Clarkson backs Tivvy players to overcome fatigue
Posted: April 16, 2014|
John Clarkson believes his Tiverton Town players have the physical and mental stamina to cope with the play-offs following a gruelling run of fixtures.
The Yellows go to Stratford Town tonight (Thursday), before hosting Guildford City on Saturday and then travelling to Wimborne Town on Monday.
It means they will have played five games in 10 days.
A hard-fought 2-1 home win over Cinderford Town, on Tuesday, left Tivvy in a strong position for the play-offs, which commence on the week beginning Monday, April 28.
And Clarkson feels they can make a real fist of the play-offs provided they make it through their next three games unscathed.
"We are trying to get up there to the top spot in the league, but you just can't do it with the amount of games we're trying to fit in – our success is killing us," he said.
"The trouble with playing this amount of games is not just physical, but mental as well.
"These lads are working and then travelling a long way.
"It is asking a lot but, if we can get through these games, we should be okay for the play-offs.
"Touch wood, we can keep them all fit and we can have a real go. If we can get this week out of the way and finished then we will have from Tuesday until Saturday for a rest.
"Fair play to them, they ground out the win on Tuesday and are getting the points – you can't ask for more."
Fatigue already looks to be taking its toll, with Sam Malsom and Shane Krac likely to miss the Stratford game through injury. However, Matt Villis should return from the groin injury which ruled him out of Tuesday's win, with Ed Palmer expected to make way.
"Sam got a hip flexor injury which he has tweaked or done something a little more serious to. He is probably looking at a week out I would think," continued Clarkson.
"Shane Krac is not that far away. Hopefully he will get some minutes on Saturday and I would definitely hope he will play on Monday.
"Matty phoned me on Tuesday to tell me he had tweaked his groin a little bit. I am rotating the centre-backs at the moment and he would have played on Tuesday and Ed Palmer would have sat out, so maybe against Stratford Matty will play.
"When you have three good, good centre-backs like that and with the amount of games we have, you have got to chop and change to keep them fresh."
Tivvy were far from their best in Tuesday's win over Cinderford, but they demonstrated their resilience once again with three hard-earned points.
The first half was arguably their worst 45-minute performance of the season, with George Lloyd's close-range finish giving the visitors a 1-0 lead after James Richards surrendered possession on halfway.
Lloyd could have put The Foresters ahead even earlier, only for Mike Searle to save well with his legs from four yards out.
Despite plenty of huff and puff, Tivvy looked disjointed and bereft of ideas, with the visitors barely having to break a sweat to keep them at arm's length.
But the introduction of Dan Smith and Matt Wright at half-time saw a marked improvement, and the former levelled via the penalty spot on 50 minutes following a handball.
The hard-working Ryan Richards made way for Michael Nardiello with 20 minutes left, and he converted Josh Searle's backpost cross on 80 minutes.
That made it two in three games for Nardiello to go with the double he netted in Saturday's 4-0 win at Clevedon Town. Marcus Martin and Josh Searle netted the others.
"I'm glad that one is over because that was a hard, hard game," said Clarkson, whose side cut the gap on Merthyr Town and Cirencester Town to six points with a game in hand.
"The first half was abysmal. I don't think we strung two passes together.
"We were so far off it that 1-0 flattered us – we probably should have been 2-0 down. We were at them for most of the second half though.
"Their manager was at Bishops Cleeve before and they play exactly the same way.
"It was one of those where we have ground out the result again, which we have done a few times recently."

Myles H. Thaler Center Supports South African Student's Important HIV Work
Lufuno Mavhandu, who grew up in the small village of Muduluni, is conducting research at UVA as part of an important collaboration between the Myles H. Thaler Center for AIDS and Human Retrovirus Research in the School of Medicine and the Department of Microbiology at South Africa's University of Venda. Her work with her UVA mentors – HIV experts Marie-Louise Hammarskjold, MD, PhD, and David Rekosh, PhD – will allow the 31-year-old to obtain her doctorate from the University of Venda, commonly called Univen, in the spring. [ more]
Thaler Center Collaboration with UNIVEN, South Africa Continues in 2012
Hammarkskjold and Rekosh: "Catalysts for Change"
Marie-Louise Hammarskjold, MD, PhD and David Rekosh, PhD, are molecular geneticists. For the last 20 years, the couple has worked steadily and quietly to unravel the genetic mysteries of HIV as co-direcotrs of the Myles Thaler Center for AIDS and Human Retrovirus Research at the University of Virginia. [...] -
More recently, as drug development, treatment and education have helped stabilize the AIDS crisis in the U.S., Hammarskjold and Rekosh have turned some of their attention to the epidemic that is still devastating other parts of the world. More specifically, they've turned their attention to Africa.

Two Week Intensive Course and Lab Practicum at the University of Venda, South Africa by the Myles H. Thaler AIDS Center and the MIC Department
Lou Hammarskjold, MD, PhD and David Rekosh, PhD received funding for three years from the South African Department of Science and Technology to advance Microbiology and Molecular Biology at the University of Venda (UNIVEN) in northern South Africa.
In spring 2010, five members (Lou Hammarskjold, David Rekosh, AJ Roberts, Lisa Nichols and Emily Sloan) of the Myles H. Thaler Center for AIDS and Human Retrovirus Research and the MIC Department joined faculty and students at the University of Venda (UNIVEN) in Limpopo Province, South Africa, for a two-week intensive course and lab practicum emphasizing the molecular biological roles of RNA.
Professors Hammarskjold and Rekosh lectured each morning to 30 students who are pursuing undergraduate honors degrees or graduate degrees in microbiology, biochemistry or zoology. Small group discussions, facilitated by UVA and UNIVEN team members, followed each morning's lecture and helped clarify critical concepts. For nearly half the students, the afternoons were filled with an intensive lab practicum that emphasized PCR, cloning, transformations and colony selection, sequence analysis and bioinformatics, cell culture and transfections, fluorescent microscopy, and bioluminescent assays.
The course, lab practicum, and other team activities were a critical part of capacity building at UNIVEN for Professors Pascal Bessong and Samie Amidou, UNIVEN researchers, who have ongoing collaborations with UVA faculty in Microbiology and the Center for Global Health. Professors Hammarskjold and Rekosh returned in the spring of 2011 to lecture in a microbiology course that is directed by Professor Amidou .

Alex Chinneck is back with a thatched sculpture that moves as the wind blows
Remember the guy who painstakingly brought us 312 identically smashed windows, 1248 pieces of glass in an abandoned warehouse? Well, he's back, this time with a curiously fantastical new sculpture inspired by the thatched roofs of yore.
This 17ft tall, sculpture that rings of witch-hunts, town criers and Constable's The Hay Wain is a whopping 1.5 tonnes, and is designed to move around as the wind blows. I don't know if it's because it's exhibited in a lovely garden of a stately home (we all love a bit of National Trust) or whether it's because it reminds me of something from a fairy tale, but there is something truly, magnificently beautiful about this piece. Well done Alex!

August 2, 2015
A former NFL player, living in Lauderdale County, has been arrested in a kidnapping and sexual battery case.
Marion police charged 36-year-old Matthew Dorsett over an alleged incident a couple of weeks ago. He turned himself in to authorities Monday.
Dorsett, who played defensive back for the Green Bay Packers in the mid-1990s, has been living in east Mississippi for several years. He's a native of New Orleans.
Marion Police Chief Ben Langston said he can't release some details, because of the nature of the charges. He said the incident happened Oct. 2 around 10:45 p.m. at a private residence in Marion, Miss.
Although Dorsett often works with children, and last school year worked for the Lauderdale County School District, Langston said the case does not involve an underage person.
'I do not know the details of where he has worked in the past or dealing with children or anything like that," said Langston. "We have not gotten into that yet at this time. We will be checking further into his background and contacting various people as we see need."
Bond for Dorsett was set at $10,000 on each charge. He has since bonded out of jail.
Langston said he is working to have this case ready to be presented to a grand jury in November.

The in-game calendar – Why it's tough
Many people have seen the new campaign calendar and extended it to the next logical step: Why not create a calendar for your in-game time? On the surface, it seems like a good idea, and it's definitely something I have struggled with in the past. Unfortunately, it's a very tough problem, and the final result would probably not be what you imagine.
My Life as Tech Support
Every now and then I like to pull back the curtain a little and give a glimpse into what it's like to run Obsidian Portal. It's pretty much an endless stream of putting out fires and fixing bugs. I really love to do it, but I like to pour cold water on anyone who thinks it's all fun and glory. For example, today I had two support emails that caused me quite a bit of grief. Enjoy…
Ascension without consent
I never gave my permission to "ascend" or be charged anything, you don't even have my information. so, yeah, please take off this "ascended" title, because, I'm not going to be charged. so, again, nobody has my consent in anyway for any reason for anything ever. the end.
As it happens, the issue here was that the person in question signed up with a promo code when creating their account. The promo code gave 1 month of free Ascendant time to new signups.
I understand that we could be a little clearer about "complimentary" vs "paid" Ascendant accounts, but frankly I'd rather work on cool features. Some other people have inquired about their strange Ascendant status, and I was happy to answer. In this case, I did exactly as was requested and deleted the complimentary subscription. Be careful what you wish for, I might just give it to you.
My wiki is gone, I hate you
Pages on my XXXX page were deleted. I want them back, along with my money.
These emails always fill me with dread. Did I accidentally delete someone's work? How long has this been going on? Is this just the first of a flood of hate heading my way?
Luckily, I've been hit with a lot of these by now, so I know not to panic. In almost all cases, it's a misunderstanding. In this particular case, it is a legitimate bug…but not one where data was lost. Instead, there is a case-sensitivity bug for some of the wiki links. In other words, Places isn't the same as places. The pages are all still there, but some links in the wiki are broken. Definitely something I need to fix.
Unfortunately, it took several back-and-forth emails to discover the actual problem. The original email didn't have any real information, only anger. I know it's frustrating when things aren't working right, but a "You screwed me" email is pretty worthless in terms of diagnosing the problem and finding a fix.
The moral?
There are essentially two morals to this story, one for me and one for you:
For me: Can't please 'em all
I am the first to admit that Obsidian Portal has bugs and problems…a LOT! But, wonder of wonders, it limps along enough to provide thousands of gamers with the tools they need to manage their games. That provides me a lot of comfort when I deal with irate users. I have to remind myself that even as I'm working to fix one person's problem, hundreds of people are managing their games and having a great time doing it.
For you (and me too): Take a breath before sending
When I get a support email, my initial gut reaction goes one of 2 ways: I want to help this person, or I want to hurt this person. If the email is asking for help, I want to help them. If they are lashing out at me or the site, I want to hurt them. I can usually swallow my pride and do the right thing, but it's always tempting to just reflect back the anger and hate coming my way.
The point is to realize that most websites (and small businesses) out there are like this. When you send an email, it doesn't go to a customer service person. It goes to the head-honcho, the person who pours their heart and soul into the site. If you have a problem, ask for help, and you'll probably get it. Accusations and rage will send your email straight to the trash bin, or worse, the site owner might flip out and declare war on you. I'll admit, I've come very close to doing this in the past.
Blow your top, or solve your problem?
Before sending a support email (to anyone, not just me), ask yourself: "What's my goal here?" Do you want to get your problem solved? Or, do you want to unleash your anger and surrender to the Dark Side? If it's the former, then do your best to describe the exact problem, what you did when the problem manifested, and have a little patience. If it's the latter, tap into your deepest hatred and let me know how you really feel. Just don't be surprised when I don't respond and you suddenly find your account disabled.

Squidgirl, written by Shakespeare for performance as a grammar school play when he was still a boy, has long been thought lost to the modern world. However, after long searching, I have come into ownership of a partial manuscript of the play. Judging from the following excerpts it would seem that the Bard based one of his later plays on this, his first great tale.
Excerpts from the final scene of "SQUIDGIRL," one of Shakespeare's lost plays:
From ACT 1, SCENE 2:
I shall remember:
When Squidgirl says "Do this," it is perform'd.

Power To The (Married) Peoplehttp://blog.obsidianportal.com/power-to-the-married-people/
Two weeks ago I got married to the geeky girl of my dreams. Josh Buergel friend, game designer, and all around great guy officiated our small ceremony at a local coffee shop. I got a real kick out of what he had to say, and I hope you will too.
I'm not planning on doing a long speech, but I do think that a momentous occasion like this richly deserves some of my unique strain of blather and I'm afraid the cost of my participation here is that you have to sit through it. I feel like a recitation about the benefits and difficulties of marriage is at least somewhat inappropriate, but at the same time, it's worth reflecting on what brings you both here, in front of friends and perhaps more importantly baristas. A marriage really is a different phase of your relationship and no matter how casual the ceremony, the commitment is never a casual one. A marriage is about mutual respect, first and foremost. Without that, eventually the cracks will come. If you maintain that respect, you can solve everything else. You'll both make mistakes and triumphs, you'll both have bad days and great days, you'll have days when you wondered what the hell you were thinking. But none of that matters if you keep your respect for each other and yourselves. All of the great things of a marriage flow from that respect when combined with your love.
But enough of that! Congratulations on levelling up your relationship! Among the benefits you have gained this level are the following powers:
Player can't make it – Cancel or Frantic Reschedule?
This happens to me over and over: At the last minute, a player (or the GM, myself even) announces they can't make the scheduled time for the game. However, they're free on X or Y night that week, so can we reschedule? Frantic emailing and forum posting occurs, lots of negotiating, and we usually end up getting nowhere, just messing up everyone's plans for the rest of the week. Maybe 1/5 of these frantic exchanges results in a successful reschedule. We're all just too busy to juggle everything like that.
To combat the craziness, I've tried instituting a No Rescheduling policy, but then I love playing so much that I break my own rule, hoping against hope that everyone will change to accomodate me. This usually has the exact same scramble-to-no-avail outcome.
Is ours the only group where this happens? How do you handle it? Is there any solution? Is there anything we could add to Obsidian Portal that would help facilitate (and make less crazy) these discussions? As always, I'm not promising anything, but I have a little extra time to think tonight, as our game has been canceled at the last minute.
The Question!
Many people seem to be missing the question I'm asking here. Maybe I'm not clear. I'm not asking how many you need to play the game, or what your policy is on attendance. Here's what I'm driving at:
If a player can't make it, but suggests a reschedule to another night of the week, what do you do?
In my case, it always becomes a mess and usually results in nothing getting accomplished. Do you have a better way? I'd love to hear it!
Update: Cool Tool
A Twitterer recommended that I check out WhenIsGood, and it looks very close to what I need. Maybe we can steal this idea for Obsidian Portal at some point.

Low Life Pecan Pie Stats
Name:Priester's Pecan Power-Pusher
Race: Cremefillian
Rank: Seasoned
Description: A cremefillian punk, this HUGE round pecan pie has a lightly toasted crust and is filled with large meaty pecans. Priester's Pecan Power-Pusher also has the special ability to use the natural nutty syrupy goodness of its filling as ammunition.
Agility: d8 Fighting: d10
Smarts: d4 Guts: d6
Spirit: d6 Intimidation: d8
Strength: d10 Notice: d6
Vigor: d8 Shooting: d8
Survival: d4
Taunt: d6
Pace: 6" Throwing: d4
Parry: 6 +1 (armor)
Toughness: 6
Charisma: 0
Foul Taste: The toxins and pollutants absorbed by the spongy flesh of cremefillians makes them particularly unpalatable. A creature that bites a cremefillian must make a Vigor roll to avoid being Shaken. A penalty equal to the number of wounds inflicted by the bite is applied to this roll.
Tweenking: For some reason, perhaps due to their strange body structure, cremefillians are able to carry a great deal more gear and supplies than their strength would suggest. They can carry an additional three times their strength in yorts without penalty. Additionally tweenks ignore minimum strength requirements for all hand weapons.
Spongy Flesh: Cremefillians have 1 point of natural armor due to their spongy or dense, crusty flesh. This feature also makes them immune to all natural poisons, toxins, and radioactive emissions.
Really Big Guy: Due to your large size, you begin play with a d6 Strength instead of a d4. On the downside, creatures smaller than you gain +2 to attack rolls against you. You are considered to be Large.
Pimp Slap: You are a bully who likes to pick on people smaller than you. You gain a +2 bonus to fighting Medium creatures (this effectively negates the -2 penalty for attacking them). You also get +1 attack bonus when fighting females, even if you are a female. I'm telling your mother.
Illiterate: You cannot read or write.
Innumerate: You have absolutely no concept of numbers. You can't count or do math of any kind. Your brain just isn't wired that way. Sorry…
Randy: Your character is randy. That is to say, his belt is buckled a little looser than the rest. Whatever the case, you have a hard time keeping yourself from making inapropriate or even vulgar comments about women whenever the opportunity presents itself (e.g. a woman with the (Very) Attractive Edge is sitting across the bar, or a scantily dressed prostitute is asking him if you want a good time). It is almost impossible for you not to make annoying comments and vulgar gestures.
Caterpillar poo rope: Can be used for climbing, tying things together, lassoing your enemies, hanging bad guys, tripping people, and a whole host of other fun and exciting activities.
Poo Flinger: (Strength +1), 1d8 (non-lethal), multiple uses (melee & missile), Range 6/12/24. Basically just a big ass wooden spoon, this thing can hurl poo and other foulness (the stench and ickyness incapacitates targets) (or in your case nutty syrupy filling (1d8+1) for the same incapacitating effect) and can double as a weak club.

Poet Galway Kinnell remarked that Ms. Adair "has arrived in our world like a comet." Indeed, although she has been writing poetry for years, she was reluctant to publish her prodigious works. However, literary critic Alice Quinn believes that "by not publishing she was free to write about everything in her own time and in a totally honest way."
As a young college student at Mount Holyoke, Adair twice received the Galscock Prize which is awarded to the most promising poet in the Ivy League. While a graduate student at Harvard she was published in the New Republic, The Atlantic Monthly, and The Saturday Review of Literature.
During World War II she and her husband, an historian, lived an academic and domestic life, and eventually transplanted to California when her husband received a position at The Claremont Graduate School.
Adair taught for many years at California State Polytechnic in Pomona. After her husband's death in 1968, she continued to live and write poetry in Claremont and also helped to found Mount Baldy's Zen center.
Adair, who is blind, will attend the reading, but her champion, friend, and fellow poet Robert Mezey will read her poems as well as his own.
Pomona College's poet-in-residence, Mezey is a familiar artist to readers of The New Republic, The New York Review of Books, Kenyon Review, The New Yorker, American Poetry Review, and Harper's.
His poems have been printed in several anthologies and translations of his work have been published in Italy, Israel, India, Spain, and the former Yugoslavia.
His books include The Lovemaker (1960), which won the Lamont Award, A Book of Dying (1970), Small Song (1979), and Selected Translations 1960-1980. Most recently, his volume Evening Wind (1987) received a P.E.N. prize and the Bassine Citation. He was awarded the Robert Frost Prize and has won fellowships from the Ingram Merril and Guggenheim Foundations and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Robert Mezey is also a renowned translator of the poetry of the great Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. Mezey will read tonight from Borges's brilliant and powerful verse.

I had my full facial resurfaced on 8/23/11 and it's the 26th today and I am thrilled with my results. The normal price is $1500 but my doctor discounted 50% because I have had several other procedures done over the past year and have referred quite a few friends to him. I had mild ance... READ MORE

50 Years Ago: The Beatles Boast Nos. 1-5 On Billboard Hot 100
Apr 04, 2014 00:00 via Billboard
For more online go to Billboard.com
"Just about everyone is tired of the Beatles."So read the first line of a story on page 1 of the Billboard magazine dated April 4, 1964, exactly 50 years ago today. That was the week that the Beatles made history as the only act ever to simultaneously occupy the Billboard Hot 100 chart's entire top five positions.So … why was Billboard printing such seeming blasphemy?
PHOTOS: The Beatles TimelineHow The Beatles Went Viral in 1964The Beatles' American Chart Invasion: 12 Record Chart Feats
"Disk jockeys are tired of playing the hit group," the story continued. (Cleverly headlined "Chart Crawls With Beatles," the item was written by Jack Maher and Tom Noonan, the latter of whom launched the Hot 100 in 1958.) "The writers of trade and consumer publication articles are tired of writing about them and the manufacturers of product other than the Beatles are tired of hearing about them."Billboard, of course, noted one key exception."Everyone's tired of the Beatles – except the listening and buying public."With a 27-1 second-week blast to the top for "Can't Buy Me Love," the Fab Four locked up the Hot 100's entire top five: No. 1, "Can't Buy Me Love" / No. 2, "Twist and Shout" / No. 3, "She Loves You" / No. 4, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" / No. 5, "Please Please Me"The closest any artist has come to the Beatles' airtight top five mark is 50 Cent, who placed three titles simultaneously – "Candy Shop" (No. 1); the Game's "How We Go," on which he's featured (No. 4); and "Disco Inferno" (No. 5) – in the top five on the charts dated March 12 and 19, 2005.FAB AT 50: THE BEATLES ON THE COVER OF THE JAN. 11, 2014 BILLBOARDGET THIS ISSUE – SUBSCRIBE TO BILLBOARD HERE – IPAD EDITIONBeginning a five-week reign, "Buy" marked the Beatles' third No. 1, directly following "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and second leader "She Loves You." No other act has linked three consecutive No. 1s in the Hot 100's 55-year history.The 26-position jump to the summit for "Buy" additionally stood as a record for the greatest jump to No. 1 for nearly 38 years, until Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This" rocketed 52-1 in 2002. (Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" currently holds the mark, courtesy of a 97-1 vault in February 2009).With 20 career leaders, the Beatles lead all acts for the most No. 1s in the Hot 100's archives.Slightly more than two months prior to their top five stranglehold, the Fab Four had made their landmark debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show," kicking off American Beatlemania. Billboard recapped the shift in music and pop culture forever more that the group's stateside invasion spurred in the magazine's Jan. 11 cover story.Meanwhile, chart trivia fans, take note: What was the highest-ranking non-Beatles single the week of April 4, 1964? Terry Stafford's "Suspicion," which rose 7-6. The single, released on the Crusader label, would peak at No. 3 the following week. Later audiences would come to know Stafford's work thanks to another Billboard record-holder, George Strait, who boasts the most No. 1s (44) in the Hot Country Songs chart's history. Strait's cover of Stafford's "Amarillo By Morning" (co-written with Paul Fraser) hit No. 4 Hot Country Songs in 1982 and remains one of the King of Country's signature songs.

We are now into the BORING time of year for Michigan football, and for sports in general. So, no better time than now for us to dish out the latest Michigan football rumors that have come across the Chat Sports rumor desk this week. Now, we have not confirmed all of these to be 100% truth, hence why they are called rumors, but we do confirm with 2 sources 'in the know' before we publish them. Our presence is strong in Ann Arbor and plan to make this a weekly feature for Michigan fans.
Enjoy, you gossipers of the interwebs.
- Rumor: Denard Robinson is picking up Al Borges offense very quickly in the off-season and is pulling away from Devin Gardner. Robinson was given a very detailed training regimen and set of plays to work on with his receivers. Shoelace has been the ultimate gym rat since spring ball and is set to explode this season in the passing game, our insiders say.
- Rumor: Coaches are not impressed with any of the current running backs on the roster and have every intention of giving incoming freshman Thomas Rawls a shot at being the opening game starter.
- Rumor: Recruiting is exploding! Michigan is feeling very confident about their recruitment of one time Ohio State commitments 4* RB Bri'onte Dunn from Canton, OH and 5* OT Kyle Kalis from Cleveland. Dunn is seen as a very likely candidate to pledge to Michigan this summer, while Kalis may be more of a battle, with Notre Dame and others vying hard for his services. Both players de-committed from OSU this week. Cheaters never prosper.
- Rumor: After his visit to Ann Arbor this week, 2012 Tempe, Ariz., five-star offensive tackle Andrus Peat is quietly listing Michigan as his favorite. He headed to Notre Dame after the Michigan visit and his tweets after both were quiet different. Expect Peat to pledge to Michigan prior to the beginning of his senior season. Follow Peat on Twitter here: @AndrusPeat
- Rumor: Michigan's offensive line is buying into the new teachings of Coach Darrell Funk and veteran U-M football insiders think that this group can grow into a dominate O-line of the past. One insider we spoke with said that this line potentially has 3 1st rounders in the current 2-deep of the O-line.
- Rumor: U-M AD Dave Brandon is finalizing plans for 'something huge' for the ND game under the lights. Our source couldn't speculate, but said it would be something that has never been done in NCAA football. Possibilities?: No one is saying enough to speculate further, but knowing Brandon, this is very exciting.
- Rumor: Lloyd Carr worked behind the scenes to block Jim Harbaugh from getting the Michigan coaching job, going as far as telling people in Harbaugh's camp that he would publicly denounce the hire if Harbaugh didn't apologize endlessly for his anti-Michigan comments a few years back.
- Confirmed Rumor: Straight from the most impeccable source out there. Michigan offered the coaching job to 2 people prior to bringing on Brady Hoke: Jim Harbaugh and John Harbaugh, in that order. Both brothers were offered more per year than they will make at their NFL gigs this year but couldn't pass up the chance to compete against each other at the highest level. John Harbaugh has not ruled out the possibility of becoming the head man down the road if his good pal Brady Hoke gets the job done and leaves a stock cupboard in AA. ***Both Harbaugh brothers are huge fans of Brady Hoke and think he will be hugely successful.***
- Rumor: From the 'who cares' department . . . former coach Rich Rodriguez has told quite a few sources, namely Mike Barwis, to be prepared to move to Clemson to become a part of his coaching staff after this season. Many Clemson boosters love RichRod from his time as OC there under Tommy Bowden and are chomping at the bit to get him back as the head man. With the lack of size of players in the ACC, I think Rich can be very successful at Clemson and lead them to a BCS Bowl.
Chat Wolverines will continue to let you in on the latest Michigan football rumors this summer and throughout the season. Know this.

SAN ANTONIO – The Spurs' Larry O' Brien trophy has jetsetted across the world this summer, traveling more than 47,270 miles since its takeoff from San Antonio.
But just like any traveler knows, sometimes you just need a vacation from your vacation.
The trophy got just that when it was Kawhi Leonard's turn to take the trophy to San Diego for three days.
Leonard told the San Diego Union-Times that the trophy stayed in his condominium the first two days, Aug. 7-8.
"I didn't have any time to do anything with it," Leonard told the newspaper. "My workout schedule is crazy."
So, even the 2-foot beauty wasn't enough to break his commitment to starting the season off strong, which starts in October.
"I'm just a low-key guy," he told the newspaper. "I'm just happy we won it. I don't even care about the trophy. The title matters the most."
That is OK, though, the trophy's chaperone, Spurs communications coordinator Mitch Heckart, was able to relax too... at his hotel's pool.
The trophy did get back to work on the third day, Aug. 9, when Leonard took it to his youth skills camp in his hometown of Moreno Valley. There, fans were able to take photos with the trophy, which is documented on the Spurs' website.
Now, the trophy is with Boris Diaw's home country of France. The trophy arrived in the coastal town of Antibes on Monday and has since been to a France vs. Australia basketball game, a personal photo shoot and an English pub, the website states.

Your network is congested or, possibly, a server somewhere between you and our server is slowing things down. So essentially, there is a data bottleneck somewhere. As our free stream is already at a pretty low bit rate, if you experience this problem, the only thing you can really do is wait and try later. If you're using Whisperings PureStream and experiencing this problem, we do have a lower bit rate version of the subscription stream you can try that will usually solve this issue.

to I Stop the Clicking Sound?
may hear a clicking sound every time the launched
player refreshes. This is, unfortunately, a side
effect of a Windows Explorer navigation "event."
There is a setting on your computer that you can disable to solve that.
Go into your Windows Control Panel
2. Select
"Sounds and
Audio Devices"
3. Click the Sounds tab
4. Under the Program
Events list, look for Windows Explorer.
5. Highlight the "Start
Navigation" option and then where it says "Sounds"
set it to "None."
Now click on
OK several times to close the control panel. The occasional
clicking sound should now be gone.
I'm Using Windows Media Player and I'm Not Getting Any Sound
You most likely have Windows Media Player muted either directly or indirectly. There's a button on the bottom of Windows Media Player, just to the left of the volume control. You might click that to see if it's muted. The other possibility is if you have it muted in your PC volume control settings. This is actually fairly common. Assuming you're using a PC, go to your Windows control panel, bring up your Sounds and Audio Devices options, and then click on the Advanced button on the Volume tab. Make sure you don't have any of the options muted or turned down here, especially the Wave settings.

But Parram, 16, who is undergoing gender reassignment, was having none of it.
For the teacher's benefit, Parram produced a copy of the UK's Equality Act, which protects transgender people from discrimination.
The UK Home Office's website states that the act sets out nine protected grounds: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. "The act prohibits unfair treatment in the workplace, when providing goods, facilities and services, when exercising public functions, in the disposal and management of premises, in education, and in associations (such as private clubs)," the government website says.
Confronted with the document's provisions, head-teacher Chris Wall relented.
"When I did show him the Equality Act, he did admit that he had to let me do the exam," Parram told ITV News. But she said she was situated away from other students when she eventually did the exam.
"We want people to understand that this is not freaky, this is not actually as unusual as people think it is. And the more people that know that, the more people that understand that, the less children are going to have to suffer what Ashlyn suffered," her mother told ITV.
The UK's Out News says an official discrimination complaint has been lodged over the head-teacher's conduct.

I've been coming here for about two years now on my lunch breaks and I've seen a lot of changes that have been made to the place (all for the better) the decor is more comfortable the wait staff is very friendly and good at seeing to your needs. The food is excellent, all cooked and prepared in house and very fresh it's a little on the pricy side but that's what you get with half pound meat sandwiches on fresh bread (I always take half with me for my husband). It is very busy on weekends but the staff works hard to seat as soon as possible. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious. My server went to long lengths to even go bring me pickles from the pickle bar (free when you eat in) because I have a cast on my leg and walking to the back to grab some would have made it hard. She smiled and didn't seem to mind at all! The older gentleman at the register is very kind and knows his stuff when it comes to running a deli. I will keep coming back to this place and I suggest you do as well!!

Good sandwiches, terrible desserts! Waitress admitted that decaf coffee was stale but refused to brew fresh pot. She said her manager would not let her. Poor excuse for a CC deli. Go elsewhere.

I spent my early years, in the 1950's, at places like Famous and Kelem's in South Philly. Thick sandwiches, real meat and turkey, authentic Jewish rye, etc. I thought those days were gone in the city. Then along comes Schlesinger's, with it's great soups, first rate meats and cheeses, and sandwiches that you really need two hands to eat. Service is efficient and friendly. You can eat a full meal well within your lunch hour or before a show. Best bargain? Try the soup and half sandwich. First of all, the "cup" of soup is like anybody else's bowl; and the half sandwich is stuffed with enough meat to shame another place's full sandwich. If you have questions, the wait staff can tell you anything you need to know about a selection. Pastries, cakes, whatever, it's all a treat.

When this Deli first opened under a different name, I could hardly wait. I wanted to love it, and I was horribly disappointed on every level. What a difference today! It has a real old time deli atmosphere. They say a good man is hard to find, but I think a good deli man is even harder to find. This deli has two great deli managers, Russ and Paul. (Yes, I took the trouble to learn their names because they have made all the difference.) The booths which have been added to the interior along with a courteous and accommodating waitstaff are only the beginning. This is a real delicatessen with really good "deli" type food and lovely cakes, all made on site and attractively displayed. Try it. You'll like it.

Decided to stop in one day and there it was a beautiful dessert case filled with very pretty desserts. So I decided to try the checkerboard cake. While this cake gets an A for creativity it gets an F for taste. I was very disappointed. I have made better cakes then this and I hardly bake. It taste like it was made from a boxed cake mix and a cheap kind at that. There was no taste to it and I couldn't tell the chocolate cake apart from the vanilla. Oh and the frosting was too sweet and flavorless. Just not the worth the $7 that I paid for. Sorry, I will not be getting anything else from here.

Ordered a pastrami sandwich to go. Took a bite, and most of the pastrami came along. It was both fatty and tough, a rare feat. And for $10, I expect more. The chocolate macaroon was dense and also a disappointment. I won't be back.

I have visited this place for several times. I eat there once, but I didn't like the atmosphere. The stuff is not very friendly and the food, although good quality is VERY overpriced. There are few of the servers who at least try to smile and be nice. One is not very polite, although not rude either. I would understand such behavior if the place was extra super busy and they feel pressure. But the place is never crowded. It's just the attitude of the stuff, that makes you to not go there again.

Office Questions
I'm about to buy a loaded 20" Imac for college. I've read all the posts about office but can't find one that truly answers my question. Which of the following is the fastest and or easiest way to run Office?
A. Running bootcamp, installing Windows XP, and then installing Office?
B. Installing my regular Windows Office 04 cd and letting Rosetta handle it?
C. Buying the Office for Mac software which would also be run using Rosetta?
I've got a pc laptop I'll be taking with me but really need the storage space of a desktop. I know I'll be able to accomplish much more on an Apple. Even though Auburn designates itself as an Apple School, everything there is PC so I know I will be needing to use office. Thanks in advance for your help.
Rosetta can't run windows apps.. mac can't run windows apps..
so its either A or C.
and it depends on how convenient you want it.
a would be faster, and c would be easier.
Buy it for mac. If you're getting a "loaded" 20" imac then it will run fine, you wont notice any lag. I have a 20" imac with a 1gb ram and it runs fine.
I'd go with option A, for now (that's what I plan to do when I get a Macbook Pro), seeing as you've already got a version of Office and presumably a copy of XP. I'll wait for Office to be universal before I consider buying the Mac version.
That said, I did get a chance today to try both Word and Excel on, funnily enough, a 20" Intel iMac, and they ran fine. Typing in Word had a delay, initially, but I put in a few sentences and it was smooth enough. Certainly not intolerable like some have been saying.
i'd just buy office for mac. i have it on my imac and it runs fine under rosetta. booting into windows just to use office would get to be a pain. boot camp is nice, but two minutes just to open office is a bit excessive.
Is there any idea when office will become dual binary? Are they just gonna wait for Office 2007?
yes, microsoft says that office won't be universal binary until the next release, which is most likely 2007.
i heard that office runs pretty badly through rosetta. is this true? i heard that powerpoint is super slow, and nothing else runs to full speed either. what's the go? i was just about to buy a macbook, but if i can't even run office on it... unless it involved booting it in windows, or using a slow emulated version... should i just get a powerbook instead and get the mac version?
i haven't used powerpoint yet, but office and excel work fine for me. no, they don't run at full speed and i'm sure you can get it to lag if you try, but it's not as bad as some people would have you think. if you're close to an apple store you can go try office on one of the machines.
I would probably lean towards Office for Mac. Currently, there is a real nasty Word vulnerability that I believe only extends to the M$ based platform. I don't believe it affects the Mac version.
Here is a link on the vulnerability. Since I've made the full switch to OSX & Macs, I just have no desire to mess with M$ - it's a dangerous neighborhood.
I run Mac Office on my new iMac 20 (1gig ram) with no problems in Word or Excel (haven't used Powerpoint) -- and I'm a fast typer. All the Office programs seem to load more slowly (compared to XP), perhaps because of Rosetta, but performance is not an issue.

text: "Whose gonna take back those stories?" The challenge was simple. Who is going to take back the stories that have been entrenched in American culture about Native Americans for so long? Stories of how Native Americans are pagan, how they are less than human, and how Indian customs just do not fit with Christian beliefs. The solution, however, is not simple. The stories are out. They are in people's minds, and it is our job, in this day, to put aside the old ways of thinking, and embrace reconciliation with the first people of America.

An elevator pitch to the unconverted
Seriously, if you're underworked, overpaid, and generally satisfied with the direction your life has taken, then you're doing it wrong.
It's time to wake up, snort the coffee grounds, go back to sleep, get up around 3pm and eat baked cheese snacks for breakfast, achiever.
As a writer, abstract concepts such as work and happiness will no longer be a concern. You'll be able to wallow in the fetid pool of your own neuroses as long as you like, all from the comfort of your own bed.
Burdened under the weight of your ample self-confidence? Not any more, fuck face! With writing, aggravating conditions such as confidence and esteem are a thing of the past.
Fed up with showering twice a day? Or more than once a week? More importantly — are you fed up of wearing pants? As long as the question isn't 'money', writing is the answer, person.

Hey there....well that's a loaded question! Haha.
What I've done to my drum sound personally...is get away from sounding "metal". haha.
There are a lot of variables with this topic but, the reason modern day metal drums sound the way they do isn't because of the drumtuning or EQ....it's because of sound replacing!
(You'll have to do some research about this on your own....way to much info to type here.)
That said...there are a few things that can get you close with a natural kit.
Back in the "old days"....we used a variety of things to get that bright, punchy sound....that lead to all the modern drum samples used.
First...kick drum.
To get that tight, bright sound...you just need to EQ the crap out of it.
Add top end in the 6 - 8K range...this gives you the snap.
Cut some mids...you'll have to play with this to see where the drum will sound best to you. Mids....give you your "tone" and "type" of sound. That's a personal preference issue.
Last low end....and contrary to popular belief.....you filter anything below 100-80 Hz.
This will clean up the muddiness that low end give.... when a lot of notes are being played.
The actual amount of notes....is what creates that "rumble" we associate with metal music...not low end.
Snare...nothing special really. Just compress the snot out of it and, have a nice drum.
Toms....same as kicks.
Over heads....I like to filter all low end....up to about 400Hz for metal stuff. This removes most Tom and kick bleed...giving you a cleaner overhead sound.
Of course all of this depends on the type of sound you're going for but...for metal...as a general rule....this works.
Now, head choices....don't think that matters as much but, most metal players use 2 ply heads (I do not..I like the tone of singles).
Emp and pinstripes really do the trick but, remember.....drums just sound like drums.
All of this processed stuff you hear in these drum sounds on record ....usually aren't the actual drums being used. or they are eq'd very heavily......in other words...there is no way to get a metal drum sound...unless you record your drums.
Drums are drums and the principle of all drums are the same...from a audible point of view.
Hope that helps...

Sheridan and Gwen's friendly talk turns ugly, Ethan barges in on Jared and Theresa while they make love, Julian and T.C. fight, and Fancy and Luis are interrupted again.
Grace is on the phone with Eve. Eve has something to tell her. She is not proud of what she has to say and remembers Julian's prediction of Grace's reaction to her misdeeds. "I have betrayed you Grace. I have betrayed you in the worst possible way."
Grace is sure Eve could never betray her. Whatever is making Eve feel so guilty can't be all that bad. Eve confesses that she never wanted to hurt Grace. When she agreed to keep quiet, she just felt she had no other choice. She was afraid that everything in her life would change.
Eve explains how she was blackmailed and threatened to have her past exposed. Grace knew all about Eve's past from Sam. She still doesn't understand that it was Ivy blackmailing her friend to help her. Eve explains she wanted to stand up to Ivy but she was desperate not to lose everything. She thought her family would hate her once they knew. The worse part was that Eve knew that Ivy was using David Hastings to break up Grace's marriage and she didn't tell her. "I just kept quiet."
Grace is stunned. She calls Eve a miserable, selfish bitch! "I hate you, Eve. I hate you!"
Eve hates herself for what she did. Grace damns Eve straight to hell. Eve says that's where she has been the whole time since she did this. That is not comfort to Grace. She calls Eve a horrible, treacherous back stabber, a Judas.
Inside his home, TC stands with the help of his walker, looking at a photo of him with Eve. He knows how lucky it is that he has her in his life. He looks forward to her coming home from Kay's shower. He has a surprise for her. Unfortunately, he slips and falls to the ground, shattering the photo frame. He lies unconscious on the floor.
T.C. comes to on the floor. He tells himself not to get mad but to get up. After a lot of effort, he gets himself up to a standing position. He is going to show Eve how much he loves her. He walks slowly out with the aid of his walker.
Kay looks at Miguel in disbelief. What could Miguel want to talk to her about after what she has seen? He was making love to Charity just a while ago, and now he is acting like nothing happened.
Fox points out to Julian that he has been drinking quite a lot. This is one of the only pleasures Julian has left in life and he won't give it up. Fox's attention is back to Kay and Miguel. He eavesdrops on them. Miguel tells Kay that he loves her and he wants to know if she told Fox that she is leaving him. Kay can't believe that Miguel still expects her to do that. Miguel doesn't get why she is upset.
Fox decides to follow Miguel and Kay to see what happens next. Julian is more concerned that he is out of liquor. Fox leaves Julian, who spies Eve sitting alone, talking on the phone.
Eve tries to apologize to Grace. Grace refuses to forgive her. "As God is my witness Eve! You are going to pay for this." Grace throws her phone down. Eve wonders out loud how her beautiful life came to such a state.
Julian walks over to Eve. He is clearly drunk as he tells her the problem was she should have stayed with him. He still loves her and wants her. She tries to get away but he grabs her, kissing her. He rips her dress, pawing all over body.
Julian is going to take Eve right there in the backyard. He is going to make Eve love him. She struggles against him but to no avail. Out of nowhere, T.C. appears. He shouts "No!" and crashes his walker over Julian's head. Julian drops unconscious to the ground.
Julian gets on his feet again and punches TC, knocking him to the ground. Eve slaps Julian hard before going to TC. Julian is appalled that he attacked someone suffering from a stroke. Eve calls him despicable.
Julian apologizes to TC but Eve orders him to go away and leave them alone. TC makes a move to go for Julian, but Eve stops him. "He's not worth a damn!" As Julian watches them walk off, he says goodbye to Eve forever.
Kay goes inside the house with Miguel right behind her. Fox quietly follows the two and hides nearby to eavesdrop. Miguel asks what did he lie to her about. Kay keeps calling him unbelievable. He takes it as a compliment.
Miguel guesses that she called him a liar because he promised not to pressure her about telling Fox and he pressured her anyway. Kay says it's a horrible feeling to love someone and know they're sleeping with someone else. Miguel thinks Fox will get over it. Kay is so out done. She tells him that they are over and that she is going to marry Fox after all. "You can go to hell Miguel." Fox is happy that his plan worked like a charm.
Kay tells Miguel to leave her alone. She doesn't want to see him. She runs away from him. Fox gloats. He will take care of her and Maria too.
Sheridan tells Gwen she knows that she has to forget about Luis but she doesn't know how. She denies still being in love with Luis. She is just having a hard time seeing him with Fancy. Whether she still loves him or not, Gwen believes she is stalking Luis. Sheridan calls it following them around because she is concerned about them. Gwen thinks Sheridan made a mistake giving Fancy her blessings to be with Luis. Sheridan needs to tell Luis how she really feels. She needs to find him and tell him that she wants him back
Sheridan comes out of the bathroom and is feeling much better about things. She won't talk to Luis about this because she is finished with Luis. Besides, she can't risk losing Marty. Gwen points out that Sheridan is confusing James with Marty. She thinks to herself that maybe Sheridan really is having a nervous breakdown. Gwen tells Sheridan that she may be upset because she is still grieving Marty.
This doesn't sit well with Sheridan. She brings up Gwen losing her daughter because of Theresa. In her opinion, Gwen is the one with the obsession-- Theresa. She accuses Gwen of being afraid that Theresa will steal Ethan from her. The friendly talk has taken a nasty turn. "Gwen the whole town knows that Ethan loves Theresa more than you! So why don't you divorce Ethan before he goes to be with Theresa?"
Gwen thinks Sheridan is completely losing it. Sheridan keeps saying that she is fine with Chris and James, but it is obvious to Gwen that Sheridan is still in love with Luis. She asks if she is only staying with Chris because of James.
Gwen tells Sheridan she was only trying to help her sort out her feelings when she suggested
that Sheridan doesn't really love Chris. Sheridan accuses Gwen of doing the same thing Eve did to her. She is trying to make her believe she is crazy. Gwen didn't mean to do that. Sheridan has had enough. She heads to the door to leave. Gwen tries to stop her. "Sheridan! Don't do anything without thinking."
Luis and Fancy are in their room at the B & B. After all the delays, they finally will get to make love. Luis and Fancy share a drink together before kissing again. Fancy likes taking it slow. It is amazing. It will be a night she will never forget. Luis feels there is so much love between them. They lay down taking their time, savoring every minute together.
Luis and Fancy are about to make love when suddenly they hear the smoke alarm beeping. They ignore it at first until they hear an announcement telling all the guests to evacuate the building immediately. Luis and Fancy grab a blanket and hurry out, half-naked. Once again they have been interrupted. "It is like someone is conspiring against us."
Luis and Fancy are outside the Bed & Breakfast with the rest of the guests. The owner tells them she thought there was a fire but it turns out someone called in a false alarm to the fire department. Unfortunately, none of them can return to their rooms until the fire department shows up. Luis and Fancy are determined to finish what they started but their clothes and money are in the B & B. They can't go to another motel. They decide they can't wait any longer. Luis leads Fancy behind some nearby bushes and they lay on the ground.
Luis and Fancy are doing it behind the bushes. Someone walks by very deliberately. It is Sheridan. She takes out her cellphone and snaps their photo. "Gotcha."
Jared and Theresa are lying in bed together after making love. They talk about how much they love each other. Theresa says no one can come between them now.
Ethan is in his car on his way to see Theresa. He talks to Valerie on his phone. He won't wait. He is determined to get Theresa away from Jared before it's too late.
Jared and Theresa lay in bed with their arms entwined. Jared tells her that he would like to take Little Ethan to the circus when it comes to town. Theresa tells him she already gave Ethan permission to do that. That is fine with Jared. He will take Little Ethan to the zoo instead. Theresa promised Ethan that too. Jared suggests another place but they are all booked with Ethan. Theresa decides that she will cancel Ethan's play dates with Little Ethan so that the three of them�Jared, Theresa and her son--can spend time together.
Jared gets out of bed to go to the bathroom. Theresa feels like the evening has turned out to be pretty good. There is a knock at the door. Theresa goes to answer it, thinking it is room service. It is Ethan. He tells her he is there to protect her from Jared.
Theresa asks how did he find her. He tells her he lied to the nanny to get the information. He suspected she was with Jared. He came to tell her that Jared has been playing her. "He's not legit and I can prove it to you."
Ethan orders Theresa to get dressed and come with him right now. Theresa refuses. She doesn't believe him. For all she knows he could just be trying to sabotage her from moving on. Ethan argues that he has proof that Jared is a liar. Just like she had proof about Gwen lying, she points out, and Ethan didn't believe her. He doesn't want her confusing the two things. Jared is a bad guy and Ethan insists that Theresa get away from him right away.
Jared calls out to Theresa. She tells him that everything is just fine. She recalls her promise to Jared that she was through playing games. She tells Ethan she won't leave and if he doesn't leave her alone, she threatens to have him arrested for stalking. He is just making excuses to be close to her. Maybe she wants a bad boy and not a goody two shoes that won't leave his wife for her. She pushes him out of the room and slams the door in his face.
When Jared comes out the bathroom, he sees Theresa at the door. He startles her. She doesn't tell him about her conversation with Ethan. Instead she asks him to make her forget. He knocks stuff off a bureau near by and puts Theresa on top. Ethan is still outside the door and hears everything going on. That does not change his mind about getting Theresa away from Jared. Suddenly, he kicks the door down and barges into the room. The two men fight as Theresa yells at them to stop.

German design studio Paperlux designed an astounding series of bendable magazine covers for the November issue of the Novum magazine–small, colorful triangles are punch cut from the cover, so that you can bend, fold, and ripple along the geometric lines.
The color schemes alone (there are 6 versions of the same cover!) are astoundingly complex and nuanced, but the crowing achievement here is really making a print publication that invites people to interact with it, with the playful colors, shapes, and textures.

"I am getting married to the MAN OF MY DREAMS and partner in crime this summer. I invited both Steve and JoAnn, and JoAnn and her husband have already RSVP'ed :-) My fiance's name is David and he could not be any better of a match for me. He has three kids and we are FULL TIME parents. I just bought my first house, so we are all living happily together and I tell you what…I am doing GREAT. And of course I am having so much fun planning this wedding."
"Since the show, I have lost the two most precious things in my life, my Chi-Chi who loved to pee-pee on the paper, and my beautiful and talented mother Arlene DeMarco of the Five DeMarco sisters. I was her personal care giver and saw first hand the horrible heath care system we have and how they treat the elderly. You know me, my plight is to make sure I expose how these poor sick people are treated and be the advocate they need.
Obviously I am still single, I dedicated every ounce of my being to save my mom which left me with no room to find love.I lost her February 13 of this year and hope and pray number one that there is a heaven and she is okay, and that I can find love. I hope to find the strength to continue my career and make her proud."
"I'm going on my third year of happily married wedding bliss and I'm lovin' it like McDonald's! MyhusbandAndy and I met at one of his band's performances just two weeks after Tough Love 2 wrapped and we've been together ever since. Since the big white dress andinfamousnacho cheesefountain, we've both been pretty focused on our careers (mine in realityTVdevelopment and his in music) sono plans for little bumpkins just yet…But someday. Like love, life is random, I sometimes go crazy trying to plan it, but at the end of the day, it's going to happen when happens which always seems to be when I least expect it. So play on playa, play on…"
"So, short end of it, still single. But since then, I graduated grad school and moved to New York City. Working at a large ad agency and doing super awesome fun great stuff. Met some of the girls from last season in a little viewing party reunion. Dating a lot more and having much more fun in general. I definitely appreciate my experience there these days. I learned a lot more about myself than anything and in a good way. It was hard on me for a while because I figured out I wasn't as strong as I thought I was. But I guess it made me get to know myself and make better relationships in general because I didn't know how people were viewing me. And now that I've gotten over myself, I'm so appreciating the amazing life experience, doing the show, even learning about how these things are produced because it gives me insight into my own job. We were casting a video that kids had to film themselves, so I wrote the directions for them like a pro. Even told them not to wear heavy patterns or jangly jewelry. That's right, bitches!"
"I'm married!! I got married on Feb 9th! Everything is going great."
"Dave and I got married last September, we have a 2 year old daughter, Emma, who was our flower girl. All is well and maybe we'll have another one soon…maybe! Sally and I are still really good friends, she attended my wedding and I attended hers — so the show isn't just about finding love, you can find a good friend too!"
