TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners
The Red Sox are hoping the third time's a charm for Jackie Bradley Jr. as they try to avoid their first four-game losing streak of the season Tuesday night in Seattle. Bradley, who was recalled from Triple-A for the third time this season, will get the nod in center field in place of the injured Jacoby Ellsbury and bat ninth for the Red Sox. The 23-year-old began the season as the team's starting left fielder, but was optioned back after a rough beginning in which he collected just three hits in his first 31 at-bats. Things seemed to be picking up for Bradley when he was recalled back to the big leagues on May 29 and hit his first major league home run on June 4, but he was optioned back again on June 8 after Shane Victorino returned from the disabled list. But after a strong showing in Pawtucket, Bradley will once again try to prove he's here to stay. The outfielder is hitting .297 with seven home runs, 18 doubles and 21 RBIs in 45 games in Triple-A ball this season. Bradley and th...

Craig and Diana Curtice were down on their luck. Their bills were piling up and they were down to their last dollars. Moving from one relative's house to the next, they were depending on their tax refund to get back on their feet.Diana has four kids, two of whom are disabled. She says one of their disability checks was just recently cut off.They say they went to Robert Edward, a good friend who has done their taxes for the last few years. But this time they never got their refund money.Craig says Edward filed their taxes in January pro bono. Diana said she gave Edward a prepaid debit car with routing number for a place to have the money transferred. But the couple says they soon discovered Edward opened his own account under Diana's name and made himself the authorized user. They claim he pocketed their federal tax return of $8,566. Edward, who they claim made one excuse after another, may look familiar.He is the father of Kathleen, the 7-year-old girl from Lincoln Park who suffered from Huntington's Disease. The dying girl was bullied and taunted by her adult neighbor, Jennifer Petkov. The story drew international attention before the young girl died in 2012.In fact, those are the circumstances on how the Curtices and Edwards met and became close. Craig says he wrote a song for Edward's dying daughter.After they realized the refund money was missing, they immediately contacted the IRS and Secret Service and FOX 2's Taryn Asher was told the U.S. Attorney's Office is investigating.Edward returned Asher's phone call late Thursday afternoon. He confirmed to her he is being investigated, and he did file an illegal tax return for the Curtices. But, he claims he did not take all of the money. He says there's more to the story but would not elaborate.

I was very athletic in High School playing Baseball, Soccer and Tennis. Went to college and left all sports, gained some weight over the years. Decided to take charge and change my life I started Bodybuilding. Did traditional bodybuilding routine and nutrition for years. Started getting into Triathlons for more diversity. I found CrossFit by accident in 2008. I was researching off-season training for triathlons. I was also post injury from a bicycle accident which resulted in surgery to my optical socket. I tried CrossFitting by following the main site and realized quickly that I didn't have the equipment. I went to the only affiliate in Western Mass, PVCF. They were in Easthampton at the time. After about a year, I heard that they were moving to Northampton. Deciding that was too far to drive everyday. I took a deep breath, and decided that I should affiliate. I became CrossFit Level 1 certified in October, 2009 and moved to my first location the floor space was 500 sq. ft. with only 12 clients. When we opened we were the 2nd CrossFit affiliate in Western Mass. We kept growing in March 2011 we moved into our current space which has over 4000 sq. ft of floor space. Never did a triathlon since because CrossFit became my sport. I ran the SunTrust National Half Marathon in DC in April 2009. I trained CrossFit only. I did only one training run which was 8 miles. Most of my runs in CrossFit were less than a mile. The reason that I started Swarm was to help as many people as I could.

I discovered Crossfit through a friend while I was in school to become a personal trainer in 2009. During that time I looked into it did some of the workouts and watched a lot of videos. Upon this I was instantly hooked. I have competed in many sports such as football, rugby, track, and baseball, but coming into crossfit was a whole different experience for me. I would look at the main site (Crossfit.com) workouts, local gyms workouts and write them in my journal to do the following day (or at least try to). I found Crossfit Swarm in 2010 when one of my own clients I was training told me about it. I was given an opportunity to learn more about fitness at a different level. I was also given a chance to help coach at Crossfit Swarm as well, where in the following winter I received the Level 1 certification. I have been coaching/motivating people here for a few years now and everyday makes me even better. I have gained so much more knowledge and met so many people from doing crossfit that I might not get anywhere else. Getting introduced to Crossfit also introduced me to a variety of other sports as well such gymnastics, strongman, powerlifting, and olympic lifting, all of which have taught that i may be good at some of things i do in the gym but i won't be great at one thing.
Stephanie Lencrenski
Certified CrossFit Level 1 Trainer (2010)
In high school, I was an avid runner and three sport athlete. Upon entering college, I decided to focus on my studies and left competitive sports behind, but my desire to compete continued to be present. Throughout college I ran weekly community races. Running was a release and my therapy, but running through the years began to take a toll on my body. After running long distances, I began having severe hip pain. As a senior in college, I decided to give spinning a try, at my local gym. I immediately fell in love with the intensity and challenge it provided to my body and endurance. I got certified and became a spin instructor, the following year. Five years later, in 2009, I felt like I needed more. Spinning was not providing me with the definition and body tone I strived for. A friend of mine talked me into trying a CrossFit class. I entered Pioneer Valley CrossFit on a sunny afternoon and there were five people deadlifting, what looked like an insane amount of weight, then running outside in between the lifts. The owner of PVCF was working out as I watched and he started shouting expletives and slamming the bar. I was scared out of my mind as almost left, but as I watched some more, I decided this was exactly what I needed. I joined CrossFit the next day. I became so passionate about CrossFit that my friends and family knew they could not schedule a dinner, party, etc, during my gym time, because I simply could not miss a WOD! PVCF moved towns and my commute to the only CrossFit gym in the area was forty-five minutes, each way. My husband decided he wanted to see me a little more, so he did some research and found CrossFit SWARM. I joined SWARM when there were approximately ten members, in the smallest space you can imagine! As I continued my CrossFit journey at SWARM, I decided to get Level I certified, in order to improve my own lifts and have a solid knowledge base of what I was doing. Following my certification, Brian asked me to join the coaching staff. I was thrilled to share my passion for CrossFit with others and my passion for CrossFit has only grown over time. I have never been stronger and I feel healthier than ever. Many of you may not know, but I CrossFitted through my entire pregnancy with my son. I truly believe my labor and delivery were so successful due to my health and fitness, thanks to CrossFit.

I was born at a very early age. Played soccer and studied Kenpo Karate,Tai Chi, and Ba gua for 14 years. Fire Fighter for 17 years and counting. Was an Instructor at the Mass Fire Academy for 12 Years. Were I was certified in Group Exercise and Coaching. After injuring my hip and being told I would need a replacement by the time I was 45 I stopped exercising for 3 Years. When I was 20 pounds over weight and was out of breath climbing stairs, I tried CrossFit in 2010. After 1 year I had lost the weight, and forgot which Hip was injured. I found the intensity and ever changing dynamics that are a staple of CrossFit were a good fit for me. CrossFit allows me to discover my weaknesses and turn them into strengths. In 2012 Because of my background in group instruction, my focus on perfect form, and my ability to motivate. Brian asked me to assist with classes.
Laura Riccio
Sabrina Capaccio
My name is Sabrina. At the gym you may also know me as "Lola". I found CrossFit kind of late in life, but I only wish I had found it sooner! I was nearly 38 when I started. In my younger years, I was never an athlete. I was an average sized woman who struggled on and off with an extra 20 pounds all her life, especially after having kids. I always thought the ideal look was the skinny Victoria's Secret model so I always felt my butt was too big and that I was too fat, and tried multiple diets to lose weight and achieve smaller numbers on the scale. I tried nearly every workout program out there, from Buns of Steel to 10-Minute Trainer to Planet Fitness, and many others in between. I didn't "like" doing any of them but I did them because I felt I had to at least make an effort at exercising. None ever really produced any real or long-lasting results. And at the globo gym, I had NO idea what I was doing. I pretty much was on the elliptical machine or treadmill every day because I thought that boring, endless cardio sessions were the answer, and I had very little exposure to the weight machines. Not to mention the notion that had been drilled into my head all my life…that lifting weights would make me bulky! Enter CrossFit. I found it by a fluke, and I count my blessing for it every single day. From my very 1st workout with B, I was hooked. I knew that with guidance AND motivation from a trainer at every session, I could go further in my quest to get healthier. Who could get bored with a different workout every day? That makes things fun and exciting! As time passed, I learned about the Paleo lifestyle as well as the fitness aspect. When I began, I could not do a single pushup and I certainly could not do a single pull-up. Three years later at 41, I consider myself an athlete, and am in the best shape of my life, far better than what I was at even half my age. And what a journey it has been! As time passed, my strength, speed & stamina have grown continuously. I can now bang out large numbers of pushups, pullups and can throw around some pretty respectable numbers for weights. I have learned about the greatest fitness program I have ever come across, the mechanics of how to lift with good form, joined the most amazing community of people who share the same goals, and have learned more about nutrition than I ever dreamed possible. And most surprising to me? The fact that my "ideal" of aesthetic beauty changed from a skinny Victoria's Secret model to being the healthiest, fittest, strongest, fastest woman I can be. I now aspire to have a big butt and thick thighs because they mean I am STRONG! Although I lost about 22 pounds since I began, I don't feel the need to endlessly fight with the scale to determine my self-worth. I lift heavy-ass weights every day but am not "bulky" by anyone's standards. Coming to the gym is not a chore – I LOVE IT! I am still seeing myself change and I continue to improve every day. I love working out here at CrossFit SWARM and have been doing competition training since this past April in order to take myself to the next level. And best of all, I love sharing my knowledge and my story with others; I have been involved with B's internship program so I can become an Assistant Coach at SWARM.

Mirror Android Notifications on Linux Desktop with LinConnect
Productivity Sauce
Want to receive notifications from an Android device directly on your Linux desktop? LinConnect lets you easily add this functionality to any machine, as long as it's on the same wireless network as the Android device. LinConnect consists of two parts: the service that runs on the Linux desktop and the Android client app. The server component is written in Python, and it has only a few dependencies. If you happen to use Ubuntu, you can deploy and run the LinConnect server using the following command:
wget --quiet https://raw.github.com/hauckwill/linconnect-server/master/LinConnectServer/install.sh; \ chmod +x install.sh; \ ./install.sh
On other Linux distributions, you can deploy the LinConnect server manually by installing the required dependencies, and cloning the project's GitHub repository using the git clone https://github.com/hauckwill/linconnect-server.git command.
Once you've done that, switch to the linconnect-server/LinConnectServer/main directory and start the server using the python2 linconnect_server.py command. Next, install the LinConnect app on the Android device. Launch the app, and pick the machine running the LinConnect server from the list of available servers. This connects the app to the machine and sends a test notification to the desktop. That's all there is to it. From now on, all Android notifications will be mirrored on your Linux desktop.comments powered by Disqus

Spurs' Vertonghen looks beyond Newcastle horizon
Tottenham Hotspur's Jan Vertonghen (L) pictured during their Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur in northeast England on February 1, 2014 - by Lindsey Parnaby
Instead Vertonghen has already identified the clash with Liverpool next month as the defining game of Tottenham's season.
The weekend victory over Everton moved Sherwood's side back up to fifth where they sit three points behind Liverpool in fourth spot ahead of the latest round of matches.
That has revived Spurs' hopes of forcing their way into the top four and claiming a place in next season's Champions League.
But Belgian international central defender Vertonghen knows they must improve on the performance that secured a narrow 1-0 win over Everton if they are to maintain their challenge.
And he has identified then trip to Anfield to face Brendan Rodgers's side as the game that could make or break the north London club's ambitions.
"We probably need a win, so we will go for that. It was a bad day for us when we lost 5-0 at home to Liverpool in December but that game didn't reflect our strengths compared with theirs."
Sherwood has overseen an impressive improvement in form since he succeeded Andre Villas Boas as manager, with his side securing six wins from nine league games.
"We need to work on our shape and our movement and then the sharpness will be there," Vertonghen said. "Tim now has a chance to work on our shape. Until now, he has done a very good job. The club and the players believe in him."
Emmanuel Adebayor has been the major beneficiary of the change in manager and his match-winner against Everton was his seventh goal in 11 games since being restored to the squad by Sherwood.
Vertonghen added: "Adebayor is back and has been unbelievable. Just one player coming in can sometimes affect the team."
Meanwhile Alan Pardew has targeted Manchester United boss David Moyes, although he insists it's nothing personal, as the Newcastle manager hit back at "insulting" claims from pundits that his side are coasting, with little to play for between now and the end of the season.
Pardew has set his sights on Newcastle finishing above soon to be deposed champions United for the first time in the Premier League.
Even though the Old Trafford club continue to struggle under Moyes, Pardew claims it would still be a major scalp to overhaul the team immediately above them in seventh place and four points ahead of them going into the final 13 league games of the campaign.
"People say our season is over, which is an insult to our professionalism," said Pardew.
"We have a professional incentive -- and it irritates me as manager of Newcastle when I hear different."
Pardew insisted Newcastle aren't mathematically clear of the fight for survival until they collect the three points needed to reach the 40-point mark that normally assures Premier League clubs of avoiding relegation.
However, with another top flight season all-but secure, a tilt at gaining a Europa League spot has been all but ended by a run of six defeats in eight games.
Newcastle have failed to find the net in four of their last five outings, and must convince supporters they aren't just marking time until May.
Pardew added: "Manchester United are directly above us, that's why I've picked them out, not because of David Moyes, who is a big pal of mine.
"When we finished fifth two seasons ago, what was the incentive then? There was a point in that season, in February when everyone had written us off saying the season was over, but look what happened."

RG3 Meets First Rookie on Sunday
By SBRForum.com
QB Robert Griffin III is one of the many quarterbacks this year that is fresh out of college and is expected to have a big impact on his team right away. Along the way, RG3 has already run into three of the second-year quarterbacks in the league in Cam Newton, Christian Ponder, and Andy Dalton, but for the first time on Sunday, he and his Washington Redskins are going to be facing a fellow rookie quarterback.
The surprising part about that? Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts aren't on the schedule this year. Nor are Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins. Brandon Weeden and the Cleveland Browns are, but not for a few weeks yet. Heck, we're not even talking about Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. No, we're talking about Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Foles is going to be thrown into the mix this week, and perhaps for the rest of the season, after QB Michael Vick suffered a concussion last week at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. Foles played respectable ball, going 22-of-32 for 219 yards with a TD and a pick, but in the end, he wasn't good enough to account for all that the defense and the special teams ultimately allowed in that game.
Little does Foles know that this is a huge audition for him, because odds have it, the quarterback spot is going to be open next year for the Eagles, and so too, will the coaching position in all likelihood. If Foles plays well in games like this one, he might be in line to become an NFL starter in spite of the fact that he was a Day 3 pick in the NFL Draft.
The former Arizona Wildcat at least has some history on his side. The Eagles have won and covered three straight games against Washington, and two of those three games were won by at least 24 points.
The bad news for those making NFL picks on Philly though, is that it isn't expected to do the same in this one. The Eagles are 3 ½-point underdogs with Foles under center in Landover this weekend.

Ahhhh... come on! How come us mac users don't get cool products like WoW keyboards and stuff? So unfair! LOL! Then again, the Mac keyboard is pretty good as it is... And memorizing your commands isn't that hard if you are a dedicated player... and thus I digress... No WoW keyboard necessary for me... :)

Back to School: Hoochie Style
Last week, we brought you five things not to buy your tween for back to school. Here are four more.
Unfortunately for moms, Avril Lavigne has launched a rocker clothing line called "Abbey Dawn" at Kohl's. The 23-year-old wanted to ensure this line was "sexy and flattering" for tweens, but wait a minute: is "sexy" really a key component of our tween girls' wardrobe these days? We certainly hope not!
Avril often wears these pieces on tour. Sure, they might be OK for a twentysomething rock star...but for everyday tweens, the fishnets and schoolgirl skirts are definitely more appropriate on a day like uhhh...Halloween. Seeing tween trends heading in this direction especially concerns new moms. By the time their toddlers face junior high, who can even imagine what they'll be wearing (or what they won't)?
Check out some pieces from Avril's line below:
Tiered Mini Skirt
|Jump Suit
At first glance we thought this may be a shirt, but guess what? It's a jumper, meaning shirt and shorts in one. $40.60
|School Girl Skirt
This doesn't need an explanation as to why it's inappropriate, right? (Cue "Hit Me Baby One More Time.") $28
|Leopard Tank
Since when is it OK to wear tank tops to school? Maybe this would be all right as a pajama top...$21
What do you think: Rocker cool or too cool for school?
Want more fashion and beauty? Click here.
People in the fashion industry and people getting into the fashion industry need to stop associating the word SEXY with tweens AND teens.
The only acceptable thing I see here for a tween or teen is the tank and only worn as an UNDER garment to a V-neck and Scoop necks that are too low cut. No, not acceptable for school as a stand alone tank. Maybe layered with another tank for the pool or beach but still not for school.
Girls can wear standard sleeveless shirts to school now but it can't be strappy, it has to be at least 3" wide on each shoulder (IOW no tanks).
Shorts and skirts have to be no more than 5 inches from the top of the knee not 5 inches from the bottom of the cooch. These skirts and jumpers won't fly. There is no way I would purchase those for my tweens or my teen. Not even with leggings. It has that dirty schoolgirl look to it.
Do you really want your daughters schlepping around barely dressed in attire like this with people around that already have their minds in the gutter? Me? Not a chance.
What schools do the tweens wear these things to? In my high school (graduated in 2001), we had to wear shorts to the knee and shirts that were sleeveless had to be 2 inches wide at the straps. Before the days of the cute bermuda type shorts, we just didn't ever wear shorts to school. Things are still the same there now as I know high schoolers and what they can and can't wear. So, again, who are they designing this stuff for if they can't wear it to school?
When does Avril's line for 'mothers who pimp their daughters out' hit shelves?
Seriously, I wouldn't let my daughter be seen in these outfits.
I can't believe that designers actually think these are cute.
I think the jump suit is cute with leggings and maybe 3/4 jacket.
Mini-skirts are tired. It's overused, overexposed and abused. It's so 1990's.
I think tank is fine! Long as it is layered or worn with a jacket or cardigan.
You parents, don't flip out. Get creative with those items. Layer it, cover it, and accessorize it.
That mini jump is adorable with leggings and 3/4 jacket along with those rounded flats is fine.
Those tiered or school girl mini-skirts is boring. Old. Britney wore it before for her concerts. It's so clueless (movie). It is outdated. Leave it to Avril, yuck.
Tank top is fine. The one pictured above is fine, really. It is wide enough on the shoulder straps. Layer it over with the wider strap tank. T-shirt under it, layer it with jacket or cardigan. Simple. BE CREATIVE long as it doesn't offend school dress code.
I personally think jump suit is adorable.
What scares me is if this is what tweens and teens are wearing now, what will my four year old be asking me for in a couple of years?
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. AVRIL should stick with her day job and hire a stylist. seriously
I´m 21 years old and I could wear it… but for photography sessions. I have better clothes and more cheap, haha.
Being younger, sometimes I can relate to the newer fashion of today. But lately it really has been getting out of hand, even for me. I would never put my child into clothes like that or even allow her to buy them herself.
Girls today need to be taught at a young age that it's not clothes, makeup and jewelry that makes us beautiful its the person we are.
i think the outfits are fine as long as you layer them. I mean seriously people, you guys dont realize that what was stylish when you were a teen and what is stylish now is COMPLETLY DIFFERENT. Although i must agree the pink tank top is completly ugly. and the jumpsuit. but everything else is fine. You should let your children enjoy shopping and let them wear what they want, but if people at school make fun of them then your children will know to make better choices next time. The only rule that I would go with on the skirts is that if you put your hands on your sides when your relaxed and the middle finger is longer than the skirt, then the skirt is too short. But then you buy a bigger size. honestly it isnt a big deal!
If my 10 year old wanted anything from this line I think I'd have a stroke right there in the store. Thank GOD she is so far a very modest girl and likes clothes that cover her. She has a keen fashion sense too, but fashionable and naked are not necessarily the same thing!
who says we shouldn't be allowed to wear tanktops to school? as long as the neckline isn't too low and the straps are too thin, it should be fine. especially during the summer or spring
I was offended with a recent JcPenny mailer that had an outfit that was not appropriat for the tween on the cover. Why are we allowing these people to be role modles for our kids!! Kids need to be dressed cute, nice, comfortable, fun, not SEXY!!! Your just oppening the door for trouble. You may get creative with them at home, but when they get to school, you child may have other ideas. Be alert parents, its your money, you should approve it before it comes in your house!!
You people are crazy.
i think that they are cute and awesome!
Of course, too much skin is too much.
Just for all of you to know, your kids know it! These clothes might no suite a 10-year-old, but they are just fine for kids 15+
and you mothers out there, I bet you haven't noticed that Avril is way better role model than, for example Britney etc who spread a message that if you get a rich man, lose some weight and go to different operations to look better, your dreams come true?
I'm glad I've always had good self-esteem, but you should protect kids who don't..
Avril teaches you to be yourself, to be honest and love yourself the way you are. She doesn't encourage using drugs or partying all night long.
In one song she speaks against premarital sex and so on.
Finally a responsible, yet funny, role model who sets a good example.
Calm down, folks
I hope Avril will keep up the good work!
17-year-old girl who loves abbey dawn

The Pagoda is one of the most recognizable structures at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and in worldwide motorsports. It was built during the massive construction project from 1998-2000 at IMS that included the original, 2.605-mile road course, Formula One-style pit side garages and media center.
The Pagoda towers in its magnificence centered on the start-finish line. It has nine tiers or viewing levels and reaches a height of 153 feet, equal to a 13-story building. The flagpole on top extends to 199 feet. The glass panels facing the main straightaway were specially built in England.
Housed in the new Pagoda are state-of-the-art facilities for race control, safety, timing and scoring and radio broadcast booths.
Fan Photos From Flickr.com
Original track builder Carl Fisher had a wooden Pagoda erected in 1913 to handle the officials, timers and scorers and media. It burned to the ground the day after the race in 1925, but quickly was replaced by a similar structure for the next race and lasted into the second half of the 20th century.
Terre Haute, Ind., businessman Tony Hulman purchased the track from World War I American flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker after World War II. During the next 10 years, Hulman began replacing the wooden stands with aluminum seating. Finally, in 1956 the second Pagoda went down, and a tall, steel-and-glass control tower took its place until 1998. The wooden Pagodas stood for 43 years.
Behind the new Pagoda tower is the Pagoda Plaza area, a focal point for spectators who wish to take a break from viewing the on-track action.
The Pagoda Plaza is fully landscaped with grass and a brick walkway shaped like the oval. A 36-inch strip of bricks runs from the track's start/finish line, underneath the Pagoda tower and into the middle of the plaza. Large video screens show on-track action and messages. The area is an ideal location for spectators and families to relax.
Interesting facts about the current Pagoda at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway:
- Consists of 10 levels in the tower, two levels in race control.
- Overall Pagoda height is 199 feet (60.65 meters), from ground to top of flagpole. Height of Pagoda structure is 153 feet (46.63 meters), from ground to roof.
- 65,000 square feet (6,039 square meters) total area.
- 6,100 cubic yards of concrete.
- 1,170 tons (1,189 metric tonnes) of steel was used.
- 19,500 square feet (1,812 square meters) of glass.
- 17,855 square feet (1,659 square meters) of translucent panel that is outside the balcony levels surrounding the Tower.
- 6,050 square feet (562 square meters) of composite panel.

Dear Carolyn • My soon-to-be first grader is in a small camp. There happens to be a handful of boys a few years older that he has taken a liking to, and he's been picking up bad things. The other day he told me, "Girls drink Pepsi, so they can get sexy; boys go to college, so they can get knowledge." I know he doesn't get exactly what he's saying, but he knows it's a put-down to girls. I could see this coming out of a 9-year-old, but it really hit me hard coming from a 6-year-old. My husband and I have talked to him about hanging out with good kids, not emulating bad behavior, and that girls are as smart as boys. I know the road ahead is long, and he'll be exposed to much, much worse than stupid sayings. But how can I help him tell the "good kids" from "bad kids"?
Dear Anonymous • You can start by staying away from the "good kids"/"bad kids" mindset. It's just a branch of the same messed-up tree that produced the girls-are-sexy/boys-are-smart" howler in any of its forms, rhymed on non-. People are complicated. Even the ones who somehow aren't complicated deserve to be treated as individuals, not members of this or that group. So your message to your 6 (and then 7 and then 8 and on and on)-year-old needs to be that it's not right to put people in groups. Everyone's different and everyone deserves the chance to be what he or she wants. Boys can be sexy and drink Pepsi! Heck, girls can drink Pepsi, be sexy and go to college, or none of the above if that's what floats their boats. I just caution against going to Jupiter to get more stupider. You do have to be careful not to take every little thing too seriously, lest you become easy for him to tune out. If he hasn't picked up the anti-parental eye-roll yet, expect it soon. But the consistency of your anti-stereotype message is what's going to make it stick, and, conveniently, just about everything you experience with him is a teaching opportunity for this. Teach him to resist stereotyping by teaching him to respect individuality, and teach that by respecting him as an individual.
