I call myself a Tantric Whore because I can spin the excess sexual energy that floats in our atmosphere and I'm greedy with it. I can cum all day long by scooping up the excess and/or cast-off energy of others and spin it for my own delight. Ohhh Fuck! A little or a lot - I just scoop it up and store it or play in it. It feels so wonderful.
Safe Sex Anyone?! Most of the time there's no fluids exchanged. It's just me and the energy. It pulsates through me and I cum. Fast and easy or slow and rich. The feeling is out of this world. A natural high.
Sometimes I get lucky and one of my lovers will be tantric. The tantric energy makes us feel bonded on a deeper level and our sexual attraction is off the charts. You might feel like you have met your soul mate or a kindred spirit. It's very deep feeling and very different.
Few understand that Tantric energy isn't just sexual energy - it's really kind of like stem cells - it's nurishing energy. You can use it for sex or practically anything. I am one of the fortunate few souls that can repurpose that loose tantric energy (and I do). There is a lot of it available - poor repressed souls cast ribbons of this energy aloft all the time. Lovers give it off as they move or walk along. It is free for the taking. If I am not paying attention - I walk into it all the time.
At first, it felt scary, because it is a powerful wave of energy. It doesn't hurt - to me it sometimes feels cool - gentle and refreshing. Other times it feels like a soft warm mist. Like jellyfish, you walk or swim into it. However, it can be impacting, too. Espectially if it's a targeted wave - sent to you for fun or mischief. I'd lay odds that some women mistake it for hot flashes. The feeling can be very similar. It grows on you. You either evolve or run to your doctor and get something to stop it. I hate drugs - so I learned to deal with the energy. Now, I love it and it feels so fucking wonderful.
I am a universal energy conduit on the norm. I pray regularly and build my energy up. It's my way of giving back to Earth and her people. I'm a glitter-bug and I spread the healing light wherever I go. Now, I can do the same with the tantric energy I encounter. I scoop it up and weave the remnants I find into more balls of light and I redistribute that love, too. I'm addicted to the rush of positive energy. Make no mistake - I'm greedy with it, but I have enough to share - So I've become a whore - I'm willing to share my wealth ALL the time..
Come, Fuck with me - we don't need to mix fluids or even touch - just stand close and feel me pulse with energy. Feel my healing energy and/or my raw sex! Don't feel the chemistry? Give me a few minutes and I'll power you up! I can fuck you and nurture you, at the same time.
Or...stand close and l'll tease you to a whole new level! Man or woman - it matters not! Energy isn't picky!
Don't get me mad - who needs thunder or lightening - when you can fuck up someone's love life? I'm very patient - I'll wait for just the right moment; I'll catch you when you are looking at some hag or dirt bag and then send you some "love" energy.... Detangle your emotions now, mother-fucker! Ha Ha Ha..
99% of the time, I am balanced and loving. And Now that I can cum anytime and anywhere - I am a lot more happy, too.
I love being a Tantric Whore!

'Prime Evil' may win paroleComment on this story
Johannesburg - The paperwork on whether apartheid killer Eugene de Kock gets parole is waiting for Minister of Correctional Services S'bu Ndebele's decision.
And a little hiccup around controversial suspended SAPS crime intelligence chief Richard Mdluli may be delaying the decision.
De Kock, nicknamed "Prime Evil", commanded the notorious apartheid police Vlakplaas hit squad. He was jailed for a range of offences from fraud to murder, with sentences totalling 212 years plus two life sentences, and remained in jail because he got only partial amnesty.
De Kock was arrested a week before Nelson Mandela's inauguration as president in May, 1994 and has been in jail ever since. He was sentenced in October 1996.
As Correctional Services minister, Ndebele makes the final decision on whether he gets parole. The department is understood to have asked the State Security Agency (SSA) to investigate any possible links between De Kock and Mdluli, who also served in the apartheid-era police.
"This matter – we've heard about it," said Brian Dube, a spokesperson for the SSA, when asked about the Mdluli-De Kock investigation, but he referred queries to Correctional Services.
"If a request was made, we would not make that public… We won't be able to comment."
Mdluli could not be reached for comment.
Ndebele's spokesperson, Manelisi Wolela, would last night not confirm nor deny whether De Kock's request for parole had been approved, but said that the minister was applying his mind to each parole application.
"Over the past few months, (Ndebele) has considered the parole applications of hundreds of inmates sentenced to life imprisonment, including that of offender Eugene de Kock, (which) is currently receiving due consideration."
Wolela said that the department was not aware of any communication with the State Security Agency with regards to the alleged investigation involving Mdluli.
De Kock's lawyer, Pretoria attorney Julian Knight, expressed amazement at the suggestion of any Mdluli-De Kock investigation. "If that is a consideration of the minister, then it is bizarre in the extreme."
Knight said he understood that the National Council for Correctional Services had recommended De Kock's parole to the minister in November.
On Friday, he queried the delay in the decision.
"While I welcome the decision to release De Kock, I feel that there is no point in trying to play politics and delay his release," said Knight.
"He is the only member of the apartheid regime that was punished for the sins of the generals and politicians, whose orders his sin was to obey. While they enjoyed their pensions and the consort of their wives, lovers and families, De Kock had to languish in prison for the last 19-and-a-half years."
Judge Siraj Desai, the chairman of the National Council on Correctional Services, would not comment on De Kock's application.
This week, De Kock brought an application to compel the minister to make a decision within two weeks on his parole application.
De Kock said that last year, his parole application was approved by the various levels of the parole system and went to the National Council for Correctional Services, which in November made a recommendation – "the contents of which I am not acquainted with" – to the minister.
Since then, the minister has "failed, neglected and/or refused to consider" that recommendation, he said, and called for a decision.
In an affidavit supporting his application for a decision, De Kock said that he had served 17 years of his sentence and was eligible to apply for parole.
As a lifer sentenced in 1996, De Kock is entitled to apply for parole earlier than those sentenced under current law. The minister is not obliged to grant parole.
"I am the only member of the South African Police Service that is serving a sentence for crimes which I had committed as part of the National Party's attempt to uphold apartheid and fight the liberation movements," said De Kock.
"Not one of the previous generals or ministers who were in the cabinet up to 1990 have been prosecuted at all.
"I would never have committed the crimes if it was not for the political context of the time, and the position I was placed in, and in particular the orders I had received from my superiors," he said.
"All actions took place under the auspices of an organised system, where I acted on orders given by superior officers, who have never been prosecuted." - Saturday Star

Taylor Swift (Jan 5th, 2011)
Taylor Swift doesn't stray far from her signature style of pulled-back, romantic curls.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Spritz a two-inch section of dry hair with styling spray and wrap it around a large curling iron. Hold in place for a few seconds to set the curl and then release. Repeat, alternating directions of the curl until all of your hair is wavy.
Step 2: Leave a few pieces out in front and sweep your texturized length back and slightly to the side, the twist until it buckles upon itself to form a messy bun. Tuck the ends in and pin the bun into place.
Step 3: Lock in your style with a spritz of finishing spray.

Tunable, Stretchable Optical Materials
Page 2 of 2
Cummer was part of the group that demonstrated the first invisibility cloak, which works in the microwave region of the spectrum and pulls off its feat by bending the waves around an object. He's currently working on tunable metamaterials for the microwave and radio regions, which he hopes will lead to antennas that dynamically block out interfering frequencies. Metamaterials that work with this band of the spectrum are easier to tune because they're built like circuit boards and can be switched with small bursts of power. It's more challenging to make active materials that work with higher frequencies like visible light and infrared light, where Atwater's materials work.
Cummer and Padilla note that the use of flexible materials also sets Atwater's work apart and makes it possible to imagine future applications such as infrared camouflage that integrates into a soldier's clothing, rendering him invisible to night-vision goggles. "A lot of this work is aiming to add to the tool belt," Cummer says. "As we get closer to applications, someone will want a flexible material."
The mechanical tuning concept is likely to work with many metamaterials designs, not just the particular resonator Atwater used. "This is quite a powerful approach," says Vladimir Shalaev, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University. "You could use different designs, depending on the properties you want, and build them on a stretchable material," he says.
To demonstrate one potential application of the tunable materials, Atwater's group made a simple chemical sensor. They designed the resonators in the flexible array to detect whether a particular type of carbon-hydrogen bond associated with a particular wavelength of light was present in a sample. The researchers tested the sensitivity of the array under different levels of strain and found that they could improve its sensitivity by stretching it. It's a proof of principle now, but it could be a first step toward a sensor that could detect multiple chemicals, which wouldn't even need to be known when the sensor was fabricated.

Five San Saba standout athletes pick their colleges
Over the past three years, the San Saba Armadillos have seen the skill, drive, and determination of five uniquely talented student-athletes: Shelby Hardy, Calea Turner, Katie Davis, Blake Lewis and Bobby Parritt.
Each of these students will be playing in their respective sport for five different colleges. At San Saba, all were dominant figures on teams that had remarkable success and each strove to elevate their teammates to higher levels of excellence.
Shelby's command and consistency at golf has earned her a spot at Sam Houston State in Huntsville. Tony Taylor, head coach of the girls basketball team, said Hardy "went to Austin all four years for state competition and was the junior state champion." Golf, however, did not keep her from playing basketball, where she contributed to a squad that went 75-18 over the past three years.
Calea Turner, who will be playing basketball for Western Texas College, averaged nine points, five assists and three steals per game for the Armadillos, an astonishing array of statistics.
Accompanying Shelby and Calea was Katie Davis, who, while playing both guard and forward for the basketball team, averaged an impressive 10 points, six rebounds, and three assists per game throughout her high school career. Katie will be playing for Sul Ross this fall in Alpine.
All three girls, Taylor said, were all-district performers.
The boys fared equally well while playing for the Armadillos. As a left-handed pitcher, Blake Lewis went 26-12 over the course of his sophomore, junior, and senior years. Athletic Director and head football coach Jeff Pannell said that, in addition to striking out frustrated opponents, Blake played as the designated hitter his senior season.
"He was a big part in helping us get a sound baseball program and it will be a great opportunity for him to play in college," Pannell said. Additionally, Lewis was not only all-district in his junior and senior years, but he was all-West Texas in those same seasons. Blake will be attending McMurry in Abilene this fall.
In football, Bobby Parritt proved to be a tireless warrior.
A two-time all district performer, Parritt played both on the offensive line and as a linebacker, a rare combination of positions that requires both strength, weight and speed. Pannell, who was the defensive coordinator last season, said that "he was best defensively. He was a good player his whole career, a good kid." After averaging the most tackles per game last year, Parritt was named defensive MVP. He will bring his relentless style of play to Trinity University in San Antonio.

Timberlake Dances Like Michael Jackson in 'Love Never Felt So Good'
Not only is Michael Jackson's music still alive, but so are his iconic dance moves!
On Wednesday, the music video for "Love Never Felt So Good," Justin Timberlake's duet with the King of Pop, debuted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and in it, new life is brought to MJ's moves thanks to Justin and some talented fans.
When Justin called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest in early May to talk about his collaboration with Michael, he revealed he didn't initially jump at the chance to become a part of the Xscape project.
"My first reaction was, 'There is no way' … I'm such a loyal fan to him and his music that it seemed almost too much of a thing, but then I kept hearing this song and … it just felt so good … It kind of spoke to me. It reminded me of some of the stuff Tim [producer Timbaland] and I had worked on on 20/20 Experience."

text: Tim Cook: We're Going to Make Macs in America He doesn't say which Mac line, or where the manufacturing will happen By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted Dec 6, 2012 10:20 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (50) (Newser) – Looks like Apple is sick of being the face of outsourcing. America's most valuable company is bringing production of one of its Mac lines to the US, CEO Tim Cook says in a pair of interviews out today. "We've been working for years on doing more and more in the United States," Cook tells Brian Williams at NBC, pointing out that the iPhone's "engine" and screen glass are already produced domestically. "Next year, we will do one of our existing Mac lines in the United States." (No word on which one, or where said manufacturing will happen.) "The consumer electronics world was really never here," he adds. "So it's not a matter of bringing it back, it's a matter of starting it here." In a Bloomberg interview also released today, he reveals that the company will do more than "just assembly" in the US. "We wanted to do something more substantial. So we'll literally invest over $100 million." But Cook also sounded committed to Foxconn, boasting of all the work Apple was doing to improve conditions there, including educating workers about their rights.

Apple, DOJ may land e-book settlement within weeks
updated 05:10 pm EDT, Fri March 30, 2012
Leaks have Apple giving up lowest-price claue
Apple may be ready to make important concessions to settle a possible Department of Justice lawsuit over e-book pricing, a pair of sources claimed Friday. Although not concrete, a deal could come "in the next few weeks," the Reuters insiders said. The core of the deal would revolve around Apple dropping its "most favored nation" clause, which bars publishers from offering a lower price at other stores.
The deal might also reinstate the wholesale model, where the store sets the price and publishers are paid a flat rate for any book, regardless of its selling cost.
None of the involved parties would comment.
The DOJ is said to suspect that Apple may have colluded five top publishers in adopting the agency model just ahead of the launch of the iPad and the matching iBookstore. By letting publishers set the prices and having that be the new minimum, Apple gave publishers relief from concerns that Amazon was underpricing Kindle e-books but also forced every other store to raise its prices if it wanted to do business with Apple.
Apple has claimed that Steve Jobs' remarks as quoted by biographer Walter Isaacson have been misinterpreted. It has argued that Apple just wanted to be more competitive and pointed to Amazon having a near-monopoly of e-books at the time. Amazon still leads, but at 65 percent now faces substantial competition from Apple (10 percent) and Barnes & Noble (20 percent).

What is Membership?
Since the beginning, GreenStar's mission focused on making nutritious, whole food available to its members. But membership means more than just access to good, healthy food...
When you join the Co-op you become a Member-Owner of a locally-owned and cooperatively operated values-based business. We focus on the social and environmental impact GreenStar makes on our local and global community, as well as economic performance. We put our values first, and return all profits back to the Co-op or donate them to the community.
One Member – One Vote means your voice truly counts!
Like all consumer co-ops, GreenStar is owned and democratically run by the people who use the store. Unlike traditional corporations where the amount of a stockholder's investment determines his or her voting power, every member at GreenStar has equal voting rights. As a Member-Owner, you have an equal say in the future direction of GreenStar.
By investing and participating in your co-op, you're putting your values into action.
Through your Equity Share investment and patronage, GreenStar supports the health and well-being of our member-owners, our community and the planet by:
- Purchasing from local farmers and businesses
- Paying a livable wage
- Using clean energy and recycled office supplies

- Offering health insurance to employees
- Donating to local charities and events
- Providing education on nutrition, health and sustainability
- Improving access to healthy food to those on limited budgets through the FLOWER program
Exercising Our Right to Vote...Right Here at GreenStar
Thursday, 01 November 2012 14:57
By Alexis Alexander,
Membership Manager
What a November! Not only do many of us have the opportunity to vote in an all-important national election, but as GreenStar member-owners we also have the opportunity to vote on two very important measures here at the Co-op: the first measure replaces our two-percent discount with a Patronage Dividend system; the second is a proposal for a Collegetown satellite store.
My purpose today is not to talk about the merits of the proposals. Rather, I want to focus on why strong membership participation in GreenStar's voting process is so important to the Co-op's current well-being and future growth.
Voting is both an essential benefit and a responsibility of membership. According to the second Cooperative Principle, cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting policies and making decisions. As member-owners, one way we can actively participate in decision-making is through the democratic voting process. Every GreenStar member-owner is eligible to vote in Council elections, on member-sponsored referendums, and on policy matters that require a membership vote, as outlined in our bylaws.
Voting has ended. The Patronage Dividend measure failed to pass. The Collegetown Crossing store measure passed.
The nature of voting in a cooperative model sets us apart from other traditional business models. Unlike in the world of corporations, where the number of votes is based on how much money people invest, every member-owner at GreenStar has an equal voting share, so no one's vote counts more than anyone else's. That's why a common co-op "mantra" is, "One Member! One Vote!" Voting is a benefit because it allows member-owners to directly shape the direction and vision of the co-op.
But voting is also a responsibility of being a cooperative member-owner. According to Elizabeth Archerd of The Wedge in Minneapolis, "Our co-ops are in danger of losing the distinction between consumer-owned businesses and other stores. Participation is the lifeblood of democracy. Without your willingness to participate, your stores will become pale imitations of the private chains."1
I believe what Elizabeth says is very true. Every co-op is unique because it reflects the needs and desires of its individual member-owners. But how can it do this if members don't vote?
You may not be aware of just how abysmal our turnout is in Council elections and other votes. You probably know that the United States has lower turnouts for national elections than many countries. The statistics for GreenStar, however, are even worse. Between 1960 and 2010, voter turnout for national general elections ranged from 36 to 63 percent, with presidential election years yielding a low of 49 percent.2 At GreenStar, we've been lucky to get 5 percent. A year ago, we didn't even get quorum — that's less than 2.5 percent — for important and, in certain cases, necessary changes to our bylaws. This meant not only that the vote didn't count, but also that the time and money invested in preparing for the vote was all for naught. A quorum of less than 2.5 percent at GreenStar, with a membership of over 8,000, means that we require a mere 200 member-owners to vote to consider the results valid.
As Membership Manager, my greatest concern is that our voting results with such poor representation won't truly reflect the majority views of our member-owners. Disconnected from the process, member-owners may not even be aware of the representation they're getting from Council members or of the changes taking place in our Co-op's evolution through Council decisions and the membership's voting process. I fear that, over time, the policies passed and initiatives undertaken won't reflect what the membership as a whole actually desires. The Co-op will become a mere fraction of what it could truly be, unable to best meet its member-owners' needs, as it will be catering to the perspectives of the few who vote. Under these circumstances, GreenStar cannot possibly attain its true vibrant potential.
Your participation — your opinion expressed through your vote — really, truly, actually matters! So this voting period, please vote. You have the entire month of November to do so. Ballots are easily accessible at the Member Centers in both stores. And being a somewhat competitive person, I want to challenge GreenStar's membership to achieve a voting statistic unheard of in at least our recent past. How about a turnout rate of 20 percent or more? Can we do it? I think we can!

Skye has moved to a new site. Where she no longer writes about herself in the third person. Like this one, but so-oh-so-very-much better. Please click on FROM MY DINING TABLE to find out more. Lots of new recipes, exciting menu ideas and much, much more awaits you. It really does.
Hasselback Potatoes
Imagination is a very powerful thing. It can distort reality without you even noticing. These potatoes, for example: I have made them so many times that I have begun to believe that they are my own recipe. When people come for dinner and compliment me on how tasty they are – because they are very tasty – I unashamedly take credit. 'Thank you' I say with a smug little smile. And leave it a that. Because in my mind, they are mine. But of course, they're not: the recipe is from Nigella Lawson's 'Forever Summer'. Unadulterated, unadapted, unchanged. Very much as is, and – although I hate to admit it – very much hers.
Still – they are delicious, they are absurdly easy to make and I love that they bear a distinct physical resemblance to little hedgehogs. Which is why I more often than not call them hedgehog potatoes, rather than by their actual name which is, of course, the far less adorable 'hasselback' potatoes.
To make them you need a trusty wooden spoon and a sharp knife. Point. Well, you need a frying pan and a roasting dish as well. But that's it. You put the little potato on the spoon and slice away – you can't go wrong and it makes these elegant roast potatoes completely and utterly do-able for even the most unskilled choppers, like myself. Sprinkle liberally with salt – Maldon is best as it adds a glamorously rustic touch, but regular will do otherwise. Voila`: crispy potatoes are yours – with an emphasis on yours, as in not Nigella's – to enjoy.
Hasselback Potatoes
- 750g baby new potatoes
- 45g butter
- generous splash of olive oil
- Maldon salt
Preheat the oven to 210 degrees. Put each potato in the bowl of a wooden spoon – as if you were going to eat it from a spoon – and cut across at about 3mm intervals, or as finely as you can. When you've cute them all, put the butter and oil in a pan over a medium heat until melted, then add the potatoes face down. Fry them for for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Take the potatoes out from the frying pan and put them into the roasting tin, chopped side facing up. Pour the cooking oils from the frying pan over them and sprinkle liberally with salt. Put them in the oven for 40 minutes to an hour or until deliciously crispy.
Afternoon Tea at the Kitchen Table for Six
Hot Cheese Scones with a Drizzle of Worcestershire Sauce
Carrot, Almond and Stem Ginger Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Early Grey Tea
This is a no-nonsense kind of a tea. No elegant finger sandwiches. No delicate petit fours, or tiny tarts topped with just the one lone strawberry. No champagne. No macaroons, though we love them dearly. This is a good old slab of cake and a couple of hot scones, ideally slathered in salty butter. Wash it down with a mug of hot tea – yes, you could even drink from a mug, no need for an ornate teacup here. It's a plonk it down on the kitchen table, relax and have a proper chat kind of a tea. The kind that everyone loves because it makes them feel at home.
It balances the savoury and the sweet like a grand tea master: there is cake, because you always need cake. But it's not a rich chocolate or a sugary sponge cake, it's a nice solid carrot cake. You could even bake it as a loaf and leave out the icing, if you preferred. And then there are scones – wonderful scones – crumbling with melted cheddar. Then there is nothing more, because you need nothing more. Other, of course, than some belly giggles and a good time. But you're friends will bring that.
The cake can be made days – a good few days – ahead: it just grows in flavour with time. The scones really are best eaten hot. To make them fresh: it will take you no more than a quarter of an hour to get the dough ready and in the oven with minimal mess. But if that sounds too much like stress and not enough like fun, then make them a few hours ahead – or that morning even – and then warm them gently on a moderate oven for a few minutes before serving.
Old Fashioned Cheese Scones
These scones are pure nostalgia. With each light, fluffy bite they evoke a bygone age – a time before twitter or blogs or telephones that you could carry with you. A time when afternoon tea was a regular affair with hot buttered toast and tinned sardines, fruit loaf and ginger snap biscuits, and warming cups of Earl Grey with milk and two sugars. A time that I know only from the loved and worn pages of Enid Blyton's books and stories told by my mother.
There is something about the ritual of baking these scones – the satisfying simplicity of the recipe and its ingredients, the inimitable scent wafting through the house as they cook in the oven, and how the crumble when you break one open still piping hot – that imbues me with a sense of comfort and nostalgia.
Of course you don't have to eat them at tea time. And you don't have to imagine yourself a damsel of the 1960s – that's just me. Wonderfully soft, dense with melted cheddar and spiced with a drizzle of Worcestershire Sauce – when eaten hot and with lashings of rich butter, these scones are truly irresistible. Equally good with a bowl of warming soup, or with some kind of stew to seep up the juices; for a light lunch with a few thick slices of cold ham and a dollop of pickle. Just increase their individual size (and cooking time) so that they are more like a cheese roll than a bite size scone.
But do make them yourself. And tell me that you don't fell that you have travelled through time.
Old Fashioned Cheese Scones
This recipe is adapted from 'Baking: A Common Sense Guide' which has sat on my kitchen shelf for years – my go to for classic recipes, the pages stuck together with the sticky crumbs of ingredients past. I have increased the ratio of cheese to scone, as well as adding the Worcestershire Sauce for a play on my favourite Welsh Rarebit. The trick to fluffy scones is handling the dough as little, and as gently, as possible. I use cellophane to roll it out: it's less messy than flour and it means that you don't affect the proportions of the dough by accidentally adding too much flour.
Prep Time: 15 minutes; Baking Time: 12 minutes
Makes: 15-20 small scones
- 250g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 30g chilled butter
- 120g grated cheddar cheese and a little to top the scones
- 2 tbsps Worcestershire Sauce and a little extra to top the scones
- 220ml milk
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and lightly grease a baking tray or line it with greaseproof paper. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Chop the butter into small cubes and using your fingertips, gently rub it in with the flour, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Pour in the grated cheese and stir it through, until well mixed. Make a well in the centre and add the milk and the Worcestershire Sauce, then with a flat-bladed knife use a cutting to bring the dough comes together in clumps. Roll out two sheets of cellophane, one on top of the other, on your worktop surface and place the ball of dough on top of that. Fold the cellophane over the dough and gently press down until you have a slab of dough about 2cm or so high. Lift back the top layer of cellophane and using a floured biscuit cutter, cut small rounds out of the dough. Then gather the trimmings and, without over-handling press out again before cutting more rounds. Lay the round out on the baking tray and top each one with an sprinkle of grated cheddar and a few drops of Worcestershire Sauce. Put the tray in the centre of the oven and leave for 12 minutes. Not a minute more, not a minute less. Set a timer. Try to resist the temptation to open the oven door before they are cooked, as it will bring down the temperature of the oven and the scones will not rise as well. When risen and golden brown, the scones are done. Eat straight out of the oven, or lay them out on a rack to cool slightly.
Pop Art Flowers
So, DIY is not really my thing. I would really like it to be my thing. I spend hours scouring through Design Sponge imagining myself as the kind of person who can make an art deco style bed out of a cardboard box and some sticky-back plastic. But I am too haunted by memories of DIY projects gone wrong to actually attempt making anything. There was the time that I nailed the back to the front when assembling a chest of drawers from Ikea – yes, it seems that I struggle to follow simple instructions. Or the time that I bought a sewing machine and just under thrity metres of fabric because I was going to make a whole array of cushions for our living room. Sewing machine and fabric still languish in our storage unit. Living room still distinctly lacking in homemade cushions.
But here is a DIY project that I can get my head around – although you may think it a little grandiose to call it a DIY project.
Step one: open a tin can – can just about manage that one, although I have been outsmarted by a tin opener before.
Step two: wash out tin can, being careful not to damage the label.
Step three: put pretty flowers in it. And fresh water too, of course.
That – I can do. And doesn't it look adorable? Campbells have launched a limited edition range of tomato soups in cans inspired by Warhol's iconic pictures from the sixties. For sale in most major supermarkets. Less than a pound. They're too pretty to throw away. I added brightly coloured roses to really make the colours pop. Small pun intended.
Pork Wellington with Caramelised Apple and Sage Stuffing
Everyone loves a sausage roll. Surely? They're one of the few things that I miss about being five years old. Yes, it was frustrating being told to go to bed at 7 o'clock. Yes, it was annoying always having to play nicely with other children. But the ubiquity of sausage rolls on the menu – think all those birthday parties and afternoon teas: that was something that I really enjoyed. Then I grew up and they just seem to have faded away. I don't often go to a restaurant and find a sausage roll on the menu. Likewise when we go to dinner parties. More is the pity.
So, when I say Pork Wellington what I really mean is a grown up sausage roll. Perhaps a touch more sophisticated. You might serve it with a fennel salad, say – I sadly have no recollection of fennel salad at my childhood teas – or at an elegant dinner party. But the character, the essence, the supreme yumminess is that of a sausage roll. That same crispy, buttery pastry. Those same meaty juices. Remember those? Irresistible.
A few tweaks: I have replaced the processed sausage meat with a juicy pork tenderloin – I like to think of this as a substantial improvement; then wrapped it in thin slices of parma ham and stuffed it with crisp apple, lightly caramelised in butter and demarara sugar. With just a hint of aromatic sage for good measure. Best of all, I topped it with a flaky pastry lattice for decoration. As I said, it is an elegant, sophisticated affair.
Pork Wellington with Caramelised Apple and Sage Stuffing
This keeps nicely in the fridge: if you would like to prepare it in advance, make up the Wellington, then wrap it in cellophane and store it in the fridge for up to a day. Two hours or so before you want to eat it, remember to take it out of the fridge to allow it to get to room temperature before cooking. This recipe calls for both puff and filo pastry. The puff is for the crust and the two sheets of filo stop the juices from the meat seeping into the pastry and making it soggy. For an excellent overview of how to prevent soggy pastry in any sort of Wellington, see here. I have cheated and used ready-made pastry. For those of you who enjoy the challenge of making your own pastry, I take my hat off to you and present you with challenges number one (the puff) and two (the filo).
Serves: 4; Prep Time: 25 mins; Cooking Time: 45 mins
- 2 small apples
- small bunch of sage
- 30g butter
- 2 tbsps demarara sugar
- pork tenderloin
- 12-15 slices of parma ham
- 2 sheets of ready made filo pastry
- 2 sheets of ready rolled puff pastry
- 1 egg
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Peel and thinly slice the apples, and roughly chop the sage leaves. Put the butter in a small pan over a medium heat and melt gently, then add the apples, herbs and sprinkle with sugar. Leave to cook in the pan for 10-15 minutes or until the fruit has softened, turning the apples every so often so that they don't burn. Take the pork tenderloin and cut it open, like you would cut open a baguette to make a sandwich, flatten it out and put it in a saucepan over a medium heat to sear the meat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side and then turn over and do the same on the second side. You want the meat to be lightly coloured on both sides. Then turn to your pastry. Place a sheet of the filo pastry on top of two sheets of cellophane (the cellophane will stop the pastry from sticking from the kitchen surface, and help you roll the meat in pastry) and lay the ham over it, covering it completely. When the apples are cooked spread them out over the meat and fold the tenderloin over, again as if making a sandwich. Then place the stuffed pork at the edge of the filo pastry and roll it up, as tightly as you can, using the cellophane sheets to help your. This is much easier than it sounds. A doddle, really. Then wrap your parcel in a second sheet of filo pastry, folding the ends tightly underneath. Now for the puff pastry, roll out your first sheet and place the pork meat parcel in the middle and wrap it as you would a present: close the top by gently pressing the pastry together and the ends by folding the excess pastry into a triangle and cutting off the corners. Check that the Wellington is sealed everywhere before moving on to the decoration. Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and cut it in a lattice shape using a device like this, or by hand for a more rustic look. Gently lift the lattice sheet up, stretch the holes out so that they are as even as possible – embrace any imperfections that cannot be avoided – and lay it over the Wellington. Crack an egg in a small bowl, beat with a fork, and paint egg wash lightly over the pastry. Put the Wellington on a baking tray and pop it in the middle of the oven. Cook for 45 minutes. When you take it out the pastry should be a light golden brown and the meat cooked to succulent perfection. Trust me.
Comforting Supper for Four
Syrian Melted Cheese and Spinach Frittata
Fresh Tomato, Red Onion and Basil Salad
So, we all have bad days: bad as in exhausting, bad as in frustrating, bad as in when it's just so very damned cold – and I don't mean cold in a cheery, 'tiddly-pom' kind of a way. Days when the only thing that will get you through with a hint of a smile is the heart-warming prospect of a big old plate of something that in some way or another resembles nursery food. And a good old grumble to very patient friends. On days like that, frankly, the proverbial cup of tea is not even nearly good enough.
This frittata hails from the troubled lands of the Middle East, but feels as familiar as macaroni and cheese. It's generous for four people, but always best to allow for seconds (and thirds), when comfort-eating. I like it with a fresh tomato salad: it's a doddle to make, adds a little colour to the plate and takes us all one step closer to our five fruit and veg a day. But a green salad, potato salad, lentil salad or no salad at all – just the cheesy frittata on its own – work just as well. If you've had a bad day, you don't need anyone nagging you to eat salad.
And the plum syllabub is basically a bowl of cream with a touch of stewed plums and a swig of brandy – what could be more comforting than that?
All of the above can be eaten with a spoon, if you like – I find eating with a spoon indulgently comforting – and offers genuine solace from the hectic world that is our daily existence. Think the kind of menu for a jeans-and-Ugg-boot night. With beloved friends – the kind of friends who won't judge you for wearing Ugg boots. And a good bottle of wine.
Heave a sigh of relief: the bad part of your day ends here.
Seasonal Ingredient: Chestnuts
Growing up, I couldn't bear chestnuts. One of those irrational dislikes that children have: I had never actually tasted one, of course. More of a dislike of chestnuts on principle; which, when you are eight years old, seems like an utterly reasonable position to take. Then one autumn, our school held a 'Castagnata' – a traditional Italian festival that, literally, celebrates the chestnut. Games. Songs. Autumnal decorations. Open fires for roasting. The whole chestnut shebang. Peer pressure got the better of me: I tried one. And then another. And then another still. Sweet. Yet not too sweet. Nutty in flavor but not in texture – at that stage, I had an embargo on nuts too. In texture, they are crumbly, waxy, rich – like biting into a slab of homemade fudge. The good old-fashioned kind, rather than the processed Cadburys kind. Game over. My prejudices vanished; never to be seen or heard from again.
With the wisdom of age on my side, chestnuts have become one of my all-time favorite ingredients. Their versatility means that they work equally well in savoury and sweet dishes, adding a little oomph and sophistication to even the most mundane of brussel sprouts, say. Chocolate and chestnut cake; Mont Blanc; chestnut and bacon stuffing; chestnut soup; marrons glacées; plain old chestnuts roasted in the oven. All sublime. All homely. All tasty. All deeply nostalgic of the days when school chestnut festivals were the highlight of my social calendar. And all very much in season now:
1. Winter wouldn't be winter without a castagnaccio. I love this one with pine nuts and raisins.
2. Sausage, Sage and Chestnut Stuffing: need I say more?
3. This chocolate chestnut meringue pie is literally to die for.
4. It's always useful to know how to roast the perfect chestnut.
5. This is why chestnuts are good for you.
6. When I saw this chocolate chestnut and amaretti cake I thought that I had died. And gone to Heaven.
7. I don't like brussel sprouts, but cooked with chestnuts and Fontina cheese, I am happy to concede that they look irresistible.
8. If that's a little decadent for your tastes, why not try a bean, tahini and chestnut salad? Not something that you're ever going to regret.
9. Or a creamy chestnut dressing for your salad?
10. And let us all take a moment to acknowledge the marron glacée king of the chestnut world.
Dark Chocolate, Pistachio and Banana Bread
Broadly I try to start the day on a good foot and on a full stomach. I try. This translates to a healthy breakfast. Variations on the themes of oats, fresh fruit, chia pudding, perhaps even some spelt toast with avocado. Where I can, I resist the urge to eat chocolate cake. At least until elevenses.
This banana bread helps me abide by that life philosophy. Its rough chunks of ever-so-slightly melted chocolate, and the indulgent flavour of ripe banana, humour the relentless demands of my sweet tooth. While the knowledge that it's made with a gluten free flour and contains not a jot of processed sugar allows me to go about my day, free from pangs of guilt. Win, win.
It takes no time at all to mix the ingredients together; before you can say 'chocolate cake', your home filled with the aroma of sweet banana. When done, the result is a dark and soft loaf peppered with decadent chunks of chocolate – please note chunks and not chips – and bright green pistachios, like tiny gems scattered in the rich earth of some far-flung exotic land.
I like to bake it on a Sunday morning – enjoy a few slices still piping hot from the oven; and then, slowly ration it out over the course of the week. Each morning, I slice off a hefty piece, toast it lightly, add a dollop of light crème fraiche or Greek yogurt, and a sprinkling of fresh pistachios.
My conscience is clean and my cravings are well taken care of. Makes for a great start to the day.
Dark Chocolate, Pistachio and Banana Bread
This recipe is adapted from Erin Mckenna's beautiful book 'Babycakes' which has a gluten-free and vegan recipe for every cake that you could possibly imagine. I added the pistachios and chunks of dark chocolate, as well as playing with the proportions a little. I used Bob's Red Mill gluten free all-purpose flour which is now available in most supermarkets, but any brand of gluten free flour should work well. The first time I made this recipe, I was baffled by the xanthum gum: this is a raising agent that helps give the gluten free flour the same light texture as normal flour. A few years ago it was only available from specialist shops, but now you can find it in the heath food section of most major supermarkets.
Serves: 12-14 generous slices
Prep Time: 15-20 mins; Baking Time: 40-45 mins
- 300g gluten free flour
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 2 tsps bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp xanthum gum
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 75g coconut oil
- 220ml agave nectar
- 150ml rice milk
- 3 ripe bananas
- 50g pistachios
- 75g extra dark chocolate
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees and line a loaf tin. Put the coconut oil in a saucepan and warm gently on the hob so that it melts. In a bowl mix together the dry ingredients and slowly stir in the melted coconut oil and the rice milk until the batter is smooth. Mash the bananas with a fork and fold them in to the cake batter. Roughly chop the pistachios and the chocolate and add them too. Fold until the ingredients are all evenly distributed. Pour the cake batter into the loaf tin and put in the middle of the oven. After 20 minutes rotate the cake by 180 degrees so that it cooks evenly all over. To check if the banana bread is ready, press gently on the top: if it bounces back, the loaf is cooked.
Chocolate Chestnut Meringue Pie
When it comes to this pie, I am like the cat that got the cream. All my favourite ingredients; all in one very decadent pie. A deep, velvety chocolate biscuit base – made with crushed bourbons and an extra dash of dark chocolate, for good measure; a creamy sweet chestnut purée filling with a hint of brandy; and a light, fluffy meringue topping – just ever so slightly caramelised.
The pie is effectively a twist on a Mont Blanc, that classic French dessert made from whipped cream, chestnut purée and chocolate. But bigger. And I want to say better, but I let you be the judge of that.
The meringue is barely cooked so it stays wonderfully soft, with a mere hint at a chewy crust where it has been browned, like marshmallow that has been roasted over an open fire.
The chestnut cream is the perfect complement to this frivolous topping: as earthy and grainy as the meringue is sweet and smooth. The hint of brandy syrup and the caramel flavour of the muscovado sugar linger tantalisingly in your mouth. Just willing you to take one more bite. Just one more.
Chestnuts are in season right now, so there lies the perfect excuse to make this pie. Or so I told myself, anyway. The recipe doesn't actually call for fresh chestnuts, but no matter. When a pie is this good, if one need clutch at straws to justify indulging, so be it. I am still able to sleep at night.
And the dreams of sweet chestnuts and dark chocolate biscuits? I am happy to write them off as an occupational hazard.
Chocolate Chestnut Meringue Pie
I have used Nigella Lawson's recipe for a chocolate biscuit pie base from her grasshopper pie in 'Kitchen'. I then added a creamy chestnut filling and a soft meringue topping. Sublime. I used a blowtorch to caramelise the topping, which proved a deeply satisfying experiment. Beware: as with fake tan, a little bit of blowtorch-ing goes a very long way. Stop before you think that you need to stop, or you will burn your pie to a cinder before you know it. If you don't have a blowtorch – and don't want to invest in one – you could easily put the pie under a very hot grill for five minutes or so, and achieve the same effect. It wouldn't be half as fun, but I'm sure that it would taste just as good.
Serves: 8-10
Prep Time: 30 minutes
- 75g dark chocolate
- 400g bourbon biscuits
- 75g soft butter
- 350g unsweetened chestnut puree
- 75g dark muscovado sugar
- 30ml double cream
- 1 tsp brandy
Meringue Topping
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 100g caster sugar
Chop the chocolate roughly and put it in the food processor with the bourbon biscuits. Blitz until they form a crumb mixture, the add the butter and blitz until the mix starts to clump together. Press evenly into a fluted pie dish with a removable bottom, and put in the fridge to harden. Then turn to your filling: spoon the chestnut puree into a mixing bowl, add the sugar and beat until the sugar has dissolved. Keep on beating and slowly pour in the cream and the brandy. Pause and taste. Yum. Pour the filling into the chilled biscuit case. And put the pie back in the fridge. Now for the meringue, place the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl and whip on a low speed (if you have an electric whisk) until they become frothy; add the cream of tartar and turn the speed up to medium-high. Beat until soft peaks begin to form, the gradually add the sugar and keep beating until firm peaks are formed. Dollop the meringue on to the pie, and spread it out so with the back of a spoon so that all of the pie filling is completely covered. Use the spoon to make small peaks in the meringue and caramelise lightly with a blowtorch, or put under a hot grill for five minutes until lightly browned. Chill until you are ready to serve.

Dear Teri,
It is my understanding that state employers have to pay the "family rate" even for single employees. As a state, we could save a great deal of money if we could purchase single policies for single employees. Why can't this be done? It would save about $400/single employee.
Claire Althoff
Thanks for writing! I contacted the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System. Here's what Executive Director Sparb Collins said:
"The state does not pay the "family rate" for single employees. The health insurance rate for state employees is a blended rate, which takes into account the number of employees that are single and the number of employees that are married.
"The single rate and family rates are averaged to have one rate for all employees. This method is more accurate for budgeting. If the traditional single/family method was used during budgeting, it would be necessary to estimate the number of family and single premiums for the budget period for each agency.
"(This) could result in overestimating the number of family premiums, which would over budget premiums for that agency or overestimating the number of single premiums, which could underfund the premiums for that agency."

A sister of convicted serial killer David Leonard Wood testified Tuesday that her brother misbehaved often but did not appear to be mentally retarded when they were growing up at home.
Wood, who was convicted in one murder in a case that cleared five others under the serial-killer statute, is arguing that he is mentally retarded and should not to be put to death.
Debbie Galvan, Wood's sister, also testified under cross-examination that she and her brother corresponded electronically about his defense case, as well as about news events that he followed closely.
He wrote her letters by hand with detailed instructions about legal documents he needed for his appeal.
In one of his letters to Galvan, Wood expressed concerns for his father's safety when he traveled to Mexico and about the state of the national economy.
Under questioning by a government lawyer, Galvan said she bought Wood magazine subscriptions while he was in prison but did not pay for a subscription he had for Seventeen magazine, prompting Wood to make an outburst.
"Are you (expletive) me? Is that the best they've got?" Wood exclaimed out loud while seated next to his lawyers. Seventeen is a fashion publication aimed at teenage girls.
Galvan said one of his pen pals probably got him that magazine. She also said Wood taught himself to play the guitar and drums and played Christian rock music when he was a teenager.
"I didn't feel like he had a lot of common sense," Galvan said. "He was very immature. He didn't seem to easily learn from his mistakes."
In response to whether she thought Wood was mentally retarded, Galvan responded "no."
She testified that her brother was on Ritalin (a drug prescribed for attention-deficit disorder) for a while but stopped taking it.
In 1992, a Dallas jury convicted Wood, 54, of the slaying of Ivy Susanna Williams, but the state used the serial-killer law for five other slayings of teenage girls and young women whose bodies were found buried in the Northeast El Paso desert. He was sentenced to death.
The victims were Williams, Angelica Frausto, Dawn Smith, Karen Baker, and Desiree Wheatley, all residents of El Paso, and Rosa Maria Casio of Juárez. Wood denied killing anyone.
Wood is having a hearing this week to attempt to prove that he is mentally retarded.
After the hearing, the presiding judge will submit his findings and recommendations to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. The high court stayed Wood's execution two years ago to give his lawyers time to prepare his case.
The state plans to present its witnesses at the hearing, which continues today.
Coletta DeArmen, 86, a retired schoolteacher and one of the three defense witnesses who testified Tuesday, said she had Wood in her fourth-grade class at Dolphin Terrace Elementary in 1968-69.
"I had him sit right by my desk," DeArmen said. "I wanted to give him the individual attention that he needed and that no one else wanted to give him."
Wood received letter grades of C's and D's in her class and was promoted to the fifth grade.
DeArmen said Wood attended her class before the Ysleta Independent School District had special education programs and before students were diagnosed with learning disabilities, such as attention-deficit disorder and dyslexia.
Keith Springer, 50, a childhood friend of Wood's, testified that as a teenager, Wood could not tell time because he could not read the clock in his bedroom. He also said that Wood was bullied frequently by other kids in the neighborhood and that he had trouble interacting with youngsters his age or older.
"He wasn't very outgoing," Springer testified. "He wasn't able to make friends with people on his own. Someone had to go with him. He could not read clocks."
Marcia Fulton, Desiree Wheatley's mother, attended Tuesday's hearing.
"I want justice for Desiree," Fulton said.
Wood's lawyers also filed new motions seeking additional DNA testing for items that the state is holding as evidence. Wood is seeking to prove that he did not kill the victims, all of whom were killed in 1987.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2002 in Atkins v. Virginia that executing a mentally retarded person constitutes cruel and unjust punishment in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
The Texas Health and Safety Code states that " 'Mental retardation' means significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning that is concurrent with deficits in adaptive behavior and originates during the developmental period."
It also states that a doctor or state-certified psychologist can determine whether someone is mentally retarded.
The threshold for mental retardation includes an IQ test score of 70, plus or minus a few points, below-average intellectual function, and deficiencies in adaptive behavior.
Wood must prove his mental deficiency existed before the age of 18, and that is why his lawyers requested school records from his youth and mental-health records of his biological mother.
In its spring 2009 issue, the Tennessee Law Review published an analysis on mental retardation claims since the 2002 Atkins ruling and found that "nearly 40 percent of all defendants who allege mental retardation have, in fact, proved it."

- Filed Under
Yesterday, senators passed two bills that will offer more protection and justice to the victims of child sexual abuse.
Bill 33 would eliminate the statute of limitations on child sexual abuse. Bill 34 would open a two-year window in which the survivors of child sex abuse could file civil claims against the perpetrators, even if the statute of limitations has passed.
Vice Speaker Benjamin Cruz said the bills were needed because the system was flawed; it made those who committed sexual abuse -- not the victims of abuse -- the priority.
Cruz noted that for most survivors of child sexual abuse, it takes many years before they are able to come forward with what happened to them. For many, that means the statute of limitations on the crime has expired and they are left without legal recourse.
Marci A. Hamilton specializes in church-state relations and constitutional law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University. She submitted written testimony on Bill 34 that states it's "a sunshine law for children" that would better protect Guam's children.
"It would also bring delayed, but still welcome, justice to these victims," Hamilton wrote.
Unfortunately, senators watered down the language in Bill 34. Before voting on the measure, they removed a provision that would have allowed victims of child sexual abuse to also file civil actions against institutions found to be grossly negligent.
The removal of that language limits the ability of those who were sexually abused as children. All people and institutions who failed in their duty to adequately protect these children should be accountable for that failure. It shouldn't matter it was a school, day care or church -- if an institution was grossly negligent and by that negligence allowed a child to be abused sexually, it should be held responsible.
The passage of Bills 33 and 34 will give more protection and justice to the victims of child sex abuse. But not as much as they could have. Senators should amend Bill 34 to replace the removed language regarding institutions found to be grossly negligent.

You've written a book and you want to get it published, but either your efforts to get it published in the traditional way have come to nothing or you want to try out an alternative. It's a story that's familiar to many of us in the world of independent publishing. Another story we hear a lot is that people are wary of self-publishing and reluctant to give it a go.
While there are serious things to consider and evaluations to be made before you decide to go ahead with publishing your book on your own, there are also plenty of good reasons to give it a go. Here are seven reasons to take a chance on self-publishing your book.
Control what you do
One of the best reasons to go into independent publishing is the sheer amount of control you get over what you do. You can control it all, from deciding what to write and how long you want your book to be, to choosing covers, getting the work edited and actually publishing it.
Admittedly, all of this can seem daunting to a newbie, but there is a growing range of support for independent authors and often the thrill of getting to write exactly what you want is more than enough to give people the push they need to self-publish.
Set your own pricing structure
This is a pretty practical point, but the flexibility in pricing your book is another good reason to consider independent publishing. Essentially, you get to choose the price, which means you have the scope to set the price for your book lower than it would be if it was published traditionally. In turn, this means that it might well be easier for you to interest readers to purchase your novel, because 99p is a price that's much more manageable than £9.99, particularly when you're asking readers to take a chance on a new author.
If you take a look at some self-published authors on Amazon, you sometimes find that they price their first book at 99p and then raise the price slightly for subsequent books. This can be a good way of hooking people and offering good value while still being realistic about your business.
It's a growing industry
Independent publishing is a growing field as more and more people – and more and more quality authors – start to tap into it. So, if you believe in your book and want to see it published, this is a great time to start getting involved in this growing industry.
Get valuable feedback and develop your work
Another reason to consider self-publishing is that it offers you a good chance to get valuable feedback on your work, which you can then use to develop and improve your subsequent writing. Arguably, this is easier to do when you're operating on your own rather than being answerable to a publisher, because there'll be less pressure for you to succeed with your first book as you're much less likely to have someone else's investment riding on it.
Naturally, we all put pressure on ourselves and want to do well straight away, but it helps to accept that writing is a continually evolving process, and sometimes a little constructive feedback from readers (learning on the job, in other words) is just what we need to take things to the next level.
Learn about the business
Getting into independent publishing is also a fantastic way to learn more about the publishing business from the inside. By publishing my own books, I've been involved in processes I previously knew very little or even nothing about. For example, editing your book, getting it formatted ready for publication, sorting out how you want to publish it and where, and the marketing procedures you'll need are things you'll be able to learn more about.
Even if you then decide to move away from your writing and do something else, these are all valuable skills you'll be able to use elsewhere, so it's definitely a really good learning exercise.
You don't know how well you might do
Also, think about it. You might be sceptical of independent publishing because you're worried your book will bomb, but this is a worry that all authors have, no matter how they're published. You could just as easily bomb if you were published traditionally.
You never know how well you'll do unless you try it, and there is a growing list of self-publishing success stories. Play your cards right and write as well as you can, and you could end up being one of them.
It's really fun
Finally, independent publishing is really fun. You get to meet great people, work in new areas and watch as your book starts to sell for the first time. There's no feeling quite like it, and the knowledge that you've done it all yourself makes it all the more worthwhile.

DENVER - New research links headphones to a huge spike in pedestrian deaths. The data, from the University of Maryland, says in the past six years, serious injuries to pedestrians listening to headphones has more than tripled.
While walking with headphones on isn't illegal, it's a different story for drivers.
9NEWS found plenty of drivers in Denver driving around with earphones on.
"We believe it to be a serious offense," Colorado State Patrol Trooper Nate Reid said.
According to a Colorado statute, drivers in Colorado cannot have both ears covered with headphones or ear buds, regardless of whether drivers are listening to music or on the phone.
"We want one to be open so you can hear alarms, whether it be from emergency equipment or from a train," Reid said.
Technology has created more devices to use headphones and it has also made the headphones better.
"The headphones have come so far, they have noise cancelling headphones," Reid said.
Another concern for law enforcement is pedestrians wearing headphones.
According to new research from the University of Maryland, 70 percent of headphone-wearing pedestrians died after being hit by cars or trains.
Just two months ago, 21-year-old Laura Triem was hit by a light rail train in Denver leaving her critically injured. Her mom says she had her earphones on and only looked one way.
Triem not only survived the light rail accident, but continues to defy the odds in her recovery. Recently, she was released from Denver Health Medical Center and is in a recovery facility going through rehabilitation. This week, she was able to stand up on her own for the first time. Her family considers every day a miracle. The medical costs are significant, so friends of the family are hosting a silent auction on Saturday, Feb. 4. You can participate and help by going to http://supportinglauratriem.weebly.com/index.html.
Law enforcement officers say it's best to be hands free and ears free for pedestrians and drivers.
"With two ear buds, if you can't hear something, that's going to keep you concentrated on that one singular thing, whether that be a song or somebody talking to you on the phone," Reid said.
The citation for driving with headphones on is $22, but if police observe a driver being reckless or careless because they're distracted, those fines and penalties are much worse.
If you would like to take the 9NEWS Great Hang Up Pledge to help stop distracted driving, download the pledge form.
If you have a story about distracted driving you would like to share with us, or if your company or office has decided to sign the pledge as a team, email 9NEWS Anchor/Reporter Eric Kahnert at email@example.com.

BETSY LAYNE, Ky. (WYMT) - Betsy Layne will be making its fifth appearance in the WYMT Whayne Supply Mountain Basketball Classic this season.
The No. 9 Bobcats will be looking for their first win ever in the Classic, as they currently stand at 0-7 all-time, and with their opening game being against the defending champion Knott Central Patriots, they know getting their first win will be extremely tough.
"As for the first win, it seems like we draw the toughest team in it every year, and no exception this year with Knott County Central being rated No. 1," says Bobcat head coach Junior Newsome. "That's why we get in these tournaments. That's why we play these games, to get better. You know, we've got a young team and we seem to be getting a little better with each game now, and hopefully this year we can get that first win over there, and certainly that would mean a lot to the kids."

So, here we are with another edition of what annoys the you know what out of you! For example, when you are at the drive-through and they take your order and you are just so sure they got it right and you're looking forward to that big juicy cheeseburger with NO cheese. Then, excited you get home, turn on your favorite program only to find out, you've got cheese stuck to your meat! The nerve! Do they have to go to Hamburger school to work there? Was it that hard?? So, you have a choice, scrape the cheese,( that would eventually cause you to be in the bathroom all night, ) off or drive your not so happy butt back to the burger joint. Hmmmm, what to do, what to do…
And, of course, there is the ever so great waiting in line at the grocery store for that person to figure out that you have to hit enter on the credit card machine for it to process…hmmm. That was a toughie! You'd think if they could figure out how to apply for the credit card, they'd at least know how to use it, am I right or am I right?
Let's not forget about the red lights and green lights and yellow lights… They're all up in plain view for a reason folks! So, put your lip liner down, stop trying to discipline your kids from the front seat, and for God's sake keep your eyes off the middle-aged construction worker that probably has 10 kids and 3 girlfriends, okay? Just a few more thoughts on real life….

Selena Gomez Gives Sneak Peek at Spring Collection for Adidas NEO
Spring isn't here yet, but thanks to Selena Gomez, it's coming sooner than later.
On Tuesday, the "Slow Down" singer took to YouTube to reveal that the Spring 2014 collection of her line for Adidas NEO will be released on February 12 … but before then, she's giving some hints at what the clothes will look like.
For the next week, "we will release a super exclusive sneak peek video of my new collection shot by me just for you," Selena explains in the first video. But to see them, fans have to follow both Selena and NEO's Twitter feeds.
"It's so much fun to break the rules by sharing my favorite new looks before the collection is launched," adds Selena. "It's cool to be able to share my inspiration and talk through the design process for my fans. I hope everyone enjoys finding the films!"
Last summer, Selena launched her first line with NEO, which featured 53 rocker-esque pieces, including studded wedge sneakers, denim vest with an embellished collar, studded jean shorts, and even a neon green clutch.

Grains rebound in early Wednesday trading
Though analysts warn the factors that slammed the grains Tuesday are still lingering in view, the CME Group grains are bouncing back so far in Wednesday's trade.
In early trading, December 2010 corn is 5 1/2 cents higher at $5.32 per bushel, while January soybeans are 8 3/4 cents higher at $12.28, according to Barchart.com. December wheat is the strongest contract so far Wednesday, trading 13 1/4 cents higher to $6.39 1/2 per bushel.
Though prices are stronger Wednesday, gains will likely be limited by ongoing worries about changes in China's monetary policy, the main driver behind the losses in the last 4 trading days, according to a report from Dow Jones Newswires.

The 10 biggest complaints men have about women.
by Wes McKane
posted Jul 2 2012 7:00AM
The website eHarmony.com just released a list of the 10 biggest complaints men have about women. Since it was probably compiled by some really jaded dude who writes for them, you may or may not agree . . . but here's their list:
#1.) Women see men as projects they can fix.
#2.) Hollywood has given women unrealistic expectations about romance.
#3.) Women are always looking down the road for the next step . . . like "What are we?" or "Are we exclusive yet?" or "Are we going to get married?"
#4.) Women use emotions as a weapon.
#5.) Women have a tendency to be critical.
#6.) Women like to play coy.
#7.) Women fixate on trying to figure out what men are thinking, instead of watching what men are doing.
#8.) Women don't understand or like men's desire for alone time.
#9.) Women have a complex set of double standards.
#10.) Women want men to change . . . then lose respect when they do.

The 10 biggest complaints men have about women.
Please Enter Your Comments Below
The list is BULLSHIT
Here's the REAL list specifically toward women physically attractive enough to be wanted. Your list is mostly stuff after the relationship begins. This is an American list. 1. No matter how much money the guy makes its never enough 2. From birth they are falsely programed as to the minimum they are entitled to by big corporations. Big corporations want people to be single they spend more money that way. This one alone deserves its own sub top 10 list. 3. Women get advice from their friends when analyzing goings on in the relationship and then relay what was said to the man with "my friend Mary says" 4. They lie and deny all the time and when confronted they RARELY admit this, yet when were pulling out the hide-abed. 5. Put to much stock in what their parents think about us. 6. Use sex as a weapon. 7. Send "signals" only the NSA can decode or even detect. 8. Uses his financial income and quality and quantity of his material possessions as a deciding factor if she will give him a shot. 9. Women don't date a lot of men they expect to find the perfect man thru careful investigation of whats on "paper" 10. OVERVALUE THEIR VAGINAS!!!!

Synchronizing files with Rsync
Rsync lets you synchronize your data – on either a local or remote computer. You can even use Rsync with SSH to encrypt your data.
Rsync keeps your data up to date and helps you stay on top of confusing version changes. The Rsync synchronization tool gives you op tions that help you manage file proper ties; Rsync works well with SSH, and it is perfect for quickly transferring large volumes of data if the target computer already has a copy of a previous version. Rsync checks for differences between the source and target versions of the data and only transfers the data that has changed. In Sync Rsync compares the data on two ma chines. The generic syntax for this is rsync [options] source target. The choice of source and target is critical. Decide carefully in which direction you will be synchronizing to avoid loss of data. The box labeled "Data Unison" discusses an alternative to this one way street based on the Unison tool, which can sync in both directions.

The expenses forecast is an estimate of your ongoing operating expenses (overheads, outgoings, fixed costs) for the year. It answers the question of how much it will cost to run your business. The selling price of your products or services must include an amount to recover these expenses.
The expenses forecast will include the list of expenses developed for your profit and loss statement. Some typical business expenses include:
If you are already in business, use the accounting records for expenses from previous years as a guide and make adjustments to reflect increases in price or changes to your business strategy. For example, you might be planning for growth in the next year so include additional costs for extra employees or more plant and equipment.
If you are starting a new business and don't have a trading history, base your expenses forecast on research and benchmarks of similar businesses. You can obtain some of your estimates simply by calling a supplier and asking for a quote. For others, you will have to make a management decision about how much you will need to spend on that category.

* As Boss and co. close in on Sun Fac, he gets in his star fighter, begins to take off and seemingly out of sheer spite, instead of just making a run for it, he decides it would be fun to hover around and take a few potshots at Delta Squad with his ship's laser cannon. However, just in the nick of time, Sev shoots down the starfighter [[SnipingTheCockpit with his sniper rifle]].
