"So what do you have on your iPad?" a friend asked me the other day. A few short years ago, the question would have been, "So, what's on your iPod's playlist?" Anyone who knows me at all knows that my iPad, with its Overdrive and Kindle apps, is like a perfect little bit of heaven for me, joining two of my greatest passions – technology and books. As a librarian, I'm hesitant to admit that I read nearly everything on my iPad. I know some of you are thinking that I've in some way moved to the dark side, or worse, betrayed my profession as a librarian. Don't get me wrong, I still love books – their feel, their smell, their history. What I don't like though is the chaotic pile of books that ends up on the floorboard of my car when I make a sudden stop, or the piles by my bedside that topple like dominoes when I need the second book from the bottom of one of the stacks. Before the iPad, I was drowning in books. Now, all my books are neatly tucked away in digital files, easily carried anywhere.
So, what do I have on my iPad? The short answer is, a lot. I love the fact that I can use my library card to check out ebooks from my library for free, but in the spirit of full disclosure, Amazon's "One-Click" payment button is like crack to an addict for me. Let's say, for instance, I'm watching Oprah's show, Super Soul Sunday. Oprah (whose book club, years ago, turned the publishing world on its ear) regularly interviews the great spiritual thinkers of our time, and of course, every one of them has written a book or three. One-Click! Or maybe I've just seen an incredibly great Ted Talk, and I just have to read speaker's book. One-Click! Anyway, what follows are the reviews of a few of my favorite "Super Soul Sunday" one-clicks. But for those of you who still prefer, or even revel in, your piles of books in your car, in your bedroom, in your den . . . don't worry, you can still check out the print copies of these titles from your library.
8 Habits of Love: Open Your Heart, Open Your Mind, Ed Bacon. Reverend Ed Bacon believes that every person can live a full, creative life if they can learn to work through emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness to find what he terms "the beloved" within us. 8 Habits of Love is a spiritual guidebook to living life through love and connection, and freeing one's self from fear and isolation. Bacon uses stories from his life as an Episcopal priest to illustrate ways in which we can all create meaningful lives by developing the eight habits: stillness, truth, forgiveness, compassion, play, candor, generosity, and community. He also implores the reader to ask himself a few important questions such as: How do I forgive those who have hurt me? How do I talk candidly with difficult people? How do I best help others when they need it? And how do I let go of the past and move forward? This is an excellent book for the person who feels he is just beginning to delve into his own spiritual journey, but those further along their path will find plenty to chew on.
The Untethered Soul, Michael A. Singer. The author puts forth the idea that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, based on the fact of our ability to observe ourselves, as well as the world around us. Singer shows how meditation and mindfulness can aid in the development of consciousness and enhance our ability to live in the present moment.
In part one, Singer examines the idea of self and inner dialogue. Part two looks at how energy flows through us. The author develops the idea that we should open our hearts to the energy of the experiences that infuse every moment of our lives. As Rabbi Heschel said, "In every moment, something sacred is at stake." In part three, Singer looks at ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the world. Enlightenment, the embrace of universal consciousness, is the subject of part four. In part five, Singer discusses the pursuit of unconditional happiness in our daily lives. Throughout the book, the author offers easy exercises that help readers experience the ideas set forth in each chapter. Those who have read Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now or A New Earth will be very comfortable with the ideas and teachings of Michael Singer.
Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life, by Richard Rohr.I like to describe Richard Rohr as irreverently reverent. At the very least, readers will find him challenging, but humorous. In Falling Upward Richard Rohr seeks to help readers understand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show that we have to fall down to understand the "ups" of life. Rohr believes that we should spend the first half of our lives building the vessel, and the second half filling the vessel. According to the author, many never move beyond building half of life. Indeed, many people go through life unaware of themselves as spiritual beings. For those people, the second half of life is largely about getting old, dealing with health issues, and letting go of life. Rohr, on the other hand, says that what looks like falling down can largely be experienced as "falling upward." He explains why the second half of life should be full of spiritual richness, offering a new view of how spiritual growth happens and how loss is gain. Falling Upward is a thought-provoking book that is well worth the read. I give it my highest recommendation.

High_Fidelity_PCR >
Clontech's Advantage HD Polymerase is a novel PCR enzyme that provides maximum fidelity as well as extended product length for High Definition PCR applications. The enzyme's superior performance is due in part to the presence of a robust 3'–5' exonuclease activity as well as high priming efficiency. In addition, high specificity is achieved by inclusion of a hot start antibody that inhibits polymerase activity at ambient temperatures. When used with Clontech's optimized reaction buffer, the Advantage HD Polymerase provides the high fidelity, sensitivity, and specificity required for critical applications such as gene cloning and amplification of cDNAs for library construction.
The enzyme provides outstanding accuracy due to the presence of exonuclease activity that results in an extremely low error rate of just 12 errors per 250,000 bp. This degree of accuracy is superior to that of a number of commonly used DNA polymerases. In addition, amplification efficiency is greater than that of wild-type Taq Polymerase. The Advantage HD Polymerase also performs extremely well on GC-rich and other more complex templates.
The high priming efficiency observed with Advantage HD translates into shorter annealing times and increased specificity. In addition, antibody-mediated hot start prevents false initiation events due to mispriming during reaction assembly.
The Advantage HD enzyme is active over a broad range of reaction conditions, and a single PCR cycling protocol can be used to efficiently amplify products of varying sizes. Consequently, Advantage HD Polymerase is an excellent choice for subcloning from cDNA libraries. The enzyme allows you to amplify targets of up to 8.5 kb from human genomic DNA, 10 kb from E. coli genomic DNA, and 22 kb from lambda DNA.
Advantage HD Polymerase is particularly useful for applications that require minimal errors, such as cDNA cloning, site-directed mutagenesis, and mutation genotyping (i.e., SNP analysis).
All of the PCR products obtained using Advantage HD Polymerase will possess blunt ends due to the 3'–5' exonuclease activity of the enzyme. Consequently, the PCR products can be directly cloned into blunt-end vectors. If primers having sufficient vector sequence homology are used, then products can be cloned directly using In-Fusion technology.
Each Advantage HD Polymerase kit provides enough enzyme and buffer for 200 25 µl reactions.
Please see the product's Certificate of Analysis for information about storage conditions, product components, and technical specifications. Please see the Kit Components List to determine kit components. Certificates of Analysis and Kit Components Lists are located under the Documents tab.

The soap has improved creatively in recent months and fans were hopeful that the show would be renewed for another year. Unfortunately CBS had other plans.
CBS canceled the long-running GUIDING LIGHT earlier this year and the show aired its final episode on September 18.
Production for ATWT will end in June and the show will go off the air in September.
More to come...
Read a press release from ATWT about the cancellation here.
"Throughout our history, AS THE WORLD TURNS has remained dedicated to sharing compelling stories that have entertained fans for more than five decades," said Executive Producer Chris Goutman. "We are disappointed and saddened by the news that the show is not being renewed. It will certainly be a loss for all of us, and for the show's loyal audience."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — For all his on-camera carousing and cussing, "Buckwild" reality TV star Shain Gandee was a publicly proclaimed and baptized Christian, and his mother told hundreds of mourners Sunday that she will see him again.
"I know where Shain is," Loretta Gandee told family, friends and fans crammed into the Charleston Municipal Auditorium. "He said about a month ago, 'I know when I die I'm going to heaven.' " Dressed in a hot-pink "Gandee Candy" T-shirt and jeans, she spoke only a few words but bellowed out an unaccompanied hymn, her voice echoing through the auditorium in prayer for their reunion.
Gandee, his 48-year-old uncle, David Gandee, and 27-year- old friend, Donald Robert Myers, were found dead April 1 in a sport utility vehicle that was partially submerged in a deep mud pit near Sissonville. They had last been seen leaving a bar at 3 a.m.
Autopsies determined all three died of carbon monoxide poisoning, possibly caused by the tailpipe being submerged in mud. That could have allowed the invisible gas to fill the vehicle's cabin.
Shain Gandee, nicknamed "Gandee Candy" by fans, was a breakout star of the show that followed the antics of young friends enjoying their wild country lifestyle. Season one was filmed last year, mostly around Sissonville.
The Rev. Randy Campbell told the many young people in the crowd he understands that life bombards them with difficult choices. But he urged them to follow Shain Gandee's lead and embrace their faith.
"This life will hand you a lot of things and call it pleasure, but there is nothing that brings greater joy to a person's heart than serving the Lord," Campbell said. "You may think at this point, you're having fun, but those days will pass."
When they do, he said, God is all that matters.
As hundreds filed past the two closed coffins on the auditorium stage, a slide show of family photos showed the simple life that Shain Gandee lived long before TV cameras started following him.
Set to country music were snapshots of him as a uniformed pee wee football player, as a teenager in a tuxedo for prom, then graduating from high school.
Gandee favored fourwheelers, pickups and SUVs over cellphones and computers. And "mudding," or off-road driving, was one of his favorite pastimes.
Mourners fill service for 'Buckwild' star

When Rob Spear took the reins of the University of Idaho Department of Athletics in the winter of 2003-04, he was inheriting a program in flux. The Vandals needed a consolidated conference home for their athletic programs. They needed updates and enhancements to their 30-year-old facility. They needed new revenue streams and more fans in the seats.
He was – and continues to be, the person for the job. His passion, his competitive nature, his vision all were essential qualities if the Vandals were to move forward.
One of his first achievements was securing a position for all of the Vandal athletic programs in the Western Athletic Conference. His ability to place Idaho in a western conference ended four years of split conference affiliation for the Vandals. The days with the football program competing coast-to-coast in the Sun Belt Conference and the remaining programs in the largely California-based Big West Conference were over.
At the same time, he was charged with ushering Idaho Athletics through a successful NCAA certification, which was completed in 2005.
With a conference home secure, his next mission was to renovate the facilities where the Vandals trained, played and studied.
The Kibbie Dome was just shy of its 30th birthday. The weight room was a veritable dungeon – dark with low ceilings and aging equipment. The outdoor practice facility was mud for six months out of every year. Locker rooms were small and dated. Team meeting rooms didn't exist nor did computer labs or study rooms. The turf in the indoor stadium was a worn-out carpet that did little if anything to brunt the impact of a tackle. Premium seating was a dream.
As he set about tackling the facility and funding issues, he was resolute in continuing to hold Vandal student-athletes to the high academic standards that reflect very favorably the University of Idaho's legacy of producing leaders of vision and integrity.
With a staff in place to guide the academic progress of the Vandals, he started chipping away at the laundry list of facility and financial needs.
First was a new Strength and Conditioning Center, which remains one of the jewels in the renovation project with two-story, floor-to-ceiling windows that provide an expansive view of the campus. Among the state-of-the-art training and rehabilitation equipment is a hydro-therapy pool – one of the first in an on-campus setting in the Western United States.
With the old weight room vacated, an ambitious locker room project began. When it was finished, football, women's basketball, track and field, and swimming had new facilities in place to match the oak-and-marble rooms already in existence for volleyball and men's basketball.
That is what was happening indoors. Outside, the grass field used for football practice as well as intramurals was undergoing its own update. By the time it was completed, the Vandals had back-to-back 70-yard SprinTurf practice fields – with lights. The conversion to an artificial surface extended the use of the fields by more than thirtyfold for athletics and the campus in general.
Next was the turf inside the Kibbie Dome. Because of the multiple uses of the building, it has to be portable. Spear secured funding for Real Grass Pro, which, when it's not in use for football, can be stored to make way for basketball, commencement, track and field, and even an annual home and garden show.
Spear's vision, however, was far from complete. As he worked through these projects, he ushered the Vandals into a new era of marketing and convinced donors of the need for a comprehensive athletic facility feasibility study. Bold moves that paid big dividends.
With marketing and media rights revenue secured through Learfield Communications, he could focus on the continuing needs of Vandal Athletics. The feasibility study showed necessities totaling $35 million to convert the Kibbie Dome into the best small stadium in the country. He worked collaboratively across campus to secure the funding for life safety improvements, which included replacing the 30-year-old plywood end walls with translucent panels. The panels, along with a facelift for the entire stadium, make for a sense of daylight. Even when it's 30 degrees and snowing outside, it's warm, dry and windless inside the Dome.
There was much more to what he wanted the Kibbie Dome to become. He wanted it to provide the best premium seating in college football. In 2011, it became reality with the opening of the Litehouse Center/Bud and June Ford Club Room. The club seats, loge seats and suites are up-close and personal. Situated between the 30-yard lines and just 75 feet above field level, fans don't feel as if they're in an aerie on game day. The companion piece to the premium seating project was a new press box with all the amenities.
As construction crews were busy inside the Dome, Spear was at work from his office raising private dollars for a new video replay board to benefit fans and new video systems to benefit the coaching staffs of football and basketball.
Outside, with the 2012 WAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships on the schedule, the aging Dan O'Brien Track and Field underwent more than a facelift. It was completely gutted and renovated – to the tune of $2.5 million, to make it a premier complex for the Vandals to train and compete.
Along the way, he was charged with hiring 12 head coaches. His thoughtful selections propelled the Vandals onto winning tracks and garnered coach of the year honors in volleyball, men's and women's basketball, women's golf and women's cross country.
The financial and staff investments paid off. In 2009, the football team won its first bowl game in more than a decade, while the men's and women's basketball teams advanced to post-season tournaments for the first time in, literally, decades. Football season tickets jumped by 41 percent over a three-year span and annual giving went from $1.1 million to $1.65 – and growing.
The student-athlete wasn't put aside as the facilities were transformed.
Before the premium seating project was launched, private monies were raised for a suite of team rooms and the complete renovation of the athletic training and equipment rooms. Alongside the team rooms are study centers to ensure the continued academic success of the Vandals, who continued to graduate at a rate 30-40 percent higher than the general population at the University of Idaho, which in and of itself is by far the highest in the state. Collectively, Vandal student-athletes have a 3.05 grade-point average.
As further testament to the dedication to academic success, the Vandals have won – in just six years in the league, a record six Stan Bates Awards, which are given annually to the Western Athletic Conference's top male and top female student-athletes.
Reaching Vandal fans, who are spread over a vast geographic area, was another priority. Hence the development of the Go Vandals television network as well as an on-campus partnership with the school of Journalism and Mass Communications, which produces a weekly news magazine that airs on television stations throughout the state of Idaho and parts of Eastern Washington.
He touched the hearts of Vandals far and wide, young and old when he established the Vandal Athletics Hall of Fame. A charter class of 100 individuals and five teams was inducted over a two-year period to make up for more than 100 years of the absence of a way to honor Idaho's most cherished players, coaches and contributors. That legacy continues today with a bi-annual induction ceremony.
Spear's dedication to service extends beyond the athletic department. He currently serves on five NCAA committees (Chair, Western Athletic Conference Finance Committee; WAC men's basketball liaison; WAC code book committee, NCAA Legislative Council, and NCAA D1 Basketball Issues Committee) as well as five University committees (President's Executive Leadership Team, President's Cabinet, Strategic Planning Committee, Budget Advisory Committee, and Operations Committee) and two community committees (Gritman Hospital Community Advisory Committee and Gritman Hospital Strategic Planning Committee). He is a past chair of the Western Athletic Conference Council and the University of Idaho's Banner Finance Implementation Committee as well as a past member of the University of Idaho's Presidential Search Committee and Dean's Council for the University of Idaho College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. His past community committee membership includes the Latah (County) Economic Development Council (2002-07) and the St. Mary's Parish Finance Committee (2000-10).
Spear is a native of Butte, Mont., and earned his bachelor's degree at the University of Great Falls (1980), where he played basketball, and his MBA at the University of Montana (1983). He earned his doctorate (education) at the University of Idaho in 1993. He and his wife, Sandy, have one daughter, Morgan.

"From one end of the state to the other, transportation projects are providing jobs and improving roads, bridges and transit for people and businesses in California," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
The allocations include $114 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. In total, $14.7 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been distributed statewide.
The remaining $192 million in allocations came from assorted transportation accounts funded by state and federal dollars.
Bay Area Rapid Transit received $50.4 million for the Warm Springs to Berryessa Extension project; the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission received $5.4 million for the Santa Cruz Branch Line Improvements project and the Riverside County Transportation Commission received $52.9 million for the Perris Valley Line Commuter Rail Extension project.

This bill follows recommendations made by the Rail Freight Service Review Panel in 2011. The panel's report encouraged the use of bilateral service agreements between shippers and railways as a way of bringing more clarity, predictability and reliability to rail service.
According to the Canadian government, the new process aims to create an incentive for shippers and railways to negotiate service agreements commercially. If these negotiations are not successful, shippers will be able to trigger a fast arbitration process with the Canadian Transportation Agency. The goal of the legislation is to encourage railways and shippers to work together.
An administrative monetary penalty of up to $100,000 could be issued by the Canadian Transportation Agency for each violation of an arbitrated service level agreement. This is in addition to other existing remedies in the Act (e.g. Level of Service Complaint) to ensure railways meet their service obligations.
Claude Mongeau, president and chief executive officer of Canadian National, says that, putting aside normal operational and commercial issues, there is no evidence of systemic rail service performance problems in Canada warranting the federal government's introduction of legislation to impose level of service obligations on railways through increased regulation.
Mongeau said, "The objective fact is that Canada has a world-class rail system, one known internationally for efficiency and reliability, a key asset for a trading nation like Canada, and that reflects a well-functioning market for rail services.
"The government's Rail Freight Service Review (RFSR) process launched in 2008 was a key factor in spurring further improvement in rail service. CN addressed every commercial recommendation of the RFSR panel to improve service, entering framework cooperation agreements with a wide array of stakeholders and level of service agreements with many of its customers to increase supply chain collaboration and deepen customer relationships.
"Jim Dinning, while heading the RFSR's railway-shipper facilitation process, recognized this fact, saying in his report that commercial forces were already driving improved rail service and advising the government that shippers should take advantage of the improved customer focus of the rail industry. In recent years, CN has launched a comprehensive series of commercial initiatives that benefit our supply chain partners and the Canadian economy. CN is committed to helping its customers be more competitive in markets at home and abroad through better service and a relentless focus on continuous improvement.
"This is why I am troubled by the government's decision to introduce service legislation that is inconsistent with the facts underscoring improved rail service, as well as the government's stated agenda of innovation and productivity to foster economic prosperity for Canadians. I also believe the legislation sends mixed signals to customers and suppliers around the world about the government's approach to commercial markets in Canada.
"CN invites the government to identify specific, systemic service issues that warrant this legislation. We are ready to address any legitimate problems brought to our attention, in the same way we addressed all the commercial recommendations of the RFSR panel. We will continue to make our case that a commercial framework for the rail industry is what Canada needs to foster prosperity."
Canadian Pacific agrees. CP said that throughout the RFSR process, it has maintained there is no need for additional regulation between railways and shippers, as it is the company's belief that commercial undertakings, coupled with a stable regulatory regime, remains the best approach to promote supply chain coordination and investment.
"The proposed legislation contains key elements of the Dinning Report," said CP President and CEO E. Hunter Harrison. "We firmly agree that improvement in Canada's world-class rail supply chain will best be achieved through offsetting commercial undertakings, in particular, better traffic forecasting and more certainty on traffic volumes.
"CP has been implementing various commercial agreements that were included in the Dinning Report's recommendations, including a service agreement template and a commercial dispute resolution process. As such, we are confident strong commercial relationships will continue to emerge with little need for the processes described in the legislation.
"Canada is fortunate to already have the best rail system in the world from which to build upon," said Harrison. "CP continues to make across-the-board service improvements where customers are benefiting from more consistent, safe and efficient service."

And so, I'm happy to say that I've got 19 here for everyone. I'm not going to spoil anything, so, read and learn about what's going on!
Lost in a Dream, Chapter 19
I would love to say that everything that happened last night was a dream. And that I woke up that morning and Brayden was next to me. But it wasnt a dream. And he wasnt next to me. To be honest, I didnt even sleep last night. Every time I closed my eyes, his face was there to keep me awake. My tears were there. The pain. I was cold. Alone. I hope Brayden did get some sleep. Where ever he was. Id caused enough pain.
My heart was pounding in my chest as I heard keys jingle and the lock tumble. Click. Light flooded into the room from the hallway and a figure cast a shadow in the light. Could it be...
No. It was Jason making sure I was okay. Fucks sake, Matt. You look like shit, he said as he turned my lights on.
What did you expect to see? I grumbled as I tried to shield my eyes from the light.
Did you get any sleep? he asked concerned, ignoring my question. That was probably wise of him.
Not a wink, I said staring off into space. Whos Brayden staying with? Do I know who hes staying with? I asked thinking Jason knew something.
Why do you ask? Youre not going to try and get him to talk today, are you?
I shook my head side to side as I sat up in bed. I just wanna be sure hes in good hands.
Matt, I dont know who hes with. But, Im sure hes in good hands, he said trying to cheer me up. Hes got friends, just like you do. And you know what? He could be with someone you and I both know.
Thanks. I said gloomily.
Im gonna keep checkin on ya today. Try to take care of yourself, and get some sleep if you can! Jason said as he left the room. I think he kept my keys. At least, I didnt see him put them anywhere. It was probably a good thing he kept them.
Its easy to lose track of time when youre lost in thought. Every time the door opened, I hoped it was Brayden. I hoped he would walk in, sit down, and listen. But, that was a false hope. I knew better.
At one point, it must have been after lunch, Jason came by. He lectured me for not eating lunch, but I wasnt hungry. He made me promise to go out with him and Kelsey later, so I said yes. Im glad he was still my friend. Hes a good friend.
I called Evan at one point. I was as nervous as the first time I called Brayden. I dont know exactly why, but I suspected it had to do with my inner hope that Brayden was with either Evan or Lukas. Or, at the very least, that they knew what had happened to him.
What the fuck do you want, asshole? Evan said as he answered. I was so shocked I didnt say anything right away. Tears welled up again. I had cried countless times lately; I was surprised I hadnt run dry.
I still hadnt composed myself so Evan broke the silence.
Hello? Evan questioned harshly.
Is he ... is he okay? I said softly before I sniffled. What a stupid fucking question.
I had hoped to get a response, but that didnt happen. Click. Evan hung up on me. It hurt. It felt like my nerves were ripped out, wiggled at me like they were a toy, and thrown back in my face. I had been sitting on Braydens futon, so I just fell over onto my side and cried. I tried to call Evan back just to talk, but he didnt answer. It rang twice and then went straight to voicemail. Hey, youve reached Evan Schmidt. I seem to be busy... I hung up. Why wouldnt he listen? Is this how Brayden would react, too?
Much to my surprise, a few minutes later, Evan came down and walked into my room. He walked straight over to the futon, sat down, and said, I need to hear from you what the fuck happened before I pass my judgement. he said, expecting me to answer, So just tell me. What the fuck happened last night? Tears fell from my face as I stared ahead, still silent.
I... I started, but sputtered as I tried to find the right words. I let Dean kiss me last night. I finally said.
Okay ... Evan paused. Now, he looked like he was trying to remember something. Wait, he started like he had found the key to it all, he kissed you? Did you kiss him back?
The thought of that kiss still hurt; I decided just to explain to Evan everything I could remember. I took a deep breath, exhaled, and let the story flow out. Somehow, Dean and I ended up in the kitchen alone. He said something, but I wasnt really listening to him. I smiled because I felt it would be the polite thing to do, and then he grabbed me by the back of the head and kissed me. I was so shocked I couldnt even close my eyes. It felt so wrong.
Okay. he said. Well, you still have to make this right.
I know. I said solemnly. I just hope hell listen when the time comes. I dont think Ill sleep until my body forces me to. Every time I close my eyes, I see his face. His tear-filled eyes. My eyes watered as the image came to mind again.
I looked over at Evan and could see his eyes were tearing up, too. Sorry. I said flatly as I looked down in shame. Can you keep him busy? Can you help him have fun? Can you do that for me? I dont want him to be as miserable as I am. He didnt do anything wrong. This suffering is mine to bear. Its my penance, I said as looked him back in the eyes.
He got up and said, Ill try my best.
As he made his way towards the door, I said, Evan? If he ever wants to use the room for anything, let me know. I can be gone for however long it takes. If he wants to sleep here, I can sleep in my car. I dont want to be hinderance to him anymore. He nodded, opened the door and walked out. I noticed him go into Jasons room and close the door behind him, but I didnt really want to know what they were going to talk about.
The rest of Sunday was quiet. Of course I was still upset about everything that had happened, but I was also glad that nothing else happened. I had to look on the bright side of something. Dean had texted me a couple of times throughout the day, but I didnt even look at those messages. I didnt want anything to do with him.
Jason and Kelsey took me out to dinner like they promised. I didnt eat much, but at least Id have leftovers for a couple of days. I half expected Kelsey to lecture me at some point for being a dumbass. But she didnt. I wouldnt say she or Jason were supportive of what Id done, but they still did their best to cheer me up. I just wish it could all work out that easily.
Later that evening, I heard Jasons door open and close. Rather noisily at that. Curious as I am, I got up and peered through the eye-hole in the door. I wanted to see something. Something that would make this all better. And hear something I did! A laugh from Jasons room. Braydens laugh! I felt that warm, fuzzy feeling inside when I heard it. I wondered what Jason must have said to get Brayden to laugh... Whatever it was, thank you Jase! Youre the best!
Then, my heart started to pound and that warm feeling ... the feeling Id wanted to feel for the past day ended. Jasons door was opening. And my Brayden was right there. He walked up to my door -- our door -- and reached up, as if to knock. I thought my heart was going to leap right out of my chest. Brayden was here, less than two feet away.
Suddenly, something caused Brayden to stop. His arm froze in place. He looked to his side. He looked back one last time. I wanted so badly for that door to disappear. I wanted to reach out and touch his face. Wanted to talk to him. For whatever reason. Braydens arm fell to his side. He wasnt going to knock. Why? Why wouldnt he knock? The nerves I felt, the warmth inside, all gone. Gone with that single motion. He sighed to himself, frowned, and walked away.
I started to cry all over again. I couldnt catch my breath. I leaned my forehead against the door and sobbed. Braydens afraid. Afraid to talk to me now! Why couldnt I just open that fucking door and hug him? I was so close to him ... yet so far away.
Suddenly, there was a knock at my door. Whoever it was pushed the door open. I fell backwards. I didnt even want to know who was there. I landed on my ass and slid a foot or so. But all I wanted to do was hide my face. I laid down on my back on the cold floor and covered my eyes in shame with my hands.
Oh shit, Matt! I heard Jason say as he towered over me. Im so sorry! What were you doing there?
Oh, uh... I mumbled. Jason reached down and helped me up as I tried to collect my thoughts. As stupid as this sounds, I heard your door open and close. So I went to my door and looked out the eye-hole. I was about to sit back down, but then I heard a laugh. His laugh. I knew it had to be Brayden.
I looked into Jasons eyes to see how stupid I must sound. I couldnt read him. I didnt know what to say to him. I just want to say thank you, Jase. Thanks for whatever you did to make him laugh! I hugged him.
I had said thanks to Jason without smiling. I think that was a first for me. It felt weird. I had hugged him with so much uncertainty. Id never done that before. Nothing felt right.
Okay, Jason said, breaking my awkward tension, then why were you crying just now?
I saw him, Jase. He was right at the door. He was gonna knock. And then he didnt. He just walked away.
It will all work out, Matt. Jason assured.
Later that night, I watched a movie with Jason, Evan, and Kelsey. Even though Brayden and I had only been with each other about three weeks, it felt weird to not be cuddling during a movie. Or in a dark room.
After I returned to my room for the night, I decided to ask the Internet what I should do. I had been on a forum before and I looked through the advice area on occasion. Sometimes, you never know when you might be able to offer some advice to someone else.
I quickly scanned some of the topics that had been made recently. I stumbled upon one titled, Trouble in paradise by MidwestSwimfan2009. I started to read it, because, well, my paradise was in trouble, too.
ok. so, me and my boyfriend have been dating for just over three weeks. weve had sex and we have great chemistry. i thought i loved him, and i thought he loved me. weve both said it and neither of us were opposed to that. we even live together now.
Interesting. Maybe I could help this guy out.
this is kind of a long story, so im just gonna throw that out there. on thursday night, we were fucking and got walked in on. i knew we were being watched from the very first, but it turned me on so much i didnt want them to leave. the two guys that walked in happened to be friends, so when we were done fucking, they tried to tease us about it, but neither me or my bf would have any of it. at that time, i didnt think it was a big deal, but it really freaked my bf out.
Oh my God, Brayden!
that night, i slept like shit. my mind was really bothered by the fact that he was freaked out about the walk in and that it turned me on so much. i confessed to it being a turn on the next morning, and after a couple moments he said that he didnt really care as long as we didnt let it happen again. but, i think it really did bother him more than he was willing to admit.
I think it did, too.
friday night, my bf and i didnt fuck, but we 69ed. everything seemed just fine. he made sure to lock the door and we both laughed about that. i thought everything was good. then, saturday morning came around, and he woke up in a weird mood. it wasnt around long, but he was really gloomy at first. its not that hes not a morning person. hes always positive and always smiling, no matter the time of day...
Not anymore...
... so, after a few minutes, i asked him why he had never drank before. of course we were still underage, but everyone i had known drank at some point. and he told me that he was afraid of his secrets (like coming out)...
Thats not exactly how I put it, but I guess he got the point.
... and then he told me he probably would, now that the cat was out of the bag (hes out), as long as he was in control it couldnt hurt. by the time we got to the party, it was pretty packed. we were both pretty excited, and it turned out we had a friend there who we werent expecting to be there. that friend and my bf teamed up for some beer pong, and my bf warned me things could get interesting (remember, he never drank before). while they were playing, a girl noticed the way i was looking at my bf and we started talking. it turned out she was a lesbian and we both just chatted the night away...
As I read about the girl, I remembered getting a little jealous about him talking to her. Im so stupid! I had nothing to fear with Brayden. I never did.
... every time id look over at my bf, he was having a blast. and he was getting really drunk, and the other friend was getting really touchy-feely with him. after they were done playing, they both went to the kitchen. id enough of the party, so i went to get him and bring him home. when i went in the kitchen, my bf was kissing the guy. i called my bfs name to make sure it was him, and it was. i started crying right there and just left. i didnt look back. i went to our room and packed some clothes and i stayed the night on a friends futon.
so, i need some advice. my bf has said that he gives people a chance, whether thats to get to know them or anything else. should i follow his advice?
Amazingly, that was just the main post. I started to get curious at what other people said, so I continued. I shouldnt have. One person wrote, Hes already out of the honeymoon phase. You should be too. Move on from him for your own good.
Hes been playing you since the start. Hes a cheater, and cheaters cheat. Itll just happen again if you let him back in. I started to tear up as I read on. These people were so mean!
Not all posts were like that, though. One said, Let him back in, call your two friends, and have a hot and steamy four-way! Of course someone was just thinking about the sex...
Another post made me feel more at ease. It read:
This is early relationship stuff. A lot of times early stage relationships exhibit scenes out of bad romance novels. At least two things are going on here. The two of you need to learn how to be in a relationship, something, by the way, that needs to be discussed, not assumed. The other thing is that every person who drinks has to take responsibility for their actions while high or drunk. Perhaps your bf learned a lesson. Talk to him.
Yes, he has! A very awful lesson. Please, Brayden. Please ignore some of the others. Listen to this one!
I kept reading because I saw another post from Brayden.
ok, so today has been interesting. he called my friends bf and they talked for less than a minute before my friends bf hung up. the friend that im staying with said i should let him talk to me. everyone close to me says he still cares. so, i went and talked with his best friend. after we talked (he happens to be our RA), i almost knocked on the door to our room. but i couldnt. i need more time. was that the right thing to do? should i have chickened out?
The next person to post was the same guy from earlier. The one who I hoped Brayden would listen to. That post read, Dont talk to friends. Talk to him directly.
Please, Brayden. Please, please, please listen to this guy.
I decided that right before bed, Id make a topic of my own and just go to sleep. It would give me a chance to hear the neutrality, and maybe even Brayden would see it. I clicked on New Topic, found the subject line and typed I messed up, and started to tell my story.
My goal with the post was simple: to get advice. I wanted to hear what other people had to say, and to do that, I had to explain what had happened. If they noticed the similarity between my story and Braydens, then good for them. I would also hope that they would notice that Im willing to admit that I was wrong and that I still care.
I decided that in order to reach my goal, I had to explain my side of the story from the beginning. I tried to show how quickly our love had blossomed. I tried to explain where I thought the trouble started: the night Lukas and Evan walked in on us. My mind was quite foggy for a couple days because of that.
I think the wild card of the whole sequence was alcohol. I told the forum this, and I said that I lost control once I was at the party. At the time, I didnt know if I lost control because I was drunk, or because I got jealous after seeing Brayden with that girl. But, I saw his side of the story, so I didnt write anything about the jealousy.
I had to be really clear in the post that I was extraordinarily torn up by the whole thing, because I really was. I just didnt know what to do. Heck, I still dont know what to do! The one thing I had to be clear about was that I didnt kiss Dean back. It wasnt even a mutual kiss.
The last thing I wrote about was the incident at the door. I didnt want to ask if I should have opened the door, because thats already in the past. I cant change something Ive done. If I could go back and change things now, I would have hung out with Brayden the whole night.
I ended the post by asking two related questions. Should I approach Brayden? Or, should I give him some time and space and let him approach me?
I quickly did a once-over of my topic, decided it was good enough, and clicked Submit. I went to bed shortly after, with Braydens shirt clutched firmly in my grasp.
To be continued...

What's bigger gamble: Darrelle Revis on himself or Bill Belichick on Revis Island revival?
So this here is a gamble from both sides; the New England Patriots betting on Darrelle Revis and Darrelle Revis betting on himself.
At stake is a precious $12 million in Patriots salary cap space this coming season, a season with the potential for everything to be won or another year of Tom Brady's prime to be lost. It's a season for Revis' future earning potential to hang on the line: he maintains his elite form, at age 29 by the fall, and he gets a big, multi-year deal from someone, somewhere. If not, there's no guarantee for anything.
There aren't two more competitive people in the NFL than Bill Belichick and Darrelle Revis, something both understands during their back-and-forth battles across the Pats-Jets rivalry. These aren't publicly jovial people. They live to win.
Now in a time when both are a bit desperate, they come together, nothing certain, nothing promised.
New England had to find a lockdown corner after Aqib Talib proved too expensive and jumped to rival Denver (the Broncos gave him $26 million guaranteed in an overall six-year, $57 million deal). And after Tampa deemed Revis overpriced himself (the Bucs owed him $16 million this season), the Aliquippa, Pa. native needed a landing spot to showcase his skills.
So it's a one-year deal, put up or move on. Everyone has to make this work. Everyone is invested in the belief that the old Revis Island game still lives in a guy approaching 30 with a surgically repaired left knee, the kind of trend lines that don't bode well for this position.
Belichick has never shied away from rolling the dice. He's famous for working the NFL scrap heap. There was aging malcontent Corey Dillon, who rushed for 541 yards and two touchdowns for Cincinnati in 2003 and looked done. He went to Foxborough and rushed for 1,635 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2004.
There was pouting star Randy Moss who many thought was finished – physically and effort-wise after he delivered just three touchdowns for Oakland in 2006. He caught 23 for New England in 2007.
The list goes on and on. This is different though.
Revis was a Pro Bowler last season despite coming back from ACL surgery that played a part in ending his run with the New York Jets. He again was so dominant that quarterbacks didn't throw the ball his way. It changes the entire way a secondary can operate even if it leaves him with impressively unimpressive stats: just 11 passes defended, just two interceptions in 2013.
As a result, he comes with the kind of serious price tag many of the others didn't. There's no questioning his heart or temperament or will to win. And that comes at a cost too. Even the less successful Belichick moves – Albert Haynesworth or Ochocinco – were usually cheap or in exchange for a late-round draft pick. When they blew up, the damage was minimal.
Not now, not with Revis. The Pats had an estimated $19 million in cap space on Wednesday. That's now just $7 million. They've never had a cornerback make this much (Revis will be the highest paid in the league). It may require restructuring of other deals, most notably defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, to fill other needs. So this is a major, major move for Belichick, who tends to throw millions around like manhole covers.
There was almost no other option, though. Revis may not be enough to get New England past Denver. The Pats will take their chances though. The idea of trying to win another matchup with the Super Bowl on the line without a cover man the quality of Revis was unfathomable.
New England still needs to improve its pass rush around Chandler Jones. It still needs wide receivers, especially with the prospect of Julian Edelman leaving via free agency. With so little cap room, that will have to come, it seems, via the draft, development or finding a gem in the rough.
That's Step 2. This was Priority 1. A day after Talib bailed, New England may have upgraded at the position, both in skill and durability, while not boxing themselves in long-term with salary cap problems that Denver took on.
The future is always on the mind of this franchise, it's how it has put together 13 consecutive winning seasons, reached five Super Bowls and won three. Some Pats fans curse the perceived lack of urgency. Yet it's New England that is always there deep into January, knocking on the door.
So here's Belichick betting he can get one more great season out of one of the best that's ever played the position. That's all. He doesn't need two. He can count on a motivated veteran in a contract year. He can enjoy trotting Rex Ryan's favorite player out against him twice next season. And he can hope he has enough for another title.
And here is Revis, saying that he can deliver as always while taking a run at that elusive Super Bowl. He's so confident in himself he'll eschew long-term money for the opportunity to prove it and then cash in as the salary cap increases in 2015.
Once bitter rivals, they all need each other now. And they all need this to work and work well … or else.

Their first album "Incorrect Thoughts" was released on Vancouver label Friends Records in 1980. They always planned to make their older material available again, but a now defunct San Francisco label had issued an unauthorized version of "Incorrect Thoughts" in the '80s which substituted some remixes without the band's knowledge, included tracks which hadn't made the cut for the original album, and changed the cover art. It was an unpleasant mystery for the band and three decades later the former owner of that label was asserting ownership over the original album, preventing its re-release without an expensive and contentious legal tussle.
The Subhumans decided to meet the challenge to their ownership of their own material by rerecording all of the songs from the "Incorrect Thoughts" album, which they proceeded to do at the Hive Studios in Vancouver, assisted by Jesse Gander. Original members Brian Goble (vocals), Gerry Hannah (bass), Mike Graham (guitar), and newly-recruited drummer Jon Card (formerly with Personality Crisis, SNFU, and DOA among others) got together in 2005 to record a new album of original material, "New Dark Age Parade," for Alternative Tentacles (Virus366) and the band had reactivated into a live entity. The intent was neither to slavishly recreate the old recordings nor to radically reinterpret the songs, but updating the sounds and the recording techniques while maintaining the original spirit of the album. As a bonus, Subhumans recorded six additional songs from the same period for the second 12" of a two LP set, some of which had never been recorded before!
We just uncovered a few "damaged" copies of this with bent corners, still guaranteed to play fine! Super cheap!
"Contemporaries of DOA, they were never as famous as the U.K. [Subhumans], but their their shit holds up. This is a contemporary re-recording of their long out-of-print and unavailable-because-of-fucked-up-copyright-problems LP "Incorrect Thoughts," and it stands up as amazing early punk!"- Thrasher
"Prevented by a legal dispute from reissuing one of the 50 greatest punk albums ever, their extraordinary, rare 1980 first LP on Friends Records Incorrect Thoughts, Vancouver's Subhumans (not the later English hardcore Subhumans) did something smart. Back from the dead (defunct 1983-2005) and as remarkably determined as they were as younger men, the foursome rerecorded it in compelling fashion, while adding old unrecorded tunes. It would be a shock how sizzling this 2010 version is if we hadn't heard their kicking, spitting 2006 comeback LP, New Dark Age Parade; still, who expected such a credible update, three decades removed? From the outsider manifesto 'Big Picture' to the acerbic 'Slave to My Dick' (as ubiquitous a Canadian punk standard as their 'Fuck You'), the three originals, gruff-voiced singer Brian 'Wimpy Roy' Goble, scorching guitarist Mike Graham, and thumpin' bassist Gerry 'Useless' Hannah, along with drummer Jon Card (a contemporary from Personality Crisis and SNFU, later D.O.A. and briefly NoMeansNo) tear into Incorrect's 14 tunes with ticked-off conviction that suggests frustrated anger spilled into the recordings with producer Jesse Gonder--much as fed-up punk-era distaste (see 'New Order' and 'Model of Stupidity') fueled the Dick Drake-engineered original. 1980 drummer Jim Imagawa had a more fluid style than Card's, but Card hits harder so that's a fresh dimension. And add the searing unknown songs- Hannah's 'Twenty-First Century' and 'I Gotta Move' particularly smoke!- and Same Thoughts becomes a must even for those who own Incorrect Thoughts. Don't doubt it-try it.
-Big Take Over
"This is the SUBHUMANS incredible first album Incorrect Thoughts that originally came out on Friends Records in 1980. There is one major difference, the album has been re-recorded with today's line up. Normally this isn't a good thing.. This release is the exception. The SUBHUMANS have bolstered their current line up with Jon Card who was the incredible drummer for SNFU and PERSONALITY CRISIS. This release proves that the current line up can pound out their classic punk songs just as well as the original line up could. I would hope so given that three of the four original members are in the band. Well there has been almost thirty years since these songs were written so the rockin' ability may be called into question. I am here to report that the current line p can play the 'Big Picture' just as good as the day it was written. And 'Slave To My Dick' sounds even heavier than the original. So why re-record this classic? Was it just to take a second stab at these songs in the studio[?] If that was the case t was worth it. But sadly it was more because a label known as CD Presents put out the album too and is making it legally impossible for the band to re-release. This is the label responsible for the 'Rat Music for Rat People' comps and I guess the dicks running the label resemble the rodentia they pay tribute to. The label didn't have permission to release the record, to re-mix it or to change the cover artwork. So instead of making some lawyers rich the band went into the studio and re-recorded the album. And to entice you further the band gives us a second LP's worth of stuff. Material from that era. They re-recorded two songs that appeared on the little known 'Vancouver Independence' comp and four additional songs that were written back in the day, but have never before been recorded. An added bonus if you buy the vinyl [is that] you get a card for a digital download. My brother owns a copy of the original and I haven't heard it since he moved away. But this re-recording makes it worth missing out on all those years. 'Firing Squad' sounds as great as the day it was first pressed back in 1980. 'Death to the Sickoids', 'Big Picture', 'Let's Go Down to Hollywood', they are all here. The songs are in a different order, but I am betting you won't notice. The same message laden, hard rock infused punk that we love the band for fills out these grooves."

Whilst working as a swim coach, and from his first hand experience in competing in triathlon, Scott Unsworth realised that the wetsuits used at the time were completely inadequate for swimming. In 1992 Scott started up a company called Performance Speedsuits Ltd, based out of his parent's house in Auckland, New Zealand. He began to develop his "Speedsuits", which featured greater flexibility and buoyancy than other existing wetsuits. The business started with Scott selling his Speedsuits from the back of his car at swim meets and triathlon events. The Speedsuits quickly gained a following amongst athletes and the business started to grow. Scott was taking his first steps towards introducing what would become Orca, to the world. A young New Zealand triathlete named Hamish Carter became one of the first athletes to sign up with the company that is now Orca. Over the next 13 years Hamish Carter went on to become one of the best known triathletes in the world - culminating in a gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

Elefant is a full-featured, but refreshingly simple CMS and PHP Web framework. It features an intuitive, streamlined admin interface, a tightly integrated WYSIWYG editor, dynamically embeddable content objects for building dynamic Web sites without touching code, and an extremely fast, secure, and flexible framework for add-ons and themes. The core CMS includes page editing, a blogging engine, site navigation, file and user management, automatic version control, a tool for translators and multilingual site management, and an in-browser theme/layout editor. It is also extensively documented and has a small but friendly and active developer community.
PhpPeanuts is a framework for developing database-backed applications in PHP. Rather than building an application from the bottom up, you initially only build domain model classes in which you specify properties, relationships, and database table names in metadata. The framework dynamically scaffolds getters and setters, persistency, navigation over relations, and input and delete validation. The abstract user interface instantly offers a rich set of pages for searching, browsing, drilling down, editing and reporting over your domain model. From there on you extend and refine both the domain model and the user interface to make it what you want by defining specialization classes and overriding inherited methods.
Ding is a PHP framework that provides dependency injection (by Setter, Constructor, and Method), Aspect Oriented Programming, XML, YAML, Events support, and some JSR 250/330 annotations as bean definition providers, lightweight, can be deployed as a PHAR file, simple, and quick MVC, syslog, TCP client and server with non-blocking sockets, timers, and custom error, signal, and exception handling, PAGI integration (for the Asterisk gateway interface), and PAMI integration (for Asterisk management). It is similar to Java's Seasar and Spring.
Roosevelt is a Web framework for Node.js which uses Teddy for HTML templating, LESS for CSS preprocessing, and Closure Compiler for JS minification by default. It is designed to be configurable so you can supply your own templating system, CSS preprocessor, or JS minifier if you like. Built on Express, Roosevelt is designed to abstract all the crusty boilerplate necessary to build a typical Express app, sets sane defaults with mechanisms for override, and provides a uniform MVC structure for your app.
SCMS is an MVC based secure content management system. It is designed from the ground up to withstand common Web application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, session fixation/hijacking, and many others. It is designed for PHP 5.0-5.2.x and MySQL 4.1+, and it can optionally support PostgreSQL as a database backend.

DooPHP supports some common stuff found in a Web framework, such as an MVC-base structure, RESTful APIS, a REST client, URI routing, database ORM tools, a model generator, HTTP Digest Authentication, a flexbible compiling template engine, logging and profiling tools, and more.
Jenner is a Web page templating system with a twist: it runs completely within a Web browser. Templates are just normal Web pages with special syntax inside text nodes, attributes, or comments. Unlike other in-browser templating systems, Jenner does not require overloading of "class" attributes or invalid HTML; all Jenner templates are valid Web pages and the template expressions flow in a very natural way. Having the template engine in the Web browser instead of on the server takes a lot of load off of the server, and makes for a clean separation of presentation and content. Jenner is very powerful: it has the full power of the Esel expression language at its disposal. Templates can be rendered from JSON data, and can be re-rendered without a browser-to-server round trip.
Catharsis.NET.Web.Widgets is an ASP.NET MVC tag library that provides useful social media widgets that be be included on your Web pages. Web widgets are implemented as C# POCO objects that implement System.Web.IHtmlString and provide a convenient fluent interface. Extension methods for System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper are provided for ease of rendering. It supports Cackle, Disqus, Facebook, Google, IntenseDebate, Mail.ru, RuTube, Surfingbird, Tumblr, Twitter, Vimeo, VKontakte, Yandex, YouTube, and the VideoJS player.

Following up on a plan he unveiled last September to let states apply to be exempt from basic elements of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind education law, President Obama will today announce the first 10 states that have qualified for such exemptions.
The Associated Press, citing "a White House official ... who spoke on condition of anonymity because the states had not yet been announced," says the states are: Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
One state, New Mexico, has been denied a waiver but is working with the administration to see if it can soon qualify, according to the wire service.
The goal of the waivers is to give states more flexibility as they seek to reach educational achievement goals set by the federal government when George W. Bush was president.
NPR's Larry Abramson reported in September, when Obama's waiver plan was announced, that:
"States that apply for and receive waivers no longer have to label schools as failing if they fall short of achievement goals. Instead, states can come up with their own plans to boost performance. They also no longer have to set aside a certain amount of federal money to deal with low performing schools. ...
"States must show that they have ways to measure student growth and get students ready for college or a career. They also have to be developing comprehensive teacher evaluations that include the use of standardized test scores."
The AP adds that while "No Child Left Behind requires all students to be proficient in reading and math by 2014 ... Obama's action strips away that fundamental requirement for those approved for flexibility, provided they offer a viable plan instead. Under the deal, the states must show they will prepare children for college and careers, set new targets for improving achievement among all students, reward the best performing schools and focus help on the ones doing the worst."
The plan for exemptions, Larry also reported, worries some "advocates for minority and special education students" who are concerned that such students will be ignored.
