Good morning and thanks for having me over to chat, Susi.
- Lea, September 9, 2010 at 1:55 PM
Hi Stephanie!
Great interview. "Size Matters", sounds to be a great read, I was actually talking to Susi about it yesterday.
I like documentaries about Egyptology and new surgeries/ medical discoveries. I don't watch much television because of time constraints but when I do that is the sort of programming I lean toward.
Thanks for the chance to win!
*waving at Susi*
- Stephanie Julian, September 9, 2010 at 2:31 PM
Hey Lea, thanks for stopping by.
Egyptology is fascinating but med stuff makes me cringe. My youngest loves to watch shows where they cut people open and take out 20-pound tumors. EEWWW!!
- SusiSunshine, September 9, 2010 at 2:35 PM
@Stephanie It's totally my pleasure. =)
@Lea I agree about Egyptology but these surgery shows are sooo bad. I always have to look away. Same goes for these Medical Detectives where they do all these autopsies. *shudders*
My favorite kind are those about new technologies and inventions in the building sector where they show what awesome new skyscrapers they can build and stuff like that. Can't see enough of those. =)
- Stephanie Julian, September 9, 2010 at 5:52 PM
and skyscrapers make me dizzy. I'm such a wimp, lol
- pattepoilue, September 9, 2010 at 5:53 PM
*waves* Hi Stephanie!!!
Oh I love watching archeology shows. I have always been interested in history. Ok not every civilization's History but some are just captivating.
I've read Susi's review of your book and it looks really interesting. And HOT! =P
You've picked my attention with this Bigfoot talk lol
- SusiSunshine, September 9, 2010 at 5:56 PM
@Steph Actually I only like to watch them on TV. I'm a bit afraid of elevators. Nothing major but I do try to avoid them. So no living in skyscrapers for me. LOL
- Stephanie Julian, September 9, 2010 at 6:47 PM
hi pattepoilue, thanks for stopping. I'm a history geek too, but only ancient history.
- Lucy, September 9, 2010 at 7:22 PM
Great excerpt! Would love to read it all.
- pattepoilue, September 9, 2010 at 7:25 PM
@Stephanie Oh yes I have a thing for Greek history in particular.
And I just love finding references to mythology or history anecdotes in the books I read =)
PS: I'm rambling but I love the cover of Size Matters. LOVE it. He looks so powerful and big *wipes drool*
- Stephanie Julian, September 9, 2010 at 7:27 PM
Lucy, thanks for stopping by.
- Stephanie Julian, September 9, 2010 at 7:35 PM
pattepoilue, I've been doing research on Greek mythology for the second book in my Forgotten Goddesses series, starting next year with Sourcebooks.
The mythology I use in my Lucani Lovers and Magical Seduction series is Etruscan, as it will be in the Goddesses series but those Greeks make for great angst.
The mythology in The Fringe series is early American kitsch. ;)
And yes, that cover is wonderful, isn't it? one of my faves.
- Blodeuedd, September 9, 2010 at 8:09 PM
HI Stephanie and Susi,
No need to enter me, I will read e-books one day..one day.
Oh Däniken is great, hihi.
When it comes to documentaries I love things about history, aliens, the end of time and stuff like that
- Stephanie Julian, September 10, 2010 at 12:07 AM
Blodeuedd, I love shows about aliens, they're just so interesting. thanks for stopping by.
- elaing8, September 10, 2010 at 12:39 AM
Documentaries I like are archeology.
Stuff on mysteries or how things were made,like Stonehenge.
- Audra, September 10, 2010 at 1:59 AM
I am not into documentaries as much- i like the nature or the history genres.
- Anonymous, September 10, 2010 at 3:05 AM
I love archeolgy and Egyptology. I even like diving on old ship wrecks. Medical stuff makes me cringe!
- skyla11377, September 10, 2010 at 3:25 AM
I loved your guest post Stephanie. we have a few similar interests when it comes to documentaries like Vampires and Werewolves. I have always been fasinated by certain myths in history. I enjoyed Morgan Spurlock's documentary film Super Size Me. He documented the effects of himself eating nothing but McDonald's food for 28 days. It was very eye opening in my opinion. I also enjoyed Robert Greenwald's documentary film Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price. It showed me things I had no clue about. I also enjoy documentaries on subjects like Greek and Roman mythology, King Arthur and the Knights of Camelot, Vampires, Werewolves to name a few.
- Cecile, September 10, 2010 at 5:12 AM
OH this is a very interesting post! My fave (when I catch them on tv and I get to watch) would be the Egyptian discoveries or Greek. But I feel liek a geek cuz I would probably watch whatever, lol!
This sounds like a great book Stephanie! Please count me in!

- JenM, September 10, 2010 at 6:16 AM
I love documentaries on any kind of history (totally an archeology geek), medical issues, DNA and science discoveries, astronomy, nature, underwater stuff - I love useless factoids and I pick them up mainly from non-fiction reading and documentaries. What I don't like are political documentaries, "true crime" stuff and environmental disaster documentaries - all of those are just too depressing.
I loved the Lucani Lovers series - can't wait to read Size Matters, it sounds great.
- Stephanie Julian, September 10, 2010 at 8:41 PM
elaing8, Stonehedge is one of my favorite topics for a documentary. one of these days I want to see it for myself.
- Stephanie Julian, September 10, 2010 at 8:42 PM
Audra, I loved the Earth series on, hmm, can't remember the channel, but it was breathtaking.
- Stephanie Julian, September 10, 2010 at 8:43 PM
Patsy, you're a diver? that's too cool. I read Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson and was absolutely consumed by the thought of it. Although that whole drowning danger throws me off...
- Stephanie Julian, September 10, 2010 at 8:45 PM
Skyla, they make the high school students watch Super Size Me in health class now. Really made my sons think about what they put in their mouths. For about two weeks. Still, it was fascinating.
- Stephanie Julian, September 10, 2010 at 8:46 PM
Cecile, yes, I love those too. My kids and I think Zawi Hawass is a rock star.
- Stephanie Julian, September 10, 2010 at 8:47 PM
Jen, I'm with you on true crime. I just can't stomach watching those.
- Pink Panther, September 11, 2010 at 3:51 PM
I love documentaries which are about paranormal things (not horror... just paranormal) or the possibility of forms of life in other planets (in other words, aliens). They are lots of fun! :)
You can reach me at email@example.com
- Stephanie Julian, September 12, 2010 at 12:55 AM
Hi Pink Panther, yes, fun is a good word to describe them, I always smile when I see any Bigfoot footage.
- Maija A., September 14, 2010 at 10:10 PM
I'm a documentary junkie too. I like to watch documentaries about everything - but egyptology, theology, ancient cultures, nature and crimes are my favorites.

I never saw myself as a big documentary fan. But I do like to learn, so I do watch occasional docs. Just yesterday I watched The Silver Screen: Color Me Lavender. I've also watched one documentary about Marijuana and one about sexual attraction. I do find myself more interested on documentaries on celebrities/people.

- Stella (Ex Libris), September 17, 2010 at 11:23 PM
Hi Stephanie! Wow, Size Matters sounds interesting, what inspired you to explore the idea of 'Big Foot'? :-D
I love documentaries, I loove to learn and if I can do that while seeing beautiful pictures all the better :-) I prefer programmes about history and culture (ancient history, or how faraway civilizations live) I also love the travel documentaries. Also, the biography docs are interesting too!
Stephanie, do you like to read light, fun romance, or you prefer the steamy, passionate more serious one?
Thanks for the giveaway! :-)

SC Gov. celebrates Continental Tire's new Sumter plant
Associated Press
SUMTER, SC (AP) — Gov. Nikki Haley is celebrating one of the crown jewels of her push to bring jobs to South Carolina as she helped break ground at a ceremony for the new Continental tire plant in Sumter County.
Work has already begun clearing the site for the plant which officials for the German tire maker say will employ 1,600 workers by 2021, so people attending Wednesday's ceremony had to watch their step.
Haley says the plant shows how dedicated she is to bringing jobs to South Carolina. The state's unemployment rate is now at 9.3 percent. It was 10.5 percent when she took office in January 2011.
South Carolina beat out Louisiana and a site near the Brunswick-Columbus County line for the $500 million plant. Continental Tire says the plant should make its first tire in 2014.

Fred Zilian offers an incredibly moving and realistic President Lincoln
Newport, RI (PRWEB) July 13, 2012
The words of Abraham Lincoln will be heard this weekend during the Civil War Living History Weekend Saturday July 14th and Sunday July 15th at Fort Adams. Two days of action bring the sights and sounds of the Civil War to Newport. The program includes a speech by a Lincoln impersonator and the story of thousands of Union soldiers and Confederate prisoners who recovered from wounds at the general hospital in Portsmouth Grove, RI.
Events begin at 10AM on both days and include re-enactors simulating dramatic assaults on Fort Adams as well as recreating daily life of soldiers and civilians during the war. Throughout the day soldiers and civilians in authentic 19th century uniforms and dress will invite the public to spend a day in their life, and to learn about everything from military tactics to cooking and family life during the Civil War.
Educator and performance artist Fred Zilian will portray Abraham Lincoln at 11:30 AM on both Saturday and Sunday. Rick Nagele, Fort Adams Executive Director notes that Zilian, "Offers an incredibly moving and realistic President Lincoln. His presentation about the war and the nation in Lincoln's own words makes you feel like you're in the room with the real Abraham Lincoln."
"Another excellent learning opportunity," says Nagele, "is the fascinating story of the general hospital in Portsmouth Grove, right here in Rhode Island. During the Civil War, thousands of wounded Union soldiers and Confederate prisoners recuperated on Aquidneck Island. Little has been written because we were so far away from the war zone. But the stories of all those associated with the hospital provide a new perspective on the army and society in Civil War America." Author and Portsmouth native Frank L. Grzyb will bring this story alive at 4PM on Saturday and 12:15 on Sunday.
Fort Adams Trust Director of Marketing and the Visitor Experience Robert McCormack, said, "Our Civil War Living History Weekend is a chance for families to truly immerse themselves into a place and time crucial to our country's history and interact with historical figures. If you're looking for things to do in Newport, this is a fantastic experience."
The two day schedule is filled with battles, artillery and troop drills, dress parades, medical and surgical demonstrations, lectures, historic displays, and camp life. According to McCormack, "You will literally be traveling back in time. You can spend as long as you like amongst the re-enactors, asking them questions, observing exercises and demonstrations. You'll experience the Union and Confederate camps where soldiers relax after battle as well as the headquarters where they strategize about the day's actions. While at the event, kids are encouraged to participate in a historical Scavenger Hunt for the opportunity to win daily prizes."
The Fort Adams Civil War Living History Weekend is hosted by the Fort Adams Trust with support from the New England Brigade, the Liberty Greys and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management. Admission to the Encampment is $10 for adults and $5 for children 6-17. Family admission (two adults and up to 4 children) is $25. For those wishing to attend both days of the Encampment to see all the activities, a special half price readmission for Sunday is available. Guided tours of the Fort's underground listening tunnels will be running every half hour from 10am-4pm both days at a rate of $2 for youths and $4 for adults. Water shuttles run from downtown and ample parking is available at Fort Adams State Park.
About The Fort Adams Trust
Historic Fort Adams is operated by the Fort Adams Trust, whose mission is to direct and support the stabilization, restoration, maintenance and operation of Fort Adams as a public historic site. Proceeds from the Civil War Weekend will benefit the preservation of Historic Fort Adams.
Fort Adams is located in Fort Adams State Park on Harrison Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island.

Thanks for joining me today. How was your week? What are your plans for the weekend? We have all of the Brew Crew back together this weekend after pops traveling for work again this week. It's a pretty normal weekend for us with ballet/tap lessons, a birthday party, and church. We are looking forward to seeing some of Steve's relatives for dinner Saturday night.
Lately, I've been dreaming about how to spice up our bedroom. We have done a lot of work in there since we moved in but it's still not finished.
Steve and I stayed at a beautiful resort hotel recently that had a lovely linen bench at the end of the bed perfect for sitting on to put shoes on. When our room was 'turned down' while we were downstairs having dinner I noticed that the extra bed pillows were placed on the lower portion of the bench which I thought was a fantastic idea. It got me thinking about bedroom benches. I did a little online shopping for bedroom benches and haven't found one that I'm totally crazy about yet.
Here are some inspiration pics that I found online of bedroom benches. Do you like any of them?
The bench in our resort hotel was similar to this one:
I love, love, love this entire room! I think the French doors are awesome and the light fixture! Oh, if I could talk my husband into getting rid of our big brown ceiling fan! The colors are perfect!
Is that a boat on the ceiling???
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Happy decorating & living,

So what does Rick Santorum stand for? It wasn't long ago that most people could care less about the candidacy of Rick Santorum. He was running in the single digits in most Republican primary polls. Most people barely knew who he was. Some people still don't know anything about this guy. While most Democrats have never paid attention to him, only some Republicans could tell you the first fact about him. He served in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from 1991 to 1995. After 1995, he served in the US Senate until 2007, and he lost his seat during re-election in 2006.
Out of nowhere, Rick Santorum has become a contender in the GOP nomination to face President Obama in the 2012 elections. He is the ultimate anti-Romney candidate. The Tea Party loves him because they see him as someone that represents his values. So what does Rick Santorum stand for?
Family Values
Santorum is not afraid to take a stand for traditional values. He is pro-life and vehemently opposes same-sex marriage. He is a strong proponent of heterosexual relationships and traditional child rearing. He is concerned that the Supreme Court is making too many decisions about moral issues that the public should be making on their own. Santorum has taken a lot of heat for his opposition to homosexuality, as he has explicitly stated that "I have a problem with homosexual acts." He feels that many of the old laws against adultery, polygamy, sodomy, and other acts should have been upheld. If you want to know what does Rick Santorum stand for when it comes to family values, you should know that he strongly supports traditional values.
Foreign Policy
Santorum favors strong foreign policy initiatives against our enemies. He feels the War on Terror started by the Bush administration can be won, and he supported President Bush on his leadership in occupying Iraq and Afghanistan as long as necessary to bring peace to these regions. Santorum has recognized the threat of Islamic fascism in the Middle East and throughout the world. He is pro-Israel, and he feels that Israel and Lebanon must be strong to counteract Islamic terrorism in the Middle East. He strongly opposes having talks with known terrorist harboring nations like Syria and Iraq, as he feels we cannot negotiate with radical Islamic extremists.
Illegal Immigration
Santorum is opposed to illegal immigration. He is vehemently opposed to amnesty for illegal aliens, and he feels that we need to take a stronger stand against illegals entering the country. He wants the border fence to be built. He would support National Guard troops being used to protect our borders with Mexico and Canada, and he also wants the United States to re-establish English as the official language in the USA. What does Rick Santorum stand for when it comes to immigration? He supports immigration through the standard immigration laws already in place.
Teaching of Intelligent Design in Schools
Santorum feels that students in schools need to be taught opposing views as it relates to evolution and intelligent design. While students have been taught evolution over the last few decades, Santorum feels it is important to teach about "competing scientific interpretations of evidence." The "Santorum Admendment", as it became to be known, was passed by the US Senate, but it was not included in the No Child Left Behind bill of 2001. Some language from the law was included in other literature that was submitted by the conference committee in the No Child Left Behind law.
So what does Rick Santorum stand for? He stands for pro-life. He believes in traditional family values, and he opposes illegal immigration. He feels we need to have a strong military and strong stands against terrorism around the world. If a friend asks you what does Rick Santorum believe, you will know what to tell him!

Flying Star Toys welcomes Ishmael's Whale to its toy collections. To celebrate the launch of flyingstartoys.com we have a signature toy, Ishmael's Whale, to presage its journey into the big wide world. I can think of no better creature than the portentous, warm blooded mammal of the deep that surfaces to take the air and view the sky. Like the workings of the creative life, it swims deep and unseen to surface like a wonder and a mystery.
You can now read the background to each toy series on the Story Page connected to each toy in the Collections pages. The Ishmael's Whale toy series has been dedicated to Herman Melville's classic novel "Moby Dick." Ishmael being the lone survivor of that fateful voyage of the Pequod, captained by the doomed Ahab on his vengeful quest for the white whale. You can read more about it on the Ishmael's Whale Story Page.
I have also named the three variations of Ishmael's Whale fabrics after the novel. The above style is called Nantucket Blue. Nantucket being the whaling centre where the Pequod sets forth. The other two are Indian Calico (the fabric is an Indian cotton) and New Bedford Stripe. You could read the book, if you haven't already, and see where I get my references from :) I think I'll re-read it again myself as it is one of my favourite novels - its gorgeous prose just rolls off the tongue.
Also, I would like to thank all my friends (both in the virtual world and in the flesh) who have been so supportive while I completed the mammoth task of constructing flyingstartoys.com. I fondly hope you will continue to read along and make the journey with me.

May 17 — Bank of America asked a federal judge to dismiss Miami's latest allegations of discriminatory lending, saying the city failed to support its claims under the Fair Housing Act.
Miami, which says city-wide economic injury is the fruit of wrongful lending practices, filed a third amended complaint against Bank of America April 29 — its fourth in the lawsuit.
According to Miami, the bank engaged in traditional redlining "by refusing to extend mortgage credit to minority borrowers in Miami on equal terms as to non-minority borrowers," and practiced so-called reverse redlining "by extending mortgage credit on discriminatory terms to minority borrowers in minority neighborhoods in Miami on the basis of the race or ethnicity of its residents."
Bank of America late May 16 asked Judge William P. Dimitrouleas of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to dismiss the suit with prejudice.
Bank of America said Miami still has not overcome statute of limitations problems and other shortfalls in its previous complaints.
"The City's four equally defective complaints to date demonstrate the City cannot and will never state a cognizable claim," Bank of America said.
A ruling on bank of America's motion could affect similar lawsuits by Miami against Citigroup (No. 13-cv-24510) and Wells Fargo (13-cv-24508), both of which also are in the Southern District of Florida.
As in the Bank of America case, Miami filed amended complaints against Citi and Wells Fargo April 29.
The court has given Citi and Wells Fargo more time to respond to the amended complaints.

Prep time: 2 hours (includes chilling time for chocolate)
Cook Time: None
Total time: 2 hours
Yield: Makes about 10 (2-inch) candy cups
2 cups (about 12 ounces) good-quality chopped white chocolate or white chocolate chips
3/4 cup White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Special Equipment:
10 (2-inch) aluminum/tin foil muffin liners
1. Place chocolate in the top of a double boiler (or make your own by setting a heat-proof bowl over a pot with 1-inch of water) over high heat. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce stove heat to low.
2. Continuously stir the chocolate until completely melted. Remove bowl from the heat and place on a heatproof surface.
3. Using a small spoon, "paint" the melted chocolate all over the insides of tin foil muffin liners (the tinfoil cups are easier to peel off than the paper cups). The layer of chocolate should be thick enough so that you cannot see through it, but thin enough that the paper cups remain upright and intact. You will not use all of the melted chocolate in this step.
4. Allow chocolate cups to cool and harden completely by placing on a tray in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. You can also complete this step the night before.
5. In a small bowl, stir together the White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
6. Using a mini ice cream scoop or a small spoon, evenly divide the peanut butter between the hardened chocolate cups. Smooth the top to create an even surface.
7. If the remaining melted chocolate has hardened too much, simply repeat steps 1-2.
8. Evenly divide the remaining melted chocolate amongst the filled cups, smoothing the tops and making sure the chocolate reaches all the way to the edges in order to seal the cups.
9. Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 1-2 hours.
10. Unwrap cups and enjoy! You can also store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

18 Responses to White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Yum! I would try white chocolate and cinnamon raisin swirl pb for a cinnamon bun flavored pb cup! 🙂
This does look amazing… However I think I might do dark chocolate and cinnamon raisin swirl for a chocolate covered raisin pb cup. YUM
This recipe sounds perfect! I would also try semisweet chocolate cups filled with White Chocolate Wonderful.
Mighty Maple Peanut Butter coated with semi-sweet/white chocolate swirl chips yum….
I'd try some dark chocolate with The Heat is On. Spicy-Sweet!
I think I would try making a filling using cinnamon raisin swirl pb and maybe a little pumpkin to make like a pumpkin cinnamon raisin pb cup
I'd do dark chocolate, honey pb, and mash a pretzel into the peanut butter before topping.
I'd go Mighty Maple with White chocolate, and sprinkle some chopped pecans on top before they harden.
I would try making them with melted milk chocolate and carmel with white chocolate peanut butter fillin 🙂 sounds awesome
Nom! There are only two things that break my healthy eating. Peanut Butter and WHITE Chocolate. And you've just combined my two enemies together! Very hip recipe! But I think PB & Co's cinnamon raisin swirl Peanut Butter in the middle of some milk chocolate with added Cayenne pepper added into the chocolate would make a great adult trick or treat handout!
I would like to try dark chocolate dreams with mint chocolate yummm!!
I like this combo, but I would add some jam to it!
I had never heard of White Chocolate Wonderful. What a great idea–peanut butter and white chocolate blended together!
I really like the white chocolate/peanut butter combo, but I'd also love to try milk chocolate with crushed graham crackers, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff as the filling.
Yum, I did this with equal parts of Cinnamon Raisin Swirl and White Chocolate wonderful PB and used melted dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate drizzled in equal parts on the bottom sides and top of the PB cup. Also, b/c I will always love PB&J, I added a dollop of real grape jelly on top of the PB before drizzling the top. Labor intensive, but beautiful and worth it!!
Dark chocolate dreams, with dark chocolate. Sea salt on top!
Do you have to use the White chocolate wonderful ?
Can I use shaped cupcake paper ?
Lena-it is stunning! From beinnnigg to end, I was holding my breath the entire time anticipating the next lovely page! The colors, the content…perfection! Bravo! You should be very, very proud. 🙂

Hello Everyone. My name is Courtney and I am a 25 year old stay at home mom of one. Well actually one human baby and one fur baby (who requires just as much attention).
The goal of this blog is to share crafts, recipes, cleaning ideas, organization ideas and fun stuff with the everyday mom. There are plenty of ideas for the above all over the internet but the problem is that a lot of that stuff is written for the Robo-mom. The mom that apparently has all the time in the world... or has pretend children. Or maybe their children are older or perfect but that definitely is not my life. My baby is active! And she keeps me running around the house all day. But that does not mean that I don't like to be creative, eat good food or to loose all the baby weight that I gained during my pregnancy.
So here I go. I will check out things all over the net. Find things that work and things that don't and let you know what I think. I am not saying that just because one thing works for me or doesn't that it will be the same for you but at least you can see a real world application instead of the perfect picture of Pinterest.

"We happy few," men at war
By Ed Marek, editor
Many people have written about the special bonds that tie men and women at war together. Bill Coffey, a retired Army officer, has assembled a marvelous presentation that tries to convey what those bonds really mean, matching photography with quotations from those who have tried to describe that bond. Having just returned from work in Kuwait, Bill comments, "Once again, I witnessed the power and inspiration of this thing which is referred to by many names, titles, nouns and adjectives." This is Bill Coffey's presentation. You'll not leave it dry-eyed.

Nothing tougher, nothing more honorable.
On the 2007 anniversary of the Japanese attack against Pearl Harbor, I presented work done by William T. "Bill" Coffey , Jr., a retired Army major, who had compiled a suite of quotes about the American war fighter and matched those with photos to tell a story about the American fighting man. It was entitled, "The American warrior, manning a post of honor, with heart, strength, resolve."
Bill, a senior space operations analyst with the Army's Space and Missile Defense Command, has just returned from work in Kuwait. He has said, "Once again, I witnessed the power and inspiration of this thing which is referred to by many names, titles, nouns and adjectives" --- to wit, the camaraderie and closeness between men and women in the military.
This is Bill's presentation and I am once again proud to convey it to you. Proud Americans will not leave this presentation dry-eyed.
We happy few. "Shall ne'er go by, from this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother." William Shakespeare's King Henry V, Act 4, Scene III
Men fight for their friends whom they will not let down. "Generals and politicians and others full of their own importance make speeches but nothing happens until Tommy Atkins turns his face to the enemy, puts his rifle at high port and advances to his front ... No man fights for King and country, not for the glory of his regiment nor its flag. He fights for his friends, he fights because his friends are expecting him to and he fights because he is unwilling to let them down. Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Britain's top soldier in WW2.
The real heroes. "The real heroes were my good buddies who died during the battles." Marine Corporal Ira Hayes (one of five Marines and a Navy Corpsman who raised Old Glory atop Mt Suribachi, Iwo Jima, Feb. 1945)
We are in the ass-kicking business. "I like Marines, because being a Marine is serious business. We're not a social club or a fraternal organization and we don't pretend to be one. We're a brotherhood of 'Warriors' – nothing more, nothing less, pure and simple. We are in the ass-kicking business, and unfortunately, these days business is good." Colonel James M. Lowe, Commander, Marine Corps Base Quantico
At times like this, you ask "Why?" "To save your world you asked this man to die; Would this man, could he see you now, ask why?" Wystan H. Auden, Epitaph for an unknown soldier.
Doing nothing is not an option. "The only way for evil men to triumph is for good men to do nothing," said Lt. Col. Michael Hudson, MAG-39 executive officer, quoting Edmund Burke. "These Marines were here because for them doing nothing was not an option."
Nothing tougher, nothing more honorable. "Going to a memorial is the toughest thing you are going to do when you get home. It is also the most honorable. It is our time to talk about not only how the Soldier lived, but how he touched our lives and be able to express ourselves while letting him know that as we live we will never forget the ultimate sacrifice that they gave to us so we can continue to live as a free nation." Command Sgt. Maj. Philip Johndrow, 1st Cavalry Division, Iraq.
We owe them victory. "We are here to honor the memory and service of seven men, seven of our brothers in arms ... why do we have to lose such good men? Part of the answer is only good men like these volunteer to serve and defend their country ... For those who want to support us by getting us out of Iraq as soon as possible, without a victory, I have but one comment. You're too late. We have sacrificed too much and all we ask of you is the necessary time to finish the job ... So I ask you 'Wolfpack' to make this promise with me. They will not have died for nothing. We owe them a victory. We owe them a win. We owe them our own lives if necessary. If the enemy comes out to fight he will be met with a disciplined lethal ferocity he has never before endured. If he plays the sly game of intimidating, beheading and torturing the innocent people of Iraq when he thinks we're not looking, he will be met with a cunning, a sophistication and a relentlessness that will lead to his utter defeat. This is my promise to you as your commander and from all of us to our honored dead." Lt. Col. Rod Coffey, Commander, 3rd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, The "Wolfpack", Diyala Province, Iraq, January 22, 2008.
The American and Iraqi flags fly at half-staff in honor of Cpl. Nelson and Lance Cpl. Opicka, USMC on April 17, 2008. A memorial service remembering these fallen brothers was held on Camp Habbaniyah, Friday, April 18, 2008. The orange color of the sky is a result of a strong dust storm currently hitting Camp Habbaniya, Iraq.
"We are Marines. Many people don't understand what we do as Marines or they really don't want to know. Many people are just thankful that we are out there. The force between them and evil. They are quick to chastise us or point out the rare occasions when we drift, however, they beg for us to go stand between them and fear. In the very recent past, we have lost two Marines from our unit, the first of this deployment, many of the last few deployments. They are warriors, school teachers and sons. They wanted to make a difference and they did. Now that we have grieved and held a memorial, we put our helmets back on, push outside the wire and continue to keep the wolf at bay. Why you ask? Because we are Marines." Major Gary Bourland 18 Apr 2008:
He would not let his Marines down. "If there's a trip one way, he said, Into battle grim for me, Don't let them say when I am dead: He died to save democracy; Nor let them say: He fought to free Enslaved nations, white or brown; Just print these simple words for me: He would not let his Marines down."
Memorial service, set up by the Marines of the 2nd Bn, 24th Marines for one of their fallen comrades, LCpl Daniel Wyatt, from Fox Company 2/24 Marines. Quote from a letter by Mark A. Smith, Lt Col, USMC, commander, 2-24 Marines, Mahmudiyah, Iraq
As if an Angel from God has fallen from heaven. "My command security element and myself personally recovered Daniel's body and escorted him back to the forward operating base, and then onto the helicopter for the beginning of his final ride home. I cannot even begin to express to you the soul touching sight of combat hardened Marines, encrusted with weeks of sweat and dust, who have daily been engaged in combat, coming to complete and utter solemnity and respect in the handling of the body of one of their own. It puts on display a level of brotherly love you just cannot see anywhere else ... I am an under-educated gun toter from Indiana who is just lucky there is an organization like the USMC where a half-wit like myself with some rudimentary combat skills can succeed. But I do know heroes! I am surrounded by over a thousand of them. And I am not the least bit ashamed to tell you I have wept like a baby for Daniel Wyatt. Because when one of these heroes falls, it is as if an Angel of God himself has fallen from heaven!
For one another. "American soldiers in battle don't fight for what some president says on T.V., they don't fight for mom, apple pie, the American flag...they fight for one another." Lt. Col. Hal Moore
The truth of battle is too holy to speak save to your brother. "When a warrior fights not for himself, but for his brothers, when his most passionately sought goal is neither glory nor his own life's preservation, but to spend his substance for them, his comrades, not to abandon them, not to prove unworthy of them, then his heart truly has achieved contempt for death, and with that he transcends himself and his actions touch the sublime. This is why the true warrior cannot speak of battle save to his brothers who have been there with him. This truth is too holy, too sacred for words. I myself would not presume to give it speech, save here now, with you." From the book, Gates of Fire
The highest human exhibition of love. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. The highest human exhibition of love that earth has ever seen was this. Christ was about to exhibit this highest type of human love by dying for his friends." John, 15:13,14
For your freedom. "Only two defining forces have died for you. Jesus, for your sins and American Troops, for your freedom."
All we can do is remember. "It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives – the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to everything for our country, for us. Remarks by President Ronald Reagan, Veterans Day National Ceremony, November 11, 1985.
The closest I have been to Christmas in a long time. "They came in single file, about 50 of them. Silent ambassadors, to tell us who they were. They moved at a slow pace, passing us for over 20 minutes. Some walked, while others pushed their wheel- chairs as best they could. Some were helped along on crutches by their wives or sweethearts. They were escorted front and rear by U.S. Marines in dress blue uniform. I have never seen prouder Marines. The Amputee Ward from Walter Reed Army Medical Center visited the Pentagon today. Some wore looks of resolution, pride, or dignity. Many had prosthetic devices where limbs used to be. All of them wore looks of surprise. We, the 26,000 employees of the Pentagon, lined both sides of the A ring (the inner ring of the Pentagon) to watch them pass and welcome them with thunderous applause. Half a mile they walked through a gauntlet of grateful fellow citizens two and three deep, who reached out to shake the hands of the remaining good arms, or grasp the remaining fingers of hands that have given ultimate service. They walked through us to the main concourse, where they were met by the Army Band and color guard playing marshal music for them, and where the mall was filled with additional people who swelled the applause. Many of us just called out loudly, 'Thank You,' because we didn't know what else could be said; thank you for your service to us. The applause never stopped. None of them spoke. They just cried. So did we. It was the closest I have been to Christmas in a long time."
Near presence of a comrade. "I hold it to be one of the simplest truths of war that the one thing which enables an infantry soldier to keep going with his weapon is the near presence of a comrade." S.L.A. Marshall, from the book, Men Against Fire.
With men like this, the outcome is never in doubt. "The 1st Bn, 8th Marines got into a serious fight ... They killed 250 (enemy) ... First reports coming in on our side were one Gunnery Sergeant killed and 41 troops wounded ... The next day that figure zoomed to 1 KIA and 73 wounded. As we asked how that could happen, we learned of the LCpl who came into the battalion aid station weak and with a bloody arm ... The trooper said, 'Doc, I'm not the only guy out there like that ... As the company commanders and first sergeants examined their men, they came across the additional casualties and asked them why they didn't turn themselves in to the aid station ... 'Sir, I am the only automatic rifleman left in my squad,' or 'Sir, I thought there might be another big fight today,' or just, 'Sir, I didn't want to leave my buddies.' Ladies and gentleman, with troops like those the outcome of Operation Iraqi Freedom was never in doubt." Lt. General James Conway, from a speech, October 8, 2004.
Living and working inside of this circle of brotherhood gives one the true sense of safety. "We have funny things that happen. I can remember standing in a land fill in southern Iraq where we began one of our attacks, and watching my guys so tired from lack of sleep .... literally fall on the ground, with their gear on, on top of each other. I then watched "my boys" swat flies for each other, guard each other, share water with each other, offer food for those that did not have any chow, express their disdain for the trash heap that was our home, all the while ready to do battle and if necessary die for each other. I saw with my own eyes the actual creation of the closeness and bond that historians write about in times of war amongst fighting men. I was both laughing and awe-struck at the absurdity of watching this sleeping, swatting, eating, cussing, and loving pile of men who where given to me to care for. I could feel the burden of responsibility for them while at the same time my deep love for each and every one of them. To tell you the truth, living and working inside of this circle of brotherhood gives one the true sense of safety, even in an Iraqi landfill littered with trash, feces, dead animals, sewage, mortar fire, machine gun fire, and flies." 1st Lt John G. Gibson, BN S-1, 1-325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, Baghdad, Iraq
The cohesion that matters. "The cohesion that matters on the battlefield is that which is developed at the company, platoon and squad levels." General Edward C. Meyer
Extraordinary heroism. "Saving the lives of your fellow Airmen is the most extraordinary kind of heroism that I know." This is a photo of USAF pararescuemen, known as "PJs." General Curtis E. Lemay, Fifth Chief of Staff, United States Air Force
Passion. "We have shared the incommunicable experience of war. We have felt -- we still feel -- the passion of life to its top. In our youths our lives were touched by fire." Oliver Wendell Holmes
A special brotherhood. "There exists a special brotherhood among those who stand shoulder to shoulder to look death in the face and defend not only each other, but the principles in which they believe." Author Unknown.
Facing losses in one's own personal way. "Isolated at this far-flung outpost, the men live packed bunk to bunk, they guard one another's backs, they depend on the group to help ward off fear and loneliness. And they face losses in their own searingly personal way. When one man is killed, the rest are asked to go back where he died, to face the same danger, in the name of duty. They do it, they say, for their comrades, for themselves and for a country that expects it of them." Excerpt from, "Death, Duty In Forgotten Corner of War, Remembering Gunny and the Kid, a Hard-Hit Unit Goes Back on Patrol", by Doug Struck, 2004.
For each other. "Then the darkness enveloped the whole American armada. Not a pinpoint of light showed from those hundreds of ships as they surged on through the night toward their destiny, carrying across the ageless and indifferent sea tens of thousands of young men, fighting for … for … well, at least for each other." Ernie Pyle, from his book, Brave Men, describing the US invasion of Sicily, WWII
A wounded soldier welcomes home his comrades after their one-year deployment to Iraq. Early in the deployment, with this same unit, this soldier was wounded and lost both legs. He was there at the airport to welcome home each and every one of his buddies.
A company of heroes. "Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?" Grandpa said, "No... but I served in a company of heroes."
Band of brothers. "…my first wish would be that my Military Family, and the whole Army, should consider themselves as a band of brothers, willing and ready, to die for each other." George Washington, in a letter to Henry Know, October 21, 1798
Small unit cohesion. "The nature of modern war indicates that small-unit cohesion is the only force capable of causing soldiers to expose themselves consistently to enemy fire in pursuit of an Army's goals." Colonel W.D. Henderson
Air Force Para Rescue Jumpers (PJ) Creed, "So that others may live:" "Please Don't stand and Weep, Those men I had to save, Not because of Courage or because I'm Brave, Not because of Orders, or because it was my Dream. I did it for my Brothers, I did it for the Team, So Please Don't weep for me, for all I had to give, I did it for a reason"
Can't let my buddies down. "They say they're scared, and say they won't do this or that, but when it comes time to do it they can't let their buddies down, can't let their friends go outside the wire without them, because they know it isn't right for the team to go into the ballgame at any less than 100 percent." Army Lieutenant, Iraq
We are 911. "Some people are meant to call 911, and some people are meant to be 911." 2nd Lt Ilario Pantano, USMC Platoon Leader, Iraq
Trust. "You have a comradeship, a rapport that you'll ever have again … There's no competitiveness, no money values. You trust the man on your left and your right with your life." Captain Audie Murphy, Medal of Honor recipient and most decorated American soldier of WWII
He died fighting for you! "When you lose a friend you have an overpowering desire to go back home and yell in everyone's ear, 'This guy was killed fighting for you. Don't forget him – ever.' Keep him in your mind when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed at night. Don't think of him as a statistic which changes 38,788 casualties to 38,789. Think of him as a guy who wanted to love every bit as much as you do. Don't let him be just one of 'Our Brave Boys' from the old home town, to whom a marble monument is erected in the city part, and a civic-minded lady calls the newspaper ten years later and wants to know why that 'unsightly stone' isn't removed." Sergeant Bill Mauldin, from his book, Up Front , 1945
He made our world possible. "Dear Mrs. Phelps: You have, I know, already had word from your son's battalion commander, Lt. Col. Hoyt. I know, too, how pitifully inadequate any words are at a time of such immeasurable loss as you must feel; but I feel impelled to write a few lines in any event. Your son was a most courageous soldier, and his actions at Tobaloor Village were in the finest tradition of the United States Army. I have recommended him for the highest honor our country can bestow; and I am proud to have known him. We shall all be the poorer for his loss. When this vast and most cruel of wars is over and we have established a more generous world than this, perhaps all of us can take some comfort in the thought that he is one of the men who made that world possible. Sincerely, Samuel A. Damon, Maj. Gen., USA," from Anton Myrer's book, Once an Eagle
There is no more to give. "Alone and far removed from earthly care, The noble ruins of men lie buried here. You were strong men, good men endowed with youth and much the will to love. I hear no protest from the mute lips of the dead. They rest; there is no more to give. So long my comrades, Sleep ye where you fell upon the field. But tread softly please, March o'er my heart with ease March on and on, But to God alone we kneel." "The Nobel Ruins of Men," by Audie Murphy
Nuf said. "We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, So we may always be free." President Ronald Reagan

Nine ballots. That's what Democrat Al Franken's lawyers say Norm Coleman has to show after nearly six weeks of courtroom combat in the U.S. Senate election trial.
On Thursday, Franken's lawyers asked the three judges hearing the case to dismiss some or all of Coleman's claims, even as they continued to introduce evidence in court about absentee ballots they said were wrongly rejected.
Franken's attorneys said Coleman's team "failed to meet [the] burden of proving that a voter's absentee ballot was improperly rejected" for the great majority of ballots they identified.
Only nine ballots were shown to be wrongly rejected during Coleman's five-week presentation, Franken's lawyers claimed.
Coleman lawyer Ben Ginsberg accused the Franken campaign of "fuzzy math" and said "motions to dismiss at this stage are kind of what lawyers do." The Coleman campaign is expected to respond to the dismissal motion today.
Ginsberg also reiterated his longstanding contention that the Coleman campaign believes at least 2,000 rejected absentee ballots should be counted.
The number is important because the Coleman team has focused much of its effort on having rejected ballots added in an effort to overcome Franken's 225-vote lead.
Franken lawyer Marc Elias acknowledged that more than nine rejected ballots Coleman wants counted may ultimately turn out to be valid, but added: "You're talking about dozens, not talking about hundreds."
Shrinking pool
A bid by one side to dismiss a lawsuit at the completion of the other side's case occurs frequently in trials.
Coleman rested most of his case Monday, but his lawyers have used testimony from some of Franken's witnesses to advance their argument that the Minnesota election system has serious problems. They will have the opportunity to further challenge Franken's case during rebuttal after the DFLer's lawyers have completed their case.
Before the trial began, Franken's team also sought to have the case dismissed but was unsuccessful.
In court Thursday, Franken attorney Kevin Hamilton questioned Duluth City Clerk Jeff Cox about dozens of absentee ballots, most of them rejected because the dates accompanying the voter and witness signatures didn't match.
St. Louis County later had identified them as votes that should be counted, but they were vetoed by the Coleman campaign for the recount tally.
Ginsberg said the court had blocked Coleman's efforts to introduce evidence about other St. Louis County ballots that were counted on Election Day but which he said had since been made illegal when the court on Feb. 13 excluded several categories of rejected ballots from possible reconsideration.
Earlier in the trial, the Coleman camp wanted the court to consider counting nearly 5,000 rejected absentee ballots. The panel on Feb. 13 effectively narrowed the field to 3,687, Franken said in the motion.
Those ballots break down geographically in a way similar to the roughly 5,000 ballots. Excluding politically diverse Hennepin and Ramsey counties, about 80 percent of the ballots are from counties Coleman won by 10 percentage points or more in November.
But there are about 600 fewer ballots from those strong Coleman counties now than what he had to work with before the Feb. 13 ruling.
Franken says that Coleman has failed to provide either documents or testimony that prove that most of those ballots were validly cast.
"For these ballots [Coleman has] not demonstrated that a voter filled out an application, that the voter's signature on the application matches that on the return envelope or that his or her name and address are the same, or that the voter signed the envelope."
Still divided
More Minnesota voters now believe that Franken rather than Coleman won the Senate race, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Thursday.
According to the survey, 47 percent of 500 likely voters said they think Franken is the new senator, as opposed to 35 percent who said they believe Coleman was reelected. The poll also said 71 percent of Republicans favor a new election, while 69 percent of Democrats oppose the idea.

2012 Honda CBR1000RR Leaked
Pictures of the 2012 Honda CBR1000RR have leaked from a distributor in Hong Kong, revealing some updates including a Showa Big Piston Fork, updated display and styling facelifts.
The photos show the new Honda Fireblade (as it's known in other markets) in HRC tri-color trim which, judging from color options offered on other recent Honda models, won't be available in the U.S. 2012 also marks the 20th year of the RR so an special anniversary paint scheme might be offered.
Official specs won't be available until Honda is good and ready to reveal them, so it's unknown what updates have been made to the engine.
The most significant update looks to be with the suspension, with the Showa BPF replacing the HMAS cartridge fork while the rear shock also appears to be new. The headlights are a noticeably sleeker shape than the lights on the 2011 model. The wheels are also new, while the tail and bellypan also receive minor updates. Also new is the all-digital display with a bar-style tachometer and gear indicator.

The Adventurers:
- KraKow, Son of KaThum
- Lucan, Avenger of Jasari
- Ollennia
- Vexol Randinson
- Vonin Jorn, The Wandering Blacksmith
The evening of the wedding arrived, and with it the funeral of Lord Eric Netheridge. His apparent wife, Lady Katerina Netheridge (nee Victorson), lit the pyre, but Lucan emerged from the forest, confused and disoriented. He recounted a dream where he broke into a house, killed a rat-like creature and stole a gleaming pearl, but when the others noticed blood on his sword, they realized it was not a dream. Vexol admitted that when he vanished on the road to Crystalshore, he had a similar dream of fighting demons, and based on his description the group realized that Vexol had been the one to kill Adam Greylock. The group realizes that they had each been taken over by something, and used for evil. They remember stories of "shadows," mysterious evil creatures who can control one's actions. The group found the house that Lucan broke into, and the halfling he killed in his trance-like state. They discover that the halfling, Harreth Pipo, was an Avenger of the Order of Jasari, just like Lucan. They discover that Pipo was investigating the Harkin family, and tracing the timeline. They also discover a reference to a name – "Perek Alathon" – and a mythical location called the Valley of Summer.
The group resumes their quest to find Baroness Grimhilde and determine the mystery of Katerina's apparent agelessness. They travel to the town of Ashenshire, a dwarven city built around a mine. They discover that Grimhilde has forced the citizens to cast out the gods, and appoint herself as the new deity. Enraged, the adventurers bang on the gate, but a guard, Praxana, directs them to a secret passage through the wall. They enter the city and she begins to tell them of the Baroness' atrocities: closing the walls of Ashenshire, abducting the humans and experimenting on them, declaring herself as the only deity to be worshipped within the walls, and hiring wild men and cannibals and duergar to serve as her "Honor Guard". The city is starving, as the dwarves struggle to work the mines and the farms and orchards, while the crops are poisoned by the magic leeching out of the Baroness' tower in the Midnight Forest.
Vonin noticed a dwarf hanging in a cage in the town square, and freed him, drawing the guards out of the barracks. The group fought the guards in the town square and killed them, and the dwarf, Orobok, thanked them. He said he was imprisoned for trying to start a revolution. He and Praxana will fortify the city against further incursion from the guards, but he can offer help to the adventurers' plan to attack the Baroness. He tells them who in the town they can trust… and who would sell them out.
Krakow visits the blacksmith, Morek, who gives him a rough map of the layout of the tower. Vexol and Lucan visit the priest, Arbos, who has been forced to serve the Baroness' new religion. Arbos gives them the safest directions to the tower, and they speak with him about their dark experiences being controlled. Vonin and Ollennia approach an old miner, Glint, who has long ago given up on a revolution, but are able to convince him to give them a ritual, Passwall, which will allow them to sneak into the tower while avoiding the door.
The group visits the bartender, Fargrim, and threaten him and boast of their prowess, and their plan to attack the Baroness. They threaten to kill him if he tells anyone, but he sends a bird warning the tower to the coming attack… which the group was counting on. They follow the safe pass through the forest, and use the ritual to pass through the back wall of the tower and avoid the guards. They traveled up the stairs, and found a room where prisoners were tortured, and an incinerator to dispose of the bodies.

Good evening Regina!!!!
What a tremendous day it's been, and another amazing week. Every single day, heck every single hour, the City of Regina Senior Administration (the same ones who banned me from City Hall) trip over their own feet, and choke on their own words, and continue to bury themselves deeper and deeper with every word that comes out of their mouth. It doesn't help when you have RoboMayor in charge, or as he's beginning to be called on Twitter, the #1TermMayor.
What can I say? The legal action is going along very smoothly, and there should be some public information coming in the next couple weeks on that one. Suffice it to say, ladies and gentlemen, the "NEW" Regina I spoke about oh so few weeks ago is getting closer and closer to reality. And, the best part of it is: YOU will get to own your City once again!! Well, technically you already own it, but you certainly don't seem to get a say in how your tax dollars are being spent. (Insert RoboCalls and "Vote No" $340,000 campaign here)
So, I want to say this: I LOVE THE CBC!!! Yes, even despite the horrific report that Mr. Geoff Leo did on me in October 2012, the CBC is probably one of THE best media outlets in all of Regina!!! Say what you want about them, but they are one of the ONLY ones that ask the hard questions, and get the stuttering responses from our Mayor. Listen closely near the end of Mayor Fougere's interview. "How much profit is built into the contract?" "Uh uh uh...I don't have that in front of me. Uh I don't have the report in front of me. Ummm, I can get you more details." - You know EVERY OTHER DETAIL down to the minute penny on how much this is allegedly going to cost taxpayers, but you DON'T know the very simple fact of how much profit is to be made from this private company off of our wastewater??
Could it be because you are afraid to tell people that the contract has a MASSIVE profit built into it? Right off the top the cost was quoted as $120M up until July 2013, according to Enterprise Saskatchewan, yet you are applying for $58.5M from the Federal Government. Based on the P3 Canada information of funding up to 25%, this would indicate the total cost quoted to P3 Canada for the WWTP is $234M. So RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING the private company has $114M PURE PROFIT built into the initial price tag. Add to that whatever "savings" they can realize by cutting staff (unionized City staff for now), cutting corners that don't affect "measured standards", and the ability for City Council (aka the Private Company's best friend!) to set the utility rates, and you magically have MASSIVE profits to be made by the private company.
OH, and then there's the oh-so secretive $200M contract that the City of Regina signed with a Chinese company in July 2012 to sell our treated wastewater to a new potash mine in Milestone (where incidentally the Pedersens are apparently "the" notable family in that town - Rod Pedersen (Voice of Riders) and Reid Pedersen (VP at Evraz Place)).
Some MASSIVE profits to be made by the private company with next to no risk for them. Of course it's a no brainer. What does Fougere get out of it? Well, since he is the former head of the Saskatchewan Construction Association, I'll let you determine that correlation.
I will leave you with this: I find it poetic justice that the "Vote No" ad is on the same screen as the Pamela Wallin audit. Don't you?

Because of a trend toward inclusion, increased incidence, and increased and broadening diagnosis, many teachers can expect to encounter students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
Students with ASD can be challenging to teach, especially in a busy, noisy, elementary classroom. ASD causes these students to struggle with communication and socialization, which affects all aspects of their lives.

The first part of Thing 4 was an exploration of Twitter. I'm new to Twitter, but beginning to understand understand how I can get the most out of it. For me, Twitter is about engaging with my immediate community and interests. So I tend to follow people rather than 'things' and 'news'. Streams like @BBCnews or @huffintgonpost quickly cluttered up my feed and I realised I wasn't really going to interact with them. So I use RSS feeds to follow my favourite blogs and news sources. Teaching information literacy within the workplace I'm a big advocate for both Google Reader and Netvibes.
Pushnote was something I had heard of, but never explored.
Oh how I hated it from the moment I signed up. But attempted to leave my first impressions behind and give it a go.
It's available on Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Great for use at home, but I'm limited to Explorer at work. A quick check on the iTunes store reveals it doesn't have an application for iPhone. So it rules out it's use for me. If I can't access it at work, I'd need to be able to use it on my phone instead.
Having said that, I'm why I would ever want to use this in a work capacity. According to the front page, it enables me to 'keep track of all the best things you and your friends find online'. Signing up, it seems I am an early adopter, and no-one I know has been brave enough to sign up yet. That's OK. I can hunt around for some interesting people I know professionally, right? My search options were to use an email address, or find people with their Pushnote Username. I quickly hit a blank wall. I don't know about you, but I don't have Phil Bradley's email address. But I do value his opinion of online tools and search engines. What struck me was that I didn't have the option to search for keywords in people's profiles, or find people that I might not necessarily know, but may still have some shared professional interests with. It does seem however, that with the concept of 'neighbours', as you post, Pushnote learns what you like and automatically adds relevant feeds to your profile. So perhaps with further use, I'd identify relevant people to follow.
Compare this with Twitter, where it's relatively easy to find streams through the use of lists, hashtags and full text search across tweets, as well as several standalone applications that have been especially created for the job.
Within seconds of signing up, Pushnote had added several followers to my feed. Most of whom are Pushnote developers, or had little to do with my interests. I may be judging a book by it's cover, but I doubt I'm interested in the same kind of websites as someone who describes themselves as a 'Texan Ukulele Fan'.
Strike one. Strike two came when I attempted to save a favourite link. It was simple to add a URL. But there was no way of naming the website. There was a description field, but I ran out of characters pretty quickly. Hit save. Realised I hadn't given it a star rating. Could find no way of going back to edit the entry.
Further frustration came when I realised I'd added the entry to my 'top faves'. But if I wanted to add it to a category of favourite 'books' or 'movies' I would need to drag it into a separate list.
I didn't even bother adding the browser add-on. I'd run out of patience.
I came to the conclusion that I just couldn't see the point of it. Even the facility to post to Twitter/Facebook didn't convince me. Why bother? Just share the link direct on Twitter. I have a well loved tool I use to manage my online information resources. Diigo is sophisticated information tool which enables me to save images, PDF files and website links with various ways of retrieving them again.
I scratched my head several times over this one. If I were being generous, perhaps there was a case for academic librarians to use it in order to engage their students in finding high quality resources online. But I won't be recommending it as part of a suite of tools in my own Information Literacy workshops.
It's in Beta. I think it needs to make a lot of improvements before take-up of this tool increases.

yesterday as i was walking out of the testing center, a girl was on the phone with her mom in utter hysterics about her score on her test. she was going on and on about how her bad score (a 73 percent!) was unacceptable and how she was never going to get in her major or have a career or get hit on while crying (just kidding, she didn't say that...but she probably won't. she wasn't the most attractive crier -- i feel you, sister!). meanwhile, i was doing a mini-celebration over FINISHING my statistics test and answering most all of the questions! i sat still for over an hour! double fist-pump!
- i rewarded myself for going to class everyday last week by skipping two classes this week?
- because i have done tony horton's (I LOVE HIM!)(mini-brag...) p90x program for three weeks straight, i took a whole week off. and digressed.
- the 8-week challenge has gone down the tube because 'i like myself too much.'
- ...however, i did reward myself with frozen yogurt for actually sticking to it for two weeks.
- every time i sleep in past my alarm, i justify it to jeff with "my body just really needed it."
- ...i've cried over a test score maybe once? and that was probably because i got a paper-cut while turning it in.
- if it pertains to math, science, arm workouts, crafting, or sprinting...i'm happy with 'just finishing.'
- most all of the time i don't look at my test scores in fear of getting mad at myself for not getting mad at myself. did i make sense?
- i always set new years resolutions that i know i can complete so that i'll feel good about myself. 'don't kill anyone' and 'no tattoos' were apart of last years.
- ...i do the same thing with 'to-do' lists. i just write a bunch of stuff down that i've already done! the thrill of crossing stuff off instantly!
maybe i'll turn a new leaf this week and set some goals that really push myself. but probably not.

So what is Fuduntu Linux? Fedora? Ubuntu? Something entirely different? Fuduntu is actually very nice. I had forgotten just how good Gnome 2 is and it makes my laptop run like a dream compared with Unity and Gnome 3.

Supervising Faculty:
Alison Hipwell, PhD., ClinPsyD.
Jen Wilson
(412) 383-5018
Area of Research: Clinical Psychology/Health Psychology/Developmental Psychology
Description of Research:
The directed research students will work on a large-scale prospective study: 'Preconception stress exposure: Impact on pregnancy and offspring neurodevelopment' (PIs: Alison Hipwell & Kate Keenan) that is part of the NIH Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) initiative. The project recruits pregnant participants from the ongoing Pittsburgh Girls Study (PGS) to examine the effects of lifetime stress exposures, occurring prior to conception, on prenatal health and stress regulation, birth outcomes and offspring health and development during the first 3 years of life.
Duties of Students:
This is an excellent opportunity for students who are interested in a career in Clinical/Health and/or Developmental Psychology. The selected students will assist with lab-based assessments of stress reactivity among young pregnant women, and will assist with coding videotaped mother-infant interaction data. In addition, students will gain experience in neural measures (using fNIRS) of executive function and psychophysiological measures of stress reactivity among infants. Students will also have the opportunity to develop a broader range of knowledge and research skills as part of the PGS and the chance to actively participate in an interdisciplinary research effort.
Terms offered: fall, spring and summer
Number of Students: 2
