Finally, a book that demystifies our daunting education system by giving parents the insights and strategies they need to build positive relationships with teachers and connect to their children's learning in productive ways.
Involved Parents = Better Students

Decades of research confirm that when parents engage with their children's learning, kids do better in school—and life. This straight-talking guide helps you:
• understand the critical role you play in your child's education,
• connect with educators in respectful ways,
• encourage a love of reading in your kids,
• minimize homework meltdowns and disorganization,
• support students who struggle academically,
• help children navigate social situations and bullying, and
• fuel your child's mind and body for learning.
Parent involvement looks different for every family and every child. Packed with real stories and tested strategies, The Parent Backpack demystifies our complex education system and gives you the insights you need to help your kids thrive.
Editorial Reviews
—Parade , July 2013
"A smart, wise, and practical book every parent of a young child should own. What a trove of information; read this beautifully composed guide, sleep well, and enjoy with confidence your child's education."
—Edward Hallowell, MD, author, The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness
"ML Nichols has given parents a long-overdue map through the 'minefield' of elementary education: where to turn and what to say and do (in and out of school) to become an effective advocate for your child."
—Jim Trelease, author, The Read-Aloud Handbook
"As a psychologist and parent of three elementary-age children, I highly recommend this book. Its concrete strategies empower you to build strong partnerships with teachers and tap your child's natural motivation to learn."
—Dr. Donna Pincus, author, Growing Up Brave
"In this approachable guide, Nichols offers practical advice to parents on everything from how to select a kindergarten program to how to write appropriate e-mails to your child's teacher. Nichols, the director of the Parent Connection, a nonprofit parent education group, has extensive knowledge of the ins and outs of the early years of a child's education. All parents will benefit from the early chapters providing specifics about the current generation of elementary schools, and suggestions for what parents can do to ensure their children's success within the changing system."
—Publisher's Weekly
"Every so often, I run across a book so good it belongs on every family's shelf. That's the case with The Parent Backpack. Author ML Nichols, director of the nonprofit, The Parent Connection, has written a guide for surviving and thriving in elementary school. She explains the system—from testing to special education to how administrators choose your kids' next teacher. Best of all, she outlines what to expect academically at different ages, defines fancy edu-terms, and offers advice for advocating for your child. Hopefully, you won't need to contact the teacher and principal often—but if you do, this book provides fantastic strategies."

Read an Excerpt
How to Use This Book
The Parent Backpack for Kindergarten through Grade 5 is divided into three parts. Part one provides you with the big picture—the insights and perspective you need to be involved in your kid's education in the right ways. These first four chapters give you a solid foundation for understanding your child's journey, where education stands today, the important role you play as a parent, how to get involved, and what to expect. Part two gives you the background, practical tips, and tools you'll need to navigate the many different phases you'll discover as a parent of an elementary student—from learning to read to managing the social-emotional journey and communicating with teachers. Part three provides you with everything you need to know to support your children's learning at home, including how to fuel little brains and bodies, end homework battles, and coach your kids on advocating for themselves.
If you're feeling eager to jump ahead to a chapter that deals specifically with an issue that you need help with now, by all means, do that. This book can be read from beginning to end or by skipping around to relevant chapters. Be sure to read the first few chapters so you gain an understanding of the system, where it's been, where it's headed, and why your role in your child's educational journey is so crucial. It's important to understand where things stand and what to watch out for so you can be an effective advocate for your child.
Throughout the book, I share stories about real kids, real parents, and real teachers who have grappled with the same questions and situations that you might be experiencing. The names have been changed, but all of these stories are based on situations that I either experienced or heard about in consultations, interviews, or focus groups. Each chapter also ends with a list of Top Ten Takeaways. These are key summary points from each chapter: what to consider, to avoid, and to do. You can refer back to these takeaways after you've read the book. They are the reminders that we all need—that I still need—no matter how hard we try to parent well around education. It's not always easy to do, especially in this busy, activity-crazed world we live in, but it is doable.
Getting involved in your child's education today is tricky. No matter what zip code you live in or what school your child attends, there has never been more controversy about how we educate our children. Most of our schools struggle with test-driven mandates, higher expectations, underfunded budgets, and teachers who need more support. Add to this our hypercompetitive culture, and it all adds up to growing tension and fear among parents, teachers, and kids. Tension that trickles down even to our kindergarten classrooms. Expectations for student achievement turn some reasonable, levelheaded parents into unreasonable watchdogs, who often watch the wrong things, while other parents run the other way and hope for the best.
Our world is changing faster than our schools. Connecting to our children's learning has never been more challenging—or more important. Our system has become so overburdened that in most schools, we parents have to advocate for our children more than ever before. But how we do that makes all the difference. The more parents we have who support education and advocate for their kids' needs in effective ways, the better our schools will be. It's up to parents and teachers to work together so that our children do get the best education possible.
I hope that The Parent Backpack helps to bridge the gap between parents and teachers. I hope it inspires you to support, encourage, and guide your children to do the best they can, knowing that their best will look different every day, and to cherish those questions that keep your kids' curiosity alive. I hope the tools in each chapter help you advocate effectively for what your child needs. Most of all, I hope The Parent Backpack helps you discover and celebrate the joy within your child's journey

this book gave us exactly what we need. it tells you what to expect at each grade, what questions to ask teachers, and how to help with home work. and the best part is at the end of each chapter, the TOP TEN TAKEAWAYS sum it all up
I'm glad I came across this book while my kids are still young. The author uses real-world, relatable examples to show readers how to help kids learn (at home and school). I especially appreciated the advice on how to advocate for your child at school--there's an art to getting results without pushing too hard. The Parent Backpack is ideal for anyone who needs a primer on early education, from fostering reading and writing skills to how to stop bullying. Thumbs up!
Great info. Wish I had this book when my oldest started school. Love the tips on how your child learns and the social emotional stuff.

Composer Chris Walden Creates Jazz Infused Score for King of Herrings
Chris Walden scored the film using only six instruments including trumpet, celesta, and a 150 year old harmonia.
King of Herrings
(West Hollywood, CA) September 5, 2012— Four- time Grammy nominated composer, arranger and conductor Chris Walden is scoring the indie black and white feature film King of Herrings. Co- written and co-directed by actor Eddie Jemison (Ocean's Eleven) and Sean Richardson (GoodbyeHello)
Chris Walden said, "Limiting myself to only six instruments and three players, including myself, it allowed me to explore my creativity. I incorporated jazz motifs reminiscent of New Orleans during this time period mixed with an edgy, acoustic, experimental sound." Director Eddie Jemison stated, "I wanted the music to create textures around the dialogue and Chris's score does that and more."
Chris Walden is a four time Grammy nominated composer, arranger and conductor. Walden has written over 400 arrangements, scored over 40 feature and television films, and conducted orchestras around the world. He has worked with music icons Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Christina Aguilera. His television arranging credits include American Idol, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and two live performances at the Super Bowl. He recently arranged and conducted Michael Buble's Christmas album, Christmas, produced by David Foster and Arturo Sandoval's tribute album to Dizzy Gillespie, Dear Diz.
Walden's talent as a musician and conductor is evident from his recent performances. He recently conducted The Ray Charles tribute concert at the Hollywood Bowl, Ray Charles Genius + Jazz= Soul. He also conducted and played trumpet with the Chris Walden Big Band along with Tierney Sutton at Vitello's Jazz & Supper Club. Chris Walden's newest projects include full orchestral arrangements on Glee star Matthew Morrison's sophomore album and Keith Harkin's debut self- titled album, Keith Harkin, available September 18, 2012.

The method is listed in there book on installations and seems like a possible option...the protable kit is also an option.

A week later, things are quite as normal as before. Everything became a routine; including the fact that I was now working in the patisserie and that Sam was living with me. I became so attatched to her even though it has been a short period of time. She would treat me as her sister and sometimes she would serve as my therapist. Anyhow, I've been playing piano since then and I noticed that I had lost many of my skills. Everyday I would remember the magnificent performance of that anonymous man. I craved that position. To perform in front of so many cult and educated people.
It did not take long before I went to attend another show. This time, I took Sam with me and I presented myself in a much formal way. It was about seven PM and everyone was whispering. The stage was as beautiful as before; glittery floor with rouge velvety curtains. The piano was again in the middle; it was impecable. Suddenly, the noises and whispers muted. Everyone automatically faced the stage and crossed their legs elegantly. It was almost robotic,machinelike. Quite interesting, nevertheless spine-chilling.
A distinctive man enterred the stage; very formally dressed indeed but contemporanious in its own original way -I won't describe him, because I want you guys to imagine for yourself an outfit like that-. He turned around and I realized he was the same man I saw last week. With no other action left to do he went and sat down. He raised his hands and rolled up his sleeves to uncover his bony and long fingers; looked quite delicate but masculine at the same time. He began with a set of dramatic chords. As the song evloved, I realized it was a modern -and faster- version of Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable". This song actually brought many memories of those chaotic days during the world war. I would listen to it everyday.
The anonymous stoood up with passiona nd began singing with this soulful feeling. How dramatic and inspiring! I was amazed by such infatuation.
Later on, I took Sam back home and found myself back in the bar. I just stayed there sitting in the dark and nobody was watching. I was the only one sitting whilst the others were at the bar drinking and socializing. I craved to be there; to play the piano and sing with my heart.
"Why don't you try it?" I heard a voice behind me.
I turned around and I was shocked. It was the anonymous performer!

World Unknown's club classics
As one of Time Out's favourite parties celebrates four years, resident Joe Hart picks four songs that make the night
SCS – 'Model Specific'
'In a roundabout way, this tune [made by Andy Blake] gave birth to WU. It brought Andy to my attention, and I asked him to play at the other night I do, Body Hammer. He played some absolute belters, it was fun, and we decided that once wasn't enough, so we set up WU to give ourselves the chance to play all the stuff we rarely get to play. That was four years ago, and we're still going.'
Frankie Goes To Hollywood – 'Welcome to The Pleasuredome (The Fruitness Mix)'
'This record is very, very WU in many different ways. Andy and I are fascinated by old nightclubs such as Starck [in Dallas, Texas], Danceteria [in New York] and Ku [in Ibiza] – all now closed, and with very little documentation surviving in today's content-heavy world. These places have become almost mythical: fantasy nightclubs that you only see in films. WU aspires to be that sort of experience, and this record is all about that decadence and abandon. It also says a lot about the power of the 12" dance mix. You'll hear a lot of extended mixes of '80s pop records at WU.'
Shakti – 'The Awakening'
'This has appeared in WU lists before, but I'd be more worried about leaving it out than including it too much. There aren't many records that sum up what we're about, but this combination of relentless groove and otherworldliness hits the spot. Best played at peak time, it always gets a cheer. I'm not sure if that's because people know it, or if it's just down to the song's voodoo.'
The The – 'Giant'
'The best thing about WU, by a long margin, is the excellent people you'll find on the dancefloor. They've made it into a micro society that's something more than the sum of its parts. This record has been a near-the-end-of-the-nighter since WU began. One of my fondest memories involves the sweat drenched crowd all singing, 'How can anyone know me when I don't even know myself?' I normally find this song sad. Not then, I didn't.'

There's a varied selection of martinis on offer too, as well as beers by the bottle and a short wine list visiting the old world and new. Those looking to soak up the booze with some food can tuck into bar bites with a Lebanese bent. If you're booking a party then you can pre-order canapés and platters for the group.

Loaded and Loathing
Poem by: RaisinGirl
Status: Finished
Genre: Memoir
you gifted me with your grace
a saviour without a solid face
a chance I'd surely devour
by the turning of the hour
how much longer till I break?
how much of this can I take?
a feed on a life derranged
loathing for some change
nothing more than minor matter
a bit more than just bitter batter
dead skin and dead cells
an illusion of rusty bells
loaded up and fathoming
the tolerence it will bring
to my shameful face pierced
by the sun's womb so fierce
my arm just twitched a little
for this makes mefeel brittle
death sentence?...not really
biting the bullet?...maybe
still bringing food to the table
in my mind, a simple label
such preposterous hostility
toward my stale lack of ability
to rein all those monsters in
by those threads I've stitched within
loaded and loathing
before, a feather floating
now my freak is unleashed
and I'm controlling this disease
no joke, no jesting - I declare
I will not break from your stare
the eye of the fire does linger
but I am no longer the finger
upon the trigger, I was before
and to all, I have a gun no more
just a battle with this legend
a bit of fear without an end
a spiral down, and wayward
for a moment I did waiver
but I grasp at blank torches
while I regain all my forces
once flattened upon the ground
I stepped upon my own mound
of ashes that was not really me
so I will just say -let this be....

Add Your Comments:
A powerful piece of work, obviously witten from a heart that hurts. I love the first two lines: You gifted me with your grace / a saviour without a solid face.
I just added the song...yet again, another by Oasis...their music seems to inspire me, or rather, be relatable on many levels lately...anyway it's called "born on a different cloud"....anyone can relate to this one. ;)*meg*
It's got a lot of understated and subtle strength to it. It's very thick and it grabbed my attention from the first word. It just kind of grabs you and you get drowned from all the intermingling emotions. Very well written.
I love every which way you've described my poem..that is so awesome, and thank you so very much, for 'drowning' in it....I knew it would work! heehee ;D...I feel good hearing your comments...I just reached inside my brain and soul, and tore apart my feelings, ripped it up again, and scratched with my nails 'on a chalkboard', figuratively speaking, and created this piece...*meg* ;D
Hi again,
I had just said that I was overwhelmed by the power of your words in this poem and that I think you are sooo talented. I was moved to tears and wish that you didn't have to go through this terrible pain. That through all the pain in your words I also sense the beauty and strength that is within you. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you always keep writing:)
Addiction is a bitch I went through it with alcohol, so in a way I can relate a little with this, It was really well written, I kind of get bored reading really long poems but this one kept me reading, so far I love everything I have read of yours..

Now, you said you had saved 16k total $ to your name and that was tied up in cards bc that is your job....no job, no money coming in from anywhere, and you talked to a guy online for 1 month and decided he was trustworthy enough to blow 11k gift on mystery lots right? Ok, well where did you get the 11k from since all your $ was tied up in cards already? Also, did you advertise how much you had spent in a Haiku thread?
I have been told personally by paypal under no circumstance is a gift payment refunded by paypal, this was a few weeks ago. They told me on the phone a gift payment is refunded if buyer funded the amount from a credit card and can pursue a chargeback or the SELLER manually refunds the buyer. The fee is there for a reason. If they made a special refund for you and it was found out they would be SOL
And for a guy like the OP to come and gush is what I call face washing. It is an attempt to glorify someone, but for what? He did what he was supposed to do, + feedback, and you fulfilled your end...I could see a PM thanking one another, but why announce it, what purpose does it serve...sounds like OP is trying to make you more than you are
Not accusing you of anything, but man there are some strange questions around you.
Some questions I have outside of what I said above are these
You realized on the dec 17th just after midnight you were scammed right?
You posted asking how long the suspension for foul language right? Seems like you were asking this on the behalf of Haiku? Why worry? People get suspended all the time for minor violations
Hour later you told everyone to file claim right after speaking to Haiku and he said he was going out of town right?
Why does Haiku going out of town call for everyone having to file a claim?
A lot of things make no sense, funny you signed up 2 weeks after Haiku did here, what a coincidence.. you have been a member on ebay since 2005...your first sale was in 2007 there....yet you just signed up here, funny OP signed up here in 2007...could you be more than one person here I wonder...? People can put any location in their ID here or ebay so that is not a alibi...hmmm questions that I am sure you will dodge
Plus I find it hard for someone who has not bought a card over 10 bucks on ebay in a month to be making a livin flipping cards. Again you might have more accounts...there are not that many flippable cards to be had here
Razor - sorry man but just noticed looking back you really seem to be slamming me the OP. It's amazing that when someone actually takes time to write something nice about a great board member that they end up getting bashed. I wrote this thread because when i found out that Jason was being accused of all this - i wanted to post a thread that hopefully would get board members to see he is a great guy to do deals with. I was trying to give an outside perspective from someone like me who has done deals with Jason for years - and from someone who has talked to Jason several times on the phone. Just seriously call Jason (broncomannign) if you have any doubts about the guy.
If you can honestly call and talk to him, and you still have your doubts - well then that's your decision to make - but it seems like anyone who has taken the time to talk to him or get to know him more than just trying to believe false rumors that board members have spread about him - these people all know broncomanning is one of the nicest most honest human beings you will ever meet.
Hey i have a good sense of humor too - and yes I KNOW i write alot - always have, always will - i'm just waiting for like 56 more awesome responses about "oh stop w/ the love letters", "stop gushing", blah blah. Look i know i wrote alot in the opening of the thread - as some thing i write too much i think many of you write not enough, and many of you just write crap to accuse innocent people of being criminals when they are not - what those who accused jason of are accusing him IS A BIG DEAL - and i think it is terrible for people to do that when he would never be in on anything like that.
CALL AND TALK TO HIM - if you do that, and still think that Jason is capable of scamming anyone, i will laugh at that!
People are reaching for things to accuse him for now and that is simply wrong.

Page 25
The man reached for the caravan doors as he looked back at Balamor intensely,
"And I own one such dagger!"
Balamor watched the doors as they swung open. His excitement was soon overwhelmed with panic when two hooded men sprung from the back of the caravan. The elusive turned to break for the road when the merchant wrapped his arms around him, lifting his feet from the ground. He struggled as the two men walked towards him.
"Ha! You hobbits are all so gullible! You should have stayed in your hole!" Added the merchant, laughing as he wrestled the hobbit about.
Balamor couldn't believe he fell for such a con, he knew he should have avoided the man altogether. Suddenly he remembered he still had his dagger, its hilt numbed his hand as he struggled. The desperate hobbit thrusted the blade into the torso of his captor. The short man bent over as he let out a sharp yelp, his grip broken by the hobbits daring attempt to break free.
Balamor fell to the ground as the first hooded man attacked. The blade of his broadsword pierced through the air, ready to pin his target to the ground . But the young hobbit was too fast, rolling out of the way and landing behind the merchant who was now limping toward the caravan. The highwayman man dug his blade deep in the earth when Balamor shoved the merchant towards him. The two bodies toppled over one another before they slammed against the caravan spilling the contents of various baskets and small chests. The remaining bandit hurdled over them as he came running in Balamor's direction, his scimitar blade hissed as it departed its sheath.
The frightened map maker's feet pounded against the road in short strides as he fought to gain ground on his hooded predator. Suddenly the Earth beneath his feet shook rapidly before Balamor watched small waves of dirt rush towards him, raising the huge polished stones and dropping them into back into place. Before he could leap to safety the ripple of earth knocked him off his feet, scattering the contents of his bag.
The merchant and the downed highwayman lifted themselves to their feet when they saw their comrade disappear under a thick blanket of dust. The wounded conman carried himself to the caravan and struggled to get into it his seat. He took the reins in his hands, and with a quick snap the wooden caravan darted down the pass towards the stone bridge.
The other bandit chased down the caravan dodging various stolen goods as they spilled out the back, the earth beneath his feet shook heavily once more, slightly knocking the bandit off balance. The young cartographer watched as a pillar of dirt rose from the flat ground, trailing him as he tried to escape. Dirt and stone flung into the air wildly as a large man-like figure ripped through the pillar in mid sprint.

Eva Mendes and Thierry MuglerMonday, June 27, 2011
Eva Mendes recently became the new face of Angel by Thierry Mugler, and I had to share her look when I saw how amazing she looked! Celebrity Makeup Artist Genevieve Herr used Clarins and Thierry Mugler products to create the look.
Prime skin with Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and Multi-Active Day Cream.
'Cooling Effect Compact Foundation' in Color #50.
'Blush & Light Powder' in Brown & White was used to contour.
To prep the lips, she applied 'Flash Lips Foundation' in Nude and blended with 'Rouge Unique Lipstick' in Heaven.
To create the sultry dramatic eye, she lined the whole eye from inner to outer corner on both the upper and lower lash lines in black "Eye Liner Cream". To highlight the lids, she swept on "Eye Shadow & Lights Quartet" in Sublime Nature to contour the eyes with beige and golden hues. Finally, she applied "Flash on Lashes Mascara' in Black to the lashes, but the secret weapon was a final coat of 'Vinyl Gloss' on the lashes to leave them looking wet and glossy.

Mini Satin Bowler Hat
Item # JA26676BKAJ Write Review
Buy NewCA$8.99
Product Description
The first bowler hat was created all the way back in 1849 and was purchased by British royalty by the name of Edward Coke. It was bought for only 12 shillings and has been famous ever since. Up until the 1970s it was uniform for the men of business but since then it has entered many different cultures and reappeared on the heads of a few very famous celebrities here and there including Winston Churchill and Charlie Chapman's very popular film character "The Tramp."
Well now we've got a bit of a fun sized version of the classic look for you. This Mini Satin Bowler hat is about half the size of the regular one with all of the class. It will go with just about any outfit whether that be a flapper dress, Victorian era inspired ensemble, or even a steampunk costume. It may be small in looks but it's pretty big on possibilities.

I feel I have to thank you personally for your help that you have freely given over the past few weeks. The holidays are always a busy time for us, and your support has proved to be invaluable. You have never complained about any tasks asked of you, and you should know that many of us would have been working the night just to stay on top of everything without this help. We have asked a lot from you, and we would like to thank you for all of your hard work. We would hope that you would consider helping us out on a regular basis; I can assure you it is not always like last week. Many thanks once again.

Just a One-Shot I thought I'd try. I know I'm in the middle of Reflecting Light but inspiration caught me.
I just updated Reflecting Light, so have a looksy? :)
This is set at the end of "The Real Paul Anka" - how it should have gone!
Read and Review? Thank you!
She stepped out the door and let the breath she'd been holding out. The wind made her hair whip around her face and neck. The air was warm, but she felt freezing. She looked up to the sky and pressed her back against the door. 'Just one more time one of us is running' she thought. Running her hands down her jacket, she pulled the last button and pushed it through, hoping to warm up her insides. It's always how she feels when she lies or does something wrong. She overlapped her arms, hugging herself and looked down to the parking lot. There sat her car. She knew she should go get in it and drive back to Logan's apartment but she felt like walking.
Before she knew what was happening, her feet were carrying her in a direction – any direction away from the publishing house she'd just had her back pressed against. When she went to cross the first street she was irritated to find it still this busy at night and out of her frustration her vision became blurred and walking more sloppy. She felt drunk so when she got to the other side, she leaned up against the dark brick building. Bringing her hands to her face is when she finally realized what was wrong – she was crying, sobbing actually.
Half bent over she let the tears come, she could practically feel her insides shaking as she let out sob after sob. Sinking down onto her butt she leaned her head back against the cool brick and looked out to the night lights of Philadelphia. If she wasn't so hysterical, she'd probably enjoy the view. The warm tears flowed silently down the sides of her head now, some to her ears, some getting caught in her hair.
Unaware of how much time she sat there, she stood up when the tears stopped and as they dried the wind cooled her face down and her skin tightened. She wiped her cheeks with shaky hands and stood there for a few minutes, letting the feel of the city reach her heart and mind. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before her ears registered the sounds of 'Fools Gold'. She could hear the guitar and drums, and the voice was a little too soft.
Subconsciously she decided to find the source of the music and found herself standing outside another red brick building looking in. A live band could be seen in the back of the place, playing covers of Stone Roses. The next thing she knew she was seated at the bar and the bartender placed a drink in front of her. She picked it up and took a sip – a cosmopolitan. Huh, she didn't remember ordering.
"Drowning your sorrows, miss?" the voice came from over her left shoulder and she closed her eyes and turned away from the band and to her left.
"Hardly. There's not enough alcohol here, and I'm only on my first drink."
"Well, finish up and we'll get you started on the second."
"What can I get you?" The bartender interrupted, throwing a white towel onto his shoulder.
"Beer's fine. Whatever you got on tap."
The bartender nodded his head and walked off.
"What're you doing here, Jess?" Rory asked, looking at him.
"Well I live in this city and come here at least a couple times a month with Chris and Matt. However, you're an out-of-towner, so I should be asking you that."
"Well, see, I came to an open house of a friend of mine's tonight. He's actually an old flame. I don't even know why I came – probably because I'm proud and I really wanted to see his place. But it probably wasn't right of me to come."
"No ulterior motives?"
"Nope. He doesn't know that though."
He paused for a moment and nodded at the bartender as his beer was placed in front of him. He lifted the cold glass up to his lips, only taking in a small sip before setting it back down.
He started quietly, "Why did you lie?"
Rory contemplated her answer for a moment, took a sip of her drink and answered, "I don't know." Then she turned in her chair to watch the band. After a few minutes she heard him speak over her shoulder again,
"They're pretty decent. They always cover stuff you'd like. The stuff they write isn't so bad either."
She turned back, "What's their name?"
"Cheesy," She said, lifting her glass again.
"Yeah, but the music's worth the cheese."
"Sounds like it," she nodded.
He waited and tried to say something a couple times before he found the words and voiced them, "You're really in love with him?"
"Jess… please… just, don't."
"Just answer the question."
She rolled her eyes and finished off her drink before flagging down the bartender and asking for another. Her lips stayed pursed until he came back with her drink. This time she took it from his hand and took a gulp before setting it down.
"He slept with his sister's entire wedding party."
His sarcasm couldn't hold back, "Even the guys? Because if so, I didn't know you were into that."
"Jess, damnit." She spun her chair back towards the band.
He sighed and grabbed her chair, turning it back towards him, more fully this time, so he could see her whole face.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine." She reached with her right arm and grabbed her drink. He watched her take another gulp before he let go of her chair and reached for his beer, taking a swig.
"Why'd you take him back?"
"Logan's… comfortable and steady, very persistent. Yes, he can be an arrogant ass and he's not a fantastic boyfriend, but he's good enough."
"Good enough." He repeated the words, toying with them.
"Well, he's no Jess I mean." She could have spit in his face and that would have been better than the words. She finished off the rest of her glass.
"You know, you aren't exactly on my A-list right now either."
"Oh please."
He took another gulp of his beer and turned away from him.
She sighed and looked up at him, "I'm sorry"
"For what?" he asked with a heavy voice, not even bothering to look at her.
"For what happened back there – I should have just left it alone."
"Because Logan's 'good enough', right?" He scoffed, and shook his head.
She hastily grabbed her purse off the stool next to hers and pulled out some money, throwing it on the counter and half ran out of the bar.
He huffed out some air before reaching in his pocket and doing the same.
"Rory! Wait!" He half yelled, coming out of the bar.
"Oh! Damnit Jess, let me leave!"
He caught up to her and grabbed her wrist, pulling her around to face him. The tears were already streaming down her face and it caught him off guard, he had to think what to say.
She jerked her arm back, "Great, that will make me stay" she laughed humorlessly and rolled her eyes again.
"Rory, what are you waiting for?"
"Excuse me?"
"What the hell are you waiting for? For him to hurt you more than he already has?"
"God Jess! I'm waiting for us to stop running away from each other!" she yelled, her voice breaking at the end.
"You're the one who's running this time."
"I have a boyfriend, Jess."
"Yeah? One who treats you like dirt, doesn't get along with your mom, and doesn't care what you do?"
"Well the first two don't sound to unfamiliar." She spat.
"Great, let's dig up stuff that happened years ago" he said, rolling his head around.
"I'm waiting for the moment when this is going to be right, for when everything comes to a standstill and we are the one's moving in the right direction… with each other." She said quietly, soundless sobs escaping her.
"Look around Rory! The moment's here. Everything's in order and you're running away – God knows why."
"I told you, I have a boyfriend. Obviously this isn't the moment." She said her voice getting higher again.
"The moment is here Rory. So what are you gonna do about it?" He said, exasperated.
She then took his advice and looked around. What happened to all the cars? Couldn't one drive by so she could fling herself in front of it? She listened, and there were no horns honking and the band wasn't playing anymore – no voices could be heard. Couldn't there be someone to get her out of this? She looked around desperately, eyes darting everywhere to find something and the only thing she could find was right in front of here.
"What are you gonna do?" He repeated.
She stared at him for a couple seconds, their eyes meeting and the war turned internal. She could see it all – the love, pain, desperation, honesty, and growth.
Before she could stop it, she flung herself into his arms and both of their eyes closed as their lips met. After he recovered from the initial shock, he put his arms around her and pulled her closer, their lips moving in sync with each other's. Her arms were clasped tightly around his neck and they stayed like that for a few minutes. They just kissed, re-familiarizing each other. He could taste the salty tears that meshed between their mouths that had escaped from her eyes. After the kiss calmed down he broke it off and kissed her three times lightly before pulling away from her.
Her eyes stayed closed a little longer than his and he watched as she opened them. Her eyes clear she looked up at his and asked,
"Was that the right thing to do with the moment?" her voice was quiet and thick.
"Was it?" He questioned her, hope flooding his eyes.
She stared at him and then answered, "Yeah, I'm sure." She smiled a small smile and nodded her head until their lips met again.

" Manufacturer: Victorinox / Type: Multitool "
- The Knife -
Over the years I have owner a large range of swiss army knifes used for travelling, garening and as a general tool around the house. I have owned the tiny little ones which are great for trimming nails and several of the larger versions. In my opinion this model is by far the most useful and doesn't overcomplicate with tools you don't need.
The main blade is a large locking blade about 11cm in length. The lock means that the knife stays in position when you inevitably slip trying to cut something too thick. Although it isn't perfect as a locking blade and there is still a chance of the blade closing, the lock is an essential safety feature which makes using the blade far easier.
Possibly the most used attachment on my knife is the corkscrew. I keep the knife in the kitchen draw so it's ideal when I want wine and can't find my proper corkscrew. There is no lever to pull a cork out of a bottle but a good tug does the job easily.
A can opener is a vital component for travelling, as ring pull type cans are rarely availbale when backpacking. There is a certain knack to using this type of can opener, but I'm confident I could beat a regular tin opener!
The scissors are useful for cutting thread, nails or smaller items. They use a small springy strip of metal to open after making a cut so are not suitable for strong cutting as this metal can bend.
The Nail File and Toothpick are slotted into the plastic sides of the knife. In my case these are incredibly easy to loose and the plastic toothpick is never very appealing to use.
The woodsaw is useful for cutting larger things where the knife cannot be used. It will blunt eventually, but has lasted me and often been usefull for getting through small tree branches.
The one item I don't think I have ever used is the reamer/wire stripper (apart from as a small pokey implement, for which it is perfect). I am sure it is a good reamer, but have yet to find myself in a situation where a good ream is required.
Another addition is the keyring allowing the knife to be secured to your keys or belt. Very useful if like me you find it impossible to keep track of your posessions.
In my opinion, the above included features are more than adequate and they are of a decent size on this knife to make them useable. Other swiss army knifes include magnifying glasses, pens and suchlike. I think these are less useful and make the knife bulkier than necessary. This Outrider is an ideal compromise between functionality and size.
The Outrider is made by Victorinox who are the well known swiss army knife brand (and easily the best). The knife is well made and has aged well. The tools all pull out easily and have shown no deterioration. I'd advise keeping the knife clean and oiling ocassionally to avoid corrosion in the long term.
The knife is made from stainless steel and plastic, making it lightweight and durable.
The Outrider is available on amazon for £26.32 which is very good value for a top quality swiss army knife. I believe I paid more like £30 which I thought was more than reasonable.
A compact, lightweight, high quality swiss army knife. It contains all the essential tools and none of the gimmicky add ons. Well priced and good value.
Remember if getting a swiss army knife for travelling to put it in hold luggage. I've lost a few of the small ones by leaving them in my pocket!
A Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is a combination of solid hand tool and inventive creativity. A characteristic feature of the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is its multi-functionality, which makes it indispensible for many of life's situations. All Victorinox Swiss Army Knives are made from first class stainless steel and are guaranteed against any defects in material and workmanship.
The Outrider Swiss Army Knife has a large locking blade, a corkscrew, a can opener with a small 3 mm screwdriver, a bottle opener with an automatic locking screwdriver and wire stripper, a reamer/punch tool, a keyring, tweezers, a toothpick and a woodsaw.
These locking knives are extremely robust and lightweight, and are specially developed for the police, fire service and army. The lockable screwdriver is particularly sturdy and well-suited to opening containers etc. The corkscrew is also suitable for loosening knots and storing the mini screwdriver.
Size: 111 mm /4.3/8in long.
Colour: red.

Recent political reviews of energy policy have tried to suggest that there are no practical alternatives to the risks of new nuclear reactors – that unless we start on new nuclear construction now, the lights will start to go out by 2015.
The real situation is more complex: although some 25GW of coal and nuclear is due to come offline by around 2030, the generation gap by 2015 identified in some recent policy papers is not supported by evidence, in that it assumes that no new generation capacity of any kind will be built over the next five years.
In fact more non-nuclear generation is already under construction and will come on-line by 2015 than is scheduled to go off-line. A further 1GW of new capacity beyond 2015 is being planned, permitted or constructed. Although this is predominantly gas- fired, the International Energy Agency has made it clear that gas is available in an increasingly global market to deliver reliable and affordable access for the UK.
Also, as National Grid has made clear, domestic demand for natural gas could be reduced significantly, and as anaerobic digestion biogas starts to come on-line, this will leave more gas capacity for the power sector (National Grid concludes that we can supply up to 18 per cent of UK gas demand from waste digestion).
However, in terms of gas supply, the real issue is the lack of storage capacity, making us susceptible to market manipulation and threatened interruptions.
The mid-term picture for nuclear power looks equally problematic. Three major new energy scenarios, from the European Climate Foundation, Price- Waterhouse Coopers (backed by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research), and the European Renewable Energy Council, conclude that the EU could obtain both its electricity and even its total energy, from renewables by 2050 – with no nuclear power, and without significant extra costs. Indeed it could be cheaper long term – after all there would be no fuel costs. Wind power is already the cheapest source on the grid in some US states, and it, and the other renewables, will get cheaper still as technology develops.
There are viable and pragmatic energy futures: where offshore wind, waves, tides, biomass and photovoltaics collectively offer the potential to harness enormous energy resources. Other energy futures include: large-scale networks for energy distribution; radical market innovations from energy supply to energy services, comprehensive energy efficiency, and the restructuring of our built environment to provide for more distributed and integrated energy systems.
The fact is, we are approaching an energy future of rich and bewildering choice, where a variety of radically different options present technically and economically viable alternatives – a future where the nuclear option is the dearest and riskiest of gambles.

Michael McCarthy says Nuclear Power produces "virtually no CO2" ("Climate change back on election agenda", 27 April ).
Studies estimate complete lifecycle CO2 emissions at between 66 and 130 grams of CO2 per kilowatt hour generated. Compare this with natural gas at 443, coal 755-1050 and wind at 10-37.
These figures also assume a nuclear power plant operating for 40 years at 85 per cent capacity. No nuclear reactor in the world has ever operated past 35 years and none has come near to an average 85 per cent capacity factor. In some cases this figure has been more like 6 per cent.
As countries around the world pin their hopes on nuclear power, uranium abundance falls, decreasing its quality and increasing nuclear power's CO2 emissions. In a few decades' time nuclear power will be producing the same amount of CO2 as a gas-fired power station does today.

Welcome back to the Stupid Party
The extent to which David Cameron has successfully "decontaminated the Tory brand" and removed the label of the "nasty party" is debatable. However, the party's "populist" (superficially attractive but ill thought-through) policies in so many areas such as elected police commissioners, political alignment in the EU and most dangerously a pre-Keynesian 1930s classical approach to macro economics, ensure it has re-earned the more historic label of "the stupid party".
In the pre-ideology days before Thatcherism it was a label worn proudly by Conservatives. In 2010 it is not one that the country can afford in government. As John Stuart Mill said so long ago: "Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."
John Davies
Colchester, essex
With less than a week to go, it seems that the British electorate has allowed itself to be seduced into believing that the Conservative Party under David Cameron's convivial leadership is ripe for government.
The Conservative Party of 2010 exists for the same purpose as it has always existed: to promote the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of those without wealth and power. Every single positive measure that has been of any real benefit to the majority of working people in Britain for the past 100 or more years has been opposed by the Tories.
From the Factory Acts of the 19th century to prevent child labour, through to the introduction of the welfare state, the introduction of equal pay for men and women and right up to the recent introduction of a minimum wage, all of these positive measures have been opposed by the Tories. That such a large section of the electorate has come to believe that the Tories have anyone's interests at heart other than their own and those of their wealthy benefactors is utterly depressing.
There is much to criticise about Labour's record in office and the Lib Dems are a bit of a quaint diversion and an unknown quantity, but electoral success for either of them is far favourable to waking up to a Tory victory on Friday morning. This country deserves better than a government formed by aristocrats for the benefit of aristocrats.
Neil Baird
There is a question that has not yet been put to David Cameron. If the Conservatives increase their number of MPs but still have insufficient to form a government, and should there be MPs from UKIP or the BNP, would the Conservatives look to them for support to form a government?
In the light of the Conservatives' record in Europe, this is a question that needs an answer.
Celia Savage
Cranleigh, Surrey
I know big business want the Conservatives in power, but where do we go without big business? They pay for the country anyway. Give big business what they need, for goodness sake and let's get the country going and out of the depression. At this juncture we don't have the luxury of any other choice.

Cameron, the new de Gaulle
Bruce Anderson favourably compares his inamorato to a famous tall Frenchman ("Cameron could be our de Gaulle", 3 May).
He must realise that de Gaulle's fundamental achievement was to re-establish his country's independence from foreign control: he ordered the closing of all US military bases in France and left Nato. Everything else he achieved stemmed from those two courageous and perceptive actions. He was also I believe, a fan of what is now the EU.
I don't see Cameron in that mould, nor do I believe that the love affair would survive if he were.
Eddie Dougall
Walsham le Willows, Suffolk
Bruce Anderson describes David Cameron as having "spent the last 20 years using his considerable intellect to clarify issues and solve problems". He is in fact that depressing modern phenomenon, a career political apparatchik, whose record includes being adviser to Norman Lamont at the time of the ERM debacle, and his only experience outside Westminster was as a PR consultant.
Alex Black
Bruce Anderson writes that Cameron "springs from the hard-working, public-serving upper-middle class, not from some secretive hereditary caste cut off from the rest of society". His next sentence: "His background is also admirably balanced between country and city. He is equally at home in London and in the depth of the countryside."
This must be to remind us that he has homes in both. Indeed, famously, he does not always know how many properties he owns. Once we remember that, we can take the rest of Anderson's eulogy for the joke it is.

Body language we cannot read
I take issue with the pseudo-expert opinion on body language being trotted out about the various party leaders by the television news channels in the aftermath of "Bigotgate"
People who are visually impaired quite often do not reflect sincerity or glee in their eyes when they smile (for obvious reasons). To criticise Gordon Brown on that account is as ridiculous as accusing Stevie Wonder of making poor eye contact. If we cannot be tolerant and understanding about these issues, what hope is there for people who are different or disabled in all sorts of ways?
Close-up shots of Sarah Brown looking a bit distracted cannot be interpreted as anguish about her husband's situation. She could have been wondering if she had locked the back door before leaving on her hectic pre-election rounds. If we could infer thought from visual expression there would be no successful suicide bombings and many people would be dismissed from their jobs.
More generally, there seems to be a confusion of presentation with personality and a hypocrisy on all our parts about the dreadful things we may say about people (that we wouldn't want them to hear or be hurt by) but which are part of how we manage the way we portray ourselves in different situations. Ironically, greater success in presentation implies greater skill in pretending, and may actually reflect a higher lack of honesty.

The support teachers need
While all must be glad that Peter Harvey's desperate action did not result in tragedy ("Union issues mental health alert after teacher's attack", 1 May), there cannot be a teacher in any type of school who hasn't struggled with a difficult class.
The most difficult, in my experience, tend to be large classes of pupils of average ability who find academic subjects a challenge but who are quite bright enough to cause concerted disruption.
By contrast, classes of pupils with real difficulties are small and, crucially, one or more pupils will be statemented and therefore allocated a learning support assistant. She can help her pupil and maybe others with the lesson, thereby keeping concentration going and preventing incipient disruption. Having another adult in the room is invaluable also if a pupil makes an allegation of misconduct on the part of the teacher, as she will have witnessed any alleged incident.
Teachers should be able to ask for this support in any class they know is becoming a problem. I think that everyone who wishes to become a teacher should spend a year as a learning support assistant or classroom assistant before starting their training, thereby providing the system with the (wo)man-power and ensuring that aspiring teachers get a true picture of what the profession entails.

From dole queue to fruit orchard
Mr Cameron has promised to take benefits from individuals on the dole who refuse to take up a job offer for work they can perform. He also promises a cap on immigrant workers, many of whom do seasonal agricultural work. Is it possible that Mr Cameron is going to put those on the dole to work in the orchards and fields?
This would be an interesting social experiment, as the farmers are used to employing foreign workers happy to work for low pay in harsh conditions. They will be replaced with workers unused to work under any conditions. Expect increases in price for your UK-grown fruit and vegetables this year.

Philip Hensher (3 May) writes: "Why can't James Bond's Miss Moneypenny be black?" I would go one step further and ask why James Bond can't be black. As I type this, I am imagining Adrian Lester in the role; the kind of suave performance he puts in for Hustle would suit Bond perfectly.

Get out and vote
I hope Gillian Duffy will reconsider her decision not to vote on Thursday. First, she might heap coals of fire on Gordon Brown's head. Second, she'd show she was aware that it's those who don't vote who will be most to blame for whatever ensues.

Perspectives on markets
Tax the casino capitalists
Both David Cameron and Gordon Brown have nailed their political colours to the mast. They agree that any person who is currently getting public money, and who refuses to contribute to the economy, should lose access to public funds. I like the policy, but it is targeted at the wrong people.
Casino capitalists contribute nothing of value to our economy. Speculators trade shares worth more than the global economy every single day. There is an army of investment brokers doing no productive work whatsoever and we are now supporting them through a massive public subsidy. Let's target them instead of cutting public (or private) sector jobs. Not only will this be much more fun, it makes more economic sense and will rapidly reduce government debts.
Make the investment banking industry an offer it would be unwise to refuse: invest in manufacturing capacity or pay off global debts.
Employees who participate in a share incentive plan normally have to wait three years before they can receive benefits from their shareholding without paying any tax. There is also a cap of £3,000 per year on this benefit. Let's level the playing field and apply this to investment banking. If a broker suggests a speculative investment (including currency speculation) in excess of £3,000 value, and the purchase is held for less than three years, the broker (like the employee) must pay a 20 per cent tax on the value of the transaction.
Targeting brokers, like targeting drug dealers, makes sense. Better to punish the supplier than the addict.

Charlatan 'industry' destroys savings
The Goldman Sachs hearings raise a question that throughout the financial upheavals of recent years I have been seeking an answer to.
I understand how a bank can make a profit by charging interest on a loan. The person taking out the loan has to work to make money to pay the bank.
However, when the bank is using an "instrument" of some gambling kind, the deal appears to involve betting that something will go up or down in value. The bank gains if it has bet in the right direction. As any gamble involves a winner and a loser, if the bank bets right, someone must have to pay up. The gain for the bank is solely at the expense of some other shareholding body. A billion dollar profit for a bank in this area must be shown up elsewhere as a loss of a billion dollars. How does this gambling process "make" any money? If it doesn't, why do we allow this charlatan "industry" to exist at all?
They cream off vast sums from pension-fund holdings (where I assume most of their "profits" come from) and claim ludicrous bonuses, and then tell us that they will go elsewhere if we don't let them get paid this much to destroy the value of our savings.

Tait to Dilshan, FOUR, immediately troubles Dilshan with extra pace and bounce, he went for his favourite slap-punch through the off side, got an outside edge that flew wide of second slip, and beat third man as well
Lee to Sangakkara, FOUR, Sanga comes right forward to meet this one coming in from a length outside off, shows the full face of the bat, and holds the pose as the ball races past mid on
Watson to Sangakkara, FOUR, shot! Sanga has had enough of being pegged on the back foot, comes forward and stylishly slams this full delivery in the tiniest of gaps past cover
Lee to Jayawardene, FOUR, they had removed the second slip some time ago, the edge from Mahela flies at catchable height in that direction, it was angled in from a length, and Mahela went prodding at it, getting a thick edge
Watson to Sangakkara, FOUR, Watsone gets the outside edge, but it flies through a vacant slip cordon and wide of third man to the boundary, it was a length ball going across Sanga and he went for the drive off the front foot
Watson to Jayawardene, FOUR, flicked away fine, it was one leg stump, Mahela went across and turned it with those lovely wrists, no chance for fine leg
Johnson to Sangakkara, FOUR, lovely push-drive from Sanga, how good is that for timing, it was a length delivery some way outside off, Sanga brought the bat down nice and straight, bisected the gap between mid off and mid on, both of whom gave up the chase early
Tait to Jayawardene, FOUR, Mahela's brand of non-violence brings him a boundary, got forward to this length delivery and eased it in the gap between extra cover ad mid off, from where Lee went chasing it desperately all the way to the ropes, he even put in a dive in the end but it eluded him
Krejza to Sangakkara, FOUR, shot! A boundary after a while. Sangakkara got down on one knee, waited for the flighted ball to pitch around off, and swatted it with power into the gap at deep midwicket
Krejza to Samaraweera, FOUR, dangerous shot with a slip in place. Samaraweera backs away to make room and cuts an offbreak past the fielder at first slip
Tait to Samaraweera, FOUR, this time he strays on to Samaraweera's pads and the batsman closes the face so late to nudge the ball past Haddin towards the boundary
Smith to Sangakkara, FOUR, gift, full toss around off stump, Sanga happily whacks it wide of deep midwicket
Krejza to Sangakkara, FOUR, Sanga gets one full down the leg side, and sweeps it very fine, too fine for fine leg

You don't know.
It's those blue eyes, locked on her wink
queasy stomach hurls out poison
It's forgetting the way you blink
When you lie.
It's cutting into my skull
a rusty saw, and the scraping sound
Is a distraction, but dull
From your faces.
Hating every line, scratching every crease
flooding out each eyeball
making sounds I didn't know I could
that I can't even hear as they crawl.
It took a few months for you
To cut me up in two
When one part is hating and hurting
and one part is missing and hurting
You are not the same

Kodaka's life hasn't been easy since joining the Neighbors Club. Getting dragged into a conversation by another strange nun was the last thing he needed. Then again, her advice seemed sound, until he discovered she was seriously twisted. Now her close ties to another member of the club will make it even harder for Kodaka to escape her. At this point, however, Kodaka is used to not being in control of his destiny. Whether it's studying with Sena (and discovering an unnatural obsession!), or having Maria invade his home to fight with Kobato, Kodaka's learned to go with the flow. Of course, this may not be the best approach to life, especially when it seems like other people are calling the shots for him!
