An ABC Reporter Tweets the Worst Train Ride of His Life
A cold, stranded Amtrak train will produce some memorable tweets.
An Amtrak ride from Washington to Philadelphia gone horribly awry last night was live-tweeted by at least one cold, terrified, somewhat hysteric passenger, ABC-7 Washington reporter Stephen Tschida. At some point in the night, a wire fell across the track, stranding the train for six and a half hours. It finally reached Philadelphia at 4:40 a.m., ten hours after it was supposed to arrive, and not before Tschida relayed to the world news of a passenger mutiny, the sad-eyed Spanish lady, his fear of impending doom, and his desire to break down and cry. Here's his Twitter stream in reverse chronological order.

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 24 October 1851; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18511024-TC-AC-01; CL 26: 213-215
Chelsea, 24 Oct'r, 1851.
My dear Brother,—About a fortnight ago I wrote to you intimating that I would soon send a copy of a Book called Life of John Sterling, which was just about coming out, and also that I would write soon again. Last week, in good time for the mail, said Life of Sterling did accordingly set out towards you. On enquiring practically I found such a feat was now quite handy. If the Book weighs under one pound, it will go to Canada or from it for a shilling; if under two pounds and above one, you must pay two shillings, (in stamps always), and so on for other weights. It is an immense convenience and I design if I live to make use of it on other occasions on your behalf. If all went right the book will reach you about a week before this present letter, if it do not, write to me and I will take some order in the matter. If it do come rightly you may send me an old newspaper addressed in your hand. That will be announcement enough for the purpose, and so we have finished this affair of the Book, let us hope.
Since I wrote last our "Exhibition" has dissolved itself, all gone or going to the four winds, and on our streets there is a blessed tranquillity in comparison. London is of all the year stillest at this season or a little earlier. All one's acquaintances are in the country, two or three hundred thousand of the inhabitants are in the country. Now is the time for a little study, for a little private meditation and real converse with one's self—a thing not to be neglected, however little pleasant it be. The days are getting foggy, a kind of dusky, stoory-looking, dry fog, dimmed with much thin reekover and above, not an exhilarating element at all, but it is very quiet comparatively and one ought to be thankful. I often think I will go into the country to live, out of this dirty reek and noise, but I am very feckless for making changes and find all countries (Annandale itself) grown very solitary and questionable to me. "Busy, busy, be busy with thy work:"—let that in the meanwhile suffice as commandment for me.
Within the week I have news from Scotsbrig. Our dear old Mother was reported well (for her) "better than when I was there." Jack being now with her, that is always a considerable fact in her favor. The good old woman, she can do wonderfully when things go perfectly "straight," but a small matter is now sufficient to over-set her. She can read, the whole day if she have any Book worth reading, and her appetite for reading is not at all sickly or squeamish, but can eagerly welcome almost anything that has, on any subject, a glimmering of human sense in it. Jamie's harvest is well over, a rather superior crop for quality, the quantity about an average, that is the account he gives—and indeed it is the general account of the country this year. Trade is good this year or more back; so that numbers of the people are or might be well off (tho' I think they mainly waste their superior wages) and huge multitudes of vagrant, distressed wretches are to be found everywhere even now. What will there be when "trade," as it soon will do, takes another turn. Strolling Irish, hawking, begging, doing all kinds of coarse labour, are getting daily more abundant—unhappy beings! We hear from the Newspapers much absurd talk about the "Millions that have emigrated to America." Alas, it has been to England and Scotland that they have "emigrated," as anybody but a Stump Orator or Newspaper Editor might see—and they will produce their effects here by and by!— On the whole, dear Brother, you are right happy to have got out of this horrible welter into a quiet garden of your own over the sea. There are times coming here, and rushing on with ever faster speed, though unnoticed by the "glass palace" sages and their followers, such as none of us have ever seen for violence and misery. Church and State and all the arrangements of a rotten society, often seem to me as if they were not worth 20 years' purchase and the thing that will first follow them is nearly certain to be greatly worse than they. God mend it. We can do nothing for it but try if possible to mind our own work in the middle of it.
There came a letter lately from Sister Jenny which reports of you at Bield in a very interesting and cheering fashion. You are not much changed except (like myself) a little whiter in the happits. Tom is a stout handy looking fellow, not too tall. Jane a douce tidy lass, in short "you look all very comfortable on your two farms." We were thankful enough for such a pictorial report, I need not tell you. As to Jenny herself there seem good omens too, and we hope her husband and she may now do well, his follies having stilled themselves with advance of years. At all events she will be more content than in Dumfries in her old position: there it was clear enough she could not abide much longer. That she is near you on any emergency is a great comfort to our Mother and the rest of us.
Adieu, dear Brother, I did not mean to write so much to-day, being hurried enough with many things. Jane sends her love to her namesake and to you all. I wish you would buy Tom an American copy of one of my books, (Translation of W. Meister? No?), and give it him as a memento of me and you, some time when his behaviour is at the best. Assure him, at any rate, of my hearty regard, him and all the household. My blessing with you all.
Affectionately, /

The Park City Point2Point mountain bike endurance race has been around for five years now. Saturday, Aug. 30, will mark the sixth running of the 75-mile race.
Salt Lake City resident Alex Grant, who often trains in Park City, is aiming to continue his streak of being the only male to ever win the overall title. In the five previous iterations of the race, Grant has finished in first place every single time.
Race director Jay Burke says he expects another world-class effort from Grant in 2014.
"I've tried hard to find some people who can come and give him a run for his money," Burke said. "He's a phenomenal rider and I look for him to have another good result this year."
In addition to Grant, Burke said there will be other solid riders in the field of 350 as well.
"Alex Grant is one of the best American endurance racers right now," he said. "He just won the Breck Epic Stage Race in Colorado. One of his teammates, who is a legend in mountain bike racing, Tinker Juarez, will be back. He's an icon. The last time he came, three years ago, he was on the podium. He could be there again if conditions work in his favor."
In last year's women's open class race, local Evelyn Dong picked up her first P2P victory. Both Grant and Dong won $2,500.
"We pay equally to both men and women," Burke said. "We've got a great list of sponsors this year and, in the open class, there's a $12,000 cash purse. That's always a big draw for the racers to come to Utah.
Yes, the P2P draws many top-flight racers, but there are also plenty of categories for non-elite riders, Burke said. In fact, six riders this year are over 60 years old.
"The oldest racer this year is 65," he said. "We have six folks this year, all males, that are over 60."
Everyone in the 60-plus category will get a custom walking stick as a completion prize, Burke said.
"It says, 'I'm getting older, but I'll bet two bits I can whip your ass in a bike race,'" Burke laughed.
The race will begin at 7 a.m. in Round Valley before working its way through some of Park City's most scenic trails, Burke said. But, he added, trail impact will be limited because the riders won't linger in any one spot for too long.
"It starts at Round Valley and we do a good little lap out there," he said. "But we're out of there by 8:30. You don't even know the race started out there if you get there after that. Then it jumps into the Prospector trail system area, makes its way into Deer Valley mid-morning. Then it gets into the higher terrain of Deer Valley and Park City [Mountain Resort].
"It definitely hits on the Mid-Mountain Trail a couple times, but it's not like we ride the entire trail. The longest section of Mid-Mountain we use is from PCMR to Canyons, where the race finishes."
For those hoping to see a portion of the race, Burke said PCMR offers one of the best views other than the finish area at Canyons.
"The very best spot, with the easiest access, is the bottom of the First Time lift at PCMR," he said. "By that point of the race, mile 53, things are really starting to spread out. Our first racers will be by there probably about 11:30. It'll be pretty tight the top 10-15 male racers are going to be really close and then we've got 4-5 women in the open class who will be pushing each other, too."
Registration for the P2P, which began in February, filled up quickly, as usual, Burke said. Racers hoping to compete in the 2015 P2P will need to be sure to sign-up early.
"Registration always launches mid-February and we sold out in five minutes this year," he said. "We cap at 350 people, but, in that window of time, we had over 700 people on the server trying to register."

3E Company and Enablon Announce Strategic Collaboration
Alliance Combines Enablon's QEHS and Compliance Software Suite with 3E's Product Safety Data and Global Regulatory Content for Reduced Cost and Risk
Tuesday, February 11, 2014
Carlsbad, Calif. — 3E Company, a leading provider of environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance and information management services, and Enablon, a leading provider of Sustainability, EH&S, and Operational Risk Management Software, announced a strategic collaboration today. The alliance brings together Enablon's QEHS and Compliance Software Suite and 3E's substance-level global regulatory content and product-level SDS data. The combined offering provides companies with a comprehensive, efficient, and affordable solution set for reducing risk and complying with EH&S, hazard communication, and workplace safety requirements. 3E Company is a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq:VRSK).
Enablon and 3E Company have collaborated to develop an integrated solution that combines 3E's database of 4.5 million accurate safety data sheets (SDS) with Enablon's Quality, Environment, and Health & Safety (QEHS) Software Suite. The integrated solution facilitates enhanced compliance and increased productivity by streamlining the document acquisition and approval process for new products, enabling them to inventory hazardous materials at the facility level and exchange safety and product data across their organizations.
The companies are also in the process of integrating 3E's Ariel regulatory content with Enablon's software suite. This integration will enable users to meet regulatory requirements more quickly and easily by comparing the materials managed in the Enablon database against 3E's Ariel regulatory lists. The companies are also exploring additional integration opportunities, such as enabling Enablon users to leverage 3E's MSDgen SDS authoring platform for the rapid creation of SDSs, labels, and other hazard communication documentation.
"Enablon is widely recognized as a leader in the enterprise EH&S software industry, and one of the reasons for that is the incredible breadth and depth of its platform. Our alliance with Enablon offers our global customer base many distinct advantages, including expanded access to our robust EH&S content and data services through the widest and deepest QEHS management platform in the market," said Robert S. Christie, CEO, 3E Company. "This critical data often serves as the cornerstone of successful EH&S and product stewardship initiatives."
The collaboration highlights both companies' respective strengths, including 3E's unique ability to research, source, aggregate, enrich, and maintain EH&S compliance-related data and information and make it available in a format that is easy and practical to use, based on customers' specific needs. Integrating this critical data with Enablon's QEHS solutions creates a comprehensive and robust platform to help joint customers better address their EH&S management and compliance challenges.
"We are delighted to offer our customers access to 3E data and look forward to collaborating further with 3E Company to create innovative and useful compliance solutions for our mutual customers. By integrating our solutions with 3E's extensive product and substance EH&S content and data services, we are now able to provide our global customer base even more robust tools and greater global coverage to help them meet their EH&S management and compliance challenges, while reducing costs and mitigating their risks," said Phil Tesler, CEO, Enablon North America.

HGST unveils SSD capable of three million IOPS
PCM drive is super speedy, says HGST
HGST HAS ANNOUNCED its PCM solid-state disk (SSD) drive, which it claims is "the world's fastest SSD", at the Flash Summit in Santa Clara, California.
The new SSD uses a completely new architecture compared to present commercial models. The result uses a PCIe interface to deliver three million random read I/Os per second (IOPS) of 512 bytes each, with a random read latency of 1.5 microseconds.
HGST CEO Steve Campbell said, "The PCM SSD demonstration is a great example for how HGST sets the pace of the rapidly evolving storage industry.
"This technology is the result of several years of research and advanced development aimed at delivering new levels of acceleration for enterprise applications. The combination of HGST's low-latency interface protocol and next generation non-volatile memories delivers unprecedented performance, and creates exciting opportunities for new software and system architectures."
Along with the announcement came a new HGST range of PCIe accelerators under the FlashMAX III brand. Capable of 540,000 random read IOPS, the PCI Express 3.0 accelerators are compatible with Windows Server and Linux based systems.
The final announcement was HGST Servercache, a software suite that allows IT administrators to roll out a hybrid flash environment on their existing networks.
No pricing is available yet for FlashMAX but it is expected to launch in the third quarter. Servercache is available now at $995 per server after a 30-day trial.
The Flashmax range follows on from last week's announcement of three new Ultrastar SSDs aimed at the online gaming market, and last year's world's first helium-filled disk drive µ

Masculine beauties Damien Crosse and Will Helm make love against the shores of Ibiza -- as the raging waters crash on the jagged rocks below, Damien and Will press and mash their bodies into one another. They kiss deep and wet; their lips smack and their eyes are closed as they loose themselves in one another. The boys have excited hands matching their passion for one another, and they are frisky touching and exploring every inch of their muscles. Damien moves down Will, kissing his abs and licking his chest before pulling back his underwear and sliding Will into his mouth, playing with his foreskin and worshipping the shaft of his cock. Will then samples Damien's dick, sucking on it to bring his partner romantic pleasure. But Will takes power in the relationship and prepares Damien to service him by offering his ass to him. Will penetrates Damien, sliding his dick deep inside the bottom, in and out slowly while running his hands along Damien's tense and excited body. Damien props himself on his knees and cranes back, kissing Will as he fucks him slowly and with care. Damien flips onto his back and wraps himself in Will's arms as he takes care of his bottom man, showing him both love and pleasure until they reach their hot reward.
Handsome Cuban pornstar Damien Crosse isn't just a pretty face with a hot body -- he holds a B.A. in anthropology. Damien is totally versatile in bed and loves nothing more than showering and getting showers with hot streams of piss. He's certainly put a lot of thought into his fantasy fuck, too: he wants to have an eight-man orgy on a club rooftop during the middle of a steamy summer. It's a good thing modeling in gay porn has made him less timid!
French pornstar Will Helm is a proud and strong power top who loves nothing more than fucking a good bottom who knows how to take it and loves every second of it. Will started performing in gay porn to have fun and he loves fucking guys who have ripped muscles and excited assholes! The wildest place Will has fucked in on a beach -- hopefully with his sexy boyfriend, Kriss Aston!

Two New Policies Related to Critical Infrastructure Protection
Earlier this week the White House released two new policies related to critical infrastructure protection and cyber security. The first document is a Presidential Policy Directive #21 on Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (PPD-21). It replaces Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7), which had served previously as the policy basis for the national critical infrastructure protection enterprise. PPD-21 provides a framework for the Federal Government to work with private sector, State, and local partners to protect our Nation's critical infrastructure against all hazards. The Executive Order builds on PPD-21 and focuses specifically on the protection of critical infrastructure from cyber threats.
issuing the EO and PPD together, the Administration is taking an
integrated approach that strengthens the security and resilience of
critical infrastructure against all hazards, through an updated and
overarching national framework that acknowledges the increased role of
cybersecurity in securing physical assets and calls for enhanced
information sharing and public-private partnerships.
Ohio Hospitals Prevail During Power Outages
(COLUMBUS, OH)— Despite the power outages in many communities around Ohio caused by the severe thunderstorms on Friday, June 29 and Sunday, July 1, Ohio hospitals were able to continue providing vital health care services to their communities during this state of emergency. Eleven hospitals functioned with generators during the power outage and were able to continue their health care services to patients.
A new report
from the Missouri Hospital Association shares lessons learned by
hospitals responding to an exceptional series of natural disasters in
the state last year, including a catastrophic tornado that struck the
city of Joplin May 22.
"During storms that brought unprecedented snow, ice, floods and tornadoes to Missouri in 2011, hospitals throughout the state once again demonstrated their ability to serve their communities," said MHA President and CEO Herb Kuhn. "In times of emergency, communities depend on hospitals for immediate, lifesaving medical assistance. This report demonstrates that Missouri's hospitals fulfilled that role and more, especially following the Joplin tornado. Sharing the experiences of 2011 will help every hospital prepare for the unexpected."
The report focuses on nine key areas of hospital and health system preparedness: planning, communications, resources and assets, safety and security, staffing, volunteers, utilities, medical surge and evaluation.

Porter Wagoner
, the Thin Man from the West Plains, is a case of an artist often ahead of his time who has always appeared hopelessly behind the times. He's among the most immediately recognizable figures in country music, largely due to his exploitation of TV -- and flashy costumes -- a good 20 years before the video boom. And while he's forever perceived as the man who tried to hold
Dolly Parton
back from pop success, he was also responsible, in many ways, for putting her in a career position where the issue could even arise. As for his music, since signing with RCA in 1952 he has produced a wealth of superb hard country, and just as much of the most wretchedly oversentimentalized tripe you'll ever want to hear. The latter, of course, is half the reason he's loved.
was born in West Plains, MO. As he grew up, he fell in love with the country music he heard over the radio, teaching himself guitar so he could sing and play along with them. When he was a teenager, he landed a job at a local market, where he would frequently sing when business was slow. The owner believed that
's singing was actually helping the store's reputation, so he arranged to sponsor a local radio show that would feature the fledgling vocalist. Throughout the late '40s,
was singing on the local West Plains radio station. Eventually, a Springfield radio station called KWTO offered
a show in 1951. Around the same time,
Red Foley
was beginning his
Ozark Jamboree
program, which was based in Springfield and broadcast both on KWTO and national television.
onto his show, which helped the young vocalist land a record contract with RCA Records. In 1954, his ninth single, "Company's Comin'," hit the Top Ten. It was followed in the spring of 1955 with "A Satisfied Mind," which stayed at number four for four weeks. At the end of the year he released "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry (Tomorrow You'll Cry)," which climbed to number three in early 1956. In 1957, he joined the Grand Ole Opry and moved to Nashville, where he formed his backing band,
the Wagonmasters
For the rest of the '50s,
continued to record, but he never broke the Top Ten again. It would take another television show for him to return to the top of the charts. In 1961, he began hosting his own television show, which was syndicated out of Nashville. It was the most popular country show of the '60s, growing from 18 stations in 1961 to over a hundred stations in the early '70s.
often sang with
Norma Jean
, a new female singer he introduced to the country audience, on these programs. The look of

was enormously popular on the show, and their first joint single, "The Last Thing on My Mind," rocketed to number seven at the beginning of 1968. The song launched a string of Top Ten hits that ran more or less uninterrupted until 1975, when the duo stopped working together. In 1968, the Country Music Assocaition named the duo the Vocal Group of the Year; the CMA would award them Vocal Duo of the Year in 1970 and 1971, as well.

Viva Porter Wagoner
, for Eastwood's label imprint at Warner Bros. Records, Viva, that made the country charts and produced a couple of minor country singles chart entries. After that, he only made occasional recordings for small labels. He toured with the Right Combination, an all-girl band, for several years. In the late '80s and early '90s, he became increasingly active on The Nashville Network, to the point that Opryland named him its "Goodwill Ambassador" and he was a regular host of the Grand Ole Opry radio and television program. In July 2000, he released his first new album in many years,

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Mega Millions winning numbers for October 18, 2013 results tonight are worth thirty-seven million dollars, officials tell news. There was no big winner last Tuesday. So the draw tonight has grown, with a twenty-five million dollar cash option at stake. Live results for 10-18-2013 winning numbers will be released later tonight at 11 PM EST.
The Mega Millions winning numbers for 10-18-2013 follows a Tuesday draw with no jackpot winner. There were some happy winners however. Two persons got five numbers correct. One won a quarter million dollars while the other got a million dollars for selecting the Megaplier. There were twenty-nine winners who got the 4+1 ball on Tuesday, with three of them jumping to forty thousand dollars with the Megaplier.
But tonight is the last time that the current Mega Millions format will be offered. What are the new Mega Millions changes for 2013?
Some balls will be eliminated and other balls will be added to change the odds of winning. First, the odds of winning the jackpot are going to get harder. The odds will drop from 1 in 259 million from 1 in 176 million. This will be achieved by growing the number of white balls from fifty-six to seventy-three. Second the odds of winning smaller prizes will get easier. The number of Megaballs will drop from forty-six to fifteen.
Officials contend that the odd changes will cause jackpots to grow faster, and bigger. Mega Millions wants to generate bigger payouts, that generate more news, more frequently. "Lottery players have been spoiled by a rash of record-breaking jackpots," S.C. Education Lottery executive director Paula Harper Bethea said in a statement several weeks ago. "Mega Millions saw where change was necessary to keep pace and attract players back to its exciting brand, and we feel that will be the case in South Carolina."
UPDATE: Tonight's winning numbers have just been released. They are 5, 20, 45, 48, 56, Mega: 1, Megaplier: 4. For all other winning numbers this week click HERE.

Junior first baseman Tim Stewart (Santa Ana, CA/Mater Dei HS) of the UCLA Baseball team was selected as the UCLA/MET-Rx Student-Athlete of the Week (May 15-21).
Stewart lifted the Bruins to a crucial Pac-10 series win over visiting Stanford on Sunday, hitting two clutch home runs with four RBI in the game to give UCLA an 8-7 win over the Cardinal. Down 5-3 in the fifth inning, Stewart connected for a three-run home run to left field to put the Bruins up 6-5, as UCLA gained the lead for the first time after being down 6-0. Stewart won the game in the bottom of the ninth inning in dramatic fashion. With the game tied at 7-7 and two outs, he drove a 0-1 pitch over the left center wall for a game-winning walk off home run. On the season, Stewart is hitting .314 (32-102) with a team-best six home runs, 25 RBI, and 21 runs scored. He is the first Bruin this season to hit multiple home runs in a game.
This is Stewart's first UCLA/MET-Rx Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and of his career.
Also nominated: Kevin Chappell, M. Golf; Ben Kohlloeffel, M. Tennis; Jodie Legaspi, Softball.

Mouse adenoviruses (MAdV) are supposedly the oldest members of the genus Mastadenovirus. Currently, there are three distinct MAdV types known with rather different tropism and pathology. Here we report and annotate the DNA sequence of the full genome of MAdV-2. It was found to consist of 35,203bp thus being considerably larger than the genomes of the other two MAdV types. The increased size of the MAdV-2 genome is generally due to larger genes and ORFs, although some differences in the number of ORFs were observed for the early regions E1, E3 and E4. The homologue of the 19K gene of E1B from MAdV-2 codes for 330 amino acids (aa) and is almost twice as large as from other mastadenoviruses. Accordingly, only the N-terminal half (155aa) has homology to the 19K protein. A homologue of the gene of the 12.5K protein was identified in the E3 region of MAdV-2, but not in MAdV-1 or MAdV-3. The other gene of yet unknown function in the E3 region of MAdV-2 seems to be unique. The E4 region of MAdV-2 contains three ORFs. One has similarity to the 34K gene of other AdVs. Two unique ORFs in the E4 region of MAdV-2 have no homology to any of the five and six ORFs in the E4 region of MAdV-1 or MAdV-3, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the three murine AdVs have a close common ancestor. They likely formed the first branching of the lineage of mastadenoviruses, and seem to be the most ancient representatives of this genus.

Genealogists join lineage societies for more than one reason. It may be to preserve a family's history, to honor an ancestor, or because they share the same beliefs as the organization.
A recent survey of women in the Fort Worth area who belong to lineage groups indicated that most of them joined for multiple reasons, including a belief in the mission of the society.
Marcy Carter-Lovick believes in giving back to her community and she learned that lineage organizations are actively involved in volunteer work.
"Lineage organizations are involved in supporting and recognizing our military veterans as well as active-duty military personnel," she said. "They are involved in education through such things as the support of specific schools for under-privileged students, essay contests, and scholarships. Historic preservation of places and materials is also a key mission for lineage organizations. No matter the area in which a member is interested, an opportunity to serve is provided."
Debbie Pearson said she had four main reasons for joining lineage societies, and her third reason was because of a shared belief between her and the organizations.
"It was a belief in and respect for the missions and work of the organization. That is one of the many reasons I joined and stay active in my lineage societies," she said. "Many patriotic and lineage societies support our military or veterans; publish histories or preserve records, artifacts, or buildings; or work with schools to provide scholarships."
Karen McClendon said she considers herself a "lineage society junkie" and belongs to about 60 organizations.
"Every society I'm in does something beneficial for veterans, college students, or libraries, just to name a few," she said, "so membership involves a symbiotic relationship. I receive pleasure through knowing my ancestors will be remembered, through fostering friendships with like-minded people, and learning more about historical topics while I'm able to give through the good works of each of these organizations."
While it is important to these genealogists to preserve their family's history, the belief in the organization's mission and ability to participate in the mission are even more valuable to some, including Alice Betsy Stone.
"The volunteer work gives me the most satisfaction, such as when we can help our veterans or educate our young people on the history of our country and the reasons why our patriotism is so crucial to society," Stone said.
There are several websites that have lists of lineage societies, including The Hereditary Society Community of the United States of America and Cyndi's List.

Last week, I got an email from a new reader asking a thought-provoking question about leaving Corporate America.
"What sort of signal does it send to my kids? Will I still be a good role model?"
It's a conundrum. We all want our kids to work hard, right? I don't want my kid to grow up to be a slacker so is quitting my job to be a stay at home dad sending the wrong message? This is an impossible question to answer because every situation is different, but I think spending more time with your kids can only be a good thing. This is one of the major reasons why I became a stay at home dad. We didn't want our kid to spend 50-60 hours/week at the daycare.
We used to drop him off at 7 am and pick him up at 6 pm when he went to full time daycare. After we got home, we'd feed the baby and then it's time for bed. That's A LOT of time with strangers and not a lot of time with his parents. Sure, the daycare workers were very nice, but I wanted to be more influential in my kid's life.
Some history
My parents both worked when I was growing up. They were always busy and relied on babysitters to help raise the kids. My dad in particular didn't spend much time at home. He was always out socializing and I don't remember spending much time with him as a child. My mom worked too, but she was the primary caretaker and was always there when the kids needed her.
Was the fact that my dad didn't spend much time with us influenced my decision to become a SAHD? Not consciously, but more bonding time with my dad would have been nice. To a little kid, it looked like he'd rather spend time with his friends than his family. I don't want my kid to feel that way.
Role model
As for not working a traditional job anymore, I will show him the benefit of working hard and investing early. I didn't just quit my job on a whim. I saved and invested a large portion of my salary for 16 years before I could even contemplate such a drastic change. The goal of retiring by 40 formed when I was 36, but I laid the foundation from the time I graduated from college.
RB40 Jr. would be able to see the benefit of financial freedom. Most middle class families never even contemplate financial independence and they let their jobs enslave them. Our kid will have a big head start toward becoming financially independent just by seeing my example and knowing that there is an alternative to Corporate America. I want my kid to be entrepreneurial and choose his own path through life. He may choose to work a traditional job, but at least he'll know there are other ways to live. Life isn't about collecting as much crap as you can. It's about finding your own happiness.
I'm still working
Early retirement doesn't mean you have to stop working. Mrs. RB40 said she didn't realize how much time and effort it took to blog as a business. It was like learning a completely new language. I plan to keep blogging until it's not fun anymore, and then I would move on to do something else. I will keep busy and I won't be sitting around the house watching TV all day. I might even go back to work for other people someday if I really believe in the cause (i.e., Peace Corps) or if it is a really fun job. My kid knows I have to get away to work once in a while and he is learning to live with that. I also want to be more involved with his education as he gets older and that would take time, too.
Anyway, being a good role model is about how you conduct yourself when you're around your kids. Kids will mimic what grownups around them do. If they spend a majority of their time around strangers, then they will pick up their character and habits. I'm not perfect, but I know I'm a good influence for my kid for the most part. Of course, now he's going around saying "shoot!" and "bang it!" You really do have to watch yourself around your kids. At least he hasn't drop the F-bomb yet, unlike his cousin…
Do you think being a stay at home parent is a good example to your kids?
Bonus – random stuff found on the internet
Here are some examples of how not to behave around your kids.

Cornish air link to London to disappear
Business leaders in Cornwall are considering the impact of plans to cut the county's only air link to London.
Flights from Newquay to Gatwick are currently run by Exeter-based Flybe. But Easyjet has bought its landing slots, and has decided against continuing the route after next March.
Cornwall to Gatwick flights to end
Flights from Cornwall to London Gatwick will end early next year.
Easyjet bought the landing slots from Exeter based Flybe, but now say there isn't enough demand to keep the service open.
It's a major blow for the airport at Newquay, but also for the county's business community who'll have to travel to the capital by train or road.
The nearest airport to London from Newquay will be Southend.
Our Cornwall correspondent Steve Hardy reports.
New link for Newquay
A new Easyjet service has begun between Newquay and London Southend Airport. A new route to Liverpool will also start next month.
However Exeter-based airline Flybe has said it plans to stop services from Newquay to Gatwick next March after selling the landing slots in London.

There is uncertainty over Cornwall's airlink to London after Flybe announced the sale of its Gatwick airport slots. The Exeter-based airline has sold its landing times to Easyjet.
Flybe's service will come to an end in 2014. Easyjet says it can't confirm whether it will continue the route until later this year. Managing Director of Flybe Europe, Mike Rutter, says high charges at Gatwick forced the sale:

NEW YORK CITY (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- This Easter season, Americans will buy more than 700 million marshmallow peeps and 90 million chocolate eggs. But would the Easter bunny really approve of all of that candy? Two women who say all we ever needed to know about healthy eating we can learn from bunnies.
Put down the jelly beans and chocolate bunnies. Some say we should follow the lead of a real rabbit this Easter.
"They are the perfect judge. If you put it in front of him and he eats it, you know it's good for you." Co-authors of Camelot's Kitchen, Shoreh Pirnia and Rain Sevin told Ivanhoe.
Camelot is the rabbit who is the inspiration behind a new interpretation of rabbit food.
His rabbit rules: eat small meals several times a day, never get too hungry or too full, don't deprive yourself, and eat meals that pop with color.
"He loves dried cranberries, almonds, walnuts, and raisins, so I would incorporate that in just about any of the salads," Pirnia said.
Camelot's favorites are salads that serve as meals. Combine canned hearts of palm, avocados, white corn, cilantro and cranberries.
"This is not just rabbit food. It's so rich," Pirnia said.
Top with dressing made from olive oil, white vinegar, mayo, tangerine and lemon juice. Add cayenne pepper for some extra spice.
Camelot also has a twist on an anti-lettuce salad. Take plain yogurt and whisk in oil and vinegar, then stir in diced cucumbers, dried mint, dried parsley, dried dill and raisins.
Camelot is a very healthy Easter bunny who could teach us all a lesson about eating right.
"They are the smartest animals that I've met," Pirnia said.
The authors of the cookbook Camelot's Kitchen are raising money for rabbit rescues. More than ten thousand pet bunnies are purchased at Easter every year and nearly half are released into the wild because people don't know how to care for them.

Steam Cleaners
I am looking for product recommendations for steam cleaners, the hard surface type of machine, not the carpet cleanine type. Anyone have any experience with any brand of these machines? What do you like about it and what don't you like about it. What surfaces have you used it on? Where did you buy it?
Does anyone have experience with general purpose steam cleaners,
such as the Euro-Pro Shark Steam-in-a-bottle? I searched the
BPN archives and couldn't find anything about this. I am
intrigued by the infomercials on TV. These steam cleaners would
be great to clean my house without chemicals and would be great
for cleaning my baby's toys. I looked at reviews online
(amazon.com, target.com) and the reviews for these types of
products are so mixed. Some people like them, some people say
they are horrible and don't work. My questions: does anyone
have experience with these steam cleaners? Do you like any of
them on the market? Why or why not? Are they worth buying?
Thanks so much!
I wonder if you have some experience with portable steamer, especially the Sharker one. I want to buy one for household cleaning. We have young kids around, so I want to avoid chemical if possible. Since it's quite expensive, I want to get some first-hand experience to help me make the decision. I hope it worth the $200 investment. Thanks Emily
I live in a very small apartment in Albany Village. We laid carpet, and it has gotten very stained. It's driving me crazy, but I'm tired of spending hours scrubbing with carpet cleaner. Can anyone reccommend a cheap option for getting it clean? Do you own a wet vaccuum that you're willing to "rent" to me for a fee or know of a very inexpensive service? There's hardly any floor space here once you factor in furniture, but the spotting is pretty bad and it's time for cleaning.

Return to the introduction to Megan's journal
October 11, 2005: This Is It
This is it. The last entry in my Writer's Journal. When I started charting my progress a little over a year ago, I didn't dream things would be so much the same—and also so different.
My book came out October 4th. I had grand plans to go out with my best friend, who was visiting from Portland, Oregon, and taking pictures of me and the book in all the Manhattan bookstores we could find. My son, unfortunately, took it upon himself to get sick that day, so I stayed home. At least my job—stay-at-home mom/romance writer—allowed me to be there while he lay on the couch and coughed.
I still like the book, still like the story, even occasionally chuckle at one of my heroine's dry asides. I received four stars from Romantic Times [nota bene: Because of its past reviewer policy, AAR cannot review my book.]; the RT reviewer liked my "powerful, sexy hero" and mentioned my "spunky heroine [who] is proud of being quite the bluestocking." The reviewer finishes by commenting, "This book is topped off with a dry wit that consistently finds its target."
To which I say, "yeah, baby."
The day the book came out, I was #1—briefly—on Amazon's top-selling Regency romances (which is probably as deep a list as Dickens' Three-Dimensional Characters, Hemingway's Thoughtful Portrayals of Women and Faulkner's Short Sentences.). I saved a copy of the web page just for self-serving pats on the back.
This past weekend, I attended the New Jersey Romance Writers' Conference. It was a weekend of firsts: meeting my now very good friend Myretta Robens in person for the first time, signing copies of my book for the first time, meeting people who'd read the words on my blog and in this journal for the first time. All in all, an excellent time was had by me. I've included a picture of my signing, too. Not so enlightening, but at least I don't think I look too stunned.
Because I am nothing if not goal-oriented, I made sure to meet a couple of deadlines along the way, too: I mailed a copy of the full manuscript of my mommy-lit to my agent. I wrote the synopsis, which I could only do after writing the full book. Damn me for writing by the seat of my pants! My agent will probably have loads of feedback for me to incorporate before she sends it on to my editor for a look. I have never minded murdering my darlings, as Stephen King calls it, and I expect my book will be even better after I cut and slash. I will, of course, let Laurie know if it sells, and you can always visit my blog for the painful minutiae.
And after all this, after the writing, and the selling, and the editing, and the angsting, I am committed to being a writer. If I succeed at it, I can work at a job that allows me to be there for my son during off-school hours—coughing or not—not to mention whittling away my enormous TBR pile in the sake of keeping up with current romance-writing trends. If I succeed at it, I will be doing something that keeps my brain sharp, engages my wit and humor as well as my English literature degree, something no Liberal Arts major can usually hope to accomplish. If I don't continue to succeed at it—and don't get me wrong, getting even one book published is very definitely succeeding at it—I will still have learned a lot, kept my brain sharp, met some amazingly cool people, and gotten to share my thoughts with you.
Thanks for reading.
-- Megan

Our 10 month old baby has a deep hemangioma in a highly visible
spot. We went to see a specialist at UCSF and she said we should
consider treating the hemangioma with an operation sometime in the
next 2 years ''before the baby is aware'' that people are repeatedly
responding to the hemangioma. I would love to hear from someone who
went ahead with the operation because, of course, it's hard to think
about putting our baby through even a relatively simple
operation. What were your considerations around age/time? What was
your experience of the operation? How successful was it?
Want To Do The Right Thing
Our 4 month old baby daughter has a strawberry hemangiona on her face, about one inch wide and quite puffy. our periatrician assures us that there is nothing to worry about, that it will go away, and there is no treatment for it. when i look up ''hemangiona'' it seems that statistics say it could take up to ten years for it to go away. that worries me. if anyone reading this has had experience with their child having a strawberry heangiona, i would love to hear about how long it lasted etc. thank you very much. fd
It can be quite frightening and upsetting but please rest assured that they do fade, and they do go away. My son is almost 4 now and we LOVE his spot! His face has grown and matured and it's nearly gone but we just see it as part of him and a little reminder of his infancy. I think we will be truly sad when the spot is completely gone because we think it is just so cute like the rest of him.
When his sister showed up we joked with him - hey? where's her spot? and my husband and I have found various discolorations on ourselves to point out, see - Mama has a spot on her tummy, Daddy has a spot on his leg. Please know however, that our lightheartedness about the whole think was a slow transition over the last few years. But you will adjust as the spot fades and your child grows. I'd check into finding that specialist at UCSF and start getting some treatments early on. It will get better with time.
To me the social/psychological ramifications are as important as the medical. Until past the age of 3 NOT A SINGLE CHILD ever teased or said a mean word to my child. She went to daycare and pre-school had plenty of friends; she is exremely outgoing and socially confident (much more so than her parents!)
BUT the problem was the adults. Almost every single day an adult would ask me in front of her ''what happened to her?'' ''What's wrong with her'' etc. And all this for a birthmark. My husband and I were often enraged and tried to figure out ways to forestall comments but this was not always possible. Also, many well meaning people in stores for example would ask my daughter ''did you fall down?'' she would just be confused until she was mature enough to answer. It was just incredible to me since no one would walk up to an adult they don't know and ask ''what's wrong with you?'' etc.
A little after the age of three I noticed some children would ask my daughter about it. They were kids in parks etc. not kids at her school. But there were always friendly and simply curious. They never teased. Still I wish we had had the surgery maybe 1 year to 6 months earlier for this reason. anon
Does anyone know of a good pediatric dermatologist in the East Bay? My 10 week old daughter has two hemangiomas on her face. I would like to get a second opinion about possible treatment options as I have been told to let them grow bigger for a year and hope that they then fade away. Anyone have experience with a child with this vascular birthmark?
Hi We are parents of 13 months twin girls. Unfortunately, one of our daughter's developed a hemangioma on the left side of her cheek at three weeks old. We have been lucky enough to have the *best* care availble. Dr Freiden at UCSF and now we see Dr. Reinisch in LA. We live in Berkeley but will go LA for a follow up surgery in May. I would like to meet other families who are experincing or have experienced Hemangioma - just to talk:). anon
In fact, I believe my research came up w/the physician you're seeing in LA. I guess I probably sound like a broken record to you (as other moms and my umpteen physician's sounded to me) - it will go away, not disappear.
I was, probably like you, obsessed w/his hemangioma. I thought it would be disfiguring and he would be picked on. Now he barely gets any comments and he only very recently started noticing it himself.
Today his hemangioma is 70% involuted, more than 50% skin color (vs. deep, deep red) and if I close my eyes and rub my fingers across it, I can't tell there's any skin disruption. Terry
Can anyone recommend anything to lighten a brown birthmark? Thank you
My 15 month old son has a hemangioma or strawberry mark on his forehead. It's the size of a half-dollar coin. I am doing research on various options, including steroid injections and/or laser surgery. His current pediatric dermatologist is highly regarded, yet she's very conservative in her approach to treating his hemangioma. I am seeking surgeons who have had great success with removing hemangiomas on children with little or no scarring. If at all possible, I would like to consult with a surgeon who is affiliated with UCSF or Stanford, but am more interested in a surgeon who has specific experience with these kinds of cases. Thanks in advance for any leads. Terry
Our daughter is well adjusted, popular at school, and probably stronger than she would be otherwise. On the other hand I understand the desire to want to do all that you can to make life easier for your child, we had the same approach. However, the actual treatments can be quite stressful for the child, something we weren't prepared for really, and to this day we wonder whether they had a more negative impact on our child than the birthmark itself. The doctors insisted that we had to do this before there was any melanin build up so we went with the program. Since putting children under anesthesia is not recommended at younger ages, she was awake, strapped down and blindfolded during treatment. As you can imagine it was quite awful and absolutely frightening for her. I would be happy to discuss this in further detail with you, and talk about the social, medical and other issues that we experienced.

Buying a new laptop
With a new financial year comes new gadgets. For me, this means a new laptop to replace the slowly-dying dinosaur weighing down my backpack.
Tech has come a long way since I last made a laptop purchase. I paid a princely sum for the 64 bits and 6GB of RAM Dell I'm carrying around today. Worth it? I think so. It's given me a good couple of years, despite a dropping a hard drive and a 2GB RAM stick. It still chugs along, but it's time for a change.
So what to get?
Here are my requirements:
- Thin and light – call it an ultrabook if you want, but I just want something I can carry without back-pain.
- At least 8GB RAM – I'll want to be able to run Visual Studio, SQL Server, and maybe even a VM or two. 8GB is my acceptable minimum.
- An SSD hard disk – surely I don't need to spell this out.
- USB 3.0 – This will let me compliment the SSD with decent storage with decent speeds.
- Fairly good screen resolution – at least 900px high I think. My current 768px really annoys me.
- Either 13″ or 15″ – this is my preferred size for a workable laptop.
So what's on offer?
Well, it turns out not much. The only laptop that really fits the bill in every respect appears to be the new 13″ MacBook Air.
Now I'm clearly not a Mac user so I'd love to hear an alternative if you have one. However, rest assured that if you point me at a Windows machine that nearly meets those specs – I've almost certainly seen and dismissed it.
So why would I pay the "Apple-Tax" if I'm not a Mac user? It's a good question, so here are my current justifications:
- What's the alternative? – Honestly, I haven't seen any Windows laptop that meets every one of the requirements above. Should I just compromise somewhere? Just to avoid getting a Mac? I'm not that anti-Apple. And sure, I could always wait for the next version of X, but that's a never-ending game.
- Macs can boot into Windows just fine – So if I'm going to boot into Windows, why buy a Mac? Firstly, for reason #1 above. Secondly, maybe I'll want to wrap an HTML5 app in PhoneGap and deploy to the app store… Who knows 🙂
- Recommendations from friends – many people I know use a MacBook as their primary device and spend most of their time either in Windows (using BootCamp) or using Windows software (using Parallels or VMWare Fusion). Without exception, they're full of glowing praise. Not, "yeah, it's pretty good", but usually, "it's the best laptop I've ever had by a mile".
Ultimately it comes down to one question for me: If, after 6 months, I never boot into OSX, have I made the wrong decision? Based on the three points above, I'm fairly confident the answer is no.
I know some people feel pretty strongly about this so I'd love your comments. If you think I'm about to make a mistake, let me know why! Seriously. I might even listen.

Small college towns provide an intriguing atmosphere for those that live it. I'm not talking about the bar scene that almost every student will flock to on any given day of the week. Rather, I mean the "mom-and-pop" businesses that line each block throughout the town - even more specifically, the small dose of independent bookstores that find their home in the nooks, crannies, and side streets that one might stumble across walking a new route to class. They are the places that give small towns more character than any corporate chain will, and are the ones that townspeople love to support. Cogitare Books was one is those places.
Cogitare (Coh-ji-tar-ee) Books in Menomonie, Wis., was a small bookstore that housed mostly first editions of various book genres. Unfortunately it closed in late 2013, but not before multiple visits and purchases made by me and other book lovers in the area. I discovered a novel called Eating Chinese Food Naked by Mei Ng at Cogitare Books, thanks in part to my innate ability to peruse the entirety of a bookstore from front to back, top to bottom. While it was hidden in the biography section of the store, it is actually considered realistic fiction. Even so, it pulls many details from Ng's personal life and experiences.
Eating Chinese Food Naked, Ng's authorial debut, begins with an all too familiar situation: the Chinese narrator and main character Ruby Lee has just graduated from college (Columbia, no less) and finds herself moving back to her parent's home behind/attached to a laundry in Queens, New York City. It is only for the summer, or so she tells herself, but dealing with her parents - the tyrannical, cigar-smoking Franklin who bullies his constantly cooking wife, Bell - it seems like a claustrophobic lifetime.
As we read, we find ourselves discovering the generation gap between members of a modern Chinese family. From the traditional ways of her parents, to the modern, more American lifestyle of Ruby and her siblings, we as readers face Ng's words with familiarity and understanding. Although some of us do not have the same active sex drive as Ruby, we all know what it's like to battle our parents because they just don't understand how things are or how the younger generation functions. Despite their differences, Ruby's ever-strong love for her mother causes her to defend her on numerous occasions throughout the summer, as well as trying to get Bell out from under Franklin's persistently demeaning commentary and overall thumb. At the same time, Ruby herself is facing her own personal issues, including but not limited to her relationship with her (non-Chinese) boyfriend, her employment situation as a temp, and wanting to retain the independence and sense of self that she worked so hard to build while away at school.
Although entirely relatable, the story as written by Mei Ng is a bumpy one. Not only does the narrative jump from topic to topic throughout its entirety, which is understandably just how life progresses as well, it also bounces between various perspectives and sometimes even in chronology. Much of the story is told by Ruby and her adjustments to life at home; however, from time to time and most likely for back story's sake, we begin to read tidbits from Bell or Franklin's point of view. This does not make the story horrible by any means, but it can make it difficult at times to keep up with and/or it can be remotely disruptive of the current narrative at whatever point it is placed in the book. Back story is a great written tactic for fiction, but I feel as though the execution in Eating Chinese Food Naked didn't improve the novel as well as it could have.
Sadly, Eating Chinese Food Naked is not a very memorable book. The only redeeming quality for me personally was that I am in the exact same situation as Ruby as a college graduate, and quite a handful of the interactions between Ruby and her parents are similar to those I have experienced myself. I was able to sympathize with Ruby, but I felt like I spent the majority of the novel waiting for something to happen. Not necessarily a fairytale ending or some epic climax, just... something that never took place. It can be explained as something that makes this novel entirely contemporary, in that not every story or experience has a life-changing zenith or a finalizing conclusion. Nonetheless, it is a novel that I am still able to draw inspiration and advice from despite its setbacks.
Eating Chinese Food Naked reminded me of my own quirks and how parents have the innate ability to not understand said quirks. Upon reading this book, I was able to better realize and appreciate my parents for being generally supportive of me and my endeavors, and I discovered, in spite of all the things I (or likewise, Ruby) have been through, even the smallest victories are still victories and a step towards something better. And that's truly what matters in my experiences with this book.

Released: Mar 01st, 2003
Running Time: 119
Company: West Coast Productions Platinum
Cast: Michael Stefano, Sin Star, Mark Wood, Cherokee (I), Brett Rockman, Jasmine Lynn, Juliana Kincaid, Joli Coeur
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Stefano's fans will pick this up in a flash.
The heat is good in this edition of the very reliable hardcore series, with the scenes that Stefano appears in being the sparkly bits.
At the beginning of this great vid, Cherokee fills her twat methodically with a mammoth black dildo before taking Michael Stefano on. She looks nasty and hot as she's sucking the toy while riding Stefano in reverse cowgirl.
Joli Coeur's scene is a standout here. Stefano fucks her throat good and deep before he puts her in doggie and finger-fucks her cunt and ass, coating her holes with his spit. He fucks her with his cock and a huge blue sparkly dildo, and shoots his load right in her mouth. She pushes it out her lips in a frothy, foamy, spermy, memorable mess.
Jasmine Lynn does a great intro with anal beads, before her Stefano reaming. She is rendered into an ass-gaping, squeaky fuck tool by Stefano's cock in her ass and a large dong in her twat.

I customized my UI months ago when MoP first came out. Now I've shifted from PvE to primarily PvP and it just feels like a mess. What is the best healer UI package out there?
I customized my UI months ago when MoP first came out. Now I've shifted from PvE to primarily PvP and it just feels like a mess. What is the best healer UI package out there?
A really good setup would be
ElvUI [I don't much like the original look, I used Skullflower]
Vuhdo [Figure out how to use it and keep your setup forever]
Those are about all you need
Another cool UI is Qulight
Hello everyone. I would like to get peoples honest opinions on my Healing UI. I have changed the raid frames and usually there would not be an empty gap in the raid frames but in this screen shot 4 people left the group so not the best image:
I have just uploaded a YouTube video about how to install it but the actual footage of it is right near the end. It shows my Setup addon and Bonus Features Window if your interested
MayronUI Gen2 [Setup Guide]: WoW User Interface Replacement Pack
I have been lately messing with my UI, doing some stuff, and ended up like this:
I use:
- LUI v3
- Bartender
- TellMeWhen
- Skada
- Grid (+plugins like SideIcons, ManaBar, Roles, ...)
- CoolLine (the line of cooldowns below my name)
I guess having my grid raidframes on the other side of my screen is a result of me having started to raid on a Macbook that was 13', everything was cropped up. And now that I've swapped to a 'real' gaming computer plus screen, I've had it like this ever since. I suppose it helps to skim the whole area when raiding and preventing me from going tunnel vision mode.

" Reserving judgements is a matter of infinite hope. "
I use something very similar to the one above, mostly default UI as well
Well the only thing indicating that it is Elv was the tooltip on the bottom right side of the screen shot. I didn't know that TipTac could also look like Elv...with lua perhaps. Also the XP bar colour really reminded me of Evl.
It just seemed to me to look a lot like TipTac, though using another one at the moment I did not have any immediate reference to compare to.

Now that she's forsaken full-blown musicals, Maria Friedman is becoming the Queen of Cabaret. Unfussilly directed by David Babani, Friedman's solo show is yet another West End transfer for his Menier Chocolate Factory.
The impeccable song book is drawn from such disparate composers as Sondheim and Kate Bush, each of which has been subtly rearranged. There is no classier show in the West End. And I don't think I've ever heard the award-winning Friedman sing better.

The Season 5 premiere of "Pretty Little Liars" was filled with unexpected events. Fans were shown Ezra alive, but Aria was put into a place no one saw coming. Several other elements were introduced, including the little army Mona is building. Several familiar faces were in the meeting with Mona and her minions. According to a June 12 report from Wetpaint, Marlene King is hinting at the fact that Mona's army is not the "A-team." Fans are confused about what purpose the army is serving, especially since Lucas, Melissa, and Paige are all part of it.
As you look at the culprits for "A," the list is dwindling. Since Lucas, Melissa, Mona, and Paige are part of the anti-Ali army, the belief among fans is they are not "A." Shana was killed by Aria at the theater, but she was only part of the team, not the mastermind. So where does that leave fans trying to solve the mystery of who "A" really is?
The Twitter feed for "PLLSeAson5" is buzzing with different theories about who "A" is, and the shock about Shana being part of the "A-team." Right now Jenna is at the forefront of the suspect list because of her connections to Toby and Shana. Ali blinded Jenna and felt no remorse about the accident, even going as far as taunting her. Wren is also another suspect high on the list. Fans are waiting for his return.
So many things are promised for Season 5, and fans cannot wait to find out what Marlene King has in store for the liars. "Pretty Little Liars" got picked up for two more seasons, so it is safe to say the mystery of "A" will continue. Start scratching names off the list to narrow the suspects down because this season is going to reveal a lot.
