Tilt [TV Series]
The nine-episode inaugural season of the ESPN poker drama Tilt was heralded by a preview special, taking viewers behind the scenes of the production and detailing various important plot points (without giving away any significant twists or turns). The series proper, which lasts nine episodes, begins with professional gamblers Eddie (Eddie Cibrian), Clark (Todd Williams), and Miami (Kristin Lehman) tensely prepping for their high-stakes showdown with poker king Don "The Matador" Everest (Michael Madsen) at the World Poker Championships, which will be held at Las Vega's Colorado Casino, owned by the fiercely (one could say maniacally) honest Bart "Lowball" Rogers (Don McManus). Before the big game, Eddie tries to infiltrate The Matador's inner circle, hoping to pick up the great man's arsenal of strategies. The Matador likes Eddie's style and invites him to join his entourage, which sets Miami and Clark to worrying that their master plan to topple The Matador will be schneidered before it begins. Adding to the intrigue is the hot romance between Eddie and The Matador's daughter, Dee Everest (Amelia Cooke), and a murder investigation conducted by vengeful out-of-town sheriff Lee Nickel (Chris Bauer). Meanwhile, outside the poker arena, such unpleasantries as deceit, duplicity, and death constantly rear their ugly heads. And, can it be possible that the above-suspicion Lowball has actually allowed some cheating to pass by undetected in his establishment? Matters continue to develop in this same hectic pace until the final confrontation between The Matador and...who? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Meanwhile, the FBI has been watching Ivan, and attempts to strong-arm Richie into turning informant. With Richie's help they could bring Ivan's illegitimate empire crashing to the ground.

The Girlfriend Experience stars adult film actress Sasha Grey as Chelsea, a high-priced escort who offers her wealthy clientele the eponymous service. In other words, on their long, often overnight "dates," she assumes the role of a temporary romantic partner, attending highbrow cultural events, engaging in intellectual discourse, and eating at hip and expensive restaurants, all while expressing an interest in the client's life and work. She keeps a detailed journal about her clients. Chelsea's live-in boyfriend, a personal trainer (Chris Santos, who previously worked as a personal trainer in the real world), struggles with trying to earn a fair share of the upscale business he brings into his gym. Chris is conflicted when a wealthy client invites him on a weekend trip to Vegas. The couple faces further problems when Chelsea finds herself sincerely attracted to one of her clients, a married screenwriter. Over the course of the film, Chelsea is interviewed by a journalist (played by real-life journo Mark Jacobson, whose reporting on Frank Lucas inspired the film American Gangster), and visits "The Erotic Connoisseur," a sleazy blogger who reviews escort services (portrayed by film critic Glenn Kenny). Director Steven Soderbergh shot The Girlfriend Experience (under the pseudonym Peter Andrews) using the same high-definition camera he used on Che. The script is by the writing team David Levien and Brian Koppelman (Rounders), who previously worked with Soderbergh on Ocean's Thirteen. The Girlfriend Experience was shown at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival. As with Soderbergh's Bubble, it was released theatrically and on pay-per-view on the same date. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Michael Douglas stars in this dialogue-driven comedy drama about an ethically challenged New York businessman who finds his life falling apart due to a series of career missteps and personal foul-ups. Once upon a time, Ben Kalmen (Douglas) had everything a man could possibly want -- a high-paying job, a beautiful wife, and a spacious Manhattan apartment -- but now all of that is a distant memory. The former owner of a successful auto dealership, Ben has recently lost everything thanks to his own inability to resist his impulses. But the resilient Ben isn't the type of guy to stay down for the count, and lately things are starting to look up for him again. Despite being divorced from his former college sweetheart Nancy (Susan Sarandon), Ben still manages to see his daughter, Susan (Jenna Fischer), and his grandson on a regular basis, and his new girlfriend, Jordan (Mary-Louise Parker), may have just the connections needed to help the floundering businessman get his career back on track. When Ben takes Jordan's college-bound daughter, Allyson (Imogen Poots), on a tour of a prospective school, however, his steely new resolve is put to the ultimate test. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Director Neil Burger's road movie The Lucky Ones stars Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams, and Michael Peña as three Iraq War veterans who take a road trip together. The trio meet on their way home from overseas with Fred Cheaver (Robbins) finishing his service once and for all, while the other two -- Colee Dunn (McAdams) and TK Poole (Peña) -- are about to enjoy 30 days of R and R. A blackout leads to the three renting a car together after their flight is indefinitely delayed, and driving from New York to Cheaver's home in St. Louis.

Emotionally shaken, Cheaver tries to drop the other two off at the airport, but they refuse to go until they can help him through his troubles. The two of them, however, are going through their own issues.

Michael Clayton (George Clooney) handles all of the dirty work for a major New York law firm, arranging top-flight legal services and skirting through loopholes for ethically questionable clients. But when a fellow "fixer" decides to turn on the very firm they were hired to clean up for, Clayton finds himself at the center of a conspiratorial maelstrom. Once an ambitious D.A., Clayton is now a shell of his former dynamic self, thanks to a divorce, an unfortunate business venture, and astronomical debt. Though he longs to leave the cutthroat, ethically dubious world of corporate law behind, Clayton's poor financial situation and devotion to firm head Marty Bach (Sydney Pollack) leave him little choice but to remain on the job and tough it out. Meanwhile, litigator Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) finds her entire company's future hinging on the outcome of a multi-billion-dollar settlement overseen by Clayton's friend, star lawyer Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson). When Edens snaps and decides to blow the whistle on the questionable case, sabotaging the defense, Clayton must decide between his loyalty and his conscience. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A big score goes wrong in a big way for a bunch of aspiring gangsters in this crime comedy. Matty Demaret (Barry Pepper) is the son of a mid-level Brooklyn mob boss, Benny "Chains" Demaret (Dennis Hopper). When Matty was 12 years old, Benny and Uncle Teddy (John Malkovich) decided to see if Matty had what it took to be in the mob; they gave the boy a gun and ordered him to shoot a longtime enemy of the family. Matty lacked the nerve to do it, and ever since, Benny has been convinced his son is a coward. As an adult, Matty is stuck between a rock and a hard place; he'd like to work as a sports agent, but his family's criminal ties make that all but impossible, and his dad won't give him a chance in the family's operations. Uncle Teddy decides to give Matty a chance to make good by asking him to pick up a payment of $500,000 in Spokane, WA. Matty puts together a crew of three friends, all sons of mob guys, to help him out: muscle bound Taylor (Vin Diesel), ladies' man Chris (Andrew Davoli), and cocaine-addled would-be pilot Johnny (Seth Green). Getting the money goes just fine, but during a refueling stop in Montana, Johnny has to hide the money to keep it from being discovered. It's then promptly stolen by a pair of burnouts. When Matty and his crew discover the money is missing, they head back to Montana, but before long, they find out that the sheriff (Tom Noonan) is onto them, and that he has his own plans for the cash; they also learn that Uncle Teddy has some plans he didn't tell them about. Knockaround Guys marked the directorial debut for the screenwriting team of Brian Koppelman and David Levien. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

John Dahl directed this exploration of New York private clubs devoted to high-stakes poker, with first-person narration from the film's central figure, law student Mike McDermott (Matt Damon), who loses his entire savings to Russian club owner Teddy KGB (John Malkovich). Mike then turns away from cards, devoting his attentions to his law studies and his live-in girlfriend Jo (Gretchen Mol), who's concerned when Mike's former gambling buddy Worm (Edward Norton) is released from prison. She has good reason to worry, since it takes Worm only a matter of minutes to draw Mike back into poker action. When she learns Mike has returned to the poker clubs, she moves out, and Mike begins to lose interest in his studies. Worm has a pre-prison debt, and the threatening Grama (Michael Rispoli) wants the money. Mike not only indulges the irresponsible Worm, he gets involved in Worm's debts. When Grama demands $15,000 on a five-day deadline, the two buddies go into high gear with a non-stop, no-sleep gambling binge that spirals downward toward an ultimate confrontation with Teddy KGB. Darkened club interiors and New York nights are captured by the cinematography of Jean Yves Escoffier, who moved from French films (the 1991 Les Amants du Pont Neuf) to American movies with the reflective surfaces of Excess Baggage (1997) and the patina of pathos found in Harmony Korine's experimental Gummo (1997). Shown at the 1998 Venice Film Festival and the 1998 Montreal Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Cinema icon Al Pacino joins a powerhouse cast headed by of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, and series newcomer Ellen Barkin for this, the third installment of director Steven Soderbergh's popular series of glitzy crime comedies. The only hotelier in Las Vegas who can claim that each and every one of his establishments has earned the Royal Review Board's Five Diamond Award, Willy Bank (Pacino) has made more than his share of enemies during his impressive ascent. While most of Bank's adversaries amount to little more than the occasional nuisance, however, this powerful player is about to find out that picking your enemies in Las Vegas can be a true gamble. In betraying Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), Bank has finally crossed the one man who could bring his entire empire crumbling to the ground -- Danny Ocean (Clooney). Now Reuben is in critical condition, and Ocean is determined to strike back at the man who nearly murdered his mentor. Bank may have taken down one of the original Ocean's Eleven, but his efforts only managed to unite the remaining ten closer than ever before. As the opening of Bank's newest casino draws near, Danny and the crew set into motion a bold plan to humiliate the cocksure casino owner and forever tarnish his spotless reputation. It won't be easy, but if Ocean and his team can get their elaborate plan together in time for the opening of The Bank, they just might be able to deliver some serious Las Vegas justice. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A supernaturally talented magician attempts to undermine the rigid social structure of turn-of-the-century Vienna by using his powers to win the love of his upper-class, childhood sweetheart in director Neil Burger's cinematic adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Steven Millhauser's short story. Though the ill-fated childhood romance between cabinetmaker's son Eisenheim (Edward Norton) and upper-class Sophie von Teschen (Jessica Biel) eventually resulted in the heartbroken young man leaving Austria to explore the world, his dreams of one day reuniting with the beautiful duchess never faded. Upon returning to Vienna 15 years later as a talented and renowned illusionist, Eisenheim's hopes of a reunion seem dashed when he learns that Sophie is currently engaged to the Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell). As the tensions between the Eisenheim and Leopold elevate, urbane Chief Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti) finds his sympathy toward Eisenheim growing, despite his formal obligations to the powerful prince. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man fights to bring decency and the rule of law back to his hometown in this action drama. Chris Vaughn (The Rock) left his home in Washington State's timber country to join the Army, where he distinguished himself as a member of the Special Forces. When his hitch is over, Vaughn decides to return home to help run the family business, a sawmill, but he soon makes the unpleasant discovery that things aren't what they once were. Vaughn learns that the town's lumber industry has all but dried up, and an old high school buddy, Jay Hamilton (Neal McDonough), has turned the city into a den of vice, running a large gambling casino and strip club while selling drugs and women on the side. Angry at this turn of events, and frustrated by local law enforcement officials who are willing to ignore Hamilton's crimes in exchange for kickbacks, Vaughn decides to run for sheriff, and with the help of another old friend, Ray Templeton (Johnny Knoxville), he wins the election. But Hamilton doesn't take kindly to Vaughn's attempts to clean up the town, and Vaughn discovers Hamilton's henchmen are willing to target his friends, his family, and the woman he loves (Ashley Scott) in order to have their way. Walking Tall was based on Phil Karlson's 1973 action hit of the same name, which was in turn inspired by the true story of Buford Pusser, who was sheriff of Tennessee's McNairy County between 1964 and 1970 and gained fame for his tough tactics against the local criminal element. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Three people attempt to bend justice for their own purposes in this drama based on the best-selling novel by John Grisham. After a man dies in a shooting incident, his wife files a lawsuit against the company that manufactured the gun, with her lawyer, Wendell Rohr (Dustin Hoffman), arguing that the firm in question knew the shop which sold the weapon was not following federal regulations pertaining to the sale of firearms. As the case goes to trial, the firearm manufacturer is taking no chances on the outcome of a potentially devastating case, and they hire as part of their legal team Rankin Fitch (Gene Hackman), a "jury consultant" who makes it his business to see that he knows enough about the jurors to be able to guarantee the result of the trial. Fitch and his team have learned incriminating secrets about nearly everyone hearing the evidence, but Fitch discovers two factors he wasn't counting upon -- Nick Easter (John Cusack), the jury member who appears to have an agenda all his own, and Marlee (Rachel Weisz), a mysterious woman who has her own plans regarding bending the jury to her will. Bruce Davison, Jeremy Piven, and Bruce McGill round out the supporting cast. Incidentally, in John Grisham's original book, the case was filed against a cigarette manufacturer, but the producers opted to adjust the story after several real-life trials against tobacco companies. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Quarantine fumigating season
By Shim Hyun-chul A vehicle drives slowly through an alley while leaving billowing clouds of foggy insecticide from behind. One is reminded of running and following the dense yet airy smoke as a child with friends in the neighborhood maze of alleys. As the weather gets warmer, more bugs are out and sanitation officials become busier. The Yangcheon District Office launched the Government-Private Joint Disinfection Squad 2012 to protect the health of residents. Composed of 141 officials ― 13 from public health centers and 129 from Saemaul Undong (New Movement) branches, they will work together on pest control to prevent possible epidemics. At the launch ceremony, various methods of extermination such as eco-friendly ways using a natural enemy of mosquitoes were demonstrated. "We try to keep our district clean and hygienic by disinfecting garbage containers and installing traps for harmful insects at local parks," a district official said. For more information, call (02) 2620-3883. |

The Elder Statesmen, the first performers at the show, was a group of dedicated .African-American gospel singers whose passionate music flies above religion. "We all say religion is a name. If you just remove the name and stand and listen to it, everj'body can get a message out of it," said Joe Warren, the self-proclaimed tallest member of the Elder Statesmen, The group, founded in 1998, has had different members over the years. Today it consists of Mr. Warren, Teddy Williams, Ronnie Alford and Douglas Covington. "At the time when the group was formed, it was four of us and everyone (continued on page 9) Baldwin staff honored in absentia By Joan Delaney The Baldwin School District's June Board of Education meeting, generally an event of poignant and binersweet camaraderie with a host of colleagues, relatives and parents honoring retiring staff, was unusual in the presence of only four of the 22 retirees. The event, begun in 1989 by former Superintendent of Schools Gene Lanzaio, highlights the achievements of all sectors of staff, who, Mr. Lanzaro was fond of saying, were "educators all." At the June 13 meeting, the retiring staff members who were present included Kathleen Dykes, principal of Steele School and Petronella Celura, principal of Shubert School, as well as senior high school account clerk Robert Devlin and District Clerk Jacquie Ackerman. Ms. Ackerman will continue in that position until December, but retired from her primary position as administrative assistant in Ae personnel department during the past year. Despite the absence of the 18 other retirees. Board President Mary Jo O'Hagan read the'prepared citations enumerating their accomplishments during a 40-minute portion of the public meeting. At that point. Acting Superintendent Thomas Caramore read a list of three dozen staff members who were receiving tenure and they and their families were applauded prior to a short break for refi^shments. Among those honored were teachers encompassing a wide variety of academic disciplines as well as Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Michael Roccoforte and District Director of Curriculum, Technology and Instructional Support Services, Sandy Frieberg. The presence of Dr. Caramore as Acting Superintendent was not explained fiurther to the audience,who, at last month's regular meeting, saw Dr. Robert Britto presiding as superintendent -As reported in The Leader, the resignation of Dr. Britto was announced by the board at a speciaUy caUed meeting at 5:30 p.m. on May 22, which was attended only by local press. At that time, Ms. O'Hagan also announced that Dr. Caramore would serve as acting superintendent until June 30. Those facts were subsequently sent in a letter to local newspapers but no further public announcement has been made relative to Dr. Caramore's status beyond that date. However, after his welcome by Ms. O^Hagan, Dr. Caramore said that he was looking forward to working together with staff and students, a comment that seemed to imply a further fiiture role beyond the next two weeks. On May 22, Ms. O'Hagan said that the board had no plans in place relative to a superintendent search or interim appointment, and at least publicly, has not explained what would then be a gap in coverage after Jime 30, until the next scheduled public meeting on July 11, unless another special meeting is called to vote on an appointment (continued on page 7)

- Employee hockey team unites CommVault with Microsoft, ShopRite Village Supermarkets and other sponsors to play hockey, raise awareness, money for children's non-profits
- NHL venues offer exciting regular season contests that draw partners and customers to mix fun with philanthropy
OCEANPORT, N.J., Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) is ready to hit the ice again as the company's hockey team opens its 14th season, raising money and awareness for various children's organizations and charities nationwide. CommVault's Hockey Helping Kids brings the program's platinum, gold and silver sponsors, partners, customers, employees and their families together for fun and competitive hockey games, dinners and fundraisers, usually held along with National Hockey League (NHL) contests. To date, the program has raised more than $500,000 for children's charities, while raising public awareness of each program beneficiary's mission.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110329/MM73841LOGO)
This year's game roster features six games that coincide with National Hockey League (NHL) regular season contests in each venue. Each Hockey Helping Kids event includes a "JV" game, which provides partners and customers the experience of skating on NHL ice, followed by a "Varsity" game in which CommVault employees face off against formidable opponents. This year's Varsity team opponents include Brad Maxwell (President of the Minnesota NHL Alumni Association) and several other NHL Alumni, current members of the USA Women's National Hockey team, and former USA Women's Olympic team gold medalists.
The 2013-2014 season schedule includes the following games:
Since its inception, CommVault's Hockey Helping Kids program has raised more than $500,000 by increasing awareness for the missions of the children's charities supported by the program. Charities that will benefit from this season's play include Philadelphia PowerPlay, a power wheelchair floor hockey team; Temple University Athletics; the Long Island Chapter of Autism Speaks; Hendrickson's Foundation for Special Hockey, a group dedicated to providing hockey opportunities to disabled children; the Autism Society of Minnesota; and Courageous Sailing of Boston, a center committed to removing barriers to sailing access for all Boston youth, the public and those with physical and intellectual challenges. Additional charities for the 2013-2014 season will be announced as the season progresses.
Various sponsor levels permit CommVault partners to contribute to these events so that all monies raised through Hockey Helping Kids fundraising endeavors and merchandise auctions go directly to the supported charities. Platinum sponsors include Microsoft Corp., Windows Server, Windows Azure, and ShopRite Village Supermarkets, the Minnesota NHL Alumni Association, NetApp, SHI, RBA Consulting, Bjork Builders, Muller Insurance, and D&M Auto Body are participating in the program as gold sponsors and Radnor Wallace is a silver sponsor.
Approximately 100 CommVault employees collaborate each season to volunteer for this exciting program and to provide support for the target charities, in partnership with the program's sponsors.

Seven Days Says:
"In Every Musician..." paintings inspired by well-known operas.
Charles Movalli
With several summer opera companies now vying for their attention, Vermonters have more opportunities than ever to experience the genre. Stowe's Green Mountain Fine Art Gallery presents a visual-art twist on the theme with paintings by Charles Movalli. In his series "In Every Musician..." the Massachusetts painter explores the fluid relationship between music and art, transforming the big-voiced essence of opera into a visual medium. His interpretation of The Barber of Seville affirms celebrated 20th-century music critic Ernest Newman's assertion that "in every musician there is something of the poet and a painter; in every painter, something of the poet and musician." Through August 4. Pictured: "Il Barbiere."

Vondalee Mulroney Milton has always been one to keep her family and friends close to her heart and has never forgotten her Irish roots. Born to Merlyn E. Mulroney and Wanda Mae McClelland in Susanville, Calif. Dec. 1, 1939, Vondalee, who came to be known as Vonda, graduated from Lassen High School in 1957 and Reno Business College in 1960. She married her high school sweetheart, Russell E. Milton, April 30, 1960 in Reno, Nev. Two children were born to them, Tamara Lee and Ryan Pierce.Vondalee M. Milton
The Miltons moved from Susanville to Alturas, Calif. in 1971, where together "Vonda and Russ" owned and operated Modoc Motor Parts in Alturas and Cedarville, until they retired in 2005.
Vonda's knack for organizing fun family gatherings and her gracious hostess skills drew family and friends together for good times and holidays, whether at the Milton home in Alturas or at Eagle Lake, where Russ and Vonda built their dream cabin, overlooking Eagle Lake, known as a relaxing retreat for everyone who stopped in. She enjoyed cooking and often treated guests to newly-discovered recipes which were always wonderful. Famous for her homemade green Blarney Stones (cakes), which those fortunate to receive on St. Patrick's Day will not soon forget. Her indomitable Irish spirit came through in all aspects of her life and radiated warmth and good cheer to all she came in contact with. People who got to call her friend consider themselves luckier than finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Vonda made lifelong friendships.
Her sense of humor, honesty and humbleness were coupled with helping others see things from a different perspective. Vonda enjoyed the art of quilting and gardening and was always willing to try something new or go someplace new. She took up piano lessons in retirement, loved traveling to Eagle Lake and enjoyed many concerts and live performances. The Alturas Community Theater was one of Vonda's treasured projects. She even convinced her grandchildren to volunteer time with her on the theater project.
Vonda chose to become a member of St. Michael's Episcopal Church in 1973. She has been a dedicated and supportive church member through the years at church events and has held positions on the church board and with Episcopal Church Women. Vonda was a member of the first-ever Alturas Chamber of Commerce and Welcoming Committee, when it formed in 1991. She personally helped welcome new business owners and residents with informational/gift packets and a kind visit to get newcomers off to a welcome start and answer their questions. She was also a member of the American Red Cross. A wonderful, loving mother, business partner and wife, her family from children to great-grandchildren, have always come first.
Vonda passed away peacefully on Jan. 9, 2012 in Alturas with her husband by her side.
Vonda is survived by her husband Russell, of Alturas; sister Patty Gomez, of Janesville, Calif.; daughter Tami McCollum and husband Jeff, of Sattley, Calif.; son Ryan Milton, ofAlturas; grandson Cody McCollum, wife Nicole and great-grandson Cooper, of Loyalton, Calif.; grandson Kenny McCollum, of Calpine, Calif. and numerous nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. Jan. 21, 2012 at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, 310 North St., Alturas, Calif.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to High Desert Hospice, 112 E. 2nd St., Alturas, CA 96101 or Alturas Community Theater, 127 S. Main St., Alturas, CA96101
Vonda's family so appreciates all your kind actions, thoughts and prayers during this time.
Juana (Lupe) Zinn
Our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, friend and hero passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family on Dec. 23, 2011.
She was born March 8, 1934 in Reno, Nev. A Sparks native, she graduated from Sparks High and Reno Business College with a degree in business. She worked for Wells Cargo in Reno and Care West in Susanville.
After raising her seven children, she went to work for the California Correctional Center where she retired after 14 years.
She was an avid bowler and thoroughly enjoyed watching her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren participate in all sports. She enjoyed Tai-Chi and donated her time to the thrift shop. She was a member of the Sacred Heart Women's Auxiliary. She never knew a stranger, and greeted everyone with a smile, a smile you could see in her eyes. Her family was most important to her.
She is survived by her brother Victor (Vicky) Macias, of Reno; children Rita Phillips, and Karen Simon, of Sparks; Carol Baublit, Gary Zinn, and Dan Zinn, of Susanville; and Robert (Kristina) Zinn, of Paradise, Calif.; 11 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and her "baby" Scooter (dog).
She was preceded in death by her son, Bradley James Zinn; mother Antonia Macias, fathers Ralph Rodriquez, and Calixto Macias; and sister, Esperanza Rodriguez.
Services were held Friday, Dec. 30, 2011 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Susanville, with reception following at Monsignor Moran Hall. Internment will be at a later date at Our Mother of Sorrows Cemetery, of Reno, Nev.
In lieu of flowers please donate to the AIDS, kidney or lupus foundation in her name.

I just realized, my life has been 1 train wreck after another. First, I was born with CYSTIC fibrosis and told that I wudn't live and if i did i wudn't be able to walk or run. I fairly stroked them, but anyway, after that my ma is told that she has breast cancer, my da had an affair, my grandpa, who i was very close to, died while my ma had the cancer. It went good for a while then my parents were seriously thinkin about a divorce. Thank God they didn't. And the last straw was this Sunday... John Cena def JBL! AHHHH! Best champ ever gets beat by a punk.
Anyway, cheer me up or depress me more with this thread by literally tellin ur life story! ! ! |

My life's story is way too long and complicated. Let's just say you have it good compared to a lot of other people.. and while it may seem to hard for you to handle sometimes, just remember you could have way, way worse.
Maybe I'll edit this with a short story later. |

I used to feel terrible about my life, like cry everyday and stuff but i realised that there's more to life than pain, look on the bright side. This year has been intriguing. My parents are getting divorced, i hardly see my dad (he's living with his new girlfriend), my mom might be moving to england, meaning, i'll be leaving alone with my sister. And i just found out that my dad is on drugs and the people i care about the most aren't even talking to me, due to a silly missunderstanding, i mean, i have so much on my mind and i'm only 16. But i also have my studies to think about, and of course i need to be strong for boys, lol. But i'm still alive, i'm happy sorta.
Just don't think of the pain too much, it hurts more. hope you feel better. |

I'm very sorry about that
I was born..with very pretty spriely curly dark brown hair. It grew very long and pretty...then came my first haircut when it got all straight and ugly >.< Then I broke my leg, and was put on a cast for almost a year because I was so young and my bones wern't developed. I was a huge loser in elementary school..then wasn't as big of a dork in middle school =p...around 8-10 my grandpa and meme died when I was 10 I found out my grandma got breast cancer..and by 12 my dad got colon cancer..It was very upsetting..he had to get surgury and everything but everything ended up ok. My best friend got skin cancer and thyroid cancer when I was in 6th grade..around 11.. Yeah..well a lot of people I know have died and had cancer and stuff. Sorry that was out of order. |

Life's story is too long.
I had to go through a C-Operation because my heart rate dropped about four times and they say that there was a high probability(Sp?) of me dying. I was born with some weird heart condition but it was gone after a couple months. Life is a pain, I remember as a young child just hanging with my bro' and sis' in the livingroom while my mom constantly argued with my dad accusing him of having an affair with someone else. All that was back then when I cared about them Lets see here, I dont want to look back but I might as well... I grew up moving a lot so I didn't have many friends really growing up, always having to move and switch to a different enviorment. There was this one time, I was pulled out of school for w/e reason, this was during 8th grade. Like 5 min. before lunch and I was mad hungry. It was my mom, I was like sweet im leaving school, turns out we had to go to my grandma's house because she wasn't doing so good. She was on life support. I loved her so I wanted to go because you know damn thats some serious shit. I went she seemed fine so I went upstairs and went to sleep. Suddenly, I woke up and had this weird feeling, I was headed downstairs, as soon as I got to the stairs I heard "Mama!" I was like oh no... so I rushed downstairs only to see her... gone (I'm gonna end this part here ) Man... im getting too emotional, I'll edit this later... |

sounds like your taking it pretty well...
anyways my life is definetly unpredictable. I have had my low points and i have had my high points, but one thing i've noticed is that over the past 3 years things have been going well. I havn't had extreme downpoints in my life, just the occasionally "you need to take your studies more seriously," stuff from my parents. Is this a sign of better things to come or another break of bad events? maybe, like i said, my life is unpredictable. |

I've had a lot go wrong in my life.
I'm terrible with dealing with things. A lot of people have died in my life. All of my grandparents (except for one grandfather) had died before I was born. It may not sound like much, but it ended up being bad. All of my friends would always sit there and brag about how much fun they would have at a grandmother's house and how their grandmothers would bake cookies with them and how they'd go fishing with their grandfathers, and I had never been able to experience any of that. I only had one grandfather and his health was never stable. He had suffered from at least three heart-attacks in my time of knowing him. He also battled cancer during my time, so he was never stable enough in health to even talk to him sometimes. Then one day in second grade, we got a phone call from my uncle telling us that my grandfather was in the hospital and was already brain-dead. We got there to visit him before we had to say goodbye forever. I was the only one in the room when he completely died and that experience will haunt me forever. Even typing this now, I'm getting chills up and down my spine. I was eight years old when my last grandparent died. I was "lucky" enough to witness it as well. Then a few months later, my dog died. Once again, that doesn't seem like much, but it really was. At that point, I was an extreme loner. I had one friend and in that grade, we weren't very close. So, naturally, my dog was basically my best friend. Then she died. At least it wasn't a brutal death, but I witnessed two deaths of people I cared very deeply for within a few months at a semi-young age. It hit me like a load of bricks. I understood death, but it just hit me hard. Then as I got older, I got made fun of a lot at school for, I guess looking back on it, for being different. I liked metal at a young age and I was always just very different than everyone else. I got made fun of daily. I still do to this day, but it was very bad in elementary school. Then in sixth grade, one of my close friends passed away. She had a lot of heart problems and suffered a long time. She passed away when I was twelve. She was fourteen. It was a bad, bad experience for me. It hurt so much to see her at the wake and at the funeral in the open coffin. I cried for months. It was bad in which the way I figured it out. Someone came and told me in orchestra in sixth grade right after she passed. My parents wouldn't let me come home either. Then after that, a few cousins and uncles passed away. Those weren't as tragic towards me as the other ones though. Those are just a few events. There are also a lot of on-going things in my life that bring me down. I already mentioned it, but the fact of being made fun of everyday or so. I know I shouldn't let their words get to me and such, but I get made fun of everyday by people I absolutely hate. They get away with that shit all of the time and if I step up to the plate and try to defend myself, I get in trouble. I get into trouble all of the time. Even if I don't do something, I have to take the blame, and it seems like even if I try and defend myself, I get into MORE trouble. I can't stand it. I get made fun of for things I can't even control. My mental issues, my height, my family, etc. I'm sorry, but I can't control any of that, so it really gets to me. My parents really bug me. I know, I know. Every teenage girl says that, but my parents don't really seem to care. They are SO strict. I'm not allowed out after 8:00 P.M. and I have to get offline at 8:30 P.M. Common concerns, right? Well...I guess....But they don't allow me to do ANYTHING. If I'm in a bad mood and I show it, they yell at me for taking it out on them, in which usually I am not. If I'm sad, they basically give me a "suck-it-up" kind of look and tell me to get over it. They rarely want to talk to me about things. When they do and I talk to them about my problems, they barely even listen. My parents are nice and all, but they don't really care. They just want me to bring home good grades and they want me to be well-behaved. We don't talk at all. They just expect me to be perfect. I've never had many friends, and that's fine, but now even my best friends are causing a lot of issues between us. They both have boyfriends and they absolutely LOVE to rub that little fact in my face, seeing that I don't currently have a boyfriend. I don't care that they have boyfriends. That's great for them, sure, I'm happy for them, but do they have to rub it in my face that they have boyfriends and I don't? I don't care if they're being subtle about it. That's the impression that I get. They always talk about their boyfriends around me, even when I try and change the subject. I've tried to talk to them about this before, but they don't give a shit about my problems and they always bring the subject back to themselves or to their boyfriends. I had a serious talk with one of them on the subject and she just threw it back at me, telling me that this is how she felt when I was dating a guy named Alec. Well, excuse me, but I didn't make out with him in frong out of school. Meh. nt of you. They show their affection publically, right in my face. I'll be talking with one of them, and they'll just start making out. Right there on the spot. In mid-sentence. Then my other friends never want to do anythi No, boyfriends aren't all that I care about, but I still can't get over my ex. We had a weird break-up and we have a weird relationship now. He got a new girlfriend promptly after we broke up. He likes to talk about the "old times," but he never wants to re-live them or do anything as friends. It just gets to me. I'm really sensitive. I have a few mental issues as well. I have chronic depression along with other things. I'm an insomniac, and it hurts me terribly grades-wise. And that, in return, makes my relationship with my parents worse. I cut a lot, and I am suicidal most of the time. I realize that last bit is brought on by myself and myself only, but some of it is caused by the mental disorders I have. The few people that know about my issues judge me by them. They don't get to know me because of my mental issues. They're almost afraid of me or something, I think. Anyway, I've complained enough and I don't think anyone cares to read anymore about my childhood. I have more to say, but I'm tired of typing. |

my mom and dad never got along, they fought every day and even wanted a divorce. they never did, and me and my sister suffered even more at home.
my mom and dad would never understand me, they took away a lot of things that i loved. actually, they took away everything i loved and made me live a more restricted life. I went to a lot of different schools, and my friends always changed. However, this year, I just don't seem to fit in. It was relaly weird, because out of all the schools I went to, this is the only one where it felt really secluded. Until this day, I still am. I lost many of my friends cuz I don't go to my old shcools anymore, so it doesn't matter to them who i am. :/ my mom recently took away sports. It was the only thing that made me happy cuz i didn't have to deal with other crap at home. sports were a comfort to me, and i got good grades while i was at it. my mom, however, didn't seem to care or notice that. so, she made me quit because she said that i should concentrate more on my grades. however, my grades are now worse than usual, i have never failed a class, this is my first time. i've been pretty depressed lately because of the things ways are rolling. my friends, my family, my sister, my grades. not one aspect of life is right for me. so it really sucks :/ |

Bad things that have happened to me?
It all started when I was 13, when I was going out with a man 12 years older than me (25). I was still a virgin, until one night we went out on a date. That's the night I lost my virginity against my will, and got pregnant. Since I am against abortion, I had to keep the baby, but my family disapproved. I was kicked out of my house and had to live with random friends the whole time I was pregnant. I worked part-time as a waitress and part-time as a nurse's aid, while I was pregnant. I was on my feet all day, I only got 5 hours (at most) of sleep a day for about 270 days. (9 months) The man who raped me left me alone with the baby, so I had no one to support me. I was kicked out of high school, my home and I had to move to another state so I could live with one of my cousins, who actually understood. But...it happens everyday, doesn't it? |

Cystic Fibrosis, it's a disease that affects the lungs VERY badly. It always SERIOUSLY affects the digestive system so if I dont take tablets before I eat or drink I will get VERY VERY VERY bad stomach pains. They are sooooooooo painful.

And I will continue 2 fite until I die... which will be at a younger age than the normal life expentincy. I have 2 take inhalers, nebulisers, tablets, and some times oxygen just to stay SORT of healthy. I know another girl, 18, who has it. She says it REALLY ruins ur social life becos if u're goin out with somebody and u pull out tablets, they freak out and don't understand. That's something that I'm not looking foward 2.

It is a serious problem... but I am being honest and not tooting my own horn at all, I am remarkable! I know it sounds like i luv myself but i am telling the truth. Our school Principal thinks i am remarkable and teachers think it is outstanding that I can play soccer with the disease that shud make me breathless constantly. I can't wait till one day (if they find a cure, which is virtually impossible) to be freed from this life-worrying disease and say: Hey, FU-K U, I WAS RITE! FU-K U, U WERE WRONG! I LIVED!
