In conjunction with Concerts SA, the DaniMali Quintet, led by saxophonist extraordinaire Nhlanhla Mahlangu, will enthrall listeners at Niki's Oasis in Newtown this Friday, 22 January.
Nhlanhla Daniel Mahlangu hails from Mamelodi East. His first encounter with music was in 2003 at an orphanage (SOS), where an art project was run on weekends in correspondence with the UNISA community engagement and outreach program.
Mahlangu's first exposure to jazz came through the records of Nat King Cole and the then Dollar Brand. By the age of 16, Mahlangu had picked up the saxophone and, almost from the moment the first he started playing, it was apparent he had a talent for it. The young musician loved to imitate the sounds of Charlie Parker and Manenberg Coetzee.
One of the earliest ensembles Mahlangu played in was led by Yonela Mnana. Later he met and started working with Nduduzo Makhathini's band, where the young musician began to fully explore his experimental side of modal music and recorded as a sideman.
Mahlangu reflects on the music the group is producing: "The music for this project is focused a lot at bringing more colours from different genres. We are still addressing the question, or rather the subject matter, of identity and human relations. What we hope to achieve with this material is gain more insight on the identity of our people in South Africa now and how we relate to one another. The idea is to use the music as a medium to spark conversations about the afore mentioned subjects and hopefully find common ground especially among races and tribes, so to speak, issues that affect them negatively and positively".Be part of this unifying experience!
DaniMali Quintet Features:
Nhlanhla Mahlangu on Saxophone (Band Leader)
Nhlanhla Radebe on Bass
Lungile Kunene on Drums
Ntando Ngcapu on Piano

Busch Will Not Attempt 2016 Indy 500
March 23, 2016 | 4:27 P.M. EST
"I must say this was not an easy decision and it does not in any way reflect upon my desire to compete again in one of the world's greatest races."
"I wanted to state that I will not be participating in this year's 100th running of the Indianapolis 500," Busch wrote in a statement on his personal website, KurtBusch.com. "I must say this was not an easy decision and it does not in any way reflect upon my desire to compete again in one of the world's greatest races; it is based solely on a need to maintain the focus and momentum we have built early in this NASCAR season with our No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing, Haas Automation/Monster Energy Chevy team – hopefully all the way to Homestead and the championship weekend."
Busch drove for Andretti Autosport in the 2014 Indy 500 and finished sixth.
"My experience with Andretti Autosport and its drivers was so very positive and the way in which the IndyCar fans and media welcomed me, it is undoubtedly one of the highlights of my career both personally and professionally. Fortunately, Michael and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway have left the door open for a future run, and perhaps one day I will take them up on that, it just won't be this year."

Last week I said "yes to God" in response to a #saywhat moment. If you visited here last week from the Say Yes to God Blog Hop you will remember that God had asked me to offer my custom graphics and video to the Say Yes to God community to use for free. It was a very exciting moment for me and I couldn't wait to see what God would do. The idea of using my gifts to help anyone know God better, or find Him electrifies me like nothing else. (I won't go into all of the details of what God and I are still offering. Please read my entire post here.) I kept checking my comments in hopes of finding someone wanting me to make a the a custom chalkboard or whiteboard video. I got comments of encouragement, which was, well, encouraging, but no one asked me to help them with graphics. I have to say I was disappointed and somewhat confused. But, the thing that I know is that I said yes to God when He asked! I have no question that I heard God right. I have no question that I answered correctly, and there is great freedom in knowing that I did the right thing. The offer still stands as I am still saying "yes to God". Who knows what God will do? I am doing the harder thing now-waiting.
I did not plan to write this particular post this morning. I had other ideas. But God knocked me off of my feet this morning. God caught me right about at mile 3 of my run and completely changed my idea, my day, and maybe a whole lot more. I am soooo excited to share with you what God said to me this morning!
If you are visiting from the #YesToGod Blog Hop you will understand #saywhat. If not…I am participating in an online Bible study based on a book by Lysa Terkeurst, What Happens When Women Say Yes To God. One of the things that we have talked about is those times when God speaks to us and we have a "say what?" moment with God. I had one this morning!
So here we go…You should be able to tell from the title of my blog that I love working with graphics. I am all about photoshop. God has made it very clear to me that I am supposed to be using my abilities in graphics and video for His glory. I started this website in hopes of doing just that. Sharing the gift He has given me.
About three months ago another blogger began downloading some of my images to use on her blog. God asked me to offer to make custom images for her. I THOUGHT that this was my #saywhat moment. When I originally began Scripturesque Graphics, I had hoped to make enough money to cover the cost of my blog and possibly a little extra. But, God was asking me to give my graphics as a gift to my new friend. This has been a humbling experience for me as I have been super-blessed with a new sister in the Lord and been able to participate in her ministry. That was actually the start of my bigger #saywhat moment, which came this morning at mile 3.
This is what God said to me…offer your custom graphics to the What Happens When Women Say Yes To God Community. I DID say, "say what?" to God! But then I finished my run in what felt like record time, because I was so excited to get back to my computer to tell you! So here is the offer that God and I have…I will make custom graphics, whiteboard videos, chalkboards, and scripture videos for any of you. If you are able and want to offer to help support my site, I will be thankful, but if not, I just ask that you bless someone with my work. Just like Lysa's story about her Bible and her words being passed along to person after person, I think God is asking me to pass my graphics and video to you, to pass on to others.
You can see some of my work in the slider at the top of this post. Feel free to look around my site to see more.
This morning I am saying YES to God. I have no idea what He is going to do with my yes, but I am waiting expectantly. If you would like to reach me you can leave a comment below or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Much Joy and Much Grace
P.S. If you are curious about a whiteboard video, click here is an example

If Putin is a thug, what is Erdogan?
by Don Hank
A reader forwarded an email exchange between him and a friend who repeats the refrain that Putin is a "thug." The reader wanted to know how I would answer this friend. I responded as follows.
Western commentators and politicians like to call Putin a thug, based on suppositions and suspicions.
However, when we evaluate human character, since no one is perfect, the conclusion cannot be absolute. To be valid and fair, it must therefore be relative – relative, that is, to other people who are their peers. In this case, to make the evaluation relevant and useful, we would have to compare Putin with a comparable peer or peers among Western allies – in analogy to the use of a control group in scientific studies. Otherwise, if Putin is no more a thug than a US ally is, it would be unfair to Putin and a clear cut sign of Russophobia to call Putin a thug but not others who exhibit similar or worse behavior. But Russophobia is racism, and racists is not who we are – or are we?
Since we are living in the here and now, the only fair evaluation would be a comparison with a comparable peer, say, Turkish president Erdogan, whose country is a NATO member. If we could demonstrate that Putin is more of a thug than Erdogan, then we could perhaps validly call Putin a thug.
In other words, to conclude Putin is a thug would be to conclude that Erdogan is not a thug, or at least that he is significantly less of a thug, since our elites never call Erdogan a thug.
After all, evaluations of foreign leaders are made to assemble useful pragmatic evidence for use in forging foreign policies vis-a-vis the foreign leader in question. It's a matter of national security.
In the case of Putin, perhaps the most important issue is:
Can we trust Putin enough to cooperate with him, say, in Syria?
Let us just examine this one issue to keep it simple.
Now the internet is awash with reports that Erdogan, via his son Bilal, is buying and selling Syrian oil stolen by ISIS. While complete verification is not yet possible, it is nonetheless certain that there is a thriving oil smuggling business in Turkey and it would be impossible for this to be going on under Erdogan's nose without him knowing it. A very well-documented report is here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-l-phillips/research-paper-turkey-isi_b_8808024.html.
This suggests 2 things right off the bat:
1—Erdogan's government is complicit in criminal activity – specifically dealing in stolen goods — a felony.
2—By virtue of the above, Erdogan's government is a terror supporter and specifically, it supports ISIS, a terror group with which we are at war – or rather We the People are at war with ISIS. Our government is not seriously engaging ISIS on their Syrian turf (thus Obama by his negligence is exposing the people to harm).
So while we may or may not trust Putin, we certainly can see that there is no reason whatsoever to trust Erdogan, particularly in Syria. Further, no one has found credible evidence that Russia supports ISIS or buys ISIS oil. And yet the US Establishment has declared Erdogan an ally in the fight against ISIS and very few Western journalists have protested – even though many of them do protest against cooperating with Putin, who is not buying ISIS oil.
Now comparing Erdogan (and in part, Obama – though he is beyond our narrow scope here) with Putin, we see right away that Putin is fighting ISIS. Our Neocon press is pretending this is not true, but we can easily see that ISIS certainly feels attacked by Russia because when Russia started bombing ISIS targets, ISIS claimed responsibility for the Russian plane downing over Sinai, as reported here http://www.ibtimes.com/isis-group-claims-responsibility-downed-russian-plane-officials-say-malfunction-2163917. (BTW, Turkey had focused its investigation on ISIS in a deadly bombing attack in Ankara months ago but ISIS did not claim responsibility as they normally do, suggesting that Turkey was grasping at straws in an effort to make its alleged opposition to ISIS seem plausible:
"Though no group has claimed responsibility for the deadly weekend bombings in Ankara, the focus of the investigation is the Islamic extremist group ISIS, Turkey's Prime Minister said Monday.")
One might contend, however, that the bombing of Syrian hospitals and schools was thuggish, and Putin has been blamed in the Western press for this. But there are several drawbacks to this contention. For one thing, the culprits in the bombing have not been proven to be the Russians, and in fact, the US has also been fingered in this bombing. Further, the Russians have absolutely nothing to gain by bombing civilian facilities, and there therefore is no plausible motive for the Russians, whereas the anti-Russian West has plenty of motive to have done this and pinned it on the Russians.
But thuggishness in foreign leaders also includes bullying and strongarming one's own people.
Has Putin ever been proved to have bullied his people?
Despite the kangaroo court in the UK where Putin was found "probably" guilty of ordering the murder of Litvinenko, a detailed analysis of the British investigation procedure shows that it was not in keeping even with British law: http://thesaker.is/the-litvinenko-inquiry-londons-absurd-show-trial/ and that there is no such legal precept as "probable guilt." It is clearly a politically motivated verdict.
There have been an unfortunate number of journalists murdered or suspected to have been murdered in Russia but no link has been established with the government, although some victims were opponents of Putin. However, some of these victims in fact had ties to the underworld while others had run afoul of Chechen Muslims and were apparently killed by terrorists. None of the victims were serious threats to the Putin administration and no strong motive could be established.
Most went unsolved.
In stark contrast to this, it is well known that Erdogan muzzled journalists just before the last presidential election and also has jailed journalists. Erdogan is known to have ordered these thuggish actions, as reported here
"Turkish police on Sunday launched a series of arrests of journalists and other media workers – including the editor of the country's biggest-selling daily paper – as a purge of opponents of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan worsened."
So whereas Putin is only suspected by already anti-Russian governments of having been a thug, Erdogan perpetrated his thuggishness openly and therefore, no investigation is necessary to establish his culpability.
So while the Western political class, press and blogosphere routinely call Putin a thug, and never call Erdogan a thug, we can say that a gross injustice is being done against Putin by highly Russophobic Western officials and politicians.
We could also make a similar comparison with Mohammed bin Salman al Saud, the deputy Saudi crown prince, who recently had 46 people executed, including 4 Shiite leaders. The dominant Saudi sect, ie, Wahhabism, the most intolerant Muslim sect, teaches that non-Sunnis, including Christians, deserve the death penalty. The Saudis founded and sponsor Al-Qaeda and ISIS while claiming they oppose these groups. Killing people for their religious faith is thuggishness by any measure.
Yet Western political "leaders" and commentators never call Mohammed bin Salman a thug and the press that they virtually control also gives him a pass, even while keeping the pressure against Putin high. But why wouldn't they? Washington has been sending arms to Al-Nusra for years, and the other name for that group is "Al-Qaeda in Syria." So the Neocons are arming and funding the group that took down the Twin Towers. Yes, it serves their purposes to make Russia look bad.
Clearly, in calling Putin a thug while giving true thugs like Erdogan and Salman a pass, the Western elites are relying on their peoples' lack of analytical ability and the residual anti-Russian sentiment left over from the Cold War, which, thanks to the tireless propaganda efforts of these elites, is now raging once more, even threatening to become a hot war.
Going back to our question whether we can trust Putin to cooperate with us in Syria, it looks like he is the only one we really can trust to be effectively fighting ISIS, even as the other "allies" seem to be supporting ISIS by their inaction, by supporting them financially and by opposing the most effective adversaries of ISIS.
Is this effectiveness in defeating ISIS not in fact the reason behind all the slander of Putin by the Establishment?

A bit of bounce
Ginseng and vitamin B12 = Zebedee.
Not the biblical father of James and John but that weird boinging thing from the Magic Roundabout.
Whatever - I seem to have boundless energy.
Since taking the magic medicine I have been bouncing out of bed early doors every day and actually doing more than just making a cup of tea and sloping back off up the stairs.
Yesterday I decided to make a start on my new website. I started, finished and published it within a couple of hours. Not sure if that means I am quick or I've rushed and made a ball's up.
It's only four pages - and there isn't a huge amount of copy. So maybe that's why.
It took me way longer today to set up a corresponding Facebook page. I had to keep taking a break. It's that frustrating.
This morning I went for a chat with a lady at Dunham. About how I can put some of my skills to good use supporting a project for 11-24 year olds. She must have had a good feeling about me before I arrived as she'd already done me a badge. Either that or she is just bloody desperate for some help. Either way - I am more than happy to give some of my time.
She asked why I wanted to volunteer. Easy:
Number 3 is way up as an important reason. I have a little mini fight with myself every day. "Stay away from the job pages...step away from LinkedIn" etc. I need to have a proper break from Financial Services.
And anyway. If my wedding photography thing takes off...I can carry on volunteering, and baking, and going for long walks and playing Candy Crush to my heart's content.
So - today's photo..screenshot of my new website
It's been one hell of a week.
We started off in a cottage in Grizedale - not far from Hawkshead. One of our favourite, relaxing spots. Down a private road with no passing tourist traffic (apart from the occasional cyclist who can't read).
On Monday I had a message from my Joe saying he had gone to A&E with chest pains. Then another, early in the afternoon, to say he was fine and had been sent home.
I decided that as my nerves were already frayed - I might has well just completely sever them. So I booked Jess and myself onto the last Grizedale Go Ape session of the day.
I am terrified of heights.
But I decided that I can do that 'mind over matter thing'. I just needed to get a grip and do something out of my comfort zone.
But by the time I had climbed the first rope ladder, crossed from one tree to the next and had my feet firmly on the tiny tree platform...I wondered what the bloody hell I had been thinking. Someone get me down from here now.
That same man then stayed just ahead of me and Jess for the rest of the TWO HOURS in the trees. TWO FUCKING HOURS.
Two hours that included two of the scariest zip wires I have ever seen - from the ground. Never mind from a tiny platform at the top of a tree. And yet again...there is no going back. So you just sit into your harness and go. Like the bloody clappers. But DO NOT LOOK DOWN. I know that now. Do not look down if you're scared of heights. It ruined my imagined 'I'm really just in a fast car with the wind blowing in my hair' scenario.
To cut a long story short - we both did it. We survived. We got a certificate.
Then both had the worst nights sleep ever. With recurring nightmares of:
Then it was Tuesday.
My birthday.
I awoke to a terrifying series of messages showing on my phone screen.
Panic always makes me drop things. And I suddenly have 9 big toes for fingers (or ten..yep ten big toes) - with someone else's fingerprints so my phone won't unlock.
After several minutes of blind panic I finally got the basic message. And rang my ex.
Joe was at that moment in an ambulance on the way back to hospital - with signs of a heart attack.. I could hear the sirens. Of all the horrible moments I've had in my life so far - this one was up there (somewhere near that first tree platform...a few feet above that).
To cut another long story short. Jess and I ran around panicking. Trying to get dressed. It's not funny - but why do knickers always go on backwards when you're upset and frightened?
I drove us straight to the hospital. And we headed straight to Resus. And there he was. My 22-year old baby boy. Looking like he's on the set of Grey's Anatomy. Just the right length of stubble, perfect quiff and olive tan. I, however, looked like shit.
But despite his looks - he was frightened and hooked up to bleeping machines.
And that is how he still is today - Thursday. Frightened. Constantly monitored. Putting a brave and good looking face on.
We don't have answers yet. But we need them desperately. From someone qualified to tell us.
In the meantime - Joe will be pleased to know that I have remembered to find something that will pass as slippers. I just need to remember to bring them in the morning.
Love you Joe (i.e. don't shout if I forget again!)
Today's photos should be no surprise...
Jess and me in a tree and my boy (he wanted a Mum selfie)...
This - my most-frequently visited pages on Google
Couple of things:
The result was enlightening...
I confuse myself. On the one hand I make snap decisions. And on the other I can't make a decision to save my life.
How is this even possible?
I decide quickly if a role isn't right for me. Though I guess when I say I decide quickly...I think about things for a long time. Then when the stress and anxiety get unbearable I make a quick decision to quit. That's one example of me making snap decisions.
So maybe I actually don't. And that can only be a good thing when it comes to that type of decision. When it involves work.
But - do I buy this pair of shoes? Shall I pack this fleece or that one? Which suitcase is best? What do I want for dinner? Do I want a tea or a coffee?
Those decisions are tough.
Today I did make a decision. A decision about something that is causing me too much anxiety. Something that makes me feel like I am trying to plait fog at the same time as wading through treacle - with a blindfold on and one arm tied behind my back.
I knew today was decision day. I felt it in my water. I was drained. Weepy. Over-tired. Anxious.
Now I just need to make some bigger decisions. I need to work out what's next for me.
Do I plod on...the same path I have been treading for 12 years or so?
It pays the bills. It pays for the holidays. But it doesn't inspire me. I have lost the drive. And more worryingly - I am losing the confidence in myself.
I posted recently about a need to change pace - have a new start. I just can't quite see me and Stu in a hippy commune, in a brightly painted shack, growing potatoes.
I also don't see us quitting the rat race for a motorhome and touring Europe. I'd probably be fed up before we hit the South coast.
We have an inkling of a plan. It involves no mortgage, a house with views all round, few neighbours (apart from those who talk sheep), an outhouse / workshop and a drive.
Then reality:
So - first steps of plan:
Then we'll mull things over for a while longer and think of options to address the elephant in the room (what to do with Joe).
In the meantime - I guess I have to work. Continue to do what I have done for the past 12 years or so.
Or maybe I should just try wedding photography for a year.
It'll get easier...
The words of a 'wise' bereavement counsellor. "It will get easier over time.
"You will look back in years to come and you'll be glad that you were there"
So - that was her own experience. As she described to me after I had explained my reason for making an appointment and waiting months to see someone. I thought the appointment was my time to explain my feelings not to listen to hers.
As you can probably guess, I didn't go back. I could have told myself the same things she told me. But at the time when the pain was still fresh I thought I would benefit from talking it through with someone other than family.
So has it got easier? In some ways - of course. It's been 18 years since I watched my Dad take his last breath. Time does indeed heal. To a point.
I don't think about him every day. I don't cry myself to sleep. I am no longer numb.
But a couple of times a year - particularly the anniversary of his death - I remember.
I remember the time leading up. The months watching his body betray him. Sad but also some very precious memories.
I also have some very vivid memories, including one of a Macmillan nurse who cut me to the quick. Not what I was expecting. I thought she could provide answers to the questions I had, that I didn't want to ask Dad or Ruth. "Why is chemo not an option.?.." being one. For which I received a damn good telling off... "Do you want your Dad to suffer more?".
(No love - of course I don't. I just don't want to ask my Dad the ins and outs and I am new to this cancer malarkey. And with you being an expert and all - and known to be sympathetic and supportive - I thought you could help me understand what is and isn't happening).
Didn't go and see her again either.
I have held onto these memories for years. Shared only with those close to me. The other bad memories - the ones that hurt so much - I won't share on here.
But I still find it very difficult to remember pre-cancer Dad. Those memories are further away in my mind - hidden behind the sights, sounds, smells, feelings of those final few days - Wednesday to Saturday.
From the moment Ruth rang me at work and asked me to come over - and to bring some spare knickers. To the last time I spoke to Dad (and he spoke to me) on the Thursday. To his final moments on the Saturday.
To the two lovely men who took him away with such care and compassion
The memories end there. I don't remember a great deal more.
I am sorry that I have shared this on what is usually a cheery blog. But maybe I need this. Maybe I need to write it all down. And maybe I need to write the full story down somewhere - somewhere not for sharing. If I expel it onto paper - will I expel the pain from inside me?
Anyway - as ever - here's a photo. One of my favourites. Pre-poorly Dad. With full-on beard and crinkly eyes.
Everything ends in o or i...
Time to sum up my view of our little Italian trip.
Stu's summary is simple - everything ends in o or i and everyone speaks Italian very fast.
Of course there is more to it than that! Where did it rate on my holiday experiences? Way down I'm afraid. But then I like cold places. With no mosquitos.
The people:
The driving experience:
The scenery:
The towns:
The Trullo:
Favourite bits:
Yesterday was a sun-chasing day. We found it. And we had a huge beach to ourselves. That has to be the bonus of Italy at this time of year.
We haven't heard another Brit since we got off the plane. As Stu pointed out "everyone is Italian".
In fact Stu had a deep conversation in Italian with a chap in a white coat in Ceglie yesterday. We were looking for a bakery. White coat = baker...right? Nope. Barber (Stu managed to come to that conclusion when he peeped in the chap's shop and they both mimed scissors). And a very kindly barber at that. He seemed to want to get in the car with us to show us the way to the bakery around the corner. Nice chap.
As Stu was hungry he came out of the bakery with a big bag of bread and a variety of Italian cookies. They were bloody awful. One type even had aniseed flavouring in it.
Stu had a rude awakening this morning. He felt something bite his shoulder. And for once it wasn't me. As we couldn't see anything we ignored it. Getting out of bed at a leisurely pace. Then we saw something...on his side of the bed. He says it was some kind of centipede. I'm sleeping standing up tonight - in the middle of the room.
It's very windy today. Blowing the garden furniture around kind of windy. And cloudy. But still warm.
So we set off for a stroll in the local area.
And arrived back at the trullo to no electricity or water. But at least the sun was out.
Fairy Stu...
Got a bit of dirt on my white pumps! And Stu's trainers STINK.
When it rains...
The weather apps (all of them) predicted rain today. Over much of the region. So after the morning croissant we set off for a drive.
And didn't see a single spot of the wet stuff.
We did see some rather big houses. And lots of tiny country roads. Before we headed off to a forest for a couple of hours walking. Much needed exercise after far too much bread, pasta, beer and pastries.
We then went in search of the castle in Ceglie Messapica. Once we had done the usual drive round the town trying to avoid pedestrians, other cars and dead ends we found a free parking spot (parking in Italy is ridiculous. So many different rules. But Stu had hit Google before we set off this morning so we had a much better idea).
As we walked up to the castle we could hear a brass band. Playing a rather slow tune. We had stumbled upon a funeral. So we put on our best sombre faces and waited as we didn't want to appear rude and walk past the mourners.
To be honest I was moved. Huge flower arrangements adourned the sides of a white van. As the coffin came out the mood of the band changed to something a little more upbeat. There were some words shouted and everyone clapped. Us included. Then the funeral procession set off slowly through town (we didn't follow).
We learned after that is was the funeral of a 38 year old man.
After a quick visit to the castle (disappointing tbh) and a couple of coffees (not at all disappointing and surprisingly cheap) we headed back towards the Trullo.
The road takes us past a massive cemetery. Which happened to be open. So we popped in.
I have never seen anything like it. Not even those in France compare. It was a little awe-inspiring tbh. The amount of care (and money) spent on the dead. Extraordinary. And humbling in a way.
We did feel like weird stalkers as we stumbled across the coffin of the 38 year old. But we rushed past respectfully.
I did take a couple of photos in between doing my best respectful sad face. Then tried my best to hide the huge camera under my top. It just felt very wrong.
I took a couple of photos of the 38 year old chap's flowers at the entrance. I want to look back and remember. It seems right somehow.
Back at the Trullo we raised a Peroni to the unnamed man. Before Stu started prepping the pasta!
Sounds like...
At home there's a sound which drives us mad. It sounds a little like a duck. We hear it in the middle of the day. And have no clue what it is.
So. We're in Italy and there's a very similar noise. But when it goes dark.
After three nights googling "what bird makes a squeaky noise at night" or "what is that sonar type sound at night" Stu finally found the cause of the Italian version of the Lawrence Road duck.
It's a Scops Owl.
And tonight I can get to bed a little earlier and abandon my bird sound search.
Another frustration of this holiday is the Sat Nav. As we don't know the area we tend to enter a city / town rather than an address. Of course the Sat Nav takes you to 'city centre'. So invariably we have ended up literally in the centre of some city...down tiny one-way streets. Lost.
So I normally just head right back out again. Stressed. And head for the next place. And do the bloody same.
Today we tried Gallipoli. For those who don't know Gallipoli is an island, reachable by bridge and kind of circle shaped. The Sat Nav took us right there. We drove round the circle. And back off it. No photos. From what we saw as we navigated the narrow road...it had shops and bars. And some fortifications.
We pulled up somewhere safe and asked the Sat Nav to find a beach...near our current location. Genius.
We ended up on the quietest beach ever. With our own little rocky, sheltered haven. Time for a spot of lunch and some much-needed rays.
Before we set off again. To drive some more.
The forecast for tomorrow is rain. Everywhere within a driveable distance. So we need to think of something to do. There is a safari park. Not really what we came to Italy for but the reviews I've read are good.
Or we might just drive around the local area. Avoiding trafiic.
We nearly died a couple of times today. Italian drivers are completely insane. And impatient.
The sound...https://youtu.be/Km3D2jq1HoQ
We drove all day. Pretty much.
We did manage an hour to stretch our legs in one of the national parks. And another hour on a beach. And one taking in some views.
We pretty much covered this area....
We arrived back at the Trullo around 7pm and inhaled a Peroni. It cost around €1.89 for three. I don't buy beer often but I think that's cheap.
It's a little noisy around here tonight. Dogs constantly barking, some weird bird squeaking and something that sounded like thunder. All of it in the distance. Sound travels here.
No clue what we're doing tomorrow. It depends on the weather (today was sunny and ranged from 21-30c). All our weather apps say something different for tomorrow. But rain could be on the menu. But it was for today too and we didn't come across any.
Just a few pics from today...
Me, my life, my family and my travels

Bike lanes will be built in downtown Edmonton by the summer of 2017, and the possibility has been raised of extending the 'downtown bike grid' to U of A and Strathcona the following year.
On Tuesday morning, Edmonton city council voted unanimously to spend $7.5 million for increased cyclist safety; vehicles and bikes will be separated by planters and small curbs, with lanes on 104 Ave, 102, 103 and 100 Ave, and along 106, 103 and 99th Streets.
City staff say about 5,500 cyclicts ride through downtown Edmonton daily.

*REVISED* Blessed Days of Dhul-Hijjah Activity Book!!
Getting ready for Dhul-Hijjah again, subhanAllah! May Allah bless all our brothers and sisters with a safe journey and accept their worship and du'aa. Ameen!! May Allah bless us all to be able to embark this journey at least once in our lifetime! Ameen!!
What's new?!?
Assalaamu alaikum! It's been a long while since I've blogged. Since Ramadaan, a few other brothers/sisters and my husband and I have joined efforts to start a Muslim Outreach Center here in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. It's physical location is in Norfolk, VA. Bi 'ithnillah, we intend to provide free social services for our brothers and sisters and also run a food pantry for the public community. Alhamdulillah, this project has developed so quickly and has kept us all so busy. By Allah's mercy, we are moving into our building in a week! Check out our website! Let me know what you think, in sha Allah!
Right now, my family and I are on a much needed vacation, Alhamdulillah! We've visited Luray Caverns in Luray, VA and Shenandoah Valley; beautiful, scenic towns not too far from DC. Once we get home it'll be serious school time, in sha Allah. My oldest daughter is testing out K12's Virtual Academy for her 6th grade year (because it's the last year they offer it for FREE! LOL). Surprisingly, she has become very independent and taking charge of her schooling. She knows exactly what needs to be accomplished and has three teachers she has to answer to that is NOT her mother! LOL!

How to Get Your Doctor to Take Your Undiagnosed Condition Seriously
Ellen Berry on 05 17, 2009
Imagine sitting in an exam room waiting for a doctor you haven't met before to walk in. Whether you've got an unexplained stabbing pain in your side, crippling headaches or life-threatening heart problems, you're hoping he or she will be able to figure out what's interfering with your quality of life.
Not only are you in physical distress, you're probably nervous because you're there for an answer, and you're not sure you'll get one… or at least, the right one. And if you do, there's no telling whether the answer will ease your pain and calm your fears or increase your pain and confirm your fears.
The person that walks through that door with the white coat could be kind, compassionate, intelligent, respectful, intuitive, knowledgeable, honest, experienced, responsible, willing, curious and thorough. Or they could be rushed, stumped, bored, ignorant, insensitive, rude, impatient, dismissive, harsh, deceptive, arrogant and careless. When there's so much riding on one 15-minute interaction with another human being, it makes sense to expect the best and be prepared for the worst…
For insight into why doctors may not take you seriously, read "10 Reasons Doctors Don't Take Undiagnosed Patients Seriously".
The following are some strategies to help you set the stage for getting your doctor to take your undiagnosed condition seriously. Please keep in mind that not all of these strategies will work in every situation, and some may not suit your style of personal interaction with your doctor.
Shop smart. Getting real help from a doctor truly comes down to finding a good match, so doing a little research before choosing a doctor can pay off greatly. Word of mouth is a good start, whether it be from friends and family, or from support group website forums. Websites such as Angie's List and HealthGrades that rate health care will, for a fee, provide valuable information to help you make educated choices. Health insurance providers also may provide access online to the results of their assessments of facilities and physicians within their networks.
Doctors at teaching hospitals are often good resources, as they have been educated on the latest research and are usually medically curious.If you can, avoid seeking a diagnosis in an emergency room or outpatient clinic – staff there are usually more triage oriented with a "patch 'em up and move 'em on" approach, and don't have the time and resources to do research or follow up.
Once you've selected a doctor you'd like to see, if possible ask your primary care physician for a referral. This can help gain credibility in the eyes of the doctor you've selected.
After the work you go through to find a doctor, get a referral, fill out the initial paperwork, provide medical records, waiting weeks or months for an appointment, etc. you may be inclined to keep going to a doctor who hasn't inspired your confidence. So when planning in advance, consider making appointments with several doctors until you find one that you like, then cancel the other appointments (if your health insurance policy allows you to make appointments without formal referrals).
Make an initial assessment. When it comes time for your appointment, come armed with a mental checklist of acceptable behavior. From your first impressions of the doctor, you may have a sense of how well the appointment is going to go – which will help determine which of the remaining strategies will be useful to you.
Does he or she greet you, shake your hand, look you in the eye, offer a warm introduction? Do they review the information you provide thoroughly, or skim over it? Do they ask why you are there and follow up questions? Is their attitude generally positive and open, or are they clearly impatient, bored, distracted or condescending?
If you get the feeling the doctor isn't taking you seriously, put on your invisible Teflon armor and focus on staying strong and getting out the door. Keep things simple and fast, and try and leave with at least one helpful step forward, such as a referral or a prescription renewal.
Know what you want. While you're waiting weeks or months for an initial appointment, use the time to do some research into your symptoms, possible diagnoses and usual treatments. Try to be analytical about it rather than emotional, so that fear doesn't interfere with your research. Use reliable sources of medical information, such as the links provided on this website. Develop a list of questions to ask the doctor. Not only will this help prepare you for your appointment, it will empower you in being responsible for your own health.
Consider hiring a mental health professional as a "coach" to support you in your pursuit of wellness. Having someone to listen, support, validate your experiences and plan with you can give you confidence, which helps doctors take you seriously.Be clear of what you want from the doctor. Do you need to know if a symptom is something to be concerned about? Are you seeking an initial diagnosis, or a second (or third, or fourth) opinion? Do you need to explore treatment options? Do you need your medications evaluated, a prescription for physical therapy, or a referral to a specialist?
Be forthcoming. In addition to a list of questions, come to your appointment with all the necessary background information – copies of recent lab results or imaging reports, a list of current medications including dosages, frequency and purpose, accurate information about family history, surgery and vaccination dates, etc.
Answer the doctor's questions honestly, and be sure to tell the doctor about anything that concerns you – even if you feel it is private or embarrassing.
If a doctor prescribes a behavioral change such as a different way of eating or exercising, or a medication or treatment, they have to trust that you will take them seriously and do your best to comply. Of course, always trust your intuition, and do some research first to make sure you can find evidence to support the doctor's recommendations.
Be open to the possibilities. Doctors have gone through extensive medical training and accrued many hours – or years – of experience working with patients. It's possible that they know valuable information that isn't easily found on the Internet, the local library or by word of mouth. Give serious consideration to what they have to say, even if it challenges what you think you already know. Your doctor will recognize your receptiveness, which will help him or her take you seriously.
Have realistic expectations. Not every doctor is going to be a beneficial resource. It's a numbers game, to some degree. So don't expect to walk out of an appointment with a confirmed diagnosis and prescription for treatment in hand. It has been known to happen, but usually after several less successful attempts or months of testing and follow-up appointments. It is more reasonable to expect that you will make progress, and fill in another piece of the puzzle, than it is to expect a quick fix.
Doctors are restricted by medical ethics, laws, insurance policies and professional courtesy to provide only certain kinds of assistance within a scope of expertise. Asking a rheumatologist about something other than connective tissue diseases, or a nephrologist about something other than kidney-related diseases, will most likely be met with a referral to another specialist. In the same way, doctors may be unwilling to run tests that they feel uncomfortable interpreting. Be prepared for their refusal, and ask for a referral to a doctor who would be qualified to run the test.
Communicate clearly.If you struggle to communicate with doctors because they intimidate you, or they use words with which you're unfamiliar, or because your symptoms interfere with your ability to think clearly or remember what doctors say, bring someone with you to help you communicate, or bring written notes to give the doctor.
Don't mask symptoms. If you can do so without putting your health at risk, try to allow your symptoms to be visible when you go to your appointment. For example, if you get a stuffy nose every time you go to work, consider scheduling an appointment after work, and avoid taking decongestants until after your appointment. This will help considerably in gaining credibility in the eyes of your doctor, and provide instant information that can help with a diagnosis.
Consider your presumptions. Sometimes situations are influenced by attitudes we carry, even if we don't know we have them, or do our best to override them. If you encounter resistance from a health care professional, ask yourself if you're not resisting their help at some level. If they dismiss you as though you're not worth their time, ask yourself if at some level you feel like you deserve to be sick (of course, no one deserves to be sick). If they are condescending toward you, perhaps you are feeling like they're better than you.The Law of Attraction, as described in the book and movie "The Secret," can provide additional insight to these dynamics.
If you do discover a deep-seated feeling you didn't realize was feeding your experiences, simply acknowledging it can begin a positive change. Saying daily affirmations like "I deserve to be fulfilled by a level of health that suits me", "I'm open to receiving guidance for my highest and best from any source at any time", and "I take responsible action on my own behalf. I make wise and educated choices for myself, and the results of my actions reflect my true worth" until you truly feel them at your core can transform any presumption.
Consider their presumptions. During an appointment, it may become obvious that a doctor has made an assumption about you – perhaps that you have psychological issues that are causing your illness, that you keep going to doctors rather than accepting the reality of your health situation, or that you are seeking access to drugs. Speaking their language can sometimes help in overcoming these assumptions. Explain that you are seeking evidence that supports or refutes previous or potential diagnoses, and ask for their help in gathering the evidence.
Uphold an attitude of gratitude. Feeling thankful for the opportunity to see any doctor, receive helpful information (even though it may not seem helpful at the time) and take action to support your own wellness can pave the way for desirable results from your appointment. It may take some effort, but try to find something to be thankful for in the situation, no matter the turnout. It will keep your momentum up, propelling you forward to the next opportunity.

Something I learned recently may be helpful when trying to find a doctor who will actually listen to their patient. I recently had the opportunity to look at my physiatrist's notes in my chart. I was shocked, very upset actually, to see that he had not heard what I said, he had written things that were absolutely not true, written that he had spent most of the appointment "counseling" me. he had ignored the reasons I had been referred to him. In fact he had written that I had no complaint of lower limb pain or weakness, which was one of the main reasons I went to see him. There was so much more that was incorrect I won't bother with describing it here. My point is that we have the right to see our doctor's medical notes about us and we should do so. We cannot establish a good relationship if we do not know what the doctor is actually transcribing in our records about us. It is so very important to have a doctor who is paying attention, annotating the appointment properly and we as patients cannot acquire good medical care if the doctor is not paying attention to us and hearing us. Furthermore, this type of medical notes in my record had a negative impact on my disability hearing. It was incorrect information that the judge had to look at and if the information is wrong, the outcome will be a denial of benefits. Get your records! You have a right to have them. The distress this has caused me has been terrible, which of course exacerbates pain. Not only do I not get treatment for the problem, I have been given an additional problem made for me by the doctor whom I was supposed to be able to trust. Get copies of your doctor's notes of your office visits. It is your right and your responsibility to know what is being recorded in your medical records that get seen by many people, other doctors and even judges. It can save time and help determine whether or not a doctor is suitable for you.
I was surprised to find that notes in an intake at an urgent pain clinic revealed that "The patient speaks tangentially" which hurt my feelings because I was only trying to be forthcoming, trying to give information that I thought would help. Instead I was seen as a talkative fool. I have learned that doctors and other medical personnel do not want voluntary information. It is better just to wait for them to ask precise questons and answer their in brief, concise and as if I don't know anything at all about my body. How disappointing. The more I know the less I should reveal has been the unfortunate lesson learned by me. All of this information went into my medical records which the disability judge looked at and denied me benefits, in a large part because incorrect information had been recorded. I had a problem with my left knee, a torn meniscus, and it was recorded as my having twisted my right knee. Make sure the information is accurate and ask to see what has been recorded. Medical personnel make mistakes. Doctor's handwriting is often difficult to decipher and when done so by another person it is often recorded incorrectly. get your records and have mistakes addressed at your next appointment. If corrected it can make a difference in your treatment outcome.
As a medical professional myself, it is important for the patient to relay all necessary information. However, not to sound condescending, we don't have much time or room on the history intake form to put EVERYTHING down. We don't need nor want to hear a patient's life history but rather the succinct and to-the-point info. Basically, it's how long have you had symptoms, where does it hurt, past trauma?, etc. It's difficult for the medical professional to condense a big sob story into pertinent information necessary for the doctor or whomever to diagnose and treat the patient.
Remember that doctors are not God. Medicine is still a mystery and can be sometimes perplexing even for the most well-seasoned and experienced physician. (Maybe that's why the call it a 'practice'.)
I DO most definitely agree with getting all and every single copy of results, records, etc., even if it costs you for "extra copies". It's NOT to make your OWN diagnosis but to have it for proof, in case there's a discrepancy in billing or need it for legal purposes. Like it was said before, it's a patient's right to see and have one's medical records. Just be very careful that you don't get in over your head.
I would never make the mistake of thinking that a doctor is god-like in any way, and much of medicine is not a mystery, it is science. I expect a doctor to listen to me and work with me because it is my body and i am paying for a service when I consult a doctor. If it were a mechanic I was consulting about a car problem, I would expect the mechanic to listen to me and determine the course of action together. I expect the same from a doctor. if the doctor doesn't have an answer, he/she should say so and allow another doctor to do what she/he cannot do.
I recently ended up in a specialist's office out of state because no doctor would diagnose a condition I explained repeatedly to them, gave them everything needed to make the diagnosis so that I could get the help I needed before it progressed to a stage of irreversible damage.
I was right, the doctors were not listening to me and now I have stage III of a particular disease, and there is so much damage and additional pain and still I am not getting therapy needed because my doctor is dragging her feet with the needed referral.
I cannot accept being careful to not get in "over my head." Since it is ultimately my mind that must make the decisions regarding my health care it is only "over my head" when information remains unexplained. I have never considered doctors to be anything more than professionals in a specific field, like plumbers or climatologists or architects, they are professionals whose time is compensated.
There exists nothing that is "over my head." Had I not pursued this and simply accepted the "I don't know what it is but it isn't that" that I was hearing from doctors whose egos were more important than an accurate diagnosis, I would still be being biopsied and poked while the scholarly medical documentation was being ignored
Trying to give an accurate amount of information in a short period of time to ensure prompt but safe treatment in the ER is my responsibility.
I just left a doctor's office – a "specialist" who was going to finally help me. He basically, after just a minute in the exam room, asked if I spend much time on the internet looking up the disease that I tested positive for because he doesn't think I really have it.
Now, it's not that I WANT any disease, but after years of no diagnoses, any diagnoses at least makes you feel less crazy! I tried to convince myself that doctors don't think your "whining", that they are just trying to make sense of it all. Then I read this. When Adrienne C called a patient's tale of suffering a "sob story", it hit me. Doctors DO think you're whining. We tell them ALL this, because we are told that IF we tell them EVERYTHING, it helps them help us… and we are DESPERATE.
So much for that. I'm so discouraged. There really seems to be no help out there if you have been too sick for too long.
Live with it or die with it. I guess that's what we do. If there is another option, I don't know of it.
Hi, Ellen. I just this afternoon discovered this site. I don't know how to find your home page. Any tips?
You can click on the Take Us Seriously logo at the top of this page or click this link. .. Scroll down to find the resources. ..
The observations that Nicole made were right on point, and reading the comment by adrienne c, the medical professional, really showed what kind of arrogance is coming from the field. Doctors are supposed to work for their patients, the fact that we have to act or portray ourselves a certain way to get them to take proper care or attention is really disturbing to me.And, then we have to worry about how they are portraying us in their notes, because one doctor can change the perception of another just through their notes.
If you have ever been through a health crisis that has taken a long time to diagnose you know the agony and desperation that kind of situation can cause, and it's not always a fair time to comment on someone's loquaciousness, unless it has some direct connection to health or diagnosis. I've also noticed that lately they are very quick to hand out an SSRI, before looking into other issues, like thyroid etc. I have seen the service go down hill in the last several years and I think part of the problem is so many of us feel powerless because of what is at stake during a visit, and medical staff are not being called on their poor service.
Wow, can't believe I stumbled across this website…I am currently trying to keep my sanity while trying to get well. I was "diagnosed" by some quack with a GI condition, but some doctors seem to think if you fall under that umbrella, nothing else can be wrong..
One of my doctors suspects appendix issues and I have the atypical symptoms, but no one believes me. I wouldn't be surprised if both conditions are acting up simultaneously, but because I don't have the cookie-cutter symptoms with my appendix, no one will look twice at me.
I am beyond frustrated and feel like I'll be sick forever…it's impossible to get a doctor who will actually look at me as a person and take the time to figure things out.
I have a big issue. I had rotator cuff surgery 5 months ago and have completed 15 weeks of physical therapy. I do have use of my arm again but it hurts every day all the time. Sometimes I have to stop doing activities- driving, swimming, carrying groceries, ect and just let my arm rest and put Ice on it. It hurt so bad a couple of times that it brought me to tears and once I ended up in the ER for pain relief. When I tell my surgeon how much pain I'm in he does not take me serously and his PA says that he wo't prescribe any more pain meds for me. I don't know what to do other than go see another dr. It just sucks that I have along with my insurance paid this surgeon over 40,000 dollars and they refuse to relieve my pain. They did give me a cortizone injection that really relieved my pain for about 7 days, bu tnow it is hurting agian. I would say it is severe pain. I am a registered nurse and I understand other methods of pain relief and I have tried guided imagery, distraction and staying busy, ice packs, heat, physical therapy, and massage. I have not tried yoga or biofeedback. I used biofeedback years ago for anxiety and it helped but I do not think it will benefit me for pain relief. Does anyone else have any other recommendations. I'll try anything as I can't live with this pain anymore.
This site.. just floored me. I've been waiting months for some kind of answers. I've been to so many doctors, and currently see my urologist and gynecologist at least once a month. We do tests.. I take meds.. NOTHING CHANGES! I'm so sad alot of the time.. I have scheduled with a psychologist in order to maintain any sanity I have left!
I can't seem to get past a medical professional referring to a persons condition or acount of their issues a "sob story". I understand I need your help, please take the time to listen, I am paying for help.
We been trying to get a test for megabalistic blood cells ever since the hospital said some years ago that my wife red blood cells are bigger than normal, but She had tests since and they say they are the correct size now, but my wife had a stroke last year, this was caused by plaque and she had to have a operation, but what I found out is, megabalistic blood cells can stick to the walls of the arties and cause plaque.
They say that her B12 was lacking and asked her if she drinks alcohol, she said no, so the only other reason would be she cannot absolve the b12, this is the transic factor but they won't have this, what can we do. She takes at the moment B12 under her tongue. This helps but I believe she should be on injections of B12.
Such a breath of fresh air to hear that I'm not alone in being brushed off for so long. I just keep getting passed around from one doctor to the next and the things they say to me make it very obvious they're not listening and just don't care. My body has gone to hell in the last few years and I know my body well enough to know that most of these things have to be related. They won't even consider the possibility that I might be right. Apparently all sorts of things just decided to start malfunctioning simultaneously and there's no connection. Ugh. So frustrating. I just want someone to listen and believe me.
Ironically, reading this makes the panic set in.
I really hate that doctors have no intention of listening to you and instead want the simplest information that can allow them to make the simplest decision and ignore all that's wrong.

OAKLAND — Eric Byrnes, who won over the hearts of A's fans with an all-out style of play that overcame his lack of raw baseball skills, was traded Wednesday to the Colorado Rockies.
Byrnes and shortstop prospect Omar Quintanilla were sent to the Rockies for left-handed pitcher Joe Kennedy and right-handed pitcher Jay Witasick.
Earlier in the day, the A's finalized a trade that sent reliever Chad Bradford to the Boston Red Sox for outfielder Jay Payton. The deal had been in the works since last Thursday.
Byrnes, who was told the news before the A's optional workout at the Coliseum, had a mix of emotions as he packed his bags inside the A's clubhouse.
"I'm excited; I really am," Byrnes said. "Hopefully, I'll get an opportunity to play on a regular basis. But I have to admit I'm also very sad."
Byrnes, who grew up a Giants fan and attended St. Francis High in Mountain View, was drafted by the A's in 1998. It's the only organization he's ever played for, and he quickly developed a unique bond with the fans even before he was a regular player.
"I can't begin to thank the fans enough," Byrnes added. "I can't tell you how grateful I am for the way I was received. They've meant a lot to me. It's tough in this day and age, with free agency and trades, there's a growing disconnect between fans and players. But that's not at all what I experienced. It's helped me so much as a baseball player and as a person.
"It's been awesome playing in my hometown in front of my friends and family. It's been a realspecial experience."
Byrnes received some well wishes from the few A's players who attended Wednesday's optional workout. His eyes lit up when he thought about playing at hitter-friendly Coors Field and making three trips every year to San Francisco and San Diego.
"I don't know what to expect," he said. "But I'm going with a smile on my face and looking to help them win some games."
Byrnes was the subject of trade rumors all offseason — including San Diego, Arizona and the Mets — and had a feeling that this time he was finally going to be traded after the Payton news broke and Mark Kotsay signed a three-year contract on Saturday.
"It's probably just a perception we were trying to trade him," assistant general manager David Forst said. "We were not trying to trade him. He had a lot of interest, but there wasn't a deal that made sense. Colorado called, and the fit was finally there."
Byrnes entered the season as the A's starting left fielder, but he got off to a slow start, especially against right-handed pitchers, and often found himself on the bench behind corner outfielders Bobby Kielty and Nick Swisher.
"It's been frustrating," Byrnes acknowledged. "Just because I enjoy the competition. I love to play this game and be on the field. The A's made a decision they felt would help them. I can't blame them a bit."
The A's have scouted Kennedy heavily this season, and there wasn't much to see. He's 4-8 with a 7.04 ERA, giving up 128 hits in 92 innings. He was recently moved to the bullpen, and that will be his initial role with the A's, although Forst left open the possibility of Kennedy pitching as a starter in the future. The A's will control Kennedy for two more years.
"Kennedy is only 26, and he's had a lot of success in the past," Forst said. "He was always tough on us in Tampa. He still has a lot of upside."
Kennedy told The Denver Post, "Once I got put in the bullpen, I was hoping something would happen. This is a nice surprise. I'm looking forward to going to a contender."
Witasick was traded to the A's in 1996 in the Todd Stottlemyre deal and reached the majors later that year. Witasick has always been known as a pitcher with a great arm, but this will be his ninth team in 10 years (including two stops in San Diego and Oakland).
This year is one of Witasick's best, compiling a 2.52 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 35 innings, despite pitching at Coors Field.
Payton, 34, was hitting .265 with five home runs and 21 RBIs in 133 at-bats for the Red Sox. He was hitting better recently, .333 in his last 27 games, but grew increasingly frustrated with his lack of playing time.
It boiled over July 6, when Payton got into an argument in the dugout with Boston manager Terry Francona over a double switch that deprived Payton an at-bat. Payton was designated for assignment the next day, and the framework of the trade to the A's was put into place the same day.
Payton's best season came in 2003 with the Colorado Rockies, when he hit 28 home runs, drove in 89 runs and had a .512 slugging percentage in 600 at-bats.
The A's have always liked him and considered signing him two off-seasons ago, but he signed with San Diego instead. He struggled at pitcher-friendly Petco Park in 2004, hitting .260 with eight home runs and 55 RBIs, and his slugging percentage slipped to .367.
"This guy (Payton) hit 28 home runs two years ago," A's manager Ken Macha said. "He can hit righties or lefties. I remember him from the Eastern League. He was the best in the league, and Nomar (Garciaparra) was in that league."
Quintanilla is a bright prospect who impressed the A's in spring training and could be in the majors by next season. But the A's have depth with their middle infielders in the minors, including Mike Rouse at Triple-A Sacramento, Kevin Melillo at Single-A Stockton and 2005 first-round pick Cliff Pennington.

Five years ago, this story would have been written very differently. We would have dissected V12s, paid homage to the piston acceleration of the V10, enthused about the maximum revs of the V8 and applauded all their guttural noises. The irretrievable good old days... At least, they are if you're buying a new sports car. You'd be hard pressed to find one without some form of engine charging, not because of any intrinsic superiority, but due to a mounting range of external factors...The consumption cycle – the driving force behind turbomania
"The NEDC consumption cycle is the primary driving force behind the swap over to turbochargers – it's a matter of consumption and emissions", according to Professor Thomas Koch, chief of the Institute for Piston Engines at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). Even though the NEDC cycle is on its way out, its intended purpose remains, and will become even more extreme in the future; concepts such as particle filters for direct injection turbo engines and real driving emissions are increasing pressure on new engines – in every sense.
These circumstances mean that car manufacturers have no choice but to now employ engine charging for their sportier engines, as this improves efficiency and fuel consumption (measured in g/kWh), both through the reduction in engine size and the more frugal consumption behaviour of these engines under partial load. It is, however, a loss from the viewpoint of sports car fanatics, but a loss we must deal with and move on. This trend isn't going to be an overnight craze.
Turbo engines with naturally aspirated performance
Our technical expert Professor Hans-Jörg Bauer, head of the Institute for Thermal Turbomachines at the KIT, believes emulating the classic strengths of naturally aspirated engines through turbocharging – such as high torque, direct throttle response and better dosing of power – will be a development goal of increasing priority.
There is however one point which could be more difficult than the rest: "turbochargers have one decisive weakness – they can't reproduce that same emotive sound experience, as the turbo itself acts as a silencer", explains Professor Hans-Jörg Bauer. The question is then, whether fans will be able to come around to the concept of sound engineering. Our question for today however is what the engines of today can achieve in terms of emulating their more voluminous brethrenDifferent charging methods on test
In order to answer this, we chose ten cars with sporty engines using the following variety of charging methods: turbo compressor, turbo on a low/high capacity engine, supercharger, triturbo, biturbo with electronic compressor and biturbos with engines of various capacity).
We then measured, tested and discussed the different concepts with our experts from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
These, and our initial thoughts, can be found in the image gallery.
