The Gossip Game
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Gossip Game reality series shows women competing against each other professionally in the New York City hip-hop media scene. It contains lots of strong vocab (with stronger words bleeped), social drinking, plus references to marijuana and antidepressants. There are also references to sex acts, promiscuity, and scenes of tolerated sexual harassment. Despite the female casts' competitive and catty behavior towards each other, they also demonstrate that women are able to succeed in an industry that appears to be hostile to women.

What's the story?
THE GOSSIP GAME is a reality series that follows a group of female media personalities who report on the New York urban music scene. It stars Kim Osorio, the editor-in-chief of The Source magazine, broadcasters like Hot 97 FM's radio host K. Foxx, Power 105.1's Angela Yee, and Sharon Carpenter, a reporter for Russell Simmons' Global Grind website. Up-and-coming freelance pop culture writer Jasmine Waters, a.k.a. Jas Fly is also featured. Rounding out the group are bloggers like Candace "Ms. Drama" Williams and Vivian Billings, known as NYC Gossip Girl. From interviews to gossip reports, these women must compete against each other to be the first to report on the latest and greatest news as well as the darkest and dirtiest secrets of the people in an extremely patriarchal industry.
Is it any good?
The Gossip Game reveals how difficult it is for women to professionally succeed in the urban music scene, and highlights some of the things that these women do to get their stories, including hyper-sexualize themselves, put up with sexual harassment, and create uncomfortable relationships with artists and other reporters in order to get their latest scoops. However, it also shows how these professionals view their work as women in field, especially when comparing the work of traditional broadcast journalists and those who are making a name for themselves through various online media formats.
Like any reality series, The Gossip Game features a fair share of catty behavior among the cast, who find themselves having to interact with each other at various media events as well as obviously staged social settings. Adding to the show's entertainment value are the brief-but-frequent appearances of various media and hip-hop personalities like Russell Simmons, Macy Gray, and Funkmaster Flex, just to name a few. But it also shows that while this field of work poses a fair share of challenges for women, there are those who are able to navigate it and be successful at it in their own right.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about what messages this show expresses about women. What challenges does it show the women facing? How do they treat each other? Are these women role models for others who want to work in their industry?
What exactly is urban music? What kinds of stereotypes exist about the urban music culture and the people who are a part of it? Do you think it is the media that perpetuates these generalizations? What are some of the empowering messages that come from this culture?

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/)
- - question on cycleing (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/question-cycleing-4942/)
question on cycleing
so i got a 55gal tank. a guy that lived up the street from me had it for years with fish in it. so basicly emptyed the water, moved it up the street to my house, and cleaned it up, added water, and aqua safe. let it run for a few hours with the filters it had in it, and added the fish back in. my question is, is there going to be a cycleing period or is everything ok and i can start adding fish.
I would suggest getting an API Freshwater Master test kit. Ask any of your friends who keep fish or your lfs for an established sponge filter. This will help cycle your tank fast. In the end, you want zero ammonia and nitrites with nitrates below 40 ppm. Ammonia and nitrites are toxic to the fish. Your tank is on cycling phase at the moment. Don't add any more fish at this moment.:)
im confused, i have two established spong filters in there now. they are from the tank when it was at the other house. the tank was only down for about and hour to hour and a half.
so will the fish be ok that are in there right now.
How did you clean it up? With tap water? If so, the chlorine probaly killed off some or all of the good bacteria. Get the API test kit, and test the waters daily and change water when needed. You will probaly still have to cycle, depending on how you washed the tank and stuff.

I need to open an mlm market for a Fuel Treatment additive in China - repost
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 USD
- Total Bids 5
Project Description
I have a fuel treatment additive product from the USA. This product is called XTREME FUEL TREATMENT. The company which produces this product is based in the state of UTAH. The name of this company is called SYNTEK GLOBAL. I would like to build a network organisation in China for the sales of this product.
Anyone who joins this company will be regarded as a distributor of this company. When a customer purchases their product, you will be paid 25% of the purchase price no matter how small or how big the the purchase price is. What is more exciting is the fact that you are paid 25% EVERY time EACH of those customers buy repeatedly. Moreover, when you create downlines you are paid for recruitment and also you get a share on the purchases of your downlines. This means that there is a dual compensation system. What is best is the fact that this product is a product which invloves fuel. Every product involving with Fuel is a highly consumable product and therefore will be a fast-moving product.
If you want to make money in this world of ours it is better to get involved with businesses handling ENERGY products like fuel. Believe it or not, fuel is a product which will be in demand throughout.
Everybody who would like to make a real difference with their income, this is the opportunity for them.
Thank you.

Hey Bonnie- Join the club- I bought a shrimp plant that is going to die
this winter too- couldn't resist- I just love it. Wasn't sure about it's
zone til I got home either. Oh, well. It was worth it. It is a beautiful
bright clear yellow, with white "shrimp". Good luck trying to overwinter
it- or at least enjoying it while it lasts.

Subject: Re: [CHAT] New plant acquisition...
From the Chicago Botanic Garden I found out yours is a T. caeruleum
Throatwort, Trachelium caeruleum 'Devotion Purple'
The listing in A-Z says it grows to 3-4 ft and is hardy in zones 9-10. Tch,
tch, if you've been looking at it for a couple of weeks, you might have
looked it up b4 buying......but then maybe you didn't WANT to know, eh?
Since you've made the investment, I would try to overwinter it in the
garage. As a back up, try cuttings. A-Z says to take softwood cuttings in
early summer. Trachelium are all woody-based perennials.
Last winter I brought in an Osteospurmum. I cut it back, it limped along,
looked pathetic by May. But you should see that plant now! Four times the
size it was last year and putting out more flowers every day. I took
cuttings from my Persian Shields last fall and have a nice row of them this
year, interwoven with some Verbena 'Homestead Purple'. This year I bought
some interesting Alternantheras and a Cordyline, which I'll try bringing in
this fall, too. Also, since I now know that Coreopsis 'Limerock Ruby' isn't
hardy, I may bring that in.
These experiments are not always successful, but it's worth a try. Good

Access is via Highway H 4.5 miles west of Highway 13. Highway H is curvy with many overhanging trees, but doable. Gate attendant was very friendly. The site (#4) we reserved wouldn't work for our 45 foot motor home because we couldn't make the turn to back-in. A drainage ditch with a marker post was directly across from the site. Another attendant came to us immediately and showed us other available sites. We rode in her car. She was extremely helpful and accommodating. She found another site that worked perfectly for us. The interior roads and sites are paved. Good amount of green space between sites. Each site have a new picnic table, fire ring, and lantern holder. Many sites have landscape stones lining each side of the site, so be careful when you back in. Most sites are level, but some are a challenging. Many trees at each site, but we didn't have a problem getting satellite TV from our site. Other campers did have problems. Verizon had 2 bars. There is a full service marina within walking distance. Our rate reflects Senior Pass. There is another C.O.E. campground nearby, which is better suited for big rigs with wider roads, sites and less trees. It is called Mill Creek and is also off Highway 13. - eaglessoc
Jul 2012 - $21.00
Would have rated a 10 if they had sewer hookups. Plenty of room for the 40 ft motorhome on many sites. Nice private bath/showers. Price was $10.50 with senior access pass. Marina next door rents boats and slips. Most sites have 50 amp and water. Very nice peacefull campground. Recently upgraded. - kenp
Sep 2011 - $19.00
First time to this park. Campground in on short peninsula into the Lake. Most of the sites have lake views while the ones located on the outside of the loop are lake side. Sites to the south of the swimming beach have a nice easy slope to the water. Sites located along the main entrance have a steeper slope to the water. The sites were fairly close together, but still plenty of room to open slides and awnings. No problems getting around in our 32' travel trailer. Cars parked along the road could cause a few issues. There is a marina at the campground with minimal supplies. Otherwise the nearest stores are 10 miles away. No problems with cell phone coverage either. We will return to this campground. - kdgran

Beautiful campground. Large spots close to lake. Can walk down to lake and fish. Nice area with picnic table, fire pit. Good Verizon signal and satellite signal. This is one of the nicest campgrounds we have stayed in. We had not made reservations. When we arrived on Tuesday the office was closed but the sign said to pick a spot that showed available. I then checked online to see when the spot was reserved. - Modela2007
May 2014 - $11.00
This was one of our favorite COE campgrounds, quiet, all with views of the beautiful Table Rock Lake. A great place to visit Branson, while staying in a scenic beautiful campground. Sites were all very large, paved, and modern. Nice brick walls and picnic tables at sites. The last bend on hill right before the park is scary the first time, but wide enough to navigate easily. Price reflects Golden Age Pass. - Donna/Dave
Aug 2012 - $21.00
At the time of this review, we're still at this campground (can stay 14 days). We had been RVing for only 3 months when we discovered it (by someone mentioning it to us). What a great place! The only reason I'm not rating it a 10 is that there are no sewer hook ups at the sites. The park is well designed and it's easy for big rigs to maneuver. Many of the sites are directly adjacent to the lake, but I believe all sites offer a water view. Each site has an area with a picnic table and fire pit. There is an area of the lake that is roped off for swimming. There are quite a few flies, so bring repellant, especially if you visit in August. This is one of those places that draws crowds for the weekends, but clears out during the week. We will definitely return here when passing through the area. - Guinness

Somewhat noisy when we were there, this was a short three night stop and could be longer for many folks. Great view of harbor, boat operations and the like. Not too clean bathroom facilities. Site needed cleanup, fire pit full of ash, small trash items and minor junk laying around. Walking though the park was fun every day, with a nice perimeter road and trail to the adjacent camp ground areas. There were some loud and boisterous families there, but Sunday was quiet. Reservations suggested, this is a busy area. - Paul Gavin

Stayed here for a week. Very close to Branson, and lots to do here. The sites were very close together. We stayed in 68 and 69 with my daughter's family. The sites were nice, level and OK long enough. On site 69, you could not park your truck in front of your trailer, had to park it sideways, but on site 68 you could. They had fire pits and wooden tables that were moveable at each site. There was a nice swimming area with a dock in the middle to jump off of. There was a courtesy dock that you could stop to unload and load things, the marina with boat rentals was just across the neck. The sites 301-316 were very, very close together with very little shade, more like a gravel parking lot. But the sites 40-62 were all pretty nice and had plenty of shade. There was a nice, but small play ground that the grandkids enjoyed, it was beside the bathrooms, which were very nice as well. The little loop was a nice evening walk and the dumpsters were just as you drove into the area across from site 301. - Fonda

The heavily treed campground has gravel interior roads and pads that are not very level either side to side or back to front. Electric and sewer utilities were good, water pressure was low and wi-fi dropped frequently but recovered quickly. AT&T voice and data signals were weak but functional. The park was largely unoccupied during our stay so was peaceful and quiet. The rate reflects a Passport America discount. - never settled

Owners were friendly and helpful and directed us to our site. This park has mostly seasonal camper units set up, they only have a few spots for weekenders so make a reservation. Even though the park is right by a road that enters a Corp of Engineers park, it was a quiet 4 night stay for us. Our Verizon phone worked fine. The sites are well spaced. We will stay there again. - Arlen

Passport America park. This is a very people friendly park, owners are great! We were one of two campers in the park. Right next door to the COE Table Rock campground. Mostly seasonal rigs in the park. Now the bad. Windy steep down to the CG. Entry to the CG is very steep. This is the first park in 7 years of full timing, that we damaged our rig, ruined a water jug, and bent a guard bar on our genny. Back ins and pull throughs are tricky and tight, but there is a lot of room between rigs. Satellite only if you get the right sites. Verizon cell worked, but not a good signal. We would not stay here again. - idahojoat

Park is within an over developed area with heavy traffic on narrow, hilly, and winding roads. The grounds are well maintained, but the loop roads are narrow with deep drop offs on either side. My site was difficult to back into. There are not enough bathroom/shower combinations for a park this size. The result is they are very busy. The out house at the beach area was very dirty and full of flies. - JC69

This park is located in a beautiful part of the Branson/ Table Rock Lake, and is very close to Silver Dollar City. The park attendants were very friendly and helpful. Our spot was spacious and easily accessible, but it was an exception, as many sites were shorter, and would not have been able to accommodate even a midsized unit.
We stayed for 9 days and the entire park lost water pressure for about 14 hours on one of the days. The dump station is located on a bit of a grade and therefore made it impossible to get our black tanks fully emptied, which was quite a hassle as there are no free dump stations near our home base. We had to drive 20 miles and pay $10 to dump when we got home and realized the black tanks were still 1/3 full.
I would give this park 8 to 9 stars if the sites were a bit larger (sized for today's larger RV's), and the dump station was laid out a little better. A really nice park, but could use a few minimal improvements to be even better. - User3601

Wonderful place to stay while visiting the Branson area. There is a really nice beach area and a marina with floating café. Hosts and gate attendants are very friendly and helpful. Our site wasn't as level as we like, so there was quite a big step getting in and out of the camper. However, the site was huge and private, so it was worth it. Dish, Verizon MiFi and AT&T phone service all worked well. - Bobbi1948

If a campground web site doesn't have pictures to market their campground, there's a good reason! There were mobile homes and sheds/buildings that looked like condemned status around behind the bathrooms, and the bathrooms weren't fit to wash my dog in! I am new to camping, but I know a BAD campground when I see it! And if you ever need a refund, goof luck! - User3270

Great location, reason we picked it, but the RV sites were an obstacle course, need 4WD to maneuver the steep roads. There are trees in the way to get in and out of sites. The bathrooms and showers are in need of cleaning, painting, and plumbing repair. We showered in our camper, did not want to put grandkids in those showers. Water pressure was very low. Did not use the pool. We walked to the dock and swam in lake, was fantastic swimming! The docks need some repair but very nice. Lounge chairs are in need of replacement. Pedal boats do not steer (2 out of 3) still had fun. Pedal boats need to be replaced. Boats looked OK, we did not rent one so do not know how they ran. We will look for different campground on next trip, would stay again if don't find one close with access to Tablerock. - joronallen

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!!! That is all I can say about this RV park. Beware when a website has no pictures of the RV park they are trying to promote! The brochure actually says it has an "extra clean, modern shower house." What a laugh!! After checking in, we pull into the RV park - if you'd call it that - there are many abandoned trailers here - DO NOT RENT an RV - they look like they've been there since 1960 - VERY rundown. Got hooked up - had a view of the sewer drain I think - rickety old decking - rickety old picnic table - rickety old grill. Doesn't look like the place owns a weed whacker. THE BATHROOMS WERE RIDICULOUS!!! Had not been cleaned in weeks or months - mold growing, bugs galore - toilets didn't flush - no toilet paper. Now I know I'm "camping" in a sense - but when they describe their shower house as extra clean and modern - I'd expect at least decent!! I wouldn't even use the restroom, let alone let my 2 year old use the shower. Just awful!! Then the registration desk tried to tell me - maybe they didn't clean today -ha ha - try didn't clean this past year!! Also couldn't get my deposit back - it was up to accounting's discretion!! Ended up staying across the street at the US Army Corps of Engineers park across the street for the same price - with beautiful sites and wonderful facilities!! - jaynut

This was our first trip to Missouri. This is actually a resort with a campground, meaning they have cabins, etc. It is located on Table Rock Lake, near Kimberling City and Branson. This was an extremely quiet place, mostly due to the fact we were only 1 of 2 campers. There is a swimming pool, (which was not open yet) and a hot tub, game room, laundry. Restrooms were clean, grounds kept up. It is about 10 miles from Branson, so you are well away from the bustle. Plus there is all of Table Rock Lake to enjoy. While the sites are not directly on the lake, the resort is, and there is a covered dock for your boat if you bring that. The owners also have guided fishing tours, although we did not do any fishing. This was strictly a "read and relax" vacation. We would stay again. - baraff

Beautiful site backed up to Table Rock Lake on three sides. Even had a large paved patio and adjoining table area. Great site but this park requires a 2 day stay and is very busy. - MissouriBird
Aug 2016 - $21.00
The park has beautiful lake views on three sides. Most sites have shade all have 50 amp electric and water. Asphalt roads are easy to drive on all sites have level pads. This campground is very busy and may require reservations in advance to guarantee a spot. I highly recommend this corp of engineers park. Also this park has a nice boat ramp, swimming area, and playground. - Razorgolf

We camped here in a 40' motorhome. I would have given this a 10 score if it would have had sewer hook-ups. Great site spacing between sites; great views of lake; the electric and water worked well. Asphalt interior roads were easy to navigate in big rig, however, there were a few spots that had low hanging tree branches in the roadway that needed to be trimmed. Pads were asphalt and laid out well. Our Verizon phone got 3 bars consistently and my Millenicom MiFi got 4G LTE regularly. Park is located approximately 16 miles from Branson and for $10.50/night with senior America the Beautiful pass this is a deal. Would definitely stay here again. - Tiffinatic

Standout swimmer Ryan Banger overcomes disability
BATH — Ryan Banger angles to the starting block and sets his position along with the other swimmers.
The starter gives his instruction, a gun is fired, and swimmers hit the pool. And believe it not, Ryan, who is legally deaf, can sometimes gain a bit of an advantage over his opponents, who can hear clearly.
Why? Because of his deafness, the Morse High School senior will, out of the corner of his eye, watch for the starting light ... not the gun.
And, as any mad scientist will tell you, the speed of light is waaaaaaayy faster than the speed of sound!
"When the guns goes off, I only see the flash and go. But the backstroke is tough with the way we start ... swimmers tuck their heads in for the starting position. The light is all the way behind me so I have to look to my side to watch the other swimmers start and then I go. I still do the backstroke, but it's not one of my favorites!"
Deaf since birth, and unable to hear sounds lower than a chain saw (and barely with that) for a dozen years of his life, Ryan is an inspiration to the swimming community and beyond.
A Woolwich resident, Ryan began swimming at age 8 and joined the Long Reach Swim Club of the Bath Area Family YMCA, although he also dabbled with basketball, soccer and baseball. "When I was young I really didn't know what I wanted to do. My mom thought maybe I should go out for the swim team and I'm like 'okay, maybe I'll give it a shot.' I was a little hesitant at first." He started going to practices and ultimately lowered his times. He didn't need much more convincing. "And, so here I am ... I think I've come a long way."
"Ryan does not like to toot his own horn, so as his mom I toot his horn for him, which he doesn't like very much ... he usually doesn't even mention it (deafness) to someone unless they specifically ask," said his mother Ann. " Maybe it's because he believes that the fact that he is deaf doesn't make him any different than anyone else. Everyone has something they have to deal with and this is his something and it's just a part of who he is."
With swimming he appreciates the team concept and individual strengths that have helped mold him into the standout student/athlete he is today.
"This is a different type of sport, that to me, you have to practice a lot. It's different like in baseball where you are a team, overall. Here, you are part of a team, but it's all about you, too. You have to work on yourself and you need motivation. What's the point of practicing if this really isn't something you want to do? What's the point of getting into the pool if you'd rather be out hanging with your friends? And, there's a lot of time management."
Ryan's parents discovered his disability when he was about 18 months old during a visit to the pediatrician. There were already concerns.
"He was fitted with bilateral hearing aids, but hearing aids aren't like glasses in that they don't solve the problem," said Ann. "He still heard a little with his hearing aids, he could only hear parts of speech and there were many sounds he could not hear at all. We decided against sign language, started speech therapy, and the long difficult journey began."
Good choice, said Ryan. "People who sign don't really know the actual words ... they don't learn how to speak."
The Bangers chose Cued Speech, which was developed in the 1960s at Gallaudet University. In layman's terms, Cued Speech makes sounds visual.
"Different speech sounds look the same on the lips making it very difficult to lip read accurately," offered Ann. "Cued Speech is a system of eight different hand shapes placed around the mouth as you speak. Speech sounds that look the same on the mouth look different on the hand so the lip reader, i.e. Ryan, knows the exact speech sound that is being spoken even though he can't hear it and he doesn't have to guess which sound it is.
" Ryan learned by repetition through many hours of speech therapy to associate the cues and mouth shapes with the ' sounds' even though he had never heard the sounds, he learned how to make the sounds that he could not hear himself say. Lots and lots of hard work, Ryan does not pick up language incidentally like the rest of us ... he learns by direct repetition.
"We were concerned if we chose sign language, English would not be Ryan's first language and he would have to rely on interpreters to communicate with others," continued his mother. "We thought Cued Speech would give him the lip/speech reading skills that would allow him to be independent and that he would not have to rely on an interpreter, he could get along all on his own.
"Also, studies show that most deaf/hard of hearing individuals read at a fourth- or fifth-grade level. We realized that in order for Ryan to be successful, a higher reading level was crucial and that making English his first language could be attained by using Cued Speech."
His deafness does not hold him back, that's for sure.
There are daily practices, and on Mondays and Wednesdays he hits the pool from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. with his LRSC teammates and then does youth swim lessons. Then, it's back in the pool to finish his workout. Grab some grub and hit the pool from 6:45 p.m. to 8 p.m. for Morse practices.
With a knowing smile, he says he feels fortunate to have a study hall at Morse every other day to help with his workload.
"I get all A's and B's with honors and AP classes. And, I've talked to a lot of kids who go to college and they all say it's time management ... you've got to learn to balance academics with things you do outside of school."
He has received numerous academic awards in Spanish and social studies.
"When Ryan began on the team in 2006 as an 11-year-old I was a little concerned about how to coach a deaf swimmer," said Long Reach head coach Jay Morissette. " I quickly learned that Ryan was uniquely different than every other swimmer just like everyone else. The fact that he couldn't hear was just something that he had going for him. Every swimmer on the team has their own thing that makes them stand apart and that seems to be his."
'Impressive young man'
"Beyond that, the kids all treat him like every other swimmer on the team," added Morissette. "He has never needed extra time, care or consideration. He has never used his hearing as an excuse. He has always found a way to get things done and has never needed to find an excuse. He is an impressive young man and everyone on the LRSC team values having him around. He has a great sense of humor and is always a positive influence on deck. The other swimmers see that Ryan does what he is supposed to without ever complaining and he shows everyone respect."
He's applied to the University of Maine, Roger Williams, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Drexel, Philadelphia University, Penn State and New Jersey of Technology with an eye to architecture ... a future Frank Lloyd Wright? Hey, he actually builds structures with Lego pieces.
His interests with deafness are also considerable.
You might like to know that Ryan was nominated by ex- Governor John Baldacci and confirmed by the state legislature to serve on the Maine Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing School Board, which includes the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf and their statewide Outreach Services. He was also appointed by Baldacci to serve on the Commission for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Late Deafened. He's a member of the National Honor Society, serves on SCLC, and lifeguards.
Involvement with state-wide deafness has also seen him testify in front of the state legislature in support of different bills.
Two of his special projects are helping recruit language interpreters and finding usable hearing aids, especially for the elderly.
"We're getting really low on interpreters because that is what deaf people mainly use. We need to recruit more and more!"
Morse coach Todd Marco has also seen the many sides of Ryan Banger.
"I have known Ryan for 10 years and still today I have a hard time believing that he is completely deaf," said Marco. "He is very good at reading lips and as long as I talk to him face to face he understands everything I say. He is no different than any of my swimmers.
"The big problem we have that at the start of a race he goes by the flash of the starter, so if someone takes a flash picture he will be diving in. This is why people are not allowed to take flash photography at the start of races. The big thing we notice is Ryan has never used this disability as an excuse.
"Ryan has a great personality, gets along with everyone and has a great sense of humor. We joke around a lot on the swim team and he fits right in. He has no team records, but is very close to entering the Morse top-10 in a few events."
Cochlear implant
When Ryan approached his teenage years, the Bangers went down another road with regards to his hearing.
"Ryan was mainstreamed right from the start in preschool and then school," said Ann. "At 12, we decided that it was time for a cochlear implant, which is like starting all over. Ryan had to train his brain to understand the signals it was getting. Even with his implant he still has a hearing loss and he lip-reads.
"Ryan's success is a direct result of determination and huge amounts of hard work on his part. He doesn't complain, he doesn't see that he has to work so much harder than everyone else just to have a conversation, it's just something he does."
You can just imagine when, following numerous Boston Children's Hospital visits and head surgery for the implant, what Ryan felt when he could hear finally the sounds of life, muted after all these years. It was overwhelming, to say the least.
"Oh my God! It was like going to a rock concert! I've been hearing very minimal for about 12 years, about 14 percent of what other people have. After the implant I had about 97 percent. But, I still read lips ... and because I'm on the swim team I have to continue to read lips."
Swimming's postseason for Morse and Long Reach are closing in fast.
"This is my senior year and I've been trying and trying to make ( YMCA) Nationals. I'm hoping I will."
Last year in the State Class A meet he finished fifth in the 200 individual medley (2:11) and this year owns the seventh-best time (2:08.68) in the state. And, he's not alone in his pool pursuits.
"The family has been supportive of my lack of 'deaf ' communication skills," allowed Morissette, who is working with Ryan on that national dream. "At one swim team banquet, the mom had me wear a special communication headset to make it possible for Ryan to understand me better. Well, they didn't fully explain how it worked to me so I thought it was an overhead speaker mike. Part way through the banquet I realized I wasn't hearing what I was saying over the loud speakers, so I figured it just wasn't working so I took it off. After the banquet they told me that it was working fine and that only Ryan could hear my voice amplified. He was also the only one in the room who could hear the coaching staff 's side remarks that weren't meant for everyone. To this day, he hasn't said a thing. We all had a good laugh about it!"
"I think as a result we, his family, and everyone he comes in contact with just take it in stride and don't think twice about it, but then again to be deaf and to do all that he does, accomplish as much as he has, is really fantastic," said Ann. "There are still many people who he is with all the time on the pool deck or somewhere else that will have a conversation with him and not realize that he can hear nothing they are saying cause he doesn't have his implant on and he doesn't tell them!"
Lots of support
The Bangers are grateful for Long Reach, Morse teammates, classmates and those who have been so supportive down through the years.
"Ryan has been so accepted and appreciated by this wonderful extended community we have here, it is such a gift," said Ann. "Everyone's life/outlook/ being changes dramatically when they have children, but it changes even more when you have one with a significant disability, a loss of something we all so take for granted — hearing. I always took it for granted until I had a child who couldn't hear. Hearing is such a part of speech and language and communicating, without it speech is many times not attainable.
"However, Ryan has shown that does not have to be the case. He was able to say sounds that he had never heard ... and understand what they mean. I will never forget the first time he heard a plane flying very low overhead and came running to me with fear in his eyes. Or, the first time I realized he was reciting the alphabet, something we thought he may never be able to do ... what a tremendous gift."
And, so we have Ryan preparing for the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference Championships on Feb. 11. For many Mid-coast high school swimmers this is their state meet.
"The thing I like is that it's not as high-pressured as states, but you've got all these high school teams with really good swimmers, and you have some good competition. I think it's one of the best meets."
He refuses to feel sorry for himself, but wants others with hearing disabilities to branch out and try new things.
"Because swimming has become such a big part of my life, I feel like I should've tried more things. I've gotten so involved in this I forgot about other things. I wish I had done more."
"I have fully enjoyed working with and having Ryan on the team," said Morissette. "For years now I don't even think about his lack of hearing and am usually only reminded of it when he starts a race as he consistently has one of the fastest starts on the team. I always look at my assistant and go 'oh yeah, he leaves on the flash and not the sound and that's why he's so fast off the block.'"
What would Ryan's message be to others in his situation?
"Don't hold back on anything ... especially if there's something you need. Like with me, a lot of times I have to wave at people and say 'Hey! Don't forget about me!'
"Also, always try new things and stay positive. You can't look at everything as negative ... it's going to drag you down."

Sorry there was no column last week, but the big U.S. East Coast storm left me without power for several days. Thanks to all of you who wrote telling me how much you missed "Langford on Soaps." It's appreciated!
Good Times, Bad Times
When I heard that GTBT was going to give Lucas a potential new love interest in the form of Bilal, a closeted gay Muslim, I hated the idea. And now that the story has begun to unfold, leading to the badly-played season finale in which Lucas and Bilal kissed, I hate it even more. To be blunt, this is a horrible, clichéd plot on a show that has long had problems with solid and consistent storytelling. I'd taken a hiatus from this show for most of the last season because it was unwatchable. And I'm already thinking of not returning when the new season begins because thus far, the budding relationship between Lucas and Bilal is ludicrous.
Now this whole thing started because Edwin, Lucas' dead boyfriend, appeared to Lucas in a dream and told him that Bilal, who is due to get married, was in fact gay and that he and Lucas would fall in love. I groaned when watching the plot device and I think the writers made a big mistake in removing any mystery in who Lucas' new love might be. And having Edwin declare this future for Lucas in a dream means like it or not, the story is going to play out, even if it's not working. And for me it's not.
I really didn't like Lucas' reaction to the whole thing, who went from not really caring for Bilal, to stalking him around town, insisting he was gay and questioning his sexuality. To me it's just forcing the issue instead of letting any relationship grow naturally and organically. Not only that, we have Lucas dragging another boyfriend out of the closet just like he did with Edwin last year. At least the show did mention Lucas has been through this before. It would have been a nice twist if Lucas resisted getting involved with another closet case rather than following his potential new squeeze all around town.
But the biggest problem is that Lucas and Bilal have no chemistry. Their scenes together are awkward and you just don't see the passion and the chemical heat that would draw these two together. And while the show would like us to think that final moment between them was intense and combustible, to me it was melodramatic and over the top and a hoary plot point I've seen more times than I care to count. This storyline was a bad idea from the moment I heard about it and seeing it play out on screen has not only changed my opinion, but reinforced it. The show could do itself and viewers a favor and drop this mess now and start the new season fresh.
Coronation Street
I was glad that the show broke up Marcus and Sean. These two are utterly incompatible and have always been. I never understood why they got back together in the first place given that they broke up because Sean was selfish and childish and that fact hadn't changed in their years apart. And given Sean's resistance to starting a family, the relationship was doomed from the start. You could just hear the clock ticking to its evitable end. But perhaps the show wanted to bring Marcus back and establish him before sending him off on his own storylines and a new path for his life without Sean. At least that's how it looks. And I couldn't be happier.
I have never, ever liked Sean and the character's appeal continues to escape me. He's an utterly unlikeable, unpalatable and to be honest, unneeded character. I still don't understand why he remains a fixture on this show, but maybe British fans see something I don't. I'm looking forward to Marcus' upcoming stories as he such an engaging and charming character, even if it's obvious where his storyline is going. He's no doubt headed for a relationship with his co-worker Aiden and I fully expect Maria to offer to be a surrogate for his child at some point in the near future.
I'm usually not a fan of baby stories for gay characters because besides coming out, it's the only story soaps want to write for gays. But I like Marcus enough to be willing to go along with it and see where it goes.
Days of Our Lives
Yawn! I am officially bored with this Will and EJ nonsense. When Daysfirst started this arc tying Will and EJ together I thought their scenes were fun to watch, mostly because of the potent sexual chemistry between the actors and the intriguing games they played with one another. But now it's just gotten tiresome. Will and EJ are playing the same scenes over and over and it's more obvious than ever that the show is playing up the sexual dynamics between the characters but there will never be any payoff. And that's the problem. This is never going to its logical conclusion.
I'm not saying that I want Will and EJ to become lovers and that I'm disappointed that they won't because I never expected them too. But the fact of the matter is that if Will were a woman (or if this show aired in the UK), there's no doubt in my mind that the two of them would become romantically involved. It's the natural next step that the story should take, especially given EJ's history with Will's mother Sami. Soaps thrive on such scandalous melodrama after all.
Unless they're going to kiss, don't bother, Days.
And I don't think that the show is bigoted or homophobic because they won't pair these two (though they are bigoted and homophobic for other reasons) because I get why they wouldn't. After all, EJ is a man in his thirties who has had several marriages and a number of children under his belt. For him to suddenly have a yen for his teenage former stepson is a wee bit hard to believe, even if it would make a hell of a story. Then again, this is a show that has had demonic possession as a main storyline so anything is possible.
My point is since they are clearly not going to go there with Will and EJ, then they should stop with the teasing scenes and suggestive dialogue. It's all so pointless and waste of air. It's like giving Will a gay relationship without the sex. But unfortunately, for Days, maybe that's the point.
You know what else I'm hating? The show's continued misuse of Sonny. I have never liked that the show has only used Sonny to advise Will on his coming out drama once or twice a month and I really don't like that Sonny is now sitting around pining over Will and being his 'voice of reason' over his plotting with and against EJ. I dreaded that the show would do this with Sonny and they have. It's such a waste of a compelling and engaging character played by an appealing actor. But then 'waste' is how I would describe most of this gay storyline.
Before I get into this week's shows, I want to discuss what happened last week on Hollyoaks regarding Lynsey's murder. Soaps rarely every surprise me. I've watched them for so long and they tend to be so predictable that there's little that happens that I don't expect. But I didn't see Lynsey's death coming because it was so sudden. One moment she was there and the next she was gone. It was swift and out of nowhere, yet her death not only made perfect sense, it has galvanized this show in a way that has been missing for so long.
Because of Lynsey's death, various disparate storylines and plots are finally coming together under one intriguing umbrella arc. The acting has been very, very good. Emmett Scanlan is great as Brendan like always, but I've really been impressed by Bronagh Waugh's performance as Cheryl. Some of her scenes have just broken my heart. I'm also loving Jennifer Metcalfe as the scheming Mercedes. I don't think she killed Lysney because as crazy as Mercedes is, I don't think she's a killer, but watching her benefit from Lynsey's murder by worming her way back into Riley's life has been delicious to watch.
PJ Brennan is good as Doug, but he reminds me how much Doug has had to cry over the past few months in nearly every scene he's been in whether he's happy, sad or angry. Most of all though, having Jeff Rawle back as Silas has been wonderful. I'd forgotten how creepy and sinister he was in this role. Rawle manages to give this character the right notes and touches, showing us now insane Silas is, but not being over the top or hammy.
However, not all the acting is impressive. Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove is sadly one-note as Texas. She tries hard, but she's simply not up to the task of playing against all these stronger actors in a central role in this storyline. The actress has the same expression and gives the same emotion no matter what the scene and is really the weak link in the storyline.
As for one of the other stories, I'm so glad to see George again, it's been far too long. I'm not too sure about his storyline, but let's hope that it's better than what it looks like it might be.
Syed worries his uncle won't accept that he's gay or involved with another man…
EastEnders – Ben is worried when he finds out that Andrew had been cleared for Heather's murder, which means the police will be continuing their investigation. He wonders how long it'll be before they come looking in his direction. Perhaps not long. Jay is stunned when he finds out Ben still has the picture frame he used to kill Heather with, even though he'd promised to get rid of it. Jay demands to know why Ben still has it and he doesn't buy Ben's story. Jay declares he's had enough… he's going to turn Ben in for murder.
Meanwhile, Christian and Syed are surprised when Masood's brother A.J. turns up in town. They all get along swimmingly and go out for a night on the town together. But Syed is worried how A.J. will react to his being gay and his relationship with Christian and downplays things. It isn't long though before A.J. discovers the truth. To Syed's relief, A.J. completely accepts he and Christian and a bond grows between uncle and nephew.
Marcus makes his new roomie Kirk dinner to improve their rocky relationship, but will it work?
Coronation Street – Marcus wonders if he should have decided to stay in town and it's not because of his issues with Sean. Maria's brother Kirk returns from vacation and it quickly becomes apparent that the house is very crowded for Marcus, Maria, Kirk and Liam. It doesn't help that Kirk isn't exactly going out of his way to make Marcus feel welcome. Maria, still nursing a serious crush on her gay BFF, doesn't want Marcus to go and tries to help Kirk and Marcus get along. Marcus gets the idea to make Kirk his favorite dinner and it looks like that might just do the trick. But something else might come along to ruin things.
Who will be Silas' next victim?
Hollyoaks – Silas continues his reign of terror on the village, taunting everyone with the notion that another girl is going to soon turn up dead. Determined to find out if Silas is working with someone, Texas pays Silas a visit and his horrified to discover that he has been working with Will, Dodger's brother. When Will is arrested for being an accomplice to Silas's crimes, Texas thinks the case has been solved. But they may have been led down the wrong path.
Meanwhile, Joel is enjoying running the club with Brendan out of town attending Lynsey's funeral, but he's not happy that Walker is still lurking about and getting in his way. And Joel's rule of the roost is short lived when Brendan returns to town, determined to find out if his enemy Sampson went after Lynsey to get revenge against him. And it isn't long before Sampson strikes. But can Brendan stop him?
In London, George is enjoying his internship at a major fashion magazine. Ryan, one of the other interns, shows a romantic interest in George, but George has a hard time believing it… until Ryan kisses him. Romance quickly blossoms between the two boys and they enjoy an exciting day in London. But with George only in town for a week, things soon come to an end between the two of them and they part with the promise to keep in touch. But George is reluctant to pursue something that he feels has no future.
Is Dan ready to let Simon go?
Holby City – Dan's decision to come out of the closet and be honest about himself and his love for Simon seems to have changed his life. Not only is he happier than he's ever been, he seems more confident and sure of himself and has even become a better doctor. But Dan's happiness doesn't last for long when Simon delivers the news that he's been offered a dream job in Leeds and is moving away. Dan is devastated and doesn't want Simon to go. In fact, Dan begs Simon to turn down the job so they won't be parted for the second time in their lives. But when Simon refuses to turn down the job, Dan has to decide just how much this relationship means to him.
Robbie faces his attackers in court…
River City – The tragic event that brought Will and Robbie together rears its head when the trial for the men that attacked Robbie finally comes to pass. Robbie is very nervous about his day in court and he receives little support from Will, who has to keep his distance given that he was the investigator on the case and their relationship could damage the chances of a conviction. Growing more and more anxious, Robbie takes out his frustration on Will, who responds by shoving Robbie into a door.
Will immediately apologizes and says he's sorry. Robbie accepts his lover's apology, but he's worried about Will's temper. Things get worse when the court case goes awry and both Robbie and Hayley are torn apart on the stand by the defense team. Chances for a conviction quickly grow bleak and Robbie braces himself for the possibility that his attackers could wind up going free after what they did to him.
Days of Our Lives – Will's descent into evil continues and his parents are becoming worried about his quest for money and power. Lucas wants Will to get away from EJ, who is looking more and more guilty in Stefano's murder, but Will defends his boss, insisting that EJ is no killer. Lucas is certain Will is hiding something, but Will isn't talking, wanting to keep his hold over EJ's head.
What's ahead for Hollyoaks' George?
While Hollyoaks gays Brendan Brady and Ste Hay might get most of the story attention, they aren't the only gays in town. Fans might recall the story of George Smith, a gay college student, who had a big story earlier this year where it was revealed he was homeless and estranged from his family. While things looked dark for George as he was nearly sold into sexual slavery, he's gotten his life back together. But a few complications are about to come George's way in the form of his first romance with another guy.
This week saw George getting a chance to intern at a fashion magazine in London where he'll meet Ryan, one of the employees there. It's quickly clear that Ryan is attracted to George, but it takes George awhile to catch on. But when he does, George and Ryan have a whirlwind romance. Steven Roberts, who plays George, is excited about the show finally giving George his first romantic relationship.
George is about to have his first gay romance with co-worker Ryan…
"Yeah, I think it's nice that it's being explored now, especially because George has had such a tough year. But I think because of his past, he does find it difficult to trust people. " Roberts told Digital Spy . "He knows who his friends are in the Hollyoaks village, he knows that he's got his family back too, but he's cautious of new people who come into his life."
"Ryan is a lot more confident [than George] – he's the type of guy who will go up to a bar and order a drink, whereas George would be worried about getting caught and not having an ID!" Roberts said of his love interest. "Ryan is more outgoing, but I think that'll be good for George – he needs someone like that around him to encourage him to build his confidence. I wouldn't say they're chalk and cheese, but they are different."
Do George and Ryan have a future?
George and Ryan say goodbye at the end of this week and it looks like the romance is over. But George will soon see Ryan again. Next week, George and his pals go on vacation, where Ryan and George are reunited. But George is nervous about seeing his London flame again.
"[Ryan's return is] a complete surprise to George, and I think that's when he suddenly sees his two worlds colliding." Roberts said. "He gets on really well with his friends, but he feels a bit awkward about introducing Ryan to them – he's not really sure how to deal with Ryan in front of his friends."
But the big question is, do Ryan and George have a future?
"At the moment, we're not sure. It's blossoming and there is an attraction between them." Roberts said. "It's getting there, but I don't know what the future holds for them yet!"
Will Hollyoaks' Keiron Richardson nab the Best Actor award?
The nominations for the Inside SoapAwards are in and the gays of Hollyoaks managed to get a number of nods. Emmett Scanlan and Kieron Richardson, who play on again off again lovers Brendan and Ste were both nominated for Best Actor. And Scanlan was nominated for Funniest Male. Scanlan got a third nod as Best Bad Boy and Neil Newbon, who recently joined the cast as Walker, Brendan's possibly gay henchman also received a nomination in that category. And Steven Roberts, who plays gay college student George Smith, was nominated for Best Newcomer.
Nighttime dramas Holby City and Waterloo Roadwere included in the noms for Best Drama and Neighbours received a notice as Best Daytime Drama. Best Soap nods went to Emmerdale, Coronation Street, EastEnders and Hollyoaks. Fans can vote for their favorites at the Inside Soap website.
Love… and tragedy is ahead for Chris on Neighbours.
For regular viewers of Australian soap Neighbours, not much has happened for gay mechanic Chris Pappas, played by James Mason, since breaking up with his boyfriend Aiden, a few months back. Chris has spent most of his time playing supportive friend to his straight pals problems and fans are starting to wonder if Chris will ever have a story all his own again. According to Richard Jasek, head writer for the soap, there's much in store for Chris, including some family drama and the return of his former boyfriend.
"We love Chris too and his family is important to him, so we'll continue to see them from time to time. He will face a terrible crisis later this year and his family will be there for him. " Jasek revealed to Digital Spy. "As for Chris and Aidan, they broke up because Chris needed to find his strength and did so too late. But that doesn't mean it's all over for these two…"
And while Bob Morely, who plays Aiden returned to filming on the show several weeks ago, there's no word on when he'll be returning to our screens.
A man from Sonny's past returns to Days, but it's not a good thing…
Finally this week, Freddie Smith, who plays Sonny Kiriakis on Days hasn't received a lot of airtime or story since his debut last year, but that's going to change soon according to the actor. Sonny is reportedly going to have a huge storyline late summer to early fall. And while not much has leaked about what the story will be about, there's buzz that it will involve an old foe of Sonny's.
Fans might recall the character of Tad, known as 'T', who was a friend of Will's. Tad, played Brendan Coughlin, hated the fact that Sonny was gay and soon fell out with Will and his pals because of his homophobic views. Well, according to this Days website, Tad is returning to the show in August and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to guess Days has a homophobia/gay bashing arc in mind. They haven't missed a cliché yet with this gay storyline. Clearly they won't miss this one either.
And to think there was a time I actually looked forward to this storyline.
That's a wrap for this edition of Langford on Soaps. See you next time!

When Jake Peavy went down on July 6th, 2010 with a season-ending shoulder injury, it didn't doom the White Sox playoff chances, it simply reduced their margin for error.
Similarly, John Danks being diagnosed with a Grade 1 subscapularis tear doesn't at all draw the curtains on the scuffling, yet division-leading 2012 White Sox, but it makes the already delicate dance Robin Ventura is trying to pull off with his pitching staff significantly harder.
The comparison might seem odd, since Peavy was a house of fire at the time he went down for a Sox team so hot they powered into 1st place at the All-Star break even in his absence. Looking back, it's unclear how Jake was doing it, rapidly improving his performance while his shoulder was fraying and deteriorating.
For this team, at this time, Danks does not exist as a productive starter, but as a concept for relief. His eventual return would allow for Humber, Floyd, and Quintana to battle in a meritocracy for their spots.
Part of the belief that Danks would step in and provide aid--other than that his contract situation guarantees him a slot--was the hope that his early-season struggles could be attributed to his shoulder problems. The good news is that it's more likely that they can be, the bad news is why.
To roughly summarize Mark Primiano's excellent summary of the injury, Danks is suffering from a fraying of primary muscle forming the rotator cuff. While the lack of a complete tear means he's a good bet to avoid surgery, shoulder injuries for pitchers are not known for their triviality, and pinning down the recovery time at this moment is a fruitless pursuit.
The very eager-to-return Danks has nothing to offer:
"I don't know any schedule at this point or anything. It's frustrating because it feels good one day and then it feels like crap the next day."
Until there's more, no good refutation of Mark's grim assessment can be made:
"The bad news is that the way you likely avoid surgery with this injury is to shut him down for a long time. Like, maybe the rest of the season."
Danks need to rest and rest, and rest some more, and since his first comeback trial involved missing three weeks and experiencing more inflammation and soreness after a rehab start, estimations for how long it will be until his next one start there and extend farther.
In the mean time, the problems of Gavin Floyd and Philip Humber (one quality start between them in the last month) become a great deal more pressing, and Jose Quintana's continued success is a great deal more vital. Considering that Mark Gonzales' article on the topic listed Simon Castro as the foremost contingency plan--the 24 year-old return from the Carlos Quentin deal who's doing pretty much what Quintana was doing in AA before he got called up--the days of fantasizing about trading from starter depth to shore up the lineup seem distant.
If Danks, Quintana, Floyd, and Humber will all coin flips to be useful rotation members from here on out, the Sox lost the one throw they could afford to go against them. Since they're something more complicated than coin flips, and a healthy Danks was probably the best bet, the damage is a fair bit worse.
The lights certainly didn't go out on the Sox playoff hopes, but everyone will need to work harder to keep them on.

The Botanical Building in Balboa Park is one of the city's most photographed icons.
But look closely and you'll see it's falling apart. Some of the wood framing on its domed roof is popping off and splitting. The water feature on the west side of the building's been out of commission for years. Rust lurks behind elaborate plant displays.
In late 2013, the Balboa Park Conservancy announced plans to restore and upgrade the facility. The effort was billed as the fledgling group's foundational project – something that would prove its mettle as the park's chief fundraiser.
The Conservancy envisioned a nearly $3 million, donor-backed restoration would be finished before the 2015 Centennial Celebration. That didn't happen. Now, more than two years in, the group reports it's raised just $457,000. The rust and cracks continue to fester – and the group's still working to build its track record.

Uber Enlists Volvo, Otto to Develop Autonomous Cars, Trucks
Mercedes Benz has been experimenting with such trucks for years, and Freightliner, a division of Daimler, which also owns Mercedes Benz, has already begun testing a licensed autonomous truck on highways in the United States. The real tests of autonomous cars in the United States, however, will begin in Pittsburgh. Initially the cars will be self-driving but they will be overseen by an engineer in the driver's seat and a researcher will come along to take notes on vehicle performance. Uber customers will be able to summon a self-driving car using the same Uber app that they use now, but when their ride arrives, they may find that their usual Uber driver and car have been replaced by an autonomous car and researchers. A benefit to the rider, beyond the excitement, may be that the ride is free, according to some sources. At this point, Uber isn't saying how long the Pittsburgh pilot program will continue, nor are they saying whether it will expand to other cities. However, the rapid development of self-driving trucks will likely continue in that area, and those advances will feed into Uber's automotive efforts as well.This is why Tesla was able to quietly upgrade its cars to nearly autonomous status and why some other car makers, such as Acura and Toyota, are quietly adding self-driving features. But there are some strong financial incentives to achieve real autonomy. In trucking, it's hard to find reliable drivers and harder to keep them, and there are significant limitations to their efficiency because drivers need things like sleep and federally mandated rest periods. Urban transportation has challenges of its own, which means Uber can both save money and be more efficient by replacing some drivers with robots. The advantages to non-commercial drivers are that they will gain access to those technologies and will realize the benefits much sooner than if self-driving features remained playthings for luxury car drives. Eventually, autonomous vehicles will become the standard for certain types of driving in certain locations, perhaps on major highways or in urban cores where only autonomous vehicles might be allowed. Meanwhile, the shift to autonomy is already happening, and while I've learned my lesson about predicting the pace of progress, we can assume that it won't be long now.
What appears to be happening is that the economics of business uses of autonomous vehicles are now driving the development efforts. When self-driving cars first started making their appearance, they were seen as luxury items in expensive cars and they appeared one feature at a time.
