Professor Jeremy N. Bailenson of the Stanford University Department of Communication on 25 January 2010 gave a presentation, entitled Transformed Social Interaction in Virtual Reality, at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society.
Several aspects of the presentation may be of interest to legal informatics or legal communication researchers:
- Professor Bailenson discussed his research on the acquisition of false memories in virtual reality: Kathryn Y. Segovia & Jeremy N. Bailenson, Virtually True: Children's Acquisition of False Memories in Virtual Reality, 12 Media Psychology 371 (2009).
- Professor Bailenson discussed several studies suggesting techniques that make one more or less persuasive, or more or less confident while communicating, in virtual reality. That research may be of interest to those studying potential applications of virtual reality to legal communication and decisionmaking, such as in legislative or administrative lawmaking, judicial or administrative proceedings, online alternative dispute resolution, legal negotiation, communication with clients, policy debates, etc.;
- During the discussion, Professor Julie E. Cohen of Georgetown Law Center remarked that Professor Bailenson's research suggests that virtual reality vitiates perhaps the most important basis of evidentiary validity in U.S. evidence law: personal knowledge obtained via direct perception;
- Throughout the presentation and discussion, Professor Bailenson discussed a variety of innovative methods for conducting empirical research on human cognition and behavior in virtual reality; many of those methods seem applicable to a range of legal informatics and legal communication research.
Abstract: Previous work on human memory has shown that prompting participants with false events and self-relevant information via different types of media such as narratives, edited 2-dimensional images, and mental imagery creates false memories. This study tested a new form of media for studying false memory formation: Immersive Virtual Environment Technology (IVET). Using this tool, we examined how memory was affected by viewing dynamic simulations of avatars performing novel actions. In the study, 55 preschool and elementary children were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 memory prompt conditions (idle, mental imagery, IVET simulation of another child, or IVET simulation of self). Each child was questioned 3 different times: once before the memory prompt, once immediately after the memory prompt, and once approximately 5 days after the memory prompt. Results showed that preschool children were equally likely to develop false memories regardless of memory prompt condition. But, for elementary children, the mental imagery and IVET self conditions caused significantly more false memories than the idle condition. Implications regarding the use of digital media in courtroom settings, clinical therapy settings, entertainment, and other applications are discussed.

You Can find them all below!
1.) So Many Wonders
2.) Art of the Dress
3.) Winter Wrap Up
Those pictures originates from a ponychan thread where somepony decided to make colt versions of the mane 6.
The changed pitch of the background music for Art of the Dress is really really weirding me out.
I give it a week before someone makes a shipping fic based off this XD
Hahaha awesome. Love these.
I like Fluttershy's voice like this, it seems the most believable and fits...him the best. But that's just my opinion.
... Theres no picture that can suitiably describe my face at this point in time
If anypony wonders who drew those pics, her is the artists DA trotsworth.deviantart.com
HOLY SHITTTT.... How come i never thought of this
But then again I Had no Frigging Idea this is even POSSIBLE, HOW DID THEY DO IT?!
Mad props to the brony that decides to actually sing these... (that is, if they sing it well)
It's weird. It works, a tad too well, it just sounds wrong. Not bad, just wrong. Flutterguy is the best though.
Digital affectations. It's just never going to sound completely right after going through a sync.
I rather think that Fluttershy and Rarity's voices fit quite well...
The rest of the voices are growing one me....
I don't even know if Fluttershyguy's voice is a woman or a young boy or a 20 year old, but it's less ear breaking, and less improvised than the others, Can't wait to hear more
Flutterguy sounds so much like Disney's Aladdin is spooky. Although Male Pinkie still sounds female to me.
Flutterguy's is definitely the best, and Rarity's just the worst. Such a womanly voice being pitch shifted to sound male seriously freaks me out.
Imagine if they actually made an episode where they change the mane six into colts, or just change their voices to male ones to make us even more creeped out and amazed
They probably already read Cupcakes when they made Party Of One
Seriously, what the f*** is that?!
Flutterguy's actually works, still strange though.
Let me tell how they did this:
someone editted the song so you could only hear the vocal.but you could hear the background music a little bit. and he posted itt on youtube.
someone else someone editted the song so you could only hear the beckground music.but you could hear the voices a little bit.
They editted the vocal version with a voice changer (the voices were lowered/heavier) and put itt together with the background music.
Please, somepony write a shipping fic with the mane 6 colts, that'd be AWESOME (Yaoi > Yuri xD)
Ok, now I'm fine xD
The Fluttershy one sounds so real that it just makes the other ones look bad. Ah well, good effort.
I actually did that with Miku Hatsune songs on my 3DS. When I lowered the pitch, it sounded like Kaito.
It's kind of creepy and ... wrong xD
But they're well done, I have to admit that !
Good job.
I'm especially impressed with "So many wonders".
Wow, Fluttershy's was amazing. Not sure I like the other ones, Rr/TS sound incredibly similar...
According to the person who made them, Big Mac will be the next altered pony.
"So Many Wonders" sounds quite natural compared to the others - considering the time-honored tradition of casting women as VAs for young boy roles.
The other two have that tell-tale pitch-shifted sound.
Wow, this was really impressive. And here I was expecting to hear a bunch of bronies doing karaoke.
Flutterguy and Applejack's voices sounded the most natural by far, though RD and TS' voices were pretty spot on as well. Only Pinkie and Rarity wavered in believability, but that's understandable seeing as how they have the most feminine voices and inflections of the bunch (lots of rolled syllables and high squeaks).
Consarnit, now I've got the urge to draw the cast gender-swapped...
The pitch shiftiness still makes them sound really feminine. It would be cool if somepony did an entire redub.
Also Fluttershy is the best pony. It would be funny to hear "So Many Wonders" in her "Bridle Gossip" Flutterguy voice.
The Rari-guy's voice fits well enough. In my mind I'm thinking of him more like a Fashion-Designer from New York or something. very Metro-ish. Pinkie-Guy? *shudder* notsureifwant.jpg
The fluttershy one is the most superior, but W.W.U. isn't bad.
Dash and Applejack sound really good in Winter Wrap Up. You can bet Dash is just sooo bishie. Twilight's excellent, too.
Rarity's colt voice in Art of the Dress works pretty well. DEFINITELY very metro, which fits him. The other 6 aren't as successful.
Definitely agree with a lot of people that Pinkie Pie is just really difficult to sound like a guy. It's so squeaky, though at times it reminded me of Spike's voice.
Agreed on Rari-guy. I liked his sound much better in Winter Wrap Up than in Art of The Dress. It did fit the television stereotype of a metro fashion buff pretty well. Pinkie Guy sounds like a little kid, which is acceptable too.
Gettin a real "Steve Magnet" vibe from Rarity's voice in art of the dress, if ya know what I mean. She's just too feminine in that bit.
The Art of the dress one doesn't work very well, the other two are fairly successful.
When I saw this post I was hoping it was just some gentlecolts reprising these songs rather than just somepony fiddling with the pitch
Flutterguy in the first one sounded believable. Rarityguy sounded good too. The rest was meh. Not bad effort, but it just didn't sound right.
I'd say that Applejack's voice works best.
Also, weird. But in a good way. I think...
Rarity sounds way to much like a guy that calls you to tell you he kidnapped your son
this is so fucking creepy. What would ever drive someone to make the picture or the songs????
You can't make Pinkie Pie sound like a guy. It goes against the laws of nature.
I had an orgasm listening to Art of the Dress
I can't even begin to describe what I did at Winter Wrap Up
I absolutely love this.
Thank you, best birthday gift EVER.
Awesome but I lol'd at winter wrap up. Twilight's dress? for male twilight? And yeah most of them sound fairly homosexual :/
Fluttershy just kind of sounded like she was older, to me.
Ya know. I actually kindda like these. Except Rarity, She sounds like one of those flaming homosexual.
I liked winter-wrap up though. And the fiest vid makes Fluttershy sounds like a little kid.
It takes more than one octave to turn girly ponies into manly colts.
Consequently, the mane six sound quite fabulous.
Have you tried two octaves?
I think that So Many Wonders sounds the best, though it certainly sounds like a kid (which makes sense). Actually, that Flutterguy voice reminds me a little of "Go the Distance." Rarity's in 'Art of the Dress' sounds odd though; you can tell it was key-changed.
Well, I don't like pitch bended songs, but this... Fits so well ; A ;
Seeing as the only complaint is that it makes them sound like gay men, I'd say that there are no legitimate complaints with these songs!
...did we really need to modify Rainbow Dash's voice? I mean, it's pretty mistakable lol
Flutter-shota had the best voice in so many wonders, sounded less like a gay man and more like a boy, which makes sense.
Rarity sounded good in winter wrap up, but not so much in art of the dress. In my humble opinion. Really impressive though, well done!
Rainbow dash in Art of the Dress sounds like a 15 year old who is in the first few stages of puberty. Flutterguy works in so many wonders which is amusing on a few levels. Art of the dress is a miss.
So Many Wonders was perfect. Kinda scared me. X3
The rest were meh.
Oh god, Pinkie Guy is the gayest thing I've ever heard. Flutterguy sounds amazing, though.
Applejack sounds like Kermit. Oh god can't unhear.
I actually know a guy who sounds like guy-Rarity! And yes. He is VERY metro. very.
not gay though, surprisingly. Just goes to show you what stereotypes are worth (nothing)
Not too bad, but I was expecting male re-recording instead of just lowering the pitch. they mostly sound like gay males (not that there's anything wrong with that) and it kinda breaks it for me. Any bronies wanna do some recordings and make a true colt-version? I think it would be a fun project!
well, the first sound good and its credible.
the second sounds..meh... and GAY!!!!!
and the third: WTF the backstreet boys ??????
The first one is adorable and actually believable. The singer sounds like a mix between Dee Bradley Baker and Scott Weinger.
The other two just sound pitch modified and stupid.
Now this is a manly "So Many Wonders"
THIS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=599xiSGk2NM&feature=feedlik
i thought it was pretty good. might want to make them a bit lower though.
Im sorry, but winter wrap up sounded like it was being sung by the ga'ould from stargate.
Shol'va ponies! bow before your true godess
The gay hate seems pretty un-brony.
I'm imagining Flutterguy as an emo colt. After he gets his cutie mark, he goes through puberty and ends up with his epic Evil Enchantress voice.
Those were awesome, I really hope At the Gala gets coltified.
I guess it would be idiotic to try and point out how camp gay colt Rarity sounds considering.
But that's awesome, and Fluttershy's voice has the least decay lol.
I don't know the details of successful gender bending of songs, but one would think there's SOMETHING you could do to smooth out some of those voices; several of them have a rather unnatural flavour.
Still really good. Awesome.
I can detect audio editing in these. Some original singing, but it's a pitch changer.
not sure if the 2nd two were real, especially art of the dress. :p IDK
Those were amazing. it makes me appreciate being a tenor so much more.
I'm loving these~
i rill love pinkie's and Shy's vices like this
Rarity sounds weird tho.
I think the Voices still sound kind of Awkward, but it's pretty good. The Artwork Depiction are the Best, of course! :D
I don't see anything wrong with Rarity/Elusive being gay, but for sure, he'd be that pony in question as opposed to Rainbow Dash. ;P
it sounds like someone just took the decibel levels and dropped them by a few. Even the instrumental music is lower
When I first started playing Art of the Dress, I immediately thought colt Rarity sounded like Stewie Griffin from Family Guy. Then as the song went on, it sounded like a cross between Stewie and Steven Magnet. Seriously, something ain't right here. I can't even listen to the whole thing because I start laughing too hard.
from deviantart. check the vids, u can find links.
I was pretty disappointed to realize this were just digital edits. I was really hoping for some bronyoke.
What a lot of people don't consciously realize is that the difference between male and female speaking (and singing) isn't in the pitch. There are mannerisms that are predominate in one gender or another and that more than anything else is how we identify a speaker. So, yeah, less so colts and more so deep-voiced mares, and it doesn't matter what kind of editing you do, it's not gonna change that.
That being said So Many Wonders still came out nicely.
Rarity sounds like a flamboyant Black man with a British accent
Twilight's Colt voice is... handsome D8
every protagonist Pony's colt version of their voice REALLY keeps their personality even if they're guys :D
"every protagonist Pony's colt version of their voice REALLY keeps their personality even if they're guys"
Well of *course* they do, they just pitched the singers to be lower, it's not like somebody else sang it.
Colt Fluttershy has officially made me question my masculinity. I'm okay with this.
Superior Fluttershy
I really like Rarity colt's voice. I don't know why people are saying it's the worst. It's my favorite!
Art of the dress was rather disturbing for me :(
Other two was interesting. Wouldn't even consider swapping them with the originals but still, like a strange experiment, it was a fun experience :)
Male Twilight Sparkle (Winter Wrap up version) sounds disturbingly like Josh Groban.
Actually, I think Fluttershy's voice transfigured best, I can hear the moduation too much in everypony else's voice.
ie: That first one sounds like a real boy singing, not like a machine pretending.
I only like the Flutterguy one. Doesn't sound gay, but like a really shy guy.
i wanna live in a world where every colt gets a new dress designed for them :O
Why are these colts sound so damn attractive to me!
Guy Rarity sounds so goddamn gay, I can't help but think that he must be a she with a deep ass voice.

The Senegal international is undergoing a medical with Rafa Benitez's side after a release clause was triggered in his Newcastle contract once Chelsea offered £7million for him.
Ba was left out of the Magpies' squad for their 2-1 home defeat to Everton on Wednesday, with manager Alan Pardew admitting afterwards that he was on his way to Stamford Bridge.
A deal between the Premier League rivals appears close to being finalised, with Benitez keen to add to his attacking options to ease the burden on Fernando Torres.
Ba joined Newcastle on a free transfer from West Ham in June 2011 and after impressing last season he has already scored 13 goals this campaign.
"It's done. He will go to Chelsea with our blessing," Pardew told Sky Sports ahead of their defeat by Everton.
"He has done fantastic for us and it's not a bad thing, all the uncertainty is now done and we can move on.
"The ball was always in Demba's court. But this club is bigger than any player for sure."
Chelsea officials held initial discussions with Ba's representatives earlier this week but had been unable to reach an agreement.
Newcastle released a statement which read: "Newcastle United can confirm Chelsea Football Club has made an official offer for Demba Ba which has triggered the release clause in the player's contract.
"The club has given the player permission to speak to Chelsea FC and therefore he will not be included in the squad for tonight's game with Everton."

They're back: J. C. Penney adds sales
NEW YORK (AP) — J.C. Penney is bringing back sales.
The struggling department store chain this week will begin adding back some of the hundreds of sales it ditched last year in hopes of luring shoppers who were turned off when the discounts disappeared, CEO Ron Johnson told The Associated Press.
Penney also plans to add price tags or signs for more than half of its merchandise to show customers how much they're saving by shopping at the chain — a strategy used by a few other retailers. For store branded items such as Arizona, Penney will show comparison prices from competitors.

Filmmaker Tanaz Eshaghian explores the proliferation of gender reassignment surgery in a society where homosexuality is punishable by death in this documentary that ponders the extreme measures taken by gay Iranians who risk execution if the truth about their sexuality is uncovered. In Iran, to be homosexual is to live in fear. Yet despite the fact that homosexual men and women in Iran risk their lives simply by revealing their sexual preferences, the fact that prominent sex-change surgeon Dr. Bahram Mir-Jalali performs more gender reassignment surgeries in one year than the entire country of France does in one decade offers telling insight into a culture that accepts both genders though refuses to acknowledge any gray area in between. For an emerging generation of men and women who are forced by theocracy to deny their true selves, this drastic transformation provides the only hope for survival.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide Rated No Rating .

Good morning! Just a quick note to say thank you for your help and advice with Bob's passport renewal.
Our facilities team received it yesterday and it was handed to me today. You've never let me down in terms of giving good service J
Have a great weekend, Gevy
Thanks again, Rebecca
Passport received, thank you!!
You're my hero for this month!!
I would just like to say on behalf of everyone here at House of Play.
Thank you for a great service, having never even applied for a passport before, you have made it so easy for me to get the visas sorted at such short notice.
I would not have been able to do this without your guidance and helpfulness and I will certainly not only use you again when the situation arises but would recommend you to others too.
Again thanks to Tayfun for your patience and understanding, absolute star.
Kindest regards,
I recently utilised the services of your company in obtaining a Business Visa to Russia. I would like to thank you for the fast and efficient service and I received my passport on Saturday.

I just wanted to share this little gem of service provided by Minder and his team @ Scott's, they made us come out shining!
My client needed to send their CEO, the international CEO not just the CEO from their UK office, to Saudi this coming Monday…..in true fashion from our clients they missed all the deadlines I set for them (you still have to love them) leaving me with the predicament of trying to obtain a Kuwaiti business visa on Wednesday this week for travel lunchtime Monday… those of you who deal with this route know a visa on average is usually 4/5 days with no scope!
Scott's aka Minder worked his magic – he took all the documentation late Wednesday afternoon and advised Friday afternoon he will obtain this visa…he assured me he could do this on a special occasion and due to the urgent nature…Not only did he achieve this but the visa came out yesterday… My client is over the moon with the service Scott's/we have provided and what better way than to get this for the Numero Uno of the company.
Other visa agencies we approached advised it would take 4/5 days!
Kind regards.
Just to let you know passports arrived safe and sound today. Many thanks for your efficient and knowledgeable help in sorting this out for me, especially as it saved me having to pay the increased fee!
Kind regards,
Thank you very much. Great to work with you.
It's been sometime since I travelled to Russia but there is a chance that I will do so a bit more in the next year or so. Sometimes my flights are arranged and paid for by the organization in the RF that invites me. Whenever I have to make the booking myself I will do so through you. You have provided an excellent service over ??? years ; maybe nearly 20??
All the best.
Regards and best wishes. David
Cheers. Rita xx

Just a quick note to thank you for making my very first Russian visa application such a quick and painless procedure. I received my passport this morning (the courier did deliver yesterday evening) and everything is in order. Thanks again for all your help.
Very best regards,
I have checked next year's event calendar and there are definitely some competitions planned for swimming teams to travel to Russia & China so as soon as I have further details I will be in touch with these.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Visa just received, all details correct. Thank you so much for a very quick and efficient service! I must admit I wasn't looking forward to the application process having gone through it all this time last year…!
Thank you also for notifying me of the "Tourist with Business Intent" option - is this a new thing? It fits the bill perfectly.
I will certainly be using Scotts again!
The visa expeditor I used for the Indian visa is Scott's Visas.
I have found them to be very quick and reliable and good communications throughout the process. I would recommend using them again.
I just wanted to let you know passports arrived today with everything in order.
Thank you so much for all your help - I have added a comment on K**** E*****'S 's facebook page recommending you.
Kath and Mark
China visa: You guys rock... thank you very much. This has been perfect.
What other visa services do you offer?
Just a quick email to say thank you very much for the fantastic service we received from you and Scotts. It is greatly appreciated as we have had many problems in the past with Visa applications through other companies.
As explained on the phone, we have some further visa's that will need replacing in the not too distant future, so we will definitely be in touch again!
Kind regards,
Just to say everything went extremely smoothly and the trip was fascinating and productive.
Thanks so much for your help with the visa. I'm particularly happy that it's valid for a year, since it looks as though I'll be back in October and December, for starters...
Have a good summer!
All good wishes,
I know that this is no compensation for your efforts, but I do want you to know that your work is appreciated and that you will be MY GUY for immigration in UK.
I will refer all of my other tour manager friends your way as well.
Thank you for your assistance.
I'll wait to hear from you tomorrow before doing anything else. I appreciate the follow-up call.
Much more personal service than the previous company I've used.
Thank you,
The passport and invoice arrived this morning and I am writing this to express my thanks for the efficient service that you provided.
All my regards,
Don't want to go over the top, but thanks again for your advice and support with the visas collected today. In he middle of a bunch of other stress, you helped me with this aspect enormously.
It would please me to inform your employers of the marvellous job you have done for me and my husband. Robert spends a great deal of his time 'teaching gratis' in some of the poorer and less easy to access parts of what is now 'Europe' and beyond.
THANK YOU , THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for the service you provided for us.
I shall no doubt be calling upon your assistance in the future.
Very Kind Regards,
I'm on the way to the airport with the visa!!!

As a travel destination Mykonos is certainly no well-kept secret, its streets and beaches often crowded with throngs of tourists. Novelty isn't everything, though, and the considerable natural charms of the Greek islands are still there to be experienced, if you know where to look.
And you don't have to go far to get away from it all. High on a hillside above the city center you'll find the Ostraco Suites, a stunning complex of 21 whitewashed suites with an astonishing view of the Aegean and the sort of private and insular atmosphere that only a small family-owned hotel can provide. It's anything but old-fashioned, though — Ostraco has kept pace with the times, switching over to solar heating and adding massage, personal training and yoga instruction on request.
Each suite is individually decorated, stylish, contemporary rather than modern. Here white-on-white isn't a design conceit but a nod to tradition, and hand-crafted beds and antique flourishes sit comfortably alongside sleek modern pieces and smart tiled bathrooms. Kitchenettes are standard, and the "executive" suites, despite the name, seem built for relaxation, complete with outdoor Jacuzzis.
The fact that there are not one but two wedding chapels on-site should give you some idea of what kind of place Ostraco is. Mykonos's town and beaches are easily accessible, but a visit is by no means obligatory — for many, the hotel's poolside bar and barbecue and Tapas restaurant are the perfect alternative to the bars and clubs in town.
Please note: Ostraco Suites is open seasonally from May through October.
How to get there:
Mykonos can be easily reached by plane or ferry. Flight time from Athens is approximately 45 minutes.
Ferries from Athens' Pireaus port to Mykonos take approximately 7.5 hours. Ferries from Santorini (Thira) to Mykonos are approximately 2 hours.
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance with transfers to the hotel.

What I liked:
Just far enough away from the spinning action of Mykonos town, Ostraco Suites makes the perfect spot for those who want to savor the fun of Mykonos while also having a private spot to get away from it all. Welcoming & beautiful. We won't hesitate to go again soon.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

What I liked:
From check-in to check-out, we experienced top level service from the amazing staff at Ostraco. Apostolos in particular went out of his way to ensure that we had a wonderful stay at the hotel and in Mykonos.
What the hotel could do better:
Although the hotel reports high speed internet, we found the wifi decidedly lacking and prone to outages or poor reception. It wasn't a deal breaker but it should be improved.

2. | que | ||
Spanish word pronounced "k" meaning "what." This works very well when a rich american that speaks no spanish hires a mexican that speaks no english and as the american barks out orders the mexican replies with "que?" which the american things means "ok." Rich white woman: Pick up Bart from school and then take the dry cleaning down to the place then you can take my mink coat to the cold storage.

Contrary to popular belief, "que" does not mean "what" in Spanish. It actually means "that". The word for "what" is actually qué (with a forward-accented e). 1. Que es yo - that is me
2. ¿Que és? - What is it? |

- Colours are gorgeous
- Merino is the finest
- Stitch definition perfect
- Very thick and warm
- Yarn is lofty
- Expensive but worth it
- Far too many joins
- Watch for splitting
Best Uses
- Big - huge - cables

- Outer wear
Up-side: I'm knitting a huge tunic with gigantic cables and it is going to be beautiful.
Down-side: I'm on my 5th skein and there are far too many joins. While I realize there have to be some (joins), I think many (and I do mean many) in a 87 yard skein is overkill - especially at this price point. I hope the next 7 skeins have far fewer! If they do I will not be knitting with this yarn again.

Cancer Types / Skin Cancers / Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma/Mycosis Fungoides
Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a group of lymphomas that affect the skin as their primary site and comprise 3.4% of all NHLs.
What is the lymph system, and what are lymph nodes? The lymph system is essentially the "housekeeping system" of the body. It is a network of vessels (tubes), which connect the lymph nodes. These nodes can vary in size, but are normally up to about 2 centimeters in width. They contain cells that clear bacteria and other foreign debris from the body. Lymph is a watery liquid that flows between cells in the body, picking up foreign debris and taking it into the lymph node for filtering. From the lymph node, the debris may pass through several more nodes in the system before being dumped into the bloodstream to ultimately be cleared by the liver. The lymph system flows throughout the body, and also includes the spleen and thymus gland. What is a lymphocyte? Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. These cells (called B cells and T cells) are important in fighting infection and ... read more on Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma (CTCL): The Basics

Protection from the Enemy
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 15 November 2012 11:32
- Written by Eric Haynes
When I think of my deployment to Iraq there is one crucial moment that sticks out to me that not only made me see life differently but it made me appreciate life in general. This moment was a night not much different than any other night at first. I was off duty in my bed with my weapon lying next to me as I always had done trying to sleep while hearing the sounds of small weapons activity in the distance.
The difference this night was that it got closer and closer. Then from out of nowhere a huge boom and the metal box structure that I called home shook as if an earthquake was happening. I had heard mortars hit on our FOB before but this one seemed right out back of my hooch. I proceeded to get up as other people in my area did and took my weapon and flash light out back to find about 50 feet from where I was sleeping was a mortar hole about two meters in diameter and a meter deep.
I went back into my room and proceeded to write a letter to my wife and daughter telling them things that I might never be able to tell them in person because I did not know if I was going to make it home alive and put it in my pocket. I told them if they were reading this that I was dead. I turned on a Sandy Patti tape with the song "It is well with my soul" and played it over and over again all that night as the fighting continued and showed no sign of letting up.
This song help comfort me in knowing that no matter what we go through in life that God is nearer than our closest fear or enemy. I thought of David when he was running for his life from Absalom his son. Psalms 3:1-8 He said that God is a shield for him as he cried out and that he would not even be afraid of 10 thousand soldiers coming after him because the Lord could save him.
I knew if David was being pursued to have his life taken and he could trust God to keep him safe then I needed to and could trust the God who protects his children.
Do you have troubles in your life that are bombarding you to the point you don't think you can hold on. Are you thinking about maybe taking your life and feel that is the only thing for PTSD because you don't fit in. Believe me that is not the answer because I have a God that cares for the uncaring. Trust God today to take whatever burden is weighing you down. He wants us to give them to him. He stretched his arms out as wide as he could for you so you could join him in Heaven one day. If this is you please allow him to help you through your trouble whatever it is.
Lt. Col. Larkin Spivey

Whenever I think of deployments I think of what was to me the most amazing feeling in the world. It is a feeling that unless you have deployed to a foreign country for a year and returned safely none could ever explain. As you are on the airplane for that long trip home and you watch the map on the screen showing where you are and where the next stop is and then that final moment when the pilot comes on and says we are approaching our landing to the United States please fasten your seat belts. Everyone changes into a different mode. Then it finally happens the wheels of the plane finally hit and you hear the screeching of the tires on American soil, suddenly an eruption of cheers fills the plane as if at the rose bowl stadium with 150 thousand people and the home team scores the winning touchdown you have finally arrived home safely. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and tears started rolling down my checks. In fact even the toughest of men on the plan soften light butter in a microwave at that point.
is an amazing thing as we got off the plane in NJ to have the general greet each one of us along with a local VFW crew, it reminded me of what God did for us. In the book of Luke it talks about a son who took his fathers inheritance early and went off and squandered it. All the people he thought were his friends because of his money had left him, and he was feeding pigs to earn money he decided he would be better off being a servant for his father, at least he would have food and clothing. The only thing was he did not know if his father would accept him back. Well he not only accepted him back but he gave him the best of everything when he arrived home. He did not care what he had done just the fact that he came back home to his family.
felt very strongly when I was preparing this that someone really needed this message. If you have never received Christ as your Savior and been received into God's family yet or maybe you think that you have gone so far and done something so bad that God would not receive you back. Let me tell you friend God wants you back in the fold and you can stop running from him. He is waiting for you so why not run back into his arms today.
