Adventures of a Texas Ranger
I discovered bestselling author Jon Land's thrillers because K.J. Howe recommended them, so I owe her for a lot of reading pleasure. The first one I read, A Walk in the Darkness, featured a Palestinian policeman Ben Kamal and Israeli security agent Danielle Barnea, not exactly the couple everyone would predict. And they have issues aplenty, of course. I loved the book and started looking for more.
A short time later, I was walking through a bookstore and spotted Strong Enough to Die, the first in Jon's series about Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong and her extremely unlikely and unofficial partner. The book sucked me in like the proverbial black hole. I couldn't wait for the next one. Or the next.
Jon makes his Lair debut today with the latest installment of Caitlin's adventures, Strong At the Break. He has published thirty novels, with the second Caitlin Strong adventure, Strong Justice, named Library Journal's top thriller for 2010. His first nonfiction book, Betrayal, will be published by Forge Books in January. It's about decorated FBI agent Bob Fitzpatrick and his struggle against overwhelming odds to nail gangster Whitey Bulger. Welcome, Jon!
I love writing Caitlin Strong—let's get that out of the way right from the start. In my thirty years of writing novels, there's never been a character who's come more to life for me. But how did she come to life in the first place?
Actually, Caitlin's origins go back to a conversation my editor Natalia Aponte had with one of the heads of sales at Tor/Forge, my publisher. They were discussing the state of the genre and bemoaning the fact that with all the thrillers out there, bought predominantly by women, there wasn't a single female thriller series hero. Not one. Sure, there were lots of women heroes driving less action-oriented mysteries, but nothing akin to what I like to call a female Jack Reacher after Lee Child's seminal creation.
Well, after Natalia relayed this conversation to me, a light bulb went off in my head. I was looking for a new theme and potential series hero, something dramatically different than the Michael Tiranno "Tyrant" character I was coming off of in The Seven Sins. That was truly an over-the-top-book, as many great thrillers are, and the last thing I wanted to do was another just like it. I wanted instead to work with a character who was more conflicted, flawed, down-to-earth.
I'd always wanted to write about the Texas Rangers, having long been fascinated by their well-earned reputation for being badass lawmen and gunfighters. So the light bulb that went off shined squarely down on the notion of featuring a female Texas Ranger in the first of what I already envisioned as a series.
Making Caitlin a Texas Ranger, and a fifth generation one to boot, provided instant credibility for her character as an action hero. She's got a past she's not too proud of and the first book in the series, STRONG ENOUGH TO DIE, opens with her sorely searching for some form of redemption she finds by going up against an evil military-industrial company called MacArthur-Rain for reasons more personal than professional.
As always, I knew very little of this when I got started. Things just started falling together and if you asked me where it all came from, I honestly couldn't say. But I knew I had something here that I'd never experienced before and STRONG ENOUGH TO DIE left plenty of room for Caitlin and Cort Wesley Masters, a man she wrongly put in prison and ultimately falls in love with, to grow and develop as does the second book in the series, STRONG JUSTICE.
I think I actually have the most fun with Caitlin's relationship with Cort Wesley and his two sons for whom she becomes a kind of surrogate mother. The thing I love about their relationship is that it's defined by conflict. The romance is there, yes, but so is the tension. It's never easy for them. Take the following excerpt from the just published STRONG AT THE BREAK, for example. Caitlin and Cort Wesley are headed to Mexico, where he's wanted for murder, on the trail of his runaway 16-year-old son Dylan.
"You call the cops?" Caitlin asked him.
Cort Wesley looked like he couldn't believe she'd even posed the question. "I called you."
"What about Dylan?"
"His phone's going straight to voicemail. Turned off so you can't locate him by GPS."
"What kind of head start he got?"
Cort Wesley checked his watch. "An hour now. Bit more maybe."
"Guess we both know where he's headed."
"You casting blame on me in that statement?"
"Why, 'cause you never took him down there to see Maria Lopez like you promised?"
A year before, Dylan had saved the life of a runaway Mexican girl named Maria Lopez who'd been part of a kidnapped group of girls being ferried to a worksite outside San Antonio. Problem was the man he'd saved her from turned out to be behind four hundred serial murders of women across the Texas-Mexico border, embroiling both the Texas Rangers and Cort Wesley Masters in a battle with drug cartels and a renegade Mexican colonel. The embroilment ended with a host of bodies being downed and Dylan emerging with a chip on his shoulder he dared the world to knock off.
Facing down one of the deadliest men ever born, as close as to the spawn of Satan the world would ever see, had imbued the boy with a bravado and hardness that had come to define too many of his actions and thinking. That attitude had made school an afterthought and had led inevitably, Caitlin knew, to his actions of today.
"I've been busy too, in case you haven't noticed," Cort Wesley told her.
"South of the border, right?"
"Why you looking at me that way?"
"What way is that?"
"You got something to say, just say it."
"I think you should have stayed clear of Mexico," Caitlin said, the words feeling like ground glass in her mouth. "You're not exactly popular with the federalés, one Major Batista in particular."
"You ever know something like that to stop me?"
"No, that might actually take some honest thought."
Cort Wesley stopped looking at the road ahead of them and turned to glare at her. "You know what takes some thought? Figuring out how many Americans still got legitimate business south of the border they're too scared to conduct given the danger involved."
"So they pay you to make them feel safe."
"Where's this headed, Ranger?"
"You kill anybody in Mexico?"
Caitlin watched him freeze up, his features locking as his chest stopped its quick motions in rhythm with his nervous breathing. She drew the folded-up piece of paper from the pocket of her jeans.
"You're wanted for murder down there, Cort Wesley. And I'm supposed to bring you in."
There it is, all the ingredients that define their relationship or, should I say, their struggles to build that relationship. Relationships, and emotion in general, form the basis of virtually every great story ever told. I have very high aspirations for my Caitlin Strong books and the primary thing that distinguishes this series from others is that the characters continue to change and evolve. And so do their relationships. While the three Strong books can be read in any order, reading them in sequence definitely adds to the enjoyment since you can follow the development of these complex relationships, especially the romance between Caitlin and Cort Wesley, from the beginning. You can see the dichotomy that is Caitlin who finds herself pulled toward the familial life offered by Cort Wesley and his sons and life on her own in the classic mold of a Texas Ranger or old-time gunfighter.
You see what I'm getting at? The Strong books have as much emotional or romantic suspense as they have tension derived by Caitlin's pursuit of villains before they can do terrible harm to the country. My plots are always big, the stakes very high, and in the Strong books I've made the emotional stakes just as high to make sure you'll always care about the characters. I guess that's why I keep writing them and you can look forward to Caitlin's fourth adventure, STRONG VENGEANCE, next June for more of the same.
For more about Jon Land's books, check out his website.
Jon is giving signed copies of STRONG ENOUGH TO DIE to three commenters today. The prize post will go up at 11:45 tonight.
So post a question for Jon about the book, the Texas Rangers, or his writing, or tell us about a couple in a book or a movie you enjoyed who started out as fierce antagonists and ended up together and why you liked it.

Ooh, welcome to the Lair, Jon--your books sound intriguing. I do enjoy fierce protagonists--it makes the reading exciting :)

Hey, Fedora, you got the chook! Now that's a conflicted character if I ever met one!
Jon, welcome to the lair. We love having blokes here (the cabana boys are inclined to sulk but they'll get over it!). I love the sound of Caitlin Strong. Clearly a STRONG heroine, even her name is strong. And Nancy and I tend to have similar tastes so I'll definitely try your books. Actually I'm thinking about the enemies into lovers trope right now. Just read a book called CAPTIVE by Christina Phillips about a Roman soldier and a Druid priestess. Pretty much classic enemies into lovers. I love how the stakes are so high in those stories and the love really has to be strong to surmount the barriers dividing the couple.
- July 19, 2011 at 12:50 AM
- Nancy said...
Anna, the Roman soldier and Druid priestess probably had a lot to argue about!
Has Joan read that book?
The stakes are huge in Strong at the Break, and Cort Wesley's son Dylan finds himself in way over his head. Lots of angst and conflict and, yes, boom along the way. :-)

Jon, one of the things I've enjoyed about these books is the way you've worked in the history of the Texas Rangers. How did you become interested in them?

My favorite book of all time, LONESOME DOVE by Larry McMurtry, features 2 Texas Rangers. Jon Land you are new to me, but I will be seeking you out.

Hi Jon, a warm welcome to the lair. Thanks Nancy for bringing Jon to us today.
I love the idea of a female protagonist in a mainstream thriller--that excerpt was a fantastic set up of conflict! I particularly like that your charcters' relationships grow and change over the series. Too often action characters are two dimensional and static and all the books start to feel the same after a while. I imagine it makes it more of a challenge for you to write, too.
What's your process like? Do you plot or do you see where the story takes you as you write?

Well done Fedora have fun with him
Whoo Hoo Jon this series sounds fantastic thanks Nancy for inviting Jon along to meet us today.
I have always ejoyed stories and movies about the Texas Rangers although I have to be honest most of them have been in the wild west so something set in these modern time would be very interesting for me.
I do enjoy the sound of the conflict with the romance always makes for a good story I think. Do you write love scenes in your stories and if you do, do you find them easy to write.
Have Fun

Oooh what a great guest, Nancy. Thanks so much for bringing Jon to the Lair. Caitlin sounds like my kind of character - will be checking out the series asap. Actually, love the sound of the other book too ... there goes the TBR mountain! Luckily a lot of it is hidden on my iPad these days *g*.
Suz Brockmann does a great job with such characters. Similarly, Karen Rose, Tess Gerritsen and Lisa Gardner. On a lighter note, the latest SEP does a great job with characters who are pretty strong antagonists.
My favourite TV series at the moment is Leverage - kind of a modern day Robin Hood series. Our own Beth Andrews got me hooked on that one.
For strong characters, I loved Saving Grace (though only the first two series) - Grace was masterfully written. Bordering on unacceptable, yet softened at the right moments. I also really like The Closer.
One of the best villains I've seen was on the late, lamented TV series, Shark. Wayne Robert Callison, played by Billy Campbell, was phenomenal. He'd never be a hero, but he was one you just loved to hate!

Nancy, thanks so much for inviting Jon to the lair. He's a talented author, a fabulous speaker, and one of the warmest people I've met.
Jon, welcome! It was great to see you again at ThrillerFest. As Nancy mentioned, I'm a huge fan of your work. Given your background in screenwriting, I was curious if you "see" your story unfolding in a movie (in your head). Also, who would you cast as Caitlin in an actual movie?
Jon did a great interview of Robert Crais at ThrillerFest, and I found it fascinating when Crais shared that he had no idea what his iconic characters, Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, looked like. Crais explained that he wanted the reader to make the characters his/her own. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that comment. As writers, do you think we do a disservice to the reader by describing our characters in too much detail?
Thanks so much for joining us here today!

Marybelle, what do you like about Lonesome Dove? What drew you to it?
- July 19, 2011 at 9:20 AM
- Nancy said...
Christina, I agree with you about character change in series. As you know, I've been seeking out suspense series that feature couples, and one of the things I'm looking for is evolving relationships.
While I don't expect that part of the story to be developed to the extent it would be in a book that says "romance" on the spine, I also don't like to be scratching my head at the end, uncertain just what drew this couple together, exactly.
What drew me to this series was that Caitlin and Cort Wesley were such strong antagonists but did actually start to see each other in different ways--and that we readers were in on that process.
- July 19, 2011 at 9:29 AM
- Nancy said...
Helen, most of the movies and TV shows I've seen about the Texas Rangers also were historical. I'm particularly fond of the one involving a masked man and his Native American friend, a white horse, and silver bullets. And the William Tell overture. *g*
There was a period when Texas Rangers were very popular heroes in contemporary romance. I haven't seen them so much lately, though.

Isn't that handy? I've been working on whittling down the TBR pile, and the fact that much of it is now electronic gives me the illustion of actual success.
I've tried to watch Leverage, but I have trouble remembering what times things are on anymore. I've always liked Timothy Hutton, ever since he was the son who survived in that movie with Mary Tyler Moore (obviously the title escapes me).
Billy Campbell is a fabulous villain. He was great as The Rocketeer and as Sela Ward's love interest in a short-lived TV show (again, the title eludes) but chilling as the abusive husband in Enough.

KJ, thanks back at you for recommending Jon's work to me and helping me get in touch with him.
I'm interested to see how Jon responds to your question about character description. As you know, we frequently have discussions about using movie or TV stars as models for our characters. That's never worked for me, but I like hearing how other people approach it.
- July 19, 2011 at 9:40 AM
- Anna Sugden said...
Ahhh *happy sigh* Robert Crais! What a charmer!
I've heard him say that too, KJ, and he uses that as the reason why he doesn't want his books brought to the big (or little) screen.
I think it's a tough thing to do - look at all the fuss about Stephanie Plum. I can only imagine what would happen with Roarke and Eve Dallas!

Welcome to The Lair Jon!
Strong at the Break already comes across as a sit on the edge of your seat story.
As a romance fiction author, I sometimes struggle with teh male POV. How did you handle Caitlin's female POV? What experiences in the female perspective did you rely on?

Hi, Jon! Welcome to the Lair and thanks to Nancy for hosting you.
Your STRONG series sounds exciting. I like the concept of how these two protagonists came together, and I'll definitely start with the first in the series.
I'm also intrigued with A WALK IN THE DARKNESS. I love the conflict you've built into that story with the Palestinian and Israeli characters.
Can you tell us something about your writing process and writing schedule?

Welcome Jon. Your books are wonderful, memorable and unique. I have enjoyed this new series greatly. Your writing is exceptional. I am curious how you became interested in writing about Texas Rangers and the research necessary for this series.

Hi Jon! Welcome to the lair!
Loved your excerpt. One can feel the tense conflict between these two characters, yet still see the potential for romance ("I called you.")
My first thought after reading the blog was that this sounded like it had great big/little screen potential, so I'm not surprised that KJ mentioned you had a background in screenwriting. What are your hopes for this series?
Think you have a winner here! Good Luck!

Thanks for this interesting feature today. I am enthralled with these books and this amazing writer who can create the novels mentioned. I did read Jon Land's previous series about the Israeli policeman and the Arab detective. Fabulous. This is quite a transition. Please elaborate about the Texas connection and the Israeli ideas.

Let me address Joan's question first about writing from a female viewpoint. It comes surprisingly easy for me and I think that's due to the fact that I'm blessed with the ability to get inside a character's head and write entirely from their viewpoint. I see what they see, feel what they feel, instead of imposing words and thoughts on them. Hey, I've written about serial killers, terrorists, Palestinians, and Special Ops commandos and I'm not one of them either! I'm just so gratified that you and so many others have responded to Caitlin as you have. She really resonates with women as well as men.
- July 19, 2011 at 11:17 AM
- Jon Land said...
Thanks, Becke, and you won't be disappointed. I promise!
- July 19, 2011 at 11:18 AM
- Jon Land said...
I'm ever so grateful for the warm welcome you Lair regulars have given me. Hope Nancy invites me back not too far down the road! Anyway, several of you have commented on the "western" nature of the Strong books and you couldn't be more right. Essentially, these books are modern day westerns a la NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, and Caitlin is a modern day, or post-modern, gunfighter. The Western form has been crucial to the development of the thriller as best personified by Lee Child's brilliant Jack Reacher character. I like to think of Caitlin as kind of a female Reacher. I love writing her and all the characters in this series.
- July 19, 2011 at 11:23 AM
- Jon Land said...
Traveler asks that I "elaborate about the Texas connection and the Israeli ideas." You know, I think these two series have more in common than people realize. They're both about characters struggling to find their place in the world and with each other--Ben and Danielle become Caitlin and Cort Wesley. And both relationships are driven by conflict. I think the conflict in the Strong books is more personal while in the Ben and Danielle books it's more societal. Also regular readers will likely notice that Caitlin and Cort Wesley spend more of their adventures side by side than Ben and Danielle did, most due to the fact that the Strong books are not internationally-based like the Ben and Danielle titles.

Donna raises a great question about m hopes for this series. I've actually penned a screenplay based on the first book in the series, Strong Enough to Die, for a director named Carl Franklin who's terrific. I actually think the best home for Caitlin on screen would be television, similar to what FX did with JUSTIFIED. I'd love to have a dozen one-hour episodes to really tell the story and delve deeply into the characters. Interesting these days how the best writing is clearly on television, not film anymore. Dexter, Game of Thrones, Damages, The Good Wife, Weeds, Mad Men, Breaking Bad--the list goes on.
- July 19, 2011 at 11:30 AM
- Jon Land said...
Petite, thanks for the kind words. The bulk of my research into the Texas Rangers was all about familiarizing myself with their history. I wanted to make Caitlin a kind of throwback to another age so I needed to be able to capture the way Rangers used to be as well as are today. Let's face it, very few Rangers ever even draw their guns these days in contrast to the body count Caitlin rings up every book. But this is a thriller, a work of fiction, that takes the heroic nature and colorful history of the Rangers and personifies them in the person of a single individual. Interesting to me how so many people love the little snippets of Ranger history I provide before it's section.

Jo Robertson asked about my writing process and schedule. I normally write in two sessions per day, each around 2 hours long--that amounts to about 15-20 pages and when I'm doing a first draft I work 7 days a week to keep the flow going. A couple of tricks I use: I always leave off in the middle of a scene so I get a running start the next day and I always save a few books by my own favorite authors to read when I'm writing. I start each writing session by reading maybe 15 pages to get my head where it needs to be, get the mindset in other words.

Marybelle, the Strong books are a lot different from Lonesome Dove but I think you'll love them. Nobody writes about the old West better than McMurtry.

In response to Nancy, the Texas Rangers are the most legendary lawmen (and now law-women) in our nation's history. I've always been a fan of Westerns in general and the Rangers remain today a wondrous force that continues to help maintain order throughout the massive state of Texas. Their motto is "One Riot, One Ranger." And that says it all.

Welcome to the Lair, Jon!
BIG THANX to Nancy for inviting you to join us today. That excerpt pulled me right in, and I'm sure I'll enjoy your series.
My goodness, I hadn't seen or read anything with a Texas Ranger (with or without The William Tell Overture);-) in ages. Then last week I rented and watched the new version of True Grit with Matt Damon as the Texas Ranger. Yup, LOVED IT!
So are you from Texas, Jon? Is that what started your interest in the Rangers?
who is off to discipline the cabana boys for SULKING in the corners -- a tough job, but someone has to do it!

- Jon Land said...
KJ asks "Do you think we do a disservice to the reader by describing our characters in too much detail?" Well, that's a great question! My model for the Strong books is the great James Lee Burke who writes the Dave Robicheaux novels. Burke is a master of description and he knows exactly how much to describe and how much to leave to the reader's imagination--the perfect median, in other words. For me it comes down to the great advice I got once, to in every scene always know where the light is coming from. All I due is describe to the reader, through a character's eyes, what that light is revealing.

No, Aunty Cindy, I'm from Rhode Island--the exact opposite of Texas (There was actually a ranch once as big as my state!). But I've visited Texas a bunch of times and rely on my travels through the state, especially the San Antonio area, for the color I try to provide.

Jon, I love JUSTIFIED. I wish it were coming back before next winter. It's a bit violent for me (violence being more graphic on TV than on the printed page), but I'm watching it anyway.

Jon, a huge welcome to the Bandit lair.
I love the concept of the female Texas Ranger. And love the complexities which I'm sure come out of her being fifth generation LEO. That right there is plenty on its own, without her falling for somebody she's wronged, and the guilt on top of that.
Okay as a writer, I'm tired just thinking about all that.
As a reader, I'm intrigued, so kudos to you, and thank you for taking on such a flawed and wonderfully human character.
I'd love to know something about your direct research with the Texas Rangers. They're legendary of course, and from what I understand, it's for good reason. I read the comment where you spoke of researching their history. But did you get to spend time with the actual Rangers? Ride-alongs, visits and interviews, etc?
Clearly,you've researched and written other kinds of law enforcement/agents/etc. What did you find different about the Rangers in attitude, and what has intrigued you most about them, history or present day?

Cassondra, Caitlin's heritages as a Ranger figures prominently in the books so far. I like that about them.

Jeanne--are Tony and Ziva an item now? Clearly I'm behind!
I like that phrase, "One Riot, One Ranger" a lot, too.
Watching stuff blow up in Mr. and Mrs. Smith was a lot of fun. I thought the ending kind of tailed off, though. Did you?
Good luck in the cave.

Fedora, congrats on the GR!
Jon, I loved 'The Thomas Crown Affair' and the evolution of the relationship as Thomas and Catherine get to know each other and respect each other's attributes.
I'm excited to learn about Caitlin's books. They sound like ones I would greatly enjoy. It's great to have you with us and I hope you'll visit again!

I'm late to the party, again! I loved this post, I loved all the comments & questions, everything.
Lisa Gardner is kinda my go to author for law enforcement stuff. However, Caitlin sounds amazing, so I'll be checking out Jon's books. I like to read them all in order, so I'll be starting with #1.

Caren, do you know I've never seen The Thomas Crown Affair--either version! And I love Pierce Brosnan.

Fedora can handle the most notorious outlaw in the Lair - the GR! Or is that Aunty Cindy! I forget!
What a great interview, Jon and Nancy! I love a good thriller and the idea of a female Texas Ranger makes me rub my hands with glee! Texas women are some of the sweetest, classiest and toughest dames I know!
How hard is it to keep her strong enough to do what she has to do, but vulnerable enough to be convincing to women and appealing to men?

Cassondra: Thanks for the great comment and question. Yes, I did an incredible amount of research into the history of the Texas Rangers--hundreds of articles and a dozen or so books. And the research is ongoing from book to book. Alas, also confession time: Although I met a few Rangers, I never did ride alongs or the kind of fieldwork many other writers find crucial to their art. With Caitlin I'm trying to capture a certain sensibility and state of mind backed up by her formidable attitude, relentlessness, and keen shooting ability. The honest truth is that real Rangers don't operate with the lone wolf attitude Caitlin displays. The same holds true for the way spies and intelligence operatives are portrayed in other thrillers. A lot of people on this blog have mentioned Lisa Gardner, a terrific writer who brilliantly captures the inner workings of police investigations. Much of what I say about how the Rangers operate is totally accurate but, let's face it, no Ranger who's gunned down as many people as Caitlin has would still have a job. Then again, she's the only Ranger to face the kind of massive and evil adversaries that she does in my books. Look forward to hearing more from you after you've read one or more of her adventures. Be curious to hear if you think I pulled it all off! Best until then.

Great points all, Jeanne!

How hard is it to keep her strong enough to do what she has to do, but vulnerable enough to be convincing to women and appealing to men?--Great question from Louisa! While indeed hard, you have beautifully summed up the entire nature of her character. Dramatic tension, what keeps us turning the pages of any book and especially a thriller, is generated by conflict. And in the Strong books the central conflict is the push/pull in Caitlin you have so perfectly expressed. It's not me who has to find the balance of which you speak--it's Caitlin herself and here's the thing: she never will, not entirely. Since she'll never be entirely happy giving in to one side of her nature or the other, her future will always be about the push/pull. That said, I really enjoy writing Caitliln's growing relationship not just with Cort Wesley Masters, but also his sons. That adds even more conflict to her character since the boys bring out her maternal instincts. Make sure you let me know what you think after you've met Caitlin in the pages! Best until then.

Louisa, I also love the idea of a female Texas Ranger. As you must've guessed, I love a good thriller, too.

Congrats on your latest release, Jon! Your strong complicated female lead sounds very intriguing!
My favourite book with a couple who started out as fierce antagonists would have to be Pride & Prejudice. I quite enjoy watching how relationships change and grow. A lot of what I like reading/watching has a law enforcement officer or a reformed or quasi-reformed criminal in the lead so I can't quite pick just one. Boom? I like boom! :D
- July 19, 2011 at 10:25 PM
- Nancy said...
Pissenlit, I'm one of those who has never read Pride and Prejudice. The other bandits have given me to understand that watching the movies does not count. But I do know enough to realize that's a great example of antagonists who end up as a couple.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
-- Cayla Mills
On the 10th July, John sent me a mail:
I had to sleep for a few hours; I was so tired. I'm going to have to have between 28 and 31 radiotherapy sessions and during the same period, chemotherapy in tablet form. The oncologist is hopeful of a complete remission because the cancer hasn't spread to the lymph glands. ... One thing is sure, it's not the same cancer as the last time and isn't a spreading of the bladder cancer. He thinks I should be done with the treatment at the end of September. ... This coming Friday at 10:00, an explanation meeting; 10:30 blood tests; 11:00 they'll draw the tattoos of where they're going to radiate me; 12:00 a CT-scan. Monday, 09:00 an infusion of chemotherapy; 11:00 radiotherapy. The party's about to really begin!
I've got a pile of medical prescriptions; hopefully there's something that helps with the throwing up. Apparently, the chemotherapy isn't as heavy as the last time so I'm not expecting to lose my hair this time.
So the hope that the treatment would be restricted to radiotherapy alone was too optimistic but he didn't have a choice. One way or another he had to overcome the cancer and at least this hospital was the best in the country; he had to have faith in them.
During the first week of treatment, he had to put up with nausea, constipation, a feeling that his mucus membranes were burning, especially in the throat and stomach, intestinal cramps and stabbing pains round the anus and; "we're just in the first week. I can put up with it but it's depressing!" During the weekend he could stop the chemo tablets and the radiation therapy, otherwise it would have been just too much, but it was little consolation. Meanwhile the tests went on and the whole process became incredibly tiring with five more weeks to go. At every stage, his blood was tested but that was just to make sure he could continue with the treatment and they regularly checked the anus to make sure it wasn't being burned too severely.
The weeks went on and naturally took their toll but there's no turning back in situations like this; you just have to grit your teeth and bear it. Slowly but surely, the area of skin around the anus began to show signs of burn wounds and keeping the area clean without too much pain was a problem, but creams and encouraging words from the specialists kept him going. Radiation therapy can cause symptoms of burning, as if you'd lain in the sun for too long; and the wider the area that's radiated, the more likely there'll be damage to the skin.
By the end of August, he'd got shingles to add to the misery and discomfort but the oncologist said that at least the tumour seemed to be shrinking and as the course of treatment was coming to the end, there was light at the end of the tunnel. The relief that it was coming to an end was palpable. The healing process was also long and arduous and sitting and changing dressings was painful, plus he knew what sort of damage the radiation and chemo had done. His old friend, a bladder infection had returned, the shingles wasn't completely gone and sleeping was constantly interrupted with this pain or the other.
However, at the end of September he mailed:
The doctor called and everything looks okay. Monday, I see the radiologist. I've got to get another blood test after that and have to return on 17th December but after that ... no more visits to the cancer hospital!!
That news, plus the fact that his HIV tests hadn't come back with overly alarming results (although his immune system had obviously taken a battering and he looked like someone who'd just been through 6 months of cancer treatment) was an enormous psychological breakthrough. He could breathe a little deeper and look forward to what he hoped was a life free of cancer. He felt he deserved at least that.
That December, he went back to the radiologist at the cancer hospital for a check-up. He mailed me that afternoon:
I told the doctor that there was still a lump on the edge of the sphincter in my anus and I was worried about it. He said that we should keep an eye on it and told me to come back in March, 2013. At least he knows it's there and will keep it in mind, so I'm not worried. Hopefully, it's a remnant of all the treatment and nothing alarming. At least I can have a winter without constant doctor's appointments and hospital visits and the check-ups will just be routine.
Unfortunately, John's optimism after such a horrendous 2012 was to let him down again. 2013 was to prove a true annus horribilis and one that was to change his life more dramatically than ever.
At the beginning of March 2013, the lump on John's anus was beginning to cause some alarm and although he had an appointment on the 18th March, he went to his home doctor to see what he thought about it. The doctor agreed that it didn't look good and he was able to arrange an earlier appointment at the cancer hospital. The pit of his stomach felt like lead, as the realisation sank in that this may be the beginning of yet another hellish period. His partner and friends were just as shocked after all; what had 2012 been all about but to get rid of cancer once and for all? That said, nothing was confirmed as yet and the usual tortuous waiting began.
John had to get his head in order and think out the possibilities. He did some research and reasoned that they were hardly likely to use radiotherapy again as a treatment; the skin had been too damaged from the last time and wasn't likely to survive another long period of radiation. It would probably need an operation. In that case: either the sphincter itself would be spared because you can't remove too much tissue; or, more likely, they would have to remove the sphincter and surrounding tissue, both cancerous and not, to be sure. If that was the case then a colostomy bag would be necessary. Briefly that would mean removing the tumour, closing off the anus and linking up the healthy bowel tissue to the abdomen. There would be a hole usually at the front of the lower stomach and a bag would be attached to collect waste material.
John was 58, still a proud gay man with a healthy sexual appetite which, although it had been hammered by the traumas of the last few years, was still an important part of his life. The very thought of what may be to come was enough to make him doubt whether he wanted to carry on. However, he wasn't alone in this and had a partner who had already been through a lot with him. He couldn't leave him alone; and he also had a burning will to live. It had carried him through AIDS at its worst and two other forms of cancer and he was damned if he was going to give up this time without a fight.
These thoughts went through his mind as he waited for confirmation of what he feared was inevitable. You can't criticise anyone for thinking about suicide at times like this. When a disease attacks you at the very core of your being and the only option is to have invasive and reconstructive surgery, you really have to ask yourself very deeply if it's going to be worth it. John fully realised how difficult this was going to be for everyone concerned and especially Martin, his partner; but the fact that Martin was there was what made him decide to carry on and try his best to fight the cancer again. In the end they got on the roller coaster again together because that's what true partners do.
12th March 2013
The cancer is almost certainly back with a vengeance but radiotherapy in that area won't happen again. It'll be an operation then and how extensive that'll be depends on the results of all the tests. It seems to be moving quite quickly now. They'll have to do another biopsy and then I'll have a CT-scan, a PET-Scan and an MRI scan to see if it's spread. I'll ask them on Thursday what the waiting time is for an operation.
I've got to let this all sink in. On the one hand I pretty much expected it but on the other, I half hoped that it was maybe a false alarm. It wasn't and now it's a question of how extensive it is. The radiologist said that if it's not too widely spread, they're optimistic that it can be brought under control (sigh).
Later that day, I got another mail:
One thing is certain; the anus won't survive. The tumour is right on the anal muscle and because it's a returning cancer, they'll have to remove it all. I have to be realistic and face the fact that I'll have to have a colostomy bag. The choice is simple: a colostomy bag or death: what would you choose? For me it has to be option one!
And then the waiting began, with all the usual delays, tests, appointments for results and plans of action that he'd become so used to over the last few years. It's a killer in itself and his partner and I were all for storming the barricades and demanding instant action. Hadn't this man been through enough! It doesn't work that way though. They have to be sure about everything because with that sort of surgery, there's no turning back the clock and the last thing he needed was a "whoops" moment, if the experts had made a mistake. The clock was running but there was no way of winding it forward.
At this moment in time, the one thing John needed was time to digest everything he'd heard and everything he'd researched on the internet. The last thing he needed was people pestering him with questions but human nature being what it is, he had to deal with people's concern, their own fears for the future and their ideas of what's right and what's wrong.
April Fool's Day
Oh what can I say? The prospect of being an invalid hangs like a sword of Damocles above my head; I just don't know how much of an invalid I'm going to be. Not a pleasant outlook at all. I know I'm not alone in all this and I do choose to live on but I am considering my options. Not being treated or operated on and getting an opinion as to how long I'd still have for instance. I just want to know and weigh that up against the consequences of the operation.

Sugar Rush: Blackberry Crumble at Nopa, San Francisco
Nopa is one of those restaurants where you could easily max out before dessert. In addition to entrees, there is an extensive list of small plates—though the nail in the coffin may be that my favorite dish is actually a side.
At the very least your main meal will probably include a lot of vegetables, if that makes you feel any better about ordering one last plate. And that plate should be the Blackberry Crumble ($8). If you're thinking, "Why would I save room for something as easy to make as a crumble?", I say this: Does yours have a coconut almond streusel whose nutty flavor perfectly elevates the traditional buttery topping? Does yours come topped with a scoop of lemon verbena ice cream, which though not overtly citrusy or tart, does add a light, bright edge to the creamy dairy?
Yet these are just the extras, the detailed, somewhat fancy components which elevate the crumble from a homemade dessert to a restaurant worthy plate. What really makes this crumble so delicious is the fruit. The berries easily keep their shape, allowing the dish to come out piping hot from what's most likely a reheat in the restaurant oven without having turned into jam. Where many restaurants overload on the crumble topping as an easy, buttery road to victory, this dish lets the fruit have center stage. The result is a dish that's mostly deep blackberry flavor, with a whisper of lemon, a swirl of cream, and the occasional burst of nutty, buttery crumb.

2 days ago, some bastard has found a way to upload some scripts in my /tmp folder, and after that he started an UDP flood from my server. Now I have a fresh OS, a better configured firewall, but I'm still worried because I'm not sure if I'm safe.
I have decided to use a different "upload_tmp_dir" for each domain in order to find out the site that permitted script uploading.
It would be great if I could make iptraf working but I couldn't. It doesn't see anything on venet0. Any alternative for this?
Also any advice would be great.

Sometimes I can be intimidated to cook certain foods, especially new gluten-free dishes. For some reason, I thought crepes would be similar to going into the chem lab. I'm happy to report it can be made just as easily as regular ones! But, my theory behind knowing how to cook, regardless of whether it's gluten-free or not, holds true. Technique is very important.
The recipe I used was from Gluten-Free Gobsmacked. I really like her simplicity and explanation of each step. See below for my version and additional instructions. Either way, great product.
I can't wait for my little girl to try them. She made some in camp this week but could only eat a bite as it was made with regular flour. While at camp, she also had a hamburger bun because she thought it was gluten-free; a bit of miscommunication. Poor thing was so itchy last night, it made me sad. Her gluten sensitivity comes out in her skin. I suppose it is this that motivates me to try things. Read More »

SEJ member John Platt was editing a series of technology newsletters eight years ago when he realized that many important discoveries and stories about endangered species were not being covered by the major media. He founded what was then called Extinction Blog to fill that gap. When he went freelance nearly six years ago, the blog was picked up by Plenty magazine, which ran it until they closed their doors. Now called Extinction Countdown and published by Scientific American since 2009, the blog will publish its 1,000th article later this year.
Along the way, John has interviewed scientists and conservationists around the globe and written about endangered species on all seven continents. In 2012 the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) honored John with their Animal Action Award for his writing about endangered species, conservation, climate change, trophy hunting and the illegal wildlife trade.
John also covers a wide range of other environmental issues for a variety of publications, including Mother Nature Network, Conservation, Earthzine, Today's Engineer, Tonic and Lion magazine. His articles have been reprinted by the Huffington Post, Forbes, Mother Jones and Salon, among others.
Outside of journalism, John has published more than 100 short stories, a handful of poems, one humor book and several dozen cartoons. Like his articles, his cartoons frequently cover environmental issues, although most of them are just weird.

#18 _ForgeUser308224 Posted Oct 28, 2008Fantastic addon. Was forced to abandon CharactersViewer with the effective demise of Cosmos, but this turned out to be a blessing in disguise - BankItems beats CV hands down.
One quick thought - any plans to incorporate some of the new 3.0.2 stuff like pets/currency tabs? Assuming they're not already in and I've missed it ;-)
First, love the addon.
I have a suggestion though, I just saw a mod called "StorageDiscovery" (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/storage-discovery.aspx) on this site and I kind of liked the way that they searched the bags. Basically, when you search for an item name, it ONLY shows you those items in your bank/bags currently; other items are greyed out. This would be a wonderful addition to the search tool (obviously only when you're at the bank or in your bags). Even better if you could make it an option to search that way. I like the current search, but this seems more intuitive for me. I'm a visual person though.
#12 _ForgeUser137677 Posted Oct 21, 2008Alot of these mods have been yupdated on WowAce but have not been uploaded to curse yet...why is that?...like this one is already r102 (wowace) but we can only download r100 here...com'on guys please get with it....This is definately not the only wowace mod like this...ie: autobar, AGuF, etc.
Please upload these in a timely fashion. TY
#10 _ForgeUser1438660 Posted Oct 20, 2008
Xinhuan you are the one :) I just wish you could update everything we need :) Crystal
#9 _ForgeUser1390941 Posted Oct 18, 2008Sorry lil new to the errors, i am using v30001, happens when i enter new areas like entering shat or different zones. I have bug grabber now and will see what it gives me for errors
#11 _ForgeUser193507 Posted Oct 20, 2008Horror, you can find an updated TitanBankItems both on WowInterface.com and WorldofWar.net.
#8 _ForgeUser78670 Posted Oct 17, 2008Can we expect Titan support?
#6 _ForgeUser1390941 Posted Oct 16, 2008When i add this addon i get an "error currency not set" Any ideas?
#5 _ForgeUser355912 Posted Oct 15, 2008I found the error myself. Search for these occurences
And change them to
#4 _ForgeUser355912 Posted Oct 15, 2008Get this error when i log in
Error: attempt to call global 'OptionsFrame_EnableCheckBox' (a nil value)
File: Interface\AddOns\BankItems\BankItems.lua
Line: 3916
Count: 1
And this error when I toggle checkboxes under Options
Error: attempt to call global 'OptionsFrame_DisableCheckBox' (a nil value)
File: Interface\AddOns\BankItems\BankItems.lua
Line: 3909
Count: 1
#3 _ForgeUser671905 Posted Oct 15, 2008Boo! for not supporting Titan!
#2 _ForgeUser637407 Posted Oct 15, 2008
no wonder this addon is awesome and up to date... Xinhuan is behind it (omen)
#1 _ForgeUser12137 Posted Oct 11, 2008BankItems-r82120 choose install via curseclient installs v24001 instead of v24002

We're well aware of the whole cyclists-wanting-hood-airbags debacle, but the Toyota Gosei system is just ridiculous. Just look at it — it looks like something that would keep the Titanic afloat.
The two hood-mounted airbags would protect pedestrians' and cyclists' waists and heads (and maybe protect your windshield too); all of the internal airbags would protect damn near every square inch of your body. On top of all of this, the system also includes Toyota's pedestrian recognition system. At this point, you should probably just pull over and give your car to the pedestrian because Toyota seems to think that's the safer option. [Giz]
