The Basics: I'm a 45 year-old, stay-at-home mom of an adorable two year old girl. I'm happily married to a wonderful man who is my living contradiction, the quiet to my loud, the calm to my frantic. Life continually amuses, bemuses and confuses me.
My first poem, which I wrote at five, was entitled, "Lov is Magik" and my father kept the fading, folded paper I scribbled it upon in his wallet for decades. I have tinkered in poetry ever since, but my main passion is fiction. My short stories have been published in the local papers. Occasionally, I dabble with creative non-fiction. I have a several chapters of a book completed which I'm hoping to submit to Avalon Books.
Despite years of living in Ontario, I will always consider myself foremost a Montrealer. Now living in Waterloo County, home of Research in Motion, maker of the Blackberry, I am content in our downsized apartment which is close to uptown, but overlooks Laurel Creek. Though considered Canada's Silicon Valley, the city is surrounded by a picturesque countryside filled with Mennonites. It is not uncommon to see a Mercedes Benz carefully pass a horse drawn wagon. Even our local hardware stores provide parking for buggies. We have many wonderful festivals, two universities, and culture galore.
I spent years as an E.C.E. teacher and adore children. Now, that I have one of my own –after 16 heartbreaking years of infertility – my days are filled with finger paints and drinking imaginary tea from tiny pink tea cups. Sleep is a distant memory and writing is my night time balm. My hubby works evening shifts. After my girl is asleep, my imagination runs wild and I write.
I am a Jill of all trades. I've worked as a personal care attendant in a home for young people with physical and developmental challenges. Had a short go as a dishwasher in my younger days, oh joy. I've also been an engraver, a store manager, a cashier at the Sally Anne, but my last job was as at an office where I worked on databases (I WISH I was a geek.)
As a newer member of Poetry Soup, I am often dazzled by its diversity,the quiet, shy voices, the bellows in the foreground, the cackles in the corners. There is so much talent here! I love the contests run by its members as I enjoy a challenge.
Nice to meet you! Looking forward to growing together, as writers and friends.
Hugs, Cyndi
The need for rhyme makes a writer mix in the mind registers
and topic fields in an unpredictable way and this enables
surprising and imaginative expressions to be developed
which will be enhanced if the rhyme also contributes
as it should to the sonic structure of the poem.

HeartBy Ira DawsonMember since: Nov 2012
She hallowed out her heart again,She tore out all the black.Then scraped the walls with her bare hands,Until she reached the back.She washed off all the rusted screws,And broken veins, and pounding wounds.She tried to make sense of this scene,But honestly, she could not think.She knew she had to start fresh,But in her chest was left a mess.But in her hands was left the flesh,Of memories and secrets kept.No Road ReturnsBy Florian BeauchampMember since: Nov 2012
No road returnsbut turns insteadaround the wordsyou should have saidand leads at lastto this damp bedwhere half-lightsflicker in your headand all aroundthe books you've readcan't tell you whythe white swan bledand tore itselfto pieces overheadwhile you, in doubt,read on instead.The strangest sightsthe strangest soundsnow reach the earthfrom undergroundyour place betrayedyour hiding foundyour heart is measuredpound for pound.And all those wordsyou never saidmust heavy weighyour heart like leadand burdened soin your sick bedmust leave the light

From your sponsor...Please, leave your news,
leave your views, leave us a few bars of fresh blues, leave a line of verse that may confuse, leave the pieces that others refuse.Though I understand life can lay you low, take a break, take a month, take a holiday, take that hurt and peel its decay,take as long as you need,take a look and make it bleed,take a walk with a friend,take an ear and force it to bend,take time for yourself, for family, take heartbreak and set it free,take your loss and let it grieve,oh, but sweet friendsthink twice before you go,and please do not take your leave.Love YOUS.xox

Just arrived: A petition to FIFA to introduce video technology to protect the integrity of the game:
Dear Mr Blatter
I am a football fan. I recognise that referees are human and that even the best ones make mistakes. I believe that referees need and deserve the support of technology such as video-replay whenever it can be afforded. The integrity of the sport of football depends on it.
Please ask the International Football Association Board to take my preference into account when it meets in July to reconsider this topic.
To add your name to the petition, go here. Pass it on. And thanks.

My oh my, now she's an HR expert? HAHAHA! Good one! Bartz has far more professional training and HR experience than you, she had the meeting covered! If it was so important and it was a business trip you should of sent someone in your place either for the day or the week, regardless your efforts come too late.
"There are more options than two. You don't have to terminate"Another good one! Did you give or recommend anyone a second chance last year? ANYONE? Out of how many people? How about when you used Jerry to fire Chief Sinnamon -after he did what his boss told him to do, trim the budget by 2m. If I recall Jerry did not give a reason for almost a year and then said he fired him because of a "personality conflict". Sound familiar?
"We can give other options Sabbatical, mediation. We all know there was a lot of hostility. ..."
At this point, you are creating the hostility. Was anyone else offered options before they were fired? I think not! Nope everyone was treated like trash. Sabbatical is what you're going to call it when the "top brass" return from their paid vacation.
"We were part of what can be determined as a hostile work environment. I expect more from us."
Lawsuit anyone??? This statement makes her a liability for the city and the taxpayers. How could she publically say this when there is an active lawsuit that claims the City of PSL is a hostile place to work. She clearly is not fit for the position and has rendered herself to be ineffective. She is led by her emotions and cannot work with the other council members or represent the city in a professional mannor. In the real world she would be let go for that comment alone!
Enough of her...She should be recalled!
You and DisfunctionalGov must be one of the "Top Brass?" Move on with your pathetic life. Stop Kry-aking!!!!

HOOPSWORLD Week In Review
Best of Who's Left In NBA Free Agency
By Derek Page
It's almost desperation time in free agency. That point in which your favorite team has come up empty-handed as the star player they've lusted after re-signs with the home team or the home team matches an offer to the star player.
After this happens, expect the teams left out in the cold to make a run at the best of what's left in the free agent class of 2012.
Let's keep in mind that none of the deals that have been reported so far are official until this Wednesday, July 11. Nonetheless, here's the cream of the crop of free agents still available without a deal in place by position:
Six Pack: A Look At The Knicks' Retooled Roster
By Tommy Beer
HOOPSWORLD's Senior NBA Analyst Tommy Beer takes you through his most recent musings on the National Basketball Association in this latest installment of the NBA Six Pack… This week, we focus on New York, in a very Knicks-centric Six Pack
1. Marcus Camby Returns to Gotham
Despite having the NBA's best defensive player in Tyson Chandler, the 2011-2012 Knicks occasionally struggled getting stops over the second half of the season. In particular, NY's interior defense was badly exposed whenever Chandler went to the bench for a quick rest, or was prematurely sidelined due to foul trouble.
In addition, rebounding was an issue for New York last season as well. The Knicks averaged just 41.7 rebounds per game, which landed them in the bottom third of the league.
Recapping The NBA Trades
By Mark Nugent
The NBA trade season is just getting underway and already several big names have changed places. A two-time MVP has a new home, as does last year's Most Improved Player. With more trades on the horizon, HOOPSWORLD takes a look at the deals that have already gone down.
Brooklyn Nets receive Joe Johnson; Atlanta Hawks receive Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar, DeShawn Stevenson, Jordan Williams, Johan Petro, and a lottery-protected 2013 first-round pick the Nets acquired from the Houston Rockets.
The Brooklyn Nets were determined to open their new arena with an All-Star. In trading for Joe Johnson, the Nets were assured of having at least one All-Star on the roster at the start of the 2012-13 season. When this trade was originally agreed to, Deron Williams had yet to make up his mind about coming back to the Nets. As it turns out, Williams re-signed with Brooklyn in part because of the addition of Johnson.
The Nets are still in the hunt for Dwight Howard, but even if the Nets are unable to obtain him, they will start the season with Williams, Johnson, Gerald Wallace and most likely Brook Lopez, who is a restricted free agent. That's a major improvement for a team that finished last year tied for the fifth-worst record in the league.
Dallas Mavericks Coming Together
By Derek Page
It's not Deron Williams or Dwight Howard but the Dallas Mavericks are continuing this offseason with the goal of contending next season while also having financial flexibility for the summer of 2013.
According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the most recent acquisition has the Mavericks trading for Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison. The deal, which involves the Mavericks sending center Ian Mahinmi via sign-and-trade, would net Dallas both Collison and guard Dahntay Jones.
For the Pacers, acquiring Mahinmi gives the team a solid number two center behind the newly re-signed Roy Hibbert at a reasonable price of four years, $16 million.
For Dallas, the team that struck out in the Williams sweepstakes continues to try to fill out a mostly barren roster with a thrifty approach.
Nets Move On From Howard In A Big Way
By Alex Raskin
Now that the Dwight Howard sweepstakes has come to an end for the Brooklyn Nets, general manager Billy King moved on to other business in a big way on Wednesday.
In all, five deals became official while two more were agreed upon.
To start, Deron Williams opened the free agency signing period by inking a five-year, $98 million deal at 12:01 a.m. That news was followed by Gerald Wallace's signing, which comes to $40 million over four years. The Nets then announced that former Atlanta Hawks swingman Joe Johnson had officially been acquired for Jordan Farmar (who will be bought out and sign to play in Turkey), Anthony Morrow, Jordan Williams, Johan Petro and DeShawn Stevenson, as well as a future first and a second-round pick.
17-year NBA veteran Jerry Stackhouse also agreed to a contract with the Nets, he told Chris Tomasson of FoxSports.com, while Reggie Evans was acquired in a trade from the Los Angeles Clippers and former Euroleauge scoring champ Mirza Teletovic inked a three-year deal for the tax-paying mid-level exception of $3.09 million per season.
Oklahoma City Thunder's Final Move?
By Susan Bible
In another unforeseen offseason move, the Oklahoma City Thunder signed undrafted three-year Georgetown product, Hollis Thompson, to a contract today. Per team policy, the terms were not disclosed. Reports indicate it's a three-year deal, partially guaranteed with a team option for the second and third years.
With this signing, the Thunder has filled its 15th and final roster spot. Given Hasheem Thabeet was officially signed today and Perry Jones III was just drafted with their 28th pick, the Thompson pick-up would imply Nazr Mohammed, Derek Fisher and Royal Ivey will not return to the team.
Thompson will not participate in the NBA Summer League as he is scheduled to undergo a minor procedure on his left groin this week. According to the team's press release, Thompson should be able to resume basketball activities in three to four weeks.

December 26, 2008 | 5:12 pm
Posted by Adam Wills
Father William Sanchez wears a Star of David pendant on the same chain as his crucifix, and he keeps a menorah in his parish office. After a DNA test confirmed his Sephardic roots, the Albuquerque priest has been actively reconciling this discovery with his Catholic beliefs.
"Knowledge of my Jewish ancestry has provoked me to question things, yes," Sanchez says in the book, "Abraham's Children: Race, Identity and the DNA of the Chosen People" by Jon Entine (Grand Central, 2007).
Looking back over his childhood in New Mexico, Sanchez now recognizes the Jewish signs: his parents shunning pork, spinning tops during Christmas and covering the mirrors at home if someone in the family died.
For Crypto-Jews like Sanchez, DNA testing services can confirm or disprove suspicions about a hidden Jewish family history, uncover unknown genetic disease risks or inspire greater exploration of Judaism. For small populations in Africa and Asia, genetic research has shed light on claims of Jewish ancestry and provided a better understanding of Jewish migration over thousands of years.
But critics fear that Jewish genetic research also opens a Pandora's box. The discovery of a shared genetic marker among men who claim to be descended from Kohanim grew into wild, exaggerated claims in the media that geneticists had confirmed the story of Aaron. Some have decried research exploring a genetic basis for Ashkenazi intelligence as politically incorrect and racist, since all humans are 99.9 percent similar.
Entine believes exploring that .1 percent is worth getting researchers riled up.
An American Enterprise Institute fellow and former NBC news producer, Entine is no stranger to controversy. He tackled the topic of race in sports with "Taboo: Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We're Afraid to Talk About It" (PublicAffairs Books, 1999), which was lauded by Scientific American as a "well-researched, relatively thorough and lucidly written case."
After "Taboo" was published, Entine learned his sister had breast cancer. As a teenager, he had lost his mother, grandmother and aunt to cancer over a period of three years. The family assumed it was a coincidence at the time, but recent genetic testing revealed the BRCA2 genetic mutation contributed to his sister's cancer.
Since Entine has a young daughter, he decided to undergo testing, which confirmed he carries the mutation. The experience inspired him to research the link between Jews and DNA.
The result is "Abraham's Children," a survey of Jewish genetic research paired with a chronicle of Jewish history that explores the thorny question: "Who is a Jew?"
Entine writes that Jewishness is a function of religion and ancestry, shaped by faith, politics and culture. Given the Jewish community's historically insular nature, most Jews also share genetic markers, which speaks to common ancestors.
This commonality inspired research in the 1990s that found the Cohen Modal Haplotype, a set of six identical genetic markers shared among Ashkenazic and Sephardic Kohanim, passed from father to son on the Y chromosome, which doesn't change much over time and may have originated with a common ancestor. While the genetic markers alone do not prove the existence of Aaron, they can be seen to confirm a biblical tradition.
The haplotype, however, is also not unique to Jews—Kurds, Armenians, southern and central Italians share these same markers but to a lesser extent.
Jewish genetic testing is also being used to better understand historic Jewish migration patterns. For instance, the Lemba, a southern African tribe that claims a longstanding Jewish heritage, were found to have Semitic genetics, including the Cohen haplotype. While their connection doesn't trace back directly to biblical Israel, their genetic heritage does seem to have a basis that likely originated with Diaspora Jews.
Entine argues, however, that DNA alone is not a basis for Jewish identity, and that the Jewish romance people have built up about what the Y chromosome or the mother's mitochondrial inheritance represents is only a tiny sliver of the overall genetic makeup.
For the Lemba, the 22 pairs of nonsex chromosomes, known as autosomal DNA, "is definitely African," Entine said, and the tribe's members are still expected to formerly convert if they wish to be recognized by Israel as Jews, much like Ethiopia's Falash Mura, who were found to have no Semitic DNA.
Despite Entine's use of "race" in the subtitle, a concept most genetic researchers no longer use and Jews abandoned after the Holocaust, he believes Jews are and have always been a tribal people, whose genetic diversity has grown over time through conversion and marriage.
"There's no question that Jews historically have been a people, and it's more than just a culture, and it's more than just a religion. Judaism was founded as a tribal religion. It was never just about faith," he said.
While the other geographically focused tribal religions died off, Judaism survived and became a major world religion, birthing two faith-based religions—Islam and Christianity, he says. "There's all kinds of rigmarole we have to go through that enforces a kind of peopleness on us, everything from the gauntlet you have to go through to understand and accept Judaism…. So there's always been an ancestral dimension to Judaism."
More important than identity, Entine says, are the medical dimensions of what Jewish DNA research represents.
Entine says the genetic insularity of Ashkenazim makes them an ideal group for medical research. While Ashkenazi DNA is believed to be a mixture of Middle Eastern Jews, Khazarian pagans and Christian converts, he says, the walls went up around the community about 1,000 years ago. Ashkenazi Jews had the lowest historical intermarriage rate of any culture, estimated a roughly .5 percent, which ensured that their genetic markers remained mostly unchanged.
The BRCA2 mutation present in Entine's family line represents one of more than 40 different genetic disorders that affect Jews. "The discovered differences can now be a matter of life and death," he said. "The fact is the medical research is so important, and there's so much desire to challenge our mortality that people are going to be focusing on our medical differences."
When his 10-year-old daughter turns 18, Entine would like her to go in for genetic tests. He believes the information could be used to aid her with early detection and possible prophylactic measures that could save her life.
"It's such a powerful, single-gene mutation that it's information she could productively use in her life," he said.

Vernellia R. Randall, Eliminating Racial Discrimination in Health Care: A Call for State Health Care Anti-discrimination Law, 10 DePaul Journal of Health Care Law 1 (Fall 2006) (123 Footnotes Omitted)
It might be that civil rights laws often go unenforced; it might be that current inequities spring from past prejudice and long standing economic differences that are not entirely reachable by law; or it might be that the law sometimes fails to reflect, and consequently fails to correct, the barriers faced by people of color. --Derrick Bell. Equal access to quality health care is a crucial issue facing the United States (US). For too long, we have denied too many Americans equal access to quality health care based on race, ethnicity, and gender. Many factors contribute to inequities: cultural incompetence of health care providers, socioeconomic inequities, disparate impact of facially neutral practices and policies, inadequacy of civil rights laws and enforcement, and multiple forms of discrimination. These inequities exist in health status, access to health care services, participation in health research and receipt of health care financing. This inequity in health care is doubly significant given the devastating racial inequity in health status that exists. The combination of racial inequity in health status, institutional racism in health care and inadequate legal protection points to a need for a major civil rights law for health care.

Since the mid-20th century, organizational theorists have increasingly distanced themselves from the study of core societal power centers and important policy issues of the day. This has been driven by a shift away from the study of organizations, politics, and society and towards a more narrow focus on instrumental exchange and performance. As a result, our field has become increasingly impotent as a critical voice and contributor to policy. For a contemporary example, witness our inability as a field to make sense of the recent U.S. mortgage meltdown and concomitant global financial crisis. It is not that economic and organizational sociologists have nothing to say. The problem is that while we have a great deal of knowledge about finance, the economy, entrepreneurship and corporations, we fail to address how the knowledge in our field can be used to contribute to important policy issues of the day. This book brings together some of the very top scholars in the world in economic and organizational sociology to address the recent global financial crisis debates and struggles around how to organize economies and societies around the world.
"Now that it's clear to just about everyone that there are institutions and organizations behind markets and that both have a major hand in market failures, who are you going to call? Organizational and economic sociologists of course! This book assembles scholars of significant repute from both fields with much to say about why we are where we are today. The messages are provocative and important. It's time to listen to the voices in this timely and important book. At the moment, this book should be on every thinking person's "to read" list."

Favorite 9 in '09
Well, after reviewing the year, what I've learned is that I really don't have a set style, maybe leaning toward blending and masks last year where 2008 was almost all extractions, but I like it all and I think that's a good thing. It keeps me from getting stagnate and bored. I also see that I need to get more shots of my older 3 children to scrap since most of my pages are of the littlest. I'm not taking complete blame for that though because I really try to get them in front of the camera. Anyway, ever figure out your fav 9 in '09? You might be surprised at the 9 you gather together, you might even learn a little something like I did.

It was sixteen below the night Jase died. Poor sod didn't stand a chance. He was stupid on drink; had no coat or hat, dressed just in his jeans and that black hoodie he loved so much. Stuck outside, he sat down and froze to death. I was a few feet from him - a few lousy feet. Indoors, in my bed, and I didn't know. Instead, I found him when I set out for work that morning; curled on the bench, on the patio below my window, pale, beautiful as ever and utterly dead.
I'd met Jase in the September. I'd just finished a long shift on the ward and when I got back to my car, one of my tyres was almost flat. There was a place between work and home and I pulled in on the way past. They looked like they were just about to shut up shop for the night. I had to turn on my best "little girl lost" impression. I laid it on thick; poor hard-working nurse on an early shift, what was I to do? They helped me out. The manager called Jase out of the back, asked for a favour. I could see he was gorgeous, even under a shift's worth of garage grime. He had thick dark hair, curling onto his forehead, his eyes shone, a beautiful rich nutty brown, and when he smiled, his face lit up, cheeky, boyish and dimpled. When he was making my bill up, we got talking, and even before he'd asked me to, I'd decided that yes, I would meet him for a drink.
Things were good for a while, we got on really well, and there was definitely attraction on both sides. I stayed over at his place a few times, he spent weekends at mine. But it had got to that stage, where you start to wonder what's next and I'd been beginning to think we weren't going anywhere. That's when Jase had said he wanted me to meet his Mum and Dad. He was clearly more serious than I was, and for all his happy-go-lucky appearance he was really quite conventional at heart. I wanted more. I wanted to get on in my career, to work abroad maybe, to specialise and do more training, I wasn't ready for commitment.
That night, Jase had been drinking with his mates. They never needed much of an excuse for piss up; Chris had got a new job and that was it; in The Queen's from early doors until they were kicked out. Jase had phoned me and asked me to join them, but I was on an early at work so I'd made that my excuse and stayed home with a DVD and a bottle of wine. Sometime after midnight Jase had said he was going to crash at mine and had left the pub on his own. I'd locked up and turned in about ten o'clock and I didn't hear a thing. No door bell, no phone call – the police found Jase's phone buried in the snow, he must have been trying to call me and dropped the bloody thing. The show was all churned up as if he'd been kicking it out of the way. I don't know why he didn't shout, hammer on the door, anything, but if he did, I didn't hear him. He must have just sat down on the bench, passed out and slowly died.
The funeral was awful. Jase's Mum and Dad were in bits - his Dad kept saying that thing about it not being right, burying your own, and Noddy, well… she was inconsolable. Sid took her out of the chapel, he almost had to carry her. I was sat next to Jase's Mum and she was squeezing my hand, clinging on as if her own life depended on it. They played "The Lord is My Shepherd" and I remember thinking that the Lord had abandoned quite a few of his flock in this case. I heard people say I was coping well, keeping things together, but in truth there wasn't much to keep together. I liked Jase, he was a good laugh, but I wasn't in love with him. He wasn't, as my friend Shona would have put it, "a keeper". I was supposed to be the heart-broken girlfriend but my feelings were nowhere near that. I was thinking of ending things that weekend he died; he just beat me to it.
After the funeral, Anita, that's Jase's Mum, started coming round. The first time she wanted to see the bench, so I took her out in the back. The bench was still all covered with Ice. I thought I'd give her a few minutes to herself and went indoors to put the kettle on. When I went back outside she was sitting out there, on the ice, rocking back and to and muttering something under her breath. I got her back indoors and her jeans were all wet, but she hadn't even noticed. She's never blamed me, never questioned why I didn't let him in, why I didn't hear him. She asked would it be OK if they planted a tree out in the back, in Jase's memory. I said I thought it was a lovely idea but I couldn't very well say anything else. We sat out there, in March, on the bench, whilst Jase's Dad dug this huge bloody hole and then shoved this tree in it. His Dad didn't say a word to me; just kept looking at the distance between the bench and my bedroom window. I'd been thinking of replacing the lawn with a bit of hard standing, so as I could get the car parked off the road, but that's a non- starter now. Whenever she comes round, Anita goes and checks the tree. She says it's put six inches on already. And every time she asks me how I'm doing, and I say "OK, I'm getting there". Truth to tell, I'm fine.
Sid and Noddy, they're the ones who've really found it hard. They were so close. All three of them from the same street and the same school. Noddy had lived next door to Jase for years. She would refuse to play with the girls in the street, instead she hung round with Sid and Jase, played football, went fishing, biked everywhere with them. In the end, I think they forgot she was a girl. She dressed like them, drank like them, swore like them. For a while, after he died, they'd invite me to join them when they were going down to The Queen's, but we'd got no common ground. They had years of history with him. I'd had, what, eleven weeks. Eleven weeks and two days, from first date to death? We hardly knew each other. I bet that makes me sound hard, callous even, but look what's happened. I'm saddled with the role of grieving widow of someone I was about to dump. I can't just come out with it. What would it make me if I said that Jase was just a pissed up idiot who should have known better. Yeah, I know, callous.
Jase's birthday was in May. Sid phoned me,
'Nat, we're going to have a do at The Queen's Saturday night; sort of a memorial fundraiser for Jase. Will you come, bring some people?'
Again, I'm saddled.
'Sure Sid, what time?'
'Eight-ish…Brian's doing some sandwiches, pies and stuff. We thought we'd have a collection.'
'Great. Good Idea. What are you collecting for?'
'Thought we'd get a bench, put a little plaque on it….'
'Sid, that's sick'
'I'm sorry, meant to be joke, wasn't funny…sorry.'
It was a good night in the end. Anita and Jase's Dad came down as well, plus quite a lot of people from the tyre place where Jase worked. Anita suggested they should collect for the Guide Dogs as Jase had once done a parachute jump to raise money for them. I never knew that, but then again, I didn't know much about him at all.
I'd been back home in bed for a while when the commotion started. It sounded like everyone who'd been in the pub was in my garden, singing, shouting and shushing each other as only drunks do. I looked out of the window, eight feet below me, Sid's bald spot shining in the moonlight, Noddy, Duffers and Chris, all crammed onto the bench.
'What are you doing? Shut up for heaven's sake. You'll wake next doors'
Too late, next doors lights were on, their dog yapping. 'Go on, piss off home'
Sid stands up, turns round and looks up at me. He's swaying a bit.
'Why, if it isn't the fair, Natalie' he starts in a theatrical fashion, 'Come on down girl, join us, we're having a memorial sit.'
Chris sets off giggling, muttering about "memorial shit", and Noddy's singing, a surprisingly feminine voice belting out that James Blunt song. I got rid of them eventually, after they'd woken half the street up. They disappeared into the night with Noddy yelling about me being a "hard faced bitch" who never even loved him. Trouble is, she wasn't wrong.
A few days later there was a knock at the door. It was Sid. He'd got a carrier bag in one hand and a packet of Hob-nobs in the other.
'Something I need to do, out back. It's alright isn't it?'
He'd already gone through and out the back door leaving the Hob-nobs by the kettle. I filled it and switched it on before going to see what he was up to. He'd got a tin of wood-stain out and a brush. He'd put newspaper down under the legs of the bench and had started painting.
'You don't hang about do you? What if I don't want my bench doing up?'
'It need's doing, Nat, it's just going to rot otherwise'
'It can for all I care. I'm beginning to hate the sight of the bloody thing.' I turned back into the house slamming the kitchen door behind me. I paced up and down in the front room for a bit and then put the telly on. Sid never got his brew; I didn't hear him leave.
It was a few weeks before I saw him again. He'd got Noddy with him, who'd got something she wanted to say to me.
'I'm sorry for what I said about you Natalie, I was rat-arsed.'
'It's OK, best forgotten eh?'
'Yeah, but… we want another favour.'
I'm thinking "Oh God what now" when Sid says,
'Best just show her Noddy,'
Noddy reaches inside her jacket and pulls out something rolled in an old tea-towel. It's a small, oval plaque of cast bronze. A scroll of oak leaves surrounds Jase's name and the dates of his birth and death. It's beautiful. On the back they've all scratched their names; Chris, Duffers, Noddy and Mark.
'Mark? '
'Mark Sydney.' Noddy gestured towards to Sid with a sideways flick of her head.
'Noddy made it. It's good isn't it?'
'It's lovely, it really is'
'We've left space.'
I'm looking blank.
'For you to put your name on'
'But this isn't from me, it's from you lot. His mates'
But Noddy's handed me some sort of tool, she's not taking no for an answer. So I scratch "Nat" on the back and add a "x" for good measure. I make tea and watch from the window as Sid fixes the plaque onto the bench, Noddy watching him with tears in her eyes.
Later that night, much later, they're all back again. It starts quietly enough, but I can hear them, under my window, chatting, laughing and talking about things they got up to with Jase. Then Chris gets to giggling and can't stop and someone lets out a huge snort of laughter. I give up trying to ignore them and switch on the lights.
'I'm trying to sleep. Piss off home you lot, some of us have got to get up in a few hours'
But Chris can't stop it, and we end up having another shouting match, waking next doors and their bleeding yappy dog.
The next day I call round at Sid's on my way home from work. He's lying on the sofa looking worse for wear.
'If you've come to give me a bollocking, don't worry, I'll accept it. I wouldn't like us lot waking me up either…' He gets up and heads into the kitchen. The flat is tiny, he makes it in two strides. 'Will you have a coffee, or there's a beer if you'd rather'
'Coffee, please…no, actually a beer would be good, I've had a shitter of a day"
He hands me an open bottle and then asks if I want a glass, but I've already drained a big mouthful. I drop my shoulder bag onto the floor, and push it out of the way with my foot.
'I bet you all think I'm the most miserable cow on the planet?'
'I bet you think we're a load of pissed up arseholes'
'Fair enough. So now we know where we all stand'
We both take another mouthful of beer. The atmosphere is so thick you could cut it. But then Sid moves over to the bookcase, pulls out a photograph album. It's dusty, and he wipe's his hands on his jeans. He opens the album.
'Will you have look, Natalie, please?'
The sun is behind him, shining through the thinning red cropped hair on his scalp, but I see the expression in his eye's nevertheless. He looks lost, bewildered, as if he can't quite handle the situation he's in. I take the album from him.
There are photographs of family members, a springer spaniel, a vintage motorbike, a caravan, and then they start; two young boys on bikes, one with a shock of ginger hair, the other with those beautiful nut brown eyes. Three figures on a wall, arms thrown round each other, grinning into the camera, Sid, Jase and Noddy. They look about seven, eight maybe, grubby faced, in matching United shirts. There's scores of pictures, mostly the three of them together; a few later ones have Chris or Duffers as well. There's one of Jase kitted out for his parachute Jump, his Mum and Dad either side wearing Guide Dog T Shirts. And then they stop, suddenly, there's just blank silver pages.
'That's the trouble with the digital cameras, you never print the pictures. We'll miss that, in years to come. Here let me show you my favourite…'
It's a picture I didn't pick up on, first time round. Jase and Noddy together, it's a party, you can make out 21st birthday banners in the background. Nothing special about the picture, two faces, a bit over-exposed by the flash, smiling, drinks in hand. I look at Sid for an explanation of what makes this so special. He understands instantly.
'My two best mates in the world. They look so happy together, made for each other, but. the daft bastard was too stupid to see it.'
I look up at Sid and realise he's got tears in his eyes. He's embarrassed, and sniffs loudly, wiping his nose with a thumb and forefinger. For a minute he turns and stares out of the window. Then he looks back at me.
'I'm sorry Natalie, we won't come round again, not like that. It's not fair on you'.
I don't know what else to say. I feel as though some great gesture is required, something that will sort everything out; instead I drain the last of the lager. Stand up, retrieve my bag, and let myself out, without saying goodbye.
The following Saturday is bright and sunny. For once I've got the whole weekend off. I'm enjoying that feeling of there being nothing I have to do, and a whole world of possibilities of what I could do. I'm busy making plans when a white van parks opposite and Chris and Sid climb out and open the back doors. I meet them on the threshold.
'I thought you weren't coming round again?'
'Charming,' says Chris, 'when we've come to do you a favour.'
'We've come for the bench. We've had a word with Brian at The Queens, and we're going to put it in the beer garden. No more late night sing songs on Patio Natalie'. That's what you wanted isn't it.' Says Sid.
'Well, yes.'
'So what's your problem then?' Chris asks and he walks to the back of the van.. 'Sid, am I on my own here, or what?'
And Sid goes over to the van and they pull out a bench. A brand new one, on which no-one sat down and died, a bench without history. They carry it round the back, place it under the window, declare that it looks grand and then one at either end pick up Jase's bench and carry it away. I only remember to say thanks as the van pulls away from the kerb. Chris gives me a bit of a wave, a slight nod of the head, but Sid just looks straight out through the windscreen, I don't think he heard me. I make a coffee, take it outside and drink it sitting on the new bench. It feels like something is over. Finally over and if I squint just a bit I realise I can't even see Anita's tree.
The winter just gone was mostly mild, apart from a light snowfall just before Christmas, which left a messy icy crust behind it. Most nights I slept with the window open a crack, and I'd listen to the sounds of the city slowing down as I drifted off. There was the odd courting cat, the slamming of car doors, the occasional rattle of a black cab's engine. And sometimes, just sometimes, the over-loud voices of drunks on their way home.
And then one night, when the wind picked up and started whipping the curtains about I got up to pull the window to, and saw there was someone out there on the bench, sitting quietly, holding a mobile, its screen bright against the darkness. Just then my phone rang, I reached for it and saw that it was Sid calling. I pressed to answer and stepped back away from the window.
'Sid, what is it?'
'it's you Natalie…'
Silence, he's hung up. The figure on the bench gets up and heads for the back gate.
I ring him back. He stops at the gate and turns back, I see him lifting the phone back to his ear.
'What Sid?'
'Oh shit…Nat, It's you, It's you I miss, it's not Jase, It's you…'
I end the call. He's turned away again. I grab the handle on the window and shove it open, sticking my head into the gap,
'SID…' I yell, bugger the neighbours...
'I'll call you…I'll call you…'
And he nods, and smiles and then lets himself quietly out of the gate. I watch him go, and then I pull the window shut, close the curtains and slip back into bed. I lie there for a while, wide awake now and finally I give up trying to sleep, and I reach for the phone to make that call.

Microsoft tries to make Windows 7 easier to open
Microsoft is trying to make Windows 7 easier than Windows Vista on many levels--right down to the box it comes in.
One of the many criticisms of Windows Vista was the incredibly complex packaging that Microsoft used for both Vista and Office 2007. In an effort to prevent theft and piracy, Microsoft created boxes that required their own set of instructions to open.
In a blog posting on Wednesday, Microsoft said it will use a package that is shaped similarly to the Vista one. However, the box will open more like a standard DVD case.
The case, which will be … Read more

Learning and Teaching about AIDS at School (UNAIDS, 1997, 8 p.) |
Despite the evident desirability of providing AIDS education to students, there are various obstacles standing in the way, including the following.
The subject is considered too controversial
In many societies, the adults responsible for children or their school education are often uneasy about teaching children about AIDS and sexual risk behaviour. They may feel that this encourages young people to experiment prematurely - even though several studies have shown that sex and HIV/AIDS education do not lead to increased sexual activity (see Impact of HIV and sexual health education on the sexual behaviour of young people, 1997). Policy-makers, teachers and parents with such views can object to the introduction of school HIV-prevention programmes, on the grounds that the topic is too sensitive for children or controversial for society.
Overcrowded curriculum
It is often difficult to find a slot for AIDS education in an already full and overcrowded school curriculum, especially when there are many issues competing for space. In theory, health education, which could embrace AIDS education, is supposed to be taught in schools, but in practice it is often neglected.
Incomplete coverage
Many schools do not have AIDS education. The reasons vary. The country may have no policies on AIDS education, or a particular policy specifically against AIDS education - or policies in favour of AIDS education that are vague or not properly enforced. In some cases policy-making on education is decentralized, so that education authorities in some districts include AIDS education in their curricula while others do not.
AIDS education - where it exists at all - is usually taught only in secondary schools. However, with high drop-out rates in many schools, children - and particularly girls - frequently have left school before secondary school age, with the result that they do not get school AIDS education.
Information is taught, but not skills
HIV education may be provided in schools, but it may deal only with medical and biological facts, and not with the real-life situations that young people find themselves in. Only if life skills are taught, and matters such as relationships, sexuality and the risks of drug use discussed, will young people be able to handle situations where they might be at risk of HIV infection.
Poor quality of curriculum
This could be for several reasons, including:
· important areas of AIDS education, such as non- discrimination and support, are omitted· learning materials may be inadequate - for example, they stress biomedical information instead of social skills and means of prevention, or they are not age-specific, or else bear little resemblance to everyday life
· materials for teachers may not exist
· teachers may not be properly trained to organize classroom activities on sensitive issues
· only one option in terms of sexual behaviour (for example, that of abstinence) is offered, regardless of the age of the students
· the objectives of the course are not clearly identified, or refer only to knowledge, attitudes and values - not to behaviour
· there is no provision for assessing how well students have learnt
· AIDS education is not meaning- fully integrated into the curriculum and its links with other health and social issues are not brought out
· no education is provided on referral services, such as further information and skills training, counselling, and youth-friendly STD services.

I should have added to my earlier post - and we know which channel we'll be running down/through when we play Sale.
Traditionally the Sale 10 is a kicking machine.
Quote:Magners Wasp
Odd desicion for me.... hes a running fly half so joins the team with the narrowest pitch, worst pitch under foot and 2nd worst weather in the league...... not ideal.
Traditionally the Sale 10 is a kicking machine.
Hodgson was indeed a kicking machine for sale, but certainly not at the expense of his creative spark. He and Kinga were head-to-head the two best flyhalves to watch in england across nearly a decade between 2000-08.
Traditionaly sale have always actually been an incredibly creative, running rugby team. Think back to the days even before hodgson when the likes of Jim Mallinder, david rees & Jos Baxendall used to be amongst my favourite to watch. Then were the years of redpath, hodgson, graeme bond, hanley & cueto. Then Peel, hodgson, McAllister, Robinson, Foden...
It's only really the last 2 or 3 seasons since the big post PSD exodus that Sale have regressed into a much less free-flowing, scrappy style and I'd say as much as anything it's because they have simply lacked the quality of playes to do anything else.
But start to combine cips with tuitopu who is still a natural gamebreaker, and young exciting talents like rob miller, tommy bell, tom brady & iain thornley and you have the makings of an exciting back line. Add Richie Gray to a pack with guys like Seymour, gaskell, Myall, Henry Thomas - and you have quite an exciting pack too.
Tey'll need 3 or 4 more signings in the mould of Gray & Cips but if they secure those too there's no reason sale can't get back to playing their old swashbuckling style again.

Amarok supports storage on external data storage units
As of yesterday, the Nightly Builds from Amarok now support storage maintenance on USB data storage units. This feature is to be found in Amarok 2.2.
Although music files could already be played over Amarok, the KDE Jukebox was not capable of integrating the tracks in the same library of files. With Version 2.2, that is not the case, as Alejandro Wainzinger reports in his blog. A first version with the USB mass storage support is included in the daily-updated developer version. However, it doesn't function flawlessly in every regard just yet, so the capability to read data libraries onto USB has been frozen by Amarok for the time being.
Those who would like to take their chances with the new Amarok version, must download the current developer version and install the file .is_audio_player onto the USB medium. USB devices without this specific file will ignore the KDE music player. If you want to configure the entire music file as well, you have to also type in the line:
The entry musicfolder also needs to be replaced by the name of the music directory on the USB. The current version doesn't support any playlists just yet, nor cover art. The Linux version from Amarok is also the only one supported at this time. Windows users will have to wait.

The 2.2 Ghz cpus have just been released. This generation of cpu is built at 0.13 microns and has twice as big of a L2 cache (512 KB). These are the single processor versions. The Xeon (smp) chips should follow shortly (I am guessing). Go look at the roadmaps at www.theregister.co.uk. They tend to be accurate. I have not heard that there is a problem with the 2.0 Ghz. Is it a problem with RedHat or the Linux kernel specifically? We had no problems with the 1.7 Ghz Xeon chips, but they are not the 2.0 Ghz that you are talking about.

We were looking for a simple yet interesting desk for my 18 year old son's bedroom and thought this would be perfect. It was easy to assemble and is a real conversation piece. He has received many compliments from his friends and loves that it does not take up a lot of space in his bedroom. We are very pleased with this purchase.
Unpacked and hung two of these last night for a kids' playroom, so they can play their Minecraft crap and leave my computer alone. The desks are pressboard central, which I expected from the price. I didn't get solid wood desks because I didn't want to pay for solid wood, so I'm not dinging the product for material choice. The desks are not difficult to assemble and don't take long. Directions are crap though. They reference a board designation like "D2" but there are no stickers on the board to let you know which one is D2. Pics are just OK. You'll have to kind of fumble your way through assembly. Once hung, they look nice. The wall brackets are sturdy metal, so as long as you hit studs, the desk isn't coming down unless someone sits on it. Overall I'm happy thus far. Time will tell if the veneer can hold up to pre-teen usage or if the fasteners start to loosen.
This is the perfect piece for the space I have, and it looks great. There is sufficient space between the back of the desk and the wall for cables and wires. The sturdiness of the desk is adequate for my uses; I have a large all-in-one printer on it that takes up most of the writing space.
Great space saver for a small room. Also a different idea and a talking point.
Purchased this to hang in the bathroom as a make-up counter for my wife. Mounted it at counter height so that she can use a stool with it. She is pleased. Looks good with the white cabinetry in the bathroom. Assembly took about 30 minutes and mounting was simple. Sturdy product.
Very easy to assemble. 15 yr old son did it by himself
My girls love this desk! So many shelves to put stuff and such a neat design. Easy to put together and very sturdy. There was a dent in the desk top when it arrived, but one call to Prepac and we had a new replacement top in a week. Great value!
We just put the desk together this past weekend. It was for my 5 year old grandson. He is very happy with it. It went together fairly easily and hung fairly easily after finding the studs in the wall. It is a 2-person job so one person can hold while the other screws it into the wall. My grandson immediately started filling the little nooks and shelves (like his Mommy would do). My daughter picked it out because it hangs and doesn't take up floor space. Supplies, etc. can be put underneath (or not). It is also something that will be appropriate when my grandson is in high school, as well a now when he is in kindergarten.
We purchased the white desk for our 14 yr old daughter's room -all her friends think that it is 'so cool'. The fact that it hangs on the wall and takes up no 'floor space' is perfect for a small room. It was not difficult to put together - the directions were very clear - it just requires patience and attention to detail, like all assembly projects do. It is very sturdy.
This desk is very attractive, everyone that has seen it really likes it and want one. It is larger than it looks.

So I have some vacations coming up and already have some quads and a hex I figured I needed a fixed wing to round out my aerial camera fleet. (for now) heh. So I took the plunge and picked myself up an X8 to fill up with electronics.
I'm running an ArduPilot Purple, with a Castle 75 esc waiting for Hobbyking to drop of my new Scorpion motor until then I have a 700W max 50Amp local hobby store motor to power the bird. I'm running 1.2 video feeding through MinimOSD with a Sony 720 line mini cam. I have a roll and tilt GoPro mount in the works that I'll post up some pics when I can get some play time on the router this weekend. Communication is done through a Futaba 10C 72Mhz and some 900Mhz XBees.
I've only made a few mods for now like adding a second motor mount plate that bolt through the foam to the outer plate.
I made some electronics trays and filled in the lower camera cut out with some foam and Gorilla glue.
I ended up bringing the control linkage up through the wing, leaving it on the bottom seemed like a bad idea for a belly lander. I have never flown a or built a fixed wing, but I said the same about the multirotors and DIYDrone's gear and community made it simple, awesome and enjoyable. Only crashes were ah-hem user error. So I'm hoping for the same luck with this bird. I do have tons of hours now on RealFlight sim just to make sure I feel comfortable with the controls. That being said any input from from you guys will be greatly appreciated. I'll update this blog as things progress and as I get the camera mount going. But for now heres some more eye candy. Be happy and safe all!
looking good
I just read that the X8 has a valid payload between 1000-2000 g. Whow!
What's the flight time of such a big bird ?
Wow, that's a really nice setup you're doing there, and some top notch equipment. Nice radio. The 10C is a great choice because it is a nice Futaba transmitter, good feel and great quality, but it still uses "modules" so you can switch between 72MHz and 2.4GHz as required.
Does the 10C 72MHz have any failsafe function though? You might want to look into the FrSky 2.4GHz modules.
Also, the Turnigy Nanotech battery packs are probably overkill. I'd have just used some cheap 20C packs, it's more than enough. I have a bunch of them and they are possibly more durable (long term performance) than the Nanotechs. It's just sort of hearsay at the moment, but it might be true.
Lastly, you should replace the screws you have holding down the APM2 with nylon ones, just to eliminate the possibility of mag interference.
What Scorpion motor are you going to add. You have inspired me to start on my X8.
Wowow that is beautiful.
You said youre taking the X8 on vacation with you, how are you planning to transport it? I was thinking of getting one of these because of the removeable wings.
did u put any antivibe in the mtr mount im working on mine now got 3020 890kv 4s they are geting 1 hour with 2 5000 batt.very nice
I have pretty much the same setup as you, have you flown yours yet?
This is really the perfect APM platform, it flies so well and easy.
However, I'm having a real battle with the PID tuning on this beast. Its so sensitive, getting the Servo and Nav tuning is turning into a bit of a nightmare. Do you have a working param file for the bird yet? Or does anyone have one they could share. Even just a screenshot of the PID settings would be good.

Jayson Pahlmeyer has been producing highly sought-after wines since 1986. It began with Jayson's dream to make world-class Bordeaux-style wine from Napa Valley. Pahlmeyer's estate vineyard - Waters Rance - is situated at 2100 feet in the Atlas Peak appellation of Napa Valley. It is the key source for their Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Chardonnay. Jayson's passion eventually led him to the Sonoma Coast, where less than seven miles and two ridges from the Pacific Ocean, he planted Wayfarer Farm, their key source for Pinot Noir.
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
Bordeaux Blends The Fab Five With so much history under its belt, it's no wonder that Bordeaux has figured out the recipe to produce amazing wines. Centuries of making (and drinking) wine led to the blend that has become synonomous with Bordeaux. Winemakers in the New World replicate this formula to create successful blends in their respective regions - you may see Bordeaux blends...Read More About Bordeaux Red Blends

We are beginning a series of new trials that will test augmentations of the program as it is being replicated in hundreds of communities across the nation.
One trial, funded by the William T. Grant Foundation, is designed to increase participant engagement in the program; and another will examine ways of helping nurses address maternal depression more effectively.
Another study, funded by the CDC and led by affiliated faculty member Dr. Harriet MacMillan, involves developing and testing an augmentation of the NFP to help nurses address intimate partner violence when they encounter it in the home.
We also are developing methods for NFP programs to use in strengthening nurses' abilities to address maternal depression and other mental illness; this work is led by Drs. Marshall Thomas and Jeannette Waxmonsky in the UCD Department of Psychiatry.
With a gift from John and Marcie Fox, Dr. Nancy Donelan-McCall is developing new methods for nurses to use in evaluating qualities of parent-child interaction in the home, and new methods for nurses to use in promoting parents' competent care of their babies.
