As the night begins, The Beautiful Hair Fairy will set out on an amazing adventure to see her special friends at the childrens hospital. During her visit, she will search in hopes of finding an extraordinary gift from the boys or girls to give to her bunny friends at the end of the night. Her friends at the hospital are unique and brave and their donations are extraordinary gifts that are appreciated by The Beautiful Hair Fairy and the bunny families too.
My name is Sonya Montemayor, and I am a survivor of Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and I received a Bone Marrow Transplant at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. My joy for writing combined with my desire to reach out to others was my driving force in becoming a part of the creation of The Beautiful Hair Fairy and the Extraordinary Gift. I believe my own experience with losing my hair gives a personal touch that adds to the richness of this story. As a survivor, it is my continued hope and goal to encourage patients facing a Histio disease or other illness to stay strong and have hope for health and happiness. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and a better tomorrow.

The specks on ice are explorers Lonnie Dupre and Eric Larsen, setting off on the first ever unsupported summer crossing of the Arctic Ocean in order to draw attention to global warming.
It was realised by the mid-18th century that some gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat and keep the Earth warm. At the start of the 20th century, a Swedish scientist named Svante Arrhenius put forward the idea that human emissions of carbon dioxide would eventually raise temperatures. He didn't see this as a particularly bad thing, and most scientists at the time were sceptical that humans could burn fossil fuels fast enough to have a noticeable impact at all.
So, although the idea that mankind could influence Earth's global temperature was proposed over a century ago, it wasn't until relatively recently that scientists were able to confirm this with confidence. Data had to be gathered from around the world, technology had to develop to allow us to analyse that data, and basic advances in physics and other disciplines had to come about before we could understand it. What we now know about the climate is thanks to literally generations of dedicated researchers.
However, it is also easier to observe human caused climate change today because we've put so much more carbon dioxide into the climate system over the past century that the impacts of climate change are now clearly visible, affecting people and ecosystems all over the world. More cars, more factories, and more power plants - all are changing the climate faster than was previously possible - and causing more obvious changes.
To get an accurate picture of how warm the Earth is, you need measurements from all over because the whole planet does not heat up at the same rate. In fact, some parts might even cool down while the world as a whole heats up. Also, many temperature readings are needed over time to develop an accurate long-term picture. In order to develop a global temperature history, researchers have had to travel to the farthest corners of the Earth, and come up with ways to "go back in time".
Historical records: This includes sources like ship's logs, farmer's diaries and newspaper articles. When carefully evaluated these can provide both quantitative and qualitative data.
Personal accounts and oral histories: Useful information can be gathered especially from the older generations of indigenous people who have always relied on nature for their survival, and so are particularly observant of changes over the past decades.
Direct (e.g. thermometer) measurements: These only go back around 300 years, and are very sparse until about 150 years ago. Also, differences in thermometer types and other variables have to be taken into account.
Data collected by balloon and satellite: This kind of data is very useful, but has only been available since 1979.
Tree ring thickness: This indicates temperature because the width and density of tree rings varies depending on growing conditions.
Ocean and lake sediments: Billions of tons of sediments accumulate each year in lakes and the ocean. The tiny preserved fossils and chemicals in the layers of sediment can be used understand past climate conditions.
Coral skeletons: The water temperature that the coral grew in can be determined from trace metals, oxygen and the isotopes of oxygen contained in its skeleton.
Fossil pollen: Each plant has uniquely shaped pollen. Knowing what plants were growing at a particular time in the fossil record enables scientists to make inferences about what the climate was like at the time.
Ice cores: Over the centuries snow falling on high mountains and the polar ice caps packs down and becomes solid ice. Dust and air bubbles trapped in this ice provide valuable climate data. For example, the air trapped in the ice serves as a record of carbon dioxide concentrations across the millennia.
Observed melting: Rates of glacial retreat, permafrost thaw, shrinking polar ice caps and reduction in Arctic sea ice are indicators of both short and long term climate change.
The important thing is not to look at any one source of data independently, but instead to take them together. This produces a scientifically compelling picture of a warming world that matches with the corresponding increase in greenhouse gases.
Global climate models are mathematical representations of the real world's climate. Some models are attempts by scientists to boil the complex behaviour of the climate down to (comparatively!) simple formulas in an attempt to understand the forces at work. However, when people talk about specific predictions of long term climate behaviour they are usually talking about general circulation models.
In these models, the equations are tweaked (within reason) until the model is able to predict past and present conditions, as accurately as possible, when tested against actual observations of past and present conditions.
Since it's impossible to know every last variable in such a complex system, and because the model will never match the real world perfectly, scientists compensate by running each model over and over, while making tiny changes to the starting conditions (increasing the wind speed over Detroit by one percent, for example) and other factors. This way they can get an idea of the different possible outcomes. If one result occurs more frequently than another, then it is the more likely outcome.
In the end, each model predicts a range of possible outcomes. For example, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - taking into account all of the different available models - agreed on a projected global temperature rise of 1.4 - 5.8 degrees Celsius (about 3 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit). No one can say exactly how much the temperature will increase over the next hundred years, but with a couple of caveats it's a safe bet that it will be within this range.
One thing climate models cannot predict are all the possible effects of feedback mechanisms, which might help stabilise the climate or cause the climate to change much faster and in unpredictable ways. Of course, it would be irresponsible to ignore the climate models and hope for the best because of these uncertainties.
Another thing these models cannot really predict is human behaviour, and ingenuity. We might burn more fossil fuels than expected, and end up with a hotter planet then even the worst case scenario. Or we might deploy renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions faster then thought possible - eliminating the likelihood of the higher temperature ranges.

Andrew Davies, the Finance Minister, took quite a grilling from backbench AMs from his own party this afternoon.
Giving evidence on his draft budget to the Finance Committee, Andrew Davies struggled to defend his government's short-sighted plans to cut higher and further education funding by 5% despite the desperate need to re-train those who have lost their jobs and despite the fact that Wales needs to invest in education to prepare for future economic growth.
On several occasions throughout the proceedings he repeated the question, 'Where is the money going to come from?' while Labour backbencher Ann Jones helpfully reminded him of an unallocated £50 million he has stashed away in the health budget.
All in all, the Labour backbenchers were unusually vocal and direct in challenging the Minister, and the three of them on the committee – Alun Davies, Lorraine Barrett and Ann Jones – evidently felt passionately about the need to invest in education.
Given that the Labour-Plaid government's budget singularly fails to deliver what these three AMs think it should, it will be interesting to watch how they vote when the budget is put before the Assembly in two weeks' time.
Two of the aforementioned AMs were part of a group of six Labour AMs who voted against their government's plans for a badger cull in Pembrokeshire (to halt the spread of Bovine TB) yesterday. Clearly they are not afraid to vote against their own government when it comes to protecting wildlife. Will the same hold true when it comes to protecting people's chances of a better future?
That was two of the three. The third?
I don't hold out much hope. This time a year ago, Alun Davies supported his government's previous cut to colleges' budgets – and then had the shameless audacity to campaign against the cuts with the college unions…. outside the very building in which he cast his vote.
No, I am willing to bet that in a fortnight's time, these apparently vocal opponents of the government's education strategy will no doubt appear as supine as their Plaid Cymru partners.

House For Sale: Bath, Maine
Eventually, it was time to head out to Merrymeeting Bay, where six rivers (the Kennebec, Androscoggin, Eastern, Muddy, Cathance, and Abagadasset) come together to provide one of the most nutrient-rich water bodies in the world. It was, we'd guess, about a 10-minute drive from downtown, past many beautiful homes on the water or at least with water views.
At one time, Sharon explained to us, there were scores of shipyards along these various riverbanks, establishing Bath as "the City of Ships." Today there's just one — but it's huge. That would be, of course, the famous Bath Iron Works, established in 1884 and currently building destroyers for the U.S. Navy.
Yes, Sharon was right. We absolutely loved the house the second we turned off Eagle Point Road onto its hot-top driveway and parked in front of the two-car (heated) garage. A stunning contemporary center-chimney timber-frame Cape with two high gabled wings, it's sited amid tall pines. Patios and an enormous deck overlook the bay. With 2.3 acres and 400 feet of water frontage (including a sandy beach at low tide), as well as nearby access to a shared deepwater mooring area, it most definitely seemed to us like one of those properties that ordinarily sell for millions.
Two cats met us at the front door. The current owners, Dennis and Suzanne Tan, who built the home six years ago, have moved to the Charlotte, North Carolina, area for business and family reasons. The cats belong to a family who is currently leasing the house (away the day of our visit).
With 4,400 square feet divided among 10 rooms on three levels, the home features lots of glass with fabulous views of the bay, and big wooden timbers, joined by pegs rather than nails, throughout. The master bedroom and bath are on the third level over the garage; the main area of that floor contains two children's bedrooms.
A fully equipped kitchen and separate adjoining dining room are on the second level. Next to the dining room is a gorgeous living room — Sharon calls it the "great room" — with a handsome fireplace and glass doors leading out to the spacious deck. A guest room, laundry room, and entry hall complete the floor.
On the first level is another guest room, plus a fully furnished in-law or guest apartment with one bedroom and bath, a nice kitchen, and doors leading out to a patio overlooking those wonderful water views. There's a sprinkler system, and almost every room in the house is wired for every sort of high-tech device you can imagine.
The highlight of our visit, however, was our walk with Sharon down a beautifully landscaped pathway from the deck to the private, secluded beach and a nearby point of land with its granite bench, where you can enjoy the sunsets. Truly magical.
Soon after our visit, we phoned owner Dennis Tan. He said he felt bad that he'd had to put his dream house on the market, and that he missed walking down to the beach with his son. Often they'd see harbor seals, even bald eagles. On occasion they'd head out in the small motorboat he kept down there — once going as far as Boothbay Harbor. "It was wonderful to be on a lake-type setting, but with access to the ocean," he recalled. "Maybe it was just too good to last."
Well, before this new year of 2008 becomes old, someone else will be walking down that path for a morning swim. Not this month, though. The Kennebec is freezing-cold, and most of the area's mooring buoys and floating docks have been hauled out. For now, it'd be best to just sit by the fire in that great room and gaze out through the pines at the bay. Of course, you could also be enjoying some hot, fresh gingerbread just out of the oven.
Thanks, Sharon, for all of your good real estate tips — particularly that one.

Q&A: Avoid Awkward Silences & More
Yes, it's that time once again: the day we feature your dating and relationship questions. Although we would like to answer each one personally and with as much detail as possible, the overwhelming amount of inquiries forces us to highlight those that are most interesting to AskMen.com readers; your e-mail may even be answered in the process.
This week's Q&A focuses on how to be a good conversationalist and what to do when you've been stood up. David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating: What Every Man Should Know About How To Be Successful With Women, has your answers.
What's your advice if a guy is chatting up a woman, but hits an awkward silence and runs out of things to say?Yeah, I have some advice: What you need to do is plan in advance a couple of choice ways to recover.
For example, you could say: "You love me," "This relationship isn't going to work," and "Don't turn into a stalker, OK?"
There's a list of three to get you going.
What's beautiful about these responses is that you can use them in just about ANY situation, with ANY woman.
Let's say you're at a club and you're flirting with a girl and she's laughing and hitting on you. Look at her with a straight face and say, "You love me."
Now, 99% of guys won't have the nerve to say anything REMOTELY like this. So when you say this, you'll instantly put yourself a cut above any other guy she'll talk to the entire night.
Practice these comebacks until they're natural.
But remember: The purpose here isn't to be CUTE; the purpose is to build ATTRACTION.
When you use a comeback that's bold and unpredictable — that she'd never think you'd say in a million years — attraction is EXACTLY what you'll make her feel.
Then you need to know what the next step is… and the next… and the next.
I'm attracted to younger women. Is something wrong with me?A lot of guys find something particularly attractive about younger women.
I get a ton of letters from guys in their 40s wanting to date women in their 30s, or from guys in their 30s wanting to date women in their 20s.
In these cases, there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with going for it.
In fact, you'll find that many younger women find an older guy especially attractive. If you're a bit older than her, chances are you have a maturity, confidence and presence that younger guys haven't developed yet.
And that's a good thing.
You just have to switch your perspective and see the truth that your age isn't a PROBLEM… it's actually your SOLUTION.
But if becoming older means you've become more boring and more predictable, than you need to fix this.
Nothing turns a woman off faster than a guy who is boring and predictable — except an OLDER guy who is even MORE boring and predictable.
You feel me?
One other thing: It's sad that I have to mention this, but NEVER try to meet or date women younger than the legal age in whatever country/state you live in. In other words, if you're in your 30s and you've got a thing for 16-year-olds, you need to get some professional help right away, man.
What to do when you've been stood up…
Have a question? Get it answered by AskMen's guyQ.

It might be OK to see a trainee tag affixed to the chest of someone serving you a burger, but quite another to see the same tag on the chest of your surgeon as you're put under before an operation. Of course that's not the reality with trainee surgeons getting practice alongside more experienced surgeons and on cadavers. But cadavers don't grow on trees – thankfully – and practicing on live patients exposes them to some risk. Now two Buffalo scientists have paired up to create a new procedure-based, hands-on surgical training software system that promises to deliver effective training in emerging robot-assisted surgical techniques.Read More
In terms of teaching secondary students relevant and very useful life skills, there could be no better investment at every secondary school than Honda's all-new automobile driving simulator. Honda has been developing bicycle, motorcycle and car driving simulators solely for the purpose of traffic safety education for almost a decade, and the this model is completely new from the ground up, designed specifically to enhance the ability of driver trainees to recognize, understand and appropriately react to potential risks. In a world where becoming part of the road toll is a daily risk we all share, one wonders at just how many lives a US$66,000 machine like this might save?Read More
Simulators have long been used to teach new skills that would otherwise involve great expense and/or great risk - like learning to fly a new aeroplane. Now Ferrari has built its own F1 simulator so it can develop its Formula One cars and train its drivers to use new technology and to race on new tracks without breaking F1 rules limiting testing in the real world. The simulator uses ten linked computers, 60 GB of RAM, five giant 3D video screens, a 3500 watt Dolby sound system, and weighs more than 200 tonnes. Even the 130 kW electrical power supply for the machine is a beast.Read More
Supercar aficionados will undoubtedly be salivating at the thought of a visit to Ferrari's Theme Park. Now set to open in 2010 it will be home to a range of multi-sensory experiences ranging from rollercoasters to displays and driving experiences.Read More
Simulators are a great, safe way to teach people how to do things properly before they actually have to do them. The first simulators were for airplanes and they cost a lot of money when they appeared 80 years ago. Although simulating an aircraft cockpit and behavior was a difficult and costly business, it had a very effective ROI in terms of planes and pilots. Nowadays, you can simulate almost any environment thanks to the computer - there are low cost safety simulators available for planes, boats, cars, motorcycles, and even the inside of a person's mouth - but until now, not bicycles. Honda is rectifying that with a bicycle simulator that has been developed for the purpose of traffic safety education.Read More
Jaded theme park aficionados looking for a new thrill will want to get along to the Innoventions pavilion in Epcot at Disney World, Florida, to experience The Sun of All Thrills. On display will be the new KUKA RoboSim 4-D Simulator, a robotic ride that not only puts thrill-seekers at the mercy of a 3-D motion robotic arm, but also adds "wind" by controlling air movements to provide a more realistic simulation experience.Read More
Remember back in the 80s when Steve Vai used to make his guitar "talk" to David Lee Roth? That video clip is here, but be warned, Roth's bare butt peeking through the holes in his leather chaps is one of the LEAST offensive things in the clip. It seems things have become more refined in the last 20-odd years. This fascinating clip shows how Austrian composer Peter Ablinger has programmed a mechanically-actuated piano to reproduce recorded human speech. And yes, you can somehow understand it.Read More

March 27, 2008 Evidence of dentistry has been found dating back as far as 5500 BC however common knowledge tends to only go back as far as the Middle Ages when dental procedures were performed by barbers or general practitioners (with the aid of pliers and a bottle of whisky). These days patient care is of the utmost importance, which is why dentistry researchers at the University of Illinois (UIC) are developing a haptic training simulator called PerioSim, which uses 3-D virtual reality technology to allow dental students to improve their skills before being allowed near real live patients.

March 17, 2008 High flying, deal-making business and the leisurely sport of golf have gone hand in hand for decades, the high-class country club being an exclusive refuge for the wealthy and powerful.

NEW LONDON, Conn. - Stanford sailing finished 16th at the Danmark Trophy hosted by the United States Coast Guard Academy this past weekend. The Cardinal totaled 229 points to finish 16th among the 20-team field.
Brown won the event for the first time since 1992 with 119 points.
Kevin Laube and Helena Scutt represented the Cardinal in the A-Division, racking up 83 points to finish 11th. The B-Division featured Michael Dahl and Rebecca King, as the duo placed 20th with 146 points.
The 70th anniversary of the Danmark Trophy began Saturday on the Thames River with challenging conditions for the sailors. The weather mark was voluntarily moved many times by competitors, helping to keep the mark set boat busy.
Sunday brought similar conditions with the breeze coming out of the northeast. The divisions switched fleets to begin the day as the ebb started shortly after racing began and increased rapidly.
Stanford now looks ahead to competing at next week's Hobart and William Smith Invitational (Oct. 6-7) in Geneva, N.Y., Match Race Area Eliminations (Oct. 6-7) in Vallejo, Calif., and the Moody Trophy in Wakefield, R.I.

Last weekend, half of the nation of Germany ran on solar power. Half of the country. And they're not even that sunny.
|Suck it, Spain!
How did they do it? Read the article, but not now. You're reading me now, and I'm jealous like that. But since it's pertinent to my rant, I'll sum it up: it had to do with subsidies and public support and stuff. Basically, they had their shit together, and they broke a world record for it.
I read the article to my wife. Her response was, "Wow. We're… not… going… to be the most powerful country in the world for much longer."
I think that's a pretty valid argument. Just going off that article it does seem like the United States is being outpaced by Germany pretty quickly, at least in the unlimited energy department. Does it matter if the US is the most powerful country? Not really. Lots of countries thrive outside of the international spotlight.
|Just ask these guys.
But the United States has taken great pains to establish itself as the leader of the free world in just about every way possible, except for blonde models.
|Above: Sweden's #2 export, after meat balls.
We were at the forefront of modern democracy, the Industrial Revolution, and the Information Age. The Wright Brothers invented manned flight in the US. Benjamin Franklin harnessed electricity in the US. Al Gore invented the Internet here.
|Pleasepleaseplease believe me this time...
Americans thrive on being the best, winning the most and coming in first every time. But the United States is ranked 20th on the Education Index. Our children aren't keeping pace educationally with the rest of the world, but we can't seem to get a good system in place because our partisan politicians can't agree on one.
Our Current Account Balance is the lowest in the world. Or the highest negative number, if you want to look at it that way. It's this number: $ -599,900,000,000.00. That number means the United States' credit is in the shitter. Right now, Sri Lanka could buy a better car than us. But nothing's changing because our Congress can't seem to find a way to stop spending money, or agree on how to cut costs. The wealthiest of Americans can spend a billion dollars for an election, but not on the country itself.
How about energy? We consume more oil than any other country.
It's no secret that there's a finite amount of oil on the planet, and the United States uses more oil than the next four countries after it combined, and has to import over half of its oil from elsewhere.
While a marginally sunny country like Germany can power half its populace on solar power for a weekend our country, which is 3900% more sunny than Germany, offers $71 billion more in subsidies to oil than solar power. There are initiatives across the country to harness wind and sun energy, but our lawmakers seem content not to press for more subsidies to encourage these endeavors.
Now, before my goofy over-patriotic readers chime in with your "If yew don't like awr country yew cayn get owt!", let me qualify all of this by saying that I love being an American. For all our flaws, I would still rather have been born and raised here than anywhere else. I fought proudly in the US Armed Forces for 8 years.
But we have got to get our shit together. We have become embroiled in partisan-line bickering, even on the local level. We spend more time goofing around with our technological distractions than involving ourselves in the fate of our nation, and when we do involve ourselves it's usually on a detached headline-only level. Because we aren't involved, our representatives get elected by only 40% of the population, a good portion of that 40% wrapped up in closed-minded partisanship. So our elected officials are closed-minded partisans because that's who elected them. So nothing gets done because our lawmakers are arguing along party lines.
But we can't only blame the politicians. We, as the American people, are not interested enough in being the best anymore. We are content with our gadgets and our mostly-low-cost food supply. Sure the bills are higher than they used to be, but we're still getting by. We have become content with "good enough". So while America treads water, whistling at the clouds, every other first-world country is passing us by in one area or another.
Is it only a matter of time before somebody takes us over and makes kuchen the national dessert? Likely not, because one of the few other areas in which the United States is #1 is military power. Any sucka fools tryin to jack our country in for a world 'o hurt, son!
But if we are outpaced in every other area consistently for a long period of time, military might won't matter.The US will likely go broke and we'll just be bought by another country and turned into a theme park.
|I, for one, will welcome our new overlords.
We don't need to be the best, kids. But my friend nailed it when he said we need to be better.
This isn't going to change anyone's mind. I'm not nearly put-together enough to do something like that. But maybe you'll click a link and read something and maybe it will get you thinking.
At least, until America's Got Talent comes on.
|I LOVE that show! So much TALENT!
Thanks for reading, kids.

Zvezda would have utilised unmanned spacecraft designed by the Lavochkin OKB to conduct initial reconnaissance of the prospective moon base site. These would use lunar soil core drills to obtain samples of the soil and return them to earth for analysis, and Lunokhod rovers to survey the site. If the site was found to be satisfactory, these craft had radio beacons which would guide follow-on elements of the base to precision landings.
The manned elements apparently used the improved L3 complex (designed for the follow-on two man lunar landings) to ferry manned crews from earth orbit to lunar orbit and then from lunar orbit to the surface and back. The Block Sr LOX/LH2 stage would be used to insert the components of Zvezda into low lunar orbit. Ambitious articulated mobile nuclear-powered Lunokhod laboratories would take the cosmonauts from the landing sites on long-duration traverses of the lunar surface. The Lunokhods were equipped with core samplers and manipulators so that the crew could conduct collection of surface samples from within the pressurised cab without the need to always exit the ship and conduct surface operations in space suits.
Eventually a huge lunar base would be built up, using pressurized buried laboratory and living modules. These plans were very reminiscent of the US Army 'Project Horizon'. DLB work ended in May 1974 with the cancellation of the N1 launch vehicle upon which it relied.

The Chicago Public Library and its namesake foundation presented its annual Carl Sandburg Literary Awards dinner, which drew scores of local wordsmiths, including Jack Fuller, Chris Ware and Dawn Turner Trice, and their fellow book-lovers, to The Forum on the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago. After a conversation-filled cocktail reception and lavish dinner, authors Isabel Allende, Michael Lewis and Christine Sneed were recognized for their impressive literary accomplishments. The mingling continued during the post-ceremony book signing, and by the end of the night, a record $1.5 million was raised for CPL's many outreach programs. –Photography by Johnny Knight and Dan Rest

Truck is outside in all weather. Had a very hard time removing pollen this year. Crusted on heavily & took a lot of work to remove it. This was the main reason for getting the cover. Looks like it will work fine for our purposes. Also the cover is not unsightly & color blends in nicely.

My HOA insists that I cover the company logos. This worked out great for that reason. It also protects my truck from sand blown winds and temps. As I have a home in palm spring ca. The ease of putting it on and the storage bag make this a perfect cover for my needs.

Review Date: 2014-03-30
I was very happy that the cover material wasn't thin/flimsy. It's pretty easy to get off/on, and the straps provided kept the cover on my truck during the latest storm. Is wonderfully water-proof. Only bad thing about it is that the bed part filled up with water - I'll have to put something in the bed to 'tent' it. But overall very glad I purchased from Empirecovers.

I couldn't MAKE a cover out of bags and duct tape for this price, and this low priced cover fits beautifully and keeps all dust out of the vehicle even on the inside.

Some parents consider their children heroes because they endure devastating, even life-threatening health conditions with courage. Some people see their children as heroes because they overcome bullying, criticism or social cruelty.
My son Rob is a hero to me because he faced the fact that he had made a mess not only of his life but of his very character. The road to that recognition began when I threw him out of our house one sweltering summer day almost three years ago, when he was 23. At the time, both of us thought this was an ending, not a beginning. As Rob slammed the door behind him that day, he never looked back. He took the first steps of a 10-mile walk back from our house in the country to his crummy apartment in the city. I ran from window to window, struggling to catch a last glimpse of his brawny form and characteristic springy step. I didn't know it then, but this would be the longest walk of Rob's life.
At the time, all I thought was that I would never see my firstborn again.
Once I had believed that Rob might be the only child I would ever have. Because I'd had trouble conceiving, Rob was specially treasured and the darling of his father's heart. When the next two came along, Rob seemed more put out than the usual older sibling. Then Dan died at 44, cancer claiming him as swiftly as a brush fire, leaving me with three little boys and precious little else. Rob was only nine. The younger boys clung to me, but Rob withdrew into an ever-darkening cloud of self-absorption. Of course, I wasn't the mother I should have been or wanted to be. Emotionally and economically, I almost cracked under the strain. But I tried to fight back, with all the stamina and creativity I had. After a full day at the university where I worked, I seized every freelance assignment I could find and was also—crazy as it seems to me now—trying to write my first novel. All I wanted was to keep life "normal" for my boys, not understanding that life would never be normal again. The youngest, Marty, was just three and wistfully told me that I should work at the Dairy Queen, where they had four-hour shifts. But even Marty seemed to know that this harried and weary woman was doing her best.
On the other hand, Rob blamed me for everything from his father's death to the loss of his best friend, Eric. What really happened with his friend was this: The boy's mother, a minister, called me and said, "I really hate to tell you this, Jackie, but I don't want Eric playing with Rob anymore. Rob is just not being . . . very nice. He's throwing rocks at cars -and calling names." I should have confronted Rob on the spot. Instead, I chose to believe that my son would never indulge in such destructive behavior—or if he did, it was boyish mischief. Was I too frightened to face facts? Now I see that I was. Facts demanded consequences. I had no strength for them. I lied, telling Rob that Eric's mom wanted him to spend more time with church friends. I might have saved him then with the truth. But hadn't Rob already suffered so much? And how many more blows could he and I bear?
As the years passed, I wished more than anything that I'd had the courage to come down hard on Rob after that phone call. Instead, I tried to compensate, giving love in return for nothing, not even acknowledgment. Rob's hostility and apathy grew in direct proportion to his height and strength of will.
Two years after Dan died, and against all reason, I adopted a baby daughter, Francie. A couple of years after that, I remarried. Chris was a father waiting to happen (we would go on to have five more kids) and was undaunted by marrying a woman 12 years older and having to fit into a fully formed family. The younger boys and Francie turned to Chris's gentleness like flowers after a frost. But not Rob.

Ich kann Deutsch, aber–!Vienna, Spring 2012
Upon arrival in Vienna, I found myself greeted with the all-foreboding German intensive course. Somehow, I've squeaked into the Advanced placement course - though I'm still unsure if my poor Germglish is really up to par. I suppose I'm ready to find out! Anyway, the first three weeks of class within Vienna will actually consist of only German intensive - which lasts for three hours every day. It's actually not as bad as it sounds, so far. It can be a challenging and a little work intensive, but I've still found plenty of time to relax and pop into some Viennese Cafes while I'm studying or doing a worksheet. While you're in German intensive, IES will throw a bunch of things your way too. Case in point - right now I'm trying to figure out exactly what courses I'm going to be taking for the rest of the semester! There are so many options, and while I had picked out quite a few preemptively, now that I'm here I'm thinking of changing all of my plans. Thankfully, IES's staff is really helpful and encourages you to change from what you originally 'signed up for' if you feel there's another opportunity that better suits your purposes. Case in point being, so far the staff is incredibly accommodating and will keep you from wanting to crying yourself to sleep at night because you chose to take a politics class instead of that super-cool history class that goes on excursions on a weekly basis. So worry not, my friend! The IES staff is around to not only help you 'squeeze the juice' of your Vienna experience, but they want you to have a fun and interesting semester during your stay in Vienna - and I've found that this hands on attitude is perfect when you're trying to transit from one place to another! Oh, and if German Intensive seems like a scary monster looming over the horizon - don't worry! While it will keep you busy, the promise of a week-long break (or IES trip, which is what I signed up to do) will surely help to keep your choo-choo chugging down the track.

When summer comes needy children often lose access to the free or reduced price meals available during the school year. In Ohio, which has a child hunger rate of 25 percent, this is a huge problem.
According to the Food Research and Action Center only about 60,000 out of 600,000 needy children in Ohio take part in summer feeding. Cincinnati has developed a unique way to deal with this gap in child feeding. Libraries are becoming distribution sites for feeding children during the summer.
Diane Smiley, the Youth Services Coordinator, said yesterday that 14 branch libraries throughout the city will be serving food to children this summer. The meals are free and children can "feed your stomach and your brain at the Library." Another 4 library sites will be serving meals in association with a summer camp reading program. The number of sites is an expansion over previous years of summer feeding.
Innovative ways to distribute food during the summer is needed to fight hunger in every community and state. The Cincinnati Public Library is doing just that. This a good example that could be applied to other parts of the country.
The Cincinnati Public Schools and Windows Art Enrichment are partnering with the libraries. The program will begin on June 9th and run till August 8th. The food will be served on weekdays with the exception of the fourth of July. The serving times will be released shortly.
For more information visit the Cincinnati Public Library web site.

Bored with his London office job and seeking adventure, 19 year-old Ronald Hadingham joined the RAF in 1938 with little idea of where his passion for flying and photography would take him. Six years later, he was piloting risky reconnaissance missions in the Mediterranean, flying for six or seven hours at wave-top height—a task he described as "very tiring, very difficult, and extremely exciting for young men."
During those years he survived a near-catastrophic crash, failures of engines, instruments, and control systems, two landings with burst tires, and a mission in which he was "very, very nearly shot down" by German shore artillery" not to mention being accidentally locked in the pitch-dark hold of the troop ship taking him to the Middle East.
Other challenges were on a more personal level. Ronald's intimate wartime diary reveals how he struggled with the constant losses of friends, sometimes in crashes right in front of him, and how, as Squadron Leader, he had to manage the morale of 150 men under extreme pressure from daily low-flying missions.
Reaching a climax as Ronald's squadron pursues a German U-boat and spots the pride of the Italian fleet, the 51,000-ton liner Rex, Spreading My Wings is a highly personal testimony of a young man's experience of war and his hopes for a better world, illustrated by many previously unpublished photographs.

For the second month in a row, there are so many new gluten-free options coming to Atlanta area restaurants that it is necessary to write a second gluten-free dining report. This update brings with it new gluten-free options for: Venezuelan cuisine, lasagna, chicken nuggets, chocolate souffle, pizza, burgers on buns, affagato, and freshly made pasta.
Please keep in mind that none of these establishments,with the exception of Arepa Mia, have dedicated gluten-free kitchens, but they take steps to avoid cross contact during preparation.
Arepa Mia - is opening a second location in Decatur in June. This restaurant is located at Sweet Auburn and the entire menu, which is loaded with Venezuelan cuisine, is gluten free.
Blue Ridge Grill - has introduced new seasonal menu items and they have a full gluten-free menu. The restaurant is known for its hospitality and attention to detail and now that I have experienced it first hand, I am excited to go back with the family. Both of the golden lump crab salad served with celery puree, French radishes, and an orange salad tossed in vanilla oil and the seared diver scallops with red peas and rice garnished with Edwards bacon and mustard seed vinaigrette are outstanding. Ask for their gluten-free menu when being seated.
Cibo E Beve - Chef Linda puts out a great spread of inspired Italian dishes and many of them are gluten free as well. Gluten-free lasagna with housemade noodles (caputo flour) is always on the menu, and gluten-free penne pasta is available as a sub for their pasta dishes. I recommend ordering the Honey Compressed Watermelon with prosciutto, smoked paprika mascarpone, and micro basil, the Chicken Marsala made with Springer Mountain Chicken, and the Penne Pasta with marcella hazan's creamy tomato butter sauce, and wild Georgia shrimp. I sampled their pistachio gelato, which is house made, and I couldn't stop eating it. Chef Linda cooks with very little flour/rue, so be sure to ask your server about their gluten-free options. They have an incredible bar filled without housemade juices and an inventive bar master. Very soon said bar will include Crispin Cider on tap and a gluten-free beer cocktail.
Chow Bing - has added a second location at the "Disco Kroger" shopping center on Piedmont Road in Buckhead. Chow Bing is a fast-casual Asian eatery featuring "natural, sustainable, and primarily gluten-free options." Thanks Eli!
Jason's Deli - has added antibiotic-free, gluten-free chicken nuggets to its gluten sensitive menu. An order consists of four white-meat chicken nuggets, breaded in cornmeal, and baked.
Paul's Restaurant - I attended a gluten-free cooking class taught by Chef Paul recently where he made the most incredible chocolate souffle with nutella cream. I was very excited to learn that it is offered on the menu at Paul's. This souffle is served warm and topped with nutella cream, chocolate shavings, and espresso ice cream. I also learned that Paul's has many gluten-free offerings, but they aren't marked on the menu.
Ratio Bakeshop - just opened a brick and mortar store in Decatur. They offer gluten-free: cookies, brownies, cakes, candy, and cheesecakes. The cookies and brownies are available every day, but the cakes and cheesecakes are only available by special order. More information on their gluten-free goodies can be found here.
Ribalta Pizza - according to an Atlanta Magazine article, this restaurant will open soon and it will offer gluten-free pizza. The menu is noted with a 'GF' by those pizzas that can be made with gluten-free ingredients. No word on their safe handling procedures, so be sure to ask.
Smashburger - I learned from Gluten Free Philly that they are now offering Udi's Gluten Free buns at all U.S. locations. They have also reformulated the seasoning that goes on its burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches to be gluten free. Some toppings available for add-ons do contain gluten, and guests should ask the manager to have their orders prepared with separate utensils. Check out their allergen menu to learn about their gluten-free options.
Sugo Restaurant - their newest chef, Chef Francis, has perfected the art of making fresh gluten-free pasta in multiple shapes: ravioli, garganelli, tortolloni, and spaghetti. These pastas are prepared daily making Sugo the only restaurant (that I know of) in metro Atlanta offering fresh, gluten-free pasta.
The Bishop - just opened in Avondale Estates and its menu boasts several gluten-free choices. Their cuisine features "American classics and traditional comfort foods with a twist using all-natural, locally sourced products."
Yum Yum Dessert Co. - Looking for a cold treat, then head over to Yum Yum where Pastry Chef Nadia DeMessa's new Buckhead storefront offers an impressive array of ice creams, sorbets, sundaes and affagato, which for those of us not in the know, just means vanilla ice cream with a shot of espresso.
What are you most excited to try? Do you eat out? Why or why not?

KANSAS CITY – John "Jack" S. Spence, 80, retired president of Faultless Laundry Co., Kansas City, Mo., died here Friday, Feb. 15.
Spence represented the third generation in the family business, working several years with his father, John B. Spence, and his grandmother, Cora Spence. He became president in 1962, marking a time in which he would start to aggressively grow the business for the next 30 years.
Spence graduated high school in Kansas City and served in the Navy during World War II. After his military service, he graduated from Regis College in Denver.
Spence made major contributions to the Linen Supply Association of America (LSAA), later renamed the Textile Rental Services Association of America (TRSA), including service as its president in 1971-73. He actively participated in LSAA/TRSA committees and often played host to visiting TRSA members.
TRSA recognized his service in 2004 by presenting him with the Textile Rental Member Achievement Award, its highest honor.
"Jack was the kind of person who could always see the road ahead and figure out how to get there," TRSA President/CEO Roger Cocivera tells Textile Rental Weekly, a TRSA publication. "People admired him because he was a leader with vision."
Surviving Spence are his wife, Kit, of 57 years; seven children; 21 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and two sisters.
Several of his children are active as the fourth generation to lead Faultless, including daughter Susan Witcher, who serves as president and CEO, and son Mark Spence, who is COO, according to TRSA.
A funeral Mass was celebrated Wednesday in Kansas City. Memorial contributions in Spence's honor may be made to St. Francis Mission, P.O. Box 499, St. Francis, SD 57572, or St. Francis Xavier Church, 1001 E. 52nd St., Kansas City, MO 64110.
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. – David J. Costabile, vice president of marketing for laundry equipment dealer PAC Industries, Harrisburg, Pa., died at his home Feb. 7. He was 52.
"David Costabile will always be remembered as positive, passionate and genuinely committed: to his customers, his family (especially his son David) and his co-workers," James Pellerin, president, Pellerin Milnor Corp., tells Textile Rental Weekly. "He seldom took 'no' for an answer, but was always a gentleman who thrived on building relationships on all levels.
"He was responsible for numerous successful automated laundry installations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New England in nearly three decades of service to our industry. His untimely passing leaves a void in our hearts."
Costabile was an avid golfer and an accomplished high school and collegiate athlete. He competed in wrestling at the highest levels of state and national competitions and received several scholarship offers, choosing the University of Tampa.

CYBERSPACE—Village Voice Media is in a pickle. The pressure to no longer take lucrative prostitution and escort ads on Backpage.com increases with every day, but so does the amount of traffic coming into the adult services sections, and perhaps more significantly, so does the ad revenue.
According to AIM Group, the acknowledged "bible" of data and analysis of the classified advertising industry, Backpage is the leader by a wide margin in revenue generated from online prostitution ads. In fact, according to recent analysis by AIM, "Traffic to U.S. websites that publish escort and body-rub ads hit a record in March, while five of those sites sold at least $3.2 million in online prostitution ads during the month," and Backpage.com accounted for a large majority of that revenue.
"Backpage.com, the general classified-advertising site owned by Village Voice Media, generated at least $2.6 million in online prostitution ad revenue during March–81 percent of the total–and had nearly 3.4 million unique visits," the analysis concluded. "Revenue was 2.7 percent higher than February, and 33.4 percent higher than March 2011. Unique visits to Backpage.com were up 8.1 percent from the previous month and 11.6 percent from March 2011."
In case there was any doubt about Backpage's standing, the report stated, "Backpage is the leading U.S. site for prostitution advertising, a position it assumed in 2010 when Craigslist stopped publishing ads for adult services such as escorts and body rubs."
It was during that same time period that the full focus of state attorneys general around the country started to call attention to Backpage.com in an attempt to replicate the same result they had with Craigslist. But the Village Voice, which has steadfastly maintained that it takes child protection very seriously and works closely with multiple law enforcement agencies to identify, track and locate child abusers who use their sites, has proven to be a far more determined adversary.
In recent months, pressure from people like New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has increased, as has efforts by politicians calling for the voluntary closure of the sex ads pages. Just Monday, in fact, freshman Congressman Robert Turner (R-N.Y.) introduced a resolution that calls on Village Voice Media to shutter the adult entertainment section.
Turner's resolution, H.Res. 646, outlines the recent wave of public pressure against Village Voice to terminate its adult-themed classified ads. It also lists eight specific examples of people who were arrested for sex trafficking, all of whom used Backpage.com to advertise.
According to The Hill, "After six full pages of findings, the resolution concludes that the House 'calls on Village Voice Media Holdings LLC to act as a responsible global citizen and immediately eliminate the 'adult entertainment' section of the classified advertising website Backpage.com to terminate the website's rampant facilitation of online sex trafficking.'"
To support its position, the Rep's resolution contains findings contained in the same March analysis by AIM, which, while it does provide clear data indicating the popularity of Backpage.com, addresses in general the issue of underage ads on sites like Backpage.com but does not provide any data regarding the alleged number of underage ads on the site or the amount of traffic or revenue associated with underage ads.
It does mention, however, changes made by Backpage to its adult section, as well as a law in Washington state that requires "websites that operate within the state to obtain documentation that advertised escorts are at least 18 years old," and also mentions the fact that the ongoing controversy forced "two private equity firms, GS Capital Partners III (run by Goldman Sachs) and Trimaran Capital Partners, [decided] to sell their interests in Village Voice Media back to VVM."
The report also mentions, however, that "The U.S. Communications Decency Act protects publishers of online advertising posted directly by advertisers if the ads have not been reviewed before they appear online—even if they promote prostitution or include illegal references to discrimination in housing, for example."
Of equal interest, the AIM report analyzed revenue derived from prostitution ads in 23 American cities, and studied 24 websites that either "sell listings or prostitution in other ways."
According to the collected data, "Of those 24, we are able to compute revenue based on the number of listings and published advertising rates for six—Backpage.com, Eros.com, CityVible.com, MyRedbook.com, Escorts.com (which closed June 1, 2011) and AdultSearch.com.
"We can also count listings on three additional sites—NaughtyReviews.com, Eccie.com, and A1List.net (which stopped publishing ads in July).
"For the remaining 15, we track only unique visitors because the other data is not publicly available or because the sites have so little traffic that their revenues or listings would be insignificant. Those sites are TheEroticReview.com, Sipsap.com, Preferred411.com, SexyEscortAds.com, BigDoggie.net, LocalEscortPages.com, HotLocalEscorts.com, MyProviderGuide.com, TNABoard.com, FindHotEscorts.com, EscortGuide.com, EroticServicesGuide.com, EpicDreams.com, Escortme.com, and BarebackEscorts.com."
The numbers provide a fascinating glimpse into the not-so-netherworld of online prostitution and escort ads, and highlight the prominence of Backpage.com in the pecking order.
For instance, of the top ten most-visited sites in March, Backpage.com dominated with 3,364,762 unique visitors (an 8.1 percent increase from the previous month), with the second place finisher, AdultSearch.com, claiming 746,300 uniques, for a 20 percent increase. The third place finisher, The Erotic Review.com, had only 296,902 unique visitors in March, an increase of 8.2 percent, and the numbers decrease thereafter until the 10th place finisher, TNABoard.com, which had only 88,356 visitors in March, but could claim an increase of 38.6 percent over the previous month.
The report also provides monthly revenue estimates derived from prostitution ads from April 2011 for the top six earning sites, with Backpage.com once again leading the pack.
Of course, despite the fact that Backpage.com is regularly accused of being the leading destination for sex-trafficked minors in the country, the service insists that the vast majority of ads are placed legally by adults, and it continues to contend that closing the adult services sections will hamper the ability of law enforcement to identify and prosecute criminals who abuse minors in this manner. The incessant calls for VVM to close the sections, however, will no doubt continue to increase in number and volume.

Hey Girl~I confess like all shinny things...sunshine has got me a tad distracted. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we act like children hopped up on sugar. Giddy out of our heads!! We're down to the last few weeks, so I'm spending more time out than at my laptop.
I had to stop by and see what culinary muffin tin magic you've been up to. Dessert first...can't top that! Pass me the shrimp linguine!
Sweet wishes,

Hmmmm...I'm thinking your kids must have burnt the house down in a sugar-induced frenzy. And maybe More Than Mommy's house too. You girls are MIA & I'm getting a little worried. OK, maybe not that worried, but it sounded like a nice thing to say.

No! Be very careful with feeding and supplementing such a young horse. Do not be tempted to overfeed as it will give him very bad joints, at this age it is better to be under weight a little than overweight. Give him hay if he's not out, and feed him with a little sugar beet and either some apple chaff or alfalfa in it - not too much though. There's a lot of useful info on the internet about feeding foals and it would be worth your while to study it, either that or email one of the feed companies for advice. I got my filly at 4 months and she got half a scoop of apple chaff and half a scoop of sugar beet twice a day, the amount of which was gradually increased as she got older. She's now 2 and she still only gets small feeds consisting of two small scoops sugar beet and one small scoop alfa a oil twice a day, she gets ad lib haylage, and she's a good weight and shining.
thank u xx

Planet Earth reaches its most distant point from the sun for 2016 on July 4, at 16:24 Universal Time. That's 11:24 a.m. Central Daylight Time in the U.S. Given that Earth is farthest from the sun every year in early July, then why is it so hot outside for us in the N. Hemisphere?
Earth reaches its farthest point only temporarily because our world's orbit is not quite circular. We're not that much farther away from the sun in early July than we are at other times of the year. Today, we're about three million miles (five million kilometers) farther from the sun than we will be six months from now. That's in contrast to our average distance from the sun of about 93 million miles (150 million km).
Astronomers call this point in Earth's orbit its aphelion. The word aphelion comes from the Greek words apo meaning away, off, apart and helios (for the Greek god of the sun). Apart from the sun. That's us, today.
Looking for Earth's exact distance from the sun at aphelion? It's 94,512,904 miles (152,103,776 kilometers). Last year, on July 6, 2015, the Earth at aphelion was a tiny bit closer, at 94,506,506 miles (152,093,481 km).
Help support posts like these at the EarthSky store. Fun astronomy gifts and tools for all ages!
Why is it so hot outside for us in the N. Hemisphere? We're always farthest from the sun in early July during a N. Hemisphere summer – and closest in January during a N. Hemisphere winter – and that's a good illustration of the fact that it's not the Earth's distance from the sun that creates the seasons on our world.
Instead, the seasons result from Earth's tilt on its axis. Right now, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere because the northern part of Earth is tilted most toward the sun.
Meanwhile, it's winter in the S. Hemisphere because the southern part of Earth is tilted most away from the sun.
Okay? Earth's varying distance from the sun doesn't create the seasons. But it does affect the length of the seasons. That's because, at our farthest from the sun, like now, Earth is traveling most slowly in its orbit. That makes summer the longest season in the N. Hemisphere and winter the longest season on the southern half of the globe.
Conversely, winter is the shortest season in the N. Hemisphere and summer is the shortest in the S. Hemisphere – in each instance, by nearly 5 days.
Happy Earth independence day, y'all!
Bottom line: Planet Earth reaches its most distant point from the sun for 2016 on July 4 at 16:24 Universal Time. That's 11:24 a.m. Central Daylight Time on July 4, here in the U.S. Astronomers call this yearly point in Earth's orbit our aphelion.

According to an April 3, 2014 ESPN report, Venus Williams had to dig deep to earn a date with Eugenie Bouchard in the third round of the Family Circle Cup 2014, which will be streaming live on ESPN3 and has a TV scheduled start time of 1 p.m. EST (12 p.m. CST) on ESPN2.
Billie Jean King Stadium Court at the Family Circle Tennis Center in Charleston, S.C., will be the site for this terrific clay-court showdown between the 11th seeded American and the No.6 Canadian.
It's going to be interesting to see how the seven-time Grand Slam champion bounces back from a grueling match against Chanelle Scheepers that lasted almost 2 hours. After coming away with a 7-5, 7-5 victory, Williams spoke about her recent struggles with Sjogren's syndrome.
"I'm still dealing with the bug, but my goal is just to hang in there until it hopefully goes away and then I can just continue to play my way into the tournament and play stronger," she said. "But it's definitely a challenge."
According to tennis oddsmakers, Venus Williams will have to defy the odds in order to advance to the next round of the Family Circle Cup 2014. Moments before the start of the match, Williams is listed as a +140 underdog against Eugenie Bouchard [-160], while the OVER/UNDER is set at a combined total of 21½ games.
This will only be the second time Venus and Bouchard have crossed paths in their careers. The 33-year-old American comes in with a 1-0 lead over the 20-year-old Canadian, with their only meeting coming last year in Tokyo, Japan. After losing a second-set tiebreak, Venus closed things out by a final score of 6-3, 6-7, 6-3.
Don't miss what is sure to be a very entertaining match between two of the best players in the world. Watch Venus Williams battle Eugenie Bouchard in the Family Circle Cup 2014 (Round of 16) live on ESPN2 at 1 p.m. EST. You can't get to a television? Thanks to ESPN's family of networks, that's not a problem at all. Simply click here to stream this tennis match live on a desktop and a number of (Internet) mobile devices.

We asked our respondents how important they thought social software would be to their organization's success in meeting eight specific business challenges over the next two years. (See Figure 8.) The top two business challenges that could be addressed by social software were managing customer relationships and innovating for competitive differentiation.
The importance of marketing and innovation to an organization is difficult to overstate. According to management theorist Peter Drucker, "Because it is its purpose to create a customer, business has two — and only two — functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation create value; all the rest are costs."12
But marketing and innovation are just the start of the value story for social business. In our interviews with thought leaders and executives, we also found that operations and leadership are benefiting from social tools. These four areas — marketing, innovation, operations and leadership — are where social business is creating significant opportunity and, for some companies, significant value.13 Using social tools for marketing is not the be-all or end-all of social business: it is a component of the overall value that social business can deliver.
Figure 8
The Importance of Social Software in Meeting Challenges
Organizations are using social software, social media and social networking to improve their relationship with customers in a number of ways: monitoring online communities; creating and supporting virtual communities; developing new communication channels; and fostering a wide range of customer engagements, including coupons, contests and other sponsored events. With their social business activities, enterprises have been able to enhance their understanding of and engagement with their customers. At the same time, customers, vendors and suppliers are clearly willing to engage with business in online social forums. In particular, product fan sites have proliferated across the Web, increasing the visibility of influencers and a core customer base.
McDonald's In 2010, McDonald's launched McRib, a limited-time-offer sandwich. It quickly developed a loyal fan base that was "raving about the product in social media," according to Rick Wion, the company's director of social media:
When we saw these superfans, we decided to use social media to engage with them.
