Sangwoo's Feelings for Yoonbum
This is an analysis of Sangwoo's feelings and thoughts throughout the chapters and how he developed feelings for Bum. This is basically Sangwoo's POV of the story. It might answer some of the questions I've been seeing around about 'Why did Sangwoo do this or that?' and etc.
0. Emptiness
I think it's very obvious that Sangwoo used to be really really lonely before Bum showed up. As a child he was abused and I think he was very attached to his mother so he lost the only person in his life that he truly loved.
Imagine how frustrating it is to always pretend to be someone else. Be happy, smile, laugh, joke and hang out with people you don't even like. You think they're flawed, shallow, stupid, ungrateful and have ugly personalities (Sangwoo's words) but this is the only way he can be with people. He has to wear a mask 24/7 that hides his true personality and I don't care if he's horrible, he's still human. He doesn't whine about it but he's been subconsciously suffering. He has so many 'friends' and yet he's completely lonely because nobody accepts him for what he really is. He literally does not have anyone.
Now before you blame his behavior and tendencies, I want to point out that I think Sangwoo has Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD),
shows signs of BPD and also he's a victim of abuse so with those in mind, let's start:
1. 'A perverted stalker?'
A guy broke into Sangwoo's house and when he got caught, he confessed to him, telling him that he's been in love with him. Sangwoo smiles because 'people are full of shit' and say anything to save themselves. Let's trust his words here and say he didn't kill Bum because he hadn't kill a man in 3 years but I also think at that moment he feels like he should keep Bum around. Maybe out of curiosity? He's not sure why yet. He just knows Bum is a different case. To do that, he breaks Bum's legs to make sure he won't leave.
2. 'Can I be attracted to a man?'
He doesn't know what to do with this guy. Bum is not loud or annoying, he doesn't disobey him and is powerless. Sangwoo started to rationalize things for himself and figure out if he can be attracted to Bum, a man, in any way, basically he started exploring,
But still, he doesn't trust this 'perverted stalker' so he is thinking, 'I'll provoke him and I'll have a reason to end his life.' BUT to his surprise, his plan backfires. Bum likes the abuse (or at least pretends to). Despite mocking Yoonbum, Sangwoo is surprised! He loves what he's seeing. I believe he never got a reaction like that from anyone before when abusing them. And so he takes another step forward and kisses him, still experimenting.
He likes the kiss. He decides to keep Bum for now. He keeps him in the basement for a week. He hurts Bum by cutting him (punishing him) but still Yoonbum doesn't push him away. Sangwoo realizes Yoonbum really is not a threat and is powerless which is why he took him upstairs and when Yoonbum begged him not to take him to the basement again, despite rejecting him, he considered it.
3. 'You will hate me!' First Test
Sangwoo believed Yoonbum will eventually want to leave him. Because I think he is aware of his own wrong actions to some point at least. Why would anyone want to stay with him after everything that happened, right? But the big improvement was that he wasn't planning to kill him anymore. Why? I believe this is where the feelings started to develop. When he sees his mother (the only person he loved), in Yoonbum. Although he can separate these two people very well in reality.
Yoonbum said 'I love you!' AGAIN even after everything and Sangwoo is once again surprised! He slowly starts to trust this person's feelings. He even gives him a knife but… not because he trusts Bum. That's a test. I'm not sure if this translation is right but I believe that's what he means by 'I have something I want to confirm too'. He's testing Yoonbum's loyalty. He wants to know if Bum really means it when he says he loves him.
After that the real abuse starts and I believe he's copying his father's behavior while Yoonbum is 'the mom'. He makes him do house chores, beats him up, etc… Meanwhile he enjoys abusing him and is waiting for an excuse to hurt him badly because he's not emotionally attached to him yet. He doesn't care. But Yoonbum is always obedient and finally… Sangwoo lets Yoonbum sit at the table with him because he wonders why Yoonbum is so nice to him, always smiling and listening to him and even made him a really nice dinner. He suspects him and it happens to be the same night Yoonbum uses the rat poison. For whatever reason, the poison doesn't work on Sangwoo and Yoonbum passes the first test!
4. 'He really loves me?'
When Yoonbum got sick, is where we can see Sangwoo's emotions to some point. Sangwoo picked him up and took him to the basement but he looked at Bum and actually felt sorry for him (or maybe he just couldn't see him as a threat. Either way) He went back up and laid him down on his own mattress. He took care of him and told him to rest. You can see him sitting beside him and staring at him in silence and I love this panel so much because you can see Sangwoo caring.
can't help but feel like he's worrying for his sick bunny xD His emotions aren't strong but he doesn't want to lose Bum.
I think the question Yoonbum asked (whether he really meant it or not) made Sangwoo happy a bit. Chapter 5 is where he finally feels attached to Yoonbum and shows him affection. They started exchanging stories. Sangwoo was actually interested to know about his story, although he was a bit disappointed, saying that it's 'boring' and that he hates weak people like Yoonbum who self pity. "Stop going on about how lonely you are. I hate that shit." Why? Because Sangwoo is not the type that stay sad and depressed over their misfortunes. He's the type that wants to get stronger to beat whatever and whoever is in his way. But in a way he thinks Yoonbum is like him. He started comparing himself with Yoonbum which is a big improvement. He told him how Yoonbum made things easier for him. "Why? How? I looked for a reason. And then I saw you." He told Bum he was glad they were together and Yoonbum's love made him feel stronger which I believe means Yoonbum's love and obedience gives him confidence. And by kissing Bum's wrist he implied that the love can be mutual.
Although he still doesn't fully trust him
(which is probably why he also refused the bj) but he was letting himself believe that Bum's love for him was real. He's happy to see someone is still in love with him even after everything that happened and after he saw Sangwoo's true personality. He has someone now that knows his darkest secrets and still wants him for what he really is.
5. 'Almost there…' Second Test
Everything seems to be going well after that. Sangwoo was kind and affectionate towards Yoonbum. He took care of him and joked around. Although I'd like to think he was being too nice on purpose and not really himself and that's because the second test was coming. He wanted Bum to feel he'd lowered his guards. He reminded Bum not to cross the line then left the house and Bum fails the second test.
6. 'Don't be pathetic.' First Lesson
Even though he was hoping Yoonbum won't come out, he expected it (considering he had the basement ready for him). He does not trust Bum at all and I think he was trying to kill Bum until he saw him calling his name even in his last moments so that changed his mind. It's as if you want to let go of someone you like but they keep coming back to you so you can't make the right decision. He wants Yoonbum. He wants someone to love him and he knows he probably won't ever find anyone like that again. He was disappointed in Yoonbum SO he decided to make him better! Stronger! Like himself. So after punishing him, first he decided to show him how pathetic he is. He found a guy for Bum to kill ('for practice'), meanwhile insulting both of them to show Bum how 'bad' it is to be weak.
Sangwoo still cares about him and makes sure Yoonbum knows that. The sick little mind games he played, were only because he enjoys seeing Bum relying on him and trusting him blindly. As I said before, it gives him confidence and makes him feel stronger.
This first murder happened. It was supposedly to make Bum stronger, show him how it feels to kill and… the most important part, help Yoonbum understand Sangwoo and be closer to him (spiritually!?) so they can be together.
7. 'He left me too! I won't forgive him!' The Breakdown
Fear of abandonment. I already wrote a long post and talked about Sangwoo's fear of abandonment here. The panic that happens after he thinks he's been abandoned and the roller coaster of emotions. Rage, Fear, Worry, Sadness. He feels betrayed. He goes mad … and I have one thing to add to it all. I think that might've been how he felt when his mother 'left him' AKA died considering the flashbacks.
(I'm not sure if this person is his mother though. She might have been a replacement?) I don't know if Sangwoo killed her or something else happened but we can be sure that he loves and wants Yoonbum equally.
When he finds Yoonbum… he realizes how valuable he is to him and so he finally decides, "Let's stay together… forever…"
8. 'See how disgusting people are'
I'm going to skip a bit to where Sangwoo introduces Yoonbum to his 'friends'. I think this is all to let Yoonbum get bullied, emotionally hurt, to build up some anger in him and provoke him. To remind him this is how people will treat you if you let them. Sangwoo already knows Yoonbum has been bullied and hurt a lot in his life because in a way he can relate to him. They are the same people. They were both hurt and abused and they have the right to punish these disgusting people. And this is all for Yoonbum and for the both of them. Sangwoo is pulling him up to his level or at least close so that they can be together. Jieun was a gift to Yoonbum and Sangwoo was happy to see Yoonbum accepted that gift.
I tried to keep this as short as possible. I think I understand Sangwoo well and I believe this is also the reason why he kills… but still these are only my thoughts and how I see everything. So they might not be 100% true. Koogi might have more surprises for her readers. But still, I love this character a lot and I can't wait to see and know more about him and his past.
Also I kind of fast forwarded the last chapter because there are so many posts about it already.

Keeping a Shoeless Home
Do You Have a Shoeless Home?
I'll never forget the first time a mom friend asked me to remove my shoes when I entered her home. I've always been more comfortable going barefoot in my home than not, but I'd never had a friend ask me, as an adult, to remove my shoes. Thank goodness I had recently gone for a pedicure! As time's passed, though, I've seen more and more friends and acquaintances adopt shoeless home policies — it has even become second nature to my kids to sit down and take off their kicks as soon as they enter a friend's home.
Sure, it could be about cleanliness, but according to Healthy Child Healthy World, shoes track in lead-contaminated soil, lawn and garden pesticides, wood smoke, industrial toxins, mutagens, dust mites, and allergens. By removing shoes, dust is reduced by 60 precent.
So tell us: to shoe or not to shoe? Do you require guests and family members to leave their footwear at the door? Adults and children?

I'm normally neutral about corn on its own – which is to say I don't dislike it or feel immense pleasure when eating it – but there was one time when I really wanted to eat a fresh ear on its cob.
My friend, Augie, was visiting me in New York, and he wanted to go to a restaurant known for its grilled corn with lime and spice. Until I started writing this post, I didn't remember exactly what was on the corn, or the name of the restaurant for that matter. But I knew that this corn had flavors that made it exciting.
(Note: It was quite easy to find the name of the restaurant with the amazing corn. I only had to search for "grilled corn, New York" to find Café Habana at 17 Prince Street. For the record, their grilled corn is made with lime, chile powder, and cotija cheese.)
I had that grilled corn years ago, so I had completely forgotten about it. Until last weekend, that is, when I watched Marcela Valladolid make esquites on Mexican Made Easy.

So I froze the remaining half of the Chocolate Pate Sablee dough I made for my Blood Orange-Blueberry Tian a couple of weeks ago and decided it was time to put it to use, don't know why I even bothered putting it the freezer.
The first thing than came to mind was a chocolate tart. I decided to go with a mouthwatering recipe from Desserts by the Yard by Sherry Yard.
Did you know that Sherry stopped by and donated as well as purchased quite a few goodies for the LA Food Bloggers Bake Sale last weekend!
It was unfortunate that I didn't get to meet her that day, she stopped by early in the morning and I was scheduled to help out later in the day.
Rachael of La Fuji Mama did a great recap on the event, and she was also kind enough to share this photo with me. Thanks Rachael!
Did you see it, did you see it… My brown business card is sticking out of her box filled with goodies? Rachael also told me she wanted to know if I was there because she was impressed with my macarons. Sigh…
This calls for a chocolate fix.
- ½ chocolate pate sable recipe, refrigerated for at least 4 hours, or overnight
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 8 ounces (2-sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 6 large eggs, at room temperature
- ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- whipped cream, optional topping
- bittersweet chocolate chips, optional topping
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and lightly spray your tart pans with cooking spray.
- On a lightly floured/cocoa powdered work surface. Roll the dough out to ¼ inch thickness and line the pans with the dough. Prick the bottom of the pastry shell a few times with a fork. Line the shell with parchment paper and fill with dried beans, un-cooked rice, or pie weights and gently press against the shell to ensure all corners are filled and bake for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the weights and transfer them to a heat proof container.
- Gently pull the parchment paper off the tarts and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the pastry shows no sign of moisture; it will be a dull dark brown. If the parchment paper sticks, return the covered pastry shell to the oven for another 3 minutes or until to you can easily pull the liner off. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a rack.
- Using the double broiler method melt the chocolate and butter. Once melted turn the burner off and leave the bowl over the pan so that the mixture remains hot.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, combine the eggs and sugar and beat on medium speed until just lemony yellow and doubled in volume, about 3 minutes.
- Whisk the flour into the chocolate mixture. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the hot chocolate mixture to the eggs all at once. Scrape down the bowl and continue to mix for 30 seconds, until well combined. Fill the cooled tart shells all the way to the top.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes for 4" tarts, or up to 20 minutes for a 9" tart shell. Until the cake is just set and slightly oozing in the center. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Melt bittersweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in the microwave in 30 second intervals at 50% power, and with a spatula spread over chilled tarts. Top with whipped cream and/or chocolate chips.

Oppressive Expressionistic Poetry For The Sake Of Art - Poem by Ted Sheridan
The artist wearing her dark glasses; stole the sunlight
from the poet's eyes by painting over the narratives in her cataract style
of cloudy depictions. As with any true altruist she believes in the selflessness
of her actions and is so elated with her art that she shares it freely.
While the poet weeps tears of ink; the artist wearing her dark glasses
thinks the poet does protest too much…and is less than impressed
with him as her reward.

Ivan Donn Carswell (3/23/2008 6:16:00 PM)
Any genre expression (boom boom) is merely expressionistic word-mangling to a poet. And it ain't poetry in my bigoted (and enigmatic) opinion. Cataracts or waterfalls be buggered - we bleed every time we write, like it or lump it. Nevertheless a fine piece with great use of imagery. Rgds, Ivan (Report) Reply
Tara very irritated with PH injustice (3/18/2008 8:32:00 AM)
Ted. I am absolutely staggered that this one has been (so far) overlooked. Perhaps we need a distribution of clear glasses. It's an absolute stunner. And, kind of relaxing, despite (because of?) the sentiments. t x (Report) Reply

The Rise of Glut Inventory
by Joe Mandese on Feb 2, 10:56 AM
The rapid growth of the online advertising marketplace has made the Internet the envy of other major media, but publishers are beginning to realize that they may actually have too much of a good thing. There's a hidden price in the rapidly expanding supply of online advertising inventory and it appears, quite literally, to be the price people pay for it.

Behind the Numbers: The Energizer Bunny Sector
by Lynn Russo Whylly on Feb 2, 10:56 AM
At a time when many traditional media are posting double-digit reductions, it's heartening to see one that is moving in a (sort of) upward direction. That medium is digital out-of-home. In q408, pq Media projected that digital ooh - which includes both static signage and full-motion audio and video on a flat screen - would finish

Need to Know: The Ad Stays in the Picture
by Steve Smith on Feb 2, 10:56 AM
In the never-ending struggle to monetize digital video, technology providers are throwing ad units at every last pixel of visible real estate: pre- and post-rolls, bottom-third and pop-down overlays, and media player skins. The only space left may lie inside the frame itself, in all that background empty space where video action doesn't occur.

Market: What a Girl Wants
by Lynn Russo Whylly on Feb 2, 10:56 AM
It's a proven fact that women do the majority of the shopping, both online and off, in all but a few categories. If your products fall into any of the tens of dozens of categories in which women control the spending, your career may depend on getting women not only to listen to or see your message, but to embrace it, pass it on and talk endlessly about your product's virtues to millions of other women.

Social Focus: The Wayback Machine
by David Honig on Feb 2, 10:56 AM
Something extraordinary is happening: we are witnessing the creation of an entirely new Internet model that few people could have foreseen even three years ago. According to some analysts, as much as 70 percent of consumer time online is now spent viewing content created not by professional editors, but by fellow consumers. Most eyeballs are trained on social media sites like Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, and YouTube.

Industry Watch: No Place Like Home Page
by Eric Butterman on Feb 2, 10:56 AM
eBay isn't a Web site - it's an obsession. Ever since Internet users learned how easy it was to shop from home, it's been a credit card and click. Shopping for a home, however, is a different story, considering that one click would equal a $200,000 mortgage and, therefore, a death wish to many economically uncertain consumers.

Triple-X Sells
by Erin DeJesus on Feb 2, 10:56 AM
Have you heard? Apparently, sex sells - and no company takes that adage to pervy, pornographic heights like American Apparel. Though the company's ads have long featured sad-looking lady friends of ceo Dov Charney in various states of undress, AA pushed its final frontier in late December by hiring an actual porn star - 20-year-old Sasha Grey, Adult Video News' Female Performer of the Year - to flash her full-frontal bits.

Cookie Cutter
by Lynn Russo Whylly on Feb 2, 10:56 AM
I buy a gift online for my niece every Christmas, which results in my getting dozens of children's catalogs all year long. I don't mind my data being collected, but I wish marketers understood that I'm not interested in Lite-Brite, Play-Doh and Legos 11 months out of the year. And that is where consumer purchase intent data exchange BlueKai hopes to change targeting.

Meat Martyrs
by Gaetano Pollice on Feb 2, 10:56 AM
You know all that dead weight your Facebook account drags around in the form of extraneous work acquaintances, one-night stands and middle-aged family members who only recently discovered the Internet? Thanks to Burger King, you now have quite the compelling excuse to finally cull them from the herd.

Human remains were found in the boot of a missing Kerang man's burnt-out car, detectives have confirmed.
Police found William Stevenson's car on Wednesday at Norman Road in Wellsford, north of Bendigo.
Mr Stevenson, 47, had been at a friend's house, near where the car was found, on Christmas Day. He had not been seen since.
Two people have been arrested and are assisting police with their inquiries.
Detective Senior Sergeant Ron Iddles confirmed remains were found in the boot of Mr Stevenson's 1996 green Mitsubishi Magna sedan.
The car was found by a police officer from the nearby town of Goornong, who was searching the area at the request of detectives.
Senior Sergeant Iddles said it appeared the vehicle had been pushed by a four-wheel-drive after being set alight.
He urged anyone who had moved the car, or knew any further information, to contact police.
"If someone has moved the car, they are not in trouble, we just need to eliminate all possibilities," he said.
He said it was "odd" no one had reported the fire.
Senior Sergeant Iddles said no cause of death had been determined, but confirmed the remains belonged to a man.
Mr Stevenson's family in New Zealand has been notified of the investigation.
Forensic investigators are at the scene, and the car is expected to be removed on Thursday afternoon.
A pathologist from the state coroner's office is examining the remains.
Mr Stevenson was reported missing on December 27 when he did not turn up to work in Bendigo.
Police believe the car may have been at the site for days. It appears to have been rammed away from the road by another vehicle.
A crime scene has been established at the site and detectives are waiting for the results of forensic tests on the vehicle.
Anyone who may have seen Mr Stevenson or his car in the Kerang, Bendigo or Wellsford areas since December 25 is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Jordyn Bonanni - Poem by Ashleigh Gaffney
You look at me
From across this place,
Laughing along
With a smile on my face.
It's painted on
If you could only see,
Because this isn't the person
That I want to be.
She has it all
She's one of the few,
She has it all
I just want to be like you.
You laugh
Is real,
Your smile
Is true.
If I could only feel,
What its like to be you.
I see a father,
How he loves you so.
I see a mother,
Who will never let you go.
I see a brother,
Who is always there for you.
I look in the mirror,
Oh how I would like to be you.
You are a dream,
That for me came true.
Oh and Jordyn Bonanni,
I love you ♥

Freshman Ryan Pfutzenreuter (Deerfield, Ill.) earned a spot on the BIG EAST Weeky Honor Roll as announced by the conference office this afternoon.
Freshman relief pitchers Ryan Pfutzenreuter (Deerfield, Ill.) and Tyler Arella (East Northport, N.Y.) combined to pitch four hitless innings of relief and Villanova (14-33, 5-13 BIG EAST) and the offense mounted a pair of big rallies to overcome No. 20 St. John's (40-9, 13-5 BIG EAST) by a final score of 9-6 at Jack Kaiser Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The win is the first over a ranked opponent since 2012 for the Wildcats, who closed out the 2017 season on a high note. Villanova overcame deficits of 3-0 and 6-4 in the game, and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning.
The game was scoreless up until the fifth inning when St. John's (40-8, 13-4 BIG EAST) scored five runs to break open the game on Friday afternoon at Jack Kaiser Stadium in Queens, N.Y. The Wildcats (13-33, 4-13 BIG EAST) were able to produce seven hits, while junior Ryan Doty (Rye, N.Y.) was able to control the Red Storm for four innings against an impressive offensive lineup.
An early seven run inning helped the St. John's Red Storm cruise past Villanova in BIG EAST Conference play at Jack Kaiser Stadium in Queens N.Y. on Thursday afternoon. Despite the loss, the Wildcats were able to produce one run on ten hits in the 15-1 loss. Sophomore Juan De La Espriella (Westin, Fla.) entered the game in the sixth inning and went two for two on the day.
The Villanova baseball team will travel to St. John's for the last conference series of the year. This series will also close out the regular season for the Wildcats. St. John's is currently in the top 25 Division I Baseball rankings at number 20.
The bats broke out for the Wildcats (13-31) in the top of the second inning at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park against Penn State (17-35) on Tuesday evening, but Villanova was defeated 11-5. Doug deMarrais (Bernardsville, N.J.) went three for four on the day with one RBI, while freshman Dominic Sarro (North Riverside, Ill.) had two hits and two RBI.
In the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon, Villanova (13-30, 4-11 BIG EAST) was no-hit by Seton Hall (28-20, 10-8 BIG EAST) right-handed pitcher Zach Prendergast in a 1-0 loss at the Villanova Ballpark at Plymouth. Earlier in the day, the Pirates tallied a 2-0 victory in the seven-inning opening game of the twin-bill, which marked the Wildcats final home games of the 2017 season.
After a pregame ceremony recognizing the team's graduating seniors, it was back to business on the field as Villanova (13-29, 4-10 BIG EAST) hosted a doubleheader against Seton Hall (27-20, 9-8 BIG EAST) at the Villanova Ballpark at Plymouth on Saturday afternoon. In the seven-inning opening game, the Pirates scored single runs in the second and third innings to tally a 2-0 victory. The nightcap began just before 2 p.m.

November 14, 2001
AMHERST, MA - The Amherst College women's ice hockey team will look to power its way through the nine-team New England Small College Athletic Conference this season, capitalizing on the experience of a veteran unit and the talent of an impressive first-year class. Returning seven sophomores - each of whom played in every game last season and account for four of the team's top five returning scorers - and losing only one player, Gretchen Bowe '01, to graduation, the Jeffs are poised to make a run into the postseason. In addition, the switch from ECAC-based competition to formal NESCAC play will culminate with a first-ever conference postseason tournament and the first NCAA-sponsored Division III National Championship for women's ice hockey, giving the Jeffs plenty of room to make the 2001-2002 season a definitive one in the program's history.
Bowe, who will return to the Amherst bench as an assistant coach via the College's prestigious Hitchcock Fellowship, ended a stellar four-year playing career as the Jeffs' second all-time leading scorer with 76 goals, 84 assists and 160 points. Despite injury, Bowe capped off her senior season with eight goals and 11 assists in 18 games, second only to junior forward Danielle Williams (Needham, MA). Williams led the Amherst attack with 23 goals and 15 assists during her sophomore season, ranking her fifth in the NESCAC and sixth in the ECAC, as well as giving her ECAC Weekly Honor Roll acclaim six times. Sophomore Alison White (Brookline, MA) had an outstanding rookie season, finishing 11th in the NESCAC and 16th in the ECAC with 10 goals and 17 assists. For her efforts, White was named the ECAC Rookie of the Week once, and was named to the ECAC Weekly Honor Roll six times.
With Bowe graduated, head coach Kay Cowperthwait will turn to Williams and White to lead the offense. Sophomore forwards Tory Serues (Cambridge, MA) and Katie Potter (Ridgewood, NJ), and sophomore defender Elissa Landes (Potomac, MD) will also be called upon after collectively contributing 10 goals and 18 assists as first-years. Junior forward Bess Kargman (Brookline, MA) added three goals and four assists during her sophomore campaign.
The Jeffs also return a stingy defense, led by junior goaltender Heidi Alexander (Edina, MN) and senior co-captain defender Hillary Zwerdling (Shrewsbury, MA). Zwerdling, who enters her second season as team captain along with first-year captain Williams, scored four goals as a junior but made defense her trademark, earning NESCAC All-Academic Team honors last winter. Alexander will pose the last line of defense for the Jeffs after playing between the pipes in every outing last year, recording a 4.20 goals-against-average in a 7-16-1 Amherst campaign. Alexander was given ECAC Weekly Honor Roll accolades eight times during her 2000-2001 sophomore run as the only Amherst goaltender. Alexander and Zwerdling will lead a cohort of young defensive talent, and sophomores Pam Burkardt (Pittsburgh, PA) and Amanda Muller (Princeton, NJ) will also patrol the defensive zone.
To add to the Amherst initiative, rookie goaltender K.C. Cosentino (Greenwich, CT) will help out Alexander in the net, while first-year defenders Sarah Mason (Minneapolis, MN), Alicia Pichard (Potomac, MD) and Lauren Caldwell (Cranbury, NJ) will join the defensive ranks. Finally, first-year forwards Annie Grabowski (Princeton, NJ) and Ellie Roe (Edina, MN) will round out the Jeff offense.
Amherst will kick off the 2001-2002 season with tough away dates at two-time national champion Middlebury College and Williams College, before returning home to host the Connecticut College Camels for a two-game tilt on November 24th and 25th. Their schedule will match them up against some of the best competition in New England, featuring games against Bowdoin College, Boston University and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
A trio of NECSAC teams hold the top three spots in this week's USCHO.com Division III Women's Ice Hockey Poll. Middlebury is ranked first followed by second-ranked Williams and third-ranked Bowdoin.

Madrid (UPI) Feb 21, 2013
Asteroids, unlike comets, are seldom seen sporting a tail as they orbit the sun, but Spanish astronomers say they've observed one of these rare exceptions.
Using a telescope in the Canary Islands, they spotted an asteroid dubbed P/2012 F5 that displayed a trail like that of comets.
Its emission of dust or gas may have been caused by internal rupture or collision with another asteroid, a release from the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology reported Wednesday.
"Our models indicate that [the trail] was caused by an impulsive short-lived event lasting just a few hours around the July 1st, 2011, with an uncertainty of 20 days," Fernando Moreno, researcher at the Astrophysics Institute of Andalusia said.
Telescope images reveal "a fine and elongated dust structure that coincides exactly with the synchrone [timing] of that day," Moreno said.
"It could have arisen from collision with another asteroid or rather a rotational rupture" of material gradually breaking free after partial fragmentation of the asteroid, the researchers said.
The said they estimate the asteroid has a radius of between 300 and 450 feet and the dust mass emitted is about half a million tons.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/6/2013 (1497 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Facing a tight withdrawal deadline and tough terrain, the U.S. military has destroyed more than 80 million kilograms of vehicles and other military equipment as it rushes to wind down its role in the Afghanistan war by the end of 2014.
The massive disposal effort, which U.S. military officials call unprecedented, has unfolded largely out of sight amid an ongoing debate inside the Pentagon about what to do with the heaps of equipment that won't be returning home. Military planners have determined that more than $7 billion worth of equipment -- about 20 per cent of what the U.S. military has in Afghanistan -- will not be shipped back, because it is no longer needed or would be too costly to send home.
Much of it will continue to be shredded, cut and crushed to be sold for pennies per pound on the Afghan scrap market -- a process that reflects a presumptive end to an era of protracted ground wars.

Will Joseph Gordon-Levitt Play Batman in 'Justice League' — AND 'Man of Steel'?
Christopher Nolan's final Batman film ended with a new Dark Knight – Joseph Gordon-Levitt – possibly taking over the cowl. (He finds himself inside the Batcave at the end of the film.) Now, it looks like Gordon-Levitt will soon get another chance to play Batman.
According to HitFix.com's sources, The Dark Knight Rises star "absolutely will be appearing" as the Caped Crusader in Warner Bros.' Justice League movie.
HitFix's Drew McWeeney claims that "over the last couple of weeks," talks regarding the actor's involvement in the 2015 release "solidified into a plan."
HitFix also speculates that at least one more actor from Nolan's Batman trilogy will roll over into Justice League "to do…something."
Do you think this rumor is true? Is Gordon-Levitt the Batman Justice League needs and deserves? Sound off in the comments section and watch Celebuzz' behind-the-scenes footage from Man of Steel now!

As sharemarkets in many countries continue their upward march, perhaps investors should start to consider what might happen when central banks wind back their stimulus programs.
The size and tenure of monetary stimulus policies, which have introduced a series of acronyms such as QE into the English lexicon, have been unprecedented.
Bill Stromberg, director of global equities at asset management behemoth T. Rowe Price, thinks US central bank chairman
That said, if and when the world's most powerful central banker starts applying the brakes, investors should think carefully about their portfolios. Whether unwinding stimulus programs can be done without causing huge ructions in financial markets is anyone's guess.
"It's a playbook that hasn't been run before," says Stromberg.
"The lessons of history might be less useful. The odds are that Ben Bernanke has been thinking about an exit [from stimulus programs] since the point of entry, but markets may not like the change."
In the meantime, Stromberg is confident the US will avoid Japanese-style deflation, although he is less sure Europe can avoid a prolonged fall in consumer prices.
Lack of fiscal union will continue to mar Europe's chances of getting its economy back on track.
"It requires a lot of work to keep everyone moving in the same direction," says Stromberg.
"You need sensible reform that allows them to grow their economies while shrinking the government sector, in particular the entitlements programs."
While on the subject of Europe, Stromberg is reasonably confident the single currency will remain intact for the next 12 to 18 months, after which he argues there is a "real possibility" that some countries will fall out as they fail to cope with the level of austerity being brought to bear. The region has yet to find a balance between solving budget deficit problems with the need to improve economic growth.
But, says Stromberg, even if some countries leave the euro, it may not be the end of the world for investors.
"A lot of people have mapped out the consequences [of a break-up]. It won't shake the world as it would have two years ago because we've had so long to prepare," he says.
As for Japan, Stromberg is not convinced the government's determination to lower the value of the yen will boost the economy without efforts to modify corporate behaviour. "There is no reason to believe that corporate earnings will find a permanently higher plateau. You need more signs of improvements in productivity."
On the other hand, he expects Chinese growth to continue between 6 and 8 per cent for the next few years as the government implements "sensible" reforms.
"The Chinese seem to be pretty good at managing the evolution of their economy. To doubt that would be betting against history."
Longer term, one of the big quandaries facing investors is the point at which markets might start to become concerned at the level of US government debt, which stands at $US16 trillion, and upon which the political parties are unable to agree a course of action other than fiddling at the edges.
Such concerns were raised long ago in countries such as Spain and Italy, but so far – partly because of the size of the US economy and the dollar's reserve currency status – there is no talk of this happening in the US.
But Stromberg warns there is a tipping point. "Hopefully we won't reach it because sensible approaches will be found first."

MWL notes: Knebel starts as closer08/01/2013 6:00 AM ET
By Curt Rallo / Special to MiLB.com
West Michigan's Corey Knebel ran out to the mound to pitch the ninth inning against the South Bend Silver Hawks on Sunday. Seven pitches later he was dealing out high-fives and heading for the clubhouse, picking up his eighth save in eight opportunities.
A first-round pick (39th overall) by the Detroit Tigers in June, Knebel signed for $1.4 million and was thrown into the fire of full-season ball in the Midwest League -- and he's been fighting fire with fire.
His 95 mph fastball, power curve, slider and changeup have burned the opposition, who are hitting .167 against him. The 6-foot-3 right-hander has a 1-0 record with a 1.13 ERA in 16 appearances. He's allowed two earned runs over 16 innings, yielding nine hits and seven walks with 17 strikeouts.
Dominating as a closer doesn't mean that Knebel will be working that role in the Tigers' instructional league, however.
"It's still up there, whether I'm going to be a starter or a closer," Knebel said. "Either way is fine with me. Right now, closing is what's happening.
"I love being a closer. I go in there knowing that, hey, if I give up a run, we lose the game. It's all in my hands. There's a lot of competition. I'm not relaxed, and that's what I like about it. I wouldn't mind being a starter. Starting is something I love. I did it in high school. I'm more relaxed when I'm starting."
David Chadd, Detroit's vice president, amateur scouting and special assistant to the general manager, said the Tigers will likely make a decision about Knebel this fall.
"We like his pitches," Chadd said. "He throws a great fastball with a power breaking ball, and he also throws a slider and a changeup. He had a dominating career at the University of Texas as a closer.
"We drafted him with the idea of making him a starter. We thought the best plan for the Tigers and for Corey this spring was keep him as a closer. We may address that in the instructional league. He's done so well, you can't rule out that we may just leave him as a closer. We could possibly try to start him, as well, because he has four good pitches."
Chadd said Knebel's command gives the Tigers options.
"For us, it comes down to mechanics, delivery, arm action and the ability to throw pitches for strikes," Chadd said. "We saw Corey do that at Texas, and we continue to see it in pro ball."
Knebel's performance has rewarded the Tigers for what was considered a potentially risky pick. Knebel had two suspensions within two months at Texas, which raised eyebrows just before the Draft. He was suspended for a dugout confrontation with his pitching coach and again for providing urine for a fellow Longhorns pitcher's drug test.
"It caught my attention," Knebel said of the suspensions. "I needed to watch who I trusted. I needed to trust people who I know will have my back. I tried not to let it get to me. I didn't think I'd go first round because of the suspensions, but it all worked out. The suspensions were definitely learning experiences."
Chadd said the Tigers didn't feel they were taking a risk drafting Knebel in the first round.
"It was a concern, but we did our work," Chadd said. "I felt good about the situation. We felt like it was just an individual who made some mistakes. We spent some time before the Draft talking to him. We felt comfortable with the answers we were getting from him."
In brief
Moving time: Danry Vasquez showed up at the ballpark Monday expecting to take batting practice with his West Michigan teammates; instead, he was told to pack up and get to the airport. Vasquez, an outfielder who was signed for $1.2 million by the Tigers in 2010, was traded to Houston in a deal for Astros closer Jose Veras and a player to be named later. Vasquez, who was hitting .281 for West Michigan, remains in the Midwest League after getting assigned by the Astros to Quad Cities.
"I'm in shock," Vasquez said after learning about the trade. "It's hard for me to leave my team. I'm grateful for the Tigers to give me the opportunity to play baseball. Now, I'm an Astro. I'm super happy they think enough of me to trust me and trade a big league guy for me."
Rattlers rally: The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers bit Burlington for five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning for a stunning 6-5 victory Sunday. Garrett Cooper capped the comeback with a two-out, two-run triple, just the second walk-off triple in franchise history (Michael Marseco, April 22, 2010, against Peoria).
Grand comeback: Beau Amaral's grand slam highlighted a six-run eighth inning that lifted Dayton to an 8-5 victory against Fort Wayne on Sunday. Amaral's slam is the fourth by the Dragons in the month of July.

It is a mark of where advertising budgets are these days that even Oscar-nominated directors can be persuaded to take a break from their day jobs to help flog sportswear. Alejandro González Iñárritu, previously responsible for Babel, Amores Perros and 21 Grams is unlikely to look back on Nike's new Write the Future advert as one of the high points of his career, but he can at least be satisfied that it is among the better World Cup offerings to hit our screens so far. Not that the competition has been stiff, mind.
Assembling a small horde of the most recognisable players taking part in this summer's tournament was always going to be the starting point for any such advert for Nike and on that front they certainly do not disappoint. Didier Drogba, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fabio Cannavaro and Franck Ribéry all appear, as do a number of celebrities who won't be gracing South African pitches this summer, like Homer Simpson, Kobe Bryant and, erm, Ronaldinho. Always problematic when the sport refuses to co-operate with the product, eh lads?
The advert, a hefty three minutes long in its full version, steers us through a series of flashpoints in theoretical games in which the players show off their skills while fantasising about how glorious life will be if they triumph. It's every bit as glossy as you would expect, but there is a nice degree of self-awareness that prevents it going down the same route as Carlsberg's painfully overcooked offering.
Rather than glorying in the hyperbole, Nike have the good sense to poke fun at it – highlighting the absurdity of stock values rising or crashing dependent on a country's footballing success and light-heartedly presenting a whole ward full of babies named after Wayne Rooney. Having wiled away more than one evening in front of Italian variety shows like Chiambretti Night in my lifetime, I would be lying if I said the image of Cannavaro being serenaded by a middle-aged man while surrounded by scantily-clad dancers didn't draw a snort of approval.
But whilst there are neat touches the advert does fall some way short of Nike's previous best efforts. It has neither the camp brilliance of Eric Cantona's "au revoir" before firing a shot through a devil's stomach, nor the simple lightheartedness of Brazil's footballers enjoying a kickabout in an airport terminal. It doesn't even have Cantona talking nonsense on a boat that's about to sink.
Instead it feels a bit like something that has been done by the numbers, like everyone involved knew that what they were making was fine - unlikely to ruffle any feathers and certain, by dint of the players involved, to get plenty of coverage. The existence of articles like this one suggests they succeeded. And hey, at least it doesn't have Terry Venables in it.
What they say: "Write the future."
What it means: If you've got the budget.

There are two government programs that provide dental insurance for those who can't afford it: Medicaid and CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program). What exactly is covered and what percent of costs/charges will be paid for by the plan varies from state to state. To see if you or your family qualifies, contact your state's Medicaid or CHIP office or call 1-800-MEDICARE.
You can also contact the Bureau of Primary Health Care, which is part of the Health Resources and Services Administration. It helps finance community health centers that offer free (or low-cost) medical and dental care.
Your other options include seeking out local dental schools and dental hygienist schools. These schools have clinics where students (supervised by trained professionals, of course) gain experience treating patients. The services they offer are significantly discounted.Finally, remember that some of the best ways to take good care of your teeth are things you can do at home without a dentist's help: make sure you brush well twice a day (for two minutes), floss, and eat nutritiously avoiding the five food felons. Also, drinking water fortified with fluoride is a great way to prevent tooth decay (note: two-thirds of public water supplies are fortified with fluoride!).

Getting Enough H2O?
Shawn Michaels, Townsquare Media
Do you drink enough water?
So it is a new year and we are all looking to get fit for spring. Days are now getting longer and in 7 weeks we will be into March! One of the things all diet and fitness experts agree on is getting enough water. I have to admit though that I really don't like the taste of plain water and I don't wanna drink alot of diet soda.
I have found a great answer. The water additive drops ! It says it makes 24 servings, but I dont like it that sweet so I use half …. So 48 servings for under $3.00 It's good way to get water and it's affordable! Have you ever tried the "flavor drops" ? Do you like ? Love to hear your thoughts ……
How do you get enough water ?
Join us Monday Morning as we discuss breaking bad diet habits in 2013 with nutrition expert Keri Glassman

EOS's darling Alice in Wonderland Lip Balm Set has proven a little tricky to locate for me. It was supposed to be at Target as of September and following up with a release at Walgreens and Ulta in November with online locations such as Target.com, Walmart.com, and Drugstore.com launching it as of November as well.
However, no matter how hard I tried I was never successful finding it at Target! Any luck for you?
You'll be happy to know that it's slowing starting to trickle into stores now and I've seen it at both Ulta and Target finally as well as online at Ulta.com
This very delightful set was inspired by Disney's Alice in Wonderland and includes a trio of full size EOS Lip Balm Spheres.
Take a look!
