ATHENS, Ga. --- Quarterback Hutson Mason passed for 241 yards and a touchdown to lead the Red team to a 27-24 victory over the Black squad in the G-Day Game on Saturday.
A record-setting Sanford Stadium crowd of 46,073 -- eclipsing last year's mark of 45,113 -- and a regional CSS television audience viewed Saturday's game.
"It was a great day for Georgia period," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt said. "I thought the guys played hard. The quarterbacks made a lot of good throws and good reads, the run game was decent and the protection overall was good. Defensively, we knew were not going to show too much in a game like this. The big thing is for everything to understand what to expect on a daily basis in terms of things like hustle and communication. We've got a ways to go, and the players and coaches know that. It's a work in progress."
Mason went 18-of-27 for 241 yards and the touchdown, including 17-of-25 for 188 yards and the score in the first half.
"Hutson continued to show that he knows what to do," Richt said. "He was poised and he was in total control of what was going on."
Receiver Chris Conley paced the Red team with six catches for 124 yards, including a 53-yarder from Mason.
Tailback Brendan Douglas led the Red team with 40 yards and a touchdown. Tailback Todd Gurley had 32 yards and a score.
Tailback A.J. Turman scored two touchdowns for the Black squad, one rushing and one receiving. Receiver Clay Johnson had five catches for 75 yards.
Cornerback Sheldon Dawson led the Red team with six tackles. End Josh Dawson, nose Toby Johnson and linebacker Reggie Carter all four tackles, including a sack for Josh Dawson. Cornerback Brendan Langley picked off a pass.
For the Black, safety Corey Moore had seven tackles. Cornerback Lucas Redd, linebacker Amarlo Herrera and linebacker Leonard Floyd posted six tackles each. Cornerbacks Tristan Askew and Aaron Davis each had an interception. The Black squad had four sacks, two each by Herrera and linebacker Jordan Jenkins.
The Red team struck first as kicker Marshall Morgan drilled a 34-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead at the 1:53 mark of the first quarter.
The Black squad responded with a 1-yard touchdown run by Turman. Kicker Patrick Beless tacked on the PAT for a 7-3 edge.
The Red then scored the next two touchdowns. Receiver Reggie Davis hauled in a 10-yard pass from Mason and Gurley posted a 2-yard run. Morgan had each PAT, giving the Red a 17-7 lead at halftime.
Kicker Thomas Pritchard pulled the Black team to within 17-10 as he converted on a 29 field goal with 47 seconds left in the third quarter.
At the 11:03 mark of the fourth quarter, Red tailback Brendan Douglas powered in from a yard out. Morgan's extra point made it 24-10.
The Black squad got it to 24-17 when quarterback Faton Bauta hit receiver Uriah LeMay on a 41-yard touchdown pass with 4:52 remaining. Beless converted the PAT.
Morgan was true on a 30-yard field goal with 2:50 to go to push the Red lead to 27-17.
The final score of the day came when Bauta threw a 4-yard pass to Turman with 42 seconds left. Pritchard added the extra point for a final score of 27-24.
The Bulldogs will open the 2014 season Aug, 30 against Clemson.

The iLondon 2012 app delivers updated medal standings, event news and a list of venues with directions to them.
2012 Summer Games London Offline is a helpful app that won't bust your budget. The iPhone and iPad app fromTidels opens with a countdown to the Olympics. From here, you can use the app to learn about a variety of different sports and find out where and when they are happening and as well as how many athletes are taking part. Additionally, you can study up on the different venues, including the new Olympic Stadium.
And as the name suggests, it works offline suggesting to me you are loading static data onto your device. The review suggests the app is sluggish and incomplete.

Ancient Light
John Banville
US: Oct 2012
This may be my favorite of the John Banville's novels I've read, thus far. John Banville evokes sexual desire and adolescence with jittery energy, crossing the story of Alex Cleave (note the surname—even as with his wife Leah and their dead daughter Cass, resonances linger) as an actor in his 60s with himself as a 15year-old who took on his best friend's mother as a lover. Alex recalls: "It was a confusion between the categories of the verb to know."
What results reminds me of Nabokov's Lolita from a tilted perspective. Both share a linguistic precision and an erotic charge, intensified by the passage of years and the narrator's inability to recover a doomed relationship. Every Banville novel provides passages that leap out at you, demanding to be taken in and lingered over. Here, many more pages contain them. More than any of his other works I've encountered, if still unevenly, given Banville's preference for sly and determined confusion, Ancient Light succeeds. It combines the frisson of tension in a sexual attraction with the psychological complications and intellectual considerations that characterize Banville's erudite, oblique fiction.
For example, to take only two examples early on, as Alex nervously wanders in Celia Gray's house, wondering what's next in an otherwise empty living room, he recalls from his later years how "quick with portent they always seem, the things in rooms that are not ours: that chintz-covered armchair braced somehow as if about to clamber angrily to its feet; that floor-lamp keeping so still and hiding its face under a coolie's hat; the upright piano, its lid greyed by an immaculate coating of dust, clenched against the wall with a neglected, rancorous mien, like a large ungainly pet the family had long ago ceased to love. Clearly from outside I could hear those lewd birds do their wolf-whistles." It's almost comic, a Disney cartoon animated in real life, but tinged with foreboding, and the hints of "grey" and lasciviousness, of pets and the end of affection, permeate this reverie.
Hints of Joyce—"tundish breasts" in a Old Masters painting being Alex's only previous glimpse of the female form—do not prepare for the sight of a middle-aged woman before a mirror, unclothed. "Instead of the shades of pink and peach that I would have expected—Rubens has a lot to answer for—her body displayed, disconcertingly, a range of muted tints from magnesium white to silver to tin, a scumbled sort of yellow, pale ochre, and even in places a faint greenishness and, in the hollows, a shadowing of mossy mauve." This appears appropriate for a time about 50 years ago, with Irish reticence ("scumbled"?) about flesh confronting its exposure, mirrored mirror that Alex passes, as he in amazement glances her way.
His emotions take over. The novel juxtaposes his near-retirement with his long ago complications with Mrs. Gray. After they first join, he cannot figure out why she puts herself in such a compromising and dangerous position. He is overwhelmed: "engrossed in what I felt for myself, I had no measure against which to match what she might feel for me. That was how it was at the start, and how it went on, to the end. That is how it is, when one discovers oneself through the other."
This is a rewarding if elevated novel which demonstrates the legacy that Banville sustains from Irish and Continental writers working at a high level. Not that it's an easy read, but it satisfies for an aesthetic quality inherent in Banville's earlier writings, but the introspection typical to his anguished and longing protagonists here finds more of a physical release, if for a while. The momentum of Alex's adolescent adventure carries along the reader, through the more languid passages of his later life, which typify Banville's preference for a tamped-down, introspective yet restless tone. Against his hormonal outbursts, he stares down his fate in the mental prison where Banville likes to lock up his narrators.
They enter a place where the exploration of the psyche intersects with the erotic and artistic drives that pull Alex into maturity. Fittingly, these filter into Beckett after the "day of the incident", their initial coupling. "First love the cynic observes, and afterwards the reckoning."
This half-century of slow, but engagingly obsessive reckoning spans the intervening passage of time between the teenaged boy and the man in the twilight of his acting prime. This section, inspired likely by the recent filming of Banville's Booker Prize winning The Sea feels less controlled, more weightless. Banville shuffles satire in. It lessens the burdens of Alex's state, at least for a short while, among the power that the past, summoned up again, exacts. I've set up, to avoid spoilers, in detail only the first 50 pages.
Much later, Alex feels baffled. Ghostlier, gothic elements enter as he visits Italy, and the site (a bit too neatly) where Shelley drowned, and Cass died. This in turn flows into two novels Banville published about a decade ago, corresponding to ten years earlier in Alex's experience. Yet, he tells us that the very man he played in the film to be, Axel, knew his daughter, Cass. Moreover, this admission comes as a casual aside long into the narration, after he finishes the role. Odd.
Banville triangulates this with Shroud (2003). This told of Axel Vander, the enigmatic fraud (inspired by lionized literary theorist and, much later unmasked as fascist collaborator, Paul de Man) who Cass pursues before her suicide. Eclipse (2001) dealt with Alex's anguished reminiscences of Cass, and his reaction to the news of her demise. Recollections in Ancient Light shift. Channeled through Alex, they turn less reliable as the plot unfolds, and this subtle challenge to the reliability of his tale as classical references and dream elements hover moves the second part into a milieu closer to past Banville explorations—in The Book of Evidence, Ghosts, and Athena—into perils of trust.
This later journey into the echoes of Alex's youthful initiation into "this enigma of estrangement" as the intimacy of sex collides with the distance of autonomy continues into the present. Here, a lighter element, a send-up of the art house film scene, and Alex's opportunity to act on screen for the first time, blurs with a coming to terms with (or an avoidance of) why his daughter died. The elegant, if attenuated and uneasy, results will draw in any patient reader eager to meet Banville at his best.

Sat. June 7, 2014 | Bob Putnam | Email
Athlete of the year: Devon Jerothe, River Ridge, Sr.
Why we picked him: After finishing fourth at state in the pole vault last year, Jerothe dominated the event this season, winning conference, district and region titles. But the performance that put him over the top was at the Class 3A state meet at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, where he came from behind to win what had been an elusive title with a leap of 14 feet. Jerothe was the only competitor in 3A to clear that mark and was the only boys athlete from the North Suncoast to win a state title this season.
Most impressive accomplishment: Because of wind and heavy rain, the pole vault event was delayed twice during the state meet. In warmups, Jerothe landed awkwardly in the pit and felt something pop in his elbow, but it turned out to be just a sprain. Then Jerothe missed his two attempts at 13 feet and was down to his final jump before being eliminated. Jerothe needed his final attempt to clear the next height, too. But he continued to survive and watched as the rest of competitors continued to be eliminated until he was the only one left.
Did you know? Jerothe comes from a family of vaulters. His father, Russell, vaulted in high school and is now a coach. Devon's older brother, Ryan, is an All-American vaulter at Nova Southeastern. And Devon's younger brother, Garrett, vaults for the Knights and finished 10th at state.
What's next: Jerothe plans to attend West Florida, but will be unable to continue vaulting because the school does not have a track program. He still is trying to see if he can land a track scholarship elsewhere.

Athlete of the year: Alfreda Steele, Pasco, So.
Why we picked her: Steele established herself as one of the state's premier sprinting specialists after placing third at state in the 100 meters as a freshman last season. She made even bigger strides this season, placing in the top two in both the 100 and 200 at nearly every major meet. But it was the Class 2A state meet where she really shined. Steele won the 200 (24.05 seconds), was the runnerup in the 100 (11.99) and long jump (18-3.75), and anchored the Pirates' 4x100 relay team to a seventh-place finish (50.88). She accounted for 28 of Pasco's 30 points, which helped the team place seventh overall. The state title in the 200 was Steele's first at the high school level and she was only one of four North Suncoast female athletes to win a state title this season. What set Steele apart was how well she did in a multitude of events.
Most impressive accomplishment: Steele's best event was the 100, but she did not have enough to catch defending state champion Deanna Hill of Lake Highland Prep. In the 200, she zeroed in on Hill, her biggest nemesis. This time, Steele held her off to win with a time that was a personal best.
Did you know? Steele became the first female athlete from Pasco to win a state title in track and field.
What's next: Steele will continue to run in the offseason to prepare for her junior season.

The tv personalities still bring up the GSP/Serra chin incident from 6 years ago, because deep down despite him being the PPV "king", an American champ is probably more marketable.
It's true, but there's a problem with that. Brock had the it factor and was their main draw. Eventually he got beat twice and most likely against JDS had they fought. The UFC may "favor" fighters, but they understand full well that each of their stable of fighters may come and go for different reasons so they're able to throw their weight behind anyone. They didn't know how to market JDS so they put em against all the toughest opponents and he kept knocking them out. Seriously who has to go through the path he did to get the title.
So yah Cain would be a viable option to push towards that market, but it's irrelevant. They'll still get that demographic although it would be easier with a Hispanic champion at the helm.

has anyone else ever brought up that BROWN PRIDE is indeed a very serious hispanic gang in this country? He has it clearly tatted on his chest. Im not saying that he was for sure a gang affiliate, but if i seen him on cops instead of the UFC, thatd be my first thought. Maybe he just has it because hes a prowd hispanic. Not trying to start a fire here, just wondering if anyone watches Gangland and has ever thought about this.
Hey yo! Watch those shows, documentaries, and read books about it. First, Brown Pride is not a gang it's more of a symbolism to show unity. Latino gangs are many; MS-13, 18 Street, Hazard, White Fence, Florencia 13, Latin Kings, and basically every street corner in the hood. Divided into hispanic, African Americans, and other ethnic minorities. Many sub divisions, crews, sides, factions, regions, etc. In prison it's segregated by race so old rivalries are pretty much gone. Cain while hispanic would be considered a Norteno which means he could very well have issues against Surenos. It's prison politics. The woods are under the AB banner don't matter if you banged in a black, hispanic, or Asian gang with the exception of the La Eme founder (Joe "Peg Leg" Morgan who was Croatian) which is pretty damn rare. Blacks are with BGF or CN. Others are in PC or segregated and not in the mainlines or GP. Shotcallers are in the SHU (PB prison) and triple OGs are in ADX; mafia bosses, bombers, cartel and gang leaders, etc.
I could literally go on for another 100 pages. Some of the shows portray a different light, for the most part I think it's fairly accurate. Ultimately it is a contradiction. You can't see WP without claming racism while minorities do it all the time. Sadly BP is no longer around as the government viewed them as a local militant/terrorist group and completely dismantled the organization. That was the 50's - 80's. Once the 80's came around it was the rise of the B's and C's. That's another topic.
Personally it doesn't bother me at all. You see it all the time. Good for them if they're proud of their heritage. He speaks it fluently and carries himself well. I liked how his coach said to him when he first started training that he's to mop the floor even when becomes champion. Lo and behold it flash pans to him mopping the floor. That's modesty and hardwork you can not teach. It has to be ingrained.
I would have picked JDS again, but something tells me we'll see a trilogy so I did pick Cain and have a nice lil million dollar credit bet with LL. Yahoo!

Why do you think the requirements analysis process is so difficult?
Because requirements is the translation of chaotic business issues into a sequence of logic steps. If you have clear logic steps, then the program will be easy, otherwise the program will be messy and buggy. In order to analyze the requirement, you need to understanding what is the goal, what is the inputs and outputs and where to find all the inputs. that is why it is complicated.
computers You next task is to develop a 'C' program to find a root using Secant Method. You'll have to perform the five iterations to obtain the smallest positive root of the equation f(x) =sin x+2tan x

One of Hannah Stuart's most memorable college experiences can be summed up as her time as a human ball.
"I curled up into a little ball and two of the crew-members tossed me back and forth," says Ms. Stuart, BS '11, describing time she spent aboard the Weightless Wonder aircraft with three classmates after they earned a spot in NASA's Microgravity University.
The program, officially called the Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program, allows teams of undergraduate students to conduct experiments in micro-gravity conditions—where gravitational forces are not quite zero but are very small. Fourteen teams were selected to participate in the program this June out of more than 60 groups that submitted detailed experiment proposals. This year marked the first year since 1999 that a GW team has been selected.
All photos, courtesy of NASA
Ms. Stuart and her team members—Micah Foster, BS '11, Andrew Breest, BS '11, and seniors Danielle Barsky and Matt Wilkins—investigated the Plateau-Rayleigh instability principle, which explains why fluids break up into smaller droplets as their streams accelerate to the ground (think of a thin stream of water dripping from a kitchen faucet).
The team wanted to see whether the principle would hold true under microgravity conditions—a question that could have implications for the production of materials on the International Space Station, as well as in fields like pharmaceutical manufacturing. Knowing how fluids behave also makes technology such as ink-jet printers and 3-D prototyping machines possible.
The Weightless Wonder plane, which is owned by a company called ZeroG and contracted by NASA, simulates weightlessness by flying a series of about 30 parabolic curves over the Gulf of Mexico. Near the crest of each parabola, fliers in the plane experience about 25 seconds of weightlessness. During the 100-minute flight, which includes takeoff and landing, fliers can expect about 13 total minutes of weightlessness. At this time, teams are expected to run their experiments and gather as much data as possible.
For the team, preparation for 13 minutes of experimentation started months before. The students learned that their proposal had been accepted in December 2010, which kick-started a six-month period of building and testing their experiment apparatus, as well as conducting outreach activities with science students at local schools.
"The students practiced doing the experiment over and over. Their skill in conducting the experiment would be the most important thing," says Charles Garris, a mechanical and aerospace engineering professor who helped mentor the team. The testing apparatus included a syringe pump that the students used to create a steady stream of fluid, kept at a constant velocity. A camera system captured images of the fluid as it was released from the syringe and as droplets formed.
Getting ready for takeoff also included 10 days in Houston at NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the team underwent rigorous equipment testing and participated in training sessions and anti-motion-sickness briefings.
"The first time in zero G, you feel like the plane is dropping out from under you, and you want to grab onto something. That makes it worse," Mr. Foster says. "It's best if you can relax."
They also learned, in physiology briefings, tricks to minimize motion sickness while in zero gravity, including keeping their heads still as if wearing neck braces, not looking out the windows, and singing to distract themselves. No one on the GW team got sick, but about eight students from other participating schools weren't so lucky.
Between each microgravity cycle, the students experienced 2 Gs—double the gravitational pull that we feel on Earth. During these times, even lifting an arm was difficult. The team divided in half and participated in two separate flights to provide more opportunities for data collection. (Mr. Wilkins was unable to attend Flight Week in Houston because of illness.)
But when the data collection was complete, each team member still had some parabolas left over for fun before the flight ended. In addition to floating around the plane, they played with a Slinky in zero gravity and tried the "human ball" trick.
Ms. Stuart says the group had support from mentors across the School of Engineering and Applied Science including Dr. Garris, Dean David Dolling, and William Rutkowski, a GW employee in the machine shop who helped the students fabricate their experimental apparatus. "The whole support system here was phenomenal," she says, "from the administrators and the staff to the machine shop guys. We have so much gratitude toward our mentors in this project."
During the summer, the team worked with Dr. Garris to analyze the data they collected during their flights, which they hope to publish in a peer-reviewed journal. This fall, the four team members are continuing on career and educational paths that will benefit from their microgravity experience: Mr. Breest entered flight school as a second lieutenant in the Air Force; Ms. Stuart has started graduate school at Stanford University studying sustainable energy system design; Mr. Foster is attending graduate school at Cornell University studying aerospace engineering; and Ms. Barsky has returned for her senior year at GW, after which she's considering entering the workforce as a mechanical engineer.
"This project was quite an unbelievable send-off from GW," Mr. Breest says. "It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

2nd Avenue Road Repair Update
Most drivers who take Southwest 2nd Avenue near the University of Florida's campus described a series of two bumps in the road as a roller-coaster ride.
The problem began earlier this year when the clay soil beneath the roadway started to give way and could no longer support the asphalt.
Florida Department of Transportation crews worked on the scene and put in a series of concrete columns to prevent any future damage, but then the project stalled.
FDOT spokesperson Gina Busscher says they couldn't complete the project until now because they needed to hire an asphalt contractor.
The department says they have to group repaving projects together to make the repairs financial feasible.
FDOT will take bids from contractors for the next 4-6 weeks.
From there the winning crew will repave the roadway which should fix the roller-coaster sensation drivers are feeling.

CNN's Erin Burnett Gets It Wrong On Drilling And Gas Prices
CNN's Erin Burnett claimed yesterday that drilling in the Arctic would lower U.S. gasoline prices, echoing a conservative narrative [1] that has been debunked [2] by energy experts across the ideological spectrum who say that expanding U.S. production will not affect the world oil market.
During a segment on Shell's drilling expedition [3] in the Arctic, Burnett suggested that "more drilling" in the U.S. is a solution to high gas prices in California [4] and across the nation, saying: "One way to bring down costs, of course, would be more drilling and that is a highly political topic."
Meanwhile, Piers Morgan has repeatedly suggested [5] that President Obama's energy policy is to blame for high gas prices.
But as their colleagues at CNN have explained [6], U.S. policies have little impact [1] on the global price of oil. In April, CNN business correspondent Christine Romans said: "Republicans want to drill, drill, drill, drill, but just that won't solve the problem ... The only way to pay less for gas is to use less gas."
Indeed, a recent analysis by the Associated Press found [2] "[n]o statistical correlation between how much oil comes out of U.S. wells and the price at the pump." Drilling in the Arctic won't lower gas prices - it requires high prices. What NPR described [7] as "Shell's multibillion dollar gamble to make drilling in the Arctic profitable and environmentally safe" only makes economic sense if oil prices [8] remain high.
Experts say that the long-term solution [9] to U.S. vulnerability to high gas prices is not increasing oil production, but reducing our consumption by investing in fuel efficiency, public transit and alternative vehicles.
But drilling in the Arctic will only perpetuate our reliance on oil, and as Burnett went on to report, it could pose major environmental risks [10]. Reports indicate that Shell may be unprepared [11] to contain [12] an oil spill in remote Arctic waters, which could be catastrophic for the fragile Arctic ecosystem [13]. Even the CEO of Total, a French oil company, warned [8] that the risk of an oil spill in the Arctic is too high to justify drilling there. And Arctic drilling will also release large amounts of methane and black carbon -- greenhouse gases that contribute [14] to climate change. Meanwhile, Alaskan natives have expressed concerns [15] that industrial development in the region could threaten local wildlife and their way of life.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 9/23/14
A federal court judge in Nevada ordered boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. to pay about $114,000 in lawyer fees and costs for avoiding questioning from rival fighter Manny Pacquiao's lawyers. Attorneys for neither man immediately responded Wednesday to messages about Monday's order. The judge ruled that Mayweather violated a court order to be questioned under oath by Pacquiao's attorneys in a civil defamation lawsuit. Pacquiao accuses Mayweather of defamation for statements alleging that the Filipino fighter used performance-enhancing substances. Pacquiao denies that claim. The award of more than $113,000 in legal fees and $774 in costs came after Pacquiao's lawyers lost a bid to have the case thrown out completely.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 5:06pm
The Stringers Spotlight continues as we bring you a piece of work from a fairly new member of The Lacrosse Forums, Jakob Hohlweg, who hails from Chicago, Illinois, and currently plays defense and long-stick middie for the lacrosse team at Saint Viator High School.
Though he's only been playing and stringing for a couple years, we connected with Jake on the Forums after noticing his consistent work with traditional pockets. And we knew we were going to need a few go-to guys when it comes to straight traditionals, so we reached out to Jake — who is a Notre Dame fan — and had him string up a few heads for us, including this shiny new Brine Roughneck.
With a couple of Loyola grads in this office, and with the Hounds having one of their best seasons in program history, what better time to feature this green and grey creation than a few days before Loyola takes on ECAC rival Fairfield on the road.
"I like traditional pockets because once they are broken in, they offer a soft feel that no other pocket offers," Jake says. "It also throws very consistently. As long as you maintain it, the basic traditional is a great pocket. ... I liked the colors in this stick, and it strung up nicely."
The stick you see was provided by Brine, and the materials were provided by Jimalax. Jake used dark green leathers, grey cross lace, grey sidewall and white "Striker" shooting laces to put this puppy together. We haven't even broken it in yet, so the pocket is still shallow and smells brand new. But now that we've photographed it and featured it, we'll like have an in-house battle royal to see which Loyola fan gets to give it a whirl first.
Another example of the great stringers who are showing off their tremendous abilities on The Lacrosse Forums, Jake goes by LionLaxer22 there. You can see more of his work on this thread and on this thread. His work is not limited to trads, as he also does all kinds of mesh, pitas, Grunks, and more. You can contact Jake directly through the forums.
Check out the images below and let us know what you think. You can see all of the work we've featured in the Stringers Spotlight so far by clicking here. You can also discuss the heads featured in the series over on the Stick Doctors Lounge.

: Increasingly curly (and coarse) hair
Greetings all,
I am new to this site, and thrilled to find such a wealth of valuable information, albeit somewhat overwhelmed.
I started out with stick-straight hair as a child. During my teens, it started to get wavy, to which I responded with great frustration and an arsenal of tools and products. Despite all that, the trend continued. At 51, my hair is decidedly quite curly, and I have come to embrace the curl wholeheartedly. I wear it long and as curly as it can be.
What I don't love is the coarse feel that is increasing with the curl. I have some gray hair, but not much. I imagine this may be contributing somewhat to this texture. And though I no longer use shampoo and use a blow-dryer with a diffuser very sparingly, I'm sure my regimen could use some tweaking. Starting tomorrow, no terrycloth towel, and I will take a stab at plopping (though I find that word a little silly). I'll make sure I'm not using products with silicones. I'll use a good deep conditioner. And I'll report back how all this works.
Does anyone else have experience with hair going from silky-straight to curly-coarse? Any advice?
P.S. I have always been a product junkie. My funds are extremely limited at this point in my life, so I need to find the right products and stick with them, and stop the endless search for the 'miracle product'.

Brother of country star Randy Travis busted on meth charges
By Karen Brooks
(Reuters) - The younger brother of country music superstar Randy Travis was hit with more charges on Thursday stemming from his arrest earlier in the week on suspicion of making and distributing methamphetamine from his home in North Carolina, authorities said.
David Brownlow Traywick, 50, was charged with possessing methamphetamine precursors, storing controlled substances and possessing drug paraphernalia. Those charges followed felony trafficking and conspiracy charges earlier in the week after police found a small manufacturing operation in his Marshville home during a search on Tuesday evening, said Captain Ronnie Whitaker of the Union County Sheriff's Office.
"It was more like a one-pot meth lab, like something some of these folks do in cars driving down the road," Whitaker said. "But it's still dangerous."
Officers were investigating a tip that Traywick, who was already facing a separate methamphetamine charge at the time of his arrest on Tuesday, was cooking meth in the home, Whitaker said.
Marshville, where the six Traywick children were raised, including singer Travis, is about an hour southeast of Charlotte, N.C.
Traywick's wife, Jessica, and two other women were arrested on similar charges on Tuesday evening, Whitaker said.
The arrests come as Travis recovers in a Plano, Texas, hospital from brain surgery following a stroke and life-threatening heart condition.
Traywick's attorney could not be reached for immediate comment. Continued...

(Sorry for the crappy subject - should have said something like "Is your unschooler challenged?", would have made more sense!!)
Does your unschooler have things in their life that challenges them? In a good way, I mean - like skills or interests that they are excited about where they are working towards something or trying to achieve something? If not, do you think they should?
I would say my almost 10yo doesn't. The few things that could almost count he is mostly just doing the minimum these days to get by. I see kids in school have too many challenges in some ways imposed on them, but the nature of unschooling seems to be the complete opposite and that unless the kid chooses to be challenged by something, they aren't. I guess I'm wondering, is this a bad thing?
Just to say, I'm all for self directed learning and motivation and direction, but the absence of that... is that bad? Or will it come with age?
My older son (7) gives himself a lot of physical challenges, for the past couple months he's been working on handstands. That came from watching parkour and gymnastic videos on youtube and wanting to learn flips and handsprings. Also, knitting has been a challenge he's embraced too. And getting 100 on ixl.com math topics at 3rd grade level.
We aren't unschoolers but his seatwork is minimal and not too challenging, takes an hour or so and he's great at it, these are what he challenges himself to.
Yes, both my girls have challenges that they embrace. And one challenge that needs some big pushing from me--getting along with each other.
But I agree that school can have too many challenges, and more importantly, challenges that have little or no meaning for them. There is too strong an emphasis by parents for learning how to do what we hate for rewards not of our choosing because that is real life. That carries the attitude that most children will not challenge themselves if given the choice. I think the opposite is true-- that humans as a species embrace challenge. Some enjoy it more than others, for sure, but I have never met anyone who didn't challenge themselves in some way. If there is some question, usually it's because what they choose to challenge themselves with is not considered worthy.
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
Mine embrace challenges too. They are 7.5 and 5.5. Both tend to want to master things they want to do. For example, a week and half ago, it was all about snowflakes. My son wanted to make snowflakes and not a simple one. He tried and failed plenty of times before he finally figured out a particular kind. There were tears, frustration and conversations about the proper ways to handle these strong emotions but in the end the task at hand was conquered and he was pleased with his newly acquired mastery. He learned much more than paper snowflakes along the way. The younger one goes through projects where she perfects a particular skill that usually has to do with drawing. In October, she went through a strong phase where she wanted to learn to read too and made good progress before she put that on the back burner. It was all really hard work for her.
I think maybe, when kids are older like yours, around age 10 or so, there is a time gap between where all childhood skills are mastered but adult like projects seem intimidating and out of reach? I am saying this, not from experience with my own children, but from watching other people's kids at that age. I have noticed kids that age go through a rather prolonged boredom stage before they start to latch onto things again. I think, this is when they need help figuring out how to scale up their interests and put them to work/test in a wider area. Sharpening the skill to zoom out and look at the bigger picture becomes important while the skill to zoom into one particular area is probably pretty well developed by this age. Then the practice of connecting the big picture to the small details becomes essential... I think this is probably the time they quietly start to try to figure that out and some kids need more guidance than others.
Have you checked out diy.org? Your kiddo might be interested. Worth checking it out because it provides a bit of structure/a framework within which to work and experiment.
My kids have challenges, though they've gone through phases when there has been not so much challenge. Still, I've always tried to ensure that there's at least a little bit of long-term challenge. I have a bit of bias on this: I'm willing to admit that there are kids who don't get a lot of challenge who seem to grow up fine, but that's not the path I want for my kids. I think that we grow the most and are more engaged when we are optimally challenged. I think of our minds and spirits as being a little like muscles: they grow stronger when we really work them, pushing them close to their current limits. Not constantly, but regularly and diligently. I also think that when children overcome a challenge that increases their confidence in overcoming the next obstacle life throws their way. I want my kids to grow into adults who will be strong and confident if they encounter adversity.
Having said that I think it's important to appreciate that not all challenges are obvious to the casual observer. My 15yo dd (who is in school) is not getting much academic challenge and has given up studying the violin, but she has been challenged socially for the past three or four months. She's had to carve out a niche for herself in a high school that didn't really have a niche for her, and find her way through a complicated relationship with a boyfriend. She's done really well on both counts, made good choices and remained true to herself. Sometimes at other ages and stages I've seen little apparent evidence of challenge on the surface with my kids, only to discover a month or three down the road that they were quietly challenging themselves with something I couldn't see at the time: learning to read, figuring out computer coding, memorizing epic poems, writing short stories, various things.
But yeah, my kids all have challenges. I've engineered a certain amount of that, by encouraging them and supporting them in studying musical instruments over the long term and helping them really understand the pleasure and confidence that is the result of persistent work. Sometimes they weren't thrilled to do the day-to-day work, but I taught them little tricks and strategies for breaking things down and making them more palatable and more easily mastered. As a result they are pretty familiar with challenge and embrace it readily in other areas of their lives.
If you are concerned that your ds is missing something because he avoids challenges, you might like to play a bit of a facilitative role in teaching him how to work through challenges. Modelling the attitude you hope he will adopt may be helpful: train for a marathon, or build a window hydroponic garden, or learn French. Share your trials and triumphs with him as you go. It would probably also be helpful to try to find one interest that you can help him pursue in a way that requires long-term commitment and persistent work. For some kids that might be swim team, skateboarding, tae kwon do or XC running or some other physical pursuit. For other kids it might be an artistic pursuit like music lessons or theatre. For others it might be a robotics league, chess club, entrepreneurial project or second-language class.
Last winter my dd was involved in a cross-country skiing program for older beginners (9 to 11-year-olds). There were a three kids in the class who had never really done any sort of endurance activity, and when they were skiing with just moderate levels of sustained aerobic effort they'd complain "it hurts!" or "I'm too tired!" or "I can't!" and flop down in the snow. They were reaching the point where their bodies were being challenged, and they weren't used to the feeling. The coach kept reminding the snow-floppers "That's not a bad feeling: it's the feeling that teaches your body to get stronger. That's the feeling of training: get used to it, because it's your friend, not your enemy." And you know, two of those kids did make big strides as a result of his encouragement. I think that's a generalizable message: most things worth doing well will have some bumps along the way, and those challenges are normal, and part of the process of growth.
Some kids may need a fair bit of support or structure as they learn that life lesson. Group activities that require some form of commitment may be a good way to give that support and structure. There are many ways to learn it, though, and that's where parenting finesse is required: in finding the right venue, the right structure, the right age and the right sort of support and facilitation.
Mountain mama to one great kid and three great grown-ups
chocolove, I think what you're saying is really interesting. I'm seeing similar in my 10 year old.
My first instinct was to say, yes, my 10 year old challenges himself both a lot less than his siblings and a lot less than he has in the past, and in part that is simply because he has recently mastered a few things he's previously found hard.
But I've thought further about it and I think there's something more complex going on. My 10 year old is into things that aren't obviously so praise-inducing, iykwim. They don't look like challenges. Minecraft is big here, so is claymation. Actually what he mainly does is reading and thinking, those are the big things he is into right now. He is thinking big questions, lots of existential stuff coming from his fondness for robots.
The thing is, he doesn't really see stuff as challenges. And tbh, nor do I. I don't think to myself, "wow, how can I really challenge myself?". I think, "wow, I'd like to make a Waldorf doll for dd2 for Christmas." and I go and do that. And goodness that has been a challenge! But I didn't do it for the challange iyswim. I did it because I wanted a doll. I am studying chemistry-but not to challenge myself, but because I've always had an interest in it and saw that if I worked hard those years when my kids were small, I could get a good basic knowledge going on.
That said, my middle child will deliberately accept external challenges. She'll work for a music or taekwondo grade, and I've had to put serious limits on the quality of project that can be uploaded to DIY.org else I'd have been bankrupted by the badges. My oldest won't, as soon as someone tries to set him an external challenge he doesn't see a point to, he'll walk away, intellectually if not actually. It makes it less, not more interesting for him. Now he has never liked other people to set him challenges, he's never been the sort to enjoy doing well and getting good marks and praise at all, like my middle child. It just rolls off him, he doesn't seem to care either way. I can't remembered him ever excited about passing an exam, for instance. But I think this is getting more pronounced as he gets older. Yet he does do things that clearly challenge him. He has joined both a football class and a chess club recently, both of which have older, much better kids playing, and he's been happy to fail, fail better. TBH even learning to fail, to be the kid who is out of the game within the first hour and a half, is a great achievement for him because until very recently, he really struggled with losing, with getting anything wrong.
Posting again, additional philosophical thoughts pertaining to this.
Children are born centred entirely in "me and now." Infants are completely self-centred and concerned about their own immediate needs. That's normal and developmentally appropriate: they don't realize there are other people out there who have their own feelings and needs. They don't have object permanence, meaning they don't believe that if something goes away for a moment it still exists for them to get later. So they are wired for "me and now." Maturity is all about expanding that orientation. Obviously we don't want them to end up as adults who are still completely self-centred and focused on immediate gratification. I think that parenting boils down to two things: helping kids grow out of self-centredness (i.e. nurturing empathy) and move beyond concern with their immediate comfort (i.e. developing the ability to defer gratification).
For several generations the conventional model was that the best way to train babies out of their self-centredness was to refuse to cater to their demands and to teach them that someone else could be the boss of them. Feed them on a schedule, don't pick them up when they're crying, don't let them 'manipulate' you with their selfish needs. That's how you would teach them that they're not the centre of the universe. Now, thankfully, most of us know better and we're moving back to a more attachment-oriented parenting style. The idea being that if you can help a baby develop a strong emotional connection to others, that connectedness becomes a pathway to empathy. Rather than saying "you're not the centre of the universe: see me, over here, I'm separate!" you're saying "your universe includes me too ... and eventually others." You start at the centre of your child's world, and work outwards through strong and meaningful connections. That's the first parenting job.
I see a parallel in the realm of learning to defer gratification. The conventional approach is to impose short and medium-term challenge (eg. memorize the names of all fifty states for a 4th grade civics test) on the assumption that the long-term benefits (a successful school career that will lead to various attractive opportunities as an adult) will teach the connection between challenge and growth. I see unschooling's role in this as being similar to attachment parenting's role in nurturing empathy. Rather than imposing challenge (like imposing feedings on an infant), you work from the centre, from what is meaningful to your child, and you work outward by helping make connections. (You want to play violin concertos? Practicing scales will help develop your technique so that you can do that some day. You want to learn to bunny-hop on a bike? Maybe you should sign up for the kids' bike skills camp.) And to me, that's the other, the last, parenting job. Help your child learn the connection between things he dreams of being able to do, and the incremental work he can do which will help him along towards those goals.
I think that just as attachment parenting does not result in eternally self-centred children, unschooling does not result in lazy people concerned only with immediate gratification. It's a way of working from within your child's developmentally appropriate strong focus on "me and now" towards expanding his orientation as he matures towards including "others and later." Kids mature at different rates and learn these lessons with greater or lesser ease. It's a process.
Mountain mama to one great kid and three great grown-ups
Thanks everyone for all the wonderful responses. You've given me lots of think about!
I shouldn't say my son doesn't challenge himself at all - it's just very little, and he then does the minimal necessary to get by. It hasn't always been this way - I can think of things he's worked very hard on last year (piano, drawing, Mario Kart) - so maybe it's partly an age thing like has been suggested. But even when he has had interests and stuff he is working on, it's been few and far in-between with a lot of time with nothing obvious happening.
And now? He is involved in long-term activities like you suggest, Miranda - piano and soccer, both his own decision to start. He loves his piano class but no longer has much interest in practicing at home. Part of the problem is the songs are too easy for him -not challenging enough, hah! He's in a group Music for Young Children program and LOVES the class and all last year played at home all the time. Both the teacher and he have said the songs are not challenging enough, though the theory is, and the teacher has started giving him harder songs to play but even those he is not that interested in. He just does enough to get by (and he's still the best in his class - sorry, brag!). So she's trying to challenge him, and he's just not interested. With soccer, he's good and loves to play but doesn't get many opportunities other than the organized team stuff. When he first started playing he was constantly with a ball at his feet but it isn't like that any more. He goes twice a week and plays his heart out but that's it until next practice. He's been asked a couple of times to join a more competitive level, and he's subbed in a couple of times, but he hasn't really wanted to do it more than that - though I suspect that is mostly to do with fear of not being good enough and his anxious and perfectionist tendencies.
So I don't know if he's just truly satisfied with his piano and soccer experiences, to use these as examples, and geniunely isn't interested in more, or if it's something else and something I should be trying to help him with.
And then academically... not much obviously academic stuff happening here because he's just not interested. Part of me is like, that's cool, he's got plenty of time and I don't think there's much point in learning about stuff you aren't really interested in, but another part of me worries that he's not interested *because* he's not being challenged. But then in the past when he has shown interest in academics, say math, he's gotten discouraged and upset when he's hit an obstacle, so he's not navigated being challenged successfully, I guess. He hasn't worked through it and been able to see from the other side that it was all worth it. Hmmm. The other thing that happens is I scare him off by noticing when he's good at something... like writing, and now of course he doesn't write anything any more! Must remember to keep mouth SHUT. :)
OK that's enough babbling for now... am thinking I had other thoughts but of course I can't think of what those thoughts might be right now, and I should probably go pay some attention to my kids! :)
Hi everyone, my DD is nearly nine, we have challenges but everyday is different, so they change daily.
yes I've thought further on this. Don't want to go meta on this but I think I'm struggling here because I think its very hard to identify when someone else is challenged. TBH I think it is quite hard to identify even when we ourselves are challenged. In terms of my own personal growth and character development, if I were to write a chronology of my life-which has included published writing, teaching in other countries, getting various degrees, gaining self sufficiency/gardening skills etc etc-the summer that actually was probably the biggest challenge for me was one when i was about 16 and living in a shared squat and deeply skint, and so I had to do what I could and that meant delivering pizza and takeaway leaflets door to door to some of the most expensive houses in London. It was pretty much my entire summer, because leaflet delivery does not have a good hourly rate. Aside from generating some sort of an income for me, and getting me through not the best time of my life emotionally, it also taught me a really simple lesson, which is that if you put one foot in front of the other again and again, the job, generally, will get done. I probably think back to that lesson and that summer most days of my life at some point. It was challenging as hell, to most parts of me, but I doubt anyone watching me at work would have said "wow, that kid is stretching herself".
That's a great story, Fillyjonk - thanks for sharing! You make a good point that it's hard to know for someone else what is challenging. I think in some cases it can be quite obvious, but even then, other things may be at work that we don't realize right away. With my son with Mario Kart -at first when he got the game, it was a challenge for him - in learning to play well, or being 'a pro' as he put it, and he is indeed a whizz at it. But during the time of learning to master it there was a lot of big emotions, often NOT dealt with well - so it was a challenge on that level for him too, learning how to deal with frustration, disappointment, injustice (yes, in a game, heh), etc. Now he's mastered those issues too. Then he started playing online and going on a Mario Kart forum, which has meant lots of social stuff for him to figure out - does that count as challenging? I don't know, but it's certainly stuff he's had to work through. Now though he seems to often play just because it is there and as a distraction from the challenge of having to find something interesting to do. He does truly love it though, so I don't think it's *just* that, and maybe there are still aspects to it that he's trying to figure out, stuff that is still challenging... I don't know. But I'm mostly thinking there isn't, heh. :)
