A large aspect of my job is event coordination, so the Action Method is great for keeping actionable items/follow ups in the same area as details about the multiple events that are coming up. It's a great way for me to track what I've done and what still needs to be done.I had been using the Action Method online, but they changed their program so that some of the features I relied on disappeared, so these paper notes are that much more utilized. And the Circa notebook is the most convenient way for me to add supplemental documents to my existing Action Method notes.The only downsides I have are:1. The paper smells bad. I ordered an extra set of Action Method Refills with my original order. The paper smells bad, and I thought that it might get better once I opened the package and let it "air out", but the smell has just contaminated the rest of my notebook. It's a very musty smell...2. As noted by another reviewer, the colored portion of the action method pages do not hold fountain pen ink.Those are my only 2 complaints. Otherwise, it's an AMAZING product that I will be reordering - it's so helpful to my workflow and efficiency. I've recommended it to so many other people. Great job putting together such a useful notebook.

Given that this is Levenger and the company is dedicated to perfection, I expected the product to be as well. The plastic covers that were shipped with the notebook were scuffed and ingrained in the plastic was a black mark.For notebook OCD people like me, since I noticed the mark, I know it's there and it will bug me. But overall, I am excited to use the notebook to get my research project more organized.

Great in the boardroom and the workshop

Comments about Levenger Circa Action Method Notebook:
I use this notebook in my workshop to graph and mock-up projects. It's a great set for anything from taking notes in a meeting to designing a new workbench. I'm a big fan of the action notes pages. There's functionality and simplicity in its design. My favorite thing - perforated edges. IMHO, every single set of notebook pages should have perforated edges.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Notebook Perfection
By Equilateral
from Portland, ME
I am the pickiest person that I know when it comes to planners and notebooks. Determined to make my favorite notebook into my 2015 planner, I ordered 4 of these and the monthly calendar inserts.Excited to spend a whole year with the gorgeous paper quality and lovely layout of the Action Method notebook. I think it's perfect.
Love the idea...but paper falls out
By Jenrw
from Washington DC
I really like the idea of this notebook and organizational system. The paper stock is nice and thick. The problem is that it keeps ripping out of the notebook. I am not an aggressive scribbler, but this is from normal use. I am bummed that I have to have a 2nd folder for the pages that end up falling out.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Very Nice Product!

Perfect Product for Office Supply Inthusiasts
By k8lyn
from Dever, CO
Trust me, I am picky when it come to finding the perfect notebook. I could spend hours in an office-supply store on my quest for the best notebook. I took a leap of faith by purchasing this product online; I could not be happier.Levenger has thought of everything with this product:- Sturdy, clear covers to protect the interior- Flexible notebook can be folded back- Ease of use: pages can easily be added, rearranged, or removed- Refill packages in a variety of formats- The lines and dots are not too dark, pen stands out- You do not have to worry about wire-spiral notebooks getting bent or ripping paperI would recommend this product to anyone!
This is the best system I have purchased

Sun Cluster 3.2 Doc Responses to VOC Survey - Part 2
By techdogg on Jun 08, 2007
This blog continues my discussion of the improvements that we have made to the Sun Cluster 3.2 documentation in response to a Voice of the Customer survey.
We identified four major customer requests in the VOC survey. For information on our response to the first two VOC requests, see Sun Cluster3.2 Documentation Responses to Voice-of-the-Customer Feedback.
Third Request: Provide Task-based Information
This VOC survey was designed to cover several Sun products. Fortunately, Sun Cluster procedural documentation is already task based, so this was an easy request for us. Sun Cluster introductory information and conceptual information that is not relevant to a specific task is provided in an introductory chapter or the Overview document. This separation of procedural and introductory information makes the procedures shorter and more concise.
Let me know if you think this separation in our documentation works well for you.
Fourth Request: Provide More Information for the Novice User
The original Sun Cluster documentation was targeted toward a sophisticated, well-trained, UNIX-savvy system administrator. Sun Cluster required that the customer receive extensive training before using the Sun Cluster product. As a result, our documentation tended to assume a high level of knowledge and some of our customers started to complain. Customers, it seemed, did not want to be required to hire senior system administrators to manage their clustered environment. And even the senior system administators did not always have the UNIX experience we required. Customers also told us that the person trained on Sun Cluster might not be the person who administers the cluster. As a result, we've added several documents to help the new cluster system administrator to quickly ramp up and get started with Sun Cluster.
Here are some examples of our new and improved documentation:
- Sun Cluster Documentation Center
This topic-based document helps novice users to find information more quickly in our Sun Cluster doc set. The documentation center begins with a Getting Started group of links specifically targeted for novice users.
- Sun Cluster Overview
This guide provides information on the Sun Cluster product along with an introduction to key concepts and the Sun Cluster architecture.
- Quick Start Guide
The Quick Start Guide provides detailed, easy-to-follow steps to install Sun Cluster in a configuration used by approximately 80% of our Sun Cluster customers.
- (how-to) How To Install and Configure a Two-Node Cluster
This "How To" provides simple task-based instructions for installing a two-node cluster.
- Quick Reference Card
The Quick Reference card provides simplified steps to perform the most commonly used Sun Cluster tasks. This card is available in a customized format to make printing easier.
- Intro(1CL) man page
This man page describes the new object-oriented command set for Sun Cluster 3.2. This man page also defines each of the new commands, provides short versions of the commands, and provides links to the command man pages.
- Object-Oriented Commands appendix
This appendix is included in each of our procedural docs and provides a quick reference to the new object-oriented commands in Sun Cluster 3.2. The appendix lists the command short forms, and their subcommands.
If you have any suggestions for other documentation that will help novice users, feel free to comment.

How Doctor Who Became My Religion
My childhood memories of Doctor Who were from the few Tom Baker episodes I saw on public television. I remembered the Doctor's fro, long scarf, and some truly terrible special effects, but that's about it. Not something I thought appropriate for adult viewing.
Not a Marx Brother.
Still, I tuned in for a new episode, and a funny thing happened: I cried. Then I watched another episode and guess what? I cried again. In fact, I watched four episodes over two days and for each one, I cried. I can't think of any other show that has made me cry four times, let alone four episodes in a row, so I began to investigate.
I checked the mirror. Perhaps, like the Doctor, I had regenerated too, but into the form of a 14-year-old girl. Nope, it was still me. Also my penis and testicles had not suddenly gone missing.
They were safe on top of my dresser in their special box as always.
But even though my appearance was the same, I'd definitely changed. I'd become a fanatic. More than a fanatic: I'm a zealot. I want to sit around all day writing Doctor Who scripts. Lots of them. Hell, I want to be the Doctor. Who says he can't be American? He can be anything. BBC, call me!
Or actually call my son. He's much better at making David Tennant faces.
Initially, I thought Doctor Who was packing such an emotional punch because of the way it dealt with deeply-rooted issues and mythologies. Still, Star Trek and even Star Wars did that too, and I never cried from them.
OK, I cried a little during Phantom Menace but that's only because George Lucas was urinating on my childhood.
Craig Ferguson has suggested that nerds like me like Doctor Who because it's about the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism, and that's a very accurate point, but it still doesn't explain why I'd become such a huge wuss and fanboy.
Still, after much analysis, I came up with a three step answer. More specifically, one realization composed of three parts. I'll take you through the analysis, but because this is the Internet which exists only to oversimplify things to the point of being incorrect, the basic realization was:
Watching Doctor Who Is Like Having A Relationship With God.
And I don't mean the Doctor is a metaphor for gods we know, the way the lion is Jesus in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I mean the Doctor is a god. But one we can see and understand. And he loves us more than all the other creatures in the universe. He would die for us, but what he really wants to do is live with us. So it's no wonder the show has fanatics. It's not a show. It's a philosophy. A religion.
Before I go further, let me be the first to say I am in no way a Doctor Who scholar. I've seen a fraction of the episodes. There are whole seasons I know nothing about. I'm not pretending to be an authority. I'm just relaying why this show has emotionally clobbered me in a way that might be relevant to both the uninitiated and longtime Whovians.
We Are Not Alone Against Evil
Every week, Doctor Who introduces some new unspeakable horror in the universe. The galaxy it seems is filled with no shortage of pricks who want to devour our souls, our faith, and even our faces. There are evils that want to make us cyborgs, or collect our organs for spare parts, or just flat out murder us. Yes, us. With Doctor Who, it is humanity that's in jeopardy. Not Captain Kirk or Luke Skywalker. Not even Scully and Mulder. Almost every week, either all of humanity or at least a specific human companion of the Doctor's is confronted with more evil than anyone could be expected to bear.
But unlike real life where loved ones fall to cancers that consume their bodies or terrible fates that shatter their minds, we are not alone. Doctor Who provides a savior. The Doctor risks his 900 year old-plus life to save our miniscule existences.
And he often does it in some truly terrible clothing.

For 5-year-old Jana Said, the living room is the place to be at the Ronald McDonald House. She likes to watch volunteers cooking meals in the kitchen, families coming and going through the front door, and house manager Lynn Hughes bustling about, keeping things running smoothly.
"She likes to see people. When she is not feeling good, it distracts her," said Rima Tana, Jana's mother.
Thanks to the talents of members of the Interior Design Association of Western New York, the living room has a whole new look for Jana and other children undergoing medical treatment at local hospitals. Jana, her two siblings and their mother are among the more than 600 families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House on West Ferry Street each year, coming from across the country and around the world. This becomes their temporary home away from home while their sick or injured children or premature babies receive treatment and care. Community volunteers, donors and staff members want to create the best possible place for them.
"After long hours in a hospital environment, they can come back to a beautiful, serene house like this – lovely surroundings, emotional support, peaceful respite. A place to recharge their batteries," said Sally S. Vincent, executive director.
In addition to the living room, IDA members over the past two years volunteered their time and talent to redecorate two upstairs bedrooms and work on the football-themed family room.
For a second year, several IDA members also decorated the house for the holidays – trimming Christmas trees, wrapping garlands, setting up vignettes.
"They came in here at Thanksgiving and in 2½ hours had this whole place decorated. It would have taken weeks for any of us to do that," said Vincent, noting that the IDA donated most of the materials for the holiday decorations.
The local Ronald McDonald House, which opened in 1983 and offers 15 bedrooms, a stocked kitchen and laundry facilities, asks each family to contribute $15 per night per room. Throughout the year, it depends on a network of volunteers as well as donations, goods and services from the Western New York community (see www.rmhcwny.org). For these recent redecorating projects, the local IDA stepped up.
"We'll have a gift of money to do a project but with the small staff that we have we're not attuned to decorating, we don't have the time and we need help. We also don't have the contacts in terms of knowing vendors to use," Vincent said.
The decorators were given a budget – it was $10,000 for the living room – and some guidelines.
The existing deep evergreen carpeting was not to be replaced, for example.
"We had to consider the green carpeting on the first floor. The wallpaper (muted eggshell blues and greens with a bit of burnt red) in the main hallway when you first walk in was staying, too," said Michelle Peller White, who runs a local interior design business called Chochkey's.
In addition, fabrics and other materials had to be durable, practical and easy to clean.
With this in mind, they got to work – with the help and donations from more than 20 sponsors in the local design community, most of them strategic partners with the IDA.
Here are some of the highlights (and, yes, readers may find a few ideas for their own homes):
• The living room: While a degree of formality echoes the gracious style of this 1895 Neoclassical Revival-style brick house, no furnishings are too fancy here.
The end tables and lamps are new; the existing loveseat, sofa and chairs were reupholstered in coordinating fabrics in colors such as Ocean Mist and Peacock; another fabric called "Tweet Tweet" features a fun bird motif.
Birds, in fact, are found throughout the living room. One tops an apothecary-style jar filled with glittery ornaments. A pair of ceramic birds peek out from the lower shelf of a side table. Others nestle in the garland on the decorated mantel. In addition, several frogs add whimsy to a lamp base.
The living room walls are painted Benjamin Moore's Sherwood Tan while the ceiling is Imperial Gray, which has a hint of eggshell blue. The woodwork is white, including the original plaster cornices. The window treatments were created using two coordinating fabrics hung from rings on thick rods installed above and off to the sides of the windows.
"It's a bright room. The windows are huge, and we did not want to cover them because the woodwork is beautiful," White said.
In keeping with the serenity of the room, IDA decorators focused on green, ivory and subtle metallics for the Christmas decorations.
"To me, it's more like a home than it is a hotel," White said. "It's a room for people to come in, sit down, curl up and watch TV," White said.
• The bedrooms redecorated by members of the IDA (www.interiordesignwny.com) also feature ceilings painted in a different color from the walls. In one, it's C2's Calliope, a coral-orange. The walls are a neutral color called Nuance. One highlight: The headboard was painted by local muralist Tim Martin in the same pattern as the fabric used for the window treatment and accent pillows.
• The redecorated family room, which is located on the lower level near the Fisher-Price Play Space, boasts a football theme. The room's renovation, funded by former Buffalo Bill Phil Hansen and his wife, Dianna, was already in the works when the decorators stepped in to help.
Decorating highlights here include Buffalo Bills and NFL memorabilia, a turf-green area rug that resembles a playing field, a big screen TV, a game table, a lamp with a base that looks like a football, two additional lamps with clear bases filled with miniature football helmets, cushy brown sofas, a Christmas tree and lots of red decorations, and other special touches.
As one mother staying at the house put it: "We love it here."

Do you support the Ohio tax changes?
I'm surprised it isn't taxed already. In order to be eligible for VA benefits, one must have served in the military and thereby contributed something to society.

Next they would want to tax VA Comp.

Public assistance SHOULD be taxed. If someone getting $25,000 worth of assistance to get by then how is that any different than someone earning $25,000 working a job and paying their own way?
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I NEVER want to pay more taxes. I do however support the .0025% increase. If we cannot afford .25 cents on one hundred dollars then we have MUCH bigger issues. The working Ohioan's now have a tax break on their pay. The fair tax is a flat tax across the board. If you don't buy, you don't pay. Why is it Joe lazy bones shouldn't have to pay any taxes? Because he has no income!?! (other than public assistance). Let us all pay equally. If you Buy then you pay, If you Don't buy then you're not paying.. Gee, sounds fair to me!

Oldman you are so misguided on this it is actually sad.
HOW did Kasich, on this issue take from the poor and give to the rich?
5 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I am not a fan of Kasich, nor am I a Republican, but I do agree there are way too many people who are "poor" only because it pays out so well. When you add up the total benefits one can get to drop out of school, not work, and create more mouths to feed, then it starts looking like the income equivalent of someone who earned an associates degree and works 40+ hours a week in their field. Those that have middle class incomes made sacrifices to get where they are. The only thing the non-working class sacrificed was their dignity.

Kasick is a typical Republican. He takes from the poor and gives to the rich. Why do the Republicans hate the poor and unforunate???

Last week I went to Dallas, Texas, for Blissdom, a blogging conference. Everytime I leave to go on a business trip my girls beg to go with me.
I look forward to the day when they really can travel with me and I will be able to give them my car keys and turn them loose in whichever city I'm visiting.
But, for now it's simply not possible unless I take a babysitter. My husband, Zeb, and I lived in Fort Worth for the first two years of our marriage, but each subsequent move took us closer and closer to the Atlantic Ocean. As we moved further away from Texas, we started having babies and going back to visit was never feasible.
I was beyond excited to go back to Texas after 13 years and even more excited that because we have family close by, Aubrey, my 8-year-old, could travel with me and stay with her cousins while I was at my conference.
During the drive to Texas, I told Aubrey stories about the early days of our marriage.
"Did you know that right after I met your Daddy, I rode on the back of his Harley all the way from Fort Worth to Shuggie's house in Alabama?"
Her jaw dropped. "Momma that is so far. Weren't you scared?"
I grinned, "No, I was too busy being in luuuuuv."
Her brow furrowed, "With who?"
I laughed out loud, "With your daddy! Who do you think? I wasn't scared - all I was thinking about is that I got to wrap my arms around him for 12 hours."
Aubrey kicked her legs and made sounds of disgust, "Ew. Gross."
"Oh, please. You need to be glad that your parents are in love."
We stopped for lunch and ate outside, taking our time, talking about anything we wanted to with no rush to get anywhere. I love having three daughters, especially having them as close together as they are. They are the best of friends (at times), but because they are the same sex and so close in age, it can often make it a little difficult to spend one-on-one time with them.
It may be my own issue, but in my mind I think that if we had a boy or two it would somehow be easier to justify singling them out for alone time — Zeb would take the boys to do boy things and I would take the girl or girls to do girl things.
I'm sure it's not that simple but I still feel guilty taking one of my daughters to do something and not including the other two. As it is, I suppose we will just have to take turns with the travel for now, but it was really nice to be able to spend hours of uninterrupted time with just Aubrey.
She made up "Knock Knock" jokes, told me stories about school and read "Little House in the Big Woods," which caused her to wonder how long it would take a covered wagon to drive from Greenwood, Miss., to Fort Worth, Texas.
We asked Siri but she was stumped — lest you get the wrong idea and think that we spent the entire drive engrossed in deep and meaningful communication you should also know Aubrey crushed the high score on Temple Run and Subway Surfer on my iPad while I listened to a podcast on my phone.
But we also held hands, shared a Coke and turned the music up as loud as it would go and sang at the top of our lungs.
I gave Aubrey control of the music on my phone and we were singing Bruno Mars "Just the Way You Are" as loud as we could:
"But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?" I say,
"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change,
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are…"
As the song came to a close Aubrey smiled and said, "I bet that's what Daddy thought when you were on his motorcyle." She giggled, "I think maybe he thinks that now, too."
I took a deep breath, mentally taking notes of the moment — it seemed so precious and fleeting I didn't want to miss a second. Then I smiled and said, "Yeah, but that's also how I feel about you."
She beamed at me, grabbed my iPhone to choose another song and and we drove on.

Within 2 miles of my house in West Ashley, I can find six or seven roadside stands selling boiled peanuts.
I prefer to buy 'em when they're still warm. It's a challenge to eat 'em while you're driving, because the salty juice will run down your arm and drip from the elbow.
Did you know boiled peanuts are the state snack? What makes a good boiled peanut? And why does it take so much longer to cook 'em than it does to eat 'em?
As we enter the final full month of summer, let's dissect the essence of what makes the boiled peanut so pleasing to some and so offensive to others.
If you've never really stuck your taste buds out there, then commit this very weekend to the salty pleasure.
If you're still unsure what the heck I'm even talking about, then here's a quick course in boiled peanutology.
Can't eat just one
Essentially, we're talkin' raw peanuts boiled in salt water. Boiled peanuts are primarily the roadside product of choice from May to November.
They're also sold in cans in many grocery stores, but that's just not fair to the peanut or the grocery store to judge the product in that presentation.
Green peanuts make the best boiled peanuts. A green peanut is one recently harvested. It's not really green, as a matter of fact, it's almost white.
All over the Lowcountry there are peanut entrepreneurs known as Tony, Timbo, Mike, Mr. Creel or Antwoine who serve loyal customers by the bag full. In addition to the regular flavor, there's also ham or Cajun.
There's a really hot corner just outside Moncks Corner where a boiled peanut war recently started.
Along S.C. Highway 402, just past the Tailrace Canal, two peanut vendors are going at it. They're barely 30 feet from each other and a price war has reached the boiling point.
At last check, the boy under the umbrella was selling for $2 a bag. That's a full dollar less than his competition. Usually, a $3 bag is a bargain.
Peanut lovers are shell-shocked.
If you decide to eat boiled peanuts in the car, there's also a price to pay. Not only is there some danger of dripping on upholstery or your own clothing, there's also the inherent problem of what to do with the empty shell. A separate bag is ideal. But unless somebody else is in the front seat assisting with the opening, eating and tossing, then there's an outside chance there's gonna be a wreck.
And we haven't even discussed the possibility the salty juice, still warm, if not hot, might spill in your lap!
Short shelf-life
Some people freeze their boiled peanuts and bring 'em out later. There's nothing remotely appetizing to that approach.
There's nothing wrong with warming them up in a microwave for a few seconds, but to tell you the truth, if you let 'em sit around a day or so, they get a little slimy.
Actually, I've never known a boiled peanut to last much longer than an hour at my house. Even though they'll keep, I tend to eat them as if there's an expiration date.
Those who sell these savory, salty snacks for a living boil 'em for hours. But I know folks who have started making boiled peanuts in pressure cookers and crock pots. The pressure cooker sounds like the way to go because you can have a batch done in about 30 minutes.
For the ultimate boiled peanut experience, here's the deal: buy 'em, then eat 'em outside so you can just toss the shell on the ground.
Also, there are times when it's best to use your teeth to open them, not your fingers. That way, there's no harm done when the juice oozes from the shell and tastes a bit like the brine of a wave at Folly Beach.
It's a fine Southern snack, but it's an acquired taste. If you stop by a roadside stand today, acquire a bag for me. If they're still waging the war in Moncks Corner, I'll take two.

"It's clear that the United States and Israel have never been closer together," said Gil Lainer, consul for public affairs in Israel's Consulate General in New York City.
"There is a great friendship between our two peoples and our two governments. Without your support, we would not have the 'Iron Dome' rocket-defense system," which shot down about 250 Hamas-fired rockets last week.
Lainer addressed an audience estimated at as many as 600 people at a program called "Buffalo Celebrates Israel," in Eastern Hills Wesleyan Church, Clarence. The Rev. Pat Jones, pastor of the church, declared that "Buffalo has to stand with Israel."
The hostilities along the Gaza Strip have a deeply personal meaning for Lainer because his sister's husband is among the 75,000 reserve troops that the Israeli Defense Ministry has authorized for call-up ahead of a possible ground offensive against Hamas-controlled Gaza. And his wife's brother has been forced into a bomb shelter with their 4- and 2-year-old children.
The public affairs consul said that 4.5 million Israelis are under direct threat from Hamas.
"We have shown incredible restraint. We don't want war," Lainer said, "but we were forced to act militarily" to end months of rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled territory.
The Rev. Robert Stearns, identified as "the visionary behind the global Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem," echoed the pastor's remarks.
"Western New York stands with Israel," Stearns said.
"There are more than 40 different churches and ministries here. The issues that face Israel are the issues that face the world. … There is a unity between Bible-believing Christians and Israelis."
Lainer, the Israeli counsel, responded that his country is "a bastion of freedom in an ocean of oppression. We are the only democracy in the region. We are a truly free society," with many of the same freedoms that are guaranteed in the U.S. Bill of Rights.
"We have tried tirelessly to work around the civilian population in defending ourselves," Lainer said in an interview before he addressed the audience.
"Our target is to stop the shooting. We have sent leaflets and text messages to civilians in the Gaza Strip asking them to move out of harm's way.
"We don't want to hurt civilians, but Hamas has installed its missile launchers in residential neighborhoods and schools, and we have to protect ourselves from them. Just today, one of their missiles struck a house in Israel, but the family was not at home – they were in a bomb shelter.
"We live in a very tightly knit community," Lainer added. "Israel is only about the size of New Jersey."
Before being assigned to the Israeli consulate in New York, Lainer was a counselor in the Bureau for Middle East Economy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem, where he worked to establish the Israeli government's current policy of humanitarian aid and projects in the Gaza Strip.

Harpers Ferry-Legendary female kayaker Barbara Brown is the featured speaker at the Harpers Ferry Outdoor Festival potluck dinner and silent auction Saturday. Festival Vice President Mike Moore said Brown's the first female to have gone down the Upper Gauley River in 1970.
"She'll talk about her descent and about the several huge rapids," said Moore. "Barbara was certainly part of the revolution back then, pushing limits, exploring new runs. She got to name one Lost Paddle. She lost her paddle there, and it was found several years later. It's a great story."
Moore's known Brown for many years and has taken her daughters down the rapids. Female kayakers aren't just a novelty or for the very young. Many in competition range in age from 17 to early or mid-40s.
Brown started when she was 13. She said in an interview from Maryland, "I was introduced to paddling through the Mariners, a branch of the Girl Scouts, in 1958. At that time, there were no kayaks, we all paddled open boats, regular canoes. When enclosed one person canoes were invented, I hopped right in thinking they would be similar to the open canoes. In my C-1, I paddled most of the bigger rivers run at that time --the Yock, the New, the Cheat, Hopeville Canyon on the North Fork of the Potomac, and a myriad of others, including especially our home river, the Potomac in Washington, DC. However, I had many misadventures and swam regularly."
She switched to fiberglass kayaks in the 1960s. The double blade was more reliable, and the boat was faster and not bothered by crosswinds.
Brown first tried the Gauley in 1968. She said everybody was happily paddling the New River at a good level when some of the group announced they were going to try an untried river, the Gauley.
Fact Box
What: Harpers Ferry Outdoor Festival Potluck with Barbara Brown
When: Saturday 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Where: Bolivar Community Center, 60 Panama St., Harpers Ferry
Information: www.harpersferryoutdoorfestival.org. or call 676-6853. Also on Facebook.
Brown said, "We declined. Why paddle an untried river when the New was so terrific? But they paddled from Summersville to Swiss, both the Upper and Lower sections in one day, an astounding 25 miles of tough, untried, unknown advanced water. And they came back with enthusiastic stories of wonderful whitewater."
The Gauley gorge was being threatened by additional dams, she said she found out later. Some river runners wanted to present the Gauley as an established recreational river.
Brown said, "To set this up they organized a 'naming' run on the Gauley River, neglecting to tell anyone this was only the second time the river was paddled. I was thrilled to be on the trip and the only girl, no less. Rapids named were Insignificant, Pillow Rock, Iron Ring, Sweets Falls and Koontz's Flume. His plan was successful and the lower dam plans were abandoned."
Unfortunately, her first encounter with the river was cut short when she spilled in the first drop of what she later named Lost Paddle. Her paddle disappeared. Without her, the others finished the run the next day.
However, in 1970, after taking extensive rolling classes, she returned and successfully finished the run.
"Carrie Ashton was on the trip. We share the history of being the first women to run the lower Gauley Gorge to Swiss."
Attendees Saturday night will find out how and when her lost paddle was discovered, and are encouraged to bring a covered dish for the potluck dinner. A silent auction features outdoor and kayak gear.
"The items from the silent auction would make great Christmas presents," said Moore.
The first outdoor festival, held in June 14 years ago, was designed to bring together participants, activists, and enthusiasts of water-related activities to promote a healthy and peaceful environment. Then, it was called the Tim Gavin Downriver Race, named for Moore's friend, a nationally known kayaker whose family ran the Cliffside Inn.
"Tim was running white water in the 1990s that is still cutting edge today," said Moore.
Gavin drowned in 1998 on the Upper Blackwater River.
That one memorial activity grew into the summer festival and other events. Since then, the organization has also held river cleanups, chili cook-off competitions, and film festivals. Proceeds always benefit Friends of the Shenandoah River, Friends of the Cheat, Friends of the Blackwater, and the West Virginia Rivers Coalition.
"Everything we do is to help keep West Virginia wild and wonderful," said Moore. "The proceeds go to four organizations we feel Tim would've supported."
The potluck evening is free, except for those participating in the silent auction. And, Moore said, they'll be selling calendars.
"The winning photos from our March 2012 film festival are in the calendar that we're selling for $10," he said.

How does it work?
Online courses are similar to traditional classroom courses, and are broken down into a series of units that are one- or three-weeks long. You must complete several assignments before the end of each unit. These assignments include watching video clips of previously recorded lectures, writing papers, reading Chinese textbooks, commenting on fellow students' work, and participating in online class discussions. Chinese courses are presented in either traditional or simplified script. The video sessions, however, are in English, but with a scrolling Chinese transcript so that you can follow the lecture.
- If you want to learn English at the same time, you may choose to view the English transcript.
- Most courses last 17–19 weeks, following a traditional Chinese educational calendar.

The 4 Greatest Things in Comedy (Everyone Misunderstands)
#2. Satire
I don't want to say too much about this, because I've already written two articles about satirists who were crucified by people who missed the point, but I couldn't discuss comedic things I love that bring me pain without mentioning satire. It's true, people hate satire. It's confusing. It upsets them. Wanna know something else? Lots of people who claim to love satire also don't get it. I've had non-satirical works of mine defended many times by people who wrongly called it satire. It works both ways.
Wikimedia Commons
"Satire like nipple clamps? Nipple clamps work both ways!"
In a nutshell, although the definition of satire can be broad, what I'm referring to most are the kinds of satire that adopt the voice of the thing they're criticizing. That's the part that messes people up the most. Stephen Colbert is not an ardent conservative. He adopts that rhetoric to reveal the flaws in its logic. Jonathan Swift cold-heartedly proposed eating the babies of the poor as a way of criticizing indifference to their plight (while ridiculing wrong-headed social programs). But why say the opposite of what you mean, dude? It's just extra work for the reader. And people hate working. Still, the things we work for penetrate our minds most deeply.
I really don't want to mention my name only a paragraph away from Colbert and Swift, but if I had to recount my most painful experience with satire, it would involve a comment fight I had with a gay woman I offended to no end with my piece supporting gay marriage. It was written from the perspective of a small-minded straight man completely clueless about the gay community and indifferent to the need for gay marriage to be legalized. By warning gays against marriage, it was my intent to show why only a fool would oppose it. Yes, many people, straight and gay, got it, but man, was that lesbian pissed. It killed me. It still kills me. Trying to write something helpful and being attacked by the very kind of person you're hoping to help is hard to shake. I still remember her name, which is more than I can say about any random troll who's called me a "retarted fagget."
#1. Greg Giraldo
Greg Giraldo was undeniably brilliant. He was also side-splittingly hilarious, a husband and father, and a drug addict. Greg Giraldo is dead.
Greg Giraldo is my hero (except for those bits at the end).
You probably know Giraldo best from his appearances at Comedy Central roasts, absolutely demolishing the guests and panelists with a visceral mix of highbrow and lowbrow barbs.
You can find his stand-up special online as well, and it's pretty strong, but what made me a Greg Giraldo fan was his work on Colin Quinn's old show Tough Crowd. Every day, he would show up smart and prepared. Giraldo was not a one-trick pony. He had a deep bench of abilities and a wealth of experience to draw upon. His pairing of satirical intellect and sheer funny simply beat the pants off every other guest in every single episode.
Nowhere was that more clear than when Denis Leary came to the show. At that point, Leary was no longer at the height of his popularity as a comic, but was still the big name of the panel and still relying heavily on his schtick of attitude over material. He thought he could just show up and goof on current events, but Giraldo came to play. Clearly both jealous and intimidated, Leary set out to actively step on Giraldo's jokes. He then proceeded from joke-stepping to openly mocking Giraldo for doing well. Basically, Leary was just like any bully you've ever seen. Not only was he picking on someone for all the wrong reasons, he was doing it out of his own insecurity while surrounded by his old buddies Lenny Clarke and Colin Quinn.
Except Greg Giraldo -- a young comic getting sucker punched and surrounded by a heavyweight -- had something that Leary didn't have: brains and balls. He did not back down. He topped him in sheer intellect, he topped him in funny, and when it looked like it might get physical, he did not blink. Here is, literally, with no hyperbole, one of the greatest things I've ever seen:
The "little" guy won. The smarter guy won. The more talented guy won. The braver guy won. This clip is everything that is right with the world. This clip is justice. This clip is what you show your son if you want him to grow up to be a man.
Of course, time rolls on. Denis Leary transitions into an actor, which doesn't require him to make actual jokes or do his comedic homework, and he's still alive and doing great! Giraldo, on the other hand, did not cross over to the next level. I don't know what drugs he was addicted to or why he couldn't quit them. I don't know how hard he did or didn't try. I just remember he OD'd, spent some time in a coma, and died. And we can't blame that on Leary or the business or even the people too stupid to love him as much as I did. There are few people whose respect I wanted more than his and I'll never get it, and we will never see another moment like the one in the video above. A moment that just for a second made life look like a game that could be won if you did all the things they taught you as a child living in a world that was fair.
Come see Gladstone do stand up at NYC's Bareburger on May 22, 2013 and the Gotham Comedy Club on May 28, 2013. Also, be sure to follow Gladstone on Twitter and stay up-to-date on the latest regarding Notes from the Internet Apocalypse. And then there's his website and Tumblr, too.

| Published: January 2013
Growing numbers of businesses are committed to reducing their environmental impacts, slashing energy and resource costs at the same time as tackling climate risks.
But for all their good intentions, every business faces the same challenge: how do you reduce the environmental impacts of supply and value chains that stretch around the globe. As businesses from Apple to Walmart have found in recent years, you can have an impressive sustainability strategy, but its credentials are quickly undermined if your suppliers have environmental horror stories hidden in the closet.
Thankfully, progressive companies are increasingly aware of this challenge and are realising how emerging technologies can help them track the sustainability of their value chain, giving them crucial data on resource shortages, climate risks, and environmental under-performance. Armed with this data, they are also realising that it is possible to operate a genuinely green supply chain that is committed to reducing carbon emissions, water use, waste levels, and numerous other environmental metrics.
This report from CA offers best practice guidance on how ingraining a culture of visibility and accountability across the value chain, allows organisations to accelerate their sustainability change agenda.

Top Definition
The act of buying and subsequently wearing a leather jacket in an effort to look tough, cool, virile, or otherwise appealing. A Fonzie Scheme is usually run by someone who in fact is NOT any of these things. The name derives from the name of Arthur Fonzarelli, star of the sitcom "Happy Days," who is the epitome of leather-jacket-wearing cool guys.
Did you see that Tim, the shy guy from IT, is wearing a leather jacket today? That dude is totally trying to pull a Fonzie Scheme and score chicks.

But perhaps the most important question that shows like Sherlock, House and Luther raise is this: What's the difference between being a troubled, misunderstood soul and just being an asshole? The obvious answer is "genius," but I'm kind of dumb and I would like to get away with being a jerk, so I don't want that to be true. Therefore I propose to isolate all of the many variables that distinguish the Troubled Savant from the Fucking Asshole, in order to lazily exploit them for my own ends. Because frankly, I'm sick to death of kicking open hospital doors to yell at the patients inside and finding not applause for my ballsy dedication, but angry family members and impending arrests.
#5. Keen Observational Skills
The most obvious difference between assholes like me and Troubled Savants like House is that the latter are constantly making observations, while I'm constantly making crude snare traps to set around my box of Work Wine. So if I ever want to start ensnaring the sweet pity-lovin' of the Troubled Savant, and not just the unsuspecting co-workers who unwisely approach the company fridge, I need to regear my efforts away from hunting my fellow man like small game and direct them toward deduction instead. After spending several minutes researching the different types of dirt, skin conditions and weather patterns in England -- which, according to Sherlock, are the only things I need to know to know everything about everybody -- I am ready to inflict my genius on my fellow man. Toward this end, I absconded to one of my many Normal Beard locations, the corner coffee shop, wherein I studied the barista with my cold, calculating new eyes:
"I'll take a large Irish, with room for coffee," I said, just waiting to T-bone her with the garbage truck of deductive reasoning.
She started to reach for one of those Styrofoam Jameson containers they sell at the coffee shop, when I spotted my opening.
"Wait!" I screamed, "Don't touch that cup!"
"What?! Jesus, what is it?" she cried, leaping backward in surprise.
"Don't you dare touch my cup with those hands. I know where they've been," I said, baiting the metaphorical wine snare.
"Excuse me?"
"Your eyes. They're discolored. A pinkish hue. Now, you could just be tired from working double shifts to try and make the student loan payments on your useless yet astoundingly expensive liberal studies degree, but we both know that's not really the case, is it? No, this discoloration is due to none other than conjunctivitis, otherwise known as pinkeye. The most common cause of which is the improper washing of hands after using the restroom. That's right: You've got the poop-eyes, my dear. Of course, this comes as little surprise to either of us, seeing as your questionable ancestry and unlovable lips mean that you've no doubt grown up impoverished and starved for affection, and have therefore resorted to turning tricks on the side to supplement your meager service income. A fact which is only confirmed by the whore dirt that has accumulated beneath your fingernails."
That's what that stuff is called. For real. Look it up. I'll wait.
"Th ... the what?"
"The whore dirt. Do at least try to keep up. Whore dirt is the soil that naturally accumulates on skanks, drawn in by their various perfumes, moisturizers, harlot oils and hussy unguents, and is most often found congealed into a fine sludge collected in the more difficult places to reach while washing up, of which you do little. In conclusion: I find you to be a desperate, filthy girl of loose morals and myriad diseases, which renders you unsuitable to touch a stripper pole, much less my coffee cup. I propose that we bone in the alleyway instead."
Amazingly, my display of troubled genius solicited a remarkably similar response to my normal, non-brilliant assholery. Namely, a swift and merciless beating by all within earshot. Clearly, uncanny observational skills alone are not enough to distinguish brilliance from belligerence.
#4. Only Have One Friend
Sherlock, House, Luther -- what do they all have in common? They have only a single friend in the world in which to confide, an intellectually inferior man Friday who serves as a dumb, kindly foil to their cutting ingenuity. But this practice is obviously only applicable to the realm of fiction, because it's nearly impossible to pull off in real life. I mean, how does one acquire a whole friend? I have many half-friends, step-friends and friends twice removed, but no single solid friend-mass to call my own. Luckily, I had the perfect solution:
"Dan! My intellectual inferior! How's it g-"
"I don't want to be your friend," Dan replied instantly.
"How did you know what I was going to ask? Shit, are you savanting, too? I gotta warn you: Observation turns into racism and misogyny reeeeaaaally quickly."
"Ask? I didn't know you were going to ask anything. I just don't want to be your friend. Ever. In general. It's literally all I have to say to you."
So, long story short, I built a robot:
#3. Have a Nemesis
So now I have a friend programmed to love and understand me unconditionally (and also to exterminate all Dans), but something is still missing. Sherlock, House and Luther all have one friend, true, but that's not the only person in their lives. They also all have one nemesis: Sherlock has his Moriarty, House has his Cuddy and Luther has his Alice Morgan. But which direction do I go?
Do I want a compelling and effective pure villain, like Moriarty? I suppose Soren Bowie fits that description, but we were having lunch one time and I think he said something about Plato. That makes him waaay smarter than me. I mean, it could've been "burrito," and we were eating burritos, but I'm not a gambling man. So do I go the House route and make my nemesis also my chief love interest? Dan's already said he won't be my friend, but I guess he didn't say anything about fuck-enemies. Still, just looking at his stupid face right now, I can tell he's itching to hit the HR buzzer at the slightest provocation (he had a custom button installed that auto-files complaints; I protested at first, but actually it's way easier for all of us this way). No, I think I have to take my cue from Luther, and make my nemesis also ... my only friend.
So I gave my robot an eye patch. Now he looks totally nemesissy. Nemesisish. Neme ... he looks badass.
That's a relative term, of course.

You may have noticed her license plate around town, and thought she was a musician. But East Cooper resident, Jeanie Heath, is a native Sullivans Islander, often known as a Fiddler after the fiddler crabs abundant on the island.
People who grew up on the island during her era were know as Fiddlers, and this Fiddler has a story to tell. In her new book. The Fiddlers of Sullivan Island, Jeanie Truesdale Heath, explores the fascinating creatures set amongst the memories of her childhood and the Sullivans Island of the 1940s and 1950s.
Scurry the story teller shares not only factual information about his world, offering an education for all those unfamiliar with it; but he also jogs the emotional memory buttons of those who lived during this time. Those who grew up around pluff mud know you are forever bound to it.
Heath is no different. Her mother managed the lunchroom at Sullivans Island Elementary School and her father was a bridge tender on the Ben Sawyer Bbidge. She and her siblings knew the fiddler crabs and their culture well. Trying to tell these stories in her memoirs is where Scurry took hold.
With a lot of trial and error, frustration and determination. Heath completed her goal. With the assistance of Office Express in Mount Pleasant, the beautifully illustrated book is now off the presses and selling throughout the community, at Royall Ace Hardware Ben Sawyer Boulevard and Highway 17, Pitt Street Pharmacy, Southern Accent, the gift shop at the park under the Arthur Ravenel Bridge, Boone Hall Farmers Market, Haddrells, My Favorite Thngs on the Isle of Palms, Cafe Medley on Sullivans Island.
It will be in Barnes and Noble soon. It is also available on Amazon and Kindle. John Albrecht, who grew up on the Isle of Palms, captured the unique look of the fiddler crab with his illustration on its cover.
I love the delight of the children who are reading my book, explains Heath, but I am truly amazed at the number of adults who are enjoying it just as much. Heath is making an effort to reach out to those in the community through local book signings and speaking engagements. Im having a ball talking with people I havent seen in years, reminiscing about days gone by, and sharing more stories about our wonderful Lowcountry.
After Heath married Alee Heath and moved to Mount Pleasant, they owned Heath Farms Produce Market and Bakery. She also worked for Kinder Care Learning Centers and retired as district manager for Charleston and Savannah. She has two daughters and five grandchildren.

The 5 Easiest Ways to Ruin Any Vacation
#2. Lost Companions
My original plan was to turn Banff into a mini-family vacation. I'd fly up for Calgary Expo and then meet Wife or Wife and Kids two days later in Banff. Well after booking that first part of the trip, school, time, passports, finances, and many other things made that an impossibility. I was traveling alone.
How do you do that? When I checked into my hotel, I stumbled on the answer ...
You might be thinking the answer to being alone was writing. After all, that's a photo of a lovely blank journal, and I have been known to write. That's an excellent guess. In fact, the same thought occurred to me. But I quickly nixed it for a better one. Careful readers will notice that just off to the side of that journal is a lovely Canadian microbrew. I quickly decided the best thing to do was get drunk.
I decided to head to a bar. Specifically, the Banff Ave Brewing Company. I then proceeded to offer money in exchange for alcohol. (The Canadians are just like us when it comes to this!) First I drank this:
A beer that weighed as much as a small baby, and almost as delicious!
Then I somehow got a shot for free. Then I made friends with the whole bar, and someone bought me this:
It's vodka, Kahlua, coffee, and ice through a straw. Then I actually paid for some more beers. It was a lovely time. I've lost my point here, I think. Much like I lost the ability to control my bladder that night. Oh, wait. I think it's, if you're traveling alone, be sure to make new friends. And it's easy to make friends in Banff because, seriously, I'm not that likable.
Here is a pic with my buds, whose faces are obscured for legal reasons (they have Canadian restraining orders against me).
#1. A Bad Attitude
Vacations are finite. Finances are finite. Bad events can ruin the whole thing, especially if you let it. That's why maintaining a good attitude is so important. With my searing corneal pain, sudden bad weather, lost traveling companion, and poor packing, it would have been really easy to have had a crappy time during my short stay in Banff. But I didn't. And not just because I was drunk the whole time, but because everywhere you looked was beautiful and everyone was really nice.
Maybe it's because half the population appeared to be Australian, and I'm HUGE in Australia. Seriously, lots and lots of Aussie. Why they decided to love skiing when their homeland is devoid of snow is beyond me, but they loved the place. Then again, back home, they hunt Jews like me for sport in the Outback, but in Banff, they poured me free beers. So, really, all bets were off with these folks.
But it wasn't just the Aussies. Everyone was super nice, and everyone was super happy just to be in Banff. It was infectious. So while I may enjoy hating on stuff as much as the next guy, it simply wasn't possible in Banff.

on October 3, 2012 - 12:28 AM
, updated October 3, 2012 at 12:43 AM
Last week, four games into his senior season of high school football, JD Recor was called into the office of Bishop Timon-St. Jude coach and athletic director Charlie Comerford. Comerford told Recor that he had to sit out Friday night?s home opener against St. Mary?s.
?It was heartbreaking,? said Recor. ?Not being able to be able to play in your home opener your senior year, it stinks.?
Recor, who transferred from Lancaster to Timon halfway through his junior year, was ruled ineligible by the Monsignor Martin Association under the same rule that prevents athletes from transferring into MMA schools for their senior season.
That rule is pretty easy to understand. The timing of the application of this rule is not.
As we sort this out – as they say in school – pay attention.
Recor is primarily a lacrosse player, and a very accomplished one at that. He has verbally committed to Marist. After his transfer last winter, he played lacrosse as a junior for Timon. He will play again next spring. There is no problem with his lacrosse eligibility.
The problem is that he played football for Lancaster as a junior.
He wanted to play football at Timon as well, a fact that was acknowledged in the transfer paperwork filed to the league last winter by both Recor and, according to Comerford, by Timon. Recor stated that he had played both sports at Lancaster and sought to continue to play both at Timon. With the paperwork filed, Recor went on to play lacrosse, and at no point was Timon told that there was a problem with any eligibility.
Recor spent the summer working out with his football teammates, five days a week. He was in training camp in August, and played in the Tigers? 21-14 season-opening win at Williamsville South (he played well, running for a 65-yard touchdown on the first play of the game).
After Timon?s opening game, a complaint was filed with the Monsignor Martin Association about Recor. The league then told Timon that Recor was ineligible. Timon appealed the decision, during which time Recor could still play. Timon thought it had a good chance of winning the appeal, so it did not tell Recor this was going on – I can understand that: Why deliver beyond-his-control bad news that might not turn out to be bad news at all?
The appeal took three weeks. The appeal was denied.
?It was shocking,? Recor said of his being told he could not play last week. ?I was pretty angry when I first heard it. I thought, how can it happen, because we did everything right. We weren?t hiding anything.?
Recor and his family said they appealed to the Monsignor Martin?s principals, and that was denied. Recor?s father, Dave, said there is one final appeal that they are making through the league, one that will be heard by a separate committee. Dave Recor said that if that committee does not restore Recor?s eligibility, he and his lawyer will seek legal action to allow Recor to play.
?If they would have said that within two weeks [of filing the paperwork], the rule is the rule and that?s that, we could have accepted that,? said Dave Recor. ?Seven months later, that doesn?t seem right. The only one suffering, is my 18-year-old son who just wants to play football. He just wants to play.?
Monsignor Martin Association president Brian Kiszewski was not able to be reached to comment.
Dave Recor said the family?s reason for the transfer to Timon was that they wanted a smaller class environment for JD to get his grades up and for him to be a part of the Tigers? outstanding lacrosse program. Football was not a major motivating factor in the move.
Timon is certainly a better team with Recor on the field, but they are a top 10 large school either way. This isn?t about the team or the school, which also filed the correct paperwork.
In the big picture, this is about a senior who wants to play. So how about we find a way to make that happen?
I understand the letter of the law and the rule is understandable. But the timing of how this unfolded was terrible and could have been avoided. Nowadays, every sport is a year-round affair. Recor prepared for a football season because his paperwork had been filed and his transfer to play lacrosse was without issue. This current situation, and this entire appeal process, is one that could have been prevented.
?We weren?t trying to hide,? Dave Recor said. ?Everyone knew he played [football] last year. That?s why we filled out the waiver. He played lacrosse in the spring. Within two weeks we should have known if it was denied.?
If the Recors don?t win the appeal, how about a compromise?
Recor has already sat out one game. He?s likely to sit out another this weekend as the appeal process continues. The league can order him to sit out another game or two, a significant price to pay in what is a nine-game regular season.
There are some who may claim that letting Recor play will lead to more mid-year transfers where football players will move from school to school. No it won?t. If anything, this episode will keep the league, and its schools, on its collective toes so that a situation like this doesn?t happen again.
There?s no reason for a high school senior to have the turf ripped out right from under his feet.
Dougherty's back
Senior quarterback Ryan Dougherty, who was knocked out of that season-opening win at Williamsville South with a torn ACL, made his surprising return to the field during Timon?s 28-21 win over St. Mary?s Friday night.
?It was the best feeling after being out and sitting out,? said Dougherty. ?To not be there against tough teams, it just kills you not being out there. The doctor told me I could possibly come back since I?m a drop-back quarterback. I rehabbed pretty hard and got a pretty sturdy brace. I can move well, take all my drops. The first time I wore the brace I had to do it in front of the doctor, and I was almost shocked how much it helped.?
Timon coach Comerford said that it?s great to have Dougherty back, both for his arm and for his leadership.
?As far as we were concerned, it was his family?s decision ... we?re thrilled to have him back,? Comerford said. ?He?s like a coach on the field. If you didn?t know he was injured [earlier], you wouldn?t have noticed it Friday.?
Around the halls
? There is some must-see-PrepTalkTV at buffalonews.com, including St. Joe?s coach Dennis Gilbert and son Dennis Jr. talking about the Marauders? big win at Aquinas.

As parents, our job is to be a step ahead of our kids—to know what they are doing and show them how to do it appropriately; to know the limits of kids at different ages and be realistic that despite our kids' mature moments, they are still kids; and to parent online as we do off-line so if they are crossing a line, we can intervene.
Developmental differences factor into our kids' online lives in tangible ways. Just because our kids may look and act maturely, that doesn't absolve us of our license to parent any more than it gives our kids a license to freely use these applications. It's all about development, especially of our kids' brains!
That being said, there are actually many ways we can talk with our kids using technology.
Advantages: great for letter-like communication, updates, sending pictures, attachments, references, humor, and staying in touch
Disadvantages: not great for "instant" communication or for having a significant conversation that is better off-line
Disadvantages: not great if requires immediate reply; not perfect for full, long conversation; may hinder writing and social abilities in teens because of shorthand used
Advantages: great way to stay connected and let kids know you are involved; good for humor and just being involved
Disadvantages: privacy concerns—entire network can view post; not appropriate for private conversation but often used that way
Advantages: allows direct communication
Disadvantages: limited by cell coverage
Advantages: instant communications like texting
Disadvantages: must be online and logged on to the service to communicate with the person of interest; not great for full conversation
Advantages: visual conversation in real time; can see body language and facial expressions to gauge emotional responses
Disadvantages: connection issues; interference issues if music or other ambient noise on either side; need to be online and logged in
