Monte Carlo Masters Series
1R Gaudio - q
1R KIEFER - Schüttler
A bad draw for most of us, but at least a good draw for him, cause one win is possible for sure. :devil:
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
It's a total crap draw :ras:
all-German match ups have always their own dynamics, just remember Kiefer vs Mayer :rolleyes:
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
Plus, Rainer was in the final last year. That was Rainers best tournament last year, Monte Carlo.
I'm not too confident that Nicolas will beat Rainer. If he does, playing the defending French open champion on clay isn't ideal. Not the best draw for sure.
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
This draw sucks!!! :fiery:
Kiwi's probably going to go out there already beaten :mad: *Please let him prove me wrong*
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
not cool.
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
Not cool, indeed. Let's just hope the best and expect the worst, then we're prepared ;)
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
Im not happy to see an all-German 1st round match knowing damn well one of my favorites will be eliminated is irritating as hell :sad:
Anyway Im taking a sicky from work to watch the tennis ALL DAY shush! :devil:
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
if Kiefer can beat Schuettler somehow, he has Gaudio and this time not on a hardcourt. Looks very worse! Rainer beat Gaudio? I say Rainer is better player on claycourt, but Gaudio is very dificult! Very likely that anybody of the two will be elimenated in round #2 :sad:
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
I didn't sign on until most of the way through the 2nd set when Kiwi was down 1-4. Got a little worried when he lost that second but know Rainer is serving 15-30, 1-5 :bounce: :bounce:
I hope Neely is getting TV coverage and posts the report here :D
6-2 2-6 6-1
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
He proved me wrong!! :bounce: :bounce:
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
I think in best-of-3, Gaudio is beatable for Kiefer. :)
The first and 2nd set, his 1st serve was under 50 %, if he has about 60 % on Wednesday, he can defeat him!
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
I wouldn't go that far. He should have beaten Rainer in straights or at least a more competitive 2nd set. But I'm happy for a win. Let's hope Nicolas plays to his abilities and makes a match out of Gaudio. I hope he doesn't go in the match thinking he is going to lose, but going in thinking that he can beat Gaston.
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
Great win Kiwi :yeah:
Now let's pray to the tennis gods for a miracle :lol:
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
Unfortunately with realism I think it will be most likely final destination for him against Gaudio. However, I would like nothing more than to be wrong ;)
Still sad somehow that Rainer and Kiwi met so early, hardly can be glad about the win. I feel happy for the one, but sad for the other :sobbing:
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
Gaudio up next, he has already two clay titles this year... That's gonna be tough for Kiwi. I think his only chance is hoping that Gaudio has to struggle with his mental problems again :p But unfortunately that Goucho has become more balanced.
But again, let's hope the best and expect the worst, that mantra worked against Rainer :lol:
Re: Monte Carlo Masters Series
Looks like I will be able to see this match on the tennis channel since they are on center court :)

An intense manhunt continues for two men who escaped from the Powell County Jail early Thursday morning.
A fellow inmate told jail officials he saw 24-year-old Josh Abner and 26-year-old Phillip Wells crawl through a ceiling panel to escape.
The two were sharing the cell with seven other inmates.
"Another inmate had said they went through the roof, and they'd just gone out. By the time we got around there they'd already gone," said Powell County Jailer Travis Crabtree.
Police immediately began searching for Abner, who's from McKee, and Wells, who's from Richmond.
The men were booked in Powell County on December 5 for burglary, theft, and criminal mischief charges. Abner's also charged for being a persistent felon.
Sheriff's deputies say the charges don't stop there.
"I would say that at least five other counties have charges on these two," says Powell County Sheriff's Deputy Robert Mathews.
Officials say family members of Abner and Wells in surrounding counties are aware of their escape. Police are working with relatives on tracking the two down.
"We have some leads at this time. We're focusing on family members and things of that nature," Mathews says.
Police say soon after the inmates escaped, a car was stolen from an apartment parking lot near the jail. They believe Abner and Wells could be the thieves. Investigators say they're looking for a 1993 Honda Civic.
In October, a similar situation occurred at the Powell County Jail. Another inmate also escaped through the ceiling. At that time, jail officials blamed a construction flaw.
Officials say the Department of Corrections is expected to inspect the ceiling Thursday to see if it needs repairs or to be replaced.

The Mokpo Maritime Cultural Festival 2013 will take place at the area around Samhakdo Island, in Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do from August 2 to 6, 2013.
Celebrating its 8th year, the festival aims to introduce Mokpo City's maritime culture and history to audiences at home and abroad. This year, the festival's most representative programs include gilnori* (road parade), pasi (seasonal fish market), a marine fireworks show, and a lamp exhibit of 1,897 kinds of fish (to commemorate Mokpo Port's establishment in 1897). In addition, there will be a special exhibit on Mokpo maritime culture, a rock concert, dance performances, and water-themed hands-on activities.
Admission to the festival is free of charge. However, there will be a 2,000 won admission fee to the seasonal fish market.

Toyota Tundra to tow Space Shuttle
Posted By Tom Jackson On September 17, 2012 @ 9:55 am In Construction Blog | No Comments
So how does a stock 1/2 ton, V8 pickup manage to tow a 300,000 pound space ship?
The secret lies in a specially designed towing rig developed with The Sarens Group, a heavy lifting and engineered transport company, [1] which came up with a dolly specifically designed for the job.
The event is scheduled for October 13. The total trip for the Space Shuttle Endeavour will be 12 miles, but the Tundra will take it the last quarter mile long where it will come to rest as a permanent exhibit at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
Let's hope those brakes are good!

Management courses
Taking a course online has many benefits one of which is being able to study in your own home or apartment. With the many challenges currently going on in colleges and universities such as higher tuition, course shortages, budget cuts and in some cases, violence, it just makes sense to study online. Find out the details of taking a project management course online.
Many Course Subjects to Choose From
Besides the aforementioned benefits, there are other benefits such as being able to choose from a variety of programs and courses. To be clear, in most cases, online learning is also more affordable than attending a traditional college.
No Commuter Costs and more Comfort
Another benefit is not having to worry about commuting costs. In most cases, you don't have to buy textbooks, too. Textbooks are usually available for free online. Most importantly, most universities and colleges are beginning to accept credits earned from free open online courses. Free online courses can help a student fulfill certain educational requirements at little or no cost. Online learning is much more comfortable than attending a college classroom. Because there are no physical class sessions, all you have to do is work at your computer, at times that are convenient for you. You don't have to fight the traffic, find a parking space or leave work to go to class.
Convenience and Flexibility
Most importantly, taking a course online is more convenient and flexible. You can plan your study time around the rest of your day. Because course material is always accessible online, you can plan your study according to your day or night's events. In addition, online learning offers those who are shy more opportunities to participate in class discussions or by conversing in online chats. In addition, some online students say that online courses are easier to concentrate on because they are not distracted by classroom activities or other students.
Technical Skills can be Improved
Online learning also gives you the opportunity to improve your technical skills. Basic online courses require the development of new computer skills. Skills that are learned online can turn into various career options. Examples of skills that are learned in an online program are creating and sharing documents, completing online training sessions and including audiovideo material into your assignments.
Reasons why Many Like Taking Courses Online
Many like and enjoy taking courses online because they can finish entire degrees while they work or while they are raising a family. In addition, earning a degree online while working will tell an employer that you are a "go-getter," that you have a desire to get ahead and that you are preparing for challenges that may be coming your way.
To conclude, taking an online course can be enjoyable, interesting and a great way to prepare for the future.

The Boys and Girls Club is more than a place to hang out. It is transformational.
Sean McCartney is the executive director of the El Dorado County Western Slope chapter. "Try to imagine a more vital resource than the next generation," he waved a hand at a class of young people. "The only link we have to a brighter tomorrow. People call them Millennials, I call them 'the future.' Right now they're between 6 and 18 years old. They'll cure cancer, colonize Mars and bring peace to this Earth. Each of them is valuable, sought, welcomed and embraced right here."
The club's three county locations, Placerville, Pollock Pines and Georgetown, welcome 360 children every day, supported by 32 employees and many volunteers. An hour spent at the Placerville Clubhouse in the National Guard Armory, 212 Armory Dr., reveals how deeply these children are cherished and nourished.
The familiar Boys and Girls Clubs of America came together in Hartford, Con., over 100 years ago. The local club started up in 1999. McCartney elaborated, "Our mission is to be the catalyst for character, which leads to growth in self-esteem, community responsibility and respect for others. It will be manifested and measured in a thousand ways."
The club refines its mission into programs, projects and rewards, exemplified by the prestigious Youth of the Year, an all-ages award for academic performance, moral character, life goals, and poise and public speaking ability.
For boys and girls ages 11-13, the nationally respected Torch Club, sponsored by Staples, Inc. represents comprehensive small-group leadership and service.
Project Learn involves opportunities for writing activities, homework help, tutoring and cognitive skills games. It also emphasizes parental and school involvement, critical factors for club members ages 6-18.
Power Hour helps club members ages 6-12 be more successful in school by providing homework help and tutoring and encourages members to become self-directed learners.
SMART Girls is a health, fitness, prevention/education and self-esteem enhancement program designed to meet the developmental needs of girls ages 8-12 and 13-17.
Street SMART counteracts the negative lures of gangs, violence and street influences on young adolescents ages 11-13. They are taught how gangs work and how to resist being recruited, how to recognize and resolve conflicts peacefully, how to respect the similarities and differences of others.
The arts program enables youth to develop their creativity and cultural awareness through the visual arts, crafts, performing arts and creative writing.
Triple Play is a Game Plan for Mind, Body and Soul. This program takes a holistic approach to educating boys and girls about good nutrition, making physical fitness a daily practice and developing individual strengths and good character. And so it goes with specific programs designed for every age group; from computer skills to money management, from health and self-image to career exploration.
McCartney is second generation club director. His father ran the operation in Tracy. "I saw the difference he made in those kids' lives." After graduating from Humboldt State in 1998, McCartney developed the Stockton Club. He recalls, "For many it was the only safe place they knew. In 20 years maybe they won't remember a specific event from their club days, but they will remember a teacher, a mentor."
The Boys and Girls Club produces outreach events each year, relies on grants and donations, and welcomes volunteers to help with homework and reading.

MP3: Best Coast & Wavves – "Got Something For You"
Really don't know how to describe how cute this is without reverting to LOLCats. I mean, indie rock's first couple, Best Coast (aka. Bethany Cosentino) and Wavves (aka. Nathan Williams), performing a Christmas duet about giving eachother presents? This is just too adorable.
Target in the USA have released this track as part of a free Christmas compilation, also featuring Blackalicious, Bishop Allen and Coconut Records among others.
An undeniable highlight, "Got Something For You" is a rare feat for either Best Coast or Wavves: probably the only track they've ever written which would have you opt for a crackling fireplace over a surfboard.

One outfitter found a camp in timber—a Nichols camp, with a fresh three-rock campfire.
The hellish, screeching vibration was somehow absorbed by the timber structure of the house.
And her timber magnate husband maxed out on contributions to both Thompson and John McCain.
Though the company imports its wood from a timber supplier, they cut and process it.
They took off through the timber, and so began a five-month hunt for two men in the wilds of America.
We have seen that there are "timber prairies" and "flower-prairies."
Me and Lawyer Fillmore has been a-lookin' into them deeds, and this timber is mine;' and he driv off.
We could see a line of timber just ahead of her, and that Jim was riding for his life.
She always seemed natural to me; and I had got to know every timber and stick about her.
The intruder took his gun and accoutrements and without a word walked away up the mountain through the timber land.
Old English timber "building, structure," later "building material, trees suitable for building," and "wood in general," from Proto-Germanic *temran (cf. Old Frisian timber "wood, building," Old High German zimbar "timber, wooden dwelling, room," Old Norse timbr "timber," German Zimmer "room"), from PIE *demrom-, from root *dem-/*dom- "build" (source of Greek domos, Latin domus; see domestic (adj.)).
The related Old English verb timbran, timbrian was the chief word for "to build" (cf. Dutch timmeren, German zimmern). As a call of warning when a cut tree is about to fall, it is attested from 1912 in Canadian English. Timbers in the nautical slang sense (see shiver (n.)) is from the specialized meaning "pieces of wood composing the frames of a ship's hull" (1748).
An exclamation of triumph, achievement, etc

Shrinking Terriers: Mat Piotrowski, 7'1″ red-shirt freshman, leaves BUby Sam Perkins March 28, 2012
(Boston, MA) — Boston University sources have officially confirmed that red-shirt freshman Mat Piotrowski has left the Terriers and will not return. The 7'1" center as not participated in individual practices, workouts, or team lifts in roughly a month.
Piotrowski was recruited and signed by previous Terrier head coach Pat Chambers, and spent his true-freshman season in 2010-2011 sitting out as a red-shirt. In his first season in uniform, Piotrowski played in just eight games, scoring his only collegiate points on a pair of free throws in a January 24th win over UMBC.
In two years on campus, Piotrowski was never able to progress beyond the "project" label, with a lack of foot speed, lateral quickness, and most importantly, aggression, all major factors, and the writing was on the wall for a long time that Piotrowski was not going to ever see the floor in head coach Joe Jones system.
Piotrowski left the team after Boston University's season ended in a quarterfinal loss to Hartford in the America East Tournament.
It is being reported that he will look to transfer.
Piotrowski is the first Terrier to leave the program, but probably not the last, as it is likely — but not definite — that one more player will leave Boston University this year. Word is that Boston University will sit on any scholarships that are freed up, unless a true "can't miss" prospect (or more likely, transfer) becomes available.

Originally posted by Michael Morris: What I ultimately decided was to do each booking in a separate thread and while the booking on a particular record was pending if that row in the table was selected a busy cursor would appear and booking would be disabled. Any number of bookings could then proceed while waiting for the pending bookings to complete. In other words, waiting for a stale lock did not shut down the client.
So did the thread message back to the client about the success of the booking or was this an asynchronous thread that just booked and ended?

Dwayne Booth seems like the typical mild-mannered man, middle-aged hipster model, with his round horn-rimmed glasses, thrift-store-chic wardrobe, tousled yet stylish haircut, and bemused expression. Booth lives in the tiny, kid-friendly borough of Narberth with his wife, Diana, a Quaker school technology coordinator, and their 8-year-old twin girls. On school mornings, he waits at the bus stop with his daughters, chatting with the other stay-at-home parents (mostly moms), as commuting neighbors (mostly dads) bustle toward the SEPTA station.
It's easy to picture Booth in one of his prior low-wage jobs for high-IQ slackers: coffee shop barista, Barnes & Noble clerk, paid medical volunteer. It's a bit jarring, though, to learn how this unassuming Main Liner actually earns his living.
After waving goodbye to the girls, Booth retreats to a second-floor studio in his twin house, jams some jazz, and draws cartoons. His work is nothing like newspaper comic strips, or Donkey Democrat vs. Elephant Republican political cartoons. Under the name "Mr. Fish," Booth's work is even more radical, and more disturbing, than the standard fare in lefty "alternative" papers like the one you're reading now.
One Mr. Fish cartoon, captioned "MORE BLOOD!" depicts George W. Bush as the smiling head of a very engorged penis. In another, a haloed God sits dejectedly on a cloud, reacting to the legalization of gay marriage. "Oh fiddlesticks—I'll never be able to compete with analingus." Even cute herbivores are not safe from his poison pen. A mother deer lovingly explains that "Republicans are dickhead motherfuckers with shit for brains who have gotten everything wrong for the last 50 years."
Over the years, Mr. Fish cartoons have appeared in Harper's, Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Mother Jones, Slate, Huffington Post, Truthdig.com and—until a very messy departure—the LA Weekly. Booth has collected his favorite cartoons—both published and rejected—in a new book titled Go Fish: How to Win Contempt and Influence People (Akashic Books, $18.95). The artwork is interspersed with a short memoir—or, as Booth puts it, a "coming-of-rage story."
Booth grew up in the Jersey shore town of Manahawkin, near Long Beach Island, the son of a "1950s housewife" mother, and a blue-collar stepfather. The town was choked with free-spending tourists all summer, but was desolate after Labor Day. The off-season economy was supported by "a single Dunkin Donuts, a porno shop, two and a half gas stations and a thousand bars," Booth recalls. "It was suddenly the exact wrong place for tourists to come, unless they wanted to commit suicide in the dunes."
In this manic-depressive milieu, boy Booth taught himself to draw on purloined classroom paper, sketching skeletons, elaborate battles between sharks and whales, and a 474-page opus on a giant, violent hog named "Suey Pig." Booth never read comics as a kid, he insists. "I preferred monster magazines, because I pitied monsters. I saw them as victims of straight society's thuggish refusal to tolerate outsiders."
After high school, Booth enrolled in Rutgers as a fine-arts student, but dropped out after a couple semesters. He bummed around New Brunswick for another three years, working odd jobs and homeschooling himself on Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre and other wise guys.
Booth began drawing as a break from his main passion: "writing unpublishable diatribes on what's wrong with everything and everybody in the world." He adopted the nom de cartoon of "Mr. Fish," the rejected name of a family bird, to avoid confusion with George Booth—the more famous, less nihilistic New Yorker cartoonist.
Unlike Booth's angry writing, Mr. Fish's angry art slowly found a market. His first cartoon was published in Anarchy magazine in 1990. Predictably, the anarchists never got it together to pay for his cartoons, but they published Mr. Fish for years.
Moving to Los Angeles in 1997, Booth finally landed a steady gig with the LA Weekly, where he was a regular contributor from 2003 until 2010. During these years, Mr. Fish sharpened his pen to skewer the Left's usual suspects, as well as its heroes.
Some of Mr. Fish's most malevolent work involves George W. Bush—a gardening Bush planting miniature flag-draped coffins on Earth Day; a blood splattered Bush watching his daughters' heads being blown off to impress "Middle Eastern Daddies" about Western values; and a Frankenstein monster Bush watching Karl Rove leave the White House, thinking: "Maybe he's right—maybe the villagers will eventually respect me."
These days, Mr. Fish is just as brutal with Obama for unfailingly, and predictably, betraying the Hope-and-Change hype. In one cartoon, the dorkily smiling president tells a resurrected Martin Luther King Jr. that his dream is "to not piss off rich people—that's really about it." In another, Obama is "selling his war in Afghanistan to suckers," opening his suit jacket to reveal those ubiquitous flag draped coffins.
Booth admits that he is especially hard on Obama, who "was so likable that his supporters made excuses to perpetuate a lie that politicians will honor their campaign promises."
An indifferent Protestant boy turned avowedly atheist adult, Mr. Fish's cartoons often profane the holy. Jesus Christ hits on women at a bar by bragging: "My dad invented the beaver." A bloody, crucified Jesus is in bed with a blonde, apologizing: "Sorry, baby, not tonight—I gotta rise up early tomorrow."
While he may offend the odd Christian, Mr. Fish really pisses off Jews and Muslims. Cartoons critical of Israel's policy toward the Palestinians—like the Israeli tank with a menorah turret, or emaciated concentration camp survivors protesting the "Holocaust in Gaza"—have drawn death threats and hate mail, says Booth, who insists that he is neither pro-Palestinian nor anti-Semitic, but anti-violence.
In September 2005, Mr. Fish jumped—or, rather, tried to jump—into the worldwide controversy over the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. Booth submitted to the mainstream daily LA Times and the alternative LA Weekly a recreation of one of the most inflammatory cartoons—Mohammed with a bombshell turban. It was a dot-to-dot version, so readers could have the thrill of actually drawing one of the graven images that had sparked bloody riots throughout the Muslim world.
Cowed by death threats from Islamic fundamentalists, the worldwide mainstream media had a self-imposed ban on reprinting the sacrilegious cartoons. The LA Times immediately rejected the cartoon, Booth says, "because they were afraid of having their heads chopped off, literally, and their families killed."
However, the LA Weekly editors summoned the courage to publish his dot-to-dot Mohammed. The day before the cartoon was to appear, Booth happened to be speaking to a cartoonist group in San Diego. "I told everybody in the room to pick up a copy of the Weekly and send a message that we are a free society capable of grappling with controversy and celebrating the virtues of fighting censorship."
"Terrific article. I love learning of artists/cartoonists who make an impact and make a living. Bravo!"
Go Fish: How to Win Contempt and Influence People
(Akashic Books, $18.95)
Thanks for the plug - I think I'll run down to Borders and pick up a copy. Wait a minute..."
"Both brave Philadelphia 'alternative' newsies refused to republish the Motoons. The Inky did, & protests ensued!"
"Nice article. I did connect the dots on my version of the muhammad cartoon and still have it around somewhere.
btw, his website is clowncrack not crown"
"Dwayne Booth kicks ass. If he does not simultaneously crack you up and piss you off, you are not paying attention..."
""Predictably, the anarchists never got it together to pay for his cartoons, but they published Mr. Fish for years...."

I made the biggest mistake by taking my car to autos international , they have had my car for the last 4 months and everytime i call about the progress the people can not even give me any information and keep telling me that they are working on it. I can not even describe how angry I am with this company, the people are very rude and have no idea what is going on. I always get the same answer , let me check and see whats going on with it. . my god people , I had to go out and buy another car just to get to work thanks to this so called repair shop. I have discoverd by googling Autos international that this repair shop has an excessive amount of complaints and others have or are experiencing the same problems with this shop. I guess I should have did better research before i took it to them. I have had no choice but to get a lawyer now and will be suing this shop for the cost of the repair and my loss of income thanks to their inability to repair my car. DO NOT GET FOOLED PEOPLE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS REPAIR SHOP , THEY ARE FULL OF LIES

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Every year around tax season, scams seem to surface. A lot of unsuspecting filers may find them in their inboxes, their mailboxes, even on their phones. WKYT is showing you the scams the Better Business Bureau wants to warn you about.
The BBB gets bombarded around this time with talk of tax scams.
"Everything from I haven't gotten my W2 yet to what's this crazy email that's telling me I haven't paid my taxes and I did," notes the BBB's Heather Clary. She says scam artists seem to find every way possible to reach tax payers, and their favorite way to reach you is through e-mail. The IRS, though, never contacts anyone through e-mail.
"It will frighten you with all kinds of things to trick you into clicking on a link that can either take you to a website that looks like it belongs to the IRS," says Clary.
The BBB also warns about giving out your birth date and social security number. A scam artist with access to that information can open credit cards and cell phone accounts in your name.

The Regulating and Testing Argument
New Jersey's Courier-Post published a lengthy article covering homeschooling issues in NJ and across the country.Two nationally known entities in and out of the homeschool community were quoted, even as many consider Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) and Stanford University's Political Science Professor Reich notorious, outlying elements from both ends of the political spectrum. Professor Reich displays continuous irritation with homeschoolers' educational and family freedoms and it was forked out again in the Courier-Post. HSLDA lauds standardized testing results, while high-stakes testing is currently raising its ugly head in federal Common Core/Race to the Top/No Child Left Behind invasions.
I appreciated the parents' reflections in the article.
Medford mom: 'I do not think home educators should be regulated, ever'– written by Phil Dunn
Rosemary Laberee of Medford has been a homeschooling mother for the last 14 years.
"I do not think home educators should be regulated, ever," said Laberee, whose four children are now 19, 16, 13 and 10.
"We have proven ourselves."
There are experts, however, who disagree. They say there should be oversight for parents who choose to educate their own children. (more…)

The Newsletter of
Playing with Pronounsby Eric S. Rabkin
Copyright © 1996, Eric S. Rabkin
Since the 1920's, the literary fantastic has exploited two related stratagems to illuminate the confusion between the biological category of sex and the socially constructed category of gender: invent new pronouns and explore existing ones. Let us consider both.
Maskull, protagonist of David Lindsay's marvelous A Voyage to Arcturus (1920), meets someone of "a positive third sex." "[I]n order to translate into words the sexual impression produced in Maskull's mind by the stranger's physical aspect, it is necessary to coin a new pronoun, for none in earthly use would be applicable. Instead of 'he,' 'she,' or 'it,' therefore, 'ae' will be used" for "she/he" as well as "aer" for "her/him" and "aes" for "her/hers/his." Every occurrence of these new pronouns reminds us that existing English pronouns inevitably mark the physical (sex) as a mental (gender) category. Thus Lindsay helps undercut the blithe acceptance of a "generic 'he'" for, say, Man. But the fundamental sex/gender confusion remains unexamined.Virginia Woolf does much better in Orlando (1928) by exploring existing pronouns rather than inventing new ones. When Orlando awakens to discover a change of personal plumbing, a mirror confirms that "Orlando had become a woman--there is no denying it. But in every other respect, Orlando remained precisely as he had been. The change of sex, though it altered their future, did nothing whatever to alter their identity. Their faces remained ... practically the same. His memory--for in future we must, for convention's sake, say 'her' for 'his,' and 'she' for 'he'--her memory, then, went back through all the events of her life without encountering any obstacle." In transforming "his" to "her," Woolf stops across a threshold marked by "their." The plural indicates not only Orlando's face and its mirror image but a conflation of categories, of how one is and how one is seen, in the "mind," as Lindsay writes, or in a mirror. Although the novel never abandons its femininized pronouns, the unperturbed consciousness of Orlando, who simply will not fulfill the masculine or feminine part, brilliantly sustains our sensitivity to the cultural construction of what we usually take to be biological categories.Ursula K. LeGuin uses both stratagems, and with the same powerful story. The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) features androgynes who are usually sexually inactive but periodically sexualized as sometimes male, sometimes female. Because any individual can be father and mother to different offspring, the cultural parenting categories, among others, decouple from a biological substrate. Although the novel uses masculine pronouns throughout, it did much to disentangle the sex/gender confusion."When I wrote the book..." LeGuin notes in a special "Afterword" to the novel's Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition (1994), "I believed ... that the masculine pronoun in English was genuinely generic ... [but] some years after the book was published, I lapsed from the faith, and have remained unregenerate ever since." Enjoying her apostasy, LeGuin offers her "Afterword," a retelling of the first chapter "with invented pronouns," another retelling "with shifted pronouns" (using "she" where "he" had been), and an excerpt "with altered pronouns" (using "she" when someone is sexualized as female). I find the first retelling, which uses "e" for "she/he," "en" for "her/him," "es" for "her/hers/his," and "enself" for "herself/himself," most successful, but, unfortunately, LeGuin just "do[es]n't like any invented pronouns in the long run" (292), and so has reverted to the more common periphrases.LeGuin specifically rejects the invented pronoun system I find most powerful, Marge Piercy's from Woman on the Edge of Time (1976). In this forceful social novel which is also a subtle character study, the protagonist, an oppressed Chicana, journeys either in reality or in her imagination to a sexually egalitarian future that uses "person" for "she/he," "per" for "her/him," "pers" for "her/hers/his," and "perself" for "herself/himself." One need not read long before these coinages become familiar, effectively effacing the connection between sex and gender. Unfortunately, that very effacement, were the novel not so rooted in the protagonist's dire experience, would leave behind the reality of gender construction in our own world. Adopting Piercy's pronouns might inch us toward that utopian state, but, as it is, we use English.Michael Blumlein tries to use Woolf's pronoun switch, which occurs only once in Orlando, to highlight consistently both the sexualizing that pronouns imply and the sex/gender confusion. In X,Y (1993), Frankie, a female stripper, faints only to revive as a man. Although we see the same body, it is inhabited by a different, mostly amnesiac, mind, knowing only per gender, and its misfit with per body. Per lover, Terry, whom person does not know but on whom per comes to depend, tries to care for per while resisting per self-knowledge. At one point, long before the book plummets into grotesque S/M, "Frankie was content to stay at home and drift in the sea of Terry's pills. He took to taking them two and three times a day, which Terry did not discourage. He liked knowing that Frankie was taking care of herself, and he liked knowing where she was." By this use of free indirect style, the reader unerstands that "He" in the second sentence is Frankie thought of by Terry while "He" in the third sentence is Terry who thinks of Frankie as "she." Even in this exploitative novel, these rhetorical gymnastics succeed.Gwyneth Jones succeeds to greater effect in White Queen (1991) precisely by making gymnastics much harder to follow. Her novel features aliens who are apparently male or female but when aroused evert or invert as need be to become functionally hermaphroditic. Through rapid switches of free indirect style, Jones sends our own sense of pronominalization--and of sexual certainty--reeling. "The alien's [Clavel's] determination to enter the service of humanity's God ... was intimately connected with his tragic love for Johnny. ... Clavel was reading Marx as part of her studies" (310). Who is thinking "his," who "her"? Jones uses her aliens--and the stylistic pyrotechnics they warrant--to pry us from our unconscious sexual conceits. We are all aliens to each other, aliens who must all work harder to meet on mutually acceptable grounds. This is the literary fantastic.

Vote as you see fit, says Zille to DAComment on this story
Cape Town - DA leader Helen Zille has said that no one in her party instructs anyone else on how to vote for positions. She was speaking in Parliament on Tuesday after welcoming former Cope MP Nosimo Balindlela to the DA.
She said people were free to lobby or endorse whomever they wanted because the DA had an open system.
A wrangle has broken out in the DA in the lead-up to party elections. Masizole Mnqasela, an MP and the party's home affairs spokesman, is challenging Wilmot James for the post of federal chairman in the elections on November 25.
On Sunday, he filed a complaint with the chairman of the party's federal executive, James Selfe.
Selfe said former Western Cape DA leader Theuns Botha had sent a letter "enjoining people to support Wilmot James, and asking people to confirm they would support him".
"The other candidate believes this constitutes intimidation," said Selfe.
He said he had given Botha an opportunity to respond.
Mnqasela said he felt that Botha's letter had "undermined democracy", and he had thus lodged a formal complaint.

The brain stem--which can be compared to a telephone cable with thousands of individual wires, or nerve fibers, that send signals between the brain and the body-- controls nearly all vital functions. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine (neck) can affect the function of the brain stem, which can be a critical factor in the development of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Upper Cervical doctors are getting exceptional results with fibromyalgia patients by correcting the misalignments.

One of the most important issues in Lyon County during 2014 likely will be the hotly contested race for sheriff.
Although the candidate filing period is not until March 3-14, four candidates already are campaigning for the office. Three of the candidates are current sheriff's deputies - Undersheriff Albert Torres and deputies Al McNeil and Greg Kantz - while the fourth is a former deputy, retired Lt. Steven Adams.
Each candidate says his years of experience with the department and his career in law enforcement makes him the best candidate for the position, but they all agree that the decision ...

Edwin Rodriguez and the Los[T] Marlins
The resignation of Edwin Rodriguez coming this weekend is not suprising considering recent play in the past two weeks, losing 20 of the last 23 games. The Marlins were once a 1/2 game behind the Phillies, but now sit at 13 games back and right next to the Washington Nationals in last place.
What went wrong for Edwin Rodriguez?
Was trading Dan Uggla a bad move that hurt the offense?
Answer: NO. Dan Uggla has a batting average well below .200. He is having a worse season than Hanley Ramirez.
What about dealing Jorge Cantu and Cody Ross from last season?
Answer: NO. You can Wahh wahh cry all you want about these guys getting dealt off. Cameron Maybin was traded off also and no matter how bad Chris Coghlan is playing, Chris is still better than Maybin. On paper and on the field Gaby Sanchez and Logan Morrison are flat out raking the ball. Cantu and Ross got replaced with better overall talent period.
Is this all Hanley Ramirez's fault?
Answer: Maybe, but I still say no. If Hanley lost anything I would say he lost two things. First thing he lost was his competitive edge. He lost his rival in Dan Uggla. The Marlins had two guys who were critical of each other and had to put up or shut up. To me it is no surprise that the separation has led to Uggla and Hanley having the worse season of their careers. They may hate each other, but they need each other also.
The second thing Hanley lost is his game. He wanted to become a power hitter and he did for a while when Jim Presley was his hitting coach, but now with Presley gone, Hanley's power game is gone too.
Hanley's Numbers since his rookie year, through June 19th shows a steady decline in his stolen base numbers and inconsistency in his power numbers. He was a leadoff hitter who turned into a decent number 3 hitter, but there comes a point where reality has to kick in and the Marlins need to realize that Hanley is not a true #3 hitter. He is at best a #2 or #6 hitter, otherwise leave him as the leadoff hitter.
Hanley's Stats through June 19th over his career.
Should the Marlins trade Hanley Ramirez?
Answer: Hell no. Hanley is entering his prime right now. One bad season doesn't mean you should trade a guy. Today is June 19th. Ask me that same question in July of 2012. Until then the Marlins need to consider options of getting Hanley some extra batting help and a better spot in the lineup. Right now Hanley is the only guy who you can seriously consider as a leadoff hitter on the Marlins team. Coghlan has been great, but Coghlan is no leadoff hitter.
Can any blame be focused on the injury to Josh Johnson leading the Marlins to their bad streak of losses?
Answer: Yes. Before Josh Johnson got hurt, he was among best pitchers in baseball. Of the last 20 losses, if JJ was healthy you're looking at a better rested bullpen, because with JJ on the mound you're looking at a 7-8 inning pitcher. He gives the bullpen a rest. You can't count on Nolasco, Vazquez, or Volstad.
Can blame be shifted to the Marlins 2-5 starters?
Answer: Nolasco yes. Vazquez Yes. Volstad Yes. Sanchez no. Ricky Nolasco deserves a lot of blame, because he has been just as bad as Javier Vazquez the past month. Javier Vazquez needs to simply retire. Someone needs to sit down with Chris Volstad and work with him. The Marlins rushed Volstad to the majors and he has been unable to develop since having a great rookie season. Anibal Sanchez right now is the Marlins second best pitcher behind JJ and probably has the most competitive spirit in the Marlins entire rotation, probably even moreso than JJ.
The ultimate changes needed to get the Marlins back on track would be to send Chris Volstad down or trade him to an organization with a pitching coach who can help him. Javier Vazquez needs to retire. Ricky Nolasco has had his chances and up to this point has not been able to get any consistency. Now is the time to trade Nolasco if he cannot get his stuff together. The Marlins have Alex Sanabia and Brad Hand available and ready to start. Brian Sanches started one game and looked excellent as well, but Sanches has been one of the Marlins better relievers. Ryan Webb is also another potential candidate for the starting rotation. Where do you go?
Trade Nolasco, coax Vazquez into retirement or release him, and trade or send Volstad to he Minors.
Can Leo Nunez be blamed for the Marlins and Rodriguez's failure?
Answer: Maybe. Nunez is a decent closer. He's not the best, but he is not the worse either. He can get the job done, but he can't handle pressure or pitching against good hitting teams. He is good enough to be a closer, but he doesn't have the right set of balls to take his game to the next level.
What abut the Marlins bullpen?
Answer: Yes, but this goes back to the starting rotation. Josh Johnson and Anibal Sanchez has been great this year. Nolasco was good in the month of April, but turned to crap afterward. Javier Vazquez and Chris Volstad has been batting practice for 95% of their starts. The bullpen was doing great, but they can't go out there every day when your starting pitcher can't reach the 5th inning two to three times a week. The Marlins bullpen is solid when rested, but as a unit when they're tired they can't get the job done. You have to look at that and speculate, if this is October and the playoffs are they going to step up and get the outs or get run out of the ballgame?
Final Verdict:
Edwin Rodriguez is not the person to blame for the Marlins failure. As the manager his job is to direct the team. He is a spectator with a front-seat view of his players strengths and weaknesses. The organization's goals likely will not be met with the current losing trend shown. As a manager, Rodriguez needs to use a strategy that will end the losing streak. He utilized unfavorable line-ups that did not produce when hitters such as Gaby Sanchez, Logan Morrison, and Mike Stanton was hot. Josh Johnson and Ricky Nolasco in several of their outings were left in one inning too long which led to the opposing team coming up with victories.
Edwin has the potential to be a decent major league manager, but this Marlins team needs a leader with experience. Fredi Gonzalez was not the answer and is still not the answer. The Marlins team needs leadership and experience, and right now Rodriguez cannot bring either.
Rodriguez can take 50% of the blame for the Marlins recent failure. The other 50% of the blame can be distributed evenly among the pitching coach, Hanley Ramirez, the batting coach, Jeffrey Loria the owner, and injuries.

What $15 Million Buys You?
The Florida Marlins refused to give Dan Uggla a 5yr/$70 million dollar deal. They had good reason to. Chris Coghlan is most likely the second basemen of the future. Until then Omar Infante will be making a pit stop here for 2011.
So what does the Marlins do with the $15 million that Uggla was asking for?
Javier Vazquez - 1yr at $7 million.
John Buck - 3yrs at $18 million.
Randy Choate - 2yrs at $2.5 million.
Rumor has it the Marlins signing of John Buck may open up the possibility of a trade for his former team mate Zack Greinke if Greinke would be willing to sign long term with the Marlins. Greinke has made it clear he does not want to play in a big market and would be willing to take a discount. Two teams, the Marlins and Rays are likely landing options since they both are near home. The Malins are expected to contend in 2011 and 2012, while the Rays are just now starting a rebuilding phase.
Rumor has it the Marlins are looking to deal Ricky Nolasco, Logan Morrison, and possibly Chris Volstad involved in the deal for Zack Greinke, although the Marlins deny the rumor. The trade is expected to be a 3-team blockbuster deal possibly involving the Seattle Mariners or the Arizona Diamondbacks.
With Nolasco gone, this would open up the possibility of Greinke becoming the second starter behind Josh Johnson. He would be in a no-pressure situation with a much better offense. Coghlan could move to left field with speedster Scott Cousins taking over center field. Alex Sanabia would fill in the 5th spot in the rotation.
With Vazquez being on a 1 year deal the Marlins would not have financial issues for at least another 3 years when Michael Stanton, Gaby Sanchez, and Chris Coghlan are arbitration eligible.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch is competing for playing time with newcomers Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney and Donte' Stallworth and holdovers Wes Welker and Julian Edelman. Branch might also be fighting for a roster spot. He admits players lose something as they age. But he says he will never lose his mental skills that allow him to evade defenders and run routes.

JAMESTOWNŌĆöLast Wednesday evening, the Board of Directors at the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) voted to install median barriers on the Pell Bridge. The measures have been researched by the authority in response to a number of deaths that have occurred in recent years involving vehicles crossing the non-barricaded median and striking oncoming traffic.
ŌĆ£Safety is of the utmost importance to RITBA,ŌĆØ said Beth Bailey, spokesperson for RITBA, in an email.
