After all this time, he's not sure if he read Lance Armstrong's book before his kidney was taken out or after, before the cancer spread to his lungs or later, before his doctors said to get his papers in order or not.
"I just remember admiring his story,'' he said. "It helped to hear it."
Everyone knows someone close with cancer. My father, who beat cancer in way doctors can't explain, is on the phone. At some point during his fight, I sent him Armstrong's book, "It's Not About The Bike: My Journey Back to Life."
It's a human, heartfelt story of Armstrong's fight with cancer. It's part of the debate now that Armstrong is expected to step forward to confess to his cheating in cycling.
"It changes what the book was about some,'' my father said. "The book doesn't tell the whole story. But no one's perfect. I don't follow cycling. I followed his story of cancer."
This is an uncomfortable time for sports. Blood doping and performance-enhancing drugs are in the news. It's not just Armstrong. No player was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday despite perhaps the richest class in history.
No Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens. No Rafael Palmeiro, Jeff Bagwell or Sammy Sosa. They're Hall of Famers by any statistical measure. But their numbers are bloated by suspicions — and confirmation, in Palmeiro's case — of performance-enhancing drugs.
So this week is about the response to players who cheated their game. There's disapproval. There's unease. There's equal and opposite accusations of sanctimoniousness against those judging Armstrong, Bonds and Clemens.
But there's also this confirmation of upholding standards of what's acceptable in sports. It's why Hall of Fame voters closed the door to suspected steroid users. It's why Armstrong, banned from cycling, agreed to a controlled setting of an interview with Oprah on cheating.
Unfair? What's unfair, in retrospect, was Armstrong's verbal bullying and strong-arm attacks on officials, competitors, teammates and media members as he won seven Tour de France titles.
Unfortunate? That's the word Players Association Executive Director Michael Weiner labeled the voting — "unfortunate, if not sad,'' he said. And you can see that.
What would be equally unfortunate if the Steroid Six were voted into the Hall is symbolized by Fred McGriff. He hit 493 home runs. He played 18 years. He didn't have a whiff of steroid use around him.
The McGriffs of that era, in effect, then would be penalized by not taking steroids, not hitting 500 home runs and not getting a hall pass into the Hall. My ballot read: Craig Biggio, Tim Raines, Curt Schilling, Mike Piazza and Larry Walker.
It's all a mess wrapped in a riddle that maybe time will solve. Maybe, by confessing, Armstrong gets the lifetime ban lifted against him in cycling. Maybe, over time, all of us sort out their thoughts on steroids and the Hall more.
"After what has been written and said over the last few years, I'm not overly surprised,'' Clemens said via Twitter of not making the Hall.
Nobody was surprised. This week was a referendum on drugs in sports. And the bottom line is most people still feel there are standards to be upheld when it comes to them.
The international cycling officials directed how people should act by banning anyone involved in illegal performance enhancement. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has remained characteristically mute through the Hall voting.
Selig could ban anyone who tested positive for steroids from the Hall's ballot in the manner Pete Rose is banned for betting. He's happy to keep his desk clean and let the voters settle it.
Cycling isn't baseball in America, and beating cancer isn't beating the Dodgers. So Armstrong isn't Bonds or Clemens.
"His story helped me,'' my father says of Armstrong.
That's the human element to his story. This conversation will go on. Armstrong's words will be watched. And the Hall of Fame voting? In 1950, no players were elected to the Hall of Fame. In coming years, 45 of those on tht 1950 ballot were.

ALBANY, N.Y. - A local pastor tells NEWS10 a thief has stolen musical instruments his young parishioners played in their Sunday services.
Evan Majors is the pastor at the Power House City of Deliverance Church on Sheridan Avenue. Pastor Majors says he and other parishioners returned from a church-sponsored excursion Sunday night to find that all the musical instruments and the sound system was missing.
Pastor Majors says he did not have rental insurance, and the loss adds up to about $20,000.
"What am I going to do next? I am hoping they will have a change of heart and they will either bring it back, or that somebody's heart will be touched to donate," Pastor Majors says. "It's not what we had, but it's something to get us started back on into helping he community."
Albany Police are investigating the theft. They say there is no evidence of forced entry.
Pastor Majors says he believes someone may have hidden inside the second-floor sanctuary, waiting for the church to close after Sunday services and then stole the items.

Review: Tossaball® Hybrid 2.45" Ultra Suede Soft Juggle Ball
I've been the happy owner of half a dozen Hybrid 2.45" soft balls. They are proving to be as awesome as anticipated, and that's QUITE AWESOME. I love the combination of a little "extra" weight and the smaller, loosely filled ball. It settles into the hand perfectly. As one of my juggling workmates astutely summed up, "They want to be caught."

The Behmor home coffee roaster is a simple, easy to use unit with a smoke reduction feature that makes it a pleasure to use indoors. Even when roasting 3/4 of a pound.
This roaster makes perfect sense for those who want to roast their own coffee once a week, or those who roast coffee for the office, for family, or for gift-giving. It has pre-programmed roast times, heat curves, and an automatic cooling cycle.
Best of all, it brings the drum-style coffee roaster down to a more affordable level; at $299 it is nearly half the cost of all other drum coffee roasters on the market.
The Behmor roaster has a strong feature set, but it's not without its quirks. We have composed a thorough extended review of the machine, with data compiled from months of testing the pre-production model of the roaster. We encourage you to read our review, scan for relevant parts, or at the minimum read our summary comments. Perhaps it seems odd, but we are rather critical of our products, since the goal is to match the right machine to the right person.
The Behmor is rated at 120v. If you live in a country with 220v oulets, using an adaptor won't work.
Behmors are tested before they leave the factory so if you see a little discoloration of the grill protecting the heating elements of your brand new roaster, it's a good thing.

House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer told CNBC on Friday that avoiding the "fiscal cliff" should still be the focus, but Speaker John Boehner has to realize that he can't pursue partisan solutions.
"Boehner has to come to grips with the fact that he can't do it in a partisan fashion through the House of Representatives," the Maryland congressman Hoyer told "Squawk Box."
The partisan route failed last night, Hoyer said, when Boehner was forced to pull his "Plan B" bill because it didn't have the support to pass. Soon after the scrapped vote, the House recessed until after Christmas.
Hoyer still thinks the speaker and President Barack Obama can reach an agreement to prevent the "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax increases and spending cuts in the new year.
"If we're going to go forward, we have to do it on a bipartisan basis," and Hoyer added that he's willing to work with House Republicans to achieve that goal.

Having 1 or More of 4 Risk Factors Increases Risk of Coronary Death 95%Posted: Tuesday, November 18, 2003
Dr. Philip Greenland of Northwestern University, Chicago, and his associates reviewed three prospective cohort studies involving nearly 387,000 subjects. At least one of the four risk factors was present in 87%-100% of subjects who developed CHD. The results were consistent across a broad age range, in all races, and in both genders (JAMA 290[7]:891-97, 2003).
Dr. Umesh N. Khot of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and his associates reviewed data from 14 randomized clinical trials. Only 10%-15% of CHD patients aged 55 and older lacked all four major risk factors. Again the results were consistent despite differences in subjects' gender, age, race, and geographic region. In essence, patients without conventional risk factors are unlikely to develop CHD, they said (JAMA 290[7]:898-904, 2003).
The studies, which review findings on over half a million CHD patients, effectively debunk the myth that half of coronary disease strikes out of a clear blue sky, and the findings are likely to have enormous public health implications, Dr. John G. Canto and Dr. Ami E. Iskandrian said in an editorial (JAMA 290[7]:947-49, 2003). Remarkably, these findings perhaps underestimate the true extent of this phenomenon, especially given the self-report design of [some of the reviewed studies] and the fact that a number of patients were likely unaware of or not diagnosed as having risk factors at the time of evaluation.

The darkest roast on the planet. We begin with a quintessential Costa Rican coffee that can stand up to the heat and intensity of a French Roast. Caramelized sugars, a hint of chocolate and a deeply smoky flavor that attests to the heat of the roast characterize this intensely flavorful coffee.

As I stated in my previous review, this is great coffee. However, I don't grind my own coffee and the ground 2lb. bag is no longer available. Too bad.

It is the best!
By Jeff in Georgia
from Marietta, Georgia
My wife and I like a good stout cup of coffee. We have tried many store blends, but none compare with French Roast. We do not grind our own beans and the 2lb bag of ground coffee works for us perfectly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best French Roast!!
By Gingersmom1961
from Eugene, OR
I have been addicted to French roast coffee for 30 years. I used to drink other roasts but I always came back to French. Anyway, a month ago I ran into your brand and by far it is the best!!! I mean I've had every brand including local San Francisco coffees. The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf brand is the best of all of them. It is bright and lively on the tongue and makes you say "ahh!" in the morning. Keep up the good work!!

TAIL. The continuation of the vertebrae of the back hanging loose behind. The horse's tail has undergone various modifications according to the fashion of the day, from the dock or stump of " lang syne," to the brushy half-lengths of the present : these, indeed, are the most rational and becoming, if any species of mutilation can be supposed to add to beauty.

And her little sister: Lulu Pie (3/21/09)
"Don't toush da mango"
One-handed typer Extraordinaire!
My body creates, houses, nurtures and nourishes life. That is awesome.
Kegel Kop says: TIGHTEN UP!
Okay, so this is my advice.
Find a nutritionist that deals with infants and toddlers and that is knowledgeable on breast feeding (screen them before you bring the dh) Babies NEED to have about 40 grams of fat per day for brain development at that age. That is almost impossible to do at the 12 month mark since most babies are still dabbling in solid foods. Rice milk does not provide fat or enough protein. Not to mention bf babies are smarter. So, tell your dh that maybe that will get him some scholarships. Rice milk is just not going to cut it. If your lo is allergic to soy, then you will have to do neocate or something similar, which is EXTREMELY expensive. So, do your research, find out how many fat grams is in breastmilk, rice milk (which is not enough) and neocate. Maybe that will help if he sees it will cost literally hundreds of dollars a month.
Also, maybe just tell him that your ds needs to nurse until you can be certain that he is getting the proper nutrition through his foods. FWIW, my ds weaned between 21 and 22 months, and he has never drank cow's milk or soy milk (or rice milk) for nutrition. However, he was eating enough fats. I think 18 months may be a more realistic goal for weaning in order to get his dietary needs met through food.
I personally wouldn't proclaim "I am nursing him until he is 2". That's a long way away and to your dh, right now, it probably seems like at age 2 is forever. Time goes by quickly.
I think it is very admirable that you are fighting for your son on this one.
FWIW, my inlaws were the same. my sil bf her first two for 3-5 months, which was an 'admirable sacrifice'. She nursed her third, who had allergies, until he was 10 months, which you would have thought, according to her, would have won her the nobel peace prize. My mil thought she was nuts to do such a thing. In fact, my inlaws were just here at Christmas, and mil announced that 'they' now recommend only nursing for 3 months, after that, it's not good for the baby. I won't get into all the dirty details, but in summary, she didn't speak to me or look at me for at least an hour after my tangent
I tend to be pretty easy going, and just go with the flow. This is one of those things where I will not back down. Once DH finally got that, he's backed off.
He likes to give me hell about it every once in awhile, he gets the eye and we leave it at that.
Stick around here, we'll help ya with the eye part!!
weaned with love by the Gman
Remembering my
Breastfeeding is an instinctual and natural act, but it is also an art that is learned day by day.
Would DS even drink much rice milk after BM? I mean yuck! LOL
You need a different allergist ASAP! Have you tried doing some reasearch online but respected doctors/institutions and printing the info for DH and your MIL? The AAP recommends BF for AT LEAST a year and for as long after as is desirable. WHO recommends AT LEAST two years and in the case of severe allergies, the benefits of BF are vital. Not to mention all the health benefits to you!
I don't know what I would do if DH weren't on board with me on BF. This is my second marriage and my ex was all on board with my convictions because I was doing all the work and it made him look good (LOL)...ok well he was BF for a while so I guess he thought it was good. I went into this marriage with clear intentions with a goal to BF for at least two years if we had a baby (and we did). Even so, we were challenged with weight gain issues and a dip in supply and doctors were pushing for bottlefeeding (grrr). He has just tried to be supportive. I don't know how it would be if it had been an evolution in my feelings about BF.
Could it be that DH is feeling jealous that he doesn't have the same to offer or that he is resentful that he doesn't have you all to himself? He may just feel like he wants more control. I would be willing to bet that he feels it is too sexual, may be worth having a conversation about the reason women have breasts...I wish I had good advice. In your shoes I would try to tell him that you understand that he is listening to this doctor, but evidence suggests you should continue and show it and try to be civil, and if that doesn't work I would tell him to stuff it and how dare you try and dictate an end to something that is agreeable and beneficial to both you and DS. I don't know his personality; that may be the wrong approach, but we live in a society where men can no longer just pass down edicts and expect women to just obey. He has to expect that you may come back with the same force when LOADS of evidence supports you; all he has is his mother and a doctor.
Hmmm, on the milk at MIL's...pretty subversive. I would tell her he knows where the good stuff comes from and try to limit how much cereal you send (which obviously won't work if she buys some). But at least it isn't every day. Grrr to the MILs that seem jealous of mama.
I am interested to see how this works out for you. Sending you good vibes!
This makes me so mad! You are not a child and therefore DH doesn't get to mandate what you do, simple as that. However I do understand that LO is the child of both of you, but I know this may not be politically correct to say, but we've always had a subtle understanding that in the end my ideas/wants were the tie breaker when DS was a baby or when it involves my body, How does it even effect him?
I have to tell you that this issue would be a deal breaker for me, I am not willing to compromise the health or safety of my child for the whims of my husband or MIL! Especially since as you say your DH doesn't do any research on the subject.
I would also say please get a second opinion, rice milk at 10 mos instead of BM or formula is NOT sufficient for proper development.

Thanks for all the wonderful advice. I think I'm going to try the approach of just not saying anything. Just to continue what we're doing, because, you're right that he can't just pull my breast away.
I just sent an email to DH's cousin. She too has a son with food allergies. She stopped nursing when he was 8 months old due to pressure from family and friends. She still gets choked up about it when she thinks about what she took away from him. She's also very outspoken and I think she can knock some sense into my DH. Other than her, we don't know anyone else who breastfed longer than a few months, if at all.
I honestly don't know why he doesn't want me breastfeeding. He's never really given me a straight answer except for the ignorant "I wasn't breastfed, and I'm fine" type of comments.
I even showed DH the side of the rice milk carton where it says "Not to be used as an infant formula. For children under 5, consult a doctor." His idiotic response was "a doctor told us to use it."

Currently milk, peach, peanut and tree nut free. DD has outgrown her wheat, cheese, egg, garlic, and citrus allergies
So I asked him why he doesn't want me nursing once DS turns 1 and he said that he thinks it's weird. He thinks that he'll be too old for it and people will think it's gross. I didn't respond to him, I just asked and told him that I wouldn't argue with his reasons. I just wanted to know why he felt that way. So that's his official answer.
I'm just going to keep up with it and deal with it as he brings it up. If I stop nursing only because DH wants me to, I'm going to be resentful. And I'm going to feel awful feeding him rice milk knowing that I could be doing so much better for him.

First day we lost one kid and was a bit worried. Then when we teamed them up together, it worked great. Just have a time and place to check in. We let them go. We tried walkie talkies, but the noise level with the roller coasters, water ride, etc. was too high to be able to do much with walkie talkies, unless other one was listening for you to check in. Worked out very well for a day with the young kids or teenagers.
Also had midway type games and every game had a winner. Saw kids all over, including ours, with bags of stuffed animals. Our grandson had a bunch for his girlfriends back home. No one left without one and at little overall expense. We just gave everyone $3 or $4 and they came back with 3 or 4 animals. That is one place where game of chance is in the player's favor. Adults didn't do so well at the slot machines as they dropped in money as they passed by.

Exploring American Indians Creative Words Story Starters 8.00
Product Description
Do your children "balk" at the thought of writing paragraphs? Do they dislike writing or coming up with something to write about? A Journey Through Learning has come up with a great solution-Creative Words Story Starters! We will give your child a list of words to help get their "creative" juices flowing. Many times it is not that your child can not write it is that they don't know what to write about. Also, many kids struggle with the spelling of new words. This, too, can slow down or even discourage them from writing. Using our cards takes away that fear!
So, how do you use Creative Words Story Starters? On each card, let your child draw a picture or glue a picture in the box to represent the word on the card. On the lines, define the word. This is a great way to learn how to use a dictionary and a thesaurus. Now, they have a visual of the word and the meaning of the word. To take this step even further, let them use the cards as a "story board" to lay out their story before actually having to write it down on paper. This gives them more confidence in their ability to be able to write an entire paper. Children can get overwhelmed very easily. Breaking this down into cards that they can use just seems like a very natural step.
Next, they can use the "Amazing Adjective" booklet to write down words that describe the words they will use in their story. This booklet needs to be laminated so that it can be used over and over! Laminating with clear contact paper or with a page protector will also work if a laminating machine is not handy.
Once they have the Creative Words Story Starters and listed their amazing adjectives, they can then use the decorative notebooking pages to write their story. Each topic has three notebooking pages.
Using these easy tools, your child will be writing wonderful stories in no time!
Fold your file folder according to the directions on the next page. Make your pockets and glue them into a file folder. Store your cards in the pockets when not using. You may also glue your pockets in a notebook instead of a file folder. We have included a placement key for the pockets so that you will know where to glue them in your folder. If you don't want to use the pockets, that's okay. Store the cards in baggies, making sure to label each baggie. See sample pages above.

- Technology
At Simms, sun protection is a critical component of our sportswear offering. Through a combination of fabric construction, design and finish, we offer a wide range of clothing that features a minimum UPF of 30 (very good) up to UPF of 50 (excellent). UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and indicates how much of the sun's UV radiation is absorbed. A fabric with a rating of 30 will allow only 1/30th of the sun's UV rays to pass through. This means the fabric will reduce your skin's UV radiation exposure significantly. All of our UPF finishes last the life of the garment, an industry standard of 30 washings.

- One of my favorite pieces Review by Jason
OverallThis hoody is in my pack about nine months out of the year. In Nevada we don't need much by way of rain gear, but it can drop 50 degrees in any given day between pre-dawn and mid-day. This little guy is a perfect piece for about 80% of the temp drops that we see. The Windstopper is obviously better for those blustery conditions, but this makes a great affordable option and I can't say I use any of my other Simms gear (excpet my waders) as much as I do this hoody. Great product!

- Great product.....Own 2 Review by midwestflybum
OverallThis jacket has been great for ice fishing and outstanding for steelhead fishing the north shores of Minnesota. This is the second hoodie I own because of the protection from the elements while fishing and also a nice casual jacket for a night out. Thank you Simms for an outstanding product.

- favorite jacket Review by Craig
OverallThis is my first Simms product, i love hoodies and saw this and had to have one. the fit is good i am 6' 4" and have a long reach the large fits decent. I steelhead in Washington and have taken this jacket on two trips so far and it works great. the first trip was cold and rainy bank fishing it shedded water like no business. the second trip was on a drift boat and it was just simply cold no rain but it was freezing and i stayed completely warm. material works great in the wind. its also a daily wear for me, to work out on the town, its a great jacket would recommend to anybody.

OverallThis Jacket is Incredible! Way under priced for the "awesomeness" of this jacket. $100 gets you a DWR shell with "WindStopper"(No WindStopper technology but it sure helps keep the wind off you!). The camo pattern is perfect coloring and hue. Can't go wrong with this jacket! Great product Simms! Thanks!

- Great Hoodie Review by tyreeum
OverallThis hoodie is fantastic. Great sleeve length and fit. It does fit a bit on the larger side (as many other reviews have mentioned) but that was ok with me as I typically have a layer or two under it. I got caught in a bit of rain last week and it kept me dry as well. Great product!

- Comfy but a bit big.... Review by bowhuntermac
OverallNice looking warm jacket for the days where there is a nip in the air, but it is a bit on the large size. I generally wear a 2x in everything,even other Simms jackets, but I wish I had read the above review about sizing before purchasing. It is big to the point that I rarely wear it as the arms are waaaaaay long and the hemline comes down past my rear. Great jacket, but order a size smaller than you normally would.
(Posted on 7/17/12)
- Awesome Review by Andrew Malek
OverallIve seen this hoody on this site for a long time before I finally bought it in Bozeman, MT. I searched every store but all everyone had was the camo one. Finally I went to the Bozeman Angler and they personally went down to the Simms outlet and got me a coal one for me, Awesome service! So after i picked it up and we hit the Gallatin and tryed it out. Its warm, light weight, unrestrictive, water resistant, and looks amazing! So if your like me and look at something for months before getting it, just go out and buy it now and you will not be disappointed!

Despite the improvement in the overall jobs picture in the U.S— non-farm payrolls grew by 195,000 in June—employment in American manufacturing is still bleak, as the sector lost jobs for the fourth month in a row.
According to the Bureau of Labor, the manufacturing sector lost 6,000 jobs in June.
That follows the loss of 8,000 manufacturing jobs in May and 9,000 in April. March had a loss of 4,000 manufacturing jobs.
"The economy is producing jobs, but they are, generally-speaking, lousy ones," said Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, in a press release Friday.
(Read more: Top US States for New Manufacturing Jobs)
"Goods-producing, family-supporting industries like manufacturing are falling behind," Paul said.
"Manufacturing jobs are important to the economy but they're never going to be what they once were," said Tony Cherin, a finance professor at San Diego State University.
There are some 12 million manufacturing jobs on record in the United States. And since January of 2010, the United States has added 520,000 manufacturing jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
But overall, manufacturing has lost a net 21,000 jobs since its last peak this February when the sector gained some 14,000 jobs, according to figures from the BLS.
Comeback Stalled
"We've stalled when it comes to manufacturing job growth," said Chad Moutray, chief economist at the National Association of Manufacturers. "This has fed a lot of doubt as to whether American manufacturing is making a comeback."
The U.S. has a long way to go when it comes to ramping up manufacturing jobs.
A report released last year by Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF) said that manufacturing in the U.S. declined more in the last decade than it did in the Great Depression.
The ITIF says that translates into some 5.7 million lost jobs in manufacturing—at an "average loss of 1,276 manufacturing jobs every day for the past 12 years."
(Read more: Strong Jobs Report is Gold's Nightmare)
In fact, in January 2012 there were more unemployed Americans (12.8 million) than there were Americans who worked in manufacturing (just under 12 million), the ITIF said.
And even as manufacturing activity grew in June—and recovering from an unexpected slowdown jn May—hiring in the sector was the weakest in nearly four years, according to the Institute for Supply Management.
During his 2012 campaign, President Obama set a goal of creating one million new manufacturing jobs in his second term. Starting on February of this year, according to the the AAM, that would require adding an average monthly increase of 20,833 manufacturing jobs, over the course of 48 months.
However, with the current losses, the figure has risen to 23,000 jobs created every month over the next 48 months, said the AAM.
Manufacturing supports an estimated 17.2 million jobs in the United States—about one in six private-sector jobs, according to the National Association of Manufacturers.
To increase the number, some industry experts, like Scott Paul and Chad Moutray, have called on the president to be more aggressive with trade deals to promote exports of American goods, while also calling on Obama for more investment in U.S. infrastructure—as well as cutting taxes to increase consumer spending.
But getting the sector anywhere near where it once was is very unlikely, said Cherin of San Diego State. It will be difficult just preventing it from falling even more, he said.
(Read more: Jobs Report Shows Good News Can Be Bad for Stocks After all)
"We have some areas where it might do well, like in high tech areas of aircraft and electronics, if we keep working to improve them, and keep them up to date." Cherin argued.
"But we are never going to see manufacturing in this country like it was," he said.
"We've become a more service and information industry economy, and while manufacturing is still important, it doesn't carry the weight it once did," Cherin said.

Chapter 2 – All the colors you want
Night time wasn't easy on David, as he laid under the covers with Penelope, his mind endlessly on the same topic. 'What am I going to do with him?' David thought. 'Maybe Penelope is right, maybe he belongs in a home or something'.
Down the hallway Jasdero's mind was much like his brothers, racing with thoughts, not the same thoughts, but thoughts. Jasdero was staring out of the window as he had already forgotten about David's concerns from earlier, in the
middle of night he's attention was focused on watching the snow fall. Much like himself his 'friends' were awake too. "I wonder if David will let me play outside tomorrow, I hope the snow is sticky enough to make a snowman!
Hehe…" he added. Yawning loudly and causing a great sense of fatigue to overcome his body. "I don't care if you guys stay awake, but why do you gotta make me an insomniac?" Jasdero cursed the voices.
Hours passed by and Jasdero didn't fall asleep, he attempt to, but stopped by a so called 'friend' of his. Always a simple phrase would be uttered into his ear to wake his brain, and stimulate every lobe. Among the confusion and mild
hysteria caused by a lack of slumber, Jasdero had started to daydream about years before his grim diagnosis.
I was seventeen, I remember sitting in my math class still learning sixth grade algebra, my mind nowhere focused on the numbers marked on the white-board, more on the pearl paper lined with several blue horizontal lines, and a
bold red one going down the paper vertically. About nine other people the class, not including the poor teacher that had to put up with us. I never said much, it kept me out of any social groups, as sad as it sounds, thinking back; it
was probably the best for me.
Jasdero didn't like it when his psyche reminded him of high school years, something time refused to eat. Not the memories of awkward adolescent times, but the face of relatives and small frivolously things, and happy days that faded
into oblivion. Of course time couldn't be blamed for all the dementia like symptoms, a person's memory can fade, much like their sadness or happiness, it brings about new feelings, but Jasdero would never accept that. Before the
disease Jasdero blamed not paying attention to detail, which would always fail him when it came to school related assignments. The truth with school that is, was that he was slow, very slow. At the age of sixteen his reading level had
matched one of a seventh grader, he had failed to learn simple algebraic expressions in the ninth grade, and took twice as long to learn given material than the other students in his class. That was with school, and when diagnosed with
schizophrenia he soon which his excuse from a lack knowledge, to it being the disease fault, till the destruction of his brain was too far gone for him to blame anything on his forgetfulness. His hand enclosed on the pillow case as he
attempted to fall asleep again.
Ten thirty in the morning, Penelope and David were down stairs very much awake, as for Jasdero, he was still resting from the night before. Penelope sat at the dining room table, waiting for David to finish cooking her early lunch.
"So is that brother of yours awake?" She asked her question laced with slight irritation. "He kept waking me up all last night; it's not good for the baby for me to be waking up all though the night." She added.
"He can't help it," David defended his brother.
"Then what can he help? Look sleeping isn't that hard, all a person was to do is relax and fall asleep, I mean I knew he was retarded but…" Her voice stopped as David scolded her with his facial expressions.
"Don't call him that, you know that hurts his feelings, and it's not very nice." David reminded his lover. Penelope turned away from him, being the spoiled brat that she was, she didn't like to take such a social punishment from David.
"God I need a smoke…" She uttered starting to tap her lengthy and expensive press ons against the wood table.
"You know it's not good for the baby, and it's not good for you either." David again preached. Penelope grinned
"I didn't know you were my Dad." She replied. David grinned with her.
"No, I just work for him." David answered. The way he responded to Penelope had turned her cheeks rosy and peach; the way he uttered those words had sounded so seductive to her.
"David." She spoke.
"Yes dear, your food is almost done." His voice loud and compliant,
"Can you come over here?" She asked. Without any clue of what she was up to, David did what she asked of him. "Can you sit down?" Again he did what he was asked of.
"Something wrong?" David inquired just before a long bewitching kiss was placed upon his lips. Now his own cherry tinted face was high on varies chemicals flowing throughout the veins buried deep within his brain. His hand
formed around Penelope's as they shared another kiss before he went back to cooking her lunch.
In his room Jasdero was playing with the voices in his head, knowing well that he wasn't leaving his room at all today. I-spy was the main game they played, one because of how quiet Jasdero could before he wouldn't not bother
Penelope, two because of how forgetful Jasdero was the game could never become old, and three because it was simple.
"I-spy something, purple!" The voices would try to guess what he was seeing "Nope! Try again!" Another guess "Nope, your wrong, but you were really close!" His giggling could be heard from the hallway. As he continued to play,
David stood outside his door overhearing his brother's voice. "I hope David takes me outside today, I know it probably won't happen…" Jasdero took a deep breath. "I haven't seen him all day today, I wonder what Penelope has him doing for her now?" An injection of anger was added to his voice at the last sentence he spoke. Now knowing that Jasdero was truly lonely David felt the strings on his heart being pulled.
"Hey Jasdero…" David called for his brother's attention as he entered his room. "It stopped snowing, do you want to maybe go outside and make a snowman?" David proposal bought delight to Jasdero expressed with a smile, and him
digging out his winter jacket from the pile of clothes in his closet.
The light weight spots of crystallized water floated downward as Jasdero finished make his snowman. Picket white fencing didn't allow anyone to actually see the childish sculpture Jasdero created, but nonetheless Jasdero was still
proud of it.
"Can we color it?" Jasdero questioned with such a innocent and oblivious manner. David who was finishing up the smaller details, such as the rock buttons and eyes let a light sigh of angst escape from his mind.
"Hold on." He uttered as he rammed a deep orangey carrot into the center of the snowman's face. Turning towards his brother almost buzzing with excitement brother, "Do you think I could leave you here well I go get the food
coloring from the house?" David explained, Jasdero head bobbing up and down. Waiting for his brother seemed to be a hard task to complete; Penelope normally didn't like Jasdero being outside of the house.
David we can't just have him running around the streets here! What would the neighbor think!
Penelope would shout.
Jasdero could never understand what the problem was in the winter why he couldn't be outside in the backyard that was gated with a privacy fence as tall as him. He knew that Penelope was embarrassed by him in more ways than one,
but never would a neighbor he thought would see him, well at least he thought. A rubber ball hitting the back of Jasdero head had caught the blond off guard. With the pastel baby blue poka-dot pink under his arm, Jasdero was able to
climb the fence so that he could look over to see who threw the ball.
"Excuse me mister, can I have my ball back?" The cutesy voice of a young girl caught Jasdero of guard; make him lose his grab on the fence. Re-climbing the fence his grip better than before, "I'm sorry that my ball fell into your
yard!" the girl continued to apologize. Without warning Jasdero feel from the fence back into his own yard. Then surprising the little girl with the ball being thrown back into her yard, Jasdero soon re-climbed the fence. The girls smile
enlarged his heart, she had been the first person in a long time for him to make a social contact, without David or Penelope doubting over him. "Thank you mister! Are you
that guy Miss Penelope is marrying?" An innocent question that made Jasdero blush from how wrong it sounded to him. With a quick gesture of his head moving back and forth from side to side, Jasdero and the little girl began to giggle. "Do you live in that house?" the little girl asked. Jasdero
shook his head up and down. "You have really long hair, I wish my hair has that long!" The urchin put her hands into her hood and held her short brown hair.
"Thank you." Was something Jasdero managed to utter.
"Are you shy?" the girl continued to question. Jasdero didn't comment back. "It's okay I won't make fun of you!"
"A little..." He voice anxious, but had managed to make the little girl smile. "People can't understand me when I talk."
Jasdero pointed to his head, "This" then pointed to his mouth "And this, don't like each other." An expression Jasdero was used to seeing when he spoke, confusion.
"Why's that?"
"My mind doesn't like to follow what my mouth and brain wants to say." He tried to express to the little girl.
"Weird, do you want to play ball?" She again questioned him. He shook his head from side to side. "Why?" the girl cried.
"My flesh won't let me." The little girl stared back at him strangely. His pupil's looking upward like he was constraining.
"My mind doesn't like to follow what my mouth and brain wants to say, it thinks its special, but it should know by now the other minds can't understand it half the time." The rambling scared the child and Jasdero knew it, his face
expressed all of the feelings his words couldn't articulate. The sound of the door from the back entrance escaped Jasdero's ears, but David's yelling sure didn't.
"What the hell are you doing?" David yelled. Jasdero waved goodbye to the little girl and jumped off from the fence. David grabbed his brother shoulder. "Come on get away from the fence before Penelope thinks you're talking to the
Spray bottles filled with different colors of food coloring sat close to the snow figure, as Jasdero picked out what dye he wanted for his snowman.
"This is pretty." His hands enclosed onto the one filled with a deep violet tint. An almost psychedelic snowman graced their backyard. "You like it right?" Jasdero inquire from David. His brother grin let him know that yes, he did well
this time with his coloring skills.
"Just because I said you could have all the colors you want, didn't mean you had to use them all!" David mocked his Jasdero.
"But it's pretty." Jasdero spoke softly, his body starting to shiver.
"Come on let's get back inside, it's getting cold out here." David muttered under his own bitter from low temperatures voice. Entering the breezeway Jasdero continued to stare at the fence, the thoughts he could make out was only
those of more prolonged human interaction.

DENVER (AP) — Long lines and blustery winter weather greeted Colorado marijuana shoppers testing the nation's first legal recreational pot shops Wednesday.
It was hard to tell from talking to the shoppers, however, that they had waited hours in snow and frigid wind.
"It's a huge deal for me," said Andre Barr, a 34-year-old deliveryman who drove from Niles, Mich., to be part of the legal weed experiment. "This wait is nothing."
The world was watching as Colorado unveiled the modern world's first fully legal marijuana industry — no doctor's note required (as in 18 states and Washington, D.C.) and no unregulated production of the drug (as in the Netherlands). Uruguay has fully legalized pot but hasn't yet set up its system.
Colorado had 24 shops open Wednesday, most of them in Denver, and aside from long lines and sporadic reports of shoppers cited for smoking pot in public, there were few problems.
"Everything's gone pretty smoothly," said Barbara Brohl, Colorado's top marijuana regulator as head of the Department of Revenue.
The agency sent its new marijuana inspectors to recreational shops to monitor sales and make sure sellers understood the state's new marijuana-tracking inventory system meant to keep legal pot out of the black market.
Denver International Airport erected signs warning travelers that they could not take marijuana home with them.
Keeping pot within Colorado's regulated system and within the state's borders are among requirements the U.S. Department of Justice has laid out to avoid a clampdown under federal law, which still outlaws the drug.
The other state that has legalizes recreational pot, Washington, will face the same restrictions when its retail shops start operating, expected by late spring.
The states' retail experiments are crucial tests of whether marijuana can be sold like alcohol, kept from children and highly taxed, or whether pot proves too harmful to public health and safety for legalization experiments to expand elsewhere.
"This feels like freedom at last," said Amy Reynolds, owner of two Colorado Springs medical pot shops. Reynolds came to Denver to toast the dawn of pot sales for recreational use. "It's a plant, it's harmless, and now anyone over 21 can buy it if they want to. Beautiful."
Marijuana skeptics, of course, watched in alarm. They warned that the celebratory vibe in Colorado masked dangerous consequences. Wider marijuana availability, they say, would lead to greater illegal use by youth, and possibly more traffic accidents and addiction problems.
"It's not just a benign recreational drug that we don't have to worry about," said Dr. Paula Riggs, head of the Division of Substance Dependence at the University of Colorado-Denver medical campus.
The only problems reported Wednesday, though, were long lines and high prices. Some shops raised prices or reduced purchasing limits as the day went on. One pot shop closed early because of tight supply. Some shoppers complained they were paying three times more than they were used to.
Colorado has no statewide pricing structure, and by midafternoon, one dispensary was charging $70 for one-eighth of an ounce of high-quality pot. Medical marijuana patients just a day earlier paid as little as $25 for the same amount.
Medical pot users worried they'd be priced out of the market. Colorado's recreational pot inventory came entirely from the drug's supply for medical uses.
"We hope that the focus on recreational doesn't take the focus away from patients who really need this medicine," said Laura Kriho of the patient advocacy group Cannabis Therapy Institute.
Colorado has hundreds of pending applications for recreational pot retailers, growers and processors. So it's too soon to say how prices would change more people enter the business, increasing supply and competition.
Shoppers waiting in line Wednesday didn't seem fazed by the wait, the prices, or the state and local taxes that totaled more than 25 percent.
"This is quality stuff in a real store. Not the Mexican brick weed we're used to back in Ohio," said Brandon Harris, who drove from Blanchester, Ohio.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- A Texas-sized cloud of uncertainty looms over college football's biggest game of the season.
As No. 1 Florida State and No. 2 Auburn prepare in southern California to meet Monday in the last BCS championship game, the University of Texas is still looking for a new football coach. And until the Longhorns make a hire, just about every successful coach can be considered a candidate - including Florida State's Jimbo Fisher and Auburn's Gus Malzahn.
"I've been amazed about how quiet this thing has been," ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit said earlier this week. "Because of that it leads me to speculate and believe that somebody still involved in coaching, whether it's the NFL or college, must be one of their primary candidates."
"I think the longer this goes on I think it's very, very clear that it's somebody who's still coaching. Who that might be, I have no idea."
A few small leaks have sprung in the last couple of days, though it's impossible to know how seriously to take them.
Published reports out of Texas stated the Longhorns are interested in Fisher, Baylor's Art Briles, Vanderbilt's James Franklin and Louisville's Charlie Strong. Michigan State's Mark Dantonio has also been mentioned as a coach Texas Athletic Director Steve Patterson is looking at. Patterson said he wants the search complete by Jan. 15.
"Texas, they're going to be calling on everybody they possibly can because they're going to try to get the best coach they possibly can," Florida State AD Stan Wilcox said. "Meanwhile, everybody's trying to keep their coaches because they all feel that the people that Texas is looking at are the best coaches out there."
Florida State hopes it has put all the speculation about Fisher's future to rest. The fourth-year head coach and Nick Saban disciple finally got around on Tuesday to signing a new contract that runs through the 2018 season and pays him about $4.1 million annually.
Auburn agreed to a new deal with Malzahn the day before the Southeastern Conference championship game last month. The six-year contract is worth $3.85 million annually to the first-year Tigers coach.
Briles got a 10-year deal in November from Baylor. Michigan State is working on a new deal for Dantonio that could double his $1.9 million salary.
And, of course, Saban, the object of so many Longhorns desires, agreed to a new multiyear deal with Alabama that will pay him $7 million a year after months of stories and speculation connecting the four-time national championship winning coach and Texas.
But what do those extensions really mean? Are Fisher, Malzahn, Briles and even Saban truly off the market?
"A contract is written to be broken," said Kansas State athletic director John Currie, who doesn't have to worry about his football coach, 74-year-old Bill Snyder, going anywhere.
The trend in college sports, especially college football, is for schools to quickly lock up successful coaches and hand out raises.
Mississippi extended Hugh Freeze's contract after a 7-5 regular season and bumped his pay to $3 million per year. Washington State's Mike Leach got the Cougars back into a bowl by winning six games in his second season at Pullman. He got a two-year extension for his work.
Texas A&M made the boldest move of all this season with coach Kevin Sumlin, who was drawing interest from NFL teams last year. The Aggies made Sumlin (20-6 in two seasons in College Station) a $5 million-per-year coach with a new six-year deal.
Arizona AD Greg Byrne said the contract numbers that make headlines can often be deceiving.
"When you get down into the details the interesting numbers are what's guaranteed, both sides. If the coach were to leave, what's the buyout? And then if you were to dismiss your coach without cause what percent of the contract is guaranteed?" Byrne said. "Sometime you'll see someone with an eight-year contract, but half the contract is guaranteed, so in some ways it's a four-year contract instead."
Currie said the NFL has played a major role in changing the salary structure for college coaches, but ultimately a school needs to decide what works best for it.
"Everybody else is doing it is not a reason to make a bad decision for your institution," he said.
But market pressures can be strong and big openings - such as the one at Texas - can drive up that market.
"I'm sure there's been a time where a school's reacted too slowly, but I think there have been times where a school has jumped ahead a little more in hindsight to where they want to be," Byrne said. "It's a challenging situation. I think the market place has gotten to such that there will be agents out there that will try to parlay one school against another. And I think that's driven up some of the numbers we're seeing today."
Florida State and Auburn have made their moves to protect their interests, and can spend this week focusing on what it takes to win a national championship. But until the Longhorns introduce a new coach, fans of the Seminoles and Tigers - and Bears and Cardinals, etc. - have reason to be at least a little distracted by what's going on in Austin.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- A decade after a winless season, Central Florida earned its first trip to a BCS bowl.
Once the Knights got there, they were given no chance at winning. Not against Baylor, the nation's best offensive team.
They refused to listen to all the negativity and turned the Fiesta Bowl into a rousing BCS debut.
Blake Bortles accounted for 394 yards and four touchdowns, Storm Johnson ran for two early tone-setting scores and No. 15 Central Florida outlasted Baylor 52-42 on Wednesday night in the highest-scoring game in Fiesta Bowl history.
"We did prove a lot of people wrong," Johnson said.
Central Florida (12-1) wasn't given much of a chance, entering the game as a 17-point underdog.
The Knights didn't care about the spread and certainly didn't back down from the big, bad Bears, racing past Baylor with an array of big plays.
They took an early 14-point lead and kept rolling, piling up 556 total yards in the second-highest scoring BCS bowl ever.
Bortles, the junior who could be weighing a jump to the NFL, was the catalyst, throwing for three touchdowns on 20-of-31 passing and running for 93 yards and another score.
Rannell Hall accounted for some of the biggest plays, catching four passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson kept Baylor from ganging up on UCF's passing game, grinding out 124 yards on 20 carries.
So much about having no shot.
"There's not many outside of us who believe we had a chance, but we did and I think we showed what UCF football is all about," Bortles said.
Known for its offense prowess, Baylor (11-2) had a hard time keeping up with the Knights.
The Big 12 champions finished with 550 total yards, but were uncharacteristically undisciplined, getting 17 penalties for 135 yards.
Bryce Petty tried to keep the Bears in it, running for three touchdowns while throwing for 356 yards and two more scores. Lache Seastrunk had some big runs in the first half and finished with 117 yards.
None of it was enough the way UCF ran through Baylor's defense.
"We caught a football team that was hot," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "They played extremely well early, got into us. We tried to play catch-up the whole game, never could turn it around when it needed turning."
The Fiesta Bowl was the BCS coming-out party for Baylor and Central Florida before college football's switch to a playoff system next season.
The Bears had been building toward this since Briles became coach in 2009, winding up his high-octane offense to lead the nation in scoring and churn out the second-most yards in FBS history.
Central Florida had a slower rise under George O'Leary.
The coach who was fired by Notre Dame five days after being hired for lying on his resume has built his reputation back up in Orlando, taking a program that went winless in 2004 to the inaugural American Athletic Conference title and automatic BCS berth this year.
The matchup was projected to be like the 2011 Fiesta Bowl, when mighty Oklahoma rolled over Connecticut 48-20.
The Knights weren't listening.
They opened with a 76-yard scoring drive capped by Johnson's tackle-breaking 11-yard touchdown run. Johnson scored again on UCF's next possession, this one on a 2-yard run.
The early 14-0 lead was expected. The team leading wasn't.
Baylor finally revved up its offense late in the first quarter, scoring on a 1-yard TD sneak by Petty and Central Florida looked as if it was ready to fall apart with turnovers on three consecutive plays.
Baylor only turned one of those into points: a 30-yard pass from Petty to Levi Norwood. Petty followed Johnson's fumble with an interception in the end zone, just his third of the season.
"Unfortunately, that was the turning point in the game," Petty said. "We needed that to save momentum up for us, especially after a turnover. Turnovers in the red zone kill an offense."
Then came the spectacular plays, seemingly one after another.
Hall darted and dashed through Baylor's defense for a 50-yard touchdown on a screen pass, with help from Josh Reese's downfield block.
Petty hurtled himself into the end zone, flipping over UCF's Brandon Alexander to cap a 13-yard run. That gave Baylor 659 points, breaking the NCAA record for a 13-game season set by Texas (652) in 2005.
The momentum was gone shortly after, when Hall turned a swing pass into a 34-yard touchdown - assisted again by Reese - to put the Knights up 28-20 at halftime.
Petty scored his third touchdown on 1-yard run in the third quarter and dashed in for the 2-point conversion to tie the game, but Central Florida still wouldn't back down.
Bortles hit Breshad Perriman on a 10-yard touchdown pass and opened the fourth quarter by scoring on a 15-yard run to put the Knights up 42-28.
Even after Baylor moved quickly for a 9-yard touchdown run by Glasco Martin, UCF had an answer, going up 49-35 on Johnson's 40-yard run through the heart of the Bears' defense.
The Knights held on from there, heading home with a giant trophy and a lot more national respect.

A group campaigning for the reopening of the railway line between March and Wisbech received a late Christmas present.
Antingham Parish Council, near North Walsham, Norfolk, delivered a former British Railways box van body to the Bramley Line Heritage Railway Trust's centre at Waldersea Yard, Friday Bridgenear Wisbech.
The 60 year old box van will initially be used for storage but will eventually be restored to run on the Bramley Line.
It was due to be scrapped by the parish council had a new home not been found for it.
The box van was originally based at March and probably ran on the Bramley Line and into Waldersea goods yard during its operational life.
It is the third item delivered to the trust's Waldersea base in recent months.
An Esso petrol tanker was delivered to the yard in September, which is awaiting restoration to its original state.
A 1960s British Railways tank wagon arrived at the former Waldersea goods yard at the beginning of October, just weeks after volunteers completed re-laying the sidings at the site, where trust volunteers are busy creating a heritage centre and museum.
Trust chairman Simon King said: "We are very excited by these developments. A lot of hard work has been put in by our volunteers over the past 12 months and real progress is now being made.
"New project plans are being developed and other administrative arrangements being put in place to ensure that the organisation is placed on a sound basis for operating as a heritage railway in the future."
The Bramley Line Heritage Railway Trust, which was established in 2010, supports the development of the Bramley Line with fund raising and its members provide the volunteers who work on the railway.
Anyone interested in helping with this project can join the trust or make a donation via http://www.bramleyline.org.uk or by ringing 0759 176 9180.

Will the Bramley ever re-open? Be nice to see a steam train depart the bay platform in March Station what a boost for the town that would be! If only I could win the lottery!
