Munday's Paul commits to Tech
Red Raiders picked over Bears, Vols
Texas Tech coaches Kliff Kingsbury and Sonny Cumbie stopped by Dee Paul's house Saturday morning.
Paul had already decided he would be committing to the Red Raiders earlier thatnight, but thevisit further backed up thestrong relationship he has established with the Red Raiders, which was at the root of his college decision.
"My relationship with the coaches from Tech is really good," said Paul, who will be a defensive back and return kicks for the Red Raiders. "Coach Cumbie and Coach Kingsbury were at my house this morning, and we just had a ball, just laughing it up and getting to know each other."
Paul, who originally committed to SMU, chose Texas Tech over Baylor and Tennessee.
He also had an offer from Oklahoma State, but not being able to run track kept him from strongly considering the Cowboys.
Also playing in Tech's favor was its location. Lubbock is only two hours from Munday.
"I knew if I was in Lubbock, I'd get a lot more support from everybody," Paul said. "Everybody in Munday loves Tech. So Red Raiders, baby!"
Paul led the Moguls to the Class A Division II state championship in 2012. He rushed for 1,956 yards and 32 touchdowns, passed for 1,579 yards and 23 scores while leading the area with eight interceptions on defense.
Verbal commitments are nonbinding. National Signing Day is Feb. 6.

CALGARY -- Greetings from high atop -- and I mean high -- the Scotiabank Saddledome for tonight's Sabres-Flames game. This is a 27-year-old place that has seen better days (tiny, tiny concourses, people) but has plenty of history too. There were Stanley Cup finals games here in 1986, 1989 and 2004 and, of course, the 1988 Winter Olympics.
It was here where Katarina Witt stole the hearts of the world in women's figure skating. And my recollection is pretty clear that she stole the heart of News columnist Donn Esmonde, who watched from the press section and then famously wrote that she was "Kat" to him.
The weather here is a stunner. It was in the low 40s and sunny today. Not what I expected. I'm going back to the arctic tomorrow in Edmonton, where it's not going to get past about 6 degrees. Found some terrific wild mushroom soup and spaghetti with kobe beef meatballs last night at a place called Joey Tomatos. I'd link you the menu but can't find a Web site. Hmmm. Spent today atop the iconic Calgary Tower, which was made most famous when it was topped by the Olympic flame for those two weeks in 1988. Got some great shots from up there of the Rocky Mountains and Saddledome itself (left).
Now for the press box. OK, for the most part I have no fear of heights. Flying doesn't bother me. Going up tall buildings in elevators doesn't bother me. But I had heard plenty about this thing before making this trip.
There are catwalks above the scoreboard -- yes, above the scoreboard -- that take you from the writers side to the broadcast/team personnel side. So good thing I don't need to talk to any scratched players or Darcy Regier tonight. And I'll politely turn down any radio requests.
To get in here, it's an elevator ride to the top of the building, a double set of stairs up to the top corner and then a long catwalk into the booth (left, click for a bigger view). Once you're in here, it's fine. It's much like the view you have in a place like Montreal or Boston. But let's just say I was walking a little stiff on that catwalk -- and looking straight ahead.
Now for the hockey part. The scratches are the same for the Sabres (Shaone Morrison, Chris Butler). Derek Roy joins Tim Connolly on the injured list meaning there better not be any injured forwards tonight or Butler is back on the frontline tomorrow in Edmonton. The Sabres have to be watching the Boston-Florida game closely. The Panthers are tied with the Sabres with 32 points (as well as two games in hand and two head-to-head wins) while the Bruins are eight points ahead in eighth place and also have two games in hand.
Frankly, the standings don't mean much to me right now. This team is 1-4-2 in its last seven on the road and has not won more than two games in a row at any time all season. That's how you get to 12th place in your conference. They said all the right things this morning but I want to see how they respond mentally to the Roy injury.
Stay with me here. It's a late one on MSG with Mark Jeanneret (Rick's son) at the mic. I'm holding on tight up here.
---Mike Harrington
BREAKING NEWS ALERT: Tyler Myers is a scratch for the Sabres with the flu. Shaone Morrisonn is in. The Flames are not starting Miikka Kiprusoff in goal. It's Henrik Karlsson. No idea why.
Now Kiprusoff IS in goal. Game sheet said Karlsson was starting. Must have just been a typo.
Sabres starters: Sekera-Weber on defense instead of Myers. It's McCormick-Gaustad-Grier up front. Goal: miller
Flames starters: Jackman-Kostopolous-Moss-Giordano-Sarich: Goal: Kiprusoff.
Third Period
10:53 p.m.: We're under way.
17:40 left: Flames lead, 3-1. Old friend Ales Kotalik burns Miller with a quick snap shot high over the glove. His first in 10 games this year. I had a long talk with him this morning and he seemed to be struggling mentally. Cheap plug alert: Read comments from Kotalik in Tuesday's paper. He loved playing for the Sabres. Just didn't produce enough two-way hockey in his final couple of seasons for Lindy Ruff's liking.
13:12 left: David Moss pots a rebound of Tim Jackman's shot after Jackman beat Gerbe down the boards. Flames simply tougher than the Sabres in the last two periods of this one and, remember, they're 14th in the West and dealing with daily rumors that coach Darryl Sutter is getting fired. Flames lead, 4-1.
7;15 left: Working on up-against-deadline print story. Sabres will be 1-5-2 in last eight on road.
3:05 left: Kaleta scores to make it 4-2.
It's over: A 4-2 loss. Lousy effort last 40 minutes.
It's over II: (OK, so that's what happens when you push the button to run downstairs. It was a 5-2 loss as Tom Kotsopoulous scores on a 5-on-3 at the horn. Buffalo's NHL-high sixth 5-on-3 goal against of the season.
Second Period
17:34 left: Sabres dominated the first two shifts and didn't capitalize and now the game is tied. Olli Jokinen gets the goal, beating Sekera to the rebound of a Robyn Regehr shot and dumping it into an empty net. Game tied, 1-1.
17:20 left: We're stunned sitting here watching the 50/50 jackpot growing as it's constantly listed under the scoreboard. Kind of odd. What's the number at now: $47,425. Yep, $47,000 plus. Wow.
13:23 left: Much looser period so far on both sides. Weber off for high sticking so Flames to the power play. Couple good stops by Miller and the Sabres just failed to connect as Grier didn't convert Rivet's second terrific pass of the night. Before this penalty, Weber had a good shot from in tight on Kirprusoff and then did a beautiful job breaking up a 2-on-1 after a Niedermayer turnover.
12:41 left: Tanguay for hooking in the Buffalo zone kills the power play.
12:02 left: Sekera for interference as the Flames break down after Cory Sarich wipes out Ennis trying to cut in along the boards in the Calgary zone. So it's 4-on-3 for 40 seconds.
10:00 left: Bad news out of town as Boston gets the tying goal in the final 10 minutes and wins at Florida in a shootout, 3-2. So the Sabres are temporarily 10 points out of eighth and the Panthers pull one ahead of Buffalo alone in 11th. Three-point games are why the eight-point deficit heading into tonight is really that much more.
9:38 left: Miller with back-to-back solid saves on Iginla. Shots are 17-11 for Calgary -- 11-4 in this period. Flames were kind of sleepwalking through the first period. Not so in the middle frame. An observation: I have been in plenty of arenas where fans wear jerseys. I don't think I've ever seen so many jerseys in one place as the Saddledome. EVERYBODY is wearing one, mostly the red version. But I've also seen an Atlanta Flames one and some of the new gold Heritage classic togs the Flames will wear outside for their Feb. game against Montreal in McMahon Stadium.
7:30 left: Rene Bourque for hooking. An iffy call against Leopold.
6:40 left: After a slew of sloppy puckhandling by the Sabres, the Flames break out on a 2-on-1 but Curtis Glencross fires it off the post after a perfect feed by Brendan Morrison. Had Miller beat on the glove side.
3:47 left: Great shift by the Hecht line ends in disaster. They had two or three great chances but had been on the ice nearly a minute. Flames break out in 2-on-2 and Hecht loses Iginla, who pots great pass from Tanguay. Montador had him. Hecht has just been brutal in so many areas this year. Flames lead, 2-1.
End-2nd: Flames hold their 2-1 lead and it's 20-19 in shots for Calgary (14-12 for the Flames in a much looser second 20 minutes).
First Period
9:08: We're under way.
16:23 left Bouwmeester for holding for Calgary. This is the first game Myers has missed in his career after playing 117 straight. Both Calgary papers did stories on him today and he had oodles of family members at the morning skate. He came here Friday from Buffalo to spend Christmas with his family. What a shame.
13:10 left: Not many whistles, not many blog chances. Shots are 3-2 for Buffalo. Kiprusoff made a great save on McCormick and Montador found a post. The defense pairs without Myers are Weber-Sekera, Leopold-Montador and Morrisonn-Rivet. The lines are what we saw this morning: Ennis-Niedermayer-Vanek, Stafford-Hecht-Pominville, McCormick-Gaustad-Grier, Gerbe-Adam-Kaleta.
11:49 left: Stafford comes out front to Kiprusoff's right with a great move around Matt Stajan and slides one home along the ice for his 10th of the season. Sabres lead, 1-0, and have controlled much of the play. Replay showed it went in off the skate of Anton Babchuk.
9:27 left: Miller stops an Olli Jokinen shot high off the collarbone and that hurt. Last thing Sabres need is another injury to him.
8:39 left: Babchuk goes for holding Adam, who broke in around him after a terrific lead pass from Rivet.
6:00 left: The power play was up and down all year with Roy and was particularly bad on the road (26th with just 7 goals all season). So it's no shock it's been pretty lousy here so far. Leopold and Pominville are on the points of the first unit with Stafford-Ennis-Vanek up front.
2:59 left: Leopold for holding Jarome Iginla, who beat him down the rink chasing an iced puck. Came a few seconds after Ennis just failed to tap home a Vanek pass into an empty net. The captain's rush on Leopold has this crowd going for the first time tonight.
End-1st: Sabres lead, 1-0, through one. Shots are 7-6 for Buffalo. A solid road period. One giveaway by Weber and virtually no other mistakes in the zone. Couple nice saves by Miller. Couple chances for more goals for the Sabres. Minus Roy and Myers, can't ask for much more.

Something odd is going on with the Detroit Tigers. on Sunday, they put Dontrelle Willis on the disabled list with anxiety disorder.
In and of itself, that's unusual but hardly unheard of — as the above link notes, Zach Grienke of the Royals missed most of 2006 with anxiety disorder. What's odd is Willis' own description of it:
This is not something where I'm too amped up, I don't know where I'm at, and I'm running sprints up and down the parking lot. This is not something like that. (The doctors) see something in my blood that they don't like. I'm not crazy. My teammates might think I'm crazy. But this is not something like that.
Blood test? A psychological diagnosis from a blood test? Doesn't make sense to me.
As I recall, Grienke's season on the brink began in spring training, when he exhibited no interest in pitching. Even now, he can seem oddly detached from his occupation, at least in comparison to most major league talents. Whether it was anxiety disorder or depression, there was pretty clearly something wrong with him mentally and emotionally.
Willis' "symptoms," so far as I know, seem limited to his inability to command his pitches. This is often referred to as "Steve Blass disease," in (dis)honor of the Pirates pitcher whose career fell suddenly apart. Steve Blass disease is generally figured to be a mental block, in which the afflicted pitcher simply cannot "remember" physically how to throw the ball where he wants it. I don't know that's it a bona fide psychological disorder.
I have no problem with putting a player on the disabled list with a mental illness. But off what Willis told the media, I'm not certain he has a mental illness.
And if, as the Detroit Free Press link above suggests, the Tigers hope to recoup Willis' salary through insurance, this might be an interesting wrangle.

---- — AMESBURY — As stipulated by the revised City Charter, Mayor Thatcher Kezer will soon form a special committee to review the city's existing boards and commissions and determine if any of them are no longer necessary.
The review will be conducted as a way to hit the refresh button on Amesbury's government makeup, which Kezer said includes numerous boards and commissions that originated back when Amesbury still had a town form of government and have fallen dormant over time.
"There are a lot of boards and commissions made back in the town government days by volunteers with functions that we may not even need anymore," Kezer said. "So this will be the opportunity to look at that and prune out what's not necessary and then look at how we want to go forward."
There are currently 26 boards and commissions in Amesbury, not including the mayor's office, the City Council and the numerous subcommittees that proliferate in city government. Over 130 people make up those boards and commissions, and Kezer said that finding people to fill all of those seats is often a struggle.
"It's been a challenge overall of filling boards," Kezer said. "That's just an ongoing thing."
In order to scale back on the unnecessary boards, a new provision was included in the City Charter approved in 2011 dictating that every 10 years starting in 2013 a committee would be formed to review the city's boards and commissions. A similar provision was included for the city's codes and ordinances as well, with the first 10-year cycle scheduled to begin in 2018.
The intention is that every five years, a review process will be carried out to ensure that outdated aspects of the government can be identified and dealt with.
Kezer didn't specify what the timetable for this process would be, only that it would be happening this year, but said he wants the City Council to be involved and is looking for their feedback.
Eric Gregoire, the mayor's chief of staff, recently met with members of the City Council at their annual goal-setting meeting, and during the meeting he asked them to send the mayor their opinion on the board's makeup and if they were interested in serving themselves.
"The conversation with council leadership is discussing how we want to do this, who should be on it," Kezer said. "It's something we want to do cooperatively with the City Council."
The boards and commissions in Amesbury vary in size and makeup, but all are comprised of volunteers serving staggered terms so that roughly one-third of the group is up for re-election or re-appointment every year. The mayor or City Council appoints most of the members, but residents elect some committee members, including the members of the School Committee and the Planning Board.
Vacancies are a common occurrence on most of the boards, but usually that doesn't impede the board's ability to perform its function.
"Some have been inactive because there is nothing for them to do," Gregoire said. "They've served a purpose and they're just still on the books."
The Tree Board was a notable exception for a while, which caused a lot of problems for development efforts and some consternation among residents concerned about unauthorized tree cutting, but Kezer said new appointments have been made over the past six months and the board is back to active status.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 4, 2011) – The FIVB has confirmed the pool schedules for the upcoming 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix, the top annual international women's volleyball tournament.
The U.S. Women's National Team, ranked second in the world by the FIVB and the defending champions of the World Grand Prix, opens the three weekend preliminary round phase at Luohe, China. In Pool D, the Americans face ninth-ranked Serbia on Aug. 5 at 4 p.m. (1 a.m. PT), No. 19 Kazakhstan on Aug. 6 at 4 p.m. (1 a.m. PT) and No. 6 China on Aug. 7 at 7:30 p.m. (4:30 a.m. PT).
Team USA travels to Komaki, Japan, for the second preliminary round weekend. The U.S. opens Pool H against No. 13 Dominican Republic on Aug. 12 at 3 p.m. (11 p.m. PT on Aug. 11), followed by No. 3 Japan on Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. (2 a.m. PT) and a rematch with No. 9 Serbia on Aug. 14 at 3 p.m. (11 p.m. PT on Aug. 13).
The Americans conclude the preliminary round in Hong Kong, which will be hosting two pools under the Hong Kong Coliseum roof at the same time. The U.S. faces No. 10 Germany on Aug. 19 at 3 p.m. (midnight PT), followed by No. 4 Italy on Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. (4 a.m. PT) and No. 15 Peru on Aug. 21 at 11 a.m. (10 p.m. PT on Aug. 20).
The U.S. Women's National Team will face three teams ranked among the top six in the world (No. 3 Japan, No. 4 Italy and No. 6 China), along with three other matches against top 10 teams (twice against No. 9 Peru and No. 10 Germany). Team USA's nine FIVB World Grand Prix preliminary round matches result in an average world ranking of 9.78.
The top seven teams in the preliminary round plus China will advance to the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round held Aug. 24-28 at Macau, China. At last year's World Grand Prix Final Round staged in Ningbo, China, the U.S. defeated Poland, Italy, Brazil, China and Japan to walk away with the gold medal.
Last month U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon announced the 20-player preliminary roster for the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix that begins Aug. 5.
McCutcheon has selected as part of his 20-player preliminary roster middle blockers Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), Christa Harmotto (Hopewell, Pa.), Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) and Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.). Outside hitters in the mix for the final roster are Angie Forsett (Lake Mary, Fla.), Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.), Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.), Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah) and Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah).
Setters named to the preliminary roster are Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.). Opposites on the preliminary squad are Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio), Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.), Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) and Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa). Liberos on the roster are Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii).
The U.S. Women will attempt to defend its FIVB World Grand Prix title won last year by winning their 11 matches in the tournament. The Americans have won the event in 1995, 2001 and 2010, along with consecutive bronze-medal finishes in 2003 and 2004. Akinradewo was named the most valuable player and Best Blocker in last year's edition, while Alisha Glass was selected as Best Setter in her first senior-level FIVB-organized event of her career.
Nine of the 20 players on the World Grand Prix preliminary roster have Olympic Games experience, while 13 of 20 have played in the FIVB World Championships. Scott-Arruda is a four-time Olympian attempting to become the first American volleyball player to compete in five Olympics. Tom and Bown have played in three Olympic Games.

2005 Linux Journal Readers' Choice Awards
Editor's Note: This article has been updated since its original publication..
We overhauled the voting process for this year's Readers' Choice Awards in the hope of creating a fairer system that voters were involved in every step of the way. As such, we accepted nominations from readers in 31 categories and then held two rounds of voting to get this final list of your favorites.
Some readers were surprised by the list of candidates that made it to the final round. For instance, the big-name distributions, such as Debian, Red Hat and SUSE, were nowhere to be found. Although these absences may seem odd, we call these the Readers' Choice awards because they are exactly that—these are the products and tools our readers are using and loving this year.
Here we present the top two vote-getters in each category. In categories where vote totals were particularly close, we have listed the top three finishers.
For the sixth year in a row, XMMS is the first-place finisher in the audio tool category. So you know XMMS plays MP3, OGG, WAV and CD audio file formats. You also probably know that it supports a whole bunch of third-party input plugins. But do you know about its equalizer and playlist capabilities? Do you know about its advanced plugins for file I/O, special effects and visualization? If not, you must have missed Dave Phillips' article on "Getting the Most from XMMS with Plugins" (see the on-line Resources for links to articles), which covered some of the functionality that helps keep this classic tool a favorite.
We split backups into two categories this year to differentiate between simple tools that can back up a single system (see Favorite Backup Utility below) and more complex programs administered centrally to back up multiple machines. Although not as flashy as some other backup systems, Amanda (advanced Maryland automatic disk archiver) offers "a reliable platform for many Linux and UNIX users who are comfortable with a command-line interface", according to Phil Moses, who wrote about it for us in "Open-Source Backups Using Amanda". Apparently, many of our readers agree.
Even though many backup tools are available from vendors, we know that our readers often prefer to stick with the basics. Thus, your favorite backup utilities, tar and rsync, are basic command-line tools that were separated by less than a hundred votes in this year's competition. You can do a lot with tar, from building basic single-file archives to creating multivolume backups. Sometimes, though, the most tried-and-true tools are the ones we take for granted, so to learn more about what you can do with tar and rsync, take a look at these past LJ articles: "The Skinny on Backups and Data Recover, Part 3", "LVM and Removable IDE Drives Backup System" and "rsync, Part I and Part II".
Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, MySQL once again scores the top place in this year's voting. Besides offering more features than ever, MySQL also is being included in more big-name vendor products, thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of LAMP applications. In "An Open Letter to the Community from MySQL Founders David Axmark & Michael 'Monty' Widenius", the founders offered these impressive stats: "over 100 million copies of MySQL have been distributed" through the Web site and operating system distributions; approximately 40,000 new downloads every day; more than 1,500 projects on SourceForge.net are using MySQL; and current users include Craigslist, Slashdot, Wikipedia, Bugzilla, Technorati and the Human Genome Project.
The dot.kde.org site carried a link to the Readers' Choice voting page this year—did the extra promotion to KDE fans make the difference? As detailed below, this year's favorite distribution is GNOME-based while the favorite language is the base language for KDE. People seem to be using the best technologies from both environments.
Ubuntu and Debian help each
Ubuntu and Debian help each other. Ubuntu is more polished than Debian and has a much smaller package set. Debian (unstable) gets packages updated more frequently and has a lot more to choose from.
Regardless of the distribution, this will likely improve support for all Distributions.
I'm agree
I didn't vote, but I'm agree.
PHP is my favourite programming language ;-)
Agree with you, PHP rocks.
Agree with you, PHP rocks.
Programming language.
PHP is the best! But C++ is not too bad...
The same here. Especially
The same here. Especially newest version.
1&1 are providing excellent package compared to what I'm getting from bluehost.com. I wonder about their uptime / reliability.
Not for the large providers
I usually don't like the large web hosters - you are just a number for them, as a small customer we usually all are. If you go to a smaller hoster they might have much more time for you.
XMMS is old and unmaintained, I'm surprised it still was able to garner enough support to take the top spot. I would have thought amaroK would have taken the top spot, with Rhythmbox or Beep Media Player second.
Sure, XMMS2 is in the works, but the 1.2.x series uses GTK1... does anyone even keep GTK1 installed anymore?
Amarok is heavy going for a system, except if you have a 2GHz+ machine. XMMS runs fine even on an old Pentium 200, but Amarok on that same system kills it. XMMS is a good, simple media player with lots of possibilities to extend it, and it works very well, which is why it has maintained its #1 place.
Postgres? It usually takes
Postgres? It usually takes half of my CPU power - doing nothing. I prefer MySQL, its much thinner.
I would hope SQLite makes
I would hope SQLite makes the top list in 2007!
xmms is clearly the best
I've used xmms for three years now, clearly teh best audio player IMHO...
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Pregnancy: After 35 Community
Pregnancy after 35 brings challenges & issues younger women may not experience. ... more
See All
My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
GOOD LUCK!!!! Angie
First, let me say I am not and never have been a smoker. I'm going to respond to you as a concerned fellow pregnant woman and tell you a few stories in hopes it helps give you the strength to quit during your pregnancy.
My father started smoking when he was VERY young... I believe he was in elementary school. He quit when I was in HS and my Mom was going in for surgery for a hysterectomy due to a tumor the size of a 5 month fetus. They were both in their 40's. He promised her as she was entering the surgical area he'd stop and he did COLD TURKEY.
He is now 72, on oxygen 24/7, has asthma, emphysema, barrett's esophagus and a fungus in his lung. Standing almost 6' (he's shrunk a bit with age) he only weighs about 135 pounds. He is on antibiotics more often than not trying to get his lung infection under control or to rid another bout of pneumonia. He is too frail for surgery to remove the fungus... which could turn to cancer at any time. He was misdiagnosed originally and it took 2 years for a proper diagnosis which didn't help. had they caught the fungus instead of insisting it was cancer and completing biopsy after biopsy instead... he wouldn't be in this position. Regardless... he's very ill and it's all due to smoking for at least 30 years.
One of my sister's has asthma. She is the mother of 5. Both of her sons were born with lung problems and she found out after they were born their father smoked heavily (sneaking it) during those years she conceived. Josh had pneumonia a LOT as a baby and both he and Jake have asthma. NONE of her girls have any lung problems and ironically, their father wasn't smoking during their conceptions.
My DBF's Mom passed away about 4 years ago (prior to my meeting him). She was also a heavy smoker, and died of heart disease which was attributed to her smoking. My daughter will never meet her Paternal Grandmother and with my father's health, he can't even be here for her birth.
I have many more stories on the effects of smoking and what it can do to your LO. It is SO important for you to quit. My best recommendation for you is to contact your local government agency in helping you quit. I believe each community has a program for this. You should also speak to your Dr. There is a laser treatment I've heard and seen can be VERY successful. A friend of mine utilized the laser program several years ago and hasn't had a cigarette since. He smoked for about 25 years.
Please don't take this as my being harsh... I'm just being honest. It's so sad to see my father so sick. He was just in the hospital last weekend again. I freak out every time the phone rings and it's a family member because I never know when it's going to be bad news about him.
I wish you the best with this. I know it's hard, but PLEASE think of your baby and do everything you can to quit. Chewing the gum while still smoking is NOT a good idea as you're just adding to the nicotine intake.
Sending you {{{healthy baby}}} {{{be strong}}} {{{quit quick}}} vibes.
and my apologies for having SO much to say. I even kept it short.... !
My DH still chews the gum when he's stressed.
Good luck. You can do it. If he helps, tell yourself that you can have one after the baby is born.
Congratulations! On taking the first step and initiating to know various ways to quit smoking...
I will tell you of how i quit smoking...I was a smoker for almost 3 years and I suffered from many health issues.
Patches and nasal sprays is what I tried to quit cigarettes, But it was not working for me at all.
Then Finally, I consulted my doctor and he recommended me to use Nicorette Gum and Nicorette's 12 Week Nicotine Replacement Therapy...
I thought about it for a week and I decided to take up the 12 Week Nicotine Replacement Therapy and hence I started using it...
But the initial week was very difficult for me...because of the craving, but then since i followed the therapy for the next 12 Weeks it so happened that today I am smoke free....you can stop having gums, what you can do is reduce the no. of gums that you have daily and then completely stop.
Actually you visit for more assistance http://www.nicorette.in/successful-quitting
Pinky[br> [br>
Smoking is bad for your health. Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body. Cigarette smoking causes 87 percent of lung cancer deaths. Stop smoking aids are among the effective techniques that one can use to crush their nicotine addiction. However, as they say, what works for some may not work for everyone. One of the best products that I have ever come across to quit smoking is Nicorette Gum and I believe in that product because today with the help of that I have quit smoking and from past six months I have not got a single craving...
Thanks and Cheers to Nicorette and its Quit smoking Products. http://www.nicorette.in/nicorette/nicorette-gum

No. Stella & Dot is designed to fit any woman's lifestyle, so you may commit as much time as you want to this business. If you choose to build a team, we ask Sponsors to lead by example, and therefore we do require that you submit at least $500 in retail sales in one month at least once every three months, on a rolling basis. If you are unable to meet that minimum, your team will roll to the Next Qualified Leader, but you will still remain a Stylist.
Will I receive any training or marketing support?
Yes! You are not expected to be a salesperson, a computer whiz or even a fashionista to be a Stella & Dot Stylist. We provide the training, tools and support that you need to run a thriving business. You will have one-on-one coaching from your Sponsor and you'll meet other Stylists at monthly team meetings. The Home Office provides weekly training calls and 24x7 online tools. There are regional training events to get hands-on training from local top Stylists. Our national annual conference provides you powerful business training from savvy experts and also a chance to network and view the new collection.
Who works in the Home Office?
Passionate and skilled individuals from all disciplines dedicated to supporting you! Marketing? Manufacturing? Accounting? Inventory Planning? The Home Office has got all that covered so you can just focus on what you love to do best! Plus, you will get to meet us in our weekly coaching and training calls, and through interactive videos and product styling tutorials that are simple and fun. With Stella & Dot you are in business for yourself, not by yourself.
What is the career path beyond personal sales? Do I have to build a team?
You can take your Stella & Dot career as far as you want; the business is flexible and there is no glass ceiling. If you decide that you want to earn more, simply book more Trunk Shows and expand your one-on-one and online sales. Want to grow beyond personal sales? You can bring people onto your team, coach them, and earn up to 18% on their sales. Your best prospective Stylists are your prior Hostesses and customers who have shown an interest in the brand and seen the success you have achieved as a Stylist. When opportunity knocks, let your girlfriends in!
What is the Delight Guarantee?
We want our Stylists and Customers to be happy, which is why we developed customer-friendly policies that surprise and delight at every step.

What does it mean to be a Stylist?
It means that you represent our line of accessories and sell one-on-one in person, through in-home Trunk Shows, and online. You take control and decide when and where to sell and how much time you want to invest in the business. This lets you create a business that fits your life, scaling up or down as you wish.
Can I be successful?
The #1 quality that makes women successful with Stella & Dot is passion. If you love our fabulous accessories and want to build a business that works around your life (instead of the other way around), then this could be the perfect business for you!

Looking for other ways to be involved with Stella & Dot? Shop online or attend a Trunk Show. Or, host a Trunk Show to earn free accessories and get items at 50% off.
How many hours do I need to work?
There is no "need to" at Stella & Dot – only "want to." You decide how much or little you want to spend on your business, based on your schedule and desired income. Some Stylists have outside jobs and only work 5-10 hours a week, while others make Stella & Dot their full-time business. We're flexible so your life can be, too.
How much can I earn?
You decide! Match your efforts to your desired results. You'll love Trunk Shows big and small. Some are a few hundred in sales, others are in the thousands. Stylists earn up to 35% commissions on sales. If you choose to build a team, you can earn up to 18% on your team's sales. This opportunity can provide "fun money" or a six-figure full-time income. Success is defined only by achieving your goals for becoming a Stylist.
How can online sales help me earn even more?
When you join as a Stylist, you will instantly have an online business presence with your own personal website, or eBoutique, where customers can order online. Drive customers directly to your site using our customizable Stylist marketing templates. You can also use Facebook and other social sites to showcase new items, post Trunk Show photos, and keep your customers excited about Stella & Dot. And, when you're on-the-go, you can still sell by easily sharing our Look Book and irresistible style videos, and taking orders on your personal website.
How much do I need to invest?
You can launch your Stella & Dot business for as little as $199. To start, you'll select one of our three Sample Credit Options:
Online and On-The Go
Trunk Show Essentials
Business Builder
View details of each Investment Option
When you sign up as a Stylist, you receive a Business-in-a-Box which includes everything you need to succeed: product credit to choose your samples, business supplies, training and community support and a personal website. Our goal is to help you become profitable as fast as possible with a minimal upfront investment, and make your business simple and fun to fit your busy life!
How do I order samples?
We make sample ordering as easy as 1-2-3. Simply sign up online as a Stylist, then choose from our recommended sample sets or select samples a la carte.
How do I book my first Trunk Shows?
It's easy. You have thousands of dollars in free accessories to give away, so think about who are the lucky debut Hostesses to receive your free accessories? You will start with your "sure things" (mom, sister, best friend) and from there you will learn how to book Trunk Shows at Trunk Shows. We will provide all the necessary training, tools, and materials to help you get started. It's as simple as jotting down names in each of your social circles – such as friends, family, and neighbors – and asking them to host a Trunk Show. They simply provide the house and the friends while you bring your fabulous samples and Look Books and indulge their girlfriends in a casual, fun and no-pressure environment. Customers get styled with our chic and affordable luxury, hostesses earn free accessories, and you earn a commission on sales. Everyone wins!
How do I get paid?
You'll get instant gratification with weekly pay on your own Stella & Dot debit card.
How is Stella & Dot different?
We are a new kind of company – one that lets entrepreneurial women like you style your own life. We design irresistible jewelry and accessories that are sold at home Trunk Shows and online. Over 12,000 active stylists are living the home-based career their mothers never had the chance to have – and loving it. You can, too. We're an Inc. 500 Fastest-Growing Company with a $25 Billion global market opportunity. We welcome you to become part of that growth.
Can you tell me more about your products?
Happy to. Stella & Dot creates luxurious looks that make celebrities and editors swoon, at a price that's within reach of all women. You'll find lustrous gem-stoned necklaces, stackable rings and bangles, yummy leather signature clutches and so much more. Half the line is under $50, making it perfect for updating with new season trends and finding the perfect gift for any occasion or recipient.
Why Trunk Shows?
We are modernizing the home-based business model for today's woman. Trunk Shows give women a hands-on, personalized, social shopping experience. No glass cases. No pushy salespeople. Instead, a Stella & Dot event is a casual, fun, presentation-free way for girlfriends to get together, play with accessories and get advice from Stylists and friends.
What is the company culture like?
In a word: inspiring.
As a company created by and designed for women, supporting each other is just how we do things. We work together to make each other better than when we started. We are in it to make a difference, not only in our own lives, but in the lives of others. While we're all about personal accomplishment, the heart of our business is our connection with each other.

Resident at Ronnie Scott's in London since 2008, international singing sensation Kai Hoffman has "a great ability to sell whatever song she is singing, and put it across with bags of personality... using the richness of her voice to great effect, and also displaying fine pitch and great phrasing... One of the finest vocalists and performers around on the scene today." (Ray Gelato, for London Jazz Blog).
With an "...an insatiable joie de vivre rare in these cynical times" (Stephen Graham, Marlbank), Kai Hoffman's newest album Do It While You Can has received great critical acclaim. "Jazz forgets, all too often, the virtues of the entertaining and the joyful. Hoffman doesn't." (Bruce Lindsay, All About Jazz).
Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, ex-pat Kai is a versatile, sought-after performer at London's finest jazz clubs and festivals around the world, with her mainstream-jazz-based Do It While You Can project and her jump jive & swing band, Kai's Cats, the duet show Hey Boy! Hey Girl! with Ray Gelato & the Giants, and much more. From the Sheraton Hotel in Bangladesh to the Royal Albert Hall in London – with The Blue Note, Milan, Italy, and London's Ronnie Scott's Club, The 606 Club & The 100 Club in between – Kai has developed a truly authentic vocal style, reminiscent of the greatest jazz singers of the 20th Century.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — If past years are any indicator on how this afternoon's game between Gloucester and Masconomet at Hyland Field (2:00 p.m.) will go, expect a dog fight that isn't settled until the game's final minutes.
The Fishermen (1-3) and Chieftains (3-1) have played each other every year since the 2007 season including a pair of postseason clashes and just about every meeting has been highly competitive.
Last year's meeting may have been the most hotly contested and easily Gloucester's most heartbreaking loss of 2011. The Fishermen outplayed the Chieftains but four fumbles, including one in the final minute at the six yard line with Gloucester looking to go in for the winning score, cost Gloucester the game.
The Fishermen, who are hoping to put together a winning streak after last week's 35-7 drubbing of Peabody, will be looking for revenge after the way the 2011 contest ended, and they are also expecting a close game.
"It's always a battle (when we play Masco) and I think that's great, we love the competition we have with them," Gloucester head coach Tony Zerilli said. "It usually comes right down to the wire. We've played each other for a number of years and we each know how to defend each other. It's gonna be a good game."
Saturday's battle will pit strength vs. strength on each side of the ball.
On the defensive end Gloucester will look to stop Masco's two-headed monster rushing attack of Mike Tivinis and Dylan Mann. The Chieftain's love to ride both of their backs out of the I-formation in front of a big and physical offensive line.
The Chieftains', who hold victories over Catholic Memorial, Wilmington and Salem, strength is running the football, and they make no bones about it, but Gloucester's strength on defense is stopping the run. Powered by a big front three featuring a rotation of Drew Shairs, David Dimaio, Anthony Palazzola and Nick Sanfilippo, and a rock solid linebacking core, the Fishermen pride themselves on being tough against any opponents running game.
"They have two good hard runners in Mann and Tivinis and they like to showcase them," Zerilli said. "Our challenge this week on defense is to stop them, foce them into doing something they aren't comfortable doing. They like to line up in the I and run the ball but we defend the run pretty well."
When Gloucester has the ball it will look to a strong running attack to counter Masco's tough run defense. Gloucester has been racking up big yards on the ground this season led by running back Zach Smith, who leads the NEC with 497 yards rushing to go along with four touchdowns. The Fishermen also have multiple options to spell Smith in Mark Horgan, Jon Good and quarterback Santo Parisi.
The Chieftains defense features a big defensive line and a strong group of linebackers, much like the Fishermen defense.
"Their defense is very good and they've had success stopping the wing-t," Zerilli said. "It's going to be a tough matchup, maybe a low scoring matchup."

Expanded KanCare good for area
By SCOTT TAYLOR
As every farmer and rancher knows, agriculture can be a very dangerous business, and when an accident occurs, time and distance from help often make a life-or-death difference. Providing access to emergency and critical care services for the people living in western Kansas is one of St. Catherine Hospital's most important responsibilities, and we take it very seriously.
While St. Catherine has a strong financial position, many of Kansas' other Critical Access Hospitals are struggling to survive. Kansas has the most CAHs of any state, and we all play an essential role in supporting the primary and emergent health care needs of sparsely populated, remote areas. Unlike St. Catherine, most CAHs rely on local taxes to help keep the doors open. Because at least half of the state's CAHs already are losing money and their tax base cannot support more cuts in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, a number of small CAHs are in danger of having to limit services or close.
The Kansas Legislature is considering expanding KanCare, the state's Medicaid program, to take advantage of some $800 million in federal dollars over three years. Medicaid expansion would help preserve locally accessible health care in a large portion of rural Kansas, including Garden City.
An expansion of KanCare would assure that a segment of our population that is currently without health insurance coverage would have improved access to both physician services as well as hospital services, making prevention and primary care a reality for these individuals. For St. Catherine, an expansion of KanCare potentially means that the hospital would receive reimbursement from federal sources for low-income working poor for whom we currently provide and finance care as a ministry of the Catholic Church.
Expanding KanCare coverage would be financed 100 percent by federal dollars for the first three years, and 90 percent after 2016. Kansas should get its fair share of federal dollars set aside for Medicaid expansion.
One of the few private, non-tax supported hospitals in western Kansas, St. Catherine would be able to access additional funds that could be used for jobs and infrastructure to ensure that the hospital can have the best trained staff and recruit the best physicians possible to this market.
When I recruit physicians, one of the first questions they have is, "Will I be able to earn a living in Garden City?" By expanding KanCare coverage to those below 100 percent of poverty, physicians will receive some payment for treating these patients. Increasing the medical funding pool will make it easier to recruit physicians to this part of the state, which benefits all of us.
Health care is a major economic hub in Garden City. Almost half of St. Catherine's patients are from outside Finney County. By providing coverage and expanding KanCare, more dollars will come into this community. Those dollars are multiplied across the area and will have a positive impact on the economy of western Kansas.
Without doubt, KanCare is not a perfect program and could be improved. But this system that we have today does provide significant and necessary funding for a portion of the population that does not earn enough money to be able to afford private health insurance, even with federal subsidies. KanCare offers the potential to deliver the right care at the right time in the right setting, and ultimately reduce costs.
Health care providers want to work with Kansas lawmakers and leaders to develop an even better program with more emphasis on prevention. In the meantime, the federal Medicaid expansion dollars that should come home to Kansas can help us bridge our efforts to improve health for every Kansas citizen.
Access resources and learn more at www.ExpandKanCare.org. I think that expanding KanCare is the financially smart thing as well as the right thing to do for rural and western Kansas. Express your support for expanding KanCare and bringing Kansans' tax dollars back home at www.KHAGrassroots.org.
Scott J. Taylor is president/chief executive officer of St. Catherine Hospital.

Graduate Schools Prepare U.S. Presidential Candidates
A theme among many of the 2012 presidential candidates: a grad school education.
Students may decide to attend a graduate school program for a multitude of reasons: to advance their current careers, to change career paths, or to improve their current financial state, to name a few. For many students, graduate school also helps build leadership skills that can translate to careers in politics.
A graduate school education is one constant among most of the candidates in the 2012 presidential race. Among 11 notable politicians who are currently seeking election, or who have suspended their campaigns, for president as either a Republican or Democrat, eight have received a graduate degree—including five who have received law school degrees. In addition, all four GOP candidates involved in today's Super Tuesday primaries are graduate degree holders.
"Graduate school is an opportunity to reflect on what [students] do and their roles as professionals," says Roger Manus, a professor at the Campbell University School of Law. "We're trying to help people become reflective practitioners. With that sort of consciousness, they're more likely to be effective leaders, at least in the servant leadership role."
[See photos of politicians and find out where they went to graduate school.]
There is arguably no position in the country like the presidency of the United States that requires such a diverse set of skills—including the ability to lead. Although a graduate degree is not an indicator of whether a person can assume the highest office in the country—George H.W. Bush is the most recent president without a graduate degree—the experiences gained in a graduate school setting can motivate a student and may positively impact the trajectory of his or her career.
For President Barack Obama, law school was the place where he "first became a political sensation," notes a 2007 New York Times article. Arriving at Harvard Law School in 1988 as a relatively unknown student, Obama ultimately became the first African-American elected president of the Harvard Law Review—an act that, at the time, propelled him into the national spotlight.
"It's not a coincidence that so many leaders went to law school," says Shauna Marshall, academic dean at the University of California Hastings College of Law. "Between the classroom, the clinical experiences, where they're stepping into the shoes of lawyers, and all the extracurricular activities … I think by the time [students] leave, some of them who have risen to the top in one or many of these arenas are future leaders."
[Find out where Fortune 500 CEOs went to college.]
And while it's not the overwhelming trend among the current and former presidential candidates, a few have attained multiple graduate degrees: Michele Bachmann, a congresswoman from Minnesota, received her J.D. from Oral Roberts University and her LL.M. from the College of William & Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law; former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich received his M.A. and Ph.D. in modern European history from Tulane University; Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, received his J.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University; and Rick Santorum, former senator from Pennsylvania, received his M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh Katz Graduate School of Business and his J.D. from the Dickinson School of Law at Pennsylvania State University.
Below is a table highlighting the graduate school education of eight past or present 2012 presidential candidates:
|Presidential candidate*
|Graduate school
|Michele Bachmann
|Oral Roberts University
College of William & Mary (Marshall-Wythe)
|Herman Cain
|M.S. in computer science
|Purdue University
|Newt Gingrich
|M.A. and Ph.D. in modern European history

|Tim Pawlenty
|University of Minnesota
|Mitt Romney
|J.D. and M.B.A.

*Jon Huntsman, Gary Johnson, and Rick Perry did not receive graduate school degrees.

The old adage tells us that, if it's not broken, don't fix it. And there's absolutely nothing broken about the Massachusetts high school baseball tournament, where the need for more than one or even two good pitchers and other lineup changes regularly produces upsets and, well, a lot of excitement and fun.
Yet the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association — the big-bucks nonprofit corporation that runs our high school tournaments and regularly gets its kicks denying eligibility and opportunities to student-athletes and teams — cannot, as usual, leave well enough alone. Following the model that's created a special elite class of high school hockey teams, the MIAA has gotten schools' approval for a "Super 8" baseball division and is starting a two-year trial in 2014. In doing so, it has — as correspondent Conor Walsh noted in Tuesday's Times Sports section — essentially ensured that no truly magical Cinderella tournament run such as the one that took Gloucester to the 2009 state Final Four may ever happen again.
A Super 8 hockey tournament has a context; year in, year out, many of the same schools — mostly Catholic schools who can recruit across district lines, such as St. John's Prep — have built programs a notch above other schools that can't compete on that level. But in baseball, the dependence of games upon who pitches offers a wider range of schools a chance. And leaving those schools to battle for the honor of being supposedly the ninth-best team in the state doesn't cut it.
By setting up a double-elimination Super 8 division, the MIAA has found a way to run far more tournament games; that means more money for elite schools and the MIAA cronies — just what high school sports are not supposed to be about.
Let's hope smarter heads prevail among the state's schools, and that this absurd move can be overturned. And if not, let's be certain this two-year trial is two and done.
Once again, the MIAA has found a way to "fix" something by denying the vast majority of kids the chance to compete for a true state championship. That's par for the course, but doesn't make it acceptable.

Bland McDance...I love it. Sorry kwanfan1818, TPTB wouldn't allow me to give you any more rep for awhile.....
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
Wow - they showed us an entire ballroom audition- and it was great. I was mesmerised by him, and my husband was by her (Misha?). I never catch the dancer's names at this stage.
"You emerge victorious from the maze you've been travelling in." Oct 21,2012- Best Fortune Cookie Ever!
Really nice that they're pretty much only showing us good auditions now, even though I'm still irritated by the stupid audience reaction shots during the dances.
Ballroom couple was great! But he seemed a lot better to me than she was - sharper, faster, more attack - of course, she is a hot mamacita so gets the tongue bathing
I was prepared to be about the daughter of the jazz singers who's looking to get into "the industry". But she was fantastic! Her solo incorporated a lot of the moves we've seen from way too many contemporary dancers, but she performed them as if they meant something more than "look at me! look at my extension! give me a prize!", which is the hallmark of all those interchangeable competition barbies.
The guy who danced to the Zoe Keating music was also amazing
Glad sever stutter guy got through - loved when Nigel was all "I'm going to make you talk a lot and we won't interrupt you" and he was "PLEASE finish my sentences so I don't have to flail up here!!!". I wonder if they told him he couldn't tap or use other techniques that he talked about beforehand while he was up there to ease the stutter.
What was with Family Week? And was anyone else surprised by some of the dancers who got tickets straight to Vegas? There was a white contemporary dancer - I think the guy with the sparkly pants who wanted Austin to represent a little freakier - who made me miss what the show used to be...dancers who weren't already completely pro level, but who had great potential...but I thought no way, he would be lucky to get to the choreo round, and he got a ticket! Also, the son of the dance studio family - son was good but not quite there, and his dad totally pwned him in the dance off. Get dad on the show!!
But what can I say, I fell for the shameless heartstring-pulling stunt of having a family of Exorcists on stage I noticed after Mama Exorcist got onstage that she was also wearing a #, and thought, clearly Exorcist is getting through but it would be mean to show all this and not send her too. So, even though that was in no way an actual audition, I approve of sending the whole family. Cause sometimes I need something to counteract my grinchy cynicism
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
Bland McDance and the Competition Barbies. Excellent name for a ....movie? Straight to video.
And thanks, Rob....
I haven't finished watching the whole thing, but I thought the latin dancers were great. The ballet guy from Orlando Ballet? Not so great. Eek, the guy with the dislocating arms - he is going to be so sorry he did that when he is older - I used to be able to jump rope with my arms, and they'd come out of socket with no pain, and now at 52, it hurts to sleep on them and it is hard to lift my arm over my head.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
I'm glad I watched DWTS last night and missed the "Exorcists"!
AceOn6, the golf loving skating fan
Really enjoyed the flexer, in general I love bone breaks, tutting and flexing, but on the other hand many of these dancers want to claim credit for innovating these moves when in reality they have been used in contortion for who knows how long and also in New Way Vogue as well. Still wonderfully talented and I love popping my shoulders out myself so I can't blame them.
I just watched my tape today. Exorcist guy made me tear up and cry again, and they really didn't even focus on him as much as they did the child and the 3 of them! I generally don't like that kind of movement and dancing so how the hell does he do that to me?! I still remember him from last time and the same thing happened.
And what was the name of that song he used if anyone remembers?
I really wish they would cut out the audience reaction shots during the auditions. They seem completely fake...
^^agreed, not to mention it feels like you see just as much audience & judges shots as you do the dancing & it's starting to drive me crazy!
There were several good auditions last night.
Too bad that Enoch -- sad story aside -- couldn't get through choreography.
I thought that might have been the case, also.I think he may have been invited just to present that work dedicated to his cousin.
Honestly I don't even think his original audition was good. Emotional, yes but not good. He has had plenty of time to take classes and get to be an all around better dancer. it seems he didn't. Too bad. I would love to see him back and triumph. There does seem to be a lot of exceptional talent this year. Some of the people though are being chosen for their stories and or their telegenic quality.
I thought that bitchy guy coming back was interesting. Personally I think he deserved to go through to Vegas. But he should have done the choreo. But I also get why he was pissed based on their comments. I know the judges want to see how he can work with others but they could also see that in Vegas and send him home then. I know he is a brat but I kind of get why he was taking a stand for himself. And he may have behaved better if he was sent to Vegas and turned it around. I doubt it but I think part of his attitude was based on being rejected and being called "un-masculine" in the first place. Which is pretty fricken insulting even if it is true. He did try and improve. But guy needs to get to therapy and figure out why he needs to prove himself to the world and be individual at the expense of his career. Dance is about partnership and working with others.
I wish I could get into the ballroom stuff more but it just seems so fake or "performed teeth and tits" to me a lot of the time. That guy that took his shirt off was pretty hot. Blonde girl was good but kind of left me cold. I liked Salsa girl but I think she has a ways to go yet. But I felt her as more authentic in her expression. Her body is to die for. And I would love to see her brother back. What a sweetie.
I wish Nigel would shut up during the performances.
