Ghosts in the Landscape: Vietnam Revisited
March 26–June 6, 2015
Over a four-year period beginning in 1995, photographer Craig J. Barber, ex-combat Marine, returned to Vietnam to traverse many of his former military routes, making images with an 8x10-inch pinhole camera. In part a cathartic exercise, and a need to satisfy his curiosity about what had become of this once war-torn country, Barber created a series of 46 diptych and triptych panorama platinum images that capture the serene beauty of the country and, at times for him, the all-too-memorable landscapes. The tonality of the platinum process produces images with stunningly rich blacks and a full spectrum of delicately nuanced shades of gray.
The images Barber has captured are not documentary images. The minutes-long exposure required to record pinhole images produce blurring in anything that was in motion during the exposure. This sense of movement contributes to both a sense of mystery and a dreamlike, introspective quality. One critic wrote: "The blur in the images, here seen in diptychs or triptychs as when the soldier Barber was looking to left and right -- for a movement, a muzzle flash -- now takes on a new meaning in the civilian Barber's eyes...[and] completely capture the haunting power of wartime memory and trauma." Yet these images do convey beauty and peace. As we take note this spring of the 40th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War, the audience may find comfort, as does Craig Barber, in seeing Vietnam in a different light.

John Mendelsohn: The Passing Paintings
December 2, 2014 - February 27, 2015
New York-based artist John Mendelsohn is best known for his remarkable work with color and pattern. This exhibition features 48 paintings from Passing, a cycle of paintings created by the artist during a 12-month period from 2010 to 2011. The cycle is comprised of five series of paintings -- titled Turbulence, Crosswalk, Vanishing, Flayed, and Paradise -- and while each series has its own character, each is also involved in states of change. The artist has written about these works that "Instability and dissolution appear in many forms; absence and presence are in continual dialogue. The paint itself is treated physically: combed, marbleized, wiped off, and scraped away. As the paintings break down, they open up, revealing the surface and space beyond." The entire Passing cycle may be viewed online here. Mendelsohn's work in the Walsh Gallery will be complemented by seven more of his works, including a selection from the Six Movements series, which are on view in the lobby of the Quick Center for the Arts, adjacent to the gallery.
Not Ready to Make Nice: The Guerrilla Girls in the Artworld and Beyond
September 4 - November 14, 2014
Not Ready to Make Nice, a major presentation of the Guerrilla Girls, illuminates and contextualizes the important historical and ongoing work of these highly original, provocative, and influential artists who champion feminism and social change. The Guerrilla Girls have been powerfully and consistently active since first breaking onto the art scene in 1985. Appearing only in gorilla masks and assuming the names of dead women artists, the activist group has remained anonymous for nearly three decades while revealing shocking truths about sexism and prejudice in the art world and beyond. Beginning with their courageous poster campaigns of the 1980s and continuing with large-scale international projects, they brilliantly take on the art establishment in a way that has never been seen before or since. Using "facts, humor, and fake fur," they have exposed the discriminatory collecting and exhibiting practices of the most feared art dealers, curators, and collectors. Expanding their work to include non-visual arts media in the 1990s, the Guerrilla Girls have taken on everything from the discrimination of women film directors to the environmental crisis. Focusing primarily on recent work from the past decade, this exhibition features rarely-shown international projects that trace the collective's artistic and activist influence around the globe. In addition, a selection of iconic work from the 80s and 90s illustrates the formative development of the group's philosophy and conceptual approach to arts activism. Documentary material, including ephemera, behind-the-scenes photos, and secret anecdotes, reveal the Guerrilla Girls' process and the events that drive their incisive institutional interventions. Visitors can peruse the artists' favorite "love letters and hate mail," and are invited to contribute their own voices to interactive installations. This multimedia, expansive exhibition illustrates that the work of the anonymous, feminist-activist Guerrilla Girls is as vital and revolutionary as ever.
Not Ready to Make Nice was curated by Neysa Page-Lieberman and organized by Columbia College Chicago. To learn more about this traveling exhibition and to order a catalogue visit colum.edu/guerrillagirls.

Jason Peters: Refraction
April 24 - June 27, 2014
Fascinated by the destabilization of perception, Jason Peters creates illusory spaces and alternative realities through his work. Intentionally designed to trigger a cathartic sense of the sublime in his viewers, the artist amasses vast quantities of discarded objects from everyday life that he then reconfigures in surprisingly unexpected ways. The results lift these "societal casts-offs" — including contractor's buckets, fluorescent lighting tubes, and metal chair frames — beyond the bounds of ordinary physical existence. In doing so, Peters invites the viewer to see beauty where before there was refuse, to experience flux where before there was stasis, and to experience a focused calm where before there was alarm. In this exhibition, the artist will create several site-specific installations, one of which will respond directly to works on view in La Ragnatela: The Spiderweb Works by Giampaolo Seguso from the Corning Museum of Glass (on view at the Bellarmine Museum of Art, April 10 – June 13, 2014).
Reflections and Undercurrents: Ernest Roth and Printmaking in Venice, 1900-1940
January 23 - April 4, 2014
Reflections & Undercurrents features prints by the German-born American painter and etcher Ernest Roth (1879-1964) and his contemporaries, including John Taylor Arms (1887-1953) and Joseph Pennell (1860-1926), exploring the connections between the art they made in early 20th-century Venice. The exhibition includes over ninety works and embraces a range of media, including etchings, drawings, sketchbooks, and photographs as well as Roth's original print making tools. Organized by Dr. Eric Denker (Senior Lecturer, National Gallery of Art) and Dr. Philip Earenfight (Director, Trout Gallery, Dickinson College), this show complements In the Wake of the Butterfly: Whistler and His Circle in Venice, on view concurrently at the Bellarmine Museum of Art.
To more fully experience this exhibition, you are invited to download a PDF here. In it you will find an interactive map, which will allow you to explore the prints highlighted in these shows and to see images of what locations caputred in these works look like today. You can also listen to audio tours and watch a short video, featuring Dr. Eric Denker discussing a selection of objects featured in Reflections & Undercurrents.

How much to increase HP on 8V71
September 23, 2010, 12:11:22 AM »
So I got everything ready to and head out, just to find that I could hardly make it up the hill near my home. I've seen some places (here included) about new injectors increasing HP just havn't seen a price tag attached. What kind of injectors would you go for and what would be the cost for them plus installation?
Without a stronger engine we just cant keep it.

Seems like an 8V71 should have more power than that. Might benefit from getting the rack run by a good 2-stroke mechanic. Huntsville isn't far from Chattanooga. Bring it up here to the Choo Choo Express garage. Joel is very talented with 2-stroke Detroits and at $55/hour, the hourly shop rate is half that of the big DD shops. While tuning it up they could also make other recommendations for increased performance.

When a 8v71 acts that way first thing to check is the engine shut down they have a habit of sticking and don't have power but it will start and run fine
good luck

Well the rest of the story is I was pulling a Dodge 2500 diesel which weighs in around 6500lbs. I was barely crawling (20-25 mph) in sencond gear and didnt think i was going to make it to the top, so once we did, we unhooked and drove the two vehilces back home
When I climb the hill without a tow vehicle it is slow but average 30-35mph On flat its fine with easy 60-65 mph.
Has anyone put new injectors in theirs?
I was hoping I wouldn't have to buy a different tow vehicle and it would still have to weigh about 4500lbs because I have a family of five

20-25 is realistic with a good running NA 8V71. That's just they way the cookie crumbles at altitude with a non-turbo motor.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I am planning on turboing my 8V71 over the winter and that will make the mountains more beareable but I'll still be doing 30-35 up those hills. If you want to run up the hills you're gonna need a series 60 or a Cummins ISM or a big Cat to accomplish that. if I lived in the mountains i would not own a bus without a 4 stroke turbocharged motor.
A non turbo motor loses 4% of it's power every 1000 ft above sea level you climb.
That means at Eisenhower pass 11,100 ft you or I are at around 130-150 hp. Kinda tough moving 32k lbs up a hill in a hurry.
Bigger injectors, having the rack run, installing a turbo and checking the earlier post's for HP robbing issues will help but 20-25 is the norm for our buses. My motor runs great and I was in 1rst gear at 19 mph up a pass in Montana this summer.
I feel your pain.
I will drive my Detroit hard... I will drive my Detroit hard.

When we have to climb long grades, I just punch 'er down to a lower gear, throttle to the floor at the governor and get to the top and enjoy the ride. With the 8v71 it's not the quickest, but it will get you there.
The speeds you mentioned sound about right, you just have to adjust your thinking. You are not driving a sports car, it's a heavy pile of metal and fabric.
Of course pulling an additional 6500 lbs add to the mix.
We don't climb that many hills so it's of no concern to me. It's not how fast you get to the top, it's that you do.
If you want more power you can spend the bucks and also add a bunch of heat.
If your shutdown is sticking, you will be blowing lots of black smoke. I do know how that works, it has happened to us. Only in our case the flapper was completely closed. If you listen to Clifford's adivce, you will learn from the best!
Like Mike suggested, have a good two stroke guy run the rack then see how she runs. Doing that first may be the ticket. Then determine from there what to do.

You might need a different mindset.
Your total rig is probably in excess of 40,000 pounds. It ain't gonna move like a car or your truck.
If you want it to move like a car or your truck, you're gonna have to get the HP to weight ratio the same - which ain't gonna happen with an 8V71 (well not for very long anyways.
Tuning your engine is a good idea, but it isn't likely to increase your power enough to take hills at the posted speed limit.
Having the power to flatten hills is usually very expensive & requires a re power -The cost is very subjective & depends on everything.
I got a quote for having my transmission changed to an automatic - over $10,000 in parts alone.
I've seen here where someone spent over $30,000 to add a turbo to his 8V71 in a GM transit bus. & he still doesn't have the power to do a speed limit ride up all hills.
My suggestion:
Have the engine looked over by a good 2-stroke mechanic & follow his recommendations.
Get a comfortable driver's seat & good mirrors.
Now, you can sit back & really enjoy the ride while watching the scenery.
Of course I talk to myself.
Sometimes, even I need expert advice :^)

"Without a stronger engine we just cant keep it."
That's not true. What you're describing is perfectly normal for a stock, non-turbo, 8V71 in an MC-9.
Have you weighed your rig, completely ready to roll with the toad attached? Until you know what weight you're dealing with, all else is pure speculation.
So let's speculate!
As an example, we'll use my 2007 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Long Bed pick-up. It has the 4.0L V6, which puts out 236 hp. My truck weighs 5644 with a full tank of fuel and me in it. That works out to 23.91 lbs per hp. I'm not sure what a revenue-service (seated) MC-9 with a full tank of fuel and driver weighs, but IIRC, the GVW of the coach is 36,600, so I'll use that. Based on the stock 275 hp 8V71, that works out to 133.09 lbs/hp.
Using the above guesstimates, you'd need a 1,500 hp engine in the back of your bus to equal the performance of my "non-hot-rod" Tacoma.
I can also tell you,
from experience
, that on the 250 mile run from Fresno to Disneyland, over the 6% Grapevine on I-5, the difference in travel time between a stock 275 hp 8V71-powered MC-9 and a stock, 400 hp 8V92TA-powered MCI 102A3 is all of five minutes. That's right, only five minutes. Oh, and for the round trip of 500 miles, the faster bus burned an additional 25 gallons of fuel. That's $75 to save 10 minutes.
Crawl in the engine compartment and take off a valve cover. On the side of the injectors, you'll see a round medallion that will have a letter-number combination on it. My guess is N-60, which is stock. For best results, when you go to larger injectors, you need to advance the timing. To do so requires pulling the engine to get to the camshaft gears on the transmission end. Do you want to go to all the time and expense involved so you can go up the hill at 30 mph rather than 25?
I've said it before: These buses, which give us so much enjoyment in RV configuration, are, and will continue to be, the Tortoise of Aesop's Fable fame.
Understanding that will give you years of enjoyment. Thinking it's the Hare will bring you nothing but frustration.

An MC9 conversion pulling a 6500 pound truck? Even doubling the power to 600 HP your still going to go slow up a hill. Unless you have more gears. Guess it depends how fat your wallet is,and how fast you want to go up a hill. More power, more heat, more loading on critical driveline components. From reading it appears the 9's are about borderline for cooling in a stock configuration to begin with. More power exceeds the design of all the systems. More power can exceed the design of the transmission, driveshaft, ring and pinion, and the axle shafts. Its a vicous circle. But at least you made it up the hill. I have a hill I dont know I can climb with the Bus I want to buy.
Now insert scene of people throwing luggage and gear out the door of an airplane that just lost an engine and is losing altitude, while the pilot is dumping fuel.... There is no free lunch. You either have to lose weight, increase power, or a little of both.

I agree with getting a tune up before going to the expense of different injectors. After the tune up on the 8V71NA engine in the GM4106 we had you wouldn't have thought it was the same engine. A tune up will be a small investment compared to different injectors. I also agree that you may have to change your expectations. If you have never driven a bus, or other large vehicle before, you probably did not know how your bus would perform. Try to look at the situation from the perspective of how few minutes you would save going up that hill compared to the cost of changing injectors or getting a lighter tow vehicle, if cost is a consideration.
Good luck, Sam MC8

I run or ran I 65 Thur your area several times a year..with the MCI 8 /8v71 pulling a jeep lots of the hills pulled me down to 50 to 55 didn't know Alabama was so hilly..I found out I ran the hills about as fast as a loaded semi in the truck lane..Mount Eagle was a 35mph climb..Now with the 8v92 in the 89 prevost it drops about 5 to seven mph in the hills on 65 pulling a Chev hhr....fuel went from 6.8 mpg to 5mpg...now doing 60 series and Eaton 10Sp auto shift;hoping for lots of improvement...get it checked out.and maybe look at a mini van or hhr to pull.really don't think family will mind a little extra time on the trip.I kept rpm 1800 and above when climbing hills..torque curve peaks about there. Does it blow black smoke when climbing?

If there is no black smoke at full load and near max rpm, change the fuel filters.
If you have black smoke make sure your intake is clear all the way to the engine. Air filters clean, no bird nests, mouse nests, ect.
If the intake is clear and you are keeping the rpms up and blowing some black smoke, bigger injectors probably won't help but a tuneup might.
Good luck

It was just very disappointing. I just finished the conversion and now this. I am going to change the fuel filter and hope that helps. The PO hadn't ran it for four years while he did some of the work but it is a new engine so it may be dirty fuel and has been stired up since me putting more in. The grade I was climbing was no 6%, it was montesano mountain if any of you all have come through Huntsville.
I am used to pulling 5th wheels so at 20k lbs I'm at half but still at that weight I could pull pretty dang fast.
After I unhooked it it did seem to run the slower than the first time I drove it while coming home.

The cheapest thing you can do is get an experienced busnut to take your coach for a drive and see what comes of that.
Why spend money and end up with the same results?

Any busnuts live near Huntsville
I wish I had a tach. I have no idea what my rpm's are.
I don't think I have seen any smoke lately. I used to when I first got it and was getting to reading my rpm by the color of the smoke lol
It upshifts nicely but I have to manually down shift or any sligt grade as it won't do it itself without bogging down.
The more I read and your comment is getting me excited to change the filter. That is after I take out trip to new England for two weeks in our dodge that we were originally going to do in the coach

I just swapped injectors on my 8V71. The replacement engine had N55 (I never ran the bus with these injectors) and I installed N65's and changed the cams to "A timing". I have to admit, the injectors where nothing to change compared to the cam timing! Now for cost: rebuilt injectors from the DD dealer were $75 each, but the labor to pull the engine and tranny, remove flywheel, back engine cover and then change the timing will set you back 2 or $3k. It's a big job on a big engine! I did the work myself, made a few mistakes, but corrected them. I had that back cover off three times and the flywheel off twice!!!
Could I feel the difference in my 4106 from the tired, smoking, N60 STD timed, 2100 rpm engine compared to the fresh, non-smoking, N65 A timed, 2450 rpm engine? OH Yeah! I'm now able to take hills in 3rd gear at 50 that I was previously using 2nd gear at 35 on the governor. Fuel mileage went from 10.8 mpg to 8.2, but appears to be getting better now that I'm not drunk with HP and attacking every hill I see at 75! It's getting around 9 mpg at 70mph.
Hope this helps!

Stolaas, do you have any idea what injector is in the engine,you have a engine that will give you a little over 300 hp tops without spending tons of cash to get more then you will have the heat to deal with just have the old 871 tuned up and it will serve you well not a race horse but it will bring you home.
The A timing on a 8v71 in a bus is a waste of time that was designed for trucks it is not going to help you with a automatic or a 4 speed transmission in a bus only gives you more black smoke and less MPG
good luck

take the coach???
"I wish I had a tach. I have no idea what my rpm's are."
You don't need a tach, all you need is a working speedometer. Take your coach out on a local straight back road. From rest, start in low gear, wind it to the governor, and hold the speed for a few seconds while you make a mental note. Stop & write it down. Do the same for 2nd & 3rd. Armed with this info, plus some white out, white nail polish or similar, put a drop on the speedometer face that corresponds to the top speed in each of the lower gears. Now that you know your shift points, read the following, especially near the bottom:
If you're speedometer's not working and you're using a GPS to monitor your speed, just put something on the dash with the shift points for reference. By shifting the automatic manually, you'll find that it's a much more pleasing ride. (No need to manually start out in first - that's the stump puller. Manually starting in second is fine with the 740.)
"The more I read and your comment is getting me excited to change the filter."
Changing the fuel filters is about a 15 - 20 minute job, easily done before you take the coach out to check the various shift points as suggested above. Just make sure you fill the new filters with clean diesel before reinstalling. Also, do one at a time so you don't lose prime.
As Clifford said, the 8V71 will serve you well. Thousands of Greyhounds and others used this engine for over 20 years in revenue service, 99% of which were probably set up the same way as your coach.

When I first bought my transit, I had the rear end ratio changed from 5.57 to 4.56 and the injectors changed from N55 to brown tag N65's. Decent performance at sea level, but unacceptable black smoke and lack of power above 5,000ft (go to Mammoth at 8,300ft). I then decided to turbo my 8V-71.
I first had a custom air to air intercooler made (I have about 8 inches between my radiator and edge of bus), had Don Fairchild install the turbo, and hook it up, increase the injectors to 9G75's (300hp to 375hp, 800lb/ft torque to 1125lb/ft torque), bypass valve kit on the blower, fuel modulator (to prevent the injectors from opening up before turbo boost-cuts down on black smoke). Then ultimately enlarged the radiator, air cleaner, muffler. Installed an auxiliary transmission cooler, cut additional vents into the back engine door, and installed 15 misters on the radiator (no room for a bigger radiator, and have the biggest core installed). Cost- $11,000.00. Worth it, no more smoke at altitude, nor loss of power at altitude either. The fuel mileage is the same, but performance is drastically different. It is a pleasure to drive-now don't have bad thoughts of getting stuck with the extra power. Good Luck, TomC

You have some great advice from those that know! Take some time to re-read these posts, make a plan for how you want to tackle it and go for it.
mention about that article is one to memorize and not forget!
Stop and smell the roses and head for the hills! That ole pile of metal will serve you well!
I love my ole 8V71N, it has been good to me. It has never let me down and I'm not in a hurry to get somewhere anyway, I just know I'll get there. I have never had a heating issue either. Keep the ole gal wound up and she will treat you right!

The more I read and your comment is getting me excited to change the filter.
Changing the fuel filter will do little, if anything, if your filter was that bad you'd notice it on the flat. The 8V71N suck in hill country, if you're living in the flatlands they're fine or if you don't mind going up a hill at 25 to 30 MPH for 1/2 hr, with the motor screaming, it will work for you.
When I bought my bus (seated in Cal) I drove it to BC and had two major passes to go over and thats the speed I was going. Worse yet, there's 3 roads out of the town I live in that are 6% grade, so I'd be crawling every time I left town, I couldn't live if the 8V71.
I took out the 8V71N (sold it) and installed a 500hp 8V92TA (used with 50K on it) with a 6 speed manual and never regretted it. I also pull a diesel PU about the same weight as yours .... and I never drop below 55 MPH on a 6% to 7% grade. If I did it again ... I think I'd put in a ISM 450 HP with a 10sp autoshift.

I would love to have the 8v92 in mine!!!
But I can't work on the bus engine in any magnitude (live in a community) so it would be all at a garage and I don't think I can afford that.

I have been up and down the hill of which you speak. I would say your bus is running fine but it would still be good to get another bus nut to go ride with you. And change the filters just because it has been a long time. The first trip of any length I took involved Monteagle mountain. I thought I burnt my breaks up but it was just some old grease that was on the outside of the drums. That is part of the pucker factor involved with making friends with a new bus.

Yea it just really shocked me. I would normally drive up that hill at about those speeds with the 5th wheel but i always had power to spare. Just didn't feel right having to have it on the floor with no power reserve on such a small hill.
Charles, if you have Been on mountesano (hwy 431) then you may of gone up the 6% grade at the south end of guntersville not looking forward to that one. I think I could get out and walk up it fast haha

The % of the grade is only part of the equation. The other part is the length of the incline. We have one close to me that is a 7% but it is short. Right after it is one that is not steep enough to be labled but it is loooong and will cause more trouble.

It was a 2 day swap for me .... and the 8V92 cost me around 2500 after I sold the good running 8V71 (a charter company bought it) .. so it wasn't that bad, but I don't have a MCI, so I did'n't have any cooling issues to add costs.

With all due respect, Stolaas can change the injectors and change the cam timing, and it will increase the horsepower of the engine which will improve the performance of his bus. "What kind of injectors would you go for and what would be the cost for them plus installation?" After all, he did ask the question!
I did all of the above. And there was a very noticeable and tangible improvement in the performance of my bus.

Huntsville scored two runs in the seventh on a throwing error by Mississippi Braves pitcher Mark Lamm after a bunt single to win 6-5 and finish off the sweep of a Sunday doubleheader.
Lamm (0-2) faced two batters, allowing two hits, to get the loss.
Centerfielder Todd Cunningham had two hits and first baseman Ian Gac had a 2-run homer in the third inning (his fifth of the season) for the M-Braves (24-33). The Stars improved to 32-25 after winning their third straight against the M-Braves.
In Sunday's first game, Huntsville pitcher Evan Anundsen went the whole seven innings and allowed just two hits in a 4-0 victory.
A single by Cunningham in the second inning and a single by Greg Paiml in the fifth were the only two hits the M-Braves could muster. Gary Moran (1-4) pitched six innings and got the loss.
The teams will play again today at 6:43 p.m.

So we know the iPhone has been slumming it and selling itself on Walmart shelves in the US for a while now, but it's retained a somewhat more dignified cachet over here in Europe. Until today, that is. Just "in time for Christmas," British retailer Tesco will make it possible for you to buy your socks, no-frills groceries, and shiny smartphone all in the same place. You'll still be riding O2's network, thanks to the Tesco Mobile service, but the department store chain is likely to price its contracts more aggressively, as it already has a £30 per month plan that includes unlimited calls, texts, and web surfing. Maybe there's something to this whole "competition" thing after all then, eh?

He Cheated...Now What?
He Cheated...Now What?
He Cheated...Now What?
You caught your significant other cheating. Now what? Dump the two-timing liar, right? While that may seem like the obvious response, life isn't always that black and white. Maybe you just bought a house together or have kids involved. Maybe you realize it's the fifth time someone is cheating on you and you're thinking that you may be doing something wrong. After cheating has occurred, when do you stay and when do you go?
Dr. Rita DeMaria, of the Council for Relationships, sees patients with exactly those kinds of questions all the time. According to her, most people never intended to cheat. "People think they are going to be able to be faithful but they start to grow apart or one person doesn't want to get involved with the romantic aspects and the other person starts to become very frustrated. The more unaware someone is of how unhappy they are, the more dangerous it is." People often vent their frustrations to others around them, and often times that connection with someone will turn into cheating. Consider that about 90% of affairs for men and 60% of affairs for women take place at work and this becomes even more apparent. Cheating often signifies other problems in the relationship, and in some cases the issues can be resolved.
When to stay: Of course, you need to consider practical matters. If you are married and have a life together, it is obviously more difficult to walk away from the situation. The most important factor, however, is willingness from your partner to stop cheating and work things out. If both parties are willing to try, she suggests seeking professional help and getting ready to be very open with communication. "The person who's been betrayed always wants to know certain things…[often you say to yourself] 'How could I have missed it? I had no idea' so it causes a time warp and people need to put the pieces back to make sense of their life." Once the couple has worked through the cheating, it's a matter of keeping things honest and not letting the old communication problems pop up again. "Keep communication open, keep romance alive, and make sure that you keep your own sexual energy and interests healthy."
When you need to walk away: "When one person is having an affair they won't stop, the other person gets kind of crazy in their behavior. Often they lose weight, they're very suspicious, they can't sleep, and it really begins to take a toll on them," says Dr. DeMaria. If that sounds like you, it's time to let it go. Chronic cheaters rarely ever change their ways, even if there's a family involved. Dr. DeMaria suggests getting support from family, friends, and community groups to heal from infidelity and work to maintain healthy relationships in the future. She also suggests visiting www.beyondaffairs.com and hooking up with a support group in your area if you are having an especially difficult time. If you find that you are going back to men who cheat on you, or are constantly in these types of relationships, seeking professional help is a good idea. "It usually has to do with what your expectations are of men and what your relationship history is," she explains. "I usually have people do a little family background checking when they come in to see me because it's very common that if there are patterns of infidelity in your life they've been in your parent's, grandparent's, [or other family member's] lives."

hello, rookie here
Hey, I just joined. I have been programming since I was 7 years old, so about 20 years now. I have some great ideas for some PS3 games, but am using this to try to see if there's a full leak out there, and for pointers and help with the system before actually attempting to apply and buy the full SDK from Sony. I am great when it comes to actual coding, but horrible when it comes to graphics. So if anyone out there has some graphics experience and wants to hook up feel free to hit me up.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (6/29/13) – An anime festival based in Paducah since its inception in 2006 will move to Owensboro for its June 2014 and June 2015 convention weekends, the convention's committee and convention center officials said at a public announcement this morning.
At a gathering in Smothers Park, OMG! Con Co-founder Daniel Dodd said the committee is very excited about holding the event in Owensboro, and others on the committee said the move from Paducah while difficult, was the right decision for the convention to grow.
Dodd said the event is run completely by fans as a non-profit venture, and has attracted approximately 1,600 fans from at least 30 different states.
Several city officials and Sean Dysinger of the local Convention and Visitors Bureau also attended to express their support for the anime convention.
The Owensboro Convention Center, with backing from the city and the CVB, approached the Tri-State Anime Promotional Society who organizes the convention about moving their event to Owensboro.
"The deciding factor was the location," Dodd told SurfKY News following the announcement, noting that TAPS had looked at several other venues as possible places to move the event to.
The event will be held on Father's Day weekend both of the next two years, June 13 through June 15, 2014, and June 12 through June 14, 2015.

Dave Kallmann offers news, notes and perspective on the wide world of auto racing
A.J. Foyt weighs in on another Indy race
A traditionalist in the most . . . uh . . . traditional sense of the word, A.J. Foyt was surprisingly moderate on the idea of an IndyCar race on the infield road course at at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The most likely possibility now seems to have it before the Indianapolis 500, sort of a kickoff to a Month May -- capital letters, and all -- that has shrunk by weeks in recent years.
"In my own opinion, I would hate to see that because Indianapolis 500 has been like the Kentucky Derby," Foyt, the first of three four-time 500 winners said on a conference call this week. "It's a legend race, and I think it would take a little bit from the 500.
"Now after the 500, mid-year, something like that, that would probably be fine. But I'd hate to see it interfere with the Indy 500 maybe a week or two before it opens. I don't think it's a good deal, and that's my personal opinion. I know a lot of people probably think it would be good, but I don't think you'd have that many people there. I just think it would take away something from the Indy 500."
A schedule announcement should come within the next few weeks.

European Stocks Advance as U.S. Adds More Jobs Than Estimated
European stocks gained for a third day, posting a second weekly gain, as a report showed the U.S. economy added more jobs than economists had estimated.
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Daimler AG led gains in European carmakers, climbing more than 1 percent. Rio Tinto Group and Xstrata Plc advanced with metal prices.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index added 0.8 percent to 231.99 at the 4:30 p.m. close in London. The benchmark measure posted a weekly rally of 2.6 percent amid speculation policy makers will agree to shield banks from the crisis and as the Bank of England expanded its bond-purchase program. The gauge has still retreated 20 percent since this year's high on Feb. 17 and is trading at 9.8 times its companies' estimated earnings, near the lowest since March 2009.
"U.S. payrolls are a very positive surprise," said Matthias Jasper, head of equities at WGZ Bank AG in Dusseldorf. "The market has been oversold in the last few weeks and we have a combination of tailwinds from the European Central Bank's comments yesterday to the payrolls today, which are the big cherry on the cake. A recession is getting more and more unlikely."
European stocks gained as a U.S. report showed employers added more jobs than forecast in September and revised up hiring in the previous two months. The release also showed hours and earnings increased, helping ease concerns the U.S. labor market is deteriorating.
U.S. Payrolls, Unemployment
Payrolls climbed by 103,000 workers after a revised 57,000 increase in August that was more than originally estimated, Labor Department data showed. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey called for an increase of 60,000. The gain reflected the return to work of 45,000 telecommunications employees. The jobless rate held at 9.1 percent.
The ECB said yesterday it will reintroduce yearlong loans, giving banks access to unlimited cash through January 2013. The central bank will also resume purchases of covered bonds to encourage lending. At the same time, the European Commission is pushing for a coordinated capital injection into banks and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said policy makers "shouldn't hesitate" if it turns out financial institutions are undercapitalized.
National benchmark indexes climbed in 12 of the 18 western-European markets. Germany's DAX Index climbed 0.5 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index gained 0.2 percent. France's CAC 40 Index increased 0.7 percent.
Carmakers Advance
BMW and Daimler, the world's biggest makers of luxury cars, jumped 4.1 percent to 50.89 euros and 1.3 percent to 33.98 euros, respectively. Carmakers posted the second-largest performance in the Stoxx 600, gaining 1.7 percent.
Continental AG surged 4.9 percent to 46.91 euros as the world's fourth-largest tiremaker plans to spend more than $500 million to build a new tire factory at Sumter, South Carolina, to meet increasing demand.
Rio Tinto, the world's second-largest mining company, rose 1.2 percent to 3,164 pence, while Xstrata Plc climbed 2.7 percent to 910 pence. Copper, lead, tin and zinc all rose on the London Metal Exchange.
Total SA, Europe's third-largest oil producer, rose 2.9 percent to 35.33 euros as crude oil increased for a third day in New York.
JCDecaux SA rose 2.5 percent to 18.92 euros as the French outdoor-advertising company may exceed its third-quarter forecast for organic revenue growth, Kepler said after meeting with the company.
RBS, Lloyds Decline
RBS and Lloyds Banking Group Plc slid 3 percent to 23.62 pence and 3.4 percent to 34.66 pence, respectively. Moody's cut the senior debt and deposit ratings of 12 U.K. financial institutions as the likelihood of government support in a crisis lessens.
Lloyds TSB Bank Plc and Co-Operative Bank Plc had their ratings lowered one step by Moody's, while RBS Plc and Nationwide Building Society were cut two levels.
Veolia Environnement SA dropped 1.7 percent to 10.72 euros after the world's biggest water company was downgraded to "sell" from "neutral" at UBS AG, which said the longer term consensus is "overly optimistic."
Holcim Ltd. declined 5 percent to 51.55 Swiss francs in Zurich trading after the cement maker said Thomas Schmidheiny's Schweizerische Cement-Industrie AG raised its stake in Holcim to more than 20 percent. The shares had rallied 11 percent over the previous four days.
Premier Foods Plc slumped 42 percent to 5.8 pence, the lowest price and the largest drop since its 2004 initial public offering. The U.K.'s biggest food manufacturer said third-quarter sales fell "significantly below" management's forecasts, dropping 3.6 percent to 477 million pounds ($745 million). The maker of Branston pickle also said full-year profit will miss analysts' estimates.

Changing Corporate America from Inside Out: Lesbian and Gay Workplace Rights
Despite the backlash against lesbian and gay rights occurring in cities and states across the country, a growing number of corporations are actually expanding protections and benefits for their gay and lesbian employees. Why this should be, and why some corporations are increasingly open to inclusive policies while others are determinedly not, is what Nicole C. Raeburn seeks to explain in Changing Corporate America from Inside Out.
A long-overdue study of the workplace movement, Raeburn s analysis focuses on the mobilization of lesbian, gay, and bisexual employee networks over the past fifteen years to win domestic partner benefits in Fortune 1000 companies. Drawing on surveys of nearly one hundred corporations with and without gay networks, intensive interviews with human resources executives and gay employee activists, as well as a number of case studies, Raeburn reveals the impact of the larger social and political environment on corporations openness to gay-inclusive policies, the effects of industry and corporate characteristics on companies willingness to adopt such policies, and what strategies have been most effective in transforming corporate policies and practices to support equitable benefits for all workers.

What are Paczki?
By Sandy Mitchell, About.com Guide
(© B. Klumpp/istockphoto)
What are Paczki?:
Note: the word "paczki" is the plural of "paczek" in Polish (literally "parcel" or "package"). In America, however, the singular form is very rarely used. You'll even hear non-Polish speakers say "paczkis." That's not correct.
History of Paczki:
Paczki Day in Cleveland:
In Poland, Paczki Day, the day when all of the last paczki are consumed is the Thursday before Ash Wednesday. In Cleveland and the rest of the Midwest, Paczki Day is celebrated on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.
Making Paczki:
Buying Paczki in Cleveland:
In Cleveland, the bakeries and markets of Slavic Village
all make paczki, beginning about three to four weeks prior to Lent. If
you're interested in a quantity of paczki, especially on Paczki Day,
it's wise to order in advance. Seven Roses Deli and and Europa Market
are both good sources of paczki in Cleveland.
In southwest Ohio, they sell them in all of the grocery stores.

I saw the picture of the starving dog that had no water, no food, and no straw and this is not the first time in Tuscarawas County that this has gone on. No one in this town who has the authority ever follows through with an investigation of these people who treat their "supposed" companion animals like this. I know that I am not the only person who feels this way and enough is enough.
Humane officers or the dog warden need to prosecute these people like the authorities in Cleveland and like other areas do. Judges do your job. Stop this abuse.
I think it's time to call the television news and let them air the pictures of the inhumane treatment that the people in this town get away with.
I am sick of how animal abuse is not treated like it should be.

Most of the street is an open-air pedestrian mall, in the heart of Downtown, forming a triangle with King George Street and Jaffa Street. It is known locally as the Midrachov, a term concocted from two Hebrew words: midracha (sidewalk) and rechov (street). The street is named after the brilliant linguist Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, who in the late 19th century almost single-handedly revived Hebrew as a modern spoken language; he would have liked the clever new word. Cafés have tables out on the cobblestones; vendors display cheap, arty items like funky jewelry and prints; and buskers are usually around in good weather, playing tunes old and new. It's a great place to sip coffee or munch falafel and watch the passing crowd; on Saturday and Jewish holidays, however, only a few restaurants and convenience stores are open but nothing else.

Coping conundrums
I found out through blood work and ultrasounds this week that I am not responding to my fertility meds
I am pretty heartbroken, frustrated, and angry. And still slightly hopeful. I go back to the doctor on Sunday morning to see if my eggs are just late bloomers.
The cycle of hope and disappointment is exhausting. It's what made me put my fertility journey on pause last year.
The only thing that let me forget about my problems was my running.
Oh gosh, this headband is too accurate...
I promised myself I wouldn't turn to running again. I've put mileage and racing on the backburner for awhile.
But, I'd be lying if I told you my internet browser didn't take me here a few times each week.
It's so, so tempting to throw myself into racing again and ignore my fertility struggles. Although I know ignoring a problem will never make it go away.
I'm kind of at a loss for healthy ways to cope.
Doing more yoga has been has been quite awesome, but so far the only benefits I've gained are physical and not mental.
Spending time with my local friends and talking to my far away friends often has been an awesome distraction (and my BFF is coming to visit me next weekend, yay ). But I don't want to distract myself too much because I don't think distraction equals coping. It's such a conundrum.
So I've turned to cupcakes. I have had so many cupcakes recently, it's quite embarrassing. And I'm not even sure it's the taste of the cupcake I enjoy so much. I just really enjoy picking it out and admiring the little ball of beauty. Don't worry, I definitely eat it too…
How do you cope? I could really use some advice. Healthy suggestions only please; I don't think taking up drinking will help my fertility
Have you looked into joining infertility support groups online? I have no idea what these are like but maybe it would feel good to air out your frustrations with people who can directly relate.
I think Caitlin has a great idea. I bet you could even have your doctor recommend some infertility support groups in your area if you wanted to meet with them in person. Also, maybe finding another activity that makes you feel fulfilled in a personal way (volunteering in your community? weekly meeting with a special friend?) will help take some of the strain off?
Finally, I'm not sure if you journal, but putting pen to paper and actually writing down your frustrations, fears and concerns could be helpful. You could be completely candid because it would be totally private. Good luck, and hang in there!
Hi hun,
Ok so here is my take:
a) I'm with caitlin, I think the right fertility support join/board can provide immeasurable amounts of information and reassurance that you aren't alone and that it isn't the end. In the UK a favourite phrase is 'you may have won the battle but you haven't won the war' – ie there is still hope, it is just a step on your journey.
b) I like a project. Something to focus on and get my teeth stuck into. How about volunteering for something like GOTR? So you can run and share your passion for it but not get into mileage issues.
c) for me sometimes coping isn't being ok, it's being ok with not being ok. It is allowing myself to be frustrated, upset, annoyed but still making myself look out to the future. Looking back is only useful when it is figuring out how it can help you not repeat the same 'mistakes'.
d) I really really really think some reflexology and/or accupuncture would be good for you and be something productive toward your next cycle.
Finally remember that you have so much more knowledge this time around because you've been monitored through the cycle. You are edging forward, you just aren't quite at the finish line. You will be, just not yet. Lots of love and hugs and sprinkles of baby dust.
Princess Peach x
I'm in for cupcakes and yoga anytime (well, assuming my neck isn't in a SPASM!), just let me know! Hang in there, you are doing an amazing job coping! I'm here for you if you need me!!
OMG that cupcake looks AMAZING!
I'm sorry I am no help. I have no idea what it feels like to go through what you are going through.
I think you are doing great, and Disney vacations are ALWAYS a good distraction
My way of coping with cancelled cycles involves distractions…I have a "baby bucket list" that I turn to when I get a crappy cycle. It involves goals and silly things that you can't do when you're pregnant like "get a new tattoo", "whiten teeth" or "take a new class". (After my cancelled cycle in December I treated myself to a cupcake class at a local bakery. LOVE.) It gets your through the few weeks before the cycle's over and you can start over again. Remember, it's not a matter of IF, but WHEN. At least now your doctor is one step closer to finding out what will work on you.
Cupcakes are a good way to cope! To be honest, I run and do yoga too but it looks like you have that covered. Watching stupid reality TV is a short-term way to forget about things too. Jersey Shore and The Bachelor are my favorites.
I'm so sorry that things aren't working out with you and the fertility meds. I'm glad you're still hopeful though – positive thinking yields positive results!
For me, coping means dealing with your feelings when you feel them. Journaling, talking to friends or a support group are all good ideas.
I agree with others' suggestions of joining a support group, or even a therapist specializing in infertility issues. There is nothing wrong with needing to talk to someone professionally.
Hi there. I am sorry to hear about the upsetting news for you. I can only imagine how frustrating it is from your stand point. I also have PCOS, but I have the kind where I am encouraged to lose weight. I have yet to begin any fertility meds, and have other friends who have and say it's pretty hard. Please hang in there (as easy as it sounds), but we are all trying to just get through this PCOS struggle. You're in my thoughts and prayers, Hon. I am new to your blog, and will be definitely reading.
Sorry to hear that yoga isn't helping mentally – though it took about 1-2 months of a solid yoga practice for it to finally "seep" into my mind. Now it's one of my favourite ways to relax/let-go. When I run, I run to THINK through my problems and when I go to yoga I go to forget about them, leave them at the door as they say at my studio.
I like the idea of taking on some sort of project like another reader said. Maybe a home reno project of some sort.
OR, maybe plan and book a mini-vacation?
Good luck with everything!
That's tough. Yoga seems like a good start. I often turn to sweets (cookies and scones for me this week) and running. As long as the running doesn't get out of control, it shouldn't be a bad thing right? Stress relief is good. Maybe some other physical fun activities like hiking or doing some kind of silly crafty project with girlfriends (going to a pottery place to paint things, seeing a movie, grabbing dinner, having a girls potluck/dessert night).
i hate leaving a comment that says "i agree," but i do – a support group or talking to someone might be really helpful and ease your mind a bit. and i also think it takes a while on the yoga – don't give up yet.
your internet friends are here for you.
p.s. LOVE the headband! i need one.
What about a craft project, like a blanket or quilt for your future baby? Optimistic, satisfying and indoors!
Gosh, this is a toughie because exercise is my greatest coping mechanism too. But one thing you could try to teach yourself is to be present in the moment, and to be ok with whatever that moment is. Usually this helps me with anxiety. Although, I know what you're experiencing is not really the same. Hang in there.
When I was going through it, I leaned heavily on reading infertility blogs and belonged to a number of online infertility support groups. I also spent a ton of time researching ways to improve our fertility naturally. To get myself out of the "all baby all the time" mental state, we traveled a lot and I did big projects on our house. And, I'll admit it, when I was in a part of the cycle where it didn't matter, there was a bit of drinking involved.
Hang in there.
I love the word conundrum, I feel like it needs to be used more often. I'm not even a sweets person and I love cupcakes!!!
Thinking positive thoughts for you for Sunday…
Hi Jen, First of all–love the new blog design it looks great! Here are some things to cope (and some may just be to distract) 1. Volunteer for the SPCA or another organization like a Soup Kitchen. Sometimes when you see others' less than ideal lives, it can give you a different perspective. 2. Journal! Write stories about this situation and any other ones you want to write about! Poems are good too. 3. Music-sing, learn an instrument, etc. 4. house stuff: take on projects around the house OR really really organize parts of your house and take loads of stuff to Goodwill! I hope this helps!! I'm thiinking about you!
I'm sorry Jen. I was really hoping for positive news. I know you're on such an emotional roller coaster right now and I hate that all I can really say is "hang in there" (which I know isn't exactly helpful). Speaking as someone who turns to desserts and running far too often for coping, I don't have a ton of wonderful advice. But if you can find some external support, like others have mentioned, that could be helpful. People who truly understand what you're going through but aren't focusing on the negative (not that you are, but I just might have heard that there are many people out there like this…). Not only could the support be helpful, but they may have found various ways to cope that have helped them through this time. And maybe there are other projects around the house that you can focus on, or trips to take/things to do that you couldn't do as easily once you have a baby (and that don't involve traveling for races! haha).
That being said, I firmly believe that it's still healthy to get your stress and frustration out through running. I'm not saying you should necessarily put all your focus into racing again, but I believe that running is a great coping mechanism. It's always helped me work out my stress, frustration, and sadness. I think I'd be an emotional wreck without it!
I don't have any good advice, but just wanted to say hang in there. I'm sorry you are dealing with all of this.
I am so sorry that you are struggling with all of this. I really wish I had something helpful to say. My thoughts are with you because I know this is such a roller coaster of emotions. While you are cutting back on exercise, maybe you could volunteer for races in your area or perhaps run with some new runners and help them as they get started. I don't know that it always works, but sometimes it helps me to put my effort into something that's helping someone else. It gives me a sense of purpose when I'm feeling really down. I hope you get the support you need and I'm thinking all good things for you!
Hey Jen – I feel bad that you're dealing with this right now, especially when it may seem (just assuming here) that people all around you are getting pregnant exactly when they want to… or completely not expecting it.
I'm about your age (maybe a year or 2 younger?), married, and have been following your blog for quite some time now. My husband and I are not ready for children yet, so I can't say that I understand what you're going through, but my heart really does ache for the situation.
Since you're seeking advice for coping with the stress, I have a suggestion… and that is to pray. Maybe this is something that you're totally uncomfortable with, or maybe you turn to God daily. Even though there are really BIG problems going on in the world right now (like in Egypt), God really does care about every stress and burden that consumes YOU.
I came across this verse earlier this morning and felt compelled to write because I feel like it applies to what's happening in your life right now:
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
So I've read through the comments and it seems like a lot of people have recommended what I would recommend… I am a huge fan of writing in a journal, and it has helped me sort through lots of different things. I've always found therapy to be very beneficial as well. In all honestly, though, having a support system/a group to talk to is one of the best things I think you can have. So I'd even recommend joining an online support group (or maybe a church group?)… even though I've never had experience with either.
Have you thought of doing acupuncture for your infertility problems? I did it weekly for several months. It is theraputic and we conceived the next month.

Originally posted on Pirates Prospects | Last updated 7/2/13
Each week we run our "Top Performers" series, looking at the best pitchers and hitters from the previous week. This year we will also be recapping each month in order to award the Pitcher and Player of the month. Below are the top Runs Created* totals in the Pittsburgh Pirates' farm system from the month of May. The rankings include every hitter who had an at-bat for a Pirates' minor league affiliate, not including DSL teams, and with no limitations on whether the hitter has prospect eligibility. Players who spent time at different levels are counted multiple times, once for each level, rather than combining their stats. *Runs Created is a stat created by Bill James used to estimate how many runs an individual contributes to his team. There are many formulas for runs created. For these purposes the basic formula is used. That formula is ((H + BB) * (1B + (2*2B) + (3*3B) + (4*HR))) / (AB + BB). Player of the Month Andrew Lambo is the Pirates Prospects Player of the Month for the month of June. Photo Credit: David Hague. Andrew Lambo has had an impressive season, and a very impressive month of June. He started off the year back in Altoona, which was the sixth year he's spent part of a season in Double-A. This time around he was crushing the ball, hitting for a .291/.351/.559 line in 220 at-bats with 14 homers. Lambo finally got promoted to Triple-A in the month of June, after going 6-for-19 with a double and two homers in five games in Altoona at the start of the month. The hitting didn't stop in Triple-A. In fact, it increased. Lambo finished the month of June at the Triple-A level, combining for a .314/.410/.700 line with seven homers in 70 at-bats. In total he had a .315/.410/.697 line with nine homers in 89 at-bats in the month of June. For that reason, Lambo is the Pirates Prospects Player of the Month for the month of June. The question now is whether Lambo can provide help in the majors this year. His at-bats are still limited, and you'd like to see more of him in Triple-A before a promotion to the majors. As I wrote last week, the Pirates are in a difficult situation with Lambo. Even if they call him up today, he won't have enough time to really establish himself in the majors and give the team an upgrade in right-field that they can be comfortable with before the trade deadline. If they're fine going with internal options, then Lambo could be an interesting replacement if Travis Snider continues to struggle, especially if Lambo keeps hitting. At any rate, what Lambo has been doing is impressive. He was eligible for the Rule 5 draft this past year, was left unprotected, and went unclaimed. Now he's a guy who needs to be added to the 40-man roster at some point this year, so that the Pirates don't lose him to minor league free agency. They could deal him before that happens if they find an upgrade for right field. Either way, the short of it is that Lambo has re-established himself as a prospect. He might not be back to 2009 levels where he was one of the top prospects in baseball, but a .297 average, .956 OPS, and 21 homers in 293 at-bats is definitely worthy of the prospect tag, and future major league considerations. The Other Candidates Josh Harrison had an impressive month for Indianapolis. In 104 at-bats he posted a .356/.385/.654 line, with 12 doubles, five triples and three homers. He didn't draw a lot of walks, but the average was excellent, and he had a lot of power in the form of extra base hits. Harrison was the top runner up this month. Willy Garcia had an impressive month in Bradenton. The outfielder hit for a .308/.364/.648 line with eight homers in 91 at-bats. Those numbers are comparable to what Lambo put up, although Lambo's numbers were slightly better and came at higher levels. Lambo, Harrison, and Garcia did so well that there was a gap this month after those three performances. There were some other good months, but nothing that could come close to those three players. One player who had a good month was Alex Dickerson. The Altoona right fielder had a .300/.350/.567 line in 90 at-bats, along with nine doubles and five homers. Dickerson has been performing at that level since the middle of May. Adalberto Santos struggled in May with a .200 average and a .589 OPS. However, he improved in June with a .318/.412/.489 line in 88 at-bats. Alen Hanson continued his hitting in June, with a .300/.347/.533 line in 90 at-bats. He did see some defensive struggles again, with six errors on the month, including five of those in a four game stretch in the middle of the month.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Just finished university. Enjoying Summer for now.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Listening to people, having a laugh and trying to relax. Trying to make time for all the people in my life.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
When meeting someone for the first time I guess my appearance, like everybody else notices about each other.. I can be quiet when I am talking to someone for the first time but then do open up more.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Not massively into books or even movies. Don't get enough time to watch/read them. Watch tv series that are on now. Breaking bad, Dexter, Big bang theory.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Just how my life is going for me at the current time. Looking forward into the future and thinking what is going to happen.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Chilling with mates or out on the town haha.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You find what I have written interesting and want to know more? I'm up for getting to know new people and having a laugh.
