Still No Love For The Cowboys???
As I sit here Friday night watching Sportscenter, NFL Network and Sportsnation I am getting more and more frustrated. For some reason NO ONE is giving the Cowboys any kind of a chance to win this game against the Eagles Saturday night. Have they not seen what the Cowboys have been doing the last few weeks. Have they not seen how the defense has been DOMINATING the line of scrimmage. I am so tired of not getting respect that is deserved.
To me this has got to be the biggest game Dallas has played in the last few years. They need to go out and show the critics, no wait, go out and SHUT THE CRITICS UP!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sick and tired of no one believing in what the Cowboys are doing right now. They posted BACK TO BACK shut outs for the first time in the history of their existence.
Everyone keeps saying again and again DeSean Jackson is the better receiver and will have a better game. Well not only do I say otherwise but here are a few stats to back me up:
DeSean Jackson has started EVERY game this season for the Eagles and Miles Austin only started after sitting the first 4 games of the season.
Jackson has 63 receptions with 9 touchdowns for a total of 1,167 yards
Austin has 81 receptions with 11 touchdowns for a total of 1,320 yards
Now to me, numbers tell the truth, Miles Austin is a MUCH better reciever than DeSean Jackson. So, let's go Boys. Lets show everyone out there that this year is not like the past, we mean business and we are making a statement. Bring it home Dallas!

There are few more alluring prospects than spending a country weekend with friends. The image of a long winding driveway, the sound of gravel crunching under car tyres, and the smell of log fires all spring effortlessly to mind. The dream, informed by television shows such as Downton Abbey, consists of being greeted on your arrival with a reviving cup of tea in the drawing room while the butler unpacks your bags upstairs. After this you're shown your cosy room, where a small log fire burns in the hearth and you can have a hot bath and get changed for dinner. This is long, delicious, accompanied by vintage wine and rounded off with a Cognac and a cigar in the library. The idealised evening ends with a bit of corridor creeping to visit the pretty single girl you sat next to at dinner.
However, that's not always (or even ever) how it pans out. It's more likely to involve a frustrating crawl out of town on Friday night, a tiring schlep down the motorway and an infuriating last few miles during which neither your map nor your iPhone are of any use while you struggle in the dark to discern the "landmark" oak tree that marks the turning for the house. After a garbled telephone call from a local pub (there's never any mobile phone coverage in the country) you eventually end up at your friend's house, which turns out to bear very little resemblance to the image you have of it in your mind's eye.
To start with, your mind's eye hadn't anticipated the paper that hangs down from the ceilings in the corridor, or the small plastic trays of blue mouse poison. You probably hadn't expected to find so many blue bottles living under the duvet on your bed, or so few functioning radiators. Or indeed a crack in the wall - a result of a lightning strike a couple of years back - so wide it allows in a draught. Any idea of a butler is quickly forgotten as it becomes clear that the house no longer even enjoys the attention of a regular cleaner; it's an absence that's beginning to make itself apparent. Not that you need help to unpack, because all the drawers in the chest in your bedroom are full of moth-eaten blankets, and your host's late grandfather's suits occupy the wardrobe.
Never mind, you think, at least you can relax in a hot bath. And you can, but not until you get home, because invariably another guest reached the bathroom before you, and used the majority of the tiny amount of hot water that the house's decrepit plumbing system produces. As you lurk in the corridor waiting for your turn you wonder at the inverse relationship between the considerable noise the boiler makes, and the minimal quantity of hot water it produces. Nonetheless you're well brought up and brave a shallow, tepid bath for a quick splash about, during which you can't help but speculate darkly about the origin of the dark brown stains on the side of the bathtub.
Once dressed you head downstairs and into a freezing dining room, only to hear the dreaded sentence, "I'm afraid it's a bit of picnic supper tonight." What this means is that your host hasn't had time to go shopping, with the result that you're being given a bowl of beetroot soup and some cheese and biscuits for dinner. The decanter of vintage Bordeaux that you'd hoped would be present on the table is nowhere to be seen; instead, a bottle of Bulgarian Merlot acts as a very poor substitute. The disgusting wine forces you to confront a terrible dilemma: is it better to drink it, or to stay sober? In the end you decide to stay sober, and one look at your fellow guests tells you that for the duration of the weekend you'll also be staying celibate.
However, the next morning you recall that the point of such a weekend isn't to indulge in luxuries, but to relax, reconnect with friends, savour some fresh air, and to remember that there's more to life than work. All of which is more easily achieved after you've led an expedition - ostensibly in search of the Saturday edition of the FT - to the nearest decent delicatessen, where you spend as much on a few croissants, some French cheese, a little Italian ham, a couple of bottles of Chablis and some chocolates, as you would on a Michelin-starred meal for two back in town.
Once you've breakfasted at leisure it's time to go for a coat-shredding walk that's very likely to involve the following: barbed wire, cow manure, mud, brambles, a stream and muddy dog's paws. The walk is an opportunity to reflect on the fact that despite the privations there's a lot to be said for the great outdoors; not only is it a great place to unwind the day-to-day concerns of city life, but crucially it's the perfect environment in which to wear the tweed jackets, corduroy trousers, brown brogues and chunky cardigans that make the new season's collections so alluring. With this in mind, click through the slides above to see MR PORTER's packing list for country weekends.
The only time anyone wears black in the countryside is when they have to wear a dinner jacket, and even then a velvet jacket may be more appropriate.
Country clothes are made to endure, so fussing about scratching your jacket while climbing over a gate will immediately mark you out as a townie.
The very slim-cut clothes that look sharp in town can seem a bit forced in the country, where comfort is king. Pack looser things, and enjoy the puddings.
As far as possible stick to natural fibres. Even coats should be made of waxed cotton, or wool. It's important to avoid anything that makes a swishing sound as you walk in it - save anything that could possibly be described as an anorak for city wear.
There are two kinds of country hats: tweed flat caps and brown trilbys. The latter is largely saved for days at the races. Regardless of the wind-chill factor, beanie hats should be resisted. But don't worry, tweed caps are warmer than they look.
Even if the weather's warm it's worth packing a thick sweater, because although the temperature drops considerably in the evening, your hosts are unlikely to see this as a reason to cancel the barbeque. A thick cardigan would be ideal.

1549 Passengers Get Elite Frequent Flier Status, For A Limited Time
One of the cool things about being one of the few people in the world to survive a crash water landing is that you get preferred frequent flier mile status. The passengers from flight 1549 that crashed in the Hudson river will get US Airways "Chairman's Preferred status," which entitles them and a companion to first-class seat upgrades, choice seating, and priority check-in. In a letter to the passenger, CEO Doug Parker describes it as his airline's "most coveted frequent flier level." But you better get over your PTSD-induced drowning nightmares quick, 1549ers, the status expires in March 2010. The CEO's letter in full, inside…
January 21, 2009
I hope that this letter finds you at home and taking some time to rest and recover from the events of last Thursday.
On behalf of the 34,000 employees at US Airways, I want to acknowledge your courage, the professionalism of our crew, and the outstanding rescue efforts of all of the various organizations and agencies that came together last week to assist with Flight 1549.
We would very much like to see you on a future US Airways flight soon. To that end, we are extending Chairman's Preferred status, our most coveted frequent flier level, to you through March 2010.
I know our Customer Care Team has been providing support and also communicating next steps as we work to recover and potentially return any items from the flight. In the meantime, please let us know if you have additional needs.
Again, we are grateful the events surrounding Flight 1549 ended as they did, and we will continue to applaud our crew and the actions of the first responders for many years to come.
We look forward to serving you again soon.
Doug Parker
Chairman and CEO, US Airways
Chairman's Preferred Status gives the passenger and companion first-class seats when they're available flying domestically, an upgrade to Europe or Hawaii, choice of seats and priority check-in.
Passenger Antonio Sales from the flight told the New York Post, "That's more of an 'OK, you're not dead, I'll give you something to hold on to.' It's not enough at all."

One of the Jonas Brothers got married recently. According to Michelle's Boy Band Theory, it was the irrelevant one. Or the least attractive one. What? It's not like you weren't thinking it.
Anyway, the oldest Vagina Virgin is now supposedly not a Vagina Virgin anymore because there was a wedding in a castle.
Oh, like, in France? In Germany? Several hundred years old, a fortress?
No. Not that kind of castle.
The Adrien Brody kind of castle. In other words, a fake one. A fake castle in New York that was built less than a hundred years ago. Because all girls want to exist in a fairy tale. Said the Jonas in the People Magazine exclusive:
"I knew that my princess needed her glass slippers and her castle."
Yes. He gifted her with glass slippers. Dear Wedding Planner: please give us every cliché possible. We can afford it all.
Then again, I shouldn't complain. The couples who go out of their way to make it the "most original" wedding ever are probably even more insufferable.
Having said that, of course the ex-Vagina Virgin had to drop the overused line:
"I've never seen a more beautiful bride."
You sell your pictures to a major publication. You have weeks and weeks to think of something to say. After all, you're supposed to be a songwriter. And this is the quote you come up with?
Because this is every girl's dream. We raise them to dream these dreams.

"To put it another way, each of us has a small oil, gas, or electric 'well' right in our house, one that can be tapped fairly cheaply. In fact, such investments offer some of the highest rates of return available in the entire economy. "
These two sentences—from this issue's Plowboy Interview with Amory and Hunter Lovins—make a whole lot of financial sense. No standard investment, whether it be money market certificate, bond, stock, or collectible, is likely to pay you as much for a small outlay as good energy saving at home. The money you save this way is also the equivalent of tax-free income. Why, it's often even better than that: In many cases, you can claim federal—and possibly state—tax credits for the work. The Internal Revenue Service currently allows you to deduct 15% of the cost of conservation measures (and 40% of active solar systems) straight from the bill you pay Uncle Sam.
In other words, can you afford not to save energy?
In order to put some meat on these fine sounding statements, we offer you a simple formula for calculating the payback of an energy conservation investment. There are, of course, more sophisticated—and meaningful—ways to make financial judgments, but the following approach will give you a general idea of whether a particular conservation step is economical.
In the following savings and payback formula, we've used some symbols to keep the equations from appearing too cluttered. Here's what they mean:
RO: Old R-value, the existing R-value of the area to be improved
RN: New R-value, the new R-value of the area after it's improved
DD: Degree-Days, the heating degree-days at your location (check a solar energy book or call your local weather service to find this out)
SE: Saved Energy, in units of 1,000 Btu per square foot per year (kBtu/square ft./yr.)
A: Area, total area of the retrofit in square feet
CE: Cost of Energy, your energy cost per 1,000 Btu in dollars (see the energy cost chart in the Image Gallery)
SY: Savings per Year, the amount of money the improvement will save you each year in energy costs
CI: Cost of Improvement, total amount spent on the improvement
P: Payback, the payback period in years
Ready? First you calculate SE, the annual energy savings per square foot of the retrofit improvement:
Multiply that product by the area of the improvement and by the cost of energy to get the total annual savings, like this:
Now, it's a cinch to work out the payback:
Let's look at a few examples. For starters, let's determine the payback for upgrading 1,000 square feet of wall from no insulation (R-3) to R-11. Our sample house is located in Asheville, North Carolina—which has 4,200 heating degree-days—and at present the owner pays $1.25 per gallon for fuel oil to heat the building. The per-square-foot cost of the blow-in insulation is about 20 cents, including the fee for renting the blower, and the owner supplies the labor. (This job might sound intimidating, but it's really not difficult.)
Annual Energy Savings
SE = (1/3-1/11) X 4,200 X 24/1,000 = 24.44 kBtu/square ft./yr.
Annual Money Savings
P = $200/$366.60 = 0.55 yr.
In other words, that $200 investment will pay for itself in just over half a year. From then on, it will earn you $366.60 extra income annually! Beat that, stock market!
Now, let's see what would happen if that Asheville house already had blown-in insulation and you were thinking about upgrading that R-11 to R-19 by removing the siding, adding rigid board insulation, and replacing the siding. The cost of this owner-installed retrofit would be about 35 cents per square foot for materials.
Annual Energy Savings
SE = (1/11-1/19) X 4,200 X 24/1,000 = 3.86 kBtu/square ft./yr.
Annual Money Savings
P = $350/$57.90 = 6.0 yr.
This time it's going to take six years to earn that $350 back. From then on, you'll be saving an extra $57.90 per year. While not as all-out glorious as the first investment, that's still nothing to sneeze at. (What else pays 16.5% interest in the first year?)
Lest you assume that every investment in energy efficiency is a great one, let's look at one more possibility. Using the last example as a basis, let's calculate the payback if the owner decides to pay someone else to install that rigid board insulation. Removing siding and then furring out the walls is fairly laborious. It might add another 55 cents per square foot to the price of the job, bringing the cost up to 90 cents/square ft. ... or a total of $900.
Well, the annual energy and money savings will be the same as they were above, but look what that total cost of the improvement does to the payback:
P = $900/$57.90 = 15.5 yr.
Whoops! Now, it's going to be 15 1/2 years before you earn your money back. Not so good, eh? (Well, it could be worse. Your investment will be earning interest at a 5.7% rate that first year ... and increasing the resale value of your house.)
The difference, of course, between the first two shining examples and the last, more mundane one is labor. To make typical energy saving at home really pay off, you have to do it yourself.
But that's what this magazine's all about, isn't it?

From Conservapedia
Entrepreneur is a word for an innovative individual who starts a business or creates a product, marketing scheme, etc.
Benjamin Franklin was a successful entrepreneur, diplomat, writer, policy maker, polymath and one of our founding fathers. [1]
"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." Henry Ford.
The word is from the French: "entrepedre" to underatake, and originally applied to the director of a musical institution before the meaning broadened to its modern application.
- President George W. Bush once famously remarked: "The trouble with the French is they don't have a word for 'entrepreneur'"

Cardio & Strength Training: Why They Are Equally Important
I will be completely honest. When I first became interested in health and fitness, there were so many things I didn't know about it. I started off thinking, "If I just get myself to the gym to do a little bit of cardio and follow a few instructions on these machines, I have gotten my exercise in for the day!"
A lot of people that are working out to reach their fitness goals, but they are unsure as to what it is exactly they are working out. I can safely assume that there are quite a few people out there that assume cardio is better for your body than strength training and vice versa.
When reaching fitness goals, most people tend to favor one over the other.
People who want to shed pounds try to avoid the weights because they believe lifting weights will do just the opposite. This is a very common belief to women. We think that lifting weights will only make us bulky when we just want to be thinner.
One thing I have learned is that muscle growth is a very long process. It takes full commitment of the right nutrition and exercise program in order to get to the point of becoming "bulky."
Exercisers who prefer strength training typically try to avoid cardio to prevent any weight or muscle loss. Cardio exercises will only burn muscle when you give it no other choice. Balance in your training and in your diet, will prevent muscle loss.
To put it much more simple, a healthy combination of strength AND cardio training will allow your body to perform at its best.
The best training programs have elements of bothaerobic and anaerobic training, and I believe the important factors for reaching your fitness goals are:
- Pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone
- Eating enough (not too much) to recover
- Resting enough between your workouts
It wasn't until I joined 9Round that I realized the benefits of incorporating both into my daily exercise routine. An effective workout that provides both cardio and strength training, all in just 30 minutes. The trainers will help motivate you to push your body to its full potential. The nutritional guide will get you on the right track of eating right, and all you have to do is make sure you are getting proper rest to recover.
I have been a member for almost a year now, and I have not gotten "bulky," (although I have gained muscle) but I haven't lost any of my muscle gained. It truly is a perfect work out, and not just for me but for ANYONE.
My work out only takes up 30 minutes of my day! - What's your excuse?

Cake is my favourite dessert, so I was so happy that we finally had one to make this week. In fact, I baked 2 weeks' worth of Dorie along with the apple turnovers on Friday. I am going to Montreal for a month's work, so this was my only sure opportunity to bake.
It seems whenever I make one of Dorie's recipes I leave things out. I've never thought of myself of a minimalist, and if you could see the state of my apartment I'm sure you'd agree. Anyway, I left the following out of this recipe:
1. The swirl--I didn't want this to be like coffee cake.
2. The chocolate glaze--seems many of my fellow bakers had trouble with it. I did replace it, though.
3. The holes. I don't own a mini bundt pan.
That's not too many omissions, is it?

Mack, The (MacKenzie Theatre)

Stories from the Red Dirt Road has its world-debut this month at the Confederation Centre of the Arts' Charlottetown Festival. This Island musical weaves together the stories of women from all aspects of life. It has been adapted by Marlane O'Brien from the Margie Carmichael book Stories from the Quilt.
"It's been a great surprise for me and it's a wonderful gift at this time," says Carmichael. "Marlane has been so respectful. She believes in the stories, she knows who the people are. Really, it's her baby. It was a gift that came from an unexpected place."
The original book started as an artist collaboration project more than ten years ago and was published in 2006 by Acorn Press. Carmichael based these short stories on women that she's met over her life, on PEI and beyond.
"These women exist everywhere. They're family, they're neighbours, they're strangers, they're everywhere. And there is a familiar Island nature about them," added Carmichael.
Marlane O'Brien approached the Island author five years ago about adapting this into a musical. The Confederation Centre signed on this year to bring it to The Mack with the 2018 Charlottetown Festival.
"The women are the heart of the stories. They are stories that needed to be told. Music that needed to be heard," said O'Brien.
Rehearsals for this production got underway in late June and Carmichael has enjoyed being there to see this book come to life by attending practices and workshops. In particular, the author enjoyed a trip the cast and crew took to Lennox Island. The stories include that of an Indigenous woman and her experiences in a residential school and is based off someone Carmichael said she knew.
"Going to Lennox Island was just…it was a validation. It told me that I did right by her. That I honoured that particular character properly."
Stories from the Red Dirt Road, sponsored by Key Murray Law, is playing at The Mack until September 21.

The factory's Alibaba page offers fifty different ancient coin types. I have not inspected any of them personally but a coin from the same dies as the one in the photograph above was published in 2007 by a noted Bulgarian scholar as genuine (I think... can't read Bulgarian).
This manufacturer claims to employ over 100 people at a factory at Qiuaid Town Industrial Estate, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China. Mr. Ruifang Wang is the contact.
Strangely the site claims to offer the coin in the photo for twenty cents, but with a minumum order of 10000 pieces. I have been wanting this particular fake since 2005 and only three have turned up on the market. If anyone does manage to contact the seller I'd love to purchase some specimens of this particular replica.
According to the seller's Alibaba page, "Quzhou Fake Ancient Coins Factory is established in year 2000. We can make all kinds of fake ancient coins such as Ancient Greek, Roman, Biblical, Byzantine and Persian coins. All these coins are made from zinc alloy or brass material with antique silver or gold plated. We can produce fake coins and also metal gifts or metal souvenirs.". This is apparently not a clandestine manufacturer, the seller warns "Illegal usage is not allowed. Please leave us alone if you want to use it for cheating."

Hooray for Hugos!
I'll admit it: I have a sentimental love of the Hugo Awards. The Hugo Winners anthologies edited by Isaac Asimov were essential to forming my early view of what science fiction is and can be (Asimov's introductions to the stories were as important as the stories themselves, painting a portrait of a community of readers and writers that I deeply wished I could join). The Hugo Winners volumes 1-5 sit proudly on my living room bookshelves -- below shelves of Chekhov and Kafka, above a shelf of Virgina Woolf and a shelf of Shakespeare.
I didn't have a problem with Adam Roberts's recent call for the Hugos to get "better", because in amidst the shouts of "elitist!" and "nuh uh!" it led to some good conversation. Criticism of the Hugos is an important tradition. Soon after I discovered the Hugo Winners anthologies in a library, I discovered in a used bookstore two anthologies edited by Richard Lupoff: What If? volumes one and two. Subtitled "Stories That Should Have Won the Hugo", the books offered their own, highly opinionated, introductions to each of the Hugo years (up through 1965, which is, alas, as far as Lupoff got). I had so internalized Asimov's presentation of the Hugo Awards that reading Lupoff's books felt more scandalous than reading porn. Lupoff taught me not to trust the Hugos as a brilliant arbiter of quality, but Asimov's fondness for them never left me -- Kelly Link let me hold hers once, and it was probably as close to a religious experience as I will ever come.
Anyway, all of this blather is prelude to my offering congratulations to this year's Hugo winners. Congratulations!
Three first-time winners, though, I want to highlight here for purely personal reasons. I'll do it alphabetically.
John Klima won a Hugo for Electric Velocipede. I'm wary of saying anything, because a few days ago I actually submitted a story to him, so I'm afraid he's going to think I'm sucking up to him now that he's Hugo-ified, but my cover letter was so sycophantic that I couldn't possibly top that. (Except to say that I think the Hugos should be renamed the Klimas. I'm going to make a motion for that for the next Worldcon.) I first encountered EV five years ago when I reviewed it for SF Site, and I am thrilled that the zine is still being published and that its quality has remained high, with only one notable lapse of taste.
Cheryl Morgan is simply one of my favorite people, and that she has now won a Best Fan Writer Hugo is -- well, the only word I can think of is perfect. When I think of smart, compassionate, and good-humored fandom, I think of Cheryl. This is not her first Hugo (she won before for Emerald City), but it is the Hugo she was, in my utterly biased and joyful opinion, born to win.
Finally, Ann VanderMeer & Stephen H. Segal for Weird Tales. Of course, I'm biased because Ann has been a great friend of mine for years, and she even had the bad sense to publish my little story "How to Play with Dolls" recently, but I think the work she and Stephen have done on WT is astounding, fantastic, and amazing. It's become a magazine that is consistently surprising and engaging, but it has not lost a sense of its important history and identity. I feel like Ann and Stephen are only beginning to show us what they can really do with it, and each issue seems to surpass the high standards set by the previous one. It's a magazine that feels coherent and vital, and that's a hard thing to accomplish.
Oh, and I suppose I should add: In honor of John Scalzi's win, I will not use the word "alright" for at least one day...

Wealthy young women are being murdered, and the police aren't looking for answers in the right places. Enter Tandy Angel. Her first case was the mystery of her parents' deaths. Now she's working to exonerate her brother of his girlfriend's homicide. And danger just got closer.
One of the recent victims was a student at Tandy's own elite school. She has a hunch it may be the work of a serial killer... and Tandy perfectly fits the profile of the killer's targets. Can she untangle the mysteries in time? Or will she be the next victim?
James Patterson keeps the confessions coming as Tandy delves deeper into her own tumultuous history and the skeletons in the Angel family closet.
It hasn't been all that long since my last confession, but I already have so much to tell you. Fair warning: Most of it isn't very pretty.
My story starts with the catastrophic deaths of Malcolm and Maud Angel. They weren't just those wealthy New York socialites you read about in the New York Times.
They were my parents. Dead. They died in their bed under freakish circumstances three months ago, leaving my brothers and me devastated and bankrupt.
Not to mention under suspicion of murder.
We were eventually cleared of the crime—once I uncovered key evidence in the case. So, my friend, what do you think are the chances of another shocking, grisly crime happening in my life? Oh, about a hundred percent, and I can say that with total confidence.
Because it's already happened.
My brother Matthew has been charged with killing his twenty-four-year-old actress girlfriend, Tamara Gee, and her unborn child. Just to make things that much more scandalous, after my parents' deaths, Tamara announced to the press that she had been sleeping around—with my father.
Good times.
That brings me to today, which really isn't the best time to be reminiscing about the past. I had to put on a positive face for Matthew, who I had come to visit.
In prison.
Deep inside the infamous New York City jail known (for good reason) as The Tombs, I held my breath as a beefy guard led me down a long gray cinder-block hallway that was pungent with the reek of urine and male sweat and deposited me in a folding chair outside a Plexiglas cell.
So I did. And immediately began to nervously toy with the buttons on my peacoat. Matthew's trial was set to begin in just a few days, and I was here to bring him bad news. His so-called airtight alibi for the night of Tamara's murder had just completely imploded. I felt sick to my stomach just thinking about what could happen to him and, in turn, what might happen to what was left of our family.
My hands were shaking. I used to be the picture of calm in any and all situations, but these days I was feeling so raw that it was hard to remember how the numbing pills my parents had given me every day of my life kept my emotions in check.
I heard the echo of footsteps approaching from somewhere behind the concrete walls. Still no Matthew. Hinges squealed and metal scraped against stone. A door slammed shut and locked. Each sound was more hopeless than the last.
Finally the door at the back of the Plexiglas cell opened, and Matthew shuffled in with a uniformed guard right behind him.
You might remember when Matthew Angel won the Heisman, how he bounded up onto the stage with a self-satisfied grin and lifted the heavy trophy over his head while camera flashes popped. Maybe you've seen him returning kickoffs for the New York Giants, spiking the ball in the end zone and raising his fist to the sky. At the very least, you probably know him as the dude in the soup commercial. Matthew Angel has always been the guy every Pop Warner grade-schooler wants to be: a heroic rock-star jock, all muscle, smiles, and thoroughbred speed. A football god.
That person was now unrecognizable. Matthew had been transformed into a brooding hulk in an orange jumpsuit, wrists cuffed to a chain around his waist, shackles around his ankles.
My formerly cocky brother was too embarrassed and miserable to even look at me as the guard put a heavy hand on his shoulder and forced him into a chair before uncuffing him.
My eyes filled with tears. It was a feeling I was still getting used to.
Matthew managed a half smile, then leaned close to the grill that was set into the glass wall. "Hey, Tandy. How're you? How're the guys?"
Our brothers, Harrison and Hugo. Even in the throes of this misery, Matthew was thinking about them. About me. One tear spilled over. I wiped it away before he could look up and detect any weakness.
I took a deep breath. "Matthew, there's something I have to tell you."

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
This article focuses on HSV type 2 (HSV-2) infection.
Alternative Names
Herpes – genital; Herpes simplex – genital; Herpesvirus 2; HSV-2
Genital herpes affects the skin or mucous membranes of the genitals. The virus is spread from one person to another during sexual contact.
There are two kinds of HSV:
- HSV-1 usually affects the mouth and lips and causes cold sores or fever blisters. But it can spread from the mouth to the genitals during oral sex.
- HSV-2 most often causes genital herpes. HSV-2 can be spread through secretions (fluids) from the mouth or genitals.
You may become infected with herpes if your skin, vagina, penis, or mouth comes into contact with someone who already has herpes.
You are most likely to get herpes if you touch the skin of someone who has herpes sores, blisters, or a rash. But the virus can still be spread even when no sores or other symptoms are present. In some cases, you do not know you are infected.
Genital HSV-2 infections are more common in women than men.
Many people with genital herpes never have sores. Or they have very mild symptoms that go unnoticed or are mistaken for insect bites or another skin condition.
If signs and symptoms do occur during the first outbreak, they can be severe. This first outbreak usually happens within 2 days to 2 weeks of being infected.
General symptoms may include:
Decreased appetite
- General sick feeling (
Muscle aches in the lower back, buttocks, thighs, or knees
Swollen and tender lymph nodes in the groin during an outbreak
Genital symptoms include small, painful
- In women, blisters may be on the outer vaginal lips (labia), vagina, cervix, around the anus, and on the thighs or buttocks.
- In men, blisters may be on the penis, scrotum, around the anus, on the thighs or buttocks.
- In both genders, blisters may be on the tongue, mouth, eyes, gums, lips, fingers, and other parts of the body.
- Before the blisters appear, there may be tingling, burning, itching, or pain at the site where the blisters will appear.
- When the blisters break, they leave shallow
ulcersthat are very painful. These ulcers crust over and heal in 7 to 14 days or more.
Other symptoms may include:
Painful urination
- Women may have
vaginal dischargeor may be unable to empty the bladder and need a urinary catheter
A second outbreak can appear weeks or months later. It is usually less severe and goes away sooner than the first outbreak. Over time, the number of outbreaks may decrease.
Exams and Tests
Tests can be done on skin sores or blisters to diagnose herpes. These tests are most often done when someone has a first outbreak and when a pregnant women develops genital herpes symptoms. Tests include:
Culture of fluid from a blister or open soremay be positive for herpes simplex virus. It is most useful during the first outbreak.
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) done on fluid from a blister is the most accurate test to tell whether the herpes virus is present in the blister.
- Blood tests that check for antibody level to the herpes virus can identify whether a person has been infected with the herpes virus, even between outbreaks. Tests may be positive even if the person never had an outbreak.
Genital herpes cannot be cured. Antiviral medicines may be prescribed:
- They help relieve pain and discomfort during an outbreak by healing the sores more quickly. They seem to work better during a first attack than in later outbreaks.
- For repeat outbreaks, the medicine should be taken as soon as tingling, burning, or itching begins, or as soon as blisters appear.
- Persons who have many outbreaks may take these medicines daily over a period of time. This helps prevent outbreaks or shorten their length. It can also reduce the chance of giving herpes to someone else.
Pregnant women may be treated for herpes during the last month of pregnancy to reduce the chance of having an outbreak at the time of delivery. If there is an outbreak around the time of delivery, a C-section will be recommended to reduce the chance of infecting the baby.
Possible side effects from herpes medicines include:
Nausea and vomiting
Follow your health care provider's advice on how to
Support Groups
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a
Outlook (Prognosis)
Once you are infected, the virus stays in your body for the rest of your life. Some people never have another episode. Others have frequent outbreaks that can be triggered by fatigue, illness, menstruation, or stress.
Possible Complications
The virus may spread to other parts of the body, including the brain, eyes, esophagus, liver, spinal cord, or lungs. These complications often develop in people who have a weakened immune system due to HIV or certain medicines.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have any symptoms of genital herpes or if you develop fever, headache, vomiting, or other symptoms during or after an outbreak of herpes.
The best way not to get genital herpes is to avoid all sexual contact, including oral sex.
Being in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship with someone who has been tested and has never been infected with the virus can also help reduce your chance of becoming infected. If you have genital herpes, you should tell your partner that you have the disease, even if you do not have symptoms.
Condoms are the best way to protect against catching genital herpes during sexual activity:
- Using a condom correctly and consistently helps prevent spread of the disease.
- Only latex condoms prevent infection. Animal membrane (sheepskin) condoms do not work because the virus can go right through them.
- Using the female condom also reduces the risk of spreading genital herpes.
- A latex condom should be used during all sexual contact, even if the infected person does not have any sores or blisters at that time. Be aware you can still get genital herpes when using a condom.

Winnemucca, NV
Winnemucca Nevada SoftballDo you enjoy watching baseball, but find that playing the game itself can be far too enervating and difficult? Has the overly competitive nature and machismo of many traditional baseball leagues soured you on the game? Are you looking for a suitable youth sport for your children, that won't leave them exhausted at the end of the day? Thanks to Winnemucca NV softball, millions of men, women, and children can enjoy a friendly game of baseball, without the highly competitive nature that is generally involved. Although Winnemucca Nevada softball is often denigrated as a sport for weaklings, it is proven that since the softball in Winnemucca NV is heavier than a baseball, it actually takes greater strength and endurance to play properly.
Although softball in Winnemucca Nevada is fundamentally similar to baseball, there are a few rules and regulations that set the two apart. In Winnemucca NV softball, one of the rules states that you must pitch the ball underhandedly, instead of overhand. As you can tell at a cursory glance, a Winnemucca Nevada softball is larger than a baseball, and a Winnemucca NV softball field is smaller than a baseball diamond. Because the softball in Winnemucca Nevada is easier to hit, yet doesn't fly as far, most of the game is condensed to within a smaller area than baseball.
Women's softball in Winnemucca NV is one of the single most tried and true sports for older and younger women alike. Thanks to the more laid back nature of softball in Winnemucca Nevada, numerous women's Winnemucca NV softball leagues have sprung up around the country, with it being one of the most popular team sports for women of all ages. Because softball in Winnemucca Nevada is the single most popular sport for women in the United States, practically every community in America has a roster of small businesses looking to sponsor teams. Due to the diehard loyalty of women to their Winnemucca NV softball teams, sponsoring one can be an excellent investment for a small business, such as a bar or club.

Despite this negative stereotype, the sport continues to survive and thrive in the United States, with an estimated 40 million women playing the sport annually.
Winnemucca Nevada girls softball is a youth sport alternative to baseball, which allows girls to play in semi-competitive leagues to improve their physical abilities and social skills.

Whether casual or competitive, there is a girl's Winnemucca Nevada softball league to accommodate any skill level.

Georgy Gounev – firstname.lastname@example.com – November 27, 2012
This timeless thought of Thomas Mann that "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to Evil" is completely applicable to the events taking place in Europe today – half a century after the death of this great German writer.
Counting on the demographic changes determined by the high birth-rate of the Muslim immigrants to Europe, the radical Islamists are following a clear-cut strategy designed to bring the entire continent under their control.
If the protection of the rights of every human being is a sacred duty for every democratic country, the Muslim residents of Europe do not have any reason to complain.
In Denmark, for instance, the Muslims, who constitute only about 7 percent of the population, are the beneficiaries of approximately 40 percent of the total welfare budget of the country. Everywhere throughout Europe the Muslims are allowed to create their places of worship – the mosques are dotting the landscape of the continent from Stockholm to Tirana, and from London to Moscow.
Many of the European countries even pay for the construction of the mosques at the taxpayers' expense. The Muslims have the right, as well, to send their children to Islamic schools. They have, of course, their own media outlets. It seems that all the necessary conditions were in place in order to expect a smooth integration of the young generation of Muslims into the mainstream of the European life and values.
Unfortunately, the majority of the representatives of the young generation of Muslims did not develop a "European Dream." Instead, their loyalty was captured by the numerous and indefatigable Saudi "missionaries" and imams imported from the Middle East to promote the cause of radical Islam.
It could be pointed out that a large number of European Muslims want to spend their lives in the 21st Century. At the same time however, in keeping with the requirements of radical Islam the imams want to transfer them into the medieval world of the Prophet Mohamed.
The main goal of the Saudi missionaries in the Balkan area is to force the Muslim population of Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia to adopt the most extreme variety of Islam called Wahhabism. Their activities produced a violent conflict with the local Muslim population.
As very often is the case, there is more than one party responsible for its development not only the powerful assault on European tradition, culture and identity, but above all on European democracy. The fault of the new Muslim community of Western Europe and the Scandinavian countries is that it allowed the most radical and reactionary forces of the Islamic world to speak on its behalf.
What, then, are the Islamists complaining about? In Denmark, for instance, a brand of pastries was called "Jewish pastries" after the gifted master created them centuries ago and happened to be Jewish. It turned out that this name was "offensive" to the feelings of the Muslim residents of the Kingdom of Denmark. As a result of those complaints the pastries were renamed "Danish Pastries."
While still on Danish soil, let's go back a few years ago when the cartoons of Prophet Mohamed sparked a hysterical outburst of hatred throughout the Muslim world. As it turned out, the anger of the unruly crowds that ransacked Danish embassies and businesses and burned the flags of one of the most civilized and democratic countries in the world, was far from spontaneous. The anti-Danish demonstrations were sponsored by a group of Copenhagen based imams who traveled abroad in the aftermath of the publication of the cartoons with the specific purpose of organizing international "demonstrations."
If the Danish Islamists did not like the Jewish cookies, their British counterparts did not like Jewish history and tragedy. It turned out that the history of the Holocaust in some way affects the sensibility of the followers of radical Islam!
Strangely enough, the same tender Islamic souls didn't react to the torture and beheadings committed in Iraq and Afghanistan by the Jihadist murderers. Neither did they raise their voices against the killers who served a theocratic Islamic dictatorship, and shed Muslim blood on the streets of Teheran.
What is revealing in this gloomy reality is the harmony existing between the arrogance of the Islamic Fundamentalists, their Western sympathizers, and the cowardly government bureaucracy sunken in the dirt of political correctness.
The speedy advancement of the cause of radical Islam would have been absolutely impossible without the constant support of the European leftists. Their anti-Israeli and anti-American attitudes blinded them to the nature and the magnitude of the Islamist danger lurking over Europe.
The most abhorrent features that the Islamic Fundamentalists are preparing for the world are the total subjugation of women and suppression of any form of freedom. The powerful voices of all those who support the Islamic "complaints" are the ones who provide justification for every criminal act committed by the Jihadists, while at the same time they are enabling the success of the Islamist strategy designed to conquer Europe.
Very often the pro-Islamic tilt of those "intellectuals" reaches the magnitude of an absolute and frightening paradox. In her attempt to explain the increased number of rapes committed by Muslim criminals against Norwegian women, Unni Wikan, professor of anthropology at the University of Oslo, made the following statement: "Norwegian women must take their share of responsibility for those rapes."
According to the illustrious professor "Norwegian women must realize that we live in a multicultural society and adapt themselves to it"… The psychological and intellectual climate of Western Europe in which professor Wikan's view are accepted as the voice of reason, explains the lack of appropriate action in defense of the national interests when threatened by Islamic Fundamentalism. If, by extension, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, for instance, is told that death threats against her are her fault because she had spoken out, a moral inversion such as this, should not be accepted.
The radical imams who brought such calamity on the country that has been so generous to them deserved to be taken to court or even better, not to be allowed to step again on the soil of the country they betrayed. However, the behavior of the Danish authorities exacted no cost whatsoever from them for their anti-Danish mayhem.
When nothing happened the same imams stated without blinking that considering the dynamics of the demographic changes, soon Denmark will officially be proclaimed an Islamic state (Gates of Vienna – Michael Mannheimer – Eurabia The Planned Islamization of Europe, – December 19, 2010).
Both the British and the Australian authorities denied access to Geert Wilders, a popular Dutch politician under the pretext that Great Britain and Australia were protecting the Muslims from Wilder's "hate speech." At the same time the hate filed messages practiced by the Islamic propagandists continues unrestricted in both countries.
It is time, already to leave the unattractive subject area of this article. The only hope for the salvation of Europe would be a strategy based upon the deeply prophetic thought of the great German writer.

Classes that have been enhanced to implement the
PersistenceCapable interface are referred
to as persistence-capable classes.
Classes that directly access public or protected persistent
fields of persistence-capable classes are called
persistence-aware. Persistence-aware classes
must also be enhanced - each time a persistence-aware class directly
accesses a persistent field of a persistence-capable class, the
enhancer adds code to notify the JDO implementation that the field in
question is about to be read or written. This enables the JDO
implementation to synchronize the field's value with the datastore as
needed. Unless the persistence-aware class is also
persistence-capable, the enhancer does not add code to make the class
implement the
PersistenceCapable interface.
Generally, it is best to keep all of your persistent fields private, or protected but only accessed by persistent subclasses. In addition to the standard arguments in favor of state encapsulation, this approach avoids the hassle of tracking which non-persistent classes must be enhanced as persistence-aware because they happen to access a public or protected field of some persistent class.

State Champion High School Coach Comes Out As Gay--How Did The School Handle It?
Outsports profiled the Micah Porter, the state champion Colorado high school sports coach who came out as gay after 13 years of marriage and two children.
While the story itself is extremely compelling and Porter is now out and appears to have the respect and support of the team that he coaches, one thing stood out for us and it pertains to the way the school handled Porter's coming out with regards to the students he coaches.
Check out this excerpt from the full Outsports piece and let us know what you think:
Despite the warm embrace by the school, there was plenty of trepidation from the administration when Porter told them he was gay just before the 2010 season. After lengthy conversations, Porter was advised not to go into the boys locker room anymore; If he needed something from the locker room, he should have an assistant coach take care of it.
Both Porter and McWhorter said the decision had nothing to do with any concern about Porter's behavior, but rather the potential for false accusations leveled at Porter. The school, by all accounts, is a conservative institution. It was feared that a parent or student may use Porter's sexual orientation against him by falsely accusing him of improprieties in the locker room. The administration decided - for Porter's own protection - that he should stay well away from the locker room.
"You never know when you may come across a family that's against this, and somehow they find out [he's gay] and they want to get back at Micah by accusing him of something," McWhorter said. "But never once did it cross our minds that he would do something inappropriate with our students. Never."
The consequence of the decision has forced Porter to change in school bathrooms. At the end of class each day, he enters a bathroom by himself and slips into his uniform for that afternoon's practice.
"Every day I have to go into a bathroom to change," Porter said. "It's a reminder that I'm a second-class citizen in a school I've given so much to."
The administration also advised Porter to keep his sexual orientation to himself. While many of the staff and teachers at the school were aware of it after his divorce from a fellow teacher, they did not want his student-athletes to know.
"We have a general rule that our teachers and coaches don't discuss their personal lives with their students or athletes," McWhorter said. "The kids don't want to hear about your personal life, and neither do the parents. They just want you to coach or teach their child.
"I support Micah 150%. I always have and I always will. I don't have a bad word to say about the guy. He's a great coach, he's a great teacher."
From what we can tell this is all taking place at a public school. We understand the desire not to have teachers over-share with their students, but does this sort of pressure from the administration to ensure that Porter stays closeted to students cross the line??
Beyond that, while the administration argues that the decision to have Porter change in a school bathroom rather than the locker room was a protective measure for him--does it give that dangerously misguided link between homosexuality and pedophilia more weight?
How do you feel about the way the school has handled and continues to handle Porter's coming out?
Read the full Outsports story here.
I feel that the approach that the school look is very discriminator, they are presuming the worst.
I feel that as a professional, the coach will make professional actions and it should not matter what the persons sexual orientation is in the work place. Personal life says separate from work and home life. Then the school broad needs to across the board make every coach change separately and not the same time as the team. Now what do you think if the changes were made across the broad, then it might be fair.
The school needs to re-elevate their decision and it was not fair for them to even ask the coach to change his methods.
Their concerns are genuine and sincere, but they were not handled in the right way. Most coaches do have assistants these days and perhaps Mr. Porter's could have taken up the slack for both him & the student athletes by establishing a chain-of-command. The bathroom changing thing is wrong. When I attended school, coaches were dressed long before the students were and had their own offices/changing areas.
The schools decision is highly inappropriate. Why don't we have all gays in society use the women's bathroom or dressing rooms then? Also, the school shouldn't automatically assume that the Coach is a criminal who would engage in inappropriate behavior with underage students. What about the lesbian students who use the women's locker room? Would you make them go into the bathroom to change as well? I think this behavior reinforces the mindset that being gay is unacceptable and wrong. If the students see how they treat teachers (role models) for coming out, many gay young adults may choose to hide who they are and I believe we all have the right to live openly and express who we are and not live based on someone's simple minded/conservative points of view. Just for the record, check out your state's sex offender registry and see what is on there. You will find many young males (straight) who engage in inappropriate sexual acts with females. I believe we may want to focus more of our attention on the young straight adults who are the primary principals convicted of sex crimes in their communities.
I think having him not enter a boys locker room is appropriate based on the idea that you do not want to give the appearance of something inappropriate may happen, and while he, the coach, may not act inappropriate he can only control himself and not the actions of others, why put yourself at risk like that. As to keeping his sexuality a secret from his students, I am not saying he should hold a team meeting to discuss it but, if he is asked by a student or a student sees him with someone, he should not have to deny who he is. Students are more aware than administrators would like to think.
I look at sexuality as a highly variant scale. No one is gay or straight, our sexuality is all the same some are just more oppressed than others or lean more to one side than the other. That being said, if it was really a problem to have gay men in locker rooms with straight men then there would be a gay locker room and bathroom for all the gays lesbians and trannies. The problem is not attraction but that the anatomy differs between a female and a male. Girls have what every other girl has so it is ok to change in front of each other. Same for guys. Sexual attraction doesn't really play into it, does it? Btw I am 28yo and a 20yo naked body does not turn me on. Just cause he's gay doesn't make him a pedophile. I think the school is just trying to protect themselves from falsified scandals but it is not sending a good message to treat the coach differently from the others.
The school handled it well IMO - We wouldn't allow a male coach in a girls locker room, so expecting him to be allowed in a boys locker room is asking too much. He has his job and they are being respectful of him. Asking teachers to keep their personal lives out of their coaching is not a big deal if they enforce it across the board.
I think that the school showed an incredible amount of naiveté, if not stupidity, with regards to the intelligence of its student body. Did they think that none of the student-athletes would NOTICE that their coach was, all of a sudden, changing in the bathroom than in the locker room? Did they somehow think that it would go unremarked? Obviously, as usual, the administrative wing of the educational system is so out of touch with those whom they have been entrusted to teach that it is a miracle that the system produces naught but morons. But then again, this is a "conservative" school we are talking about, which goes a long way in explaining where the "conservative" element is coming from in this country.
