Secretary Cohen: Commander Frank, thank you very much for that introduction. I can look out into the darkness and can't see many of you, but I wanted to express my deep and sincere appreciation for your comments and also for your service this past year and well beyond that in the past. You are truly a hero of the American people, and I wanted to express the Department of Defense's congratulations and appreciation to you.
Yesterday, you paid tribute to Senator Bob Dole, and you also had the benefit of hearing from Speaker Newt Gingrich. You also heard from Sgt. Major Shalikashvili, and in view of that distinguished company, of course, I feel like the traditional Missouri mule who is entered into the Kentucky Derby. Nobody expected him to win, but they all knew he would benefit from the association, and I hope to benefit from the association of being with you here today.
I also would like to express my personal appreciation to Bill Rogers, also to Tony Jordan, who I understand is running for something, and to the entire Maine delegation. And I'd like to say here today that without the support of the American Legion, the delegates who are here from Maine today, I could not possibly have served for 24 years on Capitol Hill. It was through the strong and loyal support of the American Legion in the State of Maine that I was able to win so many elections and to speak on behalf of the veterans and our military in the halls of Congress. I want to thank you personally here today.
Whenever I speak to a new audience, I like to talk about the story of Henry Ford, who after having made all of his millions in this country, decided he wanted to go back to his fatherland in County Cork, Ireland. And, of course, his reputation for wealth had long preceded his arrival.
When he finally stepped off the plane there were a group of local town officials who were waiting for him. They wanted a contribution for the construction of a local hospital and, of course, he was quite accustomed to being touched in that fashion, and he pulled out his checkbook. He made a check out for $5,000.
The next day, in bold print in the local paper, it said "Ford Contributes $50,000 for the Construction of Local Hospital," and the town officials were terribly embarrassed. They came rushing to Mr. Ford. They said, Mr. Ford, we are really sorry. This was not our fault. It must have been a typographical error, and we will be happy to see to it that a retraction is printed in tomorrow's paper. And he said, Wait a minute. I think I've got a better idea. If you give me one wish, I'll give you the balance of $45,000.
It was one of those offers they really couldn't refuse. He pulled out his checkbook, he wrote out a check for $45,000. He said, "The only thing I want is for you to allow me to pick an inscription that will be over that building when it is finally completed, from the source of my choice." So he gave them the check, the hospital was built, it is there today, and it has a plaque over the entranceway with a quote taken from the Book of Matthew; and it says: "I came unto you as a stranger, and you took me in."
Now, I would like you to take me in, but not in that fashion; but I want to talk about a different type of taking in today, and that is the taking in of new members into NATO. This summer, the United States and the NATO allies took a very historic step of inviting three former Communist countries in eastern Europe to join NATO -- Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic -- all of which are now thriving democracies.
But before they can join NATO, the United States Senate and all of the NATO parliaments have to vote to ratify their membership. And this is a very serious and a momentous decision for our country because ultimately it means committing our most precious resources, the lives of our men and women, to defend these new nations in Europe. We are already witnessing this great debate taking place in the halls of Congress, in the newspapers, over the airwaves, in the living rooms, indeed, in the halls such as this.
And so I come to you because when the American Legion stands for NATO and supports NATO enlargement, as it did yesterday by its strong and overwhelming vote, it carries great moral, and I would say political weight, because when the American Legion speaks, I can assure you, those in Congress listen. Because you more than any other Americans know that NATO enlargement is in the national security interests of the United States. And that knowledge is born of personal experience and the central lesson of this century: America cannot be at peace if Europe is at war; and to prevent war in Europe, America must stay engaged on the continent. And as veterans, you know the cost of isolation, because you've paid the greatest price for having to preserve the freedom of others.
Our veterans of the First World War witnessed how even the vast Atlantic Ocean couldn't protect us from being drawn into the fiery hatreds of the Old World. And those veterans went over singing, "We won't be back until it's over, over there." But too many failed to make it back when the fighting stopped on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, which we mark as Veterans Day. And from muddy trenches that served as graves for too many, the "lost generation" gave us the chance to build a safer world for the next generation. But to our lasting regret, when the guns of November fell silent, America ignored the embers of hatred that still smoldered in Europe, and we missed the opportunity to prevent another war.
We were not struck, if I can paraphrase a poet, by the sudden illumination that we had the experience, but we missed the meaning. Our World War II veterans paid for this missed meaning and missed opportunity, and they witnessed how Hitler had stoked the embers of hate until they ignited into the deadliest war in human history. Sons returned to the very same terrain that their fathers had died defending, and they plunged into the crashing surf, braved the hail of hot steel to free an entire continent.
There was a reporter for Stars and Stripes who was there, and he wrote the following words. "There have been only a handful of days since the beginning of time in which the direction the world was taking has been changefor the better in one 24-hour period by an act of man. June 6, 1944 was one of them. What the Americans, the British, and the Canadians were trying to do was to get back an entire continent that had been taken from its rightful owners, whose citizens had been taken captive. It was one of the most monumentally unselfish things that one group of people ever did for another." That D-Day observer, "Oh by the way," is today's Andy Rooney of "60 Minutes" fame.
That generation won the Second World War, and gave us a second chance to build a safer world, and as President Truman told the American Legion Convention here in Florida 49 years ago, "Our purpose from the end of the war to the present has never changed. It's been to create a political and economic framework in which lasting peace can be constructed." Truman, of course, was talking about the Marshall Plan. It was the plan to help the people of Europe rebuild their economies and societies on the foundations of democracy and peace. It was also a strategy to silence once and for all the voices of the twisted and the mad by building a new Europe that was healed and whole and free.
Western Europe embraced the Marshall Plan, and they built strong democracies and economies and a strong alliance that we call NATO. But the other half of Europe was denied the Marshall Plan when Joseph Stalin slammed down the Iron Curtain on the fingers of America's helping hand. But, still, America did not turn its back.
Through the long winter of the Cold War, we stood again with the free people of Europe; and today, having emerged victorious from that long, twilight struggle, we have an historic opportunity and a very sober challenge. The opportunity to complete George Marshall's vision and the challenge to secure a lasting peace in Europe to ensure that Americans never again have to fight and die on European battlefields. And we owe this to the veterans of World War II, to the veterans of the Cold War, who earned us yet another chance to build a safer Europe for the next generation. And building that safer Europe and a more secure America really is at the heart of this entire debate about NATO enlargement.
There are a number of people who question whether making NATO larger is going to make NATO weaker and therefore weaken America. I would argue to the contrary: A larger NATO means a wider allegiance to our values. And those of you who have served shoulder to shoulder with our allies in the world wars know the power of military alliances in defeating a common enemy. Those of you who served during the 50 winters of the Cold War have seen the power of alliances to deter aggression. It was the creation of NATO in 1949 that halted Soviet designs on western Europe. It was the enlargement of NATO, with Greece and Turkey, in 1952, the enlargement with West Germany in 1955, the enlargement with Spain in 1982 -- that helped to strengthen the wall of democracy. And thanks to NATO, no American blood has been shed fighting another war in Europe for more than 50 years.
So enlarging NATO with Poland and Hungary and the Czech Republic is going to carry that promise into the next century. And the same reasons that were used and argued for enlarging NATO with West Germany 42 years ago, I think they apply completely today as well. Wisconsin Senator Alexander Wiley said, "Once more the heart of the West is reaching out. The German people will return to the place where they rightfully belong, to the place of equality and partnership with the western world. They share our ideals. They have made the greatest recovery in Europe. They are vital and vigorous and dynamic people. We need them, and they need us."
The Poles, the Hungarians, the Czechs, are vital, vigorous and dynamic people. They share our ideals. They are making a remarkable recovery from decades of domination, and now they want to return to their rightful place as equal partners in the European family of free nations. We need them, and they need us.
You are going to hear a number of arguments that would reject enlargement, that these countries really aren't ready to bear the burdens of membership. Let me tell you, I recently visited many of those countries, and I want to assure you that the Poles, the Hungarians, and the Czechs want to be contributors -- not simply consumers -- of security; and they are ready to share the costs and responsibilities of NATO membership. In fact, they are already contributing to the security of Europe by modernizing their militaries to operate with NATO, by serving with our soldiers in Bosnia to quell the worst conflict in Europe since World War II, by helping to make a success of the Partnership for Peace Program that we have which, like NATO, can thank you, the American Legion, for its strong support.
These nations are building stable democracies with free societies and free markets and modern militaries that are serving under civilian leadership. And history demonstrates that stability and security attract investment, and investment generates prosperity, and prosperity strengthens stability of security and democracy. And so it's a virtuous cycle that is changing this face of Europe and much of the world, and enlarging NATO simply expands this virtuous cycle.
I've also heard it argued that by enlarging NATO, we are going to be creating new lines of division in Europe. But I think those who make this claim fail to appreciate the new dynamic that's underway in Europe that is rapidly erasing these old lines and avoiding these new divisions. Over the past few years, the mere prospect of having NATO membership has unleashed a powerful impetus for peace on that continent.
Old rivals have settled their historic disputes, and they have struck these new accords and arrangements. Poland and Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine, Hungary and Romania, Italy and Slovenia, Germany and the Czech Republic -- all of them, they all healed border disputes and other kinds of controversies that in the past have erupted into war and resulted in American troops being sent to Europe to fight and die. More than that, these old rivals are sealing these new ties by working together in the conference rooms and the training fields of the Partnership for Peace Program.
In June, I traveled to the PFP Center at NATO Headquarters, and there I met with NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, General George Joulwan, who recently retired, and also with General Shevstov, the Russian general. And General Joulwan was presenting him with a medal. It was a unique experience because the medal happened to be dipped into a large glass of vodka, and General Shevstov had to drink the vodka before he could get the medal. And the ceremony started at 8 o'clock in the morning, and he got through it very well. But I must say, it was a truly memorable experience for me to see this very proud and decorated Russian general standing side by side with our SACEUR, and they were toasting each other and embracing each other in the cause of peace.
In July, I traveled to Ukraine, where I saw what was once the Soviet Union's largest military training field in Europe, and I saw the forces of the United States, Ukraine, and a number of other NATO countries and former Soviet Bloc countries.
And what were they doing? They were exercising together. Soldiers who had once trained to fight one another, to kill one another, were training together in the name of peace. And it was an inspiring sight that came just a few days after NATO had signed an historic charter with the Ukraine and replacing a dividing line that once partitioned Europe with a new partnership that now unites Europe.
There are some who insist that enlarging NATO is going to create new tensions and divisions in Russia and jeopardize Russia's move to democracy and its cooperation with the West. But let me say that we should not permit those fears to overwhelm the facts. In numerous actions, large and small, NATO and Russia are erasing these old divisions and dividing lines every day. Russian and American peacekeepers are erasing these dividing lines when they patrol side by side in Bosnia.
I was in Bosnia back in February, and I sat down and had lunch with all of our American forces, and a Russian soldier came up to me and gave me his hat as a gesture of peace, saying how proud he was to be serving side by side with his American counterparts. I never would have believed this. After having spent 24 years, nearly a quarter of a century, on Capitol Hill, I never would have thought that the day would come when we would have Russian and American soldiers standing side by side in the cause of peace.
The U.S. and Russian Air Forces are erasing these dividing lines when they make their authorized observation flights over each other's territory, as we've recently begun to do. We are acting decisively to erase these dividing lines when we signed the historic Founding Act this spring that launched a new era of comity and cooperation.
Finally, those who oppose NATO enlargement claim it is going to cost too much. This argument ignores the fact that alliances save money because they promote cooperation, interoperability, and they reduce redundancy. Simply put, it costs America less to defend our interests in Europe if Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic are in alliance with us, just as it costs them less to defend their interests by joining hands in the alliance itself. And we estimate that the cost to the United States each year over the next decade will be less than one-tenth of one percent of our defense budget. The costs of enlarging NATO are meager when weighed against the cost of rejection, which will be measured not just in dollars, but potentially in lives if we fail to expand this circle of security and risk setting the stage for future European instability or aggression.
So, in the final analysis, we can't afford not to enlarge because it would squander an opportunity that comes only once in a generation. We can listen to the voices of the 1920's that led America to retreat from Europe and allowed the seeds of war to take root. Or we can heed the voices of George Marshall and his colleagues, our World War II veterans and the succeeding post-war generations that rejected isolationism and have reaped the fruits of peace and freedom.
Marshall once said that the cost of war is "spread before us, written neatly in the ledger, whose volumes are grave stones." Well, today, there are more than 70,000 such volumes written across Europe, the grave stones of Americans who rest where they fell liberating a continent. And so their sacrifice echoes down to us through the decades from the hillsides in Florence, from the sloping green in Luxembourg, from the dignified rows on a cliff overlooking the Normandy shore. They did not serve, and they did not sacrifice, they did not die for us so that we could walk away from the lands that they freed. And so it's their voices that we have to heed. In the words of the English poet, Lawrence Binyon: "They shall not grow old as we are left to grow old. Ages shall not weary them, nor years condemn. At the going down of the sun or in the morning we shall remember them."
But we have to do more than simply remember them; we have to complete their work. And there is no greater way to honor them than by doing what the American Legion has done, and that is to go on record in favor of enlarging this circle of security. The American Legion serves as a living memorial to your fallen comrades, and their voices echo through you. When you speak out in support of preserving the peace by enlarging the alliance, the Legion and each one of you personally can play a critical role by carrying this message back to your communities, your local Legion halls, your places of work, the churches, the synagogues, your local news media. Together I believe we can raise the lamplight of history so that we don't stumble on the footpath to the future.
I'd like to offer just a final word to all of you who are here. I've spoken about the veterans of World War II and the contribution to liberating Europe from the Nazi war machine. The World War I and World War II veterans, those of Korea, Vietnam, Beirut, Grenada, Panama, Somalia, and Bosnia, I want to thank you for who you are, for what you have given, for what we have received, and for what we owe. General Shalikashvili told you that we have the finest fighting force in the world today, and we do. We are the envy of the world, but if we are going to maintain that greatness, then we have to continue to recruit and to retain the very best and the brightest in our society, and we have to care for them when they leave the service.
It's not the weapons that we have, the most powerful weapons in the world, the most sophisticated weapons in the world; it's not the weapons that make us a superpower. It's not the satellites. It's not the computers. It's not that total technological edge that we have that gives us the dominance of the battlefield that makes us the world's superpower. It's the people who are willing to give life and limb for the benefit of all that makes us the most powerful and the most envied nation on earth. And so we are all familiar with the axiom that if we take care of those who serve us, those who serve us will take care of us.
Let me conclude with a quote from Churchill. George Jessel said: "If you don't strike oil within three minutes, stop boring." There is another quote: "A speech is like a love affair. Anyone can start one, but it takes considerable expertise to end it." And so I would like to end mine with the words of someone else. And it was a meeting that Winston Churchill had with one of our most distinguished journalists, by the name of Stewart Alsop, and they were spending the day together and indulging in libations that Winston Churchill was so famous for in consuming. They had dinner one evening, and they had several bottles of wine, and then a toast of champagne.
And then Churchill finally turned to Alsop and said, "America, America, a great and strong country. Like a horse pulling the rest of the world up out of the Slough of Despond." And then he looked very directly and coldly into Alsop's eyes, and he said, "But will it stay the course?"
Fifty years later, we can answer his question. America has stayed the course because that's our history. America will stay the course because that's our destiny, and it's our destiny by virtue of the fact that we have men and women, such as you, the American Legion, who have continued to support the American ideals and, indeed, continued to support the men and women who have prepared to risk life and limb for the benefit of all American citizens.
So let me thank you once again, and let me reassure you, we, indeed, intend to stay the course. Thank you.

"Same Love" Ain't About LoveBy
Maybe you've heard it on the radio. Or maybe you saw Ellen Degeneres laud the singers of "Same Love" as her "heroes" for being the first hip-hop musicians to speak out in favor of gay marriage. Or maybe you're new to the game and only heard about the song "Same Love" after Macklemore and Ryan Lewis performed the hit on Sunday Night's MTV Video Music Awards.
"Same Love" was originally released back in February, but only made it to number 89 on the top 100 charts back then, but the song rose in popularity after the SCOTUS decisions on gay marriage back in June.
I heard "Same Love" month's ago when it was first released and was captivated by the smooth vocals of the female singer in the chorus. She sings,
"I can't change,
even if I try…
even if I wanted to.
My love, my love, my love…
She keeps me warm."
I know what you're thinking. How could I hear a female singing those lyrics and not think something was up? Well, I guess I thought it was one of those songs that was written for a man, but sounded better with a woman's voice? Or maybe the girl accidentally put a "sh" in front of "he"?
Nevertheless, I caught the ear worm from this song and couldn't get it out of my head. I had to listen to it every time it came on the radio and sang along.
Then one day, shortly after I had been standing up for traditional marriage on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court in June, I was singing along to the song and it hit me. "Wait, is this… What?!? I've been singing along to an anthem for gay marriage?"
*The awkward moment when you realize the song you've been singing along to is an anthem to gay marriage.*
First of all, I guess I should stop being a hypocrite and stop singing along to a song supporting something that I've been standing up against. But, the major issue that I have with the song is not that it's an anthem for gay marriage, in fact that has very little to do with it.
While there are many issues that I have with the song, and you will too if you take a few minutes to listen to the lyrics, the main issue that I have with the song is it is completely hypocritical and it attacks our faith and the same freedom that the song claims to support. Let me explain.
Since this is a Catholic blog site, let's start with Catholicism. One of the most upsetting parts of the song, the video, and Macklemore's MTV VMA's appearance this week, occurs during this part of the song:
"When I was at church they taught me something else.
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed.
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned."
The video follows a gay man, and when it get's to the words "preach hate", it shows the man's mother making the sign of the cross. Then, at the VMA's Macklemore makes the sign of the cross as he sings into the words "preach hate". Why is it necessary to bring the "Catholic" sign of the cross into this at all? And even more importantly, why must it be attached to the words "preach hate"? I have been Catholic my whole life and I have never heard any words of hate against homosexuals or people who believe in gay marriage from the Church or anyone who represents the Church.
Macklemore goes on and claims that traditional marriage supporters "paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago". When in reality, Macklemore is the one who is paraphrasing the Bible and trying to break it down in ways to support his message. Catholics believe in the unity of scripture, so we actually don't have an issue with paraphrasing the Bible. Maybe Macklemore should spend some time at a Catholic Church, he might like it.
Catholics are all about love thy neighbor and unity of Scripture.
Macklemore is quick to play the blame game and claim that the Church and traditional marriage supporters are the hateful ones. When in fact, traditional marriage supporters are under the most (and worst) attacks in the world today. The song goes,
"If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me.
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily.
We become so numb to what we're saying."
Obviously Macklemore has never been on Twitter and watched the attacks against marriage advocates.
The vitriolic attacks against traditional marriage advocates are a million times worse than the attacks against gay marriage advocates. I get attacked constantly simply because my friends and I are outspoken marriage advocates in the public eye.
And maybe Macklemore should see the hate mail (or worse) that groups like the National Organization for Marriage receive on a daily basis. And what attacks like the gunman who sought to kill members of the Family Research Council, simply because they were vocal supporters of traditional marriage.
The song continues with references to bullying, more attacks on religion, and even more claims that traditional marriage supporters are hateful. Macklemore also asserts that the same-sex marriage movement is the present day civil rights movement. The song continues,
"Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment.
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins.
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference!"
In the video, this part of the song is played during footage of Martin Luther King and the civil rights protests. Comparing the same-sex marriage movement to the civil rights movement is appalling. There are so many issues with this, but I'll just leave you in disgust on that point.
"Same Love" attacks traditional marriage supporters and calls us "haters" while hating on us. The song attacks the Church and conservatives for standing up for our beliefs, and claims we're oppressors while striving to oppress us.
The truth is, the Catholic Church and traditional marriage supporters everywhere are all about love. There is no hate in the Church or in the marriage movement towards anyone who disagrees with us. We're just standing up for what we believe in and striving to do it in the most loving of ways.
Now, I'm just hoping that Eminem steps in to do the heterosexual version of "Same Love", and it can be our anthem for the traditional marriage movement.

Using a gif of a gay man, if anything, illustrates the point that the author is making. Catholics have nothing against Neil Patrick Harris. There's no equality problem. He's even free to get married. Our problem is not with people, but with an idea that is incompatible with our faith (not to mention basic biology). Pope Francis was widely quoted recently in a reminder to not judge people. But we're certainly called to judge actions. To think that it's somehow "ironic" that the gif is used, or that somehow it's a "win" for the other side, shows a complete lack of understanding about what the Church teaches concerning homosexuality.
But, yeah, I'm not sure Eminem is gonna be much help. It's hard to stand up for what's right when what's wrong is becoming popular, especially if you have records to sell to people who go with the flow…
Love is acceptance and compassion in the face of adversity. If your church is about love, then you would accept all partnerships as sacred and allow anyone to marry regardless of gender. I do not hate the traditional marriage movement, and I am sorry if you feel bullied, but imagine being bullied for something you could not change at all. A perspective on what you think is 'wrong' or 'right' is something you can change. Who you fall in love with is not. Anyone who has fallen in love would know this, gay, bi or straight. When we all start accepting each other, it's gonna be mega awesome – communities will band together despite differences and build incredible things! I can't wait for us all to get there, but it will take some work. On your part, on my part, too. Good luck, friend
I agree that love is great. So why do SSM advocates oppose the love between mother and child? Why do you believe gays' children don't deserve ongoing loving relationships with their own moms?
Because a child can't give consent. Do you really need that explained to you?
"Comparing the same-sex marriage movement to the civil rights movement is appalling. There are so many issues with this, but I'll just leave you in disgust on that point."
The civil rights movement's main policy was for equality as humans, which included LGBT rights. I certainly was left in disgust for you to suggest that two people of the same sex getting married has nothing to do with human equality. Martin Luther King might have been fighting for African-American rights, but he also fought for human equality: "black men as well as white men would he guaranteed the unalienable rights of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Surely this article must be ironic to use such a gay icon as Neil Patrick Harris and it is laughable that you would hope Eminem, who is pro-gay marriage would sing a song for traditional marriage.
MLK was a Christian pastor who recognized there were just and unjust laws. Our rights should be based on natural law (like the fact that two women aren't biologically made for each other). And MLK didn't deny God's law of equality of race with segregation enforced by secular govt. MLK would be speaking for conjugal marriage if he were alive today, just like his niece Alveda King!
Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one who thought this. I was sad when this came out…I love Macklemore and his style of "rap" it's different from the copycats out there. Personally I even like him better than Eminem…Mack's voice is softer. But that's not the point. I was sad because I didn't want to loose respect for him…but I sort of had too. The way he attacks Catholics (I being one.) and even stereotypes us and others (which is a part in his song at the beginning. The stereotyping bit.); it makes me want to call him up and explain to him what he is misunderstanding, Thank you for posting something like this. I wish there were some people out there in Mack's industry or just the entertainment industry who had Catholic moral views but did it in a way that would entice all audiences of all ages. And of all religions (or non-religous).
Just something I wanted to say to that part of the article where you pointed out Macklemore's bible criticism, I live in the bible belt, and down here many people do indeed preach about how gays are bad (a good example being Westboro Baptsit, but let's put a pin in that), so that part of the song did make some sense. And, the point of the song was not necessarily to bash any church. And, while YOUR church may be all about love, I can assure you that many down here are NOT about that (I felt the need to reiterate that simply because it is so prevalent down here). I don't personally think that Macklemore is attacking the Catholic church, so much as saying that the way's of the protestant churches should change. In addition, with the current day over polarization politics, it begins to become hard to distinguish between moderates, centrists, conservatives, republicans, etc. In fact, the last republican candiates have used Gay bashing as major parts of their campaigns, and, as a fellow millennial to macklemore, I can understand how many our age would consider the words "Republican" and "Conservative" to be synonymous. Now, you are completely entitled to your own opinion, and I absolutely understand where you are coming from, but perhaps you should try to calmly look at that song from as many different points of view as you can, assuming that you didn't already. Also, as many have informed you, I'm sure, but Neil Patrick Harris is gay, and Eminem supports Gay marriage.
P.S. the reason why this song is so popular is, from a message point of view, because he is truly one of (if not the first) rappers/hip-hop artists to perform a pro equal marriage song.
Your use of a Neil Patrick Harris gif amuses me, as he is gay. Also, Eminem is pro-gay marriage. Just thought you'd like to know. 😉

FIFA Soccer 12
FIFA Soccer 12 is the iPad's definitive football game. It features over 22 officially licenses leagues, 500 licensed teams, more than 15,000 players (including stars such as Kaka and Rooney), and a revamped, gesture-driven control scheme that lets you fire off passes, defensive moves, and pro-style kicks with ease.
Final Freeway 2R
Final Freeway 2R is a blatant Outrun clone with its high-speed arcade racing and branching roadways, but it duplicates that addictive, arcade racing style so well, that you can't help but to wonder why SEGA hasn't produced an iPad Outrun. Final Freeway isn't just one of the best racing games, its one of the best games on the platform.
Lane Splitter
Lane Splitter may involve cars, speed bikes, and the open road, but it isn't your typical racing gameit's a game of avoidance. The mission is to navigate traffic-filled streets using the iPad's tilt controls, and score points based on the length of your ride, wheelies popped, and how many cars you pass before wiping out. The premise is simple, but the tight controls and addictive gameplay will have you coming back for just one more ride.
NBA Jam HD
Packed with over 30 NBA teams and unlockable legendary players such as Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Karl Malone, Dr. Jay, and exclusive iOS-only ballers, NBA Jam keeps the old school, over-the-top simplicity of the '90s arcade machines. Roster updates (something not available for the home console version) and local multiplayer over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi keeps the b-ball antics fresh.
Real Racing 2 HD
If you're looking for the ultimate in mobile 3D racing games, Real Racing 2 HD delivers just that with beautiful, fluid, realistic graphics. Two new iPad 2-exclusive, gyroscope-based steering methods make hugging those curves even easier, since you don't have to touch the iPad's screen to steer.Next: Fighting Games >

No improvement in profit ratio even Christmas is very near- please help
by marthin, Contributor
- Created: November 27, 2010, 4:17 am
Christmas is very near but still there is no increase in my sale, can any one suggest what is the best way to increase sale at this crucial time. Graph of my business is straight all the time ( rarely go's down but never show up's )
vvslaura | Window Shopper | 11/15/2011 - 8:07 am
Chrismas is very wonderful festival that comes end of the year. I always celebrate this season with fun and entertainment. Everyone wants sale more in their business. So if you need it definitely then it is required to made website for it. After that you must need to popular it using social bookmarking sites.
NicoleD | Former Moderator | 11/27/2010 - 4:30 pm
marthin - Take a look at this recent article ' How to Get the Most out of the Holidays When It's Not Your Busy Season ' for some ideas.
entrepreneur | Window Shopper | 11/28/2010 - 8:17 pm
Offer Christmas promotions so that your business will attract more buyers. Sales (e.g. Clearance sales, Warehouse sales, 1 day Sales, Product bundles, Free gift with purchase, Price offs for loss leaders etc.) are enticing offers.
TerjeSannarnes | Window Shopper | 11/29/2010 - 10:32 am
Yes, try to issue discounts, specials, promo codes during the hot season of your business. Potential buyers will appreciate all this staff. Spend more money on advertizing make sure that your prices are really competitive. Perform a research work and study pricing policy of your competitors. If they provide better prices they will definitely have more customers.
MarkAse | Contributor | 11/30/2010 - 12:40 pm
What are you selling? Your link looks like real estate, which I know from experience isn't a holiday sales stable! As for those suggesting coupons etc, I think we all need to be careful to not try and compete with Wal-Mart and other big box retailers which pay less for products than small business. Personally, I never compete on price, it's a losing proposition for me as I need all the margin I can keep. I do have a number of introductory offers, but after that I move back to full price on my wine clubs.
marthin | Contributor | 12/3/2010 - 12:40 am
Yes NicoleD, the artilce you have shared is great but still i am not intellectually satisfy, i want such tips which dont require any expense or very less expense like i can spend 20 hours for my business but offers or coupons or advertisement etc is costly for me.

Sadio Doumbia
April 17, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- Former Georgia men's tennis player and two-time All-SEC selection Sadio Doumbia was honored Wednesday by the prestigious Terry College of Business at the school's annual Honors Day ceremony on campus.
Doumbia received the Leverett Excellence Award and was recognized as part of the 2012-13 "Who's Who Among American Universities and Colleges" class, which included just 14 UGA students.
The Leverett Excellence Award is presented annually by the Terry Risk Management & Insurance program. Named for E.J. Leverett, the program's founder, the award is given to outstanding graduating seniors on the basis of their grades and service to the school. Terry's Risk Management & Insurance program is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
"We're really proud of Sadio," said men's tennis head coach Manuel Diaz. "This comes as no surprise. Sadio is a young man who exhibits such great qualities. He has a tremendous work ethic, is very conscientious and intelligent, and has success written all over him. He continues to make us proud and this is just a tribute to all of his hard work."
Following his senior season in 2011-12, Doumbia traveled to Oxford in the United Kingdom for a study abroad program with teammate Wil Spencer, where he concurrently completed an internship with the world-renowned Lloyd's of London insurance company. Doumbia will graduate from UGA and Terry College in May with bachelors of business administration degrees in Risk Management & Insurance and Finance, as well as a minor in mathematics.
Doumbia transferred to Georgia after playing two seasons at Auburn Montgomery of the NAIA, and went on to win a total of 91 collegiate matches including a 33-16 record as a senior for the NCAA quarterfinalist Bulldogs. His senior season saw him reach the NCAA singles tournament round of 32 and end with an ITA national singles ranking of No. 36. He earned second team All-SEC honors in each of his two seasons at Georgia.
Academically, Doumbia earned a place on the SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll in 2011 and 2012, and was named a 2012 ITA Scholar-Athlete.

NEW YORK (AP) - This year July Fourth is on a Wednesday, and that has created a dilemma for some folks - how long to go away, if at all.
Anthony Del Gaudio, who's vice president of hotel sales for Loews Hotels, says he isn't seeing the normal July Fourth spike in bookings. He says, "The midweek holiday seems to have travelers confused."
Those who sell vacations have given people more options this year: Tack on Saturday through Tuesday or Thursday through Sunday to the holiday, or just take the entire week off.
But consumers haven't been eager to burn an extra vacation day or two to get the long weekend, or spend the extra money.
AAA projects that 42.3 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home between July 3 and July 8.
Shane Norton of IHS Global Insight, which does research for AAA, says travel from last year "is pretty flat."

BioShock Infinite Review
Infinite praise.
When it comes to story telling, the original BioShock set a new standard for video games to follow. Released back in 2007, BioShock introduced us to the brilliant underwater city of Rapture; a dystopia torn apart by its own creation. The man who envisioned and created Rapture, Andrew Ryan, will forever be remembered as one of the most complex and greatest characters in history.
Glorious visuals, engaging story and incredible gameplay aside, the main reason why BioShock left such a lasting impression was because it felt so fresh and innovative. Rapture was such an amazing and convincing place to be.
Surprisingly, when the inevitable sequel arrived, Irrational Games handed over the mantle to 2K Marin, who seemed to be too scared to make any meaningful changes in fear of spoiling the original. Don't get me wrong, BioShock 2 was a good game, but it never reached the heights – or underground depths – of Irrational's rapturous debut.
Now, though, Irrational Games are firmly back in the hot seat with the story of Booker DeWitt and the city of Columbia in BioShock Infinite. So please, would you kindly read on?
Come Fly With Me
The opening scene is both similar and a stark contrast to the original game. Instead of plummeting down to the depths of the ocean, you are raised above the clouds before setting sight on the floating city of Columbia. The moment is reminiscent of the time when you caught your first glimpse of Rapture; however, the two cities could not be further apart and not just in terms of distance. It was clear Rapture was in ruins; it was clear it had torn itself apart. Columbia's problems, however, are hidden away as the sun bounces of its pristine surface.
Columbia was created to travel the world, spreading the word of America to other countries around the globe. Set primarily in 1912, the period brilliantly personifies the idea of American exceptionalism, which was prominent at the time. Various different themes creep into Infinite's narrative, intertwining to create a compelling story line – one major influence being religion.
The game's main antagonist Zachary Comstock is revered as Columbia's "Prophet" and you will find various things all over the city referring to its deep religious seating. The game's fantastic writing also alludes to various other ideas and theologies, setting it apart from the usual FPS plot of run here, go there, and blow this up. No, BioShock Infinite requires thinking; its plot is brilliantly unique.
BioShock Infinite requires thinking; its plot is brilliantly unique.
You play as Booker DeWitt. Booker's been tasked with finding a young woman named Elizabeth, who has been held captive by Comstock, the leader of the city's ruling class, The Founders. When Booker arrives in Columbia, the city becomes engaged in Civil War between the Founders and another group, the Vox Populi.
The Founders want to keep Columbia purely for American citizens while the Vox Populi, a violent resistance group led by Daisy Fitzroy, are opposed to this. Booker must battle through Columbia, which is tearing itself apart through war in order to reach Elizabeth and take her away from Comstock's reach. There are surprises along the way, with some fantastic and truly memorable moments.
She's Got Character
The BioShock series has a great track record of producing some brilliant characters and Infinite raises that bar just a little higher, the star of the show being Elizabeth. As the game progresses, the chemistry between Booker and Elizabeth is simply infectious; you simply cannot help but fall for them. We're talking Master Chief and Cortana here in terms of partnerships, it really is that good. Elizabeth's story is tragic and as she and Booker share this experience, the synergy between the two is palpable.
Comstock serves as the game's main antagonist and it's pretty clear why. He's the man who locked the princess in the tower, kept Elizabeth imprisoned; it's only fitting that he's the man who's a thorn in your side from the off. Comstock's views serve him well as the "bad guy" too. He shows he has a xenophobic streak when he decides that Columbia should be solely for America citizens, he also has no qualms about allowing the working class to be exploited by those higher up, such as weapons manufacturer, Jeremiah Fink. Add to that he's a religious psychopath and its pretty clear he's a dangerous man. Although brilliantly complex as Comstock is, he doesn't quite have the same intrigue and just sheer brilliance to match Andrew Ryan, in fact, no character in Infinite quite reaches that level.
The Power Is In Your Hands
While BioShock's setting may have drastically changed, the gameplay feels reassuringly similar. In your right hand, you hold your weapon, and there's a satisfyingly good deal to choose from. The game's weaponry ranges from a simple pistol to a ferocious chain gun, though one major change to the series introduced in Infinite is that you can now only carry two weapons. Previously, when things got a bit hairy in earlier games, you could simply pull out your RPG and blow away all your enemies; now, however, you have to micromanage your equipment. Although I was slightly pessimistic at first, I personally found the new system to work really well, forcing you to adapt to certain situations depending on the weapons you currently hold, adding a new dimension to the gameplay.
In your left hand are your Vigors, the game's equivalent to plasmids and tonics from the first two games.
In your left hand are your Vigors, the game's equivalent to plasmids and tonics from the first two games. Powered by Salts, The Vigors are picked up throughout the game and can also be upgraded from one of the vending machines dotted around the city. They vary in their ability and while one may be completely useless in one situation, another may prove to be a lifesaver. Environmental factors also come into play when using Vigors; spot a group of enemies standing in a puddle of water and a blast of the "Shock Jockey" will soon dispatch them. The "Undertow" Vigor is also satisfyingly useful at knocking enemies clean off the floating Columbia entirely.
Big Baddies
Heavy Hitters lack that emotion (except maybe the Siren) that made the Big Daddy so appealing.
In terms of enemies, Booker has to deal with a variety of foes. There are Comstock's men, the Vox Populi and the four heavy hitters. The first being the Handyman, and if you're playing on Hard, you best have one of those stress-relieving squeeze balls at the ready. The Handyman is the big brute of the heavy hitters, if he connects with one of his charges, he'll deliver some serious damage. Then there's the Motorised Patriots, a huge adversary who carry a vicious chain gun, whilst also wearing a mask of the first President of the United States, George Washington. These are vulnerable from behind so you have to find a way to sneak around to take them out effectively. Thirdly are the Boys of Silence, who will call in back up if they catch the slightest glimpse of you. And last, but by no means least, of the heavy hitters is the Siren, a mysterious, enshrouded female figure who can raise the dead to aid her.
Although equally formidable, none of the Heavy Hitters quite match that level of awe and intrigue that came with a fight with a Big Daddy in Rapture. Seemingly just killing machines, the Heavy Hitters lack that emotion (except maybe the Siren) that made the Big Daddy so appealing.
Skyline Transport
Booker can also ride the skyline system in Columbia, which is similar to that seen in the Ratchet & Clank games. Resembling something like a rollercoaster, Booker can hook onto the skyline in order to make a quick escape out of a sticky situation or simply reach a different part of the battlefield to bring the fight from a different angle.
Booker's companion Elizabeth is also invaluable when it comes to combat. She doesn't need protecting, so there's no tedious need to do so when a fight arises, but she will scour for ammo, health and salts and will pass them along when found. She will also open "tears", which will help you defeat enemies. These tears will consist of different weapons: freight hooks or automated gun machines. When all these different factors come together, the result is a delightfully varied game. Each situation can be tackled in numerous ways and you'll find yourself relishing the various options available to you; honestly, no fight ever feels the same.
Infinite Possiblities
To describe Infinite as an "on-the-rails shooter" would be insulting, the game is paced beautifully allowing you to explore Columbia at your pace while also getting the blood pumping when required. The AI in Infinite complements this feeling, as they're impressively clever and will try to flank you at every opportunity. You may come across the odd weird glitch, but mostly the AI works very well.
Visually, the game is brilliant. Columbia looks fantastic as it gleams in the sunlight and is stunning contrast to the watery Rapture. While Columbia may not have the same on-edge atmosphere of the unforgettable underwater city, it's use of vivid imagery and the way the city has been crafted means that Columbia has managed to carve out it's very own identity. The environments are wonderfully varied and detailed and as you journey through Columbia's mean streets, you'll catch yourself simply gazing out and enjoying the view the city has to offer. It really is a stunning achievement.
A review copy of BioShock Infinite was provided courtesy of 2K Games. The game was reviewed on Xbox 360.
Take Flight
Simply put, BioShock Infinite is a masterpiece. The story is one of the greatest to be told through our favourite medium, both touching and thought provoking throughout. Columbia is a wonderful and interesting creation that is easily on a par with Rapture, a feat that I personally thought would never be matched. The gameplay is wonderfully varied and thrilling, the different options available to the player and the different ways of tackling certain situations is outstanding. And then there's the characters, Booker DeWitt is an intriguing main character, and between him and lovable Elizabeth they form one of the greatest video game duos in history. Would you kindly pick this one up?

The 'worst' of Claudine and Raymart—now on videoBy Gerry Plaza | omg! Philippines News Blog – Mon, May 7, 2012 10:08 AM PHT
Isn't it ironic?
The very thing that Claudine Barretto and Raymart Santiago said they wanted to prevent from happening did—with far worse results.
On Sunday, May 6, Santiago scuffled and engaged in a fistfight with muckraker Mon Tulfo at the airport to prevent the latter from using his camera phone to record an incensed Barretto berating an airline ground crew over missing luggage. The couple had just flown in from Boracay and Barretto had been informed that her luggage had been left behind.
Raymart had wanted to confiscate the phone from Tulfo and prevent whatever was taken from being viewed by the public.
But now, uglier images of them have emerged.
On YouTube, no less.
'Vicious headlock'
The actual video of the incident was uploaded to YouTube at exactly midnight of May 7, twelve hours since the incident occurred at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Pasay City. The 59-second clip showed how punches were thrown with a hapless Tulfo trapped in a vicious headlock by someone who looked like Santiago as a few others, including Barretto, punched the journalist left and right.
Before the end of the video, it showed the couple teaming up to manhandle Tulfo in their attempt to take his camera away as the NAIA-3 guards pulled them off Tulfo, who had been down on the floor.
Tulfo then stood up, fixed his vest, took his bag then walked away from the scene.
It was not clear who threw the first punch, but the video only showed how Tulfo and Santiago had already been in a fistfight before a person in a pink shirt entered the fray and punched Tulfo, who also countered with his own that made the unidentified man fall to the floor.
More than 280,000 views
This was the time Santiago caught Tulfo from behind in a headlock as other people rushed in to gang up on the newspaper columnist, who had tried to break free and fight back with a kick landing on Barretto's leg.
While the video did not show the entire incident—such as the exchange between Santiago and Tulfo before the fistfight that led to what Barretto claimed was Tulfo first lunging at Santiago—it was apparent that the couple was so far from being the aggrieved party.
With the video now going the rounds of social media with more than 280,000 shares on YouTube seven hours after it was uploaded, it now appears that the public has seen the worst of the couple.

the brunch is a really good deal IF you want to get drunk cheaply, but if you're not there for the unlimited drinks, the food is truly subpar.
Posted by Anonymous on 02/20/2011
I've been here 2 times for brunch. The wait staff is fun and friendly. And for $18 and unlimited drinks you can't go wrong. Each time I went with a large party and the wait staff was quick and kept the drinks coming. We even received a couple of shots on the house! I'll def be back for more! The steak sandwich gets 2 thumbs up from me!
Posted by Rifkin on 11/23/2010
My girlfriend and I have been here 4 times and love it every time. The steak diane is great, the pot stickers are good and the drinks are out of this world. At $20 for an open bar you can start when you want this place is an all around win win. Pros: Service, food, cocktails Cons: I don't know any
Posted by UWS'er on 07/09/2010
I like having the Sunburnt Calf where it is. The bar is a nice addition, and their brunch is a no-brainer. I was there for dinner a few days ago, and ordered a stew that the server claimed was one of their best dishes on the menu. Well, if that was their best, I was very far from impressed. Edible? Yes, but so is Chef Boyardee. My dinner companion's meal was about the same as mine. Fun environment. Mediocre palate.
Posted by Baylyn on 06/24/2010
The service will keep you coming back. The food was quite impressive, but they have got to get rid of at least three of their TV sets at the bar.
Posted by Caroline on 06/10/2010
Went there for dinner...had the tuna tartar, shrimp on the barbie, and pork loin. the food was all very good and not too expensively priced. the dessert was also great. the waiters kept the free drinks coming! only complaint was that sometimes waitstaff let us sit for a while without service, but it was okay because everything else was so good
Posted by Brisbanians on 05/29/2010
Good food, great drinks and really top service. Having been living in NY for 2 years it was cool to be able to meet a couple of fellow Queenslanders. Really great staff, nice casual atmosphere, and good food/bev. Keep it up guys, we'll be back! Cheers!

Temporary Changes in IRIS -
Search-Only, Aug. 15-22nd, 2002; Unavailable Thur. morn., Aug. 15th and Fri. morn. Aug 23rd
While the Libraries perform annual maintenance on the IRIS database files and implement a new self-service hold feature, IRIS will be available in a static, search-only version August 15-22. Users will still be able to search as usual, link to electronic resources, look up reserve items, and checkout circulating materials.
Some features, such as online Interlibrary Loan and the Rutgers Request Service (RRS) will not be available. RRS requests for delivery of items from among the three main Rutgers campuses and the Annex may be submitted on site at any Rutgers library using paper forms available at the circulation desk. Paper forms will also be available for interlibrary loan requests.
During this period users will be able to search and display information in their "self services" accounts but will not be able to renew their checkouts or change their PIN numbers. Items checked out between August 15 - 22 will not appear in users "self services" accounts. Users can learn their existing barcode and PIN by calling or visiting the circulation desk of any Rutgers library or by sending email to our Ask A Librarian service, which is accessible from the frontpage of the Libraries website.
Library Systems will install the static, search-only system of IRIS between 10:15 p.m., August 14 through 12:00 p.m., August 15th. As a result, there will be no access to IRIS during this period. Systems expects to return IRIS to full service by Friday, August 23.
Library Systems will need about four hours to reconfigure IRIS back to full service on Friday, August 23. If all goes as planned, IRIS will be down from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on that day as well to accommodate the tasks associated with the reconfiguration.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this present to our users.

Midori Flash Cards Review & Giveaway!
A couple of years ago I wrote about some of the necessities of a homeschooling mom which weren't necessarily absolutes for everyone, but definitely deal breakers for me – except for the monkey (kind of).
Since then I started gathering items I like to think of as "necessities for the homeschooling student."
Mind you when I use the word "necessities" what I really mean is things that make some of the rote learning experiences more palatable, playful and aesthetically appealing for kids, but the word "necessities" seems so much more concise so I'm sticking with it.
The Midori Flash Cards at Tokyo Pen Shop are the newest addition to our growing list of "necessities".
Who can resist mini mushrooms?
Don't worry, if you have super-anti-fungi-strength and can resist the mushrooms there are 11 other shapes available.
The Midori Flash Cards range in size (the polar bear is bigger than the mushroom…duh), but each comes with 80 sheets and secured with a hinged metal ring.
Other than the fact that they are adorable, they are also SMART and this is why:
1. They are HINGED which means the cards can be rearranged.
This is important if the flash cards are used for drilling/memorizing rote facts. Point of interest: My freshman year of college I learned that students can be very inefficient, e.g., studying what they know as opposed to what they don't know because it is easier and more comfortable.
With this little bit of research tucked into my brain all these years I taught my kids to move the flash card facts they know to the back of the pile, leaving those they have yet to master in front.
The hinge on these flash card sets lets kids open and rearrange the cards as they progress in their learning. And since we don't discard the cards, we can just tuck them away for the next child following the same course of study.
2. Sharpies don't bleed through.
I prefer to use Sharpies when making flash cards. The paper on the Midori Flash Cards is thinner than an index card, but can handle a Sharpie without the ink bleeding through to the other side.
3. Mini cards travel easier.
Learning on the go is important for our family, but especially when it comes to drilling facts that just need repetition to seal into the brain. The size of these mini cards means they fit easily into a purse (heck, even in to some wallets), tote, console, glove box, t-shirt or pants pocket, etc…
Don't even act like that isn't important. Okay, YOU can act like that isn't important, but my kids tend to enjoy things they find to be fun – even if it just looks like fun. If I can play into the mind game a bit by buying inexpensive and cute little flash cards I'm all over it.
5. They are affordable.
At $3.60 a set, they don't bust my budget. Plus, when I place orders at Tokyo Pen Shop I always make sure to hit $25 so I can get FREE SHIPPING. Admittedly, this isn't hard…especially now that they are carrying a new favorite pen (Hi Tec C .3 mm).
OH MY THIS PEN IS AMAZING if you like to write really small and precise…but back to the cards.
I am the first to say it is easy to buy a $2.00 pack of 300 blank white index cards, cut them in half and make your own mini cards. I GET IT…affordable and easy.
But if you want unique animal-shaped mini cards with hinged rings that will delight your children, then YOU NEED (*ahem* want) these Midori Flash Cards.
And no, I didn't get paid to write that.
I'm not even an affiliate.
I've just been a fan of Tokyo Pen Shop for a few years now and thought you might too.
Oh, and I had a chance to meet Kimberly, one of the owners, recently…she's as adorable and mini as her mini-cards. HI KIMBERLY! On her site she attributes the Midori Flash Cards as "key to [her] kanji study and subsequent vocabulary study for the GRE."
I figure they would be good for any rote memorization, language or standardized testing preparation. I'm also thinking of how I could use them to help me remember names better (e.g., Front of card: "Becky". Back of card: "Sandy blonde hair with vibrant blue eyes, talks with her hands, likes slapstick movies."). See? It totally would work.
If this review of Midori Flash Cards has you scrolling through the different animal choices available you are in luck! Tokyo Pen Shop is sponsoring a giveaway of five (5) Midori Flash cards to one (1) lucky winner!!

Jeanne from Ohio On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:24 am
I will use them for my Grandson Luke who is going into Kindergarten (flash cards for addition, subtraction, spelling etc)
G Bailey On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:25 am
my daughter is homeschooling her pre-K and K children–these would be great for drilling sight words and beginning math
rebekah On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:27 am
my soon to be kindergarders will love them for sight words vocabulary and my daughter just started piano lessons and needs to practice theory great idea!
Connie On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:28 am
Mathematical vocabulary. I can draw pictures of triangles, parallel lines, or exponential equation and have the kids identify the figure or give the equation. They could be used for learning formulas for area, volume, surface area, trigonometry, statistics, parent functions, distance, derivative rules etc..
Tami On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:31 am
They would be great to use for Memory verses.
Nicki p On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:33 am
Sight words and easy math problems would be so much fun on these.
sclark On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:35 am
What fun . . . math facts, Bible verses/references, countries/capitals, elements/symbols, literature works/authors, whatever the kids think of, etc., etc.
A suggestion for flashcards – let a younger child test older an child on multiplication facts. It's great that the younger child is helping the older sibling for a change, and the younger child begins to memorize multiplication tables. Just as long as they can read the numbers, they are good to go!
linda in WI On Thursday, July 12 at 9:51 am
I think we'd use them for our Spanish vocabulary. Math problems, too. They are so cute!!
Christine On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:35 am
I teach Kindergarten, so the possibilities are endless! One idea would be to use them to focus on the initial sound of words.
Erin P. On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:39 am
I will definitely use them to drill simple math facts – we need work on those!
kathy denson On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:42 am
I will use them to make flash cards for my four grandchildren. My daughter homeschools them and
I plan on helping out by making some study aides.
Zendra On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:45 am
My daughters can use them for their latin declensions.
Nan On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:47 am
I'll use them to learn the people in my new congregation (I'm a minister) and to help our chicklets learn Bible verses.
Pam B On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:48 am
SAT vocabulary…..even big kids love cool office supplies!
TheresaMomto6 On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:50 am
Super cute! For Allyson I would put math problems on them. This is where she needs help and the strawberry and ladybug ones might just get her motivated. For Tyler it would be his vocabulary words and I think he'd like the polar bear and dog. Haley would want one of each for just about anything she could think of to use them on. LOL! For Bradley- most likely some addition/subtraction and sight words. Monkey Man (aka Kyle) and Baby Girl (aka Lacey) would probably spend their time coloring in them. Which for Monkey would be a step in the right direction because every time I turn around he has drawn an ironman "circle" on his chest and declares himself to be Ironman.
P.S. mom wants a strawberry, heart, and bird one for herself
Leslie On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:51 am
I'd use them for drilling math facts and sight words.
Carey On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:55 am
I would use them for my twin 5 year old girls who are entering Kindergarten in the Fall and need to learn sight words, and easy multiplication. How cute are these?
Southern Gal On Wednesday, July 11 at 5:59 am
Of course, math facts would be the first thing I'd use them for. Spelling rules would be useful around here. I have English From the Roots Up with their flashcards, but these would make it so much more interesting. Thanks for the chance.
Katie On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:02 am
Love these cute little cards!! I would use them with my elementary aged kiddos for math, obviously. they are precious!
Michelle On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:03 am
I would likely use them for our Apologia science vocabulary words and definitions if they were big enough.
DangitAnge On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:03 am
Math facts. Important dates in history. Lots of things!
Arilla On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:06 am
My little boy is only 16 months but I can think of so many things to use them for – alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes. They are so cute and I think would hold his attention longer than just a plain card. Thanks for sharing these with us!
Lisa DeCourcey On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:08 am
These would be great for sight words, math facts, science vocabulary, and history dates. So cute!
Liz On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:09 am
When my sons were small, we made "rhyming words" books when they were early readers. I think these would work well with this concept for my 5 year old grandson as he begins to read.
Sarah Parker On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:11 am
These are so cute and fun. With 2 toddlers I would use them for shapes and letters and numbers. The kiddos would love them!
April L On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:11 am
Oh my goodness! These are adorable! My daughter is working her way through multiplication tables right now. I know that these note cards would definitely add some fun into that process!
Kimberly H On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:11 am
I love these ! I would use them for math facts and sight words.
Glenna On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:12 am
I would use these for SAT vocabulary building as well as for my daughters Spanish lessons. These are great!
Linda S. On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:13 am
These are so adorable, would be fun to use when grands are visiting! Math, spelling, shapes, colors, they are very useful.
Alicia On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:14 am
I would love to use them for sight words for my son who is going into 1st grade, and for the alphabet for my other son who is going into pre-k.
Beccalou On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:15 am
For my daughter, who will be starting Kindergarten in a month (yikes!), I would use them for reading, math and some scripture memorization. What a fun, simple idea to make learning more fun!
Karen L On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:16 am
I would love to use them for my three year old niece to learn the alphabet, then simple two and three letter words. They are so cute!!
Deb On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:16 am
These are so adorable! They would be great for sight words or math skills. They are SO portable and can be tucked into a pocket or backpack to easy use! Love the flexibility of usage for these fun flash cards!
Deb On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:16 am
I can see many uses. Sight word review, addition, subtraction, multiplication drills, beginning short vowel and long vowel words, foreign language on one side English on another. For a small child, shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. I am thinking for a HS mom, attach to purse and use as a mini notepad for those times when out and needing to remember dates for play dates, appointments, etc.
Annie B. On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:17 am
My son hates his Latin review, but I can totally see him flipping out over these cards. One set for vebs, one set for nouns, one set for everything else. Vocavulary review would be so much easier, and he could possibly use them as well to work on sentence structures, moving and replacing cards as necessary. Awesome!
Karen W On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:20 am
Math and Vocab…maybe some History facts??
s On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:23 am
Would love for my public school middle schooled -we use cards for science all the time!
Barbara Lynn On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:24 am
Sight words and early math.
JesR On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:26 am
Just in time for me to begin my French studies! Europe, here I come!
Brendag On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:26 am
I think these flash cards would benefit my grandson. He is so bored with school his concentration level is 0. These are bright, eye catching cards that I believe will benefit him and his lack of interest.
Thanks for offering this giveaway!!
Charon Benton On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:28 am
Oh my! I'm in LOVE with these flashcards! My third grader needs to memorize times tables……LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
julie On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:29 am
I would use these for math facts as well as vocab. word work. Very cute!!!!
ANGELA SMALL On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:30 am
Simple math problems for 5 year old
Sheri On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:31 am
Hmmm. I'm picturing the list of before school chores that need to be done. Somehow even though they do the same chores every morning, at least 1 child has a memory lapse. After those could come the school facts to drill.
Pat in Indy On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:32 am
I will stock up on these (or win some?) to use when my future grandkids come on the scene!
Lu On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:32 am
I would use them in the car. Love them!
Lisa De On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:34 am
I am a kindergarten teacher so I would fill them with high frequency words. My daughters would use them for Spanish vocabulary. Really cute!
Stephanie-Oh On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:34 am
These cute flashcards sound like something my grandchildren would love. My oldest granddaughter loves using flashcards for her vocabulary words.
Kathy On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:34 am
With my older two, these would be great for Vocabulary words. My youngest can use them for math facts now and vocab later.
Brenda On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:35 am
Right now I have the boring, cut in half, note cards to practice addition and multiplication in our house. I already know that for my girls, the fun shapes would be just the enticement they need to want to practice more. And I've been meaning to make some flash cards for musical notes for my youngest who is just beginning piano. These would be perfect.
Heather S. On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:36 am
When I was in school, I was the flashcard queen. Everything went on a flashcard. Vocabulary, math problems, Spanish words, history dates. You name it. What would I use these for in my homeschool? The question is what *wouldn't* I use these for in my homeschool?
Jessica H. On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:36 am
to practice state/country capitals with my niece
Shelly On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:37 am
I LOVE THESE!!! I am a Head Start teacher (for 3-5 year olds) and can think of many uses for these…but since prosocial skills are of utmost importance to teach immediately, I would use them to teach our classroom rules, as well as teaching "rules" like, "What should you do if you want the toy your friend is playing with?" and "If someone gives you something, what should you say to them?", etc. The children will learn faster with presenting the information in such a fun, cute way. I am anxious to check out this website and will pass it on to fellow teachers and parents. Thanks so much!!!
Amanda On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:38 am
I would use these for French vocabulary drills — in my "old" age I'm still trying to learn!
J. Davis On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:38 am
Greek & Latin roots for my middle schooler; vocabulary and formulas for my high schoolers.
Brittany Thomas On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:38 am
I would LOVE to use them for my daughter (states and capitals) and my oldest son (ABC's). They would get such a kick out of them!!
DianeS On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:39 am
How fun! My first graders could use them for their math facts, sight words, Spanish words, french words, phonemes for our spelling program…
Cheryl On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:40 am
I'd help my son study his math facts.
Melanie On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:40 am
Math facts for my soon to be third grader!
Beth C On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:40 am
Oh, my nephew would love the shapes and colors! My sister is determined to homeschool and he needs help with his reading – big time! I could see using these cute cards for math problems, word identification, spelling – all kinds of things.
Maybe I will have to check out the website for myself and look into getting that pen you spoke about!
Ami On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:42 am
Super cute flash-cards! I would use them for sight words for my kindergartener and for anatomy vocabulary for my older children.
Susan On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:42 am
definitely Spanish. My boys are taking a Spanish II class in co-op and the flash cards are a necessity for learning.
kara On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:42 am
My 6-year-old is reading like crazy, but having trouble with her numbers. I'm thinking we could write double digit numbers on the cards and have her verbalize them. (They are so stinkin' cute!)
Bethany On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:43 am
These would be perfect for math fact memorization in our homeschool!
Cristina On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:45 am
I will give the flash cards to my husband, who is trying to learn Romanian!
Suzie On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:47 am
These are adorable! I would use them for lots of things, but phonics special sounds for my first grader comes to mind first!
Kim Mahan On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:47 am
I would use them for my grandchildren, sight words and beginning math. This is going to be fun!
Momma Mac On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:48 am
Hmm…math facts, foreign language, vocabulary words, Bible verses, & even extended family members and their birthdays!
MeganP On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:49 am
Oh my, I have so many ideas! I have a 1st grader, a Kindergartener and a preschooler. I am thinking sight words, letters (capital and lowercase), simple math equations, etc. I'm a sucker for flash card and those are so cute!
Lisa Logan On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:50 am
Well, I don't home school but my daughter is entering the 9th grade this August. I am sure that she will find a great use for them as a study tool, especially in Algebra. This is a subject that stumps her
Elizabeth On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:50 am
Sight words! By the time my students arrive, they usually just need a quick sight word assessment, which is SO boring if they already know their sight words. These would make it fun if you know your sight words or not!
joanie On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:50 am
very cute, I think I would use them forr bible verses, sight words, history names and places, and I might even let my daughter use it for a on the go sketch book.
Janell On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:50 am
These are sooooo cute! We love flashcards at our house! I see latin and spanish and math facts and then for fun some trivia…. I like the idea of daily chores too!
Jennifer Nash On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:51 am
My daughter struggles with math so I will be using these to help her learn her math facts.
Modern Mia Gardening On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:52 am
I'd use them for math and spelling with my kids. With 4 (the oldest in 1st grade), we'd use these for a long time. Thanks for the tips!
Karen D. On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:53 am
Oh the possibilities! Math facts, prefixes, suffixes, greek and latin roots, dolch lists, so many things…
Stephanie On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:55 am
My kids would use these for Latin vocabulary, multiplication tables, and history dates. LOVE IT!! We have used index cards, but they are always getting lost.
Season On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:56 am
Forget the kids! I will be using these for myself, I am in my last year of nursing school and these would be great for memorizing medications, sign/symptoms all kinds of things. Plain ol' index cards are so boring. And I might use them for the kids too.
jules On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:57 am
These will be perfect to keep up with our many website passwords!
Pat On Wednesday, July 11 at 8:22 am
I LOVE this idea!!! Thank you!!!
Lori L (she treads softly) On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:58 am
My kids have graduated from my homeschool (and college) but I'm back working in the public schools and I would use these for math facts and sight words!
Linda from NJ On Wednesday, July 11 at 6:58 am
My niece would love these!
desertscaper On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:00 am
Picture symbols for my students with autism.
farmwifetwo On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:28 am
Do you have Boardmaker or Writing with Symbol's? We have WwS (school has both) and my youngest (Gr 6) loves the "read back" feature. Been a huge boost to his independant writing. His independant stuff is whatever floats in his head and is "echolalic", but we also do writing practice. I enjoy his logos, lists of addresses and writings about his wall tracks etc b/c I know he wrote it without any support or me here in the office at all. Also, the "read back" feature tells him the word isn't spelt correctly and he'll ask "spell please" and he's usually pretty close to being right in his initial guesses.
Amber On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:00 am
We're reading with my 5 and 4 year olds and these would be great for the letter sounds and sight words, etc. Plus the beginnings of math memorization are right on our heels…
Jenn On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:01 am
oh these are so cute. one thing we are working on with my son is ABCs capital and lower case and recognition. these would be great and then i could use them for my daughter when it's time for her to learn them.
Kathleen On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:02 am
They would work great for my photography class.
Lindsey On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:03 am
My daughter is currently working on addition and subtraction these would be fantastic!
Judy On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:03 am
I see using them with Bible verses, vocabulary, science, history, etc. The possibilities are endless!
AmyB On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:04 am
These would be great for us for math facts or sight words!
Donna Marchlewski On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:04 am
I will make love notes for my little grandchildren!
Kristy On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:04 am
We're starting Latin this year, so I think we would use them for vocab.
kimba On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:04 am
Everything! I think the novelty of using cute little flash cards would re-ignite the desire to practice math fact, the 10 Commandments, or anything else they need to study.
Lou On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:05 am
I would use them for language study and anatomy.
Laura On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:06 am
Spanish irregular verbs! They are cute cards and would be put to good use. Thanks!
Jennifer On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:07 am
My daughter is starting French this year. They would be perfect to keep her excited. Thinking if she makes the card she'll get some learning in then too.
Rikki On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:08 am
I would use them for math facts and use one for fun, random trivia kind of stuff.
Sara Z. On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:08 am
We don't homeschool but I love working with my rising 1st grader on spelling, vocab, addition, subtraction facts and this is an amazingly cute way to do it!
Nurse Jane On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:09 am
I love them for math facts…..even though my son is going into sixth grade, i think we would both enjoy them.
Jane On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:10 am
Math facts, SAT word lists, Music term drilling
donna s. On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:11 am
I would use them for my young grandkids – colors, shapes, alphabet. They would enjoy the mini shapes and not realize they are learning!
Meggan D. On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:11 am
Math facts for sure. My second-grader-to-be will love these!!
Missy On Wednesday, July 11 at 7:12 am
These would be great for my first grader who has a visual processing problem and can't read things horizontally. For now, everything is learned in flashcard style. She would love cute flashcards!

It was supposedly 105 at Disneyland yesterday and its forecast to be 107 today!
So I was wondering if anyone at the Park Officially kept track of this and if so, indeed what is the record?, and was it broken yesterday and will it be broken today if it hits 107?
I was going to go last night to see the new Halloweentime and HMH stuff but way too hot for someone with MS!

The Flying Dutchman (Der fliegende Holländer) is an opera, with music and libretto by Richard Wagner.
Wagner claimed in his 1870 autobiography Mein Leben that he had been inspired to write The Flying Dutchman following a stormy sea crossing he made from Riga to London in July and August
1839. In his 1843 Autobiographical Sketch Wagner acknowledged he had taken the story from Heinrch Heine's retelling of
the legend in his 1833 satirical novel The Memoirs of Mister von Schnabelewopski (Aus den Memoiren des Herrn von Schnabelewopski).
The central theme is redemption through love.
Wagner conducted the premiere at the Semper Oper in Dresden in 1843. This work
shows early attempts at operatic styles that would characterise his later music
dramas. In Der fliegende Holländer Wagner uses a number of leitmotifs (literally, "leading motifs") associated
with the characters and themes. The leitmotifs are all introduced in the overture,
which begins with a well-known ocean or storm motif before moving into the Dutchman
and Senta motifs.
Where: San Carlo Opera House

Insomniac ElfApril 2nd, 2009
Posted By: James Kochalka
So, you might remember that last week, while sick with a fever, I invented & played a videogame in my dreams. Well, yesterday, a fan sent me a working version of the game from my dream, absolutely blowing my mind. There's no sound in the game (but there wasn't an sound in my dream either). You control "me"… which, as in my dream, is a variation on Link from The Legend of Zelda. While adventuring, members of my family can join the team… there's my wife Amy, my 5 year old son Eli and my 1 year old son Oliver. It's amazing.
You can download the actual game here. This is a pretty crazy feedback circle: I dreamed the video game, I drew a comic about the dream, a guy made the game based on my dream, and then I drew a comic about the game.
It only works on PC. I have a mac though, and I was really desperate to try it. I found that I could run it on my mac using a program called Crossover, for which I downloaded a free demo. It works great.
