Critical Success Factors of Technological Innovation and Diffusion in Higher Education(2013)
AbstractThis case study surveyed faculty members and information technology (IT) leaders within the State System of Higher Education (SSHE) and at Southern Regional State University (SRSU) to examine their perceptions of technological innovation, adoption, and diffusion in higher education. The data gathered identified seventeen critical success factors affecting technological innovation, adoption, and diffusion and was used to evaluate how the perceptions faculty compared to those of IT leaders within a single university setting. Examining and comparing the perceptions of these two groups regarding critical success factors for innovation, adoption, and diffusion of technology provided insight into elements influencing technological innovation efforts. This insight may be beneficial for enhancing future endeavors and building collaborations. Rockart's (1979) Critical Success Factor (CSF) model was used as the theoretical framework for this research and a mixed methods research approach was used to examine the perceptions of faculty and IT leaders. Data collection methods combined web-based surveys for all participants and in-depth follow-up interviews with selected participants. An initial survey was distributed to a peer expert group of 2,091 individuals to solicit feedback regarding CSFs for technological innovation, adoption, and diffusion in higher education. The responses to the initial survey were collected and categorized into a compilation of seventeen CSFs. Separate rankings were calculated for the faculty and IT leader groups as well as for the combined group of peer experts. This information was used to determine the median CSF. The results and analysis of the initial survey were used to inform the final survey instrument, which was distributed to all full-time and part-time faculty and IT leaders at SRSU. A quantitative analysis was performed to gain a better understanding of the similarities and differences of faculty and IT leaders' perceptions regarding the research topic. Information obtained from this study may be used to provide additional insight regarding innovation, adoption, and diffusion of technology for similar institutions.

Want a deal on the batteries, flashlights and other supplies to replenish your emergency prep kit amid this winter's snow and cold? Need to stock up ahead of the coming spring tornado season?
Make a note that Alabama's third severe weather sales tax holiday is Friday, Feb. 21 through Sunday, Feb. 23. Items on the approved list have no state sales tax that weekend, and more than 200 counties and municipalities statewide waive local sales taxes, as well.
What's on the list? The things you'd expect: flashlights, lanterns, first aid kits, fire extinguishers and battery or hand-cranked radios.
Also some things you might not expect: cell phone chargers, bungee cords or rope, plastic sheeting and tie-down kits, and duct tape.
There's more: coolers, ice packs, smoke/fire/carbon monoxide detectors and window film. And this biggie: plywood.
Alabama recommends having enough supplies for 72 hours following a disaster. And as Alabama Retail President Rick Brown noted in a statement, "Severe weather can occur at any time, in any season."

Over the past several months, TRUTH has been a recurring theme in my life. What is the TRUTH about a situation, a circumstance, a thought or a perspective? TRUTH is hard to pin down. Even when we believe that something is TRUE, it may or may not be true at all?? The world is not black and white…TRUTH is elusive. Our minds can trick us into believing something is true that is utterly false. Satan (the DEVIL) – the ultimate deceiver- loves to attack us which makes our search for the TRUTH even more elusive.
I have discovered that TRUTH is dependent…what is TRUE to one person is not True to others. What is TRUE in one situation is not often true in another almost exact situation. Truth in life is dependent on all the circumstances, thoughts, emotions, relationships and ideas that surround it. Searching for TRUTH is frustrating and confusing and empty. Every year as experiences, hurts, failures, and even successes occur…the search for truth can make us literally insane! In my humaness, I have less of an understand about TRUTH now than ever. BUT…..
Jesus said "I am the way, the TRUTH and the Life"…Now is the time for TRUTH! The TRUTH is that I need Jesus or my head will keep spinning out of control trying to figure out TRUTH on my own. I cannot do it! I need the TRUTH- I need JESUS. Through faith in Him, I will be set free form the bondage of being confused about TRUTH! I don't need to know the TRUTH when I have Jesus. In all essence the truth does not matter~ LOVE matters! And that's why Jesus is TRUTH because he is LOVE (God is LOVE). And LOVE covers a multitude of sins…TRUTH is irrelevant when true love exists. The only TRUTH in life is LOVE…the UNCONDITIONAL Love that God has given us through Jesus Christ. I want that love, I want that TRUTH in my life…And I want to BE a GIVER of that TRUE LOVE!
That's the TRUTH!
And I LOVE YOU! Because God Loves you!
Today my little Layla is home sick…I am not sure how sick she actually is, but she was determined that she didn't want to go to school today and that she felt bad enough to stay in bed with NO TV all day. So…she's in bed. I hope she gets feeling back to her "spunky" self soon.
My workout yesterday was attacked by HIF~ I warmed up for a little over 20 mins on the r-bike and then only got in 2 of my lifts (bench and lat pulls) and they were cruddy at that. I just didn't feel it and I had back pain to boot…needless to say my period came a few hours later. Today I feel a bit better and am happy it's already cycle day 2…buffing is coming soon!! YAY!! The good thing about yesterday is that I was totally "nesting"…so that means I was a total Domestic Diva! I cleaned, cooked, did laundry, sheets, etc… I even cooked a turkey! YUM!
POA- run outside, finish up some upper body exercises that I skipped yesterday and do some abs too.
Other to do items:
Phone calls regarding bills, taxes, business, etc…
Have a good day and remember what is TRUE today…Love is TRUE!

I like to use professional people wearing formal scrub. They look so smart into scrub tops and bottoms. When I was admitted to hospital that time, I can see those nurses and doctors wearing different scrubs. Some how when you see them, you will feel like having some security. As you know, hospital always give us one kind strange of scaring feeling. But when I see them wearing formal scrubs and around me, I will feel I am secure here. LOL….strange feeling right?

And here is the mood board that inspired it. I loved the colors, and I loved the "Home" elements. I put a little twist on it and instead of scrapping my actual physical home, I scrapped my metaphoric home...my fabulous hubby and daughter.
I started with a watercolor background colors in a softer tone of the ones in the mood board. Looking around our house and considering what makes our home a "home," I found myself drawn to the huge photo wall we have in our living room. The photos of my family are definitely a part of what makes our house a home. That is how the doodled picture frame idea came to be. I've seen some doodled frame on pinterest and loved the idea, but they never seemed to fit with what I was working on. This time they did! Woot woot! :)
Lots of vellum ephemera on this layout, and I added some pen doodles to alot of that as well so it would contrast against the soft watercolor. There's Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper, Basic Gray, and Heidi Swapp all mixed in there.
I also cut a couple of squares of vellum and made little pockets to fill the side frames, stuffed with sequins and hole-punched hearts in various sizes. I need a sewing machine in a bad way...I would have loved to stitch the pockets but didn't want to go through the agony of handstitching so I just hot glued them.
Come be inspired by this month's mood board and take advantage of the chance to win an awesome prize from this month's sponsor!

Organizing Curriculum UnitsThursday, July 16, 2015
I love to store digital files on the computer. It's easy to see what I have and access them, but that's all they are: digital. At some point they need printed and often laminated, and then I go back to the metal conundrum at the back of my classroom.
This year will be different.
We started the Journey's curriculum last year. It was a hard adjustment for me. I loved novel studies, creating curriculum and activities. It was a change. It's still different, but I'm adjusting.
There is a lot to Journey's. Some of my students catch on quick. Others struggle with the concepts. Although the program offers some centers and worksheets, I've found the program at times to be a little boring. So I did some creating, to make centers and activities {especially for when working with small groups}. I don't want to forget an activity in the great gray abyss this year.
Introducing my binder system.
I love binders. I love the ability to flip through and see everything with out having to open and close a gazillion folders. The whole unit is sorted. For my Journey's units there are sections for vocabulary, spelling, target skill, decoding, affixes, and grammar activities; quick and easy to find.
I co-teach with the special education teacher, so I'm hoping that this system works out a little better with sharing resources. The binders will be right by my desk, organized, and it'll be easy to take out an activity or two as needed. At least that's the hope for now.
How do you organize big units? Have you tried a similar system? How did it work for you? I'm hoping I can make things a little easier on myself!
{If you are a 4th grade teacher and would like to take a look at the resources I have for Journey's please take a look here}

I'm also an out of sight, out of mind person. My file cabinet is just for storage these days. I've moved my resources to a cloud. I try my best to keep everything organized in specific folders with detailed names.ReplyDelete
I started off with a binder system exactly like this for my first teaching assignment. I ended up moving to a digital version, which is organized in exactly the same way. I have a folder for each unit, and then my subfolders contain all of the same heading as my binder tabs. I did this because I was getting frustrated trying to keep my master binder updated with the most updated version of everything (I didn't have access to a printer in my classroom). I also like that I can share it with myself at home (via dropbox) without having to lug big binders back and forth. :)ReplyDelete
I am on the same "journey", having adopted the same series. I am also moving to the same system but using 1" binders for each story. The teachers are changing classes instead of the students this year, so it will keep my resources at my fingertips regardless of the room. Great minds, huh?! ;)ReplyDelete
I converted to binders 2 years ago and I love how easy it is to find resources and how clean they look. My only problem - putting things in the binders throughout the year - I have a secret pile of pages and units and resources that need to find a binder home : )ReplyDelete
I love comments! I also like to reply by email (so you can see my response). Please make sure that option is turned on in your profile settings so you can see my reply or leave your email address here! Thanks again for taking time to comment!!

AllergyKids is Seven, and We've Got A Seven Year Itch
Seven years ago, AllergyKids launched. It was Mother's Day.
Our lives had changed forever over a plate of scrambled eggs just a few months before.
As my daughter's face swelled shut, I didn't want to witness what I saw that morning, to do the work that had to be done, to find the courage that would be needed.
In all candor, seven years ago, as all of this was hitting, there was a deep yearning to somehow go back to the simplicity that we had known before that breakfast.
But that would never happen.
I couldn't unlearn what I went on to learn or forget what I had seen.
And as I watched her struggle to breathe that morning, my life forever changed.
What I unearthed that day – that the number of children with the peanut allergy had doubled from 1997-2002, that food allergies had become so pervasive in preschool children – was the beginning of a much greater story.
As I learned about food allergies, I learned more than I could have imagined.
In those early days, in a scramble to get information about this life-threatening condition, parents had to pay for access to learn about it. I struggled with that, as I knew other parents might not be in a position to do the same, so I started AllergyKids, a website for parents and caregivers that provided free information and community support to those dealing with this condition.
Our mission grew to include the 1 in 3 American children that now has allergies, asthma, ADHD or autism, as I quickly learned of the 400% increase in the rates of food allergies, the 300% increase in the rate of asthma, a 400% increase in the rate of ADHD and a 1,500% increase in the rate of autism in a twenty year period.
Today, seven years later, too many Americans have these conditions, now known as "the 4As". The rates of allergic conditions ni the US are far higher than in other countries, and your likelihood of developing them increases if you move here. Autism now affects 1 in 54 boys in our country, while in other countries, its lack of prevalence means that the numbers aren't even tabulated. Asthma deaths have increased 56% in a 20 year period. And while the United States only represents 5% of the world's population, 90% of the world's ADHD prescriptions are written for our children. But it's not just the children who are struggling under these conditions, 41% of us are expected to get cancer in our lifetimes, while 1 in 2 minority children are expected to be insulin dependent by the time they reach adulthood. The Centers for Disease Control now reports that cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15.
Our children have earned the title "Generation Rx" and "Generation XL" due to their escalating rates of obesity and these other conditions. This is so hard to hear. But we have to listen.
According to the CIA, which ranks life expectancy at birth for children born in countries around the world, the United States is nowhere near the top of that list. As a matter of fact, for children born in the United States, life expectancy at birth places us at 50 on that list, with countries like Bosnia, South Korea, Puerto Rico and others ahead of us. Why does this matter? According to the CIA, "Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country."
No one wants it this way.
Seven years into this work, I want to say I've had enough or write funny jokes about a "Seven Year Itch", but I can't. The severity of the issue is too great. I have met parents who have lost children to allergic reactions, farmers who have lost wives to cancer and mothers who have lost toddlers to leukemia. But I have also met others whose creative intellect, profound commitment and relentless scientific inquiry prove that together, we can create change this.
We need all-hands-on-deck.
Mounting scientific evidence continues to point to the role that our increasingly contaminated food supply plays in the health of our children – from the pesticides being poured onto our food crops in the field, to the synthetic chemicals being added to our processed foods in production. Independent science, along with the President's Cancer Panel and the American Academy of Pediatrics, highlight the role that these non-food ingredients now going into our food supply are having on the health of our loved ones.
So while our food looks the same, a growing body of scientific research is telling us that it is not. It is painfully revealing to us that it is loaded with additives and all kinds of chemicals. And we don't know what the combination of these chemicals will do to a little boy with asthma or to a mother who is pregnant with her first child. Nor do we know what the long-term impact of these added ingredients might be to the health of a child with autism.
In light of the growing number of children who now have asthma, diabetes, ADHD, autism or allergies, can we afford to continue to take this risk, while other countries around the world exercise precaution?
Mounting scientific evidence on these new ingredients is what is prompting other countries to take action and remove these ingredients from their food supplies, especially from the food fed to children. In other words, in other developed countries, precaution is exercised as people take priority over profits.
But not here.
At least, not yet.
Because while we can't change the beginning of our stories, we can change the end. Each and every single one of us has the ability to affect remarkable change. For some, it might be simply changing a few items in their grocery cart, for others, it might be reaching out to a child's school and for another, it might be reaching out to a member of Congress or the FDA or sending a letter to the CEO of a food company.
No matter what we choose to do, it is in doing something, together, leveraging our collective talents, that we will create change.
The future of our country is dependent on the health of our children. They are "adults in waiting," and while they are only 30% of our population, they are 100% of our future.
The economic prosperity, national security and future innovation and productivity of our country are 100% contingent on their health. Let's value it accordingly.

Things I wish I had known as a younger girl in the world of sex:
- Just because they're your boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other, doesn't mean you are obligated to have sex (or do anything) with them.
It is your choice.
- Just because you start an intimate act (oral, sex, foreplay, etc.) doesn't mean you have to complete it.
You can change your mind midway, just communicate it to your partner. Let them know (verbal or non-verbal) that things have changed.
- Talk to someone about the good and the bad sex.
Pick a safe person, a judgement free person (i.e. best friend, sister, long distance buddy) to talk it out, air it out and let the sex-stigma go. Also in case something that you're doing is dangerous or just a little off (and I'm not talking about kinky shit), but if something is off and you're not sure, that person can help you talk it out.#beagoodhuman

Family instability has a deep effect on the environment in which children grow up. There have been many studies on how parental separation impacts a child's mental health and wellbeing, but few understand the matter better than those who deal with those families directly on a daily basis. Tracy Miller, a family lawyer in Kitchener, has published an insightful piece on parental separation on her blog. Her firm, Miller Law, has dealt in family law for over 20 years; in addition to separation and divorce, these lawyers also deal with custody and access issues.
How a Family Lawyer in Kitchener Views the Impact of Separation
Too often, Miller writes, children whose parents are separating can suffer a form of "collateral damage" in the process. This happens even when parents think they're doing everything by the book.
Children are incredibly perceptive. Their curious minds are built to soak in as much information as possible; unfortunately, that includes the negative emotions that surface in parents during the breakdown of a relationship.
"If you are an emotional wreck because you are always stressed and worrying about your divorce, of course it is going to affect how you talk to your kids", Miller writes.
While parents often try their best to spare their children from the details of the separation, it is far more difficult to mask feelings of anger and unhappiness that arise during the process. This can have a powerful and long-lasting impact.
"Sadly, 10 to 20 years later, they can recite the details of their parent's divorce", writes Miller, "And they are telling this to a divorce lawyer because history has repeated itself. Just as their parents did, they are getting divorced."
This observation is backed up by studies that show evidence that those who experience a parental divorce are significantly more likely to divorce themselves. The truth is, a KW-Law family lawyer may well serve two generations of divorcees over the course of her career.
What Parents Should Avoid When Separating
One thing parents must do, according to Miller, is resist the temptation to recount to kids "their side of the story." While parents may see it necessary to defend themselves, this behaviour can unwittingly shift stress onto the children.
"It leaves them in the middle, not knowing who to believe or blame…and powerless to do anything about it."
Examples include pointing to the other parent's lack of support as a reason why you can't pay for something for the child, or blaming the other parent for not allowing the child to visit. The lawyers at Miller Law have seen this occur time and time again, since these layers also deal with custody and access.

The Vikings are the forefathers of today's Danes, Norwegians and Swedes in the so-called Viking period (800 - 1066), characterized by conquest voyages from Scandinavia to Britain and Denmark, Iceland, in Greenland, North America and elsewhere.
Norwegian Vikings settled in Orkney, Shetland, Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland. From Greenland to get to North America long before Columbus. In addition, participated in the Danish Viking expeditions.
Danish Vikings captured the eastern half of England, the troops sailed up the River Seine to Paris and another in Ireland.
Swedish Vikings (Variagans), who are already in the 7th and 8 a century dominated the eastern Baltic region (Grobina), especially as traders penetrated the rivers in Eastern Europe, where he met with Slavic and Arab merchants (such as the Volga River), treated themselves or to the territory of the Byzantine Empire (were bodyguards of the Byzantine emperors ) and the Arabic world. Part of their more or less ruled part of Russia to Kiev and the Black Sea, attacked Constantinople. Also invaded the Muslim Iberian Peninsula and deep into the Mediterranean Sea. In most Western historians are Variagans founders of the state of Kievan´s Russia, the majority of Russian historians rejected that argument. more...

Posted by Eleanor Rochman
There is something gorgeously comforting about being in the presence of a fellow human who emanates simple sagacity. It is a rare quality to find in academia; a world unstably grounded on pretension and founded by shrewdly analytical fathers. We read Rousseau, study Socrates, and pick apart Plato only to be faced with the same questions that are an innate part of every human's condition regardless of the specificities of one's individual experience. We are all forced to question our identity and what it means to "be ourselves" in this world. And some, I believe, are gifted with an uncomplicated wisdom, which allows them to more easily identify with their individual essence without pretense or desire to brand themselves.
Betty taught me this. Betty is the cleaning lady of North quad's very own McClellen, she has been cleaning at Skidmore for over 25 years and conducts herself with an elegant simplicity of which took time and deliberation to cultivate. I think she knows herself. I think she knows herself so well that little bothers her. I think that little bothers her because, well, she has to clean up after us.
She is a people person, and so (don't worry you guys), she likes us. However, as Betty even describes, the student-staff relationship can be a bit uncomfortable at first if one does not realize that it is based on reciprocity. If we maintain a certain level of individual cleanliness then Betty will be able to more easily clean the facilities. However, this concept does not only apply to the immediate scenario; our relationship to humanity also needs to be one that works through a means of cooperation. In the words of Betty, "we work off of each other."
When Betty first started working at Skidmore this relationship was still uncomfortable, this reciprocity had not been realized to its fullest potential by either side. There was a separation between the students and maintenance staff resulting from an associative ambiguity; neither party knew what kind of interaction was appropriate. And I would go as far as to say that this dilemma exists on all levels of interaction.
Over the years Betty has observed this disconnection to stem from a lack of confidence and trust. She says all you have to do is "be yourself" and the more comfortable you feel around someone, the more comfortable they will feel around you. A simple "hi" will most always receive an equal and opposite reaction, so say hi to the world and more than likely, the world will say hi back.
But then I asked Betty, if it is hard to "be yourself" as it is questionable whether or not we can even know exactly who we are? And she said, well yes, it's a "wishy-washy" concept - "it" meaning identity. In fact, it's as wishy washy and complex as the chemicals with which she uses to clean; they are toxic but necessary and similarly, the contemplation of identity is precarious but inherently human.
It was refreshing to be able to have a conversation with a member of our community that is not sucked into the vacuum of academia. Betty understands and remembers what it's like to be young like us. She knows how much of a bubble the Skidmore campus can become - how isolated its functioning is from the grand scheme of general society.
Her answers to my questions were so simple, yet so honest. Betty made me realize that I did not need to read any chapter from one of the "great books" in order to understand that it takes time to feel comfortable with your place amongst humanity. Her wise and pleasant gaze made me realize how far I am from becoming a simple sage and I hope to one day know myself as easily as she seems to identify herself.
Unfortunately, Betty will be leaving us next semester for retirement. She says she can't wait to find a way to get out of the cold, sleep in, garden, and have time to take care of her pets (of which one is a parakeet). Also, she is very much looking forward to the warm summer days when she can kick back, put up her feet and say "here I am," and I'm simply sagacious.

Alphabet Riddles by Susan Joyce
Perusing some of the non-fiction fare for my 5 year old, I stumbled on this great find. My daughter is a new-ish reader, starting kindergarten in a month. We often engage in on-the-fly family games rooted in literacy and math. This book selection served exactly that purpose.
Each page in the book offers a hint in rhyme for each letter in the alphabet. The first letter and last letter of each clue is offered with dashes for each missing letter inbetween.
My daughter read each clue aloud before guessing the answer. Being a new reader, however, she's still working on fluency. Although she understood the words she was reading, the answer didn't come to her for at least one clue until after I read it aloud. We discussed how using punctuation cues, expression and intonation can really make a difference. For example, I start with a E and end with and O. I'm a sound that repeats. I bounce back and grow. When you say, "Hello." I say, "Hel-lo-lo-lo." What am I? Do you know? Read dryly this clue can be a bit hard to figure out. But try it with expression and it's a snap.
In addition to guessing the answer to each riddle aloud, I also wrote down the answer while my daughter and I tried to sound it out. Some came easily, like "cup" and "yoyo" while others were a bit more challenging, like "ocean" and "television."
Alphabet Riddles is a great read aloud choice for early readers. It's fun and offers plenty of casual opportunities to discuss patterns, sounds and fluency.

Austin Moore - Elizabeth Barrett Browning Salon
Charles J. Connick Associates, Inc., Boston, Massachusetts
The dove inside a circle of blue on this fourth window symbolizes the contemplative nature of the eleventh sonnet. Elizabeth is rethinking her decision not to marry Robert. However, her hands are still crossed as she continues to reject him.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's
Sonnets from the Portuguese
Sonnet 11
AND there if to love can be desert,
I am not all unworthy. Cheeks as pale
As these you see, and trembling knees that fail
To bear the burden of a heavy heart,--
This weary minstrel-life that once was girt
To climb Aornus, and can scarce avail
To pipe now 'gainst the valley nightingale
A melancholy music,--why advert
To these things? O Beloved, it is plain
I am not of thy worth nor for thy place!
And yet, because I love thee, I obtain
From that same love this vindicating grace
To live on still in love, and yet in vain,--
To bless thee, yet renounce thee to thy face.
To climb Aornus and can scarce avail to pipe
now 'gainst the valley nightingale.
In memory of Austin Moore
Gift of Mr. & Mrs. Charles R. Moore

But perhaps that's only how it feels at the moment however the last few months have been horrible, and this 'horrible' looks set to continue a while, until I work out how to process it all.
If I told you the story of it all, you wouldn't believe me but it's been surreal ... so surreal.
Mostly I'm living very quietly while wishing I was off wandering.
Here's to autumn being a better season, and to trams being 'enough' for the moment.

On 31 October, Georgia State trooper Nathan Bradley was put in a heartbreaking situation when he discovered four costume-clad children in the home of a couple who had died in a vehicle crash. Bradley, who is leading a GoFundMe page for the children, explained why he decided not to tell the children they had become orphans on Halloween.
On the GoFundMe campaign, Bradley explained he received details about an accident with possible fatalities and soon headed to the home of the couple killed. Bradley, along with a county deputy and the deputy coroner, knocked on the couple's front door and were met by four children in costume. Standing in front of them were 13-year-old Freddy Krueger, a 10-year-old daughter of Dracula, an 8-year-old wizard and a 6-year-old firefighting ninja turtle.
The children quickly notified the officials that their parents were not home, leading the three to search for the children's closest relative. Bradley recounted being able to reach the children's paternal grandmother, who was seven hours away in south Florida. "I immediately fell ill. Not only would these children discover they lost both parents, but would spend their Halloween in a county jail until somebody could tend to them; it just wasn't right," Bradley wrote.
Ultimately the trooper decided to hold off telling the children about their parents, instead taking them out for food, burgers and chips from a nearby McDonalds and Burger King. As he took the children to the station, Bradley learned the children had been homeschooled and about their father's service in the US Army. The children were met with candy, popcorn and some Disney films once at post.
Bradley went on to explain that the children's grandmother arrived before dawn. The trooper and the grandmother decided to tell the children of their parents's fate on 1 November to preserve the holiday. Before the children took off, Bradley wrote the eldest a note on the bill of his trooper ball cap saying he should reach out if he's ever in need.
The teenage boy eventually reached out to Bradley to tell him that it would cost $7,000 to transport his parents to Florida and have their funerals. Bradley decided to set up a crowdfunding page to help raise the money. At the time of publishing, the page has received over $333,000 which will go into any funeral costs and a fund for the children and their high education costs.
Bradley told The Washington Post that he hopes he was able to save the children's Halloween, but that the night has definitely left a mark on his life. "I have not been able to sleep straight since," he said. "My mind is constantly running. It has scarred me. It has. Very rarely do you have to do this to four kids."

I just bought a website that was already set up for me and I really wasn't sure what to do with it. I knew I wanted to put ads on it and monetize it in any way that I could. I started doing some research and I found that I would need to have a high rank in Google in order to earn money. I wasn't sure how to do anything with the website in order to get higher SEO rankings.
I searched to find out what I would need to do in order to rank higher in Google but it all sounded like a foreign language to me. No matter how many times I read about it, or what I read, it just didn't make sense to me. I posted on a forum that I joined back when I was thinking about getting a website. I asked how to get higher SEO rankings and I was told by a few people that I could do the SEO myself. Once I said that I didn't know anything about it, the people there told me that I would need to hire the best SEO company I could find to help me. They gave me a few names of companies, but ultimately told me that I would need to search to find a good company and do my research before hiring them.
I went to Google and searched for SEO companies. I found a few in my area, but I found even more that worked online exclusively. I visited their websites and learned what I could there about them. It seemed like they were all a great match for me and they were all good companies. I wanted to find out more about them and what their clients that had hired them in the past had to say about them. I did another Google search with the different company names I found and reviews. I found lots of websites out there that had reviews for different SEO companies. I read and learned what I could about them on these websites. I gained a good bit of knowledge about the different companies. There was one company that was mentioned again and again and there were so many great things said about them. My final decision after doing my research was to hire them.
I contacted Ignite Digital through their website and let them know I was interested in the SEO services. I hired them to optimize my website for me so I could earn money from it. Within just a few days, this company had completely revamped my website and had it ranking in Google. I was so thrilled with the results I got from them. I even went back and left reviews about them online so others that were considering hiring an SEO company would hire them. Ignite Digital worked wonders for my website and they are definitely the best SEO company out there.

Will of Sarah Finlay
In re
The last will and testament of Sarah Finlay of Saint John's in the Island of Newfoundland Widow, I give and bequeath to my daughter Sarah Finlay during her lifetime or as long as she shall remain unmarried the land with two dwelling houses and other buildings thereon belonging to me situate on Gower Street in the town of Saint John's aforesaid, being No 201 & 203 on said street and after her decease or from the time of her marriage I give the same to my son Jabez N. Finlay upon trust that he shall pay the net rents and issues arising from said houses to my three daughters Elizabeth A. Brown, Isabella Stacy and the said Sarah Finlay in equal shares to each, and in the case of the death of either of them the said Elizabeth Brown, Isabella Stacy or Sarah Finlay to pay the said net rents and issues in equal shares to the survivors and the whole of said rents and issues to the last survivor, and after the decease of said last survivor I give and bequeath the said land and houses to my sons Robert Finlay and Jabez N. Finlay in equal shares. And I do hereby constitute and appoint my said son Jabez N. Finlay my sole executor of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me at any time made. In witness whereof I the said Sarah Finlay have to this my last will and testament set my hand and seal the thirty-first day of October one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six-
Sarah Finlay (LS) Signed, sealed, published and declared by the above named Sarah Finlay as and for her last will and testament in presence of us both being present at the same time and who at her request and in her presence and in presence of each other have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses, Henry V. Brown, G. Mortimer Rendell.
Certified correct,
Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are either hand-written copies or in later years typed copies of a, "last will and testament," written or typed by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation. The originals were kept by the executor.
We who have typed these wills, have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm, in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they may be.

I've always wondered why something like this wasn't used??? Interested to hear feedback from others on this.
Wife of Chad (C4/5 since 1988), mom of a great teenager
I have never heard of this but the idea is encouraging. I will review the site.
I have a superpubic catheter. The Dr puts a hole through your abd into your bladder and inserts a catheter. I have a bag on at all time. Put on a leg bag if going out. I go once a month to have it changed by a nurse. This can be done at home as well. It's great because you don't need to be cathed every few hours it drains automaticly. Empty when full. Less chance of infection. Once a day flush your cath with sterile water and a big syringe. This procedure is done in hosp all in one day. Having a permanent indwelling can cause damage to the urethra over time. Only get one if chance of returning is slim to none because this cannot be reversed due to bladder shrinkage. Reccomended.

GR221 Stage 1: Es Capdella to Estellencs
This lovely walk from the pretty inland village of Es Capdella to Estellencs on the northwestern coast is now officially Stage 1 of Mallorca's long distance hike, the GR221 or Dry Stone Route. And what a great start it is! It is a combination of gentle, tranquil walking through typical Mallorcan vegetation, a steep satisfying climb and then an easy, mossy, wooded descent with lovely coastal views into Estellencs - a charming, rather remote settlement.
Our route begins gently, and meanders down country lanes and tracks through the Galatzó estate, but then we start to climb steeply out of the valley through wild terrain enjoying fabulous views of the valley below. Along the way there are fine examples of restored charcoal burners settlements, and a delightful old well, still in operation. After a long steep ascent on a narrow stony goat path we find ourselves on a pass between the south west's 2 iconic mountains S'Esclop and Galatzó - in all their glory.
Before we start our descent, those who find summits irresistible can ascend the peak of S'Esclop without much of a detour. Otherwise we descend via a soft path through pine and then holm oak woods. We cross the main mountain road and the path becomes a rather charming track below the road, through the woods and along the coast, meandering through casitas and rural smallholdings until we finally reach the pretty village of Estellencs.
This walk is scheduled for:

Brian Hirsty, executive chef for the Bluewater Grill, died March 10 following a recent diagnosis of a rare bone marrow disease. He was 47.
Hirsty grew up in Southern California. He would often awake before the sun rose, eager to spend time with local fishermen arriving with the day's catch, according to an online restaurant memorial tribute.
He would use the fish to practice recipes from the "Joy of Cooking" cookbook, the tribute continued, creating dishes praised by his earliest fan: his brother.
In 1996, after working in restaurants in high school and training with several hotel kitchens for about a decade, Bluewater Grill co-founders Jim Ulcickas and Rick Staunton hired Hirsty to work for the original Bluewater Grill restaurant, in Newport Beach.
"Chef Brian," as coworkers called him, was the only skinny chef you could trust, Ulcickas said.
Hirsty was always in motion, Ulcickas added, whether he was talking with customers, meeting with a vendor or working with an employee.
At least two dishwashers progressed under his guidance through pantry, salad bar and line cook positions to become chefs.
"He didn't have an ego," Ulcickas said, describing Hirsty as genuine. "He would talk with the servers, talk with the guests. He'd take a lot of feedback."
Creative and experimental, Hirsty tried to keep his finger on the pulse of culinary advances. He paid attention to new ingredients and put the restaurant on a path toward sustainable fish and locally grown food at least a decade ago, the restaurant owner said.
The company now has eight locations, with a ninth in the works, the founding of each of which Ulcickas likened to giving birth to a baby.
Hirsty is survived by his wife, Amy, son Dylan and daughter Chelsi, who live in Costa Mesa, and his mother, Faye Hirsty, who lives in Irvine.
Memorial donations can be made to the Dylan Hirsty Education Fund and Hirsty Family Fund, care of Joyce Martin at Bluewater Grill, 630 Lido Park Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92663.

Churches in Meteora
Meteora is the most important monastic community in Greece after Mount Athos in Halkidiki. This natural masterpiece reveals its unique beauty and glory throughout the centuries and captivates every visitor at first sight. The ascetic shacks bear witness to the presence and strong activity of the monks which constitute works of unique value.
The first monasteries were built with extreme care by the hermits during the 14th century and until recently Meteora was home to 24 monasteries that were placed on top of the huge rocks. Accessibility was not easy but the monks counted in nets which allowed to climb up and down or wooden ladders. Today, only six of them operate while the others are uninhabited and deserted. The surviving monasteries are objects of unique cultural interest attracting thousands of visitors every year.
On the western edge of the monastic settlement is the Monastery of Transfiguration of the Savior or Great Meteoron, the oldest and the largest monastery of Meteora, perched on top of an imposing rock. During the 16th century it used to be a spiritual center but today, it is inhabited by three monks. Of unique interest are the beautiful icons and the historical documents.
The Holy Monastery of Varlaam is the second largest monastery of the monastic complex founded in the 16th century. Several steps lead to its entrance from the main road. The active male monastery hosts a great museum and some remarkable frescoes.
The Monastery of Agios Stefanos was founded around the 14th century and is strongly connected to the female monachism. Today, it is inhabited by 28 nuns who are involved in many activities in their daily life. It is home to a small ecclesiastical museum and its idyllic location offers a great view to the plain of Kalambaka.
On top of the cliffs lies the 12th-century Monastery of Agia Triada (Holy Trinity). One hundred and forty-five steps carved on the rock lead the visitors at the entrance after they have crossed a descending path. In the old days, it had the largest number of monks while today there are only 4 monks. It was the setting for the final scenes of the James Bond movie For your eyes only.
On the edge of a steep and precipitous cliff sits the Monastery of Agia Varvara Roussanou, one of the six active monasteries in Meteora complex. The way it was built seems like a natural extension of the rock. It was initially a male monastery and today it is a convent with 13 nuns. It is the least accessible of the monasteries but the idyllic location is quite rewarding.
Close to the monastery of Great Meteoron is the Monastery of Agios Nikolaos, possibly named after its founder. Today it is inhabited by a monk and it can be accessed by several steps carved on the rock. All six monasteries host many treasures that were made throughout the centuries from the monks and nuns. Meteora complex is one of the most important Byzantine monuments, a place of high spirituality.

It will, however, be largely dry countrywide by evening, with any showers increasingly isolated. Top temperatures will range from 14 degrees in the northwest to 19 degrees in parts of the east and southeast. Blustery westerly winds will gradually moderate through the day.
We'll see you there Norah

UNION CITY — A proposal to rename Alvarado Middle School has sparked controversy within New Haven Unified, with one side urging the school board to honor the city's large Filipino community, while opponents say that would detract from the area's diversity and drain funds from an already cash-strapped district.
The issue came to a boil Tuesday at a crowded and contentious school board meeting, as the majority of about 200 people there supported renaming the school after Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz, two Filipino-Americans who worked alongside Cesar Chavez while leading the state's farm labor movement in the 1960s. Itliong and Vera Cruz are now deceased.
Last summer, board members considered naming its independent study program after the pair of labor leaders but ultimately decided to call it the Decoto School for Independent Study, said Kari McVeigh, New Haven's superintendent of schools.
"We had a lengthy discussion then over the idea of naming a school that represented the diversity of our district," McVeigh said. "So school board President Linda Canlas brought back the idea of renaming a school in January. Itliong and Vera Cruz have been floated as names for the past 13 years, so it's not as if the Filipino community just suddenly started advocating for them."
After Canlas, who said she supports honoring the Filipino-American leaders, proposed the renaming two months ago, the board formed a 10-member Facility Names Committee to create a list of proposed names. Board members might decide the issue March 19, when they are expected to consider three school names submitted by the committee. "The board can choose one of the names, reject the names, create one of their own, or they can postpone a decision," McVeigh said. "It's far from being a done deal and I'm hesitant to guess which way it can go."
Several New Haven schools have been named after individuals who reflect Union City's diversity: Cesar Chavez Middle, Tom Kitayama Elementary, Guy Emanuele Elementary and Delaine Eastin Elementary.
None of New Haven's schools are named after a Filipino-American, even though 1 out of every 5 Union City residents is of Filipino heritage, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. If the district chooses to honor Itliong and Vera Cruz, it would become the nation's first to name a school after a Filipino-American, said Mel Orpilla, president of the Filipino American National Historical Association.
Maria Inciong, a longtime Union City resident, said she supports the renaming. "I did not learn the history of Filipino-Americans in the farmworker movement until I attended UCLA, and that's unfortunate," said Inciong, a Filipino-American whose son attends a Union City elementary school. "The school renaming has come up before, but it always gets set aside, and once again the Filipino-American contribution is not acknowledged."
But opponents of the change, such as parent Anju Sharma, said the issue will divide students, focusing on their differences instead of what they have in common.
"We are so diverse; that's the beautiful thing about Union City," said Sharma, an immigrant from India. "We all need to be honored; how do we decide who matters and who doesn't matter? I see children being divided over this."
Others say they oppose it because Alvarado, a community that formed in the 1850s, is a big part of the Tri-City area's tradition. It also was one of two communities — Decoto was the other — that combined when Union City incorporated in 1959.
Alvarado Middle School, which has 1,419 students attending grades 6 through 8, is at 31604 Alvarado Blvd., on the western side of the city, whose population is 69,516. Supporters of the name change say the community's tradition will live on with Alvarado Elementary, a campus next to the middle school with the same name. Some proponents say they see a double standard in Union City, where next week the sports center will be renamed for former Mayor Mark Green — who is white — without any of the controversy dogging the proposals to honor Itliong and Vera Cruz.
Renaming the school will cost the district around $10,000, said Akur Varadarajan, New Haven's chief business officer. Some opponents say now is not the time for the district to pay that tab when, like many districts statewide, it still is making budget cuts. The city's Filipino-American community has offered to hold fundraisers to offset those fees, said Joe Ku'e Angeles, a James Logan High School counselor who favors the renaming.
"We should not put a price tag on diversity," he said.

The Brief
Unilever asked Brandtone to design a campaign that would reward existing customers, while also building relationships and managing brand perceptions across India. An aim of the campaign was to get a better understanding of the customer in order to develop a representative and permissioned database.
The focus was not just on consumers though. Bru also identified the need to engage independent traders. With over 10 million retail outlets across India, connecting with those who were not already being distributed to directly would have a huge impact on Bru's growth.
The Campaign
Working with Brandtone, Bru was able to offer both consumers and independent traders free airtime via mobile redemption of codes printed within the product packaging – regardless of their handset or mobile network.
Using this approach, Brandtone was able to develop an extensive database of Unilever's target audience; offering a deep insight and understanding of these key markets for the first time.
The campaign approach and execution had to be targeted to each audience in order to best meet their needs. While both involved a mutually beneficial engagement via their mobile device, the mechanism was slightly different for each.
The campaign entailed traders buying Bru instant bundles, which contained post-card size coded coupons with scratch cards, with a 'call to action' for the trader to dial a missed called number which appears on the pack.
Consumers were targeted by communication through on-pack messages at retail outlets, and with a similar incentive to traders, were offered free airtime, but for each packet of Bru purchased.
The brand also used social media to engage with its younger audience more directly. This 360 approach was vital to the success of the campaign and ensured that all relevant people were targeted.
The Results
As a result of the campaign, Bru has regained the market lead in India in both value and volume and has seen a double digit increase in sales. They have now moved to an always-on format to sustain this growth into the future:
- Over 10 million completed entries
- Regained market lead
- 3 new SKUs promoted nationwide
- Permission rate of over 50%
MMA Smarties - 2015
- Lead Generation – Silver Winner APAC
- Relationship Building – Shortlisted Global

Crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, or whatever verb you want to call it, has a unique immediacy that excites the public and everyone involved, even if they have nothing to gain. One of my favorites is Goldiblox, an engineering toy designed to appeal to girls.
Since this blog is cycling oriented, I'll get to listing the products of greatest cycling interest.
Spurcycle makes a great handlebar bell and GripRings that add up to a full sized grip, adding style enhancement to your bike.
Rubbee gives your bike an electric motor with no muss or fuss.
Free2Go is a very portable single bike carrier for Smart cars, of the Car2Go variety.
BikeSpike is a GPS tracker for your bike, in case of theft.
There are plenty of lights, locks and fender systems that give riders new ways to stay stylishly clean and seen. There are many books and other media to learn and enjoy the pleasures of two wheeling it.

Waywards are one of the "lost" Hunter creeds who follow the virtue of Vision. Waywards are united by a common belief: the supernatural should be destroyed utterly, no matter the cost. Being children of Vision, they are given to planning and deliberation in reaching their goals, but those goals will always be focused on death and destruction, and a typical Wayward will think little of inflicting massive mortal casualties if they can successfully destroy a vampire or warlock. All Waywards are psychotically insane; some, however, are able to hide their psychosis, masquerading as Avengers.
A Wayward has a component of their second sight perpetually "switched on" - the component that allows them to detect the presence of monsters - and can never turn it off; the protective effects of second sight must be activated by the Wayward in the same fashion as other imbued. As a result, they can never possess Edges that would allow them to distinguish anything about a monster, such as Discern, Witness, or Illuminate.
Waywards are perhaps unique among the creeds in that they need not have manifested any of the common Wayward personality traits prior to their imbuing, such as deep-seated aggression, hatred, or trauma - it is entirely possible for a comparatively well-adjusted person to find themselves turned into a psychotic murderer, their minds rewritten by the violent impulses imposed by the Wayward imbuing.
The Wayward special ability is the creation of signs of power - symbols comprehensible to Waywards of sufficient Vision, but incomprehensible to any other imbued. By marking their bodies with these symbols, Waywards can draw strength from them, boosting their capabilities.
It's worth noting that in standard hunter code, the Wayward symbol represents "chief", "warlord", or "general", perhaps hinting at the creed's original purpose.
