Meet Tatiana Montoyo. She is the starting point guard on the Syracuse Central Tech junior varsity girls’ basketball team. She is also 3′10″ tall. I vow to not drop the “big heart” line.
Tatiana, 15, was born with short-limbed dwarfism, a condition that did not require me to check WebMD for an explanation. And yet, there she is, running the point for her high school team. I once got teabagged at the University of Kansas student rec center by a dunking Billy Thomas. We all have our crosses to bear, I guess. I’m just happy that the Syracuse Post-Standard got a hold of this story before Rick Reilly did. It’s worth noting that Daulerio sent me this link with a message saying only, “there’s your fuckin’ DUAN.” The man’s got a nose for news.
****
Well, folks, it’s been a pleasure. I’ve been awake and sober for nearly 10 hours now; that just won’t do. Thank you to everyone who sent along tips and emails. I’m sorry if I didn’t get to everything. Thanks also go out to AJ Daulerio for letting me housesit for the day. Let’s all hope he got to his destination safe and sound.
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin.

How we decide February 6, 2009

The big event of last night?
All Chet (and ugh, Scott!) and no queer makes The Real World Brooklyn a dull show. 
Seriously! There wasn’t even a Ryan gif to lead this thing with!
I mean, this is the best I could come up with:
Granted, Ryan’s adorability was reduced this week after his prank freak out. Says Ry: “Pranks are good. Trust me, I love ?em, but there’s good ones and bad ones and it’s about timing.” Bullshit. The entire point of most pranks is to catch someone off guard, and while it sucks to be woken up particularly if you have a veteran’s case of PTSD (which, thank you subtitles)…
…being woken up is the risk you take for setting the slapstick tone. It’s important to be sensitive of people’s shit (that’s the moral of every single fucking breath these people take), but you know that you’re opening yourself up to be fucked with by fucking with other people. And so, if you have special needs in the field of fuckery, you lay off the pranks or you end up looking like the merry hypocrite when you’re screaming at someone for spraying shaving cream on you while you were asleep.
Plus, the prank that started this week’s episode, that whole reverse shoelace thing that amuses Ryan so?
What kind of wack shit is that? Have you laced a pair of shoes lately? If so, you are aware it takes approximately two months to complete that task. If you embark on such an endeavor, the joke is on you for caring so fucking much as to unlace someone’s shit, lace it back up the wrong way and then unlace and relace your own shit so as not to arouse suspicion of your rogue lacing. These people are so bored, and that’s fine as long as they aren’t boring. But they were this episode, so again I say :(.
Plus, you know, it gave Ryan the opportunity to jizz on JD.
I love how after Ryan’s revenge, JD just went on with his business like having a thick white substance sprayed on him was no big thing.
  download comedy movie;
Have you ever jizzed on someone and then watch them proceed to, I don’t know, make a sandwich or relace their shoes backward? I haven’t but that would be weird, right?
Also, I would like to report that my spell check kept replacing “jizzed” with “jazzed.” Just when you thought talking about ejaculating on men couldn’t get gayer…
The point of all of this is that I find myself agreeing with JD, even if his behavior would seem to run counter to his “No more pranks!” bitching of

Posted by nutritionalsupplementnews in : Uncategorized , add a commentMeet Adam Roberts: the King of High Concept
Adam Roberts is one of my favorite science fiction writers going. He is the author of ten science fiction novels Compre cialis en España and two novellas, all of them brilliant works of epic scope and scale. Adam jumps from hard SF to biting satire, from the ends of time to the decades just ahead. Jon Courtenay Grimwood called him, “the king of high concept SF,” and I couldn’t agree more. He’s also the author of a number of critical works, including the the Palgrave History of Science Fiction. Under the pseudonym A.R.R.R. Roberts he even writes a series of parody novels. (Of the lot, my favorite title is Doctor Whom: E.T. Shoots and Leaves.) DeathRay wrote of him recently that, “You never know exactly what you’re going to get with an Adam Roberts novel, and that’s a strength: each of his books is very different in feel from the last.”
I certainly think it’s a strength, but somehow?I’m ashamed to say?refusing to do the same old thing over and over can hurt you over here in the States when it comes time to building a dedicated readership. And Adam excels at difficult protagonists, often employing people whose values are starkly out of contrast with our own, and he loves utilizing the “unreliable narrator,” someone who has reason to lie and therefore can’t be entirely trusted. It’s a technique that is very familiar in the mystery genre, but doesn’t always go down well in SF. Honestly, I think if he’d been published over here by a mainstream publisher, he’d be regarded as a serious literary genius like Michael Chabon. As it is, I hope he will forgive me if I say he’s something of a well-kept secret. But perhaps that’s beginning to change.
[Get the goods on Adam…]
I first encountered Adam in an interview in which he was discussing his novel, On. It’s a brilliant work about a boy named Tighe who lives on the side of an impossibly vast wall. How vast? It’s called the “WorldWall.” The son of a local chieftain and goat-herder, his self-assurance is rocked when he falls off the wall, plunging for miles and miles until he is miraculously saved in a manner I won’t spoil.
Whereupon, Tighe discovers an entire civilization that he never knew existed and is soon drawn into its latest war. I was intrigued by the interview. The interviewer was asking Roberts if the Wizard of Oz vibe he was Levitra picking up on in the text was deliberate. Adams responded that the book was about a world turned on its side, and that he should turn the novel’s title on its side as well. That’s when I knew I had to read this guy.
Numb and numb-er: Is trillion the new billion?
I was in the middle of editing my first fully-professional anthology, Live without a Net, and I knew if I waited until I’d read On it would be too late to get him involved, so I emailed Adam something like, “I’ve never read you, but I just bought both your novels and I think you’re a genius, and if I wait to find out for myself it will be too late, so can I have a short story?” I’m a little better at sweet talking writers these days, but nonetheless he responded with a story. In fact, he sent two: “New Model Computer” and the longer “Swiftly.” They were both great. I chose the shorter, strictly for space reasons, then changed my mind and emailed him back within 24 hours, only to find that Ellen Datlow had already accepted “Swiftly” for Sci-Fiction. (Damn!)
I’ve been a fan of Adam ever since. And yes, I did go on to read On, and loved it utterly. And I’ve worked with him every chance I get. When I edited the dear-to-my heart-but-commercial-failure Projections: Science Fiction in Literature & Film, an anthology of new and original essays on SF&F by authors of same, he wrote a brilliant piece on The Matrix Trilogy, arguing (somewhat tongue-in-cheek) that, “these films are in a vital sense about the monstrous surplus that overwhelms any pigeonholing reduction at the level of the symbolic.” (Whazzat?) He also allowed me to reprint his essay, “Delany: Nuances of a Theme by Stevens,” which argued that Samuel R. Delany’s “Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones” must be understood in context of Wallace Stevens’ 1923 poem, “The Emperor of Ice Cream.” Man, he convinced me.
Meanwhile, his novel,

Form 1040 instructions February 4, 2009
Posted by nutritionalsupplementnews in : Uncategorized , add a commentStringing purls and doing mitzvahs
At Temple Etz Chaim, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are for study.
Fridays are for Shabbat.
And every other Sunday is for stringing purls, weaving yarns, and generally getting oneself into stitches - that is, if you’re among the 17 women who gather at the temple those Sundays to knit and crochet.
It’s all part of the temple’s Knitzvah Project, made up of new and veteran crafters dedicated to doing good deeds and spreading compassion by making yarn pieces for donation to others in need.
“For the past year, we have had a knitting group for both beginner and experienced knitters,” said Sue Gabbe Cass, president of the Franklin temple. “Last spring, several of us agreed that we wanted to plan a group activity that would fulfill our sense of social action.”
And so the ladies came up with the Knitzvah Project.
“The name is a takeoff on the words knit and mitzvah, which is ‘to do a good deed,”‘ explained Barbara Gillmeister, of Wrentham.
The Knitzvah Project’s first piece, recently completed, is a “Blanket of Love” made of 10-inch by 10-inch squares pieced together into “a generous” twin-sized blanket. It will be donated to the Kaplan Family Hospice Home in Danvers.
The project turned out to be a bigger success than the women anticipated.
“We estimated that we would need 35 squares to complete one blanket,” said Cass.
But, with each member of the group knitting at the Sunday meetings and at home, and with some of their family members helping as well, they ended up with enough for one and a half more blankets.
“It (the Knitzvah Project) really has taken on a life of its own,” observed Cass.
On a recent Sunday, several of the members puzzled with care over the best placement of each woman’s contributions within the design of a second blanket. And there was the reverent placement of the “Tree of Life” square, reserved for a corner spot - the ladies’ way of signing their work, and of imbuing the creation with meaning.
“Our temple is Etz Chaim, The Tree of Life,” explained Dianne Elfenbein of Franklin.
“And the Torah is the Tree of Life,” added Elizabeth Press of Bellingham. “From it, you learn how to live, how to have compassion, how to give back.”
The women give to each other as much as they are giving to the larger world. The group is a place to tell stories and laugh, mentor and learn, and pass on pearls - not to mention purls - of wisdom and wit.
“It makes for good conversation,” said Gillmeister. “We chat about all kinds of things.”
“We also bring (knitting and crocheting) books, and we share patterns,” added Cass.
The women create with yarn offered to the group at a discount from the Franklin Mill Store.
Many of the women learned their knitting or crocheting skills from their mothers or grandmothers. But they’re also learning from each other.
“I crochet. My gramma taught me when I was 10 years old,” said Press. “But from these ladies I have learned different patterns. I’ve learned to knit, too.”
And she’s not the only one. Grace Kooper, of Cumberland, R.I., joined the group because she wanted to learn knitting.
And Elfenbein, who said she has been knitting “longer than I care to tell you,” is learning to crochet. Whatever the technique, though, she said, “It’s fun to turn that yarn into something exciting.”

In the first of their upcoming installments on Japan, PRI’s Studio360 has posted this wonderful video interview of renowned travel writer Pico Iyer with Kurt Anderson. Iyer went to Japan 20 years ago on a soul-searching mission, checking himself into a Buddhist meditation retreat. But he found that it was easier to find wa on the city streets than in the confines of a temple. He has some awesome quotes. My faves:
“japan is like a 2000-year-aged woman wearing a micro-skirt, with an artificial tan and carrying a surfboard.”
“Being in Japan is like being in the company of a wise, fairly tolerant gentle older human being…who has made peace with seasons and nature and the larger scheme of things.”I went to Tokyo with the Studio360 crew in December as a reporter/consultant. I’ll be posting segments from the rest of the program, including my own, over the next week or two.

Posted by nutritionalsupplementnews in : Uncategorized , add a commentElisabeth Elliot: don’t over-control your children
i’m going as a consequence older email today - which explains why so divers entries :)funny, but the to begin thing i pore over after the last entry on ezzo and the danger of parents too for all practical purposes on control was this admonition by elisabeth elliot on godly discipline. it’s called note to fathers, but it works for mothers too - especially in light of what i just wrote:the older - and sanguinely wiser - i get, the more i see the libido to control as one of the greatest stumbling blocks in our spiritual development. it’s ugly in any form. influence, shape, inculcate, instruct, guide, lead, inspire - yes! authority over? no way. if power doesn’t control us, then our own desires to button certainly can’t come from him.it’s uncanny how similar the words i right-minded wrote are to what i read next:
A Note to Fathers
Are you depriving your son of his sonship? “Hey! Hold it. What?…” Hebrews 12:7 says, “Can anyone be a son who is not disciplined by his father? If you escape the discipline in which all sons share, you must be bastards and no true sons” (NEB). Do you love your son or daughter enough to say no and hold to it? Would you, by cowardliness that fears to make a rule (perhaps because “nobody else” believes in it) treat your child as though you cared no more about him than you would care about a bastard?
But there are some words of caution. “Fathers, don’t over-correct your children, or make it difficult for them to obey the commandment. Bring them up with Christian teaching in Christian discipline” (Ephesians 6:4, PHILLIPS).
This reminds me of the way in which the Lord teaches us. He is so patient with us who are so “slow-of-heart.” The Shepherd does not make it hard for the sheep to walk in the right paths. He is always trying to make it easier for them, but they balk, they wander off, they don’t listen. Children as well as adults are like sheep. They go astray. Fathers are meant to be shepherds. Don’t overcorrect. “You fathers must not goad your children to resentment, but give them the instruction, and the correction, which belong to a Christian upbringing” (same verse, NEB). It’s balance that is needed. Correct them, teach them. Don’t go to extremes. Ask God for wisdom. It’s too big a job for any ordinary human being. Look at God as a Father. How does He deal with us? Try to follow His pattern.
~~~~~~~
As always, I’d like to encourage you to include Elisabeth Elliot in your morning reading. She gives you a lot to think about during the day. Subscribe to her daily devotions here. You can also see a bunch of my favorites here.

Only you may have this thought.You think, perhaps, this thought is mine?You, me, we? Silly boy, I think. ……………………………….-Elena Wisebrough///”To Opinion: An Assay”Jane HirshfieldMany capacities have been thought to define the human???yet finches and wasps use tools; speech comesinto this world in many forms.Perhaps it is you, Opinion.
Though I cannot know for certain,I doubt the singing dolphins have opinions.
This thought of course, is you.
A mosquito’s estimation of her meal, however subtle,is not an opinion. That’s my opinion, too.
To think about you is to step intoyour arms? a thicket? pitfall?
When you come rising strongly in me, I feel myself grow separateand more lonely.Even when others share you, this is so.
Darwin said no fact or description that fails to support an argument can serve.

Last night there were whole minutes when you released me.Ocean ocean ocean was the sound the sand made of the moonlit wavesbreaking on it.
I felt no argument with any part of my life.
Not even with you, Opinion, who drifted in salt waters with the bullwhip kelpand phosphorescent plankton,nibbling my legs and ribcage to remind me where Others end and I begin.
Good joke, I agreed with you, companion Opinion.///
