Denon MC6000 Professional Digital Mixer & Controller
Product Number:
List Price $799.00
Our Price $529.00
Denon DJ, a leading manufacturer of premium-grade DJ equipment, introduces the DN-MC6000 Mixer and MIDI Controller, a four-channel/eight-source standalone digital DJ mixer with MIDI interface and internal sound card. With an astounding amount of features, real-time channel matrix operation, slim tabletop design, state-of-the-art solid steel chassis construction and quality sound, the DN-MC6000 is one of Denon DJ's flagship controllers. Also acting as an audio interface (with a 2 in/2out stereo soundcard included), the DN-MC6000, when paired with the user's software of choice, is a turnkey control solution for mobile DJs and party DJs, and a clear centerpiece to any DJ rig.
It comes bundled with Virtual DJ LE, Audio/Video/Karaoke mixing software in North/South America and Canada, and Native Instruments® TRAKTOR™ LE for Europe and Asia. The DN-MC6000 is MIDI-mapable and compatible with other popular DJ programs. The unit interfaces seamlessly with Mac® OSX and Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. Unlike other comparable products, the DN-MC6000 includes a selectable Video/Audio control cross fader feature. Each side of the unit can control up to two decks (for a total of four), with visible deck color change for intuitive, straightforward operation.

Key features include rack-mountability (with included 19" rackmount accessory kit), a number of on-board MIDI effect controls, durable construction, intuitive layout, dual jog wheels, pitch fader, channel fader, cross fader and much more. The unit's Pitch/Fader/Volume lock function holds the last known Audio value and position until the NULL point is again reached. It is also easy for users to find where they are going, with the included File browse navigation keys and rotary encoder file selector knob with illuminated ring. Also featured are the unit's high-quality, high-output headphone amp, the independent 3-band Channel EQ with "Kills" (high-mid-low) and various Utility presets to customize user settings.

I think SafeSync may be confused by identical files with different names.
I had two identical files in the same directory: DCP_0930JPG and DarkDog.JPG.
Status remained as 'Updating File Structure' with pending files pointing at DarkDog.JPG.
I then moved DarkDog to another directory and back, hoping this would help clear up SafeSync's ideas.
However,after moving it back status remains as Updating File Structure', with Pending Files as below.
DCP_0930JPG has not been looked at, changed or deleted throughout the process.
Or it might be a pointer at the bug where SafeSync has been reported as deleting files ????
Trend Micro SafeSync - Pending Files Filename Action Status % Rate DCP_0930JPG Delete Waiting Size 142.91KB Path Pictures/2000/DarkDog.JPG Transfer status Waiting Close
Solved! Go to Solution.
I may have a variation on this problem, having just completed a backup of several thousand files, I find myself left with 64 files that are "Pending". I can see no security access rights issues, they are conventionally names, a combination of a few PDF's and MP3's. There seems to be nothing out of the ordinary about these files but they sit there without backing up.
For about half of the files on my list, they fall into a similar category to the post above, they were backed up previosly when located in a different drive/folder before I moved them to their final location. So a copy did exist previously (though it has been deleted now when I look at the back-up).
I like the safesync solution, just struggling to work out what is up with these last few files? Any suggestions?
Many Thanks
Hi Rob,
Please try to clear cache of SafeSync by doing the following:
1. Exit out of SafeSync (sign out and then disable the application)
2. Then go to
For XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows accout name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Trend Micro\OSDP\<account name>
For Vista and 7:
C:\Users\<Windows accout name>\AppData\Local\Trend Micro\OSDP\<account name>
3. Delete the Root and Temp folder
4. Re login again
What SafeSync will do next is to rebuild the structure of the Smart Drive, it will only download the structures of the directory and will not download your online files(unless you caching). At the same time it will try to sync files that did not sync on the previous attempt.
Had a similar problem & this worked a treat.

Broccolini – Gluten-Free Menu Plan Sept. 30
Posted By Heather On September 30, 2013 @ 12:26 am In Menu Plan | 11 Comments
[2]Last week was one of those weeks where I had so many activities and distractions that the grocery shopping was quick pick-ups and the cooking didn't quite follow the menu plan. So, you'll see some of my planned meals from last week are here again this week. I didn't get to make all the yummy squash recipes either, so I'm going to give it another try this week.
As for this week's Gluten-Free Menu Swap, I chose Broccolini as the theme because I wanted to take the opportunity to find out more about it. Maybe you already know this but…. According to Wikipedia [3], broccolini is a hybrid of broccoli and kai-lan (Chinese broccoli, not the Disney character). Broccolini has longer stems and smaller crowns than traditional broccoli, and is also more tender. The flavor is a little different from broccoli, and is sometimes reminiscent of asparagus. Broccolini seems to be the name commonly used these days, however, it is known around the world with a number of different names: baby broccoli, tenderstem broccoli, asparation, bimi, broccolette, and broccoletti.
Looking around the Web for recipes, it appears that a favorite way to prepare the vegetable is to blanch it and then quickly saute [4] it right before serving. I've never blanched it before sautéing, but maybe I should give it a try. Rachael Ray has a quick method of boiling and sautéing [5] that skips the ice water bath needed for blanching. Steaming and boiling [6] broccolini works just as well, but doesn't need as much time as broccoli does. I even saw a simple recipe at Taste of Home for Baked Broccolini [7]. I'm wondering what everyone else is doing with this yummy vegetable. Roasted? Grilled, maybe? Share with us your favorite ways to prepare and eat it.
I don't have any recipes specific to Broccolini, but I imagine it would work really well with my recipes for Quinoa with Broccoli and Mushrooms [8], and Baked Broccoli Mushroom Casserole [9].
The Gluten-Free Menu Swap roundup will be included below. Don't forget to check it for more gluten-free menus and ideas for using broccoli and broccolini in your meals.
Celiac Family's Menu This Week:
Monday – Rotisserie Chicken from Sam's Club, Butternut Squash Cornbread [12], Sautéed Green Beans
Tuesday – Mexican Chicken Pizza [10] with tomatoes, black olives, and avocado slices
Wednesday – Halloween Pancakes [13], Angela's Turkey Sausage [14], Berry Fruit Salad [11]
Thursday – Angela's Thai Thighs [15], Quinoa with Broccolini and Mushrooms [8]
Friday – Battered Fish, Roasted Potatoes, and steamed peas
Saturday – Beef & Broccolini Stir Fry, Jasmine Rice
Gluten Free Menu Swap Roundup
The Peaceful Mom: Simple Gluten-Free Menu
Kimberlee's Easy Chicken Stir-Fry [16] looks like it would be a perfect meal for adding Broccolini. She's also making Mexican Stuffed Peppers [17], BBQ Pork Sliders, Italian Pasta Salad, Cheeseburger Pasta, and Pizza this week.
The Girl Who Couldn't Eat Anything: eating without Gluten, Dairy, Peanuts, Oats, or Meat [18]
Elisabeth loves to roast broccoli in the oven [19], though she hasn't tried it with broccolini, yet. She could easily add some broccolini to the Veggie Pot Pie and Shrimp Teriyaki Stir-Fry she's planning this week. Also on her menu this week is Tuna Apple Salad, Grilled Cheese, Eggs, and Pizza.
Gluten Free Detroit Metro: Gluten-Free Menu
Broccolini is not always easy to find in the stores, but if she finds it this week, Amanda might enjoy it with Cilantro Lime Shrimp [20] and Spring Rolls with Fried Rice. Amanda is also planning for Angela's White Chicken Chili for the Slow-Cooker [21], Cabbage Stew, and a night out for pizza this week.
Dietz Eats: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Menu [22]
Fawn is serving broccoli this week with Fried Chicken and Cornbread, and Roasted Chicken with Potatoes. She'll also be pulling chili out of the freezer one night, making chicken salad another night, and celebrating her anniversary with a night out.
Angela's Kitchen: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Menu
You'll find Broccolini in Angela's Chicken Sausage Broccolini Quinoa [23] and maybe even in her Chicken Broccoli Casserole [24] this week. She'll also be making Enchilada Meatballs, Twice Baked Spinach Mushroom Garlic Stuffed Potatoes, and Pork Roast with Apples and Pears.
Thanks for joining us this week. Join us next week as we share our favorite ways to use Garlic in our meals.

Jackson is to cross-country skiing what Killington is to downhill—the capital of the East. The Jackson Ski Touring Foundation, a nonprofit organization that maintains the paths around Jackson, oversees 153 kilometers of trails that wind gracefully through storybook New England scenery. With 69 trails to choose from, you can pick one today, and get lost all over again tomorrow, as you glide through woods full of evergreens, past clapboard farmhouses, over wintry meadows and around glassy rivers.

Off the slopes: Not tired yet? Visit Nestlenook Farm for a moonlit twirl on rink-smooth Emerald Lake. After a spin on the ice, and a demonstration of your fancy footwork, wind down with warm kisses in the gazebo.
Where to stay: At the end of the day, ski right up to the door of The Wentworth, a sumptuous 51-room country inn. Check into the Arden Room, where you can soak away the day's soreness in your own outdoor hot tub, and thaw out on the room's king-size four-poster bed in front of a toasty fire.

My family liked this pie. I, however, felt it needed tweeking to get the 5 star rating. I felt the topping was too sweet, so next time, I'll reduce the brown sugar (can also probably reduce the butter to 6 tablespoons). I used canned peaches that I drained and added nutmeg, cinnamon and a little more sugar (I did like the peach part). The other issue that I had was the bottom of the crust did not brown enough; thus became soggy, even after 65 minutes in the oven and the rim and side of the pie (with pie sheilds) were well browned. I think baking it closer to the botton rack will remedy that. I will try it again with these modifications.

- 3 pounds ripe peaches (about 8), peeled and sliced (see Notes)
- About 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca (see Notes)
- 1 disk (1/2 recipe) Best Basic Pie Crust Dough
- 1. Put an oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 350°. Stir together walnuts, pecans, flour, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Add butter and stir with a fork until mixture forms small clumps (break apart any large clumps with your fingers). Set aside.

- 3. Dust your counter and rolling pin with flour. With short strokes from center outward, roll dough into a 12-in. circle (about 1/8 in. thick), turning 90° after every 3 or 4 passes of the rolling pin to keep it from sticking. Transfer dough to a 9-in. deep-dish glass pie plate, letting it fall into place (if you push or stretch the dough, it will shrink back when baked). Trim overhang to 1/2 in., tuck edge under, and crimp edge. Pile peaches into crust, then top with streusel.
- 4. Put pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until topping and bottom crust are well browned, about 1 hour. Let cool to room temperature, at least 2 1/2 hours, before serving.
- Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
If your peaches are exceptionally juicy, toss with an additional tbsp. of tapioca. To peel peaches, make a small x on the bottom of the fruit, then plunge into boiling water for 30 seconds. Once cool, the skin will pull free.

Very funny. It'll survive, and I hope to see lots more like this. It wasn't really funny until the lion started wigging out and the ferret(?) went into his spiel about socio-political ramifications. Then the lion tore the rat's face off. Great stuff.

25th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
|25th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 23 - 27 October 2000
|Agenda item 9
The Joint Work Plan with the Convention on Biological Diversity and implications for Ramsar of the Decisions of CBD COP5
5th Meeting of the Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity
Nairobi, 15-26 May 2000
Digest of issues and Decisions of particular relevance to the Ramsar Convention
(prepared by the Ramsar Bureau, May 2000)
General Comments
1. Strong support and endorsement for the CBD/Ramsar Joint Work Plan from many Contracting Parties (not just those with whom we traditionally work closely), and much recognition that such joint plans are the way forward between conventions. Strong instruction to CBD Secretariat to develop joint working relations with other conventions and particularly on some topics with UNFCCC and Desertification Convention.
2. Much increased recognition through many of the Decisions that Ramsar covers more than just inland waters (an issue at the last SBSTTA in Montreal): references to Ramsar in Decisions on both other ecosystems and on cross-cutting issues.
3. Little progress on some issues of importance to Ramsar, notably indicators. Ecosystem management approach endorsed, but importantly recognising that this does not exclude other approaches, notably for species (e.g., waterbird flyway strategies).
4. The Bureau is now working with CBD Secretariat and with the scientific subsidiary bodies of the two conventions to develop mechanisms for delivering the actions outlined in the JWP, not least because many require information sharing, cross-linked participation, and/or joint working between the respective bodies.
5. Considerable encouragement from CPs (and reflected in wording of Decisions) to see CBD begin to deliver products and tangible results, with target and timeframe setting much stronger.
6. Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety signed by 57 countries. Now awaits ratification to come into force.
7. Rather stronger recognition of role of NGOs in CBD process: both in the course of the Conference (interventions, etc.) and recognition of their work in supporting implementation of CBD, notably e.g. in the alien species debate.
8. The Earth Negotiations Bulletin summary below encapulates the overall outcomes of COP5:
The fifth Conference of the Parties (COP-5) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) took place from 15-26 May 2000, at UNEP Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, drawing together approximately 1500 participants representing 156 governments, as well as NGOs, IGOs and indigenous and local community organizations. Delegates to COP-5 considered and adopted decisions on a number of topics, including: a new thematic work programme on conservation of dry and sub-humid land biodiversity; the ecosystem approach; access to genetic resources; alien species; sustainable use as a cross-cutting issue; biodiversity and tourism; incentive measures; the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation; progress in implementing the work programmes on agricultural, inland water ecosystem, marine and coastal and forest biodiversity; operations of the Convention; the Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI); financial resources and mechanism; scientific and technical cooperation and the Clearing-House Mechanism (CHM); identification, monitoring and assessment, and indicators; and impact assessment, liability and redress. A High-Level segment on the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, including a Ministerial Roundtable and a special signing ceremony, was convened during the second week of the meeting. Many delegates characterized COP-5 as a success and attributed this to the positive working atmosphere and delegates efficiency. Participants noted the maturation of the process and discussions, while highlighting the need to move from policy generation to implementation.
Institutional Links
Operations of the Convention: Cooperation with other bodies (COP5 Decision V/21)
9. Two paragraphs (cited in full below) provide the overarching endorsement of the 2nd CBD/Ramsar Joint Work Plan, and, of particular importance, recognition that it covers actions on several ecosystem themes and cross-cutting issues (not just the inland waters theme as remained the persistent focus of discussion at SBSTTA5). The Decision also commends the JWP as a model for future cooperation between CBD and other conventions.
4. Welcomes and endorses the second joint work plan (2000-2001) between the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (UNEP/CBD/SBSTTA/5/INF/12), and commends it as a useful example of future cooperation between the Convention on Biological Diversity and other environmental conventions;
5. Notes that the second joint work plan between the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands includes a range of cooperative actions in relation to several ecosystem themes and cross-cutting issues of the Convention on Biological Diversity, as well as proposing actions to ahrmonize institutional processes, and requests the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice and the Executive Secretary to take these actions fully into consideration in furthering the respective programmes of work in these areas.
10. No amendments were made by COP5 to the Joint Work Plan itself (nor previously were any made to the text as presented to SBSTTA5 as paper INF/12). The operative version of the plan is therefore that of SBSTTA5/INF/12.
11. Other paragraphs of this Decision request CBD development of enhancing links with inter alia UNFCCC (a number of cross-cutting links here also with Ramsar e.g. on coral reefs, incentives, etc. - see also below), CMS, DIVERSITAS, and the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment.
Operations of the Convention (COP5 Decision V/20)
12. Under III. Operations of SBSTTA, two paragraphs identify the development and maintenance of links between convention subsidiary bodies:
17. Decides that the Chair of [SBSTTA] or other members of the Bureau authorised by him or her may represent the Subsidiary Body at meetings of the scientific bodies of other conventions and relevant biological-diversity-related conventions, institutions and processes;
18. Encourages the Bureau of [SBSTTA] to hold meetings with equivalent bodies of other relevant biological-diversity-related conventions, institutions and processes.
Thematic areas
Inland waters (COP5 Decision V/2)
13. In Para. 2 the joint work plan was endorsed and the joint Ramsar/CBD River Basins Initiative (which held a very successful side event during COP5) received a specific mention:
2. Endorses the proposed joint work plan for the period 2000-2001 of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat (UNEP/CBD/SBSTTA/5/INF/12), which includes, inter alia, a River Basin Initiative, encourages Parties, other governments and relevant bodies to support and participate in the Initiative, and stresses that Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ramsar Convention shall not be disadvantaged in the working and implementation of the joint work plan;
14. Note that other paragraphs refer to addressing the lack of information on the status of inland water biodiversity, and links to the Global International Waters Assessment (GIWA) as a means of getting such assessment. The links with Ramsars wetland inventory and assessment work (and how this ties in with the wetland components of the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment) will need further development.
Marine and Coastal (COP5 Decision V/3)
15. Paragraph 2 of the preamble notes the relevance of the Joint Work Plan for future implementation of the programme of work on marine and coastal biodiversity.
16. The Decision includes separate sections on the different elements of the CBD marine and coastal workplan. Ramsar receives specific mention in several places, and there are other areas of action outlined which are relevant to the JWP implementation and STRPs current work:
I. Coral reefs. Para 4 "Requests [that] In conducting his work on coral bleaching, the Executive Secretary will also liase with, inter alia, the Convention on Wetlands ."
II. Integrated Marine and Coastal Area Management. No specific Ramsar mention, but note ref. STRP ICZM Working Group that further work on developing guidelines for coastal areas (taking into account the ecosystem approach) is endorsed, as is ecosystem evaluation and assessment through guidelines on evaluation and indicators.
IV. Alien species and genotypes. Links information, expertise and good practice on marine alien species to the overall work programme on alien species (see also below).
VI Cooperation. Note that the Executive Secretary of CBD is requested to coordinate with the secretariats of regional seas conventions, with the possibility of joint work programmes. This has relevance to Ramsars developing links with such conventions, notably Cartagena and HELCOM.
17. An Annex lists "Priority areas for action on coral bleaching". There are several issues identified of relevance to Ramsar activity.
18. Specifically, one issue is that: "Coral Bleaching is relevant not only to [CBD] but also to [UNFCCC] and the Convention on Wetlands". This notes that "The Convention on Wetlands provides guidance on the conservation and wise use of wetlands, including coral reefs."
The planned Response to the issue is: "Initiate efforts to develop joint actions among the Convention on Biological Diversity, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the Convention on Wetlands to:
a) Develop approaches for assessing the vulnerability of coral-reef species to global warming;
b) Build capacity for predicting and monitoring the impacts of coral bleaching;
c) Identify approaches for developing response measures to coral bleaching;
d) Provide guidance to financial institutions, including the Global Environment Facility, to support such activities.
19. The Annex also highlights the potential use of monitoring of coral reefs and coral bleaching as an early warning system for the impacts of global warming on marine ecosystems. This has relevance to STRPs current work on ecological change, risk assessment and early warning systems.
Forest Biological Diversity (COP5 Decision V/4)
20. 20. Invites the Executive Secretary to strengthen cooperation with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, including its Kyoto Protocol, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, [CITES], and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands especially on issues relevant to forest biological diversity, taking into account the role of the United Nations Forum on Forests.
Dryland, Mediterranean, Arid, Semi-Arid, Grassland and Savanna Ecosystems (COP5 Decision V/23)
21. Note that this programme of work may also be referred to as on "dry and sub-humid lands". Although there is no specific mention of Ramsar in the operative paragraphs, there are several reference here to collaboration with UNCCD and other relevant bodies, including Ramsar, in undertaking the programme of work.
22. The proposed programme of work (Annex I) makes general and several more specific references to wetlands and Ramsar:
I. Introduction. Para 2.(c) "Promote synergy and coordination, and avoid duplication, between related conventions . . ."
II. Proposed Programme of Work
23. Part A. Assessments. "Activity 2. Identification of specific areas within dry and sub-humid lands of particular value for biological diversity and/or under particular threat such as, inter alia, endemic species and low lying wetlands". (Note that Activity 1. covers assessment of status and trends including effectiveness of conservation measures.)
24. Part B: Targeted actions in response to identified needs. Activity 7 (Promotion of specific measures for the conservation and sustainable use of the biological diversity of dry and sub-humid lands) includes:
(l) Cooperation with the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and the Convention on Migratory Species with regard to, inter alia, integrated catrchment management incorporating wetland ecosystems as integral parts of dry and sub-humid lands; and also:
(m) Cooperation with all relevant conventions, in particular [CCD], with respect to, inter alia, the sustainable use of the biological diversity of dry and sub-humid lands, the application of the ecosystem approach, the assessment of status and trends of the biological diversity as well as to its threats.
Cross-cutting areas
Alien Species (COP5 Decision V/8)
25. Alien (invasive) species received strong attention, with a particular focus on the work of the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) and its development of a global strategy. There will also be further elaboration of the interim guiding principles for COP6, for which Parties and international bodies are invited to submit comments and case studies (paragraph 5). Paragraph 11 makes specific reference to Ramsar, along with a wide range of other conventions and bodies:
11. Requests the Executive Secretary to cooperate with other international bodies and other relevant international and regional binding and non-binding instruments, such as . . . the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat (Ramsar), . . . with the aim of coordinating work on alien invasive species, and to report on potential joint work programmes of work to [SBSTTA].
26. Paragraph 14. also requests such collaboration in a range of more specific activities, notably including criteria for risk assessment, socio-economic impact assessment, ways of enhancing ecosystem capacity to resist or recover from alien species invasions, and a reporting system for invasions and spread of invasives.
Incentive measures (COP5 Decision V/15)
27. The Decision requests collaboration with other bodies including IUCN to compile additional information on existing instruments for positive incentives, and on perverse incentives and ways of mitigating their impacts. Paragraph 4. specifically relates to Ramsar:
4. Requests the Executive Secretary to promote coordinated action on incentives with other international biodiversity-related agreements and relevant organizations, noting specifically that the joint work plan 2000-2001 of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention on Wetlands (UNEP/CBD/SBSTTA/5/INF/12) includes consideration of incentive measures.
Indicators (and Monitoring and Assessment) (COP5 Decision V/7)
28. The Decision supports the line taken by SBSTTA5, that the indicators paper prepared by the Executive Secretary did not fully address the requirements of Decision IV/1A. The process has not therefore moved forward, and two papers will be prepared for SBSTTA and COP6, in collaboration with other relevant organizations, bodies and processes:
a) A set of principles for designing national-level monitoring programmes and indicators;
b) A key set of standard questions and a list of available and potential indicators, covering the ecosystem, species and genetic levels, taking into account the ecosystem approach, that may be used by Parties at their national level and in national reporting and that also allow for regional and global overviews on the state and trends of biodiversity and, if possible and appropriate, any responses from policy measures.
29. STRPs work on indicators was planned to pick up and review the CBD outputs for their utility to Ramsar. In view of the delay to the CBD process, STRP9 will now need to consider how best to progress wetland-related indicators and to what extent it might assist in the preparation of the CBD draft guidance on indicators.
Impact Assessment, Liability and Redress (COP5 Decision V/18)
30. Paragraph 4. makes specific reference to STRP (amongst a very wide range of organizations) in relation to the work of CBD SBSTTA:
4. Requests the [SBSTTA] to further develop guidelines for incorporating biodiversity-related issues into legislation and/or processes on strategic environmental assessment and impact assessment, in collaboration with the scientific community, the private sector, indigenous and local communities, non-governmental organizations and relevant organizations at the international, regional, subregional and national levels, such as the Scientific and Technical Review Panel of the Convention on Wetlands, the Scientific Council of [CMS], DIVERISTAS, IUCN, [IAIA] and [UNEP], as well as parties, and further elaborate the application of the precautionary approach and the ecosystem approach, taking into account needs for capacity-building, with a view to completion by the sixth meeting of the Conference of Parties.
Biological Diversity and Tourism (COP5 Decision V/25)
31. No specific reference to Ramsar. Focus (para 2.) is on contributing to UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) international guidelines on sustainable tourism in vulnerable ecosystems (terrestrial, marine and coastal), habitats of major importance for biological diversity and protected areas, including fragile riparian and mountain ecosystems. The Executive Secretary is requested to prepare a proposal for this contribution, e.g., by convening an international workshop.
Sustainable use as a cross-cutting issue (COP5 Decision V/24)
32. Although no specific mention of Ramsar the Decision is of considerable relevance, notably through para 1, which:
"Requests the Executive Secretary to invite organizations involved in sustainable use initiatives and other relevant organizations to gather, compile and disseminate through the clearing-house mechanism and other means, case-studies on best practices and lessons learnt from the use of biological diversity under thematic areas of the Convention, drawing on the experience of Parties, Governments, relevant organizations, the private sector and indigenous and local communities."
And para 3, which
"Requests assembly, in collaboration with relevant organizations, practical principles, operational guidelines and associated instruments, and guidance specific to sectors and biomes, to assist Parties and Governments achieving sustainable use of biological diversity."
33. The preamble also notes the important linkages with the work on indicators and incentive measures.
Education and public awareness (COP5 Decision V/217)
34. A working group of experts, including IUCN, WWF and other relevant bodies will be convened to identify priority activities for the proposed global initiative on biological diversity education and public awareness. This has, therefore, clear parallels with Ramsars Outreach Programme.
Other Decisions
35. These cover:
- Agricultural Biological Diversity (COP5 Decision V/5). Although covered in the Joint Work Plan, there is no specific link to Ramsar contained in the Decision.
- National Reporting (COP5 Decision V/19). The endorsed format is similar to that developed by Ramsar, and will be further developed to make a revised format available to Parties by September 2000.
- Article 8(j) and related provisions (COP5 Decision V/16). Indigenous and local communities. No specific Ramsar link identified but much in the programme of work is relevant to Ramsar and/or on topics related to Ramsars Guidelines. There is potential for linking e.g. on cultural and social impact assessment guidelines.
- Scientific and Technical Cooperation and the Clearing-House Mechanism (COP5 Decision V/14)
- Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (COP5 Decision V/10). Notes the work of GISP and of IUCN-SSC.
- Global Taxonomy Initiative (COP5 Decision V/9)
- Financial Resources and Mechanisms (COP5 Decisions V/11, V/12, V/13)
- Biosafety Protocol (COP5 Decision V/1)
- Other matters: contribution to UNCED 10-year review (COP5 Decision V/27)
- Access to Genetic Resources (COP5 Decision V/26)
- Budget 2001-2002 (COP5 Decision V/22)
- Tribute to Kenya (COP5 Decision V/28)
- Date and venue of COP6 (COP5 Decision V/29). Den Haag, Netherlands, 2nd quarter of 2002.

No free walking tours
It was unfortunate that Vienna does not offer free walking tours (you leave a tip at the end). This is a big miss for the city compared to other European cities.
Vienna is a city full of surprises. For every breathtaking building you expect to see, there are another two beside it that you don't. Due to its passionate relationship with classical music grand theatres and ornate opera houses adorn the city centre, but it is also a city bursting with bars and clubs that would feel at home in the hippest of cities. And while it was the seat of the Habsburg Dynasty for so many years, you can live like a king here without upsetting your bank balance.

It was unfortunate that Vienna does not offer free walking tours (you leave a tip at the end). This is a big miss for the city compared to other European cities.
Vienna is a beautiful city with lots a great sites all within walking distance of each other. The entrance fees are, however, very high for all the buildings and museums.. I did not gopartying or eating out so I scored those as average.
Insider Tip:The Schönbrunn might be 15km out of the city centre but it is definately worth a visit! It is only a short trip with the tube. The gardens were free of admission when we were there.
Vienna has sooo many sights and bars and cafés and clubs to fill your days with. The weather was lovely (mid August). It is slightly more expensive than Eastern Europe but we'll worth the visit.
Insider Tip:You can get a train to Bratislava in Slovakia really easily and only takes an hour! Good for a day trip.
Expensive city. Like extremely expensive city. Your money will not go a long way there. It's nice beause its very clean and pretty, but if you are a broke backpacker like myself I would not recommend more than a few days there
Pretty yes, but I've been to nicer (cheaper) places. Just as Paris makes too much of it's "city of love" status, Vienna makes too much of it's "city of music" status.
Insider Tip:Don't spend any more than 2 days here. Go to Bratislava on the train (1 hour) or boat (4 hours).
With a history spanning over 2,000 years, Vienna has the architecture and attractions to make for the perfect break away. Restaurants serve top quality food, museums to interest everyone and a lively enough nightlife to keep you up until the early hours. All in all, the Austrian capital has something for everyone.Read More »

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City police officer has shot and injured a man police say struck another officer in the face with a wooden cane.
Police say the 27-year-old man was shot in the chest at about 10:35 a.m. Saturday following a confrontation near a Brooklyn subway station.
Police say the man was ordered to stop banging on a patrol car with the cane by two uniformed officers.
They say after a chase, a female officer confronted the unidentified man with her baton. That's when the man struck her in the face with the cane, breaking it in two.
Police say the man moved to hit her again — but the second officer let off a single shot, striking him.
Charges are pending against the man. He was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

FRIDAY, Oct. 11 (HealthDay News) -- The number of Americans getting cataract surgery is on the rise as active baby boomers are getting the procedure earlier and often having both eyes repaired, a new study finds.
"Cataract surgery rates are rising in all age groups between 50 and 90, but the greatest increase is in the 70- and 80-year-olds. And part of that is that our older population, or the aging baby boomers, are working longer, they want to be more active, they have more demands on their vision," study senior author Dr. Jay Erie, a Mayo Clinic ophthalmologist, said in a Mayo news release. "That's why they're looking for surgery sooner -- so that they can remain independent, remain active, continue to work."
The researchers looked at data from a U.S. National Institutes of Health-funded study to determine the number of cataract surgeries in Olmsted County, Minn., between 2005 and 2011.
The findings showed that cataract surgery increased steadily, reaching a rate of 1,100 per 100,000 people in 2011. Sixty percent of people who had cataract surgery on one eye returned within three months to have it performed on the other eye. That's a significant increase from a study that covered 1998 to 2004.
Significant increases in cataract surgery over the past 32 years occurred in all age groups, except among those aged 90 and older. The average annual rate of cataract surgery was much higher for women than for men, according to the study in the Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery.
The researchers said their findings raise questions about treatment costs and the resources needed to meet demand. For example, Medicare typically covers cataract surgery for its patients and cataract surgery on a Medicare patient costs about $3,000 per eye.
"Ophthalmology and ophthalmologists and patients and payers are beginning to look at ways they can weigh the visual benefits to the individual patient against the cost to society as a whole and how can we maximize the outcome and minimize the cost to society?" Erie said.
More information
The American Academy of Ophthalmology has more about cataract surgery.

Mortgage update – August 2014
I wrote a draft mortgage update post in March, summarizing total payoff since I bought my house 2 years ago in March 2012. I was so depressed by how little I have paid off that I never ended up posting it.
I have increased my prepayments even more since then, so maybe it's time to take a quick look back now.
My balance started at 133,039 in March 2012. I paid only 3.5% down, which means in addition to interest, I pay about 125/month in PMI, until I have paid off 22% of the loan.
At the end of March 2013, the loan balance was 130,645. So only 2,394 paid down the first year. Part of the reason for lower-than-desired payment is that I was still paying off some student loans during that first year.
In May 2013, the PMI charge dropped to 123/month.
At the end of March 2014, the mortgage balance was at 122,436. Total pay down in the second year: 8,209.
PMI was lowered to 120/month in May 2014.
Since March, I've paid off another 3,941. I'm hoping to pay off about 10,000 in year 3.
Once the balance reaches about 103,000, and I get rid of the PMI, I may start just paying the minimum monthly payment, and enjoying the low interest rate of 3.75%--but that's a decision for 2016.
Republic Wireless review
So, I have had my Republic Wireless plan for a little over a year now, and I'm currently in the process of canceling the service. I signed up for the plan because I was on a voice-only plan with Verizon Wireless (about $30/month on the family plan) and I wanted a phone I could get my e-mail on when traveling for work. Instead of upgrading my Verizon plan to a data plan, I decided to try Republic Wireless, which offered (at the time) plans as low as $25/month for unlimited voice and data. My plan was to try out this cheap new option, and then cancel my Verizon plan once I assured myself that it was worth it.
Poor voice service
Unfortunately, despite positive reviews from other sources, I found Republic Wireless to have utterly unacceptable voice service. People on the other end of the call frequently complained of echo problems, and every time I dialed my mother, it would immediately drop the first call when she picked up, and I would have to call a second time to get through. Every time. When I began trying to apply for jobs last autumn, the people on the other end of the call frequently complained that they could not hear me, due to poor reception on my end. So I couldn't get rid of the Verizon phone as long as I needed consistent, quality phone calls.
Poor text messaging service
It was good for internet use and text messaging--I thought. But then I realized that people were sending me text messages that I wasn't getting. Sometimes I never received them. Sometimes I received them two weeks later. Once, my friend texted me to let me know she was going on a blind date with a guy from the internet, so that I would know to check up on her later. It wasn't helpful to get that text message five days after the date occurred!
The second unacceptable issue related to text messaging was that the phone cannot receive text messages from short numbers. This means it cannot receive that additional layer of verification you might get asked for when logging into your bank for example, where they text you the security code.
Decent internet, but not worth it for just an internet connection
And the internet, while it served its purpose generally quite well (which is why I have kept the phone for a year), wouldn't work almost my entire vacation on the west coast, because it was supposedly out of range. It also frequently crashed while in the middle of navigating around cities I had to drive in for work.
In the end, the cost to add a data plan to my voice plan on Verizon is only $30/month in addition to the voice plan I was already paying for, whereas the Republic Wireless fee for me to use an inferior device with internet is $35/month. It's just not worth it.
Poor device
At the time I bought into Republic Wireless, the only phone available was the Motorola Defy. I do like that this phone is pretty rugged, and I've dropped it several times with no ill effects. However, I have about 3 apps installed on it, and it's constantly saying its out of memory. The battery life is dismal. When using the phone at home or in an office, this isn't such an issue since you can always charge it. But short battery life is a struggle when you're traveling. I wouldn't use any apps or make any calls, but by the time I arrived at my destination, there wouldn't be enough battery left to use navigation to get to my hotel.
In addition, the phone takes terrible photos. When choosing my new phone, I went for the device that would take good photos, so I can (like everyone else has been doing with their iPhones for years now) easily upload good quality photos to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media sites.
Sticking with Verizon
I can only think that all of those people with positive experiences are living in a different place where the call quality is better. But I live in Atlanta, GA, which is by no means a small city! So today I finally went through the hassle of upgrading my Verizon phone to a smartphone with a data plan, and I am excited to say goodbye to my Republic Wireless days! And I'm excited to get started using a "real" cell phone -- the HTC One (M8).
I totally forgot this huge issue -- a couple of months ago, Republic Wireless accidentally changed the voice mail phone number dialed when you click the "retrieve voice mail" option. Somehow they couldn't not change everyone back, so users had to manually follow steps to repair this. How unprofessional! Of course, I'm far too lazy to go and fix this, since most of my calls don't come to this phone, but I haven't been able access voice messages on this device for months. Quel domage!
What do you value in a job?
When I was job hunting, I realized that I really don't have a good sense of my own values. That is to say - I was motivated to switch careers in order to have a better work life balance, or at least less stress. However, I would hear about jobs at the big companies - Verizon, Home Depot, Coca Cola, and suddenly I'd be thinking "Maybe I should be working there, really getting something recognizable on my resume, really getting some good work experience..." even though to have big "success" at big companies, I expect you would need to work long hours, really make career the central focus of your life, to the detriment of other parts of your life. Maybe this is a misconception on my part, but I'm competitive enough that I'd spend all my time competing my way to the top at a bigger firm, rather than just enjoying the job.
I very much like the job I ended up choosing, which is at an early-growth stage company. There are lots of opportunities for me to shape the department that I work within. Being a smaller company, I also get to do a wide variety of tasks, and I'm pretty good at finding new projects that need to get done, if I ever run out of things to do!
But ten years from now, this company is going to be a very different place. It might even get sold to new owners somewhere along the way! It's probably a safe bet that this will not be the company I work at for the rest of my career. And next time I'm looking for work, I don't want to feel so conflicted and confused about what I'm looking for in a job.
I've signed up for an interesting looking MOOC, called "Enhance Your Career and Employability Skills" from the University of London. Yesterday was Day 1 of the course, which seems like it will consist of lots of tools to use to help one think more critically about careers. It will also address topics such as networking and self-presentation -- I'm interested to see what they have to teach in these areas, since this isn't something that is traditionally "taught" at university, but also doesn't feel like the kind of thing that can be taught.
I always love to hear about how peoples' careers progressed from their first job to their current job - most people seem to end up in jobs they never could have predicted having when they were a fresh new graduate from college!
Memorial day photo stroll
Turns out that it's a bit tricky taking photos while walking the dog on a holiday. People kept sneaking up behind us. Not too happy with the set of shots today, but here they are:
Shady sidewalks are a must-have during the summer. Above, some dogwoods keep the sun off this patch of sidewalk.
A little weed growing in the community garden.
A head of green lettuce in the community garden. Our own lettuce at home is not nearly this far along. Maybe next year will be when we finally plant them early enough!
Taking the camera out to get shots of the same area of the neighborhood is probably a good experience in itself - trying not to get the same shot every time. I'm focusing on composition more than anything else, but also trying to get a better handle on the effects of adjusting the F-stop etc, etc.
Recommendations 05-18-2014
"In A World . . . "
Movie written and directed by Lake Bell (also the lead actress) about voice over actors. Also has an adorable love story. I know, this came out in 2013, but I hadn't heard of it before my boyfriend suggested it, so if you haven't seen it yet, it's a good one.
"Champion Rose"
Fantasy novel by Andrea K Host. Strong story line about a King and his Champion, who are more controlled by their country's enchanted magical defenses than they would like to be. Also, the writer is pretty heavy into emphasizing alternative relationships being the norm, and making sure characters which would typically be men are played by women.
"Children of the Desert"
Fantasy series set in a desert culture by Leona Wisoker. I read books one and two ("Secrets of the Sand" and "Guardians of the Desert") a couple of years ago, and remember thinking that they were awesome. I have a soft spot for fantasy set in desert cultures (like The Hero and the Crown). Last week, I realized that it had been quite a while since I read the first books in the series, and decided to check Amazon to see if another book had come out in the series. It turns out that the 3rd and 4th books are both out, however, not currently carried in most book stores, as unfortunately the original publisher has gone out of business. In the meantime, you can find the books at a reasonable price at The Scribbling Lion.
Quick poll: Who likes flow charts?
I've been making myself some flow charts at work to make sure I know all the steps in some key processes. The thing is, I find the process of making flow charts to be very helpful, but I don't actually find reading flow charts made by other people to be helpful. The process of setting every step out in the chart helps me realize when there's a step I'm skipping - how exactly does the invoice go from the mail to being matched up with the P.O. and shipping documents, before getting handed to me? But a diagram created by someone else is hard for my brain to follow.
So, are there people out there who do find it helpful to see a flowchart of a process, even if that chart was created by someone else?
I ask because I would like to create a really strong set of procedural documents for my new position, because:
- in case I were to leave the company, it would be a helpful reference for my successor, as well as a nice guide for me to use when training them (so I wouldn't forget to explain key points)
- as the company grows, we will eventually hire another accountant or two to work under me, and I think having a clear set of processes will really help see what the duties of the new accountants can and should be, and again, help me training them, and help them as a reference guide.
Weekend photo stroll
I'm working on learning how to take better shots with our camera, so I'm trying to fit little photo shoots into my schedule more often. (Otherwise, if I only get the camera out a couple of times a year on vacation, I forget how to use it well!) This time of year - with everything green and growing - is so great after being cooped up inside for a long busy season. Here are some shots I took walking around the neighborhood yesterday:
Knock-out roses - not my favorite kind of rose, but they love the weather here.
Phlox is one of my favorites - my yard is too shady for it, sadly, but there's plenty of it around to enjoy in the neighbors' yards!
Spirea (I think?)
Iris - Very pretty - also, very hardy and easy to grow in the area.
Things 2014-04-10
Something cool:
Speaking with Dolphins - I was fascinated by Denise Herzing's Ted talk on her research team's attempt to speak with dolphins. They explain in the linked article that they think they were able to teach one "human" word to the dolphins.
Something sad:
Professors more likely to respond to white male student emails - or at least, students who have a typical white male name.
This photographer's project is to show how beautiful all shapes of women are - this series focuses on recent mothers (contains nudity!)
Changing of the guard
For anyone who has been reading along the last couple of months, it may come as no surprise that I've decided to move out of public accounting and into industry. I have less than a week before my last day in public and my first day at the new place.
Unfortunately for the firm, in addition to the two manager-level people who left right before busy season, and the one who left at the end of March, we had yet another announce their departure at the same time as mine. I'm not quite at that level yet, but the vacuum left in their wake would have meant a lot of opportunities for me. This also almost convinced me to stay, but by the time I knew about it, I had already made my decision.
The folks at the CPA firm have really put forth an effort to convince me to stay, which leads to moments of me wondering if I should regret the move, or if things would be different if I had stayed longer. But to be honest, currently it's hard to maintain a regretful mindset - it just feels like the right thing to do. Even if it turns out I hate the new place, I think the whole process of going out, finding a new job, seeing what a different company is like to work for will give me a valuable life experience -- and the work experience I'll gain is substantial as well.
I'm looking forward to the opportunity to use the financial accounting which is what you really learn about in an accounting degree, and I hope to see other areas where I can step up and develop new skills.
I read two articles today, aimed at young CPA's in particular, but most likely valid to many young workers my age.
The first article is aimed at CPA firms, listing steps that firms can take to make sure that millennials (those born between 1978 to 1994) are engaged at work, in order to entice them to continue working for your CPA firm, instead of looking for greener pastures. The article mentions that this age group is expected to make up over 75% of the workforce in about 10 years time.
The second article was directed at young CPA's, and was a short article on how to be a "can-do" person at work (do your work well, volunteer to help with other tasks, have a positive attitude.) The writer of the article hopes that young professionals who follow this advice will find themselves with better opportunities at the office, and the respect of those in power.
For the last 3 years, I have been that young CPA, doing my best to complete everything assigned to me, and find time for a few extra opportunities I can volunteer for. And when it comes time for our annual reviews, management expresses to me that they appreciate this.
But this year, it has become an ever more difficult juggling act. My assigned responsibilities are greater, it's harder to get everything done to various partners' satisfaction, my ability to volunteer to help out with other tasks has diminished as I feel constantly behind on my assigned responsibilities. And in the face of what feels like constant disappointment from not meeting expected timelines, my attitude is beginning to suffer too.
On one hand, I don't think that I'm really disappointing the partners by taking 2 weeks to finalize a job that they hoped would take 4 days. In the end, the job was done by the deadline, and last year it took us 3 weeks to finalize! However, I don't feel like I'm doing a great job either. And I find the lack of an internal feeling of accomplishment to result in a significant decrease in motivation.
I believe this is the disengagement that the first article is warning firms about, but frankly, management at my firm doesn't seem to be concerned about how employees are feeling. If you stay, you stay, if you go, you go, and they don't seem to think they have much influence on that.

|collaboration - check out this guy's stuff
Storybird.comHi, everyone. I've opened up an artist account in Storybird.com. Here is my URL: http://storybird.com/julius-tan/Storybird.com by joulester
I've posted up some artwork there that I've been working on these past few weeks. I will be uploading some more in time to come. Feel free to take a look, and have a great week.
- Julius
Just a person who is deep into fantasy and science fiction ideas, hoping to influence people in creativity and vice versa.
Oh and I love blowing up stuff (in art!!).
I do this for fun - because life should be.
However, if anyone wants any commissions done - Please let me know.
The going Rates are thus -
£10+ For a Planet or simple space backdrop
£15+ For a single ship in space, air, or clear backdrop
£30+ For a complicated scene - i.e. mech battles, space battles, intense enviroments, something technical and unusual.
These may sound steep but decent people have paid for these services.
Thank you for your time
Normally I keep my journals dedicated to simple topics – always related to art on this site, and any feedbacks I request for. I keep my journal free of topics, issues, and anything media relative, mainly because I feel that it's repeating what is being said, only with a smaller voice – think whisper in the wind and you have an idea of what I mean…
However, a recent series of events has now made me write this journal on the topic and I would love to hear from any of you thoughts on this matter.
At present in the UK – mainly England, there have been a lot of high profile investigations, allegations, and even convictions surrounding what is known as Historical Child Abuse.
This, (to those who do not reside in the UK) all started from revelations about the deceased individual, one Jimmy Savile; Mr Savile was a prominent charity raiser, figurehead for humanitarian causes, and a television/radio presenter. During the sixties and the seventies, he hosted world famous shows like Top of the Pops, and Jim'll Fix it. He was famous for his eccentric behaviour and charity work, raising thousands for organisations like Great Ormond Street Hospital and Stoke Manderville. He even gained a knighthood for his sterling work in that field.
It later emerged after his death that Jimmy Saville was a notorious paedophile, and abuser of the infirm, sick, and especially of children, even necrophilia. However, the man got away with what has been classed as fifty plus decades of brutal atrocities to such victims.
As a result that this man "escaped" justice for what have described as a series of monstrous and savage barbaric crimes against children, the defenceless, and the infirm, the government launched Operation Yewtree to investigate any celebrities and personalities in that era, involved in such matters, and especially any associated with 'Sir' Jimmy.
One such person was caught, convicted and sentenced; the "artist", charity fund raiser, and singer – Rolf Harris. Rolf was a friend of Jim's and even went to the same places abuses occurred. Victims came forward to explain what he had done, evidence was mounted and despite threats from his team of lawyers, he was exposed and convicted despite being 80 plus in age.
So why am I telling you all this?
This is why.
Although dead, all evidence of Jim's existence are being erased – this includes films, videos, and any memorabilia featuring or starring him. Even in an episode of "Only Fools and Horses" his name has been cut out of a scene.
As a result of his conviction, Rolf has suffered the same fate; Australia, his homeland has shunned his name, his art has disappeared and have become worthless, and his millions now turned into possible compensation for his victims.
Yet there are people who have done sinister things too but are still touted in our history – two examples; Osama Bin Laden, and Hitler. Look what they inspired to occur – the loss of numerous lives.
The dangerous thing is this – we are trying to erase these paeodo creeps from our history, our culture, and even out of our lives but I feel that this is setting a dangerous president – in the course of protecting the victims by no longer giving these villains air time, history is being altered.
SO the questions are these – should we erase/alter the pass to calm and 'honour' the victims? Or should we keep their names alive to make us remember to be vigilant and determined so such thing are caught in time, the wicked are punished, and that it never happens again?

>:( No Gun Reviews Yet, Grrrr.
So I finished it, and slid it into the harness on my old jeans that Frank gave me.
I packed my duffel begs, and slid them over my arms, in a criss cross form. I took my other gun off the counter, and put it the holster, squeezing it in. I walked to the door and hissed, the pain exploded in me, but I had to leave. I had to.
I opened the door, and Cyanide was passed out by it, he was obviously a heavy sleeper, so I sat by him for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I'm so, so, so sorry." I whispered.
"Never coming home, never coming home…." I herd someone softly sing.
It was my uncle, and he was sobbing, I lightly went around the trans am, he sat there with an half bottle of liquor, bloodshot eyes and a ray gun to his head.
"DON'T!" I yelled and tackled him; he yelped and wrestled me off to get the gun that slid under the car. "NO!" I yelled, pushing him down, I herd footsteps running toward us.
"GERARD?!" Someone yelled, someone grabbed me by the waist and pulled me off, Gerard went for the gun. I wrestled out of the guys grip and dived for the gun, getting there a second before he did, and then rolled onto my back. He let out a weird sound and collapsed. He was kneeling on his knees, and then he glared at me, he then fully blacked out.
Ray stood there for a second, he looked between me and the bottle of alcohol, he sighed.
"It's not yours is it?" He said, knowing the answer. I shook me head. While Ray stared at Gerard, I stood up and took the bottle of liquor and chugged it, the burning felt good.
Ray then picked him up and walked to the diner. I picked up my bags, then I followed, stumbling.
"Errrrrrrg." Gerard groaned, and I laid next to him. Ray looked at us disapprovingly.
I drifted off to sleep.
I awoke, and ran to the bathroom and barfed, someone tsked from behind me, I turned, Frank was behind me. He gave me a look, my head was pounding, and I let out a low growl and wiped my mouth.
"Why did you drink it?" Frank asked softly, I growled. I stood up and stormed by him.
"I can do whatever I like!" I said, he growled now.
"Then look at your uncle! He's blacked out now! Lord knows how long this has been going on! He's supposed to be the leader Ciara! He can't do that if he's out! Please, don't." He said. I growled, but it wasn't low. He stepped back, and pain shot through my back.
Ray jumped in the room, there were shots everywhere, Cyanide and Dad came running for me, and I rolled over and reached for my guns.
They weren't there, I looked around, and they must have fallen out when I wrestled with Gerard last night. My eyes went wide; different Killjoys were in the room shooting at us. I hoped up, to everyone's surprise, my back was in so much pain.
I ran towards Gerard, and grabbed his gun that was by him, I stood there and shot at people, while protecting him.
He was vulnerable, asleep, and…the leader. Fury raced through me, someone ran at me, I raised my leg; they ran into my foot. They fell, and I kicked them until they were out.
I raised my head, someone shot at my and it hit my arm. I yelped but kept shooting. Frank sent a glance my way, and someone shot at him, I jumped in front of him, and got a shot to my chest, sending me into a chair, but I leapt up, the pain making me dizzy.
I shot everyone but my people. I jumped on the back of one of them, and made them fall. I used the back of the gun and rammed it over and over onto there scull. I jumped to my feet when I saw blood.
I looked around; people were running out, one leapt behind the couch. I leapt over gErard (Who was on the couch) and landed on them.
There eyes went wide as I set the gun to there head, there gun was across the floor. There eyes filled with tears. I shut my eyes and pulled the trigger. I felt them go limp under me and I stood. I was breathing heavy.
I stood up straight and I saw Frank lock the door. I backed away from the body, and into the center of the room, still dizzy from the pain, but it could be the shock. I ran to Gerard, I sat by him, which also hurt, and shook him. He woke up, and ran to the bathroom. I shivered, and sat back on the couch.
I saw people moving bodies, and Frank taking stuff out of pockets. I saw Dad looking after Gerard, and Cyanide over Rosie, she was shaking, and tears in her eyes, her arm got blasted.
Ray was the one helping move bodies, I felt weird. "Dad?" I called out, he came over to me.
"Hun, did you get shot?" He asked, looking at me. I nodded my head, but said.
"There's someone behind the couch." He nodded and lightly hugged me.
"You weren't supposed to see that, not at all get shot, but…" He trailed off looking out the window. I looked out there to, Leslie, was lying outside, eyes closed.
I pushed Dad away and ran out there, Dad screaming to come back. Cyanide tried to chase after me, but stopped in his tracks when he saw his brother. I knelt by him, he had a slow pulse, I set my mouth on his and did CPR, then his eyes flew open. "Oh god…" He whispered, "I'm sorry!" He said, I nodded, then picked him up. Cyanide was smiling, but Frank held him back. I walked back inside slowly and painfully. Cyanide must have noticed.
"C, are you okay?" He said.
"Yes, go help your brother." I said, fake smiling. He scowled.
"No. I'm going to help you." He said, Leslie was smiling and drinking some water.
"No, I can manage!" I protested, but he scowled and moved closer. I scowled and led him to the bathroom, sat on the counter and took my shirt off. I covered my chest with my arms, he giggled.
Deh Ja Vue.
I blacked out half way through, only because he numbed the pain with some sleeping pills though.
I put back on my shirt, and walked to the kitchen, I herd soft talking from the living room, everyone was sitting, or standing around an expressionless Gerard.
"Guys, I don't know why she was fighting me!" He protested, crossing his arms, then when he saw me pleading with his eyes. I felt sorry for him.
"Let me see your wrist Gee…" Frank mumbled, scuffing his feet on the floor.
"No." Gerard said with an horrified expression. Frank sighed.
"That's all I needed to hear Gerard, you have to go back!" Frank yelled, tears welled in Cyanide's eyes.
"No! I won't go back! Fine, I've been cutting! But I'm not suicidal! Tell them Ciara!" He begged me, I gulped.
"What do you mean by going back?!" I asked, terror went across his features.
"Back to Battery City, so I can get help." He whispered, tears streaming down his face.
"Yes, he was trying to kill himself. No, he is NOT going back." I yelled, more like shrieked and ran over to him. Cyanide looked at me with a look.
"If he goes, so will i! How could you do that!" I yelled, fury in every pore of my body.
"Move C." Leslie growled.
"NO!" I yelled.
"Please?!" Ray pleaded.
"He's not going anywhere! HE'S THE LEADER! Right Frank?" I asked, Frank turned to me, tears on his cheeks.
"How can he lead being like that?" He whispered, I wrapped my arms around Gerard, and he cried into my shoulder.
"I swear to god, he will not go!" I said.
Gerard pushed me off. "They don't belive in god." He said, standing up and wrapping his arms around Cyanide.
"Besides kid, you'll be the leader while I'm gone, I saw you fight. Well, it was blurry, but I saw…you'll be better than me," He chocked out, Dad looked towards me, his pocker face gleaming, I grabbed Gerard's gun and my bags from last night and marched outside, were I hoped on the old Harley.
"Were are you going?" Cyanide asked.
"Not Battery City, that's why I'm leaving. Besides, I can't lead. I'm a failure." I whispered, then started the bike.
I want to say I rode out into the sunset, but in the desert.
That's not possible.

All That Glitters Is Gold—and Red—Backstage At YSL
After a last-minute change to the beauty look last season at Yves Saint Laurent, in which all traces of Pat McGrath's original vivid purple lip were erased in favor of a glossy nude mouth, we were hesitant to vacate the backstage premises out of fear that we'd miss all the eleventh-hour action. But McGrath's Ann Bonfoey Taylor-meets-Talitha Getty, "couture collector" look for Spring stayed intact, from the second she bleached brows and slicked on a metallic red lip until the curtain closed on Stefano Pilati's collection. "It's different and very brave," McGrath said of the look, which married Getty's signature, sixties black liner application—that favored black kohl rimmed lids with a thick and heavy point on the outer corners—with a made-to-order mouth, which featured a crimson foil finish rather than boring old matte or glossy. "It's time to change things up a little," McGrath said—a dare that hairstylist Guido Palau was ready to accept. Rather than create a simple, textured chignon, the Redken creative consultant was also game to think outside the box. Prepping strands with Redken Satinwear 02 Ultimate Blow Dry Lotion, Palau teased hair at the root to give it a "little lift" before tucking front sections behind the ears and gathering lengths into a low ponytail that he twisted into a messy bun. Then came the segmented gold hoops, which encased each knot and resembled the biggest door-knocker earrings we've ever seen. "Stefano had them made," Palau said of Pilati's gilded ornaments, which imparted a slight forties feel, but not intentionally. Those bleached arches and a modern nude nail courtesy of Yves Saint Laurent La Laque #2 Beige kept it from veering too far off into retro territory.
