The host Red Devils won their fourth consecutive sectional title and its 18th in school history against Clarksville on Friday.
It certainly wasn't Jeff's easiest championship.
The Red Devils won 3-2 and, without No. 1 singles star Morgan Reilly, had to hold off Clarksville at No. 2 doubles to clinch the championship.
"We had a tougher time against Clarksville than even Providence," Jeff coach Mark Reilly said. "They're underrated. They made good adjustments."
Morgan Reilly dislocated her knee while up 4-2 against Jacqueline Hollkamp of Providence on Tuesday. Her availabilty for next Tuesday's Silver Creek Regional opener is in question.
"With Morgan having knee issues and on crutches for tongihts match, it definitly brought a bigger challenge then what we had hope for, but the girls pulled through," Coach Reilly said.
At No. 2 doubles, Rachel Williams and Larissa Neville won the final three games of the second set to come back from down 4-3 for a 6-1, 6-4 victory to seal the victory.
Macy Lancaster remained unbeaten on the season with a 6-0, 6-2 win over Clarksville freshman Miranda DeKorte at No. 2 singles.
Emily Lewis and Jules Jenks easily won at No. 1 doubles, 6-0, 6-1, over Bailey Duggan and Jenni Goldman. Coach Reilly said Lewis played some of her best tennis of the season.
"Emily Lewis played very well," he said. "She was hitting major ground strokes from the baseline and was dominating."
Clarksville's wins came from Chloe Stephens at No. 1 singles and junior Abigail Hurtgen at No. 3 singles. Stephens earned a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Katie Bowen, who was substituting for Reilly. Hurtgen beat Kaitlin Wunsch 6-3, 7-5.
Silver Creek won its 20th sectional title in school history — all in the last 21 years — and its 11th straight with a 4-1 win over Charlestown on Friday.
The Dragons won at No. 1 and No. 2 singles and doubles for the comfortable win.
Both Silver Creek No. 1s won 6-0, 6-0. Kat Hebble at No. 1 singles defeated Erika Broady and Rebekah Knittle and Jenny Block swept Bailey Masingo and Hayley Trinkle.
Grace Clayton took the No. 2 singles win, 6-2, 6-2 over Sarah Embry and Kelsi Scott and Katy Hawkins beat Suzannah Fielding and Bekah Keith 6-0, 7-5 at No. 2 doubles.
Megan Crawford gave the Pirates their one win with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-0 triumph over Gabby Dunn at No. 3 singles.
Sixth-ranked Floyd Central dropped just three games to beat Salem 5-0 for its 13th sectional title in a row and its 26th in program history.
"We've only had three or four girls who have won a sectional, so this is a big event for us," Floyd coach Rick Miller said. "Anybody who wins a sectional in any sports at any place in any state, it's special. We don't take anything for granted.
Olivia Boesing at No. 1 singles and Alex Jamison at No. 3 singles both won 6-0, 6-0. No. 2 singles player Alexis Applegate and both Highlander doubles teams gave up just one game apiece.
"We're pleased but we're not satisfied," Miller said. "Now we want to go win regional and semistate."

John Tuzo Wilson, CC, OBE, FRS,[1] FRSC, FRSE (October 24, 1908 – April 15, 1993) was a Canadian geophysicist and geologist who achieved worldwide acclaim for his contributions to the theory of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics is the idea that the rigid outer layers of the Earth (crust and part of the upper mantle), the lithosphere, are broken up into numerous pieces or "plates" that move independently over the weaker asthenosphere. Wilson maintained that the Hawaiian Islands were created as a tectonic plate (extending across much of the Pacific Ocean) which shifted to the northwest over a fixed hotspot, spawning a long series of volcanoes. He also conceived of the transform fault, a major plate boundary where two plates move past each other horizontally (e.g., the San Andreas Fault). His name was given to two young Canadian submarine volcanoes called the Tuzo Wilson Seamounts.[3] The Wilson cycle of seabed expansion and contraction (also conversely called the Supercontinent cycle) bears his name.
Birth, education and military[edit]
Wilson's father was of Scottish descent and his mother was a third-generation Canadian of French Huguenot descent. He was born in Ottawa, Ontario. He became one of the first people in Canada to receive a degree in geophysics, graduating from Trinity College at the University of Toronto in 1930.[4] He obtained various other related degrees from St. John's College, Cambridge. His academic years culminated in his obtaining a doctorate in geology in 1936 from Princeton University. After completing his studies, Wilson enlisted in the Canadian Army and served in World War II. He retired from the army with the rank of Colonel.
Career and awards[edit]
In 1969, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and was promoted to the rank of Companion of that order in 1974.[5] Wilson was awarded the John J. Carty Award from the National Academy of Sciences in 1975.[6] In 1978, he was awarded the Wollaston Medal of the Geological Society of London and a Gold Medal by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.He also served as Honorary Vice President of the RCGS.[7] He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and of the Royal Society of London.[8][9] He was the Principal of Erindale College at the University of Toronto and was the host of the television series, The Planet of Man.
He also served as the Director General of the Ontario Science Centre from 1974-1985. He and his plate tectonic theory are commemorated on the grounds outside by the Centre by a giant "immovable" spike indicating the amount of continental drift since Wilson's birth.
The eponymous John Tuzo Wilson Medal of the Canadian Geophysical Union recognizes achievements in geophysics.

Pros: Runs cool and cannot hear it over CPU fan. Cons: At this price and point of time buy a 760. Did you find this review helpful? |
MSI cheap/bad fansPros: was less expensive than the GTX 660ti Cons: Does not have dust off technology where the fans spin reverse at startup which the other 660 models do have. Other Thoughts: This is my second MSI card in 2 years, and my last. My 560 fan has died, and my 660 fans are already making tons of noise. Rattles on and off. I rarely use these computers and the graphics cards are the only issues. Makes it a real pain when everything is reliable other than MSI. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
AWESOME!!!!!!Pros: I have this card paired with a FX8350 and 12gb of Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz RAM and it plays just about everything at ultra setting. Just awesome. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Linux desktop cardPros: Fast, quiet, energy-efficient. Excellent Linux drivers. Fast, smooth and reliable running Gnome desktop. Outstanding cooler for a card at this price point. Cons: Overkill for the non-gamer. If MSI had offered a Twin Frozr version of the GTX 650 for $50 less that would have been perfect for my needs. Other Thoughts: If you're building a silent Linux desktop graphics card this is an excellent choice. Yes, you can get passive cards for less money, but they're slower and run a lot hotter. This card is for all practical purposes inaudible in everyday use, and its temperatures stay around 12°C above ambient. Did you find this review helpful? |
MSI GTX 660Pros: I have waited about 3 months to write a review to see if my thoughts would change over time.. So far It has far exceeded my expectations! This is the quietest gpu I have ever owned, and that in part is why I bought it. I own a SG-05BB mini itx case and quiet and portability is really important to me! Even when under load and not having the best airflow for a mini itx case(Stock), It stays Cool and quiet under heavy load while playing Battlefield 3. 62*C is the highest it has reached! Now my cpu(Core i5 3350p) on the other hand gets pretty hot with the stock cooler when running bf3, (75*c). But I can play BF3 multiplayer 1920x1080 at absolute MAXIMUM settings including 4xAA/8xTXAA/16AF at around 50 fps average, 35 fps lowest! Smooth! Metro 2033 plays great also at maximum but with the TXAA setting(Alot less taxing), at about 45 fps. Tomb Raider at maximum everything about 120 fps average! Now everyone of these games never drop below 30 fps! I see my friends with gtx 690/2 7970's and all really high end hardware, There really isn't much of a need for all of that unless you plan on playing with 8x AA and beyond or on a multi-monitor/beyond 1920x1080 screen! Cons: Not a thing! Other Thoughts: I am actually glad I didn't got with a higher end card. At this point there really isn't a need for more power! It still plays the newest games out there at maximum settings! Did you find this review helpful? |
Great card, Great pricePros: Card idles at 20C with fan set to 65%. Highest temp I saw after 4 hours of raiding in WoW was 38C. Cons: None. Maybe no case sticker. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great CardPros: Absolutely wonderful card. The Twin Frozr cooler keeps this card ridiculously cool and quiet compared to the blower-style fans some other cards have. Only requires one PCI-E power connector. Performs very well, plays all games I've tried on high to max settings at 1080 with ease and never even breaks a sweat. Cons: Not the best to overclock. I've been using MSI Afterburner for the first time alongside this card and it only lets me get to 110% of the card's power (1150MHz core), so maybe there's a setting I haven't found yet. Otherwise no other real problems. Other Thoughts: I never had any issue with the firmware as others have. Just plugged it in, installed the drivers, and away I went. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
ExcellentPros: It's powerful. Upgraded from an old Asus Nvidia GTX260 and made quite a difference. Most games are now maxed out or on very high settings in the most demanding of them. It is very quiet and cool insomuch that I've left it on automatic fan settings with MSI afterburner because I don't even need to adjust it. Idle temps are high 20c or low 30c with the highest temps I've seen after a few hours of gaming to be around 50C and still inaudible. Cons: -- Price? It needs to drop at least $10-20 as it's too close to the HD7870 which is a tiny bit better at stock but have a huge legroom when overclocked. Not to mention the recent AMD driver updates hugely optimized the HD7xxx cards and boosted their performance by up to 15% in some cases! Other Thoughts: Intel Core i7-920 @ 3.6ghz 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
May need firmware updatesPros: beautifully crafted, quiet at idle Cons: incompatible with some bios (online tech suppt is fast but not fully informed, email firstname.lastname@example.com and they're on top of it but take a day, great folks). My mobo isn't one of the named ones but had an ami P01-a1 bios and conflicted (hard). Other Thoughts: Lovely piece of hardware, and tech suppt is great (albeit the online tech support was unable to help me, but the email above led to folks who could have helped if I'd reached them sooner). Be very careful if you have certain bios, but I think it's workable even w/ that with this info. Good luck. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Very NicePros: Fast Cons: None so far. After about a month and a half of use I've encountered no problems. Other Thoughts: I average about 50-60fps (with adaptive v-sync on) in BF3 Did you find this review helpful? |

Even new moms need some fun, and if that fun happens to look like a mythological Norse deity, then all the better. Us Weekly says Charlize Theron, who recently adopted infant son Jackson, enjoyed another date earlier this month with "True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgard.
The ridiculously pretty and statuesque pair were first linked in early March, when they were spied "holding hands and staring into each other's eyes" (per the National Enquirer) at a Los Angeles gay bar, a location ostensibly chosen for its privacy.
On this latest outing, several pals accompanied Charlize, 36, and A.Skars, 35, to the SoHo House in Los Angeles, where the actress "rested her head on his shoulder and they looked very couple-y," an eyewitness tells Us.
And though the fair-haired, genetically superior stars are also rumored to have rendezvoused at the Chateau Marmont a few days back, a Theron confidant plays down the romance.
"It isn't serious," maintains the insider. "And no, he has not met the baby!"
Skarsgard has been single since splitting from Kate Bosworth last summer, which was right around the time Theron briefly dated Ryan Reynolds, her first major hookup following the end of her 9-year relationship with Stuart Townsend in early 2010.
She has also denied reports linking her to longtime friend (and sometime co-star) Keanu Reeves, whose name is once again being tossed into the suitor ring, this time courtesy of In Touch.
"They were friends with benefits in the past, but now it's something more," a source alleges to the tab, which claims that Charlize considers Keanu "dad material" and has him changing diapers and putting together baby furniture.
But a Theron insider scoffs at the report, telling Gossip Cop, "No way."

Models of the Structure and Gating Mechanisms of the Pore Domain of the NaChBac Ion Channel Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 8, 15 October 2008, Pages 3650-3662 Yinon Shafrir, Stewart R. Durell and H. Robert Guy Abstract The NaChBac prokaryotic sodium channel appears to be a descendent of an evolutionary link between voltage-gated KV and CaV channels. Like KV channels, four identical six-transmembrane subunits comprise the NaChBac channel, but its selectivity filter possesses a signature sequence of eukaryotic CaV channels. We developed structural models of the NaChBac channel in closed and open conformations, using K+-channel crystal structures as initial templates. Our models were also consistent with numerous experimental results and modeling criteria. This study concerns the pore domain. The major differences between our models and K+ crystal structures involve the latter portion of the selectivity filter and the bend region in S6 of the open conformation. These NaChBac models may serve as a stepping stone between K+ channels of known structure and NaV, CaV, and TRP channels of unknown structure. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1538 kb) |
Acidic Residues on the Voltage-Sensor Domain Determine the Activation of the NaChBac Sodium Channel Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 10, 15 May 2007, Pages 3513-3523 Jonathan Blanchet, Sylvie Pilote and Mohamed Chahine Abstract The voltage-sensing domain of voltage-gated ion channels is characterized by specific, conserved, charged residues. Positively charged residues on segment S4 are the main contributors to voltage-sensing and negatively charged residues on the S2 and S3 segments are believed to participate to the process. However, their function in the voltage sensor is not well understood. To probe the role of three acidic residues in NaChBac (D-58 and E-68 in S2, 9/22/2008and D-91 in S3), we employed site-directed mutagenesis to substitute native acidic residues with cysteine (neutral), lysine (positive charge), or either aspartate or glutamate (negative charge). We used a combination of the patch-clamp technique to record Na+ currents and molecular modeling to visualize interacting amino acid residues. We suggest that the acidic residues on the S2 and S3 segments form specific interactions with adjacent amino acids in the voltage-sensor domain. The main interactions in NaChBac are D-58 (S2) with A-97-G-98 (S3) and R-120 (S4), E-68 (S2) with R-129 (L4-5), and D-91 (S3) with R-72 (S2). Changing these acidic residues modified the interactions, which in turn altered the sensitivity of the voltage sensor. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (519 kb) |
Models of Voltage-Dependent Conformational Changes in NaChBac Channels Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 8, 15 October 2008, Pages 3663-3676 Yinon Shafrir, Stewart R. Durell and H. Robert Guy Abstract Models of the transmembrane region of the NaChBac channel were developed in two open/inactivated and several closed conformations. Homology models of NaChBac were developed using crystal structures of Kv1.2 and a Kv1.2/2.1 chimera as templates for open conformations, and MlotiK and KcsA channels as templates for closed conformations. Multiple molecular-dynamic simulations were performed to refine and evaluate these models. A striking difference between the S4 structures of the Kv1.2-like open models and MlotiK-like closed models is the secondary structure. In the open model, the first part of S4 forms an α-helix, and the last part forms a 310 helix, whereas in the closed model, the first part of S4 forms a 310 helix, and the last part forms an α-helix. A conformational change that involves this type of transition in secondary structure should be voltage-dependent. However, this transition alone is not sufficient to account for the large gating charge movement reported for NaChBac channels and for experimental results in other voltage-gated channels. To increase the magnitude of the motion of S4, we developed another model of an open/inactivated conformation, in which S4 is displaced farther outward, and a number of closed models in which S4 is displaced farther inward. A helical screw motion for the α-helical part of S4 and a simple axial translation for the 310 portion were used to develop models of these additional conformations. In our models, four positively charged residues of S4 moved outwardly during activation, across a transition barrier formed by highly conserved hydrophobic residues on S1, S2, and S3. The S4 movement was coupled to an opening of the activation gate formed by S6 through interactions with the segment linking S4 to S5. Consistencies of our models with experimental studies of NaChBac and Kv channels are discussed. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1572 kb) |

Kinetics and voltage dependence of inactivation of a prokaryotic voltage-gated sodium channel (NaChBac) were investigated in an effort to understand its molecular mechanism. NaChBac inactivation kinetics show strong, bell-shaped voltage dependence with characteristic time constants ranging from ∼50ms at depolarized voltages to a maximum of ∼100s at the inactivation midpoint. Activation and inactivation parameters for four different covalently linked tandem dimer or tandem tetramer constructs were indistinguishable from those of the wild-type channel. Point mutations in the outer part of the pore revealed an important influence of the S195 residue on the process of inactivation. For two mutants (S195D and S195E), the maximal and minimal rates of inactivation observed were increased by ∼2.5-fold, and the midpoint of the steady-state inactivation curve was shifted ∼20mV in the hyperpolarizing direction, compared to the wild-type channel. Our data suggest that pore vestibule structure is an important determinant of NaChBac inactivation, whereas the inactivation mechanism is independent of the number of free cytoplasmic N- and C-termini in the functional channel. In these respects, NaChBac inactivation resembles C-type or slow inactivation modes observed in other voltage-gated K and Na channels.

i've noticed the same thing on .905 OTA
i've noticed the same thing on .905 OTA
True GPS indicates position by coordinating several satellite locks and is very precise, sometimes down to a few feet. Our Bionics support that as well as A-GPS. A-GPS is assisted gps which does an approximation of location by using cell tower triangulation. It can be off by 1000 feet or more depending on cell tower distribution.
So when My Tracks, Maps or other GPS tools are running I'm guessing the Bionic is locked onto satellite GPS? ?
The reason I ask about satellite GPS versus aGPS is when I installed my Samsung network extender last year, I had to mount an external GPS antenna on the outside of my building. The VZW techy on the phone told me that the gps antenna was for 911 location and it triangulated off cell towers not satellites.
I haven't needed to call 911 but if I do I hope it's more accurate than 1000 feet.
I also have a network extender, but once it got coordinated with the cell towers and my network it didn't have to use the external antenna anymore. The GPS symbol in the notification bar should indicate if you have an actual GPS lock by its color. GPS Status, free in the market, has an extremely informative screen about satellite locks, direction, level, speed, etc. It definitely helps the GPS lock on and stay locked.
My GPS absolutely will not lock on no matter what. Pulled the battery, blah blah.... It's starting to get on my nerves. Sick of looking at "Searching for GPS..." at the bottom of the screen. I'm just letting it search it's ass off in hope that it blows up!
Try this. Go outside with a clear view of the S, SW sky. Turn on wi-fi, data, and gps. Start the GPS Status app from the market. Watch for the green bars representing satellites come up on the gps status screen. Might take a minute or two the first time. Once you have 3-5 satellite locks, open maps and hit the 'your location' icon and check your location precision. If that doesn't happen, use some of the gps status tools to re-download the a-gps data, which helps on the initial lock. If none of this works, take it to Verizon and make them show you the gps radio is functioning or give you a new phone.
To elaborate on gsDroid's excellent suggestion to use some of the gps status tools to re-download the A-GPS data. I used GPS Status and Toolbox. Here's the directions. It fixed my slow GPS lock-on problem. I was very frustrated until I reset my A-GPS data. GPS lock is still not instantaneous but it's much faster.
To reset your A-GPS data using GPS Status and Toolbox -
How to Fix Android GPS Satellites Navigation | Covering Android
I made these simple instructions after researching which includes things not mentioned on that web page:
Download GPS Status and Toolbox and install it on your phone.
Go outside, where there's clear satellite reception, make sure gps, wifi, and data are all enabled.
Open GPS Status and Toolbox. Wait for when you get the satellites locked in, this can take a couple minutes. Look for at least 3 to 5 of the bars on the horizontal graph to turn green. Also you can watch the Fix/Sats to increase.
Then click on the phone's Menu button for more options.
Go to tools and select Manage A-GPS.
Click on Reset.
Then Menu >Tools > Manage A-GPS > Download.
Exit from the app after it is done.
Good luck!

Youth is served
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- Every fantasy owner out there, and even the occasional fan, knows of Mike Trout and Bryce Harper. Media hype on the two young outfielders is at a crazy level and expectation equally so.
But Trout and Harper aren't the only young players performing well enough to help your fantasy team.
Here are 10 more players, age of 25 and below, who are changing the fantasy landscape:
Manny Machado, 3B, Baltimore
- Machado was the third overall pick of the 2010 amateur draft and he's been a solid fantasy value from the moment he stepped onto a major league field last August. He's started off 2013 as a top-five fantasy option at his position, batting .309 with five homers, 21 RBI and an .874 OPS.
Chris Sale, SP Chicago White Sox
- When he first arrived in the majors back in 2010, the White Sox wanted to make him either a set-up man or a closer. He saved 12 games in his first two seasons, but they needed him to be a starter in 2012 and he blossomed into the team's ace, going 17-8 with a 3.05 ERA and 1.135 WHIP.
Kyle Seager, 3B, Seattle
- He was an unknown quanity last year who surprised most fantasy owners by posting 20 home runs and 86 RBI for the light-hitting Mariners. In 2013, he's also improved on his batting average and at this point is an excellent fantasy value (.293, 4 HR, 16 RBI, .844 OPS).
Matt Moore, SP, Tampa Bay
- For the past few years, the Rays have lived off all the high draft picks they "earned" for being an inept franchise from 1998-2007. Moore, however, was a eighth-round selection in 2007 and he's proving to be as good as any of their first-round picks. He's 5-0 through his first six starts this season with a stellar 1.95 ERA, 1.054 WHIP and 41 strikeouts in 37 innings.
Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, Arizona
- Since joining the "big" club in 2011, Goldschmidt has posted .800-plus OPS numbers and 2013 is no exception. He's improved his batting average, on-base percentage and OPS in each season and looks to be a fantasy stud for years to come.
Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Chicago Cubs
- Rizzo got a small taste of the major leagues in 2011 at 21 years old, but it was last year that he made an impression on fantasy owners with 15 home runs and an .805 OPS in half a season's work. He started slowly this year, but made an adjustment to his swing about two weeks ago, which has apparently worked because he's raised his batting average 73 points over that span. He's certainly got the power to put up 30-plus home runs and be a starting first baseman on any fantasy team.
Tony Cingrani, SP, Cincinnati
- Cingrani was called up when starter Johnny Cueto went on the disabled list and he may force the Reds to keep him even when Cueto returns. He's 2-0 with a 2.63 ERA, 0.833 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in 24 innings. Every fantasy owner loves to see a starter with more than a strikeout- per-inning average.
Wilin Rosario, C, Colorado
- Rosario was not expected to be the man behind the plate for the Rockies in 2012 - that was going to be Ramon Hernandez. But when Hernandez went down with an injury in late May, Rosario took over as full-time catcher and ended up blasting 28 home runs in 117 games. He's continued to perform this year, batting .299 with seven homers, 19 RBI and a career-best .883 OPS. At this point, despite all the talent behind the plate around the leagues, Rosario must be considered a top-five fantasy catcher.
Matt Harvey, SP, New York Mets
- The NL Pitcher of the Month for April, Harvey is showing the world what he's capable of. As a first-round selection in 2010 (seventh overall), Harvey spent precious little time in the minors, starting 10 games for New York in 2011 when its starting rotation suffered multiple injuries. This season, he's 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA, 0.818 WHIP and 46 strikeouts in 40 1/3 innings. He has a 95 mph fastball, slider, curveball and change-up, and as long as he stays healthy, he should anchor a fantasy owner's staff for many years to come.
Starling Marte, OF, Pittsburgh
- Andrew McCutchen gets most of the media coverage when the Pirates come to town, but Marte is starting to garner attention, too. He showed flashes of his talent in 167 at-bats last season, but in 2013 he's become a full-blown fantasy stud. He has the much-desired combination of speed and power. Through his first 30 games this season, he leads the NL in hits (40) and has five home runs among 13 extra base hits, a .325 batting average and 10 steals.
There are also two other youngsters who were just brought up to the majors who are performing at a very high level (though in limited action). They are worth watching to see if they might be added to this list: Didi Gregorius, SS, Arizona (.433. 3 HR, 1.335 OPS in eight games) and Nolan Arenado, 3B, Colorado (.323, 3 HR, 1.041 OPS in seven games).

Dear Degrassi: Advice from Ray "Sav" Ablack
Posted on 04/06/2010 by MaryThis week's advice-seeker says:
So me and my guy friend are really close, and of course everyone thinks that there's "something going on between us," but I really haven't thought much of it. I usually just brush it off, but last night I had a dream about us in a relationship. I'm still a bit freaked out by it and I don't know if my subconscious is trying to tell me something. I mean I haven't really thought about it, but we're so much alike that we would be a great match and since were already so close we don't have any of those awkward pauses... ever. Now a part of me really thinks that we could work, but the other half is a bit cautious about it.Now my feelings for him are mixed . I'm not quite sure if I should tell him though because we talk about everything and he has vented to me about how he hates girls chasing after him and every girl he talks to ends up liking him and that I am the only one who hasn't, and he totally appreciates it. Now I'm stuck with the dilemma of telling him and he may freak out and we would lose our friendship. Or tell him how I really feel, get it off my chest, and possibly have a chance for a new relationship.
I can't make up my mind, what should i do?"
And Ray says...
"Hey, that's a tough spot for sure. I'll preface my response with the fact that I think I'm a sadist, and am probably not qualified to offer the advice or answer that you'll want to hear, but if after reading my disclaimer you still want my two cents, then I hope this helps?After reading your question, I feel like you're confused about how you feel for your guy friend. I'd say first off: figure out how you feel internally and then go honestly from there. Discover how you alone feel. Disregard what your friends may think could be a 'cute' couple, and disregard your dream; as a psychology student I've learned that we really know nothing about our dreams and whether or not they have any implications in R.L. so don't put too much weight on this one. Sounds like your mind and heart are playing tricks on you. If at the end of the day however, you feel like you do have feelings for him, then tell him. - Yeah, he might freak. And that could suck. But maybe he won't, you said yourself you two have a good friendship? Perhaps he'll feel the same way and you could go further? And even if he doesn't want to, if the friendship is indeed strong, then this situation shouldn't break it.
I had a similar experience in grade ten. I went out with my best friend, thinking that it would be swell. After all, she used to make me cookie dough, and then we'd eat it together in class. Things started falling apart though. We broke up, but remained best friends (with some rough patches, of course). We were better as friends than as a couple . All this back story to say that even if you can't have the romantic relationship your friendship shouldn't be lost, so why not go for it? - You've got nothing to lose? But at the same time, being in a relationship isn't the be all and end all of everything, although it seems like kids our age, 'Alli' for example, are transfixed on the idea of a relationship and that it will make their lives complete. You don't have to fall for it too though. - But I'm probably just bitter or something?
I guess you gotta figure it out on your own. I'd start off with discovering what you actually feel though, not what your friends, your dreams, or society tells you? Hope I helped.
Random Cuteness: Marco's Bunny from Degrassi
Posted on 04/04/2010 by LisaHey, remember Hip Hop? He's the bunny Marco adopts in "Death and Glory, pt. 2." In honor of Easter, Degrassi, and bunnies, here's a close-up of Hip Hop's cuddly widdle face.
Aww... Hip Hop! I just want to snuggle you.
Who's the fakest friend: Chantay or Jenna?
Posted on 04/03/2010 by LisaChantay
"Chantay Black is the fakest friend!" - realluve's thread
Chantay gossips about pretty much everyone; she accuses Manny of being racist, she teams up with Darcy to keep Mia off the spirit squad, and then later be friends Mia when she starts becoming famous; she tells Leia to break up with Danny because she wants him for herself. Huffalump1 says, "Chantay is seriously backstabby and hypocritical."
"Jenna's such a fake friend!" - icegirl111's thread
Jenna flirts with K.C. after saying "Don't worry Clare-bear, I won't even look at him." OoBelle thinks Jenna's a backstabber who's been "trying to steal him since the moment she saw him."
Which of these girls would you LEAST want to be friends with?
Sav's arranged marriage might not be so horrible.
Posted on 04/03/2010 by MaryYou know, marrying for love is actually a relatively recent phenomenon -- marriage and monogamy have been about protecting property for a much longer time than they've been about snuggling in front of sunsets for life. The romantic notion of finding and keeping "The One" is modern -- and, based on the divorce rate, only partially successful. Meanwhile... check this out from a Scientific American podcast:
"There's even a study published in India but using an American love scale, called the Rubin Love Scale, that compared love in love marriages in India ... to love in arranged marriages. And in this particular study, love in the love marriages starts out very high. And then over time it decreases. ... And in the arranged marriages ... we see the love starting out relatively low. Because in so many cases the people barely know each other, sometimes they've had a half an hour of contact in total before they got married. And then it increases gradually, surpasses the love in the love marriages at about five years. And 10 years out it's twice as strong."
So basically, in India anyway, people who marry for love generally start out all gaga and then gradually get sick of each other, but people whose marriages are arranged generally start out kinda "ummm?" but then end up a lot happier than the love marriage people.
Food for thought, right?? I'm not saying I would want my parents to pick my spouse for me, but... it's made me feel a little less knee-jerk "GROSS!" about the idea of arranged marriage...
(BTW, if you're wondering, the "Rubin Love Scale" measures how much you agree with statements like "I feel that I can confide in my loved one about virtually everything" and "I find it easy to ignore my loved one's faults"... check out the whole loving and liking scales here, they're pretty interesting...)
Teen pregnancy is preventable.
Posted on 04/02/2010 by MaryHolly J said, "Sav's grown up enough to have sex; he's grown up enough to tell his parents he has a girlfriend."
True that, and furthermore... if Sav and Anya are grown up enough to have sex, they're BOTH grown up enough to have made a much more thorough, concrete plan for how they were going to prevent a pregnancy -- a pregnancy that would deeply affect both of their lives -- instead of, like, a two sentence conversation two seconds before it happened.
As they say at stayteen.org," Teen pregnancy is 100% preventable. (Unless it's the result of sexual violence.) What else can you say that about? Either don't have sex at all, or use protection every single time."
Degrassi Breakdown: Broken Promises
Posted on 04/02/2010 by MaryMASSIVE, DEGRASSI-RUINING SPOILERS ARE BELOW. I beg of you, do not read these questions 'til you've seen the episode ok? OK.
Now, for the prepared among us...
1) How do you think Sav should have handled the Farrah debacle? I can see why Holly J and Chantay were kind of clucking their tongues at Anya over it all, but at the same time, I kind of felt like Sav was handling it as best he could under the circumstances. How 'bout you?
2) And did you hate Farrah? 'Cause I kind of didn't. And I kind of felt like she might justifiably feel like "I saw him first," since she's been told she was going to marry him since she was a little kid.
3) Oh my God, in the last scene... Anya crying and having that talk with Sav? I wanted to die and then hug her and then die again. What an AMAZING performance by Samantha, that was so real my chest hurt. Maybe the best breakup scene ever on Degrassi? Your thoughts?
4) Do you think Sav was right to break up with Anya? I'm furious with her for lying about something SO incredibly life-altering and important, too. But I'm also kind of dumbfounded that he thought one simple question and a non-answer in the limo was an adequate birth control discussion.
5 ) Johnny DiMarco: "I guess you can't just choose your friends." Interesting take on life, eh? In a weird way, he kind of has a point...
6) Alli and Dave? Chemistry? Thoughts?
5 Questions for Samantha Munro, aka Anya!
Posted on 04/01/2010 by MaryWe asked Samantha Munro 5 questions; she gave us 5 answers. The universe is balanced indeed. Get to know her!
< b>What was the first rock show/concert you ever went to, and what was the BEST rock show/concert you ever went to?
Same answer for both... Blink 182. It was my first concert and it was only last year (that's right, I was 18 years old). I screamed the entire time and I lost my voice for 2 days.What makes you cranky? And what gets you un-cranky?
I don't like being cold. I think I was supposed to be born in a tropical location. What makes me un-cranky??? Sun and a baggy sweaterWhen you doodle, what do yo u draw?
I always draw a moose. In fact, I'm quite famous for my moose. His name is Alvin. He's cute.What do you think makes a good Degrassi episode?
I really like it when something shocking happens that yo u weren't expecting. When you have that OMG moment. I also enjoy it when we get to see why characters are the way they are. For example, why Riley had anger issues or why Holly J was so nasty.And a user question from kisstojake: What's been your most embarrassing moment on set?
We were filming a scene where I was walking through a door, and, to put it simply, the door didn't open and I walked smack into the glass. I whacked my face right into it. Classic.Degrassi's Melinda Shankar and Sam Earle at the KCAs!
Posted on 03/29/2010 by LisaBefore the Kids' Choice Awards, I was on the orange carpet, posting live updates for nick.com, and I got to meet Melinda Shankar (Alli) and Sam Earle (K.C.) from Degrassi. It was the first time any of us had been at the KCAs, so we were all really excited to be there.
I got to talk to a bunch of celebrities, but I think I got the most excited to meet Melinda and Sam, just because I love watching them on Degrassi. If you're wondering, they were both so nice in person.
Don't they look great?
Degrassi: Tag your friends on facebook!
Posted on 03/26/2010 by MaryWho's the Emma in your group of friends, and who's the Manny? Who's the Declan and who's the Holly J? We made some Degrassi photo grids for you to grab and tag your friends on facebook, or wheresoever you prefer tagging your friends. (And invite them over for brand new episodes April 2 at 9p et omg!)
Way too many people have graced the halls of Degrassi for one grid, so:
Here's the "new school" version: Holly J, Declan, Fiona, Clare, K.C., Jenna, Sav, Anya, etc.
And here's the "old school" version: Manny, Ellie, Paige, Marco, Ashley, Emma, Craig, Sean, Jay, Heather Sinclair, etc.
Degrassi at the KCAs!
Posted on 03/24/2010 by MaryI am in the mood for sharing. Can we share? Ok. I'll go first:
I just heard that Sam Earle (K.C.) and Melinda Shankar (Alli) will both be going to the KCAs on Saturday night!
Ok now you share: Make up a KCA you would give to Sam and Melinda! 'Cause they sure as poop deserve 'em even if they weren't nominated harrumph. Who cares, they don't need no boring old favorite TV actor and actress awards. (I'm gonna give Melinda "Favorite performance of the word 'awesome'." And Sam gets... "Most Believable Cute-Yet-Smart boy.)
