The Rev David Gilmore, from St Anne's Anglican Church in Soho, was called to court over the closure of two flats used by prostitutes.
Police claim the premises in Dean Street provide a haven for drug dealers and thieves and are seeking to close them permamently.
Mr Gilmore gave evidence at Westminster magistrates' court on behalf of the prostitutes after being called by their lawyer.
The brothel was temporarily shut two weeks ago and magistrates will decide whether to make the closure permanent.
Speaking in court, Mr Gilmore claimed he had seen no difference in the level of drug dealing since the brothel was closed.
"I live five doors away from the brothel. I have seen drug dealing going on opposite the rectory but I have never seen drug dealing going on outside [the brothel]," he said.
"Soho has a problem with drug dealing given the nature of the area with clubs and everywhere else — it happens."
He said his church suffers from the same problems: "CCTV has picked up 20 people who entered the church alleyway and were using the premises to deal drugs."
Residents, bar staff, shop owners and restaurateurs in the area have also complained about the closure and claim sex workers are an integral part of Soho, according to the English Collective of Prostitutes. The court also heard from Eileen Ravi, one of the prostitutes working in the Dean Street brothel.
"The closure would lead to the loss of my income and the place I stay for six months a year," she said.
Lucy Collins, who works with the prostitutes, said she had never seen any crime because the place was comprehensively monitored by CCTV and fitted with a Tannoy that was used to get rid of troublesome visitors.
Mark Ford, who lives nearby, said: "Drug dealing goes on in dark corners. I live in a dark place opposite a primary school and I feel the school should be more answerable to drug dealing than the girls [at the brothel].
"They have a well-lit property but the junior school is a nasty, dark little alcove where I have seen people shooting up and I have seen people being beaten up."
But Sergeant Dean Else told the court the first and second-floor flats were issued with a closure notice two weeks ago because of persistent anti-social behaviour, drug dealing and theft outside the property.
Applying for a permanent closure, he said the communal door to the brothel was left open, giving a secluded space for drug dealers and users. The court heard one thief left a man with his wrists slashed on the stairway.
Sgt Else said: "This is not about persecuting them because they are prostitutes."
A prostitutes' collective spokeswoman said she feared police were targeting Soho and more closures could follow. Another brothel was closed last month.
She said women could have to work the streets instead of safer flats — where there had never been a murder. A woman evicted from a brothel in 2002 was killed by the "Camden ripper".
The court will decide whether to approve the closure application tomorrow.Reuse content

Successful organizations adapt. They acquire, merge, split, enter new markets, adopt new business models, discard old ethos and sometimes change their very DNA. This isn't easy – aligning people, processes, and technology with every change in business strategy requires nimbleness that very few possess, and fewer still excel in.

PUTRAJAYA (Bernama) – Malaysia has condemned the so-called Islamic State militant group (IS) for its brutality in torching to death a captive Jordanian Air Force pilot.
The IS released a video purportedly showing the burning alive of Muath Kasaesbeh who
was captured on Dec 24 after his plane crashed in Hamra Ghannam, Syria.
It has been described as the IS' most brutal execution yet of a foreign hostage. In a statement, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman described Malaysia's shock at the crime of despicable barbarity which manifested IS' cycle of violence and contempt against humanity.
"Malaysia is united with the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as well as the Jordanian people in this moment of shock and sorrow while condemning strongly the senseless barbarity and terror tactics," he said.

Tetra Treasure Chamber can be accessed by giving 1 Platinum Coupon to Ivan Popovichi at Coimbra Nimrod Bridge (J9). You will be warped into a room with lots of Treasure Phobitans where you can kill and loot for 3 minutes. The first room contains a warp portal to the 2nd room, which in turn contains a warp portal to the 3rd room. Each use of the warp portal requires 1 additional Platinum Coupon. This is essentially a higher version of Al Quelt Moreza Treasure Chamber.
The Lv.50 monsters in the 1st room drop Refined Ionium and Lv.52 equipment. The Lv.60 monsters in the 2nd room drop Refined Aidanium and Lv.64 equipment. The Lv.70 monsters in the 3rd room drop Bulk of Silver and Lv.72 equipment.
Although used in some quests and mid-level elite recipes, these ores are easily available in Gigante Beach or Fire Island Free Zone. So, Platinum Coupons are not really useful.
P/S: Yes, this is a very old feature of the game, but I got nothing else to write about, so meh...

Master Bathroom Pictures From HGTV Urban Oasis 2015

Blue and White, Just Right
There's an effortless transition from the master bedroom into the master bathroom, where interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn continues the color story of classic red, white and blue.
Serene Soaking Spot
Navy porcelain tile engulfs this crisp white soaking tub, while a corner of windows introduces relaxing scenery. Beside the tub is a locally-sourced vintage stool to set a lavender plant or other bath time amenities.
Spa-Like Faucet
Sleek and modern, this chrome tub filler comes straight out from the wall for a piece that's as dramatic as it is functional.
Privacy Drapes
"I love a modern bathroom, just because it's so simple," says Brian. By adding custom roman shades in a classic blue stripe, the room is elevated to a warm and inviting space.
Clever Hooks
Hanging hooks are a must for plush robes and damp towels.
Classic Combination
"The master bathroom is super classic," says Brian. "It's covered in white and the ceiling is clad in the same wood used in the master bedroom."
Handheld Shower System
A multifunction hand shower in polished chrome conserves water while offering wide, medium and concentrated spray coverage.
Shelf Help
"The shower has an incorporated shelf, which is perfect for holding shampoos and toiletries," explains Brian.
Vanity Flair
The white floating double vanity offers clean sleek lines and three spacious cabinets, ideal for under-counter storage.
Faucet Favorite
A modern faucet with simple, clean lines brings a sleek, minimalist look to the navy porcelain backsplash.
Artful Details
Two pieces of folk art hang beside the vanity for a playful touch. "It's a very grown-up bathroom so I decided to take it down a notch with playful art," says Brian.
Flooring Worth Adoring
White hexagon mosaic marble flooring and sleek cabinetry informs the bathroom's clean color palette.
Wild Wall Art
No animals were harmed making the acrylic antlers. Interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn chose antlers for an organic farmhouse vibe that's echoed throughout the house.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the principal yeast used in modern fermentation processes, including winemaking, breadmaking, and brewing. From residue present inside one of the earliest known wine jars from Egypt, we have extracted, amplified, and sequenced ribosomal DNA from S.cerevisiae. These results indicate that this organism was probably responsible for wine fermentation by at least 3150 B.C. This inference has major implications for the evolution of bread and beer yeasts, since it suggests that S. cerevisiae yeast, which occurs naturally on the surface bloom of grapes, was also used as an inoculum to ferment cereal products.

It is the halfway point in the year, and I wanted to take a moment to throw out some more personal observations for those who may find them interesting enough to read, or something to ponder over your morning coffee and donuts.
My Q1 observations are here. Please ignore the mistake I made in the URL, but I did see it after publishing and corrected the title ;-)
The Metaverse is doing very well. Much has happened in the past 3 months. You can also look at the sidebars for further places to go read up on current things, if you wish.
Kitely, as you can see on their blog, has been moving forward with quite a bit of innovation.
I was especially pleased to see them enable hypergating. A hypergate connected Metaverse is my primary focus and motivation for staying involved, so the more who see this for its value, the better, to my eyes.
It is worth your time to read up on them, I promise.
As Kitely is a commercial style OpenSim grid, it is an important paradigm changer for the Owners to not only do quite a bit of coding work behind the scenes in order to make it work for permissions and such other commercial type aspects, but to see that enabling hypergating is a forward and progressive way to move ahead.
They are also involved in Core OS improvements, as noted here, where you can find the main Kitely programmer listed as orenh1, and where you can also note other contributors and read the various things done, most of which is completely over my own head...lol
As well, they enabled delivery from the marketplace to any grids who wish to receive content from their creators. This, in turn, has not only given the rest of the Meta legally licensed content previously only available in the closed sl commercial style grids [or in SL] but has also given content creators a vast new market to sell to.
This is a very important development for the Metaverse and I expect to see other currently closed sl clone type grids to follow, or, if not, to eventually fail. But this is the way of technology.
My personal hosting company for my regions, Zetamex, has been making various changes in their business model as the tech moves forward, and I am still very satisfied with what they do, and their customer service. They recently added support for the new VarRegions and Bullet physics which was added to OpenSim, as noted here with information on .8.
I have my Zetamex regions hosted inside Metropolis and I still very much enjoy the grid, the people in it, the spirit of sharing and the vision of the admins. Metropolis is the HUB of the free Meta, with several roleplaying regions, historical recreations, events, Artistic endeavours and an upcoming Democratically elected grid management team which the details are still being discussed.
Even though both Metropolis and Kitely have few total numbers, they are alive with activity which keeps me more than busy with the time I have to spare.
As it is on the hypergates, I can HG out to other places as events come up, such as Kitely, FrancoGrid, Craft-World, etc. Hypergating is so freeing and appeals to the old flower child in me.
As noted above, the latest released version of OpenSim is .8. This version is a rather large one and includes several major changes and enhancements. One is the move to Bullet physics as the default [while still allowing people to continue using ODE physics by changing some lines in their OS files [forgive me, that tech is beyond me]. The other major change is the integration of VarRegions into core.
VarRegions, from this layman's perspective, allow very large land masses that have no typical 256x256 region border issues, as there are none up to the size of whatever one wishes to make them, only limited by computer resources, afaik.
While one grid, inwz, continues to try and keep people misinformed of the full nature of these improvements and innovations, mainly by insisting it is better to simply keep the standard SL created region sizes and work on making the border crossings seamless, the VarRegions just blow on past such antiquated old-tech notions.
To be fair, however, inwz has invested quite a bit of time on their coding efforts in this regard, so it is clearly in their best interests to maintain this illusion. Which is fine. It is, however, my opinion that relying on, and trying to improve, [what is it exactly?] 10-13 year old technical limitations is rather self-defeating, but that is just my own subjective non-tech thinking.
The rest of OS now has the option, and many have already updated or are in the process of updating, to keep up with the current tech innovations. I see this as the simple march of software and I find it fun and interesting to be involved with, even as the simple end user of it as I am.
Recently, and still with an ongoing debate, Linden Lab, owners of SL, have announced some future changes. Some discussion can be seen here in a Firestorm Viewer blog on the matter. My personal take on this latest issue there is that it is, again, good for the rest of the Meta. It is my observation that many current SL residents are looking for options and only need a slight push/suggestions to show them there are such options, and they can see for themselves.
What the future holds, of course, is anyone's guess. Technology is a moving thing, often paradigm changers happen that result in all previous software becoming obsolete. Being an old time computer user, this has always been the fun part for me, but also having become rather set in my ways over time, I do find some aspects hard to keep up with.
The Occulus Rift buyout by Facebook will likely change the face of VR within the next year or so, and such that the entry costs may become something people such as myself, on fixed incomes, will no longer be able to afford. But this is hard to foresee since we know that as software often comes down in pricing with larger markets opening up, so will the hardware, just as computers themselves have done over time.
On the other hand, there has been some interesting work done with browser based VR simulations, as noted in this HyperGrid Business article. I actually tried this, as noted in the comment section.
In any case, this is just some quick observations on the state of some aspects of VR, as I see it now...how I will see it in the future is for the future to show me.

When Silence is Sweeter
A boy. A girl. Neither had to say a word.
Today was not a good day to be late for your first day of work. But of course its always when you need a day where things go right that your day starts off in the worst of luck. I really do need a car. I think everyone has a car but me. And while everyone gets to go hang out and have fun this summer, I'm stuck with a job. Not so great. And I love how you seem to be the newest attraction at the zoo whenever I step onto the bus. I'm no animal, people, I promise. But I bet I look as messy as one; only waking up about twenty minutes ago. I used to be so excited to be out of school finally and spend all my summer doing nothing but sleep and eat and catch up on movies, but as soon as reality struck, I lost all of that.
Shifting uneasily in my plastic seat by the window, I silently begged for the bus driver to pick up the pace. I was nearly out of my seat and climbing my way toward the front of the bus when he finally stopped at the side of the street. Despite the morning rainstorm, I rushed out and sprinted across the street and ducked into the overhead banister under the café. I shrugged off my wet jacket and took a deep breath. When I peered inside the restaurant, I could see silhouettes of people walking back and forth. I didn't really feel like going inside, but I knew I had to. First day of the job.
Digging around in my pocket, I fished out my name tag and clipped it on. I reluctantly walked inside. The restaurant was pretty busy, like I fretted. I could feel my stomach turn a little.
"Where've you been? You're late, Haley." my new boss started, walking up toward me from the serving desk. He gave me a weird look.
I'm gonna get fired on my first day?
"The bus was running late, so I, uh, I couldn't really get here. But I'm so sorry, I'll start right now." I explained, swallowing hard, nervous of what he might say. He just nodded, not caring about my excuse and pointed to an empty table, going off to the back counter. I'm safe. For now.
I know being a buss girl isn't that great, but its something. And maybe I'll get to work in the kitchen one day. At least then my summer wouldn't be so boring all day. I know kids who get to work at the beach or the movies, and actually get to enjoy the work they do. I'm not quite as lucky, but all money's the same, so I won't complain.
I got to work, following after the departing visitors, cleaning and clearing the table for new customers. I didn't mind cleaning that much, it was actually relaxing. And being in the downtown part of the city was new for me. Time seemed to fly by quite quickly and it was almost time for my first lunch break. I was finishing my hundredth table and glanced at the clock.
I saw a five dollar bill drop to the floor beside me on the floor. I looked up and saw someone walk past.
"Excuse me." I asked, picking up the money and holding it out. It looked like a tip that fell off the table. They continued to walk, so I caught up and touched their arm to make them stop. "Hello?" They turned around.
The dollar's lost owner was a server here at the café. And a cute one at that. Wow, he looks...
"I think you dropped this." I spoke, unable to look at him directly in his eyes.
He smiled at me for what seemed like a long moment. I just stood there like an idiot, holding the dollar bill in my hand. Um.
"Did you drop this? Maybe out of your pocket?" I asked again, holding it out for him.
The server looked down at the money and looked back at me, uninterested. I guess it wasn't his?
"You should take it though, you deserve it." I spoke louder, hoping he would listen. Wow, that's so stupid to say. I can't just hand out free money to strangers.
He looked so innocent with that smile. But his square, masculine face showed that he was much older than his childish smile. But I still don't know why he didn't answer me.
Was something wrong? I quickly assumed it was something gross that was on my face.
He politely held out his hands palm forward to me and shook his head slightly, as if he meant to say no. Then he turned around and continued to walk back toward the kitchen, scrubbing the dish counter as if nothing had happened.
I guess he didn't want it. That was kinda embarrassing.
When I sat down in the booth, I realized I was smiling. I took a quick look back at the server and watched him weave around the room, running a washcloth over some empty tables that I had to finish cleaning. He was helping me buss the tables, which wasn't his part of the job. I couldn't help to watch him more, he was easy to look at. But after a minute or so, I snapped out of it, and finished cleaning.
As I was stacking the final dishes on the tray to take back to clean, I had a hard time balancing them in my washing bowl. I had made it halfway across the café, but before I could realize that a glass was going to fall off onto the floor, I saw him again. I was expecting a crash and everyone staring at me.
The glass didn't fall on the floor, he had caught it, along with another plate. There was a clank and splash of something. The soda inside the glass spilled all down my apron.
I had my eyes glued on him again. I didn't even care that a half cup of Coke was all over me. He seemed to laugh a little, taking the tray for me awkwardly and handing me a clean wash cloth. Then he jogged back to the kitchen again.
Did he just-? He's so strange.
Then again, I can't even carry dishes right. I feel so stupid.
Checking the clock, it was already one, and time for my break. The café wasn't busy, except for a few quiet visitors. I glanced around to try to find the server again, but I think he had disappeared. I just decided to find an unoccupied table and scrubbed at my shirt out of the sight of others, cursing my affinity to clumsiness. I opened my packed lunch of a tuna sandwich I made for myself this morning.
Two dishes clanked down onto the table in front of me. Mr. Cute Server Boy brought us both a plate of fries. Only knowing him - or seeing him - for about ten minutes, he already seemed to be everywhere I looked. I forgot about the soda on me and waved stupidly at him.
This makes up for my bad day. He's so nice.
"Thank you." I blurted, seeing him sit down across from me. I caught sight of his name tag. Caleb. My heart did a tiny flip in my chest. It sounded like the name of someone cute.
But still, he didn't seem to want to talk to me. Did I do something wrong? Caleb started to eat silently, looking up at me, with that same cute smile. I didn't really know what to do. It felt so uncomfortable sitting with someone who didn't want to talk to you. So why was he being so nice to me? I looked around us, trying to think of something to say without annoying him.
"Today's my first day. And I'm such a klutz, all the time, thanks for helping me back there," I paused and looked up. He still didn't seem interested, so I tried changing the subject. "But its a cool little restaurant. How long have you worked here?" If he didn't answer me this time, I was going to give up. I really want to talk to him. Please, please answer me.
While putting a fry in his mouth, he looked up and caught my eyes. I tried to keep my cheeks from burning. He motioned to his ear and shook his head. I noticed that his expression was somewhat confused. Then I saw him clearly mouth the words "I'm sorry".
I didn't really get it, so I just frowned. Caleb started to make some quick movements with his hands and fingers in a way I could not recognize. But something struck in my mind. I've seen that before - he was using sign language.
Now I think I understood. Caleb was deaf.
I felt a wave of regret hit me. I was getting so impatient with him when he couldn't even hear me. I thought he just didn't want to talk. Now I feel so bad. And I've only been talking about myself this whole time.
I just tried to gulf down some fries and think of what I should do. I couldn't help but think of how hard it must be. How could I talk to him? I kind of wanted to get up and leave, it felt horrible to sit here with such a sweet guy. But leaving would be hard if I can't stop staring at him.
Caleb took a napkin from the edge of the table and began to write something down on it with a pen he pulled out of his apron. He passed the napkin over the table to me.
don't feel bad
I looked up at him and he gave me a smile. He seemed to read my mind. I reached for the pen and scribbled a reply for him.
I don't know how to sign. :(
Caleb quickly wrote back to me.
most people don't, you don't have to. :)
I felt better seeing that written smiley face. I almost enjoyed it as much as his real smiles. He could smile a million times, I would never get tired of it. I loved seeing people smile, but his was different. It looked so genuine and real. What am I even saying? Hm.
then how can I thank you?
He chuckled softly.
I can read your lips. you're welcome.
I was about to write something back, but he started to write something else.
and i don't think you're a klutz. :)
I rolled my eyes. Not true.
but I don't think that soda must be comfortable
how do you sign "that's not funny"?
Caleb read what I wrote and chuckled more. I'm so glad that I could finally talk to him, even if we had to write it out. He was so cute. So cute. Yes, he really was that adorable.
But before we knew it, our twenty minutes were up and we had to get back to work. We had barely touched our lunch. But I took his plate and emptied it for him. I wish we had more time to talk. When I returned to the table, my phone was on the table, lit up. I looked at it and it said that I had a new text message. Looking around for my boss and not seeing him anywhere, I opened it and read it.
I gave myself your number so I can bother you while you keep being a klutz.
I thought of an amusing enough reply.
You have no idea how boring cleaning tables are haha!
Caleb didn't text back after that, though. I guess he was too busy, but that was okay. I still had a few hours left of cleaning, but I didn't mind at all. I turned on my mp3 player and bussed some more tables.
"Good job. See you same time tomorrow." my boss mentioned from behind me. I turned around to see him grab his coat and walk outside, leaving for the day. I guess coming in late didn't upset him.
I put away all my supplies and hung up my apron, grabbing my jacket and purse from the back room. Today was a good day actually, but I couldn't wait to get home. I thought about waiting up for Caleb, just to say good-bye, but I didn't see him anywhere. I checked my phone again and still no answer. He was probably cleaning dishes. I would help, but he would probably think I was stalking him. I'll see him tomorrow at least.
A little disappointed, I started for home. I crossed the street and sat down at the bus stop, searching my purse for some change. At least the rain had died down so it wasn't pouring, but it was still sprinkling just enough so my glasses would be studded with water droplets, making it too hard to see through them. Waiting for the bus, I opened up my phone's contacts and scrolled down the list of numbers I had. I was only halfway through the B's when I saw the bus drive up near the street a block down.
Just when I was going to try to catch it, I could see Caleb rush out of the café with his things and looked around as if he was looking for something. When he stopped in my direction, he jogged across the street to the bus stop. Oh no, don't come over here. I look hideous in this rain.
Caleb held out my mp3 player and placed it in my hand. I guess I had forgot it.
He had on a beanie hat. It looked good on him. And-
The bus's engine growled and its doors were closing. It was starting up and began to slowly roll away, without me in it. I sighed. No use in chasing after it unless I wanted to fall on my face.
He followed my gaze over at the bus that was driving away and looked back at me. Then he quickly took out his phone and began typing on it. Just like I thought, my phone vibrated in my pocket.
I can drive you home :)
Before I could reply, his hand was on my arm and he was leading me down the sidewalk. Server Boy let go of my arm when he reached the street, but I followed him around the café's parking lot to a small truck. When we got inside, I got a chance to text back.
I think I've said thank you to you a million times today already :)
He looked down at my text and just smiled.
It was a quiet ride. I couldn't imagine how much of a challenge driving could be for a deaf person who needed to pay extra attention to the road. I wasn't nervous at all, he seemed like an excellent driver, and I trusted him more than the bus driver. I wrote down the streets to take to get to my apartment on a sticky note 9and he was able to navigate well. It didn't take him long to find a route home while the rain picked up again. But I wish he could drive just a little slower.
I thought of how difficult communicating with him was. Texting and writing notes was a little more effortful than talking, and it didn't help much. There would be times where I wouldn't be able to text or write to him. And I doubt I could learn a whole new language soon. But you know what? Any form of communication with him would be worth it.
Caleb pulled into the parking lot of my apartment complex. The rain was pounding on the windows, it was hard to see much outside. He killed the engine and we sat together in silence. I couldn't tell if it was uncomfortable or not, I assumed it was weird for him, but I was more nervous than uncomfortable. I didn't want to look into his eyes. Anything but that. But I had to. I wanted to make sure he could understand what I was saying to him.
"This is the last nice thing you have to do for me, I promise. See you tomorrow?" I spoke slower than I usually do so he could read my lips.
He nodded and pointed to his cellphone.
"Call?" I asked, unsure.
He nodded again.
"I mean, text, sorry." Of course he wouldn't be able to call me. I'm so stupid.
Caleb just grinned at me, probably not catching my mumbling.
"I should get you a towel or something, you're so wet from the rain." I offered, slinging my purse over my shoulder and putting my hand on the car door. He looked like he was shivering.
He didn't really say anything, so I thought I could get him a towel or something at least so he wasn't so cold. The least I could do. I didn't realize that we had walked in the rain earlier, but the air conditioning had given me goosebumps in the car.
"Wait a minute, I'll be back." I sprinted to my room on the first floor and got it unlocked. I threw my stuff down on the kitchen table when I walked in and hurried around the apartment looking for a towel for him. When I found one by the washing machine, I hurried to give it to him.
But he was standing in the doorway.
"Oh, hi."
Caleb took a look around my place. I held out the towel for him and he signed a thank you to me. Then my cell phone rang.
"Sorry, uhm, hold on."
I answered my mum's call.
"Hey honey, how was your day? Good?" I heard her bubbly voice on the other line. I took a nervous glance back at Caleb who was drying off his hair by the kitchen table. She would kill me if she found out I brought a boy home without her knowing.
"Great mum, it was pretty fun."
"I knew it wouldn't be that bad. So I'm almost done here, want me to bring home some chinese? Or do you want to get some pizza maybe?"
"Chinese would be cool."
"Alright honey, home in a while. Bye."
She hung up and I wandered back into the kitchen. He was sitting patiently at the table. When he saw me come into the room, he smiled his classic smile. Ugh, I love it. Maybe a little too much.
But I couldn't help but wonder. Caleb probably isn't single, so I have to stop thinking like this. I swallowed hard. Despite his misfortune, he was funny and very sweet. And I just met him only this morning. His hair was awesome. Not that I think solely about looks, but wow.
He had to have a catch. Some people might consider his being deaf as the catch, but I don't. Maybe he's married. I think I would have noticed a ring. A girlfriend? Most likely. Even if thinking of him like this was stupid, I still had an urge to learn sign language just so I could surprise him.
My phone buzzed in my pocket again.
I guess I'll go, but I'll see you tomorrow.
Why does he have to go so soon? I frowned at my phone.
I got another message.
Nice meeting you. :)
I didn't really know what to say. My mind kept imagining what his girlfriend might look like. It sort of hurt to answer back. I avoided looking up at him across the kitchen table.
You too. :)
He walked over to the door, turned around back at me and opened the door.
Probably had to leave to make it for a date with his girlfriend. He would take her somewhere special and romantic. Maybe a picnic or the movies.
Caleb gave me one last smile and mouthed the words 'bye' before closing the door behind him. I stood there, as if staring at the door would help me see him better. But it didn't. The whole day's events played over in my head. My heart was pounding in my ears.
I know what this feeling was.
The door opened. Caleb slipped through the door and just looked at me. I just looked at him. He stepped forward and I closed my eyes. All I felt was a beautiful, half soaking-wet server boy kiss my cheek. I was afraid to open my eyes and see him leave. But I had to open my eyes and see him again. When I did though, he was already out the door. I stood there in surprise.
I guess he doesn't have a girlfriend.
I could feel my phone vibrate in my hand. I didn't have to look to see who it was.
I think I definitely like Mr. Cute Server Boy. And he didn't even have to say a word.

What is Medical Negligence?
"A patient is owed a 'duty of care' by the practitioner".
Angelina Rigby, medical negligence solicitor
Call us free on 0800 145 6852Start claim
Whatever injury you've sustained - physical or psychological, we're here to help. Click on one of the links below for more information on a specific type of medical negligence.
As a patient, you have a number of rights which apply regardless of the type of treatment you're receiving.
We've been helping people claim compensation for medical negligence since 1993. We've used our this experience to compile this list of frequently asked questions.
We do everything we can to make claiming compensation as straightforward as possible. This section of the site gives you a little bit more information on what makes us different.
Making a claim doesn't have to be the complicated, confusing process some people think it is. You can get started by clicking "Start Your Claim" below.
Have you suffered as a result of substandard or inappropriate medical treatment?
We believe that the victims of medical negligence deserve support and compensation for the pain and suffering they've experienced, and to cover the costs of future treatment or medical care.
Medical negligence (also known as clinical negligence) occurs when a patient is harmed, physically or psychologically, as a result of substandard or inappropriate treatment.
Medical or clinical negligence can mean a variety of things, from a doctor failing to identify an injury on an X-ray, to a patient being given the wrong medication.
Medical negligence could also mean your GP failing to refer you to a specialist, or receiving substandard care from your dentist, chiropractor, or physiotherapist.
Read our page on the different types of claim for more information.
We understand that if you've suffered as a result of medical negligence, you may be frustrated about what happened and the effect it's had on your life. You may also be confused about what to do next.
We'll help you understand your rights, how to get the answers you need, and whether or not you could be eligible to claim compensation.
If so, we'll find the right solicitor for your claim within minutes. Your solicitor will be a medical negligence specialist who can work for you on a no win no fee basis.
Whether you want to claim compensation or not, we can put you in touch with a number of organisations who provide additional support, including Action Against Medical Accidents (AvMA) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
We know that some people find the idea of making a medical negligence claim daunting, and are worried that claiming compensation could affect the standard of care they, or others, receive in the future.
This is not the case. It's important to remember that if your claim is successful, your compensation is paid by the NHS Litigation Authority, or the insurance company of the doctor responsible for your injury.
What's more, medical negligence claims can not only help ease the financial pressure of living with the injury and cover the costs of any further treatment needed, but can also draw attention to the cause of the injury and, in doing so, prevent the same thing happening to someone else.
We do all we can to help you understand the claims process. Read our page on what to expect to find out exactly what's involved.
If you're unsure of what to do next, or you'd like help understanding your rights, please feel free to give one of our friendly legal service advisors a call.
"A patient is owed a 'duty of care' by the practitioner".
Angelina Rigby, medical negligence solicitor
"All medical professionals have a duty to provide you with reasonable medical care".
Neil Clayton, medical negligence solicitor
"I can determine in minutes if your claim is a potential for further investigation".

Obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment may not result in a cure, but it can help you bring symptoms under control so they don't rule your daily life. Some people need treatment for the rest of their lives. The two main treatments for OCD are psychotherapy and medications.

To home on the bike
On March 1, 2013 by Donncha With 0 Comments - Black and White, Canon 40D, People, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Street, Urban
To say there are many motorbikes in Marrakesh is an understatement. We arrived at dusk and watched shell shocked as small motorbikes wove back and forth between traffic and around corners with little evident care for safety. As a pedestrian here you must have eyes in the back of your head!
With that sorted out and explained the picture above might not be too surprising and it's a not an uncommon sight to see 3 people on a motorbike. It looks like three generations here: son leaning forward on the handlebars, mother driving and grandmother sitting on the passenger seat.
We haven't seen any accidents yet but this old post from 2009 says accident rates are rising.

CHAPTER FOUR: In the Hands of Evil (10)
He inhaled meditatively and probed her brain with the microscope that is raw, occult power. It felt as if he was ploughing through her cranium like a farmer taking to virgin furrows, only those furrows were attached to thousands of agonized nerve endings. "As I expected," he murmured with disappointment, "this is not the one I seek – what's this? So . . . Bornen Stonefeather, is it? And the offspring of Dhumond Gianthammer?" His voice escalated with marked curiosity. The staff was removed from her forehead, which left an unmistakable trace of coral colored burnt flesh. He returned to the mongrel and mounted the beast. "Dolmoroth," he mentally remarked, "your perception is indeed all-too keen."
"What shall I do with her?" Hogwash screeched, still excited from the rush of adrenaline suddenly injected by being relied upon. It twiddled its hands and scanned Shenon's body with malignant, beady squints.
"Continue as instructed," Zed replied sharply. He pulled upon the reigns tied to the animal, readying to turn course and depart. "The one I seek is certainly here. Round up every last dwarf and take them away. Failure is not an option, Hogwash. It would be wise to keep those invalids," he carefully selected the phrase best suited for a goblin's understanding and cautioned gravely, "on a tight leash."
"You can depend on Hogwash, me lord," it assured Zed.
"I take my leave. They are under your command now."
"R-really?" Hogwash started in surprised; there was the faintest twinkle of teary water in its eyelids, as if a shooting star had just passed over head and a deep rooted wish came true. It wagged an arm as stringy as a wet noodle while saluting awkwardly. "Right!" Then it added imploringly, "Before you go . . . p-please, enlighten me. When can we expect the uh, the um . . . p-payment that was agreed upon?"
Zed contemplated this. As he dwelled in thought, fixating upon it as a cat would curiously watch a mouse, staying execution if only for a moment of mild interest, an ominous rictus curled the corners of his lips. If that troubling grin wasn't unsettling enough for Hogwash, something unanticipated happened next. For a human whose spectrum of personality spanned the length of a piece of cheese, (and was about as equally engaging as said cheese), he displayed the first signs of emotion that the goblin had ever seen, or to clarify, any emotion other than unpredictably temperamental.
He laughed. But Zed didn't laugh like a chuckler chiming at the end of a well-timed joke; it bore the baritone bellow of a mad scientist laughing after creating an otherworldly abomination. He laughed wickedly as one does when privy to vital information and content on keeping it secret. Then he ceased, his awful frown returned as he said with a hidden sense of satisfaction, "You will get what is coming to you soon enough."
The words lingered in the air as the mongrel dashed onto the trail and sped off like a comet, kicking up a tail of white dust as it went.
Hogwash swallowed the lump in its throat and turned its attention to Shenon. "Well, you heard him – take her away!" it snapped at the troll. The hulking servant stomped over to the unresponsive maiden and manhandled her once more.
