the browser's address bar correctly. This is the updated
index.html code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Angular 2, ASP.NET Core Starter</title>
<base href="/">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

System.import('app').catch(function(err){ console.error(err); });
Configure the Navigation
The last step to configure the Angular routing is to configure the navigation to utilize the routes. To accomplish this, you modify the
AppComponent template in two significant ways.
First, instead of including the
my-pairing element in the
AppComponent template, replace it with the
router-outlet element. This is a placeholder where the router renders the component matching the current route.
Finally, you replace the
href attribute with the
routerLink attribute. This is a directive instructing Angular to register the click with the router instead of the default
href behavior.
The final code for the AppComponent looks like this:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
moduleId: module.id,
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
Pairing |
About
export class AppComponent { }
At this point, run the application using Ctrl+Shift+B and start the browser using
npm run chrome which you configured in part 5. Notice how the application defaults to the
/pairing URL. Clicking on the link loads the appropriate component for that specific URL.
There's still one problem. When you go directly to a route URL like
http://localhost:5000/about from the browser's address bar, you see a 404 error. This is a result of the fact that even though Angular knows how to reconcile this URL, the server does not.
In the next section, you configure the ASP.NET MVC routes to return the Angular application when it doesn't recognize the route.
Add ASP.NET Routing
In order to configure ASP.NET routing, you must install the ASP.NET MVC package. Add this
PackageReference to the
.csproj file and then run
dotnet restore from the terminal.
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc">
Once the package is installed, create a directory at the root of your project called
Controllers. Inside this directory, create a file called
HomeController.cs. In this file, create a
HomeController class which inherits
Controller. This is the code.
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
public class HomeController : Controller
public IActionResult Index()
var fileName = "index.html";
var contentType = "text/html";
string filePath = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), fileName);
string fileContents = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(filePath);
return Content(fileContents, contentType);
In ASP.NET MVC, controllers are where a request is processed and a response is constructed. In this controller, the
Index method reads the
index.html file containing the Angular application and returns the file contents as a
text/html response to the browser. This is essentially the same response that the browser receives when requesting
index.html directly. Once the application is loaded into the browser, the Angular router takes over.
In order for the
HomeController to do its thing, you must configure the ASP.NET MVC router to direct all of the incoming requests to the
Index method.
In the
Startup.cs file, you have to add a couple new configurations. First, ASP.NET MVC is configured as a service which requires the
Startup class to implement a
ConfigureServices method. Also, you configure the routes in the existing
Configure method. The new
Startup.cs code looks like this:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
public class Startup
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
app.UseMvc(routes =>
name: "default",
template: "{*url}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" });
MapRoute method takes a configuration object. The
template field defines the URL pattern that matches the route. Because there is only one variable defined in the template and it uses the asterisk, this route essentially handles all requests that haven't already been handled by the
UseDefaultFiles or
UseStaticFiles middleware. Furthermore, the
defaults field directs all of these requests to the
HomeController and it's
Index action method.
At this point, run your application. In the browser, go directly to
http://localhost:5000/about and you will see that the application loads from the server. Once the Angular application loads, it applies the correct route on the client.
The End
This brings the final part of this Angular 2, ASP.NET Core, and Visual Studio Code journey to a close. You have learned a lot about configuring these frameworks and tools to work together. You've learned your way around Visual Studio code. You configured an Angular 2 and ASP.NET Core application so that both frameworks play well together. You created a basic Angular 2 application and automated tasks with npm and Visual Studio Code.
But you have only scratched the surface. This is just the beginning. What was your favorite discovery? Which topics are you most interested in learning about more? Leave a comment below and have fun with your new tools!

Migrants are often viewed by disreputable companies as easy money and traditionally less ethical recruitment businesses have targeted skilled workers on the basis that they are often poorly informed, cashed up and (best of all) in another country thousands of miles away making it hard for them to come and complain.
New Zealand Immigration policy has made the job offer such a core requirement for the majority of applicants that many people are caught in a catch-22 situation where they need to interview in New Zealand to get a job, but can't fully commit to their move without a solid job offer.
As a result many people are desperate and willing to pay large sums of money for the promise of employment.
Unfortunately like most promises of this kind you rarely get what you pay for. Rather than the job offer you are much more likely to end up in the same position without a big chunk of cash as many of these businesses will keep taking more and more money until you give up.
Finding work in New Zealand
It's never been that easy to get a job in New Zealand and almost impossible for most people unless they are willing to come here and meet potential employers.
The recruitment industry is fairly large and links jobseekers and employers together. While most companies just link people together (and take a large payment from the employer for doing so) there are some consultants who perform important services around vetting and psychometric testing for specific roles and of course some actively head-hunt top staff.
What links these businesses together is that they are generally reputable and the employer almost always pays for the new applicant not the jobseeker. Charging the jobseeker is very unusual in New Zealand (and generally a bad sign), charging the employer and the jobseeker ('double dipping') is a really bad sign.
The dark side
Before the recession hit New Zealand there were more and more companies targeting vulnerable and desperate migrants promising they could find them a job without the need to come to New Zealand.
Move2nz came across one such company – NewjobZ – in 2005 soon after launching and quickly realised they were hiding their fees, slipping nasty surprises into the small-print and not providing services for the majority of their paying customers. Those paying clients they did work with were generally just passed to other recruitment companies who worked normally, could be found for free in the yellow pages, and properly charged the employer when landing a job offer.
Luckily complaints to the Commerce Commission closed this bunch down long ago.
Times have been hard for many recruitment businesses since the recession hit at the start of 2009 and almost all recruitment companies moved completely away from working with speculative migrants – those without a visa allowing them to start work – as employers (and immigration) wouldn't accept them.
Things are starting to pick up again however with a 10 percent increase in jobs being advertised of the past year and the looming rebuild in Christchurch which is expected to require 8,000+ migrant workers to help out.
Paying for a job
Today I am here to tell you to beware – the first sharks are back in the water.
The first sign I received was an email from a move2nzer – an IT professional from India – who had been working with a reputable licensed adviser. The adviser referred him to a recruitment business who charged a 'job search fee' of NZ$1,350 to look for a job.
Interestingly not only did the immigration professional know about this fee, they actually sent out the first invoice. Of course once the fee was paid the recruiter stopped answering emails – it appears it was just a scam.
Thousands of miles away from New Zealand the migrant is stuck. They could complain to the Commerce Commission but are unlikely to see their money ever again and are no closer to getting a job offer.
As the adviser was involved you might think the migrant could complaint to the Immigration Advisers Authority about this, but actually the IAA and Tribunal only cover immigration advice and (unike the law commission who watch lawyers) are not interested if a licensed adviser is found to be less than professional when operating any other service.
Sign #2
The second sign was spotting advertising from a very sharp website aimed at the UK market that was so close in operation to the old NewjobZ I had to check who was running it to make sure it wasn't the same crowd. Here's how it works:
- You upload your CV onto their database of 'thousands' for free;
- If you get a job offer and accept it there is an admin fee of $1,295;
- The employer also pays a fee if you are placed.
Some might think that's good – a job offer even though the recruiter is 'double dipping' from the jobseeker and employer. But the devil is in the detail. If the employer doesn't want to pay (and they say "many" employers do not) then you do. In this circumstance:
"…you agree to also pay us a Successful Placement Fee of between 2 and 4 weeks of your expected gross annual remuneration, dependent on circumstance. Fees must be paid within 7 days of receipt of our invoice"
So you end up with a very vague additional bill of between probably $2,000 and $7,500 due within 7 days of starting work – i.e. before you start earning in New Zealand – and have no real ability to check that the employer actually refused to pay.
I should also point out that because of the 90-day 'fire at will' policy introduced in New Zealand back in 2009 you can be fired at any point in the first 90 days of employment (whether you have agreed to this in a contract or not) without reason. Previous examples have shown that if this happens you will very probably still have to pay the fee charged by the recruitment business. Money gone, no job.
But wait, there's more.
With a little digging we also spotted that one of the directors of this company is the founder of one of the largest immigration businesses around.
Reading the small print it turns out that when you upload your free CV you are actually signing up and agreeing that if you get a job offer you will use the immigration services of this immigration business!. That means another bill of several thousand dollars you didn't know about.
Buyer beware!
In my experience no matter what promises are made and no matter how much you have paid eventually almost all migrants will need to attend interviews in New Zealand to stand a chance of finding work – employers will quite naturally want to meet you before taking a risk on offering you work.
Paying for a job or jobsearch might sound like a good idea but very rarely works out. You are much more likely to end up:
- in the same position you were (but with a lot less money);
- paying exorbitant hidden fees;
- passed on to another business that you could have found yourself for free; or
- being tied in to a contract with all sorts of extra costs and requirements.
My advice as always is to contact employers direct – preferably by phone – unless you actually have to go through a recruitment company (for example when applying for jobs in local government). No one else can really tell you how employable you are and no one else is likely to offer you a job.
See move2nz's employment page and articles for details and think before you part with your money.
Wishing you a happy and prosperous 2012.

Perhaps our greatest notoriety, as a couple, is the Queen's and my perpetual wandering. Our social media timelines often resemble a vacation brochure of sorts depicting our travels near and far. More than once a stranger has walked up to me at the gym or on the street claiming to know me from the Queen's Facebook page and a picture of she and I before some tropical or majestic canvas.
From the beginning we agreed that experiences, instead of things, would be the thread used to weave our memories and our relationship. While many couples find their loftiest romantic ambitions in procuring a great view or the latest German sports sedan, we remain convinced that stuff breaks couples apart far more than it brings them together.
Within a month of dating, I had planned our first vacation – a long weekend biker's getaway. Few things better test the bounds of new romance than endless chrome, motorcycle gangs, and biker chicks. It was the first hit in what has since become our addiction.
To be fair, there were less charming reasons that made our wandering spirits a relationship necessity – we never lived together before getting married. To this day, few can get their minds completely around why any couple in the modern age would date for almost seven years and never shack up. Regardless of how noble, that decision wasn't without a cost. It became routine, with kid's schedules, visitation, and work obligations to go several days or more without setting eyes on one other. Travel, for us, then, not only became a way to spice up our online profiles, it acted as a glue holding our relationship together when we were so often kept apart. Longing is made easier when it's capped off with an airplane ride to sandy beaches and azure waters.
But while our separation often urged us towards distant shores, it also had another affect; one we hoped wouldn't get lost after our marriage. Those times apart forced us to be more intentional about our relationship than we otherwise would have been. It's said that absence makes the heart grow fonder; it also can make the will much stronger. Relationships can easily stale when distance is involved. What we discovered during those long periods apart was how we unknowingly set each other to the back of our minds. In the midst of being taxi, cook, teacher, and all-in-one parent, we might go an entire day without giving the love of our life a sincere thought. Out of sight out of mind, as the adage goes. Furthermore, we noticed that coming back together required a warming up period. We needed time to get reacquainted and reconnected.
Likely the greatest relationship book ever written; "The Five Love Languages" talks about every person having a 'love tank'. The tank represents how much we feel loved by another person. If our tank is full, we feel confident and secure in the other person's love for us. When the tank is low we're not getting what we need. Each partner is responsible for keeping the other's love tank brimming. That's a hard enough job as it is– adding distance and separation makes that even more complicated.
We got so into this idea that she and I could tell how full or empty the other's 'love tanks' was just by how we sounded over the phone. If my tank was low, I would often be terse, indifferent, and businesslike. She would typically go dark or have very little to say. That usually sent me into an unspoken monologue punishing the Queen for her neglect and detachment.
If we had any hope of keeping this from being a bi-weekly occurrence, we needed to do some things different. We needed to act intentionally. This meant remaining mindful and keyed into the other's queues more closely. Being sensitive that times of separation would make it easier for those tanks to get low. Text messages, hidden love notes, surprise phone calls – and vacations – were just a few of the arrows in our romantic quiver. Sending the Queen 'good morning' texts became an art form, as someone who isn't naturally creative; I had to find ways to make exciting and spontaneous what would otherwise drift into the mundane and robotic.
This was the fear as we neared our marriage. How would living together and seeing each other every day change that intentionality we had worked to so hard to achieve? Would we find ourselves taking the other for granted simply because that distance and separation were now closed? Waking up with her every morning, would those 'good morning' texts stop and love notes disappear? In other words would we suddenly stop trying? Our fear was manifest in this one thought, would marriage make us complacent? And our concern was heightened because of the baseline we had to measure from – the necessary things we relied on before our marriage that we still remembered after. Put another way, would becoming husband and wife show us both to be masters of the bait-n-switch?
Many years ago I overheard a woman talking to her friend about the disappointment she was experiencing after she had moved in with her boyfriend. "He doesn't send me text messages in the morning any more", she said. While they had bridged their separation, they had lost something in the process that she wished was still there. I often remember that story and wonder if it could ever becomes our own.
Complacency is a danger for any couple, whether a first marriage or fifth. But I believe couples in second marriages are more often susceptible, for many reasons but mainly due to the element called children. For the most part, couples in marriages without children have margin to continue growing in their relationship in a new framework of matrimony. But couples in a second marriage, and particularly those that result in blended families, simply don't have that luxury. There isn't the risk of a honeymoon that ends because for most second marriages the honeymoon never really got started.
Several years ago, before our engagement, I wrote an essay titled, 'Dating As If..'. In it I talk about how I was approaching our dating relationship as if we were already married. Perhaps I need to write a follow-up post about treating our marriage like a dating couple and call it, 'Married As If…"

Republic of Ireland
Republic of Ireland international Stephen Ward became the Clarets' seventh summer signing in August 2014, joining from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a three-year deal.
Dublin-born Ward began his professional career with League of Ireland side Bohemians, scoring 26 goals in 93 appearances in a four-year spell at the club before earning a move to Mick McCarthy's Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2007 after impressing during a trial spell.
He made an impressive start to life in English football, scoring three times in just six games, earning the Championship Player of the Month Award for February. Ward then went on to feature in all of Wolves' remaining fixtures as they narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League through the 2007 play-offs.
By the 2008/09 season, Ward had switched from a forward to position to playing at left-back and excelled as he helped earn promotion to the Premier League alongside future Burnley team-mates Michael Kightly, Sam Vokes, David Jones and Jason Shackell.
Ward made 94 top-flight appearances between 2009 and 2012 and represented Republic of Ireland at Euro 2012 but following successive relegations and with Wolves in League One, Ward moved on loan to Brighton and Hove Albion for the 2013/14 campaign.
A total of 47 appearances followed as Ward helped the Seagulls reach the play-offs, where they were beaten in the semi-finals by Derby County.
Ward was then brought to Turf Moor on the eve of the Clarets' return to the Premier League but his first season with the Clarets brought just 10 appearances after a troublesome ankle injury sidelined the defender for most of the campaign.
But after biding his time for a starting berth in the Championship-winning season, Ward broke into the side in December, 2015 as Ben Mee was moved inside to partner Michael Keane at centre-back.
Ward never looked back and made 27 appearances in total, helping to keep 20 clean sheets in a watertight defence.
A month later, he became the first Burnley player to appear at the European Championship finals when he helped Ireland reach the knock-out stages in France.
His importance to the Burnley squad was recognised in October 2016 when the defender signed a new deal until the summer of 2018.
Ward missed only one Premier League game as Burnley went on to finish the 2016/17 season in 16th in the Premier League.
And after scoring a superb goal to help the Clarets make a flying start to the 2017/18 campaign with an opening-day win at champions Chelsea, the defender penned another new deal running until June, 2019, with the potential option of a further 12 months.
Missing a mid-season spell through injury, Ward bounced back to complete 28 Premier League starts from another ultra-consistent campaign as the Clarets finished seventh in the table to qualify for Europe.

Frame by Frame: A Family-Friendly Movie Blog
Posted: 13 Dec 2011 01:18 PM PST
New Year's Eve
PG-13 for language, including some sexual references.
It's the most hectic, exciting, energetic and busy night of the year for many. It's also a time when many make a yearly trek to Times Square in downtown New York City. Streets are closed, police are many, the party atmosphere is everywhere and of course, Ryan Seacrest is never too far away either. In the midst of the excitement of celebrating the start of a New Year – New Year's Eve celebrates love, hope, forgiveness, second chances and fresh starts.
This is a movie were we find intertwining stories told in the midst of the pulse and promise of New York City on the most dazzling night of the year.
Let The Countdown Begin!
As the countdown moves toward a New Year, we find a group of people working through the everyday ups and downs of life in New Year's Eve. While some of the story-lines do tie together, others do not. The multitude of relationship and romance story-lines include; a singer and caterer, a designer and mystery man, a nurse and a dying man, as well as a teen crush just to name a few.
The cast of those involved in New Year's Eve reads like a page ripped from a Hollywood Who's Who book. There's Robert DeNiro, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Hilary Swank, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katherine Heigl, Michelle Pfeiffer, Zack Efron, Seth Meyers, Jon Bon Jovi and Ashton Kutcher. However, with all those stars, the movie also suffers from a bad case of disjointed story line syndrome. Clocking in at two hours there's just not enough time to have much character development along the way. We end up seeing only snippets of what's going on and from time to time that makes for a bumpy ride with all the jumping back and forth from one story line to another. When you have that much star power there are of course challenges when it comes to giving each star enough screen time.
Another downfall for New Year's Eve revolves around the fact that it appears those involved – including director Garry Marshall – were trying to recapture the success of Marshall's surprise 2010 romantic comedy Valentine's Day. That movie surprised many people and while it too contained a number of stars in the cast, it was not overloaded and bloated with stars like this follow up movie. There are times when the stars involved in New Year's Eve seem to be fighting for screen time. Such was not the case in the earlier Valentine's Day hit. Last, but certainly not least, the appearance of Penny Marshall in her brothers films is simply getting old. Apparently the only way the former Laverne and Shirley star can get work anymore is to make a cameo appearance in her brothers flicks.
Is the movie all bad? No, New Year's Eve is not a total loss. The overall theme of hope, reflection and second chances is a good one. The movie also includes some very intriguing and surprising plot twists along the way too. Just when you think you have it figured out, there's a twist tossed in which makes you say – "Okay, I didn't see that one coming". But, the nice twists and plot surprises do not make for a great movie.
Over all New Year's Eve is a star-studded bloated over-kill movie trying to grab a quick buck while riding on the coat tails of the surprise 2010 hit Valentine's Day. The best thing to say about this movie – "Move along, nothing to see here on the big screen. Wait for the DVD".
Moderately enjoyed the show,

For a girls' night out, we revisited Sol Sun Belt on the West End. Since attending its grand opening party, I've been back a couple of times but never had a chance to write about them. I think it deserves another post.
With a focus on Mediterranean/Moroccan/French cuisine, its menu is surprisingly small — which I think is a good thing since I always believe that smaller menu means more attention to each dish. Between the three of us, we shared two small plates and two entrees. But before we got to the dishes, I must tell you about their Moroccan Fried Bread. Fell in love with the version I tried at the grand opening, then every time I went back I looked for it on the menu. Gosh this time around they actually took it off the menu!! Thankfully, our server was able to put through an order of it to satisfy my craving. It was nice and puffy, similar to a donut but denser and savoury. I really like the seasoning and herbs sprinkled on top. I hope they will keep it on the menu because I will keep on asking for it!
All other dishes basically arrived at the same time for sharing. First, the Grilled Squid Steak was cooked decently, tender, with a nice chew yet not rubbery. I did like the thick cut of the squid steak, which was different from most other squid preparation. The citrus vinaigrette and olive oil drizzle made a refreshing dressing. It feels like this could pass as a summer, salad item as well.
The Pan Seared Prawns & Scallops was good, nicely seasoned. The prawns tasted fresh, crunchy, and scallops were cooked just right. The highlight for us was the crispy pork belly (not bacon) and truffle sunchoke puree, which added extra layers of saltiness and fragrance to the otherwise standard affair.
The Grilled Mackerel was a generous portion. The mackerel was flaky, not overly salty, but I wish the skin was crispy. Instead, the potato latkes became the crunchy element, which paired well with the pepper-based romesco sauce.
Last but not least, the Lamb Cheek Tagine was the evening's special, and it was no doubt our favourite dish of the evening. The meat was oh so tender! So soft that it just melted in your mouth! The use of dried apricot and raisins added some sweetness to it; to some it may be too sweet for a savoury dish but I thought it was just right. The only down side was that the sauce got all dried up in the hot tagine pot and what was left was oil — we couldn't really dip our pita bread in it.
We also discovered that they made their Ginger Ale in-house, so we had to give it a try. It was a bit of a letdown. They added too much soda water so it's really bland, and I couldn't really taste the fresh, kind of spicy gingery flavour that most fresh ginger ale would have.
Final Thoughts
Of the couple times that we were there, the food was really good and was priced reasonably. And it has a nice view of the harbour. Being tucked away on the north end of Denman Street (and north of Georgia Street) is a drawback for them, which could explain why previous businesses haven't been successful at that location. If you haven't been there, now you've heard about it and know where it is. So go visit them and try their food. You won't be disappointed.

Due to a series of events I missed my opportunity to run my last run of 2010 outside. I'm a little bummed about that but I made up for it by doing 2x800 and 2x400 on the treadmill at the gym AFTER doing some strength training and BEFORE doing some ab work.
I started my treadmill workout with a .5 mile warm-up at 6.0 MPH then did half a mile at 8:00 min/mile pace, followed by another half mile at 6.0 MPH and then another half mile at 8:00 min/mile pace. Then I switched to 400s and did .25 miles at 6.0, .25 at 7:30 min/mile pace, .25 at 6.0, and .25 at 7:30. All that added up to 3 miles.
Which means that even though I felt like a total slacker for all of December, I ended up running a total of 51.96 miles!
Like November, December was sort of a "blah" month in terms of running. However, I did manage to finally join the running group for a Saturday morning run and I ran in a snowstorm so I suppose there were some highlights.
I'm looking forward to 2011 (already signed up for three races!) but first I need to do my year in review post and come up with a few resolutions. Do you do resolutions or goals for the new year?

New Birding Link
Diane just sent me a note about the following birding conservation link. "Conservation Birding" is sponsored by the American Bird Conservancy:
"American Bird Conservancy (ABC) and its partners are pleased to introduce the Conservation Birding web site that allows birders to find lodges that contribute to bird conservation in the Americas. Each reserve that has a web page on this site has been designed to support the long-term protection of habitat for rare birds, with direct support from ABC, and is run by a local conservation group. When you visit, you know that the fees you pay contribute directly to the management of vital bird habitat."
Just another way to help protect what we love.

Compliance scheme Clarity Environmental has highlighted concerns over new waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) collection targets after Environment Agency (EA) figures revealed a 9% fall in collections.
According to the EA, 133,409 tonnes of household WEEE was reported by producer compliance schemes between January and March. This is down from 146,998 tonnes for the same period in 2016.
Almost every category of WEEE saw a fall compared with 2016, and collections of large household appliances dropped by nearly 5,000 tonnes.
The last time large household appliances collections fell was in 2012. This was in part due to a fall in scrap metal prices, according to Defra.
In March, Defra set out new WEEE collection targets based on an increase in collection rates over recent years.
Vikkie Fitzgerald, Clarity project manager, said: "This will give little comfort to those stakeholders who have concerns that the target for producer compliance scheme collections in 2017 – just over 622,000 tonnes – is a challenging one.
"It is of course only one fourth of the picture, with collections traditionally increasing in quarters three and four of the compliance year.
"We will expect to see the April-June data in late August, and this will be closely reviewed again."
Mark Burrows-Smith, chief executive of compliance scheme Repic, said: "2016 was a landmark year for household WEEE collections with tonnages reaching a record high in most categories and in some cases exceeding expectations.
"The 2017 WEEE collection targets are ambitious and although it is still relatively early in the year, the quarter one data shows collections are behind these on a pro-rata basis in most categories, particularly for display equipment which saw the highest proportion of collections in 2016 taking place in quarter one.
"As we expected, collections of cooling appliances have remained broadly in line with the same levels as 2016, however mixed WEEE collections have fallen.
"It is important for the success of the WEEE system that all stakeholders remain committed to achieving the targets."
Lighting compliance firm Recolight said lamp collections were slightly lower than the pro-rata target for Q1, at 1,420 tonnes.
Chief executive Nigel Harvey said: "However, the data also shows that some 70 tonnes of non-obligated waste lamps were collected in Q1. This additional tonnage would largely make up the shortfall.
"This suggests that overall, the 2017 waste lamp target is set at about the right level."
The Environmental Services Association said it was disappointed that Defra did not opt for higher WEEE collection targets following the March announcement.

There's this LA/2B website thing that the city of L.A. Departments of Planning and Transportation are using to get input on the city's mobility element. There's even a contest to "Create an itinerary for your ideal car-free day in LA" where you can win $500. Entries are due by 12 noon this Tuesday, tomorrow, May 15th 2012.
The promotion states that though not using a car "may sound tough… you'd be surprised how easy it is…" Note that, according the contest rules, your entry has gotta be in English and can't "challenge… or seek to change current laws" nor "involve political advocacy."
As a car-free person, shouldn't I be excited to hear other folks excited about car-free days?
Well… no. Especially where the underlying assumption is you, dear reader, are a driver; you'll be "surprised" at getting around car-free.
Bikas isn't the first critic to find fault in this contest. Commenter Jennix wisely responded:
This is unbelievably stupid. Thousands of us car-owning Los Angelenos go car-free everyday. While i appreciate that you're trying to get people to thing of doing something different, to couch it in the context of being something so unusual it requires any planning at all misses the point: YOUR DEPENDENCE ON YOUR AUTOMOBILE IS AN ILLUSION.
Car-Free days targeted toward drivers are, perhaps, not such a bad thing. Stuff like CicLAvia and Bike to Work day can get some people out of their daily car-centric routines. As Jennix points out, though, these car-free days shouldn't be seen as "so unusual." They're common and they're easy, convenient, cheap, routine, and even ordinary. When I have worked on these car-free events, though, I've been very vigilant to make sure that official messaging does not broadly assume that all participants are drivers. It's off-putting to message these events with statements like "Leave the car at home today…" etc. It's important that messaging assume that participants will include car-free folks and non-car-free folks.
Every day, there are more than half a million Los Angeles City commuters who don't drive. That's more than one in eight L.A. commuters. That statistic is from a decade old census figure for commuter work trips, so it likely underestimates contemporary trends, youth, seniors and non-citizens. In many L.A. neighborhoods, including where I live Koreatown, car-free residents are the majority.
Hosting a contest that fails to acknowledge and legitimize existing car-free folks ends up undermining the contest's goals – assuming that this contest is designed to encourage folks to not drive so much. I interpret the underlying signals for the contest to be along the lines of: "hey, it's just all us drivers in here" and "wow, it's so tough, exotic, and zany to be car-free." This ends up reinforcing existing city policies that value driving and undervalue bicycling, walking, and transit.
So, who are those "surprising" folks who are "tough" enough to get around car-free. Every day! Wow! Many of them speak Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Bangladeshi, or other non-English tongues. Many of them get around on wheelchairs; some negotiate L.A.'s streets using a white cane. Some are too young to drive; some too old. Somehow I don't think that this contest was designed to get their input.
So here's a fictional contest entry: (oops, I broke the English-only rule)
El día ideal sin carro es así: Me despierto temprano. Mi amigo Rogelio y yo nos subimos a nuestras viejas bicis de montaña usadas que amarramos atrás de nuestro apartamento en Koreatown. Supongo que en un día ideal sin carro, el manager nos dejaría meter las bicis adentro del edificio, pero eso es pedir mucho. Idealmente, estas bicis chafas no tienen las llantas ponchadas o cualquier otro problema mecánico. En un día ideal, los carros que van de prisa durante la hora pico de la mañana no nos atropellan o acosan. Andamos juntos 9 millas al restaurante en el oeste de Los Ángeles donde somos busboys.
En un día ideal, tenemos un lugar seguro donde estacionar nuestras bicis en el restaurante en vez de ponerlas en el medidor de gas atrás. Idealmente, no se roban las bicis. Las propinas son buenas y los meseros y los jefes comparten el monto total con nosotros justamente. La migra no hace una redada del restaurante ese día. No tenemos que trabajar tiempo extra y logramos regresar a casa seguros sin que nos acose la policía.
Idealmente, las tarjetas telefónicas funcionan bien y logro hablar con mi esposa e hijas en Oaxaca esa noche. Las extraño tanto que duele. Están bien y nos da gusto platicar y anticipo el momento cuando todos podamos estar reunidos otra vez. Eso sería un día ideal.
Here's the translation into English:
My ideal car-free day goes like this. I wake early. My friend Rogelio and I get on our old used mountain bikes, which we keep chained up out back of our Koreatown apartment building. I guess on an idea car-free day, my landlord would let us keep our bikes inside the building, but that's asking a lot. Ideally, these crappy bikes we ride don't have flat tires or any other mechanical problems. On an ideal day, we don't get hit or harassed by any cars speeding during morning commute hours. We bike together 9 miles to the West Los Angeles restaurant where we're busboys.
On an ideal day, we have a safe place to park our bikes at the restaurant, instead of chaining them to gas meter in back. Ideally nobody steals the bikes. The tips are good, and the waiters and bosses actually share the full amount with us fairly.The immigration police don't raid the restaurant that day. We don't have to work overtime, and we get to bike home safely, with no harassment by the police.
Ideally, the phone card works well, and I get to talk with my wife and daughters in Oaxaca City that night. I miss her and them so much, it hurts. They're doing well and we're happy to talk, and to look forward to when we can all be reunited again soon. That's my ideal day.
That story points out just one kind of car-free person who's missing in the city's contest. Wheelchair users, blind people, and many others are missing from the contest audience. Please, city of Los Angeles, GOOD, LA/2B folks: don't assume we all drive and, please, if you want people to get out of their cars, show respect to folks already doing it.
At some point soon, I hope to write more about the overall mobility element update process and what I think its possibilities and limitations are.
(Thanks Aaron and Maria for Spanish translation.)
(One last note: apologies for picking on GOOD lately, with this piece and my earlier defense of bike share. I really do like GOOD. I RSS, read and share their posts, enjoy and agree with a great deal of what they have to say. They're very much part of the solution… so perhaps that why I find it jarring when they occasionally publish stuff I take issue with.)

The next flight departs at 8am. First thought of booking a hotel for the night, close to the airport, but that's kind of boring.. so I need some better ideas Thanks, Marco

|Caching Data with GemFire XD
You can deploy GemFire XD as a distributed cache for data that is managed in a traditional relational database system. GemFire XD offers several strategies for using the product as a database cache.
If cached tables require automatic generation of identity column values, then you should use GemFire XD to automatically generate the key values but disable generated keys in the backend database. If the backend database also generates key values, then inserts can fail if GemFire XD has already generated the key.
All updates can be synchronously or asynchronously written back to the database using a 'writer' or the built in DBSynchronizer. For tables that are identical in structure to the backend database, applications can asynchronously "write behind" if you configure the database URL for the backend database.
GemFire XD can also be integrated in object relational mapping products such as Hibernate and provide an L2 cache - entire query result sets can be cached in GemFire XD. Updates done using the Hibernate API will be synchronously propagated to the database and query result sets will be invalidated in GemFire XD.
See GemFire XD Hibernate Dialect for information about using the GemFire XD dialect file with your Hibernate projects.
Application developers can use a tool such as DdlUtils to export an existing relational database schema, transform it to GemFire XD, and import the new schema along with data into a GemFire XD cluster.

Yet, if one were to consider the natural-wine bucket in today's winemaking arena, Salvo Foti is as natural as they come. I have previously discussed his traditional, low-impact, sustainable farming practices built on respect for the land and the people who work it. And that philosophy, and those practices, extend into the cellar.
If the laws allowed it, Salvo would make all his wines using the traditional Palmento (he owns a functioning Palmento on the Vigna Caselle property) but, lacking that option, he ferments instead in oak vats using indigenous yeasts and no temperature control (By the time of crush, temperature on the mountain is cold enough to allow that practice without unduly stressing the yeasts and resulting in the production of off-odors or stuck or sluggish fermentations.). Wines are never filtered and minimal SO₂ is used at bottling. Wines are racked and bottled according to the phases of the moon.
After our lengthy promenade among the vines, and being subjected to hundreds of Lidia's must-have picture compositions, we made our way down the hill and across the street to the Palmento in Vigna Caselle. We stepped through the small entry door and negotiated a catwalk-type structure to the crushpad where a table and chairs resided conference-room style. And it was here that we were treated to Salvo's wines and the philosophies and practices that I reported on in previous posts.
|Salvo Foti and Author (Picture credit Lidia Rizzo)
In this post I report on Salvo's wines. The tasting group was comprised of Salvo, his son Simone, Brandon Tokash, Lidia Rizzo, a female winemaker, and the author. From time to time visitors would pass through to greet Salvo and he would have to take a small break to go acknowledge them.
|I Vigneri vineyards around Mt. Etna (Source: Salvo Foti)
We started out with a 2014 Aurora Etna Bianco Superiore, a blend of 90% Carricante and 10% Minella. This wine was made from grapes sourced from the 5-ha, 5-year-old Caselle Vineyard. Slate, salinity, and eye-popping acidity. Salvo mentioned that this bottle had been opened for a week and offered to open a new one for comparison purposes. We did not object. The new bottle exhibited the same characteristics but with greater freshness. 6500 bottles.
The second wine tasted was the 2014 Vinudilice, made with grapes sourced from Vigna Bosco, a vineyard nestled within the depths of a holly oak forest 1300 meters up. This vineyard lays claim to being the highest in Europe.
|100+-year-old vines in Vigna Bosco (Photo courtesy of

The coloration on this wine was slight. It yielded subtle red fruit on the nose and a density, coupled with freshness and a mineral complexity, on the palate. This is not your grandfather's Rosato. 2,500 bottles.
In addition to the Rosato, we were also treated to a 2014 Vinudilice Metodo Classico. This sparkling wine was stunning but, unfortunately, it is not made every year. This is without a doubt the best sparkling wine I have tasted on the mountain to date and I have not been so excited about a non-Champagne sparkling wine since I tasted the Xinomavro-based Karanika. Fresh and attention-grabbing. Mouth-filling mousse and great persistence. The world deserves to see more of this wine.
Vigna di Milo 2014 is a 100% Carricante Etna Bianco Superiore sourced from a 0.15-ha vineyard located at 950 m asl and planted to 10,000 vines/ha. The wine is matured for one year in stainless steel and then racked into large wooden barrels for further refinement. This wine was fresh to go along with a salinity and slatey minerality. 2500 bottles.
Vinupetra 2014 is an Etna DOC red wine produced from grapes grown in a 0.5-ha plot in the Calderara vineyards of the Feudo di Mezzo district on the mountain's north face. The varieties included in the blend are Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Alicante, and Francisis. The vines here are in excess of 100 years old and are planted albarello style and at 10,000 vines/ha. This wine had a perfumed nose with plum and cherry notes accompanying spice and sweet vanilla aromas. Focused, with a lengthy finish. This wine was pleasing. 3500 bottles produced annually.
In addition to the wines shown above, Salvo produces two other wines (not a part of this tasting). The first is a white made from Carricante, Rhine Riesling, Grecanico, and Minella grown in a 0.4-ha plot in the Nave Vineyard (1200 m asl) in the Agro di Bronte district. These bush vines were planted 10,000 vines/ha in 2005. The wine is bottled under the Vinjancu label.
The second wine is the I Vigneri Etna DOC which is produced from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes given to the cultivators by vineyard owners to make wine for their personal consumption. This wine is fermented in a Palmento and sees no wood during the maturation process. Four thousand bottles of this wine are produced annually.
As an overall observation, each of the wines tasted was of extremely high quality and fully representative of its place. For the Carricante wines, salinity, acidity, and minerality were not in short supply. I remain blown away by the Vindilice Metodo Classico.

Coming Alfa Romeo Stelvio Puts Porsche Macan In Its Crosshairs0
Sponsored Links
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio crossover is looking to best the Porsche Macan in regards to dynamic capability when it arrives early next year, according to Drive.com.au.
The Stelvio, which Drive says will debut at the 2016 Los Angeles Motor Show, is looking to be the sportiest crossover in its class. The model will do battle with other premium mid-size crossovers such as the aforementioned Macan, Jaguar F-Pace and Mercedes-Benz GLC.
Philippe Krief, chief engineer of the Giorgio platform that underpins the Giulia and eventually the Stelvio, told Drive every new Alfa will aim to be the sportiest, most performance-oriented model in its class.
"The (Stelvio) will be the most sportiest in its class, every (Alfa Romeo) has to be like this," Krief said at the recent media launch of the Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan.
Like the Giulia, the high performance Stelvio Quadrifoglio Verde is expected to debut first, with the four-cylinder variant arriving sometime next year. The QV will be powered by Alfa's Ferrari-derived, 505 horsepower 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, which will likely be mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Stelvio will be available with rear- or all-wheel drive, however the QV is said to be RWD only.
More information in regards to the Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV should become available as its late-2016 debut date nears.
