Precision Grade Aspheric Lenses Traditionally lens surfaces have been sections of a sphere. For many applications this leaves spherical aberration as the dominant defect of any image so created. Aspheric lenses are used to correct these image defects. One solution to this is to have one or both surfaces, departing from the spherical shape. Aspheric Lenses can be very effective, focussing or collimating laser beams. Aspheric lenses are polished to a good surface finish but the surface...

Rempt, Rodney P., Naval War College Review
A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimension.
-Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE concisely the mission of institutions like the Naval War College, but if one were called upon to do so in three words or less, it would be to create new ideas. New ideas are incredibly powerful, and for this reason they are frequently viewed with skepticism and wariness. An old adage says that the only thing more difficult than getting a new idea into a mind is getting an old one out!
New ideas can arise from many sources, and they can be driven by everything from desperation to quiet contemplation. It can be argued, however, that the best ideas are born from study, reflection, and careful analysis of options-plus passion and drive. It is this process that we seek to nurture at the Naval War College.
The Newport complex, which includes the Naval War College, the Navy Warfare Development Command, and the CNO's Strategic Studies Group, serves as fertile ground for creativity. This process is facilitated by:
* Faculty, student, and staff research and experimentation activities that are conducted in a free and risk-accepting atmosphere.
* The study of current global security events within the context of relevant historical precedents and classical principles of war.
* Mentorship from a world-class faculty that includes proven scholars/ educators and experienced military operators.
* Close and frequent interaction and seminar discussions among students from all military services and key civilian agencies within the national security arena.
* The opportunity to understand better, learn alongside, and socialize with top-quality military officers from more than sixty different nations.
* Sharing ideas with visiting lecturers ranging from service chiefs and combatant commanders to world-renowned authors, statesmen, and jurists.
* Having the luxury to step back from operational demands for a year to concentrate exclusively on professional development and intellectual growth.
* Taking advantage of superb academic resources such as the Eccles Library, extensive historical archives, and an informative museum and naval curator.
* Participating in sophisticated war games and crisis exercises with joint and fleet staffs, and with senior federal, state, and local government officials.
* Seeing concepts developed, gamed, tested in fleet experiments, and introduced to the theater of war with great effect.
* Working and studying in a unique collegial atmosphere where new ideas are welcomed and new perspectives are encouraged.
The Naval War College serves the nation by providing graduate and professional maritime and joint military education, advanced research and study, gaming, and public outreach programs, to:
* Educate future leaders
* Prepare U.S. and international military officers and civilians to meet national security challenges as senior leaders in naval, joint, interagency, and multinational arenas.
* Enable students to develop and execute the national military strategy and conduct maritime and joint operations applying sound strategic and operational art. …

This study is part of the American National Election Study (ANES), a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1952. The American National Election Studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political predispositions, social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public policy, and participation in political life. The 2008 ANES data consists of a time series study conducted both before and after the 2008 presidential election in the United States. It entailed both a pre-election interview and a post-election re-interview. A freshly drawn cross section of the electorate was taken, yielding 1,212 cases. Like its predecessors, the 2008 ANES was divided between questions necessary for tracking long-term trends and questions necessary to understand the particular political moment of 2008. The study maintains and extends the ANES time-series 'core' by collecting data on Americans' basic political beliefs, allegiances, and behaviors: aspects of political belief and action so basic to the understanding of politics that they are monitored at every election, no matter the nature of the specific campaign or the broader setting. The study also carried topical and study-specific instrumentation. Questions covering issues prominent in 2008 addressed job outsourcing, private investment of Social Security funds, and President Bush's tax cut. Americans' views on foreign policy, the war on terrorism, and the Iraq War and its consequences were also addressed. In addition, the study carried expanded instrumentation on inflation, immigration, gender politics, and gay and lesbian politics. It also extended the experiment on the measurement of voter turnout that began in 2002. Demographic variables include respondent age, education level, political affiliation, race/ethnicity, marital status, and family composition.
Additional information about the ANES time series collection can be found on the
Unlike oversamples present in previous ANES Time Series studies (1964, 1968, and 1970), the oversamples in the ANES 2008 Time Series Study are integral to the cross-section, which can only be represented with the use of the sample weights provided in the dataset. The inclusion of the "oversample" cases when representing the 2008 Time Series cross-section provides improved estimates for the Latino and African American populations of eligible voters.
There are two sets of sample weights. The first set of weights is centered at a mean of 1.0; these are variable V080101 (pre-election) and V080102 (Post-election). The second set of weights represent population V080101a (pre-election) and V080102 (Post-election). The pre-election sample weights are the product of the household non-response adjustment factor by age and education. The post-election sample weights are adjusted for attrition.
Note: The household weight (V080103) used in creation of the sample weight is also available. Additional information on the construction of the ANES 2008 Time Series weight variables will become available later this year.
Analyses intended to generalize to the target population should be weighted. The unweighted data are not representative of the target population, so unweighted estimates of population percentages and means are wrong. Also, due to the complex sample design of the ANES, sampling errors and related statistics (including confidence intervals, p-values, t-tests, and all other tests of statistical significance) should not be calculated using methods intended for simple random samples.

John Munno shares love for the beauty of New England through his greeting cards
John's Munno's photography is about helping heal the human spirit and kindle an appreciation for Nature and the Natural Elements that help heal and are vital to our existence on this planet. We are not separate from Nature.
His message can be stated simply. "What we do to the Earth, We do to ourselves"
With this intention he created his 50-card line up of Greeting Cards of Connecticut and New England. "There is beauty all around us" He states, "We pass it every day with every step with every mile we drive in our cars. My card's message is to call us to stop, to slow down, to look around and to appreciate." Most of the images are taken in around his Southbury Connecticut home, featuring the farms, woodlands, lakes, streams and waterfalls of the Connecticut Hills as well as seascapes from Acadia National Park.
Each card is a work of art that you will fall in love with. They are 5" X 7". The insides are left blank to write your personal message to friends, family and loved ones. These distinctive and exquisite, quality photo cards can be given as a special gift or can be treasured by you as a framed piece of fine art. Let these creative works of art brighten someone's day or use them to add warmth and beauty to your home and heart.
John's love for photography started in his teens with his father's gift of a Zeiss Ikon 35 mm camera that belong to John's Grandfather. That camera accompanied John on every backpack trip to the Catskills, Adirondack Mountains. and Berkshires of his East Coast home. John studied photography through the New York Institute of Photography and is versed in many aspects of photography including architecture and interiors and portraits.
John's love for nature and people comes through in his photos and it as been said "his photos, inspire, delight, uplift and gently open peoples hearts which makes them endearing." John has been described "as having a heart that sees with beautiful eyes." He brings a beauty, clarity and purity to his photographic work.
To view John's Cards visit his website www.johnmunnophotography.com. You can follow the link under store to greeting cards to view his collection http://www.johnmunnophotography.com/connecticut_greeting_cards
In addition to his greeting card collection, John produces a "Connecticut Landscapes Calendar" taking your month by month through the changing seasons of New England. He produced a beautiful DVD, Nature Speaks filled with images of John's travels around the world and prose next to each image. Canvas Wraps and Prints are also available through his website to beautify your home or office and bring the healing elements of Nature to your sacred spaces.
Delicate Balance
A tiny flying insect that I called a "fairy-fly" landing on the flowering Nandina, aka Heavenly Bamboo, inspired me to do a quick photo shoot on my lunch hour last week.
"No matter the time you live, no matter who, or what you are, every one and every thing is in delicate balance." Should I add typography to this image? What words? Different words? The jury is out. What do you think?

Try a #10 Greeting Card for Panorama Images
Wondering what to do with your auto-stitched and panorama photos? Bookmarks aren't the only game in town. Long rectangles, either vertical or horizontal, transform into attractive greeting cards when presented on a #10 business sized greeting card. That's what Angela Sharkey, former Featured Artist, did recently with some of her latest paintings. Rather than try to make the oblong shapes work on an A7, A6, or A2, more traditional greeting card shapes, Sharkey opted for the less commonly used #10 size.
To set up your card in a Photoshop or other raster-oriented software, create a new document that is 10 inches wide by 8.75 inches in height. A document this size will accommodate the trim marks needed to accurately cut the card to size. If you want your image to bleed; that is, print all the way to the trimmed edge, it is important to extend your image beyond the trim marks by .125-inch. The bleed setting is represented here by the red line. The actual card trims to 9.25-inches wide by 8-inches in height. The trim is represented by the black line. A #10 card folds at the halfway, or 4-inch mark, represented here by the cyan (blue) line. All of these lines (including the black trim marks that fall at the four corners of the black trim line) are non-printing and part of the template. Simply redraw onto a printing layer the eight trim marks shown at the four corners.
InDesign or Illustrator
If you use Adobe's InDesign or Illustrator, set up a new document that is 9.25 inches wides and 8 inches in height. If your image will bleed, in the document setup options, create a bleed of .125 inch. Once the page is set up, drag a guide from the ruler to the 4-inch mark on the vertical ruler to indicate where the card will fold. To print, export your file to a print resolution .pdf with crop marks and you're ready to rock 'n' roll.

New Pastel Stretch Loops Complete Spring Note Card Sets
Springtime is just around the corner, and Oak Creek Printworks wants to help you with your holiday packaging by introducing the 10-inch elastic stretch loop in two new spring colors. We've added a matte yellow and a matte lavender to the choices for dressing the A2 size note card box.
Last year, we wanted to encourage our customers to try the metallic blue, purple, and copper, and the matte pink, baby blue, black and white stretch loops, so we gave away one free stretch loop, priced at $.21, with each A2-1/2BOX.
When customers realized there was no cost for the loop if they purchased a box, they began to broaden their choices beyond the typical gold and silver, by far the more popular selling colors.
So this year, when the latest colors, matte lavender and matte yellow, arrived in time for Easter and other spring holidays, we decided to extend the offer of one free stretch loop with any A2 size box, ranging in depth from 1/4-inch up to 2-inches. Just make a separate item purchase for each color stretch loop desired. For example, if you want 100 A2 boxes with four different color loops, place an order for four individual items, 25 boxes for each color desired.
To order these ten-inch stretch loops without the A2 box, (though we don't know why you'd want to) we've provided links below to each of the product pages.
Choose from a wide selection of colors
- Gold
- Silver
- Copper
- Green
- Red
- Blue
- Purple

Annual Christmas Card Challenge
Every year when it comes time to make the holiday card, whether for business or personal, I struggle to come up with fresh ideas that top previous years' efforts. Invariably it's the shoemaker's kid who goes without shoes…that was me growing up as the shoemaker's kid, and it's still me as a designer, generating fresh ideas for clients year after year. No matter how much design and printing styles have morphed over the 17 decades since Christmas cards were first exchanged in London in 1843, much about the sentiments and adornments remain virtually unchanged.
Christmas cards came to Americans in 1874 thanks to Louis Prang, a Boston printer, illustrator, "father of American greeting cards" and namesake of the Louie Awards. Prang first offered Christmas cards as a commercial product in England in 1873. His exquisite chromolithography full color illustrations and printing set the industry standard for mass produced color prints displaying small animals, butterflies and flora among the popular subjects. By the next decade Prang produced designs for greeting cards representing all the major holidays.
Many of the holiday cards from the Victorian era were derived from nature. In addition to a folding greeting card, postcards and bookmarks were popular holiday greeting sizes.
This year's inspiration for my greetings comes, not just in the form a greeting card, but in a practical keepsake that is multi-functional. My obsession with bookmarks stems from the fact that I haven't give up on the printed word yet. I got the Kindle as a gift, and it was a handy gadget to carry around while traveling, provided it had no technical issues. There were issues, and I spent needless vacation hours resolving them, finally exchanging my Kindle for a new one. Since then, we've opted for an iPad, but I don't use either the Kindle or the iPad as a replacement for books or magazine. No thank you, I'll keep my print editions. Magazines just aren't the same on a Kindle.
Nearly every print edition of a book requires a bookmark as a placeholder, and I may be reading or perusing a dozen books at once. Since I know there are many others like myself who find their electronic gadgets otherwise indispensable, but aren't crazy about curling up with their iPad, I figure everyone needs a bookmark. So instead of gift tags, which are typically too small for the names that need to fit onto it, I'm using bookmarks, and I'll be sending them or something akin to them this year.
Oak Creek Printworks can print bookmarks to double-duty as cards or gift tags. Click here to link to Custom Printing. We print in the following formats. Measurements indicate trim size: Gift cards – 3.25 x 2.25 inches, A2 note cards – 4.25 x 5.5 inches, A6 greeting cards – 4.625 x 6.25 inches, A7 greeting cards – 5 x 7 inches.

"Don't forget to lock the doors, _________!" Reminded your boss as he wrapped his coat around his shoulders and opened the door that let to the parking lot.
"I won't! Have a good night, sir!" You hollered back after locking your small locker which contained a few necessary items of yours.
You were a lifeguard at a local outdoor pool, as you may have already guessed, and today was Friday which meant that most people left early to go relax back home or just hang out somewhere else. Your boss had just left which meant that you were the only one remaining at the pool. You would have gladly gone home but since you were the last one to leave you were stuck with cleaning up.
"Ugh, I don't feel like doing this right now..." You complained to yourself as you eyed the locker room, which was a complete mess. Couldn't your fellow lifeguards be a little more organized?
"Maybe I should go check up on the pool first and make sure the gates are locked." You said to yourself as you began to head towards the gigantic pool outside. Once you got there, a big wave of heat washed over you despite the late hour of the evening.
"God, it's hot out here..." You looked around to make sure nobody was watching and slipped your white top off. Besides, you had your swimsuit underneath. No big deal. Anyways, you walked towards the supply room not too far away and grabbed one of those nets that helped get rid of the leaves in the water. As you made your way back towards the edge of the pool, you noticed something different. A pair of shorts lay a few feet away on the ground from where you were currently standing.
"What the?..." Mysterious ripples began to form on the water's surface and you began to wonder what was causing this. You knelt down and approached your face from the blue water to get a better look. And just when you thought you were imagining things...
"SURPRISEEEEE!" Shouted the person that had just randomly popped out of the water.
"EEEEEEEEEEK!" You fell backwards on your butt and dropped your cleaning net. When you looked back up, you noticed one of your friends, who was also a lifeguard, chuckling at your traumatized expression. He was floating on his back in the water, like he didn't have a care in the world.
"Not funny, Makoto." You mumbled while getting back up. He laughed and nodded.
"Oh come on, I was just messing with you!" You grinned but made sure to roll your eyes while you were at it.
"What are you doing here anyways? I thought I was the only one left."
"Well, I just waited in one of the stalls in the guy's bathroom until everybody was gone so I could be alone with you. And besides, I like swimming in the pool when there's nobody around. I find it peaceful." You blushed when he mentioned the being alone with you part.
"Well, guess what, cod fish? It's Friday, I'm tired, I still have the entire pool to clean and I want to go home. So could you please get out and let me do my job?" The brunette frowned at your sour attitude and pouted, knowing you couldn't resist his sad puppy face.
"Forget about work! Come in the pool with me instead! You need to loosen up, __________." You stared at him for a second, thinking about his proposition. Swimming sounded pretty nice right now... Plus, the heat was unbearable.
"C'mon, the water's great! Pleeeaaase?"
"Oh... fine!" You quickly pulled your shorts down and dove into the shallow area of the pool. Makoto watched you dive and admired your amazing form as your body came in contact with the blue water. Could you look more beautiful?
After a couple of seconds, you emerged from the water and inhaled a sudden and large amount of air. With one hand, you pushed your wet hair back and with the other you untied your ponytail, allowing your mane to flow freely.
"You were right, Makoto. The water does feel great." You flashed him a small smile and he quickly returned it. He began to swim his way towards you and only stopped when he was practically right next to you.
"You know, you should let your hair down more often. You look even cuter that way."
"O-Oh... Well, thanks. I guess." You blushed and looked away, unsure of how to respond to that. He chuckled and swam in circles around you, like a shark cornering his prey.
"What? I'm just telling the truth. Although you don't need to let your hair down to be cute. You're always pretty to me."
"What's with all the compliments all of a sudden?" You laughed nervously. Makoto noticed your shy side coming to life and decided to just be direct with you.
"I just thought telling the girl I love how beautiful she was would make her day. I've always thought that, __________. I just haven't said it out loud until now..." You let your hands fall to your side in the water and simply stared at him for a couple of seconds. Makoto bit his lip and looked the other way, feeling as though he had said too much.
"Uh, you know what, we should probably go now... If somebody catches us we might get fired-"
"WAIT NO!" You quickly launched yourself at him, wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him down so your lips could meet.
Makoto jumped at your sudden action, but after he realized what you were doing to him, he relaxed into the kiss and gently brought his hands to your waist to get a better hold of you as you pressed your lips together. They tasted a mix of chlorine and salt, but that just added to the excitement of the moment. Your fingers got lost in his thick brown locks and his quickened heartbeat thumped against your own chest. You broke the kiss before the lack of oxygen could make you faint. You both panted heavily and a bead of water rolled down his temple. You weren't quite sure if it was water or sweat. Either way, that didn't change the fact that you had just glomped your best guy friend in the middle of a pool while kissing him.
"I-I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to leave and-"
"I've been waiting for that kiss since 6th grade, __________." He laughed. You laughed along and looked up at the sky which was beginning to get dark.
"We should probably head back, it's getting late." Makoto pointed out.
"But I like it here! The water's nice." You joked. He chuckled before grabbing your hand and dragging you towards the edge of the pool.
"Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to make-out in the locker room."

you guys are right makoto is a swimming spain i can't unsee this. love the story
ikr! I keep thinking that he's spain from hetalia then I realize this is a other anime show...XD
OMG YES~ Thank you!~
I've only saw the first 3 eps of Free! but I LOVE it! And Makoto is my second favorite character (Nagisa being my first) Imagine my surprise and utter delight when I see a Free Reader Insert by one of my favorite Reader insert story authors!
Lol XD Yay! I'm not the only one who thought that he looked like Spain XD
I hope to see more Free! fanfics from you
Omfg I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like Spain! Yay! 8D
IKR THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM I WAS LIKE "no. ur spain. stahp."
XDDD omfg XD I was looking through some pictures, where there was some makoto pics, then spain pics, and I had a hard time figuring out who it was for one picture. XD
This was very sweet and adorable. I enjoyed reading this.
Just some of Makoto's personality in this reminded me of Rin... a lot.
A couple of the parts I was actually shocked to read 'Makoto' and not 'Rin'.
If you replaced Makoto's name with Rin, it would actually make more sense.
Since Rin's personality is more flashy and Makoto's is more subtle and kind.
Other than that, I really like it!
Your romance writing is perfectly fine~ Don't think otherwise.

Haha okay, I've watched the entire series but like you may have already known this was my first time actually putting their personality into words so I wasn't quite sure at times. And it was 1am lmao But other than that thank you! xo
Ahahaha. Yes, I can see how that is troublesome. That's happens to me when it's 1 in the morning too. Haha But it was really nice and sweet and we'll written. :3 Just needed a little more calmness and subtle happiness.Haha
This is beautiful, cute, and so sweet!
:') Thanks xo
your welcome! Makoto DOES seem like a swimming Spain but I think Makoto is the much gentler version of Spain...
Totally agree with you

About Me
I'm a native New Yorker, whatever that means, having lived in Manhattan since the early 80s. I've traveled around a lot, but always seem to find my way back home to this crazy island. My girlfriend Natalia and I love traveling and enjoy meeting and hosting new people.
We're also big theatergoers and see lots of BROADWAY (and Off-Broadway) shows, concerts, and dance performances.
**I'm able to get BIG DISCOUNTS on lots of shows and other events in the city so if you're interested in seeing something let me know and I'll see if I can hook you up! It's best to contact me via FACEBOOK so that we can chat live-and-in-person**
My profile link is:
We're also big thrifters, and co-run THRIFTAHOLICS (www.THRIFTAHOLICS.com). We know where the best cheap deals are for just about anything you'd want in NYC.
We also run NYC GRINDHOUSE (www.NYCGRINDHOUSE.com), which is a group of Horror and Grindhouse aficionados. It ain't for the squeamish...
I'm the Director of the NYC International Arabic Language & Culture Social Club (www.NYCALCC.com). I read, write, and speak Modern Standard Arabic and Moroccan colloquial 'Darija' at an advanced intermediate level. My interest in it began while serving overseas as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco. I'm highly honored to be the first non 'Moroccan of the Month' on Wafin.com (www.wafin.com/mom/67/index.phtml).
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I very much enjoy meeting people from other cultures and sharing in cultural exchange. I feel these experiences make me a more knowledgeable and well-rounded person.
I've hosted over 100 surfers since 2008 when I was first introduced to CS from my good friend Ken Londono. Every CS experience I've had has been wonderful - w/o exception. One good story that sticks in my mind is being thrown out of my favorite bar in Hell's Kitchen, Rudy's, with three Croatian woman who were surfing at my place. The story is too long to type here, but I'll tell you when I see you! As well, getting arrested in Central Park with three Australians, well, that's a winner too : ) FRIGHTENED, SCARED? Don't worry, you can ask the Aussies or Croats all about me!
I enjoy EVERYTHING and like trying new things. There's so much to do and try! My big interests include Bicycle Touring (Self-Contained), backpacking, hiking, rock-climbing, and bowling! I recently bowled a perfect game (300)! I like old 80s video games (No One on EARTH can beat me at Spy Hunter) and 70s music. Bring out the funk, Baby!
Music, Movies, and Books
Far too many to list here. Anything that has 'heart' in it, that has meaning, is creative and humorous.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've bicycled across the USA twice and Europe once, as well as other smaller trips here in the States. I served two years as an AmeriCorps volunteer, one year with Habitat for Humanity, and worked as an Environmental Educator with the United States Peace Corps in Morocco. I worked with the United Nations here in NYC for five years. I'm currently working full-time at keeping my beautiful girlfriend Natalia happy : )
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm willing to give a few basic lessons in Arabic, a language and culture which I'm very passionate about.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Well, as an Experienced and well-traveled Couchsurfer and Host myself, I could share some fun and exciting stories, and teach some dirty words to you in Arabic! I ain't a very good cook, but I'm damn good at washing dishes ; )
Countries I've Visited
Aruba, Austria, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Netherlands, Palestine, Switzerland, Syrian Arab Republic, United Kingdom
Countries I've Lived In
Morocco, United States

I write comedy and drama. I write taglines and loglines. I write thousand word essays and two-thousand word chapters. I write headlines. Funny lines. Sad lines. And sometimes, bad lines.
I've worked on household names and startups. I write for the screen, the printed page, the TV, the movies, and for the web. And when all that's done, I sit at my desk and write for myself.
I've been published on several blogs, have owned a weekly column, reached #1 on iTunes, and seen my name in the papers and journalists at my door (long story – but feel free to ask me about it).
I believed Mark Twain when he said, "I like a good story, well told. Which is why sometimes I have to write them myself." And I wish I was that arrogant, though I sometimes like to try.

From my point of view, someone who drinks as much as she did that morning has real experience with drinking. I think the reason that there aren't a lot of people able to say that she drank alot is due to the fact that, for the most part, she drank alone in private.
I would be willing to bet that for quite some time, she drank and smoked pot in the evenings while she was alone caring for the kids and her husband was at work. Dan and Diane's opposite work schedules made it easy for her to keep her habits hidden from him and others.I do not intend to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death!

Also, this was an area she knew, so I am sure she knew whether or not they sold alcohol on Sundays - I don't think alcohol was what she was seeking - moo.I do not intend to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death!

Thank you for your post
Hello everyone This is my first post on the thread. 3rd alll together. Woo hoo. This case has mesmerized me since it happened. I've read ALL of your posts and threads since the beginning. Sheer horror. You are an amazing bunch!
My thoughts:
I remember one post (a police report that said she went to McDonalds a second time and drove toward the truck parking). This is where I think she smoked the pot - and it was within an hour of the accident. I think she "decided" to have a few drinks to "relax" herself (yes, I think she was a closet alcoholic) -- the urge took over, much like it does for any of us that are addicted to food, shopping, anything. She drank too much too fast and got drunk, which in itself causes all types of different, erratic behaviors. She had to keep pulling over to vomit. I suspect she smoked the pot to relieve the nausea - and between the combo - got out of her mind smashed and possibly blacked out (while still functioning on autopilot). .......BUT, even as I say all these words, I still cannot imagine doing all of this - even on one's deathbed, even if one were in a coma, with 5 other lives in your car. THAT is the part that continues to baffle me -- my brain simply cannot comprehend.
Please do share - is this case still being investigated or is it a closed door?
I do think she committed murder - much like Andrea Yates and Susan (who rolled her car into the water).....did she also willingly commit suicide? Uggg. This case will forever haunt me.
Thank you for listening.

...I guess what mesmerizes me is this....it wasn't just murdering her own children, but also murdering children that were not her own, but were in her care, killing herself, and murdering random strangers on a highway. I think on top of the alcohol and the pot, she had some serious emotional/mental issues. Was she in a rage? Was this deliberate? Perhaps not intentional and premeditated from the start - but a deliberate act whens something snapped?

The main argument here is that in stopping to set her phone down she was preventing the kids from calling their folks again and gathering courage for her final exit.
There's a really good summary of the addiction/intoxication theory at
*This site has politically incorrect rhetoric...not for the easily offended.*
This site traces her behavior to level of intoxication as she drove the route...It also has a list of other wrong-way drivers who were intoxicated but not suicidal (e.g., Michael Gagnon).
1. Normal driving on the ten mile trip from the campground to the McDonald's in Liberty.
Diane Schuler wasn't yet intoxicated.
2. Highly aggressive driving on Route 17 and I-87.
Shows first effects of alcohol and marijuana on the body. Diane Schuler had the characteristic personality changes of intoxication.
3, Disoriented and having trouble seeing before speaking to Warren Hance from east side of Tappan Zee bridge.
Shows increasing effects of alcohol and marijuana on Mrs. Schuler as the alcohol and THC were metabolized by the body.
4. "Tunnel vision" or zombie-like driving leading up to the crash.
Shows extreme effects of excessive intoxication possibly leading to coma. Alcohol is a sedative. Toxicology reports show that Diane Schuler still had unmetabolized alcohol in her stomach. As her blood alcohol content kept going up, the deleterious effects of alcohol kept increasing. Her body was still metabolizing ever-increased amounts of alcohol and this led to her death.
(I'm not connected with either of these sites...found on google search.)

Good and valid point animlzrule. You are correct. Andrea Y is a completely different situation. I should know. I had a Mother very much like Andrea Y. Very mentally ill.
The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to GutInstinct For This Useful Post:
I disagree. I can see Diane as someone with the personality to kill herself and her OWN babies - particularly knowing that Daniel said he "never wanted to have kids." But her nieces? No. I will never believe that this was intentional. She had plenty of opportunity to carry out her death wish without involving anyone other than herself and her own children.
The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to Fairy1 For This Useful Post:
I agree and I agree. But is it not possible that she drank the amount of alcohol she drank that day because she didn't know the effect it would have on her?
Still, IDK why her drinking habits are relevant. Whether she was an alcoholic or a moderate drinker, her choices that day were fatal. IMO, Daniel is NOT responsible either way.

WHY she allowed herself to get so intoxicated, we'll never know, but I doubt it was dental pain.I'm just sayin...

My opinion only....not a lawyer....But if he knew she was smoking pot at the campground all night before she took the kids, I think he could be facing some civil liability.

Shop Reviews
AJ's Auto Repair
By GrumblyGirl on Wed 05 February 2014
I took my car here because they were supposed to be specialist in wiring and the first shop I took it to didn't fix the issue. My engine and battery light kept coming on and then the car would die. I got it back with the engine light still on. It ran for a couple of weeks and then did the same thing, and the alternator ended up overheating my brand new battery. Took it to the third shop and found out the alternator was not hooked up properly and caused the over heating. They were well aware that I had recently had the alternator replaced by another shop and I asked them to check it out as well as all the wiring the first shop did. They should have immediately noticed the problem if they had used there "diagnostic" equipment. I should have done more research online before I took my car to 1st Bucky's, then AJ's. I found Conaway motors online and they get an A+ from the better business bureau. I recommend them above all others, for any repair. They found the problem right away and they have specialist in Honda repairs, and one for all other foreign cars.

Do not let them near your car. They replaced my alternator and it was not hooked up properly causing all kinds of electrical problems. There is no way to tell if that was even the original problem either. Then they rewired the entire fuse box, allegedly, because the engine light and battery light kept coming on and then the car would break down every couple days. Also the alternator, I was told had a lifetime warranty, but they charged me to have it tested and then said I needed a new engine rewiring harness and that the alternator was not the problem. In the end the alternator over heated the brand new battery I put in. And blew out my stereo. And 4 months and $1000.00 later my car was never fixed. Bucky's is the devil! There mechanics are barely able to change a tire or change your oil. I got screwed!
