Hm... I'm honestly not sure how to answer this. A
better question might have been if there was a problem with the
existing, i.e., if the idea of Gamer/Geek/Nerd girls should be considered separate from the idea of Gamers/Geeks/Nerds. If you put it like that, then yes, there is a problem with the concept existing because there is no reason for G/G/N to be differentiated based on gender. And this, of course, doesn't take into consideration the potential unnecessariness of the existence of the concept of G/G/N of any gender, because I believe people should just be allowed to do their own thing.
On the other hand, if you want me to take the question at face value: is there a problem with the existence of girls who are G/G/N, then the answer is No, because, again, everyone has a right to like what they like as long as it doesn't harm anyone.

I just hate all the ditsy little girls who pretend to be into all that stuff just for guys' attention. It makes the rest of us look bad. Or the ones who scream to the world about how much of a "geek/nerd" they are. It's kind of like, can't you just be into what your into without shouting it in everyone's face in some silly attempt to look cool?
Like, sure, I grew up playing video games and being into things that would be considered "nerdy/geeky". A lot of my interests are adopted from my parents (for example, my mom is super into Starwars, and so I like Starwars too because we watched it when I was younger and I enjoyed it), or are the product of the fact that I grew up around guys because I mostly hung out with my younger brother and his buddies as a kid (and still do a lot). But to me, it's just something that I enjoy doing and that I'm interested in. I don't do what I do to be cool, I do it because I enjoy it. I just can't really stand all these silly little bimbos flapping around just to seem interesting (and guys do it too, y'all are just as guilty of doing things to try and look cool or get attention, seriously).

As a geek/nerd/gamer girl YES! there are so many problems for us. If anyone finds out I'm a girl while playing COD I will get at least 5 date proposals in three seconds. Then people start treating me differently, either focusing on me going extra hard to 'prove she can't do it' or going easy 'because she's a girl'. And that's just one thing.

I have complete gender confusion sometimes. In games, I always assume myself to be male, unless if the character is obviously female. But then, when people talk to me in real life, I sometimes answer in a "masculine" way, and then people give me weird looks.
I go to my school's engineering and electronics clubs, where I am the only girl. It kind of annoys me when a teacher comes in, and they're like "Oh, you're here?", like I should be at drama club or something.
I am genuinely not sure what gender I am, really.

Of course I wouldn't like it if someone is truly only pretending to be a geek when they honestly hate it. But until you can show me how to tell these people apart from casual geeks with 100% accuracy, I'll continue to assume the best about people.

In my opinion, is that the reason that many people say girls can't be a true nerd/geek is the fact that some girls (not most, but some) think it's "cute" to be a "nerd" and in reality,actually they are not. Also, the original geeks and nerds were male, not beacause only true nerds and geeks, but beacause comic books and science were considered to be male gender-specific, which it is not.

A geek/gamer is a geek/gamer. If being harassed because of gender is anything like being mocked for being a "noob", then I'd like to apologize to the "lady" gamers out there on behalf of the rest of us.

As a girl gamer, I personally am not seeing a lot of the pestering that I'm seeing a lot of people mention in the comments. But maybe that's mostly because I usually play one-player games (Portal, Skyrim, etc.) with the exception being Team Fortress 2. But Team Fortress 2 in general has a very awesome community of players. Also there is no character creation, so there's not really anyway to tell I am a girl. But if they do, and on the rare, rare occasion when someone says some snide comment or joke, usually someone else steps up and says "Hey, there are lots of girl players. Is there anything wrong with her being a girl? No? Then shut up so we can play." I've actually co-founded a competitive team, and of our 10 members, 4 are girls.

I am a girl, and I am a gamer. I don't hide that. So I guess I see no problem with girls being gamers. However, it really annoys me when girls just do it to get attention. You shouldn't do it for that, that's just stupid. Game because you want to, because you enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it, then why bother?

Wouldn't see why not. Most people don't think that way, though. I remember when I was still a fanatic Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast player (really the only game I was genuinely fucking good at) people who knew I was a girl would tell me to go outside and play with dolls or cook, because that's what girls were supposed to do.
Or I'd totally kick their asses and they wouldn't believe my age nor my gender, which was frustrating at some point. Now I simply take that as a compliment.
But the fact that i CAN take it as a compliment is sowhat weird. Then again.... secretly. SECRETLY. I enjoy the fact that some gamer guys find it a major turn on that I game maybe just as much as they do, hehe. Yeah, I guess I'm a little bit of a hypocrite at that point.

I don't think it's a problem.
I would like to say I hate the stereotype that girls suck at games, though.
When I girl makes a mistake while playing a game, the usual response would be something like "Typical, girls are all awful at videogames". And then when a man makes the mistake it's usually not even noticed...

I believe everyone should play what they want without having to worry about 'fitting in'. If a girl likes a video game, hey good for her. She just shouldn't force herself to like one to match her boyfriend. I'm a girl who has always enjoyed games. I may not like shoot-em-up games, or high intensity games, but I still enjoy something that lets me escape the real world.
For so many women, they have to disguise their character as men so they don't get all unnecessary attention. When I first started to get into online gaming, I had joined Dungeons and Dragons online. I was pestered enough of being asked "Are you really a girl?" and if dinner was burning that I eventually restarted as a male character to avoid it. Many male gamers are polite to women, but it's those who decide that we don't belong on 'their turf' that drive so many of us away from these things. This doesn't just apply to video games either, it applies to card games, fandoms, hobbies, and sports.

I am one and the problem are the others. Everytime I play with my buddies they are focusing on me. After every little mistake I do, they talk like the whole day about it. Before a game it is like "oh, the feeder is there" or something like that, and the others answers, it is ok, she is a girl. So for them girls are probably something bad in the gamerzone...

I love being a nerd, just upsets me when you get girls AND guys who are like "herp derp I'm a GAMER BROOOOO LOLZ" and play nothing but COD or Battlefield because it's mainstream, or play filler games to up their gamer score.

When I get a girlfriend and eventually, when I get a wife, one of my missions will be to turn them into a gamer. Mwuahahahaha!!!!!!
But on a serious topic, it's hard for girls to play games sometimes, especially online games, seeing as the second, SECOND, boys find out a girl is playing, non stop pestering ensues. If, said girl states they're a girl solely for attention, well shame on them, and unfortunately, they might be getting negative attention. However to other percentage who just wish to play games like everyone else, they shouldn't be judged or penalised for doing so.
The constant 'girls don't play games' I see on the Internet really, really irritates me. Gender shouldn't ever have to come into play in such case. A girl and boy can both enjoy a game/series/fandom. There shouldn't be a split.

My little sister is the serious gamer in the family. She's going to school for game design and we often joke with her that she hangs out with guys all the time, because really, she is one of the very few girls in the program. In fact, I don't know if there are any other than her. She, then, makes fun of my "gamer rage" so it all works out. I'm a casual gamer myself, Nintendo specifically, but I'm starting to branch out into PS2 and PS3. Legend of Zelda is my all-time favorite video game franchise and I'll be damned if anyone tries to tell me I can't call myself a gamer just because I don't play all hours of the day.
Are we a problem? Hell no.

This argument. I can't even.
I'm a big gamer but hate the term Gamer girl. Why do I have to call myself a girl when defining myself. But when it comes to the "posers" or the girls who try to be nerdy for the sake of getting attention is shameful. You like what you like but if you HAVE to announce that you like something to make people like you, THAT'S a problem. Personally, I don't see a problem with us "existing" and it hurts to see that people actually don't want us there.

I'm one, and so no there's no problem, but I hate how we're sometimes treated as a novelty, or over sexualised by guys just finding it sexy that we like the same things they do. While I appreciate the fact they like it, it's not like we're doing it for them, so I guess what I'm trying to say is stop looking at gender all together.
If you find a girl gamer, she's just a girl who happens to be a gamer. Don't make assumptions of her personality based on that one interest, and don't make her seem like a novelty or a toy to be collected.

I hate talking about video games in public.

Geek-ism or nerd-ism or whatever you want to call it is for all genders! And though I agree it's not ok when just done for attention it's hard to define who does a doesn't do it for that reason. There are many girls accused of just claiming to play games for the attention of being 'special' to guys when they in fact are truly into the things they talk about and love something like Star Wars or Left 4 Dead just as much as some other dude.
However there are the few that do it for the attention. Just to clarify though there's a difference between liking Star Wars and playing angry birds or mario kart every once in a while and being a Star Wars fanatic and being a real gamer. I know of someone in particular who always talks about how she's such a nerd and a gamer. But she hardly ever plays any games other than farmville on facebook and every time I'm in a serious gaming conversation she has to randomly jump into change the conversation because she's not interested, etc.
Alright I'm done now, sorry... I just have strong feelings!

I have come to the belief that D&C 132 and Joseph's teaching of polygamy isn't, wasn't, and never will be revelation of God, that polygamy is not of God but rather an idea of men. I believe that it is self-evident that a loving God would not be the author of such confusion, obvious inequality, and emotionally/psychological damage. I believe firmly that if there ever…

Nice work, I'm really impressed with the action in "Thrust". The proportions are a little off, but hey it's a fun pick and it's not finished,
I really like "The Elf" as well, but I don't know the cheap PS tricks you're talking about. Aren't all the tricks with PS cheap,

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the part I focused the most on giving form to - the force and impact of the thrust. According to many, my biggest problem when it comes to proportions is that I often make the legs too short.
As for cheap photoshop effeccts - I used cutout.. so with one click I got a whole other effect. Which is extra cheap to me.

Thanks for stopping by my book! That water color or whatever at the very beginning is really really cool! I wish I could understand the background a little better, but that's part of the coolness - that it's ambiguous. But I think my favorite of what you've shown is the tree! It looks wicked insane! That's pretty cool.
I'm not crazy about some of the figures. I'm not sure if maybe their limbs are a little long or maybe they just look really rigid. I don't know what it is.
anyway, I'm definitely going to be checking this one regularly (as long as you keep updating. lol)

Greetings! Definitely try to pay a bit more attention to structure. Also, mess around a bit more with line quality. Your sketches are in a place where they seem a bit light, or if they're dark, its for the wrong reasons. Keep posting, and lets see some life drawings and anatomy studies!!

Antoine Dodson Has Arrived (Run and Tell That!)
You've got a straight-forward rap version, another with heavy metal flavor, blues and folk, and dozens more. The best and most effective ode comes courtesy of the Gregory Brothers, those genius-y geniuses behind the Auto-Tune the News phenomenon. 'BED INTRUDER SONG!!!' incorporates Dodson's lively and already tuneful interview into an auto-tuned party masterpiece, one that must have T-PAIN wincing in ... jealousy.
The parody has racked up nearly 5 million views since emerging on YouTube on June 30, a mere two days after a local news station -- WAFF-TV -- filed their now-infamous video report, headlined 'Woman wakes up to find intruder in her bed.' The terrifying details: A man breaks into a woman's home and tries to rape her, but her brother rushes to her aid and runs off the attacker.
"You don't have to confess you did it. We are looking for you. We gonna find you. I'm letting you know now so you can run and tell that homeboy," Antoine said in the report.
The video became an immediate hit on the station's website and was quickly uploaded to YouTube numerous times. Parodies emerged within hours and then two days later the 'BED INTRUDER SONG!!!' was introduced. (There is now a rash of parodies OF the auto-tune parody.)
The same TV station even made a return trip to the Dodson home a few days after the crime, not to follow-up on the break-in or attempted rape, but to see how Antoine was handling his new-found stardom. The station fielded angry calls from locals who said Dodson perpetuated stereotypes about African Americans and should not have been interviewed. Reporter Elizabeth Gentle defended the interview, saying "Some have contacted our newsroom saying that interviews with people like Antoine reflect poorly on the community. To that I say censoring people like Antoine is far worse."
Here, Here!
Since stumbling upon media stardom, Dodson has created a blog, joined Facebook and is working with the Gregory Brothers to bring the Auto-Tune track to iTunes as well as make it into a ringtone. He's also got a t-shirt line. "Hey guys, this caught me by surprise as much as it did you ... I just want to thank everyone for their support!" he said on his site.

Did you know that Barack Obama is sending satanic messages to the American people?
That's what radical right wing blogs are spewing like Linda Blair on her worst day in "The Exorcist."
Satan. Socialist. Muslim. Celebrity. And you thought the president was just some liberal wimp.
He's Rosemary's baby. Born around that time (actually a few years before the book and the movie made a splash — but we're not dealing with accuracy with the YouTube right wing.)
Apparently, the right wingnut bloggers played some of President Obama's speeches backward and they swear (to who knows who) that the prez is saying such things like "Serve Satan."
Phew! It could be worse: Play speeches at normal speed from Republicans and they say "Serve Rush."
But we're splitting hairs here.
Where were these suspicious minds when Ronald Reagan was president? You know, Ronald Wilson Reagan — six letters in each of his names, or 6-6-6. The mark of The Beast. Or Cheney's favorite lottery number to play.
This is of course ridiculous. Obama a satan worshipper? He's too busy worshipping himself. But don't tell those lunatics who'll say stuff like:
1. If you play the phrase "Change you can believe in" backward you swear (to who knows who) he's saying: "I'm going to eat all your babies and make your kids smoke Chesterfields."
2. Play "Yes we can" in reverse and it sounds suspiciously like "Soon it will be called the United States of Hades."
3. Rework the letters in his book title "Audacity of Hope" and you can spell "Ode to a Cuda." Which means absolutely nothing unless the bloggers get you to believe a cuda is short for baracuda and that rhymes with Sara-cuda (Palin during the campaign) which means he's trying to enlist our beloved next president in Satan's Army. Run, Sarah, run!
And what about these facts the YouTube right wing would make up:
1. What's Barack Obama's favorite Rolling Stones song? "Sympathy for the Devil."
2. What's Obama's favorite cake? Devil's food. Duh!
3. Where would Barack Obama prefer to hike if he ever hiked? Devil's Canyon.
4. What fabric does Barack Obama prefer most on women? Satin, 'cos it's almost spelled like satan.
5. Why does Barack Obama like Santa so much? 'Cos when you rearrange the letters you can spell Satan.
6. What's Obama's favorite movie title? "Apocalypse Now."
7. What's Obama's favorite part of the Bible? None. He reads the Koran.
Such nonsense from the lunatic fringe — who, incidentally are not so much on the fringe anymore and, thanks to the Internet, are slowly but surely getting their insanity heard.
As long as it doesn't become gospel. God help us all if that should everhappen.

Originally written on WHYGAVS? | Last updated 2/14/13
While reading Baseball Prospectus's list of nine potential breakout candidates yesterday, I was legitimately surprised to find Travis Snider at number six on the list. Then, I thought about it some and decided that I was surprised to find myself surprised to find Travis Snider at number six on the list. I was excited when the Pirates traded for him in July and he actually played pretty well until the hamstring injury messed up the end of his season. I puzzled some more and I realized that I really don't have much of a handle on my expectations for Travis Snider for the 2013 season. Snider, or at least the concept of finding a second dynamic outfield bat to help Andrew McCutchen carry the load o in the lineup, is pretty important to the Pirates in 2013, so it's probably a time to try and figure out what to expect. The good news is that by Valentine's Day, most of the projection systems have churned out their numbers for the Pirates. Let's look at what the various projections see...

It was a death foretold when a suicide bomber killed former Pakistan Prime Minister and opposition leader Benazir Bhutto after an election rally of her Pakistan People's Party (PPP) in the garrison city of Rawalpindi on December 27. That perhaps was why grief so rapidly turned into fury. PPP supporters took to the streets in violent protest in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and a dozen other cities. Thirty-one were killed in gun battles, including several police. More may fall after Bhutto's tumultuous funeral in her ancestral home of Larkana on Friday. With two weeks to go before elections, Pakistan is a country on a precipice.
The significance of Bhutto's murder was felt at once. She had just addressed the rally and was standing atop her steel-reinforced land cruiser when a motorcyclist drove up, opened fire and blew himself up. She was rushed to hospital where she died of wounds to the chest, neck and head. Twenty others perished, mostly PPP cadre.
Benazir is the fourth of her family to meet a violent, political demise. The Islamist and pro-American dictatorship of Zia-ul-Haq ousted and then hanged her father, Prime Minister Zulfikhar Ali Bhutto, in 1979. Her brothers, Shahnawaz and Muntazer, were killed in 1985 and 1996, probably by Pakistan's intelligence agencies. And she herself narrowly escaped death when a suicide bomber killed 137 of her supporters on return to Karachi on October 18 after eight years of self-imposed exile.
She was--clearly--a target. Yet the overwhelming sentiment of the tens of thousands who converged on Larkana was not just grief but outrage: how could an assassin get so close to their leader at a place where there were hundreds of police, dozens of bodyguards and perhaps 5,000 party workers?
Bhutto said there were four groups that had wanted her dead. The Afghan and Pakistan Taliban, which saw her as a surrogate for American foreign policy, and Al Qaeda, which also loathed her as a woman and a Shia (and, (and, says the Pakistan government, was behind the killing.)
But Bhutto's deepest suspicions rested on those she called the "remnants of Zia": former military and intelligence officers who came to prominence during the ul-Haq dictatorship but who still enjoyed tangled ties of kinship with President Pervez Musharraf's military regime and various jihadi outfits. After the carnage in Karachi she demanded an international enquiry to expose the "rogues." Musharraf refused. If he wants to come out clean from Rawalpindi, he shouldn't refuse again.
It's clear whom the PPP rank-and-file holds responsible. The principal targets of their rage were the emblems and offices of Musharraf ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) faction. The charge was it--together with the intelligence agencies and Islamic militants--had most to gain by the removal of Pakistan's most popular opposition leader. And the fact that the killing happened in Rawalpindi--not only a garrison town but also a PML-Q stronghold--added buckets of grist to the conspiracy theorists.
Musharraf condemned the killing and cautioned calm. But he also gave orders that his police shoot on sight any violent protestors in Bhutto's home Sindh province. He knows there are many among his loyalists who want him to reimpose the martial law he lifted barely two weeks ago and postpone the elections indefinitely. He also knows there will be countervailing foreign pressure against this, not least from his main backer, Washington.
For the administration of George W. Bush the murder of Bhutto is the death of a dream. For the past nine months it has tried to finesse a marriage between a presidency led by Musharraf and a parliament led by Bhutto and PPP. Very simply, she was to provide the civilian cover for Musharraf and the army to prosecute the war against Islamic militancy more thoroughly on American terms. The tryst suffered a near mortal blow when Musharraf imposed emergency rule in Pakistan on November 3. Bhutto's assassination has annulled it. But Bush still clings to the salvation of a "democratic process," which he stubbornly mistakes for rigged elections.
Bush said the best way for Pakistanis to honor Bhutto's memory was "by continuing with the democratic process for which she so bravely gave her life." But most Pakistanis have had it with a "democratic process" that has so far meant carnage, emergency rule and curbs on their own basic political and civil liberties.
One of the first mourners at Rawalpindi hospital on December 27 was former Prime Minister and opposition leader Nawaz Sharif. He was once Bhutto's greatest political foe, conspiring with the army to remove her two governments from office in the 1990s. But outside the hospital he called her his "sister" and her death "one of the darkest days in Pakistan history."
He also said his Muslim League faction would boycott the January 8 poll in protest at Bhutto's killing. Instead, he is calling for Musharraf to stand down and for a government of national unity to be formed based on civilian supremacy, the rule of law and a consensus on policies to do with Islamic militancy and elections.
Musharraf will reject such reconciliation and so will Bush. But it is perhaps the only political remedy that can stop Pakistan from falling apart. The alternative is polarization, not--as Washington dreams--between a "moderate center" and "militant minority" but between an unpopular military regime and the larger part of the Pakistani people.
For all her pro-American rhetoric, many in Bhutto's party held America responsible for the "judicial murder" of her father. Zia ul-Haq was seen as a bulwark against Communism and so all sins were forgiven. In return for massive US largesse, Pakistanis received brutal political repression, nine more years of martial rule and a sectarian Islamism that became the antecedent for the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Will Bhutto's assassination have a like impact?
Farhatullah Barbar was Zulfikhar's friend and Benazir's spokesperson. "I don't know," he answered. "But in the struggle for democracy in Pakistan I predict her death will prove no less a watershed than his."

Exhibition features students' art
Del Mar artist follows her daughter's lead
An artist's inspiration can be drawn from pretty much anything. It came from love for Del Mar College student Susana Alvarez - and a painting of flowers.
Yet Alvarez seems worried for her own art - worried like a mother would worry for her child.
She knows all about that too.
Her daughter Cassandra suffers from Soto's Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by excessive physical growth during the first years of life and often accompanied by delayed motor and cognitive development.
The 11-year-old entered a painting of flowers for a recent elementary school art contest, and Alvarez is following her lead by submitting four of her own works in the 17th annual Del Mar College Student Art Association Student Exhibition that opens today. Organizers expect more than 100 exhibits at the event.
"I tend to be really critical of myself, but my friends encouraged me to enter," Alvarez said. "Hopefully (those attending) feel something other than just looking at it."
Taking care of her daughter's needs has provided her with added artistic perspective.
"She's an inspiration in every way," Alvarez said.
Exhibit coordinator and Del Mar College art instructor Amorette Garza said works at the event will include ceramics, sculptures, paintings, drawings and digital art.
"We have a good group of student artists," she said. "We get a lot of people who have a natural ability."
Exhibits in the juried competition will strive for awards based on quality and expression. Garza said prizes of $200, $150 and $100 will be awarded for the top three works. Eleven $50 awards will also be handed out.
Alvarez will submit two paintings, one drawing and one design for the contest. She said getting the nerve to try out her paintbrush was once an ordeal but the third-semester art student plans to work toward a career as an art professor.
"I just never felt confident enough," she said. "Then I took a drawing class at Del Mar and I really liked it."
Garza said the exhibit is one step toward involving the community in the endeavors of local artists, as well as nurture more young talent.
"We had works submitted just on the first day," she said. "I think that's a good sign people are proud of what they've done."

MONDAY, Jan. 14 (HealthDay News) -- After New York City made the streets near some of its schools safer, the number of children struck by cars each year dropped substantially, a new study shows.
Researchers found that the rate of child pedestrian injuries during "school travel" hours fell by 44 percent around schools where the city made traffic changes. The changes included installing more traffic lights and speed bumps, putting islands in the center of wide streets, and setting up digital signs that tell drivers how fast they are going.
Experts say the findings point to the success of the National Safe Routes to School program, which was set up in 2005 to encourage kids to walk or ride their bikes to school.
"The study shows that safety programs really do work," said Kate Carr, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide, in Washington, D.C. "Making common sense improvements around schools by adding sidewalks and speed bumps, improving signage, and creating more visible crosswalks prevents injuries and saves lives."
"At a time when we need more focus on decreasing driver and pedestrian distraction, programs like Safe Routes to School are more important than ever when it comes to the safety of our kids," added Carr, who was not involved with the study.
The main motivation for the program originally was to get kids physically active and help curb childhood obesity. But based on the new findings, reported online Jan. 14 and in the February print issue of the journal Pediatrics, the program also may be protecting kids from potentially serious or fatal injuries.
"The reason so many kids aren't walking to school is that parents are worried about safety, and one of their biggest concerns is the risk of pedestrian injury," said study co-author Charles DiMaggio, an associate professor at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City.

Megan Fox Says She Prefers Kissing Girls
Megan Fox had no problem with Amanda Seyfried in their new movie 'Jennifer's Body.'
"I feel much safer with girls, so I felt more comfortable kissing her in the movie than kissing any of the other people that I had to kiss," she tells MTV News.
But Seyfried did not feel the same way, according to her co-star.
"I think she was extremely uncomfortable. I don't think that -- I know that. She was not comfortable and there was a lot of laughing -- like, giggling fits that happened in between takes," Fox explains.
In 'Body,' Fox plays a high school student who eats her male classmates. The horror movie was written by Oscar-winning Juno scribe Diablo Cody.

I just don't think that she is that hot. She looks pretty hard and bony. Looks like she is not going to age well and if she smokes, her face looks like it will look real bad very soon. Don't like her giving the finger to the paparazzi and recommend that they don't follow her around anymore which will may kill her career. I do dig Amanda Seyfried though, she is fine. Beautiful face and body and real talent.

As a father of 4 girls I think is sad that todays young women think its ok and normal to be with men and women. If a person is gay, so be it. But to glamourize it is sick. these young women think its the norm to go both ways and seem to brag about it. If these women want to be with other women all the power to them but I wish my under 16 daughters didnt have to read about it or see it on tv every day.
- Friday 28 AugustBy Maggie
Phil, You may not want your under 16 daughters to read this but do you also protect them from stories about boys who mistreat girlfriends (those stories / movies are rampant). The best thing you can do is keep an open dialogue with your daughters. One of them could find herself attracted to females, it won't have anything to do with a story she read just as for you being heterosexual has nothing to do with a story you read or heard. If this were the case your girls should turn out hetero just because you are but it doesn't work that way. Be open and loving and help them figure out who they are without trying to influence them. Enjoy them.

I have to agree with you on this one. It seems to be like the "In" thing to do and it's a sick one.

I saw Chien-Ming Wang hobbling home on a base hit by Derek Jeter Sunday and my first thought was "Oh God, no."
My second thought — the Yankees need and Indians asking price for C.C. Sabathia just skyrocketed.
I hate inter-league play, always have. Yankees vs. Mets is exciting, but it puts American League pitchers at tremendous risk of injury. Remember, some of these guys haven't been on the basepaths since high school.
Here's Mike Mussina on the subject.
├ā┬ó├óŌĆÜ┬¼├ģŌĆ£American League pitchers are at the most risk, because we don├ā┬ó├óŌĆÜ┬¼├óŌĆ×┬ót hit, we don├ā┬ó├óŌĆÜ┬¼├óŌĆ×┬ót run the bases,├ā┬ó├óŌĆÜ┬¼├é┬Ø Mussina said. ├ā┬ó├óŌĆÜ┬¼├ģŌĆ£You get four or five at-bats a year at most, and if you happen to get on base once or twice, you never know. We run in straight lines most of the time. Turning corners, you just don├ā┬ó├óŌĆÜ┬¼├óŌĆ×┬ót do that.├ā┬ó├óŌĆÜ┬¼├é┬Ø
It is pointless, though, to debate inter-league play. It isn't going to change, and neither are the DH/no DH rules.
No matter the rules or circumstances, the fact is Wang, the Yankees ace got hurt en route to improving to 8-2. He was pitching his second straight terrific game after suffering through the worst slump of his career. The Yankees are calling the injury a sprained foot for now, but the speculation is that this is very likely a serious Lisfranc injury that will end Wang's season.
So, of course, the Yankees thoughts have to turn to Sabathia, the Indians Cy Young Award-winning left-hander.
Tyler Kepner of the New York Times analyzed the pros and cons of a deal for Sabathia, and this is part of what he had to say.
The upside is alluring. If the Yankees trade for Sabathia, who is a very large man but has no injury history, they instantly replace one ace with another for 2008 and continue the business of contending for a playoff spot.
They would get a three-month trial run with the best pitcher on the free-agent market, and then they could re-sign him and enter the new ballpark with three ace-type pitchers ├ā┬ó├óŌĆÜ┬¼├óŌé¼┼ō Sabathia, Wang and Chamberlain ├ā┬ó├óŌĆÜ┬¼├óŌé¼┼ō born in the 1980s. Presumably there would still be some prospects left to fill the other spots in the rotation, and maybe a veteran like Mike Mussina or Andy Pettitte would return for another season.
Since I can't imagine that the Yankees conceding the season, the likelihood Sabathia will be in pinstripes by mid-summer has increased dramatically.
Yes, but as I see it, there are two potential ways Cleveland could go with making a C.C. trade decision:
1. We have several team needs to fill (at least one big bat in our lineup, someone reliable for our bullpen), and trading C.C. would hopefully let us fill some of those needs. Besides, letting C.C. walk away at season's end without getting anything for him would be stupid, stupid, stupid.
2. Fausto's injured. Westbrook's out for the season. With our options at starting pitching now limited and with a lot of season left to play (we could still make a run at the Central), giving up C.C. now could very well take us out of serious contention. Sure, his record's 5-8 right now, but he's pitched like last year's self for his past 10 or so starts. He's one of two dependable active starters for Cleveland right now (Laffey and Sowers are too young for me to consider them dependable). Do we really want to give that up now?
There are obviously pros and cons to both decisions. I think it depends on what the Yankees have to offer Cleveland. Honestly, I'm not sure the Yanks have anything right now that would make giving up C.C. worth it — but then again, I have a completely biased opinion.
This is a tough call for both sides. If you are Cleveland, though, I think you have to be realistic. Sabathia is not re-signing, and holding him when you can accumulate a few young prospects is foolish.
I hope we don't trade for Sabathia. As much as we need pitching now, I'd sacrifice the rest of this season instead of making a deal we'll probably regret next year.
It's a lisfranc injury, just as anticipated. 6 weeks in a boot, minimum. September is a possibility, but I wouldn't count on it.
As a fan of the Brewers there has been much talk of the Brewers aquiring C.C.
As the lyrics of a famous polka declare " You can have him, we don't want him, he's too fat for us." True, the man can throw darts, but with his arm comes the rest of his body…which is made primarily of butter. here are some, not all of C.C.'s injury history…..
This guys muscles are made of butter……

Mathews' 2014 regular season campaign comes to an end after appearing in only six games, registering 330 yards and three touchdowns on 74 attempts on the ground. Branden Oliver, Donald Brown and Ronnie Brown will all shoulder the load in the running game.
According to Vegas Insiders, the Chargers are a 1-point underdog at Kansas City. San Diego can clinch a playoff spot with a win on Sunday.
If Mathews can't play, Branden Oliver, Donald Brown and Ronnie Brown would share backfield duties. The Chargers are 3-point underdogs.
Oliver showed plenty of burst while continually churning out positive plays, leading the running-back carousel with 16 of the Chargers backs' 29 touches. Ronnie Brown managed to pick up 33 yards on seven carries while adding a nine-yard reception, and Donald Brown delivered 12 yards on four carries as well as a four-yard reception.
If starter Ryan Mathews cannot play in Week 17, Oliver figures to once again lead a multifaceted rushing attack. The Chargers will square off with the Chiefs next Sunday.
Carrethers had already been ruled out for Sunday's game so his absence won't be unexpected. The team does have all three of its questionable players available for action, as linebacker Donald Butler (quad) and offensive linemen D.J. Fluker (concussion) and Chris Watt (calf) are active. Also active are all the team's probable players, including quarterback Philip Rivers (chest), defensive tackle Corey Liuget (knee) and linebacker Andrew Gachkar (knee).
Addae is inactive after being listed as questionable on the team's final injury report Friday. Lissemore was doubtful to play in Week 11.
The team will have all six players listed as probable available against the Raiders, including running back Ryan Mathews (knee), wide receiver Seyi Ajirotutu (not injury related), center Rich Ohrnberger (back) and linebackers Manti Te'o (foot), Dwight Freeney (not injury related) and Jeremiah Attaochu (hamstring).
Brown received just one carry, gaining 8 yards. He also caught his only target, picking up 2 yards on the play. Brown will look for more Week 9 against the Dolphins.
In the passing game, tight end Garrett Graham and Damaris Johnson were each limited to one catch on one target. Graham caught a 26-yard pass in the first quarter, and Johnson caught a 4-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick on the opening drive. Jonathan Grimes rushed for 9 yards on three carries, while Ronnie Brown gained 2 yards on three carries.
The team released three running backs earlier Monday, including Andre Brown, who was thought to be the leader for the No. 2 role heading into camp. Ronnie Brown, 32, carried the ball 45 times for 157 yards (3.5 YPC) and one TD while catching eight passes for 60 yards last season with the Chargers. Powell, 26, didn't play last season after rushing for 216 yards on 59 carries in 2012.
Brown, 32, is an impending free agent.
His absence would give Ronnie Brown and Danny Woodhead work as the dual featured backs. Brown rushed for 77 yards on just eight carries in the Wild Card defeat of Cincinnati, but 59 of those yards were churned up on a touchdown run that clinched the victory.
"Ronnie Brown is a team favorite and a great teammate," quarterback Philip Rivers said, per the website. "He's so unselfish. He's dressed so many games and not played. When he's called on, you see why he was picked high in the draft and why he's had a heck of a career. We're glad we got him."
Brown broke out a 58 yard touchdown run late in the game, essentially putting the nail in the coffin for the Bengals. He finished the game with eight carries for 77 yards. Ryan Mathews injured his ankle in the third quarter, which allowed Brown to get more playing time than usual. He'll take on the Broncos next week.
Ryan Mathews left the game with an injured hamstring in the third quarter, and the team turned to Brown as their primary runner the rest of the way. Brown only received six carries, picking up 23 yards. The team opted to give Danny Woodhead a goal-line carry after Mathews left, which may have taken away a touchdown from Brown. Brown also caught one pass for -1 yards.
Brown will face off against the Bengals Week 13.
Brown's work came early on, after Ryan Mathews was dinged on a long run. Brown had to finish off the team's first offensive drive, and then played the entire second series. Mathews was able to return, pushing Brown to the bench. He finished with 39 yards.
Brown will face the Dolphins Week 11.
Brown saw three carries for 14 yards in the game. He had a long run of 9 yards. McClain had two carries for 4 yards. Neither back scored.
San Diego has a bye Week 8 and returns Week 9 at Washington.
They are running back Ronnie Brown (ankle), offensive lineman Jeromey Clary (clavicle), tackle D.J. Fluker (calf), defensive end Corey Liuget (shoulder), cornerback Richard Marshall (groin), cornerback Johnny Patrick (chest) and cornerback Shareece Wright (hamstring).
All were full participants in practice throughout the week but Clary and Brown, who were so on Thursday and Friday.
Fullback Le'Ron McClain ran twice for 3 yards and caught a pass for minus-1 yard. Ronnie Brown carried twice for 3 yards.
Brown is averaging 3.1 yards per carry, worse than Woodhead's 3.7-yard average, and has six catches in five games. Brown is no lock to get goal-line carries either. Keep him on your bench Week 6 against the Colts.
He was part of the problem, not the solution with just 11 yards in seven carries for a disturbing 1.6 average. But he was no worse than his peers in the San Diego backfield, which combined for 32 yards rushing in 19 attempts against a heretofore mediocre Raiders run defense.
Brown, who has earned a reputation as a pass-catching back, did cash in on all three of his targets for 21 yards. He will try to provide more production as a runner next Monday night against the Colts.
Brown finished with just 6 rushing yards on five carries. He had no receptions. Brown will look to add onto his totals in Week 4 vs. Dallas.
The Chargers face the Titans in Tennessee in Week 3.
Brown plays at Philadelphia in Week 2.
"I've been raised with (Denver head coach) John Fox in this league," McCoy said, via FoxSports.com. "We always played with a couple of backs. It doesn't matter who's in there. Keep them fresh.
"That's the big thing. Play the hot hand while you roll. If you've got to tap out for a play or two, we'll put the next guy in."

Thirty indicted on charges of selling drugsATLANTA - Thirty people accused of being members of a violent north Georgia drug gang have been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of selling cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine. U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias said Monday that all 30 defendants face the three drug charges as part of an 18-month northwest Georgia investigation federal authorities call ''Operation Reclaim.'' Twenty-seven of the defendants also are charged with being part of a racketeering conspiracy. As of Monday, 27 of the defendants had been arrested on federal charges, Nahmias said. Authorities said 47 weapons were recovered during one of the arrests. The five killings involved in the case occurred in northwest Georgia's Floyd and Polk counties. Two arrested after dog found burned in oven SAVANNAH - Police have arrested two people after a woman returned home to find her home burglarized and her dog burned to death in the oven. Angela DeLettre returned home Thursday afternoon to find her back door open, items missing and her kitchen sink overflowing with water. She was able to find one of her dogs, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu named Pepper. But she was unable to find her other dog, a 1-year-old rat terrier. Police later found the dog burned to death in the oven, which had been set to 400 degrees. Alexander Davis, 19 and Evelyn Jeanette Williams, 24, were arrested after police received an anonymous tip. - From wire reports

Inequities in Paid Sick Days Access, "No-Fault" Attendance Policies Show Need for Public Policy
According to a new analysis of the 2014 National Study of Employers, many workers whose companies offer paid sick days still face barriers to access. The report, co-authored by Families and Work Institute (FWI) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) as part of their joint When Work Works project, finds that many firms exclude part-time workers from their paid sick time policies and some impose unfair and counterproductive "no-fault attendance policies."Read Online

Unfortunately, far too many workers still lack paid leave, including paid sick days and paid family and medical leave.Read Online
