What do you support?
I jokingly support Delia (Pokemon) & Goku (DBZ) because I like to joke that Goku is Ash's dad because of how similar they are.
What do you support?
I jokingly support Delia (Pokemon) & Goku (DBZ) because I like to joke that Goku is Ash's dad because of how similar they are.
There's only one I support, and I do support it seriously, though it is really "WTF" without knowing the background behind it.
I totally support Cloud Strife (FF7) and Blues (Protoman from the classic Megaman series). And explaining why is going back ten years and revisiting painful RPG memories, but it just /worked/...in a really stupidly dysfunctional way. Proper storytelling, we didn't not yet possess.
Told you it was WTF.
Yaoi is a genre of homosexuality, not a synonym for it!

I love crossovers. I find myself kinda fascinated with them. The first crossover pairing I supported was Kari (digimon) x Misty. I don't really remember how I came to support it, it just happened to take my fancy. I do remember it was the second girl x girl pair I ever supported.
Another one that takes my fancy is Phoenix Wright x Delia Ketchum.
i support several different crossovers. in fact my current otp is crossover:ben(from ben10:alien force)/raven(from teen titans)
My crossover OTP or just plain favorite is Mewtwo x Bagi from a slightly-obscure anime movie called "Bagi the Monster of Mighty Nature"; they have a lot of similarities such as being born in labs and etc. Unfortunately one would have to twist both series into a huge AU for it to work outside of fanart, but oh well.
I also like Lucario x Renamon and Mewtwo x Renamon. *shrug* For non-Pokemon, Hans from Bloody Roar x Renamon because that's just plain wrong. 8D
(Lyrics from "Bumaye" by KMFDM)
Come by and visit my friend's site, Mystic Wish!
(we accept fanfiction of all ratings and any fandom....yes, even yours)
I <3 Penguinshipping ^_^
^ I can definitely see Lucario x Renamon!
I've only really thought of one I liked, and that was Ragiuku (Bleach) x Tsunade (Naruto). They're both drunks IIRC XD
EDIT: Oh yeah, another one. Neku (The World Ends with You) x Moka (Rosario + Vampire). For some reason, I can see them together. Oh, and I mean pink haired Moka.

If I had an crossover pairings it would mostly be
Ash/Tokine Thinking about how these guys react to each other will be funny
There are some reason that I really love crossovers. I used to like Kei Takashima x Misaki (Maid-Sama!) o with Haruhi ( Ouran High School Host Club). I also like Hikari Hanazono (Special A) x Usui Takumi (Maid-sama!).
✿If I have any worth, it is to live my LIFE for GOD✿
|| Multishipper || cr:baekhundred || #bumped || In
lets see
Blue X Saiyuri (Pokemon X Digimon)
Masaru Daimon X Yellow (Digimon X Pokemon)
and in away its a crossover
Mitsumi X Platinum (Pokemon DPA X Pokemon ADP)
I am both a fan of Digimon and Pokemon, deal with it...fans needs to get along
Digimon club
Cassandra x Elina (Soul Calibur x Queen's Blade)
Ash x Apricot (Pokemon x Galaxy Angel II)
Kira x Priscilla (Gundam SEED x GunxSword)
Samus x Nova (Metroid x Starcraft)
I ship only one pairing. Not only is it a crossover pairing, but it is also derived from a fanfic I am working on (though at the moment, I'm having a writer's block).
Link (Legend of Zelda) x Starfire (Teen Titans (Cartoon))
I have a reason for shipping them, I just don't feel like explaining it now.
Though it does have to do with the fact that I completely despise the whole RobxStar pairing....with GREAT intensity!
Actually to be honest, I think I may be the only person on the entire planet who ships those two.

Cloud Strife (FF7) x Terra (FF6) (Although I only started because of their interaction in Dissidia.)

Finally I can post here. As of now I only support two crossover ships and they are...
Latios (Pokemon)/Amy (Sonic the Hedgehog) - My OTCP! I like these two because for one, Latios is kinda like Sonic in some ways. Besides from him being blue and fast, he's an I-dont-care-what-you-think-of-me kinda guy and like Sonic, gets upset when he sees his loved ones in trouble. Only difference between them is that Latios is more of a no-nonsense guy, and he's verrry serious and protective whilst Sonic is more carefree and likes to try to have fun whatever he does.
Amy comes in because she wants to be with Sonic, but Sonic doesn't want to be tied down. He wants to have fun and be a kid. She also confuses other characters for Sonic himself which kinda brings me to Latios. I can see them liking each other the same way it was hinted with Amy and Shadow. I don't know, because Latios is alot like Sonic but more serious and protective I'd figure that she'd be attracted to him. Latios would probably be attracted to her to, also considering that she's kinda like his little sister. Because of that, he'd protect the young girl eh?
Gothitelle (Pokemon)/Silver (Sonic the Hedgehog) - it's more than just "these characters are badass and I love em" kinda thing. I think they have potential and have alot in common. They are both underestimated, both disliked greatly and both have psychic powers. Only difference is that Gothitelle would be the smarter and more dominant one.
I have fallen hard for Black Rock Shooter x Rin Okumura (Ao no Exorcist). Their color schemes and ability to produce blue flames makes this a pleasing couple to look at, but the idea of them interacting is just... <3 Plus they're both badasses haha.
I also like Homura Akemi (Madoka Magica) x Cheren. It was mainly because of this crossover fic (which is brilliantly written btw) that got me thinking about the pairing, even if the fic itself ended up with Homura x Madoka/Cheren x N, but the similarities in looks between Homura and Cheren is uncanny... So I thought "Hey, why not ship them?" and so I did.

All of the following are Pokemon X Sonic the Hedgehog crossovers that I came up with and support:
NuvemaHillShipping:Hilda & Sonic the Hedgehog. Currently my crossover OTP!
ChaosEmeraldShipping:Mei (B2 & W2 female protag) & Sonic the Hedgehog.
DarkHallMatronShipping:Argenta & Shadow the Hedgehog.
DeviousProfessorShipping:Professor Aurea Juniper & Dr. Eggman.
Every shipping except the one with Eggman in it is a special friendship! But the last one is for the laughs. I have my reasons for shipping them, but I don't feel like explaining it right now!
EDIT:I want to share a few more that I came up with:
TrueBlueShipping:Clair & Sonic the Hedgehog.
TwoTailedBlondeShipping:Bianca (BW) & Miles "Tails" Prower.
OrangeBookwormShipping:Shauntal & Miles "Tails" Prower.

But you have to admit, for a part-time Nazi
He's freaking hot.
Professor Layton (...Professor Layton) x Cynthia (Pokémon). I dunno why, it's just that they have pretty similar interests (if you call mythology and archeology similar =p), and... yeah.
Iris (Pokemon) x Sho Kurusu (Uta No Prince Sama) = pink couple
Bianca (Pokemon BW) x Natsuki Shinomiya (Uta No Prince Sama) = due to their fondness with cute things
Georgia (Pokemon) x Masato Hijirikawa (Uta No Prince Sama)

My New favorite Crossover Shipping (And WTF) Is Zazie Rainyday (Negima) X N (Pokemon) Yes, the silent clown girl is the Dominant one. (Well, she is a demon, so...)
Some others I support are
Houjou Reisuke (Mirai Nikki)/Nietzche (Yggdra Union) They're Little Kids, Bad-Arse Adorables, can kill you in seconds, and she's a Mermaid Loli.
Hanbei (SW3/Conquest)/Roswell Branthese (Yggdra Union) My two favorite Characters... EVER
Gasai Yuno(Mirai Nikki) x Outer!Moka (Rosario+Vampire) x Inner!Moka (Rosario+Vampire) Let's take two Yanderes (I believe Outer Moka is a Yandere), ship them together, and put one of them's Inner Selves who isn't one into the mix to keep sanity levels.
Lucas (Mother 3)/Nessiah Aeries Artwaltz (Yggdra Union) Did I mentioned I support shippings from all across the spectrum? Well, this is to prove it, both can use Magic, both have had a horrible childhood, they're blonds, one iss bound in chains, and they hate something with a burning passion.
Sakura Haruno (Naruto)/Peach Toadstool (Mario) I just have to have a Yuri Crack Pairing, and this is it. They seem so cute together.
I'm just a wandering spirit, dead and gone
A blank void, empty as can be

How about Ash (Pokemon) and Rica (Digimon Tamer) ????
I'm a big crossover shipping fan. So, here we go...

Ash x Maria U. (Umineko no Naku Koro ni)

I'm not really into crossover pairings, as I prefer my couples to interact with each other, but one that I do like is Tamaki Suoh (Ouran High School Host Club) and Cilan (from Pokemon). My two favourite anime guys paired together sounds like absolute heaven and they're so fabulous, it could totally work ;D
Ash X Sara (Pokemon) X (Digimon)

The name shows the way: the "E" of "Electro" and "labo" of "Laboratory" – "Elabo". The company founders, Heinrich Decker and Egon Lauton, used this name to assert their claim to competence. And indeed, development labs and the quality assurance labs of the electronics industry were Elabo's first large clients for which it developed – and still does – integrated system solutions: ergonomically conceived workstations with fully integrated electronics devices that mainly originate from Elabo's own product development.
Shortly after the initial success, there was strong demand from training institutions in the electrical sector. A lab trainee programme was devised, specially tailored to the didactic tasks and demands of the every-day training routine. The "Lab" application area was then merged into the larger area of "Quality Assurance".
Elabo entered production-integrated quality testing – first by developing and producing special test equipment, then by engineering individual client solutions.
Have a look on our 39 years of success: Just click here.
Elabo introduces the Elabo EHP Net+Lab that combines network technology and user software into one integrated system – a solution that is unparalleled in the business.
|Since 2000…
At the beginning of the new decade, Elabo met the challenge of significantly increased demand by completely modernising its company structures. The number of competitors quadrupled. The supply market developed an unprecedented capacity. Technological development in IT and CT almost took on revolutionary dimensions. Great challenges accompanied great opportunities. In the wake of those changes, Elabo devolved from a medium-sized company to a modern, efficiently organized and very flexible industrial company and integrated service provider.
Since 1995, Elabo has been a member of the Euromicron Group. Elabo's affiliated companies include developers, producers, and distributors in the areas of network technology, safety technology, and fibre optics technology.
|Since 1980…
Elabo started its engineering and special purpose machine construction for fully and semi-automated test systems in the electronics industry in the early eighties. Since then, Elabo has developed into one of the internationally leading providers in this competence area.
|From 1972 on…
Elabo stands for more than 35 years of experience in electronics and electrical engineering. As one of its pioneers, Elabo early on set the standards with regard to equipping laboratories and special rooms for the electrical industry and for qualified training. The modular InForm technical workstation system introduced in 1992 is one of Elabo's groundbreaking developments.

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. -- The collision was as common as any in racing. Kevin Ward Jr.'s car spun twice like a top, wheels hugging the wall, before it plopped backward on the dimly lit dirt track.
In a sport steeped with bravado, what happened next was another familiar, but treacherous, move: Ward, 20, climbed out of the winged car into the night and defiantly walked onto the track at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.
He gestured, making his disgust evident with the driver who triggered the wreck with a bump: three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.
Ward was nearly hit by another passing car as he pointed with his right arm in Stewart's direction. As he confronted Stewart in his passing car, disaster struck.
Ward was standing to the right of Stewart's No. 14 sprint car, which seemed to fishtail from the rear and hit him. According to video and witness accounts, Ward's body was sucked underneath the car and hurtled through the air before landing on his back.
Ward was killed. Stewart, after initially planning to compete in Sunday's NASCAR race at Watkins Glen, dropped out hours after Saturday's crash. And the sport was left reeling from a tragedy that could have ripple effects from the biggest stock car series down to weeknight dirt track racing.
"There aren't words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr.," Stewart said in a statement.
Authorities questioned Stewart, 43, once Saturday night and went to Watkins Glen to talk to him again Sunday. They described him as "visibly shaken" after the crash and said he was cooperative.
On Sunday, Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said investigators also don't have any evidence to support criminal intent, but he also said criminal charges have not been ruled out.
The crash raised several questions: Will Ward's death cause drivers to think twice about on-track confrontations? Did Stewart try to send his own message by buzzing Ward? Or did Ward simply take his life into his own hands by stepping into traffic in a black firesuit on a dark track?
The only one who might have that answer is Stewart.
The sheriff renewed a plea for spectators to turn over photos and videos of the crash. Investigators were reconstructing the accident and looking into everything from the dim lighting on a portion of the track to how muddy it was, as well as if Ward's dark firesuit played a role in his death, given the conditions.
Driver Cory Sparks, a friend of Ward's, was a few cars back when Ward was killed.
"The timing was unsafe," he said of Ward's decision to get out of his car to confront Stewart. "When your adrenaline is going, and you're taken out of a race, your emotions flare."
It's often just a part of racing. Drivers from mild-mannered Jeff Gordon to Danica Patrick have erupted in anger on the track at another driver. The confrontations are part of the sport's allure: Fans love it and cheer wildly from the stands. Stewart, who has a reputation for being a hothead nicknamed "Smoke," once wound up like a pitcher and tossed his helmet like a fastball at Matt Kenseth's windshield.
The crash also raised questions about whether Stewart will continue with his hobby of racing on small tracks on the side. He has long defended his participation in racing on tracks like the one where the crash happened.
Saturday's crash came almost exactly a year after Stewart suffered a compound fracture to his right leg in a sprint car race in Iowa. Stewart returned to sprint track racing only last month.

What kind of shape is the course in after all the rain? Haven't been there for about a week and was thinking about coming over tonight. Do I need galoshes or has it dried out a bit? Pickard is quite sloppy in some spots but still is playable. I live in Indianola and don't want to drive over there just to find out the course is now Windflower Lake.

SEATTLE -- Coming off a loss that Chris Wondolowski deemed "embarrassing," the Earthquakes stepped on the CenturyLink Field pitch Wednesday night with something to prove.
Trailing by a goal in the second half, it was the Quakes forward who helped his team atone for last week's loss to FC Dallas -- the most lopsided MLS defeat in club history.
Wondolowski tapped in a goal in the 65th minute as San Jose (6-9-7) preserved a 1-1 tie against Seattle (13-7-3) in front of an announced crowd of 38,909.
"Any time you lose at home like that (5-0 to FC Dallas on Saturday) you have a bit of a chip on your shoulder," Wondolowski said. "I'm grateful we didn't have all week to dwell on it. We had a game to try and right the ship. This is a tough place to play and, to get a point, we'll take it."
It's been a struggle for the Quakes on the road this season, but they were able to create some early offensive chances in the first stop of a two-match road swing.
"I thought it was a good performance," San Jose coach Mark Watson said. "We knew it was a tough place to play. Seattle is a good team with a lot of quality players, and I thought we played well."
The Quakes learned earlier Wednesday that Matias Perez Garcia will miss four to six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a knee injury that he sustained against FC Dallas.
Tommy Thompson replaced Garcia in the lineup and got his foot on the ball in front of the net in the 30th minute, forcing Sounders FC goalkeeper Stefan Frei to make a sliding save.
"Tommy did well tonight," Watson said. "It's clear to see he's a real quality player. Overall, I thought it was a great performance. He just turned 19, so he's a young kid. It's his first MLS start. He didn't seem overawed by the occasion."
Sounders FC outshot the Quakes 24-10, but keeper Jon Busch helped keep San Jose in the game. He finished with six saves, including a diving, one-handed stop on a shot from Obafemi Martins in the 43rd minute.
Sounders FC broke the scoreless tie less than a minute into the second half when Martins tapped the ball to Chad Barrett, who was able to slip the ball past Busch and into the far corner of the goal.
Wondolowski tied it, using his knee to redirect a low cross from Cordell Cato that slipped just inside the far post.
"Cordell did a great job," Wondolowski said. "He sent it across the goal mouth and I was able to tap it in."

In Their Own Words – Ten Things That I Wish You Would Accept, No Questions Asked
This "In Their Own Words" essay is written by Lydia Wayman. Lydia is a 22 year old who "resides somewhere on the autism spectrum." Her three favorite things are her service cat, Elsie, her best friend and her mom. She recently wrote and published a book, "Interview with Autism," for parents and caregivers about life on the autism spectrum.
I started blogging almost exactly a year ago as a way to process my circumstances better, as I always process better in writing, and hopefully as a way to demystify autism to parents and caregivers of those on the spectrum. I realized long ago that some people seem to have a knack for handling my quirks, while others … don't. This list, "Ten Things That I Wish You Would Accept, No Questions Asked," arose from considering the things that the most positive people in my life have always done, while also thinking about what some not-so-positive people consistently do that causes a problem. I can't speak to the truth of these statements for everyone on the spectrum, but I am guessing that there are many commonalities amongst us when it comes to these matters.
1. I can be surprisingly good at one thing (say, remembering conversations precisely as they happened many years after the fact) and surprisingly bad at another thing that you might think should be so much easier (like keeping track of receipts or remembering the procedure for filling a prescription).
2. Just because I have the words to type it does not mean that I have the words to say it.
3. I really do hate to melt down, especially in public. If there were another way out, I would always take it.
4. I never play stupid. If I ask a question or say I don't get it, it means I don't get it. Please don't make me feel dumber by saying that I'm faking it, just because it seems straightforward.
5. What may be slightly bothersome to you, like the waistband on a pair of pants, can cause me to be a witch all day … or at least until I change clothes. If I'm crabby, it's because something is physically uncomfortable in the sensory realm of things. Until that thing changes, I will continue to be crabby.
6. I can't control my excitement over cats. So if you mention cats or point out a cat, realize that I'm going to get excited. Let me enjoy it. A little happiness never hurt anyone, eh?
7. I am often completely unaware of self-injurious behaviors. I scratch, hit, bite, and pick often, and much more frequently when I'm agitated for some reason. In the moment, I don't know that I'm doing it; if made aware, it's so compulsive that I almost physically can't stop myself. But using my head, obviously I don't like the results of it.
8. I am exactly the same person inside regardless of how engaged (or disengaged) I am with the environment and others in it. Yes, you might have to change some things based on how I'm reacting in that moment, but please continue to treat me like the same person that I am.
9. Engagement and happiness do not depend on one another! I can be just as happy off in my own world as I am fully engaged with you. However, a lot depends on you, here. If I'm disengaged and you're forcing me to "act normal," then no, I don't feel very happy. If you're interacting with me in a way that I can in that moment, then I can be as happy as I've ever been.
10. While autism does mean that I am absorbed within myself (aut means self, after all), that doesn't mean that I don't want you around. If you can come to me, rather than forcing me out of my world to come to you, then I'd love to let you in. There's a whole world in here; maybe you should check it out.

Thank you… I know in my heart that these (your) words would be my son's if only he could express himself better… thank you, thank you, thank you
July 30, 2010 at 10:08 am
… just re-reading #9… my biggest lesson from my son has been this fact… you explain it well. My (and the neuro-typical world's) definition of happiness is not necessarily his… I wish I could explain this better to "others". Thank you once again…
July 30, 2010 at 10:35 am
What a well spoken young lady! This article is such a gift to those of us who live and/or work with non-verbal persons on the spectrum!
July 30, 2010 at 11:28 am
Wow. What an affirmation of what I try to do right for my son and an eyeopener on things I need to always remember. I am so happy that you found a way to be able to "say" things to make people understand. I pray my son finds his voice…whether it be vocal or written or signed or illustrated so that he has a way to be able to make people understand him on his terms, rather than us trying to make him understand everything on ours. Thank you. And a question, I often just let my son "be"…I trust that when he needs to, he will come to me. For you, would this be the right approach?
July 30, 2010 at 11:41 am
Hi Lydia, I wish my son Alan and I knew you. Thank you for taking the time to write this. I know you speak for many others with autism, my son included. He is also 22 and expresses himself well, but not as completely as you. I love cats too. I have all my life. If twelve people are in a room with a cat, I will pet the cat first!
July 30, 2010 at 11:47 am
Thank you so much for sharing that. I have a teenage son on the spectrum, and I suspect I reside somewhere there myself. I know both of us feel a lot in common with what you wrote, and I am impressed with how well you manage to put everything. Please keep writing and sharing.
P.S. WE have three cats, and I think they make wonderful, accepting companions.
July 30, 2010 at 11:59 am
Thank you I never thought about my daughters world but only how to make my world better for her. I can not wait to see her world, on her terms. Thank you againfor the insight.
July 30, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Really well written!
July 30, 2010 at 1:22 pm
My grandaughter is just 9. My son is going through a divorse. He gets the girls 3 weekends a month. I would like to hear from others who have a child autistic and been through divorse. How it affects them.
July 31, 2010 at 6:05 pm
ihave asperger syndrome my son has autism, i dedicated my life 2 my son as i myself was in his world therefore i treated him as a normal human being. I did not realise how my children were affected by my aspergers. The past few years have been very tramatic for me and every1 around me. I got divorced but still i felt i could ring my ex husband i felt like nothing had or should change, i could no longer look after my son without my ex husbands help. He lives with his dad there is not a single day i do not want my life 2 be like it was before. I do feel lost and confused and angry!! If you meet me me i come across as selfish uncaring but i do feel every emotion for someone that is sad i just find it hard expressing this.
August 18, 2010 at 3:42 pm
I am a 21 year old with Aspergers my parents got a divorce about 10 years ago. it has taken me a while to adjust and adapt to that change and the changes that have come up over the years due to their divorce. the hardest part was and still is handling the stress and change of going from house to another and adjusting to the houses environment both physically and emotionally.
August 21, 2010 at 8:41 pm
My son is five years old and has Autism. His father and I have been divorced for two years and it is not easy for him to do the go back and forth thing. At times I feel he adjusts well to the transition, then at other times he acts out and I know why. He is sad that he can't be with both of us and knows he has to go without one of us from now on. He usually comes home (our house) and either that night or the following day he will tantrum. It may be from his brother turning on a light switch because in his view, only he can turn lights on and off. And, boy does he at times, over and over. It may be from talking on the phone to his dad that night after coming back, it just depends on his mood. Whatever, the case if he really wanted to say what he felt he would say, "I love my dad and miss him when I'm not with him and I love my mom and miss her when I'm not with her!" He recently has had breakthroughs where he will get upset and start to cry and I'll ask why are you sad? He has responded, "DAD!" It breaks my heart and fills my heart with joy at the same time, he is expressing himself but nonetheless hurts as all humans do. I love my son to death and I am always communicating with his father about being on the same page with his needs (triggers that set him off, routines, and allowing extra time for everything). I wouldn't want any other son in the whole world!
July 30, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Dear Lydia,
I am writing this comment to support you because you are truly a wonderful writer who is able to become the words of so many people. Keep expressing yourself exactly in the manner I have read today. Being a teacher of many students who are "somewhere in the spectrum of autism", I have witnessed through conversations and classroom experiences an idea of their feelings. You with your gift of writing, has done a wonderful job explaining these feelings. A+ Lydia
July 30, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Thank you so much for this! I wish ALL people could understand this, it's so hard dealing with people who just can't and just wont understand. Both of my sons are autistic one non verbal and I know that if he could speak these would be his words. Thank you again so much!
July 30, 2010 at 2:26 pm
So well written Lydia. I really enjoyed learning about your perspective. Beautifully explained.
Sometimes I cannot control my excitement over cats either. Our cat is my son's constant companion when he is home.
July 30, 2010 at 2:58 pm
What great insight you give us, the people that love and care for someone with Autism. Thank you
July 30, 2010 at 3:11 pm
What an amazing post! Thank you for sharing your "10 Things". I will strive to act on them everyday.
July 30, 2010 at 6:46 pm
Where can we buy this book?
July 30, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Soo happy that you put this out there… I can't wait to tryy and enter my son's world.
July 30, 2010 at 10:02 pm
I feel the same way. I cant control myself when i see cats either. I have two gorgeous little ones and they make everything worthwhile. They don't judge, they just comfort you and purr as you comfort them.
July 30, 2010 at 10:44 pm
You have a beautiful cat! Thank you for your heartfelt words. It's good to remember there are always two sides to every coin. I bookmarked your list to check back with the school year. Take care. Hope your week is a great one.
July 30, 2010 at 11:22 pm
Thank you, Lydia, for your profound insight and eloquent words. As a mother of two children who reside on opposite sides of the autistic spectrum, your willingness to share your experiences is priceless to me. I'm very appreciative! Leah Ashe
July 30, 2010 at 11:46 pm
Lydia your words hit home. Listening to your words and thinking of my great grandson lets me understand him so much better. Thank You from the bottom of my heart
July 31, 2010 at 1:34 am
Oh Wow! Thank you. Kind of causes me to tear up. It gives me insight into my high funcitioning 11 year old son…and though I felt some quilt at my doing some of the negative things you expressed, I'm going to work harder to let me be the best him. It's just so hard, because on the outside nothing looks different about him from other children his age. I realize now, he's trying…and after all he really is a sweet and amazing boy. I just need to try a little harder not to control him and try and get him to act "normal." I'm so grateful I came across your words on facebook.
July 31, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Amen! You said everything my precious 3-year-old feels but can't verbally express.
July 31, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Thank you Lydia for your beautifully written words. You are a wonderful writer. Working with autistic children each and everyday can sometimes be challenging. I don't always totally understand what they are trying to convey to me in certain situations. You have enlightened me. Thank you very much. I too enjoy cats very much! Your's is very beautiful.
July 31, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Lydia, thank you for your words.Our family has a better insight into the "non-negotiable" items in your life & others in the spectrum. You gave my brother a voice he has never had. I shall follow your advice & pray that others can do the same.
August 3, 2010 at 9:41 pm
I am so grateful to you for writing this! I've never personally known someone who had autism so I've never really informed myself with any of this but my 2 year old has not been fully diagnosed but I'm told he may be on the spectrum. So I've dived in head first into this spectacular world of Autism and have been reading everything I can to better help my son. But your story has been the first that has given me an in depth look from a person who is dealing with this disorder. Since my baby is only 2 he can not tell me what he is thinking and feeling so Thank You for letting me in to your thought!!!
August 6, 2010 at 8:36 am
Cats saved my life when I was a kid. For many years, I felt that the only ones in the world who were happy to see me, and accepted me as I was, were our family cats. Without them I don't know how I would have lived through it.
August 6, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Lydia, I love these "In Their Own Words" articles and I truly enjoyed reading your story. I have a 4 year old son with autism and everyday I am learning about what are the things that make him happy, the things that don't, and where is the in-between. IT IS YOUR POINT OF VIEW, YOUR PERSPECTIVE AND YOUR ABILITY TO WRITE ABOUT IT ALL SO WELL THAT HELPS PARENTS LIKE ME UNDERSTAND MY CHILD BETTER. THANK YOU!
August 6, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Lydia, you are a fantastic writer! You remind me of me – I was in my teens when I discovered that writing was not only my refuge, but also the one way I could actually express what I meant. I was good at it – still am. You, Lydia, clearly have a gift – eloquent, articulate, beautiful, meaningful… I so look forward to reading your first book – and I'll absolutely be watching for more!
Your message with this piece – yes! Yes!! YES!!! It's what I wish I could've said to my dad when I was younger (not diagnosed, though friends have long noted tendencies); and what I've tried several times to express to him about my son (10, high on the spectrum). It's his fear of what other people might think that keeps him in a place of not accepting… and it's sad – mostly for him, though, because my son and I are happier than many families with 2 parents and no "special needs" child. (to which I want to say, "YEAH!")
I'm going to print your article and pass it along to my dad and his wife. Maybe they'll read it, maybe they won't, but I'm choosing to give them the opportunity to open up to possibility.
Write ON, Lydia!
August 6, 2010 at 10:57 pm
You made my day (night too!). Thank you for perfectly articulating your list in writing. I would love to spend a day in my son's world~ your world too!
August 7, 2010 at 1:07 am
1. I'm young adult with Asperger's Syndrome. Also have hearing loss and use signed language.
2. I have good reading skills, at my own pace. I understand you.
3. Sometimes have trouble sharing my world and wish others can see it too. My signing can help because it is very visual way when my speaking words are not able to do it, or if just no English words, I can usually express myself in American Sign Language (ASL) as it is different.
4. Sometimes I deal with my autism by posting signs on my door with options about how I'm feeling: overall today, and: how I'm feeling at the moment.
5. I see how it can come in handy to let people know ahead of time about things about me. I like that idea, same as you here telling about the 10 things. Thank you. I see you expand on it nicely. I'll try that.
6. Yes, people asking questions about how I am is hard sometimes.
7. I have a worker that I hang out with and do life-skills stuff with. She signs ASL too, so I can let her in my world. I recommend to our readers that they maybe try some ASL with their family, friends, workers, etc.
8. This is my only question part: Do you have other suggustions for when I'm not at home? How do you tend to manage?
9. Yes, cats are exciting creatures! I have much adoration for them and have one at my parent's, whom has healed me many times during melt-downs and doesn't ask me to change who I am. He accepts me and comforts me.
August 7, 2010 at 7:15 am
I am one of many grandmothers raising a grandchild. My grandson has Autism. It has been a struggle financially and emotionally to take care of him. Also, the fact that none of my family really wants him around…..they seem to be afraid that he may hurt one of their children. That is so not true.He is very compasiontate.We do not get invited to a lot of family functions. I find myself overly protecting him. He is a very compasionate child, but can get very angry. I do not know if he realises he is different. My love and compasion is overwhelming. If only people could understand.I love him dearly….and would not have it any other way.
August 8, 2010 at 10:57 am
Hi – I have a question: what do "higher functioning" people with autism think of "lower functioning" ones? I've always had a sense that the higher ones don't consider themselves in the same category, and may, in fact, not even consider them as having autism like themselves. Do the higher ones look down on the lower ones? Please be honest in your response.
August 8, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Thank you so much for your list. I worry so much about my 14 year old Autistic son, and how his life will turn out. I worry that he doesn't have friends like his 14 year old cousin. But in my heart I know all he needs is the love and understanding of his family.
August 8, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Queston maybe not to me, but for input sake:
1. Personally, I don't want anyone to "look down on" anyone else, regardless of status or diagnose of anything. I more just recognize what some of the feelings expressed seem to be. I can relate from reflection of how I feel at times. Yes, "high functioning" people with autism can have "ups and downs/good days and bad days". One Friday a few weeks ago, I was felt absolutely miserable to face people. I just wanted space, nothing "going on" and my dog – (cat is at mom's), that's it. Lucky me, nobody pushed me to have dealings with anyone that day.
2. I am "high functioning" but I know it doesn't change that I do have autism, and I accept it at that.
3. I'm thankful I'm where I'm at, but I know it could have been the other way around. I went through a lot of therapy and everyday life skills practicing to get so far. I still have meetings with my worker every few weeks or at least once a month.
4. When I was little, "the people" said I'd be fortunate to graduate high school and that I'd never make it to college. I've passed high school with honours in grade 12! I've already been in college for 5 years now, passed 2 programs – prerequisites to the 3rd and final program – I'm in and working on it still.
5. Lydia, do you have input? I'd like to know too. More please, if you are up to it.
August 8, 2010 at 5:25 pm
I forgot to add:
1. On a very good day I will chat for hours, either what speaking/hearing I can manage, or signing/watching… often doing both ways in various degrees.
2. Overall, I've been called affectionate and friendly. (Which is that I have more "extrovert/good" days than "introvert/bad" as far as "the people" are concerned.)
3. At least at the end of any given day I will be tired and want bed. Some days being sociable can be quite positive but down-right exhausting. Know what I mean?
August 8, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Oh, I LOVE it! Am copying this and handing out to people on behalf of my son. This is just what I need.
August 16, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Thank you Lydia, you are awesome!
Cats really are fascinating. Now that I read your blog, it made me realize I ignore my cat, so I will spend some time playing with her.

Until CBS stops going for Broke, it may be hard for Mom, one of the season's more promising and pungent new comedies, to get the break it, and the title character, deserves. What's happening to CBS on Monday with its once-dominant comedy lineup is a slow-fade version of the freefall NBC experienced with its Thursday lineup in the wake of Friends. Holding on to shows too long (How I Met Your Mother, which could have wrapped this whole thing way earlier), promoting shows too soon with too little to offer (the shrill and increasingly charmless 2 Broke Girls), making odd decisions like keeping the award-winning Mike & Molly on the shelf in favor of an insta-dud like the abysmal We Are Men, this is one of those rare nights when CBS's programming acumen has mostly crapped out. (Monday's loss is, of course, Thursday's gain, with former Monday anchors The Big Bang Theory and, to a lesser degree these days, the played-out Two and a Half Men helping get early sampling for newbies The Millers and The Crazy Ones.)

Today I had the pleasure of being a guest speaker in my daughter's 2nd grade classroom at Centre School in Hampton, NH. Ms. Colby, my daughter's teacher, runs a program called "Write Around the Community" and parents are invited to talk about how they use writing in their work and live.
As the founder of SeacoastKidsCalendar, I write all the time! So I was excited to have the class help me write a restaurant review about the Old Salt in Hampton, NH. (Originally I had Chuck E. Cheese in mind but the majority of kids had been to Old Salt!)
To start our review, I asked them a bunch of questions and we took a bunch of notes. Using that information, we wrote the review as a team. And let me tell you, these kids really know their restaurants! They were SO EXCITED about writing this review and asked if I was going to post it on SKC? You bet!
Thanks to the parents for having such wonderful children, I was honestly humbled by how gracious, interested and thoughtful they were. Ms. Colby– you're an amazing teacher, thank you for sharing this time with me! And kids…you wonderfully, inspiring, beautiful kids. You made my day, and probably my year. I hope you cultivate a life long love of writing like I have. You guys rock!
So here it is. If you've never been to the Old Salt, please enjoy this review. From the mouths of babes, literally.
Restaurant Review: Old Salt
Written by Ms. Colby's 2nd grade class: Charley, Frank, Tyler, Ana, Phoebe, Cameron, Tate, Cameron, Sarah, Caden, Holly, Abby, Lily, Norah, Brian and Camden (Jason and Brooke were out today, we missed you!)
When you walk in to Old Salt, to your right is the lounge and on the left is the buffet. You can eat inside or outside if the weather is nice. On the menu is popcorn, specials, Shirley Temples, lemonade, fish, mozzarella sticks, and the best of all, the chocolate fountain. They have a Haunted House during Halloween to sponsor Winnacunnet High School. For entertainment, they have comedy shows and parties. You will want to go again and again because the food is really good. If you would like more information, please visit www.oldsaltnh.com.

Waldorf Salad in Lettuce Cups
Makes 8-10 canapes
Note: Instead of tossing the salad with mayonnaise, this cocktail party variation puts the lemony dressing under the apple mixture for visual appeal.
1 Granny Smith apple
Zest and juice of 1 Meyer lemon
2 stalks celery, diced
2 tablespoons red onion, minced
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Fresh dill, minced
Salt, pepper
8 to 10 leaves gem lettuce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Meyer lemon juice, to taste
1/2 teaspoon simple syrup or honey, to taste
1. Cut the unpeeled apple into eighths, remove core and slice into small triangles. Transfer the apples to a nonreactive bowl; sprinkle with some of the Meyer lemon juice to prevent browning. Reserve 1 teaspoon juice for the dressing.
2. Add lemon zest, celery, red onion, walnuts, cranberries and minced dill, to taste, to the apples; toss gently. Season to taste.
3. Stir mayonnaise until smooth. Blend in lemon juice and simple syrup, adjusting proportions to taste. Stir in minced dill, to taste.
4. Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Top each with a small dollop of dressing -- a teaspoon or less -- and some of the apple mixture. Garnish with dill.

Netbeans Mobility 6.9 for MAC OS X
By Karol Harezlak on Mar 30, 2010
Some time ago I blogged about Early Access of Java ME SDK 3.0 for Mac OS X (which is successor of Wireless Toolkit). Currently Java ME SDK 3.0 is stable and developers who use Mac OS X can use it with Netbeans 6.8. In this case it's necessary to separately download Netbeans 6.8, Java ME SDK 3.0 and use Netbeans Update Center to get rest of the Mobility plugins. In release 6.9 we are going to bundle Netbeans Mobility with Java ME SDK 3.0 and officially support Mac OS X as a platform for Java ME developers. If somebody would like to try Netbeans Mobility 6.9 for Mac OS X today then Development build (means not stable!) is available here:
http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/Note: There is a one major difference between Java ME SDK for Windows and Mac OS X - Mac version doesn't support Java ME CDC - only CLDC/MIDP. So if you'd like to write Java ME app for CDC you still have to use Windows.

The Bay Area's design community shines brightest at the annual San Francisco Decorator Showcase, now in its 37th year. And this time its members have hit the gold standard.
"We feel like the last few years were a little transitional, but that the design is really coherent and confident this year," said Jenny Bittner, director for this San Francisco University High School fundraiser, unveiled at an April 23 media preview. The home is open to visitors through May 26.
Bittner worked with a committee of design professionals to select the 30 designers who participated in the 2014 showcase, held at the grand 1907 red brick Presidio Heights estate built for Rose and Alfred Sutro.
"We looked at more than 130 proposals for the 30 spaces," Bittner said. "It's a challenge to find the right mix, but we really try to keep a cohesive flow in the house, while honoring the homeowners' requests."
We spoke with designers of three of the most memorable rooms about how their designs came together and got a "takeaway tip" from each.
Dining room
Cecilia Sagrera-Hill and George Brazil designed the opulent dining room for this event. They had done one room for a previous showcase -- a bedroom-dressing room suite. But when they walked through the house to preview rooms early this year, they decided to propose doing over one of the bigger public rooms.
"The dining room had amazing bones and unique features like the beautiful hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper and the wood, painted in an elegant faux bois (imitating wood grains) pattern. The owners wanted to retain those elements, and we knew they'd provide great inspiration," said Sagrera-Hill.
She and Brazil believe the wallpaper dates back to an installation by legendary San Francisco designer Michael Taylor (1927-86), which meant it was at least 30 years old and in need of some repair. That restoration work and an update of the existing chandelier were the biggest challenges.
"This is often the case in design work," said Brazil. "You usually need to incorporate pieces from a client's existing collection."
To meet the challenges, their firm SagreraBrazil selected textiles and modern art -- including a dramatic infinity mirror with suspended butterflies -- that repeats colors in the wallpaper. They also commissioned hand-painted lamp shades done in a fresh ombre-patterned coral to make the traditional chandelier feel current. Two sculptural torchieres at the end of the room also take the lighting in a more contemporary direction.
Take-away tip: "Use a variety of lighting in a dining room, not just a central chandelier. The torchieres, as well as candles on the table, add warmth and make the whole room feel more inviting," said Sagrera-Hill.
Steven Miller tackled the biggest room in the house -- the kitchen-family room area. Since last participating in a showcase, he has opened The NWBLK design gallery in San Francisco's Mission district. With the idea that participation this year would be a good way to let people know about the firm, he decided to go for the kitchen-family room -- which will be featured in House Beautiful magazine as its Kitchen of the Year.
Miller said, "This was the first time in seven years that the (magazine's) Kitchen of the Year wouldn't be produced in New York City, which was pretty cool. We'd get to partner with high quality sponsors like KraftMaid cabinetry, Whirlpool Appliances and Caesarstone. We knew it would be a tremendous opportunity, if we got it."
Miller's winning design features tall black traditional cabinets, a chevron-patterned tile backsplash in black and gray and a stark white floor. Reflective elements such as mica wallpaper and a custom crystal light fixture, along with a large expanse of windows, keep the kitchen from feeling too dark.
"The room has good exposure to the outdoors on three sides, so I decided that the green foliage would provide the color in the room, along with the people and food that made their way there," Miller said.
Take-away tip: "There's a trend toward traditional detailing offset by transitional design. People love Edwardian molding ... but still want to integrate the latest technology. High contrast between light and dark, like you see in this kitchen, helps the more traditional details feel fresh," Miller said.
The bar
Alameda's Sunny K. Merry designed one of the smallest rooms in the house -- a bawdy bar that she calls "a pre-man cave," created in what was formerly an upstairs closet.
Merry was thrilled to be included in the showcase, since she's relatively new to design and self-taught. "A friend recommended I do it to get my foot in the door," she said.
She envisioned her fictional client as a war veteran who loves women, and so she lined the space with wallpaper that resembles collages of pinup girls.
On one wall, she floated a bar improvised from an old steamer trunk. A pendant light made from a real puffer fish (Merry found it while traveling in Thailand) is suspended in front of an exquisite pink-tinged Art Deco mirror on loan from Juliana Southall of Southall Antiques.
"That's been one of the nicest surprises about this whole thing," said Merry. "The design community has been so generous helping me bring my vision to life. Really, they've been nothing but a delight."
Take-away tip: "The puffer fish pendant represents the one thing that the rest of the family can't stand, but Dad can't bear to get rid of. Objects like this add personality and humor to a design," said Merry.
Other highlights
The 2014 standout designs also include Jonathan Rachman's shimmering entryway, inspired by pop-culture icons Kate Moss and Lorde ("Royals"); Heather Hilliard's mossy-green living room with its stratified plaster walls; and Geoffrey De Sousa's white-on-white library featuring hundreds of unidentifiable, coverless books.
"Our young clients are more likely to read something on a digital device than on paper, so the books are now the wallpaper in the library," said De Sousa.
Then there's Antonio Martins' beautiful blue and white master bedroom, anchored with an heirloom 18th-century bed (from his own family) that's surrounded by large-scale renditions of Portuguese tiles.
Jaimie Belew's elegant spalike master bathroom features a beautiful speckled marble sink. And Lisa Bakamis has created a rosy teenage girl's bathroom.

I have spent a lot of time in the city of South Lake Tahoe since purchasing a home there several years ago and I have noticed a lot of irresponsible dog owners not picking after their dogs. Is it because they are too lazy or is it more complicated than that? I don't really know, maybe it's just as simple as nobody ever told them it is their responsibility as dog owners to pickup after their dogs. I am not a scientist or water quality expert but I can assume that dog feces left on ground will decompose and be washed into the drainage ditches which eventually could end up in that big beautiful lake everyone loves so much myself included. I hope this letter could be the start to some awareness or improvements on this issue. My slogan is "Pick up the brown and keep Tahoe blue" and, if anybody wants to use this slogan for bumper stickers or billboards, please do.

A trip around the A's clubhouse can sound a lot like an FM radio on scan. Here's a sampling of player walk-up music and the reasons behind the choices.
Josh Donaldson, third baseman
"Regulate" by Warren G and Nate Dogg.
"It has a lot of relevance to the Bay Area and it's been a popular song, so that's why I chose it. Plus, if something's working for you, you let it work."
Derek Norris, catcher
"Badmotorfinger" by Soundgarden
"Coming up in the minor leagues with the Nationals, a lot of our owners liked to pick our walk-up songs. So when I got the chance to get one last year, I tried to pick something not too violent, but something that would get me going. I'm a big country guy, but I figured if I put country on, it really wouldn't motivate me for my at-bat. I picked something I don't listen to often, that way it stays pretty fresh."
A.J. Griffin, pitcher
"Illmerica: by Wolfgang Gartner
"I listen to a channel on Sirius Radio called BPM, Beats Per Minute. I heard that song a few years ago and I liked it. I like trance and techno music, I like a lot of music if someone put some time and effort into it and is put together well. That one does it for me."
Coco Crisp, outfielder
"I Ain't No Joke" Eric B. and Rakim
"I really wanted to come out to a dance song, like the Bernie Lean and the Cat Daddy. But there's no good dance songs out right now. So I Ain't No Joke is the one I come out to right now. It's an old school song. It kind of reminds me of the House Party show. It's just a fun kind of melody. Everybody loved the Bernie Lean last year, but since it's a new year, I wanted to do something different."
Eric Sogard, shortstop
"Welcome to the Jungle" Guns 'n Roses
"I've been doing that since high school. I just always liked it. I stuck with it through college and in pro ball everywhere I've played. It's always worked for me. And I like the old school classic rock."
Tommy Milone, pitcher
Untitled original by college friend at USC
"I have a buddy who's into music. He grew up in Marin and the night before my first start last year, he said, 'Let me do your warm-up song.' It's just computer program sounds and beats and it's pretty cool. This year, he's rapping in it. He was working on it pretty much the whole off-season."
Jerry Blevins, reliever
"Sympathy for the Devil" Rolling Stones
"I've had it since I came up, and I think I'll stick with it because we had a good year last year. I'll always pick classic rock. Sympathy for the Devil has always been one of my favorites. It's got a really original, familiar sound."
John Jaso, catcher
"Those Shoes" by The Eagles
"My genre of music is classic rock. I got a Doors album in the eighth grade and then I went to Led Zeppelin IV and kept going. I love the Eagles, too. (Those Shoes) has a pretty good intro on it, and I'd never had the Eagles before. I don't think anybody in our clubhouse knows any Eagles songs except Hotel California."
Chris Young, outfielder
"Reppin' Texas" C. Stone featuring Paul Wall and Trae
"It's kind of a local song (in Houston) and the artists are from my area. So I wanted to show them the love and use it to represent my hometown and home state."
Josh Reddick, outfielder
Multiple selections
"Everything I have is wrestling music. I've changed it three times already. Right now it's Bret Hart's music. I've had Triple H, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk. It just depends on what I want to listen to, whatever gets you in the zone."
Grant Balfour, closer
"One" by Metallica
"It's just a song that I've always liked and it gets me motivated. I like the intensity of it and it gets me fired up. It starts kinds of easy and then it builds up. I'd like to see those boys come out to one of our games. Nobody comes out of the (Giants') bullpen to one of their songs, do they? We have a bunch of guys who do."
Seth Smith, outfielder
Multiple selections
"It's just what I like to listen to. I need something upbeat, with energy. Usually something Christian with a little bit of a message. Once you get one, it helps get you into your routine. It becomes part of the routine. If you aren't dialed in, it can help get you there."
Bob Melvin, manager
"There was nothing like that when I was a player. That's not really my music, not my genre. I'm a classic rock guy. But I have 'The Three Tenors' on my iPod, too."

For added convenience and control, the Automatic Monthly Payment option allows you to set an account payment threshold. For example, if you set an account payment threshold of $150.00 and your monthly energy bill exceeds that amount, your monthly energy bill will not be paid. You will need to electronically authorize the payment for your Duke Energy account online that month.
Once you have enrolled your account to be paid with the Automatic Monthly Payment option, all future bills will be automatically paid unless you choose to set an account payment threshold as previously mentioned.

The e-mail notification is sent as a reminder to view your bill.

FBI probes West Alabama Narcotics Task Force
Sheriff Ted Sexton: Auditors found accounting discrepancies

TUSCALOOSA | The FBI is conducting an investigation into questionable accounting procedures within the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force.
Auditors found discrepancies in the task force's accounting processes in November, Sheriff Ted Sexton confirmed Tuesday. Sexton, along with the heads of other law enforcement agencies and District Attorney Tommy Smith, is a member of the board that oversees the multi-agency task force that investigates all drug crimes in Tuscaloosa County.
The task force handles grant money and money that has been confiscated in drug investigations.
"The board was notified in reference to an audit that showed discrepancies in the accounting processes within the task force," Sexton said. "The board became aware of this issue and has been very straightforward in addressing the matter. We have chosen to address this aggressively."
"We asked the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office to investigate and have been told that they are conducting an investigation. If any issues discovered are determined to be criminal in nature, I would expect charges to be brought forward. At this time, it would be total speculation regarding the outcome of the investigation or the actions that will be taken by the FBI."
Sexton said that the audit conducted by Tuscaloosa accounting firm JamisonMoneyFarmer was done after a new commander was assigned to head the unit.
Capt. Jeff Snyder recently transferred to the motors division of Tuscaloosa Police Department after years as the commander of the drug task force. He retired a few weeks ago, due to health concerns, said his attorney Jason Neff.
Neff said that Snyder has agreed to fully cooperate with the FBI's investigation.
Snyder, 54, spent all of his 28 years in law enforcement at TPD.
The Tuscaloosa News was unable to reach Snyder for comment Tuesday.
Sexton said that the board acted within days of learning of the accounting discrepancies last month. He would not comment further, saying that providing further information could hinder the FBI investigation.
