I decided to quit writing yesterday.
As the precious little time I have for writing drew to a close yesterday, all I had to show for it were three sentences. I must have written better than a thousand words over the course of the day, but I kept deleting them because they were crap.
As the realization that I has sweated blood all day only to make no real progress sank in, I thought, "This is ridiculous. I'm going to quit."
I held onto that thought for a while; it gave me a bit of comfort, but only for a while.
My wife and I had dinner and then took a stroll to the park where we sat, she with her book and me with my cigar, enjoying the day. As I contemplated my recalcitrant novel, I realized the reason I was making no progress was that the scene was all wrong. I needed to go back and bring it forward in a new direction. After that, everything fell into place and I began stinging an article together in my mind about how I had planned to quit writing.
Writing about not writing; that's got to be a sure sign that you are an incurable writer.
On other fronts, I'm planning to take a course in article writing and marketing. It all keeps going around in one, big circle:
I started out writing articles, but couldn't sell any because I'm crap at marketing; I wasn't getting rejection letters, I wasn't even able to find markets to send anything to so I could get rejection letters. So I decided to write a book, based on the idea that at least I would have places to send it. Now that I am shopping my humor book around, I am finding I don't have any credentials. I'm not convinced that is the kiss of death, but I can't believe it would hurt. Nor would learning some marketing skills.
So I'm checking out an on-line article 'how-to' course to make sure it is legit and all that. If I don't grow cold on this idea, I'll be starting school with the kids this autumn. I wonder if I'll need a school uniform.

Three Wednesday
Big Deal Barossans
Three Outstanding Reds Worth Every Penny
In a standard retail store, bearing a well-known label, Barossa reds of this quality would sell for $20 (the REF), and then you would be lucky. And much more under a boutique label. Buying direct from a wine maker-wine merchant brings many benefits. All you need do is pocket the difference. Please note the term REF is the reference price which can be used as a buying tool.
Barossa Valley
Cabernedro 2016
Experiments pay off and the best when of exceptional interest are bottled in tiny amounts.
A blend of two fabulous Barossa varieties, Cabernet and Bonvedro which have clicked to be bigger than the parts.
Exciting wine, tempting, offers a difference, so check the score and price.
The price is $10.75 per bottle
Barossa Valley
Grenache Mataro Shiraz 2012
Wonderful complex flavours plus it shows maturation from a great vintage.
Recall this is not a chocolate syrup Shiraz but it is still full, rich, ripe and warm. You do need variety and the Kaldukee while Barossan has the advantage of age.
The price is $10.45 per bottle
Glug GH22
Single Barrel
Barossa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Cabernet comes in from different vineyards and the parcels are kept apart. If you make 25 barrels then mysterious alchemy means two or three become standouts for reasons not known.
This is one of two that Benjamin wished to have preserved from the 2016 vintage.
The price is $10.75 per bottle
The long curving range of the Adelaidean-Mount Lofty range contains a dozen wine regions of world class importance. Read Part 2.
The Wine Regions of the Adelaidean-Mount Lofty Range Part 2.
The winemaker Benjamin and I like South Australian reds and our long history as retailers has taught us that a large percentage of customers also enjoy the flavours of warm climate reds. The reason back in 2004 we headed to South Australia and while a number of locations would have been suitable settled for the Barossa Valley.
From winery premises on Samuel Road, Nuriootpa, Barossa Valley we make and source wines from the following regions of the Adelaidean Mount Lofty Range-Part 1 last week and this is Part 2.
Region 5. Adelaide Hills. The Mount Lofty ranges to the east of Adelaide peak at 710 metres. Height brings a cooler climate and the numerous market gardens and orchards have since the 1970s shifted to include 4000 hectares of vineyards. A Glug source of cool climate whites.
6. Eden Valley. To the east of the Barossa Valley and a northerly extension of the Adelaide Hills is Eden Valley. Of lower altitude, hotter and drier than the Adelaide Hills. Noted for fine Riesling. Fabulous bargains but we must wait.
7. Reynella, Adelaide Plains and Coastal North. McLaren Vale is a region south of Adelaide next to the beaches. Unless preserved it would disappear in a blink to housing. Housing has consumed Reynella, the coastal land of Adelaide city and is marching north. North of Adelaide is warmer and drier than McLaren vale but excellent wines can still found from Angle Vale and other places.
8. Currency Creek, Goolwa and Hindmarsh Island. This region covers the rolling flat land on the eastern side of the Fleurieu Peninsula (Mount Lofty Ranges) which is south-west of Langhorne Creek.
9. Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. This is the southern extension of the Adelaidean-Mount Lofty Range and cool enough for Pinot Noir. On Kangaroo Island think of Margaret River.
Back to the specials for today which are from the Barossa Valley. In our view the Barossa is the global benchmark for value for money and for $10 to $12 you can acquire remarkable and unique wines. What a gift they are.
30 Day Pricing Guarantee:
After buying wine it is most annoying to find it cheaper shortly afterwards. Currently Ben and I find selling on-line most turbulent. To hold our ground I confess to moving prices around far more than usual. Please notify Nicole or Claire of any upsetting price moves and they will then issue a credit.
Wine Merchant Selections Which Save You Heaps
Cameron Country
'Red Post'
Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Coonawarra should be part of your drinking pattern. Barossa may be the foundation but interest is retained with the power of cooler climate maritime Cabernet of a type made so famous by Coonawarra. I see fabulous value for money.
The price is $10.99 per bottle
Barossa Valley
Shiraz 2015
The 2015 continues a steady line of great Karrawirra's and those lucky enough to have a vintage sequence are indeed lucky.
We like our reds to show fruit though in this case structure with line and length are most apparent.
The price is $15.99 per bottle
Adelaide Hills
Chardonnay 2017
The Knotts will rate highly as one of Benjamin's great discoveries of 2018.
Impeccable breeding and I am thankful for the small quantity we were able to procure.
Truth again that great things come in small amounts.
The price is $10.99 per bottle
The Big Red Mix No.19
This is our longest running mixed dozen because it is the most popular. It provides a balance between expensive varieties and our more general favourites plus provides a saving on buying the dozen bottles separately. A real Glug winner.

For the most part, men are going to be men, and women are going to be women. Regardless of whether the man is the President of the Unites States, or just a grocery store clerk, we are all prone to the same temptations. The only difference is that it is a much bigger deal if you are in the political spotlight. Check out 20 of the most shocking political sex scandals in recent history.
In 2001 an intern of Gary Condit's went missing. Police questioned the representative about his relationship with her but he lied stating that he was not having an affair with her. His lie led people to believe that he had something to do with her going missing. Police never ended up naming him as a suspect but the bad reputation stuck with him until her remains were found and another man was convicted of her murder.

George Hajati, aka Gjergji Hajati, 30, Rocky Hill, Connecticut, and Justin Williams, 31, Newington, Connecticut, and Douglas Sheehan, 38, an attorney, have been charged by a grandy jury in a nine-count Indictment with conspiracy and wire fraud offenses stemming from an alleged Hartford, Connecticut-area mortgage fraud scheme.
The Indictment was returned on February 11, 2009. Following his recent extradition from Albania, Hajati appeared before United States Magistrate Judge William I. Garfinkel in Bridgeport and entered a plea of not guilty to the charges against him.
The Indictment alleges that, between September 2003 and November 2007, Hajati, using his company Connecticut Partners Mortgage ("CPM"), conspired with Williams, a CPM employee, Sheehan and others to deceive mortgage lending financial institutions into providing falsely inflated mortgage loans to real estate buyers for the purchase of property that was worth less than the amount of the loans. The Indictment alleges that CPM provided fraudulent financial statements to the lending institutions that inflated the sales prices of the properties, the down payments made by purchasers and the amount due to sellers, as well as other fraudulent information, in order to induce the institutions to provide the funds.
Acting U.S. Attorney Dannehy stated that the investigation is ongoing and, at this time, it is believed that the various lenders have suffered a loss of more than $1 million due to this alleged mortgage scheme.
According to documents filed with the Court and statements made in court, on November 14, 2007, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents conducted a court-authorized search of Connecticut Partners Mortgage on Weston Street in Hartford. On November 21, 2007, Hajati fled the United States to Albania. In January 2008, Hajati met Williams in Australia. In May 2008, the co-defendants traveled to Albania, where Hajati lived until he was 17-years-old, has relatives and is fluent in the language.
On March 17, 2009, approximately one month after Hajati and Williams were indicted by a grand jury in Hartford, Hajati was arrested by Albanian authorities after he attempted to cross the border of Albania and Montenegro. He was extradited to the United States on July 24.
Hajati and Williams are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and eight counts of wire fraud. Each charge carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years and a fine of up to $1 million.
Following his arraignment today, Hajati was released under electronic monitoring after posting a bond in the amount of $250,000, cosigned by family members and partially secured by property.
Williams was arraigned on March 31 following his voluntary return from Albania. He is released on a non-surety bond in the amount of $25,000.
On November 20, 2008, Sheehan waived his right to indictment and pleaded guilty before United States District Judge Mark R. Kravitz in New Haven to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud. He awaits sentencing.
Acting U.S. Attorney Dannehy stressed that an indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is entitled to a fair trial at which it is the Government's burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Paul H. McConnell.

An individual's teeth is extremely important to their overall well-being. Though a person can essentially live without teeth, losing the ability to chew eliminates the choice of foods that are available. Furthermore, dealing with mouth pain because of the incompetence of a dentist, greatly reduces a person's quality of life. An expert Jhon Bales dental malpractice lawyer will gladly defend you against any misconduct that has caused injury or death.
Recently in Waterville, Washington, there was a dental malpractice case involving seventeen-year-old Lauren Ludeman. This young woman's father, Joseph Ludeman, claims that the dentist and the dental assistant, neglectfully failed to diagnose cancerous lesions in her mouth.
Mr. Ludeman filed this wrongful death suit accusing the dental practitioners involved of negligence. Among the accused were Dr. Debra Lapo, Dr. Peter Rutherford and Eldon Leinweber, which was the certified physician's assistant treating Lauren at the time.
By February 2010, the cancer had already spread to the lymph nodes. This form of cancer was rare in people under forty, according to the doctors that discovered the tumor. Moreover, the surgeon that biopsied the tumor stated that this growth had likely been there for at least six months. Lauren tragically died in December of 2010, due to health complications associated with this cancer.
In the time leading up to Laurens death, she received eight oral examinations form Leinweber, the physician's assistant. During all of those checkups, this tumorous mass went unnoticed. As a result, Laurens condition went from treatable to lethal. For this reason, Mr. Ludeman is suing claiming that her daughter received substandard care that lead to her death. However, prior to the cancer diagnoses, Lauren was treated for various illnesses, among which were ulcerative sores and tonsillitis.
The two physicians in this case were released by the court of any liability. Sole responsibility rests on the dental assistant and he will bear the financial burden of any money that is awarded to the family. The negligible care that Lauren received resulted in her passing and Mr. Ludeman is seeking a modest 1.26 million dollars in financial restitution.
If you or a loved one has recently experienced any form of negligent dental care, hiring a qualified dental malpractice lawyer strongly recommended. When doing so, you need to feel confident that your legal matters will be handled with the utmost care. You should seek out an John Bales Attorneys that is compassionate, skilled, and committed to defending your rights.
The dental malpractice lawyer you employ should know how to take on the big insurance companies and the interests of incompetent doctors. Furthermore, choose an advocate that has a proven record of accomplishment. Remember, there are lawyers that serve their own interests and not that of the clients.
It is wise to hire an attorney is practices law in your area. This is beneficial to you, because he or she will understand the nature of the local laws, and is likely to the prosecutors and judges. However, the most important quality when searching for a good defender is, they should certainly be an expert in the field of dental malpractice. This will ensure you receive the best quality defense possible. Do not be the victim twice.

King Lear
Oedipus and Order in Hamlet and King Lear
Shakespeare's Hamlet and King Lear both contain a multitude of driving forces at work behind the actions of the main characters, but common to both works exists an obvious Freudian interpretation of what is driving two of the most interesting characters in all of Shakespeare's canon, Hamlet and Edmund the Bastard. Shakespeare is dealing with two characters whose desires happen to be such that they upset the accepted balance of nature. The Freudian drive at work in both characters is the infamous "Oedipal Complex," which basically boils down to a desire to kill the father and take his place beside the mother. Hamlet and Edmund both wish to accomplish actions that will destroy the patriarchal system currently in place, and both thirst for unhealthy relationships with a mother or mother figures. If Hamlet and Edmund both succeed in their respective plots, the natural order of the world would be put into jeopardy, and that order is already being upset merely by the attempt of the two characters to carry out their wish-fulfillment of having their father (figures) replaced by themselves.
The chief aspect of the Oedipal Complex lies in the desire for the son to kill the father and take his place as head of the...

Editor's note: Rik Paul is automotive editor of Consumer Reports.
(CNN) -- Watching the Toyota recall crisis unfold over the past few months has been like watching a wildfire on a windy day. Just when it would appear that the flames might be contained, another powerful gust sweeps through, stirring them up and blowing them still higher.
True, Toyota has acted as its own arsonist at times. If it had attacked the floor-mat entrapment problem as aggressively in 2007 as it is doing now, then perhaps the current crisis could have been avoided. And if the company had been acting as a better switchboard operator between Europe and North America, it could have more quickly connected the sticking accelerator problems in some European cars with the fact that the same pedal assembly was used in eight U.S. models. And it might possibly have avoided the recent stop-sale on those models.
But some of the gusts have been whipped up by the news media. The software glitch in the antilock braking system of the 2010 Toyota Prius and Lexus HS 250h, which causes a momentary loss of braking capability, is serious enough that it should be fixed. But on an overall scale of recalled problems, it's relatively minor. Yet, it continues to grab headlines in this Toyota-sensitized environment.
Vehicles are recalled all the time by just about every automaker. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued 1,399 safety-related recalls affecting more than 38 million vehicles from 2007 to 2009. And while Toyota's inferno has been grabbing the nation's attention, new recalls have been springing up.
Chrysler, GM, Honda and Mazda have all issued recalls in recent weeks, for problems ranging from faulty power steering to defective air bags. And Hyundai issued its own stop-sale on the 2011 Sonata because of a faulty front-door latch.
Yes, the idea of a runaway vehicle is a frightful thought to drivers. And we encourage the government to continue to investigate complaints of unintended acceleration. But consumers shouldn't lose sight of two important points.
Such incidents are rare; the approximately 2,000 consumer complaints received by the NHTSA that were related to unintended acceleration in Toyotas over the past 10 years works out to about one in every 10,000 Toyotas sold over that period.
Also, these complaints aren't confined to Toyota. In an analysis of 5,916 total complaints filed to the NHTSA database for 2008 models (as of August 28, 2009, before the problem hit the national spotlight), we found 166 related to unintended acceleration. While ones citing Toyota-built vehicles made up the highest percentage -- 41 percent -- there were also complaints related to 20 other brands. Ford vehicles drew the second-highest number at 28 percent.
Still, while there has been unusually strong reaction to Toyota's problems, such flare-ups can lead to positive changes.
Following the Firestone tires/Ford Explorer recalls in 2000, the government enacted the TREAD (Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation) Act. Among other things, it mandated tire-pressure monitoring systems in passenger cars and created the Early Warning Reporting database, which requires manufacturers to report problem data to the NHTSA.
We're hoping that the energy surrounding this crisis can be harnessed to improve our auto-safety system so that such rare-but-deadly problems can be caught earlier or prevented altogether.
To that end, Consumer Reports is recommending that the government take the following actions:
-- Improve public access to safety information by making their complaint databases more uniform, user-friendly and easier to search. This would help investigators spot a problem trend more easily and perhaps address it before it becomes a crisis.
-- Mandate that cars be required to stop in a reasonable distance, even with the throttle fully open. One solution to this is "smart throttle" technology, which disengages the throttle if the brake pedal is depressed. It's being used now by some automakers and Toyota says such a system will be installed in all of its models by the end of this year.
-- Improve the recall compliance process. According to NHTSA, the average consumer response rate to vehicle recalls is only about 74 percent, meaning that a quarter of all affected vehicles never get the fix. This puts used-car buyers at unnecessary risk.
-- Give regulators more funding. In 2007, auto crashes made up 99 percent of all transportation-related deaths and injuries. Yet, NHTSA's budget is just over 1 percent of the overall budget of its parent, the Department of Transportation. That's not enough for the reality of auto safety today.
Despite the tragedies, the Toyota crisis can yet be a catalyst for positive change that can benefit consumers.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Rik Paul.

Virgin Excursion
This is my first foray into the realm of digital painting, using Photoshop CS4. I must admit, there's a certain casualness to this method that allows for more focus on value and form, which can definitely ease the tension when approaching a traditional painting in the future. This obviously needs work but its fun, nonetheless.

What to Expect
Kamakura, one hour from Tokyo station, thirty minutes from Yokohama, is the town where first Samurai capital flourished between 1185 and 1333. Under the feudal government populist Buddhism and Zen sect was spread. Many temples were built and various Buddha statues were crafted.
This one day trip takes you both popular and serene spots in the first city of Samurai including Great Buddha, Hase-dera Temple, Hokoku-ji Temple.
Great Buddha or Daibutsu, 11.4 meter bronze statue is the most iconic sight in Kamakura. You can duck inside to see how the sculptors pieced the 850-tonne statue together.
Hase-dera Temple is famous for a 9 meter high carved wooden 11-faced Kannon statue. According to legend, the temple dates back to AD736, when the statue is said to have washed up on the shore near Kamakura.
Hokoku-ji Temple or Bamboo Temple is a Zen temple established in 1334. Moso bamboo grows in the temple and forms a serene garden.

This half term we are trying not to spend money! Well to spend as little as possible. As hard as it sounds it is possible for us so this is our plan
We are very lucky to have annual passes for Life so we are packing a lunch (they have dedicated packed lunch areas) and heading of for a day of free fun and this half term it's Frozen Themed Fun!
We love coming here it's a lovely way to spend a couple of hours and it's free entry, although I would urge everyone to donate whatever they can to help keep the farm open. This half term they are running craft activities which are only £3.50 and loads of fun. But even if you don't do any crafting I promise you will enjoy a mooch around the farm then a play in the park just along the path.
Rock Pooling
You can't be far from a bit of beatiful Coast in the NorthEast so this is a really easy but mega fun day out, we will be heading off to our local beach to discover the joys that are hiding in the rock pools, and let me ease your doubts, we've found star fish, hermit crabs and fish before without looking too hard at all! All you need is a packed lunch a magnifying glass and a spare Tupperware tub to keep and inspect your discoveries. But remember the best rule to follow when undertaking nature discoveries .... take only memories and leave only footprints
Scavenger Hunt
The big two have decided we are having an indoor adventure this week which will end in toasting marshmallows on a 'fire' so we need wood to 'burn' and some props to set the scene. So we are off with our swag bags to find fallen sticks and leaves and seeds and acorns. Then home to make some paper flames for the fire (fake obviously) and we will build our indoor outdoor scene. I don't think sleep will factor highly in this camp out but that could be the cynic in me
In the House Day
Outdoor fun is brilliant but I know my kids really appreciate the luxury of a day indoors, so pj's all day, some Lego play (I wonder if anyone has ever studied the distances travelled by rogue dropped Lego pieces) some craft and creation, a tea party with mini food and peanuts tea set and then some easy baking which leads just perfectly to snuggle time with popcorn, a movie and the results of our baking endeavours.
Scooting and Geocaching
We are so fortunate to live in the heart of lots of green space and coastline so a day out with no purpose always works well for us. Lunches packed, helmets on and scooters at the ready I normally let the kids choose which way to go as you can't really go far wrong and with Geocache on my mobile we can always discover some hidden 'treasure' keeping the kids occupied and focused no matter where we end up. There may even be a sneaky couple of quid for an ice cream treat! If you've not tried geocahing before I will apologise now as it can get a bit addictive!

Unreality / Depersonalization' Derealization
There is a symptom not often mentioned in panic attack literature that I would like to discuss. It is the sensation of unreality' this sensation is called depersonalization by psychologists. Many people who experience panic attacks and anxiety attacks become distressed by this sensation and feel they may be losing their mind.
People who experience panic attacks report feeling disconnected from their world' or having a sensation of unreality. The sensation is described as if the world has become nothing more than a projection of a film. This sensation is quite distressing as it often leads to the individual believing that some permanent damage has been done to their brain' causing these sensations.
A typical manifestation of this depersonalization is when the individual may be having a conversation with someone and suddenly feels alarmingly isolated and removed from the situation. Once the sensation arises it can make such an impact that it takes days to leave the eerie feeling behind and stop thinking about it.
The sensation is caused by delayed perception. While under constant stress or anxiety there is a build up of stress chemicals in your system that causes a delayed response in the transmission of information between neurotransmitter sites in your body. This slight delay between experience and thought can create a momentary sensation of unreality. The same effects are experienced under the influence of marijuana but people do not react with fear in this situation because they are aware it is the drug causing the sensation; it is when the sensation arrives while you are doing your tax returns that things feel a little scary!
I mention depersonalization because the condition is not often spoken about' and to reassure those of you who may have experienced this sensation' that it is only a side–effect of excessive anxiety and will pass as soon as the body learns to relax. Once the body returns to a normal level of relaxation it then has the opportunity to dispel some excess chemicals.
It is very easy to start imagining all the terrible mental illnesses that this could be but don't worry you haven't caused any damage to yourself you will return to the person you were before depersonalization crept in. You will have to trust me on that.
The quickest way out of this disconnected feeling is to really accept it for the time being and have faith that it will pass shortly. Shrug your shoulders and relax into it. You can take this relaxed attitude to it because you know that you will return to normal when you move out of this period of anxiety. It is a phase you are moving through so be patient with yourself while you are in it.
What really moves people out of this sensation quickest is adopting an attitude that all is well. And it is. These unusual sensations of depersonalization are just a nuisance' but it will pass. Not feeling connected to yourself in this manner is solely due to the anxiety in your system and it is then reinforced by your constant checking to see how you are feeling. It is like you are over analyzing yourself all the time and that can make you feel even more strange. I appreciate how uncomfortable it can feel but don't worry about it' it will leave.
Don't let the thoughts sucker you into thinking you are alone and stuck with this feeling of depersonalization all your life. Those thoughts are not valid. The more you can flow along with it and not react the more quickly you will return to feeling more yourself. It takes a little practice but that change in attitude will make a big difference for you.
You will look back in the very near future and wonder what all the fuss was about and that anxious person will seem like the stranger.

Current Residence: Michigan
Favourite photographer: You.
Favourite style of art: unicorn paintings.
Operating System: Mac!
MP3 player of choice: iTunes
Shell of choice: Velveeta
Skin of choice: Clean
Favourite cartoon character: Roger Clotz
Personal Quote: Hey, what's the big idea?
Hey folks,
I'll be at New York Comic-Con this week and I wanted to get the info out there on what I plan on doing/where to find me.
First up: I will have a table in Artist Alley, table R9. Here I will be signing, doing sketches, and selling prints. We will actually have a FREE print this year of Ursula from the Little Mermaid, so swing by to get your hands on that.
I will most likely NOT be there on Thursday. I am going to try to get in and get set up, but my flight doesn't land until 5 pm, so it's not looking good. So if you want to get on the sketch list, it is first come first serve starting Friday morning.
Next up: I will have prints of the covers from Superior Spider-Man 2 and 3 (sold out of 1). And this year, we will be unveiling prints of the covers from issues 17-19. That's right, the covers featuring Spidey 2099!
PRINTS are 1 for $20, 2 for $30, and 3 for $40.
SKETCHES are $200 for a full sketch, and $80 for a bust sketch. These are done on 9 x12 bristol, fully inked. Or you can bring me blank covers and the same pricing applies.
This year I am going to try something new as well $40 5-minute sketches. I will be doing these at a specified time during each day of the show. There will be a sign on my table saying when these will take place. Again, it's first-come first-serve and we'll start a queue and I'll do as many as I can in a row. Should be fun.
SIGNING TIMES will be announced on a sign at my table. I will definitely be at the Marvel booth signing on Saturday from 12-1. At my table I will define a time and you can bring me your books. I will generally sign your books in between sketches as long as you don't have more than a couple. If you have a bunch I have to ask you to wait until the signing times though!
During signing times I will do free Sharpie sketches. I will not be able to do these at any other times besides the signing times, but I wanted to have an option for those of you that can't afford the other options. These sketches I do direct with a Sharpie and they're just head shots. But people seem to like 'em. So if you want one, swing by the table, pick up the free Ursula print and check out the signing times!
And that about covers it! Hope to see you there. As always, I'm there to talk to you guys, so please don't feel like you're bugging me. I can talk and draw at the same time! I love meeting the fans and hanging out. So chat me up! PLEASE! I'M DESPERATE FOR HUMAN INTERACTION!!!!

The Jackson kayak folks want me to upgrade my ride to a 2013 model, so my 2012 Big Tuna is up for sale. It is slate in color, low mileage with just a few scratches from dragging it up boat ramps and beaching it a few times. I didn't have it out as much as I'd like due to lousy weather.
Asking $1200 for it. A new one would cost you $1599. Two seats, hull, and tuna tank are what you get, as I'm keeping all paddles, PFDs and other accessories for the new boat. What are you sacrificing for a '12 model? A few GoPro mounts, one rod holder, and the new Elite seats that have a slight curve to the back. You decide if those features are worth $400. That would buy you a couple of really good paddles and PFDs.
It will be available after I pick up my new boat. The order will go in within 2 weeks and then delivery is usually 2 weeks, so probably around the 7th of June is when I'd be headed that way. PM me or send me an email at flyfish at wamego dot net.
Big Tuna kayak for sale
Here you can offer stuff up for sale or request stuff you want from somebody else.

California Sea Otters: Population Recovery Continues at Slower Rate
Wildlife is both a Biodiversity Resource and a Tourism Asset for CaliforniaCalifornia's southern sea otter, a threatened population on the Endangered Species list, continues to recover, but at a rate that appears to have slowed.
For southern sea otters to be considered for removal from the Endangered Species list, the 3-year running averages would have to exceed 3,090 for 3 continuous years, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Southern Sea Otter Recovery Plan.
Differences in weather conditions, otter distribution and other factors contribute to the year-to-year variance in survey numbers.
Would you like to be an OTTER SPOTTER?
Sea Otter Research MethodsA standardized method to survey sea otters was developed by WERC scientists and put into use in 1982 in California. Survey procedures involve counting animals twice annually, in early autumn and late spring. Two-person teams use binoculars and spotting scopes to count individuals from accessible stretches of coastline and from fixed-wing aircraft in the remaining areas. The counts made from shore are plotted on maps and then entered into a spatial database. The aerial counts are entered directly into a geographic information system-linked database in the aircraft. The survey records the total otter numbers, the number of dependent pups, and the number of independents (adults and subadults), observed. These data, in conjunction with findings from several more in-depth studies provide the necessary information to assess female reproductive rates and changes in reproductive success of the California sea otter population through time.
The surveys, conducted cooperatively by scientists of the U.S. Geological Survey, California Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Monterey Bay Aquarium with the help of experienced volunteers, cover about 375 miles of California coast, from Half Moon Bay south to Santa Barbara. The information gathered will be used by federal and state wildlife agencies in making decisions about the management of this sea mammal.
Spring survey results are used as an indicator of the population trend of California sea otters. No single year's survey result is indicative of a population change, however. To reduce the influence of anomalously high or low counts during any particular year, three-year running averages of the survey results are also used to assess whether the population is growing or declining. Factors that can influence the count include viewing conditions, abundance and species composition of surface canopy kelp, observer experience, and distribution and movements of the animals.

Look into my eyes, what can you see?
Often times you hear someone who's been hurt by another, daring him/ her to look them in the eye. Sometimes we hear people command others to look them in the eye when they are confronting them. For the hopeless romantics, it is about the eyes, that moment your eyes lock right before the supposed 'earth shattering' kiss. So what is all this fuss about the eyes really?
Why so much emphasis on the eyes? I have heard people base sincerity in a relationship on something as insignificant as 'eye contact' and then you start to ask yourself 'what is in the eyes?' Two somewhat identical balls who used to be the guys that make us see. Well, that was before the eyes became a 'thing'…lol.
But then, I kid you not when I say that the eyes are indeed the most expressive organ in the human body. I mean do you know that the eyes bear tales only it knows? Okay try this, get someone to participate in a staring contest with you. No words, no body movement just literally stare at each other and you would be amazed at what you would each see in your eyes.
The troubles of this life can be buried in one's heart even after life bares its fangs and threatens to completely destroy you, you can still bottle it all up inside without letting the world know how you feel or what you have to deal with. According to late Fela Anikulapo Kuti, you can actually be suffering and smiling with the extent of your suffering and pain still unknown to all and all it would take to blow this your faux cover of perfection is your 'eyes'.
The eyes are so mysterious that even you have no control over it. That is why people avoid eye contacts, wear shades, make their eyes appear hooded in the name of Smokey eyes, just to make these mystery balls inaccessible to all. The eyes are indeed a mirror to a person's soul and so I dare you today to say this to that one person you trust, that one person you would let down your walls for, that one person that really matters ; 'Look into my eyes, what can you see?'
Unlike the tongue that has the power to say what it wants to say, the ears that hears but listens to only what it wants to listen to, the nose that pretty much receives and has nothing to give, the eyes cannot show you what you want to see, instead it shows you what there is. Let's just say words like sincerity, originality, depth, pain, sorrow, strength, weakness, love, and passion are the kind of words that lie buried in the eyes.
Kudos to psychologists that have taken out time to study various eye shapes and just how much they say about our personalities. It is actually amazing to know that some people attribute personalities to eye shapes and all. But if you ask me, look into my eyes and whatever you find there is the undiluted version of who I really am. So do you doubt his love for you? Do you think your Boss hates you? Do you still not know which of your friends betrayed you that one time? Do you have something to say to someone and you do not know just how they would react? Well look into their eyes!
Musicians have over time sang about the powerful nature of the eyes. The infamous painting of Monalisa is the greatest painting yet because of the fact that Leonardo da Vinci was able to capture in that work, what came close to what a real eye represents…thus the feeling of being stared at when you look at the said painting. One of life's driving force is the word 'perception' because as human beings our individuality lies in our various perception and perception is all about looking and seeing differently. It is not about your thoughts.
So now, in lieu of crying all night, going about in search for a solution to a problem that is just a stare away, I would say this, get this person to look you in the eye…and you would see right there before you, the solution ;-)

Wood Reproductions in the Spotlight
Almost Indistinguishable From Real Wood
HARO Laminate Flooring has been a lasting success story for 25 years. This is not only due to particularly authentic wood reproductions that are almost indistinguishable from the original but also because of the elaborate technical construction of our laminate floors. Do not expect anything less than highest Premium Quality for lasting joy with your HARO Laminate Floor. Our Laminate Floors mirror nature perfectly, transforming rooms, giving them personality and significance. Our Laminate Floors create a relaxed atmosphere and lastingly enhance the quality of living. The allure of wood is inescapable.
An amazing appearance! Astonishingly authentic, totally natural. Our HARO Laminate Floors make it difficult to distinguish from the original. This comes as no surprise, considering our more than 60 years of experience in the manufacturing of multilayer timber flooring. As a Laminate Flooring Specialist, we have an especially good feel for the most beautiful and natural wood styles, and we know exactly how to display them in the best light. Enter the world of HARO Laminate Floors – and let your rooms be in the spotlight.
What is a laminate floor?
Germany's leading wood flooring specialist offers you perfect wood styles that are almost indistinguishable from the originals. Combined with the selection of authentic surface textures and impressive formats like the trendy Gran Via long plank, these floors will create a 'wow' factor in any home.
90% of all laminate floors are sold with a wood design. Even though this hard-surface floor covering consists of over 90 percent wood, it is resistant to cigarette burns and stiletto heels. Impact and scratch-resistant, easy to maintain, heat and light resistant, and cost-effective – a laminate floor is always a good choice.
A real success story
Northern Europeans are regarded as the inventors of the laminate floor. The first floorboards with light-coloured wood reproductions conquered the market in the mid-80s. They started a one-of-a-kind success story: In the last five years alone, laminate floor sales almost doubled worldwide. The majority of the products still come from German and Austrian manufacturers by the way. But not all products on the market are of this high quality. Cheap laminate flooring with poor quality is also available on the market. Therefore, it is important to check that the product you want to buy bears a reliable product safety label, such as an EU certification mark or the Blue Angel eco label.
For tough cases too
Could you tell a laminate floor apart from a real wood floor at a glance? It certainly is not easy if the laminate floor is made by a timber specialist. One thing that gives away a laminate floor is its thin profile. The advantages of HARO premium laminate flooring are clear: the easy glueless installation of the click laminate, its durability and resistance, and an extended warranty of up to 25 years. Allergy sufferers can breathe a sigh of relief because house dust mites and the like do not stand a chance here. HARO Laminate Floors only contain safe materials that are harmless to health and thus create a healthy indoor climate. For this, they have even been awarded with the 'Blue Angel', a German quality eco-label.
The mixture makes the difference
As mentioned before, a laminate floor is mostly made of wood – but not of wood alone. The extra tough overlay, which contains melamine, and the decorative laminate are pressed together to form an extremely hard-wearing surface. The special moisture control HDF coreboard is resistant to moisture. This coreboard and the balancing laminate at the bottom ensure reliable dimensional stability. They protect the floorboards against warping and ensure that they stay beautiful for a long time.
Good to know: Good reasons for HARO Laminate Floor
When you opt for a laminate floor from HARO, you make a good choice in every respect. As a renowned parquet manufacturer, we can produce especially natural and authentic styles. Real wood is ultimately the expertise that we bring to bear. And because our laminate floors have around a 90 percent wood content, this means they are naturally healthy living. Our production processes also guarantee many years of quality living at the highest level, since in terms of quality, we leave nothing to chance. Our experienced employees check the product quality at every step throughout the production process. Above all, it is the resilience of these high-tech floors that makes them so special. It is not only the look and the surfaces that make them difficult to distinguish from real wooden parquet, our laminate floors are also particularly durable and hard-wearing. For your home this means you can rely on your floor in every respect.
