About Me
I've been making pictures since the early 1980's (yea, the dinosaur film days) and after living in France, Belgium, Germany and Israel for many years and working in many very varied jobs, I opened a photo studio in Cologne, Germany in 2007. I used the studio for my own projects and also rented it out to other photographers and TV production companies.
Work wise those years with the studio were some of the happiest years of my life. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, I had to close the studio in 2011 and decided to move back to Eilat in late 2012.
I took up a job in the tourism industry as a tour operator / guide but after this summer's "Tzuk Eitan" military operation and the resulting downturn in the number of incoming tourists, I decided to return to my old love: photography.
I still own most of my studio equipment and don't really know yet if this is going to be full-time or part-time, if I want to re-open a studio or if I want to do something else in photography...
So, if you're a photographer, MUA, hair-stylist, creative director or model and have some ideas relating to photography, a project you're thinking about putting together, a portfolio you want to refresh or if you just feel like talking photography, let's get together :-)

"It is not accidental," Friesen-hahn said. "It is a suspicious fire. There was forced entry. One window was broken." The fire started in three different places in the restaurant, Friesenhahn said.

New high school might be in Bexar By DENISI DZIUK KNIGHT Staff Writer A site selection committee looking for land for a proposed new high school in Comal Independent School District is eyeing four possible sites, and most are in Bexar County. Voters in the Comal Independent School District will decide the fate of a $92.185 million bond issue, which calls for a new high school and two new elementary schools. The board last month approved forming committees to look for possible sites for the new schools. CISD Superintendent Jerry Major said the administration gave the committees areas in which to begin looking for land. Trustees considered current population, as well as growth trends for certain parts of the county. "We designated those general areas as where we think a school would best serve the district," said Major. "There's a lot of land within those areas.

Biggers, assistant general manager for technical operations, said the EAA board made the right decision when it decided to keep all pumping limits for all municipal, industrial and irrigation water users in the aquifer region to a total of 450,000 ac re-feet per year. An acre-foot equals 325,851 gallons. "We are in favor of the 450,000 acre-feet being adhered to because we are not only concerned with our drinking water availability, but we are also concerned with Comal Springs and the endangered species," Biggers said. The Sierra Chih sued the EAA and water users in federal court asking that pumping limits be implemented to save the endangered species that live in Comal Springs. U.S. District Court Judge Lucius Bunton agreed with the Sierra Club. As a result, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 1477, which set the 450,000 acre-feet per year limit in 1993. EAA board member Carol Patterson tried to pass a motion that would not have set pumping limits until more data on the aquifer was gathered by EAA staff. Since Patterson's motion was not part of an agenda item, Chairman Michael Beldon said her motion could be discussed at die board's next meeting on Thursday, Oct. 30. Biggers, who attended the meeting at the San Antonio City Council chambers, said for now the pumping limits should remain at 450,000 ac re-feet "In the immediate future there TumtoNBU, Page3A Got ready for Halloween without breaking the bank — Page 7 A ;

The truth is, La Fortuna is so beautiful, it's hard to imagine a bad hotel/resort. That said, having only stayed at Arenal Kioro, I can only say that I can't imagine a place more beautiful. Our room literally was overlooking the volcano. It was extremely clean and the hotel staff was truly, TRULY, the nicest I have ever known.
This is not a corporate hotel...It is owned by one gentleman who lives on the premises. This hotel is more of a retreat. It is very relaxing, peaceful and I want to go back NOW!
There is a natural hot springs on premises which is nice because most of the hot springs in the area are public. This one is only available to guests of the resort.
We also had one of the best massages ever there. The sounds of nature were wonderful and unlike being at home, as my wife points out, no CD's or "nature" music was needed.
Breakfast selection was a bit weak but the Chef at the resort is brilliant. We got lunch and dinner and everything they cooked was amazing.
We went on two excursions but the BEST was at Proyecto Asis. This is not something that the hotels promote a lot but thanks to Trip Advisor, we found it. They say if you volunteer you get to interact with animals. Volunteering consisted of cutting vegetables and fruit for 5 minutes. It is nothing with nothing and totally worth it. We got to play with monkeys and parrots. Our guide was also fantastic. www.volunteeringcostarica.com is their site.
I can't say enough great things about this hotel and the area. Absolutely loved it.
BRING deep woods BUG SPRAY and ponchos. It rains A LOT and I think there are more mosquito's than people in Costa Rica!!!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Arenal Kioro offers a fabulous place with a natural viewpoint to the Arenal Volcano. The hotel has 27 acres of undulating land, surrounded by two streams (La Palma and Kioro) with crystalline waters that begin to flow in the Arenal Volcano National Park. It has two paths where plant species are identified. Besides, private thermal springs for our customer's delight. All our suites have:Two terraces with the best panoramic volcano and mountain view, hydro-massage, air conditioning, safe deposit box, minibar, coffee maker, hot water, direct dialing telephone, satellite television, hair dryer, key card, safety locks, internet connections. ... more less

An improved diet for inland broodstock and the establishment of an inbred line from Botryllus schlosseri, a colonial sea squirt (Ascidiacea)
National Institute of Oceanography, Israel Oceanographic & Limnological Research, Tel Shikmona, P.O. Box 8030, Haifa 31000, Israel
Accepted: 15 April 1998
Improved inland culturing methods for marine invertebrates are the most important prerequisite for the establishment of inbred lines. Here, we study the effects of improved diet on growth rates, survivorship and reproductive activities of the colonial urochordate Botryllus schlosseri, an important model species in a variety of scientific disciplines. Six long-term experiments (6−8 weeks each; 3−8 treatments per experiment) were conducted in an attempt to evaluate 10 different food types alone and in various combinations. We took a hierarchical approach in which some food types were contrasted and the results were used to design the next experimental set with new food types. A mixture of at least two types of diets was superior to any monotonous diet examined. Results were also characterized by high variability between colonies of the same hatch in any studied life history aspect, by the appearance of reproductive sterile colonies in the cultures, high survivorship, fast growing and long-lived colonies. The improved maintenance protocols enabled us to develop the first long-lived (> 6.5 years) inbred line of Botryllus with four successive generations of self-crossed pedigree animals.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
This customer is not telling the whole story . . .
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, January 13, 2015POSTED: Tuesday, January 13, 2015
I'm a former employee of this company and I very vividly remember this customer. She's not exactly being truthful and there's much more to her story than she would like people to know. I remember her as being incredibly demanding of our time, having us come out to her home on multiple ocassions for hours at a time while she agonized over every minute detail, changing her mind many times before finally ordering a single set of drapes. All because she did not want to order on-line with us like 99.9% of our customers all over the world did. We accommodated her every step of the way, even agreeing to accept 50% of the order amount when it wsa our policy to receive payment in full on all custom orders. It was clearly stated on the order she signed off on that the remaining balance was due upon receipt - NOT "sometime in the future after she's hung the draperies and decided she would pay or not". We never left custom draperies in anyone's posession without having received payment in full and it is simply not standard practice to do such a thing. When it came time to deliver her drapes, she refused to pay for them C.O.D. and refused to pay for the delivery cost. She was given many opportunities to pay the remaining balance and receive her drapes but she flat out refused. It was very strange. We lost money on her order because the cost of fulfillment was much higher than the deposit she paid and they were an odd style that we couldn't easily re-sell to the general public. It's too bad that she wouldn't honor the terms of service she agreed to.

#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Old Dream Drapes Out of Business -- We are the New Owners!
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 25, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, March 25, 2014
This person's complaint is against the prior owners of Dream Drapes. We, the currnet owners, recently purchased the website name from them. The name of the website (www.dreamdrapes.com) is the ONLY thing we have in common with the old business. We completely agree that this customer should be very upset about being ripped off, and it is our belief that situations like this is why the old company is now out of business.
The previous owners (and business) were located in Atlanta, GA. Dream Drapes is now a completely different business and ownership than the one discussed in this Rip Off Report. We are located in Connecticut, and we have no affiliation with the prior owners and business.

While friends were commenting on his last Facebook post Friday — and some were reading text messages indicating his plan to commit suicide by cop — Trepierre Hummons called 911 then waited with a gun for police to arrive, Cincinnati police said.
When they did, he and shot and killed 48-year-old Officer Sonny Kim, a husband and father of three, police said.
Then he opened fire on two more officers, said Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffery Blackwell.
The police, while armed, didn't know what they'd walked into. That's because when when the 21-year-old Hummons called the emergency operator, he didn't hint at his plan.
Instead he pretended to be a concerned witness who'd seen a man acting erratically with a gun, according to 911 and dispatch tapes released by police.
"He's walking around getting belligerent with a gun," Hummons told the operator. Then he gave a description of himself in a shaky voice. "Very early 20s … about like 5 (foot) 6 … he's a little thick fellow."
'Shots fired!'
The operator took down his name and number. Hummons thanked her. She ended the call and dispatched an officer.
Hummons dialed 911 again to make sure police were on their way, and he repeated his location. Moments later, the dispatcher repeated to an officer the description of the irate man with the gun.
"Copy, I'm in the area," the officer answered her before bursting into shouts: "Shots fired! Shots fired!"

|This is a discussion on Bluffing in the micros within the online poker forums, in the Cash Games section; I moved up from 5NL to 10NL, then from 10NL to 16NL, now i have moved back down to 10NL (i change stakes when i
Bluffing in the micros
I moved up from 5NL to 10NL, then from 10NL to 16NL, now i have moved back down to 10NL (i change stakes when i reach 20bi of next level) and my main worry is bluffing in the micros.
What are people's main strategies when bluffing in the micros, is it just cbet give up, or what?
I have no HUD but do take some notes and i play 4 tables at a time and sometimes i triple barrell and lose half my stack, but other times i can double barrell and make my opponent fold, so what is a good general guidline?
As raiser and 3bet raiser.
Thank you
I'm not opposing Zin's statement because he's right. ABC will get the job done and out right bluffing is not necessary in micro stakes very often but ABC is highly exploitable and you'll lose a good amount of blinds and 3 bets.
If you're taking notes you don't have time to 4 table. You're better off with memory strengthening on your off time if you're against a hud.
Believe it or not though huds are great. They don't help you cheat or anything. They just take a bit of the load off.
If you're going to multi table I'd definitely recommend getting one.
I use low stakes HoldEm Manager 2.
Why? Because he saw me bust out two guys within an hour hitting sets on the flop holding low pocket pairs and check betting.
I don't condone that kind of play, but sometimes it's not only possible, but necessary.
Yeah, at micros, only look to bluff the Ok regs. But overall good bluffs take a lot of skill. You have to understand the temperament of your opponent, and make sure you know their hand well enough, and the story you're telling makes sense ON TOP of having a well balanced image yourself. It's a lot of things to do well in order to have a successful bluff.
But saying you should never bluff is not correct. At micros though it should be very limited.
I bluff every now and again. Most of the time it's just a C-bet then give up, sometimes I'll barrel the turn if I pick up equity (a flush draw, a straight draw, etc.) and sometimes (uncommon) I'll even bluff rivers if I miss my draw, my opponent shows weakness, I have approximately a pot-sized bet left, I have no showdown value and the river is a scare card.
For the most part, though, I agree that bluffing should be used sparingly at the micros. The majority of your bets should be for pure value.
You have to realise that if you raised or 3 bet pre flop its ok to slowdown sometimes. Its not mandatory for you to Cbet if you think its not going to be profitable, + you are giving yourself a free street so you can fire 2x instead of 3x with the 3rd bet probably being all in.
Guideline for bluffing ? I guess there is none except dont bluff at the micros. Semi-bluffing and double barrelling with a semi-bluff is ok sometimes, cause you have decent equity + fold equity but other than that it just not going to make you money. When you double barrell and the opponent calls you have to know he has something and then its on you to determine what hands he could have that would call the turn fold the river with the given board texture. Knowing when not to bluff is going to be profitable as well.
Personally, I try to avoid bluffing turns and rivers unless I am very sure I can get a fold. Almost always at the micro level you will get a call. Nothing wrong with a standard cbet on the flop if you have the betting lead and especially if you have a hand that can increase equity (flush draw etc). But shut it down after that...money not spent is money won. :-)
There are times that even a three -barrel bluff is a good move, but this is very relative. I think cbet flop without many draws work very well
The fact is that the micros are many players that are calling -stations , and we have to learn to exploit them in the best way
Also, if you're at a foldie table, sometimes hit it from UTG with ATC: you just might pick up the blinds. I don't make a habit of it, but do it enough to keep 'em guessing.
Most of these players are so clueless they never catch on. Also, know who the stations are and never bluff at them. Take 'em to Value Town instead.
Multi-way I'm giving up c-betting without strong equity like pair + gs, bottom/middle pair IP vs blinds on a dryish board, OESDs, FDs, 2 overs + BDFD/BDSD. Heads-up I'm c-betting boards that miss our opponent's perceived range and pretty much giving up if I don't pick up equity on the turn. Heads-up you should be c-betting a decent amount of boards, something like 60%+.
I advise against double barreling without strong equity on the turn in general at the micros. Something like two overs + gs, pair + FD, one over + FD is good. IP I would check behind if the board is too draw heavy/connected and I don't expect a lot of fold equity. People do not like folding at the micros, and they will chase their FDs/OESDs and get sticky with former TPNKs, underpairs to high cards, or "put you on AK" lol.
I also don't think triple barreling is really ever a good idea at the micros. I play readless on Bovada, and I've only pulled off one triple barrel all-in in the past 20 or so sessions at 25/50/100NL. People get too sticky with their hands, and I've seen people hero call me with bottom pair, 2nd pair, underpairs, and junk OTR. A lot of times they just don't want to believe you. You also have to be very good at hand reading, and understand capped/uncapped ranges.
Triple barrel bluffs are not something you should be planning. Generally they go along something like a standard c-bet on the flop with air/BD draws, a double barrel on the turn when we pick up equity, and the third barrel when we miss and our range is uncapped while villain has a super capped range OTR (also helps if a scare card comes OTR too). Don't get me wrong though; triple barrel bluffing with 10 high and getting your opponent to fold the best hand is a great feeling .
re: Poker & Bluffing in the micros
ABC poker is basically just textbook, tight play. No fancy play syndrome, and basically value bet more and bluffing way less. Lots of players spew at the micros against people who will not fold and hurt their winrate by bluffing too much. And just because your opponent is weak does not mean that they will not try to hero call or station you all the way down with bottom/2nd/3rd/4th pair. Best advice at micros is value bet more and bluff less. Still holds very true at 100NL for me.
Bluffing, the word implies someone is making a play, a possible mistake for a pot they are not entitled too. Then in the back of the person's brain is thought of doing something wrong and they will give their explanation of why this did not work for an example of a failure. There has to be an exact explanation of why?
Understanding how to value bet every situation from +ev hands that play themselves to marginal hands with thin value bets from understanding the opponent(s). This line of play when understanding your opponent(s), this is the non-centralized part of their game to get value when they do not have us beat, to exploit, comfortability from not worrying about being beat and getting the proper amount of value.
When a person then understands the other side of the coin, the centralized spots in their game, where the opponent is getting value from us, how they are playing their hands, how do they play draws, getting as much counter information to analyze. When a person understands where an opponent is getting value and where are they willing to put in as many bets, where is the line, where they start backing off the + value line? This is important because when a player see's weakness in their opponent exploiting this information now becomes to your opponent a negative ev situation in their mind from their own choosing because of the + value line becoming clouded from not being comfortable in certain situations as an example. Created is the same comfortability that simulates us having a hand, and our opponent again will tell themselves to fold as an example. I am never bluffing but sometimes I get caught from a miss-read.
Centralized spots in their game when they are comfortable, non-centralized parts of their game where they are uncomfortable. Variables, are they board readers, do they adhere to board texture when they are weak but do not when they are strong? Do they understand scare cards? Do they react to scare cards? Are they reactive to my play? Are they reactive to my bet sizes? Perceived betting patterns from betting routines, do they understand a change of sequence form changing up streets of betting as an example? These scenario's and many others help understand your opponent's centralized and non-centralized parts of their game to exploit, and to stay away from as some examples.
Bluffing for me needs to be fluid as a part of my game, when I use this depends on what I am reading and not something I just decide to do. I understand what the perceived move is going to be without the need of telling myself I need to bluff because bluffing is not a human reaction it is part of who the poker player is in any given moment. Mistakes are going too made even as simple as making c-bet at the wrong time.
Understanding my image is relative to what my perceived value betting image, bluffing image, which my opponents will perceive in my play, both images in my game, for my opponent will be fluid in their mind, and then understanding what will trigger my opponent to choose what they perceive is the right play.
For example, whether they are strong or weak players certain lines of play will make themselves be known, they will react, because most will react the first time in situations, instead of acting on them the first time because the problem is abstract the first time in non-centralized parts of their game. When they make an action the second time a scenario presents itself from the prior initial reaction, now I have picked up a change in my opponent's play and thinking in the moment. They made a mistake to adjust, to act, from a reaction from a prior play.
One step behind my play has now been created from them willing to adjust the second time around instead of acting in the moment the first time they seen a certain scenario. The question now for me is did they make an adjustment that is still exploitable because of my experience in these situations? Or is my opponent making the proper adjustment that is above my skill level? How many levels can I think abstractly about them, about myself in these situations?
Bluffing and value betting is an abstract problem, how each person, opponent understands how to solve an abstract problem in the moment will depend how much skill they have in narrative theory, in the moment, when the pressure presents itself, and this includes myself. Practice helps to understand when I see this play out positive and negative in situations it just depends on how much I am willing to push certain lines of play in the moment. All of this is what I perceive about myself, my strengths, weaknesses, also about my opponent(s) game, their strengths and weaknesses that are unique to them. Glad to meet you and happy holiday's.
Thanks for answering my question MingANguyen! How is that pronounced btw?
I have another question about HUDs. For someone who aspires to eventually play live poker, tournaments and tables, wouldn't HUDs hurt in the long run? Doesn't it make more sense to develop intuition and memory in order to become a top level player rather than rely on the machine?
OTOH, when you're playing a tournament or live, you should be focused a hundred percent on a single table and your opponent. You are right about HUD hurting in that aspect (sample size issues), but the poker player should be aware of that aspect and adjust his mindset to what the game demands of him.
re: Poker & Bluffing in the micros
good luck
It's definitely worth the hassle when the real money comes out in live play. Practice and experimentation at the micros is also a helluvalot cheaper as well.
I opened for 3BB from early MP with pocket 5's. FoF_1 repops for 2.60 on the BTN. FoF_2 cold calls out of the SB. I knew these players, and both are the epitome of FoF. I call when it comes back to me since there's a good chance I can either stack off if I trip up, or take it away from them if I don't.
The flop comes down A, rag, rag -- 2 hearts. I check it. FoF_1 checks, and so does FoF_2. That's what I'm waiting for, and I know they have nothing. Black 6 rolls off on the turn, and I lead out for 5.50. Both instafold.
Later, pick up AhKd and open on the BTN. BB 3! and I call. FoF_1 who limped also calls. Flop comes all spades, and BB checks, FoF_1 checks, and I pot it with an ace high. Both fold. Lock up another 5.00.
That made up the lion's share of the profits, that and stealing the blinds. Never got to show down. It's unusual to have two situations come up in the same session where you can run a big bluff.
The micros are no different from the macros. It's all about knowing your players, their weaknesses, and exploiting them when the situation is right.

This is the conclusion of Fulcrum's Revenge. Just a friendly warning. There is more adult language and situations in this chapter then is my norm. Oh, I still don't own Chuck.
Distractions Can Get You Killed
- - - -
Carina and Casey struggled to get the bodies of the two Fulcrum agents into the car trunk. Casey was really hurting from the blow to the head and the several punches he had taken during the fight. Carina was obviously concerned.
"Casey", Carina asked Casey as he was vomiting behind the car. "Are you ok?"
"Does it look like I'm ok", Casey growled. "It doesn't really matter. We need to get going."
Carina opened the driver's door and climbed into the car.
Casey looked at Carina questioningly. "I can drive", he said.
"Casey", Carina snapped. "Just get in the car. Chuck and Sarah won't be able to last very long. We're late already."
"I'll be ok", Casey grunted. "I can drive."
"And you think that I can't", Carina growled as she started the engine. "Casey. You're hurt. You need to rest before we get there. Now stop this macho bullshit and get in the fucking car."
"Ok", Casey grimaced as he slid into the passenger seat. "I guess you're right."
Casey had barely closed the car door when Carina threw it in reverse and squealed the tires backing out of the parking spot. As soon as they were clear of the spot, Carina threw the car into drive and spun the tires as she rapidly navigated the narrow parking structure.
Casey was thrown forward when Carina backed out and violently thrown back in his seat as Carina accelerated.
"Damn it", Casey sighed as Carina sped around the parking structure. "Be careful."
"I'm tired of being careful", Carina replied through clenched teeth. "Just hold on."
- - - -
Sarah climbed down from Chuck's lap and faced Steve Jones. She flashed her best Sarah smile at him.
"Sir", Sarah sighed. "Thank you. You've kept your word. Now I'm going to keep mine."
Jones smiled at her suggestively.
"Please don't be upset, sir", Sarah cooed. "I just want to make sure that I have your word that you'll let my husband go."
"Agent Walker", Jones said softly. "If I get your best effort tonight, I give you my word."
"Oh, you'll get it sir", Sarah smiled. "Just sit back and get what you deserve."
Sarah smiled as she walked to the middle of the room. The seven Fulcrum agents, including Jones were sitting on cots in a circle around the room.
Sarah slowly walked around the circle as she unbuttoned her blouse. Every so often, she would stop and caress an agent's face.
- - - -
Traffic on the strip was typical for an early evening. That meant gridlock. No one was moving in any direction. Carina exited the parking garage and flew up the sidewalk. Tourists scattered in every direction as Carina sped by. Carina was weaving back and forth between lanes of traffic, often using the sidewalk.
Without anything to brace himself, Casey was being tossed back and forth. He hit the door hard several times.
"Damn it", Casey growled as he struggled to fasten his seat belt. "Is this how you interrogate suspects? Put them in a car and bounce them to death?"
"Hang on", grunted Carina as she ran a red light barely missing a city bus.
- - - -
Sarah let her blouse slide to the floor. She walked up to one of the agents and rested her foot between his knees on his cot.
"Can you help me", she asked sweetly as her placed her finger on the end of his nose. "I'm afraid this zipper sticks."
The agent visibly gulped as he reached for the zipper of Sarah's skirt. As soon as he had lowered it, Sarah walked to the middle of the room. She shook her hips suggestively until the skirt slid to the floor.
- - - -
Once Carina finally left the strip, traffic eased considerably. Carina floored the accelerator and the car shot forward.
"You need to take the next right", Casey yelled.
Carina turned the wheel without slowing down and executed a perfect power turn. The tires squawked in protest.
"Can you be a little quieter", Casey growled. "We are supposed to be sneaking up on them."
"If Sarah is doing her job", Carina growled back. "We could sneak up on them with a jack hammer. No, make that two jack hammers."
- - - -
"Well", Sarah smiled seductively. "It looks like it's time for the good stuff. Doesn't it?"
Sarah walked up to another agent. "Do you think you could help me with this clasp", she smiled to the agent. "I never can reach it."
The agent nodded nervously. Sarah turned around and sat on the agents lap.
Just as the agent was reaching to unhook Sarah's bra, Casey burst through the front door with his gun drawn.
The two Fulcrum agents on the opposite side of the room fell instantly dead as Casey quickly fired twice.
At the same time, Carina burst through the back door. She fired one shot, killing the agent sitting next to the front door.
As soon as Sarah saw Casey, she rammed her elbow into the agent's face that she was sitting on. She picked up the gun that the agent had laid down in an effort to reach Sarah's bra. With a single shot, he was quickly dead.
The other three quickly surrendered. Casey and Carina quickly bound their hands and feet with nylon ties while Sarah covered them. They tied Steve Jones to the same chair that Sarah had been previously fastened to.
Carina worked to cut Chuck loose from his chair. Once he was free, Chuck and Sarah quickly threw themselves into each others arms. They were both franticly kissing each other in relief.
Finally Sarah looked at Chuck. "I need to take care of something", she smiled. "Don't move. I'll be right back."
Chuck smiled back and nodded as Sarah walked over to Steve Jones. She sat on Jones's lap, straddling him much like she had Chuck earlier.
"You know Steve", Sarah said seductively. "I can't tell you how much of a turn on it is to be wanted as much as you want me."
I'm really tempted to take you in the bedroom and do everything that you wanted", Sarah continued as she gently kissed Jones's nose. "Just for fun. Too bad, I just got married and my new husband is here. I don't think he would understand. No. I'm sorry. He wouldn't."
"But don't feel bad", Sarah sighed as Jones groaned. "I'm sure where you're headed there's going to be a whole line of big muscular men ready to take my place."
"But Steve, please", laughed Sarah as she stood up off Jones's lap. "Please make sure you give them your best effort."
Sarah then walked over to the agent who had groped her earlier. He was standing against the wall with his hands and feet bound together. Suddenly, Sarah threw a roundhouse kick that connected directly in the groin of the agent. The agent quickly fell to the floor in agony.
"Sarah bent over and lifted the agent's head by his hair until he was forced to look into her eyes. "They're hard now", Sarah smiled as she released him.
Suddenly Sarah noticed Chuck. He had picked up one of the agents guns and had it pointed at Steve Jones head.
"What kind of man are you", Chuck said softly.
"Chuck", Sarah called softly.
"I mean", Chuck continued. "What kind of man forces a woman to strip and have sex to save her husband's life? I think that might be the most evil thing I've ever heard of."
"Chuck", Sarah called more loudly. "Don't do this".
"Its ok babe", Chuck replied to Sarah. "This guy has it coming."
"I know that", Sarah cried. "I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about you. You've never done this before."
"She'll never be safe", Chuck said to Jones. "She'll never be safe as long as you're alive. Will she?"
"Chuck", Sarah cried. "Please don't do this. Please. It will change you. Trust me, I know. It has changed me."
"Sorry Sarah", Chuck smiled. "I have to."
As Chuck touched his gun to the side of Jones's head, he yelled, "Bang".
"That was kind of fun", Chuck smiled as Jones babbled incoherently.
"That was a very dangerous game you were playing", smiled Sarah as she embraced Chuck.
"Don't worry", smiled Chuck. "The gun wasn't even loaded."
"See", said Chuck as he pointed the gun in the air and pulled the trigger. The shot rang out loudly. Some plaster fell from the ceiling where the shot hit.
"Opps", Chuck smiled sheepishly as he handed Sarah the gun. "Maybe you should take this."
"Maybe", Sarah laughed.
"I'm going to call Beckman", laughed Casey. "And get a cleanup crew over here."
"Unless you want to shoot somebody else", Casey smiled at Chuck as he dialed.
Sarah looked up at Chuck as she hugged him.
"You'll never know how proud I am of you", Sarah smiled. "I was actually starting to worry that you were freaking out for real."
"Well", smiled Chuck. "Let's just say that I was emotionally in tune with my character."
"Just think", Sarah smiled. "Your act helped me convince Jones to give us ten minutes. Just imagine what I would have had to have done to stall for those ten minutes."
"I know", smiled Chuck. "Listen. I know that the plan was for you to take some clothes off to distract them. And that worked brilliantly. It really did. Um, but do you think you could put your clothes back on now? I think you might be starting to distract Casey."
"Oh my goodness", cried Sarah as her face turned red and she reached for her blouse. "I was so keyed up, I had totally forgotten."
"Why didn't you say something", Sarah asked Carina.
"Hey", laughed Carina. "If I was built like you, I'd walk around like that all the time."
"Wait a minute", Chuck laughed. "You are built like her."
"There you go", smiled Carina back.
"Wait a minute", Sarah called. "That reminds me. What took you two so long? I was running out of things to take off."
"We've been here for twenty minutes", Carina laughed. "Casey just talked me into letting him see how far you would go."
"Hey", Casey laughed as his face turned bright red. "You tell her that you're kidding right now. That's a problem I don't need."
While Chuck and Sarah were quietly embracing, Carina walked up to Casey.
"I'm sorry that I yelled at you", Carina said softly.
"No Carina", Casey replied softly. "I'm the one that's sorry. I was treating you like my girlfriend and not like my partner. You do know that I think that you're a hell of an agent? Right?"
Carina threw her arms around Casey and hugged him tightly.
Just then, the cleanup crew arrived. They took Chuck, Sarah, Casey, and Carina in a van to the local FBI office for a video conference debriefing.
- - - -
Beckman was ecstatic.
"Don't you people realize that going off the grid means you're supposed to stay low", she joked.
"Yes ma'am", replied Casey.
"Anyway, nice work", Beckman continued. "Fulcrum has officially been eliminated on the western half of the country. We have Steve Jones in custody and, trust me; there will be no escape this time."
"Thank you ma'am", replied Sarah.
"We've been thinking", continued Beckman. "As much trouble as you seem to discover, we've decided to expand your team. We've contacted the DEA and arraigned for Agent Hansen for be assigned to your team until further notice. Please brief her on the intersect as soon as possible."
"Yes ma'am", replied Casey.
"Agent Hansen", Beckman addressed Carina.
"Yes ma'am", replied Carina.
"You have a reputation for being a superior agent", Beckman continued. "Unfortunately, you also have a reputation for doing your own thing and taking foolish chances. That will not be tolerated on this assignment. Do I make myself clear?"
"Crystal clear", replied Carina. "Ma'am, I just want to thank you for this opportunity. I won't let you down."
"There is one other matter", Beckman said. "Now that Fulcrum knows you two by name, we'd better give you names that they won't be looking for,"
"That's no problem for me, ma'am", Sarah replied. "Chuck and I were just married. I will be going by Sarah Bartowski."
"Nice thinking", replied Beckman. "That's an excellent cover."
"Thank you ma'am", smiled Sarah. "But actually, it wasn't for the cover. We really did get married."
"Ok", said Beckman much less enthusiastically. "I guess congratulations are in order."
"Thank you ma'am", smiled Chuck.
"What about you, Carina", Beckman asked.
"Well General", Chuck spoke up. "Maybe Casey and Carina could get married too. It would be great for their cover."
"I don't know", responded Beckman. "Do you really think you can sell yourselves as a couple? That seems pretty unbelievable to me."
"I think they could pull it off, ma'am", smiled Sarah. "As long as we can get Casey to act a little more romantically."
"Ok", replied Beckman. "I guess that might work."
"Mr. Bartowski", Beckman addressed Chuck.
"Yes ma'am", Chuck replied surprised.
"Is it still your intention to go back to Stanford", Beckman asked. "We've arraigned for you to be readmitted."
"Thank you ma'am", started Chuck. "But actually we've decided."
"Stanford will be fine, ma'am", Sarah interrupted. "Thank you, ma'am."
"Ok", continued Beckman. "You've certainly earned some time off. Take a couple of days at your discretion before you go back on the grid. And really people. Excellent work."
"Thank you ma'am", all four said in unison.
As soon as the screen went blank Casey turned to Sarah.
."As long as we can get Casey to act a little more romantically", Casey growled sarcastically.
Sarah walked up to Casey and spoke so that only he could hear.
"Like right now, dumb ass", she smiled as she grabbed Chuck's hand and walked outside.
As soon as Chuck and Sarah left the room, Casey grabbed Carina's hands.
"I'm not good at this you know", Casey said softly.
Carina's eyes told Casey to continue.
"I'm going to have a hard time separating the partner from the lover", Casey continued.
Carina simply looked at Casey with her eyes shinning.
"I'm sorry for the macho act", Casey said softly. "I guess I'm overly protective of the ones that I love. I hope you're willing to be patient."
"I am", smiled Carina. "It's a small price to pay to be loved. And Casey?"
Casey nodded for Carina to continue.
Carina smiled, "I think you're better at this than you think."
"I'm glad you think so", smiled Casey as he hugged Carina to his chest. "Because, missy, I do believe that you owe me a wedding night."
- - - -
As they stood outside the door of their hotel room, Chuck and Sarah said goodnight to Casey and Carina.
"When do you think you want to head back", Casey asked.
"Tired of Vegas already", Chuck smiled.
"No", Casey replied. "I've had a good time, but I'm kind of anxious to get back. To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to our new routine."
"I'll tell you what", Casey laughed as he continued. "I'm really looking forward to not having to listen to tapes of you and Morgan talking about sandwiches."
"We can't leave tomorrow", Sarah smiled. "Chuck is not going to be in any position to travel tomorrow. Or stand for that matter. He has a bet to collect, a show to see and lot's of new moves to learn."
"I have an idea", laughed Carina. "Why don't we all sleep in and enjoy our respective honeymoons. Then tomorrow night, we'll all go dancing. We'll make it one last wild night in Vegas. Then the next day around noon, we'll head back."
"Sounds like fun", smiled Sarah.
"Ugh, dancing again", moaned Casey.
Then he spotted Carina looking at him.
"I mean oh boy, dancing again", Casey laughed. "I can't wait."
"Just not too wild, Carina", laughed Sarah. "We just got on Beckman's good side. Don't make her come down here and bail us out."
As soon as they were alone in their room, Chuck turned to Sarah.
"I have a confession", Chuck said softly.
Sarah just smiled.
"About our bet", Chuck started hesitantly. "When I first made it, it was a setup. I talked Casey and Carina into pretending to be serious. And I'm as surprised as you that they seem to be really serious."
Sarah nodded.
"So I would feel bad winning under those circumstances", Chuck continued. "So I say, let's just pretend the bet never happened. Would that be ok?"
"Chuck", said Sarah with a huge smile. "You won the bet. Fair and square. You're collecting. I'm looking forward to it,"
"Besides", Sarah continued with a coy smile. "I have a feeling it's not going to take that long."
"Ok", Chuck coughed. "I'm sure you're right about that."
"Are you sure about Stanford", Chuck asked Sarah.
"Yes", smiled Sarah. "I absolutely am. If I can't trust you, who can I trust?"
"Besides", laughed Sarah. "I can always scare the crap out of her. I bet I can have her blubbering like a ten year old in five minutes."
"No bet", laughed Chuck.
"I have a confession too", laughed Sarah. "I was just kidding about having a lot of moves. You've already seen the moves I have."
"Thank God", Chuck sighed. "First off, I was wondering where you acquired all of these moves. Second, I'm having a hard time keeping up with you as it is."
"I told you not to tell me that you loved me earlier tonight", Sarah smiled. "I wouldn't mind hearing it now".
"I thought you already knew", Chuck laughed. "But for the record, I love you."
"And I love you back", Sarah smiled. "Do you think we could work on having that little girl now?"
"Absolutely", Chuck breathed as he leaned in to kiss Sarah.
Taking a cue from their earlier kiss he started very softly. Then with a little more passion. Then they were totally into it. After a couple of minutes Chuck leaned back and whispered to Sarah.
"Show Time."

We caught up with Randy at the end of the year to talk about Rizzo, Jesus Guzman and some of the others that were part of the Tucson team in 2011.
Anthony Rizzo just had a huge year but struggled in the big league levels and even a little after coming back to Tucson. From the naked eye it seems like he has a very big upper cut in his swing. Are you guys doing anything to correct this?
Randy Smith: So much of what we are talking about is age. Anthony just turned twenty-two and the numbers he put up in AAA are ridiculous. One hundred and one RBIs and sixty-one extra-base hits in under a hundred games is just amazing.
We are working on a few things with his swing but there is an adjustment period for young players going to the majors. I think he will be a very good major league player.
Jesus Guzman has played so well with the Padres and also did really well in Tucson. Did he make any big changes to his game this year with San Diego or could he always hit this well?
Randy Smith: I saw him years ago when he was with the Giants and he just stood out. Simply he could flat out hit. He has been on our radar for a long time. He's still a relatively young guy and finally got a chance and did it.
What position do you eventually see him ending up at?
Randy Smith: It's still kind of work in progress but with his bat he is going to play.
Andy Parrino played well at both San Antonio and Tucson. What was the big reason for his big leap forward this year?
Randy Smith: One of the hardest workers in the organization. He literally made himself into a player. He's versatile and can play anywhere in the infield or outfield. Andy is a true grinder and we really have got to give him the most credit for accomplishing what he has.
Cedric Hunter had a down year this season after big spring training. What did his struggle with the most?
Randy Smith: He got a shot in the big leagues early this year. Even though it seems that he has been around forever he's still a young guy. Cedric has great hand-eye coordination which is both a plus and hindrance. The walks have never been huge but neither have the strikeouts. If he swings at a pitch he is going to get his bat on it, it's just a question of hard contact. He needs to work on keeping the ball on a line and use his speed. More hits into the gap and increase his run production will help. He has a great first step in center field and we are trying to translate that to the base paths for him to steal more.
Brad Brach came up from San Antonio, where he had pitched well, and did the same in Tucson. Did you see an improvement this year in his split that he throws inside to right handed hitters?
Randy Smith: The biggest thing for him is use his secondary stuff. He made some tremendous strides with his slider and splitter to go along with his ability to command his four-seam fastball.
At the level where he is now I would like to see him throw the splitter/slider more. He's great to play behind because he works so fast with so much confidence. He just sets a really nice tempo.
Wade LeBlanc really pitched well in a difficult pitching environment. Did you see an improvement in his two-seamer and cutter?
Randy Smith: His numbers in Tucson were fantastic. He's realizing that he has to use his fastball to get outs instead of relying upon deception. Sinking it works in his favor and I think he had some big growth in his pitching this year.
How did you see the seasons of Jeremy Hefner and Will Inman?
Randy Smith: Hefner really pitched well in the second half and is more indicative of what we thought he would be. After he got over adjusting to the PCL, which is as you know a really tough place to pitch, the curve got better to go along with his fastball. He was trending up by the end of the year and had a winning record on a team that was under .500.
Inman is another young guy that seemingly has been around forever. He did well coming off of surgery and was in the top five in the organization in strikeouts. He had a two to one strikeout to base-on-balls ratio and more strikeouts than innings pitched so yeah I thought he had a good season.

Rhode Island Fire N' Ice is an elite youth fastpitch softball organization based out of East Providence, RI. The program was founded by Director and Coach, Rob Traverse, in 2010 for the purpose of providing exceptional softball training and instruction to young athletes. Our intent is to provide each player with the opportunity to develop and compete as they strive toward successful high school and college careers. While we compete in regional tournaments and showcases, we take pride in creating an environment that optimizes each player's ability while maintaining a "team first" approach to the game.
Director and Coach, Rob Traverse has led the RI Fire n' Ice softball program since its inception 7 years ago. Under his direction, RI Fire n' Ice has grown into an elite U18 softball program on and off the field.
A veteran in the coaching ranks, Traverse has spent the last eighteen years as head softball coach at East Providence High School. He coached the Townies to the Southern Divisional Championship in 2001, 2004 and 2005 and has over 200 wins to his credit in division I. During his tenure, the Townies have qualified for the Division I state playoffs 17 out of 18 years. Traverse was named "Division I Coach of the Year" in 2013 and just this year, the Townies were named the "It Takes a Team" Sportsmanship Team of the Year by the Providence Journal. He has provided instruction at numerous softball and baseball camps throughout the region for the past 25 years.
As a player, Traverse was a standout second baseman for East Providence High School earning all-star and all-state selections in 1985. He went on to play Division I collegiate baseball at the University of Rhode Island from 1985 to 1989 and was named team captain in his senior year.
Traverse graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 1989 with a degree in education and is currently a guidance counselor at East Providence High School. He has been a teacher/counselor for 26 years in the East Providence School System.
RI Fire n' Ice would like to welcome long-time great North Providence High School Softball coach, Paul Rizzo back to the coaching ranks. Rizzo was a standout shortstop with LaSalle Academy and starred for Providence College in the mid eighties. He spent time in the New York Mets organization before beginning his coaching career at North Providence High School. Rizzo captured multiple D1 state championships with the North Providence High School Softball Team before leaving to raise his four children. Currently, he is the long time head boys basketball coach at NPHS. Welcome Coach Rizz!!!
Coach Beats has been an assistant coach with Rhode Island Fire n' Ice for 6 years. His knowledge of the game and positive approach have made him a valuable part of the organization and a big reason for the program's success. Mike has does an excellent job teaching the outfielders and working as a hitting instructor.
Coach Clay enters his third season as an assistant coach with Rhode Island Fire n' Ice. He and Rob were college baseball teammates at the University of Rhode Island from 1985-89. While at URI, Steve was an outfielder/catcher and enjoyed success as a wide receiver on the football team as well. He was an Assistant Varsity Baseball Coach at Needham High School (MA) from 1995-2000. With Fire n' Ice, Steve enjoys working with the catchers and sharing his knowledge of hitting as well.

Fire n Ice allowed me to have fun on and off the field and sharpen my skills at the same time. Each practice, Coach Rob's motivation and organization inspired me to work at something and become a better player. It's very hard to find a team where the coach provides an environment where you can have fun, be very competitive, and also victorious 99% of the time....And FNI has all of those things. First time in a while I really enjoyed myself out on the field and even at practice. The game became a lot more fun for me and each tournament was a blast.
- Annie Mitchell
I truly believe that this year as a player on Fire N' Ice I have grow in ways I would have never imagined. The lessons I have learned go far beyond just the softball field. Each coach on the coaching staff, Coach Rob Traverse, Coach Clay, and Coach Beaton, I view as valuable mentors to me that I attribute to my growth as a person and player. I feel as though I am privileged to play for RI Fire N' Ice.
- A Current Player
The girls coaches and parents are all enjoying themselves and it has transcended on the field and we are playing very well as a team. They are well coached and carry themselves very well on the field. Most of our games have been very well attended by various coaches and our recruit- able players are getting some good looks.
- Dave Mitchell, Parent
The team bond this year has been stronger than ever before, and we carry our team chemistry onto the field. I also enjoyed how every practice has been different and we cover all aspects of the game. I feel way more prepared come game time.
- Maddie Nees
I played with the team and couldn't imagine playing for any other team. FNI is like a second family. My growth and success as a player can be fully contributed to FNI.
- Emily Anderson
After playing for RI Fire N Ice for six years, I have fallen in love with the organization. Being able to showcase yourself to college coaches while still keeping the competition and teamwork aspect of the game alive is very rewarding to a player. The coaching staff is phenomenal, taking time to find the strengths and weaknesses of each individual player and working with them on those specific skills. In addition to that, the family atmosphere of Fire N Ice is unlike any other team. Not one Fire N Ice player has ever went to another team because they were unhappy with their experience here and that's because there is an astounding amount of respect for every member of the Fire N Ice "family."
- Emily Machado
I have played with the RI Fire n' Ice for about the past 6 years and it has been one of the best experiences of my life. After struggling to find a team for a few months, I stumbled upon the RI Fire n' Ice and decided to give it a try. I was a little nervous at first but the girls and coaches accepted me right away and I became a part of the family. Over the years some of the girls have aged out, but a few of us have remained together and they have become a part of my extended family. Not only did the "veterans" become part of my family, but even the newer players. Our team chemistry is amazing and I owe a lot of it to the coaches as well. Our coaches are able to somehow bring together a variety of different personalities with little to no problems within the members of the team. This team has helped me become a better player and person, and I will be forever grateful of that.

Over a 40-year writing career the novelist Julian Rathbone refused to be pigeonholed. Twice shortlisted for the Booker prize, his output included crime novels, eco-thrillers, future fiction, film scripts and quirky historical narratives, and he also edited a fine non-fiction work about the Duke of Wellington. Never a big bestseller, he nevertheless made a good living as a professional writer. He sometimes produced two books a year and among his 40-odd novels he had his greatest commercial success with The Last English King (1997), written when he was 62.
The Rathbones were a Liverpool family who had made a fortune in shipping and mercantile insurance in the 19th century, but also had a reputation for philanthropy and were consistently anti-slavery; the independent MP Eleanor Rathbone and the Hollywood actor Basil Rathbone were both relatives.
Julian Rathbone was born in 1935 in a nursing home run by his aunt Helen in Blackheath, south-east London, although his parents lived in Liverpool. They were not rich; his father, Christopher, ran a small prep school and his mother, Decima (a 10th child) was an ex-Montessori teacher. Rathbone was illegitimate, a fact he discovered in his teens. Although his parents lived together as man and wife for 30 years, they couldn't marry because his father was unable to obtain a divorce from his wife, by whom he had a daughter.
The outbreak of the Second World War put an end to the prep school and Rathbone's father joined the RAF, although he was too old for combat. After the war and a couple of what Rathbone later called "really daft" business ventures, the family moved to Bognor where Aunt Helen allowed them to live rent-free in a house she kept for distressed mothers. Rathbone's father got a job as a prep-school assistant, supplementing his income as secretary of a social club and by working illegally as a bookmaker. His mother was also, apparently, a bookie, working out of a garden shed on the local caravan site.
Rathbone was sent to his father's old prep school on the Wirral and then to public school in Dorset, where he was noted for wearing large hats and rings on his fingers. In a later memoir, he recalled an inspirational teacher at school: "He took a fancy to me, something that would have got him into all sorts of trouble these days. But he did take me on trips, to the theatre and so on, which my parents couldn't have afforded."
He also introduced Rathbone to Wellington, arousing an interest that lasted the rest of Rathbone's life. He assumed there was something Oedipal in it: "The Duke must be the ultimate father-figure".
Rathbone won writing prizes at school but at university he was more interested in being an actor. He was accepted at Magdalene College, Cambridge to read English. (He was excused National Service because he had once had TB and was deaf in one ear.) His acting ambitions stalled when he turned down a major role at Cambridge (Derek Jacobi took it). However, he was paid 30 guineas for a piece he submitted to Punch. His father had offered to match the first money his son made from writing – it nearly bankrupted him.
Graduating in 1958, Rathbone went to work as a teacher in Ankara, Turkey. He had never been abroad before, and the poverty he saw was, he said, "a revelation" and set him on a left-wing path. While he was there, his father was killed in a traffic accident at the age of 60. (Rathbone wrote about it later in Blame Hitler). In 1962 he returned to the UK and, after a spell as a teacher in London comprehensives (an experience that took him "further left"), he took a job as head of English in a Bognor comprehensive, to be nearer his mother.
Rathbone was an admirer of Eric Ambler and Graham Greene. There were elements of both in his first novel, Diamonds Bid (1967). It was the first of four thrillers based in Turkey. By 1972 he was thinking of giving up teaching to write full time. In that year, at 38, he met a former pupil, Alayne (Laney), age 20, at a school reunion. He chucked in his job, she chucked in university and they ran off to Spain in a camper van.
They settled in Salamanca where Rathbone got stuck on his fifth Turkish novel. Eventually, he binned 200 pages. "From then on I've been over-meticulous about plotting everything before I get down to writing," he later said. Instead, he started Bloody Marvellous (1975).
The couple returned to England in 1974 and Alayne resumed her studies at Southampton University. Rathbone had a look at recent Booker prize-winners and wrote King Fisher Lives (1976) with the prize in mind: the novel contains cannibalism, incest and oral sex. It was shortlisted, but didn't win – Rathbone believed because Harold Wilson's wife, the amateur poet Mary Wilson, was chief of the judges and thought the book "filthy". "Harold, who made a brief appearance at the Booker dinner, gave me a very dirty look."
The Rathbones spent 1975 and 1976 in France and Spain where Rathbone wrote Carnival (1976), and A Raving Monarchist (1977). Around this time Rathbone came under the influence of Georg Lukacs' The Historical Novel and Herbert Marcuse's One Dimensional Man. The result was The Euro-killers (1979), set in a fictionalised Holland where an honest, deeply conservative policeman tries to bring polluting industrialists to book. Rathbone had his hero dumped in a tub of quick-drying concrete at the end of the novel. However, a publisher wanted two more books featuring the same man so the concrete dried rather more slowly and Base Case (1981) and Watching the Detectives (1983) followed.
In 1979 Rathbone was again Booker shortlisted for Joseph, a picaresque pastiche set in the Peninsular War. He then wrote A Last Resort, his first overtly autobiographical novel. In 1982, at the request of a publisher, Rathbone returned to the thriller format with A Spy of the Old School, a sympathetic look at an Anthony Blunt-type British spy.
His next novel, Nasty, very (1984) was his comment on Thatcher's Britain. He sent his next book, Lying in State (1985), to Graham Greene "as a way of acknowledging that what was good in what I had written was good because, in part, of what I had got from him, and I wanted to thank him". Greene wrote back saying, among other things: "I think your book a good one!" Rathbone framed the letter.
In 1986 Zdt, another eco-thriller, won the Deutsche Krimi Preis. For the rest of the decade Rathbone's book a year continued to achieve respectable though not outstanding sales. In the early 1990s, however, he hit a trough.
The family had moved to Spain for a year. When they returned to Britain, Rathbone was let go by his publisher. He quickly found another but his next few novels did not sell well.
However, after seeing the 1995 film Braveheart, he came up with the idea for a novel about King Harold from the point of view of one of his men wandering across Asia Minor after the defeat at Hastings. The Last King of England was a commercial and critical success and was optioned for a film to which Michael Caine, Jean Reno and Jude Law (as Harold) were all attached. The film wasn't made, but Rathbone wrote the first version of a script for another Caine movie, Shiner (2000).
The upturn in Rathbone's fortunes continued, and he remained prolific to the end, publishing two more historical novels and two in a private-eye series. His last novel, The Mutiny, about the Indian uprising of 1857, came out last year. Rathbone was a humorous, engaging man who admitted to vanity. In a memoir in 2003 he wrote: "The two things a writer, no matter how good or bad s/he is, needs for success are luck and vanity. Talent? Well, look around, not many as talented as me. Forget talent. I've been as lucky as I want or need to be . . . "
