I definitely agree with some of the other comments here that so much of the magazine seems like it is for younger women, especially the makeup and fashion pages. Also, I applaud 'successful' women, but not every woman is not someone with a title, corner office and six figure salary. I want to hear about more 'average' women like myself. Success doesn't have to be defined by money or a job or some publicly acclaimed accomplishment. What about those women? I don't really care for your featured celebrity articles either. I can't really relate to them; they live in a different world from me altogether.
One last comment -- I love design, layout, fonts and the like, but I have to say that I find your Beautybook pages extremely too busy and hard to read. By 'busy' I mean too many different fonts, headers, too many little pieces all competing for my eye on a single page and they are hard to actually read sometimes! (my over-50 eyes don't read the ulta fine print as good as they use to). Those pages come across as more like advertising pages then actual relevant substance in your magazine. I don't plan to renew my subscription when it expires for all the above reasons. If I wanted to read Vogue or Cosmopolitan, I'd buy them. I subscribed to More because I thought it would provide relevant information to my age group; I have only found one article in all these months that I could relate to.
After reading the winner of who should play Christian Grey, of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, all I can say is wrong, wrong, wrong! Ryan Goseling has nothing on Simon Baker of "the Mentalist". Good lord, look at him, think of him with "dark copper colored hair", yikes! I think jeans would hang on him just right........
I enjoy the More articles. I would love more articles about women who choose to not wear make up.
After reading numerous comments below, I am not sure that MORE mag is listening! I too have many of the same complaints...the magazine has moved away from what 40+ women want and into a political rag. Now I do enjoy some parts of the magazine such as info on Kyra Sedgwick; stages of menopause; and a few others. However, I want more health info; fashion related to 40+ plus women in different sizes (I think the models in the mag must all be size 4 or below); more in-depth financial info instead of a one-page gloss-over; real diet plans and exercise plans showing REAL READERS who have followed the info and succeeded; and etc.
I am not sure why I continue to subscribe to the magazine when the web page provides more in-depth material related to what I am looking for in a 40+ magazine for REAL WOMEN!
are there any over 40 conservite women out there? Here's a thought, anyone not on board with abortion? Let's have a story about this and the right of our religious freedom that is being threatened...the 1st amendment is for everyone not just for the women who want everything handed to them because they have a uterus!! I am a woman and I think my 1st amendment rights are in danger of being taken away....I think our forefathers would be turning over in their graves at this one!!!
I, too, have been receiving MORE, and; at first enjoyed it and seriously considered purchasing a subscription - but the issue with the Andrea Mitchell article sent me over the top. Quite a few years ago while reading my monthly Vogue, there was an article about a family who lived in China and upon returning to the USA, allowed their children to diss our country by burning our flag at a family gathering and could not understand why they were upset. The magazine was sympathetic. I wrote a letter to Vogue and cancelled my subscription - the same I am doing now. I have been getting notices to subscribe, but will not do so now. You people in the media just don't get it. We are on to you and your liberal indoctrination and I, for one, do not have to subscribe to a magazine whose views I am opposed to or at the very least give readers an opposing viewpoint. We are being beat over the heads on a daily basis with political viewpoints from movie stars and all forms of media - almost every series on TV and the theatres want to hammer us and our children (antimated movies) with political messages. For goodness sake - give it a rest and a "read" I can enjoy.
I'm a water reader..bathtub, beach, pool. I bounded out of the tub excited to comment on July/August issue. UGGG..no section to be found to comment on this issue!!!
And I have so much to say. Even tried to click on the comment connection..got a white blank screen.
While I found the article on Hilary Clinton in the April issue interesting, I couldn't help but notice that the author seems to be writing for an audience of a different generation, using words like "glamform", "ginormous", and telling us how the reporters were "bitching" about the dress code in Burma. EDITORS TAKE NOTICE-this reader has a proper education, and does not appreciate being dumbed down in this manner. Please DO NOT hire writers younger than 40 if possible, they cannot express themselves in ways a mature women can even understand. If this writer (Lisa DePaulo)is of More Generation age, then shame on her for such lazy writing. And shame on More editors for allowing such sophomoric writing to make it to print. It is unprofessional to use words such as these in a published piece, and a sad commentary on the direction of our education system.
I have been so excited reading the April and May issues. I felt that both had articles truly written for someone like me. Even though I don't care for Hillary Clinton, I enjoyed the article about her travels to Burma, which turned out to be very interesting. I scooped up the June issue to take with me this week on a trip to Scotland, and boy, I'm very disappointed. The article on Andrea Mitchell has just reduced my view of your magazine to just another liberal mouthpiece. Honestly, can't you find a way to represent the real American woman? Many of us are Christian mothers, who believe in women's rights to healthcare, but don't agree that abortion should be a form of birth control. And while I'm not catholic, I don't believe that people should be forced to do something that is against their religion, such as forced provision of birth control. That is freedom of choice and freedom of religion, not ignorance. The point is, Sandra Fluke can get her own damn birth control because she will earn more than any of us once she graduates. Please, either stay away from your Obama worship, or provide fair and balanced reporting. I don't think i can subscribe until then. What a pity!
Have Tote, Will Carry
A plastic tote for $1,345! Honestly? My mouth actually dropped open when I saw this.
So disappointing. Another fashion and health magazine cannot help itself but to wander neck deep into the political arena. When I purchased this subscription, I thought I was getting a magazine about health, fashion and working advice for woman my age (43). I am a mother, a wife and a doctor who dedicates her life to women's health. I purchase your magazine to get AWAY from politics, which is everywhere. The story by Christina Bellantoni on Andrea Mitchell was appalling and so one-sided. She attacked Foster Friess for his reprehensible comments (which they were) against a liberal woman but was SILENT (as was Obama, NOW and other 'women's' groups) when Bill Maher called Sarah Palin A "cunt " and said Bristal Palin was "fuc*ed so hard a baby fell out." Where was her outrage then? Mitchell didn't call out her own colleague Ed Schultz at MSNBC when he called Laura Ingraham a "right wing slut". Finally, it was never mentioned in your article, nor brought up by Bellantoni that Andrea Mitchell had to publicly apologize for calling voters in Virginia "rednecks". This type of bias is so tiresome. Is this the best More can do? This sad, selective protection of liberals is shameful. Such comments have no place in a civilized society, whether it be against a liberal or a conservative. Shame on Andrea Mitchell , Bellantoni and MORE magazine. I used to put my magazines in the waiting room for patients to enjoy, now they will go in the recycle bin. Canceling subscription.
I read with great interest the article on "Lethal Weapon". Prescription drug ab use is an epidemic in the United States. As a nurse, I have been educating physicians in the use of a DNA testing that indicates propensity toward addition as well as whether the specific narcotic is being metabolized within the patient's system. This testing has been a tool for physicians to address a patients addiction genetically as well as get them to the medication that will be the most helpful. These "accidental addicts" are the result of not monitoring patients that are on narcotics and/or street drugs. We need to continue to educate physicians in this arena and proscecute those that do not follow evidence based medical protocol when it comes to narcotic prescriptions.
The work being done by Christi Hegranes (June 2012) is truly inspirational. She is giving a voice to women in societies where they have heretofore been silenced. Her contribution to the world's disenfranchised cannot be overstated.
Now, on a lighter note...I would love to see more fashion options for the 60+ woman. Let's face it, women in their 40s can still wear pretty much anything. At 62, even though I weigh 115 lbs. there are styles that I just can't wear anymore. There is an extremely fine line between dressing matronly and dressing "too young". Your magazine could provide a real service to the many women of a "certain age" who want to look stylish AND appropriate, especially those of us who cannot afford designer fashions.
I love the concept of MORE magazine. Having an insightful and tasteful magazine option would be very refreshing. However, I'm afraid that this is just another example of media being completely one-sided. What happened to the responsibility of a journalist to cover all sides of the issues and be unbiased? As a subscriber I've been waiting to see a sign that the editor realizes that not all women are democrats. There are woman of style and substance who are republicans too. I've always been very open to differing viewpoints and would like to see representation from all sides in this magazine. This is of course only because this magazine has chosen to immerse itself into polical issues. If it's a problem with finding writers who are willing to cover the "other" side, then consider this my informal request for a job. Otherwise I would suggest staying out of politics altogether. Comments from others on this board imply that I am not alone in this observasion. After reading "Return of the gender card", June 2012, I was offended on so many levels I wouldn't even know where to start. When Andrea Mitchell "weighs in on women voters mounting concerns", she doesn't speak for me.
As I looked at the cover of More's June issue, I wondered who that woman was. Madeleine Stowe was produced and styled to the point of being unrecognizable. If she's had cosmetic surgery done, which it looks like she had, it's left her quite changed. Then I turn to page 52 to read about how different and grounded she is...except for the photo of her spread across the front seat of a convertible like a Senior version of Playmate of the Month! I'm not a prude and I certainly think women of all ages can be sexy, but this is ridiculous. It's not that she's 53, it's that she's allowed her return to Hollywood to suck her into its "Forever 25" vortex. Madeleine, wake up! You can be a success without giving into the hoards of stylists demanding you become this distortion of real beauty. Or can you? My advice? Go back to that Texas ranch where I am sure, you'll find the real beauty of life.
I am so encouraged by Kathy O and Hilary Jones' comments and insight.... I am a professional working Mom and I subscribed to more because I wanted to grab a magazine that was age appropriate, but I am questioning this MORE and MORE. Your readers are NOT ALL LIBERALS. WE ARE ALSO REBULICAN WOMEN WHO CAN VOTE AND THINK FOR OURSELVES. Being Republican and fiscally conservative does not mean we are rascist or bigots. I am a minority woman with a family that includes all the colors of the rainbow and mORE....and I don't need the likes of Andrea Mitchell to TEACH ME ABOUT MY ROLE AS A WOMAN.
I am flabbergasted with MORE's interview with Andrea Mitchell. How about presenting the facts instead of falsely implying that women's access to contraception is in danger of being taken away? The real issues are:
1)expecting taxpayers to fund contraception and
2)mandating that religious institutions go aginst their beliefs to provide contraception to employees. I am a wife and mother who worked inside and outside the home for 34 years while raising 2 children. When I chose to use birth control I paid for it myself. Why should the 'Sandra Flukes' of the country expect taxpayers to cover this? I was under the impression that MORE magazine was directed toward grown up women. Real feminists and empowered women do not look to the government to take care of there every need. If women are concerned about anything it is the very real threat to individual and religious liberty from the politicians Andrea Mitchell and MORE magazine so obviously support.
I just finished reading your article about the 5 dermatologists' skin care regiments in your June 2012 issue. I was so disappointed to read that all 5 used some type of injections to keep their youthful looks. I am 63, retired and loving every minute of it. There is so much more to life than than looking like we are 35!
I have been a long time subscriber to your magazine, but I am increasinglly getting frustrated by it. While I always find something of value in it, I feel, like some others here, that it is less for "me". While I love Anna Quindlen, her piece left me a bit underwhelmed. While I agree with her that being of her generationand about the same age, I am more "me" than I may have been when younger and more comfortable in my skin. I can't say that I am happier than ever. Like a lot of fiftysomething women I know, I am financially stressed, do not have enough saved for retirement, and am worried about my college aged child and my aging parent. She and your editorial staff in general seem to live in a nice upper class cocoon, I would love to be in, but have no hope of getting to barring winning the lottery. I just skimmed the just arrived issue, and about choked about the necessity of having a $300 cashmire wrap for a plane flight. Really? If your subscription rates are dropping, it's because you are ignoring the reality that most of us are living in.
MORE keeps wading deeper and deeper into the political arena, seeming to not understand that many of your readers do not purchase the magazine for political commentary especially when it is so one-sided. Reading your interview with Andrea Mitchell from the June 2012 issue, one would think it was a paid advertisement from the Democratic Party. I truly hope MORE readers look beyond one-sided political fluff pieces like that. Women's rights are NOT being threatened by any candidates or any party. The issue is NOT reproductive rights, the issue is, does government have the right to force private insurance companies or businesses to pay for any procedure or medication? No one in Washington is trying to keep contraceptives out of the hands of women. I have worked for both private industry and government during my career. Some employers paid for contraception, others did not. If any particular aspect of health benefits are of paramount importance to you, then you need to review the benefits before accepting a job. Contraception is widely available for little cost through public health facilities for women without insurance. The democratic party grabbed onto this issue like a life raft when conservative candidate Santorum, a devout Catholic, expressed his thought that the government should not force businesses or their insurance carriers to pay for contraception. Period. Besides the fact that it was never about women not having access to contraception, Santorum has been out of the race for a long time.
This particular piece in MORE is truly disgraceful. While I do not agree with Andrea Mitchell's political leanings, throughout her career she has covered many important leaders and issues. But MORE chooses to feature Mitchell, during an eleciton year no less, with a highly-charged, misleading story that seems to have come straight out the Democratic, re-elect Obama playbook. SHAME ON YOU.
I appreciated Corbyn Hightower's essay, "Broke but Not Broken," in the May 2012 issue. Hightower's fall from wealth to poverty resonated with me. I come from the real estate industry surrounded by never-ending opulence until the mortgage crisis hit in 2008. It's ironic to see how many of my colleagues who used to tease me for driving my old battered up Ford Escort with no power windows selling their Mercedes and BMWs for second hand cars like mine. The fall from wealth to poverty is often preceded by hubris. Hightower's humbling essay shows it is never too late to embrace where you are without judgment and to accept others in spite of their socio-economic status. Thanks for sharing another illuminating nugget with us.
If it's one thing I've learned, it's that everyone has an opinion. We are all entitled to one. We don't have to agree with anyone else's opinion, but I think the idea is to be respectful of it. You can't possibly please all the people all the time. Whatever speaks to your soul...take THAT from the magazine. Whatever you don't agree with, simply dismiss.
I too was taken aback when I saw Chelsea Handler on the cover and also wanted to throw the issue in the trash. I don't mind controversy but when a woman disparages another woman constantly for the supposed enjoyment, she is nothing but a BULLY. And you became her pulpit. If this is the direction that the magazine is going, please let your readers know by having the Kardashian mother on your May issue.
I was very disappointed to see Chelsea Handler on the cover of More magazine. Quite frankly, I wanted to trash it immediately as it polluted the pages of a magazine that I thought was a little more tssteful. If Chelsea represents a woman of "style and substance," in America, then this country really is doomed! I have no more else to say!
Hey, I'm happy about Chelsea Handler on the cover even though she's 37! I'm one who gets annoyed with the vast spotlight on those under 50 -- as a nearly 58 year old. But, while I occasionally find her over the top, by and large I enjoy her and her directness. (Please don't take this as permission to feature Sarah Silverman though.
I'm also happy to see some clothes that aren't over the top expensive, especially in the piece about "slimming" outfits. Thank you for that -- I noticed.
But here' my idea, pretty please: How about an issue with a focus on job search when you're over 55? Not to talking about freelancers or creatives, or the whole "I gave it all up to find myself and start an artisanal cheese business." I'm talking corporate stuff. I was laid off in March, and while I've got hopes it is a whole 'nother ball game to be looking for managerial work at my age. Fortunately, I have a good track record, dyed hair and I'm in shape. But I swear to God, if being an early widow wasn't enough (husband died 4 years ago and as a creative guy left no money), being laid off at this age is just another kick in the pants. Oh, and I have a daughter who's a freshman in college so it's not like I can sell up and decide to join the Peace Corp.
I would LOVE a fashion spread on updating your look to read modern and closer to 45 than 65 (affordable, please, clothes/hair/makeup), approaches to the job market, all of that stuff.
And you can follow up with an article on find true love when you're closer to 69 than 40. Or being widowed.
I'm writing to say that I am canceling my subscription to More. I can't tell you how usappointed I am in this magazine for featuring such a passive aggressive bullying female as Chelsea Handler as cover subject, with the ridiculous assertion that she's a 'nice,' person. She may be crazy like a fox, for name dropping and attacking yet again, the most famous woman in the world Angelina Jolie to stir up controversy and garner interest in this banal 'More,' cover story of hers, but most of us can see this for what it is, a blatant cruel attempt to character assassinate a young woman she does not know. The fact that More stands by, and essentially sets up the pins so handler can knock them down (gee Chelsea, just who isn't an example of a 'girl's girl' in your opinion?) - encouraging her bullying snide remarks re Angelina Jolie is disgusting. Chelsea handler is a bully, and not a nice person - she certainly isn't someone I'd want as a friend. That said, I also think it's unethical of you to not reveal that Handler only became a friend of Aniston's a year or two ago when her longtime bestie who doubles as her equally long term power PR flack, signed Handler to his stable of banal mediocre petty actresses. That's when she stopped attacking and ridiculing Aniston, and started her vicious attacks on Angelina. It's clear, this kind of public slander and attack is designed to hurt Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their young family which I find shameful, dsgusting and hurtful. It's clear to anyone with a brain that Handler is Aniston and her power PR's hired hit woman, or make that Pitt bull. She doesn't know Jolie, and neither does Aniston. This continued hateful obsession by them is manipulative and dirty, and extremely transparent. More's participation in this subversive hit on a young mom and humanitarian, to beef up such petty bitter resentful losers (Aniston, Handler) is a clear sign you have no business in my reading selections, or my home. It was crass, tacky and low class, but no surprise considering the source. What IS a surprise is More's tacit encouraging approval and being an accomplice to such a bully.
I canceled my More sub yrs ago over your Democrat views...
Why did I come back? Now I see one or two GOP make it in... But Michelle Obama on cover and THEN Chelsea Handler too - GAG. No more More.
Of all the women in THE WORLD Chelsea Chandler makes your cover?! Is there anything to convet about HER? She represents valgarity, booze, and slutdom. her favoriate pastime is shocking us with talk of anal sex. Thanks More.
And Editor Mededith has lunch with Ar Huffington??? Enough said. Please cancel my subscription... Jeanine Shonk, Orient Ohio.
I have been disappointed by the last two issues - I found not many articles that relate to everyday/my life as an over forty woman. Also, it is hard to read - plain and simple - the font of the print is TOO SMALL. Is there anyone else out there that has a hard time just reading the magazine? I can't be the only one....
As a reader in her 50s, my memory of women's magazines is quite long. I yearn for MORE to move in the editorial direction of the defunct Mirabella and Mademoiselle magazines. There's a void since the voices of Grace Mirabella and Amy Cooper Levin left the publishing scene. Everything about those publications were art, from the photography to the typography to the headlines. Would love to see MORE nurture a stable of truly fine writers, hire the best fashion photographers in the business, focus less on you're-over-40-and-that's-ok. Forty is the new 20. We get it. Kick it up a few notches, please. Your magazine is enjoyed, but there's a need for more sophistication for female audiences that's not being taken care of in any other publication.
Please continue to include interviews with inspirational personalities, Hillary Clinton, in your magazine. Intelligent articles about intelligent women makes for a balanced "more."
It was the first story I read in this issue.
Would like to see a bit of architecture and other arts represented, as well as polital personalities that are influential in women's issues.
I enjoy your magazine but take issue with the April issue's article titled "These outfits only look expensive"...both outfits total more than $700 each! What planet are your fashion editors living on when they think that $700 is not expensive?? Please take into consideration your average reader and make your fashion picks a bit more affordable.
I've been reading your magazine since I was about 35. I love it. But, it would be nice to see a regular feature column that adds a little humour. I mention this as I came across a blog the other day where More is mentioned! It's essentially a humourous take on a woman approaching 40 called "endofadecade.wordpress.com" (More was mentioned in the blog post "Lawd-Ah-Mussy!") I think readers will get a kick out of it!!

Although your ads are getting better, I'm still offended by the use of teen/20's models. This is a magazine for 40+ women and surely you can get your advertisers to use models of the appropriate age range. I'm sick of "how to look 10 years younger" articles and ads. I'm 55, look near that age, will never, without surgery, look ten years younger. I do appreciate the latest research on how to care for my skin correctly. But, ads not aimed at your stated age group of readers is irksome. Let's truly celebrate the aging process. If you don't want to draw women readers in the 50+ range, then continue aiming everything at youth.
I've been reading and enjoying MORE for several years, and am compelled by your February 2012 issue to write this first comment to you. I read the article "Who owns our DNA anyway" with considerable annoyance. First, this is an unfolding story and I strongly believe that you owe it to your readers to publish an update letting them know that the Supreme Court has now ruled, in Myriad's favor. Second, while I appreciate your efforts at balanced journalism in this piece, as an intellectual property lawyer, I think you came up short and instead published a piece that actually (temporarily!) had a chilling effect on me and my wish to comment. There are lots of superb women who have made a career in IP law, including in biotech and the life sciences. I would love to see you include a profile on one of these women in a future issue (hopefully the one in which you publish the Supreme Court decision in the Myriad case!). For ideas, I suggest that you check with Women in Bio (wib.org).
By the way, fabulous picture of Mrs. O on the cover, and great story about her mentoring program for teen girls.
This magazine use to be great, really spoke to the age group it is targeted for, however today I read that a short haircut over 50 is "giving up", that the only shoes worth putting in the magazine cost an average of $900.00 each, and that wearing a $265.00 sweater on the weekends is normal!!!
Really?? Your lack of any pictures that flatter women, except celebs speaks volumes. Since when do we have to look like celebs? Is this People mag?
I have bought subscriptions to this magazine for gifts, and subscribed myself. No more More. If I want to be judged as "giving up" over a haircut this is not the magazine for me.
I just wanted to respond to a statement made in your February issue that Crohn's disease is "not life threatening." Although it is rare, I do know someone who died of Crohn's disease due to severe weight loss. Out of respect for her, I wanted to point that out.
i am very disappointed Mrs. Obama is on your cover as we are in the middle of a the campaign season....it appears your are pushing the current administration.....if it continues as much as I love this magazine because of the focus on older women I will cancel my subscription....i am a Republican and very proud that I am....political views have no place in a womens magazine...unless you warned me in advance this is a magazine for Democrats.
This has to be the most offensive cover you could have created. I received it the day after Obama's State of the Union (campaign) speech where he touts his presidency as a platform to speak down to the American people who (like me) own businesses, create jobs, pay for our children's college and have a tax rate that includes both personal and company taxes. Those of us who have never relied on nor asked the Government for any assistance, but took advantage of every opportunity we have had to work and create our own lifestyle. The fact that the Obama's continually use their position to promote their grandiosity is unprecedented and sickening. You should be ashamed for participating in their narcissist self-promotion at the expense of all that our country stands for. Cancel my subscription and cease all correspondence.
I really related to the Editor's letter in the Dec/Jan issue referring to work/life balance. Widowed when my daughter was 4 I was a working, full time college student. The school where my daughter went had a short day on Wed. where they got out an hour early. You don't know how many times that I would forget that it was Wed. and be the last parent there to pick up my child. I would feel like a horrible mommy.
Now I do have it all. An intelligent, beautiful 21 year old who is in college. A career that is rewarding and challenging and from which I get to work from home (only for the last year but it is heaven). A life filled with wonderful people and great times!
I can't think of another time when I've ever written a magazine to comment on an article so this is definitely a first. Not only do I adore Queen Latifah and love her on the cover of the Dec/Jan issue but I was so moved by Michelle Blake's real-life article about How Much Money is Ever Enough, I had to tell you about it. I am an ardent follower of More but many of the articles are just impractical to my circumstances or stage in life, however Michelle's really hit home in a practical, I-can-relate-to-that way. Well done and thank you.
I like the features such as "50 Perfect Gifts All Under $50" in the December/January issue. However, as a subscriber nearing 50, I am having a hard time reading the editorial description/list for it on the same page. I wear reading glasses but the type size you use for those features is still a bit too small. How about pumping it up half a point? I feel bad enough about not being able to read the label on the bottom of my lipstick.
Also, for a two month issue, December/January felt a little lightweight.
I'm a little bit late. But as an entrant of the 2011 More Beauty Search, who followed the contest closely, why did More pick a finalist who clearly didn't adhere to the rules. There was at least one finalist who had another person in her entry photo. According to the official rules, the picture should only include the entrant. I emailed More with my concerns and never heard back from them. I think all of the contestants deserve a refund..
Regarding The Man That Got Away...this start took my breath away....and not in a positive way. Misplaced emotions and actions by Ms. Kaufman and "Stephen" all those years ago caused deep pain and suffering to innocent individuals (namely Stephen's wife and children) who were not part of "their" secret. And it continues to cause pain today to Ms. Kaufman's family and to herself. I dated a Welsh man who wanted me to visit his family and sit with them "with both feet under the table". I have never forgotten the significance of that statement and it's implication of commitment. When I married for the second time, all the familiar crazy thoughts started coming to me prior to the wedding. The biggest one was where was I going to have my secret bank account incase I needed to make my escape. I caught myself before I went too far down that rabbit hole because if I was entertaining those thoughts there was no way the marriage was going to work. It takes both feet, one's head and heart for success. Ms. Kaufman you didn't ask for advice, but I am offering some. Pack the books away in the attic or better yet give them away. Only when you lose the fantasy can you have a chance at the reality. Your husband and children deserve your whole heart and in the process you may find an ever deepening love and the self esteem you so desperately crave.
Where's the Fire?
My everyday life had become so chaotic that the spark for my passion to write had been smothered. I had been so preoccupied with everything else that I had no "me time" to catch up on my magazine reading. I believe that we attract into our lives that which we ask for. I asked for "me time" and spiritual fuel to reignite my passion. Well the universe gave me five hours, free from responsiblites in the middle of the day, on a flight from New York to San Fran. I took that time to catch up on some inspirational More Magazine reading. Okay lets be honest, as inspirational as More Magazine is I really was looking for some light reading and pictures for my vision board. Instead I found (in the November 2011 publication) Debbie Phillips in an article titled "Reinventing The Old Boy's Club".
In a simple easy to grasp style there were two columns with two women, Debbie Phillips and Deborah Perry Piscione, which briefly described their networking style. Phillips's has tea parties and where women meet other like-minded women with whom they brainstorm and strategize on life goals. I was attracted to her website and book Women On Fire which I purchased immediately online. Women on Fire is a wonderfully motivating book about twenty women who share their success secrets in an effort to save other women the time of making unnecessary mistakes. I found a part of myself in each one. Well that was the spark that my spirit needed to get my mojo working again and I've been on fire. Of course I've renewed my magazine subscription (and order one as a gift for my sister). Your magazine is awesome! I thank the universe for answering my prayers so quickly and I thank More Magazine for being the answer.

Just wondering when you will be announcing when the 2012 Half Marathon will be held.
I hope to run it again and need to plan ahead. Thanks
I recently read the October issue of More, and was thouroughly enjoying it! However, my pleasure turned to dismay as I began to read at article "To Hell with Inner Beauty." I am a 17 year old girl, and sat in shock and disbelief as i read a rallying cry and justification for spending $21,000 on changing your appearance. $21,000 that could have went to charity and $21,000 that said, "If you don't like the way you look, don't accept it, change it!" Everyone has a right to do as they please but writing article condoning it isn't entirely acceptable or uplifting.
My suddenly single warning: This article will not necessarily amuse nor be an information piece. It's more a warning like the side of a cigarette pack telling you the risks you take if you choose to light up. It will be a warning like those on alcoholic beverages that tell pregnant women not to drink and even the general public to employ good judgement when drinking in regards to operating a motor vehicle. Let's call this article a warning label to those who may be contemplating being single again. And those who unfortunately will find themselves single unwillingly.
People think they are going to leave their troubled and angry marriages to enjoy a new life of quiet romantic dinners, dates, unbridled sex, and solid companionship.
MISTAKE! Big mistake.
This is so not the Disney Land of Dating. It is not a fantasy laced episode of Sex and the City. It's rough and raw. No matter how much you hate your mate now, you will find life is not magically transformed because they aren't there everyday. There's getting over the old relationship which will surprise even the antagonists. One will have to then figure out the terms of engagement to negotiate the new ones. That is if there is that possibility of finding a "replacement" mate. Almost everyone is recycled.
We aren't on a college campus now with the support system of frat and sorority parties to enhance our encounters for new friends and social occasions. The single dances for the mature crowd often invoke a bad wedding atmosphere of desperate people looking in all the wrong places. Desperate is not healthy.
Do you really want someone whose main activity is hanging and eating at the local bar? I leave that out there.
The pool of suitors and the suited is ravaged with cheaters, the emotionally shut down, the malcontents, the addicts, and workaholics, which then leaves about 3 people who are truly datable. Hopefully those three won't suffer from other misfortunes like bad dental hygiene, weight issues, impending jail terms or drug/alcohol rehab.
If you get past that then you have the first date syndrome. Where to go, what to do and what not to do which might be even more important. Meeting for a drink or cup of coffee the first time is okay but it is cheap, cheap, cheap. Really, in our struggling economy extravagance is a scarce commodity. Men see dinner as a commitment, of their wallet. You also need to watch out for forgotten wallets, failures to present last names or places of resident. (What are we hiding here!)
And if you ladies meet a man and one of his first three questions is how many dates will he need to take you on before you will have sex with him.....he probably only wants to have sex.
So if your present spouse isn't living up to your expectations, your hopes and dreams, neither will suddenly being single live up to its glorified mystique. Just saying.........
"Thank God! It's about time you got those things taken care of." These words, we are to believe, are uttered by a ten year old who has just been informed about her mother's, the journalist, Amanda Robb, upcoming plastic surgery to remove wrinkles! One hates to think about in what company this little girl spends her days, what she and her friends talk about and how they view women. "Those things" that need to be "taken care of" are the natural features of her mother's face!

How do I remove unnecessary dots in a file name in a windows batch script eg:
a.b.c.txt to a.txt
The info contained in the SS64 link that Charlie Wilson posted originated from my SU post: How does the Windows RENAME command interpret wildcards?. Unfortunately there isn't any simple REN syntax that can do what you want.
You will have to resort to at least one FOR loop. Here is one solution that works from the command prompt as long as none of your file names begin with
You can protect names that begin with
You can run either of the above commands from a batch file by changing all
The ren command. There is a very detailed explanation of using this command with wildcards at the link below.

There is not a single person on the planet who asked for a Carly Rae Jepsen/LMFAO collaboration, but remember, Carly Rae Jepsen isn't just the 26-going-on-16 blushing crushee of "Call Me Maybe," with triple citizenship in Canada, the Internet and your heart. In the music industry, she's just another developing artist and thus subject to featured-artist mix-and-match, which is how she ends up working with Owl City and now LMFAO.
In other words: we weren't looking for this, but now it's in our way: Jepsen and Redfoo wrote a song together. Over the phone, in fact; Jepsen ran into LMFAO's Redfoo at the airport–he's evidently easy to spot–an exchange not unlike the one in "Call Me Maybe" happened, and a song came of it, presumably for her record in September. (September seems rushed, but you can't exactly blame anyone for wanting the album out fast.) All well and inevitable, but Carly Rae Jepsen and LMFAO have… different strengths. Couldn't we just have a party rock remix of "Call Me Maybe"? Or a mashup, maybe? …Oh well. There's always that Bieber collaboration.

- Total Product (TP) This is the total output produced by workers
- Marginal Product (MP) This is the output produced by an extra worker
Definition: Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns
Diminishing Returns occurs in the short run when one factor is fixed (e.g. Capital)
If the variable factor of production is increased, there comes a point where it will become less productive and therefore there will eventually be a decreasing marginal and then average product
This is because if capital is fixed extra workers will eventually get in each other's way as they attempt to increase production. E.g. think about the effectiveness of extra workers in a small café. If more workers are employed production could increase but more and more slowly.
This law only applies in the short run because in the long run all factors are variable
Assume the wage rate is £10, then an extra worker Costs £10.
The Marginal Cost (MC) of a sandwich will be the Cost of the worker divided by the number of extra sandwiches that are produced
Therefore as MP increases MC declines and vice versa
A good example of diminishing returns includes the use of chemical fertilizers- a small quantity leads to a big increase in output. However, increasing its use further may lead to declining Marginal Product (MP) as the efficacy of the chemical declines.
Diagram of Diminishing Returns
Difference between diminishing returns and dis-economies of scale.
Diminishing returns relates to the short run – higher SRAC. Diseconomies of scale is concerned with the long run. (Diseconomies of scale occurs when increased output leads to a rise in LRAC)

The kit is as advertised. It raised the front of the truck 2.25" and the 3 rear block added 2" to the rear leaving 1" of rake from front to rear. I would recommend this kit over the competition where the spacers are plastic and/or require you to cut the studs. This kit can be removed and the truck can be returned to stock if need be. It is more expensive but in my opinion well worth it.

This week I attended Apps World in San Francisco at the Moscone Center. Though this conference is mostly for start-ups and developers I thought I would attend and see what new apps are out there. The first keynote was with Steve Wozniak and I was excited to hear him speak about Creativity and Innovation in the APP Landscape. The one thing that stuck out of this keynote is his passion for innovation and product/ app development. He explained once a person gets an idea in their head and has a personal reason to achieve the goal they are more than likely to achieve it.
He gave a great example of this when he worked at Apple. He really wanted to go to CES "to see the lights" but at the time only Jobs went to these events. Cleverly Woz thought of a way he could go to the 1978 CES for free. Through his determination and personal reason to go to CES Woz worked day and night creating the floppy for the Apple 2. In the end Woz went to the 1978 Consumer Electronics Show and demo'd the floppy for the Apple 2 (and got to see the bright lights he worked hard for).
A few other take backs from the keynote was Woz's opinion on cloud were he believes it has taken away privacy and how he prefers to know when he is having a conversation with his wife it's only between them not the world of cloud. He also expressed how he would love to see more innovation with Siri and artificial intelligence to where it understands a person even if there is a stutter or make an error (ie: "Siri I need 5 wait I mean 6 eggs" and Siri automatically knows you mean 6).
Woz definitely motivated and inspired young developers and entrepreneurs at Apps World to keep innovating and developing. After his keynote I spoke with a few developers that also attended the keynote. One of them said as developer there are days she wanted to give up or wonder if her product/ app will make it. After attending the key note she said this just gave her more motivation to keep working hard and developing innovative apps. To see a short clip of the Wozniak interview click here to my youtube channel.
I went to many booths while at Apps World but here are the top 5 that I personally liked. Please note I haven't had a chance to use these apps in depth since I just downloaded them. A more in-depth review of the apps will post on cutegeek.com in the next coming weeks.
TheFind is a cool shopping app that works in a multi-channel environment to personalize the shopping experience. The way TheFind works is simple; just search for a product and it will pull up several variations (ie: I searched plaid shirt and it came up with different colors and cuts of a plaid shirt), top stores that carry it, and the different prices. You can then narrow your search by price, color, brand, stores (local or online) that carry it. If you're ready to purchase the site will go directly to stores website (like a Target) to complete the transaction. Users can store their credit card information on TheFind and it can be used on any of the websites from your search to make shopping easier. TheFind is the most efficient way to shop for a product based on your personal preferences, brands and price. You can also track packages and look at previous purchases
Yummly is by far going to be one of the most useful apps for cooking. Where was this when I was trying to make a vegan dish for thanksgiving or a creative dish for the super bowl? Yummly lets you search recipes by holiday, cuisine, taste, diet, nutrition, allergy, cook time, technique, and more. The database has over one million recipes worldwide from several different websites. Users can also search for one ingredient and find several recipes and different ways to prepare it. The Yummly app also stores your personal preferences, past recipes you liked (Yum), and allows you to share with friends.
I visited the Dolby booth not knowing exactly how a brand typically known for its audio in film was doing at Apps World. Introducing Dolby Digital Plus which creates a surround sound experience through your device speakers and headphones. I had a chance to have a demo of the difference between the Kindle Fire HDX with and without using Dolby Digital Plus. It was interesting to hear the difference; it wasn't even a small difference it was a HUGE difference. Currently Dolby Digital Plus is only on the Kindle Fire HDX and I am told it will also be on the Samsung Nexus as well.
While I was looking for another booth I stumbled upon the Mapjam booth. Mapjam is a web and mobile map publishing platform that allows businesses, organizations, and people to create useful, personalized maps that are easy to share. This app is perfect for someone like me who is always planning or attending events and traveling. The Mapjams app helps you locate points of interest, free visitor parking lot, the right mall entrance, a coffee shop for a meeting, a stall at a busy market, or even the right street where several of the same names exist in cities and suburbs. Using subpins you can create your own personalized map and then share it with your friends or on social networks.
Revel is a live, multiplayer, picture game better described to me as a social media picture scavenger hunt. Users create a game, choose a theme (ie: nightclub), add friends, and start playing. When you begin you will be brought to grid like screen with pictures matching the theme. Click on the picture subject (ie: find some heals) and then the user takes pictures matching the subject. I haven't started a Revel game yet and hope to test that out over the weekend!
All and all I thought Apps world was a great learning experience though at times a bit over my head. Again I will be testing out the apps in more depth in the next coming week and will post my reviews on cutegeek.

The web's most trusted destination for Health Questions & Answers
When I ejaculate it doesn't shoot very far barely at all. I was wondering what I could do to get the sperm to shoot further? Also, How can I make my penis have more girth?
Hello and greetings from Ayurvediccure.com
Ejaculation pressure in males is mainly due to fluid pressure of various male reproductive glands and this pressure keeps on reducing with time. The over masturbation, repeated infections of urogenital system, over sex, hormonal imbalance etc are the reasons behind reduction in ejaculation pressure. Similarly Penis may also not reach to its full size. Small penis is equally effective for reproduction but generally becomes a obstacle in satisfaction. We recommend you to start with a regular course of Shilajit and Kohinoor Gold with application of Orgy Penis Massage Oil on the penis shaft for fast and complete solution of all your problems. Shilajit and Kohinoor will help in getting back the health, power and stamina of urogenital system and are complete body tonics. Their regular course will improve the ejaculation pressure, erection force, sex duration, penis size and semen quantity. Orgy oil Helps in increasing the girth and length of penis by improving the blood flow toward penis and providing better nourishment. So we recommend you to make a regular course of almost three months to get the satisfactory results.

Thanks for sharing about this! It is so impoartant to use our influence in the world to make a difference in the lives of people who may otherwise not have a voice. Human trafficking is modern day slavery- something we should all be concerned about if we do experience freedom. "The more freedom we enjoy, the greater responsibility we bear". Thank you for sharing!

MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY DESIGN TEAM WINS THE 2010 ADCNJ DESIGN DERBY: (from left to right) Charles Leenstra, Carlos Norat, Amy Serafin, Erik Nowicki, Andrea Kramer (the client), Jessica Mollica, Lusine Katrjyan, and Rupalvyas pose with the logo design created by this student team from Montclair State University for the New Jersey Arts Collaborative at the 2010 ADCNJ Design Derby. [Photo by Susan Pedersen]
Each year the Art Directors Club of New Jersey (ADCNJ) organizes a statewide competition that is open to all design students enrolled at New Jersey colleges and universities.
Hosted by Sussex County Community College in Newton, New Jersey, on November 6th, the 2010 ADCNJ Design Derby welcomed a total of 106 students who formed 16 teams for an intensive competition of creative minds. Student teams participated from The College of New Jersey, County College of Morris, Kean University, Montclair State University, New Jersey City University, Ramapo College, Rutgers University—Newark, Stockton College, and Sussex County Community College. See the gallery of photos from the event here.
This year the challenge for these student teams was to design a new logo and brochure for an organization called New Jersey Arts Collaborative, which served as the client for this competition. Founded in 2002, this organization seeks to support, promote, and unite artists – including those who have a passion for painting, music, dance, and theater – living in New Jersey. For more information, visit www.njartscollaborative.org.
Following a 3-hour work session using paper and markers, each team presented their designs for peer review and judging by the leadership of the New Jersey Arts Collaborative. A team from Montclair State University was selected as creating the top conceptual design for New Jersey Arts Collaborative, and a team from Ramapo College received recognition for the best presentation.
"The creative energy and talent of these design teams are unbelievable," said Andrea Kramer, founder of the New Jersey Arts Collaborative. "Everyone had something in their presentation that we liked," added Deborah Cutler, who also works with this organization and participated in the judging process.
"We did it again," stated ADCNJ Education Council Member Nikki Pedersen, who created the ADCNJ Design Derby and has served a leadership role for all 16 ADCNJ Design Derby competitions to date. "The client was really thrilled to be here. They knew what they wanted and got what they wanted."
"As Chair of the ADCNJ Education Council and a first-time attendee of the ADCNJ Design Derby, I would like to thank Sussex County Community College for hosting this event," said Jon Weiman. "I also want to thank Smith Design for their generous sponsorship of this ADCNJ Design Derby and the ongoing work of ADCNJ Education Council."
"As an educator, it was a revelation to witness the cohesion, synergy, teamwork, rapid conceptual thinking, and physical execution of the project, "added Jon. "The most astonishing aspect of the process was that we decided, toward the later part of the day, to cut the time short by a half hour, and all of the students not only took it in stride but welcomed the challenge of a shorter deadline. The client
was extremely impressed with the broad spectrum of approaches presented and chose their favorite in record time."
"Smith Design is proud to support this design competition," said James Smith, noting that Smith Design (www.smithdesign.com) has grown over the past 30 years to become a well-known and respected package design firm. "This is one way for the ADCNJ to expose design students in New Jersey to the intense competition that exists in our industry. Gaining real-world experience in addressing the needs of clients can be a valuable learning opportunity as well as the key to survival as creative professionals."
Special thanks to ADCNJ Members James Smith, Nikki Pedersen, Jon Weiman, Susan Pedersen, and faculty members who dedicated the entire day to making the 2010 ADCNJ Design Derby a productive learning experience for all participants!

BEHIND THE WARS IN MEXICO and CHIAPAS: A Report from the Chiapas Support Committee's Spring Delegation to Chiapas
Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists
1924 Cedar Street (Corner of Bonita)
Berkeley, CA
Suggested Donation: $10.00
In Chiapas
1. Second Marcos Letter to Don Luis Villoro
- The CCRI-CG-EZLN released the second letter from Subcomandante Marcos to the Mexican philosopher Luis Villoro. The 2nd letter is titled: "On Critical Reflection, Individuals and Collectives." Marcos criticizes the lack of critical reflection by the thinkers of the political class and characterizes their ideas as "junk theory," sort of like "junk food." He says it doesn't nourish; it only entertains. We are not aware of a complete online English translation. For those of you who read Spanish see:
2. Worldwide Declaration To Support the 5 Bachajon Prisoners
- International solidarity organizations and collectives participated in another "5 MORE Days of Worldwide Action for the Bachajon 5" from April 23 to April 28 by collecting signatures on a declaration demanding compliance with international law regarding respect for indigenous territory, release of the 5 prisoners and withdrawal of police and military from San Sebastian Bachajon. The Declaration was written by the Frayba Human Rights Center in Chiapas and distributed by the Movement for Justice in the Barrio in New York. The CSC participated in that worldwide mobilization and circulated the declaration. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SIGNED THE DECLARATION!
3. Current Situation in Bachajon
- On April 8, the companyeros of San Sebastian Bachajon mobilized to "take back" the ticket booth. The next morning a deployment of around 800 state and federal police threw stones at the approximately 600 Other Campaign members at the ticket booth, forcing them to flee for their lives. The police also shot into the air and were backed up by soldiers and a helicopter that flew overhead. Possession of the ticket booth was turned over to the state government, which in turn gave it to pro-government supporters to administer. Meanwhile, an appeal from the judge's decision to deny a protective order has been filed, but not forwarded by authorities in Chiapas to the appropriate legal body.
4. Denunciations from La Garrucha and La Realidad -
The Good Government Junta in La Garrucha denounced that the ejido commission of Cintalapa Ejido in the Lacand¾n Jungle has threatened to evict Zapatista bases for refursing to deliver their electoral credential, refusing to pay property taxes and refusing to pay electricity taxes. The Junta in La Realidad denounced that a Zapatista support base was physically attacked, taken to jail and then imprisoned for crimes he did not commit. Patricio Dominguez Vazquez was taken to the state prison in Motozintla falsely charged with cutting down trees that those who attacked him actually cut down. His attackers are alleged to be some of the ejido authorities and police from Monte Rodondo, where Dominguez Vazquez is an ejido member.
5. Mexican Army Adds Two More Military Bases at Guatemala Border
- The commander of the Mexican Army's 7th Military Region in the Chiapas capital of Tuxtla Gutierrez announced the creation of two new military bases on the southern border with Guatemala. One will be at Nuevo Chiapas, in Jiquipilas municipality and the other possibly at Chicomuselo in the municipality of the same name. Each base will have 600 troops reassigned from several parts of the region, although it is not known exactly where they will come from. This move responds to US pressure to stop the flow of drugs that are crossing the Chiapas border with Guatemala, something that has been going on quietly for a long time, but that US officials only became concerned about recently. The commander also said that there are currently 14,000 troops in Chiapas. (NGOs and Human rights organizations estimate at least 50,000 soldiers in Chiapas already, many of them special forces.)
In Other Parts of Mexico
1. Javier Sicilia's Son Is Murdered
- On March 28, Juan Francisco Sicilia Ortega, son of the poet and novelist Javier Sicilia, collaborator with
La Jornada
and also
magazine, was found murdered in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, together with six other people. There was evidence of torture and a narco-message was found at the site, leaving many to conclude that drug traffickers may have been involved. The grief-stricken father began a series of protests against the Calderon War (the Drug War) that have attracted substantial support from his friends, the families and friends of other victims and those in civil society who oppose the war and the bloodshed. A demonstration Sicilia called in Cuernavaca drew 40,000 people on April 6. Most recently, Sicilia has called for a National March for Justice and Against Impunity, scheduled to leave from Cuernavaca on May 5 and to arrive in the Mexico City Zocalo on May 8. (See next item for EZLN's position.)
2. The EZLN's CCRI-CG Announces Participation by Zapatista Support Bases
In a communiquķ date April 28, the CCRI-CG (the commanders) announced that Zapatista support bases would participate in a silent march on May 7 in San Crist¾bal de las Casas, as part of the National March for Justice and Against Impunity. The CCRI also asked that national adherents to the Other Campaign and international adherents to the Sixth Declaration also participate, each in their own geographies and calendars. This communiquķ may be read in English at:
3. Letter to Don Javier Sicilia from Subcomandante Marcos -
The Zapatistas released another letter on April 28, this one from Subcomandante Marcos to Javier Sicilia. In this letter
asks that Sicilia ōmake these words reach the families of the 49 children dead and the 70 injured in the tragedy of the ABC nursery school, of Hermosillo, Sonora; the dignified Mothers of Ciudad Jußrez; the Le Bar¾n and Reyes Salazar families, of Chihuahua; the families and friends of the victims of this haughty war; the defenders of human rights of nationals and migrants, and to all those calling for the National March for Justice and against Impunity.ö The entire letter may be read in English at:
4. The War Against Organized Crime (The Drug War)
- The war in Mexico continues to leave a deadly trail. The count soared to 1,427 bodies found in April, in part due to the discovery of numerous clandestine graves. More than 37,000 people have died in this war to date.
In the US
1. High-Level Mexico-US Meeting On Drug War
- On April 29, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mexico's Foreign Relations Secretary Patricia Espinosa met in Washington DC with a significant number of high-level officials from both countries. Little was reported from the meeting other than the usual agreement of mutual respect and cooperation in the "drug war."

While the most famous View these days is a morning television show with five ladies sitting around a table ripping on men, we thought our readers might like a view of the Tascosa-Amarillo High game tonight by players, head coaches and the media.
The coaches
Tascosa first-year coach Ken Plunk
"We are going to have to be able to control some areas of this game. We can't go out and have long lulls. ... Now Amarillo High hasn't been scored on for a reason. They are dang good on defense."
Amarillo High fourth-year coach Brad Thiessen
"I think it will be a good test. This is the best offensive team we've seen to this point and (Tascosa quarterback Dalton) Brooks is the best offensive player we've seen. He might be the best quarterback in the district (2-5A)."
The players
Tascosa senior offensive/defensive tackle Cesar Garcia
"You don't sleep during this week. I have been thinking about this game every night. With this game things are different in the hallways with everybody talking about it, but on the practice field it's the same. Everybody is working hard. We know this is a district game, so it's big. But you can't deny that it's a big rival. So that puts a lot more pressure on and a lot more anxiety into the game.
"You get hyped right away when you see the crowd (in Dick Bivins). It sends chills down your back when you walk down the ramp."
Amarillo High senior cornerback Blair Dickey
"I think last year was more nerve wracking because it was my first game to ever start. I really don't see this week too different because we don't try to over hype any week. We know to win we have to stop (Tascosa quarterback) Dalton Brooks. Our secondary has to play well, which we have shown we can do. The fact we haven't been scored on we don't talk about it a lot. It's obviously there so we don't ignore it.
"Seeing that crowd in Dick Bivins when you walk down the ramp. Now, that will get your heart going."
The media
Lance Lahnert, Amarillo Globe-News sports editor
This will mark the 23rd time I have covered this Tascosa-Amarillo High rivalry game. It's as good a rivalry as the state of Texas offers up in high school.
Most of the time this game arrives late in the year and the personalities of the teams have been established so you pretty much know what should happen.
What I have learned to expect is expect the unexpected when these two collide in front of 15,000 fans. And, look for a role player to step up and become a star.
However, what I have seen in recent years is Amarillo High walks into this game knowing they can win. Tascosa walks in thinking, well, maybe, we can win.
If Tascosa can weather the Sandie storm in the first half tonight and not get down by two or more touchdowns, look for a thriller decided on a late field goal by the talents of AHS kicker Austin Sasser or Tascosa's Barrett Conway.
If Tascosa can't weather the storm mentally in the first half, it's rout city for AHS.
Brad Fralick, KAMR sports director
This year the Amarillo High-Tascosa game might be the best one in the seven years I have been here. With both teams starting the season 2-0 this one could be an instant classic. Amarillo High's defense seems to be the real deal and coach Ken Plunk has done amazing things just to get this Tascosa team on the same page in such a short time.
My prediction: AHS 17, Tascosa 14.
This will be low scoring smash-mouth football on both sides.
Lee Passmore, Globe-News District 2-5A beat writer
A lot will be proven at Bivins tonight in a game which will determine more than city bragging rights through next season. It's fairly certain that the unblemished record of the Amarillo High defense and the scoring average of the Tascosa offense will both take some hits by the time the game's over.
Something will have to give fairly early in this one for a statement to be made. While the matchup of the AHS defense and Tascosa quarterback Dalton Brooks is the juiciest aspect of this game, it might be what happens when the Sandies have the ball which makes the biggest difference. If Amarillo High gets rolling offensively and takes an early lead (just like last week against Lubbock Coronado), that could spell trouble for the Rebels.
If Brooks is forced to throw a lot early, that plays directly into the hands of the Amarillo High secondary, particularly cornerback Blair Dickey, who had three interceptions against Tascosa.
Ashley Strid, KAMR sports reporter
Both the Sandies and Rebels are enjoying an undefeated season and a loss will clearly tarnish that. A win, on the other hand, has serious district implications, putting the victor at the top of District 2-5A.
With that being said, the pressure is on and both teams are gearing up to welcome the challenge. Amarillo High's defense is performing at a top cylinder and Tascosa's three-year varsity quarterback Dalton Brooks is mobile and impressive.
However, the common phrase "defense wins championships" leads me to believe if the Sandies can stop Brooks and stick with the receivers, then they'll come out on top. I don't think AHS will claim a third consecutive shutout and this game will be a nail biter considering the talent and pride we're dealing with. I wish both teams the best of luck and look forward to this match up.

Why isn't Enterprise Search like Internet Search?
By Raoul on Feb 18, 2009
Another well-thought out article by Bex here.
It's very important to understand these distinctions because our clients and users generally don't think about these things like we do. They just want it to work - but they haven't thought about the fact that what they want and how it should work is fundamentally different.
Google is, as Bex points out, terrible at finding one particular thing in the whole wide interwebs - I know, I try and fail often!
As a bonus, I also learned what I am - a Maven. I like it; it sounds somewhat dark rather than geeky. I imagine Mavens to look something like John Travolta from Battlefield Earth, rather than the reality of most of us sitting at desks looking at multiple monitors or reading incessantly.

Tropical Storm Tomas's future path a question mark
For more information on Tropical Storm Tomas, see our story.
So far, no part of Florida is in Tropical Storm Tomas's cone of uncertainty. But if the initial advisory is to be believed, this is one we need to watch.
Tomas is forecast to burgeon into a Category 3 hurricane and arrive in the central Caribbean, near Jamaica, within the next five days.
From that position, it could continue northwest into the Gulf or turn north over central Cuba, in which case, Florida would be under the gun.
Yet another scenario, as suggested by the models: It might curve northeast back toward the Atlantic. The question then would be, would it turn sharp enough to leave Florida unscathed?
What will determine its ultimate course will be how it reacts with high and low pressure systems north of its path.
Senior hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart of the National Hurricane Center said in five days, a low pressure-trough should weaken Tomas's steering currents and cause it to slow down.
If that, in fact, happens, it would be more likely to be pulled north over eastern Cuba or Haiti and then east toward the Bahamas.
In other words, it would remain south of Florida.
"It's all a matter of timing," said Dennis Feltgen, hurricane center spokesman. "Beyond day 4 and 5, there are a lot of ifs."
He added that one way or the other, anytime a storm moves into the Caribbean in October, Florida residents need to monitor it.
"Don't raid the hurricane supplies just yet," Feltgen said.

Seven C-USA Players on Super Bowl XLVII Rosters
Jan. 31, 2013
Conference USA will be represented by seven former players from three different schools in Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday, February 3, in New Orleans. Four Baltimore Ravens and three San Francisco 49ers players hail from current C-USA schools. They will battle each other in pro football's biggest game for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, as the 49ers seek a record-tying sixth Super Bowl victory and the Ravens aim for a second Super Bowl crown.
Marshall has four of the seven players in the game. Only Miami (Fla.) with seven and Oregon with five have more players in this year's Super Bowl than the Thundering Herd. Marshall and UCF are among 22 programs that have at least one player on each roster.
Headlining the Ravens' members with Conference USA ties is fullback Vonta Leach, a nine-year pro from East Carolina that has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons. Leach earned All-Conference USA accolades as a linebacker with the Pirates and also saw action at fullback with ECU.
Marshall has a pair of players on the Baltimore roster in linebacker Albert McClellan and safety Omar Brown and a duo of 49ers in wide receiver Randy Moss and safety C.J. Spillman. McClellan was the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year in 2006 as a defensive end before moving to outside linebacker in the pro ranks. Brown is in his rookie year with Baltimore and the 2011 first team All-C-USA selection has seen action mostly on special teams since moving from the practice squad to the active roster late in the season. Moss is making in his second Super Bowl appearance (New England in 2007) and is slated to start at one wide receiver spot, while Spillman is a reserve free safety in his fourth season with San Francisco.
UCF's member of the 49ers is two-time Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year Bruce Miller, now starting at fullback for San Francisco. Miller has started 13 games this season, helping pave the way for Frank Gore and the Niners ground game. The Knights' Ravens representative is Jah Reid, who started the final seven games of the regular season on the offensive line for Baltimore but before being placed on injured reserve.
In addition to the players participating in the game, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has Conference USA ties. He was the assistant head coach at Cincinnati when the Bearcats faced Tulane in the first C-USA Football game on August 30, 1996. Plus, the referee for the Super Bowl will be Jerome Boger, a former C-USA football official.
Super Bowl XLVII will kick off on Sunday, February 3 at 6:29 EST at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, home of Conference USA member Tulane. CBS will broadcast the game.

For those who tuned into the 2014 USA Indoor Track & Field Championships last weekend, you may have noticed Furman Elite runner Craig Forys competing in the men's 3000 meters final. Forys joined the Travelers Rest-based post-collegiate team in 2013 with plenty of high-caliber running experience under his belt. Forys made the finals of the 3000 meter Steeplechase at the 2012 Olympic Trials. So when he hit the 2K mark on Saturday right step for step with eventual first and second place finishers, Bernard Lagat and Galen Rupp, it was of little surprise to see him right in the mix of things. Forys fell back to 9th place with his 8:18.33 clocking.
Teammate Jack Bolas was a late scratch in Sunday's 1,500 meter final. It has been a busy indoor season for Bolas. He ran 3:43.59 in the 1,500 meters at the 19th annual New Balance Games in January. Then at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix on February 8, Bolas ran 3:59.35 (an indoor personal best) to place 5th in the mile with teammate Jeff See in just meters behind him in 4:00.00. Originally, the 1,500 meters at the USA Indoors was intended to be a two heat final, but was merged into one field.
Several Furman athletes have been training at altitude over recent months while competing in top level national indoor meets around the country. Bolas and See both ran under four minutes in the mile in 2013 on three separate occasions. On April 12, these runners will be at the Blue Shoes Invitational Meet at Furman as part of the men's elite mile. The meet is open to the public and has been shifted to a new twilight venue. Last year, four runners broke the four minute barrier in the race. Three of the four were Furman Elite athletes (Bolas, See and Cory Leslie, last year's Blue Shoes Mile champion).
The USA Indoors was not without several intriguing subplots. First there were reports of Nike Oregon Project coach Alberto Salazar having to be physically restrained during an altercation with fellow Nike coach Jerry Schumacher. It was alleged that Salazar was irate over Schumacher's athletes employing team tactics to take down Rupp, Salazar's prodigy, in the 3000 meters. Was this not a race? And not just any race, but a national championship? And didn't Rupp recently shatter the American indoor record in the 5000 meters? But I digress.
Further controversy ensued in the women's 3000 meters on Saturday. Brooks/Team USA Minnesota runner, Gabrielle "Gabe" Grunewald, appeared to have secured her first national title when she motored down the homestretch. Grunewald, a two-time cancer survivor, had overtaken Shannon Rowbury and Jordan Hasay in the final 200 meter lap. But in a belated decision, it was ruled that Grunewald had interfered with Hasay when the runners made brief contact. The ruling disqualified Grunewald, stripping her of the national title and a spot in the World Track & Field Champions in the process.
A number of runners in the meet demonstrated their obvious displeasure with the decision to disqualify Grunewald. The field of women's 1500 meter runners held hands as a sign of solidarity to protest the ruling as they exited the track.
Said Will Leer following his second place finish in the men's 1500 meters, "I'll be remiss if I don't take this moment to say how badly I feel for Gabrielle and how much I think it's a grace. U.S.A Track and Field needs to get their act together with that one."
In era when most professional athletes straddle the middle line, it was rare, yet refreshing, to see runners be critical of their governing body. Their protest profoundly influenced USATF's decision to reinstate Grunewald as the 3,000 meter champion on Monday afternoon where she will now compete at the World Indoors, March 7-9 in Sopot, Poland.
USATF needs to also reconsider the indoor configurations of the 60 meter hurdles. With no extended track, athletes are given little more than a few strides to slow themselves down, world class sprinters reach speeds of over 25 mph at this distance. The only thing to halt their continuation past the finish line is a padded line. Unfortunately, some indoor tracks come equipped with an inclined ramp around the turns. This led to multiple athletes receiving leg injuries in three consecutive heats- two in one heat alone (see attached video). Certainly running events at obscure distances is one of the draws of indoor track, but at some point the safety of its athletes should be the main objective.
Stay up to speed with the Furman Elite team by visiting their website.

Help again!
I'm trying to figure out how to use TSLPatcher to install the Mekel Recruitment Mod, but looking at the steps in the readme just confuses me because the mod is already done and I'm not sure if I can just skip the adding of an unaltered 2DA and append.tlk because there is already an appearance 2DA and completed dialog files. Should I go right to the changedit step or what?
(there are several other mods I want to use that I have the same questions for, so this is really a big issue for me.)
You should probably download Kotor tool, extract whatever unaltered .2da you need from the BIFS->.2da archives. Extract the .2da wherever you want and then when it asks for the unaltered .2da just choose the one you extracted.
not sure what you mean though.
so I replace the 2da file in the mod already with an unaltered one?
as I said, this is an already complete mod i'm trying to figure out how to use the TSTPatcher to install because I cant do it manually.
So you're setting up a TSL patcher to install your mod using ChangeEdit, correct?
You wouldn't need to replace anything. Basically, extract the unaltered .2da from KotOR Tool to a place of your choosing. Once that's done, (I assume your using the compare two .2da's function of change edit) select the compare function and then when it asks for the Original, unaltered .2da choose the one you extracted from KotOR Tool. When it asks for the new, modified .2da choose the one from the mod.
If all else fails I should be able to set up a TSL patcher install for you. What mod is it?
I'll try what you've suggested first though. THANKS!!!
Alright, let me know how it turns out. :)
EDIT: oh boy, do I feel stupid. just double checked my override and found the Recruit Mekel mod already in it....(is very embarrassed):hor:
I'm going to try using the TSLpatcher with the Recruit RedHawke mod now. (I KNOW that one isnt in there.)
Okay, tell me how it goes.

During the Golden Globe Awards, E! News entertained online viewers with what they called "fun facts." Now according to CNN on Jan. 13, the network is apologizing for a fact that was not fun for Michael J. Fox.
The "fun fact" that E! News shared pertained to Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease. The network posted an online blurb that said, "Fun Fact: Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991." It is unclear why anyone thought this was appropriate or even "fun" but fans of the star were not amused.
Twitter blew up as enraged viewers voiced their disgust. E! News quickly apologized for their flub and even made this statement:
"We regret the insensitive classification of Michael J Fox's Parkinson's diagnosis during our E online live stream. We understand the serious nature of the disease and sincerely apologize."
In addition to the Michael J. Fox fun fact, E! News flubbed again during the show. Although apparently not as upsetting to viewers, they also found it "fun" to mention that Robert Redford suffered from polio as a child. It is not clear who came up with these facts but certainly someone should have caught on prior to their airing and mentioned how insensitive they really were.
