Last weekend ,we bribed promised the boys that they would get a small Lego toy if they got their hair cut. Hey…whatever works people alright! My boys hate getting their hair cut so we used the currency that they respond to.
So off we went to Big W and walked towards the toy department.
In the Lego aisle there was a beautiful little sandy-haired boy who I guess was about 6 or 7. His father was shadowing him closely and they were looking intently at the Star Wars Lego together.
I recognised a lot of the dialogue from The Phantom Menace being scripted by the boy (yes….I am surrounded by it – some of it is BOUND to sink in!) and I watched as he pulled all the boxes to the front of the shelves and started to re-arrange them in size order. My ASD radar was well-and-truly dinging at this stage but I shrugged and turned my attention back to my boys. However, the knowing look that Mr Patient and I exchanged said it all
Harley was on the verge of a meltdown and was showing some very early indicators that we were on a time limit. He was rocking back and forth on his heels and his arms were stiff by his side and his face was contorted into a puzzled frown. It was still early enough to get him out in time but we had to make the transition as smooth as possible.
I narrowed down the selection by pulling 2 boxes down from the shelves in the price bracket that we had already pre-determined and told him that he needed to pick one of the two I was offering. I have learnt that he copes better when a huge chunk of the decision process is done for him and I knew that now wasn't the time to overwhelm him with choice.
He selected one and started to visibly relax. Lucas grabbed the other one and we headed for the front of the store so we could go and pay for the Lego.
Behind us I heard what sounded like chanting but on closer listening I realised that it was the same phrase being repeated over and over again at a rapidly rising volume. It was the little sandy headed boy saying: "I want this pod- racer, I want this pod-racer, I want this pod-racer" and he was flapping his arms furiously.
His father (bless him) got down to his son's level BESIDE him not in front of him and gently whispered something into his ear while stroking the boy's forearm firmly. The boy started jumping up and down on the spot and flailing his arms everywhere and screaming bloody murder.
The Dad realised that it had escalated so he took his little boy by the hand and started to gently walk him to a quiet corner but the boy wasn't having a bar of it so the Dad decided to leave the store altogether. He wrapped his own coat tightly around the boy for security and walked past us and I overheard him saying gently: "Shhh, it's ok, Daddy's here." And I wanted to hug this man.
By this point, I knew that my instincts about the boy were spot on because this Father looked like he had dealt with this many times before and there wasn't a hint of anger or disappointment in his voice at all. He just wanted to remove his boy from what was overwhelming him.
Mr Patient looked at me and we both had tears in our eyes. We had both been exactly there on so many occasions in the past and seeing it played out in front of us was surreal.
As the father finally made it to the front of the store and proceeded to exit – his boy was now jumping and thrashing and clearly not coping but still chanting: ""I want this pod- racer, I want this pod-racer, I want this pod-racer". My heart went out to them both but my compassion quickly turned to anger as I overheard a group of onlookers openly speak their uneducated opinions out loud.
"What a Sh*t of a kid / he needs a good thumping / OMG how funny – did you see that tanty that kid was chucking/ guess who Santa isn't coming to/ If that we MY kid blah, blah, blah" ….Yeah well, it ain't your kid so shut up!
They went on and on and on…..
I didn't realise that I was stepping forward to say something until my husband put his hand on my shoulder and firmly pulled me back saying "No….stay out of this one Fi, this isn't your battle".
But man was I furious.
And I guess that this is another part of the reason that I blog about my family and our trials.
I know that there is a lot of misunderstanding out there about autism and what it is and exactly how it presents but instead of sitting back and moaning that "no-one gets it" I decided that I was going to splash our life with ASD all over the interwebs in the hope of contributing my little piece in creating more awareness. And from a new comment that I received today on yesterday's post I can see that a helluva lot more needs to be done in raising awareness for this widely misunderstood but rapidly increasing conundrum that is autism.
I wrote yesterday about autistic obsessions or "special interests" if you will and how they can escalate into something that can easily get out of control and I was slugged with this comment:
** You're the parent who buys all the Ben 10 merchandise, who allowed him to watch the programme to the point of obsession so what do you expect? Censorship is not only for teenagers and R rated movies. It is for littlies also. I know a modern, educated mother who was so proud that her daughter's first word was "Elmo"??????? I can't walk in your shoes but I can see the big picture from afar. |
** So I replied with: I'm guessing that you don't live with autism or have any idea about perseverations? Because clearly by your comment, you have no idea. |
The thing is: Harley has never watched a single episode of Ben 10 and most of the Ben 10 merchandise that he owns was given to him.
His obsession started because a boy in his class liked Ben 10 and Harley wanting to be accepted (and most kids with autism are mimics) decided that to be "cool" and "popular" that he'd better like Ben 10 too so he took it upon himself to "research" Ben 10 by asking 1001 questions.
Harley would suck this information in like a sponge and be able to recite it whenever he needed to but he lacked the social understanding to recognise when he was in overkill so the off switch appeared to be broken in him.
If this commenter had bothered to read anymore of my posts and discovered more about this family and they way that we operate, or tried to gain a better understanding of perseverations and special interests in autistic kids, she'd know that her comment was way off the mark. She found me by typing Ben10 into a search engine (I discovered that in my stats) and obviously thought she needed to set me straight!
But what she didn't know is that parents cannot control what their child develops an interest in. I have adult aspie friends who tell me that they don't always choose what will become their next obsession and Tony Attwood who is a renowned world expert in Aspergers teaches that if you remove a special interest (SI) from a child – they will only seek it out more. The trick is to use the SI to help guide the child in the direction that is desired.
Allow the child a certain time frame to indulge in this interest as a reward for completing a task or weave it into their learning so it works for you instead of against you.
ie: Harley: what is 5 aliens + 7 aliens ?
It's SO much more interesting for him to learn that way an far more effective!
This has actually been a week of discovering new and exciting things about myself though. It's been a personal growth week in that realising that if I had have received a comment like that 2 years ago I would've fallen apart. It would have destroyed me and I would've been out for days. But now – it's actually spurring me on to spread more and more awareness about autism because with every new day, It's becoming increasingly apparent to me that my boys will have to go out into the big bad world one day and it's not only my job to prepare them for it - but to prepare the world for them.

Her current research in Vietnam and among Vietnamese Americans focuses on understanding historical and contemporary cultural interpretations of wife battering, its emotional and physical health consequences, and the cultural and social forces that influence this form of violence in local communities. Her research also involves analyzing responses to the violence at a number of different levels, including individual, family, state, and international.
Kwiatkowski has also conducted research in the Philippines, which examined ways that hunger is influenced by gender inequality, international women in development programs, international and local health programs, religious proselytization, political violence, and the state.

Who's in, who's out of NFL TV coverage
As NFL broadcasters were breaking training camp — after sweating through gallons of TV pancake makeup — rosters were being finalized Tuesday.
CBS said its coverage would include Neal ElAttrache, an orthopedic surgeon who operated on Tom Brady in 2008, as a medical analyst. And ESPN, spokesman Bill Hofheimer said, will announce today that ex-NFL player Brian Dawkins will be added as an analyst on studio shows.
CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said the idea was not for ElAttrache, the Los Angeles Dodgers' team physician, to opine on long-term injury issues. CBS won't restrict him from that, McManus said, but the surgeon — who'll appear from Los Angeles rather than being in the New York studio — will talk on an as-needed basis about recovery time.
Besides Dawkins, ESPN will make other changes. Chris Berman's Sunday highlight voice-overs on Monday Night Football halftimes will move to the late Sunday SportsCenter. In its place Monday will be an NFL Films-produced Soundtracks feature focusing on in-game audio from Sunday games.
What else is on tap so you can prep for TV football fantasy league drafts:
•Fox: Michael Strahan will try to pull the biggest two-step since Deion Sanders shuffled between playing football and baseball. Except Strahan, staying on the Fox NFL Sunday studio show, will have to tackle cooking segments as Regis Philbin's replacement on ABC's weekday Live! with Kelly Ripa.
But it'll be no problem. Fox's studio show — also adding comedian Rob Riggle to replace Frank Caliendo— is meant to be showbiz with a football flavor. As long as Strahan doesn't freeze when he's supposed to make jokes about Terry Bradshaw or, say, talk about Tim Tebow.
Also, Fox telestrators during games now will include Player Pointer graphics identifying players being highlighted. And ex-NFL coach Mike Martz and ex-NFL player Heath Evans have become game analysts, replacing Jim L. Mora and Chad Pennington.
Erin Andrews, at Fox from ESPN, is hosting Fox's college football but becomes an NFL sideline reporter starting on Thanksgiving. Until then, she'll do taped NFL pregame features, starting with a sit-down Sunday with the Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers.
•ESPN: It doubles down on MNF analyst Jon Gruden, as the former and possibly future NFL coach gets a two-man booth with Mike Tirico.
Former MNF sidekick Ron Jaworski joins various studio shows.
New studio analysts include ex-players Matt Light and Jason Taylor and ex-front office exec Bill Polian. Analysts Kordell Stewart and Jon Ritchie exit.
And Bill Parcells will not often appear on the Sunday pregame shows.
Then there's this Twitter eruption-in-waiting: Berman calls his first live regular-season NFL game action. Because MNF opens with a doubleheader, ESPN annually comes up with a creative on-air team for the second game, which this year is San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders at 10:15 p.m. ET. Berman will call it with Trent Dilfer. To prep, Berman called exhibition action, and the Earth remained on its axis. But Mayans, or at least some in the blogosphere, predict earth-shaking cataclysms when Berman does a real game.
•NBC: Ex-NFL player Hines Ward becomes a Sunday night pregame analyst at game sites and occasionally in the New York studio.
•NFL Network: Of course, it's so obvious once you hear it. Rather than just tuning into NFL Network's four-hour Sunday pregame show cold, you need a two-hour pre-pregame show to warm up. That's finally here as NFL Network adds Firston the Field at 7 a.m. ET. Eventually, Sunday pregame shows will start in the offseason.
•CBS: The network largely stands pat, although reporter Jason La Canfora, replacing Charley Casserly, takes on the unenviable job of trying to break news tidbits on the pregame show after everybody has chewed on the NFL all week. Breathlessness required.

The commute of Mumbai citizens is expected to get a little better in the current financial year with the announcement of additional services and safety measures in the Rail Budget. The commute of Mumbai citizens is expected to get a little better in the current financial year with the announcement of additional services and safety measures in the Rail Budget. Rail Minister PK Bansal today announced 72 additional services for Mumbai's suburban network. He also announced introduction of long pending AC and Electronic Multiple Unit (EMU) rakes on the suburban train network of the city. This will allow Mumbai commuters to travel in air-conditioned coaches in 2013-14 itself. Mumbai suburban railway network carries millions of passengers and is often considered as the lifeline of the commercial capital of the nation. However Mumbai commuters often complain about need for launching new services considering the ever increasing passengers in trains during office hours. Though Railway Budget might please Mumbai commuters, it has let down the market and industry. Rail Minister preferred to play it safe, before the general elections, due next year. The ministers kept passenger fares unchanged despite railway facing huge losses. Although, Railways had increased passenger fares in January following a hike in diesel prices, it's not likely to suffice. Railway is expected to get an additional burden of Rs 3,300 crores due to rise in fuel prices. In a bid to offset the impact of recent diesel price hike on railway's revenues, a dynamic fuel adjustment component will be introduced on freight rates from April 1, which will result in less than five per cent increase in rates. Bansal expects this will help freight earning to grow by 9 percent to Rs 93,554 crore. Related News

Allrighty. Enough silence, back to what I do best.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I loved "Men in Black" and "Men in Black 2″. They both have the elements of classic summertime popcorn flicks. They have a lot of laughs, a lot of special effects and explosions, some solid talent and decent action. Mix in this whole pseudo universe they've created, one where aliens are common and well varied and there's a top secret government agency out there to police them? Well, it just plays straight to a science fiction nerd's heart.
Over the years, I have in fact thought to myself, "I wish there was another Men in Black movie out there". Not because I thought that there was a particular story that needed to be told, but simply because they're fun and Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith make me laugh. And honestly, isn't that exactly what movies are supposed to be for? So when "Men in Black 3″ came out of nowhere, I was pretty surprised. Granted, I've slipped away from the movie news scene a bit, but I'd never even heard that this movie was being considered. As you can understand though, once I did hear about it, I was pretty damn excited. Here we are a week or two after release, I'm sitting in the theater when that familiar Danny Elfman theme starts to spin up and I start to feel a bit giddy as I get ready to visit some old friends I haven't seen for awhile.
The trailers for "MIB3″ don't leave much to the imagination. The pretty much outline everything for you right up front. Yes, this is annoying, but I was still prepared for some fun. We kick off the film with Nicole Sherzinger in a pair of pretty amazing thigh high leather boots coming to visit "Boris the Animal" in jail. It's a super high tech jail, so it's pretty obvious that it's a "MIB" unit, so we know we're getting right in to the nitty gritty as far as our film's bad guy goes. With this being the third film in the franchise, we're ready for this. This is how they all start out. Our big bad for this film is played by Jemaine Clement from "Flight of the Conchords" to a bit of success. In comparison to past villains, he's not much standing next to Vincent D'Onafrio in a dead Edgar suit. He's suitable though. He's big and ugly and has some pretty gross alien features, so he fits mold. After learning that K has done Boris a great injustice in brief monologue, chaos ensues, Boris is on the loose and away we go. Bad guys vow to travel through time to nefarious ends, good guys vow to follow to thwart plans and *bam*, there's your movie.
When I spell it out as such, "Men in Black 3″ sounds like it could be problematic. Pretty basic and rote. In truth, it is, but again it's propped up be fun performances and some crazy action scenes. Will Smith has a certain schtick that he goes for in his role as J. It's a tiny bit Fresh Prince, a whole lot of "Independence Day" "Welcome to ERF" swagger and a bit of some new stuff to round out the character. He's got lots of zany facial expressions a even more quips, but that's what I paid for. Tommy Lee Jones has limited play here. He's got his gruff persona down pat; hell he's made a career out of it. That's what we love him for. The real star of "Men in Black 3″ is Josh Brolin as the young Tommy Lee Jones. This cat's uncanny!
Josh Brolin has had a weird career you could say. He was great in "Goonies" and then was kind of quiet for years. (At least to me anyways, maybe I just wasn't watching his flicks.) Then he blasted back in to prominence in "Grind House". When he returned, he had a particular brand of cool that was akin to his father's and started to dive in to a lot of genre flicks. Here, his aping of Tommy Lee Jones is pretty astounding. He's got the cadence of his voice, the gruff deliver, even the steely eyes. It's seeing this performance of a young Agent K that makes this movie pretty damn fun. It's also fun to see a lot of the past years of "MIB" and such in the typical franchise fashion of what culturally prominent people were aliens, which were aliens, etc. but they could have done even more to be honest.
Yes, it's popular to hate on time travel plots. They're pretty cheesy and typically ham-fisted and typically do nothing but create plot holes and present themselves as a glaring MacGuffin. For "MIB3″, it's a thin time travel plot, let's face it. But, it's pretty straight forward. They don't pull any zany plot twists that involve people popping up out of nowhere, there's no weird space time continuum confusion that makes your head hurt to figure out. It's simply Agent J going back to 1969 to stop a bad guy who went back to 1969 to murder Agent K. Easy peasey, just like the trailer spell out for us. With them keeping the time travel conundrums at a minimum, this leaves us to focus on the laughs and Will Smith making faces and keeps things light and entertaining.
Is "MIB3″ perfect? Nope. There are many scenes that come across as awkward pauses in the general flow of the film. The camera tends to linger a bit too long on these moments leaving us wondering what we're supposed to be catching in the background. (There typically wasn't anything going on in the back ground in these moments.) It's a lot of fun though. My family and I laughed pretty hard and enjoyed the 3D antics. It felt great to see Smith and Jones working together again and Brolin made a great addition to the mix. Ultimately, this movie left me with a good dose of closure for the franchise, so that I could walk away and feel that the whole package is nice and complete. I'll look forward to the eventual Bluray box set and watch them periodically, with gusto!

ISC, NIC Chile and LACNIC Partner to Improve DNS Service in Chile
Redwood City, CA --
Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) , NIC Chile and LACNIC have installed a new root server in Santiago de Chile, Chile
Joao Damas, F-root Programme Manager, stated "We are happy to be installing a new F-root node in this region of the world. This will provide enhanced an d more dependable DNS service to the Internet in the region as well as globally. This is our first deployment within the framework of LACNIC's + Raices project and we are glad to be on the way to enhancing the DNS service throughout Latin America."

Virtually every Internet transaction, from sending an email to finding a website, begins with a Domain Name System (DNS) query. A DNS query is the method computers use to translate a human readable name, such as www.isc.org, to a network address th at a computer can find. This new F-root server will store the information needed to answer the question of where several hundred top-level domains, including '.cl', '.net' or '.com', can be found.
Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3), public benefit corporation with a long history of developing and maintaining the production quality Open Source software -- BIND and DHCP. ISC has increased its focus to include enhancing the stability of the global DNS directly through reliable F-root name server operations and ongoing operation of a DNS crisis coordination center, ISC's OARC for DNS. ISC is also engaged with further protocol development efforts, part icularly in the areas of DNS evolution and facilitating the transition to IPv6. ISC is supported by the donations of generous sponsors, program membership fees and specific fees for servic es. For program or donation information, please visit our website at http://www.isc.org

I wanted to share a photo I made last evening near the conclusion of the wonderful sunset that performed for us. I hope everyone found some time to watch the show because it was special. There was a bunch going on with the fantastic light and the clouds and the fog that developed. I wanted to capture a little of all of it. Not sure if I did it justice but I tried. Nothing much better than a beautiful sunset to end the day. I wish I could add a soundtrack of applause at the end because this sunset deserved a standing ovation.

En este portal encontrarás una amplia oferta de recursos on-line, actividades presenciales y proyectos, dirigidos a todos aquellos que forman parte de la comunidad educativa (profesores, alumnos de 3 a 18 años y asociaciones de madres y padres), con contenidos que responden a las áreas de actuación de la Obra Social (ciencia, cultura y temas sociales).
The digital-earth.eu project examines the use of geographic media in schools and teacher education.
Geo-media is the visualisation of information from different media sources and is concerned with digital content and its processing based on place, position and location. Many geographic media are widely used for navigation and routing purposes. Cartographic communication has never been so easy to implement, therefore 21st century school education needs to include geo-media into daily work. Innovative approaches to teaching and learning are needed to study environments from local to global scale.
The digital-earth.eu network links innovative centres around Europe where geo-media use is well developed. Products, resources, experiences and ideas are shared between the centres and opened to the public wherever possible.
A digital-earth.eu infrastructure is under development. The European Centre and an accredited network of national and regional Centres of Excellence are developing an online catalogue of materials, courses, publications, links and good practice scenarios, and are publishing a series of core publications.
The digital-earth.eu network project is a Comenius Multilateral Network (2010-2013). It complements the activities of two previous Comenius Multilateral Projects (GISAS and iGuess) that used specific GIS software and produced teaching materials for schools and training courses for teachers.
The digital-earth.eu network seeks to provide broad access to resources (Europe-wide and international), promoting innovation and best practice in the implementation of geo-media as a digital learning environment for school learning and teaching. The goal is to raise the profile of learning with digital geo-media. The network encourages the sharing of innovative practices and rewards organisations and individuals displaying 'excellence'.
ePractice Digital Literacy Workshop on Digital Competences for Social Inclusion Actors and Intermediaries
This report reflects the presentations, discussions and conclusions on a "Digital Competences for Social Inclusion Actors and Intermediaries" workshop organised in the context of ePractice Digital Literacy community (Brussels, 12 October 2010). The purpose of this workshop was to identify good practices and success criteria regarding ICT-enabled training, resources, and tools for developing digital competences for intermediaries and social actors (professionals, volunteers, carers, actors in general from the Public and Third Sectors) to support them on their job on providing assistance to groups at risk of exclusion and on fostering their digital, social inclusion and economic participation. As a result, six policy options for the development of digital competences for intermediaries were identified and debated by participants.

Santa Barbara uni with braised oxtail and congee at Le Ka.
Le Ka could have been built as a set. It could be a backdrop for the meet-cute moment in the crappy romantic comedies we all wish Ryan Gosling still made, a perfect location for the Real Housewives to stage a fight, a platonic ideal of "exciting new downtown hot spot." What's actually exciting about Le Ka, though, is the chef. Remi Lauvand has a fantastic culinary history, starting on the Orient Express. The French native then went to New York, where he eventually worked under Daniel Boulud as executive sous chef at Le Cirque in the late '80s. Read the full review of Le Ka here.

Silicon Valley firm to move to DetroitLinkner, Gilbert lure Stik.com, a Facebook platform for recommendations on professional services
Not so long ago, this would have seemed like a hopeless fantasy, or someone's idea of a cruel prank on a poor city in the Midwest. "This" being, well, let's imagine a paragraph: "San Francisco social media company that has already gotten attention and money from Silicon Valley venture capitalists decides to move to Detroit." Today, not only is it a possibility, it's happening. Look for the official word to come out in a day or two. The company is Stik.com, a company that uses the Facebook platform to let people get recommendations from their friends on such professionals as Realtors, veterinarians, doctors, lawyers, financial planners and the like. Fueling the move to downtown Detroit, in part, is a new round of investment capital from, among others, Detroit Venture Partners, managed by Josh Linkner of ePrize fame, and Ann Arbor-based North Coast Technology Investors LP. Fueling it, too, is that company founders Jay Gierak and Nathan Labenz, who met shortly before they enrolled at Harvard, reportedly have Michigan roots and wanted to come back here. And with all the boom in tech downtown, the timing was right. More to follow when the word is official. |

However court rules, gay marriage debate won't end
By DAVID CRARY
NEW YORK (AP) - However the Supreme Court rules on same-sex marriage, the issue seems certain to divide Americans and the states for years to come.
After considering two cases involving gay couples' rights this week, the justices left open multiple options for rulings expected in June. But they signaled there was no prospect of imposing a 50-state solution at this stage.
With nine states allowing same-sex marriages and other states banning them, that means a longer spell with a patchwork marriage-rights map - and no early end to bruising battles in the courts, legislatures and at the ballot box.
Opponents of same-sex marriage seem resigned to a divided nation where the debate will continue to splinter families, communities, churches.
Supporters of same-sex marriage believe a nationwide victory is inevitable, though perhaps not imminent.
Republicans Supporting Gay Marriage Write Supreme Court Amicus Brief
One of the signers confirmed for ABC News the existence of the brief signed by the Republicans and said it would be submitted to the United States Supreme Court this week. The deadline to submit briefs is Thursday.
The document, known as an amicus or "friend of the court" brief, is being submitted in support of a lawsuit aiming to strike down Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative that passed in 2008 banning same sex marriage. The existence of the brief was first reported by the New York Times.
Republican elected leadership, like House Speaker John Boehner, as well as the platform, are staunchly against same sex marriage.
The American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), the group who brought the California lawsuit challenging Prop 8, released a list of the signers today including Cheney's daughter Mary Cheney.
Signers included former congresswoman Mary Bono Mack of California, former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman and Meg Whitman, who supported Prop 8 when she ran for governor of California in 2010. Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, Richard Hanna of New York and former GOP national chairman Ken Mehlman also signed. In addition, three former Massachusetts governors -- William Weld, Jane Swift, and Paul Cellucci -- along with former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman are signers. The list also includes Republican attorney and Romney senior adviser Ben Ginsberg and other high profile GOP leaders, strategists, consultants, and staffers.
Some big name supporters of same sex marriage who have not signed the brief include former vice president Dick Cheney, former first lady Laura Bush, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
The fight against Prop 8 already had a big name conservative supporter in Theodore Olson, former solicitor general under President George W. Bush, who is one of the suit's two lead attorneys along with David Boies.
The court will hear arguments next month in the case and another important gay rights case that challenges the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act.
One of the signers is Nicolle Wallace, Republican strategist and former George W. Bush aide and John McCain campaign adviser. Wallace said the beginning of the group took place in 2010 when Republicans supportive of same sex marriage came together to fundraise for the legal effort. But even in 2004 during Bush's re-election campaign working alongside Mary Cheney everyone on the campaign was aware there were disagreeing opinions on the ticket.
"For a long time those of us who sort of have always been on the pro-gay marriage side were quietly aware of others who had this view, but what's tremendous now is I can't think of any issue that has moved with greater speed than this one," said Wallace, who is an ABC News contributor.
She said the "power of the legal argument had a lot more to do with persuading the majority of Republicans on the brief than any political pressure."
Wallace stressed that she believes this issue, unlike others, will not "ignite a civil war in the party" because so many people have gay friends, co-workers, and family members even those who don't agree with their stance have a lot of "respect" for the disagreement.
In the latest ABC News-Washington Post polll on the topic from November a slim majority of Americans support gay marriage 51-47 percent, but amongst Republicans it is only 31-67 percent.
One of the signers, former Utah governor and Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, Jr. voiced his support of same sex marriage last week, after opposing it during his presidential bid, in an article in the American Conservative titled "Marriage Equality Is a Conservative Cause."
"Conservatives should start to lead again and push their states to join the nine others that allow all their citizens to marry," Huntsman writes. "I've been married for 29 years. My marriage has been the greatest joy of my life. There is nothing conservative about denying other Americans the ability to forge that same relationship with the person they love. All Americans should be treated equally by the law, whether they marry in a church, another religious institution, or a town hall...Civil equality is compatible with, and indeed promotes, freedom of conscience."
Brian Donahue, a Republican strategist who did not sign the brief, believes that because the list includes so many prominent Republicans it represents a "significant step" for the party.
"It's a sign that there is a growing interest in the party to take steps to broaden its reach in defining what's acceptable to be part of this party," Donahue said. "It's healthy for members of the party to express their beliefs and opinions even when they may not be favorable by party leadership. It's healthy for the party to examine how it affects the lives of all Americans and it's a healthy discussion that's taking place within the party to say, 'What do we stand for?'"
Some Republicans fear the amicus brief could badly split the Republican Party. Hogan Gidley, a GOP strategist who has worked on the presidential campaigns of both Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, says the Republican tent should be "very broad," but this move by the group of Republicans will widen the schism in the party.
"I don't want Republicans to be lazy and say, well Latinos are flocking to Democrats in droves so we should do amnesty,'" Gidley said. "The homosexual community is flocking to Democrats in droves so we should legalize gay marriage. The marijuana advocates are flocking to Democrats in droves, we should legalize drugs. To me that is a little bit reactionary, but also a little bit lazy."
Gidley said that he would "hate for anybody to sell their convictions in the hopes they get more votes."
Constitutional law experts say that while amicus briefs do not traditionally decide cases, they can be very influential.
Stanford constitutional law professor Jane Schacter says in this case she believes it could be an "influential brief" because it "telegraphs to the court that there is an increasing number of people who support same sex marriage and that it is no longer a partisan issue to the extent that it was."
"When this number of Republicans are saying it's an issue where there should be equality it changes the way it looks to the justices," Schacter said.
Yale constitutional law professor William Eskridge agreed, but said he believes the brief will not affect "the final vote, the likely affect is the way the opinion looks. Not just the majority opinion, but the dissenting opinion as well."
"It discourages a barnburning hysterical dissent," Eskridge said, noting Chief Justice John Roberts is less likely to sign on to a "barnburning" dissent after this brief.
IL Latino leaders advocate for gay marriage
In an open letter to lawmakers Sunday, 23 Latino leaders say all families deserve to be treated with respect.
Among those signing the letter are former Chicago City Clerk Miguel Del Valle and Sylvia Puente, executive director of the Latino Policy Forum.
The Illinois Senate approved a bill earlier this month that would end the state's ban on same-sex marriage. A House committee is expected to consider it Tuesday.
If it passes the House Gov. Pat Quinn has said he will sign the legislation, making Illinois the 10th state where same-sex couples may marry.
Opponents say the proposal endangers religious freedom and diminishes the sanctity of marriage.
Gay marriage vote poses challenge for Illinois GOP
But Thursday's vote poses a challenge for Republicans.
After suffering big losses at the polls last fall, GOP leaders in Illinois and nationwide said the party needs to be more inclusive and diverse.
But after Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady publicly backed same sex marriage during January's lame-duck legislative session, members of the more conservative wing of his party called for his ouster. Opponents also pledged to fund primary challenges to any Republican who voted in favor of the bill.
The conflict comes as voters' feelings are shifting rapidly in favor of gay rights.
If the Senate approves the measure, it will move to the House.
UPDATE: Boy Scouts board meets amid talk of policy on gays
BSA announced last week it was considering allowing troops to decide whether to allow gay membership. That news has placed a spotlight on executive board meetings that began Monday in Irving, Texas, where scouting headquarters is located.
BSA spokesman Deron Smith said last week that the board could take a vote today or decide to discuss the policy, but the organization will issue a statement either way.
The board has remained silent otherwise.
Meanwhile, groups on all sides have organized to try to make their voices heard.

From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, I'm Motshabi Hoaeane.
Making headlines:
South African President Jacob Zuma proposes a new land plan.
US President Barack Obama becomes aggressive in the final foreign policy debate with challenger Mitt Romney.
And, Uganda may stop mediating in the Congo over accusations by the United Nations.
President Jacob Zuma proposed a new land reform plan in Pretoria on Monday evening. He told the first annual general meeting of the African Farmers' Association of South Africa that the plan is an innovative proposal that needs testing.
The plan proposed a district-based approach to land reform and it's financing.It proposes that each district should establish a district land reform committee where all stakeholders are involved. This committee will be responsible for identifying 20% of the commercial agricultural land in the district and giving commercial farmers the option of assisting its transfer to black farmers.
Implementation of this land reform proposal would include five steps. These steps would entail identifying land readily available from land already in the market; the state buying the land at 50% of its market value; commercial farmers being protected from losing their land and gaining black economic empowerment status; a stepped-up programme of financing would be created; and investment into agricultural research and development would be increased.
US President Barack Obama repeatedly attacked Republican challenger Mitt Romney on foreign policy on Monday in their third and final debate in an effort to blunt his opponent's surge in the polls with only two weeks left until Election Day.
The high-stakes debate strayed frequently into domestic policy, with Romney seeking to bolster his argument that Obama had bungled the US economic recovery with high unemployment and rising debt.
Neither man threw a knockout punch or made a noticeable gaffe in the 90-minute encounter at Lynn University in Boca Raton. However, Obama scored enough debating points to be declared the winner in the first surveys.
Uganda said on Monday it would stop mediating in the conflict between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the M23 rebels if the United Nations Security Council endorsed accusations that Uganda was supporting the rebels.
A report, written for the UN Security Council's Congo sanctions committee, said Uganda had allowed M23's political branch to operate from Kampala in addition to providing M23 with troops, weapons, technical help, political advice and facilitation of external relations.
Analysts say Uganda and Rwanda have maintained extensive commercial and military networks in Congo's mineral-rich east.
Junior foreign minister Asuman Kiyingi said that the allegations were undermining the perception of Uganda as a neutral mediator.
Also making headlines:
The South African Wind Energy Association says that financial closure on renewable projects is needed to maintain investor confidence.
Chancellor Angela Merkel says Germany could assist in a Mali training mission.
And, global wind energy capacity is expected to double over the next five years.
That's a roundup of news making headlines today.

How do u tell who sent a group message on an iPhone. I get the messages, but it just has a long list of people in my phone book. I just got one and I know who sent this one (by just the pics) but others I have no clue who sent it.
In the conversation, the sender's name should be above the individual message. Replies in the thread will go to all the individual addressees.
Earl F. Parrish
Ya that's what's weird, the name isn't above it alone at all. All I get is a list of everyone. My blackberry would have the name it was from, then below it was all the others.
I used to determine by whose name showed up amongst the numbers and if there were several friends I'd just assume who was most likely... I also just asked too, lol.
Originally Posted by efparri In the conversation, the sender's name should be above the individual message. It's not though. For a group message, instead of the sender's name or number, only a list of recipients is displayed. Definitely seems like an oversight not to identify the sender.

I just looked through my message list and all the group messages were sent by the first name in the list. What I want is a way to opt out of the discussion if I am not really going to be involved. While some are important: "I'm stuck can any of you pick up....?" others are like: "I'm going to Target what do we need?" It's really annoying having your text tone going off repeatedly for something you don't care about.
Your service provider may offer certain opt-out features. The iPhone just displays whatever messages are being pushed to it from the network. It has no way of knowing whether you deem the content of a particular message to be important or not.
I don't know if it matters how many recipients are on the Group message but absolutely does show who sent what on my phone.

Light, creamy texture adds supple definition and effortlessly undone texture.
Pearl-Touch Complex
Apply a small amount to damp or dry hair; blow-dry. Reapply to dry hair for added texture.
I went and had my haircut yesterday and she used this product for the first time on my hair i have very fine hair and it worked outstanding it gave me so much more body i love it!!!
I love this. I recieved some samples from my hair stylist who is a Redken rep. It's light weight, yet still manages to hold the style. They are correct when they say a small amount will do (especially if you have short to medium hair). It smells great too.
I have fine naturally wavy hair, I like to be the"guinea pig " whenever possible, and this stuff is great. Applied to damp hair, blow dried in, and reapplied after dry gave me great soft texture to my waves that honestly lasted all day. Soft and touchable
I really like working with this product! It's not too heavy for my thick, course, layered hair. It doesn't leave my hair stiff, but gives it lots of body and texture.
I have thin curly frizzy hair. My stylist gave me some samples and I love the results. I put a little in my hair when wet and let it air dry. My hair is softer, fuller with less frizz than it ever has been in the past. I highly recommend this product even if you do not use a blow dryer!
I love the things this product has done to my hair It is amazing
I've used Guts faithfully on my naturally curly hair for about six years now but tried Tousle Whip two weeks ago at the suggestion of my stylist. I have already used up one container and bought another. It makes my hair look like it's been professionally curled but feels like it has NO product in it. I receive compliments literally every day and have ladies ask what I use. Tousle Whip!
I like it so far. I've only played with the sample sizes, but I've used it in thick hair, thin hair, short hair, long hair, curly hair, straight hair, men's hair...you get the point. I'm anxious to try it on myself. I wish it gave it a little bit more def
Used first time @Redken exchange and was in love the smell, texture and the shimmer it leaves on your hands. Can't wait to use it in salon.....
I have been using the samples, I love it! A product I have been waiting for!


text: ASDs (autism spectrum disorders) are hypothesized as one of many adaptive human cognitive variations that have been maintained in modern populations via multiple genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Introgression from "archaic" hominids (adapted for less demanding social environments) is conjectured as the source of initial intraspecific heterogeneity because strict inclusive fitness does not adequately model the evolution of distinct, copy-number sensitive phenotypes within a freely reproducing population.Evidence is given of divergent encephalization and brain organization in the Neanderthal (including a ~1520 cc cranial capacity, larger than that of modern humans) to explain the origin of the autism subgroup characterized by abnormal brain growth.Autism and immune dysfunction are frequently comorbid. This supports an admixture model in light of the recent discovery that MHC alleles (genes linked to immune function, mate selection, neuronal "pruning," etc.) found in most modern human populations come from "archaic" hominids.Mitochondrial dysfunction, differential fetal androgen exposure, lung abnormalities, and hypomethylation/CNV due to hybridization are also presented as evidence.

A faithful reader sent us an advertisement on Sept. 13 that appears to have been clipped from Popular Militia Manmagazine. San Diego-based "self-defense/fitness/concealment" company Magills hawks the "CIA Plastic Knife," which is touted as being "undetectable to metal scanners" and strong enough to cut through tape, boxes and plastic bags. Accompanying photos show the CIA Plastic Knife was "easily stuck" into a two-by-four (pronounced "tuba four") and an apple. Says the unnamed product endorser, "I've used it to open letters, cut boxes, clean my fingernails, and, yes, I do take one onto airplanes when I travel . . . just in case." In case of what? A summons to slice up the crew, overpower the pilot and fly into a skyscraper? You'd think Magills would realize its products are just as accessible to kamikaze terrorists as they are to self-anointed freedom lovers. Actually, it appears the company does realize that: the CIA Plastic Knife is no longer among the products listed on the Magills website (www. magills.com), and a site search came up fruitless—and CIA Plastic Knifeless. But Magills is still pushing the Stainless Stealth Blade: it looks like a writing pen, acts like a switchblade! Be the first in first class to own one!
HEATHEN HELP US Notice how the only time you hear from the Reverend Jerry Falwell is when you absolutely do not want to hear from the Reverend Jerry Falwell? According to one of those little lines of text scrolling across the bottom of the screen during the round-the-clock "America Under Attack" coverage on [Insert Your Favorite Cable Network Name Here], Falwell blames the bloodbath on "pagans." If that's so, Reverend Fathead, how come organizers canceled the Sept. 15 Pagan Pride Day 2001 festivities at Woodley Park in Van Nuys in deference to national mourning? Shouldn't they be dancing around the willows in unbridled joy? All you godless heathens will be relieved to know your event has been rescheduled for Oct. 20. Tell 'em Jerry sent you.
REACH OUT AND TORCH SOMEONE When we read this on the Internet last week, we thought it was a joke: "Osama bin Laden has proclaimed the United States his enemy. He has been connected with acts of terror ranging from the murder of U.S. military personnel in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Somalia. His terror has inflicted death on hundreds of civilians as well and his efforts continue. GetBinLaden.com's goal is to end his reign of terror and bring him to justice. You can help . . . AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR LONG DISTANCE BILL EVERY MONTH! . . . GetBinLaden.com has partnered with Iphonebill to help you save money on your long-distance bill every month while assisting in putting bin Laden behind bars. GetBinLaden.com will contribute 5 percent of your paid monthly phone bill into a reward fund for the capture and conviction of bin Laden."
Guess what? Datamine Inc.'s GetBinLaden.com offer was genuine, originally appearing online in June. Unfortunately, many Netizens who found the site after the Sept. 11 attacks didn't know that. They figured it was a sick joke or callous attempt to profit off sorrow. Several threatened Datamine employees, so the company removed the site to protect its workers, according to a letter that pops up when you now long onto GetBinLaden.com. Datamine ends with "God Bless America."
THIS JUST IN Fountain Valley-based California Young Americans for Freedom faxed us on Sept. 17 to say they support a declaration of war against the Taliban, the use of nukes in that war, and the resurrection of the House Un-American Activities Committee to root out terrorists and their supporters on American soil. Somewhere in Hell, Joe McCarthy is smiling.

A young man was arrested after he was found asleep in the kitchen of a woman he did not know, but that was not all.
Washington County deputies in Portland, Oregon's Rock Creek neighborhood were called by a woman who informed them she woke up Sunday to find an unconscious man in her kitchen wearing pantyhose, no pants, and sleeping among at least two piles of his own feces.
According to local CBS affiliate KPHO, deputies believe 20-year-old Villarreal-Castillo was drunk when he managed to get into Shannon Patton's home and start going through her things. When authorities arrived they reportedly found Villarreal-Castillo was in possession of a number of small, allegedly stolen, small electronics. His pants were crumpled up next to him, apparently removed so he could defecate – twice.
Villarreal-Castillo is now facing trespassing, criminal mischief, burglary, and theft charges. The items recovered are believed to have come from unlocked vehicles he had gone in to that night.
It is believed he simply fell asleep while looking for things to steal from Patton's home.

Philadelphia Center City Residence Inn by Marriott
Image Gallery
Lonely Planet review
Inspired views of City Hall and a position at the centre of Center City make this an appealing choice. Rooms are a bit generic, but some of the hotel's Art Deco character remains alive on the building's facade and elevator doors.
Though this hotel's higher floors have decent views in all directions, we highly recommend that you ask for a suite in the hotel's southwest corner. These have views aimed directly at Philadelphia's Victorian skyscraping City Hall, an explosion of marble from the 19th century that is almost completely encrusted in sculpture. It looks like a huge wedding cake with a statue of William Penn on top. The hotel, part of the Marriott chain, occupies a well-maintained Art Deco building and former bank. Though some of its former design flourishes have been wiped away with time, the geometric incised lines of the elevator doors and colourful terracotta accents of the facade will convince you that this is the real deal. All lodging options are suites, with fully equipped kitchens, foldout couches and bland furniture.

It's here - It's harvest time – GAME ON.
Harvest, like a game only lasts for a certain amount of time. During games, just like harvest there will be interruptions. There will also be many other things to deal with at the farm, not to mention the multiple outside distractions that occur on a daily basis. But, the most important thing that we can do, especially during harvest is to deal with them, and return to our game. We started the game, now we have to finish it. Game On.
Pearsall, TX - Harvest has begun! So far, so good. It's great to be able to finally get the harvesters in the field. The first few fields weren't exactly home runs due to the wind and hail damage during the growing season, but the ones coming up have amazing potential.
Live Oak, FL – They are super busy putting the final touches on harvesters and the wash line. The crop is looking great and the potatoes are bulking nicely. Harvest is right around the corner!
Hawkinsville, GA – The crop is still a little bit behind due to the late planting, but it's trying to catch up as much as possible. Peanut planting and potato harvest are both in the near future.
Arbyrd, MO – The crop is progressing nicely despite fewer Growing Degree Days as compared to last year. They haven't had to run much irrigation yet. Tubers are about peanut size and we're excited to see how everything turns out. They are also injecting Nitrogen on corn, planting sorghum and getting ready to plant full season beans as well.
Columbia, NC - Daily management of the crop and controlling pests are keeping the team busy in NC. They are also working on the harvesters and grading equipment in the shed. The corn crop also looks good, but they need to keep the wild hogs away.
Charleston, MO – The warm weather has been great with a very aggressive growth rate. They are running irrigation when needed and spraying herbicide on a few fields. There are no signs of disease pressure at this point, but we'll keep vigilant with the cool and wet nights expected.
Rhodesdale, MD – All of the dammer-diking and spraying is completed. Most of the crop is at 50% emergence. We've had great weather in Maryland, and the plants are changing rapidly every day.
Oak Grove, LA – They are still pulling the plastic off of slips, and finally finished up with soybean planting. The farm team participated in Relay for Life last weekend and raised over $2,000!
Winamac, IN – The weather is finally warming up and the crop is progressing very nicely. A few fields have started to emerge. They are even having to irrigate on some of the sandy ground while looking forward to wrapping up planting.
Sturgis, MI – Plants are starting to emerge and the warm weather will accelerate that growth. Still receiving some seed, and applying herbicide.
Grand Forks, ND – There is a lot of travel outside of the Grand Forks office to make sure the farms are ready for harvest, make sure there is enough help at the beginning of harvest, and to ensure our customers know what to expect once we get more harvesters in the fields.
#BrunchWeek – We're also sponsoring a great social media event this week called Brunch Week. Over 30 bloggers will be talking about brunch, posting recipes and doing giveaways all week. We're encouraging them to use Red Potatoes in all brunch menus.
Check it out on Better With Reds Facebook Page.
All of the work that has been done this past year has lead up to this, the big game known as harvest. It's here. Even with the distractions. It only lasts a few weeks on each farm. We get one shot. We've done everything we think we could have done to be as successful as possible. Game On!

A charming and charismatic recently widowed Hampstead judge struggles to throw off his burden of grief. As he does his best to come to terms with the baffling mysteries of domestic life, from which his late wife has always protected him, he is surprised to discover that as an attractive and eligible widower in late middle age he is much in demand. He finds himself pursued by three very determined women desperately looking for new husbands. With which of them will he find the happiness he has lost and the contentment he is seeking? The efforts of the women to ensnare him, in which no holds are barred, are played out in a touching and hilarious comedy of grief by bestselling author and playwright Rosemary Friedman.
Our Review:
Paul Lucas-Scott - 17 April 2012
In the final scene of this piece there is a mention of speed-dating, but for those of us in the audience, it feels like we have just spent the last 90 minutes or so watching something very similar. In such a short production, the 17 scene changes come with such frightening rapidity that, before it is possible to begin to get comfortable, the action moves on.
In a nutshell, the story involves Judge Charles Castlemain, very recently widowed, who we first meet on the day of his wife's funeral. He is comforted by his daughter Poppy Meadows and, just as we start to really feel the emotion of a recently bereaved long-term partner, the action moves to the very next day when the first of a string of "ladies of a certain age" start to throw themselves at him. Quite inexplicably.
John D Collins as Castlemain is suitably wordy and pompous, obviously highly intelligent and extremely well-read, but he's not really a pleasant person. The fact is that, wit...

Sleek Slide
Item #
Our Philosophy Is Simple: Walkability
Sleek Slide
Very comfortable and true to size fit.
I bought the basalt boot for the width and was very satisfied with the fit and comfort. I needed a summer slide to beat the heat. This slide (sleek) comes in wide width as well. The soft leather and ventilated slide is probably the best sandle I have had. I walked long hours in them with no problems or discomfort. Ya gotta try these slides.....AWESOME!

Many CCM readers ask, "Why is your blog called Chocolate Covered Memories?"

Do you remember your first beer? Maybe it was a Guinness at the brewery in Dublin when you were studying abroad. Maybe it was a Corona at the Jersey shore on your 21st birthday.

Depending on how well (or poorly) our weekends begin, many of us love wrapping them up with a Sunday Funday, filled with eggs, mimosas, Bloody Mary's and who-knows-what after that. Heck, a good Sunday Funday often can be the most enjoyable and longest (in a good way) day of the week. Whether it's football [...]
As diners, we admittedly take a lot for granted. Yes, in this modern food world, many quality pubs offer very diverse menus.

She always collected shells and pebbles and twigs. Then this fall an East Tennessee woman who saw beauty in those objects started making them into actual art.
You'll find plenty of gently used books at Southland Books in Maryville. Tucked in a corner of the book store's cafe you'll see old rocks getting a new life.
"Ever since I was little I've brought home pockets full of pebbles and shells and sticks and everything," Lori Ogden explained.
She has always been attracted to pebbles: the color, the shape, the size. Now she sorts them into those categories since she started making pebbles into art.
"I think I actually just sat two of them together and I had two heads that had come from completely different places I'm sure," Lori Ogden said. "They looked like a couple for all the world standing there together and I think I ended up giving that one as a wedding present," she said.
She said making pebble art is therapeutic. It keeps her focused.
"Just to have something that tells a little story with as little as possible, "she said.
A finished piece is paper, pebbles, ink, maybe a twig. Nothing complicated.
"That's the challenge I guess to tell the story with just as little as possible because you tend to want to add more and more and more to it. And, yeah, keep it simple," she said.
Some of her creations are custom orders like a family with a certain number of children. Others are inspired by the pebbles.
"Sometimes the pebble itself starts me off. I have this one that looks like the moon exactly," she said.
Some are more difficult than others.
"A guy wanted a little girl holding a balloon and I managed that one pretty quickly and then he wanted the little boy who loved his mountain bike and he wanted the kid on the mountain bike and I just i struggled over that one forever because finding two perfectly round,,, you know you start with the wheels and it just took me forever to get the shape of the bike and I almost just threw it out the window and couple of times," she said.
Lori Ogden still enjoys collecting pebbles along river banks but now she's a little more picky.
"Since I've started doing the pebble art I've picked the smaller ones and the ones that have just a little bit more character to them. I don't pick the huge rocks anymore," she said.
She features her pebble art on a facebook page.

With the helpful encouragement of the good folks here, I made a new end to a C face motor (either a 7.5 or 5 hp) with a 213 5TC frame - worked quite well. Bearing fit is perfect, oil seal, perfect fit on the gearbox etc. Sliding gear had a rather tapered bore so I carefully lapped it to perfection. The shaft was 1.375 dia and long enough so turned it down to be the internal shaft of the gearbox. A one part solution.
Then I run it after getting it all together and DANG, its 3200 rpm!
For some inexplicable reason i'd always believe it was 1750 but there was not motor plate and I didn't check it
Not sure if there's any way of pulling the chestnuts out of the fire on this one...from what I've read 1200-1800 rpm is what i want.....unless I find a near identical motor of the right RPM, then hopefully the new end is salvageable. Ultimately it will have a VFD driving it...but 3k is too fast to start with, right?
