Man beats brother to death for breeding goblins
A 54 year old man, Joseph Ncube, a former patient at Ingutsheni Hospital in Bulawayo, fatally assaulted his brother after claiming that he possessed goblins that were behind the deaths of four family members, the Bulawayo High Court heard yesterday.
Ncube, from Plumtree, appeared before Justice Martin Makonese facing a murder charge in connection with the killing of his brother, Madodana Ncube, 64.
Justice Makonese ruled that Joseph committed the murder while suffering from a mental illness and as such he could not be held legally responsible for the crime.
The judge said he suffered from auditory hallucinations and delusion due to chronic schizophrenia – a mental disorder often characterised by abnormal social behaviour and failure to recognise what is real.
Prosecuting, Nokuthabo Ngwenya said on January 10 last year shortly after 9PM, Joseph went to his late brother's homestead and stopped at the gate.
He accused his brother of bewitching him, telling him that he and his wife were breeding goblins that were responsible for the deaths of four family members, Ngwenya said.
The court was told that Madodana stormed out of his bedroom and found his younger brother gone.
"Madodana was angered by Joseph's actions and took his whip and a torch before following his younger brother on a bicycle," said Ngwenya.
When he caught up with Joseph, he confronted him and demanded an explanation as to why he was accusing him of witchcraft.
The two brothers started fighting leaving Madodana severely injured causing Joseph to flee.
Villagers found an injured Madodana the following morning and they took him to St Annes Brunapeg Hospital.
He was further referred to United Bulawayo Hospitals where he died on January 17.
"My client suffered from hallucinations when he committed the crime and a report by a psychiatrist from Ingutsheni Hospital also confirmed that he was a mental patient. On the day he committed the crime he had run out of medication," said Joseph's lawyer, Felicity Ndou.

text: Changpeng Zhao, the CEO and founder of Binance, guides the budding entrepreneurs in a recent blog, about the communication titbits while approaching for business proposals.\r\nIdeal Time and Place to Pitch New Ideas\u00a0\r\nChangpeng Zhao prefers entrepreneurs to contact his official communication team to pitch their business ideas rather than meeting him at conference places amidst crowds.\r\n\u2018To the Point \u2018Approach to Present the Ideas\u00a0\r\nCZ expounds that business proposal should be pitched clearly and directly rather than a vague and lengthy narrative. CZ adds that vague proposals get ignored most of the time and he prefers a direct approach in the very first sentence.\r\nWhom to Pitch the Ideas\r\nIt\u2019s better to approach the proper channels to get the work done efficiently and rapidly. He suggests approaching the company helpdesk for a speedy action regarding any grievances or to the specified department for any business proposal rather than approaching the top person of the company directly.\r\nOpen for new suggestions\r\nCZ further explains his core interests and role in his companies. He is keen to hire the best team members for his company and personally takes an interest in doing so. He also keeps a tab of the discussions within the business community and embraces the potential suggestions to improve their products and services.\r\n\r\nElaborating more on what he expects while pitching ideas, he mentions certain points:\r\nPitching ideas precisely via pointers\u00a0\r\nFor an efficient conversation, a point to point precisely written presentation is least misunderstood and is easier to perceive. Preferably, a single page pitch creates a good impression of a clear vision.\r\n\r\nGraphical display of ideas might be tricky for a proposal and personally fancies him less. For a job application, he suggests approaching with a handy hardcopy of the resume.\r\nBusiness card for Introduction\r\nWhen one is meeting a person first, or even second time, he might not be able to recollect your name. So the best strategy is to advance every business to meet with a business card.\r\nPitch time ideally 5 minutes\r\nFor effective delivery of ideas, CZ insists that 5 minutes is more than sufficient for a new as well as old business contacts.\r\n\r\nIf one has to pitch someone, get to the point directly rather than lengthy and forcible introduction like a salesman. It also provides space to the front person to inquire more if he develops an interest in the very concept.\r\nPitching with Right Approach\r\nAs per CZ, he prefers an in-person meeting with the following approach:\r\n\r\n \tBusiness card introduction\r\n \tDirect to the Point approach\r\n \tElaborating the benefits of the project directly\r\n \tA single page or single mobile screen proposal\r\n\r\nBest Way to approach\u00a0\r\nPersonally, CZ actively interacts with people on his twitter account, but he asks to fill the request form available on his company website to materialize any personal meeting requests.

Product Information - Installation - FAQ - Reviews
Product Information
The Engine Oil Drain Valve's patented design combines the convenience of easy operation with the security of a safety lock. To open just lift the control lever and give it a quarter turn. To close simply turn the lever back a quarter turn until it locks closed into its original position, double sealed to prevent leakage.
Simple Installation: The Engine Oil Drain Valve permanently replaces the standard drain plug. Once in place, just lift the lever from its locked position and turn it a quarter of a turn to drain oil.
Proven Quality: Forged brass and stainless steel construction. The stainless steel spring prevents accidental opening. The "ball valve" design is just like the design of valve used in pressurised gas applications and so it provides a straight flow for efficient drainage and a perfect seal when closed.
Durability: The valve is a simple but effective locking system. The stainless steel spring prevents accidental opening. It requires two distinct actions to open it and its heavy-duty construction will withstand any engine vibration.
Genuine Part: The Engine Oil Drain Valve has been tested and granted "Genuine Part" status by six major motor vehicle manufacturers in Japan.
Save Time & Money: Reduce the cost of fleet maintenance. Minimise oil changing time, improve OH&S conditions by eliminating mess and contact with hot oil. Convenience of draining a small amount of oil from engine if accidentally overfilled. Draw samples for oil analysis with ease. Stripped threads are gone forever.
Versatile: Sizes to fit all heavy duty trucks and buses as well as cars, vans, light trucks, 4WDs, motorbikes, marine engines and industrial equipment.
N-Series Valve:
The Engine Oil Drain Valve is also available in an "N-Series" (with a nipple) which will accept a hose to allow draining of the oil away from the engine. This makes it perfect for hard to reach places like marine engines, generators, pumps and compressors.
Warning! "N-Series" valves are not recommended for cars with low ground clearance. Please make sure there is enough distance from the ground.
Endorsements: The Engine Oil Drain Valve has been tested and granted "Genuine Parts" status by 6 major motor vehicle manufacturers in Japan, including Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Isuzu. These approvals were not granted easily and gaining them was a testimony to the quality and durability of the Engine Oil Drain Valve. In the United States, the Engine Oil Drain Valve is being installed at the factory level on some of the vehicles and equipment made by Ford, Kohler, Freightliner, Caterpillar, JLG, GEHL, Ingersoll-Rand, Sullair, Toyota, Case, Magnetek, Timberjack, Lincoln Electric, Vermeer, Baldor, Terex, Deutz, Phaser Marine Generator and many others.
Valve Installation
Since the thread part of the Drain Valve is made of Brass and has a hollow construction, install it by hand and with a wrench, give only a 1/4 turn to tighten it. Please take care not to over tighten. *Some valves (i.e. T200, T201, T202, F110) do not require a gasket as they are self-tightening tapered threads.
Safety: Drive carefully at all times and if you run over any foreign object on the road, pull over and check the valve for any damage or leak. N-Series valve (with Nipple to accept hose) is not recommended for passenger cars with low ground clearance.
Warranty: Fumoto Engineering of America offers Lifetime Warranty on its product against faulty workmanship to the original purchaser (with proof of purchase) for any defective product. This warranty does not cover any damages due to misuse, abuse, negligence or accident.
For users under extreme conditions: If you are using the Engine Oil Drain Valve on off-road vehicles such as 4WDs, farm tractors and logging equipment under extreme environments (i.e. corn fields, bush areas), it is recommended that a plastic tie be used for extra safety and security. The plastic tie, which can be purchased at any hardware store, will firmly keep the lever in the locked position at all times, just cut it to drain the oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Engine Oil Drain Valve going to leak?
No. The "ball valve" design of your Engine Oil Drain Valve is just like the design of valves used in pressurised gas applications. Every valve is constructed to exacting specifications and each and every valve is tested for air tightness before it leaves the factory.
Will my Engine Oil Drain Valve open up while I am on the road?
No. In its closed position the Engine Oil Drain Valve extends from the oil pan only about 10-15mm more than a standard oil drain plug. The valve's simple but effective locking system requires two distinct actions to open it and its heavy-duty construction will withstand any engine vibration. Over 2,000,000 Engine Oil Drain Valves have been sold in the past ten years and no problems have been reported.
Does my Engine Oil Drain Valve protrude into the interior of the oil pan and prevent full drainage of my engine oil?
No. The threaded oil drain plug hole is always reinforced to accept the threaded bolt of the drain plug. In most cases, the Engine Oil Drain Valve will not extend past this threaded portion of the drain hole and will allow the oil to be properly drained. Your Engine Oil Drain Valve will let you drain your engine oil while it is hot without burning your hands and it is much more effective than trying to pump the oil out from above.
How long will my Engine Oil Drain Valve last?
Your Engine Oil Drain Valve is constructed of corrosion resistant forged brass and stainless steel. To gain the approval of motor vehicle manufacturers it was subjected to temperatures -20 degrees Celsius. It endured 336 hours of salt spray and thousands of openings and closings and still functioned perfectly. You can expect the Engine Oil Drain Valve to outlast your engine.
How much does the Engine Oil Drain Valve stick out from the oil pan? Is it safe to use the N-Types valve (with Nipple) for cars and light trucks?
The Drain Valve for passenger cars and light trucks is approximately 20mm in length. This means that the valve sticks out only 10-15mm more than the regular plug head from the oil pan. The Nipple on the N-Types Valve extends from the valve for 15mm. We do not recommend using the N-Types valve for vehicles with low clearance as the valve may stick out too far down to the ground.
"We use them on everything with an engine, even our forklifts, and we have for ten years now...I'm not aware of any failures, that's just not been an issue." Tom Jarvi VP, Maintenance & Purchasing Consolidated Freightways
"We think that the Engine Oil Drain Valve is an excellent product. The sealing appears leak proof, the two-step tap opening is likely to be very reliable... and the convenience of use indisputable." Julian Edgar, Editor Autospeed.com.au

Give It All We Got Tonight
I kept waiting for the remorse.
Or the shame.
Or even fear, pulsing, haunted memories of being hurt and attacked, but that didn't linger long, it seemed to have faded away, a distant memory whose existence was created only as a turning point.
The regret never came.
From the moment I woke, still nestled blissfully in the warmth of Jackson's arms, right up until those final minutes before I stepped off the plane, the only thing I felt was peace. My heart and my mind were finally in sync, telling me that I was in the right place, with the right person.
I finally felt complete.
The sun was peeking through the wooden blinds of the room, sending tiny beams of light bouncing off the walls, filling the air with a hazy glow.
I knew it was probably close to lunchtime when I finally stirred, my eyes fluttered open briefly, still lost in the dreams of glorious slumber. As I slowly woke up, my brain buzzed to life, and all the memories of the last two nights flooded my thoughts.
That attack changed me. And while it was a terrible thing to have lived through, it made me see everything around me differently, that life wasn't always so black and white, and that there were no guarantees for tomorrow.
My mind just suddenly became so clear when I saw Jackson holding that tray in front me last night. Trying so hard to take care of me, his eyes so full of worry and fear. Never in my life had a man looked at me the way he did, or did everything in his power to surround me with beauty and awe. My heart finally had enough. It needed him.
The first thing my eyes focused on was a beautifully sculpted bare chest, rippling with pure muscle. My cheek was resting against it, I could feel his warm skin and hear the beating of his heart; it was rapid and strong. It sent little prickles of expectation shooting through me, and my body became very aware of how close, and how naked, we both were.
Careful not to disturb him, I lifted my chin slightly to look up into his face. He was already awake, those green eyes looking down at me so seriously, I wasn't sure what he was thinking, and I tried not to panic when the thought that maybe he was filled with remorse rang through my head.
"Good mornin' Beautiful." His voice was bare, raw and husky, thick with his accent, and he moved some of my hair, tucking it away behind my ear. Those words just swam around my heart, making me forget my made up panic, and I smiled at him, a little bit embarrassed that he'd been watching me sleep.
"Good Morning." My voice was just as coarse, heavy with emotion, and I couldn't hide it even if I tried.
His arm shifted slightly, and he moved his hand away from my hair and let it travel slowly down my back, stopping near my waist. It sent goose bumps all along my arms and legs.
"You feeling okay? Sleep well?" His mouth was right near my forehead, I could feel his warm breath float across the top of my head, and after I nodded at him in reply, he leaned closer and pressed his lips to the skin above my eyes, engulfing me in his presence and warmth.
I let my hand spread out over his chest, closing my eyes and inviting his kiss. This just felt so good, I could feel his fingers pressing into my waist, that alone made me want to arch my body against him, encourage him to keep going.
He gave out a tiny murmur; it almost sounded like a sigh, and gripped my closer to him for a second before pulling away, moving his upper body so that we were level, face to face.
"I want you Beautiful." his eyes searched mine carefully, and I wanted to stop listening, just reach out and pull him to me instead. If he wanted me, he could have me. But he kept talking, and I realized that he was telling me something very important, perhaps the most important words I would ever hear from him, "You are the most amazing woman I've ever met, and I'm really happy that you're in my life. I want to keep you here, with me, for as long as I can. I know you have to go back, I would never do anything to hurt you, make you choose, I'll respect the life you lead when you're not with me, but when you are, I'll do everything I can to make you happy."
His fingers stroked gently along the skin at my waist as he spoke, the seriousness in his eyes never leaving. And in this moment I could tell, he meant what he said, he understood the risks, and he was willing to take them anyways.
I didn't have to think twice. It wasn't like those soap operas you see on tv where everyone pauses dramatically before those heartfelt speeches, where they have to stop and wonder if this was the right thing for them to do. I knew it before he even finished talking. I probably knew it from the moment I looked into his green eyes back at his very first concert.
"I'm here. When you want me, when you need me. I won't ever ask for anything more, or make you choose. I would never let you risk your career, never." And I was saying it plain as day. Something I never imagined in my entire life I would do, become someone's mistress, so candidly, giving myself away so easily, but I did, because any other choice would leave me alone, without him, and I couldn't bare to live like that.
He gave me a small smile, one that didn't quite reach his eyes, and brought his forehead down to mine, his eyelids fluttering close. He was struggling, I could tell.
I didn't want him to fight with my choice, it was mine, and I made it. Nothing was going to make me change my mind, I didn't even want him to think about it, so I just lifted my hand and wrapped my arm around the back of his head pulling his face to me, trying to make him get lost in my kiss.
His kisses were amazing. The way those lips brushed over mine, the sweetness in it mixed with that vigorous hunger…his tongue slipping in, tasting and teasing me. It was easy to give into the want, and I stopped thinking about everything else except this handsome cowboy in my arms.
Last night had gone by far too quickly. I didn't get the chance to explore this man like I did now. Didn't realize how turned on I got when I heard his grunts and groans. Realize how thick and perfect he felt in my hand, and that low grumble that would escape him every time I squeezed. The longer my mouth moved down his neck and across his chest, the faster the sweet country boy charm left him, leaving behind nothing but a raw, passionate man who moved over me so skillfully.
He entered me, filling me more than I ever experienced, more than the one and only man I ever been with, more than Clint. His body molded to mine with such uniqueness as if he were made just for me. I could feel his muscles twitching in his arms and chest as he thrust, see the tiny beads of sweat form on his brow, the way his mouth opened with small gasps. He always watched me while he moved, his eyes full of desire and affection. That look alone probably had the ability to make me come. I would stare into those green eyes and get so lost in them, and that burning ache would begin to swell in the pit of my stomach and travel with such heat between my legs, making me arch my hips to try and meet his thrusts, to try and sate that thirst.
I didn't have to work at it, try to build up arousal. It came so naturally with him…just by touching him, kissing him, so easy. I never knew lovemaking could be like this, didn't know how I would ever be able to go back to living without it.
I watched her, for the longest time. Watched the way the wavy streams of sunlight would bounce off her hair, the way she would smile in her sleep, or the tiny freckles she had dotted along her bare shoulder. I was also acutely aware of how hard she was making me, even when she was doing nothing more than sleeping.
And then there was the guilt. I tried to push it to the back of my mind, but still, it lingered. All kinds of thoughts battled for space in my brain, had I taken advantage of her in her fragile state? Risked everything for one night?
I knew that I would be able to live with myself, after doing this, but I couldn't bear it if she hated herself when she woke up, if she wished, even for one second, that this never happened.
Those sweet, beautiful eyes finally opened, and I watched her come to life, raising her head to look up at me. By instinct, I reached up and moved some hair off of her face, hoping we wouldn't lose today, what we found last night.
"Good Mornin' Beautiful." I wanted to say more but I was literally overwhelmed by those deep brown eyes, my words caught in my throat, showing my emotions more than they should.
She answered me, and I strained my ears, trying to hear if there was fear or remorse in her tone. There wasn't any, just pure honey in her voice, sweet, rich.
It set my body on the edge, and my hands had a mind of their own, traveling down the curve of her shoulder, the dip in her back, resting at her waist, trying to control the urge to keep going.
"Are you feeling okay? Sleep well?" I should have asked her right then if she was okay with me still holding her, if she was okay with us, but I didn't want to face it just yet, if she said no. I wanted to hold her a little bit longer, feel her next to me, kiss her again.
My body was still fighting, it wanted her hands on me, wanted her mouth on mine, wanted to be buried deep inside her.
It was all I could do to press a small kiss on her forehead, tried to show her I really did care. She reacted to that, her hand moved to my chest and she seemed to snuggle closer to me, I could feel her breasts press softly near my rib cage. It nearly tore a groan from my throat, and I could feel my fingers start to dig into her waist, bringing her closer to me.
I knew I had to be honest with her, starting right now, before either of us moved one step further. So with overwhelming desire, and halting hesitation, I pulled away from her, moving my body down so that I could look into her eyes.
"I want you Beautiful." I kept my voice steady, my eyes locked to hers, making it clear that I wanted to make love to her again. But more than that, I wanted her to know how important she was to me, wanted her to know how much I valued her, and that I would move heaven and earth to make sure our secret would stay safe. I would never throw it in her face, or threaten to tell her husband, never interfere with their lives, or make her choose between him and me. I also wanted her to know that whenever she was with me, I would do everything in my power to make her feel beautiful and special, to show her the world in a whole new way.
She watched me quietly as I spoke, her eyes searching mine while she took a quick breath. She didn't hesitate at all in answering me, telling me that that she would be here for me, any time I wanted her. That she would risk her whole life, for me. And she would ask for nothing in return, not the fame I'm sure she knew she would have if we were a public couple, or the money, nothing, she asked for nothing.
And it tore at me.
Instead of feeling relief at her words, I struggled to swallow the feeling that I was letting her down, turning her into something that would be marked with shame instead of the glistening star I knew she should be.
She could probably see it in my eyes, but she didn't let me wallow in it. She just pulled me down to her, wrapping those slender arms around my neck and pressing her body into mine. She lips still felt every bit as good as they did last night, and it set my body on fire the moment we touched.
I didn't think it would be possible, but this time felt even better than the last. She was sliding her body up and down mine, her nails scraping against my skin leaving these pink trails down my arms. Her warm mouth found it's way up my neck and right behind my ear, tearing an unexpected moan from my throat.
And when she wrapped her hand around me, pumping along my sensitive skin, I just bucked my hips into her hand, and she would squeeze back as if she knew how badly I wanted her.
It was always hard to stay in control once I was inside of her. I had to fight this wild animalistic urge to come, tell my brain to slow down and breathe, to make it last. She didn't make it any easier for me, her eyes would stay locked to mine and those pink lips would part in desperation. Her hips would tease and taunt me, trying to match my every thrust, and with each push I could feel myself going deeper and deeper, heading closer to the edge all while trying to pull away from it.
Her body felt amazing around me when she came. A low gasp would escape her throat, her fingers would dig into my back, it felt like every muscle she had would convulse around me, pulling me in harder, taking me higher, and it never failed to make me come with her.
This woman here was everything I always imagined I would fall in love with, and I knew I would forever curse myself for not meeting her first.
I don't think we left my house at all in those next seven days. We spent the entire time getting to know more about each other, sharing stories, laughing.
I just loved watching her hang out in my bedroom with me wearing nothing but my T-shirt, her eyes all bright as I told her more about myself.
I was a man possessed, trying to make her laugh every chance I got, just so I could see that smile. Didn't hesitate to pull her in my arms anytime I felt like it. And she looked happy, snuggling up to me while we watched old movies in my theater, standing on her tiptoes to kiss me on the cheek while I cooked us dinner, sitting there on one of the stools in my studio with nothing but admiration in her eyes as she watched me work, her hair all tousled and messy from us making love earlier.
It was all just some perfect dream. I just hoped neither of us would ever have to wake up.
"You ever afraid of anything Jackson?" We were sitting in my studio when she asked me that. I was just playing around with my guitar, giving it a few turns and spins, all kinds of inspirational thoughts running through my head. Her question took me by surprise, and I stopped what I was doing to look at her.
"Afraid?" I pondered for a second, "That's a hard one…umm…everything?" I half joked, but at the moment, I was afraid, afraid of losing her, and that really was everything.
She just laughed and shook her head at me, her eyes all bright and sparkling, "No silly, you can't be afraid of everything, just one thing. Are you afraid of just one thing?"
I cocked my head to the side at her words, still trying to be a little funny, "Bears?"
She giggled again, "Well yeah, bears, me too." And then she got a bit more serious, "I'm afraid of getting lost, and spiders." She added as an afterthought.
"Getting lost? Is that because you got lost when you were a little girl?" I was intrigued with this new piece of information, this new little tidbit about her.
"Yeah, probably. Ever since then, I hate not knowing where I am…or not knowing where I'm going to lend up, new places always scare me, sometimes I feel like I can't breathe."
I contemplated that for a second before offering her one of my own fears. "I'm afraid of my audiences."
"What?" she sat up straighter, her eyes full of question.
"I'm afraid to touch them. Just some crazy fear that they won't let me go, that I'll wind up being pulled into the crowd and jumped on." I shrugged, "Sounds dumb, I know."
She shook her head at me, "That doesn't sound dumb at all." She tilted her head to side, studying me quietly, "I would've never guessed. I mean, when I see you out there, you look so confident, so commanding. I can't imagine you being afraid of anyone."
"I don't know why, I'm not really that social, pretty private in real life. Sometimes I look out into those crowds and all I can think of is that all those people, they want something from me, a part of me, and I'm just not ready to give it." I almost couldn't believe I was telling her this, something I'd never told anybody before, not even my parents knew this. But she made it easy for me to share, I actually wanted her to know.
"Maybe you just don't see yourself like other people see you, because I think your audiences, they look up to you, and I don't blame them, because I think you're pretty great myself." Her smile just lit up the room, and I had to put my guitar down and lean over to kiss her.
"I think you might be the only one." I said softly into her lips. She just smiled brighter and placed her hand up near my cheek.
"I'm not the only one." She said pulling back just a little bit so that she could see my eyes, "I'm just the lucky one."
I felt like a princess. Jackson doted on me hand and foot, making me laugh with all his sweet and funny jokes, his silly stories. I loved hearing the teasing tone in his voice, the way he would tilt his head to the side in mock seriousness before winking at me.
He never seemed to get tired of hugging me or pulling me in his arms. I loved being twirled around in his arms, in the circle of his warmth. I couldn't imagine a man more perfect than this. I knew he had his faults, we all had faults, but this man standing in front of me, he really was remarkable.
I found myself talking to him about things that I never even talked to Clint about. Little things about myself that always seemed so unimportant to share with anyone, but I shared them with him.
And he listened too. Not just halfheartedly either, he always stopped whatever he was doing and gave me his full attention, making me feel like he really wanted to hear what I was saying.
The more we talked, the more little things began making sense. He told me about his fear of his audiences, the reason why he would never touch them. His story just sent me back spinning in time and I remembered watching his struggle back at his concert before he walked to the edge of the stage and knelt down. I remembered the look in his eyes and the way he kept moving his hand away from all the screaming fans.
To me, his fear made perfect sense, he was human, lots of people might be afraid of those crowds, some might never even have the courage to step on a stage, much less perform out there. But to him, it was some kind of failure, something that should have been easy for him. I could tell he didn't see it, see how special he was, maybe nobody ever told him that, so I decided that it would be me, I would always remind him of how great he was, always.
The day before we were set to leave Nashville, he took me out to the lake behind his house. It was really pretty there. Lots of green grass and colorful little flowers blanketed the hillside. The water was this gorgeous deep blue color that flowed and bubbled up along the rocks as it made its way down the stream. Jackson threw down this soft grey quilt across the grass and led me over to the water.
We got close enough so that he could show me how to use his fishing rod. I fished once back in Terra, when I went camping with my parents and a few of their friends. I didn't think I would ever want to do it again. Fishing was hard. It didn't seem possible that he could teach me to fling a weight off a wire string, holding a stick, without hurting someone in the process.
Jackson, of course, thought this was hilarious.
"Umm, Miss Ara, you don't throw the entire rod into the water. That scares the fish."
I just rolled my eyes at him, trying not to get my shoes wet as I pulled the fishing rod out of the water for what felt like the hundredth time.
He chuckled again reaching for me, "Come here baby, let me help you."
He stood behind me, sliding both hands around my waist and down my arms before helping me guide my hands over the heavy wood. "Your left hand will do most of the work, you just slide your finger here over that little trigger button, back and forth, you don't let go, this is the the hand that stays put, grip the rod tight, squeeze it, if you have to."
His words sure didn't sound like he was talking about fishing, and I could already feel my heartbeat start to quicken.
"My left hand?" I was merely repeating his words, trying to hide how he was affecting me.
"That's right Ma'am, your left hand. Your right hand slides up here, a little higher, this is the hand that moves, up and down." he pulled on my arms guiding me through the motions of throwing a fishing line.
"And when do I let it go?" I turned my head slightly, I could see the outline of his face out of the corner of my eye, he was this close to me.
He just chuckled again, planting a soft kiss to my nose. "You don't let it go baby, you hang onto it. The line will release as soon as you press that button."
Geez I was almost dizzy now, and the way he was holding me, just pure provocation.
It took three more tries before I actually remembered to press that button while swinging the pole around at the same time. I watched my lure spin crazily in the air and plop down into the water, sinking slowly until it disappeared.
"Oh!" I gasped, turning to Jackson in delight, "Did you see that? It made it. It went in!"
He grinned at me with a soft chuckle and hugged me tightly, my back pressing into his chest, his chin resting on my shoulder. "See baby, you can do anything."
"Look, look, now we can catch a fish." I nodded eagerly, "How long do you think it'll take?"
Jackson pressed his lips together trying to hold back a laugh I'm sure, "Uhh…might be a long wait baby, the fish don't come that close to shore where your lure landed. They usually hang out further back."
I wrinkled my nose at him, turning in his arms, "Just how further back do they like to hang? We haven't got all day you know."
His laughter echoed across the water and I let myself giggle with him, happy that I could make him laugh, he looked perfectly content, standing there in his baseball cap and jeans. He didn't look anything like a famous country star, just a regular guy, just my guy.
He reached out and took the pole from my hands, winding up the wire with this little hand crank thing. "Let me show you Beautiful, I know exactly where they like to hang."
God if I had a camera now, I would be taking a million pictures, because he looked so amazing as he threw that fishing line into the water. His entire body flexed and pulsed, his shoulders looked miles wide and you could see the outline of the muscles in his legs through his jeans. The grip he had on the rod actually made me jealous. I couldn't take my eyes off of him even when the lure went soaring through the air, almost halfway across the lake.
He turned and winked at me once the lure hit the water, "See baby, what do you think about that throw?"
"Hmmm…" I placed my hands on my hips giving him a little frown, "I don't know, I didn't like it, not far enough."
I don't think he was expecting that answer because the grin faded a little from his face, and he glanced back at the water, and then at me again. "Not far enough?" His mouth stayed open a bit in disbelief.
"Nope." I shook my head; "I think I need to watch you do it again, and then, maybe again after that."
He was just about to complain when it hit him, his words got all jumbled up and his face was a cross between amusement and outrage.
He took a few steps back towards me pretending to throw his fishing pole down to grass in exasperation, a mischievous grin on his face. "Oh you thought it wasn't far enough, huh? You wanna see me do it again, huh? I think maybe you just want to check me out." he reached out and pulled me to him even though I had turned to try and get away. We were both laughing, and he picked me up in his arms spinning around and headed back for the water.
"You wanna see how far I can throw?" he teased.
"No! No! You wouldn't dare." I tried to bury my face in his shoulder, my fingers gripping him tightly as he waded into the water, shoes, jeans, and all.
"Oh, you're daring me now. Tsk tsk…small town girl like you should know better than to dare a country boy."
"Okay,okay,I'm sorry! I won't do it again, please put me down, pretty please." I begged, still holding on tight.
"I don't know pretty lady, I think I might have to teach you a lesson."
"Please, please, don't put me in the water." I burrowed my face in his neck trying to suppress my giggles, "It'll scare the fish!"
The sound of his laughter filled my ears and made my heart skip happily, he just hugged me tighter and moved me around to face him, holding me up with those strong arms so I wouldn't get my feet wet, and lowered his head to mine.
His kiss melted my heart, I could feel my body relax against his, my arms moving around his neck as I kissed him back. When his kisses got more serious, more demanding, it didn't matter that I could feel the water lapping over my sandals, getting the hem of my jeans wet, all that mattered was returning that desire I felt in his kiss, of showing him that I wanted him too.
He moved us both out of the water slowly, and when we reached the bank, he let me go, his hands making quick work with the zipper of my jeans and pulling the soft flannel top down off my shoulders.
My hands pulled open the snaps of his shirt at the same time, and I fumbled with the buckle of his belt with my fingers.
"Having trouble?" he teased against my lips, his hands had already found their way to the clasp of my bra, and he opened it easily.
I gave him a half grunt still trying to figure that darn buckle out, "This thing is huge, how do you get it open?"
And he was laughing again, kissing me harder, helping me undo the buckle and kicking off his jeans, lowering us both down until we lying on the soft material of the blanket, filling me entirely and moving ever so slowly until I thought I would burst. My nails dug into his back, my hips rose to meet his, my back arched. We just kept moving together until we both found it, until it exploded between us at the same time.
We stayed out there until the sun set. It made the water look beautiful, glistening and sparkling like tiny diamonds all across the blue. I looked back into that handsome, sexy face across from me, and I knew that I belonged here.
We boarded my plane early the next morning. It was hard. I was holding onto her hand so tight the entire way. My brain just kept repeating over and over that there were only hours left, and then minutes.
And just as fast as she came, she would be gone.
She looked just as distraught as I felt. Trying to make small talk, giving me these sweet wavering smiles that would only make my heart ache all the more.
She was going home, and I was heading out again, Louisiana was next on my tour, and while it usually was a rowdy good time for the guys and my crew, I wasn't looking forward to this one at all. It didn't matter that I had to fly all the way out to Washington to drop her off, and then all the way back, if it bought me a few more hours with her, that was all the incentive I needed.
In fact, I was already missing that perfect little paradise that we'd found back at my house. I wasn't ready to let that go, didn't know what I was going to do with myself for the next few weeks, how to keep from going crazy without her.
I told her that I would see her in about three weeks. That she would love seeing Oklahoma City with me. That place had everything. Bustling downtown with lots to see and do, you'd never believe that it also had these wide open plains and valleys that looked miles and miles long, all coated with the greenest grass you'd ever see.
She seemed excited about that, and I could tell that her smile was finally real then.
But neither of us was smiling when the plane touched down, when we knew that our time together had come to an end.
Even though I wanted to, I knew I couldn't walk her down to the terminal, there would be too many people. We would have to say goodbye right here.
She didn't say much, just leaned forward in her chair and pressed a kiss to my cheek, her fingers softly sliding down near my jaw as she did that. My heart was already hurting, already missing her.
I did my best to keep things light, to try to look positive, make it seem like this wasn't going to be hard at all, that we could do this forever if we had too.
"I'll see you in Oklahoma City, Beautiful." I nuzzled into her neck one last time.
"Yes," her voice wavered, and then she pulled her head back to look at me with those brown eyes, "I'll be there."
She didn't turn around to look at me again until she reached the doorway, she paused there, her hand resting on the door frame, and tilted her head in my direction.
"Take care Jackson." She said, before turning again and walking out the door.
And just like that…I was alone again…

I'm new to deploying .NET apps, so please let me know if any more details are required.
I developed a C# console app in Visual Studio with MySql. This was deployed on 2 Windows 7 machines via ClickOnce Application and works fine. Tried to install in on a Windows XP machine and got the following error:
System Update Required:
Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly MySql.Data Version 188.8.131.52 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.
I've done some googling and I don't think it's any of the issues that have been mentioned - no firewall, no antivirus, on Administrator account with all permissions. I checked C:\Windows\Assembly and MySql.Data.CF.dll V 22.214.171.124 is listed.

Any ideas?

Yesterday afternoon on the beach I encountered a pair of Sooty Oyster Catchers. I managed to 'shoot' one of them but attempts to get them both in the frame close enough to create a worthwhile photo were fruitless. Still I enjoyed trying and I loved watching these delightful maritime avians pottering among the seaweed looking for snacks. So free are the birds.
|Sooty Oyster Catcher - not worrying
|Sooty Oyster Catcher - still not worrying
But life has tossed me other things to think about and I have created some pretty negative feelings in response to some of those. I need to give myself a mental overhaul to get unstuck. Do you ever find your thoughts going in circles around a subject? And then when you extricate yourself from that round-a-bout it finds another issue to do the same with. And another. At present my mind is a showground comprising the following round-a-bouts (how honest can I allow myself to be here? how vulnerable?):
- money - my supply is dwindling fast. I took a year off and well, money in a bank account only goes so far. Why haven't I won the Lotto yet? Hence,
- work - to do some supply teaching? (am I ready to go back to work yet?)
- work - I have a job ready to begin in February which is exciting but also daunting until I get my head around the details. It will be part-time so there will be room perhaps for...
- business - am I brave enough to launch into massage therapy again? I have only to secure insurance and I'm pretty much ready to go. But feeling fearful is getting in my way. Do I have the energy to give to this?
- work - could I work in retail for a while just to get some cash flow? Can I get a resume up and send it to some retailers (everything is online these days or I would have done this earlier). Currently my computer doesn't have Word so I haven't put my resume together. I could do this at the library. I have to return some books today. I could do this today.
- home - is currently with my mum. It is so kind of her to have me here. I look forward to one day having my own place again. But I have to be working to even entertain this idea. And I've needed to rest.
- health - I am stronger and more resilient than I was at the start of the year. I'm not sure yet if it's enough. I find it easier to manage my health when I am in one place. It requires my constant attention to create an environment for healing. I am too easily distracted from my goal of optimum health. I self-sabotage often, but I am on the right track generally. On, on with this one. It is the foundation for my life.
- relationships - with family, mostly great. One very sad separation from my son and this has continued for almost two years now. It is hard but I understand. I hope for re-connection in the future. My daughter is almost 28 and I love her dearly. I appreciate every time we are able to spend time together on the phone or when I can visit her on the mainland of Australia. Mum is amazing. I am 60 and back home with Mum. It's not what I expected from life. I've learned you don't get what you expect, but I'm also learning that there are things I have control over and mostly that is how I respond to life. I'm smiling more at this end of the year than I was at the beginning so that's a good thing. I am so grateful for the hugs, laughs and conversations I have with other family, both close and extended. I am lucky to have you all in my life.
- relationships - with friends, interesting. I don't have a great many close friends and many of those live distantly from me. I know a lot of people and embrace them as beautifully human and sharing this life journey bumping in and out of my life. I love it when I see them. If there's time for coffee and chat, great. I'd love to spend more evenings chatting around a campfire, outside. I have been single for a long time. Relationships with friends change when you don't have a partner any more. It's something I've noticed. Sometimes it's hard. But mostly it's given me a massive opportunity for personal growth. I'll be a better partner if there comes a time, simply because I have grown so much from being alone.
- men - feelings. fear. excitement. fear. fear of what exactly? change. commitment. loss. grief. I've spent a lot of years building walls and recently started dismantling them. It's scary as hell but there is more of life to live, and being inside a fortress might be safe...but how limiting. I like men. I like their company. They are good people. Most of them. Most of the time.
- vulnerability - there is a lot of talk about being vulnerable. As a woman I have to keep myself safe. it is not safe to be vulnerable. There is a clash here of sensibilities. One must be safe but to be safe one must not entertain risk. relationships. the nature of them is risk. risk being hurt. risk suffering loss and grief and that soul-sucking loneliness that follows. That feeling of not being good enough or of being knocked down again. I am the one that leaves. I have to learn to trust myself again. To know that what I have learned is that I can ask questions and risk the difficult times in order to grow in a new way and to stay. I am wiser. But I need to learn to trust that wisdom.
- shiny things - this is my metaphor for all the things on the periphery of life that grab my attention. They take my eyes off the prize (whatever that is) and split my energy into ever smaller fragments. My passion, if you like, is learning. I am interested in almost everything that shows up and like a bower bird, collect bits of paper, emails, addresses, phone numbers, course numbers, print-outs, ideas, ideas, ideas, ideas and other things and then feel constantly frustrated by an overwhelm that brings me to a standstill and I don't get to do any of them. I sometimes wonder if a bullet journal would help. Or is that just another shiny thing that I would use for three days and lose on my desk and feel guilty about (wasting time setting it up, spending money on it, etc)?
- travel - I'd love to do more. I've been a bit of a gypsy this year and I love it! But I need...return to top of list.
So, I have a poster I made up titled 'How to Stop Overthinking'. I can't remember where I got it from now - I made it as I listened to a pod-cast I think. There are 11 tools to help me. I look at it often and sometimes it helps. I share them here for those that might get some help from them and with due respect to the original author. I may have re-worded in some cases but it is not entirely my own work by any means.
- Look at the big picture - what could go right?
- Set a deadline - any action is better than no action.
- Start your day right - have a morning routine.
- Take action - paralysis robs us of living our lives.
- Accept that there are things beyond your control - centre and focus on what you can control.
- Ask for the time to think - use time productively.
- Don't get swallowed up by your fears - fears almost never come to life.
- Exercise your way to a clear head - go for a walk.
- Sleep - equals time to process information and work on solutions subconsciously.
- Make an effort to be present - if you are feeling overwhelmed.
- Be mindful but don't fill up your mind - deal with one thing at a time.
Wise advice and all of the above apply to me. I torture myself on a daily basis with circular thinking around my troubles and it can be utterly exhausting. Thanks to the person who came up with this list. It really is very helpful. (If anyone knows who the author is please let me know and I will give due credit).
In some ways, I expect a lot of these issues will resolve themselves once I take action. Too much time sitting and stewing is not a healthy thing. So here I am, sitting and writing down what might otherwise do my head in today. Can I consider myself free now that it is done? Perhaps not as free as the birds, but at least a little freer than I was before I began. Writing always helps.
Wishing every one of you a fabulous day. Let me know in the comments what you think...or are you lucky enough not to be stuck in your head? Can you just 'Let it go, let it go'? If you can, I think you're one of the lucky ones!
Cheers for now
I'm off to have a cuppa with a gorgeous friend...
and maybe then I'll go bird watching again.
Kerry :)

Camping is a great way to spend time with the family, and you can make it even easier and more fun by using some of these camping hacks we've picked up over the years! Every year I think I'm going to get organized and write this camping hacks post before the camping season begins. And every year I recall that goal as I'm sitting around a campfire or using one of my camping tricks, and I realize that it's already the middle of camping season and I spent all my time and energy getting packed to go camping, rather than writing about it. (Priorities, people!) So this year, I'm… Keep Reading
Easy Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub
I've been a little obsessed with Himalayan salt lately. I mean, it's got it all… color, texture, and health benefits! What more could a girl ask for in a salt? So when I recently bought a 5 pound bag of it because it was pretty, I realized I should probably come up with some good ways to use it. It seemed a shame to waste all that pretty pinkness in food where you can't see it, so I decided to make some into a salt scrub. Now I can enjoy the health benefits and the pretty color, all while getting smooth skin! ~ This post contains affiliate links. If you… Keep Reading

Get Outside! With a Free Camping Checklist
Time to go Camping! Y'all, it's hot outside. I mean what-happened-to-Spring-how-did-we-end-up-in-the-middle-of-Summer hot. Around here, we escape to the mountains whenever the desert gets too hot and dry. One of the best things about New Mexico is the mountains are never far away, and they are always cool and refreshing. Where it All Started A few years ago, we bought our first camper, a sweet little vintage Apache pop-up camper. I really had no interest in camping before that. My husband is an outdoors-man who loves hiking, backpacking, and generally any sport that requires peeing in the woods. Me, not so much. I'll take my "roughing it" with a side of comfort… Keep Reading

Free Printable Paint Can Labels
I love organization. I love it when everything has a place and happily occupies that place. Labels are my friend. Marie Kondo is my spirit animal.

Vaccination updates are an essential part of preventive health care, to help us and those around us avoid discomfort, disruption, or death. For us retired folks, three stand out: the annual flu shot, the Shingrix series of two for shingles, and the new pneumonia shot. You can get them at the drug store if they have a pharmacist who has the ability, or at your doctor's office.
I'm not a licensed medical anything so check with your doctor to be sure that you are getting the best vaccine for your needs.
In the good old days, the one shot everybody got was the flu shot. Maybe you didn't bother; you weren't risking much personally if you were in good health. As the years wore on, however, the flu got somewhat harder to get over. And there was the little matter of causing others to catch it if you had it. So smart employers often set up flu shot clinics, or sent you to one run by health care providers. It usually didn't cost you anything.
Maybe, like I did, you got the old shingles shot after age 50 and a pneumonia shot sometime as well. Chances are those are not helping any more.
For example, I have a history of chicken pox so I got the shingles shot several years ago. Ditto the pneumonia shot, which I had at the hospital when I was in for something unrelated. They gave me my flu shot that year, too.
Some folks don't feel comfortable with getting vaccinated. There's the idea that if you get a flu shot it gives you the flu. It doesn't, really, but it does activate your immune system. For easy people like me, there's a little warmth at the site of the injection. My husband, however, gets chills and a little achy and draggy, though not like he gets when he really has the flu. He's on the other end of the reactivity spectrum from me.
At our age we really don't have to worry about becoming autistic or having damaged babies any more. It's a matter of staying healthy for ourselves and for those around us.
The flu is a big deal. In the 2017-2018 year the flu killed over 80,000 people in the US alone. A century before the great epidemic carried off 50 million people around the world, or one in ten infected.
Pneumonia takes the lives of people weakened by other illnesses, such as cancer, COPD, or heart disease, more easily than it does healthy people. Over a quarter million people get pneumonia each year and about 50,000 die annually of it.
The pneumonia shots now being prescribed counter bacterial pneumonia. There are also viral and fungal varieties of pneumonia, but we can vaccinate against the bacterial kinds, so we do. They're the usual opportunists that make people sick from going to hospitals and clinics.
Many of us will have had the PPSV23 shot, and that's good. But my doctor wants to give me the next one, PCV13, to protect better against Streptococcus pneumoniae infections, which can not only cause pneumonia but also infections of the bloodstream and even meningitis.
Shingles is a painful rash that sets your nerves to thinking they're on fire, according to a friend who had it. If you had chicken pox as a child, and many of us did, you have what it takes to get shingles in later life. Shingles comes on when your immune system is weakened, like with cancer or cancer treatment or anti-rejection drugs for someone with a transplanted organ. It's more common with elders.
Though shingles usually forms on the body, it sometimes forms its rash on one's head and can endanger eyesight. In rare cases, because the virus lives in nerve tissue, it can cause meningitis. So it's an important thing to be aware of.
Not only that, the rash can cause blisters and those are full of the virus, and contact with that virus can cause people who have it to get chicken pox. So there is a public health component to this too.
Zostavax, the shingles vaccine from 2006, is a good shot but only lasts about 5 years. The newer vaccine, Shingrix, was released in 2017 and comes in 2 doses 2-6 months apart. It is preferred over Zostavax now. Medicare Part D covers shingles shots so check with your insurer. That said, retail costs for two Shingrix shots can run above $300 total; Zostavax is still around and is an alternative. It's cheaper and may be better tolerated than Shingrix in some people.
As always, check with your doctor to see what's right for you.
So, as a confirmed vaxxer, my hope is that you will check this out with your doctor to see if you are up to date with vaccines. If not, find out how best to remedy the situation. That way, you will be better prepared to ward off these infections, save yourself some pain and discomfort, and possibly save your own life or the lives of others.
Me? It's time to update the vaccination record again. I will have the PCV vaccine in February, that's all set up with the doctor. And I will ask her about the Shingrix as well because it's been over 5 years from the Zostavax. Just let me get in touch with the Part D provider and find out how much money to get out of the stash!
