The acclaimed author of A Prayer for the Dying brings all his narrative gifts to bear on this gripping account of tragedy and heroism—the great Hartford circus fire of 1944.
It was a midsummer afternoon, halfway through a Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus performance, when the big top caught fire. The tent had been waterproofed with a mixture of paraffin and gasoline; in seconds it was burning out of control. More than 8,000 people were trapped inside, and the ensuing disaster would eventually take 167 lives.
Steward O'Nan brings all his narrative gifts to bear on this gripping account of the great Hartford circus fire of 1944. Drawing on interviews with hundreds of survivors, O'Nan skillfully re-creates the horrific events and illuminates the psychological oddities of human behavior under stress: the mad scramble for the exits; the perilous effort to maneuver animals out of danger; the hero who tossed dozens of children to safety before being trampled to death. Brilliantly constructed and exceptionally moving, The Circus Fire is history at its most compelling.

On July 6, 1944, around 10,000 people went to watch "The Greatest Show on Earth" performed by the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. Some of the people in Hartford, Connecticut had been waiting all year for the circus to come to town, but when it finally did, they were in for a very different show than normal. About halfway through the Wallendas act, a high wire act performed by three people, people began smelling smoke. Almost without warning, the entire big top was up in flames due to the fact that it had been waterproofed with gasoline and paraffin. 167 people went to the circus that day and never returned home. Everything about this book entertained me. The thrill of picturing each act as it would have been performed, being able to almost smell the smoke of the fire as it began to grow, and feeling the fear of what it would have been like to be running for your life as the fire envelops the entire big top. Stewart O'Nan does a wonderful job of putting as many facts together as possible to recreate the horrific day and to put the reader right into the story. Because O'Nan was not present the day of the fire, the book is put together through the community and through interviews with many of the people who were in attendance that day. Although the facts from people who experienced the horrific day are part of what makes the book so great, they are also what makes it not as great. Some facts are repeated multiple times throughout the book and make it drag on I parts. Some of the facts are very important to the story and trying to find the cause of the fire and should be repeated, but others are of lesser importance and slow the pace of the book. Even with those slow parts, the book is an excellent read and provides a lot of information about the day of the fire. I would definitely recommend this book, especially to people who have fallen in love with the circus. This is one of the largest tragedies that has ever occurred in the circus world, and it is very well represented through O'Nan's writing. I woulod also recommend it to people who love history but are looking for that thrill as well.
On July 6, 1944, nine thousand people, mostly women and children, attended the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus in Hartford, Connecticut. It was the matinee show and started at around 2:00 p.m. Moments later, the circus tent caught fire and in minutes was completely consumed. Pandemonium reigned as petrified patrons fought and clawed to escape the inferno. One hundred and sixty-seven people died that day. Stewart O'Nan has painstakingly recreated this horrific event. He covers the individual stories of various victims and survivors. The history of the circus is covered, along with the war factory environment of Hartford in 1944. Possible causes of the fire are considered. Was it an act of arson? Or was the fact that the tent was waterproofed with a mixture of gasoline and paraffin the main culprit? The survivors are followed through their months of hospitalization and the various legal issues and court cases are covered. The lives of various circus performers are told, as well as the stories of the men who investigated the fire and its causes for years. The later lives of those involved are covered, especially the struggle to identify one little girl that stretched for decades. Although a horrific event, the painstaking research O'Nan has performed makes this a fascinating subject. The changes that took place due to the fire and the general change in the country as it moved to new entertainment venues such as television made the circus under the big tent a thing of the past. O'Nan takes the reader inside the tent and shows them a world that no longer exists. This book is recommended for readers of nonfiction and circus fans, as well as those who enjoy tales of heroism.
It's amazing that so many people went to the circus to forget their troubles, and instead ended up at best traumatized and at the worst dead. I'll definitely never look at a circus the same again, or for that matter any event that happens under a tent. Worth a read, definitely, but very graphic in parts so not for the faint of heart.
I listened to the unabridged audio version, which was compelling indeed--especially, but not exclusively, if the listener is or was a 'local' to the Hartford area. I think the audio might have made it more dramatic than reading it; on the other hand, the book has some photos that you miss with the audio. One thing about the audio that I seem to recall was a few place names mispronounced, which was a little annoying--it doesn't seem to me an unreasonable expectation for the reader (who was not the author) to have checked on the proper pronunciation. But it was a minor annoyance & nonlocals wouldn't even notice. Some of the background stuff at the beginning about other circus fires tested my patience a little as I wanted him to 'get to the Hartford stuff,' but once he got into the Hartford stuff, the reason for all that background stuff became clear & was helpful. I thought the amount of research he did to bring all this together was impressive. I thought he did a very good job of writing about a very complex subject and making it 'followable.' To say it lacked some dramatic emotionality is like saying that the events of 9/11 needed reporters to add drama to the events to make the response emotional--the events are sufficient unto themselves & don't need anything added. It is very true that some of the description can be gruesome, but I would say anyone who can handle what's on TV these days can probably handle it. One way it haunted me, besides thinking about certain locations as I drive around Hartford, is that I'm now a little more uncomfortable when in a crowded place--I'm constantly conscious of when a place must be beyond its fire code occupancy level & how would all those people get out, & I pay attention to where the exits are & stay near one of them--which is much like the PTSD some of the victims experienced, & I got it (to a smaller degree of course) just from hearing about it! So I'd say it was dramatic enough!
I had only the most superficial knowledge of this tragedy, including the 'unidentified little girl' known in O'Nan's book as 'Little Miss 1565.' 'The Circus Fire' answers some questions and raises others about not only how and why this tragedy took place but how humans collectively behaved in the face of adversity. The passages detailing the children going through skin grafts are by far the most heartbreaking. As effective and compelling as the story is told, the style is repetorial in a non ground breaking way; this is no Truman Capote/'In Cold Blood.' As an account of the tragedy this is definitive; as an account of a fire disaster it cannot surpass 'To Sleep With The Angels' by David Cowan and John Kuenster, detailing the December 1, 1958 fire at Our Lady of Angels School in Chicago. Images in that haunt me to this day. O'Nan's account is fascinating, if a bit clinical. An effective investigation of a tragey lacking the emotional resonance it ought to put its subject over.
This book was amazing. While gruesome in parts it was necessary to really show the reader and do justice to the horrific events. The desription really puts you there. You can almost smell the smoke and hear the screams. This was a tragedy thaf should never be forgotten...and thanks to this authors brilliant writing no one who reads this book will.
This book covers in detail the terrible tragedy of that day. Highly reccomended for the circus or history buff.
During the dog days of summer in a small city in Connecticut during 1944, the Big Top came to town, promising a diversion from the depressing news of World War II and the oppressing heat. A tent was pitched in an open field, the animals and concessions set up, and tickets were sold. During one afternoon's performance a fire was started (you'll have to read how), and the tent went up almost instantaneously, trapping hundreds of people inside and starting an hysterical stampede towards the few available exits. This is an account that is meticulously researched and grippingly told. It will continue to haunt your thoughts long after you've finished the book. Beware that this book is not for the faint of heart; the descriptions of burned survivors and charred bodies seem awfully vivid. Otherwise, a memorable cautionary tale.
This story brought the tragedy to life and made the fire even more heartbreaking. The in depth interviews and accounts of the disaster are extremly vivid and interesting. Great read!
In the preface to the book, the Author writes that he wrote a non-fiction account of the Circus Fire because even the most well written fictionalized account could not tolerate the lapses, coincidences and gaps that occur in real life. Truth really is stranger than fiction!!! First and foremost this story is a gripping human saga that will leave you talking about the story and thinking about the book for weeks. I would love to see a follow up book detailing what happened throughout the later lives of the survivors and the families of victims. Read this book!
Effectively describes the horrors of the fire, its causes, repercussions. O'Nan debunks myths about the disaster, and has his own take on the identity of Little Miss 156
my first nook book and enjoying it thus far

The board of Yahoo conferred by phone last night over Microsoft's controversial $44.6bn (£22.4bn) bid for the company amid speculation that the software group will increase its offer if the search engine's chief executive, Jerry Yang, and the rest of senior management reject the initial approach. Yahoo's directors will hold a face-to-face meeting next Wednesday.
This week, shares in Yahoo rose above the level at which Microsoft pitched its cash-and-shares bid, for the first time since the company announced its approach on January 31.
Although the top-line value of the deal was $31 when announced, it is split into equal portions of stock and cash. Microsoft's share price has dropped over the past week, reducing the value of the stock portion. Some on Wall Street believe Microsoft may have to make an offer as high as $37 to seal a deal.
Yang told employees in an email this week that the board of Yahoo "is thoughtfully evaluating a wide range of potential strategic alternatives in what is a complex and evolving landscape". Google is believed to have approached Yahoo about a possible tie-up to fend off Microsoft.
Separately, the parent company of British internet service provider Tiscali said yesterday it had not received a bid approach, putting an end to recent speculation that pushed up the company's share price to more than 40% on the Italian bourse over the past two days.
Several firms, including Vodafone and domestic rival FastWeb, had been suggested as possible buyers of Tiscali but the company's board said last night "it has not received any acquisition proposal".

I am so terribly sorry to all of my readers for how long it took me to update this! Thank you so much to all the people that favourite, reviewed or alerted this story. It's thanks to you guys that I kept writing it. I re-discovered this in the depths of my computer files and though it was time for an update. Hope you enjoy!
McGee trotted after Leigh as quickly as he could. He was reluctant to talk to her, especially in the state he was in, but what was he going to do when Gibbs was sitting behind him, watching? And besides, part of him did want to talk to Leigh, just to see her. He missed her, and he wanted to know if they were ok.
He caught up to her as they made it to the porch and smiled as he tapped her on the shoulder.
Liz turned and just stood there for a moment. "So you know?" she asked gently, gesturing at his tear streaked face.
McGee laughed lightly. "Yeah, Tony told me. Listen, Leigh-"
He didn't have a chance to finish his sentence, because Leigh leapt at him in a jumping hug, wrapping her limbs around him and knocking him backwards. They both fell back onto the grass, and Leigh sat triumphantly on McGee's stomach.
Letting out an 'oof' as all of his air left his body, McGee stared up at the woman on his stomach and couldn't help but grin as he saw her scowl. Leigh would never change, and she had never been any good at scowling.
The little woman began punching his arm. "How many years, Timmy? You turned into a real cop, and you didn't call me? I haven't heard from you since college!"
McGee was laughing too much to push her off him. "A real cop?"
Leigh crawled off Mcgee onto the grass and sat up, folding her arms beneath her breasts. "Yes, a real cop."
Sitting up as well, McGee couldn't keep the grin off his face. "I'm a special agent, I'll have you know."
Leigh gave him a look, flicking her hair out of the way. "Very special, I'm sure."
McGee rolled his eyes. "I see how you and Tony got along. What about you? Are you still doing music?"
Nodding emphatically, Leigh grinned. "Yep, I was playing professionally for a while, but I dropped out to look after the kids."
McGee's mouth dropped open and his eyes widened. "Kids plural? I know about Jasper, but you've had more?"
Leigh laughed, a light, tinkling noise that was completely infectious. "Yes, Timmy! Three of them. I had twins just after college, Rico and Imogen, and I just adopted a baby, Jarred."
McGee just couldn't stop gaping. "Three? Adopted? Whoah…"
Laughing again, Leigh got to her feet and stuck out a hand to help McGee up. "Yes adopted, and yes three. Jarred was abandoned by a young teen mum, so we took him in."
Getting to his feet with the minimal help that Leigh's arms offered, McGee brushed himself off. "Well, we always said it was going to be you guys that would adopt." he said easily.
Immediately, the atmosphere got tense. The slightest mention of the old group had them both looking for a way out.
"Look Leigh, I'm going to try and stay away from this one, ok? I'll just do more harm than g-"
For the second time that day, McGee was cut off by Leigh. She held up a finger. "Don't you dare!"
McGee looked taken aback. "Wha-But-"
Stormclouds seemed to have gathered in Leigh's face, and her eyes were thunderheads. "Don't you dare even think about blaming yourself for this, and don't you dare, drop out." She punctuated each phrase with a stab to his chest with her finger, her voice cracking like lightning. "You didn't protect her once, your bloody well going to do it this time. You are going to find who did this to her, Timmy, and you're going to make them pay. Say it!" She stepped forward quickly, forcing McGee to take a step backwards.
McGee's face slowly lost its hopeless look as Leigh's words sunk in. She was right. He was going to do it right this time. "I'm going to find him, Leigh. I'm going to find him."
Immediately, Leigh's stormclouds cleared, and she barrelled into him for another hug. "Good."
McGee wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on her head as he thought.
"It's good to see you again Timmy." she murmured into his shoulder.
McGee smiled. "You too, Leigh."
Breaking off the hug, Leigh gave him a bright smile and turned to go into the house.
Gibbs watched as McGee watched Leigh walk into the house. His eyes narrowed to catch the tightening of his jaw, something Gibbs recognised as McGee's resolve strengthening and his stubborn streak settling in. Smiling slightly, Gibbs stood and waited. McGee would come and talk to him, he knew it.
Mere moments later, McGee spun on his heel and marched over to Gibbs.
"Well?" Gibbs asked.
McGee's eyes flashed as he spoke. "I'm going to find who did this to her, Boss. I'm going to find them and I'm going to make them pay."
Gibbs nodded towards the Tony and Ziva. "Go."
Nodding quickly, McGee turned and walked over to the pair.
Gibbs felt a small smile turn his lips as he watched. McGee was strong and confident. It was a good sight to see, and a rare one. He meant to change that fact.

Hello from Our New VP of Partnerships and Distribution Strategy
It's been a month since I joined OpenSesame, and it's time to say a few words about what brought me here. I'm an outsider to the elearning space, but this is not the first time I've switched industries. Be it UCaaS with RingCentral or Identity and Access Management with Centrify, what excites me are big problems in big markets that can be solved by technology and an innovative business model. I believe that enterprise elearning (particularly the content side) is one such market.
The last few years have seen massive innovation in the edtech space. Organizations like Khan Academy, MOOCs (Coursera, Udacity, EdX) and platforms like Canvas are revolutionizing our primary and secondary education systems.
We have also seen sea change on the platform side of enterprise learning. Innovative companies such as SuccessFactors / SAP, Taleo / Oracle, Saba, SilkRoad are enabling companies to deeply integrate employee learning and skill development with other aspects of Human Resource Management (and generating billions of dollars of value in the process).
Yet, all of these innovations have not spurred changes on the content side of the equation. Since the creation of training courses often requires subject matter expertise, most content developers focus on only one or two topics. As a result, there are hundreds of companies creating enterprise elearning courses and many thousands delivering classroom-based training.
This makes the task of compiling a comprehensive employee training program for a large, multi-faceted company incredibly difficult. This is the problem OpenSesame is solving. Following in the footsteps of such platforms as iTunes, eBay, Amazon, and Alibaba, we are putting marketplace dynamics to work for the benefit of our customers. We created the first and the only open marketplace where course developers can list their courses, and our enterprise customers can purchase courses that load directly into their Learning Management Systems (LMS) with just a few clicks.
So what exactly are these marketplace dynamics that make OpenSesame so unique?
Breadth of Content
OpenSesame offers more than 22,000 courses from outstanding content developers including Atomic Training, Cegos, VuBiz, Enspark, Webucator, Vado, CompuWorks, Syntrio, Maestro, Sonic, Vivid and other—more than 430 providers in total. This is by far the single largest library of enterprise learning content in the world!
Content Quality
Marketplaces are subject to market forces. Since the library is very large, a search on virtually any topic yields multiple results. Much in the same way as there's little demand for restaurants with a two-star rating on Yelp or products with a two-star rating on Amazon, there's little demand for courses with a two-star rating on OpenSesame. This creates a powerful incentive for course developers to constantly improve the quality and freshness of their content. Additionally, our curation team works tirelessly to make sure low-quality courses never make it onto OpenSesame in the first place.
Customer Delight
There are many benefits stemming from OpenSesame's obsession with customer satisfaction, instilled in the company's culture by the founders Don Spear, Josh Blank, Tom Turnbull and Aaron Bridges.
- Excellent technical execution: Like Steve Jobs used to say, "It just works". The demo / try / purchase process is frictionless. OpenSesame works closely with content providers to ensure all of our content is SCORM standard-compliant and works in all Learning Management Systems.
- Flexible business model: From the desire to satisfy our customers comes the single most flexible business model around. In an industry where most business is done through large up front purchases, where only a small fraction of courses are used and contracts lock customers up for many years, OpenSesame is committed to offering our customers exactly as much content as they need with the business terms they require. We offer our customers everything from a single course license or a Pay-Per-Use arrangement to an unlimited use subscription and custom course bundles. It's whatever the customer wants, however they want it.

IN A DISTURBING potential indication of things to come, the Murdoch press today carries a story about a Muslim housing estate being marketed in Riverstone, in Sydney's north-west. This is not the Australian way, and such religion-based enterprises have no place in this country.
I have opined previously about the unacceptability of the creeping introduction of Islamic culture in Australia and its inappropriate nature viewed against some manifestations of its impact on mainstream Australian society.
And readers will recall, too, that this column is resolutely opposed to the introduction of Sharia law in Australia on any scale and in any way, shape or form.
With this in mind, I angrily read a piece in today's edition of Sydney's Daily Telegraph, which details a commercial plan that can only be designed to establish a dedicated Muslim-only enclave.
The company responsible for the development, Qartaba Homes, claims to be offering "the real estate deal of a lifetime," offering interest-free mortgages that are open to people of all faiths and religious backgrounds; the fact religion is even mentioned in the selling features of marketing propaganda is cause for at least one raised eyebrow.
The ruse is exposed, however, in its claim that such loans are "100% halal" and a "chance to escape Riba (interest)" because interest is a sin under Islamic law.
And an advertisement or flyer for the scheme apparently promises "100 per cent Halal housing to the growing Muslim community of Australia."
I haven't seen this flyer, but if anyone has access to a copy and wishes to scan it and post it as a link to a PDF in the comments section, I'm happy to approve its posting.
That said, however, the company's claims that it can't operate in a Muslim-only fashion — backed by quoted comment from a spokesman from the NSW minister for Fair Trading that there are no grounds to take action for discrimination over the Qartaba flyer — are no doubt technically correct, but disingenuous.
Certainly, it's plausible that the scheme is being marketed in such a way as to avoid breaching any laws with its collateral; any business operator — Muslim or otherwise — need only take routine due diligence in their activities to ensure that.
But the reality, as anyone with any brains at all would clearly recognise, is very different.
Why would anyone from a non-Muslim background be remotely interested in living in what is clearly and obviously intended to be a religiously based, Sharia-observant, all Muslim community?
The idea of interest free mortgage loans might be appealing, but the fact it's actually being specified that the proffered mortgages do not attract interest because "interest is a sin under Islamic law" in no way constitutes an acceptable business case in Australia.
This is the type of thing, clearly, that is exercising the minds of business leaders in the Muslim community now the fallout from the disgraceful Sydney riot in September seems to have settled.
And there is no place for it in this country.
Australia has always been a welcoming country to people from different backgrounds — and faiths — and has the benefit on the flipside of that of being able to boast one of the richest and most vibrant and diverse social fabrics in the world.
After all, Australia is — at its roots — an immigrant society.
What it isn't, however, is an ordered system of engineered ethnic enclaves.
It is true that places like Springvale in Melbourne, Cabramatta in Sydney, and Darra in Brisbane have earned a reputation over the years as being "enclaves" for various immigrant communities at various times; indeed, I remember as a teenager that Darra, for example, was the epicentre of Brisbane's Vietnamese community.
The difference — and it is significant — is that these suburbs, and others like them, were gateways; typically, they were places migrants first settled as they found their feet in a new country before moving on and out into the wider Australian community, where so many great things have been shared with those of us who were already here.
The proposed development at Riverstone, by contrast, appears to be a deliberate attempt to establish a bedrock Islamist community as a virtual island, on which Sharia law is the operative basis of society, and on which Muslims enjoy primacy.
The second difference, of course, is that it's based on religion, and even in a free and tolerant country like ours is, anything that resembles religiously based segregation needs to be knocked on the head forthwith.
And all of this raises a bigger question: if Muslims are committed to becoming a part of mainstream society, why do they need to be establishing what virtually amounts to a walled community?
We have discussed, previously, things like fast food outlets only selling halal food to avoid offending Muslims — with the attendant disregard for the other 98% of the population that such practices imply — and gender-segregated sports facilities that "respect" Muslim patrons (in total disrespect of everyone else).
And Sharia law has no place — and I want to be emphatic about this — no place whatsoever in Australian society.
If Muslims wish to develop walled communities — irrespective of the attention paid to the finer details of the literature that accompanies them to ensure they do not breach anti-discrimination laws — and live in them under Sharia law, my strong recommendation would be for them to get out of Australia and go and live somewhere else, where such lifestyles are common and accepted practice.
The take-up of land under the scheme by Muslims may, indeed, be "not that overwhelming," as the Tele article quotes Qartaba director Khurram Jawaid as claiming. But then again, given the subdivision application for the estate hasn't even yet been lodged with the Blacktown City Council, that's hardly a surprise.
I think the Liberal MP for the NSW state seat of Hawkesbury, Ray Williams, hits the nail on the head perfectly when he says that "(he) can only imagine the repercussions if a developer were to advertise a new Judeo-Christian housing estate; they would be hung, drawn and quartered."
And Williams is also right when he points out that marketing a 100% halal Muslim community is hardly inclusive.
Clearly, Muslim members of the Australian community would (rightly) be outraged if a Christian development such as this were to be offered for sale in a manner that very obviously, if implicitly, excluded them — or at the very least made it clear that the offering was being made in such a way that they really weren't welcome to participate.
And that being the case, why do those responsible for this particular Muslim-based project believe that precisely the same thing, in reverse, is appropriate to do themselves?

2G: Airtel, Videocon to bid for spectrum
It is being intensely speculated that Videocon may join hands with Mukesh Ambani-led RIL after the auction.
New Delhi: Airtel, Vodafone, Videocon and Tata Teleservices are among the telecom biggies who applied on Friday to bid in the upcoming spectrum auction, but Reliance Industries and Russia's Sistema surprised by staying away. Billionaire Mukesh Ambani-run RIL, sitting on a cash-pile of Rs 79,159 crore, was widely anticipated to bid in the November auction of airwaves to complement its wireless broadband services with voice call facility. But RIL, like Anil Ambani-controlled Reliance Communications, has not submitted application to participate in the bidding, according to sources. The deadline for submission of applications ended on Friday evening.
Videocon Industries, which had in 2008 got pan-India 2G or second-generation spectrum for Rs 1,658 crore, has submitted applications to bid for both GSM and CDMA technologies. It is being intensely speculated that Videocon may join hands with RIL after the auction with firm's Chairman Venugopal Dhoot confirming his group's "friendship" with the Mukesh Ambani-run firm and not ruling out any future possibility. "We have been having very good friendship with RIL. We are always getting advise from them. I don't commit (what will happen in future) but Mukesh Ambani's advise will continue. Yesterday only I met him," Dhoot told a TV channel.
RIL had not bid for BWA spectrum in 2010 but later went on to acquire Infotel Broadband which had won a pan-India spectrum for offering high-speed Internet services. Broadband does not has permission to provide voice calling facility. Another surprise was Sistema, which decided against the participation saying that it has been "unfairly penalised" by the February order of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court had cancelled 122 licences, including 21 of Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd -- the Russian firm's Indian joint venture. Videocon's 21 permits were also among those cancelled. Norway's Telenor, whose 22 licences with Indian joint venture with realty firm Unitech were among those cancelled, has applied as an independent entity.
DoT is conducting auction of airwaves frequencies in 1800 Mhz, being used for GSM services at present, and 800 Mhz band, being used for CDMA services, after the Supreme Court cancelled 122 telecom licences belonging to eight different companies in 2G scam. The cancelled licences included 22 permits of Uninor (joint venture between Unitech Wireless and Norwegian firm Telenor), Loop's 21, Sistema-Shyam's (SSTL) 21, Etisalat-DB's 15, S Tel's 6, Videocon's 21, Idea's 9 and three licences of TTSL.
The apex court has asked government to complete spectrum auction by January 11, 2013 and warned that failure to meet the deadline would invite "contempt" action against erring officials with "exemplary" cost. The government will auction maximum of 11 blocks of spectrum in 1800 Mhz band, being used for GSM services, each having 1.25 Mhz of airwaves frequencies. New players and companies whose licences were cancelled by the Supreme Court will have to bid for minimum of four spectrum blocks in a service area to start their services.
The Cabinet has fixed Rs 14,000 crore for 4 blocks of pan-India spectrum in the 1800 Mhz band. Existing players, or companies whose licences were unaffected by the apex court judgement will be allowed to bid maximum of 2 blocks in 1800 Mhz band. SC Khanna, former secretary general of Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India (AUSPI), said, "There is no business case for companies to participate in auction with such a high reserve price."
He added after paying such a high price for spectrum, the companies can be able to offer services with tariffs ranging between Rs 1 -1.50 paise a minute while the existing players are offering tariffs of 40 paise a minute.
"The people who have not participated are wise people because there is no business case in this auction," he added.

Re: Ridiculous
Re: Ridiculous
You're happy when the scales only tip in your favor, then you group together like a bunch of girls at a lunch table poking fun at people.
You enjoy the broken aspects of the game so as long as they work in your favor everything is fine. You accept mediocrity, and that's just sad.

Did you have invincible opponents on the enemy team? You say you had your teammates taking damage yet one of your players was invincible from our side, at least from when I was in the match. Maybe when I left the lifebar came back and he could take damage. (sometimes it works to stabilize issues taking place)
The server drops are causing glitches to occur in the matches, so whenever the fourth player from my team didn't make it into the match it glitched over to your side giving invincibility to someone. Before that (or was it after?) I was in a match with four players who had no life/mp bar.
I also took a picture of me gaining Breath of Amphitrite Rank 3 when I gained a level as Ares two matches ago.
Re: Ridiculous
I guess I'll attempt to be the voice of reason here.
Let's look at a lot of the negativity toward Silver in this thread. Hmm, happens to be from people that play Ascension a lot, some might say too much, and most in the same clan. Okay.
Almost all of those same people are also ascended and pretty far along.
Silver's only pointing out a very common scenario for those of us who see the sun now and then. Matchmaking, for some reason, likes to hurl us into games against ascended parties and we haven't even ascended once yet. Of course this isn't any big issue to you guys, you've already ascended, some of you more than once and you run in groups.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but a lot of people play with randoms and maybe don't get to put in the same hours into this game that you do.
I don't mind Silver's posts, he often brings up genuine issues. You don't have to love the tone of his comments, but try to lower the fanboy defenses for a second and see that most of the time he's bringing something up that's legitimate. Perhaps not always, but more often than not.
She's going to have to fall on her sword. Which means that we have to stick one in the ground, trip her onto it and get someone to jump up and down on her back for ten minutes. --

A poem about the dreaded fear we have of being sick. And that when we get it. We almost always lose hope. Even if there is some to be found.
I feel the sickness
In my bones
Soon to be broken, they are so brittle
And they will never heal
I feel the sickness
Under my skin
Raising it, creating bubbles
From toxic gas
That can never be taken from me
Without my implosion
I feel the sickness
In my blood
Boiling inside me
Ruining me with no way out
I feel the sickness
In my heart
Weighing it down
Slowly takeing it over
Impossible to undo what's been done
I feel the sickness
In my head
One second I'm smiling
Next my life is horrible
Caught in an endless circle
I feel the sickness
In my soul
There maybe be hope for me
But I don't see it
Which makes all the difference

Imagine: The Most Radical Antiwar Campaign Ad Ever?
Non-profit regulations make discussing elements of electoral politics difficult. But we have to acknowledge what might be the most hard-core antiwar ad ever in a major party campaign.
Check it out.
Upsetting the Reset
Last week, the Federation of American Scientists released "Upsetting the Reset: The Technical Basis of Russian Concern Over NATO Missile Defense" [.pdf]. The introduction includes a recurring theme of the Bush-Obama years:
In September 2009, the Obama administration discarded its predecessor's European missile defense initiative that called for powerful ground-based interceptors (GBIs) in Poland with a large radar site in the Czech Republic. … Some Russian critics characterized them as threatening because they could potentially be re-engineered to be offensive nuclear-tipped missiles.
The Obama administration instead proposed the new European Phased Adaptive Approach (PAA), presented as a more flexible alternative based on the roughly ten times smaller SM-3 interceptors. …
The shelving of the original plan was initially greeted with much optimism as it was seen as the first step in "resetting" bilateral relations with Russia, which had suffered under the George W. Bush administration. It allowed the discussions of New START to get off the ground and cleared the way for greater cooperation on areas of common concern, such as addressing the possible military dimension of the Iranian nuclear program.
Over the last two years – as details and analysis of the PAA plan have emerged – Russian officials have voiced increasing concern about its scope and implications for Russia's strategic deterrent forces.
How dare they! With popular villain big bad Vlad on his way back to the Kremlin, expect a surge in stories about Russian paranoia and expansionism.

Medvedev's 'Tough Guy Act'
According to CBS, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's first six months in office have contradicted the "liberal" reputation he (apparently) had when he was first elected. Maybe it's a shock to some that one can be "soft spoken" and never have been a KGB spook and yet still, as president, look out of the interests of one's country. But the examples given for Medvedev's alleged illiberalism don't hold water.
Opposition to missile defense? Nearly everyone with a clue is opposed to the US basing a missile defense system, especially one that does not even work, in Poland and the Czech Republic. Being a liberal in either the contemporary American or the classical sense doesn't preclude opposing US imperial ambitions, anyhow.
Criticizing the US financial system? Hasn't everyone all the way up to our own president done so by now? Economists have been warning of a collapse for years and classical liberals have been warning about bubbles since before anyone alive on this planet was born. This is hardly a "continu[ation]" of "Cold War rhetoric" on Medvedev's part.
Georgia. Please. I think any journalist who would like to remain credible at this point should just recognize that Georgia did indeed begin the August conflict, and not desperately reach for something, anything with which to bludgeon Russia — even for filler in a weak hit piece. Really, if all you have is that Russia "used excessive force against Georgia" — not at all an objectively measurable statement — you simply must shut up.
And then, oh no! Russia sends a warship to Venezuela. Somehow, the completely insignificant country of Venezuela has become the boogeyman not just of the right wing, but of the mainstream as well. You don't have to be a fan of that Chávez clown to be confused by all the wasted breath over a government with no choice but to sell Bush's America its oil. That Russia wants to add a little luster to its rusty, crumbled image does not make Medvedev suddenly anti-liberal.
No, it's not Medvedev's image as a liberal that is in doubt — if it ever existed. It's CBS's as a significant source of original journalism. This frivolous, vacuous bit of tripe doesn't belong on a news page. For more sophisticated analysis of Russia and its foreign (and domestic) policy, I suggest War Nerd.
War Doesn't End With Treaties
Something made me perk up this morning, going through the weekend's news. After two weeks of reading about South Ossetia's irregulars, the militiamen blamed for everything from looting to attempted genocide, in the periphery of news stories, this morning I read this in the Washington Post:
In Khetagurovo, housewife Ofelia Dzhanyeva said she had lost her brother during the war in the early 1990s when South Ossetia threw off Georgian control, and after the latest conflict nothing would induce Ossetians to accept Tbilisi's rule.
"None of the Ossetians is even thinking of reconciliation with Georgia now," she said. "In 1991 our children turned into refugees. Now they have grown up to defend their homeland."
She's talking about the 1991-92 South Ossetia War, when the Ossetians declared independence from Georgian rule, and Georgia retaliated by invading the territory. The children who suffered in that conflict grew up internalizing simmering hatreds. When Georgia once again attacked this year, bombing South Ossetian villages, they finally had a chance to unleash their pent-up rage. The comportment of the official South Ossetian Army, some 2500-3000 men, was eclipsed by the rampaging of nearly 20,000 irregulars.
A cease-fire was agreed upon in the 90s conflict, but officials cannot sign away the damage done to a generation of young people by their policies. The latest conflict, with its thousands of refugees, may be setting the stage for the next generation of children obsessed with revenge. Official independence, especially if only recognized by Russia, isn't likely to paper over those wounds.
Even though the scale of this conflict is relatively tiny, with "mere" tens of thousands of refugees, the entire world has been in some way affected. Western-Russian relations are at the lowest point since the cold war — and one shudders to think of the possibilities if Georgia had been allowed to join NATO.
Now consider the numbers we're dealing with in Iraq. A "ripening," so to speak, of the personal crises of every young Iraqi may be 10-15 years in the future. Barring a far-reaching patching up of grievances between Westerners and Iraqis, as well as between groups throughout that ethnic maze, the world might be in for another South Ossetia — times 1000.

A/N: My second ever fanfic. First ever Draco/Harry. They just belong together though don't they? I have a problem with comma's and this is not beta'd, but please enjoy.
I hate that little curl on the back of his head. I can't understand where it came from, the rest of that head is covered in a shaggy mess, but then there is that curl just touching the top of his robes at the back. I want to cut it off. I wonder if he would notice if I just reached forward and muttered a little severing charm to get rid of it.
"Malfoy! What the fuck are you doing?"
I turned to look at Weasley, I hadn't even noticed that I'd started to lean forward; I was just staring at that damned piece of hair.
"It's none of your business Weasel" I smirked at him, praying to whoever was listening that he wouldn't make a big fuss and make him turn around. I had forgotten however, that whoever may have been listening probably hated me for all the shit I caused, and so those green eyes were suddenly locked on mine and it made my blood boil.
How much I hated those eyes, and those stupid glasses just made them seem even bigger. Made him look like some wide eyed innocent child. Well we all know what a load of shit that is! I've seen him around with at least a dozen different girls this year, not all of them in our grade either. I don't know what they see in him. Apart from the obvious physical flaws, his uniform is never neat, I don't think I've ever seen him come to class with his tie straight or his robes draped correctly and frankly it's just irritating. There are of course those eyes, and then lastly that damned hair. I'm not sure I can stand to look at him much longer to tell the truth. I'm sure simply the sight of him will infect me, next thing you know I'm going to start smiling at everyone just like he does.
The most infuriating thing about that smile is that he never does it for me. It doesn't matter how witty I am, how cleverly I manage to insult the Mudblood and Weasel. That smile seems to be reserved only for those of lower birth. It's just one more thing about that stupid boy that I just can't stand, and I'll be glad of the day when we finally graduate from this hell hole and I can live in peace, or at least be able to get through the day without having to look at him.
The problem, I discovered, is that I hate him so much I am even subjected to his presence in my dreams! Surely some torture designed especially for me to make sure that I never get him out of my head. Although lately, my dreams have at least been somewhat satisfying. He is far more agreeable in my dreams, allowing me to smooth out his hair, remove those glasses and finally receive the full blast of that smile. Perhaps, if he were more like this in real life then I wouldn't have to hate him so much. This of course is just more proof that he does this simply to annoy me.
It's not just the obvious things either. I hate the way he runs his hand through his hair, and then quickly re-arranges it over his scar, as though any of us could forget who he is. I hate the way he's always casting quick glances at the ground whilst waiting for the snitch as though afraid to fall. Granted, he has fallen quite a few times before, but he was never seriously injured, so I can't understand what he's so worried about! I hate the way he chews his food, always with that smile on his face, never truly enjoying anything he's eating, as he's always too distracted by the people around him. Of course, now I hate the fact that he sits with his back to the Slytherin table after he caught me sneering at him once at dinner, I think it's just simply rude to turn your back on other people. He needs to learn some manners.
It's the way he gets my heart going every time I catch a look at him. This hatred must be so ingrained now that with the mere sight of him, my heart starts to pump my blood furiously around my body, just ready to pounce. I remember reading once about what the Muggles call a 'fight or flight' response, well this is clearly my 'fight' response as I would never imagine fleeing from him.
I'm walking along after class now, having managed to curb my instinct to cut his hair, when I see him bent over in an alcove. Tying his shoes probably, that boy can never remember that he is a wizard and above having to bend to tie anything. I approach him to remind him of this very fact, when he suddenly stands upright and turns to face me.
His face is flushed red from the blood rushing to his head, and he has removed his glasses, probably to stop them simply falling off his nose as also forgets to use a sticking charm to keep them in place. He looks so much like my dreams that I forget I am not sleeping and instinctively reach out to smooth his hair. He just stares at me, green eyes going wider as I manage to bring some control that to birds nest he calls his head.
I pull my hand back and appraise my work. As I look over my creation, I discover that those eyes are quite nice actually, if I forget who they belong to; and if I just straighten that tie, there, he looks almost decent. Much better, I think to myself, wondering just how he was getting his mouth to look so pouty right now. I might have to ask him, I'm sure that must be why all those girls like him, maybe he can teach me.
"Thanks." He says, smiling at me in what I know is the first time ever.
Oh Merlin! I said that out loud didn't I? And now that I thought about it, I realized I had in fact said "Much better". Fuck!
"I can never seem to get it right, my hair just doesn't seem to want to lie flat, and my tie always slips sideways. No one ever seemed to care so I just couldn't be bothered fixing it."
He was talking to me, which was strange because apart from the usual "get lost Malfoy" (inventive I know), he never really speaks to me and I wonder why all of a sudden he's decided to grant me his oh-so-precious time. I suppose, after killing a Dark Lord and helping capture his dark followers, he might have decided that old grudges need to be set aside. I agree actually, but this damned hatred thing just won't seem to go away, so I decided long ago to just fly with it. He was still talking.
"… The most stupid thing I've ever had to do. But I guess we all had to do it, right?"
And he's smiling at me again, waiting for a response, except that I wasn't listening so I have no idea what I'm supposed to be agreeing to.
"Uh, yeah." I manage to get out, then immediately feel like smacking my head against the wall because I have never sounded so uncultured in all my life and I should probably just kill myself now before word gets back to my father and he decides to do the honours. But he's smiling again, and I guess what I ever said was the right thing.
"I think its stupid don't you?" he paused as though waiting for a response, but since I had no idea what was stupid, I decided remaining mute was the best idea until I had figured out what it was.
He seemed to figure out that I wasn't going to respond, so he continued.
"This whole hating each other thing. I hated you because you insulted my friends, and just generally were an egotistical, pure-blooded, snobbish…"
I looked at him, giving him my most practiced, incredulous look. I had seen my father deliver this look on countless occasions and it always served to stop the blithering idiot in their nonsensical tirade.
"Right, sorry." He continued. "Anyway, I've been through things a thousand times worse than you could ever have single handedly put me through. I've lost more people than you could ever imagine loving in your entire life and I'm over it. I'm over this stupid rivalry, and the stupid sneers and glares. I want a life, and I finally get the chance to live one that is solely my own. If I want to fuck it up I can." He smiled again.
Now, I pride myself on being intelligent, I always think three moves ahead of any opponent and am never confused or surprised. However, this was making no sense at all.
"You're rambling Potter. It's very unattractive." Although why I was thinking about his level of attractiveness was beyond me, I think he may have confounded me when I walked up, that would explain all the weirdness. He smiled again.
Won't his face get sore doing that all the time, it's certainly tiring me out already.
"I'm telling you I want to fuck up my life." He laughed this time. Hmm… definitely crazy.
"Look, for so long, I hated you, and I'm not really sure why. Then in the end, when it was all over, I saw you and your family and I thought maybe, you're just a normal person, with some strange ideas about life. So maybe I was wrong to hate you. And maybe, I'm sick of being the boy who lived-then died-then lived again-and killed the bad guy" He laughed again. "Maybe I want someone who doesn't want anything from me at all, someone constant, whose feelings have never changed no matter what I did. And maybe, no definitely, my friends and family will think I'm mad, that I'm under a spell or just generally fucked in the head. But I want a new life, and I want to let go of the old one because I didn't really like it that much to start with. So basically, I want to fuck up my life… with you."
That was long, and random and didn't exactly make sense, but a part of me must have understood it because that damned fight response was kicking in, I just couldn't figure out why.
"I want you to listen to me. I'm going to speak slowly and clearly and perhaps you can do the same. What the fuck are you going on about?" I practically shouted the last part, my heart thumping so loudly I thought perhaps he wouldn't be able to hear me over the noise. And damn him, he smiled again.
"I love you"
That was it, three words that still made no sense to me. I was beginning to think he really HAD confounded me. However, with all the extra beating my heart was doing I was starting to get a little light headed, so maybe that was just it.
"No… you hate me… I hate you…" I thought perhaps spreading it out like that would help my brain settle back down, just speak the facts and everything will be alright. Fuck! Why is he still smiling?
"Well see that's the thing about love. It's unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and… strangely easy to mistake for loathing"1 He wasn't smiling this time, it was more like a smirk. Like he knew something I didn't.
He stepped toward me, just one step and I thought my heart might explode. I was beginning to think that maybe I was dying, this couldn't simply be hatred, this was too intense, I was about to have a heart attack and die and no one would help me. One more step and he was nose to nose with me. Well, more like nose to mouth as I am definitely at least an inch taller. However, that inch difference didn't seem to matter when he rose up on tip toes and pressed his lips to mine.
My heart went crazy, and my stomach decided to do somersaults and my brain switched off. It was a full scale attack and as soon as I got my senses back I was going to retaliate. However, the only sense I seemed to have right now was telling me to pull him closer and then push him against that wall so that he couldn't escape. I figured once I was able to get him back for this, that having him trapped against a wall would be very advantageous, so I followed my instincts.
So there we were, me and him, not an inch of air between us, snogging in an alcove. If Pansy had come to me yesterday and told me I would be enjoying it this much, I would have hexed her. Well I would have hexed her again, as she was already sporting Dumbo ears after attempting to touch me at dinner last night. Once the need for air started to invade my brain fog, I pulled away.
"I hate your clothes, and your hair, and your glasses and your eyes and your stupid smile" I said, my mouth brushing his with every word. "I have a perfect life, with perfect parents and perfect hair, clothes and everything." My brain was still a fog, but my heart seemed to be coming to rest. "You're going to fuck up my life".
"I know." He said. And I smiled.
1. This is a quote from Stardust, which I saw last night and loved and that quote prompted this story.
Please review. Feedback appreciated, however I do know that I have a comma problem, and I know its not really very professionally written but it's supposed to be the thoughts of an 18 year old boy, so slightly random. Also this is just a small snapshot in time, it does not deal with all their issues, friends etc.

We need to be sure to make that happen soon though. I've done it for the past couple of releases. It's not that big of a deal, but does involve several manual steps including signing each of the files locally and uploading them into the correct spot at www.apache.org.

Most of the instructions are actually out there, but they are not Lucene specific: http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ReleaseManager Having the steps on the Lucene wiki would be nice though.

- Safe Action Semi-Auto, example: Glock

I took that ridiculous thing a few months back and have regretted it ever since. To get the results of Piazza's quiz, you must give them your email address.
Be prepared for an endless onslaught of Frontsite garbage emails.
Life (and certainly curiosity) can suck!
The answer, according to those maniacs, is, of course, Glock. All others will get you killed.
Well, that was a wasted ten minutes that I can never get back. Of course, I can always sign up for his email newsletter (for $200) and get all kinds of free things, including a 4 day course from them. Yeah, that's gonna happen.
Yep first the newsletter, then a free course then next thing you know you will be buying a super double platinum lifetime membership for the reduced price of $14.00. Then comes the land and home at the Front Sight facility, oh wait those don't exist but you can pay for them now anyways just for the heck of it.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
Way back when I started looking at concealed carry I googled pretty much the same question, lol.
Best answer I found - "the one you carry everyday".
The stupidity of some people NEVER ceases to amaze me.
My order:
1. •Safe Action Semi-Auto: Glock
2. •Single Action Semi-auto, examples: Dan Wesson Valor, Les Baer, Ed Brown 1911
The minimum is not what I want to defend my life with.
Oh, you mean Iggy Piazza, the self-proclaimed "Millionaire Patriot", legend in his own mind? I don't think there exists a more narcissistic human.
your head; if it doesn't work right nothing else will
Eh, I think I will pass on taking the on-line quiz. At the moment, as I sit here at home, the best defensive handgun is the 2.25" SP101 in the pocket of my shorts. When I go Downtown for a meeting at 1PM, I will carry the same SP101, plus another handgun equal or larger in size, depending upon what I decide to wear in this coastal Texas summer heat. The candidates are: 2.25" or 3" SP101, 4" S&W Model 19, and 5" 1911.
Tonight, at work, I will still have the SP101, but it will clearly be a secondary weapon, as my personally-owned P229 rides in the duty rig, claiming the official "primary" title, as defined by my employer.
I even own a new-to-me G17, which may work its way into my defensive pistol equation, especially if/when I set aside the P229, as .40 recoil is starting to become abusive to my aging, formerly stronger wrist. (My chief has yet to sign off on a proposal that would allow 9mm as an alternative primary duty cartridge.)

You purchased your RX-7 because its fuel efficiency and long-lasting quality agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Mazda vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck. Auto enthusiasts know that a sporty attitude is built into each Mazda, and know that only the highest quality replacement RX-7 parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Your Mazda dealership isn't the only place to find genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your RX-7.
Using hydraulic pressure to accomplish a task is a millennia old feat of engineering. Your Mazda RX-7 has a brake system that uses hydraulic pressure generated inside the brake master cylinder. This part compresses fluid inside the cylinder and sends it to your calipers and/or wheel cylinders. The calipers and wheel cylinders are a form of slave cylinder; using the hydraulic pressure from the Mazda RX-7 brake master cylinder to pinch your brake pads against the rotor or the brake shoes against the drum so you can regain control of your automobile when necessary.
Don't let a Brake Master Cylinder repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the correct Mazda RX-7 part for your project or repair. Bring your RX-7 back to life with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Need 1995, 1994, 1993, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979 Mazda RX-7 Brake Master Cylinder parts? We've got them right here.

Hi there! I'm doing my first half marathon in 10 days time and just wanted a bit of advice about what to eat before hand. Its a 9.30am start and when I do my long runs on a Sunday (10-12 miles) I normally have a banana at 6am then go out by 8am. I have actually ran 13 miles on a banana and had a gel pouch at about 8 miles and felt ok. Would this be suffcient for the day? Should I change what I'm used too? I find I can't eat anything for 2 hours before, blimey am getting nervous just writing this what am I going to be like on the day! Anyway thanks for any help!
Dont go experimenting too much on the day, whatever you do!! May lead to an explosion!!
Stick with what you normally do. And as TTTB says, the evening before is just as crucuial............ no Indian curries. Have pasta and get the carbs nicely loaded up. Avoid cream sauces, go for a tomato-ey one. And lots of fluid (not of the alcoholic variety)
A lot of it is pscyological (gosh, thats difficult to spell). If you go into a race thinking " right, Ive trained well, and my body is ready", you will feel more positive than going with a dodgy tummy from the night before. Stick with your bananas, no roughage in the morning of the race, (porridge. Special K is nice and light, try it this week before a run and see how you do with it) make sure you go to the loo etc etc.
Have your gel mid race and you will be fine......... some people also have a gel before the race. I personally dont, and I also wouldnt personally try it as a new option on race day itself. Again because I dont want to do anything diferent that night lead to an "accident".
You have to keep yourself calm and collected so that when you are on the line you are ready. This applies to a 6 minute-miler and to a 13-minute miler. We are all the same.
As has been said already, don't try anything new on race day.
My breakfast will be a bowl of porridge at about 7:15 (if I'm up in time) and plenty of water before walking down St Michael's Hill to the start.
Oh and all the best on 14th!!

Maxxie: bare roomMature
Cay's out like a light the moment he reaches a bed. I heave a sigh, leaning on the doorframe, watching him sleep for a moment. Sure, I'm tired, but not that tired. I look around the place, sorting things out as I go, avoiding my bedroom for as long as possible. Cay had ended up in my parent's room, but none of their things remain; the house is almost empty. The cleaner did a good job, but a few things have been moved.
With a sleepy scowl, I correct it all, eventually running out of things to do. I want to go lie with Cay, but my brain is nagging at me to check my room as well and eventually I give in.
I throw open the door to be bitterly greeted by blank cream coloured walls, a bare bed and bedside stand. Even the carpet was taken up. The unpolished floorboards make my footsteps sound loud and unforgiving and I wince, slipping off my shoes, quietly placing them at the end of the bed. I find myself sitting on the mattress, leaning back against the wall with my knees hugged to my chest, my gaze fixed on the floor.
My thoughts fall to my mum and how this room came to be so bare. When I came out, my mum flipped out. I hadn't expected it to go well, but I hadn't expected her to kick me out and try to remove every trace of my being from the house, either. If there was a photo I could be folded out of, I was folded out of it. If I'd left something of mine in the house, it was thrown away. Apparently even a carpet I'd chosen was too much to handle and had to be removed.
Not for the first time in the last week, I begin to wonder if the brother I was supposed to have had would have stuck up for me. Or would he have ended up like Hadley? Being a still born, my brother was never given a name, or a proper grave. My mum had often referred to him as William, though. "You should have been the still born baby, not William. William wouldn't have been such a disappointment," was one of my mum's favourite things to say to me for the year we still had contact after I came out. Of course after nearly seven years, not a lot of it gets to me anymore.
Words fade, after all.
Stripped out bedrooms, however, don't.
I fall asleep like that, sat there with my arms around my legs, my chin resting on one knee. My imagined older brother walks through my dreams, telling me how he approves of Cay and the way I've moved on from my parent's shit.
I'm trying to hug him when I wake up, my arms around someone else entirely. I blink and look up at Cay. At some point, I'd laid down on my side, still curled up. It's from this awkward angle that I've wrapped my arms around Cay in a bear hug. I moan slightly at having been woken up, and close my eyes, but I don't let go of him, instead pulling him down to lie with me.
