Bedside Chat~ Part Three
The next morning I woke to a familiar voice.
"Hey! Juewuhl! Wake up, it's almost light out!"
I rolled over and pulled the covers even farther over my head.
"If we were meant to be up this early, then the sun would be out."
"Well there's a moon… doesn't that mean anything?"
"Yes. That's to help you find the bathroom."
"I'm not leaving until you get up Juewuhl."
Hang on a second… that sounded like…
"Pailadyn?! What are you doing out of the rest area?"
"Well mother my arm is fixed now. I figured it was about time I left." I gave her a contemplative look when she said that. She had sounded almost like a teenager…
How old was she?
"What is it?"
I shook my head to get back to the present,
"Oh, nothing. Just a thought."
Pailadyn watched me for a moment and when I didn't say more she said,
"Alright. Ready to get going?"
"No! How early is it?"
"I don't know, Five in the morning?"
"Five in the mor-… why?!"
"Because… well I wanted to get moving, I hate being alone, and you were the first person I thought of." She gave me a light punch on the shoulder, "After all, you did say if I needed anything I should come and get you. I'm just following your orders."
"Is it too late to revoke my orders?"
"Yes, now come on!"
I liked it better on earth, where girls actually slept in. I hauled myself out of bed and did a few jumping jacks to get my blood flowing and my clear my head.
"Ok. I'm ready."
She grabbed my hand and just about dragged me out the door. We came to the Hub where I expected us to turn and go to the training hall, but instead Pailadyn led me down the corridor leading to the outside.
"Um, Pailadyn? Where are we going?"
"It's a secret."
"Well, aren't you about to bring me there?
"Then why can't you tell me?"
"Just don't worry about it. You'll find out when you get there."
Once outside, we followed the path that led to Skrybe's house, only instead of going all the way down, we took a left down a smaller path that I hadn't noticed the last time I had traveled this dirt road.
We followed the path for about five minutes. Pailadyn managed it with ease, while I was constantly stumbling every few steps. At last we came to the end of the line. Literally. We stood facing a rather large cliff.
"Is this it?"
"Nope. But we're almost there!"
She felt along the rock face for a second then gave a small exclamation. Using her Shroud, Pailadyn created two longswords and punched at the rock!
"What are yo-"
Her sword went right in.
"There are slits in the rock here. If you make your blades long and thin enough, they should be able to fit."
Then she started to climb up the wall, sliding her sword out of one hole and inserting it into the next.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me." I muttered. Then I made a rotor with two blades and attempted to slide it in.
It worked. Now to actually leave the ground and climb to the top.
One "handhold" at a time I pulled myself up. My right hand missed one of the handholds near the top, but luckily my other blade was firmly in a crevice so the only thing I got out of it was a slight wrench to my left shoulder. After a second I had found the handold and was back on track.
Pailadyn was waiting calmly when I pulled myself over the edge and collapsed. I was panting pretty heavily, and she didn't even appear out of breath.
"You can use this to get in better shape if you wish. It's great for working everything and giving you some good exercise.
"Great. Thanks… Coach. Now… is that… all you wanted… to bring me here for?""
"Nope! Hadn't even considered that part of it actually. I just thought this would be a cool place to bring you. There is a great view of the sunset, it's quiet, and… private. She said without looking at me.
I could only guess what she was getting at.
"Yeah, the view certainly is nice from here. Did you make the handholds yourself?"
"Yes actually. It was an arduous process, but also a rewarding one."
"Wow. I can't imagine what that must have been like, carving a hole while hanging from another one. Must have taken forever."
"Only a few weeks actually."
I didn't answer that one, but simply chose to enjoy the rising sun.
"What is a kiss?"

Welcome back jobbing readers of blogging blog posts and the lark! I feel like calling you all True Believers, but I don't think the saying holds as much weight as I'd like to think. You know sometimes I write these and they turn out much more informative than I'd like, and other times they are just fun and informative? Well one would hope it was fun and informative, but it makes me question do people read it in the same light as I write it? Obviously the Jobber Blogger's biggest (and longest... and only) fan, TNR's The Innovator of Annoyance reads it in the same light. But I have been asked if I am okay after Writing one of these random worded dribble articles I like to apply to jobs with!
Yes Grammar makes everything better! If you use it! Up Yours Literacy!
It's hard to believe, but we are nearly out of the June altogether and heading into the latter 6months of the Year... oh how I've wasted my life. But speaking of wasting one's life, I did spend time watching a Wrestling TV Show and I'm here to tell you all about it! Huzah!
A smartly dressed Sting kicks off the show making his way to the Impact Zone, obviously this brings back the "Main Event Mafia" look for the Icon. But speaking as a fan, I don't care.
Hogan gathers all of the Bound for Glory Series' competitors in the ring, obviously leaving a special introduction for Bobby Roode and Jeff Hardy, I fail to see the point in giving them the lime light, or is it line light? I don't know. But yes, this is to announce the winner of the Fan-Vote, as if it comes as a surprise to anyone, Jeff won! And his choice of who to fight wasn't surprising either. Austin Aries though stepped up in an attempt to get the Crowd chanting, stating that Jeff is obviously the most Popular, but wherever they go, the fans Chant for Austin Aries... followed by no chants for Austin Aries. And then Christopher Daniels just blabbed on about not fighting him or Kazarian, but of course in the end Jeff chose to fight Bobby Roode, and for some reason everyone started fighting.
Wrestling Logic! You strike again!
Anderson vs. Joseph Park - BFG Series
As it's Open Fight Night, Mr. Anderson called out Joseph Park, picking the "weakest" of the other 11 Competitors to try and get some early points on the leader board. I've heard mixed things about if people like the BFG Series or not, but personally I love the idea. A 3Month long Point Based Tournament is a great idea that ends in winning a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship on the biggest Stage. Of course the logic behind the last 2 PPV's of Hogan just picking someone at Random go against the grand scope of this tournament. But who is keeping check?
It seems they've decided to let Joseph Park know how to Wrestling a bit better now, for he actually controlled part of this match, and in character traits, that's surprising given the amount of time Anderson has been in the business not to mention the level he performs at.
More importantly Anderson's Aces and Eights cut simply says "Asshole" on it, I like that!
Park locks in the Boston Crab, a move he "learned" whilst in Boston, which also makes for an interesting development if he can utilise the move for the BFG Series and gain Submission Points?
Either way, Doc gets involved and eventually the distraction and a timely placed Kick to the back of Park left him open to the Mic Check from Anderson, giving Anderson the win and 7points on a pin-fall victory.
Jay Bradley vs. Austin Aries - BFG Series
For anyone that wants to complain about the BFG Series, it actually just gives you pretty much nonstop Wrestling, and that's why you watch a Wrestling Show right? Or at least the main reason?
Jay Bradley chose to call out Aries, and after last week where I ranted about Aries looking really subdued, this week, Aries looked like the Aries we all know and love. And no, I don't mean the Austin Aries of the last year, I mean the Austin Aries prior to Destination X last year.
Aries was spot on, ruthless and impressive, and so was Jay Bradley, who is carrying the entire weight of the Gut Check competition on his shoulders at this point. And having a match of this calibre with a star like Aries really cements his place on the Roster.
For me, this was the match of the night and certainly makes me want to see more of Aries in this competition, not to mention a Rematch between the two.
Aries lands his devastating Corner Drop-Kick followed up by the even more devastating Brain Buster to gain the Victory.
Hernandez vs. Christopher Daniels - BFG Series
Even after the "issues" between Hernandez and Chavo, it was Chavo who was backstage trying to get Hernandez motivated for his match. Which of course only makes you think that Chavo will eventually screw Hernandez over or something along those lines. Or at least that's my professional opinion. Yep, it is a profession.
Daniels however is sporting a new Attire, which distances himself from the matching ensemble of Bad Influence, of course this doesn't mean anything, but given that Kaz wore his same old garb later on, it does create that divide.
Hernandez seems to be better as of late, but he still struggles to really have that certain flare that makes him stand out, or takes him to a higher level. And of course just after writing down that he is impressive, Daniels hits him with a Low-Blow, then the BME and picks up the win! Everything is right, almost with the world!
Kazarian vs. Magnus - BFG Series
Kazarian called out Magnus, but not after he bigged him up by repeating a lot of the industry buzz surrounding the Brit. Which seems a little odd, it's almost as if Kaz was used to promote Magnus but play it off in a more "jealous" type of role. But either way, the hype about Magnus is true and he was just as impressive as ever in his bout with Kazarian, and yet another great quality match. Though I've been a big fan of Kazarian for many years, and let's make be honest, he is one of the most underrated performers on their roster.
But keeping with the push, Magnus picks up an impressive win with the use of the good ol' Texas Cloverleaf, thus putting Magnus at the top of the board.
Hogan has this strange walking down the corridor on the phone segment being followed by Bully Ray, but before Bully can do anything, Hogan grabs him by the throat, playing on his patented Hulki-sense! But Bully doesn't want Hulk, he wants Brooke, throwing more "mind games" in the mix in terms of their relationship going forward.
And speaking of Brooke, she makes her way to the ring to stand on some podium and blab on about the Addressing the Knockout Division.
Really a whole segment which sounded like something bigger was going to be announced, like an all Knockout Impact or something along those lines. But no, it was just a storyline building segment. Mickie James gets a special introduction, and she obviously seems nothing like the Mickie we knew, which is interesting. I personally think her Heel turn is going well, but at the same time, it does bare a resemblance to a good ol "Knock on the head" personality change.
In a smart move though the Knockouts Tag-Team Champions actually handed in their belts, now leaving them Vacant with EY and ODB rolling up the ramp kissing. So here is hoping they get rid of the belts, which have never been needed. They didn't even have enough Knockouts in the ring to form 3 Tag-Teams in the first place, so what is the point.
The big announcements though is Mickie vs. Velvet - Knockouts Championship rematch next week, and at some point Gail Kim will fight Taryn Terrell in a Ladder match. I assume this match takes place the week after when Impact is somewhere new for the TV Taping, Vegas was the destination given. However when Gail mentioned about getting her re-match on the subject of the Knockouts Championship, I fail to see her being in a Ladder match with Taryn was the right way to solve her problem. Obviously after their stunning "Last Knockout Standing" match, the anticipation for the Ladder match will be great, but at the same time, putting them in a dangerous environment is not a good thing, and I sure hope they both are willing to do this, and wanting to do this, rather than TNA repeating some old habits, ala Daffney.
Soon after the segment, a worried Hulk Hogan sent Brooke on her way out of the Impact Zone.
AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe - BFG Series
It's hard to place where TNA want AJ Styles, obviously they started to turn him Heel, but then they turned him face, and now they want people to know that he isn't a good guy, only does what he wants. AJ had a rather oddly placed Promo before the match stating "this isn't about The Aces and Eights, this isn't about TNA, it's about me!" and that isn't a place for heroes and he's going to do his own thing. Not only a random place to have a promo, but also a bit of a random scripted mess to boot.
Still, AJ Styles and Samoa Joe know how to have a great match, and they did just that. With numerous high points, namely when Joe kicked AJ on the Apron and he landed face first with a rather hefty thump. Also Joe went for a Top-Rope superplex that saw AJ landing in a Cross-body position. I don't know if that was an error or not, but normally when they counter into a Cross-body it looks more graceful than just simply landing wrong.
Either way neither of them could defeat the other in the 15Minutes allowed and the match ended in a Draw with 1 Point each.
Bobby Roode vs. Jeff Hardy - BFG Series
The times when the Jeff and Roode fought for the World Heavyweight Championship, are the times when I wanted to be blown away by their matches and yet was left feeling "they could have been better". However this time, they created a performance that succeeded what I expected going in.
Jeff still is keeping his more old-school look, so I'm getting more hope that this is going to be a regular thing. But more importantly, with everyone stepping up their game going into the BFG Series, not to be out-done, my favourite Wrestler to date, Bobby Roode was Perfection.
Which interestingly makes Roode and Aries the top-two to look out for in this Series, though I don't expect either of them to win, though I still believe Aries managed to sway management in his favour before, and I think he can do it again if he keeps up his performance level, which obviously he can.
Of course that leaves AJ Styles in third place with regards to performance, and AJ is still my pick to win it.
However, it was Jeff who probably surprised me the most in this match, after missing the Swanton Bomb, Roode locked in his Cross-Face submission. But a little while later when he tried to reapply the hold, Jeff counted in excellent fashion and used the momentum to turn it into a Twist-of-fate in a seamless fashion picking up the Win.
Bully Ray comes out to close the show, stating that including the BFG Competitors, and the 3-X-Division Stars competing for a chance next week, there are 15 Wrestlers gunning for a Shot at Bully Ray. But given that he has been ruthless, and taken out more and more stars of late, would they really want to face him? What's interesting is that it seems like The Aces and Eights are just accepted within TNA, they are no longer an outside force trying to take over, but just Wrestlers banded together in a faction. Hogan doesn't seem as hell-bent on trying to eradicate them.
Either way Bully's main reason for being out was asking for Brooke to greet him face to face. Earlier on in the night after Hogan had sent her home, Bully got her on the phone and set some of his "Brothers" to bring her back safely.
However Bully was faced with the Icon, rather than Brooke. And Sting wanted Retribution, knowing full-well he can no longer Wrestle for the World Championship, but he can still Wrestle Bully Ray for revenge. Which is when Sting started taking his Clothes off, and Bully pleaded with Sting to keep them on, even to the point of threatening him with the rest of The Aces and Eights. But Sting wasn't buying it, and continued to undress. I think that was the problem right?
Either way Bully "clicked his fingers" but without a Mic picking up the noise, seemed a little bit wasted on TV, but alas The Aces and Eights had been laid out in the back, and they weren't coming to Bully's aid anytime soon.
Earlier in the night we see Sting shaking hands with someone in this weird Shadow segment, so one would assume it is all linked.
Bully makes a run for it, and is instead attacked by Kurt Angle dressed in a Suit, who applies the Ankle Lock as Sting shouts in Bully's face.
Now this is the problem, one Main Event Mafia, who cares. Two, Sting being in a suit and this type of "role" ruins the potential his Character has, and would be far better as a crazy lone warrior. Three, Angle was one of the people who didn't come and help Sting in the first place, so why would Sting recruit him now and expect him to be on his side? Four, if Angle could single-handily take out all of The Aces and Eights in the back, then why didn't he do this Months ago?
I don't get the whole point of creating another Faction, but I'm still interested to see where it goes, but right now, I am more convinced they've taken the wrong direction.

All of a sudden felt like adding to this again.
I walked into the bar and, without so much as a glance at the dirty tender or the crowded and smoky room. I crossed and sat down in a booth near the end
Across from me sat a presence so deep in shadow and smoke and haze; so well blended with the dirty souroundings around us; I could not see if he were man, boy, or monster.And this is why it had become his custom to meet clients here.
That and the food here was some of the best that this, now ruined, city could offer.
"What's the job?" He asked. As always, straight to business to keep the conversation short.
"None. I just wanted to meet you."
"Then this meeting is over."
"I just wanted to ask you something."
"Get lost. I have nothing to say to someone who wastes my time." And with those words I heard the very unmistakable click of a pistol's hammer being pulled back. I knew if I did not talk quickly then my brains would be painting the walls and no-one would blink.
Another reason why he had chosen this establishment. Many had gone to meet with this ghost and never been heard from again.
I knew this very well, but I felt no fear and made certain to show this on my face.
He lowered the gun slowly. "You aren't afraid and yet you know who I am?"
"I know you wouldn't kill someone without a reason. There is no money on my head and I am no threat. So you will not shoot any more than a boss would suddenly turn charitable."
"You are right. But I will not answer any questions. Who and what I am is my own business and no-one elses so just leave me in peace."
Obligingly I stood but before I made my exit from this building and thus this world I turned back to him. "Let me just say this though Daniel." He tensed up and began to raise the gun again, how did I know his real name? "Your parents were good people and I'm sorry that they died. But their legacy still lives in you, if you find the motivation."

Murray lost a pulsating five-setter against the Spaniard in the opening grand slam of the year in Melbourne - the first time Murray had lost to Verdasco in six meetings.
But the Scot returned to winning ways against Verdasco in emphatic style in Miami, casting him aside in just 75 minutes to book a last-four meeting with surprise semi-finalist Juan Martin del Potro.
Del Potro defeated world number one Rafael Nadal in a gruelling three-setter immediately before Murray's contest, and after the contrasting ease of the Scot's progress he will surely fancy his chances of reaching the final.
Like he did in the previous round against Viktor Troicki, Murray immediately claimed two breaks of serve to race into a 4-0 lead after just 15 minutes on court.
The pair then exchanged breaks of serve before Murray served out the opening set to claim it in just over a half hour.
Verdasco then disappeared off court for a three-minute medical break when the Spaniard would have done well to compose himself.
If that was the tactic it failed as he conceded his service straight away and although he had four chances to break back in the next game, he passed up the chance on each occasion.
Murray's tenacity was then rewarded as he took the game and Verdasco's challenge was running on empty as he lost his next service to go 3-0 down.
Verdasco again called for a medical time-out after winning the fifth game to make it 4-1, the first time he held serve in the match. The Spaniard cut a dejected figure as the trainer worked on his right hamstring and while he played on it was only a matter of time before Murray clinched victory.

Friendly Fire: How The Budget Could Blast The PentagonAmy Borrus
The magic asterisk is one of the oldest fallbacks for harried budget writers. Pressed for time, budgeteers will often pencil in a number and promise the details later. In 1981, for example, Ronald Reagan's budget pledged $70 billion in future "management savings" that never materialized. While Bill Clinton's first fiscal effort generally won praise for honesty, it contains a monumental asterisk: $127 billion worth of defense cuts over the next five years, with no details on what programs will be affected. Defense contractors and the armed services are worried--and with good reason.
The big fear is that the number is not only real but also will grow as the Administration seeks further cuts to help pay for Clinton's spending plans. "Defense is the only place to go for the spending increases Clinton wants," says Loren B. Thompson, a Georgetown University national security expert.
MARCHING HOME. Pentagon bungling has left the military vulnerable. Cost overruns and development snags are bloating the price of new weapons such as McDonnell Douglas Corp.'s C-17 transport aircraft. Defense specialists say the Bush Administration underestimated the cost of all the weapons now in development. Defense Secretary Les Aspin has ordered a study to determine how big the shortfall will be. The results, due in late March, "will be political cover for Aspin to come back and ask the services for further cuts," predicts consultant Charles A. Gabriel Jr. of the Washington Research Group. Worries one Democratic armed services staffer: "We may have to find another $20 billion or $30 billion to cut."
Personnel will be the first target. The President has called for shrinking the armed forces from 1.7 million troops today to 1.4 million. That cut would be 200,000 deeper than the level planned by Bush. And Administration officials are thinking about taking manpower levels down to 1.2 million by 1997.
Personnel cuts alone won't save enough. Stretch-outs or outright cancellation of some weapons are unavoidable. The Administration's love of high technology doesn't extend to Star Wars, which will likely be cut to $3.8 billion from the $5.4 billion Bush asked for last year. On Capitol Hill, knives are out for the C-17. If forced to choose between the Air Force transport and the F-22 advanced tactical fighter, Air Force top brass would almost certainly choose the sexy fighter.
The news isn't all bad for hard-pressed McDonnell. At a recent press briefing, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Colin Powell pointedly declined to endorse a deep-strike role for the Navy--the mission of the next-generation A/FX attack plane. If the Navy drops the A/FX, it may substitute purchases of McDonnell's F/A-18 fighters.
The detailed decisions, however, will be slow in coming. The Administration's failure to fill key jobs, including secretaries of all three services, has contributed to the snail-like pace of planning. And Aspin's Feb. 22 hospitalization for a mild heart condition may further delay decisions.
HOUSE DIVIDED. Things could get even more confused when a detailed spending plan hits Capitol Hill in March. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), thinks Clinton's cuts are too deep, aides say. His House counterpart, Ron Dellums (D-Calif.), wants far steeper reductions. These differences may not be resolved before fall.
Clinton probably hopes to go easy on defense. His relations with the military are dicey. And he knows that deeper cuts will cost jobs in such hard-hit states as Texas and California. Still, with no compelling military threat looming, the President may find it hard to resist the temptation to choose fewer guns and more butter.

The Dream
"This isn't going to work," the man insisted, staring down at Catriona, "she isn't going to wake. We should attempt to save the child." The girl had been unconscious for over a day now, shallow breathing and a weak pulse the only signs of life. The doctor and his assistant had exhausted every method of reviving the girl—to no avail.
Catriona was trapped in deep slumber. She felt as though she was swimming underwater, gliding through the water as though she was part of it. It was peaceful, quiet. But she knew she must wake. She must reach the surface of this dream before her sentence was carried out.
A sharp pain forced Catriona to the surface. She opened her eyes, seeing two blurred images hunched over her. A scream broke through her dry lips, causing the two men to jump back, their surgical tools flying from their hands. Catriona sat up, gasping in horror at the blood that stained her belly.
"Christ!" The doctor exclaimed as he regained his footing. Catriona looked at him in confusion as she clutched at her wounded body.
"Let me help you," the assistant pleaded as he grabbed a clean cloth. He gently replaced Catriona's hand with his own, applying the pressure needed to cease the bleeding.
"What have you done to me?" Catriona cried.
"We thought you weren't going to wake, Miss," the assistant answered, "we were trying to save your child. Please lay back now."
Catriona obeyed the man, trying to make sense of her surroundings and how she had come to be there. As she shut her eyes, excruciating pain radiated through her abdomen. This pain was different. It was as though a heated flame had enveloped her womb, forcing her body to respond.
It was time.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 18, 1997, New Braunfels, Texas ll WIP J I pPeople nm c^fbiru Cb sax Aneurysm is ticking time bomb for some DEAR ABBY: Two years ago, my husband's sister had a sonogram to check for a possible gynecological problem. What the doctor discovered was an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that was large enough for mandatory surgery. Her doctor told her to notify any siblings that they, too, should have a sonogram. The unexpected result of my husband's examination stunned us all. Bill, too, had an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Bill was monitored for one year, until the aneurysm surged significantly. The operation followed a month later. The doctor's insight about the genetic factor probably saved Bill's life. Abby, please tell your readers that this type of aneurysm is hereditary. lf a parent or sibling has had an aortic aneurysm, then all siblings and offspring should be examined. We have been advised that our son must be tested when he reaches age SO and should continue to have a sonogram every five years thereafter. The cause of the aneurysms is unknown, although several risk factors—notably hypertension, smoking and atherosclerosis— could possibly contribute to their 0L«iAQ|JMM'fctAgRkvtfc. They have been found to occur more frequently in males than in females. Abdominal aortic aneurysms are silent and usually deadly if not discovered before they rupture. Ruptures are preventable with continued use of ultrasonography and CT scanning. I hope my letter will be a red alert to anyone whose family has a history of aneurysms. Check with your doctor. Don't put it off! And physicians who are unaware of this should consider including "family history of aneurysms'' on their new patient forms. It could save lives. BARBARA AND BILL GOLDSMTTH SAVANNAH, GA. DEAR BARBARA AND BILL: I*m sure your warning will serve as a wake-up call to anyone who has a family history of aortic aneurysms. And another plus is the fact that the test is painless and aon-invaslve. Thank you for a letter that is sure to be a lifesaver. Andrea Westman and Blake Boldt, seventh-grade students, and Sarah Vaught and William VanKleef, eighth-grade students, were selected as recipients of the Braunfels Foundation Award.

My name is Sharon Louise Joana Flood. I used to be paranoid about putting my last name on the net, but I figure my name is already on face book and twitter, so what the hey.
My oldest half sister was nearly eighteen when I was born, and mom promised her that she could name me. I was the fifth child, so I guess my mom wasn't all that set on choosing another one herself. My dad wanted to call me Joanna, but it ended up being spelled with only one n on my birth registration card.
I like the name Sharon, but not Louise, I don't know why. There was always at least one other Sharon in my high school classes. There were as many as five Sharons in some classes. In my senior History class, our teacher named us Sharon 1, Sharon 2, etc. up to five. I was Sharon number 3. There are even two other Sharons at work besides me.
Considering how common the name is, you'd think that people could spell it. My own brother still spells it Sharen, because that's the way he says it. His spelling always sucked anyway, so I just consider the scource and ignore it.
I had a Science teacher that always spelled my name Sharren on report cards. You would think that a man of science would at least be able to spell a common name! I had a personnel manager that always spelled my name Sharron on my badge, and on my pay envelopes. When I told her the proper spelling, she argued with me, but then she argued with everybody!
Aside from my official name, I've had a number of nicknames. In various stages of my life I've been called Sophie, Share, Sherrie, Shari-Poo, the Floodster, Flooderama, Sunshine, bookworm, shrimp, shortie, munchkin, (I'm short, if you haven't already guessed.) and Aunt Dodie, which is the current one. I have absolutely no idea why. My most recent nickname is Moonwalker, or Moon, and I use various versions of it on other sites.
So that's how I got my name, how did you get yours?

"Where's Jeeves?"
Ah, what I wouldn't give to have someone like the redoubtable Jeeves in my life.
An individual endowed with almost supernatural competence, intelligence and aplomb. Absolutely unflappable. Capable of quickly and expertly assessing any situation, offering the most expedient and logical course of action, which is all but guaranteed to achieve the desired result.
But it's more than that. A true Jeeves is able to anticipate setbacks and complications, avoiding them like a poorly disguised tiger trap. His abilities are practically psychic—how else do you explain how he materializes even before he is summoned, showing up the instant his services are required?
P.G. Wodehouse, creator of Jeeves and his impetuous, dim-witted employer, Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, has the perfect word for Jeeves' sudden, timely appearances: he simply "shimmers" into a room.
Bertie is excitable, craven, shallow, gullible, naïve, inept; if it wasn't for his phlegmatic, faithful manservant, he'd be in a pickle literally every waking moment of his life.
For Jeeves is the ultimate fixer—perhaps Bertie is right and it's all the fish he eats. Whatever the source of his genius, Jeeves never fails to provide unstinting, courteous service and when compelled to suggest some subtle stratagem or artifice, you can count on Jeeves to save the day.
No impasse is so hopeless, no cause so lost that Jeeves can't provide a ready remedy.
A Jeeves would organize my affairs, ensure the bills are paid, prevent our household finances from creeping into the red. He could fend off lovelorn friends, bossy aunts, irate foes and deal with those pesky Jehovah's Witnesses that keep ruining my quiet, peaceful Saturday mornings.
Bearing in a pot of strong tea and my daily newspaper as soon as he hears me stirring. Reminding me of an appointment or birthday I've forgotten. Drawing my bath, making sure it's exactly the right temperature. Purring words of comfort and consideration while laying out my clothes for the day.
My man, Jeeves.
Truly, he stands alone!
* In my view the best way to experience "Jeeves and Wooster" is to listen to the BBC Radio dramatizations of Wodehouse's stories. Michael Hordern and Richard Briers are stellar—the productions are first rate, the supporting players well-cast, the end result always hilarious.

March Madness (of a different sort)
Well, since my last post, I've been a busy lad, working hard on the novel-in-progress, kicking PayPal's ass and—
What's that? I haven't mentioned my on-going dispute with those lovely folks at PayPal/eBay, have I? Here's the poop:
Three years ago I filed a formal complaint with the Privacy Commission of Canada. PayPal brusquely informed me that my on-line transactions had reached a certain (arbitrary) limit and I could no longer use their services until I allowed them to link to my bank account. Ahem. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am touchy about my security and privacy almost to the point of paranoia. There was no way I was going to give those corporate scum-suckers that kind of potential access to my personal banking information.
So I ratted PayPal out to the Privacy Commissioner. Insisted that I was being denied services and my rights as a private citizen were being violated.
After several years of investigations and submissions from both parties, the Privacy Commissioner has concluded that my complaint was "well-founded" and I have had my PayPal account fully restored. Not only that, Paypal has agreed to change its practices and fully implement the Privacy Commission's recommendations regarding on-line transactions by November 30, 2014. These "corrective measures" will provide PayPal clients with more information and an "alternative solution", other than the illegal and unwarranted collection of personal banking information.
My thanks to the folks at the Privacy Commission for pursuing such a lengthy and complex case and for holding PayPal's feet to the fire until they were forced to acknowledge the legitimacy of my concerns.
Vindication! This is what happens when you refuse to be one of the dull-witted, simple-minded "sheeple". As consumers and citizens of a free country we have rights and must make every effort to ensure our private data isn't being collected/mined or our financial security rendered vulnerable by greedhead corporations and/or overly nosy, inquisitive government agencies.
So stay vigilant.
What else? The novel…ah, yes, the novel. What can I tell you—very little really. It progresses, slowly but surely. Still anticipating an early 2015 release date…other than that, I have nothing to add. Cautiously optimistic but unwilling to go any further. How's that for unhelpful?
When I've not been writing or editing, I've been watching a number of good movies, some of which I've reviewed over on my film blog. You did know I had a film site, right? Oh, for Heaven's sake…well, you'll find it here. I post infrequently (surprise, surprise) and refuse to have anything to do with silly popcorn movies, rom-coms or abominations by the likes of Michael Bay, JJ Abrams, Zack Snyder or (saving the loudest retch for last) James Cameron. I try to champion obscure or forgotten movies, doing my bit to enlighten contemporary cinema-goers, many of whom haven't seen anything older than "Jaws". Hands down, the best film I've seen so far in 2014 is a Czech film Sherron gave me for Christmas called "Marketa Lazarova". Nothing else has come close. Set in the Medieval era, complications involving two warring clans…strong intimations of Bergman's "Virgin Spring" and Kurasawa's "Throne of Blood". I intend to watch it again before I sit down and write my review. So much to take in—there is greatness in that film.
March 8th, Sherron and I attended a performance by the Saskatoon Symphony. Not a regular occurrence, I'm shame-faced to admit, but this time around the bill was too good to resist, featuring two of my favorite 20th Century composers, Benjamin Britten and Ralph Vaughan Williams. After the intermission, three different choirs filed out and added their voices to Vaughan Williams' "Sea Symphony" (the text derived from poems by Walt Whitman). Two solo vocalists, Monica Huisman and Peter McGillivray, were also highlighted and the evening concluded, as conductor Victor Sawa promised in his pre-concert chat, not with a huge flourish, but a gentle exhortation to sail on, ever onward, risking everything, abandoning safe anchorages and familiar stars:
"O my brave soul!
O farther farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail! …"
Lots of reading and music in the past few weeks—some titles that stand out, Nicholson Baker's Human Smoke (recommended by Penn Gillete on one of his "Penn Point" podcasts), Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth (Reza Aslan), as well as lots of poetry by the likes of Ted Kooser, Tom Hennen, Donald Hall and W.S. Merwin. In terms of tunes, I've been enjoying everything from a compilation of Simply Saucer songs I picked up in a thrift shop, to the Foo Fighters, Airbag, Radio Moscow, Bob Mould, Hayes Carll, Spiritualized…how am I doing?
And I want to take a moment to give a shout out to some individuals deserving of special mention, this month's Roll Call of Honor:
First of all, a huge "Thank You" to Jason Brock for surprising the hell out of me with a couple of first edition Richard Matheson books. Gifts that arrived from out of the blue (an act of generosity I'll remember a long time).
A big hug to my sister, Colleen, who recently retired from her longtime position with Viterra and, I hope, will now sit back and smell the roses for awhile—God knows, you deserve it, gal!
And, finally, a sad but fond farewell to a man who often represented the conscience of his nation, Tony Benn. One of my colleagues on LibraryThing posted the following quote, which sums the man up perfectly:
"Ask the powerful five questions:
What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How can we get rid of you?"
Tony Benn (1925-2014)
Jennifer Aniston's Nipples
You're the kind of person who hunts through Google or Yahoo entertainment sidebars looking for "Jennifer Aniston Heats Up Red Carpet" or "Miley Cyrus Grinds Her Way to Adulthood". You can't wait to find out the latest poop with the Kardashians and have a sick fascination with the British royal family that borders on obsession.
What is it with you and celebrities? Why do you instinctively reach for a tabloid the way a chimpanzee is drawn to a scatter of dimes?
Take a gander around, look at the culture you and your monkey-brain kind have created with your stupid, acquisitive, wide-eyed ways.
Sequels and spin-offs and comic book adaptations, because your minds are too scattered to grasp original concepts. Bad, derivative art, audio/visual porn, easy to assimilate, just as quickly forgotten.
Here's a question for you:
Instead of endlessly trolling the internet for a glimpse of Jennifer Aniston's rather mundane aureole, why aren't you:
—working on a cure for ovarian cancer or coming up with a new, revolutionary branch of cosmology?
—concocting a plan to end the stalemate in the Middle East?
—devising an all-inclusive religion that will help humankind attain its destiny in the stars?
Yes, indeed. You're the sort of inane, pathetic asshole who will happily pony up fifteen bucks to see any piece of crap movie and rationalize it afterward: "Yeah, I knew it was just fluff…" Your NetFlix queue would make a twelve year old blush in terms of its sheer vapidity. "Transformers 3", "Fast & Furious 6″…how about: I/Q. 68.
At what point do you draw the line? What, and I'm deadly serious, is too stupid even for your egregiously short attention span and under-developed forebrain?
How far would you go for a look, the most fleeting glance, at a celeb's nether regions?
And how much would you be dumb enough to pay?
More crazy search terms
Some years back I posted about the search terms people employ and (somehow) end up at this site. There have been some humdingers.
My personal favorite is "self-pissing for pleasure". Now that is one particular kink that has never crossed my mind. Apparently people don these rubber suits and—
Forget it. I can see from the expression on your face you're not ready to hear the rest of it.
This installment features terms drawn from the past 6-8 months.
Stuff like:
"unicorn transparent" (great name for an anthology of bad fantasy tales)
"beautiful man hands"
"scene of necrofile sex"
"pones of slpeen grils beming fuck" (still awaiting translation on that one)
"beautiful prostitutes"
"literary agents are fucking idiots" (dude after my own heart)
"cliff sex and other cartons"
"Pissing mouth sci fi porno"
…and, finally, my two favorites this time around:
"desolate vagina"
"I'm fucking fat"

…and it snowed, and snowed…
We've had more snow this winter than in at least a decade. We've broken one snow shovel, shaken our fists at the sky and moved God knows how many tons of snow from our sidewalks and property. And, of course, this much snow means a big run-off come Spring. It's a good thing we're situated on a fairly substantial hill—hopefully the water will flow down and away from us.
I notice that at 49, snow shoveling is a whole lot less fun than it used to be. I have to take frequent breaks, lean on my shovel, gazing glumly at the white expanse in front of me. Our long driveway has become my nemesis; I joke that it's an alternative landing strip for the space shuttle. I say even worse things when I'm scraping it off at thirty below. Because as well as being a snowy winter in these parts, it's also been seasonably cold. Note the choice of words. We've gotten off lucky for the past few years, experiencing relatively mild cold seasons. Not this year. 2012-13, we're getting the real deal. Saskatchewan at its most nasty and inclement.
In the old days, the cold never got to me. I could play road hockey with my pals until our clothes were frozen stiff as cardboard, our cheeks and noses raw and inflamed. Not any more. My body has developed a strange sensitivity over the past decade and I'm prone to awful chills, getting the shakes so bad my jaw locks tight and my body stiffens, arms clamped against my sides, shoulders up around my ears.
I think I'm starting to understand why so many Canadians become "snowbirds", fleeing to warmer climes as soon as the first Arctic front descends from the north.
But this is Canada, after all, and whining about the cold weather is like complaining that grapes won't grow on Pluto. There are certain realities you just have to adjust to, certain mentalities you have to adapt.
Be at one with the snow…become your shovel...
Keeping in mind, in six months we'll be bitching about the heat and bugs.
On that happy note…Cheers!
Ten questions for the author
I receive a good number of private communications from readers, colleagues, aspiring writers and the occasional troll.
I've put together a short roster of the best of the best of these queries and my responses (though, in some cases I've pared the original question down and added more detail to my replies).
Here are the top ten:
What's the difference between calling yourself a "self-publisher" and an "independent author"?
In a word, talent. Oh, and professional credentials. Oh, and the seriousness with which you approach your craft.
Before I started my own imprint back in 1990, I'd already received a Canada Council grant and published a good number of tales in various venues around the world. I toiled every day on my writing and though the money was almost nonexistent, I didn't care, it was all about becoming the best writer I could possibly be. I was focused, obsessed with my work. I created Black Dog Press because I detected a dearth of vision and intelligence among the editors I was dealing with and since I'm the kind of guy who doesn't take rejection lying down, I decided to empower myself, rather than accept the verdict of dingbats.
Most self-publishers, however, are hobbyists, part-timers, dolts with little knowledge of what entails good writing, they merely want to see their name on a book, regardless if it's any good. They don't labor over their work, endlessly polishing and editing, growing and developing as artists. Such notions are beneath them. Some have the decency to confine themselves to giving copies of their amateurish efforts to friends and family and I have no bone to pick with them. It's the morons who've written a memoir about their so-called interesting life or a spin-off novel lifted from some popular franchise and are deluded enough to believe they are "real" writers that raise my ire.
Why are you such an asshole?
Yes, I've received a number of communications along these lines, usually from the aforementioned amateurs and wannabes. They demand that I take their vampire porn or zombie splatter or "poor me" memoirs seriously and resent the notion of applying professional standards (y'know, like spelling, syntax, grammar) to their abominable tripe.
To them, there's no difference between great writing and garbage, since such standards are arbitrary and unfair (usually they have trouble with big words like "arbitrary", but I digress). As I've written previously, I have nothing against aspiring writers, beginners, folks who genuinely care about the printed word and want to create the best work they can. It's the ones who foolishly believe their 10-book vampire series (released as super cheap/free e-books to inflate their "sales") is imbued with true genius that I take exception to…and vilify accordingly. They read shit, they watch shit, they write shit. I dismiss (and diss) them out of hand. They are part-time turd-peddlers and pretenders and they deserve nothing but contempt. And I give it to them…in spades.
How much money do you make?
Seriously? Dude, you think I'm gonna open my bank records to you? Let's just say that if you got into writing (or any art) for the money, you're a fucking prostitute, and I mean the kind of gutter trash that solicits around public toilets and drops to their knees at the slightest indication of praise or approval.
I doubt I'll ever become rich from my writing but a number of my favorite writers lived and died in poverty and anonymity, yet their body of work out-lives them and most of their popular contemporaries. I'm in this for the long haul and will trust posterity to determine my stature as an artist. I've stated on numerous occasions that I'd rather have a million readers than a million dollars and anyone who knows me is well aware that I'm not joking or resorting to hyperbole. I'm an author's author…and it's unlikely that the fuckwits who read Fifty Shades of Grey will have much affinity for my work.
No regrets there.
You've been called an "elitist"–do you agree?
Yup. No question. I place high standards on my work, set the bar higher and higher with each new effort. I don't confine myself to formula and refuse to cater to anyone's expectations. Sales figures (see above) are irrelevant, the most important thing is releasing a work that is a celebration of the best in literature, a novel, poem or short story that pushes me to the limits of my abilities and sometimes beyond.
I write with intelligence and insight and I demand that from every film, book or artwork I see. I don't waste my time on "popcorn movies", mind candy or escapist entertainment. I feed my spirit and get inspired by innovative, original work.
Are you a horror writer? A fantasy or science fiction writer? How do you categorize yourself?
Well, I don't. Not really. I utilize some of the devices and tropes from all three of the genres you mentioned but only to further the aims of my storylines. I suppose you could also call me a fabulist or surrealist…but I think any niches or slots are distinctly unhelpful when it comes to work as singular and unusual as mine.
I'm a literary writer, that's the way I perceive myself. As for the rest…
I really think you'd like my writing. Can I send some of my stuff your way to critique?
No. Absolutely not. It's not my role to be your editor or ego booster. Real writers write and that's that. A thousand rejections and the opinions of others should have absolutely no effect on you if you're truly devoted to the calling. Nabokov talked about "writing in defiance of all the world's muteness" and that's advice you should take to heart. Write and write and write. If you need feedback, there are plenty of opportunities for that through local writing groups and guilds and God knows how many on-line venues where up and coming writers gather to talk turkey and swap story samples. But leave the pros alone. We have our own schedules, deadlines and pressing projects. Don't annoy us with your self-centered, egotistical lobbying.
You seem to genuinely hate traditional publishing and your harsh language must have drawn their attention. Don't you worry about ruining your chances of becoming a truly famous writer?
Yes, I've heard through the grapevine that some of my remarks have made poobahs in publishing extremely cranky with me. How dare I question their intelligence, their professionalism, their psychopathology and their integrity? But, see, I've dealt with these bird-brains (editors, agents, publishers) for over twenty years and as I wrote in a recent post on RedRoom, I despise the vast majority of them. I hope I run into a few of the biggest arseholes before my arthritic hands wreck my chances of punching their fucking lights out. A substantial proportion of the people who decide what books get published are too stupid to be trusted with sharp objects and should be, if there was any justice in the world, employed as assistant managers of a fast food restaurant, a job more befitting their low intelligence quotient and lousy inter-personal skills.
As for being famous…it just isn't a priority. Obviously.
I want to become an independent author too–how do I get started?
First of all, I wish you'd take a long, hard look at your work and decide, as objectively as possible, if you have anything to contribute to literature. Is your writing really that unique and unprecedented? Is it even literate? Have you spent years learning the craft of editing, ruthlessly paring and polishing your poetry/prose until it shines? There are quite enough bad, self-published books out there, why contribute to the dung pile?
But, really, if you're determined, there are sites you can go to for advice (a couple are on my blog roll). A good ol' Google search under "independent writing and publishing" will probably take you somewhere helpful. It's a long, arduous process and the learning curve can be steep. And once your book is published, then you're faced with marketing and distribution—and good luck getting your self-published offering into most book stores. I still find it a chore and I've been at it a long time.
Why are you so jealous of writers more successful than you (i.e. Amanda Hocking, Stephenie Meyer, E.L. James)?
Jealous of…? Er, no, I'm not jealous of rich writers or sub-literate authors who manage to score a book deal. Literary whores with the skill set of a Grade Eight diarist and the aesthetics of a village idiot. Personally, I'm envious of scribes whose talent leaves me gasping like a fish washed up on some sandy shore. I'm referring to giants like Thomas Pynchon, James Crumley, Don DeLillo, Annie Dillard—artists of the highest caliber, whose books will stand the test of time. I labor in the shadow of greatness. Daunting? You betcha. But it's a challenge I accept every time I enter my home office, sit at my desk and commence another day of work. I crave to be an author of stature. And that has nothing to do with the size of my bank account.
I sense you're a lonely, bitter, isolated man. Is that an accurate representation?
I'm still chuckling over this one. I don't think the correspondent in question was trying to be offensive or "trolling", merely curious and so my response was quite tolerant (for me).
I've been a loner all my life and require little in the way of companionship. I belong to no professional writing organizations, nor do I seek out other authors to befriend or chat up. I've been happily married for over 20 years and have two teenage sons. Between my work and my family, there's little time left over for leisure or company. It's just never been a priority to me. I have a small, intimate circle of friends who are fiercely loyal and who have been around me long enough to inspire my affection and trust. They understand my hectic schedule and introspective lifestyle and place no demands on me. But they also know I'm the kind of guy who'd walk through a wall of fire for a loved one and would defend a pal to my dying breath. It's the Scotch/Irish in me, I suppose. The rage, the violence…and the passion I bring to every aspect of my life. Those who know and love me respect that and tolerate the long silences that are part and parcel of my calling.
As for everyone else…who cares what they think or believe? They don't know me and I don't spare a moment for their views and opinions.
Fuck 'em.

Chapter 44.1Mature
Ten minutes later, Robert was dressing while Beth remained sat in bed, awake now.
"What exactly is it you need to do?" she asked, holding the covers to her front.
"Make sure that we have a record of every piece of evidence we've collected," he said as he pulled on a t-shirt.
"What, ever?"
"How long is that going to take?"
He grinned. "A while." Beth couldn't help but pout a little. "Don't sulk; you could come with me."
Her face instantly broke out into a grin and, leaping from under the covers, she pulled some clothes out of the bag Robert had brought.
He laughed, catching her wrist and spinning her to him. A quiet yelp escaped from her mouth as she was suddenly moving through the air. She giggled as she looked up at him, biting her lip slightly. His thumb tugged her bottom lip free from the grasp of her teeth.
He kissed her slowly, letting his tongue slip between her lips. She moaned, letting him. After a short moment, he pulled away.
"We might not make it out of the room at this rate," he whispered.
"Sounds good to me."
He laughed quietly. "I have a job to do."
She frowned at him a little before laughing and finishing dressing.
When she was fully dressed in a dark blue t-shirt and jeans, she slipped her hand into hers, standing on her tip-toes so she could kiss him briefly.
He kissed her back and led her out of the room. The living room was empty except for Onyx, who was asleep on one of the sofas.
Robert held a finger to his lips, telling her to be quiet. She said nothing until they were in the long corridor again and the door was shut.
"Is he okay?" she asked, worrying.
"He'll be fine. After last night's gas leak was sorted, Onyx went around and checked all the other pipes, as well as going through all the footage from the past day or so to make sure no one had tampered."
"You're expecting the pipes to have been messed with?" she asked, surprised.
He shook his head. "You can never be sure. But those gas pipes are designed not to even bend under the most amount of pressure possible."
"Oh, I see."
Robert went to another door on the other side of the hallway, typing in a code. He opened it wide for her to enter first.
"Woah," she breathed, walking further in.
The room was... huge. Too big to even be called a room, more like a great hall or something. She couldn't see how far back it extended but there were four rows of large shelves. The shelves were a couple of metres tall, at least, and never seemed to end as they stretched further and further out. This is a warehouse, Beth realised.
"You can't hope to get all this done in one day," Beth said to him.
He laughed, grinning. "I don't. That's why I drafted in some of the others."
"The evidence room is Elijah's responsibility and we dragged Jay, Grim, Lucas and Eko."

Close above 5,620 on the Nifty maybe the first sign of recovery
It remains to be seen whether the company can turn itself around after settling issues with the US Department of Justice even as it managed to narrow its net loss in the June quarter
Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd said its net loss during the first quarter narrowed to Rs608.8 crore on depreciation of Indian rupee and change in accounting standards.
For the quarter to end-June, the drug maker, a unit of Japanese Daiichi Sankyo Co Ltd said its net loss narrowed to Rs608.9 crore from Rs925.7 crore while its total revenues, including sales, declined to Rs1469.9 crore from Rs1587 crore, same period last year.
Arun Sawhney, chief executive and managing director of Ranbaxy, said, "We successfully concluded the previously disclosed investigation by the US Department of Justice (DOJ). With the payment of $500 million provisioned earlier, we have settled both the civil and criminal settlements with the DOJ. This should allow us to focus our resources and energies to drive future growth."
During the quarter, the drug maker's revenues from API business increased 31% to Rs226.3 crore driven by focus on select markets and product mix. During the quarter, the company filed one ANDA was filed for the US market.
Sales in north America, during the June quarter, was Rs851.6 million, lower than last year, due to expiry of select exclusivities. However, it has a strong sales base in Absorica. The company says that its market share gain in Absorica, isotretenonin NDA has been promising and it holds a share of 13.7%, overall.
Some key highlights of Ranbaxy products are:
The exclusivity period for Pioglitazone hydrochloride authorised generic came to an end in mid-February 2013 and the company holds a market share of 24%;
Ranbaxy has 43% market share in Cevimeline hydrochloride 30 milligrams capsules in the US market.
Ranbaxy closed Wednesday 4.6% up at Rs281.9 on the BSE, while the 30-share Sensex ended the day marginally down at 18664.9.
The company's overseas division, Jaguar Land Rover, has done exceptionally well, largely thanks to rupee depreciation and higher sales take off leading to an 8% increase in revenues
Tata Motors reported a first quarter consolidated net profit of Rs1,726 crore from Rs2,245 crore despite 8% increase in its revenues mainly due to poor sales in India.
For the quarter to end-June, the automaker said its total revenues, including sales, grew 8% to Rs46,785 crore on consolidated basis. "The business was affected by a weak operating environment in the standalone business, but it was offset by strong demand, growth in volumes, richer product mix and favourable foreign exchange at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR)," the company said in a release.
During the quarter, the Tata group company said its sales, including exports fell 19% to 1.54 lakh units as weak macro-economic environment and competitive pressures on pricing, continued to impact the operations during the quarter.
Jaguar Land Rover has performed well, largely thanks to depreciating rupee. Following strong response to its new products and powertrain options, Jaguar's wholesales and retail volumes grew 57.8% and 28% to 18,577 units and 17,459 units, respectively during the June quarter.
On Wednesday, Tata Motors ended 2.96% down at Rs278.8 on the BSE, while the benchmark Sensex ended marginally down at 18664.9.

Maria V. Snyder Quotes About HeartQuotes about: Heart
Yelena, you've driven me crazy. You've caused me considerable trouble and I've contemplated ending your life twice since I've known you." Valek's warm breath in my ear sent a shiver down my spine. "But you've slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart." "That sounds more like a poison than a person," was all I could say. His confession had both shocked and thrilled me. "Exactly," Valek replied. "You have poisoned me.
In fact, he's never taken an interest in a woman before. I was beginning to to suspect he might prefer one of his male sneaks, but now..." She paused dramatically. "Now, we have the lovely, intelligent Yelena to get Valek's cold heart pumping." "You really should get out of your sewing room more. You need fresh air and a dose of reality," I said knowing better than to believe a word Dilana said, but unable to control the silly little grin on my face. Her sweet, melodious laughter followed me into the hallway. "You know I'm right, " she called.
Anything else you want to tell me?" I asked Valek as we stopped a few feet short of the castle's south entrance. "Did Ari and Janco set me up for Nix's attack? Do you have another test of loyalty for me up your sleeve? Maybe the next time, I'll actually fail. A prospect that seems appealing!" I pushed away Valek's supporting arm. "When you warned me that you would test me from time to time, I thought you meant spiking my food. But it seems there is more than one way to poison a person's heart, and it doesn't even require a meal.

There's no place like home, there's no place like home. And just like that, coach Wayne Bennett has clicked his heels and will return to Red Hill to guide the Brisbane Broncos again.
The only coach the Broncos knew for their first 21 years of existence will return to the club after three years each at both St George Illawarra and Newcastle. Bennett won six premierships with the Broncos and his towering legacy has loomed large over the club for the six seasons Ivan Henjak and Anthony Griffin have held the reins since.
Neither have been able to escape Bennett's shadow. After 19 straight seasons of finals football, Brisbane have missed the play-offs in two of the five completed seasons since Bennett moved south. Big name recruits have chosen elsewhere when Brisbane was always the place to be with Bennett at the helm. The lustre has gone. And that is why the Broncos needed Wayne back. The club needed the polish that only Bennett can bring.
There has been some pain in the process. Griffin hasn't been spectacular but he has guided the club to a preliminary final, has a 46-37-1 record and has them primed for another finals showing. Chief executive Paul White was professionally castrated by his board who kept him out of all negotiations until a deal was reached over the weekend. Club legends like Gorden Tallis, who were so against Bennett's return, have been marginalised. Uncertainty exists at all levels of the club with Bennett given the green light to bring in his own people. It was the only play the Broncos could afford though.
The Broncos didn't need just a tactically astute coach. They couldn't afford someone the players just liked. It is not in their DNA to settle for mid-tier recruits, mid-table finishes and mid-range targets.
While Bennett proved himself to be human when he never quite made the cut at Newcastle, he won a premiership as recently as five years ago and he is the architect of what made the Broncos the Broncos. Wayne Bennett not only knows the club's DNA, he is the club's DNA.
The tough decisions will once again be made. The right people will be in the right positions. Mediocrity will once again be something for other clubs to accept.
It is a move, however, not without risk. Bennett will be 65 when the 2015 season kicks off. Arthur 'Pony' Halloway is the oldest coach to win a title, doing so at 60 in 1945, along with Bennett, who was 60 when the Dragons won in 2010. During the NRL era, the average age of premiership coaches has been 47 with Bennett one of just two coaches to win a title beyond the age of 52.
Returning to a former club is also a rarity in rugby league. Only seven coaches with over 100 games experience have done it and three – Bob Fulton, Charlie Lynch and Norm Robinson – did it without ever coaching elsewhere. Alan Fitzgibbon returned to Illawarra only on an interim basis. Pony Halloway and Frank Burge did it prior to mandatory grand finals. Only Jack Gibson has left and returned in the modern era, doing so with the Roosters, winning his first two premierships in his second stint. No coach in rugby league history has attempted what Bennett has though.
The ramifications of Bennett's move will be felt well beyond Brisbane as well. Newcastle must start again and to a degree there is a feeling that they were ripped off. They will lose one of their best players in Darius Boyd and must begin from a position that is arguably worse than when Bennett signed. To have the announcement that Bennett was signing with Brisbane a day after the emotional #RiseForAlex weekend will leave a sour taste in many mouths.
The Dragons thought they had their man. They fired incumbent Steve Price. Interim coach Paul McGregor has been strung along. The fans have been left gutted, sensing a return to glory but being left with an uncertain coaching situation and a worrying roster.
The Warriors were a lot closer to winning Bennett's signature than many realise. The Titans had designs on Bennett as well and were getting their ducks in order.
Anthony Griffin now very much comes into the mix at the Knights, Dragons and even the Wests Tigers and Gold Coast, where Mick Potter and John Cartwright are under pressure.
Rosters across the league will also be shaken up. Boyd is out of Newcastle and could join the long list of full-backs at the Broncos. A host of others could follow. Big-name free agents are also back in the mix with the Broncos. Daly Cherry-Evans is one the club will pursue next year. There will be others.
The Broncos roster is also far from safe. Bennett has always had an aversion to props on big money, not a good sign for Martin Kennedy or Josh McGuire, both who are on deals worth over $300,000. The abundance of full-backs could spell the end of Josh Hoffman, who has asked for a release at any rate.
No other figure in the game could create such premiership-wide waves. But Wayne Bennett is arguably the greatest coach of all and in an era when the head coach is the single most important figure in the club, Benny heading home up the emerald path is the biggest news to hit the backpages this year.

Core Image is an image processing and analysis technology designed to provide high-performance processing for still and video images.
Getting Started with Core Image
Use Core Image classes to:
Process images using the many built-in image filters
Chain together filters and then archive them for later use
Detect features (such as faces and eyes) in still and video images, and track faces in video images
Analyze images to get a set of auto adjustment filters
Create custom filters for use in your app
In macOS, you can also package custom filters as Image Units that you can publish for use by others. For details, see Image Unit Tutorial.
