New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 8, 1987, New Braunfels, Texas Page 8 Herald-Ze/funp. New Braunfels. Texas Wednesday, July 8.1987 Dear Abby Couple's Photo Skirmish Becomes a War of Words DEAR ARRY My husband was married before and has a daughter who is living with her mother in another state. A few years ago, this daughter sent us a picture of herself, and it w as beautiful. I bought a nice frame and proudly put the picture on display in our living room for all our friends to see. A few weeks ago, this daughter sent us a new picture. (She just turned 15.) I don't care for this picture at all. She's wearing too much makeup, great big earrings, a sexy, low cut dress, and her hair is all frizzy. I really would be ashamed to put that picture out for everyone to see. Here's the conversation between my husband and me when we got the new picture: Me: "I don't like this picture." My husband: ''I don't like it either She looks cheap." Me: "I agree. She looks like a prostitute." Well, my husband hit the roof, and said. "Don't ever call my daughter a prostitute again!" I said, "I never called your daughter a prostitute — I just said she looked like one." We had a big fight over this, and he said I owed him an apology. Abby, my husband has called my sister a "whore" many times be cause she dates many men. She is not a whore; she's just a popular, friendly girl. I never demanded an apology. Do you think I owe my husband one? MATHS TO FIGHT DEAR HATES: No, but if you hate to fight, in the interest of peace, apologize for saying that you thought his (laughter looked like a prostitute. And don't remind him that he called your sister a w hore. DHAR ARRY I do not agree with your advice on divorce and remarriage Have you read in the Rible what God says about this? "If you divorce and remarry you are living in adultery." I hope you print this. BELIEVER IN THE BIBLE DEAK BELIEVER: Since you are so well-versed in the Bible, please recall Matthew 7:1-2: "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you." DEAR ABBY: I sympathize with the family in Kansas who recently lost their 4-month old son. My 6-month-old nephew died in April, also while on a waterbed. However, the coroner's report listed the cause of death as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), not asphyxia tion. Several states now require an autopsy whenever there is a sudden death of an infant. This allows the family to know if the child was ill, had a congenital problem, and also to conduct research on this unex plained and unpreventable tragedy. Maybe the Kansas grandson died of SIDS. If so, it might help the family to know that they could not have prevented his tragic death, thereby relieving them of any guilt. There may be a local S)DS support group where they can obtain more information. If not, they can contact the National Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Foundation Inc., 8200 Professional Place. Suite 104, I^andover, Md. 20785. The toll free telephone num ber (outside of Maryland) is (8(H)) 221 SIDS (In Maryland, the num ber is 301-459-3388.) Sign me ... DV, A USO GRIEVING DEAR D.V.: Thank you for your compassionate letter. Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your nephew'. In the hopes that your letter may e n Ii gh ten other families stricken by this kind of tragedy, I am sharing it with my readers. DEAR ABBY: I just read the letter from "W.F. in Palmyra, Neb.," who wrote about the alcoholic lady who was drunk when he went to pick her up to drive her to a retirement home in Texas. The lady had told him that she had no family and he was concerned about her because she passed out and he didn't know whom to notify about her condition. Abby, I am a recovering alcoholic woman and I've been sober in A A. for four years. Please tell "W.F." to waste no time putting that woman in contact with Alcoholics Anonymous. He'll find Alcoholics Anonymous listed in the Yellow Pages of the telephone directory. Abby, if this woman has no family as she says, she will find a loving, understanding "family" with these people. A A. saved my life and I pray that this woman will have a second chance as I did. SOBER, GRATEFUL AND HAPPY DEAR SOBER: Many wrote to suggest that Alcoholics Anonymous could be the answer to this woman's prayers. Thanks to all of you. DEAR ABBY: I have a relative I call my cousin, w hich is what she is. but when she introduces me to someone, she always makes it a point to say, "She is my third cousin once removed," which is probably true, but most people don't know what a "removed" cousin is, and they couldn't care less Phis really ticks me off. Who cares, anyway? And why do people have to get so technical? A COUSIN IS A COUSIN DEAR COUSIN: It would appear that your cousin is putting as much distance between your relationship as she can. She may be correct technically, but it's somewhat of a put-down to be pointedly thrice "removed" in an introduction. County Agent What's on a product label? Bv JULIE JOHNSON County Extension Agent To attract health and weightconscious consumers, manufacturers often put all types of claims on labels In an effort to help consumers decipher food labels, the Food and Drug Administration has come up with the following definitions of these health claims: "Natural" has no official definition. It signifies nothing more than the product "occurs in nature." — "Sugar-free" products cannot contain any nutritive carbohydrate sweetener, such as sucrose, maltose, honey, fruit juice, molasses, etc. — "Low-calone" products contain no more than 40 calories per serving and no more than 0.4 calories per gram. "Low-sodium" products must contain less than 140 milligrams of sodium per serving. "Very-low-sodium" products contian no more than 35 milligrams of sodium per serving. — "Sodium-free" products contam less than 5 milligrams of sodium per serving. "No artificial flavors" means that the product does not contain arn flavors which have been defined as "artificial." "No artificial coloring" means that any ingredient added to enhance the color of the product is considered artificial. "May contam one or more of the following" means the manufacturer will use w hichever is available and is cheapest at time of production. — "No cholesterol" means there is no cholesterol detectable by any present analytical methods "Cholesterol-free" means that the product contains less than 2 milligrams of cholesterol per serving There is no consistent definition of "light" for food labeling rn general: it varies from product to product However, the U S Department of Agricutlure has issued the following guidelines for the labeling of "light meat and poultry products, though they don't apply to frozen dinners or entrees. I The term "light" can tx* used when a product or nutrient has at least 25 percent less than its standard reference product For example, light" may mean 25 percent less fat 2.

By IVES GALARCEP
After failing to score a goal in more than a month, and failing to win a match in almost two months, the Houston Dynamo were in desperate need of a result to turn around a slump that was threatening to send their season into a tailspin.
Sparked by the return of Oscar Boniek Garcia, and the insertion of Omar Cummings into the starting lineup, the Dynamo attack showed signs of life on Saturday that hadn't been seen in some time, and while there was no deluge of goals for Houston, Ricardo Clark's game-winning header felt like one. His 59th minute header off a Jermaine Taylor cross was enough to help the Dynamo post a 1-0 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night at BBVA Compass Stadium.
The Union were playing their third match in eight days, and it showed as the Dynamo looked like the fresher and sharper team. Dom Kinnear's side dominated all the stats on the night, producing twice as many shots and shots on goal, and dominating the possession battle, 61-39.
Despite those advantages, an some inspired play from Boniek Garcia, the Dynamo took a while to break through and finally broke through when Clark, having just had a clear chance go over the crossbar, came right back and streaked in to head home a Taylor cross.
Both teams were missing their top strikers to the USMNT's CONCACAF Gold Cup camp, with Jack McInerney joined by Dynamo teammates Will Bruin and Corey Ashe. Houston was also without injured captain Brad Davis.
The victory pulls Houston to within a point of the Union for third place in the Eastern Conference, with a game in hand. The loss marks Philadelphia's third straight match without a win. The Union will look to rebound on Friday with a match vs. Chivas USA.
Here are the match highlights:
What did you think of the match? See the Dynamo waking up and going on a long run of results? Starting to wonder if the Union are about to stumble out of the playoff race?
Share your thoughts below.
The Imperative Voice
Much better with Boniek back, but we missed a load of chances that speak to our striking needs. Could have been 5-0 easy.
Dynamo can't slide too much during the summer this year. I would like to see MLS Cup at BBVA this year. I think that's the only way we win it this year.
This team is night and day without Boniek.
Warren Creavalle may earn a spot in the starting XI yet. Has he tried the CF position yet? Just kidding…
Does Davis move into the middle when he comes back? I don't think you want to take Driver off. For me, after the Gold Cup, I think we see…
Bruin – Barnes
Driver – Davis – Clark – Boniek
Ashe – Taylor – Boswell – Sarkodie
Cummings for Barnes as a sub in the 60th to burn tired defenses. Creavalle to cause havoc around the 80th. Ching to kill it at the death.
The Imperative Voice
Creavalle should play LB instead of Ashe.
Brad Davis's technical ability (free kicks, corner kicks, penalty kicks, quality service into the box) is surely missed. Absolutely none of our free kicks or corner kicks looked dangerous. I thought our rookies showed some promise (Johnson and Dixon) and would like to see more of them. My ideal lineup would be:
Striker: Cummings Bruin Carr
Mid: Davis Barnes Boniek
Defense: Ashe Taylor Brunner Sarkodie
Subs: Driver (Davis) Clark (Barnes) Creavelle (Ashe Sarkodie Boniek) Chabala (Ashe) Ching (Bruin)
manny rivademar
It was a nice win without many of our regulars. My preference is Bruin/Cummings as forward, Davis, Barnes, Clark, Driver as midfield/ Defense is Sarkodi, Boswell, taylor, Ashe, Hall. We need another forward with speed and range. FO needs to work on bringing someone in for the stretch run. We have good experience in Ching, Wheeler, Chabala, Bruner, youth in Arena, Johnson, Dixon, Ownby. If Cummings can recover some of his speed and his ability, we are a lock for the playoffs. This is a good team that can be great (imo) by adding a proven striker.

Professor Titular De Tisiopneumologia
Universidade Federal Do Rio De Janeiro
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
In reference to the very interesting report by Spira and
colleagues,1which appeared recently in CHEST,
I would like to add another illness to Dr. Spira's list: Chagas'
disease. This is an infection, endemic in Central and South America,
mostly in the central heartlands of Brazil, caused by a protozoan,
Trypanosoma cruzi. In its chronic stage, it causes a
well-known myocardiopathy, as well as often very prominent esophageal
and colonic lesions, the "megas." Its bronchopulmonary
manifestations have been recently and extensively
reviewed.2T cruzi infects wild animals, such
as armadillos, racoons, and rodents, as well as humans. Transmission is
by the blood sucking beetles of the Triatominae subfamily, which live
in the cracks of mud-walled housing; by night, they bite their victims,
usually in uncovered areas, mostly the face, originating their vulgar
name of "barbeiros" (barbers). In the United States, the disease
may be seen in immigrants3 or be acquired by congenital or
blood transfusion transmission.
Chagas' disease may course with an acute phase, seen mostly in
children, with fever and inflammation at the inoculation site.
Occasionally, there is severe homolateral palpebral inflammation
(Romaña's sign). The chronic stage is usually marked by the
myocardial lesions, as well as the esophageal and colonic dilatations.
These produce severe symptoms (dysphagia, constipation) and typical
radiologic and endoscopic findings. The myocardiopathy is characterized
by arrhythmias and bundle-branch blocks, usually with severe and
intractable heart failure at the late stages. The anatomic basis for
all of these lesions is fundamentally similar. There is a gradual
destruction of nerve cells in the digestive tube walls and of
myocardial myofibrils by T cruzi Leishmania forms. The lungs
may be affected secondarily to heart disease (congestion,
thromboembolism, and amiodarone fibrosis) or to esophageal disease
(aspiration pneumonia). More specific, rare and even more rarely
significant, is the bronchopathy, which is the reason why Chagas'
disease should be included in Dr. Spira's list. It is a veritable, if
macabre, experiment in neurophysiopathology, perpetrated by nature.
Essentially, it appears that the destruction of Leishmania bodies and
the rupture of microcysts may denervate the bronchial walls. Lima
Pereira, as noted in the study by Bethlem and colleagues,2
showed bronchial wall ganglia with a decrease in the number of neurons
and with residual nodules, as well as ganglionitis, periganglionitis,
and extensive denervation.
The ensuing bronchomotor functional disturbances have been extensively
studied. In summary, a decrease in maximum expiratory flow rate has
been observed by some, though inconsistently,4 but not by
others.2,,5 Pharmacologic challenges have been
inconclusive6; nifedipine may cause a fall in the maximum
expiratory flow at very low lung volumes.2
Aside from the very challenging neurophysiopathologic model, the
clinical impact of these bronchial lesions is certainly small. In 250
autopsies, Koeberle7 found 13 cases of
bronchiectasis, as opposed to 69 cases of megacolon and 61 of
megaesophagus. The dilatation may extend to the trachea, which does not
happen in other diseases that course with bronchiectasis. CT and
high-resolution CT studies should help to better evaluate these
interesting lesions.

This book takes you on mysterious adventures that will twist your brain! Read about the awesome adventures of Hiccup Camicazi and Fishlegs, and find out how they defeat the evil witches' scary Vampire Spy dragons. Will Hiccup become King of the Wilder West?
My favourite part of the book was when Camicazi was trapped in a tiny box, because that part had an unexpected twist! The part that I disliked was when Toothless got taken away by the Alvinsmen's guards. I was not expecting that to happen!
The way the author describes what's happening all the way through the book is amazing! She put some parts in which were funny too. The ending was a cliffhanger. I like cliffhangers, but I didn't in this story because I really want to know what will happen next!
I would highly recommend this book for 7-11 year olds. From what I have read of this book, I would give it a 9/10.

Working with these kinds of subtle signals has enabled engineers and scientists to do lots of things, from detecting planets light-years away, to reading what you're typing by the sound of your keyboard.
For example, we now know of more than 150 planets orbiting almost 100 stars. The most fruitful method of finding those planets, so far, is called the "Doppler method." It measures radial velocity: how fast a star is moving towards or away from the Earth. If there's a slight variation in the speed, we know a planet is affecting the star.
There doesn't have to be much variation, either. Astronomers can detect a change of less than 20 MPH in the speed of a star that's 940,800,000,000,000 miles away. Knowing the change in the star's speed lets them calculate the size of the planet causing it.
Talk about measuring subtleties. It's a high-tech, real-life version of the steretypical Native American in old Westerns who puts his ear to the ground and reports, "200 soldiers, 50 horses."
Closer to home, however, measuring subtle things can put a dent in your privacy.
I hear what you're saying
We spend a lot of time and money on encryption, whether it's government secrets or simply Joe Shopper wanting to keep his credit card information secure.
Despite what you see in the movies, you can get encryption that's uncrackable by today's computers. If you want to keep your digital information secret from anyone, you can.
But there are two historical lessons we need to keep in mind: the Maginot Line and carjacking.
The French created the Maginot Line of fortifications after World War I to protect themselves from the Germans. In WWII, the Germans simply went through Belgium and around the Line. You know the rest.
In the 1980s and '90s, as car security systems improved, thieves gave up on the impossible direct assault and simply switched to carjacking. The security was only as good as the weakest link, and eventually you had to turn the key.
How does that relate to encryption?
At some point, the information you're trying to keep secret is not encrypted; the letter is not yet in its envelope, so to speak. That means there are at least a couple of weak spots, starting with your keyboard and your monitor.
A couple of weeks ago, computer scientists at UC Berkeley — Doug Tygar and husband and wife Feng Zhou and Li Zhuang —released a paper called "Keyboard Acoustic Emanations Revisited."
In it they explained how the software they had created could listen to the sound of someone typing at a standard keyboard and, with about 96% accuracy, figure out what was being typed.
That's right — it could read your typing just by listening to the sound of the keyboard on a cheap tape recorder.
Tap dance
Every key on your keyboard makes a slightly different sound, although your mere human ears probably can't pick up many of the differences. A computer can. Of course, it doesn't know what those keys are, just that key #1 is different than key #2.
Give it enough data and it can figure out words. Here's how.
After listening to about 10 minutes of typing, the computer ends up with a long sequence of keys, for example. It doesn't know what they are, so it numbers them: 1-2-3-3-4-5-6-7-4-8-9-7-10-2-11-7-12-13.
It notices that certain keys pop up a lot — say, keys #4 and #7, whatever they are. But it knows English, so it knows, for example, that the Space key will be the most popular character, followed by the letters E, T, A, O, and N.
It can start to make educated guesses about letters. The pattern 4-5-6-7-4 might show up a lot; it could be the word "the" with spaces around it. Deciphering "the" means figuring out which sounds correspond to the two most popular letters, E and T.
It starts to fill in the grid, replacing unknown key sounds with letters. It knows spelling, so it knows that XQGH isn't a valid combination, but OUGH is.
It also knows English grammar, so it knows the basic rules of how words fit together. The phrase "THE AND" is unlikely to pop up, but "AND THE" is.
When it has enough information — a few thousand keystrokes in a ten-minute period — it has enough raw material to work with for a reasonable translation: 96% of characters and 88% of words.
In a way, it's like decrypting a very simple cipher — one where each letter is represented by one character, in this case a sound. Simple substitution ciphers are incredibly easy. So are complex ones.
You can bet that if these folks at Berkeley know about this (and they were building on some earlier work by IBM), three-letter government agencies probably do as well. This may be news to the public, but it's not to Washington ¾ or Beijing.
Those folks also probably know about another technique, one with a much cooler name: Van Eck phreaking.
Where the Berkeley trick relies on the sounds your keyboard makes, Van Eck phreaking eavesdrops by reading the electromagnetic radiation coming from your monitor.
It gets its name from Wim van Eck, a Dutch researcher who wrote a 1985 paper entitled, "Electromagnetic Radiation from Video Display Units: An Eavesdropping Risk?"
"It is possible in some cases to obtain information on the signals used inside the [display] equipment when the radiation is picked up and the received signals are decoded," he wrote.
In other words, you could conceivably read a computer screen without looking at it, by processing the radiation it's emitting.
The U.S. government is well aware of Van Eck phreaking, and developed standards under the code name "TEMPEST" to prevent it from being used against us. In fact, "Tempest" now often refers to the general field of reading electromagnetic emissions, and computer systems can get Tempest certification that their systems are Van Eck phreak-proof.
The lesson is that tiny variations are important. Consider your genes — change a few Gs to Ts (or As or Cs) in your genetic code and you're a hemophiliac. Change more and you're a chimpanzee.
No human can look at the night sky and tell whether a distant star has a planet in orbit, nor can he figure out what someone is typing just by the sound of his keystrokes. But computers, which have the power to detect and analyze this kind of subtlety, can break through all sorts of barriers.

Free entitlement to early education
Some 2 year olds and all 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to 570 hours per year of free early education over no fewer than 38 weeks of the year. This entitlement starts from the term following their 3rd birthday until they reach compulsory school age (beginning of the term following their 5th birthday).
Free early education places are available at a range of early years childcare providers including nursery schools and classes, day nurseries, pre-schools and childminders.
There are various places a child can attend - these are often called 'settings' or 'childcare providers' and include:
- pre-schools
- private day nurseries
- Local Authority (LA) nursery classes or nursery schools
- independent schools
- accredited childminders
Childcare providers offering the free entitlement must be registered with both the local authority and OfSTED. Contact any registered childcare provider in Bracknell Forest directly to ask about vacancies or contact the family information service.
Free early education for 2 year olds
From September 2014, the government has committed to providing free early education to the 40% (approximately) least advantaged two year olds in England. Two year olds who live in households which meet the eligibility criteria will be entitled to a free early education place. Eligible two year olds in Bracknell Forest will be able to access up to 15 hours per week (up to a maximum of 570 hours per year) of free early education at eligible, registered providers, from the school term after their 2nd birthday.
In order to qualify, parents must be in receipt of one of the following benefits:
- income support
- income-based Job Seeker's Allowance (JSA)
- income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- support under Part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- tax credits and have an annual income under £16,190 before tax
- the Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
- the Working Tax Credit 4 week run-on (the payment you get when you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
- Universal Credit)
or one of the following must apply:
- the child has a current statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Education, Health and Care plan
- the child gets Disability Living Allowance
- the child is looked after by a local council
- the child has left care under a special guardianship or an adoption or child arrangements order
When should I apply for two year old funding?
The ideal time to apply is the school term before the child's second birthday however you can apply before or after this. We are unable to confirm eligibility before the child's second birthday.
How do I apply for two year old funding?
To apply, you will need to complete the free early education for two year olds application form. The form asks you to include your National Insurance number and date of birth in order for us to check your eligibility with the Government's Eligibility Checking Service. We aim to check and notify applicants of their eligibility status within 5 working days.
I am eligible, what happens next?
A member of the team will contact you to discuss available early years provision and support you to secure a place for your child. Your chosen registered childcare provider will claim the funding for your child from Bracknell Forest.
I am not eligible, what happens next?
We will provide you with information on other forms of assistance and support which could be beneficial to your child.
What happens when my child turns three?
All children are entitled to free early education from the term after their 3rd birthday. A child in receipt of free early education for two year olds will automatically transfer to the free early education for three and four year olds.
How do I apply for my child's free entitlement to early education?
Your childcare provider will ask you to complete and sign a simple parent declaration form and show your child's birth certificate as proof of age.
How many free entitlement hours can my child access each week?
Your child can access a maximum of 15 free entitlement hours per week.
Childcare providers usually offer 15 free entitlement hours per week over 38 weeks per year, in line with school term dates. Some childcare providers may offer to stretch the allocation enabling your child to take up fewer free hours per week over more weeks of the year.
Whichever option is offered by your chosen childcare provider, the total number of free entitlement hours your child can access per year must come to no more than 570.
Will I have to pay anything?
If you choose to access your child's free entitlement hours only:
- you will not be required to make any payment for these hours
- your childcare provider should not charge you for administration, registration fees or deposits
- uniforms cannot be compulsory
- parents should not be required or expected to take up additional services in order to access a free place
- parents can choose to opt in for additional services but these must be optional and charges must be agreed in advance and be clear and transparent
- childcare providers must not charge parents in advance and refund them when they have claimed the grant funding from the local authority
If you choose to access your child's free entitlement as part of a larger childcare package:
- you will have to pay the setting for any additional hours or services you take up outside of the free entitlement
- the rates which providers charge for their privately funded hours are a matter for them to decide and should not be dictated by local authorities
- parents should be able to clearly see that they have received their child's full 15 hour entitlement completely free
- your childcare provider should clearly outline any additional charges before your child starts
The free entitlement to early education has no monetary value to parents, but is a free part-time place.
When is my child eligible?
The free entitlement starts from the term following your child's 2nd (if eligible) or 3rd birthday.
|A child born on or between
|Can receive free nursery education from
|1 April and 31 August
|Autumn Term (September)
|1 September and 31 December
|Spring Term (January)
|1 January and 31 March
|Summer Term (April)
Can my child attend more than one childcare provider?
You can choose a maximum of 2 childcare providers. If your child attends more than 1 childcare provider, the free entitlement hours will be apportioned between them but cannot equal more than 15 hours.
Do I have a right to free entitlement with a particular provider?
The free entitlement does not offer a guarantee of a place at any 1 childcare provider. Childcare providers work hard to try and meet parents needs but are not always able to accommodate the times and/or days that parents want. In these circumstances the family information service can support you to find a childcare provider to meet your needs.
I am unhappy with my child's free entitlement - what should I do?
If you have any queries about the funding or quality of care that your child receives, it is important that you always discuss these first with the provider. It is in their interest to resolve any issues that you may have. Issues concerning invoices are best dealt with by your provider as they should be able to give you a full breakdown of the amount due. It is a legal requirement that they provide parents with invoices. They must also provide you with a list of their charges, including details of charges made for any time accessed in addition to the free entitlement.
If, after speaking to your childcare provider, you still feel that your child has been unable to access their free entitlement or are concerned about the quality of care, we have a complaints procedure (PDF, 125kb) to enable you to raise your concerns with us.

Of Mice and Bad Parenting.
The Sentry hadn't been joking. Aramancia landed hard against the unkempt, filthy floor of the dungeon, scraping her hands on the rough stone. She looked over her shoulder and shot the surly guards a venomous look before they slammed the heavy door.
"Been a while since we've had a little princess around here," a voice said from the shadows. Aramancia then realized that she was standing in a little pool of light that flooded in from cracks in the ceiling.
"About time," said another faceless voice. Aramancia stepped out of the light into a dim corner with a shoddy bench, not wanting to be put on display. A mouse scurried up to her. She extended her hand and picked it up, holding it up to her face. It was dusty, but soft, and holding it at least helped to calm her nerves.
"So what did you do, little girl?" Asked a third voice, another that she could not see. "There has to be a reason why you're down here with us. Unless you're just here for our entertainment." She could picture the perverted smirk that probably adorned his face.
"I'd watch what you say," she said coolly.
"Ooohh, a rebel," said the third man. "But you didn't answer my question. What got you down here?"
"I think it's best that you don't know," she said, keeping an even tone. The mouse squirmed out of her hand and skittered away. For the rest of the day, Aramancia stayed on that bench. Her hands were bloody and she hadn't the best impression of her cellmates, so she patiently waited for mealtime.
She first got to see the men when the guards arrived with their dinner. They stepped into the light from the ceiling to take the parcels of food from the guards. There were four of them, not three, and they weren't a pretty sight. Two of them looked like they could be sixty, while one looked young, maybe twenty five. The fourth one was even younger than her, and he looked frail and blank-eyed. All of them were dirty and sallow, and the eldest were missing several teeth each. The healthiest was the young one. He looked like he may be the dominant man in the dungeon.
After all of them had retreated back to the dank recesses of the cell, Aramancia took her food from the ground where it lay. Old newspapers were loosely wrapped around it and secured with a weak string, which broke when she tried to untie it. The paper fell open to reveal a pile of stringy meat that looked like table scraps, two slices of bread, and a banana past its prime. It was far from appetizing, but she had eaten worse on her father's ship when times were rough. So she ate silently. She even left a small amount of bread on the floor for the mouse.
Suddenly, a light tap on her shoulder startled Aramancia out of a thought. She turned abruptly and found herself face to face with the thin boy, who couldn't be older than 15.
"What is it?" She asked, on edge.
"Life here is easier if you have someone to talk to."
"Hm," she grunted. He was probably right. Lonliness in a dark dungeon probably would become pretty miserable.
"What's your name?" the boy asked.
"Aramancia. Don't ask for the last name. I won't tell you," she replied firmly.
"I'm Jun. If you ever feel like some company, I'll talk with you," he said. She nodded. The mouse ran up and took the bread happily.
"Just how old are you, kid?" she asked, changing the subject.
"Fourteen. Yourself?"
"Sixteen," she muttered. "How does a fourteen year old kid end up in a dungeon?"
"Oh.. well, I didn't commit a crime, if that's what you're asking. My parents owed a huge debt in taxes to Elivand... So rather than lose their property, they gave custody of me to the country," he said.
"That's nothing short of heartless."
"I'm allowed to come back when they pay their debt," Jun said somewhat optimistically. "But for now I have to stay here as an incentive for them to pay."
Aramancia was disgusted. Her father wouldn't have been afraid to live on the streets. Her father wouldn't have just tossed her in a dungeon under the city. Her father had pride and honor. She looked at Jun and sighed.
"Fine. I suppose I'll talk to you once in a while. What could it hurt?"

Anne channels a vampire-like vixen in this sexy new ad and her red lips and nails pop against her ghostly pale complexion.
Anne Hathaway, the new face of the Signature Collection by Tod's, looks extremely glamorous and I think it's her lipstick that really puts the look over the top. You won't get a brighter red than NARS Sheer Lipstick in Flamenco.
The lipstick is so creamy, you'll feel like you're wearing a gloss, but the vibrant red color lasts until you blot — or kiss — it away!
Do you feel sexier when you have on red lipstick, HollywoodLifers?

Oklahoma State cross country coach Dave Smith and heralded freshman German Fernandez shared a moment of panic last November at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. Fernandez was in the chase pack late in the race when he fell with a stabbing pain in his lower leg.
Torn Achilles and possible career ender, Fernandez feared, lying on the ground. On the course, Smith heard reports that Fernandez's tendon had torn and rolled into a ball. His thought: "I've ruined the best distance runner in the United States in three months."
Fortunately their fears were not realized. The injury was to the plantaris muscle and, after a short recovery, Fernandez embarked on an impressive indoor season, twice lowering the world junior indoor mile record with his 3:55.02 also establishing an NCAA mark.
It was confirmation that not only was he healthy but he's fulfilling the promise of his prep career that included being the sport's national athlete of 2008 and setting U.S. prep marks in the two-mile (8:34.40) and 3,000 meters (7:59.83).
"He's got everything," Smith said. "He's got the physical talent, the emotional and mental makeup to be great. I cant say enough about him."
Fernandez will get a test of his ability Saturday at the World Junior Cross Country Championships in Amman, Jordan. The meet has been the focus of his winter training. He bypassed the NCAA Indoor Championships two weekends ago to peak for the 8K (5-mile) distance of the course.
"That was hard for him as a competitor," said Smith of Fernandez skipping the NCAA meet. "But he wants to compete against the best in the world. He's going to see that at juniors, get a look again at the guys he's going be facing for the next eight to 10 years. I think it's important for him to see where he is in that field, envision himself wining against that field and having the opportunity to test the waters."
Fernandez finished 25th in the meet a year ago. Now his goal is for the top-10, though Smith's is top-15. "I also want to be on the podium for the team (medals), make something special happen," Fernandez said. "Last year was a great experience. I had lot of fun, met a lot of new people. It seemed professional runners run incredibly fast and made me motivated to train harder and maybe some day be up there with them."
Fernandez is still somewhat of a novice runner. He didn't run cross country until his sophomore year in high school and didn't become a full-time runner until junior year when he dropped basketball.
"I used to hate running," he said. "Over the years I've fallen in love with the sport. I think I can do some special things and meet a lot of people, have some connections for the future."

According to official statistics, the number of people in fuel poverty in England dropped from 3.2m to 2.4m households in a single day last year. Rather than a policy breakthrough, however, this sudden jump was down to a simple re-classification. The old definition of fuel poverty – a household spending more than 10% of income to adequately heat the home – was ditched in England in favour of "low-income high costs" model, where households facing fuel costs above the national median and where the cost of meeting them pushes them below the official poverty line are considered to be in fuel poverty.
This amendment to the energy bill also ushered in another change. The target to eradicate fuel poverty by 2016 has been abandoned. But Derek Lickorish, chair of the Fuel Poverty Advisory Group, expects government to set a new target before parliament's summer recess in July. "I am waiting with baited breath," he says.
As an independent advisor and head of the non-departmental public body FPAG, he attacks some areas of government policy as being "manifestly inadequate" to deal with the challenge of fuel poverty in England today.
Lickorish says "everything else is on the fringe", as he awaits the latest government policy. But the new target is unlikely to be straightforward. The political mood is "not geared up to eradicate [fuel poverty]", he says, "but rather to keep a constant pressure to drive it down."
The latest FPAG report put forward 20 separate policy recommendations as to how to do this. Improving the energy efficiency of our homes is, Lickorish says, the most essential. There are currently 1.56m fuel poor in homes rated EPC bands E, F and G, and he wants to see a target for all homes to be band C by 2025. "Anything less than Band C means we'll never get anywhere," he says, and this would offer "a long-term, strategic sustainable solution" to fuel poverty.
But we need to do something faster than that. Excess winter deaths "went up 29% last year to 31,100 in England and Wales", Lickorish explains. "According to the European analysis, around a third of excess winter deaths are due to cold homes."
Lickorish is a critic of the blanket levies on consumer electricity and gas bills that pay for energy infrastructure, claiming those unable to afford to heat their homes should have access to cheaper tariffs. "We have got to find a much fairer way. Today we have just over £2bn a year loaded onto people's bills under the levy control framework (LCF). By 2020, the LCF gets to £9.5bn." Rather than such "back door taxation", he proposes a graded system whereby a set number of kilowatt hours are levy-free, after which a levy is charged on an increasing scale. "That would be much more progressive and an incentive for all consumers to use less energy. Of the fuel poor, 85% use less than average energy. So you could set the threshold at 85% of average consumption and you would lift huge numbers out [of fuel poverty]."
There are some who believe fuel poverty is not an energy policy issue at all, but a welfare matter. One gets the sense that Lickorish has sympathy with this view. FPAG officially welcomes the £140 warm homes discount for those on the lowest incomes, and would like to see it extended to all those in receipt of cold weather payments. But that there is no plan to assess the impact of universal on fuel poverty until 2015 which, Lickorish says, is "a nonsense".
He also believes that other organisations need to take responsibility to tackling fuel poverty. Housing associations are a good example: "Things like refrigerators or water heaters [could] have a fixed frequency of 50 hertz, and when that goes higher those products go off. In exchange ... [tenants] get a cheaper tariff." His suggestions for other sectors include capturing gas from cattle flatulence and introducing bio-methane systems within large buildings. "I think there is huge potential for creativity," he says. "Let's not stay polarised, let's think big."
What responsibility lies with the utility industry itself? Lickorish has worked as chief operating officer at EDF Energy and is a member of both Ofgem's Sustainable Development Advisory Group.
Perhaps due to his background, he rejects the common idea that the energy industry only cares about profit. As senior manager, he says the fuel poor were always high on his agenda. And yet, Lickorish will admit, the latest round of energy price hikes "were probably unnecessary – and they'll live to regret it".

""How's it going, Janine?"
My FB asked me. I have realized, my 23 years of existence in this world is already approaching yet have I achieved something great and remarkable? It's been three years since I graduated from a good school but I can tell that my future doesn't depend at the school where I graduated for it is still my decision of what I want to become. I'm 22, but I still do not have savings. I have thought that at the age of 25 I should experienced an early retirement because I have big, big, big savings for me to put up a promising business. 26, I should get married to the one I love because my father will be 71... and that my savings will continuously grow and that I will have lots of good investments. I will be able to buy what I want, I have the power to tour my mother and father to see the beauty of life together. The bliss, smile, happiness.Wow, I love to live a life! Wait...
This might be an illusion because we live in a third world country. Yet, I can tell that it is not because of the country where we live, because we still handle our own steering wheel and arrive into the destiny where we want to go. We have to be industrious, and divide our body into three. But all efforts would be nothing if we got the WRONG opportunity. That's why people rather choose to be an OFW to experience financial prosperity yet bringing themselves in peril faraway from their loves.
I have come to think of going abroad too but my parents did not allow me for I am their only child. Sigh, what a lost opportunity to have big income. Big income, yet you are far from your loved ones as well. Sacrifice. Now, March is almost there. Where is the place for fresh graduates in the real world? Is there a job that really awaits them? And to those who has work, when will we finish our job, or the job we have will FINISH us. When it is already 2051 yet you are still like a working ant. Oh my G, I don't want that.
What the! "How's it going, Janine?" have come far. I shouldn't have blog this, should I? Bottom line is, I'll be 23 soon. :("
I thought that beginning is easy but I was wrong. Beginning is always the hardest - great man like Pacquiao, Jobs, Gates, Sy struggle at first too, or even just a baby struggled several times to learn to walk.. the beginning is always the hardest. I was a mistake that I thought I had my beginning this new year. Today, I'll strive harder to have a new beginning. My 22nd birthday and my birthdays that passed were always celebrated happily but now I celebrated my birthday with solitude to reflect because I've been dubious with my future. Let bygones be bygones to help me to move forward. This is my retribution for myself for being negligent for the times that I let it pass that does not contribute to my wellness. I'm going to work now and play later for time is rude, it pass us by unknowingly and uncontrollably.

Out for a Jog
Jason, Alice, Matt, Charlie, and the new pack member are standing on my front porch when I open the door. Davis is behind me, shirtless and ready to go, but by the look on Jason's face I can tell that something is bothering him.
Alice's candy perfume wafts up into my sensitive nose and I growl. She smiles innocently before brushing away her black hair from her forehead. Her violet eyes are mischievous as I step aside and let them in. Matt's blond hair is spiked up like he always wears it on the nights that we go out for our runs, and the new werewolf is dressed all in black, her eyes highlighted by piercing black eye-liner. I eye Jason as he walks in quietly behind the others, thrusting my chin towards the new wolf. He rolls his eyes and smiles faintly.
"Oh god," Davis covers his nose. "Alice, really?"
"Is it a crime to smell delicious?" Alice asks innocently, sitting beside Matt on one of our leather couches.
"Delicious is a hamburger on a summer day, your perfume is all kinds of nasty for my nose," Davis has always been the type to voice what I'm far too shy to say. He has the wonderful "foot-in-the-mouth" syndrome that I luckily didn't get.
"I like it baby," Matt says in a sultry voice. "I think it makes you smell like a yummy lollipop."
I smile faintly and pull Jason by his denim jacket towards our large kitchen. He smells faintly of his cinnamon body wash and Axe deodorant. His hair is pulled back into a short ponytail and his hands are unnaturally fidgety. "What's up?" I say, turning the tap on so I can finish up the remaining dinner dishes before going out.
"I've been looking into the new guy's background," Jason says and I feel him watching me swiftly and gently placing the clean dishes on the drying rack.
"His name is Sean," I correct him automatically.
"Right," Jason pauses for a moment before continuing. "Well, Sean doesn't seem to really have any background issues. He was admitted into NPS for his grades, which is very rare, but I can't find any notable things about his life prior to coming to our school."
"So, then he's a bigger mystery than we thought?"
"Exactly," Jason waits, still fidgeting slightly as I turn off the tap and dry my hands.
"Are you good for tonight?"
"Are you kidding me?" He smiles nervously. "I need this."
"Okay," I say, signalling to the living room. "Do they know anything?"
Jason shakes his head before staring at me thoughtfully. "It's going to be the first snowfall tonight."
"I know," I smile before heading back to the others, "I can smell it in the air."
Our first goal tonight is to see how long the new girl, Emily Smith, takes to shift. After watching her groan in pain for five minutes the familiar crunching of bones and tearing of skin, similar to the shredding of old sweaters and t-shirts, begins to resound off the tall trees around us. Her black hair grows shorter as her body morphs into a sleek, whimpering, black wolf. Her hazel eyes look up at us curiously.
"Okay," I nod sternly at the others. "Let's go."
The shift is quick for the rest of us, since we've had years to practice, and soon I am in my wolf form. Almost instantly I can smell the others around me. The scent of candy is more prominent now and Jason's signature cinnamon scent marks him as the pack leader. Matt smells like his hair gel and his scent intermingles with Alice's as he nuzzles her neck. Davis smells like the Doritos he had after dinner and the scent of cheese oozes up out of his fur.
Colour is not vivid in wolf form, but all my other senses are heightened. Like the ability to hear the tiny squirrels preparing for the snow fall tonight, or even the smell of the flakes forming high above us in the heavy, grey clouds.
Jason in his dark brown wolf form gives us a stern look. His brown eyes pierce through all of us and suddenly he is off, running through the gaps in the trees and jumping easily over the dirt mounts and hidden tree roots. I love the feel of the cold air as it rushes through my fur. It seeps into my excitement and makes me want to go faster.
Soon I am beside Jason and with a quick look at me, he dashes further ahead. It's been like this since I can remember. Jason running and me trying to catch up. So far he has always reached our destination first, a hidden circle of trees in the centre of the woods. At first, I was afraid of these late night runs. Fearful of hunters or other supernatural beings finding us, but Jason had stressed that I had nothing to worry about--that we were, are, safe.
The snow is already falling by the time we reach our spot. Other packs have already gathered there, friendly packs, but they are all staring at something just over the large hill behind the trees. I look back at my pack and at Jason, trying to ask them what is so interesting when a loud howl fills the snowy sky. I look towards the hill and see a large, white wolf.
I've seen grey, brown, black, even slightly orange wolves before, but I'd never seen a white wolf like this. At least, not in Diente. Mom had told me legends of the great white protector soon after I'd turned for the first time. But I never thought that he or she was real. Around me everyone starts to howl and I can feel the magical pull; the need to show my loyalty. I go down on the cold ground and half stand half bend in an awkward kneel and begin howling at our alleged protector.

Norway wins the 54th Eurovision Song Contest
By Amie Ferris-Rotman and James Kilner
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Norway won the 54th Eurovision Song Contest early Sunday in Moscow, when singer Alexander Rybak beat 24 other contestants with his song Fairytale.
Rybak scored a record 387 points, beating Iceland with 218 points and Azerbaijan with 207 points. It was the third time Norway has won the competition, one of the most watched television shows in Europe every year.
"Now Norway is really on the map," said an overjoyed Rybak at the post-tournament news conference.
The floppy-haired Rybak, a 23-year-old ethnic Belarussian who grew up outside Oslo, had been the pre-tournament favorite and he wooed the crowd with his singing and violin playing in the final at a stadium built for the 1980 Olympic Games.
In an interview with Reuters before the competition started Rybak -- who composes his own music -- said the song was based on a traditional Norwegian fairytale but with a modern twist.
Asked at the news conference why he thought he had won, Rybak answered: "In Russia they like nostalgia and melancholy. In Norway we're the happiest people in the world. The mix of them was a success."
Moscow was reported to have spent $42 million on the five-day event, making it the most expensive competition in Eurovision's history.
As usual glitz and kitsch dominated the show, including dancing Roman gladiators and one performer clad in a blue sequined mask, writhing on the floor. Continued...

It's in late 2006 that Alexis Damien (All instruments & vocals, production, songwritting) launched his new project PUWD (formerly Esthete Piggie), soon to be joined by female vocalist Asphodel (Vocals, songwritting, artwork). The multi-faceted musician's inspiration coupled to Asphodel's immeasurable vocal range and brilliance soon gave birth to their first album « 2 Unlimited », released on Ascendance records. The style was described as some gothic with death and progressive metal, as well as throwing funk, jazz and other experimentations into the mix, melding together to create an utterly unique and bizarre blend of styles and moods. PUWD's music is between awaiking dream and nightmare, schyzo and crazyness.
The album received rave reviews worldwide despite being everything but catchy! « Utterly Brilliant and a blast from start to finish! » 10/10 (Powerplay Magazine)
« there s more talent here than in a million identikit Goth Metal bands put together » (Metal Review)
For a band who deliver pop, metal, gospel, funk, soul and more in the first 4 songs of an album, Pin Up gave me a welcome boot in the sack with 2 Unlimited. It's an astonishing debut. (Metal Team UK)
If « 2 Unlimited » surprised by its originality, 342′s most significant feature might be maturity. Still extremely innovative and original, this new opus also gained in accessibility. More technical and elaborated, yet more cohesive and diversified. Asphodel seems to have found the perfect balance between unrestrained sickness and emotional beauty. She also delivers some impressive growls that may lead to questioning her feminity ! And as usual, no pitch or overdubs have been added in the studio!
Alexis Damien recorded once again most instruments, managing to deal with songwriting, playing, recording and mixing « 342 » while exploring new musical territories, transcending his own bounderies and showing new faces of his talent one didn't expect to hear. The new addition to the band is Alexis's brother Nicolas Damien taking charge of piano parts.
And as special guest, Andy Schmidt from the german band Disillusion appears (courtesy of Metal Blade) on the song « Vaginaal Nathrakh » ! No doubt that « 342″ will put Pin-Up Went Down on the map, showing their new and different musical approach compared to their first effort.
In autumn 2012, PUWD launched his new EP album, « B-Sides », 5 new titles. This album is featuring Romain Greffe (Keyboards) on 2 titles. In 2014, Asphodel left the band. Alexis goes on alone. Pin-up went down will be forever an OVNI in the musical sphere with a lot of fans around the world.

Notice issued by the Office of the High Commissioner for Australia on 12/8/1963 to John Myerscough advising that a reservation has been made for he and his family on the P&O Orient Line the SS Canberra departing 20/11/1963 from Southampton to Australia. The letter was part of the application and acceptance process for the Myerscough's to migrate from England to Australia in 1963 and kept as a souvenir of their migration experiences.
John and Doreen Myerscough migrated to Australia from Liverpool in England with their daughters Jill and Julie on 20 November 1963. Searching for greater opportunities and with savings behind them, they took advantage of the Australian Government's 'Nest Egg Scheme'. They were also assisted ten pound migrants. The family sailed on the P&O Orient Line SS Canberra and settled in Melbourne where the climate was said to be similar to that of England. They transferred directly to Altona Migrant Hostel and ended up staying there (most unusually) for two years. John worked on the Geelong-Melbourne oil pipeline, in construction, and as a sub-contractor all over Victoria installing ceilings. Doreen had another baby Paul and later worked at Rothman's cigarette factory in Brooklyn. The couple purchased a block of land in Melton, promoted as a growth suburb, but the potential for isolation, as well as the couple's inability to really get ahead, made them decide to give up the dream and return to England. They paid their full fares, sold their land and returned to Liverpool on the P&O Orient Line SS Oriana on 21 January 1966. However, the challenges they experienced inspired them to strive and succeed, and John and Doreen have subsequently become frequent tourist visitors to Australia.
Physical Description
Soft paper letter. White with black text. Personal details typed. Signed in pen by H McGinness - Chief Migration Officer.
The Myerscough migration documents collection offers the unique opportunity to record the experiences of a migrant family who returned home. It is extremely difficult to capture the narratives of the people for whom migration was a negative or unsuccessful experience and who cut their losses and left. Return migration by its very nature is challenging to document through memory and material culture from the receiving country as people tend to be geographically distant, as well as frequently reluctant to record their negative experiences often accompanied by a sense of failure.

Vanessa has been a stellar volunteer with us for over two years. Some of her accomplishments include becoming certified as an intermediate Volunteer Income Tax Preparer and piloting a project to build our capacity to help clients connect with local social services. We are truly thankful for all the work Vanessa has done for families in Napa County. She is a fantastic advocate and community builder.
How long have you been a volunteer, and why did you initially choose to volunteer with Cope Family Center?
This is my second year of volunteering. I responded to an advertisement to assist with tax preparation because I like to help people and work with finances.
What keeps you coming back?
I get satisfaction from the work and feel appreciated by staff and clients. I may not be earning a paycheck but I am helping put thousands of dollars in people's 'pockets' that need it and that is tremendously rewarding. Money received by families through Cope's volunteer tax program helps reduce stress by providing for necessities and also boosts our local economy.
How have you seen your volunteer role evolve during your time here?
This year I achieved intermediate level tax certification so I can prepare more complex returns and provide necessary review of returns our clinic prepares. I'm also helping with a pilot program spear-headed by Michelle Laymon of Cope: I assist clients completing applications for services and programs. Our goal is to free up home visitors to focus on bigger picture goals and activities while volunteers help clients navigate systems, processes, and workflows which are not always easily understood, especially when used once or infrequently – we can help with the learning curve.
Do you have one story you can tell us when you felt you were truly making a difference?
I recently assisted a family with four small children obtain needed funds to move into a safer home. I got goose bumps when I heard the funding was approved and the client teared up. She was worried that her kids would be homeless and was grateful for Cope Family Center's assistance.
What is one challenge you've experienced as a volunteer?
It can be a challenge to stay sharp with tax rules and regulations when you don't use the information regularly – for example we are preparing back tax returns on an as needed basis currently. However the IRS provides excellent training and materials and we can review charts and flow charts as needed. We discuss more complex scenarios with fellow volunteers, Michelle Laymon, and IRS personnel if needed until there is consensus regarding the correct application of tax law.
What do you enjoy about working with fellow Cope Family Center staff and volunteers?
There is a sense of camaraderie due to common goals. People are caring, intelligent, and possess a sense of humor.
What other work do you do in the community?
I've been a crime analyst at Napa Police Department and a computer applications developer and information technology director at Napa Valley College. I am semi-retired now and enjoy technical consulting and providing customer service at Coldwell Banker Brokers of the Valley in Napa, American Canyon, St. Helena, and Sonoma while regular staff take vacation.
What would you say to recommend Cope to friends and family who may want to volunteer?
Cope is a great place to volunteer. Your skills will be matched to needs and you and your efforts will be appreciated. You can choose how much time and energy you feel comfortable donating. Contact Aimee Inglis today!

Appointments Made
I freaked him out, big time. He backed away, astounded, thinking I'd mistaken him for someone else. Boys. Then I explained to him, saying I needed a tutor and he was the one. I didn't give him time to disagree, I really needed one and I'd found him! Ethan K. Marks. Taking hold of his hand, I dragged him out the cafeteria, ignoring the fact that he must be thinking I'm a lunatic and the fact that his shirt was ruined and that he'd be bothered by that.
The moment we entered the library, I marched us off so we were in between two bookcases and so that no one can see us.
"What-what are you doing?" He stuttered, annoyed.
"We need to make an appointment for our tutor-student meet up."
"Whoa. Let's backtrack, shall we? I don't even know you. Besides, I've got my own work to do."
"Like what? Get more A+'s? Please. I know that you pass every subject in a milli second and that everything is way too easy for you. You probably don't have any work to do but now you can pass on your knowledge to me, your disciple."
I'm not one to plead, really. But I was desperate and I needed Ethan.
"Ethan, please. I really need to pass a few subjects before my dad snaps. He's on the verge of bursting."
I think something finally clicked in Ethan cause the annoyance in his eyes disappeared, replaced with defeat.
"Fine, afterschool, the day after in the library. Till four. Alright?"
I did a little hop in joy. Ethan looked confused, weather to be flattered or annoyed by this little gesture.
The ring of the bells indicated the end of the school day. I gathered my things up, and went out the school door with a friend by my side; Stephenie Wilson the tomboy. We were both talking about sports; the normal between us, when Stephenie stopped in her tracks and her jaw dropped.
"Steph?" I moved one hand in front of her face and she stayed the same. I snapped my finger and she finally looked at me.
"What's giong on?" I asked her when she turned around and stared at me.
"Jason Crowe."
"To the left you dimwit," she whispered.
I turned around and looked at who she'd been gawking at and got the shock of my life. Jason Crowe, was grinning up at me from his black Mercedez Benz. What the hell was he doing here?
"Is he looking at you?" She whispered.
"Uh-huh. We'd met before. I gotta go, bye."
I walked slowly towards him, not knowing weather to ignore him and keep walking or talk to him. I couldn't believe that Stephenie Wilson, had looked at him like that. I mean, she never looked at guys like that. She looked at guys like, "Heyy dude, what's up?" But not like oh-my-god. He's hott. That is so not Stephenie. What was it about Jason Crowe that made girls fall for him? Well, I guess I was going to figure that out quite soon knowing that I was going to face him, sooner or later.

Friday, March 28, 2014 at 8:07PM
Feeling bummed that both men's semi-finals didn't go ahead today? Me too, but these pretty pictures of Julia Goerges for Stern Magazine cheered me up a little. Julia posted the pics on her Twitter, and I love the soft lighting and retro styling. I particulary love the stills - don't think the action shots work quite as well. But how cool would it be if a player actually brought back one of these looks for real? Enjoy!
