Blackeyed Theatre, in association with South Hill Park, will be presenting the comic play Teechers, by John Godber, at Derby's Guildhall Theatre on June 11-12.
Fast-moving, inventive and highly entertaining, Teechers is John Godber's brilliant take on life at a modern comprehensive school, looking at life for both the staff and pupils there.
Through their hilarious end-of-term play, three Year 11 students sketch the new drama teacher's progress through two terms of unruly classes, cynical colleagues and obstructive caretakers.
Disillusioned, he departs for the safe waters of a private school, and leaves behind his students, whose youthful irreverence gives way to despair.
Brought to the stage by highly acclaimed Blackeyed Theatre with high energy, break-neck comedy and breathtaking ensemble performances, Teechers is a modern classic with something vital to say about education for both the 'haves' and 'have nots'.
Director Adrian McDougall said: "I can promise audiences a brilliant evening's entertainment, lots of laughs as well as one or two genuinely touching moments."
He continued: "Young or old, I think audiences will recognise some if not all the characters in the play from their own school days."
Blackeyed Theatre, based in Berkshire, is a nationally-renowned producer of high-quality theatre.
Tickets to see the performances of Teechers at the Guildhall Theatre in Derby are priced at £14.25, concessions £12.25 and can be purchased at the Derby LIVE box office on 01332 255800 or alternatively by going online at www.derbylive.co.uk
The play is considered suitable for those aged 12 years and over.

How Sleep Problems Make Asthma Worse?
If you are already dealing with Asthma, it can get further worse if you have sleep-disrupting problems, such as sleep apnea and snoring. Read ahead, and you can find out the problems that may affect your Asthma adversely.
Asthma attacks may appear as deterrents in your daily chores, but they can also impose a threat for a basic necessity, which is an adequate amount of sleep. The research shows that there is a connection between Asthma and other sleep problems, including snoring.
Thus, to keep your asthma in check, you must pay attention on how to cure snoring. If you are yet not familiar with the facts how these two things can be interlinked, following are some reasons to prove it.
Increased Mucus:
While you are sleeping, your airways tend to narrow that causes an increase in the airflow resistance. This may activate coughing, which in turn can lead to more tightening of the airways. If there is an increase in the drainage from sinuses, it can also activate Asthma in the sensitive airways, which can impact Asthma condition badly. Thus, if you are snoring, it is a sign that your airway is too narrow and you should find an effective snoring cure to keep the problem at bay.
Reclining Position:
Sleeping in a reclining position can also incline you towards nighttime Asthma related problems. Many factors might be associated with this, like the build-up of secretion in the airways, decreased lung volumes, increased volume of blood in the lungs, and increased airway resistance.
A stuffy nose is said to be the reason behind various sleeping problems. Not just it affects your sleep but also causes breathing problems. It can make snoring as well as sleep apnea worse. On the top of that, it also aggravates the Asthma symptoms. Thus, to keep Asthma in check, it is highly necessary to cure snoring.
Sleep Apnea:
Sleep Apnea is one of the major sleep disorders, in which one stop breathing altogether for a certain period. And, due to this reason, the lungs fail to get enough air. It also causes an increase inflammation in the bronchial tubes, which in turn triggers the Asthma symptoms even more.
Internal Triggers:
Irrespective of the hours you are sleeping at, Asthma symptoms still get worse. If you have been working a night shift, you can still get Asthma attacks in the day while you are asleep. Asthma has nothing to do with the hour of the day. According to some researchers, there might be some of the internal triggers that affect Asthma related problems during sleep.
Not just these, but there are some of the other factors as well that play an important role in affecting your Asthma while you are asleep. For instance, if you are sleeping in an air-conditioned environment, it may cause heat loss from the airways. This loss can trigger Asthma as well.
Apart from these, you need to keep your sleeping disorders in check if you are dealing with Asthma and you don't want it to get worse. For that, you can start from adopting some snoring cures and leading a healthy lifestyle.

wall & colour
about | contact
Wall and Colour is an audio installation where perception is the object of the work. As with James Turrell's exploration of light and space, Wall and Colour places the viewers in a realm of pure experience where sound is perceptually tangible, and each experience of the work is unique to each individual. The installation celebrates the notion of being in a moment and suggests a sense of meditation and contemplation. It is a work on the verge of audibility and through each viewer's exploration, both a heightening of the senses and a quiet stillness is infused. Through this subtle installation, viewers make their own musical choices encouraged to be in touch with their physicality as they move through the space in an infinite number of paths, speed and angles.

Poonch : Addressing massive election rally in Poonch, border town in J&K, late last evening, Prof. Bhim Singh, Panthers Party candidate from Udhampur Parliamentary Constituency congratulated the great people of Poonch for maintaining communal harmony and social peace ever since Poonch was liberated from Pakistan with the help of the local people and J&K Rifles in 1948. Prof. Bhim Singh paid tributes to Shri Bandey (awarded Dogra Ratan Award), for having fought against Pak occupation for one year and throwing out the forces of the occupation.
Prof. Bhim Singh also congratulated the people of Poonch for resisting the intruders from across the Pakistani border who have been infiltrating to J&K via Poonch because of the laxity of J&K governments since 1965.
Prof. Bhim Singh accused the State and Central governments for their total failure to develop backward and border areas of Rajouri and Poonch. He questioned the sincerity of the Congress and NC towards the people of Rajouri and Poonch who have not been connected with rail in 63 years of independence whereas the government spent Rs.5000 crores to build a rail tunnel from Qazigund to Banihal when Banihal has not been connected with the rail line neither there is any hope for its completion under the Congress rule. He assured the people of Poonch that if they voted him to Parliament he shall fight it out to connect rail from Jammu to Poonch and ensure the ownership to the allottees of the land which was left by the owners in 1947 voluntarily. Prof. Bhim Singh assured the SPOs, contractual employees and daily wagers for regularization of their services in the respective disciplines.
Shri H.C. Jalmeria, Advocate, Panthers Party candidate from Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary Constituency made compassionate appeal for the voters to vote and support Panthers Party in the ongoing Parliamentary election because all the three parties Congress, NC and BJP failed utterly to respond to the aspirations and needs of the people.
Ms. Anita Thakur, General Secretary appealed to the voters particularly the women for the unprecedented sacrifices of the Panthers workers for the civil and political rights of the women who have been discriminated by the respective governments for decades. She said that Panthers Party alone which urges aspirations, wishes and the needs of the people of Jammu Pradesh who have been remained of their fundamental rights. Others who addressed the rallies in Mendhor, Rajouri and other places included M/s. Pushvinder Singh Manhas, Sr. Young Panthers Vice President, Asfaq Rana, Working District President, Poonch, Tariq Khan, Sr. Vice President, R.P. Sharma, Political Secretary-JKNPP, Ms. Asha Rani, Sr. Scholar in Jammu University & State Secretary, Women Wing-JKNPP.
Addressing a strong rally at Mendhor, 3kms. from LoC in Poonch District this morning Prof. Bhim Singh cautioned the electorates against the dangerous designs of the Congress, NC & BJP, he said that when Congress is mother of corruption, National Conference is mother of terrorism whereas BJP is the mother of communalism in J&K and that is why Panthers Party is the only alternative to the people of Jammu Pradesh in particular so that they shall feel liberated from Sheikh's family rule. Prof. Bhim Singh also said that his party shall take initiative from Delhi to Islamabad to promote Intra J&K Heart to Heart Talks between the people of J&K and POK so that the situation shall be resolved by the notables of J&K from both sides. He accused Anglo-American Bloc for encouraging terrorism in J&K with intention to destabilize India as the USA did with Yugoslavia, USSR, Afghanistan and several other Afro-Asian countries. He said that the policies of USA need to be checked by the Asian Bloc and that needs a healthy cooperation among SAARC countries with Russian Federation and China. He said that China, Russia and India should join hands against the impending terrorism planted by Anglo-American Bloc against the Afro-Asian countries.

CALGARY — The wife of a missing Calgary man whose boat was recovered off the coast of Florida says he may have been swept away while trying to rescue the family dog.
Michele Horne told CTV Calgary it's believed her husband, Fraser, dove in when the golden retriever named Toula fell into the water.
Fraser Horne, an avid boater, set sail on a trip on Friday and was reported missing after failing to return on Sunday.
His boat — running in neutral and with his wallet, keys and shoes onboard — was found near the Gulf Coast fishing village of Cortez a few hours later.
The dog was discovered by a Good Samaritan on a nearby island later that evening.
The U.S. coast guard launched an extensive search for the 64-year-old snowbird, but it failed to turn up anything and the coast guard has called off its efforts.
"We searched over 2,000 square miles for more than 46 hours to look for Mr. Horne and unfortunately we were unable to locate him," said petty officer Ashley Johnson.
The Hornes bought a place in Florida in 2015 to spend the winters.
"What is clear from the search patterns ... is that Toula, the retriever, fell into the water and that Fraser went to get her, to rescue her," Michele Horne told CTV from Florida.
"In rescuing her, there was a strong current that was shifting against him and the boat. From what the data shows, he probably was not able to go back to the boat."
What is clear from the search patterns ... is that Toula, the retriever, fell into the water and that Fraser went to get her, to rescue herMichele Horne
Michele Horne said Toula is a strong swimmer and was in the water for about two hours.
"The waters are fairly warm here, around 70 to 75 degrees, (but) she was shivering. She had been there for a while. They put blankets on her. The biggest issue she had was taking in a lot of salt water and exhaustion," she said.
"I can't believe that this dog did what she did, swim as hard as she did ... We don't have kids. We love our dogs. They're our kids and he (Fraser) would've done anything for her, so I am so happy she's back with us."
Toula is in good health and is back at home, Horne said.
I can't believe that this dog did what she did, swim as hard as she did ... We don't have kids. We love our dogs.Michele Horne
"She's on antibiotics. She's good. We had her on two, 30-minute walks today. She's eating. She's drinking.
"There's something she knows and we wish dogs could talk."
Michele's sister, Lisa, flew down to Florida from Edmonton when she heard the news.
"We are hoping we will find Fraser," she said. "We haven't really made plans of what we're going to do. The plan initially was that we'd like to stay here until he's found and we can bring him home."
Conservation officers and the county sheriff's office will continue to search daily.

One of my favourite colours is red. I love the way even a splash of red can bring an outfit to life. If any designer has made red his trademark, it's Valentino.
Image courtesy of www.mylusciouslife.com
Entering the international fashion scene in 1962, Valentino soon established himself as one of the major players in the fashion industry, his distinct designs dressing some of the most stylish women in history. Retiring in 2008, Valentino may be no longer be designing, but he will not be forgotten.
Learn more about Valentino in the feature-length documentary film titled Valentino: The Last Emperor which premiered at the 2008 Venice International Film Festival.

These are the tips you have been looking for if you are interested in dressing better. Even if you are on a budget, you can look your best.
When it comes to spending money on fashion, focus on all of the basic looks. Buy pieces that look great and won't ever be out of style. Buy quality pants, skirts, blouses and jackets in solid colors like black, creme and beige that can be mixed and matched with more trendy things easily.
Dress up black jeans with a fancy shirt or some heels for a classic evening look. Colored jeans don't work for a more formal look, however.
A great looking purse can complement your outfit, but make sure it goes with whatever other bag you are carrying. This means you should have a matched set of a briefcase and purse if you carry them both at the same time. Avoid carrying more than two bags at any time.
Don't carry a ton of makeup inside your makeup bag. Only choose the products that are in the colors that go well with your skin. Make certain to have colors for night and day wear. Once you open makeup, it can spoil, so you will want to store it at home. Germs can also congregate in opened products.
Remember that fashion is fluid, and keep your eyes open for new trends. Styles change often, so stay up to date by looking at fashion magazine regularly. They generally stay abreast of the latest news.
If you put on mascara, do not continually put the brush inside and outside of the container. This will only add oxygen to your bottle, which can hurt your brush. This inreases bacteria within your mascara. If you want to make certain your brush is coated, move it a bit within the container.
There are nearly unlimited options available for hair accessories. You can purchase something to hold your hair back, pretty bows that will ramp up the effect of any outfit and more. Your wardrobe ought to have a lot of these items. For instance, to appear athletic, try wearing an athletic suit with a ponytail holder that matches. So before you go out, make sure you're carrying a few accessories with you.
For a skinnier yet fashionable look, disguise those extra pounds with a black blouse worn over dark pants or a dark skirt. Dark colors help hide the excess weight you are carrying and help you look thinner. An elastic waistband will offer a lot of comfort.
If you have frizzy hair, avoid rubbing it to dry with a towel. This causes damage to your hair, making it more likely to frizz. You are just going to want to cover it with a towel and push down to get moisture off. When you are happy, brush and comb your hair.
If you carry a few extra pounds, then avoid wearing clothes with horizontal stripes. These stripes put greater emphasis on your width, which will cause you to appear even wider than you really are. Instead, pick a pattern that is linear or vertical which can make you look thinner.
Be very careful about how you're treating your mascara brush. Don't simply thrust it through the bottle opening when in use. This will only add oxygen to your bottle, which can hurt your brush. This practice promotes the growth of bacteria. You can coat your brush by turning it gently into the container.
Pay attention to sizes. Never purchase an item of clothing without seeing how you look in it. Size isn't based on standard measurements any longer. The difference can vary widely from one brand to the next. If you buy clothes online, use their size chart. Also check on the website's return policy just in case the clothes don't fit the way you want them to.
You should not worry about your sense of fashion being perfect. There is no perfect sense of fashion, just opinions. This is why you don't need to worry about being perfect when it comes to fashion, because what is perfect to one person isn't to another. Some of the greatest fashion ideas come from people that have flaws with their look.
Avoid fashion trends solely based on popularity. Something that looks great on a model may look ridiculous on your frame. Pick a style that matches what you are going for. You must trust your instincts regarding fashion. They will not give you bad advice.
Plus-sized women can give the illusion of being smaller by avoiding large floral patterns. These shapes emphasize your large figure, which you will want to steer clear of. Wearing clothing with smaller flower shapes will take the focus away from your size and make you appear thinner.
Check to see if your favorite fashion site offers a newsletter, and sign up for it. In so doing, you are sure to keep up to date on current trends and surprise your friends with your fashion savvy.
If your fashion budget is on the small side, don't be ashamed to let your friends know. If your friends have fashionable items you like, tell them you'll be happy to have it when they don't want it any more. You could save a fortune on fashion this way.
Some basic items belong in every woman's closet. Black tailored pants, one pair of designer jeans and a pair of black heels are some items which one must include. A little, classic black dress is also essential.
Your undergarments are the start of your fashionable appearance. A bra which fits properly ensures your body shape looks its best. Underwear is meant to give you support and create a smooth fit. Choose a slimming undergarment if you want to hide some of the weight problems that you have.
Fashionable clothes may be a "must", but you also want to be aware of how best to match shoes to your clothing. In most cases, you simply need to ensure that your belt has the same hue as your shoes. You can look quite fashionable with this simple and classic look.
A little quirkiness does not hurt when it comes to fashion. Keep your hair looking a little mussed, don't button shirts all the way to the top, or wear shoes that don't match exactly. As a matter of fact, perfect is never what you should be aiming for. You should be going for personal. Always make your fashion personal to you and for you, not for anyone else. Please only yourself and don't worry about the peanut gallery.
All great fashion looks start with a solid foundation. Choose a quality bra that provides support and matches your style. Underwear is meant to give you support and create a smooth fit. You can hide many problem areas by choosing undergarments that are advertised as slimming.
Jackets often have some stitches that are looser than others. Any loose threading needs to be removed. You can remove these loose threads by cutting them with a pair of scissors. This will make you look more well kept.
Drink more water to help keep your cuticles and your nails healthy. You can hurt your body by staying dehydrated. This is especially important in the winter when the air is very cold and dry. Use shea butter on your cuticles and nails once or twice daily. Cotton gloves over your moisturized hands while you sleep is another good option.
Fashion has lots of rules, but don't let this deter you from experimentation. Things might not look good until you actually test them out. It is great to figure out how to create a whole new style or outfit by mixing and matching. You can create a unique look by wearing unique pieces.
When you purchase a new coat or jacket, check the vent and arm areas to ensure that they aren't tacked with loose stitches. These threads have to be removed, as they aren't fashionable. A sharp pair of scissors will do the best job. This is a simple way to improve your style.
Consider hiring a fashion consultant to shop with you from time to time. If you possess family and career, you probably don't have a lot of time to think about trends in fashion. When you're busy, hire someone who can assist you in making great shopping decisions so that you are ensured to always look great.
Fashion has lots of rules, but don't let this deter you from experimentation. You cannot know if a look is right for you if you have not tried it. You can try out new combinations by mixing colors and materials. You may unintentionally nail the perfect look, and playing around is the best way to develop your own personal style.
Floral patterns, to the surprise of many, have been gaining popularity recently. Do not be shy to wear a floral dress, shirt and even pants. Just be careful about accessorizing floral prints with other patterns; if you wear an especially bold or large floral print, choose shoes or other accessories with tiny patterns or go with solid colors.
The upcoming trend is for quilted fabrics. You can find all types of clothing made from this fabric. Be careful; quilted looks should be loose but you are going to look bigger than you actually are.
If you are concerned about the expense related to upgrading your wardrobe, sell off your old clothing. You can even sell old items online these days, so consider that as a place to get rid of your old clothes. There are quite a few stores that will let you trade in old clothes for money or other clothes in stock.
One of the trends in recent years has been the return of patterns in women's clothing. Floral patterns are especially popular. Do not be shy to wear a floral dress, shirt and even pants. But remember to wear patterned accessories also with this style choice.
You could go to a color consultant if you are not sure which colors look good on you. It all depends on what kind of skin tone you have as well as eyes and hair which determine how the colors appear to people. Knowing which colors are truly "yours" will help you select the most dazzling fashions.
Clothing Items
Use some solid colors to structure your outfit. Prints and patterns on tops can be showcased by wearing solid colors on the bottom. Research shows that wearing a pair of dark pants and a bright top can help people take you more seriously.
Take your fashion level up by trading or selling clothing items that you are tired of wearing. There are many places to go when selling your clothing items such as an online auction or perhaps something local likes a consignment shop. Some shops pay you for old clothing or allow you to trade those items for store merchandise.
If you want to make your lips look fuller, you don't have to resort to cosmetic surgery. Stick with a lip gloss or light colored lipstick. This will cause lips to look full. Dark lipsticks will add a thinner look to your lips, so try not to wear them.
If you want to make your lips look fuller, you don't have to resort to cosmetic surgery. Use a light colored lipstick or lip gloss with a shiny finish. When the light reflects off your lips, they look fuller. Dark lipstick can make your lips appear thinner.
Use the *0/20 rule with your wardrobe: 80% of your clothes should be classic styling and 20% should feel trendy and cutting edge. Classic things will last you a while and you can change the look by accessorizing. If you want to wear some black pants, choose a colorful belt to go with them. Likewise, a trendy colored scarf can add modern style to a classic shirt or blouse.
Pay a visit to the thrift store in your town to find deals on clothing. This will help you if you seek bargains and/or you want to try a vintage look. Although there are some bad clothing items there, there are also a few clothing diamonds hidden in the rough. You never know what you're going to find, but it will no doubt be a bargain.
Always remember that accessories are important. No matter what type of outfit you're wearing, the right accessories can definitely add to it. Shoes, belts, jewelry, handbags and scarfs can all be used to change the look of an outfit. When dressing, choose accessories which complement you outfit.
As you know now, you don't need tons of money to develop your new fashion sense. When you work at this hard enough, you can change the way you look so that you feel great and look the same way for a while.
There are a lot of magazines that you can subscribe to that can keep you up-to-date with the latest there is to know about fashion. Fashion magazines can give you some great ideas.

Alex Mayle is a 20-year-old adult outside the FAYZ barrier. He appears in Light, trying to scale the barrier. Gaia and Diana are passing by inside the barrier, when Gaia decides to force Little Pete to open the barrier for a second in order to let him inside the barrier, so that she could use Alex as a food source since her body is growing at an accelerated rate.
When he first fell into the FAYZ, he seemed very upbeat, very outgoing, and did not expect to get hurt. After Gaia ripped his arm off, he eventually fell into a craze and started to worship Gaia, calling her a "goddess", and this continued until his death was caused by her.
- Light
He snatched a ladder to get a closer look at the barrier. While he is filming he falls inside the transparent barrier (Gaia forces Little Pete to make the barrier temporarily give way). Gaia tears off Alex's arm and devours it. Gaia then drags Alex around with her and he slowly begins to go crazy. He later finds Drake Merwin's head and retrieves it for Gaia. Gaia then finds she has more use for Drake than Alex and slices off Alex's head and puts Drake's head on top, using her healing powers to make a "transplanted" body for Drake. Gaia then eats part of Alex's head and throws his skull into a ditch. Later, Gaia heals the ripped arm for Drake, recreating his whip arm.

Intel Desktop DX79SI Motherboard Pictured
Ryan Martin / 7 years ago
Intel have been planning their own motherboards for the new socket LGA 2011 platform for a while now and since the new LGA 2011 processors (Sandy Bridge-E) are due out later this year the first samples of motherboards are starting to come out. Intel's DX79SI motherboard is the board under scrutiny today and unlike past Intel branded motherboards it is actually stylish and rather good looking. Labelled under the "Extreme Series" of motherboards it has support for a single LGA 2011 processor with support for two lots of quad channel memory: 8 DIMM slots, meaning you can get 100% more memory bandwidth over dual channel memory. The board fits the standard ATX specifications thanks to some clever design placement. You also get three PCI-E 3.0 slots with electrical configurations 16X/16X/8X, a PCI-E 3.0 1X slot and a legacy PCI slot. Connectivity is a bit on the disappointing side since the current Patsburg-A variant of the X79 chipset lacks proper SATA functionality so you only get two SATA II and two SATA III ports and no e-SATA. No words on pricing or the date of availability just yet.
The rear-IO is rather plain since the motherboard has no need for graphic outputs as LGA 2011 has no onboard video support. The rear IO consists of:
- Dual Ethernet (one Intel and the other Realtek)
- 8 Channel Audio
- Two USB 3.0
- Six USB 2.0
- Firewire
- Clear CMOS

text: Technical Article iPhone for your ... club cards? Updated 14-May-2008•Originally posted on 14-May-2008 by Colin Walker 3822 article apm application delivery dev development devops iphone irules mobile security service provider us We all knew it was inevitable. The iPhone was always bound for use by geeks and gadgeteers world-wide. That's no surprise. The iPhone continues to be used in new and interesting ways every day. The buzz has died down, but the geeks of the world haven't forgotten the craze and continue to find ways to use/promote/brag about this cool gadget. That's not so surprising to me, either. I know a fair amount of iPhone users and, while I'm not one of them, I can certainly see the draw behind not only the standard iPhone features, but some of the nifty add-ons the users find to use with it. Just when I thought I'd seen all of the tricks, gadgets and tips for iPhone living, here's a new one for you. This article over at lifehacker describes a whole new way for using an iPhone that I never would have thought of. And this one DID surprise me. Check it out for yourself! Club Cards ala iPhone, anyone? You know that stack of forty-eight cards you carry in your wallet? No, not the credit cards or the security cards to get into the Data Center, I'm talking about the club cards. You know, the cards you use at the grocery store, the book store, the gas station, and just about every other dang place it seems, these days? Well here's a solution to leaving them all at home, without losing the functionality. I fully admit to having griped over the need to carry too many of these cards more than once. Sure, I could leave the card at home if I felt like reciting my phone number six times a day to strangers, in front of an audience. And yes, there are a few select places that will even keep these cards on file for you at the location you normally go to, but then what if you go somewhere else, and what about the vast majority that don't offer this service? How do I avoid the bulk and annoyance of a stack of these cards in my wallet without losing any of the functionality? Well, apparently, via the iPhone. By scanning in the cards, and creating a photo album of them, a tricky user is able to easily tote his bagillion cards around in one sleek device that is likely carried anyway. And get this, the cards still scan as if they were physically present. Now there's something that not even iRules can do! Read about it over at lifehacker and get a chuckle, or inspiration, who knows. #Colin 0 Ratings Log in to rate this content Print Download Share

Reed (Blues City, 2003, etc.) thinks the media's portrayal of black people is racist—and he's probably right.
The author is perhaps better known by vociferous reputation than for his prolific and diverse career as a writer, and his polemic spirit is alive and well in this latest collection of essays. Selections ruminate on subjects of varying closeness to the author (his mother figures largely in several), but all dance—or perhaps box—around the media's portrayal of African-Americans and its insidious effect on race politics. Reed, with ample evidence, albeit some hearsay, spares no one: Don Imus, Toni Morrison, Orlando Patterson and the Manhattan Institute are all skewered as enablers of racism. The validity of his arguments is at times somewhat undermined by his irascibility (and consequent clouded judgment), but this collection as a whole is provocative and relevant. "Assisted Homicide in Oakland" asks important questions about the city's skyrocketing crime rate and the power of the gun lobby. "The Patriot Act of the Eighteenth Century," originally published in Time, should be required reading for every lawmaker. Reed's dissection of minorities in the media in "The Colored Mind Doubles" is on par with any mainstream op-ed piece and, though surely controversial, makes a salient point about the lengths to which some networks go to advocate "scientific racism" and perpetuate the stereotype that African-American problems are largely self-inflicted. Also included is his landmark 1998 Baltimore Sun essay in which he calls President Clinton a "black" president, a qualified accolade that preceded similar, more widely publicized statements by Jack White and Toni Morrison. A MacArthur Fellow and Pulitzer nominee, Reed's shortcomings are hardly analytical, but rather editorial: His talent is often preceded by the cacophony of sensational one-liners he's amassed over the years. As a critic of the media pundits, he should know better than to bait them.
Worthwhile reading from an important voice.

What they're saying
have invited Sarah Lee to teach master classes at the UW on several occasions because our students are always inspired by her passion and impressed by her knowledge. She integrates education about the culture and music of Guinea into a joyful, yet demanding physical practice. Sarah Lee's ability to break down complex movement so that it is easily accessible makes it a stunning execution of Guinean dance. "
-- Juliet McMains, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Washington Dance Program
"I thought it was really powerful how the drums and the dance were so intertwined - the dance was all about embodying the music as opposed to being just paired with the music, which I really loved. And the fact that it was only drums made the dance really powerful for me as well - you could really feel the beat throughout your entire body and by the end of the class I felt like I was part of the drums!"

Merck & Co.'s marketing team targeted doctors viewed as unfriendly toward Vioxx to bring them into the fold, neutralize or discredit them, the plaintiff's lawyer in the nation's first Vioxx-related lawsuit to go to trial alleged Tuesday.
Houston litigator Mark Lanier questioned Nancy Santanello, head of Merck's epidemiology department, about an internal list of 36 doctors identified as "physicians to neutralize" in an e-mail circulated two months after the popular painkiller went on the market in 1999.
"Attached is the complete list of 36 physicians to neutralize with background information and recommended tactics. You will notice that some have already been 'neutralized,' " the e-mail said. It also said a previous e-mail had a subset of the 36 physicians "we would like to get involved in Merck clinical research" and that the e-mail's recipient should "be aware of our most challenging (and also most vocal) national and regional physicians."
Santanello said the term "neutralize" was a marketing strategy to educate doctors about Vioxx.
"I'm not a marketing person. What the marketing people do is ask the scientists to meet with the physician and explain the data to them," she told jurors.
The case is the first of more than 4,200 Vioxx-related state and federal lawsuits filed across the country to go before a jury, according to Merck.
Federal lawsuits have been consolidated in New Orleans, where a federal judge said Tuesday that the first would go to trial in November, Merck spokesman Kent Jarrell said. Lawyers in the federal actions have yet to choose which suit will go to trial first. Other state cases are slated for trial in South Texas and New Jersey in September.
In the Angleton case, Santanello is Merck's corporate face, representing the company among its team of lawyers.
Lanier pressed her Tuesday about written recommendations to gain each doctor's support for Vioxx. In one case, the document said "Show me the money" next to the name of a doctor and then noted Merck had provided that doctor with $25,000 to support a program to examine treatment of arthritis. In another instance, the document said ''discredit" next to the name of a doctor allegedly deemed unwilling to be swayed.
Santanello said such grants from pharmaceutical companies are common. She also said "discredit" meant providing an alternate viewpoint, and doctors who expect their views on drugs and treatment to be heard can be critical if they think a company ignores them.
"They definitely consider themselves thought leaders, and they want to be included," she said.
The case on trial 40 miles south of Houston centers on the May 2001 death of Robert Ernst, a 59-year-old produce manager at a Wal-Mart who also ran marathons and worked as a personal trainer. He took the drug for about eight months before he died in his sleep of an arrhythmia—or irregular heartbeat—next to his widow, Carol, who is the main plaintiff.
She alleges that Vioxx caused his death and that Merck knew the drug was dangerous years before voluntarily pulling it from the market in September.
Lanier on Tuesday presented documents that showed several Merck sales representatives repeatedly called Ernst's doctor, Brent Wallace, in Cleburne near Fort Worth, in 1999 and 2000 to discuss Vioxx safety and encourage him to prescribe the drug more often.
Merck says the company acted responsibly, disclosed Vioxx research and voluntarily removed the drug from the market last year when a study showed it doubled the risk of heart attack if taken for a year and a half or more.
New Jersey-based Merck also argues that no studies link Vioxx to arrhythmia, so the drug couldn't have caused Ernst's death. Lanier's legal team argues that arrhythmia is most often caused by heart attack, but Ernst died too fast for his heart to show damage.

Cost Savings
Cardboard boxes cost a great deal. Not just in the purchase price, but also in the numbers you need to complete your move and the risk to your property should the boxes be damaged. There is also the cost of excess manpower needed to move so many boxes, injuries from heavy lifting, as well as the disposal of the boxes once your move is complete.
Rentacrate offers a smart alternative to the cardboard box that enables you to save on:
Rentacrates are larger than boxes so you need 20 percent to 50 percent fewer crates than boxes which can reduce the number of truckloads you need by up to 40 percent.
Our Pak-N-Stak™ crate and dolly system enables you to stack more at one time and eliminates dolly-up/dolly-down time, reducing the number of trips it takes to load your property, as well as the time it takes to pack up.
Disposal Costs/Damages
Rentacrates are sturdy, reusable and virtually crushproof. This means your property is protected every step of the way. And when you're done, there's no clean-up or costs associated with disposing of hundreds of cardboard boxes.
Workers' Compensation
Rentacrate's Pak-N-Stak crate and dolly system eliminates heavy lifting from the moving process, helping to reduce injury and resulting claims.
Rentacrate provides a just-in-time delivery and pick-up service directly to you, with 24 hours notice or less, making it easy and convenient.* Crates are delivered and picked up on a predetermined schedule, eliminating storage costs, employee downtime, workplace disruption and clutter.
Contact us to learn how Rentacrate can create a solution for you.
*Rentacrate does not provide any moving labor, just the delivery and pick-up service of its products.

Today marks one month since I came to Kiari! Mr. Smith asked me if I wanted to stay, and my answer is a most definite YES!!!
It's funny how once I sit down to write all the things I'd thought about writing fly out of my head. School went well this week– and saying that reminds me of one thing I was going to tell you about. I'm sure any of you who are teachers can identify with the problem of classroom noise– only my problem is the lack thereof rather than an overabundance! All answers are whispered, and when I say "use your real voice" the student just gets embarrassed and whispers even more quietly! They're getting a little better though– and maybe my ears are getting sharper and more adjusted to their accents too!
This week I finished "turning" a skein of rope and learned how to make a bilum (rope bag). Today there was a crowd of ladies crowding around to watch me, and one of them said, "Yu meri tru bilong PNG," which means "You're a real PNG lady." That made me happy!
We have a man visiting from the US to help with the airstrip, and he arrived Tuesday. Unfortunately his drive from Nomane to Kiari wasn't nearly as smooth as mine– the truck broke down several times and they made it back only by wrapping the broken part each time with some wire made from a piece of chain-link fence that a lady sold them beside the road!
This coming Wednesday we're having a baptism. School is canceled and as baptisms are a big deal here we're having a mumu, or underground barbecue– only I think this one is only vegetables, no pig. Please pray for courage for the new believers as they share their testimonies and for strength for Brother Randy as he stands in the freezing cold river long enough to baptize them all!
Thank you for praying for our mission trip. The team got back safely and we're looking forward to a report from them this afternoon.
Hope you have a blessed week!
"O use me, Lord, use even me, Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where…." -Frances Ridley Havergal
To check email in Kiari, I carry my computer about a mile down the mountain to church and sit on the edge of an overlook where a fitful cell phone signal connects me to the outside world. ☺ Due to this limited connection, I have to limit the file size of my incoming mail. To ensure your message will reach me, please don't send pictures or attachments. It's also nice if you can change your mail format to "plain text" (which usually decreases the file size a good deal) and delete the text of previous messages. In other words, leave off all the "extras"—but do still write! ☺

Excerpt From 'The Paper Garden: An Artist Begins Her Life's Work at 72'
Mary Delany's paper artwork looks like it's painted
As they veer between the dignified and the sensual, the flower mosaicks seem to be as complex as Mrs. D.'s personality. They hold the opposites of intrepidity and shyness, inspired daring and the deliberate anonymity that frustrated her beloved husband Patrick Delany yet endeared her to him. (He wanted her to show off, to play the harpsichord or dance in company, and though she was reputed to be a stunning musician and a delightful dancer, she would adamantly refuse.) But don't confuse her with the prissy ladies in nineteenth-century novels. She lived a century before, when politeness did not mean squeamishness, when elaborate manners existed side by side with blood and bile. Mary Granville, then Pendarves, then Delany was a complicated character in a multi-leveled, socially ornate world. But if a role model in her seventies isn't layered with contradictions – as we all come to be – then what good is she? Why bother to cut the silhouette of another's existence and place it against our own if it isn't as incongruous, ambiguous, inconsistent, and paradoxical as our own lives are?
See also: Interview with Molly Peacock.
A few of the papers she used — all of the papers in the eighteenth century were handmade — in fact were wallpapers, but mostly she painted large sheets of rag paper with watercolor, let them dry, then cut from them the hundreds of pieces she needed to reproduce — well, to re-evoke might be a better word — the flower she was portraying. There is no reproduced hue that matches the thrill of color in nature, yet Mrs. D. went after the original kick of natural color, and she did it like a painter. If you look at photographic reproductions of her work in a book like this, you may swear to yourself that her flowers are painted.

Okay, so its three fanfics am looking for.
from what I remember one was a bleach naruto crossover. where naruto found Ichigo's soul badge in wave country and fused with
Zanguste. saruka unlocked Rukia's powers.
another one was similar to Shoton of Konoha by arch-daishou.
basically, I remember kushina returning and Kiba talking trash about naruto and her and Neko nearly killing him.
the last one is Neko taking naruto in as a baby and raising him as her own.
if anybody knows where these fics are. can you link them?

I know it's time for Short Tale Tuesday but this is not a fiction. This post had to be written sometime, even if I kept trying to fool myself out of it. You could see me fooling myself only a couple of weeks go, where I wrote that I was going to share more, I was going to post more.
But, I don't have the time. I have two blogs (two blogs? What was I thinking!) Wildlife Fun 4 Kids and this one. Although I love my little nook here, I just don't have time. I don't have time because:
- It's so much work to have two identities online
- My family needs me (and that's more important than having another blog)
- Wildlife Fun 4 Kids is going off and that makes me more busy
I want to have more time to:
- Play with my family
- Read books
- Spend time with my best friends
- Write
I can't even imagine having both blogs going off. I'd have no time to have a real life and I'm on the computer enough with WF4K!
I love blogging. I love the community but it's time I faced the truth. I can't do it all. I just can't. One has to go.
So, that brings me to Short Tale Tuesday. It will no longer run. I am so going to miss the Stories of Brian and the The chosen One Series but I hope you continue writing them. I will still be reading.
If anyone would like to take Short Tale Tuesday under their wing, please let me know. You can have the badge I created and take it where it really should go, rather than stagnating here.
I'll still keep my little domain alive and I may post randomly here and there but A Mum in the Wild is not my priority. There are more important things in my life right now ( like a 5 year old going to school next year and almost 2 year old twins).
So, I'm sorry to those who were excited about me having my own personal blog and who were wanting to know more about me as an individual and not as Ranger Penny but it's not the right time.
Thanks for those who have linked up before and for all the wonderful supportive comment I received from the Diary of a SAHM IBOT team!
Here's the last link up on A Mum in the Wild.
The last STT 🙁

Now introducing the 'Quadrophenia Q', a series of short interviews and personal opinions on hand picked musicians and artists struggeling for recognizion will be revealed on 'Music, Truth and Tunes'. Starting off this upcoming two weeks, two interviews will be posted. Unknown artists will get a chance to talk of their art and get more listeners.
The Quadrophenia Q reflects to the 70's film about mods and the power of free expressionism. It also reflects the society where we want our young talents to receive recognition by the world in order to preserve the great in music as an artform and a way of expressing itself. The 'Q' stands for 'Questions' and in this case my questions will give you easy views on what these people hope for, what they do and what their goals are. Taking off this first week the Swedish, Atom/Rock band St. Saddam will give us a comment on their upcoming album on their new label 'RMI' and also the meaning of what the bands music reflect to themselves as well as to the crows. This including short bio and links so you can listen for yourself and see what you think.
The first 'Quadro Q' will be posted in the end of this week.

Journal, Day Three
On the dispersion of poetry throughout Virginia Woolf—seeds suddenly blossoming in her prose's surface: most recently reminded of this in Between the Acts—the scenes of the village play interspersed throughout the novel, typically rendered in brilliant period style, but also poems and bits lodged or mislodged in various characters' consciousnesses. The heroine, Isa, a secret poet, scribbling poems in a "book bound like an account book in case [her husband] suspected."
The great tense, comic scene in the manor house's dining room: the presiding old codger of the place Bartholomew Oliver warming to the near-mindless sensuality of the chance visitor Mrs. Manresa; Giles, Bart's son, fiercely masculine, back for the weekend from the City, also pulsing to Manresa's vibrations; Bart and Giles skeptical and contemptuous of Manresa's friend, the effete artist William Dodge; Giles' wife Isa registering all, she and Giles storing up the day's ammunition for their erotic blowout at dusk, timed against, alongside, the war also raging: it is 1939.
"Since you're interested in pictures," said Bartholomew, turning to the silent guest [Dodge], "why, tell me, are we, as a race, so incurious, irresponsive, and insensitive"—the champagne had given him a flow of unusual three-decker words—"to that novel art, whereas, Mrs. Manresa, if she'll allow me my old man's liberty, has her Shakespeare by heart?"
"Shakespeare by heart!" Mrs. Manresa protested. She struck an attitude: "To be, or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler . . . Go on!" she nudged Giles, who sat next to her.
"Fade far away and quite forget what thou amongst the leaves hast never known . . . " Isa supplied the first words that came into her head by way of helping her husband out of his difficulty.
"The weariness, the torture, and the fret . . . " William Dodge added, burying the end of his cigarette in a grave between two stones.
The way the matter of "having Shakespeare by heart" emerges as social chatter, an opportunity for display and (courtesy of the author) mild ridicule; the devastating faltering theatricality of Manresa; the "rescue" of Giles by Isa, who somewhat haplessly yet brilliantly moves from Shakespeare to Keats, his "Ode to a Nightingale" ("fade far away and quite forget . . . "), lines William Dodge, the sensitive aesthete, immediately recognizes and follows with another phrase from the ode ("The weariness, the torture, and the fret . . . ).
a masterpiece of comedy, mourning, misdirection—
the use and abuse of poetry—for life—
Woolf's imagery everywhere tinged by her immersion in poets: the graves looming in Between the Acts, the cigarette in this scene buried in "a grave between two stones," years before the Somme—
the interment imagined in Keats' Ode, evoked here: the proleptic interment of the war, of Woolf herself in the Ouse:
As Keats in his Ode images himself dead, buried, laid in the earth, "a sod," no longer possessed of organs of sentience, reduced to the dirt he now dwells in: thus impervious to the nightingale's song—
To thy high requiem become a sod.
Woolf giving us in this novel her last requiem. Channeling Keats through her characters, that terrible death-vision born of long thinking on generations, their deaths, the endless repetition and waste: as Keats addresses his nightingale, considering—
That I might drink, and leave the world unseen,
And with thee fade away into the forest dim:
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
What thou among the leaves hast never known,
The weariness, the fever, and the fret
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs,
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
And leaden-eyed despairs,
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes,
Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow.
Keats' brother Tom had just died when he wrote this Ode; Woolf's mother died when she was thirteen; her beloved older sister Stella died some years later; her brother Thoby still later; and now the imminent deaths in this second world war—
The undertow of Woolf's novels a tremendous and controlled keening: putting one in mind of Julia Kristeva's elaboration of the "semiotic" domain of language, carried within and below language, alongside and beyond its "symbolic" structure: langue, the system of language, into which any speaking subject enters, bringing with herself that pre-existing pre-linguistic texture of the chora, the bodily music and terror of laughter, crying, keening, gasping, etc.: this semiotic force upsurging throughout Woolf, in poetry, in song, in rhythmic "scraps, orts, and fragments."
The chorus in the hedges of the village play in Between the Acts, that transhistorical chorus (chora) here mustered by the local artist-commandant, Ida La Trobe, writer and director of the annual village play; this gathering of folk through whom poetry courses—
Hark hark the dogs do bark—
These voices from the hedges in Between the Acts sounding through Jorie Graham's Overlord (2005), with its several poems "Spoken From the Hedgerows"—a striking feedback loop here between poetry and novels; how in a time of war to "think what we are doing," as Hannah Arendt enjoins, how to sing beyond what we are doing—
The great refrain in Between the Acts,
dispersed are we—
from a song La Trobe plays on the gramophone to signal the play's interval—life, dispersed, in the intervals; communal life, gathered, momentarily, in song—
Consider Woolf's gramophone vs. T. S. Eliot's: the gramophone, instrument of mass entertainment, associated with sexual disgust in The Waste Land—after the tawdry sex scene between the typist and the young man carbuncular:
She smoothes her hair with automatic hand
And puts a record on the gramophone.
while in Woolf the machine is humanized, incorporated in the great albeit humble pageant, an instrument of communal consciousness—
dispersed are we
These eruptions of poetry punctuate her novels, bearing a crucial bodily and ontological force: the pathos and narcissism of Mr. Ramsay in To the Lighthouse, endlessly muttering Cowper's devastating lines:
We perished, each alone.
from "The Castaway."
No voice divine the storm allayed,
No light propitious shone,
When, snatched from all effectual aid,
We perished, each alone:
But I beneath a rougher sea,
And whelmed in deeper gulfs than he.
—William Cowper, "The Castaway"
Mr. Ramsay's fiercely iterated solitude a masculine overdifferentiation? A denial or evasion of his obvious dependence on Mrs. Ramsay? An acknowledgement of the radical isolation we all, in the end, inhabit?
It would seem this refrain is for him a fetish: an impasse: a barrier to inner movement.
How people hold such lines in mind: for Woolf, a revelation of character.
The aging Mrs. Dalloway proleptically mourning and consoling herself throughout the novel via these lines—
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages—
(from Shakespeare's Cymbeline)
Lines sounding the subliminal groundnote of her consciousness—and again like Keats' Ode a singing unto death—
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages—
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages;
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
Consider the trace appearance of the ballad "The Four Marys" (alternatively known as "The Queen's Marie," or "Mary Hamilton") in A Room of One's Own: a brilliant turn, this allusion to a traditionary (and thus by definition "anonymous") ballad amplifying Woolf's concern with "anonymous," that author who may well have been a woman; for of course the point of oral tradition is that there is no "author" to any ballad—there is only communal authorization of ballads, via ongoing recreation of them—and Woolf is exploring what there is to be found in tradition for women, by women—and for all:
Woolf conjures this ballad in the first chapter of A Room of One's Own:
"Here then was I (call me Mary Beton, Mary Seton, Mary Carmichael, or by any name you please—it is not a matter of any importance)."
But these names, so casually tossed off, are the very names itemized in the last stanza of the old ballad:
Last night there were four Marys
Tonight there'll be but three
There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton
And Mary Carmichael and me.
And why will there be "but three"? Because by day's end, and by ballad's end, Mary Hamilton will be hanged: she illicitly bore the king a child and—hoping to suppress this fact—killed it; and she's been found out. Ripped from the headlines, indeed. (Some versions of the ballad are set explicitly during the reign of James I-James VI in Scotland, James I in England: "Word's gane to the kitchen / And word's gane to the ha, / That Mary Hamilton gangs wi bairn / To the highest Steweart of a.'") And thus "Mary Hamilton" is one of the several great infanticide ballads in the English and Scottish ballad tradition: cf Francis James Child's compendium, Web versions of which can be found at www.contemplator.com.
Dead children, dead women, dead soldiers—all make their way through Woolf's corpus via poetry. And poetry offers Woolf multiple structures of identification: call me Mary Beton, Mary Seton, Mary Carmichael, or by any name you please—it is not a matter of any importance. And yet it is indeed a matter of importance. One could be anyone, or that one. And beyond such mourned contents, such possible selves: one sees that through poetry Woolf conjures a kind of communal chora, a transpersonal subliminal zone of contact, intimacy, and repulsion—the vibrating membranes between us so delicately, exactly, mapped.
And the violation of these membranes?
From the sublime elsewhere—

Over the transom this week:
Yvonne Rainer's memoir has just been published: dancer, choreographer, film-maker, citizen, blaster-into-space—and now memoirist.
Does Yvonne feel any kinship with Rainer Maria Rilke? Onomastics are fantastic.
Also in: the latest "fold-up"—poetry broadside—is here from Pressed Wafer, Bill Corbett's operation out of Boston, with Cris Mattison designing as always beautifully: this month, Taylor Stoehr's translations of Chinese poetry: his songs of the frontier ringing as frontiers everywhere rage and get violently made—
Woe to the soldiers,
once they were men!
Mail Art! Mail Art! Time to revive: Shout-Out to Dick Higgins (R.I.P.)
The poetics of space: Bachelard: and Amira El-Zein's poem "Square is Jerusalem," which she read at Lame Duck Books in Cambridge last spring, at a party for Arrowsmith Press's new books: written in Arabic, translated by Karin Ryding, its refrain has stayed with me—
And this final devastating curse, or perverse blessing:
Let warfare rage To transform what is into what should be: the bitter desideratum: let warfare rage—as rage it does: Amira writing most recently via email, devastated by the events in Gaza. Playwright and poet and divagator Brighde Mullins reports from LA that she is en route to a "conference on imagination": would that we all were in such a perpetual conference!
Imagination! —lifting up itself Also just in: galleys of Paul Muldoon's Oxford lectures and his latest volume of poems: big brain! Big word-hoard! Razzle-dazzle! Plain style begone! Though he can stick it plain as anyone.
and the writings of nations

Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff told reporters following Sunday's loss that HC Mike Smith's job is not in jeopardy.
"Mike Smith is a hell of a football coach; he's the leader of this team," Dimitroff said ESPN.com. "Mike's going nowhere."
A CBS report mentioned that Jon Gruden may have interest in the Falcons job if it were to become available, but Dimitroff has made it pretty clear that firing Smith is not going to happen.
"Any time there's insinuation toward an organization that we believe in, it's agitating, sure," said Dimitroff.
Smith led the Falcons to a 13-3 record just one season ago and nearly made it to the Super Bowl after losing to the 49ers in NFC Championship Game.
This season has been largely disappointing for Atlanta, but their setbacks have come after they suffered some key injuries and their overall depth has been exposed.

A bad house guest
Life is soon to get a whole lot easier. You see, an unwanted visitor will soon be making a disappearance. For another year at least.
This visitor makes me stressed, causes arguments between myself and my husband and winds up my daughter a treat.
This visitor picks one moment during Every. Single. Day to wave their hands and shout "Cooeeee, I'm over here!" before taunting my soon-to-be 18 month old with a big fat raspberry.This causes tears and shouts of indignation on her part, followed by angry grumbles from the (self-proclaimed) Northern Love Machine and protective snarls from me.

In search of Christmas
I've searched high and low. In cupboards and under sofas, at the end of the garden and inside countless photo albums. But I still can't find it. Christmas is keeping a very low profile.
It's not that I haven't entered into the festive spirit. I've been belting out Christmas tunes with the best of them. I've hung mistletoe and put up a tree and even spent two hours one evening sticking cloves into oranges.
But still, Christmas is nowhere to be seen. Continue reading
I'm giving you a present…
Is it just me, or is Christmas shopping a bit of a pain? I mean, you buy something gorgeous, spend ages wrapping it and then… Well, then you have to go and give it away.
I've browsed the internet for most of my present purchases this year, in the failed hope that it will bestow me with some kind of restraint and stop me buying myself a treat every time I buy something for someone else. I couldn't be more wrong. Every time I've gone online, I've seen something that I want for myself. I'm a terrible giver.
Which is why it's so surprising that I'm now giving you a present. Yes you. Continue reading

I know this is against all the rules of animal ownership. Having recently covered a story on huge demand for places at a nearby animal shelter, I'm aware people can be fickle when it comes to new pets at this time of year.
But I'm going to do it anyway. I'm giving my daughter a pet for Christmas. Continue reading

Discovering Christmas at Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland
We're a little groggy today. A late night and a huge adventure to the Winter Wonderland in London's Hyde Park has left us barely awake this morning.
But it was worth it.
This time last year, I was excited – desperately so. I was counting down the days until I could enjoy all sorts of festive treats with my new baby.
But while it was our first Christmas as a three instead of a two, it turned out to be pretty uneventful. No trips to see Christmas lights being turned on, no carols, no Christmas markets. And certainly no Winter Wonderland. There's only so much five month old babies are interested in, you see. And anything that doesn't involve milk and sleep wasn't met with a huge amount of enthusiasm. Continue reading
The DIY Advent Calender and the Mother Guilt Complex
As if I haven't got enough on my plate – what with juggling work and a 16 month old diva – I've decided to make my own Advent Calender.
It's all part of my ongoing quest to be the perfect mother and assuage the constant Mother Guilt Complex that nags at the back of my mind.
The thing is, I'm a bit crap at making things. Take this homemade peg bag for example: Continue reading

Hello everyone — I have good news! I've just published two ebooks on Amazon Kindle:
Saigon Tease: So, What Did You Do in Nam, Dad? (Amazon Kindle, $3.99) is a memoir of my Vietnam tour of duty in 1967-1968. My experience there was quite different from the ones you often read about, which is why I think it's time, as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the war, to tell this story. Here's a description:
Catch-22 was the first classic farce about American military life. "M*A*S*H," set later during the Korean War, continued that tradition. But few books have chronicled the behind-the-scenes absurdities of the Vietnam War.
In the tradition of "Sgt. Bilko," Saigon Tease follows the misadventures, narrow escapes, and anguish of an 18-year-old in Vietnam in 1967 as he awkwardly transitions from boy to man. But it differs from its predecessors in one significant way: all the bizarre escapades are true. And that 18-year-old was me.
Many Americans, when asked what comes to mind when they think of Vietnam, would probably say anger, torment, sadness. I had a different experience. For that reason, the tone of my book is not angry, tormented, or sad. Saigon Tease is not a war story, and yet it is very much a war story. It's not a diary from the front lines; it's a chronicle from behind the lines where the vast majority of Vietnam vets served. It's a saga of wonder and beauty and innocence and mischief set in exotic Southeast Asia during the pivotal war of our generation.
But perhaps the most significant thing about this memoir is that these tales were not the exceptions; they were the norm for most men and women who went there. And that story has never been told.
How I Killed Off My Ex-Wife and Other Far-Flung Misadventures (Amazon Kindle, $2.99) is a humor collection of all the other places I've gotten into trouble around the world. I had a ton of fun compiling this. Many of the stories were sold to such publications as National Geographic Traveler, Islands, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and the lead piece in Not So Funny When It Happened: The Best of Travel Humor and Misadventure (Travelers' Tales, 2000).
In the tradition of George Plimpton's Out of My League and P.J. O'Rourke's Holidays in Hell, participatory journalist Wood takes the reader around the world to document a lifetime of foolish decisions, embarrassing behavior, horrifying predicaments, and really, really bad luck. From disrobing for Playgirl to rescuing a hostage at James Bond Fantasy Camp. From getting the dung scared out of him on a Tanzanian safari to being detained as a spy in Havana. From stressing out on "The Dating Game" to snuffing his ex in Vietnam.
How I Killed Off My Ex-Wife is a collection of true stories that may cause the reader to wonder: No way this many dumb, outrageous, impossible things could have happened. Not to one person. Not in one lifetime. Not without extraordinarily poor judgment, unusually bad karma, or being dared lots and lots of times.
Most readers have had crazy experiences in their life. What separates them from Wood is that most people have good reputations to protect, possess reasonable judgment, and have the good sense not to publish their stories and confirm what ninnies they really are.
Both books are currently being serialized, one story/chapter at a time, for free on Jukepop.com every week. How I Killed Off My Ex-Wife is already an Editor's Pick. Check them out!

"To boldly go where no man has gone before", I know I'm ripping this out of its context, but I think it's fitting for the mainframe as well. Many will say that this was definitely the case 50 years ago, by now some will argue that the mainframe is a thing of the past (remember the Mainframe is Dead saga) but I'm convinced (and lots of others with me of course) that it is still the case today. People have absolutely no idea how strongly our lives are intertangled with the mainframe. Have a look at this video.
And here's another one.
Well, you know why I'm writing about this : the mainframe is turning 50 and you're still going to hear and see A LOT about it. Just let me give you some places to go to when you want to celebrate with us.
IBM has created two new sites for the occasion. The first is over here. There also a tumblr site that you can find over here. It has weekly themes and this week's theme is mobile. There are also lots of interesting infographics. Further, you will see (on this site and others) a lot of attention for the IBM Master the Mainframe World Championship. It's "a first-of-its-kind,
premiere enterprise computing competition. Students from over 20
countries around the world will compete in a series of challenges, which
will culminate on April 7, 2014 at IBM in New York City". Check out it's own site over here.
If you want to follow everything on Twitter these are the hashtags to use : #mainframe50 and if you're in for it also #MainframeMemories. Of course, at an anniversary, we have to look forward but we can learn from our past and there will be lots of reminiscing about the good old times as well. Here's an example I came across today : the Mainframe Memories by Neale Ferguson (@NealeFerguson).
I can tell you one more thing : over the last years I regularly heard voices coming up to abandon the term 'mainframe'. "Call it a large enterprise server" or whatever, but I've always stuck to the mainframe terminology as such and so I'm still proud my blog is called the MAINFRAME Watch.
So, let's get started on those next 50 years !
