Emergence of Cecilia Calabrese and Paul Cavallo as write-in candidates for mayor, causes Agawam Town Clerk Richard Theroux to predict 55% voter turnout

AGAWAM – Town Clerk Richard M. Theroux estimates that about 55 percent of the city's registered voters will participate in the election on Nov. 3. Theroux said earlier this week that he expects about 10,300 of the 18,729 voters to cast ballots. He said interest is "very high" in the mayoral contest, which has grown to four contenders with the emergence of City Councilors Cecilia P. Calabrese and Paul C. Cavallo as write-in candidates. Businessman Derek J. Benton and former Mayor Richard A. Cohen's names will appear on the mayoral section of the ballot, as they placed first and second, respectively, in the seven-way preliminary election on Oct. 6. Theroux said that compared to the 2007 mayoral contest, in which Susan R. Dawson defeated Cohen, he expects the coming election to increase voter turnout because there are more active registered voters and the two write-in candidates will spur interest. The election also will include a 17-way race for 11 City Council seats and a nine-way run for six School Committee seats. Those battles also may swell the turnout. The October mayoral contest, which, Theroux said, had the largest preliminary field in Agawam's history and was one of the largest in the state this fall, drew 6,891, or about 37 percent, of 18,586 registered voters. Trailing Benton and Cohen were Cavallo in third place, Dawson in fourth, Calabrese in fifth and Alan J. Griffin and Peter A. Boadry in sixth and seventh, respectively. Theroux noted that in the 2007 election, 7,460, or about 42 percent, of 17,688 voters cast ballots. In a related matter, Dawson said on Thursday that although voters are welcome to write in her name on Nov. 3, she is not planning a formal write-in campaign. She won 1,285 votes, or about 18 percent, of the preliminary's ballot total. She said she is concerned that if she conducted a write-in bid, it would ensure a victory for her 2007 rival, Cohen. She said another write-in campaign would split the total vote "too many different ways" and also further fracture the community. "I feel it's not in the community's best interest to further divide," she said. She also made clear that, as of Thursday, she had not formally endorsed any of the mayoral candidates in the final election. She had said immediately following the announcement of the preliminary's results that she would support Benton. But she differentiated on Thursday between offering support and formally endorsing any of the candidates. "I will support a couple (of candidates), who are running for this seat," she said, without citing any of them by name. "I will meet with the candidates I choose to meet with and discuss anything they'd like to discuss."

To examine the class of quarterbacks entering the NFL this year as compared to last year, one might think Tajh Boyd missed a golden opportunity.
The Clemson quarterback was an intriguing commodity after throwing for 3,896 and 36 touchdowns as a junior, while rushing for another 514 yards and 10 scores - particularly in a year where no quarterback seemed to leap off the page as a sure-fire first-round draft pick.
But Boyd elected to return to Clemson, leaving another ACC signal-caller - Florida State's E.J. Manuel - to be the only quarterback selected in the first round last April. And now, even with a crowded field and at least two or three other quarterbacks expected to go near the top of the first round, Boyd is glad he did.
"I felt like my transition from last year to this year, not necessarily just as a player but as a person, I feel like I've grown," he said. "There's really more to the whole scheme of things. Whenever I made this transition, I wanted to be as prepared as possible. Last year, while my numbers were (good) and I feel like I would have been a solid pick early on, I felt like I still had room to grow.
"It was a difficult decision. I just didn't know if I was really ready and mature enough to make that leap. We're transitioning young men. When you step up there, that's grown-man ball up there. I just wanted to grow into my own and become a more complete person in general."
Boyd put up similar numbers this season, throwing for 3,851 yards and 34 touchdowns and running for 400 yards and 10 more scores. He led the Tigers to an 11-2 record and a 40-35 Orange Bowl victory over Ohio State.
Only now, as he prepares to enter the draft he shunned last season, Boyd finds doubters, with many projecting him as a mid-round pick. Monday, after his first day of practice in Mobile, Draftinsider.net's Tony Pauline tweeted that he was told by a Packers scout that based on what he'd seen Boyd was "not draftable." Others, however, have reportedly shown interest - particularly the Raiders.
"That's kind of the funny part about it," Boyd said. "Kind of the way I ended the season. I was projected as a top 10 pick in the season and in actuality, my numbers were pretty similar to last year. I think that this is a good set-up for me because it gives coaches a chance to see what I can actually do in their setting.
"I look at the situation I'm in now and I can only move up. I'm excited about it and I'm just going to go out here and try to make a splash this week."
The climate in the NFL is ripe for a player of his skills as well. With the success of fleet-footed quarterbacks like Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III and the increased use of zone-read schemes in the NFL, Boyd feels like his timing couldn't have been better.
"It's great because you look at how the timetable's changing," Boyd said. "There's quarterbacks that ... were just before their time. You look at the Woody Dantzlers, the Pat Whites, the Mike Vicks and the league is finally changing to that style of offense, but for some guys it's just a little bit too late. I feel like it's a good time to come into the league. I feel like the offenses are to the point where they're customizing it to the particular player. I feel like whatever spot I go to, I'm just going to enjoy it and make the most out of it."

The local Jewish community is joining others around the world to remember three Israeli teenagers found dead this week in the West Bank.
The public is invited to attend a memorial service at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday at the Jewish Community Center of Allentown. The Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley and the Lehigh Valley Jewish Clergy Group are coordinating the service.
"It's a memorial service so this is not a political event. This is an opportunity to express grief and to express sorrow," said Mark Goldstein, executive director of the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley. "For 18 days, ever since we learned word of the kidnapping, we were united in hope and optimism and prayer. We really were hoping this would end differently but now we are united in sorrow and we're united in grief."
"We just received word that the Israel Consul General Yaron Sideman will be with us this evening and he'll be offering some remarks, as well," Goldstein told 69 News Wednesday afternoon. "He is the consul general for Israel based out of their Philadelphia consulate. He's part of the Israel diplomatic core within the United States."
The three teenagers were kidnapped in the West Bank a few weeks ago while they were hitchhiking home. Their bodies were found in a field in the West Bank Monday. Israeli officials believe the Hamas militant group is to blame.
"I think all people who love peace and who hope for a better tomorrow should be stunned and flabbergasted when this happens to innocent individuals," said Goldstein.
Tensions in the region are mounting after the body of a Palestinian teenager was found in Jerusalem Wednesday. Israeli police are looking into whether it was retaliation for the deaths of the three Israeli teens.
"If it was anyway retribution, we strongly condemn that," said Goldstein. "This is a serious and complex situation and a serious and complex tragedy. Having said that, the heinous kidnapping of three innocent teens who are hitchhiking home from school is not complex; it's a crime."
The memorial service is at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday at the Jewish Community Center of Allentown at 702 N. 22nd St.

Victoria Trotter, owner of Trotter's Dry Cleaners in Cleveland, has cleaned costumes for several feature films including Marvel's blockbuster hit, "The Avengers."
Yet, Trotter admits she hasn't actually seen any of the films her family-owned business has cleaned costumes for.
"I still have to sit down and watch these movies," says Trotter, with a laugh. "It's definitely on my bucket list."
Trotter doesn't have to see the films to know how substantial it was to work on them. The
movies that have hired Trotter's Dry Cleaners feature some of Hollywood's biggest stars.
Along with "The Avengers," the dry cleaning shop has handled costumes for "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," which was shot in Cleveland last May and June, and "Miss Meadows" starring Katie Holmes, which filmed here in August and September.
Trotter's Dry Cleaners also cleaned costumes for the "So You Think You Can Dance" tour, which came to PlayhouseSquare in October.
Trotter says productions like "So You Think You Can Dance" and small budget films like "Miss Meadows" increase the workload for her employees. However, big budget productions like "The Avengers" create a full-blown overhaul for the business.
"'The Avengers' would start shooting at 7 or 8 a.m. and wrap in the evening," Trotter says. "We would work until late at night or early in the morning in order to get clothes to them by 5 a.m."
Trotter estimates the shop cleaned more than 8,000 costumes for "The Avengers" over the course of a month. The outfits engulfed the dry cleaning shop's facilities on St. Clair Avenue and included high-end items like a leather jacket designed by late British fashion icon Alexander McQueen.
When "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" came to town last summer, Trotter's Dry Cleaners was faced with challenges that included four different filming locations. Trotter says her team met every single challenge the production threw at them.
The Hollywood life began for Trotter's Dry Cleaners in 2011. That's when Trotter met Harold Crawford, a former Hollywood costume worker who moved to Cleveland and became a customer at Trotter's.
Through Crawford, Trotter met the production team behind "Fun Size," a teenage comedy that was filming in the Greater Cleveland area.
"The way Victoria handled her business gave me confidence in her," says Crawford. "I was working on some film projects that were coming to town and people were asking me about dry cleaning resources. I knew it would be a great opportunity for Victoria and that her staff could handle the work."
'Fun Size' led to more film work for Trotter's Dry Cleaning. Trotter says the movie business pays well and has increased the number of local customers she has.
"It builds pride with our already established base and let's people who didn't know about us discover us," Trotter says. "They know that if we're up to the challenge for 'The Avengers,' we can probably handle their clothes too."
The movie business is a special source of pride for Trotter as well, who studied fashion for a short while at Kent State University before switching to law school.
She had no plans of joining the family dry cleaning shop her mother, Clair, started in 1969. However, when her mother fell ill, Trotter joined the business and eventually took it over when her mother got married and moved to Texas.
"I realized my mother had built a brand here that was so strong," says Trotter. "People loved her and trusted. This business built a lot of social capital and has become a town square of sorts for people in this community."
That trust led to Trotter's Dry Cleaners becoming a Cleveland base for President Barack Obama's campaign, both in 2008 and 2012, thanks to a referral from Cleveland City Councilman Kevin Conwell. Trotter keeps a photo of herself with first lady Michelle Obama near her desk.
Trotter also spearheads charity projects with school children in Cleveland and Detroit. She says things like charity work, the Obama campaign and branching out into the movie costume business are true to the vision her mother had more than 40 years ago.
"My mother loves seeing what we're doing," says Trotter. "This is more than a business. Our mission has always been to grow and develop relationships with our employees and the community."

The Westfield Area Y has announced that "Project Healthy Bones" classes will be offered in Westfield this fall twice per week on Mondays beginning Sept. 9 for 15 weeks and Thursdays beginning Sept. 5 for 16 weeks. Both classes are from 10:15-11:15 a.m. and held at the main Y facility, 220 Clark St. in Westfield.
Project Healthy Bones is for men and women who want to maintain their bone health and strength as the aging process sets in and bones begin losing density. Individuals reach their peak bone mass around the age of 30. With hormonal changes, bones start slowly becoming less dense. Heredity and life style factors such as diet, lack of physical activity and certain medications can speed up the demineralization of the bones which starts earlier in women than in men.
The class is a high intensity low impact strength training exercise program with small weights to improve or increase strength, flexibility and balance. These skills are transferable to all daily activities as well as other types of sports.
Project Healthy Bones is an osteoporosis prevention, exercise, and education program for adults in New Jersey. In 1991, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS) began osteoporosis prevention activities. New Jersey was one of two states to receive funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for this purpose.
This class is free to Y members and open to non-members for a minimal fee. Registration is going on now online or at the Welcome Center at the Main Y Facility. Contact Jean White at 908-233-2700, ext. 246 or email email@example.com with questions or for more information.
The Y is the nation's leading nonprofit committed to strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Visit westfieldynj.org to learn more about Westfield Area Y programs. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify.

Rare 'Harry Potter' first edition fetches record auction price
A unique first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" annotated by author J.K. Rowling has sold for a record 150,000 poundsat a London charity auction, Sotheby's said.
The 1997 book, featuring handwritten notes, 22 original illustrations and a 43-page "second thoughts" commentary by the author, fetched the highest price to date for a printed book by Rowling, Sotheby's said in a statement.
The auction house said the sale room fell silent on Tuesday as buyers engaged in a bidding war for the coveted book, which eventually went to a unidentified buyer bidding over the telephone.
The full sale featured 51 first editions, all unique one-offs featuring annotations and commentary from authors, as part of the "First Editions, Second Thoughts" sale to benefit charity organization English PEN, which promotes freedom of expression.
Other top sellers included Roald Dahl's "Matilda" with new illustrations by Quentin Blake for 30,000 pounds ($45,470), Kazuo Ishiguro's "The Remains of the Day" for 18,000 pounds ($27,278) and Julian Barnes' "Metroland" for 14,000 ($21,216).
The total sale fetched 439,000 pounds ($665,410).
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was the first in a series of seven novels by Rowling, about the adventures of a boy wizard living in a world of "muggles" and magic.
Only 500 first editions of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" exist, making them the rarest of the series, which has become the best-selling book series ever and was adapted into a multi billion-dollar film franchise.

What would happen if someone took a table-top game and turned it into a life-sized adventure?
Those who attend RVTV on Monday night in downtown Webster City, will have an opportunity to find out as the Missionary Alliance Church unveils its human foosball game.
Leah Feltz, who's helping to organize the event, said she's never tried the game, but is excited to help bring it to Webster City.
"This is a first for me. There's all sorts of ways that people have done this if you look it up online," she said. There are many YouTube videos of groups playing human foosball all over the U.S.
Feltz said she sought help from her church and its members to help with the costs associated with building the massive playing field. Her proposal was readily accepted by the church members who have also agreed to help build, assemble and operate the game.
"My husband works for a construction company and they're working with some of the guys from church to build it," she said. "It should look like a bird's eye view of a foosball table."
The plans call for a soccer ball and two teams of six people each - a goalie, a row of two and a row of three. Just like in the table version of the game, players will only be able to move from side to side to intercept or kick the ball. Participants will hold on to a crossbar and will have to remember to keep their hands on the bar at all times.
"They'll have to work together as a team, back and forth, to move the ball around," she said. Players don't need any particular special abilities, according to Feltz. There may even be a penalty for those who don't keep their hands on the crossbar, she added.
The builders will be putting the game together later this week to test it out before it's official unveiling at the RVTV event Monday. The problem with a game that large, she said, was making it so it could be disassembled into easy pieces for moving or storage. She said the game will be put together at the corner of Willson Avenue and Second Street sometime Monday afternoon.
Teams have already started to register for the event, Feltz said. To register for human foosball game, visit www.visitwebstercityiowa.com, click on events and select RVTV. That page has prompts to direct players to the registration form. The cost is $5 per team. The tournament is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Minard appeals continue
ADP petitions court to overturn decisions
March 23, 2013
The Allegheny Defense Project is trying to convince a federal appeals court not to throw the baby out with the bath water. In fact, the group would like most of the bath water back....
So what you have is a stalemate, and it isn't going to work for anyone. Look for for more of the same, or maybe worse. The Feds aren't going to hand over the surface, nor are they going to purchase the minerals.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Turn that around. Let the mineral owners, some of whom originally bought the mineral rights they now own at tax sale back years ago; let them try and purchase the surface now managed for the citizens of the US. See how that goes. No ANF?? Ain't gonna happen; and yes, lots of people are very "sickofit". Why the Forest Service didn't buy those tax-saled mineral rights located on Federal land when they were available is mystifying like so many things are here.
0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I applaud the groups for their action. The land was acquired to protect the watersheds from the abuse at the hands of industry for the citizens. I see no problem with requiring a NEPA study to protect the surface. Like most of the ordinary people, it is disheartening to see the drastic changes of the surface being allowed to spread on acre after acre that amount to theft of the public land for profit. On the contrary to a previous comment, the industry thinks the ANF is their private moneymaker.

The Church—because I found a church where people are real and transparent and believe in the gospel of grace and transformation—saved my life. Very literally. While I understand this artist's disillusionment, I fervently (and thankfully) believe that the Church is a gift that God gave us. He gave us to each other, to love each other and to run alongside each other, so that nobody has to navigate in isolation.
I completely agree that what the Western Church has largely become is not what is described in the book of Acts, but I don't believe that turning your back on the Church entirely, and categorically condemning all church-going believers because of negative experiences you've had in various churches is the answer.
Another problem with her notion is that it is entirely self-serving. The Church does not exist for you alone, but you also exist for the Church. By suggesting that, "There is nothing going on inside that church that I can't get for myself by myself," (which is a problematic premise anyway) she disregards the fact that other believers need HER as much as she needs them. God is showing the world—including other believers—something about Himself through her that nobody else will ever show in quite the same way. And that is true of each one of us. We show God to each other, and this is one reason why He wants us to get together, to share life with each other.
She has the beginning of the right idea—that the church needs to be different than it is. So she's exactly the kind of person who should stick around and make a difference, not indignantly turn away.
Great post!

A reader writes in:
"Hey Girls Chase, I'm finding these articles to be quite eye opening. You guys seem to really get what's happening as opposed to other people out there who try to help guys with this stuff.
I think I'll finally be able to put myself together for a social life with your guidance.
I have a question. I haven't left my family's house, and I'm 27 years old. I have spent a long time in my life struggling with my own self-image and trying to figure out what it takes to have a life where I'm respecting myself. I said I'd be brief. So I'll just get right to it.
Is it possible for me to be attractive to women and get a social life? I'm not looking for sympathy. I just want to know how I should feel about my circumstances. I've always been shunned in school growing up and don't really have a deep positive impression of human beings. I've only ever had one girlfriend and long story short she was ugly and entitled. I know how to be civil and polite. I know how to feel happy, I can empathize with other people, but I don't know how to make people want to be a part of my life. Thankfully, there's more to me than this sob story.
I've been working out and reading a lot of this type of stuff and it's been helping me to be better noticed and better treated by members of the opposite sex. I'm determined to change my life but the girls are looking at me NOW. I'm about more than just "nothing". Isn't there a way I can dive into sex and relationships?
Does me currently living with my mother and father automatically disqualify me from using the stuff I learn on your website on women and possibly experience the benefits? I've seen some SEXY women eyeing me and drawing close and the battle in my head is always the same. "You don't know what to tell her." So I say to myself, "I'll learn" but then my head pull out the ol' "mama's boy still lives with his mama and daddy".
Does it matter? If it does, how much does it matter? I have a feeling I'll find the answer to that soon enough as I read. I tried looking on your site for an article about this and the search turned up empty. So why not tell me what you think? If I still live with my parents will it get in the way of hooking up with or starting something regular with a girl I'd really like?
Thanks for your help
Sounds very familiar.
This is something that I ran into quite often in the past. I thought it'd always be a good idea to put off doing things until later. I'd learn how to get better with women later on. I'd wait until I finally got to the point where I felt "sexy" enough to start approaching women. I'd put off improving my fundamentals so that I could fix something else in my life.
Eventually, I ended up becoming a huge procrastinator, and only ended up working on those things when I finally got so fed up with myself that I had to do something to dull the pain of failure.
It all started with excuses popping into my head, saying that I'd be better off doing things later. But, like most things that I put off until later, they just never got done. I never became better at seduction simply by thinking to myself, "I'll do it later". I only got better when I took action.
The Solution That Never Is…
Telling yourself that you'll wait until later to do things is the solution that never solves anything. Like most negativity in your life, procrastination is a ruminative cycle that leads you absolutely nowhere.
You see, when you wait until "later" to do something, the action still hasn't taken place. There are times in your life where timing is pivotal to a goal, but it should be pretty obvious that your excuse is justified. Most of the time, telling yourself that you'll do something later indicates that you're just not willing to accept failure. However, there are some situations where you're going to wait, because waiting is the best course of action.
For example, waiting for your leg to heal before you run again is a justified wait. The wait doesn't come from fear of failure or laziness. Your lack of action is actually bringing you closer to your goal.
Thus, some clarification is needed before we proceed. I'm not telling you that action is the only way to proceed in life. Instead, your focus should be on working towards your goal. Action by itself doesn't guarantee that you'll succeed.
In Jonathan's situation, his lack of action is clearly not working towards his goal. You're never going to get better at approaching women by telling yourself that you'll work on it later; that is the result of a mix of fear, laziness, and the inability to escape the negative cycle you have been caught up in.
It's really easy for me to simply say: "Just start working towards your goal", but I know that even if you're armed to the teeth with knowledge, a negative mindset will severely inhibit your progress. When action eludes you, it's not because you don't know that you're supposed to act – that's a given. Instead, inaction is almost always a result of fear and a lack of focus on the present.
The first issue that needs to be cleared up before you even think about acting is fear.
Tell me if any of these excuses sound familiar:
I'd love to go out and approach women, but I'm scared of being rejected.
I want to approach women, but I'm afraid of my friends judging me.
I can't approach women, they'll never be attracted to a man who lives at home with his parents.
They're all recantations of the same thing. You can't do ABC because you're afraid of XYZ.
But, where exactly does this fear come from? Within.
The thought of rejection will bring pain upon you because you believe that rejection is a bad thing. The thought of your friends judging you brings pain upon you because you believe that your social status, which you prize, will be compromised. The thought that a woman won't be attracted to a man who lives at home with his parents is because you believe that a man who lives at home with his parents is not attractive.
The lines are blurred. You're reflecting your own beliefs onto others. In reality, rejection sucks for a little bit, but as long as you stay active you won't ruminate on the subject. In reality, you can shut down your friends' negative judgments. In reality, all of these things can be evaded as long as you are willing to work towards your goal.
You Must Move Past Fear
In order to move past the fear, you must eliminate it.
Back when I was a freshman in high school I decided to try out for the football (soccer) team. My confidence levels were high, as I truly believed that I would make the team from the beginning. However, during the tryouts the captains ended up choosing their own teams for a scrimmage and I was picked dead last.
Understandably, I was mad, and played like hell. I made the team, but doubt followed me on the pitch from that day forward. I became a scared player, because I was constantly afraid that I'd make a wrong move and be kicked off the team.
Thus, instead of working towards becoming the best player I could become, I was simply trying to hang on for dear life and not get cut from the team. I became afraid of making any mistakes, so I always made low-risk, low-reward plays. Understandably, I didn't get on the team the next year and was brought to new mental lows.
This was obviously not a good mindset to have, because I couldn't make progress. In reality, taking chances in games and trying to stand out would have helped me learn how to become a better player and kept me on the team. I may be scolded then for my actions, but in the end I would be a better, more experienced player, and would gain the skill necessary to stay on the team, which is what my coaches really wanted. No matter what, I would gain a lot and lose a little from taking chances.
Learning to pick-up women is similar to this scenario; it's always a win-win situation. For example:
If you go out and approach a girl, the worst you can do is fail, learn from that failure, and make progress.
If you go out and get a haircut, but it ends up being one that you don't like, you're still making progress because you've found a haircut that you don't like.
If you take a girl home and she finds out you still live with your parents, and she freaks out, you've learned that it does in fact matter, and you may need to think about moving out (or, alternatively, you'll be forced to figure out how to deal with that objection and still sleep with her anyway).
Failure should not be feared in a journey that is about learning, because failure is still progress. Think of what the oft-quoted Thomas Edison had to say about learning about light bulbs: "I have not failed. I've just found 10000 ways that won't work." He is precisely right, as without such trial and error progress would not have been made. Instead, he'd be off worrying that he may create something horrible if he did the wrong thing, and eternally be stuck in the negative ruminative cycle that leads nowhere.
As you can see, fear is nothing but a negative cycle. However, even with fear and its excuses out of the way, there is still a roadblock: procrastination.
Eliminate Procrastination: Act Now
Procrastination is the bane of all. You wish you could act now, but the actual act eludes you. You'd rather be locked into watching a movie, or catching up on a television series.
Procrastination comes from a place of complacency. When complacent, you don't need to work towards your action, thus you don't act. Edison wasn't complacent with not being rich and powerful, which sparked him to invent things worth selling to people.
If you're reading this website, I'd imagine that you really want to get better with women. But, the reality is, you may still be having difficulty on focusing on the one thing that matters: the present.
The past cannot be changed. The future is speculation. The present is the time in which everything happens, and the only thing you can have a measurable impact on is right now.
If you are too focused on the past or the future, nothing will happen, because those moments in time do not carry any weight in action. Putting things off until later is the plan that never works, because you are completely unsure of what will happen in the future.
A year from now the world could end. Ten seconds from now you could need to go to the hospital. Things in the future are out of our control and bring no satisfaction. The only thing that you can do to change your current state of mind is take action the moment that the thought comes up in your mind, otherwise you will be stuck in a repetitive mindset.
Think of it as hunger. If you're hungry, you know you need to eat, but are you going to eat later to quench that hunger? Of course not; the only way to fix the problem is to eat food now, otherwise it will persist.
Similarly, think of your current skill level with women. You may not be satisfied with it, and thus you seek that satisfaction. Are you going to procrastinate, wait, and only act on your urge in the uncertain future? That will only prolong your lack of satisfaction, not be a result of it. The answer is to take the only thing given to you, the present, and use that time to get better with women.
As I've stated, I used to be a huge procrastinator. I moved past it by setting myself up to the task of doing things the instant that I thought of them. This largely eliminated procrastination from my life, because instead of focusing on what I was putting off, I was focusing on what I was going to do.
This is the challenge that I pass on to anyone reading this. Whenever you think that you need to do something, do it. At any time of the day, ensure that you are focusing on the actions that you are taking, rather than the ones that you are putting off.
Some examples of this are:
Instead of focusing on all the actions that I was putting off late at night, I'd focus on falling asleep.
During the day, when I'd think about working out, I'd immediately organize my day around doing it, rather than ruminate on how I've been putting it off.
When I'd get back from my classes and think about how I'd been putting off approaching women, I'd immediately turn around and head back out the door so that I could approach women.
These scenarios can sound a bit silly to the passerby, but if you take the challenge you'll quickly notice that you spend a lot less time ruminating about your lack of activity, and instead you will be focusing on what you are actively doing right now.
When All Else Fails… Do It Anyways
When everything else fails, only one option remains. Take action anyways. No excuses, just action.
Without action you'll never make progress. You'll never achieve all that you desire. Action is the only way to get those things you desire in this magnificent, random world of ours. Every moment spent waiting is another moment that you wish you could call your starting point; that point in your life where you can look back and say, "That was the day I started. And I'm sure glad I did."

Barriers of Success
Good stuff Ross. I really appreciate the notion of seeing 'failure' not as 'I failed and will not succeed' or 'I was wrong and should be ashamed or embarrassed by it' but rather as lessons of what wasn't the answer at that particular time. Failures are what make successes so great and are the foundation for learning - they are part of what makes life so colorful, adventurous, and rewarding; not to mention each time we learn a lesson, we become much more hardened up and more well rounded as men.
Personally one of the largest barriers I've found in taking action is that 'first hump'--that first push or leap, sometimes into the unknown. Regardless of the outcome, after overcoming that first barrier, such as being the first to say 'Hi' or approach a girl, being the one who introduces himself first, being the first to offer someone help, guidance, or encouragement...whatever it is...I find that the next time becomes a bit easier; a social momentum as I believe it has been called on GC.
One scenario that often puts the clamp on my willingness to take action is when a girl is with another female friend or friends and as much as I want to approach, I feel like I don't want to embarrass her or worse, because she is with others, put her in auto-rejection because of social pressure or fear of being judged by her friends.
Granted this idea is very reliant on the outcome, which is something I struggle with to let go of, but I was hoping to get your take?
Thanks again for taking the time to write this piece!
RE: Approaching Busy Women
Thanks for the response Ross,
What you say certainly makes sense. I am most likely overthinking it from reading too many articles :) , but my concern stems from Chase Amante's articles on approaching groups (aka just approach the girl you are interested in, don't break circle first, and just the overall efforts being put end to manage 'group dynamics' being, arguably, waste of time).
Do you often approach groups and engage everyone or do you find social/sexual success in both engaging the group, as well as, engaging the single individual (being female)?
RE: Types of Game
Yes that definitely does clear up the confusion, thanks for breaking that out.
Tying back to my original question, from your story about the 3 girls; when you say you got her number and said bye to the group, that's the type of thing I'm referring to about potentially embarrassing her or making her feel judged by her friends for giving out her number - "OMG you totally want that guy! You're such a slut! Haha"...that type of thing. Do you ever worry about that when approaching groups during the day?
One of the lessons (again probably my night game confusion) talked about is around singling a girl out or getting her away from 'noise' to get the situation more comfortable for the both of you. Does this same thing apply to groups of girls (3+) walking down the street in the daytime?
Most likely the girls are getting lunch, maybe shopping, but they have something to do or somewhere to be so it seems like trying to pull a girl away will send mega red flags to the entire group. For some reason my gut instinct tells me "Yeah that would just be weird, too forced, and overly obvious around intent" instead of just having fun and being social, but I've certainly been wrong before!
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
Yes. I wish I had started earlier than I did. Like any pursuit in life, things take a little while to get things off the ground. The initial effort to do so is often what is off putting to many people, whether it be changing your diet, sports, a new career etc. Once you are off and flying but, you don't remember those initial challenging times setting things up. Great article.
I have the same problem as Jonathan :(
Dear Ross,
I have the same problem as Jonathan so I understand how he feel. :(
I am currently 25, recent college grad graduated from college for one yr, still trying to find an entry level job in my field. It seems like I am going to live with my parents UNTIL I find my first entry level job in my field.........Sigh. Living with parents sucks!!! ESPECIALLY I SHARE ROOM WITH MY DAD. So I guess this is even more grim than Jonathan's situations (assume he has his own room)
It is not a good feeling and this is why I said I have the same problems as Jonathan: For example, even though I bought Chase Amante's ebook (finally finish reading it) and read lots of articles on this site, I still have the mindset of "I probably can't practice Girl Chase's techniques UNTIL I find a job and move out."
A friend of mine who also read Girl Chase gave me this advice so I want to ask your opinion, Ross. *Hope this can help Jonathan as well
He said this: "Cwong, I understand you live with parents AND even share room with your dad so invite her home is definitely impossible. So why not break down into steps? Assume seduction is a 5 Steps Process: A,B,C,D,and E.
B=Deep Dive
C=Chase Frame
D=Physical Escalation
E=Invite Her Home
Since you live with mom & dad and even share room with dad, Wait till you move out to achieve Step E. HOWEVER, there is NO EXCUSE not to practice A, B, C, and even D!!!!
-> Why can't you just approach (A), get her # then don't call her? This way, you can practice Step A.
-> Why can't you approach (A), get her #, set up a date to practice B and C and D then DON'T invite her home? After one date from every girl you approached and date, cut contact for not wasting time. This way, you practice Step A to D?
So when can you practice Step E? AFTER you get a job and move out. This way, you are already good in A to E and now you can practice Step E. TREAT ALL THOSE GIRLS YOU MEET BEFORE YOU MOVE OUT FROM YOUR PARENTS HOUSE AS PRACTICE. THEY ARE JUST PRACTICE AND YOU DON"T PLAN TO SLEEP WITH THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. If you don't take actions, you will never be able to get good in step A,B, C, and D! "
I find this pretty inspirational....what do u think, Ross? Hope this can help Jonathan.
C. Wong
so a guy living with his parents shouldn't stop him?
as in, it shouldn't stop him from getting laid, getting a girlfriend, having a dating life/sex life? i'm 26 and i live with my parents, not financially stable yet, i wouldn't want to have to put my dating life/sex life on hold for a while because of this since i'm not getting any younger

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Daniel "Boobie" Gibson surrendered to authorities Monday on charges that he allegedly broke a man's jaw at a club in New Orleans in early July. Gibson, 27, husband of R&B singer Keyshia Cole, was booked with second-degree battery, according to an Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office.
The incident occurred July 8 at a club in the 300 block of Andrew Higgins Street in New Orleans, according to court records. Gibson and Cole walked by the man, who allegedly thanked Cole for "keeping it real." Cole had recently performed at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
The man then turned to tell a friend something, and Gibson allegedly punched the man in the jaw, court records said. Bystanders restrained Gibson while the victim was escorted out of the club.
The man was taken to a local hospital, where doctors determined his jaw had been fractured, court records said. The victim later identified Gibson as his attacker in a photograph line-up.
Gibson, of Westlake, Ohio, surrendered to the New Orleans Police Department on Monday at 9:45 a.m. He was later released on a $20,000 bond.
In a statement to TMZ, Gibson said, "Earlier this month during the Essence Music Festival, I was involved in an incident with other individuals while I was out with my wife. It's unfortunate that some see opportunity in taking advantage of people who work hard for what they have achieved."
Gibson told TMZ he looks forward to being vindicated when the facts come out.

"Snowshoeing is an effective, low impact, and safe form of exercise to
change body composition. It burns up to twice the number of calories as
walking at the same speed," said Dr. Declan Connolly of the University of
Vermont's exercise physiology department.
Connolly said snowshoers can vary the intensity of their workout, noting
that they can burn fewer calories by taking an easy walk on flat packed
terrain, or get a more intense workout, more than 1,000 calories burned per
hour, if they snowshoe in powder on hilly terrain at a pace of three miles

"Snowshoeing utilizes major muscle groups which, when combined with a higher
metabolic rate in cold weather and the added resistance of moving through
snow, results in a high energy activity", said Connolly.

The oaks and hickories have kicked their nut production into overdrive this year in Manheim Township's Landis Woods Park, off Rt. 501 norther of Lancaster.
Walking the trails there today it was nigh on impossible to take a step without cracking a few nuts and being clunked on the noggin at least a few times during the trek was a sure thing.
An army of squirrels was on hand. At one point I rotated slowly and saw a dozen of the critters all around me, each working its own few feet of forest floor with no need to encroach on his neighbords. I answered the bark of one squirrel, just because I like to get them really agitated by doing that, and three others answered by to me.
A magical time to be in those woods.

Kids can see up to 40 pets including cats, dogs, hamsters, ferrets and other household pets. Some animals will perform.
The library received a $500 grant award from the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation to host this show. It is a tribute to the Keats book "Pet Show!" which came out in 1972, during a time that Children's Services Librarian Susan Black describes as a kind of Golden Age for children's picture books.
"This show is a fun way to introduce kids to Keats' work, which was groundbreaking not just for its energy and vibrancy but also for its urban settings," says Black, adding that the library's pet show will be very similar to the show in the book. "Our show will bring together kids from our community, just like the kids in the book all come from the same neighborhood."

More than two and a half years later, with portions of the park still closed to the public, two Staten Island politicians have formally written to the National Parks Service asking that the surrounding area be groomed for the public, especially the acreage bordering the closed ball fields and Hylan Boulevard, between Buffalo Street and Fairlawn Avenue.
Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) and state Assemblyman Lou Tobacco (R-South Shore) sent Brian Feeney, Staten Island coordinator of the Gateway National Recreation Area, the letter two weeks ago.
"We believe that this overgrowth presents several concerns to our constituents, namely public health concerns due to the possibility of vermin inhabiting the area, which are directly adjacent to residential homes," the two wrote.
They're also worried about the overgrowth that covers pedestrian sidewalks along Hylan, claiming it creates unsafe conditions for residents who use bus stops along this stretch of roadway and could be forced to walk in the street, and provides hiding spots for miscreants.
Grimm and Tobacco said they recognize that the Parks Service is making every attempt to re-open the entire Great Kills Park for public use as soon as it's safe to do so, "but we cannot accept this neglect of property through which the general public passes."
"While it appears the National Parks Service periodically takes steps to clear this vegetation, it seems to be all too infrequent," they wrote.
The politicians also asked that their offices receive advice about what policy dictates how often those sites are cleared and what steps can be taken to have more regular attention paid to a condition that clearly is a concern to the public health and safety.
"The overgrowth and lack of maintenance of the closed section of Great Kills Park raises serious quality of life issues," Tobacco said yesterday, "including the health and security of the surrounding community. I am confident that the National Parks Service will take our concerns seriously and we look forward to their response."

A weekly look at people and places in the national press: This week, we look at a recent Los Angeles Times article about "Kill the Irishman," which opens today in Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles.
"A quick rundown of well-known Mafia cities brings to mind places like New York, Chicago and Las Vegas. But Cleveland? Fuhgeddaboutit . . .
"But there was a time -- back in the 1970s -- when the Ohio city was a raging mobster battleground. And when it came time to take out a rival, locals did more than bring a gun to a knife fight; they came on big and loud with all manner of explosives, earning Cleveland the moniker Bomb City, USA," says writer Mark Olsen.
"As [director Jonathan] Hensleigh researched [Danny] Greene, the sheer volume of newspaper articles and archival news footage he discovered made him realize the Irishman was, for locals at least, already verging on modern folklore. His film may just finally bring this regional antihero to a broader audience."
Olsen concludes with an interview with The Plain Dealer's own film critic, Clint O'Connor.
" 'For the folks who grew up around here, they all are very aware of it,' said O'Connor. . . . 'What struck me was why wasn't this movie made 30 years ago? It's great stuff, there's so much in this whole saga. I think part of it is the whole Cleveland thing. If it had happened in New York or Vegas or Chicago, Martin Scorsese would have already made the definitive film.' "
DeMarco is The Plain Dealer's Friday magazine editor.

Not sure how much word reached Harrisburg on the college media days that the Phillies sponsored the past three seasons, I believe. They were the most educational events that I've seen a team produce going back a few decades covering sports.
An all-day event, they wound up welcoming upwards of 200 college students from Philly area universities to Citizens Bank Park. The students had a chance to interact with a diverse mix of Phillies employees, members of the media who were invited to participate and Phillies PR staff, participate in a question-and-answer session with then assistant general manager Ruben Amaro, and then take a tour of the stadium. Oh, and they were fed lunch, with so much food on the buffet tables that even the college students were overwhelmed. The cost? Nothing. Students applied and Phillies officials took several hundred, trying to involve students from as many different colleges as possible. It was a fabulous chance to learn and network. And talk to folks who do what these students are considering doing, whether it's working for a team for a media outlet.
So it was a bit disappointing to hear that the 2008 championship season and its aftermath was so chaotic that the Phillies will skip 2009 and plan to resume the college media day next year. It was held in late January or early February, just as spring semesters were starting and before the team and its officials headed south for spring training.
What's equally disappointing is that other franchises in Philly, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington haven't copied the idea. Or if they have, I don't know about it. Now, that could change soon. Philadelphia 76ers Senior VP for Business Operations Lara Price did write me in an e-mail today that they're considering something similar for this coming offseason. If they do, you'll be among the first to know the details.
Obviously, I'm a lot more familiar with the Philly teams and their initiatives, having written a sports and business column and then blog for almost five years. As I'm here longer, I'll try to establish similar relationships and ask questions of the team management in Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington. and, of course, you'll see plenty on here as it relates to the Bears, Senators, Stampede, Penn State and other teams in this region.
But come next winter, assuming the Phillies follow through and hold another college media day, it's worth a shot at getting in, no matter how long the drive to get there.

Teenage Bonnie and Clyde arrested
By MIKE HALLIDAY
The Mirror
A 17-year-boy and a 16-year-old girl were arrested Wednesday by Federal Way Police for trying to rob an ATM machine at a bank and attempting to rob a man in his car.
The incidents occurred at almost opposites ends of the day.
At about 4 a.m., a witness called police and reported two people had broken into a US Bank drive-through cash machine.
When police arrived, the suspects were gone. Investigators realized the duo had used an explosive device to get into the machine but didnt succeed in stealing any money. The machine was damaged, however.
Then at about 11 p.m. that night, a man called police to say that while he was talking to a girl in the 29700 block of Pacific Highway South, he noticed a boy sneaking along the passenger side of his car with a rope twisted around his hands. The man fled drove away, believing he was going to be attacked, authorities said.
Officers located the two suspects, who told police they were planning to rob the man.
The female was posing as a prostitute to lure the man into being robbed, according to police commander Stephan Neal. He added authorities dont plan to bring charges against the man for soliciting a prostitute.
The officers noticed the suspects matched the descriptions of the two thieves from the early-morning incident at the bank. One of the suspects police didnt say

First, retail brokerages are a "de facto" bet on rising interest rates. If you believe that interest rates are bound to rise, it's probably time to stock up on some financial services companies. But which ones? On a macro level, Hintz says, "We are beginning to see signs of a recovery in client trading activity and asset flows, but we argue the pace of the recovery will be dependent on underlying macro trends and anticipate a recovery to peak 2007 levels in late 2012 or 2013."
Hintz says that "some boats just rise faster." He says beyond an interest rate boost, "differences in business models and client demographics argue for variation in stock performance through the recovery." Hintz argues that "Ameritrade (NYSE: AMTD) should outperform in the early stages of the cycle due to its higher reliance on trading revenue and its greater portion of active trading clients." As for consolidation among wirehouses, they will enjoy the benefits of economies of scale. While Hintz has been bullish on Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) in the past, he worries that integration challenges of Smith Barney may dampen margin improvement in the early stages of the recovery.
And that pesky independent brokerage channel? "The growth of the IBD is not necessarily an impediment to earnings for the major wirehouses in the near term. Management teams were quick to offer compelling incentives to top produces in the wake of the credit crisis." But here is an interesting observation: "That said, the next generation of advisors, though not major producers today, ,au fprgp tje wamomg bramdomg advantages of the wirehouses in favor of higher payouts associated with going independent."
Hintz has an outperform on Morgan Stanley and market perform ratings on Schwab (SCHW), LPL (LPLA), and Ameritrade.
