The value of critique, as one of our writers noted on Saturday, is that it offers differing perspectives. While many offer up the same intelligent criticisms of a piece—this needs clarifying, this requires more detail or better writing—some see no need to change this or that. Others in the critique group do.
I suppose this is why creativity is an individual expression. The ultimate decision rests with the writer.
Critique leaves the writer with much to chew on and digest when it comes to revising the piece. It is up to her to pick and choose which comments best serve her purpose.
"Even if you have pushed yourself and feel you've broken through, push yourself further…ride that wave as long as you can. Don't stop in the middle," Goldberg writes.
So many writers—myself included—can stop short. As Goldberg jokes, we all know the writer who proclaims," And then I woke up!" as a way to end the story.
Whether you're writing fiction or memoir, taking it further is both risk and reward.
How do we do go to the next level?
One way is to believe in your voice. Another is to have a strong understanding of what your story is about. Even silly entertaining novels like the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy had a strong theme and the author knew her intention and her audience. It is surprising, especially in memoir, that writers learn along the way that what they are writing is a fiasco. The original idea or intent bears no resemblance to what they learn later along the journey that the real pull of a story, the real reason they are writing, is to bear witness to something. This always comes as a surprise. I was not who I thought I was…It brings them plummeting down to earth. It required breaking out of habitual thinking and tackling a subject or a life event, or a person who deeply affected them, in a new light and with new eyes.
We live in a weary world, too much is happening. It's easier not to threaten our "status quo" thinking. That's where curiosity kicks in and the writer begins experimenting with expression, voice, a unique way of telling her story and shedding the old preconceived notions of right and wrong, good and bad.
If that quest, that curiosity, that willingness to break old patterns of thinking doesn't happen, the story meanders, peters out. Going further just became a threatening task, upending the "safety" of the person's habitual thinking.
Seeking out the deeper meaning that goes beyond ourselves and into the universal human journey is the creative writer's ultimate quest.
How else do we tap into our story and go further?
Relax and find a place to write that is perfect for you. Believe in yourself and your willingness to make a difference in the world with your writing. That takes courage, a leap of faith, right there.
As I sit here at the kitchen table, a gray and azure April morning sky frames the yellow and lime green forsythia and lawn. A shaft of brilliant sunshine breaks through the clouds. I feel on the brink of something new… a new story, a reflection, the next chapter in my life. And here I sit, writing away.
Of course, a writing group offers invaluable feedback on your work, as long as the feedback is honest. There is an accountability and intention to meeting with a group, setting a date to discuss your work. This is the work of our Women's Writing Circle.
How about you? How do you go about the task of "taking it one step further'?


I really like yogurt. But I'm never, ever going to buy a yogurt maker. It's not even that I'm a little intimidated by the whole live cultures thing, it's just that I don't have space anywhere in my kitchen for another appliance. Even if it looks really cool. And I really, really want one. Because LIVE CULTURES. It's like SCIENCE. I kind of dig the whole food science thing. So anyway, a yogurt maker is out, but I really wanted yogurt. Even though it's not paleo and even though I very rarely eat any kind of dairy. Therefore, logic told me, "make Paleo yogurt!". Without the aforementioned cultures and machinery. Uh, ok.
How did I get into this endeavor again?
How to make Paleo Yogurt – without a yogurt machine!
Reading through lots of homemade yogurt recipes showed that it should be pretty simple. They are essentially all variations on this theme: milk of some kind + culture + thickening agent. Well, I wasn't going to use dairy, so coconut milk would suffice here. I was skipping the whole live cultures bit, anyway, so leaving them out was easy. Now all I needed was a thickener: yay for grass fed gelatin! And bonus points for nutritional value, too! I knew I needed to thicken up the coconut milk enough that it would be creamy but fluffy and spoonable. The downside was that I didn't want it to end up setting completely – anyone remember set yogurts? Bleeearrgh, I used to hate those things. If I wanted jello, I would have gotten jello! Anyway. The way I got around this was simple. I added grass fed gelatin to my coconut milk and refrigerated it until it set. Then I removed it from the fridge and used my food processor to blend it together. Ta-da! Now I had a creamy, yogurt-a-like!
You will want to sweeten and flavor your yogurt to suit your tastes. I added a splash of lime juice to mine to mimic the little bit of tang I personally like in a fresh yogurt. You can leave that out, if you want. Mr Meatified likes his pretty sweet and vanilla flavored, so that's what we've gone for here. If you're not sure how you like your yogurt, just keep tasting and tweaking the recipe before you add the gelatin. You'll get it perfect in no time! One word of warning, though: once you have completed the final blending step, eat your Paleo yogurt right away. If you leave it too long, the gelatin will re-set. At that point, it's still yummy, but not really a yogurt substitute. If your yogurt does reset, simply blend it again until smooth. Top with your favorite fruits and more! I usually make this and let it set overnight, then throw it in the food processor in the morning for a quick, easy breakfast!
I prefer to use grass fed gelatin in my yogurt and other treats. Why? Because the animals from whom the gelatin is sourced are not fed any grains or soy. This grass fed gelatin brand is "hormone free, pesticide free and GMO free" – plus it's easy and cheap to purchase online!
This coconut milk based paleo yogurt-a-like is simple, nutritious and doesn't require either cultures OR a yogurt maker! Top it with your favorite fruit and enjoy! This is very IMPORTANT: follow the instructions on your gelatin! I used this brand of grass fed gelatin and my instructions reflect this.
Add the gelatin to a small jug or cup, along with 3 tbl of the coconut milk. Use a fork to stir the gelatin and coconut milk mixture together. Set aside.
Pour the remaining coconut milk into a saucepan and whisk in the raw honey, vanilla extract and lime juice.
Pour the yogurt mixture into a bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so that the gelatin sets. I usually do this before bed for yogurt in the morning!
When you are ready to eat, pour it into a food processor and process until smooth. Don't over process as this will introduce air into the mixture and the texture won't be right!
Spoon half of the yogurt mixture into serving dishes. Layer with the chopped strawberries.
Top the dishes with the remainder of the yogurt. Garnish with extra chopped strawberries and crushed pistachios if you want to!
Serve and eat immediately once blended. If the yogurt is re-refrigerated or left out too long, it will re-set again. If that happens, you will need to re-blend it.
For best results, use a food processor rather than a blender. Without additional liquid, most blenders will not be able to handle the thickness of the set "yogurt" (although please let me know if you test this out in a blender that is more powerful than my old and cheap version!).
If your kitchen is cold, the "yogurt" will reset fast, leaving you with a "set" texture. If that is the case, you can add some water to the food processor until the texture is to your liking.
If you like your yogurt more loose, use only 2 tsp of gelatin; add more if you like it firmer.

Do you think I could substitute maple syrup for honey? Where I live you cannot get 'real' honey, but I do have a good supply of maple syrup?
Can I assume when you say coconut milk, you mean the canned coconut milk and not the thinner stuff? Also, how do you think it would work to add chia seeds to it before refrigerating?
Yes, absolutely. I mean the full fat coconut milk that comes in cans rather than the beverage type stuff. I haven't tried it with chia seeds – do you mean instead of the gelatin? I'm not sure you would need both. If you used just chia seeds I think you could get it to work without the gelatin as long as your blender can deal with the small seeds and not just miss them, leaving them whole.
No, actually, I was thinking of them in addition to the gelatin. I've been mixing chia seeds and whey powder and coconut milk and vanilla and cinnamon for a pudding like treat.
I think it would be fun to try out: the worst that would happen is that you'd get a pudding, right? And yes to the "I HAVE THE INGREDIENTS"! feeling! 🙂 I'd love to hear how yours turns out!
Instead of gelatin, have you tried using arrowroot powder? I've got a ton and want to give it a shot to help thicken things up.
Also, would it work if you used a probiotic capsule and just mixed it in?
I haven't tried it, but I suspect the arrowroot might just end up making more of a paste.
I'm afraid I have no experience at all with the probiotics, sorry! There are recipes out there for coconut milk yogurt which uses them, though, but it would be much more time consuming.
Thank you, this recipe is more of a pudding. It looks delicious and healthy, but I was looking for a real dairy-free probiotic yogurt.
Without adding sweeteners does it still taste distinctly coconutty, or do the lime and gelatin mellow it out a bit? I'm craving some simple, tangy plain yogurt and am not patient enough to experiment with cultures.
I haven't made it without any sweetener at all, but I don't think it should taste overly coconut-y once you've added the lime. You could definitely increase the lime, too. If you experiment with the base coconut milk / lime juice ratios and taste it before you add the gelatin, you should be able to tweak it to your taste 🙂 Let me know how it turns out if you do make an unsweetened version!
I did it! Well, sorta, I added to much gelatin, I think, so the texture was way off, but the taste was fantastic. I did a test with a 1/2 cup coconut milk and kept squeezing in a half a lime until I was satisfied with the flavor. It ended up a tropical lime, not sweet but not bitter, light taste. Definitely satisfying without sparking "dessert" or "treat" sensations.
So I just made this last night and when I woke up and put it in the blender It wouldn't process correctly. It couldn't get past the tough curdled look and feel. To much gelatin perhaps? I added more milk and re-blended. it helped a but but still wasn't perfect. It was more like a custard texture then a smooth creamy texture.
Hi Clarissa, thanks for letting me know. Lately I've been making this in my new food processor, which has turned out much smoother than my old, cheap blender. When I made it most recently, I realized that because it is super cold in my kitchen the gelatin resets really fast, which means I am having to re-test the recipe. Until I do, I have to recommend that this is made in a food processor for best results. I have also found that you can process in water a little at a time to smooth out the texture. I hope that helps and thank you again for the feedback!
I'm going to try this one for sure. Quick question, where did you get the glasses from. They are adorable, I need to get some!
Hi There, can you please tell me how long the yoghurt will last in the fridge?
I don't know for sure because I've never left it more than a day or two, but after a few days the fat in coconut milk will go rancid – I wouldn't leave it more than 2 – 3 days myself.
HI. If I was to make homemade coconut milk would this still work? I'm asking because I don't think homemade coconut milk is thick like the canned full fat version….
I haven't tried this with homemade coconut milk – I suspect it would work, but you may end up with a thinner, less creamy version.
This is a genius idea. I made it, and the texture was perfect but it had a way off putting taste. But I didn't taste it before I put it the gelatin, so I take full responsibility for that. I'll totally be making this again, I have been dying for a yogurt parfait and this recipe is going to make that happen! Plus, it's inexpensive to make, which is a huge plus!
Thank you so much! I am newly off dairy and yogurt is the only thing I really miss! I made this and it turned out fantastic!!

Anousheh Ansari speaks of passion for science and education in keynote
Technology innovator, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and space explorer Anousheh Ansari gave the keynote address, entitled "Science Centers as Agents of Change," at the ASTC Annual Conference on October 31. Deeply committed to bringing people together for social change, Ansari spoke of the great potential she sees in science centers for inspiring curiosity, creativity, and action on societal issues.
"One thing we need to do is make sure we cultivate imagination in young kids," Ansari said. "Science centers are wonderful, wonderful places to do that."
When Anousheh Ansari immigrated to the United States from Iran as a teenager, she did not speak English. Within a few years, she had earned a degree in electronics and computer engineering and a master's degree in electrical engineering. Since then, she has launched two technology companies and made headlines as the first female private space explorer, traveling to the International Space Station with Russia's Soyuz TMA-9 mission in 2006. As an active proponent of world-changing technologies and social entrepreneurship, Ansari works with organizations like ASHOKA and the PARSA Community Foundation to support social entrepreneurs. The Ansari family provided the title sponsorship for the Ansari X Prize, awarded in 2004 to the first nongovernmental entity to launch a reusable manned spacecraft (SpaceShipOne) into space twice within two weeks.

Study shows that fries prepared in an air fryer contain 70% less fat compared to deep fried ones and the oil is less oxidated. •The amount of acrylamide is about the same, although less fat is used. Probably this is due to the longer preparation time in the air fryer (20 minutes compared to 5 minutes). In new legislation, acrylamide should not exceed 500 μg per kg of potatoes, which can be higher in air fried ones. Acrylamide may increase cancer risk.
•If an air fryer helps you to eat more vegetables, it is a good idea. •If it makes you to think fries are healthy and eat more fries, better not.


Orioles and butterflies pass through the faded flowers.
By beauties living or buried by the lakeside.
The other day, while wandering about YouTube, I stumble upon a Chinese movie, "Liu Ru Shi," and was memorized by the story of her life's journey within the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The amazing cinematography that went into the telling of Liu Rushi's life introduced me to a woman who is known as one of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai." She was celebrated in her time for her beauty and talents and later appreciated and cherished for her integrity and patriotism.
The movie begins at the time she was sold by her family to a prostitute as a stepdaughter and then, as a maidservant, to a rich scholar family. During the time in the Zhou household, she was educated in literature, poetry, music, calligraphy and painting. When Zhou died, she returned to a brothel when his wife and concubines threw her out of the home.
Liu often dressed as man, writing poems and discussing current affairs with scholars. She developed close relationships with a number of scholars such as Li Daiwen, Zong Zhengyu and Chen Zilong. She and Chen Zilong became romantically close; yet, when she learned that marriage was not an option he could consider she ended the relationship.
Years later, Liu introduced herself at home of Qian Qianyi, a well-known scholar and retired official, dressed in men's clothing. Three years after their initial meeting Qian, in his late 50s, chose to disregard social norms and they married. The movie illustrates a close and supportive marriage, the events that occurred during her pregnancy with their daughter, and the struggles they experienced as the rebels entered Beijing and the Qing Dynasty took control.
Liu committed suicided a few months after Qian, 83 years of age, passed away.
Then I can be worry free and back to calmness.
Note: While trying to find published works of Liu Rushi's poems I learned that she had some of her writings published alongside her husband's. Yet, my research has not been very fruitful. If you know of any English translations, I would appreciate hearing from you.
For a table to exist, we need wood, a carpenter, time, skillfulness, and many other causes. And each of these causes needs other causes to exist. The wood needs the forest, the sunshine, the rain, and so on. The carpenter needs his parents, breakfast, fresh air, and so on. And each of these things, in turn, has to be brought about by other conditions. If we look in this way, we'll see that nothing has been left out. Everything in the cosmos has come together to bring us this table. Looking deeply at the sunshine, the leaves on the tree, and the clouds, we can see the table. The one can be seen in the all, and the all can be seen in the one.

Full-up on forwards, England look worryingly thin at the back
There appears little competition for places at centre-half
When England begin to warm-up for Euro 2016 with friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands, Roy Hodgson will have four centre-halves to choose from.
For some time now Chris Smalling, John Stones, Phil Jagielka and Gary Cahill have been the top centre-back quartet in the country, as far as Three Lions selection is concerned.
In fact, in the last 12 months, the only other player Hodgson has selected that's able to line up in the heart of defence is Manchester United's Phil Jones.
Considering the former Blackburn man hasn't played since January, there appears to be little pressure being exerted on the main four candidates from the rest.
Arguably, only one of those apparent Euros shoo-ins is in form. With no strength in depth to call on, that's a real worry.
Stones, heralded as the next great ball-playing centre-back not so long ago, has started just one Premier League game since January 31 for Everton.
Jagielka, Stones' teammate, has partnered Ramiro Funes Mori in his younger countryman's absence, but is part of a defensive unit that has conceded 41 goals in 29 top-flight games.
Cahill has had his rhythm thrown out of kilter by injury and a constantly changing back line at Chelsea, which leaves Smalling – a bright spot in an inconsistent Manchester United season – as the only reliable member of the quartet.
Such a dramatic purge of resources has almost snuck up on England. There was a time when centre back was a position of assured security.
Not so long ago, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Sol Campbell, Jamie Carragher and Ledley King all ensured quality was never sacrificed at the back. Now it appears Hodgson can't even find a fifth defender to supplement his group.
It's a stark contrast to the flipped fortunes at the sharp end of the pitch, where the Three Lions are tripping over the scattered array of options to start in the forward positions.
From the days of goal-shy Emile Heskey playing alongside Michael Owen, England have found themselves with an embarrassment of riches.
Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy have gate-crashed a party that already had Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck in attendance.
Unless the threadbare centre-backs pick up their form in time for France, Hodgson may need all five of them to win games.

The History of Comprehensive Sexuality Education
Comprehensive Sexuality Education is not sex education based on biology. It discusses identity, gender, sexual expression, sexual and reproductive rights; pleasure, birth control, abortion, and the harms of gender stereotypes. It aims to teach children that they're sexual beings, and that they should have sex whenever they feel ready for it. The new Health Framework directs to exclude the terms husband/, and boyfriend/girlfriend, because now kids have more options, including being in non-monogamous relationships. What about morality? Well, that's either religious or judgmental, therefore, it shouldn't be taught.
Biology seems unimportant with CSE. Understanding gender is complicated, but children are expected to assimilate that a boy can turn into a man, a woman, both, neither, or something else. A girl can have her healthy breasts removed, because she thinks she's in the wrong body. How did we even get to this point?
It all started with Alfred Kinsey, the "so-called father of sexual revolution." A zoologist, and a man who has been exposed as a fraud, and whose research methods included the sexual abuse of over two thousand minors, including babies. His research included imprisoned felons, sex offenders. A man who advocated for the protection of pedophiles, and supported any type of sexual deviation, including sex with animals.
His official biography documents the beliefs on which he based his work, and his personal life: "the "human animal" is pansexual. Traditional morality is destructive. Sexuality is not an appetite to be curbed."
Kinsey died in 1956, and although psychiatrists agree he was a depraved human being, his research is still used as the basis of Comprehensive Sexuality Education. Planned Parenthood and SEICUS worship him and portray him as a savior; and in a way, that is what he intended to be, he intended to save humanity from morality and Biblical principles, which he taught detrimental to society. The Kinsey Institute for Sex Research in Indiana continues his legacy of perversion.
CSE's goal is for children to be open to just about any form of sexual expression. It is not about preventing disease, it's about sexual freedom and experimentation. It's a movement intended to redefine society by influencing children's minds. This sexual ideology is dangerous, and it is up to us to be informed and fight back against it, in order to protect our children's innocence.

Muravleanca (în ) este un sat în comuna Sofian-Trubaiovca din raionul Ismail, regiunea Odesa, Ucraina. Are  locuitori, preponderent ruși-lipoveni.

Satul este situat la o altitudine de 12 metri, în partea de est a raionului Ismail, pe malul vestic al lacului Chitai. El se află la o distanță de 50 km nord-est de centrul raional Ismail și la 25 km de stația de cale ferată Fântâna-Zânelor.

Istoric

În secolul al XVII-lea, pe acest teritoriu se afla o tabără a tătarilor nogai, cu numele de Derichioi.

Prin Tratatul de pace de la București, semnat pe 16/28 mai 1812, între Imperiul Rus și Imperiul Otoman, la încheierea războiului ruso-turc din 1806 – 1812, Rusia a ocupat teritoriul de est al Moldovei dintre Prut și Nistru, pe care l-a alăturat Ținutului Hotin și Basarabiei/Bugeacului luate de la turci, denumind ansamblul Basarabia (în 1813) și transformându-l într-o gubernie împărțită în zece ținuturi (Hotin, Soroca, Bălți, Orhei, Lăpușna, Tighina, Cahul, Bolgrad, Chilia și Cetatea Albă, capitala guberniei fiind stabilită la Chișinău).

Pentru a-și consolida stăpânirea asupra Basarabiei, autoritățile țariste au sprijinit începând de la începutul războiului stabilirea în sudul Basarabiei a familiilor de imigranți bulgari și găgăuzi din sudul Dunării, aceștia primind terenuri de la ocupanții ruși ai Basarabiei. Satul Muravleanca a fost fondat în anul 1813 de către coloniști ruși-lipoveni, fugiți de persecuțiile la care erau supuși pe teritoriul vechii Rusii.

La începutul secolului al XIX-lea, conform recensământului efectuat de către autoritățile țariste în anul 1817, satul Derichioi (Muravlevca) făcea parte din Ocolul Chiliei a Ținutului Ismail .

În urma Tratatului de la Paris din 1856, care încheia Războiul Crimeii (1853-1856), Rusia a retrocedat Moldovei o fâșie de pământ din sud-vestul Basarabiei (cunoscută sub denumirea de Cahul, Bolgrad și Ismail). În urma acestei pierderi teritoriale, Rusia nu a mai avut acces la gurile Dunării. În urma Unirii Moldovei cu Țara Românească din 1859, acest teritoriu a intrat în componența noului stat România (numit până în 1866 "Principatele Unite ale Valahiei și Moldovei").

În urma Tratatului de pace de la Berlin din 1878, România a fost constrânsă să cedeze Rusiei sudul Basarabiei. În perioada de până la primul război mondial, s-au intensificat nemulțumirile țăranilor săraci cauzate de lipsa pământului. În ianuarie 1918, activiștii bolșevici au preluat conducerea în sat. Intervenția armatei române a dus la înăbușirea rebeliunii bolșevice și la pacificarea localității.

După Unirea Basarabiei cu România la 27 martie 1918, satul Muravleanca a făcut parte din componența României, în Plasa Fântâna Zânelor a județului Ismail. Pe atunci, majoritatea populației era formată din ruși-lipoveni, existând și o comunitate mică de români. La recensământul din 1930, s-a constatat că din cei 2.138 locuitori din sat, 1.490 erau ruși (69.69%), 19 români (0.89%), 1 grec și 628 de altă etnie. La 1 ianuarie 1940, din cei 2.530 locuitori ai satului, 2.502 erau ruși (98.89%), 24  români (0.96%) și 4 bulgari. În sat exista o mănăstire ortodoxă .

În perioada interbelică, satul s-a aflat în aria de interes a activiștilor bolșevici din URSS, aici existând un comitet revoluționar clandestin care era coordonat de la Ismail. Mai mulți săteni au participat la Răscoala de la Tatarbunar din 1924, organizată de bolșevicii din URSS. În septembrie 1924, au fost descoperite arme ascunse, iar agitatorii bolșevici au fost arestați.

Ca urmare a Pactului Ribbentrop-Molotov (1939), Basarabia, Bucovina de Nord și Ținutul Herța au fost anexate de către URSS la 28 iunie 1940. După ce Basarabia a fost ocupată de sovietici, Stalin a dezmembrat-o în trei părți. Astfel, la 2 august 1940, a fost înființată RSS Moldovenească, iar părțile de sud (județele românești Cetatea Albă și Ismail) și de nord (județul Hotin) ale Basarabiei, precum și nordul Bucovinei și Ținutul Herța au fost alipite RSS Ucrainene. La 7 august 1940, a fost creată regiunea Ismail, formată din teritoriile aflate în sudul Basarabiei și care au fost alipite RSS Ucrainene . Imediat după ocuparea Basarabiei, autoritățile sovietice au deportat mai multe familii de țărani chiaburi în Siberia.

În perioada 1941-1944, toate teritoriile anexate anterior de URSS au reintrat în componența României. Apoi, cele trei teritorii au fost reocupate de către URSS în anul 1944 și integrate în componența RSS Ucrainene, conform organizării teritoriale făcute de Stalin după anexarea din 1940, când Basarabia a fost ruptă în trei părți. Un număr de 263 localnici au luptat în cel de-al doilea război mondial, 128 dintre ei murind pe front.

În anul 1954, Regiunea Ismail a fost desființată, iar localitățile componente au fost incluse în Regiunea Odesa.

Începând din anul 1991, satul Muravleanca face parte din raionul Ismail al regiunii Odesa din cadrul Ucrainei independente. În prezent, satul are 1.213 locuitori, preponderent ruși-lipoveni.

The University of Texas Longhorns and Texas State University Bobcats volleyball teams met for the third time in a year at Gregory Gym on the UT Campus. The last meeting was in the NCAA Regional Playoffs in November 2018.
This match-up had less on the line as both teams were evaluating new players for the Fall 2019 season. The Texas team was physically bigger, but Texas State head coach Karen Chisum has consistently developed high quality teams.
Texas dominated, as in the two prior matches, winning in 25-21, 25-20 and 25-12. The Bobcats played very competitively in the first two sets, twice causing Texas head coach Jerritt Elliott to call time-outs to regroup his team. But the Texas State came out empty in the third set, allowing the Longhorns to cruise to an easy victory.
Texas outplayed their opponents in several key categories including kills (41 to 23), assists (37 to 23) and service aces (8 to 4). The Bobcats led with 31 digs, responding to the Longhorns attack at the net.
#1 Senior Micaya White led Texas with 13 points, 10 kills, 21 total attacks and 4 digs. #33 Logan Eggleston led the team with 26 total attacks, 10 kills and 12 points.
And #2 Gabriel Jhenna contributed 19 of the Longhorns 37 assists.
#18 Lauren Teske led Texas State with 10 points, 8 kills and 25 total attacks. #4 Cheyenne Huskey followed with 6.5 points, 4 kills and 14 total attacks. And #17 Emily DeWalt made 20 of the Bobcats' 23 assists.

He did not think that your mom was you, he knew... he just wanted some mommmaaa action.

The Tripp Tapes
Sun | Nation & World
By John Solomon, The Associated Press — Oct 3rd, 1998
* Impeachment vote looms as the House releases more evidence.
WASHINGTON - In a final salvo before a vote on impeachment hearings, the House on Friday released 4,600 pages of evidence that meticulously detail President Clinton's efforts to contain the Monica Lewinsky scandal as it erupted.
"It was not good," Oval Office secretary Betty Currie told the grand jury, recounting a midnight phone call she received from the president in which he warned that a news story about his relationship with Lewinsky was about to emerge.
The evidence also lays bare Pentagon worker Linda Tripp's efforts to coach Lewinsky about her relationship with Clinton - all the while secretly recording their conversations on tapes that would be turned over to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr.
"You have got to get out of town, big time," Tripp is quoted as telling Lewinsky just before the former intern seeks White House help in finding a job in New York.
The evidence depicts Clinton sending Currie on a mad-dash effort to page and call Lewinsky late at night as the story was breaking. "Do you think you can reach Monica, see what's happening?" the president asked. He also awakened his closest confidant Bruce Lindsey, who refused to tell the grand jury what he and the president discussed that night.
Currie eventually reached Lewinsky - by then already approached by Starr's FBI agents - but the former intern hung up on her. When Currie told that to the president, Clinton said, "she probably was told by her lawyers not to talk to you."
Transcripts of the 20 hours of taped conversations depict Tripp instructing Lewinsky on what to tell the president, intimately discussing sexual encounters and describing the former intern as a "Marilyn Monroe vixen."
The tapes show that Tripp at first told Lewinsky to seek the help of presidential friend Vernon Jordan in her job search, then warned about his motives. "Vernon Jordan does not have your best interests at heart and you know it. ... He has his buddy's best interest at heart," Tripp warns.
The documents cast Tripp as Starr's eager informant. In all, she was interviewed at his offices 23 times between February and June, and testified before the grand jury nine times.
In one interview with Starr's investigators, she delivered up names of dozens of people who knew something about the Clinton-Lewinsky relationship. These included White House steward Bayani Nelvis, who would later tell the grand jury of his own friendship with Lewinsky.
The evidence, three bound volumes of grand jury transcripts and FBI interviews, discloses the exact words of dozens of grand jury witnesses summoned during Starr's seven-month investigation. Drawing on their testimony and other evidence, the independent counsel reported to Congress that there were 11 possible grounds for impeachment of the president.
White House adviser Gregory Craig immediately decried Starr's "failure to include or discuss evidence favorable to the president" in his summary report to Congress and accused the prosecutor of "evidentiary manipulation and misdirection."
The conversations with Currie were among a series of contacts by Clinton that portray the president's worry upon learning in January that Starr had begun investigating his relationship with Lewinsky and the possibility he lied under oath and obstructed justice.
The transcripts suggest that Currie was precise in her recall of key events when she first was interviewed by FBI agents Jan. 24, but in later grand jury testimony became more uncertain. At one point in a grand jury appearance, Currie was repeatedly pressed by prosecutors to confirm that Lewinsky had told her, "As long as no one saw us - and no one did - then nothing happened."
Without answering, Currie asked if she could step outside for a moment and the jury's foreperson told her, "You are reminded you are under oath."
When Currie returned, she said, "My memory is a little better - but not much." She continued, "If that was said, I would have said 'Stop, stop I don't want to hear anymore.' " As the questioning continued, Currie said flatly, "I believe Lewinsky said that."
Clinton is quoted as telling onetime political adviser Dick Morris in the first 24 hours of the controversy: "I may have done enough so that I don't know if I can prove my innocence."
Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles, enlisted by the president in an effort to find Lewinsky a job, told grand jurors that when he learned a Lewinsky story was about to be published he lamented to himself, "Oh, God ... here we go again."
Jordan testified that he talked to Clinton several times about Lewinsky, apprising the president of progress on finding her a job and alerting him when she signed an affidavit in the Paula Jones lawsuit denying she had a sexual relationship with the president.
He said Lewinsky usually came up as a passing topic. "I felt some responsibility to tell him what was going on. So I did that," Jordan testified.
The three new volumes contained no bombshells but were filled with snippets of evidence certain to be seized upon by both sides in the impeachment debate.
Democrats pointed to testimony by Currie that it was Lewinsky - and not the president - who caused subpoenaed gifts to be retrieved and hidden under Currie's bed and that it was Currie, not the president, who first asked Jordan to help find a job for Lewinsky.
"I was doing it on my own," Currie testified. Starr alleges the job search was evidence Clinton sought to buy Lewinsky's silence.
On the flip side, the testimony of witnesses like Morris provided fresh fodder for Republicans to argue that Clinton made a conscious effort to commit perjury in his sworn testimony denying a sexual relationship with Lewinsky, and may also have influenced the former intern to do the same.
"If somebody said to him, 'is Monica lying under oath,' he would say yes," Lewinsky said of Clinton in one of her taped conversations with Tripp. "But when he, on his own, thinks about it, he doesn't think of it in those terms. Okay? He thinks of it as, 'We're being safe. We're being smart."
Currie also provided plenty of evidence against her boss, including testimony about two encounters in which the president tried to get his secretary to agree with some of his false statements.
Republicans acknowledged that the new evidence did not add much to the understanding of the charges made against the president.
"I don't think it contributes much," said Rep. Charles Canady, R-Fla., a member of the House Judiciary Committee.
The committee is scheduled to vote Monday on whether to recommend an impeachment inquiry.
Woven into the transcripts is the testimony of 31 Secret Service agents and officers who were compelled to testify about Clinton's contacts with Lewinsky and their suspicions that there may have been other women.
Secret Service Officer Greg LaDow testified that rumors about the president and women were "getting out of hand" and he decided to report the situation to his superior. LaDow said his superior told him it is "none of our business who the president sees."

Gram Multitool Review & User Ratings
It's hard to tell if Instagram is making it easier or harder to promote your brand on their platform and make the most of the exposure.
When one feature is brought out, another is taken away, so it's a fickle game.
This is why it's good to outsource your engagement – that way; you know that you're getting the work done without there being any risk of the rules changing on you. But not all outsourcing is good and should be used.
Let's review one of these companies.

What is Gram Multitool?
Gram Multitool says a lot about what they do in their name.
They are, literally, an Instagram multitool – this means that they can perform whatever task you require, from interacting with potential followers to scheduling your posts for you.
However, they are your typical Instagram bot which runs some risks, so it's best to approach this kind of software with caution.
They claim that their number one priority is safety. They show this by mimicking the Instagram app perfectly, which means Instagram (hopefully) can't detect that you're using a bot.
This means your risk of using it and getting caught is low, but there's still a risk.
A Review of Gram Multitool
First, We'll Run Through the Positives
Gram Multitool has passed the first test of owning and operating an online business through a website – having a secure https site.
This gives you a higher level of merit with your clients and allows you to store information on your website where it will be safe.
Visible Prices
While their price list isn't extensive by any means, it's certainly available to see online before you sign up for anything.
Because it's only one price package, however, there's doubt around whether you'll be stung in the future by hidden costs.
Now, We'll Run Through the Negatives
While Gram Multitool does have a 'how does it work' section on their landing page, there's nowhere that you can click through to an FAQ and help page that will answer any questions you have before you sign up.
You might have guessed that if Gram Multitool doesn't even have an FAQ and help page, they certainly don't have 24/7 customer support.
This is quite a downside – if the software breaks down on you and you're unable to use it, you won't be able to get in touch with them urgently.
There don't seem to be any real reviews on Gram Multitool's website. In fact, there don't seem to be any reviews at all.
This means that you have to look elsewhere online for anything about anybody's experience with them, which means more work for you.
Verified Payment Gateways
While Gram Multitool has made an effort to https secure their website, they haven't bothered to verify their payment gateways.
This is an important level of security to have on a functioning website.

Is Gram Multitool a Scam? Is Gram Multitool Safe?
In summary, we don't believe that Gram Multitool is a good piece of software to use in conjunction with your Instagram page.
While it does have features like a secure site and visible prices, it doesn't have many other aspects that make up a trustworthy online company when performing a service using the software.
We have found other negative experiences here and here.
We recommend that you stay away from this company and look for better options elsewhere.
We also thought we would take this opportunity to point out another way that Gram Multitool isn't safe.
Instagram has strict copyright laws around both "gram" and "insta", which means that this company is in violation of these based on their name.
Better not to associate with a company that's prepared to infringe on copyright laws, especially when it's related directly to Instagram itself.
