I discovered a surprising new supply of penguin ornaments last year at Walgreen's. I stopped in for other Christmas decorations and left with a bag full of penguins. I even found more when I went back a couple of weeks later. Cheap too. I've already posted a couple of the Walgreen's ornaments January 21st and February 25th. My only regret is that I didn't buy the baseball cap that looked like a snowman's head on my first visit. When I went back, they were all gone.

Before I go and sell this on ebay, figure I'll test the waters here.
I bought a Monster FM transmitter for all iPods a couple months ago, but then I bought a new car and got ipod integration. SO!! Who wants a slightly used (MAYBE twice) Monster FM Transmitter. Nothing is wrong with it, it's just been sitting in my trunk. I bought it at Target for $80. I'd settle for $50.
PLEEEEAAASEEE buy it. I dont want to ship it off to anyone.

Once more via the Internet and many thanks to ams_guy, the original ripper, here's the latest and greatest from Cum Whore's line and director Vlado Iresch. It's "Bareback Jizz Fizz" starring Thomas Dyk, Dominik Trojan, Lucky Taylor, and a bevy of Euro beauties doing the hot and nasty totally bareback. Though not my rip, the quality is excellent, you'll have to take my word for it! :) This is a 16:9 widescreen video so if you have a widescreen monitor, so much the better. Enjoy! :)
Video: Bareback Jizz Fizz
Codec: XviD
Resolution: 720x416 (full DVD resolution)
Director: Vlado Iresch
Year: 2008
Length: 90 minutes
Cast: Clay Osborn, Damian Dickey, Dominik Trojan, James Byron, John Paul, Lucky Taylor, Micky Jonsen, Thomas Dyk, Zack Hood
Hard ass slamming and cum guzzling young twinks in every scene to make your cock rock solid within seconds and pumping the spunk out many times over as studs like James Byron and Thomas Dyk thrust their stiff dicks into tight holes totally raw. Giving the ultimate fuck session of their young lives, the horny bottom boys are splattered with spunk as they lap up every drop. When buff studs Zack and James join the twinky Lucky during a workout, Lucky's in for one hell of a good time. Flexing their muscles and working their pecs, these men build up an aggressive horniness which needs satisfying. Ramming the cute dark haired twinks face onto their throbbing dicks, they stuff his mouth full of cock, fucking his face hard, forcing it down his throat! Giving his ass a proper tongue worship, they prep him for the awesome barebacking his going to be given. Spit roasted on the workbench, Zack takes first go on his tight hole as James continues to get his dick serviced. Having both hunks in him at the same time, this young lad certainly lives up to his name. Creeping up on his sleeping friend, John Paul sees his hard cock and decides to join in the fun his mate must be having! Slowly waking him with kisses down his back, the floppy haired bottom boy turns over and loves the sight of John's big dick in his face! Crying out for a fucking, he begs John to slide his meaty shaft into his delicious ass as he pushes back and forth, getting as much inside as possible, working John's cock with his tight hole as both young fuckers build up to an explosive spunking session which leaves both boys faces covered in cum. Super hung Dominik plows into a fellow dark haired twink in positions perfectly designed to get us the best possible view, almost able to reach out and join in the horny bareback fuck he's giving to him. Watch his super thick dick stretch open the tight young hole as his smooth body flexes with each thrust forward. Jerking furiously as he enjoys being twisted and turned into every position possible, he loves Dominik slamming that cock deeper and deeper, feeling his cock tighten and throb as he can feel the cum getting ready to shoot out of his shaft, splattering him from head to toe! When Damian fantasizes about getting it on with the stunning guy from the ads, we're treated to a front row view of these two young boys showing off their huge dicks and well defined smooth bodies. Devouring each others cocks in a 69 position to make you cream your pants, Damian is bent double and gets Thomas teasing his sweet hole with this thick shaft, slamming it all the way in and out again. Giving Damian the full treatment, Thomas works up a sweat with the deep grinding and hard thrusts that we can see it dripping down his back and over that famous bubble butt of his."

Brazilian football star Neymar has been ordered to stand trial in Spain over alleged fraud and corruption.
The 25-year-old striker - whose full name is Neymar da Silva Santos Junior - has been accused of helping to conceal the true transfer fee of his move from Santos to Barcelona in June 2013.
The transfer figure originally published by Barcelona was €57.1m (£48.4m) with €40m euros (£33.9m) of that given to his family.
But Spanish authorities believe the real transfer fee was at least €83m euros (£70.3m).
Neymar's parents, Nadine and Neymar Santos Senior will also stand trial, along with Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu, his predecessor Sandro Rosell, and the two clubs involved in the deal.
The case has been raised by Brazilian investment company DIS - who owned 40% of Neymar's sporting rights at the time of his transfer - and who say they have been cheated out of their rightful cut of his fee.
If found guilty, Neymar could face a jail sentence and large fine.
The Brazilian forward has scored 99 goals in 176 appearances since joining Barcelona.
He has also won two La Liga titles since arriving at Barca and was part of the team that claimed the treble in 2014/15.
However, despite Neymar signing a new five-year deal with Barcelona, Florentino Perez - president of the Catalan club's arch rivals Real Madrid - recently said he was considering leaving for the Premier League.
A target for both Real Madrid and Manchester United, Neymar has a £173m buyout clause in his current contract.

Even if you have the best lawyer on Earth, you are the most important person involved in your case. People ask me all the time what they can do to protect themselves from bad debt collectors, mortgage lender abuse, harassing telephone calls, credit card lawsuits, and being ripped off by their home or auto lenders. While I love helping people deal with their legal problems, the fact is that there is a lot you can do to protect yourself without a lawyer.
Have you been sued? You need to know How to Answer a Complaint.
If you don't answer the Complaint, you lose. It is just like you went to court and the judge and jury found you liable for everything the creditor or collector was asking for, even if you don't owe the money. Once a court finds that you owe the money, you cannot undo the judgment, even if you genuinely don't owe a dime. So if you've been served with a lawsuit, call a lawyer or answer on your own.
Are you facing foreclosure? Know What to Expect.
In Alabama, foreclosures can happen fairly quickly. Fortunately, new federal regulations forbid foreclosures before you're 120 days delinquent, and if you sent them a written loan modification application at least 37 days before the foreclosure date, they cannot foreclose until they've evaluated your application and given you an answer. Once they foreclose, they still can't forcibly kick you out until they've sued you for ejectment.
Are crazy charges popping up on your mortgage statement? Get a complete explanation by sending them a Qualified Written Request.
A QWR is a written letter sent to your mortgage servicer (not necessarily the originator or owner of your note), asserting some sort of mistake and demanding correction. Basically, if you think they're screwing up your mortgage loan and you write a letter telling them what you think they're doing wrong (i.e. charging you for insurance when you already paid for your own insurance; not honoring a loan modification; failing to credit you for payments made on time, etc.), they have 30 days to fix it or explain to you why they're doing it right. If they don't respond or fix the problem, you can sue them.
Is some company you have never heard of asking you for money? Send them an FDCPA Validation Request.
I recommend that everyone sends a validation request to every collector you hear from. First, it gives you useful information on the debt, and possibly will clue you or your attorney in on defenses if they decide to sue you later. Second, they can't collect from you until they've provided some sort of evidence of the debt. And most importantly, he validation request is a crucial way to preserve your rights, particularly if you dispute the debt. It requires the collector to amend your credit report to note that the account is disputed. If you have other accounts with that collector, they cannot apply your payments to a disputed account.
Is false information appearing on your credit report? Send a Billing Error Dispute Letter to the alleged creditor and file a Written Credit Report Dispute with the Credit Bureaus.
False credit report information is one of the biggest problems that Alabama consumers face today. It costs the citizens of this state millions in lost credit opportunity, higher interest rates, and harms business as well. If something is wrong with your credit, it is important to take the right steps to fix the problem. If it starts with a credit card overcharge or identity theft, you need to write a dispute to your credit card company. The Fair Credit Billing Act says that if you dispute a charge and write a dispute letter within 60 days of seeing it on your statement, the credit card company cannot hold you liable for the charge without first investigating it and reasonably determining that you personally made the purchases.
You also must write a letter to the credit reporting agency who is putting out the report. Your dispute letter should be clear and concise and should state exactly what is wrong and what must be done to fix it. They have 30 days to respond. If they don't fix it, you sue them.
Clicking the links in blue will lead you to example documents you can use to suit your own needs. More info can be found at www.consumerfinance.gov. Or you can call me at 251.272.9148.
Finally, it is important to know the difference between being proactive and trying to be your own lawyer. If you've tried to handle these problems on your own and still have not gotten them to fix the problem, it may be time to get an attorney involved and put some real heat on those who are violating your rights. I offer a free consultation and handle most of these cases on a contingency fee basis – meaning that I don't charge you anything unless we win some money.
Peace be with you.

You Are What You Eat11 June 2010 at 11:08 am | Posted in ENGLISH CLUB, Gen 5, Uncategorized | 1 Comment
Tags: Acara, English Corner
We are as a human need to consume a good nutritious for our life. Nobody can live without eating, but of course, we do not live for eating, do we?
Everyday we eat more and more without getting bored. Who will get bored with eating? Sure, no body. Apart from a trouble, frustrated, disease, or sickness, that is another topic for another discussion. We know that people who overeat have problems which they maybe concealing, over eating cause one to be unhappy and bad diet cause bad mood.
Eat and eat is one of our activity for getting more energy. So what kind of food is needed? Talking about taste and delicious both of these aspects are necessary when it comes to eating. Unfortunately many people ignored and forgot the real important of a good healthy eating. That is an important question one must ask before we eat with the hand. Consequently, some people look so pale-faced, sick and not healthy which may be the cause of a bad eating.
And on the other hand we know the system of consuming healthy food is also important and part of one's life making a good habit neatly and methodically arrange are important for a healthy diet. For example starting with good healthy breakfast and ending with a healthy light dinner which will be easy to digest. Why? Enjoy having breakfast with juice or fruit which will be a great start to the day for our stomach and then, after 2 hours one can begin to consume a heavy food however if one start with a heavy food first most likely that food will be difficult to digest. Besides having heavy food for dinner before bed time can annoy our quality of sleeping and also the food will be difficult to digest. Believe it!
What is a good way? It is advice able for us to stop eating 4 hours before sleeping. If we feel so hungry, we may eat a fruit or a light snack. And in addition, plenty of drink before sleeping will disturb us by desiring to go to toilet at night. So it is good idea for us to not consume a large amount of drink for at least 2 to 4 hours before sleeping as otherwise it may cause our kidneys to over work and therefore the kidneys require rest so that the kidneys can process what has been consume.
Thus, good way for consumptions of food is important because it will influence all of things in our life such as; our mood, energy, desire to eat, ability to think correctly, and our healthy in generally. So you are what you eat…!!

WASHINGTON — Nothing makes any sense. Just, just look at this.
The Wizards (41-24) have the third-best chances to win the NBA title — this season! — per FiveThirtyEight. Immediately ahead of them, at 7 percent, are the San Antonio Spurs (27 percent) and Golden State Warriors (55 percent). That means the reigning champion Cleveland Cavaliers are below them, but they aren't even directly below them. The Boston Celtics (6 percent) and Houston Rockets (6 percent) are ahead of the Cavaliers, who are given just a 4 percent chance to win the title.
Washington is also given a 15 percent to earn the top seed in the Eastern Conference, well below both the Cavs (42 percent) and Celtics (43%).
But FiveThirtyEight isn't the only publication that likes the Wizards over the Cavs right now. ESPN puts the Wizards at third in its power rankings, above — get this — the Cavaliers (No. 4) and the Warriors (No. 5). Only the Spurs (No. 1) and the Rockets (No. 2) are above them.
NBA.com has Washington at No. 4 in its newest power rankings, above Cleveland (No. 6) and below the Spurs, Warriors and Rockets, respectively.
SI and USA TODAY each have the Wizards at No. 5, with the Spurs, Cavaliers, Warriors and Rockets ahead of them in various orders.
As 2017 has rolled along, the Wizards have become mainstays among the NBA's top seven teams or so. At first it seemed like a fluke; with the team rolling, surely a momentum-halting skid was in store. But so far, that skid hasn't yet matriculated, and Washington is one of the best, and most consistent, teams in the NBA right now.
Who saw this coming in November?

'Cock'd Gunns' picked up by Hulu
Thunderbird unveils plans to shoot 'Mr. Young' sitcomTORONTO -- The Canadian rockumentary "Cock'd Gunns" from Tricon Films & Television has been picked up by the U.S. online video service Hulu.
The distribution deal will see Tricon and Hulu split the ad earnings 50-50 on a Canuck series originally produced for the IFC cable channel in Canada, and which later aired on the Showcase drama channel.
"Cock'd Gunns," created by skit comedy writers Brooks Gray, Leo Scherman, Morgan Waters and Andy King, portrays a fictional rock band pursuing elusive stardom.
Also Tuesday, indie producer Thunderbird Films unveiled plans to shoot the multicamera sitcom "Mr. Young" in Vancouver for the YTV cable channel.
Created by Dan Signer ("The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"), the comedy will start shooting in front of a live audience in October, with a spring 2011 debut on YTV.
Howard Nemetz will show-run "Mr. Young," with Adam Weissman directing.
There has been no word on casting.
Nelvana Enterprises will distribute "Mr. Young" internationally, while it shares the U.S. distribution rights with Thunderbird.

Twill Honeybee Blazer (size 2)
I love bees - so cute! I think this color/cutesy factor is a bit hard to work at my *ahem* age but it's very sweet. I do love Daughters of the Liberation - their clothes are well made and well tailored. Size 2 is a little snug but I like the trim silhouette.
Orchard House Cardigan (size S) in coral
This cardigan is very 50's sexy. Maybe too much so. I went back to the store and tried on a M and L and they were all passable. Probably liked the M the best which is 2 sizes up from my normal. Almost bought this to go with my Peppering Skirt but decided I wanted something a little less form-fitting on top.
Upstaged Tee (size S)
Love the idea of this tee. The draping in the back makes it different. The fit is a little off for me - a bit too boxy and WAY too short. I noticed this with a lot of Anthro's spring tops - lots of cropped things. Not a good look on me. Or many people. Over the age of about 22.
Forget the name of this... size S
I wanted to look at this as another potential to go with the Peppering Skirt. It was a little too much pattern mixing for me but as a shirt on it's own it's very cute. It's not super thick but not see-thru thin either. The boat neck is cute.
Yet another top I forget the name of ... size 2
Not my style but very cute. The size 2 didn't quite lay right.
Conjuror Maxi Skirt (size 4)
The way the markdown was written I thought it was $49.95 and was planning to bring it home! Unfortunately it was not. Both the size 2 and size 4 fit well. The size 4 sat below my waist while the size 2 sat more at my waist. Both are so lovely and the silk is delicious. The wide waistband is incredibly flattering. Will stalk for 2nd cut.
Here's that blouse again in size 4. Not it's falling correctly.
Ostsee Coat by Leifsdottir (size 4)
On sale for $99. Velvet-lined pockets, fantastic wool, silk lining, leather buckles. GORGEOUS. Had to have even though I sort of feel like Trinity from the Matrix. Or whatever female heroine is kick*ss but kind of dark these days (am dating myself already by mentioning The Matrix?)

Only in his early thirties Anke has been several years of chronic atrophic gastritis history, she has been regular medication and regular inspection. Last month, she gastroscopy report written on "mild dysplasia. Miss He was terrified, she heard the "atypical hyperplasia" is precancerous lesions, since that is tantamount to announcing the "death penalty", the mood is extremely tense, in tears all day …
20% of adults suffering from chronic atrophic gastritis
Inherent glands of chronic atrophic gastritis is gastric mucosal atrophy is characterized by lesions, often accompanied by intestinal metaplasia and inflammatory response. Clinical symptoms as abdominal discomfort or pain, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, belching, loose stools, etc.. This disease in adults, accounting for more than 20%.
Chinese medicine believes that this disease is often due to improper diet, hunger and satiety impermanence, or too cold food, spicy food, excessive smoking and drinking, and damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in the loss and lower stomach, air-block, or love the quality of disorders, anger catharsis, tribulations Fan Wei, or liver-fire, Huozhuo stomach yin caused.
Stomach is the organ and the outside world, and constant friction food three meals a day and ingestion of bacteria, physical and chemical factors to stimulate gastric mucosal inflammation, human life is a very common thing, if you check the entire stomach mucosa, 40-year-old was found after intestinal metaplasia is not uncommon.
Cancer risk of chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, superficial gastritis, do not think it Carcinogenesis, even asymptomatic superficial gastritis can not ignore. The majority of our scholars believe that the high incidence of chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia and cancerous parallel.
Precancerous lesions are not cancer
The so-called precancerous lesions, refers only to the high likelihood of gastric cancer, not to say that a certain cancer in the future. In addition, cancer is a long process, generally after more than 10 years, not to say as they please. Admittedly, some intestinal metaplasia and cancer have some relationship, but to specific analysis of each patient, and should not be generalized, because the degree of severity of intestinal metaplasia range size of the points, intestinal metaplasia to cancer, after all, very few.
Generally, moderate or severe dysplasia are precancerous lesion before, some scholars advocate Jiyi considered precancerous disease, should be surgical resection, but I believe that the Chinese medicine treatment of atypical hyperplasia can put it into reverse and has achieved satisfactory results; About the atypical hyperplasia whether reversible opinions is very inconsistent According to reports, even moderate dysplasia were followed up for 3 years, 50% are reversible, mild and moderate more Budai words.
We note that the two cases biopsy is not associated with significant inflammation of intestinal metaplasia, it said there had been "fighting" with H. pylori in the gastric mucosa, in the stationary state, the common in the elderly, such intestinal metaplasia reversal is unlikely. Regular endoscopy patients were followed up on it. Another intestinal metaplasia with inflammation and activity exist, the gastric mucosa is still in the "battle" state. Such patients must not only be an annual gastroscopy follow-up, the treatment can not be stopped.

Child Sexual Exploitation, or CSE as it is abbreviated, is one of the most pressing concerns for society in general. Everyone involved in fostering children and young people needs to be fully aware of the issues involved. CSE is what takes place when abusers encourage children and young people under the age of 18 into relationships, or situations that are sexually exploitative. In reward for engaging in sexual activities, a young person may be offered a variety of things. These can include: accommodation, food, drugs, gifts or money. Initially, simple affection may be offered as abusers try to select children who might be feeling vulnerable and uncared for. All children can be potential victims:
"Any child or young person may be at risk of sexual exploitation, regardless of their family background or other circumstances. This includes boys and young men as well as girls and young women. However, some groups are particularly vulnerable. These include children and young people who have a history of running away or of going missing from home, those with special needs, those in and leaving residential and foster care, migrant children, unaccompanied asylum seeking children, children who have disengaged from education and children who are abusing drugs and alcohol, and those involved in gangs (p 17)."(Safeguarding Children and Young people from Sexual Exploitation, 2009).
Technology has grown increasingly significant regarding CSE. Children find it hard to recognise the risks; requests, initially, can be low level – such as being asked to send ordinary pictures followed gradually by requests for intimate pictures. Being groomed online can also involve intimidation and coercion – often with the direct, or implied threat of violence. Perpetrators will seek out young people who are vulnerable, often with limited life choices. The relationship is one where the abuser always retains power over the abused: this has the effect of increasing the dependence of the victim.
Sexual exploitation can arise in different forms: the relationship may begin with a feeling it consensual. Sex may be exchanged for a range of different things such as affection, accommodation, gifts or simple attention. Threats and blackmail may then be used if perpetrators want to involve young people in organised crime such as drugs. Social media, together with developing technology, such as tablets and mobile phones has given rise to increasing levels of concern. Cyber bullying bound up with CSE is increasingly prevalent where young children can be accessed through technology, used when they cannot be monitored as they would be at home.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre state that the bulk of child sexual exploitation offences now take place online. They have found that the group comprising most victims is children aged between 13 and 14, but young women and young men can also fall victim.
In trying to determine how many young people are affected, there are no precise figures available:cases in recent years do provide some indication as to the potential scale of the problem. One leading example was The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Rotherham published in 2014. This estimated that 1,400 children were sexually exploited between 1997 and 2013. There is no typical Perpetrator, they may be: any ethnicity, any gender, an adult or another young person. They may be very 'visible' professional people you would not associate remotely with such activity. What they are all likely to have in common is a persuasive, articulate and plausible manner. Not all perpetrators will use money or presents to coerce young people.
For anyone connected with fostering, this is an area of constant concern: last year Ofsted reported a 36% rise in children missing from foster care. When this happens the worry will always be that abuse may be involved or be about to take place. Some young people might already have been the victims of CSE before becoming looked after children.
Some possible indicators that CSE is taking place that you should be aware of -for general health
- sexually risky behaviour,
- sexually precocious language,
- physical symptoms (bruising can indicate physical/sexual assault),
- fatigue/listless behaviour,
- recurring STD's (sexually transmitted diseases),
- pregnancy, or seeking pregnancy advice,
- indications of drug, alcohol or substance misuse:
- truancy,
- changes in educational performance,
- volatile behaviour, mood swings,
- abusive language:
- secretive behaviour,
- involvement in petty crime,
- being seen with unknown adults,
- erratic timekeeping,
- poor self image and low self esteem,
- self harming behaviour, overdosing, cutting, eating disorders,
- promiscuous behaviour:
- associating with others known to be sexually active,
- disengagement from the usual peer group and age-appropriate activities,
- sexual relationship with an older person,
- sexual relationship with a younger person - a known victim of abuse,
- being observed in places where sexual activity is known to take place,
- going missing repeatedly for prolonged periods,
- having sums of money without an adequate explanation,
- new clothes, smarter appearance without an explanation of where the money came from,
- having keys that are unfamiliar,
- staying out all night,
- possession of expensive items - perhaps mobile phones and jewellery.
Foster carers will usually have a sense when something is not right. The above lists are some of the common indicators. It is important to understand that young people who are being sexually exploited commonly do not regard themselves as victims. If you have suspicions, you should quickly bring them to the attention of your fostering social worker.
Steps foster carers can take
Children and young people should be told that it is never safe to arrange to meet someone they have only met online – unless they take an adult with them.
In the home environment, a carer can place access restrictions on computers, laptops and phones that have an internet connection. There is more information on this at thinkuknow.co.uk.
It is important to make children aware; if they are worried, that they can talk to adults they know – such as teachers. They should also be told they can get anonymous support by calling Childline on 08001111 or Get Connected on 0808 808 4994 (text 80849).
Always listen to what a child or young person says and take it seriously.
If a child goes missing, always call the police. It is not necessary to wait 24 hours.
If you have suspicions that a child or young person in your care may be being groomed, report your concerns to the National Crime Agency: www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/
Summary and how to help victims of CSE
Abuse can have many long term effects. These can show in a range of psychological and behavioural problems. As mentioned, depression and low self esteem may result. Eating disorders, continuing sexualised behaviour and substance misuse can also occur.
It has been estimated that 36% of girls and 29% of boys could be affected by CSE.
Significantly, one study discovered that around three-quarters of children who had been the victims of sexual abuse, were unable to report the abuse at the time it was happening. A further third still had not reported their experience when they reached early adulthood. It is important to let children know they can communicate anything without fear of judgement: that they can feel safe in reporting what is happening to them. They should know also that they are not alone and this is a problem that affects a great many young people in society. This can deal with the sense of guilt and isolation perpetrators exploit. The social worker responsible for the child/young person's case should be informed immediately if you have concerns. The following links provide further information and guidance.

When Cain murdered Abel, violence was introduced into a violence-free world. But violence is like a cancer; its nature is to multiply exponentially, to spread and attack other healthy organs, to dominate its host even if such domination leads to the death of the host—and, ironically, its own demise as well.
Cain's crime deserves capital punishment, but God is merciful. If Cain can't live with others as a settled farmer, then he must become a wanderer, estranged from all relationships. He won't be a part of any family, any tribe, or any clan, those relationships that provide both nurture and protection. Cain realizes this; he knows he will be fair game to anyone and everyone. "I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and anyone who meets me may kill me."
So God, ever merciful, promises to protect him. "'Not so! Whoever kills Cain will suffer a sevenfold vengeance.' And the LORD put a mark on Cain, so that no one who came upon him would kill him." Now here is an important point: vengeance in the hands of God is protective, not retributive. Vengeance is a terrible tool, and only God, who alone is supposed to be the giver and taker of life, is capable of utilizing it properly. God puts a mark on Cain that tells others to back off, and backing off is what God wants; he does not want to have to actually avenge Cain's death. He just wants Cain to be protected.
Immediately following this story is a short genealogy beginning with Cain, and five generations in Lamech is born. There is an interruption in the droning pattern of the genealogy—the writer's way of saying, "Pay attention, this is the important part." "Lamech said to his wives: 'Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.'" Vengeance in the hands of humans is not merely protective, but retributive, excessive, and escalating. The escalation is two-fold: first, Lamech promises that his revenge will be seventy-seven times greater than the offense, not the mere seven times that God will avenge Cain. Second, while God promises to avenge Cain's death, Lamech kills a man just for wounding him. This is not an eye for an eye; it's rather a life for an eye.
Hit me, I'll kill you. This is an eleven-fold acceleration of the downward spiral of violence, spanning five generations but compressed over just a couple of verses to impress upon us the severity of the regressive cycle.
What is interesting is that this truncated genealogy of Cain and Lamech is followed by the expanded genealogy of chapter five. This genealogy, however, doesn't flow from Adam through Cain and his descendants, but from Adam and his third son, Seth. In this genealogy the people live extraordinarily long lives: 912 years, 815 years, 962 years, capped off by Methuselah, who lived 969 years. And there is no pattern; there isn't a slow degradation in the human condition in which men live shorter and shorter lives as the list progresses, signifying the degrading effects of sin. No, they all live long lives, some longer than others, but it varies. Methuselah actually appears toward the end of the list.
So what? Well, it would appear that the writer of Genesis is making the point that the way of murderous Cain and vengeful Lamech does not and cannot lead to life. It is the genealogy of death and degradation. The genealogy of life must pass through another son and another way.
So this way is always present, always available, but it is not the way that prevails. The way of violence seems to prevail, and violence not only leads to more violence, it leads to worse violence, from sevenfold to seventy-sevenfold. Always. It just keeps getting worse until you can't stand it anymore.
"Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence." The change is radical, from an earth void of violence to an earth filled with violence. It metastasized, affecting not only the humans, but the earth itself. The earth itself became corrupt; all creation suffers when humans unleash their violence upon each other. This is self-evident when one simply looks at pictures of the landscapes of battlefields days after the fighting has ended. The barrenness of the earth is clear to see. Or go to neighborhoods ravaged by drug and gang violence and see the lack of life and beauty that is left. Violence attacks any healthy organ and brings desolation. The earth itself becomes collateral damage, and regardless of what any human will say, to God there is no acceptable level of collateral damage.
"The LORD saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart."
God was sorry. He regretted ever making the humans. He repented of his decision to make these violence-addicted creatures. That ought to make you pause. Of all the sins that you and I could commit, this is the one that makes God repent, makes him question his own decision, makes him want to go back, hit rewind, and start all over again.
This alone is evidence that the violence that humans perpetrate, tolerate, accept as tolerable, even necessary, maybe even, on a certain level claim as redemptive—this is our Original Sin. This is what we need to be saved from.
And then, in a great ironic twist, to solve the problem God himself commits the greatest and most comprehensive act of violence the world has ever known. We'll see how that turned out.

THOUSANDS of football fans were leafleted by a family desperately trying to search for a teenage boy who has been missing for five years.
Andrew Gosden disappeared from his Balby home in September 2007 and there have been no definite sightings of the 14-year-old after that day when he was spotted on CCTV at King's Cross station in London.
His devastated family have since launched a campaign to find Andrew and on Saturday teamed up with British charity Missing People to leaflet football fans at the Keepmoat Stadium during Doncaster Rovers versus Scunthorpe United.
Martin Crosby, of Missing People, said: "We had 1,000 people holding up posters and people have asked us to personally send them information so they can distribute it around their towns and villages.
"The feedback was very supportive and a lot of people have offered their spare time to help the search for Andrew."
If you can help or volunteer, call Martin on 07872 601681 or email email@example.com

One of the core problems with TRON: Legacy was that it completely disregarded the subsequent advances in video gaming since the first film.

Sponsored by Nix Comics and SPACE
In the process of doing these Indie Comics Fair teasers, I'm learning something about my fellow comic creators. When you ask them for a bio, they leave out a lot of the good stuff. Here's what Canada Keck sent me:
"Canada Keck is a sociologist by intention and a cartoonist by accident. She started writing comics about three years ago, when she stayed up all night at wrote a 24-page comic in 24 hours. Since then she has self-published comics, had her comics in anthologies, edited anthologies for the Sunday Comix group, and curated two exhibits of comic art for Wild Goose Creative."
Now, admittedly, I told people to keep it brief… But I don't think that this blurb really does justice to how cool Canada is. So let me add some "good stuff."
Canada starting working in cartoons as a result of being strongly involved in her teenage daughter's interest in comics. Her introduction to comics was chaperoning Kira to Sunday Comix group meetings. At those meetings Canada became an active participant as opposed to merely vigilant parent, culminating with her first 24 hour comic.
Edited Anthologies = Kicked Sunday Comix into gear
I love the people who regularly show up at the Sunday Comix meetings, but I get the impression that there hasn't always been an emphasis on production as a group. That's not to say that individuals in the group don't publish their comics, more that there was a lack of regular collaborative efforts between the members. (Forgive if I'm wrong. That's my impression.) Canada has taken the reins a bit and made sure that Sunday Comix meetings lead to actual printed and bound anthologies.
And not these anthologies aren't frivolous things either. The "Bowl Full of Happiness" anthology was a made for charity book with all proceeds going the Hero Initiative, which aids comic artists who are uninsured or under-insured. Currently she is working on the Connections anthology which will benefit the American Suicide Prevention Fund.
OK… Bad friend admission. I only remember one of the exhibits Canada curated for a fact: Last year's Panel's in Pink show which featured work by women creators from central Ohio. It was a real eye opener, I think, for people who thought that comic book creators are all weird middle aged men like me.
(It's gonna bother me. What was the second exhibit? I think she curated Max Ink's Blink exhibit, maybe? I guess this goes to my point about leaving out the good stuff in bios.)

What I am watching is the running tally at the bottom of CNN's Ohio uncommitted voters and the pattern is interesting. Joe's tally line appears to stay middle to positive, with very few dips below the middle line. Palin's, on the other hand, fluctuates more wildly with both higher marks but also lower dips. It seems to dip low when she tries to be folksy. What does all this mean?
Hopefully, what it means is that 38 days from now, none of this will matter. If Palin is deemed "the winner" of this debate, then she should be happy to grant press conferences or more interviews. I don't think that will happen, but if they "quit while they think they're ahead", it will actually benefit the Obama-Biden ticket. This will probably convince the people who never thought she was stupid that they now have their belief confirmed. Oh well...we weren't going to get them anyway.
Live blogging now switches to the contest that really matters tonight--THE CUBS GAME!!!

In March 1906 a motion censuring Lord Milner for an infraction of the Chinese labour ordinance, in not forbidding light corporal punishment of coolies for minor offences in lieu of imprisonment, was moved by a Radical member of the House of Commons.
He began by repealing Catherine's law which exempted the free classes of the population of Russia from corporal punishment and mutilation.
The slaves were bound to work for their masters during this period for three-fourths of the day, and were to be liable to corporal punishment if they did not give the due amount of labour.

He was an ardent social reformer; he secured the abolition of corporal punishment in the schools, the suppression of lotteries, of houses of ill-fame and of obscene literature; he instituted reforms in the hospitals, and insisted on the honours of public burial for the poor.
It was only as late as 1904, however, that the landed proprietors were forbidden by law to inflict corporal punishment upon the peasants.
One was the strict limitation of corporal punishment to offences of mutiny and gross personal violence to officers, where previously it might be inflicted for many forms of misconduct, and it can only now be adjudged under great restrictions.
The jurisdiction was something jointly shared with the temporal power in case corporal punishment were involved.
In addition to the franchise, immunity from corporal punishment (even in the field) was promised the Latins.

Snakes, Alligators Endanger Shuttered Casinos in Poorest State
The entrance to Caesars Entertainment Corp.'s Harrah's Tunica, Mississippi's largest casino, is under seven feet of water. At the Rainbow Casino Hotel in Vicksburg, a dozen workers stacked sandbags to try to protect the building from the swollen Mississippi River.
"All these casinos and hotels along the river are going to have problems with alligators and snakes," said Alicia Brooks, a Vicksburg retail store worker, as she watched.
Slot machines and blackjack tables have gone silent as floods have shut 17 of Mississippi's 19 river-based casinos in the U.S.'s third-largest gaming-employment market, jeopardizing thousands of jobs and $13 million a month in taxes. Flooding will slow the recovery from a recession two years ago, which was already lagging behind the U.S., said Sohini Chowdhury, an economist with Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
"There is no doubt that the casino closures will weigh on the state's recovery," Chowdhury said. "A month of inactivity would deprive the already cash-strapped local and state governments of critical funds."
Mississippi ranked third among states in employment at its commercial casinos, with about 25,000 people in 2010, only behind Nevada and New Jersey, according to the American Gaming Association. Those commercial venues had more than 33,000 slot- machine and other gaming machines.
First-Class Hotels
Mississippi, the poorest U.S. state based on median household income, turned to casino gambling two decades ago to try to draw higher-paying jobs and bolster its tourism industry with first-class hotels. The latest setback follows Hurricane Katrina, which shut casinos along the Gulf Coast in 2005.
Major employers may cut as many as 15,000 jobs related to the floods, including 12,500 at casino resorts, said Jimmy Giles, director of customer operations support for the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. As of May 11, 2,077 people had filed for unemployment benefits related to the flood, he said.
Moody's may lower its estimate for job growth of 1.4 percent for Mississippi in 2011, Chowdhury said. The state's economy grew at a rate that was "slightly lower than the U.S." last year, and "this gap could very well widen."
The river in Memphis crested at 47.87 feet on May 10, just below the 1937 record of 48.7, according to the National Weather Service. It won't crest in Mississippi until next week, then may take three or four weeks for its level to gradually decline, Governor Haley Barbour said May 11. Barbour said it's too early to estimate damages facing the state.
'Church People'
"Casinos have been one of the better-paying jobs here and they even have church people working there because the pay scale is better than other places," said Al Williams, a school-bus mechanic in Vicksburg who has friends who work at the casinos. "Closings are going to hurt a lot of people."
Structural damage and closure for at least a few weeks will affect DiamondJacks Casino & Hotel, one of two properties owned by Legends Gaming LLC, said Felicia Gavin, executive vice president and general manager.
"We're definitely going to have structural damage," said Gavin, who has led the 425-employee casino for three years. "It's going to have a big impact not only on us but the local community because of taxes." She declined to estimate potential losses.
The city of Greenville receives $120,000 a month from casino taxes, while the county gets $180,000 per month, said Larry Jones, executive director of the Delta Economic Development Center. The region's biggest economic boost in the past two years was Churchill Downs Inc. (CHDN)'s $138 million purchase of the Harlow's Casino Resort & Hotel in Greenville, he said.
State losses are coming just as demand for services will increase with the disaster. "That puts a lot of strain on an already strained state budget," said Michael Chriszt, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. The Atlanta Federal Reserve district includes southern Mississippi.
Rising Unemployment
The state, which had a 10.2 percent unemployment rate in March, could see its joblessness rise to as high as 11.6 percent, said Marianne Hill, a senior economist for the Mississippi State Institutions of Higher Learning.
"Many of the unemployed, in addition to the loss of jobs, will be suffering from the loss of possessions and damage to their homes," she said. "Some businesses may be unable to recover, and there may be some shift of population to other regions."
The Ameristar Casino Hotel and Riverwalk Casino in Vicksburg remained open as of May 11. Flood waters may force their closure by next week, said Allen Godfrey, deputy director of the state's casino commission.
Record Flood
The Mississippi River is expected to crest in Vicksburg at 57.5 feet on May 17, about 1.5 feet higher than the record flood in 1927, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Snakes are expected to be a concern as the flooding moves south to rural areas inhabited by reptiles. The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, in an advisory May 9, urged residents near the river to "be on the lookout for dangerous wildlife the floodwaters such as snakes, rats, alligators or any frightened animal. If you see wild animals, stay away."
The economic impact goes beyond casinos. About 1,200 of Vicksburg's 4,000 manufacturing jobs are idled because of flood- related problems, said Wayne Mansfield, executive director of the Vicksburg Port Authority, an economic development agency.
About 1.4 million acres of Mississippi farm and timber land are likely to be inundated by water, including 580,000 cultivated acres of corn, soybeans and wheat, said Andy Prosser, a spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce. Family-owned farms make up about 98 percent of the state's agricultural holdings, he said.
"Our state's economy is still based on agriculture in many areas and when farmers lose that income, it's going to hurt the local economies," Prosser said.
Mississippi State University professor John Michael Riley estimated farm losses will end up between $250 million to $800 million, depending on how long farmland was flooded.
Still Paying Workers
The income loss at casinos is being cushioned because some, including Caesars and Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. (ISLE), are paying workers for now. Caesars will pay workers through May 31.
Beyond the losses during the closings, tourism officials say they are concerned that news coverage of the floods will keep away visitors even as some hotels and attractions have stayed open. The state is considering advertising and marketing, said Mary Beth Wilkerson, tourism director for the Mississippi Development Authority.
Among attractions still open are Vicksburg National Military Park, antebellum homes, shopping, museums, hotels and restaurants in the area, said Laura Beth Lyons, a spokeswoman for the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Most of the casino visitors come from nearby states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, according to the state.
Economists say lost gambling income, and visits to nearby restaurants and attractions, are likely not going to be made up later.
"The region is going to be set back," said Mark Vitner, a senior economist for Wells Fargo Securities LLC in Charlotte, North Carolina. "It is going to be hard to make up those losses. It is a heck of a mess."

1. Accolades continue to collect for Georgia Tech golfers Ollie Schniederjans and Anders Albertson.
Schniederjans was named the ACC player of the year for the second year in a row. Albertson was named to the All-ACC team, along with Schniederjans. It's Albertson's fourth All-ACC honor, making him one of 16 players in conference history to achieve that feat. It was Schniederjans' third All-ACC selection. He has won one tournament this season and finished in the top 10 eight times in 10 events.
Schniederjans finished last summer as the world's top-ranked amateur, earning him exemptions into the U.S. and British opens. Albertson won the Byron Nelson Award earlier this season, an award that considers a player's entire collegiate academic and playing career as well as character and citizenship.
"As a duo, what they have accomplished here and in the ACC would stand up against any two players we've had in this program," coach Bruce Heppler said in a news release.
Tech, ranked No. 10 in the country by Golfstat, will travel to Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., Tuesday to compete in the NCAA regional held at the Farms Golf Club, which begins Thursday. It will be Tech's 27th NCAA appearance. The Jackets need to finish in the top five of the 13-team field to advance to the NCAA championship.
Monday, Albertson advanced out of a U.S. Open local qualifier at Chateau Elan by shooting a 3-under-par. He was one of seven players out of 132 entrants (including teammates James Clark, Jacob Joiner and Vincent Whaley) to move on to sectional qualifying, a 36-hole event June 8 at 12 different U.S. sites. The number of qualifiers who will earn U.S. Open spots at the qualifiers, including one at Hawks Ridge in Ball Ground, have yet to be determined.
Tech takes series, holds steady in RPI
The Tech baseball team took a three-game series from Pittsburgh this past weekend at Russ Chandler Stadium, but actually fell back one slot in RPI. The Jackets entered the series ranked No. 26, but were No. 27 as of Monday. The setback was likely due to Pittsburgh's RPI (166 as of Monday) and the negative impact of home losses.
Barring strong results at No. 4 Miami this weekend and at the ACC tournament, the Jackets would seem to be closing in on a No. 2 seed for an NCAA regional at the No. 1 seed's campus. The website Boyd's World indicates that Tech would need to beat Georgia Tuesday at Turner Field and sweep Miami to earn a top-16 RPI ranking going into the ACC tournament.
On the field, Sunday starter Brandon Gold delivered again. Gold gave up two runs over six innings, with five hits, three strikeouts and one walk, in earning the win in a 10-3 win Sunday at Russ Chandler. Gold is now 7-2 overall and 5-1 in rubber games. His play this season – 2.77 ERA, .218 opponent batting average, 67/22 strikeout/walk ratio – is one of the most remarkable aspects of the season, particularly considering that Gold did not throw an inning last season as a freshman, didn't begin this season as a starting pitcher and is hitting .274 as a part-time infielder.
Third baseman Matt Gonzalez now has a 13-game hit streak. Right fielder A.J. Murray now has an ACC-best 14 home runs.
Tech-Georgia Tuesday night
Tech plays Georgia at 7 p.m. at Turner Field Tuesday night. The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports South. The Jackets need the win for the season series, which will be shortened to two games because the April 14 game at Russ Chandler was rained out and will not be made up.
If Tech does win, it will give the school a football/men's basketball/baseball sweep for the first time since the 1970-71 academic year (factoid courtesy of the Tech communications office). Cole Pitts (0-5, 6.98 ERA) will start for the Jackets.
Gregory waits on transfer decisions
Tech men's basketball coaches will continue to wait on possible graduate transfers Tyler Harris (forward from Providence) and Eli Carter (guard from Florida). Both have been visiting with schools – Harris' list includes Auburn, Nebraska and Oklahoma State. Harris' list reportedly has Boston College, Clemson, N.C. State and St. John's besides Tech, among others.
If neither picks Tech, coach Brian Gregory's shopping for the summer may be over and he would go into the 2014-15 season with one open scholarship with guard Chris Bolden not returning after finishing the season suspended for the final six games.
Bolden may stay to complete his degree at the end of the fall term and then play his senior season elsewhere as a graduate transfer.
Women's tennis falls in second round
The Tech women's tennis team reached the round of 32 of the NCAA tournament, but fell there 5-0 to No. 5 Florida in Gainesville, Fla., on Saturday. The Jackets' season ends at 17-10. The 17 wins were the most in coach Rodney Harmon's three seasons.
Tech had reached the second round by defeating Wichita State 4-3 on Friday, with Megan Kurey winning the decisive point at No. 4 singles, 3-6, 7-6 (8-6), 7-5. Kurey was down 6-4 in the second set tiebreaker and fought off two match points – which would have ended Tech's season – and won four points in a row altogether to force a third set. She came back from down 5-3 in the third set to take the match and eliminate Wichita State.
Kendal Woodard and Paige Hourigan will play in the NCAA doubles championship and Hourigan will also compete in singles. That tournament starts May 20 in Waco, Texas.
Those more familiar with Tech's tennis program that the Florida men's team is coached by former Tech women's coach Bryan Shelton, the only coach in school history to lead a Tech team to an NCAA championship (2007. The school's football championships were not awarded by the NCAA.) If you're wondering, the Florida men were ranked No. 22 but were upset in the first round by No. 39 Pepperdine.
Men's tennis team loses to Columbia
The Tech men, ranked No. 42, lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to No. 17 Columbia on Friday. The Jackets' season is complete at 14-13. Tech completed the season winning by beating Duke, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech at the end of the regular season and in the ACC tournament. All three made the NCAA tournament, and Duke is into the round of 16.
Against Columbia, Tech won the doubles point (Michael Kay and Christopher Eubanks at No. 2 doubles and Nathan Rakitt and Cole Fiegel at No. 3 doubles) but surrendered the first four points in singles to lose the match. Five of the six players who took the court for Tech in Oxford, Miss., are scheduled to return next season.
Minor-league update
Among several former Tech baseball players in the minor leagues, perhaps the three playing the best thus far are pitcher Buck Farmer (Triple-A Toledo), shortstop Mott Hyde (Single-A Quad Cities) and pitcher Jake Esch (Double-A Jacksonville). Farmer, drafted by the Tigers in 2013, was 3-1 with a 3.94 ERA with six starts as of Tuesday. He has 40 strikeouts against 13 walks in 32 innings pitched.
Hyde, drafted last year in the 26th round by Houston, was hitting .319 with a .415 on-base percentage. He hit .254 (.331 OBP) last season in rookie ball. His average was 14th in the Midwest League as of Monday and his on-base percentage was fifth.
Esch, drafted in the 11th round in 2011 by the Marlins, has steadily worked up to Double-A, where he was 3-1 with a 1.93 ERA and a 22/7 strikeout/walk ratio in four starts. Esch was an infielder at Tech, and only threw five innings as a junior, but he wowed scouts by hitting 95 with his fastball during fall practice.
Also interesting: Esch, who went by Jacob at Tech, was a civil engineering major with a 3.65 GPA and was one semester shy of graduating when he decided to take the Marlins' offer.

F**k You Scale
>> Tuesday, January 11, 2011
I don't know what is going on, my weight is not moving. Let me rephrase that, my weight is moving -- in the wrong direction. I am running, lifting, eating normally. My silhouette looks good, clothes are fitting fine, but the scale keeps moving up. I am getting so frustrated. Trinidad is in eight weeks and I look like sh*t, to be honest not really sure how much I can do in eight weeks, but I know no matter what I do I will still not look as good as the ladies that I am going to be with. You know how you see a group of girls and there is always that one girl who looks wack? ME.

1. Carl Pavano
2. Francisco Liriano
3. Nick Blackburn
4. Scott Baker
5. Brian Duensing
Now that we're a little past the halfway point and nearing the All-Star break, we throw this out there: If you wanted to re-shuffle the deck in terms of performance, potential, left-right balance and any other factors, how would you do it?
All five starters have either five or six victories to go with five, six or seven losses. Francisco Liriano (5-7, 4.76 ERA) has the worst record and ERA of the bunch, but he has a no-hitter to his credit and has a 2.93 ERA since the beginning of May after that awful April. Two weeks ago the easy No. 5 might have been Duensing, but he has lowered his ERA to 4.25 and looked sharp shutting out Tampa Bay on Monday. Scott Baker is almost certainly your No. 1 at this point. But perhaps you feel differently.
It doesn't particularly matter since starters don't seem to get skipped, but we're just curious: How would you line up the starters based on performance so far this year?

USA Today (11/25/15) Paul Davidson
Around 2.7 million Americans quit jobs in September, holding steady for the past 13 months even as the unemployment rate dropped from 5.9% to 5.1% over the same period, according to data from the U.S. Department of Labor. A large number of quits generally signals a dynamic economy in which workers feel confident about leaving one job for another, so economists are concerned that the figure has barely budged. The number of quits rose from 1.7 million to 2.7 million from early 2010 to late 2014, and the number of quits was around 3 million during a similar point in the last recovery in late 2005.
Economists believe modest wage growth is among the reasons employees are not as confident in the labor market right now. However, in the maturing recovery, Jeffrey Cohn of the executive search firm DHR International says companies are seeking workers with more specialized skills, and Paul McDonald of Robert Half says job candidates increasingly are more interested in training and a promising career path than stability or higher pay.

Happy October 1 everybody!
I'm wrapping up a very important meeting right now.
In attendance: me.
I feel somewhat strange for enjoying these sort of meetings so much. You know the kind where you clean out your purse, budget, plan, think, read. It feels so great to get (sorta) organized. It's my idea of fun - makes my little world go round.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
I'm planning on getting some things done around the house.
And I'm hoping to make Mimi's apple cake and The Pioneer Woman's olive cheese bread.
So I guess better schedule in some exercise too.
Important Meeting

When Daddy doesn't have to guess what he wants, needs, doesn't like, etc. And, I love his carhart's too:) Matt has a pair as well that he wears when he is working in the barn. They match and its precious;)

When I heard book 2 was going to be featuring Silas Moore I was less than impressed. I'm not clueless and I'm aware that authors have reason behind characteristics attributed to characters in their books, but Silas was just unnecessarily obnoxious.
Let's see what I thought post reading, shall we?
In this second book in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cora Carmack s New Adult, Texas-set Rusk University series, which began with All Lined Up, a young woman discovers that you can't only fight for what you believe in… sometimes you have to fight for what you love.
Dylan fights for lost causes. Probably because she used to be one.
Environmental issues, civil rights, corrupt corporations, and politicians you name it, she's probably been involved in a protest. When her latest cause lands her in jail overnight, she meets Silas Moore. He's in for a different kind of fighting. And though he's arrogant and infuriating, she can't help being fascinated with him. Yet another lost cause.
Football and trouble are the only things that have ever come naturally to Silas. And it's trouble that lands him in a cell next to do-gooder Dylan. He's met girls like her before fixers, he calls them, desperate to heal the damage and make him into their ideal boyfriend. But he doesn't think he's broken, and he definitely doesn't need a girlfriend trying to change him. Until, that is, his anger issues and rash decisions threaten the only thing he really cares about: his spot on the Rusk University football team. Dylan might just be the perfect girl to help.
Because Silas Moore needs some fixing after all.
When you take an activist and the stigma ridden bad boy jock and team them up, nothing good can really happen. Only it's just that when Cora Carmack (who is conjuring up hot men with kittens in her spare time, and inspiring me daily to take a minute, sit down and do breathing exercises – thanks for that, Cora) takes said activist and bad boy – sparks fly.
Jumping right into what I thought –
The fact that Dylan's story, thoughts, true character and all around awesomeness is revealed gradually as the story progresses it's just absolutely wonderfully done. Dylan is one strong female character. She's gorgeous (as if Silas will be paired up with anything not par with his own prettiness) and confident, and quite contrary to what her family is expecting of her – will do as much as she can, and a little extra, for what she believes in.
Dylan apparently cannot back down from a "project" and it turns out that Silas is a project, or so he declares himself to be when he asks her to help him change.
Silas is on the verge of being kicked off the football team, which means no scholarship, which means off of school, which means all alone and back to where he came from. And that's not a good place. No one really knows about his life before he came to school at Rusk, and he prefers to keep it this way. The one thing he didn't plan on is Dylan, but then she sees right through him and into his potential. She sees all that is good in him. And there you have it – a great story.
I also really love how Carmack creates a great supporting circle of minor characters, and incorporates them into the story. All of Silas's friends, and even his mother and Dylan's family worked fantastically moving the plot along.
Cora Carmack changed my mind and made me fall in love with Silas, or as the promo for this book states – I have the Silas Virus. LOL. That's why I am giving this book the highest rating.
I'm now looking forward to Torres's story (that's next, right?).
Cora Carmack is a twenty-something writer who likes to write about twenty-something characters. She's done a multitude of things in her life– boring jobs (like working retail), Fun jobs (like working in a theatre), stressful jobs (like teaching), and dream jobs (like writing). She enjoys placing her characters in the most awkward situations possible, and then trying to help them get a boyfriend out of it. Awkward people need love, too. Her first book, LOSING IT, was a New York Times and USA Today bestseller.

When I was in grade 1, I had the best of time playing with the girls, until the boys shamed me into joining them.
That led to a slide down a dirt hill and a dishing out by my second grade teacher.
Since then I developed hay fever out of stress of trying to fit in.
IN Grade 6, I got out of a softball game during which the boys used insults to win the game. The girls were glad that i offered Kleenex in sympathy.
So yes, grade school was when I learned about the war between the sexes. any man who denies this is either sexist or selective about his grade-school memories.
