OFFICIAL SPECULATION THREAD re: Release date of POD HD500/Desktop/Pro v2.x
Like (1)
I'm taking a cue from jimsreynolds who wisely started the inevitable thread about the Pod HD300/400 users getting new amp models before the HD500/Desktop/Pro users. This is useful to try to centralize the discussion. Here is the official place to speculate and vent your frustration about the associated HD500/Desktop/Pro update. Thanks for your inspiration, Jim.
The usual pattern goes something like this:
- pick an arbitrary speculative date, based on nothing more than throwing a dart at a calendar page. I've seen a couple of dates already in other threads.
- publicize that date as if you know what you're talking about
- reinforce that date within your own mind so that it takes on unwarranted significance
- check the Software Downloads page at least daily - preferably more often - to maximize yourt frustration and disappointment
- complain loudly and often when you think the release is 'late' or 'taking too long', based on nothing more than your feelings. Complain particularly loudly about Line 6's policy of not providing advance notice of release dates - even vague notices like 'coming soon'. For some excellent examples of how to do this, please refer to the many threads on this topic in the lead-up to the most recent HD300/400 release. (That's another reason why I think this official thread will be useful - it will simplify future searches for useful examples of good whining techniques).
- repeat the previous step several times
- speculate on the reasons that it is 'taking so long', making sure to severely diss Line 6 as a customer service organization. Again. historical examples are very useful.
- repeat the previous step several times
- say nothing positive when the update is eventually released. A particularly effective closing comment is along the lines of "Well, finally it's here. I might not sell this POS after all, but I'm never buying Line 6 again after this horrendous experience."
It's all great fun, and highly entertaining for the reader. Please have a go at it!
Personally, I think it will be released on August 27, because it's my birthday. And also because I have a lot of inside information --- wait, I can't say that--- I really don't have any inside info -- or maybe I do........
You have already said too much...black helicopters are on the way.
it is not a speculation but now, we, the HD500 user´s are the best example of: "pay more and get less"
We want the same what we are saying always and we are waiting: SLO100
I just wanted to chime in and say that August 27th is my birthday a well!
The rest of what you are asking is not a concern since I recently upgraded from a HD400 to the HD500 and I am still having fun with what is there now. I have not messed much with what was added on the v2 update so I can wait awhile.
When are they going to release it?
Sorry I know this isn't in the spirit of the main message (as I am not going to whine about delays).
As far as I see it the big difference is / was that the 300/400 users felt hard done by (in my opinion legitimately), as a firmware update for their product had been announced but was longer in coming than they though it should be. They now have their update and lucky for them there were extras as well.
As I see it the fact is that the 300/400/500 ARE different products with different hardware etc. Just because one or two in the range are updated we shouldn't make the assumption that the update is imminent or even coming at all for the others in the range. Correct me if I am wrong but I didn't think Line 6 have actually said anything about an update for the 500 series? Don't mis-understand me I will be more than happy to install the update if and when (and lets be honest it is probably a case of when not if) it arrives. But right now I am happy in the knowledge that the kit I bought a year or so ago can not only do what I bought it to do but actually a great deal more thanks to the previous update.
I have a direct decendant of Paul the Octopus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Octopus ) who has indicated clearly and with confidence that the firmware update will be released 'soon'. I will take follow uip questions but make them quick becasue the wife is away at summer school and I have promised the kids Calimari for tea tonight.
I am happy for the HD300/400 owners
I was supposed to get the hd300 instead of the hd500
But it was my birthday and i got a 20% discount
I went with the hd500 instead because research showed it had a lot more functionality and features
I aint ever gonna whine
I got what i paid for and the same would of been said if I went with the hd300
Seems like Line6 cannot serve both groups of useres at the same time. So it's one behind the other which may take sevaral weeks or months. And because it takes time to respect each hardware they put in all the current information they've got. Let's imagine it took 6 months for the next firmware version which is the time all HD300/400 useres had been waiting. During this time, maybe they already modeled 5 more amps. So why not make them part of the new firmware and let them finish their work before they continue with HD500/pro users? I cannot imagine Line6 are modelling amps just for one kind of unit. I think after the modelling process the algorithms can be applied directly to the higher devices (500/pro/bean) without problem.
And that's why they have no date for HD500/pro users until now. Because they have just finished their work on HD300/400. Now they start with HD500/pro users (with already modeled amps).
i dunno....
as i see it... L6 are simply showing they dont have the manpower to support all these devices.. its "rob Peter to pay Paul"
they slighted the 300/400 customers... so they worked to make up for it, but have now slapped the top-end users in the face...
offering 29 amps in the low end and 25 for the top end.... that is completely backwards and a sign of incompetence.. just imo i guess... but its pretty hard to defend this action
Well done that man, your positive input to this thread deserves a big
I think Line 6 are on the hook to provide bugfixes for their software to ensure that the product does what it purports to do
That's all.
Anything else that I get is a freebie. I like freebies but I am not entitled to freebies. If I went with a Roland product it would not even cross my mind that I hadn't had my freebie yet because they simply don't provide them. Roland gear is cool too but it is what it is and nobody complains. At what point did we start kicking people who give us something for nothing?
My HD500 still does a heck of a lot more than the HD400 I considered when I went out and bought it and for me it was all about functionality. When new amps arrive it is fun and groovy but I ain't gonna sit with bated breath waiting for them.
If the product streams are out of lockstep for a bit: so be it.
"Soon" !!
That's funny, I expect nothing less from a bunch of guitar players...I suppose that concept is hard to understand for some folks that would rather them adhere some sort of idealistic vision of Dilbert...
PaulBateman wrote:
... but its pretty hard to defend this action
I'm pretty sure this is how things are being done................because the specific technical skill sets of Groups A and B are different, and you can't simply reassign the people ...
One group of developers (GroupA) is working continuously to get new amp models ready for release (DSP development skills)
Simultaneously, another group of developers (Group B) is preparing firmware updates for the different products, (software integration and release management skills) and including the latest available amp models made ready by Group A.
Group B competes the HD500 release, and begins to prepare the HD300/400 release. By the time this is ready, Group A has made new amp models available.
Question: Should Line 6 include the new available amps in the HD300/400 release? Why would they withhold available goodies form the customers who purchased the less expensive products? Simply to appease the others? It seems pretty hard to defend that action.
for one... screw the whole lets be positive about everything... this isnt nazi germany, its the internet... forums are for people with issues, not to all talk about how awesome Line6 is..
and you miss my point... offering 29 amps in the cheapest model you make while only offering 25 in the top end units is idiotic period. As it stands right now and if i were in the market.. there is no way in hell i would buy the 500 or pro... the 300 offers more of what i want. for much less money..
there is only one logical reason... to sell the loads of 300/400 units out in the market.... or unless the profit margins are much higher on the 300/400 (which i doubt greatly)
and my point remains... if anything, those customers shouldnt have to wait so long to get updates they were promised... but they should NEVER get features before your higher end units... thats basic business..
im not hating... like i seem to need to point out every time i post, i am happy with my 500.... but that doesnt mean i have to agree with everything they do
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Gonzalez could face a maximum sentence of 15 years if convicted of the charge.
In March 2007, Wilson was sentenced to death for killing the two undercover officers, James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews, on Staten Island during a gun sale. He was the first person in the city to receive the death sentence by a federal jury since 1954.
His sentence was overturned in 2010 on procedural grounds. A new jury must now determine whether Wilson receives a death sentence or life in prison.

Chapters: 163 | Updated: Mar 13 2013 | Status:
Tags: Action,
Summary: Blade of the Immortal follows the deeds of Manji, a skilled samurai who has a decisive advantage: no wound can kill him, except for a rare poison. In the past, his criminal actions led to the death of 100 other samurai (including his sister's husband). He becomes immortal at the hand of a 800-year-old nun named Yaobikuni, and is compelled by the death of his sister to accept the quest that will end his agelessness. He has vowed to make amends by killing 1000 evil men, and until he does Manji will be kept alive by kessen-chū (血仙蟲 "sacred bloodworms"), remarkable creatures that allow him to survive nearly any injury and reattach severed limbs even after hours of separation. They work by sacrificing themselves to seal the wound - they're worms that were bred to be as close in their chemical and physical make-up to humans as you can get without being human. They cannot handle regrowth on a large scale, but, for example, can reattach a severed limb or seal a hole in the brain.

Zoning Rewrite Would Help Residents Age in Place
The county's zoning rewrite would allow a residential neighborhood to change, gradually, to diversify its housing stock.
The revisions in the works for Montgomery County's aging zoning code—which dates to 1977 and is more than 1,200 pages long—are meant, among other things, to help Montgomery County's residents age in place, architect and sustainability expert Carl Elefante said. In the planning department's December 2012 cable show Montgomery Plans, Elefante—who served on the planning department's advisory panel when planning staff drafted the zoning code rewrite—explained how the county's ambitious Zoning Rewrite Project would make it possible for residents to stay in their communities as they grow older. The zoning rewrite—which is entering into its final stages of revisions—is meant to allow for more variety in residence size and type within a …

A measure to try to prevent people from using the Internet to bully children received a hearing today from lawmakers in Annapolis.
The House Judiciary Committee heard testimony on the Cyberbullying Prevention Act.
The bill, would prohibit electronic harassment of a minor based on sex, race or sexual orientation.
Violators would face up to a year in jail or a $500 fine.
Baltimore County Delegate Jon Cardin drafted the bill after a number of publicized cases of cyberbullying including last year's suicide of Grace McComas.
The Howard County teenager killed herself on Easter Sunday, after she had repeatedly been harassed online.
McComas' parents and two older sisters testified in favor of the bill.
Grace's mother Chris told lawmakers that this bill might have prevented her daughter's death, as the family could do nothing to stop the online harassment from a teenage neighbor.
"No one was able to make him accountable, or even make him apologize," Chris McComas tearfully told lawmakers.
"We trusted that they would help us, and Grace trusted all of us to help her and we failed her miserably."
Grace's oldest sister Cara, who is a nursing student at Stevenson University also testified.
"The first time I ever did CPR was on my sister last Easter morning. This should have never happened," Cara McComas told the committee.
Baltimore Ravens' running back Ray Rice, who has started a foundation to fight school bullying, offered written testimony to the committee.
WBAL's Keith Mills, who has volunteered for Rice's foundation, read the testimony at the hearing.
In his written testimony, Rice describes how his younger sister was bullied recently at school.
"We cannot protect every child from bullying, but we can protect children from being bullied over and over again. A law like this helps people like me and other responsible adults by allowing us to protect our loved ones from repeated and traumatic bullying.," Rice says in his testimony.
"Anything we can do to prevent one more child from taking their life or suffering through the pain and anguish of bullying, is the right thing to do. I believe that this law may have saved the life of Grace McComas and it certainly will save the lives of other young men and women in the future," Rice added.
Karen Brocklebank of Columbia also testified.
She told told lawmakers about her 13 year old son Noah, who threatened suicide after he was repeatedly bullied online.
Brocklebank started a worldwide letter writing campaign in which people were asked to send letters of encouragement to her son. Noah has received cards and letters from as far away as McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
She says legislation like this would put a stop to cyberbullying.
"Cyberbullying is not something you can just turn off. It is another far reaching tool in the bully's arsenal," Brocklebank told the committee.
Some members of the committee questioned the need for this bill.
Garrett County Democratic Delegate Kevin Kelly said the school system and prosecutors in Howard County failed Grace McComas, noting the matter would have been handled differently in his district.
"I guarantee you one thing, they would have dragged that young kid in, with his parents and read the riot act, and it would have stopped. I cannot believe with all of the laws out there, and all the resources that something like this could happen," Kelly said during the hearing.
Ricardo Flores, an attorney with the Maryland State Office of the Public Defender testified in opposition to the bill, noting this type of bullying is already illegal under the state's harassment law.
"Our position is not that the incident or behaviors shouldn't be illegal. Our position today is that most of it already is," Flores testified.
Several witnesses who opposed the bill also questioned the constitutionality of the bill.
"This bill would criminalize such things as public scorn, hatred, contempt and ridicule," ACLU attorney Sarah Love testified.
"While those things that are dealt with in the civil sphere, they are not nearly specific enough to withstand constitutional scrutiny to be crimes."
Duane "Shorty" Davis of Baltimore also testified against the bill.
The activist said the bill wouldn't stop bullying, noting that there needs to be more anti-bullying programs in schools and in community centers, to change attitudes.
"When it comes to cybernet bullying...you don't have to have more laws on the books, you have to have more people concerned," Davis testified.
Davis received notoriety in 2011 when he was accused of of placing a phony explosive device in a public place, and making a false statement to police, after he placed a toilet containing newspaper clippings and a black and white television in front of the Old Baltimore County Courthouse in Towson.
He was acquitted of all criminal charges later that year.
The incident was a form of political protest and to call attention to the 2006 murder of his son which occurred outside Chicago.

Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium 30 roller Hairsetter

JanetHairDark BrownNormal HairThick or Coarse HairWorks Better Than ExpectedWith all these negative reviews, I was expecting the worse from this hair setter. It worked exactly how I had hoped. The large rollers gave my hair body, while the small rollers created beautiful bouncy curls. My hair didn't look like a work, thankfully, which is the last thing I wanted. My only complaint was that there weren't enough clips. Otherwise, a pretty good hair setter.posted Jun 8, 2012Link to this post
Lana P.Brooklyn, NYHairDark BrownOily HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairIt's Nice But Doesn't Hold The Curls For A Long Time.I purchased this for my mother in order to replace her paraffin rollers which she had for 15 years. I wanted to get her something that she doesn't need to biol in order to get them hot. So I though I found the perfect solution with this set but I was disappointed in the results. My mom has thick full hair and she advised me that the rollers heat up well but they do not keep the heat in them for a long time like her paraffin rollers did. She said that after ten minutes on the hair, the rollers were barely warm, hence the results did not last either. I think the reason that it doesn't keep heat for a long time is because the rollers are made of plastic. After trying another similar set like this one, my mom decided that she wants nothing else but her old paraffin rollers.posted Jun 1, 2012Link to this post

JulieHairBlackThick or Coarse HairHorribleWith extensive research I thought this product would be amazing, but there are a lot of reviews out there that gives this product wwaayyy to much credit. After a half an hour plugged in on High, the rollers are still just warm. The curls lose their bounce after about 15 mins. It's bulky and hard to fit on the counter top. It also gives off a horrible plastic smell still after many uses, when it's heating up.posted Mar 12, 2012Link to this post

LaurenHairDark BrownNormal HairDefinitely Not Worth The MoneyFor years I have been using my mom's hot rollers from the 80's and I decided that I should probably do an upgrade. I got these thinking that for the money I couldn't go wrong. The product looks great, with more than enough pieces, and the clips don't leave any kinks, which is great. But the rollers just don't get hot enough to really create a curl that lasts. My hair looked okay for the first 10-15 minutes but the coolers almost immediately fell. I wouldn't definintely not recommend these. My hot rollers are 20+ years old and work twenty times better.posted Dec 29, 2011Link to this post

wouldn't it be interesting to find someone who was there and hear what they had to say today?
Positively new scene Bob shot where Bob discusses Eugene not well done enough. Absolutely insist Norman direct it. Must have intensity punch. Should be terrific music for this essential. Redubb Fanny "George, George", which got big laugh. Take out note of complaint, change to major key but still hushed. Sure this will kill laugh or I'm crazy. I guess I am anyway.

Positively new scene Bob shot where Bob discusses Eugene not well done enough. Absolutely insist Norman direct it. Must have intensity punch. Should be terrific music for this essential. Redubb Fanny "George, George", which got big laugh. Take out note of complaint, change to major key but still hushed. Sure this will kill laugh or I'm crazy. I guess I am anyway.
Much love,
The picture as it now stands is 2 hours and 11 minutes long, and I feel very definitely that we must get some footage out of it. I would like to cut three scenes - - the factory and the two porch scenes. This would take out almost 11 minutes and bring the show down to just over two hours.
This cut would make perfect continuity and would not lose any story for us. The scenes we are losing are both darn good scenes, but it is going to be a matter of sacrifice wherever we lose footage and I feel that the footage in this part of the picture makes all of our later and more important scenes seem much longer. You will find in the alternates, film that we have made up to make this cut in the picture.
Jack agrees with these three cuts and in addition has other cuts and retakes he feels would help the show. One is to drop the bathroom scene between George and Jack and fade out on Mrs. Johnson's house. He feels that all the points in the bathroom scene are brought out in other scenes and that it would be better continuity to go from Mrs. Johnson's to George unwrapping the picture and turning Eugene away at the door.
Jack was quite bothered by Isabel's walk during the first part of Eugene's letter to her. He didn't mind it after she had sat down and the last walk up to the camera was all right, but the first part he felt was stagey and awkward. He suggested playing the first part of the letter over some shot of the inside of the house and then lapping to Isabel seated. You will find a rushed version of this among your alternates but we are making a new one with all the pauses shortened in the letter and with Eugene's voice reverberated to try and give an effect to it. I certainly agree that Isabel's first walk is bad, but I am not sure that this is the remedy. Have you any other ideas?
As I have said earlier in the letter, we have made and are sending to you the scene you requested of Isabel unconscious on the floor. However, both Jack and I feel that the cuts you propose to make using this scene are entirely too drastic and are sure that once you see the picture you will wholeheartedly agree with us. It is true that we need footage out of the show but not to the extent that we must definitely hurt the picture to make it shorter, for that is what we feel you will be doing in making such cuts.
If you are proposing the cuts for any other reason then footage, we cannot help but feel that you have been ill-advised as to the quality of the show and cannot too strongly urge you to reconsider these cuts.
All of us up here feel very definitely that you have a very fine picture and that you needn't sacrifice it for any reason.
"Welles liked to depict (RKO head George) Schaefer as something of a buffoon, as with the story that he had fallen asleep when The Magnificent Ambersons was first pitched to him. Perhaps he had, but Welles always neglected to mention that when Schaefer did give his assent for the film to proceed, it was with a major condition. Welles would give up the right of final cut which he had enjoyed in his original contract; after the first preview of The Magnificent Ambersons, the film could be edited at RKO's sole discretion."
"The inherent wisdom of the public had been a theme of Orson's since he and Roger Hill had planned Everybody's Shakespeare, and the troubled relationship between the privileged artist/intellectual (such as he clearly was) and the general public was to become an important subtext of Orson's politics. In his case, it was a relationship that had been seriously put in question at the Ambersons screening at Pomona, which, for Orson, had epitomized the mass audience's unexpected rejection of what he had hoped to communicate to them."
Carringer accept(s) without qualm the conclusion of studio executive George Scahaefer that the first preview of Ambersons, when a version approximating Welles's own version was shown, was a "disaster"...I've seen most of the 125 "comment cards" myself - fifty-three of which were positive, some of them outright raves ("a masterpiece with perfect photography, settings and acting"; "the best picture I have ever seen") - and would conclude that declaring the preview a "disaster" on the basis of those cards is a highly subjective matter, very much dependant on what one is predisposed to look for."
"Schaefer and his associates advocate many drastic cuts, mainly for purposes of shortening length. Bob Wise, Joe Cotten and myself have conferred analyzing audience reactions and exercising our best judgment we believe the following suggested continuity would remove slow spots and bring out the heart qualities of the picture."
The preview system itself was based upon a very skewed form of faith in the inherent wisdom of the paying public. David Selznick highlighted the fallacy it played upon when writing about the possibility of reviewing REBECCA in December 1939. His comments apply just as well to THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS:
"It is a very tricky picture, with very peculiar moods and a very strange sort of construction and playing. I don't want to take the chance of finally editing it according to the reactions of an audience that has come to see a Marx Bros. picture, or even a Joan Crawford picture, as might be the case at previews. I think the whole preview system is wrong, in that it is the equivalent of trying out a Eugene O'Neill play on the road by advertising to the public that they are going to see the Ziegfield Follies, and then having the reactions of the Follies audience determine how the O'Neill play should be cut."
Even though much of what was lost in the so-called "big cut" was exquisitely shot,...there is a lot of merit in the single hefty cut volunteered by Welles...The whole European sojourn reads like a segment from a bad eighteenth-century novel...Isabel dying because she is unable to reconcile her divided feelings is equally contrived, but far more aesthetically satisfying. It also makes George's rejection of Eugene as his mother's suitor an impulsive act, the tragic consequences of which happen too soon for him to recant his initial course of action.

Ukraine's ruling party took the largest share of votes in Sunday's parliamentary elections, according to exit polls, leading all opposition parties in a contest seen as a test for democracy in the former Soviet republic.
President Viktor Yanukovich's Party of Regions took 28.1% of the vote in a field of five parties expected to hold seats in parliament, according to Ukraine's National Exit Poll. The United Opposition coalition, organized by jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and her allies, followed with 24.7%.
Two parties that coordinated with United Opposition had strong showings as well. Running third, with 15.1%, was the Udar ("Punch") party of heavyweight boxing champ Vitali Klitchko. And the Svoboda ("Freedom") party was fourth with 12.3%, the poll found.
If the count follows the exit polls, that would leave Yanukovich dealing with a parliament likely to be dominated by opposition parties.
"The results of exit polls show clearly that people of Ukraine support the opposition, not the government," United Opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk told reporters after polls closed Sunday night. "And that's the clear sign that we still have democracy in this country."
There was no immediate response to the results from the Party of Regions.
Ukraine's Communists were running in fifth place with 11.8%, according to the exit poll.
The Central Electoral Commission released the first actual results late Sunday from overseas votes and small precincts within Ukraine. Those numbers -- about one-tenth of one percent of the total -- showed Yanukovich's party with 50.7%, the United Opposition with 14.9%, the Communists with 14.6%, Udar with 7% and Svoboda with 5.8%.
Ukraine has become increasingly isolated under Yanukovich, with Western observers accusing his ruling party of corruption, political persecution and a drift towards authoritarianism. Those concerns are embodied in the treatment of Tymoshenko, who is serving a seven-year sentence for abuse of power after what the United States and European Union have both called a politically motivated show trial.
Tymoshenko pleaded with Ukrainians to oppose what she called the country's "mafia regime" in a video her lawyer smuggled out of her lockup in September.

Dear Monarch Watchers,
I've published two studies on the impacts of mosquito spraying on monarchs. Most mosquito control district use a variety of different pyrethroids in mosquito abatement efforts, and these can be sprayed as ULV (ultra low volume, or aerosol) treatments, or as barrier treatments. The ULV treatments affect insects as they're flying, and the barrier treatments remain on leaves, providing a barrier to mosquitoes that harbor in wooded or shrubby areas during the day and come out at dawn or dusk. While it is generally thought that the formulations of permethrin used for mosquito control do not pose unreasonable risks to wildlife or the environment (U.S. EPA 2003), our study is one of the few that has examined the nontarget effects of barrier applications of permethrin on foliage-inhabiting arthropods, like monarchs. Both studies showed impacts on monarch larvae AND adults, with leaves from the barrier treatments resulting in higher mortality than control groups up to 3 weeks after application.

Motherly advice: McKinney author's teen-motherhood books used at Dallas schools, detention centers
Photo courtesy of Erica Mills-Hollis - McKinney author Erica Mills-Hollis reads an excerpt from her book, "Dreams Altered But Not Abandoned - The Teen Mom Experience," at the Tulisoma Book Fair in Dallas. Mills-Hollis, a former teenage mother who started her own publishing company in 2010, has written two books intended to help and motivate teen moms and young women.
By Chris Beattie, email@example.com
Teenage pregnancy is one of six "winnable battles" in public health, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently announced.
Erica Mills-Hollis is living proof.
Indeed, it appears America has been winning the battle for more than two decades. Pregnancy rates for girls ages 15-19 across the U.S. dipped 39 percent between 1988 and 2008, accounting for a 27 percent drop in Texas, according to a report released by the Guttmacher Institute earlier this year.
"Statistics say the teen pregnancy rate has dropped, and that's awesome," said Mills-Hollis, a McKinney author who has written two books aimed at preventing teen pregnancy and helping teen moms and moms-to-be. "But it still exists, so there's work to be done."
In the Dallas area, some of that work goes by the name Precious Heart Publishing, the company Mills-Hollis started in 2010 through which she wrote and released, "Dreams Altered But Not Abandoned - The Teen Mom Experience."
The book is a teen mom's guide to navigating through the balance, motivation and strategies necessary to keep dreams alive while rearing a child. It's a guide to a battle for which Mills-Hollis has been on the front lines since she was 15.
Now 34, living with her husband and two sons, she had her older son, Erique, at age 16. Her boyfriend, Erique's biological father, had given her everything her own father wouldn't - compliments, care, encouragement - and a baby bump resulted, her picturesque future seemingly unraveled, she said.
"It was very rough because I knew everything would change," she recalled. "I wasn't going to be a kid anymore; I wasn't going to get to go to prom or stay in a dorm at college."
It was 1994, so she could have felt like another statistic, like she'd forever be another small-town girl who got pregnant in high school. Teen pregnancies had not yet seriously declined around the U.S.; the nation hit its peak rate of 117 pregnancies per 1,000 teens just four years prior, according to the Guttmacher report, "U.S. Teenage Pregnancies, Births and Abortions, 2008: State Trends by Age, Race and Ethnicity."
Long before popular TV shows like "Teen Mom" and "16 and Pregnant" tried to document the experience, Mills-Hollis lived it. And she didn't get paid for her sudden sacrifices.
"It's hard," she said. "You're a kid yourself, you're still learning, and now you have to raise this other person."
With support from her mother, Mills-Hollis earned her GED and landed several solid jobs without extensive education. She raised Erique and got an associate's degree from Collin County Community College (now Collin College), and did so how most teen moms must - without TV cameras and compensation. "It's glamorized because [those shows] don't portray the everyday life," Mills-Hollis said. "Reality is, you have to work, you have to go to school and you take care of the baby."
That she did for more than a decade, all the while writing, fueled by a passion there since her mother bought her a diary as a young girl. She married King Hollis and the two moved to McKinney, where she had her second son, Uriah, about five years ago.
Mills-Hollis works her days in public relations for Frito Lay, and for the past few years, has spent her nights pushing Precious Heart to the public. Dallas ISD schools give copies of "Dreams Altered but Not Abandoned" to students in their teen mom program. Her second book, "365 Daily Inspirations & Quotes for the Fascinating Teen Girl," is passed out to girls at detention centers, on their way to prison.
"Every day of the year, it gives them some type of encouragement, some type of motivation," she said, adding that she wrote it to help teens prevent pregnancies.
The Guttmacher report showed that in 2008, the last year for which comprehensive information is available, Texas had the third-highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation, behind just New Mexico and Mississippi.
But the national rate, 68 pregnancies per 1,000 teens, was a 40-year low. Lead researchers in the report point toward tangible reasons for the decrease.
"There are a few key factors driving the long-term declines in teen pregnancies," Guttmacher senior researcher Laura Lindberg said in a recent statement on the report. "It is now the norm for teens to use contraceptives at first sex, which creates a pattern of continued contraceptive use down the road. Additionally, teens increasingly use the most effective birth-control methods, including hormonal methods and long-acting contraceptive methods like the IUD. By contrast, there has been less change in teens' levels of sexual activity."
Evidenced by chapters in her initial book that talk of birth control and contraceptives, Mills-Hollis seems to agree with the Guttmacher correlation. "I know abstinence is the only 100 percent way [to avoid pregnancy], but we're living in reality," she said. "We can tell them, 'No, no, no,' all we want."
Also related to many girls' aptness toward early pregnancy is their upbringing, she added, saying that a girl's father often sets the stage for how she interacts with men as a teen.
"A dad sets a standard for that young girl; he's supposed to treat her in a certain way so she knows her worth," she said. "When she doesn't have that, she's willing to accept any man who's saying things like, 'I love you.'
"You don't know your self-worth at that age unless you have someone putting that into you."
In December, Mills-Hollis published her third project, a children's book about a boy's love for his mother. She speaks at area events on teen pregnancy and its life-altering - but not abandoning - effects.
A different "teen mom" show could be in her future, she said, one dedicated to giving them advice and hard truths, instead of money. Until then, she'll continue the battle she now knows how to win - even if that means another sacrifice.
"If I can reach out to one girl, just one, my job is done," she said. "I want my first book to be taken off the shelf; I don't want there to be a need for it anymore."

Emphasis on Spanish speaking voters
By: Mark Gruba
Updated: August 21, 2012
At Los Primos Deli in Rochester, Leonides Matos is among the bilingual customers. She moved to Rochester from Puerto Rico four years ago. She said at first it was tough. "When I first came here I didn't understand very well, and it kind of upset me because I wanted to know what the weather was about, and I didn't know, and I had to find somebody to explain it to me, and sometimes there was nobody to explain it to me and I was like, wow," she said.
Now more conversant in English, Matos is comfortable voting. But she understands the frustration her friends who only speak Spanish feel on election day. "They don't understand what they're saying or what they're trying to explain to you or what the papers are saying and stuff like that, and sometimes they don't have somebody that can translate for them," she said.
The Monroe County Board of Elections wants every eligible voter to feel comfortable at the ballot box. "Our goal is to make sure everyone who wants to participate can participate,' said Commissioner Peter Quinn.
Monroe is one of 10 counties statewide identified by the Office of the Attorney General with a significant Spanish speaking population. Just over five percent of the county is Puerto Rican. Rochester is 12 percent Puerto Rican and 15 percent hispanic. Quinn said the County will provide Spanish speaking interpreters at the 280 election districts that fall within the need for help. In addition, the County has election materials printed in Spanish and a Spanish tab on the Board of Elections website. "We do budget in for the inspector/interpreter program for Spanish speaking, we have that in place already, so there are costs involved but there are costs involved in anything you do," he said.
Quinn said County election officials will meet with representatives from the Office of the Attorney General in the next two weeks to evaluate the County's process.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Sharon Johnson
Weinstein JCC, preschool
The hardest part of being a preschool teacher, says Sharon Johnson, is that the end of the day comes too soon. After 25 years teaching at the Weinstein Jewish Community Center's preschool (where she got her start as an intern from the VCU School of Social Work), Johnson still finds it hard to accomplish everything in three hours -- and disappointing when she has to call a halt to the day's activities. "I get so much joy from being a preschool teacher," says Johnson, citing such favorite moments as seeing a child's eyes light up, or bringing smiles to her students' faces with something she said, did or taught them. "[But] there are times when the children are really engaged in exploring a lesson and we have to stop," she says. "Sometimes I am able to revisit [the lesson] the next day, but sometimes the interest or level of excitement has gone by then." Short day or not, Johnson gets an amazing amount accomplished in those three hours, say her colleagues. "Sharon has magical abilities," wrote a nominator. "Through her enthusiasm and generosity of spirit she touches so many lives of staff, children and parents." An inclusive program, the JCC preschool has many students with special needs, ranging from developmental delays, Down syndrome, autism, speech and language delays, and medically fragile conditions. But preschoolers of all abilities, ages, and backgrounds "flourish" in Johnson's care, wrote a colleague. "Sharon creates a warm, engaging classroom . . . [and] meets every challenge with a warmth and sense of purpose that reaches into the inner being of each child," said a nominator. "She teaches them to 'kiss their brain,' and rejoices in their accomplishments." While working with special needs children might be challenging, says Johnson, it's not nearly as hard as being the one who breaks the news to parents about a child's learning issues. But as a teacher of two-to-four-year-olds, Johnson is on the front lines, and more than once has had the difficult task of presenting her concerns when she recognizes a problem. "At times the parent may be hearing this information for the first time," says Johnson. "I have to be sensitive to the parents' needs while reassuring them that I will do everything that I can to support them and their child." But often, she adds, those newly-identified children turn out to be some of the most rewarding to teach. Not only can she watch them progress throughout the year, says Johnson, but their parents often return years later to thank her for making them aware of the delays and working with them on strategies – and to inform her of the child's successes since. Another group that frequently returns to the JCC to visit Johnson is made up of former students, who come as middle schoolers to volunteer in her class and as college students to work alongside her in the summer camp program. In many cases the college students are pursuing degrees in education, she says, and they remind Johnson of something positive she said or did as their teacher that helped lead to their decision to teach. For Johnson herself, the decision to teach did not come at one defining moment, but it was definitely influenced by an elementary school teacher she had named Mrs. Cason. "She made learning fun and showed a lot of genuine interest in each of her students," Johnson recalls. "She made me feel special by always taking the time to listen and encourage me in all aspects of my learning. "I did not know at that time that I would become a teacher one day," she adds, "but I did know that whatever I did, it would involve caring for children and families." Her colleagues will tell you that Johnson takes care of both, serving as a role model for children and as a mentor to parents as well as fellow teachers. "She is one of those rare teachers that can mesmerize children and their parents with her calm and gentle manner," said a nominator. "She deeply respects young children . . . [and] has left an indelible mark in thousands of children's lives." |

The MFA is a module-based program, comprised of five 12-week modules (equivalent to 8 semester hours each) over a period of fourteen months. Each successive module builds upon the previous modules to create a unified learning experience. Students meet on campus for a total of seven two-day class sessions, held on Fridays from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Meals, including dinner on Friday evening and breakfast and lunch on Saturday, are provided.
Between these on-campus sessions, course assignments and activities are facilitated through UC's online learning portal. This includes online virtual classes, which are held every other week. Virtual classes are scheduled outside normal working hours, usually a weekday evening from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

Between class sessions, students complete both individual and group assignments and participate in a variety of interactive online learning experiences (e.g., discussion forums, live chats, videos). All examinations and presentations, as well as the capstone experience, will be conducted during the on-campus sessions.
The first module introduces students to the world of forensic accounting and reviews foundational investigative and research concepts. Topics include fraud theory, criminal psychology, social research methodologies, the nature of forensic accounting assignments, and ethical considerations. In this module, students will learn to look "beyond the numbers," integrating and applying their knowledge of the various functional disciplines. Moreover, students will learn to think like investigators and appreciate the value and limitations of research. Finally, students will gain experience in presenting investigative/research results in a clear, concise, and professional manner.
The second module familiarizes students with the legal framework of forensic accounting. Specific legal concepts include:
The third module introduces various approaches and methods forensic accountants use to gather and analyze quantitative and qualitative evidence. In this module, students learn to understand and appreciate the adversarial nature of financial reporting, as well as the interrelatedness of financial statements. Building upon this foundation, students practice the application of various tools of financial statements analysis. Basic statistical concepts are reviewed, along with the economic and financial concepts underlying valuation theory. Finally, specialized tools, including forensic interviewing techniques and digital forensic analysis, are introduced.
The fourth module presents the methods and processes of the most common forensic accounting engagements, including business valuations, economic damage calculations, fraud investigations, and internal control evaluations. Students have the opportunity to practice analysis and report writing for each type of engagement, as preparation for the capstone project.
The fifth module is the culmination of the program, requiring integration and application of the concepts learned in all previous modules. Students are challenged to develop a case through each stage of the litigation process: establishing the initial engagement, conducting discovery, preparing a written report, and concluding with mock trial testimony.
Friday 1:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m.
