My Min Pin, Rocky, is 2 1/2 years old. I got him when he was one, and the lady that had him first never trained him. No matter how often or for how long we walk him, he still insists on doing his business in the house, usually on a rug. I'm at my wits end! Also, he insists on barking at everything and everyone. Even if it's me coming in the door. Any help would be SO greatly appreciated!

I have an 8 month old chihuahua/rat terrier mix. We got her when she was 4 months old and decided to go with crate training. It seemed to have worked at first, but then she gets to excited when it's time to go out and piddles on the floor. Then we decided, no excitement just open the door, and take her out. That seemed to work. Then when she would have accidents in the house, we would rub her face on it or give her smacks on her bottom and say NO! For the most part she has gotten it pretty well. But now, she is starting to go in her crate.
She is walked first thing in the morning. Fed, then walked again. Is in her cage, gets play time, then off to the dog walker she goes. When she comes home, she has already gone potty, then we feed her, let her play a bit, then take her out about 45 min later. then back in the house, play time, and she usually naps with our other dog which is totally potty trained. before bed (usually 10pm) she is walked again and the put in the crate, and the cycle starts all over again. when we arent going to be home for a few she is always taken out right before and then put in the crate and as soon as we come home take her back out again.
We just can't seem to put our finger on it as to when she is in fact peeing in her cage. Any suggestion in how to get her to be 100% outside potty trained like the our other dog? We are moving to a new place shortly and are afraid that she will be going everywhere and there are hardwood floors! PLEASE HELP!
I rescued a 2 year old Pitty mix who has had only a shelter life. Of course he has issues; not leash trained, we're using a Gentle Leader on him and he's doing great. He had food aggression issues for 1 day! He has learned sit, stay, down, wait, (as in his food in bowl right in front of him,) then I say get it. I can walk away and my boy will sit there til I give that command.
However, he will not stop peeing all over my house. It's not a medical issue; he's been checked. Its not that I don't take my boys outside. I have 5 dogs (all potty trained) and they are outside whenever they want. I am home with them all day and my animals are what I do! I walk him with each of his brothers every morning so that he can get accustomed to walking better with another dog. Their daddy walks them at night.
I am honestly at the end of my rope. I don't know what else I can do. I know how to potty train dogs, or so I thought. I am writing this because he is gone beyond just territorial marking or anything like that. He walked in the house today, came into the room where I was, lifted his leg and peed all over my foot. We've had him since Feb 15th. I refuse to give up on this little guy. What am I missing? Please help!

I have potty trained two active Jack Russell puppies. When they were puppies I decided it would be kindness and gentleness training only and keeping them to a schedule, including regular walks too. I am home with them all the time so if you are gone during the day it will be much harder. Anyway, I took them outside often and had them confined to a side porch not giving them access to the whole house right away. I took them to the same spot always and praised and petted them. They had regular feedings and no late night meals. If they made a mistake I did not make any comments or punishment, just ignored that it happened and immediately took them outside to "the spot". They are like real babies and they can forget. Giving a dog a bath will often make them need to go, the running water, etc. Always take them out after no matter if they went before the bath. After they were about 9 months old they were trained enough to be left in the rest of the house, still following the schedule every couple of hours. Now they are 1 1/2 yrs old, I can't remember the last time they had any accidents and they are a joy. Love always wins don't ya think? It did for my two fur babies and nicer dogs you will not find.

Crate training should work. Crate the dog overnight. Take the dog out first thing in the morning (pick him up if necessary and take him outside). Feed and water him, then take him out again. The key seems to be to set up a regular routine and the dog will eventually get with the program. There are lots of references on the internet that will help. (09/07/2006)

My English Mastiff, Crash, will be 6 months old Sept. 8th and weighs 110 lbs. Every morning he will go out and pee and try coming back inside. I know he'll poo in the house right afterward if I let him in. I redirect him from the door and walk out a ways with him and say "poopie for treat" (I use the food reward method, could that be the reason for his size?lol!). I hope the neighbors don't hear me or they probably think I'm crazy! After he does it (about 95% of the time) I say "Good Poopie!" and he comes in, goes to where the treats are, sits, gives me a "high five" and "takes nice". This is our routine. I am very consistent with it. I always praise him and give him treats and say "Good (whatever it is he did, Good Sit, Good Peepee, Good Wait, Good High Five, etc.)" In the beginning, I let him out every 30 minutes and started keeping a log of his food intake and potty schedule. I am home with him and let him out about every two hours and immediately after he wakes up from a nap. He sleeps through the night in his crate with no accidents. Now I am working on teaching him a way to alert me when he wants to go out. He hasn't caught on to my Great Dane's "dance" yet!
Have you had her stool sample examined by the vet? You should have her on some sort of heart worm preventative (I use Sentinel which controls fleas as well). These are not that expensive and control other types of worms (Crash had Roundworm when I got him at 6 wks of age). I pay only $24 a month for enough preventative for both of my "giant" dogs, it's worth the peace of mind! A MinPin would be much much cheaper.
We still have occasional accidents, but he's growing out of it pretty well. They are really like having babies aren't they?

Hi. I have a Shipoo and he'll be 3 months in just a few days. He actually has been doing GREAT in the potty training department. I tried the crate thing with my other puppy, as well as, the training pads and neither worked at all. The only method I have actually found to work with a shipoo is keeping the puppy in the bathroom with a blanket and toys while I am away. Then taking him out right away when I get home. I was actually told by my vet that keeping the puppy in the bathroom while you are away allows him more room to walk around and play. He is less likely to go in the house or in his cage out of spite, they are true accidents when he wets the bathroom floor. And then when I am home I leave the back door open onto my deck. He goes out by himself when he has to. I really like the bathroom training technique, though it's not talked about in training books! Hope that works for you like it has for me if you try it!

Crates are a SUPER method for house training a puppy if used properly. Several key points must be followed to make the crate a useful tool:
1) Size must fit the dog. If the crate is too big the dog will go to one corner and potty in it because he/she is able to get away from the mess. The dog should be able to stand up and lie down comfortably, but not wander around.
2) The dog must be on a schedule. Dog is in crate at night, comes out first thing to go potty. Then has breakfast, then back out to potty. If dog pottys outside then give dog 15MINS of playtime outside the crate... then back outside to go potty. If dog goes, then gets 15 mins more supervised time out of the crate, if doesn't potty then goes back int he crate. Continue the routine until dog routinely goes potty EVERYTIME taken outside.
3) YOU MUST GO OUT WITH THE DOG EVERYTIME! If you don't go out and take the dog to the potty spot, how will you know if they went? Also, praise the pup and give a tasty treat when they do go potty.
4)After eating, naps, play the pup will need to go pee and poop, so be sure they go when taken outside or back into the crate they go.
5) If an accident happens, chalk it up to the fact YOU didn't follow the schedule and whack yourself with a newspaper. If YOU follow the schedule and provide true supervision, you should be able to prevent 99% of accidents. Hitting and nose rubbing only teach the dog to go hide and find a place to potty, it doesn't house train.

There is a new innovative dog potty called The Pet Loo. It has perforated synthetic grass to create a urine drainage system. The urine then flows through a tray that is slightly slanted. The tray is slightly slanted to create a gravity force that pushes the urine through a small hole and into a small catchbucket. The catchbucket is then emptied by using the handle to remove it.

I have a 7 month old cockapoo puppy who is having some house training problems. All in all, he is pretty much potty trained, I have even taught him to ring a bell when he needs to go out (he learned that in a day) yet every once and a while, he will still have an accident in the house. I can't figure out what is going on, but it almost seems like he all the sudden realizes he can no longer hold it and then just squats on the floor because he doesn't have time to get to the door.
For example, today I took him outside and then gave him a bath. It couldn't have been more than 30 minutes to an hour after he had peed when he went bolting out of the bathroom and peed on the couch. So I took him outside again, he went potty and then 15 minutes later peed on the floor again.
Does this mean he has bladder control problems or could it just be that he is still young? It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is very frustrating. Can anyone help?
He does still seem young which could be part of the problem, but I would take him to, or at least call, the vet and ask. He could possibly have a bladder/kidney infection that would have to be taken care of asap. (09/08/2005)
By Maryeileen
Could be a urinary tract infection, or could be the beginning of a male pattern of "marking". Now that he's old enough, having him neutered may help. He should be neutered anyway due to pet overpopulation! (09/08/2005)
By Linda
He is very young and will have small accidents because his bladder is not as large to hold it for very long. Patience and rewards when he does do his business outside. Patience is the best key and repetition of going outside often. (09/09/2005)
By Sue
Thank you for all of the feedback. I did actually have him neutered about three and a half weeks ago. I know that they have a lot of accidents afterwards due to hormonal changes etc but thought it would only last about two weeks at most. Could that be part of the problem?
Thanks again!

text: By DAVID McHUGHFRANKFURT, Germany (AP) â¿¿ European Central Bank President Mario Draghi is likely to stress Thursday that the bank is still a long way from following the U.S. Federal Reserve and contemplating phasing out stimulus. Economists expect the ECB to leave its benchmark interest rate for the 17 European Union countries that use the euro unchanged at a record low of 0.5 percent when its 23-member council meets at its headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. Instead of cutting rates, the ECB is expected to try and sooth Europe's markets ruffled by the Fed's message that it could start scaling back its bond purchases this year â¿¿ and end them in 2014 â¿¿ if the stronger U.S. economy keeps growing. The Fed's bond-buying program â¿¿ known as quantitative easing â¿¿ and its low interest rates had been sending money flowing into stocks and bonds for months. So when the Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled its potential reversal, prices fell across many markets. In particular, indebted eurozone countries Spain and Italy briefly faced higher borrowing costs rise as the prices of their bonds dipped. Draghi and other members of the bank's leadership have been at pains to point out that they are on a different track from the Fed and any exit is "distant". "Unlike the Fed, however, it is clearly too early for the ECB to signal a shift in its monetary policy stance," Berenberg Bank economist Christian Schulz wrote in a research note. "ECB President Draghi will use the press conference to reassure banks and markets that there is a (unanimous?) ECB consensus" that rates will stay low and credit to banks easily available. Analysts and investors will also be scrutinizing Draghi's words at his post-meeting news conference for any sign of new stimulus. The eurozone could use a boost; its economy shrank 0.2 percent in the first quarter, the sixth straight decline in a row. Unemployment is at 12.2 percent.

With Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, cantos III and IV, Byron comes to the high point of his work and to clear and definite mastery of his art as a poet. Though he himself doubts his powers - he says his visions no longer swim so palpably before his eyes as once they did - his visions are far more palpable to us, expressed as they are with the full depth of his romantic and passionate feelings. He continues the device of the journey of the fictional Harold, but Harold is almost a ghost; the thin disguise and facade that separates him from the poet essentaily vanishes. Even the concept of his pilgrimage fades; Byron is not concerned nearly as much with places and people in this canto as he is with art and ideas. The place that means the most to him is no longer a human habitation, but the world of Nature, in which the inmost depths of his heart is relfected.
He writes, "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal." He spends this last portion of his pilgrimage in that special place, that realm of the spirit and the soul, where what matters is the highest achievements of art. Out of that place is his poem made.

The bomb attack, blamed by officials on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), caused heavy damage to outer walls of the police headquarters in the town of Cinar in the province of Diyarbakir, Al Jazeera's Kadir Konuksever, reporting from Diyarbakir, said. The fighters followed up the bombing with rocket attacks and gunfire, he said, adding that adjacent housing for families of police officers and a private house with civilians inside were also hit. Three police relatives and three civilians, including two children, who were in the house near the blast, were killed in the incident, he said. The PKK has been fighting against the Turkish state since 1984, initially for Kurdish independence, although it now presses for greater autonomy and rights for the country's largest ethnic minority. Turkish forces and PKK fighters have been engaged in intense clashes in the southeast of the country since a 2013 ceasefire collapsed in July and Turkey started an air campaign against the group. The conflict has left tens of thousands dead over the years.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

OK...I am having a complete brain lock here as I have done this several times.
I got a new PC at work (Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit). We have several just like it and they also use Microsoft Dynamic's Great Plains 2010. I had to do the 32 Bit ODBC workaround but when it comes for me to discover SQL instances on the network, it is always blank. (see screenshot attached).
If I manually type in the path (SQLSERVER\GP2010) and complete the process, I get:
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client Version 10.00.5500
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
Connection established
Verifying option settings
Disconnecting from server
YET...if I try to run a crystal report or basically, try to go into Dynamics 2010, it will not connect.
Any suggestions?

Just to confirm, you are adding in your server connection in the 32bit ODBC, c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe ?
Jun 20, 2012 at 2:19 UTC
yes the 32 bit version is located in the syswow64 folder, and must be used in conjunction with 32 bit progs.
I just went through this with worldship on a 64 bit pc, racked my brain for about 10 mins before getting it
Jun 21, 2012 at 9:51 UTC
Yes...I am using the 32 bit version...other Applications that want to discover SQL servers do...this still wont...however, I did get it to work when manually typing in the SQL server now.
Jun 21, 2012 at 10:03 UTC
Do you have network discovery set under your Domain options for Network and Sharing Center?
Jun 21, 2012 at 10:15 UTC
Yeah...it is on...
Jun 22, 2012 at 4:47 UTC
Is the 32bit dsn actually saved? I believe you need to run as Administrator, otherwise you can create and test the connection but not save it.
I have had a case where using the 32 bit version actually created a 64 bit dsn!! Yes, I did recheck it and make sure that it was the 32 bit being used. A couple of re-tries & reboots later it worked correctly. Go figure!

Corrugated specialist Saxon Packaging has invested in a Paperplast Dry 70 thermal film laminator to bring film lamination in-house.
The laminator, which cost nearly £140,000, was installed at the end of September.
Saxon general manager Andy Smith said: "Being able to produce any film-laminating requirements in-house gives us control over another process in the chain, in addition to sheet-to-sheet laminating, die-cutting and gluing.
"Paperplast has a great name in this market and we wanted great build quality and reliability so it was the obvious choice. This reduces our lead times and reduces our costs. It also gives us the opportunity to trial and experiment with new films and substrates to add to our expanding portfolio."
The laminator works by using high heats to meld the film, which is ordinarily between 22 and 27 microns in thickness, and substrate together.
Film lamination can be done in conjunction with a number of finishing techniques, including foiling, die-cutting, scoring, embossing and debossing.
Last month, Lowestoft, Suffolk-based Saxon Packaging, which was established in 1986, was acquired by Smurfit Kappa UK, for an undisclosed sum.
Last year, it brought laminating in-house with the purchase of a Lamina Blackline 1620. Both the Lamina and the Paperplast have made up part of a wider £1.5m 18-month investment programme.
It also runs a Bobst Vision-160 die-cutter, a Martin 718 Casemaker, a Kirby 3.2m-printer-slotter, a Jagenberg Diana 132 high-speed gluer and a Solema division assembler.
With 54 staff and sales of £6.8m, Saxon mainly produces work for the B2B market, but recently it has been producing more work for the drinks market, with a heavier focus on litho-printed packaging and trade laminating.
"Sales remain strong on the back of our best year and we look on target for our predictions this year with the added benefit of having significant capacity moving forward following our recent investments," added Smith.

Get Your Degree!
Find schools and get information on the program that's right for you.
Powered by Campus Explorer
Are you interested in a career in the health industry? There are many great benefits about working in this field, one of the chief ones being that it enjoys a robust job market that is projected to continue growing over the coming years. One career path that is very fruitful is dentistry, but you do not necessarily have to study for years and years to become a dentist in Hughes Springs TX.
To be a professional dental hygienist, someone must take an approved training session (there are approximately 300 sessions available today). Besides that, they have also take license exams which covers a written test administered by the American Dental Association's Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations. Next, they must pass a clinical exam which is administered by the state. In some occasions, they may also have to pass the legal aspect test before they start practicing.
Prior to enrolling, you should check out that the course is one that is accredited by the American Dental Association. These courses have been approved based on the skills and knowledge taught, to qualify you to work within a dental surgery. During the course you will be taught all the theory and practical skills that are needed in order to perform all the duties required of you in this role.
How to Become a Dental Hygienist in Hughes Springs TX 75656
Upon completing a dental hygiene accredited training program in Hughes Springs TX you are required to pass written and clinical examinations to qualify for licensure. A hygienist is expected to be licensed in the chosen state in which he or she intends to practice. The majority of state governments mandate passing a National Board Dental Hygiene Examination (NBDHE) together with local and state exams. Each state provides a specific group of policies for hygienists and this will establish your daily responsibilities.
Contact your local dentist offices before you spend time and money in training for a new career to see if you can work with them for a short amount of time. You want to be sure that this career is right for you.
Another way that they can help in the career choice is by giving a person the education that they need to have. The education that an individual is going to in Hughes Springs TX could easily lead to them getting a job easier. Then an individual will not have to worry about missing out on a job because they do not have the proper level of education.
Tips to Earn a Dental Hygienist Certification in Hughes Springs TX 75656
The internship is also a chance to really see if a student wants to become a dental hygienist. They can really find out if they can manipulate the small tools. Working with real patients gives a person the chance to see if they really want to deal with dental patients on a daily basis. It is important to really know that you want to be in the profession before you go any further.
When you are ready to look for a good dental hygienist job, remember that you will frequently only be required to work part time for a dental office. Some hygienists will solve this problem by working only a few days a week or by splitting their time between a few different agencies. One of the perks of the job is definitely having a schedule that you can manipulate as you please and more time spent out of the office than in it if that is what you want to do.
There is a difference between a Dental Assistant and a Dental Hygienist. The assistant manages the front of the office; answering phones, verifying insurance coverage, scheduling appointments, and more. A hygienist is responsible for more patient care. An assistant will not go to college in Hughes Springs TX as long of a time nor will the education be as thorough as it is for a Dental Hygienist.
Most of these schools have admission requirements outlining any academic prerequisites you will need to meet before expecting to begin the studies. These include basic as well as advanced science classes at the high school or undergraduate collegiate level. Completion of these threshold classes will enhance your dental hygienist education and make it easier to complete the higher-level classes.

Sail Away, Sail Away
Lion's Blood —
Steven Barnes
Bilalistan, book 1
In Steven Barnes' 2002 novel Lion's Blood, little Aiden O'Dere is rescued from a dismal life in a hidden Irish village when bold Viking entrepreneurs provide Aiden and those members of his village who survive the negotiation process (including his mother and his sister, but not his father) with free transportation to Bilalistan1, far across the ocean. There, the kindly Muslims provide the Irish with room and board, in exchange for such duties as their new masters deem appropriate.
Aiden proves inexplicably ungrateful, even though his new owner, the Wakil Abu Ali, is notoriously easy-going towards his property. Perhaps it's the hard work, the beatings, the short lives many slaves face, the way slave women are used as sexual playthings, or simple white intransigence, but something about his new life does not sit entirely well with Aiden. There does not seem to be much that he can do about his situation.
Well, except
Two from Delany
The Ballad of Beta-2 and Empire Star — Samuel R. Delany
The Ballad of Beta-2 and Empire Star is a 1976 omnibus of Samuel R. Delany's 1965 novel The Ballad of Beta-2 and his 1966 novel Empire Star . It's not quite my first pick for a Delany review for my Because My Tears are Delicious to You series (more on that later), but it is as close as I can come with my current library.
These are both very early Delany novels. Expectations based on later works like Dhalgren, Triton, or Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders may well be misleading.
These two books are also very, very short. Almost novellas. Brevity does not mean simplicity.
Delight and Malice
Night's Master —
Tanith Lee
Tales of the Flat Earth, book 1
1978's Night's Master, by Tanith Lee, is volume one of the Tales of the Flat Earth. Set in the days when "the Earth was flat and floated on the ocean of chaos," this is less a novel than a collection of three two-part novellas connected by a recurring character, the eponymous Night's Master, the great and powerful demon prince Azhrarn.
Azhrarn loves beauty almost as much as he revels in malice.
A Rising Tide
Arctic Rising — Tobias Buckell
Tobias Buckell's 2012 novel Arctic Rising takes us to a global-warming future in which the arctic is increasingly clear of unsightly ice … as well as the animals that used to live there. Open seas mean access to all the resources of the north; ports are springing up all around the Arctic Ocean. Prosperity abounds in Canada and other, less important, nations!
But someone always has to be a spoilsport. Possibly because Canada's benefit is the bane of most of the rest of the world, which must cope with rising sea levels and increasingly savage storms.
Authors should not suffer for the poor decisions of the marketing department
Range of Ghosts —
Elizabeth Bear
The Eternal Sky, book 1
2012's Range of Ghosts is the first novel in Elizabeth Bear's Eternal Sky series, which currently includes three linked novels and five shorter works. Or so I see on consulting the ISFBD, because if the hardcover I read has any hint that this is part of a series, I overlooked it. I will return to this point later.
Life as a relative of the Great Khan isn't all beer and skittles and sacking the defenseless cities of the great plains. Sometimes it involves massive civil wars. The death of a Khan usually triggers a squabble over the Khanate. Which of the rivals, Qulan or Qori Buqa, will gain power? Or will the war end with the Khaganate in ruins? Choosing which faction to join is a matter of life and death and neutrality is not an option.
Temur chose poorly, which is why when we meet him he is the lone survivor of a slain army. He has been left for dead amidst the heaped bodies of his close relatives.
From India
It Happened Tomorrow — Bal Phondke
The good news about having read 1993's It Happened Tomorrow is that I can now put a push-pin into India on a map of nations whose science fiction I have reviewed on James Nicoll Reviews.
On the minus side, it was not a particularly good book.
A Small Bug in the System
Children of Time — Adrian Tchaikovsky
Anyone who has read Adrian Tchaikovsky's ten-part Shadows of the Apt series, with its insect-themed kinden (clans) might well think that Tchaikovsky is fond of bugs. Unlike so many of the rest of us. Remember the neighbourhood kids warning you about earwigs? Those horrifying creepy crawlies that might even now be laying their eggs in your ear while you are distracted reading this text?
You don't know the half of it. But you will, once you read 2015's Children of Time.
Centuries from now, the never-modest Doctor Kern thinks of the nameless world twenty light-years from Earth as "Kern's World"; she may not have terraformed the world, but she certainly plans to populate it with a species of her creation; monkeys infected with a nanovirus designed to push the primates towards intelligence.
Everything goes exactly to plan … except that there's a catastrophic, civilization-levelling war back on Earth. All the monkeys are killed before they can reach Kern's World. However, the nanovirus reaches the surface. There, it finds alternate hosts on whom to inflict the Exaltation of Beasts.
Spiders …
Christ, what an imagination I've got
Stand on Zanzibar — John Brunner
1968's Stand on Zanzibar is the first of a thematically connected series of dystopian novels, each wrestling with a different significant issue of the day (the day being the 1960s and 1970s). It is arguably John Brunner's finest work.
Brunner takes us to a 2010 where Earth is home to so many people—seven billion!—that if we all stood shoulder to shoulder in one location, we would cover the island of Zanzibar. There's no sign of a Malthusian collapse on the horizon, but the unthinkable overcrowding has had consequences, ranging from draconian eugenic laws to outbreaks of violence. Conventional sexual mores have broken down and society has become saturated with frivolous, pandering, Murdochian mass media.
Two roommates, Donald Hogan and Norman House, are drawn into seemingly unrelated events on the opposite sides of the Earth.
Trash Talk
Planetes — Makoto Yakimura, Gorō Taniguchi, Ichirō Ōkouchi
I love quasi-plausible SF set in our solar system, especially SF that tries to be at least semi-plausible. For a long time, Anglospheric SF had little interest in that particular literary niche. I was forced to look abroad. Which eventually resulted in my exposure to the 2003–2004 26-episode anime series Planetes, adapted by Sunrise from Makoto Yakimura's manga of the same name.
Ah, the bright and shiny world of the 2070s! Space travel is, if not routine, at least common; oil has been replaced by lunar helium three 1, thus ensuring the continuation of energy-intensive civilization. Prosperity abounds!
For the people working for Technora's Half Section , prosperity is unevenly distributed. Space is just where they happen to work. The Half Section, more correctly called the Space Debris Section, are the garbagemen (and women) of SPAAACE!
for there was still life in it, waiting, stored like seed.
Drinking Sapphire Wine —
Tanith Lee
Biting the Sun, book 2
Tanith Lee's 1977 Drinking Sapphire Wine is a sequel to 1976's Don't Bite the Sun1.
Dragged back to utopian four-BEE following the death of her pet and her unborn child, the nameless narrator chafes against a society which, they now realize, is much too limited. Life in four-BEE is pleasant and utterly meaningless; the narrator and other adolescents, the Jangs, are expected to do nothing but enjoy themselves … but even the adults (known only as older persons ) play no really useful roles. Any job worth doing is done by robots and quasi-robots because they can be trusted to do important jobs correctly.
Even rebellion is meaningless in four-BEE. The quasi-robots who keep the city running simply fix any damage with a long suffering sigh. Or so everyone thought. And then … one of the Jangs, Zirk, outraged over a comparatively trivial disagreement, challenges the narrator to a duel. The duel leads to an interesting discovery. There is a crime the quasi-robot-run Committee will not forgive:
Losing Face
Persona — Genevieve Valentine
2015's Persona is Genevieve Valentine's third novel.
Suyana Sapaki is one of the International Assembly's Faces, youthful delegates whose demanding jobs offer very little in the way of power or job security. Even popular Faces can fall from grace overnight and Suyana is nothing like popular; not only is she herself less than personable, but the United Amazonian Rainforest Confederation itself is something of an international pariah.
Summoned to meet with the American Face and his handlers to negotiate the terms under which the two Faces will feign a relationship—an arrangement that Suyana regards as indistinguishable from state-sanctioned prostitution—she gets a hint that someone believes her utility has dropped below zero. That hint comes in the form of several bullet wounds, none fatal.
Missionary astray
The Accidental Terrorist — William Shunn
I've read a lot of SF, but there's a heck of a lot of it. More than I could read in my lifetime. That's why this is the first book by William Shunn I've ever read, even though he has been publishing for decades and has been nominated for both the Hugo and Nebula1. But … this book is not SF; it is autobiography.
Shunn has done a lot of interesting things. He was part of the team that wrote the venerable word-processing program, Wordperfect, which many of us still feel was better than the Word that replaced it as the business standard. He was also something of a celebrity in Canada in the mid-1980s.
William Shunn was the earnest young Mormon missionary whose bomb threat to Flight 789 made newspaper headlines all across Canada.
Where Angels Rule
The House of Shattered Wings —
Aliette de Bodard
Dominion of the Fallen, book 1
2015's The House of Shattered Wings is the first novel in Aliette de Bodard's Dominion of the Fallen setting1. Dominion of the Fallen features a world much like our own, so much like ours as to have its own Paris, City of Lights. This secondary world has been a refuge for Fallen angels for at least the last eight hundred years. Powerful and avaricious, the Fallen easily dominate the humans around them. They have transformed France into a paramount power ruled over by the angel-led Great Houses of Paris.
In 1914, the Great Houses turned on each other, transforming Paris from one of the world's wonders into one of its great horrors. At the time in which this novel is set, the Great Houses War is long over, but Paris remains a post-apocalyptic desolation. Some Houses still stand, but they are much reduced from their glory days.
Thus far, House Silverspires has been one of the lucky ones. It survived the War. It survived the loss of its founder, Morningstar. It survived the unending jockeying for position between the surviving Houses. Whether House Silverspires can survive what is to come is entirely unclear.
After War's End
An Inheritance of Ashes — Leah Bobet
Leah Bobet's 2015 An Inheritance of Ashes is her second novel. The first was 2012's1 Above.
The war against the Wicked God is over; the dread lord and its army of Twisted Things were defeated by a single knife thrust from John Balsam's blade. How exactly Balsam killed a god by stabbing it is unclear. Balsam vanished in the chaos that followed the Wicked God's death and no one else knows what happened.
Indeed, all too few of the men who marched south from the lakelands to fight the Wicked God have returned. Young Hallie and pregnant Marthe wait for Marthe's husband Thom to return, while doing their best to keep Roadstead Farm functioning. Shell-shocked veterans trickle north, but none of them are Thom. One wandering veteran, Heron, stays, trading his labour for room and board over the winter. Still, even with his help, the sisters may not be able to keep the farm … for reasons to be explained later.
But the appearance of a Twisted Thing at a window hints that the war might not be as over as people think.
The Big Picture
The Hugo Winners, Volumes One and Two — Isaac Asimov
This week's Because My Tears are Delicious to You review will cover 1972's The Hugo Winners, Volume One and Two . For one trivial reason (the book is shelved just at eye height in my path from office to front door) and one literary reason (award winning fiction has been on my mind of late). Just how good—or bad—were the older Hugo winners?
This volume combined two earlier collections, 1961's The Hugo Winners (later re-titled The Hugo Winners, Volume One ) and 1971's The Hugo Winners, Volume Two . The whole volume thus includes the Hugo winning novellas and short stories of the 1950s and 1960s .
Incidentally, my copy is the Science Fiction Book Club edition. Older fen will remember that edition from the insert ads that used to grace SF paperbacks 1. What wonders that insert promised! And what structural damage it inflicted on the book binding!
In addition to enjoying many of the stories, I found the book a fascinating testament to the evolution of science fiction, 1950–1970.
The One Hundred
Robot Universe: Legendary Automatons and Androids from the Ancient World to the Distant Future — Ana Matronic
Ana Matronic really really really likes robots. Perhaps her name should have been something of a clue.
She is perhaps best known as the female lead singer of the Scissor Sisters. Matronic is also the author of 2015's Robot Universe: Legendary Automatons and Androids from the Ancient World to the Distant Future. Which is (I am sure this will astound you) a book about robots.
This 225 page hardcover is a coffee table book, a glossy paged, heavily illustrated guide to the hundred most epic robots and automatons of fiction and history.
Light and Dark
Volkhavaar — Tanith Lee
1977's Volkhavaar is probably counted as one of Tanith Lee's minor works, but I suspect it's one that a lot readers found endearing back in the Disco Era.
Life for Shaina the slave girl, kidnapped when she was very young, is a series of humiliations and beatings at the hands of her owners. Two events will change her dismal lot forever: a seemingly chance meeting with Barbayat, the Grey Lady from Cold Crag, and the appearance of Kernik, the Clever Showman and his troupe, in particular the exceedingly handsome Dasyel. Smitten with Dasyel, the young slave agrees to Barbayat's terms: she will allow the ancient witch to feed on her blood in exchange for wisdom. Wisdom and power that can unite Shaina and Dasyel.
What Shaina does not know is that Kernik the Showman is merely the latest name of the grand villain Volkhavaar, servant of a dark and forgotten god. Dasyel, like all the players, is Volkhavaar's thrall. What Volkhavaar has he does not willingly surrender.
I am baffled
Lightless — C.A. Higgins
I picked up C. A. Higgins' 2015 debut novel, Lightless, because 1) it got a glowing review from io9's Andrew Liptak and 2) it got a starred review from Kirkus. Having read it, I am left wondering what Liptak and Kirkus saw in this book that I did not.
In the grim boot-stamping-on-a-human-face-forever world of tomorrow, the Solar System is ruled over by the merciless System, an authoritarian regime slightly less lovable than the Qin Dynasty Legalists. Deviation, rebelliousness, and criminality are ruthlessly punished. The entire Solar System is one big panopticon state.
Or that's the theory. In practice, recording everything everyone does not mean that the System has the means to sift through all the information they are collecting. Dependence on computer surveillance systems means that those systems are vulnerable to people who know how to manipulate them. The System has abundant blind spots; both criminals and terrorists thrive.
Including people like Leontios Ivanov and Matthew Gale, the two space pirates who have just covertly boarded the experimental space craft Anake.
A forgotten Canadian classic
The Garden — Jasper MacDonald King
Canadian author Jasper MacDonald King was, in his day, a bestselling author of children's fantasy. In recent years, certain "politically correct" critics have chosen to ignore his delightful fiction and focus on aspects of his life that were admittedly regrettable—the letter to his distant cousin the Prime Minister urging that the St Louis be turned away, his participation in the Orange Order's annual "flogging Catholics through the streets" celebration (the use of an actual Catholic was discontinued in 1978, I might point out) and his status as the last person to be hanged in Canada (following the discoveries in his garden and a sensational 1952 trial )—but surely these are mere distractions from the undeniable truth that he wrote some jolly good books. Whatever his life and opinions may have been, surely his fiction can be enjoyed for what it is.
Of all King's books, none is more beloved than 1938's The Garden.
A Remembrance Day Review
The Buried Giant — Kazuo Ishiguro
Ah, Kazuo Ishiguro's 2015 novel The Buried Giant: true literature or merely fantasy? The author seems worried that readers might be misled by the setting (medieval kingdom, bandits, ogres, dragons, and magic) and mistakenly believe that this is a fantasy novel. Such are the travails of a literary author.
Post-Roman Britain: the Empire has receded and a seemingly endless wave of Saxons has poured in, pushing the Britons back across the island. These tumultuous events hold little relevance for elderly couple Axl and Beatrice, who are a lot more concerned by the fact that their community no longer trusts them with candles, lest the pair burn their home down.
Vexed, Axl and Beatrice set out to find their son, who they are pretty sure lives in a village near by, on the other side of a mist-filled landscape populated by bandits, ogres, and oh yes, the dragon.
A Belated Halloween Offering
The Haunting of Hill House — Shirley Jackson
I don't know what's more embarrassing: that it took me until 2015 to read Shirley Jackson's 1959 classic The Haunting of Hill House or that it took me until 2015 for me to read my first Shirley Jackson story 1. Or that I actually saw the movie adaptation of this novel before I read the book. At least it was the 1963 movie—the good one—and not the trainwreck from a few years ago.
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
But now Hill House is going to have guests.
A Weird Western
Vermilion; the Adventures of Lou Merriweather, Psychopomp — Molly Tanzer
2015's Vermilion; the Adventures of Lou Merriweather, Psychopomp is Molly Tanzer's debut novel. It's an example of something I call Weird Westerns , a cousin to works like Findley's Tex Arcana and Sumner's Devil's Tower books.
Daughter of a white psychopomp and a Chinese apothecary, Elouise "Lou" Merriweather has taken up her father's calling, sending the restless dead to the next world. It's a dangerous calling, but as a person of mixed race (not to mention a woman who prefers men's clothing) in the exuberantly bigoted world that is 19 th century America, it's not as if Lou has a lot of career options open to her.
Now Lou is adding a new occupation to her career portfolio: consulting detective. Chinatown's young men have been heading into the interior of Colorado, enticed by a dubious job offer. None have returned. The authorities could not care less what happens to Chinese-Americans, so it falls to Lou to accept a commission from her estranged mother and investigate the case of the disappearing men.
What she finds is
Like a lighthouse keeper's beam
Hope — John Woloschuk, Dee Long, Terry Draper
I have no idea how I stumbled across progressive rock band Klaatu—nor did I have any idea that aforesaid stumbling might have been the result of the grim jackboot of socialism stamping on the ears of Canadian radio listeners!
Although certain wild-eyed fans speculated that the band was actually the Beatles, returned under a new name, in fact they were a trio of Canadians: John Woloschuk, Dee Long, and Terry Draper.
Unsurprisingly, given that their band name comes from the name of Michael Rennie's alien ambassador in the film The Day the Earth Stood Still (which in turn was based on Harry Bates' short story "Farewell to the Master"), science fiction themes are prominently featured in their oeuvre . Take, for example, their Juno-Award-winning concept album Hope.
It's So Fluffy!
Earthrise —
M. C. A. Hogarth
Her Instruments, book 1
2013's Earthrise is the first novel in the Her Instruments series, by the prolific M.C.A. Hogarth. It's also the first Hogarth novel I have ever read. I picked it up for two reasons: it was free and I had heard others talk about it in a way that made me think the book might scratch my Traveller itch. Traveller, the old-time Dumarest meets the Solar Queen rpg that featured rag-tag crews making a slender living moving goods from system to system in beat-up starships.
As it turned out, there are indeed some Traveller-like elements in the book, but I was even more strongly reminded of an entirely different, considerably less well-known rpg. More on that later.
Reese Edding and the rest of her rag-tag crew—twins Sasha and Irvine, Bryer, Kis'eh't, and Allacazam— do make a slender living moving good from system to system in the beat-up starship TMS Earthrise. The ship had a brush with insolvency before but was saved by a large gift from a mysterious benefactor. Well, not to much gift as a payment for a service to be named later.
Now that marker has come due.
This is James' Sad Face
The Storm Lord —
Tanith Lee
Wars of Vis, book 1
1976's The Storm Lord is the first volume in Tanith Lee's The Wars of Vis trilogy. It establishes the setting: oppressed Lowlanders who face endless racial persecution at the hands of the violent and sexually voracious Vis majority.
Dragged away from her people to sate King Rehdon's lusts, priestess Ashne'e leaves her mark on history in two ways; first, her deadly Lowland sex magic leaves Rhedon a corpse the first time he rapes her. Second, that single night is enough to leave Ashne'e pregnant with Rhedon's youngest son, a boy who by the laws of the great city of Dorthar is entitled to its throne!
If he can stay alive long enough to claim his rightful place.
Warning: by the standards of the 1970s, which were kind of rapey, this is super-duper rapey.
The Case of the Libelous Corpse
The Silkworm —
Robert Galbraith
Cormoran Strike, book 2
2014's The Silkworm , the second mystery in Robert Galbraith's Cormoran Strike series, proved to me that sometimes having a legendarily lousy memory can be an asset. Ditto for not looking at author bios immediately.
Catapulted from poverty to fame and fortune by the events of the first book, The Cuckoo's Calling , Strike discovers that well-to-do clients can often be entitled prats. Annoyed with his latest jerk client, Strike fires the man to take a considerably less remunerative case: locating errant author Owen Quine for Quine's wife, Leonora Quinn
The question very quickly evolves from "where has Owen got off to this time?" to "Why would anyone want Owen back?" Owen appears to be a collection of character flaws wrapped around more character flaws. A man-child utterly focused on his own needs and desires, an author of little talent and enormous spite, Owen revels in being offensive and grating. He's certainly not faithful to his wife. To know Owen is to hate him.
When Owen turns up in a derelict building, disemboweled and very, very dead, the problem is not, therefore, working out who wanted him dead, but narrowing the vast crowd of suspects down to only one.
Runaway Robot
vN —
Madeline Ashby
Machine Dynasty, book 1
I missed Madeline Ashby's 2012 debut novel, vN, when it was first released. Back then, other people picked what I read and I didn't have enough slack in my schedule to fit in books just because I wanted to read them. Now I that I have the luxury of time again, I intend to use it.
Amy Peterson is a perfect little girl, even better than the organic variety. Raised by her doting organic father and his artificial wife, Amy's physical parameters are constrained by diet. As for her software—von Neumann robots like Amy are programmed to comply with human demands. She will even auto-destruct if a human suffers harm in her vicinity.
Well, she should. Amy has a tiny flaw in her programming.
"Some races are disciplined. Is fact." Tekla said. "Japanese are more disciplined than …Italians."
Seveneves — Neal Stephenson
My former editor Andrew Wheeler used to delight in sending me books he knew would cause me great pain. He would have, I suspect, been smiling very cheerfully had he had the opportunity to send me Neal Stephenson's sprawling Seveneves, because it combines Stephenson's traditional weaknesses—intrusive infodumps, shaky plotting, resolutions that feel less like endings than the moment the author got bored typing—with a host of new ones, like an almost Jack McDevittesque grasp of deep time.
One day, the Moon explodes into seven large fragments and a host of tiny ones. Maybe it was aliens. Maybe it was a passing primordial black hole. Maybe it was an author who couldn't be bothered to come up with a plausible scenario. The important thing is that scientists soon realized that a process analogous to Kessler Syndrome would turn a handful of large fragments into a vast cloud of smaller pieces. Enough of these fragments would impact the Earth to scour the planet clean of all life.
The good news is that this will not happen immediately (or this would have been a very short novel instead of the behemoth that it is). The bad news is that it will happen all too soon, in two years or so. Everyone on Earth is doomed.
Everyone on Earth. Everyone off Earth, on the other hand …
As if Larry Niven had been mugged by Olaf Stapledon and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The Palace of Eternity — Bob Shaw
Bob Shaw's 1969 novel The Palace of Eternity is almost a mirror image of this week's Tanith Lee: it starts off looking like the hardest of hard SF, then heads off into territory more often associated with fantasy.
Sickened by his experiences in the great war between humanity and the alien Pythsyccans, retired soldier Mack Travener settles on the planet Mnemosyne. Conventional interstellar craft cannot approach the planet, which is surrounded by a shell of fragments left by two shattered moons. Mnemosyne seems doomed to remain an eternal backwater. Inexplicably, despite its rustic nature, the planet is a hotbed of creativity, particularly artistic creativity.
Mack's attempt to reinvent himself as a civilian mechanic on a planet of peaceful artists is short-lived.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Vanessa. I just started modeling this year and would love to some serious feedback and critiques. I have noticed that each time I photograph there is significant improvement. But I would like to push that to the next level. My goal is to model for fitness and yoga magazines/journals, editorial spreads, glamour (hair/makeup), print ads and stock photography and commercials. I am very serious about the industry and am working hard to pursue this.
In the mean time, I wish to build my portfolio and choose the best images. I have many more images than what is here that are diverse in my areas of interest. What are some strong shots and which ones are not as strong? ALSO, how many photos do you usually bring to an agent to become represented? I am interested in becoming agency represented soon.
Thank you everyone in advance!

Over all your images lack the pop, sizzle, crack of what I would expect to see in a models portfolio.
One of your stronger images but it has room for improvement
Looking at the eyes, do they look as sharp as they should be
Was too wide a lens used that makes the nose appear larger then life
Since this is for a models portfolio, a vertical orientation for a portrait in the norm
Hair not perfectly under control, fly always and bending at shoulders, should be a gentle cascade
Great smile and beautiful brown eyes
The bright sky is a distraction, and really does not need to be in photo, could start top of photo at the sand
Like the fact you are showing your athletic ability
Great smile again

Victorian Majolica was produced from 1851 to around 1900, starting in Europe and then moving to America. Majolica is a lead or tin glazed earthenware which is first fired to the biscuit stage. Then it is decorated with brightly colored metallic glazes and fired again. This gives the piece the brilliance which is characteristic of majolica.
This lovely and colorful plate, circa 1880, has a central design is a branch of wild berries, blossoms and foliage in shades of brown, pink and green. The background is a basket-weave design in rich brown with the reverse a spatter design of variegated browns.
The plate measures 9" across and is unmarked as to maker. The condition is very good with no cracks, chips or repairs; one small 3/16" glaze flake on the edge and some minor age related scuffs which is common with old majolica pieces. Beautiful rich colors and great design

Olympics Betting: Will the USA dominate basketball?
The United States will start as massive favourites to strike gold in the men's and women's basketball tournaments at the Olympics. But is there any stopping Uncle Sam's finest?
Chances are that the USA men's team will repeat their victory of Beijing 2008, with NBA stars such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant lighting up London. They're at a narrow 1.10 to take the title and 1.06 to win Group A of the preliminary round.
But don't think gold is a guarantee. By the Americans' own admission, they have flaws in their armour - Spain will be the team they fear most. Unlike their rivals, the reigning European champions are at full strength and have already set out their ambition to top the podium. It's worth a flutter on Los Rojos at 7.00 – or even any team but the USA at 6.50.
Beyond that, France – led by Tony Parker - are 3.50 for a medal with Lithuania at a very tempting 5.25. Remembering, however, that the Spaniards have traditionally been slow starters, have a look at Russia to win Group B at 3.75.
In terms of tournament progress, the format of just eliminating just two teams in the opening round out of each six-team group could make for some dramatic clashes. Nigeria and Tunisia are expected to be also-rans, while China (1.15) and Great Britain (2.40) can be tipped for early exits.
The USA are capable of putting points up like no other team. There's a good offer at 4.50 for them to go over 130 points in any match during the tournament. They're also 1000.0 to go out in the first round. Give that one a miss.
In the women's tournament, the United States is an even more prohibitive gold medal favourite at 1.07. It's simply impossible to see them faltering in their quest for a fifth successive Olympic title, given the quality of their line-up.
Behind that, the battle for places is altogether more intriguing. Australia, silver medallists in the last three Games, are at 1.20 but they're not the side they once were. While Russia, also at 1.20, will miss the injured Maria Stepanova.
Hence there may be some surprises on the cards. Turkey are a generous 10.00 to take any medal while Great Britain, who have had some great results in recent weeks, are great value at 25.00 to land on the podium. In the betting for Any Team but the USA, back the Turks at 20.00. Or plump instead for GB at 20.00 to finish in the top two in Group B.
Bet of the Games: Back Spain for men's gold at 7.00 or take Great Britain women for 1-2 in Group A at 20.00.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Zordon, Nov 10, 2013.
(you just got trolled by quantity over quality.)
I think Garrett is the worst. Look at the talent campo had and the talent Garrett has.
Rest assured, Jerry and Stephen will fix this.
i agree. campo at least had been coaching for 30 yrs before he got the gig. garrett, 5 yrs. i'm sure other coaches real love beating garrett. they see him as a product of corporate politics and favoritism...he didn't do the dirty work like most of these head coaches had to do for 2 decades before they are given an opportunity.
In no way am I defending Garrett.
Just because a coach puts in time, does not mean he can be a HC. Look at Marinelli, good position coach, but sucked at being a HC, and Phillips, good DC but not a good HC. Dallas needs a HC who has had success in the NFL before.
garret is done. terrible oc. terrible hc.
No argument if you reverse the order. Plus, Campo was at least loveable. When has Garrett ever ridden a whale on HBO?
is he fired yet?
Can we start the BRING CAMPO BACK campaign yet?
I think he the end of Garrett is near. Although, I don't see any way they get rid of him before the end of the year.
I really wanted to like Garrett but think it is best for both parties if he moves on. I do think there is a chance he eventually gets another gig in a stable organization where he can just be the head coach and find success. My hope for Garrett was he would be a young Shannahan type offensive Guru, but that has not been the case. With our crazy owner/GM and son, I think that type of guru is needed to help mask the areas the front office neglects or is unable to fill. Unfortunately, Garrett has proven not be very innovative. Not having a solid offensive line certainly limits him though.
So, I expect Garrett to be gone next year. Maybe we will have yet another defensive philosophy and I am sure some fans will celebrate these type of changes. Our Owner tends to change his mind on these things frequently. I just don't see bringing in another coach will matter much, unless the brain trust can uncover an all timer (and my confidence in that is between 0 and zilch). My biggest fear is Jerry looks for a guy like Mike Zimmer (classic number 2, not number 1 imo). And the obvious biggest concern for me is what happens when they need to replace Romo in the next 2-3 years. Does anyone thinks this front office can find the next stud QB, unless it falls in their lap? You think this team has been frustrating to watch now, just wait until they don't have a very good QB in place. Romo has certainly made his mistakes, but just wait until he is gone and this front office tries to find his replacement. The rest of the NFC East is a mess, but if I was a fan one of the other three teams in the East, I would be thrilled with the direction of the Cowboys for the future.
Yes, and Sparano has TO motioning and running crossing routes like we are cry out for Dez right now. There is no coincidence, motion and creativity were part of Sparano's regime in Dallas, not related to JG's stale implementation of this mess.
It's all been a waste.He was brought in here in 2007 to be the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry hired Wade because Garrett wasn't ready. He was the head coach in waiting and was in charge of the offense. I think we just wasted a lot of our core players years on an experiment that has failed. Garrett still isn't ready. Jerry should have hired a proven head coach after Parcells quit. A lot of wasted opportunities these last few years.
I think he's probably as good as Chan Gaily if not better. Nobody is close to Campo. And we've had a lot of good happen with Garrett. Just a complete disreguard for defensive commitment with him.
We need to stop talking up the talent here, we're starting guys off the streets on Sundays
Did Campo have a Romo or Dez caliber talent on his offense? We need to stop talking up the injuries and hold this clown accountable
Doesn't matter how good 2 or 3 of your top players are when the majority of your roster is well below NFL standards
I'm not surprised at all by sundays game. I told you it was going to happen, we are the worst coached team in NFL history.
Garrett is not as good as Chan Gailey. Chan won the NFC east in his first year and had the Cowboys in the playoffs twice. Garrett can not say that.
Gaily had Aikman and Emmitt and Irvin. Romo may be as good as Aikman. Nobody else on the roster compares to the rest of the talent on that offense or defense. And Gaily basically did nothing with it. We haven't had the talent the on the lines and defense for years and continue to neglect them.
Chan got fired after two straight mediocre records but with playoff appearances. Why? The Cowboys don't accept mediocrity. Garrett has 2 straight mediocre seasons with no playoff appearances and trending toward a 3rd but he's not fired. This time around were told we just have to trust the process. See the decline in standards?

I've been dating a guy I really like for a couple of months now. We live in different cities, so we see each other on the weekends.
He told me from the start that it usually takes him time to let someone in and he wants to go slowly. We became intimate pretty soon, and when we're in private he's very cuddly and sweet, but when we're in public he never holds my hand while we walk, and rarely kisses me. He also told me that he's not really into daily text chatting, and it's in fact mostly me starting conversations (to which he answers btw).
Considering all these things, and considering that this weekend we were both free and when I asked him if he wanted to do something he said that he just wanted a day of relax at home, I concluded that he's not that interested after all, so I told him that it would probably be better if we stopped seeing each other because I didn't want to get hurt. He then said that he told me that he needs time, mostly because girls tend to do exactly what I did: suddenly wanting to stop dating. He also said some nice things about me and told me that it's not usual for him to say such things about someone.
After that I explained myself better and told him that I don't want to stop seeing him, but I was just trying to protect me. He then asked me if it was just me ovethinking and I said yes, and I admitted that need to work on it. He didn't reply to that.
So now my question is: what should I do now? Should I stay silent and wait for him to say something? Was it really me overthinking or he's not that into me after all? Did I lose him for good now or there's still a chance?
I thought that he wasn't that into me so I stepped back, but he reacted unexpectedly. Have I scared him away for good now?

Just give him time. With your schedules and only seeing each other on weekends he would rarely get a day to himself. We all need those days for our own time. I am sure he will come around, just give him the space he needs.00|00|0

ESSEX had just one case of measles in April.
That brings to three the number of incidences of the illness since January.
New figures released by Anglia and Essex Public Health England Centre show Southend and Thurrock have had no cases this year.
Last year, Essex had seven in total,Thurrock two and Southend recorded none.
A national catch-up programme to increase MMR vaccination uptake in children and teenagers has so far resulted in more than 95 per cent of GP practices across England ordering extra doses of the vaccine.
It follows an outbreak of the illness in south Wales.
Dr Gina Radford, centre director, Public Health England Anglia and Essex, said: "Our ambition is to vaccinate 95 per cent of ten to 16- year-olds in time for the next school year.
"Local public health teams have been working hard to encourage uptake in children and teenagers across Essex.
"The message to parents who think their child may not be fully immunised is to check today and book an appointment with your GP."

Between 1997 and 1999, the DVD started to arrive on the scene as a movie delivery medium. This spelled the beginning of the end for the trusted VHS cassette that we had all grown to love and, um, hate.
Do you remember renting one of these and hoping that the previous person had re-winded it before bringing it back to the store? Remember turning the two white things with your fingers? Did you ever have to open up the top and blow on the film because the quality of the video was screwed up?
Videocassette recorders (VCRS) and cassettes appeared on the market back in the late 70s. They were released in Japan in 1976, America in 1977 and Europe in 1978. Their decline started in the late 90s, as the DVD took over and stores stopped stocking them. By the mid-2000s, Hollywood studios had stopped offering their movies in VHS format, with the last one being the 2005 film "A History of Violence".

I think one question that really needs to be asked of Senator Kerry is:
"Do you think energy should be more expensive than it is or less expensive than it is?"
During the 2000 debates and other times, the Democrat candidates have argued that energy should cost MORE than it does now. It is often pointed out that the average European spends much more for a gallon of gas than the average American, and allegedly this causes them to use resources more wisely.
Previous criticism of Bush is that he went to Iraq "for the oil", which is to say, to make it CHEAPER. In fact, Teresa just said this recently. During the primaries, Kerry floated a moonbat conspiracy theory about Bush striking a secret deal with the Saudis to make oil CHEAPER. Drilling in ANWR (and other places) would make oil CHEAPER. Easing regulations on the oil companies would make gas CHEAPER. Allowing "Benedict Arnold" corporations to outsource labor would make their products CHEAPER. Giving "tax breaks to the rich" would make their products and services CHEAPER.
Kerry has laid out the case that George W. Bush has been making oil cheaper for years. Someone should ask him if he considers that to be a good thing or a bad thing.
Very good points! Wish you were asking the questions!
The military protection tax we have paid on mid east oil has cost us perhaps trillions of dollars and thousands of lives so how can we say that the oil has been cheap?
Drilling in ANWAR makes sense and had it been started upon discovery of the fields we would now have this oil flowing into our pipelines. Perhaps that would have reduced some of the focus on protecting mid east oil. Not to mention the record prices we are experiencing because of our dependence.
I heard the same talk about reducing our dependency on mid east oil back in the early 70's while sitting in an odd even day gas line in Houston. We were importing 30% of our oil then. Now it is over 50%. All talk and no action. And it is our fault for not making politicians more accountable.
Special Thanks goes to Norm Coleman (R-MN) for voting with the Democrats on this one.
Kerry just took a shot a Dubya for HIGHER GAS PRICES!
Tah-raz-za just promised that John Boy would NEVER sent boys and girls to fight for oil (as she slipped into her stretch limo)...

I am separated and in the process of a divorce at the moment.
I have been going out with my aunt a few times a week and on a few occasions I have ran into an old co-worker that I worked with eight years ago. Back when I worked with him I never had an attraction but he would always try to talk to me. He's grown up and completely changed and I am definitely attracted to him.
I run into him again and we both get very intoxicated and end up taking things to the next level.
The next morning I have to leave and he takes me home - I ask to swap numbers but he refused to give me his number saying he's "not that kind of guy" and "he doesn't do this sort of thing". He acts like he doesn't believe I'm separated.
I give him my number on a paper hoping he will call.
A week goes by no call so I find an old mutual co worker and text him. Yes, I verified this was for sure his number. When I text him I don't right away tell him who it is I try to flirt and bring up conversations we had that would slowly suggest who I am. He try's to play off the card.. "I don't know who this is but you should probably stop texting me, my man wouldn't appreciate you". I explain that I would like to talk or see him and he completely ignores my texts...
Question is, did I just get played or do you think he is nervous about me still living with my ex and not wanting to get involved in that drama?
When I spent time with him the night we hooked up he seemed interested in my personal life and not just bedroom talk.
I am so confused.
We hooked up and he wouldn't give me his number and won't talk to me...?
I am separated and in the process of a divorce at the moment.
