Grab yourself a cup of coffee and have a seat. Today we're chatting with one of Eternal Press's erotica authors, Eric Erato. We're going to discuss his writing along with his Eternal Press release, Cult of Submission. Thanks for Coming Eric.
EP: Cult of Submission is another sizzling story with a heat rating of five flames. Definitely not something for the young. Please tell us a little about this bdsm erotica story?
Eric: Its about a beautiful, stubborn young newspaper reporter who is fascinated by a mysterious cult and its powerful leader. She decides to go undercover to break the story of the manipulation, control and sexual depravity being practiced at this cult, and she falls deeper than she ever imagined. She is drawn to the leader and his practices, and torn between her duty and her desire.
EP: This story is told in first person with the reader taking the part of Lucy, a reporter on the prowl. How difficult was it to write in first person? Did it make the sex scenes more difficult to portray?
Eric: I always write in first person. I believe its is the most natural way to hear and understand a story. When the narrator of a story is also a participant, readers learn about the psychology of the narrator by what she chooses to tell or leave out of the tale. Narrators are inherently untrustworthy, and I think that makes reading their stories more nuanced and interesting.
However, this is the first story I wrote in the voice of a woman in this case a strong woman with submissive tendencies. Lucys persistence and vulnerability were very important to the story. I asked several female writers to read and edit my take on her expressions and point of view. They helped me overcome my natural tendency to feel the story from a mans point of view.
EP: The man who crosses Lucy's path is described as a mesmerizing satyr. Would you tell us a little about him?
Eric: He is a tall, lanky, handsome professional business leader who can seduce his cult members into doing whatever he asks. Think of the most intelligent, manipulative, charismatic corporate CEO or politician or hospital director that you can imagine, give him an unlimited sexual appetite and hundreds of loyal followers, give him virtual control of an entire suburban county, give him officers and farms and factories to play in, and you have this character. Now focus him on our small but fiery heroine, and you have some elements of this story.
EP: Is the cult in this story based off of a real one? How did you research it?
Eric: This cult is not real. I studied religious cults in college and have taken a special interest in them ever since. I am fascinated by the power that a cult leader gains and maintains over his followers, and by the psychological and physical manipulations he uses. Frequently cult leaders are hyper-intelligent but underachieving cast-offs from society. They create an us-against-the-world mentality, using their past humiliations to drive control over their group.
For this story I imagined a cult leader with much better basic social skills. Someone who would be attractive to todays professional people. If you look carefully in todays business culture, you find mini-cults of self-fulfillment build around certain charismatic authors and speakers. I just took that culture a step further and sexualized the leaders passion and power. The leader in this story is somewhere between Tony Robbins, David Koresh, Jack Welsh and Rasputin.
EP: When did you first decide to become a writer? Is there anyone who inspired you?
Eric: I have always written poetry and stories, and have published much more business-related non-fiction lately. I started writing a novel more than a decade ago and that exercise proved to me how much I enjoyed creating and exploring characters.
Only in the past two years have I written erotic fiction, first as an exercise to explore my own feelings and philosophies on the subject. Now I simply enjoy stories more when they contain an erotic component. I like the interplay of control between two strong and passionate characters who have a complementary sensual nature. I enjoy exploring, along with the characters themselves, as they find what they need in the new partner. This is why I have been drawn to writing the First Night series the exploration of first serious erotic contact for an interesting couple.
EP: Do you have anything you'd like to say to people who are critics of erotica?
Eric: I have great respect for all readers and I hope that each one of us is able to find a fiction that appeals to us. However, I hope that we can also be open to recognize that our preferences will not meet the deep intellectual and emotional desires of all readers. We need to recognize that the world contains pain and passion, eroticism and betrayal. It is unrealistic to think that people will ignore these impulses, especially when practiced between consenting adults.
EP: Besides the erotic parts, this book has a bit of danger in it for Lucy. Can you give us a hint?
Eric: Even before she goes undercover to infiltrate this cult, Lucy understands that they seem to control most of the law enforcement where they live. There is danger in disguising yourself to enter the belly of the beast. As she later learns, Lucy has no idea what these people are capable of doing to her.
EP: Is there anything you would like to add?
Eric: Stay tuned as the First Night series continues to develop. Cult of Submission has been my most ambitious entry yet, but I am currently writing Jazz Hands about a pianist and his especially ardent fan. Later entries include one based in halls of the U.S. Congress.
I am working on the concept for a modern mystery novel based in a wildly erotic bdsm relationship.
EP: We appreciate you dropping by today. Please leave us with where we can find you on the internet. Webpage? Blogs? Myspace? Book trailer? Goodreads?
Eric: I post on LiveJournal as Eroserato, and you can find some fiction and erotic essays there. I alsohave a MySpace page as Eric Erato, and I am on the erotic romance message boards in Yahoo Groups..

Novella: 22,000 words $4.95 Heat Level: 5 flames
Lucys fascination with a powerful cult drives her to quit her job as a newspaper reporter and infiltrate its inner sanctum. As she draws closer to the handsome and charismatic leader, becoming the object of his bizarre sexual rites, Lucy is both attracted and repelled. But most of all, she is afraid.
Can she escape with her life, or will Lucy fall deep into the grip of this mesmerzing satyr and his fanatical followers?
I allowed my thoughts of Turnquills strength to flow like the water and mist over my body, imagining him instructing me to touch myself. The scent of lavender had been a subtle undertone when I entered the bathroom, but now grew overpowering, seeping from the steam and the soap and the walls themselves. Feeling lightheaded and aroused, I pressed a coarse and foamy loofa roughly against my skin. Lingering with the sponge, I rubbed it across my erect nipples and shivered with each abrasion. I thought of Turnquill grabbing my hair, twisting my nipples and taking the kiss that he wanted, then taking whatever else he wanted, his hands rough and brutal as the sponge. My head fell back and my lips parted, knowing the loofa would start working against my most tender parts soon, feeling him on me, over me, and being swept away with the sensation and the lavender and the fantasy.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hi there! My name is XXXXX XXXXX I would be happy to help you with your question! I'm sorry to hear Pua is in pain!
It sounds like your girl may be having some back issues! Sometimes if there is an injury to the back, a muscle spasm, or even inter-vertebral disc disease, it can cause dogs to be unable to travel down the stairs or get up and down on furniture.
This is something that you would need to have evaluated by a vet. You can get her in to have x-rays and have a physical exam, so they can determine from where her pain is originating.
At this point, it is probably not a good idea to give her any aspirin, as one of the main treatments they use to help with back and disc issues are steroids, and aspirin can have bad drug interactions with certain steroids.
There are also better medications to help treat the pain, such as Rimadyl or Previcox that your vet can prescribe to help her feel more comfortable.
Since she is in pain, you will likely want to get her in sooner rather than later, and you can locate a 24-hour clinic in your area with this website here if you do not already know of one.
If you have any follow-up questions or concerns, please hit "reply", and I would be glad to address them for you. Otherwise, good luck with poor Pua, and I hope she gets to feeling better soon!

Also the realization that people really do deal with cancer and losing love ones, is what makes this movie the ultimate tearjerker. There were girls literally sobbing in the theater when I was watching it. Augustus Waters the love interest for Hazel Grace is so charming! You immediately fall in love with his character.

For anyone who loves Irish music and poetry, this is the album for you. Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains and John Montague, celebrated Irish poet, have released their collaboration, The Wild Dog Rose, an album of poetry and Irish music. This album is a long time coming, something both Moloney and Montague discussed as far back as the 1960s. At long last, it's here and now available to purchase.
As Moloney says on the sleeve notes of The Wild Dog Rose: 'When I first spoke to John Montague, it was while recording the first Chieftain's album at Peter Hunt Studios in Dublin. John wondered about my suggestion of calling the group TheQuare Fellas after our friend Brendan Behan's play. John came up with the bright idea of The Chieftains based on his book of short stories Death of a Chieftain. From that point on, John and I became friends, through Claddagh, and during the making of The Northern Muse, which was the first spoken word album that I managed as a director and the manager of Claddagh Records.'
A moving and powerful combination of Moloney's Uilleann pipes and tin whistle with Montague's sonorous voice reciting his own poems, this is an album the world has been waiting for. Deeply moving and beautiful, it creates an atmosphere that will bring anyone listening back to the shores of Ireland. Also featured on the album are Sir James Galway, Veronica McSwiney and the other members of The Chieftains (Sean Keane, Matt Molloy, Kevin Conneff and Triona Marshall).
Steeped in Irish history and language, the vagaries of love and loss, this album will be a classic of our times and well into the future.

Hornets (11-2), Clippers (2-13)
It was over when
Eric Gordon rolled in two free throws, giving the Clippers a two-possession edge with less than five seconds remaining. Trevor Ariza fired off a desperation three-pointer just before the buzzer, but with no timeouts remaining, the Hornets ran out of clock even if Arizas trey had connected.
Hornets MVP: It was vintage David West for a majority of the night, with the two-time All-Star power forward connecting on seven mid-range or deeper jumpers. Along with a handful of close-range power buckets, West finished with 30 points on 12-for-23 shooting. He also collected 10 rebounds and five assists. West poured in a dozen points during the Hornets 37-point first quarter.
Hornets Sixth Man of the Game: Jarrett Jacks final stat line was solid, with 12 points, three rebounds and four assists in just 16 minutes. Even more impressively, in his first game as a Hornet, he made two significant plays in the final minute, as the visitors tried to pull off a late comeback. Jack made a pair of free throws after a Chris Paul steal to pull NOLA within 96-95, and later produced a hustle play by chasing a rebound into the corner off a West miss. Unfortunately, the sequence ended with a Pauls bounce pass that went off Wests shin and out of bounds.
The buzz on
how well the Hornets offseason additions have fit in with their new team. At one point early in the Clippers local broadcast, TV analyst Michael Smith said of New Orleans backup big Jason Smith (no relation), his career has been reborn with New Orleans. Hes been given a chance to excel and flourish. The exact same quote could be uttered for several of his teammates, including Marco Belinelli, Willie Green and Emeka Okafor, whove all either vastly exceeded expectations, or improved significantly from the way they performed last season. In a similar vein, Ariza has been placed in what appears to be a much better situation than what he experienced in 2009-10 with Houston, where he took on a larger offensive role than in his other years as a pro. Jack was doing just fine as a starter in Toronto, but as Pauls backup, he has a chance in NOLA to again be regarded as one of the NBAs best second-unit point guards.
Blog question of the night: Considering he still has not practiced yet with the team due to the timing of Saturdays trade, it was reasonable to expect Jack might need a game or two to be completely accustomed to running the New Orleans offense. At times it seemed like the second unit wasnt quite in rhythm offensively, but Jack still managed to play well. Much to his credit, he was also on the floor in crunch time (keep in mind, hes a career 85 percent foul shooter). What was your opinion of Jacks debut and what he might be able to bring to the Hornets in 2010-11?

Northern California utility PG&E (s pcg) will soon start taking equity stakes in solar projects, CEO Peter Darbee told the audience at the Clean Tech Investor Summit in Palm Springs, Calif., on Wednesday. Darbee has openly talked about possibly pushing PG&E to invest in renewable power before, but this morning he said the company plans to submit a filing to the SEC as soon as the next quarter that details its investment plans.
PG&E generates billions in taxable income and could provide much-needed funding for companies to get solar plants up and running. It's a big deal because utilities don't traditionally own solar power-generating systems, and the sagging economy has been forcing solar companies to delay construction of plants and cut staff.
Federal renewable-energy tax credits, which were just revised to include utilities, come in the form of tax breaks, so only companies that pay enough in taxes can take advantage of them. Last April Darbee said that the biggest barrier to taking equity stakes in solar projects was the fact that the credits didn't extend to the utility industry. But the potential investments aren't only coming from the utility sector: As we've previously reported, Fortune 500 companies like Google (s goog) and Microsoft (s msft) have also been looking at investing in renewable energy in exchange for the tax credits.
Darbee said at the summit this afternoon that the utility is looking to take stakes in central solar thermal plants, as well as distributed solar PV rooftops, similar to what Southern California Edison has done, and will look at different ways to partner with solar companies. Wind, Darbee said, will be secondary.

Facilities Management
Facilities management is a vital link in the energy use chain. Simple changes to an energy management system, lighting equipment, maintenance procedures or building design can deliver significant energy savings annually. Changes to the ways that staff and tenants use a facility add to these savings.
Ameresco's team of experienced energy efficiency engineers and technicians develops facility management solutions that consider every aspect of facility design and function, from skylights to water management and vending machines to cooling towers. We have helped universities, state governments and shopping mall developers take control of utility costs both in single buildings and across multiple sites. Ameresco develops maintenance and facility solutions that eliminate operational disruptions, fine-tunes energy management systems for optimal energy efficiency and implements training procedures that teach end users the important role they play in reaching energy use targets.
Facilities Management: Our Independence Makes Us a Better Choice
At Ameresco, we believe that facilities management options should not be limited to equipment provided by a single vendor. As a fully independent energy services company (ESCO), Ameresco is uniquely positioned to source best-in-class solutions from the full spectrum of energy management system, energy equipment and appliance and lighting suppliers.
Government, commercial, industrial and institutional organizations that partner with Ameresco gain the benefits of our insight and expertise, as well as a single consultant that can develop and implement energy-efficient solutions from the supply chain straight through to the end user. That means less time spent managing contracts, vendors and projects, and robust end-to-end solutions that maximize energy savings.
A critical link in America's maritime defense system, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is a 300-building facility charged with the maintenance and repair of U.S. Navy vessels. The facility used an energy savings performance contract (ESPC) to upgrade aging boiler and energy facilities and to give the site the ability to disconnect from the power grid during peak-demand times. Parts of this project required large utility trench excavations, and Ameresco worked closely with facility managers to ensure that there would be no disruption to essential operations.

AUSTRALIAN James Spithill beat him for the Americas Cup and now an Aussie mistake has extended New Zealand sailor Dean Barker losing run in the wake of his devastating loss in the battle for sailings most prestigious trophy.
Barker was left shattered at being unable to thwart Spithill and his Oracle USA team's extraordinary comeback from 8-1 down to claim the 34th America's Cup in San Francisco last month.
And now the talented New Zealander has lost his first race since the regatta while sailing aboard Sean Langman's 60-foot trimaran Team Australia.
A tactical error, which saw the Australians head towards the wrong mark, delivered Team Australia a seven-minute loss to its New Zealand rival Vodafone in the race in Auckland.
Barker was an invited guest aboard the Aussie boat, which last week set a World Speed Council mark between Sydney and Auckland.
The New Zealander said he was happy to be home after spending so long in San Francisco.
"It's great to be home where we can work hard on keeping the team together," he said.
Barker will be absent from Langman's boat when it lines-up in tomorrow's Coastal Classic race.

Cindy and Ian were married at the Mission Inn Resort & Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. on March 10. The bride wore a v-neck lace fit 'n' flare wedding gown, accessorized with pearl earrings, necklace, and bracelet, while the groom wore a gray suit, accessorized with a white tie and black Converse tennis shoes. The bouquet and boutonniere were handmade fabric flowers shaped ranunculuses and dahlias. As the sun set, the ceremony took place overlooking an immaculate water fountain, but following, the reception took place inside the courtyard decorated with gray table linens, tall centerpieces with mini chalkboard table numbers, and votive candles. How cool is their ombre cake? Guests enjoyed drinking and dancing underneath the cafe lights and sent the newlyweds off with bubbles as the night came to an end!

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
I do have eczema on legs and hands, which flares and then subsides, and which I have had for a number of years now. I have a history of asthma, but have not suffered with this for over five years. I do occasionally have shortness of breath after walking upstairs, but this is not bad.
I do get pains in my back as though my chest is being squeezed, which I put down to the other generalized pains I have described previously.
Do my symptoms sound too generalized for you to advise on diagnosis.
My doctor suggested that it may be a return of the post-viral fatigue, which I had about 4 years ago. The pains are much worse this time.
The pain in my left shoulder and right hip make it so that I mostly have to sleep on my back, which makes for a less restful night.
Are the symptoms described previously part of sarcoidosis presentation. I really do not want it to be this but would like to know why I am in so much pain.

Situated west of the Newcastle Range, Georgetown is the centre of the Etheridge gold field and of amateur gold prospecting. The surrounding area is covered with rolling hills and wooded savannah grasslands. Georgetown is an intersection point for all roads approaching the Gulf Savannah region from the east with the exception of the Chillagoe to Normanton/Karumba route. The township is well serviced and is a major point for touring circuits to the south and east which direct visitors through spectacular scenic and historic points of interest.
The Gulf Savannah is an interesting region to visit all year round. There is an all weather road from Cairns which is not affected by rain during the monsoon season, however, if travelling by road from the south or west during the wet season, transportation methods must be carefully considered, as some parts of the Gulf Savannah region suffer from a lack of road infrastructure.
Georgetown is about 380 kilometres west of Cairns.

The humanities at Stanford are distinguished by renowned scholars, dedicated teachers, diverse and outstanding undergraduates, and graduate students whose research pushes the boundaries of the expected.
The building blocks of critical thinking
Every entering freshman at Stanford is required to take courses in the humanities because we believe that building a broad base of knowledge is a critical underpinning of a liberal education — whatever field a student ultimately enters.
As we look to the future, we seek to continue to expand our strengths in the study of European, New World, and African societies, and to increase faculty representation in the study of Islamic societies and of South and East Asian regions, bringing the core of Western civilization and learning into conversation with other cultures in the modern world.
Cultivating the creative spirit
From the stage of the Pigott Theater to the studios of Roble Hall, the arts weave a rich and colorful tapestry across Stanford. Through our participation in the Arts Initiative, we are expanding opportunities for students to study, create, and experience art. Ultimately, by cultivating the creative spirit, the arts can foster innovation and an appreciation of diverse perspectives — building bridges to different cultures that can provide vital tools in the effort to understand the experiences of people around the world.

I'm looking for the same thing. Not t-shirts, but the same functionality.
Looking forward to seeing what replies crazymaster receives. Maybe we can pool our resources to get something made that suits our needs.
For smallish non-complex shops with blogs, I like PHPurchase. It's a wordpress plugin, and still new enough to have some issues, but no additional theming time is required.
Thanks for the good conversation.
There are some really nice looking single page templates available here, but I had been dismissing them because I was concerned about search rankings. Due to the comments above, I have come to the conclusion that I could use these in cases where the chances of getting a good search engine ranking are slim to none (ie – 1 of millions of web developers) and most traffic would be driven to the site from other links, business cards, email, etc.
For all you SEO masters out there. Will a one page site with identical content to a multi page site receive the same ranking in google, etc?
Treat her to a day at the spa if she is not to type to do so herself. Combine that with a handwritten card with a personal message and you'll be her favourite son. Or, make her a grandmother.
It's a little wordier than I had hoped, but it works! Thanks altinkum!
Does anyone know of a wordpress tutorial for the end user? By end user, I mean the person I set-up the website for.
I buy a theme, mess around with it, put it online for my client, then I have to tell him (the end user) how to log into wordpress, enter posts, etc. Surely I'm not the first person to require something like this, but I haven't been able to locate anything….perhaps I'm not searching for the correct thing?
Silly me thought that all templates here would validate, but the latest purchase didn't (closing divs outside the closing body and html tags). The author said it would be fixed, but that was three weeks ago. Shame on me for not checking before buying.
Right now, I'm looking for a wordpress theme with a black background and without a HUGE image in the header. All black background….not just behind the white text area.
Those sites with large images look great when on display here, but it's really hard to keep it looking good when you have to drop a crappy client photo in it's place.

By the year 2014, all schools in the Commonwealth have technology-infused environments for teaching and learning for all students across all disciplines and programs. Students, staff and faculty use state of the art technology to discover, create, evaluate, and communicate and are able to do that because they have universal access anytime anywhere through wireless portable equipment.
Schools are linked technologically to other educational institutions, to communities and to the world. The infrastructure, which is invisible, enables the academic uses of technology by providing management and other support functions including preservice training, professional development and student assessment. Schools evaluate educational initiatives, monitor, and manage progress toward tactical / operational and strategic goals through the utilization of data warehousing and data analysis tolls to perform short term and longitudinal data analysis.
ETAC states its goals as answers to the question: Why technology in schools in Massachusetts?
To teach students the skills and competencies they will need to succeed in the 21st century economy and broader society.
There is hardly a business person today, from cobbler to CEO, from architect to publisher, who does not require and depend on technology in some form to be competent, productive, creative, competitive and profitable. We live in a diverse community and a continually shrinking globe. Students must be prepared for that kind of a world. Students must exhibit sensitivity, understanding, and knowledge; not intolerance, prejudice and ignorance.
In all sectors of society, the instruments of technology have become essential to research, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, create, and communicate. Massachusetts' students must be prepared to use these instruments in learning science, mathematics and the humanities and how to succeed in a global society facilitated by technology.
Students will be able to do research on the web, evaluate web resources and demonstrate other skills for the 21st century workplace. They will be able learn new skills and gain extensive new knowledge online, enabling them to tackle new disciplines and deal with situations and problems that we currently cannot even imagine. Today's students will likely change careers several times over their lifetimes, making self-learning an essential skill.
To empower students to construct knowledge; to give students power over their own learning; to be independent learners.
Implementing technology in schools empowers students to become active learners. In technology facilitated learning environments, learning how to learn becomes a new objective for student development and learning how to teach with and through technology becomes more important in teacher preparation and professional development. ETAC must help educators to build a robust technology infrastructure and implement it effectively so that students will be able to research on the web, evaluate what they find, and demonstrate other skills necessary in the 21st century workplace.
Students can access information without any obstacles. Students can tailor their studies, that is, learn through their strengths and accommodate for their weaknesses. In the end there may not be strengths or weaknesses any more--only differences. Students can find their learning style. They can be active learners. They can also be creative individuals as well as innovative individuals. Technology is clearly a tool which encourages both creativity and innovation.
To teach students responsibility
Technology facilitated education, active student learning, and globalization carry rewards and risks. Teaching students the distinction between public and private information, to respect the rights of others whether they are visible or not, to understand that anonymity online is an illusion and that using technology has consequences both to people and the environment are new challenges that we must help schools to meet.
In order to preserve the democratic nature of the Internet students need to know right from wrong and helpful from harmful uses of technology. Students must understand that doing the right thing with technology is what a free society needs to grow and thrive in a global society. Students must understand technology literacy and develop a clear understanding of cyber-ethics.
Because students can access enormous amounts information with few obstacles, they must learn how to be responsible users of information and have a social conscience. They must learn the proper balance between commercialism and public policy.
To expand faculty teaching repertoires
With technology, faculty can organize their classes differently than they do currently: use the web, interact on line, and provide instruction from a distance. Teachers can construct their lessons to provide differentiated instruction and varied learning activities to match student learning styles and student needs to instructional techniques.
Technology has created a vast new landscape of teaching and learning potential both in and out of schools. Teaching with technology creates many new opportunities for differentiated instruction that meet the needs of all students, regardless of ability. Teachers need to assume more responsibility for the selection and creation of technology-based resources and provide guidance in their use and the evaluation of student work. With technology such as MassONE, teachers can access world-wide resources and personnel through the Internet, which are not available in many classrooms. Educators can improve their teaching skills through online coursework and tutorials; students can take classes not available in their schools.
No reform currently under consideration, including No Child Left Behind, can be achieved without technology. Time and learning, professional development, re-licensure, common core, curriculum frameworks, professional standards, statewide databases, and site based management all require the use of technology.
To improve management.
Computer and other technology resources are powerful instruments for measurement, data collection, sharing and analysis. ETAC recommends that educators have access to these instruments and know how to use them effectively and responsibly so that they become a source for improving education and realizing human potential for good in a free society. Data warehouses, data analysis tools, integrated information systems along with experiences and longitudinal data from research are all easily accessed and easily interrelated for the purposes of analysis and decision-making. Mobile technologies, including wireless handheld devices, smart phones etc, provide connectivity and information availability at all times. Technology provides powerful instruments that school leaders must be able to utilize effectively in order to improve productivity and management in schools.
To set standards for student, teacher and administrator use of technology.
ETAC supports the development of standards for technology use at all levels. These standards describe the physical and human resources necessary to harness technology in support of learning objectives and define the skills and competencies necessary to teach and to learn in the 21st century. It must also work to set the use of technology in service to the goals of improving student capacity for reasoned thought in the context of American democracy so essential to the founding and ongoing purpose of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Club career[edit]
Son of Brazilian parents, Fernandes moved from his native Tocopilla to Calama at the age of six, where he attended school along with his brother Christian. There, they participated in sports and music. While he lived in Calama, he joined the lower divisions of Cobreloa, participating in each of their youth categories and was integrated to Cobreloa's B team that participated in the Chilean Third Division during the 2006 season. In this period of time, he shared team and home with current Arsenal Football Club forward Alexis Sánchez, with whom he has been intimate relationship since then.

After the request of coach Lewis Sheldon, Fernandes joined Cobreloa's first team to face the Clausura tournament . His professional debut came in the fourth round of the championship, when he replaced striker Felipe Flores in a match that would end with a 2–1 victory over La Serena. His first time as a starter was in a game against Melipilla, which ended in a 5–1 victory, with Fernándes scoring a hat trick.
In 2010, he played for Magallanes of the Chilean Tercera División A where he became the figure of the team that won the championship and was promoted to the Primera B. His outstanding performance on Magallanes caught the attention of Palestino, joining them in 2011, and thanks to his good results, he later was nominated for the Under 25 Chile national football team.
Universidad de Chile[edit]
On 2 December 2011, Palestino agreed on the sale of 50% of his pass with a US$ 700,000 transfer to Universidad de Chile aiming to win the 2012 Apertura tournament, and thinking that the team will play Copa Libertadores next year.[1] On 5 December, he was presented in the offices of "the Blues" Sports Complex with the No. 9 jersey.[2] Fernándes made his debut for the club, scoring and providing an assist in a 3–1 win over Deportes La Serena on 4 February 2012.

Elsewhere in the Copa Libertadores, Fernandes scored a hat-trick and set up a goal in a 5–1 win over Godoy Cruz and soon scored a brace and providing an assist in a 6–0 win over Deportivo Quito. Soon after scoring goals, he would received criticism over his performance.

However, in his first season, Junior Fernándes playing time was reduced, as well his first team and haven't scored his first goal for the club.

Konawaena rolls
HILO — Quarterback Lii Karratti tossed three touchdown passes, and running back John Kamoku bolted for three more scores to spark defending Division II island champion Konawaena to an impressive 48-12 win over Hilo on Friday night.
About 1,000 fans watched the Big Island Interscholastic Federation preseason football game at Wong Stadium.
Karratti, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound junior, completed 7 of 14 passes for 107 yards and the three TDs as he orchestrated a balanced attack against the Division I Vikings (1-1). He continually kept Hilo off-balance with his pinpoint passing accuracy or by handing the ball off to Kamoku, a 5-10, 175-pound senior transfer from Kealakehe who scored on runs of 5, 5 and 51 yards.
Konawaena finished the night with 107 yards passing and rushing for 214 total yards. The Vikings finished with 181 on the ground and 74 in the air for 255 total yards. But Hilo also had four turnovers — three fumbles and an interception that Domonic Morris picked off in the third quarter.
Senior linebacker Winchester Aquino recovered two of the Vikings' fumbles, while teammate Austin Denis bearhugged the other loose football. The Wildcats did not turn the ball over, and the strong-legged John Replogle kept the Vikings deep in their own territory with his booming kickoffs.
Kamoku led Konawaena's ground attack with 71 yards on nine carries and the three TDs.
Quarterback Donovan Kelley provided Hilo with most of its offense. He rushed for 172 yards in 13 attempts and scored both Viking TDs. He also completed 6 of 12 passes for 74 yards and tossed an interception.
The visitors held promising Hilo junior running back Aven Kualii to minus-4 yards in eight attempts — after he ran for 117 yards in his team's 21-18 win over Hawaii Prep last week. Kualii did catch two passes, for a combined 25 yards, to help Kelley outside the pressurized pocket.
The teams battled on even terms through most of the opening quarter before Karratti chopped up the Viking defense on a three-play, 47-yard drive that culminated with a 21-yard scoring pass from the talented Konawaena QB to sure-handed wide receiver Kenan Gaspar. Replogle then kicked the extra point to give the fired-up visitors a 7-0 lead.
The Wildcats (2-1) struck again early in the second quarter, going 45 yards in five plays with Kamoku sprinting 5 yards for the TD at the 11:30 mark. Replogle's kick stretched the lead to 14-0.
But Hilo rallied behind Kelley, who brushed off a tackle on what appeared to be a short run, then broke loose on a 92-yard TD run to slice the Konawaena cushion to 14-6 with 10:52 left in the half. The extra-point kick was blocked by Denis.
The Cliff Walters-coached Wildcats then stunned the Vikings with a 43-yard scoring pass from Karratti to junior wide receiver Chase Takaki with 3:15 left in the half. Takaki rifled a two-point conversion pass to Morris to extend the lead to 22-6, all but ending the Vikings' hopes.
Konawaena led 28-6 at the half and stretched the lead up to 48-6 in the fourth quarter, before Kelley led a final scoring drive for the Vikings.
Hilo's overwhelming size advantage on the line did not play a factor as the quick Wildcat defenders shut down most of the open holes and gang tackled the Viking ball-carriers or harassed Kelley in a crowded backfield throughout the evening.
In the junior varsity game, Hilo and Konawaena played to a 14-14 tie.
The varsity and JV games were played without a working scoreboard as the county equipment sat dark all evening. Royden Okunami, the public address announcer for Hilo, kept the fans informed of the official score and time throughout the varsity contest.
Konawaena 7 21 13 7 — 48
Hilo 0 6 0 6 — 12
First quarter
Kona — Kenan Gaspar 32 pass from Lii Karratti (John Replogle kick, 2:52)
Second quarter
Kona — John Kamoku 5 run (kick failed), 11:30
Hilo — Donovan Kelley 92 run (kick blocked), 10:52
Kona — Chase Takaki 43 pass from Karratti (Takaki pass to Domonic Morris), 3:15
Kona — Kamoku 5 run (kick failed), 1:12
Third quarter
Kona — Kamoku 51 run (kick failed), 3:54
Kona — Dishon Cho 30 run (Gaspar kick), :02
Fourth quarter
Kona — Gaspar 13 pass from Karratti (Replogle kick), 5:57
Hilo — Kelley 1 run (pass failed), 1:20

The Adventure Society
Thu Mar 12 2009
Forget running up the down escalator to get your thrills in this city—the Adventure Society takes its members hang-gliding, boulder-scaling and whitewater rafting. Founded in 2001 by Alaska native Serena Walker and billed as New York's first "outdoor activity and travel social organization," the club packs its weekends with outward-bound trips. Costs range between $55 and $250, and include equipment rental, guide fees and roundtrip transportation.So can newbies keep up with the Indiana Joneses? "Absolutely," says Walker, adding that each activity is denoted by a recommended experience level. Adventurers are generally in their late twenties to midforties, though it's not unusual to find older couples or a group of college friends in attendance. Upcoming activities include archery, zip-lining, snow-tubing, caving and ATV-ing, but start by signing up for Sunday 15's "Learn to Ice Climb" day trip or the mountain horseback ride and optional wine tasting on Saturday 21. Call 212-620-5348 or visit adventuresociety.com for more info. And bring your whip!—Mike Dang

Last week at bocce, James got in a game of tag with some neighborhood girls. When tagged, he immediately tagged the girl back, saying, "Tag back, no tagbacks."
To which she replied by calling "TIME OUT" every time he got remotely close to her.
Maybe it's my Wisconsin roots, but I don't like complicating my game of tag with Time Outs and No Tag Backs. So when you throw your Party Like You're Eight, please keep it simple, for me.
Freeze Tag Rules
You know your normal tag, where someone is it and when someone else is tagged, they become it.
Freeze tag is different from normal tag in that once a player is tagged, they don't become it.
Instead, they are frozen and have to stand where they are while it goes on freezing the other players.
Whoever is the last to be tagged wins.
In freeze tag, there's usually a way to free already frozen players to make it tag them again.
From Wikipedia:
For example, one player who is not it and not frozen may tag frozen players to release them, this mechanism allows a rule which dictates that if you are touched a certain number of times you are now it.
The most popular version of freeze tag has that a player who is frozen can become unfrozen if tagged by a player who is not it. A player tagged and frozen by it becomes the new it, and all the times they've been frozen goes to zero.
Or you could play so that each frozen player has a number of times that they can be frozen until they're it, or you could play so that the first person to go 10 seconds without being unfrozen becomes it.
TV Tag Rules
The person can not be tagged if they touch the ground and yell out the name of a television show. If the player is successful, it has to chase someone else. If the people playing can't think of the name of a show or say a show that someone already said, they can be tagged.
Happy tagging!

Trained by Murray Baker, the three-year-old arrived in Australia prior to the spring with just one start to his name and has since produced three impressive victories.
