California Couple Welcomes Rare Identical Triplets to the World
A California couple has welcomed three identical triplets into their lives, a feat that is extremely rare. The new parents, Hannah and Tom Hepner, who reside in Quincy, Plumas County, had the three identical triplets without the help of any fertility treatments. Instead, against all odds, the one fertilized egg had split into three.

"Identical triplets are anywhere from one-in-a-million and one-in-a hundred million," said Dr. William M. Gilbert, medical director of Sutter Women's Services and founder of Moms of Multiples Center. "It is so rare that it is hard to calculate how frequently they occur."
The couple had given birth to the three girls at Sutter Memorial Hospital on November 22. The girls were all born under four pounds, but were still considered to be at good weights for triplets. Abby weighted in at three pounds and two ounces, Brin was slightly heavier at three pounds, 11 ounces and Laurel weighed in four pounds. The babies are considered to be healthy but before they can leave the hospital, all three must be able to maintain their own body temperature, gain weight and eat properly.
"It is not unusual with identical triplets to have a difference in weight," Gilbert explained reported by the Sacramento Bee. "They usually don't share equal amounts of the placenta, so therefore one gets a little less nutrition than the other. When you have a difference in weight, the little one does better after they are born because the stress of being little matures your lungs faster."
The couple expressed their joy over their new babies. They first found out that they were having identical triplets early on in their pregnancy are "looking forward to finding out who those individuals are and helping them along the way."
Tom jokingly added in regards to the rarity of their situation, "We are thinking of bottling the water in Quincy and offering it as a fertility treatment."

On Feb. 4, 2014, Little Mix's second album, "Salute," was released in the U.S. and Canada, and debuted at No. 1 on iTunes in the U.S. and No. 2 on iTunes in Canada. The album is expected to debut in the Top 10 in both countries. Billboard will have the official chart rankings on Feb. 12, 2014.
Little Mix performed "Move" (the first single from "Salute") on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Feb. 4, 2014. The performance got mixed reactions from "Good Morning America" viewers. (See the end of this article for a sampling of comments.)
"Move" was a No. 3 hit in the U.K. in 2013, but the single flopped in the U.S., where "Move" failed to make it on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Little Mix also performed "Move" on "The X Factor" U.S. in 2013, and the group is scheduled to perform the song on "The Wendy Williams Show" on Feb. 6, 2014.
As previously reported, Little Mix has done a cover version of Cameo's "Word Up" as the official 2014 single for Sport Relief, an annual U.K. charity event that is televised in the U.K. on BBC.
Little Mix's "Word Up" will be released in the U.K. and Ireland on March 16, 2014. Sport Relief 2014 will talk place from March 21 to March 23. In January 2014, Little Mix was in Liberia as part of a Sport Relief charity promotion.
In 2011, Little Mix became the first group to win on "The X Factor" U.K.
Little Mix's first album, "DNA," was a Top 10 hit in several countries.
Little Mix's second album, "Salute," also hit the Top 10 hit in several countries when it was released in 2013. Little Mix is the opening act on select dates of Demi Lovato's "Neon Lights" 2014 North American tour. Little Mix is headlining a U.K. tour in May and June 2014.
On Jan. 21, 2014, Little Mix went to Japan to promote "Salute."
Here is a sampling of viewer comments from the official "Good Morning America" Facebook page about Little Mix's performance on Feb. 4, 2014:
"Didn't like them seems like they where tying to copy The Spice Girls and I like the Spice Girls."
"I'm not into these little kiddie bands. GMA should have more rock bands from the 80s and 90s than kiddie groups."
"They weren't too bad....but i don't know why they needed them "crotch grabbin' dancers. they were stupid and nasty."
"Cute but need more vocal control."
"I was thoroughly annoyed by their performance."
"They remind me of the spice girls!!!!!!"
"Spice Girls wanna beeees."
"They were great!"
"It's the spice girls all over again !"
"Wow love them dance my feet off."
"Loved the music as well as the dancing! Very upbeat and entertaining!"
"Trying too hard...too much like the Spice Girls!!!"
"Love them! My favorite British import."
"Is this Spice girls immitation.?"
"Little Mix? I wonder where that name come from? I had never heard of this group until they came on GMA this morning."
"Cute girls, cute boys, catchy song!!"

Excluding antennas, each satellite was a cube only 20 cm on a side and weighing less than 12 kg. Each satellite contained ten radio receivers, two agile transmitters and up to twelve megabytes of solid-state data storage. Only one watt of power was needed to power the satellite.
Aprize Satellite's proprietary spacecraft design reduced the construction and launch cost for a Little LEO satellite constellation by almost an order of magnitude. While others had an estimated cost of $350 to $600 million for the construction and launch of a Little LEO constellation of 24 to 48 satellites, Aprize could deploy a comparable system for $60 million.
This significant cost reduction was the direct result of a unique system architecture that eliminated the need for an active satellite attitude control system using thrusters.
The initial Aprize system was to include six communication satellites in low-Earth orbits. These satellites circled the earth 14 times each day, receiving data signals from all the active user equipment, and polling those from which data was specifically requested. Each satellite stored the data it received until a Regional Satellite Node (RSN) was within view, at which time the satellite transmitted the data to the RSN.
After the data relay market was sufficiently developed, up to 42 more satellites were to be deployed into similar orbits. These additional satellites would increase the data relay capacity, system redundancy and global coverage.
The radios used for communications operated in the UHF frequency band authorized by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) for Non-Voice, Non-Geostationary Mobile Satellite Services (NVNG MSS).
The small physical size of a spacecraft limited the amount of power generation possible with a the limited solar panel area. Through the use of high-efficiency Gallium Arsenide solar panels, low-power circuit designs and microelectronic components, Aprize was able to reduce the total power consumption of the spacecraft bus to less than one watt.
By operating the satellite's high-power transmitter only during those times when it was actually communicating with User Terminals, it was possible to extract the needed power from six nickel cadmium batteries, and then recharge the batteries during the non-operating portion of the satellite's orbit.
Using this strategy, each satellite could collect data from more than 100,000 worldwide User Terminals daily.
Gross mass: 12 kg (26 lb).
First Launch: 2002.12.20.
Last Launch: 2011.08.17.
Number: 8 .

Yesterday we handed over a cheque from proceeds from the sales of the CD to St Francis Hospice Raheny. Here with Brendan McGrath and Rita McGrath (right).
Great interview with Fergus and his son Fergus Browne telling the story of recording the Make The Circle Wide album on Newfoundland radio including airings of Glenties and Black Is The Colour. Brought back to me all the fun of that wonderful week recording! M.
Thanks to RTE presenter Donncha O Dualaing for playing Brid singing Carraig Donn last night on Failte Isteach.
The cd just received a great review on www.tradconnect.com:
"a family project involving the direct descendants of Michael and Ellen McGrath and their spouses and partners. As with a lot of families they have been spread across the globe from Australia to New Zealand, USA, Canada and the UK. Two craic-filled family get-togethers recently held in Dublin provided the inspiration for recording a CD reminiscent of a family tradition of house hoolies with party pieces and all that goes with it. ...a very enjoyable recording that shows what can happen when a very talented family get together to put something down on record. "
Read Full Review Here
Yes it's confirmed that Aine and Fergus are lined up for an appearance on the John Murray Show RTE Radio 1 on Monday morning 4th August between 9 and 11. They have decided to use The McGraths in an item on Family Reunions, so I will be there to talk about how our reunions came about and about how the resulting CD evolved. Good luck Aine and Fergus!!
Maurice's song "Glenties" with Fergus singing from the "Make The Circle Wide" CD will be played on Donegal Highland Radio by Packie Keeney tonight Monday between 9:10 and 9:30.
For Canada and US now available here
Liffey FM radio played Bobby McGee and Glenties tonight... "Ah my heavens, I think that is absolutelty fabulous... it's wonderful to think that we have such great talent in our midst." DJ Pádraig McGarrigle, Liffey FM http://live.liffeysoundfm.ie/
The title "Make The Circle Wide" is inspired by a line from "The man from God knows where", a poem about Corkman Thomas Russell, a United Irishman who went North to organize Presbyterians for the 1798 rebellion viz "We're a civil sort in our wee place so we made the circle wide... ". The concept captures a family desire to bond growing generations of evermore farflung descendants through sharing and recording their music and singing.
The family circle encompasses the direct descendants of Michael [d 1953] and Ellen McGrath [d1982] and their spouses and partners, living at times as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Zimbabwe and England. Two very successful craic-filled family get-togethers were held in recent years in DUblin. Such was the enjoyment of the music and songs of family members that it sparked the idea with Brendan McGrath of having them recorded on CD, harking back to a family tradition of house hoolies enlivened by party pieces.
Proceeds from the sale of this CD are being donated to St Francis Hospice, Raheny, Dublin, Ireland and Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Bliss Cancer Care Foundation, St. John's, NL, Canada.
With the generous financial backing of Brendan and Eamonn McGrath, this venture was given further impetus by the visit of musician cousins Fergus O'Byrne and Fergus Brown-O'Byrne from Newfoundland. Fergus senior was a member of the well known group, Ryan's Fancy, and a renownded singer in Canada for over 40 years. His son Fergus is an accomplished concertina and accordian player. Maurice McGrath, songwriter, musician and singer, added his original compositions to the family's repertoire. Photography is all courtesy of talented photographer Gerard McGrath.
The resulting cd is an eclectic mix of trad/folk music, both old and new from both sides of the Atlantic. It is a prime example of the complexities and nuances of music and talent which have nourished our families and our culture at home and abroad. As a family, we can rest assured that this tradition is in good hands with the younger generation taking on the challenge with great gusto.
The tracks recorded are a mix of tradional Irish ballads and tunes, songs from Newfoundland, Australia and America, and also feature three new songs by Maurice and a new instrumental piece by Stephen Murphy.
Recordings were done in Westland Studios under the expert direction of sound engineer Alwyn Walker and John O'Kelly.

Oct. 4, 2013
A lot of questions this week, so let's get right to the topics most important to you...
Phillip (Houston): What is your view, and that of SMU, on the question of providing the $2,000 stipend that has been in the news so much lately? Seems as though Arian Foster's admission to taking cash at Tennessee at the end of the month because he was hungry and had no food seems to have resonated in southeast Texas...
Answer: Being a student-athlete requires sacrifice and commitment. It is not for everyone. I am of the belief that student-athletes on a full scholarship receive tremendous benefits in exchange for their participation under the current model. It is a story that is not well-told or understood. A very small percentage of student-athletes fit into the category most often debated as being "taken advantage of" by the institution. If a student-athlete has no food or shelter, it is likely due to his/her lifestyle choices and not because he/she hasn't been provided with adequate support. This is an important life lesson we all must learn - to live within our means.
At SMU, the weighted average value of a full grant-in-aid scholarship (tuition, fees, books, room and board) is $58,757. Student-athletes living off-campus are provided a monthly stipend check for $1,550 to apply towards other expenses. Pell-eligible (need-based aid) students receive additional stipends each semester. (A total of $356,000 in Pell grants will be distributed to student-athletes this academic year.) Conservatively, a full-scholarship student-athlete attending SMU for 4 ½ years will receive over $300,000 in direct support of expenses. Read that again. That's not the whole story, either.
Student-athletes are also provided with equipment and apparel, supplemental health insurance, advanced medical care, and can request reimbursement for items such as clothing, dental work, and school supplies. In addition to these direct benefits, student-athletes are provided access to the best coaches, conditioning programs, support services (sports medicine, trainers, etc.), life skills programming and facilities - all of which require significant investments. They associate with established brands and receive national exposure and visibility. Finally, they leave college with a quality education and no debt. What is an appropriate value to place on these two benefits? Check out Doug Gottlieb's perspective as a former student-athlete here.
Athletics offers many students access, affordability and opportunity without which they would be unable to attend college. So, while some reasonable adjustments may merit consideration regarding the full cost of attendance, I think it would be wise for us to first educate our student-athletes, and key stakeholders, of the current investments made in support of the betterment of our student-athletes.
Randy (Via Twitter): Hope you haven't addressed this already but why no football coaches lunches/chalk talks this year?
Answer: We were struggling to identify a format that provided growth opportunities and value for attendees and sponsors. We do like the access and visibility an event of this nature offers and will revisit the idea in the future.
Phillip (Houston): I was wondering if the weekly TV show on Fox Sports SW was on this season and I have just missed it, or if it has been cancelled. Will there be a similar show about the men's basketball team?
Answer: The weekly TV show was discontinued. We were simply investing too much money in a product that wasn't yielding enough of a return. We reallocated these resources to other marketing and promotional activities. We are currently talking to multiple entities about various television products across a variety of sports; however, nothing to announce at this time.
Phillip (Houston): Where is the athletic department on this mobile ticketing?
Answer: According to Quinn Branson, our ticket manager, Ticketmaster recently rolled out a mobile ticketing platform. A few select clients have been testing its functionality and all is going well. After a few upgrades, we will be prepared to utilize mobile ticketing. The Moody opening in early January may be a realistic target date to begin offering mobile ticketing to SMU fans.
Preston (Dallas): I realize that you are a very busy professional, but I do very much enjoy reading more about the Athletic departments going on and I am sure that other people do to. In reference to Ford Stadium I believe that y'all had been discussing possible beer sales earlier in the year. Is SMU still looking at this option for increased revenue/fan retention/ad revenue etc. or has the thought been dropped?
Answer: Thank you, Preston. As long as people enjoy reading my column, I will continue to write it. Regarding beer sales in Ford Stadium, and Moody Coliseum, it is something we are studying. The first step was to modify the existing Board policy to allow for the exploration of alcohol sales in campus venues. As you are likely aware, the distribution of beer on a college campus encompasses a number of issues which must be properly vetted. There is a possibility that we could introduce a controlled, responsible model as early as this January when Moody reopens.
Phillip (Lake City, CO): Really enjoyed reading about the "other" time you and your staff are doing to maintain creditability and trust for SMU Athletics. Those efforts are critical to SMU's long term commitment to a quality and comprehensive program. I appreciate it. Wanted to get your comments regarding football scheduling. A&M, Tech, Baylor, etc. are great to have to play against. At the same time, it is terribly frustrating to be defeated soundly by these teams. My opinion is that SMU keeps on playing these teams and, hopefully, the day will come when victory by the Mustangs will take place and then continue on a consistent basis. So, my questions are: What time of year do you schedule future games for the football team? And, is the consensus to keep playing our old SWC foes (which I support and would like to include Rice, Arkansas, UT in the mix) or is to explore new competitive territory?
Answer: Thanks, Phillip. There is a lot happening "behind the scenes" that some may find interesting. Regarding football scheduling, many games are scheduled well in advance. It's like a big puzzle. We are working on opponents for 2018-2022 right now. So, there is some guess work involved. That said, we would like to get to the point where we are playing two games against Big 12/SEC opponents and two games against local teams outside of the "power 5" conferences. In my opinion, our non-conference schedule this year (and last year and, potentially, next year) does not provide our team with the best opportunity for competitive success throughout the course of the season. I have spoken with several of our student-athletes about this and they agree. Competitive balance in the non-conference is important.
Please keep your questions coming. Your input is important to me. Remember, if you have a question or concern, contact me through this form, or email us at email@example.com. You can also reach me on Twitter at @AD_RickHart.
Go Mustangs and Pony Up!
Rick Hart, Director of Athletics

If this had been written and published Tuesday, May 27, it, with some obvious changes, could have been published as "news." That being said, it will still be news to some of us that the City has cleared the trails at its Carolina Bay and those of us who have been avoiding the area due to the trees that had fallen across the trails during this winter's ice storm can now resume our use of this natural area. Your writer's delay in publishing allows him to utilize the article for a bit of editorializing, though, and I hope our readers will forgive the delay.
You see, May 27 was one of those days when the Aiken Geddes grandparents were graced with younger son's two elementarians and what to do by way of interesting entertainment became an issue. My plan was to take the ten year old to the Carolina Bay to teach him a bit about the use of a bow saw. This would permit grandmama time to work with the eight year old, our budding musician, on one of his piano lessons.
There were several places on the blazed trail around the bay area that were blocked, at least partially, by fallen trees. My trusted friend TobiJuan and I had found ways to work our way around the problem areas beginning a couple of days after the storm. Initially we had been very wary of possible "hangers," broken limbs that had not yet found their way to the ground, and had walked the trail with extreme care. Eventually, all problem areas boiled down to inconveniences, as opposed to dangers, and the trail walks proceeded with regularity. The only thing I had kept telling myself was how I might bring that bow saw the next time I came to the Bay to trim one particular problem area and allow for unfettered use of the trail on its east side.
Since TobiJuan and I use the trail every day, it would be a simple math problem to determine how many times I had reminded myself about bringing that bow saw before my problem with what to do with my grandchild brought the idea to fruition.
TobiJuan and I had done our circumferential navigation of the bay around 9:00 A.M. that morning. About 3:00 P.M. my grandchild and I returned, bow saw and hatchet in hand. We walked past the climbing wall and continued following the trail as it progressed and roughly paralleled Two Notch Road. On arriving at the downed pine, I was shocked. It had disappeared. Either a confluence of timing coincidence found the City and me working on the same problem on the same day, or someone in the City had been observing me all along and planned (with malice and forethought) to thwart me in my well-intentioned outing. Then, again, perhaps God was just having a laugh at my expense. Whatever the reason, my bow saw instructional efforts were thwarted on that day.
The next day I returned, with dog in tow, and found all impedances to navigation had been removed from the trail, even some that remained from an ice storm years ago. The trail is indeed clear, and usable at this time. (No thanks whatsoever to me--ergo, the "power of positive procrastination.")
Happy dog walkin' y'all!

Another option at running back this week has emerged, as Maurice Jones-Drew is questionable for Sunday, and that is Jordan Todman. The speedy Todman would be next in-line for the Jaguars, as they are light on options behind their cornerstone running back. Todman is worth a shot this week and is also worth grabbing if you are playing an opponent in Week 15 that lost Adrian Peterson or is currently counting on MJD as well. There is no room for hurt feelings in the fake football playoffs!
Pitta or Crabtree in 0.5 PPR league?
Riley cooper or Alfred Morris for week 15
Like Pitta over M Bennett Week 15?
12 team PPR, 10-4, in 4th place, this week is 1st round of playoffs. R Wilson, Rivers, AJ Green, Antonio Brown, Torrey, Crabtree, Percy, R Bush, Spiller, A Brown, Woodhead, Ellington, Fleener, Walsh, AZ & NE D. Here is my plan for waivers: drop Percy for 1.Pitta 2.D Walker. Drop NE D for 1.Gerhart 2.D Thomas. Any suggestions?
Would you put Todman in the mix? If so, ahead of Gerhart?
Should I pick up Cameron or Pitta?
The word Pitta makes me hunger for a gyros, btw
Darick Rogers or Rod Streater, and would you start either one over Steve Smith rest of the way?

Hi Ladies,
I'm new here, joined because I looked up on google and it seems this is a great place to come for support/advice/honest opinions.. I'm looking for the honest opinion part.
Really need advice and i'm sure many of you here are much older than me, and have more experience with life, relationships etc.
Ok, so i'm 22 years old my daughter turns 5 in July. Her dad has her half of the weekends (everyweek) and I have her the rest of the week, her and I live alone. I have minimal family support, I have some good friends (a few) but they live a while away, and are immature in the sense that they don't have kids.
Right so now the background is out of the way... i have been with my boyfriend for 8 months now. He's 26 (just turned this year), no kids, flats with friends, and has a full time job. Basically we fell in love with each other and from the start I asked him if he was sure he wanted to get into a relationship with me knowing that my daughter and I are a package deal. He ensured me that he wanted to be there for her and I, and he accepts that I have a child.
He usually stays 1 - 2 times during the week nights (so my daughter is here when he stays), then again on a Saturday night when she is at her dads, and thats when we go out to friends house and have a drink etc. We usually keep in contact by text/calling breifly through out the day.
Sunday night (just been) he dropped a BOMB on me! Here is what he said, i'll bullet point them as I'm aware this post is getting looooong.
- I feel depressed in my life at the moment, feel at a cross roads.
- Depressed with work, not happy in my job, want to change career paths but don't know what to do
- I want to be happy with my life and i'm not happy where I am now, i'm accessing all areas of my life.
- I have been reading on google 'signs your unhappy in a relationship' i'm not sure how I feel about everything.
- I feel guilty if I break up with you (the latest text yesterday between eachother he's now taken that back and said he's not staying with me just out of guilt).
- I want to go travelling and make the most of my life, and live with no regrets. I know you can't travell like go on a big OE because of your daughter. (he even said in the heat of the moment that "you should find a man who has been travelling already".
There are more things but I can't remeber on the top of my head.. and way he said to me that he loves me, and to not think he doesn't love me. He told me all these things, then he hugged me and I was crying and he said he loves me, half an hour later we watched a movie in bed and woke up as if everything was normal.
Yesterday though I was talking to a friend and thinking to my self, my friend said that he is just playing mind games.
I sent him a long text today saying.. that basically I don't want to be with someone who is unsure if they want to be with me, or if they don't see me in their furture. I said i loved him and i respect what descion he makes, because at the end of the day if being with me isn't making him happy then so be it. I then suggested we have time apart (space), while he clears his head to think about what he wants with us, I said i won't be waiting forever but i'm here when hes ready to talk.
His reply: "Fine, a break it is then - i'll be in touch".
I then replied back saying "By break i mean space, me not constantly texting you for a week while you clear your mind etc"..
A few texts in between the lasts texts were over 7 hours ago.. and I said:
"don't get me wrong I love you, its just clear by what you told me on sunday that your confused about if you want to be with me or not, (and he said he felt smoothered) so i'm giving you space".
He then said, "I said i'm not staying with you out of guilt, thought I clarified that - sorry. I went to the docs I have an ear infection, I think its best we stay away I don't want to get you guys sick. The doc said i take a week off work, so maybe we can treat this as a break for physical health reasons?"
My reply:
"I understand, I only brought up what I said because yesterday you sounded still unsure about us when I asked. If you know you want to be with me, then there is no issue. That was the only reason I suggested space so you could have time to think about what you wanted (with us). Obviously I will still give you space to help clear your mind etc. Hope you feel better soon"
That was my last text to him ^ no reply since, and it's been over 6 hours. I am just giving him space now, by not texting him again (unless he texts me first).
What do I do? Help.

Craig Neal, an assistant coach and talent scout with the NBA's Toronto Raptors for eight years, has completed his second season as associate head basketball coach at the University of Iowa. Neal joined the Hawkeye staff in August, 2004.
Iowa in 2006 won 25 games, the second highest total in school history. Iowa set a school record with 10 wins over top 25 opponents while earning a second straight NCAA Tournament invitation. The Hawkeyes established a record 18-game winning streak in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, winning all 17 home games a year ago. Iowa carries the third longest active home court winning streak in the nation into the 2006-07 season.
Iowa won its second Big Ten Conference Tournament title in 2006 and the Hawkeyes have posted six straight winning campaigns. Iowa had advanced to the championship game in the conference tournament three times in the last six years and no team has more than Iowa's two titles.
Along with helping guide the Hawkeyes to 46 wins over the past two seasons, Neal has been instrumental in Iowa's recruiting efforts. Iowa's incoming class for the 2006-07 season is ranked by more than one publication as one of the top 10 classes in the nation.
Iowa posted a 21-12 record in 2005, giving the Hawkeyes their fifth consecutive winning season and highest regular season victory total since 1998. The Hawkeyes earned their second NCAA Tournament invitation in the past five years. Iowa won two games in the Big Ten Tournament to advance to the semi-finals for the third time in five seasons and during the year earned three wins over teams that advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16.
Neal served as an assistant coach with the Raptors from 2000-03 and was involved in scouting and player development in 2003-04. He was also a Toronto scout for four seasons before becoming an assistant coach in 2000. He was a scout in North America and Europe for one year before joining the Iowa staff, scouting high school, junior college, college and European players for the NBA Draft and for trade possibilities. Neal was also involved with development of current roster players, recruiting of free agents and selecting players for summer league and training camps.
As an assistant coach from 2000-03, Craig was involved with practice preparation and advance scouting, preparing and implementing opponent scouting reports. He managed and directed Toronto's player development program, both during the season and the summer. He coached Toronto's summer league team for three years and was lead coach in directing all Raptor college pre-draft workouts. His duties also included assisting with the operations budget, working with advance scouting team and coordinating schedules for Toronto scouts.
Neal was a two-year starter at Georgia Tech. He earned all-ACC honors as a senior in 1988 when he set a conference single-season record with 303 assists. His playing career at Tech spanned five seasons, as he played just four games in 1984-85 due to injury. He averaged 7.7 points as a senior. His 9.5 assists per game (11.6 in conference games) led the ACC that season and still stands as a single-season record at Georgia Tech. His 659 career assists was a school record at the time and now ranks third best at Tech. His 5.2 career average is fourth best ever at Tech and his 127 career steals is the 11th best total at the school.
Neal was a member of five Yellow Jacket teams that advanced to post-season play, including an NIT appearance in 1984 and NCAA Tournament berths the following four seasons. Tech advanced to the regional final in 1985 before a loss to top-seeded Georgetown, and the Sweet Sixteen in 1986. After a first round loss in 1987 Tech defeated Iowa State before a second round loss in 1988. He earned his bachelor's degree in management from Georgia Tech in 1988.
The native of Washington, IN played prep basketball at Washington HS, for his father, Stan. He earned all-America recognition and was a member of the Indiana all-star team following his senior year in 1983.
Neal played eight professional seasons in the NBA, CBA and Europe, beginning in Portland where he was a third-round draft pick of the Blazers in 1988. He also played in Miami and Denver in the NBA and played in three championship series while competing in the CBA. He served as a player and coach his final season in the CBA (1994-95) before joining the Toronto organization. Neal was involved in professional basketball for 16 years.
In Toronto he was involved with the NBA's Team Up community service program. He founded the Craig Neal/Grant Delagrange benefit golf tournament in Fort Wayne, IN. The proceeds from the event, $90,000 last year, go to schools for autistic and Down Syndrome children.
Neal was born February 16, 1964. He and his wife, Janet, have two sons, Cullen (12) and Dalton (10).

"Mistaken Identity" is a movie based on the true story of switched at birth babies: Rebecca Grace Chittum and Callie Marie Johnson aka Callie Conley. The movie first aired under the title "Two Babies: Switched At Birth" in 1999 on CBS, according to Variety. The name was later changed to "Mistaken Identity" when the movie was released to DVD. The movie now airs on Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network. The real names were changed in the film to disguise the basis of the true story.
"Mistaken Identity" synopsis/plot
Advertised as a movie "based on actual events," it follows the story of two young women, a single mother and a married woman who bond in the maternity ward as they go through labor. Linda Wells and Sarah Barlow are bonded together forever when a DNA test for a paternity suit reveals that Linda's 2-year-old child is not her biological child. The two families must make a decision: Switch the babies back or raise the children as their own but keep in contact.
According to the Movies Based On True Stories Archives, the real story happened in Virginia in 1995 involving a single mother and a couple. The real story ending is more tragic than the movie version.
You can read Traciy Curry-Reyes' research notes on the true story at the Movies Based on True Stories Archives.

They actually make Jeff look kind of cute.
thankies Edit
yeah, im the creator, im very sorry if any of you find this insulting to creepypasta im in no way trying to make fun of it at all.......D:>
but if you liked it thanks!~
This is so cool! it has almost all of the pasta monsters! please make more :) Manga ninja 00:05, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
You make the monsters less threatening ^_^ I like that it helps me sleep at night. You make jeff so cute Tiff1234 05:08, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
I find his very hard to see. how do I fix this? Devincooper64 02:42, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
My opinion Edit
I can see the novelty of making otherwise terrifying creatures into sitcom characters, which comes off as more of a tribute than a parody. However, some of the storylines go nowhere, and some of the depictions of the characters differ greatly than the originals (I didn't know what the Jeff and Zalgo designs were supposed to represent until someone actually told me). But otherwise, for what it is, it's done very well. Weird concept, good execution. - Tehtumpi 07:01, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
(From left to right) Who are the creepypasta characters? I know Slendy, Jeff, BEN, the Rake, and Tails Doll. The rest I am not sure of. ReconTD (talk) 20:07, August 10, 2012 (
I love these! I check everyday in case there's more! ~pruzel
I think this is cool an all, but I'm not a huge fan of the art style. It's cute, but it's lacking... Something, I'm not sure. I get that she's going for a cartoon look and all, plus she's already evolved her style a lot, and has improved, which is great!
Again, great idea, but not a fan of the style.

I seem to have fallen in love with Jeff.

Read an Excerpt
Beyond Temptation
By Brenda Jackson
KimaniCopyright © 2007 Brenda Jackson
All right reserved.
"Mr. Steele, your two o'clock appointment has arrived."
Morgan Steele's pulse immediately kicked up a notch with his secretary's announcement. He inhaled deeply and deliberately cleared his mind of everything except the woman who was about to walk into his office. Helena Spears.
"Give me a few minutes, Linda, before sending her in."
"Yes, sir."
After clicking off the line he stood and threw the papers he'd been reading into his briefcase before snapping it shut and inwardly telling himself to relax. Getting Helena to his office had been the first hurdle, and he was determined to make it over the rest. He was smart enough to know that if at first you don't succeed you try again, and today he was a man with a more defined plan.
Putting his briefcase aside he found himself glancing toward the door, his pulse kicking up another notch as he remembered the night--a little more than a year ago--when he had first seen her as she walked into that charity ball wearing a very sexy fuchsia-colored dress. There had been something about her entrance that had momentarily taken his breath away, left him awestruck, mesmerized. And moments later when he had gazed into the warmth of her cinnamon-brown eyes, he had felt it. It had happened just the way he'd known it would once he found her--the perfect woman he had been holding out for all these years.
The only thing that hadn't happened as he'd assumed itwould was her acceptance. Lena, as she was known to her family and friends, wasn't seeing things quite his way. She'd tried to explain to him, in a nice way and more than once, that she wasn't interested in a man-woman relationship of any kind.
She liked her life just the way it was and had no intentions of wasting her time indulging in a meaningless affair. Nor, she'd gone further on to add, was she interested in a meaningful one, either. She had been there, done that, and she'd learned a valuable lesson and had no intentions of doing a repeat.
All that was well and good but she wasn't dealing with any regular man. At thirty-three he could admit to being arrogant, methodical and unwilling to bend in his pursuit of anything. Once he saw something he wanted and made a decision to have it, he refused to give up until he got it.
And the bottom line was that he wanted Lena. He had wasted enough time and starting today he intended to use a different approach. He glanced toward the door again when he heard the sound of the knob turning. The moment it opened and his "perfect" woman walked in he couldn't help but release a breath. He felt the sizzle as heat shimmered all through him. She was wearing a periwinkle-color business suit and she looked good in it.
"Lena, please come in," he said cordially as his gaze floated over the rest of her with an analytical eye. She had just the right amount of makeup on her strikingly attractive medium brown face, which placed emphasis on the honey brown curls that flowed around her shoulders, giving her the appearance of a Queen Latifah look-alike.
She was five feet ten, just the right height for his six-three stature. Her body was stacked, well endowed in all the right places, full breasts, wide child-bearing hips, voluptuous thighs and the most gorgeous pair of shapely legs he'd ever seen on a woman. He'd once overheard a conversation she'd had with his sister-in-law Kylie, who happened to be her best friend, about what she thought was a weight problem. As far as he was concerned, she didn't have one. When he looked at her, what he saw was a full-figured, thirty-one-year-old attractive and desirable woman who could start anything and everything inside him to stirring. The woman was temptation at its finest; however, when it came to her he was prodded to look beyond temptation and see something a lot more lucrative and worthwhile. Little did she know but he intended to open up a whole new world for the both of them.
"Thank you, Morgan," she said, closing the door behind her, and breaking into his thoughts.
"I'm here for our two o'clock appointment."
From the sound of things she intended to be all business, and that was okay for now. He would give her this time because in the coming weeks he intended to get his. She would find out soon enough that she had just walked into a "Steele cage" and there was no way out. He had failed at plan A, but he had just put plan B into full motion.
Lena pressed her lips firmly together as she looked across the room at the man leaning against his desk. Morgan Steele.
She thought the same thing now that she did that night she'd first met him. He had to be the most gorgeous human male to grace this planet, which prompted her to put her guard up even more. The last thing she needed in her life was a man, especially one like Morgan. She'd learned her lesson a few years ago that when it came to "pretty boys" and "fine as a dime" men, she had to watch her step.
But still...although she tried not to stare but couldn't help herself. She'd been attracted to him from the first. Maybe it was the beautiful coloring of his skin, which reminded her of deep rich chocolate. Or it could have been the long lashes and dark eyes. And heaven forbid if she left out the chiseled jaw, high cheekbones, low-cut black hair and a pair of lips that were too provocative to be attached to any mouth.
The first night they'd met he'd surprised her by coming on to her and asking her out. She had turned him down flat. To this day she really didn't know why he'd bothered since men who looked like him didn't go for Amazons. They were usually seen with the slim, willowy, model types. Evidently, once she'd turned him down he'd seen her as a challenge and had asked her out several times after that. But each time she would decline. Finally, she had felt the need to put an end to whatever game he was playing by explaining her position on dating to him. She was too caught up in other things she considered more important than to be added to another man's list as his flavor for the month.
As with any potential client she had done her research, which really hadn't been necessary since Morgan's oldest brother, Chance, had married her best friend, Kylie, over a year ago. Besides, most people who'd lived in these parts for a relatively long period of time knew about those four Steele brothers who ran their family business, the Steele Corporation.
Chance at thirty-seven was CEO. Sebastian Steele, nicknamed Bas, who had gotten married just a few weeks ago, was thirty-five and the corporation's problem solver and troubleshooter. Morgan was thirty-three and headed the research and development department of the company; and Donovan, at thirty-one, headed the product development division.
Then there were the three female cousins of whom only one--Vanessa--worked in the company as head of PR. The other two, Taylor and Cheyenne, had established careers outside of the family business but maintained positions on the board of directors.
"May I offer you something to drink, Lena? Springwater, juice, coffee?"
Morgan's question pulled her thoughts back in and she licked her suddenly dry lips and tightened her hand on her briefcase as if it were her block of strength. "No, thanks," she said, moving closer into the room. "And since you're a busy man I'm sure you want us to get right down to business."
"Yes, I prefer that we do since I have another meeting in about an hour."
She nodded, glad they were on one accord. She hadn't known what to expect when he'd set up the appointment. From past encounters she assumed he was a laid-back sort of guy. It was refreshing to know he could be strictly business when the situation called for it.
"Would you like to have a seat so we can get started?" he asked, pushing away from the desk and pulling her thoughts back on track.
"Yes, thanks," she said, forcing the words out from a constricted throat. He was dressed in a business suit that made him look like he belonged on the cover of an issue of Sexy Man magazine. She took the seat in front of his desk, and as soon as she sat down she noted once she tilted her head up she had a direct aim to his face, specifically his let-me-seduce-you dark eyes.
A sensuous shiver glided down her spine when their eyes met. She cleared her throat, determined to stay on track. "I understand you're interested in purchasing another home," she said to get the conversation going.
"Yes, I am and you come highly recommended." She couldn't help the smile that curved her lips.
"By Kylie?"
He chuckled. "Yes, her too, but I would expect that since she's your best friend. Actually the person who's been singing your praises has been Jocelyn. According to her, you found her and Bas the perfect house."

"Haven" School Violence Episode Pulled In Wake Of Newtown, CT Shooting Massacre
In the aftermath of the shooting massacre in Connecticut, Syfy has pulled Friday's planned episode of the supernatural drama "Haven," which featured a plot involving violence in a high school.
"Tonight's scheduled 10 p.m. episode of Haven contained scenes of fictitious violence in a high school. In light of today's tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, we have decided not to air it," announced the network in a statement. "At this time, no decision has been made as to when the episode will air."
A repeat of "Eureka" will air in place of "Haven."
Early Friday, a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook elementary school, killing 26 people (including 20 small children), and leading to an outpouring of grief on Twitter and a tearful statement from President Obama.

In the Lehigh Valley, consisting of both Lehigh and Northampton counties, 78,536 homes are heated by natural gas, 77,688 are heated by oil, while 74,405 homes use electricity. Oil is still a main heating source in the Valley, although it is down from ten years ago, when over 84,000 homes were heated by oil and only 60,000 used gas..
Due to the extreme snowy conditions and cold weather temperature this winter, heating oil prices have reached an all time high. Before January, winter prices for home heating oil was at $3.50 per gallon, and were not expected to rise in the Lehigh Valley.
However, the January snow and lingering cold temperature has caused an increase in demand for all types of home heating; natural gas, propane, oil, and electricity. The dwindling supply of home heating oil has caused prices to rise to as much as $4 per gallon-- an all time high for the Lehigh Valley.
If cold weather and snow persists through the remainder of the month and into March, we could see prices increase even higher for not only heating oil, but all types of heating sources.

There are seven new trucks that have either just hit the streets or are planning to open in the next few weeks.
On Black Friday, Rollin' Diner & Grill hit the streets of Fort Worth. Rollin' Diner & Grill's menu looks to be very filling foods with Rib Eye steak sandwiches, Philly Cheesesteak, Chicken Cheesesteak, Veggie Cheesesteak, Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers, Breakfast Tacos, Biscuits & Gravy and Grandma's Grits. I must add that I am especially excited that the Cheesesteaks will be served in hot dog buns to make eating them easier! Generally, Rollin' Diner & Grill will be found at 12209 South Freeway in Forth Worth but you can follow them on Facebook and Twitter to confirm before you head over.
Good Karma Kitchen had a soft opening in mid-November, created some Thanksgiving catering dishes and now Megan Topham and Christina MacMicken are ready for Good Karma Kitchen's Grand Opening at the Fort Worth Food Truck Park on December 2. This gluten-free truck will have both vegetarian and vegan items including sushi, flatbreads, soups and desserts. I've tried the sushi, lemon bars and macaroons and I can confirm that this is fabulous food! Good Karma will be a permanent truck at the Fort Worth Food Park but follow them on Facebook and Twitter because they do plan to venture to other areas on days the park is closed. They will also be posting their weekly specials.
Easy Slider will be bringing Dallas a slider truck in early December when Caroline Perini and Miley Holmes roll out. These ladies are looking to bring you the "Perfect Bite", the kind of food that you want to eat with your hands in a communal setting- where you can let your guard down, share your food and talk with your mouth full. With flavors influenced by Caroline's Texas roots and Miley's obsession with all things Southern, Easy Slider offers a variety of sliders, many featuring regionally-raised meats and locally-sourced produce. Follow Easy Slider on Facebook and Twitter to get the latest info on their grand opening and find out where Miley and Caroline will be serving. I hear they will even have pimento cheese sliders!

At the end of December, Russ Davis, former sous chef at Brownstone will have a "soft opening" of his Fort Worth based truck, the Drifting Bistro. This gourmet kitchen on wheels will be bringing "a playful twist" on comfort foods. The menu is still in the final planning stages but Russ has told me that he will always have two vegetarian items and a protein of the day. He will eventually be adding a pasta item of the day as well. Follow Drifting Bistro on Facebook and Twitter to get all the details about opening day and also see some awesome pictures of Russ's menu planning and day to day cooking.

Chile Pepper Grill is most well known for their salsa, which includes a medium spicy green salsa and a red cream salsa with a hot, earthy taste. Chile Pepper Grill is open from 5 p.m. - 2:30 a.m. Thursday through Sunday at 3606 Main Street in Fort Worth. You can get more information about them on their website or Facebook.

Many female cockatiels begin to lay eggs when they reach breeding age or older. This does not necessarily mean that your pet requires a mate. Often, if you have a very tame female cockatiel, she will not accept a male as she has been highly imprinted with humans. If you do purchase a mate for your cockatiel, however, make certain that you quarantine the new bird away from your pet for a minimum of 30 days (45-60 is better). During this time, schedule an appointment with your avian veterinarian for an examination. I recommend that he examine fecal samples as well as do an overall checkup. Even if he proclaims the new cockatiel as healthy, you must still follow through on the quarantine for the safety of your female, just in case!
Some cockatiel hens seem that they will never stop laying eggs. If your cockatiel is one of these incessant egg-layers, there are several things that you can do to help her. First, make sure she is getting a healthy diet. It is important that she is receiving enough calcium in her diet to replace the "reserves" she is using up creating all those eggshells. Make sure there is a fresh cuttlebone in her cage, and try to feed her foods which are high in calcium, such as collard greens, dandelion, turnip greens, kale, brocolli and mustard greens. She also needs extra protein during this time period to create the egg yolks. If your cockatiel is on a mainly pelletized diet, congratulations. If not, make sure you provide her with foods such as egg and cheese, which are both excellent sources of protein.
If your cockatiel lays her eggs off the perch (you find them cracked at the bottom of the cage), chances are she won't want to sit on them. If, however, she has stayed close to the bottom of her cage, laid her egg gently in a corner, and has snuggled down to keep it warm, don't take the egg away from her. Chances are she will only lay as many eggs as she needs to fill her "nest." After three weeks she will probably have abandoned her eggs because instinct tells her they are dead. If not, wait until she is away from them to eat or drink, and remove the eggs. At this point, if she has not stopped laying eggs, you may have a greater problem.
Often, light is the stimulus which beckons birds to breed. When the amount of light (natural or unnatural) that reaches your cockatiel's cage reaches approximately 12 hours per day, it is instinctual for her to want to reproduce. You may have to fool your cockatiel into thinking it is perpetually winter. Keep the shade drawn and keep her cage covered on three sides during the day so that you have some time with her when you come home at night. Allow her 11-12 hours of sleep at night with her cage fully covered. If she still continues to lay one egg after another, see your avian vet. He may want to give her hormonal shots, or, in extreme circumstances, remove her ovaries to prevent future problems such as thin shelled eggs and egg-binding.

The conceit behind "Edge of Tomorrow" is grounded in American's increasingly foggy memories of D-Day. In short, the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy by sending thousands of young men into the meat grinder of the heavily fortified Atlantic Wall in which it was a triumph simply to remain standing. Dumped into a churning surf, facing withering gunfire, grunts were lucky to survive the first minute of the invasion. "Edge of Tomorrow" works overtime to ensure we keenly feel those stomach-churning moments by playing them over and over and over again.
But to reproduce a modern D-Day requires a few alternations to the modern timeline. The aliens, known as mimics for some reason, have landed in an asteroid strike in the center of Europe (not an unheard-of possibility these days). The aliens spread out and it's up to our heroes, led by steely-eyed heroine Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), to hack her way through the enemy line in a counteroffensive. There's just one problem: the allied invasion can't possibly succeed.
The error in judgment begins with technology. The troops are outfitted with "jackets," inspired by the GE Hardiman project (a suit my father swears he saw in action on a carrier once when he was in the Navy). Overconfidence in the modern jacket's abilities leads to the very wrong assumption that minimal training is necessary. This proves all too deadly on the battlefield -- the mimics are insanely fast swirling balls of tentacles. Engaging them in any hand-to-hand combat is obviously unthinkable, but very few people actually know what it's like to fight one. Enter Major William Cage (Tom Cruise).
As it turns out, the reason she is such a vaunted hero is because Vrataski slaughtered a dozen mimics in one battle; her victory was possible only due to a very set of plot-stretching circumstances, and it's not until Cage appears that the allied forces get another shot at replicating it.
And replicating it he does. Cruise plays Cage as a coward, a personality affectation noteworthy only because it's Cruise playing against type. In typical "Choose Your Own Adventure" fashion, Cage is in a situation where no matter what he does, he's going to war. He learns to eventually game the system, and he and Vrataski share a secret with just one day to make a difference.
Two themes run throughout the film: heroism is a team effort, and love is about shared experiences. The grunts that go into battle with Cage eventually become a key part of saving the world. And the center of the film is as much about the relationship between Cage and Vrataski as it is about winning the war. To Cruise's credit, he conveys Cage's emotional states more with his eyes than his words, from steely-eyed determination to murderous rage to tender affection. For a film about war, "Edge of Tomorrow" finds its heart in those quiet moments when Cage struggles mightily to keep Vrataski alive despite the knowledge she will die a hundred times over.
By the time Bill Paxton shows up, it truly is "game over." Only in this game you can save first. A fascinating film marred slightly by its tidy ending.

"Please pass the turkey, and by the way, I'm bisexual!" may not be the best way to start off your Christmas dinner, unless you want everyone to choke on their stuffing. Here's some tips for surviving the holidays, with or without your relatives.
Christmas is a holiday when families gather to dysfunctionally spend time together, exchange presents and share a big meal. Even straight people can get exasperated by being in close quarters with family members who criticise, judge, guilt trip, make them regress back 10-30 years of emotional development, then ask why they're not married yet, or if they are, why they haven't had children yet or if they have, why they aren't potty trained by the age of one.
If you are bi, or some other flavor of queer, this annual ritual may be fraught with even more landmines. All together in one room are the relatives that know, the relatives that don't know, the relatives who have whispered it to other relatives then ordered them not to say anything about it to you, the relatives who figured it out when you were 12 but are politely waiting for you to say something first and the relatives who know but are either avoiding you or avoiding the topic, because they don't want to deal with it.
If you haven't come out to your family yet, Christmas might not be the best time to start--especially if you have travelled a long way and can't go home if things get too uncomfortable. On the other hand, if it's the only time you get to see your family, or if you just can't deal with another Don't Ask Don't Tell family holiday: let it fly, but have a backup plan, in case things go south. If you are visiting out of town relatives, make sure you have a sister, a friend or a motel nearby where you can go, in case staying where you planned is not an option.
If there is a relative who knows and supports you, call them ahead of time and let them know you'd like them to have your back if things get rough at Christmas. Depending on whether you're planning to be out and proud, or trying to fly under the radar to keep the peace, your backup should be someone you can count on to defend you should you need it, or change the subject if you're trying to keep things low key and someone is starting to pry. Sit together so you can give a nudge or a look if you need help, or work out a signal in advance.
If you'd rather fight your own battles, but need a hug afterwards, make sure your backup person is on standby.
Some people have issues with brothers or sisters who don't want them to mention their bisexuality in front of the kids because they're afraid it is catching or think the subject is too adult. But what do you do when the kids ask, "Uncle Ray, are you gay?" Kids these days aren't as sheltered as they used to be. Gay and bisexual characters populate TV and movie screens all the time. In my opinion, if the kid asks, they deserve an answer. Especially if they are in junior high, high school or older. But the answer should be age appropriate, simple and PG.
If there's no one you can count on who will be in attendance, have a friend on speed dial who has been alerted you may need to call for support or who will call to check up on you and see how you're doing. Since lots of people ignore their phone during family reunions or leave their cell in their purse or jacket in another room, give your friend a heads up before the big day so they make sure to keep their phone in reach.
If you're bringing your same-sex girlfriend, boyfriend or partner for the first time, be prepared for questions or being ignored. Your family has known you for a long time and it may take them a while to get used to something new they weren't expecting. On the other hand, some families are completely comfortable right away. Bringing a dish, a hostess gift, gifts for the kids or gifts for everyone from both of you can help people accept the new person more readily and give people something to talk about besides the elephant in the room.
If your family has disinvited you for Christmas, first of all, my heart goes out to you and I hope that by next year, you will be invited again. Sometimes parents just need to get over the shock. But here are some other options. If you have a special someone you're dating, spend Christmas together or visit their family. If you have a friend in the same boat as you, cook dinner together or go out to a restaurant or diner for dinner, or a Chinese restaurant, which are usually open since it is not a Chinese holiday. You can visit your local LGBT bar or restaurant where other Christmas refugees are congregated. Some people use the time off from work to take a trip or to meditate or go to a movie. You could volunteer at a soup kitchen, Gods Love We Deliver or a Meals on Wheels type program for seniors or the sick. You could organize a Christmas potluck for friends who are also Christmas orphans (and your Jewish & Buddhist friends) on actual Christmas or the day after. Or you could have a drinks & dessert party for New Year's. Just ask all your guests to bring a dessert and something they'd like to drink, whether it's wine, juice, soda or a liqueur.
If you are the parent and have recently come out to your grown kids, whether they are taking it in stride or freaking out, they need reassurance that you are still the same parent you always were, and sharing Christmas family traditions may be reassuring to them. They need to know that although some things about you are changing, your relationship with them will always remain the same.
In my family, my bisexuality was never a cause of contention at holidays, but we managed to fight anyway, then make up and enjoy each other's company, along with good food. Now that my parents have died, my brother has told me several times, just how tired he is of hearing about all things bisexual. He is all for LGBT rights and has come into town for Bi Lines, my big bi arts event of the year, twice--and plans to come again this year. He just gets tired of hearing me talk about anything to do with the "B" word. So around him, I try to tone it down. And I now know that if I ever mention that any particular famous person we are discussing was bisexual, he will say, "I dont care!" So, as much as I love him, I always have a friend on speed dial I can call after one of his visits. However, he is in another state and is not coming down for Christmas this year, it's just me and my son, who has grown up and moved out. Christmas will be a great time for us to reconnect, catch up and just spend some time together.
This year, I'll be making Christmas brunch, then we'll open our presents by the light of the Christmas tree and have a good, long conversation. Since he'll be coming to my place, we will be in my bi environment with things that make me feel comfortable: all my bisexual books, bi flag, photos of "bicons" and queer kitchen magnets. Plus my Hanukah menorahs (my family was Jewish but we celebrated Christmas too.) After that, we'll be meeting his girlfriend to see the Christmas windows or a movie.
Whatever you choose to do, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, or at least get through it with your sanity.

Rice teammates Zech Lemond and Skyler Ewing could one day face off against each other in a NL West rivalry game.
Lemond was drafted Friday afternoon by the San Diego Padres in the third round of the Major League Baseball Draft. Ewing was taken in the sixth round by the San Francisco Giants.
Both players have finished their junior years of college, so they do have the option of returning to Rice for one more season.
The news of their drafting set off a congratulatory round of tweets from teammates, friends and Owls baseball fans.
Congratulations to my teammate @ZechLemond for being drafted today in the 3rd round! Proud of you man! Good luck, you deserve it! #HootyHoo," tweeted Leon Byrd.
Lemond was considered by some to be a top 50 selection. He may have slid to 86th because he missed about six weeks of the 2014 season with elbow inflammation.
@Padres got a steal in #Rice RHP Zech Lemond as a third rounder," tweeted Kendall Rogers of Perfect Game USA. "94-96 arm with a plus breaking pitch. One of the elite arms in CBB."
Lemond seemed excited in his own tweet.
Just have to thank God for putting me here, and the @Padres for giving me this great opportunity to play for them!" he wrote.
For his collegiate career, Lemond is 12-3 with a 1.91 ERA and a total of 155 strikeouts in 165 innings over 62 Rice appearances. He was asked to both start and come out of the bullpen during the 2014 season. He was a relief pitch in 10 of his 15 appearances.
The Houston native notched three early saves and had 1.64 ERA in five early relief appearances. When No. 1 starter Jordan Stephens went out with an elbow injury in early March, Lemond was asked to be the Friday starter.
He was 2-0 with a 1.25 ERA as starter, often working deep into games. He averaged 7.1 innings as a starter and had a 3.3.-to-1 strikeouts to walk ratio. Lemond returned in time for the Conference USA Tournament. He pitched 6.2 innings in relief during the postseason, including winning a game over George Mason in the NCAA Regional opener on May 30.
Ewing started 62 games this season, including 54 at first base and seven at catcher. He led Conference USA in runs (57) and total bases (124) and tied for first in RBI (48). He was second in C-USA in hits (81) and home runs (9). The Arlington native reached base 42 percent of the time when leading off an innings. He had multiple hit games 25 times.
Ewing was named first-team all-Conference USA. He also was chosen for the C-USA All-Tournament Team and the All-NCAA Regional Team.
Here's MLB.com's scouting report on Ewing:
"In a down year for position players in the state of Texas, Ewing intrigues scouts because he offers right-handed power potential and has a chance to become a catcher. After batting a combined .238 as a part-time player in his first two years at Rice, he won the Cape Cod League home run derby last summer and took a huge step forward as a junior.
"Ewing's strength always has been evident, and he finally found success at the plate this spring by shortening his swing and improving pitch recognition. He can crush the best of fastballs and while he still can struggle against offspeed pitches, he's making adjustments.
"Ewing hasn't caught regularly for the Owls, so it's hard to know whether he'll be able to stick behind the plate in pro ball. His marginal athleticism and slow release mitigate his arm strength, and he's a bit stiff as a receiver. Scouts laud his work ethic, which should help as he tries to make the transition to a full-time backstop."
At publication time, the draft was in the 10th round. Rounds 11-40 will be held on Saturday.

Freedom Trading Issues a Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Super Power, a Product Marketed as a Dietary Supplement to Support Male Sexual Performance, Due to Undeclared, Potentially Hazardous Active IngPublish Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:30:00 -0500
Contact:Consumer:email@example.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - January 24, 2013 - Woodbridge, NJ – D&S Herbals, LLC, d/b/a Freedom Trading is conducting a voluntary consumer recall of a product sold as a dietary supplement under the brand name of Super Power. This product was sold between August 2012 and January 2013 nationwide.Finished product of Super Power was tested and found to contain trace amounts of an FDA-approved drug. Analytical tests conducted by independent labs of Super Power concluded that the products contained trace amounts of sildenafil. Sildenafil is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in an FDA-approved drug that is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) making this product an unapproved new drug.This undeclared active ingredient poses a threat to consumers because sildenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates. ED is a common problem in men with these conditions and they may seek products to enhance sexual performance. Additionally sildenafil may cause side effects such as, headaches and flushing.The recalled products are in capsule form, packaged in two (2) count blister packs. The lot and expiration date can be found on the back of the package.
