I've done a lot of travelling in the past few years and I made an effort to seek out fine craft beer establishments wherever I went. I was reminiscing with a friend the other day and I thought I might as well post a list of my favourite European craft beer drinking establishments. Keep in mind that this is not an all encompassing list, but a list of places I visited and liked. That being said, I truly believe these are the cream of the crop and that any beer enthusiast should seek them out.
Mikkeller – Copenhagen, Denmark
The impressive and cosy bar of the Danish craft beer geniuses. What impresses me most about Mikkeller is their creativity and range. They also server American and other European craft beers in their bar.
't Arendsnest – Amsterdam, Netherlands
You could argue there are better beer bars in Amsterdam, but this is this only one that serves only Dutch craft beer. The bar itself is a beautiful wood paneled brown cafe located right on a ridiculously pretty canal.
Delirium Cafe – Brussels, Belgium
It's grungy, smokey, crowded and you'll never want to leave. The quintessential Brussels beer bar is famous for it's massive beer list featuring almost every Belgian beer available. The staff are super knowledgeable and also rude. I remember being scared to order, but it's worth it in the end.
't Brugs Beertje – Bruges, Belgium
The classic Bruges brown cafe. I highly recommend watching In Bruges then heading to this place for a gay beer or seven. It might not be the best beer bar in Bruges, but it's the classic and a must visit.
Akkurat – Stockholm, Sweden
Surely the best beer bar in Sweden, featuring craft beer from around the world and from Sweden's burgeoning craft beer scene.
Bir & Fud – Rome, Italy
Serving only Italian craft beer, this place is in the hip Trastavere neighbourhood of Rome. I didn't know Italy had a craft beer scene until I visited this place, turns out craft is taking off in Italy.
Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fà – Rome, Italy
Across the street from Bir & Fud, this place takes care of the rest of the world and serves top notch stuff from Northern Europe and America.
Craft – London, UK
Can you believe I lived just over a mile away from this place and I only went there twice? I should be punished. Founded in the summer of 2011, this place immediately became the top beer bar in London. They have the very best from all over the world; tons of Mikkeller, English and American stuff.
Brewdog – London, UK
The punks at Brewdog are on a pub opening tear in the UK. The London joint opened in December and has been packed since. Features tons of Brewdog one-off stuff, as well as quality craft from around the world.
Oktoberfest – Munich, Germany
Okay, not a pub, but an essential and amazing experience. I found most German beer halls to be very similar, so why not enjoy them at their grandest scale. I went twice and I'd go again at the drop of a hat. Check out my experience.
I went to a lot of fantastic pubs in Europe, but these are the standouts from a beer perspective. Let me know if you think there's somewhere else I need to go, I only need an excuse…

A 'Culture of Business' event will be held Sept. 8, at which business entrepreneurs can learn about opportunities and Hamlet's own Lella Jones will be honored by the national income tax preparation and bookkeeping company known as COMPRO-TAX.
"Year in and year out, she outshines others and leads the company in professional income tax and bookkeeping service, community service, entrepreneur development, and education," said Jackie Mayfield, founder of COMPRO-TAX, which has more than 220 offices in 26 states.
The business reception will be held at the Comfort Suites, 307 E. Green St., Rockingham at 10 a.m.
This reception is for those who are interested in business that want to learn from Jones' example ways to enhance their own business or to help them get started in business. There is no fee for the business reception and young adults are especially encouraged to attend. There is limited seating, so call 910-582-8489 to reserve your space at the business reception.
"Ms. Jones' story is a textbook for those who want to know how to succeed in business by rendering distinguished service to our community," said Wekesa Madzimoyo, Fayetteville native and Atlanta, Ga., COMPRO-TAX business developer.
Later that Saturday evening, formal and semi-formal attire will set the tone for the "Culture of Business" dinner that will be held at the Pee Dee Baptist Educational Association Building, 119 Channie McManus Drive, Dobbins Heights at 6 p.m. There, Jones will receive the "Culture of Business Award."
Speaking from the COMPRO-TAX's corporate headquarters in Beaumont, Texas, Mayfield, a self-made millionaire, said, "I can't wait to show the people of Hamlet and surrounding areas what a jewel God has placed in their midst. It's really an honor for me to represent CTI's Board and hundreds of affiliates nation-wide on this occasion. It's so good to give credit where credit is due. Many see the light, but fail to act, to reach for it. Fewer still become that light to others.
"When we caught up with the honoree," said Mayfield, "she said 'I started off helping my parents — Thomas and Margaret Oates — on our tobacco farm. While my father made a great living on our farm modeling hard work and determination, I set out to make my mark in ways other than farming. That quest had me become one of John Raye's Majestic Eagles, then a Dudley Beauty Adviser, and finally an income tax professional and bookkeeper with COMPRO-TAX.'"
Jones takes a special interest in teaching churches to become tax compliant. As such, she's done workshops with the 24 churches of the St. John's Association she has worked with many of the churches in the Pee Dee Association and other local churches and has counseled churches as far away as Ohio and New York.
Usually locals who are honored nationally are whisked away to larger cities like Atlanta or New York to receive their honors; we only get to see pictures or read about it. "COMPRO-TAX wanted to do it differently," said Mayfield. "While Ms. Jones has been recognized at our nation-wide meetings, we think it's important that we bring the honor to her home community, that we travel to her to allow those who have touched her and been touched by her to join in this celebration of her hard work and success."

Certified Scrum Product Owner
From Business case to Implementation
Though each CSPO course varies depending on the instructor, all Certified Scrum Product Owner courses focus on Scrum from a product owner's perspective. Graduates will receive the CSPO designation. All CSPO course are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers.
How do you go from the product vision to a product backlog? This
interactive course teaches you the essential knowledge to work as a
Product Owner in Scrum.
The Product Owner creates the product vision, sets the product goal
and leads the effort to transform the vision into a successful
product. The Product Owner steers and guides the Scrum team, bridges
the gap between customers, business and development, and is
responsible for reaching the product goal and return on investment
Through a workshop filled with simulations and exercises, you will learn how you
can leverage Scrum to optimize value creation and customer
satisfaction. You will learn how to create a product vision, create
and manage the product backlog, prioritize the product backlog,
create a realistic release plan, and progressively refine
requirements. As a Product Owner, your responsibility is to ensure
value is delivered early and often. This course will provide you the
knowledge and understanding to support, advocate and implement
incremental product delivery.
Scrum transforms the way work gets done, and the Product Owner plays
a key role in transforming the business to support regular delivery
of value to your customers.

Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsSki Jumping: Bardal wants globe Planica is always a spectacle. Even if the hill is not the world's largest anymore, the competitions in northern Slovenia are always especially fascinating. Because mid-March it's already spring at the facility that is located only about 100 km from the Mediterranean Sea and for most of the jumpers it's just about having a nice end to the season. There's not that much pressure anymore. It's the same this year, but for one or the other athlete Planica 2012 is a special test since it's about the overall World Cup title. Anders Bardal wants to be the third Norwegian, after Vegard Opaas and Espen Bredesen, to crown himself as the best ski jumper of the season. The last Norwegian victory of Bredesen was already 18 years ago. And realistically there's only one that can prevent a Norwegian winner: Gregor Schlierenzauer, who already won the overall title in 2009, but he is 123 points behind Bardal with only two more competitions left. The very consistent Bardal was able to extend his lead recently. Schlierenzauer is not in the same shape he was when he won the 4-Hills-Tournament in January. Bardal did not do that well at the 4-Hills and at the World Championships in Vikersund, so winning the overall World Cup title would really make up for that. For the Slovenian fans the fight for the yellow bib is not the most important and they want to see a ski flying show by their new World Champion. Robert Kranjec is the first Slovenian who could win the ski flying World Championship title so that will additionally boost the atmosphere at the Letalnica where they want to see their hero fly and win. Kranjec is really looking forward to the final ski flying show this winter: "Even in a season where I was not in a good shape, I always did well in Planica." That's why it will be especially nice, said the 30-year-old national hero. Kranjec can also still win the ski flying World Cup title. Daiki Ito leads this ranking with 210 points, Kranjec is second with 195 points, whilst also Bardal (182 points) still has a good chance. This applies for every athlete: Ending the season with nice jumps over 200 m and enjoy the spring in Slovenia is the goal. The showdown starts already on Thursday with the qualification at 11:00 am CET. Contributed by Horst Nilgen |

Uploading a photo to a Patch website is easy and quick, once you know how to do it. Here's a simple how-to for you to follow.
- Sign up as a Patch user. To add a photo or other content such as events or announcements, you need to be a registered member of Patch. You can do this by clicking "Sign Up" at the top of the site.
- Select the photo you'd like to upload.
- All photos should be original, meaning you need to have taken them yourself. Photos should be in a "jpeg" format. This is the most common photo format. If you see an extension of your photo file that says "tif," "gif," "bmp," or something else, look for a way to save your photo in a "jpeg" or "jpg" format.
- Photos should be saved, if possible, at a medium size and a "resolution" of 72 dpi. If you do not know or have the ability to do this, don't worry too much; our system does some "crunching" for you. But the smaller the size of your image, the quicker it will upload to our site, so for efficiency you may want to keep the file sizes smaller.
- To add a photo, click on the link under the current photos that says "Add your photos and videos."
- A window will open; click on "Choose files to upload." This will take you to your computer files, where you can choose the image you wish to add. Click it.
- One your photo is ready to be uploaded, you will see a screen with a link that says "Start uploading." Click that.
- Your photo will upload, and when it is done the computer will ask you what you want to do next. Click on "edit your new photos." This is where you add your caption information.
- Click to add caption information. You may also change the "photo credit" if you need to do so. If someone other than you took the photo, click to change that.
- Be sure to include in your caption information about when and where the photo was taken, and fully identify any people in the photo. If relevant, tell why this photo says "Michigan" to you.

If you mean "edit," as in crop, change the shadow, etc., there is no way. Once it is uploaded that is how it will appear on the site.

For the Photos of Michigan contest, one of my photos (week 10) I didn't put a caption to tell where it is. The other 2 are captioned. My remaining photo (of a waterfall) is Wagner Falls. Can that please be added? I cannot find a way to change/make a caption after the photo has been uploaded.
9:03 am on Monday, August 6, 2012
Yes, I have "re-edited" my photos, and if I could FIND them, could probably figure it out again and could help...but where are they? (mine).
8:59 am on Wednesday, August 29, 2012
How do you know if you downloaded a photo to the contest correctly? I received and email saying I downloaded my picture to the Oakland Lake Orion Patch...but I live in Grosse Pointe...

Hi! I uploaded a picture...it was supposed to be for the photo contest but I don't think that's where it went. I didn't see the link for the "comments" so if you would add the info? "Sunrise over E.28th St., Ship Bottom, LBI, NJ". Thanks! Let me know if you need more information....

yML-^l X T4HSA CtTY-COUNTY LIBR RBfmm wtww By SUS^NWITT Of The<3fl^M Staff PRYOR — Six men and six women are seated today, ready to decide the fate of Gene Leroy Hart, the man accused of murdering three Girl Scouts at a camp a few miles from his mother's Locust Grove home. Anticipation filled the courtroom late Thursday as the last juror was selected — spectators suddenly realizing the group of men and women soon would begin hearing the case so many had been waiting for. Jury selection had dragged on for 10 days of tedious questioning. Hart, 35< is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Lori Lee Farmer, 8, Michele Guse, 9, and Doris Denise Milner, 10. The small girls were raped and beaten or strangled, and dragged from a tent where they were sleeping. THE CRIME SHOCKED the rta- com tion andliaunted people in this small rural county. For nearly two years, people here have talked and wondered and thought about the murders. "I think it was the brutality of the thing that stood out in my mind," said one prospective juror when defense attorney Garvin Isaacs asked him what he remembered most about the reports of the crime. "The fact that they were small, to- taUy^defenseless children," he continued. All of the 113 persons questioned as jurors said they had followed news accounts and talked about the case with friends and neighbors. Many of them were excused after admitting they had fixed opinions a- bout Hart's guilt or innocence that Would be nearly impossible to change. All of those persons called as jurors who lived in Locust Grove were excused. Most of them knew Hart, a former high school football star. Others knew members of his family. Testimony in the case is expected to begin Monday after alternate jurors are selected today. THE JURY PANEL will be housed at a Pryor motel for the trial, which is expected to be lengthy. The jurors are mostly housewives^ and blue collar workers. Their ag^s range from about 30 to 55. There are no Indians on the jury, or none who are recognizable as Indians. Hart is a Cherokee Indian, and his attorneys concentrated on that point when questioning jurors. 4 They objected when two Indian women tentatively seated on the panel were excused. One woman was challenged by prosecutor S.M. Fallis Jr., the other i I See HART, page 4A S

Sunland Baobab
Did you know?
The trunk of the baobab tree can store more than 30,000 gallons of water.
The Sunland Baobab, near the sub-tropical town of Tzaneen, is the country's biggest baobab. The Sunland Baobab has a circumference of some 47metres and stretches to a height of 22 metres. It's so big there's room enough for a small pub inside. The Sunland Baobab is understandably, one of the area's most popular attractions.
The Sunland Baobab is situated on a farm owned by the Van Heerden family, who take care of this majestic specimen. The small pub inside the tree was created all the way back in 1933, and today is still a most unusual place to have a drink! The country's biggest baobab tree is famous around the world and has even appeared on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.
The Sunland Baobab, like all baobabs, is a source of great myth and legend. Limpopo province has adopted the baobab as its tourist icon, and the tree is also known as the upside-down-tree. Legend has it that the early San people believed the baobab tree offended God and as punishment, God planted the tree upside down. When you see a baobab tree in winter you will know what the San people meant. The branches look like roots pointing skyward.
Few trees embody the spirit of Africa quite like the baobab. In ancient times kings, elders and leaders held meetings under the spreading branches of huge babobabs, believing that the spirit of the baobab would guide them in making the right decisions for their people.
The scientific name for the baobab is Adansonia digitata.Baobabs are succulents, comprising 80% moisture which makes them very useful to both animals and humans. They provide shelter for a variety of creatures, including bush babies and fruit bats that pollinate the flowers. Baboons love the fruit of the baobab, and elephants browse the leaves and strip the bark for moisture.
If you're exploring the attractions of the Tzaneen area, don't miss the chance to see the Sunland Baobab, the country's biggest.

About Me
- Mom26children
- I am the proud mother of 6 children. 5 of our children have autism. We do not feel our world has ended, but just begun. We do not chelate, intervene biochemically, give shots of any kind, practice ABA, etc. We treat them as we treat any humanbeing. We treat them with kindness and respect and expect the same from them. They are exceptional children.
Monday, February 04, 2008
I am being "harassed" online by a FLAMING IDIOT....
I will not reveal the place this is happening or the pathetic being doing this.
I just want to make a point.
When you go on a message board, it is generally to gather or reveal information.
That is all I ever wanted to do when I post on Autism Message Forum Boards...any
of them.
As of recently, a person, who is obviously unhappy with her menial little life has
chosen to harass me by provoking flame wars on a particular message board on
a well-known website.
I have chosen my blog to step up and say that I have chosen not to address this
person on that board, because frankly, I am BORED with this person.
I wish she will get the help she so desperately needs. First and foremost, for
her children...next, for her family, and last for herself.
I also hope she finds a dictionary...it is spelled DEFINITELY....see no A....
When I chose to go public with my amazing family, I was warned about being ridiculed
and having my family put into positions of being made fun of.
We chose to go forward in an effort to show families with children with Autism that
it is not all "GLOOM AND DOOM", but can be a very positive experience for every person
that is involved with your children.
We have had death threats, our mailbox blown up, hateful letters, hateful phone calls
and emails.
But all of this was worth the thousands of well-wishes and love sent to us from people
whom we have never met and never will.
No one can shut me up or shut me out. I just WILL NOT take a part of something that
reminds me of dealing with a "childhood bully".....GROW UP ALREADY....
Get up away from your computer. Go outside and get some fresh air...
Better yet...GET A THERAPIST!!!!!
46 comments:
You GO, girl!!
thank you thank you thank you!!!
i've just discovered your blog and have been reading all day yesterday (well... in 10 min increments--lots of interruptions!). it was a mixed feeling of wanting to read more and signing off because of the cruel unjustified attacks on your entries and comments!!! i'm a new mom in this autism world and you made me laugh, cry, and best of all, hope. yes, i've tried the gfcf diet, questioned the vaccines, and currently in more therapies than i can keep up. i have no idea what's the 'right' way, 'wrong' way, ... i'm just praying daily that i'm doing my best. your entries are a breath of fresh air to me and i hope you don't get discouraged by these people who want to attack you for writing what you feel on YOUR OWN BLOG!!! and even though my son is currently in ABA therapy, i never for once felt attacked by you in your comments. i understood what you meant and how you meant it. please continue writing all your pearls of wisdom. i, for one, love reading them!!! i hope one day to meet your amazing children!
-julie from san diego- - 11:25 PM
I've seen the attack dogs circle you on a couple of boards. They really are flaming idiots. I always hope that their bullying is obvious enough to people who have no background in knowing who you are or who they are.
What I see is you being dignified and them being bullies and worse.
I am shocked your mailbox was blown up! I guess I shouldn't be. Considering the whackos out there expressing themselves online in the "autism wars".
I hope that besides this stupid business with the bullies that your life is going wonderfully well. It's the best revenge, isn't it? :-) - 2:39 AM

Julie from San Diego,
Thanks for your lovely comments. All we can do is our best. Our oldest will be 17 on Friday. I like to think I have a little experience in Autism.
I hope one day you can meet my children too. They are awesome.

Hi Ms.Clark,
Our life is wonderful...hectic, yet wonderful.
The kids are doing so well in school, our 11 year old WILL NOT require services for Special Ed. or Autism as a Middle Schooler.
She scored really high in placement tests. We are so proud of her.
We are so proud of them all.
Jeanette - 6:32 AM
Oh honey, I don't think a therapist is in the cards for that woman. She sees herself as the perfect wife, mother and friend.
However, she is the Queen of Denial.
What sort of person does this as a full-time job with no pay? Does she ever leave her computer? (I kinda doubt it)
You keep up the good work sweetie.
You're a great mom and I know it *clap clap* your kids know it, your husband knows it--we all know it.
Hugs your way,
Amy - 6:26 PM

It's funny how different people observe things differently. I see a bunch of looney tunes women attacking a very nice, intelligent mother of twins. When I see the deranged Diva agreeing with you, I know my perspective is accurate.
- Mom26children said...
Who is attacking who???
Go back and reread the messages.
Very nice or intelligent is not what I would define her as....she cannot even spell correctly for Goodness sakes.
Why don't the two of you have a lovely time over on your very slow blog?

Sheesh. I don't get it. I do not understand why people on the internet are so angry and so full of hate. Aren't we all just trying to do the best for our families? Honestly, why should anyone care what you are or aren't doing, they are YOUR kids and YOUR family, and you have to do what you see fit. Just like I do, and others before me. I have enough to worry about without having to worry about people flaming me on the internet. Seriously, get a life.
I do think that folks spend way too much time on the computer. It's a scary world out there. So much conflicting info. So much stuff that is "too good to be true." Sorry, anything that promises to "Cure my child from evil for the hefty price of $$$$" is too good to be true. Know what? We're happy, he's happy. No one ever said that life would be easy. It isn't easy, but it is good. That's all I could ever want.
C'mon folks. Get a life, quit flaming people. That's for schoolyard bullies. Worry about your own problems and leave other people alone. - 7:55 PM

Tell me who this idiot is and I will go whip some ass!
Jealousy (sp) is the problem with these people, they just cannot stand the fact that your have accepted your children and your life for what it is.
Your supposed to be miserable just like them! - 4:23 AM
- Mom26children said...
Oh Vicki,
This woman is waaayyy beyond jealous, she is plain frickin scary.
She is so far in her "sickness" that she needs real help, real fast.
She has small children and I am worried for them. If she is this scary to someone she doesn't even know, how is she with them???? - 8:38 AM
a very nice, intelligent mother of twins.
I think I just wet myself.
Thanks for the laugh, John! - 6:19 PM

I know Amy...John did everything but tell us her name.

My husband's cousin runs a clinic in WI and UK. WEAP, You might visit the website.
Glen O. Sallows, Ph.D.
Dr. Sallows is a Clinical Psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst. He is the President and co-founder of the Wisconsin Early Autism Project.
I have a question, from seeing your last name, I assume you are Irish (so am I and proud of it). I hear that they have a high rate of autism in Ireland. I don't know where I heard this from, reading something somewhere. Are you directly from Ireland? Has anyone mentioned this before? I wish you and your family all of the best and hope you have a wonderful year ahead. - 8:51 PM
When dgdavis64 finds a rock, she simply cannot stop beating her head with it. Once bloodied, however, she will squeal "victim."
In her blind anger to prove an inane point, or to prove that she is the most prolific bad arse on the internet, she is too thick to even recognize the restraint exercised on part of those she attacks.
Nonetheless, for the sake of her children, I hope the bitter cloud of dysfunction lifts on Creekview Drive, and that she is able to work things out with Andrew.
Well, hey! If that bitter cloud of dysfunction doesn't lift after all of Andrew's hard work in therapy to deal with his wife's anger (poor guy!), he could always cast her aside like he did his first wife! He ditched the first when she started getting a little long in the tooth; a successful guy like that could probably find a younger, thinner wife in no time!
We're pulling for you Andrew, but rest assured that if you decide to call it quits, John Best will be waiting in the wings to take up where you left off....
I think I just threw up a little. - 7:26 AM
Is this person from a message board? This woman's life sounds like a soap opera.
- Phil Schwarz said...
A comment I left on a long thread that had been hijacked by a troll, over on Kristina Chew's AutismVox blog, might be a propos here, to the situation you're in dealing with your "flaming idiot":
(You young 'uns probably have never heard that sound: *plonk* is the sound that a good old-fashioned 1970s-vintage ASCII-text Usenet News reader program made (in the mind's eye — we had to use our imagination!) when you plopped yet another troll's Usenet address onto your killfile. A killfile was a list of people whose posts your newsreader would simply skip and not show you. And Lovaas thinks he invented "extinction". Ha.)
- Foresam said...
You women are nuts (that includes you, Schwarz). If you could learn what Diane is trying to teach you, your kids would be much better off...like hers are.
- Mom26children said...
There in lies the problem John,
this person does not try to teach or help anybody. She is there to bring her hatred and bad spelling.
She does not understand 1/2 of the articles she posts.
If she would be pleasant and not so intent on "putting people in their places", she might be better received.
She is angry and bitter.
She is easily ignored.
Jeanette - 6:26 AM
- Foresam said...
If she didn't have a bunch of loons defending drug companies harping on her every word, you might get along.
She does not bring hatred, she brings knowledge, that you and your friends just don't want to accept. - 7:14 AM
- Mom26children said...
Do you or Diane read what you write before you hit the send button.
You both sound ridiculous.
Please refrain from commenting on my blog, as I have refrained from commenting on yours.
You and Diane may use your lovely blog for your "lovefest". Please don't bring it to mine.
She has lost her mind, as a friend, you should help her find it.
Jeanette - 7:19 AM
If you do not curb this foolishness I will be forced to fetch a "switch." It would at least be handy to scrape the woo from my shoe.
If you are ever in Chesapeake, you might swing by Diane's give her some tips on making friends on the internet.
That way, you can both claim to have a real-life friend, and Andrew would probably appreciate the respite.
Have a sane day. :) - 9:39 AM
- Beau McClelland said...
Just wanted to let you know I back you up whenever I see you flamed. Even if I don't say it publicly. - 12:49 PM
If you find the internet such a hostile place, why don't you log off & go take care of those 6 kids of your's.....or are they on autopilot?
mom26......um aren't you the mom in Texas that threatened to "take 2 of them" with you if you were to die & sterilize a third???
Hum...mommy dearest?????? - 9:09 PM
I hear you offer your "signature" to people on some of the boards you post to....
Isn't that just a bit narcissistic?
Who takes care of your kids while you engage in these flame wars? Maybe a call to the authorities in Austin is in order here. - 9:13 PM
- Mom26children said...
The Anony"coward" duo...
You obviously don't have the backbone to have a person-to-person conversation. Otherwise, you would not hide behind an anonymous label.
When you decide you can be an ADULT, we will talk. I have enough children in my life to take care of.
Jeanette - 9:17 PM
- Mom26children said...
Anonymous #3...
Are you that stupid???
Do you really think that they would find anything???
That sounds like a verifiable threat to me...
Jeanette - 9:19 PM
Threatening to kill your own kid is easily verifiable.
You live in a glass house, providing transparent insights into your intentions.
Only a fool would put their children in jeopardy by exposing their lives on the internet, oh, wait, no one else has threatened to kill them.....
Just you.....
Remaining Anon is how you keep crazy people from finding & killing you. - 9:33 PM
I usually refrain from engaging in these blogs but threatening to call the authorities because you disagree with someone's else opinion on something is way over the top....you need to get help and soon.
You don't know the first thing about Jeanette, Patrick or the kids...you seem bent on harassing her on every possible website she chooses to share her thoughts with....I think you should change your name from Anon to Hitler!!! - 9:44 PM
Wow, you threatened to kill your own children.
That's sick.
I can see where you'd worry....I mean what will they find in a home where the mom openly threatens to kill her children. - 10:14 PM
- Mom26children said...
Anonymous...I am not worried..but you might want to be.
Do you really think you are Anonymous? Do you really think your IP cannot be found?
Because you do not like what I blogged you think it is okay to threaten me...????
How immature can you be?
Diane, you have just shown how really menial you really are...
I am sad for you, but mostly sad for your children.
I will add you in my prayers tonight. - 10:32 PM
And you're going to turn me in for what?
Really, how insane is that?
You have 6 kids, 5 are autistic, but you spend all you time on the net, and are on the record saying you'll "take out" 2 of your own children in the event you're going to die!!!!
But, me, I'm a threat?
To what?
I've never even THOUGHT of harming a hair on the head of my child, much less publicly threatened their lives.
Get a grip. - 10:50 PM
- Mom26children said...
Okay..I will talk to you like you are STUPID..
When you threaten to call in a person or people to authorities for abuse and this abuse is unfounded, that is AGAINST THE LAW.
Filing a false complaint, which you would be doing, is ILLEGAL.
Do you understand that?
Also, my kids are asleep and in bed.
How am I neglecting them?
Do you think before you push the send button?
My children have received funding through MHMR for many years. Once a month we are visited by a Social Worker. Do you think they would leave my children here if they were in any danger?
You guys really need to get off of the internet and get some Sunshine.
My children are amazing. They are well cared for and happy.
Why would you do anything to them, they are innocent? - 10:56 PM
You publicly admitted to thinking of killing 2 of your children.
Now your panties are all wadded up in your crack, worried about a visit from authorities.....
but, you have nothing to worry about, because these authorities are already coming to you house monthly.
Do you read this stuff before you hit "send?"
If you have nothing to worry about, why, pray tell, are you worried? - 11:07 PM
- Mom26children said...
I am not worried at all....I am not the one who "threatened" to call the authorities unwarranted, you are.
If I waited until after you killed one of them......
You figure it out. - 12:00 AM
Someone wise once told me "Don't let the stupidniks get you down." And I can see that you are already following that advice.
If someone is talking about alerting the authorities, they need to be very very careful about what they have written themselves in regards to disciplining their own children. What kind of barbarian uses a switch on developmentally delayed three year olds?! That's just mean and abusive. Of course, she's friends with ForeSam, who beats up Sam with his fists, then uses the lame excuse of "I want to teach him how to fist fight so he won't be a pussy." So the two of them are in good company.
Apparently, these two lovebirds share more than just bad spelling skills. Their child-rearing "skills" are hauntingly similar..... (Now take note Diane, that is correct use of scare quotes. They're used to denote sarcasm.
I wonder if Diane used a switch when her twins were three, what on earth does she use to discipline them now?! Eeeek!
Poor poor Andrew. I wonder if his girlfriend knows about how mean his wife is. At least she can comfort him. :) All Andrew ever sees of Diane is the back of her head and her gigantic ass cascading over the seat of her desk chair. - 10:42 AM
Another message of love from the autism hub. You "ladies" should be ashamed of yourselves. Jeanette is this the type of garbage you want your kids to read on your "upbeat", "positive" blog?
- Mom26children said...
I am sorry I did not respond to the last comment earlier. I have been working at an Autism Workshop all day.
I was going to delete the last few comments that were left, but after I received a PM from the said person from what I wrote about in my blog, I have decided to keep them on.
I am trying my best to ignore this person, yet she is intent on being annoying.
I work in the Autism community. She is saying to me that I am a joke in the Autism Community. Where is she on the weekend and weekdays while I am hard at work with parent's with children with Autism?
Oh, that's right...I remember! - 6:05 PM
Foresam and others who is sided him
is a Joke!!!!!!! They nothing but
bullies who tells lies about you and love the drama because of it. The reason the they are doing it, because of their low self-esteem and they are trying to bring you down with them in order to "feel good" about themselves AND DON'T LET THEM TO THAT TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF!!! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND ENJOY LIFE!!! Bacause the one who do it, It just that they not enjoing life and they are trying to take you down with them too. Just ignore these Jerks!!!!!!!!!! - 5:55 PM
Oh and sone "FLAMING IDIOTS" are trying to do the same as Foresam and others who is sided him, and is also a joke too. Just ignore these Jerks!!!!!!!

The spring selling season is bursting with activity. Buyers are jumping into the spring market in droves to take advantage of low interest rates and lower home prices before they rise any further. The activity is sparking serious competition among buyers who are driving prices upwards with multiple offers above asking price.
Real estate professionals across the region are reporting increased showings and properties going under agreement in a matter of days and weeks. According to Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), buyer activity is 25 percent above a year ago.
While inventory has increased slightly due to the spring selling season, it still isn't enough to level the playing field for buyers. NAR reports that listed inventory remains 16.8 percent below a year ago when there was a 6.2 month supply. At these levels, there is a tremendous opportunity available for home sellers that shouldn't be missed.
For home sellers who are unsure of the value of their home, check the graph to see the activity in the community of most interest, or ask a Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage sales professional to provide an overview of current market trends. Additionally, a competitive market analysis can help determine an appropriate price for the home. According to NAR, the national median existing-home price for all housing types was up 11.8 percent in March when compared to the same time last year. The increase is the strongest since November 2005. The price increase may be enough to make a move.
For those waiting for prices to dramatically increase, stop waiting. When inventory levels begin to build again, the dramatic increase in prices will begin to slow and time on market may be longer. This of course is good news for buyers.
Until then buyers, do your due diligence in advance. Obtain a mortgage pre-approval, which will allow you to make a quick purchase decision in this fast paced environment, and work with a Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage sales professional who will negotiate on your behalf.
Most importantly, keep your homeownership goal in sight. With the right real estate expert as your partner, you'll be moving in no time.

The arrival of Mac OS X Snow Leopard ushers in a new era of accessibility for students of all abilities. Every Mac comes equipped with dozens of assistive technologies — many of which you won't find in other operating systems at any price. And with the development of universal access features for iPod and iPhone, Apple is taking these technologies to a new level.
There are many built-in features on a Mac that accommodate learning disabilities, and help improve productivity and academic performance in reading proficiency, maths, spelling and more.
Text to Speech
For students with cognitive disabilities, the Mac is equipped with Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology that can speak a selection of text or an entire document aloud. Mac TTS includes various male and female voices, including a new, more natural-sounding voice named Alex. Alex actually pauses to "breathe" when speaking long passages and sounds as good at high speed as he does at normal speaking rates. Mac TTS works with all applications that support the Mac OS X Speech engine, including Mail, iChat and TextEdit.
Word Completion
Students can avoid spelling mistakes and reduce keystrokes with the word completion feature of the Mac. After typing a few characters, pressing the Escape key opens up a menu of words to choose from beginning with the characters they typed. It highlights correct word usage and it's available in most applications.
Assignments are always easy to find with the Finder, which can display Mac documents as images, icons or text. There's also Spotlight, a searching feature built into the Mac that finds all files related to a search term, wherever they are located on the computer.
Staying on task is simpler with Spaces, a feature that lets students group applications and documents into separate areas for each subject (maths, science and so on).
Built-in Spelling and Grammar Checking
Every Mac provides students with the benefits of resources such as the New Oxford American Dictionary, Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus, Apple Dictionary, Wikipedia, scientific reference materials, and grammar and pronunciation guides. All of the Mac applications access the same dictionaries, ensuring consistency when grammar- and spell-checking documents. If a student adds new words to the spelling or grammar dictionary in one application, they are automatically applied to all other applications.
iCal, a built-in calendar application, brings order to a busy student's life by keeping track of and sending reminders for class schedules, homework deadlines or team meetings.
A full-featured graphic calculator, Grapher is a powerful tool for maths at any level. It enables the real-time analysis of mathematical equations and it's easy to use.
iPod and iPhone for the learning disabled
iPod touch and iPhone are powerful tools for distributing lessons, connecting to iTunes content while on the go, and accessing useful apps created specifically for students with learning disabilities.
In addition to basic features that allow blind and low-vision students to magnify the screen, adjust display contrast and increase cursor size, other technologies unique to the Mac are built right into the operating system.
VoiceOver is an advanced screen-reading technology that goes well beyond Text to Speech. Students can hear a spoken description of what's onscreen and are able to control their computer using only the keyboard (no mouse required). They can also use VoiceOver to browse the web, chat, send and receive email, use iTunes, edit text documents, and more.
VoiceOver is simple to use. Settings can be customised, and preferences can be saved on a USB flash drive and applied to other Mac computers. So schools don't need to set a particular computer aside for Special Education use only — every Mac can be used by any student.
Text to Speech
The Mac is equipped with speech technologies that include talking alerts (which speak the content of dialogs and alerts), a talking calculator, a talking clock and Text to Speech (TTS), a feature that reads selected text aloud. TTS works with all applications that support the Mac OS X Speech engine, including Mail, iChat and TextEdit.
Refreshable Braille
Display Support
VoiceOver supports over 40 different models of refreshable braille displays — including wireless Bluetooth displays — that, once connected to the Mac, are automatically programmed to work. Best of all, it exhibits spoken output as text or braille onscreen, allowing for more effective collaboration with other students, whether or not they have visual disabilities.
Screen Magnification
With a feature called Zoom, students can magnify the entire screen up to 40x by using the scroll wheel on a mouse, a trackpad gesture or keyboard commands. Text, graphics and even video can be magnified without affecting system performance.
There are three modes of interaction to choose from — arrow centred onscreen; screen follows arrow; screen moves only when you reach an edge.
New in Snow Leopard
Mac OS X Snow Leopard includes new accessibility tools for low-vision students, including a feature called Braille Mirroring that allows one Mac to control multiple USB braille displays simultaneously. So teachers can lead an entire class through the same lesson at the same time, even if the students are using different models of braille displays.
Snow Leopard also includes a feature that allows students to control the computer using gestures on a Multi-Touch trackpad. The surface of the trackpad acts as the active window on the computer, so students can use one finger to point at and hear what's on their screen.
Learn more about the new features in Snow Leopard
iPod and iPhone for blind and low-vision students
The iPod nano and iPod shuffle feature spoken menu technology that blind and low-vision students can use to easily find a song or playlist. They can access mobile content, apps and more using the iPhone, which features screen magnification and gesture-based VoiceOver. Learn more about iPod features for visually impaired students
Learn more about iPhone features for visually impaired students
For deaf and hard-of-hearing students, every Mac comes with powerful tools ranging from caption support to Internet-based sign-language communication to auditory comprehension tools.
Every MacBook and iMac is equipped with a built-in iSight camera and Apple's exclusive iChat software. iChat allows students to collaborate in real time with teachers or other students using text messages or video conferencing. It's also able to deliver fast frame rates and high-quality video so that students can communicate clearly using sign language. Students can participate in multiple chats at the same time, engage in group chats, share their work with others during a chat session, and even simultaneously edit the same document.
GarageBand is part of the award-winning iLife suite of digital media applications that is included with every Mac. Schools are using GarageBand to improve auditory comprehension among deaf and hard-of-hearing students — particularly those adjusting to new cochlear implants. Teachers create podcasts of conversational speech and download them to an iPod, which students use to learn inflection and how to differentiate one voice from another.
Closed Captioning
With a Mac, displaying open and closed captioning in QuickTime and DVD Player is simple. Students can also download and watch captioned films and other iTunes content on iPod, iPhone and even PCs (using QuickTime for Windows). Learn about creating accessible iTunes U content
Photo Booth
Photo Booth, an application for taking photos and video using the iSight camera, gives deaf and hard-of-hearing students another way to communicate using sign language. With one click, a student can record a video message. Then with a second click, that video can be emailed to others.
iPod and iPhone for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
With iPod touch and iPhone, students can easily activate Mono Audio and access useful applications developed especially to enhance these media players for the deaf and hard-of-hearing.
With the Mac, students with physical and motor-skill challenges can control their computer using the keyboard, mouse or trackpad — whichever works best for them.
Using Apple's exclusive Automator application, routine tasks that might overwhelm a student can be executed with a single click. Simply record the task once — from that point on, Automator will perform the entire task on demand and with little effort.
Slow Keys
Students who have difficulty typing can avoid unintended multiple keystrokes by activating Slow Keys. This feature adds a delay between when a key is pressed and when its action is accepted, so there's less chance of a mistake.
Mouse Keys
Students who find it challenging to control a mouse can use Mouse Keys to move the mouse pointer using the keys on a numeric keypad. This can make it easier to navigate menus, windows, toolbars, colour palettes and more.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Using keyboard shortcuts (or key combinations), students can quickly perform a wide range of tasks without touching a mouse or pulling down menus. In addition to the many predefined keyboard shortcuts included with the Mac operating system, students can create their own or remove shortcuts they don't use. Shortcuts can be systemwide or made to work only in specific applications.
Sticky Keys
Keyboard shortcuts may be helpful for many students, but not for those who have difficulty pressing multiple keys at the same time. So Apple designed Sticky Keys, which lets students enter key combinations (called "chords") — such as Command-Q (for Quit) or Shift-Option-8 (to enter the ° symbol) — by pressing them in sequence instead of simultaneously.
Multi-Touch Trackpad
The unique Multi-Touch technology built into every new MacBook gives students a whole new way to navigate the screen; zoom in on text, flip through a photo library or fine-tune a photo using simple gestures with their fingertips.
The Mac also comes with built-in handwriting recognition technology called Inkwell. Students simply connect a graphics tablet to their Mac and write on the tablet using a stylus. Inkwell translates what they've written into onscreen text.
Inkwell supports several standard stylus gestures, making it easy to
select, edit and delete text. It can also convert English, French and German text.
iPod and iPhone for the motor-skills impaired
iPod touch and iPhone use a high-resolution Multi-Touch screen, ideal for those who have difficulty using a traditional keyboard and mouse. Students can also access a variety of apps designed to enhance iPod touch and iPhone for those who have difficulty speaking.

Nokia Lumia 920 Review
Nokia's flagship Windows Phone 8 smartphone, the Lumia 920 hit the shops on 2nd November. Looking good in a range of bright colours, the phone has a one-piece polycarbonate body with ceramic zirconium camera detailing and side keys. It's equipped with a massive 2000mAh non-removable battery and is a heavy phone, weighing in at a pocket-splitting 185g. Running Windows Phone 8, this is the first Windows phone from Nokia to use a dual-core processor. The two big highlights of the 920 are its camera and wireless charging. CameraNokia have a very strong reputation for camera phones, and the 920 is one of its most innovative ever, with 8.7 megapixels, PureView technology, a Carl Zeiss lens and Optical Image Stabilisation.PureView is Nokia's innovative solution to low light photography, and uses a pixel oversampling technique to improve picture quality in low light. The extra-large f2.0 lens will let in many times more light than other smartphone cameras. Optical Image Stabilisation is a first and will produce blur-free photos and videos in even low-light or fast moving situations. And the pulsed dual-LED flash promises to be one of the brightest of any camera phone. Smart Shoot lets you choose the best group photo by picking the best expression for each person. A dedicated camera key completes the package. Wireless chargingThe Lumia 920 can be recharged wirelessly by electromagnetic induction using any Qi-compatible charger. If you have any concerns about the safety of moving significant amounts of electric current through the air, then don't be! The same technology has been in use for many years in induction hobs for high-end kitchens.PureMotion displayThe screen will be the world's highest resolution display at 1280 x 768 pixels. That's even higher than the HD displays on the HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Sony Xperia T.Nokia claim that the Lumia's 4.5 inch curved screen is the "worlds brightest, clearest, fastest touchscreen". That's quite a claim to make. But a cool feature to note is that the touchscreen can be used even when wearing gloves! A must-have feature for Finnish users everywhere!
