CMPD Officer On Leave Pending Review Of Domestic Dispute
By editor
A CMPD officer is on paid leave while the department investigates a 911 call to the officer's home in Gaston County, WCNC-TV reports. The roommate of officer Gina Cook reported "a little bit of shoving" and "verbal abuse" when she made the call on July 7th, according to the 911 tapes obtained by WCNC. Cook is a 22-year veteran of CMPD and serves in the agency's K-9 unit. WCNC reports it's the second time she's been investigated for domestic violence. In 2003, a judge gave Cook deferred prosecution after she was accused of choking a woman.

Geographic Range
Milkfish are native to regions in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Their range spans from the east coast of Africa and Madagascar to the coasts of India and Southeast Asia around Malaysia, Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, northward to the southern tip of Japan, and eastward into the Pacific Islands. (Bagarinao, 1994)
- Biogeographic Regions
- indian ocean
- pacific ocean
Milkfish are usually found along the coasts of continents or islands, particularly where reefs are well developed. They also occur in large coastal lagoons. Milkfish are found in tropical waters, rarely in waters that are affected by cold ocean currents. They are found in clear, shallow, saline, and warm waters above 20°C. Adult milkfish also occur in freshwater lakes in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Madagascar. Juveniles are found in large coastal lagoons, atolls, and freshwater lakes. The depth range of the milkfish is 0 to 30 m. (Bagarinao, 1994)

- 0.00 to 98.43 ft
Physical Description
Milkfish have a long, muscular, silvery body with a forked tail. The forked tail is fairly large and strong, thus making them fast and powerful swimmers of the open sea (Bagarinao 1994). Milkfish have large eyes, a pointed snout with a terminal mouth, and cycloid scales. The total length ranges from 50 cm to 180 cm (Bagarinao 1994, Gale 2003). They weigh between 4 and 14 kg (Bagarinao 1994). Milkfish have 13 to 17 rays in their dorsal fin, 6 to 8 anal rays, 15 to 17 pectoral rays, and 10 to 11 pelvic rays (Gale 2003). (Bagarinao, 1994; "Milkfish Chanos chanos", 2003)
There have been rare occurrences of variant forms of milkfish. One variant, found in the Philippines, has distinctly long dorsal, pelvic and anal fins, and the caudal fin is as long as the length of the body. This variant is the 'goldfish-type' milkfish. Another variant, seen in Hawaii, Indonesia, and Australia, is called the 'shad-type' milkfish because its length-to-depth ratio is 2.0 to 2.5 instead of the typical 3.5 to 4.0. (Bagarinao, 1994)
- Other Physical Features
- ectothermic
- heterothermic
- bilateral symmetry
- Sexual Dimorphism
- sexes alike
- Range mass
- 4 to 14 kg
- 8.81 to 30.84 lb
- Range length
- 50 to 180 cm
- 19.69 to 70.87 in
Fertilized milkfish eggs can be found in the open sea of tropical waters. The eggs are spherical in shape and range from 1.1 to 1.25 mm in diameter (Bagarinao 1994). The eggs have a yellowish yolk and lack oil globules. The outer embryonic membrane seems to be granular with a distinct, segmented pattern. There is a narrow perivitelline space present in milkfish eggs (Garcia 1990). Development of the embryo takes about 20 to 35 hours in water temperatures of 26 to 32°C and of salinity 29 to 34 ppt (Bagarinao 1994). (Bagarinao, 1994; Garcia, 1990)
Once the eggs hatch, the larvae are about 3.5 mm total length. At hatching, the larvae's eyes are not pigmented and their mouth is not open (Bagarinao 1994). For about five days milkfish larvae depend solely on their yolk for nutrients (Garcia 1990). (Bagarinao, 1994; Garcia, 1990)
Milkfish larvae go through a series of complex morphological, physiological, and behavioral stages, which last about 2 to 4 weeks, before becoming juveniles. Younger larvae occur in water depths of 20 to 30 m, while older larvae occur near the water's surface. Younger larvae occur both near and far from shore. More advanced larval stages begin to migrate towards nearshore areas, and are found most frequently there (Bagarinao 1994; Garcia 1990). Milkfish larvae migrate towards shore when they are about 10 to 17 mm total length (Garcia 1990). (Bagarinao, 1994; Garcia, 1990)
Once milkfish become larger than 20 mm total length they are considered juveniles. Juveniles appear to have the same characteristics and structure of adult milkfish (Garcia 1990). Juveniles enter brackish water and coastal wetland habitats where the food supply is more abundant. The kind of habitat, depth, and connection with the sea has been found to be the factors determining maximum size and duration of stay of juvenile milkfish in the nursery grounds (Bagarinao 1994). (Bagarinao, 1994; Garcia, 1990)
Growth and development of milkfish is influenced by water temperature. Temperatures between 23.7 to 33°C seem to be the optimal temperatures for development of milkfish larvae. The rate of development is faster at higher temperatures. Temperatures lower than 20°C and up to 22.6°C cause young milkfish to be rather sluggish, thus making them more vulnerable to predation. (Villaluz and Unggui, 1983)
- Development - Life Cycle
- metamorphosis
Not much is known about mating systems and behaviors in milkfish. (Bagarinao, 1994)
Milkfish breed near shore in clean, clear, saline, warm, and shallow waters over sand or coral reefs. These spawning locations are as close as 6 km off shore (Bagarinao 1994) but are no more than 30 km off shore (Garcia 1994). Milkfish may spawn more than once a year and spawning usually takes place during the night. Spawning is highly seasonal and may be influenced by the lunar cycle (Bagarinao 1994). Milkfish breeding season is longer near the equator than at higher latitudes. The length of the spawning season may be influenced by surface water temperatures in certain areas (Garcia 1990). (Bagarinao, 1994; Garcia, 1990)
- Key Reproductive Features
- iteroparous
- seasonal breeding
- gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate)
- sexual
- fertilization
- broadcast (group) spawning
- oviparous
- Breeding interval
- Milkfish may spawn more than once a year.
- Breeding season
- Spawning usually takes place at night and may be influenced by the lunar cycle. Milkfish breeding may occur throughout much of the year, depending on latitude.
- Range number of offspring
- 0.5 million eggs to 6 million eggs
- Range time to hatching
- 20 to 35 hours
- Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
- 3 to 10 years
- Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male)
- 3 to 10 years
There does not appear to be any parental involvement once the eggs have been released into the water. (Bagarinao, 1994; Garcia, 1990)
- Parental Investment
- no parental involvement
- provisioning
- female
Not much is known about natural mortality rates of adult milkfish, but the shortest recorded lifespan of milkfish is 3 years and the maximum lifespan is 15 years. Most mortality occurs at the egg and larval stages. (Bagarinao, 1994)
- Range lifespan
Status: wild
- 3 to 15 years
- Range lifespan
- Average lifespan
Status: captivity
- 15 years
- AnAge
- Average lifespan
The behavior of milkfish is still one of the areas that has yet to be extensively studied. Large schools of milkfish have been seen in nearshore waters with well-developed reefs and in coastal lagoons, suggesting that they are social. (Bagarinao, 1994)
- Key Behaviors
- natatorial
- motile
- social
Communication and Perception
Not much is known about how milkfish communicate with one another during mating or how they perceive the environment. Like all fishes, they have a well-developed sensory system, including a lateral line system and a well-developed sense of vision. Milkfish are members of the Ostariophysi, which produce and respond to an alarm substance. This alarm substance is produced when the skin of the milkfish has been injured, particularly by a predator. This alarm substance warns other fish to seek a hiding place in order to avoid the predator. (Doving, 2000)
- Communication Channels
- chemical
- Other Communication Modes
- pheromones
Food Habits
Milkfish feed on a variety of foods depending on the type of environment. As larvae they feed on zooplankton. As they develop into juveniles they start to feed on benthic items. The most common food items for juveniles are cynobacteria, diatoms, detritus, green algae, and invertebrates such as small crustaceans and worms. Adults feed on similar items, and on planktonic and nektonic prey such as clupeid juveniles. Adult milkfish have a well-developed epibranchial organ, which is an extension of the alimentary canal. The epibranchial organ allows milkfish to digest plant material (Gale 2003). (Bagarinao, 1994; "Milkfish Chanos chanos", 2003)
- Primary Diet
- omnivore
- Animal Foods
- fish
- aquatic or marine worms
- aquatic crustaceans
- other marine invertebrates
- zooplankton
- Plant Foods
- algae
- Other Foods
- detritus
Milkfish are most vulnerable to predators in the egg, larval, and fry stages. In order to minimize the impact of predation, milkfish produce large amounts of eggs in deep water (Bagarinao 1994). (Bagarinao, 1994; Villaluz, 1990)
- Known Predators
- Indo-Pacific tarpon Megalops cyprinoides
- tenpounder Elops machnata
Ecosystem Roles
Not much is known about the effects that milkfish have on the ecosystem. They are important as both predators and prey of other fish species and of coastal planktonic communities. (Bagarinao, 1994)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Milkfish are commercially raised for food in the Philippines and Indonesia (Gale 2003). More than a quarter of a million tons of milkfish are harvested every year in brackish ponds in Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Philippines. These fish contribute around 60% of the total fish production from aquaculture in Southeast Asia (Garcia 1990). ("Milkfish Chanos chanos", 2003; Garcia, 1990)
- Positive Impacts
- food
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known adverse effects of Chanos chanos on humans.
Conservation Status
Chanos chanos populations seem to be stable, this species is not listed on any conservation registry.

- Pacific Ocean
body of water between the southern ocean (above 60 degrees south latitude), Australia, Asia, and the western hemisphere. This is the world's largest ocean, covering about 28% of the world's surface.
- bilateral symmetry
having body symmetry such that the animal can be divided in one plane into two mirror-image halves. Animals with bilateral symmetry have dorsal and ventral sides, as well as anterior and posterior ends. Synapomorphy of the Bilateria.
- brackish water
areas with salty water, usually in coastal marshes and estuaries.
- chemical
uses smells or other chemicals to communicate
- coastal
the nearshore aquatic habitats near a coast, or shoreline.
- detritus
particles of organic material from dead and decomposing organisms. Detritus is the result of the activity of decomposers (organisms that decompose organic material).
- ectothermic
animals which must use heat acquired from the environment and behavioral adaptations to regulate body temperature
- external fertilization
fertilization takes place outside the female's body
- fertilization
union of egg and spermatozoan
- food
A substance that provides both nutrients and energy to a living thing.
- freshwater
mainly lives in water that is not salty.
- heterothermic
having a body temperature that fluctuates with that of the immediate environment; having no mechanism or a poorly developed mechanism for regulating internal body temperature.
- iteroparous
offspring are produced in more than one group (litters, clutches, etc.) and across multiple seasons (or other periods hospitable to reproduction). Iteroparous animals must, by definition, survive over multiple seasons (or periodic condition changes).
- metamorphosis
A large change in the shape or structure of an animal that happens as the animal grows. In insects, "incomplete metamorphosis" is when young animals are similar to adults and change gradually into the adult form, and "complete metamorphosis" is when there is a profound change between larval and adult forms. Butterflies have complete metamorphosis, grasshoppers have incomplete metamorphosis.
- motile
having the capacity to move from one place to another.
- natatorial
specialized for swimming
- native range
the area in which the animal is naturally found, the region in which it is endemic.
- omnivore
an animal that mainly eats all kinds of things, including plants and animals
- oviparous

- pheromones
chemicals released into air or water that are detected by and responded to by other animals of the same species
- reef
structure produced by the calcium carbonate skeletons of coral polyps (Class Anthozoa). Coral reefs are found in warm, shallow oceans with low nutrient availability. They form the basis for rich communities of other invertebrates, plants, fish, and protists. The polyps live only on the reef surface. Because they depend on symbiotic photosynthetic algae, zooxanthellae, they cannot live where light does not penetrate.
- saltwater or marine
mainly lives in oceans, seas, or other bodies of salt water.
- seasonal breeding
breeding is confined to a particular season
- sexual
reproduction that includes combining the genetic contribution of two individuals, a male and a female

- visual
uses sight to communicate
- zooplankton
animal constituent of plankton; mainly small crustaceans and fish larvae. (Compare to phytoplankton.)

I had a hunch that perhaps this might have been Prospere's clever method of recording the identity of his informant. The thinking was that perhaps this ramrod straight and honest man wanted to protect his investigation in the event that the investigation should outlive the investigators -- an eventuality that he knew, even in 1964, was a possibility. I knew better than to call Prospere and expect anything more than a "no comment."
It seemed all that was left was to begin searching for Ernest Gilbert.
Disappointingly, there were plenty of Ernest Gilberts listed as deceased in the Social Security death index. I began searching for phone listings in several Southern states. With a Web-based search engine, I found two -- one in Mississippi and another in Louisiana.
Thinking Mississippi would be my best shot, I immediately called the Ernest Gilbert in Louisiana, wanting to save the best shot for last. An elderly man's voice answered on the first or second ring. I asked, "Is this Ernest Gilbert?" The voice replied gruffly, "Who wants to know?"
I introduced myself and politely, if vaguely, explained that I was looking for an Ernest Gilbert who might have lived in southern Mississippi in the mid-1960s around the time the FBI was investigating civil rights cases.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, interrupted after a few seconds by the gruff voice telling me, "I am Ernest Gilbert, and if you come around here, I'll kill you. I have a shotgun and I promise you. … I'll shoot you if I see you coming down my driveway."
The phone line went dead.
I called back, and so began a series of phone conversations in which Gilbert's mood swung wildly from threatening to contrite.
Yes. He was JN-30R.
Yes. He had remained anonymous all these years.
"How the hell did you find me?" he asked. "I have never even told my family about that part of my life!"
"It was awful … what happened to those two boys," he continued.
Seizing the opportunity, I asked him, "Would you like to see justice?"
"Yes. I want justice for those two boys," Gilbert said. "They never deserved what happened to them."
At first, Gilbert refused to give "20/20" an interview. He said he was terrified to go public -- even now -- because if the killers found out that he was an FBI informant, they would surely want to kill him, too.
Eventually, he agreed to meet me -- without cameras present. Then he again threatened to kill me. Then he changed his mind again, and two weeks later, in April 2000, I found myself sitting across a kitchen table in a tiny house somewhere in rural Louisiana -- face to face with JN-30R -- the one man whose testimony could, according to the FBI reports, solve a terrible civil rights murder case gone cold.
Gilbert was a tortured soul. With a turned-down mouth and deep-sunk, black-ringed eyes, he looked like a man bearing a massive burden of guilt … like a man who hadn't slept in months -- maybe decades. Over five hours, Gilbert chain-smoked at least three packs of cigarettes as we plumbed the darkest recesses of his memory.
At one point he began gagging, got up and vomited into a sink. This was a man in a state of catharsis. The result was his decision to go public for the first time -- to finally shed a cloak of anonymity that had protected him for 36 years.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards chief said a U.S. military attack on Syria would lead to the "imminent destruction" of Israel and would prove a "second Vietnam" for America, according to an Iranian news agency.
Shi'ite Muslim Iran, an arch-enemy of Israel, is supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad against mainly Sunni Muslim rebels trying to oust him in a two-and-a-half-year-old revolt.
Iran has blamed the rebels for a suspected chemical weapons on August 21 that killed hundreds of civilians. Opposition activists blame Assad's forces, Washington has agreed and President Barack Obama made the case for a limited military strike against Syria in response to the chemical attack.
Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said in an interview late on Wednesday with the Tasnim news agency that a U.S. strike on Syria would not helpIsrael.
"An attack on Syria will mean the imminent destruction of Israel," Jafari said, according to Tasnim.
The interview was widely picked up by Iranian media on Thursday. Tasnim, which launched in 2012, says on its website that it is devoted to "defending the Islamic Revolution against negative media propaganda".
Jafari, as quoted by Tasnim, also warned the United States that it risked embroilment in a costly and protracted struggle if it intervened in Syria.
"Syria will turn into a more dangerous and deadly battlefield than the Vietnam War, and in fact, Syria will become the second Vietnam for the United States," he said.

How do you categorize these answers who are prevalent in this thread. And lots of others who voted are of a similar opinion.
If they remove their pay to win cash shop and replace it with monthly fee,then maybe i could give it a shot.
Give me either a cash shop or a sub. Not both.
but to be honest they are smart enough to make games thatw e want to and have fun and they dont really want to take our money monthly so we can have fun
Now GW2 is using the B2P method, which we don't see many mmo's using this pay structure, I wish them the best and hope it doesn't end up like a F2P cash shop.
I would, if the cash shop would go as a consequence.
I wouldn't pay a sub for GW2. I love the game and give it props above all others, but I wouldn't pay a sub.
NO, just like i wont pay a sub for TERA, TSW, SWTOR, RIFT (i own 3 of those games for the free month and the free to lvl 15-20 trials)
This thread is stupid. There is no subscription fee in Guild Wars 2. Why are you arguing over something that will never happen?
I like their B2P method for this style of mmo, it is a good backup mmo to your main mmorpg that you need to take a break from.
Nope. There isn't any MMO that can really get me to pay a sub right now though. I'm burned out on them.
Fail-ed Thread there's no sub for GW2 in the 1st place, TS need to read get the facts right before wasting time opening useless threads.
I would pay a subscription IF the cash shop was dropped
No, I want to be able to play at my own leisure. Adding a sub fee means less people play too.
I could go on on previous pages but I'll stop on page 17
It's easy to see that there is
1) A general hatred towards subs, that has nothing to do with GW2, lots of people wouldn't pay a sub FOR ANY GAME. Lots of people still love Guild Wars 2 above others but they still won't pay.
2) People misunderstand the Cash Shop and there is no option for "without a Cash Shop"
Both of the above lead to "NO" as answer although it's pretty clear it doesn't mean "Guild Wars 2 isn't worth a sub"

Logic be damned!
I'd pay a sub for GW2 - I'm glad I don't have to, I'm sure I'll be spending $ for things in the shop on a regular basis.
I like supporting the artists/entertainers/companies etc. whose work I enjoy with my financial contributions.
I hate hate hate people who say that they "love" a band or some such, yet download all their music illegally, never buy any merchandise or go to any shows, etc.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

If they have a general strong hatred towards subs, that has nothing to do with GW2, then it is possible that they don't think any game is "worth a sub". The negatives that a sub brings is not outweighted by the positives of the game, no matter how many other games fail to be enough positive, and therefore it is not "worth a sub".
I'll put emphasis on that just because people may think GW2 is not worth a sub, it doesn't mean that GW2 is a bad game or that it is worse than other games, it just means that GW2 is not good enough to outweight the negatives of a sub.

I would not pay subs for any MMO anymore cos I do not wish to rent a game.
Once you start to pay subs, the game will definitely have the old stupid justified ( fanboys excuse )
repitition content grinding like all other P2P MMO.
I would rather buy Steam sales game then give the monthly subs for an MMO.
Pardon my English as it is not my 1st language :)

I'll put emphasis on the fact that lots of "No" come from people who believe GW2 is the best game out there but they still wouldn't pay a sub, because they wouldn't pay a sub for any game. It doesn't matter how good it is or if the good can outweight the sub, they wouldn't pay in any possible way.
Also the OP is clearly lost in TSW forums so he wouldn't respond in any way. His "intentions" for making this poll should've been obvious, I still don't understand why this silly poll reached so many pages.

Here's just SOME of the possible views a 'no' answer means, all of which were represented in the comments.
No, because I would not buy GW2.
No, because I wouldn't pay a sub for any game.
No, because GW2 doesn't HAVE a sub, so this is a dumb question
No, because I don't think a game should have a cash shop and a sub fee.
No, because I think that would mean Arenanet has proven themselves untrustworthy
No, because a sub game should be designed that way from the beginning.
No, because I don't really understand the poorly worded question or the intention.
No, because I like GW2 mainly because it has no sub.
You're saying that almost everybody falls into the last category, with a smattering of answer 2, when there's no proof to back up your conclusions.
Some of the answers even conflict. You're claiming the answers paint one picture, but you can't prove it other than your gut feeling. You can't even point to a series of other polls to show where you're pulling your figures from.
The only question this poll answers is 'Are the OP and several other people bad at making a poll you can extract useful information from, or even understanding what kind of information you can extract from a bad answer', and the answer is a resounding 'yes'.

You make, you buy, you die!
I've preorder this game. But would not do that if there was a subscription.
Never played GW1 and most likely will not.
The one thing I trust in this game, and the developers, is that is as playable for me as any other playing the game in the (only avaible) free/buy to play version.
Most other games that have this either have something that makes me subscribe. They can name it all what they want, the companys are not stupid and I don't look down on it, but in the end they are tactical enough to try get people into subscribing.
I have yet to find a free to play gane(without subscription offer) that is worth playing and that is where I feel guild wars 2 will succeed.
So why would I (as in me) not buy the game if there was a subscription?
It is simple, there are a multitude of games I bougth over the years that are good and I don't believe that there will be a next bestest game ever. Neither do I believe that GW2 is the next bestest thing, if it had a subscription we would only yet see a game get written down, ex-[whatevergame]players become [whatevergame] player again.
Biggest thing speaking for GW2 is that there is no subscription people can play it whenever they want without yet a nother subscription to pay in addition to their addiction mmo.

You can like the game a lot for reasons unrelated to the pricing model, and still think that a specific pricing model is so negative that any like is outweighted by your dislike for the pricing model.

I didn't want to post an answer about this right away so I thought on it a few days. I would pay a monthly as long as I felt like playing an MMO. But I like many MMOers are seeing times have changed and 15 bucks a month is a rip off. So I would play GW2 because its quality but the day a MMO of good quality came out that gave a reasonable monthly fee I would be gone no matter how involved I was in GW2. ANet has gone a long way to winning my loyalty with its payment model. I love WoW but if blizzard goes the same business model after GW2 makes it work, I won't go back to WoW.

My problem with monthly subs is they are all $15 or so. May not seem like that much but its too much for a game sub.
Id have multiple game subs if they were $5 a month.
$15? zero.
Cancelled SWTOR after 4 months cause it wasn't really worth $15 a month. Id go back if they dropped it to $5

I would pay Blizzard, PWI, Funcom, SOE, NCSoft, and EA all a full monthly sub fee if that's what was required to access GW2, and feel like I was finally getting my money's worth from all those tards.

Capitals depth chart: Heavy on the right
Capitals have difficult season ahead
Barring the unlikely event of a free-agent signing, it's a safe bet that how the Capitals look right now is pretty much how they'll look when they open training camp in the second week of September.
Judging from the recent comments made by general manager George McPhee and head coach Adam Oates the Capitals biggest addition to this year's lineup will be … Brooks Laich.
Maybe not the free-agent center Caps fans were hoping for, but with very few roster alterations this summer, here's a depth chart we've put together, with 2013-14 cap hits for each player.
Today, we'll look at the forward line combinations. Tomorrow, the defense pairings and goaltenders.
Forward Lines
Marcus Johansson [RFA] Nicklas Backstrom [$6.7m] Alex Ovechkin [$9.538m]
Martin Erat [$4.5m] Brooks Laich [$4.5m] Troy Brouwer [$3.666m]
Eric Fehr [$1.5m] Mathieu Perreault [$1.05 million] Joel Ward [$3 million]
Jason Chimera [$1.75m] Jay Beagle [$900,000] Tom Wilson [$1.294m]
Extra: Aaron Volpatti [$575,000]
There are a few issues with the above lineup.
First, the Caps don't want to develop Wilson with fourth-line minutes. The fiery right wing could add a significant and much-needed physical element to the Caps' lineup, but where else could he play?
Could the Caps move Troy Brouwer to the left and construct a bruising second line of Brouwer, Laich and Wilson? Do they put Wilson on the third line with Perreault and Fehr? If that happens, are they willing to pay Ward $3 million as a fourth-liner?
Another issue is putting Fehr on the left side. He's a right-handed shot and Oates likes keeping his righties on the right side of the ice. If Fehr moves to the right, who does he replace?
And if Wilson is not on the team, do the Caps have enough faith in Volpatti to make him an everyday player?
Your thoughts?

'Friday Night Lights' Goes for a Repeat
The first-season finale of
There's a reason most sports movies stop before that: The aftermath of success is not always pretty. But then "Friday Night Lights" has never been like most shows.
"The football stories this year are about how this team is going to deal with its own success. The challenges to that are both from the outside world and of their own making," executive producer Jason Katims says. "... It's about surviving your own success.
"In terms of the rest of the show, we continue the tradition of what we think the show has been -- which is to observe the minutiae, the smaller moments and the real moments, but at the same time employ really aggressive storytelling and throw some big curveballs at the audience."
One of those curveballs, which has already generated a lot of discussion, takes place at the end of the premiere and involves Tyra (Adrianne Palicki), Landry (Jesse Plemons) and the man who assaulted Tyra late last season. "There's a huge storyline with that," Palicki notes. "It will be interesting to see the reaction the viewers have."
The story is a bit of a departure for the series, which, as Katims says, aims to capture the small moments that make up its characters' lives. But it also comes from the writers' realization that Plemons, who was the show's most consistently funny actor last season, could also handle the heavier stuff.
"We gave him that story where he's the one who discovers Tyra after she's almost raped," Katims says. "That was a great, wonderful surprise, to watch how he stepped up and how good he is. So this year, we're still giving him funny stuff, but we're also giving him a lot of good dramatic material as well."
It's also far from the only new dynamic on the series, which picks up eight months after the events of last season's finale. Dillon has an autocratic new coach (Chris Mulkey) that alienates some of his players and leaves new assistant coach Jason Street (Scott Porter) stuck in the middle. Coach Eric Taylor (
As always, Eric and Tami form the center of the show. Their separation -- which was Tami's idea -- will be "fodder for some great drama," Britton says.
"Can you imagine just having a baby and having your husband take off, and I'm the one who encouraged him to do it?" Britton says. "They're going to have some tough things. I've got to deal with a teenage daughter and all the rest of it. So it'll be interesting. ... I'm sure [anything] can come into play."
Even with all the changes that have taken place, Palicki believes fans -- who are ardent, if not that numerous; "FNL" was among the least-watched shows to earn a pickup for this season -- will still find the honest emotions and slice-of-life dynamics that made them fall in love with the show in the first place.
"There was a lot of fear [starting season two] because living up to last season was a scary thing," she says. "But the writing has been phenomenal -- it's kind of like we never left. We're still going at the pace we were before ... and it still has the same energy. It's been fantastic."

Dealing with deer
I livein rural Virginia and have just gotten back into motorcycling. I have hit two deer with my car and am worried about hitting one on the bike. The only solution I can come up with is to slow WAY down when on a back road where deer may be lurking. I do kill and eat them too. Any thoughts?
Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk
you need to buy one of these:
and two of these:
Ride slower - that's the only thing that's guaranteed to help. Avoid dawn and dusk as well, and ride especially slowly when you're near woods or blind shoulders.
Deer whistles are $6 a pop. When you think about it, if they only have a 1% chance of saving you $600 (and/or a .1% chance of saving you $6,000), they're worth the investment.
I don't think that there is any guaranteed way to prevent from smacking 'Bambi' while riding. They are all over the place where I live and I have had an encounter with a kamikaze doe on the SV. It was about 30 minutes after sundown and she bolted directly in front of me in a blind corner.
I don't ride after dark anymore-that's the only way I can increase my odds because I have a better chance of seeing them and making some evasive actions.
Best advice I can give is to kill all of them...with extreme prejudice.:D
Lights! Bright lights. It's easy to wire a set of PIAA's and a set of Hella's. I always used to have the Hella's aimed to brighten the shoulders, and the PIAA's to brighten the road. The 1100GS has more than enough alternator power to keep up with the load.
I wired mine on a fused relay directly to the battery, with separate handlebar mounted switches. I used the headlight as my simple On through the relay.
You can make a light bar with a $15 piece of aluminum stock. There are two screws under the headlight assembly on your GS. Perfect for mounting the bar. Just try to keep the lights close enough to the center of the bike so that when you drop the bike, the crash bars protect them.
I had great luck with these lights, until I changed the relay and had them turn Off with the Dim switch.
From now on I'm leaving them On unless I'm in heavy traffic. In heavy traffic I'll turn off the PIAA's.
I've hit 3 deer with bikes, hopefully no more. All were in daytime. ATGATT helped. but broken bones still can happen. The critters can come out of anywhere besides forests, such as overgrown ditches, farm fence rows, etc. Be aware, not paranoid. Keep scanning using peripheral vision for movement. And remember, if you see one, look for others. Right now is a good time to see deer moving, as they're starting to drop fawns. The worst time is in fall, during the rut and when harvesting is occurring. Best advice is to just keep on the lookout.
And it's not just out in the woods and farms, we have deer strikes here in town. I've had close calls on a 4-lane residential boulevard.
Bright lights and ride slower, deer are out anytime day or night just be aware of the ambush spots.
Scan the woods and slow down. That's all you can do, other than bright lights if your stockers are a little weak. I whacked one last summer - I was going slower than normal because it was prime deer time and location, so I bumped it without going down. It only cost me $300 in plastic. Another 10-20mph and to could have been much worse.
What I don't understand is why deer hunting is so regulated. It should be open season, year round with no limits. Not looking to make them extinct, just get their #'s down to a maneagable size. There are more around now, than before the first Europeans arrived, many moons ago.
After riding up here and then riding in the midwest I am not used to scanning for them. Almost took one straight one a few years ago, lucky for me he moved at the last second. On the other hand we have moose and I have learned to scan now. :lol3
I've hit two on a motorcycle, (and I quit counting in four wheeled vehicles,) I live in old abandoned farm country which are now thick wooded baited deer farms.
Lights, Lights, Lights and learn the deer routes, for 20 years the deer on my farm have followed the same routes, crossed at roads, followed the same paths and bedded down at the same times, and changed those times only during weather changes...and deer never travel alone, if there is one, there's probably three.
Watch where the out of town hunters bait deer to, deer will change their pattern for the sweet flavored baits and grass seed they use to draw the deer to their stands.
But all of that goes out the window during rut. Both deer's I hit were during rut, both in areas where they usually didn't cross, both at full speed run. One daylight, one early evening; Actually rut had started a few weeks earlier and I noticed the deer's changing patterns but it was bow hunting only and the deer were not panicked, but once gun season started, the deer started running. I should have waited a few weeks to ride after the majority of gun hunters had gotten their Bucks, and the deer would have settled back into their usual activity.
Rotten eggs mixed with hot pepper will keep them out of your gardens and seedlings.
You guys have it all wrong. It's really the government that's behind the rash of deer attacks. Clandestine government agents hide in the bushes with sophisticated, top secret, deer cannons and wait for unsuspecting motorists to drive by. When least expected they shoot deer at them with alarming speed. It's big brother at his worst!! Protect yourself!
btw, we've tried rotten eggs/hot pepper and a litany of other home made anti-deer recipes and they still eat my wives plants. If they are hungry they'll eat anything. The Rottweiler is the only thing that keeps them out of the yard now...
I don't know why but 4 or 5 years ago (after 25 years of riding) I developed an overwhelming fear of hitting a deer. I understand the risk, and have always understood the risk but I now have this primal fear, completely disproportionate to the actual risk; to the point of being irrational (degree of fear, not the actual respect for the risk). Just sitting here thinking about and my mouth goes dry, my stomach turns and I get that super antsy feeling, like I've downed about a dozen red bulls. I'm convinced if I ever buy the farm on a bike it will be due to a deer strike. I can deal with it (though I wish it would pass), I've given up riding from dusk to dawn, but I hope it doesn't progress to other potential dangers.
I prefer to blind the bastards. :evil
Wheelie over them. :1drink

I hope the girl was ok. I didn't really think this was funny though, I thought it was scarey, she could have been killed !!
YOU need to put yourself in her situation then because if you find this hilarious, you should try it and find out what happens to you!!! There is nothing funny or hilarious about this accident. I know someone who fell through glass sliding doors thicker than this and almost died from ONE cut in one wrong place by an artery, not to mention scars left behind from it that others stare and and the reminder of that pain is always there!!! GLASS is dangerous and not something to laugh about. AGAIN if it happened to you I know you wouldn't want you face up there showing the results and having others laugh about it. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING FUNNY PEOPLE!! GET A LIFE if you think it is because she could have died from falling the wrong way on that glass. I feel sorry for her and am MAD that the job allowed survailance tape to be released on this saying it was something funny! They should never have allowed this to be something submitted as funny, I'm sure her family feels the same
Yeah, I don't see anything funny about this. I don't even like the ones on AFV where people really get hurt. How people can find someone elses painful and/or humiliating experiences to be funny is beyond me. Personally I think it's rather immature and cruel but that's just my opinion. I hope the young lady is alright.
I think it looks like a hollywood set up... It looks like the window was made out of breakaway glass... not a commercial thick panel.
if someone says this isn't funny they are either lying or they are the girl in the video.
srry people i have to say i thought it was funny
not funny people
I dont like this its sick
that was sooo hilarious!!!!!!!

Netgem i-player
4 out of 5
Internet access, free access to extra channels
Keyboard not included, expensive
The days when four, or recently five channels were enough to entertain have long gone. The UK now has more television channels than any other European country and while Sky is still the main alternative to getting more television in your box, Freeview is fast becoming the new way forward.
If you haven't already been blasted with adverts on the BBC, Freeview is just that. Pay a one-shot fee for the box and the rest of your viewing is free (you do still have to pay the licence fee however, as well as having a good-quality aerial in the absence of a dish or cable). Opening up around 50 digital channels the Netgem, once installed will scan and auto set up without you having to lift a finger. Channels will be acquired by the decoder and at the end you have the chance to watch or listen (some digital radio signals are also available) to a wealth of new programming.
Netgem's approach is simple and the unit itself well styled and easy to use. Lights on the front let you know it's active while the plethora of input jacks at the back let you connect it to everything else such as video recorder or DVD. Breaking away from the crowd further the i-Player also comes with telephone jack so you can connect to the internet as well as the capability to include a broadband modem for faster connection.
The internet option unfortunately isn't as clean cut as the television side of things and the experience is rather akin to using an email system in a hotel bedroom. As the dedicated browser works full screen you have to return to the start page every time you want to enter a web address and likewise we had trouble accessing streaming media or flash graphics as nothing can be downloaded.
The remote control features most things you'd expect from a remote and for the text conscious, inputting web addresses or emails shouldn't be too much hassle. For those of us who texting is the last thing we want to do you can get a wireless keyboard for easier control.

Well im glad to say im the first person on here to try this recipe, and be the first to say how easy, quick and absolutley awesome it is! Served as a side dish to steak this evening, and it was ...
Pretty good! Next time I am going to add crab meat, I think that would make it a 5 star dish. And as a main course you might want 2 caps per person.
This was a huge hit. Had to bake it because I didn't have a grill, but it turned out great. And so quick. First time working with portobellos, but it won't be the last.

VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) -- Once Jackie Adamshick calmed Villanova with a big stretch of baskets, the rest of the Wildcats helped out with an upset win over Notre Dame.
"When she started making some shots, we started to relax as a team," Villanova coach Harry Perretta said. "Other people began to make some shots then."
Adamshick had 25 points and Kate Dessart Mager scored the winning basket to lead Villanova to a 59-54 win over the Fighting Irish (No. 3 ESPN/USA Today, No. 4 AP) on Sunday.
Betsy McManus made four free throws in the final 25 seconds for Villanova (9-4, 2-0 Big East), snapping Notre Dame's six-game winning streak. McManus had seven points, two assists and no turnovers in 32 minutes at point guard.
The Fighting Irish (13-2, 2-1) never had an answer for Adamshick in the first half or Dessart Mager in the second. The two combined to go 16-for-30 from the floor with seven rebounds.
"We were just trying find a mismatch in the game that we could go after to help us offensively," Perretta said.
Dessart Mager -- who scored all of her 14 points in the second half -- made the winning basket off the inbounds pass and one second left on the shot clock for a 51-49 lead with 1:39 left and the small, boisterous crowd erupted.
Villanova was looking for Adamshick off a screen, but when she got hung up, Jenna Viani found Dessart Mager wide open underneath the basket.
"Sometimes when you're meant to win, things like that happen," Perretta said.
Dessart Mager and McManus each added two free throws before Notre Dame's Jacqueline Batteast hit a 3-pointer with 13.3 seconds left to make it 55-52. It wasn't enough, though, as Villanova sealed the game at the free-throw line.
"We're coming together as a team. We've seen it lately in practice and we saw it today," Dessart Mager said.
Batteast scored 22 points and Teresa Borton added 17 for Notre Dame. The Irish shot 44 percent from the floor, but Villanova scored 19 points off 20 Irish turnovers.
"We made a lot of mental errors at critical times and it cost us the game," said Irish coach Muffet McGraw, who played at nearby Saint Joseph's. "We made mistakes and they took advantage."
After missing her only shot in the first half, Dessart Mager went 5-for-6 in the second half and scored six straight points in one stretch that helped the Wildcats take a seven-point lead.
When the Irish pulled to 44-43, Adamshick delivered with a 3-pointer from the left side.
"We had a lot of trouble guarding her," McGraw said.
But Adamshick -- who shot 11-for-23 and fell two points shy of matching her career high -- didn't score again. The Irish got baskets from Teresa Borton and Courtney LaVere to make it 47-47.
Dessart Mager and Batteast swapped baskets before Dessart Mager hit the winner.
Notre Dame seemed poised to turn the game into a blowout early until Adamshick started a Villanova run with six straight points and later added a nice spin around two defenders in the lane for an easy layup to cut it to 21-19.
She scored the final two baskets of the first half and helped force a Notre Dame shot-clock violation on its last possession to give the Wildcats a 25-24 halftime lead.
"Most games we start off poorly like that we kind of fall part," Perretta said. "Today, Jackie got the offense going in the first half."
The Wildcats have won four of their last six games against the Irish. Villanova also earned its second win over a ranked team this year, also beating then-No. 23 Penn State in November.

Grime / Dubstep
The Month in Grime / Dubstep
By Martin Clark , May 10, 2006
It's reassuring that even in a world of global seven-figure marketing campaigns, blanket multimedia exposure for anyone lucky enough to land on MTV, and commercial radio's creatively strangled output, once or twice a year an album can virally emerge from the underground to capture people's imaginations and hearts. Over the past few years we've seen acclaimed albums from the Junior Boys, Dizzee Rascal, and MySpace pinups the Arctic Monkeys ride a wave of user-generated success. Now add to that list Burial's debut on Hyperdub.
Dubstep artist albums are a rare breed-- you can count them on one hand (efforts from Horsepower, Zed Bias...and Vex'd?), and now Burial's eponymous debut, which stands up to all of them but merks them in terms of mystery and intrigue.
On initial and repeated listens, Burial is deeply melancholic and moving-- truly modern urban blues. The track names alone see a longplayer seeped in the experience of London living ("Night Bus", "Distant Lights", and "Pirates") and the life and struggles of its secretive and elusive producer ("You Hurt Me", "Forgive", and "Broken Home").
A great deal of attention, post his first interview and Breezeblock session (downloadable from Barefiles here), surrounds Burial's refusal to reveal his identity.
The London dubstep community is tightly knit. The sound has survived from complete indifference to fierce adversity through the strength gained from unity and collectivism-- but as a consequence the likelihood of a fully fledged artist emerging unknown is unusual and exciting. But as Burial explains, he merely shares an environment with the rest of the scene-- he's an internal-outsider, distant and marginalized both within his own sound and city.
Focusing on Burial's refusal to clarify his identity is a misconception. Even if we know his full name, do we ever really know an artist's true identity? And why shouldn't an artist be allowed to present certain facets of him or herself and restrict others without being accused of creative deception? On the whole it's preferable that more artists do, given the inevitable mundanity of parts of even the most colorful icons' lives. Even the most "real" gangsta grime MCs must have dinner with their gran or go food shopping sometimes. Burial himself has expressed his crushing disappointment at first seeing pioneering junglist Photek-- at his peak capable of evoking vivid samurai soundscapes, twitchy "big brother" CCTV paranoia, and UFO invasion dread-- unveiled as Ipswich-based local lad Rupert Parkes at home in his grey studio.
There's been a great deal said online about Burial, in particular on a Dissensus thread and on K-Punk's blog. One observation is that Burial fits the recent pan-genre trend of hauntology. The album is built from swung beats inspired by early dubstepper Ghost, is clearly in awe of past glories of the UK 'ardcore continuum; the "ghosts of dead UK dance music" are pulling some moves. The sadness permeating this album is inspired not only by the most moving of early jungle records (Omni Trio, Foul Play, etc.) but what subsequently happened to those hardcore heroes as their bright stars faded.
The album's emotional climax is "Gutted", which begins with a paean to the achievements of fallen 'nuum soldiers, most notably the now absent but massively influential El-B. His peerless trademark 2step beat programming inspires the backbone of the album but, just like Benga and Skream circa 2002, Burial has found his detailed signature rhythmic style in inaccurate Ghost parody.
This style is all more remarkable given the knowledge the album is made on the most basic equipment possible-- a simple audio editor. The beats are neither at any fixed tempo nor sequenced into any rigid pattern-- an anomaly in the face of the past 30 years of dance music.
But the more profound consequence of his studio technique is its message to other more technologically advanced producers. There is a perception amongst producers that better kit creates better music. At the heart of this urban blues album there's a very punk message: You can make music too, no matter what instrument you can or indeed can't play. It's ideas and emotion not technology and studio engineering that move people.
Dubplate-led dubstep is a relentlessly forward moving scene; little time is spent looking backward. Rhythmically, the sound has come a long way since its birth in 2000, from 2step swing to halfstep skank. In 2006, with Burial's Ghost-ly beats, the forthcoming retrospective Roots of Dubstep compilation (Tempa), Mala DMZ's energetic percussive experiments and the halfstep pendulum having swung so far out, there is a sense that perhaps now is a time to revisit 2step's swing? Burial for one, would probably agree.
One of grime's longing running unresolved sagas finally ended last week. Two years after he began promising it, Wiley's second album Da 2nd Phaze is finally out...sort of.
When Wiley's Treddin' on Thin Ice dropped in 2004, grime was in its ascendancy, riding a wave of exceptional innovation and critical hype. So when Treddin' got distributed globally and sold 20,000 copies it was considered a relative failure-- especially given Dizzee's two LPs sold 200,000 units.
2005: Wiley re-ignites grimes "war," declaring he'll publicly slew all waste MCs on pirate and continue to make so much noise he gets signed. Meetings with Damon Dash come and go. The artistically compromised Roll Deep album sells tens of thousands of copies but Relentless still drop them. Wiley and the Entourage leave the year unsigned.
2006: Grime continues to produce cutting edge music, but the jaw-drop factor is absent from most releases. The critical hype has subsided and the record industry have mostly turned its back on grime artists, citing commercial failure. Only by hanging around with few indie also-rans can grime acts get covered by the NME.
Into this climate dribbles Da 2nd Phaze. Far from the global impact grime MCs aspires to, fans are left asking, "Is it even out?" The answer is yes, since UKrecordshop.com bought the entire pressing...of 1,000 copies.
In the face of major-label indifference, the future for grime is independent collectivism, and yet again Wiley leads where others follow. It probably won't turn up in HMV New York, but at least 100% of the profit will return to Wiley to re-invest in pressing more copies. At least he can put out representative grime productions, rather than commercial radio bait like "Heartache Avenue". At least it even exists-- there have been five albums from Roll Deep affiliates to date, but not one from N.A.S.T.Y. Crew, Ruff Sqwad, or SLK.
Like Treddin', 2nd Phaze doesn't sound as fierce, raw, and compelling as the Roll Deep Rinse radio show, but how could any studio album? There's a few too many '80s AOR-influenced riddims like "Be Yourself"-- and can someone please tell Brazen a given bar should in someway vaguely relate to the previous one? But otherwise 2nd Phaze is as strong as Treddin'. "Gangsterz" and "U Ain't Real" are fire. "Friday Night" is a joy. "Saw It Coming" was on Run the Road 2, but remains strong. Oddly the second half of the short intro is perhaps the album's best production.
The album's ending is typical quirky Wiley. First there's a fierce God's Gift freestyle over something that sounds like hypersoca. Then Target/Danny Weed-produced Alex Mills drop a lush synthy ballad that is perhaps the CD's highlight. Wiley adds "So Amazing"-- surely a main album track? And in a fit of brazen cheek he includes the five-year-old breakthrough anthem of his fiercest rival, "Oi!" by More Fire Crew. He didn't produce it, feature on it, or write it, but it's there-- no doubt to wind up Lethal B. Again.
The album's small print is equally engaging. News is broken of a series of new longplayers, none of which one hopes will take two years to emerge. Roll Deep's Creeper Vol 1 is getting a remix/reissue, JME's Poompex Edition 2 bodes well, Skepta's debut LP Greatest Hits should be fire, too. Then there's the undefined new projects Crossfire Vol 1, Tunnel Vision Vol 1, and Flame Grilled Whopper Vol 1.
Best detail of all though is the copyright text. "UNAUTHORIZED COPYING, HIRING, LENDING, PUBLIC PERFORMANCES AND BROADCASTING OF THIS RECORD IS A VIOLATION OF THE LAWS OF UR GIRLS BEDROOM RUDEBOY SO SECKLE UR LOWER JAWBONE, BEFORE OPERATION EJECT MOLAR IS PUT INTO EFFECT." You have been warned.
If you're reading this all over the world-- and especially if you're a promoter in Tokyo and want a dubstep set email Martin Clark on firstname.lastname@example.com.
His new single Lata / The Danger Line / Crackle Blues / Crackle Blues (Burial remix) is out in May on Keysound.

The team gathered biopsy data from all 28 pathology departments in Sweden. They then used the data to identify individuals who were diagnosed with celiac disease between 1969 and 2007. The included only individuals who showed Marsh 3 villous atrophy. Their group included a total of 29,026 individuals. They then selected a group of sex- and age-matched control subjects were selected from the Total Population Register. They used Cox regression Cox to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) for TB from data in the Swedish national health registers.
They found that people with celiac disease faced a slightly increased TB risk (HR=2.0; 95% CI=1.3-3.0). For people with celiac disease, the absolute risk of contracting TB was 10/100,000 person-years, with an excess risk of 5/100,000. Risk estimates were the highest in the first year.
When the team restricted its focus to TB confirmed by (I) a record of TB medication (HR=2.9; 95% CI=1.0-8.3), (II) data in the National Surveillance System for Infectious Diseases in Sweden (HR=2.6; 95% CI=1.3-5.2) or (III) positive TB cultivation (HR=3.3; 95% CI=1.6-6.8) they saw increased risk levels.
The team also noted the positive association between celiac disease and TB prior to celiac disease diagnosis (odds ratio=1.6; 95% CI=1.2-2.1).
In the end, the team was able to confirm a slightly higher TB risk for people with celiac disease.

This is interesting because my sister has celiac and I have hemochromatosis. I have the 2 genes but she has the 1 gene. Apparently Cys282 is supposed to help protect against TB. I also have gluten intolerance and feel way better having chosen not to eat gluten.

1915-S Pan-Pac Quarter Eagle, MS671915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS67 PCGS. Many collectors fail to realize it, but the 1915-S Panama-Pacific quarter eagle design encapsulates the work and careers of two U.S. Mint designers, Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber (the obverse) and Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan (the reverse). Morgan was far more talented, being employed by the U.S. Mint in 1876 at the age of 31 from his native Birmingham, England. It was presumed that William Barber (1807-1879), father of Charles and chief engraver at the time Morgan was hired, would soon retire, but the elder Barber served until his death. His son Charles (1840-1917) would be appointed Chief Engraver upon his father's death, even though he was apparently disliked by Mint officials. George T. Morgan would have to wait until 1917 to finally become chief engraver himself upon Charles Barber's death, when Morgan was 72 years old.
Spectacular Surfaces, Tied for Finest at PCGS

The Pan-Pac quarter eagle design is also unusual in that it is better-than-usual work for Charles Barber, and rather pedestrian for Morgan. Even Gem Pan-Pac quarter eagles are in hot demand, but this Superb Gem is one of only 24 at PCGS, with none finer (10/12). The surface preservation is spectacular on this coin, free of even the tiny ticks that usually appear on lower-grade examples, and the strike is full throughout, also seldom seen on this issue. The attractive orange-red color is an added plus.(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 26HK, PCGS# 7450)

by workshop participants, for example, how to develop survivorship care planning as a standard of care, how to support the generation of empirical evidence to discover how best to implement survivorship care planning, and how to pay for this service to ensure its availability. While some of these challenges seem daunting, she was encouraged by the success of the pediatric oncology community in collaboratively developing survivorship guidelines and innovative tools to implement survivorship care planning.
She concluded that the workshop had galvanized support for survivorship care planning and was reassured that the many adult cancer survivors in need of this service will have it available to them. Ms. Stovall stated that the patient advocacy community will be taking the important themes emerging from the workshop and entering into productive collaborations with physicians, nurses, social workers, insurers, and other stakeholders to ensure progress in implementation efforts.

Looking for someone to start new adventures to a new year
Hello there I am Monica and I am a very spontaneous woman, let me rein sure you that just because I am short (which I embrace and love) doesn't stop be from trying t new things. I am currently a Preschool/ Kindergarten teacher assistant along with a student. I am a very determined, goal oriented person that strives to reach whatever I set my mind on. I am working on getting finishing my my AA in science then transferring to an undergrad pre-med program to get my Masters in Medical Speech Pathology. I know this is a very ambitious goal but I know through dedication and support from family and friends i know that I can make it through. I love working and helping people. I love being active and fit and trying new activities. I am training for the Capital City Marathon this May to mark off on my bucket list.. I believe that a beautiful person comes from the inside that is brought out. That being said, I am looking for someone who is confident in who they are and are passionate with their endeavors. This year I hope to enter in woman Fitness Bikini competition, in which I have been working hard at. I am looking for someone who enjoys being outdoors, fitness, sports, and that knows family is important for support in life. All in all I know that there is someone out there for everyone. Thank you
