KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -Tennessee Lady Vol swimmer Jenny Connolly continued her strong surge on the summer circuit as she claimed the silver medal in the 100m back on Wednesday at the 2011 World University Games in Shenzhen, China.
Jenny Connolly Press Conference
Making her Team U.S.A. and WUG debut, the West Lafayette, Ind., native swam a time of 1:00.50 to notch second in the event. Her time of 1:00.40 in the prelims was the fastest heading into the evening finals. Japan's Shiho Sakai won the event in 1:00.28.
Connolly has another chance to pick up a medal at the games, as she is slated to compete in the 50m back tomorrow.
A week ago Connolly finished third in the 100 back and swam the lead leg of the 4x100 medley relay that captured second at the 2011 ConocoPhillips USA Swimming National Championships in Palo Alto, Calif.
Martina Moravcikova, who is representing the Czech Republic, also competed on Wednesday in the 50 breast. Moravcikova touched in at 32.50 seconds to place 13th in the event, just a quarter of a second off of qualifying for the finals. She returns to the waters Friday for the 100 breast.

Where is my mind
By Corrado Quadrini
7 Aug 2012
All began with the idea of a image that came to my mind wihle driving hundreds of kilometers during a winter night, in an hard period of my life (that continues), this shot passed trought my mind and i tried to reproduce in photos. Then i create other images from this first, and I'm actually trying to make it a project, partly serius partly joking, to reflect about me, my mind and the world that we live. My propousal is to add photos to the project not when I want, but only when images like this pass in my mind as happened before, when I reflect on myself.

The axe is falling on the troubled recorded music division, where roughly one in six staff will be made redundant. Most will go by the end of this month, with the rest out by September.
EMI, the world's third-biggest music company, said the revamp would save it £98.5m a year from 2004 and raise profit margins in the recorded music division to 11-13% within three years.
Chairman Eric Nicoli said the plans would put EMI 'back on a growth track'. He added: 'The restructuring plans will transform the performance of this part of our business'.
But the cuts would cost EMI £110m. The group is also to take a further charge of £130m for write-offs, including the cost of dumping fallen US diva Mariah Carey.
The dividend would be 'rebased' to 8p a share, EMI said, from 16p last year. The dividend has been unchanged for the past four years. 'Looking forward, the board will consider the level of dividend in the light of progress within the business,' it added.
EMI said it was on track to make profits of £150m for the year ending March, before the one-offs costs and tax. Profits were £260m last year. It has also agreed new bank facilities.
The stock initially jumped 4% but quickly surrendered those gains, trading down 1p at 345p after an hour. It was worth 505p last summer.
The world's top five music giants have been under pressure to slash costs and restructure after one of the industry's worst years on record when an economic downturn compounded the effects of waning CD sales and rampant piracy.
The revamp was masterminded by Alain Levy, who took over as head of the recorded music unit in October. 'We are shaping EMI Recorded Music for the future, and positioning it for revenue growth from a much lower cost base and with much better practices,' he said.
'There are some real challenges facing the music industry at the moment. However, we are firmly on target to improve EMI's performance, and we are optimistic about our ability to attack the broader challenges.'
The company, which employs around 10,000 staff in the division, has not given details about where the jobs will go, but a spokesman said the redundancies would be across its operations in 50 countries.

2010 stats: N/A (offensive lineman stats not recorded)
Mike Pouncey's experience at center in 2010 was unique, to say the very least. The Florida coaching staff moved Pouncey to center to fill the void left by brother, Maurkice Pouncey. Unlike Maurkice, Mike struggled immensely. Pouncey was the cause of a countless amount of errant snaps as he displayed poor communication with the Gators quarterbacks.
Time after time, Pouncey was over-powered by the likes of Marcell Dareus, Nick Fairley and Drake Nevis. However, the good news for Pouncey is that his stellar play at guard in prior years should still land him in the first round of the NFL draft.
Pouncey possess great size for a guard at the next level along with nimble feet. At Florida — like Maurkice — Pouncey went against top tier competition in the SEC. Pouncey has experience against some of the top defenders in college football.
Pouncey's versatility is another one of his big assets, as he can play on either side of the offensive line. With his determination and overall athleticism, Pouncey should be a starter for years to come in the NFL — just not at center.
With the retirement of Stephen Neal, and the uncertainty of whether or not Logan Mankins will report, the Patriots have a void to fill at guard. Kick return sensation Dan Connolly filled in nicely when both Mankins and Neal were absent last season, and should get the chance to start in Neal's place next season. However, behind Mankins and Connolly the Patriots lack solid depth.
Over the years, Bill Belichick has used his relationship with former Florida coach Urban Meyer to his advantage. Last season alone the Patriots drafted three Gators: Brandon Spikes, Jermaine Cunningham and Aaron Hernandez, all of whom had terrific rookie seasons. There would be no surprise if the Patriots indulged into the Florida crop once again this season, with Pouncey at the top of Belichick's list.
Pouncey would be a great addition to an already stellar offensive line. Although Maurkice was more polished at this point in his career, Mike has the potential to be just as good as the 2010 Pro Bowl center. Where Pouncey gets drafted really depends on the needs of other teams. Last season, Maurkice was drafted No. 18 by the Pittsburgh Steelers, so Mike Pouncey figures to go around the late to early second round.
If interested the Patriots should be able to snag Pouncey at either 28 or 33.

beware the beast man for he is the devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

Georgia returns four players with starting experience from its 2012 team – none with a higher profile than Caldwell-Pope – but face a grueling pre-conference schedule that will be a leading indicator of what they will be able to do the rest of the year.
Georgia will have to play well at the start of the season in order to avoid back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 2009. The Bulldogs face three 2012 NCAA Tournament programs in the first four games of the season – Southern Miss, Indiana and UCLA or Georgetown (during in a November tournament in Brooklyn, NY).
A trip to Tampa to play Big East foe South Florida falls on the last day of November while the annual fight with Georgia Tech tips the first week of December. Two more home dates before SEC play – against Southern Cal and George Washington – will almost certainly provide fourth-year coach Mark Fox enough knowledge about his team going into the conference season.
The good news is that Caldwell-Pope, specifically, won't have to learn Georgia's triangle offense. The sophomore said it took him some time to get used to the famous offense last winter.
"I got the hang of it after a while," he said.
Caldwell-Pope knows how important his play, particularly offensive production, is to the Bulldogs' season, and he says he's prepared for that.
"I'm more calm than I was," the former Greenville star admits. "I've grown a lot; I've matured a lot. There was pressure last year for me, as a young kid, to step onto this big stage. I really was a little scared. But I talked with my teammates and coaches, and they helped me get comfortable."
Caldwell-Pope said he didn't consider moving on to the NBA before deciding otherwise, saying: "I knew I wasn't ready."
Perhaps the best indication of that came during last year's Kentucky game in Athens. The floor was full of Wildcats who would soon pour into the NBA ranks. Kentucky took advantage of their lopsided talent advantage by harassing, annoying and slowing Caldwell-Pope down. The talented freshman ended the night with only seven points scored during 36 minutes of playing time.
It wasn't a fair fight, but it was an indicator on what life would be like in the NBA.
Kentucky won the game 57-44 on the way to the Cats' first national title since 1998. The game was a microcosm of the first part of Georgia's SEC season… the Bulldogs struggled to score, and it was a real problem – it was the reason they were losing.
Georgia only scored more than 60 points in three of its first seven games and limped to a 1-7 start to the SEC season.
If the Bulldogs want to escape the same fate they will need to get Caldwell-Pope and the rest of the five on the floor going offensively. Georgia did turn around its play last winter, but only after Caldwell-Pope wasn't the sole scorer on the team. During the last ten games of the season, which the Bulldogs split 5-5, Caldwell-Pope only led the team in scoring twice (home wins over Arkansas and Florida).
The focus wasn't Caldwell-Pope, and the Bulldogs played better because of it. But it's difficult to know how Georgia will replace the explosive offensive production of Gerald Robinson or the critical shooting touch of Dustin Ware. It seems clear Fox recruited true freshmen Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann for that specific purpose, but they are unknown commodities in the world of SEC basketball.
What's also difficult to judge are the expectations coming into Fox's fourth year. Fox injected much needed confidence in a program, which had been suffering in mediocrity for the better part of a decade. But under Fox, the Bulldogs have ended the year with two losing records two out of three years. The program remains without a NCAA Tournament win since 2002. Recruiting remains a challenge for the program, but signing Caldwell-Pope was a significant bright spot in an otherwise non-descript four years in recruiting.
If nothing else the Bulldogs have a tough pre-SEC schedule, which will prepare them for the rigors of conference play. It remains to be seen if they will be able to claw their way into post-season play, but that would be a major step forward for a program, which has struggled for going on a decade.

Last year, many people scoffed when the Central Christian soccer team was awarded the No. 1 seed because it had a losing record.
That's not the case this season.
Central ran its record to 12-4-1 Thursday night as it pinned a 7-0 loss on visiting Hillsdale to open its Div. III Brunswick sectional tournament.
Of course, Central proved it was worthy of its ranking last year when it wound up winning the district title and advancing to regionals for the second straight season. It got its 2001 postseason campaign off to a good start with its rout of the Falcons, winning its 11th straight home-field tournament game in the process.
The Falcons got a three-point night from Sheldon Steiner and two-goal efforts from Andy Yost and Jarad Sage as Central's balance proved too much for the Falcons to handle.
"Sheldon, Jarad and Andy all did a great job," said Central coach Dave Risser. "Our strength is our depth. We don't have a Scott Jaquet scoring 20 goals for us (like last season), but we've had 11 guys score for us this year.
"Whenever we play, it's who do you mark? We're deep and dangerous on the wings, and our wings and midfielders score as much as our forwards do."
The Falcons entered the game with a defensive mindset, packing it in around their goal, and that strategy worked for 13 minutes before Steiner opened the scoring. Steiner crossed the ball inside, had it hit teammate Jordan Mast in the chest and rebound straight back to Steiner, who netted the shot.
It stayed that way until A.J. Geiser took Jono Mast's cross to the backpost and delivered (11:30) to make it 2-0 and Yost supplied the backbreaker just 1:05 before halftime.
Hillsdale coach Steve Seaman cited defensive breakdowns on all three of the first-half goals, which put the Falcons in too deep a hole.
"We were fine if it was 1-0 at halftime," said Seaman. "We would have loved 0-0 and would have been ecstatic if we'd been up a goal.
"It took them 13-14 minutes to score, but we've had trouble giving up goals in bunches. It was 1-0 until 10 minutes to go (before halftime) and then we gave up two late scores. When it was 2-0 or 3-0 ... we had to put pressure up top."
Seaman had been reluctant to try to match Central's firepower, opting to defend Hillsdale's goal.
"We expected them to pack it in," said Risser. "When we had it down there, they had nine guys in the goal area. We just had to be patient, pass the ball, go wide and go out on the wings and cross it in.
"We were successful in doing that for the most part."
Hillsdale abandoned its defensive approach at halftime, but with only three subs on the bench, the Falcons were unable to keep fresh legs on the field, which allowed the game to get out of hand in the final 10 minutes.
Prior to that, though, Central's defense played superbly in keeping pressure of their goal, as keeper Kyle Beun wasn't forced to register a save and backup Andy Gerber only had one.
"Our defense was very solid," Risser said, "and I thought we built well and possessed the ball well in the second half. We established ourselves."
Sage scored his first goal with 15:56 left off an assist from Craig Mast, setting up Central's final flurry. Yost scored unassisted (11:15) with a blistering shot inside the right post from 20 yards out; Steiner scored off a Mark Risser assist (8:25) and Sage concluded the scoring with 5:44 left.
Central will face Mapleton next Tuesday at home at 7 p.m.

#1 & #2 – This former B list comedy actor and now a C on a good day was at a party with some actresses from a foreign country. He went up to one and started giving her a line about how he could help her career and basically hitting on her nonstop. The actress, a B+ television star in England told our actor that if he was her best hope for breaking into America that she would quit the business. She also told him how much she made the year before which is about four times what our loser actor earned.
#1 – actor
#2 – actress ( I know it is hard. She did do the show that everyone in England does)
#3 & #4 – This almost almost former A lister on television from a very hit show who is now just a very tall C list television and movie actress got really drunk a few weeks ago and destroyed her agent's house. Surprisingly though, even though she has not worked much, caused about $20K in damage in the house he did not drop her as a client. Could be because she is sleeping with his married boss.
#3 – actress

tippmann tpx pistol
First actual post on here....looked around alittle bit and didnt really see anything on this specifically so figured Id metion it...I was reading a thread earlier on here about lesslethal rubber balls for riot control or something along that line.....since it isnt exactly ideal to carry around a paintball marker with 20oz tank on it it would be a better idea to carry a paintball pistol...there are several makers that offer reliable pistols but from my research and experience in paintball the tpx by Tippmann would be a great self defense weapon. Firstly because it is not constantly pressurized and only beomces presurized on the first pull of the trigger. Then u dont waste the co2 cartridges(12 gram). Also you egt the same performance out of a pistol as u do a regular marker minus the weight and awkward size and hopper on top of it. Also there are several places to purchase .68 cal projectiles from glass breaking balls to chill powder balls....any of which will be more than effective if you hit someone in the face or neck region. Just figured this would be a good idea for anyone who doesnt have access to an actual firearm and was looking for soemthing to have around just encase..reatils for $219 and extra clips are relatively cheap..Sorry if this is a repeat just thought I would share, thanks.

So are you actually planning on buying one of these and carrying it? I'm not quite sure what you're saying. If you shoot someone in the face with a rubber or glass ball from one of these you could kill them. Which would set you up for some serious legal trouble. Or you could fail to kill a threatening person and end up getting killed yourself. Gun, taser, pepper spray, in that order and you could throw in a knife. I'd be pretty leery of actually carrying a paintball pistol for self defense.
yeah, not exactly something you can carry around in your pocket for sure... and the legal predicament that you would place your self in if you used it on someone would leave you wishing that you had used a real gun on them.
obviously I wouldnt carry this around daily when there is no reason to....but if it is your only option as a way of protecting yourself from someone or something that is trying to harm you ...well then this is a reasonable option.....I wasnt saying i walk around the streets packing a paintball pistol lol just like i dont walk around with a machete or bow and arrow or any other non firearm weapon...I have no need to pack anything at this time...but when developing a BOB this wouldnt be a bad thing to have in somoenes arsenal...obviously this wouldnt be my first choice but it certainly could do some damage if someone ever called upon it to do so...sorry for the confusion.

This is non sense bgaris0503, a paintball gun won't be useful for anything except to get you killed.
Lead isn't a man stopper at short ranges even less a pepper or rubber ball.
As someone mentioned previously consider a Gun, knife ,taser, pepper spray or go train your ass in some martial art.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the moment you realize that you need your weapon, you won't have time to go grab it, you need to carry always.
Is better to have and don't need, that need and not have.
Glass Bullet Kung fu
No lead required grass hopper, Think glass bullet Kung fu. or Google MB68P
Its A usefull tool that delivers a lot of force. 50 to 72 foot pounds of kinetic energy.
A .68cal projectile with that much force will mess up any animal or person's day. Make them think twice, if there still standing that is.
Now its no match against a firearm. But it does have its advantages.
A knife ,taser, pepper spray or martial arts are all good, Yet they require you to be up close and personal.
So if you can not have firearm for what ever reson, Seems to me these air guns would make a great addition or alternative with the right ammo.
These tpx pistol and other air guns can reach out 150+ feet .
The .68cal air rifles can hold up to 200 rounds and fire 20+ rounds a sec and reach out 200+ feet.
The pepper balls are just if not more powerful as any pepper spray, I know mine are.
If necessary, A head shot with a MB68P glass bullet with 50+ foot pounds of energy, will take out any giant just ask David, he did it with just a sling and a stone.
Not everybodys a mall ninja and not everybody has access to a real firearm legally or otherwise. Just ask our friends up north and those on the other side of the Big pond, Got Guns?
Heres some more info threds on the subject has lots of facts if you take the time to read through all the post,

If you think that carrying a weapon or training martial arts makes you a mall ninja you need to go read my blog latest post... besides, carrying a PB gun for sure will give you Mall Ninja 2011 first price.
In my country I can't carry legally so I train self defense and carry my folding knife, I would never trust my life to a PB gun, in your second thread link a lot of guys already explained why they'll never do it. One thing is riot control and another is self defense.
lol...you guys....oooooooo boyyy...well i appreciate the back up about a paintball marker thanks man! Also...I was not saying I plan on going out and buying one of these for self defense...i own alot of markers and buy about 2 new markers every year since i play paintball FOR RECREATION. Also i live in New Jersey, where gun laws are very tight. Actual firearms would def be the way to go, no doubt. However, already using the resources I have (paintball markers) would not be a bad idea. Not saying i plan on carrying a marker around with me, now way, no need to, it was just an idea.Furthermore packing a marker with .68 cal rounds meant for breaking glass...I would have no prob taking on someone who has a knife or spray or throwing stars or freaking CHUCK NORRIS...lol It was just a thought plain and simple, thats all, i wasnt saying its a WARLOCK of selfdefense just that it isnt a bad idea, thats all...sorry for thinking outside the box
Not worth the risk
Here's my opinion on this.
While I agree that a paintball marker could be very effective as a "less lethal" self defense option (provided of course it's loaded with the proper ammo), I think it's not the route you want to take.
Here's why:
A) As stated above, if you do kill someone with it, which isn't impossible, then you could be in some serious legal trouble. That's the case with any weapon you use in self defense. The point I'm trying to make is this: Don't assume that you couldn't possibly kill someone while using a paintball marker in self defense.
B) While a paintball gun is not considered a firearm, if you intend to conceal it on your person, it may still be considered a concealed weapon. If that's the case, you would need a CCW license to carry it with you legally. Then the question must be asked, if you have a CCW license, why not just carry an actual gun.
C) While they do make specialty rounds for paintball guns, how likely is it that you will have access to them? Sure, they make door breaching rounds and tazer rounds for a 12 ga. shotgun, but only military and LE personnel have legal access to this specialty ammo. The same might apply for paintball.
If your heart is set on using a paintball pistol for self defense, talk to a lawyer or your local sheriff about the legality of this option. Ask them what legal implications are involved in both carrying and deploying a paintball pistol in self defense.

" Up close and personal with a taser"???? I know you probably trying to sell these things, hense the name paintballarmsdealer BUT!! get the facts right. C2 tasers give you a comfortable distance of 15 feet in which to deploy the weapon. Hardly "up close and personal." And no, i dont sell tasers, but i do carry one. As far as other options i also carry a kimber pepper blaster, much more compact and dependable. Also has a 15 foot cushion.
One of my nephews has an A5. Make you doubting Thomases' a deal. Stand 15 feet away, turn around, and let him shoot you in the small of the back a few rounds. They'll have to carry you to the car. He's Navy and lives in San Diego with his wife and 4 month old baby girl. She has it loaded next to the bed. They live off-base, and can't have firearms of any sort. It is not even Top Five as an option, but it will send an intruder packing fast. Imagine the police picking a perp at the ER with a couple dozen welts the size of a golf ball splattered in a rainbow pattern trying to explain how he got that?
He was eleven and shot me once from twenty feet away. I paddled his ass until he cried, then I shot him with it. Lesson learned.

yeah paintballs hurt...a little...Once the attacker realizes that its just paint and they bum rush your ass you lose. All paintballs will do is **** someone off more.
A paintball gun is certainly better than nothing, as is a bag of marbles. It would at least distract your opponent so that you could make an exit. Yes, it could open you up to some legal issues, but so could beating them to death with a bat. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6, etc.
If you're legally allowed to, then by all means, carry an actual gun and learn how to use it. If you're not, then carry a knife or ASP baton and learn to use them. If not that, well...there's pretty much no "nonlethal" weapon that's tremendously reliable. Learn martial arts and stay out of trouble.

They do make pepper balls, which would have a greater range than pepper spray but you sacrifice the bulk and size. That being said, I prefer a 9mm.

Rubber Bullets Made With Glass
I have solid nylon riot balls for my Tiberius T8 and the damage that these inflict is intense. As a Canadian real handguns as a carry are a big no no. Would I put all of my faith in it for all circumstances, hell no but it defiantly belongs on the list of very viable self defence tools. Personally I have never carried a paintball marker for this purpose but who knows what the future holds. The self-defence rounds made for the paintball markers are issued to police and prison guards with good results.
So I just picked up one of these off craigslist for $160.00, I had to see for myself before recomending and I have to say I like it, Its great for a close range for defence at 100 feet or less. Its powered by a 12 gram co2 cartage and I'm getting 22 shots per cartage with the gun turned up to full power. Whats nice is the co2 cartage is not perced untill you pull the trigger the first time and its simiauto so as fast as you can pull the trigger.
weather getting nice here again so I'll be finishing up my videos to show soon you can bet there will be one with this little babby inflcking damage on somthing. Stay tooned.
Of course you would have to ramp up velocity. that with a rubber ball would be enough to break teeth, or a jaw, fingers, cause extreme pain. The best options would be either the TPX or the TIBERIUS, as both utilize a magazine. The Tiberius will leak air, as you have to pierce the 12 gram. the TPX will only pierce the 12 gram after a trigger pull. I personally don't see it as an EDC, but rather a tool for home defense. Just remember in Canada and USA the use of a paintball marker to injure, scare or otherwise non-sport related use, the local PD WILL treat it like a firearm. therefore if you are seen carrying it and, someone calls the cops, you will get 10 real guns pointed in your face.
EDIT. 90% of pepperball/riot control .68 guns are unbranded paintball markers, the same as you find at Walmart. most of those will be Tippmann 98 or A5. then the Tiberius.
the pistols wouldnt get enough velocity to really injure someone. they get less than a third of the fps of a full size gun.
me and a friend tried to mod one into getting higher velocities, but its just about useless and a waste of money and time..
Not talking pistols but what other volocity mods have you and you friend done on other guns? what was the best volocity you acheved? what was the easiest paintball gun to mod?
By the way the 68cal ammo I mentioned above can be found here.

I gave a talk on a Catholic college campus last weekend. It was an awesome, awesome experience.
Catholic colleges – the really Catholic ones – are among my greatest sources of encouragement for the future. All of those great kids who actually take their faith and their relationships with God seriously. It's a beautiful thing.
So I spoke to them about a topic that I have addressed here at CatholicMatch about a half-billion times: the importance of centering our lives around Christ and not around our search for a spouse. Not that searching for a spouse is a bad thing. But when we make it our sole motivating principal for – well, pretty much everything we do – we risk missing out on what God has in store for us if we were following Him instead of the cute guys (or girls).
In the course of that discussion, we happened upon a subject that is apparently all the rage among Really Catholic College Students. That topic is called "emotional unchastity." Here I've been speaking on chastity since before these students were born, and now these young upstarts have come up with a brand new take on chastity.
Well, sort of.
And no, "emotional unchastity" doesn't refer to entertaining sexually lustful thoughts. That's still covered under the normal sins against chastity. To be emotionally unchaste means to be prematurely intimate emotionally, or to give one's heart without commitment.
Now that I know what it is, I think they're onto something.
But I think "emotional unchastity" is a really, really bad name for what it is they're onto. I'm lobbying hard for a different moniker. Maybe "emotional boundary-less-ness" or something.
The problem
First, what they're onto. We women know the phenomenon well. We were particularly susceptible to it when we were young. We'd meet an interesting guy, and two hours later we were combining our last names and imagining our children. We'd talk to him and spill our guts and our life stories, all hoping our vulnerability would somehow prove charming and win him over. We'd lay our hearts on the line prematurely. And reality would generally slap us back into reality, but not before we had wasted a lot of time and probably shed a few tears.
So this emotional unchastity is analogous to physical unchastity, in a sense. Just as we give our bodies in premature sexual activity, we give our hearts in premature emotional intimacy.
But the use of the word "chastity" in the second sense is just an analogy. It's not an accurate description. And I'm concerned that using it to describe these emotional indiscretions can create a lot of confusion in young men and women.
The word "chastity has a very specific meaning. It refers to the respect, or lack thereof, that we pay to the sexual function of the body. That function, and the language that God created it to speak, are uniquely important. And thus, offenses against that language are described using that very specific term. Sins of chastity are sins against the meaning and the beauty of human sexuality.
And that's just it. Offenses against chastity are sins. When the Catechism lists sins against chastity, it names pornography, fornication, masturbation and sexual lust. It does not mention excessive non-sexual daydreaming or prematurely sharing feelings. Don't get me wrong, those things are probably a bad idea. I don't recommend them, and I think they can trip up your lives in a lot of ways. But they aren't, in and of themselves, sinful.
What concerns me is that I know that there are a lot of very conscientious, perhaps even scrupulous young men and women out there who don't get this distinction. They may be living extremely chaste lives, but thinking they aren't because – like every other young adult under the sun – they're having a hard time figuring out where their emotional boundaries should be. That's important work, but it doesn't belong in the moral realm in the same way that sexual morality does.
Another difference
The analogy breaks down in one other important way. Physical chastity means saving all sexual intimacy for marriage, for the wedding night. The same cannot be said about emotional intimacy.
Can you imagine saving all of our deeper self-revelation for the wedding night? "Okay, here we are in the honeymoon suite. Now, I have an inferiority complex, I struggle with intense feelings of jealousy, I'm deathly afraid of parrots, and once in fourth grade…"
And you think we have a lot of annulments now?
There is an art to learning how and when to reveal ourselves emotionally. It takes time and maturity to learn it. We need to help young men and women (and perhaps even the older ones) to find that balance, and we need to warn them against getting caught up in their emotional or romantic fantasies.
But let's call it something else.

For Michigan seniors Amanda Bowery (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester), Jackie Carron (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester) and Sarah Stanczyk (Grosse Pointe, Mich./Grosse Pointe South), the 2010 Michigan women's soccer season marks the latest chapter in a long running friendship.
Bowery and Carron have been playing side-by-side for 15 years, beginning with the Rochester Lightning in 1995. Stanczyk joined her current teammates four years later and, save for a brief separation for the first two years of college, the trio has been together ever since. They have played for three different teams, won a trio of national championships and are each the oldest of three siblings. It is no wonder a woman at Denny's once asked if they were triplets.
Despite all the time together, differences do exist. MGoBlue asked each of the trio to give some unique insight into their longtime teammates and friends.

With all the tweets and television shots and amateur photography featuring Robert Griffin III and Wale Thursday night, it was inevitable that someone would get them in front of a microphone at some point.
Or even holding a microphone, as it turned out.
"Did you enjoy the final game of the season tonight?" Wale asked RGIII on behalf of Monumental Network after the clock hit zeroes.
"You know, the Wizards would've loved to get a win, but I think this city did a good job coming together to support them throughout this whole playoff run," Griffin said.
Wale then complained about the officiating and asked Griffin about the Redskins.
"We've got a lot of excitement coming," the quarterback said. "It's our turn next, and we're really looking forward to taking advantage of it."
The duo also apparently acted as hype man for an arena just dying to explode for more than two hours.
So @Wale and @RGIII bouncing up and down like they're at, like, a Wale gig. It's crazy in here right now. Beal just nailed a 3. Insanity!— Mike Wise (@MikeWiseguy) May 16, 2014
Earlier, ESPN showed Griffin and Wale cheering. Wale was apparently eating some sort of frozen ice cream treat at the time.

They protect paws from heat, snow (spray socks with Scotchgard or other waterproofing spray), or allergens. They also help keep paw wounds clean while providing air flow for healing. Power Paws Greyhound Edition for �hare-footed� breeds (two center digits being longer than the inside and outside toes and a lack of arching in the toes resulting in the feet appearing longer) are available in 4 sizes. Power Paws can help your dog in so many ways! The advanced products have a reinforced toe which has proven very beneficial to dogs who have long nails, or neurological issues that may cause them to drag a foot.
The sizing guide is the best way to give estimates and averages by weight, by breed, and by foot print. Unfortunately, some breeds don't follow the guide, and some have 2 regular paws and 2 hare-footed paws, and some dogs are far from "average", but in general the sizing guide will be very accurate for the majority of paws. Our size guides are based on averages. Many people upon receiving the sock think they need to be the size of the foot to fit, and they forget that they are dealing with socks that need to stretch to stay on.

IT was pouring and I was seriously sleep-deprived the morning I took the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test, New York State's main certification exam for teachers. I had signed up for the four-hour test on a whim, but when my alarm clock blared at 6:45 on July 15 -- a Saturday, no less -- I rued my bright idea.
I was not looking to switch careers. As an education reporter covering New York City schools, I had grown curious about the test, which I had written about in my first year on the beat. In one front-page story, I had reported that nearly a third of the city's teachers had failed the certification exam at least once. Yet several experienced teachers had told me the test was ridiculously easy.
I yearned for the truth.
So on that rain-soaked morning, I dragged myself to Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn to see for myself. For the record, I had not taken a standardized test since 1986, as a high school senior.
At Murrow, I waited in line behind hundreds of other New Yorkers anxious to prove they were fit to teach. Some, I knew from my reporting, had failed the test repeatedly yet were still working as uncertified teachers, the kind the state is pressuring the city to get rid of.Continue reading the main story
But at least they came prepared. Everybody but me, it seemed, had a fistful of sharpened No. 2 pencils. I had just one, which I unearthed in a frantic search of my apartment.
That was not the only way I was ill-prepared. While others had spent weeks poring over test prep manuals, I had taken a single practice exam. The questions had rattled me. You needed to remember the five pillars of Islam, understand osmosis and know whether barbed wire was invented before the telephone. The math was so beyond me that I skipped five questions. (It harked back to trigonometry class, which I had not thought about since 1985.)
The Liberal Arts and Sciences Test is the most general of three exams that teacher candidates have to pass to get a state teaching license. It supposedly measures knowledge of basic math and science, history and the arts and humanities. It also asks you to read and answer questions about literary passages and newspaper articles, makes sure your grammar is correct and tests your writing skills with an essay assignment.
Fair enough. As it turned out, though, the real thing was considerably less taxing than my practice test. The exam was tedious and long, with 80 multiple-choice questions plus the essay, and more than a little frustrating. I cannot reveal the actual questions, because the state asked me not to. But I will say that some -- especially those that asked me to interpret works of art or literary passages -- seemed to have more than one right answer. For other questions, I was convinced that none of the supplied answers was right.
Curiously, the math was more manageable than I expected. You basically had to know how to multiply, divide, read graphs and do simple algebra equations. Determining the original price of a sale item given the rate of discount, for example.
I also breezed through the section testing communications skills. Analyzing newspaper excerpts, weighing objectivity, interpreting figurative language and identifying grammatical and structural errors came easily. But by the time I got to the essay section, my pencil was worn to the nub. Moreover, the assignment -- to opine on whether the rich should be taxed at a higher rate than the poor -- made my eyes glaze over.
I ignored instructions to outline my essay on scrap paper first. I just started writing, breathlessly making the case for a higher tax rate as if I were dashing off a newspaper article on a crushing deadline.
Afterward I sped home for a long nap, and put the rather dismal experience out of my head until my scores arrived in the mail this week.
The good news: I passed, with a scaled score of 284 out of a possible 300. (You need at least a 220.) But on closer examination, my results made little sense. I got a perfect score, 300, on the science and math section -- bizarre, considering that I failed precalculus in high school and never took another science course after tenth-grade chemistry. I am mortified to report that my worst score -- a 260 -- was on the essay.
What all this says about the state certification exam, I'm not sure. If my experience is any indication, it is not the best measure of someone's academic strengths and weaknesses. And as with all standardized tests, performance might depend more on your state of mind the day you take it than on your intellectual prowess.
Still, it's not a bad idea to make sure teachers can figure percentages, form a scientific hypothesis, recognize symbolism in a short story and, yes, write a well-organized essay. If I were in charge, I would probably make it a little tougher. There is just no excuse for someone like me to get a perfect score in math.
But that could prove disastrous. Of the 4,315 people who took the exam on July 15 in the city, a whopping 59 percent failed, according to the state. Although it is not perfect, the exam seems a necessary gatekeeping device for a profession whose purpose is imparting knowledge.
I approve, and hope that I never have to take it again.Continue reading the main story

" This place worked out great for us. The staff was so friendly. We had to leave at 5am because of an early flight, and they put out croissants and juice for us to take for breakfast. They were very helpful in giving us restaurant recommendations. This place worked out great for us on a budget. We've also been staying in dorm rooms in hostels for about four months, so having a private room and bathroom was amazing. We loved this place and definitely recommend for those traveling on a budget. "- Anónimo

Just wanted to let you know that we've added a link to your blog from the 'Simple, Frugal, Sane' page of our website — earthywomen.awardspace.com
Devora Sage, on behalf of the very frugal Earthy Women
photo by sassy gardener
First impressions are important when trying to sell your home. Extreme changes aren't always necessary. There are simple steps you can take to prepare your house for the market while staying within a reasonable budget. The interior plays a big role, but don't ignore exterior modifications, such as fresh lightbulbs, an attractive mailbox and welcome mat, shiny doorknobs, a silk door wreath and window boxes, to name a few.
The following reader tips can help you get a higher price and go from for sale to sold.
CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN: Take all personal items, such as pictures and trophies, and box them away. Buyers want to envision the house as their own, and that is hard to do while looking at 500 pictures of little Johnny and Suzie all over the place.
Remove clutter, and clean. No one wants to see dirt on the baseboards, cluttered counters or a filthy microwave. Dust the ceiling fans and stair handrails; sweep, mop, clean the toilets, etc. Mow the lawn, edge it and sweep or consider power washing the driveway, front porch and the curb. Make your flowerbeds look neat and tidy. Consider adding hanging planters and fresh mulch outside, too. — Neely, e-mail
WHAT'S THAT SMELL?: Smell is a huge factor. When you open the front door, what smell wafts out? Get someone not living in your house to give you an honest opinion. Put clutter into storage, not the garage. Add vanilla-scented candles in all the rooms. This scent isn't too overpowering and is the most neutral. Go through every closet, cabinet and drawer and pack it up or move it out if you're not using it. Ask your real-estate agent to walk through and give your home a once over. — Laurie, Florida
TEND TO THE DETAILS: When I entered one woman's house, it looked nice except that the carpet was awful and the tub was really stained. You can rent a carpet machine at the grocery store. The blinds are also a big thing to clean because they hide dirt. You want the windows to be open and plenty of light shining through or at least bright interior lighting. If you have a loaf of bread or brownies baking, it really helps offer a welcoming scent, too. — Katie, Virginia
FIX 'ER UP: 1. Paint interior and touch up exterior. All neutral colors.
2. Fix minor problems such as a sticking door, leaky faucets and broken/bent mini-blinds. We always figured when we were house hunting that if the small things weren't tended to, the big stuff probably wasn't maintained, either.
3. Be sure to take the trash out. Maybe I'm cynical, but when house hunting, the strong scents made me leery of what smells they were trying to mask.
4. Play music. We put on some smooth jazz.
5. Consider offering a one-year homeowners warranty. It's a nice incentive for the buyers, especially if your home is older than 15 years.
6. Display new hand towels for the bathrooms and some houseplants or fresh flowers for around the house.
7. Remove anything that has strong connotations, such as hunting trophies, campaign signs or hot-rod posters.
8. New light fixtures are a cheap update.
9. Have laundry baskets or boxes handy for an emergency showing. I kept them in the car, and, when I had a hectic day and wasn't ready for a showing, we went around and tossed things into the baskets and loaded them into the car to be sorted out after the showing.
10. Clean the refrigerator. Even if you don't include the fridge with the house, as a homebuyer, I always check the fridge. In my opinion, it is an honest evaluation of the care taken of the house. — Denise, Colorado

Facebook brings families closer together. But as with any medium, Facebook is sometimes abused, occasionally to damaging effect. The Facebook Privacy Settings options let you control who has access to your personal information. The page includes a Block List that prevents contact with the people and e-mail addresses you specify without their knowledge.
The Safety for Parents section of the Safety Center describes what to do if your child views inappropriate content on a Facebook page, how to help a child report abusive conduct, and how to delete an account of a child under the age of 13. Much of the information in this section parrots the entries on the Safety for Teens page, but it does include links to in-depth articles by Common Sense Media on security for teens online.
