Free Point of Sale System. Too Good to be True?
POSTED BY: Rhett Baylies
Need a POS or Point of Sale system but can't afford it? Learn more about the best Free POS solution on the market.
A great POS or point of sale system can be an incredible tool for just about any business.
Think about this - have you ever found yourself sitting at your desk blankly staring at the endless scroll coming out of calculator, a huge pile of receipts on one side, the daily sales reports on another, the bills, and the order forms. It can feel like tax season just about every month! Then you tell yourself "There just has to be a better way!" Well we have great news for all you frustrated business owners - the Merchant Doctor has the solution you need! From time saving inventory reports to detailed sales reports and quick transactions with a professional appearance, a good POS or point of sale system can not only make your day more efficient but can increase your sales productivity as well. The biggest problem for many small business owners is that most POS systems are very expensive and come with little to no support. The Merchant Doctor has the answer that will not only save you time but increase sales at the same time! So ask yourself this:
What if there was a POS or Point of Sale System that was easy to integrate into your business that you could afford?
What if that same FREE Point of Sale system enabled you to accept EMV payments, ApplePay, Google wallet, Samnsung Pay, and any other EMV or NFC based payment? You would probably throw that old cash register out the door tomorrow right? Well get your arm warmed up because we have created a solution that will catapult your business into the 21st century instantly. The Merchant Doctor has a system born from our incredibly popular mobile payments platform, the PayAnywhere. PayAnywhere is making its way off the street and into brick and mortar retail locations everywhere.
Have you ever considered what a Point of Sale system could do for your business?
From time saving inventory reports to detailed sales reports and quick transactions with a professional appearance, a good POS or point of sale system can not only make your day more efficient but can increase your sales productivity as well.
One of the many places that good POS can excel is in its ability to control your inventory and cash. As many of you may know some of the areas of prime concern for small business owners is employee theft, unauthorized discounts, and more commonly - mistakes. A point of sale system can help prevent these concerns by providing employees an easy to navigate checkout while simultaneously producing detailed reporting. Consider this, whether you have a restaurant or retail location, your employees probably do not care about the inventory or product as much as you do so providing them with a relatively fool proof way to ring things up is nearly essential. Food or merchandise rang up improperly results in lost profit through either waste or product being sold for the wrong amount.
Point of Sale systems are also incredibly important to saving the most valuable thing you own, time.
By providing simple in-depth reports a good point of sale will help relieve you from tedious inventories, book balancing, and can simplify your ordering. Concise monthly and annual reports will be appreciated by your partners and your CPA while leaving you more free time to do the things that you love the most like running your business or getting away from it!
Built in tools make marking items down for sales or promotions a breeze! Additionally, with hot sheet reporting to let you know which items are selling and which are not will help you promote those items that need to be "blown out" helping you to keep your inventory productive.
Many business owners will not admit it but the business that they run while they are present can be completely different when they are not. Utilizing a POS will provide you a level of control that is simply not there with out it which will help you to keep your margins and employees in order.
A POS gives your business the aesthetic appearance of being professional and up with the times. This is an all to overlooked benefit. Believe it or not many customers will judge your business (regardless of the quality or your product) by whether or not the purchasing process is modern and efficient.
A good Point of Sale will bring your business into the future and streamline everything from inventory control to the checkout process all while increasing your margins by reducing theft and mistakes. The problem is that most POS systems are not cheap and come with little to no support. Well there is good news! Today's digital world has provided an answer that will not only save you time but increase sales at the same time! So ask yourself this.
The Merchant Doctor has a complete system based on their incredibly popular mobile payments platform, PayAnywhere. Their mobile platform is making its way off the street and into brick and mortar retail locations everywhere. They created a program that will provide you with a plug and play ready POS system (software, tablet, and card reader) for free. Meaning that if you purchase (or rent) 2 simple and affordable items: a compatible receipt printer and/or cash drawer the Merchant Doctor will send you an Android tablet pre loaded with the POS software, 2 card readers, a swivel stand, and a frame to hold it all when your account is approved! Additionally, our turnkey point of sale system is EMV and NFC compatible meaning that you don't have to worry about the looming EMV compliance deadline and subsequent liability shift .
In no time your business will be running more efficiently than ever. While most businesses find the cost of POS systems at $5000 or more too prohibitive. With this system all you have to buy is the cash drawer and receipt printer which will cost you less than $400 or between $14.95-$19.95/month to rent.

Crowd-pleasing has never been any sort of issue for the Virginia Born prog-grass quintet Infamous Stringdusters. Every crowd seems simply enamored with their boisterous stage presence, aggressively cunning musicianship, and true accessibility. The Dusters use most tour dates as a catalyst to interact with fans through various environmentally geared cleanup projects. They're wholesome yet mysterious.
Upon entering George's Majestic Lounge on Sunday night I noticed something in the air. It wasn't smoke, because you can't smoke in George's. But there was something else hovering in the spaces between us humans. Music wafted from the back room – a folk duo picking at stringed instruments and harmonizing light Arkansas accents. The venue was buzzing with old friends and new faces, happy hearts and big smiles.
Deborah Bonham is not only the sister of John Bonham (the late drummer for the band Led Zeppelin she's also an accomplished blues based, 70s-style neo-classic rock singer/songwriter based out of England who just released her latest release "Spirit" in 2014 (Spectra Records).
At the Fox Theatre, local bands have rocked the stage for twenty-two years, and they're in good company. The Meters played the inaugural show back in 1992. Phish and the String Cheese Incident won over early crowds while jamming at The Fox. Snoop Dogg has a painting inside that's nearly as tall as he is. I could go on and on, but just walk around the lobby full of photo memories and you'll get it.
Commercial success is a tough concept to toy with for many bands in their breakthrough moment. How do you compromise your stylistic integrity and what you want to play versus what a major record label or mainstream audiences are thought to expect out of pop music? It ruins the authenticity of certain bands willing to make that sacrifice.
The Grateful Dead were always an unnecessarily modest group of musicians. Milestones, anniversaries, career-spanning accomplishments were underplayed by guitarist and vocalist Jerry Garcia in particular, who always was hesitant to accept hype around the group's resurgence in mainstream popularity in the mid-1980s.
I have been going to shows regularly for over 15 years. Somewhere along the line, I came to understand that live music is my adopted religion and venues of great renown are, collectively, my house of worship. Being a Deadhead, in particular, is a sect onto itself. Until recently, I only understood this spiritual manifestation in the abstract.
There is no doubt in Colorado about how much the members of the Disco Biscuits love to come to Boulder. In fact, they have vehemently expressed their love for the area at every show for the last several years. You guys should all move here already. It's okay, we all do it. None the less, every time they are here it is a gigantic treat for all of us involved. Friends see friends and dance the night away. It is a true Boulder party.
F.U....N.K. But seriously, funk. It was the theme of late night at The Fox Theatre, Monday, March 17th. Coming all the way from Baltimore, Maryland, we had the honor of spending a night with Pigeons Playing Ping Pong on their twenty-five day tour, one of the funkiest, psychedelic, up and coming jam bands coming through this town.
Just as the full moon is infiltrating its way into the Bay Area, casting an illuminating white light over the Fillmore...Peeps await for the epic improvisational elements that seem to have a ripple effect from an eclectic group who derived their name from Jack Kerouac's short story, "October In The Rain".

OXFORD – Amid all of its other troubles, Ukraine cannot pay its creditors. The country needs more money, serious reform, and a rescheduling of its debt. Yet even the best efforts by the International Monetary Fund, the United States, and the European Union to achieve this will be hobbled by investment agreements that they themselves have pressed on Ukraine and many other emerging economies. Indeed, Ukraine could be left facing a string of complex and costly legal cases.
In recent years, shrewd creditor lawyers have argued that investment treaties give bondholders the same rights as foreign direct investors, and have smuggled sovereign-debt cases into international arbitration proceedings wherever they have found investment treaties with broad, open-ended definitions. The recent experiences of Argentina, Greece, and Cyprus highlight the "blowback" on sovereign-debt restructuring.
The first such case was Abaclat and Others v. Argentine Republic, which started in 2008. Thousands of Italian bondholders refused Argentina's debt-restructuring deal, successfully arguing that the Italy-Argentina investment treaty gave them the right to pursue compensation through investor-state arbitration.
Resolving a sovereign-debt crisis requires a collective agreement by creditors, which can be achieved only by individual investors' incentive to try to grab their money and run. That is why investment treaties that leave an opening for holdouts are counterproductive.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. (AMTD) were upgraded this morning at UBS (UBS) to "buy" from "neutral."
The shares are up 1.14% to $30.24 in pre-market trade.
The firm said, "We believe recent fear that noise around high frequency trading could drive changes to the current retail whole-selling/payment-for-order-flow regime are misplaced; our expectations of rate upside in 2016 are not reflected in the current price; and retail sentiment and the operating environment continue to improve."
"We believe AMTD now has no rate upside reflected in the current valuation, which could drive company repurchases," the note added.

"We rate TD AMERITRADE HOLDING CORP (AMTD) a BUY.

We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow."

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette Refillable Purse Spray 20ml & 15ml Refill is rated out of 5 by 16.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robyn from Christmas Favourite I cannot review this product personally as it was bought as a gift. Marc Jacobs Daisy is a timeless, long lasting fragrance and my mother's favourite. Escentual offered Daisy in a range of sizes and this particle little bottle was easily the cheapest at Escentual compared to everywhere else. I was initially worried about buying from Escentual as I had never heard of the company before but I would 100% recommend and cannot fault. Even at Christmas they promised and delivered 2 day free delivery with no fuss.

The Coral Reef Biome
The coral reef biome is found in areas that have shallow, clear water. This biome is located in in four places around the world; the Indo-Pacific, Australia, America, and the African West Coast. The most diverse of these is the reef in Indonesia. They're always from 70-85 Degrees Fahrenheit. They're actually ancient animals related to Jellyfish and anemones, an individual coral is known as a polyp. An organism with a stomach and mouth covered in tentacles. At night the tentacles with sting tiny organisms like plankton and devour them. Thousands of these will grow together making a coral colony.
Symbiodinium is a type of microscopic algae that lives within coral, they give the organism food and help them to grow faster. Because of coral's relationship with this organism coral reefs can only be grown in shallow areas where sunlight can reach them. Most reefs will only go about 150 feet down but some will go as far as 450 feet down.
There are three types of coral reefs: fringing reefs, barrier reefs, coral atolls, and patch reefs. Fringing reefs are found along the coast line they are separated by shallow lagoons. They are the most common type seen. Barrier reefs are found deeper out in lagoons. At their shallowest they can reach the surface of the water therefore forming a barrier and earning them their name. Coral atolls are rings of coral that protect lagoons. They are normally formed when Islands surrounding by fringing reefs sink into the sea.
There are various plants and animals that live within coral reefs. Some plants living there include phytoplankton (plant Plankton), Algae, and sea grass. The plants not only help to keep energy moving along to the animals that live there, but they also allow shelter for animals that call the reef home such as the conch and lobsters.
A few of the animals that live in the coral reef are jellyfish, seahorses, and whales. Jellyfish live there because they feed on fish, coral reefs have an abundance of fish that swim and live there so for the most part they have easy pickings. Seahorses are masters of camouflage, they change color and grow skin filaments to blend in with their surroundings. They're a flagship species meaning that a species selected to act as an ambassador, icon or symbol for a defined habitat, issue, campaign or environmental cause. Coral reefs offer good protection and camouflage to them so it's an ideal place for them to live. Whales, much like jellyfish, feed on animals that live in or near coral reefs.
When coral reefs reproduce it's referred to as spawning eggs and sperm are release simultaneously into the water. When fertilized and egg will release a larvae and this is called brooding. Budding is when is when a young coral grows from an adult version of this larvae. Parthenogenesis is when embryos grow without fertilization. This will result in clones being formed. Sometimes divers will dive down to see this even in progress and it's been described to look as though it's snowing underwater.
Despite the importance of coral reefs, they only take up about 1% of the ocean.

what to do IN THE GARDEN this month; Super-hardy, attractive and easy to grow. You can't go far wrong with succulents. Here's the lowdown
SUMMER may have seen the death of many of your pot plants around your house or your office, so now is a good time to think about replacing them with something hardier like succulents.
Succulents are renowned for their tolerance to heat and drought – thanks to water-storing leaves and stems – and, in many cases, their ability to cope with wind, cold and seaspray.
Although difficult to kill, most succulents do need a well-lit position to thrive, and many will cope with full sun. They also need good drainage – if the soil is too wet, root problems can develop. Autumn is a good time to plant succulents – avoid winter as it's usually too cold and wet.
FLOWER power
All cacti are classified as succulents, but only succulents with thorns are classified as cacti. The zygocactus (Schlumbergera), also known as Christmas cactus, is a popular flowering type, and falls into the group known as epiphytic succulents.
In this group there are also some rarer species, such as the orchid cactus (Epiphyllum), and the exquisitely beautiful night flowering cactus, which opens its white, scented flowers as the sun sets. These types thrive well on a shaded verandah or balcony.
FEATURE foliage
Of the foliage types, some of the most interesting include the Rhipsalis, which is suited to some shade protection; the thicker Donkey's Tail or Burro's Tail (Sedum morganianum and Sedum 'Burrito'); and Crassula 'Baby's Necklace', which all cope with sun or shade. The commonly called String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) is a succulent that has masses of leaves resembling little beads strung along wonderful cascading stems.
BASKET beauties
Many of the smaller growing succulents with rosette forms can look superb in a basket. Graptoveria, Sedeveria and Echeveria have flowers that look like leaves, and many have delicate colours of pink, terracotta and blue. Sedum sieboldii is another ideal candidate for a basket – the stems grow to 30cm, and come summertime it's covered with soft pink blooms. Don't make the mistake of throwing it out when it drops all its leaves – it's deciduous, not dead.

A Northern California police officer who responded to a report of a domestic disturbance at a woman's home is accused of raping the woman after he got there, according to the Santa Clara District Attorney's Office.
At about 2 a.m. on Sept. 22, 2013, San Jose Police Officer Geoffrey Graves and three other officers responded to a call about a family disturbance at the home of the alleged victim and her husband. According to a statement from the DA's office, officers on the scene determined that both the husband and wife had been drinking and that no crime had occurred.
After the wife informed officers that she wished to spend the night at a nearby hotel where she worked as a maid, the statement says that Officer Graves transported her to the hotel where she got a key and entered a room. Then she heard a knock on the door:
According to the DA's statement, "The defendant entered the room, grabbed the victim and pushed her onto the bed. The defendant took off parts of his uniform. The defendant removed the victim's pants and undergarment. The defendant climbed on top of the victim while she resisted with verbal and physical communication. The defendant forcibly engaged in sexual intercourse with the victim before leaving the hotel approximately 10 minutes later."
The crime was reported last Oct. 13, and according to the DA's statement "physical evidence corroborates the victim's allegations."
Graves has been charged with forcible rape. CBS San Francisco reports that Graves surrendered on Monday and was freed after posting $100,000 bail on Tuesday. He is scheduled to be arraigned on March 24.

A Day for Dancing looms large
SUNLAND PARK, N.M. A Day for Dancing, stakes placed in each of her last three starts, should be a strong favorite in Sunday s $50,000 El Paso Times Handicap at Sunland Park. She will take on seven fellow 3-year-old fillies in the 6 1/2-furlong race.
Trained by Steve Asmussen, A Day for Dancing has spent the early part of the winter at Fair Grounds in New Orleans. A Florida-bred daughter of Dance Master, she finished second in both the Pontalba and Letellier Memorial stakes at Fair Grounds after finishing third in the $100,000 Cassidy Stakes at Calder Race Course in Florida in mid-October. The well-traveled filly s last win was at Prairie Meadows, where she captured the Prairie Meadows Debutante in September.
A Day for Dancing has a seasoning advantage in the El Paso Times, which is one of the reasons she was assigned top weight of 122 pounds. Luis Contreras will ride her.
Lady Hi Teck is the only other stakes winner in the El Paso. She won the Permian Basin Stakes at Zia Park October. Trained by Johnnie Nall, Lady Hi Teck returned to racing at Sunland Park in December and finished an even sixth against male opponents in the $106,000 Riley Allison Futurity. She will carry 120 pounds Sunday, including rider A. J. Martinez.
Cherry One, a developing filly trained by Joel Marr, will be making her stakes debut in the El Paso. A winner of both her starts, Cherry One turned in a professional effort in winning an entry-level allowance here in mid-December. She will carry 118 pounds and be ridden by Carlos Medeira.
Asmussen s other runner in the El Paso is Nice N Icy, who will not be coupled in the wagering with A Day for Dancing because the two have different ownership. Nice N Icy graduated against Oklahoma-breds at Remington Park in December, then defeated allowance foes in open company here on Jan. 11. Ken Tohill rides at 118 pounds.

Kitchen cabinet knobs and handles are functional pieces of hardware that add the final touch to your cabinets. Installing cabinet knobs is a straightforward process. The biggest trick is to make sure you are positioning the knobs or handles in the right location to not only look good, but to be as accessible as possible. Avoid rushing through this job to prevent accidental slips of drill bits, hardware or screwdrivers that can scratch the finish of your cabinets.
Things You'll Need
- Door knob template
- Pencil
- Drill
- Drill bit (same size as knob screw)
- Screwdriver
- Backplates (optional)
Mark the location of the door knob or handle using a template. Plastic templates can be found at a local hardware store and help make exact markings. The template sits over the corner of the door with holes in the front where you mark the exact location of the knob or handle.
Wall cabinets should have knobs 2 1/2 to 3 inches from the bottom corner opposite the hinges. Base cabinets should have knobs 2 1/2 to 3 inches from the top corner opposite the hinges. If you have handles instead of knobs, measure the first hole three inches from the cabinet edge (the same as you would a knob) and then line the handle's second screw hole under it and mark that.
Remove the doors from the cabinets by unscrewing the hinges. Place the doors on a secure table where you can drill the holes.
Drill each marked hole with a drill bit the same size as the screw used with the knob hardware. If you need to, you can drill a hole up to 1/64th of an inch larger.
Thread the screws through the back of the cabinet door. Meet the screw with the knob or handle threading and twist as tightly as possible with your fingers. Note that you can use backplates which are metal plates that sit between the cabinet and the knob or handle. These are found at local hardware stores and help to reduce the amount of dirt and grease transferred to the cabinets when you grab the knob. This is optional.
Tighten the knobs with a screwdriver. Use a screwdriver that fits securely in the screw head to prevent slipping and scratching the cabinet finish.
Reposition the cabinet doors on the cabinets and screw back the doors back on to the hinges.
Tips & Warnings
- Drill holes slowly and on a secure worktop. Rushing may lead to splitting or cracking the wood.

Onboard Sokka's Skyship
The water wouldn't move.
Hydros had been staring at that water for nearly three days, but the water in the small glass by his bed would not even ripple at his thought. He closed his eyes and sighed, letting his head crash against the pillow. He waited for a couple minutes, relaxing and focusing on his Waterbending technique. In his mind's eye, he saw the water stream out of the glass and float in front of his face. He smiled broadly as it shifted from a sphere to a cube to a pyramid...
He snapped his eyes open quickly to catch a glimpse of the shifting water, but the glass of water lay perfectly still and motionless on the table by the side of his bed. "Move! Damn you, move!" screamed Hydros, lashing out with his fist. The glass shattered into a thousand pieces as his hand collided with it. Some shards sunk into his knuckles, the rest crashed to the floor along with the water inside, finally out of the glass.
The Back Room of the Jasmine Dragon
"Gah!" yelled Toph as she suddenly snapped back into consciousness. She sat bolt upright, sweat dripping down her face.
"Relax, my young friend," came Iroh's comforting voice. "You are fine."
"They drugged me! That archer cow drugged me!" Toph screamed.
"Yes, a quite powerful extract from a Shirshu's tongue," confirmed Iroh. "However, I know of an antidote. You will be fine."
"Is there anything that you don't everything about?"
Iroh thought about that for a second, then put his finger up and smiled in delight. "Ah! I know nothing of the ancient history of the Foggy Swamp Tribe."
Toph smiled weakly at the old man, who was still smiling broadly at his own ignorance. "Is the arrow still inside?"
"Yes, I was unable to reach the part that has broken off. Still, it is not in the way of anything important; best to let the wound heal around it."
"No," growled Toph. "She's not getting any victory at all in this." She pulled up her shirt to see the wound; it was grisly and black where the arrow had entered. She put her hand above the wound and slowly used her Metalbending to drag the arrowhead out of her. She grunted in pain, but within a few moments, the bloody tip of the arrow lay on the bed beside her. "Done. Now I can go."
"Toph," said Iroh sternly. "You have been shot and drugged within the last few hours. You still have an open wound."
"Then, burn it shut, Iroh."
"I told you, I cannot firebend, not anymore."
"Make an exception."
Iroh considered it for a moment, then heated up his fingers to a searing temperature with his bending. He gently touched her wound, cauterizing it shut with the burn it caused. "Please, Toph, you still need some rest. Give yourself time to heal."
"No time, old man," said Toph, grunting through the pain of the burn.
"Why not?"
"They weren't after me, Iroh. They planned their aspect of the attack around me with the archers and the rooftops and my father, but they weren't after me. They were after Ursa."
"You mean, Mishi?"
"They're the same person, Iroh!"
"I have had the pleasure of knowing both Ursa and Mishi, but they are not the same person. Ursa was a desperate woman who lived her life in fear of one child and fearing for the other. She carried so much grief and pain and pent-up anger within her that it was a wonder she could stand it. Mishi, however, is an optimistic woman with the energy of a woman half her age; they could not be more different."
Toph thought about that for a second, sensing the wisdom in Iroh's words. She knew Iroh well now and while Sokka and Aang responded pretty well to her stubborn arguments, Iroh would not. She had to be logical, thoughtful and choose her words carefully. "It doesn't matter. Whoever she is now, Ursa is the one being targeted by these people and I made a promise to Zuko that no harm would come to her. She is no longer safe within the city. I have to take her somewhere else."
"I agree. Somehow, Azula has discov—"
"What? Azula's involved in all this? How? She's in prison!"
"Apparently not. She has followed Zhao's path and escaped through the Spirit World and back into ours."
"Great. Another freakin' body jumper. Just what we need."
"Where will you take her?"
"I don't know, but I think the safest place is with Sokka and Suki."
"I agree. Plus, they may have rejoined with Katara, who has the best chance of restoring Mishi's lost memories."
"Will her healing powers work on amnesia?"
"I don't know, but that does not matter as she can no longer use her abilities."
"Oh, yeah...Poor Katara...."
"Nevertheless, Katara is a natural at medicine and healing, even without Waterbending. She is the best hope we have."
"What about all that Mishi is a different person stuff?"
"She is, Toph. But, I am confident that restoring Ursa's memories will not change the person she has become without them."
Toph stood up, clutching her side in pain. "I hope you're right. I like her," Toph said, before leaving the room.
Iroh smiled gently as he began to clean up the mess made by Toph's presence. But he was quickly interrupted as Toph re-entered the room and pulled the man into a rather tight, gruff hug. She pulled away just as gruffly.
"Thanks," she said rather quickly before leaving the room completely.
On the Outskirts of Ba Sing Se
It had taken Xiani nearly four hours to get out of Ba Sing Se. Normally, it would have been so simple—she'd just target the loneliest looking guard and after some light flirting, a few bats of her long lashes and flicks of her auburn hair and she could have him betraying the whole Earth Kingdom at her suggestion.
But, not now.... Not after what that old man had done. Large white blisters were beginning to form in a curved line that mirrored her bowstring as she drew it back past her ear, and those blisters were surrounded by red sores and blackened, burned skin. She was hideous! A monster! Why would a man want to even look at her now, yet alone give her something for the pleasure?
She had used a black cloak to hide her face and finally managed to sneak under a cart of supplies as it left the city. Iroh would pay for what he'd done for her, for ruining her beautiful face. Him, his nephew, his Earthbender friend; they'd all pay for what they'd done to her perfect, beautiful face.
Somewhere Between the North Pole and Ba Sing Se
Aang nearly vomited, but managed to swallow it down. "Must you bring that stuff back into camp? Can't you just leave it out there?"
"What good would it do me out there?" said Diyi, trekking in from the forest, carrying a fresh kill over her shoulder. She dumped it down near the campfire they had set up. Aang nearly vomited again, but Zuko ignored it and calmly drank his tea as he sat staring into the fire.
"Man, I don't know what it is, but ever since I came through that breach into this world, I've just been starving." Diyi drew one of her sharpened metal rings and began slicing cuts of meat to eat. Aang turned away.
"Oh, you're worse than Sokka," he complained.
"Jeesh, for the greatest bender in the world, your stomach sucks," mocked Diyi. "He always like this?"
"Yup," answered Zuko, not really looking up. He thought he saw Mai's face looking back at him from the dancing flames.
"Want some?" she offered.
Zuko shook his thoughts back into reality. "Sure. Shall I cook it?"
"You can do that?"
"Firebending isn't just blasting fireballs out of your hands, you know," Zuko added. "Cooking steaks is a breeze. How do you want it?"
Diyi looked over and made eye contact with Aang. "Rare," she smiled at him, even though she was talking to Zuko.
Aang nearly threw up again. "I have to go get some air," he said, before jumping up into the treetops, out of sight.
"We're outside!" yelled Diyi after him with laughter. "And you're an Airbender!" She smiled at Zuko, expecting him to laugh along with her, but the Fire Lord sat tersely.
"You need to give him a break," he said very seriously, cutting Diyi's laughter short.
"What? Why? He's a—"
"He's a good person who's been shoved into a situation that he couldn't possibly anticipate. Remember, from his point of view, you were an infant about a month ago."
Diyi rubbed her eyes in frustration. "Yeah, I keep forgetting that."
"I know he's putting a lot of pressure on you right now, but he's doing it because he cares – about you, about the New Nomads, about everyone."
"Well, he is the Avatar."
"It's nothing to do with the fact that he's the Avatar or even that he's an Air Nomad, it's just because he's Aang. He makes the world a better place, just by being in it and by doing what he chooses to do. It won't be long until you realize that being under his wing is the best place you could possibly be."
"What are you? His fan club?"
Zuko smiled at her. "I used to be his enemy; now I'm his best friend. Or at least, he's mine. I'd wager he has more friends than I do. Now, do you want this steak or not?"
"Yeah. Hook me up," Diyi said, realizing that the conversation had ended.
Zuko took one of the slabs of meat from Diyi and held it flat on the palm of his hand. He reached effortlessly for the part of himself that allowed him to Firebend, so that he could heat up his skin to searing temperatures and cook the meat.
Suddenly, flames leapt from Zuko's hands, creating a pillar of fire a few feet high, bathing their small campsite in an orange glow. Zuko yelled briefly in shock, but Diyi put out her hand, creating a vacuum around the flames with her bending. They flickered out and died within moments.
"What was that?" cried Diyi, snatching back the steak from Zuko, which was now burnt and crumbling. "I thought you were supposed to be good at this Firebending stuff!"
Zuko stared in confusion at his own hands. "I don't understand. It was just simple heat; there shouldn't have been flames. I've done this a thousand times!"
"Something's wrong with Firebending," came Aang's voice as he leapt back down to join them. "I've noticed it too. It's...easier."
"Uncle will know."
"Good thing we're heading to Ba Sing Se then."
"Wait, we're going to Ba Sing Se?" said Diyi, instantly full of excitement. "I thought we were heading to your Air Temple."
"Ba Sing Se is only a small diversion and it'll be good for you to be exposed to all of our world's cultures before I take you back home," said Aang.
"No complaints from me," said Diyi. "I have a feeling that as soon as I get to your Temple, I'll never be able to leave again."
Aang walked and placed a hand on Diyi's shoulder. "I'm hoping that once you get there, you won't want to."
Diyi looked up at him and his considerate smile. She bowed her head down low. "I'm sorry. Guess I've been a little cranky since I had to leave...I mean, I know I never belonged there, but I grew up there and...and I miss it. Fish out of water syndrome, I guess."
"I grew up over a hundred years ago, Diyi. I get it, better than anyone else around here anyway."
The young airbending girl smiled to herself. Zuko was right, she thought.
"How did you put out the flames?" asked Zuko, interested.
"It's a trick Tiankong taught me. Sucks the air out of an area, kills fires, makes animals and people fall unconscious as well," Diyi answered.
"I've never seen you do that," Zuko said to Aang.
"It's not something I've ever even thought of. I doubt any of the monks would have actually," said Aang. "It's a little too aggressive for the Air Nomads."
"What?" complained Diyi, pulling away from Aang's hand. "You ashamed of me again?"
Aang smiled understandingly. "Impressed, actually." His smile grew, turning into excitement. "Hey, if you teach me that, I'll teach you my air scooter trick." A quick burst of air came from underneath him and Aang was floating on a swirling sphere of air.
Suddenly, Diyi looked excited too.
Mishi's Bakery in Ba Sing Se
Tears fell freely from Mishi's eyes, dripping into the dough she was kneading with her hands. Behind her, Toph entered the bakery without knocking, but Mishi didn't turn around.
"You're taking me away, aren't you?" Mishi said, still crying.
"I don't have a choice, Mishi. I made a promise to keep you safe."
"This is all because of who I really am, isn't it? Because of who I used to be?"
"Yeah," said Toph bowing her head low. "I'm really sorry."
"You know who I am, don't you?"
"Are you going to tell me?"
"Only if you want me to."
Mishi dried her eyes with her sleeve. She turned around to face Toph, a determined look in her wet eyes.
"When do we leave?"
"As soon as you say good-bye to your husband."
The Cult's Hidden Base
Zhao stared into the mirror and saw his brother's face stare back at him. "So, you let a completely powerless group of Water Tribe ingrates escape your grasp?"
"I do apologize, sir," said Shaoshang, stepping into the reflection, so Zhao could see him. Zhao didn't react or turn around. "At the climax of the battle, someone was able to summon a wave of water that made us unable to pursue the escaping skyship."
"Impossible. There are no more waterbenders."
"I'm sorry, sir, but there's at least one."
Zhao rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration. "Sokka?"
"I didn't see him, though I engaged his student. I'm sure he was there, and I'm sure whoever this last waterbender is, he is with Sokka."
Zhao was silent; he was feeling his face and watching his brother perform the same actions in the mirror in front of him. "If there is one last waterbender out there, he must be found and killed."
Shaoshang smiled, showing off his pointed teeth. "I'll leave immediately."
"No, you won't," Zhao snarled at him, finally turning around to face him. "This is a job for a true firebender, not a failure like you."
"But, sir..." complained Shaoshang with a look of pure displeasure on his face.
"You are to wait here for Azula and her squad. When she returns in her new body, she will need your assistance. I will go after this new waterbender myself."
"How will you possibly find them?"
"I won't. I'll let them come to me."
"I've spent enough time parading around in my crippled brother's body. It's time to get a new one."
"Sir, it's only a bad leg, you can survive it. Besides, you have no more brothers. No more direct family whose forms you can use!"
"Actually, there is one, but that is of little consequence since I'm not going after him. I'm going after my body."
"You heard me Shaoshang. I'm going back through the breach and taking back what was stolen from me. I'm getting my body back," Zhao said, a twisted smile crossed his face as he clenched both his fists in anger.
The Skyship's Medical Ward
"I thought all healing was off. No waterbenders, no healers, right?" said Hydros, a little shocked.
"Yes," said Katara. "That's true, but Liang here is a special case."
"He's what? Twelve? How come masters like you, Pakku and me lose our bending and this child gets to keep his?"
"It's complicated, Hydros, but it's not important."
"Yes, it is important! How come he can bend and I can't?" Hydros screamed, sitting up in his bed. He cried out and clutched his side in pain as he rose from the bed, his broken ribs hurting him.
Katara ran up to him and helped him to slowly lie back down. "We'll talk about this later. Right now, Liang is going to heal you."
Liang stepped up to the side of Hydros's bed. "Are you sure about this, Katara? I've been able to do small cuts and bruises, not anything this big."
"Trust me, Liang," Katara said in a smooth, reassuring voice. "You're a natural; I haven't met a faster learner since Aang. You are more than able to do this."
Liang nodded timidly. "I'll need some water."
"There should be some right here," Katara said, looking to the table next to the hospital bed, before noticing the smashed glass and spilled water over the floor. "Oh."
"It fell," defended Hydros.
"It's fine. I can get it from the floor," Liang said, sweeping his hand and making the water flow upwards into a small sphere.
Katara noticed Hydros's envious scowl, but ignored it. "All right, Liang, wrap it around your hands like before."
Liang nodded and did as he was instructed. He gently laid his hands on Hydros's stomach, making the older man flinch at the chill of the cold water. Liang closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the water flow around the wounds on Hydros's chest, then commanding it to push the snapped bones back into place.
Hydros grunted, but within moments, his ribs were fixed, as was his lung. Even the scrapes on his knuckles from the shattered glass faded from his skin. He sat up in his bed and, for the first time in a long time, he didn't ache all over. He looked up at his healer. "Thank you," he grunted.
Liang looked exhausted. "Anytime." The water around his hands fell to the floor with a splash.
"Great job, Liang," said Katara proudly, checking Hydros over, just in case. "There's absolutely nothing wrong. You're fully healed, Hydros." She pulled up a chair. "Sit down, Liang. I'm going to go check on the other patients."
Katara smiled at Liang one last time before walking away, letting her long, orange and blue dress trail behind her. Liang slumped down in the chair, closing his eyes in exhaustion.
Hydros stood up and flexed his muscles, smiling broadly. He felt alive for the first times in weeks. He could finally be useful here, and finally take his revenge on Zhao and the rest of the Cult for killing Yue and taking away his ship, his best friend and his powers.
Just as he thought of his powers, there was the sound of a drip, ever so slight, but Hydros heard it and looked for the source. He looked down and saw the puddle of water that Liang had dropped. There was a single ripple of water drifting its way through the puddle.
Hydros dared to hope and reached out his hand. The puddle shook, its surface rippling violently, before a slow, deliberate stream of water stretched out of the puddle. His eyes widened in shock and joy.
Suddenly, Liang grunted loudly, gripping his head in pain. Hydros let the water fall back to the floor.
"You okay?" asked Hydros gruffly.
"Yeah. Got a headache all of a sudden," said Liang, getting up. "I'm going to go back to my room. I'm glad you're better, Hydros." He left the room, still clutching his hurting head.
Hydros returned to the puddle, trying to make it move again. But, the water had gone back to being stubbornly motionless at his thoughts.
"Where's Liang?" asked Katara as she came back into the room.
"I made the water move, Katara! I bent the water!"
"Look, I know what you're going through, Hydros. I miss my powers too, but they're gone. None of us can waterbend anymore."
"But I did! I just can't anymore... I could only do it when Liang was here..." Hydros's voice got quieter as the realization dawned on him.
"I think maybe you should get back into bed. Get some rest. Where did you say Liang went?"
"He wasn't feeling well. He went back to his room," said Hydros, lost in own thoughts. "Where is that, by the way?"
"Right down the hall on the left," Katara said quickly. "I better go check on him."
"I think you should just let him rest, Katara. He did something pretty impressive today."
"Maybe you're right," Katara agreed as she left the room. "I'll see you later, Hydros."
"Yeah. See you later," he said quietly. His fist was clenched, his knuckles turning white.
None, as of yet. Please let me know what you think! The next chapter, Healed, But Broken, will be released sometime within the next two weeks. I hope you enjoyed it!

Australia's major symphony orchestras welcome report on orchestral health and safety – MEDIA RELEASE
There are basically two types of injuries: acute and overuse. Acute injuries are usually the result of a single, traumatic event. Overuse injuries, on the other hand, occur to tendons, muscles, joints, and other tissues as a result of repetitive activity that creates small amounts of trauma over time. Common examples include carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist tenosynovitis, and muscle/fascia pain syndrome. Instrumentalists often sustain overuse injuries in the hand, wrist, and arm muscles and tendons, as well as weakness and …View Permalink Share

MTNA webinar by Christine Guptill
Streamed live on Oct 21, 2016
Since many musicians' injuries are related to practice habits, music teachers can and should play a vital role in injury prevention from the start. This webinar offers some clinical and research-based information to help teachers and students identify risks and prevent problems before they start.
Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way on purpose, in a particular way on purpose, in the present moment and being non-judgmental. Mindfulness includes being aware, curious, observant, being open to the experience and accepting. Thus mindfulness has to do with memory retention which is vitally important to those who worry about forgetting.

Athletes and the Arts in collaboration with PAMA (Performing Arts Medicine Association), and New Orleans Musicians' Clinic & Assistance Foundation have developed a new tool to monitor musicians performance pain. Musicians are strongly encouraged to complete this form to aid in their care.
Performance Pain Symptom Monitor (scroll to the bottom of the page that opens to find the performance pain symptom monitor)
Musicians are catching up to the athletes in recognizing the importance of educating themselves on the broad topics of health and wellness. Until more recently, musicians were likely to ignore or deny any medical problems they were experiencing, whether psychological or physiological, playing through pain until they could no longer continue. MTNA has taken a pioneering role in embracing the vital topic of musician wellness. Meeting the need for access to wellness information, MTNA has introduced a number of significant …View Permalink Share

Fallujah: U.S. attacks kill 15; At least one killed in Baghdad rocket blast
U.S. aircraft carried out a third set of air strikes on Fallujah, reportedly targeting a meeting of suspected loyal activist to Abu Musab al Zarqawi.
The "precision strike" late on Saturday night was aimed at around 10 "militants" meeting in the city center to plan operations, the U.S. military said.
Eight people were killed and 17 wounded in the attack, a doctor at a nearby hospital, said.
"Multiple secondary explosions following the strike indicate the site was used by terrorists to store explosives and weapons," a statement from the military said, cited by Reuters.
It was the third set of "precision strikes" in 24 hours, with two bombing raids on Saturday killing seven people and wounding 13, among them women and children, doctors said.
Meanwhile, a rocket hit a Baghdad neighborhood on Sunday, killing at least one person and injuring eight, hospital officials and witnesses said. The rocket hit a side street in Baghdad's Karrada neighborhood, witnesses said.

I have been to a dark, dark place. I have been there so many times before. It doesn't get any nicer or more welcoming. It is the pits. It is a place that no matter how hard you try you can't see tomorrow. So you close your eyes and somehow time keeps moving on.
I lost interest in eating and drinking and coffee. Coffee! Who on earth would believe that of me? Coffee has turned on me and snarled, arched its back and walked away and left me wondering why? We have gone our separate ways.
I am not sleeping. I stare at the blackness until about 2 or 3 am. The nights are so incredibly long and stretch on and on and on. I lie there having in depth dialogues with myself about everything and anything. Sometimes I get up, just can't bear to lie there anymore.
Sharing is something that is hard for me. Letting people in behind the towering wall I have built up over the years is virtually impossible. Letting people see the real me, what goes on behind my eyes and inside my head, is scary. And I have a blog, so how silly is that?
I am a people pleaser. I hate saying no. I try to please everybody all the time, and it gets tiring for me. I don't want people to dislike me, so I am whatever you want or expect me to be. I adapt my personality to suit yours, but I have done it for so long, I think that I have lost myself somewhere along the way.
Some people stress me out so much that I find it hard to be around them. Some people who assume because I am quiet that I am stupid or naïve. But really if you pass over me as not worth the time or effort, then that is fine, really. I prefer it that way. I hate standing out. I don't rock the boat, I don't even make any ripples as I go about my life. I know I won't make any ripples when it is time for me to go.
At the moment I am free falling as it were. After 24 years I am anti-depressant free. Not really through choice but because the medication the doctor changed me too has made me feel so ill that I had to stop. I can't say that I am feeling happy or better BUT I am feeling, probably for the first time in decades I am feeling and at the moment that is ok. The rawness and intensity of life feels like a splash of icy water in my face.
Anyway, thanks I think in part to some chocolate pancakes, which it appears have the ability to heal and stick together broken bits, of which I have plenty, I am functioning again. My blog is back on track. Although this time I am not accepting and saying yes to everyone and everything that comes along. I will be trying to be more honest and open and that super scary word 'share' more of myself with my long-suffering readers. I am learning how to say no, which is something that I am not familiar with so please bear with me here.
Ok, so onwards and upwards. Battle scared, weary and bruised but forever fighting.
Look after yourself and your loved ones.
Let go of what's gone, be grateful for what remains and look forward to what is coming.
