Deaf readers translate stories using American Sign Language.
When it comes to reading stories to deaf children, one of the most prominent dilemmas is whether to sign the stories in ASL or in a manual code developed to represent English. Parents and teachers worry that if they don't sign every word in English word order, the deaf children will not pick up on the English in the text. However, a look at research on how deaf mothers and fathers read to their children makes it clear: they use ASL to read the stories to their children (Lartz & Lestina, 1995; Mather, 1989; Schick & Gale, 1995; Whitesell, 1991). A study by Schick and Gale (1995) noted that children found stories told in ASL more interesting and engaging.
Deaf readers keep both languages visible (ASL and English).
Although deaf readers use American Sign Language, they also place great importance on the written English of the text. Deaf parents demonstrate this when they read to their deaf children by keeping the English print visible while they interpret the story in ASL (Akamatsu & Andrews, 1993; Lartz & Lestina, 1995; Mather, 1989; Schleper, 1995b; Stewart, Bonkowski, & Bennett, 1990). This allows the children to look freely from parent (ASL) to the book (English), making sense of both. In one reading session, a deaf child interrupted his mother to ask, "Where does it say that?" The mother traced her finger along the part of the story that she had just signed. The child looked from the page to his mom, back to the page again, then looked again to his mother and with a nod signaled that he was ready for her to proceed with the rest of the story. Researchers have observed deaf parents frequently calling attention to text in a story, then signing, then pointing again to the text to help the child connect to both languages. In related research, Mather (1989) observed a deaf and hearing teacher read stories to deaf students in a classroom. One primary difference observed by the two readers, both fluent signers, was that the hearing teacher did not keep the text visible while signing a story to her class, while the deaf teacher did.
Deaf readers are not constrained by the text.
Erting (1991) observed a deaf teacher reading the story Noisy Nora by Rosemary Wells to a group of preschool children. This, translated from ASL, is what the teacher signed:
- Daddy is busy. So, Nora goes over to see
- Mommy, taps Mommy, and says, Mommy.
- But Mommy has to pick the
- baby up and burp the baby. Maybe the
- baby has to burp. So she is patting him
- on the back. Nora tries to get Mommy's
- attention, but Mommy is busy with the baby.
This is what the text on the page said:
- Jack needed burping.
Obviously, the deaf reader has elaborated extensively on the text. The other information comes from the illustrations, from what has happened in the story thus far, from the underlying theme of the book, and from the needs of the deaf children who are enjoying the story. The reader helps build the background knowledge necessary to understand the story. This tendency to elaborate on the text has also been observed in deaf mothers (Andrews & Taylor, 1987). This suggests that when reading to deaf children, parents and teachers need not be obsessively concerned about knowing each and every word within the text, but should place higher priority on conveying the story.
Deaf readers re-read stories on a "storytelling" to "story reading" continuum.
Like their hearing counterparts, emerging deaf readers enjoy having the same story read over and over to them. Trelease (1995) explains that this is a natural and necessary part of language development.
"These rereadings coincide with the way children learn. Like their parents, they are most comfortable with the familiar, and when they are relaxed, they're better able to absorb. The repetition improves their vocabulary, sequencing, and memory skills. Research shows that preschoolers often ask as many questions (and sometimes the same questions) after a dozen readings of the same book, because they are learning language in increments not all at once. Each reading often brings an inch or two of meaning to the story."
According to Schleper (1995a), deaf readers elaborate on the text extensively the first time they read a story, but then each successive reading of the same text has less and less elaboration. The signing comes closer and closer to the actual text. What occurs is a continuum, moving from a great deal of signed elaboration toward a more direct translation of the English text into American Sign Language.
The same process is used by teachers in a process known as shared reading, where the same story is read and re-read in the classroom to help emerging readers learn about stories (Schleper, 1995b). One can logically conclude that deaf readers use less elaboration in subsequent readings of the same text because they have already built the background knowledge the child needs during the initial readings of the story.
Deaf readers follow the child's lead.
Deaf readers let children take the lead during read aloud sessions (Ewoldt, 1994; Maxwell, 1984; Van der Lem & Timmerman, 1990). This can be as simple as allowing the deaf child to select the book to be read, permitting the child to turn the pages, and waiting for the child to examine the pictures and text in a book and then look up prior to reading the story.
Following the child's lead also involves adjusting the reading style to fit the child's developmental level. With young children, or children who have had limited exposure to books, this may mean initially focusing on what is happening in the pictures. As children grow older and their attention spans increase, deaf adults tend to read more complete versions of the texts. This can be illustrated by observing a deaf father while reading to his deaf children, a daughter, 3, and a son, 6 (Schleper, 1995a).
The father initially read Little Red Riding Hood by William Wegman to his young daughter. This book has lots of text that accompanies photos of dogs dressed up as characters in the story. As the father read the story, his daughter turned the pages. She was clearly interested in the pictures. Following his daughter's lead, the father allowed her lots of time to examine each picture; when she looked back at him, he signed what was happening. During this reading, the father essentially ignored the printed text and instead retold the familiar tale.
In contrast, when he read to his 6-year-old son, the father followed the text, carefully translating into ASL. The son also held the book and turned the pages. The father traced his finger along the text before signing each page, and occasionally paused to allow his son to fill in the next part of text. Because the son was already beginning to read on his own, the father was again following his child's lead.
Although deaf parents consistently follow their children's lead, classroom teachers seem to struggle with this concept. Ewoldt (1994) observed parents and teachers in booksharing sessions over a four-year period and noted that parents were more likely to follow the children's lead, while teachers were more inclined to establish their own agenda and struggle to get children to fit into this agenda.
Deaf readers make what is implied explicit.
When deaf readers sign a story, they tend to add information to emphasize ideas in a story that are not directly stated in the text, but are clearly implied. For example, when a deaf father read Little Red Riding Hood to his daughter, he explained how the wolf donned Red Riding Hood's grandmother's clothing. Then the father added, "He is trying to fool the girl." The text never stated directly the reason behind the action, but the deaf reader wanted to make the reason obvious for his daughter. The addition of information to make the meaning of the story explicit, or to clearly state the main idea or moral of a story, appears to be a common technique used by deaf readers.
This principle can be further illustrated by examining how deaf readers interpret the story, The Dancing Fly, by Joy Cowley. This is a predictable story about a pesky fly that buzzes around a store and annoys a storekeeper, who tries unsuccessfully to swat the fly with a fly swatter. The first couple of lines of the text are: "There was a little fly, and it flew into the store. It danced on the window, and it danced on the door." Schleper observed 10 different deaf readers sign the story. Inevitably, each reader began the story in a similar manner. First he or she introduced the fly, then added a sign for "arrogant" or "big-headed." Although the text never mentions the fly's personality, this characteristic is implied throughout the story through the struggle between the storekeeper and the fly.
Like most of the principles observed with deaf parents and deaf teachers, this technique appears to be intuitive and unconscious on the part of the deaf readers. However, one can surmise that such a practice directly impacts the deaf children's reading achievement. By modeling the comprehension process and reading between the lines, deaf readers are showing how a story has meaning that goes beyond the printed text.
Deaf readers adjust sign placement to fit the story.
A common strategy used by deaf adults reading to deaf children is to adjust the placement of signs to maintain interest and variety (Akamatsu & Andrews, 1993; Lartz & Lestina, 1995; Van der Lem & Timmerman, 1990). Occasionally, the reader will place a sign directly on a child, such as making the sign for "cat" directly on the child's face. Other times, the reader will make the sign on the book or an illustration. For example, a deaf parent might use the classifier for a vehicle, place the sign on an illustration of a car, and then move the sign along the picture of the road in a book, as if the car is driving along the street.
In one situation, a father who was reading to his daughter came to the last picture in a book about Little Red Riding Hood. In the picture, Red Riding Hood and her grandmother were eating cake with the woodsman. The father asked, "Are you hungry?" When his daughter nodded, the father mimed taking a piece of cake from the picture and offered it to his daughter. His use of sign placement helped his daughter interact with the story.
At other times, deaf parents make the signs in the usual place. It appears that variation in placement of the signs, from on the child, to on the text, to the regular place, helps deaf children connect to the stories being read.
Deaf readers adjust signing style to fit the story.
Critical aspects of speech are tone, intensity, and pitch of voice. Skilled readers to hearing children vary their intonation and volume to give life to the characters in the story. They vary their pitch to illustrate the high pitched voice of the baby bear or the booming voice of the papa bear in Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
In a similar way, deaf readers adjust their signing style to bring characters to life. A skilled deaf reader will adopt a more rigid, stilted signing style to portray an uptight person, sign using miniature signs and small signing space to depict someone who is timid, or use big exaggerated signs to show a "loud" character.
Research on deaf parents shows that they use extensive variation in how they make their signs to make the stories interesting for their deaf children (Lartz & Lestina, 1995; Mather, 1989; Stewart, Bonkowski, & Bennett, 1990; Van der Lem & Timmerman, 1990).
Deaf readers connect concepts in the story to the real world.
Skillful deaf readers constantly relate experiences of their own to the characters and events in the stories they are reading (Akamatsu & Andrews, 1993; Andrews & Taylor, 1987; Lartz & Lestina, 1995; Stewart, Bonkowski, & Bennett, 1990; Whitesell, 1991). Deaf readers help children build this skill by regularly making connections between the story and the lives of the children they are reading to. As one deaf mother read a story about a cat which lapped up some milk, she added, "You know, the same as Sparky (their dog) drinks his water." The child laughed and nodded, clearly making the connection of their shared experience.
A father who read Whales, the Gentle Giants to his children paused periodically to help them connect the story to their own experiences. The children had chosen the book because it reminded them of the movie Free Willy. After the father read a section of the text about a blue whale, he turned to his 3-year-old daughter and asked, "Are whales big or small?" "Big," the girl replied. "Really big!" the father agreed. Then his 6-year-old son walked over to the far wall of the family room to show his sister how big a blue whale really is. "That big," he said.
His father told him that a blue whale is much bigger, but they remained skeptical. Then the father tried to help the children relate the whale's size to objects in their own lives. He said, "It's huge. It's the same as when you see a football field. It's big, right? This whale is bigger!"
Deaf readers use attention maintenance strategies.
It is perfectly natural for deaf children to look away or down at the book sometimes while an adult is reading a story. Although this can be frustrating, experienced deaf readers find appropriate ways to respond (Akamatsu & Andrews, 1993; Andrews & Taylor, 1987; Lartz & Lestina, 1995; Van der Lem & Timmerman, 1990). Usually, deaf readers wait patiently until the child looks up again, then continue to read. Deaf readers also use a variety of strategies to keep their deaf children's attention.
Most commonly, a parent will lightly tap the child on the shoulder or leg to get attention. If the parent is sitting alongside the child, the parent will often gently nudge the child, or shift the book to first draw the child's attention back to the text, and then to the waiting parent. The deaf parent also uses facial expression to maintain attention, and eye contact appears to be central in holding the child's interest. One behavior noticed with hearing parents and teachers, but absent with deaf parents, is grabbing the child by the chin and forcibly pulling the child's face to attention.
While young children sometimes do this with their parents, it is not an acceptable practice to model for the children. Deaf readers also recognize the power of peripheral vision. They note that deaf children pick up a lot even when they are not looking directly at the reader's signs. And, since the deaf reader will often read the same story over and over again, the child will have plenty of opportunities to get any information missed during any one reading.
Deaf readers use eye gaze to elicit participation.
Eye contact is clearly an important consideration when reading to deaf children. Mather (1989) researched the importance of eye gaze when reading to deaf children. She found readers used two types of eye gaze during reading sessions: individual and group gaze. One deaf teacher used group gaze effectively to involve all of the students in the reading and individual gaze to direct questions or comments to particular children.
Mather noticed that hearing teachers sometimes used inappropriate eye gaze with deaf students, leading to miscommunication during reading sessions. One teacher, for example, commented to her class, "Some of you don't know this story." Instead of including the whole group, her gaze was focused on just one student. The child being singled out replied defensively, "I know! I know!" It is clear that eye gaze plays a key role in maintaining attention and eliciting responses during read aloud sessions.
Deaf readers engage in role play to extend concepts.
Several researchers point out that deaf readers often act out parts of a story to help clarify meaning (Ewoldt, 1984; Mather, 1989; Rogers, 1989). A deaf teacher who was reading The Three Little Kittens to a group of preschool deaf children noticed that the children were not following the story. Quickly, the teacher mimed the kittens tracking mud into the house. Then she brought the children into the role play by becoming the mother cat and scolding the kittens. The children's grins demonstrated their renewed understanding and involvement.
A mother and her 4-year-old deaf son also used role play during a session with the book Roll Over! A Counting Song by Merle Peek. This story is about a boy who shares his bed with nine animals. Each time they roll over, one animal falls out of bed. During the booksharing session, the deaf mother and her son were sitting on the bed as the mother read, "Ten in the bed and the little one said, 'Roll over! Roll over!' They all rolled over and one fell out."
When she finished the section, her son stood up and fell dramatically off his bed, landing exactly in the same spot as the monkey in the book. He climbed back into bed, and as his mother went on reading, he continued to role play the animals, each time falling happily out of bed.
Deaf readers use ASL variations to sign repetitive English phrases.
Many predictable books for young children have phrases that are repeated over and over again. For example, "He huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in," from The Three Little Pigs, or "Fee! Fie! Fo! Fum! I smell the blood of an Englishman!" from Jack and the Beanstalk. When deaf readers read these repetitive phrases, they don't always sign them the exact same way. In fact, evidence suggests that deaf readers vary the way they sign repetitive English phrases. In these situations, the children see the English text remain constant in the book, while also being exposed to various ways to sign the concepts.
Sometimes these sign variations are used to maintain interest in the story. For example, in the story Roll Over! A Counting Song by Merle Peek, the chant, "Roll over! Roll over!" is repeated 10 times as each character in turn rolls off the bed. When a deaf mother read this book to her son, she pointed to the English text (which was the same each time), but then signed the text in various ways. Sometimes she used a classifier to show the animals rolling together. Other times, she used a different sign for "roll." Sometimes she used other variations.
The variety of ways she used to express the concept seemed to hold her son's interest in the story. Other times the use of sign variations helped to convey increased intensity or "volume," such as when each successive troll crosses over the bridge in The Three Billy Goats Gruff. While the English words remained the same, the deaf adult used different ASL translations each time the English phrase was repeated. Perhaps the readers were subconsciously demonstrating that there is no direct word-to-sign correspondence between English and ASL, and that, in fact, there are multiple ways to convey the English meaning in American Sign Language. In the process, the deaf readers are also developing the children's signed vocabulary, and, one can assume, promoting the children's ability to make meaning from the English text.
Deaf readers provide a positive and reinforcing environment.
Reading is supposed to be fun. It is also supposed to involve the construction of meaning through reciprocal interaction between readers and text. Unfortunately, in many classrooms with deaf children, the teacher controls both the interactions and the interpretation of the text. Ewoldt (1994) observed extensive control on the part of teachers during booksharing. The teachers she observed used a variety of correction responses to children's comments. Those responses ranged from simply telling a child, "You're wrong," to ignoring the child's answer, providing a different answer, changing the meaning of a child's message to fit the teacher's version of the story, or restating the teacher's own interpretation.
In contrast, research with deaf parents shows they provided a positive, interactive environment (Akamatsu & Andrews, 1993; Andrews & Taylor, 1987; Ewoldt, 1994; Rogers, 1989). They did not seek "correct" answers from the children during reading. Rather, they set up a mutually rewarding atmosphere that encouraged the creative interpretation of text. In one reading session (Schleper, 1995a), a deaf father was reading Little Red Riding Hood to his daughter. His daughter tapped his knee, then turned back to the previous page and pointed. "Look at the teeth!" she said. "Yeah, the teeth are sharp! Like fangs," the father said, reinforcing the child's observation. "They have blood on them," the daughter pointed out. The father questioned this, pointing to the illustration. "Where?" he asked. They examined the picture together. "Maybe you re right. They do have blood!" the father said.
Instead of ignoring his daughter, or telling her she was wrong, the father let her make her point. His positive, reinforcing response helped make booksharing enjoyable. And when the read aloud sessions are enjoyable, it is more likely that the child will retain fond, positive associations with books and reading.
Deaf readers expect the child to become literate.
A final principle that seems to underlie the read aloud sessions between deaf adults and deaf children is the positive belief in the children's abilities. Whitesell (1991) observed a deaf teacher with a reputation for producing good, enthusiastic readers, hoping to determine which of her teaching strategies and practices seemed most critical. After observing for an extended period of time, Whitesell discovered the key: "The teacher expected them to become literate."
Most deaf parents do not read to their children in order to teach them English or to instruct them in the reading process. They want to share their own love of books. While they may expect some academic benefit for the children, that is clearly secondary. When Schleper (1995a) asked deaf parents if they thought their children would become literate in English, they all replied, "Of course!" There was never any doubt.

For many years, educators have known that children who come from homes in which storybook reading takes place have an educational advantage over those who do not. These children are more likely to read before they are given formal instruction, and those who are not early readers are more likely to learn to read with ease when formal instruction does begin.

York Tech Named an Accredited
Training Provider for Energy Star Rating
February 23, 2010
ROCK HILL—As
part of its longstanding commitment to promoting energy efficient
construction, York Technical College has received Home Energy Rating System
(HERS) Training
Provider Accreditation from the Residential Energy Services Network
(RESNET). York Tech is the first college in
the nation to receive this designation.
"Achieving this accreditation eliminates a major hurdle in allowing the
college to train a workforce knowledgeable in energy efficient
constructions methods for the future," said Rod Trump, director of York
Technical College's Energy Resource Center.
Working with the South Carolina Energy
Office and the major electrical providers in the two Carolinas, this
accreditation is a significant step in York Technical College's
ability to train Energy Star raters for both North and South Carolina.
A home energy rating
involves an analysis of a home's construction plans and onsite
inspections. Based on the visual verification, the Home Energy Rater uses an
energy efficiency software package to perform an energy analysis of the
home's design. This analysis yields a projected, pre-construction HERS
Index. Upon completion of the plan review, the rater will work with the
builder to identify the energy efficiency improvements needed to ensure
the house will meet ENERGY STAR performance guidelines. The rater then
conducts onsite inspections, a blower door test (to test the leakiness
of the house) and a duct test (to test the leakiness of the duct
system). Results of these tests, along with inputs derived from the plan
review, are used to generate the HERS Index score for the home.
"Given that a great deal of energy in our state is
used in the residential sector, this accreditation will go a long way to
increase energy efficiency throughout the state," said John Clark,
director of the Energy Office. "York Tech will be providing a vital
service to South Carolina as it trains professionals to
indentify energy savings."
In 2008, with strong support from the offices of
Sen. Lindsey Graham and
Rep. John Spratt, York Technical College's Energy Resource Center was
able to secure $200,000 in federal funding to establish a Residential
Energy Efficiency program in connection with the college's
established Building Construction Trades program to
develop courses in energy efficient construction methods.
These courses will strengthen the skills, capacity, and global
competitiveness of the U.S. in the areas of energy efficiency and
renewable energy.
Working closely with
local home builders, the City of Rock Hill, the S.C. Energy Office,
Carolina Community Action, and others, the college's Energy
Resource Center—whose
mission is to strengthen South Carolina's energy, environmental and
economic vitality through the use of renewable energy sources, energy
conservation, energy efficiency, and the use of alternative fuel
vehicles—has undertaken a
number of initiatives related to energy efficient construction in recent
years. These include hosting the
SC/NC Home Energy Efficiency Conference as well as the Home Energy Expo.

HERS Index
The HERS Index is a scoring system
established by the Residential Energy Services Network and recognized by
the EPA in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS
Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation
Code) scores a HERS Index of 100, while a net zero energy home scores a
HERS Index of 0. In order to be considered an Energy Star home it must
score 85 or lower. The lower a home's HERS Index, the more energy
efficient it is in comparison to the HERS Reference Home.

Making the choice
We're in the pre-season doldrums now. The real campaign for President won't begin for months. You think it's nasty now? Hey, just wait. At the moment I have no clue who I'll vote for. Before I make up my mind, I want to watch and listen to a campaign. I want to hear what these […] [Read More]
Fixing the banks
New Yorkers aren't seeing the ads. Neither are Texans. They're airing only in the 17 or so swing states, one of which I spend some time in, so I've seen the campaign ads several times a day on TV. The first ad bashes Mitt Romney. It features a bunch of blue-collar people who'd been downsized […] [Read More]

The story began on the front page of the Washington Post, jumped inside to a spread on two pages and got more or less the play that might have been given a plane crash that had killed 200 people. Its thrust? The story told the tale of a teenage Mitt Romney in 1965, while a […] [Read More]

Click here to purchase the updated version of "Child Training Tips: What I Wish I Knew When My Children Were Young (Autographed) (Paperback)"
By Reb Bradley
"This is the best book on child-rearing I have ever read." – Joseph Farah, WND
Product Description
"Child Training Tips" is not just another interpretation on how to train a child – this book has no equal! Every chapter consists of symptom lists which identify behavior problems and expose trouble spots in parenting.
Answered are questions like:
Editorial Reviews
"We at Rhino Technologies have followed Reb Bradley's speaking for several years through our recording work at conventions. It is clear that he has touched and helped literally THOUSANDS of families with his messages of encouragement, openness, honesty, and grace. With his gift of writing and speaking, he has been able to put into words what so many in our culture feel today about making a difference with their own families. Reb tells it straight, and we know the impact, because we have talked to thousands of those who have purchased his CDs and tapes, and taken to heart his messages." – Mark Reinhardt, executive director, Rhino Technologies
"I've seen families significantly transformed by following Reb Bradley's practical approach to parenting. If you want to reclaim peace in your home – or even experience it for the first time – get your hands on his materials. It's not too late to change your relationship with your children – and make them the leaders of tomorrow that our country so desperately needs!" – Nanette Woitas Holt, president of Image Ink Publishing
About the Author
Reb Bradley, a retired pastor, speaker and writer on family life issues, has devoted his life to strengthening families.
Some might assume he is someone who has done everything right and therefore feels qualified to instruct others, to which he responds, "Don't I wish that were true!" His gift, he says, "does not seem to be doing things right the first time – I am jealous of people like that. No, my gift is that of analysis and documentation – I make mistakes, then learn from my mistakes, and share the answers with others." It is because he understands human nature and has taken careful notes on his parenting foibles, as well as the parenting journeys of so many thousands, that he has a basis for evaluating the dynamics of family life, culture and politics.
Bradley and his wife Beverly, who live in California, have taught all six of their children at home. His books include "Born Liberal, Raised Right" and "Child Training Tips: What I Wish I Knew When My Children Were Young."

"The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars."
Devoted students of the Bible might recognize that verse from Isaiah 9:10, but it is hardly a widely discussed and broadly debated scripture. That may be about to change with the release of this new and highly anticipated book -- "The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery That Holds the Secret of America's Future."

Reve Walsh still remembers the last conversation she had with her six-year-old son Adam at a Florida shopping mall.
"I said, 'I'm going right over here to the lamp department,' and he said, 'Okay, Mommy, I know where that is,'" Walsh told "Nightline."
Reve Walsh rarely speaks publicly of her son's murder, but chances are you've heard of Adam Walsh, or at least his father: Reve's husband, John Walsh became the public face of the missing children's movement after Adam's death and is the longtime host of "America's Most Wanted."
Now, as a new book, "Bringing Adam Home," tells the story of the Adam Walsh case, the Walshes sat down to speak with "Nightline."
Adam Walsh was abducted from a suburban Florida shopping mall on July 27, 1981. Two weeks later, his severed head was found floating in a canal. The rest of his body was never recovered.
"When all this was going on, I just thought to myself, I can't wait till it's 20 years or 25 years," Reve said. "I don't care about getting old, I just want this experience of my life to be that far away from me because I thought it would be different. It's really not."
From the beginning, the Walshes were disappointed with the police department in Hollywood, Fla.
First, the Walshes say the cops didn't take the missing persons case seriously enough. Then they say the police botched the murder investigation.
"It was one nighmare after another," John Walsh said.
The prime suspect was Ottis Toole, an admitted serial killer who was in prison for many other crimes.
"You keep killing and killing and it gets easier and easier and it don't really bother you," Toole once told Texas law enforcement.
Toole made 24 documented confessions to killing Adam Walsh, including a 1984 videotaped interview with Texas Rangers. During the interview, he said, "I kind of feel bad about that Adam Walsh kid."
"That is," he said, "the youngest child I ever killed."
Toole even wrote the Walshes a letter in 1988, demanding $5,000 in exchange for telling them where the rest of Adam's remains were.
"I read that letter and went into the bathroom and threw up," John Walsh said. "I said, 'This son of a bitch. We have to figure out a way for him to tell us what happened."
In the decades that followed, John became a celebrity and "America's Most Wanted" helped capture more than 1,000 criminals. But Adam's case remained open -- Toole recanted his confessions about Adam's murder three times and charges were never filed against him, with authorities citing at lack of evidence.
As the years went by, Reve Walsh grew increasingly frustrated.
"I cannot go to my grave not doing everything I can possibly do," she said. "We are going to get a cold case detective, we are going to start from the beginning, and have this man work this case. I don't care if you go to work just to pay the bill of this private investigator.' And John said, 'I know the guy.'"
That guy was Joe Mathews, a retired police detective who had briefly been involved in the Walsh case early on and was critical of how it was handled.

I'm with you, Tater. (Rific or Forcier).
Last night's loss given how we chipped down an 11-point hole and led, 44-42, with 6:40 to play, to a hated opponent, at home, was devastating. But let's throw this team back on the court several more times, and NOT under a bus, to see what they can do. Long way still to go. As you mention, you live by the 3, you die by it...on any given night. I'll be the first to admit we had little or no right beating Duke...but we DID. So who can say? For the rest of the reg.season, we'll likely win one or two we shouldn't, and lose one or two of the same "classification".
Indeed, MichBoy! And let's all hope, with all within us, that that "OTHER" ex-WVU coach we've hired makes a similar turnaround (OK, at least SOMEWHAT similar) in HIS sophomore go-around!!!
Thanks, Tater...
Actually, others' conflicting opinions don't bother me one itoa, whether
coming from the grammatically-challenged or the articulate. Everyone's entitled to theirs.
We might have won, but for that late dry spell.
And at least the game with tighter, for longer,
than the debacle in A2. You have to
crawl before you walk...and walk before you run.
The recent 3-game winning streak definitely demonstrates the team's
making strides.
Hey, a win---as ever/always---would have been much better, but I'm not crushed or distraught;
after all, we did beat the team we always want MOST to beat (in anything)!
Good post, and I, too enjoyed the victory immensely!
Now, to your postername. True, Rich(-Rod) IS no Bo. And thinking of the 21st century's brand of football, and remembering all those Rose Bowls
in the 70s and various bowls in the 80s, I can only add, "THANK HEAVEN!"
BenAA, assuming no sarcasm on your part,
I hate to correct you thusly, but Lloyd's teams (at least the past few years) being out of shape is more the norm than the exception. Or, at least winded, if not downright spent, come the fourth quarter (against physical opponents).
I'm fully confident Rich-Rod and his crew---in particular Mike Barwis---will rectify that. Sooner rather than later!
Kind of early to predict it'll clear the fence, or stay fair, but if not a "home run", certainly at least a base hit with runners in scoring position (or inside the Red zone!). Breath of fresh air, at least offensively, for a (at
least relatively) stagnating program.
On another angle, I feel a lot fewer compunctions about it---I'm not about to march down Main St., Morgantown crying "Mea Culpa!", or even "Me a Culprit!"---than most Mountaineers probably think we all should, but "The University of West Virginia at Ann Arbor" does have an eerie ring...
(Though Bielein's boys are playing "eerie", alright)

Feb. 1, 2009
HONOLULU, Hawai'i - Second-ranked Cal State Northridge came to Hawai'i on the heels of six straight wins but will leave the island with a two-match losing streak as the 12th-ranked Warriors defeated the Matadors in the finale of a two-match MPSF series Saturday at the Stan Sheriff Center. Set scores were 30-26, 21-30, 32-30, 30-26.
With the win, the Warriors improve to 3-6 overall and 2-4 in the MPSF. The loss drops the Matadors to 6-2 overall and 3-2 in conference play. Northridge has now dropped seven consecutive matches in Hawaii dating back to 2003.
Senior All-American Eric Vance led the Matadors with 27 kills while hitting .328. Vance now has 114 kills in his last four matches against Hawai'i, an average of 6.71 kills per game. Vance also added 15 digs for his third double-double in eight matches. Sophomore Tanner Nua added 15 kills (.200) and six digs while Jacek Ratajczak chipped in 11 kills (.364), two aces and four blocks. Kevin McKniff and Mike Gaudino also added a pair of aces but the Matadors were again victimized by 26 service errors. Gaudino added 15 digs and Ali'i Keohohou posted 14 digs in the loss.
Despite the loss, Northridge had an edge in almost every category on the stat sheet. The Matadors had a 67-55 edge in kills, 65-51 edge in assists, 7-4 edge in aces and a 61-54 edge in digs. The Warriors won the battle of the net with 17.0 team blocks to 10.0 for Northridge.
Hawaii jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in the first set after a Brennon Dyer kill. The Matadors battled back to get within one at 9-8 after Kevin McKniff and Matt Stork combined to stuff Steven Hunt. But a resulting 5-1 run by the Warriors forced the Matadors to take a timeout at 14-9. A Ratajczak kill out of the timeout followed by a Gaudino ace temporarily closed the gap to 14-11. Hawaii maintained its lead until a Nua kill followed by a Stork ace gave Northridge its first and only lead of the set at 20-19. With the score tied 25-25, back-to-back kills from Dyer gave the Warriors the cushion they needed and McKniff's service error on set point put Hawaii up 1-0.
After Ratajczak opened the second set with a service error, the Matadors got back-to-back kills from Vance which propelled Northridge on a four-point run forcing Hawaii into an early timeout at 4-1. A Nua kill out of the timeout gave the Matadors their biggest lead at 5-1. Northridge also led 6-2 after a Vance kill but a 3-0 Warrior run cut the lead to one at 6-5. The Matadors continued to hold a slim lead but couldn't pull away until a Vance kill gave Northridge a five-point lead at 17-12. Hawaii cut the Matador lead to two at 18-16 but Northridge answered with a Nua kill, a Ratajczak ace and a Vance kill (his eighth of the set) to boost the lead back to five at 21-16. The Matador lead was never less than four the rest of the set and Nua, Gaudino and Ratajczak teamed up for a triple-block on set point.
The two teams traded sideouts for the first 13 points of the third set before a Steven Grgas ace put Hawaii up 8-6. The Warriors continued to hold a slim lead until Matt Rawson-Dyer block gave Hawaii a three-point lead at 11-8. Another co-block, this time by Joshua Walker and Grgas, gave the Warriors their biggest lead at 15-11 before Gaudino answered with a kill pulling the Matadors within 15-12. Northridge then scored five of the next seven points, highlighted by a Nua-Ratajczak block and a Ratajczak kill to pull even at 17-17. Northridge managed to knot the score four more times but could not take the lead until a Nua kill followed by a Gaudino-Ratajczak block gave the Matadors a 22-21 lead. A Vance kill gave Northridge its biggest lead at 23-21 before two straight Warrior points tied the score 23-23 forcing a Matador timeout. Northridge would not surrender the lead before a Vance kill and a Dyer hitting error gave the Matadors a 28-26 lead. However back-to-back Hawaii points knotted the set for the 16th time at 28-28. A Vance kill put Northridge on the verge of the win at 29-28 but Walker answered and the set was headed for extra points. The Matadors saved one set point at 30-29 but a Hunt kill gave the Warriors the set 32-30.
Northridge fell behind 5-1 in set four and was forced to play catch-up the rest of the way. A Grgas ace put Hawaii on top 9-4 forcing the Matadors to call timeout. Another Grgas ace gave the Warriors their largest lead at 18-12 resulting in another Northridge timeout. The Matadors slowly began to chip away at the lead ultimately pulling within 22-21 following kills from Nua, Ratajczak and Vance. But three consecutive Warrior points all but sealed the win and Kaleo Baxter's service error on match point sent the Matadors to their second straight loss.
Walker led Hawaii with a team-high 19 kills (.259) while Hunt added 15 (.407). Setter Sean Carney posted 48 assists and 10 digs while libero Ric Cervantes added a team-high 15 digs.
After playing seven of its first eight matches on the road, Cal State Northridge returns home to open up a five-match homestand beginning Friday, Feb. 6 against Long Beach State. First serve at The Matadome is scheduled for 7 p.m.

1 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
1 (16 ounce) can
chocolate syrup
1 cup
all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons
6 tablespoons
1 1/4 cups
white sugar
1 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
To keep the frosting from being granular, be sure and frost the brownies when they're still warm! My father in law and friend's husband started counting how many they saw each other eat...funny!
It was more like cake than a brownie. It was not chocolately enough and the sugar did not dissolve well in the icing, even though I left the icing on the heat longer than I would have otherwise.
30 Ratings
My friend makes this recipe, but she adds mini marshmallows to the top when the brownie part is done cooking, then returns it to the oven to melt the marshmallows, cools, then frosts. I used a smaller baking pan and mine came out thick and cakey with longer baking time needed (I don't have a jelly roll pan). I didn't make the frosting, but the brownie was delcious.
i have the same recipe, it was handed down to me from my grandmother about 37 years ago. the only differnce is that she added 1/4 cup of mini marshmellows, let them melt and then pour over the cake.
to die for!! love them! :)
I took these to a pot luck and I hardly got a chance to eat, everyone was coming up to me for the recipe!!
These were pretty good, although the icing came out a little granular once it cooled. A great way to get rid of old chocolate sauce in the fridge. I took them over to a bunch of my guy friends and they demolished them (but I'm pretty sure they don't chew). Had several comments on leaving off the icing next time. I'll let you know!
Hmm...ok. I'm the "baker" of the family and am always cooking one thing or another. I like to use homemade recipies because those have no hydrogenated oil. Even though I'm a teenager, I've made a lot of brownies and I followed this recipe to the letter. (I ommited the frosting entirely, though.) The brownies were good, but I recommend less butter (it didn't blend well), and less sugar. The mix was thin and resembled a cake more. I added melted marshmellows and that improved the flavor a ton (:
hope this helps.
Love these brownies. The frosting seems to turn grainy or sugary. I did exactly as the recipes called for and frosted the brownies while they were still warm but it still turned grainy. My aunt's recipe called for 1 c. sugar insteadof 1 1/4c. plus 8 large marshmellows(1 large =8 mini's) and boil 1 minute instead of 3 minutes and then on low till marshmellows melt. I think the boiling three minutes turns it too grainy. Add the marshmellows with the chocolate chips.

Toxic substances take many forms in our chemical laden world. Cleaning products, makeup, pesticides, building materials, contaminated ground water and many other types of products can have damaging effects on the body. An illness that is brought on by toxic substances is difficult, as the illness may not manifest for years after exposure. Asbestos, which was one of the most common building materials, is a prime example of this problem, and many lawsuits have been successful in recovering compensation for this exposure. If you believe that you have become ill due to a toxic substance, it is advised that you contact a Martin County mold and toxic substance claims attorney. You will definitely need a proven attorney to fight the fight in these cases.
The law does not require that the proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt" in such cases. This is helpful as the fight could be long and hard with corporate attorneys whose job it is to protect their company from claims. When going up against such companies, you need a powerful and proven personal injury attorney. At Lauri J. Goldstein & Associates, PLLC, the attorneys have a "take no prisoners!" attitude towards fighting for the clients. The aggressive and uncompromising attitude of the attorneys is exactly what is needed if you are seeking maximum compensation in such a case.
Toxic mold is that mold that causes sickness in those who are exposed to it for long periods of time. Each person's physiology is unique and some have more serious and immediate reactions to the mold than others. The mold is caused by moisture that somehow gets into the inner walls of a building. Builders are aware of the dangers of toxic mold. However, the home you live in may have been built years ago. Whatever the situation, Lauri J. Goldstein & Associates, PLLC can provide you with the answers to your questions about possible claims and how to proceed. Contact an attorney as quickly as possible if you or a family member has suffered illness brought on by toxic substances or mold.
Contact a Mold and Toxic Substance Claims Attorney from Lauri J. Goldstein & Associates, PLLC, if you suspect you are suffering from the harmful effects of any product that may be toxic, industrial waste, or toxic mold.

I'm sure Stefan meant l += 0x01000000; (which is quite inaccurate but not *that* inaccurate :-) It's also considerably slower than just the 2 fp multiplications on any platform with a FPU.

Spellbinders Grand ImpressabilitiesFriday, November 4th, 2011
Many of you are familiar with Spellbinders Impressabilities, especially if you are a card maker, but have you tried the Grand Impressabilities? These are fabulous for Scrapbookers since they will emboss/deboss almost a full 8 1/2 x 11″ sheet of paper!
The Impressabilities templates will emboss, deboss, stencil, letter press and embellish all in one product.
Impressabilities embellishment templates allows crafters to effortlessly emboss or deboss the front of your scrapbook layout or add embossed or debossed accents to pre-cut shapes and letters, creating uniquely detailed embellishments.
Using micro-tip scissors, Impressabilities can also be trimmed to create custom templates for flourishes, frames, charms and more. And, when used with inks, Impressabilities templates can create elegant debossed Letter Press effects.
Here are a couple projects that I did using the Fall Splendor Grand Impressabilities which is perfect for this time of year.
I embossed a sheet of card with the Fall Splendor in my Grand Calibur then rubbed Tim Holtz Distress Ink over the top to bring out the leaves.
I also used DC0202 Nesting Maple Leafs and the Splendid Alphabet (back ordered) from Quickutz.
This box was fun. I cut the box using Spellbinders LF-012 Square Petal Top Box then ran it through with the Fall Splendor. I used DCWV Shimmer card stock and Tim Holtz Distress Ink again to bring out the embossed images. I finished it off with some Petaloo glitter leaves. Fill with candy and have a great office gift!
I hope that gives you some ideas for the weekend!
Thanks and Happy Scrappin'!

Indescribably unhealthy fast food isn't just for Americans. The entire globe is guilty of creating food so amazingly tasty (and terrible) that the human race will be killed off in approximately 13.2 years. However, while you're still alive, you might as well focus on trying at least one of these incredible foreign fast food items. Except for the wasabi donuts. Because, gross.
1. A Baby Ruth "chocodilla" - Taco Bell, Guatemala
2. Rice Kongee - KFC, China
3. Coconut Shrimp Pizza - Pizza Hut, South Korea
4. Chili Cheese Nuggets - Burger King, Czech Republic
5. Dry Pork & Seaweed Doughnut - Dunkin' Donuts, China
6. Tom Yum Crunch Chicken - KFC, Malaysia

15. Spinach & Parmesan Nuggets - McDonald's, Italy
16. Spicy Bean Burger - Burger King, Europe & Asia
17. Bacon Groovy Pizza - Domino's, France
The next time someone blames obesity on American fast food, just link them to the pizza with mini hotdogs on top.

Anyone see The Orphanage yet? I was a little disappointed when I saw that Del Toro just produced it and didn't direct it, but it was pretty good. I was sort of subconsciously holding it up to the standard of Pan's Labyrinth thinking Del Toro directed it. It reminded me a lot of The Others meets The Sixth Sense at first but I thought it was better than either of those.

Once everything runs on 4.2 or 4.3, there are almost no reasons to downgrade to firmware 4.1.
There are only two reasons why firmware 4.1 is preferd over 3.2, and that is because 3.2 doesn't have the SD card menu, and doesn't have support for SDHC cards.
Overall, all firmwares are very similiar to each other when everything is installed and working, but the difference lies in the process of softmodding itself.

Never do any softmodding in the middle of a thunderstorm
Maybe helpful to add
Ok Thanks,

Ok Sounds Good.
I was thinking of redoing all the step by step hack wit the priiloader and everything else since I dont have these programs on the Wii.
When I hacked my wii I had a paper format of the hack, and I just found it on the web *Removed Guide Link*. So that was exactly what I did to hack it. Later on as I said before, the Wii was Updated threw Wii Resort Cd.
I haven't tried to play a backup cd(USB) on the wii since I am not sure if the update scr**ed me over.
I prefer by far the instruction that were indicated on wiihacks.com, so do you think if I just reinstall everything using the installation guide for 4.2E Wiis I would :
1- fix the issue, and
2- Would be able to play back up games
Thanks In advance. ( The Wii is still working for snes roms, and Wii Resort, so Gf is not complaining... yet )

Hmm, I'm not really sure here to be completely honest with you.
The guide is for virgin (never softmodded) Wiis, but I'm not sure if any problems occur if you are softmodded already.
Best would be to wait for someone with more knowledge about this to reply here

wiiflow 2.2, wiiMC, hbc, gcn backup launcher 0.2, priiloader rev78, bootmii/boot2
Depends, really.
I don't think anyone bothered to read the user agreement (which you accepted probably), but if it says they will disable the Wii if you make unauthorized changes then it's completely legal.
Microsoft is doing the same with xbox360s by the way, completely blocking them from use if they find a modchip (the only way around it is reflashing the memory in case of the xbox)

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Located on the harbor, within walking distance of Old Town
Stavanger is a small city with charm to spare. Old Town is one of the most appealing historic areas in all of Norway, with cobbled streets, quaint white wooden houses, and flowering gardens. The city also has the advantage of being close to both beaches and skiing: In fact, it's possible to drive to the slopes in the morning and hit up the beaches in the afternoon. Boat trips to the Lysefjord depart right from the harbor; though the Lysefjord is not as famous as the Sognefjord, it's still very beautiful and access is more convenient. For cultural attractions, Stavanger offers several interesting museums, including the Canning Museum and the Petroleum Museum. (Stavanger is a hub for businesspeople in the oil industry.)
This historic, 107-room property is a haven for business travelers, with multiple meeting rooms and frequent conferences hosted on-site. The location on the harbor and within walking distance of Old Town will appeal to leisure travelers as well, though the hotel can feel a bit overrun by business guests during big events. Lovely historic details include wood paneling and chandeliers, but the overall feel is slightly corporate and some areas could use renovation. Standard Rooms have traditional decor but are a bit bland, and lack the level of charm found in other parts of the hotel. Room decor gets more impressive as you go up in price category, as do the amenities: Only suites come with L'Occitane toiletries and tea/coffee makers, and only Deluxe Rooms and above get robes and slippers. All rooms come with free bottled water, minibars, flat-screen TVs.

However. You can just use iTunes:
1. Open iTunes (drag the track into iTunes to add it to the library if it's not already in there)
2. Right-click the track and select Get Info.
3. On the Options tab tick the Start Time and Stop Time boxes, then enter times for each (no more than 30 seconds apart, the maximum length for a ringtone). If you want to use the whole file, providing it's under 30 seconds you can leave the default values.
4. Click OK, then right-click the song again and select Create AAC Version. You should immediately see a new duplicate of the track.
5. Drag that version out of iTunes and onto the desktop.
6. Change the file extension of the file on your desktop from .m4a to .m4r.
7. Drag the file back into iTunes
8. Have a look in the ringtones part of the library and you'll see it there.
9. You can now sync it to the iphone

I think some of my trouble has been a significant delay of Adding a File to my iTunes Library and it actually getting there, LOL.
