Sunday breaks cool and cloudy. For me, a good sign since I hate the heat and relish a cooler clime. I’m soooo ready for this to start. It’s taken a few weeks of intense work to get to this point and I want to dive into that pool and swim around.
I live literally ten minutes away from where we’re doing the podcast. As Toby says, all you really need is a room and some mikes. We’ve got so much more than that in this location but that’s basically it. A room and mikes. Or so I think.
Ten minutes took me forty. Don’cha just love SoCal? I neglected to account for the OC Marathon that would be blocking off streets for miles. A simple right turn becomes a nightmare of being trapped behind a barrier of orange cones and OCTA barriers. No matter where I turn, it’s basically “you can’t get there from here.” Had I gone south I might have gotten to the podcast in a reasonable amount of time. As it stands now, I’m driving in ever-dense circles or stalled vehicles while fleet-footed people demand the right-of-way enforced by what seems the entire cadre of law enforcement in Orange County. I swear there’s even Boy Scouts helping direct me away from my destination.
By the time I got there, Toby and MC had everything ready. I quickly took my seat behind these really cool looking mics and pop screens. I was a musician in another life (hence the desire to write the show’s music) so sound systems and mics were familiar but these were like real radio mics – and that’s actually what it feels like initially – radio. Talking into a mike (doing sound levels) in a room with your co-host and engineer – I’ve seen that scene before. Since I’ve never actually done radio, I’m guessing. But I imagine it’s like that and we’ll see how that all shakes out.
The show starts finally. Our guest is still on the road to us so we’re going to do a segment on – wait – he’s here. Sequential show it is.
Larry, my buddy, is funny, charming and extensive in scope. His segment is like sliding on ice – friction-less and fun. He does about an hour (of which we’ll use 20 minutes probably) and then leaves.
We do the various segments. Honestly, they are the most fun I’ve had in awhile. We fall together well because we know each other. And also, and this is important, we’re all fairly knowledgeable on film. MC probably has the least experience at any professional level (actually none) but she’s encyclopedic with pop culture, film and can talk at length on anything to do with animation. Plus she’s whip-smart and can flow with any conversation. But her greatest quality is she knows how to be let the conversation flow around her when appropriate – a great co-host.
Toby looks just perfect behind his equipment. He’s got the headsets on, twiddling audio levels, glaring at me when I click my pen. Looking at him calms me because I think – he’s got this. All I have to do is talk – something I do a lot of – too much most likely.
Toby’s a quiet force and although he’s mostly silently doing the engineering thing, he has a mike and jumps in on our “What are we watching” segment. That’s between telling me to quit tapping the table – I wasn’t. I swear. Pen, yes – that’s me click-clicking nervously. No table tapping. But something was making noise in his headphones and he had to deal with it so it wouldn’t transfer to the recording.
Having worked at a worked at the pro level as an editor for many and various companies, Toby is also quite an aficionado on TV and film and is able to put forth on many topics – a great resource. All in all, we’re working well.
So it seems. Hard to be objective and I”m hoping for the best.
Even though the time is adding up (we’re about six hours in) and you can see the fatigue, we’re all still thrilled to be doing this. It’s a happy fatigue, so to speak.
We wrap it up, take a few photos, hug and go home.
Now Toby has the hard job of taking all that talk and shaping it to a show.

If you like the classics, here's one. You will not find any other Yo-Yo such as the Sasquatch.
The Sasquatch is much more than a nice Yo-Yo. We believe that in this case, with this Yo-Yo, CLYW has produced a small honor to the ‘Old school’ and the Sasquatch is a giant step to focus the mark and the future manufactures on models more faced for competition. Quality and attraction are the words that you would have to answer when asked to describe this Yo-Yo in 2 words.
Of course there is something that has woken up your curiosity for this model and that has separated it from any other CLYW that you have seen in our web. Allow me to begin: Could it be its design? If your answer is YES, do not be scared, we are no fortune tellers, we only share the same passion as you.
The Sasquatch is a transit between the 'ancient' and the 'modern’, between the 'good' and the 'best'. For its design makes you realize that it is not a Yo-Yo designed for the competition, but everything the opposite. It is a Yo-Yo designed to enjoy the calmest perfection for a daily game. It is not as wide as other CLYW models, and that's why we compared it to the ‘Old School’. The Sasquatch very much resembles the old Yo-Yos with big rims, a lot of weight on the ends to stabilize it. The Sasquatch has slightly thinner walls than the current ones.
In practice, we already told you that it is very gratifying, and even if you are not a big CLYW fan, you will value the magnificent work that CLYW has done here. It is undoubtedly a Yo-Yo that is worth enjoying. Because of tradition, it incorporates the originals Snow Tires and a Size C Center Track Bearing.

New Year new hair! I was so excited to get an ombre hair makeover at the famous Christo Salon on Fifth Avenue.
For the past few years I’ve been dreaming of getting this done, but couldn’t quite do it because my hair was not long enough to achieve the look that I wanted. When I first met Christo at his Birthday/Holiday party a few weeks ago I knew that I wanted to get my hair done at his salon. Aside from being one of the nicest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met, I was also incredibly in awe of his decadent salon from the plush leather waiting coaches to the enchanting chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The ambience was the epitome of Hollywood glamour, and I couldn't wait to treat myself to the experience.
Just a few days before the New Year I emailed Christo to see if there were any appointments open in the near future, and to my luck there had been an opening a day after the new year! I was so excited to find out that Celebrity stylist Ivan Torres was going to be doing my hair that day. Ivan was the incredible stylist who created the black swan inspired updo for me when I attended New York Fashion Week a few months ago in September. The paparazzi absolutely loved that look, and now I couldn’t have been more thrilled to have Ivan create an ombre masterpiece for me.
Curious in the salon's process of creating the perfect ombre, I asked Ivan to take me through the steps during a quick interview.
1. Tell me about the steps you did to achieve this incredible ombre look for me!
Celebrity Stylist Ivan Torres: Basically the technique we use is backcombing and biolage. Biolage means to sweep, so you’re painting the hair. I backcombed and just painted the hair and this allows the hair not to have any steps. It’s a more seamless process.
2. After the color you put on the glaze to finish the look?
Celebrity Stylist Ivan Torres: Yes, I put on the glaze to give it a little more shine and also to brighten up any unwanted tones. I wanted to cancel out some of the orangyness that we got in the beginning to make it more of a matte blonde. I like golden blondes, but I like it to be a little ashy at the same time.
3. Which fabulous Curlisto products did you use on me today? They smelled amazing!
Celebrity Stylist Ivan Torres: Today we used the Curlisto Natural Curl Shampoo, it’s more of a cleanser so it has no sulphates because I didn’t want any of the color that I put on you to be removed. Then we used the Deep Therapy Mask at the end when we combed your hair through for a good 8-10 minutes just to put back all the keratin back in your hair that I took out.
4. For on going maintenance of this glowing, shiny look, which Curlisto products would you recommend?
Celebrity Stylist Ivan Torres: For shampoo and conditioner I would use the natural cleansing, and also the Deep Therapy Mask. You can do the deep therapy mask each week, and with the natural cleansing shampoo it’s so conditioning that you don’t need to use a conditioner. To style the hair I would use the Repair Styling Cream for more protein/keratin and it is infused not to damage the hair, especially when you’re blow-drying.
After finishing my interview with Ivan about the incredible ombre he did I went to buy Christo's shampoo and conditioner. After trying his line, I will never purchase another brand again. His products are so luxuriously, gentle, and make my hair look and feel so healthy!
Thank you so much Christo, Ivan, Natalie, and the whole team at the Christo Fifth Avenue salon for the celebrity ombre hair makeover! I feel like a million dollars with my new look, and I can't wait to layer in this boosted level of confidence to every aspect of my life in the New Year!

Consumption of omega-3 fats, such as fish oil, reduce PCOS symptoms and improve your overall health, according to dozens of medical studies.
The medical evidence indicates that increased consumption of or supplementation with omega-3 fats can be helpful for these disorders: cardiovascular disease, high blood fats (such as triglycerides), high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, metabolic syndrome, obesity, inflammatory diseases, neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, and eye diseases. Some women with PCOS may have or will develop several of these disorders. Marine oils are a healthy way to reduce these risks.
Fish concentrate oil contains essential fatty acids, or EFAs. They are "essential" because you must have them for life, and your body cannot manufacture them. You must obtain them from your diet.
EFAs serve as a highly efficient source of energy and as the primary component of cell membranes and hormones. Deficiencies in EFAs are associated with abnormal development and health problems involving the nervous, cardiovascular, and immune systems.
The two most important EFAs in human health are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The typical American consumes too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil contains high levels of omega 3 fatty acids.
"Hello, I just wanted to make a quick comment about fish oil. I have had PCOS since I was sixteen years old. I am now 24. I have struggled greatly with all sorts of symptoms, including a COMPLETE lack of a period for the first two years of diagnosis.
I have never taken birth control, as I personally don't like the idea. So, when I was eighteen, I saw a holistic doctor.
He put me on fish oil, and the following month I had my period!
I have discovered that if I do not take fish oil, I will not have a period, but if I do take it, I will have one. So, if any woman with PCOS out there is doubting the effectiveness of taking fish oil, it is definitely worth trying."
Women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) have a number of symptoms that can be partially alleviated by omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil.
Medical evidence indicates that fish oil may help with a number of PCOS-related issues, such as: depression, chronic inflammation, heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood fats (triglycerides), diabetes, and stress.
Could it also improve your body shape?
A new study from the Department of Health Sciences at Gettysburg College indicates this may be the case.
The researchers gave one group men and women 4 grams of fish oil daily for six weeks. Another group took 4 grams of safflower oil.
Compared to the safflower oil group, the fish oil group gained lean (muscle) mass, and lost significant fat mass.
In addition, the fish group tended to have reduced levels of cortisol, which is a stress hormone that contributes to increased fat, especially around the middle.
By the way, women who have polycystic ovary syndrome also often have elevated cortisol levels, so fish concentrate oil is something to seriously consider.
Based on this new research and dozens of other studies we have on file, it's hard to think of a reason not to be taking this oil daily.
Fish oil concentrate contains two important fat molecules, called EPA and DHA.
The University of Tennessee published a study of mice on a high-fat diet. Some were given EPA, some were not. Those mice given the EPA had reductions in their fat weight, and the size of their fat cells shrank. This experiment suggests that humans might also get a similar benefit from fish oil.
Equally important, there was less infiltration of white blood cells into their fat tissue. The infiltration of white blood cells is an indication an inflammatory process going on in your fatty tissue. This is not a good thing because chronic inflammation is a powerful cause of your symptoms. Fish oil, and the EPA it contains, is known to suppress inflammation.
EPA is highly beneficial to anyone with a problem with fat metabolism. The problem is that many of those who have PCOS are locked into fat-building mode because of the dysfunction of insulin and other hormones.
So it just makes good sense to be taking EPA fish oil on a regular basis.
Leptin resistance and insulin resistance play an important role in weight loss difficulties and they disturb overall hormonal balance. They are a central cause of PCOS symptoms.
Recent animal studies suggest that oil from fish may be helpful in dealing with some of the root causes of polycystic ovarian syndrome. In rats fed a high saturated fat or a high sugar diet, this oil appears to reduce or prevent leptin resistance and insulin resistance.
There was a study of 12 overweight men and women who had insulin resistance. They were given DHA (a component of fish oil) for 12 weeks. 70% of the participants showed a decrease in insulin resistance.
In rats, insulin resistance was reduced by substituting fish fats for vegetable and animal fats in their diet.
4. Does Fish Oil Improve Your Mind and Mood? And Lift Depression?
Fish concentrate oil contains two important omega-3 fats: eicosapentaeoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fats are also the most common ones in your brain. In your brain, these fats perform a multitude of critical functions.
A good reason to take fish oil is that it helps to relieve depression, according to the research. Depression is a common symptom of PCOS. Depressed people tend to have lower levels of omega-3 fats.
An increasing number of medical studies are suggesting that adequate levels of EPA and DHA fatty acids are necessary for optimal brain function, and possibly for helping to prevent or relieve depression or other forms of psychological distress.
For example, researchers at the University of Cincinnati performed a postmortem examination of the brains of 15 people who had "major depressive disorder" as compared to 27 normal people. The brains of the depressed women had a 32% lower level of DHA as compared to non-depressed women. Conversely, the non-depressed women had the highest levels of DHA.
A Canadian study of native women showed those with the highest levels of EPA and DHA had a 68% reduction in risk of having psychological distress. (This was not true for the men).
A University of Pittsburgh study of middle-aged people showed that those individuals with higher levels of DHA had better nonverbal reasoning, mental flexibility, working memory and vocabulary.
Based on these and other research studies, we think supplementation with a marine oil is an important component of your personal health rebuilding program. Their essential fats appear to have life-long health benefits.
Also, omega-3 fats are likely to reduce the risk of postpartum depression, manic-depressive psychosis, dementias (Alzheimer's disease and others).
Omega-3s are important for preventing cardiovascular disease in women of all ages.
Did you know that heart disease is the #1 cause of death of women in the U.S., whether they have PCOS or not? And women with polycystic ovarian syndrome have a significantly increased risk of developing heart disease compared to other women.
So anything that will help your heart and circulation is a good thing to do. A healthy diet and daily exercise are obviously basic requirements for a healthy heart. There are also supplements that can be helpful, such as fish oil.
Medical research continues to report that the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA result in a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. For example, the Harvard School of Public Health recently released a study showing that women who consumed the highest levels of these fatty acids had at least a 50% reduction in their risk of heart attack, compared to those consuming the lowest amounts.
Do you have high blood pressure? Omega 3 oils may help to reduce it.
A study at Cornell University has shown that 55% of PCOS women have NAFLD or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Fatty liver disease is not restricted to overweight women. In this study, nearly 40% of the women with NAFLD were lean.
A growing body of research is showing that marine oils are effective for reversing this disease.
A recent study of PCOS women at the University of Western Australia has confirmed the value of fish oil. In this study, 25 women with PCOS were given 4 grams daily of omega-3 fish oils for eight weeks. The women experienced reduced liver fat content, triglycerides and blood pressure.
The researchers concluded: "Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation has a beneficial effect on liver fat content and other cardiovascular risk factors in women with PCOS, including those with hepatic steatosis."
Women with PCOS have a greater tendency toward inflammation than other women. There is also an association between insulin resistance and inflammation. A primary value of fish oil is that is helps to reduce inflammation.
Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory whereas some other fatty acids are pro-inflammatory. For example, arachidonic fatty acid is pro-inflammatory. Arachidonic acid dominates the average diet (meat and dairy), and without omega 3 fatty acids, such as fish concentrate oil, this balance tips in favor of inflammation, pain, and blood vessel constriction.
I think most of you know by now that a condition called "insulin resistance" is a major cause of PCOS symptoms, whether overweight or not. Insulin resistance is simply an inability to efficiently utilize the insulin hormone.
But not everyone is clear about the role that inflammation plays in polycystic ovarian syndrome. It's important because the majority of those with PCOS exhibit chronic inflammation. And, as shown in the diagram above from a medical journal, inflammation can make insulin resistance worse.
So when you're thinking about supplements for insulin resistance, you also want to also think about their anti-inflammatory possibilities.
Take omega-3 oils and vitamin E for example. A study of women with PCOS published last month in the journal of Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology showed these two nutrients in combination for 12 weeks reduced markers of inflammation as well as blood fats. The women also significantly improved their antioxidant capacity.
The omega-3 oil used in the study was flaxseed oil. However, fish oil is superior for our purposes because it contains the EPA and DHA anti-inflammatory fatty acids. In contrast, flaxseed oil has to go through metabolic steps inside the body to be converted into EPA and DHA. Only a small fraction of flaxseed is converted, thus it is much less effective compared to fish oil.
A good source of natural vitamin E is found in this multi-vitamin/mineral.
Melatonin is one of the master hormones in the body. It performs many functions, including supporting ovarian health and egg quality.
Unfortunately, many women with polycystic ovary syndrome suffer from disturbed sleep, which impairs melatonin production.
According to a recent French study of hamsters, omega-3 fats improve production of melatonin. One group of hamsters was given a diet deficient in omega-3 fats. The other group had a diet adequate in omega-3 fats. The omega-3 deficient hamsters had melatonin production that was 52% lower than the other hamsters.
It appears that omega-3 fats favorably affect the pineal gland in the brain, which is the production center for melatonin.
Fish EPA-DHA capsules offer a highly concentrated amount of omega-3 fats. It's a good way to get the essential fats you need without having to eat a lot of fish.
Excessively high levels of testosterone are linked to most symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Find out how these oils can help you reduce your testosterone levels.
Many women with PCOS have high triglycerides, a blood fat that indicates insulin problems that could lead eventually to diabetes. Fish oil has been shown to consistently lower triglycerides.
Omega 3 oils can reduce the risk of diabetes by reducing triglycerides without impairing glucose tolerance.
It improves the rate of glycogen storage and enhances insulin secretion from beta cells in the pancreas. Both of these actions improve glucose and insulin control.
Chronic stress leads to overproduction of the stress hormone cortisol, which in turn increases insulin resistance. Marine oils blunt the "stress response".
Omega-3 fats ensure that a woman's fat tissue contains a reserve of these fats for the developing fetus and the breast-fed newborn infant. Consumption of omega-3s during pregnancy reduces the risk of premature birth and improves intellectual development of a fetus. DHA, one of the omega-3 fats, is especially important for proper development of your unborn child.
The presence of large quantities of omega-3 EPA and DHA fats in the diet slightly lengthens pregnancy, and improves its quality.

Omega-3 fatty acids could play a positive role in the prevention of menstrual problems and postmenopausal hot flushes.
It has been reported that women with PCOS are more likely to have impaired lung function as compared to other women.
Fish fats may improve your lung function.
The National Research Center for Environment and Health in Germany has reported a correlation between lung capacity and the level of DHA, which is one of the omega-3 fats found in fish. People with the highest DHA levels also had the best lung capacity.
The authors of this study concluded: "A high concentration of [DHA] may have a protective effect on lung function. Because this long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid is almost exclusively derived from marine oils, fish might have a beneficial effect on lung diseases."
Omega-3 fatty acids can help to prevent the development of certain cancers, particularly those of the breast and colon, and possibly of the uterus and the skin.
All in all, omega 3 oils from fish are likely to benefit women with PCOS or ovarian cysts.

"We're out of water." Turn the tap and it just doesn't come out. Before coming to Kathmandu I took water for granted; it would always be there when I needed it - for showers, laundry, drinking, flushing the toilet. Water here is not so simple (though I know that we have it much better than many).
Our primary source of water comes from the city, though it comes intermittently and if there is a schedule I sure don't know it. It goes into an underground holding tank in our yard. From that tank we must pump it up to the tank we have on the roof (though that requires electricity which, as I've said before, is not consistent). That happens once a day or once every couple days. Sometimes, we go through all our water before we get city water, so we use water that's been stored in big holding tanks on our property. That water gets piped into the underground holding tank and then pumped up to the roof tank. If there is no back-up water we call in a water tanker and pay to have our water filled from the truck - we've only had to do that once so far.
Basically I'm already looking forward to the hottest, longest shower ever when we go home to Portland for Christmas break!
I just wrote about water this morning and am now catching up on your blog. The blessings we learn to appreciate!

New parents feel really pressurize when a new baby is born. Taking good care of them need lot of extra time and efforts. They are fragile like antique pieces or as soft as cotton ball. Thus, they are easily prone to any harmful things. There immune system is not yet developed and so they are more prone to diseases than us.
Mostly, parents concentrate on high brands products and believe what they see. But, do you know their ingredients?? Most of the high brand shampoo for babies contains chemicals which can cause damage to the baby’s skin and hair. The skin of the baby is very porous and chemicals can easily enter their body through skin. Thus, they need something more natural and skin friendly products which do not contain any harsh chemicals.
In this case, organic shampoo for baby can be a great choice. These shampoos are certified by Oregon Tith which only contains essential organic oils which are safe for baby.
Other than this, organic shampoo for baby does not contain foaming agent or artificial fragrance. Normal baby shampoo contains such ingredients in it. A chemical called, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), is used to create foam in the normal baby product which can cause damage to skin and irritation in retina. In a research it is found that the artificial fragrance I a baby’s shampoo can cause severe nose bleeding and respiratory problems.
Besides, organic baby shampoo is made up of natural ingredients like shikha kai, amla, coconut oil etc. which is good for the growing infant. No petrochemicals or petroleum is used in organic shampoo for baby and so it is very safe for the toddlers.
Anything and everything can have an adverse effect on them. It’s the responsibility of the parents to take good care of their loving new born. Their health is very important, and parents should take good care of all their needs. To keep your baby calm ad serene, parents should be a little concern on the product they are buying. Yes! Organic products can be a little more expensive than normal chemical using products, but isn’t your babies health is more important than few extra penny??

Cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is trading at 6411.98. Quotes of the cryptocurrency are traded below the moving average with a period of 55, indicating a bearish trend for Bitcoin. At the moment, the quotes of the cryptocurrency are moving near the lower border of the bands of the Bollinger Bands indicator. A test of level 6600.00 is expected, from which one should expect an attempt to continue falling and further development of a downward trend with a target near the level of 5850.00.
The conservative sales area for Bitcoin is located near the middle border of the Bollinger Bands strip at 7200.00. The abolition of the variant of the continuation of Bitcoin fall will be the breakdown of the mid-range area of the Bollinger Bands indicator strips, as well as the moving average with a period of 55 and the closing of the pair quotes above the 7400.00 area, which will indicate a change in the trend in favor of the bullish for BTC/USD. In the event of a breakdown of the lower boundary of the bands of the Bollinger Bands indicator, it is expected to accelerate the fall.

Whoever has their name on the most pieces of paper, wins.
This has been true in the print world since the beginning of print. The more copies available, the more exposure people have to those books. The more exposure, the more potential fans.
With authors, having big print runs is always a good thing. Even if a hardcover run doesn't sell that well, the books get remaindered. While authors don't get any royalties on these $3.99 discount titles found in the sales sections of bookstores, these books do find new readers, some of who will go on to buy the author's other, newer work.
If your book stays in print, and it's joined by other books of yours, this improves your chances to be discovered, because now you have shelf space. If your books take up five, ten, or twenty spots on a bookstore (or library) shelf, you're more likely to be noticed by browsers.
But your name on books isn't the only paper that counts.
Your name in reviews leads people to your books. Your name on the blurbs of other writers' books can also have a similar effect. Every short story you write and sell widens your potential fanbase.
Ads. Press releases. Articles. Every piece of paper your name is on can help your career, because it's one more reminder to the world that you exist. It's a paper trail that leads right to you.
But does this apply to virtual paper? How about ebooks and the Internet?
The Internet is permanent. Every mention of your name and your books will last forever, leading people in your direction. And unlike print, which can take a long time to build up to reach that critical mass/tipping point where you become a household name, the Internet can work much faster.
As far as I know, no author has gone "viral" yet. Though some, like Cory Doctorow, Boyd Morrison, and Scott Sigler, have used the Internet wisely to widen their fanbase and turn popularity into money.
This blog gets thousands of hit per week. On weeks I blog about ebooks, my ebook sales go up. When I release a newsletter to 10,000 people, my Amazon numbers spike. If I Twitter something timely, I get more traffic.
Your digital name on digital paper (the world wide web) works twice. First, it works for those who see it when it happens. Next, it works for those who see it weeks, months, or years after it happened.
It can be both instant and cumulative. And it can be very effective.
As of today, Feb 24 at 9:07am, I've made $2750 this month on Kindle.
I'd be a fool not to. More ebooks means more chances to discover me, which means more potential sales.
The more shelf space I have, the more books I'll sell.
Which brings us to the obvious question: What can you do to get your name on more pieces of paper?
1. Look At Your Past - My early novels, which were rejected more than 500 times, have become long-term investments that are finally paying off. I wish I had more rejected novels. If you've got a book that was good enough to land an agent, but didn't sell, there's no reason you shouldn't be getting some of this ebook traffic. Just make sure the work is good.
2. Previously Published Work - Got some out-of-print novels? Some short stories or articles? Turn these into ebooks. Put them on your website for free, and on Kindle for a small fee. The more virtual shelf space you take up, the better.
4. Reviews - Recently, several large NY Print Publishers announced they were discontinuing printed galleys and instead giving ebook advanced readers to booksellers and reviewers. Guess what? I've been doing this for years. I've sent out hundreds of ebooks for free to reviewers and bloggers and booksellers. If you can trade an advance ebook copy for a review, that's a small price to pay.
5. Writing. Writers write. If you're avoiding writing for the ebook market, you should perhaps rethink your priorities.
My third bestselling ebook on Kindle is TRUCK STOP. I wrote TRUCK STOP specifically for Kindle. And I had an insidious reason for doing so.
TRUCK STOP is a Jack Daniels novella, where Jack chases two killers. The first is Donaldson, the villain from SERIAL which I wrote with Blake Crouch under the name Jack Kilborn (and which has been downloaded more than 200,000 times.) The second is Taylor, the villain from AFRAID by Jack Kilborn.
TRUCK STOP is basically a gateway drug. Those who read SERIAL for free, or TRUCK STOP for $1.59, will often go on to read AFRAID and the entire Jack Daniels series. TRUCK STOP is a fun story, with some thrills and laughs, but its ultimate goal is to lead people to more of my writing. It's currently the #380 bestseller in the Kindle store.
AFRAID is currently #756 in the Kindle store. It came out ten months ago, and is priced at $5.59.
WHISKEY SOUR is currently #3174 in the Kindle store, priced at $4.79. That's not too shabby, considering it came out six years ago.
Why is a six-year-old book selling better than 420,000 other Kindle titles, many by big bestselling name authors?
Because of shelf space and paper trails. Because I've positioned myself there, with low cost Kindle books and timely blog topics. Because I've blurbed a lot of authors, and keep my website updated, and use Twitter and Facebook. Because I've toured, and been reviewed, and gone to conferences, and generally done all that I can to get my name out there.
I never got big discounting in the bookstores, or coop. I never got huge marketing campaigns. I never got big print runs, or my books in Sam's Club and CVS.
Yet I'm still standing. And I can't help but think it has something to do with my efforts to get my name on as many pieces of paper--both dead tree and virtual--as I possibly can.
Quality counts. But quantity is important too.
It would be wonderful if every new book got a huge print run and a major advertising campaign and a giant marketing push. I'm still waiting for that to happen to me.
But while I continue to wait, I'm doing everything I can to make my own luck. And as the tide shifts from DTBs to ebooks, more and more authors are going to make their own luck, too.

Plug D-Link’s DSP-W215 Wi-Fi Smart Plug into an AC outlet and you can use your smartphone or tablet to monitor and control any device that you plug into it—locally or from wherever you have Internet access. You can also integrate the Smart Plug into D-Link’s broader Connected Home Platform. But since it’s designed to control anything from a lamp to an oscillating fan, control is limited to turning the device on or off. It can’t do other useful things, such as dimming a connected lamp.
D-Link offers apps for the Android and iOS operating systems. You must open a mydlink account and enroll the Smart Plug if you want it to work with D-Link’s other connected-home devices. You’ll need to provide your email address (and your smartphone number if you want to receive SMS messages), but the service is otherwise free—apart from enduring ads for other D-Link products, that is. D-Link doesn’t offer PC or Mac software for monitoring or programming the device, and you can’t do those things from this web portal, either.
The Wi-Fi Smart Plug is an integral component in D-Link's Connected Home Platform.
Although the Wi-Fi Smart Plug is a wall wart, it doesn’t consume more than one AC outlet. Whether you’ll be able to fit a second wall wart into the outlet depends on the size and orientation of that second wall wart. The device has one button for manual control of the outlet, and a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button for automatically connecting to your Wi-Fi router (it operates only on the 2.4GHz frequency band). I tested it with D-Link’s latest 802.11ac router, the DIR-880L, but it should work with any router.
I have a bad habit of not reading instruction manuals before installing a product, especially when the product is in a category that I’m intimately familiar with. But when I opened the box with the Smart Plug, the only documentation I found inside was a GPL Code Statement (such a disclosure is required when a manufacturer uses software code subject to a GNU public license). So when I saw that the Smart Plug had a WPS button, the first thing I did was to connect it to my router using WPS.
I saw this message often with D-Link's Android app; the iOS version seems to be more stable.
“Okay, now what?” I said to myself. Then I remembered that D-Link’s PR department had sent me a printed reviewer’s guide for the product. Reading that, I learned that there should have been a quick installation card with the Smart Plug’s SSID and PIN printed on it.
The first step is to install the Smart Plug using its Android or iOS client software. So I reset the Smart Plug, downloaded the Android app to my HTC One smartphone, and started over. It took a couple of tries before I could get the Smart Plug to pair to the app, but it finally worked. The first thing the app wanted to do was update the Smart Plug’s firmware. That took a minute or two, but then an error message popped up to report that Smart Plug app had stopped.
The app asked if I’d like to report the failure, so I sent a message explaining what happened. Fortunately, when I restarted the app, it was able to find the Smart Plug and most everything operated as it should, except that every time I tapped the icon for the D-Link DCS-933L IP camera that was part of the system, the app would crash.
When I installed mydlink Home on an iPod and tapped the camera button, the app reported that I needed to also install the mydlink Lite app. Once I did that, the iOS version of mydlink Home worked with the camera without a problem. I then went back and installed mydlink Lite on my Android phone, but it didn’t help; the app continued to crash when I tried to access the camera.
You can’t be in a hurry when it comes to controlling your lamp. It takes about 15 seconds to launch the app and then for the app to connect to the Smart Plug. If you’re in the same room as the lamp, it would be quicker to get up and hit the switch yourself. When you turn the lamp on, the app will report its current electrical consumption (in watts) and the temperature of its receptacle (in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending on how you’ve configured it). You can set a high temperature limit and the Smart Plug will automatically shut off if that temp is exceeded.
the Wi-Fi Smart Plug is relatively small and shouldn't block an adjacent outlet.
Tap the arrow on the right of the screen, and you can bring up additional information and controls. Tap the power-consumption button, and the app will report the power consumption (for the Smart Plug and whatever is plugged into it) on a calendar or on a defined date. Tap the wrench icon on this screen, and you can establish a power limit (the Smart Plug will shut down when it reaches the consumption budget you’ve defined).
The budget is based on kilowatt hours (the default value is 30 kWh/month, but you can change this as well as the beginning of your utility’s billing period). The app will issue a warning when you near that limit (default value is 80 percent, but you can change it to whatever you like). This is a good idea in principle, but you’d need to have Smart Plugs controlling a majority of your home’s lighting and appliances for it to really make a difference. And in my home, most of my lights are in the ceiling and controlled by wall switches.
You can also program schedules when the Smart Plug will turn on and off. The Home and Away settings will be enough for most people, but D-Link provides three custom schedules as well. You choose which one you want to be active. The app has time-zone settings, but no controls for turning the Smart Plug on at dusk or off at dawn, and you can’t set “about” rules that would slightly vary the times the Smart Plug turns a lamp on or off in order to make it look as though someone is actually at home.
If you’re using the Smart Plug for home-security purposes—to fool a would-be burglar who's casing your home into thinking someone is inside it—lights going on and off on a rigid schedule is a dead giveaway to any smart criminal. People aren’t robots. And as you’ve probably guessed, there’s no support for advanced features such a geofencing, where lights automatically turn on and off based on the physical location of your smartphone.
Getting the most out of the D-Link’s Wi-Fi Smart Plug means confining yourself to D-Link’s walled garden of devices and apps and controlling it with your smartphone or tablet. Be sure to read my review of D-Link’s DCH-S150 motion detector to see how that device can trigger the Smart Plug, too.
I do think D-Link is making a mistake in not following Belkin’s lead and embracing the IFTTT (If This Then That) service. It would remedy some of the Wi-Fi Smart Plug’s limitations while requiring very little effort on D-Link’s part. As it stands, D-Link’s device has little to recommend it.
This is one of the least-intelligent smart plugs I've encountered. As cheap as it is, it's too expensive for what it delivers.

Thanks to the dedicated work of the Utilities and Energy Services Department at Texas A&M, the General Services Complex (GSC) and the Agricultural and Life Sciences (AGLS) Building recently received status for the 2015 ENERGY STAR certification given by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This is a tremendous feat, especially considering these are the only two buildings in the Bryan-College Station area currently certified for 2015. ENERGY STAR is the single most trusted environmental label in the United States. It’s the nation’s symbol for superior energy performance. In fact, more than 85 percent of Americans recognize the ENERGY STAR when they see it. As the only environmental certification program that crosses platforms, the little blue label now appears on more than 65 types of products, over one million homes, and more than 20,000 buildings. "Our buildings at Texas A&M are part of the campus community and the people who walk by them or through their doors everyday are, too. When our community passes through doors that have the ENERGY STAR logo, they will know that we (students, faculty, and staff) are hard at work conserving the resources that have been entrusted to us".
The process of receiving ENERGY STAR certification begins with the collection and submission of energy consumption data to the ENERGY STAR website. All of the data, including consumption, building operations, and building square footage, is verified by a Professional Engineer before the data is officially submitted. The ENERGY STAR program delivers a score to a building based on the building type, characteristics, operating conditions, and regional weather data. A building that scores above a 75 will receive Energy Star certification. The Agriculture and Life Sciences Building received a score of 96 and the General Services Complex scored an 85.
In order to qualify to receive an Energy Star score, a building must be classified as a certain type of property. Some of these property types include Offices, Data Centers, Medical Offices, Financial Offices, and Retail Store. The only type of on campus buildings that can be certified currently is one classified as having a majority of office space. Multiple buildings were considered during the selection process in order to choose the most efficient building. Ultimately, the General Services Complex and the Agriculture and Life Sciences buildings were chosen based on their energy efficiency and because an Energy Stewardship team member works closely with the building to monitor energy usage. The Energy Steward assigned to each building works with the building personnel to create a schedule and offer operating techniques that will help to reduce energy costs. In each of these buildings, the Energy Steward has implemented a weekend and nighttime set back schedule. This allows for less energy to be used in the evenings and weekends when the building is unoccupied. These are also both newer buildings with new, efficient equipment that helps to lower energy consumption.

The key to making improvements in trading is to truly understand where the gains and losses come from. In the heat of the moment, taking trade after trade, it’s impossible to ascertain to a fine degree of accuracy what’s working well and what isn’t. Hidden patterns may exist due to factors such as time of day, day of week, instrument traded, trade size etc. that may impact the performance of trader strategies.
The Jigsaw Peak Performance Dashboard reveals these patterns in your teams’ trading data, enabling you to make educated decisions about the future direction of the team.
Get vital information at a glance, then drill-down to investigate in more detail. Time of day and day of week analysis reveals time based performance anomalies. Make intelligent decisions about when to scale up to take advantage of high performing periods as well as when to reduce exposure during higher risk periods. Look to scale back/change strategy when performance suffers.
As your team makes adjustments, the result of those changes should be evident over time. Comparative analysis gives you feedback on whether the changes are really giving you the desired results. In addition, comparative analysis can also point out additional anomalies as the image on the left shows.
In addition to the graphical displays, the Peak Performance dashboard comes with a number of valuable statistics. Like the charts, these statistics change with the filtering you apply to the data. This allows you to do “what if?” analysis to see the theoretical impact of proposed changes.
No matter what markets, platforms and data feeds you use in-house, we can import the history into the Peak Performance Dashboard. Pre-built data imports exist for the most common trading back-end systems and new imports can be produced in a day or two.
Every firm is different, our Peak Performance Dashboard is built with customization in mind. New statistics and graphical representations can be added at extremely low cost, often within a day or two. The only limit is your imagination.

[Risk No. 152] Normally the postal worker doesn’t bring our mail up to us. On this particular day though, he did. I was in the midst of updating this blog when Mac walked in. I asked if we could pray for him (and whether anyone had ever asked him that while he was on the job). No one had (which unfortunately seems to be the norm). I’m not trying to be prideful or arrogant, but I’m excited for the day when I start meeting people who are being prayed for all the time! Brothers and sisters, come together – loving and praying for strangers is easier than you may think! The Holy Spirit helps us!
He had pain in his back and we prayed over him, blessed him and thanked him for his service. He smiled massive and thanked us. Praise God for Mac and the Postal Service.

Islamabad (AP) — Hundreds of fans stayed up late to welcome home members of new Champions Trophy winner Pakistan in the cities of Lahore and Karachi on Tuesday.
Messages such as “Champion of champions. Team Pakistan! Welcome back after such a tremendous victory” were emblazoned on banners erected at Allama Iqbal International Airport, along with a picture of the team carrying the trophy.
Television footage showed supporters chanting “Pakistan Zindabad,” which means long live Pakistan, when four of the players entered the public area at 2:30 am.
Player-of-the-tournament Hasan Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Babar Azam, and Ahmed Shehzad were presented with bouquets by Punjab provincial ministers.
Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif was due to receive the cricketers, but Geo Television reported he couldn’t travel to the airport at the last minute because of security reasons.
Pakistan stunned the cricketing world on Sunday when they crushed archrivals and hot favorites India by 180 runs in the final.
Ali took three wickets in the final and finished as the tournament’s leading bowler with 13 wickets in five matches.
In the southern port city of Karachi, fans decorated the entire street and house of captain Sarfraz Ahmed, who arrived with fast bowler Ruman Raees at 4:45 am with the trophy that Pakistan had won for the first time.
Both cricketers were presented with traditional Sindhi shawls and caps at the lounge as fans, and airport officials didn’t miss an opportunity to take selfies with their heroes.
“Thanks God … it’s all because of prayers of whole nation,” Ahmed said as he walked out of the lounge surrounded by dozens of his fans and security officials.
Raees said he didn’t sleep for the last two days because of all the excitement.
Provincial governor Mohammad Zubair said he was proud of “son of Sindh” Ahmed and hoped the victory will ignite more energy into youngsters playing the sport.
“He is the son of Sindh province and we are here to accord him warm welcome,” Zubair said.
Back at Ahmed’s home, hundreds of fans waited through the night to welcome their hero, with some carrying children on their shoulders to get a glimpse of Pakistan’s winning captain.
Fans had also brought a special 70-foot (21-meter) long national flag and carried it in the street as Ahmed drove home in a special convoy provided by the provincial government.

Our Brotherhood has been bringing young men on this journey for five years. The trip is unique in only welcoming men open to considering a celibate vocation.
This challenge has inspired rather than deterred men on our campuses: 43 men have made the trek. Of these men, 23 are still moving toward a celibate vocation, most within our Brotherhood but another six are discerning the priesthood. That's more than half - praise be to God!
Our Kolkata adventure is led by Br. Adam Neri and Br. Patrick Reilly, who have seen first-hand over the years the powerful effect the selflessness to “ serve the least of these brothers and sisters of mine” (Matthew 25:40) has on our group of men.
While there are Catholics who come to Kolkata, for a number of worldwide volunteers it’s the first time they are hearing the Gospel. We start simply by having conversations and building community.
“The fellowship that grows between us is so genuine, that when it’s time to leave there’s a receiving line to wish the guys good luck and God’s blessings,” said Br. Patrick. As a result a number a number of volunteers have experienced a conversion, returning to the sacraments or entering the Catholic Church.
As Mother Teresa said, “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” During our mission, we join with volunteers from around the world to perform simple tasks of great love by caring for and feeding the poor, the sick and the dying.
Each morning in Kolkata begins before dawn with morning prayer. We then walk a few blocks to the Missionaries of Charity motherhouse for 6 a.m. Mass. Our group gathers in a volunteer room with pilgrims from all over the globe before heading off to our service assignments for the day.
During a typical Mission, half of our group will serve at Prem Dan, a long-term convalescent facility for men. The other half of our group serves at a children’s orphanage.
In the evening, our group comes together to pray and share our struggles, yearnings and awakenings from our day of service as well as our thoughts on where the Lord may be leading us through our mission experiences.
The Brothers’ vocational mission to Kolkata this year takes place May 8 to 23. Please pray for the Brothers and the six men on this year’s mission, that their hearts will be set on fire for the Lord.

After finding myself sucked in to The Hound of the Baskervilles recently whilst randomly flicking through channels, I realised that I had never actually read any Sherlock Holmes. Yet, if asked, I’d probably say that I knew the stories well. After reading A Study in Scarlet, it turns out I was wrong on this count (at least for this novel) and the story is very little like the one I had in my head.
I chose A Study in Scarlet because it’s the first of the Sherlock Holmes stories and I like to do things in order. It was a good choice I think because it introduced me to a Dr. Watson that wasn’t the bumbling old man I had in my head, rather a war veteran who, whilst maybe not as good at sleuthing as Holmes, had a lot going for him.
Holmes’ introduction was also very interesting. He doesn’t come across as the most personable of people, which I didn’t expect, but he seems more aware of this than I had thought he would be. Who he is laid out clearly, in his own words (“I get in the dumps at times, and don’t open my mouth for days on end. You must not think I am sulky when I do that. Just let me alone, and I’ll soon be right.” ).
The other main character, Lestrade, was also a bit of a revelation as, again, I think him a bit dull-witted but Holmes himself says he is ” quick and energetic” if conventional. He also doesn’t seem as annoyed by Holmes as sometimes portrayed but happy to ask for help (if not to share the glory).
I felt like I was meeting all the characters with fresh eyes and tried to keep visions of Basil Rathbone and Benedict Cumberbatch to the back of my mind as I read. This is difficult with Holmes been so well known but as the novel progressed I found it easier because I was drawn in to the story.
The story itself is one of revenge and it doesn’t take long for Holmes to find the clues he needs to solve the case. I hadn’t expected him too as the book was short – just over 100 pages – but it only took the first half for him to do so. Then, with the killer identified, Conan Doyle goes on to tell the story of the how and the why. The first half was told through the eyes of Dr. Watson, the second in the third person. Both were good, though I did have a bit of a jolt going from one to the other. Again, though, it wasn’t long before I was drawn in.
This really is an easy story to get sucked into and to read, both in length and writing style. It may be over a 100 years old but it didn’t feel it. With very few changes, it really could have been written today. No wonder the stories are so loved and the subject of TV and film. I liked this a lot and will be reading more.
I’ve been really wanting to read the actual Sherlock Holmes stories for awhile now so thanks for the push! I’m looking forward to getting started!
I can’t believe I haven’t read them sooner. Hope you enjoy them!
I kind of want to watch TV and film versions now too to compare. Is it hard when the shows are so fresh to read the story?
I have not read any Holmes either so its awesome you gave this one a shot.
It’s well worth a go if you like mysteries and crime. As long as you can put the TV and films out of your mind.

That rear tire wear makes me feel all tingly and happy.
new rear meats. as you can kind of make out, even in the background they appear larger. these are toyos R888, 315-series. Going to give them a try.
Looks like the tire pressure was too high? That kind of centerline wear is curious.
That or high wheel speed vs ground speed ratio. The truck I learned to drive stick on (off road) used to wear rear tires like that. 5th gear at 20 mph ground speed was common.
i look forward to seeing what abuse the toyos can handle.
its july/august in florida and RAINS EVERYDAY... so i have put about 10 miles on it in a month.
however.... my clubs annual night autocross event is 8/11, so i have bought additional LED lighting that i unpackaged and thats as far as i have gotten. debating on putting them above the windshield, cowl area or near the existing headlights. we run this event by moonlight and car lighting only, so every year its a showcase of rashly affixed light bars.
Annual autocross night event was saturday. Weather was perfect, AUgust in FLA warm, breezy, no rain. Pics and video will follow later this week.
I ran with my new toyo R888rs in the rear and the Sumitomos i had left on the front. This made for quite a pendulum swing. I knew the Sumitomos were bad, but i wasnt expecting it to be this drastic.
The car went from being a nearly uncontrollable drift machine to understeer prone. The rear felt glued to the asphalt. Obviously i dont want to drop too much $ into consumables this year as i sort-out the car, but i think there is such a disparity now in tires i am forced to buy a pair of toyos for the front. Continuing to autocross on this arrangement wont tell me anything about the cars setup. At least, that is my excuse for the expenditure.
lovin that positive rear camber.... my opinion, about the only thing chevy got wrong with the C5/6 chassis.
Aren't there elliptical UCA(or LCA's) bushings or some such 'kit' to rectify this?
yea, as far i have found there is exactly one company making an offset bushing set. as such, they aint cheap, but i think they will be necessary. around $1500 for a car set, uppers and lowers.
here is video from the day/night split event. 4 runs shown on split screen with day above night view.
big day tomorrow. 2018 local event #9. first event on four fresh toyo R888r 315s.
It's already been talked about, but it does look like the angle of attack of your wing is rather steep and probably stalled. In your case, the high drag from stalling the wing might provide more advantages than disadvantages. Since the wing is so high up, the moment arm is long and drag at the wing would shift your weight backwards onto the rear wheels, increasing rear grip at the cost of increased drag. If other cars in your segment have similar wing sizes and AoA, they're probably all mounted high up, right?
so yea, there were no models or calculation done in the design of the wing for this thing. but, looking at true A-mod or mod autocross cars in general and pikes peak type aero packages, the rear wings have agressive angles and mounted near or above the top of the cabin. so thats what i tried to mimic on the quick and cheap! my logic... is that the drag increase is worth it if i can substantially improve rear grip.
once i reduce some of the karts other variables i plan to try various angles/adjustments to see if i can discern any differences WRT autocross.. i can tell a difference in rear grip both on the street and autocross with the wing on, can also feel the drag. i drove it a bit at interstate speeds with the wing down, when you let of the gas teh air brake effect was substantial!
For the first time i had cooling issues. previously no matter how much i beat on it, it would stay right at 200deg.
At event 9 and the hour-ish ride home i encountered symptoms that make me think its the pump or thermostat... open to opinions.. The setup is a large aluminum radiator, stock C5 elec fans and stock mechanical pump/stat.
1-When i returned from runs temp would rise (getting into the 230-240deg range) with the car idling in grid, when i increased the engine speed to ~2000rpm it would pretty quickly cool back down to the 210-220deg range.
2-on the way home, running about 50mph in 5th gear, when i slowed down in traffic temps would again go over 220deg but come back down when i got going again.
3-here is real unusual symptom.... i was on freeway for a brief stint, going about 80mph, in 5th gear is about 2300rpm, so i dropped it into 6th gear, going about 1800rpm, the temps began to climb again. when it went over 220deg, i put it back into 5th and it again cooled down almost immediately back to around 210deg.
upon further investigation... radiator was only about 1/2 full of coolant, expansion tank was bone dry. worse, there was a brown clay/sludge material around the cap and visible inside the radiator... since there is no steel in the cooling system and oil floats on water... i presume the head gasket has a slight leak.
i am going to pull the plugs next. if any look bad i will probably do a compression/leak down test. but as it is, i suspect just the oil and water are mixing... nothing necessarily into the cylinder.
the next decision is whether to replace the head gaskets before the october events. leaning towards putting it back together, monitoring the coolant level better and continue to beat on it... .
I vote coolant level maintenance versus top end redo at this juncture....I see a 'winter' project looming.
agree. except (florida) 'winter' is my preferred driving season!
Truthfully, another motivation to slap it back together and call it 'fixed' is the intake is currently off on my ZHP to replace a coolant pipe (and associated growth work) that fractured where it goes into the cylinder head... so my inventory of running vehicles is down to 50%.
it will go back together today. new 180deg thermostat and water pump. will see what happens!

As Riaz got older, he began to familiarise himself with more masters — Miyazaki Hayao, Takahata Isao, Otomo Katsuhiro. He fell in love with the works of Studio Ghibli in particular, and films like Kiki’s Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, and Only Yesterday inspired him to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. In 2010, Riaz enrolled at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture in Karachi, where he studied illustration for two years. But it wasn’t until he saw Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises that Riaz seriously thought he might be able to follow in the footsteps of his heroes. “[The Wind Rises] is what made me realize, ‘We can do this in Pakistan.’ I could see Jiro Horikoshi’s journey, how he would take English magazines about aeronautical engineering and he would sit with a dictionary and translate it into Japanese and just look at the pictures”, says Riaz.
In 2013, Riaz was selected to become a TED Senior Fellow — the youngest ever at 22 — because of his exceptional musical skill. As a result, he then studied for a few years at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Riaz characterizes this time as a slightly ridiculous, if happy, detour from his true goal of becoming an animator. Still, he’s grateful; after all, if it weren’t for his experiences with TED, Riaz says he never would have been able to start Pakistan’s first hand-drawnanimation studio. It was because of a TED connection, in fact, that Riaz was able to visit Studio Ghibli and the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo in 2015.
“It was a dream come true, that whole trip”, says Riaz.

I fear for what tomorrow holds.
I tremble with the thoughts of my loneliness.
Silence has become my great companion.
The touch of every breeze over my skin the only one I get.
My emotions and reality at odds leaving me frustrated.
Living in a bubble that only I understand.
Watch colour fade from our lives with each passing day.
Our superiority complex our greatest weakness.
Yet we don't see it.
I cry and I weep.
For there is no tomorrow.
For I see none that will truly matter.
So I watch our destruction.
In my loneliness and solitude.
For they understand and see what I see.
For all I am left with is my lamentation.

In 2013 I had been trying to buy a replacement battery for an iPod I wanted to sell. I hardly listened to it anymore so why keep up things you don’t use right? Apparently all apple authorised dealers do not deal with spares for iPods this led me to go and start looking at alternative places to get my battery. Online stores. Several of the online stores with good reputation did not ship it to Kenya, this led me to searching alternative stores then I landed on DX.com which claimed it shipped orders to Kenya within 14 days. After three months of waiting I decided that I had been conned there is the time allowance when you have to decide to call a debt bad yes?
I was expecting something yesterday in my mail box and was pretty excited. I open my mail box and after sifting through a bunch of bills from previous owners of the box I find a brown padded envelope, you know those they mail things going long distances in? Surely what I expected was way bigger. On close scrutiny I notice it was mailed December 2013! It took a complete 1 year and 2 months! As I checked my merchandise inside it hit me, I had opted for free shipping. Well free is darned expensive, because I’m sure my iPod now has lost half of its value with things like PonoPlayer entering the market.

The new overpass at the Magic Kingdom Toll Plaza has opened and allows drivers to quickly bypass the tolls and continue northbound on World Drive. This is extremely convenient for residents of Horizon West, as this route is popular for many residents when returning home. To proceed straight, drivers should remain to the LEFT of World Drive to go on the overpass. Continuing straight leads into the Magic Kingdom parking lot, and the old temporary off-ramp to the right now only leads to Fort Wilderness.
