How do I tell my internet friends I'm actually female?
So I joined this online group roughly 2 years ago for a specific purpose that I thought would be short lived. It's centered primarily around a sports team and I came there from a social media site where I remain anonymous. I like to remain anonymous online especially when talking about sports, because men can be very obnoxious when talking to women about sports.
My intention was never to still be in this group 2 years later but I am and I'm closer with them than ever. We talk about a lot more than sports and I trust them and enjoy their (online) company.
However, they assumed that I was male from the start, and because of previously addressed concerns I never corrected them. It's been 2 years and now I feel like I'm in too deep to finally correct the record, but I want to because it's starting to really bother me.
There are now other females in the group and I feel stupid pretending. Also, they're talking about doing a voice chat and there is no way I can do that without revealing I'm actually female, but I want to talk to them. This is by far the stupidest problem I have ever created for myself, but I really don't know how to go about telling them the truth. I feel like they might feel betrayed (even though I never actually ever said I was a guy, I just never corrected their assumptions, which I know is still wrong) and I don't want to lose or damage the relationships.
How do I tell my internet friends I'm actually female without damaging/losing the relationship?

You mention men in general. In the 2 years with these men have there been sexist red flags that you ignored then forgot about? Are they overly flirtatious with the new women, or otherwise treat them differently? Have some of them told you personal guy-to-guy-only things? How much do you think your "lie" mattered in those 2 years?
– Owen Reynolds
Did you ever actually claim to be male? or did they just assume it?
– RedSonja
They seem pretty progressive based on our interactions and I trust them not to be harassing or misogynistic toward me, since they haven't been to any of the other women who are active and when one of the women reported harassment in one instance they banned the guy who did it very quickly.
– anonymous idiot
@anonymousidiot It sounds like they were joking when they mentioned you possibly "lying" to them, so it probably doesn't actually mean that they will feel lied to :)

I had a similar situation when I was a teenager - an online friend who didn't give any indication to her gender, so we all assumed she was male, and she never bothered to correct us. One day, she said something about her personal life that indicated her gender, which surprised me in particular, and I incredulously asked "[username], are you a girl??"
She just laughed and was like "yeah" and the conversation moved on. My reaction became a bit of a running joke in that group, but it was more at my expense than at hers, and otherwise it didn't really matter what her gender was.
My suggestion is to just join the voice chat, and let people come to the conclusions they come to. Someone might have a reaction like mine, in which case you can just laugh and respond with a simple "yeah I'm a woman." If anyone asks why you never corrected anyone, just a simple "oh, it never really bugged me, so I just never bothered to correct anyone" is enough. Downplay the importance and let the conversation move on.
This answer is predicated on some assumptions that you need to take into account for your situation. If some of these assumptions don't apply, then this is not the best answer for you.
You actually aren't bothered by people using he/him pronouns for you, and would be okay with that going forward. There is entirely the possibility that, even after a voice chat, no one addresses it and everyone continues using male pronouns.
You don't think anyone in the group will particularly have a problem with it. As in, like, they're giving out negative vibes rather than neutral ones, I guess. If you think someone's going to have a problem with it, making a bigger deal of it yourself beforehand, to avoid surprises, is probably a good idea.
This isn't a particularly progressive space. This answer relies on using some cisnormative assumptions in your favor (higher vocal resonance = woman, in particular), but those assumptions aren't always true, and if you're in a crowd that is cognizant of trans issues, then they may not make those assumptions. For the record, nowadays, if I were in the same situation I was as a teenager, I would not come to the same conclusions I came to then. The evidence of "this person has never had a problem with male pronouns" would have overshadowed "this person is talking about an experience that men don't usually have" because now I know that men do have those experiences.

A variant of this would be to just open the voice chat, with "hey, it's me StupidR, just to clear that up before anyone gets confused: I'm actually a girl/female - as you might perhaps guess. Sooo how's everyone?!"
– Frank Hopkins
I second the sentiment of "don't make a big deal out of it." If you make a big deal out of it, they are guaranteed to make a big deal out of it. If you don't make a big deal out of it, there's a good change chance everyone just corrects their assumption in their head and moves on.
– The Guy with The Hat
I agree with this answer, I think this is the best way to go. If you don't want to risk a bad reaction while on voice chat, you could also just correct the next person who uses male pronouns in text. "Actually, I'm a 'she'," and if they ask why you never said anything before, as above just say it wasn't a big deal in your mind, but btw, girl.
– Steve-O
Since you mentioned trans people, I should say that the "I'm actually a woman" conversation is not limited to anonymous online chats and can also happen with in-person friends :P
– Kyle Delaney
@KyleDelaney: Right, but from experience, an in-person "actually I'm a woman" conversation is really different :P I mean, would that it were as simple as "oh, his voice changed, guess we misinterpreted and she's actually a girl" lol
– Tesset
There is no way of knowing for sure how they'll react to it, but being upfront and honest about it, while stating your reasons and apologizing for keeping it a secret for this long is probably the best way to go.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand, initially you were unsure of how they would treat you knowing you're female. Then as time went on, you just "went along with it" and didn't really know what to do. But now, knowing them much better and with other females in the group, you know that there are not the kind of people you were worried about and feel comfortable revealing your secret.
Telling your friends these reasons will help them understand your motivation (or lack thereof to tell them). Stating these reasons, while apologizing and highlighting that you genuinely enjoy their company, you probably have a good chance of them accepting your true identity. Without other females in the group I'd be a lot more worried about a negative reaction, seeing how common online misogyny and harassment are, but it seems that they are completely fine with it.
A few years ago I was in a similar situation, where a group of online friends thought I was a lot older than I actually was and this strategy worked out well.
Lasse MeyerLasse Meyer
I wouldn't even say it's necessary to apologize, as opposed to simply explaining.
@chrylis-cautiouslyoptimistic- it depends on the reaction. Some people might be quite upset because they feel it was a deception, so an apology would help in that case. It's possible nobody will be mad and an apology won't be necessary, though.
– Kat
I definitely wouldn't apologise, leading with an apology implies you did something wrong and can push people towards feeling betrayed even if they would have had no objection to it initially.
– DBS
I agree with the comment about apologizing - if you didn't intend to mislead, then no apology is necessary. I would, however, if someone complains, then take that step. And an upvote for being honest... that alone gets an upvote from me.
– baldPrussian
I say you could keep a carefully worded apology on the cards. There shouldn't be one needed, but an apology can explain not that you're in the wrong but that nevertheless they feel deceived, and you don't want any hard feelings.

While I wasn't in a similar situation myself directly, I had an (online) friend that found himself in a similar situation. I tended to present much more aggressively ("male", some would say), but I was also quite outspoken so if somebody I expected to stick around assumed wrong (or even worse, expressed utter surprise that a "girl is playing videogames"), I'd have no problem correcting them (occasionally accompanied by a mild profanity to hammer in the point) right off the bat.
However, I had a very gentle and introverted friend that, especially next to me, presented very much like a female. I'm not sure if he was quite sure where he stands on his gender and sexuality at the time, and I think a somewhat gender-less world of online gaming suited him because of that. His natural way of expressing himself was also very gender-neutral, he would join the voice chats required to coordinate gameplay, but never actually talk (only the leader really needs to talk, the rest just need to listen and written acknowledgements are fine).
So he found himself in a situation very similar to yours -- he simply didn't correct a lot of his casual acquaintances. Which was fine until he became a close friend with another player and felt this got in the way of their friendship. He eventually went for the direct approach suggested in the other answers. They simply had a conversation.
I think what made it easier was realising that if his friend didn't want to continue this platonic relationship after he told him he was male or couldn't sympathise with why he didn't correct him straight away, then this is probably a friendship he doesn't want to continue himself either. So it might help you to think about what you are really worried would happen: damaging your relationship because you lied, the relationship changing once they find out you are female, or just drawing attention to yourself, all of the above or something completely different.
Still, in his situation it was only one person that he really cared about correcting, and for you it's a whole group. It takes a lot of courage to announce something big like that in front of a group -- and it's normal that not everybody can muster the same courage in all situations. But maybe dividing the task into telling individual people might be less intimidating. It also seems you are talking about a forum-type site, so the communication is mostly asynchronous. You can write a message while you feel good and comfortable, and check for the answer only when you feel prepared. I would suggest starting slowly, with a member that you feel the closest with. Considering the nature of online communication, I'd go for something short like:
Hi, I actually wanted to tell you something pretty big. A couple of years ago when I started posting here, you all assumed I was a guy, and since I was insecure about how you would react, I didn't correct anybody. Now, two years later, I am really enjoying my time with all of you and I know nobody would've cared if I told you from the start, but it feels a bit intimidating to announce to everybody at once that I'm female. I'm telling you first so I could have some support if needed, but I'm figuring out a way to share this with everybody in the next few weeks. Hope you're okay with this?
Then wait for their response. If the community really is as open as you say, this will get you a small safe place of at least one person who knows, and then you can go from there. Find the next-closest person or a few of them, and send a message similar to above, replacing:
I'm telling you first so I could have some support if needed, but I'm figuring out a way to share this with everybody in the next few weeks.
with something like
I've only told SoccerFan64 for now, but am planning on telling the wider community in a few weeks. I hope you wouldn't mind keeping this between yourselves until I figure out how to do that?
After doing this a few times, it should become less stressful and you'll have explained the situation to the members you're closest with. At this point, you could continue contacting people personally, do something more community wide if you feel more comfortable, or just tell the people you already talked with that they don't have to feel like it's a secret any more, as you don't really want to draw attention to yourself by posting a new topic just to announce this, but will start correcting people from now on and let the information make the rounds naturally, or something along those lines. Or just joining the announced voice call and saying "surprise" while knowing there'll be a number of people there to confirm to everybody that you're not joking. Whatever you decide, I think it will be much easier to tell the "community" after you've told some individuals first.

If you lead with "I want to tell you something pretty big", it will be big. If you don't make it out to matter much, it may well stay very small. Both are valid strategies, as long as you realize that you are (likely) the one making it into something big by using phrasing like that.
– Jasper
If you make the reveal about yourself, then it will be about yourself. Sorry, I love tautologies. Sometimes I find they reveal more than they ought. If the reveal stands on its own, a sort of "Hey guys (and now gals), by the way, I'm female," it will resonate as such.
You say you sought to stay anonymous because you don't like how men talk about sports around women. You want to talk about it "like the guys," if I may phrase it that way. I think that's your clearest road.
If you want the reveal to go over as silently as possible, make it happen in the context of the sports conversation. Choose a time where the voice you want to have in the group is strong and loud, and then, make a smaller comment suggesting your gender. The idea is to tie the gender to the voice you want, rather than tying the gender to you and risk that shaping the voice you are permitted to have.
After the shock of the reveal is over, the sports conversation is still going. Don't let it change. Demonstrate that you are still the same voice you always were, before and after the reveal.
Or do you have a different voice you wish you could bring to the table? This would be a solid time to do so. You can add to your persona at this time, if you find it suits you. This is something I had to do in an online roleplaying game I played. I played a cis-female character, and the culture on that server was to strive to present your character's gender identity rather than your own to make the game more immersive. This had its own politics, of course, as female gamers were highly "prized" at the time (some actually respected the female gamers for who they were, but more than I like to admit merely "prized" them). Eventually, my group, who I had been running with for months, reached a strategic combat that was causing us lots of trouble. I have a strategic mind, but my roleplaying skills were limited. Roleplaying a female strategic genius is something that's totally doable, but my skills were still too limited to deviate that far from the far simpler traditional stereotypes.
So I ate some crow, and admitted to my gender. Then we went to win the combat using my strategies. After? Of course there were a few hurt feelings for my clever omissions. But very quickly I found myself surrounded by a group of friends who helped me learn better how to roleplay a female strategic persona, supported by the reality that they could always drop character to talk to the male me to help me understand nuances in roleplaying a more real female character that I otherwise would not have caught.

Whether you decide to have a specific conversation about it or just let the reveal happen naturally or never even reveal anything, there's something you should keep in mind.
You may be experiencing anxiety on your end about how you see your actions and how you're worried that others will see your actions, but you can try looking at this from your friends' perspective.
If you were them and you had a friend who you assumed to be one gender when actually they were a different gender, how would you feel? I suspect you would see it as your own mistake rather than an act of deception on their part.
I think that's likely how your friends will feel. If you can muster up the confidence to believe you did nothing wrong here then this whole situation could be more of a "silly me" on their part than an "oops I lied" on your part. This confidence could help calm and reassure you in whatever conversations you have moving forward.
Kyle DelaneyKyle Delaney
Hi Kyle! The way I understand your post, you're suggesting OP not to worry about it because that is their mistake to have assumed their gender from the start. While frame challenges are welcome on this site, we still need answerers to provide personal experience or literature citations to back up their advice. Could you please edit your answer to include it? Thanks in advance!

The North Face Men's Hedgehog Fastpack GTX Hiking Shoe is surprisingly light for how protective it is. Gore-Tex gives the Hedgehog waterproof, breathable protection, and PU-coated leather keeps the upper strong while mesh ensures breathability and reinforcements add durability.
The Hedgehog Fastpack GTX also features The North Face's Cradle Guide midsole for soft impact absorption and a firmer toe-off at each step. Cradle also includes a full-length EVA midsole for cush and a TPU shank for heel stability. Underneath, Vibram rubber keeps the sole grippy and durable.

I bought the Blue/Black version of this boot for $72 which was a great price for a solid boot. I've trouble to justify $120 for any boot. I've worn these thru the snow and deep puddles of NH for about a month and they have performed perfectly. Good support and very warm and comfortable. They will last for many years. I look forward to getting our on the trail and doing some hiking. Solid construction and excellent traction on rock and ice. Comfortable and light enough for everyday wear.
Context is important, I've owned 3 pair of Hedgehogs over the years. I'm middle aged athletic and my knees and back feel the years of abuse. About the shoes: first off, no shoe is perfect , I always purchase a better insole and the laces tend to wear out and that's the bad. That said...I wear my Hedgehogs whenever I can because when I do the pain goes away, simple as that. I'm no expert but I can only surmise that it's because of the structure, sole and support, that's my best guess. What I do know for certain is that the Hedgehog is light weight, water resistant, tough shoe that looks good on the street and are off-road friendly. In my honest opinion, the Hedgehog is the enduro motor cycle of shoes and I wear them as much as possible.
This shoe is quite durable and well made but depending on your foot bone structure you might need to put a certain kind of insole into it. other than that, it's a great product. Love the color combo i got. I'm a bigger guy so my shoes need quite a bit of support so my experience may differ from lighter individuals.
I got these shoes for the purpose of hiking, but I like them so much that I've been wearing them to the dog park and out on the town too! I like the low-cut design because they are casual enough for walking my dog, but sturdy enough for a good day hike. They are quite stiff at first and it look me a week or so to break them in a bit. Now that they have loosened up, I can wear them on an all day excursion with ease. The Vibram sole is a major advantage over similar hiking shoes, and the GTX membrane is icing on the cake. I found them to be true to size.
I have high arch with constant heel pain. These are the best shoes I found. I use a Sof Sole insert in them and can wear them all day long.
The only down side to this shoe is the laces.
If only they had theclick system like a fewyears ago or the pull to tighten, they would be the best shoes ever.
Currently wearing them full time since I'm in crutches and need grip.
Fit a bit small for me so I have to order up 1 size.
The best @ hiking AND standing!
I used this to go on small hikes and they do amazing, 6 or 7 miles is what I usually do, water and mud means nothing and at the end of the day I do wash them in the machine and they do great nothing happens to them. The materials are truly amazing and really strong. Very comfortable while just standing, good back support.
I have worn this model of North Face shoes for years. I don't use them for hiking per say but as an everyday shoe. The newer model with the Vibram sole has been a major improvement in the longevity of the sole. The waterproofness of the Gortex membrane lasts for most of the life of the shoe. The shoe is not as breathable as an unlined shoe but does not present any issues for me. I have used my "worn out" pair for biking and fishing for the most part , and the liner stays intact and waterproof. Even with the Vibram sole, don't expect a solid grip on smooth boulders or loose rock. This would be an ok shoe for trail use but would want something different for offtrail scrambling over loose rock or boulders. As an everyday shoe, they last for a very long time and will keep your feet dry.
I purchased these as a gift and he loves them. Super comfortable and rugged. They are a versatile hiking shoe good for established trails and streamline enough for running errands around town. The laces are a perfect short-medium length and not too long that they flop around.
A quality hiking shoe at a reasonable cost. I ended up buying them for light hikes, rainy concerts, and yard work. Feet stay dry and comfortable even through hours on my feet.
These shoes are so comfortable and have great tread.
My first pair of NorthFace shoe. extremely glad with this pair. Great fit and comfortable, right amount of cushion and rigid. good footing and happy with its water resistance. highly recommended.
just got them and wore a day. they are very comfortable, light-weight and look very nice. what is more important is waterproof .
Thanks for the great review Kalming!
North Face Hedgehog shoes were a product I came to count on. I've bought several iterations over the years, but no more. This year, the shoe features almost no support or cushioning, and they seem to have changed the shape of the foot they are trying to fit. I was extremely disappointed with these.
Just received these shoes and right out of the box, they fit perfectly. No break-in period necessary. Lightweight and well constructed. First time owning North Face shoes and most likely not the last!
I was stoked to unwrap my second pair of these today. I bought the first on recommendation from a local canyon guide, and it was some of the best advice I've ever gotten. I put the first pair through the obscene as far as terrain goes. They brought me down the side of a volcano and through a jungle in a rainstorm. Back home in Utah, I ran them through canyons, up shale fields, and put them on ice. I never had to question my footing. They offer more stability than a shoe should. The water resistance is good, but they don't take an eternity to dry if you soak them. The other thing is, I'm big. Like 240 lbs big. I burn through shoes like crazy. These held up longer than any other brand I've tried. Over the last decade I've had equivalent shoes from Merrell, 5.10, Keen, and Salomon. None of them measured up. The price point may be a bit higher, but I felt like they were a great value. Like I said, on my second pair, and hoping they'll still be around a couple years from now when I have to do this again.


Last weekend the kids & I went to the Woodcrest pumpkin patch in Lumberton with both sets of their grandparents.
We visited the face painting booth where Addy chose a black cat.
The kids & I went on a hayride.
And then they rode the train.
And Addy even got one around a pumpkin!
And they both played pumpkin toss.
And we went to the country store where Alex got a monster cookie & Addy got a dragon beanie baby.
Aren't these two siblings so so sweet!
On Friday, Alex & I met some friends at the St. Catherine's pumpkin patch here in Sienna.
Insta the Past Couple of Weeks!
I made Addy this weighted blanket.
We played hide n seek on the playground. Hmmm... Can anyone help me find Addy?
Alex & I went to the library & voted. Well, I voted & he got a sticker.
While at the library, we saw they were having a pumpkin decorating contest. Decorate a pumpkin as a book character. So we decided to participate & we chose Splat the Cat.
Addy went with me to drop Splat off at the library.
Alex & I went shopping for Halloween costumes.
Addy & I had a girl scout meeting.
We went to the Southminister Fall Festival. The kids had fun playing on the moonwalks & the playground.
Addy got BOOed by one of her sister girl scouts.
We also went to the pumpkin patch in Lumberton with both sets of grandparents & to the pumpkin patch in Sienna with our playgroup friends. A separate post on that will hopefully follow soon.
And there you have it. Life as we know it in the Strickland household.
Last week was Red Ribbon Week at SOE.
As most of you know, I signed Addy up for girl scouts & I volunteered to be a co-troop leader! We are part of a new Daisy troop with 10 girls that are all in Kindergarten at Addy's school. One girl is even in the same class as Addy.
Here's our troop at our first meeting.
Last Sunday, the 14th, our troop participated in the Yellow Rose Service Unit Girl Scout Investiture ceremony. (Which is basically a welcome to girl scouts ceremony.) The girls stood together as a troop, repeated the girl scout pledge & then we 'vested' them.
Troop 3124 after they got their vests & pins. Don't they look absolutley precious!
This was the first year that the service unit held this ceremony & I think it went great!
The gift had a stuffed black cat in the bag that she had picked out. I thought for sure she would want to keep the cat, but when I told her she couldn't keep it because it was a gift, she said ok & let me put it in the bag. So I was so proud of her when she put the gift on the doorstep & left it there.
Wednesday we have our next troop meeting where we'll work on learning the girl scout promise & make promise bead bracelets. Should be lots of fun!
Our first fundraiser was a breakfast/bake sale for the teachers at Addy's school. The parents brought all the food to the school & we set it up in the lounge.
The teachers came & ate whatever they wanted & made a donation to our team.
I also had a garage sale at my house on the day before the walk.
Between these 2 events, we were able to make a team donation of $275!
And that combined with all the donations made by our team's family & friends, we raised a total of $2860.00! Way to go Team Express!
This year the walk was on October 13th at Reliant Park. There were a lot of people there & I mean A LOT! I wish I would have gotten a picture of the crowd.
Hannah brought one of her besties to come walk with us.
I made a sign for each side of the wagon.
The proud parents of an awesome little girl!
We were so happy to be a part of the walk again this year & show our support for Austim Speaks. A big thanks to everyone who walked with us & to everyone who made a donation to Autism Speaks. And to Erin & Johnny for donating our team shirts. We love you all & greatly appreciate the love & support you all give to Addy & to our family.


Outlookplateau at Trollstigen National Tourist Route by the Geiranger Fjord in Romsdalen, Norway. Designed by Reilulf Ramstad Arkitekter.
Reiulf Ramstad will give lectures about the Detour project, and his architecture firm's involvement, in Philadelphia and New York this September.
Ramstad established Reiulf Ramstad Architects in order to create an architectural practice that would turn conceptual research and practical and theoretical knowledge into driving forces of sustainable design. Ramstad has earned a reputation for innovative architecture, displaying a deep understanding of the uniqueness of sites and programs and rejecting standardized solutions, creating award-winning designs in all kinds of environments from urban densities to remote unpopulated areas. Yet, the specific profile of the practice relies on a particular sensitivity to natural landscapes.
Detour started in 1993 as a collaborative project between the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and the foundation Norsk Form. At the heart of the project lay a wish to integrate contemporary architecture into Norwegian landscapes. With this goal in mind, Norwegian and international architects and designers have over the past decade located 18 suitable tourist routes in Norway, and highlighted them by creating close to 200 innovative and visually appealing viewing platforms, resting points, and picnic areas along the roadsides.
The Detour project are currently on Display at the Center for Architecture in Philadelphia and will travel to Parsons The New School for Design in NYC this December.
Where: The Glass Corner, second floor lobby and event space, Parsons The New School for Design, 25 E 13th St, NY.

Beyond the Dutch:
Indonesia and the Netherlands from 1900 until now, Centraal Museum Utrecht, 16 Oct. 2009 - 10 Jan. 2010.
The Dutch colonization of Indonesia has left many traces in the development of both countries. Between 16 October 2009 and 10 January 2010, the Centraal Museum Utrecht presents a major retrospective, which is fully dedicated to the interaction between the Dutch and Indonesian visual arts. The exhibition analyses the cultural legacy of colonialism and the drastic changes that came forth from the process of decolonization, and takes a look at the present situation.
Beyond the Dutch focuses on three periods: cultural influencing during the colonial period of about 1900, the consequences of decolonization and independence (about 1950) and the present period of post-colonialism (about 2000).
Works on display by more than 40 artists include Raden Saleh, Abdullah Suriosubroto, Jan Toorop, Isaac Israels, Affandi, Hendra Gunawan, Sudjojono, Piet Ouborg, Charles Sayers, Heri Dono, Agus Suwage, Mella Jaarsma and Tiong Ang.

Q: jQuery text editor (jqte) adds automatic  tag? For some reason jqte is automatically adding an html break at the end of the textarea and I don't know how to get rid of it.
Source:

<textarea class="about_me" name="about_me" value="">
Just some test text.<br>
</textarea>

From the testing I've done, these HTML entities are added whether there is anything in the textarea or not. I checked the demo on jqueryte.com/demos and these tags aren't there.
$(function() {
    $(".about_me").jqte({
        link: false,
        unlink: false,
        source: false,
        rule: false,
        sub: false,
        sup: false,
        outdent: false,
        indent: false,
        remove: false
    });
});

The plugin version I have is 1.4.0 (latest). Even if I do br: false they still show up. I've also tested in IE and firefox but both have the issue.
EDIT :
I still don't know the cause, but I do know the
 is added when pressing the spacebar.

No Ring For LeBron As Mavericks Beat Heat For Title
MIAMI — For Dirk Nowitzki, the resume is complete. He's an NBA champion.
For LeBron James, the agonizing wait continues for at least one more year.
A season that began with Miami celebrating the signings of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh – along with the promise of championships – ended on the very same floor, with the Dallas Mavericks hoisting the title trophy for the first time in their franchise history after beating the Heat 105-95 on Sunday night. The Mavericks won four of the series' last five games, a turnabout that could not have been sweeter.
"I really still can't believe it," said Nowitzki, who had 21 points and took home finals MVP honors.
He and Jason Terry, who led the Mavs with 27 points, were the two remaining players from the Dallas team that lost to Miami in the 2006 finals.
"Tonight," Terry said, "we got vindication."
James did not. Not even close, and a year unlike any other ended they way they all have so far – with him still waiting for an NBA title.
He scored 21 points for Miami, shook a few hands afterward, and departed before most of the Mavs tugged on their championship hats and T-shirts. Bosh had 19, Mario Chalmers 18 and Wade 17 for the Heat.
"We worked so hard and so long for it," Nowitzki said. "The team has had an unbelievable ride."
So did the Heat. Unlike Dallas, theirs wasn't a joyride.
"It goes without saying," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "You're never really prepared for a moment like this. … Neither team deserved this championship more than the other, but Dallas earned it."
Make no mistake: Miami lost the finals, but the blame will be directed at James. Even he knew that after the way he left Cleveland with "The Decision" and all the animus that generated not just in Ohio but around the entire league, the only way he could silence some critics was with a title.
"It doesn't weigh on me," James said. "At all."
Still, he got even more criticism – and a thinly veiled jab from his former owner with the Cavaliers, Dan Gilbert, who reveled in the moment on Twitter.
"Mavs NEVER stopped & now entire franchise gets rings," Gilbert wrote. "Old Lesson for all: There are NO SHORTCUTS. NONE."
And the winning owner, Mark Cuban, took what may be perceived as a jab as well: "I could care less about the Heat," he said.
Mavs coach Rick Carlisle joined an elite group, those with NBA titles as both a player and a head coach. Others on that list include the presumably retired-for-good Phil Jackson, one of Carlisle's mentors in K.C. Jones, and Heat President Pat Riley – who led Miami past Dallas in 2006, and the mastermind of what Miami did last summer by getting James, Wade and Bosh on the same team with an eye on becoming a dynasty.
It might still happen, of course.
But even after 72 wins this season, including playoffs, the Heat lost the last game. And that means this year was a disappointment – except to just about everyone else in the NBA, or so it would seem.
"This is a true team," Carlisle said. "This is an old bunch. We don't run fast or jump high. These guys had each other's backs. We played the right way. We trusted the pass. This is a phenomenal thing for the city of Dallas."
Hating the Heat became the NBA's craze this season, and the team knew it had no shortage of critics, everyone from Cleveland (where "Cavs for Mavs" shirts were popular during these finals) to Chicago (the city James and Wade both flirted with last summer) and just about every place in between lining up to take shots at Miami.
"We could feel it," Carlisle said, noting he was repeatedly told during the finals that "billions" of people wanted to see Dallas topple Miami.
Given their newfound popularity, meet the new America's Team.
Sorry, Cowboys – your long-held moniker might have to be ceded to your city's NBA club. When it was over, Cuban ran onto the court to hug Carlisle, then punched the air and whooped.
"I'm so happy for him. I'm so happy for Dirk," Carlisle said.
Carlisle said Riley came down to congratulate the Mavericks after the game, showing "unbelievable class." Nowitzki and Wade exchanged texts at night's end, after Wade couldn't find him during the on-court celebration to shake his hand.
"Their time will come," Carlisle said. "But now, it's our time."
When the Mavericks took a 2-0 lead in Dallas during the '06 finals, plans for their victory parade were announced. The Mavs didn't win another game in that series.
Now, that parade will finally happen, with city officials in Dallas saying early Monday that it could be several days away. And when it's over, then the league's uncertainty will truly begin. Labor strife likely awaits, and although more talks geared toward movement on a new deal are scheduled for this week, both owners and players are bracing for a lockout to begin once the current collective bargaining agreement expires June 30.
Late Sunday night, the CBA was the last thing on the mind of the new champions of the NBA, whom Carlisle called "the most special team I've ever been around."
Jason Kidd, at 38 years old, got his first championship. Nowitzki got his at 32, Terry at 33. They were featured on the video screen in their building in Dallas during this series on what seemed like a constant loop, each posing with the NBA trophy and looking longingly at it, standing mere inches from it, as if to say "so close, yet so far away."
No more.
It's theirs. And for the second time, James went to the finals, only to see the other team celebrate. San Antonio won in Cleveland in 2007, and four years later, he saw the Mavs party on his new floor.
"It was a failure in '07 when we lost to the Spurs when I was in Cleveland," James said. "It's a failure now."
Nowitzki sealed it with 2:27 left, hitting a jumper near the Miami bench to put Dallas up 99-89, and some fans actually began leaving. Nowitzki walked to the Mavs' side slowly, right fist clenched and aloft.
He knew it. Everyone did.
"We feel it," Wade said. "We'll feel it even more tomorrow."
Spoelstra implored his team to foul in the final minute, and even then, they couldn't catch the Mavericks.
"All I remember is telling those guys that they deserved it," Bosh said. "Hands down, they were the better team in this series. … All we can do is just admit it and move forward."
What happens with the next deal may affect the Heat more than anyone. Some owners will insist on a hard cap, rolled-back salaries and, potentially, trying to bust some current deals – which could break up the Big 3 before get another chance to win a title together.
A gloomy end to the season may bring an even gloomier offseason for Miami.
"Every situation has felt like it was an our-back-against-the-wall situation," James said Sunday morning, hours before Game 6 began. "We've been able to figure it out and find our way through and scratch our way through. This is the last test. This is the last pop quiz for us that we need to pass in order to make it all worth it."
They didn't pass.
So therefore, it wasn't all worth it.
"We give credit to the Dallas Mavericks," Wade said. "They're a helluva team. … We ran into a team that at this time is obviously better than us."
Miami had chances to take command and wasted them all. The Heat missed 13 of their 33 free throws, let the Mavericks score 27 points off turnovers and simply could not get a rebound in the final minutes.
Nowitzki finished 9 for 27, and the Mavs still won. He was 1 for 12 in the first half, and they were still ahead, 53-51, thanks largely to Terry's 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting.
"Was he unbelievable tonight or what?" marveled Nowitzki.
Down the stretch, Terry made another contribution. He grabbed Nowitzki during a time-out, telling him, "Remember '06." The final minutes belonged to Dirk and the Mavs, and a few German flags waved in Miami's arena during the postgame celebration.
"This feeling, to be on the best team in the world, it's just undescribable," Nowitzki said.
After James got off to such a fast start, he had two points in the final 19-plus minutes of the half.
James didn't score in the second half until a layup with 1:49 remained in the third – his first field-goal attempt since 1:05 remained in the half. Kidd made a 3-pointer late in the period, pushing the Dallas lead to 79-71, and it seemed like the only people standing in the arena were the players, referees, Cuban and a few guys around the Dallas bench.
Dallas took control in the second half after some wild back-and-forths in the opening two quarters. Miami took its last lead of the game – the season – just 64 seconds into the second half, lost it 16 seconds later and chased the Mavericks the rest of the way.
They never caught them.
"I can't believe the journey," said Kidd, who lost two previous finals trips with the New Jersey Nets. "The journey, the character of my teammates telling me they wanted to get me a championship. Tonight they came out and played well. I came here twice, this being my third time so third time was the lucky charm."
It was 81-72 entering the fourth, after Ian Mahinmi made a foul-line jumper as time expired in the third, just his third basket of the entire series.
None were bigger. The Mavs could taste a title.
"We had no champions on this team," Mavs center Tyson Chandler said. "And we walked away with a team full of champions."
Of the principal characters from the 2006 series, only Cuban, Nowitzki and Terry remain from the Mavericks' side, and for them, the beginning of this championship celebration seemed sweeter than even they could have imagined. Terry won't have to get his tattoo – the one of the NBA championship trophy – removed, which he vowed to have done if Miami won this series. Nowitzki will never be in the conversation of 'Best player without a title' again.
James is clearly the one with that most-unwanted label now.
As the night wore on, the smell of champagne permeated from the Dallas locker room, while Miami's was cleaned and vacuumed quickly, towels picked up, shower shoes stacked neatly before each player's locker. Nearby, in the team's usual postgame interview room, the Mavericks posed with the championship trophy, whooping in joy as Miami players filed out in stunned disbelief.
The offseason started earlier than the Heat ever imagined.
"The Greater Man upstairs know when it's my time," James tweeted. "Right now isn't the time."'

DeSantis Dismisses Rumors About 'Civil War Brewing' Between Him And Trump
On Wednesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) dismissed rumors that there was a "civil war brewing" between himself and former President Donald Trump (R) over the Republican party's 2024 presidential nomination.
DeSantis made the comments in response to a question during a press conference about Florida's recovery efforts from Hurricane Ian.
"We just finished this election, okay?" DeSantis said. "People just need to chill out a little bit on some of this stuff. I mean, seriously, we just ran an election. We have this Georgia runoff coming, which is very important for Republicans to win that Georgia runoff."
"I mean, I know around the country, Florida was kind of the biggest bright spot, it was not so bright in many other parts of the country," he continued. "It was a substandard performance given the dynamics that are at play."
"So at the end of the day, I think what we showed in Florida is just produce results, lead with conviction," DeSantis said. "I never put my finger in the wind or took polls, I just did what I thought that was right. But what the election gives us the opportunity to do is to continue to deliver. And so we're going to continue to deliver, we're not going to look back. And I think that that's very, very significant."
"But what I think Florida has shown is that, you look at all the problems that the country is having with the inflation, the open border, all these different things, a lot of failures," he added. "Florida is an example that you know what, you can get the big things right, you can get things right."
DeSantis concluded by saying he was focused on how his state could lead the country in governing.
"You know, the good thing about winning a big victory, we've got super majorities in the legislature now, and really, I think have an opportunity to continue great momentum," he said.

Healthy Neighborhoods measures quarterly real estate sales data and reports its findings to its board of directors and neighborhoods partners. The data compare home values on target blocks to neighborhood census tracts as well as trends for Baltimore City overall. For each neighborhood Healthy Neighborhoods tracks percentage of permits over $5,000, median listing price, median days on the market, number of units sold, and percentage of vacant and abandoned buildings.
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the purpose of stabilizing communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment. Through the purchase and redevelopment of foreclosed, abandoned and short-sale homes, the program's goals are being realized.
In 2010, as Baltimore's neighborhoods grappled with the foreclosure crisis, Healthy Neighborhoods won a national competition for a $26,092,880 NSP2 grant to buy and renovate vacant and foreclosed houses that threatened neighborhood stability and diminished home values in seven communities. With the NSP2 grant money, Healthy Neighborhoods leveraged the federal dollars with $19 million in private financing, turning a $26 million government grant into a $45 million neighborhood investment.
Five years after HNI won the grant, 210 houses have been acquired, rehabilitated and sold to households earning at or below 120% of the Area Median Income. The project was a collaboration with several government agencies, including Baltimore's Department of Housing and Community Development and the Baltimore Commission on Historical and Architectural Preservation, which approved exterior changes made to the homes. Healthy Neighborhoods also partnered with seven developers (Druid Heights Community Development Corporation, the French Company, GEDCO, Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake, St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center, Telesis Corporation, and Women's Housing Coalition).
For information on the NSP2 program and Healthy Neighborhoods' application, maps and progress reports, click here.
Healthy Neighborhoods asked the Community Law Center (CLC) to identify multi-family income restricted developments in and around the Healthy Neighborhoods (at the time of the study, Healthy Neighborhoods was working in 10 neighborhoods). The study was to determine, among other factors, how much housing was available and when or if it was vulnerable to conversion to market use. We found that most units in and around the 10 Healthy Neighborhoods are not at risk in the immediate future for conversion to market-rate use because of long-term rent restrictions that come with public financing. Through its research, the CLC identified 5,988 subsidized units in and around the Healthy Neighborhoods that have income and rent restrictions: 2,210 units are designated for low-income families; 2,808 units are designated for elderly and disabled residents; 970 units are in mixed-use projects.

Book Review: Legend by Marie Lu
Title: Legend
Author: Marie Lu
Genre: YA, dystopian
Published: Releases Nov. 29, 2011
The opening lines of Legend set the stage perfectly for what kind of book you're getting into. Here's the character named Day:
My mother thinks I'm dead.
Obviously I'm not dead, but it's safer for her to think so.
At least tiwce a month, I see my Wanted poster flashed on the JumboTrons scattered throughout downtown Los Angeles. It looks out of place up there. Most of the pictures on the screens are of happy things: smiling children standing under a bright blue sky, tourists posing before the Golden Gate Ruins, Republic commericals in neon colors. There's also anti-Colonies propaganda. "The Colonies want our land," the ads declare. "They want what they don't have. Don't let them conquer your homes! Support the cause!"
Already it's clear this world is not like ours; the United States is split into the Colonies and the Republic. I love the imagry of the Golden Gate Ruins. It reminds me of the deteriorating wasteland of D.C. and Vegas in the Fallout video game series which takes place after a nuclear war.
The story vascillates between Day, a teenage boy wanted by the military-led enforcers of the Republic for vandalism and property destruction, and June, a highly trained savant who has essentially finished college by age 15. June is protected by military wealth due to her brother's service, while Day is a vagabond on the run. They live in opposite worlds, but their paths cross when June's brother is killed during a mission to apprehend Day. June is suddenly alone, her parents having been killed years earlier, and now no brother to care for her. A Republic Commander recruits her early out of school, and June's new mission is to find Day, her brother's killer.
Day is portayed by the Republic as a misfit criminal, but when June encounters Day during an undercover mission, she sees a different side. He's kind and protective. He steals plague medicine for his sick brother, and secretly delivers it without making contact with his mother, out of protection for her. Day lives on the streets and takes care of a younger girl he calls cousin; he'll risk his own life to keep her safe. He tells her of how the Repubilc kills citizens who don't pass the Trial, the test each 10-year-old must pass which assigns their lot in life. June is guarded and reluctant to believe Day. She does what she is trained to do and follows her commands. But soon, she starts piecing together details about her brother's murder, and she begins to doubt that Day is the killer. She questions everything she was brought up to believe about the Republic and who they protect.
Fans of The Hunger Games or Delirium will enjoy Legend. All three deal with a world controlled by military-style government seeking to repress the poor and exploit everyone else. It's not all bleak; June and Day have great chemistry without being sappy. Plus, Day is so freaking awesome you will want a movie version of this book when you're finished. Plenty of action moves the story forward whenever it starts to lag. A few of the seondary characters feel a little one-note, but I enjoyed the leads enough to overcome some of the weaker aspects of the story.

• Is MexcelTrader compatible with Excel 2003 and Open Office?
At the moment MexcelTrader is only compatible with Excel 2007/2010.
• Can I use MexcelTrader to connect to more than one MetaTrader Broker?
Yes, the Premium version of MexcelTrader will be able to connect to multiple MT4s simultaneously.
• Why do I get "Waiting for MetaTrader 4 Monitor to become ready"?
This happens because the MexcelTrader Monitor script is not attached to a chart. The Quick Start sheet on the Mexcel Trader workbook provides instructions on how to accomplish this. However it can also be caused by accidentally removing the script from a chart or changing MetaTrader 4 Profiles, Chart symbol or Chart Time Frame on the chart where the script was attached. To avoid this message please attach the MexcelTrader Montior script to any dedicated chart which will not be modified or closed.
• I have done everything by the book but I still get "Waiting for Meta Trader4 Monitor to become ready". What should I do?
• Should I attach the MexcelTrader Monitor script to a chart on each profile? Does it matter which chart it is attached to?
It does not matter to which chart the script is attached to, as long as this very chart remains open and unchanged. One chart with the script is sufficient and attaching to multiple charts will not lead to any benefits or improvements.
• Which files should I include in a backup to guarantee that I do not lose ANY of my work in the event of a disk failure?
• I keep getting pop up DLL confirmation windows each time I start MexcelTrader Monitor. How to switch it off?
To remove the DLL confirmation windows, please open your MetaTrader 4, go to Tools and click on Options. In the new window click on Expert Advisors Tab and make sure that the "Confirm DLL function calls" is unchecked.
• What should I know about saving and copying the MexcelTrader workbook?
• Can I disable the Sample Dashboard?
• Can I add my own macros and VBA in MexcelTrader?
MexcelTrader was developed in an Excel environment and thus macros and VBA should work well with it. Sample Dashboard is one such example.
• Can I close all existing positions with a single function or a click?
No, each function requires an Order ID to execute and functions can only address 1 Order ID at a time. Several functions however can be triggered at the same time provided each function contains the correct Order ID. If all functions are triggered at exactly the same time in MexcelTrader, your MetaTrader 4 broker will decide the order in which those executions will take place.
• I have connected MexcelTrader but the BID and ASK prices in the Sample Dashboard do not update. Why?
The BID and ASK prices are functions provided by MetaTrader 4 and not by MexcelTrader. To enable the MetaTrader 4 functions go to your MetaTrader 4 platform, click on Tools>Options and in the Server tab check "Enable DDE Server". Then restart MetaTrader 4 and MexcelTrader.
• I have done everything correctly but the BID and ASK prices are still inactive in Sample Dashboard. What can I do?

Explosion Rocks Building In Houston As Harvey Continues Pounding Texas
REUTERS/Adrees Latif
Chris White Tech Reporter
August 28, 2017 1:06 PM ET
A building in downtown Houston exploded Monday afternoon, heaping more pressure on emergency crew trying to rescue victims of Hurricane Harvey.
A video of the fire from an eyewitness shows flames bellowing out of an attorney's office in Houston, according to local reports. There is no word as to whether flooding from Harvey caused the explosion.
One of the six deaths attributed to the tropical storm came from a house fire in Rockport, Texas, Mayor Charles J. Wax said in a news conference Saturday. The victim was found after the storm passed inland, Wax said at the time.

Houston officials, meanwhile, claim that rescue workers have rescued 2,000 people hold up in buildings and homes battered by Harvey. They have worked tirelessly to rescue victims since Friday when the hurricane began slamming the coast as a Category 4.
Officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency told reporters that they expect 30,000 people to be housed in shelters as emergency crews continue piecing together the extent of the damage.

The River Cottage Diaries: Well Curry My Weevils!
I know that the Showaddywaddy encounter was probably the one that you most want to hear about but I really want to find the photo which I'm sure is lurking in one of our many boxes so bear with me while I give you my failsafe recipe for Weevil Curry, a speciality of the Middle East in general and Bahrain in particular. It was The Native's story of the curry cook-off at her local pub that reminded me and, had I had the chance and the odd weevil, I might just have entered myself.
What the photo doesn't show is our lovely 'winter' uniform of nylon A-line skirt and fitted jacket in a strange faecal shade of brown. We lovingly called it 'minky brown'. The summer uniform, as modelled by Trish and Susan, was marginally more attractive and, even better, in the presence of a lighted match it could put on a great firework display before melting onto your skin and causing first degree burns.
Rumour has it that the airline had approached a famous French fashion designer who produced a design for a new uniform to replace the pyjama suit, as modelled on the right, which was a standing joke among other aircrew in the 70s and 80s, then the airline nicked the design and produced their own budget version madee with more synthetic materials that your average Hollywood starlet, ideal for the hot, humid Middle Eastern climate.
But check out the hat in the new(er) uniform. The hat was our signature piece - as well as being a fire hazard. The veil was not quite long enough, or the fabric fine enough, to drape it in a chic manner and the crown was stiffened by a bit of old Cornflakes packet (almost). After a few months it would start to collapse and we would cut up the onboard safety cards and feed them into the crown to make it rigid again. I don't think the management ever quite worked out why the safety cards kept disappearing and it's not as if anyone ever really reads them anyway.
The late 1980s were the end of the best years in the Middle East when our tax-free salaries were high and our benefits even better. It was during the Thatcher years when money was king. As a 20 year old I was earning more than I could have dreamed of and living a hedonistic existence of speedboats and sunshine, 5 star hotels, lavish parties and foreign travel. Money was no object. Bahrain was a strange sort of place. It was the financial centre of the Middle East and home to around 3000 single women under 30 who worked for the airline and a similar number of predominantly young single men who worked for the banks. My four years there were like one long party - well except for the time when I was stuck in Bangladesh for nearly two weeks during anti-government riots. We played Trivial Pursuit so many times that in the end we were giving the answers and guessing the questions.
The weekend was only one and a half days long so we always played hard and one of our favourite pastimes was hiring a fishing dhow and poor unsuspecting crew and sailing out to the islands where we would spend the day water skiing (drinking), (drinking), jet skiing, (drinking) before retiring to the Yacht Club for sundowners.
I should point out at this juncture that prior to moving to Bahrain I didn't drink. An unfortunate encounter with a bottle of Martini and a Catholic priest (no, not like that... be quiet at the back!) at a party when I was 16 put me off drink for life, well most of it at least. On-board sanitation was basic, consisting as it did of a cabin strapped onto the back of the dhow with a hole in the bottom which emptied straight into the sea. You always made sure to check which way the wind was blowing before you ever used it. Many an unfortunate received an unexpected watering when some newbie had forgotten this important rule.
Come Friday, the start of the weekend, we'd load up the Eskies with cold beers, picnics and another local favourite, Drunken Watermelon.
Take one large watermelon and slice off the top.
Slice up watermelon, eat and get very drunk!
Drunken watermelon was an absolute essential to get through the onboard entertainment which usually consisted of some elderly arab gentlemen blowing on the bladder of a sheep (dead) and wailing incoherently while probably secretly plotting jihad against the immoral westerners.
On this particular dhow trip, having consumer huge quantities of Drunken Watermelon, I decided to invite my friends back for one of my famous curries. You know how some people get the munchies? Well I get the urge to entertain.
Back at our flat, I bumbled around the kitchen in a semi-drunken stupor getting together the necessary ingredients for a marmalade chicken curry, a deliciously fruity affair with lots of err.... fruit, while my houseguests went home to change/sober up/think up a suitable excuse for not returning.
 I chopped up my chicken and marinated it in spices while I peeled some apples. It wasn't easy but I found that if I closed one eye it wasn't quite so hard to focus. A healthy dollop of marmalade was added I put it on the hob to start cooking. After simmering for 10 minutes it was time to add the all-important sultanas. It's an unwritten rule in the Middle East that you never add dried ingredients unless you have checked thoroughly for weevils who, along with the cockroaches, existed solely to make life interesting and usually for all the wrong reasons. On this occasion, mental function being somewhat impaired by rum, I just tipped of good measure of dried fruit into the gently bubbling curry. The sultanas appeared to be moving. I tried shutting the other eye but nothing changed. I took a closer look. The mixture was full of weevils doing the front crawl, the backstroke, even the butterfly. I vaguely thought 'Oh bugger' before the realisation dawned on me that it was the weekend so no shops were open, I had no spare ingredients with which to make another curry and I had about 10 people arriving in half an hour.
I scooped the chicken out of the saucepan and rinsed it under the tap to remove the weevils before starting the futile task of trying to scoop out the remaining ones which were now cooking gently in the curry. It soon became apparent that I was completely outnumbered so I took the decision to just stir the rest of them in and have done with it. Without the unwelcome influence of alcohol I would probably have realised that serving up a generous portion of weevils to my friends was a bit anti-social but hey, what you don't know can't harm you... can it? 'Extra protein' I told myself in order to justify my actions.
My friends arrived and, with thoughts of the unusual extra ingredient pushed firmly to the back of my mind, the curry was served - to them at least. I told them I wasn't hungry. Well what did you expect me to do? I couldn't knowingly eat weevil curry, could I?
As the last person scraped their plate clean the curry was pronounced "the best yet". "Ah, that will be my secret ingredient" I told them, smiling sweetly. To this day, they don't know just what that secret ingredient was.
Click on any photo to enlarge it..... if you dare!
As a fan of Ray Mears and "wild food" I take my hat off to you. Thanks for the offer of food but... er... I'm on a fast at the moment. Sorry.
What a great story! I definitely made the wrong career choice! I so want to wear that uniform!
Steve, that's what is was, wild food! Actually, I can wait for you to break your fast so don't worry, you won't have to miss out. Talking of breaking fast, I was once invited to an Eid al Adha celebration (the breaking of the fast after Ramadhan). The centrepiece was a mountain of rice with a whole lamb, roasted eyes and all, nestled in the middle as if asleep. Ahhh! Apparently eating the eyes is good for warding off stress caused by working for a Local Authority. Shall I arrange one for you? And Ray Mears... that man didn't get a body like that from eating berries and worms!
Auntiegwen, glad it's not just me then!
Sarah, are you sure? It could probably be arranged but I'm not sure it's the right thing for downtown Montpellier!
You, auntiegwen and me; and no, I wouldn't have eaten it either!
Yeah, I suddenly have this urge to start a diet. :) Well that sounded like quite the life you had out there. And dare I say, anytime you get to a point where you decide to go ahead and SERVE the weevil curry, you've probably had a little too much of that drunk watermelon business.
MMM, you know they say the average person eats about 4 spiders a year so my weevils would hardly have made a difference. Look at them, they're teeny tiny. Fortunately for all future dinner guests I no longer drink and when entertaining The Husband does the cooking so you are relatively safe. I never did tell. My workmate, Gerard (in the photo) still has no idea that I served him weevils. I've just found him on Facebook. Should I fess up? Looking forward to Weds. Shall I bring some crane fly cookies?
Fly, I shudder to think what I may have inadvertently eaten on my travels, particularly in India and South East Asia. Still, I'm none the worse for it.
Veggie, I do think that possibly, maybe had I eaten less drunken watermelon (and drunk less beer judging from the photo) the weevils might not have ended up in the curry.
Hope you and Fly both enjoy the drunken watermelon but I cannot be held responsible for any food you may either serve up or consume afterwards.
Hilarious! Reminds me of the time we drunkenly dropped 8 people's worth of spag bol on the floor as students and just scooped it all up and served it...happy days!
CQ, and I bet they loved it too! I remember my mum serving up a joint of beef that our dog had got his teeth into when nobody was looking. See, it's all her fault. Blame the parents I say!
Well, they were dead and well cooked by the time they got eaten. I couldn't have knowingly eaten them myself either but I don't blame you for keeping quiet!


Happy St. Pats from BowieBerner!
I stopped to see this guy on Golf Rd when I was looking for Bowie's favorite food. Sleep time. He is ~8wks and they got him a week ago. He is at a very nice place in Schaumburg and I can send you the specifics if you like. Very sweet.
Almost had to break up a fight. no punches were thrown.


We recently had an opportunity to work beside the great Barry Lai, a creative designer and brand strategist from San Francisco who owns his own design firm called Design Rehab. Barry has been known to do some amazing work for various companies and brands throughout the world. This video project was produced in hopes to inspire and spark the creative imagination that we all hold inside us. We hope you like it!
providing resources as a full-service creative consortium and offering visual solutions in pixels and print. His processes have developed over time focusing its core emphasis on the fundamentals of research and being empathetic to his users and consumers needs. Barry believes, without a solid foundation in understanding the problem, the solution is only as good as its competitors.
Through the test of time, Design Rehab has assisted technology giants, lifestyle brands, mobile services as well as local businesses to help sustain their arms within the competitive landscape. Barry also believes, in order to progress, you must obsess (in the most non-creepy obsessive way, of course). Dedication is a part of growth that everyone unknowingly gains by constantly doing what they love the most.


Your Renaissance Place District Administrator has access to the school code and can create widgets for the entire district as well as individual schools. That person can also share the widget code with anyone who may have an interest in the widget activity, such as teachers, parents, students, and so forth.
Why am I redirected to a Sign In page when I try to create a widget or view the My Widgets tab?
Either you opened the site without logging in through Renaissance Place or you were automatically logged out. Renaissance Place will automatically log users out after the page has been idle for about 20 minutes. In either case, you need to log in so that Renaissance Place knows which district or school data to include on your widget.
What range does each timeframe cover?
Why does the grade drop-down show K-12 when the school I selected has K-4 students enrolled?
Showing all the grades allows widgets to be made for any grade, even if the school selected doesn't have all of them.
Create as many as you like.
Where can I find the system requirements for using widgets?
Go to system requirements for the most up-to-date system requirements.
How often does my data update?
Nationwide widgets update every 10 seconds, while district and school widgets update about every 10-15 minutes.
Why don't the numbers on my widget match my Dashboard or other Renaissance Place reports?
The Dashboard and widget are not set to the same schedule. If the numbers are close, it's the difference between the time that each one finishes summarizing the data and refreshes the numbers. If the numbers aren't close, you're probably viewing a different timeframe. Widgets have four time frames--Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Year to date.
Why are my monthly totals less than my weekly totals?
If a month starts mid-week, there may only be a day or two of data included in the monthly totals, but five or six days of data for the weekly totals.
Which AR Quiz types does Books Read include?
Books Read includes Reading Practice Quizzes in English and Spanish, including Recorded Voice. It does not include Literacy Skills Quizzes, Other Reading Quizzes, or Teacher-made Quizzes.
Where do the books shown in the Recently Read Books section come from?
The books shown represent the 30 most recent Accelerated Reader Quizzes passed in your district, school, or grade. For a district or school, the books are evenly divided among the grades.
Why does my widget include recently read books when it shows zero books or words read?
Recently Read Books are not tied to the timeframe selected for the widget. It simply pulls a list of the most recently read books from the grade, school, or district selected. It is most common to see zero books or words read at the start of a new time period, such as the first day of the month if you are viewing data monthly.
Why do I get a warning when I put my widget on a secure page?
The widget is an embedded Flash control. Many browsers now warn users and ask for their consent to allow the embedded controls to work.
Where can I view my widget?
That's completely up to you. You can place the school code on any public or private Web site.
How do I handle student data privacy?
Widgets are designed to show data for large groups of students to protect individuals, which is why they don't include quiz scores. As with any tool that shares student data, you'll want to be careful about showing data summarized for a small number of students.
Why do I need widgets if I already have the Dashboard?
Widgets are intended for motivation rather than analysis, and are available to everyone-not just Renaissance Place users.
What happens to a widget that I've shared with someone if I delete it or stop sharing it?
The person will receive an error message saying the widget is no longer available, and the Web page will need to be updated with valid widget code.

Abram is a village and electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. It lies on flat land on the northeast bank of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal,  west of Leigh,  southeast of Wigan, and  west of Manchester. Abram is a dormitory village with a population of 9,855.

Historically part of Lancashire, Abram anciently formed a township and chapelry in the parish of Wigan and hundred of West Derby. Abram appears in an entry of an ancient survey of Lancashire in 1212 under the name "Edburgham".

The urbanisation and development of Abram largely coincided with the Industrial Revolution. Abram is at the centre of a coal district, and industrial scale coal mining was introduced to Abram around the middle of the 19th century with the opening of several collieries. In 1911, Abram was described as "distinctly unpicturesque ... trees are in the minority, and stunted and blackened with smoke", with "collieries, pit-banks, and railway lines" as well as "much pasture land". The Maypole Colliery Disaster in 1908 resulted in 75 deaths and profoundly changed the character of the village.

Abram's coal mining industry declined in the mid-20th century, but the village has continued to grow due to its position between Leigh, Manchester, Warrington and Wigan. To the south of the village lies Abram Flashes, a  area of shallow wetlands and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Abram has historic associations with traditional morris dancing.

History

The village name has been variously recorded as Edburgham in 1212 and Adburgham in 1246. In the 16th century it had evolved into Abraham, and by the 17th century the current name of Abram had become prevalent. It is suggested that Abram derives from Abraham, the surname of the medieval Lords of the Manor.

The manor was probably part of the larger manor of Newton until it was granted to "Warine son of Godfrey" by Henry II who reigned 1154–1189. The family adopted the name of the settlement, and remained Lords of the Manor until the 17th century. The family was ruined by the English Civil War, in which they supported the Royalists. When the last in male line of the Abraham family died in the 17th century, possession of the manor passed through many hands, and the title of Lord of the Manor was still around at the start of the 20th century although held no manorial rights.

Just after 17:00 on 18 August 1908 there was an explosion at the No 1, Cannell Mine of the Maypole Coal Pit. A total of 75 men and boys died in this mining accident. Because the explosion occurred deep underground, it was not until November 1909 that all the bodies were recovered. The inquest ruled that the explosion was caused by a combination of a buildup of coal dust and gas, and the use of explosives to bring down coal from the ceiling. The physical effects of the disaster on Abram are described as "profound"; the explosion made 44 women widows and killed the fathers of more than 120 children. At the time, Irish people were a large ethnic minority in Lancashire, making up between a quarter and a third of the populations of Leigh, St Helens, and Wigan. The Irish Catholic immigrants were seeking works on the Lancashire Coalfield, as demonstrated by the fact that 13 of the dead were Catholic migrants from Ireland. Many of the families affected by the disaster returned to Ireland shortly afterwards.

Governance

Lying within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire since the early 12th century, Abram anciently constituted a manor, held by ruling families who paid tax to the King. Abram during the Middle Ages formed a township in the ecclesiastical parish of Wigan, and hundred of West Derby.

Following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834, Abram formed part of the Wigan Poor Law Union, an inter-parish unit established to provide social security. Abram's first local authority was a Local board of health established in 1880; Abram Local Board of Health was a regulatory body responsible for standards of hygiene and sanitation in the township. Following the Local Government Act 1894, the area of the Local Board became the Abram Urban District, a local government district within the administrative county of Lancashire. The urban district council had 12 members and was based out of Abram Urban District Council Offices, which were designed by Heaton, Ralph and Heaton and completed in 1903.

In 1957 there were exchanges of very small areas with Ashton in Makerfield and Golborne Urban Districts. Under the Local Government Act 1972, the Abram Urban District was abolished, and Abram has, since 1 April 1974, formed an unparished area of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, a local government district of the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester. Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council provides the local services.

In terms of parliamentary representation, Abram is part of the Makerfield constituency; the Member of Parliament is Yvonne Fovargue, a Labour politician.

Geography

At  (53.508°,-2.588°) and  northwest of central London, Abram lies on mostly flat ground, with slightly undulating land at its southern end. The larger towns of Wigan and Leigh lie to the northwest and east respectively. For purposes of the Office for National Statistics, Abram forms part of the Wigan Urban Area. Suburban localities in and around Abram include Bamfurlong, Bickershaw, Bryn Gates and Platt Bridge.

The land around Abram is generally flat and used for coal mining as well as arable farming. As a result, collieries were scattered across the landscape. The local geology consists of coal measures in the north and sandstone in the south; the soil is clayey and as a result, the area is susceptible to flooding.

To the south of the village lies Abram Flashes a  Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The site lies adjacent to the Leigh Branch Canal and is part of Wigan Flashes an area of wetland stretching for  between Wigan and Leigh. The flashes are shallow bodies of water which originate from flooding due to subsidence caused by shallow-mining. Abram flashes was designated an SSSI in 1990 due to its biological interest which includes various habitats such as open water, swamp, tall herb fen and wet marshy grassland.

Demography

According to the Office for National Statistics, at the time of the United Kingdom Census 2001, Abram had a population of 9,855. The 2001 population density was , with a 100 to 99.7 female-to-male ratio. Of those over 16 years old, 30.3% were single (never married) and 43.2% married. Abram's 4,037 households included 27.2% one-person, 40.0% married couples living together, 9.5% were co-habiting couples, and 12.5% single parents with their children. Of those aged 16–74, 42.2% had no academic qualifications.

At the 2001 UK census, 84.7% of Abram's residents reported themselves as being Christian, 0.9% Muslim, 0.2% Buddhist and 0.1% Sikh. The census recorded 6.5% as having no religion, 0.1% had an alternative religion and 7.5% did not state their religion.

Landmarks

The parish church of St John in Abram was constructed in 1935–1937, and is one of the works by Austin and Paley. There are two listed buildings in the village, both of which are Grade II; they are Brookside farmhouse, dating from the early-18th century, and a mid-18th century detached house on Warrington Road.

Transport
Public transport in Abram is co-ordinated by Transport for Greater Manchester. A roads link Abram with other settlements, including the A573 road which bisects the town from north to south, and connects it to Wigan and Golborne. The M6 motorway runs to the southwest of the area, near Ashton in Makerfield, and is accessed via the A58 at junction 24 of the M6.

Bickershaw and Abram railway station was a station on the now closed Wigan Central to Glazebrook line. It opened along with six other stations on 1 April 1884. It closed on 2 November 1964.

There are frequent buses running through Abram with services to a variety of destinations in Greater Manchester, including services to Wigan, Leigh and Manchester.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal passes Abram to the southwest.

Culture and community

The village has historic associations with traditional Morris dancing and is home to Abram Morris Dancers. A plot of land by Park Lane in the southwest of Abram is known as the Morris Dancers' ground, and is popularly supposed to be held by the Abram Morris Dancers on condition that a Morris dance be celebrated there once every 20 years. The Abram Circle is a dance native to Abram and is "renowned to morris dancers". The Abram Morris Dancers' logo appears on the boundary signs for the village.

Abram has two primary schools: Abram Bryn Gates Primary School, and Abram Church of England Primary School.

Notable people
John Elisha Grimshaw was an Abram-born recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" to members of the British and Commonwealth forces.

Jenny Meadows is a British athlete. She attended Abram C of E Primary School on Simpkin Street and still lives in Abram today. Her main event is the 800 m, where she was European Indoor Champion in 2011.

Mick Burke was a well-known mountaineer and rescuer who lived in Abram. He lost his life on Mount Everest in 1975 whilst working as a cameraman for the BBC.

Football Physics: Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers Got Tips from Astronaut Mark Kelly
A football floats in microgravity, high above the Earth. (Image credit: NASA)
Advice from an astronaut might have helped Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers perfect his Hail Mary technique.
Rodgers is the modern master of this long-distance desperation heave: He's thrown three Hail Mary touchdown passes in the past 13 months, including one at the end of the first half last week, in the Packers' first-round playoff victory over the New York Giants.
Rodgers and his teammates have said he tends to throw his Hail Mary passes higher than other quarterbacks do — a strategy that former NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, a veteran of four space shuttle missions, might have helped him devise.
Retired NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, seen here before the launch of the STS-108 space shuttle mission in 2001. (Image credit: NASA)
Kelly, Rodgers and entrepreneur Kevin O'Leary competed on the game show "Celebrity Jeopardy!"; their episode aired in May 2015. (Rodgers came out on top, winning $50,000 for charity.) After getting to know Kelly, Rodgers picked the astronaut's brain about Hail Mary physics, according to Sports Illustrated.
"Kelly says — and Rodgers confirms — that they discussed height and trajectory and factors such as wind and cold. This was heavy conversation for a round of golf," Sports Illustrated reported today (Jan. 13).
"His Hail Mary passes are like a spaceship re-entering orbit," Kelly told Sports Illustrated. "We should start calling it the 'Hail Rodgers.'"
"Timing is everything, and fortunately, it is so cold in Green Bay there isn't significant re-entry heating," Kelly added. "I'm kidding, of course."
Rodgers and the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys Sunday (Jan. 15) in the second round of the NFL playoffs. (The Cowboys have a central place in Hail Mary lore; then-Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach coined the term after throwing one for a game-winning touchdown in the 1975 playoffs.)
Kelly flew his space shuttle missions in 2001, 2006, 2008 and 2011. The 2011 flight, which he commanded, was the final mission of the shuttle Endeavour.
Mark Kelly's identical twin brother, Scott, is also a former NASA astronaut. Scott Kelly, along with cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko, recently flew the first-ever yearlong mission aboard the International Space Station. Mark Kelly participated in this mission as well, albeit from the ground; Mark has provided researchers with biological samples to help them gauge how long-duration spaceflight might have affected Scott's DNA.
Mark Kelly retired from NASA's astronaut corps in 2011, and Scott followed suit in 2016.
