10 Tools to Teach Social Skills for Autism
Social skills training is so important for people on the spectrum. Below is a list of 10 therapist and parent favorite resources you can use with the children & teens you support.
Fitting In & Having Fun Video Modeling Series:
This video modeling series features real life social situations reenacted by kids and teens. This video recognizes that in order to be socially successful, one must learn to notice and "read" the social cues and messages that people use to communicate. This series visually shows viewers how to decode and interpret information from others. It also helps viewers become aware of their own body language and the messages they are sending. This series is perfect for those who are ready to learn about the intricacies of social interactions. Volume 1 is for grades 1-6, Confident & In Control, grades 1-6, Moving on to Middle School, and High school Life Unspoken Expectations.
This is our most popular social skills tools and includes six games that will help you teach key social skills in the following six areas:
- How Others Feel- Learn empathy by understanding the perspective of another.
- Acting Out- Dealing with and Showing Emotions
- Manners- Important manners for social success.
- Mountain of Emotions- Simple Strategies for emotion management.
- What Should You Do? How to make good choices.
- What Makes A Good Friend?- Simple tips for being a good friend.
Playtime with Zeebu:
Another wonderful gift for a child with autism is the Playtime with Zeebu set. This set comes with a video and two puppets so that therapists or parents and children can roll play with the puppets different social scenarios. Young children with beginning social skills will learn how to share, think about others' feelings, simple ways to calm down, and so much more! There are also fun Zeebu coloring books available that help to teach calming strategies and social skills.
The Blunders Game:
The Blunders Game teaches essential manners and social skills for grade school children, and works well with higher functioning children on the autism spectrum. The nice thing about this game is that the "blunder kids" are the ones who make mistakes. It's a safe way to learn social skills and talk about social blunders without feeling embarrassed or ashamed. Best of all this game is fun and would make a great gift for the whole family.
Reverse Charades:
Reverse Charades is fun to play with children and teens on the autism spectrum and is helpful for teaching nonverbal communication. The nice thing about reverse charades is a team works together to figure out how to communicate without using words and the person who is "it" has to try and figure out what the team is communicating. This is a great game for social skills groups or some family fun.
The Buddy Talk & Teen Talk:
The Buddy Talk card set is full of fun topics to help kids start talking. Sturdy laminated cards are held together by a spiral ring. This 50 card deck is loaded with questions and topics to help kids talk with their friends.
Making & Keeping Friends Game:
The Making and Keeping Friends card game is simple and fun to play during social skills groups, at home around the kitchen table, or when you have a few extra minutes during the day. Each card within the deck features a thought-provoking question related to common social situations. Use these cards to help your students explore a variety of topics.
Use these cards to help start conversations that will help your students open up about social challenges they are facing. They can also help them explore personal values and social boundaries. They are great for exploring and practicing proper etiquette and social expectations that students need for successful friendship skills.
Hidden Rules in the Classroom:
We have a lot of unwritten expectations within our classroom and Hidden Rules card game will help your students with autism or Asperger's syndrome to discover what these are. You can use this interactive card game to teach social rules and expectations that your students will encounter in the classroom. This is a fun fast paced game that your students will love to play over and over again – making sure they get lots of practice!
Bullies Victims and Bystanders:
Use this game to educate students on the consequences of bullying for everyone involved. Teach your students positive behavioral strategies to overcome bullying. While playing this game your students will learn proactive ways to deal with bullies, the victims of bullying, and what bystanders can do when they witness bullying. To play students move along the board, selecting bullies, victims or bystanders cards. Game cards can be used outside of the game to provide discussion starting points to discuss positive and negative behavior as it relates to bullying.

I wear a Hyperflex 6/5/4 winter suit and love it. I do not find it restricts me in any way and it keeps me nice in warm for hours in water as cold as 37 degree and air in the mid to high 20s.

Steep and Cheap.com, a sister site of Whiskey Militia, was unloading Amp 5/4's and 6/4's all summer long. The 5/4's were priced at $99 plus shipping. I decided that for $99, what the heck, my Xcel Inifiniti 5/4 was starting to show some age.
\nAnyway, when I get it, it looks fine, but the first thing I noticed was the smell. Like neoprene - but not quite. There was definitely an extra chemical odor to it. I look closer - made in China. Most wetsuit brands are from Thailand. I don't know if Thailand has better labor policies than China, or better environmental policies, but somehow the chemical smell and China tag seemed to go together.
\nThen I tried to try it on. I ordered a M, as that's the size I've worn for over a decade. And at 5'9", 150 pounds, I was theoretically on the small end of a Hyperflex medium. I own nothing but chest zips, Rip Curls and Xcels, and immediately could tell that the neoprene on the opening of the suit wasn't all that stretchy. And as I put my legs in - with a Wawa bag over my feet - it was so tight that the plastic bag got caught and ripped. I finally wriggled the thing up to my torso, and couldn't get my arms in. As in, I couldn't stretch the suit enough to even slide a single arm into the sleeve. I've owned chest zips suits since 1998, and even in the early days I'd never experienced anything like it.
\nSo...I know a lot of guys have had great success with Hyperflex and like them a lot (that's why I tried one). And I'm not doubting the guys who've posted here. But there must have been a reason that hundreds of Amp's from last season made it onto the liquidator web sites. Either the sizing was off, the neoprene wasn't right, or something. Because even at $99, it was no bargain. I sent it back.
\nIf your friend is getting this suit off the Clean Snipe site, I would say beware (it's part of Steep and Cheap). Sometimes you are getting what you pay for. For a winter suit, get it right. Got to a shop and get one that fits properly.

The entire AMP line was redesigned and is now called the AMP-3.
The new AMP-3 SURF Series suits have stepped up in every way: material, construction and warmth. The inside is 100% lined with AQ3 (grey stuff) and is really comfy and warm.
Hope this helps!
This video is for the AMP-3 WIND (our kitesurfing model) but is identical to the AMP-3 SURF except for the ADS ankle drain system and velcro strap.

Last season (2010/2011) I asked for 5/4 suit input, got a lot of response, ended up with Hyperflex 5/4/3. My short review ( as some of you had asked for): I'm 5'10" Now 165-170 (weighed 177 when I bought it). I needed a large, yes something was up with their sizing because I have a 3/2 Medium from previous year that fits perfect, even my shop guy noticed the size issue when I tried to get into a medium last year, wasn't happening.
\nThe suit is very warm, no flushing, very flexible. I had two issues, one the draw cords are very light and too flexible, two my left leg ripped at the opening (possibly from me being too rough, maybe a defect) sent it back for warranty one week ago...... today a received a Brand New 2011/2012 5/4/3 replacement!!!!!!! Totally expecting a repair and would have been happy with that. I think thats great customer service.
\nYes there may be some notable differences with high end suits but it your watching $$$ and need a good 5/4 now Hyperflex works and works well.
\nDefinitely buy through a shop unless you're certain with your size. The second very good reason to buy through a shop is if you do have a problem you're more likely to have better results getting the issue resolved.

I highly recommend a FLOW or AMP series suit. Can't go wrong. Just make sure it fits you appropriately. Check out the vendor's return policy before you are committed.
\nI would not necessarily recommend booties or gloves made by HF though. Mine leak excessively. Xcel makes the best if you ask me.

I have a 2010 Hyperflex Amp 5/4/3. I'm 5' 7" 165ish and my MS fits me perfect... nice and snug. It's super stretchy and very warm. I've worn it in 38 degree water with 7mm boots (o'neal) and 5mm drylock lobsta claws and been toasty. I've worn it maybe 14-20 days without issues.

I had a bad experience with Hyperflex boots (poorly made) and gloves (two pairs, just really bad fit, tried M and L). Not to say I wouldn't wear one of their suits, but haven't had the chance to try one on, and I've got Xcel dialed in and fitting perfect.

I have a 2009 5/4/3 with attached hood. At 6'3", 185lb and long arms I had a difficult time finding a suit that was long enough and tight enough in the body. The Amp is great, warm and has held up. My shop told me that the Hyperflex is a local (NJ) based company so any problems with the workmanship will be quick. I did send it back for some misgluing in the neck. It was repaired quick and free. That said I bought a long sleeve loose fit rash guard (XL) and I felt like a 10 year old wearing my Dad's clothes. The wetsuit wearhouse doesn't take exchanges but they cut me a deal on a 1.5mm rash guard. Size is the same but the sleeves are 2"-3" too short.
Moral of the story - Great product but try before you buy!

I've been using an AMP 6/5/4 for the past three seasons. Warm, flexible, an dhas been a solid suit. Seams aren't leaking, but they will soon. However, I'm going into winter 4, and the suit doesn't owe me anything at this point. I will replace it with another, but I'll probably get the flow, because it's basically the old AMP, and that works for me.
I bought this after wearing a Rip Curl 5/4/3 for a few winters. The Hyperflex was warmer (expected as it's thicker) and the sizing was pretty much the same. The fit and finish was better on the Rip Curl, but not worth the extra price tag at the time.
The Hyperflex boots I had were bad. Not warm, and not sized well. I used a few times and now only carry them as a backup pair.
All that said, I was told by a shop owner that carries Hyperflex, there was a period where they pushed out some bad suits. Apparantly they changed prodiuction or something, and for a short peirod of time there were suits that had issues....he cited they ripped easy! Hyperflex made good on them though, any issues they were replaced not repaired. I suspect some of these places that pump stuff out for "too good to be true" prices, may be pumping those bad suits out. Of course this is really hearsay, because it's just something a shop owner told me, so i can verify if it's accurate, but I believe it.
My advise, buy your suits from a shop, and as much as it sucks to do, try one on to get sizing correct. You'll pay a little more, but shops are much less likely to carry leftover, or bad rubber....and if they sell you a bad one, you can go through them and have the situation remedied, as their rep is on the line so they'll want to make good on it. Plus, it'
s always good to support a local shop.

I had a 5/4 that lasted 7 years I finnally threw it away cause the the legs were starting to dry rot but after 7 years who can ***** . I have a 3/2 amp and a 5/4/3 amp I never had a problem with either of them . Warm toasty and for the price you can beat it. As for there boots and gloves I havent tried a pair out of there current line up but there older stuff wasnt all that great . I use xcel drylocks when it comes to hands and feet.
You can send it right to there shop just provide a copy of the recipt or a letter explaining what happend to the suit if you can find your recipt . They can tell if the suits still in warranty or not . Since they are based out of millville , nj if you close you can just drive it to there to save on shipping. I had a 1 week turn around on a repair on a knee patch that was starting to come unthreaded cause I pulled a frayed string . But they restiched it for free . I am very satisfied with all my hyperflex stuff

Hyperflex's customer service down right sucks!!!!! Cant say for returning suits but any company that does not list a phone number on their website, I stay away from. This normally points to a company that receives a LOT of complaints and dont want to deal with them. I tried emailing them, which is the only contact info on their website and nothing. Emailed them again and NOTHING.
I can get Pro deal on their wetsuits and thats 40% off retail and I decided to buy an Xcel instead. Wasnt prepared to take a chance and having to deal with warranty issues with a company you cant get a hold of!

I have 2 Hyperflexes, a 3/2 full and a 2mm short sleeve full. Both are excellent, stretchy and flexible. For winter, I've heard good things about their front zip hooded 5/4. Personally, I don't want to take chances for water temps under 52 degrees, so I went with the Xcel Infiniti Drylock for cold water. But you really can't go wrong with the Hyperflex models.

Read an Excerpt
St. Petersburg, Russia
Countess Nadia Karkoff's house just off the Nevsky Prospect was not the largest mansion in the neighborhood, but it was by far the most luxurious.
In the finest tradition, the facade was designed along sleek, classical lines with a great number of windows and a wide, columned terrace. From the roof, Greek statues overlooked the upper balustrade with cold expressions of superiority. Or perhaps they were revealing their disapproval of the large gardens that surrounded the house. There was nothing classical about the brilliant profusion of flowers and ornamental shrubs and marble fountains that the Russian aristocracy adored.
The interior was equally elegant, with large rooms and soaring ceilings that were decorated in rich golds and crimsons and sapphires. Lush colors that created a sense of warmth during the long, dreary months of winter.
The furnishings were a mixture of satinwood and cherry, the style more French than Russian as suited the Countess's current fancy and contrasted nicely with the dark, brooding paintings by Flemish masters. Only the jewel-encrusted ornaments and jade figurines scattered through the rooms were entirely native.
It was the view, however, that was the crowning glory of the house.
From the upper windows it was possible to admire the churches and lavish palaces, with their glittering spires and golden domes, that adorned St. Petersburg. The stunning panorama allowed one to appreciate the beauty of the city without sensing the brittle tensions that ran rampant through the busy streets.
Having lived her entire two and twenty years in the house, Miss Leonida Karkoff offered only a brief admiring glance out the window of her bedchamber, more pleased with the late-spring sunlight than the familiar landscape.
Moving to seat herself before the mirrored dresser, she allowed her maid, Sophy, to smooth her long, golden tresses into a complicated knot atop her head, leaving a few curls to brush her temple. The severe style complemented the perfect oval of her alabaster skin, emphasizing her delicate bone structure and the starting blue of her heavily lashed eyes.
She would never possess her mother's dark, smoldering beauty, but she had always been considered quite pretty, and perhaps more importantly, her golden hair and clear blue eyes so closely resembled her father that there could be no mistaking her parentage.
Rather an odd circumstance considering that for all practical purposes she was a bastard.
Oh, Count Karkoff willingly claimed her as his child. And he was indeed married to her mother when she was born, which made Leonida entirely legitimate in the eyes of society. But there were few in all of Russia, and perhaps beyond, who did not know that her mother had been involved in a torrid affair with Alexander Pavlovich, the Emperor, when she had been hurriedly wed to the Count. Or that the Count had suddenly come into enough rubles to restore his crumbling estate outside of Moscow, an estate he rarely left, while the Countess was gifted with this lovely house and a large enough allowance to keep her in elegant style.
It was one of those secrets that was known by all, but spoken by no one, and while Alexander Pavlovich did occasionally send an invitation to Leonida to visit him when he was in St. Petersburg, he was more a vague, benevolent figure that drifted in and out of her life than a parental figure.
Not that she desired any additional parental figures, she ruefully acknowledged as her mother swept into the room, her lush form swathed in cherry gauze over a slip of silver satin with matching silver ribbons in her dark, glossy curls.
Her beauty was as dramatic as her entrance, although it was rather ruined by her grimace as her dark eyes glanced about the blue and ivory damask that Leonida had insisted be used for her private chambers.
Nadia Karkoff would never comprehend Leonida's preference for simplicity.
"Mother." Leonida turned on her seat to regard the Countess in wary surprise. There was never a doubt that the two loved one another deeply, but Nadia possessed a ruthless will and a habit of squashing anything that might stand in her path. Including Leonida. "Whatever are you doing here?"
"Sophy, I will speak with my daughter alone," Nadia announced.
The plump maid, who was the daughter of Leonida's English nurse, bobbed a curtsy, sending Leonida a covert wink. She was all too accustomed to Nadia's love of melodrama to take offense.
"Of course."
Waiting until the maid had left the room and closed the door behind her, Leonida rose from her chair and squared her shoulders.
It was always better to face the Countess on her feet.
Not that she was any less likely to be bowled over.
"Has something occurred?" she demanded bluntly.
Now that she had her daughter alone, Nadia appeared oddly reluctant to come to the point. Instead she drifted toward the wide bed canopied with ivory silk.
"Can I not simply desire a private conversation with my daughter?"
"You rarely do," Leonida murmured. "And never at this hour of the morning."
Nadia chuckled. "Tell me, ma petite, am I being chided for my indolent habits or for being a less than devoted mother?"
"Neither. I am merely seeking an explanation for this unexpected visit."
"Mon Dieu." Nadia plucked the delicate fawn-colored muslin gown from the bed, studying the double row of garnets stitched along the demure neckline. "I wish you would allow my modiste to make your gowns. One could easily be forgiven for mistaking you for a member of the tedious bourgeois rather than a young and beautiful member of Russian nobility. You must think of your position, Leonida."
It was a familiar argument, and hardly one to lure her mother from her bed at such an early hour.
"As if I am ever allowed to forget," Leonida muttered.
Nadia turned her dark gaze in Leonida's direction. "What did you say?"
"I prefer my dressmaker, Mother," Leonida said, her voice firm. On this subject she would not budge. "She comprehends that my tastes are more modest than other females'."
"Modest." Nadia heaved an impatient sigh, her gaze flicking over Leonida's slender form, which would never possess the seductive softness that most men preferred. "How many occasions must I remind you that a woman in society has no power unless she is wise enough to use what few weapons God has given her?"
"My gown is a weapon?"
"When designed to tantalize a man's hunger."
"I prefer warmth to tantalizing," Leonida retorted with unapologetic honesty. Despite the spring weather that had grudgingly arrived, there was a blazing fire in the white, gold-veined fireplace. She was always cold.
Nadia tossed the dress aside with a shake of her head. "Foolish child. I have done everything possible to ensure your future. You could have your pick of the most influential gentlemen in the empire. You could become a princess if only you would follow my lead."
"I have told you I have no desire to become a princess. That is your ambition, not mine."
Without warning, Nadia crossed to stand directly before Leonida, her expression hard.
"That is because you have never known what it is to be without wealth or an established position among society, Leonida. You may sneer at my ambition, but I assure you that your precious pride will swiftly be forgotten if you are impetuous enough to believe you can survive on love. There is nothing charming in being cold during the winter or darning your gowns to hide frayed hems." Her eyes darkened with remembered pain. "Or being excluded from society."
"Forgive me, Mother," she said softly. "It is not that I do not appreciate the sacrifices you have made for me, but "
"Do you?"
Leonida blinked in confusion at the abrupt interruption. "I beg your pardon?"
"Do you appreciate all I have done?"
"Of course."
Nadia reached to take her hands in a tight grip. "Then you will agree to do what I must ask of you."
Leonida hastily tugged her hands free. "I love you, Mother, but my appreciation is not without boundaries. I have told you that I will not accept Prince Orvoleski's proposal. Not only is he old enough to be my father, but he reeks of onions."
"This has nothing to do with the Prince."
Leonida's wariness deepened to outright anxiety. There was something in her mother's expression that warned her that this was more than just another of the theatrical scenes Nadia adored.
"Something has happened."
Nadia twisted her hands together, jeweled rings glinting in the morning light.
"Tell me."
Instead of answering, Nadia drifted toward the window, the scent of expensive perfume drifting behind her.
"You know a small part of my childhood."
Confused, Leonida turned to study her mother's stiff back. Countess Karkoff never discussed her humble beginnings.
"You have told me that you were raised in Yaroslavl' before coming to St. Petersburg," she answered, her words tentative.
"My father possessed distant ties to the Romanovs, but after he argued with Emperor Paul he was too filled with stubborn pride to apologize and he was forever banished from court." Nadia's scornful laugh echoed through the room. "Stupid man. We lived in a frozen monstrosity of a house, miles from the nearest village, with only a handful of peasants to keep it from utter ruin. I was buried in the midst of savages with only my nurse to bear me company."
Leonida's heart softened with sympathy. This vivacious, extroverted, highly fashionable woman stuck alone in a gloomy old house? It must have seemed like hell to her.
"I cannot imagine you in such a setting," she breathed.
Nadia shuddered, one hand lifting to stroke the diamond necklace around her neck, as if to reassure herself that her grim memories had not stolen it away.
"It was a misery, but it did teach me that I would do anything to escape," she rasped harshly. "When my aunt decided it was her duty to invite me to her home, I ignored my father's threat to disown me. What did he have to offer me beyond years of lonely isolation? Instead I sold my few pieces of jewelry and made my way to St. Petersburg alone."
Leonida chuckled in admiration. Of course she had.
Nothing would be allowed to stand between Nadia and her dreams.
"You are truly amazing, Mother," she said. "There are few women who would have possessed such courage."
Nadia slowly turned, a rueful smile touching her lips. "It was more desperation than courage and, had I known I was expected to be more a servant than a guest beneath my aunt's roof, I am not entirely certain I would have been so eager to endure the grueling journey."
"I am certain. You have never allowed anything to stand in the path of what you desire."
Her mother shrugged. "True, but not even my considerable determination would have given me the opportunity to enter society without the assistance of Mira Toryski."
It took a moment for Leonida to place the name. "The Duchess of Huntley?"
"Her family were neighbors of my aunt," Nadia explained. "She was already a favorite among society, of course. How could she not be? She was beautiful, wealthy and yet astonishingly kind. I shall never understand why she took pity on me and convinced my aunt to allow me to attend a few of the smaller gatherings, but I shall forever be grateful."
The Countess's deep affection for her girlhood friend could not be mistaken. Strange, considering Nadia preferred to surround herself with handsome young officers rather than the ladies of society.
"That is when you met Alexander Pavlovich?"
"Yes." The dark eyes softened as they always did at the mention of the Emperor. "He was so handsome and charming. I had only to glance at him to know he was a man destined for greatness."
Leonida resisted the urge to prod for more details of her mother's relationship with Alexander Pavlovich. There were some questions better not asked.
"This is all very fascinating, Mother, but I do not entirely comprehend what is troubling you."
Nadia's hands shook as she smoothed them over the gauze skirt. "I need you to understand my deep affection for Mira."
"Not long after I came to St. Petersburg Mira was introduced to the Duke of Huntley. She, along with most of the women in society, lost her heart to the handsome Englishman and returned with him to London to be wed." Nadia grimaced. "I was devastated by the loss of my dearest friend. She was well, let us just say that my only comfort was exchanging letters so we could continue to be involved in one another's lives."
"Perfectly understandable," Leonida said gently.
"Perhaps, but I was still foolishly young and when Alexander Pavlovich began to make his interest in me known, I was eager to share every detail with Mira."
If anything, Leonida was only more confused. "From all I have heard, your affair with Czar Alexander was not precisely a closely guarded secret."
"No." Nadia shrugged, as always unrepentant at her intimate connection to the Emperor. "Our relationship was a source of endless gossip, but our private conversations were never intended to be shared. Not even with a dear friend whose loyalty to the Romanovs could never be questioned."
Leonida stiffened. "You revealed Alexander Pavlovich's private conversations to the Duchess of Huntley?"
Nadia's expression became defensive. "I knew she could be trusted and it was not as if I could share my most intimate thoughts with anyone else. There was not a woman in society who was not consumed with jealousy by my relationship with Czar Alexander."
"As they still are." Leonida hastily soothed the older woman. She would get nothing out of Nadia if she were pouting. And Leonida had a terrible foreboding she needed to know precisely what was happening. "But you are rarely so indiscreet."
Nadia was far from appeased. "How could I possibly suspect that anyone beyond the Duchess would ever see them?"
Leonida's heart stuttered. "Someone else has seen them?"
"I do not need you to point out that I was a reckless idiot. I am painfully aware of my mistakes."
"Very well." Leonida sucked in a calming breath. "I presume that these letters hold information that might prove uncomfortable for the Czar?"
"It is much worse than that. In the hands of his enemies they might very well destroy him."
"Destroy him?" Leonida blinked in shock. "Surely you must be exaggerating?"
"I only wish I were."
With a graceful motion, Nadia sat on the brocade window seat, the morning sunlight revealing the shadows beneath her eyes and lines that bracketed her full lips.
It was the first occasion that Leonida could recall her mother actually appearing her age.
That was more frightening than all the melodramatic insinuations of imminent danger.
"Being the leader of the Russian empire is never a simple task," she said in low tones. "Unrest is always brewing among the citizens, while treachery is a mandatory game for the nobility, but matters have become even more perilous over the past few years. Alexander spends too much time away from his throne as he travels about the world. It gives his enemies encouragement to plot against him."
"They hardly need encouragement."
"Perhaps not, but they grow more bold with every passing day."
Leonida licked her dry lips. "And there is something in the letters that would offer Alexander Pavlovich's enemies the means to harm him?"
"What "
Meet the Author
Bestselling author Rosemary Rogers, dubbed "The Queen of Historical Romance" by the New York Times Book Review, was born into a wealthy family in the colonial splendor of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. Prone to daydreams and fantasies since childhood, she wrote her first novel at the age of eight, and throughout her teens penned passionately romantic epics in the style of her favorite writers.
Rosemary began her writing career while working full-time as a secretary for the California Parks Department.
A divorced mother of four, Rosemary was struggling to raise her children on a meager secretary's salary. During lunch hours and late at night after the children had fallen asleep, Rosemary put pen to paper, capturing the steamy romantic fantasy that played itself out so vividly in her imagination.
A stickler for detail, Rosemary rewrote her first manuscript 23 times, toiling over the historical accuracies. Until the day her teenage daughter found the manuscript in a drawer, and encouraged her mother to send her novel off to a publishing house.
The hours of revision paid off when the unsolicited, unagented manuscript was accepted immediately for publication.
That novel, Sweet Savage Love, skyrocketed to the top of bestseller lists, and became one of the most popular historical romances of all time. Throughout her career, Rosemary has written over 16 novels, sold millions upon millions of copies worldwide, and her novels have been translated into 11 languages.
Rosemary makes her home in Connecticut.

Not the best from Rosemary Rogers. I still think one of her best is The Wildest Heart. This book, "Bound by Love" cannot compare and does not her any credit as a writer. It's disjointed, and no character development, other than Stefan (who is supposed to be the hero, but I found to be quite the jerk, and didn't care for him in the least).
I was so excited when I learned Rogers was coming out with a novel, especially a follow up to Scandalous Deception. I bought it the day it came out, but I was disappointed to find that it was half as thick as her other ones. The story started out good, with a great plot but there was a little too much friction between Stephan and Leonida. It was also missing the love scenes which were always present in other novels. The end was also disappointing, as it seemed like a rushed finish. This was not a bad read, especially if you like to find out about other characters from past stories but this was not her best.
The "hero" and "heroine" are very uninteresting. There's no real personality for either, the only thing they seem to have in common is their oft mentioned physical beauty and their "romance" is boring. There's no build up at all, the arrogant guy has the virginal daughter of the emperor's clothes completely off out in a garden by their second meeting, and it's not even interesting. She's Russian but only makes exclamations in French ("Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu!") The plot is pretty thin and the bad guys are all your stereotypical mustache twirling types. Everyone sounds the same and it's hard to even figure out or even care who the other characters are because they all have the same speech mannerisms and the characterizations are trite. I tried to muddle through this book but could only get half way through. Not recommended.
In 1821 Leonida Karkoff arrives as a welcome guest of Lord Edmond and his wife Brianna (see SCANDALOUS DECEPTION). However, Leonida finds herself attracted to her shock to her host's twin brother Stefan, the Duke of Huntley. Stefan distrusts Leonida, who as the illegitimate daughter of Czar Alexander has no reason to be in England unless she has some diabolical plot to harm the Russian ruler. However, Stefan is more upset with himself for wanting a woman he distrusts. Leonida feels guilt as she is pulled in two directions as her mother sent her to retrieve letters that will hurt the czar if exposed and her desire perhaps even love for Stefan. He seduces her, but soon afterward she vanishes with the letters to the content with him in pursuit. In St. Petersburg, Stefan catches up with his Leonida, who has fled his bed for fear her heart will die if she remains with her beloved. The St. Petersburg setting refreshes a wonderful Regency romance sequel starring two beloved enemies. Besides the enticing Russian backdrop, Leonida is a refreshing protagonist pulled by her mother in one direction and yanked in the opposite by her love for Stefan. Fans will enjoy this brisk tale as Rosemary Rogers shows why she is consistently one of the historical romance sub-genre sure things. Harriet Klausner

Therapeutic efficacy was studied in nine acromegalic patients. Eight were initially treated with supervoltage radiation therapy. Of these, four subsequently underwent surgery. Indices of "activity" correlated poorly with levels of somatotropin (STH). The other four had a satisfactory result manifested by a reduction in basal somatotropin level to normal, retention of anterior pituitary function, and absence of extrasellar extension. It is suggested that these patients have a small, or slow-growing adenoma, characterized by lower somatotropin levels and no extrasellar extension of hypopituitarism. Supervoltage radiation appeared to be best for this group. Reduction in somatotropin levels increased with time after radiation. Patients who would have been better managed with surgery had a large, or rapidly growing tumor and had clinical characteristics of hypopituitarism, hypothalamic extension, and visual field encroachment.

NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) - A triple shooting in Coweta County left a
14-year-old boy dead.
Coweta County Sheriff Mike Yeager said 14-year-old Anthony
Olbert was shot to death by his mother's lover, who then shot and
killed himself.
The shooting happened at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday in Newnan.

[edit] Background
Set in the future, chaotic warfare has engulfed the universe. The world is ripe with strife as gigantic mecha called Mobile Suits march to war on land and in space. Featuring characters and mecha from over 30 years of Gundam anime and manga series, DYNASTY WARRIORS:GUNDAM 3 thrusts players into the galactic melee with over 50 playable and upgradable characters and over 70 playable and upgradeable Mobile Suits combed from the Gundam universe. New additions include Mobile Suits from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Mobile Suit Gundam UC and many more.
[edit] Game Play
DYNASTY WARRIORS:GUNDAM 3 also features a number of gameplay additions to the series, including 3 brand new featured systems, including the Partner Strike, Emergency Dash and Recovery Gauge Systems, which will bring a new level of full-out tactical action to the series. The Partner Strike System will enable the player to summon partner characters to the battlefield to assist at crucial moments, affecting your character's current melee engagement or possibly the overall battlefield conditions for your army. The Emergency Dash System will allow players to execute new cancel and evasion moves negating enemy attacks. This system will bring a new level to gameplay since powerful combos can be more easily parried. The new Recovery Gauge System enables players to recover armor during battle allowing players more flexibility in their tactics on the battlefield.
Additionally, the DYNASTY WARRIORS:GUNDAM 3 brings a new strategy facet to gameplay. Battlefields now incorporate multiple facilities with various functions. Capturing these locations will change the battlefield conditions and turn the tide of the battle in your favor. By initiating an explosion via certain attacks, players will be able to cause further carnage with their own chain of explosions. Skillful players can use this system to finish off entire squads of Mobile Suits in one blow, thus turning the tide of battle in their favor.
This game is also known as Gundam Musou 3 in Japan.

Numerical processing has been extensively studied by examining the performance on basic number processing tasks, such as number priming, number comparison, and number line estimation. These tasks assess the innate "number sense," which is assumed to be the breeding ground for later mathematics development. Indeed, several studies have associated children's performance in these tasks with individual differences in mathematical achievement. To date, however, most of these studies have cross-sectional designs. Moreover, the few longitudinal studies either use complex tasks (e.g., story problems) or investigate only one of these basic number processing tasks at a time. In this study, we examine the association between the performance of children on several basic number processing tasks and their individual math achievement scores on a curriculum-based test measured 1 year later. Regression analyses showed that most of the variance in children's math achievement was predicted by nonsymbolic number line estimation performance (i.e., estimating large quantities of dots) and, to a lesser extent, the speed of comparing symbolic numbers. This knowledge about the predictive value of the performance of 5- to 7-year-olds on these markers of number processing can help with the early identification of at-risk children. In addition, this information can guide appropriate educational interventions.

An armed bandit has been shot dead while trying to rob a cash
courier security guard outside a Gold Coast pub.
Police say the victim, who was armed with a gun, tried to
hijack a cash courier service outside the Highland Park
Tavern this morning.
The security guard and the bandit struggled, with the guard
firing a number of shots.
"The alleged offender received a life-threatening injury and
died at the scene," police said.
The security guard suffered minor facial injuries and is
helping police with the investigation.
The incident happened about 7.40am (local time) and forced
the closure of nearby streets as well as sending a nearby
child care centre into lockdown.
Police have appealed for anyone who may have seen anyone
acting suspiciously in the area to come forward.
A crime scene has been established and investigators remain
on the scene.

Me and a friend are writing a program which is supposed to solve a CLP problem. We want to use minimize to optimize the solution but it won't work, because it keeps saying that the number we get from sum(P,#=,S) is between two numbers (for example 5..7). We haven't been able to find a good way to extract any number from this or manipulate it in any way and are therefore looking for your help.
The problem seems to arise from our gen_var method which says that each element of a list must be between 0 and 1, so some numbers come out as "0..1" instead of being set properly.
Is there any way to use minimize even though we get a number like "5..7" or any way to manipulate that number so that we only get 5? S (the sum of the elements in a list) is what we're trying to minimize.
gen_var(0, []).
gen_var(N, [X|Xs]) :-
M is N-1,
gen_var(M, Xs),
find([H|T],P):- match(H,P),find(T,P).
match(pri(_,L),P):-member(X,L), nth1(X,P,1).
main(N,L,P,S) :- gen_var(N,P), minimize(findsum(L,P,S),S).

All that remains is to start the WebGoat lessons.
One Last Point
If the problems or solutions do not reveal themselves to you, there are hints available to guide you through the lessons. Don't be too eager, though – application testing is 10% technique and 90% lateral thinking. You will learn and remember much more if you struggle through the puzzles posed by the lessons. This will force you through a large number of failed attempts and finally a flash of insight that brings you to the solution. You can blame it on the Goat, but you can't rely on him.

looking for a print/copy shop in Boston that you don't have to babysit
I'm looking for a print/copy shop, preferably downtown Boston, but will travel to nearby areas by T, that can do small batches (12-25) of full-color brochures that need to be folded a particular way. Apparently quite a few print shops don't do small runs, or don't do folding. Our current vendor, who I will politely not name, has left us unsatisfied on a few occasions (color not great, messed up the folding job, requiring us to refold them all). Already tried ProPriint, and their quote was fairly expensive (~1300$ for 25 ) Ideally we'd be looking at half that amount. I'm hoping someone can provide a "I've used VENDORX and they were AWESOME" kind of testimonial.
iPad/iPhone printing to HP Officejet 100 via Airport...
MobilePrintingFilter - I needed a diminutive printer, and only the HP Officejet 100 fit the bill. I've got it working fine from my Macbook via direct USB, via Bluetooth, and, having USB-connected it to the same Airport Extreme base station that delivers my internet connection, via Bonjour. Now all I'm missing is... printig to it from my iPad. [more inside]

Fast, custom business cards online (Moo-like) from union print shop?
I'm having business cards made, and I want them in a mini size (like 70mm X 28mm). But I can't seem to find a union print shop online that does cards with smaller dimensions like that. (Obvs I want a union bug). Thanks, hive-folk!
Looking for an inexpensive online print shop for a brochure...
I've been hired by a client to design a (relatively) simple brochure for her. She'd like it to be bilingual (English/French) and, due to this, would ideally like all the content in one language to be on one side of the 8.5"x11" page, so it's easier to read when completely unfolded. It's like a reverse Z-fold... [more inside]
How can I print high-quality screen caps?
I'm trying to create a book of tweets. I've screencapped images of tweets as both jpegs and pngs, and uploaded them to four different "make a book" sites (Picaboo, Mixbook, Snapfish, and Shutterfly) and each time, the site warns me that the image is too low-quality to print well. The image preview does not look good. [more inside]

44 USC and Federal Photocopiers: Illegal?
How much in-house print and/or photocopy production can federal offices perform without violating 44 USC § 501? [more inside]
There is probably an easy solution to this, but damned if I can find it.
I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 and Firefox 13.0.1. The printing scale under File -> Page Setup in Firefox has randomly started defaulting to 60%. So every time I restart Firefox, I have to go in there and change it back to 100% before I print anything. I can't figure out how to change it back. Is this a Firefox thing, or a printer thing? [more inside]
Firefox Tiny Printing
Recently when I print with Firefox, it tries to squeeze everything into 1 page. The text is TINY. I have tried "Print 100%", Scale to Fit, Print regular in preferences (HP Laserjet 4200). I have tried to print with different drivers. Nothing I do save "Print 200+%" works, and that's absolutely absurd to have to do each time. Chrome prints things fine, but I really don't want to have to use a different browser each time... Anybody have an idea? Any info I seem to find on the web comes up with old FF2 and FF3 printing issues. Nothing with a more current version on the mozilla forums.
Slow printing of a specific PDF
We have a laserjet 4250 at work. I'm running into an issue with it printing one specific PDF very slowly (i.e. prints a page. pauses for half a second, prints the next, pause...) Normally it spits them out very rapidly. [more inside]
Stickers on Demand
I am a procrastinator and now I am up against a gift-giving deadline (Saturday!) with no time for shipping. For reasons I won't get into here, its really important that I can include custom stickers (small squarish ones like 2x2 or label size; dimensions are not so important). I thought it would be easy to have them made at Walmart or a drugstore but it looks like those places will only ship them to you, not print them in the store. If I have to, I can buy sticker paper and print them myself but the quality of my home printer is not great. Are there any obvious choices I am overlooking?

Identify Japanese woodblock print of kabuki actor, possibly by Kunichika, possibly set on Tokaido Road
Need help identifying this Japanese woodblock print of a kabuki actor. I think the artist is Kunichika, and the print is set somewhere on the Tôkaidô Road. At the top of the page is a large box of Japanese text -- I'm hoping someone can read this, or otherwise identify any hints about the location, actor and character.

It's the perfect template!
I have a template I use for my grocery lists that I've made in my spreadsheet program (Numbers). Is there somewhere online that I can send it (say, as a PDF) to be printed in the form of a pad of paper? Staples doesn't appear to do this. I am in Canada.

Where to print a children's book
I'd like to make a picture book for a friend's child. Where to print it? I'd want the pages to be matte paper and the cover shiny, just like a real child's book. I only need a single copy.
Size matters
How can I print 34 lines of text so that it takes up exactly 6.125 inches? Or equivalently, so that each line is .18 inches. I tried different fonts in various word processors but always ended up a little to large or too small. There's probably an obvious way to do this using some easily available software (preferably free) but I can't seem to figure out what it is.

CD Hi-Fi Mini System
Stylish CD Mini-System with USB, DAB+, and iPod/iPhone Playback
Seeking a versatile and ear-pleasing audio system for your office, small flat, or bedroom? Then meet the suavely compact CS-245DAB from Onkyo. As well as playing regular CDs and MP3-encoded CD-Rs, the system features a built-in DAB+ tuner for unlimited access to digital radio. But the playback options don't end there. On top of the unit is a digital dock for iPod/iPhone, and on the front-side is a USB port that lets you play audio from a flash drive. As always with Onkyo, construction is top-notch. The player/receiver body is supported by seamless steel front and side panels designed to reduce vibrations.

I am using qTranslate to translate my wordpress site in two languages. I have it in both Dutch and English. When I try to use the Featured Articles Lite slider it comes up with a problem. I would like to have the featured image, the post title and the post text(at least the first part of it) visible in the slider. The title is being translated just fine but the problem occurs with the content text. Within the slider it shows both translations directly next to each other. So it detects the translations in the title just fine, just not in the content.
I am quite new to the world of website editing, so I really hope there is someone who could help me out here! I'd appreciate it!

Jimmy Hendricks, our tennis account executive here at Active, made an appearance at the USTA Campus Championships in Cary, NC this weekend to represent the Active Network and our products.
Jimmy���s report of the weekend���s frivolities was overwhelmingly positive, sharing that it was a great experience to spend a weekend watching tennis and interacting with current and potential clients.
eteamz was one of the Active products represented at the event, for which we developed a two-sided 4.25x5.5 printed card as well as a corresponding landing page.
The tennis landing page.
I have been trying to shift to a ���less is more��� strategy for our marketing materials, focusing on a couple key points about the product as well as big product screenshots. Historically, eteamz has gone more with the ���fit as much info into the provided space as possible��� approach.
Sometime in the near future the plan is to adopt this minimalist strategy across the board for eteamz in tandem with the re-launch of the Active.com site. However, at this point the focus is completely on fixing all the site performance and stability issues.
Pretty exciting stuff!

How can I build a content accordian that will work with a single page and the content on it?
I have tried some plugins but I can't get them to work.
This is such a pain and so many clients want these accordian things now. I really need to figure out a way to get this working. I need it to exist in a page's content. No posts. With just jQuery and HTML this is no problem but in WordPress I can't figure it out.
Are there shortcodes or something that can be used? Anyone know a good plugin that works in 3.0 and can collapse and expand sections of copy? I also need it to collapse the others when one is expanded.
Thanks for your help!

Hello !
Is there a way to make some "internals" links to posts/pages when writing new content ?
I mean, If I put an absolute URL and that I move my blog, all of them will be broken.
I've tryed the plugin "autolink" but it made errors on my blog.
With this, you can do
"<a href="70">" to link the #70 post... It's very useful.
Is there something like this in WordPress core ?

The availability and cost of energy resources are top of mind with Buildings readers
By Linda Monroe
Linda Monroe
A survey taken by Buildings subscribers identified 10 topics that were of most interest. Look for the "Top 10 Topic" icon to identify feature stories on these subjects.
To provide you with content that will help you make smarter decisions in your role as building ownership and facilities management professionals, the Buildings editorial staff makes a concerted effort to take the pulse of the industry via in-person visits, phone and e-mail interviews and conversations with a variety of resources, industry-wide research and events, and reader surveys (both formal and anecdotal). In our latest formal editorial survey, you told us that your No. 1 topic - the one you want to know most about - is energy management. (See the list of your Top 10 Topics) And, let's be honest: Much of that interest boils down to lowering operational costs.
But, the consumption of energy is a hot topic. As you read this, it is being (and will continue to be) hotly debated amongst suppliers, users, and special-interest groups. Candidates in this Election Year are using scare tactics about energy availability to manipulate the media and public; yet, they support an entourage of personnel and all the trappings in their coast-to-coast campaigns. Your children march in support of their favorites, waving "Save the Planet" banners, and then come home and take 30-minute showers, keep lights ablaze all night long, and cruise indefinitely in their automobiles. Employees show company loyalty by working around the clock - losing sleep, but expending even more electricity, water, and HVAC-system usage. If energy is clearly a necessity of life, what is energy management?
Consider the following words of the National Park Service (a subset of the U.S. Department of the Interior) - particularly if you're looking for a professional and personal rationale that goes beyond mere cost savings:
"Most 'modern' architecture, transportation, and food production was created upon, and is dependent on, the assumption that using fossil fuels for energy is economical and that their supply is inexhaustible. Few people are aware of the true costs associated with the overuse of fossil fuels: Mining that displaces habitats, forest cover, and farmland; oil spills that foul beaches, marine environments, and groundwater; and air pollution that reduces the chances for species survival are difficult to associate with flipping on a light switch, running an air-conditioner, or driving a car.
"In reality, unchecked consumption of the finite fossil-fuel reserves drives more and more exploration and extraction at a higher economic cost, and displaces more and more natural resources at a higher environmental cost. A compounding reality is that generating energy by burning coal, oil, and natural gas is a major source of atmospheric contamination responsible for global warming and climate change, acid rain, and smog. The resulting impact damages water bodies and groundwater, soils, crops, wildlife and wildlife habitat, building materials, and mankind's personal health. The combined effect is the inability to sustain life.
"Thus, the true cost of using fossil fuels for highly consumptive energy needs is not just the price humans pay ... it is also the price the environment pays."
