Boys Don't Cry.
Source: diapersdaisies.blogspot.com via Morgan on Pinterest
In the days of my youth, the boys of summer and winter never cried.
Both the the fair-haired and the dark-haired Chris in my neighborhood got the belt from their fathers, but never shed a tear. One day the younger Chris came to school late and was so badly beaten that he bracketed sharply into my old rickety school desk to keep from falling. But still, when the three o'clock bell rang dustily, he called out to his bronzed-boyhood friends, "See you at the ballpark guys, and don't be late," as he stumbled over to his bicycle with a sideways grin.
There was Mike the Machinist. We used to call him that as teenagers because he could make a go-cart that rivaled any cranky ol' Dodge Dart on the streets where we lived.
Mike was forced to drop out of school and sell pot to support his family after his father was raggedy, ravaged-torn and drug-addicted after serving in Vietnam . . . but he never talked about it.
We just knew about it.
Boys and men suffer a great deal; a topic widely unspoken and unpopular in Western thought and in the naked psyche of our culture.
Men are abused, battered, beaten, raped, tortured, murdered, sold into sexual slavery, soldiered-up and often treated as less importantthan even the animals they traditionally hunt down and kill for their families.
The closest I ever came to seeing a male cry was when a wistful, bare-shouldered boy-man said, "I love you," after which I had no answer.
Just about 14, Sean was popular, tan and Godded sandy-haired from long days of surfing and reckoning along the sun-drenched beaches of California. His eyes welled up like an overflowing well, but no tears came forth.Instead, he just held my hand and put an orange flower in my hair as we jaunted up the old jagged-edged hill from his favorite drifted ocean hideaway.
Together, we never went there again.
Sean once told me, "My dad hurts me bad you know, and he says I deserve it 'cause I ruined his every chance to be a young man."
"Don't know much about being a man yet," Sean said softly, as he carved a cross in the sand with an old lighter, "but I know I'll never hurt my kids, least not in that way."
When he told his mother about being molested, she did not believe him. I told him that I believed him, and I suppose that is he why he loved me, so many salted, summery moons ago.
Then there was Stevie. He was the kind of kid we were all scared of, but liked just the same. Over six feet tall with arms a lookin' like guns, he used to joke around a lot about his grandfather who drank too much and liked to hit him over the head with broken whiskey bottles.
"Look at this one," Stevie would say as he pointed to a new gash over his eye, all blood-dried and rippled on his taut white skin. "Told Gramps that one day I'm gonna kill him, yes Sir."
The elder men who abuse these boys suffer too, as they come from and live in very dark places within and without. They relive and continuously self-therapize their own abuse each time they inflict pain on youngins'… just the kind they endured as younger men, so many distant, black and whited years before.
There was an older man called Pal Al who used to drink night and day near a bus stop at the edge of town. He was crippled with a face that was eternally sunburnt, cracked, and spent much like all the years he lost and desperately wanted to get back.
One day I overheard him mumbling about how he accidentally killed a woman and her kid during World War II.
"Screw it," said Pal Al, after which he asked for a buck.
"Screw them all, at least I'm still here," he yelled, as he hit himself on the arm with an old nasty pipe.
Everyone knows about boys and men who somehow withstand pain and death-defying experiences. But for so many uncounted, seasoned-hidden reasons, they never dare to speak up, look for consolation, or ask for help.
One only needs to look at the horrific stories of 'a multitude of boys' who have been molested and spiritually sodomized by clergymen, laymen, teachers and coaches in recent years. What these stories have in common, besides the element of brazen brutality, is that they took decades to come to the light and the plight that is evidently now part of a man's world.
Because boys are told from an early age to buckle up, man-up and that "nothing is too difficult" for a real man to face.
Every family has their untold and unspoken stories about the unspeakable horrors inflicted upon the boys and the men they know, but the subject about what males endure is not a popular one, and one that makes us feel uncomfortable, weak, vulnerable and unsafe. After all, boys as young as five in many countries are heavily doped up and strapped with machine guns and forced to kill other boys, men, women and children for reasons they cannot possibly understand and never will. And in this country, boys of the same age are ridiculed, called gay, labeled as "special needs," loaded up withprescription drugsandeven bullied to death if they appear emotional, empathetic or have feelings that are considered to be female-like.
But boys don't cry, we all know that.
And if they do, we muffle their tears and wipe them swiftly with discontentment, riddle them with psychotropic drugs and shame them with unbridled fury, shifty-eyed disappointment and all-out abandonment.
The book Iron John by Robert Bly ventured to explore the topic of men and their needs.
What a concept.
In this prolific work , he explored an allegorical interpretation of a German fairy tale called Iron Hans, wherein a prince wanders into a wild forest led by an unusual telepathic man. This man proceeds to induct and initiate him into manhood through a series of rituals, lessons, and masculine-traited rites of intellectual and ideologic passage.
Bly postulated how many modern boys and men lack much of the male solidified relationships of yesteryear through generational bonds that used to secure males to each other, and that would in turn help to secure the families and communities where they live, breed and prosper.
With so many fatherless boys today, this is a problem that will not be remedied any time soon.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, out of more than 24 million children in America, one out of three, now grows up in homes where no father is ever present. And while most single mothers attempt to do their best, God bless them, it's just not cutting it when it comes to raising a lot of boys into healthy and productive men. Real data reveals that boys in father-absent homes are nearly four times more likely to be poor; 39 percent will become incarcerated, and the absence of a father in the home increases a child's chance of becoming physically, emotionally and sexually abused.
Haven't hard enough?
Stand down.
Sixty-three percent of youth suicides, 85 percent of behavioral disorders, 71 percent of high school dropouts and 70 percent of juveniles in state-operated institutions are raised in homes without fathers.
"Young men who grow up in homes without fathers are twice as likely to end up in jail as those who come from traditional two-parent families," said Sara S. McLanahan of Princeton University.
"And those boys whose fathers are absent from the household have double the odds of being incarcerated, even when other factors such as race, income, parent education and urban residence were held constant."
Most psychologists agree that boys need their fathers. Simple as that.
Because when they don't, bad things happen all around. And soon enough, we're not going to have enough wars, prisons or alleyways to house these grown men who were rabidly robbed of their fathers.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young males ages 15 to 24, and the rates are also on the rise for adult men in this country.
According to the CDC, suicide is on the rise for men due to a wide variety of depressing reasons that are growing exponentially worse without barely a whiff of evidentiary action or empathy.
"What the hell is going on, I don't know, I don't know," cried one man in rehab facility, after he nearly fatally overdosed on a cocktail of pills and alcohol.
Ed lost his job two years ago and began drinking heavily afterward. He's been drinking ever since and doesn't know where his girlfriend or two kids are.
"I had it all man, I did," he yelled, as he grabbed a chunk of hair clear out of his scalp. "Don't know anymore, don't know anything."
That's all he said as he paced around in a circle, followed by laying down on a cold cement chiseled floor.
If you don't care at all about how the male population is faring even as a general testament, too squeamish or cowardly about facing raw seared-reality, or would rather turn on the television . . . then you appear to be in quite popular company.
Historically, no seeming new ideology, philosophy, psychological rendering or political idea is assumed as valid, if not outright ridiculed and attacked for being perverse and a threat to every social fiber and moral sensitivity.
This is no different.
We don't want to think about the sufferings of the male culture because we need to think they are strong, always. We need males to be powerful, virile and be ready to single-handedly blow up a building, shoot a terrorist, save Wall Street, support families, balance the budget, fight wars and by all means never, ever be vulnerable or emotional.
After all, if we allow their stories to be told in a truly serious, even matter-of-fact manner without apologies, we might be reminded that they are human beings.
I have three uncles who are World War II veterans; all of whom were wounded, all of them heroes, but not one of them who has ever boasted or complained about what they accomplished in order to deserve and receive numerous medals including Purple Hearts and Bronze Stars.
These man also endured a severe brand of racism, bigotry, economic and political discrimination as they were Japanese-American soldiers who enlisted as volunteer soldiers in the 442nd Infantry after the savaged attack on Pearl Harbor. But today they remain strong, stoic, humble and god-fearing.
"There's no need to talk about those days," said one uncle who just turned 90.
"I am a rebel, and now I rebel not to talk about what happened. I didn't need to prove I was an American, but I fought for my country because my country needed me to."
After the war, these men like so many who have served, came home to nearly nothing and yet managed to rebuild their lives, their families and their communities while they struggled and waged new wars on the home front, among them economic.
But it is a different world for men today.
Along with hard economic times wherein many veterans feel "less than" as they cannot afford to support their families or themselves, males are feeling so desperately lost and hopeless that they are killing themselves after they return home from war.
According to General Raymond Odierno, the Army's Chief of Staff, "Today, suicide is the most frequent cause of death among army forces, surpassing combat deaths and motor vehicle accidents."
July of 2012 was the worst month on record since the Army began tracking suicide rates. According to the Pentagon, 38 soldiers took their own lives.
It is reported that veterans and non-military men who successfully commit suicide are reported as feeling unsuccessful and emasculated by a world they feel no longer values them.
And they are right much of the time.
In recent years, it is reported than men in the U.S. are experiencing a great deal of stress insofar as achieving educational and career goals, and hard statistics show they are now less successful than women in the academic arena.
Men have historically, traditionally and still view and realize their success through the unaltered lens of being able to support themselves and their families.
And while it is a politically incorrect subject to talk about, men who do not succeed at the economic and professional level suggested by society are considered failures.
All men feel this, and all men know this.
The women's movement earned a woman the just and hard-earned rights and yearnings to make autonomous choices about her own body and family life, as well as become more than just a stay-at-home mother without pay.
We were also allowed to venture into the world of men with all of the stresses that come with being professional bread-winners. But somehow along the way, more men started to fall behind and face a reality of anguish felt on a myriad of social, political and economic fronts.
Mental health experts also say that male depression is sometimes brought on and intensified by the fact that adolescence has been prolonged, with adulthood and independence reached at a much later age than previously thought.
Two generations ago, work began at the age of 14 and just one generation ago, work began at 16 years for most. But today, most young men do not achieve financial independence until their mid-20s, if even then.
This real need to be further reliant and supported leads, say psychologists, to a general feeling of low self-worth, malaise, dependence upon other males they are unable to lean on for support, and an youth-endowed emasculation.
On an entirely different note, many men suffer at the hands of women.
It's true . . . not only women are beaten down emotionally, spiritually and even physically by their partners.
One of the things I hear most from men is that they feel unvalued and unheard by the women in their lives, beginning in infancy from their own mothers, and yet the biggest complaint that I hear from women is that "men do not communicate well."
The response by many men is that they have either "given up" talking because "what they say does not matter," or because they never learned how to communicate their feelings in the first place.
One girlfriend of mine, I may soon lose, has a memorized response to her husband. "You're all the same," she says, as she shoos him away. "You have no idea what it's like to be a woman, so your opinion isn't wanted here."
I suspect that after 15 straight years of hearing this, he has gotten the point to both shut up and shut down.
There is nothing that men fear more than the feeling of rage and discontent from a woman. From the moment they look up at their mothers, they want to be loved and forever suckle on the mother love, and understandably so. At the same time, they want to protect their mothers, the women in their lives and "be the man of the family."
Young boys know this from a very early age.
They also know that if they share their intimate feelings, they risk being called sissies, fags, homos, girls and worse, looked at with disappointment and disdain—risking respect, admiration and homage.
I knew a boy whose father used to beat him "for his own good" because he didn't fight back at the bullies who had already beat him up on the playground on a regular basis.
He committed suicide at 21.
Being gay didn't help matters either as he was raised in a hyper-religious orthodox family who saw homosexuality as a sin that called for vengeance and humiliation.
Zachary told his boyfriend in a suicide letter:
Dear Ben,
I just want to be loved for who I am.
That is all.
I know how to love my family, and I know how to love you.
But I cannot make everyone or even anyone happy anymore, and the pain that I feel can no longer be calmed by alcohol, money or even you.
The reality of my suffering is too great and the days are too long, and for so many long years now that I cannot possibly string together all of the dark calendars in my mind.
Please forgive my leaving you to fend for yourself on this cruel earth.
I only hope that it will treat you with a kinder heart and hand than I was dealt.
And just know that I understand what you feel, what moves you and what moves me.
Until we meet again, I shall love you like no other man.
Your best friend,
His pain is the pain of many men; be they gay or straight, black or white, religious or agnostic, political or apathetic, young or old, crippled or walking, ill or well, married or single, poor or rich, and living or dead.
As the election waxes and wanes its heavy-laden politic on our every waking and dreamt moment, I shall remember that it is because of my grandfathers that allows me to sit and write this sentimental soliloquy.
From entirely different cultures and shore-bound grounded homes, they forged without failure the life that I am privy to both suffer and enjoy at each waking moment.
While one grandfather grew up homeless in a lean-to without a father or an education, another grandfather was placed in a boy's home after being severely abused by his father. Yet, they both forged on, plowed on, worked on, got on, fought on, and lived on with a seemingly fearless bounty of strength, humility and sound solace. Because of their breadth of courage, silent faith of man's mindful meaning, unspoken acts of sweet-shouldered love and battled-for-comforts, I am here today as I at once both mourn and celebrate their richness at every turn.
I shall leave you with this poem by Thomas Wolfe.
For, Brother, What are We?
We are the sons of our father,
Whose face we have never seen,
We are the sons of our father,
Whose voice we have never heard,
We are the sons of our father,
To whom we have cried for strength and comfort
In our agony,
We are the sons of our father,
Whose life like ours
Was lived in solitude and in the wilderness,
We are the sons of our father,
To whom only can we speak out
To strange, dark burden of our heart and spirit,
We are the sons of our father,
And we shall follow the print of his footprint forever.

Hi J.R. ,
Thank you for reading my article, I greatly appreciate your kind and thoughtful words, especially about your son.
Bravo, Francesca!
My heart ached when I read this…I've always felt that boys/men do suffer when the limelight shines on women…I know more abused men than women…we need a better balance. I'm trying to raise my son to be aware of this…he knows it's ok to cry.
This is amazing, Francesca—thank you for a powerful piece—makes me want to wrap my arms around all the men in my life and tell them how much I love them. Bryonie
Wow, Francesca, a truly powerful and well constructed piece regarding an issue that needs all of our attentions. I believe that women need to help in bringing the issues to light on behalf of the men who were told that it's wrong to bemoan. Thank you for this, Deborah
Give this to all your men. The Men's Commitment–I promise that, from this moment on, I will be proud to be male and will seek closeness and brotherhood with every other man of every age, race, nation, and class.
I will permit no slandering or disrespect or blaming of any man for the hurts which have been placed upon him, and I will seek to restore safety to all men to discharge these cruel hurts.
I will fight to end and eliminate the burdening of men with over-fatgue, over-responsibility, and coercion into armed service in which we have been brutalized, and forced to kill or be killed.
I will cherish my birthright of being a good, intelligent, courageous, and powerful male human.

amazing, neccessary, long overdue article, thank you!
Beautifully written. Thank you
I am the mother of three sons and for some of their life I was a s solo mum and I knew that what they needed was a father and that I was not it. I also knew from the moment that my boys were born that they were different to me and that it was my job to help them name and feel their feelings. I hugged them and told them I loved them all through their teenage years and even now when I see them I let them know they are loved and that I am proud of the men they have become. As mothers this is our job and fathers need to let them express their feelings too.
I remember when one of my sons was 3 or 4 and we were at a friends place and my sons got hurt and cried. Our friend told him to "harden up and not be a sissy"at which point I unleashed all my motherly fury upon him and told him to NEVER say that to one of my children again and that he ( my child) was entitled to express his emotions. I am sure my "friend"didn't quite no what hit him but until we all stand up and defend everyones rights to feel and express their emotions the world will limp along, wounded and broken.
this is an article that everyone needs to read. thank you, thank you!!
[…] further suggests that adolescent boys need to feel they're working towards something, whether it be an apprenticeship or university […]
At exactely this moment I am trying to save a boy from the rage of people who for some reason hate him so much that I sometimes fear for his life. They accuse him of not being able to see if somebody is capable of committing suïcide. Well, how many people can? And this boy just turned 18! He was bullied at school at the age of twelve and now people are calling him a liar for exaggerating his story, although there is proof that the school tried to help him, so the bullying in itself was real.
It hurts when I read some of the blogposts, even comments in national newspapers, that just breeze death to the young man. Violent innuendo's that noone can ever reply to. I can't understand why nobody stands up for him. I offered him my help, but I can understand he's reluctant to accept it. Just hope he's not on the internet too much.
I don't know much about him. He tried to stop people from bullying, I am trying to stop suïcide as a result of that. Reading this article really, really hurts. I could turn my back on Jeffrey, but that wouldn't help. I would blame myself for not being there if he gets hurt. Or for being there when he takes a last, disastrous decision. Therefore it's so important to stop bullying, intimidation – as it is the same – and all other behaviour that restricts children from growing up they want to be themselves. And I think I have a pretty good reason for that. I am the train driver, involuntarily taking their lives.

PAWTUCKET — The Tolman-Newtown high school baseball game that's scheduled for Saturday morning (11:30 start) at McCoy Stadium should be embraced as a celebration of the human spirit.
The non-league contest isn't intended to reopen still-fresh wounds or provide a semblance of closure to the cruel sequence of events that shattered the lives of those affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. This is an event that is woven in companionship while lending support, with the game of baseball serving as the common thread that brings everyone to the same table.
While the individuals directly responsible for making this special game a reality have received strong feedback ever since Tolman-Newtown was first publicized 2½ months ago, the message conveyed to the masses is still the same – come out and support this worthy cause. Tickets cost just $5, with all funds going directly to the Sandy Hook School Workers Assistance Fund.
"We invite the community to come out and really get behind this game," expressed Pawtucket Red Sox president Mike Tamburro. "I think everyone in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shootings wondered what they could do in some small way to lend assistance. This is an opportunity for us to come together and show our support for Newtown."
From one head baseball coach to another, Tolman's Theo Murray passed along that Newtown's Matt Memoli is chomping at the bit to take his team on a special sojourn to McCoy. The Nighthawks are planning to arrive at Ben Mondor Way Saturday at 10 a.m. Dattco, the bus company the PawSox utilize, will go down to Connecticut to pick up the team that morning and provide transportation home.
"From what (Memoli) has told me, the community down there is pumped," said Murray, who deserves kudos as the game's originator – he's the person who contacted Memoli and voiced his kind-hearted intentions to Tolman athletic director John Scanlon and Tamburro, both of whom wasted little time in setting the wheels in motion. "The (Newtown High) kids have gone online and looked at the stadium. They're really excited to come up and play."
The game will feature several sponsors: M. Barboza & Sons Roofing and Sheet Metal Company, Inc., Pawtucket Teachers Alliance, Murray Paint & Wallpaper, Seekonk Little League, and Tolman High School. Acting independently, Murray succeeded in raising $600 that he proudly dropped off at McCoy Stadium earlier this week.
"I left it open-ended. Anybody who wanted to make a donation, they would get a T-shirt," Murray said. "It actually worked out pretty good."
In return for their generosity, each sponsor received tickets for Saturday. Scanlon mentioned that the $500 donation made by Tolman's athletic department resulted in 100 tickets that were distributed to the school's spring teams.
The R.I. Professional Firefighters Pipes & Drums ceremonial band will be on hand at McCoy as part of the pregame festivities. Greetings from Pawtucket Mayor Donald R. Grebien will come in the form of a "keys to the city" presentation to the Tolman and Newtown ballclubs. The Pawtucket Police and Fire Departments will also be present.
In keeping with what usually takes place prior to a PawSox home game, there will be a ceremonial first pitch followed by the national anthem performed by a Tolman High student. Before the attention shifts to the action between the white lines, Murray's children, 11-year-old Cameron and 9-year-old Ally, will declare that it's time to "Play ball!" into the microphone.
While the weather could prove problematic, Murray says that everyone should be prepared to sit tight in the event the game doesn't begin at 11:30.
"Connecticut is like Massachusetts; every game they schedule, they have to play it," the Tigers mentor pointed out. "We're literally going to hang around all day if we need to in order to get this in."
Murray said that he's received strong interest from the Rhode Island high school umpires, who plan to donate their time (the size of the crew could range anywhere from four to six, which is commonly seen during Major League Baseball's postseason). The teams will be allowed to liberally substitute without having to report to the home plate umpire. The 10-run mercy rule has been waved as seven innings are scheduled.
Memoli's roster includes 19 players while Murray plans to dress around 18. Every single Tolman player is expected to see time.
Once the final out is recorded, members of the PawSox, Tigers, and Nighthawks will gather underneath the barbeque tent located down the right-field line. Undoubtedly, the Newtown folks will express gratitude, with the hosts responding, "It was our sincere pleasure."
For those whose interest is piqued, the ticket office at McCoy will be open beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday with the gates opening at 10:30.
"I've heard from so many groups of organizations and people saying that they're going," Murray said. "We hope that it's a huge turnout."
Question is: will you be present to support this worthwhile endeavor?

This page introduces the dental specialty of resorative dentistry.
Restorative dentistry encompasses the mono specialties of endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics, providing care for patients with complex problems involving the restoration of function and ensuring an aesthetic, healthy and pain-free dentition. Many patients have particular needs with congenital or acquired facial defects, medical problems or learning difficulties that have implications for their care.
Within restorative dentistry, there are opportunities for challenge in a rapidly changing clinical scene. Skills range from those involving the management of patients with special clinical needs and the care of people with periodontal diseases, which involves surgical, non-surgical and clinical skills. Opportunities also exists within the dental material sciences in this specialty and in the technical skills involved in fixed and removable prosthodontics together with implant technology. Care involves balancing the value of technical expertise against the particular needs of patients in a constantly changing research arena.
It is now possible to gain training in the specialties of endodontics, periodontics or prosthodontics. Following completion of the training programme and satisfactory acquisition of the membership in restorative dentistry in the mono specialty, the trainee will gain access to the appropriate specialist list held by the General Dental Council.

Comments about Axl Mayhem Wavepoint Electric Guitar:
If you play metal or death metal this the guitar for you, It's better than my higher priced "metal guitars". It has a dark and low rhythm sound on the bridge pick up, and singing leads on the neck.I went through a lot of guitars to find the best metal one and this is it!! It looks as good as the picture, the inlays look awesome! The only thing that bothers me is the top (upper bout) pokes into my chest when playing when sittingBesides that, there's not much bad I can say about this guitar put some ultra thins on it, adjust the action to what you like (very close)I play it straight thru my Peavey Ultra 212 Tube amp60 watts and it shakes the house!! Tube amps are the way to go!If you thinking about buying this get it!!!
Comments about Axl Mayhem Wavepoint Electric Guitar:
WOW this guitar is sweet! it has a great body design and is lightweight. It has a really fast neck and a tune 0 matic bridge which is sweeet! The pickups are the only down side, they are too low end sounding to me. Overall this is a sweet axe and I would defenitely recommend it.
Comments about Axl Mayhem Wavepoint Electric Guitar:
This is not for playing in your church,but if you want to rock HARD, this is it. I replaced the bridge humbucher with a Dimarzio Evo and put on a roller nut system. She is loud and screams. She is as BAD as she looks. Cant beat the price. If you want to scare the neighbors, buy it.

• Results | 400 Hurdles Replay
MADISON, Wis. -- After watching her competition fall to the track, Egle Staisiunaite saw her own chances for another run at the Olympic Games fall agonizingly short, as well.The University of Wisconsin alumna ran to a fifth-place finish Sunday in the opening heat of the 400-meter hurdles in London, a section that saw two competitors stumble and fall.Staisiunaite clocked in at 57.79 seconds for her lap of the Olympic Stadium oval, but that time left her just shy of a top-four finish that would have assured her a spot in the semifinal round.Instead, she was left to watch the remaining four qualifying sections -- and the clock -- to see if she would be among the four athletes that would qualify for the semifinals on time. Staisiunaite's time was soon overtaken by runners in the subsequent heats, ending her first Olympics experience."I was very nervous," she told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I was not feeling very great. Maybe it was nerves, not having the experience."The unforgettable experience of competing at the Olympics has Staisiunaite eager to continue working on the track, however."I want to keep training, so we'll see what happens," she said.Her post-collegiate training peaked in late June, when she ran a personal-best time of 56.58 at the 2012 European Championships in Helsinki. That performance gave Staisiunaite the Olympic qualifying standard needed to compete for her native Lithuania in London.It was a fantastic improvement for Staisiunaite, who concluded her Badgers career in 2011 with what was then a personal-best run of 58.37 at the NCAA outdoor championships.That performance ranks No. 2 all-time for UW, while Staisiunaite holds the Badgers' school record in the 100 hurdles at 13.45.

Associate Professor, Theoretical Chemistry
Associate Professor (b. 1958), received his B.S. Degree from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 1980. After two years of graduate study and one year in a consulting laboratory, he worked with Peter Pulay in quantum chemistry at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1987. He then enjoyed a four-year stint doing further research in quantum chemistry with Henry F. Schaefer III at the University of Georgia. Dr. Hamilton joined the Department of Chemistry at UAB in 1991.
Research Interests:
Our research involves the development of theoretical methods to study chemical systems by quantum mechanics, with an emphasis on techniques for studying larger molecules. Our research also includes the application of these methods to chemical systems. One example is the peroxynitrite molecule, which results from the reaction of nitric oxide (NO) with superoxide (O2 ). Peroxynitrite is a powerful oxidant that is implicated as causing damage in many pathological disease states. We have made exhaustive predictions of the vibrational spectroscopy of peroxynitrite and its salts, the UV- visible electronic spectrum, the NMR shifts, the energetics, and the reactions of peroxynitrite with other molecules such as carbon dioxide. Dr. Hamilton is also a member of the Center for Free Radical Biology Well, that concludes the standard description. If you have not been bored by the description, or repulsed by the photo, the following is a more detailed explanation of recent research projects, to give you an idea of what we are doing and what group members are up to. I also hope to make it visually more interesting in the future.Extensive Collaboration with:

Point Molate was developed by the California Wine Association in 1908, as a central winery for processing grapes from all over the state. The Winehaven Winery, as it was called, became the largest winery in the United States, producing 12 million gallons of wine and port per year at its peak, before being shut down during prohibition (though it continued to make sacramental wine until 1937). In 1942, the Navy purchased the 400 acre property for use as a fuel supply depot. Most of the fuel was kept in 20 underground concrete tanks, with a capacity of over 40 million gallons, built on the hillside above the winery. The facility was officially closed in 1998, and the City of Richmond is in the process of taking it over, once clean-up issues are resolved. 400 people worked at the winery, and the old housing was used and maintained by the Navy. The city would like to build a residential area as part of the redevelopment of the site, however, Chevron, seeking to limit their liability from possible toxic emissions from the adjacent refinery, is resistant. The future use of the old fortress-like main winery building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is still being debated. The Navy's administration building next door currently serves as offices for the IT Corporation and Tetra Tech, both working on the clean-up of the site.

Colorado lawmakers want pot industry bank option
DENVER (AP) -- A Colorado plan to set up the world's first financial system for marijuana has cleared its first hurdle in the state Legislature, despite deep reservations from supporters that the plan will work.
The bill approved by a House committee Thursday is prompted by frustration with recent marijuana banking guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department.
The measure would allow state-licensed marijuana businesses to create a financial co-op, sort of an uninsured credit union. The U.S. Federal Reserve would still have to grant permission for the co-ops to provide banking services like checking and credit.
Sponsors concede the plan is a long shot. But they say Colorado must try every option to move the pot industry away from its cash-only roots.

NORFOLK St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies arrested a Norfolk man on more than 70 counts of possessing and promoting child pornography Tuesday.
Deputies charged Tyler J. Harriman, 23, of 281 Marsh Road, with 37 counts of possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child and 37 counts of promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, all felonies.
On Feb. 5, deputies said, they executed a search warrant at Mr. Harrimans parents Marsh Road home. During the search, deputies, along with Department of Homeland Security special agents, seized numerous computers and electronic devices that were analyzed forensically by the agents for the child pornography.
Deputies alleged that his Dell laptop computer contained the obscene material. He was arraigned in Pierrepont Town Court and was released on his own recognizance.
Information about the ages of the children in the images deputies found was not available.
The investigation continues and additional charges are pending.

WASHINGTON -- Ashwin Veeramani, of North Royalton, conquered "conquistador," and he aced "acotyledon" at the 2013 Scripps National Spelling Bee-becoming one of 42 kids to advance to Thursday's semifinals.
But the 13-year-old - a 7th grader at Incarnate Word Academy - was stumped by "amimia".
"It felt great to make it to the semifinals. I kind of wasn't as nervous as I was yesterday," said Veeramani.
"I had never seen the word before," he said, but thought he "could piece it together," by asking the definition and origin.
Veeramani missed one letter in the word, which means the loss or impairment of the power to communicate or use facial expression to convey emotion because of facial paralysis or other cause. "It was pretty crushing but I kind of felt like I did try my best ... and that's all I can do."
Veeramani, a black belt in Tae Kwon Do who likes to read the Wall Street Journal, was among the 30 or so spellers knocked out in Thursday's competition, before the final round.
He said he spent 20 to 25 hours per week studying and preparing, saying spelling helps him be "focused and disciplined."
Competitive spelling runs in his family. His older sister, Anamika, won the bee in 2010.
He says he plans to make another try next year.
Twelve spellers will advance to tonight's finals.
The winner will take more than $30,000 in cash and prizes.
This year's bee included the first vocabulary tests in the competition's history. The scores were combined with the onstage rounds to determine which spellers advanced.

Becoming desensitized within the digital maze of images, trends & ideas, where 'what's hot' becomes 'what's not' in the blink of an eye, is pretty much de rigueur. As a fashion label formulated from the Zeitgeist of responsible Capitalism Red Vatican is a pause for thought within this 'maze' of unrelenting change. Their slogan 'Wear Your Dreams' is a metaphoric call to arms sent out to consumers who demand accountability in the stylish realities they themselves construct.
Collaboration and interactivity are terms which are integral to Red Vatican's DNA. Their garments will come from four emerging UK based fashion talents, picked from a pool of entrants each year. Their credo calls for locally produced, limited edition lines, while bringing together creative talents and forces from around the world to play various roles in their production – C-Heads Magazine has been invited to be a panellist for their designer selection process. In essence, Red Vatican is a designer fashion label with an ethical backbone. Red Vatican's aim is to work with emerging designers in order to produce unique, limited edition collections. They are also interested in collaborating with and supporting creatives from other disciplines. Well, we are very excited to be part of such a wonderful project from the start and we really can´t wait to see the collection!

Lovely and professional looking...but kinda sticky! Sofia from Saint-Eustache, QC on 10/01/2014 – Verified Buyer
I purchased this pan as a set of 3, to give one each to my mother and mother-in-law and keep the last for myself. It is a good size pan with a good weight to it, and the look is very professional, bringing to mind the sturdy pans used by tv chefs. Despite the aesthetically pleasing look of the pan though, when it comes time to cook the pan falls short of perfect. Turning the burner above medium will pretty much guarantee that whatever you're cooking will stick and burn faster than you can anticipate. I suppose that says a lot about efficient heat distribution, but it's pretty inconvenient to have to either use way too much oil/fat or keep the burner on low (and even that doesn't guarantee your food won't stick). Admittedly the pan was very reasonably priced, less than 30$ each if I remember correctly, but despite the bargain this is one purchase I would not strongly recommend for the busy family cook.

MIT issued an apology after a blunder about student admissions.
The prestigious school sent an email to applicants last week about financial aid, with a line at the bottom that told students they were admitted.
The email was a mistake. Many applicants are still waiting for a final admission's decision, and the message raised false hopes for those students.
MIT officials say the error occurred after a staff member was advised to consolidate email lists.

Wolo Bad Boy Auto Horn is rated out of 5 by 1.Rated 5 out of 5 by Clay from Nice Tone Very nice dual tone. Seems to be louder than the puny factory horn. Plugged right into existing wiring.

Any enterprise considering a move to the cloud must understand that the benefits - lower costs, robust scalability and autonomy from constrained IT and development resources - can be short-lived without a plan that places cloud computing in the context of its overall business strategy and affects security, performance, and connectivity.
The goal of a Service Oriented Architecture is increased IT adaptability, reduced cost of application development and maintenance, and better alignment between Information Technology and Business users. The ultimate benefit of a SOA is better information – and better information benefits business users.

CENTER STAGE> Fifteen52 Volkswagen Jetta Variant
COVERAGE> Gymkhana Block Party!
For those who don't know, gymkhana is kind of like a cross between autocross (slalom/solo racing in a parking lot, in a course laid out with cones) and drifting. Back before I started working the media end of the drifting scene, I was pretty active in driving at autocross events. It's fun, it improves your driving skills, and it's not too expensive.
Ken Block isn't the first person to try to organize a gymkhana event though. Erik Jacobs from DG Trials in Atlanta GA was the first person that I had ever heard of trying to make a series of drifting and gymkhana events... this was back around 2004 or so, when drifting was just beginning to blow up! To put things in perspective, back then, Vaughn Gittin Jr was still working on getting sponsored by Falken, and he was driving an S13 240SX, not a Ford Mustang! Read more...
NEWSWORTHY> Ken Block to Switch Ovals
Peanut butter and jelly. Macaroni and cheese. Ham and burgers. What do these things have in common? It seems nearly impossible to have one without the other. Ken Block and Subaru also share this likeness. Regardless, it seems that Ken is leaving the Japanese Pleiades Oval for that of the classic American Blue Oval.
DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 6, 2010 – Ford Motor Company announced today that it is teaming up with Ken Block, the California-based action sports icon-turned-rally driver, for future global motorsports opportunities.
Block, the 2005 Rally America Rookie of the Year and a three-time medalist at X Games, has cultivated a tremendous following with his Gymkhana videos on YouTube. In 2010, Block will campaign a Ford Focus in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) and a Ford Fiesta in Rally America and X Games.
"I am stoked to be rallying in a Ford. They are an impressive force in the sport," said Ken Block. "From the days of the 1970s Escorts to the Group B RS200 to the modern-day Focus and now the Fiesta, Ford just does an excellent job at rally and I couldn't be happier to now be part of this amazing heritage. Not to mention my dad would be proud. He was a dedicated Ford guy."
"Ken Block has established himself as an action sports competitor and a rising star in the world of American rally racing," said Jamie Allison, director Ford North America Motorsports. "We are excited to have him on our team to help promote our new global products, the 2011 Ford Fiesta and 2012 Ford Focus."
Rallying is a crucial part of Ford's global motorsports strategy and provides the company with the opportunity to showcase the true performance capabilities of Ford's products. Since its support of rallying began, Ford has won three WRC titles and 73 individual events. And, last year in North America, Ford's participation in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and X Games 15 were key elements for the launch of the Ford Fiesta for the U.S.
"Thanks to our participation in WRC, rallying has always played a key role in Ford's global motorsports programs," said Allison. "Ford is the only manufacturer that could provide Ken with global rally opportunities."
"We're delighted that Ken Block has chosen to team up with Ford to develop his rallying activities beyond America and into the global arena," said Gerard Quinn, Ford of Europe's senior motorsports manager. "Ford and its U.K.-based rally partner, M-Sport, is looking forward to welcoming Ken to the wider team of talented rally drivers using Ford vehicles to compete in this demanding sport at the highest level internationally."
While it may seem implausible to imagine Ken piloting anything but a Subaru… something tells me that his wild antics and crazy style will follow suit behind the wheel of a Ford.
Best of luck to Ken and his crew in 2010!

NEWSWORTHY> DC x Ken Block Gymkhana Video 2 is up!
It seems that everybody has been talking and Twittering about the much anticipated release of DC Shoes Founder/rally driver extraordinaire Ken Block's new "Gymkhana 2" video.
We just wanted to show everyone this link – it's finally up! Ken Block shows us all how hard he rips it in his new Subaru Impreza WRX STi! Instead of having members of his DC Snowboard team grind off of his carbon fiber WRC Impreza wing, Ken decided to inject a little bit of Hollywood into his newest viral video – aside from having a cameo appearance by Rob Dyrdek (DC skater, star of MTV's Rob & Big and Fantasy Factory), it's complete with explosions, crash test dummies, cool near misses with big rigs, cranes, pylons, and umm… he also comes really close to driving his car right off the dock, right into the water.
We wonder when he's gonna take some time out of his already busy schedule (and full Rally America season) to compete in the Formula Drift series..? What do you guys think? Would you rather watch Ken Block at rally events or at drifting events?

Bad Anal Experience :(
Ok, my b/f and I have been together for almost 3 years. We have sex at least 5 days a week. We only have anal sex about once a month. However, the last time we had anal was about 6 months ago. And it was a BAD experience on my part! It felt great and I always enjoy anal but when we were done and he pulled out, a little turd came out! It was really small, no bigger than a little rabbit turd, but still it was NOT COOL!! He was fine with it, he didn't make a big deal of and frankly, I was more upset than him. And, needless to say, we don't have anal anymore. I'm afraid to bring it up, because I don't want him to bring up the last time.
- Asked by A Thinker, Female, 26-28, Self-Employed
Your story reminded me of something that happened to my best friend. My friend had anal with an ex, and she did it as much as you did...about once a month. One night they had anal....I think the lights were out or something like that. Anyways, after they finished...her boyfriend wiped himself with a sock....and when the lights went on, they both saw a lot of shit. LoL. And you know what...he didnt care. He just laughed it off. The truth is...GUYS JUST DONT CARE. Us girls care about stuff more than guys. Guys just shrug it off. After what happened to my friend, I asked my hubby if that was to happen to us what he would do. All he said was that he would wash himself off and keep going. Dont let it get to you....he probably forgot about it.
- Response by traysmiles, A Married Girl, Female, 29-35, Home Maker
Ok this is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to me in years and I am going to share it with you in hopes that you feel better. Me and my bf were doing it anal and it was great! I didn't notice anything weird during the act but I felt a little wetter then I usually do. I figured he used more lube, no big deal. When we were done we were wiping off and I smelled what I thought was his fart. Then as I'm wiping off I'm thinking oh no poop came out. I was thinking a little bit came out when I squatted to wipe. So I joke with him like ahh your dick is so big it made me poop ha ha ha. Next thing I know we realized it was everywhere. It was on the bed were we started out, on the floor from us moving around, on the pillows, the clothes that were on the floor. I even put my hair in it during the act. By accident of course but when I did I thought it was just a wet spot from lube which is what I thought was dripping off me but it was really poop. The worst part was that it was not a poop nugget it was runny and smelly. I didnt even feel like I had to poop before we started or I wouldnt have done it anal. My guy was totally cool about it. He said shit happens and it did. It took me 2 days to feel normal again after that embarrassment but he didn't even seem to care. I'm sure your guy is cool about it 2.

People who engage in anal sex have to realize that shit happens, pun intended.
- Response by billy498, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55, Who Cares?
Guys don't really care they are able to wash up afterwards. You are making to much out of it. It happens once in a while. just move your boyfriend will just be happy to get anal sex.

Bronze axe-head
Luristan culture, 10th-7th centuries BC
From Luristan, western Iran
The style of this cast bronze axe-head links it to the region of Luristan in western Iran. Bronzes of this kind were plundered from the cemeteries and shrines of the area from the 1920s onwards. Many of the graves were rich in bronzes, and even the poorest male graves appear to have contained a few weapons.
The blade of this axe is set at an angle that made it impractical for use, so it was presumably made specially to be left either in a grave or as a votive offering in a shrine or sanctuary. The symbolism of the animal forms is a mystery, as there are few inscriptions from this region. Similar spike-butted axes are known from the twelfth century BC, but spikes tipped with bird, human or, as here, animal heads developed between 1000 BC and 700 BC. In this example the blade emerges from the jaws of an unidientified animal.
The mountains of western Iran were home to a long tradition of metalworking. By the first millennium BC the kingdom of Elam, which had dominated Luristan, was weakened and the bronze workers of Luristan were free to develop their industry. The decline in the production of Luristan bronzes, some time in the later seventh century BC, was possibly due to the growing political unity of the Medes and Persians and their increasing influence on the area.

Maori Culture
New Zealand has an incredibly rich and dynamic history and culture. It is thought that only the birds lived here before around 1400 AD so all of our human history is fairly recent. Our Maori heritage in particular is as much about the here and now as it is about the past. Yes, you can learn a lot about this amazing culture by visiting many of our museumsandart galleries but you can also do so simply by pulling up a chair and sharing a quiet moment with someone who will quite likely be able to trace their lineage (whakapapa) back to the very first canoes to ever land here.
Maori People
Maori are the tangata whenua, the indigenous people, of New Zealand. They came here over 1000 years ago from their mythical Polynesian homeland of Hawaiki. Today Maori make up 14% of the population and their culture and language sit at the heart of New Zealand life and society.
You'll notice that most of the place names are Maori and you're bound to hear te reo – the Maori language. There would be few New Zealanders who do not recognize – and use – common Maori terms and phrases. You'll probably pick a few up yourself. Start with 'kia ora' – hello, and you won't go wrong. And you're bound to have seen the haka probably performed by the All Blacks, New Zealand's rugby team, before a match. Like most things in Maori culture there is a mana and significance to the haka that is much deeper than outside appearances.
If you'd like to experience Maori culture, head to the areas where Maori culture and lifestyle is strongest. In Rotorua, there are organized tours that will give you a traditional welcome onto a marae where you will then be introduced to traditional Maori song, dance and haka and be given a feed of kai moana from the men who've gone out fishing.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — For the first time in 19 starts this season, Matt Fox, the lone PawSox ambassador to the 2011 Triple-A All-Star Game, made it through a full seven innings Sunday afternoon.
Every segment after that constituted a long-awaited combination of a package, wrapping paper and a radiant bow addressed to his relievers. Fox upped his pitch count from 79 to 90 as he tossed a 1-2-3 eighth, then returned to the mound for a nimble ninth that ended with Brandon Hicks stranded on first base and the Sox victorious over the Gwinnett Braves, 5-0, at Coolray Field.
"Our bullpen's been throwing a lot recently," said Fox. "So I thought, 'They're going to give me every opportunity to try to finish the game' and they did. It was good to give the bullpen the day off."
Dating back to a 13-3 shellacking at the hands of the Durham Bulls July 16, the PawSox are now on a five-game winning streak when Fox starts. He has claimed credit for three of those wins, including each of the last two, and finished with pitch count no lower than 90 and no higher than 99.
"He was very efficient today," said manager Arnie Beyeler. "He gave himself an opportunity to throw the complete game today. He got some quick outs, really mixed his pitches well and worked ahead in the count. He also had some really good defense behind him."
Fox finished Sunday having thrown 99 pitches, a whopping 71 of them for strikes. He allowed merely four baserunners, authorizing two hits, doling out one walk and watching Jeff Fiorentino reach first on a fielding error by first baseman Lars Anderson.
On the other side of the ball, nearly every batter contributed to the relatively quick demise of Braves starting southpaw, Yohan Flande. Flande was forked out in favor of Ben Swaggerty with men on and nobody out in the sixth.
By that point, six different players had combined for seven hits. Of the three who haven't hit off of Flande, Ryan Lavarnway walked and reached base on an error while Ryan Kalish drove in a run on a sacrifice fly.
Daniel Nava set the tone for a fruitful second inning with a leadoff home run to left-center. Brett Carroll and Hector Luna followed up with a double and single, respectively, to left field. Nate Spears' sacrifice fly to the right-field warning track scored Carroll from third, augmenting the edge to 2-0.
The Sox ran on a similar sugar rush in the fourth inning, once again nailing three hits in succession and cultivating two more runs. After Spears and Jose Iglesias each batted their way on, Che-Hsuan Lin sent an opposite-field single to right, scoring Spears from second and sending Iglesias to third for a 3-0 lead in the fourth.
Following up on that, Kalish's sacrifice fly sent Gwinnett right fielder Stefan Gartrell far enough on the run to score Iglesias for a 4-0 lead.
After Swaggerty came on in the sixth, Kalish likewise drove in the fifth run on a sacrifice to left that sent Spears home from third.
"We've had a lot of team efforts," said Beyler off his more-balanced-than-star-studded offense. "We haven't been tearing the cover off the ball, but we ran the bases well to get ourselves in position and our batters executed."
Three Gwinnett relievers instantaneously stifled the Pawtucket bat rack. Swaggerty, J.J. Hoover and Dustin Richardson combined to allow only one hit (a single by Anderson) in four full innings-pitched.
But the damage was already done and it was on Fox and Co. to keep things status quo. Spears, who hit 2-for-2 off of Flande and turned both of his hits into runs, pointed to Fox after the game and proclaimed, "This is the man right here. He got the job done, not me. He put up a zero every inning. It was a great team win."
After the Sox had finished scoring, Fox went out and tossed three straight 1-2-3 innings. The nine unanswered outs included a popup, only one fly ball into the outfield, five grounders and two strikeouts.
In the ninth, Hicks deposited a one-out single to right field. But Kalish caught a fly by Stefan Gartrell and a liner by Mauro Gomez to polish off the gem.
"It was fun," said Fox. "I had good defense behind me, I was able to get ahead of each batter, Lavarnway called a good game, he just rolled with it.
"They're a good-hitting team, but I feel like I got ahead of them a good amount and tried to put them away."
With the win, the PawSox are assured of at least a split in this four-game set, which concludes Monday night. Accordingly, the G-Braves, who are similarly jockeying for either the wild card or their respective division, cannot finish the series any closer to Pawtucket on the I.L. leaderboard than they were on Friday.
But with a win Monday, and in turn a series win, the Sox can significantly broaden the gap from its original 1.5 to 3.5 games.
Not that Beyeler is letting himself or his pupils get wrapped up in those secondary effects just yet.
"We've got 30 games left, or something like that," he said. "We've got to show up to play the rest of the season and just keep playing good baseball and the rest of that stuff will take care of itself."

St. John Neumann High students celebrate school's many blessings with prayer circle
NAPLES - Students and staff at St. John Neumann High School had a lot to be thankful about Friday.
It was the end of the first week of school.
They had a gorgeous new courtyard complete with a 25-foot-tall Celtic cross and a new physical education and fitness center.
And there was cake.
Neumann celebrated its many blessings Friday with a Celtic Prayer Circle around the new cross. It was the first formal event around the cross since it was erected this summer, said Donna Heiser, director of development at St. John Neumann High School.
During the ceremony, the students said prayers for those who will benefit from the use of the new facilities, those that made the dream possible, the safety of student athletes and for the school community.
The Celtic cross is a widely-used Christian symbol, said Father Gerald Critch, pastor at St. Peter the Apostle Church in East Naples, who was on hand for the ceremony.
"The cross has a history stretching further back than Christianity. According to Irish legend, St. Patrick created the cross by drawing a circle around a Latin cross to represent the Pagan moon goddess, possibly in an effort to convert the pagans of Britain to Christianity. However, to Irish Catholics today, the circle can represent Christ's halo or the eternity and endless love," he told the students.
Junior Rachel Calhoun, 16, said the cross was a bit "overwhelming," but was excited for the ceremony.
"It's a great addition to our campus," she said.
Senior class treasurer Katey McCauley, 17, said the cross is great.
"It symbolizes our faith and what we're all about," she said.
The cross and the new physical education and fitness center are part of the school's $10 million Reaching the Dream campaign. The plan is to expand the campus to include a chapel, and the construction of a new student life center with an indoor dining area, art room, new media center and an assembly hall to allow for school events, such as performing arts and assemblies.
The school has raised $4 million to date, said Principal Denny Denison.
Phase 1 included the fitness center, which was really the catalyst to the campaign, said Heiser.
After the Celtic Prayer Circle, visitors to campus were given tours of the new fitness center, with its black weights and gleaming silver bars.
"Eight years ago when I came in, we needed a weight room," said Athletic director and Neumann football coach Steve Howie. "This is better than I have ever imagined."
The school plans to hold another event in front of the Celtic cross during Homecoming. Bishop Frank J. Dewane will officiate during a dedication ceremony for the new buildings and the Celtic Cross that is planned for Oct. 29.

I don't suppose there's a chance the mushroom or star tin would fit into the block tin....?
That's actually something I'd buy just to have one. I think I'll buy 100 and hope some of them have a green mushroom in it....or maybe a Yoshi! BAM!

The opening roll is an essential part of backgammon. Though there's really more than one way to play the four-one opening roll, we'll only deal with the two favorite plays.
There are actually four reasonable backgammon plays for the four-one opening roll. First is a 24/23 and a 13/9. Next one is a 13/9 and 6/5. After that is a 13/8. Last would backgammon play would be a 24/23 and a 24/20. We'll only discuss the two favorites among backgammon players since they appear to be more effective than the other two opening rolls.
The first two backgammon plays are the two favorite plays for the four-one opening roll. Each of these moves for this opening roll will be discussed individually. Make sure to take note of each move's advantages and disadvantages as they apply to the four-one opening roll.
By doing a 24/23 and a 13/9 play for this particular opening roll we are splitting the back checkers early in the game. By doing this play in the opening roll we are also bringing a builder from the 13-point (our mid-point). This appears to be the most popular/favored play for the four-one opening roll though a 13/9 and a 6/5 play doesn't really lag far behind.
Using a checker as a builder on the nine-point opens up a lot of point building opportunities once it's played. With the combination of splitting the back men, it makes a good chance to set up an advanced anchor in the opening roll. It also adds to your coverage of your opponent's outer board in a backgammon game.
By playing a 24/23, any blot on your opponent's side of the board becomes easy targets. This play for the four-one opening roll is a good set up to take control of the opponent's five-point (a must in your next roll if you have the chance). You need either a three-two or four-three to make that advanced anchor.
Most players are of the opinion that the 24/23 and 13/9 backgammon play involves less risk than a 13/9 and 6/5 play.
Let's take a look at the 13/9 and 6/5 play for this opening roll. This used to be the favorite play for the four-one opening roll. Players recoiled when they questioned slotting early in the game before an opponent makes home board points. It seems that the rewards for this play in the opening roll isn't worth the risks in a backgammon game.
By playing a 13/9 you're setting up to make a point on your backgammon home board on the opening roll. The strange thing is that you are also trying to accomplish the same thing when slotting the five-point by doing a 6/5 on this opening roll. A lot of backgammon players find that unnecessary and quite risky.
These are the two favorite plays for the four-one opening roll. The 24/23 and 13/9 is a safer play and the clear favorite while the 13/9 and 6/5 is for those who love to gamble on the opening roll. Take your pick, try out both and see which one will be your favorite play for this opening roll.
