Well, I'M certainly not one -- maybe you aren't either. But let's just set aside those labels and think about people who bring something glowing into our lives, unexpectedly, undeserved.
I got on a different bus at a different time today - different route, and terribly crowded. Beyond rush-hour crowded, past bus-is-late crowded, all the way to stuffed-to-the-gill-fringes crowded.
There was a woman sitting near the front who was unobtrusively directing standing people to seats when they became empty, so I ended up sitting near her (after practically hitting her in the face with my bulky backpack) and we started talking.
She was holding an incredibly beautiful bouquet of flowers -- blue iris, yellow freesia, something white and something green, with a little pink-and-peach spray of what she called "composed flowers" (flowers crafted using petals from other flowers). So we got to talking about them, and it turned out she was a student of floral design. She was also cheerful (without being at all perky) -- just wryly amused at our crazy jammed-up situation. Then she got up to give an older woman a seat, even though her hands were almost full and she was about my age (which means not a spring chicken herself).
Just before she got off, she reached out her flowers to me, and I took them, thinking she needed someone to hold them while she gathered her things. "No, keep them!" she said. "I got up this morning and knew I wanted to give someone flowers today, so I'm giving them to you." And off she went --
It changed my whole afternoon. It changed me, just a tiny bit, even though it was such a small thing, shining amazingly in our drab world:
blue, yellow, white, green, rosey-sweet against the gray. Pass it on, pass it on . . .

In a message dated 96-07-01 08:58:40 EDT, you write: > If you check with the experts, or do some modelling, you'll find that the XA comes out >4-8 dB better in the forward gain department. 4 dB is 60% of the power. Tony -- Intertesting post. Not being an engineer has its disadvantages but I understand that the TOTAL gain of antennas such as the ones you're citing would be in the 4-6dB range. How can there be a 4-8 dB ADVANTAGE? Wouldn't that put the total gain between 8-10 dB which is impossible theoretical gain for a short or even medium boom length? > To equate the two antennas' performance would >require that the XA dissipate almost 1KW in the form of heat. That would >be 100 watts per trap (there are 10 traps in an XA). I think that much power >would be enough to melt the plastic end caps out of the traps. >The traps of the XA are made out of three materials - air, aluminum, >and polyethylene (?) capacitor caps. Air is very low loss, the aluminum >tubing is of reasonable diameter so skin effect losses are minimal, and >the capacitor end caps constitute such a minute percentage of the capacitors >that they can't dissipate 100 watts each. The >upshot is that while there is merit in the efficiency arguement, there >isn't 4 dB of merit. I'd be willing to accept that antennas with lumped >traps like a TH7 or A4 etc would have higher losses. But the XA uses >linear loading and air-capacitors - you can't get much lower loss than that. > It talking to Lew McCoy at Dayton this year, he told me of an unpublished test of a KT34XA that he ran when they first came out. He put 2kw keydown into the XA for 30 minutes. He had a guy on the tower and Lew asked him to touch the elements to see if they had warmed up. They were so HOT that the poor guy got burns on his hands (no RF, remember - just residual heat) that they had to take him to the emergency room of the local hospital. I think that your observation of the heat dissipated by the XA is probably accurate. That heat, as you know, is RF that is staying in the antenna as an indication of inefficiency. Also, each connection in an antenna results in ohmic losses. The XA has dozens of connections and a lot of cumulative ohmic loss. While the XA is a known high-performance tribander (I even recommended it in my talk at the contest forum at Dayton this year), do not discount the alledged performance advantage of the Force 12 designs. BTW, your modelling of the XA as monobanders does not address the traps in the design or the connection ohmic losses. IMO your evaluation is interesting but may not reflect on-the-air effectiveness. 73, Steve K7LXC BTW I'm selling my TH7 and getting a C-3.

The news from Connecticut is gruesome. Children in first grade shot three to seven times each at point blank range with an assault rifle. It is time to do more than offer prayers and condolences. We need to take action. Please write to President Obama and to members of the House and Senate and urge them to vote on a bill to renew the ban on assault rifles, and do to it before Christmas.
On Sept. 13, 1994, Congress passed and President Clinton signed a bill that banned assault rifles. At the end of 10 years the ban expired. Since then there have been repeated efforts to renew the ban but lobbyists from the National Rifle Association have prevented a vote on a renewed ban, despite the fact that a majority of NRA members support a ban.
We need to insist on an up or down vote. No games, no filibusters, no parliamentary tricks — just vote.
I am sure my Congressman, Scott Garrett, will vote against a ban. That is his right. Then he can explain to his constituents why they need to keep assault rifles in their homes.

Newsmax Jane Fonda, Steinem Want Rush Fired Sunday, March 11, 2012 12:24 PM
By: Newsmax Wires
Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem, two icons of the liberal feminist establishment, are taking aim at Rush Limbaugh in a bid to end the career of Americas most popular conservative talk show host.
In an op-ed written for CNN on their website, the two, joined by Robin Morgan, liken Limbaugh to Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels because, they say, he labels all of his enemies as sub-human.
Limbaugh doesn't just call people names, they write. He promotes language that deliberately dehumanizes his targets. Like the sophisticated propagandist Josef Goebbels, he creates rhetorical frames -- and the bigger the lie the more effective -- inciting listeners to view people they disagree with as sub-humans. His longtime favorite term for women, "femi-nazi," doesn't even raise eyebrows anymore, an example of how rhetoric spreads when unchallenged by coarsened cultural norms.

Nelson DeMille's review of Aid and Comfort: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam
... As a combat infantry officer in Vietnam, I can attest to the fact that Jane Fonda, and people like her, succeeded very well in lowering troop morale.
And as any combat vet will tell you, low morale leads to lowered effectiveness and that leads to battlefield deaths.
Henry Mark Holzer and Erika Holzer present a well written, well researched, and very logical indictment for treason against Jane Fonda.
This book is not only about the past; it is about the post-September 11, 2001, present.
It is about people who can find nothing good about their country; people who see no moral justification in national defense; people who make excuses for, and who aid and abet, repressive and hostile regimes.
For those of us who answered the call of duty, and who put their lives on the line for this country, Jane Fonda will forever be a symbol of treachery, divisiveness, and cowardliness.
In a way, she got away with treason, but the Holzers' book goes a long way in righting a terrible wrong.
They both make me want to puke.
Don't they have some bras to burn?
LOL, who is going to fire him? He is his own boss.
...and I'd like Fonda and Steinem to drive off of the edge of the Grand Canyon together ala Thelma and Louise.
We all have our wishes.
They are saying this, of course, after having read the dehumanizing commentary of the left-wing re: conservative men and women....didn't think so....
I want Jane Fonda fired.
I'm tired of seeing her on the movies she's making, all the time. I mean, I don't want to see Jane Fonda on television all the time...
Oh wait.
I don't think Fonda ever had enough to stuff into a bra, don't know about Steinem
plea bargain...you can slap Rush on the wrist the day you put a traitor's noose around Jane Fonda's neck
Jane Fonda, Commie, Traitor, B!#@H!
LOL! First belly laugh of the morning--thanks!
But instead of wasting a good '65 T-Bird, we need them to do it in a Chevy Volt.
To bad they had to ruin a perfectly restored t-bird to do it...
Free speech for me, but none for thee. - Democratic Party, 2012

How do you "fire" Rush Limbaugh?

Gloria Steinem to Headline Obama Park Avenue Fundraiser
By Taylor Marsh on 31 August 2011
Are Obama surrogates Gloria Allred, Jane Fonda, & Gloria Steinem calling for gov't censorship of Rush Limbaugh?
IS Obama desperate to silence Rush Limbaugh?
"Logic has nothing to do with oppression."-Gloria Steinem
Hanoi Jane directs Viet Cong shelling of US soldiers.
He hates her with a passion!
Wow... I study leftist worldviews and thought processes in order to understand how and why they think what they do...
But I have NO IDEA what that is supposed to mean.
FYI, that photo of Jane and JFnK is a documented fraud.
They're so vain.
They probably think the word was about them,
they're so vain!
and Id like Fonda and Steinem to drive off of the edge of the Grand Canyon together ala Thelma and Louise.
In a Volt!
Anyone have a link showing Fonda or Steinem supporting the "Slut Walks" of a few months ago?
Steinem refers to conservative women as âfemale impersonators.â
See? This is the kind of bull sh*t we have to put up with when traitors are not tried and executed!
I'm with you both:
"Two dolts in a Volt."
"Are Obama surrogates Gloria Allred, Jane Fonda, & Gloria Steinem calling for govt censorship of Rush Limbaugh?"
Well let's just rip that first ammendment right out of the constitution.
"But instead of wasting a good '65 T-Bird, we need them to do it in a Chevy Volt."
I was going to object to them driving off the Canyon and messing it up with their nasty remains, but if it was in a Volt??? Maybe worth it. On the other hand how long would it take for the old hags to drive across the country stopping to recharge every 30 miles?
It is as valid as obama's birth certificate, maybe more so because the photos were cropped from original photos.
too bad a pilot didnt frag hanoi jane when they had the chance...but i guess frateranizing with and *occupying* an enemy AA gun is in 'the [American] public interest' ???
I don't think it means anything at all. I think it just something she said to fill in dead air while she was speaking. She thought it sounded like "something" and it just rolled off the tongue.
I think a lot of the time she and other agitators say things like this and they don't even pause and reflect on what they have said.
It's because they talk too damn much. They love to hear themselves speak and they get paid to do so. They get away with it because they're speaking to idiots.
Isn't Fonda a traitor?
the utlimate sin for a liberal: being prevented from feeling good about themselves.
It will be a small fire.
Course all the names Sarah Palin were called was just fine. Hypocrites!
Pray for America
More out-spoken Dems like her and Obama's chances of re-election would be pretty low.
Imagine how something like this could be used if say Pelosi was talking like this.

Split with Ted has spiritual roots, say friends
Published: 01/06/2000 at 1:00 AM

An American Traitor: Guilty as Charged
By Henry Mark Holzer and Erika Holzer
After thirty years of dodging the question and distorting the issue, Jane Fonda has made her case for exculpating the treason she committed in Vietnam. The case fails on every count.
For three decades Jane Fonda obfuscated, distorted and lied about virtually everything connected with her wartime trip to North Vietnam: her motive, her acts, her intent, and her contribution to the Communists war effort.
With the aid of clever handlers, she so successfully suppressed and spun her conduct in Hanoi that many Americans didnt know what she had done there, and, more important, the legal significance.
Three years ago, our book Aid and Comfort: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam (McFarland & Co.), laid bare the incontrovertible facts, applied the American law of treason to them and proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Jane Fonda shhave been indicted for (and would have been convicted of) treason.
With the recent publication of Fondas autobiography, My Life So Far which, with one minor exception, does not contain a single cited source to support any claim she makes in her text, or any quotation she uses the woman justly dubbed Hanoi Jane makes statements and provides details that inadvertently lend support to every key charge against her.
Especially noteworthy is that she devotes 50 pages of her nearly 600 page book which spans about seventy years of her life to the two-week trip to Communist North Vietnam that tarnished her public image forever. One of these chapters is called Framed which is a pun referring to the infamous photograph of her sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-craft gun and also the characteristically perverse claim of innocence by a defendant whom that same photograph has caught in the act.
Since her conduct in wartime Vietnam continues to inflame Americans vets harassed and even spat on her during her book tour and to dog her heels at every turn, one might have expected her to put some substance into her account of this period in her life. Instead, the public is served up with lies that are transparent and omissions designed to bury the truth. ...
Heck, I haven't heard from either one in such a long time, my initial response was, "They're still alive?"
"We have to listen with empathy." Jane Fonda
Ironic, isn't she?
She said this regarding a measure of reconciliation that she and some Vietnam veterans had forged together back in 1988.

Use Bowser to breath flames onto the door
Sorry guys, I meant 3-3.
I feel like an idiot asking this; but I am stuck.. When you get to the top of the tree you see the door is blocked with bark.
I tried exploring in the 3D world and found some blocks that are revealed .. but besides that could not find anything interesting.
Also, went down the pipe but found only coins.
Thanks a lot

And just this is the subject to heated discussion ever since PRIMAL FEAR appeared on the scene, in the same way that some are praising them, others are trashing them as if there were no tomorrow. So what can you do as potential fan? Exactly, you listen to it for yourself, but then I'd have no raison d'etre, so I just keep on writing, securing my own post, so to say.
I've never been a real PRIMAL FEAR-maniac and also "Nuclear Fire" won't make me one, but it for sure is their best album so far, the songs appear to be more mature, more fluent, even though I cannot really put it into words.
The double-bass is thundering through around each corner ("Angel In Black", "Back From Hell", "Nuclear Fire"), but still they don't go full-speed all the way, but also use powerful mid-tempo ("Kiss Of Death", "Now Or Never", "Eye Of An Eagle") and what would be an album without a ballad, "Bleed For Me" is the one here.
Qualitatively they are moving on a considerable level, where "Eye Of An Eagle" and the title-track, which somehow reminds me of early GAMMA RAY, have to be pointed out as feature tracks, but still, it hasn't turned out to be a great album again, "only" a good one, so the discussions will continue...

More than 30 minutes after Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul had ended his stump speech at the University of Michigan on Tuesday night, he was still surrounded by young people.
Standing on The Diag, Paul was posing for photos while shaking hands and signing countless posters, stickers and a few other items that emerged from the crowd - like a $10 bill produced by sophomore Andrew Schon.
Schon, a self-described liberal, said he likes Paul's "activism of peace." Paul voted against the authorization for the war in Iraq, and Paul drew some of the loudest applause of the night when he said the U.S. should pull its troops out of Iraq.
"I would consider voting for Ron Paul," said Schon, of Rochester Hills, "especially if Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination."
Paul, a Texas congressman, is a long-shot for the Republican nomination. But his campaign is drawing interest in some unlikely places, like college campuses such as Michigan's.
Paul's staunch opposition to the war was cited by several students who were among the hundreds of mostly college-aged people to hear him speak. They nearly filled the brick plaza outside the U-M graduate library, where the campaign had set up a podium.
Paul delivered a message of a non-interventionist foreign policy, less government regulation and fewer taxes. He would like to get rid of the IRS, opposes the income tax, and says young people should be able to "get flat out of the Social Security system." He said generations have been taught to be dependent on government programs but he has "no intention of throwing people out on the street."
"In order to tied people over and to work a transition, there's a perfect way to do this and it's not difficult," he said. "And that is, quit all this spending overseas. Wasted money. We are now spending nearly a trillion dollars a year to maintain an empire... We weren't to be the policeman of the world."
Alex Karpowitsch, a senior from Troy who also attended the rally, said he liked Paul's defense of civil liberties and views on the economy. "We've swung the pendulum to the right all the way, and I feel like he's a counterbalance," said Karpowitsch.
Paul stopped in Ann Arbor after participating in the Republican debate in Dearborn. He was planning on spending the night at a hotel near the Detroit Metro Airport and flying to Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.
Paul's campaign is particularly popular on the Internet. Kyle Thibaut, a sophomore from Flint, was one of the students who had learned more about Paul through Web sites such as YouTube, Facebook and Digg. "This is the first time I've actually supported a Republican," said Thibaut.
A campaign video made by U-M supporters, taken outside Michigan Stadium before the Michigan-Notre Dame football game, has been viewed more than 12,000 times on YouTube. Those U-M supporters also arranged for a "Ron Paul for President" banner to be flown around Michigan Stadium on the day of the game.
"A lot of the Internet presence, I guess you'd call it 'grassroots'," said Rob Johnson, chairman of the Michigan chapter of Students for Ron Paul. "It's done by a lot of people without any direction from the national campaign."
Johnson said Paul's appeal cuts across parties, and includes socially-minded liberals who feel disaffected with the Democratic Party. But Travis Radina, chairman of Students for Edwards, doubted that Paul will steal away many student Democrats. A recent event for Democrats drew a standing room only crowd at the Michigan Union, said Radina.
"I think as soon as any student who traditionally affiliates with Democrats understands how socially conservative he is, it's going to turn them off," he said.
Paul, a longtime OB/GYN doctor, opposes abortion and has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership, according to his campaign.
As popular as Paul may be with students, their support historically hasn't translated into a windfall of votes at the ballot box, said Michael Traugott, a professor of communication studies and political science at U-M.
"Student voters are the sort of Holy Grail of outsider candidates especially," said Traugott. "They are attractive because they're large in number but they also have notoriously low participation rates."

SILVERHILL, Alabama -- Frank Kucera stood in the silent interior of the Little Hall on Friday and remembered going to dances there in the 1950s.
"They had square dances. You could polka if you wanted, or waltz. That was all before Elvis," he said.
Years earlier, he said, his parents held their wedding reception in the same room.
"There are a lot of memories in this place," Kucera added.
Now, the hardwood floor bends in the center, and the leaning north wall is separated from the ceiling. In March, a tornado that rumbled through town shoved the 91-year-old Little Hall 21 feet off its foundation.
Now, the hall stands within 6 feet of the fence around the town water tower. Another storm could send it into the tower and damage the Silverhill water system, according to reports from insurance adjusters who have recommended that the hall be demolished.
Kucera and others, however, are campaigning to save the beloved Little Hall, and move it to Paul Anderson Park, across Ala. 104 from Silverhill Town Hall.
"If the good Lord wanted this building gone, he had the perfect chance to do it," Kucera said. "This is a tough old building. It's survived two moves and now this, and we're not going to let it be lost now."
The committee set up to save the hall has raised about $13,000 so far, members said. Also, the town has agreed to provide about $18,000 earmarked for demolition to help with the move.
More fundraising efforts are being arranged for 2012.
The move itself will cost $18,800, while $8,500 will be needed to remove and replace the roof so that Little Hall can fit under utility lines.
The price tag for restoration isn't yet known. Kucera said that some estimates come in at about $25,000, but much depends on a structural examination after the move.
Little Hall supporters said a fund has been set up at Union Bank in Silverhill, and donations can be mailed to Save The Little Hall at P.O. Box 309, Silverhill, AL. 36576. Donations can also be dropped off at Town Hall.
Little Hall was built in 1920 as a school for the children of Czech families in the area, according to local histories. The road to the original site is still known as Bohemian Hall Road.
In 1978, it was moved to the campus of Silverhill School, where it served as a band room and assembly hall. When the school needed land for a new gymnasium, the hall was sold to the town for $1 and moved to its location near the water tower in the 1980s.
Jennifer Fidler grew up near the hall, and it holds a warm place in her memories.
Fidler, now Fairhope public works director, said that the hall sat next to land owned by her family. She recalled a cousin's wedding being held there in the 1970s, after a rainstorm halted plans for an outdoor event.
"Some of the wood for this came from my grandfather's property," she said. "It's part of our heritage."

Whether moving irreplaceable family photos or
a valuable vintage car, Atlas believes customers deserve to know that their belongings are in trusted hands.
That's why Atlas now requires background checks on all of its agents' permanently employed laborers hired after
May 1, 2005. Since May 2005, Atlas and its agents have screened more than 2,300 applicants using an innovative online
system developed by ChoicePoint, a data verification company. Atlas is the first company in the industry to require this important safeguard
for the customer's peace of mind.
"No matter what else we do, we have an obligation throughout the relocation process to assure our customers that their belongings
will arrive safe and unharmed," says Senior Vice President of Transportation
Dennie Lynn.
"A major step toward making that assurance is to require background checks. It's something the entire industry
should be doing."
The relocation industry has long struggled to establish standards for background checks and, in recent years,
public concerns about security have intensified. So Atlas executives moved forward with a program to bring added safety
to every customer. Background checks provide a criminal
history search to help verify the qualifications of workers who help van operators load and deliver customer
belongings. Based on the success of the program for
permanent positions, this year Atlas will expand the
program to include temporary laborers.
"About 60 percent of our relocations occur between
May and September," says Dennie. "That makes it impossible for agents to survive on
permanent laborers year-round.
We want to ensure that all Atlas personnel who enter
our customers' homes/residences-permanent or
temporary-have been adequately screened."
When initial findings raise concerns, additional screening must be performed before the applicant is deemed
eligible. Since the program began, 89 percent of candidates have successfully completed the process.
To obtain a background check, Atlas agents submit names via a link on the Atlas Web site. Typically,
results are available within minutes. If initial findings indicate a more thorough check is required,
the report may take 24 to 48 hours. The process costs about $10 per name, a cost that Dennie says is
a real bargain, given the critical nature of the information.
"This is an idea that our industry needs to embrace," says Dennie. "Protecting our customers
not only makes sense, it's our responsibility."

An Ann Arbor woman was sexually assaulted while walking home from downtown Ann Arbor Sunday morning, and police said a hat found at the scene could help identify the attacker.
The 21-year-old woman said she was walking from a party on Main Street toward her home when she passed a man in the 300 block of Packard Road at about 2:45 a.m., reports said.
She told police the man approached her and began speaking Spanish. When she said she didn't understand, the man grabbed her, forced her up against a parked vehicle in a driveway, then dragged her behind the house at 314 Packard where he began to assault her. The victim began screaming when she heard people walking by and the man ran off; he was last seen in the area of Division Street, police said.
The woman, who lost her glasses and cell phone during the attack, ran to a home on Division Street, where a resident called police.
The attacker is described as Hispanic, between 20 and 25 years of age. He wore a dark shirt and khaki cargo shorts, and had a large nose and goatee, reports said.
Police responding to the scene found the victim's belongings and a baseball hat believed to be worn by the assailant, Detective Dave Monroe said. The hat is charcoal in color and has a Hard Rock Cafe emblem on the front. The back has the words "Love all, serve all" on the back.
Monroe said the man may have attended a small party at a home in the 300 block of Packard earlier that night and that hosts of the party have been uncooperative thus far.
Anyone with information is asked to call Monroe at 734-996-3281 or the tip line at 734-996-3199.

Hi Everyone! It's been awhile since any of us have discussed these books so I thought we could give the threads a bit of a nudge.
As I posted in the new Outlander thread, if you're reading the thread for each particular book, expect spoilers for that book so you might want to finish first. If you haven't read it yet, don't get upset if you find spoilers. However, if you've read the later books, please don't discuss them outside of their own threads just as a courtesy for those that haven't read that far. I'll include links for each of the books for those that are interested.
Some of the threads have our previous discussions but I thought it would be fun to include them if you're interested.
So have fun discussing A Breath of Snow and Ashes!
Book #1 Outlander (Cross Stitch)
Book #2 Dragonfly in Amber
Book #3 Voyager
Book #4 Drums of Autumn
Book #5 The Fiery Cross
Book #6 A Breath of Snow and Ashes
Book #7 An Echo in the Bone Excerpts only at this time

I started reading Lisa See's novels and have enjoyed them very much. Check them out, if you're interested.

I'm currently about half-way through Breath and trying to pace myself so that I finish close to the release date of Echo so that I don't have to wait too long. I can easily say that Outlander and Breath are my favorites of the series so far.
The last time I finished the series (as I was able to read all 6 back-to-back) I literally felt like friends moved and didn't tell me how to get in touch with them. I'd find myself at the end of the day (when I usually read) expected to go "talk" with Jamie and Claire, only to suddenly recall they were gone!
Don't remember EVER waiting for something so excitedly for FOUR years!

Get outta my head, Holly! That was why I didn't want the series to come to end with that book. So, if I didn't read it, their story wasn't over. I know I've missed out on something special so I promise to get all the way through the series this time around. I'm so looking forward to reading them all again. *sigh*
Posted 24 April 2010 - 03:41 PM
I will say that I have enjoyed all her books, but the first two are the ones that have me captive. The reason is Scotland and Jamie, and the love they have for each other is so beautiful in these two books, with not too much about others.
I did not care as much for this one, although I did read it. mainly not because it did not like the sotry or the writing. She is terrific. But too much time was spent on Bree and Roger, who just don't affect me the same way as Jamie and Claire do. Their love is so special, I just want to read about them. I would have made some of the stories in this book and the next, which I am reading about the others, and concentrating on sexy Jamie I just love him, which says a lot for Diana's writing, and readhead men are not my thing. The darker the better for hair for me. Which is why the Phantom holds my heart.
Some of the more graphic descriptions of people sick and dying get to me a bit. She sure knows how to tell them, expecially the dead family they found. Awful. I am not reading book 7 and still think this love story is one of the most special I have ever read.

Former Western Michigan safety Louis Delmas addressed members of the media after he was selected with the first pick in the second round by the Lions.
Delmas, who is expected to start for the Lions this season, said his 5-foot-11 frame won't be an issue in Detroit.
"Pop in the film. I've played against the best of the best and I have performed every week," Delmas said. "There's no such thing as being too small - it's the fight in the dog."
Listen to the entire interview as Delmas discusses his reaction to being the Lions' No. 33 overall pick and how his Senior Bowl week likely improved his status leading up to the draft.

Overcoming Writer's Block: 7 Idea-Generating Tips for the Business Blogger
Here at QLP, we recently published our 1000th blog post. Exciting stuff! But the ideas for all those articles didn't always come easily — and even after a thousand posts, we still stare at a lot of blank pages.
As any blogger knows, producing interesting, fresh material on a regular basis can be daunting. We all suffer from writer's block now and then; but luckily, there are ways to overcome this. The next time you don't know what to write about, try a few of these idea-generating strategies:
1. Read the News
What's happening in the world — locally, nationally, and internationally? News items, business-related or otherwise, can spark many ideas. Get started by reading a newspaper daily and subscribing to online news aggregators.
Stay on top of the news specific to your industry, too. Follow blogs, websites, and other sources of industry chatter. As QLPer Mandy says, "Having a good idea of the current stuff being published can kick-start my own ideas. Sometimes people write things and I feel like I could flesh out a certain point, so I do!"
2. Examine Your Personal Spending Habits
QLPer Jenna asks herself, "Why do I love the brands that I am loyal to?" On the contrary, are there brands you refuse to buy? Brands that have disappointed you recently? Have you had any memorable customer service experiences, good or bad?
Look closely at the ways companies try to attract your business, and write about what they're doing right and wrong. Case studies and personal examples can make for informative and compelling content.
3. Draw on Hobbies and Interests
What do you like to do in your free time? Maybe you're a sports fan. Perhaps you're preparing for or just experienced a big event, such as a wedding or vacation. Whatever interests you, get creative and transform what you already love into an article that relates to your industry.
QLPer Jen says, "I also learn quite a bit while researching topics, so I think that's what really motivates me to write." What topic do you want to learn more about? Develop it into engaging material for your readers.
4. Watch TV and Movies
Television and film are great sources for blog ideas. Analyze the characters and storylines in your favorite shows and movies and apply your conclusions to your industry. QLPer Jill says, "I love picking out specific portions or quotes from things I watch and then trying to turn them into an attention-grabbing topic!"
Take notice of advertising, too. How successful was the marketing for that film you just watched? Did you see a commercial lately that altered your perception of a brand?
5. Interview Someone
Do you know anyone who has a story to tell? Are there business owners in your personal or professional life who could offer insight? Perhaps your customers are willing to share their experiences. Don't be afraid to approach people outside of your network, too — the worst they can do is say no. As long as you ask the right questions, you can provide some stellar content to your readers.
6. Revisit Old Content
Just because something isn't new doesn't mean it's not worth sharing anymore. Bring new life to old articles by finding recurring themes and topics and shaping them into compilation posts.
Also, read through the comments from your old writings. Are there issues your readers want to know more about? Did they ask questions you could answer in a new post? Can you expand a well-received article into a series?
7. Carry a Notebook
Ever had an idea strike you randomly during the day, but you lost it because you didn't write it down? Don't rely on remembering stray thoughts; instead, keep a small journal and pen with you at all times. QLPer Amy says, "My family makes fun of me for keeping a mini notebook on our coffee table, but it's saved me so many times!"
It's easy to lose hope when you're idea-less and on a deadline. But with some research and creativity, you're bound to discover something out there (or in your head) that you can turn into first-rate content. Then, once you latch onto an idea, get inspired and write!
Which of these strategies is most helpful to you? Where else do you find ideas for articles? Let us know in the comments!

She spends most of her free time consuming a variety of geeky TV shows, movies, and books, as well as funny cat videos and other Internet oddities. Otherwise, she moonlights as an editor for a literary magazine and tries to spend as much quality time as she can with friends and family. You can also connect with Rachel on Google+.
Rachel this was such a helpful blog!! I am so glad you did this. I have been having a hard time lately, so this hopefully will help me get back on track. I really like advice #s 1 and 2. Watching the news is a great idea because there is always something new and interesting going on in this world that you can turn into a blog. And Examining your own expenses is an awesomee idea! And it will be a lot of fun too because it is something you enjoy and like to talk about. Or like you said, on the contrary, business you hate and will not spend a dime at. There is most likely reasons for that, so ranting about what they do not do successfully as a business will make a great blog too!
Thank you for posting this, Rachel!! Very helpful! 🙂
Thanks, Jaimie! I'm glad the post is useful to you. 🙂 And yes, #2 is great because you get to draw from personal experiences, which is often more fun to write and more interesting to read about!
This is a great post, Rachel! And especially timely for a rainy Monday like today when motivation is dwindling. My most common strategies are (obviously) the one I was quoted on and watching movies and TV (NBC in particular). I also subscribe to quite a few news sites so I'm up to date on current events.
I really like interviewing people, but that can be tricky because once you've figured out who it is you want to interview they can be difficult to get a hold of. But it's usually worth the wait, because those posts tend to be really insightful!
Good work, Rachel! 🙂
Glad you like it, Jenna! And thanks very much for your input in the post itself!
Interviewing can often be a more drawn-out process than writing from your own experiences or research — but like you said, it's usually worth it in the end. 🙂 And you're right, NBC really is a gold mine for blog ideas, hah! We should get royalties or something for how often we write about their shows …
Thanks again, Jenna!
I always get great ideas when I'm watching t.v., but I never write them down. Then when it comes time to write I can't remember what I was even watching let alone thinking about! That's why this would have to be my favorite tip, hopefully I will remember to use it. This is a great post Rachel, it will be very useful for future blog brainstorming. Thanks 🙂
I have that problem too! I need to take my own advice and keep a notebook on me at all times. 🙂 I'm happy you found this post helpful — thanks, Jen!
It's amazing where inspiration can strike. Much of my inspiration for blogs come from random conversations that I have with Amy in our office. I could be telling her about something I saw on Facebook, and suddenly, it hits me that it could make a good post. (Thank you to Amy for listening to me ramble. 🙂 )
And I also like revisiting this Copyblogger post. Lots of good ideas here, AND it's in an easy-to-digest picture!
It's very true that inspiration can come from the strangest of places. As such, it's important to keep an open mind, so that you recognize these crazy thoughts or conversations as legitimate blog prospects and not just, well, crazy thoughts. 🙂
And that Copyblogger post is awesome! Another great resource for sure. Thanks, Mandy!
Absolutely! Watch ALL of the shows and movies! 😉
I tend to agree regarding interviews — though I know lots of people are good at them, and they should use those skills to their advantage! And you're right, sometimes it's pretty satisfying to write down those snazzy ideas instead of just typing them out.
I'm happy to hear you liked the post, Jill — thanks!
Thanks, Amy! I hope the suggestions are helpful next time you need ideas 🙂
I've made a point of keeping a short list of random-topic blogs. Ones that really aren't thematically cohesive, but offering a good enough mix to jog my mind and/or memory to write something. Think we could all use this article, Rachel, so thank you! 🙂

Stop. Wave your hands in the air and scream.
No more. No mas.
It's time for a moratorium on ... on anything.
Constitutional reform? Forget it. I wouldn't trust Goat Hill -- or the hidden interests who bankroll it -- to write my obit, much less a constitution.
Tax reform? Nope. "Reform" these days means little more than party time at the drug companies and utilities. And of course the teacher's union.
Ethics reform. You've got to be kidding me.
No mas. It's time for that moratorium. On everything.
Until we figure out who is really running this show.
Look at our politics, down to the most local levels. Who is paying the bills?
There is no way to know, because political action committees wash the money squeaky clean. They launder it and pass it around, hiding the source as the law allows.
Just pick a PAC.
I'll start with CA PAC, because it gave heavily to council and especially school board candidates such as April Williams, Phyllis Wyne, Virginia Volker, Carolyn Cobb, Odessa Ashley, Keith Rice, W.J. Maye and Maxine Parker.
Where did it come from? We can follow it only so far.
In previous reporting periods CA got money from Former Mayor Richard Arrington, from Water Board consultant Malcolm Pirnie, from Elements, the Water Board's PR firm, and others. Then it gets dicey, for CA also took money from a sister PAC, the Economic Development PAC.
Who gave to the Economic Development PAC? Track it back and you find the PAC of Waldrep, Stewart and Kendrick, lawyers for the Water Board and other agencies. You find Elements again. And more PACs. And here we go again.
What does it tell us?
Nothing, because everybody has plausible deniability. The most diligent observer can spend days putting the puzzle together, only to find pieces missing.
Susan Boxx, who runs CA PAC and Economic Development PAC, among others, did not want to comment. That's OK. It's not just her PACs that interest me.
The same happens in every election, with every issue in Alabama. Usually the Alabama Education Association PACs and the trial lawyers' PACs wage financial war with pro-business PACs and other special interests.
It drives up costs, hides the source of money and taints the process.
Perhaps worst of all, it trains our politicians to seek support in the shadows.
No mas.
We must change campaign finance laws, before we can change anything else.
We need transparency and contribution limits, but I'd settle for the transparency alone. Tell us who you are, and you can bankroll any candidate you want.
Louisiana got a new constitution only after people got so sick and tired that they said "No mas." They refused to pass any new amendments until change happened.
We should do the same. With a moratorium.

FAIRHOPE, Alabama -- Fairhope has landed its own prize, the first U.S. Pulitzer Hotel, to be built by the great-grandson of Pulitzer Prize founder Joseph Pulitzer.
The 20-room, 3-story boutique hotel on Section Street downtown will feature the Pulitzer Library, according to Mac Pulitzer, 33, of Palm Beach, Fla.
Pulitzer and his development partner, Mike Bernhardt of Fairhope, have spent 9 months planning the hotel and library, which will house a collection of Pulitzer Prize-winning novels, plays and poems as well as works by Pulitzer nominees.
The library will also highlight authors from Fairhope, the surrounding area, and Alabama, such as Winston Groom, Jimmy Buffett, Fannie Flagg and Watt Key.
"The library is a great fit for Fairhope," Pulitzer said. "There is unbelievable talent here. People don't know what a beautiful gem Fairhope is."
Pulitzer first visited Fairhope in 1999 with his wife, Kourtney, who spent summers there with her family. "I remember telling my wife then that it was one of the most beautiful towns I had ever seen," he said.
The couple and their 2 children plan to move to Fairhope by summer, he said.
Construction of the 3-story hotel should start this summer and be finished in mid-2012, said Bernhardt, who is Kourtney Pulitzer's uncle.
The hotel will be built in front of Founders Square, a 4-unit townhome development built by Bernhardt 3 years ago. All but one of those 2,500-square-foot, 3-bedroom units has sold.
Phillip Owens design to feature Southern coastal charm

The hotel will feature a Southern coastal charm design that will blend with Founders Square and other structures built by the early founding fathers of Fairhope, Bernhardt said. Phillip Owens of Coast Architects in Spanish Fort is designing the hotel.
Financing for the project is in place, said Bernhardt, who added, "our financing sources are highly motivated."
Commercial space on the hotel's first floor is for sale, with 2 of the 4 spaces already taken, he said. Fairhope staple Mary Ann's Deli has purchased one space, he said.
The remaining commercial sites are priced from $239,000 to $289,000. The partners also plan to offer 2 penthouse units for sale at $460,000 each; and 2 1-bedroom hotel suites at $249,000. "We understand the economic conditions today and priced these to sell," Bernhardt said.
Pulitzer's wife, who owns Kourtney Pulitzer Designs in Palm Beach, also plans to open her store at the hotel.
The hotel's Pulitzer library will also honor Mac Pulitzer's mother, Roxanne Pulitzer, a best-selling author whose works include "The Prize Pulitzer."
The Pulitzer family history
Married to publishing heir Herbert "Peter" Pulitzer Jr., their 1983 divorce grabbed headlines with its testimony of sex and drugs. It ended in Peter Pulitzer gaining custody of his sons, Mac and an identical twin, Zac.
He and his brother now own several businesses in Palm Beach.
Mac Pulitzer attended boarding school in Boca Raton, Fla., then studied agriculture at the University of Georgia. He said he was fortunate, while growing up, to be able to travel all over the world, including time spent at the family's Pulitzer Hotel in Amsterdam.
An avid diver who spends several months every year diving in the Bahamas, Pulitzer said he loves the outdoor lifestyle, especially hunting and fishing. And south Alabama offers both, he said. He has already gone wild pig hunting with local author Key, who lives in Point Clear.
Mac Pulitzer stands 6 feet, 5 inches tall and carries the prestigious name, but he's a lot more down-to-earth than most would think, Key said. The developer's plan to involve local authors in the Fairhope venture is a great thing, said Key, author of "Alabama Moon." That novel is the basis of a movie that premieres April 1 in Mobile and on the Eastern Shore.
"As much as they can do to include local writers and bookstores will help strengthen both their business and Fairhope's image as a literary go-to spot," Key said.
Pulitzer says he's used to people asking about his name and whether he's related to the family known for its literary prizes, which are among the most-recognized in the world. Past winners of the prize in literature include Joyce Carol Oates, John Updike, William Faulkner, Harper Lee and Tennessee Williams.
"There are no other Pulitzers," he said. "If you have the last name Pulitzer, it's the same family."

They might be as polarizing among moviegoers as a Terrence Malick film, but dine-in theaters are a growing trend across the country, like it or not -- and now New Orleans can boast of having one of the best. In fact, the city can boast of having the best, according to the Yahoo! Shine lifestyles blog.
The Theatres at Canal Place, which started serving gourmet fare in-theater in 2010 following a $4 million renovation, has been named the best dine-in theater in America by Yahoo! Shine in its recent rankings, released Monday (July 8). The rankings took into consideration such factors as dining amenities, menu variety, price and food quality.
Operated by the locally based Southern Theatres, the theater features a Mediterranean-informed menu from Chef Adolfo Garcia's Gusto Café & Bar, which was apparently a key factor in putting the multiplex -- located on the third floor of The Shops at Canal Place shopping mall -- over the top. Singled out for special attention by Yahoo! Shine was Garcia's upscale spin on an old theater favorite.
"The menu offers small plates served with flatbreads, like the Chef's Platter (Caponata Siciliana, marinated olives, hummus, tzatziki, and herbed ricotta)," Yahoo! Shine wrote in its review. "The chef also takes popcorn to another level, serving specialty popcorns like Parmigiano and black pepper popcorn, white truffle oil popcorn, and lemon and garlic popcorn."
Canal Place topped such noteworthy locations as the Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn, the Foreign Cinema in San Francisco -- and, yes, even Austin's revered Alamo Drafthouse.

Results tagged ' postseason roster '
Phillies Add Kendrick, Keep Brown, Dropps Dobbs
The Phillies announced their NLCS roster.
They added Kyle Kendrick as the 11th pitcher, kept Domonic Brown and dropped Greg Dobbs.
"It's great," Brown said, who went 0 for 1 and scored a run in the NLDS. "I wasn't sure if I was going to be on the roster, but it has turned into another great experience for me."
Ruben Amaro Jr. said manager Charlie Manuel made the final decision. He said Manuel felt Brown "would bring a little bit more to the table. It was a tough decision. Charlie ultimately felt like it was the right thing for us to do."
Brown hit .210 (13 for 62) with three doubles, two home runs and 13 RBIs during the regular season. Dobbs hit .198 (32 for 163) with seven doubles, five home runs and 15 RBIs. Manuel said Brown's and Dobbs' offense was equal. He said Brown's speed was an advantage over Dobbs, although he said Dobbs' experience and ability to play the infield were important.
Not important enough.
"I thought that maybe my postseason experience and how well I've done in the postseason might play a role in it," Dobbs said. "Being an older veteran, more experienced, more versatile, I thought that would play in my favor. Obviously, it did not."
The NLDS Roster
The Phillies just announced their NLDS roster.
Greg Dobbs, Domonic Brown and Antonio Bastardo are ON. Kyle Kendrick, Danys Baez and David Herndon are OUT.
Here is how it looks:
- Pitchers (10): Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels, Joe Blanton, Brad Lidge, Ryan Madson, Jose Contreras, J.C. Romero, Chad Durbin and Bastardo.
- Catchers (2): Carlos Ruiz and Brian Schneider.
- Infielders (7): Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Placido Polanco, Wilson Valdez, Mike Sweeney and Dobbs.
- Outfielders (5): Raul Ibanez, Shane Victorino, Jayson Werth, Ben Francisco, Ross Gload and Brown.
The Phillies obviously feel with Halladay, Hamels and Oswalt they do not need 11 pitchers, which cost Kendrick a spot. Dobbs could provide insurance should something happen to Rollins, who missed most of September with an injured hamstring. If Valdez had to play, the Phillies would have nobody to backup Polanco or even Utley.

Park Is Hurt, Bullpen Is Hurting
Chan Ho Park said he felt a pop in his right hamstring last night at Citizens Bank Park, which does not sound good.
Park is 3-3 with a 4.43 ERA in 45 appearances, but those who have paid close attention know he has been much better than that since he moved to the bullpen in May. He is 2-2 with a 2.52 ERA in 38 relief appearances, and 2-2 with a 1.84 ERA in his last 34 relief appearances. He has been incredibly valuable, not only because he gets hitters out, but because he pitches multiple innings.
Park went on the DL with the Rangers on April 4, 2002 because of a right hamstring injury and did not return until May 12. The Phillies certainly hope Park's current injury is less severe, especially because the bullpen is ailing with the postseason less than a month away.
They are without J.C. Romero and Scott Eyre, their top two lefthanders. Clay Condrey is coming back from an oblique injury that cost him a couple months, so it remains to be seen how effective he can be. Brad Lidge is still struggling. If Park is lost for an extended period of time, the Phillies will have some tough decisions to make next month when they put together their NLDS roster.
The Phillies carried 11 pitchers last year in the postseason: Cole Hamels, Brett Myers, Jamie Moyer, Joe Blanton, Lidge, Romero, Ryan Madson, Chad Durbin, Condrey, Eyre and J.A. Happ. They carried two catchers, six infielders and six outfielders. But unlike last year there is not an obvious extra bench player to take like So Taguchi. Combine that with bullpen issues and the Phillies might take 12 pitchers.
Cliff Lee, Hamels, Blanton, Pedro Martinez, Happ, Lidge, Madson, Myers and Tyler Walker should be on the roster, if they are healthy. That would leave three spots for a group that includes Condrey, Durbin, Eyre, Moyer, Park, Romero and Jack Taschner.
The Phillies have 18 games to play before they need to put together a postseason roster, so there is time for these things to settle. But losing Park for more than 18 days would be a blow to a bullpen that needs him.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Columbus woman who has been in prison for possessing almost five pounds of cocaine will be free soon, after an appellate court ruled that officers improperly stopped and searched her car.
Medina County Prosecutor Dean Holman said his office will dismiss the case against Isha Harper, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for what officers seized during a traffic stop on Interstate 71.
"Without the evidence, we don't have a charge,'' Holman said. "I have no choice but to dismiss this case. It's unfortunate because this lady was transporting two kilos of cocaine. I'm not criticizing the court of appeals, but that's the only choice we have.''
The move comes days after the Ohio Ninth District Court of Appeals ruled that the cocaine seized during the traffic stop of Harper, 33, must be thrown out as evidence because of constitutional errors made during the stop and inventory of the car she was driving.
Harper, who has served about 18 months at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville, should be released within a matter of days.
In its decision, the appellate court attacked the stop and the search by officers of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and an inventory process that allows them to search a vehicle without a warrant. The stop and search came shortly after a trooper gained a tip that Harper would be traveling through Medina County with drugs.
A three-judge panel wrote that Trooper Christopher Ausse "lacked reasonable, articulable suspicion" to stop Harper's car. The panel said the cocaine should not have been admitted in her trial in Medina County Common Pleas Court in June 2012.
The panel wrote that Ausse stopped Harper's car about 8 p.m. Oct. 19, 2011, for following a tractor-trailer too closely as it headed northbound on I-71, near Seville. After stopping the car, Ausse spoke with Harper and learned that she was headed to East Cleveland to pay court costs in another case.
The trooper also learned that Harper had an unrelated outstanding warrant out of Ashland County. He placed her under arrest and called for a tow truck to take her car to an impound lot. Prior to the truck's arrival, Ausse and other officers, who showed up shortly after the stop, did an inventory of the car and found the cocaine.
She was later indicted on drug possession. Her attorney at the time, Edward LaRue, questioned Ausse's stop and the search.
Medina County Common Pleas Judge James Kimbler ruled that the officer stopped Harper's car properly. He said she was following too closely to a truck and nearly cut off another vehicle while changing lanes. Kimbler also said the trooper correctly followed the patrol's policy of performing an inventory of the vehicle.
"Since his department has a written inventory search policy and since he followed that policy in searching her vehicle after he arrested her, the evidence obtained during the search is not subject to suppression,'' Kimbler wrote.
Following the conviction, Harper's attorney on the appeal, Philip Korey, again brought up Ausse's stop and the search.
The appellate panel reviewed the evidence and Ausse's work. Ausse testified in court that a driver should keep at least one car length for every 10 miles an hour between it and other vehicles. But the appellate court said that Ausse never testified as to how fast Harper was driving. The court said that would "directly affect the number of car lengths recommended for maintaining a safe distance between moving vehicles.''
"In the absence of this critical piece of evidence, it is difficult for the trial court, or this court on review, to fairly determine whether Trooper Ausse had a reasonable suspicion that the violation of following too closely occurred,'' the appellate court wrote in its ruling.
The appellate court also cited the trooper's dash-cam video of the stop. The judges found that the video contradicted the testimony of the trooper, who said Harper had pulled in front of another vehicle when she switched lanes.
"It is clear that Ms. Harper did not pull out in front of any vehicles when changing lanes from far-right to center,'' the appeals court wrote. "In fact, other than the trooper's police cruiser, there were no other vehicles visible in the center lane of traffic.''
The judges said based upon a lack of evidence regarding Harper's speed and the dash-cam video that contradicts the trooper's testimony, "we cannot say that the trial court's findings of fact with regard to the validity of the stop were supported by competent, credible evidence. As such, we conclude that Trooper Ausse did not have a reasonable, articulable suspicion to stop Ms. Harper's car.''
The appeals court also questioned Ausse's inventory of the car. He testified that the purpose of it was to account for everything inside the car, including something as insignificant as a pack of cigarettes, in order to create a record for the parties involved. But the court wrote that the officer failed to include on the form Harper's black duffel bag filled with clothes.
The trooper said that the bag wasn't pertinent and did not contain any contraband. The judges also wrote that it appeared that once the cocaine was found, the officers stopped the inventory process. The court said that goes against the patrol's policy of continuing to jot down the items inside the car until the process is completed.
The appellate panel called the inventory in Harper's case "disingenuous and a pretext for a warrantless search.'' The court also noted that shortly before the stop, Ausse received a tip to be on the lookout for a "black, small, four-door car traveling northbound.'' The appellate judges said the tip notified officers that Harper could be driving through the county, and she could be "involved in drug activity."
"The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unreasonable government seizures,'' said Korey, Harper's attorney. "In this country, the police must follow the law in obtaining evidence. Without this protection, we would be living in a police state.''
A spokeswoman for the state patrol could not be reached.

GROSSE POINTE, MI – When Rick Santorum was going door-to-door in Pennsylvania in his 1990 congressional campaign, an old lady's dog urinated on his lap.
Santorum used the anecdote of the embarrassing animal encounter to grab the attention of a crowd of students at Grosse Pointe South High School on Wednesday in a speech about leadership and perseverance.
He continued knocking on doors that day despite the wet lap, and came to the home of famous Pittsburgh Pirates baseball player Kent Tekulve. When the pitcher opened the door and looked down at his stained pants, Santorum said "Mr. Tekulve, I'm so excited to meet you."
"I got his vote and I won that election," Santorum said, telling the students to fight through disasters when they inevitably come.
"You can turn them around if you persevere. You have no idea what good things can come… I was off the radar screen completely and we ended up winning that race. We were able to overcome odds over and over again."
The Santorum appearance, organized by a conservative student group that raised $18,000 to bring the former senator to their school, was at one point cancelled by school district administrators concerned over a potentially polarizing political speech.
They ultimately approved the event with assurances that Santorum would stick to leadership advice. Parental permission slips were required for students to attend the speech.
Santorum didn't steer entirely clear of politics. He talked at length about welfare reform, which the former senator successfully championed in the 1990s.
"I don't see poverty as a disability," he said. "Never did. I saw poverty as a condition, as a condition that can be overcome."
He said incentives for seeking work rather than continuous government support are key to reducing poverty levels.
"When you create a system where it's easier and more profitable not to work, then don't be surprised if they don't work," he said. "… Sometimes, we have to respect people enough to make them do things that are right for them to do, but they do not really want to do. And it's understandable. Particularly if they're in poverty."
A group of ninth graders after the speech talked about being glad school officials allowed the appearance, even if they didn't agree with everything Santorum said.
"I don't totally agree with him, but just to hear that side of the story, I like to hear other perspectives," said ninth-grader Jessica Alexander,15.
"I didn't like the way he talked about poverty," said Leah Manion, 15.
"He had some good advice, but he was a little biased," said Bianca Garcia, 15.
Jennine Gant, whose son was part of the group that brought the former presidential candidate to the school, said she expects Santorum's appearance to help students develop opinions and start to think about involvement civics.
"In the end, it was about leadership," Gant said. "I didn't find anything he said to be overtly offensive."

Fine violins are musician David Bromberg's passion.
In fact, his captivation with them has led to the opening of his own store on North Market Street in Wilmington, Del.
"It's kind of an art, identifying violins," said Bromberg from his shop. "Violins aren't always what they claim to be. You have to know the knife strokes, the materials ... basically, everything.
"I wanted to learn quickly. I handled a lot of violins in a short time," he said.
Yes. This is the same David Bromberg — known for his extraordinary guitar picking and musical range — that has played on more than 100 albums for legendary artists such as Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, The Eagles, Carly Simon, Willie Nelson and Ringo Starr.
In 1980, after years of success with his band, he decided he needed a break from the music business. But he didn't want to leave music behind completely.
"When I stopped performing — because I was a bit burnt out — I realized I didn't want to be one of those guys who gets on stage to do a bitter imitation of themselves," he said. "So, instead, I went to violin-making school with a focus on identifying violins."
Captivated by violins for as long as he can remember, at the Kenneth Warren School of Violin Making in Chicago, Bromberg got the education he needed.
In 2002, Bromberg and his wife moved to Wilmington, where he opened a retail store and repair shop for fine instruments.
Today, Bromberg is still an important part of the concert scene — he's performing at the Landis Theater in Vineland Friday at 8 p.m. — playing at jam sessions in Wilmington as well as performing at many other shows with his band, The David Bromberg Quartet — or in this case, quintet.
"It's a quintet now. We've kind of expanded," he said. "We've added a drummer."
He doesn't take requests, he said, but not to worry, that's what keeps it fun.
"I don't plan my sets. I don't know what I'll be playing. It's more interesting that way," he said with a laugh.
Born in Philadelphia, and raised in New York, Bromberg points to many musicians as his inspirations growing up.
"I've got lots of them ... the staples Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Pete Seeger," to name a few.
And after all these years performing live, Bromberg is still thrilled to see his fans cheering him on.
"I'm pleased I still have an audience that will come to see me," he said.
