You want numbers? There may well be some very specific cases where having someone as a sex-surrogate is necessary and helps. Many, many more are just people who would rather fuck someone else than deal with the responsibilities that they chose to take on, through thick or thin, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer.
You couldn't be more correct about how many more are just wanting people to fuck rather than to deal with the responsibilities they have. I try to avoid those people as those I get involved with typically start off with no sex at all and sometimes fizzle out before they had a chance to go there. So they were looking for some emotional support first and foremost and they were open to my poly situation and felt inspired by it.
Some people also have spoken about both married partners doing their own thing and I am the first person they are choosing to do that with because we have a kindred connection that gives them something to work from and grow from. They just haven't shared all the details with their partner not because they are dishonest but because they want to see how things might pan about between us before they "bring me home to meet the parents". I might be that trial and error for them just as much as they are for me.
Again, if those are the types of people who are good relationship material for you, then more power to you. For me, trust and commitment are what I give and expect from a partner, whether short-term or long-term. Someone who is cheating has demonstrated that when it comes to both, they fall very, very short.
It's not something I want. I am just a live and let live kind of person.
I said I have many reasons as to why I would feel an emotional connection with someone. I base who I am attracted to on many variables. Some are not as big of a deal as others, but other things that aren't a big deal to you might be a deal breaker for me.
I can appreciate your feelings on the issue. To me, someone who doesn't mesh well with me and my husbands quirks in life (as we are both Asperger's) are people who automatically get excluded (which is a majority of people anyway) let alone how many more that removes from the table when you are looking for another couple. So there are big fish to fry left and right when living this lifestyle. I am not looking to move every potential in. I am not necessarily looking for sex. If that other person is only looking for sexual fulfillment and not something much deeper, well they aren't my type anyway.
I know several people who are in situations where they might enjoy a multi-faceted connection with me and my husband as an adventure and experience in their lives at a point when they need it the most. It might motivate them in ways they weren't able to be before.
Ultimately and ideally, I would have full disclosure. And several people I had hoped to get to know better were uncomfortable with the idea that I was married at all, even with transparency between my husband and I. They didn't like knowing that he knew. Those people who can't be OK with me being married (whether they are married or not) are people who exclude themselves too.
Statistically, it feels like the chances of success in poly relationships is so minimal already that adding any other complexities to the equation (sans marriage issues) just makes it that much less likely to be able to connect with people who might only be a chapter or two in my life story.
I am relatively new to the poly thing and I learn something new everytime I read a response. All backgrounds help me be a better poly person. But I've never been a traditionalist. I was held back in detrimental ways due to people holding fast and true to traditional guidelines placed on them from religion. I believe rigidity in thinking can certainly have a purpose and a place. I just think there has been a lot of judgment and assumptions made on what others should be doing in their marriage.
There are exceptions to all stereotypes. Believe it or not, I happen to rub shoulders with those exceptions all the time. People find me easy to talk to and open up about things. I ask a lot of questions. A lot that tells me whether or not they are looking to get their rocks off only. Whether or not they have sought this sort of thing before. Why? What does their spouse know? I have them answer the same questions in different ways to see if they are just making things up as they go. I could still be getting lied to. But I'd like to think I am not haphazardly going out and about doing whatever without considering what type of people they are and what they might be ultimately trying to accomplish.
Me: 32, bi, female, married 14 years to R.
R: 33, hetero male who is polyfriendly, NSA friendly under the right circumstances.
S: The child R and I have together.
Neither have found the partner(s) we would like to merge villages with. In the meantime we are exploring our collective sexuality to find a frequency that feels right.

Chihuahuas 5 - Salt Lake Bees 1
Key Statistics:LF Reymond Fuentes 2-5; DH Jonathan Galvez 2-4, 2B, BB; RF Jeff Francoeur 1-4, BB; 2B Chris Nelson 2-3, 3B, 2 RBI, 2 BB; 1B Cody Decker 2-5, 2B, 3 RBI; RHP Matt Wisler (W, 5-4) 7.0 IP 5 H R ER BB 2 Ks.
Prospect Watch: In Salt Lake City the Chihuahuas only scored in two innings but it was enough as Matt Wisler had another good outing in what has been an up-and-down season for him in AAA....1B Cody Decker was a big part of both rallies in the fifth and seventh innings with three RBI on the day. It looks like Cody is on another one of his patented hot streaks as he is hitting .357 in the first four games in July...Reymond Fuentes got his first start in AAA since being sent back from San Antonio and had a pari of hits...After giving up seven runs in his last start, Wisler gave up one today. What is interesting is the start before he gave up seven runs he also gave up one earned run. But then again, maybe looking for pitching consistency in the PCL is the hobgoblin of small minds.

San Antonio 7 - Tulsa Drillers 4
Key Statistics:CF Cory Spangenberg 2-5, 2B; 3B Adam Buschini 2-5; 2B Casey McElroy 2-4, RBI; C Robert Kral 0-2, 2 BB; RF Yeison Asencio 2-3, 2B, BB, SB (7); 1B Cody Overbeck 2-4, HR (5), 4 RBI; SS Brian Bixler 1-2, BB; P James Needy 1-2; RHP James Needy (W, 6-3) 6.2 IP 8 H 2 R 2 ER 4 Ks; LHP Jeff Ibarra (S,1) 0.2 IP.
Prospect Watch:1B Cody Overbeck had the big blow in the second inning with a three run home run as James Needy continues to roll for his sixth win. With the exception of one start of two starts where he gave up three and four runs, in 13 starts this season he has given up two runs or less in every outing and is second on the team in innings pitched at 88.1...Cory Spangenberg got another start in center....Also to put the cherry on top of his sundae, Needy got his first hit of the season on Friday to go along with a sacrifice bunt.

High Desert Mavericks 6 - Storm 4
Key StatisticsDH Mallex Smith 1-5, HR (1), RBI; 2B Benji Gonzalez 1-3, 2B, 2 BB; SS Diego Goris 1-4, HR (13), RBI, BB; C Dane Phillips 2-5; 3B Gabriel Quintana 2-5; LF Jeremy Baltz 0-2, 2 BB; RHP Joe Ross 6.0 IP 5 H 3 R 2 ER BB 4 Ks, HR; RHP Adam Cimber (BS, 4)(L, 4-1) 2.0 IP 4 H 3 R ER K.
Prospect Watch:Adam Cimber had a rare bad outing giving up three runs in the eighth inning as the Storm's five game winning streak came to an end...SS Diego Goris in now fourth overall in the organization with home runs at 13...While there still may be some questions of if Dane Phillips can stay behind the plate, his bat seems to be able to play with a slash line of .282/.354/.612...Joe Ross had a good outing in High Desert in only giving up a pair of runs. Along with Lancaster, the park is one of the toughest to pitch in the Cal League.
For further reading on the Storm please see the Southwest Riverside News Network.
West Michigan Whitecaps 3 - TinCaps 1
Key Statistics:3B Dustin Peterson 2-4, 2B, RBI; DH Nick Schultz 2-4; RHP Jimmy Brasoban (L,0-3) 5.0 IP 6 H 3 R 3 ER 2 BB 4 Ks; RHP Josh Richardson 3.0 IP 2 H BB 2 Ks; RHP Nick Mutz 1.0 IP H 2 Ks.
Prospect WatchWe were at the game in Fort Wayne. Please read our game story for more information.
For further reading on the TinCaps, see the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.
Emeralds 7 - Boise Hawks1
Key Statistics:2B Jalen Goree 2-5, 3B; SS Franchy Cordero 3-4, 2B, HR (3), 3 RBI, BB; LF Marcus Davis 3-4, HR (4), 2 RBI, BB; LHP Griffin Russell 4.0 IP 3 H R ER 2 BB 5 Ks; LHP Danny Wissmann (W, 1-0) 1.0 IP H K.
Prospect WatchThe Emeralds put three on the board in the sixth to erase a 1-0 deficit and then Marcus Davis and Franchy Cordero hit home runs in eighth and ninth innings to pile on. It was Eugene's third straight victory...Cordero's performance was his best of the year with a pair of extra-base hits and no errors at shortstop...2014 fourth round draft pick Nick Torres singled in his professional debut..LF/1B Marcus Davis, a second year player from Florida State, may be a candidate for promotion to Low-A Fort Wayne with a combination of a very crowded outfield in Eugene and some really good numbers by him, .297/.444/.547, in Eugene.

Twilight Zone: Shadow and Substance by Mark Rahner, Tom Peyer, and John Layman Illustrated by Edu Menna, Randy Valiente, Rod Rodolfo, Jose Malaga, and Colton Worley.
Twilight Zone: Shadow and Substance is a large (250 pages) collection of, well, new Twilight Zone stories in graphic form. Or maybe "newish" might be better, as several have deliberate (I'm assuming) echoes of classic Twilight Zone tale, and most have, at least in my mind, a bit of a retro feel to them. I'm not sure this element however is as intentional, leaving many of the stories feeling more than a little predictable and stale. I suppose, for those who don't read often in the genre o...

Swords are big chunks of toughened, often sharpened, metal. They have one practical application - to cut or pierce flesh. Some are better at cleaving or crushing armour, some are designed to be light and others designed to be duelling weapons - the clash of steel upon steel needing a particular kind of blade. In our modern world, where the sword is less of a life and death object, it has become a beautiful artefact to be studied and admired. There is now a romanticism attached to the blade, as if its status has become more... Read More
Death's End: Truly epic finale to the THREE-BODY trilogy

Death's End by Cixin Liu
Listening to Cixin Liu's THREE-BODY trilogy reminds me of those graphics on cosmology that illustrate our relative scale in the universe. It starts with the microscopic world of individual atoms and molecules (or even subatomic particles like quarks and neutrinos), expands outward to individual cells, organisms, and larger creatures, then jumps out further to continents and the planet Earth, zooming back to encompass our solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, and then pulling out further to an endless sea of galaxies that make up our universe. But Liu doesn't stop there. He's just gotten started, really. After all, there are more universes out there, and we've only mentioned three dimensions so far.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
I'm certainly late to the party when it comes to reading Audrey Niffenegger's first novel — I remember it making a huge splash when it was first published, and was astonished to flip open my copy and realise it was released back in 2003. Time certainly flies, which is an apt idiom to recall when reading The Time Traveler's Wife.
Clare meets Henry for the first time when she's six and he's thirty-six. Henry meets Clare for the first time when he's twenty-eight and she's twenty. This is made possible by the fact Henry is born with a rare genetic disease that sporadically pulls him into his past or future, often depositing him in strange locations where he's left stranded and alone.

The Saliva Tree by Brian W. Aldiss
In 1966, with the 100th anniversary of H.G. Wells' birthday approaching, Brian W. Aldiss wrote a story in tribute of one of, if not, the genre's grandfather. The resulting novella, The Saliva Tree, distills elements of The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds into a suspenseful horror story that has just the socio-political agenda 'grandpa' would have approved of.
Set in the late 19th century, The Saliva Tree opens with two "scientifically enlightened" young men standing in the countryside of rural England, watch... Read More

Between Light and Shadow: An Exploration of the Fiction of Gene Wolfe, 1951 to 1986 by Marc Aramini
Last year I tried twice (unsuccessfully) to finish The Best of Gene Wolfe: A Retrospective of His Finest Fiction, giving up in defeat. Gene Wolfe is frequently described as one of the most brilliant SFF writers in the genre by critics, authors, and readers alike. Some fans prize his books above all others, and there is a WolfeWiki page dedicated to discussing his work. But there are also many SFF readers that are baffled and frustrated by his stories because they are packed with metaphors, literary references, and hidden themes, and require extremely close reading to understand and appreciate. So I didn't expect to make any more attempts in the near future.
However, when the 2016 Hugo Awards... Read More

The Lazarus Effect by Frank Herbert & Bill Ransom
The Lazarus Effect (1983) is part of the PANDORA SEQUENCE that Frank Herbert wrote with Bill Ransom. The series has its origin in Herbert's 1966 novel Destination: Void, of which he published a revised edition in 1978, prior to the release of The Jesus Incident (1979), his first collaboration with Ransom. The Jesus Incident was rough around the edges, mostly because a copyright issue came up that required lots of last-minute rewriting. The Lazarus Effect was written in a less frantic fashion but, interesting enough, The Jesus Incident Read More

A Shadow Bright and Burning: Lovecraftian monsters invade Victorian England
Readers' average rating:
A Shadow Bright and Burning by Jessica Cluess
In this Victorian-era fantasy, sixteen year old Henrietta Howel, who is now a teacher at the Brimthorn orphanage in Yorkshire where she has spent the last eleven years, has developed an ability to magically set things on fire. She believes this marks her as a witch or magician, who are imprisoned or put to death in England since a horrific event eleven years earlier, when a magician's spell misfired and opened a portal in our world from another dimension. Through this portal entered the Seven Ancients, magical demons who have been terrorizing England ever since, killing hundreds of people with the help of their Familiars, humans who have been turned into their evil servants.
While magicians are vilified in British society as a result, sorcerers, on the other hand, are revered ― despite the fact that a sorcerer participa... Read More

INIT6 Technologies, an integrated Linux Administration Training academy at Hyderabad , it has been started to provide real time job oriented Linux Administration, Amazon web srevices courses to the students and employers. We provide class room training and every Student who enters into the INIT6, will be incubated by our Student Friendly trainers who will ensure that you are job ready by the end of the course.
All over the world Linux OS is using and it is increasing day by day so the demand for jobs in Linux Administration grew so in order to fulfil the demand supply gap we have started INIT6 Technologies to train students and help them in fetching the job.
Our courses are tailor made that matches the current industry requirements. We not only teach but train students by providing live scenarios, case studies,assignments and tests.
Basic Administration
It's difficult to put together a simple answer when I'm asked about the job of a system administrator. Every aspect of the system can fall within the realm of a system administrator. Entire books have been written about just the software side, and for most system administrators, hardware, networks, and even programming fall into their laps.
I work for the largest developer of online broker software in Germany. In addition to the software, we also run the data centers for several online brokers. I am responsible for monitoring the systems and providing reports on several levels, performance and many other things. I am expected to understand how our software works with all of its various components, how they work with third party products; as well as the workings of the network, firewalls, Solaris, Linux, Windows 2000 and XP, perl, shell scripting, and so forth.
There is very little here on my site that does not directly relate to my job as a system administrator. For the most part, you need to be a jack of all trades. Although Linux has come a long way in the last few years and you no longer need to be a "guru" to get it to work, knowing how to administer your system allows you to go beyond what is delivered to you out of the box.
In this chapter, we are just going to go through the basics. We won't necessarily be talking about individual steps or processes used by the administrator, but rather about functional areas. With this, I hope to be able to give you enough background to use the programs and utilities that the system provides for you.

Healesville Sanctuary is very excited to announce our newest resident's – twelve week old emu chicks, Dash and Drum!
Designer Caitlin Holstock has proudly showcased her winning Miss Universe costume at Healesville Sanctuary. The costume was inspired by the land of the Wurundjeri tribe.
Wednesday 12 November 2014 was a very special day for our oldest Platypus at Healesville Sanctuary - Fleay turned 21 years old!
Fleay came into the collection as a baby in 1993 and has been the feature display in World of Platypus for the past 21 years.
It is thought that Platypus in the wild live to about 15 years but in captivity they can live into their early 20s.
They say you should never work with children and animals, but Monash Children's Hospital and Healesville Sanctuary teamed up to break that rule.
Healesville Sanctuary has some exciting news – Love, the Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby has a joey in her pouch. The gorgeous joey has just started poking its head out and taking a peak at visitors.
This is the first joey for dad, Thunder.
Leo the Echidna puggle tested fate when he was found at only a month old in a garden bed in Badger Creek. Luckily for Leo, he was brought straight to Healesville Sanctuary's Australian Wildlife Health Centre and was given a fighting chance to survive.
Visitors to Healesville Sanctuary will now experience a spectacular new setting for its world-renowned Lyrebirds following a renewed partnership with RACV to transform the Lyrebird aviary.
Healesville Sanctuary has celebrated one of its best breeding and release seasons to date, successfully releasing eighteen Helmeted Honeyeaters into the wild last week.
This Friday 26 September we commemorate World Cassowary Day to raise awareness of the Southern Cassowary, which has an estimated population of possibly fewer than 1,000.
Healesville Sanctuary's oldest Dingo, Kuma, visited the veterinary specialist Wednesday 24 September at the Melbourne Veterinary Specialist Centre in Glen Waverley.
Kuma, aged 12, had an upset stomach and had an abdominal ultrasound and upper gastrointestinal scope.

She is an Australian singer/songwriter and pianist. She also acted in a movie called ''Literature/HatingAlisonAshley'' and played the role of Nina Tucker on the Australian soap ''{{Neighbours}}''. She has done two Australian month long tours, ''Visualise'' (2005), ''Believe Again'' (2009) and one 2 week, album release, half tour, called ''An Evening With Delta Goodrem:The Top Of My World Shows'' (2012).When signed to Sony, at the age of 15, she first tried to take advantage of the pop explosion, in 2001, with a single called "I Don't Care". This didn't take off as planned and underachieved compared to all singles afterwards.However, her first album proper, ''Innocent Eyes'' in 2003, signified a completely different musical direction, an acoustic personal contemporary singer songwriter direction, with help of Kara Dioguardi (Music/HilaryDuff, Music/AshleeSimpson), Gary Barlow, Matthew Gerrard (Music/JessicaSimpson, Music/JesseMcCartney), and her friend Vince Pizzinga. It went 14 times platinum in 2003/2004, with five #1 singles, "Not Me Not I", "Predictable", "Born To Try", "Innocent Eyes" and "Lost Without You". The theme of this album was "coming of age" and growing up and getting your heart broken but still remaining positive.''Mistaken Identity'' (2004), five times platinum, followed this album, where she worked with Guy Chambers (Music/RobbieWilliams), Cathy Dennis (Music/ChristinaAguilera, Music/BritneySpears), Billy Man (Music/{{Pink}}, Music/TheVeronicas) and her friend Vince Pazzinga with hit songs "Out Of The Blue", "Be Strong", "Mistaken Identity" and "A Little Too Late". She also did her first major tour the "Visualise Tour" which was one of the highest selling Arena tours for a local artist in Australia. She said her theme this album was "Weather" and "nature". This showed in the stage show, which focused on a night time feel and it was her first real show and tour. She also launched Lost Without You in America and Flawed in Asia.She then took awhile to do her album ''Delta'' (2007) which she did mostly with her ex fiance, Music/BrianMcfadden. This album featured the hit singles "In This Life", "Believe Again", "You Will Only Break My Heart" and " I Can't Break It To My Heart". She took this album to America for 5 weeks.She's now releasing her fourth album, world wide, partially with her friend NickJonas. She also worked with Gary Clark (Music/DemiLovato, Music/McFly), John Shanks (Music/HilaryDuff, Music/LindsayLohan), her buddy Vince Pizzinga and Livvi Franc. The single "Sitting On Top Of the World" came out March 2012. Which was super successful. "Dancing With A Broken Heart", the second single was released, and was a mixed success, followed by "Wish You Were Here", which was a huge success. ''Child Of the Universe'' the album came out soon after. The theme of this album was taking back control and making big moves to change your destiny. She also proceeded to release a Christmas EP, her apparent "First" of many planned ones to make up for the lost time between ''Delta'' 07 and ''Child of the Universe'' for her fans. She then released "Heart Hypnotic" and ''Innocent Eyes'' 10 Year edition for her fans in 2013 and then released "Love Thy Will Be Done", in late 2014, continuing her giving her fans things as a thanks for being patient between 07 and Child Of The Universe.She is currently a judge/mentor on the Australian version of ''Series/TheVoice.'' In 2014 she became part of The Voice Kids Australia, in a judge/mentor/backer/coach. She mentored the winner of The Voice Jr/Kids and Alexa won. She also spent the time since early 2013 writing and recording her fifth album and third attempt at America, due 2015.

Every section of her life/live show is "World".*** She also ALWAYS needs "time to heal" and "Be away from the spotlight for a little bit". ** Her third self titled album was going to be called ''Conditions Of A Heart'', it had two tracks on it with Broke/Break and Heart in them ("I Can't Break It To My Heart," "You Will Only Break My Heart") and a b-side to her ''Delta'' album also featured the word "Heart" ("Right Here In My Heart"). 4 of her singles has had the word "Heart" in them ("Heart Hypnotic"). She has also used Break/broken in 3 of those 6 single titles. ("I Can't Break It To My Heart," "Dancing With A Broken Heart," "You Will Only Break My Heart")* BreakupSong: "Not Me Not I", "Throw It Away", "Lost Without You", "Silence Be Heard", "Predictable", "My Big Mistake", "Flawed", "Dancing With A Broken Heart", "Control", "I Lost All Love 4 U", "Alcohol", and others.* BrieferThanTheyThink: Despite how she brought Singer-Songwriters back into popularity in Australia, she's only had four albums out in almost ten years.* BeYourself: "The Riddle" "This Is Not Me", "In My Own Time", "Running Away", "Mistaken Identity", "Nobody Listened", "Here I Am" ( pluts its "Piano Cello Version"), "Flawed", "Daughter", "A Little Too Late", "Safe to Believe", "Child Of the Universe", "Breathe In, Breathe Out", "Disorientated", "Flawed", "Running Away", "Touch", "Waiting For Forever", "Uncovered". ... and some other tracks from her first, second and fourth album.* BareYourMidriff: During the second sequence of her first tour.* BadassBoast: "When My Stars Come Out", "Knocked Out", "Hunters And The Wolves", "The Riddle", "I Lost All Love 4 You" * BSide: Most of her singles feature b-sides and it's easier to mention the ones which don't.* BreakTheCutie: It's not hard to find times when she is hated for no other reason then being a sweet and kind woman who wants to give her all to the world, despite the fact she hasn't always had the best people around her to enable her to give her all like she so wants too.* BrokenAesop: "sometimes you have to sacrifice the things you like", in "Born To Try". She has to have breaks/holidays, for two years, between each era instead of following her path to world wide success. Kind of confusing she say you have sacrifice things you like, like romance and holidays to get further in life, but she insists on never following this guideline.** Continued with her song called "Knocked Out" which has such lines as: "There's always something in the way if you let it stop you" and most Delta fans are used to SOMETHING going wrong and delayed her plans by months if not years!* BlatantLies: Many Many MANY times leading up to the eventual release of ''Child of The Universe'' due to a combination of romantic disaster, ExecutiveMeddling, DevelopmentHell and various other things going wrong.** Insisted many times during the release of ''Delta'' that she genuinely loved all the songs on the album and that they were a part of her. Recent revelations have people doubting any thing she said during that era due to implications on her ''Child Of the Universe'' record she was being manipulated into making insincere artistic decisions.* ButterflyOfDoom: in "Touch"---> I'm like a butterfly that moves it's wings/There's a storm happening somewhere* CallBack:** "Lost Without You" is mentioned in "A Little Too Late".** "A Little Too Late" video has a jamming with friends vibe, just like "Lost Without You" did ** "Sitting On Top of The World" features a lyrical shout out to "Together We Are One". The song also features the "oooh oooh oooh"'s after the finale which happened in "Believe Again".** "Sitting On Top the World" music video also has visual tributes/gags/references to "A Little Too Late" (Fun group dancing, hanging with friends vibe, sad ending), "In This Life" (Fashion focused music video, Bridget Bardot Look, change in shade after third verse,)and "Out Of the Blue" (Standing up by a piano playing it instead of sitting, outside overt symbolism over joyous occasioning).** "Dancing With A Broken Heart" video has a whole scene referring to a scene,in her video for "Believe Again", where she wears a similar black ripped dress right near dark dank water but arising from it.** "''born to try'' and try and try again" in Without Words** ''Help me to "Believe Again"'' in RISE.* CloudCuckoolander: Her fans often note how she can say something, but not really go through with it, for whatever reasons, she's also VERY into spirits and ghosts and angels and definitely lives in her own world most of the time.* TheCasanova: Promises to become this or FemmeFatale in "Hunters and The Wolves".* CanonDisContinuity / {{Retcon}}: Her debut single "I Don't Care" was retconned from Delta's past for a good couple of years. However, it was in the setlist for the Visualise Tour before being forgotten once again. ''Child Of The Universe'' was forgotten after a month of promotion.* CarefulWithThatAxe: Used towards the end of "Nobody Listened". A heavy feature in "Waiting For Forever", "Control", "Alcohol" and "Hunters and The Wolves".* CelebrityEndorsement: Quite frequently, Pepsi used her in 2004 in Australia. She had her own underwear line in 2005-2007. She then endorsed, Proactive, So Good, Sunsilk, Nintendo UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} in 2008-2010. Weetbix used her once or twice. Newest brand to use her star power is "Swisse". She was also a part of some Australian Tourism adverts. Oral-B took her on in 2013.* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: While in Bali, one time, with her co-writer Nick, there are some photo's which look rather untoward and sexy for both of them.* ChristmasSongs: Did a Christmas concert for her fans and also played parts in various televised Christmas shows in Australia. She is now working on doing a Christmas EP and making it a often thing.* ComingOfAgeStory: "Innocent Eyes" was this on her first album and "Touch" definitely goes through her life up to that point.* ClusterFBomb: Confessed to actually using these during her cancer ordeal.* ConceptAlbum: Each album seems to have an overarching theme:** ''Innocent Eyes'' was about her being young and learning from mistakes.** ''Mistaken Identity'' was her dealing with her cancer and the social and relationship problems which followed it** ''Delta'' was her experimenting with sounds and vocal styles.** ''Child Of the Universe'': The will to survive against adversity and that we are all connected and can change the world. * CoverVersion: [[Music/RandyNewman "You Can Leave Your Hat On"]], [[Music/StevieNicks "Edge Of Seventeen"]], "Black Velvet," "Burn For You", "That's Freedom," "Sweet Dreams," "Queen Of The Night," "Love Thy Will Be Done," "Stay," "Kissing You," [[Music/TheDarkness "I Believe in a Thing Called Love"]].* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Mistaken Identity'' is this compared to both ''Innocent Eyes'' and ''Delta''.** ''Child Of The Universe'' is this to ''Delta'' 07. It has a theme of just surviving certain situations and taking back control in an abusive relationship.* {{Dedication}}: "Be Strong" is dedicated to her friend Belinda Emmett, "You Are My Rock" is dedicated to her brother, "Wish You Were Here" is dedicated to her passed over friend Liam and "Angels In The Room" is dedicated to her fans.* DeadpanSnarker: "I Lost All Love 4 You" is all this!* DoesNotLikeShoes: When she performs, especially at the piano, she always goes bare foot.** The music video for "Lost Without You" makes a point to show us this.* DidYouThinkICantFeel?: In a recent interview:-->I think people still have to remember that. I'm still human – I can't not feel. I'm learning. It's a new chapter. I think that's all I can do.* TheDeterminator: On her best friend's birthday, after he passed she decided the day wasn't going to end without the PERFECT song dedicated to his life and his unfortunate passing on.** Worked pretty hard in making her ''IE,'' ''MI'' and ''Child Of the Universe'' albums accurately true to her feelings at those times.** In one particular circumstance she burnt herself, badly before doing a performance and instead of cancelling it she showed up and did half of it and she had to be almost passed out to partially cancel it and still went on to do the promo she had booked before hand and did the rest of the tour the next week.* DistaffCounterpart: To Music/GuySebastian.* DuetBonding: How she got together with Music/BrianMcfadden.* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Her 'experiments' with pop with "I Don't Care" and the original version of "A Year Ago Today" as this to fans of her initially. The majority of her music lacks this element.* EpicInstrumentalOpener: "Believe Again" features 42 second introduction, mostly done with a symphony.** "Extraordinary Day" also features a 30 second introduction.* EraSpecificPersonality: She seems to have two, her "Delta Goodrem" singer-songwriter persona, which is very honest and soulful (Present album 1,2 and 4) and her "Delta" popstar persona, complete with CelineDion-esque MelismaticVocals and slightly less personal lyrical/song choices. (Album 3)* FanGirl: Apparently has a thing for MileyCyrus (One of the reasons she was so glad to work with Nick), CelineDion (Freaked out when her song got picked for a Celine album) and Bali (The first place she goes when she gets a new boyfriend)* FanNickName: Her third SelfTitledAlbum is nicknamed "Believe Again" within her fandom.* FragileFlower: During her MI era she was this. Also has a song called "Fragile".* FollowYourHeart: "Born To Try", "Here I Am (Piano Cello Version)", "This Is Not Me", "In My Own Time", "The Riddle" "A Little Too Late", "Mistaken Identity", "Disorientated", "Flawed", "Running Away", "Touch", "Daughter", "Waiting For Forever", "I Lost Love 4 U", "Uncovered", "War On Love", "Speed Of Life", "Control".* GratuitousPanning: During the piano solo in Innocent Eyes on the album of the same name to confuse the listener. * GreenEyedMonster: She uses this as motivation for "Hunters And The Wolves". This song notes her beauty and how many men want her now.---> ''Now that I'm free''---> ''Let the wolves come and get me''* GenkiGirl: She can barely keep within her seat during interviews. She also has a cheery, perky, angelic spirit while meeting fans.* GriefSong: "A Year Ago Today," "Wish You Were Here".* GrowingUpSucks: "Innocent Eyes" and "Touch" fall into this (see Coming Of Age Story above).* GenreRoulette: Her third album was her experimental record and had Rnb ("You Will Only Break My Heart," "Possessionless"), country ("Woman"), rock ("One Day") and spiritual music ("Angels In The Room") moments, tributes and songs.** Attempted more thematically on ''Child Of the Universe,'' with some big band elements ("Hypnotized", "When My Stars Come Out"), early pop ("Hypnotized", "Child of the Universe"), rock ("Touch", "Alcohol"), 90's pop ("Child Of the Universe", "Speed Of Life"), Music/KateBush ("Hunters And the Wolves", "Dancing With A Broken Heart") and Music/LanaDelRey ("Control", "Touch") moments.* HeartbeatSoundtrack: Used for dramatic purposes in "Extraordinary Day".* HeroicRROD: This is how the days before she got cancer are explained to have been in her Woman's Weekly magazine interview in 2004 and her "Delta" 2003 DVD backs up her over work hurt her body idea.* HiddenDepths: Appears to be a pretty good ballet dancer according to her "Delta" DVD....and, "Dancing With A Broken Heart" video.* HotterAndSexier: She's always kept her more sexual tracks as b-sides ("How A Dream Looks", "Fever", "Take Me Home", for examples) all the way up to ''Child Of The Universe'' which has "Hunters And The Wolves", "Rise", "Hypnotized", "Safe To Believe" and "Speed Of Life" all which mention her actual reality being a sexual woman on some level. Personal growth...Also she started dressing sexier for the masses, wearing shoes which say "Sex" for example, instead of just her fans/her now former fiance just before that era officially started, on The Voice, in general her confidence in her sexuality went way up around the time Brian left.* IdiosyncraticAlbumTheming: She is not fond of smiling on her Album Covers. She always opens her albums on a positive note, both single wise and tracklist wise, with a dose of empowerment too.* IAmYouAndYouAreMe: Said word for word in "Fortune and Love".* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Falls into this time to time still not committing any widely acknowledged social or career bad moves, her problem is that people can't believe someone can be that kind.** She also wears a lot of white all the time.** Also disowns all negative emotions and moments ever, which is a form of this trope.* TheIngenue: Related to IncorruptiblePurePureness she barely admits fault or wrongness.* TheInsomniac: Descussed in "The Analyst".---> "prepare yourselves to meet / the girl who cannot sleep"* ImportantHaircut: Shaved all her hair off on impulse before the ARIA's in 2003. This was during her chemo treatment and her hair was falling out anyway.** She eventually cut her hair when she was 27/28 to show personal growth and control in herself.* IntercourseWithYou: "Take Me Home", "Fever", "How A Dream Looks", "I Feel You", "Hunters and The Wolves", "Safe To Believe", "Rise", "Hypnotized".* LighterAndSofter: Her NewSoundAlbum ''Delta'' is this to ''Mistaken Identity''.* LonelyPianoPiece: "Will You Fall For Me" and "Fragile," the closing tracks on ''Innocent Eyes'' and ''Mistaken Identity'' respectively [[note]](bonus tracks notwithstanding for the latter)[[/note]].* LoveNostalgiaSong: "I Can't Break It To My Heart", ''Lost Without You'', "I'm Not Ready"* LoveWillLeadYouBack: "I Can't Break It To My Heart"---> ''If I still believe you love me''---> ''Maybe I'll survive''---> ''So I tell myself you're coming home''---> ''Like you've done a million times''---> ''And if it's alright''---> ''I'll still be loving you''---> '' 'Cause I can't break it to my heart'' * LongTitle: "Will You Fall For Me", "I Can't Break It To My Heart", "You Will Only Break My Heart", "Right Here In My Heart", "Sitting On Top Of the World", "Dancing With A Broken Heart", "When My Stars Come Out", "Hunters And The Wolves", "I Lost All Love 4 You".* LyricalDissonance: "God Laughs", "Knocked Out", "I Lost All Love 4 You".* LyricalColdOpen: "Innocent Eyes".* LyricalTic: When it doubt put an "AH/EH" in; "Waiting For Forever," "Believe Again," "Dancing With A Broken Heart," "Touch," "Sitting On Top Of the World," "One Day," and "Angels In The Room."* MusicBoxIntervals: "Daughter" opens like this and then uses those intervals as the strings later on in the song.* TheMasochismTango: Heavily implied in some lyrics in "Child Of the Universe", in songs such as "Control", "I Lost All Love 4 You", "I'm Not Ready" and "Alcohol".* MeanCharacterNiceActor: As far as who she plays on stage to who she is in real life. She plays at mean teasing snarker when on stage with her band and dancers, but in real life is apparently a sweetheart who always makes time for her fans and is always really close to her band, especially her musical director Rich Sanford.* MoodWhiplash: Going 14 times platinum/Diagnosed with cancer in the same year** ''Mistaken Identity'' Album: "Extraordinary Day" then "A Little Too Late", actually most of the album is quiet whiplashing.** ''Child Of the Universe'' has dark and acoustic "I Lost All Love 4 You" before the show tune of "When My Stars Come Out".* MotorMouth: "Hunter And The Wolves", "I Lost All Love 4 You".* MelismaticVocals: Uses it on her "Innocent Eyes" era live, effectively.** Used on ''Delta'' album to imitate CelineDion.* {{Medley}}: A couple over the years by tour:** Top Of My World Shows: Child Of the Universe/Sitting On Top Of the World/Born To Try, Bare Hands/Throw It Away, Out Of The Blue/Be Strong, Innocent Eyes/Mistaken Identity, Hunters And The Wolves/Dancing With A Broken Heart/Light Night On Earth Not Me Not I/Child Of the Unvierse ** Visualise: I Feel The Earth Move/I Don't Care/Are You Gonna Be My Girl, ** Believe Again: "Together We Are One Day" (a mash-up of "Together We Are One" and "One Day").** Madigrasland: Born To Try/Lost Without You/Predictable/Sitting On Top Of The World/Child Of The Universe* MundaneMadeAwesome: her advert for The Voice Australia defines this trope, it's one of the four talent shows on in Australia right now, and only just starting at that. They use over the top symphonies and slow motion replays of the coach/judges doing...things which are extremely boring.* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Did this to her former main musical director and guitarist Rich Sanford at her Believe Again tour.* NewSoundAlbum: ''Delta'' is rather pop compared to her other albums, diminishing the classical piano to an extent. She uses songs from very far outside sources with styles like country ("Woman") and CelineDion-like songwriters ("The Guardian"), which contrasts to her rather close to the albums own sound songs she uses from other songwriters on her first and second albums, for example "Throw It Away" and "Lost Without You." It's also shorter than her previous two albums.** The "Heart Hypnotic" single and "Feline" album introduced electronic elelemets.* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Or in ''Mistaken Identity'''s case: ''Contemporary classical piano focused jazz-pop rock'', similar thing happened with ''Child Of The Universe''.* NiceGirl: Has a good relationship with all of her fans, listens to their advice, is always giving money to charity, spends time in hospitals for the ill and generally has a kind spirit to those who meet/work with her, and has a very personable smiley persona to EVERYONE.* NeverMyFault: Took this as her mantra while dating Music/BrianMcfadden, the second he went she stated taking responsibility for her mistakes.* OvershadowedByAwesome: Among the co-coaches in ''The Voice'' Delta has had a ten-year career, with only four albums to her name and is only super famous/notable in Australia. The rest (Seal, Music/GoodCharlotte's Joel Madden, Music/RickyMartin and Music/KeithUrban) have had at least 7 albums and have been around for 17 years, and are famous world wide.* PerformanceVideo : "Predictable", "Be Strong", "I Can't Break It To My Heart"* PimpedOutDress: It'd be easier to dress out the times and performances she didn't pimp out or dress up her dresses.* ThePollyanna: Enduring member of this trope during the era 2006-2011.* PowerOfFriendship: "Sanctuary", "You Are My Rock", "Possessionless", "Angels In the Room", "Butterfly", "Together We Are One", "Turn You Away", "Butterfly", "A Little Too Late", "Hypnotized", "Rise", "Safe To Believe", "War On Love".* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "So! go! ahead!, take! her! to! your! bed!!!" in "Alcohol". and "May! I! Remind! You!, Who! I Was! Before! YOOOOOOOOOOU!" in "Control".* RageQuit: During her Mistaken Identity era where she was getting heaped with negative hype backlash and judgements based upon her getting into a relationship with a married man she quit in this style. Later on in Delta era she quit in frustration over not making it in America fast enough. Child Of the Universe got same treatment.* RapunzelHair: She said when she lost her hair due to cancer treatment she lost some sort of protection around her and made sure to grow her hair long and blonde extra quick. Half way 2005 she almost had almost all her hair back and by the time ''Delta'' era happened she had it all back like nothing happened.* TheRival: Originally had a failed rivalry with Music/MissyHiggins for the Australian songwriter princess title. Now they kind of do they're own things separate of each other.* RockStarSong: "Electric Storm", "The Riddle", "Mistaken Identity", "This Is Not Me", "In My Own Time", "War On Love", "Dancing With A Broken Heart", "Daughter".* RunningGag: Unintentionally her fourth album was coming "Soon" for about two years+* RuleOfSymbolism: Most of her first and second, albums, lyrically/musically.** "Dancing With A Broken Heart", "Out Of The Blue", "Believe Again", "Sitting On Top of the World", Not Me Not I, Mistaken Identity videos.** "Bare Hands", "Possessionless", "The Guardian", "God Laughs", "Angels In The Room", off her third SelfTitledAlbum.* {{Revenge}}: A good 6 tracks off her new album are written purely for revenge, and 3 b-sides/bonus tracks also apply. This is also features in her first two albums. The songs are: "Not Me Not I", "Throw It Away", "Predictable", "Nobody Listened", "Miscommunication", "Silence Be Heard", "Hunters and the Wolves", "I Lost All Love 4 You", "Control", "When My Stars Come Out", "Knocked Out", "Alcohol", "No Communication", "Waiting For Forever".* RearrangeTheSong: The album version of "Dancing With a Broken Heart" uses a different, much softer, better developed instrumental to the single mix. Also constantly through out her tours, remixing random songs together, putting caberet edges to classical songs.* RealSoonNow: For over three years Delta's fourth album was coming in the next six months.* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: "Not Me Not I", "Silence Be Heard", "Nobody Listened", "Throw It Away", "You Will Only Break My Heart", "Dancing With A Broken Heart", "Alcohol", "Hunters and The Wolves", "Control", "I Lost All Love 4 You".* RefrainFromAssuming: "Hypnotized" has "Deeper In Love" repeated A LOT!* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Had to be written out of {{Neighbours}} due to getting cancer. Rewrote ''Child Of the Universe'' three times due to various issues within her private life.* ReplacementGoldfish : ''Two'' women's careers have sprung in the hiatus following the ''Delta'' era:** Music/GabriellaCilmi -- with a super successful single, praised vocals and lyrics and an album which lead to a quick NewSoundAlbum which suffered hype backlash/aversion** Music/VanessaAmorosi -- Kiss Your Mama! relaunched her career as a singer songwriter and "This Is Who I Am" and it's album ''Hazardous'' is so much darker and edgier then the previous re-debut* SanitySlippageSong : "Nobody Listened", "Disorientated", "Running Away", "Waiting For Forever", "Dancing With A Broken Heart", "Mistaken Identity", "Extraordinary Day", "The Analyst", "War On Love", "Control","Daughter", "Dancing With A Broken Heart", "Speed Of Life", "Alcohol", "I Lost All Love 4 U"* SarcasmMode: Invoked in the pitched up version of "Out of the Blue" at her Believe Again tour.* SelfTitledAlbum: Her third album is this.* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: "One Day," "Born To Try," "Waiting For Forever," "When My Stars Come Out," "In My Own Time," "Flawed" and "A Little Too Late".** ''Wings of the Wild'' is so chock-filled with them it could almost be considered a ConceptAlbum.* SelfBackingVocalist: "Not Me Not I" has her voice double tracked, amongst others.* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Child Of the Universe'' is a superior follow up to many of themes and songs on ''Mistaken Identity'', ** "War On Love" deals with the pressure of having a love affair in the public eye, just like "Electric Storm", ** "Speed Of Life" deals with her very deep thought processes sometimes and feel frightened of life, just like "Fragile", ** "Dancing With A Broken Heart" deals with dealing with people who were bad friends, as does "Nobody Listened" on ''Mistaken Identity.''** "Hunters And the Wolves" deals with finding freedom and being young/flirty just like "A Little Too Late" does on ''Mistaken Identity,'' and "Fever" does on ''Delta'' 07.** "Touch" could be seen as a follow up to the themes on "Innocent Eyes".* SpokenWordInMusic: "Disoriented" to be strange on purpose.** Often during live shows she'll point out how this song is her attempt to do RNB, or that this part in the Break down, or how she forgot the lyrics for this part of the song, or how weird she finds part of the process of performing or just general chit chat with either her band or her audience.* ShoutOut: "Flawed" music video has a shout out to ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' and ''TheChroniclesOfNarnia.''** "Dancing With A Broken Heart" has a couple of visual shout outs to Music/BritneySpears and her video for "Criminal."* StrictlyFormula: Open every era with a happy inspirational song, and then turn in some darker more epic, and more honest tracks for single number 2.* StageMom: Her mother managed her from '01 to '05 and this would explain her habit of DevelopmentHell-ing her albums.* SerialRomeo / InLoveWithLove / [[GirlOfTheWeek Boy Of the Week]]/ Serial Monogamy: Has not been single properly since she was 16. May have tapered out, since she got rid of Brian, but now she keeps that part of her life locked up from the public and to a degree her fans.* SlutShaming: In a recent interview stated that she was focusing on "Family friendliness" and "Wouldn't make her shows sexy" and "Didn't want to be that "Type" of artist" and "wouldn't involve any "sexy" songs on her albums" cuz she wants to keep that "Family friendly" audience, unlike Music/LadyGaga and Britney Spears.** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted--"Slut" Praising as it were]]--in "Hunters And the Wolves," where she indicates she wants to get it on with a lot of men, if only for {{Revenge}}.* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "I'm Not Ready" is the only real ballad on the ''Child Of the Universe'' album. * SillyLoveSongs: "Sitting On Top of the World", "Beautiful Madness", "Out Of The Blue", "If I Forget", "Right Here In My Heart", "Without Words", "Take Me Home", "Will You Fall For Me", "Longer", "Days Go By", "Sanctuary", "I'll Be Yours", "Rise", "Safe To Believe", "Hypnotized", "War On Love".* SubDuedSection: "Sitting On Top Of the World," "Possessionless" and "Touch" amongst others.* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "Knocked Out" is about a specific situation** "There's only one way I can live and that's my way"** "I know where I wanna go, that's up to me"** "Might not be there you know but I will be"** "There's always something in the way if you let it stop you"* SlapSlapKiss: Implied in "Alcohol", "Control", "I'm Not Ready", "Predictable", "I Lost all Love 4 You" and others...* SmarterThanYouLook: ''Child Of The Universe'' comes from her educating herself on metaphysics and the title track discusses how we are all connected.* TallPoppySyndrome / HypeBacklash: Got this from all sides when her ''Mistaken Identity'' album came out, after the immense success of ''Innocent Eyes''.* TakeThat: Told an interviewer that she felt trapped while with Music/BrianMcFadden and implied he was controlling and manipulative. Confirmed it later on during tracks like "Control" and "I Lost All Love 4 You"** "Silence Be Heard" (Ex boyfriend), "Knocked Out" (Australian media) "Dancing With A Broken Heart" (Ex entourage and fiance), "Nobody Listened" (Her entourage pre-cancer) and "This Is Not Me" (Her former management), "Control", "Alcohol", "Hunters And The Wolves", "Waiting For Forever", "War On Love", "I Lost All Love 4 You", "Uncovered", "No Communication", "When My Stars Come Out" (Ex fiance) but being a songwriter she does this a lot.** Also see her quote above under SlutShaming.* ThirdPersonPerson: "The Analyst" is written in third person:---> Prepare yourself to meet, '''the girl''' who cannot sleep, ---> Every twisted tongue, she studies everyone, '''she''' won't leave any stone unturned** "Uncovered" also delves into this--> "I found a girl inside of me--> That I've been missing for so long"--> I told her that I'd never leave".** "Safe To Believe" also does this. "She felt like a secret, hiding behind closed doors" * TitleOnlyChorus: "You Will Only Break My Heart".* TitleTrack: albums 1, 2, and 4* TheUnfettered: Tends to get lost in her own "creative world" for years at a time. She lampshaded it in a recent interview. She's good at the arty side but her celebrity/fame and business side don't matter to her. She sometimes forgets to inform her fans of details she knows, she's working on this though.* WillNotBeAVictim: Now goes out of her way to ensure people don't victimize her. She simply says "There's nothing wrong with being a good person" and be done with it.* WomanScorned: "Not Me Not I", "Nobody Listened", "You Will Only Break My Heart", the Guardian, "Woman", "Silence Be Heard", "Predictable", "I Lost All Love 4 You", "Control", "Dancing With A Broken Heart", "Alcohol", "Hunters And The Wolves", "When My Stars Come Out"* WoundedGazelleGambit: Used to often brings up her DarkAndTroubledPast and various personal and private issues. (2005-2011) * WordSaladLyrics / WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs?: "The Riddle" is this.---> I like Mars, it's the reason I am here---> which I am there, Where does it appear?** "Hunters And The Wolves" also could give of this vibe: ---> I fought for you/I went to war in a battle of two---> And in many years in solitary/I'm captured by the enemy---> I tried, I tried, everything just to survive/I'm living the life of someone else who wouldn't even save himself * VocalEvolution: She went from deep but youthful in ''Innocent Eyes'' to soft and emotional in ''Mistaken Identity'', to robotic, vocal gymnastic-like CelineDion in her third self titled album, went back to a strong but emotional way of singing in ''Child of The Universe''* UnusualEuphemism: "We'll play my game of Hide And Seek" in Hunters And the Wolves"* UnkemptBeauty: One thing her fans all agree upon.* UnpluggedVersion: ''Child Of The Universe'' and ''Innocent Eyes'' both had "acoustic" versions released. Never mind the acoustic sections of her tours.* XtremeKoolLetterz: "I Lost All Love 4 U" * YourCheatingHeart: On her debut: "My Big Mistake", her being at fault.** "God Laughs" is about her father cheating.

The strength is in numbers for the Oakdale High swimming program. Not just the numbers of the program's size, but the times the teams posted in its Valley Oak League program sweep of the Sierra Timberwolves Tuesday.
RIPON – The Escalon baseball team came into Tuesday's Trans Valley League contest with Ripon undefeated, and nothing changed for the Cougars after a 10-0 shutout engineered by senior pitcher Matt Valencia's no-hitter.
Jorge Sierra came through with the clinching point for Manteca High's boys tennis team Tuesday at Kimball.
The Manteca Buffaloes used a solid outing from Peyton Rose Tuesday, stopping the Lathrop Spartans 7-2 in Valley Oak League action.
East Union High's boys golfers had solid contributions up and down their lineup in a 202-292 win over Weston Ranch at Van Buskirk Golf Course Tuesday.
Throughout Ripon High's 2011-12 wrestling season, several components fell into place at the right time.
The McNair Invitational was the first 18-hole event for East Union and Manteca High's boys teams this season, and coaches from both programs came away pleased on Monday.
One of the short-term goals coach Justin Coenenberg has set for Manteca High's girls soccer team is to keep every team it faces scoreless through the first half of its Valley Oak League schedule.
It is one thing to follow the path and end the journey where so many before have traveled.
Nine boys tennis teams hailing from leagues in the southern half of the Sac-Joaquin Section converged on the courts of Manteca High for the first Manteca Invitational Friday.
After suffering through the wrong end of a perfect game the Weston Ranch Cougars responded, asserting themselves as a viable Valley Oak League threat in a 4-1 victory over the Manteca Buffaloes Friday in Stockton.
LATHROP – After taking a fifth inning lead in Friday's back-and-forth Valley Oak League contest with Kimball High, the Lathrop Spartans fell apart, giving up back-to-back four run innings to close out an 11-3 loss Friday.

Another day, another win for the Valley Oak League leading Manteca High boys tennis team.

Welcome to Spiel, the JC's blog.
Remembrance is not static - it bridges that gap between the past and the nowCharlotte Oliver
Oct 20, 2015
Every night, without fail, the bugles begin.
Come winter's chill or summer's balm, their notes play and echo around the Belgian town of Ypres. A town whose magnificent steeple and quaint, quiet streets of shops and cafes belie a war-torn history.
It was here, 100 years ago, that allied soldiers made their march towards the front line of battle. It was also here that artillery fire blazed high and wide from every side. By the end of the First World War, the town was almost completely laid to waste and erased from the modern map.
My brave mum's fight for herself and others is inspirationalMaryon Stewart
Oct 19, 2015
I took time out from my schedule to be my mum's personal PR Officer for the last few weeks. She's 84 and has terminal ovarian cancer. On the day they told her that she's coming to the end of her life 2a>she decided to do a sky dive to raise funds for research 2b>so that women with ovarian cancer have a better chance of survival long after she is gone. At first I thought she was joking; but she was deadly serious, because she wanted to give back and felt she had nothing to lose.
She has been receiving treatment from the Royal Marsden Hospital in Fulham for nearly two years. First she had six sessions of chemo, followed by a huge operation, and then another six sessions of chemo. That controlled the cancer for a few months, but sadly it began growing again and none of the treatments tried since have managed to control it.
Essentially, she's been presented with a really difficult challenge, both physically and mentally, and the way she has dealt with it has been completely inspirational.
In days gone by my mum would have perhaps been anxious and tearful, but instead she transformed into a zen-like Elder and has been an amazing example to us all. In the extra two years her doctor Professor Gore and his team at the Royal Marsden Hospital have given her, she has experienced so much personal joy through her family. She became a great-grandmother for the first time when my daughter Phoebe had baby Marnie. A few months later my eldest son Chesney married a wonderful young woman called Laura, who absolutely adores my mother. Her two grandchildren in Australia Emile and Chessca graduated from university and lastly - but by no means least in my world - I got engaged to a wonderful man.
When Twitter really was a community social networkJessica Weinstein
Oct 16, 2015
Today I helped man the JC's Twitter takeover with the Chief Rabbi. As media partners of ShabbatUK, the theme of the takeover was Shabbat, and readers and Twitter users were encouraged to take part using the hashtag #weloveshabbat.
Before he arrived there was a lot of activity in the office – tidying stacks of paper, cleaning desks, setting up food (this is a Jewish office after all). Staff members were debating whether to wear kippot and how to address him. It's a weird phenomenon that people in the public eye take on an almost other-worldly quality when you meet them – and the fact that the Chief Rabbi came with his own security convoy to scope out the building didn't help to lessen this!
After a couple of weeks of our Twitter feed being unfortunately filled with harrowing and frankly scary headlines, it was nice to fill it with – as trite as this might sound – happy thoughts, messages of peace - and cholent recipes.
Why did Theresa May change her mind on immigrants?Josh Jackman
Oct 7, 2015
Three months ago, Home Secretary Theresa May 2a>told 420 guests at Hasmonean High School's annual fundraising dinner 2b> that Britain was better off for immigrants - in fact, that diversity was the very reason for our success as a nation.
Speaking with pride and certainty, she declared: "Britain is an amazing country, a thriving liberal country precisely because of the cooperation between peoples of different faiths and backgrounds.
"It is at the heart of what makes this country such a great place to live, and is something we must always work hard to protect."
Advance for women at HampsteadSimon Rocker
Sep 18, 2015
Hampstead Synagogue's new scholar-in-residence ought to prompt more than passing interest.
Dina Brawer,who will teach at the US congregation over the coming year, is an experienced educator.
But her appointment might raise an eyebrow or two elsewhere among the US rabbinate.
Maccabi Tel Aviv were like rabbits caught in headlightsDanny Caro
Sep 17, 2015
It was a bit like watching the school bully in the playground.
Maccabi backed off and backed off until the bully hit them. Not once, but four times. And there were more than a few near misses too. In the end Chelsea were toying with them. And they didn't need to break sweat.
After 11 years in the wilderness of Europe's elite, this was embarrassingly easy for Chelsea. Men against boys.
As Jews we should be outraged that Britain is not doing more to help refugeesJosh Jackman
Sep 3, 2015
This could have been you. This could have been your family. In another time, during another war, while other people suffered this fate.
These are humans, escaping death, poverty and the destruction of their homelands, risking everything they have to search for safety.
Not for benefits, not for jobs or streets paved with gold. They come because the alternative is horrifying.
It is time to hush up the fear of exams and envelopesCharlotte Oliver
Aug 18, 2015
Envelopes still make me anxious.
Eight years may have passed since I sat my A-Levels – but believe me, the foreboding still festers.
I feel it as summertime beckons and April showers slip into the month of May, bringing with it the haunting flashback of devising revision timetables and committing myself to life chez library.
Should a charity ever turn down money?Josh Jackman
Aug 12, 2015
Not accepting money from a convicted paedophile sounds like a sensible idea,1a> particularly for a children's charity1b>.
But beyond the initial gut reaction, which is understandable - what justification is there for denying the most vulnerable children across the UK the care they desperately need?
Barnardo's works to banish the horrors of poverty, sexual exploitation, disability and domestic violence from the lives of children. For sure, it would be a PR disaster for the organisation to accept money from former Hasmonean pupil Miles Esterson, but cutting funding for these services cannot be the better option.
PC Rashty? It's no job for a nice Jewish girlSandy Rashty
Aug 6, 2015
I have a confession to make.
I once dreamed of joining the Metropolitan Police. It sounded like a wonderful career opportunity, a chance to make a difference and help people more vulnerable than myself.
I thought of rescuing children who had been born into abusive homes, or women who were victims of domestic violence. I felt I had the strength of character and right demeanour to make a good officer. The danger the profession posed and the attacks officers face on a day to day basis, came, rightly or wrongly, as an afterthought.

Industry Backing Distorts Drill Debate
Ronald Fraser, Buffalo News
Officials in Albany will soon decide whether to authorize horizontal hydraulic fracturing, a controversial gas drilling process. While citizens have written thousands of letters to the governor and the Department of Environmental Conservation protesting the health and environmental risks associated with fracking, the gas industry has been busy writing checks to Albany decision-makers. . .

Yes, you can have as many subscriptions as you like. If you're calling different countries, you can buy a subscription for calls to each of them. To buy more than one subscription, simply complete the purchase of your first one and start over by selecting a new country.
If you buy an identical subscription to one you already have (the same country and same number of minutes), the second subscription will only become active when the billing period for the first subscription expires, and not when the first subscription has run out of minutes. For example, if you have a pay-monthly Brazil 60 minutes subscription starting on the 1st of the month, and you buy another Brazil 60 minutes subscription, you won't be able to use the second subscription until the 1st of the following month.
Need more minutes?
If you run out of minutes part-way through the subscription period, we recommend that you buy a different subscription covering calls to the same country. That way, the second subscription will become active as soon as you have used up all the minutes in the first subscription.
For example, if you buy a Brazil 60 minutes subscription on the 1st of the month, and use all your minutes by the 15th, you can buy a Brazil 120 minutes subscription and start using it right away. You don't have to wait until the billing period for the first subscription has come to an end. Be sure to cancel the first subscription if you don't want it to renew.
If you prefer not to buy another subscription, you can use Skype Credit for your calls until your subscription renews.
If you have more than one subscription covering calls to the same country, Skype uses them in the following order:
Example 1 You have an Unlimited Europe subscription and a UK 60 minutes subscription. If you make a call to a UK number, the Unlimited Europe subscription will be used first, as this has the most minutes. Example 2 You have an India 120 minutes subscription expiring on the 12th of the month and an India 800 minutes subscription expiring on the 25th. If you make a call to India on the 10th, the India 120 subscription will be used first because this expires sooner. Browse our subscriptions Need to update your payment method? Find out how.

Fond du Lac Ave. art project; flamenco guitar performance
Ties that bind
Fond du Lac Ave. ties Milwaukee's downtown to the northwest side of the city. And the In:Site temporary public art project to be on display along the avenue from 17th to 37th streets hopes to tie together the people of those neighborhoods and the rest of the city. "Art on Fond du Lac" features thought-provoking installations that put a spotlight on the area and the needs of the people who call it home. Included in the projects are a sculptural urban greenhouse by George Jones; a tribute to Mattiebelle Woods, the first lady of Milwaukee's black press; and a painting on the avenue itself (at its intersection with Locust St.) by Reggie Baylor. »Read Full Article

"The Happiest I've Been" is that rare thing, a literary short story of quality with an unforced happy ending. In his book "Updike: America's Man of Letters," William H. Pritchard calls "Happiest" the "concluding and best story in 'The Same Door,' " Updike's first story collection. Pritchard is far from the only admirer of this gentle story. »Read Full Blog Post

Rogue Warrior
Rogue Warrior, an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC tactical shooter with some interesting multiplayer hooks, features maps made up of 200 different tiles. Instead of selecting individual maps, teams decide on individual tiles. These tiles are then joined together by the game to produce the map, meaning you are forced to become skilled at playing the game, not knowing the map.

Video: Mayweather vs. Guerrero, Mares-Ponce Weigh-In
By Rick Reeno
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Before a packed crowd of thousands, WBC welterweight chaampion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26KOs) weighed in at 146-pounds, while mandatory challenger Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (31-1-1, 18KOs) was 147 on the scale. Mayweather is making $32 million for the fight, according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, and Guerrero is listed for a guarantee of $3 million. Both fighters will make more from the Showtime pay-per-view revenues.
For the NABF middleweight title, Gabriel Rosado was 160.5-pounds on his first try and weighed 160 on his second try. Undefeated J'Leon Love was 161.5-pounds, also over the limit and had one hour to shed the overage. Love came back and made the weight.
WBC featherweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon stepped on the scale at the division limit of 126-pounds, and former two division champion Abner Mares also weighed in at 126-pounds.

First it was Western Michigan coach Bill Cubit. Then it was Tulsa's Todd Graham. This week it's Utah's Kyle Whittingham, whose squad's national title hopes were reduced to ashes last week in a 47-7 loss to Texas Christian, turn to opine about Old Notre Dame.
"When you think of Notre Dame, you think of the Four Horsemen, Knute Rockne, `Rudy' the movie -- that was one of my favorite movies," Whittingham said. "I saw that a bunch. The tradition, the guys they had there -- Joe Montana, Joe Theisman. That's everything that embodies what Notre Dame is."
Or what it used to be. The Fighting Irish (4-5) enter Saturday's game against the 15th-ranked Utes (8-1) having lost 11 straight against top-25 opponents and with postseason hopes on a morphine drip.
"They are 4-5 and have lost a couple in a row," Whittingham said. "Their quarterback was injured against Tulsa, but backup Tommy Rees came in and did a fairly good job. They have a tremendous receiver in Michael Floyd. He has caught over 50 balls. They have good size up front and good size on defense. Manti Te'o is a big, physical presence in the middle. It's just what you expect out of Notre Dame."
Utah defensive end Christian Cox will decide for himself when the team will take an uncharacteristic walk-through at Notre Dame Stadium Friday.
"You get to relax and see what their stadium is really like and see if it's all that it's cracked up to be," he told the Deseret News.
Whittingham's task this week was to keep his team from fracturing to pieces after an eviscerating loss to the Horned Frogs.
"That's when we need our leadership to step forward," he said. "It is nowhere near as much of a necessity as when you are fighting through adversity. We will find out what we are made of this weekend and the leaders need to step to the forefront. We got whipped and we can't feel sorry for ourselves, and we need to move on."
Easier said than done. Center Zane Taylor sure thinks so.
"Football is what I am," he said. "It's what I do and it defines me as a person. So to have so much riding on that game and to lose so badly, it hurts. Right now, I still feel kind of sick to my stomach thinking about the game."
