Semenya tests show she is intersexed

Submitted by on

(sounds like she has Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS).)

Caster Semenya is a woman --- and a man.

SYDNEY (AP) - World 800-meter champion Caster Semenya of South Africa has male and female sexual organs, the Sydney Morning Herald said on Friday, posing an ethical and political quandary for athletics' ruling body.

Semenya's reported condition could have grave medical implications.

The Herald said extensive physical examinations of 18-year-old Semenya ordered by the IAAF have shown she is technically a hermaphrodite.

Netherworlds - Chapter 12

As the demon charged again, I took a grab at its ear after I dodged. It didn’t do anything to STOP the hippo, of course, but I think I got it angry. Probably not helpful - it’s not like it can stun itself any harder, right?
I took my booty as it charged, (not my ass, you sick pervs. The shard.) and hit the hippo in the eye, which started oozing. Yay!

Visit Calibre - Free Software for converting to various ebook formats

Calibre is a free piece of software that does a fair job of converting between various ebook and electronic formats. This is Gamma-test software, meaning they aren't charging for it because you are testing it for them. It's a bit clunky and not easy to understand, the manual is incomplete, and sometimes the program seems to have stopped for a bit of tea but it does work.

A revision worthy of so much praise

Submitted by on

A little over a year ago, I read a story that captivated me. That story was "Tragedy of the Spirit". The Authoress was a friend whom I met years previous. Mellissa, She was a wonderful friend whom had a demeaner of strength and determination I have only seen a few times in my life. When I read "Tragedy" the first time I was overcome with raw emotion and sadness as to how the human spirit can be wrecked by such sensless acts of violence towards children, let alone human beings. I would never had imagined what Mellissa went through until I read her story.

Cavendish wins again.

Submitted by on

The Manx Missile makes it two in a row at the Tour of Missouri, and his twenty third win of the season - including six stages of the TdF.

The downside is that I won't see him next week when I marshal on the Tour of Britain, because he's in the US. However, Bradley Wiggins is riding so that should be good. Remember he came fourth overall in the TdF and gave Lancie boy a bit of a fright.

At a dead run?

Submitted by on

After having typed in my blog yesterday, I received a phone call.

Now before I go on, I should point out that we only returned our documents to the solicitors about a fortnight ago, which meant that it should take a further four to six weeks before exchange and completion. Now you're up to speed, I can press on...

Yesterday's phone call was a bit of a revelation.

True to Life End of the Summer Essay? I've been up all night crying, although I wouldn't describe it as a cruel fate like one of my stories. I debated with myself about whether to discuss my health, since I don't want to make it more of a focus than it already is. Yesterday was Labor Day, and I attended the obligatory end of the season picnic with my family. What could have been horrible turned into glorious.

Finally some movement

Submitted by on

Well, I'm finally able to start writing again. I had the aortic valve replaced in my heart August tenth and even though the body was willing, I couldn't wrap my mind around writing. For some reason I just didn't want to write. Today I finished the next installment of Princess and sent it to Sephrena to edit. Hopefully it will be up soon and I'll be able to get my butt in gear to continue the saga. Thanks all for your patience, Arecee

My stomach felt like a huge lump of ice had dropped into it as Captain Richards stood up and said, "Will Andrea Martin please approach the tribunal."

Wondering how long my wobbly legs would support me, I stood up and took a step forward before saying, "Actually, it's Andrew."

The captain frowned as he looked down at me from the makeshift podium. "What was that?"

Oh dear, not more from Tanya Allan?

On the move?

Submitted by on

Hi all.

I must apologise to a number of people here - I hope they know who they are - for not doing this in a personal message, but things have ramped up a gear or three here.

We have a definite buyer for our house and whilst it pains us to have to leave, selling up does at least give us the opportunity to start afresh and clear our debts, which have mounted by leaps and bounds over the last year since I haven't been working.

We have not exchanged yet, so everything's not a done deal and we're hoping that nothing goes wrong between now and the fabled completion.

Trey and Me: 4 - Full Moons, the Boyfriend and the Kiss

Submitted by on

I kept quiet about the whole thing when I was in the car with Grace. This dressing up like a girl thing, the wedding, Trey, it was all freaking me out.

And here I was, dressed in a pair of Grace's shorts and a spaghetti strap top, riding with her to a beauty salon. I was also wearing a little makeup that Grace had applied shortly after picking me up from Trey's.

I was really hoping to never miss a day of Venus Cursed!, but that's out the window now, isn't it? Sorry about yesterday, things didn't go quite the way I expected. I went to a flea market with some relatives and didn't get home until four or five, which was as I planned. Not unexpectedly, I wasn't able to get much writing done on the way over and back, either. But I'd planned on spending most of the rest of the day writing. But things kept cropping up to interrupt my plans until eight or nine, and by then I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open!

“Try this one.” She smirked, handing him a stave made from gleaming ebony wood with silver caps at both ends.

“This is magic!” He responded looking the weapon over with a curious expression on his rather plain face. “What does it do?”

“You’re the mage,” Mina answered simply, “you figure it out, but you can hit people with it until you do.”

What I learned during my Summer Vacation

By Becky Dunbar
English Composition and Grammar I

It started like the usual summer fare; glad to be out of school for the summer, just hanging around with friends, the usual Summer Vacation stuff. I was luxuriating in the feeling of being away from school and not having to learn anything. Then I heard my Uncle Dave had tried to kill himself over the Fourth of July holiday; almost succeeded, too, but he, or should I say, she is doing better now and I will be referring to her in the feminine from this point on since she is my Aunt Dawn now.

Home at last.

Well it's great to be home. I just got back from my sisters house in alabama last night. Man it was boring down there. I took my nephew to school and back every day. Round trip it was an hour and 40 minites. Other than that I could not do much. I was broke. No money to spendy. Then my sister only had dial up for interner and her computer is like 10 years old. It took 10 minites to check my email. I went to a books a million store to use their wifi and it cost me $4.95. I had to keep entering my password for the day. it sucked.

A Fine Summer Day



by Andrea Lena DiMaggio


She woke up early, excited about the day. She turned over in bed and was greeted by a warm, welcoming kiss from her love, which made her think twice, but only briefly before rising for the day. She got up, went to her dresser, found everything in order and put on her favorite lingerie. After putting on her hose, she walked to her closet to find her favorite outfit, the charcoal silk full skirted dress, which went oh so well with the charcoal grey pumps. After putting it on she walked to her vanity and sat down and applied her makeup, making her feel so lovely and attractive. Her love came to her with a nice cup of tea and placed it on the vanity, freeing them both for another warm embrace and kiss.
