welcome to bbc news. i'm simon pusey. our top stories: the us warns the russian troop build—up near ukraine is the largest since the cold war as attempts to find a diplomatic solution continue. after days of confusion, the downing street lockdown parties report is now expected to be delivered without waiting for the police inquiry. president biden uses the collapse of a bridge in pittsburgh to emphasise the importance of his $1 trillion infrastructure bill. more doubts emerge about novak djokovic�*s covid status during his attempt to enter australia for the tennis open. and the influential online streaming platform, twitch, accused of encouraging unhealthy behaviour.
hello. russia's president, vladimir putin, says the us and its allies in the nato military alliance have ignored moscow's main security concerns over eastern europe with ukraine at the heart of tensions. the comments were made in a phone call with president macron of france after washington had rejected russian demands that nato rule out ukraine joining the defence alliance. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in kyiv. yes, another momentous day in the growing concern, the crisis between russia and ukraine. telephone calls between world leaders and major capitals, growing concern in allegations and counter allegations about what is happening on ukraine's borders with russia, and
concern about what the future will hold. in the midst of all of these statements emphasising, by russia saying they do not want to go to war, they do not want to go to war, they will not invade ukraine, also statements by those saying that if there is military action, they will be prepared. in the midst of all of it, a press conference, an extraordinary press conference by the ukrainian president, basically saying calm down. expressing concern that all this talk about and escalating prices was itself helping to fuel the escalation. we are going to look in this programme at all of these statements, but let's start in washington where boyd austen was also sending these two parallel messages, that the road for diplomacy was still open, but they were prepared for conflict of conflict came. let's listen to a bit of what he had to say. it has progressed at a consistent

some answers this week — that was until cressida dick, the country's top police officer, said on tuesday that her force was launching its own investigation. the metropolitan police had said then that they had no objections to sue gray's report being published, and in not one, but two statements today, the police insisted they weren't delaying the report. but crucially, they asked for only minimal reference to be made in the cabinet office report to the relevant events, saying this was: so, to translate — they don't want to see too much in the public domain about the more serious allegations of rule—breaking in downing street until they've carried out their own work. the labour leader said this must be done promptly. what i want to see is sue gray's report in full and the investigation finished as quickly as possible, because we're this situation where the whole of government is paralysed.
sue gray's task is to set out the facts about events such as the bring—your—own—booze drinks in the downing street garden and the apparently raucous leaving dos on the eve of prince philip's funeral. other political leaders at westminster have gone so far as to suggest that the met could be helping out borisjohnson if its intervention causes a potentially damaging report to be delayed or diluted. well, first, the met said they had to wait for the sue gray report. now, they say the sue gray report has to wait for the met. so, of course, people feel this looks like a stitch—up. this does look as if it's been a stitch—up, and the only person that benefits from this is borisjohnson. the government are, of course, entitled to raise questions- about... these suggestions were met with derision by this government minister. i don't think any prime - minister would suddenly think it was a great idea to be i interviewed by the police. i know people get excited
by dead cat strategies, i but this is a sort of- trophy—hunted dead lion being slammed on the table, . which i think is hard to say is helpful. i i'm told sue gray was trying to redraft parts of her report to try to address any police concerns. she wanted to avoid redactions — in other words, blanking out whole swathes of text — in case that looked like a whitehall whitewash. but tonight, she seemed to face a choice of either delay or delete. and if anything less than her full report emerges, there'll be a political outcry. many conservatives will be keen to read that full report because some of borisjohnson's own mps will try to oust him if they don't like what they see — just look at what the former occupant of number 10 said in a letter obtained by her local paper. theresa may stated: some say that the events have descended into farce at the heart of government,
but for those directly affected by the tragedy of the pandemic, it's no laughing matter. for the people who are here at the wall every week, painting hearts, it's infuriating, it's distressing and it's really disappointing. tonight, it seems these families, as well as the politicians, are going to have to wait longer for the full picture of what happened in lockdown to become clear. iain watson, bbc news, westminster. a bridge in the us city of pittsburgh has collapsed hours before a visit to the area by president biden to tout the investment his administration is making in america's infrastructure. six vehicles, including a bus, were on the bridge at the time, but no deaths have been reported. here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. it took just seconds for the snow—covered forbes avenue bridge to collapse early on friday morning. steel structure built in 1970 is a common route for motorists travelling into

revealed its condition was deteriorating. efforts are now under way to remove vehicles from the mangled structure, but given the difficult terrain, officials say it could take months to clear up the debris. peter bowes, bbc news. this is bbc news. the headlines: the us has warned that the build—up of russian troops on the ukraine border is the largest since the cold war. earlier, the russian president, vladimir putin, told his french counterpart, emmanuel macron, that he had no plans for an offensive. the report into parties held at downing street during lockdown is expected to be delivered to the prime minister shortly. there had been speculation the report would be delayed. people on the us north east coast are bracing themselves for a powerful winter storm — bringing high winds and heavy snow — due to hit over the weekend. thousands of flights have been cancelled in the region. a short time ago i got the details from meteorologist matthew cappucci, who is in cape cod,
one of the areas due to be worst affected by the storm. here in the north—east we are used to pretty big snowstorms but the impressive thing is not just the amounts for close descent —— ten centimetres an hour can be done at times. we have destructive winds, blizzard conditions and zero visibility. and snowstorms are not unusual at this time of year in that area but what is so special about this one? this one, we are fortunate it is hitting on a weekend but the really impressive thing is that it is undergoing something called explosive intensification. picture rapid intensification with a hurricane, this is doing something rather similar,
it is moving over the golf stream and it is like a vacuum effect and suddenly that much more air can be drawn in, we go from nothing to a hurricane force storm just off the coast and a textbook position to deposit major heavy snows across much of the northeast corridor and big—name cities too, new york, philly, baltimore, boston impacted and especially south—eastern new england. when you talk about those it is an obviously packed full of people, what advice would you give to people who are going to be in the part of this storm? i think here in the north—east, we are used to big snows but really the rates are going to be very impressive, so any time tomorrow on sunday local time and even into early monday morning the rates will likely be in pretty bad states, just because there is so much snow coming down so incredibly quickly. we could see a foot or more of snow in about three or four hours time and all of that snow will have drift upwards of two
or three metres in places that people just need to be prepared. stay home, don't make any plans at all on saturday, watch netflix, planned to be without power, have your medications and nonperishable foods in advance, just be sure you are good to go for about 36 hours because really if you don't have to hit the roads, and it's not an emergency, plan to stay put. research from the bbc, has cast doubt on the timing of the positive covid test result, that novak djokovic recently used, to enter australia. it allowed him exemption from rules barring unvaccinated people. however, the serial number on his test dated december 16th, appears out of sequence with a sample of tests analysed by the bbc. our sports correspondent, natalie pirks, has the details. another day, another media scrum. but as novak djokovic received honorary citizenship in a montenegrin town today, this hero's welcome was a far cry from his treatment in australia. this shot of the unvaccinated star stuck at the border was the beginning of a saga that ultimately saw him deported. fighting to stay, he'd argued he'd been granted an exemption
to play by tennis australia because, very close to the wire, he'd tested positive for covid—19. his legal team presented two covid test certificates to the court from the serbian institute of public health. the first, allegedly taken on december 16, shows a positive result. the second, processed from a different lab six days later, shows a negative one. but a couple of weeks ago, a german research company wondered why the unique confirmation code on the early test was higher than the later one. usually, they're generated in chronological order. the bbc has delved deeper. a total of 56 test certificates were collected and their unique confirmation codes plotted against the date of each result. in all cases, the earlier the result, the lower the unique code. all except one — novak djokovic's positive test on december 16. according to the bbc�*s graph, this confirmation code would actually suggest a test some time between the 25th
and 28th of december. djokovic travelled to australia on january 4. how likely is it that that is a glitch in the system? it's not likely, but we don't know all the aspects and it's possible that there is some other explanation, so i really hope the public institutions will provide transparency and clarify all this. so far, djokovic, the serbian institute of public health, and its office of information technology have not responded to bbc requests for comment. i think everyone's polarised at the moment on novak djokovic, which will be hurtful to him, but it won't do his reputation any good if it's found out that he's been telling porky pies. rafael nadal will contest the australian open final on sunday. locked on 20 grand slams with the serbian, a 21st is unprecedented in men's tennis.
djokovic may only have himself to blame as his rival takes shot at the prize he so covets. natalie pirks, bbc news. playing video games for a living is an aspirational careerfor millions across the world. however, the most influential online streaming platform, twitch, is accused of encouraging unhealthy practices. there are now calls for the billion—dollar company to change the way it operates, as the bbc�*s gaming reporter, steffan powell explains in this exclusive report. singing: welcome to my... what the... like, what?! i'm in trouble! this is twitch, where all day, every day, you'll find people filming themselves playing video games and interacting with viewers. some, like ninja here, can earn big bucks. he's reportedly worth around £18 million. owned by amazon, 30 million people across the globe visit the site daily. traditionally, communal gaming meant coming somewhere like this and sharing
a screen with a mate. but today, online gaming means that people play with friends from all over the world from home, and what online streaming platforms like twitch have done is allowed some to turn that into a job. i missed every shot, i think. laughter. which is what sam, known to her followers as sooshi, did. the former office manager loved it — but is one of many i've spoken to that says they've sacrificed their health to make a living using the site. they say it encourages long periods online. i'd say it had an effect on my confidence a lot. i still, to this day i still don't open the door. like, i don't open the door to anyone. sam took a financial risk to stream for a living. she was online for up to ten hours a day, every day, to pay the bills. that lead to anxiety and symptoms of agoraphobia. i don't think i went out in, like, the first year that i was full time, barely.
maybe to the shop, at a push. it sounds really silly, but i don't really like talking like, it's been so long since i've done it to another human. streamers have told me the longer you're online, the more your channel will grow subscribers and advertising revenue. it is a numbers game with twitch. it's a lot about being on throughout the day as often and as long as you can, so that it's really, really dis—incentivised to stream for short bursts. as a result of these concerns, bbc news has been told that twitch needs to make changes to better protect content creators. it encourages streamers to be on stream for many hours, sometimes 24 hours or more, and that clearly has an effect on people's physical health or mental health. and i think the platforms really need to think about changing the mechanics of the platform, changing the financial model, to protect the health of streamers. in a statement, twitch said that streamers' safety is their number one priority.
they added that advice and mental health resources are available on their site and say that they're developing a new programme to support streamers with the pressures of the job. sam's reduced her hours on twitch now. it got too much. this could be bad... today, she's notjust battling for victory in the virtual world, but also to get a conversation going about healthy streaming practices in the real one. steffan powell, bbc news. a week after his death, the rock star meat loaf�*s most popular album, bat out of hell, has re—entered the uk charts at number three — its highest ever placing. released in 1977, the operatic rock album originally failed to chart at all, only starting to sell the following year when meat loaf appeared on a bbc tv show. it became one of the best selling albums ever
and has accumulated more than 500 weeks on the uk chart. meat loaf died last friday, aged seventy—four. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @sipusey. stay tuned to bbc news. hello there. so far this month, it's been pretty quiet with high pressure dominating the scene. we've had light winds for most, but that's certainly not the case this weekend. northern parts of the country will be impacted by some severe gales at times which could cause some disruption. and we'll see another spell of wet and windy weather during sunday night. higher pressure further south, which means the winds will be lighter, but this deepening area of low pressure's been named by the danish met service as storm malik, and you can see why. plenty of isobars across the north of the uk as this system continues to push down in towards the norwegian sea. widespread yellow wind warnings across the north of the country, gusts of 70—80 mph likely across parts of scotland. an amber warning issued for parts of eastern scotland, could see some impacts from aberdeen down towards edinburgh.
got a weather front sinking southwards through the day. that will bring some cloud to southern england, where it will stay quite mild, but behind it, skies brighten, sunshine and blustery showers but it will be turning colder. it will be very windy for a time across the north and east of the country saturday night, but very quickly a ridge of high pressure builds in. winds will turn lighter, most of the showers will ease down, so under those clear skies with lightening winds, then temperatures will fall. a touch of frost out of town under those clear skies. so, our ridge of high pressure will bring us a fine, settled start for much of sunday, but we'll see the next area of low pressure hurtling into the north west of the country. that's going to bring another round of rain, gales and mountain snow. so, it will start chilly with some frost, but plenty of sunshine for much of england and wales. a bit more cloud for scotland and northern ireland. later in the day, it will start to get wetter and windier across the north west. some mountain snow for scotland and gales developing once again, particularly across the west of scotland and then pushing into
northern ireland, the rest of scotland, then northern england later in the day. those winds always little bit lighter further south, but it will be a chillier day compared to saturday, with temperatures of 4—9 degrees. and then that area of low pressure moves across the north of scotland. we'll see a real squeeze in the isobars. gales or severe gales affecting northern ireland, much of scotland, perhaps the north of england. again, gusts of 70—80 mph for a time, so this could cause some disruption. so, two storms this weekend for the north of britain, which could bring some damaging gusts. we're likely to see some disruption in places, so stay tuned to the forecast. see you later.
the latest headlines: the us has warned that the build—up of russian troops on the ukraine border is the largest since the cold war. earlier, the russian president, vladimir putin, told french president emmanuel macron that he had no plans for an offensive, but that nato had failed to address russia's main demands. after days of confusion over the publishing date of the downing street lockdown parties report, it is now expected to be delivered without waiting for the police inquiry. the exact timing is still unclear. there had been speculation. the report might be delayed because of a metropolitan police request. doubts have emerged over the timing of the positive covid test which the tennis player, novak djokovic, used to enter australia. the serial number appears to be out of sequence with a sample of test results, obtained by the bbc, which had been taken in serbia around the same time. coming up in around 10 minutes' time, we'll have newswatch.

Burnley won 1-0 at Anfield and ended Liverpool’s 68-game unbeaten streak in his stadium, this Thursday in a match on the 18th date of the Premier League.
This defeat, which came after a penalty committed by Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson and which transformed Ashley Barnes in the final leg of the match (seven from the end), leaves the Reds in fourth place, 6 points behind leader Manchester United.
Manchester City and Leicester, second and third with 38 points, are also ahead of Liverpool, who have only 34 points.

But the worst thing for the ‘Reds’ is that this defeat only reveals that the team of Jürgen Klopp, current English champion, is in crisis of results and there are already five days without winning (two defeats and three draws).
And they are already four consecutive games without scoring. No other English football team went through a dry spell like this this season.
“There is always the possibility of losing a game and that’s what happened. It’s my fault.”, admitted after the game the German coach of Liverpool to the Sky Sports channel.
Jurgen Klopp suffers on the Liverpool bench. (AP)
“My job is to make the boys have a good feeling, the dose of confidence that is necessary, that they adopt the good decisions, that type of thing, and clearly it has not been the case tonight, “he added.
Next Sunday Liverpool will visit Old Trafford, although the match against Manchester United corresponds to the fourth round of the FA Cup. The next Premier match will be against José Mourinho’s Tottenham.
The last Premier League team to take Anfield’s three points was Crystal Palace (2-1) on April 23, 2017.
From that moment, and until this Thursday, Liverpool chained 55 wins and 13 draws, a streak, however, that is far from the record in English football, which Chelsea has with 86 games.

Jack's first major case is an investigation into the death of a young woman, found in an isolated caravan. Jack is frustrated in his attempts to identify the woman as the community closes ranks. And what looked at first like accidental death takes on an increasingly sinister hue. Jack uncovers a tangled web of blackmail and sexual abuse, involving the farmer whose field the caravan occupied, a local hotelier, his father's oldest friend and a builder with a reputation for violence. Jack's relentless pursuit of the truth dredges up long-buried crimes and pits him against his new Inspector and Gerry, who may hold the key to the mystery.

André Pieyre de Mandiargues
|André Pieyre de Mandiargues|
14 March 1909|
13 December 1991 82) (aged|
|French literary history|
André Pieyre de Mandiargues (14 March 1909 – 13 December 1991) was a French writer born in Paris. He became an associate of the Surrealists and married the Italian painter Bona Tibertelli de Pisis (a niece of the Italian metaphysical painter Count Filippo Tibertelli de Pisis). He was a particularly close friend of the painter Leonor Fini.
His novel La Marge (1967; Eng: The Margin) won the Prix Goncourt and was made into a film of the same name by Walerian Borowczyk in 1976. It is his collection of pornographic items that is featured in Borowczyk's Une collection particuliere. He also wrote an introduction to Anne Desclos's Story of O.
His book Feu de braise (1959) was published in 1971 in an English translation by April FitzLyon called Blaze of Embers (Calder and Boyars, 1971).
His most popular book was The Motorcycle (1963), which was adapted for the 1968 film The Girl on a Motorcycle, starring a young Marianne Faithfull. Mandiargues was friends with motorcycle journalist Anke-Eve Goldmann, who was likely the inspiration for the main character 'Rebecca', as Goldmann was the first woman to ride a motorcycle with a one-piece leather racing suit, which she designed with German manufacturer Harro.

The Renault Clio Renault Sport has been refreshed for 2016 with a tweaked exterior and updated range.
The Clio RS has been facelifted to keep it in line with the rest of the Clio range, with a tweaked grille, rear bumper and headlights, as well as exclusive front fog lights which form a chequered pattern in the front bumper.
Being the Clio’s motorsport variant, the facelifted Clio RS also plays host to a raft of mechanical upgrades. There’s a choice of three chassis options; Sport, Cup and Trophy, which reflect increasing levels of track-oriented focus, with Sport being the most road-friendly.
The Trophy is the most hardcore of the three, so will be the least comfortable and more suited to track driving than Britain’s bumpy public roads.

Canopy is a new restaurant by the same owners of Shade. I read an article that said the mural in the restaurant was a photo of the tree on the Rice campus where Claire Smith attended and another one of a tree in her backyard. Just needless information, but it does have a large presence in the restuarant, so it's just a tidbit of information. The restaurant has a retro modern vibe, woody, muted greens, etc. I remember this building it used to house a wine bar, I forget the name.
I asked our waiter what was the most popular dish, she said it was the crispy chicken sandwich. I subbed the blue cheese for cheddar at her suggestion. When it came out, I kept thinking, damn this is so good! I usually only eat half of my sandwiches, but this I almost ate the entire thing. The chips are made in house.
I asked my dining mate what he thought, he thought it was awesome as well. If you can get over the grease, I believe it had bacon, a crispy fried chicken, avocado, butter drenched bread, but man, it was soooo good! We had the Ice Box Lemon cake, yum as well!

BEIRUT: The UN children’s agency called on Sunday for all minors held in displacement camps or jails in northeast Syria to be allowed home.
The Unicef made its plea a day after three children died in a fire at the overcrowded camp of Al Hol for people displaced in the fight against the militant Islamic State group.
After years of leading the US-backed fight against IS, Syria’s Kurds hold thousands of alleged jihadist fighters in jails and tens of thousands of their family members in camps in northeast Syria.
They hail from Syria, neighbouring Iraq and dozens of other foreign countries. Many are children.
“In the northeast of Syria, there are more than 22,000 foreign children from at least 60 nationalities who languish in camps and prisons, in addition to many thousands of Syrian children,” UNICEF regional director Ted Chaiban said.

I have been using this pump all summer to keep my boat, lawn tractor and a whole bunch of other stuff filled up around here. I still use 5 gallon containers for their portability and even with 10 of those I'll have to fill them twice to get through the summer. This pump has been great for my needs. If you are sick and tired of having to hold a 5 gallon container of fuel in the air while attempting to get those funky nozzles to work, buy this pump.
So far it’s working as well as I had hoped. Nothing is perfect when trying to transfer gas, but this does a very decent job. You need to make sure to lift the nozzle and hose up at the end of the fuel transfer to allow any residual fuel to run back into the tank or it will dribble out all over. It empties most of a five gallon gas can in a couple minutes without having to lift and hold the can up which is exactly what I wanted.

Bron: My Mom, cir. 1970'S
Spaghetti and Meatballs are an all time classic! You find this dish on just about every Italian restaurant’s menu, and it’s also a dish I never order in a restaurant, because I’m never happy with it.
My mom must have spoiled me, because honestly, nobody makes this dish better than my mom. Maybe it’s her slow-cook method for her red sauce, or just the perfect combination of ingredients from her meatballs, but it’s a slam dunk hit! In restaurants, the dish is always mediocre to less than mediocre. The meatballs are usually huge, and rather tasteless, while the spaghetti sauce is always lacking.
It’s my frustration with the Italian restaurants in America. Echter, when I go to Italian restaurants in Italy, or Ticino (Italian side of Switzerland) and order this dish, the taste is just like home. I don’t know what the American/Italian’s are doing…but they have a bit of work to do in my opinion.
This is a lovely recipe, passed down from my mom, and my Nonna. It’s been in our family, circulating around the table for over a hundred years! Gemakkelijk, heerlijk, happy. 😉
Spaghetti en gehaktballen
- 1 pond fresh ground meat beef, Turkije, kip, varkensvlees
- 1/4 beker broodkruimels
- 1 medium ei
- 1-2 theelepel kruiden rosmarijn, oregano
- 2 theelepel zout
- 1 theelepel bouillon base powder, beef if possible
- 1 theelepel gember droog
- 1/4 beker grated parmesan
- 1 theelepel anijszaad facultatief
- 1-2 theelepel gemalen zwarte peper
- 1 theelepel mosterd-
- 2 theelepel birds eye chili’s
- 1 klein ui fijne blokjes
- 2-3 kruidnagel knoflook fijngemaakt
- 1 pond spaghetti
- 1 groot pot of red sauce slow-cooked all day.
- combine all ingredients together and mix up with your hands to combine
- form individual balls, trying to keep them roughly all the same size
- bake in the oven @ 200 Celsius voor ongeveer 20 mijn, or until they are brown.
- when they are cooked, put them in the red sauce you have cooking on the stove. This allows them to suck up the sauce, and be a bit on the soft side after baking
- dienen en te genieten!

Wednesday is answer-questions-day. See how my blog is falling into a nice pattern here?
Monday: Status update on writing projects, publishing, queries. Writing prompt to kick start the week!
Tuesday: Shout Outs! I talk about websites, music, books, poetry, and other authors/bloggers that I find helpful.
Wednesday: Q&A day. A day where I answer questions. Either from the comments section, or common questions that authors/human beings receive.
Friday: “Five for Friday” and stuff that’s in the news. I also thought I could have interviews and post them on Fridays.
Thursday, Saturday, and Sundays are To Be Announced. Either I will post about what’s on my mind (a scary thought, I know), or a problem I have noticed, or a grab bag. It’s a surprise!
So, today’s question: How do you stay interested in a book for so long?
I hear that one many times, usually from non-writers, but some writers too. They lose interest in a book idea, or set one aside, and try to come back to their idea, only to discover that they haven’t the slightest clue what they were getting at.
Life happens. Sometimes you get excited about an idea and for whatever reason, you have to set that shiny new idea down. But coming back once life allows you too isn’t always easy. It’s hard to get excited about it again, once the dust settles and time passes. Likewise, you may work on an idea, coax it into a plot, and start writing, only to discover three months, six months, maybe even a year later, that you loss interest, and other, shinier ideas are starting to crowd you. Been there, done that as well.
That’s why I hypnotize myself while writing.
In the beginning, when I first have an idea, I do everything I can to capture the feel, the tone, the mood of the idea. Let’s say the idea I have is about monkey cowboys. I was at the zoo one day, and saw the chimps swinging around, and saw one lone chimp, standing off to the side, like he was an outlaw. And I started to think…what if?
So let’s say I want to write a western with chimps. I write the idea down and brainstorm. Normally this process takes a few days, if not longer, to gather all of the things I associate with my idea, we’ll call it “Monkey on the Run”. I look through my folder of character pictures I have collected (in this case, I would have to start a new search for chimps, since I am specist, and only have humanoids in my character picture folder) and pick out some pictures to go with my characters. I start a new playlist in my itunes, entitled “Monkey on the Run” and fill it up with Bon Jovi songs (he sings about being a cowboy A LOT), country music songs, and any other songs that I might associate with the book. If I used the song-inspiration method I described on Monday, then I add those songs into the playlist. I find pictures of deserts, like Arizona, and maybe even rent/buy some classic Western movies to get an idea on common motifs in westerns.
During this process I am also writing down every idea that occurs to me. My early plots tend to be over complication and crowded, because I employ the “stew method” and just throw whatever sounds good into the plot. Then the plot elements start to fight with each other, and the things that no longer apply start to weed themselves out, like a literary Thunderdome, and I have myself a complex plot with new twists. I do a lot of pre-plotting stuff, brainstorming for plot twists, character motivations, and some worldbuilding (even if it’s set on Earth. Unless you’re writing about your home town, I suggest you do a lot of research into the town you’re setting your story. Lack of anchored setting is rampant these days and can be a silent killer for your book, and ever worse, once it’s there, it’s hard to detect.) You might not do all of that, so plan out whatever works for you.
I have noticed that as I am collecting these allusions—poems, songs, pictures, movies—that my brain files all of this away, and I start coming up with random associations. Like before, when I made the Thunderdome reference, I thought about how the post apocalyptic element could really work with my Outlaw chimp. *Cue “Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi* Maybe instead of a regular desert town, he’s traveling across a war torn wasteland of a country, bringing his own brand of justice to towns that need him dearly, and are willing to pay him any price to keep the roving bands of gorilla from destroying their precious banana crops. See how that works? The process of gathering things that remind you of your story will also in turn spin you more ideas for your story, like a Midgard Serpent of allusions. Sometimes I find a cool picture in a magazine while on this inspiration hunt, and not only does it look like the town the Outlaw chimp will make his last stand in, but there’s another character in the picture too. Perhaps a clown with a top hat and a sawed off shot gun. In that event, I get an idea for another character, maybe the Outlaw chimp’s sidekick.
And the really, really awesome thing about this hunt? The world of your story starts to breathe, starts to feel really REAL. When I sit down to write the story, I have my playlist playing, and maybe some of the magazine pictures tapped to the wall, and the fake book cover I made as my wallpaper on my computer, it’s so much easier to immerse myself in the story world.
And even more awesome than that? This false world will hold indefinitely. I can attest to that fact from experience. I have several ideas I have developed past the “chimp is an outlaw, a rebel without a cause, but addicted to Panama gold bananas” stage. These ideas were tabled for one reason or another, but every time I open the folder for the story, all I have to do is start the playlist, take a quick peak through the character list, and read through some of my story ideas, and I am immersed in the story idea again. It feels whole, and real. It’s no longer a hypothetical story that I might write someday, but something breathing. I am currently debating on three different stories to start working on, each of which are in various stages of development. But I got far enough in developing each of this stories that I could just as easily immerse myself in any of the idea again, with a little bit of reading through the stuff I have typed out.
This also helps during the editing process. When I get stuck with a story element while editing, I look at some pictures, or read over some of my notes. I play the playlist while editing, and maybe read over a poem I found that seemed really appropriate. All of this helps me get into the mindset of the book again, helps me rekindle my excitement and fervor for the story, no matter how “old” the idea is. This keeps me going, and continues to make the story seem real to me. After I started doing this, a story never seemed stale to me again. I can not think about a story for months, reopen the story file, and it immediately comes alive to me again.
It’s magical, and slightly like having multiple personality disorder, but it works wonders. Of course, you don’t want to spend months and months doing this. You do need to get around to actually writing the book. But a little bit of leg work could help you stay on track, and when you falter, remind you of exactly why you love the idea to begin with.

A question about base price for print books
Does anyone know why the base price for print books in distribution is higher than on Lulu. I made a print book which Lulu said would have a base price of $ 1.89 and it did, on Lulu, but the base price for distribution was $ 2.14. That $0.25 makes a huge difference to the selling price you need to set, with Amazon taking half of the selling price as their cut.
I thought books distributed to Amazon were printed by Amazon. Surely their base price should be lower than Lulu's?
I find print books extremely frustrating. It is difficult to set a reasonable price and earn a decent royalty. I wanted to charge $4.99 for my book but that would have given me a royalty of $0.28. I can get more than that for a $0.99 ebook!
I know that loads of people here make print books. What am I missing? Do you all bulk buy and sell them yourselves or do you manage to sell at what would appear to be prohibitive prices?

The weather has actually been mild this winter. Sure, there are few stretches of sub zero weather that were responsible for a transfer of wealth; my bank account to the oil company’s bank account, but snowfall was infrequent and moderate and the driveway black top has been visible more days than not. With high hopes of an early spring, my thoughts have shifted to a fishing boat. Something high speed with luxury accommodations for Sebago Lake would be ideal, but a light portable is more realistic… see previous “transfer of wealth”.
I don’t want to trailer a boat, simply because I can’t back up with anything connected to a hitch. I am still getting out from under the garden tractor with lawn trailer incident of 2004. That one left the vehicle and attachment severely jackknifed and abandoned at the end of the trail to the compost pile turn around. Still there. Then there was the 2012, 103 point back in at the public boat launch incident. That 12′ skiff was SO close to water. That proved to be a great example of how boating mob anger can be harnessed and channeled to get a boat off of a trailer, even if not to place it specifically in the water.
What I need is an inflatable with a solid hull, floor and seats that can hold six people, take a 50 horse power outboard and weighs no more than 80 pounds, total. I would even be willing to go for the boat and motor each weighing 80 lbs, but it all has to fit in the back of a Ford Escape. Until I find such a packaged craft, I will continue as a client of Pete’s Pontoon Boats and Bait.
Useful packages that actually exist
The Ruger American Rifle with Vortex Crossfire II Rifle scope is what a North American big game hunting rifle looks like when you strip away all of the pretense, peacock feathers and need to be different criteria from firearm selection.
In regard to chamber, there is not a deer, moose, elk or bear that can’t be dropped convincingly with the 30-06 Springfield and appropriately selected bullets. The scope magnification range is ideal and the scope’s performance specifications are impressive. With a bundled MSRP of $639, they can be purchased on Gun Broker, all day long, for under $500.

|Weight of Firearm||7.1 Lbs|
Before I go on with my 30-06 Springfield obcession, I should note that this Ruger American Rifle – Vortex scope package is not the only combination available. There are models chambered for the: 204 Ruger, 223 Remington, 243 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, 270 Winchester, 308 Winchester, as well. Barrel length is consistently 22″, some barrels are threaded for muzzle devices.
Some models feature the rotary magazine, others accept AR types or AI type magazines, and some models are equipped with a 4-12×44 Vortex Crossfire II scope. The Ruger site has a complete and current list of available models. Regardless the model, all American Rifles hold some design features in common that make them uniquely Ruger.
It may be inexpensive, but it certainly isn’t cheaply made…
Controls on the American Rifle are well placed. The low 70° bolt lift clears low mounted, large eyepiece scopes. The cocked indicator is a good quick check tool and the tang safety is within natural reach.
The three lug bolt head provides a shallow 70º lift for good scope clearance and the larger surface area of engagement for greater strength. A cartridge case head is recessed for better containment, the sliding extractor allows for a solid bolt face with nothing residing in the recess other than the plunger type ejector. Ruger American below left, next to a twin lug Remington Model 700.
The bolt is full diameter, or about the same as the diameter of the bolt lugs. The Ruger American’s bolt throw is very smooth, as the bolt rides on its major diameter rather than receiver slots that accommodate a two lug bolt design.
The Ruger American Rifle utilizes dual cocking cams to tension the firing pin. By spreading the lift load over two cams, the surface area is increased and required cocking effort is decreased, which allows the firing spring rate to remain relatively high and lock time relatively short. It all contributes to ease of operation and accuracy.
The Ruger Marksman Adjustable Trigger, left next to M77 trigger, is adjustable for pull weight, three to five pounds in half turn increments, over six complete turns. Additionally, a trigger release lever, hinged into the face of the trigger, effectively blocks the trigger unless the shooter has completely depressed the release lever.
The Ruger’s Power Bedding System is one of those “heart of the product” feature. Clamping the notches in the bottom the receiver to the bedding blocks in the stock, while floating all of the other surfaces assures consistent loading and consistent contact. The results is an incredibly accurate sporter. My experience with a variety of chambers has always been the same; sub MOA precision.
Good scope, not sure how I feel about the name…
We’ve worked with Vortex Scopes before, the last a Viper HS LR model that performed well. The Crossfire II is a Vortex value product, but still full featured and nicely made and more than enough scope to get the job done. The Crossfire II 3-9×40 certainly has enough magnification for the cartridge, eye relief is generous, the optic are bright and the compensating reticle is useful if the owner calibrates to his or her individual firearm and ammunition and power setting.
The vertical below the crossed hairs reticle subtentions, the little tic marks on the cross hairs, represent holdover values of : 1.5 MOA, 4.5 MOA and 7.5 MOA regardless the range, however, MOA value is only true when the scope is at a 9x setting. At that magnification, as long as the distance is known, not only can a precise hold over be determined, but so can the size of a target. I think this is a better choice than a first focal plane reticle for most people and situations as the apparent reticle size remains constant, thin, which makes it easier for use at a distance. A first position focal plane reticle grows with magnification, so subtention scale is true across the magnification range, however, cross hairs get as thick as 2x4s. Ruger made the right selection. Pictured bellow with tower caps removed –
I think it is safe to assume that most people will just use the intersecting cross hairs for sighting in and aiming and save the rest of the possibilities for impressing friends and anyone else they can corner at the range, Which is why it is important to note the scope has exterior multi coated optics to cut reflection and promote light transmission, the one piece machined aluminum tube is O ring sealed to keep out debris and small animals, the scope if nitrogen purged to prevent fogging, and the turret adjustment settings can be reindexed to zero after sighting in to facilitate field adjustment. If you read all of that and thought blah, blah, blah, at least note that the Vortex scope carries a life time parts and labor warranty.
Now about that thirty aught six
I grew up shooting the 30-06 Springfield in old 1903 Springfield, Model 1917 U.S. Enfield and M1 Garand rifles, and a lot of surplus .30 caliber ball ammo, under the auspices of CMP supported marksmanship training organizations. The 7.62 NATO was still an upstart cartridge hiding behind the 308 Winchester moniker and considered diminished power. The 300 Winchester Magnum was for folks who couldn’t shoot well and thought the magnum nomenclature would cause big game to surrender without a fight. My preference was the 30-06 because I had access to rifles and ammunition.
With 180 grain loads, the 30-06 Springfield is approximately 100 fps faster than the 308 Winchester and approximately 250 fps slower than the 300 Winchester Magnum. Shooting the 308 Winchester and 30-06 Springfield side by side, it is hard to discern a difference in recoil or muzzle blast. Shooting a 30-06 Springfield along side of a 300 Magnum, it is quite easy to tell one from the other in terms of recoil and muzzle blast. Subsequently, I usually grab the penalty-less 100 fps and leave the 250 fps to the feel this is necessary.
Anyone who has shot a 30-06 Springfield knows it garners attention on both ends. In fact, it was a single deer season with a steel butt plate, early Remington Model 700 that got me hunting with the 243 Winchester. Subsequently, better recoil pads and stock geometry reconnected me with the 30-06 Springfield cartridge. It is a cartridge of moderate capacity and wide bullet selection that makes it a natural for the handloader. In factory ammo, the 308 Winchester is available in 152 loads, the 30-06 Springfield 126 and the 300 Magnum is sporting 88. In short, they are all amazingly old yet popular cartridges. Did I mention my favorite is the ’06?
|30-06 Springfield 180 grain – Point Blank 247 Yards +3″ Ordinate
|Velocity – fps||2796||2678||2564||2452||2344||2238||2135|
|Energy – ft.-lbs.||3124||2867||2627||2403||2195||2001||1822|
|Momentum – lbs-sec||72||69||66||63||60||58||55|

|Time Of Flight – sec.||0.00||0.05||0.11||0.17||0.23||0.30||0.37|
Dropping down to 125 grains and picking up muzzle velocity, at 300 yards the 125 grain has slowed to the same 300 yard velocity as the 180 grain bullet and the 180 grain bullet has retained 30% greater kinetic energy. The 125 grain bullet extends point blank range by only 10 yards.
Part 1 Conclusions
The Ruger American Rifle with Vortex scope is a trouble free piece of equipment that can get the job done and last for a very long time. If I had children or grandchildren at an age where they were getting started with hunting, the American Rifle would make for a good gift. My the same token, the American Rifle is well suited to the experienced hunter where accuracy and reliability are key performance features. We’ll take a short break, handload some ammo and shoot it along side factory ammo.


BOSCOBEL - This week, tax assessors are going house by house through the City of Boscobel. Their mission: To photograph every property in town and make sure the data in their records is correct. Next year, the number-crunchers at the firm Accurate will use that data to reassess the value of every property in the city.
The actual reassessment—adjusting the value of your home, and hence the amount of your taxes—won’t be complete until 2023. Property owners won’t see any change to their 2022 property values.
Boscobel’s reassessment is a product of Wisconsin statutes, which require that real estate be taxed at 90 percent of its market value. Currently, the city is taxing at a value of about 78 percent, which triggered the reassessment, according to City Administrator Misty Molzof. The city has budgeted $100,000 for the reassessment process.
Assessment vs appraisal
If you’ve ever bought or sold property, you’ve probably seen a real estate appraisal. That process is completely different from assessment, according to Chris Plamann, Accurate’s director of marketing and sales, who is also an assessor.
For an appraisal, a real estate agent finds five or six “comparable” recent home sales on properties similar to the one they’re appraising. “An appraiser can cherry-pick all the high ones,” Plamann said. “They’re going to try to find you that high value for a sale.”
An assessor takes the opposite approach by removing “outliers”—homes that sell much higher or lower than the going rate, he said.
“What we’re looking at is the broad picture, using a statistical model,” Plamann said. The goal, he explained, is to come up with an average that can be used as a baseline to evaluate individual properties.
“Let’s say hypothetically that on average, ranch properties have increased in value by 36 percent. But there are many properties of a home that can impact how much any individual house has increased in value—the kitchen, the siding, all kinds of things—so maybe a particular ranch house has only increased by 34 percent,” he explained.
So, what’s the bottom line? Will taxes go up? That’s not a simple question.
On the one hand, if a property increases in value, then its tax assessment also increases. And generally speaking, most property will have increased in value.
The picture is more complex than that, however. Real estate taxes are determined by the total budgets of the municipality, county, school district, and tech school budgets all added up. That grand total is divided by the total assessed value of the area under taxation. That determines the “mil rate,” which is the dollar amount of tax due on one every $1,000-worth of property. (A mill rate of 1 would mean $1 of tax owed for every $1,000 of the value of the property, for instance.)
It’s simple math, as Plamann explained—if the total assessed value of a jurisdiction goes up, and the total budgets of all the taxing agencies stay the same, then the mil rate—the amount that any individual pays on their taxes—will go down. And as a rule of thumb, the mil rate comes down at about the same percentage that the assessment goes up. In 2021, about 46 percent of Boscobel’s real estate taxes went to the city.

You will find a growing list of books on this page, together with my personal opinions and recommendations. I provide a summary of information outlined in the books, as well as a short commentary, as I don't necessarily agree with everything that these books contain. Therefore, this is a general reading list and as with everything, you will feel drawn more to some books than the others. You can access more info on each book (ISDN etc.) by clicking on the image or the name of the book.
A classic text in the field of energy healing, it is a great starting point. It describes in detail the structure and function of different chakras and levels of the human energy field, the so-called energy-consciousness system. It also contains descriptions of different psychological character structures (types), habitual ways of running energy and the most common energetic blocks. Importantly, it describes Brennan's understanding of the healing process and the importance of taking responsibility for one's healing. Finally, it considers how we can use our senses to gain greater awareness of our own and client's process, referring to it as high sense perception.
As this was Dr Brennan's first work, published in the 80s, it reflects her initial understanding and ideas, some of which have evolved and changed since then. In addition, some of the information provided is based on advice available in the 80s and is outdated by today's standards. Therefore, I recommend this book if you'd like a clearer understanding of the human energy field, while using your own discernment in terms of which advice to follow and what is no longer recommended (e.g. advice on how to clean your fruit and veg).
Dr Brennan's second book includes an expanded understanding of different dimensions, the healing and creative processes, based on her later experiences. While expanding on the auric dimension (e.g. interactions that can take place between people), in the Light Emerging she describes two additional dimensions: the so-called haric dimension (level of intention) and the dimension of essence, the so-called core star.
Brennan's model describes how deep down we all have a unique essence. However, as this essence is manifested in the physical dimension, in the world we are so used to, there can be distortions. Nevertheless, our essence, our true selves stay perfect and are full of unlimited potential. Healing can then be seen as bringing our essence via the haric dimension, into the auric dimension and finally into the physical. This view also helps us to have more compassion for ourselves and others, as we understand that everyone's true self is beautiful, even if it sometimes feels difficult to connect to that truth.
Dr Grof is a psychiatrist, a pioneer consciousness researcher, and one of the founders of Transpersonal Psychology. In Psychology of the Future, one of many of Dr Grof's books, he provides a comprehensive overview of his groundbreaking ideas, making it a good introduction to his work. This book outlines his understanding of the healing and transformative process, especially in relation to what he calls the non-ordinary states of consciousness (referred to as "altered states" by many others).
His ideas are based on his extensive experience in working with non-ordinary states, personally and with others, through the therapeutic use of psychedelic substances and a breathing-based method called Holotropic Breathwork. Grof's significant contribution to the field of psychology is his expanded map of the human psyche which includes one's memories of their birth experience, as well as the more Jungian archetypal dimensions, the transpersonal.
The Ultimate Journey is a third book written by Robert Monroe, known for his research on, and experimentation with, out-of-body experiences. The reason why I am recommending his third book and not all three is that I find the first book Journeys out of the Body a difficult read. His second book Far Journeys contains interesting information and is easier to read. However, the Ultimate Journey contains Monroe's latest ideas and his evolved understanding of his experiences, including those described in the initial books.
If you have the time and the patience it makes sense to start from the beginning. However, the Ultimate Journey on its own is highly informative and will inspire you to ask the bigger questions in life, and perhaps start experimenting yourself.
In this book, Dr Bentall, a clinical psychologist, takes a critical approach to the current state of psychiatric treatments, especially the psychopharmacological interventions. His work has been criticised by some to be biased, and anti-psychopharmacological, causing controversy. Perhaps, this is to be expected if you question the status quo. In my view, his approach is balanced and grounded. Dr Bentall's work is based on latest research, providing information on which psychiatric treatments have been proven to work and those that need to be reconsidered.
His previous book Madness Explained is also highly informative, although more suitable for readers with an academic background. Similar and updated information is presented in Doctoring the Mind in a more accessible format, although in less detail.
You've probably often heard the terms mesmerised and hypnotised used interchangeably. Generally speaking, Hypnotism was developed by James Braid, a Scottish physician, in opposition to Mesmerists' ideas and theories. From Mesmer to Freud outlines the complex relationship between these two, and the heterogeneity of views within each movement.
It also provides a good historical overview of energy healing practices and roots of the field of psychology in general. Highly informative and comprehensive, it is a great start if you're interested in the historical background of psychological therapies, providing a context for today's state of affairs.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals provided $300,000 to sponsor the Humane Alliance of Western North Carolina's National Spay/Neuter Response Team in assisting organizations with starting 12 high-volume sterilization clinics across the country this year.
Twenty-two organizations around the country have applied to open clinics, and a minimum of 12 of the 22 will open this year, the ASPCA announced in June. These organizations will partner with hundreds of local animal shelters and rescue groups in their regions.
The Humane Alliance of Western North Carolina describes itself as a nonprofit, high volume, high quality, affordable spay/neuter clinic. It is located in Asheville. Since its inception 12 years ago, the Humane Alliance clinic has sterilized 180,000 dogs and cats and reduced the euthanasia rate in the Asheville community by 72 percent, the ASPCA stated.
Through the NSNRT initiative, which began in 2005, the Humane Alliance's team of facilitators has mentored 21 organizations across the nation in successfully implementing its high volume sterilization model. More than 200,000 dogs and cats have been surgically sterilized at these clinics in two short years, according to the ASPCA.
The team sends groups of trained veterinarians and veterinary technicians to teach nonprofit organizations how to open spay/neuter clinics using the Humane Alliance model. Six organizations have been trained this year so far, according to the ASPCA.
